There are many, many detergent recipes available on the internet. Most uses various combinations of the same ingredients. This recipe is one I've adapted over time that works best at our house. I prefer a scented detergent, and no one in my family has any fragrance sensitivities. If your baby has sensitive skin, you will need to change out some ingredients, or switch to a store-bought, fragrance-free detergent.
The type of water you have, the type of washing machine you have, the style and brand of diapers you use, and your baby's own body chemistry can all affect how well a detergent works. Although this detergent recipe works perfectly in my home, it may require some tweaking for yours. Before using any detergent, homemade or not, you should check the manufacturer's instructions for your cloth diapers. Some detergent ingredients could void your diaper warranty, and some manufacturers may want you to avoid certain ingredients because they say they could damage your diaper components. As I've said, this detergent has worked very well for me and has not damaged my cloth diaper stash, but your experience could be different.
To begin, you'll need to gather your ingredients. I use:
- 2 bars of Dr. Bronner's Pure Castille Soap (Compare Prices on Pricegrabber.com)
- 1 box 20 Mule Team Borax
- 1 box Arm & Hammer Washing Soda (not baking soda)

Bridal market: Oscar de la Renta
Going to an Oscar de la Renta show is like visiting a fabulous dream of couture…full of frothy dresses mixed with sophisticated silhouettes. I had the distinct pleasure of getting to hang out backstage and shoot some Vine videos (one of which I share below, you can see more under #oscarbridal)…it was amazing how calm everyone was back there….I was expecting total chaos! But hey, it IS Oscar afterall.

Bridal market: Oscar de la Renta Spring 2013
What an honor to get to be at the Oscar de la Renta runway show! The dresses were an interesting mix of total classic silhouettes mixed with the modern, then a nod thrown in to the film Black Swan.
I thought all the different bouquets used for the show were quite interesting, especially the flowering branch. Maybe not very practical, but definitely different! And check out the blue nail polish…its by Oscar!

Real wedding: Jami + Andrew
Remember Jami & Andrew's adorable engagement party book? Well these 2 crazy kids finally got hitched, and we've got the pictures to prove it! From the gorgeous rehearsal dinner above, to the stylish wedding below, Jami gives all the details from their destination wedding to Mexico!
Andrew and I went down a few days earlier to prepare the gift bags, (Andrew made cutting boards for each guest room!, I made polaroid postcards, we put together our playlist, wrote welcome notes to each guest.) I have to say, i'd recommend the "pre-moon" to everyone! By the time everyone got down to Mexico, we were relaxed and calm and had spent quality time together. Of course a wedding pulls you in so many directions, and since we had those earlier days to be alone and get a lot done, we could really give our family and friends that made the journey, all of our attention. From the very beginning, my vision was always to be relaxing by the pool and the beach with my family and friends on the morning of my wedding, not running around in chaos. The weather was gorgeous, and that is exactly what i did.
The weather report said rain all weekend, and although i said i wasnt going to worry about the weather, the night before everyone was arriving, i was seriously bumming. But it was amazing. As people started arriving, the clouds broke, and they stayed away for the entire weekend. As people were heading to the airport on Sunday morning, no joke, the rain came down in sheets. Andrew and I stayed behind for 2 days, and it was a complete downpour. I was so happy to see the rain then!!
It really was the weekend of a lifetime. We feel so lucky.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — Early Friday, Earth took the celestial equivalent of a warning shot across the bow.
Amid the trials and tribulations of a group of cruise ship passengers enduring a sewage-soaked tour of the Caribbean, while Europe fretted over a growing scandal involving horse meat in its food supply, while the world was occupied by hundreds of concerns large and small, at least a little global attention was focused on the extraordinarily close passage of an asteroid predicted for later that day.
And that was the moment, entirely by coincidence, that a meteor entered the atmosphere and exploded several miles above the central Russian city of Chelyabinsk. The streaking meteor, its explosion and the subsequent shock wave were captured on video by dozens, if not hundreds, of Russians, who seem as enthusiastic about recording the mundane events of their lives as Americans.
The videos quickly made their way around the planet via television and the Internet. By Friday morning, most people had seen them, said something along the lines of "holy cow," and then turned their thoughts skyward to the passage of a much larger rock called 2012 DA14, slated to pass just 17,000 miles above Earth at 2:20 p.m. that afternoon. "What if ..."
What if, indeed.
There is a great number of these rocks, large and small, in space moving in near-Earth orbits, meaning their paths and ours cross from time to time. We hear about them occasionally on the news, as scientists tell us that one will pass fairly close — usually well beyond the orbit of the Moon — and that there is little cause for alarm.
Well, what of the day when there is cause for alarm? We, meaning humanity as a whole, not just Americans, are only just now beginning to locate and track these near-Earth objects, as they are known. Right now, there is little we could do to stop one on a collision course with Earth.
It is fortunate that the chances of a large space object hitting Earth are small. Unfortunately, the consequences of such a strike may be very great indeed.
The Russian meteor was relatively small, estimated at 50 feet in diameter. Its explosion over Chelyabinsk Friday blew out windows, collapsed a factory roof and injured more than 1,000 people.
Another strike in Russia, the 1908 Tunguska Event, leveled thousands of square miles of forest in Siberia.
A hit by something the size of 2012 DA14 — 150 feet in diameter — would level a city, scientists say. And they tell us that a very large strike some 65 million years ago wiped out the dinosaurs.
In short, we are shooting dice with the universe. Sooner or later, we'll come up snake-eyes.
We could protect ourselves from a life-ending blow using current technology — if governments were willing to make the commitment to prepare. Hollywood solutions such as blowing up an asteroid with nuclear weapons are unlikely to work. The fragments would continue in the same orbit and deliver an equally devastating hit on Earth.
What will work is to reach the asteroid while it is still far away and nudge it just a fraction of a degree. Time and distance should amplify that minor course alteration enough to cause the object to miss Earth.
The key is to have this technology ready to use. If we wait until we spot an Earth-threatening asteroid to design and assemble the equipment, it may be too late.
Surely, there will be a cost to make these preparations. But, with international cooperation, it could be manageable. It is at least worth beginning some talks and exploring options.
Leaving human survival to the whims of a random universe makes little sense.

A citizen called police to report a car fire in the 2900 block of Stallings Road around 1 a.m. The car had been reported stolen from Remerton.

A one-stop shop for fresh fruits and vegetables in Lee County is just weeks away. Construction on the Lee County-Leesburg Farmer's Market is underway.
For three years, City and County officials have been working to bring a farmer's market to Lee County. Now, their dream will soon be reality.
Lonzie Jimmerson is shelling his home grown peas in the hot sun. With cars zipping by his make-shift stand off US 19 in Leesburg, the thought of a nice place from which to sell his produce is appealing.
"Well, I wouldn't have to be sitting in the sun and in a place where people know to come for vegetables," says Jimmerson.
"We are standing on the site of the Lee County Leesburg Farmer's market. I can't hardly wait for the first booth to open we can buy green beans, corn, or a watermelon or two," says Lee County commissioner Jackie McCorkle.
McCorkle and Leesburg Mayor Bob Boney are checking out the site off the Leslie Highway. The County and City united to bring the project to life--combining state money both government's received for a farmer's market.
Jack Daniel Garrett of Jack Daniel's Garden says, "The County got $10,000 from the state for the farmer's market, Boney got another state grant and I said why not put together and build one in Leesburg."
Now, the completion of the market is just weeks away, and other farmer's are excited about its potential, but say it needs good marketing to bring people to north Leesburg.
"It's going to have to be promoted in the right way," says Garrett. "Maybe start off with a craft show, it's something we haven't had in Lee County."
Mayor Bob Boney thinks people will drive the distance for the fresh foods. "Stuff in food market lays around comes out of the state. If we can have it locally people I talk to are excited," says Boney.
And for small farmers, the market could be something to get excited about. Mayor Bob Boney hopes the market will open in two weeks.

The Stone Memorial Panthers will advance into tonight's Region 2AA semifinal game against Knox Fulton, after defeating Knox Carter 76-55 Saturday evening in the Panther gym; however, the Lady Panther's season ended with a 66-51 loss at Gatlinburg-Pittman Friday night.
SMHS 76, Carter 55: Four Panthers scored in double figures — Brock Rowan (25), Justin Simmons (19), Tyler Yoder (14) and Gage Spence (10), while Luke Matthews wrapped up the scoring with eight points.
"Carter is a good team. They play in a tough district," said Panther Coach Neil Capps. "We shot better in the second half."
The Hornets took a 5-0 first-quarter lead, but Rowan converted a three-pointer with under six minutes left to jump-start the Panthers, while a Matthews' bucket gave the Panthers a 10-8 lead with 3:26 left in the quarter. The teams exchanged buckets the rest of the quarter, before Spence gave the Panthers a 16-14 advantage at the buzzer.
SMHS built the lead to 24-16, but the Hornets stung the Panthers with 10 unansered points to take a 26-24 lead; however, the Panthers finished the quarter with an 8-5 run for a 32-31 halftime advantage.
Two baskets by Yoder, including a dunk, and a bucket by Rowan, put the Panthers ahead 38-35 with 5:02 left in the third quarter. Carter closed the gap to 38-37, but another bucket by Rowan with 4:09 remaining in the quarter sent the Panthers on a 17-7 spurt to take a 55-44 lead by quarter's end. Simmons and Spence also contrubuted to the scoring spurt.
A fourth-quarter trey by Rowan helped the Panthers go up 58-46, but the Hornets closed within 67-52 with 5:22 remaining in the game, but the Panthers finished the quarter with a 7-3 run for the final margin.
The Panthers face Fulton in the region semi-finals at Carter tonight at 5 p.m. CST.
"They are well coached and really spread you out defensively," added Capps.
A reminder to Panther fans going to and from the game: Be advised Tennessee hosts Friday, so allow some extra travel time as travel will be heavier as time draws closer to tip-off of the Florida-UT game which is at 9 p.m. EST.
Gatlinburg-Pittman 66, SMHS 51: The Lady Highlanders jumped out to a 29-12 first-quarter lead and then used a 16-14 second-quarter run to take a 45-26 half-time advantage.
Gatlinburg-Pittman stretched the lead to 56-32 after three quarters, but the Lady Panthers finished the game with a 19-10 fourth quarter to slice the final margin to 66-51.
Leading scorers for SMHS were Kirsten Potter (14 points), Jacki Livesay (10 points), Faith Van Ruden (nine points), Abby Griffin (eight points), Tiffany Cokkinias (four points), Sidney Early (three points), Emily Bryant (two points) and Makayla Kington (one point).

Search is on for favourite trees
Havant Tree Wardens have launched a hunt among fellow residents for their borough's favourite trees. They are challenging individuals and organisations to nominate – online or by post – trees of particular significance in the Havant landscape. Among those they hope to involve are faith groups, schools, Scouts, Guides, Cubs, Brownies and other youth groups, horticultural societies, allotment holders, conservation and environmental organisations, pensioner organisations, residents and local business associations.
The Favourite Tree project will celebrate the borough's trees by using photographs of them in various projects, possibly including a 2013 calendar. The closing date for entries is 1 October. The top 12 trees will then be selected by a panel of judges.

We're all creating one by the day.
And we'll all leave one eventually.
So, how do you want to be remembered?
I mean, when it's your time to leave this earth, how will those in the community reflect on your achievements?
Will you be thought of as ...
•A tireless worker?
•A talented jack of all trades?
•A whiz on the computer?
•One of the funniest people we've ever been around?
•A really nice guy?
•A great friend?
•A good husband?
•A devoted mother?
•The winningest coach at (pick a sport)?
•A dedicated volunteer at church?
All of the above?
Or other.
Aw, it really doesn't matter anyway.
"I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody." — Bill Cosby
That word has been on my mind as the Paterno family has set out to undo the Freeh Report, which accused legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno of being aware that Jerry Sandusky sexually abused boys through the years.
During an interview on the "Katie Couric Show," Paterno's daughter, Mary Kay Hort, said the family is speaking out now because it's the "right thing to do."
"My dad was all about honesty, integrity, commitment and hard work," Hort said.
The Paternos, it appears, simply want to restore Joe's legacy.
Two questions immediately popped into my mind:
1) Isn't it good enough that the family — and probably anyone who played for him — remember Joe in a noble way? I mean, who really cares what I or some lady in Frogspit, Idaho, think about him?
2) What, exactly, was Paterno's legacy around the nation before November 2011, when Sandusky was arrested and charged?
•Would he have been remembered as the winningest football coach in Division I history?
•A man who cared as much about academics as he did football?
•A man who loved his university and community and emptied his wallet often to prove it?
•A legend worthy of a statue at Beaver Stadium?
•Or a sanctimonious know-it-all who ran from previous rivalries and ruined Eastern football?
•Or an old curmudgeon who stayed at Penn State for far too long after the game had passed him by?
•Or a "phony" who played the corrupt NCAA system like any other coach?
Was Joe all of the above?
Or other.
Aw, it really doesn't matter anyway.

Nick Waterhouse has a new one - it's "Time's All Gone" and it's on Thorstein Veblen's favorite
label, Innovative Leisure. It's vintage R&B from a 25-year-old dude wearing a suit - and not a bathing suit - all the way from Huntington Beach. These are time warp tunes smartly done that sound like they fell off the charts from 1961 - or back when AM radio was cool. Not only does Waterhouse have the vibe and the voice - he has the look and more importantly, that honking sax brings back memories of Lee Allen and the happening harmonies of the back-up singers combine to make all real. Once again, it's so old, it's new. Remember that Blasters' song, "I'm Shakin"'? Then imagine that as a career - works for me. Waterhouse will be in Santa Barbara on April 29.

What Is It?
One of the most common cancers, lung cancer usually occurs when a cancer-causing agent, or carcinogen, triggers the growth of abnormal cells in the lung. These cells multiply out of control and eventually form a tumor. As the tumor grows, it destroys nearby areas of the lung. Eventually, tumor cells can spread (metastasize) to nearby lymph nodes and other parts of the body. These include the
In most cases, the carcinogens that trigger lung cancer are chemicals found in cigarette smoke. However, more and more lung cancers are being diagnosed in people who have never smoked.
Lung cancers are divided into two groups, based on how their cells look under the microscope: non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer. Non-small cell lung cancer may be localized. This means that it is limited to the lung or that it hasn't spread beyond the chest. As a result, it can usually be treated with surgery. Small cell lung cancer is rarely localized, even when it is detected early. It is rarely treated with surgery. Knowing whether the cancer has spread is critical, because it affects treatment decisions.
However, even when doctors think that the cancer is localized, it often comes back shortly after surgery. This means cancer cells had started to spread before surgery, but they couldn't yet be detected.

After successful draft, New Westminster Salmonbellies shake up coaching staff
Ken Thomas is out and Steve Goodwin is in. After missing the 2012 play-offs and failing to make it back to the Mann Cup since 2010, New Westminster Salmonbellies GM Dan Richardson decided it was once again time for a change. In an official statement on their website, the Bellies say that Thomas has stepped down "due to personal reasons " and at the same time, the team opted to part ways with assistant coaches Chris Gill and Sheldon Palidwor.
Thomas replaced Bob Salt after the 2010 season, when for the third straight year the Bellies won the West but were unable to secure their 25th Mann Cup.
Monday night, New West along with the other six Western Lacrosse Association teams participated in the 2013 Entry Draft and the Bellies were able to pick up some crucial pieces to the puzzle that Richardson hopes will help the team get back to the top of the mountain.
Goodwin has had some great success as the head coach of the Intermediate Salmonbellies lacrosse team, helping them to back-to-back Intermediate A gold medals. Along with his assistants–Russ Heard, Jamie Stewart and Darrin London–Goodwin brings a high IQ coaching staff with not only a winning attitude but strong ties with the Salmonbellies organization.Teddy Jenner is one the leading sources for lacrosse information. He comes by his love of lax honestly with a lifetime of experience, two Mann Cup championships and six years of play in the NLL. Email him at email@example.com, follow him on Twitter @OffTheCrosseBar or catch him on Team 1410 radio in Vancouver, B.C., as the host and producer of the Off the Crosse-Bar Radio Show In 2012, he was awarded the BCLA's Norm Wright Merit Award- handed out to a member of the media deemed to have have contributed to the promotion of lacrosse.

Meaningful Missionary Gifts
If you have any ideas for meaningful gifts for newly called missionaries, please post a comment below...
- "My son was given personalized stationary with his scripture on it and the temple of his area. I love to see those envelopes come every time he writes. They just used a nice creme colored paper and cut it in half (regular size 8-1/2 x 11) bought envelopes to match and found the pictures on line of the Temple!!!" (Idea by Wendy Anderson)

We like to give an address book with stamps. The address book can then be left out/open when guests come to visit & their information can be filled in, including e-mail addresses!
Mar 07 2011 13:45:43 | Susan Western
During our RS super saturday we all signed a card and made our missionaries little sacrament books. I thought that would be a great gift cause if they were teaching kids they can show them pictures.
Mar 18 2011 06:52:20 | Nikki Tanner
I collected one picture and a quote, message,or favorite scripture from all of our sons close friends, family, and church leaders. I had them all email the picture and message. I also took a picture of our home, our dog, his favorite place to eat, the park he has fun memories at, etc...I then made a soft back pocket book (3 X 5 size) for him to take with him on his mission so he could see those who support him at home, and also so that he can share with his companions his family and friends. I made the book online at My Publisher. They almost always have a coupon, or sale on the books. I will send it in a package that arrives the day he enters the MTC. They have same day delivery for $10 at a few different locations if you live in Utah.

A friend of mine likes to give family-member missionaries a nice copy of their priesthood lineage. She makes it just the right size for them to tuck inside their scriptures and laminates the copy for longevity.
Mar 18 2011 21:12:04 | jo
you can get a missionary journal at deseret book that has a place for a before and afterphoto and i few other thing to put in for before and after
Mar 19 2011 13:36:26 | Wendy
I made a pillow case with a quote and picture on it for my sister-in-law. It was small enough to take along, and you can personalize it with an uplifting quote they can think of while crying on their pillow... or whatever. I liked variations on "enter into my rest" "my burden is light" etc.
Oct 22 2013 08:40:09 | Ann Navarrette - GREAT IDEA!!!
My oldest son and his family are about to go to Tanzania Africa for 10 years. This is a beautiful idea for a Christmas gift! Thank you! Ann
Mar 23 2011 08:35:02 | Krystine
Some of the best gifts that I got as a missionary were the lessons, or activities that helped me teach the gospel. There were a lot of times when we would do FHE's, and church lessons so it helped to have some different pictures, charts, and activities to help us.

When my husband went on his mission my mother-in-law made him a large laundry bag. She had people write something, advice, name, ect. in waterproof marker on the bag at his farewell. It was very useful, and made a great memento years later.
Mar 27 2011 19:27:03 | Joan
This isn't really creative, but one of the most useful things given to me when I went on my mission was a bag full of those foam earplugs. You never know what noises you may need to block out so you can sleep. Years later, I gave some to my niece. She thought it was a pretty funny gift, but wrote me a few months later and said how glad she was to have them!
Mar 27 2011 22:50:57 | Lesley
For my sons missionary farewell I organised a few men who had been a role model for him during his youth years, and had them write a message on the back of a "nice" old tie that meant something something to them. My son can wear those ties with pride and confidence remembering his leaders at home.

My extended family always throws a missionary shower for the new missionary. The gifts are usually items from the missionary's list of needed supplies. The shower is a chance to spotlight the missionary, make great memories, and to help the missionary get ready to serve.
Apr 06 2011 11:33:02 | Candice
My 2 favorite things have been a T book and a "remember when" book.
T stands for testimony. So you get a big notebook (at borders they make this brown spiral bound notebook where the pages are a bit heavier that is my fave) and that missionary can have companions, mission president...really whoever, write their testimony in it. The best thing to do is to also put a picture of them by their testimony...a great idea for zone conferences where you'll be seeing everyone.
the Remember when book is something I made for my lil sis when she served. It's a great little book to have with you at all times as a missionary so that when you're doing something and something memorable happens you can write it in your RW book. You can flip back to it and say, do you remember when we were walking down the road and passed this lady and we both turned around at the same time to hunt her down!!! it's a great place to write those funny kinds of memories that might not make it into the j...

ANOTHER great idea I recently heard an elder in our ward is doing...apparently he was MR. TEXTER. You know what I'm talking about...cell phone attached to fingers. Rarely a call made, most conversations done via text message. Well, he took a couple packages of 3x5 index cards with him and while he was out tracting or doing whatever he was doing that day, he would write down on the index card what he normally might have text'd his parents. (ie. HAH! just passed a couple of old women arguing...I couldn't understand what they were saying but they sounded like a couple of chickens..)
At the end of the week he would gather the cards he had written on that week and he would send them home.
His parents LOVE this.

While on my mission, one sister had a small hymn book someone in her ward had given her with quotes in it. I made my own, but give them to new missionaries. You always need a hymn book and the quotes are handy if you have to give an impromptu talk and don't have any materials. Many a talk came from one of those quotes.
Apr 11 2011 17:22:10 | Angi Fankhauser
I made two binders(three ring for mom) slim one for Missionary to take with them). The one for the mom had small gift ideas with scripture references to go along with the gift.
Many websites for info. on getting them ready. Also small package of tissues for the unexpected tears. Names of Places to buy "missionary" items. Many pages of how to's and where to's. The missionary one had a small cook book with easy simple but nurishing recipes, more tissues, ideas for writing home, pens with stationary. Ideas for things to take that might not be on their list.
I gave this to the newest missionary mom in our ward and they LOVED IT!!
Apr 15 2011 09:11:25 | Regina Campbell
My brother went to Venezuela and he really liked getting church stickers of temples and jesus etc. to give out the the little children there. They LOVED getting simple things like that.

Symbols of Zion has some amazing gifts for missionaries! They have CTR Mission Rings as well as Coins that are beautiful. These are just two out of many other appropriate gifts for newly called, already serving, or returned missionaries. They also offer quantity discounts if you call and ask.

For my missionaries I have gone to all of the people who are important in his life, asked them to write a letter on paper I provide (all pages are the same), they leave room for a picture to be added to the page. I take a picture of them (individual, families, priesthood leaders) holding a sign that says We Love You. I put them all in a book for him to keep throughout his mission lest he ever feels alone or forgotten. My missionaries LOVE this.
Jun 14 2012 11:52:08 | BrittnyBug
I'm getting my friend a Missionary Build-a-Bear. Also, buying a new journal and writing some of your favorite quotes from General Authorities on random pages is a good idea. Tie pins with their country's flag, pictures of their friends holding a sign with personal messages...
Nov 09 2012 05:08:55 | Guest
There are Mission TShirts, stuffed animals and even Christmas stockings available through www.latterdaymissiontshirts.com - These are a great idea for mom to send as a gift any time of the year.
Probably more fun than meaningful, but fun is always good.

The Senate was still voting late Tuesday, but Democrats did not have enough votes to overcome a filibuster led by Republicans. Most Democrats supported the bill while all Republicans were voting to block it.

Many soccer fans saw one of the hardest and best fought battles in women's soccer on Monday. The game, for fans, was full of emotions. Christien Sinclair put Canada in the lead three times, with Rapinoe answering twice and Wambach equalizign the score with a controversial penalty kick ten minutes before the end of the game. The boiling point came when Morgan put the ball into the next in extra time, ensuring a US berth in the final against Japan.
Emotions ran high after the game and the Canadian women told the Norwegian referree, Christiana Pedersen, that she must be wearing a USA uniform, when considering made some of the calls made during the game.
One of the most controversial calls was a time delay call against Canada's keeper, which resulted in a free kick just outside the box. The subsequent Rapinoe free kick resulted in a handball and a penalty kick, which Abby Wambach [Unlink] easily sank in the net. One of the allegations was that one of the US players had counted the seconds out loud, influencing the referee.
There were the arguments that a similar situation in the US box had been ignored, while Canada's handball was not intentional. Officials are presently reviewing the after game behaviour by the Canadian side toward the referee, but have delayed the decision until after both the bronze medal and final have been completed.
Shortly after a hard fought battle, with emotions and adrenalin still running high, it is understandable that there was a reaction by Canada's women. While not pretty, these things can happen after a game. No one was threatened or physically attacked. It would be best to write it off as a lesson learned.
Today the US women weighed in on the game, charging that the Canadian women crosses the line with dirty tactics. Abby Wambach when asked about the game, first said what was done is done.
"What's done is done," said American star Abby Wambach."I can't speak for the referee. I don't care how we got here. Our focus is entirely on the gold-medal game," she said.
In Canada there is a heated discussion over the game and it's result, despite the fact that this was probably one of the best games ever played in women's soccer.
As a follower of Team Canada and the world championships, there has been vast improvement in the women's style and technical ability. Particularly the Canadian side, with its new coach, has demonstrated that they are more than a one woman team. An all out team effort is the order of the day.
Americans had their own take on the game and voiced their opinions during today's press conference for the final against Japan. Carli Lloyd [Unlink], in particular, accuses Melissa Tancredi of deliberately stepping on her head.
"I couldn't believe it when I saw the replay. As it was happening in the game, I just thought someone accidentally stepped on me. When I saw that, I couldn't believe it. I hope actions are taken," Lloyd said.
Midfielder Megan Rapinoe [Unlink] said that it was basically two teams going after what they wanted and at times there were incidents that crossed the line. Lloyd reiterated that as far as the referee goes, you're not going to get the calls every time. Some of the calls could have gone either way.
The game is over, the women gave us a fantastic and exciting game. It's really time to look ahead and focus on Canada's game against France for the bronze medal and the U.S.'s game against Japan. Both matches promise to be classic.
Soccer is a game, where calls are still made by the referee on the ground and are not subject to instant replay. That may be in a team favour at one time and not another.
There were indeed rules broken on both sides, but referees are only human and it is human to err.
One thing is clear, this tournament has been one of the best in recent women's soccer history. Both the US and Canada can be proud of the contributions made by their teams.

Criminal Minds season 8 continues next week with episode 7, "The Fallen," which will have some focus on Rossi as he reconnects with someone from his military past.
CM Season 8 Episode 7 "The Fallen" Promo
"The BAU travels to Santa Monica when burned bodies of homeless people begin showing up by the famous pier. Also, Rossi reconnects with his former Marine sergeant from Vietnam."
The last episode, "The Apprenticeship," teased that someone's watching the BAU and began to introduce the recurring unsub as a body has shown up with his mouth sewn shut—the same MO from the first case of the season. Will they be facing more of that in this next episode? The preview focuses entirely on the case like always and doesn't offer a hint as to what to expect regarding Rossi and his former Marine sergeant, but that is something to look forward to given that this isn't a show that spends all that much time on the characters' pasts.
The theme of the Criminal Minds season 8 episode 7 promo for "The Fallen" (below) is cleanliness. This unsub is apparently very much into being clean—and they're pouring bleach on their victims. Is it about cleanliness or cleansing? It sounds like Reid may have figured it out: "To him, they're a virus." The unsub sees himself as the cure. Now that's disturbing.
What do you think of the Criminal Minds season 8 episode 7 preview of "The Fallen"?

Why You Shouldn't Follow Your Passion
People are often told to build a career based on what they're passionate about—it's terrible advice.
If you've ever asked anyone for career advice, you've probably heard some version of "follow your passion." Young people, in particular, are often told that they should figure out what career to pursue by building their work around whatever they're passionate about.
The problem is, it's terrible advice. Here's why:
Now, of course some people are passionate about their work, and that's a wonderful and lucky thing. If you can find a way to turn what you love doing into something that makes you a living, by all means do. But the point is that "do what you love," for most people, isn't a reliable way to find the right career—and can lead to anxiety, job-hopping and dissatisfaction.
What's more, often what makes people happy at work isn't that they're passionate about what they're doing, but rather that they have a sense of accomplishment or impact, or they enjoy the autonomy they're given, or they feel respected or useful. So a better goal than "follow your passion" is probably to do something that you're good at, that brings you a reasonable amount of satisfaction, and that earns you a living. And know that it's fine to save the things you're truly passionate about for outside of work, if that's how it happens to turn out.
Alison Green writes the popular Ask a Manager blog, where she dispenses advice on career, job search, and management issues. She's also the co-author of Managing to Change the World: The Nonprofit Manager's Guide to Getting Results, and former chief of staff of a successful nonprofit organization, where she oversaw day-to-day staff management, hiring, firing, and employee development.

The Economic Cost of Hangovers
- By Derek Thompson
- July 5, 2013
- Leave a comment
The Fourth of July is beer's annual breakout party, with weekly sales often surpassing $1 billion around Independence Day. So when the Fifth of July falls on a weekday like this year, employers are advised to, well, manage their expectations.
Excessive drinking costs the economy more than $220 billion -- or about $1.90 per drink, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, which studies the negative externalities of alcohol consumption each decade. Seventy-two percent of the costs came from lost workplace productivity, according to the 2006 survey, which suggests that the economic drag from hangovers is about $160 billion (... also the total cost of natural catastrophes in 2012.)

I believe the completion of the brand-new Cougar Football Complex at WSU in Pullman is the latest reminder that the people behind big college football programs are as readily bought and sold as United States senators. WSU athletic director Bill Moos sounded tearful with pride when he commented, "This is where football teams are made." Funny. I thought football teams were made in crummy rural or inner-city high school facilities that practiced and preached quaint-sounding values such as teamwork, selflessness, respect and hard work unenhanced by pharmaceutically honed conditioning and sleazy product sponsors. And served under coaches who produced either good or not-so-good teams without the obvious advantage of having individual air-quality systems in their bedroom-sized lockers. Cougar athletes now have their own cafeteria (with European chefs!), a locker room that's "as good as it gets" (question: how good can a locker room get?), and a weight-room floor "built on 400 springs to absorb the impact of weights." I need more than that to absorb the dead weight of this money-obsessed college football reality. Even as NCAA athletes sue to be given a portion of the revenue from lucrative TV contracts and alumni wealth, the plantation owners make it harder for athletes in college to resist working for free. Just give Cougar football players a few exotic goodies and everybody's happy.

I recently hired a lawyer to represent me in a case against the landlord that I used to rent an apartment from. When I first moved in to this apartment I absolutely loved it. The apartment was in a historic neighborhood which meant that my place had a ton of charm and character. The landlord seemed really cool at first, as they tend to do, but a months or so after I moved in she started to act very strangely. She would send me strange e-mails at odd hours of the night making crazy demands and assumptions. My guard immediately went up and I started to save all of our e-mail correspondences in case I would ever need them. I am glad that I did because those e-mails came in handy during my case against her. As time went on the apartment I was living in started to fall apart. A hail storm broke the ceiling windows in the bathroom and when I requested that they be repaired, my landlord ignored my calls and e-mails. About a month later the washing machine in my unit broke causing the entire back room to flood. I called my landlord as it was happening and didn't hear a word from her until a week later after leaving multiple angry messages on her voicemail and e-mails in her inbox.
The pinnacle of my frustration with my landlord came when I was moving out. I was obviously not planning on signing another lease with this landlord and gave her very early notice that I would not be resigning my lease. After very little communication on her part I moved out knowing that I had covered myself legally throughout the move out process. Three months later my landlord subpoenaed me for two thousand dollars in damages to the apartment. Obviously this was ludicrous and I knew that if she took me to court that I would win without a doubt. I got online to search for a lawyer and was immediately overwhelmed by all of my options. In looking through all of the various law firm websites I was surprised to notice how much the attorney website design weighed on my decision to hire them or not. I quickly realized that if an attorney had a poorly designed website that I would immediately dismiss them as an option and move on to a different firm's site. Little things like font choice or ease of navigation seemed to greatly impact my judgement of the law firm. It was clear to me that marketing is a very important aspect of a lawyer's business. I realized how true it really is that a website is today's most common first impression. I passed judgement very quickly after seeing an attorney's website design.
Eventually I found a lawyer to represent my case and just as I thought it was over very quickly and ended up in my favor. In the end my landlord owed me money to cover my legal fees.

Packers reach $37.5 million agreement with Hawk
By John Clayton
The Green Bay Packers have agreed in principle to a six-year, $37.5 million contract with A.J. Hawk, the fifth overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft.
The former Ohio State linebacker hopes to get the language of the contract done by Saturday morning so that he can practice. Terms of his guarantees haven't been finalized. Those will be done Friday night and Saturday morning.
Talks between the Packers and Hawk's agent, Mike McCartney, heated up Thursday afternoon when the Jets completed a similar deal with D'Brickashaw Ferguson, the fourth pick in the draft. The Packers reported to camp Friday.
All of the Packers' draft choices now have contract agreements.

Claremont Discourse Schedule - Spring 2008
Claremont Discourse is a faculty lecture series sponsored by The Claremont Colleges Library
All lectures will be held in the Founders Room of Honnold/Mudd Library. Discussion will follow each lecture, and refreshments will be provided.
Through the Glass Closet: The Homosexual Origins of the Far Right
Robert Dawidoff, Professor of History, Claremont Graduate University
Thursday, February 21, 4:15 p.m.
What types of closets are there? Whether one constructs a closet as a place of respite from society's norms or as a cloak of those same norms, both are survival strategies. One provides freedom; the other constriction, psychological suppression, and denial. Both have costs and both have influenced the very society that marginalized and demonized them. In his lecture, Robert Dawidoff will preview a chapter of his forthcoming book, The Glass Closet: A History of Solutions.
The Practical Use of History: A Panel Discussion of the Puente Hills Preserve Project
Janet Farrell Brodie, Professor of History, Claremont Graduate University with CGU History Students
Wednesday, March 5, 4:15 p.m
In January 2005, the Puente Hills Landfill Native Habitat Preservation Authority contracted with the CGU History Department to provide student researched papers about the history of the Puente Hills. The History Department believed that such a sponsored research project would be an ideal way to acquaint the public with the Preserve while providing graduate students in the doctoral and master's programs with professional experience in producing local history for a sponsor. This panel will discuss the project and the unique opportunities it presented to faculty and graduate students.
Pomona Poet/National Poet: Robert Mezey Reads from His Works
Robert Mezey, Professor Emeritus of English, Pomona College
Wednesday, March 26, 4:15 p.m
Winner of the Lamont Poetry Prize the PEN Poetry Award, and many other garlands, Robert Mezey is a poet of wide experience, erudition, voice and form. The topics of his poems range from Thomas Hardy to Charles Starkweather to reflections on being a Jewish son. An explorer of poetic forms, he has written in blank verse, syllabics, ballads, sonnets, terza rima-even a haiku and a blues. His talents as a teacher found a welcoming home at Pomona College from 1976 until he retired in 1999. Professor Mezey will read from his works and talk about the art of teaching poetry.
Embedded at Harvey Mudd College: An Anthropologist's Ventures in Knowledge Making Practices
Marianne de Laet, Associate Professor of Anthropology and Science, Technology, and Society, Harvey Mudd College, & Chair, Intercollegiate Program in the Study of Science, Technology and Society
Wednesday, April 23, 4:15 p.m.
What do an extra large ground-based astronomical observatory-in-the-making, a patent, a bottle of exquisite Burgundy wine, and a Harvey Mudd student have in common? As she reflects on the role anthropology can play in a science and engineering environment, Professor Marianne de Laet will connect these four objects of her own scholarly research and explore how her research and teaching have been informed and transformed by her curious constituency: engineers and scientists in-the-making; "subjects" and "objects" of her work. In a somewhat broader context, she will discuss Claremont's unique Intercollegiate Program in STS.

Mighty Redlands East Valley came into town to what football critics around the league were touting as the game of the week.
The Broncos and Wildcats were anticipated to fight a defensive battle long into the evening. The only defense in the game was on the Murrieta side of the ball.
Coach Kurt Bruich and his Wildcats—ranked 38th in the state—were defeated in front of a packed, standing-room-only stadium and a live TV audience.
"We just got embarrassed, I didn't see this coming," said Coach Bruich.
No one did. Except maybe Coach Coley Candaele.
Candaele's punishing defensive unit were just too much for the Wildcats. Defensive linemen Grant Cleary, Tyler Cook and Curtis Bolton overwhelmed REV all game, forcing several turnovers for touchdowns.
Broncos Su'a Cravens, Ricky Ramera, Tyler Van Dyk and Bryce Smith totally locked down, dominated and completely stopped everyhting REV's offense tried to run.
The Wildcats managed two touchdowns late in the game after trailing 59-0. Philip Jones-Ward, Bryar Yup and Treshon Brougton scored touchdowns for the Broncos on fumble recoveries—a very offensive defense.
Vista quarterback Nick Stevens was 11-17 with 192 yards with three touchdown throws.
Cravens had two touchdown receptions while Dominick Marmolejo caught the other.
Stevens saw very limited playing time in the second half.
A very convincing win for Candaele and the Broncos against a highly ranked and respected opponent. Look for Vista Murrieta to move up in the state rankings.

TYLER (KYTX) - Summers are the busiest time of year for fast food restaurants. That's according to a new report in USA Today. This year, fast food chains are advertising plenty of diet disasters to try to get you in the door or in the drive through. You've probably heard about the glazed donut breakfast sandwich by now. Also on tap this summer- cheesy bacon pretzel dogs, peanut butter and jelly shakes, chicken waffle tenders... You can also look forward to the new strawberry Pop Tart ice cream sandwich. Pediatrician Dr. Valerie Smith with St. Paul Children's Clinic says unfortunately, a lot of these new summer foods are marketed to children. "Our kids are constantly getting bombarded with messages about high sugar, high fat items, fast foods." Joann Parks says it happens all the time in her home. That's why she tries to limit her children's amount of TV time. "They like to point at the TV and say, 'mama let's go there!' But, I try and cook more at home than going out to fast food places." Dr. Smith says that's a great idea. If you do have to make a fast food trip though, swap some of the foods for healthier choices. "I encourage them to drink the juices or water, not the cokes." says Parks. "I also get the fruit instead of fries. And, we usually opt out for chicken instead of the burgers." Dr. Smith says your kids are more likely to accept those changes if you make a game plan before driving through the line. "It's not about depriving kids of things, it's about teaching them that they need to eat the healthy things and then occasionally have those treats." Dr. Smith says her children love frozen grapes and frozen blueberries. She also recommends frozen yogurt pops instead of a trip to the ice cream store.

She says more people are coming through their doors every month. "We see people who have been laid-off or had paychecks cut back, so it's important for us to make sure our shelves stay stocked," said Avera.
