Common courtesy called forFebruary 24,2014Bus driver
owes an apology
Today I rode The Bus for the first time. The ride to work was very pleasant.
The ride home was a disaster. I waited at the bus stop in Castleton on this frigid night. The bus was 15 minutes late and did not arrive at the stop until almost 7:18. Then, rather than stopping at the bus stop, the driver quickly pulled over in front of the Blue Cat diner, two doors away. As I ran for the bus, the driver pulled away with a hesitation. A quick stop and go without any concern for people waiting at the designated bus stop. I was left running after the bus waving my arms.
I had to call a cab and pay $25 for a ride back to Rutland.
I deserve an apology and the driver needs to be retrained in customer service. There is no excuse for leaving a passenger on the side of the road on a cold night.
Public transportation sounds like a good idea but The Bus needs to be more aware of customers.

"About 2 percent of Americans get paid the minimum wage."

Panama is already better than Guadeloupe and they are up a man after a first half red card to Mickael Tacalfred. The Panamanians most certainly do not need any extra help to win, but that's what they got. A foul by Miguel Comminges on Blas Perez left the referee no choice, but to point to the penalty spot. Panama had themselves a penalty kick, one they converted, and now they have themselves a 3-0 lead with more than a half hour left to play in this Gold Cup Group C match.
One the penalty was given, Gabriel Gomez stepped to the spot and drilled a hard shot to the goalkeeper's right. Guadeloupe keeper Franck Grandel guessed right and dove, but the shot was hard and high. Grandel did not have a chance and Panama were ahead 3-0.
This match has been all-Panama from the beginning and with Guadeloupe down a man it is hard to imagine a comeback. Panama will need to keep pressing though to pad their goal difference, something that could make a huge difference when it's time to determine who moves on to the knockout stages.

4.3/5 rDev +12%
One of the newest, limited edition releases from LaConner Brewing, a relatively new brewery on the Pacific Northwest scene whose ability to produce stunning and bold brews of immaculate complexities yet subtle enough to be thoroughly enjoyable.
Released as their 2002 Christmas festive brew, it lives up to the hype that surrounds this new brewery. For all those outside of the PNW who have yet to enjoy LaConners brews, youre in for a nice treat. Like Stone in San Diego, LaConner tends to break most of the rules when they release a new brew. But when rules are broken here, your palette isnt about to be assaulted. Instead, theyve refined their complex brews, which tend to be on the hoppier side of things, in such a fashion that they remain incredibly drinkable yet stunning in every turn.
This newbie pours a deep golden brown with extensive cloudiness, similar in complexion to Mac & Jacks African Amber but superior in the taste department. Despite the unfiltered nature of this brew, the sediment deposit is virtually non-existent, making for a very enjoyable brew.
There is virtually no head on the pour, even when being excessively terse in the delivery. No collar and no lacing on the glass.
Caramel and fruit aromas abound, plus plenty of sweetness, which reminisce a interesting winter blend of dark rum and vanilla.
Taste-wise, there's plenty of crow about in this sturdy offering, including a strong hop factor, nice robust but well-rounded malt factor, toffee hints, and plenty of fruitiness to help round out this brew with a hint of cloyiness. Very reminiscent of a Barley Wine (be sure to check out LaConners Olde Curmudgeon Barley Wine) complete with nice hearty sense smashing blend of hops and malts. Although similar in style to a Barley Wine, its not sold as one, so comparing it to any other style out there is difficult at best. Rest assured, its a nice tasting beer and should be sought out by those looking for unique brew offerings.
Exceptionally good tasting brew that will undoubtedly make for a great winter warmer. Hopefully this one comes back next year. Having downed a few bottles of this one already prior to reviewing it, Ive already headed back to my source to pick up another 6 bottles to carry me through the first part of the year.

3.9/5 rDev +1.6%
Appearance Very dark, almost black in color with little head.
Smell Theres a nice malt profile to this one but what got my attention was the rather large play of piney hops. This one has a sharp piney hop aroma that seems very much so out of place. Theres also some nice molasses and brown sugars here.
Taste I cant say that Ive ever had an ale in this style that is so hoppy and so lacking in malt character. Maybe it is mislabeled?
Anyway, its not so bad. Its more like a funky Barley Wine, though. I will say that the combination of sharp pine hops and caramel malts is a new one for me. Theres also some huge NW apples in the flavor. If I had to guess Id say Jonathan, but Im not the apple expert.
Mouthfeel A dry, strong/old ale? Yes, indeed. There is little malt to keep this one from drying the mouth. This ale is medium-bodied on the heavy side.
Drinkability I enjoyed this ale, even though it doesnt really fit into anything that Ive drank before. I guess this is why I love trying new stuff you never know whats in store.

Wow, this one took me offguard. Picked this up in a mixed six pack based solely on the fact that it is from a very local brewery. Poured with little expectations a dark, drab, amber with a small but attractive 1 finger head comprised of extra large bubbles. Nose threw me off, roast malt notes mostly but difinitely a btit of fruitiness peeking through the melancholy appearance and scent. Taste is super thick and full, mouthfeel is very buttery and rich...unusual yet well done. Taste is of caramel and evergreens with a long lingering toasty aftertaste that keeps you thinking about this one. A beer to be sipped and enjoyed, definitely demands attention...good job LaConner!

12oz bottle obtained via trade with Skyhand. Thanks for the opportunity...
Poured into an imperial pint glass, formed little more than a layer of bubbles for a head, even with a relatively hard pour. Doesn't so much lace as leave little bubbles everywhere over the murky orange/brown brew. Aroma is upfront alcohol, with some spices sprinkled around the edges, and a bit of sweet malt for a base. Taste is a malty alcohol, with the same spices stubbornly jumping around to catch your attention. Mouthfeel is interesting in that for medium-to-high strength ABV brew, the beer almost feels like some vaporizes as it hits the tongue, not unlike some of the spirit beers. Pleasant effect, and certainly warming of the body. Drinkability is very good, with a high wintertime appreciation, I would think. In front of the fire, ah, that would be great. Course, it's 80F right now, so who needs a fireplace?

12 oz. bottle from 2003. Beautiful opaque dark brown hue with a thick viscous head. Very nice lacing. Strong smell of roasted malts, bittersweet chocolate, with a whiff of fresh hop flowers. Medium bodied.
Taste is first of dark roasted malts, smoked almonds, with a caramel sweetness. Finishes bittersweet with a blackened malt - alcohol dryness.
This brew tastes better closer to room temp than fridg temp. A most excellent old ale. Scores reflect the 2003 bottle.
12 oz. bottle from x-mas 2000 ; Has a roasted malt and caramel smell. A burnt, sweet caramel, toasted dark malt flavor followed by a bittersweet chocolate alcohol tang . Thick, chewy mouthfeel. Finishes dust bowl dry. This aged Tannenbaum reminds me of a kick-ass stout. This brew was worth the four year wait.

12 ounce bottle a friend brought from Washington. Label is a little torn up, but doesn't seem to indicate date, ABV, or anything else useful. Reasonably pretty graphics, though.
Pours a deep reddish/brown color, with a thick creamy beige head, dense, and sticks around for a reasonably long time, but leaves no lacing.
Aroma: cloves, cinnamon, chestnuts, latex.
Taste: creamy roasty, cloves, chestnuts, cinnamon, latex. Distinct latex. Some slight buttery-ness. Crisp hop finish, at least for the style. Moderate warm with alcohol. As it warms towards room temp, some brown sugar/burnt sugar, and caramel come out.
Mouth: slightly thin bodied for the color and other characteristics. Moderate to high carbonation.
Tasty enough, sort of like an imperial brown.
Tolerable, and if someone else was buying I might drink it again, but I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to find it. The latex, while not overpowering, is pretty troubling.

Pours a nice brown with a tan head that looks teriffic. The smell is of smoked almonds and cashews, with noodles dipped in chocolate. The taste is a nutty cashew with hints of roasted coffee, a nice warmer wich will tingle the tastebuds but one of these is always enough, not the best session beer.

Excellent seasonal brew from the local brewery here. Would recommend to anyone that likes a good dark beer. ABV is close to 8% if I remember right.
Appearence: Nice chocolatly body, tan head.
Taste: Nice hop bitterness with a coffee taste, thick and full bodied. Nutty flavors permeate through the hoppiness. Coats the tongue but finishes clean.

Medium brown color. Medium head. Aroma is malty. A medium bodied Christmas Ale. Malts are nutty, fruity and sweet. Hops are spicy and grapefruity. A nice, spiced X-mas beer, brewed in the English Strong Ale tradition. Nicely balanced. Fairly smooth. No alcohol bite. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter

3.55/5 rDev -7.6%
First of all, I learned from the last six pack I got that this beer needs to be very close to room temperature to enjoy at all. Otherwise, all the problems overwhelm you.
Pours from the bottle a clear but dark cola color with virtually no head even when poured very aggressively. The aroma is of spices with a little molasses and alcohol but they seem to be kind of muddled. Tastes of cloves, all spice and molasses and ends with a sweet rum finish. A little coffee is present when it lingers on the palatte that translates into a light bitter linger. It is a very sticky mouthfeel with just a trace of ale leftover.
Tannenbaum has all sorts of problems. It literally looks like a coke gone flat and feels like what coke syrup must feel like when it hasn't been diluted very much. Despite that, I love the flavors that come through and can't help but grab another. I think I'll let the others sit until next winter... It can't get any less carbonated, right?

4.33/5 rDev +12.8%
12 oz bottle given to me for free by a bartender at The Viking.
Poured a dark brown with a medium tan head. Lots of lace.
Smell wasn't that impressive at first. This changed as it warmed up. Piney notes mingled with a caramel sweetness. This is a very balanced beer, with the sharp pineyness peacefully coexisting with a mild sweetness.
The first aspect of the taste of this is the sharp, pine flavor. Then a sweet - but never cloying - caramel flavor arrives to balance out the pine flavor. There's a nice dryness on the finish.
This is somewhere between medium and full bodied. Not as thick as a stout, perhaps, but it's still a substantial beer, best for warming the belly on a winter night.
This is fairly drinkable if one is into winter beers such as OSA or Celebration. For those unacustomed to such beers, the sharp pine flavor might be a little bit much at first. If this is available in my area come next fall, I'd not hesitate to buy a few.

2001 Vintage. Yes!
Poured a light brown with good carbonation. Nose is butterscotch, booze, caramel, cocoa, toffee. Taste is really, really good with butterscotch, cocoa, toffee all blending well. This beer really held up well and surprised me. A very good, drink Strong Ale, even 9 years later!

The next in my re-visitation of LaConners's brews. Poured into 10oz glass. Poured a reddish mahogany color, with just a hint of head that had no retention or lacing.
The aroma was mostly sweet malts. On the tongue those malts were there, along with some spice. The body was a bit thin and drinkability suffered from sweetness and thinness.
When I first encountered this beer almost ten years ago it, along with the rest of the breweries lineup, was very good bordering on excellent. They went down hill and and this brew became sticky, spiced, undrinkable mess. This one now is an improvement, but not what it used to be. At least things are moving in the right direction.

3.2/5 rDev -16.7%
My first observation is the lack of sound Tannenbaum makes when the bottle is cracked. Though my six-pack was acquired at the brewery and presumed fresh, the beer is unusually devoid of fizz. Its color is brown with sensuous claret overtones and has a restrained, cinnamon-malt nose, and routine texture. Tannenbaum tastes of spiced chocolate but is otherwise muted. Its flatness and curtailed flavor were disappointing.

Sampled in a 12oz Bottle in June of 2003
Beer pours deep murky brown with rubyish highlights. Faint traces of a tan head that barely holds the glass.
Nose is heavy caramel and brown sugar with a faint sourness and a leathery touch before a touch of hops end the aroma.
Deep caramel with roasted apples with a touch of granny smith sourness and a piney hop bite in the end palate.

Perhaps you saw video of the final flight of the space shuttle Discovery. The shuttle fleet has been silent for a year now and Discovery was ferried on the back of a 7-47 from Florida to Washington D-C where it will become part of the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum. The piggy-back flight for Discovery is truly the end of an era. But I am reminded that this also marks the end of an economic era in that the Texas economy and Texans in general were all benefactors of the space program. Thousands of jobs in Texas have ended or will be ending as Texas gets short-changed by the Obama administration. There are 3 shuttles in the fleet and they will find permanent homes on the west and east coast but not in Texas. President Obama's decision makers seem to be challenging Texans to replace jobs and grow the economy through our own merits and, quite frankly, I believe we are up for the task. But it does not make the shuttle snub right. Mission Control in Houston has been the fulcrum of NASA for 50 years and politics are seemingly causing this once vibrant giant laboratory to grow close to silent. Texas deserves better. But we won't get it. But we will replace those jobs that have been phased out, we will grow our own economy and we will prosper. Finally, we are left to watch the Chinese develop their space program and we have to catch a ride on Russian rockets – a far cry from the national identity that once was the American space program. We have lost jobs here and we also have a black eye, but we will overcome and it will make for a Better East Texas.

I will be pulling for UF only because they are a Florida school and I absolutely hate Ohio State.But, the team that I think has the biggest beef after watching today's games is that Boise State was robbed.� They were undefeated and are beating a very good OU team.If the system was fair Boise State would be playing Ohio State for the national title.Oh and yeah, Michigan is a joke.Oh and my alma mater, USF, will be a pre-season top 25 team next year after stealing Mike Ford from Alabama last week.� Go Bulls! Mike Ford links:� www.tidesports.com/article/20061228/NEWS/61228012/-1/tagshttp://rivals100.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?Sport=1&pr_key=42920"The 6-2, 220-pounder has been timed at 4.37 seconds in the 40-yard dash. He holds the single-season area rushing record with 2,836 yards, averaging 236 yards per game his senior season (2004), while racking up 37 touchdowns and 222 points. "� Yep, that is right. 37TD's his senior year in 11 games and 2836 yards.� More and more of the local Bay Area studs are going to be staying home to play at USF.� We get to play Lousiville and WVU at Ray Jay next year.� Don't be surprised if USF wins the Big East and is playing in a BCS bowl next year. Grothe will be a sophomore and we just added a real stud to the backfield to help make his job easier.
I could root for the Gators to win the whole thing but that would mean supporting the fan base that is BY FAR the most obnoxious ass clown group of imbreds to ever roam the Earth. I hope Florida loses 77-0, and I've lived in the Tampa Bay area my entire life.
Who cares about Michigan...............FIGHT ON!!!!
Yeah and next Monday Croc fans can also shut up. Michigan played a better team tonight and this is nothing against the Wolverines as USC is a great team and will be the pre-season #1 team next year.

Beauty Coach: Bardot-inspired hair
December 21, 2009 at 11:54 am , by Mandy Hendrix
I was recently at the launch of Phyto's new hair styling products, which were tested by the uber-stylist Andy Lecompte. He's worked with fabulous ladies as Madonna, Selma Hayek and Penelope Cruz, all of whomsport nearly perfect hair. The simple trick he taught me takes about five minutes and gives me full hair with controlled waves. Andy called it the new Brigitte Bardot—a style that looks appropriate for any occasion.
Five simple steps to Brigitte-worthy hair:
- On dry hair, use a small squirt of hair cream to coat strands. This helps calm static, frizz and hold the style. I like Neutrogena Triple Moisture Smooth Shine Anti Frizz Cream.
- Twist hair starting at the nape and pin with a duckbill clip. These ensure that you won't have any dents in your hair–important when you want a smooth style.
- Blow dry hair completely until hair is warm to the touch. The heat is what sets waves and creates volume. Keep the clips in until hair is completely cool.
- Remove clips and fluff hair. You may want to spray with a light working hairspray. My favorite: L'Oreal Elnett.
- Create a small puff at the top of your head for extra volume. Use a small comb for backcombing (gently, please!) and hairspray to hold in place. Use a bobby pin or two to hold hair.

These are cute! And I feel like with the right crafty-thumb, these could be a fun DIY!
Basically it's just one idea, though...
I was just looking into making one of these after getting an email with a really cool pipe and rope one on Restoration Hardware's website.
Ages ago, I watched Todd Oldham makes shelves similar to these on I think - House of Style. He stained the light colored wood with Kool-Aid. I made two sets for my bedroom as a teenager.
Have you seen the shelves on this site. http://designbynumbers.com/my-designs/happy-earth-day/ They are my absolute favorite

The Rutland GE Aviation plants have been awarded an additional $2.6 million for a Navy contract for the development and production of fighter engines for the EA-18G Growler, the office of Sen. Patrick Leahy announced Friday.
The modification is to a previously awarded contract. It comes on the heels of a $5.4 million contract made to GE Rutland last week.
The contract is being divided among several GE plants and totals more than $22 million.
GE Rutland received 12 percent about $2.6 million of the additional work.
Leahy is the most senior member of the Senate Appropriations Committee and its Defense Subcommittee.

Men's Cross Country Team Opens 4th Season
FORT MYERS, Fla. - The Florida Gulf Coast University men's cross country team begins its season in the six-team Saint Leo Invitational Friday night at Little Everglades Ranch in Dade City, Fla.
The Eagles, who finished fourth in this meet in 2004, will race against Florida Tech, Florida Southern, Tampa, Rollins and Saint Leo in the season opener.
Now entering their fourth season of competition, FGCU will run all six regular season meets plus the NCAA Division II South Regional championship meet in the state of Florida, including three races at Little Everglades Ranch in Dade City, the site of the NCAA South Region meet.
The Eagles will return to five of their competition sites from a year ago, running in events at Saint Leo in Dade City (Sept. 2), Embry-Riddle (Sept. 24), the flrunners.com pre-regional meet in Dade City (Sept. 30), the Walt Disney World Invitational (Oct. 8), and at the Stetson Hatter Invitational (Oct. 14). The Eagles also return to the Florida Tech Invitational (Sept. 10), which was postponed due to hurricanes a year ago.
The NCAA Division II regional championship, hosted by Florida Southern College, will be held November 5.
Men's Cross Country Outlook The Eagles head into the season with the highest expectations in the program's history. With an influx of talented newcomers, depth is less of a concern for head coach Chris Highfield, who welcomed 12 runners into pre-season workouts last month, his largest team ever. More importantly, the fourth-year head coach may have the most talented FGCU squad from top to bottom. With only the top five runners earning a team score in a meet, practices have become very competitive.
"We have gotten better every year in terms of talent", said Highfield. "For the first time in our program's history we don't know, surprisingly, who our first five runners are going to be. We really stressed mileage for their summer workouts and we posted our best pre-season time trials in my four seasons."
The Eagles will be without last year's top runner, Edison Vasquez, who opted not to return, but sophomore Mike Harney (North Fort Myers, Fla.) shattered the time trial record by more than a minute and is poised to take the reigns as the team's top runner and challenge the FGCU 8-K record book. A former all-state runner at North Fort Myers High, Harney ran for Cowley Community College in Kansas, which finished third in the National Junior College Athletic Association national championships.
Challenging Harney for the top spot will be junior transfer Scott Poindexter (Tallahassee, Fla.), a two-year track and cross-country runner at the University of West Florida and freshman Grant Berkery (Sarasota, Fla.), who led Sarasota High to a top-10 finish in the state last year in cross country and track.
The Eagles also benefit from the return of three sophomores who were among the top five runners on the team a year ago. Ron Gilles (Naples, Fla.) ran in the second spot all season and posted sub 31-minute times in three of his five 8-K races. Bryan Spiewak (Coral Springs, Fla.) expects to improve on his season-best 31:38 from a year ago, as does Rob Clendening (New Port Richey, Fla.), who ran a season-best 31:19 in 2004.
A pair of junior transfers, Ray Cayo (Lima, Peru) and Ismael Galicia (Naples, Fla.) are in the mix for top five positions. Galicia, who was an All-Collier County runner at Lely High, competed for Warner Southern College the past two seasons. Another junior, Franz Desvallons (Fort Myers, Fla.) begins his first season with the Eagles. True freshman Sean Combs (Naples, Fla.) and Adam Ulrich (Coral Gables, Fla.) provide depth. Highfield hopes the rise in talent and depth leads to the team's first regional appearance.
"We've had good workouts since day one of pre-season and are excited to get started", said Highfield. "We have high expectations and have set high goals for this year's team."

Owner Beast Hook w/ Twistlock - $5.49 to $6.99
The Owner Beast Hook with Twistlocking Centering-Pin Spring are designed for weedless-style rigging of larger plastics like swimbaits, flukes, tubes and creature baits. With its Twistlock Centering-Pin Spring attached to the hook eye, baits can be permanently secured by inserting the pin in the center of the nose of a soft plastic, which can then be screwed onto the Twistlock coil spring to rig perfect everytime! Different size springs are matched to hook size to maximize holding power. Quick-drop shank below eye allows for rigging fat-headed baits, and maximum gap allows for improved hook sets because of better bait clearance. Ideal for both fresh and saltwater fishing, features include a Twistlock Centering-Pin Spring attached to the hook eye, maximum gap, a XXX-strong forged shank, super needle point, and black chrome finish.
Comments: These work great. The twistlock (Screw-in keeper with centering pin) design is second to none. I throw a lot of swim baits like Skinny Dippers & Naked Swimmers, and I typically use the Owner hooks with them the most, to great effect. Caught a 7.5 pounder yesterday with a 6 ought Owner Twistlock hook... Love these.

By RYAN CZACHORSKI
Daily News
---- — STRASBURG — Ronda Schlecte's Stew-Stras Comets have a tendency to start out their sets slow.
It manifested itself in both sets of the Comets' match with Arcola Monday night, which also served as the team's home opener.
Luckily for their coach, the Comets also tend to rebound quickly. That's exactly what they did Monday, cruising to a straight set 25-12, 25-12 victory over the Arcola Purple Riders.
"We're known for that, to start out on a slow note," Schlecte said. "I think probably nerves of the first home game. But they came through, I know they can do it. It's just getting them all to work together and getting the nerves out right away."
Arcola jumped out to a 4-2 lead on the Comets after a pair of kills by Taylor Edwards. It wouldn't last. Before the Purple Ridgers could blink, Stew-Stras uncorked a 9-1 run and took an 11-5 lead with Brittani Tabbert at the service line.
After cutting the lead to five, Arcola would never get closer, giving the Comets a number of free points on spikes into the nets and service errors. With the set on the line, Becca Schlecte had a 4-0 service run and ended the set with back-to-back aces.
The Purple Riders hung around for a bit longer in the second set, taking a 3-2 lead and holding on to it until a 6-6 tie. But again, the Comets started to take over with Schlecte at the service line as she had two more aces in a 9-0 run.
Every Comet in the starting lineup chipped in down the stretch, with kills by Tabbert, Baylee Quast and Lindsay Burton.
The statistics backed it up for the Comets, as nearly everyone contributed in the kill department and every Comet had a dig on the night.
"They've been playing really well together, I've been very pleased with how they've been coming a long as a team," Ronda Schlecte said. "I thought we were a little better tonight as far as helping each other out when there's a shanked ball, picking each other up."
Tabbert led the team with four kills while Schlecte and Burton each had three. Schlecte had four aces and Quast and Tabbert added eight each. Quast also led the Comets with eight assists.
Kendall Knop had a strong game with seven digs and a number of impressive serves, and Schlecte finished second on the team with five digs.
"We have a really strong team this year," Ronda Schlecte said. "It's not just one or two players, it's the whole team. It's a nice thing to have."
Stew-Stras is now 3-0 on the year and 1-0 in the NTC. They resume conference play tonight, traveling to face Beecher City.
Arcola 12 12
Stew-Stras 25 25
Stew-Stras: Schlecte (4 aces, 3 kills, 4 assists, 5 digs); Quast (2 aces, 1 kill, 8 assists, 3 digs); Knop (2 kills, 7 digs); Tabbert (2 aces, 3 kills, 4 digs, 0.5 blocks); Burton (1 ace, 3 kills, 2 digs); Stremming (1 dig, 0.5 blocks); Locke (1 kill, 1 assist, 2 digs)

MLS is one of the more unpredictable leagues in the world. That is partly because of the parity created by the league's roster rules and salary cap and partly the result of a spring to fall schedule that puts the transfer window in the middle of the season, which turns things upside down every summer.
But more than anything, the oddities are a reward to MLS's fans. It takes a very special someone to dedicate himself to a league like MLS and in return he gets to see everything unique, odd, eccentric and unpredictable short of a unicorn scoring from midfield, goring Baldomero Toledo and flying off to the Atlantic Ocean to dump Steven Lenhart in the Bermuda Triangle (unfortunately).
Montreal Impact vs. Sporting Kansas City
Saturday, 1:00 p.m. ET, MLS Live
The Impact's run at a playoff spot in their expansion season was valiant effort and deserves a round of applause. More impressive is that they haven't played a single scoreless match this season. Huzzah! Or however you say that in French.
Pick: Kansas City, 2-1.
New England Revolution vs. New York Red Bulls
Saturday, 7:30 p.m. ET, MLS Live
Is it better to have an owner who doesn't care or an owner who tries so hard that the team suffers? Does it even matter when the result is empty seats and no trophies since 2005 (or ever, in New York's case) regardless? The Revs and Red Bulls have more in common than you think.
Pick: New York, 2-0.
Real Salt Lake vs. Portland Timbers
Saturday, 8:00 p.m. ET, NBC Sports Network
Forced to show the Timbers for the fourth time in three weeks, NBC probably wishes it could pull the fiddly bit from the other fiddly bit and just go dark for two hours.
Pick: Blackout.
Chicago Fire vs. Columbus Crew
Saturday, 8:30 p.m. ET, MLS Live
The Fire's goalkeeper's favorite word is derp, their central midfield has osteoporosis and their leading scorer has six goals and yet here they are in second place. Huh? Exactly.
Pick: Chicago, 2-1.
LA Galaxy vs. Toronto FC
Saturday, 10:30 p.m. ET, MLS Live
The season started with Toronto eliminating LA from the CONCACAF Champions League. I'm serious! The unicorn sounds more believable, doesn't it?
Pick: LA, 3-0.
Seattle Sounders vs. San Jose Earthquakes
Saturday, 10:30 p.m. ET, MLS Live
This is the fourth time that the Western Conference's two best squads square off this season and once again they will not be at full strength. Whichever one of you cursed these two teams and deprived us of these two teams clashing at their best, please step forward so you can be offered as a sacrifice.
A Sounders win will move them within six points of the Quakes with a match in hand and really heat up the race in the West and for the Supporters' Shield. Luckily for them, this match is at CenturyLink Field, where they have not dropped a point since June 20.
Once again, Fredy Montero is at the heart of Seattle's success and he is now up to 16 goals and 10 assists in all competitions this season. If you ask Victor Bernardez about the the Colombian after the match, he probably won't say the word "lazy". Just a hunch.
Pick: Seattle, 2-1.
Philadelphia Union vs. Houston Dynamo
Sunday, 4:00 p.m. ET, MLS Live
Dominic Kinnear and the Dynamo bested by John Hackworth and the Union in the middle of a fierce playoff race would only be the ninth weirdest thing in MLS this season.
Pick: Draw, 1-1.
D.C. United vs. Chivas USA
Sunday, 7:00 p.m. ET, Galavision
Last year, D.C. was as good before Dwayne De Rosario joined them as they were after trading for him. Then this year they had won just one of six matches when De Rosario got hurt and now they have won their two contests since. This is the 10th weirdest thing in MLS this season.
Pick: D.C., 1-0.
Vancouver Whitecaps vs. Colorado Rapids
Sunday, 7:30 p.m. ET, MLS Live
The Whitecaps have lost their last five matches by a combined score of 9-1 and the Rapids have two wins in 15 matches away this year. Something has to give, or so you'd think. This could be the third weirdest thing in MLS this season.
Pick: Vancouver, π-0.

RecycleMania – Purdue University, Lafayette, IN
Capitalizing on the competitive spirit of March Madness, Purdue University held an internal dorm competition complete with brackets to track residence halls' progress! They pitted six dorms against one another for week-long mini-competitions, narrowing the field each week depending on recycling rates.
Purdue worked closely with its grounds department to track recycling rates for each residence. It also had the marketing department create the bold and eye-catching bracket graphic. One challenge was mobilizing the manpower to hang up the updated brackets in each residence.
Another key way that Purdue has raised awareness about RecycleMania is to have Eco-Reps visit lectures and give short presentations about RecycleMania. They targeted large, environmentally-focused classes and were able to speak in front of 2,000 students!

"Argo" (2012)
The Plot: Based on true events, "Argo" chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis—the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades. On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador. Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed, a CIA "exfiltration" specialist named Tony Mendez (Affleck) comes up with a risky plan to get them safely out of the country. A plan so incredible, it could only happen in the movies.

Decided to video my speed bench today. I was wondering what you guys think -- good, bad, too slow, etc...? My max is somewhere between 300 and 315 raw.
EDIT: Almost forgot... I wanted to ask about my reverse band floor press setup... Am I doing this right? I think I might need to choke the bands or something but I just don't know. There is little to no tension at the top.
Last edited by OGROK; 11-25-2009 at 07:04 PM.
the guy in the background was really killing those leg extensions!
Just make sure the reverse bands give out last few inches, so you get all that weight!
That's how I like the reverse bands set-up, no help at the top.
I like to put the bands over the sleeves to stop them getting damaged when racking the bar.
Yeah for the speed you could be a little faster, maybe drop the weight 10 lbs or so for most of your sets- really snap the lock-out.
Squat briefs only 625 @ 210
Bench geared 525 @ 210
Deadlift geared 650 @ 220
Captains of Crush #3
Building Mighty Mitts...
Yeah I think some of these sets were a little slower than the others... I'll try putting the band around the sleeves next time since I did notice that the band would scrape against the j-hooks when I tried to rack it.

- Unlike Juniper, Cisco is migrating away from lower-margin hardware like routers and switches.
- In a space dominated by better-managed companies like Cisco and Ciena, there are still execution risks in Juniper that can't be ignored.
- If the stock should ever fall to, say, $20, then all bets are off. At that point, Juniper is a buy.

Shelton Gibson, a 6', 185 pound wide receiver from Cleveland Heights, Ohio, gives this class an instant impact playmaker to fill the void left by Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey. Gibson, rated 4 stars by Scout.com, chose WVU over Ohio State and Tennessee. He also participated in the 2013 U.S. Army All-American Bowl, and is widely regarded as an electric receiver and return man who should compete for immediate playing time this fall. It's hard to think he will be able to replace Austin or Bailey right away, but the opportunity will certainly be there if he can step on campus in the summer and develop a rapport with Paul Millard, Ford Childress, and/or Chavas Rawlins. Gibson chose WVU late in the process, but has fully embraced his commitment, tweeting anti-Pitt messages and attempting to lure his friend Tyler Boyd to Morgantown. I'm betting he quickly becomes a fan favorite.
Welcome home, Shelton!

Bridging the breakdown of generations
My dad's name is Norman, so of course people called him "Stormin' Norman." And the moniker fit him perfectly, for he was a proud and successful business owner and undisputed head of my four-member household.
Though he could be quite sentimental, generous and affectionate with his "girls," he was mostly stubborn, opinionated, judgmental and foul-mouthed (usually while working in the garage). He was also a very hard worker and had a hard time relaxing, even at the family beach house. He possessed the highest of standards not only for himself but for everyone in his orbit.
He certainly wouldn't tolerate the condition in which he now finds himself: a Parkinson's-induced dementia that leaves him sleepy, incoherent, wheel chair-bound and barely able to chew his own food.
His decline seemed to happen quickly; one day he was able to walk upright and converse intelligently (albeit with some repetition and confusion) and the next day he was confined to his wheel chair and hard to rouse for the visits to which he used to look so forward. Worse, he didn't recognize anyone, even his beloved daughters.
He is being cared for in a local retirement community, and because the staff takes such good care of him, he is for the most part healthy and oddly content. My sister and I are fortunate to be able to see him on a regular basis.
I try to visit once a week, but sometimes I let life make excuses for me: I have to go to the gym, the baby is cranky, it's too hot outside and plus, it's almost lunch time. I do this because seeing him chips giant splinters from the wood of my heart, splinters that proceed to imbed themselves in my vital organs and cause great pain from time to time.
But I go, because I like to see his face, to remind myself that he is still here with me.
When dad is awake, he might mutter a greeting or ask a question that sounds like "What have you been up to?" I sit on the air-filled bed next to him and launch into a long and detailed monologue about my family's activities. I emphasize the accomplishments for him, out of habit.
I make a point to tell him how nice he looks, for he always took care with his appearance. "You really are a handsome devil," he'd say to his reflection. When his eyes happen to be open, I tell him how blue they are. He sometimes grins at the compliment.
My husband will offer to accompany me on my visits, but my two older children (ages 11 and 8) don't like going anymore. In his better days, my dad always insisted on a firm handshake with eye contact from them. He'd ask them about school and sports and how tall they were. They'd raid his stash of Werther's Originals and peanut butter crackers, and the nurses would bring them ginger ales. We'd make a morning out of it.
I don't blame them for not wanting to see their "pee-paw" in such a state. But my 19-month-old hasn't learned to protest visiting yet. In fact, she loves everything about the place – the fountain in the foyer, the cockatiel Jerry in the lobby, the endless, carpeted hallways, the elevator, the adoring residents and staff.
She even finds my dad somewhat amusing. She squeals and points when she sees him and tries to climb his wheelchair like it's a jungle gym. The juxtaposition between them is staggering; my 80-year-old dad dozes in his wheelchair as my toddler scampers from the floor-length mirror in the bathroom to the ultimate La-Z-Boy in the corner.
She periodically stands before my dad in confusion and waves frantically, as if to elicit a response from him, so I place her on his lap. And while I'm fumbling with my phone to take some photos before the girl takes a serious tumble, I see that my dad's hands have a firm grip on her. He's actually holding her – his granddaughter – and they both start to jibber and jabber like old friends.
I snap about 20 photos. And I realize that there is still life and love in my dad; Stormin' Norman – with his firm grip – is in there somewhere, even yet.
What I wouldn't give to hear a cuss word or two from his mouth. But I am grateful for his beating heart, his steadfast courage and dignity, his bright blue eyes, which every once in a while I have the privilege to see.

|City schools feverishly 'Race to the Top'
|Thursday, February 07, 2013 2:29 PM
Jefferson High School's Principal John Edinger said Phase III of Race to the Top primarily deals with Ohio Teacher/Principal Evaluation Systems (OTES), which are common core standards measuring education effectiveness, including student growth and educator observations.
The $4.35 billion Race to the Top Fund is an unprecedented federal investment in reform and includes $4 billion for statewide reform grants and $350 million to support states working together to improve the quality of their assessments and lead the way in comprehensive, coherent, statewide education reform.
Ohio began development of its OTES prior to receipt of its Race to the Top grant in 2010. The OTES includes a self-assessment against the Ohio Standards for the Teaching Profession, analysis of student data, multiple formal observations, formative assessments, collection of evidence/artifacts and perception data, student growth data, a written cumulative evaluation and an improvement plan.
Principal evaluations are measured by student performance data derived from attendance records, graduation rates, the number of suspensions and expulsions, the percentage of students in Advanced Placement (AP) classes and personal performance rubrics based on state standards.
To ensure teachers the best possible resources inside and outside the classroom, Delphos City Schools have adopted Thinkgate as their IIS (Instructional Improvement System). Thinkgate is a web-based tool designed with customizable components called Elements, which integrates data and resources composed of five areas, including Assessment, Instructional, Learning and Strategic Management Systems and Student Informational Systems. The system will expedite staff collaboration, allowing improvement of each teacher's skill-set. In addition, each student will have equal access to high-quality learning materials inside and outside of class, be challenged to demonstrate learning before transitioning to new material and know where he or she stands in a given subject based on performance data.
"The community needs to learn more about the system," Edinger stressed. "It is important they understand the rigor of the new curriculum; it will build stronger, college-ready students."
Edinger and his staff are currently working on completing a succession of three webinars to learn about Thinkgate. The first session was an introduction and overview of the program, the second was a "live" hour-long training on multi-functional users and the third will focus on curriculum, instruction and resources.
"Our priority is professional development," Edinger emphasized. "Even when faced with daily challenges and uncontrollable variables, we are always focused on improving the classroom environment and reaching each student."

Life After Death
Jul 11th, 2013 by Alana
We know where she has gone even though we have forgotten the place from where we came.
In her final days she spoke to her brother, long since on the other side. Was she young and innocent again, free of the early sadness that stained her?
Every death is personal for those left behind. Our memories are unique, wholly our own. If there were more good times than bad, it will hurt. And if there were more bad times than good, it will hurt. Is that our challenge when they leave this life, to let go, to dwell upon the wins and not the losses?
Cherish the small moments that demonstrate a person's uniqueness and love. I remember her in a sun-filled kitchen cooking biscuits, eggs and gravy in a cast iron frying pan. She woke up a day before she passed and asked for eggs and bacon. Was she remembering too?
She has returned to the place from where she came. She is young and innocent again, embraced by pure light and gracious love. We all return here and it is beautiful and sweet like a fresh dawn.

Library Interior First Floor Elevators
The World > North America > USA
The Albin O. Kuhn Library isn't just a striking sight from the outside, the interior is beautifully designed to allow natural light to splash through, even on the first floor with its fewer windows. Our new leisure reading section is set off for peaceful reading between classes in the most comfortably deep seats on campus. Try not to doze off as you read that classic!

The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.
