Transforming Churches With Artful, Soulful, Intellectually Satisfying Liturgical Elements

Click here to:
The progressive Christian movement started by deconstructing the dominant paradigm of the faith in America, taking apart its patriarchy, literalism, and chauvinism. But in the last few years, our movement has turned in a positive direction.
We've begun to construct a new model of Christianity that is compatible with deep spirituality, religious pluralism, sound science, good common sense, compassion for the needs of humanity, inclusion of all people, and respect for the environment.
We hope you'll join us on the "ground floor" of the major addition to the new edifice of Christianity that the Liturgy Project represents!
To submit liturgy to be used, please email Polly.

Tried this in a 22 oz bomber, the last one apparently at our local TotalWine. No date on bottle. The appearance is an attractive clear red orange without sediment. Aroma of floral hops, vanilla, but little else evident. Surprisingly little complexity in the flavor profile also with hop bitterness, some malt but no real fruit or other tastes to extend the interest. Vanilla again with a burning hop bitterness and some pepper late. The mouthfeel is thinner than optimal with no piney, resiny character. Overall I expected more from the makers of Lenny's RIPA which is one of my favorites. Perhaps this is an older bottle as they are apparently discontinuing this ale?

Thanks to Cavie for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours an orange color with a white head. The aroma is fairly straightforward, with some nice tropical fruit notes and some bread from the malt. The flavor is a lot more complex. I get some nice grapefruit and orange notes up front, with some pineapple coming through a little bit later. I also get some grass and swe floral and perfume notes from the hops, as well as a little bit of candy sweetness. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Cloudy orange color, filmy head. Smells like iced tea which to me usually indicates its old, shit. Taste is mostly malts, no hops. I suspected when I got home that this was broken out of the holiday pack and resold. Dammit. I guess this is what I get for buying an undated IPA. Drainpour...

Amber blonde with a creamy, lumpy ivory head that leaves pretty lace on the glass. Classic C-hop aroma with a strong blast of Munich malt grain. A strange brew to my taste buds but not bad, powerful malty brew with nice aromatic hop flavor that would lend itself to a less aggessive malt backbone IMO. Full bodied with creamy carbonation. A near miss for me but enjoyable in an unusaul beer kind of way.

12oz bottle, pours tangerine with a thin, white head that dissipates rather quickly but does leave some lace on the glass. Aromas are very pleasant, consisting of mango, pineapple, and floral hops. Tastes are just pungent with an abundance of up-front hops, grapefruit, mango, pine, that all punish the palate and don't let much of the malt character through. Mouth-feel is thin to medium with sharp astringency that finishes completely bitter. Overall, this was not in balance at all. The aroma was the best part of this one. It wasn't the worst IPA ever by any means, but I wouldn't recommend picking this up.

Review from notes at World of Beer - Fort Myers on 11/20/11.
Poured on draft into a shaker pint.
Appearance: Pours a hazy golden caramel with a 1-2 finger thick snow white head. Excellent lacing.
Smell: Sweet citrus with a touch of lemon and lightly sweet malt.
Taste: Sweet citrus and lemon peel up front followed by pale malt in the middle before ending with nice fruity hops at the finish. Aftertaste is bittersweet and light.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with good carbonation.
Drinkability: High drinkability. You could have a few without much difficulty.
Overall: Good beer overall. A very solid IPA that is worth trying.

3.48/5 rDev -2.2%
12 oz. bottle purchased locally as a single. No date on bottle. Poured into Duvel tulip glass.
A: Quite cloudy dark amber, with very short foam that drops quickly and leaves a ring and surface slick of off-white bubbles.
S: Sweet caramel & fruit; floral; resinous pine;
T: Mostly sweet caramel at first; grassy w/ pepper & some very slight citrus fruit; long build of moderate bitterness, especially in the throat; alcohol is well masked.
M: Medium body and low carbonation; slick, resinous feel; slight heat; neutral finish.
O: This is quite likely well past its prime. Sweet malt and bitter hops prevail. Simple. I'll be interested to try a more recent batch.

Picked up a couple singles at 1.99 a piece to try this brewery out. Dry hopped with Cascade and Centennial hops, 65 IBUs. Poured into my snifter.
The brew appears a light-medium copper hue. Slightly on the orange-red side of the spectrum, under a good cap of froath which retains well. Good lacing, the kind with lots of bubbles. The lace looks like swiss cheese.
The nose: Pineapple, Mango, ripe melons, hint of orange, peachy, wild flowers. This nose is packing a big punch of many different aromas..I can't even concentrate on one because each sniff something else is bringing something new. Grapefruit just hit me, with pine/herb notes.
Taste: The flavors certainly follow the nose with pineapple/mango dominating the start, which instantly mellows out mid-way with a clash of Vienna and Munich malts. Ends with a pleasant taste of grapefruit, grass, and wild flowers. Very bright flavors, very tasty.
Mouthfeel is creamy, coats the palate and is medium bodied. I don't see any carbonation rising..which is why it is so smooth. However I would not mind a bit more of a bite.
Overall this is a good brew I'd recommend to someone who likes their sweet fruit. Cantolopes just hit me. I am enjoying this and wouldn't mind grabbing a 6 to put back if I saw one. A bottled on date would be nice but I doubt this is much older than 1-2 months. The aromas and flavors are completly vibrant and pungent.

TEMP: Cellared @ approx 45 degrees
This was picked-up last week in St. Louis, by my buddy Jacob, as part of the He'Brew Holiday Gift Pack. It seems that Half of the beers in this set are 'retired'. Hmmm...not really sure what to think of that.
Anyway...big thanks to Jacob!
This pours darker than I'd expected. It's like a lightly brown tinted orange color. The head of off-white colored foam is fluffy and almost a fingers worth in height. The retention is good and the lacing is in thick, clingy strands.
Some caramel coated tropical fruit notes, along with mild hints of pine. Malty sweetness and pineapples. Peppery spice notes.
This smells more sweet then hoppy, which is how I like them, personally.
It drinks much more balanced than anticipated. There is a definite maltiness here, with hints of toffee and caramels. Then you get a decent showing of both tropical and citrus fruits. Finally, you finish with some good notes of pine tar bitterness.
This one is medium-bodied with a light-to-medium level of carbonation. It is smooth and crisp, yet has a slight bit of creaminess to it.
This is one that I'd gladly drink again. Unfortunately, it seems as though I may not get that chance....

AFC Spring Round Up
BALTIMORE: Making a splash for the Ravens last season was wide receiver MARK CLAYTON. The former Oklahoma
Sooner posted a club rookie-record 44 receptions and relishes playing beside veteran receiver DERRICK MASON. ââ∠âHeâââ‰â¢s
so intelligent and smart,âââ¬Ã says Clayton. ââ∠âBeing around him and watching him go through a season was a learning
experience.âââ¬ÃÂâââ¬Ã¦Ã¢â⠬æDefensively, Baltimore will continue to employ varying looks. ââ∠âWe still want to play multiple fronts,âââ¬Ã says
defensive coordinator REX RYAN. ââ∠âEveryone wants to target you. âââ¬ÃÅAre you a 4-3 or 3-4?âââ‰â¢ Weâââ‰â¢re just multiple.âââ¬ÃÂ
BUFFALO: The Bills enter a new era under the leadership of general manager and Pro Football Hall of Famer MARV
LEVY and head coach DICK JAURON. Levy rejoins the Bills after leading Buffalo to four consecutive AFC
championships (1990-93) as the teamâââ‰â¢s head coachâââ¬Ã¦Ã¢ââ¬Ã¦Jauron, a former first-team running back at Yale in 1972, was
recently named to the 2006 Division I-A ballot of induction into the College Football Hall of Fame. The new class is
announced on May 16. Jauron, a three-time All-Ivy League selection, is Yaleâââ‰â¢s all-time leading rusher with 2,947 yards.
CINCINNATI: The Bengals aim for consecutive division championships this season for the first time in franchise
historyâââ¬Ã¦Ã¢ââ¬Ã¦Head coach MARVIN LEWIS recently became the coachesâââ‰â¢ subcommittee representative on the NFLâââ‰â¢s
Competition Committee. The appointment makes him a non-voting member of the Competition Committee. Lewisâââ‰â¢
regular season record of 27-21 (.563) is the highest winning percentage posted by a Bengals coach. Pro Football Hall of
Famer and former Bengals head coach FORREST GREGG (32-25) holds the next-best ledger at .561.
CLEVELAND: Following the famous adage from ââ∠âThe Wizard of Ozâââ¬Ã that ââ∠âThereâââ‰â¢s no place like home,âââ¬Ã four key
Cleveland free-agent acquisitions have returned to their hometown âââ‰â¬Å center LE CHARLES BENTLEY, center-guard BOB
HALLEN, receiver JOE JUREVICIUS and punter DAVE ZASTUDIL âââ‰â¬Å to sign long-term contracts. ââ∠âI canâââ‰â¢t explain how
excited I am right now,âââ¬Ã said Bentley upon signing with the Browns. ââ∠âItâââ‰â¢s a dream come true.âââ¬ÃÂâââ¬Ã¦Ã¢ââ¬Ã¦ Running back REUBEN
DROUGHNS (1,232) can be the first Brown to post consecutive 1,200-yard rushing seasons since Hall of Famer LEROY

ranking since head coach MIKE SHANAHAN arrived 11 seasons ago (1995).

teamâââ‰â¢s fifth and their first with a 4-3 primary defense, instituted by new defensive coordinator RICHARD SMITH. He joins
Houston from Miami where the Dolphins ranked second in the NFL with 49 sacks last year.
INDIANAPOLIS: The Colts recently acquired through free agency arguably the most dependable pressure kicker in the
NFL in ADAM VINATIERI. A 10-year veteran of the New England Patriots who honed his Pro Bowl skills in NFL Europe,
Vinatieri brings his history of success under pressure âââ‰â¬Å two Super Bowl-winning field goals, two divisional-playoff gamewinners,
and a record-tying five FGs in the 2003 AFC Championship âââ‰â¬Å to a longtime Patriots rival. ââ∠âThere will always be a
special place in my heart for the New England Patriots,âââ¬Ã says Vinatieri. ââ∠âIâââ‰â¢ll miss that. But I want to make some history

Colts have won 10 or more games in four consecutive seasons.
JACKSONVILLE: Defensive end PAUL SPICER, receiver ERNEST WILFORD, and conditioning coach MARK

Asanovich. ââ∠âThey want to know how we train. The NFL is big over there.âââ¬ÃÂâââ¬Ã¦Ã¢ââ¬Ã ¦TONY BOSELLI, the Jaguarsâââ‰â¢ first draft
choice prior to their inaugural 1995 season, will become the first player inducted into the teamâââ‰â¢s ââ∠âRing of Honorâââ¬Ã at
ALLTEL Stadium. Boselli, one of the top tackles in the NFL during his career, will be honored at a home game this fall.

JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) - An Arizona man who pleaded guilty to struggling with an officer who was arresting him in Wyoming has been ordered to apologize.
Ronald Patrick Wear was arrested in June after reports of domestic violence in downtown Jackson. He was accused of shoving an officer who was trying to arrest him, grabbing his finger and bending it sideways. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor interference and breach of peace.
The Jackson Hole News and Guide reports that in a written order last month, 9th Circuit Judge James Radda sentenced Wear to serve six months of unsupervised probation and pay $880 in fines and court fees. A 180-day jail sentence was suspended.
As a condition of his probation, Wear must write a letter apologizing to the officer.
It's not know where Wear is from in Arizona.

Philosophy of Taste - Think, Drink & Be Merry
At the Wine Rack
Last week Diageo hosted a tasting of their Guatemalan rum Ron Zacapa 23 to a large turnout at Bin 26 Wine bar in the Devon House Courtyard. Healthy discussion and debate ensued around the topic of how this Zacapa 23 tasted in comparison to fine aged rums produced locally and in the rest of the Caribbean.
I had just recently read documents on the philosophy of wine, including some of the papers presented in the book titled "Wine and Philosophy - a symposium on Thinking and Drinking", so I posed a few questions that were inspired by these papers.
Questions of Taste
In the days of Socrates and Plato, the symposium was a central part of Greek culture. The Greek word sympotien literally means ' to drink together'. The Greeks did not drink wine during dinner, but rather after - the symposium where the great thinkers gathered to drink wine and discuss the issues of the day. These debates and deep discussions laid the foundation of what would become western culture.
Fast-forward to modern wine and rum tastings, we are still debating matters of taste and forming our own options that will lead to lifelong beliefs. As I sipped the Zacapa 23 I asked some philosophical questions while the Diageo reps told the Zacapa story to patrons as they tasted the rum:
— Does knowledge about the rum or wine make it taste better?
— Do the expert and the novice drinker have the same enjoyment and experience while consuming the product?
Does our enjoyment of the rum increase after they tell us that the Zacapa Rums are made using the concentrated first-pressing sugar cane juice-called "virgin sugar cane honey" by the company-and is aged and blended using the solera method traditionally used for sherries? They go on to explain that this process is overseen by female master blender Lorena Vazquez. (There are only three female master blenders in the world, and Jamaican Joy Spence of Appleton is one.) The company claims that part of their success lies in the fact that the barrels are stored 2,300 metres (7,500 ft) above sea level in an aging facility situated below the upper slopes of the mountains and volcanoes of Guatemala, where the temperature is an average of 62 degrees Fahrenheit (17 degrees Celsius).
Questions to ponder
— Is all intoxication the same? Is "wine drunk" the same as " red rum drunk" or " white rum drunk" ? — What about being naturally high off of fun and laughter with family and friends?
— An important question for those in the business of wine and spirits sales and marketing - Is the taste of a rum or a wine just an immediate and maybe incommunicable experience?
— Which leads to my final question: Can you rely on so-called expert tasters to tell us what the characteristics of the wines or these fine rums really are?
Here are Zacapa's notes for the Zacapa 23, you taste and make the comparison:
Colour: Dark Mahogany.
Body: Dense, with marvellous complexities of aroma and flavour; thick legs that fall slowly.
Nose: Great intensity, sweet with notes of wood. Sweet fruitiness, vanilla, almond, chocolate, toasted wood and delicate hints of spice.
Taste: Dense and exceptionally balanced, very long aftertaste.
Finish: Attractive and evocative. Elegant and noble.
Drink Responsibly.

Since I gave you all of the pre-party details, I thought I'd take you behind the scenes of the sweet soirée. Here's my post-party thoughts, as well as a closer look at the party. Enjoy! Pre-Party What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Flowers await arranging. Pick up disposable containers to transport food. I got these box cake carriers at Mollie Stones — a local grocery store — for free. The boxes carried the sandwiches to the party and were thrown away after. 1 / 11 Pre-Party What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Planning ahead is the key to any successful party. I made the pesto and horseradish mayonnaise the night before the party. I also chopped the vegetables for the shrimp salad. To keep organized, label everything with post-it notes. 2 / 11 At The Party What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Arrive early to ensure you find a space at the bar. We pushed two tables together to create a buffet for the snacks. The sandwiches are placed on clear plastic serving trays. I also brought the candles and flowers. Starting from the left and moving to the right, the sandwiches are flank steak with horseradish mayonnaise, arugula, and shaved parmesan; sun dried tomato pesto and brie; and shrimp salad with green onions and red peppers. 3 / 11 At The Party What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For a beautiful floral arrangement my sister and I filled small, square, clear vases with purple tulips. Since we didn't have enough flowers to fill each vase and the flowers were falling all over the place, we used small white elastic bands to hold the bunch together. A large green tulip leaf was wrapped around the bunch to cover the elastic. 4 / 11 At The Party What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 On another table we set up the lemon cheesecake bites and gruyere thyme crackers. 6 / 11 At The Party What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Rye specializes in cool cocktails. On the left is FabSugar's Old Cuban and on the right is my basil gimlet. In the background you can see a small plastic bowl filled with purple M&Ms. 6 / 11 At The Party What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Guests mingled in the space chatting, eating, and drinking. 7 / 11 Post-Party Thoughts What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Instead of filling the vases with flowers and water before the party, I will just arrange the flowers and fill with water once I arrive at the party location. The water kept sloshing around on my sister — who was carrying the flowers — on the car ride over. 8 / 11 Post-Party Thoughts What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Next time I will make more of these sun dried tomato pesto and brie sandwiches. They were the only vegetarian sandwich I made and were gone quickly. Some of my vegetarian friends didn't get there until after all of the sandwiches were eaten. 9 / 11 Post-Party Thoughts What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When I make the gruyere thyme crackers again, I will bake them longer for a crispier cracker. 11 / 11 Post-Party Thoughts What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In the future, when I host parties at bars, I will make arrangement to pick up the vases and candles the following day. After my guests had left, random bar goers sat down at some of the tables that were decorated with my flowers and candles. That was fine, but I didn't feel comfortable taking them off the table while people were enjoying them. Luckily Aaron the bartender had my back and said he would hold them until the following day. 11 / 11 0 0 0 0 0 Read More My Half BirthdaySlideshowParty TipsEvent CoveragePartySugar Behind The BashTips Tips Why Exercise Is Good For Your Skin (Not Just Your Bod) 7/09 5 Easy Tips For Preventing Ingrown Hairs 6/20 Say Freeze!

The Cooperstown Hawkeyes are still trying to find homes for players before the start of the team's inaugural season in early June.
David Pearlman, the team's Assistant General Manager for Operations, is searching for additional families with a little extra room in the house who would be willing to host a player during the two-month season.
``You could have a young man staying with you who's going to end up playing Major League Baseball,'' Pearlman said.
Forty-two players from the 14-team New York Collegiate Baseball League were chosen in the Major League Baseball draft 2009, Pearlman said, adding that Boston Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek played in the league and still keeps in touch with the family who hosted him. He said Phillies pitcher Brad Lidge is another player who played in the NYCBL.
``Cooperstown is unlike any other place in the baseball world. These kids love the idea of coming here, they want to come to Cooperstown,'' he said.
Lynne and Kai Mebust and their three sons, ages 10, 12 and 14 have signed on to host a player this summer.
``We're a baseball family, we have three sons and we have extra space,'' Lynne said Tuesday afternoon. ``We want to help welcome the team to the community.''
Lynne said her family is excited about the new local team and had planned to attend the games. Having a player staying with them will offer added incentive to be at the games and help them feel more connected to the team.
She said she hopes other families in the community will also consider having a player stay with them. Pearlman said that player hosts will receive a $200 stipend to help offset costs they might incur feeding and housing a ball player. They will also receive a free family season pass to all the Hawkeye home games at Doubleday Field.
Hosts will not have to worry about transportation. Many players have their own car and the team will be responsible for transportation.
The team will also be in charge of laundering uniforms.
``The players just need a bed _ not even a whole room,'' Pearlman said.
``These are all good kids.
We have a code of conduct that is strictly enforced _ no alcohol and no tobacco.
We expect them to be role models.''
``It's a way to get involved with a good kid who wants to be a Major League player,'' added team president Tom Hickey.
Host families don't have to live in the village. Pearlman said they would be happy to have people who reside in Fly Creek, Hartwick, Middlefield or Milford.
Basically, people living in the Cooperstown or Milford school districts _ anyone within a 15 to 20 minute drive of Cooperstown, he said.
If homes can't be found for the players, some of them may end up in Oneonta at a Hartwick College dormitory.
That would be added expense for the team and driving time for the players, but more importantly it would mean the players would not be integrated into the community the way we would like them to be, Pearlman explained.
``We don't want to sound like we're pleading, but asking the community to support Cooperstown's team. We're trying to make this something the village can be proud of,'' he said. ``We think this is a great opportunity that makes Doubleday Field not just a tourist attraction. It can finally be where our home team plays.''
Anyone interested in hosting a player may contact Pearlman at 547-4186, or email email@example.com. To learn more about the team, go to the website www.cooperstown-hawkeyes.com.

The two-part event was presented by The Mexican Open Committee, a nonprofit organization. Yolo Hospice, the main beneficiary, has received more than $54,000 to date. Six college-bound high-school students received $5,000 combined for the past five years.
The committee hired an exceptional mariachi and an award-winning Mexican folkloric dance troupe. The food subcommittee prepared delicious Mexican and American dishes. The raffle was another popular feature, with many winners. Several prizes were donated by local businesses and private individuals.
This year's event completed a decade in supporting the local community. Last year, The San Francisco 49ers invited the committee's president to an awards banquet and announced him winner of a $1,000 prize for great work of contributing to his community. The check was accepted on behalf of the Mexican Open Committee by its president at a home game. Also in attendance were other committee members, relatives and close friends.
The Mexican Open Committee was founded by its president, Tony Cueva, in 2002 when he retired from the Fairfield brewery. The continual success of this nonprofit organization is because of the dedicated support and efforts of committee members: Former co-workers and friends, including the Cueva, Ozuna, Ruedas and Martinez families (original committee members). The primary force has been the inspirational and tenacious leadership of its president, a decorated Marine Corps Vietnam veteran.
We're all looking forward to next year's event on Sept. 14 at Paradise Valley Golf Course in Fairfield and the Ulatis Community Center in Vacaville.

Vulture communes with Jack Bauer's daughter as she has a mountain-lion moment and concludes our Micro Oral History Week, fittingly, with Happy Endings.
The steamy late-night serial gave us Christina Hendricks and Adam Brody, but its writers also have a story to tell. Roland Joffé, Damon Lindelof, and others relive their time on the show.
The 1992 video for the pro-posterior paean spawned controversy and many, many buttocks-centric visual puns. Here's the true story of how it was made.
Tori Spelling, Jason Priestley, and writer Larry Mollin explain why it took her seven seasons to give it up.
Adam Scott and others tell the story behind Ben Wyatt's obsessive homage to the board game The Settlers of Catan.
Alicia Silverstone, Amy Heckerling, Breckin Meyer, and others remember the "pretty random fiesta" with a Coolio track on the playlist.
Will Ferrell, Adam McKay, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, and others reflect on the iconic scene that "escalated quickly" and "really got out of hand, fast."
Alan Ball, Lauren Ambrose, Michael C. Hall, and others reminisce about one of TV's best finishes.
This is the origin story of Jonathan, Warren, and Andrew, as told by Buffy actors and writers.
To kick off Vulture's Micro Oral Histories Week, we look back at the time Kristen Johnston committed the ultimate party foul.

Second-string quarterback, second-string running back (technically), half of a second-string offensive line, and a receiving corps that forgets how to catch. Oh, and your most consistently strong linebacker and explosive punt returner are also hurt. You don't win many games like this.
This season is stupid. Not sure what else to say. The coaches made some decisions I didn't like, but you just can't lose this many key players and expect to win. Mizzou came close tonight but didn't.

Boxscore PDF
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The University of Tennessee at Martin soccer team wasted little time on the evening to break into the scoring column for the first time this season, as goals by Abi Sanvee and Aoife Lennon elevate the Skyhawks to the 2-0 victory at Lipscomb.
The Skyhawks (1-2-1) relied on goals by senior Abi Sanvee in the 10th minute while freshman Aoife Lennon would later find the back of the net in the 29th minute to secure the victory. Fellow freshman Ellie Myrick would be credited with an assist on Sanvee's goal. UT Martin was led in the shot column by Dominika Conc with four, while Hannah McGowen and Lennon each tallied three shots of their own.
Tonight's result marked as the 10th career shutout for Mariah Klenke, moving the junior into a tie for the all-time UT Martin shutout record. Notching her second shutout of the season, Klenke registered three saves on the evening.
Lennon nearly got the evening started off with a bang early, tallying the first shot of the evening which deflected off the post in the fourth minute.
Action would soon pick up as the Skyhawks scored their first goal of the young season off of a corner kick by Myrick to Sanvee. With a well-placed ball off the foot of Myrick, Sanvee used a header to break into the score column at the 9:29 mark.
Lipscomb would then issue two consecutive shots over the span of three minutes, but Klenke would tally her first save of the night at the 12:18 mark.
The Skyhawks would continue their aggressive pace in the 29th minute as Lennon picked up a deflection six yards out, rifling a shot into the right corner of the net to tally the freshman's first career goal.
UT Martin would exchange shot attempts throughout the remainder of the first period, taking a 7-2 advantage in the shot column into the intermission.
Lipscomb would open the second period with a shot on goal at the 47:30 mark, but Klenke would register her second save of the evening.
Conc would get involved in the action, registering two consecutive shots on goal over the course of two minutes. Conc would register a game-high four shots on goal.
McGowen fired the Skyhawks final shot on goal at the 74:10 mark, but Lipscomb's Anna Buhigas would pick up her fourth save of the night.
Lipscomb final attempt at goal came at the 89:06 mark, but Klenke quickly wrangled the ball for her third and final save of the evening, cementing the shutout.
UT Martin will continue their four-game road trip with a visit to Denver, Colo. to play in the Denver Invitational at CIBER Field. The Skyhawks will open the tournament on Friday, Sept. 6 when they play host Denver (4-0) at 8 p.m. CST before shifting their focus to Big 12 member Colorado (4-0) on Sunday, Sept. 8 at noon CST.

Happy Friday everyone! We know how much you love modern design, and we can only imagine that you love dogs as much as we do. So, we decided to share a combination of both today!
We're a little blown away by this cool living room, with its unique lighting and rad furniture. But check out that pup! You can just tell, the sofa is his and the owners better find other seating.

This pretty pup goes perfectly with the neutral, modern home in Canada. And he knows better than to get on those white sofas! We just love the mix of woods, whites and neutrals here.

Who's going to Palm Springs this weekend?! That's where this cool pad is located. This pup is allowed on the furniture, but at least he's a tiny guy.

If you want a dog, but maybe you can't have one because you rent, then don't worry. There's plenty of ways to incorporate cute animals into your decor, like with wall art and printed accent pillows.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone! Ruff, ruff!

Storage and organization shouldn't be mutually exclusive concepts. In fact, when space is at a premium (we're looking at you studio apartment, loft, dorm, starter home) the key to maximizing space is finding storage in places where it wasn't before. Here are a few tips:
Image from Style at Home
Placed along the hall, behind the sofa or as a shallow desk in tight spaces, console tables with drawers are a perfect receptacle for unsightly clutter. Keep it simple by designating a specific purpose for each drawer...and stick to the system.
Image from April & May Studio
High shelves are an absolute must above fridges, bathroom vanities, doorways and in closets. By extending your shelving to the ceiling, you'll gain critical storage space for those seldom used items around the house.

Maximize what floor and surface space you have by getting rid of table and floor lamps and replace them with hanging pendant lights (such as the one in the room pictured at the top of this post). There are tons of looks, from antiqued industrial to sleek contemporary glass designs on the market these days.
Okay, we admit, this last one wasn't necessarily a storage tip, but it's a space-saver nonetheless.

You've probably heard it a million times, but the way you design your office space really does have an impact on how you work. You decide whether it's a positive or negative impact by how functional and how much the style agrees with your personality.
We decided to help you out and feature one office that we think is pretty cool, and in case you agree, we're providing a little blueprint so you can get a similar look at your home.
The designer used space very well, while at the same time keeping the design minimal, and uncluttered. For example, instead of using up desk space for a task lamp, hanging pendant lights are a great option. Consequently, the modern desk has a good amount of surface space, plus storage!
This white pendant light is the perfect addition to any modern space where you want to save surface area.
Flowers brighten the vibe in any room, and bonus these are faux so no stress involved!
This desk is sturdy, modern and best of all, it has lots of storage so the surface can stay clean.
You don't need to choose an office chair if you want something a little more stylish, this dining room chair would work perfectly and look great too.
Remember to keep a picture frame with the ones you love nearby to help motivate your work.

Arc lamps look great in modern living rooms, there's no question about that. However, the dining room is an unexpected room where designer floor lamps, specifically arc lamps look great!
This cool loft home above features an arc lamp which functions as great lighting of course, but also contributes to the mid-century style of the dining room.
While this space above is a bit more contemporary than the first image, there is still an undertone of mid-century style, which makes this marble-base arc lamp a perfect choice.
Floor lamps are great in the dining room for when you don't want to disturb your ceiling. If you have gorgeous wood ceilings like this space above, no need to drill a hole and install an electrical system, just plug in a handsome floor lamp!

Here's a few ideas for stylish arc floor lamps from Euro Style Lighting, but there's lots more where those came from!

If you think living in New York means tight spaces and high rents, you're right. But this innovative apartment takes it to another level. Somehow, the builders were able to fit a kitchen, bathroom, loft bedroom, home office and storage in this 500 sq ft space!
The key to this smart design is using vertical space. There is a built-in wooden core that holds the kitchen and bedroom spaces.
Modern wall sconces and clean modern furniture help conserve space. The stairs leading up to the loft bedroom contain a storage drawer in each stair. No space was left unused.
This innovative interior design allows the small apartment to function like a much larger space in a very small footprint.

ODU to Hold Three Commencement Ceremonies Over Two Days
A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, a local business leader and a Fortune 500 executive will be the speakers for Old Dominion University's 116th commencement exercises on Friday, May 4, and Saturday, May 5.
For the first time, commencement is being split into three ceremonies over two days, with the College of Arts and Letters - the largest graduating class - conducting its exercises at 7 p.m. Friday, May 4. On Saturday, May 5, there will be a 9 a.m. commencement for graduates of the Frank Batten College of Engineering and Technology, the College of Health Sciences and the College of Sciences. A 2 p.m. commencement will be held on Saturday for graduates of the Darden College of Education and the College of Business and Public Administration.
All of the ceremonies will take place at the Ted Constant Convocation Center.
"This schedule change comes as a result of the growth of the university and the Office of University Events' ongoing efforts to improve the commencement experience," said ODU Provost Carol Simpson. "We believe the new format will provide students better opportunities to share their special day with more of their loved ones and faculty."
Les Payne, a reporter and former columnist for Newsday, will speak to graduates of the College of Arts and Letters. Payne won a Pulitzer for his work on a 33-part Newsday series on the international flow of heroin from the poppy fields of Turkey into the veins of drug addicts in New York City. Currently the David Laventhol Chair at Columbia Graduate School of Journalism, Payne has reported extensively from Africa, Europe, Asia, the Caribbean and the United Nations during his career.
Payne, who is finishing a biography of Malcolm X, is an author, editor and social critic who gives lectures frequently about social and political issues, the future of journalism and liberation movements in the United States and southern Africa.
He was inducted into the National Association of Black Journalists Hall of Fame and, as a founder and the fourth president of the NABJ, he has worked diligently to improve media fairness and employment practices and to expand the coverage of black and Third World communities.
Wendy Bahr, senior vice president of Global and Strategic Partners for the Worldwide Partner Organization for Cisco, will address graduates of the College of Sciences, College of Health Sciences and Frank Batten College of Engineering and Technology.
An ODU graduate with a bachelor's degree in communication, Bahr is responsible for driving growth and solutions development through Cisco's largest and most strategic systems integrator, service provider and ecosystem partners.
She has spent more than 20 years in sales and technology. Prior to joining Cisco, Bahr was with Verizon for more than 10 years. In her last role there she was the director of enterprise sales, leading a sales and engineering team focused on Fortune 500 companies and the public sector.
Bahr is a member of the Women's Action Network at Cisco and a former member of the Gender Diversity Operations Committee. She is a coach and mentor for Cisco's Women Unlimited program, while also personally mentoring more than a dozen Cisco employees.
Jack J. Ross, president and chief operating officer with Dominion Enterprises, will give the commencement address to graduates of the College of Business and Public Administration and Darden College of Education.
Ross began working for Landmark Communications Inc. in 1984 as an advertising sales representative with The Virginian-Pilot. In 1996, he was promoted to vice president/general manager of The Employment Guide, with responsibilities for building the organization and opening operations in the top 50 markets in the country. This resulted in the creation of the first nationwide brand for print classified employment listings covering local markets.
In January 2009, Ross was named to his current position as president and COO of Dominion Enterprises and Landmark Media Enterprises, LLC, and in June 2010 he took over the responsibility for Landmark's two television stations, three major daily newspapers and 42 community newspapers.
Ross holds a bachelor's degree in business from ODU. A resident of Virginia Beach, he is active in various civic endeavors.

The FSA Revisited, the Call from Jo, the Past 10 DaysJKRowling.com
All right. Here's where I do what needed to be done in the Fan Site Award post, but sometimes emotions are simply too much:
Thank you. Not only to Jo (we'll get to you later, my dear), but to all of you who come here every day and have fun with us. We can't express how much fun it is to share this obsession with you all.
And the Leaky staff... B.K., who came to this site when it was a scrappy start-up and turned it into a news source; Sue, who...who...well, without Sue this site simply would not function, let's put it plainly; Kristin, who has been such a source of selfless help here; Heidi, whose expertise has been so on-target over the years; Natalie, who brought our design out of the cut-and-paste era; Nick Rhein, who brought us, finally, the outlet our fans were all wishing for, our wonderful forum; the amazing moderators of said forum, who make the Leaky Lounge a place that attracts such "knowledgeable" discussion; Nick Poulden, our newest addition, who has brought us so much technical flair in so short a time he's nothing short of a godsend, and last but certainly not least, John Noe, who has logged more hours on this site than perhaps any of us, whose endless creativity and dedication to it constantly inspires.
These are a bunch of truly special, wonderful, talented people, and they are responsible for making this site what it is.
And now, the details. The phone call. (As for where to send your million questions, please WAIT, and we will open a thread for you on our forum shortly, so I can sift through all your brilliant thoughts at once.)
Click below for more details on how this all came about, and what has happened since Jo Rowling called my cell phone.
Yep, it was a phone call. Jo Rowling called my cell phone 10 days ago.
It's a really good thing I was still in bed, because my floors are hard and my bones are fragile.
When my phone rang, I first thought that it was my snooze - my phone doubles as my alarm clock, and it was only 8 a.m. Then I remembered - someone from Team Potter (as I like to call it) had said she was calling that morning. I only knew that there had to be a phone call, that whatever I had to be told had to be told over the phone instead of via e-mail, the way I usually communicate with the Potter crew. As I was under strict orders not to even tell anyone a phone call was forthcoming, I knew it had to be big.
The whole affair and the secrecy was so torturous that I started making up dream scenarios, complete fantastical answers to the "What will this phone call be about?" question, just to amuse myself. Jo Rowling was going to come to New York, I reasoned, and she needed someone to babysit her kids (hey, I totally would). Jo Rowling wanted a fan to screen the manuscript. Jo Rowling was going to invite me Edinburgh to interview her. The last one had me nearly in hysterical laughter, it was such a silly suggestion, but at least it passed the time.
And then there was the idea that my friend at Team Potter had said "I will call you in early May," and then, the day before, said, "You'll be getting a phone call tomorrow!"
A very strange change of phrase.
I did suspect. I wondered who, but Jo, would need to call instead of e-mail, and why was it now, "You'll be getting a phone call," instead of "I'll call you"? Was my friend playing tricks on me - would Jo Rowling be on the other end of the phone line? As quickly as that thought came is as quickly as I filed it away, where you tend to shove aside your most prideful thoughts and highest hopes. This one got filed right next to the Pulitzer.
But the suspicion had already crept in, so when the phone rang at 8 a.m., and a female voice cut into my morning haze, all I could first do was push aside the thought that "It's Jo, it's Jo, it's Jo," and ask if it was who I first was told it would be.
"No - it's Jo Rowling."
As I said, my floors are hard, and at that moment my warm and fluffy bed was a huge comfort, because even as I flopped back on it, and my mind was working to understand what was going on, I screamed:
Jo started laughing.
And when the yelling was done she was still there, quite to my amazement. There was Jo Rowling, laughing at the other end of my cell phone.
"Oh my god - how are you - how - I mean - hi! How are your kids?"
Yes, that's the first thing that came out of my mouth. "Oh my god you're on my cell phone really and, how are your kids?" I think I shall forever be called Melissa NonSequitur.
In short order, Jo asked if I would be available to come to Scotland to interview her. Between Emerson and myself, she said, we provided fans with the complementary viewpoints, due to our respective ages and audiences, a statement I wholly agreed with. And she kept saying how excited she was about it, how much fun it was going to be, and how nice it was going to be to get to just talk.
Hi! DITTO!
We spoke for about 10 minutes - about the book, about the craziness we've all been experiencing lately, about HOW MUCH FUN this was going to be. I must have said 'Oh my god' 48 times (that's a low estimate). At one point I just sat on my bed (I had taken to pacing around my room), and just explained, in almost weariness, that it was going to be nice to just talk to her.
In my Christmas card to Jo - which was, strangely enough, the first thing I've ever written to her - I promised that, unlike the first two times we met, I would actually form words out of my mouth the third time we spoke. And now I had to explain that, "I know I said I'd have words this time, but you've taken them away again! They're gone!"
And then I was sworn to secrecy. There would be calls from Bloomsbury, and calls from lawyers, and calls from the agency, and things to sign, and all that - but it really came down to a promise to Jo Rowling that I would keep this quiet until now, and so I have, even from the rest of the TLC staff, even from you all, when the idea of your reactions has made me nearly giddy with anticipation.
She explained that she was about to call Emerson, and unlike me, he had NO clue ANYONE was calling, and she was concerned he would hang up on her repeatedly before she convinced him it was her. We said our goodbyes.
And there I was, in my pyjamas, in the middle of my room, with the biggest news of my life and under strict orders not to tell anyone about it.
Except Emerson. Emerson, I could bother. Emerson and I could be each other's outlets, Jo had specifically said. And so I went to work, and spoke to the lawyers, and to Bloomsbury, and my phone rang off the hook with this lineup of Team Potter, all day long - and every one of them sounded SO thrilled about these events.
And then the wait began.
Now, I know you're all thinking, "Oh, poor babies, they had to be quiet about getting to interview Jo Rowling." Trust me, this has been some of the most difficult 10 days of my life. It has been a tremendous secret to keep, especially when I imagined all your reactions.
So I made a little record, to show you all just what has gone on around here in the past 10 days. It took 10 minutes for the initial news to actually hit my bones - I mean truly HIT - and then all I could do was shake my head and laugh in this insane, sort-of-like-Sirius way. I've been doing this at odd moments for the past 10 days: at a press conference for work; in meetings; at family weddings; at dinner with my roommate - pretty much everywhere. The looks I've gathered have been in the thousands, but I've been carrying around a happy little secret, and the stares were just manifestations of it, and therefore part of all the fun.
When a few hours went by and I heard nothing from Emerson, I e-mailed him.
E-mail to Emerson:
...as soon as you know what this email is about.
An hour later, no call. And so, e-mail number two.
What are you DOING, man, you must call me!
An hour later:
You know, I *do* have your number somewhere. I'm going to harass you.
An hour after that, I cracked, and called him.
"EMERSON!" I shouted.
Emerson: "What?!"
Melissa: "YOU'RE AVOIDING ME!"
Emerson: "WHAT?"
Melissa: "I sent you EIGHT EMAILS TODAY!"
Emerson: "HUH? I'm not home, I'm not getting e-mail!"
Melissa: "...Oh. SO, did you hang up on her? You hung up on her, didn't you."
Emerson: "I recognized her voice!"
Melissa: "You did not."
Emerson: "I did, once she started talking. I've listened to a lot of interviews."
Melissa: "You didnât hang up on her? Scream? Jump? Faint? Die?"
Emerson: "I keep my emotions in my head."
Melissa: "I don't."
Emerson: "Yeah, I remember. On the set you were bouncing off the walls and almost knocking over the walls. We needed a straightjacket for you."
Melissa: "Yeah, well...SOOOOOOOOOOOOO?"
Emerson: "Yeah. Oh my god."
Melissa: "Oh my god."
Emerson: "Oh my god."
Melissa: "Oh my god."
Emerson: "Oh my god."
Melissa: "Oh my god."
Emerson: "Oh my god."
Melissa: "Oh my god."
Emerson: "Oh my god."
Melissa: "Oh my god."
Emerson: "How many times have you said 'Oh my god' today?"
Melissa: "Really, what are numbers anyway?"
Emerson: "A lot, huh."
Melissa: "You should have seen the looks people gave me at work."
Emerson: "How are we going to do this? 10 days? How?"
Melissa: "We need to keep each other sane."
Emerson: "Too late."
Melissa: "Yeah, well. More sane than this."
Emerson: "I can't take it."
Melissa: "Neither can I."
Emerson: "We can't tell ANYONE. HOW?"
Melissa: "We can think of ourselves as spies, protecting the welfare of HP fans everywhere with our covert operation. We could wear disguises and say things like 'DOWN!' and 'COVER ME!'."
Emerson: "Or we can just call each other and scream."
Melissa: "Yeah. Better plan."
Later, by e-mail:
From Emerson: Almost 9 days now!!!!!!!!!!!!
The next morning, e-mail:
To Emerson: have you cracked yet? this pressure is too much. I'm going to die.
The reply:
..............................8 days............................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you imagine the fan reaction?
My reply:
I've been trying to all day. It's very hard. I have images of my site melting into a puddly cyber internet heap. I think the readers are going to use so many exclamation points it's going to look like binary code in the comments. I think my phone is going to ring so hard and for so long that it will explode. I think my "Oh my God"ing is going to quadruple because when I answer my phone each time I'll have to go through the whole "Oh my god" sequence over and over. And then the questions are going to start pouring in. And I will count how many times someone says "CN U plz ask her if ron & emma will mrry b/c i luuuuuuvvvvvv roooooooon!"
I'm thinking about 99.
And then we found each other on IM, the one venue of exclaiming we hadn't yet broached:
Melissa: AGHGHGHGHGHGHGHHGGGHGHHG
Melissa: ::deep breath::
Melissa: AGGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHHGGHHGGH
Emerson: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Emerson: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Emerson: see, I don't make noise even online!
Melissa: ;djkag;akjdf;asdjf;askjdf;asdjf;asdjf;asdf
Emerson: I've been attempting to learn a foreign language
Melissa: the one of !!!!!!!!!!
Melissa: ?
Emerson: but every word I see I translates as "who cares"
Melissa: a;fj;lsakjfasf
Melissa: or as "jkrrrrrr"
Melissa: or as "scotland"
Melissa: or as "cute boys in kilts" - no, wait, that's me.
Emerson: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Melissa: a;asdkjf;asdfjka;sf
Melissa: see now we're getting communicative!
Emerson: yes!!
Melissa: a WORD! he said a word!
Emerson: !
Emerson: !!
Melissa: !!!
Melissa: now you do four
Emerson: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Melissa: or that!
Melissa: Have you also had visions of lawyers listening in on your every move? Like the confidentiality police are all around us? I am paranoid.
Emerson: I am especially now...............
Emerson: I look at everyone with shifty eyes
Melissa: Like Mr Higglesworth, the next door neighbor, is really a plant from Bloomsbury sent to spy on your house and listen in on your phone calls. He scales your walls and listens in through the ceiling, or something.
Melissa: I see these people everywhere now. I think my roommate is a plant.
Emerson: I'm gonna give you a tip
Emerson: put your AC on full
Emerson: and fans in every room on high
Emerson: old fans that make lots of noise
Emerson: and don't use your phone or your cell
Emerson: payphones only
Emerson: but not ones close to your home/apt
Emerson: only random ones
Melissa: Ooh ooh we need code names
Melissa: "Exclamation point, this is Straight Jacket"
Emerson: hahahahhaaha
Emerson: brilliant!
Emerson: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Melissa: hahahahha
Melissa: i keep thinking about how long eight days is...
Emerson: that's like... 200 hours!!
Melissa: that's foREVER
Emerson: I KNOW
Melissa: 199 hours and 59 minutes now
Emerson: UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Melissa: i mean, how wll we EVER do this.
Emerson: we've made it through 2 so far...
Emerson: I don't know how I've managed so far
Melissa: ok, deep breaths...
Melissa: neither do I, to be honest
Melissa: I keep wanting to get up and shout
Emerson: have you already started writing the post in your head?
Melissa: YES!
Emerson: me too, but I haven't gotten past the first line
Melissa: is the first line "!!!!!!!!!!?"
Melissa: Because I think that's a great opener.
Emerson: lol
Melissa: ok. ok. i have to take my ridiculously excited butt to bed.
Emerson: you're never going to sleep!! resistance is futile!!!!
Melissa:I want to blab all night.
Melissa: I KNOW!
Melissa: you know when we're not going to sleep - that night.
Emerson: IT'S TRUE
Melissa: i know, man, i know. we need to sleep BEFORE because...we need energy. LOTS OF IT
Melissa: AND COFFEE!!!!!
The next day, e-mail:
From Melissa, approaching desperation:
All right. It's time for us to make this a game to pass the time, like when you're riding in the car.
Ways Emerson and Melissa Can Be Quiet About That Thing They Can't Even Talk About on Email, and Also Not Lose Their Minds
1) Every time we hear the word "book," giggle quietly to ourselves and explain that we must be excused from school/work/family obligation for a personal emergency.
2) Open the Harry Potter books to pages that collectively equal the amount of time left before we can talk freely: ie., 200 hours, open the first five books to page 40. Every hour turn a page backwards.
3) Write and rewrite what we plan to say on our sites when the news goes live. Stare at it and try to convince ourselves that it's not all a big lie, elaborate delusion, or signs of youthful insanity.
4) Make a fort out of all our versions of HP books, build it in the backyard, and go sit there until next Friday, claiming to be communing with nature.
5) Imagine Scottish boys in kilts (no, wait, just Melissa again!)
6) Buy umbrellas, in bulk, as a reminder of Scotland's likely weather. When asked why, say we're giving up our schooling and career to peddle merchandise on the street.
7) Lots and lots of candy.
Tag, you're it.
From Emerson:
8) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, my mind is incapable of witty dialogue right now.
194 hours and 29 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, you can see...it's been a very rough 10 days.

The offense has long been the talk of the town in Cheney – from running back Taiwan Jones two years ago, to quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell and all of his awards last season. This year, though, the excitement centers around the defense.
In Eastern Washington's scrimmage last week, it was the oft-forgotten defense that held the Eagles' potent offense in check. And that's no small feat.
"The defensive line has been playing great," said receiver Greg Herd. "Offensively, as a receiver you don't like that too much, but seeing those guys on my team I really appreciate it. They're getting in the backfield fast, making plays, they're "collisioning"-up everyone, so they're playing really well."
"We're coming together these last few weeks, so we're just bringing it all together for fall," said touted transfer from the Washington Huskies, Andru Pulu.
The Eagles have one more week of spring practice. They wrap things up next Saturday with the Red and White Scrimmage. The game, on April 28, can be seen on SWX and SWXRightnow.com.

So you've just seen The Ultimate Wave Tahiti at the Orlando Science Center and now you want to go surf the big waves of Tahiti. Assuming you know how to surf (not an easy task!), you'll probably want to learn the language of Tahiti. Well, here are some interesting facts about the Tahitian Language, or "Reo Tahiti." Get out your pen and paper!
The Tahitian Language does not contain a "B," even though one of the most famous islands in Tahiti is "Bora Bora." This is because when early visitors heard of the island, they mistook "Pora Pora" for "Bora Bora."
Another interesting fact about the Tahitian Language is that their alphabet includes what is called a "glottal stop," or 'eta. To English speakers, this would appear to be an apostrophe, but it is in fact a consonant. For example, the word for fish in Tahitian is i'a.
Now let's say you've mastered all of the words in Tahitian. Something you'd have to keep in mind is the word order. In English, our general sentence structure is Subject Verb Object (SVO). For example, "I ate cake." "I" is the subject, "ate" is the verb, and "cake" is the object. In the Tahitian Language, the order is "Verb Subject Object." So a proper sentence in Tahiti would be "Ate I cake!"
If you haven't seen The Ultimate Wave Tahiti, be sure to check it out at the Orlando Science Center.
