Several explanations are floating around to Sunday's red dust storm that left behind a film of clay-colored dirt over everything in its path.
Referencing Homer's Iliad, some have called it "Blood Rain." Others have said it's from storms in Mexico, and one said it blew in from Saudi Arabia. When I answered a call from Marce Lucke Monday afternoon asking to speak with a reporter about the dust, I was eager to hear her reasoning behind the phenomenon.
"Santa Claus was getting ready to hitch up the reindeer...," she started.
Marce theorized that the reindeer had rolled in the grass to get the static out of their fur. As Santa gently brushed them, preparing them to be hitched up for their big night Tuesday, the dust blew everywhere, eventually landing in South Texas.
"It makes sense to me!" she said.
Although she admitted she did not have a direct line to Santa, and could not verify with the big guy up North, her qualifications include 84 Christmases, which is more than I have. It made for a lighthearted explanation, and certainly it put me in the right mindset for the holidays, a time that is often overwhelmingly stressful.
Thanks for reminding me of the magic of Christmas, Marce!

- Automatic turn off
- good for all year
- So Very Pretty To Look At
Best Uses
I bought my first two strands a couple of years ago. I had to buy two more this year as they are so pretty. I have some hanging over my patio doors and they look great.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
I strung 3 star strings in the windows around the front door. I thought we looked very festive -
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Convenient
- Pretty
- Cord too short
Best Uses
- Doorway
- Mantle
Endless ways to use this!
- Lights not very bright
Best Uses
- With Evergreen On Mantel
Very pretty when the room lights are off.
- Beautiful when lit
- No Elect Outlet Needed
- Would Not Stay Lit
Best Uses
I bought two sets of these lights. One did not work so I sent it back and ordered another. Hung them up and they were beautiful - BUT - they woudlnto stay lit. They woudl take turn going off for hours at a time. I think they must have a short or someting. I thought they were pretty pricey but was willing to pay since they were battery operated. BUT all three sets had issues. I plan to send the other two sets back as well. Not worth the money
- Beautiful On The Mantle
- Love the timer
- Unique Design
- Lights Should Twinkle
- Put Together Kinda Cheap
Best Uses
- Across A Mantle
- Centerpiece on table
The stars made a beautiful addition amongst the greenary and candles over our mantle. The scroll work is delicate and the light is subtle so it adds rather than detracts, and guests commented on how pretty they looked.
I really wish these lights twinkled, it would add so much more. I wasn't excited about how they were put together (2 pieces glued together, looked cheap)
Best Uses
- Decorative
The quality is very poor. Not very well put together and lots of glue used. Very dim.
I hung one stand vertically on a french door and the other across the top of a picture window. I like charming, European style decorations and these fit right in with the rest of my collection. I had trouble concealing the battery box but will work on that for next year. I like that I didn't have to plug them in somewhere. It gave me more options.
- Battery powered
- Novel
- Quite Pretty Lit
- Batteries Are A Trick
- Need Some Support
- Too Plain By Themselves
Best Uses
- Wrapped Around Greenery
I had ordered 3 sets. One would not light and was promptly replaced by the company - no complaints there. Once you get the batteries loaded and they work, the lights are pretty. I am disappointed that there is not actually greenery attached as the picture suggests in the ad. They are very plain by themselves. I wrapped them around the stair banister with greenery to help hide the wiring.
- Beautiful and unusual
- none
Best Uses
- Scattered In A Basket
I scattered them in two large baskets with pine cones, beautiful and delicate lights. I collect stars and these are a GREAT addition to my collection.

Fourth Grade Science
Fourth grade topics typically include
the Ring of Fire; volcanism and tectonics; landforms and their development and change over time.
Air pressure—
what it is and what causes it; how it affects things as diverse as aluminum drink cans, balloons, and our lungs.
Heat energy—
what it is and how it is produced, changed, and lost; how heat moves through various materials via convection, conduction, and radiation; dissipation and insulation; molecular motion; making and calibration of thermometers.
"Mystery Powders"—
a deep and thorough investigation of nine white, everyday "kitchen" powders; observing them while testing them for their behavior with water, vinegar, iodine, and heat. We then recombine two, three, or four in an unknown mixture, retest, analyze and deduce the contents. Requires careful, repetitive, and accurate testing, excellent notes, solid organization, cooperation, and logical reasoning. Very challenging and very much fun!
what atoms and molecules are; how they are related; evidence we have for their existence, behavior, and properties; chemical energy; pH testing of acids and bases; soil nutrient analysis for our garden site; water quality testing.
Lab reports are introduced and used throughout the fourth grade year to help organize ideas, materials, procedures, observational data, and conclusions.

Goodspeed's Hello, Dolly! Will Star Klea Blackhurst
By Kenneth Jones
Klea Blackburst, the big-voiced character actress who recently appeared in York Theatre Company's Happy Hunting, will play Dolly Levi in director Daniel Goldstein's Goodspeed Musicals production of Jerry Herman and Michael Stewart's Hello, Dolly!
Blackhurt has been associated with the qualities and roles of blowsy Ethel Merman before; Merman took over the role of Dolly in the original Broadway run of the musical comedy. Blackkurst said in an earlier statement at the time of Happy Hunting, "I am genetically predisposed toward celebrating the works of Ethel Merman. I know a lot about the First Lady of Musical Theatre and have enjoyed playing some of her most celebrated roles. I've walked miles in those tiny pumps and enjoyed life from behind her proverbial highball."
Performances of Hello, Dolly!, the musical comedy romance based on Thornton Wilder's The Matchmaker, will play June 28-Sept. 8 at Goodspeed Opera House in East Haddam, CT. Goodspeed confirmed the casting of Blackhurst after news broke in the Hartford Courant.
Blackhurst has appeared in her own cabarets shows, including Everything the Traffic Will Allow, and regional and Off-Broadway productions, including Gypsy and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Her recoridngs include "Autumn in New York," "Dreaming of a Song" and "Everything the Traffic Will Allow."
Goldstein previously directed The Unauthorized Autobiography of Samantha Brown at The Norma Terris Theatre in 2011.
His recent projects include Anna Christie (The Old Globe), Annie (St. Louis Muny), God of Carnage, Falsettos, Les Liaisons Dangereuses and Sinan Unel's The Cry of the Reed (Huntington Theater Company), A New Brain at the Toho Theater in Tokyo and the Off-Broadway commercial production of the hit Fringe Festival musical Walmartopia. He has served as the associate director for All Shook Up! and Fully Committed, and was the resident director for the first national tour of Mamma Mia!

WINONA, Minn. (KTTC) -- The Winona bar that was the scene of a fight over the weekend is now making some security changes.
The incident at MC's Sports Bar near the Winona State University campus occurred just before 1 a.m. Sunday. The fight led to the stabbing of one Winona man and one of the bouncers had several teeth knocked out.
Bar owners are now enacting several new security measures in order to preserve the safety of their patrons.
"Adding a couple bouncers, one specifically in the patio where past altercations broke out," said Clint Evans, MC's Sports Bar owner. "That seems to be an area where there's, I'd say where most of our escalations would start from the patio area."
Workers are installing new security cameras, as well as doubling the current number of cameras in order to cover every square foot of the bar.
Bar owners are hoping this is a fluke incident, and students say they have never experienced a brawl such as this one.
"Most of it seems like shocked that it happened, because it never really happens around here, fights and stuff," said student Josh Villeneuve. "I mean maybe minor fights once or twice at a party or something."'
Two individuals involved in the fight are facing misdemeanor charges.
Dustin Michael Larson faces fourth degree assault of a police officer and obstructing legal process.
Sephanie Ann Smith was cited for obstructing legal process and disorderly conduct.
Eyewitnesses and bar staff say that Sunday morning's incident most likely involved several fights rather than just one large brawl.
One thing is for certain, MC's Sports Bar is doing everything it can to ensure that this never happens again.

Penn State football's wins from 1998 to 2011 have been vacated and the current team will be banned from post-season play for the next four years, the NCAA announced Monday morning in the wake of a report that says Penn State officials covered up child sexual abuse by former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky.
NCAA President Mark Emmert said he was imposing the sanctions to ensure that "football will never again be placed ahead of educating, nurturing and protecting young people."
Emmert made the announce at a press conference in Indianapolis Monday morning. The sanctions came just over a week after former FBI Director Louis Freeh released his investigation, which concluded that four top PSU officials, including Joe Paterno, covered up child sexual abuse by former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. Freeh was hired by the Penn State Board of Trustees.
In addition to banning postseason play and vacating wins, the NCAA said Penn State must pay a $60 million fine, submit to five years of probation and academic monitoring and reduce the number of football scholarships from 25 per year to 15 per year during the next four years.
The removal of wins from 1998 to 2011 means Joe Paterno is no longer the winningest coach in Division I history. He is now 12th on the list for the most wins among major college football coaches.
In light of these changes, the NCAA has said they will allow any current or incoming players to immediately transfer without missing a year of competition, as NCAA rules regularly require. The NCAA also said they are considering waiving scholarship limits for programs that accept these transfer students.
Gov. Tom Corbett, who also sits on the board of trustees, said PSU will not be using taxpayer money to pay the $60 million fine. The money will be paid out - over a five year period - to programs that assist victims of child sexual abuse or work to prevent abuse.
Additional details regarding the sanctions can be found on the NCAA's website: http://bit.ly/MiPyeR.
Shortly after the NCAA made their announcement, Penn State President Rodney Erickson confirmed that the university had accepted the penalties.
"It is important to know we are entering a new chapter at Penn State," he said. "We must create a culture in which people are not afraid to speak up, management is not compartmentalized, all are expected to demonstrate the highest ethical standards, and the operating philosophy is open, collegial, and collaborative."
Erickson also added, the fine "of $60 million can never reduce the pain suffered by victims, but will help provide them hope and healing".
Current PSU head football coach Bill O'Brien took over after Joe Paterno was fired last year. In a statement today he said he is prepared to move the university forward.
"Today we receive a very harsh penalty from the NCAA and as Head Coach of the Nittany Lions football program, I will do everything in my power to not only comply, but help guide the University forward to become a national leader in ethics, compliance and operational excellence."
Originally, some thought the NCAA was going to cancel the football program altogether and impose what is know as the 'death penalty.' Corbett said Monday he was grateful the NCAA did not impose this punishment saying, it "would have also had a severe detrimental impact on the citizens of State College, Centre County and the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania."
Acting Athletic Director David Joyner is also grateful the program can move forward but said he is "deeply disappointed that some of our leaders could have turned a blind eye to such abuse."
Joyner said he agrees with Emmert, who said the culture at Penn State must change.

Our flight arrived early at Nadi airport by 40 minutes due to an early departure but the local hostess and driver were at the airport ready for our pick-up. Additionally, the driver was knowledgeable and informative with the local history and culture. Extremely satisfied with the service received.
Doing what: Nadi Arrival Shared Transfer: Airport to Hotel
This trip was very good. Vuda Lookout was very scenic. They served as with several kinds of tropical fruits in her garden. It was very refreshing after a hot day.The orchid garden was beautiful with nearly 2000 species of orchids. I like orchids. I really enjoyed it. Our guide also took us to the vegetable and fish market in Nadi.
I highly recommended it.
Doing what: Vuda Lookout, Sabeto Valley and Garden of the Sleeping Giant Tour
One hour drive there, 2 hours to look around the shops, which are the same as Nadi, then 1 hour drive back to hotel at Denaru Island. Good drive to see the scenery. We were expecting to see a "village" and craft places.The Village Craft Market is only a craft shop in the town. Little bit disappointing, but a nice morning.
Doing what: Sigatoka Half-Day Shopping Tour from Nadi
This tour is a great introduction to Nadi. The walk through the Orchid farm was lovely and lookout was great (once you are there - it is a bumpy road). Would recommend doing at the beginning of your trip if you are doing the morning tour which includes a stop at the Fruit and Veg Market. Enjoy!
Doing what: Vuda Lookout, Sabeto Valley and Garden of the Sleeping Giant Tour
During this tour I partially dislocated my hip at the village and everyone could not do enough for me. Junior my guide I could marry that man he was fantastic he looked after me, carried me back down to the river, with the help of others, put me in the canoe, helped me out of the canoe, held my hair back as I vomited with the pain and offered to get a private car to get me back to Nadi. I had the best day and the best experience, it was actually the highlight of my holiday. Sai and Niraj also did an amazing job looking after me on my 4 hour bus trip back to Nadi. i will go back again and again!!! The scenery and the service OUTSTANDING!!!
Doing what: Navua River Village and Kava Ceremony Tour including Lunch
the captain and the crew on the Nadi dinner cruise was wonderful.. they made us feel very welcomed and the meal was great as was the entertainment... the only complaint that i do have is the airconditoner was hitting me and my husband in the middle of our backs and after about 1 hour became rather uncomfortable as it was too cold, other than that it was a great night and we thoroughly enjoyed it...
Doing what: Fiji Sunset Dinner Cruise and Cultural Show
If you have to do a non-island related tour, this is the tour to do. It was a shame that they didn't take us to the Hot Springs which is just ahead the road from the Garden of the Sleeping Giant. If they want to sell Fiji tours here, they should replace the Viseisei village tour with the hot springs tour as this village tour is already under the Lautoka tour. If I would do it all over again, I would do one full day at Nadi with this tour and three full days at one of the islands. We stayed instead for 7 nights due to the cheaper return tickets.
Doing what: Vuda Lookout, Sabeto Valley and Garden of the Sleeping Giant Tour
This was a good activity to keep us awake after flying from the eastern U.S. The garden was nice, and the lookout was even better. I'd recommend it as a gentle introduction to Nadi (as opposed to going straight into the city)!
Doing what: Vuda Lookout, Sabeto Valley and Garden of the Sleeping Giant Tour
I recently pre-booked an airport-hotel-airport transfer through Viator from Nadi airport to Denarau Island. The booking process was efficient and easy and the transfers were faultless. I'd do the same again.
Doing what: Nadi Shared Departure Transfer: Hotel to Airport
EASY AS!!! We landed at Nadi and went straight out to our pickup person.He was very friendly and informative and the shuttle bus was comfortable.
Doing what: Nadi Shared Departure Transfer: Hotel to Airport
There was only 2 of us on the tour so we had a private car take us. The trip is about a hour to get there, we wandered around in our own time and did some shopping. Had a wander around Sigatoka and then the driver took us back. Great shopping, cheaper than Nadi.
Doing what: Sigatoka Half-Day Shopping Tour from Nadi
An authentic experience. Relaxing and the scenery fantastic. Our guide was really helpful and made the trip very enjoyable. Our bus experience was first class and a wonderful way of seeing a lot of Fiji (from Nadi to Navua). Our bus guide was delightful. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Doing what: Navua River Village and Kava Ceremony Tour including Lunch
Our trip to Fiji was very relaxing and beaches were awesome, not much in the way of shopping though. Very friendly locals and guides/instructors. This was our second stop after the capital then we were onto Beachcomber island which was awesome - best week ever there!
The cruise was really amazing with all the beautiful views. The crew was very nice and accomodating. The only downfall to this trip was getting there. We stayed in Pacific Harbor so a one-way bus ride to the cruise was 3 hours long. I would completely recommend it if you're staying near Nadi. Otherwise, you may want to find something closer. Also, the snorkeling was just mediocre but it was super cool to watch the crew members catch fish with metal sticks!
Doing what: Fijian Islands and Snorkel Full-Day Whales Tale Cruise including Beach BBQ Lunch
Interesting to see the city but a very long ride from Nadi, especially with the hotel pickups for other tours. Travel time 8 hours round trip and 3 hours of city sightseeing on your own. Good if you have limited time but an overnight stay would be more relaxed and enjoyable.
Doing what: Suva Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Nadi

The San Francisco Giants utilized excellent pitching to beat the Colorado Rockies 2-1 on Monday night at AT&T Park. The Giants pitching staff held the Rockies to four hits, with starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner leading the way. Bumgarner did give up five walks, but struck out six and wiggled his way out of trouble on several occasions. Bumgarner stranded several baserunners in scoring position and ended up with his 15th win of the season.
The Giants struck first in the bottom of the third inning. Brandon Crawford tripled to deep center field, and he scored on a passed ball to give San Francisco a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning. Pitcher Jhoulys Chacin of the Rockies helped bring Colorado back into it with a double to shallow right center field, with Josh Rutledge bringing Chacin home on a triple to a similar spot.
After Chacin left the game before the sixth inning, Pablo Sandoval and Buster Posey both managed singles that allowed Hunter Pence to single in the go-ahead run. From that point on, the Giants bullpen allowed no hits in the final three innings.
The Giants are now up eight games in the NL West over the Los Angeles Dodgers, with the magic number of wins for Los Angeles to clinch being eight.
Talk about the game with Giants fans at McCovey Chronicles and with Rockies fans at Purple Row.

The Herald-Tribune
-- — The co-author of a failed bill that would have cut off cash assistance to welfare recipients who fail drug tests is working to revive the legislation in the next session.
Rep. Jud McMillin, a Brookville Republican, said he wants to re-introduce legislation that would require the state's Family and Social Services Agency to develop a drug-screening program for adults receiving cash payments through a program known as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.
The bill, which passed the House but was blocked in the Senate in the last session, was opposed by FSSA officials who questioned whether it was cost-effective or constitutional.
But McMillin, an attorney, believes there may be growing support for the proposal, and he's convinced that a bill can be drafted in a way that will stand up to a court challenge.
"The legislation is not punitive," McMillin said. "We're not looking to harm anybody who fails a drug test. This is about creating incentives for people to make good decisions."
The legislation wouldn't automatically cut off cash-assistance to TANF recipients who failed the drug test, but it would compel them to seek treatment to continue on the program.
McMillin and other supporters of the bill came under fire during the last session for proposing legislation tying drug-testing to welfare assistance. At one point during the session, opponents of the bill attached an amendment that would have required drug-testing for legislators.
But the bill earned some bipartisan support while it was alive. One of the earlier "yes" votes on the bill came from Rep. Scott Pelath, a Democrat from Michigan City. Pelath said his experience working for a mental health center influenced his vote. He said drug addicts have difficulty making good decisions. "To get people into treatment, some coercion may be needed," he said at the time.
State welfare agency administrators opposed the bill. During a hearing on it in the last session, an FSSA official said costs for a tywo-year pilot project in a handful of Indiana counties would exceed $500,000 to implement. FSSA officials also warned legal costs would increase if the drug-testing program was challenged in court on constitutional grounds.
State Sen. Tim Lanane, an Anderson Democrat and attorney, said the constitutional and cost challenges would be big hurdles to overcome. He noted that states that have implemented similar drug-testing programs, including Florida, Michigan and Missouri, have found themselves tangled up in legal arguments and lawsuits. Civil rights advocates have argued mandatory drug-testing for welfare recipients violates the Constitution's Fourth Amendment ban on unreasonable search and seizure.
"On its face, it seems simple: Why shouldn't TANF recipients be drug-tested?" Lanane said. "But it's more complicated than that."
Cost of the drug-testing will likely continue to be an issue. In April, as part of the continuing court battle involving Florida's mandatory drug-testing program, Florida officials revealed they spent more than $118,000 on drug testing more than 4,000 TANF recipients and found less than three percent who failed.
But McMillin said those numbers don't tell a larger story. "It doesn't account for the law's deterrent effect," McMillin said. "That study can't take into account the number of people who made a different decision because of the law."
In Indiana, about 17,000 people receive cash payments each month through the TANF program. TANF recipients must either be working, looking for work, or be in school or some kind of job-training. A family of four making about $36,000 a year would be eligible to receive up to $346 in cash benefits a month.

One Piece: Grand Adventure GameCube

If you're a fan of the One Piece franchise, Grand Adventure is simply a no-brainer. The amount of depth and entertainment found in this seemingly tame fighter is just amazing.
One Piece Grand Adventure feels like a beefier version of One Piece Grand Battle, but it's still not a very compelling brawler.
The variety of modes, the insane amount of unlockables and the sheer element of fun makes Grand Adventure a game not to be missed.
Fans of Eiichiro Oda's comical pirate epic will certainly get the most out of the game, but if you like chaotic action and bizarre characters, just about anyone can enjoy it.
It includes an incredible amount of fighters from the series, and with all of the unlockables and story modes to complete, the replay value simply shoots through the roof.
Grand Adventure manages to outstrip the occasional chug in favor of all-out wild brawling action that's guaranteed to get even the crankiest face grinning; this is one Grand Adventure that you don't want to miss if you're a One Piece fanatic, and even if you're not, there's certainly more than enough pick up and playability to warrant a rental or purchase.
For a game that is rated TEEN, the latest One Piece doesn't provide the flare that a teen's attention requires, unless you're a rabid fan of the television series.
If only it supported four players, this would be a definite must have. [Dec 2006, p.44]
While the "Power Stone"-esque gameplay would probably appeal to most people, an overwhelming portion of the experience seems to require at least a passing interest in the anime. Still, it's a great package for what it is and I genuinely enjoyed my time with it.
It's not a great fighting game, but its wide array of characters, scenarios, and unlockable junk could be just the thing for less critical fans.

Double federal funding for basic science research over 10 years
Will "support doubling federal funding for basic research over ten years, changing the posture of our federal government...to one that embraces science and technology. This will foster home-grown innovation, help ensure the competitiveness of US technology-based businesses, and ensure that 21st century jobs can and will grow in America."
Sources: "Barack Obama: Science, Technology and Innovation for a New Generation"
Subjects: Science, Technology
Potentially billions for science
Updated: Thursday, January 15th, 2009 | By Angie Drobnic Holan
Certainly no one is happy that the U.S. economy is in such dire straits that policymakers are talking about a stimulus plan that could cost more than $500 billion. But an unintended benefit for Barack Obama is that the bill gives him a chance to make good on a number of his more expensive campaign promises.
Obama discussed the broad outline of his hopes for the bill in a speech at George Mason University on Jan. 8, 2009.
"It is not just another public-works program," Obama said. "It's a plan that recognizes both the paradox and the promise of this moment — the fact that there are millions of Americans trying to find work even as all around the country there's so much work to be done. That's why we'll invest in priorities like energy and education; health care and a new infrastructure that are necessary to keep us strong and competitive in the 21st century."
Democrats in the U.S. House released a broad outline of what they hope to include in the 2009 stimulus bill and it contained many ideas Obama promised during the campaign, including a big chunk for basic research.
We're not sure how far the new proposal goes toward doubling federal funding for basic research. But it directs $10 billion toward science, including $2.5 billion for basic research. That's a start. And it's enough for us to move the Obameter from No Action to In the Works.

Red hot Lady Cougars bury Lamar
The Western Nebraska Community College women's basketball team knocked home 11 3-pointers and sizzled on defense in rolling to a commanding 75-26 win over Lamar Community College Friday night at Cougar Palace.
The win was the Cougars 11th of the season, but more importantly kept the team unbeaten in South Sub-region play with a perfect 7-0 mark. The win also lowered the Cougars magic number to clinch hosting the Region IX tournament to three.
Maurissa Ortega, who finished with 11 points, said the team's defense was superior on the night.
"Our defense is what we work on all the time," she said. "Our weakness is allowing them getting offensive rebounds and we have been working on that the past week and it showed tonight. Defense is just what we are good at. We talk. We communicate. We are strong. We hustle and go after the ball. That is what our signature is and that is we come out every night to prove it."
The Cougars offense wasn't too shabby either, burying 11 treys. The Cougars shot 43 percent from the field and 37 percent from beyond the arc. Ortega said that kind of shooting is huge for this team.
"We have tons of good shooters on our team and we go deep into the bench," she said. "Mikayla [Brower] is lights out. She can shoot threes from anywhere with people on her. She is huge and Gritt [Ryder] can shoot. We just have shooters and we work on that a lot. We come in at night and we work. Then our posts are solid inside so our inside out game is unstoppable when we are on fire."
The defensive intensity, however, was the difference especially in the second half, where the Runnin' Lopes managed just 10 points. And, during one streatch, the Cougars held Lamar scoreless for a 10-minute span.
A big key to the Cougars defensive intensity was the team's ball-hawking, scrappy play. The Cougars also rebounded the ball well, out-rebounding Lamar 46-34.
"Our coaches have been getting on us about that [not being scrappy]," Ortega said. "Sometimes when we box out, we just let the ball hit the floor instead of going to go get it. So, one of our goals tonight was to dive on the ball and be the first one to loose balls. Even when we are winning by a lot, we want to hustle to the very end."
WNCC dominated the game pretty much from the get-go, running out to a quick 8-5 lead behind 3-pointers by MIkayla Brower and Gritt Ryder. Lamar came back to cut the lead to 8-5 and later 10-7, but a flurry of 3-pointers, including two from Brower and one each from Shalisa Moffit and Laurin Rivera pushed the lead to 28-12. WNCC held a 35-16 lead at halftime.
The second half was all WNCC as the defense was stellar. Lamar was held to just three points early. WNCC then held the Runnin' Lopes scoreless for10 minutes and going on a 22-0 run for a 64-19 lead.
WNCC had three players in double figures, led by Brower with 16 points. Brower, who is tied for second in the NJCAA in 3-point shooting at 52.9 percent, connected on 4 of 6 from 3-point line for the night.
Also hitting for double digits was Rivera and Ortega with 11 points. Ryder led the team in rebounding with seven while also dishing out seven assists and scoring nine points. Jessica Aratani also chipped in nine points and pulled down five rebounds.
WNCC will be back in action Saturday when they host Northeastern Junior College at 5:30 p.m. That contest is Play 4Kay night and spectators are asked to wear pink for breast cancer awareness.
Lamar 16 10 26
Tanner Campbell 2, Janey Truiett 2, Jaden Noe 1, Chakeva Raiford 3, Brianna Wiliams 4, Cydnee Ceballos 4, Ellie Stevens 10.

Water Birth
Water birth is being considered by many pregnant women around the globe as well as in the UK for the tremendous amounts of benefits that it offers them and their new born baby. This has become a popular trend and more and more women are making an informed decision and opting for a water birth.
At first when you hear about water birth, it might sound a wee bit strange and bizarre. After all since times immemorial women have given birth lying down in bed. But that is not necessarily the right way as has been discovered since then you are working against the force of gravity and nature. That is why one has been able to get the chance of being able to give birth in water and many celebrities have tried it and vouch for its efficacy. You will love the way there are reports time and again about how very impactful and successful the outcome is for both mother and child when women give birth in water.
The one factor that draws women to the water and giving birth in it is the diminished amounts of pain. The most painful part of labor is the pain that is linked with having a baby. But, during a water birth, a woman is seated in a tub filled with warm water and the soothing ripples around her, so the pain is certainly less. The water massages her muscles and helps her forget of the pressure on her back and stomach. Also, this is the most natural of postures to be able to give birth in and it is as though nature ordained it for you.
When you look at it from the perspective of the baby a waterbirth is highly beneficial to it as well. You will notice that the baby is used to water in the mother´s womb and therefore coming out into the world with water surrounding it is not such a frightening and traumatic experience for it. Also, the water all around ensures that the mother and baby are both relaxed and serene and able to bond together well enough immediately after birth. There are plenty of water birth videos out there to help you get an idea of the options
There are specialized birthing pools that have been created or else you can give birth right at home in your own bathtub supervised by a trained nurse or mid-wife. One thing to keep in mind is to talk to your doctor before you opt for a water birth as it is not always suited for complicated pregnancies and whatever type of birth you opt for make sure you consider your needs following the birth of your baby. Simple things like choosing the right nappies, cots, prams and making sure you get fit before and after your pregnancy can make all the difference.

Here's a look at a key matchup heading into the Packers' divisional playoff game against No. 1 seed Atlanta at the Georgia Dome Saturday evening:
Packers CB Tramon Williams vs. Falcons WR Roddy White
With Packers CB Charles Woodson likely to be spending more time in the slot concentrating on Falcons TE Tony Gonzalez, who was Atlanta's most effective receiving weapon in the Falcons' 20-17 victory over Green Bay in Week 12, look for Williams to be primarily entrusted with defending White in what shapes up as a potentially scintillating matchup.
Williams has continued to be the Packers' top defender down the stretch. He completely shut out Johnny Knox two weeks ago in the Week 17 win over the Bears, and he picked up where he left off last week in Philadelphia matched up mostly against DeSean Jackson, culminating a terrific effort with a last-minute leaping interception in the Packers' endzone.
In Week 12, Williams registered seven tackles, and White, a Pro Bowl selection for the third consecutive season, was held in check pretty effectively with five catches (he was targeted seven times) for only 49 yards, two less than Gonzalez.
White, who led the league in catches with 115 and finished second in receiving yards with 1,389, is a force both underneath and downfield, despite not being overly fast. Strong and physical, White has an uncanny knack for getting open and an excellent chemistry with QB Matt Ryan. He usually comes down with balls in traffic with his 41-inch vertical leap and presents a worthy challenge for Williams, whose anticipation and instincts have gotten better and better.

Ed Friend, the soldier, served in North Africa, participated in the invasion of Sicily, and then landed on Utah Beach on June 7, 1944, the day after D-day. He took part in the capture of Cherbourg, the breakthrough at St. Lo, the Battle of the Bulge, and the invasion of Germany. Friend received the Legion of Merit, the Croix de Guerre, and the European Campaign Ribbon with seven battle stars. After he was released from active duty with the rank of colonel he continued his military service in the Army Reserve and the Alabama National Guard, retiring with the rank of major general.
Following World War II Friend returned to Birmingham to practice law and he co-founded the firm now known as Sirote & Permutt. He was an expert in the fields of tax law and corporate and estate planning. General Friend was an outstanding lawyer but he is most fondly remembered for being an outstanding humanitarian.
Early in his career he founded, organized, and served as the first president of the Birmingham Legal Aid Society. He espoused improving race relations and worked tirelessly to that end. As president of the Birmingham Bar Association he publicly adopted as his goal the admission of black attorneys to that segregated organization. He served as president of the Birmingham Jewish Federation, the Family Counseling Association, the Birmingham Area Council of Boy Scouts, the Downtown Rotary Club, the Metropolitan Arts Council, and the 1982 Birmingham United Way Campaign.
General Friend was an unwavering supporter of the University of Alabama School of Law. He was an early organizer and president of the Law School Foundation and a co-founder of the Farrah Law Society. He devoted countless hours to fundraising for his alma mater.
As stated by Mason Davis in his nominating letter, "General friend knew instinctively what was fair, just, and honorable; he was a great role model who brought great dignity and civility to the profession he loved. He did the right things for the right reasons".

Virginia's alcohol stores racked in record profits in 2012. The ABC believes the surge in sales to restaurants and consumers pointed to improvements in the economy.
"In the worst of the recession, we saw alcohol sales to restaurants dip," said Becky Gettings, Public Affairs Director with the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). "Now consumers are having more drinks at dinner, rather than saying it's too expensive."
Total alcohol sales across the state reached $734 million in fiscal year 2012, up $41 million from the previous year. An increase in sales was also attributed to more ABC stores open on Sunday, when most food purchases are made.
"Sunday sales began in 2004, and now all but three of our 339 stores have Sunday hours," Gettings said in an interview Thursday. "People find it more convenient to do their shopping then and that has helped us."
Profits for ABC stores across the state reached $132.1 million. According to figures from the ABC, the Department gave a record $360 million to Virginia's general fund, supporting state services such as substance abuse prevention and treatment.
ABC stores reported 99 percent compliance in not selling to minors, an improvement from 98 percent in 2011.

Class ends at 11, and Berry discusses his recruitment three years ago out of Creekside High School in Fairburn, Ga., while waiting for a magazine shoot at Neyland Stadium. "I guess I just felt like Georgia thought they had me in the bag, and they didn't even know about me and I was in their backyard," Berry explains. "I remember when I went on my recruiting visit, coach (Mark) Richt had my name and stats written on his hand. I guess he thought I didn't see it or something, but I did. "They were talking to me about playing wide receiver; they didn't even know my position was safety and quarterback. That really made me upset. Coach Kiffin (who then was at Southern Cal), he came with Pete Carroll and the running backs coach and they knew all about me. And I was in Georgia's backyard. "But all the talk was about Caleb King (now a redshirt sophomore at Georgia battling for a starting job). I guess that's why I always favored Tennessee. They always recruited me hard and let me know what I meant to them. That hurt my feelings, I'm not even going to lie. But I love Mark Richt, love his staff. Him and coach (Rodney) Garner, because they're the ones that recruited me. They're both good men. I was just like, 'Dang.' I just felt like you need to be in your backyard. I just felt like (they) needed to know a little something about me. A few more phone calls or something."VolQuest.com - Berry's daily walk
The most radical Tennessee uniform came with the "Halloween jerseys" of 1963, orange with black numbers, uniforms that weren't a big hit.

Bryce Brown finally ended the extra-long soap opera that his signing had turned into on March 16. After committing to Miami, his recruitment was still wide open. Among his suitors were Oregon, Kansas State, LSU, Miami, who may or may not have retracted the offer, and Tennessee, who he decided to sign with. One of the reasons he decided to go with Tennessee over the others was that he felt they would get him to the NFL. He stated, "I thought they were the best school to prepare me for the next level." I had to laugh at that a little bit.Did Bryce Brown Make the Right Choice? | Bleacher Report
Kiffin started his speech by saying he would try not to offend anybody and try to be nice, but added that he was not as concerned about "ruffling a few feathers" at other SEC schools as he was about the fan base at UT. He also pointed out that when South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier questioned whether Kiffin had passed his recruiting test before going on the recruiting trail for UT he did not go complaining to the SEC commissioner. He fired back at Spurrier instead.Pearl has fun with Kiffin controversy : Football : GoVolsXtra.com
David Cutlciffe is not coming back to Tennessee: Should Tennessee make a change at head coach, and that is beginning to look more likely by the day, there has been speculation that David Cutcliffe, who served two terms as the Tennessee OC and is now the head coach at Duke (4-3) might return. It's understandable that Cutcliffe's name would come up. Here are the numbers: With Cutcliffe calling the plays, Phillip Fulmer's teams were 85-19. With somebody else calling the plays, the record is 65-31. But it's not going to happen. Cutcliffe and Fulmer are very close. The only way Cutcliffe comes back is if Fulmer gave his blessing and convinced him that it was for the good of the program. I know this has become a cutthroat business, but there is still a little loyalty left out there. Isn't there?Georgia-Florida IS a BCS elimination game | Mr. College Football
The Hit On October 11, 2008, the Tennessee Volunteers played the Georgia Bulldogs in Athens, Georgia. While the Tennessee Volunteers lost the game, Eric Berry walked away with an earth-shaking hit on tailback, Knowshon Moreno. The hit caused Knowshon to lose control of his bladder. After the hit, Knowshon laid down on the sideline while trainers patted his pants dry and made sure he capable of standing. As of the current day, Knowshon Moreno lives and can fortunately still use his motor functions, although it is rumored that he suffers from depression and self-confidence issues after the mind-blowing hit. Video of the above event can be found on YouTube.Eric Berry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Information deemed unsuitable for Wikipedia FTW
Hamilton said finances won't be an issue if a change is made. He said there is a $7 million reserve in place to cover such unforeseen expenses. That would nearly cover the cost of the football coaches' buyouts, which Hamilton said could be over $7.5 million. That figure depends on whether coaches are hired elsewhere. UT also will receive an extra $15 million from the SEC's new deal with television partner ESPN, which would give UT more flexibility to fire and hire coaches.Hamilton not afraid to make coaching change : Football : GoVolsXtra.com
If you read through the comments (which I've warned before not to do), you'll get a nice cross section of Tennessee fans and their opinions on the subject. The idea of using black on the uniforms was posted at some point, and that is where we discover that unfortunately, the old adage of opinions being like assholes holds true to this day. First off, you've got your traditionalists who don't like any messing with the traditional uniforms that were traditionally worn by traditional players in "traditional" times traditionally… tradition. Nevermind the fact that the "Power T" that we know and love today has only been traditional since the 70's, and also nevermind the fact that Tennessee has in fact, worn black as part of the color scheme for quite some time:Fulmer's Belly " Uniformity
No one will predict the Vols to win much of anything considering offensive coordinator David Cutcliff left to take over the head coaching gig at Duke, and four-year starting QB Erik Ainge is done, but Dave Clawson's offense worked by the end of spring ball and new starter Jonathan Crompton is a sharp, accurate passer who should grow into the type of leader who can carry a team. And then there's the schedule. It's brutal early with road trips to UCLA, Auburn and Georgia and a home date with Florida, but the Vols can win two of those, and if they win three, look out. The rest of the slate is relatively easy, the team should get much better as the year goes on, and once again, an under-the-radar run could lead the way to another SEC East title.Scout.com: Preview 2008 - CFN Tennessee Preview

It's funny how expectations can change in just a few weeks. The last time the Blues played the Blackhawks, up in Chicago, my expectation was a good game between two good teams. Of course, the two played a strangely boring game (repeatedly called "workmanlike" by announcers, which is code for "goddamn this is boring") that the Hawks won, with the game winning goal coming on an appropriately lame goal - a freak shot off Backes' skate.
Since then, the Blues have done nothing but answer the bell over and over and over, whether it be a long road stretch, multiple games on short schedule, whatever. The Hawks have been better since recovering from their nine-game losing streak, but the silverware is tarnished in their cabinet. No one fears the thin Blackhawks anymore, least of all these Blues.
Before the game, looking at the sixth-seed Hawks, I was hoping for a mauling. I wanted a 5-0 lead going into the third or an 8-1 win. I didn't get either, but the 5-1 win was satisfying enough. With help from Philadelphia, who beat Detroit, and Los Angeles, who beat Nashville, the Note are now tie-breaker free top of the Central Division and eight points up on those Predators.
If Vancouver would do us the service of losing to Dallas, St. Louis could wake up tomorrow to a Western Conference leading hockey team.
- Speaking of being the top dog in the conference, I think: bleh. I honestly don't care what is going on with the Rangers or the Canucks. The Presidents' Trophy, as we've seen, is a mirage. It seems like an oasis, a promise of good things to come, but in actuality it means nothing. I want the Blues to win the Central Division. That guarantees first or second in the conference, and that's good enough. Get away from a first round matchup against that nightmare in Nashville and I'll be happy. Let the Wings bash their heads in against that defense and that goalie first.
- I try to reserve these bullets for Blues issues, but we were talking about it tonight and I feel like it warrants a couple words: Blackhawk fans keep saying that Nick Leddy isn't great, but he's getting better. Tons of promise, they say. Future of the blueline, I hear. Frankly, I don't think so. I know he's a former first rounder and the big gain from the Cam Barker trade, but that kid always seems to be too small, too out of position and too loose with the puck. You keep saying he has promise, I guess I'll take your word for it. I just don't see it.
- On the other hand, I think the promise on the Blues' blueline is quite apparent. Kevin Shattenkirk is the player we hoped Erik Johnson would become (and likely never will). So what does that make Alex Pietrangelo? We all know Mike Babcock said Pietrangelo was touched by "The wand of God" whatever that is. Lacking a more fantastical description, I'm going to go ahead and agree with that bonehead.
- T.J. Oshie continues to play like he wants us all to go vote for him for mayor again. Skating, shooting, passing, hitting. It is an election year - maybe a couple more votes will come his way if he can keep it going.
- Remember when the Blues traded Doug Weight to Anaheim for Andy McDonald? I have to admit, at the time I didn't think much of it. Now, I can't help but think that Happy Meal is the motor that makes this machine go offensively. His speed is hard to contain and his playmaking is vastly underrated. By the way, did you see that second goal? Ray Emery didn't. Now if the team could just get Charlie Hustle Alex Steen back from the hyperbaric chamber and onto the ice, this team would be really exciting.
- Jaroslav Halak turns in yet another solid performance and gets yet another win, increases his save percentage and lowers his goals against average. Third star. Yawn. Brad Lee mad the point in tonight's paper that dude is the franchise goalie we've wanted here for decades. Agreed.
- David Backes got some love today from Puck Daddy as an underrated Hart Trophy candidate. Nice to see the recognition for the man who does everything, but he might not even win MVP of his team, let alone the NHL. And he is a monster that other teams have no answer for physically.
- Vladimir Sobotka is a lucky little leprechaun. I know he's not Irish and he's not really little, but that guy is good luck. On a team full of hard workers, no one outworks him. On a team full of hard-nosed bastards, no one is harder than him. So when he makes a move like he did to score his goal, making Ray Emery looking like he ran into an invisible wire fence in his own crease, it makes us fans jump extra high and slap hands extra hard.
Back at it on Thursday. For tonight, here is your place to celebrate. Do dat. Blues post-game speech below:

Some would say hockey is in 8-year-old Braxton Powers'
"I saw some pictures of my dad when he used to play for
the IceCaps, and I thought I'd try it," said Braxton, a member of the
Junior Hurricanes
Braxton's father, Jimmy Powers, played five years for the
Raleigh IceCaps, ending his career as the team's third leading scorer all time.
Yet, despite his dad playing professionally, it took a certain event to sway
young Braxton to the sport.
"He got the Hurricanes-itch back in the day when the
[Stanley] Cup came," Powers recalled. "He got Cup crazy at 2 years
old -- we got a nice picture of him with the Cup.
And from that moment on, Braxton was hooked. Baseball and
golf -- two sports he excels at -- eere pushed aside and hockey became his
Lincoln Flagg coached the elder Powers as well as NHL
players Bill Guerin, Ron Hainsey and Mike Komisarek; he now coaches Braxton and
says the 8-year-old is a natural.
"Some of those genes have rubbed off on Braxton,"
Flagg said. "He is just a natural talent -- very gifted -- he lives the
And that natural talent shows.
Hours upon hours of ice time is not enough for an elite
player. Off ice drills help augment a young player's development, and those
sessions are becoming more and more common.
"They [practice] on their off nights," Powers
said. "It's competitive now. The edge is the edge, and these are the
things that help them keep the edge."
On-ice work, off-ice drills, homework, time with friends: it
seems like a lot to heap upon an 8-year-old boy. But Braxton is unfazed by the
demands. He's got a plan.
"I just think about working on my game to get better so
that I can live my dream -- being on an NHL team," Braxton said.
His dad knows about those dreams. He had them as well.
"Dream the dream," Powers said. "Every kid,
let them have that.
"I had that one time when a teacher told me that would
never happen, so it was a push for me. I said, 'We'll see.'"
Powers fell one step short of reaching that dream as he
climbed the ladder through his minor league career. His former coach thinks
Braxton could one day possibly fulfill his dream.
"I think Braxton has some big shoes to fill, but I
wouldn't put it by him by watching him today," Flagg said.

Words from Mike
Published on Wednesday, 30 November -0001 00:00
Hits: 125
By Mike Nistler
Many years ago, when I was a young newspaper reporter, I was approached by the Watkins Centennial Committee and asked if I would write a history book for the community's centennial celebration.
In all honesty and full disclosure, I was not the committee's first choice. That person was the Rev. Vincent Yzermans, who was a noted local historian and author of several history books for area communities and churches. However, Yzermans was getting older and did not wish to pen any more history books. He suggested that I might be a good substitute author. Yzermans, who has since passed and is now chronicling life in heaven, knew I was a writer and had grown up in the area.
I was honored, and overwhelmed. I agreed and wrote my first book, "The First 100 Years of Watkins."
A year later, when Eden Valley was looking for a writer to chronicle its first 100 years, the centennial committee thought it was only natural that I be given the opportunity to write their history as well. I agreed and wrote my second book, "The Valley of Eden."
Recently, my friend and former high school classmate, Tri-County News Editor and Publisher Jean Doran Matua, called and asked if I would do some writing for her. I agreed and, thus, these words of introduction.
I have always been closely connected to the Kimball and Watkins and Eden Valley communities, long before my writing days began.
My father, Jerome Nistler, was born in a house in Eden Valley in 1924. His parents were Henry and Mathilda Nistler. His grandfather was Charles Nistler, a carpenter who had a hand in building some of the churches in the Eden Valley, Watkins, Pearl Lake areas.
Pearl Lake was where my father farmed. That is where I went to elementary school at Holy Cross Catholic School.
I graduated from Kimball High School, but played town team baseball for the Pearl Lake Lakers. Our rivals were Kimball, Watkins, Eden Valley, St. Nicholas, Rockville and St. Augusta among others.
I remember playing one of my first town-team games against Eden Valley and the likes of Pete Werner and Rube Nathe. I thought I knew how to play baseball but, on that day, I learned a lot playing against those veterans - especially to watch out for the high-tight fastball on an 0-2 count.
Speaking of town-team baseball, when I wrote the history book for Watkins, a former first-baseman named Eugene McCarthy wrote the introduction for the book. McCarthy went on to a successful career in politics including a presidential run in 1968.
One of the first stories I ever had published in a newspaper was in the Tri-County News, in the late 1970s when I did a historical feature on Powder Ridge Ski Area. I wrote the headline, which I think still stands as one of my most clever: Powder Ridge: Moraine than snow. A moraine is a deposit of sand and gravel left behind by a glacier, which is exactly what happened to form Powder Ridge. In addition, I was going for the play on words, more rain than snow ... get it?
The name Mike Nistler is a common one in Eden Valley and Watkins history. One of the earliest settlers in Eden Valley was named Michael Nistler, and he earned the nickname "Uncle Mike." And while my stories may put some people to sleep, "Uncle Mike" did more than that: he was an "Undertaker and Embalmer," as an early newspaper advertisement read.
Names always make interesting feature stories. One of the stories I wrote for the St. Cloud Times had everything to do about a name, not mine but that of Mary Ruhland. You see, back in the 1980s there were at least three women in the area with the name Mary Ruhland. I wrote a feature about how confusing that was for some people, including the new foreign exchange student who arrived in town and the first two people she met were named Mary Ruhland. The poor student began thinking that every woman in town was named Mary Ruhland.
Since my newspaper days, I have gone on to do freelance work as well as publish Minnesota Moments Magazine. Some of you are subscribers to that publication. For those of you who have not discovered Minnesota Moments, you can visit www.minnesota
Now that I am writing an occasional story or two for the Tri-County News, maybe I will get to meet some of you and "tell" your story. If you have a good story to tell, or know of someone who does, send me an e-mail: mnistler@

This Week's Free Download
Free download: Viktoria Mullova plays Bach
This free download is no longer available. Please visit the free download page for this week's track.
This week's free download is the opening movement of the Violin Concerto in E BWV 1042
The track comes from a four-star recording of Bach Violin Concertos performed by violinist Viktoria Mullova with Accademia Bizantina and conductor Ottavio Dantone.
The recording, on the Onyx label, was given four stars by our critic George Pratt in BBC Music Magazine.
He said: 'The two violin concertos are full of subtle detail in dynamics and phrasing – the orchestral motifts emerging and retreating in the middle section of BWV 1042 are captivating, and the stillness of the adagio is breathetaking.'

Al Gore at Stanford: 'Democracy has been hacked'
Original post made on Apr 25, 2013

> The U.S. news media was "utterly wrong about the Iraq war"
> and "does not inform people about serious issues," Gore said.
So the former Vice-President, the man who "invented the Internet" and has made hundreds of millions of dollars hawking "climate change"although he has never taken a science classhas now sold his failed cable TV channel (Current TV) to Al Jazeera for $500M:
Web Link
Al-Jazerra announced Jan. 3 that it would pay $500 million for San Francisco-based Current TV.
Terenzio alleges he first brought the idea of the Qatar-owned Al-Jazeera's purchase of Current TV to board member Richard Blum in July, and he expected to be paid if his plan was used. The lawsuit claims Blum was open to the plan, which Terenzio laid out with a detailed PowerPoint presentation but feared Gore would find such a deal with the oil-rich government of Qatar "politically unappealing."
No doubt Mr. Gore is convinced that Al Jazeera will now tell the American people "the truth" that the US media won't.
Thank you, Al Gore, for saving us from ourselves!
By the way, Mr. Gore--the US is a Republic, which is somewhat different than a "democracy".

Rupert Murdoch is the devil. Just saying.

To the first commenter above: Rather than attacking the messenger, please - I implore you - pay attention to his message. It is a critically important message for Palo Alto, the nation, the world and future generations. You ignore it at your peril - and mine, and our kids' and grandkids'. I don't know if Mr. Gore attended science classes, but his message comes from thousand of scholars who have attended many science classes and in many cases teach them.
Please wake up and stop denying this message.

Located just East of the town of Ten Sleep, Wyoming (population - less than 300) there are probably more climbers in Ten Sleep canyon on any given day of the Summer than live in this sleepy little Cowboy town. Once a little known backwater, Ten Sleep may now be the premier limestone climbing area in Wyoming.
Getting There
Approaching from the East, pass through the town of Buffalo and take HWY 16 across the Big Horns. On the downside of Powder River Pass you will go down a few miles until you cross Tensleep Creek. The parking area for Mondo Beyondo is here, just after the bridge on the north side of the road.

It's been a while since we've done a web tools run down, so over the next few weeks, we will look at a few items that have popped up since the last go around. This week, let's look at two new color tools.
First off is Kuler from Adobe. Supposedly pronounced "color," Kuler is a Flash-based interface for choosing color schemes and palettes, as well as an excellent teaching tool for lessons on color theory. Kuler enables you to choose a starting hue and a set of color relationships, and then automatically generate a color scheme of harmonious shades. It also features a community site and easy functionality for saving your creations (once you have registered for an account), but my favorite tool is the "Create from Image" tool. It allows you to select an image from Flickr or upload one of your own and use it to generate a wide variety of color palettes related to the image's composition.
The second tool is the Multicolr Search Lab from Idée Inc, which is a tool set for searching Flickr's enormous image library by color. Given a palette to choose from, Multicolr allows you to add 10 colors to a search list. It then mines Flickr for images with those same colors. This tool is ideal for inspirational research in situations where you have a palette dictated by other elements of the production. Idée Labs also seems to be working on two other search tools that use image recognition in combination with color information and image tags to return better image results than ever before, but they don't seem to be working yet.
Can't wait to see them when they are finished.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to restrict traffic to one lane on the KY 56/Illinois Route 13 Ohio River Bridge at Shawneetown on Tuesday.
The lane restriction is because of electrical work being done on the bridge solar powered navigation lights.
Officials say drivers can expect to encounter one lane traffic with alternating flow controlled by flaggers starting about 9 a.m. on Tuesday. Delays should be minimal, generally less than 4 minutes.
Drivers should also be prepared to encounter slowing and stopped traffic on the bridge.
The work is expected to be complete by about 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
The Shawneetown Bridge connects KY 56 (Morganfield-Shawneetown Road) at the 0 mile marker with Illinois Route 13 across the Ohio River between Morganfield, Kentucky, and Shawneetown, Illinois.
Officials say about 3800 vehicles cross the bridge in an average day.
