By DonJan
from Cochrane, AB, Canada
I bought this bamboo basket for Christmas of 2012 for my daughter and for my son and daughter-in-law, and they liked it so much I bought it again as a January birthday gift for my sister and she was very happy with it. Pluses for me were the fact that it was on sale and that bamboo is a renewable resouce.

Cute basket; poor customer service
By Mama Stech

Product was given as a gift. Easy to set up. Looks very nice. Had a bit of an odor to it that will hopefully dissipate. Would recommend the product, just not this vendor. Please read my service comments.

Great Gift Item
By Kaccr
from Yuba City, CA
I purchased the bamboo apple basket as a gift. It is large enough to use as a fruit bowl or in a guest bath with lotions, shampoo, etc. It folds flat for easy storage when not is use. The bamboo is sturdy with a nice soft color.

Peter King reports that the Eagles are talking to "at least two teams in the mid-round neighborhood." One of those teams might be the Dallas Cowboys.

How did we get here? How did the man from Arkansas successfully bring about the demise of the NFL's favorite sons, the Dallas Cowboys? Better question, when will he go away?
Starting with O. Should be a multi part series.
Does anyone else find it amusing that Jerry Jones routinely has trouble stringing two coherent sentences together? If the man's strategic thinking is as confused as his English, is it any wonder the Cowboys are where they are after 20 years of his "leadership"? Here's a partial transcript of his interview on 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday. I dare you to get it all in one reading: So much expectations. Everything on the line. What went wrong against the Giants? "First of all and this can be a familiar story too: We get behind 21 points. We have to move away from a more balanced attack that we would have preferred with running a little more. We obviously didn't get many yards in the game and most of it through the air, but we had to get off our mark a little bit there because of the early mistakes that we made. That again will happen and when it does you are behind the 8-ball immediately and that was a shame because we all saw what those plays were. In general I thought that was the wrong way to start the game and ultimately kept us from being as successful as we had all dreamed would be." Do you believe the Giants were truly the better team? "Well I must say what it is what it is. They won the two games. One here and one there. We think when you look at match ups across the board – I was looking at some things this morning. Of course it is so disappointing to have… [Tony] Romo was the actual 4th rated passer in the entire NFL and to not be in that playoff? That's terribly disappointing. I wouldn't have thought that would happen. Defensively we had some things we would like to do over again, but still we were 16th in the NFL. You look at the teams – we look at that are going to be in these playoffs. You see New Orleans is the number one offense. New England is second. Green Bay. Then you have Philadelphia. Detroit. San Francisco. Green Bay is 32nd on defense. New England is 31st on defense. The Giants are 27th. We show up well enough to be in this playoff. That is frustrating." Was this season a failure? "I think it's disappointing. That is the bigger word for me. Our goals were always first to get into the playoffs. Secondly, to go far into the playoffs and so in short I would have thought if we could have ended up improved on defense, which we were and we would end up offensively…I think we were 10th or 11th offensively. We had the 4th rated quarterback in the NFL. We were healthy. I thought our offense line was really improved. We were able to come in there with some newer players at some long term positioning with our offensive line as a unit. We were able to get in there. We were down on penalties. We were down on mental mistakes. You put that all together I thought we should have been in better shape than we were. More often then not when you are in the kind of shape we were in statistically you are doing better in the playoffs." Do you expect Rob Ryan to be back? "I do. Yes." Would you consider bringing Bill Polian into the front office? "The thing you gotta realize is that when you have an owner that is full-time as the owner then you create a situation where you got as much turnover at GM at the coaching level. I think that just deters from the mix. I call on the very same kinds of influence on the people and information that someone like Bill Polian…I have know him for years and served on the competition committee with him for 10 years. The answer is: I have a lot of respect for him. [Host: Look Jerry you've answered this question a million times] I'll answer it again for you: The way we are structured and the way it is. Our fans need to understand that I have the ability to go get anybody and any bit of information that there is. Sports or football. I do and I'll go get it. We get it from a lot of sources. We get it from a lot of sources evaluating football players. We get it from evaluating coaches. There won't be an offensive scheme. There won't be a defensive scheme in the National Football League that we don't totally evaluate during the off-season and make decisions relative to what other people are doing and relative to what we are doing."http://sportsradiointerviews.com/2012/01/04/dallas-cowboys-offseason-bill-polian-jerry-jones-jason-garrett/
Really great and funny thoughts on the loss to NY and where the Boys go from here. On Tony Romo: The national media would start here if they weren't utterly consumed with fellating the league's most comically inept passer and orphan circumciser, so I'll pick up the slack for them. A few will still find time this week to pin the loss on Romo for missing an open Miles Austin for what would have been the game-winning TD, but when you put up a stat line of 21/31, 321 yards, 4 TDs and no picks you're not going to come in for a ton of blame in my book. That throw and a couple of other deep misses to Laurent Robinson were blemishes, but he fired some on-the-money frozen ropes to Austin to set up what should have been the game-tying FG and his ability to buy time in the pocket led to his wide-open bombs to Robinson and Dez.

The Dark Side
"Youre not free until youve been made captive by supreme belief."
Marianne Moore
Realizing that he had uncovered a much larger case than that of a missing person, Vandagriff notified the Indianapolis Police Department. While the police had earlier sent Tony and his incredulous story packing, Virgil took Tony Harris and his information to the one person in the department whom he believed would see the value in the tale. She was the no-nonsense detective Mary Wilson who, Vandagriff knew, was already working on a number of other missing persons cases. He found in her a ready ear.
Mary Wilson, dark-haired, pretty and in her mid-forties, had steadfastly worked her way up through the ranks of the Indianapolis Police Department, from "beat cop" to detective. She had served in the sex crimes division, where she quickly learned the pathology of sexual criminals and the abberations connected with their acts. By the time she transferred to Missing Persons, she realized that people arent always as they seem on the surface.
"Mary liked almost everything about missing persons cases," says authors Fannie Weinstein and Melinda Wilson in Where the Bodies Are Buried. "The sense of closure that came with finding people. Talking to family members and friends. Retracing someones steps. Following every lead to its logical end, like unraveling all the threads in a piece of cloth. It was the purest kind of police work there was, as far as she was concerned."
In fact, she had been the principal investigator in the Jeff Jones disappearance, the case that Vandagriff had read about in the Indiana Word and whose details matched so closely with those of the missing persons reports for Roger Goodlet and Alan Broussard. Mary, as it turned out, was investigating disappearances of other Indianapolis men, too. Those of 20-year-old Richard Hamilton, 21-year-old Johnny Bayer, 28-year-old Allan Livingstone, and others dating back to the early 90s. All homosexuals.
Mary recognized Tony Harris as perhaps the long-lost "connection" that might help tie these many disappearances into one nutshell. He had actually survived a night with the possible killer and was willing to talk about his experience, in all its sordid and mind-bending details. Repeating his story to Mary, he then accompanied her on the prowl through the northern suburbs to find the scene of his "nightmare". Pulling into one gateway after another, none of the private manors struck a familiar chord. And in the meantime, Mary designated plainclothesmen to field the gay bars in town the 501 Club, the Varsity and Our Place where they talked to the bar owners and their frequenters for information that might identify the elusive kidnapper and throttler.
"Get me this guys license plate number," she told Tony, "and well take it from there." Quote Fannie Weinstein and Melinda Wilson, "(Mary) wasnt sure Tony could come up with the number. But he and his friends had a better shot at it than she did. They were in the bars, and there was the chance that Brian might show up again there."
Tony still continued to drop in at Vandagriffs office to speak randomly to Connie Pierce, with whom he felt a bond. Open-minded and sympathetic, Connie also matched her boss perception of crime fighting in that all pursuits are fair game. While Vandagriff utilized all the high-technology components of law enforcement, Connie knew that he wasnt beyond using such means as hypnosis, for instance, to help solve some 300 crimes.
It was Connies idea to call a friend of hers, a psychic named Wanda, who lived in Ohio. She related the facts derived from the tape recordings that Vandagriff had made of Tonys interviews in hopes that Wanda might shed some light on the whereabouts of the house with the mannequins. While she couldnt pinpoint a location, Wandas words made Connie shudder:
"I see a man tied to a bed, handcuffed, spread-eagled. I see pictures being taken while he is being strangled. The tongue is swollen, quite long coming out of his mouth. And the eyes oh! Thats a hell house! Tell Tony never to go there again!"
Impressed with the womans dramatic warning, Vandagriff continued to check on the houses identity through more routine means.
"My clients had paid me what they could afford to investigate the disappearances of their sons, and even though the Indianapolis police had taken up the case I felt like I just couldnt drop it in their laps and walk away," he explains. "The money I was paid had long been used up on equipment and man-salary, but that didnt matter; when I feel Im onto something...well, thats my nature. Hey, I knew we were talking murder here," he deliberates, "the existence of a what I smelled as a serial killer."
He dispatched one of his investigators, Bill Hilzley, who had been a state trooper for many years and knew the highways and byways of the Indianapolis area, to search the country suburbs. His quest brought him to a property sign at the end of a long driveway in Westfield marked, "Fox Hollow Farms." He was aware of Tony Harris statement about seeing a sign outside Brians house that read "Farms" something, and thought he would investigate.
The estate Hilzley came upon greatly resembled Tonys description, large, run down and morbid. Nobody seemed to be home, so he parked his Isuzu and peered through several windows hoping to catch sight of an indoor pool or to smell the sharp odor of chlorine. Knowing that he was stretching the legalities of his job, he didnt tarry, but felt sure that this might be the place that Tony had visited. It belonged, he found out, to a family named Baumeister. Vandagriff ordered aerial shots made of the property. When he showed the photos to Tony, however, the latter digested them a moment before replying, "No, I dont think so...the driveway is too short from what I remember it to be."

I am so excited to share with you a fun gift idea AND an awesome giveaway today. I LOVE homemade gifts that are functional AND pretty at the same time. I like to give things that I would actually like to receive as a gift myself…like this Homemade Bath Salts Gift Set.
The Bath Salts are really easy to make and just take a few simple, easy to find ingredients. And, if you like to take baths, you know how yummy smelling they can make your bath water. Plus the salts have some great healing and soothing aspects for your skin.
These Homemade Bath Salts also contain some awesome doTerra Essential Oils. These essential oils also have multiple benefits and uses depending on the type of Essential Oil you use.
First, let's give you the recipe. It is the same Homemade Bath Salts Recipe I have shared with you when I first started blogging.
Homemade Bath Salts Recipe:
3 cups Epsom Salt
2 cups Baking Soda
1 cup Table Salt
Food or soap coloring (optional)
Scented Essential Oils (2-4 drops)
If you want more than one scent and color, separate into different bowls before adding the color and scent. Then you can have 2-3 different choices to choose from. Let the bath salts dry for 24 hours before placing them into your decorative jars.
I chose not to use any coloring as I wanted all of the jars to be similar and fresh and clean looking. I used doTerra's Lemon, Lavendar, and Peppermint Essential Oils for my jars. You follow the directions for each flavor of Bath Salt and then just add the Essential Oil of your choice.
I haven't talked much about doTerra's Essential Oils but I have been using them since April and have fallen in love with them. You might have noticed that I have used them in a few of my past posts recently. (Chocolate Cinnamon Bread, Peppermint Candy Cane Scrub, Lemon Sugar Scrub) The thing I love about them is that almost all of doTerra's essential oils are food-grade oils which means you can take them internally and use them safely on your skin.
I have been getting my oils from Julie Crowell, an Independent doTerra Consultant who and a fellow fan of The Idea Room. (I knew there was a reason I liked her ;)!! She is currently an Idea Room Sponsor and wants to give One Lucky Idea Room Reader…
an Introductory Set of 3 doTerra Essential Oils
(Lemon, Lavendar, and Peppermint).
If you have questions about each of the oils, you can click on their names for more information about the benefits of each oil by clicking on each of their names above. Julie has also offered to talk to any of you if you have specific questions on her FB page or by sending her an email ([email protected]).
To enter, simply follow the directions in the Rafflecopter box below.
Want to print out the labels I used here? Simply click on this link to get access to the Free Bath Salts Labels.
And since many of you will ask, the bottles are Starbucks Vanilla Frappacino Drinks. They came with the cute little carrier in a set of 4. And I found them at my local Target. I know…we LOVE Target!
You can buy high quality/food grade Essential Oils from my favorite DoTerra Rep here: DoTerra's Essential Oils
Julie Crowell is so helpful and is happy to answer any questions you may have. Her contact information is on her site or you can email her at [email protected]

Citrus Bliss Sugar Scrub Cubes
*This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Julie Crowell, who is an Independent Consultant for doTerra's Essential Oils. I was given some essential oils to review. However, the opinions and text are all mine. Contest runs December 14-18, 2012. A random winner will be selected and will be given 48 hours to claim their prize before a new winner is chosen.

Okay ... that was then. Let's fast forward to now. Where is the economic collapse? The stock market is booming. Yes, there have been some government program cut-backs, but the sky didn't fall.
In my opinion, the sequester is good for government. It sends a signal that government is subject to "reality economics".
Incidentally, I don't think any part of the government should be exempt. Enforcement, military, shrink them all. I'm tired of my tax bill causing me high blood pressure.

If everyone is certain one thing is going to happen, that's exactly what is NOT going to happen. Who predicted the stock market crash in 2000, the housing bubble, etc.... The prediction of rampaging inflation that never happened. The media is manipulated to get you to believe and act one way so the 1% ers can take more of your money. That is why you should buy stocks when they are low and sell when they are high but most people do just the opposite.

thank you for sharing...

Millions of impoverished kids are eating less, but thank god the economy hasn't collapsed. If the sequester has meant merely that more kids are going to bed hungry at night, heck, let's cut some more! My tax dollar is far more important to me than some poor kids who'll probably end up in jail anyway.

SW: I've been lucky enough to see it two other times. The fortunate thing is that it works. It works beautifully. Everybody's going to bring their own personality to it. There was a wonderful production in San Francisco [at Magic Theatre] just before this production. Henny Russell starred. She's understudying in New York. She was wonderful in San Francisco. So I'm not concerned about it.
How did the play get to Broadway?
SW: Manhattan Theatre Club had seen the script in an earlier form and had always loved the play. And after the MCC run ended they felt that they wanted to bring the play to a larger audience. So I feel very fortunate about that too. Because the MCC run was difficult to end. We felt we had built a wonderful experience. We're all very happy that it has been able to have this much larger second life.
How do you feel about having a play on Broadway?
SW: It feels on one hand incredible and on the other hand unbelievable. I think every playwright ultimately wants a play on Broadway or wonders how it would be to have a play on Broadway. But few get the chance. So I just feel really fortunate to be involved with the people I've been involved with who've been such advocates of the play.
Were there many changes between MCC and Broadway?
SW: I did some changes. I would say there were few changes but crucial ones. There's a lot of medical language in the play, and after conversations with Joe [Mantello] and with Manhattan Theatre Club I did some trims on that medical language just to pull the medical aspect of the play back and pull Juliana's, the protagonist's, story forward. It's a very lean script. I think what occurred because of [the changes] was a very large result.

Tim Byrnes is in his eighth year as the head baseball coach at Hamilton College. Byrnes guided the Continentals to a program-record 16 wins in 2013 and he has coached Hamilton to 72 victories so far.
Two of Byrnes' players have received a total of three NESCAC all-conference honors and Gabe Klein made the D3baseball.com all-region team in 2012. Three student-athletes made the 2013 NESCAC Spring All-Academic Team. Hamilton players led the conference in stolen bases, walks and saves last year, and the Continentals topped the NESCAC with a school-record 85 swipes.
Byrnes led Hamilton to three straight years of 10-plus wins for the first time in program history from 2008 to 2010. Byrnes' players hold program records for most runs, hits, doubles, total bases, strikeouts, innings pitched and highest batting average and on-base percentage in a career. The Continentals are 4-2 in the Jackie Robinson Game against Utica College under Byrnes.
Byrnes was the head coach at Morrisville State College in 2005 and 2006. One Morrisville player was selected a National Junior College Association of America (NJCAA) Division III All-American in 2006. The All-America award was the first in program history. Byrnes' players earned two NJCAA academic All-America and two academic all-region honors.
Byrnes earned two varsity letters as an outfielder on the St. Lawrence University baseball team. He graduated with a degree in sports and leisure studies and a minor in education. Byrnes is from Cazenovia, N.Y.
Danny Barth is in his second year as an assistant coach with the Hamilton College baseball team. Barth graduated from Lewis & Clark College in 2004. He was a four-year letter winner and a three-year starter at catcher, and occasionally played first base and right field. Barth served as an assistant baseball coach at his alma mater, Rex Putnam High School, prior to beginning graduate school.
Barth earned his master's degree and Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University in 2012. He currently serves as an assistant professor in the department of economics at Hamilton.
Andrew Wall is in his first year with the Hamilton College baseball staff. He pitched for two years in professional baseball with the independent Alpine (Texas) Cowboys and the Auburn Doubledays (short-season Class A affiliate of the Washington Nationals).
Wall earned Pecos League all-star honors with the Alpine Cowboys, and helped the team win the league's regular season and postseason championships. At Auburn, he was part of a team that won the 2012 Leo Pinckney Division title.
In four years at Division III Ithaca College, Wall was a two-time Empire 8 Conference all-star. He helped the Bombers win a pair of conference championships and make two trips to the NCAA regionals. Wall volunteered with Ithaca's coaching staff in 2012 and 2013 when the Bombers earned NCAA postseason bids both seasons. Ithaca placed third in the Division III World Series in 2013. Wall earned his bachelor's degree in sociology with a focus in criminal justice.

They should follow Obama's lead and hold press conferences to say, "We can't wait" for Congress to act (the way they wish), so they will act in Congress' stead.
And, yes, all of this would be both dangerous and absurd.
Those who are complaining about the sheriffs are correct. The Daily Kos is correct to assert that government officials should be "servants of the law," not its masters.
But why are they surprised? When this kind of conduct comes from the top, it trickles down. That is the really dangerous, frightening thing.
It is not just that the president decided, on his own, that he would not enforce laws on immigration, marriage and other issues that he had sworn an oath to uphold. He won't even enforce the law he fought to pass – his signature health care law.
By most estimates, Obama has now modified that law at least 14 times without the consent of Congress. While he and his acolytes regularly remind opponents of Obamacare that it is "settled law," they ignore, delay or modify its provisions to grant waivers to favored groups or delay any that are politically inconvenient.
One of the most recent – and mind boggling – was the announcement that those with canceled insurance plans would now be allowed to buy cheaper, so-called "catastrophic" plans - the exact kinds of plans that that have been banned by the law and ridiculed as "substandard."
In this country, the rule has always been: If you don't like the law, work to change it. The president and his party have changed that to: If you don't like the law, ignore it.
They can't really blame the sheriffs for following their example.

Florida State had a disappointing year on the field, missing out on the ACC championship game and finishing with a 9-4 record. But that hasn't slowed down the Seminoles on the recruiting trail. Florida State has fifteen commitments, and is looking at add as many as seven more. The 'Noles could have as many as 14 commitments come to Tallahassee this weekend.
One such player visiting the 'Noles is defensive end Leonard Williams. Florida State has offered Williams, but it's undetermined whether FSU actually has room to take him. Williams is one of the best defensive ends in the country, but the 'Noles already have commitments from three of the top six defensive ends in the country.
Florida State would absolutely have room for cornerback Ronald Darby, who recently decommitted from Notre Dame. Darby is one of the fastest players in the country. The 'Noles have an excellent track team as well, and that's attractive to Darby. From Maryland, Darby is also considering Clemson and the Terrapins.
The 'Noles certainly need help on the offensive line, and that may come in the form of JUCO offensive tackle Menelik Watson. Watson plays for Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, Calif. Watson came to the U.S. from England as a basketball recruit, bulked up, and has played only a year of football. But with offers from the 'Noles, Auburn and Oregon, he has plenty of interest. The 6'7", 312-pound tackle is an excellent athlete. He visited Auburn on December 16th and Washington on December 10th. Auburn is considered his leader.
The 'Noles are also expecting a visit from a pair of defensive backs in Colin Blake and A.J. Leggett. Blake is committed to Texas A&M, but may be open to a switch. Leggett committed to Miami, decommitted and committed to Florida State, then decommitted and committed back to Miami. He then decommitted from the 'Canes. Leggett attended four different South Florida high schools in his career, and may have an issue qualifying at Florida State. If he doesn't make it in, Marshall is an option. But he had a monster senior year, and Florida State will give him every shot to qualify.
Also joining the group of uncommitted prospects is receiver Nelson Agholor. Out of Tampa's Berkeley Prep, Agholor is one of the most sought-after recruits in the country. He's a great athlete and electric with the ball in his hands. Agholor is thought to be favoring Florida, with Notre Dame and USC also contending. This would be a shocking pull if the 'Noles can sway him.
Joining them on the trip will be a host of Florida State commitments, including defensive end Mario Edwards, defensive back P.J. Williams, quarterback Sean Maguire, tight end Christo Courtizidis, defensive end Dante Fowler Jr., and linebacker Markuss Eligwe.

Once she was able to level the final set at 6-6, Petra Kvitova quickly finished out her quarterfinal with Kaia Kanepi, beating the Estonian qualifier 4-6, 7-6(8), 8-6 to make her first career grand slam semifinal.
Except for on Kanepi's match points, I never lost the feeling that Kvitova was going to win this match. Not only is her game superior to Kanepi's—her self-belief is as well.
Kvitova has ousted an incredible roster of players to make this final, of which, ironically, Kanepi is the least prestigious. She beat Sorana Cirstea, Zheng Jie, Victoria Azarenka, and Caroline Wozniacki on her way to the quarterfinals, each of whom has previously made a grand slam quarterfinal (or better).
Kvitova will have her hands more than full against Serena Williams in the semifinals, but might be able to catch Williams off guard if Serena believes all the talk about how the title is already hers. Kvitova still won't win in that event, but she would at least be able to make things significantly more interesting.

As the Los Angeles Kings systematically dismantled the home-standing Phoenix Coyotes Tuesday night in Game 2 of the Western Conference Final, three plays defined the Coyotes' truculence.
Those three plays might also define any chance the Coyotes have to get back into this series, one that appears lost after only two games.
Los Angeles won the game, 4-0, and exactly half of the goal damage was done thanks in large part to the Coyotes' lack of discipline. Trying to hit your way into a game isn't always going to work, and it backfired big-time on the hosts Tuesday.
Late in the second period, already short-handed, Phoenix captain Shane Doan was guilty of a boarding major on Kings forward Trevor Lewis. Seconds earlier, L.A. captain Dustin Brown had his stick broken on a slash by veteran Daymond Langkow. Already facing a two-man disadvantage, Phoenix' misery was extended when Doan was called for a major and ejected from the game.
(No, we're not here to argue the call on Langkow. It was a terrible one, especially given what Los Angeles got away with on the Coyotes' second power play, which was a lot.)
There are a lot of moving parts on this call. Lewis was bloodied and had to leave the game briefly. He was clearly hit from behind from a vulnerable spot and went hard into the boards.
However, Lewis also turned right before the contact. I thought Doan did try to limit the contact, but Lewis turned so late that it was going to be a lot to ask for Doan to do that. It was a hard hit, and by the letter of the law, it was probably called correctly.
Doesn't mean I like it. I don't like seeing players turn at the last second when they know a hit is coming. Lewis should be bracing for contact, not turning to face the boards, whether he's legitimately trying to play the puck or not. Yes, a hitting player has the onus to make sure he throws a clean, legal body check. But the player taking the hit has a responsibility, too. That responsibility is to not put himself in a vulnerable position when he knows a hit is coming.
That might not be something on-ice officials can account for when making a call without the benefit of replay, but it certainly is something the Department of Player Safety can look at.
Doan shouldn't be suspended for this hit, and I don't think he will be.
On the other hand, Martin Hanzal might not play again this season. In the third period, Hanzal provided the DPS with a great blueprint for what a flagrant boarding penalty looks like.
Pretty sure I don't need to go over this one very much.
Hanzal sees the "23" and "BROWN" on the back of the captain's jersey from at least the top of the faceoff circle all the way down to the point of impact. Unlike Doan, who hit a guy who turned at the last second, Hanzal had plenty of time to avoid or minimize this hit. Instead, he maxmized it, which strikes as "intent to injure" when you account for the time left (nine minutes), the score (3-0, L.A.), and the series situation (Kings have a stranglehold on it).
No excuses on this one, and I'd be shocked if Hanzal didn't get at least one game. He probably deserves two or three, which could very easily end his season with the way things are going.
Finally, we must discuss the antics of Phoenix goalie Mike Smith. When he wasn't allowing knuckleball shots by Jeff Carter to go in with his team only down one goal, or bus-chucking his teammates after the game, he was trying to chop down an oak tree. Or perhaps Dustin Brown.
Hilariously, Brown was called for diving, along with Smith getting a slashing minor.
I don't know that this is a suspendable offense, especially for a goalie, but why not? It's a pretty blatant and hard shot directed at Brown's knee. It's also either a move borne out of frustration, or a move meant to send some sort of message.
Either way, it'd be nice to send the message to Smith that this kind of garbage has no place in the game.
Instead, what will probably happen is Hanzal will get a game or two, and no one else will get anything more than what penalties were called during the game.
If Doan plays in Game 3, he'll probably be asked to fight someone, and all will be well. Smith will keep playing, and I doubt we'll see a goalie fight during the series.
Then again, if they want ratings to go up for this seemingly non-competitive series ... (yes, I'm kidding.)

Reviving Ancient Scythopolis The ancient Roman-Byzantine city of Scythopolis in Israel was destroyed in 749 CE by an earthquake, but new life has been given to the area thanks to a multi-sensory multimedia project in the nearby archeological site of Beit She'an.
The $3 million project is a joint initiative of Israel's Ministry of Tourism through the Israel Government Tourist Corporation, the Israel Nature and National Parks Protection Authority, and the Beit She'an Municipality. The attraction is expected to bring in 400,000 visitors annually and was created by C-nario and Disk-In Pro.
Called She'an Nights and based on C-nario Entertainer, which manages a wide array of projectors, lamps, and loudspeakers, the unique installation was planned and installed by Disk-In Pro, and is scattered across the remains of Scythopolis. Beginning with a multimedia introductory presentation summarizing the history of Scythopolis, includes special effects and Roman-style images of daily scenes projected on ancient walls, columns, and spaces are featured. The visitors experience the life of the ancient city, as well as the earthquake that destroyed it.
Following the introductory presentation, visitors walk through the streets of Scythopolis with its marble columns, stone pavements, bathhouses, and mosaics, while watching images of people and objects projected on the shops, pillars, and building remains of the city streets. The images are accompanied by voices and music, reviving the atmosphere and daily life of an old Roman-Byzantine town. In Scythopolis' ancient theatre, visitors can watch a Roman performance of dancing and music, as well as an audience applauding the performers—all projected on the theatre seats.
"The project revives the archeological park and educates visitors about the site's history," said Nissim Bados, manager of Beit She'an National Park. "It transports visitors 2,000 years back in time, providing an authentic experience of walking through the streets of Scythopolis."
"We used the latest lighting, sound, and seamless technologies, and a unique show control mechanism based on C-nario Entertainer to synchronize all components of the show through optical fibers," notes Moshe Yeyni, CEO of Disk-In Pro. "We created a scenario that reconstructs the life at Scythopolis and used a unique combination of animations and actors to create the images that bring Scythopolis to life."
Adds Yael Elstein, C-nario's vice president of marketing, "We helped Disk-In Pro create the ultimate viewer experience, enabling people to walk across history." "The She'an Nights project is an extraordinary example of how advanced technology can be harnessed to revive the past, and is an important milestone in heritage enrichment. It can serve as a model for other archeological sites worldwide."

12oz bottle purchased at Siciliano's Specialty Market in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Pours a cloudy golden/amber hue with one finger of eggshell white froth, a few strands of lacing, and lively carbonation in the body. Good appearance.
Smell is banana, clove, cinnamon, yeast esters, bready and doughy malts, wheat husk, lemon rind, slight mustiness, ethanol, and cream. Pleasing aromas.
Taste is yeast, wheat malt, cardamom, marble rye bread, lemon zest, cinnamon, and a mild estery burn with ripe banana on the cough. Pretty solid flavours.
Mouthfeel is thick, fuller than medium-bodied, creamy carbonation, brief citric tang precedes a malty tartness and powdery/chalky finish. Some alcoholic warmth lingers in the throat.
Overall, this is a satisfying strong wheat beer. It's not as spicy as most weizenbocks, and the booze hits harder than I expected, but I would likely buy this again. Worth trying if you ask me.

Poured into my Schneider & Brooklyner Hopfen-Weisse glass a murky mix of lemon and tea with a large blooming head that never really goes away,multiple chunks of lace left behind.Mainly phenols in the nose with a little toasty wheat malt,the alcohol seems to be well hidden with no real sweetness of it showing thru.Lighter on the palate and feel for the style but its not a bad thing,phenols and a little vanilla,with some of the toasted wheat malt.Its drinkability for the style is very high,pretty darn good.

Finally got my hands on Beer Camp, thanks to Tully's. It does not disappoint.
In a pilsner glass this beer was a hazy orange color with a thick white head that left a little bit of lace.
Caramel malt aroma. Very fresh and outdoorsy. Fruity.
Caramel taste. Bananas and orange. Malty.
Sweet, but refreshing.
A good beginning for my Beer Camp.

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy golden amber with a big rocky off white head that retains well and leaves a little lacing.
The aroma is subdued - some grainy wheaty malts and musty earthy yeast with some banana and clove and some floral hops.
The flavor is grainy wheaty malts with a little sugary fruity sweetness, and a musty earthy finish with some banana. As it warms, the sweetness starts to overwhelm. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with full carbonation.
Overall, it's OK. It's a bit subdued and a little too sugary sweet. I don't really care for the banana notes either.

The beer pours a hazy yellow-brown color with a white head. The aroma is full of caramel and bananas, with some brown sugar and wheat mixed in. It smells what I expect a weizenbock to smell like. The flavor is very similar. I get a lot of caramel-covered banana notes with some brown sugar adding some nice sweetness to the beer. The alcohol is well hidden and the beer is easy to drink. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Best of Beer Camp #37: Weizenbock
Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Weizen glass. Bottled on 1095 (April 5, 2011)
Appearance: Looks like thick orange juice with nice initial white head, which mostly recedes, leaving light lacing.
Smell: Sweet banana and bubblegum, with light notes of wheat, clove and pepper.
Taste: Very sweet, with mostly bubblegum and banana (similar to the aroma). Ends with a light noble hop spicy kick. Not much refreshing wheat or clove characteristics.
Feel: Chewy body with moderate carbonation. Sweet throughout, even on the finish.
Overall: Great flavor, even if it is too sweet. Since I already knocked it slightly on taste and feel for the sweetness, I will be more generous here. But honestly, I expected a little more based on the Kellerweis yeast, which is such a refreshing beer.

2011- the best of beer camp #37- weizenbock
12oz bottle at fridge temp poured into a bulb style glass. bottled roughly at the begining of MARCH 2011, about 3-4 months old.
pours out a super hazy, opaque cloudy deep golden color. lots of yeast in the bottle. big 2 fingers of creamy, just slightly off white colored head. bits of lace, god retention.
mostly aromas of alcohol and fruit. right next to that there is some of that weizen yeast, with some wheat and a touch of spice.
in the taste, a nice range of fruits, from dark to lighter fruits, clovey spicey weizen yeast, a nice little hop kick towards the finish, more on the herbal side with some apparent bitterness.
the heavier side of medium bodied, creamy carbonation that seems to be just around the right level.
overall: a solid weizenbock, IMHO just as good if not better than aveintius. not my favorite style, so not something i would come back to, but i definatly enjoyed my one bottle. i would definatly suggest the beer camp sampler, from what ive had so far, some solid brews.

Bottle (2011)
Oceanside, CA
A deep hazy orange with a quickly foaming off-white head that falls away relatively quickly. Not much lacing on the glass.
Belgian yeast character in the nose, a lot of sweet fruits, namely banana, along with some pronounced wheat character.
Flavor is very similar to the aroma, but the banana is far more pronounced and the Belgian yeast character adds a nice finish. Slight bitterness; it all comes together very nicely.
Medium to thick bodied. Sierra Nevada always scores well here.
A surprisingly complex weizenbock to come out of the beer camp. Not a very accessible beer for a rookie to the style, but this beer packs plenty of aroma and flavor, and it all comes together nicely to make a complete, cohesive, delicious package.

Poured from 12 oz. bottle into a Sam Adams perfect pint glass.
Appearance: A very cloudy and murky yellowish orange with lots of rising bubbles. Big three finger off white head with very good retention and lacing.
Smell: Decent aroma of bananas and clove with some spices (maybe some coriander). Also a good amount of yeast, wheat, and bready malts. Aroma is fairly mild overall.
Taste: A good mix of banana, clove, spices, and yeast with a surprisingly sharp earthy hop bitterness that I didn't detect in the smell. Decent backing of bready malts. Hints of citrus.
Mouthfeel: Medium body with a medium to high carbonation. Smooth.
Overall: A very solid take on a Weizenbock. Very tasty.

I'm loving this beer this should become some type of seasonal specialty for Sierra Nevada, solid esters/fruit/clove going on withing moderate strength wheat beer. Appears like a clouded ripened banana orange smoothie with a bright white head glowing bright. Speckled lacing scatters the sides of my Weihenstephaner glass. Aroma let's a bit of booze hit my nares but a nice spicy banana/clove and mild citrus twang flows pretty nicely with each sniff. Flavor is a robust kellerweiss which I happen to love just enough alcohol strength peaks through with the waves of banana bread/clove/and mild citrus notes. Super sweet mix of alcohol/ripe banana/clove and mild citrus left behind, a big beer from Sierra Nevada in flavor. Mouthfeel is pretty smooth for how much malt and sweetness in the flavor, juicy ripened bananas explodes on the palate. A soothing layer of alcohol with nutty dry yeast notes. Overall flavor is pretty satisfying along with expressive big wheat beer something you don't find very often from an American craft beer producer.

12 oz. bottle from 2011 Beer Camp mix pack that had just arrived at retailer. Served in a pint glass.
A: The beer pours a hazed golden orange color with a super creamy and very high bone-colored head. Head has excellent retention and more than 2 pours were required to get this in my glass. {A 2nd bottle only produced a modest but durable white head} Cloudy, unfiltered look. Limited lacing.
S: Yeasty and wheaty with clove, citrus and banana tones. Perhaps not bad for style but not to my taste.
T: Low levels of bitter, sweet and sour largely in balance, but with a sweet start and a sour finish. Hints of citrus under clove, banana, and light malt. Well done but not really my cup of tea.
M: medium/thin body; low but fine carbonation; after a bit of crispness initially it is quite soft
O: My first beer from the Beer Camp. Given my love for Sierra Nevada Brewing, this one was a little disappointing but ... Not a favorite style, but clearly a step above average for style IMO.

This beerpours a cloudy orange color with a yellow head. The head is thick and fluffy, and fades very slowly, leaving a lot of lace.
This beer has a mild spicy aroma. I get cloves and banana. It has an earthy yeast aroma as well. It is slightly grainy.
This beers flavor matches the aroma exactly. Cloves with banana and grain. Some earthy yeast.
This beer is crisp and refreshing. It leaves a spicy, clovelike aftertaste.
This beer would probably make a good session beer. It isnt to high in alcohol, and the flavor wouldnt get overly aggressive for a while.
Overall: Thias is a pretty good beer. Although I am not huge into the style, I still know a good Weizenbock when I taste one.

Bottle from the mixed 12-pack purchased from Green's on Ponce in Atlanta.
Pours a hazy golden-yellow color with a large white head that leaves decent lacing.
Smells of smooth light malts with hints of wheat and large amounts of light fruits and clove.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Smooth light malts up front backed by light wheat are joined by robust light fruits – almost exclusively bananas. Midway through moderate amounts of clove and hints of white pepper come into play, carrying through to a crisp ending. Mouthfeel is very good, with grainy carbonation.
Overall this was another solid beer from SN, a larger, sweeter, and more robust version of their Kellerweis. Very much worth a shot.

ST: 12oz poured into a flute.
A: Cloudy orange creamsicle with a fluffy white head. It has a core of darker orange almost honey, and it leaves very nice lacing.
S: Malty and yeasty with fruity esters. It has clove, banana, and orange.
T: Starts out with strong malt clove and other spice. The banana kicks in during the middle. Some orange joins the clove in the maltier finish. Fruity esters, alcohol, and malt control the finish.
M: Creamy and on the heavier side of medium bodied.
O: This is a great beer because it is balanced. It has nice spice and fruit, but there is a malt and bread backbone that asserts itself during the finish. As it should be, it is heavier than a normal hefe and the flavors are stronger. Also, the mouthfeel is creamier and not as dry. This beer would be enjoyable with heavier fair. It would work well with some heavier soups, lamb, and chicken dishes.

(Served in a dimple mug)
A- This beer pours a very hazy deep caramel body with strands of racing bubbles up the side of the glass. There is a creamy white head that turns a bit rocky and last for a good bit.
S- The aroma of bread crust and dry caramel take on a soft baked apple note and club soda hint in the finish.
T- The wheat bread crust flavor is followed by a green bitter note that is soft and has a club soda quality to it. There is a soft alcohol bite in the finish with a fruity apple ester and some green juicy noble hops that carry over a bit after the finish.
M- The medium mouthfeel has a full fizz in the finish and a soft heat from the alcohol.
O- The nice bready wheat character has some big flavors without any real typical banana or clove qualities. The alcohol is a bit to much for the taste but it is nice in the mouthfeel.

A cloudy gold-orange brew sits in the glass while a fluffy finger-and-a-half of yellow-tinted head. There's a sturdiness to it, and some patchy lacing is dropped on the glass as the beer recedes.
Plenty of banana in the nose here belie the yeast strain, and other yeast elements come out: clove, light dusty sort of earthiness, and a hint of bubble gum. Gentle spiciness is underlying, breads and caramel added from the malts finishing it out. There's a honey note and a bit of quality dark liquor coming out more as it sits, and more of a slight citrus element in the flavor. A very light floral note lets us know yes, there are some hops in here.
Smoothness makes this beer easy sipping. There's a light nip of crispness up front. Carbonation is moderate in about a medium body.
Some good stuff from the Beer Campers here.

Pored a nice cloudy yellow hue with a good 1 1/2 inch foamy head. Typical wheat beer. Love that cloudy hazy look and the full bodied smell. Almost like freshly turned wheat. First sip was without anything and it was just what I expected. In fact, this wheat beer was like many of the great German Hopfen-Weisse,
The second sip I added just a twist of fresh lemon which really brought the weat flavor up a notch
There was a nice spicy orange overtone to this one, but not a lot of coriander which I find in many other wheat beers.
I like this one a lot and have found each one of the beers in the Beer Summer Camp by Sierra to be fun and tasty

Poured 12oz beer in to my favorite pint glass
A - Chill Haze cloudy light caramel pour with decent carbonation action in the glass. The head is white and frothy which adds to the presentation.
S - Fresh baked bread, caramel malt and a hint of fruit and spices in the finish
T - A strong wheat bread like flavor with a sharp hoppy bitterness that is fruity and clove like. Hints of banana are everywhere! A bit of an alcohol warmth to this beer which is present in the finish. A nice hop and wheat balance to this beer.
M - Medium carbonation coupled with a warming sensation from the alcohol presence.
O - If you like complex front end wheat centric beers with a banana and clove backbone then this beer is for you. Personally I am not a fan of wheat beers but this is definitely a consumable beer. Nice job beer campers!

Hollywood Villa Rentals with Parking Included(14)

Close to everything! Great house-Highly recommend
We were absolutely thrilled to have been lucky enough to pick this house because we were able to walk to everything. We barely used our rental car! The interior of the house is beautiful, very clean, very comfortable, great beds/bedding, linens... I could go on and on. Ed was extremely friendly and gave us great advice on where to walk to eat and what bars to hit and all the Hollywood insider info that made us feel like locals. It was an amazing trip! Definitely will be back to Hollywood and stay at Casa de Libertad! Can't stop bragging to all our friends about it! :)
The perfect proposal setting!
I looked far and wide for a place to propose to my girlfriend of 4 years in the LA area and ended up choosing the Villa Sophia. It exceeded every expectation I had. From the breathtaking views, to the exquisite pool / spa all in a supremely private setting with all the amenities you need and then some. The fact that the 4th of July fireworks were going off above downtown LA as I proposed was the icing on the cake. We felt at home in the pool house, and had a fantastically relaxing stay at this very peaceful property. It may be very close to the action in LA, but we preferred to stay and enjoy the warm weather and some cold drinks by the pool. Tim is a very gracious host and definitely great at respecting the privacy of his guests. The house dog Sophie is adorable not to mention super calm. So whether you are from out of town, or right here like us, this is a perfect place to stay and an amazing value when you consider that even the best hotels in Los Angeles cannot offer anything comparable and charge much more for large suites.
Thanks for a great vacation!
Thanks Seth and Leigh for providing such great accommodations for our vacation. I just spent a week in this fun house with my six kids and everything went very well. It had everything we needed plus some. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. There was plenty of room to spread out and also hang out by the pool. The hot tub was great after a long day at Universal Studios, which is just minutes away, and other great sights in the area. The location of the house is very centrally located and easily accessible to all the great spots in Hollywood. Seth was very responsive to any of our needs and always responded quickly when I asked questions. I highly recommend this house for a vacation! Thanks again! April March 2-9, 2013

On a recent night, I was with two of my favorite family members in a hospitality suite at the sold-out Verizon Center in Washington, D.C., enjoying the Rolling Stones in their final concert of their 50 & Counting North American tour.
What was Joe Donnelly, the junior senator from Indiana, doing that evening? Calling it an early night after microwaving himself a frozen Lean Cuisine dinner. He'd flown in from Indiana that morning, after his routine weekly trip to his home state.
The night before that, Donnelly was in the small Indiana town of La Paz, population of 561, greeting about 75 people as they worked their way through the buffet line at the annual Marshall County Jefferson-Jackson Dinner. As he shook hands with Democratic loyalists, they bended his ear about Obamacare, the stalled farm bill and immigration reform.
Earlier last week, Donnelly launched his fifth state tour since taking office in January. Typical of his other tours, he crisscrossed the state, hosting meetings at a bakery, a bar and grill, an elementary school, and the office of an IHOP restaurant's franchise owner.
Those are the kinds of places where Donnelly spends a lot of time on his frequent trips back home. His staff has come to expect a flood of phone calls and emails when they come to work on Monday mornings; that's because their boss often tells people he meets: If you need something, call my office.
Those calls, emails and letters come in the "tens of thousands," according to his press staff. That doesn't include the constituent services caseload, which are specific requests from people back home who need help resolving a problem with a federal agency. His staff has about 900 cases they've closed or are working on.
Donnelly is not up for re-election until 2018, so you'd think he could take a bit of a break. But he's also a Democrat in a Republican state who wasn't supposed to win, which is why if you Google his name, you may see the words "accidental senator" in news stories about him.

Eighteen Die On Kentucky Roadways Last Week
(Apr. 23 through Apr. 29)
Date of News Release: 04/30/2007
(FRANKFORT, Ky.) - Preliminary statistics* indicate that 18 people died in 13 separate crashes on Kentucky's roadways from Monday, Apr. 23 through Sunday, Apr. 29, 2007.
All of the fatalities involved motor vehicles and six of the victims were not wearing seat belts. The seat belt status of one of the victims is unknown at this time. Two of the crashes involved the suspected use of alcohol.
One four-fatality crash was reported in Washington County. One double fatality crash was reported in Harlan County and one in Lawrenece County. Two single-fatality crashes were reported in Fayette County. Single-fatality crashes also occurred in Bullitt, Garrard, Hardin, Hart, Jefferson, McCracken, Pike and Scott counties.
Through Apr. 29, preliminary statistics* indicate that 247 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2007. This is four more than reported for this time period in 2006. Of the 215 motor vehicle fatalities, 127 victims were not wearing seat belts. Of the 10 motorcycle fatalities, five were not wearing helmets. Of the 13 ATV fatalities, 12 were not wearing helmets. Nine pedestrians have been killed and a total of 58 fatalities have resulted from crashes involving the suspected use of alcohol.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.
*These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas.
