My wife found this place while looking for a get-away for us. It's located right on the edge of the Chickasaw National Recreation Area. The room had a great private balcony where you can watch the deer in the morning and evening. The dinner was outstanding for the quality, freshness, and preparation. It's family-owned/operated, and the service is excellent. The room was very clean, comfortable, and ours have the large Jacuzzi tub. Spa staff was very professional. Unfortunately, we got in very late for our first night, but the staff perfectly accommodated us to make sure we were taken care of and comfortable. Definitely will be coming back in the future.

We had a very relaxing time. Our trip here was to celebrate our 6th anniversary. We reside in OKC and were looking for someplace not too far away. The room was spacious, clean, & welcoming. We especially enjoyed soaking in our own private jacuzzi tub in our room. The additional packages made our stay special. We chose chocolate covered strawberries & wine as a package it was such a great treat. I'd further recommend the spa where we received massages. To top off our experience the dining was to die for!! The steak was so tender, ambiance was spot on with the special touch if the waitstaff. We couldn't have asked for a more relaxing, pampered stay. Unfortunately our stay was short so we didn't get to enjoy all the B&B had to offer such as the in site outdoor pool, community hot tub, or getting to walk the orchard. I do believe we will be repeat customers. Thank you, Echo Canyon, for a wonderful stay!!!

Man stalked Plumstead ex-partner with phone app and tried to kidnap her
4:40pm Tuesday 25th March 2014 in News By Mark Chandler, deputy news editor
A 36-year-old man who installed an app on his ex-partner's phone so he could track her down to Plumstead has been jailed for two years.
Marcus Wellington from Brent in north London, pursued, harassed and intimidated his 35-year-old ex for months after she left him in January last year.
On one occasion she was travelling on a bus toward Woolwich town centre and received a call from Wellington who was sitting in a car next to the bus, looking at her.
He then told her to get in the car and tried to lock her inside. On that occasion she managed to escape.
Wellington's parked car was later spotted by police in Nithdale Road, Plumstead. Inside they found an image of the victim and a homemade firearm.
He was eventually spotted in Long Walk and arrested following a chase. Police discovered he had moved close to his victim's new home, having installed a tracking app on her phone.
Wellington was convicted of attempted kidnap at Southwark Crown Court on March 21.
Officer in the case Detective Constable Celina Todd said: "I am incredibly proud and grateful to the courageous victim who assisted us with our investigation and stood up to Wellington's abuse.
"He bullied, threatened and subjected her to a terrifying ordeal. I am satisfied with the sentenced he has received and I hope that whilst behind bars, he will reflect upon his behaviour."

CENTRAL Victorian netballers Caitlin Thwaites and Julie Corletto have been named in the Australian team for the Commonwealth Games.
The duo are part of the Diamonds team that are hoping to win its first netball gold medal in 12 years.
Diamonds netball coach Lisa Alexander sad she was confident she had picked a team that would end Australia's golden drought.
"It's been an arduous task for the selectors and I to pick a team of 12 athletes to represent Australia; a selection that we've deliberated and debated endlessly to ensure we have the best team to reclaim the gold medal," she said.
Australia opens up its 2014 Commonwealth Games account against Wales on July 24 before its remaining pool matches against England, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago and South Africa.

But with a renewed interest from the city and a massive capital improvement campaign on the horizon, times are changing -- and
Sutton comes from
She's already made the move from
"I really enjoyed working at USU, but this is an opportunity to be a lot more involved with the public," she said. "I'm excited to reach out and meet new people and bring new programs and exhibits to the museum."
Oddly enough for someone with a career in museums, Sutton said she found them "dusty and boring" when she visited them as a child.
"But that's not what modern museums should be," she said. "We want to change that perception and get people really engaged in history."
Sutton takes over the station at a critical juncture in its storied existence.
In cooperation with
The foundation will establish a steering committee, which will include members who have experience with historical renovation and raising funds on a large scope, to run the campaign.
The city will partner with the foundation in the early stages of the campaign, providing money for a renovation study and to help pay for the station's utility bills. The foundation is also seeking state money for ongoing operation and maintenance of the building.
The city will provide nearly
City documents show
"There are a lot of exciting things going on and it's a good time to be part of (the station)," Sutton said. "It's a tremendous, historic building that really highlights the American West and we need to showcase that."
In the immediate future, the station is in need of new wiring and piping, upgraded restrooms and a new boiler. The renovation will first tackle those items, but eventually the entire campus will be upgraded.
Beverly took over as director of the station in
"It was certainly challenging -- it's a big building and it's old and we had a small staff," she said. "But it was also one of the most wonderful experiences I ever had. When the city changed its direction, there were countless people who stepped up and came together to help us keep it open."
Beverly said she's happy to see the city become involved with the building again and thinks the capital campaign to renovate it will solidify its future.
"That building is an icon," she said. "And we need to treat it that way."

Arrived as stated,well packaged
Love this product! Thanks for the vouchers for money off!!
Love the mask. Will buy more.
Amassing mask tightening tingle
Really tightens pores and smells good too.
Good product,but nothing special,too expensive.
Delivery good, price good. But no cash back from topcash back.co.uk is appalling - never had trouble on other sites
Read loads of reviews! Expensive but got on offer. Tried it and a good mask.
I haven't used it yet
Amazing.it really really works.
Nice tingly face mask. Leaves skin glowing and soft. Love the exfoliation.
Only used this once, i have been impressed so far
Great mask, I leave it on while I shower and see immediate results.
Have used this three times and although I didn't notice any immediate improvement in my skin I do think it is starting to have a little affect, ie skin looks a bit brighter and a little less congested around the nose and chin. Quite expensive although the jar is bigger than I expected from some of the other reviews and you only seem to use a small amount each time. Will carry on using
and hopefully the improvements will continue.
The best ever!
great delivery, packaging and overall service
OMG! total life saver, left my skin so soft and it just is amazing if your skin needs a pick me up especially after the stress of exams.
The mask makes the face feel very clean.
It's not worth the money. I haven't noticed any differences.
Always recommending to others.
easy to use and efficient service. although i had an issue with the tracking details. i was not able to track my parcel. I would not say delivery was very quick it was sufficient enough.
The kind of face mask I have been searching for for a long time! Has a super-tightening effect to the point where I could barely move my face.. And then when you wash it off its like exfoliating!! My skin feels so much smoother and softer... Now I want to buy the other version aswell!!!
This is a very good product for keeping a fresh skin
Made my skin really glow after 3rd application
Very good price

The lamps are handcrafted using precisely cut Bohemian crystal and illuminated with state-of-the-art LED lighting, which gives them their romantic, unforgettable glow. The lamps come in three designs, leaving tabletops adorned with upright "glasses" while inverted pendant lamps glimmer overhead, creating continuity in the room.

A Swimming Spa Lets You Enjoy the Benefits of "Treadmill Swimming"
Swimming Pool Estimates, Customer Reviews, Profile Info & More!
A swimming spa uses jets, propeller systems, or a paddle wheel to generate a current so you can swim without actually moving forward in the water (also known as "treadmill swimming"). A swimming spa is an economical and space-effective way to swim laps at home without constructing a full-sized pool. A swimming spa can also be used for walking, jogging or running in place, as well as aerobic exercise or hydrotherapy.
Swimming Spa Options
Swimming spa models are available in above-ground and in-ground varieties. Generally, a swimming spa is about 14 or 15 feet long, 5 or 6 feet wide, and anywhere from 3 to 6 feet deep. Most swimming spa models are constructed from acrylic, fiberglass, or vinyl liner over a stainless steel frame. A lot of models even include a special section at one end with seating, so you can use your swimming spa as a traditional hot tub.
The current of the swimming spa can be easily adjusted to accommodate swimmers of any speed. The temperature of the water is adjustable as well, so you can enjoy a swim in water that is soothing and warm, or brisk and cool. Some swimming spas come equipped with monitoring equipment so swimmers can keep track of their heart rate, pulse rate, and calories burned during their workout. Swimming spas can also be equipped with stereo systems that are audible underwater, so the swimmer can keep things fun during his or her cardiovascular workout.
Swimming Spa Advantages
One of the major advantages of the swimming spa is its compact size, which allows it to be installed in a small backyard, or even indoors. Unlike a swimming pool, there is no need to excavate your yard. You can easily assemble your swimming spa with common household tools. It's even possible to install the plumbing yourself, although you may still want to hire a plumber if you don't have any experience in that area.
A swimming spa requires much less maintenance than a swimming pool. You will still need to check the water regularly and add chemicals as needed, but a good filtration system and an ozone generator will help you keep your swimming spa clean, safe, and properly sanitized.

18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker Dreamcast
- Release Date: May 22, 2001

Positive: 3 out of 14
Mixed: 10 out of 14
Negative: 1 out of 14
An all too familiar Sega story: a refreshing new take on an old genre, featuring great control, sharp graphics, but crippled by lack of depth.
No real levels have been added to the original arcade version, so the game ends just when you're revving up.
A blast while it lasts, but when you're done, you won't find much more fun. 10-4 that, good buddy.
The game is fun when you sit down with it, but two hours later you'll have seen everything there is to see.
It isn't that the game isn't solid and fun. It's just that most players will wonder why they didn't just stick a couple of bucks in the arcade machine instead.
Sharp graphics, explosive action, and an Internet multiplayer mode earn a big ten four.
I suggest gamers shortchange Sega by spending only $3.99 to rent this miniscule title that will only be enjoyable truly for a weekend or so of fun.

Tag: Florida Legislature
For safety, should trained "volunteers" be allowed to carry guns on school campuses?
- 6:00 am Friday, March 21st, 2014 by Opinion Staff
There are several gun-related proposals currently making their way through the Florida Legislature.
But one controversial proposal, under the guise of making our schools safer, wants to put more guns on campuses. The additional guns would not be in the hands of trained school police officers, however. This proposal (HB 753 and SB 968) wants to designate military veterans or retired law-enforcement officers with concealed weapons permits and special training to bring guns into elementary, middle and high schools.
That the measure is "optional" is a moot point, as is Senate sponsor, Sen. Alan Hays, R-Umatilla, saying that he will amend the [More]
Should Florida lawmakers allow more exemptions to the state's 'open government' laws?
- 6:00 am Wednesday, March 19th, 2014 by Opinion Staff
This week, national media, in cooperation with the First Amendment Foundation, is promoting citizen access to, and transparency in government.
This is Sunshine Week. At a time when distrust of government — local, state and national — appears to be at an all-time high, transparency and accountability has never been more important. This week, that importance to our participatory democracy is being recognized through Saturday.
When it comes to open government, Florida has tended to lead the nation. One could say that Florida's "Government in the Sunshine" is viewed as a sacred right by its residents, the media and even some politicians. [More]
Should Florida lawmakers allow 'Dreamers' to practice law?
- 6:00 am Monday, March 10th, 2014 by Rick Christie
The Florida Supreme Court unanimously ruled Thursday that undocumented immigrants cannot be admitted to The Florida Bar, calling on the Legislature to change state law to allow so-called "Dreamers" to become attorneys.
Jose Godinez-Samperio, who came to the United States at age 9 from Mexico and later graduated from law school at Florida State University, passed the Bar exam more than two years ago.
The Florida Board of Bar Examiners asked the court for an opinion about whether Godinez-Samperio and other undocumented immigrants are eligible to practice law in the state.
Despite his long list of accomplishments, the court ruled that Godinez-Samperio cannot [More]
Should employers be allowed access to employees', job candidates' social media accounts?
- 6:00 am Saturday, March 8th, 2014 by Opinion Staff
There's a fight brewing in the Florida Legislature over whether employers should be allowed to peek into workers' private social media accounts like Twitter and Facebook.
Last month, the Senate Commerce and Tourism Committee approved a proposal (SB 198) that would prohibit most employers from asking a worker or job applicant for his or her username, password or other means to access private social-media accounts such as Facebook and Twitter.
Sen. Jeff Clemens, D-Lake Worth, told the News Service of Florida that he sponsored the bill because, under current state law, someone can be denied employment if they refuse to turn over [More]
Should Florida make e-cigarette sales to minors illegal?
- 6:00 am Wednesday, March 5th, 2014 by Opinion Staff
Some people electronic cigarettes, which have exploded in popularity over the past year, are something that we need to keep away from our kids.
Debate has focused on whether the products are a step in helping people quit smoking or serve as a gateway to nicotine addiction.
A bill is headed to the Senate floor of the state Legislature that would make it a second-degree misdemeanor to sell e-cigarettes and related products to people under age 18. The proposal, which does not cover nicotine patches, would also make it illegal for minors to possess such electronic cigarettes and products.
"If we don't allow [More]
Time for Florida lawmakers to look at private flood insurance?
- 6:00 am Sunday, March 2nd, 2014 by Opinion Staff
What does a Florida property owner have to do keep their flood insurance rate from skyrocketing?
Looking to the Florida Legislature may just add to the frustration. After another week came and went, and still no movement in Congress on delaying parts of the 2012 overhaul of the National Flood Insurance Program, what now?.
House aides hinted early last week that legislation could be brought to the floor by Friday. Proponents of such a bill surely began to exhale that the much-criticized NFIP would be "fixed", easing hefty premium increases and allowing below-market rates to be passed on to people buying homes.
Well, [More]
Should Florida Legislature pass 'Warning shot' bill?
- 11:59 pm Monday, January 13th, 2014 by Opinion Staff
The so-called "warning-shot" bill that would amend the state's controversial "stand your ground" self-defense law, cleared its first Senate panel last week.
The bill, which would grant immunity to Floridians who show guns or fire warning shots in self-defense, appears poised to pass this year after failing to get a hearing in 2013.
After listening to descriptions of Floridians serving 20-year sentences for firing warning shots to defend themselves or others, the Senate Criminal Justice Committee unanimously passed the bill by committee Chairman Greg Evers, R-Baker.
Combee, a Polk City Republican, first sponsored the bill after hearing about Marissa Alexander, a Jacksonville woman [More]
Should revenge porn be illegal?
- 2:15 pm Thursday, December 19th, 2013 by Opinion Staff
Sen. David Simmons, R-Altamonte Springs filed a bill that would make posting sexually explicit images of someone without consent to an online social network or website a third-degree felony.
The bill, SB 532, would require that a person be easily identifiable visually or through other means by the image.
It would be a second-degree felony for someone over 18 to post images of a person younger than 16 who is nude or engaged in sexual intercourse.
Websites like myex.com are dedicated to posting and making money off nude shots, mostly of women.
Simmons filed a similar measure during the 2013 session referred [More]
Should Florida recognize 'domestic partnerships' statewide?
- 3:09 pm Friday, April 5th, 2013 by Opinion Staff
Florida voters banned same-sex marriage in 2008. As this newspaper and others warned at the time, the constitutional amendment was so broad that it could affect other types of relationships and complicate such things as who could make health-care decisions for someone who is incapacitated.
It is not unusual in Florida for a widow and widower to start a new relationship without marrying, because the couple doesn't want to affect financial arrangements involving children. Such couples have no easy way to formalize agreements and commitments to each other.
This year, Sen. Eleanor Sobel, D-Hollywood, sought to fix that with Senate Bill 196. [More]
Should Florida have a full-time legislature?
- 10:19 am Friday, January 11th, 2013 by Opinion Staff
Two new Palm Beach County state senators must have missed the memo about public distrust of politicians. They suggest that Florida's part-time legislature become a full-time legislature.
Joseph Abruzzo and Jeff Clemens argue that while the job may be classified as part-time, it doesn't work that way in reality. There are committee meetings once a month in addition to the 60-day legislative session, and legislators may have to serve on boards during the week and attend events in their district on weekends.
True enough, but last time we checked no one runs for office at gunpoint. Also, no one ever has come [More]

Of Irish descent, some generations past, Australian born, and proud of both.
Have always loved to write, and so, several years ago, decided to officially document some of my writings and publish a book of poetry "MY WORD" as my own personal legacy to my existence, but more importantly, as a keepsake for my children to finally read a collection of my thoughts in a bound condensed version, rather than being lost to the delete button on my computer.
Others who may read this book or additional writings I post on this website are welcome to comment......but I am not in the least bit interested in criticism as it is purely an ordinary persons amateur expression of my lifes experiences.
I have also managed to progress into writing songs, as an extension of my poetry. With the assistance of my good friend Mick Buckley www.mickbuckleymusic.com who wrote the melodies for these songs, we have engaged the services of a studio band in Nashville to professionally record them.
It's all a bit of fun and an enjoyable past time, which I felt I wanted to share on this website.
Enjoy....or not !!!!

Although Anya Lasko began her career as a classically trained dancer and choreographer in Belarus, she was driven to found a studio based on "the three principles of holistic well-being, healthy exercising, and performing arts education." To accomplish this, she and her staff of instructors lead a combination of instructive and recreational classes for all skill and experience levels, helping students develop the physicality required for artistic expression through music and dance.
Dance classes explore a number of different styles—including ballet, belly dance, and hip-hop—and instructors address the needs and learning styles of different age groups by teaching separate lessons for children and adults. For a muscle-toning approach, the fitness sessions can emphasize low-impact workouts with Pilates techniques and ballet barre exercises, whereas yoga classes' mindful movements and guided meditation generate more focus than the Hubble Space Telescope's contact lenses.
Although Create a Frame / Handworks Gallery began as a designer framing store, works of art have wriggled their way off the walls and onto the shop floor, where 3-D pieces complement the flat compositions framers nestle beneath glass, mats, and moulding. Helmed by husband-and-wife team Wendy and Steven Denenberg for more than 30 years, the white custom-framing counter offsets a wall of frame samples from brands such as Adhisa and Roma, which encircle pieces of any size alongside flattering mats and glass to protect against passing impressionists. Tactile objets d'art dapple the rest of the gallery space with the colors of hand-hewn artisanal furniture, sparkling jewelry, and glass bowls, vases, and ceilings crafted by American and international artists.:m]]

Super amazing directions and description for Project Mayhem
The best boulder problem at Falling Rock (in my opinion) is located along the base of the right side cliff. Hike down and look for the massive house sized boulder (about 100 yrd's in front of the parking area). A couple of feet before you get to the house sized boulder turn right and go on top of the jumble of boulders. Look down in the hole and you should see this amazing problem..

Meet Happy! The unsettling new Happy Meal mascot
One thing that has fascinated me for a long time is how huge, multi-billion dollar companies can make really obvious mistakes, mistakes that even a child could see.
Do people lose touch with the hoi polloi when they've been enjoying the perks of the executive cafeteria for too long?
Is it a product of the 'yes man' corporate culture, where some out-of-touch CEO has a shower epiphany which rips unchecked through vice presidents, middle managers, and teams of consultants to be broadcast nationwide?
Take what happened today: I'm looking at a photo of one of the biggest, most expensive branding decisions McDonald's has made in a long time. Happy, the new mascot of the Happy Meal.
This is an updated version of the old mascot, which was a Happy Meal box with a yellow smile drawn on it. Simple. Classic. Totally solid mascot. It seems logical, obvious, even, to give that old tried-and-true mascot an update. Bring it to life: add arms, legs and a face. What could possibly go wrong?
Crazy Eyes. That's what.
Happy looks crazy. Not evil, serial killer-crazy (which would actually, I think, be better) or even evil genius crazy... it's a desperate, deeply-needy, sad kind of crazy.
Happy's eyes say: "Hi! I'm Happy! Will you be my friend? Please? I have a lot of trouble reading social cues! Oh my God, I'm so lonely!"
Happy has the kind of expression on his face that you sometimes see on an internet date or a person you are sitting next to on a transatlantic flight. The kind of expression the person in the aisle wears that makes you think, "How much time can I spend in the bathroom before it becomes rude to the point of cruelty?" Shortly before ordering the strongest possible drink as fast as you possibly can.
In its press release, McDonald's says Happy will serve as "an ambassador for balanced and wholesome eating... and will encourage kids to enjoy fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy and wholesome beverages such as water or juice."
Happy accompanies a new yogurt option (alternative to french fries) in the Happy Meal. So, Happy is telling kids to eat their fruits and vegetables.
Kids, who will take one look at Happy and know that if they sat next to Happy in the lunch room, their social life would be over until they went to college. If you thought kids hated eating their fruits and vegetables before, now those fruits and vegetables are associated with being a social outcast... which makes me think that maybe, just maybe, Happy isn't the marketing snafu it first appears to be.
Maybe Happy is ACTUALLY a piece of marketing genius.
Consider this: McDonald's serves burgers, sodas, fries, Filets-o-Fish, McRibs, Egg McMuffins and basically everything that is bad for you and can fit inside of a sesame seed bun. McDonald's might SAY it's embracing healthy eating, but it's not.
If everyone in the world started eating what their doctor told them to, McDonald's would go out of business inside of two weeks. So what does McDonald's do? It rolls out a mascot for healthy eating, to tell kids how great "fruits, vegetables and wholesome beverages" are; a mascot that is so deeply unsettling to look at, any child who sees it will probably never want to go within 100 miles of fruit, vegetables or wholesome drinks ever again.
You know what doesn't have any fruits or too many vegetables? Burgers. Fries. Filets-o-Fish. McRibs. Egg McMuffins and basically everything else McDonald's serves.
McDonald's has not rolled out a messed-up mascot, it's invented the anti-mascot. Happy is reverse-psychology marketing in action.
Children, highly impressionable children, will now forever associate "balanced and wholesome eating" with the kid who sits alone in the corner of the cafeteria and brings his cousin to the Homecoming dance.
Sure, Happy might have crazy eyes... but I would submit that they might just be crazy, like a fox. Crazy like a fox that will spend the rest of its life thinking trans-fats are what the cool kids are eating.
Well played, McDonald's.

How much help do rural schools in your state need?
The Rural School and Community Trust has released its "Why Rural Matters" report for 2013-2014, tracking the conditions of rural education in each of the 50 states. Using a combination of measurements, including student diversity, socioeconomic conditions and educational outcomes, the nonprofit organization categorizes in its report the overall need for support of rural education in each state.
In particular, the report highlighted the fact that rural schools, which serve 20 percent of U.S. schoolchildren, are experiencing higher growths in enrollment rates compared to non-rural schools. Rural schools also serve an increasingly diverse demographic and a growing percentage of students live in poverty, according to the report.

This is your brain on a phone
There is word that Britain's National Health Service has just commissioned a big study to see what mobile phones are doing — if anything — to our kids.
This is one of the biggest stories I'v seen so far while broadcasting this week from London, and yet it has received very little coverage outside of these isles.
Here is the part that stopped me in my tracks: Researchers say this is not something that has been studied much. It should be said that perhaps there are no significant health, cognitive or developmental effects of young people using cell phones the way they do. But until this new research starts bearing fruit in a few years these will remain open questions.
The study will recruit parents and children at about 160 middle and high schools around London. They have to agree to let a special app monitor the phones of children as young as 11. The app will track how the phone is used, as a speaker phone, via headphones or how often it's held up against the ear.
Researchers, coordinated by the Imperial College London, are interested in any effects of radio waves emitted by the phones but also how the regular use of mobiles might change the way kids think or remember information. It's not just the effects of phones they are interested in, but other digital devices such as tablets as well. Alarmist nonsense? It is being noted here that the World Health Organization has said there is an urgent need for this kind of research with youngsters.
It is interesting that for a while now the National Health Service over here has had guidelines urging that phones should only be used by kids for "essential purposes." If you have ever seen a kid stuck in that praying mantis pose with a phone in hand, you know that is not always the case. That is to say kids have been known to use smart phones for more than just calling home for a ride or checking if the teacher had sent an email.
The lead investigator in the new British study is quoted by the BBC saying, "As mobile phones are a new and widespread technology central to our lives, carrying out the study is important in order to provide the evidence base with which to inform policy and through which parents and their children can make informed life choices."
What I am wondering is where they are going to find kids for the study's control group: the kids who never use phones are becoming a very rare breed.

Jasmine Hill had 28 points and 17 rebounds as Oakland Mills defeated Westminster, 76-56, Thursday night to repeat as champions of the tournament the school hosts.
The Scorpions set a first half tempo that made it hard for Westminster to keep up.
"They run a fast pace. Up in Carroll County teams slow it down a little bit," said Westminster junior Danielle Fieni. "They were really aggressive with defense pressing the whole game, we're more used to a zone or a half-court man" defense.
Oakland Mills was also aggressive on offense, taking the ball to the basket and making moves that got two of Westminster's taller starters, Alyssa Pumputis and Charlee VanDerniet, in significant foul trouble. Pumputis had four fouls midway through the second quarter; VanDerniet picked up her fourth foul midway through the third quarter.
"Fouls were huge. They got to the foul line and they couldn't miss. That was a huge problem," said Brittany Baer, Westminster's JV coach who was standing in for varsity coach Mike Ninosky. "Early on we played well. We were hitting shots and looking outside, but in the second half we came out lazy. We were sloppy and turned the ball over."
Oakland Mills already had the advantage, but put the game away in the third quarter, outscoring the Owls, 30-17.
"They hit everything and we couldn't," said Baer.
For example, 5-foot-2 Oakland Mills freshman Tori Diggs, the smallest player on her team, was three for three on 3-point shots, and each basket brought a huge roar from the crowd.
"I'm small and people think I can't do that," Diggs said, by way of explanation.
"We had good offense, but I wasn't very happy with the defense," said Oakland Mills coach Seth Willingham. His squad tied its season high of 76 points but allowed a season high 56. In its eight previous games, Oakland Mills had allowed an average of 30 points a game.
Named to the all-tournament team were: Jasmine Hill (MVP, Oakland Mills), Nicole Twardowicz (Oakland Mills), Danielle Fieni (Westminster), Charlee VanDerniet (Westminster) and Jayde Duncan (Western Tech).

So here is your assignment. Read the top of the following story in the Los Angeles Times and try to spot the religion ghost.
The headline: "Gay Saudi diplomat seeking asylum says 'they will kill me openly.' "
In a public plea for help, a Los Angeles-based Saudi diplomat said he is seeking asylum because he believes his life will be in danger if he is forced to return to his country.
The diplomat, who gave his name as Ali Ahmad Asseri, sent an e-mail to news organizations saying that Saudi officials had refused to renew his passport, revoked his health benefits and effectively terminated his position as first secretary at the consulate in Los Angeles after learning that he is gay and friends with a Jewish woman.
"My life is in a great danger here, and if I go back to Saudi Arabia they will kill me openly in broad daylight," Asseri wrote in the
message, a copy of which was provided to The Times. … Asseri, who has been in the U.S. for five years, has fled his West Hollywood apartment and is in hiding, according to supporters.
"I am severely angry that I have been forced to be in this situation because of my personal life," Asseri said in the e-mail. "It's not fair and I will not let it go."
Asseri's lawyer, Ally Bolour, told NBC News — which first reported the story Saturday — that his client applied for asylum on the grounds that he is a member of a "particular social group" that would subject him to persecution if he returns home.
OK, if you said the "ghost" is the friendship with the Jewish woman, you need to read on. You'll find out that she is merely a political problem, since the assumption is that she is an Israeli spy.
If you said that the "ghost" is that Asseri's homosexuality is a problem under Islamic law, it appears that you would be wrong again. At least, according to this story, his case has little or nothing to do with religion. This entire standoff is rooted in politics and culture. After all, readers are told:
Homosexuality is illegal in Saudi Arabia. An Amnesty International report cited a 2002 case in which three Saudi men were executed after being convicted of homosexual acts. The most recent U.S. State Department report on human rights in the country cites a 2007 newspaper report that said two men had been flogged 7,000 times after being found guilty of sodomy. …
Asseri's religious views could also put him at risk in Saudi Arabia. … Asseri acknowledged in the e-mail that he is not a practicing Muslim, although he said he believes in God.
So here is the big question: Is this man appealing for "political" asylum or "religious" asylum? Here's another hot question: When the U.S. State Department is dealing with the realities on the ground in Saudi Arabia (please click here), what is the difference? You can see that reality in the following paragraph in the story:
In July, Asseri posted an appeal to King Abdullah on http://www.alsaha.com, a popular Arabic website, in which he railed against the "backwardness" of Saudi officials and "militant Imams who defaced the tolerance of Islam."
Here's my point. As we saw in another recent case (discussed here at GetReligion), the lines between culture and religion are increasingly beginning to blur in cases that center on appeals for asylum. U.S. officials may hesitate to admit the obvious — that this gay man faces persecution under Saudi laws — because granting his appeal might open the door for other cases that are rooted in other violations of Islamic law, such as conversion to another faith or acts of alleged blasphemy by centrist or liberal Muslims.
As a rule, U.S. officials are squeamish about that hot-button word — persecution. Admitting that persecution is real implies that some nations have more religious freedom than others and conceding that point would seriously complicate the lives of many diplomats, many of whom just do not "get religion."
But that doesn't mean that journalists have to ignore the obvious, as well. If journalists who read this weblog have doubts about what I am saying, all they need to do is call a Baha'i leader, or an organization that focuses on religious freedom, or even a gay-rights group that is active at the global level.
Is this a political story? Yes. Is it a cultural story? Yes. Is it a religion story? Yes, of course. Deal with it.

More Butter Becomes Biodiesel
For the second year in a row the State Fair butter sculpture is turned into fuel
SUNY-ESF scientists and students are again turning the New York State Fair butter sculpture into biodiesel at fair's end.
This year's sculpture, "Cow Power," embraced the biodiesel project as it celebrated a world in the not-so-distant future where cows not only produce "nature's most perfect food" but also the fuel to take it to market, according to Elizabeth Meyer of the American Dairy Association and Dairy Council, Inc.
In 2008, the first year the butter sculpture was turned into biodiesel by ESF scientists, the sculpture produced 100 gallons of fuel that was used to power ESF's vehicle fleet. Dr. Christopher Nomura of ESF's Chemistry Department expects this year's sculpture to produce approximately the same amount. Ecological engineering graduate student Jessica Bohn is the biodiesel project manager.Office of Communications

Bomber of this one from claaark13. Cheers man!
From a bomber into a snifter
Batch 1
Drunk right after the base beer
APPEARANCE: Pours out viscous and yields a one finger, medium-thicker looking, fluffy, off-white head with only decent retention. Not quite as much staying power as the base. Darker color on this one, sitting a hazy, ruby red color in the glass with medium levels of carbonation evident. Head fades to a full cap. A splotchy wisp remains and leaves some decent lacing down the glass. Nice looking, but not as impressive as the base beer.
SMELL: Bourbon, oak, vanilla with toffee and caramel on the nose. Coconut for sure with lots of woody vanilla notes. Nice barrel for sure and a touch of sweet base beer is still there.
TASTE: Really nice. Bourbon barrel with oak, coconut and vanilla from the wood. Bold and persistent finish with lots of bourbon, oak, coconut, as well as some toffee and butterscotch from the base beer. A well-measured touch of booze as well. Very well balanced and very enjoyable.
PALATE: Medium body and slightly higher levels of carbonation. Very creamy smooth on the palate, velvety like the base beer, goes down smooth and finishes slightly mouth-coating. Same as the base beer but a touch lighter. Very velvety and creamy. Nice stuff.
OVERALL: Really, really nice, though I do think the base beer was a more impressive base than this is a bourbon barrel b-wine. Then again, they're both excellent. This one is very well balanced and complex showing a good mix of base barleywine and bourbon barrel aging, making it a drink worth pondering. I've heard stories that the second batch isn't quite up to par, but this first batch is a gem. Thanks again for the set claaark13. This was excellent.

thanks Brandon
the beer pours a dark brown, clear with a very thin head. the nose is chocolatey, 3 musketeers bar sweetness. the taste is definitely sweet upfront, brownie batter, 3 musketeers, vanilla, and almost no bitterness. the mouthfeel is medium bodied, drinkable, sweet, slightly metallic, and tobacco-y bitter. this beer is damn delicious and doesn't seem to have fallen off (although this is my first time having it).

Batch 2. Finally getting to this bottle after having it in my cellar for about a year. I've heard a lot of comparisons to King Henry (like most barrel-aged barleywines these days) so I was anxious to see which I preferred.
A- Dark brown, almost stout-like in color but not quite as dark. Has a nice head on it, very light in color.
S- Aroma is mainly bourbon and barrel characteristics. Lots of vanilla coming from that as well, it's sweet like I'd expect in a barleywine. Has some heat on the nose as well.
T- Barrel character really comes through well in the initial sip, it is a bit boozy but it's 11% ABV so I was somewhat expecting it. It definitely gets smoother as it warms up, though. It has a strong vanilla presence in the taste, as well as dark fruits. It's sweet but not too sweet. One of the aspects of this beer that I liked the most was the aftertaste. All of the flavors become very rich and linger for a while.
M- More carbonation than I was expecting, didn't hurt the beer though.
O- This is a great example of a unique barrel-aged barleywine. Unfortunately it's retired, but if you can get your hands on a bottle I'd highly recommend it. I do however much prefer King Henry in comparison, but they're so different from each other.

Burnt-red walls and cozy furniture create a homey, welcoming experience for guests at Lena Salon & Spa, ideal for relaxing before a pampering beauty treatment. Salon and spa services run the gamut from haircuts to eyelash extensions and nailcare. Airbrush tanning, massages, and bridal packages are also available.
Natural light streams in through the salon's large front windows, casting a warm glow on the salon's earth-toned walls and black-and-white nature photography. Amid these cozy accents, skilled stylists Nina, Mollie, and Nicole cut multidimensional layers and rewire hair circuit boards with high-end Tressa products. Clients can also stop into the salon for an OPI gel manicure, or a waxing session to remove unwanted hair from the upper lip.
Sarah is a stylist at Elite Salon, a chic studio that's always current on progressive hairstyling trends and cosmetology techniques. Sarah offers cuts, coloring, and other hair treatments, relying on name-brand products and her artistic sensibility to help her clients attain their ideal hairstyle.
Everyone who visits Bella Donna Salon & Spa for hair services gets at least three treatments on the house: a scalp massage, a hand and arm massage, and an aromatic towel for their face. All those extra details are meant to make the experience a luxurious one.
The services themselves tend to have similarly extravagant touches. Inside the Aveda concept salon, stylists don't just trim and color; they also perform spiral perms and keratin-infused blow outs, which smooth the hair before shaping it into a celebrity's silhouette. Caribbean body treatment with a manicure and pedicure pampers the body with a seaweed mask and hot-stone massages incorporate sweet-smelling flower essences. The spa also offers Aveda facials, spray tans, and temporary Henna tattoos.
Sometimes lying in a tanning bed surrounded by warmth can be a relaxing experience. Now add a massage and a facial to that. Nestled inside Tropical Paradise Tanning Salon & Spa, All About You! enhances tanning sessions with body treatments that include aromatherapy massages and skin-clearing facials. A one-stop beauty-maintenance shop, All About You! is also filled with beauty professionals who tend to nails and wax away unwanted body hair or add drama with eyebrow tints.
Inside private treatment rooms at Re-Treat Day Spa, aestheticians pamper skin with facials and wax away unwanted body hair. Makeup artists dust pigment onto complexions and gently apply eyelash extensions, which can be fluttered quickly for a couple seconds of levitation. In the nailcare room, a vivid spectrum of traditional- and gel-nail-polish bottles from brands such as OPl await deployment in decadent, two-hour spa mani-pedis that soften skin with warm paraffin.
