No, this isn't an article about the lovely Mary Berry from the 'Great British Bake Off' but a celebration of plants that produce ornamental berries in the autumn and winter.
At this time of year berries can really lift your spirits, coming in a striking array of colours from red, orange and yellow to purple, pink and white, they truly are nature's jewellery box. As well as pleasing to the eye, many berries are also great for attracting wildlife into the garden, providing a much needed food source for the birds during the winter.
Here's a list of our top ten favourite plants that produce berries or winter fruits over the autumn and winter months. All of them are purely ornamental and will give you an upset stomach if eaten.
Callicarpa bodinieri 'Profusion' AGM, (The Beauty Berry)
The berries of this beautiful shrub are a striking violet-purple colour and start appearing in October. It is deciduous and fully hardy. Plant in a well drained soil in sun or partial shade. It does flower, small lilac flowers in the summer, but is mainly grown for its berries. It looks great, and fruits better, when planted in groups of threes and fives.
Pyracantha spp. (Fire Thorn) – A well-known indestructible evergreen shrub with spiteful thorns. It comes into it's own in the winter with an array of colourful berries. Variety 'Mohave' has red berries, 'Orange Charmer' has orange berries and 'Soleil D'or' has yellow berries.
Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) – A deciduous shrub with silver foliage, often seen growing on the coast. Height 8-12ft, producing orange berries (on the female form 'Leikora'). Plant with the male form, 'Pollmix, for pollination. Legend has it that Sea Buckthorn was the food that made Pegasus the flying horse fly!
Symphoricarpos orbiculatus 'Mother of Pearl' (Snow Berry) – a vigorous and invasive deciduous shrub mainly grown for its white berries. Great winter food for game birds but considered poisonous to humans.
Viburnum davidii – A small spreading evergreen shrub that produces white flowers followed by long lasting blue-black berries. Quite a useful plant as it will tolerate deep shade as well as full sun. (Berries not-edible).
Lonicera pilliata (Box Honeysuckle) – Another low spreading evergreen shrub, with small privet-shaped leaves, producing small white flowers in the spring followed by purple berries in the autumn. Any soil in sun or partial shade.
Gaultheria procumbens AGM (Checkerberry) – Small evergreen shrub ideal for winter tubs and hanging baskets. It has small bell-shaped pink or white flowers followed by long lasting scarlet red berries. Prefers acid to neutral soil and part to full shade.
Ilex aquifolium AGM (Common Holly) – You can't have a list of winter berries without including holly. A useful evergreen shrub suitable for sun or shade and for most soils. There are several varieties but both male and female forms are needed to produce berries. (Berries may give you a stomach upset if eaten).
Euonymus europeaus (Spindle) – A spreading deciduous shrub, with red or yellow leaves in the autumn. Any soil for full sun or part shade. Doesn't produce berries as such but the most striking pink fruits which split to reveal orange seeds.
Cotoneaster horizontalis AGM – A rather common, amenity shrub but it is still a useful addition to the garden. It is low growing and deciduous with pink/white flowers in the spring followed by red berries in the autumn. Any soil but happiest in full sun.
All of these shrubs are very easy to grow and are widely available.
So remember if you want to get colour into the garden in the autumn and winter, don't just think of flower and foliage colour but also think berry colour. You won't be disappointed.

If you asked 11-year-old Lee Kettering he'd tell you that he just doesn't like cheaters. But he did like Lance Armstrong.
But the reason Armstrong reached hero status to Kettering and his 10-year-old brother Hudson wasn't about the bike. It was simply because the now-disgraced cyclist fought cancer, just like them.
The two brothers from Manheim Township, Lancaster County both suffer from a rare genetic disease called neurofibromatosis type 1 or N.F.
The disease can produce cancer and affect skeletal structure. Lee Kettering has worn a leg brace nearly his whole life.
So playing sports was out of the question, until Lee presented a pretty convincing argument to his mom last year.
"He has never in 10 years been able to play a sport, he wants to play baseball and Lee goes, 'Yeah, if Lance can do it why can't I?,'" their mother Jennifer Kettering said.
The family was excited when they met Armstrong several years ago at a Livestrong event outside Philadelphia. But if you asked them how the feel about the cyclist now, it's a different story.
"The point that he looked at my kids, and lied, like how can you look at their faces and lie?" Jennifer said.
And if you asked both the boys, they would give you a straight answer.
"I don't like people who cheat," Lee said.

The country's cricket, at all levels, is suffering because of players' reluctance to challenge themselves
February 15, 2013

Report : Eighth consecutive title for ROI
Teams: India
As I watched the last day of the Irani Cup unfold, completely inconsequential, and devoid of a challenge, I wondered what it is about our cricket system that encourages so many teams to play safe, to believe that getting the first-innings lead is all that matters. It bothered me - and I hope it bothers a lot of people - that a higher sporting goal, that of winning the game outright, seems to be so low down the priority of most teams.
Among the many responses I got on Twitter when I posed the question why, one came from Anand Halve, among India's foremost marketing analysts. "Do you think 'It's ok if you don't win but don't lose' is a reflection of a national mindset that goes beyond cricket?" he asked, and being the analytical sort, promptly followed it with another: "The Minimax vs Maximin criterion as a motto for living?"
The definition of Minimax in game theory, simplified, is (courtesy Wikipedia): "… each player minimises the maximum payoff possible for the other - since the game is zero-sum, he also minimises his own maximum loss (i.e. maximises his minimum payoff)."
At the start of day five of the Irani Cup, Rest of India were 413 ahead with 90 overs left in the match. Remember, it was a last-day pitch, and except on day one, a run rate of four an over hadn't been reached. You would have thought 4.5 runs per over would have been not only a safe enough challenge but also one that would have given their bowlers the best opportunity to take ten wickets. Instead, they batted on and set Mumbai 517 from a maximum of 67 overs.
When I asked Harbhajan Singh, the Rest of India captain, if he had contemplated a declaration overnight, he suggested that on a track like that, they didn't want to offer the opposition a chance. He was minimising the maximum payoff possible for the opposition (to win the game by chasing 413 on the last day) but also maximising his minimum payoff (to win on first-innings lead). In this case, aiming for his maximum payoff, winning outright, would have been excellent for cricket, would have given his bowlers something to play for on the last day, and would have thrown the gauntlet down for the Mumbai batsmen, who would have had no choice but to go for the target, since otherwise they had lost the game on first-innings lead.
And so we had another day of low-pressure, low-challenge cricket, which, as it turns out, is ingrained in India's domestic structure. The idea of challenging yourself to discover how good you can be is unfortunately considered outdated, unfashionable or just stupid. Which is such a pity.
To go back to Halve's question: is this a national trait, to effectively do just enough to get a favourable but sub-optimal result? And is this reluctance to take pressure reflected in a fragility that is manifest when pressure is inevitable? It is for the social scientists to examine whether this is a national trait, but on the evidence of a little bit of research, I have to conclude that it is an overwhelming feature of Indian cricket.
Let's start at the top and the now infamous Test in Dominica in 2011. India, leading the series 1-0, had to make 180 from 47 overs to win. Their worst-case scenario, a defeat, was remote. By the time they moved to a target of 86 from 15 overs, with seven wickets in hand, it had disappeared. India could either draw or win. They chose to draw rather than challenge themselves to win. The result was favourable (a series win) but sub-optimal (1-0 instead of 2-0). It suggested India didn't want to be pushed.
One level lower, we saw the mindset in the Irani Cup. Even more unfortunate was Mumbai's approach in their Ranji Trophy match against Gujarat. Needing 135 from a minimum of 41 overs to seal an outright win, Mumbai opted to dawdle to 65 for 1 from 27 overs, with opener Kaustubh Pawar scoring 15 not out from 88 balls. If you love bright, attacking cricket, you would have been particularly pained by the statement by the Mumbai coach: "It wasn't really going to matter eventually - whether we went for the target or not. The fact is, we have achieved the objective of qualifying." Mumbai allowed themselves to play dull, purposeless cricket instead of challenging themselves for a superior cause.
Go lower and at Under-16 level you have a similar attitude. It is inevitable, for youngsters to be looking at what senior cricketers do. Sample this from Mumbai v Jharkhand in the Vijay Merchant Trophy quarter-final. Mumbai made 360 and bowled Jharkhand out for 46. Facing a seemingly inevitable innings defeat, Jharkhand found themselves fielding again while Mumbai made 440 for 9, a lead of 754. They then left Jharkhand around 33 overs of batting. The moment Mumbai's lead went beyond 450 or 500, there was no competitive interest left in the match, and the only purpose was generating numbers - statistics that would look good on paper, batting averages. What you didn't get was a contest that would make those numbers relevant.
Worse still by batting on, you are looking at generating batting numbers rather than allowing bowlers to win the match in the fourth innings. By the time the bowlers are given their shot, there was no competitive element left in the game. How do you produce attacking bowlers who can win you a game in a 50-50 situation on the last day if they don't get the practice to do so? By minimising the maximum payoff possible for the opposition, teams, and therefore Indian cricket, lose out much more in the long run.
From time to time, the technical committee of the BCCI has tried to make winning outright more attractive than winning by merely achieving a first-innings lead, but committees cannot change mindsets that have been ingrained over generations. Till the mindset changes to one that rewards winning, India will have to live with batsman-dominated-but-largely-uncompetitive cricket.
Minimax might be a good concept in some business situations, even in some sports, but it is harming Indian cricket.

Click here to see photo album from Big Sis/Lil Sis pumpkin painting
Auburn gymnasts are getting into the Halloween spirit this week. The Tigers kicked off the week with the first of three events on Oct. 26 with a Big Sis/Lil' Sis pumpkin-painting event and will participate in the Downtown Trick-or-Treat event on Oct. 30 and will dress up for practice on Oct. 31.
The Tigers hosted a Big Sis/Lil' Sis pumpkin-painting event on Oct. 26, to open the week's festivities. The pumpkins will be given to various groups in the community.
For the past four years, the Big Sis/Lil' Sis mentor program has matched Auburn gymnasts with young gymnasts from the Auburn Gymnastics Academy, owned by Auburn coaches Jeff and Rachelle Thompson.
"It's a great program because the college gymnasts provide the younger gymnasts with encouragement in both academics and gymnastics," said associate head coach Rachelle Thompson.
"We had so much fun painting pumpkins with our little sisters," said senior gymnast Claire Seiffert. "It's always nice when we get together. They really look up to us as role models."
Auburn gymnasts will then team up with the City of Auburn Parks and Recreation Department to help with the seventh annual Downtown Trick-or-Treat on Oct. 30. The gymnasts will be handing out candy and signing autographs from 6-7 p.m. near J&M Bookstore.
"We are really looking forward to helping with the trick-or-treat," said senior gymnast Lindsey Puckett. "We've had so much fun handing out candy and meeting the children in the past. We hope for a good turnout this year."
"They will do anything to get out of conditioning," said Thompson. "It's a good time of the year to bring some competitive fun into the gym that does not revolve around the sport."

I'm building up my assembly and I want to add a daylight sub-assembly in order to grade my proposed surface to the existing surface. Typically I would have a 1:3 slope up or down. I have choosen the DaylightGeneral for this and although there is quite a few parameters to play with, I'm only interested in the up/down slope but when I put anything sleeper than 1:4 it doesnt work, I get this red line and circle. Can anyone tell me why?
Thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Dan has it right. DaylightGeneral also has height limits for the test of flat slopes vs. medium or steep slopes. You need to make sure that the flat limit < medium limit < the steep limits.
Please use the Accept as Solution or Kudo buttons when appropriate
I find that the DaylightGeneral subassembly is not very general. For simple models, with single cut and fill slopes, I use the DaylightMaxWidth. It has fewer properties, which makes it easier to use. Just make sure to specify a maximum width value that will not constrain the slope.
Thank you all for the answer, worked a treat.
I do however agree that the daylightgeneral is a bit complicated for something 'general'.

Finding the right prom hairstyle for long hair is not such an easy task because it is a special occasion and you want to look formal but at the same time young. If you want to go traditional then your job is easy, just go to the salon and ask your hairstylist to make a classic up do or curl your hair and pin it up. However, if you want to go with something a little bit special then choose a style that matches your style and does not look like you are going to a pageant. Here we have some suggestions of prom hairstyles for long hair if you have long hair:
- Loose and flowy: instead of styling you hair into an up do let it loose. If you have long hair you will not have to do a lot to it to look good. To take it from day to formal just straighten it with a flat iron or curl it. This way your hair will look young and fresh just like you. You can even use products that make your hair look shinny.
- Pretty pony: another idea would be to pin your hair into a pony tail. All you have to do is slick you hair back tightly and hold it in place with an elastic band. To cover the elastic band just take a piece of hair from the back and wrappe it around the band, to keep it in place use a bobbing pin. If you want to look amazing with this hairstyle you will have to use a flat iron to straighten you hair.
- Shimmering Chignon: the chignon is a classic hairstyle which has become very popular among the stars. So, if you want to look like you are walking the red carpet in Hollywood all you have to do is slick you hair back and hold it with an elastic band. The pony tail should be at the level of your neck. To hide the elastic band just take a piece of hair from the back and wrap it around the band, hold it in place using a bobbing pin.
These are some of the prom hairstyles for long hair that you can use on your special day. There are a lot of things you can do and hairstyles you can try for long hair, and the possibilities are almost endless; if none of the above recommendations seem suitable for you and your style, or for your type of hair, then you can always look for more options on a fashion blog. For example, there are websites that focus on celebrity hairstyle, makeup and fashion, and there you can see what the latest trends are, finding inspiration for your prom hairstyles. A fashion blog can be very useful to any young woman experimenting with looks and trying to find a style of her own. As you can see you have a lot of options if you have long hair you do not necessarily have to look like you are competing at a pageant.

Tax breaks are taking up air space this week.
The biggest defers future tax dollars to create a pool of money up front that Lord Corporation is using to relocate to the former Bush Industries building in Summit Township.
Where to place tax breaks is also a key issue in the race for president.
Traditionally Republicans have favored plans that provide incentives for those who have the money to spend, hopefully on new projects that would create new companies and with them new jobs.
President Obama is advocating taxing those dollars and giving the breaks to the middle class, arguing that the economy will be stirred better if more people are walking around with a few dollars to spend.
Which path will produce better results is of course a decision for you to make come November.
Now Erie City Council is looking to renew the City's LERTA program, which provides up to 10 years of tax breaks on a sliding scale for new construction or significant renovations.
A stingier formula from Harrisburg means the tax breaks are a little less for new homes but the program is a little more generous when it comes to major remodels like a new deck or garage.
Commercially, the biggest change could be that the entire waterfront is being taken out of the LERTA designation and any future development there will not be eligible for a program enjoyed by almost every homeowner in the city.
Does this mean that development on the water will come to a grinding halt?
I'm told "no."
First off, there isn't that much waterfront land ready for development, with the exception of the 23 acres that used to be home to the GAF plant.
Secondly, developers are sure to raise a fuss but at the end of the day the properties available are just too desirable so development there will move forward.
Tax breaks aren't going anywhere. Most communities offer some kind of tax incentive package and if we don't would be at a severe disadvantage to not only entice but even keep business here.
But taking the waterfront out of the tax break district seems like a low risk, common sense move that preserves dollars for where the program is intended.
To fix up that which otherwise might not draw much interest.

Sept. 1 , 2011
There are so many encouraging stories of Muslims who have committed their lives to Christ. I thought I might share this one from a friend who works with the Jesus film project and is now using a video entitled Magdalena to reach Muslims.
A young Muslim girl was very strong in her belief, choosing to wear a veil even though that is not something that is very common in her region. Nevertheless, she was preaching a strong message of Islam and admonishing every woman in her village to wear a veil and conform to the strict form of Islam.
One day she went to the market to buy a veil for her cousin as a birthday gift. She told the shop keeper that she knew her cousin would not wear the veil. But she felt as a Muslim it was her obligation to convince her cousin that Islamic law requires it.
The shop owner took the opportunity and gave her a Magdalena video telling her, "I am doing the same thing as a Christian. I am not forcing you to view the movie, but my Lord ordered me to share His message of salvation with you. Please watch this movie." She took the movie in order to not offend the shop owner and left with the veil and the movie.
The next day at 9:00 o'clock she returned to the shop with tears in her eyes saying, "I want to tell you one thing: I have worn a veil for almost five years and I wanted my cousin to be veiled. After watching this movie I understood that the best veil I will have with me forever and for every one is the Spirit and the message of Jesus Christ in me. Jesus gave me power, assurance, new life, dignity and peace." She removed her veil and proclaimed with tears and a smile, "I am a Christian now."
This is but one of millions of stories of Muslims coming to Christ due to personal witness, proclamation through broadcasting, and videos. And it illustrates what can happen when we are willing to pass on a tract, a book, or a video to the Muslims we meet. Most of all, we should all be encouraged by what is happening in our world today. I'm Kerby Anderson, and that's my point of view.

SALISBURY, Md. - A Salisbury man was arrested after allegedly breaking a window and destroying property at his ex-girlfriend's home.
The Wicomico County Sheriff's Office say they were investigating a broken window at a Booth Street home, which lead them to Michael Johnson, the homeowners ex-boyfriend, as the suspect.
A few hours later, the homeowner called the Sheriff's Office again, saying that Johnson had returned and destroyed a flat screen TV, stabbed her mattress with a knife, flipped over her coffee table, stole alcohol, and cooked one of her frozen pizzas.
While deputies were on scene for the second time, another deputy in the area found Johnson, nearby on East Road. They say that he was resisting arrest, until a second deputy was able to assist, and get him into a patrol car.
Deputies say that while they were driving, Johnson started spitting on them, and banging his head against the prisoner cage. Officials say that he was visibly under the influence of alcohol.
Johnson was charged with malicious destruction of property, theft, resisting arrest, and assault, and is being held at the Detention Center on $300,000 bond.

Scumbags of the Internet: Nate Diaz
Scumbags of the Internet is a little segment of a youtuber named Adam Buckley. Buckley has a channel named ADoseOfBuckley were he angrily rants about pretty much everything under the sun. Normally on his Scumbags of the Internet segment he goes after random douchebags he finds on facebook and Twitter but since he just happens to be a UFC fan, it's Nate Diaz's turn. In this episode, he adresses the whole Caraway, Healy, 'fag'-shitstorm of a couple of day ago. He adresses, refutes and debunks a lot of arguments that were also made in the comments sections here such as the meaning and context of the word 'fag' and whether or not weed is a PED. In case you're wondering why i care what this guy thinks, he reminds me of Unambig as they are both angry, sulky Canadians that swear alot and everytime Unambig posts i read it in this guy's voice. What do you guys think about what Buckley has to say?

Exclusive: "I Don't Just Write 'Chick Flicks,' I Write Movies That Are Good Movies"
Wednesday, Sep 25, 2013 2:30PM
[With his new star-studded Baggage Claim 48 hours away from hitting theaters, filmmaker David E. Talbert gives SOHH readers the scoop on juggling an all-star cast of actors ranging from Paula Patton and Jill Scott to Trey Songz and Affion Crockett.]
I write movies that I want to go see. So I make sure there is enough stuff in there for everyone. I don't just write "chick flicks," I write movies that are good movies and we all want to go see.
Putting a team together like Rickey Smiley and Affion Crockett and Nefew Tommy and Terrence J and Trey Songz is important. I put those guys and those parts in there because the guys that come out to see these movies laugh just as loud as the chicks laugh.
There's just some craziness in there that all of us brothers can relate to because we've all been there. And so, it's something for everybody. It's sort of how [1999's] The Best Man was. It was a movie for everybody. That's why people loved it so much.
I approach every day and every scene as if that's the most important one in the movie. And so whether I'm working Paula Patton today or working with Taye Diggs, I think a movie is a collection of small movies that we call scenes. When you add them all up together, they make one great movie. That's how I approach it. Otherwise, it's easy to get overwhelmed with all these people and all these scenes and all this personality.
I try to make every scene count and make sure there's a beginning, middle and end to it so that you feel like you got a full meal. Then when you add it all up together, you're like, "Oh man, this was a dope movie!"
Playwright, filmmaker and novelist, David E. Talbert has written and directed multiple nationally acclaimed touring productions that have garnered an unprecedented 24 NAACP nominations, including a win for Best Playwright of the Year and the prestigious NAACP Trailblazer Award. He has most recently completed a 40-city record-breaking tour of his 13th stage production What My Husband Doesn't Know. In addition to his many successful stage productions, the multi-hyphenate directed the Sony Pictures comedy First Sunday starring Ice Cube, Tracy Morgan and Katt Williams. Talbert just wrapped his second feature film, an adaptation of his Best-Selling novel Baggage Claim. The movie, which stars Paula Patton, Derek Luke, Taye Diggs, Jill Scott, and Djimon Honsou, will be released by Fox Searchlight on September 27, 2013.

September 2 2014 Latest news:
by Cllr Claire Kober
Sunday, December 22, 2013
The leader of Haringey Council on the runaway success of the Play Streets scheme.
"This is not about the council running the show and telling residents how to do things – it's about us simply removing obstacles to community activities and empowering residents to make things happen for themselves."
I'm really pleased that this week we've been able to announce our plans to expand the popular Haringey Play Streets, giving more kids the chance to reclaim their streets for fun.
The project, which allows local communities to close certain roads to through traffic so that children can take to the streets to play, kicked off this year in Avondale and Clarendon Roads in St Ann's.
It was launched after enthusiastic parents came to the council to ask for support in getting Play Streets up and running in their road. They wanted to do something to bring neighbours together, celebrate community spirit and give their kids the chance to take centre stage. What they needed from us was to remove the hassle and bureaucracy of road closures – and we were happy to help.
Play Streets gives young people the opportunity to skate, cycle, sprint and hopscotch just outside their own front doors and it also paves the way for parents to get to know each other better. It helps develop a stronger sense of community spirit.
Following the success of Avondale and Clarendon, the buzz started to spread and a similar scheme was launched in Pemberton Road on the Harringay Ladder, with residents once again in the driving seat.
What's important is that this is not about the council running the show and telling residents how to do things – it's about us simply removing obstacles to community activities and empowering residents to make things happen for themselves.
That's why we're eager to see the scheme expanded and it's why we won't be making any charge for applications to close roads for Play Streets. I'm hopeful that, come next spring and through the summer, Haringey will be home to dozens of schemes.
For me, Play Streets is the perfect example of how we can team up with our communities to deliver on the projects that matter most to them. And I'm delighted that we've seen similar examples of the council and the community coming together to make a difference during 2013.
The community clean-up of Parkland Walk – spearheaded by the Friends of Parkland Walk – was a real highlight for me. The Friends worked with Haringey Council and waste contractors Veolia to lead a team of more than 130 volunteers in a clear up that saw a staggering 24 tonnes of dumped rubbish removed from Parkland Walk between Finsbury Park and Alexandra Palace.
I was hugely impressed by the energy, enthusiasm and determination of the Friends and the volunteers and I was proud that the council was able to work side by side with them.
This is how I want to see Haringey improving further during 2014 – through harnessing and supporting the community spirit that can be found across the borough; through empowering our residents and through genuine team work that can give us all an even greater sense of local pride.

Around 9:30 Tuesday morning, Shelby Babcock reported to Arizona Wildcats practice, looking as she always had, in a gray T-shirt and red shorts, and declaring herself ready to pitch.
Twenty-four hours earlier, she sat in the hospital with what she described obliquely as the "flu - and some other stuff," wondering whether she'd be able to pitch Friday against Baylor in the NCAA softball tournament's College Station, Texas, regional.
"I was a little freaked out," the junior said.
She left the hospital midday Monday, regained her appetite and slept through the night, which she called a "a big, big booster in my confidence that I'll be back." She felt "a lot better" Tuesday, and practiced, albeit with caution.
"I'm going to pitch Friday," she said.
UA coach Mike Candrea was "very surprised" to see her at practice.
"Knowing her, she wants to be on the mound pretty badly," he said.
Catcher Chelsea Goodacre was similarly thrilled.
"Seeing her back out here at practice is really reassuring," she said, "knowing that we're going to have her this weekend."
Whether Babcock will be at full strength Friday is another question - especially after being sick for five days.
Even if Babcock pitches, the UA figures to rely on freshman Nancy Bowling and junior college transfer Estela Piñon, too, given the muggy weather and the chance the Wildcats could play five times in three days.
"Nancy and Estela have been doing awesome," Babcock said.
Bowling grew up watching the Women's College World Series on television with her father, and expects her tournament debut to be "intense" and "nerve-racking."
The Wildcats have helped Bowling - who has a nervous stomach and a penchant for over-thinking - deal with those emotions better as the season unfolded. Goodacre often tries to loosen her up.
"She keeps reminding me, 'You gotta have fun with it,'" Bowling said. "That's what it is: We grew up playing this game, and we love it. Just remember why you play it.
"It's not super-intense. And it's not life or death."
Goodacre said Bowling "has a hard time remembering her successes" when she's on the mound.
"She focuses too much on her failures," the sophomore catcher said. "I've been through that on the hitting side, so I know what it's like to be there.
"So I make her focus on, 'Look at how many girls you struck out. Remember your good games.' And really taking her out of the moment.
"Making her have fun. Because we're out here to have fun.
"And when she's serious, that's when she doesn't do as well."
Piñon, too, admitted to being "very stoked" about her tournament debut, which will likely come out of the bullpen.
"Being a closer, a reliever, I go in there saying, 'You know what, I have nothing to lose,'" Piñon said. "'Just go out there and play your game.' And it's been working.
"I'll keep that up."

It's been three years since our city officials initiated a smoking ban in Lubbock restaurants.
I've tried to find out but there are no records here to show whether we have fewer emergency room visits because of our local ban, but I think we can get a good comparison now from what they're finding in New York.
A random study of New York residents has found levels of a byproduct of nicotine dropped nearly 50 percent after that state issued restaurant and bar smoking bans. Researchers took saliva samples from 2,000 participants between 2003 and 2004 before and after the ban to see the difference it makes when you cut back on second hand smoke publicly.
By the way, the Surgeon General says there is no risk-free level of second hand smoke exposure. The only way to stay safe is to completely ban smoking indoors.

The News is All Black
The All Blacks brand is among the biggest in the world of sport and certainly the most well known and respected when it comes to rugby union. A strong brand is one thing but backing this with stellar performance is another. The marker is a Rugby World Cup and herein lies the problem. Since a commanding victory in the inaugural, unprofessionalised, tournament at home in 1987 they've won absolutely nothing, zilch, zero, sweet fanny adams, two-fifths of bugger all! Well unless you count a swag of tri nations and the best win loss ratio of any rugby playing country bar none. It's just that the William Webb Ellis trophy has been everywhere except Wellington. The 2011 manifestation is just around the corner and if you have a house, a sheep station or have recently won the lottery, give your friendly bookie a call and plonk it on the AB's to win. They will! I know, I know, I know – we've seen this all before. Commentators (especially those of the Australian persuasion) revel in seeing them beat all and sundry and then say something along the lines of 'good to see the All Blacks peaking between World Cups' (nudge, nudge, wink, wink and cue loud guffaws of laughter). It will be different this time. They are gobsmackingly good and the manner in which they dispatched 2007 champions South Africa over the last couple of weeks was breathtaking. Although slightly less dominating against Australia (and aided by a dumb Wallaby side) they are head and shoulders above any Southern Hemisphere nation with daylight before pasty Poms and Gallic flair alike. And in a much needed boost to rugby worldwide, the manner in which they have achieved is wonderful too. Brutal, powerful, dominating force up front before a phalanx of supremely talented backs with skills that only a God could have bestowed are unleashed. Curiously beautiful and gloriously effective. The intensity of expectation will surely have a toll on the squad but an All Black victory on home soil come October 23, 2011 is assured. You can bet on it.

How oft when thou, my music, music play'st, Upon that blessed wood whose motion sounds With thy sweet fingers when thou gently sway'st The wiry concord that mine ear confounds, Do I envy those jacks that nimble leap, To kiss the tender inward of thy hand, Whilst my poor lips which should that harvest reap, At the wood's boldness by thee blushing stand! To be so tickled, they would change their state And situation with those dancing chips, O'er whom thy fingers walk with gentle gait, Making dead wood more bless'd than living lips. Since saucy jacks so happy are in this, Give them thy fingers, me thy lips to kiss.

I complain about this EVERY game. The leafs stroll out onto the ice in jerseys that are more basic than a nine year old's Triple A hockey team's practice jerseys.
Look at all the original 6 teams. Beautiful and classic jerseys. Look at the leafs - they look like ECHL grade jerseys. Frankly, its embarassing (especially when watching with Habs fans).
Something needs to be done. The Leafs need to go back to the more detailed leaf, drop everything that relates to harold ballard.
There was that Leafslogo site, but I feel the movement started by that site died, and PPP needs to pick up the slack. The dark home jerseys rendered on that site are amazing.
I read somewhere they are going to add some horizontal lines to the current "practice" jerseys (...as i called them earlier), but that really won't do this historic franchise justice.
PPP, lets make some noise and get the jersey issues changed. The franchise has tons of money (and history)...lets see them create something timeless.

ESCONDIDO (CBS 8) - A car full of people drove off the road and slammed into an Escondido home overnight, and authorities say this isn't the first time this has happened at this residence.
The vehicle, with seven people inside, crashed into a home in the 3000 block of Bernardo Lane around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday.
California Highway Patrol officers say the driver was speeding and took a turn too fast, crashing into the side of the home. The car landed on its side with a shattered windshield.
No injuries were reported and CHP officers say everyone appeared to be wearing their seat belts at the time of impact.
The 23-year-old driver was arrested at the scene on suspicion of DUI. Some of the other occupants took off running following the crash. However, none of them will be cited
The homeowner was not home at the time of the crash.Neighbors in the area say in the past a similar accident happened at this house and that time the vehicle crashed and landed on the home's porch.

Greensburg —
With snow flurries and freezing temperatures eminent, the Decatur County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) offered some safety advice to brave the cold earlier this week.
EMA director Rob Duckworth, implores residents to exercise caution and common sense when using alternate heating sources such as space heaters.
- Space heaters should be kept at least three feet from flammable materials such as draperies, blankets, clothing and bedding.
- Never plug a space heater into an extension cord or surge protector.
- Turn off space heaters when abandoning a room for an extended time.
- The correct grade of fuel should be used for liquid-powered space heaters, and never use gasoline.
Caution should be used when choosing wood and burning material for fireplaces.
- Be sure that firewood does not have creosote, an oily, easily flammable deposit that is the cause for most chimney fires, and the largest share of home heating fires.
- Artificial logs should not be used in wood stoves.
- Do no use flammable liquids to start a fire, only use paper or kindling wood.
- Fireplaces should have a sturdy screen to prevent sparks.
- Ash should be allowed to cool before being deposited into a metal container.
- Fuel-burning equipment should be allowed to vent clearly and unobstructed to the outside.
GetPrepared.IN.gov, where Duckworth took his information, also offers advice on how to drive safely in the winter weather and what to do in the event of wrecking and becoming stranded.
The first bit of advice before driving in winter weather, is always make sure your car is in order. Check your vehicle's wheels, engine, antifreeze, windshield wipers and blades and brakes.
- Carry extra supplies such as blankets, and spare clothes such as mittens, boots and hats.
- Carry nonperishable food and drinks such as water, granola bars, nuts or crackers.
- Bring a car cellphone charger.
- Have a tire repair kit and pump.
- Don't pour hot water over frozen locks, the water will refreeze.
- Keep your gas tank at least half full, and fill the tank before parking for lengthy periods. Having gasoline in the tank will prevent the fuel line from freezing.
- Always be aware of driving conditions before leaving home.
- Do not leave the house if there are severe weather warnings in place.
- In the event of a power outage, try to keep cash on your person, as ATMs will likely not work.
- In the event of wrecking in a deserted area, remain calm, and remain in your vehicle while waiting for rescuers.
- Tie a brightly colored cloth to the antenna of your car so rescuers may see you.
- Run the heat in your car once an hour for 10 minutes. An idling car uses about one gallon of gas per hour.
- Never eat snow for hydration. The snow will make your body temperature lower.
- Move around to keep your blood circulating.
- If you are stranded in your car, do not leave your car unless help is immediate.
Humans aren't the only critters who need help fending off the cold.
Additionally, Laura Johnston, manager of the Greensburg/Decatur County Animal Shelter, offered some advice on how to care for animals kept outside.
- Make sure dog houses or shelters are facing east or south. The cold winds normally come from the north and west.
- Do not use cotton blankets for outdoor shelters. Cotton is extremely cold when wet. Instead, use straw, but make sure the straw doesn't get moldy.
- Outdoor animals need water more than ever in the dry, cold weather. Make sure the water is fresh daily, and isn't frozen.
- Outdoor animals need extra food for the winter to help keep warm with extra padding.
Johnston added that if anyone is need of straw, people can come to the animal shelter to obtain some. The animal shelter can be contacted at 812-663-9081, and is located at 1635 West Park Road.
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) has also given some advice for protecting pets.
- Keep your dogs on leashes. If the dog gets loose, they can lose their sense of smell in the cold weather more easily than any other season, and become lost.
- Never shave your animals during the winter, they need their full coat more than ever.
The EMA also provided an explanation of all the jargon used when describing weather advisories:
Winter Storm Advisory - Cold, ice and heavy snow are expected.
Winter Storm Watch - Heavy snow and ice are very possible over the next couple of days, so finalize preparations and listen to a weather radio or forecasts.
Winter Storm Warning - Severe winter weather is in the area. Heavy snow and/or ice will begin soon.
Blizzard - Strong winds over 35 miles per hour that reduces visibility.
Sleet - Rain that falls and turns into ice before it hits the ground.
Freezing Rain - Rain that falls and turns to ice once it hits a surface.

Expressionism is a rare style in post-war American architecture but it found ready acceptance in the Denver area. Expressionism is only vaguely related to the German Expressionist style of the early 20th century, which is why is may be inappropriate to call the American style Neo Expressionism, as some do. Expressionism's reliance on theatrical sculptural forms contrasted both the woodsy charm of the Usonian, on the one hand, and the crisp rationality of the International Style and Miesian on the other.
The Expressionists picked up the tradition of dramatic building forms that had earlier manifested itself in the United States in the Moderne, such as the many buildings constructed for the 1939-1940 New York World's Fair. Whereas Moderne buildings often evoked the speed of a locomotive, it was the jet age that many Expressionist buildings suggested. Eero Saarinen's 1962 Dulles International Airport in Chantilly, Virginia outside Washington, D.C. clearly makes the case with its smooth and continuous lines.
Expressionism in American architecture was broadly conceived and included the more clearly hard-edged and geometric approach taken by Walter Netsch for Skidmore Owings and Merrill in the design of the Air Force Academy Chapel of the 1962 outside Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The Expressionist style was never dominant in American architecture because the soaring forms it favored and the experimental materials it preferred were too costly. It was also the same fiscal issue that guaranteed that most Expressionist buildings, with notable exceptions such as Dulles and the Air Force Academy Chapel, were in the form of luxurious houses.
The origin of the term is unknown.
Defining Characteristics:
• Sculptural forms
• Irregularly-shaped windows
• Non-traditional structural elements
• Use of experimental materials
• Use of cast-in-place concrete
• Same materials used inside and out
• Organic or geometric floor plans
• Organic or geometric ornamental programs
• Use of the cantilever
• Dramatic site planning, use of topography as a design element
• Butterfly or other unconventional roof designs
• Roofs as continuations of the walls

Pembroke schoolboy's memory to live on at Dezza's Cabin
10:02am Thursday 30th January 2014 in News
THE mother of a 14-year-old boy who was found hanged at Pembroke School is setting up a service to help young people.
Derek Brundrett was found in a small wooded area near the school reception by his friends at about 1.30pm on Thursday, December 12.
More than 1,200 people joined a Facebook page dedicated to Derek, on which his mum, Kristina Wray, asked people to post ideas for a project in his memory.
Now she and others are working on Dezza's Cabin, which will see a school cabin, where Derek used to spend time with friends, turned into a place for young people.
During the day there will be a signposting service for parents, but after school the cabin will be for children and young people.
"Derek had five self-harming incidents," said Kristina. "When I was trying to get him help there were always barriers, walls, procedures.
"I know there are rules, I know there are procedures, but how far does a kid have to go before being listened to?"
The cabin will provide access advice on bullying and self harm, as well as counselling services.
More than £2,500 has already been raised by the community, but the main problem is finding a place to put the cabin and Kristina is looking for anybody with premises to rent.
"All of the kids want this, they really do, so let's give it to them," she said.
"I don't want to blame anyone for Derek's death. He was his own person with his own mind.
"He did what he did for his own reasons, which I still don't really know. All I know is if he had had that support and help he might not have done what he did."

I felt it was OK that the the Schools head teacher said that we shouldn't comment on this story until the investigations were complete - that was fair enough BUT THEN he said of course there was no bullying at the school - sorry, you've apparently pre-judged things haven't you.?
Poor poor lad, I feel so sorry for his family

News: Ruff Ryders' Eve Searching For Love, "I Need Somebody In My Life"
Wednesday, Jul 14, 2010 2:00PM
Ruff Ryders' Eve recently opened up about her personal life and revealed that she is currently looking for romance.
Speaking in a Sister 2 Sister interview, Eve said she is no longer dating ex-boyfriend Teodorin Obiang and recently parted ways with a man from Ghana.
"I was going to Ghana for a while just because that's where he is from. He's an amazing man. We keep in touch every so often. He was a great guy, but I knew it wasn't right. We definitely didn't have the same things going on in our heads, as far as what it is we wanted as a life. He pretty much was down to do whatever I wanted to do and I don't need that, you know? I need somebody in my life that's going to challenge me. Like, I definitely want to be priority, but I don't want a sap." (All Hip Hop)
Earlier this year, Eve was named as a suspect in a money laundering scheme allegedly involving her ex-boyfriend Obiang.
Senate investigators spent three years tracking money flowing into the U.S. from the accounts of her on-and-off again boyfriendTeodorin Nguema Obiang. He is the playboy son of President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo of Equatorial Guinea, the corrupt dictator whose three-decade reign has been marked by rumors -- believed to be falsely spread to incite fear -- of cannibalism. Investigators believe most, if not all, of the millions in cash came from corruption related to the massive oil and gas reserves off the coast of the tiny West African country. (ABC News)
Following the reports, Eve resorted to Twitter to deny the accusations.
"Non of that is true," she wrote Thursday (February 4) afternoon. "Please don't believe everything you read on the internet. it's negative and I don't f*ck wit negativity. People trynna Test me. Now listening 2 Sizzla "praise ye Jah" and "head over hills" RT @MusicPrincess96: @TheRealEve True.I dont believe in these negative thinngs.They just rumours. Thanku!!! Thank ya'll 4 the support!!!!! Life is crazy 4 everyone and we all get tested. My friend suzette just said 2 me she tells people u hate on." (Eve's Twitter)
Aside from working on a new album, Eve recently signed a deal with Creative Artists Agency to help guide her career.
Multihyphenate Eve has signed with CAA in all areas. On TV, Eve most recently guest-starred in several episodes of "Glee," and she has appeared on "Third Watch" and "Numbers." Her self-titled UPN sitcom ran from 2003-06. Eve's long-delayed fourth album is due this year, and she also is relaunching her fashion line, Fetish, with People's Liberation founder Danny Guez. The rapper-actress is additionally repped by Jon Shank at Azoff, Geary, Paul Management and attorney Aaron Rosenberg at MAFG. Eve moved from CAA to William Morris in 2002 and recently left WME.

Cyber Monday has proven to be the busiest online shopping day of the year. But if you're not careful you could fall victim to a scam.
Last year Cyber Monday sales alone exceeded one billion dollars, and those numbers are expected to increase this year. But as those numbers climb so does the threat of being scammed. Cyber criminals are expected to steal over five billion dollars from online shoppers over the entire holiday shopping season. But watch out because online scams happen even after you've purchased your items.
According to the President and CEO of the Better Business Bureau of Acadiana Sharane Gott when you get an email with shipping and tracking information the first thing you should do is check where it is coming from to make sure it's a trustworthy source. Gott says it could prove to be a virus, capable of stealing your personal and banking information.
Updating your computer with the latest virus protection, checking your bank statements often, and keeping proper documentation of all orders will dramatically reduce your threat of being scammed.

Just have a little story for all of you:
So, I was working at Houston's Restaurant in Los Angeles tonight (I'm a server), and I look over to the bar and there he was, Jason Richardson. And while we are definitely not supposed to say hello to celebrities at work, I didn't really give a damn tonight. It was Jrich! Anyway, I just went up to him and told him how much the bay area is going to miss him and he seemed genuinely sad about having to leave. I said that the day he sets foot in the Oracle next year when we play the Bobcats that he'll really hear how much he meant to the bay area. Anyway, it was a nice way to say thanks to my all-time favorite Warrior.
Just wanted to share...
Anyone else have an good Warrior encounters?

Funding boost for Air Ambulance
2:14pm Tuesday 9th April 2013 in News
Wiltshire Air Ambulance is set to receive a share of £180,000 from The Freemasons' Grand Charity, as part of its latest round of grants.
The money will be split between services spread across the country, including Great Western Air Ambulance and Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance. Grants range from £4,000 to £20,000 with a further £12,000 yet to be allocated.
Laura Chapman, chief executive of The Freemasons' Grand Charity, said: "We are delighted to be able to show our support for air ambulance charities once again with a donation of £192,000.
"Supporting these rescue services remains popular within Freemasonry because of the important work they carry out in communities across the country.
"We hope that the £1.3 million that has been donated since 2007 has made a valuable contribution and helped to save lives."
Since the Freemasons became a regular support of air ambulance charities in 2007, they have donated £1.3 million to the 22 air ambulances which cover England and Wales.

So here's a little something. It's not up for download right now--I'm seriously considering cutting an EP--but I hope you'll listen to it anyways. This is a basic re-master of a song I wrote back in '06-'07; I hope you like it.

I was brought over to your page by your Song of Storms/ Zelda's lullaby track and just wanted to say: I'm really digging your style of Original compisitions. Keep it up I'll be looking out for your name in the future
Beautiful like all of your songs!
This song just feels :) You are so amazing! I just found your work a short while ago and let me say you are incredible! Im a fan :) Can't wait to hear much more!!
Thank you ^_^
It's nice to hear that someone out there appreciates something creative I've sent out into the universe. Really makes my day.
I'm still coming back here like every other day to listen to this. Is the album out yet? No? How about now? No? How about now? No? How about...
I'll release something soon; once I have enough tracks to justify an EP that is.
Well dang, I wish I'd found this over a month ago when you posted it. Beautiful, and rather moving. You know, when I discovered you, I loved your stuff because it was all video game remixes, really high quality ones, and I love me some video game music. Eventually here and there you started releasing original songs with lyrics, and every time, I find myself loving them. Underestimate Me, 1679, and now Lusterfly, all really moving songs. As much as I love your video game remixes and hope you continue to do them for years to come, it's been neat to see you expand beyond that into your awesome originals, and see your talent bloom like this.
Aww thanks :D You've been amazing support over the years.
I could listen to your beautiful voice all day long. Very well done.
Oh you. :D
This is really nice, madame. Your voice is so beautiful and sincere.
Thank You ^_^
elle, about your song Loz Fairy loop, you used reason 5 didn't you o.o
If "Reason 5" is a program, then no. I use Mixcraft.
Is that your voice? because if it is youve got a beautiful voice! :D
Yes it is ^_^ thank you for the compliment.
This is a FANTASTIC song. The composition is just sublime -- it's so hypnotic and so permeating. It's the most powerful in the most subtle way, if that makes sense.
And you mentioned in your youtube description that you'd like feedback, so here it goes :P
-- It is magnificent that you managed to pack such an emotional punch (well, it felt more like a blade) while having a vocal track that stayed in one octave. And it's a perfect register for your voice IMO.
-- Love how the piano backing up the 2nd verse went up to a higher scale than in the first. Thought you could do the same at the end of the song -- maybe push the piano one octave up at 4:48, and cut down/out on the vocals?
-- Small nitpicky thing 1: Perhaps the trickiest part to sing in this song is at 2:43, "alone and feeling so filthy from his kiss," while "fil -- thy -- from" coincides with the 3 notes slowing down. I felt that you started the f and th sounds a tad early, so there is a short delay before you actually hit the note.
-- Small nitpicky thing 2: at 4:17, between "worth the tears I cry" and "but no one needs", it seems the vocals shifted to the right a tiny bit. Maybe you turned your head a little during the recording, or was it two takes spliced together?
-- And I love this song right down to its name. So clever and image invoking. Also, I just googled Lusterfly and this very news post is the first match (while the youtube video being the third). So you totally OWN this name :)
In conclusion, thank you for this. You won't believe how many times I've listened to this already since yesterday. Definitely my favourite song of yours, and I'll buy any album that has this in it.
Yeah, Lusterfly is my name. Splice of Lust and Butterfly. She floats about beautiful and intoxicating, but is easily crushed, easily dismissed for the greater beauties on earth.
Sorry. A pinch tangential there.
I'm an alto; the higher notes are not my forte, no pun intended. I'm glad you appreciated it's fit to my voice.
I'm probably not going to change the piano. I wanted to make it feel full circle, as this is the life cycle of such a creature.
I definitely could have accidentally turned my head lol LOTS of distractions in my recording space. And these are in no way going to be absolute final vocals. Just a rough cut to put on Youtube.
Thank you for your detailed remarks! I appreciate them! :D
this is beautiful and amazing. hehe . you should release an EP! im working on a CD now, its a bit of work but you'll know if its something you have to do or not. either way keep playing!!!
Well, thank you. I'm working towards it now. :D
Thanks! :D
That's amazing :)
Thank you ^_^

And let us face it. The political establishment and the media, and many of the so called "christian" big box organizations have been portraying those who have fallen from "grace" as lazy, dirty and worthless. It makes it possible for them to keep on making the cruelest cuts on the backs of the poor, the mentally ill and children with the complacent approval of the public, who really should know better. Many of us are in fact one cheque off the street.
Lost your job and need EI? LAZY.

Banana RepublicSubmitted by pale on Mon, 12/19/2011 - 21:55.
It just gets more and more ludicrous on a daily fucking basis here in Harperland.
Now the Harpercons want Canadians to boycott bananas from Chiquita, because that company has said they don't like dirty oil, and would prefer to source their fuel from other sources....
The Harpercons partners in environmental crimes (and crimes against common sense) the "ethical oil" groups, are paying for ads.
Scheer partisanshipSubmitted by pale on Fri, 12/16/2011 - 17:24.
Skullduggery and complete bullshit. And the new speaker, a conservative from Sask says it's reprehensible, but ok. It didn't affect Irwin Cotler's ability to do his job. Scheer said.
I say again, what a load of bullshit.
So the Cons will keep on doing what they have been doing, pushing the envelope and breaking the spirit of every law they can. Because apparently they can? Creating even more cynicism and distrust with the voters.

Since May 2011, there has been an increase in crime. Mostly in Ottawa.
And then goes on a wild crime spree, lying about some supposed "mandate". Which of course would only be true if they had the majority of the voters on their side. They are forcing their ideology with no debate, despite court rulings, and effectively shutting out the voice of 60% of the population.
Lying is a bad habit, and the cons do it far more often than anyone else.
Of course, "media" even trivializes it.
Gimme actual instances, asshole.

We live in what they term as a "fixer upper".
Sometimes they just have to get done, as demonstrated the other day when the bathroom window almost fell out. I came home from work, and there it was, new. Smaller because that was what was available. "I tried to open it" was the explanation from L'hommevert. Makes sense to me.
Original 1940's windows, but the frame around this one had dissolved. I think that it was a justified repair?
Here is the new smaller window, and new wainscoting and molding that has gone in the last few days. None of the walls are straight, so it is like a puzzle. Way too much work, time, and anguish to demo and replace the plaster walls, so this was the plan.

So then we end up compressing, making stuff small. Losing a lot of quality, a lot of time is wasted.
And for all of that, I get nothing. I get wasted time, hackneyed footage and loss of quality.
That is not the free market. So please, big ISP's, get stuffed. I do not particularly care if you have a nice day or not. I am in fact hoping that ticks and fleas invade your offices. They may not find much to feed on. Parasites tend to avoid other parasites.

I am disappointed about so many things too Christy!
In your whole party line. In the installation of the HST through lies and subterfuge. In the stalling on removing that corporate welfare tax, despite a resounding smack upside the head from the voters. In the BC Rail scandal. I am disappointed in your socialist mentality, only when it comes to your rich buddies.
Most recently, the crony appointments YOU made.
And this backtracking, is only because you got caught.
So, take your sanctimonious bullshit and stick it right up your ass. :) And do have a nice day!

How Valley athletes spent their Thanksgiving
And in the midst of their respective grueling seasons or even offseasons, it's always interesting to see how a 'day off' is spent.
Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald will try to help Arizona snap a six-game losing streak Sunday. But that didn't keep him from giving back Thursday.

Suns rookie guard Kendall Marshall is adjusting to pro life in just his first month in the league. So with no practice on Thursday, he chose to catch up on some much-needed TV time.

Once a kicker always a kicker for Jay Feely. Even away from the office, Feely couldn't help but feel for fellow kickers Jason Hanson and Shane Graham during the highs-and-lows of the Texans' 34-31 overtime victory.
Anyone who says kicking is easy; Shane Graham knows if he misses this kick his career may be over. That's pressure!— Jay Feely (@jayfeely) November 22, 2012
The Cardinals Calais Campbell may return Sunday after missing last week's game against the Falcons. But on Thursday, all the defensive end could think about were the fans.

DEVA Flaxseed Oil is one of the finest supplements on the
market. These vegan flaxseed oil capsules provide all the benefits
of flaxseed oil without having to taste the oil itself, which many
find unpleasant. It is one of the most potent animal-free sources
of Omega-3 essential fatty acids and is completely free of fish
by-products. These essential nutrients, often missing from the
Western diet, support cardiovascular health and overall joint
flexibility as well as proper brain function. Omega-3 fatty acids
can help restore the body's natural balance of good and bad
prostaglandins, and flaxseed oil has been scientifically proven to
help treat some cases of depression*. Flaxseed Oil is a great vegan
alternative to fish oil to ensure an adequate intake of the highly
necessary omega-3 fatty acids. Each bottle contains 90 capsules (45
days' supply). $8.99 per bottle.
Supplement information:
Serving size - 2 capsules
Servings per container – 45
Alpha Linolenic Acid (omega-3) - 535mg

Perhaps one of the most frequently asked questions about Tristan's Swinger is whether it can be used to 'Un-swing' a song. Can you take a song that already swings and straighten it out? Indeed, the answer is yes – we can swing both ways – but it is harder to unswing than it is to swing. Ammon on Happy Blog, the Happy Blog has given de-swinging a go with some success with his de-swinging of Revolution #1. Read his post and have a listen at Taking the swing out of songs. I can't wait for the day when we can turn on the TV to watch and listen to MTV-Unswung.
