I will be storing draw numbers (1-60) in fixed values and fixed order.
One draw has 4 numbers
another has 6 numbers
and another 2 numbers
My idea was to separate each draw type in a separate sql table. The question is, would it be optimal to store the numbers in a single column separated by a delimiter....
ID(int) | numbers(varchar)
or store each number in a separate column instead?
ID(int) | num1(tinyint) | num2(tinyint) | num3(tinyint) | num4(tinyint)
I won't be needing to search for the numbers when they're stored.

Report: Yankees worth MLB-best $1.2 billion
NEW YORK -- There's money in those pinstripes.
The New York Yankees' value increased 17 percent in the past year to $1.2 billion, Forbes magazine said Thursday in its annual estimates of franchise worth.
The Florida Marlins, given the lowest value at $244 million, had the highest operating income at $43.3 million, according to the magazine.
"As usual, the franchise valuations and operating income numbers are pure fantasy and based on no correct information," Marlins president David Samson said. "To comment on such irresponsible journalism would only give it more credit than it deserves."
The magazine defended its article.
"Forbes compiles its annual valuations of Major League Baseball franchises based on information obtained from team executives, sports bankers, public documents, and other sources believed to be reliable," spokeswoman Elizabeth Wasden said. "We stand by our figures, and the content published."
Despite the record evaluation for the Yankees, Forbes said they were the only ones to post an operating loss after revenue sharing last year. The magazine estimated the Yankees were $25.2 million in the red on operating revenue of $302 million, after revenue-sharing payments to the commissioner's office. The Yankees estimate their revenue-sharing bill for 2006 will be about $70 million.
"I am gratified at the Forbes valuation of the Yankees," New York owner George Steinbrenner said in a statement. "We are continuing to build a worldwide brand for the people of New York and Yankee fans everywhere."
The New York Mets were given the second-highest value ($736 million), followed by the Boston Red Sox ($724 million), the Los Angeles Dodgers ($632 million), the Chicago Cubs ($592 million), World Series champion St. Louis ($460 million), San Francisco ($459 million), Atlanta ($458 million) and Philadelphia ($457 million).
At the other end were Florida ($244 million), Tampa Bay ($267 million), Pittsburgh ($274 million), Kansas City ($282 million), Milwaukee ($287 million), Minnesota ($288 million) and Oakland ($292 million).
Franchise values did not include provisions for television networks owned in whole or part by teams, such as the YES Network (Yankees), NESN (Red Sox) and Comcast SportsNetChicago (Cubs), Forbes associate editor Kurt Badenhausen said.
The Dodgers had the second-highest operating income at $27.5 million, followed by Pittsburgh ($25.3 million), Cleveland ($24.9 million), the Mets ($24.4 million), Colorado ($23.9 million), Cincinnati ($22.4 million), the Cubs ($22.2 million), Seattle ($21.5 million), Milwaukee ($20.8 million) and Tampa ($20.2 million).
Rob Manfred, baseball's executive vice president of labor relations, criticized Forbes' figures last year but declined comment Thursday.

Guest Picks: Update a Traditional Living Room
Give traditional style a younger look with a few well-placed pieces
I'm the founder and editor of Rooms and Words, a two-headed blogazine about all things design. I also contribute regularly to shelter magazines in Israel and love styling and decorating for my family and friends.
I'm the founder and editor of Rooms and Words, a two-headed blogazine... More
Currently Featured in: US
I'm currently helping a family update their living room décor. The traditional wood cabinetry they've had for years dictates the vibe of the room, so we're looking for furniture and accessories that will work well with the classic look yet portray the family's fun and young personality. Here are a few picks that will help you update a traditional living room, too. — Chedva from Rooms and Words
Vintage Suzani Pillow, Large - $350
Vintage textiles are so great for adding depth and personality to a room — I just can't get enough of them. The pink one is my favorite.
Treetop Chandelier - $648
This chandelier, inspired by treetops, is both classic and tongue-in-cheek. I love décor that doesn't take itself too seriously, and I think this will be a great fit for a living room.
Tan Moroccan Leather Pouf - $450
I love this leather Moroccan pouf because it adds some bohemian fun to any room, yet it still looks timeless because of the leather.
Ditte Sofa, Tufted - $3,998
This is a brilliant take on the classic tufted sofa! This sofa has tufting on the outside instead of on the seat. The legs are so elegant.
Lilly Pulitzer Home Lillian Side Table - $429
Doesn't this side table look like something out of Beauty and the Beast or Aladdin? I would smile every time I set my coffee mug on it.
Washed Hexagonal Tile Printed Dhurrie - $29
I think this dhurrie will look great in a room with traditional bones because of its lightness and slightly geometric pattern. The color will also help lighten up the heavier feeling of the wood cabinets.
Fairmont Nickel & Mirror Side Table - $995
What I love about this mirror table is that it can function as both a side table (you can never have enough of those) and a display/storage piece. The mirror and the nickel are great because they're reflective and make the space look bigger. They look good in any decor scheme, whether traditional or contemporary.
Calla Lamp - $275
This is such a fun lamp. Accent lighting is so important to create a mood, especially in a living room. Plus, if you pick table lamps, you may as well make a statement. I love the size of this Calla Lamp.
Faceted Mirror Side Table - $199
It never ceases to amaze me how versatile antiqued mirrors can be. I love the triangles that the facets create on this piece because, like all geometrics, they make a space instantly more hip.
Jade Byblos Pillow - $55
This pillow is based on a timeless Moorish pattern, and the colors bring it right to modern times.
Etch Pendant, Brass - $375
Tom Dixon designs lighting that is cutting edge yet looks like it has always been here. This pendant is perfect for adding a modern twist to your traditional living room.
Rens Sheepskin, White - $29.99
You don't have to use this sheepskin as a rug — just throw it on any modern chair to cozy it up and make it speak to the more traditional pieces in the room.
Wassily® Chair, Canvas - $1,800
Marcel Breuer's Wassily Chair is an instant modern update for your room. It's breathtaking.
Swedish Cassanova Loveseat - $1,300
I love the clean lines of this love seat. It's like the perfect marriage between Swedish and French design, and it can work in so many different decorating schemes. Versatility is key.
Subway Sign Art Washington - $650
Typography is an instant update to any room, especially when it's in black and white.
Nelson Limed Oak Screen - $2,998
Another quick update is adding a screen. It's a great way to add pattern, height and interest to a room. I love that this one is made of limed oak.
Origami Coffee Table - $1,298
Simple, clean lines plus a glass top is perfection in my book. This is a coffee table that will allow your decor to shine and won't dominate too much visual space.
Jonathan Adler Lacquer Tray, White - $150
I love trays because they're useful as well as decorative. This one by Jonathan Adler is sophisticated with the lacquer finish, but it's still simple enough to work with traditional decor.
Meurice Rectangle Chandelier - $1,350
This is another fun chandelier to love. It has midcentury-modern style, but the gold and brass will make it fit in a more traditional setting while adding some glam to the mix.
Ceramic Elephant Side Table - $250
This elephant is so whimsical and sweet that it will take years off of a too-serious living room. You can use it as a side table, a plant holder or a place to just put a stack of books.

- Brunch is excellentKenLauVIPDined on 11/16/2014We've had lots of dinners at Kimberton over the years -- all of them outstanding --- but this was our first visit for a Sunday brunch. The appetizer (Ruby Red grapefruit brulee) was awesome, and the entrée (2 eggs over easy, wheat toast, bacon) was straightforward, and the bacon was done to perfection. Just what I've come to expect from the best local restaurant in the area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not as good as usualLarryVIPDined on 11/14/2014We ate here from time to time. Two of the four entrees were not very good - pasta dish and chicken wit mushrooms.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Kimberton Inn - Good Food & PriceyjackieluvstoeatDined on 11/9/2014Great ambiance; quiet setting; attentive service; well-maintained restaturant. Filet and seafood dishes very tasty. Nice wine list. Certainly no one will leave there feeling stuffed. Portions are beyond meager.Special Features:
- A true GemMealTicketVIPDined on 11/8/2014Beautiful ambiance, in late fall and winter there are lovely fires going in its multiple fireplaces. This has been our special occasion restaurant for years. It has never failed to impress. Service is attentive but not pushy, we have never felt rushed. The food straight forward, not fancy but always superb . Overall it is sophisticated but not fussy. A very comfortable place to spend an evening dining out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Kimberton.... our favorite!CountryGourmandDined on 11/4/2014Kimberton Inn never ceases to please whether it's a romantic dinner for two or a big group gathering. The staff and owner/operator go to all extremes to make your dining experience great. The food is imaginative, delicious and nicely presented. I use Kimberton Inn as my "go to" restaurant for business dinners, out of town guests or family gatherings. Love it!Special Features:
- GT1956Dined on 11/4/2014For our 36th wedding anniversary I treated my wife to a romantic dinner at the Kimberton Inn. The meal more than lived up to our expectations. The menu, wine list and service were all excellent and good value for money. I will go again even if we do not have a special occasion :) GlennSpecial Features:
- Sunday brunchgourmetjanDined on 11/2/2014On a cold, windy Sunday, the fireplace was very welcome. I love the "menu" brunch instead of a buffet brunch. I am so glad that you offer it. It's hard to find in this area. Service and food were excellent. We were not rushed at all and we really appreciated that. Fellow diner who is a former restaurant owner said it was the best crabcake he's ever had. They plan to be "regulars".Special Features:
- Perfect 1st anniversary dinnerMyziggy18Dined on 11/1/2014We had a wonderful time celebrating out 1st anniversary dinner here. We had amazing food with excellent service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/1/2014Myself and the other 3 members of the party were very pleased with the taste of the food, the ambiance and the special attention given by our waitress and the other assistants.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/23/2014We have dined at the Kimberton Inn several times, and have always been impressed with the friendliness and professionalism of the staff, the romantic atmosphere, and the quality of the food. We will be coming back, and we will be recommending the Inn to all of our friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experiencePhillyMovieGoerDined on 10/18/2014First time at the Kimberton Inn. Seated at a table near the entrance as opposed to the main dining room area which was fine but would have been nicer in the dining room - likely a function of out reservation time. Pork chop, lamp chops, deserts - all fantastic - really an exceptional food and service experience. Will be going back.
- Best in Chester CountybudgetwinoDined on 10/17/2014Tremendous dining experience. An historic setting that gets it right. The service is impeccable, but not over bearing. Likewise with the wine list; plenty of choices but not ten pages long. The grilled pork loin and the grilled lamb chops were superb. The piano player is also a nice touch. It's not cheap, but it's worth every penny.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always SpecialFrequentVisitorDined on 10/17/2014We go to the Kimberton Inn frequently. Conveniently located to our home, the food and drink are fantastic. Always great specials every evening in addition to the regular menu which is also great. Out most recent visit was to celebrate my wife's birthday and anniversary - the staff took extra care to ensure a wonderful evening. We have been fortunate to have Tara tending our table for the last several visits. Her level of high quality service and knowledge of the wine list makes the evening even more special. Highly recommend Kimberton Inn for any dining occasionSpecial Features:
- UnderwhelmedOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 10/16/2014I was so excited to try Kimberton Inn based on the reviews. "The best salad..." was very good, although clearly pre-fab, as it came out about a minute after I ordered it. When our entrees came out, I almost laughed at my wife's tenderloin. This was no better than Iron Hill food, just disguised in a fancy ambiance.Special Features:
- MichaelVIPDined on 10/11/2014As the season changes and a cold breeze fills the air, this Inn is not to be missed. The smell of wood fires ablaze in five working fireplaces, adds to the already stellar experience.Special Features:
- Charming location and delicious fooOwlSaverDined on 10/10/2014We have eaten at the Kimberon Inn several times. It is always good and the setting cannot be beat. I love it in the winter when all the fires are going. Funny how the title limit left me with foo instead of food. Oh well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Local Gemthreshershark1Dined on 10/9/2014My wife and I go to the Kimberton Inn ever year since we had our wedding reception there. Each time we go, year after year, the service and food are always top quality. The menu is not as extensive as larger restaurants, but the Chef has perfected what is on the menu. You will not be disappointed with any item on the menu, it is all delicious and attention is given to the presentation of the food on the plate. This last time, I had the Australian Lamb Chops and my wife had the Salmon Fillet. Both were excellent, which wasn't surprising as again, everything we've had there in the past was absolutely excellent. The service staff are all professional, warm, happy, knowledgeable, and ensure you will enjoy you time there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- JordannotPretentiousDined on 10/5/2014We have been here twice and loved it both times. The first time was during a snow storm, so the restaurant was nearly empty. There were a few louder groups during our more recent visit, but in general, the ambiance was still very nice.Special Features:
- Always a delight!ATLtransplantDined on 9/30/2014The service is exceptional...not in your face but subtle, vigilant, and responsive. Ambience is perfect and the noise level is quiet. Food never disappoints.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very Uneven19490localVIPDined on 9/30/2014Presentation of the food was awful for such an elegant, pricey place. Food was good, but there were no vegetables. Two pieces of potato sliced lengthwise on the crabcake platter. Chester County is known for their farms. Green beans are in season. Maybe they could have put a few on the plate. Service was beyond slow. Waitress asked us if we wanted to order additional drinks, AFTER we got our food. By the time we got the wine list, our meal was half over. We kept hinting that it was our friend's birthday and nothing was said until we were about to leave. When I made the reservation, they specifically asked me if it were a special occasion.Special Features:
- Don't get a glass of wineGoodvaluemanDined on 9/27/2014This use to be a go to place for us since it was romantic, good food and a good value. Not so much anymore. Food was still good but portions went down and prices went up. My wife fit a glass of Chardonnay and she received about 1/5 of a glass for $9.50. I would have been embarrassed to serve that. When she did not want another glass our server changed her attitude and the service went down hill from there. Save you money. Go somewhere else!
- Amazing Dinner!FirstTimerDined on 9/21/2014We have been at the Kimberton Inn several times for brunch and my wife had been wanting to try it for dinner. When her birthday arrived this was her place of choice. We had lived in CT. for 10 some years and upon moving to the outskirts of Phila, we've found it difficult finding a restaurant worth anything outside Phila. The Kimberton is most likely going to be our new special restaurant. Form the appetizers to the deserts, the food was fantastic. Without a doubt the best meal I've had outside the city in 4 years!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely brunchvinogal48Dined on 9/14/2014My husband and I wanted to celebrate our anniversary with a brunch and chose the Inn. It was our first visit and we were very impressed, with all aspects but the service was truly outstanding! We will definitely return.Special Features:

- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/6/2014Nothing really to complain about here. The food was delicious, service was kind, and the building is a gem (if you like historical architecture). My only complaint I believe is the coconut shrimp appetizer comes with only 2 shrimp. I felt this was an odd amount. 3 shrimp or 2 larger count size would seem adequate even if the price would have to be raised, but they were still delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- 2nd experience not as good as 1stDJFROMPHILLYDined on 8/30/2014This was my second time eating here. My first experience was very good. As before the service was good, no problems. Our issue was the food. Everything was very bland. In our prior experience they had some type of seasoned bread, very tasty. This time they had flavorless rolls. I had the lobster bisque soup, I had to put some salt in it to try to rescue it. Didn't work. There was one tiny piece of lobster (the size of two kernels of corn). I had a salad called "the best salad you will ever have" Filet Mignon and seared lobster tail. Everything was tasteless. I don't understand. Not trying to kill the restaurant, maybe it was just an off night. I could have paid 1/3 the price and had a much better meal from a steakhouse.
- Always OutstandingOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/29/2014We are frequent visitors to the Kimberton Inn, as it is a few miles from our home. Our most recent visit confirmed why we go there and why we would drive an hour to dine there. Great food, outstanding service and friendly staff.Special Features:

Sliders? Where to get these little fellas?
- t
- tenpercenter27 Sep 28, 2007 02:25 PM
I'm looking to find a place that has really great sliders or mini-burgers on the UWS or midtown east/west. I am specifically looking for good quality, maybe kobe. I read that Bouchon has them occassionally.
PJ Clarke's makes delicious sliders. No qualms with the quality; Kobe is unnecessary since cooking Kobe beef to burger temps pretty much ruins it, in my opinion (that's a different thread, though, huh). Talking about the 55th and 3rd Ave location--can't speak for the Columbus Circle location since I haven't been there.
has anyone had any experience with the Bouchon sliders? Do they serve them on specific days, or is it just a case of right day, right time?
re: guttergourmet
september cover of bon app featured little owl sliders on the cover. stanton social has a variety, including kobe on their menu. i am a lurker planning a couple nyc trips, so haven't been to either. so no personal opinion here, but i did trip over these recently.
re: bluedog67
The little owl sliders are very good but of the meatball variety, topped with high quality cheese, on really good, cheesy buns. They are also messy! They come 3 to a plate, but the kitchen very graciously split ours into 4 so we could better share.
Believe it or not, Ruth's Chris makes the best damn sliders I've had...and the best in NYC, IMO.
Thanks for all of the replies. Stanton Social does look enticing, but not sure I'll have time to make it downtown. I'll cross my fingers for Bouchon.

Skiing for lifeMarch 28,2013It may sound strange to admire as a role model someone youve spent only a few anonymous minutes with and will probably never see again.
And yet that happened to me last weekend on a chairlift at Sunday River.
The guy who joined us from the singles line was exclaiming over one of those perfect days on the New England slopes. He was 72, retired, and a winter migrant to Maine.
All of our friends went south when they retired, but we came north, he said. For the skiing.
No Florida for him. I play enough golf in the summer, he said. Why would I want to be hitting a golf ball around in the winter, too?
Why indeed, when one can be skiing?
Nor is my chairlift companion a lonely outlier. Last month, after a morning of amazing skiing courtesy of the Blizzard of 2013, my wife and I repaired to a lovely, large-windowed lodge for coffee and cinnamon buns. Looking up once my plate was scraped clean of the last drop of frosting, I noticed that we were two of the youngest people in the bustling mid-mountain eatery. Which is remarkable when you consider that, to appropriate (and update) a line from A.E. Housman, of my four score years and ten, 50 will not come again.
It was one of those moments when you declare: Wow, if this is what senior citizenship is all about, sign me up. Now, I realize that health problems frequently interrupt plans for an active retirement. Sometimes, instead of 70 being the new 60, it insists on acting like the new 80. The spirit may be willing, but the body isnt.
But even there, attitude matters. A few years back, while riding a lift at Waterville Valley, I shared a chair with a 74-year-old who told me hed been skiing 50 or so times that winter. When I expressed my envy, he noted that he was trying to make up for the winter before, when hed missed the entire season.
Quadruple bypass surgery, he said.
A few weeks later, I was relating that story to a friend while on a lift at Mount Sunapee. Id like to be like that at 74, I said. Absent the heart surgery, of course.
A skier who had joined us on the lift spoke up.
Im 80, he said.
Wow, still skiing at 80, we replied. Good for you.
Perhaps he found our expressions of congratulation tinged with some unintended condescension. At any rate, as we made our way down the slope, the same skier came zooming by us at a speed that as much as said: Catch me if you can.
I encountered the antithesis of that doughty New England spirit last summer when a colleague and I did some talk-with-the-voters interviews at The Villages, the 55-and-up Florida gated community where residents tootle between quaintly themed town squares in tricked-out golf carts.
One fellow in particular sticks in my mind. To my eye, he was only on the near edge of senior citizenship, but he said hed already been at The Villages for several years. The day hed retired, he proudly reported, hed packed up his car and made a beeline there from the snowy Midwest.
To each his own, I suppose. But as for me, Id rather stick my hand into a can of annoyed spiders than live in a cloistered community like that. Talk about leaning into old age.
One who turned determinedly the other way was Emile Allais, the great French skier and pioneer of the parallel turn, who died last year at 100.
At 90, Allais broke his shoulder in a collision with (surprise, surprise) a snowboarder. But once it mended, he was back out on the slopes. Allais skied well into his 90s. He had even bet his doctor that he would beat him down a celebrated run at Chamonix on his hundredth birthday.
After only nine decades on skis, you can hardly blame him for wanting more. Sadly, however, a deteriorating sense of balance kept him from doing that race.
Still, his was a life well-lived. And well skied. Oh, to follow in his snowy tracks.

Our room was clean and the beds comfortable. Not the most elegant Hampton Inn, I have stayed in, but the staff was friendly and the rate was right. The gym has one bike, three treadmills and one elliptical a large screen TV and a water fountain. Good size breakfast area serving a good breakfast from 6-10 a.m. Something for every taste at breakfast. Free, secure parking (at least if you don't have a huge SUV) in the underground garage.
Across the street from Lechmere T station for quick access to downtown Boston and other points along the T routes.
When I compared other hotels and added in their extras for parking and breakfast, other hotels could not compare in terms of bang for your buck.

Randy observed that Whiskers was straining in the kitty litter box but nothing was coming out. I called the vet and they had him come in right away. There was no blockage but his heart beat was irregular so they did further bloodwork.
Turns out he had a UTI and crystals forming which is why he's been peeing in my house. I've been to them twice now over at LEAST a year where I've mentioned the peeing and they've never tested him before. Just said he was "spraying." So of course, I cried instantly on spot when they told me this because its been going on for a LONG.
He's on two different antibiotics, pain meds, and a special food. Poor guy had an IV. The pain meds make him really loopy. I can't wait until he feels better and am so glad that Randy saw him today otherwise this could've gone on for a long time!!!!
Here's a pic of my sweet boy:
haha. Or at least that is probably what I looked like during Zumba tonight. I was in the middle of the dance called "Sweat" (yes, you sweat during it) when a camera guy walked into our Zumba class tonight and randomly starting filming. Since I've been going to cardio dance, I wasn't use to the routines so I was probably also not very coordinated. He was filming VERY close to our faces... Hopefully that video doesn't make whatever commercial they were making. LOL
Any ways, a hour worth of zumba tonight and I am rocking these fitness minutes out of the ball park!!!
Also went to a thirty one party today and got a bag in turquoise, a matching scarf, and a piggy coin purse (don't judge...it was really cute). I've included a pic below, its a bit more hot pink than the pic conveys...and the backside of it has a corkscrew tail. That was a bit of an impulse buy. :)
Nonscale victories:
My waist is getting trim with all this dancing. I can feel my body hardening.
Things I'm thankful for:
Randy being supportive of me: he doesn't mind that all I keep talking about is exercising and when I told him I had buyers remorse he said that I deserve to buy myself nice things once in awhile.
A relaxing day off with nobody calling me from work!!!
I went to cardio dance today (45 min class). Then I decided to stick around for Bootcamp class (intermediate). I knew the class was going to be tough when I looked around and a lot of the people in the class were men, and they all looked pretty in shape. I started to have my doubts at the beginning, but decided to try it any ways.
I made it through 20 minutes of the class. I chose to walk out at break because I knew my body could not physically handle 25 more minutes of the class after 75 minutes of kettlebell yesterday and then cardio prior to the class. On the bright side: a lot of the body builder looking guys looked like they were HURTING and none of them had done a fitness class prior. I was keep up with them all the way until the 20 minute mark. I didn't want my body to physically shut down in the middle of class so I stopped.
I feel bad for walking out, but at the same time I was actually proud of myself. I was hitting the push ups and then getting right back up to do the squats and other exercises with the rest of the class. I think I will have to work myself up to a full 45 minutes of that class.
Nonscale victory:
Despite being intimidated by the appearance of the class members, I decided to try the class any ways. I went out of my comfort zone, and I was pretty proud of myself for that.
Things I'm thankful for:
Having a day off tomorrow.
Kathy, my co-worker.
Wasn't planning tonight's fitness classes out very well. I got through kettlebell training (beginners) for 30 minutes. Then was informed there was a 45 min (intermediate) class. To go through kettlebell you actually have to be on the list and pay a little bit more money for it (i didn't know). So I decided to that I should attend the intermediate class instead, which led to 75 minutes of kettlebell training.
Then I went to cardio dance for 45 minutes. I am wiped out. lol Any ways, I got a good LCW in for BLC because that was a total of 120 minutes.
That rings my fitness minutes in for the week at 392. I was aiming for 200 minutes so WHOO HOO!!!!
Nonscale victories:
My waist is getting smaller and stomach flatter.
My endurance is increasing and I FEEL stronger.
I could do the yoga pose that you have to get into a plank and then push yourself into downward dog without resting my body on the ground! Its taken my AWHILE to get the upper body strength to do that!
Things I'm thankful for today:
Surviving? lol :-D
Having fun while working out.
Randy and cameron.
I had a body composition, cardiovascular and flexibility test this weekend. It was awesome. It says that to be the most optimal me, I could lose a MAX of 34.8 and gain 3.3lbs of muscle mass. I calculated that and that would put me at 125. I use to think 115 lbs was ideal, but this tells me differently. Put some things into perspective, because again, THIS IS NOT ABOUT WEIGHT LOSS for me. Its about living a HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. I want LEAN MUSCLE. Less FAT. I also was told that I have good cardiovascular endurance. I'M SO PROUD!!!!
I pre-made my very first meal for the week yesterday! I did breakfast burritos, they were great!!! I scrambled eggs, used a low carb/high fiber tortilla, turkey sausage, orange bell pepper, diced onion, cumin, spinach and 2 oz shredded cheese, for 240 calories!! They are DELICIOUS and super filling. The guys have already been scarfing them down...I used approximately 8 eggs for 9 burritos. You could also use egg whites to cut the calorie and fat content if you wish. Trouble is, at this rate, 9 burritos isn't going to be enough! lol
I also got enough food to make other meals this week (hopefully this will work out). I will make more meals next weekend in advance.
So I did 90 minutes of cardio again - cardio dancing and cardio kickboxing (the kickboxing really did me in today!!!) I felt so proud of myself in kickboxing - I really EARNED my sweat today.
I ate 1500 calories today. Trying not to worry about that. I worked out a lot more than an "average" day so I had to increase what I ate. I was shaky after the workouts and felt hungry. Had to fuel my body. I wanted to make sure i had enough in my body to have a quality work out and recover from it.
Nonscale victories:
Being told that I had good cardio endurance.
Being in the "normal" range for muscles. I really thought I might be in under. All this hard work has paid off. Now just to work to get it to be in the "above normal" range. :)
Things I'm thankful for:
Alive community center. Its making working out so much fun for me.
Randy for being supportive of my new work out schedule.
Great sparkfriends, you make me feel awesome!

A deeper shade of green at Redwood Hill Farm & Creamery
At Redwood Hill Farm we're reducers, reusers, recyclers… and composters!
With a bit of time, kitchen scraps, plant clippings, and straw & hay from the barns turns into what we love to call "black gold"! It's part of our ongoing commitment to the environment of our community, and our constant striving to be as "green" as we possibly can.
This commitment has enabled us to recently receive certification and recognition as a Sonoma County Green Business, and the news on our Green Business Certification was the lead news item in The Press Democrat's Agriculture Briefs , Sunday December 15.
The Sonoma Green Business Program (www.sonoma-county.org/sonomagreen) is a partnership of government agencies and utilities that assists, recognizes, and promotes local organizations, focusing on small to medium-sized consumer-oriented businesses who voluntarily operate in environmentally responsible ways. Certified participants must be in compliance with all environmental regulations and meet program standards for conserving resources, preventing pollution and minimizing waste. Select here to download more about our new certification.
A Warm Thanks from The Ceres Project
As part of a fundraising event recently for The Ceres Project, we hosted a "Mystery Tour" of 25 people who crawled the back roads of Sonoma County to learn, taste, and enjoy some baby goat love at Redwood Hill Farm! Thanks to Lorelei for the lovely blog post and pictures from a simply wonderful afternoon for all.
We are honored to donate probiotic kefir and yogurt to the meals program each week applaud founder Cathryn Couch, founder, for caring so deeply about local community.
Recipe: Raw Goat Milk Feta & Sun-dried Tomato Spread with Basil
The following recipe is from the Ceres Project's "Nourishing Connections Cookbook". Fresh and delicious because it's made with Redwood Hill Farm Goat Milk Yogurt and Goat Milk Kefir, this dip pairs equally well with crackers or crudite!
"Nourishing Connections Cookbook" is available!
We have a copy at Redwood Hill and I find myself picking it up often when looking to be inspired for a creative nourishing meal or from the heartwarming writing on improving my own diet. The links & resource section are wonderful as well.
It's Golden For Redwood Hill Farm Cheeses: 2013 Sonoma County Harvest Fair Results
Drum roll please…
Official results for the 2013 Sonoma County Harvest Fair are in! We're thrilled to announce Redwood Hill Farm Artisan Goat Cheeses once again were awarded top honors with Three Peppercorn Chevre AND Raw Milk Feta both taking away DOUBLE GOLD awards!
For over 38 years, attending the Harvest Fair has been a tradition for both local and out of town guests. Wine and food lovers from as far abroad as South America, India and even Australia, plan their visit to Santa Rosa each October, to sample the county's bounty. This is our local celebration of the best Sonoma County has to offer in food, wine, and beer. To be awarded top honors in a field of amazing food producers is exciting for all of us at the creamery and farm.
Redwood Hill Farm "Rima" Best Doe In Show at Sonoma County Fair
Congratulations to our incredible Farm Team!
It was a wonderful Sonoma County Fair goat show for Redwood Hill Farm. We were honored to receive many awards, including the coveted Supreme Best Doe in Show award as SGCH Rima (pictured) won it against some amazing competition. Winning this award at our prestigious State and County Fair in the same year, is another great accomplishment in this Doe's storied career.
Recipe: Fruit and Spice Cake
This lovely cake was adapted from a favorite cookbook of mine, The Heritage of Southern Cooking by Camille Glenn. It is a family heirloom cake of hers and we think it will become a favorite with your family too! The original recipe calls for chopped, cooked, pitted prunes but the spices in it begs for trying pineapple or even cooked, chopped peaches as an alternative. The fruit may vary in the amount of moisture it gives to the batter, so if the batter looks a little loose after adding the fruit of your choice, add a tablespoon or so of flour.
I am showing the cake here with a delicious goat cheese Cream Cheese Frosting which is a perfect complement. This recipe, along with the original recipes suggested frosting, Caramel Kefir, are both in our dessert section. Remember: Redwood Hill Farm plain goat milk kefir is a perfect substitute for buttermilk in any recipe! The original recipe states that this cake is delicious served without frosting if desired.
Autumn on The Farm and Jennifer's Brandied Pumpkin Pie Recipe
Thanksgiving is upon us…
and right on cue are blustery days, intense fall colors, and a sprinkling of rain showers to green up the fields on the farm. Recently on an extraordinarily fine day, I spent the afternoon with Jennifer and we made pie. Jennifer and I share a passion for cooking, along with Scott, David, Shelley and a few other siblings! As a large family growing up together on Redwood Hill Farm, cooking with fresh goat milk and seasonal produce from the garden each year became a natural part of our life. Now, some 45 years later, we all have favorite recipes when it comes to gathering for holiday meals and this pie is very special.
Recipe: Use Chèvre Goat Cheese for Classic Cream Cheese Frosting
Cream Cheese Frosting is a classic for spice or carrot cakes. An alternative we love is substituting Redwood Hill Farm Plain Chèvre goat cheese for the cream cheese.
Chèvre is a fresh, light-textured, rindless goat cheese that is similar to cream cheese but softer and fluffier with only 1/3 of the fat and calories and it's delicious in recipes like this one! Try this recipe with award-winning Redwood Hill Farm Plain Chèvre the next time you'd like a delicious and unique frosting for your special cake.
Recipe: Caramel Frosting with Goat Milk Kefir
This very pale caramel frosting is a bit sticky, but it has an exquisite flavor! Of course we prefer it made with Redwood Hill Farm Goat Milk Kefir but you can substitute buttermilk as well. Delicious on Fruit and Spice Cake.
Recipe: LOVE At First Bite—Sweet Recipes with Goat Products for Valentine's Day
Who brought in those luscious brownies to work today? I can smell them from my desk, All chocolatey, chewy goodness! And chocolate, coupled with February means that Valentines Day is near. Naturally, sweet treats come to mind. But very special doesn't have to be about sweet. Luscious, savory goat cheese just as is or in a simple recipe that showcases it's unique flavor, aromas, and texture, can be a very special offering for your favorite someone.
Our vanilla goat milk yogurt is a wonderful ingredient in the Valentines Day cake here, and can be used in nearly any recipe calling for milk, buttermilk, or sour cream. Yogurt or kefir will lend a delicious, tender crumb to your baked goods and delicious, mild tang to cream pies and puddings. And possibly best of all? You will be able to enjoy a sweet treat with your loved ones that is truly of the "heart": heart healthy!

Unable to load Sol System
My game will not load into the Sol System after defeating the Borg Cube and Sphere. I have logged out and in many times, ya know, just in case. I even let it sit for 30 minutes.
Everything else seems to be be working fine. And it's a great game so far! I can't wait to exit the tutorial. lol
yea the same thing happened to me yesterday and even now i still cant get there ive waited for over 2 hrs still nothing
set video options to minimum... and try again...
I can't set options outside the game and if I click PLAY, I am on the loading screen in warp. I never get into the sol system.
Stuck in warp
Same here, defeated borg cube, warped back to sol system but got stuck in warp. Upper left says Sol System, the little trivia sentences change on the bottom, stars keep zooming past like in warp but I never get anywhere. No in game interface available, have to click off game to exit
I've got the same problem. I've tried everything that I can think off and with this many people saying something I'm just left hoping that they do something to fix it soon.
Same Here!
I've restarted the game and even the computer it doesn't change a thing. The game seems to have a problem starting up the new area. It looks like it loads to 100% or close to it. I have to Ctrl Alt Delete the application to exit.... Please fix soon!
Changing the graphics settings has no effect on the problem. I tried it on two different characters and it still doesn't load into Sol. Give it a shot at least, it just might not be the fix for me. Thanks for the tip either way though.
Same problem. Changing settings didn't help here either.
My first character got stuck on the first time you warp to Sol. After an hour of exiting and re-logging not helping, I rolled a second character and this time got into Sol. Once. After I'd left to Sector Space to do the Azura and patrol missions, I decided to return to sell loot and now that character is also stuck at the Sol loading screen.
Rather frustrating. This was not an issue in CB.

Burials at the former Pentridge Prison, Coburg, March 2009 © Heritage Victoria
In January 2013, Ned Kelly's remains were finally laid to rest beside his mother, 133 years after his death. It has taken a decade of archaeological, historical and forensic sleuthing to uncover the convoluted story of Kelly's remains, and those of Victoria's other executed prisoners.
In 1929, the burials of approximately 40 individuals (including Ned Kelly) were exhumed from the Old Melbourne Gaol, and re-buried in mass graves at Pentridge. Unfortunately, the exhumation work was carried out in chaotic fashion and the location of the reburials at Pentridge was poorly recorded. Jeremy's presentation explains how Heritage Victoria and the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine managed to solve the historical puzzle.
Jeremy Smith graduated from the University of Melbourne with a Masters degree in Archaeology in 1995. He worked for four seasons on the University's expedition to the Iron Age site of Tell Ahmar, in northern Syria. He was appointed Senior Archaeologist at Heritage Victoria in 2002.
In recent years he has become something of an expert on the archaeology of the Kelly Gang, having worked on projects at the Old Melbourne Gaol, Pentridge Prison, Glenrowan and Stringybark Creek.

Economy Passengers are Tired of Measly Meal Trays
Last week some great news for Economy passengers arrived from Down Under, as Qantas' introduced new meals for those flying in the back of the plane.
The Red Roo's overhauled menu includes more choices for in-flight grub via their Select on Q pre-order system, now with 50% larger meals and even special treats like ice cream snacks and a welcome drink. Meals not only do away with trays and feature more destination-based items (like BBQ beef sliders to North America and and full English breakfast to the UK), but they'll even surprise with items like a bread roll already infused with butter to eliminate buttery finger fumbling.

Lufthansa, American Airlines, and Finnair Flaunt New Routes for 2015
Sometimes it's hard to stay on top of all the new route announcements that come our way, so we've complied a little bit of a rundown below. As long as you can afford the fares, this should definitely help add to your passport stamp collection.
· Lufthansa:
Good news for those trying to get to—or from—the Sunshine State, as Lufthansa is getting ready to make Tampa one of its newest nonstop destinations. The flights are scheduled to begin on September 25 of next year, so you have quite some time to get the funds in place. Things will begin by heading back and forth four times each and every week, but then things will bump up to five times per week when the weather gets warmer. It'll be Airbus A340s doing the flying, but just note one thing—this will be one of the first flights operated by the carrier's new low cost carrier arm.
· Finnair:
Want to go to Finland? Finnair can take your there from all kinds of different destinations, but beginning next year Chicago becomes a new option. The plan is to start the flights beginning in June of next year, as it'll be a seasonal affair between Chicago-O'Hare and Helsinki. Airbus A330s will do the back and forth thing, and it sounds like the flights will operate thrice weekly. Just be sure not to miss your flight, as things will end for the year on October 17.

Airbnb in a Plane! KLM Opens Contest for Airplane Sleepovers at Amsterdam Airport
If you only do one thing today, let it be entering KLM's ingenious contest to travel to Amsterdam and have a sleepover inside their recently retired MD-11 airplane.
From now through November 20, KLM is asking all fans of the three-holer aircraft to book it for an overnight stay, as they've cleared out all the typical airplane seats in favor of cozy apartment-style furnishings.
The "Airplane Apartment" sports a master bedroom with king-size bed, a second bedroom with two beds, kitchen, living area, 8 bathrooms, WiFi, a cockpit, and 116 windows. There'll be one winner for each of the three nights, and each winner may bring up to three friends/family along for a total occupancy of 4 people in the Airplane Apartment. But wait, there's more! Winners will also receive international roundtrip flights on KLM to reach Amsterdam, and a 500 EUR Airbnb gift card.

Travel Contest Alert: Win Tickets on a KLM Final Flight
When we talk about exciting, historical flights we typically talk about inaugurals. First flights are celebrated for a reason; they are a promise of travel to come and often a demonstration of the growth of a community or the prowess of new technology. Why, then, shouldn't we also celebrate the end of a service, after an airplane has delivered on its promise?
KLM agrees, and they're now holding a contest for one lucky AvGeek to join the final flight of their MD-11 on November 11.
KLM has been flying the three-holers since 1993, and will retire them from the fleet next month.

KLM's Newest Employee is the Cutest Airport Helper Ever
Do you like doggies?
What about traveling to Europe?
And you appreciate having lost items returned to you, right?
If you've answered a hearty "yes" to the questions above, then the video below was meant for you. It highlights the newest customer service innovation at KLM: an adorable dog named Sherlock with the ability to sniff out items forgotten on planes to reunite them with their rightful owners within the confines of Amsterdam-Schiphol Airport.
That's pretty much all there is to it, since the magic is really in the beautiful film. Enjoy, but do so knowing that was a one-time thing, and Sherlock isn't going to be a permanent member of KLM's team. For your real lost & found queries, there's always KLM's 130 social media agents ready to help.

'Humans of New York' Takes on the Airport
Humans of New York, the photography project with nearly 10 million Facebook fans, 1.6 million Instagram followers, and a bestselling book, went international this season. The man behind HONY, Brandon Stanton, headed out with UNICEF on a 50-day trip through 10 countries, designed to apply his style to a broader (and certainly more war-torn) base.
HONY also has another current international connection, as KLM has been inspired enough to adapt the Humans of New York style in the creation of their "Citizens of the Airport" (COTA) series. Through portraits and small interviews, the airline gets up close with individual travelers at Amsterdam-Schiphol Airport to learn a little of their life around each particular journey.

Happy Birthday, Aviation: Many Airlines Celebrating Major Anniversaries in 2014
Ever heard of the St. Petersburg-Tampa Airboat Line? We're guessing probably not, but the Smithsonian sure has; the seaplane carrier is classified as the world's first airline, which inaugurated commercial air service in 1914 when it took off with one paying passenger. It may have been a short journey (only 23 minutes!), but the Airboat Line's impact extends to today as commercial aviation has become a $2.2 trillion dollar industry, employing over 57 million people.
In 2014, the world celebrates 100 years of commercial air travel, but that's not all.
In this last century, airlines and airplanes have evolved into a fact of everyday life for travelers, and some of the pioneering companies will mark milestones this year. Here's who to wish "happy anniversary":

Inside the Amenity Kit: KLM's Designer Collab for World Business Class
We come across some downright awesome airline amenity kits in our travels, and the surprises of each zippered pouch can often make or break comfort on a premium flight. With this in mind, here's to our new series: Inside the Amenity Kit, wherein we unzip, unwrap, and expose the loot inside:
In keeping with their commitment to promoting Dutch design, KLM partnered with fashion designer duo Viktor & Rolf in the creation of amenity kits. Each contains the basics for enhanced in-flight comfort, but they differ for male or female in zip pouch color. The strap which wraps around the kit then clips on the side to transform the bag from an amenity kit to reusable wristlet. The designs change each year, so you're looking at the 2014 pouches in these photos.
Passengers traveling on intercontinental flights in World Business Class will be given these bags at the start of the flight, and they won't be the only little presents along the way. Don't forget the end-of-flight goodbye gift of KLM's signature mini Delft houses filled with genever.

KLM's 130 Social Media Agents Will Now Happily Book That Flight for You
We've said it before and we'll say it again now: KLM consistently kills it on Facebook. Even beyond Facebook, the airline does stupendously across the board with social media, and it's no wonder considering they employ 130 social media "agents" to answer the approximately 35,000 interactions on Facebook and Twitter every week.
With so much online action, KLM is now set to up their game by accepting payments via Facebook and Twitter, for everything from flight bookings and seat reservations to flight changes and extra baggage.

How Five Airlines are Sharing Special Extras to Celebrate Christmas
Flying during the holiday season is frustrating at best, and you can better believe that the airlines and airports know travelers aren't exactly happy to be paying top dollar for packed flights, likely during winter weather. Thus, airlines attempt to create smiles for the season by introducing little festive touches to their inflight service.
The littlest things can go a long way to get passengers in a positive mood. Here is the list of those airlines going the extra mile, getting into the spirit, and giving back to their passengers with something special:

A First Look at KLM's New World Business Class, Taking Off on 747s
The Dutch are good at many thingsmaking cheese and growing tulips would be traditional examples, but a much more modern one is their ability to provide a good lay.
Wait a second. We're not talking about Amsterdam's infamous red light district; shift focus across the city to Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport and the KLM aircraft buzzing around it, where passengers are now enjoying a good lay…all the way back in lie-flat seats. It's here you'll find the current palette for Dutch talent, in the features and service of KLM's brand new World Business Class.
Where once buying a Business Class ticket on KLM meant reclining just enough for a comfortable nap, it's now all about the lie-flat bed and a proper snooze. In fact, some 70% of business class used to be awake for the full, hot breakfast before arrival; the new seats mean more sleeping in, however, and the uptake on breakfast is down to 20%. We're living proof of this; we drooled in deep sleep and awoke to the farmland of Holland, with only enough time before landing to scarf down a cinnamon roll.

New Routes News from JetBlue, KLM, and Scoot This Week
Sometimes it's hard to stay on top of all the new route announcements that come our way, so we've complied a little bit of a rundown below. As long as you can afford the fares, this should definitely help add to your passport stamp collection.
Good news for those flying from—or through—Amsterdam, as KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is getting ready to send some of their beautiful blue planes to some new destinations. If you want to get technical it's KLM Cityhopper doing the flying fun with Embraer 190s, as they're connecting Amsterdam with nonstop service over to Florence. Things started up earlier this week, and the flights will run twice daily on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays—Tuesdays and Thursdays just have one flight per day. We don't know about you, but we certainly can't complain about a few days in Amsterdam followed by a few days in Florence.
· Austrian Airlines:
Lots of moving and shaking from the planes and people over at Austrian Airlines, as the carrier is getting ready to start boosting some of their international options. Beginning on July 2 of next year, they're doing the nonstop thing between Newark and Vienna with a little help from some Boeing 767s. These flights will run five times per week, and they're not done here. Austrian Airlines is also adding bigger planes—Boeing 777s—to their flights out of Washington Dulles, and they're adding more back and forth frequencies out of Chicago-O'Hare.
