Tia Presley scores 32 — again — as WSU women win
Tia Presley scored 32 points for the second consecutive game, leading Washington State to an 80-77 Pac-12 victory over Colorado
The Associated Press
BOULDER, Colo. – Tia Presley scored 32 points for the second consecutive game, leading Washington State to an 80-77 victory over Colorado on Sunday.
Junior guard Presley, a former standout at Gonzaga Prep in Spokane, is the second player in program history to score at least 30 points in consecutive games. Jenni Ruff did it twice during the 1995-96 season.
Presley has 504 points this season. The only WSU players with more in a season are Ruff (685 in 1995-96) and Jeanne Eggart (633 in 1980-81).
Presley made 11 of 22 shots from the field and 7 of 7 free throws.
Sage Romberg added 14 points and 12 rebounds for the Cougars (14-12 overall, 8-6 Pac-12), who beat Utah 83-73 Friday.
Lia Galdeira, who scored 10 points, made important plays down the stretch for WSU. She made two free throws with 2:01 left to tie the score at 75, fed Presley for a layup with 1:27 to go and added two free throws for a 79-75 WSU lead with 12 seconds remaining.
The Cougars had a 43-40 rebounding advantage, including 24-18 in the second half.
"I thought we competed very hard tonight," WSU coach June Daugherty said. "The key was rebounding. We challenged them at halftime to work harder on the offensive boards and we responded."
Jen Reese and reserve Jamee Swan scored 19 points each for the Buffaloes (14-11, 4-10).

More Companies Ban Angora: Is Your Favorite on the List?
Check out PETA's complete list of companies that have banned angora
One look is all it takes. As soon as clothing companies see for themselves the video from PETA Asia's investigation of angora farms in China, which shows workers as they violently rip the fur out of rabbits' bodies while the animals scream and struggle to escape, most retailers want no part of it.
That's why Anthropologie, Perry Ellis, Zappos, PacSun, Stage Stores, rue21, and Ann Inc., which owns Ann Taylor and Loft, have all agreed never to sell angora wool again.
They join a long list of compassionate companies, including Calvin Klein, H&M, Tommy Hilfiger, Topshop, Mango, Express, Forever 21, Eddie Bauer, and Limited Brands, in banning angora from their clothing lines, saving countless rabbits the horror of having their fur ripped out—rabbits like this little gal, Ozone, who was rescued by a PETA member:
A gentle and affectionate girl, Ozone loves to snuggle up with her guardian in bed and will quickly come bounding when someone softly clucks for her. She relishes her daily brushing, proof of how sensitive her skin is under her coat. Ozone's guardian says it's quite simple to trim the rabbit's fur with scissors when she needs it. She can't imagine how anyone could look at such a sweet, docile animal and abuse her by yanking out her long, soft fur by the fistful.
If you can't fathom it either, please sign PETA's pledge to leave angora wool where it belongs: on rabbits' bodies.

"Anna Karenina": classic story smothered by style
Style over substance is a complaint often lodged against big-budget action movies and slick comic book adaptations. But toward Oscar bait based on famous literature? Not as common.
Yet, here we are with Joe Wright's "Anna Karenina," a retelling of Leo Tolstoy's classic novel, packed to the limit with elaborately lavish theatrics, dressing, camera movements and choreography. The trailers call these things "a bold new vision." I call it a bunch of pretty, meticulously crafted distractions.
As adapted by playwright and "Shakespeare in Love" scribe Tom Stoppard, "Anna Karenina" serves as a fairly trimmed-down telling of Tolstoy's epic tale of loves gained and lost. Keira Knightley (who previously worked with director Wright on his two other literary adaptations, "Pride & Prejudice" and "Atonement") plays the titular character, a Soviet aristocrat stuck in a dull, lifeless marriage with the respected Count Alexi Karenin, played by Jude Law.
Her wealthy-yet-inert life becomes a public debacle when she falls into an affair with the young and handsome Count Vronsky (Aaron Taylor-Johnson from "Kick-Ass"). What ensues is an internal battle between obligation and desire, public image and private desire, and the horrible, fickle forces of love.
At the same time comes a more optimistic tale of love between Levin and Kitty (Domhnall Gleeson and Alicia Vikander). It doesn't start well, as she turns down Levin's awkward marriage proposal with the assumption that the charming Vronsky will propose as well. He doesn't, Levin flees to the Russian countryside and Kitty becomes filled with hurt and then regret.
The unique innovation Stoppard and Wright bring to this particular telling of "Anna Karenina" is the staging. That being the literal staging, as Anna's epic battle with the forces of love takes place mostly in an elaborate old theater. A change in setting is often just a walk across the stage away, the backstage mess of ropes, ladders and lights are visible and chandeliers and other settings descend into the frame as though controlled by invisible crewmen while the cast freezes or slows in place. The stage even opens up to reveal a Soviet country winter, a train station or a crucial horse race.
It's an inventive and often captivating storytelling idea (no surprise coming from Wright, whose slick, composed visual sense also made last year's "Hanna" one of the year's best action films) that even fits with the intense melodramatic elements of Tolstoy's tale. So much of Anna's story feels like a theatrical tragedy; it only seems fair to make the audience feel like just another member of the Russian elite, watching her drama with rapt, judgmental attention.
Wright and Stoppard, however, don't stop at the setting. Most of the characters' movements are filled with elaborate choreography and flourishes, whether during a dance or merely entering a building. It adds to the notion of everyone's lives being carefully organized according to society's expectations, structure and blocking.
However, that's exactly what "Anna Karenina" feels like: blocking. Everything is so elaborately planned, frightfully aware and hyper stylized that the emotions and story can barely breathe. It's all very beautiful and visually impressive, but for a story about love and passion, the story feels limp, crushed by the weight of all of its lavish complexities. It also feels mighty rushed, though perhaps that's to be expected when trying to compress an almost-1,000-page novel into a two-hour film.
If any emotion is to be found in "Anna Karenina," it's in the performances. Knightley is compelling as always, a world of suppressed emotions and confusion simmering under her regal chill. She sparks considerable chemistry with Taylor-Johnson, who seems a bit too young but is sufficiently handsome and charming. Law is also very good as well, playing her cold, baffled husband, sympathetically trying to figure out what to do next.
As the younger, blooming romance, Gleeson and Vikander don't make much of an impression, partly because the film's speedy pace doesn't give them much time. However, a conversation involving some children's letter blocks serves as a highlight for the entire film, a rare case of intimate emotion trumping flashy spectacle. Matthew Macfadyen (last seen in Paul W.S. Anderson's regrettable "The Three Musketeers") steals a few scenes as well as Anna's cartoonish brother.
"Anna Karenina" has the cast and the content to be a great literary adaptation. Instead, style wins out. In the end, it resembles a cake covered in a foot of frosting and sprinkles. The cake may be delicious, but it's impossible to taste underneath all of its décor. It sure looks nice though.

J. Lo's "The Boy Next Door": Take a pass on these cookies
Published Jan. 26, 2015
As a gender-swapped sexy stalker thriller in the vein of "Fatal Attraction," "The Boy Next Door" is about as dead in the water as Michael Douglas' infamous pet bunny. However, as a tawdry slab of silly, giggle-inducing camp, "The Boy Next Door" scores more laughs than most intentional comedies. There's entertainment to be found here - cue the cookie-related innuendos - just never particularly of the variety the filmmakers were going for.
"Strange Magic" orders up plenty of strange but not too much magic
Published Jan. 24, 2015
It doesn't take long into George Lucas' bizarre new animated movie "Strange Magic" to ask "What the heck am I watching?" Not shortly after, that question turns into "Why the heck am I still watching this?" It's hard to rationalize a good answer for either.
"Blackhat" comes dangerously close to resembling a hack job
Published Jan. 22, 2015
After the Sony hack forced "The Interview" out of its prime Christmas release slot, "Blackhat" seemed to be perfectly primed to take its place. Alas, Universal kept the film in January. And maybe that was for the best, because even with its timely sounding synopsis, "Blackhat" plays like a relic, recalling less the anxiety of today's headlines and more the warmed-over memories of yesterday's forgettable action junk and silly techno-trash.

"Selma" powerfully presents MLK and the hard road to history
Published Jan. 20, 2015
"Selma" is much more accomplished than "timely" gives it credit - or that its award season release and Important Movie surface may imply. It may appear like yet another Great Man Oscar bait biopic. Instead, it plays exactly like what many of those films are desperately reaching to be: a deeply powerful and deftly nuanced movie, one that beautifully captures the man and his mission with clear eyes, leaving viewers with teary ones thoroughly earned.

Fashion Inflation: Why Are Prices Rising So Fast?
From shoes to handbags to ready-to-wear, the price of designer fashion has increased precipitously over the last decade. What's driving the rising prices? And how high can they go?
From shoes to handbags to ready-to-wear, the price of designer fashion has increased precipitously over the last decade. What's driving the rising prices? And how high can they go?
Market sentiment has turned back in favour of the luxury sector, driven by solid second quarter results, reports Pierre Mallevays of Savigny Partners.
PARIS, France — LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA, the world's largest luxury goods maker, said it increased its stake in Hermès International SCA to 23.1 percent from 22.6 percent in what it described as "an opportunistic move."
PARIS, France — Luxury scarves, bags and watches maker Hermès raised its full-year targets after beating quarterly forecasts on Thursday, with demand strong in most sectors even in the face of a slowing Chinese economy.
PARIS, France — Hermès International SCA, the French maker of Kelly bags, said sales growth this year may top 10 percent after reporting revenue that surpassed analysts' estimates in the second quarter.
PARIS, France — France's market regulator is fining luxury conglomerate LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton 8 million euros ($10.4 million) for not disclosing its intention to build up a significant stake in handbag and scarf maker Hermès. The AMF said Monday that LVMH was too slow in revealing its stake, which was built by using foreign subsidiaries. Large transactions are supposed to be disclosed quickly since they can affect share prices. LVMH raised its stake in Hermes to 14.2 percent in 2010, to the apparent dismay of the Hermès family. Hermès has accused the luxury giant of insider trading, claims the Paris prosecutor's office is investigating. LVMH, which since increased its stake to 22.3 percent, has called those charges unfounded…
PARIS, France — Concluding Paris Men's Fashion Week, our trusty contributing photographer Sonny Vandevelde brings us backstage imagery from the Dior Homme, Miharayasuhiro, Damir Doma, Hermès, AMI Alexandre Mattiussi and Lanvin shows.
PARIS, France — Menswear season in Paris brought the lofty catwalks back to the people, with a series of shows that twinned the glamor and energy of high fashion with genuine wearability.
Amidst a fast-growing global menswear market, luxury brands from Dolce & Gabbana to Jimmy Choo are launching men's only flagships with a host of leisure-inflected experiential elements.
Luxury brands should take a page from technology companies like Apple and adopt 'ecosystem models' to develop new markets, channels and products, advises a recent report by The Boston Consulting Group. BoF investigates.
With the support of L Real Estate, developer Craig Robins' vision for Miami's off-kilter luxury enclave is coming to life.
PARIS, France — French market regulator AMF said on Friday it was requesting to fine luxury group LVMH 10 million euros, the maximum sanction that can be proposed, in a probe into the build-up of LVMH's initial 17 percent stake in rival Hermès.
PARIS, France — Luxury goods group LVMH on Friday asked for the dismissal of a French market watchdog inquiry into the build-up of its first 17 percent stake in rival Hermès.

Watch who you call "Stupid," SuzieBear
I admit that the people of Jackass do in fact stupid things, but they're do it for our amusement. I'd watch who you call stupid though, SuzieBear. It seems you can't even spell "adolescent."
A little too late.
Hey guys, great movie and all, but its a little too late...They arent making any new episodes because the guys are sick of MTV censoring..You guys should have struck while the iron was hot....which means a few months sooner.
DK Project movies are always unpredictable, and this one is even more so. Just watch it.
pretty good
this 1 was (would have been) a pretty good episode. i was laughin right up to the point when the guy started sniffin worms up his nose, i guess i missed that episode or sumthin but that was retarded. more killing, less retarded bullshmit.

Awesome Delivery Speed!
I ordered this product on a Thursday (after hours) and selected the free shipping option. Since I live on the east coast I figured it would take a full week. I came home from work on that next Monday and it was waiting for me in my mailbox! It arrived in its original packaging, unopened and exactly like they showed it. I'm definitely going to order all of my electronic accessories through here from now on.
Exactly what I ordered
Very durable
Secure hold of the phone
Port covers keep dust, lint and debris out
Slightly bulky (doubles phones thickness)
Finger doesn't glide easily across screen protector

The Lazio region
The city of Rome is in the Lazio region.
In New York we have the sea, the mountains and hills
There are some beautiful small towns to visit.
The port of Civitavecchia, where you can catch all the big cruise ships is located about 80 km from Rome.
So who has to leave for a cruise can choose to be a tourist in Rome before or after boarding.
Rodolfo there may still be useful for any other information
La città di Roma si trova nella regione Lazio.
Nel Lazio abbiamo mare, monti e colline
Ci sono delle bellissime piccole città da visitare.
Il porto di Civitavecchia, da dove partono tutte le grandi Navi delle crociere si trova a circa 80 KM da Roma.
Quindi chi deve partire per una crociera può scegliere di fare il turista a Roma prima o dopo l'imbarco.
Rodolfo vi potrà comunque essere utile per qualsiasi altra informazione
Today, Trastevere still maintains its character thanks to the winding streets covered with cobblestones which is overlooked by medieval houses . The night is filled with people, both Italian and foreign, thanks to the wealth of restaurants and pubs for every price range .
It is one of the most lively , characteristic and self-sufficient city . It offers typical Roman restaurants ( the very famous collegiate Cencius The dirty word because of the mutual insults , Rugantino , the " Fratte of Trastevere " and Gigetto ) and pizzerias as well as cinemas , markets ( San Cosimato has been renovated just recently ) , banks, pharmacies , supermarkets, shops of every kind and elegant shops .
Walking in the heart of Rome , one is struck by the magic that runs through the streets and you are unable to fully comprehend the meaning of the "Eternal City " . Rome grows, it expands, it continues to maintain a heart and pride inherited from ' ancient Rome. A spirit that runs through all the Roman roads and entering into the feelings of the citizens, tying them forever to their city , their neighborhood .
Unlike many other places where tourist visits are greater than the available beds , and although many homes in the Roman roads of the district have become b & b or vacation home, the historic center of Rome continues to be of the Romans and their hospitality has allowed us to transform this city into one of the most beautiful modern cities to live and visit .
We'll go in Rome where every brick has a story to tell, in the Trans Tiberim ( nell'oltre Tiber ) , in the area that has started to live by the end of the Republican . A unique area that has collected inside several urbanization. Passing by Piazza Santa Maria in Piazza Sidney Sonnino , along Via Trastevere and passing Portaportese , until you get to Trastevere station , you can see a glimpse urbanisctico single , which mixes different styles in one container.

PopSugar's Spring Shirtless Wish List

PopSugar Picks: Our Top 10 Spring Shirtless Wish List
Spring is just around the corner, which means it's time to put those heavy Winter clothes away and start getting ready for warmer weather. Our Spring fever has gotten us thinking about all the hot Hollywood men we'd like to see in a few less layers. We're often treated to shirtless photos of some of our favorites like David Beckham and Matthew McConaughey, but check out our wish list of guys we'd like to see with their shirts off more often.

I'm not gonna lie, seeing Clooney shirtless in Italy was a pleasant surprise and wouldn't mind seeing it again.
5 years
I still prefer Beckham or McConaughey... :drool: T.I. is pretty sexy though, I think ;)

In a JTBC interview that filled my little heart to the brim, 손석희 manages to interview Alain de Botton in English about de Botton's new book on the subject of news, and cover several interesting topics (KAL/nut, Charlie Hebdo)
Apparently de Botton is one of the "favourite authors of Korea", but it's his comment on the KAL/nut incident (watch the clip to find out) that seems to be making him the No.1 search word in the news portal at the moment.
It's just a pity that people like Sohn does not run for politics.
P.S. DL Barch :
Doesn't de Botton comes across as a classic case of milquetoast you mentioned, telling other milquetoasts to be less of a milquetoast..
Here are the laws of ajossi-dynamics:
1. smart inv.proportional to aging/ajossification
2. opinionated prickfying proportional to aging/ajossification.
3. smart inv.proportional to opinionated prickfying independent of ajossification
I do think de Botton is suffering from a rash he developed from being subjected to the champagne-socialist-prominent-attitude of the British media when he pushes for media to have a stronger voice, because in places like Korea it's a different story. 손석희 and the JTBC is like a long overdue aberration. One must learn to crawl before one walks.

Popular Teas from Fairmont
See All 13 TeasRecent Tasting Notes
If I asked for simply "tea" at a moderately upscale restaurant or hotel, this is about what I would expect. Not pretentious, no particular flavor notes to comment on, just a straight up black tea which, to their credit, has a much smoother finish than more generic pekoes I've had. While I don't typically take my tea British style, something about this blend would make me feel at home tossing in a lump or two of raw sugar and a splash of cream. All the same, probably not worth seeking out if you or someone you know isn't already visiting a Fairmont resort.
Has a sweet but not overpowering maple sugar aroma and flavor. The tea itself is not as strong as the average black tea. It's a very soothing tea especially for colder weather, but not a pick-me-up.
Flavors: Autumn Leaf Pile, Malt
I had tea at the Empress a few years ago. I had forgotten that they sent us home with these neat tins full of tea, until I was rumagging around in my parents tea cupbord a while ago. I spirited this tin home with me, mostly for the neat tin, I must confess.
But I'v got three tea bags of this in the tin, which are now several years old, but I am determined to try them anyway.
Hmm. This brewed up very dark very fast. And the first sip gives me a bitter burst.
Second sip provides a little more roastyness, a hint of something greeny lurking in its depths.
This is strong! I'm not sure. I'm such a sweet tea drinker that this is almost overwhelming. These three tea bags will be an adventure in comfort zones, I can tell.
Oh geez, I still have the complementary box they gave me last year. And it's insanely expensive, for sure. Definitely not worth the price.
A nice touch from the Fairmont with their Empress Tea. It's a a black Orange Pekoe style tea. Nice touch making the tea bags with loose leaf in them. They serve two cups of tea, so a nice serving.
I oversteeped mine though I think. Was slightly astringent. Will try for less time next time, but a nice addition to my morning :)
This is an almost sipdown, I have like 1 cup left of this tea.
I don't now if I am going to buy it again yet. I have put it on my wishlist, but I want to try some new teas. Right now I am trying to drink through a lot of my current teas and get them down and then look at buying more tea. I have way too many right now and I want to explore more. I have my favourites of course, but I'm not sure if this is one of them.
A good solid black tea though for anyone interested.
Not only has Steepster been gobbling up my likes on everyone's teas, but I have lost tea logs and on Friday my dashboard was stalled.
Had this one on Saturday morning, needed a robust blend, a wake me up blend. I chose this. I'm thinking I need to stock up on some simple blends. I've been eying up Harney and Sons.
I didn't end up drinking my Day 14 tea yet, but will review both Day 14 and 15 when I do.
Edit: I found the information online finally, but I don't have an account that is old enough to "edit" teas. I have to wait 1 month apparently booo.
Here's the update on the tea: FALL HARVEST, India~ black tea Infused with Dried Cranberries and Cinnamon with just the right touch of spice.
Fall Harvest. I love fall – this makes me think of fall. I can't find any information on their website about the tea because it's a seasonal blend. So I took a picture and let everyone be the judge of that.
At first sniff: This is very breakfast-y smelling with hints of cinnamon in, but very subtle. You can smell the black tea for sure. You can also see the cranberry and cinnamon pieces.
At first steep: This is very strong. It's a bold blend, and excellent to take with milk and sugar (or substitute.) I had a hard time finishing my cup today because it's quite rich. The colour is a deep red brown, looks like it's almost coloured red, but it's not. With milk its a red toffee colour.
It could probably do with less time being brewed and it is very dry to the palette. It's not my favourite, but it's definitely a good contender for a breakfast tea.
Side note: I know that the Metropolitan Tea Company does a lot of the tea blending for the Fairmont. There are a couple that you can buy on their website and then there are some that are exclusive to the Fairmont. There isn't much information online about this, it's mentioned briefly here and there when you google it. I really like their teas, they are affordable and I find them to be nice and natural.
The more I drink this tea, the more I like it. It's robust, it's a marriage of Earl Grey and Breakfast teas, to make a stronger, bolder Earl Grey. The bergamont, however does not overpower.
I've been in a simple kind of mood for teas these days. I'm surprising myself that I reclining back to simple flavours. I think I am attributing this to wanting comfort and consistency. Tea can sometimes be inconsistent and downright disappointing, depending on what you're trying. And with the holidays near, comfort is of essence. I am two days behind on the advent calendar, but I am feeling somewhat uninspired by it.
Bumped up the rating on this one, as I think it deserves it.
The name sounds very fancy. The tin looks very pretty (festive even.)
Dry: There is a smell of Bergamont that fills your nose, but the notes are more subdued compared to your regular Earl Grey. The tea has mixtures of Sri Lankan, Chinese and Indian teas and you can see it very clearly when you take a peek at it. When I take a deep sniff, the Bergamont disappears and I smell what reminds me of Tetley Orange Pekoe, an earthy smell.
Steeped: I smell the earthy qualities first and the Bergamont tickles the tips your nose, rounding off the note. The tea brew up a deep copper red, reminding me of a good English Breakfast tea. It takes milk very well and becomes a handsome toffee coloured tea. As I've been reading more and more on here, I'm wondering if I am steeping my teas too long, as I do get a dry smacking feeling on my tongue, much like when I drink a red wine and don't finish it (I haven't developed much of a palette for reds yet.) I'm realizing this might be the astringency that everyone is speaking of. It definitely has a malty quality to it and I would definitely agree it's a "moody" tea.
I picked it today because, like yesterday I wanted a more simple tea, less "flavours" and more complexity in the leaves. I know the Fairmont probably gets ignored for its teas, as people tend to think of them when they think of High Tea, but they do have some nice blends and they are quite affordable. Either way, I have 5 of their teas, with this one being given to me as a gift from a friend because they didn't enjoy black teas.
I'd say it's a solid contender for a morning tea, the only reason I didn't rate it higher is because the after note on it is a bit strong and dry. I will try brewing for less time next time. However, it was frosty and fresh this morning and it was exactly what I wanted. A bold tea that stood out and woke me up. So Good morning :)
Ok so I brought home a couple of tea bags from my conference :) i didn't drink any decaf black teas while I was there. I wanted to make sure I had caffeine in my tea. Anyways this is a nice medium strength tea. It doesn't say specifically how it is decaffeinated but I am guessing it is done via the CO2 method as opposed to the chemical method but I don't know for sure.
I unfortunately added milk and honey to this cup before I tried the tea so I can't say for sure but I think I could drink this straight or with just a bit of milk. I will have to try that with my other tea bag!
Ok last tea that I tried this weekend at the Empress hotel in Victoria BC that I am going to write about. I tried this during one of my breaks and found the bergamot was quite strong but the base not as strong as I would have liked compared to the scent of the bergamot. Still can't complain not a bad tea; variations could be due to brewing conditions. I was lucky enough to have quite a selection of fairmont teas to choose from throughout our conference!
This was a nice strong Assam blend…perfect with a bit of milk in my travel mug to take to my lectures this weekend at the Empress. This was a stronger black tea than the Empress Orange Pekoe. Unfortunately I don't have enough experience telling apart the different types of black teas to describe these teas properly.
Late in posting this. I actually dug this out during the Olympics when I saw this clip and ended up drinking quite a bit. They attend the tea about halfway through the clip.
Wish that I could say I was lucky enough to go to one of their afternoon teas but… it was a gift for babysitting while relatives combined business with pleasure. It is a very refreshing tea with a little citrus aftertaste – like a mild Earl Grey.
Not a bad tea. I just came back from a convention in Victoria and although I could not afford high tea, they had this tea as a choice for us to brew ourselves during our breaks. The tea bags were labelled Empress orange Pekoe and a salesperson at the fairmont tea store in the Empress told me this was the famous tea served at high tea. Nice basic ceylon type tea…not as strong as I would have liked considering I was sitting in lectures for most of the day.
well bodied cup that I think I enjoy best as a daily drink. Affordable 100g bags are consumed quickly and the ceylon heavy blend is good plain or with cream/milk/sugar. A good base for chai blends or for a standard cup I think this provides a good "English" tea flavor. Not tolerant of over steeping keep the brew time under 4.5 minutes and brewable twice.
This tea is blended by Metropolitan tea company out of Toronto and has a few names Empress, 1908 blend, it is their standard blend available in the shop.

I'n new to your blog but catching up. I'm really sorry that you lost your sweet son. There are no words really, just 'sorry'.
Hoping you find some healing. I prayed for you.
xoxoLindsaYI came across your blog from another blogger,I jsut wanted to say... I know how you are feeling.I lost my first son at 19 weeks gestation,he was born and lived for 6 hours.I know what you mean about not wanting anyone to forget your child, I still struggle with that today. Just know there are many of us out there, who know how you are feeling. It brings comfort to know that there are others for me to connect with. I'm so sorry you lost your beautiful son Johnny. Your in my prayers!

Lynda..I felt every word on your blog..I remember feeling the same emotions after Kristopher was lost tous..My heart is with you and your family..It is still so very new..Im living proof that you do get through..It is damn hard though..I remember feeling like we were losing our marriage as well..But we made it tho we have had so many rough patches..I hope I can be here if you ever need to talk..Its a long hard road..But you arent alone..xo Terralynn
ReplyDelete I just stumbled across your blog through the babyloss blog directory.
My daughter was born still December 27, 2006. 2.5 years through this journey, I can promise you that it does get easier. When our little girl died, I asked my husband when it would get better-- he responded to me that, "I don't think it will ever get better, but Deb, it has to get easier." He was so right.
Your heart will always be broken- nothing will ever be the same, but you will learn how to get through it. How to handle the emotions that you do feel and will feel.
I am sorry you know what this feels like too, but maybe you can take a little bit of comfort knowing there are so many of us out here that would take some of your grief if we could, and walk this road with you. xxxxooooHe will never give you more than you can handle... in HIS strength, not in yours. Trust in, cling to, rely on, believe in Him, and He will faithfully help you. Promise.
Please do not live in guilt. You could not have known, or done differently because you did not know what would happen. Guilt will eat you alive...
And, you will always remember, always have a little ache, but... the powerful pain that threatens to suffocate-- that dulls just a little bit with passing time.- AnonymousJune 15, 2010 at 5:27 PM
dear lynda,
I am currently working for the department of agriculture where I study citrus trees. Today while I was out I was looking in a tree and saw a balloon with a note attached. I removed the note and placed in my pocket and thought nothing more of it until after work. I wondered if it had been sent by a child as I had so often done. I always wondered where those notes went. I have the note, and if you would like to contact me to get it back to put in baby johnny's book let me know. firstname.lastname@example.com
My thoughts and prayers are with you. May God bless you.

Junior Samantha Baker scored in the 89th minute to lift Georgetown to a 1-0 win over Minnesota. |
Nov. 20, 2010
Complete Boxscore in PDF Format
WASHINGTON - The winning ways continue for the Georgetown University women's soccer team. Rather than play two overtimes and go to penalty, this time the Hoyas took care of things in regulation. But they didn't save much time, as junior forward Samantha Baker (Long Beach, Calif./Wilson) scored off a corner kick with 44 seconds left in regulation, lifting Georgetown to a 1-0 win over Minnesota in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday at Elizabeth Lynn Robbie Stadium.
The Hoyas, who improved to 15-6-2 overall, advance to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament, where the team will face Ohio State, 3-2 winners over Virginia. Georgetown, one step away from the Final Four in its second-ever NCAA Tournament, will play the Buckeyes on Friday, Nov. 26 at 5 p.m.
"I'm thrilled for the kids," Head Coach Dave Nolan said. "They work hard and as the season has gone on, we've gotten better and better. The schedule we put together this year has really helped because I think they can see that they can play anyone in the country. There a confidence about them now that has really carried us."
As has been the case all season, the Hoyas were dangerous on set pieces. A foul on Minnesota in the 89th minute gave the Hoyas a throw-in and the Gophers had trouble clearing it, leading to the corner kick.
Baker's corner from the right flag sailed up and bounced off Minnesota goalkeeper Cat Parkhill at 89:16, giving the Hoyas a 1-0 lead with 44 seconds left that they would not relinquish.
"I stepped up and I knew I had to get in on top of her," Baker said over the phone. "Dave had just said to test the keeper. I saw that there was a minute and I took a few seconds to make sure I wasn't rushing anything. I knew we had the time, I just had to get the delivery right."
It's not the first time that Baker has gotten the delivery right, as the goal to send Georgetown to the Elite Eight was the third one this season she has scored directly off a corner kick.
The other two goals - first at James Madison and then against Fairfield - were also game-winners.
"That's Samantha," Nolan said. "It's either feast or famine with her sometimes. She has an ability to make big plays in big moments and she made a big one for us today."
The game appeared to be headed to overtime after an evenly played match throughout. Minnesota out-shot Georgetown overall, 11-10, with the Hoyas owning a 6-4 advantage in the first half and the Gophers a 7-4 edge in the final 45 minutes.
Senior goalkeeper Jackie DesJardin (Sunnyvale, Calif./Archbishop Mitty), who made two saves in penalty kicks to deliver the Hoyas a win over Maryland in penalty kicks, came up big again, with five saves.
"It's a huge win," Nolan said. "We're kind of like this little team. We're not a perennial NCAA team yet. In 2007, we were just happy to get in and the last couple of years were kind of tough and we just didn't have much luck. This group has been pretty determined from the start. I knew we had the talent, it was a matter of putting it together and staying healthy. We lost two key players to injury (senior Caitlin Durkee and sophomore Catherine Cabot), but we've had other kids step up to the plate. Christina O'Tousa and Kailey Blain stand out as kids who have really just stepped up and helped us out."
The Hoyas will advance to play Ohio State, the Big Ten regular season champions.
"They went down to the University of Virginia and won at the University of Virginia, that speaks volumes," Nolan said. "You're playing against a top team. It's just one of those challenges, but we're not going to go just to make up the numbers. We don't plan to just show up."
The victory was the 15th this season for the Hoyas, setting an all-time school record for wins in a season and giving Nolan his 80th career win on the Hilltop.
"This is a huge win and it's dedicated to the kids who have been through this program, kids who fought hard to get respect," Nolan said. "And I know judging from all the notes I've gotten, there's not a prouder bunch of alums than our group now."

How to wire Ethernet Cables Page 1 of 7 How to wire your own ethernet cables and connectors. What You Need: Required: • Cable - bulk Category (Cat) 5, 5e, 6 or higher cable • Wire Cutters - to cut and strip the cable if necessary For Patch Cables: • RJ45 Plugs • RJ45 Crimper For Fixed Wiring: • RJ45 Jacks • 110 Punch Down Tool Recommended: • Wire Stripper • Cable Tester About the Cable: You can find bulk supplies of the cable at many computer stores or most electrical or home centers. You want UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable of at least Category 5. Cat 5 is required for basic 10/100 functionality, you will want Cat 5e for gigabit (1000BaseT) operation and Cat 6 or higher gives you a measure of future proofing. Bulk cable comes in many types, there are 2 basic categories, solid and braided cable. Braided cable tends to work better in patch applications for desktop use. It is more flexible and resilient than solid cable and easier to work with, but really meant for shorter lengths. Solid cable is meant for longer runs in a fixed position. Plenum rated cable must be used whenever the cable travels through an air circulation space. For example, above a false ceiling or below a raised floor. It may be difficult or impossible to tell from the package what type of cable it is, so peal out an end and investigate. Here is what the internals of the cable look like: Internal Cable Structure and Color Coding http://www.ertyu.org/steven_nikkel/ethernetcables.html 3/19/2010 How to wire Ethernet Cables Page 2 of 7 Inside the cable, there are 8 color coded wires. These wires are twisted into 4 pairs of wires, each pair has a common color theme. One wire in the pair being a solid or primarily solid colored wire and the other being a primarily white wire with a colored stripe (Sometimes cables won't have any color on the striped wire, the only way to tell which is which is to check which wire it is twisted around). Examples of the naming schemes used are: Orange (alternatively Orange/White) for the solid colored wire and White/Orange for the striped cable. The twists are extremely important. They are there to counteract noise and interference. It is important to wire according to a standard to get proper performance from the cable. The TIA/EIA-568-A specifies two wiring standards for an 8- position modular connector such as RJ45. The two wiring standards, T568A and T568B vary only in the arrangement of the colored pairs. Tom writes to say "...sources suggest using T568A cabling since T568B is the AT&T standard, but the US Government specifies T568A since it matches USOC cabling for pairs 1 & 2, which allows it to work for 1/2 line phones...". Your choice might be determined by the need to match existing wiring, jacks or personal preference, but you should maintain consistency. I've shown both below for straight through cabling and just T568B for cross over cabling. About RJ45 Plugs and Jacks: The RJ45 plug is an 8-position modular connector that looks like a large phone plug. There are a couple variations available. The primary variation you need to pay attention to is whether the connector is intended for braided or solid wire. For braided/stranded wires, the connector has sharp pointed contacts that actually pierce the wire. For solid wires, the connector has fingers which cut through the insulation and make contact with the wire by grasping it from both sides. The connector is the weak point in an ethernet cable, choosing the wrong one will often cause grief later. If you just walk into a computer store, it's nearly impossible to tell what type of plug it is. You may be able to determine what type it is by crimping one without a cable. RJ45 jacks come in a variety styles intended for several different mounting options. The choice is one of requirements and preference. RJ45 jacks are designed to work only with solid cable. Most jacks come labeled with color codes for either T568A, T568B or both. Make sure you end up with the correct one. Here is a diagram and pin out: RJ45 Plug and Jack Pin Out http://www.ertyu.org/steven_nikkel/ethernetcables.html 3/19/2010 How to wire Ethernet Cables Page 3 of 7 Ethernet Cable Pin Outs: There are two basic cable pin outs. A straight through cable, which is used to connect to a hub or switch, and a cross over cable used to operate in a peer-to-peer fashion without a hub/switch. Generally all fixed wiring should be run as straight through. Some ethernet interfaces can cross and un- cross a cable automatically as needed, a handy feature. Standard, Straight-Through Wiring (both ends are the same): 10Base-T Wire Wire RJ45 Signal 1000Base-T Color Diagram Pin # 100Base-TX Signal (T568A) (T568A) Signal 1 White/Green Transmit+ BI_DA+ 2 Green Transmit- BI_DA- 3 White/Orange Receive+ BI_DB+ 4 Blue Unused BI_DC+ 5 White/Blue Unused BI_DC- 6 Orange Receive- BI_DB- 7 White/Brown Unused BI_DD+ 8 Brown Unused BI_DD- Straight-Through Cable Pin Out for T568A 10Base-T Wire Wire RJ45 Signal 1000Base-T Color Diagram Pin # 100Base-TX Signal (T568B) (T568B) Signal 1 White/Orange Transmit+ BI_DA+ 2 Orange Transmit- BI_DA- 3 White/Green Receive+ BI_DB+ 4 Blue Unused BI_DC+ 5 White/Blue Unused BI_DC- 6 Green Receive- BI_DB- 7 White/Brown Unused BI_DD+ 8 Brown Unused BI_DD- Straight-Through Cable Pin Out for T568B http://www.ertyu.org/steven_nikkel/ethernetcables.html 3/19/2010 How to wire Ethernet Cables Page 4 of 7 Cross Over Cable (T568B): RJ45 RJ45 Pin # Wire Diagram Pin # Wire Diagram (END Color End #1 (END Color End #2 1) 2) 1 White/Orange 1 White/Green 2 Orange 2 Green 3 White/Green 3 White/Orange 4 Blue 4 White/Brown 5 White/Blue 5 Brown 6 Green 6 Orange 7 White/Brown 7 Blue 8 Brown 8 White/Blue Cross Over Cable Pin Outs +Note: The cross over cable layout is suitable for 1000Base-T operation, all 4 pairs are crossed. How to wire Ethernet Patch Cables: 1. Strip off about 2 inches of the cable sheath. 2. Untwist the pairs - don't untwist them beyond what you have exposed, the more untwisted cable you have the worse the problems you can run into. 3. Align the colored wires according to the diagrams above. 4. Trim all the wires to the same length, about 1/2" to 3/4" left exposed from the sheath. 5. Insert the wires into the RJ45 plug - make sure each wire is fully inserted to the front of the RJ45 plug and in the correct order. The sheath of the cable should extend into the RJ45 plug by about 1/2" and will be held in place by the crimp. 6. Crimp the RJ45 plug with the crimper tool. 7. Verify the wires ended up the right order and that the wires extend to the front of the RJ45 plug and make good contact with the metal contacts in the RJ45 plug 8. Cut the cable to length - make sure it is more than long enough for your needs. 9. Repeat the above steps for the second RJ45 plug. How to wire fixed Ethernet Cables: 1. Run the full length of cable in place, from endpoint to endpoint, making sure to leave excess. http://www.ertyu.org/steven_nikkel/ethernetcables.html 3/19/2010 How to wire Ethernet Cables Page 5 of 7 2. At one end, cut the wire to length leaving enough length to work, but not too much excess. 3. Strip off about 2 inches of the cable sheath. 4. Align each of the colored wires according to the layout of the jack. 5. Use the punch down tool to insert each wire into the jack. 6. Repeat the above steps for the second RJ45 jack. If a cable tester is available, use it to verify the proper connectivity of the cable. That should be it, if your cable doesn't turn out, look closely at each end and see if you can find the problem. Often a wire ended up in the wrong place or one of the wires is making no contact or poor contact. Also double check the color coding to verify it is correct. If you see a mistake or problem, cut the end off and start again. A cable tester is invaluable at identifying and highlighting these issues. When sizing cables remember that an end to end connection should not extend more than 100m (~328ft). Try to minimize the cable length, the longer the cable becomes, the more it may affect performance. This is usually noticeable as a gradual decrease in speed and increase in latency. Notes: Power over Ethernet (PoE): Power over Ethernet has been implemented in many variations before IEEE standardized 802.3af. 802.3af specifies the ability to supply an endpoint with 48V DC at up 350mA or 16.8W. The endpoint must be capable of receiving power on either the data pairs [Mode A] (often called phantom power) or the unused pairs [Mode B] in 100Base-TX. PoE can be used with any ethernet configuration, including 10Base-T, 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T. Power is only supplied when a valid PoE endpoint is detected by using a low voltage probe to look for the PoE signature on the endpoint. PoE power is typically supplied in one of two ways, either the host ethernet switch provides the power, or a "midspan" device is plugged in between the switch and endpoints and supplies the power. No special cabling is required.
