Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I'm a frequent flyer on Alaska Airlines. Living in the Northwest, Alaska is "my" airline and I have a great deal of loyalty, but it's a "talking airline." Stewardesses (yeah, yeah, I know, today they're called flight attendants; I'm revealing my age) drone on and on, turning safety advisories into endless speeches. It's worse on Horizon (Alaska's commuter partner) whose attendants fancy themselves comedians. Seeking an escape from this human cacophony I began using foam earplugs. However, I'd long been thinking about nice headphones to do double duty of noise cancellation and serve as earphones for movies and music on long-haul flights (those provided or sold by the airline are chintzy affairs that won't stay in my ears). Against this backdrop I started comparing different headphones. Candidly, I hoped the Boses' would be the winner because they look good. However, I checked out a number of headphones to satisfy the search. During that search the Bose QuietComfort 3 (QC3) was introduced. I was intoxicated by the smaller size, although I thought that the QuietComfort 2s, which cover the ear, might do a better job. I think they actually do a very slightly better job of keeping noise from leaking in under the cups but there's little difference in performance and I liked the compactness of the QC3. I decided to forge ahead with the QC3. I checked prices at several locations on-line, including Boses', and found that Bose doesn't discount. I purchased from a supplier on eBay, paying a total of $326.99 including shipping. The QC3 arrived in the sturdy Bose box. Included are the headphones, a nice black zipper carry case and all the accoutrements, including a cord for the standard .5 mm jack. There are also adaptor jacks for airplane seat inputs (the two-prong input ports on airplane seats are now quite rare but Bose supplies an AC charger which accommodates either the single or double port. You'll probably never use it). Instead, the main cord (the long one which you have to use because of the uniquely-shaped jack end which fits the port on the left cup) has the .5 mm jack on the other end. It's fit in every airplane system I've used in the past several years. The case has formed press-fit areas to hold each item, including the battery charger. That charger is a small black thing which fits in the hand . You snap the battery pack into the top, then flip out the standard 2-blade plug. Bose is smart not to use the 3-prong configuration because with two one can use the charger in many foreign countries whose outlets are double-blade only. The charger will work in a maximum 240 volts, making it further adaptable for use in many countries. The case provides great protection for the headphones and is reasonably compact; however, I don't use it. I just throw the headphones in my computer bag (I probably shouldn't but I do), along with w/battery pack, cord and AC charger. However, the case will fit easily into most carry-on/computer roller bags. Bose started shipping a shoulder strap for the case but I can't imagine anyone strapping on a Bose case across his or her shoulder. For me, the QC3 does everything it's advertised to do. I haven't tested how long the battery lasts but it held up throughout a flight from Reagan National Airport (DCA for you pilot types) to the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). I'm a happy Bose owner. The QC3s (I can't decide whether the term "headphones" is singular or plural) are comfortable and do a terrific job of keeping out unwanted ambient noise. They are light on the head and work well. I use 'em a lot, on airplane and almost daily in the gym. I find them particularly good at limiting the intrusively loud and garish music that gyms insist on piping out for everyone's displeasure. Customer Service. About a year into ownership the cups on one side separated from the frame. The cups have several snap points where they snap into the frame ears, and the fit and plastic materials felt flimsy. I kept "snapping" the cups back onto the frame but they ultimately broke, first on one side, then the other. I spent much of 2008 overseas and was unable to contact Bose. When I returned I contacted it by phone and reached the customer service center in Massachusetts. Although I'm think the offshore call centers do a good job it was nice to see some work kept domestically. I described my issue to the representative who some math and told me I was past the one-year warranty. However, he said Bose would still honor it and send me replacement headphones. I corrected him, stating that I had had the headphones for two years, not one, so I was well past the one -ear warranty. The guy cheerfully acknowledged that he hadn't listened closely and, because he promised to do so, STILL honored the warranty. The replacement QC3s arrived promptly; although they look the same as the originals they feel sturdier. I've now had them a year and they've held together perfectly. The carry case has been changed slightly and the accessories have small universal symbols stamped on them to show their intended uses, such, for example, an airplane. Even the cardboard box is smartly done and form-fits the headphones and accessories. Here's a case of a company delivering on its promise of quality for an expensive product, by (here) going well above and beyond its warranty obligations. Following my experience with the device, followed by superior warranty service, I remain a fan of the company. If you're on a budget you can buy cheaper headphones, which come reasonably close to the Bose in quality and performance (a great consumer organization which publishes a monthly magazine (initials CR) says as much). However, I'll stick with Bose for headphones. Follow-Up Note. Recently, I tried out the newly-introduced Bose 15. I would have to say that, in testing them for just a few minutes, their performance is slightly better than my QC3's. However, given the choice of the two I'd probably opt for my QC3 because the difference in performance doesn't justify the price differential.

Finally, Memorial Day weekend (the 3-day oasis that gets us through the first half of the year) is upon us! It's the start of vacation season and I'm already looking for my arm floaties and beach towel. And I'm sure most of you are doing the same thing.
I'm also sure many of your vacation destinations are somewhere between your couch and a beach that you can drive to on the weekend, as many workers are opting out of getaways this year.
Thirty-five percent of workers say they haven't gone on or aren't planning to take a vacation in 2009. And 71 percent of those indicate it is because they just can't afford it, according CareerBuilder's annual vacation survey. Plus, close to one-in-five workers indicate that they are either afraid of losing their jobs if they go on vacation or feel guilty being away from the office. The survey was conducted from February 20 through March 11, 2009 among more than 4,400 workers.
As if the guilt and fear weren't weighing on your mind already, 50 percent of employers expect employees to check in with the office while they are away, with 40 percent indicating it'll be necessary only if they are working on a big project or there is a major issue going on with the company. Close to three-in-ten (28 percent) workers say they plan to contact the office at least once, regardless of what they are working on, while they are on vacation.
"While the current economy may be causing workers anxiety about taking a vacation this year, a break from work is essential for maintaining healthy productivity levels in the office," said Rosemary Haefner, vice president of human resources at CareerBuilder. "Workers should plan ahead and make it a goal to use their vacation benefits; 15 percent reported that they didn't use all of their allotted time last year. Utilizing your time off is even more important now due to the added responsibilities and pressure that some workers may be faced with due to the current economic situation."
When planning a vacation, Haefner recommends the following tips to ensure your time off is a true break from the office:
- Start Preparing the Office Today – The minute you start thinking about booking a vacation, talk to your supervisor and see if the dates you want to be away are a good time for both of you.
- Leave a Plan Behind – A few weeks before you leave, start recording important information, key contacts and any deadlines that will come up while you are gone and give it to a coworker who can fill in for you while you are gone.
- Stick to a Schedule – While it's best to leave the office at the office, if you must do work, set limits and boundaries for yourself and your co-workers. Don't let activities on vacation be interrupted by work.
- Set a Good Example – If you are the boss, take a vacation and limit your contact with the office. Workers will feel much better getting away and enjoying themselves if they see the boss doing the same.

I got the mini vault for my birthday about a week ago and it's pretty nice. The hardest part was figuring out what code to put in it! It's a sturdy little thing and that spring loaded door pops open with a quickness. Perfect size for a closet shelf or for bedside. I'm very happy with mine.

Updated 03/28/2014
With punched-tin ceilings, mason-jar lighting fixtures, and eclectic decor inspired by Versailles' Petit Trianon, the focus at this vegeterian restaurant is on pleasing the senses. Much of the organic produce used in the regularly changing menu comes from the owners' farm and other local sources. The flavor combinations are anything but accidental. Start with a garlicky "hummus" of local pigeon peas. The signature Verde Mesa rice is a mixture of in-season vegetables and
chickpeas that the owners say has turned many a skeptic into further exploring the culinary potential of vegetables. You'll also find quite a few expertly prepared tuna, salmon and scallop dishes, if you don't want to go all veggie. Your salmon might be cured with lavender and ginger and your scallop dish migh be served on a bed of parsnip mash, dressed with fig foam. Reservations are not accepted so arrive early; restaurant opens at 6 pm.

California High-Speed Rail Authority officials are hosting several public meetings for the first high-speed rail system in the United States.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
The California high-speed rail will connect the mega-regions of the state, contribute to economic development and a cleaner environment, create jobs and preserve agricultural and protected lands.
"Starting Tuesday, Aug. 5 in Santa Clarita, the California High-Speed Rail Authority (officials) will be hosting seven public scoping meetings to gather public comments for a new proposed alignment," according to Adeline Yee, information officer for the California High-Speed Authority.
The California High-Speed Rail Authority is responsible for planning, designing, building and operation of the first high-speed rail system in the nation.
By 2029, the system will run from San Francisco to the Los Angeles basin in under three hours at speeds capable of over 200 miles per hour.
Related: High Speed Rail Project Questioned By Santa Clarita Officials
The system will eventually extend to Sacramento and San Diego, totaling 800 miles with up to 24 stations.
In addition, the Authority is working with regional partners to implement a statewide rail modernization plan that will invest billions of dollars in local and regional rail lines to meet the state's 21st century transportation needs.
Public scoping meetings are being held to provide the public an opportunity to learn about the project, ask questions and submit feedback.
All meetings will be held from 5:30 p.m. through 7:30 p.m.

the tube is so small, bought a pack of them at the airport duty free.
when u put the mask on its like putting a cream on. waited a good while with it and every time i use i see no difference. do not buy it as it is a complete waste of time and money! does not lighten the skin at all or do anything for it. i have used it several times in vain
This is really a good mask and I agree that 10mL is too much for one application. One tube was enough for 5 aplications!!!! You can close the twist tube with the opposite side of the cap.
I applied a thick layer to my face and it was suffient to hydrate and for a little whitening effect. The smell is also good.
Like other reviewer, I thought it would be hard to wash off, but it got rinsed clean easily withou leaving greasy residues (I have a really oily skin!)
This is not like a real exfoliating, but my pores are visibly minimized and my skin looks clean. I´ll buy it again!
Totally agree that 1 tube is too much; I think it yielded about 3 uses per tube for me. I didn't notice much a long-term whitening effect but the mask did make my skin feel really smooth and hydrated. I'll try to use another pack to see if I gain more long-term results.
10ml is not enough for me actually. This is not a good mask. The tube feels like you're putting on lotion, doesn't dry out or anything (I guess it sinks it). BHA can easily clog pores. Overall, see no differences!

This is a great mask. It's effective: brightens complextion, evens skin tone, and hydrates skin. It comes in a white lotion form with microbeads for exfoliation. It exfoliates well as a scrub, and the lotion sinks into skin after 15 minutes, and turns clear. It comes in a twist tube, yes 10mL is too much for one application, but since I have to use it in one time only (okay putting in bottle work, but for hygience I wouldn't do that), I treat every application as a little extra luxury treat to my skin. I apply a very thick layer to both my face and neck. Beware not to let the lotion get into your eyes, it does sting. I'll buy again whenever I see a big discount, the original price is too much for me to afford for one mask.
I don't believe my eyes! After three days of continuing usage, my complexion is so clear. I've re-ordered 3 more boxes. Try it! I bought it online, so it was quite cheap, about 15-20 bucks. It's worth it!
I really like this. I know this is going to be my HG sooooon! It comes in a tube which is very hygenic and clean. True to what most of the revies, the 10ml per tube is abit too much. But since it comes with a "now-you-twist-it-you-have-to-use-it", I applied thickly all over my face. I like the effect, it really whitens my skin, gives radiance to it immediately. The best part is that the microbeads are very effective, not too harsh to my skin and gives the deadcells gone. Will definitely re-purchase. I highly recommend this!
This mask really gives instant result: skin is noticeable brighter, more even toned and more hydrated. It's a white thin cream textured mask with light orange colored exfoliating grains. I thought it would be hard to wash off, but actually it got rinsed clean pretty easily unlike some other creamy masks, and leaves no greasy residue or whatever. I don't have sensitive skin but this feels stingy upon application. Also, I accidentally got this near my eyes (not in my eyes, just around), and something in the mask just sting my eyes very badly, eyes are full of tears and I can't open them. So be careful with area around the eyes. I'm not sure if I'll buy this again. I give it 4 lipsticks becuase it does work as it claims, the result is fast and noticeable. However, I personally don't like skincare products that show effect right away, they are meant for long term use, something too effective could be too harsh and harmful for the skin.
Well I seem to be the only one who doesn't like this product! The mask itself seems too strong, with a "burning" effect. My skin, though it felt smooth, also felt tight. No visible evening of skin and temporary whitening. I didn't like that oily feeling that followed a few hours later. I used this about 3-4 times. The packaking itself may be hygenic, but 1 tube yields too much (about 2-3 applications- I know someone who used it 5 times!!!!!). But since once you twist off the cap, you cannot cover the thing, you have to use it fast. Won't purchase again that's for sure!
Love this mask! It's certainly 1 of the best masks for a drugstore line. (for drugstore whitening lines) i've tried Za, L'oreal, Ginvera, Cortry, Neutrogena but only this mask gave me a radiant glow and it did lighten my complexion a little after doing an intensive 5-days treatment. Comes in small tubes of 10ml each so it's more convenient to bring along while travelling instead of huge jars/bottles.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
Our work is almost done. The last step in the compositing process is going to be to add something called motion blur. Motion blur is actually a visual artifact that occurs when the camera takes an image and an object moves through the frame while the shutter is open. It's actually a really desirable effect in a lot of cases and it adds realism, especially to 3D images. 3D images are generated without motion blur normally and it can be very time-consuming in a 3D render engine to add that motion blur back in.
So there's an excellent third-party plug-in called ReelSmart Motion Blur that allows us to add in this motion blur artifact without having to do it in the 3D render and so it makes it much easier to adjust the intensity of it and also to turn it off or on if we decide we don't like it. So we're going to do that in this step. So I'm inside of the render composition and I've got my Shake layer selected, and I'm going to go to the Effect menu and go to the RE:Vision Plug-ins and add ReelSmart Motion Blur.
There are several different versions here. We're just going to use the basic version. And when I add that, I'll scrub through to a point in the animation where, for example, camera shake is happening. Let's scrub to that point in time, which is right about here, and I'm going to turn the filter off and on so you can see the effect. You can see our image is very blurry. And if I turn it off and on, there is a lot of blur that's happening to the image. Let's zoom in. I'll zoom in so you can really see what's going on, just especially up here in the corners.
What it's doing is it actually analyzes the direction that pixels travel from frame to frame and it blurs them based on the blur amount value. And so we want to have this effect. And the default value for this is actually pretty good. There is an issue with ReelSmart Motion Blur that I know about from experience and it's caused when objects get too close to the camera in the actual frame. So I'm going to use the Comma key on the keyboard to back out. I'm going to go to the very beginning of the animation. You can see that there is going to be some weirdness that happens over time.
So what I want to do is to keyframe the intensity of the ReelSmart Motion Blur effect so that it starts off at 0 and goes up to 0.5, and I want that to happen to over about 10 frames. So let's go to the ReelSmart Motion Blur Amount and I'm going to go Page Down until I get to frame 10. There we go! 9, we started at frame 0, so that means 9 is the actual 10th frame of the animation. So I'm going to click the stopwatch here. So that's where I want my animation to go to.
Now if I hit the Home key, I'm back at the very first frame and I'm going to set the motion blur amount to be 0. So now what will happen is as I page down through the animation, the motion blur effect will come on slowly and we'll get a lot fewer of these weird blur artifacts that happen to swish the image around because the blur filter can't deal with all that intense motion so close to the frame. So I'm going to repeat that process at the end of the animation. So if we go all the way to the end-- and I can select this layer and hit O on the keyboard.
That takes me to the very last frame of that animation. You can see there is all that swishing that I was talking about. I'll zoom in on that so you can see it. That's a weird artifacting that occurs. We don't really want that to be visible on our video because that's going to make that transition really weird. So I'm going to back up 10 frames, Page Up for about 140. I'm going to set a keyframe for the motion blur amount. So if I select this layer and hit U on the keyboard and I'm going to add a keyframe for that, and now I'm going to hit O on the keyboard to get to the last frame of the actual layer, and I'll set the Blur Amount to be 0.
Now, if I page up and down through that, you'll see that the Blur Amount starts to dissipate over time. That makes our transition into the full screen video much more smooth. So that's the last step of the compositing process. The ReelSmart Motion Blur filter should always be the last thing on so that it affects all your layers in a single precomp at once. Now, normally at this point in the process I would do a RAM preview. But in the next movie, we're going to be doing our final render so we can see our animation in all its glory.

7th-grader's effort paves way for smoke-free beaches
Isabella Hillman is all smiles after her efforts to establish smoke-free town beaches was placed on the ballot. (Courtesy) |
Thanks to her efforts, thousands of beachgoers in her town might be able to do the same this summer.
"They explained to me everything I needed to do," said Hillman. "They were a big help right from the start."
According to Rye Police Chief Kevin Walsh, because Article 24 is a nonbinding resolution that declares all nine town beach areas as smoke-free zones, signs will be posted asking beachgoers not to smoke, but they will not face a penalty or fine if they do.
Beach cleanups are conducted each month by volunteers. Most of the debris found during the beach cleanups comes from cigarettes.
"It will make places safer for people with breathing problems and helpful for the environment because cigarette butts are dangerous for marine life. It will make everything generally cleaner," she said.

Hello everyone! Welcome back to another drama filled episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Let's jump right on in!
"Children are the hands by which we take hold of heaven."
One of the things that I share with most of the women in my circle is the gift of motherhood. Being a mom is one of the most difficult, challenging, and amazing jobs that a woman can have. I love my daughter Noelle. She means the absolute world to me. I never truly understood what unconditional love meant until I gave birth to her. It's a love like no other. There are no words to describe the eternal bond that I share with my daughter. Everything in my life is more special because she is a part of my life. Noelle motivates me daily to push myself to my highest standard, and to be the best person that I can be. When I look into my daughter's eyes I am reminded of true love, what's really important in life, and that I am here for a greater purpose.
I sincerely wish Kenya is able to have the unbelievable fulfillment that I felt when I became a mother. I feel that Kenya has a strong desire for her own family because of her relationship with her mother. I believe that becoming a mother will not only satisfy Kenya, but also fill this void, giving her an overwhelming feeling of completeness. My heart goes out to her and all women who have missed the opportunity of being raised by a loving and present mother. However, life always presents missed opportunities. God willing and when the time is right, Kenya will be the mother that she never had. I am hopeful that Kenya is walking into her time and moment for this precious gift!

According to Saad, most acts of consumption are rooted in four key Darwinian drives: survival (we prefer foods high in calories); reproduction (we use products as sexual signals); kin selection (we naturally exchange gifts with family members); and reciprocal altruism (we enjoy offering gifts to close friends). His book also examines the similarities between animal and human consumer behaviours.
"Successful marketers capitalize on shared biological features that unite consumers within the proverbial global village," he says. "Marketers might not know the evolutionary reasons that drive commercial realities, but they are well aware that consumers possess universal commonalities."

PARIS — Models down the Alexander McQueen catwalk sported lace hood-like masks, similar to those shown at the recent retrospective of the designer at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
"The idea seemed quite extreme, but it's actually very pretty," said hairstylist Guido Palau, who created a swirl of braids on models' heads tucked under the hoods.
Part of their noses and mouths peaked out, and for that makeup artist Peter Philips created a nude face with "very alabaster" skin.

Barefoot elegance on Nusa Dua's powder-soft sands
the glamorous suites, private villas and private beach, which is one of the best on the island.
The St. Regis Bali Resort joined Nusa Dua's distinguished hotel scene six years ago. Cleverly marrying St. Regis' luxury standards with Balinese culture and style, the result was heavenly matrimony. Set beside a sought-after stretch of the island's deserted white sandy beach, St. Regis Bali faces the warm Indian Ocean. And all-encompassing gardens embrace its 123 suites and villas, four restaurants, two bars, salt-water lagoon pool, spa and Children's Learning Centre. Inside, it's all about low-key opulence with high-spec, high-tech features. Suites come in 12 categories from the king bed St. Regis Suite to the beach viewing, two-bedroom Grande Astor Suite with private pool and alfresco dining area. (Fact alert: the Astor Suite was named after the founding family of the first St. Regis New York hotel). There are also 41 Villas and the three-bedroom Strand Residence; each with separate butler quarters and the finest views of the ocean or gardens. Some have direct access to the lagoon that snakes around the resort and leads to a swim-up bar. The four restaurants offer a choice of fine dining haute cuisine, international fare and bistro-style dishes. While the two bars know something about cocktails: sister property St. Regis New York invented the Bloody Mary in 1934. Top tip: head to the serene world of Remède Spa for a dose of unadulterated pampering.

David Friend: Rue-ing Rudy
First, the injury: In the latest polls gauging Florida's Republican presidential primary, America's mayor is now projected as coming in a precipitous third in America's notorious swing state—a race that Rudy Giuliani has long insisted he "must win" in order to survive. Next, the insult: This morning, the mayor's hometown broadsheet, The New York Times, endorsed not Giuliani, but Arizona Senator John McCain. And the editorial board of the Times didn't just leave it at that. The Paper of Record, following up on its scathing front-page take-down piece on Tuesday, went out of its way to explain why it was rue-ing Rudy:
The real Mr. Giuliani, whom many New Yorkers came to know and mistrust, is a narrow, obsessively secretive, vindictive man who saw no need to limit police power. Racial polarization was as much a legacy of his tenure as the rebirth of Times Square…. Mr. Giuliani's arrogance and bad judgment are breathtaking…. The Rudolph Giuliani of 2008 first shamelessly turned the horror of 9/11 into a lucrative business, with a secret client list, then exploited his city's and the country's nightmare to promote his presidential campaign.
Why could Giuliani not wrangle a nod from his own city's paper? And why does no one from Massachusetts have a good thing to say about former governor Mitt Romney? In grasping for an answer, I'm reminded of the line Mayor Ed Koch delivered when Congresswoman Bella Abzug failed to deliver her own precinct in the 1977 mayoral primary against Koch. When asked why, Koch remarked, "Because her neighbors know her."

Step by Step Photos of How to Poach an Egg
How to Poach an Egg
How to Poach an Egg
My best friend was in town from Los Angeles over the weekend, and one of the first things she did when she saw me was to proudly proclaim that she had set a cooking goal for herself. "I love poached eggs at brunch, so it's time I learned how to make them at home," she said. Instead of going out on Sunday, we stayed home and made poached eggs with blender hollandaise and prosciutto. For some reason, poached eggs developed a reputation for being difficult to make, but really, the process is easier than waiting in line at a popular city brunch spot. See step-by-step photos when you keep reading.

That looks so easy! Will definitely have to try sometimes. I'm a huge fan of eggs benedict, but it's limited to being a treat when I travel!
4 years
I'm kind of skeptical about the vinegar. I mean, I feel that to change the pH enough to encourage the protein in the egg whites to denature would mean more vinegar than most people add. And to add enough would make the eggs taste very vinegary.
4 years
I've attempted to poach eggs in the past without vinegar; thanks for the tip! I will definitely give it another go.
4 years
I've never poached eggs before but would like to try. It looks a lot less intimidating now! Thanks for the slideshow.
4 years
I love poached eggs but always thought they really hard, I can't wait to try this out!!

i'm going to try this! my mom uses one of those poachpods to make hers and those work well if you want to do something other than the old school method featured here.

HTC, Apple settle patent dispute
Comment on this storyTaipei - HTC and Apple have settled their outstanding patent disputes.
In a joint statement on Sunday, the two companies said they also signed a 10-year license agreement that will extend to current and future patents held by one another.
Cupertino, California-based Apple and Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC had battled over the patents for various smartphone features since March 2010. Apple was claiming that HTC phones running Google's Android software had infringed on patents it held.
HTC chief executive Peter Chou says ending the litigation will allow his company to focus more on product innovation.
HTC has grown as the first maker of phones running on Android software. But its sales faltered from the second half of 2011 in a market increasingly divided between Apple and Samsung Electronics. - Sapa-AP

Butler pulls off upset of top-ranked Indiana
All Butler guard Alex Barlow saw Saturday was space and an opportunity to make a play. So the unlikeliest player on the floor took a chance...
INDIANAPOLIS — All Butler guard Alex Barlow saw Saturday was space and an opportunity to make a play.
So the unlikeliest player on the floor took a chance and made the biggest shot of the game.
When Indiana's defenders failed to converge on the 5-foot-11 walk-on, Barlow kept right on going through the lane, drove to the basket and hit a spinning 6-foot jumper with 2.4 seconds left in overtime to give the Bulldogs another stunning upset — 88-86 over No. 1 Indiana (9-1) in the Crossroads Classic.
"The floater is a shot I work on a lot and I happened to get a lucky bounce," Barlow said. "It was a good feeling."
Luckily for the Bulldogs (8-2), Barlow was on the floor.
The kid who spurned college scholarship offers to play his best sport, baseball, and opted to come to Butler for only one reason — to learn how to coach basketball from Brad Stevens — showed everyone he can hoop it up, too.
Stevens didn't hesitate to constantly keep the ball in Barlow's hands after three key Butler players had already fouled out. The sophomore who had scored only 12 points in nine games this season and 18 in his college career delivered with a series of key plays.
Barlow finished with a career-high six points, came up with a big steal that led to a go-ahead three-pointer late in overtime and finally won it with a shot that bounced off the back of the rim, straight into the air and finally through the net.
Other top 10 men
At No. 4 Syracuse 85, Canisius 61
James Southerland broke out of a slump with 21 points as Syracuse (9-0) extended its home winning streak to 29 games — the longest in the nation — and moved coach Jim Boeheim within one victory of 900.
No. 6 Louisville 87,
at Memphis 78
Chane Behanan scored 22 points and Louisville rallied from 16 points down in the first half to beat Memphis.
Louisville (9-1) trailed 25-9 in the first half before pulling out its fourth straight win in this rivalry with a team the Cardinals have played in three conferences. The Big East will be the fourth when Memphis joins in July.
Peyton Siva from Franklin High School added 19 points for Louisville. Memphis (6-3) had five players foul out.
At No. 7 Ohio State 90,
UNC Asheville 72
Sam Thompson scored a career-high 18 points and Ohio State (8-1) made the most of an opportunity to get out and run, beating UNC Asheville (3-7).
At No. 9 Kansas 89, Belmont 60
Ben McLemore and Travis Releford scored 17 points each, Jeff Withey had 14 points and blocked five shots, and Kansas (8-1) cruised past Belmont (6-3).

12 Reasons to Attend the Farmageddon Music Fest
Not everybody will be able to make the trek to The Farmageddon Music Festival going down on July 20th-22nd in West Yellowstone, Montana at Hebgen Lake. But if you're sitting on the fence, hemming and hawing, sweating because you only have two days left before you have to ask off for that extra day of work, here's 12 random reasons to pull the trigger.
Purchase Tickets to Farmageddon Fest
1. Slim Cessna's Auto Club
Of all the artists and bands I've seen live over the years counting any style of music, Slim Cessna's Auto Club is right up there for putting on the best live performance possible. They don't throw themselves around with tremendous energy or evoke epic guitar solos. Instead they rely on conjuring up the similar incantations to the old school snake oil salesmen and tent preachers did, preying on some inherent human frailty that allows you no other option than to submit to their spell. You may not know exactly what's going on, but you will love every minute of it.
2. Hebgen Lake
This is where Farm Fest is happening? What more needs to be said?
***UPDATE*** It has been moved to 10 Denny Creek Road off of Targhee Pass HWY/HWY 20. GET FULL DETAILS
3. The Drive There
Yeah, Farmageddon Fest's out-of-the-way location may be prohibitive for some folks, but it also one of the festival's best assets. Whether you're packing up the station wagon and heading out from Osh Kosh, or flying into Jackson Hole and renting a sub compact, and some point you will find yourself surrounded by some of the most beautiful country the United States boasts. It may be hard to get to, but it will be even harder to leave behind.
4. Performers
In the Farmageddon Fest lineup, you have some of the most dynamic performing bands in all the land. The aforementioned Slim Cessna's Auto Club for starts, then add on top of that the fire-breathing Goddamn Gallows, The Calamity Cubes, Husky Burnette, Southern Culture on the Skids, and Bob Wayne & The Outlaw Carnies just to name a few. These are bands that will melt your face off with their performances.
5. Songwriters
Tom VandenAvond, McDougall, James Hunnicutt, Stevie Tombstone, the legendary Soda Gardocki, and Graham Lindsey are just some of the high-caliber songwriters who will bring depth and soul to the Farmageddon stage. This is not just a one-trick festival, but one that will cater to a variety of musical moods and sensibilities.
6. Artists You May Not Get Another Opportunity To See
From the 2011 Saving Country Music Album of the Year winner Slackeye Slim to local boy Aran Buzzas, a lot of the bands playing Farmageddon Fest don't have the means to tour full time or nationally so this is your chance. Farmageddon Fest helps you out by putting them all in one place.
7. The Bands You've Never Heard Before
I've never understood folks who look at a festival lineup and scruch their nose at it saying, "But I've never heard of a lot of these bands." The discovery is half the fun. If a festival does their job right, their should be unfamiliar names. And if you do your job right, you walk away from the weekend with a few new favorite bands.
8. The Ugly Valley Boys
Just because their album Double Down is so damn good and I can't get enough of it.
9. Collaborations
The bands scheduled to play is a known quantity. What isn't is the random, improvised, and amazing collaborations that could break out at any moment, at any place, on stage, in the campground, in some bar back in town, you name it. "Oh my god I just saw Husky Burnette playing with Avery from the Goddamn Gallows on washboard and James Hunnicutt playing guitar, and then The Calamity Cubes were playing with Soda Gardocki and the Dead Tree String Band!" This is what your thumbs will be feverishly working to post to Facebook, and what is bound to happen when you put this many bands who are familiar with each other in one place.
10. Fellowship
Inevitably, whenever anyone attends a festival like this, they walk away boasting about the bands, the grounds, etc., but it is the fellowship, the camaraderie that is created when assembling such a collection of like-minded folks together for three days is what you walk away with valuing the most. The experiences can never be captured in photos or videos to the extent they will be in your heart.
11. Because if you don't support independent festivals, they will go away.
12. The Lineup
Hellbound Glory Heads East
Ever since I got my dirty little hands on a copy of Old High and New Lows I've been an outright whore for Reno's Hellbound Glory, but prefaced my enthusiasm by say they need to make it back east. Well now Leroy Virgil and the boys have called my bluff, and built up enough of a head of steam to hopscotch the Rockies a cruise all the way to South Carolina. Hot damn!
Come August 20th they'll be heading out and won't stop till they hit the coast. On their way they'll hook up with some other great acts, including Six Gun Britt and Last False Hope in Chi Town, The Flat Tires in North Carolina, and Aran Buzzas in Montana.
Recently Hellbound has been enjoying some good strong mainstream press and exposure, including a favorable review from my favorite country writer Juli Thanki. And CM Wilcox recently debuted a new song "Malt Liquor". Hey I thought Hellbound Glory was supposed to be our little scumbag secret? But I tell you what, if this small success keeps Leroy & Co. in beer and hot dogs, that means the music can keep flowing uninterrupted by day labor and dead end jobs, so I'm all for it!
You can find these dates, and ALL important concert dates where? All together class, "At savingcountrymusic.com/calendar."

The flower experts at FTD today announced that they are planning to add 39 new schools to the officially licensed FTD ® College Rose Collection. The Collection, available only at FTD.com, offers striking, fresh floral arrangements, which feature bi-colored roses in the official school colors of colleges and universities across the country. Arrangements are available with a colored keepsake glass vase etched with the school's logo, and many are delivered in a spirited college-themed gift box featuring the school's colors and mascot. College Roses can be ordered online at FTD.com and a portion of the proceeds from each purchase directly benefits the featured university.

PGR helps stone fruit growers hit marketing windows, cut fruit drop
By Vicky Boyd
A plant growth regulator that helps prolong fruit firmness and quality in apples is gaining a following among stone fruit growers, who say it helps them hit profitable marketing windows.
We were looking at it for timing on the marketing end, says Joy Cline, farm manager at Bear Mountain Orchards in Aspers, Pa., who tried the PGR, ReTain, on about 30 acres of peaches and nectarines in 2004. If you can hold that fruit an additional two or three weeks in storage when the market is flooded and then sell it when the people are out, it's going to be a help.
ReTain, from Valent BioSciences, has been federally registered for use on apples since 1997 and gained federal registration for stone fruit, except cherries, in 2004. It is not yet registered for use on stone fruit in California.
AVG, or aminoethoxyvinylglycine, the naturally occurring active ingredient in ReTain, blocks ethylene production in plant tissue. Ethylene, a plant hormone, controls fruit maturity, ripening, firmness and abscission, or fruit drop.
The product is approved by the Organic Materials Review Institute for use in organic production.
Can you hold, please
In apples, growers apply a single spray of ReTain about four weeks before the anticipated start of harvest. Because it prohibits ethylene production, ReTain allows growers to hold apples on the tree longer without softening or dropping. In the meantime, the fruit can color and size.
If apples enter storage firmer, chances are they will be better quality and firmer when removed and repacked, says Ricardo Menendez, Valent BioSciences global business manager for PGR products.
Cline first became acquainted with ReTain when she used it on red delicious, galas and Rome apples.
We use it mostly as a harvesting tool, she says. We wanted to delay the reds long enough to get a little bit better color. With all of our other varieties, we wouldn't get to our Romes quick enough, and we used it for drop-control problems.
Since the Romes remained on the tree two to two and one-half weeks longer, they also increased in size.
With the galas, she used the PGR to help gain size and color and was able to harvest in one picking.
In this case, it's a great harvesting tool, because we don't lose time pulling out of our peach harvest and we gain quality on the gala, Cline says.
Less drop in stone fruit
For stone fruit, ReTain should be applied seven to 14 days before anticipated harvest.
