Wednesday, July 20
Minute Maid Park
Attendance: 29,605
Houston, TX (Sports Network) - Jason Michaels singled in the 11th to score Humberto Quintero as Houston took down Washington, 3-2, in the rubber match of a three-game set.
Quintero singled to right to open the inning, then moved to second on a sacrifice bunt from Angel Sanchez. Michael Bourn followed with a base hit to center that moved Quintero to third before Michaels singled to end the game.
Clint Barmes tallied two hits and a run scored while Carlos Lee and Quintero each added an RBI for the Astros, who won their first series since they took two of three from the Dodgers on June 17-19.
Wilton Lopez (2-4) earned the win after tossing two scoreless frames.
Jayson Werth went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles and a two-run homer that followed a Michael Morse single. The Nationals, though, have lost seven of their last 10 tilts.
Todd Coffey (3-1) was tagged with the loss after giving up three hits in the 11th, including the game-winner.
The Nationals threatened to plate the go-ahead run in the 11th following a Werth double off the hill in center with one. But Lopez slammed the door shut, retiring pinch-hitter Ian Desmond and Jesus Flores to end the inning.
"I think the bullpen did a heck of a job being able to hold them for four innings, that's big," said Brett Myers, who started and pitched seven innings. "That is what we were missing earlier this season. I know they have been on track the last couple of weeks or so, so hopefully they keep that up."
Coffey then entered the game and recorded just one out before the Astros managed to score the winning run.
Werth tied the game with one swing in the sixth. After Morse reached on a infield single, Werth belted a first-pitch sinker deep into the left-field stands.
Washington also dodged a bullet in the eighth inning as Hunter Pence and Lee began the inning with walks before Tyler Clippard was called out of the Washington bullpen. Brett Wallace moved the runners up with a sacrifice bunt and Clippard intentionally walked Chris Johnson to load the bases. The All- Star reliever then retired the following two hitters, Barmes and Quintero, to escape the jam unscathed.
The Astros struck first, taking a 1-0 lead after one inning. Pence hit a two- out triple, then scored three pitches later when Lee hit a line-drive single to center.
Houston added another run in the second after Barmes singled to right with one out right before Quintero knocked him in with a double down the left-field line.
Nationals starter Livan Hernandez, who pitched six innings, says they would have liked to play a little better this series.
"We took the first game and the next two we lost 7-6 yesterday and 3-2 today. It was tough," he said.

Has anyone noticed the lack of activity on the cleaning tip forums? I tried to post there a few days ago, and my post never showed up. The last post I see there is from 9/22. Just curious if it's me or what.
Actually, the question I tried to post there was concerning how you fold your bath towels to take up less room...I sort of semi-roll mine. That's probably more of an organizing question then a cleaning question. so...firstly is the cleaning tips forum on the blink, and how do you fold or roll your towels? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've noticed that as well. I responded to the post at the top, titled "Spray Cleaning Oils." My response appears, but the counter for that thread isn't showing it. Something is wrong over there. I believe it started with the thread "Cleaning Up In the Heat" which apparently is a reference to something in the Hot Topics forum on GardenWeb. All of the threads disappeared for a while and then came back. |
Everything was wiped out on the cleaning forum during the weekend. Then it came back but a question I posted didn't appear when it returned. |
Same here... Casey |
I fold my bath towels in half and then half again. Hand towel I fold in thirds and then half so I can just place them on the counter. I don't keep that many towels because I don't like when the linen closet gets overstuffed. I keep two sets of towels per person plus have about 12 beach towels. I do laundry all the time so it hasn't been a problem. |

Yes, there is a glitch over there in the cleaning tips forum. New posts are not being posted. graywings I saw your *test* post, so replies are making it through. Just no new threads. dd50, I fold mine in half, then half again like you, but then I roll them so they are more narrow and I can get two rows one in front & one behind. But...they are thicker so I can't stack them as high. If I just do the 1/2 and 1/2 fold they are too wide and don't fit well on the narrow shelves, oh the dilemma...lol |

Outlook: Sahuarita helped its playoff hopes last week with a come-frombehind 27-26 win over Globe.
The Mustangs stuck to the ground game despite trailing 14-0 at halftime.
"The things that they do well are things that cause us trouble and that's be big and physical and run the ball," Coolidge coach Carlo Hernandez said. "I love our chances against teams that utilize their speed, but teams that pound the ball and are real physical give us problems."
The Mustangs had two rushers over 100 yards last week in Chris Brown and Tim Speers and Hernandez said his team can't let those two get that many yards again.
However, if the Bears continue to score at the pace they have been, it won't matter how many yards Brown and Speers get.
Coolidge is the highest-scoring team in the South Region and that status was helped by last week's 70-12 rout of Florence.
One player who has had a big impact recently is receiver Damar White, who has three straight 100-yard receiving games.
Sahuarita at Coolidge
Address: 800 W. Northern, Coolidge
Records: Sahuarita 5-2, 2-2; Coolidge 5-1, 2-1
Last year's meeting: Coolidge 35, Sahuarita 3

I went to ehealthinsurance --and found rates -- but I haven't been insured on my own (always on my parent's policy while I was in school), so I don't have any idea what is a fair price. Right now, I've only been able to find policies with $2,000-2,500 deductibles (most are PPO 80/20, although one I found is 0% coinsurance and $0 copay) for about $75-$115 a month. Anyone have any experience and/or advice and tips? Thanks!!!

Swap the Splenda for Stevia all natural sweetener, for a healthier alternative.
Great, I have a milk foamer and used it. Really good.
great! lol its coffee with half and half!
Liked it; however Splenda now makes Nectresse and I only use 1 small packet. This is made from the Monk fruit. and is not as sweet as the Splenda, but once you get use to it, it is superb. I never used more than a half packet of Splenda because it is too sweet for me.

After stumbling upon an unmanned camera during her sophomore year at NYU, Lacy Davillier devoted her studies to the photographic arts, earning a BFA in studio art with a focus on photography and graphic design. She found that the peace and seclusion of the dark room proved a welcome respite from the din of city traffic, the pressures of school, and the monotony of sunlight. The young yet experienced photographer now specializes in contemporary photography, chronicling weddings, maternity moments, and celebrating families on location or in her studio. This picturesque space on historic Canal Street, with its wood floors, original doors, and classic New Orleans porch, serves as a romantic backdrop for any manner of shoots, and is fully stocked with toys and organic juices for clients? kids. Lacy also performs a variety of graphic-design services as well as photograph-restoration work.
Karli Beard doesn't limit herself when it comes to photography. The multitalented shutterbug works adeptly with kids and adults alike, shooting new moms, families at play, and demure portraits in dim lighting. She also captures weddings and engagements with bridal photography sessions that memorialize big days better than a cake chiseled from granite.
Signature service: Portrait (individual & family) & Boudoir
Established: 2005
Reservations/Appointments: Required
Staff Size: 1 person
Average Duration of Services: 1?2 hours
Brands Used: Canon
Pro Tip: Drink plenty of water, relax, and come prepared to have fun all while creating memoriable photos.
How is your approach different than that of other professionals in your field?
I am very laid back and easy going. I like to make sure my clients are having fun while working with me. If they're having fun it will show in the end product.
When and how did you first develop a passion for your work?
I first developed a passion for photography in 2004 while I was living in the Bay Area in California. I started out doing amateur modeling. It was ok, but my interest was really in being behind the camera directing others. I wanted to take my ideas and produce stunning images.
What aspect of your job, or the services you offer, most often surprises people?
The fact that I offer Boudoir sessions; and they are amazed at my style of editing. I keep the customer looking natural while still removing flaws. I never "over edit" and make the clients look different or "unnatural".
Is there anything else you want to add that we didn't cover?
The most amazing part of my job is that when I am no longer physically here on this earth, I will still live on through my work. My work will be here forever either on the internet, hanging in someone's home, or tucked away in a photo albulm.
Approaching each photo session with an intuitive eye for original, compelling images, the passionate namesake of Jaci Layne Photography helps photo subjects from all walks of life to feel at ease before her flashbulbs. Jaci uses her diverse life experiences in hairstyling, film production, and even finance to inform her work as a professional photographer, and uses her background in cheerleading and gymnastics to ensure that no good angle goes unshot, even if it requires climbing trees or balancing on the spout of a park fountain. Jaci's eponymous company specializes in outdoor on-location shooting, usually in the early morning or at dusk, which Jaci prefers for the way it imbues photos with poignant natural light and lessens the appearance of bunny ears on nearby bunnies. Jaci chronicles many of her photographic adventures on her blog.
Agame?pronounced ah-gahm-e?is a yoga and meditation studio that does things a little differently. The extensive variety of yoga classes includes classics like beginner Vinyansa flow and hot Vinyasa, but it also encompasses specialty and lesser-known disciplines like the visualization-focused yoga nidra and the pain-relieving Svaroopa.
Agame isn't just for grownups. Alex, one of the studio instructors, teaches PLAYOGA classes designed for babies, kids, and parents. Meanwhile, bodywork experts dispatch massages and energy therapies, while workshops cover mindfulness and Ayurvedic eating for better health. Even Agame's methods of payment are unique?in addition to paying the old-fashioned way, patrons can trade work hours, attend donation-based community classes, or drop Monopoly money from a skyscraper.

Have a question about Northwest Soccer Camps? We have compiled an extensive list of Questions and Answers that are found below. If you don't find your question here, make sure to contact us and we'll be happy to help!
How do I contact the office?
The phone number is 425-644-0470 and our FAX is 888-471-1965. During the summer, we retrieve voicemail messages 7 days a week. Our mailing address is:
Northwest Soccer Camp
6830 NE Bothell Way, Suite C
Kenmore, WA 98028
You may also send messages to us at email@example.com. For more contact information click here.
How do I get to camp?
You can find directions to Bastyr University on our Camp Location page.
What do I do if there is an emergency?
In the event of a family emergency while your child is at camp, you may contact Cliff McCrath at 206-963-9047 (cell). Please use this number only for emergency situations.
In the event of a camp emergency, you will be contacted according to the phone numbers you provide during registration. Please review your online account information to ensure that these numbers are accurate. If contact info changes while your child is at camp, please update us immediately at 425-644-0470 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Health and Safety Issues
Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC) coverage is provided 24 hours a day, and full hospital and medical assistance is only minutes away.
Possession and use of illegal drugs, alcoholic beverages, tobacco and weapons of any kind is strictly forbidden. Such behavior is grounds for immediate dismissal from camp without refund or credit and at the expense of parent(s).
- Do I have to fill out health forms and show proof of health care insurance? Health and insurance information is provided on the registration form. It must be completed and signed before your child can attend camp. Please ensure you include this information on your registration form. Complete the "Authorization to Administer Medication" portion of the form to allow the Head Athletic Trainer to administer specific pain medication (e.g., Tylenol, Advil, etc.) to your child, if needed.
- Can my child take his/her regular medications while at camp? Yes, your child can take his/her regular medications on the same schedule that he/she does at home. Please check in ALL over-the-counter and prescribed medications (including aspirin, Tylenol, etc.) with our trainers at the registration table. Include written instructions and label all medications with your child's name.
If your child has any special medical conditions, including food allergies, please include details during the registration process and alert staff members upon check in. - What about special diet requests? All meals are provided by Bastyr University Dining Services under the direction of expert chefs skilled at creating tasty homemade soups, breads and healthy Whole Food entrees. Bastyr chefs use the highest quality ingredients, including organic whenever possible. Most special needs can be accommodated with advance notice; such options include vegetarian, lactose intolerant, wheat free, and nut allergy. Please note that every effort is made to avoid cross contamination, but the Bastyr University kitchen and the equipment are not absolutely wheat free and nut free. We regret that refunds cannot be provided for those who opt out of the meal plan.
Cell Phone Policy
Campers are encouraged NOT to bring cell phones to camp. If a camper brings a cell phone to camp, it will be collected on Sunday and returned at the end of camp. If campers need to make a phone call, they are instructed to contact their counselor or coach. We highly recommend campers leave cell phones at home for the following reasons:
- Cell phones detract from the camp experience, taking away from valuable training and social interaction.
- Cell phone usage can be disruptive and problematic if unsupervised.
- We cannot be responsible for lost or stolen cell phones not turned in to staff on Sunday.
How does the camp store work?
Camp store offers a variety of snack foods and beverages, as well as soccer apparel and other child-appropriate items. It is recommended that campers NOT keep money in the cottages, as these are not locked when campers are on the field, and Northwest Soccer Camp cannot be responsible for lost or stolen cash. Deposits may be made online or at check-in (no Canadian currency please). The average deposit is $20-30 for one week of camp. Campers can then draw on their account throughout the week. We encourage you to discuss with your child their spending limit. In addition, camp store policy limits daily purchases to avoid excessive buying. Larger purchases (e.g., sweatshirts, NSC T-shirts, etc.) are recommended on opening and closing days when parents are present (bank cards are accepted for nonfood items). If you do not wish to be contacted if your child runs out of store funds during the week, please notify us by sending a message to email@example.com. All profits from the sale of goods are credited to our needy camper fund. Campers may also bring snacks from home.
Parents: Deposits made by cash or check/echeck are refunded in cash, as are balances of less than $5 made in person at the store (Square). Please pick up any cash refund at the Camp Store prior to leaving on closing day. Uncollected cash refunds are credited to the Northwest Soccer Fund for scholarships. Unspent funds deposited ONLINE by credit/debit card will be refunded in the office the week following a child's last camp session of the year. Deposits using Square will be made by check if the balance is $5 or greater. You may use your online account to view your child's remaining balance or call the office for assistance. Updated balances are available each morning.
What other activities are there at camp?
In addition to our daily soccer offerings, free-time activities include many alternatives which, not surprisingly, include even more soccer options, as well as historic hikes through St. Edward Park, waterfront hikes, our ever popular arts and crafts program, soccer video tapes, and other play activities. As always, all activities are supervised.
What about discipline?
Northwest Soccer Camp does NOT approve of corporal punishment to resolve behavior problems. Should your son or daughter choose to engage in disruptive behavior, he/she will meet quietly with members of our staff to determine the problem and find workable solutions. Usually this is sufficient to convince a child that his/her behavior is hindering others from enjoying a great camp experience. If the problem continues, a "yellow card caution" may be given and certain restrictions (e.g., loss of store privileges for a day) may be imposed.
Our goal is to create a camp atmosphere in which each person is afforded the opportunity to learn soccer and have fun. It is rare when a "red card" is given, signaling that a camper must return home before the end of camp (at the expense of the parents). We do not believe in punishing an entire floor, team, or residence hall because of the inappropriate choices of a few. Group discipline is not our policy. Each situation is addressed individually under the supervision of the Camp Director, the Program Director, and the Executive Director.
What if my child leaves camp early?
Refunds or credits will not be given for "no-shows" or for those who leave camp early for any reason.
What if I need to cancel or change sessions? (See CFAR option below.)
If you must cancel, please do so as early as possible in order for us to notify those on our waiting lists. To cancel:
- Call our office at (425) 644-0470. If you reach voicemail, please leave a message including the camper's name, parent's name and telephone number.
- For cancellations made 21 or more days prior to your camp session you will receive a refund less a $50 administrative fee for each camp.
- For cancellations, for any reason, made 20 or fewer days before your camp session, you will receive a gift certificate less a $100 nonrefundable deposit. The gift certificate can be used towards a future Northwest Soccer Camp, including the following calendar year.
- CFAR (Cancel For Any Reason) Refund. One of the perennial problems faced by our Northwest Camper families–as well as our administration–is camp cancellation….due to injury, sickness, last minute travel conflicts and a host of other reasons. We make every effort to resolve the problem, and there are big-time losses on every level – and no little grief. The camper family wants a full refund while up-front costs, which begin from the moment a camper registers until camp ends, have to be paid by the camp whether the camper attends or cancels. Our answer is: CFAR–"cancel for any reason." During the on-line registration process, you will be asked whether you want to purchase CFAR at a cost of $29.95. This is the ONLY time the option will be available to you. If you purchase CFAR and need to cancel, call our office at 425-644-0470. If you reach voicemail, please leave a message including the camper's name, parent's name and telephone number. NOTE: The CFAR refund option applies up to camper check-in. ONCE CHECK-IN IS COMPLETED, THE STANDARD CANCELLATION POLICY APPLIES (see above).
There is no charge to change sessions (subject to availability) provided arrangements are confirmed before the start of the initially selected session.
How will my child's skills be assessed?
Our goal is to provide each camper with as much individual instruction and attention as possible. To assist us in accomplishing this goal, every camper is given an initial assessment of soccer skills and 'game' sense in the opening session. Instruction groups are organized on the basis of age and skill level. Technical skills (passing, controlling, heading, dribbling, etc.) are evaluated by means of a skills evaluation. Soccer "sense" or "game sense" (awareness) is determined through participation in small-sided games. The result of this assessment determines the assignment for instruction groups, which begin Monday morning. We reevaluate during Monday's sessions and make any necessary adjustments.
May I observe my child while he/she is at camp?
We encourage you to accompany your son/daughter/team to camp on opening day. This will allow you to view the excellent facilities and meet our staff. You are welcome to observe your son/daughter/team while at camp. All coaches need to notify staff in advance that they will be observing and need to check in with the Camp Director upon arrival. We are unable to provide food and accommodations for you due to space limitations. Upon request, we will provide a list of local accommodations.
Will awards be presented at the end of camp?
Awards will be presented on closing day at approximately 11:15 a.m. Parents are invited to attend. Camp closes at the conclusion of this ceremony.
Are parents allowed to watch the final games on closing day?
Absolutely. Come early and watch final league games beginning at 10:00 a.m. Games and field sessions end promptly at 11:00 a.m. Please DRIVE SLOWLY when entering and leaving camp.
I've heard about "post-camp depression;" what is it?
Shortly after camp, perhaps the next day, a camper may appear all tuckered out and somewhat sluggish. Frequently, this is a result of shifting out of a highly organized camp schedule and returning to a more individualized home atmosphere. In addition, we keep campers pretty busy and the accompanying fatigue contributes to a "letdown." After a two- to three-day adjustment period, they should be at "full-steam" again.
Also, from a learning perspective, your son/daughter or team may not be able to reproduce all that they have learned at camp just after you pick them up. However, through the process of assimilation, the next time they join their team, a marked improvement in playing skills should be obvious.
What if my child loses something while at camp?
Please check the Lost and Found before leaving camp. If you discover later that your child left something behind, simply call us at 425-644-0470 with a description of the item. All L&F not claimed by Labor Day will be donated to the Goodwill.
If you have any further questions or would like to contact us, please send a message to email@example.com or call our office at 425-644-0470.
How do I register?
Click on either "Register Now" or "My Account" from any page on our website. See Registration Options for a detailed description of how to register. Upon successful registration, you will receive email confirmation. We recommend you print a copy for your records.
Is camp coed?
Each week of camp is coeducational, however during the Field Player and Elite sessions, girls and boys are trained separately. In all sessions, instructional groups are organized on the basis of age and skill level. Our staff features male and female coaches and counselors from around the globe who are trained to provide each camper with maximum safety, supervision, and soccer instruction. And as always, male and female campers are housed separately.
Does NSC provide transportation for my child to and from camp?
Parents are responsible for transportation to and from camp. We cannot release names of other campers traveling from your area. We do, however, offer transportation for resident campers to and from SeaTac Airport and train and bus stations in the greater Seattle area. The fee is $50 one way or $75 for round trip. Please email or call the office to make arrangements. Whenever possible, provide two to three weeks' advance notice. Teams or larger groups may choose to use a service such as Shuttle Express, 1-800-487-7433.
What do I pack for camp?
Download our Suggested Packing List.
This is a list of things we suggest you bring to camp. Remember to label EVERYTHING with first and last name.
*PLEASE NOTE: Well-fitting (broken in) footwear will help avoid blisters and promote full participation in all camp activities.

If calling on opening day, please call 206-963-9047 (Cliff's cell phone) to let us know when you will be arriving. If you reach voicemail, please leave the first and last names of all campers traveling with you and your approximate arrival time. Messages are checked 7 days a week and around the clock on check-in and closing days. NOTE: Traffic delays and/or other emergencies should not cause undue stress. Call Cliff and all will be well!
What time is camp over?
Parents are invited to an awards ceremony at 11:15 a.m. on closing day. Checkout and departure usually is complete by 12 noon, when all facilities close. We appreciate your timeliness, as our staff does not remain on site during the weekend. We cannot accommodate campers through the weekend. Parents will need to make weekend arrangements for multiple-week campers prior to their arrival at camp.
How can I send mail or a "care" package to my child while he/she is at camp?

To have your TEAM train and room together at an NSC resident camp, please send a message to firstname.lastname@example.com providing us with the camp date desired, your team roster, the number you anticipate will register, and instructions stating that your team is to be trained and lodged together.
One coach per team may attend as our guest. Allowing time for completion of the requisite background checks, please indicate if you or other coaching staff will be visiting to observe training sessions. Additional coaches are welcome to observe their teams (always checking in with camp staff upon arrival); however, meals and lodging must be arranged separately. Please contact us for a list of nearby facilities.
When 8 or more team members attend resident camp, those who have not received any other form of discount are eligible for a team discount of $50.00.
Register your group in one of two ways:
- Collect and mail all completed registration forms and Parent-Athlete info sheets (concussion waivers), which may be downloaded from www.nwsoccer.org; your team roster; and deposits in one envelope. On the paper registration form, use your TEAM name for "roommate preference." As coach, you have the option of providing us with pairings (two per room) at least two weeks before your camp session begins.
- Send your team roster to the NSC office (email@example.com). Instruct parents of each member to register online, including the TEAM name in the space provided for "Housing Request" information. When 8 or more have signed up, please contact us to verify registrations, at which time discounts will be applied.
Any questions? Don't hesitate to contact us at 425-644-0470 or firstname.lastname@example.com. We're happy to help.
What if my child wets the bed while at camp?
Our bed-wetting management program is designed to reduce, if not eliminate, any embarrassment or awkwardness when incidents occur. First, we endeavor to complement the policy in force at home. (Example, if the child is roused at certain times we will follow the same schedule; if allowed to "sleep through" we will conform as well). If a bed-wetting incident occurs, the measures we take the following morning are designed to correct the problem (soiled sleeping gear and clothing). Here's how it works:
- Wake up call for everybody.
- Clean up and bed straightening for all. Camper has been told in advance by parents and counselor – in private – to simply straighten his/her sleeping bag and leave soiled sleeping garments in sleeping bag.
- All campers depart dorms for morning activities. (If comfortable, the child informs counselor in private that sleeping bag and garments have been soiled.)
- Once the dorms are empty, counselors check beds for soiled sleeping apparel. Soiled items are taken to the camp laundry where all items are washed and tumble-dried and returned to the appropriate bed.
- Camper returns to clean, fresh-smelling bunk.
- ALL IS WELL … AND DRY!!! No one is any the wiser and the camper avoids any embarrassment.
This is our policy and we make every effort to see that it works.
What if my child becomes homesick?
We do not encourage campers to call home unless specific arrangements are made in advance. Telephone availability is limited, and if your child is "homesick," calling home at the first sign of homesickness usually compounds the problem. We have an outstanding staff, many of whom are parents and teachers, and the supportive atmosphere in our camp usually brings children through this difficult experience with flying colors. "Homesick" campers that "make it" through the week overcome an important hurdle and get both personal affirmation and praise from the staff. It can be a very positive and esteem-building experience. Finally, we encourage all parents to restrict the use of cell phones during camp sessions!
How do I register?
Click on either "Register Now" or "My Account" from any page on our website. See Registration Options for a detailed description of how to register. Upon successful registration, you will receive email confirmation, and we recommend that you print a copy for your records.
What does my camper need to bring to camp?
Each day your child should bring a sweatshirt, shin guards, soccer shoes, tennis shoes, a water bottle, and lots of enthusiasm. Please make sure that all personal belongings are clearly marked with the camper's name. DO NOT bring soccer balls. The camp provides balls, lunch, sunscreen, and plenty of water. We recommend that you (or your child) apply sunscreen before leaving home each morning and send it to camp. Campers are reminded to use sunscreen before each session, and staff does not apply it for them. Camp Store options are available. Please note that snack items may also be brought from home. Store deposits may be made in advance online or upon check-in. We encourage you to discuss with your child his/her spending limit (amount on account), as well as your purchase preferences. You may check the balance online each morning and add funds if desired.
How do I get to camp?
All camps are held at Bastyr University in Kenmore, Washington. For directions, see the Camp Location page.
What time do I drop off and pick up my child?
Campers should arrive at 9 a.m. daily and be picked up within 15 minutes of the conclusion of camp. Monday through Thursday, camp begins at 9 a.m. and concludes at 5 p.m. On closing day, parents are encouraged to attend the awards ceremony at approximately 11:15 a.m. and are invited to arrive early to observe final league games which begin about 10 a.m.

Discovered this restaurant at 16 Famous Ave near the Collusus Theatre by accident and wish we'd found it sooner. Had macaroni and cheese and a sandwich. Very good!
Their soup is amazing. Well worth the price. I drove out of my way just to have the soup. I enjoyed the bistro onion soup but the broccoli cheddar rocks. I have had the mixed berry smoothie without the yoghurt and it was very tasty.
This location has closed. Very unfortunate. It was a great place to eat. Patrons are being asked to visit other locations.
I`ve been using this place for meetup group meetings for 3 years already.Good food (onion soup is very tasty), staff is very friendly, welcoming atmosphere.
The food was ok at best. I left hungry. I didn't want to order anything else because I didn't really enjoy what I ordered the first time. I have not and would not go back. FYI fooling yourself if you think this is healthy food!!!!!
A colleague and I went here to catch up. The selection is great. Lots of sinful options and a high number of healthier options. You order your food and take a number to your table and someone will bring you your food. It's great that no one is coming around to see if you are done so there is no... More
This is a nice relaxing place for a light meal or snack.. There are many choices, but what people really come for is the excellent coffee and the fresh baked goods. Coffee and teas are bottomless cups and the carafes are replaced very frequently so you are always guaranteed a fresh cup. . Breads, buns, pasteries etc. look very appetizing.... More

I think I am just about finished with my fairy garden. The umbrellas are made from my variation of the mushroom with knives for the base, I covered the ground in moss, made the path out of plywood and gems, the miniature vases and clock are from my secret santa this year, a few assorted plants from the garden, coconut house, and a broken mushroom in the back for decoration. I really enjoyed putting this one together, although I am sure it will continue to evolve. |

Sweet. How do you make those cute unbrella mushrooms? Kathy |
- Posted by purplemoon z9 Phoenix (My Page) on Sat, Jun 5, 10 at 17:19
What a really wonderful fairy garden. I love it, and so will the fairies. You did a fantastic job of designing it. Dollar Tree has neat fairies if you want to add any. I was looking at ALL your mushrooms in your album. WOW. How did you make those neat tops? hugs, Karen |
I am pretty sure it was Jeannespines that started me on the mushrooms. I used several different size bowls for the tops, just wrapped them in an old disposable vinyl tablecloth(those thin ones you get in a roll, I saved some from a party). Add sakrete and insert the dull end of the piece of silverware, it will harden right up in the mix. You can also add the empty toilet paper roll into the mix and fill with the sakrete. This way it is all one piece. I also put in some kind of support into the roll like a piece of coat hanger of plastic stick. They seem to stand up better that way. |

Cute fairy garden! Is it in a wheelbarrow? If so, I really like that idea! Your mushrooms are great...and looks like some cute goodies for fairies.... ...but I beg to differ with darknox, "if you build it, they will come." LOL! That's here in Iowa ..."Field of Dreams!" But maybe the fairies come from out of the cornfields! LOL! TFS, imjustsam! Jeanne S. |

I LOVE IT!!!!!!, that is way too cute. Is that moss you used as a ground cover? If so excellent idea. I've been trying to get fairies in my gardens forever, I looked up what kind of plants they like and planted them in an area they should have liked, but so far all I get are gnomes. Maybe if I stole your idea and planted fairy plants in it as well, then maybe I can finally get fairies. |

ABSTRACT. In 2007, most of the accelerometer chips sold in the US were installed in cars. Today, accelerometers are in every phone, every computer, every video game con- troller and in fitness watches and smart bands. They have also been used in countless movement-based artworks and installations. This paper describes how the accelerome- ter moved from automotive safety to video games, why it's installed in our laptops and phones, and how it enables the direct and immediate measurement of human motion. We continue with a discussion of the use of accelerometers to measure human motion in a wide variety of industries, from healthcare to sport, from music to augmented dance. A detailed discussion of the opportunities and limitations of the measurement of acceleration is presented, followed by an exploration into a possible future where all electronic devices know where they are how they are moving, and by extension, the movements of the people they are connected to.

X-Prize Founder Wants Ideas For Fixing Education
Just 2 ideas (479 comments)
1: Education needs the parents back in charge. Yes, that means some bad decisions, but it will have more people involved with the education of their own children. As a parent of a 4th grader, I can tell you I am all but excluded from a lot of the decisions that get made for him at school.Too much money is being spent in administration of the school system, and that takes precious resources away from the teachers themselves. Parents can be counted on to do more for their children. We are waiting for the opportunity.
2: Technology could make schools more interactive for the purpose of easing the burden on teachers. Teachers don't need home rooms, students do. Then you only have to move around teachers to the virtual desk they have in the system. The result is less time in the halls for the students, and more time in a familiar place.

This TV, barely a year old, turns on and off at random. The ON/OFF timers are disabled in the menu, the clock is set correctly, and the remote can be in another room when this happens. Buttons on the front of the set do not seem to be stuck, or otherwise compromised. Anyone had this experience? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Does it turn off by itself or only on? Televisions, unless unplugged, always have electricity running to the power supply. An on/off problem would most likely be in a component there. Could there be any other device near the TV that could be triggering the set to come on? DVD Player? VCR? Cable box? Most of these have the ability to control multiple units. Remove them from the area to see if they are the cause as well. They may need new batteries. If you turn the TV off, will it come right back on immediately? Does it make any noise when it turns on by itself? Is there a consistent timing factor involved? For instance, if it turns off by itself, does it do this if the TV is on for 3 minutes? |

Once when I first got Dish my neighbor was turning mine off somehow. Their customer service figured it out somehow. I've an old $79 TV that gets on one of these trips quite often. Just unplugging it for 15 minutes may fix it for a day or a year. |

Would not recommend
Grandeur that has faded
This hotel was at one time a wonderful place to stay. In fact, I stayed there several years ago and had a generally good experience. Unfortunately, the standards have eroded since then. One thing that should be a concern to everyone is the inflated description of the rooms. Most are described as being suites, but in truth they are simply ordinary hotel rooms. On the positive side, breakfast in the hotel restaurant can be a pleasant experience, especially when the windows are open with views to the street and the passersby. My suggestion to travelers would be to find an alternate hotel that is in the same general location.
Would recommend
Okay Room
For the type of hotel I expected a better set up for the room. It is okay though.
La Marquesa
Beautiful hotel, Mexican Colonial architecture at its best. Nice personnel. Complains: The menu at the restaurant promissed stuff that they did not have (some specific fruits, moles, etc.), the problem was that they did not inform you before ordering, they just gave you something different. The maid did not replace bathroom amenities.

Garmin reverses course and offers on-board maps for iPhone
I didn't like the first Garmin StreetPilot app for iOS because maps had to be downloaded on the fly. Not good if you are out of cellular range, and even worse if you you are downloading lots of maps on a metered data plan.
Garmin has finally come around and is offering maps that are contained on your iPhone. There are two US versions, one with the 49 states (Alaska is excluded) and and some Caribbean islands for US $39.99 and a North America version for $49.99. There is also a UK and Ireland version for £44.99.
Of course these new apps are a larger download. The US version is 1.37 GB while the original StreetPilot app weighed in at 10 MB. This latest version makes for a far more competitive offering on the iPhone. I'm hoping to get a copy for review.
Last Week Garmin announced it had acquired Navigon and I'm hoping the two companies will provide even more innovative and aggressively priced solutions for iPhone owners.

The Southern Regional Extension Forestry Office facilitates programming among professionals who work on many issues and opportunities facing the forestry and natural resources communities, including climate change.
PINEMAP integrates research, extension, and education to enable southern pine landowners to manage forests to increase carbon sequestration; increase efficiency of nitrogen and other fertilizer inputs; and adapt forest management approaches to increase forest resilience and sustainability under variable climates.
U.S. forests play a large role in offsetting carbon emissions, about 20 % of the U.S. fossil fuel carbon output. If a forest replaces itself after a disturbance like fire, then there is no long-term loss of carbon.
An overview of a set of tools that assess how climate change might influence tree distributions in the eastern U.S.
The Eastern U.S. forest perspective on carbon sequestration and examples of forest carbon management projects.
TACCIMO is a web-based information delivery tool that connects climate change science with forest management and planning needs. Science content in TACCIMO consists of quotations from peer-reviewed climate change literature and geospatial projections of future climate and resulting changes in ecosystems. USFS forest plan components are included to connect science with planning language.
The Template for Assessing Climate Change Impacts and Management Options (TACCIMO) is a web-based tool and information service that provides science to support integration of climate change science into land management planning.
The Climate Change Atlases can help to answer a range of questions concerning current and projected suitable habitat (year 2100) for 134 tree species and 147 bird species in the eastern U.S.
The Climate Change Atlases can be used to examine the current distribution of tree and bird habitats in the eastern United States, and how tree and bird distribution might change in response to different climate scenarios.
We are exploring how summer stream temperatures influence fish and crayfish distributions in Mississippi and establishing long-term stream temperature recording sites. A focal species for the study is the Yazoo darter, a small, warmwater fish endemic to north-central Mississippi. This species appears to be restricted to stream segments with high groundwater discharge, and we are investigating whether the species' apparent groundwater dependence is due to temperature influences of groundwater.
We are exploring how summer stream temperatures influence fish and crayfish distributions in Mississippi and establishing long-term stream temperature recording sites. We placed an array of 60 temperature recorders in groundwater and non-groundwater influenced stream sites throughout the Little Tallahatchie River drainage, Holly Springs National Forest, in 2011. Sites were chosen to capture the range of temperatures where Yazoo darters occur and do not occur. The Yazoo darter is a small, warmwater fish endemic to north-central Mississippi. Many remaining populations are small and isolated by reservoirs, channelized rivers, or road crossings. The species appears to be restricted to stream segments with high groundwater discharge. We are investigating whether or not the species' apparent groundwater dependence is due to temperature influences of groundwater. In addition, we will explore correlations between water temperatures and fish and crayfish community composition. We established long-term temperature monitoring sites in streams with and without strong groundwater influences. In 2012, we will expand the study to a neighboring drainage and will sample fish and crayfish communities.

Foreign policy professionals and the reporters who cover them have a natural bias towards seeing the world as a dangerous place. After all, if your assessment of a country or an issue is "mostly harmless" (as the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy famously described our planet), you're going to lose your audience and some of your funding. I'm not saying this is a conscious decision (at least not in most cases), but fear is to foreign policy as sex is to advertising and Hollywood: It sells.
Micah Zenko and Michael Cohen do a good job of revealing this bias -- and how far it is from reality -- in a recent article in Foreign Affairs.
They point to a survey that shows that 69 percent of the members of the Council on Foreign Relations (the definition of the foreign policy establishment) feel the world is as or more dangerous for the US than it was during the Cold War and recent statements from politicians. Near-certain Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney says the world is growing ever more perilous and President Barack Obama's Defense Secretary Leon Panetta appears to agree, saying in a speech last year that "security, geopolitical, economic, and demographic shifts in the international order (are making) the world more unpredictable, more volatile and, yes, more dangerous."
Yet by every objective measure the world at large is remarkably safe by historical standards. Why the love of fear? Zenko and Cohen argue:

Things to think about
Before viewing
Can you think of lots of different kinds of trees? Do you know the names of some fruit trees, rainforest trees, Australian native trees?
Why are trees important to animals, the environment and us?
As you view
Nick, the presenter, describes the grey alder he climbs as a whole ecosystem. Who is it a high-rise home for? And how does it feed the soil and creatures on the ground?
Listen for the climates that date palms grow well in.
Listen as Nick compares the bark of trees to clothes. Why have trees developed bark?
After viewing
Make a list of some of the trees in the clip. Include details about each one's structure, growing conditions and special features.
What is special about bonsai trees? Explain how the roots and branches are treated when a bonsai tree is being planted and as it grows.
Next steps
Go to Planet Ark's National Tree Day website to find out when the next Tree Day is, and how you could become involved. There is also a Schools Tree Day with lots of related activities and resources for students and teachers.
Follow the steps in the clip to plant your own tree or create a bonsai tree. Don't forget to wear gloves when handling soil and plants.
NICK HARDCASTLE:Oh! (Whimpers) (Roars) (Sighs) Trees are amazing. They're so important to our whole lives. We depend on them for so many things. This grey alder might be enormous, but it's just a baby really. It's like a high-rise home for many insects, birds and wildlife. When the autumn leaves fall, it feeds the soil and creatures living on the ground. A tree is not just a plant - it's a whole ecosystem and a vital part of our lives. This blue gum tree is an evergreen. It never loses all its leaves at the same time. Oak trees are deciduous. That means they lose all leaves in autumn. It's a beautiful season as leaves turn from green to all kinds of bright colours. Conifers have cones and are a very ancient kind of tree. Their leaves have become long needles. Fresh home-grown fruit is delicious. Apple trees like cool climates, as do stone fruit like peaches. Many fruit trees, like bananas and mangoes, will only grow in the hot tropics. Date palms come from very hot and dry climates and are one of the oldest of all fruit trees. We've grown them for over 6,000 years. But there's a bit of a fashion statement for trees. There are all kinds of textures and patterns developed to suit the conditions that the tree's evolved in. We have sensitive skin, and wear clothes to protect us. Trees have bark to protect the delicate layer of growing tissue just below the surface. Planting a tree in your garden is easy. Most important thing's picking the right tree, finding out about it and looking ahead and seeing how big it'll grow. This is an alder tree. Like the grey alder we saw, it'll get really tall and wide. I picked a spot with lots of space and it won't cause and problems. I've already dug the hole, filled it with water and drained it. The hole's twice as wide as the roots, and it's a little deeper than the pot. Throw in some compost. Now we can throw in our tree. Tease out those roots. Free them up. And place it in. Then just fill that back up with the soil you've taken out. Give it a little water. Easy treesy. The bloated bottle tree grows in very dry places. Its swollen trunk is a way of storing water. The sausage tree has strange, drooping fruit that look like... sausages. They should grow near a barbecue. The bright, red sap of the dragon blood tree was used by Canary Islanders to scare off evil spirits. The giant redwood trees that grow in America are the largest living things on Earth! The world's tallest tree ever was an Australian mountain ash. Oh, you cute little baby tree. Yes, you are. Actually, it's not a baby tree. It's a mature tree. But it's been dwarfed through the ancient art of bonsai, which literally means 'potted tree'. I've got Dariel and Ella with me today. You've got some favourites.DARIEL:Yes. I like this because it's 30 years old.NICK HARDCASTLE:Get out! That's twice as old as me, and it's so tiny. And you?ELLA:Look at this one. It's tiny. I can't believe a tree can grow in such a tiny pot.NICK HARDCASTLE:It's crazy but true! In fact, you can grow a tree in any sized container, and we're about to find out how. Come on. Start with a shallow pot, making sure it has holes for drainage. Place a sheet of mesh over the holes. Create a layer of gravel. This also helps with drainage. Then add a good-quality potting mix. Take your tree and check the roots. Snip the thicker-looking roots off. The best ones are the fine fibrey ones. Place your tree in the pot. Pat it down firmly. A bit of moss also looks great - or you can use other decorations, such as stones and shells. Konichiwa, bonsai. Look after your bonsai. Treat it like you would any tree. It needs lots of sunlight, water. Don't let it dry out. In fact, it will grow better outside. You'll have to re-pot your bonsai every year. Pay special attention to the roots. If they're long and thick, snip them. You can also prune back branches, but keep the healthy ones. Let's come back in 30 years and see if this looks anything like this guy. I'm not busy that day. Why not?
