Sept. 20 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. House voted to finance the federal government through mid-December and choke off funding for President Barack Obama's health-care law, setting up a showdown with the Senate and the White House. The Republican-controlled House today passed, 230-189, a stopgap measure to fund government operations after current authority expires Sept. 30. The spending measure now will be sent to the Senate it will pass without defunding the health-care law, Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said yesterday. (Source: Bloomberg)

Makes 8 hors d'oeuvres, serving 2
Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.
- 8 medium radishes
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Slick Rick: The Ruler
Richard Walters (born January 14, 1965), better known by stage names Slick Rick, MC Ricky D and The Ruler, is a rapper. Originally from South Wimbledon, London, England, he moved with his family to The Bronx in 1975 where he met B-Weezy who taught him how to rap.[citation needed] He has always credited "B" from St. Louis for his success with his career. Rick's characteristic eyepatch was acquired after being blinded in the right eye by broken glass as an infant. He is best known for a series of rap recordings during the 1980s, including "Children's Story" and "La Di Da Di". -Charlie Rock of Harlem World crew was instrumental in bringing Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh together when Doug requested an introduction after he had seen him win local MC battle contests. It was at an MC contest at the 369 Armory on 142nd street in Harlem, given by promotion partners Ray Chandler & Charlie Rock, that Rick & Doug were formally introduced by Rock. -As a 20-year-old in the summer of 1985 he scored his first big hits (with Doug E. Fresh), "La Di Da Di" and "The Show" and "All the Way Down" circa. 1986. -Slick Rick released the song "La Di Da Di" back in the early 1980s which features Doug E. Fresh and the Get Fresh Crew. His first album The Great Adventures of Slick Rick was released in 1988 while he was living in New York City. "Children's Story", which appears on The Great Adventures of Slick Rick, is one of the most famous songs in rap and has been covered by Black Star, Black Rob, Everlast, Messy Marv, Tricky's side project Nearly God, UK rapper Ramson Badbones, Björk, Nonpoint, Snoop Doggy Dogg and Japanese rapper Zeebra. "Children's Story" was also featured on the videogame Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on Playback FM, a classic hip-hop station. The album attained platinum status, but Rick was unable to exploit this due to an arrest for attempted murder. He shot a bystander and his cousin whom he'd hired as a body guard and who later admitted to having Walters shot outside a club in 1991. Russell Simmons, head of Def Jam records, bailed him out and Rick quickly recorded The Ruler's Back before spending five years in prison, two for the second degree attempted murder charges he received for that shooting, and three while hassling with Immigrations Services over his residency in the US. "La Di Da Di", "Mona Lisa" and "Children's Story" are among his best known songs, with "La Di Da Di" being covered nearly word-for-word by Snoop Dogg on his 1993 album Doggystyle.
F. Stokes
Born on the South Side of Chicago, Rodney "F. Stokes" Lucas was raised in the extreme conditions familiar to the millions of American's who have experience with America's urban ghettoes. F.Stokes, the eldest of six siblings, grew up in a single-mother household. In F.Stokes case, the term "household" is a misnomer, as his childhood was characterized by frequent address changes, and a stint at a homeless shelter.
F.Stokes music depicts the stark and brutal realities of the impoverished urban experience. However, F.Stokes chooses not to glamorize the circumstances of his upbringing. Rather than capitalizing on the misconceptions of the modern black experience that have begun to dominate the hip-hop landscape, F.Stokes provides thoughtful insight into the plight of black men in our nation's largest cities.
Through vivid imagery and skillful wordplay F.Stokes reinterpret the thematic traditions of the soul and blues movements for a new generation of music fans. Beneath F.Stokes undeniable talent as a lyricist, he is driven by a deep sense of responsibility to promote progress and compassion with his music.

Purchased teriyaki sauce combined with extra garlic is a nice change from a typical marinade for mushrooms.
Surimi is mild whitefish that is cleaned, pressed and tinted to look like crustaceans or shellfish. A centuries-old Japanese tradition, surimi is often prepared using Alaskan pollock.
For Teriyaki Vegetable-Stuffed Mushrooms, omit the surimi and use a few different colors of bell peppers. To keep colors fresh, finely chop the peppers and combine them with water chestnuts just before serving.

Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Heather, it is more likely to flower in late winter to early spring, but they can sometimes flower somewhat out of season. Factors such as fertilization, watering, production the previous year can play a part. Withholding water and fertilization until later in the warm season next year will increase your chances of it flowering, as stress induces flower production. They don't require much fertilizer anyhow. Homegrown mangos is tasty! Gary |
Thanks for the info, Gary. I'll try to be patient and see what happens! Heather |
Hi Heather, We have a huge Haden mango tree in our yard which is about 35 years old. It's so large we've had to have it cut back some every few years. The mangoes are large and delicious. Some years we get so many we have to cut them up and freeze them. They are wonderful in cobblers and mango bread. Our tree usually starts to flower in late December or January. As a matter of fact, tomorrow I'm going to check it to see if any blossoms are forming. I think some varieties flower a little later than the Haden. We usually start eating mangoes in June and into July. Happy gardening! Sheri :-) |
Thank you, Sheri! I'll keep an eye on it and see what happens. The house is only four years old, so I know that the tree can't be more than four. Maybe it's just a little "slow". Heather |
I also live in Lee county and my hayden is blooming now. Give it a little time your tree looks healthy. |
That's a huge tree for four years old, wow. Maybe its a very vigorous growing var. such as Valencia Pride or Bailey's Marvel. A couple of my 18 vars are flowering now, but most are not yet. Gary |
I went out and checked my mango tree today, and I can see some little buds in the center of the leaves. Unfortunately since I am new to gardening, I have no way of knowing whether these buds are flower buds or leaf buds. So only time will tell for me... |
Hi Heather, I would like to say your tree is Beautiful and Big!! Mine are very small compared to yours... I'm pretty excited , I took these yesterday...I planted these trees 20 months ago, so this is the first time these trees are flowering for me. I am trying not to get my hopes up too high though, since I live in (central florida), we've had an unusually cold Fall so far, already had two or three light frost on the grass in the mornings. So I'm sure there will be a frost that will zap these flowers and kill it...:o( I posted a picture of what you have to look forward to! You should be able to tell in a few days or so, it does look like they could be blooms, but also that is how new About your powdery mildew, I am pretty new to growing mangoes but you could spray it with some type of fungicide? But I would wait till the more knowledgeable members here have to say. Here is a great link I found that explains several diseases of Mango trees and if you scroll down you will see powdery mildew...Hope that helps! Good Luck! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Powdery Mildew
Heather, I have nine (9) varieties of mango here in Fort Myers. All of them are blooming, the early varieties and the late ones. If your mango tree is not grafted, it may take few more years before it blooms. Seedlings take longer to produce fruits. If you take a look at the base of the trunk, you could see if your mango is grafted. |
I believe that I have blooms in the making! Those buds are looking more and more like flower buds. We'll see how this ends. If I wind up with fruit, I just won't be able to contain myself! |
If you want fruit I'd suggest a spray with a copper fungicide once the flowers elongate and again when you see pea sized fruit. |
nfmgirl, How's your mango blooms coming along? And everyone else's? My very young mango trees are all blooming...but since we still have appx. 7-8 weeks of winter here(south of Orlando), I'm afraid its going to get zapped on the next frost :o( Let's hope for a frost free winter... |
Thanks for asking! So far, so good. Last I checked this weekend, they were getting bigger. We'll see what happens. If it results in a bunch of great-tasting fruit, I just wouldn't know how to contain myself! Heather |
Heather, Thanks for posting those pictures!! Looks like you are going to have a bumper crop...doing the Mango dance for you! Here's one of my mango trees, this is a Potted Glenn mango, I also have a few young trees planted in the ground. I hope I get to taste at least "One" from this tree. |

I'm so excited!! My ice cream mango is covered in blooms, i hope to get at least one mango this year from it. My Julie mango doesn't have any flowers yet, but I did notice new growth..fingers crossed. |
Wow! Those are some BIG blooms for such a little tree! Is that a special dwarf "patio" mango? Or does it just stay small, because it is kept in a pot? I know that I have a patio orange tree that I've had about 3 or 4 years and it hasn't bloomed yet. Here's wishing the best for all of us and our mango harvests! Heather |

Hi, All you folks with small mango tree's that are blooming, would suggest that you nip the flowers off for a couple of years. I know that is extremely difficult, but you will be rewarded in spades in a few years. If you have threat of frost with small trees, I would put an old sheet or drop cloth over them. DO NOT USE PLASTIC, you will burn everything it touches if there is frost. If you have a tree that is larger but has not produced fruit, you might consider spraying it with chelated citrus nutrional spray, I am about to spray my two very large trees. A hayden and a kent. Fertilizing is good while the trees are developing , but too much on a producing tree induces lots of folliage growth. The tree needs to be slightly stressed to produce big yields. My problem is that I tend to get a monster yeild (500 lbs) and then a zippo to tiny yeild the next year. bernie, west of port st lucie |

Hi Pepa, You are extrememely lucky to find a seed that produced fruit in that time period plus be able to tolerate snow. When trees bloom and how long to fruit harvest is apparently a large range. Both my trees are in the blooming process now. The Hayden will be ready in July and the Kent in Sept. It would be real interesting to plant another seed from your tree and see if you get the same characteristics. If so, it could become a best seller or graft a limb from your current tree. Bernie |
Hi Bernie, Thanks for that tip, this potted tree I've actually had going on three years this summer. The first year I bought it, it did not flower. Last year it had a few flowers, but the fruit didn't survive...I am letting just a few develop if the tree will hold the fruit. If not, then it means the tree is not mature enough. Pepa, Beautiful tree!! I agree with Bernie...you have a special Mango tree there. If that tree survived snow! Wow, everything I have read about them is they are all frost sensitive, since they are tropical fruits. You need to take cuttings from that tree or better yet, when you get fruits, save all your seeds and try planting them all. You might just have a new variety that is cold sensitive? Do you know what type of mango variety it was that you bought? By the way did you cover your mango tree at all when it was snowing? Inquiring minds want to know, LOL... You should post that picture with your story on the |
Hi guys, Our approx. 37 year old Haden mango tree is loaded with blossoms. I think I actually saw a few tiny mangoes forming. Sheri :) |

Pepa,that looks like manila mango.I also heard that manila mango grown from seeds will produce earlier than other variety.Here in so.california manila mango produce very well and cold hardy.By the way you have a nice tree... |

It didn't take long for Brian Kozak to discover his passion for food: at the age of three, after he first tried shrimp cocktail and crème brulee, he would spend hours leafing through cookbooks and family recipes in his parents' kitchen. His fascination with food led him to build an impressive culinary resume: after graduating from Le Cordon Bleu, Brian spent four years cooking for Bon Appetit, opened his own catering company, and learned how to fold a puff pastry according to army-bed making standards. Today, he demonstrates his culinary prowess as the resident Chef at Sage Restaurant and Lounge. Kozak's influences span the globe: try the Spanish saffron paella with chorizo and shrimp, or any of six 10-inch pizzas. The dining room also has global flair, from its Tuscan yellow walls to its terra cotta tile floors.
With a name that translates to "a little of everything," it's no surprise that the seasonally changing menu of Cafe Mundial includes dishes such as steamed mussels with shallot cream sauce, duck confit, fresh pastas, and filet mignon with bordelaise sauce. In the kitchen, chefs add zesty wasabi vinaigrette to seared ahi-tuna appetizers and top personal pizzas with goat cheese, fresh basil, and monogrammed sun-dried tomatoes. The extensive wine list includes crisp California chardonnays, bold cabernets, and sparkling pours to pair with dinner entrees or new ties. Diners may opt to slide into a booth or jump onto stools at the full bar to watch sports or cheer on bartenders during martini preparation.
Silk Lounge mixes nature and culture with its sleek yet cozy ambience, spacious patio, carefully crafted libations, and nightly entertainment. Guests seeking solace may retreat to a private booth to puff on a fine cigar ($8+), and revelers seeking a pleasant campfire vibe without rubbing two guitars together until they burst into flames can enjoy company at the patio's fire pit. Meanwhile, more than 20 varieties of single-malt scotch rest on hand to warm bellies, including an Auchentoshan old enough to drink itself (premium drinks are $12). A range of unique Chinese and Japanese wines can greet the tongue ($9 per glass), and a cool beer ($5) crisply complements an appetizer of chicken wings or calamari ($12+).
8Eightyeight Cigar Merchants serves delectable libations and cultivates cigar-chomping camaraderie within a private facility that fuses elements of a cigar lounge, pool hall, and sports bar. The club's massive walk-in humidor houses brand-name cigars for members to puff away on while monitoring news and sports such as pay-per-view UFC fights on a cluster of flat-screen TVs arranged in front of comfy leather chairs or while shooting pool within the white-brick billiards room. In addition to members-only cigar and alcohol tastings, 8Eightyeight Cigar Merchants hosts a plentitude of private fundraisers, corporate events, and parties for Groucho Marx enthusiasts.
Cantina Lounge accommodates a sensory feast of traditional Mexican cuisine, televised sports, and DJ entertainment under one lively roof. Slide into a secluded booth with friends and compare designer swim goggles under the sleek backdrop of dark etched wood, moody candles, and distressed steel. Tongue-tingling margaritas pair finely with intrepid fusion tastes, such as the mini Shanghai tacos—four corn tortillas steaming with Asian-infused carne asada, mexican and sesame slaws, lime, and queso fresco ($7.99). Furnish empty tables with the torta sandwiches, which tower with select meats, garnishes, guacamole, and sides of beer-battered fries ($12.99), or complement star-spangled bibs with patriotic sauce dollops from the baby-back ribs ($11.99 or $18.99 each).
With a name that salutes the community centers that filled Rio de Janeiro in the 19th century, Boteco beckons all walks of life to eat and drink at its contemporary wooden bartop and sleek, square tables. Historically, these centers incorporated the region's diverse array of northern European, Mediterranean, and Arabian cuisines, and Boteco continues this tradition.
In addition to crisping pizzas made from locally sourced ingredients, the chefs simmer pots of Portuguese stew with cod and potatoes, and arrange sizzling sirloin next to rice, black beans, Brazilian pico de gallo, and caramelized plantains. The chefs also use tiny kitchen tools to construct small bites of tapas and appetizers, all while bartenders whet whistles and other woodwind instruments with 50 domestic and imported craft beers alongside wines and mixed drinks.

Raising an Effective Voice in Representing Our Communities
Ed. Note: Champions of Change is a weekly initiative to highlight Americans who are making an impact in their communities and helping our country rise to meet the many challenges of the 21st century.
My visit to the White House proved to be one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. Recently, I was honored as a White House Champion of change. Being able to be part of an inspiring and empowering discussion amongst other community leaders, and White House administrators, proved to me that there are others committed progressing this great nation forward.
After the initial discussion, it became obvious that to operate on a national framework, it all begins at the local level-in our communities. As leaders, we have to understand and know the people who comprise where we live, serve the interests of the people are who in most need, and execute an appropriate plan of action.
As a student at the University of Southern California, and resident of Los Angeles, some my passions include: immigration, education policy reform and social change. Currently I am involved in an organization on campus known as Chicanos for Progressive Education (CPE). The high schools CPE visits are neighboring schools in the South Los Angeles area that have low retention rates, are overcrowded and underfunded. These are not just characteristics of a school, but walls that prevent students from having access to the necessary resources that will encourage them to succeed. We foster the idea of a higher education whether it be: Community College, Cal-State schools, UC's or private institutions.
Also, this spring I was able to take part in the annual Sustainability Summit in partnership with the Los Angeles Business Council where the USC program for Environmental and Regional Equity headed by Dr. Manuel Pastor presented on Multifamily Rooftop Solar and Social Equity in Los Angeles. Among the issues of discussion were if solar investment in multi-family housing could occur in distressed neighborhoods. The data showed that many low-income renters currently live in high-solar potential neighborhoods and could relieve the cost of utilities significantly. It has been all part of an effort in creating a market for many of the residents of Los Angeles, especially in lower-income communities. Lastly, I will present my senior honors thesis next spring in American Studies and Ethnicity on the case study of Gardeners in Los Angeles.
Being the son of immigrant parents from Mexico, and having my father be part of this labor force-I am interested in looking at undocumented healthcare in Los Angeles, and the different modes which are sought after for quality care here in Los Angeles. Also, social networks of gardeners, entrepreneurship, and generational progress between gardeners and their children. Through my research I hope it may to bring to light many of the negative misconceptions of our nation's immigrants. As a White House Champion of Change, it has made me believe that we all, as Americans, have the potential to be an effective voice in representing our residents and communities equally, and pass down knowledge to the future generations of America.
David Horacio Hernandez is a junior at the University of Southern California and a member of Chicanos for Progressive Education, an organization that encourages students in inner city schools to pursue higher education.

I just moved to a new home in San Juan Capistrano in OC about a mile from the ocean. I love avocados and want to plant at least one tree. I need to make a choice between 3 different kinds but I am so confused! I don't want a tree that is going to become so huge that I have to spend a lot of time pruning. Which one would you choose?
Reed or Haas or Dwarf Holiday? How tall & wide does each tree grow? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I live in north Orange County. I too was concerned about size so I planted a Gwen avocado about 12 years ago. Gwen is a semi-dwarf variety that has topped out at about 13-15' high. I keep the diameter spread to about 7' with minor pruning. Gwen is similar in appearance, taste and texture to Hass, but slightly larger and it remains green when ripe. The tree produces well and last year I had to give some of the fruit away to friends. - Mike |
- Posted by still_kris z17 NoCA (My Page) on Wed, Aug 6, 08 at 12:10
In my opinion, Fuerte is the best tasting avocado. Only reason it isn't seen in the stores anymore is that the Haas and its leathery skin make it a better shipper and the fact that Haas bears every year as opposed alternate years as does the Fuerte, but the texture and taste of the Haas simply can't measure up to the Fuerte. Have never seen avocados (except for the Bacon) larger than the beautiful Fuertes which grew in my backyard in Long Beach. My father had to do the graft several times before it took and he never lived to see the tree bear. |
- Posted by hosenemesis SoCal Sunset 19 USDA (My Page) on Wed, Aug 6, 08 at 23:22
Hass. At least in my yard, the Hass produces. We ripped out the Fuerte after five unproductive years. I don't like Reed, and I have never tried Dwarf Holiday, but I agree with the others that Gwen, Fuerte and Hass are the best tasting avos still in production. |

Arsenal midfielder AbouDiaby has picked up a hip injury and consequently, he missed the Community Shield game for Arsenal. The report was published by ESPN who picked up this story from the French source L'Equipe.
Diaby has become very injury prone for the last few seasons and the player claimed last summer that he was considering an early retirement.
He had told The Mirror: "Sometimes it [retiring] crossed my mind – but my love of football is so big that I just couldn't quit.
"I am still young, and now that I have an opportunity to play again I want to take it. I try to be positive all the time and that has helped me to come back.
The 28 year old has not played much in the last three seasons of the Premier League due to successive injuries. He missed the 2013-14 season due to a knee injury.
Diaby took part in Arsenal's pre-season campaign where he played one half against the New York Red Bulls. He felt back pain throughout the game. Reports claim that the player has a swollen tendon on his left hip.

The Mercedes-Benz Geländewagen ("overland vehicle"), which hardly has changed since it was launched thirty years ago, is further proof that few vehicles are as enduringly popular as a squared-off, utilitarian, military-esque four-by-four. Witness the long and very successful run of the original Jeep Cherokee; the evergreen appeal of the Land Rover Defender, which, sadly, is no longer sold here; and the demand for the original FJ40 Toyota Land Cruiser. Clearly, people view these sorts of vehicles as the real thing, and they speak to our desires for adventure. They also are a welcome break from the modern landscape of aerodynamically optimized crossover vehicles that all look the same after a while.
The G550 also speaks to Americans' desires for prestige, from its pie-plate-sized front star badge to the shiny, blue-lit "Mercedes-Benz" scuff plates. It's amazing how Mercedes managed to line the previously Spartan G-wagen with a fully modern Mercedes interior; anyone who has driven a new Mercedes in the past fifteen years will immediately be at home in this luxurious cabin, as everything will be familiar.
There are, of course, some compromises, no matter how much wood and leather is stuffed into the G550's cabin. The weird buttons for inflating seat-lumbar bladders get in the way every time you try to fasten your seatbelt. There's surprisingly little rear-seat room for such a big vehicle. The slow-acting, recirculating-ball steering is either endearingly retro or annoying, depending on your viewpoint. The door handles are difficult to operate, and the doors are difficult to close completely once you're inside the cabin.
All of this, of course, is part of the G550's charm, as are the bolt-upright windshield; the huge, side-hinged rear cargo door; and, of course, the vehicle's legendary off-roading abilities, which I did not have an opportunity to explore this time but which I've experienced in previous G-wagens I've driven.
What's perhaps most amazing about the G550 is how fast the darn thing is. This is thanks to a new-for-2009 V-8, which replaced the previous 292-hp, 5.0-liter SOHC V-8. Now the G-wagen gets the same modern 5.5-liter V-8 that proliferates across the Mercedes lineup. Its 382 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque are more than sufficient to propel the G550 with amazing rapidity, and if you really dig into the accelerator, there's an intoxicating exhaust growl.
As for fuel economy? Surely you don't care, but I achieved about 13 mpg on a 400-mile freeway trip, driving between 75 and 80 mph.

They both are made of the same material. The differences are in the details (pocket placement for example). From a warmth stand point, they should be comparable to one another.

Former Circle association president takes on new role
Date: September 16, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Cheryl Whitten resigned from her role as president of the St. Armands Circle Association Tuesday, Sept. 15, at the group's monthly membership meeting. But she didn't say goodbye. She has now assumed a paid position as assistant for the St. Armands Circle Association.
Andrew Vac, former vice president of the association and broker/owner of Re/Max Excellence, is the new president.
Whitten sold her St. Armands ice-cream store, ScoopDaddy's, in April, but continued to serve as president of the association.
"Fortunately, it is a win-win situation," Whitten said. "I have gone full circle."

The interior of the 7-series is gorgeous, but it feels like too many different technologies are in play here. There is a button for nearly every function the car could possibly perform, and then there's iDrive (which made its original debut in this car and still seems to be the least intuitive version). It took longer for me to program the BMW's navigation system than in any vehicle I've tested! The car's interior styling did age well. However, I'd much rather be in the newer Mercedes-Benz S-Class, which has even better materials. And the front seat of a 7-series is a bit more claustrophobic than in the S-Class, perhaps because of all the gadgets.
The V-12 does perform magnificently. Super smooth, super (almost too) quiet. On the road, this car absorbs every bump/pavement crack/crater thrown at it. Like Amy, I found gas mileage to be incredibly poor during a quick trip to Novi.

Lauren Mulhern was one of three Rams to advance to the second round of the ITA Region Championships |
Oct. 13, 2011
By Amanda Bader
Athletic Media Relations
LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- The Colorado State women's tennis team concluded Day 1 of the ITA Mountain Region Championships at the Fretitta Tennis complex, advancing three players to the second round of singles.
Playing late into the night on the UNLV campus Wednesday, the Rams advanced three players past the first round of 120 players from around the region, but saw all three drop their matches in the second round.
"Three out of five players won their first-round matches," said Head Coach Jon Messick. " Then we lost all three of those, which was hard but I think we still played pretty competitive tennis."
Tori Arneson, Lauren Mulhern and Natalie Heffron were the three players from Colorado State to move ahead past the first round.
Arneson defeated Michelle Warwick of Weber State after dropping just one game in the first set, 6-1, and then battling out a tie-breaking second, 7-6. Arneson then advanced to the second round against Kristina Voytsekhovich of Utah State, but fell 6-3, 6-1.
Mulhern faced Kelsie Craig of Brigham Young, dropping just three games in the match, 6-0, 6-3. The victory pressed Mulhern into the second round to play against Melissa Cecil of Air Force. Cecil defeated Mulhern in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2.
Natalie notched her seventh win of the fall season against seeded Manuela Pietzuch of Boise State, 6-2, 6-4. Along with the two other Rams who won their first set, Heffron advanced into the second round.
"Natalie's loss was particularly hard because she beat a seeded player in the first round and then fell in three sets to an Idaho player in the second round," said Messick.
In the second round of singles play Heffron fell to Almudena Sanz of Idaho in a close third-set deciding match, 6-4, 6-7, 6-3.
Colorado State will return to play Thursday in order to compete in a second round of singles followed by two rounds of doubles. If the Rams advance in singles there will be a final singles round to close out the day. Each player is ensured at least two matches in both doubles and singles.
Wednesday's results
Round 1 Singles:
Tori Arneson (17-24) (CSU) def. Michelle Warwick (WSU) 6-1, 7-6

Hannah Stone (NAU) def. Kaley Schultz (CSU) 6-4, 7-6
Caroline Schnell (DU) def. Lauren Pick (CSU) 6-0, 6-0

Backup storage requiring multiple tapes
Or is the problem that it doesn't recognize the tape left in the backup unit? You say once the tape is in, it requests a new tape. When is the tape put in? How long does this take? I'm assuming that backup must start before the message occurs, otherwise, you'd see it earlier in the day when inserting the tape and change the tape.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I always thought that it was Hemingway that said You Can't Go Home Again, but I guess I was wrong, the quote is attributed to Thomas Wolfe. Okay Silent Hill is no literary work, but it is an icon in video games, especially the survival horror genre. Silent Hill: Homecoming is actually the sixth Silent Hill game, the first came out on Playstation back in 1999. Silent Hill creeped the heck out of me, as did Silent Hill 2 for Playstation 2. I still found a certain degree of creepiness in Silent Hill 3, however, I didn't play The Room or Silent Hill Origins. Like its predecessors Homecoming is a 3rd person survival horror game. Silent Hill: Homecoming proves the saying you can't go home again in more ways than one. First of course is the story of the game. You play the protagonist Alex Sheperd, who goes back home to visit his family in Sheperd's Glen, a town near Silent Hill. Alex was a war vet, and after a brief stay in the hospital was discharged. His father was the sheriff of Sheperd's Glen. However upon returning home, Alex finds his little brother Joshua missing, his mother nearly catatonic and his father is out looking for Joshua. The town itself is almost deserted, and it seems many of the roads are in major disrepair. Moreover, there is something pretty strange going on here, that seems to correlate to the nightmares you've been having (and get to play through at the start of the game). You must locate your brother Joshua and find out what has happened to your home town. It helps if you avoid getting killed by the new nightmare creatures that seem to now hang out everywhere. Game PlayYes, this is the Silent Hill you know and love. Somber tones mark any click of your controllers, haunting atmospheric music permeates your room, and creatures from the depths of hell and one fiendish imagination return to cause your character greivous bodily harm. Evil Nurses? Yes, they are back with scalpels in hand. Morbid creatures? Yes, you will face creatures that blow deadly smog, creatures that look like upside down humans crabwalking on machete arms and legs, and other creatures that look like deadly pendulums on feet. The game is still not for the timid. Of course for each location you visit, once you find the map, you can see where you've gone, what doors are locked, where the secret passages are and where you can venture further. Luckily for Alex, your protagonist, an array of weapons becomes available from the simple lead pipe to a 12 guage shotgun. Of course, only weaker weapons are available at first, but soon you get better weapons, including a fire axe handy for chopping down doors and adversaries. Health potions and ammo are few and far between, however photos from the past and disturbing child's drawings may be found to unlock things. A few puzzles here and there must also be solved to move forward. Like earlier Silent Hill games weird strange stuff is going on. Your world vacillates from the run down town of Sheperd's Glen with rusted out metal, rotted wood, and locked doors to a freakish nightmare version of the town. The nightmare version of the town seems to have been dipped in blood. Of course if you have played previous Silent Hill games none of this is new to you. A scary unpleasant story line opens up as well as you guide your character through the game in which you find out secrets that were probably better off buried. Many horrible and evil things have happened in the town, and the sins of the fathers are apparently visiting in droves. However, as I stated, the phrase You can't go home again, has two meanings here. The first time I played Silent Hill it scared the heck out of me. Even the sequel Silent Hill 2 gave me shivers up and down my spine. However by the time they got to 3, I just wasn't scared any more. In video game towns, even those that are as scary as Silent Hill, there are only so many ways to die. Homecoming tries to scare you with unearthly creatures, eery music, disturbing images and sudden attacks. However, after a while, you just expect all of that, and if and when you die, you just hit the continue button and start from the last check point or saved game. More of the same just doesn't do it any more. Even a passing glimpse of Pyramid Head (named the bogey man for some inexplicable reason in this game) may send chills, but doesn't quite recreate that horrible sense of dread the first time he made his appearance. GraphicsSince this is the first Silent Hill on PS3, I have to say the graphics look much better than Silent Hills on PS and PS2, however, I felt that they were a notch below the graphics of other titles on the PS3. Everything is shades of grey with the occasional splatter of red, but it doesn't have that hyper realistic look to it that titles like GTA4 or Drakes Fortune have. You also have to deal with load screens. I was also very upset about what I believed to be a glitch in the game. We had fought our way to the Grand Hotel, and according to every online game guide and Konami Guide book after a few key scenes you are supposed to be able to drop down into a hole in the floor on the 5th floor to access a room on the fourth floor. For whatever reason, the command never appeared giving the option to do so, even after revisiting each and every room in the entire hotel that was accessible. Even an e-mail to Konami only resulted in a link to a game guide that said to do what we had already done. We ended up replaying the game again and where careful not to do anything different after the steps that led up that scene. Apparently, if something is done out of order, the option doesn't show up, but it should have. (a look on a few threads indicated that I wasn't the only one who ran into this problem). SoundThe familiar sounds are all present from the previous Silent Hill games and the title tune is catchy. The atmospheric soundscape and music of the Silent Hill series still adds much of the element of creepiness to the game, and this game was no exception in that regard. Voice acting is fine, although you don't often get to talk to many people. Game ControlsThe game controls are straight forward as they have always been. The only thing I saw added was that in key scenes you have to rapidly depress a button that appears to save yourself. I.E. if the circle button appears when you get knocked over, hit it repeatedly or you will get a cut scene in which your character suffers one of the games many brutal deaths. Otherwise, L1 brings up inventory screens, L2 allows you to lock onto enemies and R2 allows you to fire a weapon, x gives a quick attack and square gives a strong attack (but must be held for a moment longer to release it). You find certain weapons and strategies work better for certain creatures. It is easy to cycle through and switch weapons and to bring up inventory items to use. Replay ValueBeating the game may reveal one of three endings, each which results in some bonus item being available for subesquent game play. I won't be revealing any of that however. It can be fun to replay for different endings, but since it is essentially the same story, it certainly doesn't have the replay value of something like Player v. Player Halo 3 matches. SummaryThe game was fun, but it didn't give me the same visceral thrill of the original. Yea, the graphics were better, but I felt like I was just getting more of the same. My son enjoyed it more than I did, but he never played the original games, so the world of Silent Hill was new for him. For me though, Silent Hill: Homecoming shows that you can't go home again.

Clues from the past: Museum employee 'intrigued' by woman buried near home
Saturday, October 22, 2011
"I also felt like she needed to be remembered
and … honored."
Janet Gerber
Assistant director for the Museum of Northwest Colorado
On a hill some five miles west of Craig, a mystery lingers.
A group of mourners gathered here in January 1915 to lay to rest Mary Dillon, a mother, widow and invalid of nearly 30 years.
According to her obituary in The Craig Empire, Dillon's gravesite on the hill was intended to be a temporary resting place. Her body was interred there, at her request, "awaiting the time of removal to McDonald County, Mo., where the wife and mother will eventually rest beside the bodies of husband and son."
That wish was unfulfilled.
Years, then decades passed. Children grew up, then grew old. Life moved on.
But questions about Dillon's history linger, and Janet Gerber is trying to uncover the answers.
"I've always kind of been intrigued by it, that's for sure," said Gerber, assistant director for the Museum of Northwest Colorado.
Her curiosity is understandable.
The gravesite of Mary Dillon is about a 10-minute walk from her house.
Gerber has been trying to piece together Dillon's history off and on for about five years, although she's known about the gravesite for years.
The parcel where it sits used to belong to the Mosier family, she said, but has since become part of the Gerber property.
So far, Gerber's been able to determine that Dillon came to Moffat County in about 1885. By the time she came to Colorado, she had been widowed and one of her sons had died.
She lived with her daughter and son-in-law, Adaline and Samuel H. Mosier, at their home near Craig until her death. The latter assumed the title of Moffat County Sheriff the same year Dillon died.
But pieces of the picture are still missing.
Gerber doesn't know what malady Dillon suffered from that made her an invalid for nearly three decades and almost completely helpless for the three years leading up to her death.
"That's something I'm trying to find out from the family," she said, adding that she's been in contact with Dillon's descendants.
Dillon may have had as many as six children, Gerber said, but she'll have to do more research to know for certain.
Gerber hasn't even found a picture yet to see what Dillon looked like for herself.
She paused occasionally as she spoke to thumb through the file she's put together on Dillon. She glanced at newspaper clippings and printouts from www.ancestry.com, a website devoted to genealogy.
For many people, this kind of research may be laborious, even frustrating.
Not for Gerber.
"I just really like to know who people are and what they did with their life and who their families are," she said. "That's where my particular interest lies."
Although some basic details about Dillon remain a mystery, what is known about her as well as life in that era offer clues.
"Even though she was an invalid, she still had to be, I would say maybe, a strong-willed woman … just because, for one thing, people had to be fairly strong-willed to survive in the elements that they had to deal with," she said.
Dillon made her own funeral arrangements, and she chose the spot on the hill.
How her body was transported to that site may be the greatest mystery of all.
On one side, the hill rises at a steep angle that would have made for a difficult climb during a Northwest Colorado winter. The other side plunges down to a lush valley at what looks like a near-vertical drop.
"I'm really intrigued by how they got up on that hill in the middle of the wintertime, because it's extremely rough terrain," Gerber said.
She later added, "I assume that they probably would have had the gravesite ready because they knew that she was … failing.
But just to get people and the body up there — I don't know."
Nearly a century after Dillon's death, clumps of sagebrush and cacti grow around the original headstone — a small, flat rock placed upright in the ground — and a border of smaller rocks surrounds the grave.
A new headstone, purchased by the museum, marks the site.
Gerber placed the headstone recently with help from friends Jonathan, Paxton and Synthia Ritchey, as well as the oil and gas company Quicksilver Resources Inc., she said. She added that the Ritcheys, of Steamboat Springs, were interested in preserving the site and offered assistance.
If you step a few feet away, you can see the original homestead down below the hill where Dillon lived with her daughter and son-in-law. The wood is dark with age now, and it stands against a field of green where cattle graze.
"I just wanted to know about … who was she," Gerber said.
That desire isn't completely fulfilled yet. But, now, at least, there's a visible testament to Dillon's life in Moffat County.
"I also felt like she needed to be remembered and … honored," Gerber said.

I think it's great when people take interest in local history. I don't think enough has been done to preserve the history in the county, how many more marked graves are out there that people have forgotten about. Its a shame when a family legacy has ended, nothing remains of it to tell how the people lived. It is true you have to be of a different breed to have survived out here in the elements with very little, but people have done it. I like to learn what I can about the area but I have not had much luck in finding a lot. To have someone that is out there doing the research and finding the clues is amazing. I hope you find the missing pieces, good luck!!

There's more of that singature, jaw dropping art, but this time it's used to tell a much different story: Bakuman is about two artists trying to get their first manga published! Yes, seriously. Self-referential, and totally different, this manga is definitely worth checking out.

However - I have double the amount of referrers from Google Images. Twice as many than who come from Google itself.
Absolutely absurd, as I only have about 5 images other than a logo on the site.
Has anyone else seen this recently?
Very strange indeed.
the kids at myspace, xanga, and nexopia are having a field day seeing how many images they can pull of my server per second. However I have a number of images on my site.
Since I've done this I've noticed people browse the site much more.
Thanks for the frame breaker tip - do you have a script that does not disable the browser back button?
I would appreciate seeing that script also.
while my site was sandboxed prior to this update, i had been getting several referrals from google images for the past 3 months - the majority of my referrals.
now that my site has *hopefully* been taken out of the sandbox, i'm getting far more referrals from google images - and the runner-up spot has been taken by google proper.
PS. works for ask jeeves regular search too. great stuff.
As of today Yahoo has 1697 referrals, and Google Images has 1660.
It sure must make BillG proud to know that an image search engine is serving up 4 times the traffic of his search engine (to my site anyway)
Johan007, The "back" button on your browser takes you back to the previous page in your cache. Since the previous page in cache has the script you will be redirected out of the frames again. A neat trick is to hit the back button twice quickly before the script has time to load, taking you back 2 pages of course.
By the way, the reason I use the script is not because I really mind Google showing my images in their frameset.
I use it because the scraper sites (and I've identified well over a thousand!) load my pages in their pseudo search engines. So what happens is the user has their menu on top of my pages!
Not with this script BABY!
PS DamonHD, I just tried the script you posted above, works great and does allow the "back" button to function.
Think of a hotlinked image as a huge, highly targeted banner ad right in the middle of someone else's page. You only need a subtle watermark to generate nice traffic that way.
Thanks for the frame break out script - I'll give that a shot. I'm guessing that goes in the head.
Sorry for dumb question,
But can any one guide me where to put this java script code, my site having 100 pages with images, do i need to put this code on each page there.
I use images when there is requirement for Image.
Please help me.
Mann, use it on any page that has images.
Thanks for the scripts! It works fine and I also noticed that (I use a decent web counter) which has been hiding those referrals from Google Images. But what do I care? The number of folks going beyond that first page has increased dramatically.
Thanks for the script :)
Glad the script was useful; it came from right here on WW!
Yes, indeed, it does go in the head, forgot to say that.
Send your unwanted "looking for free images" visitors over to me, since that's what I provide. B^>
But are there are any practical differences between Damon and Bobby's versions?
As far as I can tell they both do exactly the same thing, but DamonHD's script allows the "back" button to take you back to the previous page in Explorer while the one I posted does not, although it does in Firefox.
If anyone is using Netscape it would be nice to know if both scripts work correctly.
Ours works well so as to even get out of Mamma's site view frames.
Google image bot hasn't visited any of our sites for a very long time.

Sparkling from every angle, this eye-catching diamond ring showcases seven round diamonds dramatically set in 18k white gold.
The diamonds are sparkly! I am very impressed. The ring size seems a little small even though I ordered the size slightly bigger 1/4 size up than my usual size but overall very happy with the quality.
Anonymous, Irvine, CA – January 2014
It arrived when predicted; quality is great and it sparks beautifully. Not a good match for my engagement ring though. Fortunately customer service and return process are Blue Nile's exceptional futures. Very convenient and pleasant buying experience.

I don't watch American Idol. For one thing, I am 59 years old, and my grandchildren don't WANT to have something to relate to me about. Second of all, as far as I am concerned, we already have an American Idol and her name is Kelly Clarkson so what are we even DOING here? Just walk away! Anyway, I guess Simon Cowell left the show because he wanted to spend more time with his silk v-neck t-shirts? And obviously we all know what happened to Paula Abdul (R.I.P. Paula! You are in heaven now, complaining to the angels about how you got fired from the Bratz movie). So this year's new judges are Ben Affleck's ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez, star of Enough, and Liv Tyler's father, Steven Tyler, who I think is a spokesman for a luxury line of full-body leather suits? Including leather face masks? I don't know, I wouldn't know, because I don't watch this show. [Insert Brian Dunkleman joke here.] Sorry, AMERICA. All of that being said, it has come to my attention that this year's 13 finalists have been selected! Congratulations to them! Let's talk about their chances in this year's competition based on exactly zero information. I don't even know what they look like much less how they sound, so this is going to be a pretty good use of all of our time!
Scotty McCreery: With his deep, soulful voice (?) Scotty is going to do pretty well in the competition, but it's going to be interesting to see if he can break out of his…shell?
Jacob Lusk: Jacob is already a real hit with female fans…probably…but can he win over…is that enough for him to…sing?
Casey Abrams: Good luck to this young competitor who could be a boy or a girl for all I know!
Paul McDonald: Paul's journey of transformation will be reminiscent of Clay Aiken, who went from golden-voiced dweeb to teenage heart throb. Or he will have a completely different journey of transformation based on wildly different preconceived notions of him of which I am unaware.
James Durbin: James Durbin will probably be eliminated in the next episode, right, you guys? That's just classic James Durbin for you.
Lauren Alaina: Lauren is going to prove to America that she's more than just a pretty face. (This assumes that she has a pretty face. Not sure.)
Pia Toscano: Pia Toscano heartfelt story about her young son…or her…sick…dad…will gain her a lot of sympathy with the audience, but ultimately this is a competition about…singing (?)…and not about who has the most compelling backstory.
Karen Rodriguez: Karen Rodriguez will win American Idol season 10.
Thia Megia: Thia has a great set of pipes on her, but will the pipes get in the way of her singing? They look heavy!
Haley Reinhart: Haley's LIVE death on-stage will shock viewers at first, but eventually people will come to realize that this is the inevitable direction of modern entertainment, and will be surprised to find how quickly they come to expect live deaths in all of their meritocratic talent-based elimination reality shows.
Ashton Jones: This good ol' boy will shed his human skin and declare the approaching invasion of highly-skilled space predators from his home planet, but will it be enough to convince the judges?!
Stefano Langone: New York's hottest American Idol contestant is Stefano. He's got everything: a full booger bar, a weaponized-dolphin tank, a Breckin Meyer poetry slam, and dog shoes.
Naima Adedapo: Who?

Do any other Monsters read the alternate reality version of Idol that exists in Richard Lawson's recaps over on Gawker? They're fantastic.
The Paul F. Tompkins recaps on Vulture are also great … I read them even though I don't watch AI because I have too much free time on my hands, apparently.
I love Paul's recaps, although at times his weariness of the task is apparent in his writing. Then again, what reasonably normal human would not grow tired of recapping every AI show?
Oh, and here's a link to the latest, for anyone interested: http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2011/03/american_idol_paul_f_tompkins_3.html
