Anyone got game in Zephyrhills, Florida?
Possibly heading down there in about a week's time or so, and will cry if I can't find someone to whap the ball around with. If you know of any good local clubs to hang out at, I'm all ears too. The winter here's killing me here, north of the 49th parallel! About a 3.5 or so, depending on how rusty I am!
Enjoy the bottled water there.
In all seriousness, you may have to drive to Tampa in order to find some tennis.
I was afraid of that...

We stayed in the apartment within this wonderful museum devoted to the owner's artist grandfather. The apartment was large, functional and simply furnished and equipped for self catering which was perfect for us. The owner Giordano was helpful, welcoming and hospitable. This place is really unique-more a home than a hotel, and if you love paintings, and old buildings, and... More

I did my first all grain a couple of weeks ago. After doing a thermometer calibration I realized the new thermos that came with the turkey fryer are off by 35'. Wholly crap no wonder I only got 62% efficiency. I guess that's not bad for missing mash temps by 35'. WTF. I'm gonna call and complain.
Fermentation may have been a greater discovery than fire." -David Rains WallaceMy Brewing Apparatus
They do make $100+ thermometers that many swear by, I however, don't have the cash. What I do to combat the problem is use 2 long stem thermometers and two floating candy thermometers. Yup that's right, 4 thermometers. All of them tend to be within 4-8 degrees of eachother. I then take an average of all of them. Definitely not the smartest idea, but I get damn near 86% on every brew.
I did a search and they make a $12 dollar certified thermo. I think I'll get one. Probably wont have it by the next time I brew so I'll just correct 35'..
Get a lab thermometer until you can afford a therma pen, they are very accurate and cheap. You will grow tire of breaking them in the mash after a while though.
I swear by my $14 Taylor waterproof digital thermometer bought from Amazon. I have dropped it in the boil kettle a bunch of times and she still works like a charm. And has stayed accurate.
I'm having good luck with my Fisher Scientific "lollypop". Only $25 on Amazon.

Same here dude! Got a thermapen on the way. Hopefully this is the end of it.

"You can't replace a legend, and it's not replacing," Gregorius said, per MLB.com. "He has been playing for a long time at shortstop and he decided to retire. The spot was open, so I'm not thinking about replacing anything. It's just me just coming in there to try to play my game.
"I'm sure they're going to compare me to Derek Jeter, but you know, nobody can play the same. What Jeter did, nobody can do that. So for me, it's just amazing to get the opportunity to play in the pinstripes."
However, one player Pentland appears really excited to work with is shortstop Didi Gregorius, who was acquired in an offseason trade with the Diamondbacks. Gregorius is set to replace legendary Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, who retired after 20 seasons in the majors.
"He's got a huge future and I'm very excited he's a Yankee," Pentland said of Gregorius, per the New York Daily News. "I've always thought there's a lot in there. We got to get it out and work it. The problem with young players, you have to be more patient.
"But I think this guy has tremendous upside."
Gregorius, who will turn 25 on Feb. 18, hasn't had a lot of success offensively at the major-league level. He has just a .243 average, .313 on-base percentage, .366 slugging percentage and .680 OPS in 191 career games. He had a .277/.332/.389/.721 slash line in 507 minor-league games.
"It's not over until it's over. We still have a full month before spring training," Steinbrenner said. "We're always going to continue to improve. I'm not putting a cap on it. We've certainly filled some holes that we had. We'll keep going for the next few weeks."
Steinbrenner said he wants to get New York back to the postseason while trying to keep the the payroll in the same range, but left the door open to perhaps target one of the top free-agent players still available. Starting pitchers Max Scherzer and James Shields are two of the top names still on the free-agent market.
"[But] having said that, we're still the New York Yankees, all you guys know that," Steinbrenner said. "We know what the fans expect. We know what the town expects. We're not going to be afraid to spend money."
"That's our hope. We don't think he's a finished product," Cashman said, per NJ.com.
Gregorius, 24, is now poised to succeed recently retired Derek Jeter at shortstop for the Yankees. The 24-year-old hit .226 with five triples, six home runs, nine doubles and 27 RBI in 80 games.
The Tigers will receive pitcher Shane Greene from the Yankees, while the Diamondbacks will land pitcher Robbie Ray and infield prospect Domingo Leyba from the Tigers. Greene, 26, registered a 3.24 ERA, a 1.39 WHIP and 81:29 K:BB ratio over 78 2/3 innings of work during his 2014 rookie campaign. Ray, 23, made nine appearances (six starts) in his first season in the majors. He finished 1-4 with a 8.16 ERA, a 1.88 WHIP and 19:11 K:BB ratio over 28 2/3 innings.
The deal would give Detroit pitcher Shane Greene and Arizona pitcher Robbie Ray.
With the retirement of Derek Jeter, Gregorius will likely take over at shortstop for the Yankees, if the deal is finalized. The 24-year-old hit .226 with five triples, six home runs, nine doubles and 27 RBI in 80 games.
Greene, 26, was a rookie last season for the Yankees. In 14 starts, he registered a 3.24 ERA, a 1.39 WHIP along with 81:29 K:BB ratio over 78 2/3 innings of work.
Ray, also a rookie last year, went 1-4 with 8.16 ERA, a 1.88 WHIP and 19:11 K:BB ratio over 28 2/3 innings.
Gregorius played at shortstop, second base and third base in 2014 for Arizona. The 24-year-old shortstop hit .226 with five triples, six home runs, nine doubles and 27 RBI in 80 games.
With his team down a run, Gregorius stepped to the plate with a man on in the eighth inning. He worked an eight-pitch at-bat, homering on a 95 mph fastball. Gregorius singled earlier in the game. He finished 2 for 5, with one run scored and two RBI.
Gregorius is 5 for 38 in August and hitless in his last 18 at-bats.
Gregorius gave his team a 5-1 lead with his fourth homer, a two-run blast in the ninth inning. He also singled and stole a base.
The second-year player has nine hits in his last 23 at-bats with two home runs.
Gregorius was 0 for 8 in his prebious three games before coming up big Wednesday, notching his first home run and steal in over a month. He has hit .232/.330/.404 with three home runs, 11 RBI and two stolen bases in 99 at-bats.
Gregorius received his first start at third base Thursday, and could see time in center. He's fielded fly balls at the position, and there's a chance the club will use him out there. Gregorius is hitting .222 in 36 at-bats.
Gregorius has been taking grounders at the position recently, but has never played third in the majors. He's hitting .222 in 36 at-bats in the majors.
The first five batters in the Diamondbacks lineup all recorded three hits Wednesday, starting with Gregorius, who was making his first career appearance at second base. He was 0 for 4 in two games before exploding Wednesday, and he should continue to see time at the new position moving forward.
Gregorious was Arizona's regular shortstop much of last season, hitting .252 with seven homers and 28 RBI in 103 games.
The club has had a tough time finding a shortstop. Ruben Tejada hasn't hit well, and the club appears to have given up on playing Wilmer Flores at the position. Gregorius is the odd man out in Arizona after the team handed to job to Chris Owings. Gregorius is hitting .303 in 178 at-bats at Triple-A.
"I just think they're both shortstops and they can't both play shortstop every day," Gibson said. "It will do them good to work around the bag from both sides. That's kind of, organizationally, what we've decided."
Gregorius has logged four appearances at second base in his minor-league career, and has yet to appear there in the majors as well. He probably doesn't have to worry too much about Ahmed taking his spot in the organization hierarchy, coming off a .236/.288/.324 season at Double-A.
"I didn't know anything about trade rumors," he told MLB.com. "I don't really go look up that stuff. I don't really care. It's not in my hands. It's in the GM's hands. I don't have to worry about that."
Kirk Gibson is not ignoring Gregorius as the team prepares to start the regular season this weekend in Australia. He will start him in one of the two games and Owings in the other.
One possibility that has reported is Didi Gregorius, who seems on the verge of being beaten out for the staring job by Chris Owings and is reportedly on the trade block. But the Diamondbacks could be looking for a starting pitcher and the Tigers already traded Doug Fister in the offseason and might not be willing to let another one go for Gregorius, who would likely be ousted when Iglesias returns.
"I'm probably going to play one of them each day," Gibson said, per MLB.com. "Not sure how I'm going to do it yet."
A team source said Tuesday the Mets continue to scout Mariners infielder Nick Franklin, as they decide whether or not Franklin can play shortstop well enough to justify his offensive potential and giving up a starting pitcher prospect for him.
Also, a source for another team told the Daily News the Mets are also monitoring the Diamondbacks' shortstop competition, and "could jump in" to make a trade for Didi Gregorius or Chris Owings before spring training ends. Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers said recently he would consider trading one of his young shortstops, ideally for a top catching prospect, which would likely be Mets catcher Kevin Plawecki.
There is also free-agent shortstop Stephen Drew, but there is no indication from Drew's agent, Scott Boras, that his client would be willing to sign a bargain-type contract.
"For us, it would have to be the right deal," general manager Kevin Towers said. "If it's right, top-notch catching prospect. Someone we could have right behind Miggy. More of an upper-level guy. Maybe a top, upper-end starter."
Owings might land a better prospect because of his offensive potential.
"Let them fight it out. We like both of them a lot," Towers said. "I love the competition in Spring Training. ... Just because Didi was there all year, I don't want him to think he's the everyday shortstop."
Gregorius hit .252/.332/.373 with seven home runs and 28 RBI in 357 at-bats with the Diamondbacks in 2013, whiel Owings hit .291/.361/.382 with no home runs and five RBI in 55 at-bats in the majors.
Gregorius will be replaced by Willie Bloomquist at short. He's hitting .261/.333/.374 in 326 at-bats.
"I'll rotate the guys somewhat," Gibson said, per The Arizona Republic. "We didn't score any runs (Friday) night, and I think Willie is probably the best shortstop we have, the most offensive. He puts the bat on the ball and allows us to do stuff."
The situation could even become more crowded if the Diamondbacks choose to bring up prospect Chris Owings, who was named MVP of the Pacific Coast League (Triple-A).
"He's earned it, and he's got a pretty good future ahead of him," Gibson said of Owings. "He's going to fit in there somewhere, sometime, some way, somehow."
Gregorius will be replaced by Cliff Pennington, who will hit eighth against lefty Tony Cingrani. Gregorius is hitting .265/.335/.379 in 298 at-bats.
Since June 8, Gregorius is batting .202 in his last 37 games, which has dropped his season average from .322 to .270.
Manager Kirk Gibson said Gregorius has worked on becoming a better hitter to all fields in 2013.
"The league made some adjustments on that," Gibson said, per The Arizona Republic. "Now, he's kind of in between. You know, 'What am I? Who am I? Am I a pull hitter? Can I hit the ball the other way?'
"Obviously, you want to be able to do both. You want to be able to read pitches and hit the ball all over the field. He's just kind of lost his swing a little bit. I think he's got a lot on his mind. He's kind of getting initiated a little bit right now."
Gregorius started the season strong by going 11 for 27 in April but has hit just .250/.338/.294 in 68 June at-bats. After hitting three homers in his first eight games, he has just one in 157 at-bats.
Gregorius was hitless in four at-bats in the first game, a 5-3 win, but made up for that in the second game. Gregorius went 2 for 4 in the second game, a 5-4 win, with a home run and a triple, both of which brought home runs. His first-inning triple brought in one run, while his home run later in the game plated two more.
Gregorius finished the day 2 for 8 with three RBI, two runs scored and one strikeout. He is batting .324 on the season, with four home runs and 14 extra-base hits in 29 games.
Gregorius has hit safely in seven of his last eight games. He's batting .387 (12 for 31) with one triple, three doubles and five RBI in that span.
The rookie shortstop has totaled 10 multi-hit games in 22 appearances and has failed to record a hit just four times this season.
Gregorius said repeated repetitions during batting practice have helped him develop chemistry no matter who his double-play partner might be.
"We always take a lot of ground balls. I just talk to them and tell them where I like the ball, ask them where they want the ball, where they prefer it in this situation and that situation," Gregorius said, per The Arizona Republic. "For me, it doesn't matter who plays second base. As long as we get good communication going, it's good."
Manager Kirk Gibson has been impressed with Gregorius' quick transition to the majors.
"He's very good at turning double plays out there," Gibson said. "He's got an electric arm. We've turned some double plays where he's put some turbo on it. He's got tools, he's got abilities, he can do a lot of things for us. It's certainly something that we need on this team."
It was his first outing with multiple extra-base hits this season and stopped a brief two-game hitless slide. He is carrying a .362 batting average and .403 on-base percentage.
Gregorius also has three home runs, three RBI, four doubles and nine runs.
The batting average is of the sort that you often see in a small number of at-bats, and Gregorius has already struck out eight times, so that mark could plummet swiftly. The power may be legitimate, though. Gregorius is not a big-time ground ball hitter, and since reaching Triple-A last season, he has belted eight home runs in 216 at-bats at that level.
That, too, is a small sample, but at least there is some precedent for Gregorious showing some clout. Don't count on the rookie to hit for average or get on base, but if you can sacrifice either of those categories to get a little power from the shortstop position, Gregorius is worth a flyer in deeper leagues.
Gregorius has tallied a hit in all seven games he's played in since his promotion earlier this month for a .407 batting average. Six of his 11 hits have gone for extra bases.
Gregorius will meet with team doctors likely Sunday before determining whether he needs to take time off. If Arizona does not make a public announcement Sunday, Fantasy owners who have been relying on the hot rookie might be in a tough position when deciding whether to start him for Week 5 (April 29-May 5).
Gregorius is hitting .407 in his first seven games and is owned in 31 percent of CBSSports.com leagues. Fantasy owners might want to take him out of the starting lineup heading into the Week 5 scoring period, unless we hear good news Sunday.
However, Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said after Friday's game a stint on the seven-day disabled list has not been ruled out for Gregorius. Gregorius told reporters that his CT scan came out fine, but is still dealing with some soreness. The rookie was replaced at short by Cliff Pennington Saturday.
While he has a solid pedigree as a top prospect, Gregorius has never been known for his power. Even when he jumped up to No. 80 on Baseball America's prospect ranking list this offseason, he was coming off a seven-homer season, matching his career high. He did hit six of those home runs in just 48 games, but still does not look like a guy who is going to make his name as a power hitter.
Gregorius is projected to develop into the type of hitter who can power 10-15 home runs into the seats per year, but do not be fooled by this hot start. He is probably still more of an NL-only Fantasy option.
"He sees the ball well," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said Sunday. "He has a real good approach with two outs. He's a tough out. He doesn't surprise me. We thought a lot of him obviously."
Gregorius, acquired from Cincinnati as part of a three-team trade last December, has spent two games in the No. 7 spot of the batting order and one in the eight-hole. Both of his homers have accounted for his only RBI thus far.
"I am battling every at-bat," he said. "I work each day to prepare for every game. I never give up."
Granted, it's a small sample size, so perhaps it's best not to put a lot of stock into Gregorius' numbers, which is the point I'm trying to make. I know Gregorius was tearing the cover off the ball at Triple-A before his promotion to the majors and came into the year as a top 100 prospect by both Baseball America (No. 80) and MLB.com (No. 63), but that was largely because of his slick defensive skills. It wasn't because Gregorius was chewing up minor-league pitching. His career slash line in the minors is .267/.319/.375/.694.
I agree with my colleague, Nando Di Fino, who wrote on April 16 Gregorius is more of an NL-only Fantasy play.
Gregorius should see much of the playing time at shortstop for the Diamondbacks while second baseman Aaron Hill remains out.
"We've kind of been real cautious with him," Towers said.
For now, the Diamondbacks can play Eric Chavez at third, Cliff Pennington at shortstop and Martin Prado at second, with Gregorius serving as a backup infielder. Pennington has experience at second base as well, though, and as such we could see an infield with Prado at third base (his original position this season), Pennington at second base and Gregorius starting at shortstop.
As such, it's unclear what kind of playing time to expect from Gregorius to begin his tenure in Arizona. If Eric Chavez continues to struggle (currently hitting .200/.259/.200), Gregorius's chances of playing will surely increase.
Gregorius, 23, was Arizona's main haul from this winter's Trevor Bauer/Shin-Soo Choo deal. In 1,893 minor legaue at-bats, he has a somewhat-lackluster .267 average, with relatively little to offer in the way of power (his career high is seven home runs) or steals (he stole 20 bases once, the next-highest was 11). But Gregorius has a great glove and may actually represent an improvement in the infield defense. And with the way Pete Kozma -- who hit .236 in almost 2,500 minor league at-bats -- has become a solid every-day hitter for the Cardinals, you should not count out Gregorius, who was hitting .387 with two home runs in 31 at-bats this season (and hit .300 in a short late-season stint with the Reds last year).
This is NL-only territory, but Gregorius will offer at-bats (outside of the days Chavez plays at third), and at least has a shot to do something positive as he rides a hot streak to start. He probably wasn't called up to sit on the bench, as the Diamondbacks would have been better off leaving him with regular at-bats in the minors.
As of Friday night, the Diamondbacks have not given any indication as to why Gregorius did not make an appearance. He remains sidelined with an elbow injury until at least the middle of April.
Both players could begin rehab assignments Thursday, with Ross playing for Class A Visalia and Gregorious reporting to Triple-A Reno.
"I thought they both looked very good," Gibson said. "The big (thing) is how they feel (Thursday). Number 1, if they feel nothing, that's a good sign. If they feel a little something, it doesn't mean that they're hurt still, it just means that maybe we pushed them a little too hard."
"It's getting better and better every day, it's getting to where I want it to be," Gregorius said. "I just have to keep going forward and hopefully have no setbacks. I'm eager to play defense but I know I can't rush it. Once I get to do that, I think I'll be able to feel like myself again."
Gregorius suffered a UCL strain in his elbow early in spring training. He is on pace to return sometime in mid-April.
"He's got a lot to learn," manager Kirk Gibson told MLB.com. "But overall, he's a good kid, he listens and he worked on a lot of things while he had the opportunity to do so, and it should work out good for us in the future."
Gregorius should make his Diamondbacks' regular-season debut at some point in 2013.
"He could at the end," manager Kirk Gibson said. "He's right on schedule. We've been very cautious with him, but he's starting to throw more and he'll probably do that again [Monday]."
Gregorius is hitting .474 with two home runs and seven RBI in 19 at-bats as a pinch-hitter in Cactus League play. Gibson wants him to reach at least 50 at-bats by the time he is back at full strength.

Rangers will be without goalkeeper Cammy Bell for the Scottish Cup semi-final against Dundee United at Ibrox on Saturday.
Understudy Steve Simonsen will take his place after Bell, who was knocked out in training earlier this week, was told he could not take part in the game by the club doctor.
Under-pressure Rangers boss Ally McCoist is almost certainly without full-back Lee Wallace after he was forced out of last weekend's Ramsdens Cup final defeat to Raith Rovers with a hip problem.
Winger David Templeton and forward Andy Little last played on 12 March and are unlikely to feature against the Scottish Premiership high-fliers.
Dundee United manager Jackie McNamara will be at the side of the pitch after appealing his three-match touchline ban.
And McNamara expects to have a near fully-fit squad available for the tie with on-loan Newcastle defender Curtis Good the only absentee as he continues his rehabilitation following a hip injury.
Winger Gary Mackay-Steven is fully recovered from a recent virus while defender Keith Watson is expected to shake off a knock he suffered in last weekend's 2-0 defeat to Celtic at Tannadice.
United go into the match looking for a repeat of their previous encounter with Rangers, when they knocked them out of the same competition 14 months ago with a 3-0 victory.
Rangers v Dundee United is live on Sky Sports 2 at 12.30pm on Saturday.

Gilman's career ranged from clerking in a store to long tours of duty in the U.S House of Representatives and Senate. Although never in the front rank of politics, he associated with some of the leading Americans of his time. He was one of the three bachelor signers.
Member of a distinguished New Hampshire family and second son in a family of eight, Nicholas Gilman was born at Exeter in 1755. He received his education in local schools and worked at his father's general store. When the War for Independence began, he enlisted in the New Hampshire element of the Continental Army, soon won a captaincy, and served throughout the war.
Gilman returned home, again helped his father in the store, and immersed himself in politics. In the period 1786-88 he sat in the Continental Congress, though his attendance record was poor. In 1787 he represented New Hampshire at the Constitutional Convention. He did not arrive at Philadelphia until July 21, by which time much major business had already transpired. Never much of a debater, he made no speeches and played only a minor part in the deliberations. He did, however, serve on the committee on postponed matters. He was also active in obtaining New Hampshire's acceptance of the Constitution and in shepherding it through the Continental Congress.
Gilman later became a prominent Federalist politician. He served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1789 until 1797; and in 1793 and 1797 was a Presidential elector. He also sat in the New Hampshire legislature in the years 1795, 1802, and 1804, and in 1805-8 and 1811-14 held the office of State treasurer.
Meantime, Gilman's political philosophy had begun to drift toward the Democratic-Republicans. In 1802, when he was defeated for the U.S. Senate, President Jefferson appointed him as a bankruptcy commissioner, and 2 years later as a Democratic-Republican he won election to the U.S. Senate. He was still sitting there when he passed away at Philadelphia, while on his way home from the Nation's Capital, in 1814 at the age of 58. He is interred at the Winter Street Cemetery at Exeter.

Tough game to be sure, shows the importance of home field advantage... hats off to the team, pretty much exceded expectations. On to the offseason, some holes to fill for sure. Could be as many as 15-20 new faces on the team including draftees. This is a partial list of players who may have played their last game as a Patriot. UFAs http://www.patscap.com/patsfreeagency.html Tully Banta-Cain, LB ? maybe Troy Brown, WR ? retire? if so, thank you #80. Heath Evans, FB ? maybe Chad Scott, CB ? I think he is signed through 2007 Daniel Graham, TE ? maybe Larry Izzo, LB ? maybe Ray Mickens, CB ? yes Patrick Pass, FB ? yes Asante Samuel, CB ? looks that way Todd Sauerbrun, P ? yes Others Dillion? Bruschi ? I don't think so
I believe we have seen the last of: Samuel (FA elsewhere) Bruschi (Retire) Brown (retire, although i think he still has it) Testaverde (Retire) Banta-Cain (who didnt even start tonight, to FA) I believe we will sign graham, but wouldnt be surprised if he went elsewhere as well.
As much as I love the guy and wish he would never go away, I think it's Coreys time to go in one fashion or another. Retire, trade if value can be had, cut if necessary. I can only assume the reason for us almost never using him in a second half this year is because of fatigue or injury. And if it's not that and actually the playcalling that (whomever is calling them) has him on the pine too often, then pay ND their 21 mil. and get Charlie back. Bruschi will retire. Troy will probably want to, but get talked out of it. (As he should be)

No. 2 Abbes one of five ranked Xavier singles players
XU freshman Nour Abbes has yet to lose a collegiate singles match.
April 16, 2014
NEW ORLEANS — Nour Abbes is No. 2, a record for a Xavier University of Louisiana women's player, in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's NAIA national rankings announced Wednesday.
Abbes is one of five ranked singles players from Xavier. Teammate Kourtney Howell is 16th, and Brion Flowers is 27th. On the men's team, Kyle Montrel is 16th, and Nikita Soifer is 29th.
Howell had been the highest-ranked Gold Nugget at No. 6 last season. But Abbes, a freshman from Tunis, Tunisia, and a graduate of Lycée Sportif d'El Menzah, reached No. 4 in the March 12 rankings. Abbes is 13-0 in singles — six victories against NCAA Division I opponents — and 11-2 in doubles.
In the NAIA national doubles rankings, Howell and Flowers are fifth, and Montrel and Soifer are 20th.
In the ITA's South region singles rankings, Abbes is second, Howell ninth and Flowers 16th. Montrel is fifth among men in the South, and Soifer is 13th.
Howell and Flowers are fourth in the South in doubles, and Montrel and Soifer are seventh.
Howell is a senior from Cypress, Texas, and a graduate of Cypress Woods High School. Flowers is a sophomore from Lafayette, La. (St. Thomas More), Montrel is a sophomore from Atlanta (Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy), and Soifer is a junior from Beer Sheva, Israel (Hof Hasharon).
The Gold Nuggets' next dual will be April 25 in the NAIA Unaffiliated Group 2 Tournament in New Orleans. Pairings and times will be announced next week. The Gold Rush will play the University of New Orleans at 3 p.m. Thursday at XU Tennis Center. Day and venue of that dual were moved.
The Xavier Gold Rush and Gold Nuggets compete in Division I of the
(National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) as a member of the
Gulf Coast Athletic Conference
(GCAC). Xavier fields men's teams in basketball, cross country, tennis and track and field and women's teams in basketball, cross country, tennis, track and field and volleyball.

At Novica, the mission is simple… Spread Happiness. They strive to create happy artisans by providing fair prices, no binding contracts and the opportunity to build a sustainable business with their craft. Novica also creates happy customers by unique gifts at great prices. They connect with artists and craftsmen around the world to bring together an amazing collection from jewelry to home decor to amazing sweaters and apparel. You can read more about their mission and their process here.
Each gift comes gift wrapped… for FREE! That's right! The wrapping you see in the photos above comes standard! Some items are wrapped with materials from and in the style of their native country. You can also pay a little more for deluxe gift wrapping if you want something a little more special. This is a HUGE time saver during the busy holiday season.
Each item also comes with a booklet that tells you a little about the piece you receive and a message from the artisan. On the website you can find more detailed profiles for each and every artist and craftsman. It makes the whole buying and receiving process that much more personal.
The team at Novica was kind enough to send me some of their beautiful products to experience the buying process myself. I could not be happier. After ordering, my items were shipping quickly and arrived in no time. They were so beautifully wrapped. These were a treat for myself after a very tough month, and it was so fun to open each package.
First up, these beautiful Sterling Silver Minimalist Square Hoop Earrings from an artist named Pichaya in Thailand. Her silver jewelry ranges in style from very sleek and elegant (like these earrings) to more ornate and traditional. I really needed something classic since I don't have much silver in my jewelry collection, but these were also very tempting. See more of her work here.
Next… more jewelry. These Unakite and Jasper Beaded Bracelets are from an artist named Tiraphan Hasub. Each one is beaded by hand by the artist and the closure is the tiniest brass bell. She has so many gorgeous beaded bracelets in her collection and it was very difficult to choose just one set. They would look awesome mixed and matched and stacked.
Last but certainly not least, this Pig Cream & Sugar Set might be my favorite thing ever. It celebrates the traditional art celadon ceramic glazing in a really fun and contemporary way. The soft green color and fine cracks in the surface of the glaze is unique to this process. Of course when we have guests they will be integrated into our breakfast table, but for now I think I'll probably use them as little bud vases in the kitchen. Find more ceramic pieces by Duangkamol here. I'm smitten with this pair of celadon horse ornaments right now.
To get your holiday shopping off on the right foot this month, Novica is offering one lucky reader a chance to win $75 for Novica. Get yourself some beautiful holiday decor or a great serving piece for your christmas feast. Or get some beautiful gifts for someone on your list.

We see many films in a year in theatre and online, my partner and I have deep love of film. Cloud Atlas is one to cherish it is refreshing and dynamic. Of all the films seen in the last twelve months this was one of the most memorable.
I'm not a film critic, don't claim any deep underlying intuition of sub-plots, etc. I go to the movies for escape and entertainment. This was a winner. My wife and I were kept on our toes connecting the dots, loved the multiple character roles of the various actors and yes, we are all connected in many ways, most of which we are unaware of throughout our lives. Perhaps in the next one...
Terrific interwoven buildup of separate plots that coagulates wonderfully in the end. It was long but well worth the trip. It was one of the better movies that I have seen so far this year.
A wonderfully coagulating interwoven build-up? I am sold.
If these stories coagulate in your brain,
then be careful less you end up with a stroke. ;(
I have not read the book but thoroughly enjoyed the film.
I mean it's all very middle-brow and flashy, but nothing wrong with that now and again.
There is a constant chorus that Hollywood does not give us interesting films, all we get are endless comic book sequels, then a different type of blockbuster arrives and everyone is ready to bury it on day one.
It's a pity more people won't see this film, it's certainly not for everyone but I think it has an audience.
I just wanted to stick up for the film. I read the book too many years ago to really remember all the sub-stories, but I do remember that I enjoyed it and have often though of re-reading it. So I had reasonably high expectations for the film. Well, when I did see the film the 3 hours went by in a flash. I thought the whole thing tied up as neatly as could reasonably have been expected and I was glad, for once, that I'd been credited with some intelligence as a viewer and that they hadn't too obviously spoon-fed the links I was supposed to make. My wife, who hadn't read the book, also enjoyed it. All said I think I'll make some popcorn and watch it again when it comes out for download on iTunes. Final thought - I thought the geriatric home farce was great and Broadbent stole the movie for me. It was funny and tragic at the same time and tenderly treated by the filmmakers and cast. Interesting given the high-profile talent in the other sub-stories and the $$$ spent on cgi/makeup/sets. I guess there's something to learn from that too.
I read the novel last year, after reading about the filming of the movie in a New Yorker article. The problem pointed out in the last line of this post was something I felt about the book itself. At the end of the day, the stories themselves are not that great, given the amount of hype around the novel. "Everyone is connected" is frankly a rather facile sort of message to get after plowing through 500+ pages.
I read the book, but didn't get it finished before they pulled the movie out of the theaters. Now, I'll need to wait until it comes to disc. I think, sometimes, a book is considered great, not just for the story, but the way it is told. The writing was absolutely fantastic and made up for any shortcomings in the plot line or underlying message.
A similarly un-filmable novel was Michael Cunningham's THE HOURS, criss-crossing through generations the lives of 1920's Virginia Woolf's last living day-1950s housewife --and a contemporary feminist lesbian dealing with a dying lover.
It succeeded: an admirable film directed by Stephen Daldry and winning Best Actress Oscar for Nicole Kidman with remarkable makeup prosthetics.
The Hours was a high quality drama;
The Cloud Atlas is more of a spendy Sci-Fi, CGI and Make-up technical film.
No amount of special effects will compensate for a poor plot, poor direction and poor editing.

Interview with Turkey's Abdullah Gul: Egypt should embrace secularism
In an interview, Turkey's President Abdullah Gul says that Egypt should embrace secularism based on a 'respect for all faiths;' that Russia's role in ending violence in Syria is key and Moscow needs to be engaged to act constructively; and that economic power in the world is shifting.
Khalil Hamra; Nasser Nasser/AP/file
Abdullah Gul is the president of Turkey. He was interviewed by Global Viewpoint Network editor Nathan Gardels during his visit to the United States for the NATO summit in Chicago earlier this month.
Nathan Gardels: Due to the rapid rise of the emerging powers, American-led Globalization 1.0 is yielding to a new era – Globalization 2.0 – characterized by "non-Western modernity" and the interdependence of plural identities. The two fastest-growing economies in the world are China, which is reviving some of its old Confucian ways as it prospers, and Turkey, a secular state ruled by an Islamic-oriented party.
How do you see this evolving world looking out from the old Ottoman Empire?
Abdullah Gul: What we are seeing today is a circle completing itself. A couple of centuries ago, China was the most important economy in the world. Then the industrial revolution came and England moved forward, followed by the United States. Now, once again, the center of economic gravity in the world is going back to where it was. More wealth is being spread around to others. We live in a plural world with many power centers. Identities can no longer be prioritized as "Western" or "Islamic" or "Chinese."

Buford High School made a clean hardwood sweep in Conference III-A basketball play Saturday in the BHS gym.
The Jackets took two from McBee, winning 55-46 in the girls' game and 62-50 in the nightcap.
The Jackets finished strong for the 12-point win over the Panthers.
Buford held a 27-15 edge at the break, but McBee used a 13-4 run to open the second half to make it a 31-28 game.
BHS, 7-14, 4-6, took a 35-30 lead after three periods and cruised to the win.
The decision to offer Chester High's Kody Clack a baseball scholarship probably wasn't a difficult one for USC-Lancaster coaches. Deciding where to play him once he gets on campus might be, though.
Clack signed with the Lancers on Wednesday.
During his time as a Cyclone, one of Clack's strengths has been his versatility.
"Kody is a great player with great instincts. He's played every position for us," said Chester coach Dennis Jensen.
A trio of Lancaster County prep football coaches predict an Indianapolis Colts' win tonight in Super Bowl XLIV in Miami.
Buford's Mike Wells, The Lancaster News' Coach of the Year for the 2009 high school football season, is calling for a Colts' win along with Lancaster High School coach Bennie McMurray and Mike Mayer, the Indian Land head football coach.
AJ's Elmer Bench is forecasting a Saints' upset in New Orleans' first-ever visit to the Super Bowl.
Ridge View snapped Lancaster's 10-game winning streak, taking an 81-64 win over the visiting Bruins on Friday night.
The Blazers' 17-point win gave RVHS a sweep of the Region IV-AAAA twin bill.
The loss also evened the region boys race with each team sporting a 6-1 record in league play.
The Blazers, 12-10, were paced by Jamie Portee's 17 points. Mike Green followed with 16. Jared Johnson hit 14 and Jamar Gillespie netted 13.
Lancaster was paced by Garrett Thompson's 18. Ron Trapps tallied 15. Sindarius Thornwell tallied 13.
The South Middle School Lady Mustangs stayed unbeaten on the basketball season with a road win over Great Falls on Jan. 28.
The Lady Mustangs forged a 22-15 halftime lead on the way to the 37-30 win.
Phoebe Johnson led the Lady Mustangs with 15. Aliyah Davis netted eight and Shareese Ross added seven points. Kenyatta Robertson finished with five.
Kaela Robinson added two points.
The South boys completed the sweep with a 41-33 win over the Devils.
The University of South Carolina at Lancaster launches its second season of baseball Saturday with a twin bill at the LHS baseball field.
The Lancers host New River Community College at 1 p.m., with game two set for 3 p.m. The Lancers host two games Sunday, with the opener set for noon. USCL continues play Monday when it travels to Gaffney to face the Limestone junior varsity in a twin bill which opens at 2 p.m.
USCL, 16-32 last spring, is led by second-year head coach Steve Williams.
The rainy weather aside, Friday was a beautiful day in the eyes of Lancaster High School football star Darius Robinson.
Robinson sported a familiar wide smile as he entered the Lancaster High School conference room where his mother, Debora Robinson, and grandmother, Rosie, were waiting with equally big grins Friday morning.
Robinson's happy day was highlighted with a special moment, signing to play college football at Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte.
Former Lancaster High School and Post 31 American Legion baseball standout Marc Rape will launch his Wingate University baseball career today when the Bulldogs open their 2010 home schedule.
Rape, a right-hander, is slated to be on the mound when the Bulldogs face Limestone at 2 p.m. in the Wingate home opener.
Rape helped Spartanburg Methodist College advance to the 2009 NJCAA World Series. The Pioneers finished the 2009 campaign with a 55-9 overall record and a No. 5 finish in the JUCO series.
The fourth-ranked Lancaster Bruins achieved their January goal and now are focusing on another lofty mark.
"Our goal for January was to go unbeaten," said Bruins' fifth-year head coach Ricardo Priester.
The Bruins 16-3, 5-0, went 8-0 for January, boosted by a landmark win to cap LHS's December schedule.
"A key game in our basketball season was our win in the final game of the 'Sweet 16' holiday tournament at Orangeburg-Wilkinson High School," Priester said.
BUFORD Buford used clutch play down the stretch to notch a season's hoops sweep of Conference III-A foe Chesterfield High School on Tuesday night.
The Jackets, who defeated the Rams 58-49 on Jan. 12 at the CHS gym, edged Chesterfield 49-46 for a league split.
The girls game wasn't as close as the Lady Rams rolled to a 48-17 win over the Buford girls.
The nightcap was tight, with Buford prevailing with the game on the line.
Anthony Williams, who netted 11, dropped in a free throw with 15 ticks left to give the Jackets the lead for good, 47-46.

Artist Statement
Working between genres, I explore process, fleeting moments, fragility, impermanence, fragments, layers and found objects through transformation of materials. I am interested in the relationship between machine produced and hand re-made. Using sterile objects such as spools of thread, zippers or cash register tape rolls, I subvert the original functions of these items through employing various methods of cutting, drilling and stapling in the hopes of drawing more attention to their physical attributes, which can be overlooked in our everyday settings. These once previously static and sterile objects become more activated and gain more character.
The Guestbook
marget says: Incredibly unique and expressive. Use of ordinary objects manipulated into colorful and distintive pieces that make you think about, and examine their composition. Very thought provoking. The Zipper piece is magnificant but I most enjoyed the drilled pieces.

The casts of the TLC reality shows put their vivacious and raw personalities to the test. Deep country accents and trash talking from both sides filled the Atlanta Civic Center, where the show was taped. Each family clearly had a competitive nature, but it was all for a good cause on Monday. The winning clan brought in $20,000 for a charity they chose before the game.The "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" bunch played for Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders. The "Cake Boss" crew competed for the Momma Mary Foundation, a charity dedicated to creating awareness about and finding a cure for ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Comedian Steve Harvey hosted the episode. Since the premiere of "Family Feud" in 1976, the show has been one of television's most popular and enduring game shows.Honey Boo Boo's 13-year old sister, Lauryn "Pumpkin" Thompson, was starstruck. She stumbled over her words when she met Harvey, but she was able to clearly articulate "I'm Pumpkin, and I'm a huge fan" about five times.The "Cake Boss" family members ribbed Valastro several times for being such a spoiled husband -- particularly about how his mother clipped his toenails for him until he was married. Harvey picked up on this theme and kept the jokes going at Valstro's expense.Both families exhibited huge personalities. "You better redneckognize," said Honey Boo Boo in an interview with CNN before the show taping began. So who won?

UFC World podcast with Gareth A Davies: Shaq O'Neal, Dana White, Fabricio Werdum, Sara Kaufman, Hector Lombard, Elias Theodorou
On a packed UFC World podcast this week host Gareth A Davies is joined by Fabricio Werdum, who talks about his fine victory over Travis Browne, whilew Tim Kennedy and Dana White comment in the aftermath of the headliner with Michael Bisping in Quebec City.
Werdum agrees that the victory over Browne is arguably his finest performance in the UFC.
Kennedy reveals to Gareth that he broke his hand in the second round against Bisping. It was him 'not being a pussy and getting his s*** together'.
Kennedy also disclosed he was fuelled by Bisping's previous actions. "A friend of mine was spit upon, another had an illegal knee so it was good to get revenge," he said.
Dana White, meanwhile, praised Kennedy. White theorised that Bisping's wrestling and BJJ are underrated and he was surprised at how easily Kennedy dominated him on the ground. White reckoned the performance was nothing to do with his eye, or the length of time he was out of action.
Shaquille O'Neal weighs on how he persuaded White to bring a UFC event to Orlando. He also reveals that it was MMA which helped him win titles.
or on iTUNES
Elias Theodorou, TUF winner at middleweight in Quebec talks about his life and ambitions.
Theodorou said that winning TUF was "still sinking in". He aims to fight all over in the world, but in his home town "would be special". He talks about his history – how he had flown to Thailand on his own after graduation from University and that the ticket was a present from his parents. Velasquez has been so far ahead of anyone for so long. Elias' goal is to emulate Cain, he's the ultimate MMA fighter.
And Gareth catches up with Sara Kaufman, fresh from her victory over Leslie Smith, and Hector Lombard, who was in Orlando. Lombard reveals why he is much happier at welterweight.
He "didn't know about diet" before dropping divisions. He revealed he been drinking lots of soda and "didn't know how to cut properly".
Lombard said he wanted a fight quickly but everyone else has a fight. He saw Joe Silva who advised him not to rush, and that he'd have a fight in July. On the UFC World podcast, Lombard called out Stun Gun and Patrick Cote, and added that he will fight anybody no matter where they are ranked. "The more I fight, the more I get paid," he reasoned.
Kaufman, meanwhile, talks about how much the women's division has changed in 15 months, how Ronda Rousey must receive great praise for what she has acheived, and that Kaufman is plotting her way to the title. Although not yet back, Kaufman is targetting Cat Zingano. All that and much more in this week's UFC World podcast.

Calcium, Vitamin D Combat Premenstrual Ills
CHICAGO (Reuters) — A diet high in calcium and vitamin D could reduce the risk of getting premenstrual syndrome, according to a report published on Monday.
Women with an intake of vitamin D and calcium equivalent to about four servings per day of skim or low-fat milk, fortified orange juice or low-fat dairy foods such as yogurt had a "significantly lower" risk of developing premenstrual syndrome, the report from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst said.
Previous studies have shown calcium supplements helped treat the problem, but "this is the first, to our knowledge, to suggest that calcium and vitamin D may help prevent the initial development of PMS," said the report.
The study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, did not say why the combination provided a protective effect.
The report said up to 20 percent of women experience symptoms severe enough to meet the definition of premenstrual syndrome, or PMS, including anxiety, depression, headaches and abdominal cramps.
The study looked at the diets and supplement use of 1,057 women aged 27 to 44 years who reported developing PMS over the course of 10 years. The same data was compared to that taken from another group of 1,968 women who reported having no symptoms of PMS or only minimal symptoms.
"Our findings … suggest that a high intake of calcium and vitamin D may reduce the risk of PMS," the study said. While more research is needed, it is known that calcium and vitamin D may also reduce risk of osteoporosis and some cancers, so doctors may want to consider recommending the nutrients, even for younger women.

Sacramento youth services center teaches nutrition
If you're a kid on the streets, jumping from shelter to couch to doorway each night, a square meal isn't likely a part of your regular diet.
That's exactly why the young leaders at Wind Youth Services – all of them formerly homeless – put nutrition at the top of their list of health topics to teach the vulnerable teens who spend their days there.
It's also why it will be so hard for the teens to put their lessons about healthy eating into practice.
"You'll see them come in in the morning, and their breakfast is a bag of Hot Cheetos and a soda, because that is what is available on the way to get here," said Melissa Binger, manager of Wind's health program.
Homeless and near-homeless youth ages 11 to 22 come to the nonprofit's center off Del Paso Boulevard each weekday to study, shower, relax, eat a free lunch and find support services in a safe place. Six young people who once needed those services themselves now work as paid, part-time "health ambassadors," orienting newcomers to the center, connecting them with resources and giving health tips.
When a volunteer suggested they design and teach health education classes to their peers, they chose to start with nutrition.
"When you're in a not-so-safe situation, moving a lot, you eat when you can," said ambassador Kevin Johnson, 18, who has a home in Natomas now but speaks from personal experience. "The kids who come here, a lot of them don't have a lot of money. It's expensive to be healthy."
The National Coalition for the Homeless has reported that more than one in three homeless people in the U.S. are children under age 18, and that one in five children have so little food that they go to bed and wake up hungry.
The ambassadors delivered their first nutrition class on Thursday to about a dozen youths at Wind.
Johnson handed out a menu with options like Buffalo chicken wings, Doritos, string cheese and Snickers bars. He invited each student to pick an item, "And we'll prepare it for you," he said.
From the kitchen a few minutes later came bowls heaped with sugar and shortening, representing fat. Murmurs of "Eew!" and "What the?" broke out as the teens poked at the white, sticky shortening.
"What you guys are looking at is all the fats, sugar, salts and oils that are in your body after you eat those chicken wings or that bag of Doritos," Johnson said.
Stacia Alexander, 20, talked the youths through what's on a nutrition label – serving size, calories, fat, sodium – reviewing examples for a Carl's Jr. burger, a McDonald's Oreo McFlurry, Honey Nut Tasteeos cereal and triple-chocolate brownies.
Jessie Mills, 18, outlined the U.S. Department of Agriculture's 10 tips for eating on a budget.
Then she concluded class by coaching the students to make a smoothie. The teens laughed and eagerly slurped down the smoothies. They listened attentively as the ambassadors taught them.
But would the lesson change anything?
Most of the youths at Wind get food stamps, which many spend on food at gas stations, Johnson said. The ambassadors hoped their students would now consider spending food stamps on canned fruit or pre-roasted chicken. But the teens' options are severely limited.
From that spot in low-income North Sacramento, the ambassadors said the nearest supermarket, a Safeway, is 20 minutes away by light rail. The nearest small market is a 10-minute walk, but Johnson called it "expensive as hell."
"It's impossible to do it" like the ambassadors suggested, said Cody Tienken, 19, who said he spent a decade in group care and foster homes in the Central Valley and has lived on the streets of south Sacramento since last year. "What do you take for granted when you have a house? A fridge, a freezer and something to cook with."
When his April food stamps come, Tienken said, "I'll probably mostly be buying pre-made foods that don't need to be cooked: Pop Tarts, dry cereal, chips."
Johnson said he fully expects the kids at Wind to keep eating Doritos. At the end of class, his older brother Bryan, also a health ambassador, passed out a list of free food pantries around town.
If the teens do nothing more than make use of those pantries, the Johnson brothers thought, that would be good.

Benitez - Torres will get better
// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez believes Fernando Torres can get even better after watching his deadly striker score twice in a 3-2 win over West Ham. A pulsating game in East London was decided by the Spaniard's second half header with just fifteen minutes left on the clock. Torres opened the scoring in the 20th minute before West Ham's Alessandro Diamanti was fortunate to level from the penalty spot after slipping as he struck the ball. Dirk Kuyt put Liverpool back in front four minutes before the break only for Carlton Cole to equalise for a second time on the stroke of half-time. It was, though, Torres who had the final say and at the end of the game Benitez had nothing but praise for his compatriot. "If he continues to play like he did today, he can be one of the best," said Benitez. "When you talk about the Premier League you talk about a lot of players with quality so it is not easy to pick just one, but he is among the best. Improving"He is a very good player and it is easy to see his qualities. If he is keen to learn, he will improve. "He is a very good player and hopefully he will be better in the future. "I was really pleased with him in the Champions League game in midweek. He didn't score but he created chances and space for his team-mates and worked very hard. "Today he was a threat and that means the rest of the team can work in a different way. "He is now fit and we are working hard with him to prevent injuries. If he cannot play one or two games, we have Kuyt or Ryan Babel who can score goals. "Hopefully he won't be injured and he can score a lot of goals for us but we have different options. "We were in control of the game and the reaction of the team was very positive. I could see that Kuyt was tired and Ryan was really good. His pace was crucial for us and the key at the end."

Ok, I didn't saw that for now. Should have a closer look to the profiles. > You'd have to chat with Thomas Pegg and Jamie Bennett to see if your > scripts could be useful to them. Sorry, I'm a bit outdated and chat is not my issue. > Note also that the official profiles are broken up into > <stage>s and <package>s, etc. and may be more complex than a > script-generated profile. I don't generate just one profile. I looked at the official profiles and I also generate profiles for each chapter with different stages, all dynamic as senseful for the specific chapter. Additional the script generates 2 entity-files, to enable entity-resolution from profile-instructions, download-locations, and so on. Finally there's an xml-entry-file, containing the references to the profiles, based on a personal package-selection (only useful for blfs), sorted by dependency tracking and included cecking for already installed packages, with comments on probably useful rebuild. I agree, that the profiles are no trivial stuff, but I think (or better said: it was my intention), the generated profiles are very close to the official ones. But ok, if you have information in the profiles not included in the book, ... Cheers Reinhard
