In a time of economic distress, with the lowest labor participation rate in 35 years, the Obama government has decided to force Hobby Lobby to provide contraceptive coverage for its employees that include drugs that are abortion-inducing, including the morning-after pill and week-after pill, or close its doors. Hobby Lobby has filed a suit against the HHS mandate, which claims that "The Green family's religious beliefs forbid them from participating in, providing access to, paying for, training others to engage in, or otherwise supporting abortion-causing drugs and devices."

RICHMOND,VA (Catholic Online) - Hobby Lobby is one of the nation's largest arts and crafts retailers, with more than 500 locations in 41 states. David Green and his family started the company over 40 years ago, and have run it on Christian principles ever since. What are those principles and what makes Hobby Lobby one of the "good guys" in today's corporate world? In an op ed piece in the September 12, 2012 edition of USA Today, Green explained:
I've always said that the first two goals of our business are 1) to run our business in harmony with God's laws, and 2) to focus on people more than money. And that's what we've tried to do. We close early so our employees can see their families at night. We keep our stores closed on Sundays, one of the week's biggest shopping days, so that our workers and their families can enjoy a day of rest. We believe that it is by God's grace that Hobby Lobby has endured, and he has blessed us and our employees. We've not only added jobs in a weak economy, we've also raised wages for the past four years in a row. Our full-time employees start at 80% above minimum wage.
In a time of economic distress, with the lowest labor participation rate in 35 years, the Obama government has decided to force Hobby Lobby to provide contraceptive coverage for its employees that include drugs that are abortion-inducing, including the morning-after pill and week-after pill, or close its doors. Hobby Lobby has filed a suit against the HHS mandate, which claims that "The Green family's religious beliefs forbid them from participating in, providing access to, paying for, training others to engage in, or otherwise supporting abortion-causing drugs and devices."
The lawsuit says the family also has "a sincere religious objection" to providing coverage for certain kinds of intrauterine devices (IUD's) and alleges they can cause the death of an embryo by preventing it from implanting in the wall of a woman's uterus. It also objects to the so-called "morning-after pill" which supposedly acts as an after the fact preventative measure (huh?) supposedly by preventing ovulation or fertilization, but often by preventing implantation, where the already fertilized egg tries to attach itself to the uterus. Thus, the "morning after pill" is in effect a chemical abortifacient.
Let us briefly consider what is currently available in chemical "birth control". The first is the French "abortion pill" RU-486, which is a steroid hormone similar to progesterone called mifepristone. The purpose of this drug is to abort a pregnancy. American pro-life groups lobbied so effectively against its importation that the French company handed over the manufacturing rights to an American company formed to produce it called Danco Laboratories, who markets it as Mifeprex. It is used to produce abortion within 7 weeks after sex, although it has been used up to 9 weeks.
The other chemical "birth control" is the so-called "morning after pill" which is not a single drug but rather a cocktail of oral contraceptives with a higher dose of hormones. The dosage and frequency of administration vary, but all are to be taken some time after a woman has sex. The drugs are called Plan B and Levonelle, otherwise known as "the morning-after pill" and "the week-after pill." In some cases these pills may prevent ovulation, but in other cases they, like a mechanical IUD, inhibit implantation of the embryo. In cases in which the embryo cannot implant, it dies, and the drug acts as a chemical abortifacient. Many pharmaceutical companies prefer to euphemistically call this method of birth control as "emergency contraception" instead of the Morning-After Pill.
Hobby Lobby is right. The government demands that it provide abortion services to its employees that it correctly believes are immoral and against the law of God. If it does not comply, it will face fines of $1.3 million PER DAY, and will be forced to close the doors of its 400 stores, putting thousands of people out of work. I guess this is how Obama creates jobs.
The health care reform law includes a "religious conscience" clause that allows certain "recognized religious sects" an exemption to the individual mandate. This has been so narrowly interpreted that although a Catholic (or other religious denominated) parish may receive an exemption, a Catholic hospital, for example, may not. There is thus no consideration for anyone who wishes to actually practice during the week the beliefs he professes on Sunday. This seems to be the trend for the Obama crowd - give lip service to Constitutional rights but make sure they are not actually practiced. You may have religious beliefs, but make sure they don't leave your church building.
The amazing thing is that this issue need never have arisen. Obamacare was billed as "affordable health insurance" for everyone. What is overlooked is what health insurance really is.
Insurance is best exemplified by homeowners who are afraid that their houses might burn down and leave them homeless. The chance of that happening is not very good, but if it did, it would be devastating. So, since saving money for the loss would be financially impossible for most people, they pool their money instead, and if a fire should occur, that pool of money is used to rebuild the lost home. The amount they must pay for this insurance is calculated by actuarial tables that consider the likelihood of the occurrence, plus the operating expenses and profit of the insurance company that underwrites it.
Health insurance is similar. Paying for a catastrophic illness or accident is beyond the financial capability of most people, so using similar actuarial tables that consider the likelihood of the occurrence, a premium is set that reflects the cost of insurance. That premium varies according to the services covered and the likelihood of the person needing these services.
What has happened is that the health insurance industry has grown tremendously in America primarily because it was treated favorably in the tax law, both for employers and for employees. It was cheaper for employers and for employees to receive this as a benefit than to get an actual raise because it was treated favorably by the IRS. As a result of these third-party payers, the cost of medical care has also skyrocketed, as have consumer demands on the quantity and quality of health care they receive, since the insured have little or no incentive to restrict their use of the system when someone else is paying for it.
"Insurance" that covers something like birth control or dental hygiene appointments is absurd. From an actuarial standpoint, everyone needs to have their teeth cleaned twice a year. That is 100% utilization. To pay an insurance company to cover that means that the insurance company must pay out the cost plus its administrative cost and profit. Thus, the overall cost will be higher than if the patient simply pays the dentist for the cleaning. The only reason we have this absurd situation is that a third party is paying, not the patient himself.
The HHS mandate is similar. There is no reason for Obama's "health insurance" to cover contraception. For those morally inclined to use it, it is a 100% incidence. It is not like hospitalization for a car accident or a heart attack that occurs only to a small number in the insured pool; it has a 100% incidence and is not really insurance at all. Of course, whether contraception is "health care" also begs the question. The White House said on Tuesday that it believes a requirement on contraceptives is "lawful and essential to women's health".
Huh? I don't see women who are not using contraceptives dropping dead all around me. In fact, research is now showing that contraceptive use may increase the risk of heart disease and stroke, increase the risk of cancer, and lead to increased risk of atherosclerotic plaque formation, which can produce clots that can cause serious injury and death if they travel to the heart, lungs or brain. This hardly sounds like something that is "essential to women's health" to me. But then, in pro-abort Newspeak, Planned Parenthood insists that abortions are part of "women's health", too.
Thus, the entire issue is an unnecessary attack on all people of faith. Birth control can be accomplished at no cost, and morally, through Natural Family Planning, and for those so inclined, mechanical means are available at very low cost at any drugstore. There is absolutely no need to include it in Obamacare. The issue is simply being pushed by the government as a control issue, another example of the trampling of our most precious liberties in yet another power play by the Administration.
The Hobby Lobby case is before the Supreme Court. It is now up to this body, the same one that erroneously defined Obamacare as a "tax" and thus legitimate, instead of the unconstitutional forcing of the citizenry to purchase something they do not want to purchase that it actually is, to decide whether this mandate is Constitutional. The Supreme Court already opted not to take up a case challenging the Obamacare requirement brought by Liberty University, an evangelical protestant college in Virginia, instead opting to leave in place an appeals court's ruling striking down their lawsuit. This does not bode well for Hobby Lobby, and in this season of the Holy Family, they need our prayers.

As the year begins, there are two developments worth noting that will have profound repercussions down the road:
The Stanford school of medicine have developed a technique to lengthen the 'telomeres' which are the end caps to our DNA and serve to protect and divide the cells. As we age, the number diminishes and weakens from an optimum range of 8,000 to 10,000 nucleotides that make up the average youth. This process extends the telomeres by a 1,000 nucleotides or the equivalent of numerous human years. This may prove disruptive in the treatment of numerous diseases and possibly in rejuvenating cells as a way to slow down the aging process. Only time will tell… Read more at: http://stanford.io/1Kqp0Vr

Graphene has been introduced to various industries but this particular application from the crew at the University of Manchester and of Sheffield will allow LED light to be emitted over a surface of only a few molecular layers thick, thus allowing for a new generation of FLEXIBLE and semi-transparent electronic screens. This is due to the heterostructure of the material, its superb conductivity and strength, incredibly at only 10-40 atoms thick!
3D printing continues to take small leaps and bounds as adventurers literally spin out innovative adaptations like that of Nervous Systems, Massachusetts and their kinematically designed frock.

So wonderfully innovative that MoMa NYC has bought it to place in their museum. Printed through Shapeways, it involved 'folding' the stl. file within the parameters of printing capacity. A remarkable, technological feat that is equally delicate and beautiful.

1_ IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES: Entertainment, narratives and brand experiences will become more immersive and altogether more enveloping in a bid to capture consumers' imagination and attention.
2_ DO YOU SPEAK VISUAL?: We're shifting to a visual vocabulary that relies on photos, emojis, video snippets and other imagery, largely supplanting the need for text. "Visual" is a new lingo that needs to be mastered.
3_ THE AGE OF IMPATIENCE: With the mainstreaming of the on-demand economy and our always-on culture, consumer expectations for speed and ease are rising exponentially. As businesses respond in kind, making the availability of their products and services more instant, impatience and impulsiveness will only continue to increase.
4_ MOBILE AS A GATEWAY TO OPPORTUNITY: In emerging markets, the mobile device is coming to represent a gateway to opportunity—helping people change their lives by giving them access to financial systems, new business tools, better health care, education and more.
5_ TELEPATHIC TECHNOLOGY: Thanks to the rise of brain-computer interfaces and emotion recognition technology, brands are getting more adept at understanding consumers' minds and moods, and reacting accordingly in a very personalized way.
6_ THE END OF ANONYMITY: Thanks to an array of new technologies and a growing drive to collect personal data, it's becoming nearly impossible to remain unobserved and untracked by corporations and governments. As anonymity becomes more elusive, expect pushback from consumers and a growing paranoia around technologies and services that affect privacy.
7_ RAGING AGAINST THE MACHINE: As we move further into the digital age, we're starting to both fear and resent technology, fretting about what's been lost in our embrace of unprecedented change. We'll put a higher value on all things that feel essentially human and seriously question (while not entirely resisting) technology's siren call.
8_ REMIXING TRADITION: With social norms quickly changing and a new anything-goes attitude, people are mashing up cherished traditions with decidedly new ideas, creating their own recipes for what feels right.
9_ PROUDLY IMPERFECT: Imperfection and even outright ugliness—the quirky, the messy and the clearly flawed—are taking on new appeal in a world that's become all too polished or mass-produced. The imperfect is coming to feel more authentic, and also more comforting and meaningful.
10_ MINDFUL LIVING: Consumers are developing a quasi-Zen desire to experience everything in a more present, conscious way. Once the domain of the spiritual set, mindful living is filtering into the mainstream, with more people drawn to the idea of shutting out distractions and focusing on the moment. – See more at: http://www.jwt.com/blog/consumer_insights/10-trends-that-will-shape-our-world-in-2014-and-beyond/#sthash.WKd0NHxT.dpuf
Northwestern University in Chicago has announced results in electric brain treatment that may hold the key to rehabilitating memory disorders stemming from alzheimer's, aging, brain injury, schizophrenia, stroke and just plain ole' forgetfulness…Results showed substantial improvement of memory tests after the 3rd day of 20 minute cranial massages for 5 consecutive days using electric impulses to a sweetspot strongly connected to the hippocampus just under the skull. Cramming for exams just got a whole lot easier (lol).

Scientists from MIT have developed new materials as light as aerogel only 10,000 times harder and may soon revolutionize chassis for automobiles, aerospace and other tech industries. Its secret lies in the structure at a molecular level that is 3D printed using a method called,micro-stereolithography that form lattice structures that withstand much more than their porous structure. 160.000 times more to be precise. Brave new world, indeed. Read more here: MIT
The process of additive manufacturing is evolving very quickly and it won't be long before the everyday consumer really feels the impact. For the moment, the novelty lends itself well to the luxury market, whether it's a printed CAR, HOUSE or more modestly, the customizable Prada shoe! Clients can soon choose not only heels and other modifications on certain styles but have their own initials engraved on the heel. Couture, 21st century style.
If you think life has left you behind and is now only full of terminator styled cyclists with their cyborg light mount helmets and sporty spandex, have no fear, the Tweed run is here. With NO Lululemon or Nike in sight, London held its 6th anniversary leisure cycle through the streets and parks this year with an estimated 500 participants. Not bad at all.

A highly innovative design from Deniz Karasahin, Paris won the 2014 A'Design contest for a medical brace. It is not only custom 3-D printed to each patient but because of the material, is waterproof, lightweight, environmentally sound and bacteria-resistant. There are ultrasound probes on the interior that directly touch the skin so regular low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) will stimulate bone reconstruction. Quote: "For single 20 minute daily sessions this system promises to reduce the healing process up to 38% and increase the heal rate up to 80% in non-union fractures". The structure also allows maximum breathability, reducing infections and itchiness. Impressive.
The TED conference happening this week in Vancouver has not only notable speakers but innovative artwork like that of Janet Echelman. Her"Skies Painted with Unnumbered Sparks" is monumental in size and claims to be one of the biggest sculptures ever. It spans 227 x 145 x 53 m, suspended between a 24-story skyscraper and the Convention Center. Made from Honeywell Spectra fibre, it is a massive, billowing Google Chrome Eye floating high above the city with stunning light show at night.

Providence, R.I. - The owner of Rhode Island's tallest building is suing Bank of America for more than $23 million, saying it neglected the Art Deco-style skyscraper, leaving behind crumbling facades and other problems when it left it vacant earlier this year.
Newton, Mass.-based developer High Rock says the 26-story building, known locally as the Superman building for its resemblance to the Daily Planet building in the old "Superman" TV show, is unrentable because of the work that must be done. Its lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Providence in July and is due for its first hearing Thursday.
Bank of America denies that it breached its lease and has countersued, saying it is High Rock that has breached the lease, and asking for attorney's fees.
A spokesman for High Rock and its lawyer would not comment on the lawsuit. A spokesman for Bank of America and its lawyer did not immediately return messages seeking comment.
The 428-foot-tall building is the distinguishing feature on the Providence skyline and had been used as a bank since it opened in 1928, first for the Industrial Trust Co., then its successor Fleet. Fleet sold the building in 2003 to Westminster Office and agreed to lease the entire building back from the company for 10 years.
Bank of America acquired Fleet in 2004 and assumed the lease. High Rock purchased the building in 2008, and the bank's lease term ended on April 30. By the time Bank of America left, it had been occupying only about 20 percent of the building's nearly 350,000 square feet.
High Rock says in its lawsuit that under the terms of the lease, Bank of America and Fleet before it were responsible for keeping the building in good condition, complying with laws and codes and for making any repairs. The company says the bank ignored repeated reports that pointed out problems and repairs needed at the building.
Bank of America "adopted a purely reactive facade maintenance program that did as little as possible, as late as possible, and at as low a cost as possible," the lawsuit says. It goes on to say the bank would put up safety staging above the street to catch falling brick and stone, then collect it in pails and store it in the building's basement.
The bank denies the allegations.
High Rock has been saying for months that the building needs extensive renovations. In April, shortly after the bank moved out, it floated a plan to get $39 million in state support to redevelop the building as apartments, but lawmakers rejected the idea.

Report: Lightning to Sign WHL's Leading Goal ScorerSubmitted by chad on March 5, 2011 - 13:13
SWX in eastern Washington is reporting Tyler Johnson, the Spokane Chiefs' leading scorer and WHL's leading goal scorer, will sign a three-year entry level contract with the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning when the Chiefs return from their two-game weekend series in Prince George.
Johnson, who is listed at 5'9", is an undrafted center and a former Chiefs teammate of current Norfolk Admirals goaltender Dustin Tokarski. Johnson, Tokarski and the Chiefs won the Memorial Cup in 2008. Johnson was the MVP of the WHL playoffs that year while Tokarski was Memorial Cup MVP.
Johnson, who is a native of Spokane, represented the USA twice at World Juniors. He had five points in seven games in the 2010 tournament.

When the Lisbon Treaty came into force on 1 December 2009, one of the big winners was the European Parliament which gained equal status with the Council of Ministers in most EU decision-making, including for the first time agricultural policy-making (although with some ambiguity about its role in setting prices and aid levels to which Wyn Grant has drawn attention). There is considerable interest in whether these new powers will be used to promote or block CAP reform. The pessimistic view is that the EP will become the focus of intense sectoral lobbying which will be used to block reform.
Some light may be thrown on the way the EP will exercise its new legislative role by looking at trade policy, another area where the Parliament gained new powers under the Lisbon Treaty. Currently, the EU-South Korean Free Trade Agreement, which was negotiated under the old Nice Treaty rules, is up for ratification under the new Lisbon rules. According to a report in EUObserver, there is a possibility that the EP could reject the agreement, in large part because of lobbying by European small car manufacturers.
The EUObserver report notes that a debate in the Parliament next week will throw light on the stance of the European legislature, with observers predicting support or opposition is likely to fall along national rather than political lines. One MEP, Christofer Fjellner, a member of the parliament's trade committee and a supporter of the agreement is quoted: "It would be very disturbing if the first thing the European Parliament does with its new powers is to take special interests to heart and increasingly act in a protectionist way."
A signpost of things to come in agricultural policy ?

And before it gets pointed out: Yes we know we're missing a line in Sheryl's dialogue right at the end; it got eaten in the final subtitle assembly process. Feel free to imagine "So I can go back to Galaxy without worrying." floating down there on the bottom of the screen.
(also yes her early line about what Alto's thinking probably should be less ambiguous, and yes we know we said "be" instead of "by")

On a side note; I kinda found it interesting after rewatching it that they mention the old ruin style near that cow(?) farm, but yet cut to a difference scene before explaining it.

Because the two are foils the love triangle becomes interesting; Sheryl is a diva and Ranka is the girl next door. I'm hoping that Alto ends up with Sheryl due to my personal preference and how hiraku didn't end up with the diva of his era.

Minmei and Hikaru grew apart as the series went on but Risa and Hiraku grew closer.
From what you said about Ranka's inspiration I consequently thought how Sheryl did the same thing for Alto in episode 5. The date with Sheryl kinda gave Alto a much needed shot of conviction. I thought before the date Alto wanted to fly large due to his rebelliousness and a little of anything else, but after spending some with someone as driven as Sheryl his attitude seems to have changed. If Alto is Ranka's inspiration then Sheryl might be Alto's, just slightly different.
Back to the first Macross analogies (if you can call it that), Minmei's song won the war but not Hikaru, and I think a similar situation would happen here. Obviously Ranka's voice/song has an affect on the Vajra which means she'll play an important roll in the war/conflict and most likely be the deciding factor. I doubt that Sheryl would end up with no Ws; if she ain't going to win the war, then she'll win Alto. EDIT: more like I don't think Ranka would end up with both wins.
just my 2cents

A cool episode. It was interesting and refreshing to see the Zentradi and Meltradi races again in fresh modern animation and I was surprised how well they have integrated themselves with human society. Is it just me but I don't quite remember either giant races having pointy ears.

I want to see how Ranka will react to the kiss... Anger? Depression?
Also, I never noticed before how pointy Michel's ears were. Is he part Zentradi, too?
About Alto failing to give Sheryl some paper: I don't think he understood what she was looking for till it was too late. I know I didn't.
I never thought I'd see hillbilly Zentradies...

I wasn't really a fan of the Macross series but the art style in this one encouraged me to check it out, and I'm enjoying it so far, been years since I watched a mecha show due to none of them really interested me . But I guess I could say I'm hooked on this one . I'm pretty sure I've seen Macross Plus but I don't remember a single thing about it! >_<;;;
Anyway, I must've listend to Ranka's singing about 10 times already! Does anybody here know what the song name is and the artist?

This series is turning out to be the best of the Macross sequels, already. At the end of the original Macross series, I always thought, "What if Minmay had a rival idol?" I think we're heading in that direction with this series.
BTW, if you didn't notice Ranka is singing Cheryl's "What Bout My Star" from the first episode (and easily surpasses the original in the process!)

Found some info, a link to Megumi Nakajima's official page is also there. I prefer Ranka's version of the song tho
Just realized Megumi Nakajima is the seiyuu for Ranka. So I guess it would be called her other verion of the song?

BTW, was anyone else struck by the irony of Ranka going to Alto for advice on family conflict resolution? I think Michel was...
What do you think are the chances of Osma arranging for a "training accident" if Alto were to tell her to get herself disowned and do what she wants?

Sheryl and Ranka are pretty much billed as even female leads so I don't see one of them getting both the W's. If through some (stupid) plot twist that ignores the events of the first 5 episodes and Sheryl instead of Ranka is the key to the Varja than even though I'm a massive Sheryl fan my "money" goes all on Ranka at that point. I don't see Kawamori giving everything good to one of these two and leaving the other one with nothing except character development.

"They're for you, since I've noticed you put on some weight recently. The food around here sure is good, isn't it?"?
Maybe Ranka will win the war and Alto, while Sheryl will prove she's the superstar and win career-wise? Though right now (unlike for first few episodes), I'm pretty torn on whom I want to win in love. I used to really want Ranka to win, but now, I don't think I'd mind too much if it's Sheryl... :\

True. It might be too early to make conclusions...but I definitely like what I'm seeing so far!
It is interesting you point out that Hikaru did not end up with the diva from his era.
1) It looks to me so far that this series may produce TWO divas. Who/How would he choose?
2) Hikaru choosing Misa at the end of Macross was perhaps someone's idea of how the romance should have ended up as back in the 1970's. But what about now? It's the 21st century; has the Japanese preference for choosing romantic partners in this franchise evolved over time or will it stay the same as back in the 70's?

Whitney Young's Ty Slaughter leaving a lasting impression
There is no data to display.
"Coach Ty is a very interesting character," Whitney Young senior Paul White said of the leader of the Dolphins. "He is someone who you can just absolutely enjoy talking to. And the next thing when you get into practice and he is just going at you constantly over and over again, you know at the end of the day it is for your well-being but at that moment you are just like ... [sighs]. But coach Ty is a great person, a great coach and just someone great overall."
This dynamic is a normal experience for most coach-athlete relationships. The rather fun-loving, approachable persona off the court and then the transformation into the demanding, seemingly uncompromising force yelling for you to get on the baseline and run sprints until you feel faint from the lack of oxygen reaching your brain. A vivid visual nonetheless but one many athletes can attest to. This distinctive balance has been a successful approach for the prestigious Dolphins, sitting at 9-4 on the season. And with their last state championship being in 2009, coach Ty feels the players he has now coupled with their remarkable athletic talents have a high chance of bringing a state title back home.
[RELATED: Young's Paul White perseveres despite rough Chicago streets]
"Every year we go into the campaign with the same objective and the same agenda and that is to win a state championship. I mean we have been dethroned from that possibility the last few years by a very good Simeon team and there is no question about it, those five young men went on to play Division-I basketball and some others before that who went on to play Division-I," coach Ty said with one of the more memorable athletes more than likely being Duke's Jabari Parker, now averaging 19.8 points and 7.8 rebounds in just his rookie season.
"Every year we felt good about our opportunities, and there is no less optimism this year. We feel really good about it," he went on to say. "We have three young people that are returning that have played 99 percent of their varsity minutes here for the time that they have been at Whitney Young. So we feel good.
"Now with that being said, the opposition is still stiff. You have to go out to every game that is put before you and go out and execute on those given days. If we go out and do the things we are capable of doing and that we believe we can do then we really will be successful."
[ALSO: Duke-bound Jahlil Okafor still focused on a state championship]
Over the years, coach Ty Slaughter has developed positive relationships with each of his young players. But the three seniors — Jahlil Okafor, Miles Reynolds and Paul White — have benefited the most under his reign. This trio has been playing as a unit since their freshman year of high school. And while some athletes juggle a few different choices on where to attend high school, the choice to attend Young was a decision that didn't take much convincing according to Okafor.
"When I was in seventh grade deciding to come to Whitney Young because my dad wanted me to come here just because the academics were so great here. I spoke with him and we instantly hit it off. I played with him the next year in eighth grade when I was with Ferrari, the AAU team. I built a great relationship with him and I've always known that I was going to be here at Whitney Young," Okafor confirmed.
"Coach Ty has been great to me," he continued. "He was giving me the best advice when I was going through the stressful recruiting process. In the end he was the person I came to just about every day getting his input and telling me not to get too involved with the emotions, not trying to hurt feelings and stuff like that. I love coach Ty, and he has really helped me become the person I am today."
[MORE: DRIVE: Miles Reynolds rising to the occasion]
Reynolds chimed in saying, "That's like my big brother-slash-father. He is always there for me when I need him or when I'm not feeling so hot or in a slump, he is always there to pick me up. And then even when I am playing well he is always encouraging me to do better. If there was anything I ever needed from coach Ty, he always supplied it for me, and that is why I have so much great respect for him."
While Okafor and Reynolds without a doubt had seamless relationships with Slaughter, White spoke of a different dynamic, one that in turn made him the successful young man he is today.
"We kind of have a love-hate relationship, but at the end of the day it is always love. But sometimes when we get into practice me and him just because I feel like I know a lot of about the game, me and him kind of ..." White said with a slight pause. "But I understand he wants the best for me. Sometimes I may not be providing a whole lot of what he may want from me. I respect that from him. But I will always understand that coach Ty is just going to be that person that at the end of the day is going to be there for us. But it's because we have two strong personalities. But at the end of the day he is going to be my coach, my mentor, and one of my friends.
"I wouldn't necessarily say butt heads because I wouldn't talk back or nothing like that. But coach Ty is someone who expects a whole lot out of you. And coach Ty is someone — he really doesn't have much of a filter, so if he feels a certain way then he is going to let you know," White said with a laugh. "And that is something that I truly respect out of him. It is nice to have a coach who is not going to sugarcoat anything but will tell you exactly what you need to work on. I am appreciative of that."
[RELATED: DRIVE: Young regains national dominance]
Slaughter has undoubtedly proven his worth in the coaching ranks, sending countless players along to fulfill their collegiate aspirations. But interestingly enough he has actually never played basketball competitively, starting first in baseball then transitioning into the sport he has grown to cherish.
"I've always coached. I've coached some sort of team sport since I was 15 years old. I first started in baseball and then after all the young people stopped playing baseball and starting playing basketball, I just kind of eased over to basketball. But to coach at Whitney Young, I absolutely never in my wildest dreams thought that I would have any opportunity to coach at a place like Whitney Young with the prestige that it has academically and the history that it has had athletically. But having got the opportunity, I cherish every day of it. And I thank God that he chose me and I happened to be here."
With such a vast imprint left on the program, it was surprising to learn that in the distant future Slaughter would like to hang up his whistle to pursue other endeavors, though choosing not to take his wisdom and experience to the college level saying, "No I don't think so. I think that in this stage in my life I don't think that is something I am prepared mentally nor physically or emotionally to do. I don't know how much longer this will go on. I am close to the end with this and I have enjoyed this. There is no other place I would rather coach from a high school perspective than Whitney Young. It is absolutely, fundamentally the greatest job in high school basketball because it is a place where you have this and that, not this or that. We have tremendous academics and we are at depths in winning in the classroom and our kids take that same level of commitment to the basketball and athletic fields. And for me, how much longer this will be for me, I don't know. But it is coming to an end. There are other things I would like to do in my life and coaching just may not be one of them, definitely not from a head-coaching perspective."
And while his time at Young is now surely winding down, leaving the program on a high note is the only way Slaughter wishes to be remembered.

Cleaning old glass bottles
This is hardly your usual household cleaning query, but I didn't know where else to post it. If anyone can recommend a better site, I'm willing.
Here's the thing. We live in a 100 year old house with a large back yard, which was once obviously used for dumping trash. There's a lovely garden there now, but whenever we dig deeply (as we have been doing to put in a new walkway), we unearth all manner of unusual stuff.
Recently we have dug up quite a few intact glass bottles. I'd like to get them as clean as possible and use them as little vases, but I'm having trouble getting them clean. The insides have become etched from lying in the dirt for 100 years, and the dirt that is in the etched part just won't let go.
Here's what I have tried (all involving scrubbing with a toothbrush): Hot water, hot water and liquid detergent, hot water and liquid detergent and bleach, hot water and liquid detergent and bleach with marbles in the bottle to shake around.
What else might work? I know I can't remove the etching, but I would like to get the dirt out of it.
Try hot water, rice or salt and a little vinegar. If that doesn't work try laying the bottles out on a piece of tin in the sun. I know sounds wierd, but a friend of mine swears by that. I have never done it, but may try this in the near future. My friend tells me that the "old people" in her family would lay the bottles on the barn tin roof to clean them out and it works every time. Sounds like this may be an old wives tale, but you never know, some of the tales have worked for me.
False teeth cleaner......the kind you put in a glass, it fizzes and you put your teeth in....can't remember the name.
With old bottles, part of the charm is the etching and the irridescent look....but I don't think mud adds to the charm....
Linda C
I got an old bottle clean with automatic-dishwashing detergent and hot water once. Just shook it up a bit and it cleaned it very well.
Strange tip that our DS found once is "Tang" - the breakfast drink. He read that it cleaned the inside of a stained old dishwasher and we tried it and it really brightened up the inside of our old dishwasher! I'd give that a try, couldn't hurt!
I put sand in them with soapy water and shake. Works pretty well. Vinegar and baking soda sometimes too.
That efferdent stuff is great on vintage linens.
A glass worker once told me that the etching won't come off. I have a small really old, "sunburned" glass vase. It is a lovely very pale lavender, but is cloudy on the inside. The glass guy said that is from age, and it is there to stay.
BTW, denture tablets are great for cleaning drains too. It works better than the caustic stuff like Drano. Put 4 or 5 of them in a smelly drain at night, and it will be fine by morning.
I also have had no luck in cleaning out that cloudy, iridescent layer from inside some antique milk bottles. At one time or another I have tried most of the tips you have suggested.
I would love to know just exactly what is it that causes that iridescent layer to form in the first place. Anybody know?
It is a change in the chemistry of the glass, as I understand it. The glassworker who told me it was permanent said that glass gets a matte finish on it from age and the chemistry of whatever it contained. The only way it could be smoothed out would be to heat the glass in a kiln just enough to cause the surface to melt a little. In the case of my sunburned glass, it would also take the color out. Also, there is a danger that the shape of the object would change from the heat. I've decided to let mine be - at its age, it's entitled to some flaws. :-)
Tips from a bottle collector and digger: Be careful with sand since it can easily scratch glass - bottle collectors use bits of copper wire instead. (copper will not scratch glass) Soaking overnight in an ammonia solution is good for dirt and grime. Try also LimeAway or similar product in grocery store for certain types of whitish deposits although most iridescence or "stain" can only be removed with tumbling or polishing. Bottle brushes (often found at grocery or hardware stores) are invaluable for cleaning the insides of old bottles.
See also this antique bottle cleaning page.
Hi. All the methods you have posted here work to some extent, depending on the type of dirt, soiling or hazing, and the bottle itself.
Mineral hazing or mineral etching can never be removed unless you use drastic measures (ie) heating the glass to just below the melting point. This in itself causes many other problems, warping etc. I have over 1000 bottles from the 1600s to the 1950s. I do not clean them past just getting the dirt & grime off. Some embossed bottles that are clear I clean a bit more so they can be read.
But other than that. Enjoy your bottle with it's patina.
That is just one part of it that makes it old and desirable to most collectors
Many bottle diggers, antique professionals and serious collectors have there own special ways to clean old bottles. If you dig up an old bottle or find a special treasure at a flea market or garage sale the first thing to do when you get it home is soak it in room temperature water and dish washing liquid. The temperature of the water is extremely important since water that is much hotter or colder than the bottle itself can cause it to crack. Allow the bottle to soak for a few hours or overnight if possible.
I tried a few different methods and when none worked to my satisfaction I had a thought, I want to use these old milk bottles I found under my grandmothers house as milk bottles again and if I can't then I will just sell them off so after many attempts and failures I tried spraying oven cleaner into them and letting them sit(carefully not to get any on the lettering) and to my surprise they look like brand new bottles soooo happy!!
Try filling it with Coke or Pepsi and letting it sit for a few hours. I had an old milk bottle from the 40's or 50's that had some kind of dirt inside that I couldn't get out, even with a bottle brush. I filled it with Pepsi and sat it on my desk. For three hours, it kept bubbling. After it stopped, I poured it out and washed it with dishwashing liquid and water. It was sparkling and spotless!

Would like to make a baby sweater
I hae some DK weight yarn and would like to attempt a baby sweater. I saw this one on Lion Brand
I thought I reposted but don't see it now.
It's knit, Pandora. I've never knit a sweater before, and even so consider myself beginner to intermediate as a knitter.
I found a Lion Brand pattern which looks easy enough (link below). Is it all one piece? I'm unsure about something in the early part of the pattern where it says for sleeve shaping to increase 1 at the end of each row. What kind of increase would I do?
The sweater looks a little bulky under the arms, maybe because it's knit in one piece, and I was wondering if anyone here has a pattern or a link to a pattern they think is better. I have DK weight yarn. I could knit with two strands because I have a lot of it.
Many thanks.
if you can post your addy, will send you some from sidar.
I dont know how easy or hard they are, unfortunately i do not knit :( my mother in law and friends have been sharing their wonderful stashes..my addy is
firstname.lastname@example.com if you prefer it that way..
The sleeve is shaped by making it wider by increasing the number of stitches with the increase and doing an increase every so many rows according to the instructions. If you know how to knit, purl, cast on and cast off, believe me, you can make a baby sweater. We can help you understand any questions about your pattern. And there are internet sites with instructional clips about how to do each stitch or procedure. I increase usually by knitting twice into the stitch. But you can make one [M1] by making a tight 180 degree twist of yarn on your needle too. Some people prefer to pick up the yarn between the stitches, put it on the needle and increase that way.
So go ahead and try the pattern.
There's a free pattern for a baby sweater on the Lion Brand web site that is possibly the easiest sweater to knit in the entire world. Entirely garter stitch (knit every row), and you don't do any increases or decreases at all. :-)
Here is a link that might be useful: Glamour Baby's First Cardigan
Then try the Baby Surprise Jacket. Every stitch is knit except the last row which is cast off in purl. You need to increase by M1 and decrease and follow the directions carefully. Each sleeve has one seam when you are done, but otherwise you do not need to sew seams.

Over the weekend, Love magazine released yet another cover of its 13th issue, this time with Kendall Jenner straddling Cara Delevingne.. There's just no separating these two! ~ Instagram
