I have a birthday cake to make for my 17 yr. old! She always wants the same thing: a 4 layer chocolate cake (I just use a boxed mix) with homemade peppermint buttercream icing. This cake is all about the icing, LOL. I use peppermint oil for it, not an alcohol-based flavor.
It's been a hectic week and I've been off my perfume. Maybe I will feel like resuming tomorrow.

Happy Birthday to 30R's rosette! Goodness, that cake sounds *fantastic*!
Thanks to all the well-wishers and additional thanks to Twolf and Jon for the good laughs! My tastebuds are so done with chicken broth even though they (and my sniffer) are not yet working properly. I was craving a pizza loaded with meat last night, so I know I must be starting to mend.
I'm still wicked stuffy and congested and coughing but otherwise feel pretty decent. I didn't do any fragrance yesterday, but my BF's Christmas present arrived from Barney's today (Iris Poudre) along with a few more Malle samples. So I'm in Angelique Sous La Pluie this morning. The cedar, cumin, and pink pepper are very well-balanced, and the juniper adds a nice, sharp freshness. But, as with all JC Ellena fragrances on me, I applied less than 30 minutes ago, and it's nearly gone. Sigh. Such a lovely fragrance but far too fleeting for the $$$.

Hello everyone, all my wonderful kind, funny, and most of all glorious smelling friends.
Dashing in to say Thank You for all your support, kindness, generosity, advice and good humour in 2012. Have a great festive season those who celebrate, a great holiday those who can, and take care each and every one of you.
Merry Christmas and as we say here "All the best for 2013"
Continuing with JC Ellena, I am Malle L'eau d'Hiver for the evening. I've tried this one before at the Barney's in Vegas and in SF, but it's never done anything for me. I was expecting more "meh" this evening. But, wow! I'm really enjoying it!
I swear, my nose is changing, or it craves very different things in the winter. I have never (NEVER, I tell you) been able to wear iris, heliotrope, or powdery fragrances of any kind, but I find myself *very* drawn to some powdery fragrances this winter, including Mazzolari Lei, PG Intrigant Patchouli, and now L'eau d'Hiver. Maybe I should sneak some of the BF's Iris Poudre to see how far this 180 is going.
Perhaps relatedly, I find myself unable to wear anything overtly musky this winter, including Musk Ravageur. I'm even struggling with the musk dry-down in Ava Luxe Madeline, which should hit the bullseye for me during the holidays. Sigh.
At least I still love my ambers and vanillas. On the bright side, I guess it's something for me to explore, right? Perhaps an Iris Silver Mist sample?

Sorry guys, I'm not in synch today. I had to wear Fumerie Turque today ... One sniff of FT and I knew I would be owning a full bottle someday. Lucky for me, it joined the export line. I think the first day it was available, I was ringing up Barneys and having them ship a bottle to me. No regrets, I love it to bits.
Happy Friday and happy vacation to all who are off work for the holidays.

Started in She-Wolf, ended in SSS Sienna Musk. Unlike ExtremeK, I am digging the musks today I guess. It is *way* too cold here right now, and these really shine in the colder weather. Sienna Musk isn't 'warm' to me, exactly, it has a refreshingness, but it's definitely more suited to the cold.
Came from work. The nerve some people have plotting the reasons to be with their families -- not with the co-workers and job-responsibilities -- this festive season. Grrrrrrrrrrr........ No, I am not working 16+16 hours each day, nononono.
Changed into one spray of Mauboussin and will be off to bed in a few.

I'm an actual customer, single male in my mid-30's & could probably be described by some as a "serial dater." I personally am not crazy about the cologne, but literally every single woman I've ever worn it for on a date has LOVED it. I've never seen anything like it and I have a huge collection of scents. This one regardless of how I feel about it, will always be kept in my repertoire. I HIGHLY recommend it guys...believe me your lady will LOVE IT and you will want to thank me! You're welcome in advance!

Very good! The description of the mark is perfect. "Rochas Man is a strictly classical Fougere, very masculine, audacious not to say ambiguous. The gourmand notes of raspberry and cappuccino inhabit its base, blended with patchouli, and confer a contemporary presence upon it. Classical and classy." The scent have a touch of jasmin and raphysberry very particular, sweet, but too well male. I do not think the coffe so noticeable, but soft. Is very, very pleasant smell! Remember lightly sugary biscuit. It is very attractive. Can be used in all ocasions and ages.

Dental Health: Sealants
Sealants are a thin, plastic coating painted on the chewing surfaces of
Although thorough brushing and flossing can remove food particles and plaque from smooth surfaces of teeth, they cannot always get into all the nooks and crannies of the back teeth to remove the food and plaque. Sealants protect these vulnerable areas from tooth decay by "sealing out" plaque and food.
Who Should Get Sealants?
Because of the likelihood of developing decay in the depressions and grooves of the premolars and molars, children and teenagers are obvious candidates for sealants. However, adults without decay or fillings in their molars can also benefit from sealants.
Typically, children should get sealants on their permanent molars and premolars as soon as these teeth come in. In this way, the dental sealants can protect the teeth through the cavity-prone years of ages 6 to 14.
In some cases, dental sealants may also be appropriate for baby teeth, such as when a child's baby teeth have deep depressions and grooves. Because baby teeth play such an important role in holding the correct spacing for permanent teeth, it is important to keep these teeth healthy so they are not lost too early.
How Are Sealants Applied?
Applying the sealant is a simple and painless process. It takes only a few minutes for your dentist or hygienist to apply the sealant to seal each tooth. The application steps are as follows:
How Long Do Sealants Last?
Sealants can protect the teeth from decay for up to 10 years, but they need to be checked for chipping or wearing at regular dental check-ups. Your dentist can replace sealants as necessary.
Does Insurance Cover the Cost of Sealants?
Many insurance companies cover the cost of sealants. Check with your dental insurance carrier to determine if sealants are covered under your plan.

Freshman forward Nicole Anderson continued her strong start to her Miami career. She had her first career double-double, leading the RedHawks with 17 points and 16 rebounds in 31 minutes of action. She was 6-for-11 from the field and hit 2-for-2 from the three-point line.
Jumpers by senior guard Haley Robertson, senior guard Hannah Robertson and junior guard Kindsay Brandt, followed by a layup from Anderson gave Miami an 8-6 lead at the 16:25 mark of the first half. The RedHawk offense went cold, not hitting a field goal for the next 6:45 as the Raiders went on a 10-1 run. Anderson drained a three-pointer with 9:40 remaining in the period to stop the run and pull the Red and White to within four at 16-12.
Miami continued to play good defense as Anderson and freshman guard Jillian Spurlock each hit a pair of free throws to make it a two-point deficit at 18-16. Wright State guard Abby Jump drained back-to-back three-point baskets as part of a 12-6 run that expanded the Raider lead to eight at 30-24. Haley Robertson hit a layup with 2:35 left to make it a six-point game, but WSU closed the half with eight straight points to take a 38-24 lead into the break.
Anderson led Miami with seven points and seven rebounds in the first half. Wright State took advantage of 10 RedHawk turnovers and hit 6-for-21 (28.6 percent) from behind the arc to build its lead.
Both teams came out firing in the second half. A layup and three-pointer from Anderson, along with a three-pointer from Hannah Robertson was part of 13 points that Miami scored in the first four minutes of the period. Unfortunately for the RedHawks, the Raiders also scored 13 points during that time frame, which made the score 51-37 at the 16:05 mark.
Wright State used 19 second half Miami fouls to build its lead at the free throw line. With the score 53-39, a 15-6 run by the Raiders put them in control at 68-45 with 9:45 to go. Haley Robertson hit a three-pointer, while Spurlock followed with a jumper, but three more WSU three-pointers allowed them to eventually increase the lead to 30 at 86-56. Miami closed on a 7-4 run to set the final score.
In addition to Anderson's 17 points, Spurlock finished with 13, while Haley Robertson had 10. Miami shot 19-for-47 (40.4 percent) from the field, while the Raiders shot 25-for-61 (41.0 percent). WSU finished 13-for-36 (36.1 percent) from behind the arc.
As a team, Miami outrebounded Wright State, 40-32. Brandt and junior guard Courtney Larson led the 'Hawks with three assists apiece.
Miami returns to action on Saturday when it hosts Chicago State at 2 p.m.

Painting and Dancing on Mexico's Pacific Coast
My partner Mary loves to paint. Her kind of painting takes her and her oils out into a landscape....she paints from real life, not from photographs.
The Casa, as it is known, stands beside Banderas Bay, in a cove that's trafficked by many water taxis, who arrive from Puerto Vallarta, ten miles up the coast, and Zodiacs bearing boatloads of cruise ship passengers who disembark for excursions to a jungle Zip line. Other younger passengers dress in school uniforms to commute here from other villages and go to school. Boca is a busy place and watching all of these passing water taxis, fishing boats and the passing parade of people on the beach is one of the great pleasures. It's tonic for a restless, plugged in American to simply sit, and watch, and do nothing at all. People here are really good at that.
Inside orange three-story Casa, which was built with the assistance of a San Diego-based architect friend who lives a few doors down, is designed for both comfort and to provide spaces for the many activities held here. On the top floor is the wide open painting and dancing studio, where there are hundreds of tubes of paint, many easels, a dramatic open air view of the ocean and the Rio Horcones, and the busy village across the river.
Other weeks feature well-known watercolor or oil painters, who often attract their own following. "It's a place where artists can come and get in touch with the intuitive part of themselves, where the technical instruction is of the highest caliber and the diversity is apparent," explains Bob Masla. "I want everyone who comes here to leave with the idea that he got to jump into the unknown, taking a course that pushed the envelope and stretched the boundaries a bit."
During our visit, Bob brought the entire group of eight up to the painting studio, even though everyone except Mary wasn't actually an artist at all. But as Bob explained, everyone has something inside them, a little bit of an artist, and it's worth exploring what we could come up with.
We kept on at it, pushing new lines, blurring our charcoal, and as Bob went around to each of us, he helped us tweak and stretch and keep trying out new ways to make it, well, art. It worked. After we had all worked on our charcoal projects, and had a chance to critique each other's work, we picked them all up and Bob lay them down on the floor. When all of the charcoals drawings were put together, then reassembled and then moved around a little more, it created a pretty decent looking piece of work. It was a great example of tapping an un-used part of our own creativity.
A week at the Casa takes guests not only into places where they barely realized they might have talent, like making art, but out into the surrounding countryside for three excursions that were highlights of our trip. The Casa is located down the highway from the tourist mecca of Puerto Vallarta, yet the village of Boca de Tomaltan is not at all the typical tourist trap like the bigger neighbor up the coast. One night we went shopping for Mexican clothing and strolled the Malecon walkway, and then dined in a fancy seaside restaurant in Puerto Vallarta.
Diving into the Pacific
We joined Bob, Monica, their three children and our group in two speedboats and dove into the warm Pacific water. Some of us donned masks and snorkled near the Arcas, watching schools of yellow fish dart past.
After we had eaten and some were relaxing in the sun, many in our group ventured out into the surf. Mary and I joined them, and I reflected on how fun it was to be swimming as a group, together. The three couples and the two singles had all merged into a group of friends who really wanted to be together out there in the ocean. To me it said that we had bonded, we had become real compadres, and this is definitely one of the major advantages of traveling as a group.
Mary's painting took place in the morning. She'd set up her easel right outside the apartment that we stayed in, which is adjacent to the Casa. There on the little veranda, as she applied oils to her canvas, the neighborhood kids would come around and gather near the easel. They wanted to see what the Senora was painting, in between their days-long games of tag. Their friendliness echoed that of the entire village....everyone in Boca is laid back and takes a casual approach to life and doesn't sweat it. Despite the fears that many have about Mexico and its drug wars, none of this affected us in the least, and throughout the week we felt safe and welcomed.
Another excursion brought us into the mountains about an hour north of the Casa to the village of El Tuito. El Tuito is the home of many Huichol Indians, famous for they peyote rituals and their unique works of art. We climbed up from sea level to about 2000 feet into the Sierra Madre mountains and the terrain changed from palm trees to pine forests.
On the way to lunch at a raicilla distillery, we passed a house on a driveway where we had to open a gate. A friendly elderly woman was cooking handmade tortillas on the porch, and she waved, asking us if we would like to come have a taste. Her husband was a spry man aged 99, and he proudly stood with his great granddaughter in front of a rustic bedroom with a date over the door, 1895.

Heyneke Meyer says dropping Morne Steyn from the Springboks' squad was not the solution to remedying his struggles.
Steyn has been the central villain in what has been a nightmare Rugby Championship campaign for the Springboks. His ball-in-hand play is widely perceived to be average, while his tactical and goal kicking has lacked its trademark accuracy.
There is a sense that a large portion of the South African rugby fraternity has lost patience with Steyn, the tipping point coming in their most recent Test against the All Blacks in Dunedin, where he missed kicks which were decisive in the final analysis.
Meyer has consistently voiced his view that Steyn's heavy workload over the last three years has compromised him and reiterated this after the Dunedin defeat once more. He intimated then that he would rest Steyn for the home leg, but said those plans were shelved in light of a ruling that requires Springboks players to compete in the Currie Cup if not in the squad.
'We need to look at how we manage our players but it was best that he stayed involved,' Meyer said. 'There is a lot of criticism [directed] at Morne, but you're still working with a human being. If you look at when Bryan [Habana] was struggling, as a coach you can't just throw a guy away and expect him to come back stronger. I'm not the type of coach to just throw a guy away.
'Obviously if you do stupid things there's no sympathy [Meyer would later suggest that Dean Greyling wouldn't play Test rugby again because of his cowardly assault Richie McCaw]. But Morne's general play was good, it was his kicking that was poor and we have to work on that. It is great to have him in the group, especially with Johan Goosen not being 100% fit [bruised heel]. I can already see being back home has helped him.'
Meyer continued to defend his gameplan, which is thought to be too conservative, stressing that his belief in its effectiveness hasn't diminished. 'There's been a lot of talk about the gameplan but I thought we played the All Blacks perfectly,' he said.
'We had more scoring chances than them but we finished poorly. We didn't convert pressure into points. The teams are so close in Test rugby that that is costly. It frustrated me today in training because when we broke the line guys didn't show an instinct to finish. They almost appeared to stop. We have to finish better. There isn't a lot to change in the gameplan, we just have to finish better.'
He also suggested that expectations need to be tempered in keeping with his infancy in the role. 'I've checked the stats, Steve Hansen has been with the All Blacks for 100 Tests. Robbie Deans has just surpassed Bob Dwyer's 65 Tests as coach. The Argentinian coach has been there for four or five years. I've been with the team for seven weeks,' he said.
'When you take over a new team with new coaching staff and players and take on the top sides in the world there will be a bit of self doubt for everybody. The players know they could have beaten Australia and New Zealand. But I sense the self-belief is growing. That comes with experience and we're short on that. But we're home now and the lessons from those defeats must show in our performances.'

Having spent many happy years using the E series ( including the very first one in BBC Maida Vale 3) I can say it certainly has much of the desks character. It would be interesting if UAD incorporate the unison technology as much of the consoles sound derives from the mic pre's.
Best software I have tried, although the waves is quite good
Considering the source for the plugin is a digital one, it really does deliver a different kind of feel to the sound that I currently haven't got.
Considering the Hardware version has 'Analog' as the source to work with (or real actual electricity), this plug-in really feels like it's utilizing the extra DSP power it has available to it (this extra DSP power gives it an un-fair edge over other emulations).
It's not to say other emulations are less, but I would find it hard to go back to another plug-in as far as desiring the SSL texture in a digital medium.
Other emulations can feel to aggressive or 'too responsive', but this unit can be pushed less on the softer side and more on the harder side.
I didn't expect to be blown away by this one - and hadn't heard people praising it like Ampex tape plug-in for instance. i already have the waves SSL, so i did not expect this one to be a favorite. But i was pleasantly surprised, and very impressed by how much better this one sounds to Waves SSL. Compressing with UAD SSL E Channel strip gives me a sonically much more solid sound, than with waves SSL comp and as a direct result helps me giving my mixes much more impact. AWESOME plug-in !!!
I mix into SSL X desks and, so all that was missing from my sound was the channel EQ and dynamics, to say I am impressed with this plugin is an under statement.
As usual, amazing likeness and wonderful differences.
I also own the Neve channel strip. I have to say I absolutely love the SSL E series and would recommend it to anyone looking for an analog sound.
Both the Neve and the SSL channel strips are great but I found myself favouring the SSL E.
Enjoy have fun mixing.
I'm a mix engineer I own a private project studio. Work primarily with Pop, Rock, Blues, Hip Hop, World Music and Techno. I mixed a record in a SSL room for the first time little while ago and wanted wanted to recreate that same feel. When I got this plugin I had high expectations. Let me tell you I was not disappointed, this plugin did precisely that. It is my goto channel strip.
I'm using on groups, and it's great great on the drums and on bass
Mixes are more breathable an transparent now......you need this plug
I have never use a SSL Console before but, with this plugins i can.
Thanks UAD Team for a great Emulation of the SSL 4000.
I love what this channel strip does on all my drum and bass tracks. No need for Console emulation summers. This is doing it. Gates and channel comps on these really cleans up a live drum recording.
This is my first time experiencing the SSL plug-ins, it is awesome! Everything is included for a single channel. I'm glad I made this purchase it is Definitely worth it.
i love this one on drums and percussion gives things nice classical SSL tone
EQ is very use-full and the dynamic section sound great and tight when dialed with measure
awesome channel strip!
Again, as in my SSL compressor review, this stands up to those who know how the SSL channels sound.
Even FLAT, you can hear a character change in the brown and black EQs.
As true, a little tweak goes a long way. Don't bother with the others. Waves, not even close with the same settings.
I've been recording and mixing on an SSL console at Fantasy Studios for years. So to get this amazing plugin that works and sounds the same is such a gift. My mixes are sounding great thanks to UA.
After an initial panic caused by thinking I had bought the wrong plugin (see 4k channel strip) I settled the heart down and realised I had bought the correct plugin. I had already used the trial version so knew what to expect. I use this especially for the high pass and low pass filter, sounds great and helps balance my mixes, especially on aux busses.
Excellent Plugin! Way better than the other compainies version of this.
simply one word: Amazing!
A must have plug-in... works great on everything!
Yupp, it makes the sound jump out of the speakers in controlled way. Makes it sound bigger and wide in a great way. Compared to the 4K strip it hold the sound together in a more pro way, that I searched for in other SSL strip plugins, but not heard until now. Expander is great and I like the BLK/BRN selector. Boosting the low and putting the Bus comp after creates a solid foundation that puts a smile on my face. :-)
I use this plugin at least once on every session, and there's many sessions I've done where I've had it on every track. Smooth EQ's with 2 different modes, EXCELLENT gates, and easy to use (after you've read the manual). When I'm tracking with Apollo, this is ALWAYS on, and I print it straight to my DAW. Well done, UA. By far my favorite plug-in.
Universal Audio needs to sponsor a new program. Call it The UAA (Universal Audio Anonymous.) To put it quite simply, I have an addiction to your plug-ins! So far I have purchased The Studer 800, The NEVE 88RS, The SSL E Channel strip, The 1176 collection, and The NEVE 31102, and I love them all! I have a list of future purchases base on priority that Im aiming to get, and now I find myself looking for ways to cut back on living expenses and searching for things around my house to sell just so I can scrape up a few extra dollars to get my next UA fix! Seriously... I NEED HELP!!!
Keep up the good work UA. Im looking forward to a long and beautiful relationship with you guys!
Your truly.

Pratt-Reed LNE-1
On loan from the National Soaring Museum
The LNE-1 is a two, side-by-side, seat glider trainer. The glider was built by the Pratt-Read and Co., Gould Aero Div., in Deep River, CT. The proposed design was made for the training of Navy and Marine Corps glider pilots to land Marines in the Pacific during World War II. The Navy glider program was quickly disbanded, as glider landings in the Pacific during WWII was determined not to be practical and 73 LNE-1's that were produced were transferred to the United States Army Air Force. They were all put into storage and then sold after the end of the war. It held several soaring records for multi-place sailplanes, including in 1952 for absolute altitude of 44,255 feet.

PETA, the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals, is an animal rights group. PETA focuses on animal advocacy in the cases of factory farms, the clothing industry, research laboratories, and the entertainment industry. The organization also works toward legislation to protect animals, stages protests and rallies, performs animal rescues and uses advertising to disseminate its messages.
PETA engages in a self-described "colorful and controversial" approach to raising awareness for animal rights. It has recently garnered considerable attention for its anti-fur campaigns where protesters, including a number of popular celebrities, appear nude, either in marches, in pictures, or Web PSAs.
PETA is organized as a non-profit 501(c)(3)organization. It employs 300 people and counts more than two million people among its members. The president is Ingrid Newkirk, a British-born animal rights activist who has worked in the animal protection movement for more than 35 years.
Newkirk founded the organization back in 1980 along with fellow animal rights activist Alex Pacheco.

Welcome to the Hafler Lab
Dr. Hafler is a clinical neurologist who is trained experimentally as an immunologist. His research characterizes human immune responses to autoantigens, with the aim of developing an understanding of the underlying loss of immune regulation that leads to human autoimmune disease and identifying the genetic variations associated with human inflammatory immune responses. As a clinician actively engaged in the development of clinical trials, he is an instrumental leader in the translation of experimental findings to therapies for human diseases.
Dr. Hafler's laboratory has been a major force in defining human autoimmune disease for over a quarter of a century. After demonstrating the presence of an activated peripheral immune system in patients with MS, he was among the first to apply human T cell cloning to human disease, which helped delineate the dominant epitopes of myelin antigens in MS (Nature, 1990) and of islet antigens in diabetes (Nature 2005).

The Niner SIR 9 demonstrates steel is real! Steel bikes are as relevant today as they were 50 years ago. With that said, all steel is NOT created equal. The Niner SIR tubing is a custom selected set that utilizes the best tube options for each application within the frame. The front triangle is comprised of new Reynolds 853 DZB (Double Zone Butting) tubing. Developed for mountain bikes, more specifically 29ers, Reynolds 853 DZB offers two significant advantages. Historically downtube fork clearance on 29ers has been tricky because of the relatively high head tube to bottom bracket height. A straight downtube needs to be welded high on the back of the headtube to achieve fork clearance, often requiring either a gusset between the headtube and the downtube or a thicker heavier downtube to achieve the desired strength. The Reynolds 853 DZB tube overcomes this limitation by incorporating two different butting profiles on the same downtube. The superior strength is combined with a butting profile in the rest of the tube that maintains ride quality, and keeps the weight down. Secondly, the 853 DBZ tube is the proprietary bend. Niner worked with Reynolds to shape the tube for the SIR 9 so the tube can attach lower on the headtube, which reduces front end torsional flex, and increases steering precision and adds strength.
Like the rest of Niner's bikes, the SIR 9 utilizes Niner's tried and true geometry. There are plenty of nifty features that you'll find in the SIR 9. The Niner SIR 9 features the BioCentric bottom bracket system. The BioCentric makes adjustment easy across a wide range of gears and eliminates the need for adjustable dropouts. The BioCentric offsets the bottom bracket spindle 8.5mm from center, offering greater range of adjustment compared to a more traditional EBB setup. Not to mention, the ultra flashy head badge and dazzing paint is enough to make you swoon.

West Point started their journey to Jackson against the number four seeded Canton Tigers from Region 2 5-A.
The Tigers put their best effort forward, but that effort was no match for a dominant Green Wave team. West Point led throughout the game after Tez Lane's first touchdown run from 34 yards out in the first quarter. Following that there was no looking back, as the Wave went on to crush their first round foe with the final score of 38-0.
Once again, Lane and Aeris Williams helped carry the workload for the West Point offense. Lane on the night had 10 carries racking up 140 rushing yards along with Williams's tally of 18 touches for 155 rushing yards combining for just less than 300 yards. But it was not just Lane and Williams, West Point used many different offensive formations to involve Ladarius Patterson (3 carries for 16 yards) and Roger Thomas (3 carries for 42 yards) who chipped away at the Tiger defense. Lane threw seven times completing two passes for 45 yards and one touchdown, a connection between Lane and Peair Howard for 31 yards. Friday night's game displayed West Point's versatility on the offensive side of the ball.
If the West Point defense could be described in one word, it would be dominant. The Green Wave was relentless and earned the shutout against Canton. The defensive line stood like a brick wall and created a nightmare for Canton's backfield as time and time again gaining yards on the ground was next to impossible for the Tigers. West Point's pressure in the backfield caused turnovers in Canton's passing attack. Nelson McIntosh and Cortez Young recorded interceptions on the night helping the Green Wave cause.
"Our defense has played well all year," said Coach Chris Chambless about his Green Wave defense, "We had a breakdown or two, but we overcame them tonight."
The first quarter started with an impressive three and out by the West Point defense, a common occurrence all night. And it was not long before the Wave scored. Only taking three plays and fifty seconds, West Point found the scoreboard in the first quarter, when Lane dodged a group of Tiger defenders and scampered into the end zone from thirty-four yards out. Eric Lemus tacked on his first of five successful extra point tries on the night making the score 7-0 in favor of the Green Wave with 9:51 left in the first. Another short Canton three and out set up a long West Point drive with starting field position at the Wave's own one yard line. But it only took eight plays and 4 minutes to travel 99 yards and find the end zone again, the Green Wave's Williams pushed his way in from three yards out bringing the score to 14-0 with 3:54 in the first quarter. After the first quarter touchdowns, the Wave could not get the same spark in the second quarter. The first half ended with the score at 14-0 and the game leaning towards West Point.
The third quarter started as everybody in the green and white wanted, with another Green Wave touchdown. Lane showed fantastic composure when a bad snap flew over his head in the shotgun formation, he immediately scooped the ball up and started down the field. After making a couple of Canton defenders miss and finding open space, Lane scored darting around the field for 52 yards. The ensuing PAT was good and West Point began to run Canton out of the stadium, leading 21-0 with 10:19 in the third quarter. The Wave defense stepped up big time immediately after the West Point touchdown when McIntosh picked off Canton's quarterback Fred Smith at the Green Wave 48 and returned it inside Canton's 35. The first Wave offensive play saw Lane connect with Howard for a 31 yard touchdown pass taking the score to 28-0 with 8:44 left in the third. After a fifteen minute scoring drought, West Point finally capitalized with a Lemus 20-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. And when it rains, it pours. The following squib kick-off saw the Tigers mishandle the ball, knocking the football into the end zone allowing for Ladarius Patterson to fall on it for six. Within 10 seconds, the Green Wave had put ten points on the board finalizing the scoring on the night. The final score read 38-0 and a first round victory for West Point.
"We are getting better in all areas of the game," commented Coach Chambless on the Green Wave's victory.
Friday night's win allows the Wave to punch their ticket into the second round of the 5-A playoffs where they will host the #2 seed Ridgeland Titans. A definite clash will occur next Friday night in West Point when another high powered offense similar to Oxford rolls into town. "It's a big game against the Titans," said Coach Chambless, "Ridgeland will be up to the challenge, and we need to be ready to bring our "A" game."

Women's Tennis Ends Season with 5-1 Loss to Top-Seeded Erskine in Tourney Semis
April 16, 2011
SUMTER, S.C. - #4 Pfeiffer University fell victim to top-seeded Erskine 5-1 in Saturday's semifinal round of the 2011 Conference Carolinas women's tennis tournament at the Palmetto Tennis Complex. The Lady Falcons end their season a game above .500 at 11-10.
Pfeiffer's lone point came in doubles play at the #1 position. Alena Krutkina and Cari Hopson teamed up for an 8-4 win. Erskine rolled in the other pair of doubles contests while winning #2, #3, and #6 singles in straight-sets.

DURHAM — North Carolina might have taken a complete step toward recapturing its "mojo" in its first game of the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament on Thursday.
Even if coach Mike Fox is unsure of the meaning of that word.
"Did I say that word, really?" a light-hearted Fox asked, unable to recall using the term when describing the Tar Heels' outlook heading into the tournament. "I don't know what that word means."
Whatever it means, North Carolina was clicking on all cylinders at Durham Bulls Athletic Park to rout Miami 10-0 in a game that ended in the eighth inning because of the tournament's 10-run mercy rule.
North Carolina (49-8) next takes on Clemson at 7 tonight before Saturday night's showdown with North Carolina State.
"I challenged them before the game because it has been pretty obvious, the teams that have played here before and won looked like they've really been ready to play and locked in," Fox said.
First baseman Cody Stubbs was locked in from the start, going 4-for-5 with a double and three RBI. Eight starters recorded at least one hit for the Tar Heels.
"We just want to come out here and … get back on the right track," Stubbs said. "We had a good win against Florida State (on Monday night), but obviously we want to get good footing in the ACC Tournament."
North Carolina lost its last two conference series of the season, entering the tournament 4-4 in its previous eight games.
Tar Heels' starting pitcher Kent Emanuel was in trouble after walking the first two batters of the second inning. He escaped the jam with a double play and by knocking down a comebacker and flashing his athleticism by chasing the ball to the first-base line and throwing on the run to record the final out.
"I've said all along, Kent is probably the best-fielding pitcher I've ever coached and he's shown that several times this year," Fox said. "That was a big play."
Emanuel (9-3) settled into a groove with those quick outs, retiring 11 batters in a row before surrendering his first two hits with two outs in the fifth inning. He gave up another pair of singles in the seventh but never seemed under duress.
His line finished as eight innings, four hits — all singles — with two walks. That went along with what he deemed as a "weird" game without a strikeout.
"They were in total swing mode the whole day. Even if I made bad pitches, it seemed like they were swinging and getting themselves out," Emanuel said. "I don't know how many times I've walked more dudes than I've struck out. It is kind of weird seeing a zero there."
North Carolina had one inning without a base runner and scored in the first, third, sixth, seventh and eighth innings.
Fox said the hit that sparked the Tar Heels came in the first inning. After Colin Moran had already stroked an RBI single, Brian Holberton hit a two-out, two-run single to drive in Landon Lassiter and Moran, who was 2-for-4 with three runs.
"Brian Holberton's two-out hit from (1-0 to 3-0) was really important," Fox said. "If we don't get a hit there with two outs and it's 1-0 … I think the game really changes."
Holberton and Skye Bolt each was 3-for-4, with Holberton adding an RBI double in the seventh.
The game ended on Stubbs' fourth hit — a shot down the left-field line — that allowed Moran to trot home for the game's final run.
Miami dropped to 35-22.
■ VIRGINIA 8, GEORGIA TECH 2: In Thursday's early game, Virginia starter Scott Silverstein recovered from allowing a run in the first inning to come within an out of a complete game. Silverstein (9-1) allowed 10 hits and struck out six.
Virginia was outhit 10-9 but got back-to-back solo home runs from Nick Howard and Kenny Towns in the fourth inning and another solo homer from Brandon Downes in the sixth. Mike Papi also drove in a pair of runs for the Cavaliers (46-10).
Zane Evans went 3-for-4 for Georgia Tech (34-24).
■ VIRGINIA TECH 3, FLORIDA STATE 2: In Thursday's late game, Mark Zagunis hit a walk-off home run in the ninth inning to give Virginia Tech its second victory of the tournament. Zagunis, who earlier tripled to drive in the game's first run, crushed a 2-0 offering over the left-field wall. The ball landed in a balcony above the Tobacco Road restaurant.
Virginia Tech can reach Sunday's championship game if it defeats Georgia Tech today.
Andrew Rash provided the other RBI on a sacrifice fly for the Hokies (37-19).
Florida State (44-14) rallied for two runs in the top of the ninth on RBI hits by Casey Smit and Josh Delph. The Seminoles have lost both their games in the tournament on ninth-inning home runs.

"The DNP has opened many professional doors for me. I moved into an top level executive position at my institution after completing my degree and I am quite sure that the combination of the degree itself in addition to the skills was essential in obtaining the position."
—Michele Lucatorto, Cohort 2, Master's to DNP Completion Program
More and more children and adolescents require treatment for mental health disorders, but a shrinking number of health care providers are available to help them, according to national health care experts. That's why Robert Morris University has become one of the first nursing schools in Pennsylvania to offer a doctoral program to educate nurse practitioners to provide mental health care for patients of all ages, including children.
RMU received a three-year, $923,000 grant from the federal Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to support this initiative, formally known as the Access to Interprofessional Mental Health Education (AIME) project. The grant will expand RMU's existing DNP program and allow for the purchase of distance-learning technology.
RMU's Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (D.N.P.) program prepares psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners to diagnose mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders, prescribe medications, and conduct psychotherapy.
A requirement for admission to the program is national certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), Adult Nurse Practitioner (ANP), Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (PNP), or Adult PMHNP. All students applying to the program will undergo a transcript review. Necessary pre-requisites include graduate level courses in Pharmacology, Pathophysiology, and Advanced Physical Assessment/Diagnosis. Other admission requirements include:
*If the QPA is below 3.25 the student may be given the option of taking the GRE for admission consideration
RMU's D.N.P. curriculum emphasizes teamwork and team building among health care practitioners, including physicians, social workers, pharmacists and others. In designing the program, RMU incorporated all five of the Institute of Medicine's (IOM) recommendations regarding the future of health professions education: patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teams, evidence-based practice, quality improvement and better use of informatics.
Two program options are offered:
The Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner program prepares advanced practice nurses to:
RMU's nursing program has a unique focus on business, communications, global perspective and technology in addition to strong clinical skills, and preparation for the licensing exam to become a registered nurse. Handheld computer technology enables students to store software applications and data at their fingertips. Students also learn to care for patients in state-of-the-art clinical facilities as well as in RMU's up-to-date nursing laboratory, where bedside computers and patient simulators assist in developing clinical decision-making skills. Students also have the opportunity to travel internationally to better understand global health issues.
The School of Nursing and Health Sciences faculty is committed to providing opportunities for you to be fully engaged in your college experience. Our high quality, practicing faculty members are acutely aware of the current healthcare environment and can provide expert guidance in navigating through the changing milieu of best practice for patients.
Program Director
Judy Kaufmann, Dr.P.H., CRNP, joined RMU in June 2007 as the D.N.P. program director after teaching at the University of Pittsburgh since 1995. As director, she oversees recruitment, administration and curriculum development, and also teaches. She has practiced as a nurse practitioner across the lifespan, with specialized experience in women's health, orthopedics and internal medicine. She holds a doctorate in public health from the University of Pittsburgh.
Robert Morris University accepts tuition payments by cash, check, money order or credit card (Visa, MasterCard or Discover). Tuition payments may be made to the Office of Student Financial Services by mail, phone (412-397-6260), or online via the RMU website at www.rmu.edu. Students should log in to Sentry Secured Services and go to Financial Status in eServices to use the ePay - PayNow option. ePay is available 24 hours a day to process credit card or check payments.

The Santa ClaraRiver is the largest river system in Southern California that remains in a relatively natural state, and in an effort to preserve this resource, the City of Santa Clarita will host the 19th annual River Rally Clean-up and Environmental Expo on Saturday, September 21, 2013 from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. The event will take place at the NewhallCommunity Center, located at 22421 Market Street. The river clean-up will involve removing trash from Newhall Creek, which is a tributary of the river running straight through the heart of Santa Clarita, from Acton to the Pacific Ocean.
Organizations and community volunteers must pre-register in order to participate via the GreenSantaClarita.com website or by calling the River Rally hotline at (661) 284-1415. The deadline to sign-up and participate is Friday, September 13, 2013.
All participating volunteers must wear closed-toe shoes, appropriate clothing for walking in the riverbed, and plenty of sunscreen. Gloves, collection bags, and refreshments will be provided to participants, and the first 1,400 volunteers will receive a commemorative giveaway.
In addition to the River Rally Clean-up, an Environmental Expo will be held featuring different ways individuals can help protect and preserve the environment. Attendees can gather information about recycling, air quality, pollution prevention, water quality, open space preservation, and wildlife conservation programs in Santa Clarita.
River Rally Clean-up is an important annual event, bringing together thousands of Santa Clarita residents. Almost half of the Santa Clarita Valley's water supply comes through the Santa ClaraRiver, which is home to 14 endangered bird species, six endangered plant species, 57 archeological sites, and 12 historical landmarks.
For more information on the 19th annual River Rally and Environmental Expo or to complete the required pre-registration forms, call the River Rally hotline at (661) 284-1415 or visitGreenSantaClarita.com.

An Outline of the Republic
An Outline of the Republic (Paperback)
Related Editions
Intrigued by a disturbing photograph of a woman, a young journalist in Calcutta embarks on a quest to learn the story behind the violent incident captured on film -- a strange odyssey that leads him to a volatile remote corner of India mired in civil strife and sustained by timber, drugs, and guns. Yet the truth he hopes to uncover is as uncertain as the mysterious woman he seeks, smoldering dangerously on the border between illusion and reality.
About the Author
Siddhartha Deb was born in northeastern India in 1970. His first novel, The Point of Return, was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. His reviews and journalism have appeared in the Boston Globe, the Guardian, The Nation, the New Statesman, and the Times Literary Supplement. He came to New York on a literary fellowship in 1998, and now divides his time between India and New York.

Need to Know Before You Head South
"South of the border" has always made me think of old westerns and freedom. I still get that feeling when I head south from my home in Scottsdale, AZ. Traveling on a long empty highway, watching the mountains shimmer like Latino dancers in the desert heat. The second I cross the border, I am immediately transported into another world, one that never fails to rejuvenate me.
I am obviously not alone; the statistics of travelers heading south prove that more and more people are heading to the border. But, unlike in the days of desperadoes, you can't just hop on a horse and flee south: there is planning to be done. Knowing some basic facts can turn a trip "south of the border" into a very doable escape.
Driving Across the Border
If you plan on driving your own car into Mexico, there are some very critical procedures and protections to understand and implement before you head south.Car Insurance
Your U.S. policy IS NOT VALID in Mexico, even if you "own a piece of the rock." Mexican insurance should be purchased before crossing the border. Sanborn's Insurance is one of the largest sellers with many different insurance plans. http://www.sanborninsurance.com
To bring your vehicle into Mexico, there are several things you will need:
Air Entry
If you are flying into Mexico you will be given a tourist card form. Simply fill out the form and present it to customs when landing. You will then be given the bottom of this form to use as your entry card. Take care of your form, as it must be surrendered when you depart. Mexican Customs runs on the red light/green light system. Simply step up and push the button. If green, pass. If red, your bags will be searched.
Weather or Not
One of the biggest considerations about traveling to Central America is the weather. Basically there are two seasons: the rainy season or the dry season. While temperatures do not vary all that much, there are differences.
The rainy season is winter–April through November–and is called Invierno. Inveirno is the slower season in terms of visitors. Prices are usually lower for lodgings and at restaurants. On the downside, some facilities and attractions may be closed in off-season.Traveling can also be hindered due to road closings. Generally, the rain falls heaviest in the afternoon so make your plans accordingly.
Verano, or dry season, runs from November through April. That is when the tourist facilities and attractions are operating at full steam. Your options for type of traveling are increased. The one time of the year that advanced reservations should be make is Holy Week between Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. This is especially true in cities and villages that stage festivals and celebrations.
Many people are amazed on their first visit to a drugstore in Central America. The number of drugs that can be purchased without a prescription has created a virtual business of buying of pharmaceuticals on visits and even online. While the prices are much lower, the same may be true of the quality of the drug. Many companies franchise the rights to "Name Brands" in Central America. If you buy something for your prescription needs, there are several precautions to take.
Generally speaking, Mexico and Central America are very safe, but it's a good idea to follow some basic safety rules.
Here are some guidelines for each country
Give Me a Call
Telephone service through out Central America can be frustrating at best. In most cases, try to avoid calling the States from your hotel room. After paying a $98 service charge on my first visit to Mexico, I have made it a rule. In several countries, such as Mexico, access to local phones is done by buying a phone card. Have the connection number for your long distance carrier.
A better and cheaper option is to use cybercafes, which are becoming more and more popular in Central America. That way you can contact a greater number of people with ease.
Traveler's Tales Books have an excellent book of stories that reveal the woven culture of Mexico's mysteries. Stories by Octavio Paz, Carlos Fuentes, and Charles Bowden, among many others, are sure to guarantee reading pleasure. A book on Central America is now in the works.

Kings and queens? Royal bloodlines? Coats of arms? Divine right? Palace intrigue? Coronations? Crowns and thrones? It's all right here, in the USA, where the kingdom of Hawaii flourished until a coup by American businessmen and their Hawaiian allies brought in the Marines and the "protection" of Washington, D.C.
The only royal palace in the U.S. ever used as an official residence by a reigning monarch sits in quiet majesty amid noisy traffic in downtown Honolulu.
On the palm-shaded lawn, the Royal Hawaiian Band is ending its noon concert with the haunting "Aloha Oe," perhaps the single best known piece of Hawaiian music, which was written more than a century ago by the deposed Queen Liliuokalani from her jail cell.
As the last melting notes fade away on a gentle trade wind, I step inside Iolani Palace and don a pair of purple booties over my shoes to protect the shiny floors. A docent starts right in.
"We had electricity here before the White House or Buckingham Palace." She pauses, then adds, "Flush toilets, too."
I sort of ice skate across floors of polished koa wood, inspecting the maroon-and-gold throne room, and the private quarters of King David Kalakaua, who built Iolani in 1882, and his sister and successor, Liliuokalani, who was overthrown in 1893.
The palace served as Hawaii's territorial capitol and then its state capitol until 1968. It was restored to its original grandeur in 1978 and is now on the National Register of Historic Places.
Hawaii was not always a single kingdom. The islands were united by King Kamehameha I, the Napoleon of Hawaii, in 1810 after years of battles and diplomacy. His statue, usually adorned with leis, stands across the street from the palace.
Millions of tourists speak the royal names every year. Street, hospitals, parks, schools and churches are named after royals. Waikiki's main drag is Kalakaua Avenue, named after King David. There is a nightly re-enactment of the changing of the king's guard at the King's Village Shopping Center, and ceremonies mark monarchs' birthdays year after year.
Two miles from Iolani Palace, halfway up a mountain, the Royal Mausoleum is set in a quiet park that affords a panoramic view of Honolulu's skyscrapers and the waves spreading white lace on the sand of Waikiki Beach. Kainoa Daines of the Oahu Visitors Bureau holds up a key and prepares to unlock the mausoleum gate.
"This key was first held by Kamehameha V, who reigned from 1863 to 1872," he says reverently. Daines says he has been fascinated by the Hawaiian monarchy since he discovered during a class genealogical project in elementary school that he has royal blood. "My grandmother of seven generations ago was a concubine of King Kamehameha V," he adds.
The Royal Mausoleum is the final resting place for six of the eight Hawaiian monarchs. Four of the five Kamehamehas (II, III, IV and V) are in one tomb, and King Kalakaua and Queen Liliuokalani occupy another. Absent are Kamehameha the Great (1810-1819), whose remains were hidden in accordance with religious practices of the time, and King William Lunalilo (1873), whose reign lasted only 26 days and who is buried in a Honolulu church graveyard.
At the Kamehameha tomb, Daines places flowers and says there has been a revival of interest in Hawaii's former kings and queens. "They were our beloved leaders, our inspirations for chants and songs. To know and honor them today is to know and honor our proud kingdom's heritage. The monarchy is a continuing affirmation of our history."
Royal sites also abound on the Big Island of Hawaii, and the most impressive is Hulihee Palace, which was built in Kailua-Kona in 1838. The handsome two-story home is built of native lava rocks and coral mortar and surrounded by a rock wall.
"The wall was built to keep the cattle out," says Puahau Chang, a palace guide whose soft-spoken, understated manner cannot mute his great pride and enthusiasm for the monarchy in general and Hulihee in particular. He holds up a hand in recognition of a soft breeze off Kailua Bay. "They came here when it got too hot in Honolulu."

Under the new law, solar panels will become a more common sight in the District of Columbia. Credit: Byron Stafford, NREL
The seat of power in the United States will draw increasingly on
renewable energy in the years to come, thanks to a new bill signed by
District of Columbia Mayor Anthony Williams in January. Following a
congressional review period, the bill, the "Renewable Energy Portfolio
Standard Act of 2004," officially became law on April 12th. The new
law requires electricity suppliers in the district to draw on
renewable energy for 4.5 percent of their electrical supply in 2007,
increasing gradually to 11 percent in 2022. Power suppliers must also
draw on solar power for 0.005 percent of their electrical supply in
2007, increasing to 0.386 percent in 2008. The law differentiates
between "Tier 1" renewable sources—defined as solar, wind, biomass,
geothermal, and ocean energy, or fuel cells powered by biomass energy—and "Tier 2" renewable sources, which include hydropower and waste-to-energy plants. Although Tier 2 sources are allowed to provide more
than 60 percent of the renewable energy requirement in 2007, their
contribution is phased out by 2020. According to the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), the new
law will result in 32 megawatts of solar power in the district by
2022. See the text of the law (PDF 22 KB), its official status, and the SEIA press release. Download Acrobat Reader.
Renewable energy requirements, often referred to as renewable
portfolio standards (RPS), are being adopted by an increasing number
of U.S. states. The New York Public Service Commission (PSC), for
instance, approved an implementation plan for the state's RPS in mid-April. However, some states are falling behind on their requirements.
In Massachusetts, for example, utilities fell short of a 1.5-percent-renewable requirement in 2004, resulting in $15 million in alternative
compliance payments that will be invested in new renewable energy
projects. Despite such shortcomings, a new report from Global Energy
Decisions projects that 52,000 megawatts of new renewable energy
capacity will be needed to meet RPS requirements over the next
15 years, with wind power providing more than 40,000 megawatts of the
needed capacity. See the press releases from the New York PSC
the Massachusetts Division of Energy Resources,
and Global Energy Decisions.

Quanitra Hollingsworth of Uni Seat Györ was named MVP of the EuroLeague Women Week 9, with an index rating of 30.
The American center had a stunning performance scoring 18 points and pulling down 17 rebounds in her team's road victory in Gdynia, including 14 defensive boards - a record this season. She ranks first in defensive rebounds per game (7.9) in the competition.
Hollingsworth, who has scored in double figures in all but one of her games so far this season, is not completely stranger to MVP of the Week status as she shared the honours with Ros Casares' Ann Wauters, on Week 2.
The American player's rating was a mere point better than that of Megan Mahoney (Cras Basket Taranto) and Erin Phillips (Wisla Can-Pack) who tied for 2nd.
Another Uni Seat Györ player, the talented Hungarian Rita Rasheed, tied for 4th with Galatasaray's Tina Charles.
