SAN DIEGO - The Miami University softball team started its spring break trip with a pair of losses on Wednesday. The RedHawks dropped a 10-2 decision in six innings to Southern Utah in a neutral site game before falling, 13-0, in the nightcap to host San Diego State. Miami is now 2-15 on the season.
A fielding error and a pair of walks in the bottom of the second would extend the inning and allow Southern Utah to score eight runs. Only one of the runs would be earned, while the Thunderbirds were able to make it 8-0 after hitting a grand slam home run.
Miami got two runs back in the top of the fifth. With one out, Allie Larrabee singled to left field and was replaced by pinch runner Brandi Hernandez. Jenna Modic singled to left field to move Hernandez up to second. Both runners advanced on a pass ball. Kylie McChesney followed with a single to leftfield to score Hernandez. The leftfielder mishandled the ball, which allowed Modic to also come around and score.
The Thunderbirds would add single runs in the bottom of the fifth and sixth to get the run-rule victory.
McChensey finished the game 1-for-2 with one RBI. Larrabee, Modic, Taylor Shuey and Remy Edwards each recorded hits for the RedHawks.
The high-powered San Diego State offense struck for three runs in the bottom of the first and two runs in the bottom of the third to take a 5-0 lead. The big blow came in the bottom of the fourth when the Aztecs scored eight runs to blow the game open.
Miami's best chance to score came in the top of the fifth when it loaded the bases on Megan Mattera's single, Kristy Arbour's walk and Tiyona Marshall's single. The 'Hawks would be unable to get a run across however, and San Diego State got the run-rule win.
In addition to her walk, Arbour recorded the other hit for Miami in the nightcap.
The RedHawks begin play in the San Diego Classic II tournament on Thursday when they take on UT-Arlington at 4 p.m. (EDT).

Looking for a computer, printer, monitor, networking cables or maybe even a new camera or camcorder? You've come to the right place! Start by thinking about where and how you will use the technology. If you work alone, a compact laptop might be the right choice. If you share a computer or a network, consider a desktop system with a widescreen monitor. Think you'll need to expand or add technology over time? Most machines and software are compatible and easy to integrate.
If you work from one home base, desktop computers may be the right choice for you. Customize your desktop with a widescreen LCD monitor that provides crystal-clear visuals for reading, design work or gaming. Want to see everything on the big screen? Now you can get an affordable widescreen monitor that's 24 inches or larger! You'll also need to consider how much memory you'll need in your PC. Choose a zippy 4 GB desktop for your standard work, or upgrade to a 6GB machine if you run more demanding programs, games or videos. And don't forget to add helpful software available at Office Depot like QuickBooks and Anti-Spyware.
All-in-one Desktop Computers
If you have limited desk space, or simply want all the features of a high-performance computer in a compact design, consider an all-in-one desktop computer. These machines house all the drives and other electronics inside the monitor instead of a separate tower. They feature widescreen monitors and plenty of memory; however, all-in-one desktops are usually more expensive than traditional desktops.
Want the freedom to take your office with you and work almost anywhere? A Laptop computer may be just what you need. Whether you want to check your email at the coffee shop, revise spreadsheets at the airport, or update your Facebook status from your patio, laptops offer the flexibility to do it all. At Office Depot, you'll find laptops in a variety of sizes and weights from all the top brands including Acer, Asus, Gateway, HP, Lenovo, Toshiba and many more.

Tips on making greener technology choices
Buy smaller. Generally, the smaller a technology item is, the less energy it draws and the fewer resources are required to produce it. For example, smartphones often require less energy and resources than tablets; tablets less than laptops and laptops less than desktops. And, if buying a monitor, LCD panels use significantly less energy than CRT (Cathode Ray Tubes).
Choose ENERGY STAR. According to the Department of Energy, Americans saved about $18 billion on their utility bills in 2010 by using ENERGY STAR qualified technology. Choosing ENERGY STAR qualified can help you save energy, lower utility costs and reduce your carbon footprint. Office Depot offers thousands of ENERGY STAR qualified options, in nearly all technology categories. To find out if a product online is ENERGY STAR qualified, look under the Product Details tab.
Go for EPEAT* Bronze, Silver or Gold Technology. EPEAT stands for Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool. Technology in certain categories are rated EPEAT Bronze, Silver or Gold based on the number of environmental attributes and eco-labels they have. All EPEAT rated products are ENERGY STAR qualified, but also may be made with less harsh chemicals/materials, contain recycled content, or come from manufacturers with environmentally responsible design and production standards. To find out if a product online is rated EPEAT Bronze, Silver or Gold, look under the Product Details tab.
* Full disclosure the Director of Environmental Strategy for Office Depot is on the EPEAT Board of Advisors.
Looking for the touchscreen convenience of a smartphone and the speed and power of a laptop? A tablet computer has the best of both! With fast online interactivity, tablets let you surf the web, send and receive emails, edit documents, watch movies online and take and view photos using a bright, easy-to-read touchscreen. Need to attend a virtual meeting? Use the convenient video conferencing feature. While laptops offer much more data storage, tablet computers boast an ultra-slim design and battery life of up to eight hours. Also, while the average laptop weighs six pounds, the average tablet weighs just one pound.
Netbooks are similar to tablet computers with one major difference: They have a laptop-like keyboard instead of a touchscreen. Although they're heavier than tablets, netbook computers remain portable, with screen sizes ranging from about 10 to 12 inches. Netbooks are great for checking email or searching the internet when you're on the move. Want to add a larger monitor or keyboard? No problem. Look for netbooks equipped with VGA ports.
Calculators may seem like they're slipping into obsolescence, but no other device serves its purpose with more precision. Whether you're a college or high school student or working in the financial sector, Office Depot can help you find the right calculator to get your work done. Scientific, printing and graphing calculators all available.
More Technology Choices
Monitors are available in a wide variety of sizes and resolutions. Most offer low- or no-glare coatings, which makes them easy to view even during your longest days at the computer. Even the widest monitors are ultra-slim, so they take up little desk space and they're easy to lift and reposition. Add a monitor riser, stand or adjustment arm to customize to your space and viewing comfort.
Printers, like most technology, have come a long way in the last several years. Many offer wireless networking so multiple PCs can use the same printer, and some let you print from your smartphone or tablet wherever you are. Choose a laser printer for high-volume, professional quality results, or an inkjet for fast speeds and bright, vivid colors. Need to print, copy, scan and fax? Go with an all-in-one and do it all from one machine. Photo and wide-format printers provide savings when you need to create large posters, fliers or simply enlarge and frame a favorite image. And remember your paper, ink and toner!
Networking Routers and Cables
Networking Routers and Cables are the foundation of any computer network. A router lets multiple computers share Internet access, files and more, but they're not all the same. Generally, lesser expensive models are fine for smaller homes and dorm rooms, while the more expensive models are faster, with more range and network security features. Be sure to choose the router that best suits your technology and budget.
Cameras and Camcorders
Enjoy the day and capture the memory. It's easy with today's cameras and camcorders, which help you produce professional-looking still images and digital video. For fast, high-quality images of your favorite people, places and things, choose an easy-to-use point & shoot camera. If you're a more advanced photographer looking for more control, consider a digital SLR camera. One-time-use film cameras are great for weddings and travel, and some are even safe for underwater use.

In 1971, Congress declared our wild horses and burros an integral part of our public rangelands and ordered the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to care for them as cultural icons. Over the years, the BLM has rounded up tens of thousands of our wild equines, often with cruel methods, and shipped them to tax-funded holding facilities where they are confined for the rest of their lives.
The BLM is again looking to apply the same failed model of round-ups and removals in revised management plans for wild horses out West. These plans must be altered.
If adopted, these management plans would decimate the wild horse population in the Wyoming Checkerboard, a two-million-acre mix of public and private land where nearly half of Wyoming's wild horses live. This is certainly not the free-roaming vision Congress set out for these majestic animals.
The good news is that you can help! The BLM is accepting public comments through Friday, September 27, on the potentially devastating revisions to Resource Management Plans that will cull wild horses in Wyoming.
Please be a voice for our wild horses before their time runs out. Visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center right now to quickly contact the BLM. Urge the agency to adopt policies that give horses their fair share of habitat and keep them on the range where they belong.
On behalf of the horses, we thank you!
Please let these beautiful creatures live out their lives in peace and freedom!
Leave the wild horse where they are! Big mistake to move them. What a travesty our country will allow this abuse of native species. Horrid!
Email sent. There's so little left of what made America a great country. Wild Horses are an integral part of our history. It's shameful what the BLM does to them !
These wild horses deserve compassion & safety & those in authority need to protect them. Please make the right choice.
BLM...You are so cruel. So inhumane...Let them be to do what they have done for hundreds of years...RUN FREE. Why can't someone stop this atrocity?
BLM, please leave the wild horses as they are: Wild.
Keep these beautiful, noble horses where they belong - in the fields, on the range. it is just plain horrifyingly wrong to destroy them, to hound them, to abuse them.
Why does the BLM do this? Is there a reason? Are the horses over populating? Of course I would want the wild horses to be left alone to live in the wild.
It's not right and you know it! They are born free. Let them roam free. This is their home..we are the visitors. Leave them alone. You disgust this nation! This is outrageous and I am urging everyone I know on Facebook to share what you are going to do to these beautiful creatures. Don't do it. We want our nations pride back!!! You are making this nation a disgrace!!!!!!
Please protect our wild horses. They deserve to be treated like the treasure they are.

What are the side effects of ARBs? With which drugs do ARBs interact? What are the available ARBs? What are angiotensin receptor blockers, and how do they work? Angiotensin II is a very potent chemical formed in the blood that causes muscles surrounding blood vessels to contract, thereby narrowing the vessels. This narrowing increases the pressure within the vessels and can cause high blood pressure (hypertension). Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) are medications that block the action of angiotensin II by preventing angiotensin II from binding to angiotensin II receptors on the muscles surrounding blood vessels. As a result, blood vessels enlarge (dilate) and blood pressure is reduced. Reduced blood pressure makes it easier for the heart to pump blood and can improve heart failure. In addition, the progression of kidney disease caused by the high blood pressure or diabetes is slowed. ARBs have effects that are similar to angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, but ACE inhibitors act by preventing the formation of angiotensin II rather than by blocking the binding of angiotensin II to muscles on blood vessels.

SAN DIEGO – The Miami University women's basketball team battled hard in holding San Diego State to only 37.2 percent (29-for-78) shooting for the game, but the Aztecs used their height advantage to gain 26 offensive rebounds and take a 75-64 victory Thursday evening. The RedHawks fall to 3-7 on the season, while SDSU improves to 2-6.
Senior guard Hannah Robertson nearly recorded her first career double-double, finishing with 13 points and nine rebounds. She was one of two Miami players in double-figures , as junior guard Kindsay Brandt led the RedHawks with 15 points.
It started out well for Miami as senior guard Haley Robertson and freshman forward Nicole Anderson hit back-to-back three-pointers to stake the 'Hawks to a 6-0 lead. The Aztecs responded by turning on their press and going on a 10-1 run to go in front, 10-7. After a bucket from sophomore forward Jessica Rupright, six straight by SDSU made it 16-9 with 8:49 left in the half.
Brandt drained a three-pointer to get the Miami offense going again. Hannah Robertson and sophomore forward Hannah McCue also hit three-pointers to put the RedHawks back in front, 20-18, at the 6:39 mark. San Diego State started getting offensive rebounds at that point and was fouled on its second chance attempts. It converted on its free throws to go on a 13-3 run to take a 31-23 lead. Brandt closed the half with another three-pointer cutting the deficit to five and sending the Miami into the break trailing, 31-26.
Miami hit 41.2 percent (7-for-17) of its shots in the first half, while holding the Aztecs to only 28.2 percent (11-for-39) shooting. The difference came in 18 RedHawk turnovers, as well as 12 SDSU offensive rebounds. Brandt led Miami with six points in the period.
The RedHawks took care of the ball much better in the second half, finishing with only eight turnovers. Hannah Robertson and junior guard Courtney Larson started the period by each hitting jumpers to make it a three-point game at 33-30 with 18:48 to go. After the Aztecs answered with a jumper, a three pointer by Haley Robertson cut the deficit to two at 35-33.
Miami's shot went cold as it was only able to hit one basket over the next eight minutes. San Diego State built the lead up to 13 at 53-40 with 10:25 to go. A jumper by Hannah Robertson stopped the bleeding, but the Aztecs eventually pushed the advantage to 15 at 62-47 at the 6:16 mark.
The RedHawks did not give up as a three-pointer from Hannah Robertson started a comeback attempt. A layup by Rupright followed by two free throws from Hannah Robertson cut the deficit to eight. On SDSU's next possession, Brandt stole the ball and hit the layup to make it 64-58 with 2:03 to go. That would be as close as Miami could get, as back-to-back layups by the Aztecs allowed San Diego State to push the advantage back to double-digits and finish off a 75-64 win.
Miami finished the game shooting 18-for-41 (43.9 percent), while SDSU shot 29-for-78 (37.2 percent) for the game. The RedHawks drained 10 three-point baskets, while holding the Aztecs to 2-for-13 (15.4 percent) shooting from behind the arc.
After taking a break for the holidays, the RedHawks return to action on Sunday, Dec. 29 when they host Cleveland State at 1 p.m. That game is part of a doubleheader that will see the men's basketball team take on Southern Illinois at 3:30 p.m.

LADY GAGA has been named "Glamour" magazine's Woman of the Year. She tells the magazine she's, quote, "Not conventionally beautiful" . . . but she adds, quote, "I've always been OK with that. I'm not a supermodel. That's not what I do. What I do is music.
A new biography on JACK NICHOLSON that hit stores yesterday claims that Jack and MERYL STREEP were DOING IT on the set of the 1987 movie "Ironweed". BIG TIME. The book says, quote, "Often during shooting, his Winnebago seemed to be balanced on four overworked Slinkys." The book also quotes an old newspaper gossip item from 1987 that said, quote, "Whatever is going on inside that Winnebago it's starting to get out of hand, to the point where it's embarrassing a lot of people on the set"
CHRIS BROWN is going to rehab. His rep says, quote, "His goal is to gain focus and insight into his past and recent behavior, enabling him to continue the pursuit of his life and his career from a healthier vantage point."
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are reportedly living apart in what's being called a trial separation. The two haven't been seen in public in more than two months and sources say Jada recently moved in with her brother. The couple is seeing how being separated works out and it might be permanent.
Kanye West is lobbying to get Kim Kardashian her first Vogue cover. He said, "There's no way Kim Kardashian shouldn't be on the cover of Vogue. She's like the most intriguing woman right now." He went on, "And collectively, we're the most influential with clothing. No one is looking at what [Barack Obama] is wearing. Michelle Obama cannot Instagram a [bikini] pic like what my girl Instagrammed the other day."

MILEY CYRUS says it was easier to be naked during the making of her "Wrecking Ball" video than it was to cry . . . because she feels more vulnerable crying. She also says the sledgehammer-licking just sort of happened because the director told her to, quote, "look like you're in love with it."
In a radio interview yesterday, KANYE WEST said there will be FIGHTER JETS at his wedding. He also said he and KIM KARDASHIAN haven't decided whether to televise it. But if they do he says, quote, "I would take as much as possible . . . because you know me and Kim are in the exploitation business. We get paid to exploit ourselves."
DR. CONRAD MURRAY was released from prison at 12:01 A.M. yesterday morning, after serving two years of a four-year sentence. His attorney said he was, quote, "elated" to be out. And his first stop was IN-N-OUT BURGER. He rolled in just before 1:00 A.M.
In his new autobiography, "Undisputed Truth", MIKE TYSON talks about how BRAD PITT once begged him not to beat his ass. It happened about a quarter-century ago, when Brad was messing around with Tyson's ex, ROBIN GIVENS. Tyson showed up at Robin's house, and Brad was already there. He claims Brad pleaded with him, saying, quote, "Dude, don't strike me."
CHRIS BROWN was released from a D.C. prison yesterday, after spending the night in lockup for allegedly punching a man. Brown's felony assault charge was reduced to a misdemeanor, and he pleaded not guilty. So did a bodyguard who was also arrested for hitting the guy.

OLIVIA WILDE and JASON SUDEIKIS are expecting their first child. A source says, quote, "They are incredibly happy. They're very excited to welcome a new member into their family."
Just because JUSTIN BIEBER is in between girlfriends, that doesn't mean he's not getting any. A Panamanian prostitute told a local newspaper that Justin sampled her talents in Panama City earlier this month.
Last week I told you ORLANDO BLOOM and MIRANDA KERR have split up after three years of marriage. Now, there are rumors that Miranda's obsession with JUSTIN BIEBER may have had something to do with it. They met at a party last year and spent HOURS together. Orlando wasn't happy.
CHRIS BROWN was arrested yesterday in Washington, D.C. for allegedly punching a guy in the face after he tried to photobomb a picture Chris was taking with two female fans. Chris reportedly said, quote, "I'm not into this gay [crap]. I'm into boxing." Then he popped the guy in the face, and so did his bodyguard.
At least three US publishers are locked in a battle for the rights to Angelina Jolie's autobiography, with at least $48 million already on the table. A publishing insider confirmed, "Whoever gets her will be sitting on a gold mine. Her book is guaranteed to top the bestseller lists in virtually every country on the planet and even an advance of that size would be recouped within weeks." Angelina says she's ready to tell everything, and believes that "the time is now right."

MARY MCCORMACK kicked her husband out of their house on Sunday after she found out he was messing around with KATHARINE MCPHEE. Michael Morris knew the photos were being shopped around, and he actually tried to buy them himself. But he was outbid by TMZ. So he fessed up to Mary, and she sent him packing. Katharine has been separated from her husband for six months, but a source says she's still, quote, "SO embarrassed she was caught" messing around with Morris.
PAULY D'S baby-mama claims she has texts from Pauly in which he tried to get her to abort the baby that was conceived during their Vegas fling. But yesterday Pauly said, quote, "Sometimes in life things aren't planned and they may even scare you at first, but they end up being a blessing."
ROBIN THICKE shared some advice he once got from his father, sitcom legend ALAN THICKE. Robin was staring at a pretty girl, and Alan told him, quote, "What if there's a prettier girl sitting two tables away? Now she's not going to feel special."
BRAD PITT has reportedly been STINKING lately, because he's given up using soap. He feels that it's full of toxins and it's both bad for the planet and speeds up the aging process. Instead he uses, quote, "a homemade concoction of lemons, water and apple cider vinegar."
Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr are over as husband and wife. The couple has split after three years of marriage. A rep for Bloom said. "In a joint statement, Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr have announced that they have been amicably separated for the past few months. After six years together, they have recently decided to formalize their separation." The two began dating in 2007 and were married in July 2010. Kerr gave birth to their son, Flynn, on Jan. 6, 2011.
10/24/13 Is Lilo Drinking Again?

Thursday, October 24, 2013
KIM KARDASHIAN reportedly KNEW KANYE WEST was going to propose, and she even told him what jeweler to go to for her ring. Kanye supposedly designed the 15-carat ring . . . but Kim told him to use Lorraine Schwartz, the same jeweler who made the ring KRIS HUMPHRIES gave her.
This probably doesn't make a difference since they both have more money than they know what to do with, but KANYE WEST reportedly won't make KIM KARDASHIAN sign a prenup. A source says, quote, "Kanye's in love with Kim to the point of infatuation . . . he thinks [a prenup is] tacky and he doesn't want to offend Kim or make anything seem awkward. He thinks of his money and his accomplishments and hers and he wants to share them with her . . . no strings attached."
CLINT EASTWOOD'S wife DINA officially filed for divorce this week. As you may recall, she had previously WITHDRAWN her papers for legal separation. There's no word what changed her mind . . . all she'll give for a reason is "irreconcilable differences." Dina is seeking physical custody of their 16-year-old daughter Morgan, plus spousal support and attorney fees. Meanwhile, Clint's latest fling, Erica Fisher, is reportedly living with him . . . and driving his Benz. And one of her sons is working as a production assistant on Clint's latest movie. Erica's ex-husband is a longtime friend of Dina's.
Is LINDSAY LOHAN still drinking? The paparazzi shot a picture of Lindsay through the window of a Hollywood Hills home . . . and it looks like she's reaching for a WINE BOTTLE. The picture was taken Tuesday night. Sources say Lindsay has ditched her sober coach, saying she can go it alone from here on out.
DINA LOHAN was in court yesterday for a hearing regarding her DUI. Outside the courthouse, her slimy attorney Mark Heller told reporters THEY caused Dina to drive drunk. He said, quote, "The circumstances leading to Dina's arrest were largely impacted by ongoing daily stresses caused by you folks, the paparazzi, media attention and distorted tabloid character profiles."

Joseph Rizzo, MD
2010 - 2011 Team Eye and Ear member
Has raised $54,681.78 for his Neuro-Ophthalmology Research
As a neuro-ophthalmologist at Mass. Eye and Ear, I am constantly inspired by my patients. Last year a number of patients and colleagues ran to help raise money for my research. I was very touched by their commitment, and I decided if they can do it, I should do it too.
So I hit the pavement and trained hard through the winter, keeping both my patients and all those who suffer from retinal blindness, in my thoughts and close to my heart.
My research, the Boston Retinal Implant Project, is dedicated to restoring vision to the blind. We are developing a computer chip-like device that can be placed around the eyes of patients with severe visual loss in order to restore some sight. The Boston Retinal Implant Project, which began at Mass. Eye and Ear over 20 years ago, is being conducted in collaboration with Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Research Laboratory of Electronics and the Boston Veterans Administration Medical Center.
Our overall goal is to improve the quality of life for the 1.6 million people worldwide who have lost their sight to retinitis pigmentosa and the millions more who are afflicted with age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of vision loss and blindness among Americans who are age 65 and older.
We will continue to work hard to achieve our goals. The funds we raise in partnership with John Hancock will allow us to develop our device more quickly. Together, we will both make a world of difference for those who are visually-impaired.

Contact this office for accepted insurance plans.
I chose a career in spine surgery because I enjoy the challenge of diagnosing and treating spinal conditions. It is very rewarding to see the quality of a patient's life significantly improve with proper diagnosis and treatment. I spend considerable time listening to and examining my patients to accurately determine the cause of their symptoms. I encourage patients to be active in their medical care. I enjoy educating my patients about their spine in order for them to make more informed decisions. My approach to treating the spine is to start with the most conservative modalities. I specialize in treating a full range of conditions affecting the entire spine including degenerative changes, trauma, and scoliosis. I exhaust all non-operative treatments before considering more invasive options. When surgery is indicated, I spend considerable time explaining the procedure to my patients and making sure they feel comfortable throughout the process. I stay current with the latest advances in treatment options in order to provide my patients with the highest level of care. I consider myself to have strong moral and ethical character. I treat my patients as I would want myself, my family, or my friends treated. From a technical standpoint, I take great pride in my work and accept no less than perfection. I strive to provide my patients with exceptional care and I am honored to have the opportunity to improve their quality of life.Personal Interests

Enjoy views of the Flattops, Sleeping Giant and Mt Werner on horseback! The first cattle were brought to Routt County in 1871 to utilize summer pastures. The Iacovetto family has passed our agriculture heritage through five generations.
Spend the day with us as we move cattle, check their health, bring in strays and make sure that everything on the ranch is running smoothly. Our Cattle Drive rides are unique as they are not "nose to tail" trail rides and no part of the day is "staged" so daily tasks vary. The horse riding pace on a Cattle Drive is usually slow, allowing for time to gain appreciation for the animals and make a four legged friend or two. We have horses for all riding abilities on all our riding activities.
On our dinner ride enjoy a 30-minute horseback ride to to our Double Dollar Lodge. After dinner take part in a calf roping instruction, ending the evening with a breathtaking Colorado sunset ride home.
Take Hwy 40 (Lincoln Avenue) west 10 miles towards Milner, turn left at mile marker 122 onto RCR 179, stay on RCR 179 for approx 3 miles (25 minute drive). The ranch is on the left side of the road. Follow the signs.
Guests must call the Saddleback Ranch to confirm ride time, riding abilities and menu choices. Please call at least 24 hours in advance.
The Cattle Drive and Two Hour Rides are offered Monday - Saturday; Dinner Rides are offered Mondays and Wednesdays. All rides take place June 1 - September 20, 2015.
For the dinner ride, the dinner menu choices are baked garlic salmon, teriyaki chicken, or marinated and grilled pork tenderloin. Childrens menu contains Hot Dog or Hamburger (children may also order from the adult menu). Entrees served with cowboy baked beans, ranch style potato, garlic vinaigrette salad, warm bread, and chef's choice for dessert. Iced tea and lemonade to drink. We have a wide selection of wines and several choices of domestic and microbrewed bottled beers are available for purchase.

LA GRANGE — Kinston's girls basketball team had a goal of finishing this week with three wins in three games.
North Lenoir became its latest victim.
Monique Lofton scored 21 points and Brittany Drumgoole dished out seven assists as the Vikings controlled every facet of the game possible in their 65-34 win over the Hawks at Wooten Gymnasium on Friday.
Takerian Harper added 16 points and Lydia Rivers had 10 points and 14 rebounds as Kinston (9-1) finished this week 3-0 heading into next week's Christmas tournament at Bunn.
"We wanted that momentum going into the weekend," Vikings coach Hubert Quinerly said. "To finish the week 3-0? That's huge. That's the goal we set coming off a big win over West Craven on Wednesday.
"The girls understood … we couldn't end a really good week on a bad note."
A swarming Kinston defense forced North Lenoir to turn it over on 23 of its 30 first half possessions.
The Vikings led 8-0 before the Hawks got on the board at the 1:46 mark of the first quarter on a pair of free throws by Quoya Porter.
North Lenoir (2-8) didn't score again until Porter hit a 3-pointer with 3:46 to go in the half. By the time she hit the trey the Hawks were done in.
"We defended the ball really well," Quinerly said. "We wanted to get a full steam ahead right out of the gate."
About the only thing that went wrong for the Vikings was their free throw shooting. As a team Kinston missed its first eight attempts and finished 11-for-23.
"Free-throw wise, that's our Achilles heel right now," Quinerly said. "We shoot a lot of free throws (in practice). It may not look like it in a game, but we do. We've got to do a better job of that."
Ta'Breia Foster scored nine points and had a team-high nine rebounds for the Hawks. Porter added eight points and Amanda Bizzell chipped in seven.
In addition to Drumgoole's seven assists — the sought-after junior scored only one point — she also had five steals, which were second to Lofton's six.
Kinston also limited its turnovers with only 14 compared to 33 for North Lenoir.
Both teams will participate in Christmas tournaments next week. The Vikings will participate in the Bunn Christmas Classic Dec. 27-29 and North Lenoir will be at Corinth-Holders Dec. 27-28.

Tommy Wilkins, a.k.a. "Tammy Walks" was happy with his life as one of the highest paid drag queen performers in New York City. He had a gorgeous apartment in Greenwich Village, men throwing themselves at his feet and he had lots of money in the bank. He didn't need the family that shunned him, the boyfriend that used to beat the hell out of him or even the gorgeous sexy linebacker looking Texan cowboy, named Anton "Ton" Forrester, that his friend Richard introduced him too. All he needed was himself.
But Ton wasn't going to give up so easily because you see, Tommy is his mate, and he wants all of him, makeup, heels, dresses and costumes included. He wants to heal every scar and make the smaller man believe in love again. There's only one problem, someone is determined to keep the two men apart, even if they have to kill Tommy to do so.

I really enjoy the world of books! Narration just add layers to that world... don't u think? :)
"Great Crisden Narration"
Cute follow up to the Tate Pack... Crisden is simply a great narrator... I just love his voice for m/m romance. He is perfect!
Good credit if you have any of the other Tate Pack books.
"Good M/M Paranormal romance"
No complaint except for the overuse of the word "copious." Be warned that this is not the book for you if you don't like a very feminine image, in fact a "cross-dresser", as a gay male in a relationship with an alpha male. Too, I like very much that this story includes some grunts and groans. Not a lot, but some. I like when I'm showed as much as I'm told what is happening. Enjoy.

Tyler Schofer and Charlie Holt each can recall the first state championship for The Elon School in boys' tennis.
Neither player was on the team, as Schofer and Holt were eighth-graders when the Commodores won the North Carolina Independent Schools Athletic Association Class 1-A state title in 2009.
But Schofer's father, Scott Schofer, was the coach of the team. Holt's brother, John Holt, was a sophomore that year for The Elon School.
"I didn't see him win it, but I definitely heard about it," Charlie Holt said of his brother. "That was pretty cool, something to look forward to. All the players were young and they still won the state championship, so I figured I've still got my shot to win a state championship."
Tyler Schofer said: "I just remember it was really unexpected. They had a pretty up-and-down season but just ended up … at the right place at the right time."
Now, Holt and Schofer have a chance to accomplish something they probably wouldn't have expected, either.
The two seniors lead The Elon School into Friday's state semifinal match against Greenfield School aiming for the program's fifth straight team championship.
Schofer and Holt have enjoyed a multitude of success during the past four years. Schofer's career record in singles and doubles matches combined is 122-11. Holt's record stands at 115-13. They've lost one doubles match this season, against Class 3-A North Raleigh Christian.
Holt has won five state championships — at No. 3 doubles and No. 5 singles in 2010, No. 4 singles in 2011 and No. 3 singles and No. 1 doubles last season. Schofer was No. 1 doubles state champion in both 2010 and 2012 and has been runner-up in No. 1 singles for three straight seasons.
With all those credentials in mind, it leaves the sense of urgency for the pair to end their high school careers on a high note.
"It's definitely a lot more pressure, you could say. Not necessarily to win, but definitely to prove ourselves," Schofer said. "Being three-time state team champion, with myself and Charlie, is kind of like, we don't want to go out our senior years … without a win."
The format for this season's state championships is different than previous seasons, with team championships being played as regular nine-point matches in the semifinals and finals.
But the venue — Barton College — hasn't changed.
It's a setting that Schofer and Holt — doubles partners since their sophomore season — relish.
"In doubles, I think we're probably the most vocal doubles team in the state, at our level," Schofer said.
Holt agrees, admitting that there have been a few instances when the volume of celebrations reaches excessive levels.
"Ocassionally, it's not a one-time thing. That's happened a few times," Holt said with a laugh. "You get on this train of getting more intense and more intense and then … there's always a time to kind of tone it down a bit."
Holt and Schofer both said the boost they get from the boisterous celebrations on the court greatly outweighs the few times it has gotten out of hand. It helps that coach Scott Schofer encourages the pair to celebrate.
"They both compete, they both want to win," Scott Schofer said. "That's what I'm trying to infect the rest of the guys with, because they refuse to lose.
"They get out there and they're behind in some matches, they win. They figure out a way, hit certain balls, play certain shots."
The Elon School figures to be in good shape after dismantling Flora MacDonald in a quarterfinal match Tuesday. The Commodores didn't drop a game in six singles matches and three doubles matches, garnering singles victories from Schofer, Holt, Sebastian Zuhr, Tanner Cates, Davis Budd and Philip Kowalski.
"When you get into states, you're going to be evenly matched. It's going to be who's going to play better that day," said Scott Schofer. "We just don't have the depth that we had for the last couple years.
"I think sometimes for them, they kind of expect to win all the time. I have to keep telling them 'You've got a target on your back, everybody is going to be gunning for us.' "

It's another to do a closed retreat for at least a week or two to get a real taste of the meaning and effect of the practice.
I have never done very long retreats, but I have done 5 to 7-day retreats before. I have also done some nyungnes.
Adamantine wrote:Similarly, it is good to make an aspiration to go to some of the powerfully magnetized holy places that sing with the enlightened energies of the great lineage masters. This will also really help you to resolve some doubts and understand cultural contexts.
Well, I have been to some holy places... but I can't really talk about it. I was on a very difficult trip with my lama... it kind of freaked me out... maybe I have some form of PTSD. It took me a long time to be able to remember details from the trip. I kind of blocked it out. I also can't remember much about my life before the trip. The situation in Tibet is very sad. Tibetan monks/nuns show great courage in the face of adversity every day there. I hope that the monks and nuns who were so kind to me are okay now...
Adamantine wrote:But a pilgrimage to a Buddhist country where the political situation isn't so difficult might feel quite different.
I have read some of their stuff. I like them. I also like Tsem Tulku Rinpoche. But right now, I feel compelled to at least visit the sanghas of non-Vajrayana Buddhist traditions. I especially want to try Soto Zen. Actually, my lama told me that my meditation posture is lousy, so if I improve it with the Zen Buddhists, I am, in an indirect way, following his instructions, and also I could make other Buddhist friends closer to where I live.
Adamantine wrote: However, if the question is of leaving the Guru and the tradition behind entirely versus continuing ngondro -then your teacher would probably prefer you to focus on a different practice.
That's an idea. One of these days, I will need to write to him to explain things, just out of courtesy if nothing else. But I am not sure about the value of practicing Vajrayana for a long time without completing ngondro and advancing. Zen is appealing to me because there is no advancement and nothing to grasp after: It's about letting go and letting things be as they already are and zillions of preliminaries aren't required in Zen in order to give oneself the gift of simplicity.
While it's theoretically possible to be a student of a lama and only to practice shamatha and basic pujas forever, in reality, other Vajrayana practioners will look down at such a person because the "higher" practices, or at least the desire to do them, is often what is respected. In Vajrayana, there is often the disease of always looking ahead to the next practices. It's often harder to appreciate the present while practicing Vajrayana.

Practical Difference between Point-and-Shoot and DSLRs
A point-and-shoot camera is the compact digital device that elementary schoolers now get as Christmas presents. It's usually under an inch thick and has a large digital screen where you see the image you're about to take. Point and shoots have one irreplaceable built-in lens and are generally smaller, lighter and more portable than DSLR's.
"DSLR" stands for digital single-lens reflex (camera). These are the bigger, bulkier cameras that professional photographers and enthusiasts use. DSLRs have interchangeable lenses depending on your needs, which makes them very adaptable for different situations. This means that if you're shooting close-ups, you can use a specific lens that will produce the best image for the situation. Likewise, if you're shooting landscapes, you can switch to a wide-angle lens to capture the image in its entirety.
Technical difference between Compact and DSLRs
A regular compact camera uses two lenses to capture an image. One lens goes to the image recorder (either film or flash memory) while the other goes from the physical lens to the viewfinder. This duality works fine when shooting at mid-range distances (optimal range for the built-in lens), but once you want to capture an image close-up or in wide angle, the image you see on the viewfinder doesn't accurately reflect what's being captured.
With an "SLR" (single-lens reflex), there is a mirror and prism mechanism that allows a photographer to see the actual reflection of the image that's about to be captured with only one lens. Up until 3 or 4 years ago, you had to look through a physical viewfinder to see the image you want to capture with a DSLR and then use digital screen only to preview the photo. Newer DSLRs now have the capability of showing you a preview of the image on the screen before taking the picture.
So...do you need a DSLR?
DSLRs are far more powerful than regular point-and-shoot compact cameras. If taking pictures were the same as computing, the point-and-shoot and DSLR difference is comparable to owning a tablet and a computer. A point-and-shoot will do fine if you're taking pictures of people who pose for a camera and are always in brightly lit areas, but if you're capturing movement, unpredictable emotions or milestones, we definitely recommend investing in a DSLR. Image quality is far more superior with an SLR than with a regular point and shoot. Vibration Reduction (VR)/Image Stabilization (IS) lenses produce sharper images due to reduced noise. Having interchangeable lenses lets you find the ideal kinds for specific situations, and the ability to add a flash, use a remote trigger and a number of professional accessories are just some of the DSLR benefits.
Going back to the computing analogy however, if you only need to get on the Internet to check Slickdeals and your email everyday, it makes more sense just to get a tablet than a computer. Bringing the analogy to photography, if you don't particularly enjoy taking pictures, then maybe sticking with your camera phone is sufficient.
Before you buy...
If we've managed to convince you that you do in fact need a DSLR (and not all of you do), here are a few things to consider before making your first purchase:
Brand Consciousness
Unlike most point-and-shoot cameras, brand is actually very important when it comes to DSLRs. The best lenses are usually exclusive to the brand, so when you buy a Canon camera body, you are most likely going to get Canon lenses. The same goes with Nikon, Sony or Panasonic. There are a few brand-agnostic manufacturers (e.g. Sigma, Tamron) who provide the same types of lenses across brands, which may have a few gems in their lineups. Adapters are available to switch from one to the other, but most camera enthusiasts would warn you to stay away from them. The two largest and most popular brands of DSLRs are Canon and Nikon and though there's a premium for the brand, the accessibility of deals and lenses for these two are worth the initial investment. For Slickdeals in particular, we've seen a number of Canon deals on our front page, usually 10-20% cheaper than Nikon ones, and considerably cheaper than Sony and Panasonic.

18-55mm VR Lens
The most important thing to remember here is that your shot will only be as good as your lens. Even the cheapest DSLR paired up with a good lens can produce images that will trounce a $5,000 camera with a mediocre lens on it. Quality lenses also keep their value should you ever decide that you are tired of swapping them (and get rid of the whole setup).
On the technical side, the Focal Length is a measure of distance where an image focuses. The magic number for camera lens focal length is 50mm. This is the distance where magnification is the same as that of normal vision's. When a lens is less than 50mm, it's considered a wide-angle lens and sees more than the eye can see. This would be ideal for landscapes and longshots. Lenses longer than 50mm are telephoto lenses, ideal for capturing close ups and focusing on specific targets.
Most camera starter kits come with an 18-55 lens and many brands have lineups that can complement the kit, such as the Canon 55-250mm or Nikkor 55-200mm as beginner zoom lens.

Canon EF-S 18-200mm $399

You can buy your accessories as you build your collection, but the one thing you'll need off the bat is a reliable camera case. It would be a shame to lose a $500 investment because of a $10 case. The neoprene covers are fine if you're planning on keeping your camera within a sturdier bag, otherwise, it's best to get a thick name-brand bag that will protect your camera and carry your lenses through events like picnics, graduations and hikes. An immediate second on the list would be a multi-coated UV filter to make images sharper and to protect the lens from dust and scratches.

A&E has cancelled their crime drama, Breakout Kings after two seasons and 23 episodes. It seems this case is closed.
Breakout Kings follows a squad of U.S. Marshals who make special deals with prisoners to catch escaped convicts. The cast includes Laz Alonso, Domenick Lombardozzi, Brooke Nevin, Malcolm Goodwin, Serinda Swan, and Jimmi Simpson.
The series debuted in March 2011 to a 1.2 rating in the demo with 2.8 million viewers. The ratings declined in later weeks and the first season finale drew a 0.8 rating with 2.01 million.
Loading ...
In March 2012, the second season debuted with a 0.8 rating with 2.11 million. In that episode, many viewers were shocked to see Alonso's lead character Charlie abruptly killed off. Alonso later told fans that leaving the show was not his idea.
Over the course of season two, the ratings for Breakout Kings further declined, hitting a low of a 0.5 rating with 1.27 million. The finale aired last month and A&E has decided they don't want a third season.
Of the cancellation, Malcolm Goodwin (Shea on the series) tweeted, "So Breakout Kings is canceled. Thx to all 4 the luv & support over the last 2 seasons! It's been a fun experience! Much luv! On to the next."
The news comes soon after co-creator Matt Olmstead was signed to run NBC's new fireman drama, Chicago Fire.
What do you think? Are you sorry that Breakout Kings won't be back for a third season? Did Alonso leaving the series influence your watching the series?

Fantastic personalization
I love that I was able to personalize almost every aspect of the design, even after I bought them. Once I was emailed the proof I was still able to make changes which shows a great level of customer service. The cards I received were beautiful, high quality and the best I could have asked for. I also really liked the packaging which included invitation samples of different paper types. It was a thoughtful addition to ensure that I continue being their customer for my other wedding stationary needs and it worked!

JON CARDINELLI predicts a comfortable rather than convincing win for the Springboks in Edinburgh this Saturday.
Scotland have been a team on the relative rise, following a shock win against Australia in 2009 with a big victory over Ireland in the Six Nations. They went on to win a series in Argentina, and the more optimistic punters claimed they would be competitive against New Zealand and South Africa in late 2010.
While they deserved to win the aforementioned matches, special mention must go to the poor quality of opposition. Australia were awful in that loss, and Ireland went on to lose three more fixtures in succession, a losing streak that was only snapped by a scratchy win over Samoa. Argentina have been similarly disappointing, the 2007 World Cup semi-finalists sneaking home against lowly Italy last week.
The All Blacks provided some perspective with a 49-3 hammering of the outclassed Scots. While they're capable of catching any team on a very bad day, Scotland cannot compete when the southern hemisphere teams show any sort of form. Even though the All Blacks didn't have everything their own way at scrum time, they still held the ascendancy in other areas. If the All Blacks didn't lose momentum in the latter stages, they may have surpassed 60 points.
The Boks are without many of their first-choice players, so we shouldn't expect the same attacking fluidity that characterised the All Blacks performance last Saturday. What we can expect is a determined forward showing, as the Boks will look to produce a consistent effort after the erratic display in Cardiff.
Their scrum is in for a challenge, with British & Irish Lions tourists Euan Murray and Ross Ford supplying the necessary power to the Scottish pack. But as a unit, the Boks boast the better tight five. An accurate showing at the set-piece will allow their ball carriers to build the same kind of momentum that proved so unstoppable in Cardiff. The platform-setting aggression paved the way for Willem Alberts and Victor Matfield's second-half tries.
Deon Stegmann, Juan Smith and Ryan Kankowski are an inexperienced back-row combination, but should enjoy the benefit of playing behind a dominant tight five. Kankowski has a lot to prove in the ball-carrying stakes. Until the point when the home resistance crumbles he will be asked to play a more bruising role than he's accustomed to.
Andy Robinson has picked a big Scotland pack in hope of combating the robust South Africans. Traditionally a lock, Nathan Hines is moved to flank to give the Scots more lineout options, and bring more grunt to the all-important battle at the collisions. If the hosts cannot stifle the Boks in this area, then they will cop another hiding.
The severity of the beating depends on whether the Boks click or not. They have played well in patches on this tour, showing an appreciation for depleting a defence and attacking from the right areas, but then also exhibiting a tendency to make bad decisions and run the ball from poor positions. They'll need to exhibit some tactical intelligence before unleashing finishers like Gio Aplon and debutant Lwazi Mvovo this Saturday.
It could be that Scotland opt to test South Africa's new-look back three with the high ball. To do so would run the risk of exposing themselves to the counter-attack, and as seen in last week's outing, Scotland's scramble defence isn't great. While the Boks shouldn't embrace a looser game, they must punish Scotland's errors. Again, it comes down to decision making of when to counter-attack and when to play for position.
Because of the injuries and the lack of established combinations in several departments, the Boks won't complete a rout in Edinburgh. They will achieve a comfortable win though, one that gives them momentum for their all-important clash with England, but offers little insight into how youngsters like Pat Lambie may fare in a starting capacity.
