Unearthing more ways to make money is always a good thing, especially in today's cryptic carwash business. Operators all over the world have learned that every dollar counts. And, in the interest of offering customers even more selections, now may be the time to uncover new products that can be placed in your carwash.
Owners have long known about the advantages of cold sodas and carwash supplies. Today, there are a number of new products that carwashes can add to provide even more ancillary revenue. From impulse items (see sidebar) to greeting cards, these offerings can easily fit in any carwash lobby or sales area.
Sure, it can be a bit intimidating to pry apart the business plan and sell products that do not involve suds and soap. But, honestly, no drastic changes are needed. In the grand scheme of things, a carwash can still provide customers a comfortable waiting area. The only real difference will be the oodles of high-profit products displayed right within the customer's reach.
Greetings, carwash
Though the first automated carwashes appeared decades ago, it took several years for greeting card companies to take notice. Eventually, they figured out that these types of washes were great venues to sell product in, according to Scott Austin, president of SNAFU Designs Inc.
Greeting cards have proven to be a good product choice for carwashes because they are very popular and are always in demand. Every day, millions of people in the U.S. are having birthdays, and approximately 7 billion cards are purchased by consumers in this country every year, Austin said.
"When you consider the potential sales per square foot that a greeting card display offers, it is really a no brainer that most stores should carry them," Austin explained. "Individually a card is relatively inexpensive, so people rarely think twice about buying a card if they like it or need one."
Carwashes actually have an advantage over other retailers when it comes to selling greeting cards, Austin stated. Unlike the crowded aisles of a drug store, a grocery store or a gift shop, most carwashes only have one waiting area for the customer. Every customer who enters this area would see the cards on display making it easy for them to browse and buy greeting cards.
"It's a generalization that's true, women love greeting cards — they buy an estimated 80 percent of all cards sold each year," Austin said. "And carwashes are a great place to sell a card to a man who is often in need of a card at the last minute. As long as you have this captive audience, why not sell them some cards?"
Strategic displays
All greeting card companies or distributors will provide display racks for their greeting cards, and they usually offer several different options, Austin explained. Greeting card companies will normally provide greeting card signage to stores as well. Austin's company provides a sign for the top of the display rack, and their greeting card orders always include an eye-catching wall or window poster. These signs and posters visually promote the fact that a carwash is now carrying a fun line of greeting cards.
The best place to install the greeting card display is in the areas where customers naturally congregate, Austin said. This can be close to a sitting area, by the window where customers watch their car being washed or near the cash register where the line of paying customers usually forms.
Austin noted that the main key to whether greeting cards will be a success in a carwash is how neat and tidy the display is kept. If the appearance of the card display is messy and unorganized, customers will not even look at the cards. Thus, it is important for an employee to take a few minutes each week to straighten up the cards and display rack.
Getting carded
"You can start selling greeting cards for as little as $100," Austin said. "Most card companies have a variety of different sized display fixtures from which to choose."
If a carwash owner would like to select the cards themselves, greeting card companies provide catalogs featuring all the designs in the card line. If not, often owners can order a "bestseller package." Here, the card company will consult with the carwash owner on the size of the order he or she would like to place, Austin said.
Greeting card orders are usually shipped from the card manufacturer to a business via UPS or FedEx. If an account is outside of the contiguous U.S. — Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, etc. — the U.S. Postal Service is often used.
Holiday craze
The most popular card category is birthday cards, Austin revealed. Birthday cards should make up at least half of the cards a business offers customers because they make up 60 percent of the cards given each year. Regarding holidays, Christmas and Valentine's Day are the two that generate the most card sales for retailers.
While Austin has not heard of carwashes offering any sort of holiday greeting card promotional program, he said one could be put together easily. One example he described would be offering a customer two free greeting cards of their choice with the purchase of a carwash. This would equate to a $5.50 value. "There are a lot of ways one could incorporate the greeting cards they carry to promote their carwash," he said.

Roll over the map to access regions and towns
Selected: Church in the village Gradno
One of the main attractions of the Brda region are the houses, grouped densely together into villages, and the church at the top of the hill. Each of the churches has something to offer to visitors. In the church in the village Gradno, the painting of the Crucifixion of Christ, done by the local artist Zoran Mušič during WWII, is worth seeing, as well as the works by the artist Lojze Spacal, which are on display in the same church.

(Nairobi, Samburu, Laikipia, Naivasha, Masai Mara)
Kenya is a land that will captivate your heart, stir your soul, and inspire your mind.
Thrill in the sights and sounds of a country with abundant diversity. Trek desertscapes and lush green hills of the Great Rift Valley, one of the world's natural wonders, scouting lions, elephants, giraffe and rhinos. Your personal guide will take you out each day through some of the best game parks in all of Kenya. In the evenings, luxury tented camps and lodges offer a refined and serene setting to contemplate your day.
Explore Samburu National Park for sightings of the Grevy's zebra, the largest of the zebra species that is unique to the region. Take a picturesque drive through idyllic Kenya and head for Laikipia, where you can visit the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, the only place in Kenya this extraordinary species can be seen. Head for Lake Naivasha and boat across to Crescent Island to get you up close with some portly hippos and all variety of birdlife. Cross into Masai Mara for the best game viewing in the entire world. Survey open grassy plains and watering holes for lions, rhinos, leopards, cheetahs, and elephants. Take in the spectacle of the annual migration of Thompson's gazelles, zebras and wildebeests, a highlight of any safari.
Kensington Tours offers local support in each region you visit, another reason we deliver unbeatable value. Enjoy a personalized vacation that best suits your needs, developed by one of our experienced destination experts. Relax during your trip with our 24/7 support and expert local guidance.
While you are in the care of Kensington Tours, your safety and security are our number one priority. As such, in the unlikely event of serious illness or injury, all Kensington Tours clients are covered by "Flying Doctors" Insurance policy. This emergency evacuation insurance covers the cost of the evacuation flight back to Nairobi for treatment. This insurance policy however DOES NOT cover the cost of any medical treatment received. We highly recommend travel insurance for full coverage.
A privately driven vehicle will provide you with a transfer between the hotel and airport. After your guide has loaded up your luggage you will be driven through Nairobi admiring some of the sights (time permitting). Your guide will brief you on your itinerary en-route.
This morning you'll meet up with your guide and head off to Samburu National park. The drive from the urban center of Nairobi, through the fertile highlands, the semi-arid frontier of Kenya is breath-taking and a great way to see the countryside. The drive will be about 5 to 6 hours.
Your skilled guide will take you on an afternoon game-viewing drive through the sandy Samburu desert region.
Early this morning you'll meet up with your guide for your game drive. One of the amazing things about Samburu is that you'll most likely see species that are unique to this region. The Grévy's zebra (Equus grevyi), also known as the imperial zebra, is the largest species of zebra. It is found in the Samburu area as well as parts of Ethiopia. Compared to other zebras, it is taller, has larger ears, and its stripes are narrower. Grévy's zebra is considered endangered, partly due to hunting for its skin, which fetches a high price on the world market. It also suffers habitat destruction, human disturbances at water holes and competition with domestic grazing animals. There are estimated to be 17.000 Grévy's zebra still living in the wild. With luck, you'll see some today!
Another species unique to the Samburu region is the gerenuk. With luck, you'll see some while on your game drive. It's amazing to watch them stand on their hind legs to eat! The gerenuk (also known as Waller's gazelle) is a long-necked species of antelope found in dry bushy shrub and steppe in East Africa. The word gerenuk comes from the Somali language, meaning "giraffe-necked", and leads to its other common name, the giraffe-necked antelope.
This morning you will leave Samburu and drive to Laikipia. Along the way you will see amazing scenery as you drive through rural Kenya, spot Samburu villages and more as you drive. This drive takes about 2 hours.
You will have the option of visiting the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary today. The sanctuary is the only place in Kenya where this highly endangered and remarkably intelligent species can be seen.
The Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary opened in 1993 in a negotiated agreement between the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and the Jane Goodall Institute. Here the animals are carefully nursed back to health and integrated into families. The chimpanzees live in two large groups separated by the Ewaso Nyiro River. Watch them romp and play, visit the local shop, or even sponsor a chimp!
Visitors to the Ol Pejeta Conservancy have free access to the Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, which is open daily from 9:00am to 10:30am and 3pm to 4:30pm.
Your guide will drive you from Laikipia to Lake Naivasha, through the rift valley. This drive will take about 5 hours.
Sign up for optional activities on-site. Activities include Crescent Island boat tour, hiking and day trip excursions to Mt Longonot and Hell's Gate, or simply walk along the lakeshore and relax at your lodge.
*Activity fees vary and are paid on-site to the lodge and/or park authority.
Your guide will drive you from Naivasha to Masai Mara. This drive will take about 5 to 6 hours. Drive times may be longer in the rainy season (April to early May and November). Stop for refreshments and souvenir shopping at roadside stands along the way or head straight to the park. Enjoy game viewing as you enter Masai Mara and drive to your camp.
Head out this afternoon, accompanied by an experience tracker-guide, on an exciting game viewing adventure. Search some of the area`s wildlife hot-spots determined by your guide, as they`ve learned and now understand the games daily routines through tracking. Some wildlife is more difficult than others to spot, for instance the Leopard. These spotted cats blends almost seamlessly into the tall grass and shrubbery, and are even more challenging to spot up in their favorite hangout, the trees. Your guide will take you to nearby watering holes, where on a hot day, you`ll spot many bird and wildlife species, including the elusive Leopard.
The famed Masai Mara Game Reserve was named after the indigenous inhabitants of this land, the Maasai, and the provider of life to the area, the Mara River. Game viewing is almost guaranteed at some point along the Mara River, and your experienced tracker-guide will know all the best spots to go to maximize this chance to see some of the many bird and wildlife species here. Have your camera handy, as some amazing photo opportunities will present themselves from elephants on the riverbanks to hippos in shallow water.
On today's afternoon game drive, the choice is up to you: search for the Big 5 or expand your horizons to discover something different. Masai Mara not only has a rich mix of animals – it also has an incredible array of bird life with almost 450 different species.
Transfer between Mara Park and Nairobi by road. Includes stops at souvenir shops and refreshment stands. One hour of road is badly potholed.
The opportunity to explore the local markets and shops presents itself today as so you can interact with the local vendors in search for the perfect handicraft or souvenir for yourself or your loved ones.
Before leaving that night, stop by the Kensington office for free use of Internet and lounge. If you like, we can make reservations for dinner at a local restaurant as well. Please let us know in advance and if you are vegetarian.
Situated in the trendy new Upper Hill financial district of Nairobi, Crowne Plaza Nairobi is the model of modern five-star elegance. The property embodies an ideal fusion of thoughtful design and indulgence, and comes ripe with opportunity to discover nearby Nairobi National Park to see big cats and giraffes at the Masai Mara game reserve. Earthy textures and dark wood throughout Crowne Plaza Nairobi evoke the wild plains and acacia trees of Kenya's big game reserves. The property offers a host of amenities and facilities including a luxurious health club, a stylish unisex hair salon, a 24-hour state of the art gymnasium, and an outdoor swimming pool. Five floors comprised of 162 Rooms, 13 Suites, and 29 Club Rooms are all equipped with the latest in technology, high speed complimentary Internet, Wi-Fi, minibar, in-room safe, tea and coffee facilities, and 24 hour room service.
Samburu Simba Lodge is a relatively new lodge, situated in the Buffalo Springs National Reserve, part of the larger Samburu system. Removed from the beaten path of topical tourist circuit, the lodge is ideally located on the banks of the Uaso Nyiro River, the lifeblood of this arid area. All rooms and central areas have views of the river and the nearby waterhole, where large herds of elephants and other wildlife come to drink. The lodge has two luxury swimming pools, a restaurant and bar, curio shop and expansive conference facilities. Enjoy unobstructed views of game along the river banks and the waterhole from either your room terraces, at the lodge, or from restaurant.
A sheltered oasis, clustered around a water hole and set in the pristine calm of the private Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Sweetwaters Tented Camp offers a charming blend of under-canvas ambiance and safari luxury. Located on the plains of Mount Kenya, the camp features39 luxury tents, each with its own private veranda overlooking the water hole. The central Rhino Restaurant is housed in the former manager's house of this once colonial farm, and offers both regional and international cuisine. Also within the house is the Kashoggi Bar and lounge, which centres on a blazing log fire. The Waterhole Bar, built in the style of a game-viewing hide, overlooks the waterhole and offers unrivalled wildlife-watching.
Like an African castle in the sky, Sopa Lodge Naivasha spins wondrous safaris from natural treasures below the golden Kenyan sun. It is situated on the southern shores of Naivasha, the largest freshwater lake in the Great Rift Valley. Let this dazzling resort of 21 cottages prepare you for mouth-dropping silence. Feast on the succulent meats and preparations of the hotel's talented chefs. Allow your eyes to indulge in the scenery and wildlife that draws so many to visit this hotel, built for open views of nature's activities at their most untouched. Make sure to wander around the compound. You will be enchanted by the fine architecture, cathedral ceilings, and grand windows. Stroll around the gardens, and take a swim. It's hard to leave this heavenly escape.
Nestled against a wooded thicket and surrounded by savannah, Mara West combines luxury accommodations with the breathtaking adventures of an unforgettable African safari. The rooms are perched in secluded spots on the edge of the Oloololo Escarpment, offering guests panoramic views of the Masai Mara Game Reserve below and a sense of exclusive privacy. The camp is home to resident herds of gazelles, impalas and zebras, as well as an abundance of bird life, and is visited regularly by a variety of wildlife passing to and from the park. The stunning beauty of the Mara, the uninterrupted grazing of the antelope, the night calls of the bush babies, and the early morning chorus of songbirds, all this, combined with the comfortable and tasteful ambiance of the camp, is part of the Mara West experience and what makes it a unique paradise for nature lovers.

"We were a group of 5 to Morocco. We were impressed at how seamless our private guided tour went. Accommodations were five star, the choice of family run hotels, beautifully appointed with Moroccan furnishings and large breakfasts, contributed to our experience. Our guide, Ishmail and driver, Abdul, made us feel like family. Ishmail showed off his country with pride, listened to our needs and was flexible to our style and speed of travel. We couldn't be happier with our Kensington experience beginning with the pre-planning in the US with Lily Baffour. Thank you very much for a memorable experience! "

"Our guide, Chakim, was fantastic, and our driver was excellent. We were very pleased with our accommodations. Only negative comments would be the villa in Essaouira (room, food, service not good although people very nice), and, while probably not an issue for other travelers, we were disappointed that we could not relax over a glass of wine at the end of our journey because Hotel Le Doge did not offer alcoholic beverages. We are currently scheduled with Kensington Tours for India in November and we are now planning on scheduling with Kensington for all our trips - right now that would be Thailand to Mynamar, and Egypt with Dubai extension. We are extremely happy with Kensington Tours and their travel agents. We would recommend Lily Balfour to anyone. "

"Christine was absolutely superb both in helping us frame and develop a custom tour as well as in constant follow up until we left. Inevitably things will change on the ground when trips are planned in advance and Christine was consistently on top of the changes and advised us accordingly. As first time travelers to Kenya and Tanzania Christine's advice and guidance was simply excellent. Rose, in Kensington's Nairobi office was likewise superb. Totally responsive to our needs, she helped make a few final adjustments while we were there. Once again, an exceptional experience made possible by Kensington."

Many went above and beyond to make our experience even more positive. From drivers, to guides, to hotel staff---we met some wonderful people that we can now call friends. Thank you Christine and Kensington tours for this once in a lifetime African adventure!"

"Christine, our family trip was ALL we wanted it to be. The hotel accommodations in the cities were GREAT. We needed to make some room assignment adjustments but that's to be expected with a large family with children and same names.
I don't know where/how ya'll got those guides but...KEEP'EM! In both Cape Town and Joberg the guys knew their cities and environs excellently. Their English was very good...so good in fact that several got the sarcasm and even joked some. I do apologize if we over-tipped. I relied on each family to tip their own driver but, I wasn't sure of their "sense of what was right" so I followed up with something for each.
Simbavati was "PERFECT". As much as Glenda and I really liked Ngala, I do not think they could have handled a family as well...UNLESS, they had accommodations we did not see.
Please rest assured when ever I plan to travel on a multi-dimensional trip in the future, for sure with a group, or maybe just Glenda and I, I'll be calling Kensington... Christine and Donna specifically. And most definitely, anytime I can recommend a travel professional, your company and you two will be mentioned by name!
Thank you again Christine...you presented us the exact trip we dreamed about for our family and your folks on the ground made it happen! I sincerely hope you, Donna and everyone else involved have a most Blessed Christmas and a wonderful, successful New Year!"

"Morocco has a lot to offer. Food, historic sites, craftsmen (rugs, jewelry, ceramics, furniture, etc.), natural beauty, roads and infrastructure, and a reasonably safe environment. Both Guide (Abdel) and Driver were excellent. Service-oriented, timely and easy going. Abdel was not afraid to speak his mind, offer suggestions and give us feedback on ideas. We enjoyed their company."

"A truly wonderful trip......first class accommodations and service in each venue....the guides were knowledgable and went out of their way to insure that we could see and understand Africa. Capetown is a fascinating city, Sabi Sands an extraordinary private game preserve, and Zimbabwe with Victoria Falls and the Victoria Falls Hotel a once in a lifetime experience. For those who want to visit Africa we enthusiastically recommend Kensington Tours. And Jolene Plant stayed with us in every step during the planning of our trip and itinerary. We saw as much of Africa as much as anyone can during our two weeks vacation."

"This was one of the most amazing trips that I have ever had. The custom tours and activities exceeded my expectations. I was traveling alone but felt safe and in good hands. The process of booking the trip with Lily Baffour was so easy and personal, especially with the constant communications from her up to my departure. Thank you Kensington Tours for an awesome experience. I will definitely use you for my next adventure!"

Springbok wing Bjorn Basson will be sidelined for six weeks after undergoing emergency surgery on Saturday.
According to the Blue Bulls website, Basson sustained a tear to his intestines in Saturday's play-off match between the Bulls and the Crusaders.
Basson was subsequently operated on and news from the Bulls' camp is that the winger will remain in hospital for five more days. It will be a further five days before he is fit enough to fly home to Pretoria.
It's been confirmed that Basson will not return to the rugby field for at least six weeks. While the injury will have no impact on the Bulls' Super Rugby campaign (Saturday's defeat to the Crusaders knocked the Bulls out of the tournament), it will limit Basson's involvement in the Rugby Championship.
The six week layoff means that Basson will miss the Boks' first two Tests against Argentina.

Once upon a time there was a guy named Johnny Won who wanted to fall in love, fairytale style.
"I always wanted to get married, even at a young age. You grow up watching all these shows on TV, where they fall in love the second they see the right person. I bought the fairytale, I totally bought it," says the 30-year-old, who went to high school in Irvine.
Thing is, "it" never happened. He had one girlfriend in high school, but then no relationships the entire time he studied mechanical engineering at UCLA, and then not even as he began to pursue his career as a systems engineer at a firm in El Segundo. We're talking nada. Nothing. Zip.
"I didn't want to waste anyone's time. So, if I didn't feel it, I moved on."
Was anybody telling him, "Johnny, you're too picky! Johnny, what's the matter with you?"
"Uh, yeah. Pretty much my whole family. And all my friends," he says now with a laugh.
Meanwhile up in Northern California, a young Taiwanese woman named Ashley Liu was studying fashion merchandising at San Francisco Academy of the Arts. She had dated a few guys but nothing serious, and anyway, her student visa had almost expired and she planned to return to her country. But right before she was to leave, a woman she knew at church stopped her after the service to chat.
"She said, 'It's a pity you didn't meet anyone here. I wish I knew someone nice to introduce you to,'" Liu, 29, recalls. "Just then her son, Timothy Chang, who had also gone to UCLA, said, 'Wait! I do know someone!' I thought he was joking."
So imagine her surprise when, two weeks later, after she was well ensconced back in her life in Taipei, Taiwan, she gets an email from the woman at church asking if it's all right to forward her email to this nice young man named Johnny, who was also in the church. "I thought, just to know someone, to be friendly, why not? So I said OK."
Cut to Won, whose friend Timothy Chang was pitching him the idea of contacting this girl in Taiwan he'd never even seen, let alone met. The idea turned out not to be as far-fetched as it sounds: Coincidentally, he already had tickets to go to Taipei, of all places.
"I had already planned to go with a buddy of mine," says Won, an ethnically Korean all-American, who doesn't speak a word of Mandarin or much of anything but English. "We had wanted to go there and just party -- but things quickly changed. It's even weird how things kind of came together. This all was planned before I had even heard of Ashley."
So serious is Won about romance that he took two weeks contemplating whether even to send her an email. "I was praying about whether I should consider it. I needed some sense of peace about contacting her. I knew she was a quality person, he says.
And then, there's Facebook.
"The stalker within me came out -- I started looking at her pictures!" he admits. "I was reminded that I had passed by her picture before on Facebook because of our mutual friends at church. I remembered thinking, 'She's really pretty but she's probably married.' She looked like someone who would be taken."
But on Dec. 21, 2011 he took a deep breath and hit "send" on a Facebook message—never imagining that one year and a day later, they would walk down the aisle in a garden ceremony at Five Crowns in Corona Del Mar in front of nearly 100 friends and family.

San Diego Chargers Tickets
San Diego Chargers Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews
2013 Record: 9-7 The San Diego Chargers were a Kansas City Chiefs made field goal away from missing the 2013 playoffs. Fortunately, Ryan Succop's kick went wide right and the Chargers were playoff bound. It was head coach Mike McCoy's first year with the team and the new system was a breath of fresh air for Philip Rivers. Rivers, the NFL's comeback player of the year, was sensational throughout the year talling 4478 yards and 32 TDs with only 11 INTs. He led the team to a 27-10 victory of the Bengals in the AFC wild card game before the Chargers fell to the Denver Broncos in the divisional playoff round. The Chargers offense, which jumped to number five in the league in 2013, was also led by the dynamic backfield of Ryan Mathews and Danny Woodhead as well as outstanding rookie Keenan Allen. Allen's presence (1046 yards) was a big reason for the reemergence from Rivers. Rivers and the offense, however, will have to head into the 2014 without their offensive coordinator from last season. Ken Whisenhunt who brought the offense from 31st in the league to 5th moved on to take the head coaching job in Tennessee. If they 2014 Chargers want to be successful they must avoid the let down games. Too many time last season the Chargers did not show up for games they certainly should have won. In an increasingly competitive division the Chargers will have to bring their A game week in and week out. Head to Gold Coast Tickets today to get in on the action!

As the youngest of three children, I've never been able to shake the label of being a little scattered, irresponsible and unprepared. And well into my 30s, I was still chafing at that, even though through circumstances and, OK, bonehead moves, I had regularly perpetuated the myth.
But, back in 1991, I was a fully employed, newly married adult, so I decided to put some of that teasing to rest by planning a fantastic Christmas day adventure for my somewhat reluctant family.
We lived an hour from Colonial Williamsburg, which was offering fire-lit, hearty Christmas day breakfasts in all of its historic inns. Thoughts of country ham and spoonbread and oysters danced through my head as I made our reservations. And yes, kids, with no Internet; I had to order the brochure, pick the tavern we wanted and call to reserve a table for six at Christiana Campbells.
Even my truculent brother decided to forego his traditional Christmas day hunt to come along. Truthfully, my husband, my mother and I were the only ones enthused by driving to Williamsburg – the coldest, dampest place in Virginia in December – for breakfast and a chilly stroll to look at the historically accurate decorations. But everyone behaved until we got to the tavern, where we were informed that not only did they not have our reservation, but the second and final breakfast seating had started 30 minutes ago.
Flop sweat does not begin to describe the wall of shame that descended upon me and – because he is a very sympathetic person – my husband. The "screw-up" monologues began immediately – each family member taking a turn. And again, kids, this was the days before cell phones, so my father suggested we retreat to the roaring fire in the lobby at the Williamsburg Lodge and use the guest services phone to try and fix this. Four phone calls later, they found our reservation – at Kings Arms – and told us we had five minutes to hustle over for the seating.
We made it. Alcoholic drinks were promptly ordered, the fire crackled merrily, the food was hearty and satisfying and the grumbling stopped. Until I tried to the pay the bill with cash. Credit cards only. The look on my father's face was priceless as he handed the mob-capped waitress his card and I shoved my cash over to him.
I stopped trying to prove anything after that, and truthfully don't remember what I ate. But because even bruised family memories are still poignant, I'll share a time-honored Williamsburg recipe my mother perfected for peanut soup, which you can serve with or without eating crow.
Since it's loaded with chicken broth and peanut butter, it's also a comforting and strengthening soup for this winter's round of colds and sniffles. It's great served right out of the pot or gently heated the next day. Add shaved, cooked country ham for a rich taste. A dash of sherry would also be a welcome addition.
3 Tbs. butter
1 onion, chopped fine
3 stalks celery hearts, chopped
2 Tbs. flour
4 cups chicken broth, hot
1 cup peanut butter
¼ cup half & half
Salt to taste
Couple shots of your favorite hot sauce
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Juice from half a lemon or 3 Tbs. sherry
In a large saucepan, melt the butter and sauté the onions and celery over low heat until softened. Add the flour and stir and cook about five minutes. Don't let it brown. Stir in the chicken broth, increase the heat to medium-high and cook and stir until soup starts to thicken – 5 to 7 minutes. Lower the heat and stir in the peanut butter, cream, salt, hot sauce and cayenne. Let it heat thoroughly without boiling, and then add the lemon juice or sherry.

Air Force report falls short in fighting sexual assaults, victim advocate says
Thursday - 11/15/2012, 12:11pm EST
The Air Force is calling for reform in a new report on sexual assault.
The proposal follows an internal investigation into a widespread scandal at Lackland Air Base near San Antonio. More than a dozen male instructors are accused of harassing, abusing and even raping nearly 50 female recruits.
As the service released its report yesterday, critics were quick to say it's not enough.
"After reading the report last night, I could see things from Gen. [Edward] Rice's perspective, but I also saw that there were some things lacking," said Jennifer Norris, a victim advocate at the Military Rape Crisis Center in Maine. "I could see how overall the lack of leadership put in the right places could have created that culture there, because there wasn't enough oversight of the military training instructors."
To address some of the concerns, the report recommended creating four-person training teams with at least one member being a female. The Air Force, however, doesn't have enough females certified to conduct training to fill all of those slots.
Even if those positions were filled and the recommendation was followed through on, Norris told The Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp Thursday she was uncertain this would do enough to address the problem.
"It depends on whether or not this culture of fear is dealt with," she said. "If females are in positions where they're working with other males that seem to have closed the ranks and have decided that they're going to go their own way, the female is just going to get caught up in that again."
Another recommendation calling for a female to have a "buddy" at all times may also be unrealistic.
"In the military, that's not always possible," said Norris, who is a former member of the Maine Air National Guard. "I was one of the only women in my career field, which is satellite communications. So, if I don't have a buddy and I get raped, it's might fault because I didn't have a buddy?"
The report focused on a leadership gap existing at Lackland, in which one officer was in charge of up to 1,000 airmen and noncommissioned employees.
"The lack of oversight and the lack of supervision is going to do exactly what it did, which is it made the instructors — the ones that did abuse the system — feel powerful and feel like they could get away with what they got away with because they didn't have good oversight," Norris said.
The training period is the Air Force's opportunity to introduce recruits to the military, so it benefits the service to have the best of the best representing the Air Force, Norris said.
"The recommendation to have tech sargeants from now on be military training instructors is definitely a good one, because they're going to have more experience in the military," Norris said. "They're going to have more supervisory experience. They're going to be more cultured and more mature. So, yes, that does make sense as far as that goes. But, again, that doesn't mean, just because someone's a higher rank that's going to prevent a sexual assault."
Norris, who spent 14 years in the military and even considered becoming a training instructor for a brief time, found the report lacking in other areas as well.
First, the offending individuals at Lackland closed ranks and put themselves above the core values of the military — integrity, excellence and service before self.
"For those of us who take that seriously, if you come up against people like that who have closed ranks, you're already the odd man out," she said. "It's going to be hard to break down that cultural barrier of misogyny or 'We don't think women should be in the military' or 'You're only good for sexual objects.'"
While the report outlined punishments for offending airmen and officers, more needed to be done to change the military culture that was feeding the abuse and letting individuals think they could get away with bad behavior. "The punishments weren't made clear that 'Listen, you're going to lose your career if you do this," she said
Norris, who is a member of the advisory board Protect Our Defenders, said that group would continue to urge Congress take up the fight against sexual abuse in the military.
"We've had over 25-plus years, if not longer, of documented sexual assault and rape problems in the military," she said. "If they haven't fixed it by now, they are not going to. We have determined that they cannot police their own."

These days, it can be said that racing bicycles has become the new "golf." We've all seen a "Race" bike where every square inch is made up of feather-weight carbon fiber (including the bottle cages), everything on the bike is aerodynamically designed to reduce the wind drag coefficient, and the drivetrain is… well, robotic. We've also seen how much these engineering marvels we call road bikes can run for. For the privateer racer and/or cycling enthusiast, dropping $5,000+ for something that doesn't pedal itself may be unrealistic and downright blasphemous, and unless you're a sponsored pro, you seek a steed to do it all. Do yourself a favor and take a gander at the Focus Cayo Evo 2.0.
Perhaps, you train and race regularly, but also enjoy the occasional conversational coffee shop ride or century for a good cause, the Focus Cayo Evo 2.0 is a rock-solid, performance-driven machine that delivers a high-end build that can win a road race or two, or three, and then get you comfortably through a Gran Fondo. At the end of the day, the Cayo Evo is a full-blown race horse which offers an aggressive, chiseled frame that can sprint, corner, climb and descend with bikes that are double the price. On top of the race-ready geometry, the Cayo Evo frame is packed full of top-end design features such as: a liquid-shaped designed top tube, lateral reinforced comfort seat stays, a tapered head tube, integrated cable adjusters, internal Di2 cable routing, full carbon dropouts, and a PF30 bottom bracket.
Built up with Shimano's revolutionary Ultegra Di2 (Digital Integrated Intelligence) electronic group, the Cayo Evo 2.0's drivetrain performance would be right at home amongst the pro peloton. Shimano Ultegra Di2 is directly cascaded down from Shimano's Dura-Ace Di2 group, bringing the world's only smart drivetrain to the broadest range of riders. If you've never had the enlightening experience of testing out Shimano Di2, you might be wondering what all the hype is about. First off, Di2 is all about its unsurpassed ease of use, meaning not only is the interface physically easier to engage, but maintenance is almost non-existent. Let us explain.
As contaminated cables and housing are the number one cause of degraded shifting performance, the Di2 system replaces cables and housing that constantly need readjusting with its E tube wiring system. The E tube wiring is durable and waterproof, and requires nearly zero maintenance once you've set it. To set the system, you simply plug into your PC (not MAC compatible) and let the provided E tube project software take over. The E tube Project software is insanely user friendly and accurate, making customizing your shifting effortless. Once set, it remains in tune for the life of the system, providing consistent shifting performance in any weather condition, regardless of the rider's fatigue. Upon purchasing the Cayo Evo 2.0, the Jenson USA bike build team will update the firmware using the most current version of E tube Project software, enabling the Multishift function. Incase you aren't familiar with the Multishift function, it allows the rider the option of holding down the rear shift button and having it run through multiple gears.
Once all the techy stuff is out of the way, it 's then time to swing your leg over and get personal with Ultegra Di2. The Ultegra Di2 shifters are more ergonomic due to the fact that they don't have to be built around a mechanical system. The lower volume shape and 10mm of reach adjustability enables proper fit for a wider range of hand sizes. Since we are creatures of habit, the shift buttons are positioned exactly the same as the mechanical Ultegra group, so no "getting used to" needed there. The biggest difference is the greatly reduced effort needed to make a shift. Instead of pushing the lever, you now merely make the same effort as clicking a computer mouse.
Where Di2 really shines is in its derailluers. The front and rear deralleurs are programmed to communicate seamlessly to provide faster, smoother, and more accurate shifts at the touch of a button. You'll see and feel the biggest difference over a mechanical set-up is in the front shifting. The front derailleur always knows the location of the chain on the cassette, allowing it to automatically move or trim the cage to one of 6 positions, virtually eliminating irritating chain rub. Again, there is no adjusting cable tension to compensate for increased friction, leaving little to no room for human error. One handy feature to mention about the rear derailleur is, that should you run out of battery, (which you're given ample of indication before this should happen), the rear derailleur will automatically move the chain to the biggest sprocket, ensuring you the easiest gear for pedaling home. You should know that the rear derailleur has the capacity to handle a 28 tooth rear sprocket.
Lastly, the Shimano Ultegra Di2 uses a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery that fully charges in 90 minutes (1 ½ hour), and lasts approximately 1,000 miles before needing to be recharged. The Ultegra and Dura-Ace Di2 groups use the same battery and charger, allowing it to be used on either or. Upon purchasing the Cayo Evo 2.0, the Jenson USA bike build team will fully charge your battery so that the bike is ready to ride out of the box. The full Ultegra Di2 group weighs a scant 80 grams more than its mechanical counterpart, but when you think about less tuning-headaches and more riding, the 80 grams difference becomes obsolete.
The Focus Cayo Evo 2.0's race-optimized, Di2-only frame works seamlessly with the Shimano Ultegra Di2 platform to bring forth a bike that is begging you to summit, sprint, corner, tuck, and celebrate across the line. However, when it's all said and done, the Focus Cayo Evo 2.0 is for anyone who prefers riding bikes to wrenching them.

this is the best bike deal ever! for the price, you're paying for the gruppo and getting a free quality bike. German engineered Focus bikes speak for itself as it remains the Ag2r chocolate soldiers' bikes in the pro peloton. the bike is fast and responsive and lightweight at 17lbs. if you do not own a di2, try one out and it will make you a believer.
thanks to Tom and Jensons Corona.

I got this bike as an upgrade, the price you cant complain, I ride an average of 200miles a week, whats great is the price for di2 system, the components are not too bad... the not so great the wheel set is heavy, but upgrade can be done stock this bike comes in at 17.1lbs small frame, I upgraded my handlebars and stem to 3T carbon, upgraded the crank to standard dura-ace 7900, Bottom Bracket to dura-ace 9000, cassette to dura-ace 7900 11-25, chain dura-ace 7900, and wheels to dura-ace 9000 c24.. i brought the bike down with nothing on it to 14.2lbs, after putting on pedals, computer, two water bottle cages with filled bottles, my top tube aero nutrition pack, my aero wedge tool kit, and lights the bike still weighed in at 16.87lbs, thats lighter then the stock weight, like i said i ride about 200mi a week and this bike is outstanding, its amazing on climbs and if you have the leg strength 11-25 cassette and standard cranks well yes a 12% grade climb is going to suck but hey just push through it and you'll be faster for it, over all this is the greatest bike i have ever owned, i have had a trek madone 5series, and a trek speed concept 7.0, and a cannondale evo. all great bikes but this bikes tops them all...

I have been riding a '12 Cannondale SuperSix and this is my first Focus bike. The geometry is on the aggressive side compared to my canny, but after flipping the stem it was more forgiving on on fondo rides. This bike is great for fast rides when hammering down the local river trails in addition to the longer fondo rides. I have put this bike through 1500 miles since late August and I am really please with the results. If you are looking for a fast bike with an aggressive profile and still like to go on longer rides, then look no further.

Comments about Focus Cayo Evo 2.0 Di2 Bike 2013:
I love this bike, it's an upgrade from my previous carbon frame bike as far as ride quality and responsiveness. The Focus Cayo Evo 2.0 is fast and stiff yest it doesn't beat you up with a harsh ride. The only thing I say about Ultegra Di2 is "flawless", it is that good. I got the 57cm frame, which is dimension wise the same as my previous 58cm frame except the Cayo has a slight sloping top tube for better stand over clearance. The 120mm stem was a little long for me so I swapped it out for a 100mm. The wheel set is a it heavy but seem very durable and strong. I was able to shave the 17.8lbs down to 16.25lbs. By changing the wheel set to my carbon DuraAce C50's, shorter stem and installing my Selle Italia saddle. Overall a great buy!

Thanks to Kemi King at Jenson for helping me figure out that this bike would suit me best; great,friendly service and quick delivery. This bike is amazing. I'm cat 1 mountain/ cat 3 (ish) road rider and I'm on the bike 4-6x each week. The cayo evo has an amazing ride quality and accelerates and feels so much better than my aluminum road bike, significantly better. The ultegra di2 components are a work of art and perform flawlessly thus far. The finish is pretty and with the sale price of this item I'm convinced this is the absolute best bike/component value available. I'm very pleased with it not to mention this brand (Focus) podiumed in TDF this year... German engineering.

Bike handles very well. Good power transfer (i.e., you move forward on the pedal stroke). Holds lines very well, solid at speed. Comfortable for several hours in the saddle. Fits 28mm tires, which help with both speed and comfort. Just raced it 12 hours for my best finish on the year, so it will take the place of both the tri bike and the steel-framed touring bike for long-distance race-format events. Look past the awkward paint scheme -- this is a winner.

Bought this bike looking for Di2, something a little lighter, and something that would give better power transfer. Have used it so far just once in a 12-hour time trial. It's a winner. Comfortable over the long haul. Faster, I think, than my tri bike or go-to steel road bike in an all-day time trial format. Handles well when asked -- the bike leans very nicely. Can run 28mm tires, which greatly increases the comfort. Di2 is all it is cracked up to be and more.

i have parkinsons and have had it for over 1 year. i take tylenol for the pain and it helps.
I have osteoarthritis in my hands that gets painful at times. Tylenol products really help alleviate my pain a lot, and Tylenol PM works great at night.
Ineffective for fibromyalgia. Generally, not very good at treating other types of pain as well. Can be hard on liver if taken chronically. Why do doctors and hospitals give out this drug like candy? A sugar pill would suffice and be gentler on your liver.
I find that, for pain, Tylenol is utterly useless. I used to use it for my children when they were babies concurrently with Ibuprofin, for relief of high fevers, but I don't even keep it in the house anymore. And who needs liver damage from something utterly useless?
waste of money not at all no side effects
Knocks you out I have become a chronic insomniac in the last two years and have found that paracetamol (tylenol) is very useful for 'knocking you out' when it's 3am and your sleeping pill has failed. It is very good at deadening an over-active brain and is also very good at relaxing your muscles when you are very tense and can't sleep for that reason too. The only concern I have is the reputed liver damage that even regular doses of paracetamol can cause with longterm use. Still, I'll takes my chances. This is a very useful drug-- and not just for headaches. I am practically a patron of GlaxoSmithKline what with all the empty packets I have lying on my bedroom floor.
I used it for pain, it works well.
Tylnol I find this a big help to help me make it though a day,as I don't like taking prescription pain medication.I have no side effects from using it, and it is alot cheaper

|BAM! Emeril Lagasse Visits All Children's Hospital to Help Tackle Childhood Obesity
Take more than a dozen active kids. Place them in a garden with potted plants, shovels and a famously energized chef and what do you get?
When the chef is nationally known Emeril Lagasse, you quickly get more plants to tend and some enthusiastic talk about the importance of healthy ingredients - from "Farm to Fork," as the title of his latest book preaches. It's only fitting that Emeril dug in with local kids while visiting Zoe's Edible Garden at All Children's Hospital on Monday May, 16. The common cause of improving children's health through healthy eating also led Emeril to announce a special benefit appearance this fall for All Children's Hospital. On November 4, 2011, Emeril will visit The Club at Treasure Island for a special, intimate evening of stories, amazing cuisine and his one-of-a-kind mastery of the culinary arts, benefiting All Children's Hospital.
Like Lagasse, All Children's Hospital is drawing attention to the benefits of kids' healthy eating - through programs like its Fit4Allkids Family Weight Management and Fitness program, and through interactive education in the recently dedicated Zoe's Edible Garden just outside the hospital's cafeteria. A gift from local Chef Tyson Grant and his wife Sommer, Zoe's Garden memorializes their daughter while providing a lesson on where healthy foods come from for hospitalized children and outpatients alike.
Perhaps the most famous chef in all of America, Emeril Lagasse is a graduate of prestigious Johnson & Wales University. Lagasse launched his career as the Executive Chef of New Orleans' landmark Commander's Palace. Currently the owner and operator of self-titled restaurants in Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada and Pennsylvania, Chef Emeril has also written 15 bestselling cookbooks and starred on TV shows across the dial.
In 2002, he also established the Emeril Lagasse Foundation to support non-profit organizations that provide educational programs, life skills development, culinary training and cultural enrichment, creating opportunities in the communities where Emeril's restaurants operate. Improving children's access to and knowledge of healthy foods is among his Foundation's goals.
In recognition of this valuable work and the planned November benefit for All Children's Hospital, William "Bill" Edwards, president and owner of The Club at Treasure Island, arranged for the Cities of St. Petersburg and Treasure Island to declare Friday, November 4, 2011 to be "Emeril Lagasse Day." St. Petersburg Mayor Bill Foster and Treasure Island Mayor Bob Minning presented Chef Lagasse with the official Key to the Cities.

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA), Chairman of the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee (JEC), released the following statement after today's announcement from the U.S. Department of Commerce that the U.S. trade deficit in goods and services decreased to $46.0 billion in February from $52.5 billion the previous month.
"While the narrowing of the trade deficit means that trade was less of a drag on growth in February, it would be more reassuring if our exports had expanded to a greater degree than they did. Our economy remains vulnerable to the unfair trading practices set in place by China. Currency manipulation is threatening our trade advantage and harming our American workers.
"The Currency Exchange Rate Oversight Reform Act of 2011 is vital legislation that aims to protect our workers and manufacturers from currency manipulation. Countries who engage in such detrimental practices should be held accountable. The Senate passed the bill by wide margins and I encourage our House colleagues to follow suit.
"As our nation continues to recover from the recession, lawmakers must make every effort to support our workers and ensure there is an even international playing field."
Today, the Census Bureau reported that the U.S. international trade deficit in goods and services narrowed by $6.5 billion to $46.0 billion in February. Exports of goods and services increased by $0.2 billion while goods and services imports fell by $6.3 billion. The over-the-month decline in the international trade deficit was the result of a $6.0 billion decrease in the goods trade deficit and a $0.5 billion increase in the services trade surplus. More than three-quarters of the decline in the U.S. trade deficit in goods reflected a drop in imports of goods excluding petroleum. The bilateral trade deficit in goods between the U.S. and China declined by $6.7 billion to $19.4 billion in February, following an increase in January.

I was wondering why you haven't contacted your insurance company. I know my insurance company considers this an act of vandalism and repairs are no cost to me with no raise in the premiums. I had my window shot out over Christmas and they took care of it. No problem. it just seems to be the way to really go as nobody is ever going to say " I did it here's 500 bucks". Sorry but that is just reality.
That's a good point, if you haven't talked to them already it can't hurt to call and ask about it. I really hope you'll get lucky and insurance will help you out.

Prep softball: How high will Arlington's Eagles fly?
Arlington returns three All-Wesco North first-teamers from last year's team
Genna Martin / The Herald
Arlington's Lynsey Amundson was the starting catcher who also played in the outfield and pitched last season, and was an All-Wesco North first-team selection. Amundson batted .690 with 13 doubles and drove in 29 runs as she helped the Eagles win the Wesco North softball title.
Genna Martin / The Herald
Arlington's Hayley Fields, who played first base, the outfield and pitches, was an All-Wesco North first-team utility player last season.
Well, four and a half.
Ronnie Ladines, the Eagles' No. 1 pitcher who decided at the last minute to play on the Arlington girls basketball team, broke her finger during practice right before this year's Class 4A state tournament. Ladines still went to the Tacoma Dome and helped cheer for her team as the Eagles finished second at state.
"It was the weirdest thing," Ladines, an All-Wesco North selection, said. "I was just defending somebody and I was just going to knock (the ball) out of bounds and it just caught my finger and it was sticking out crooked. It was really gross."
The Kent State-bound Ladines gets the cast off March 14 and hopes to be back on the mound sometime in April. With three pins in her hand, she's not entirely sure of the recovery time.
The senior still has no regrets about going out for the basketball team. Arlington girls head coach Joe Marsh was very persistent -- and, ultimately, successful -- in his efforts to get Ladines onto the court.
"I was just kind of done with basketball. I didn't really want to do it anymore," Ladines said. "But then he kept asking and asking, was like, 'You need to come out there. Just have one more year of fun.' I was like, 'You know what? It's my senior year. I played soccer. I'll do basketball, too.' It was probably one of the best decisions of my life."
As a junior, Ladines had a 10-2 record with 146 strikeouts and a 1.55 earned-run average. She also batted .549 with 21 RBI and eight doubles.
With the injured Ladines starting the season on the disabled list, Arlington will look to four other seniors to help lead it through the early part of the season. All-Wesco North first-teamers Lynsey Amundson and Hayley Fields return, as well as Fields' sister Hayden and third baseman Alyssa Campbell.
Together, the group is helping break in returning coach Dan Eng, who coached Arlington for four years, from 2007 to 2010. He retired after the 2010 season, which happened to be his current group of seniors' freshman year.
"They lured me back," Eng said. "Basically, I retired earlier because I thought I was out of energy. And then the bug just kept bugging me and when the opening came, I decided I'd do it again. I was fortunate that they gave me the opportunity to come back."
Eng said his seniors have been stepping up since they were freshman, and he expects that trend to continue this season.
Amundson, a starting catcher, outfielder and backup pitcher, was a big source of offense for Arlington last season. She hit .690 with 13 doubles and knocked in 29 runs to help Arlington claim a Wesco North title.
Then there's the Fields family. Hayley is an All-Wesco North first-team utility player who Eng says is incredibly versatile.
"She plays anywhere and everywhere that you need her," Eng said. "She plays infield, outfield and was the No. 2 pitcher."
Hayden Fields plays first base, outfield and is the backup catcher. Hayley and Hayden have a younger sister, Kendall, who is a freshman outfielder, and a triplet, Hanna, who Hayden says comes to every Eagles' game and is "our No. 1 fan."
Eng is also excited to see what Campbell, who was on junior varsity the last time Eng was coaching, can do.
"Between those seniors and Ronnie, they did carry that team most of the way the last couple years as far as I understood," Eng said. "They carried the team as freshmen. They're the two, three, four and five batters in the lineup. There's a lot of home run power between them."
The group has welcomed Eng back with open arms, and is eager to start fresh after last season.
"The new coaching is fun. He's been keeping us busy all the time," said Hayley Fields, who, along with her sister Hayden, will play at Simpson University in Redding, Calif. next year. "I'm that personality that has to always be busy, so he's good at keeping us busy and teaching us new skills."
"He's really positive," Campbell said. "He's really motivational and helps out a lot."
Arlington graduated three seniors from last year's team, which finished the year 19-4. After a loss to Everett in its first game, the Eagles won 13 straight on their way to an 18-2 finish to the regular season.
Then Arlington went 1-2 in the district playoffs, falling to Cascade 3-1 in a loser-out district playoff game.
The seniors have different ways of looking back at last season.
"Last year, I think we had a lot of potential to go farther than we did," Hayden Fields said. "This year it's kind of a motivation to pick it up and really make our mark."
"I try to forget last year," said Amundson, a Western Washington University commit. "Just go out with the new season and just try our hardest and see what we can do."
Eng is taking a you-can't-live-in-the-past approach to the 2013 season.
"We haven't discussed it because I don't dwell on the past," Eng said. "We always proceed to the future. Even though they were a very good team we expect them to be better this year."
The players all agree that they want their senior year to have a different ending than last season.
"I really want to have fun this year, but also be successful at the same time," Ladines said. "Last year we kind of faded off at the end I really want to keep it strong."
"I'm really excited for this year," said Campbell, who will play at Everett Community College after this year. "Most of the team has been playing together since we were a lot younger. I think we're going to go a lot farther this year than we did last year. I know we can go a lot farther."
"I'm just excited to start the season," Amundson said. "Go Eagles."

Lady Falcon Softball Rolls Fayetteville State in Tuesday Afternoon Sweep
March 1, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University softball took a pair of wins over visiting Fayetteville State University on Tuesday afternoon at Jack Ingram Field. The Lady Falcons scored a 9-1, five-inning win in the opener while blanking the Broncos 7-0 in the nightcap. Pfeiffer now moves to 9-9 on the year while the Broncos fall to 6-6.
In game one, Pfeiffer exploded for seven runs in the first as Sarah Waylock (Cary, IL) blasted off with a three-run shot. Celia Dew (Sanford, NC) started with a RBI-single to center while Mikaela Strickland (Bonifay, FL) doubled home Shelby Brown (South Hill, VA) and Hannah Jackson (Greensboro, NC).
Pfeiffer added another run in the second as a Jackson sacrifice fly plated Waylock from third while the Broncos avoided a four-and-a-half inning loss as Maya Washington homered to left for an 8-1 contest. The Lady Falcons ended things quickly a half-inning later as Allison Braswell (Asheboro, NC) drew a bases-loaded walk to end game one.
In the nightcap, Rachel LaBar (Bradenton, FL) opened up the third with a double, later scoring on a pair of Fayetteville State wild pitches. Doubles by Braswell and LaBar again in the fourth capped off a three-run frame. Braswell would homer to lead-off the sixth while Conklin added a two-run blast for the final pair of runs.
Braswell and Conklin combined on a one-hitter in the night cap as April Branch had a first inning double for the Broncos lone hit.
Pfeiffer will be back in action on Saturday traveling to Queens for a first-place showdown with the Royals at 12:00 p.m.

Did you guys see that amazing spin move by AD? He can create and have footwork like a 3. Also I've been seeing a variety of moves by Lopez but he just don't finish.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
Davis is savin out butts so far
The combo of Davis and Lopez is going to generate a LOT of deflection and blocks in the paint. Avoid one, the other will get the shot or the pass out.
i like lopez on the defense so far! vasquez looks not really comfortable playing the one agains collison!
Davis game has been completely transformed from his college ball. You can tell he is a little more free. Even though we are losing I love the potential and skills the guys are showing.
I gotta stay Rivers is lazy when defending the fast break.
We should feed Vasquez in the post more often when his defender is shorter than him
Why is Rivers jacking up 3's when he can't worth dog poop.

I read a terrific article on the last page of Family Tree Maker magazine, June issue.
It made me think about some of my ancestors and how different my life experiences are in many ways, some good some bad. I often try to visualize what life was like in the 1920s, 1890s, 1850s, and so on–actual day-to-day life–and I read alot of materials trying to get a sense of that.
It goes without saying that as African-Americans, slavery, racism, discrimination, disenfranchisement, Jim Crow, and overall physical and emotional violence was ever-present and of course I stand in awe of all that we have come through. I am also thankful that women in general have made strides giving me a choices in my life that some of my ancestors could only dream about (educationally, career-wise, etc.). But I can genuinely think of a few things I think were absolutely better about some of the past times:
—proximity of family. The nature of an agricultural-based life as well as earlier modes of transport made it more likely that people lived amongst their kin. Almost no one I know, including my friends, lives in close proximity, certainly not walking distance of family.
—food. I think raising your own crops and livestock must have been in many ways better than all this processed, antibiotic- and pesticide- filled factory stuff we eat today. Yes, the thought of cutting off a chicken's head and killing a hog scares me now, but I'm sure if I was brought up that way, it would've been some good eating! I think there's something truly spiritual about really living off the land. My maternal grandmother would often say how you'd only have meat if you had a hog to kill, and that generally they did not eat much meat, but mostly vegetables and lots of home baking.
—personal entertainment. There are certainly good things about Facebook and the internet and Twitter and all the new technology (after all, I couldn't bring you this post without it). But I can't help but to think when I listen to my elders discuss playing the piano and trumpet and singing with their family in the living room how wonderful it must have been to be so musical and really need that as a form of entertainment and socializing. Older family members often talk about how they would all break out singing in the living room and I think that must have been wonderful.
—church and religious life. The mega churches of today seem like a different animal than the small, rural, steepletop, frame churches and tent revivals I've heard and read about, and still experience when I visit my cousins in Tennessee. The fact that they still meet up in that back room after service, and have what appears to be Thanksgiving dinner every Sunday harkens back to a time when communities really were tied together.
—minimalism. My paternal grandmother said that when she went to college, she had 3 dresses, 1 coat, 2 pair of shoes, 1 pair of pants and 2 blouses. Obviously we can live a good life without so many material things. I am embarrassed by all the "stuff" I have that I just don't need. Part of it is the capitalism-filled consumerism and I've certainly guilty. It must have been nice to live in a time before that had taken a firm grip on America.
Can you think of any other ways life may have been better in the past?
