I Love Yarn Day….As opposed to what??? Who would dare say the opposite even out loud!!?
Even people who don't knit/crochet/spin/weave/needlepoint walk into a Yarn Shop and are in awe of the beauty. The colors, the textures, the creativity just oozing out of every corner can make almost anyone swoon. Believe me, I have taken my husband into shops and when he comments about it, I know I am not half crazy.
So when you find yourself in a slump, doldrums, or caught between a rock and a loss of the next project, step into you LYS or better yet the next yarn shop down the street for variety, and see what transpires! Look over the shelves of yarns, gadgets, and then peruse the books. OH! The Books!!!
This leads me to a few we have found inspiring! Martingale and Plymouth are doing a cross promotion. Check out their website. We will be having a contest. To enter, just leave a comment on this blog post. (One winner will be chosen at random on Tuesday October 15th!) The winner will receive a $50 gift certificate for any book from Martingale of your choice. Then head to Martingale and see what Plymouth will be giving away on their website! Cool?! Yeah, cool!! This one is my fave! Check it out:
Nice, huh? So, reply to our blog entry and you will be automatically entered into our random drawing for the Martingale gift certificate. Then go to Martingale's website and see how you can win a great pattern and yarn from Plymouth! We will announce the lucky winner of the Martingale gift certificate on Tuesday the 15th of October (since Monday is Columbus Day!).

Please join us in welcoming Britt-Marie Brehmer to our Sales Team, for the Northern California territory and Nevada.
Her Bio:
In Sweden, where I was born, knitting and sewing was part of the weekly curriculum in 3rd grade. That's where it all started for me. It has been a joyful hobby throughout my life, and after years of working with my husband in our Software Company, and children all grown up, I decided to take my love for textiles to the next level. I'm thrilled to be part of the Plymouth Team, and surround myself with people that share my passion. Weaving, cooking, baking and gardening also have a place in my heart.
You can find Britt-Marie on Ravelry.
Here are some of her most recent projects:
We are happy to welcome you to the Plymouth Yarn family and wish you much success in your territory!

Now that we have had a few nights in the 50′s, it makes me stop and think about all 4 of my baby girls (granddaughters) and their need for warmth and Nonnie lovin'! (This little one isn't mine, but feels similar when I get to hold her!).
A few years ago, (actually probably 10!) I took a class from Nicky Epstein in Encinitas CA at Common Threads. She was teaching edgings from her Knitting Over the Edge book. Well, the simplicity and the brilliance of the corkscrew tassel has followed me thru the years.
Hence the cute "pompom" corkscrew tassels for this cute hat. It is shown here on our little model, Gianna. She is the granddaughter of one of our excellent test knitters. Watch her grow up with us. She is a dream baby to work with as well. Always in a good mood and very tolerant of the multiple wardrobe changes!
Back to the hat! It is made with a new yarn that Plymouth is showing for this season. It is called Baby Beenz. Our Jelli Beenz has been such a success over the years that we came to the conclusion we need Baby colors!!! And here it is! We love the fiber content's durability wash after wash after wash.
Feel free to ask for it at your LYS and print off this free pattern. Trust me, you will make it over and over again as well as the corkscrew tassel!!!

It's no secret- I love wool. I adore it all year round- when it is 90 degrees outside I sit in the air conditioning and knit knit knit! Nothing compares to the bounce and body you get from wool- whether knitting stockinette stitch, fairisle, and (a personal favorite of mine) cables.
Wearing wool, however, makes me super itchy. I have been blessed (ha…) with super sensitive skin. I can't wear many wools next to my skin because of this. I was so excited when I discovered that the Grignasco line had a beautiful yarn with cotton and wool– Springfield Vintage. Imagine your favorite, most comfortable shirt- breathable, easy to wear, and holds its shape. Springfield Vintage offers this and more! It is a tightly spun dk weight that is smooth, soft, and has a slight sheen. The colors of the yarn resemble a worn vintage item with subtle color variation.
For those of you still in summer knitting mode or wanting to begin on next season's fall fashions… you'll love my newest design. My pullover is a romantic off-the shoulder, top down raglan. The cinched in cable-smocked waist ties in with the cables cascading down the raglan shaping. An easy to wear piece for the end of the summer into fall.
Enjoy! Vanessa

This adorable little guy ended up in my office today and made my day! I think he's just the sweetest thing and wanted to share him with you! Everything but his beard was created with Galway, 100% wool from Peru, and felted.
The Gnome was created by Swedish designer Britt-Marie Brehmer and word on the street is that she makes all sorts of these little cuties. I hope to be seeing more of them soon!

I have been doing fine uploading via FTP for the past few months until tonight. After a couple batches of 30 or so that went thru well, the little triangle next to the photo file (where the model release file is located) now disappears when I click on it to bring down the Model release file. I tried logging off and on, clicking all over but the MR file never reappears. When it magically reappears briefly after a reconnect, I put a MR in there just to have an error of "550 Failed to change directories".
Is this something I caused by clicking wrong? And if so, what can I do to set it right so I can upload the MR? Thanks!
I haven't heard of any problems with FTP yet. Can you open up a Support ticket and describe exactly what you're doing to get the error – http://support.envato.com Thanks!

Bio and Links
Hello to all, I have always liked walking through cemeteries marveling at how old some of the tombstones were.
My mother and I were the keepers of the family history. Mom passed away in 2008. Since her death, I have been trying to update the family history book and take pictures of the family tombstones so they won't be forgotten.
And then I came across findagrave and I got hooked.
It saddens me to see tombstones in disrepair, neglected and forgotten. It is awful when someone dies and there isn't anybody left to care. How many people are going to slip into
oblivion because their tombstone didn't last another winter?
When I put pictures on findagrave; if the wording on that tombstone disentegrates, then there will be a picture of that stone so maybe someone searching their ancestors will see the picture and care.
If you have any corrections or additions to any memorial I have put on or wish a transfer, use the edit tab on the memorial page. Any emails sent directly to me will be considered spam if it does not say find a grave in the subject line. If you wonder why your email is not answered, it was probably considered spam. I will only do additions,corrections,or transfers when the edit tab is used on the memorial page.
Because obituaries are copyrighted, I will not put them onto memorials. Please don't ask.
If you want a transfer of a relative it must be within the guidelines of findagrave.com.
Please have the courtesy to give your contributor number on your request.

Kate Beckinsale is back on the promo scene as she hit the LA premiere of her latest acting efforts in Total Recall. For the occasion she decided to stand out in a python inspired Armani Prive dress which we can't help but compare to a sweet wrapper! Sorry Kate.
Kate Beckinsale looked a little liek a sweetie wrapper in this look. Copyright [WENN]
The wrap around detail of this dress features a sculptural detail at the shoulder falls victim to looking like the end of a Quality Street.
[Related story: Colin Farrell felt uncomfortable kissing Kate Beckinsale]
[Related story: Jessica Biel on her fight with Kate Beckinsale]
The brunette actress managed to save her style with a fresh make-up look with peachy cheeks and a gunmetal shade covering she eyes that contrasted against a messy up do with strands falling loose to frame her face.
Misha B rocked the wrapper look on X Factor last year. Copyright [Rex]
And if it's any consolation, she's not alone in her chocolate box wardrobe, Misha B opted for a more colourful take on the 'look' on too when she wore a collection of sweetie-wrapper inspired look while on X Factor last year.
Do we predict a new trend emerging? We hope not!
Sharing the red carpet with Kate Beckinsale was Jessica Biel who upped her fashion credentials in a pastel pink ultra feminine frock.
Jessica Biel opted for a pastel pink for the Total Recall premiere. Copyright [WENN]
The Christian Dior couture dress featured a nipped in waist and accentuated hips thanks to strategically placed pockets.
The future Mrs Justin Timberlake stopped the look from looking to vintage by wearing her hair loose and adding a statement necklace by Tom Binns and working in Louis Vuitton heels and a Jimmy Choo clutch.
Who do you think looked best at the Total Recall premiere? Jessica or Kate?

Seems like an awful lot of pots calling the kettles black.
I wonder how many people that are so dead set against breaking the rules that Disney clearly allows guest to break, think it's fine and dandy to sneak in their own snacks and drinks? It's clearly against the rules and is stated in the guides handed out by cast members on a daily basis.
I will confess, we used expired FP many times and everytime we were greeted with a smile and let in.

Dead-animal-wearing Anna Wintour, as I mentioned, was genius to sashay onto the Devil Wears Prada bandwagon and to tell BABA WAWA that it's important for a fashion editor to be as decisive as Miranda is in the flick. And Baba was nice enough not to interject, "She's not decisive, honey. She's a total cunt!"
A total stud, '70s porn star JACK WRANGLER is the subject of a documentary being made called Anatomy of an Icon, which will explore his life as a child star, gay porn actor, straight porn actor, and unexpected husband of singer MARGARET WHITING. Thanks to me, it might even mention his porn duet with an ear of corn.
Onward Kristin soldier
But back to the animal kingdom: While nibbling on the intermittent charms of The Apple Tree the musical trilogy about forbidden desireone feels overcome with quizzical thoughts: Like, was it Kristin Chenoweth's idea to cast ex-boyfriend MARC KUDISCH as a snake? (Maybe Julia Roberts wasn't available.) And now that we have two concurrent musicals with a chimney sweep, would one more make this an even bigger trend than jukebox shows?
Bingo! Spring Awakening mentions one, so it's definitely sweeps week. The show amazingly brings people under 90 to both the stage and the audience! Even people under 20! And over six! Picture The History Boys (and girls), but without that liberating teacher and you've got this fresh piece of work filled with emo rock songs punctuating herky-jerky moves and pressure-cooker sexual situations. Is it perfect? Hardly, thank God, but even with slow stretches, it's definitely my wound of the moment.
Horny high schoolers are also vamping it up at P.S. 122, where there's finally an intentionally hilarious version of CarrieERIK JACKSON's authorized satire, with a poignantly otherworldly SHERRY VINE turning the pom-pom crowd into flaming queens. From Carrie's locker-room menstruation to the pig's blood dropped on her at the prom, the show really flows.
Another yearning teenThe Little Mermaidis getting made over for a stage spectacular, and awards-laden DOUG WRIGHT(Grey Gardens) is writing the crustacean-laden script. Wright tells me the show will mercifully not be done underwaterthis ain't Cirque du Soleilthough the cast and crew were humorously served sushi at the first meeting. And Wright says he's right for it, beaming, "I am a plucky nine-year-old girl in a 43-year-old man's body, and it's just my speed." Not me. I repeatI'm a complete woman.
I hear the womanly ELIZABETH ASHLEY will be the next theater queen to get the ELAINE STRITCH treatment; JOHN LAHR is helping write a one-woman vehicle for the raspy diva, and I pray she includes her "I went down on the devil" passage from her memoir. Not that I read it.
Meanwhile, downtown darling CANDIS CAYNE just shot a guest role on CSI: New York, which I assure you will never be the same. And the equally gammy CLAY AIKEN was dazzling on Live With Regis and Kelly singingI kid you not"Mary, Did You Know?"
But what the fuck does any of this have to do with Dreamgirls? Nothing. And I am telling you I will never do that again.
Web extra: A Powerhouse Books panel for RON GALELLA's Disco Years book brought together the four people from Studio 54 who are still alive (including myself). In the case of original Village People cowboy RANDY JONES, he's not just alive but kicking. Randy has a new CD of pop covers called Ticket to the World and in February he will go to North Carolina to play Prince Faisal in The Man in the Desert, a play about the Iraq leader's dealings with T. E. Lawrence. Says Randy, "It's a little intimidating stepping into the shoes of Sir Alec Guinness, who played Faisal in Lawrence of Arabia, and while I've played with many queens and sang 'YMCA' for one actual Queen (ELIZABETH II), this will be my first chance to play a real king." Can a knighthood be far behind for Sir Cowboy?
Another web extra: Speaking of titles, DONALD TRUMP certainly reserves the right to say his famous line, "You're fired!" to Miss USA TARA CONNER if he feels like it, but I would think his best argument for doing so would be if she really missed title-related appointments (you know, all those highly important pet food store ribbon cuttings and waffle tastings and such). Just the fact that she was having a good time doesn't seem strong enoughthough I guess anyone who buys into the pageant lifestyle has to be prepared to become a human Barbie doll without excesses or personal thrills. The whole mess exposes the hypocrisy of these pageants, which parade women around like pieces of meat, then get punitive when they enjoy the fruits of their hotness. I can see how drug abuse might be considered bad role modeling, but having sex? You're chosen as the hottest babe in America, but you're supposed to stay celibate? And there's been a little too much lip-smacking emphasis placed on the fact that Conner made out in public with Miss Teen USA. Isn't that just what most of the straight men (and lesbians) who watch these pageants would have loved to see? And didn't the organizers get the memo that same-sex stuff is not something punishable or below standards? I say abolish the whole thing. It's in the toilet even more than Miss USA herself is anyway.
Update: The Donald has given the beauty queen another chance! Yay! We can't even impeach Bush for serious international horrors, so to dethrone a girl just for partying would seem ludicrous.

Do You Know?
Hot Cocoa Tops Red Wine And Tea In Antioxidants
There's sweet news about hot cocoa: Researchers at Cornell University have shown that the popular winter beverage contains more antioxidants per cup than a similar serving of red wine or tea and may be a healthier choice.
The study adds to growing evidence of the health benefits of cocoa and points to a tasty alternative in the quest to maintain a diet rich in healthy antioxidants, chemicals that have been shown to fight cancer, heart disease and aging, the researchers say.
Their study, which they say is the most complete comparison to date of the total antioxidant content of these three popular beverages, will appear in the Dec. 3 issue of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific society.
"Although we know that antioxidants are important for good health, nobody knows the exact daily amount required per person," says Chang Yong Lee, Ph.D., head of the study and a professor of food chemistry in Cornell's Department of Food Science and Technology, located in Geneva, N.Y. "Nevertheless, a cup or two of hot cocoa every once in a while can provide a delicious, warm and healthy way to obtain more antioxidants."
Many recent studies have touted the health benefits of red wine and tea, all of which are known to be high in antioxidants. Although researchers have been aware for some time that cocoa is also rich in these compounds, its relative contribution in comparison to other beverages has been unclear, says Lee.
To gain a better understanding of how these beverages compare in terms of antioxidants, the researchers tested them using similar serving sizes and conditions. The beverages tested included a cup of hot water containing two tablespoons of pure cocoa powder, roughly equivalent to the amount of cocoa in a normal-size packet of instant hot chocolate; a cup of water containing a standard size bag of green tea; a cup of black tea; and one glass of red wine (California Merlot).
Using special analytical techniques to evaluate the total antioxidant content in each beverage, the researchers showed that, on a per serving basis, the antioxidant concentration in cocoa was the highest: It was almost 2 times stronger than red wine, 2-3 times stronger than green tea, and 4-5 times stronger than that of black tea.
For those who want the tasty treat but also want to avoid extra sugar and dairy products that are common additives to cocoa, healthier alternatives are possible: Skim or soy milk can substitute for regular milk, while an artificial sweetener can replace the sugar.
Although you can enjoy cocoa either hot or cold, the hot version tends to trigger the release of more antioxidants than its cold counterpart, the researcher says.
Antioxidant-rich cocoa is also found in many different products including desserts, sauces, liqueurs and candy bars, which differ widely in their cocoa content. But when given a choice between getting your antioxidant fix from a cup of cocoa or a candy bar, it is better to go with the drinkable stuff, says Lee. A normal 40-gram bar of chocolate contains about 8 grams of saturated fat, compared to only 0.3 grams in an average cup of hot cocoa, he notes.
Although many other popular beverages, such as coffee and cranberry juice, also contain high levels of antioxidants, these were not evaluated in this particular study, Lee and his associates say.
Perhaps the best way to ensure that you get plenty of antioxidants is to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables, experts say.
Funding for this study was provided in part by the Rural Development Administration, Republic of Korea.

Health benefits of cocoa consumption
Chocolate and cocoa contain a high level of flavonoids, specifically epicatechin, which may have beneficial cardiovascular effects on health. The ingestion of flavonol-rich cocoa is associated with acute elevation of circulating Nitrous oxide, enhanced flow-mediated vasodilation, and augmented microcirculation.
Prolonged intake of flavonol-rich cocoa has been linked to cardiovascular health benefits, though it should be noted that this refers to plain cocoa. Dark chocolate's addition of whole milk reduces the overall cocoa content per ounce while increasing saturated fat levels, possibly negating some of cocoa's heart-healthy potential benefits. Nevertheless, studies have still found short term benefits in LDL cholesterol levels from dark chocolate consumption. [[[4]]]Science Daily March 12, 2007
Foods rich in cocoa appear to reduce blood pressure but drinking green and black tea may not, according to an analysis of previously published research in the April 9, 2007 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.ScienceDaily article
Cocoa Is The New Red Wine: Shows Benefits For Coronary Heart Disease Date: August 12, 2005
Science Daily — throughout history, cocoa has been described as a medicine for many ailments. New research suggests that cocoa may also have a beneficial effect on heart disease and stroke. A research team in Southampton in England, led by Dr Denise O'Shaughnessy, has shown that drinking a cup of cocoa can prevent potentially fatal blood clots. Dr O'Shaughnessy will present this data at the XXth Congress of the International Society on Thrombosis & Homeostasis in Sydney tomorrow.
When blood clots lodge in our brain or heart there are potentially fatal consequences such as stroke or heart attack. Cells in our blood called platelets are necessary for clotting to occur and O'Shaughnessy research team showed that cocoa inhibits platelet function.
O'Shaughnessy said, "Cocoa contains a substance called flavinoids, which are also present in red wine. Flavinoids can be preventive for coronary heart disease; however our research has uncovered another ingredient in cocoa which may be responsible for the platelet inhibition. This finding may well lead to important new therapies to prevent heart disease and stroke. But it may also mean that a nice hot cup of cocoa may also take on new importance for people in high risk categories."

My family (two parents and two teens) moderately enjoyed this activity. We purchased two tickets for the four of us which was fine. We would have been very disappointed if we had purchased four tickets because each ticket comes with a GPS device...continued

Four killed after Carnival float catches fire in Brazil
Published on Feb 12, 2013 7:39 PM
RIO DE JANEIRO (REUTERS) - Four people died after a Carnival float in the Brazilian port city of Santos caught fire early Tuesday, striking a sombre tone for the final day of exuberant Carnival celebrations throughout Brazil, police said.
The float, authorities said, caught fire after it struck a power line during manoeuvres following its participation in ongoing Carnival festivities.
The accident, which follows a nightclub fire that killed 239 people in southern Brazil last month, comes at a time when public events and venues are under intense scrutiny because of what critics consider the lax enforcement of safety and fire codes in the country.
The criticism comes as Brazil, Latin America's biggest country, prepares to welcome hundreds of thousands of visitors for the World Cup of soccer in 2014 and the Olympics in 2016.

"The Bobcat is the most widely distributed native cat in North America. Bobcats occupy many habitat types, from desert to swamp to mountains. They are mostly nocturnal predators, taking quarry ranging in size from mouse to deer. Rabbits and hares make up a large part of the bobcat's diet. Like Lynx, male and female Bobcats maintain territories by scent-marking. An individuals territory does not overlap with another Bobcats of the same sex, but females home ranges can fall within the territories of males. Females breed sooner than males, at about one year of age; males are ready to breed when they are about two. One litter, with an average of three kittens, is born each year."

Bill of Rights
The first ten amendments to the constitution, added by Congress as a block in 1789 and ratified by 1791, guarantee civil liberties to citizens and rights of the states and citizens. That this charter is often taken "as the Constitution" shows how important contemporary debates over its provisions, often decided by the Supreme Court, have been to changing fundamental American practices. As a living charter, however, one should be aware that the interpretation of these provisions also has shifted, especially from a focus on the engagement of public citizens with the limits of the state to a focus on individual rights within the state.
The 1st Amendment, for example, guarantees freedom of religion, speech, the press, assembly and petition, which have been worked out through a number of critical court cases in the postwar period, constraining censorship, separating church and state and defining political and public discourse. Much of this debate has involved the actions of liberal interest groups before judicial activist courts like those of the Warren era. The 2nd Amendment, by contrast, deals with the right to bear arms, creating a focus for debates on guns and gun control. Here, constitutional defense has tended to be on the Right, while those on the Left have sought to limit applications of the amendment or even to repeal it.
After the 3rd Amendment, which prohibits forced quartering of soldiers in peacetime, the next five amendments deal with citizens' rights in criminal prosecution and punishment. Hence, the 4th Amendment prohibits unreasonable search and seizure, while the Fifth precludes double jeopardy or self-incrimination—often heard in the movie cliché "I refuse to answer on the grounds of the 5th Amendment self-incrimination." The 6th Amendment guarantees civil rights in trials—a speedy process, the ability to confront witnesses and evidence, the rights to defense and to a jury. The 7th Amendment ensures rights to a jury in civil trials, and the Eighth precludes cruel and unusual punishment. Again, under the Warren court all five of these amendments became charters for rethinking the rights of the accused and the conduct of fair trials in the 1960s. Subsequent courts have sought to trim back these guarantees as they are sometimes seen as hindrances to effective police work or the conviction of criminals. The cruel and unusual punishment clause has appeared repeatedly in arguments about capital punishment.
The final two amendments limit government by reserving rights not delegated to the states and ultimately to the people. These have also provoked controversy as to whether interpretations of the federal Bill of Rights can be extended to state circumstances.

WASCO -- For three quarters, Bakersfield Christian gave undefeated Wasco all it could handle in Friday night's Central Section Division IV championship game.
But the Tigers' constant pounding of the line of scrimmage wore down the Eagles' defense and Wasco came from behind with two fourth-quarter touchdowns from Isaiah Sharp to pull out a 29-22 win at Wasco, capping a 13-0 season for the Tigers.
Wasco will learn Sunday if it gets a chance to compete in a state playoff game.
"Our guys worked extremely hard for four years and it showed tonight," said Wasco coach Russell Prado of his senior class.
Wasco is the only Central Section team that is undefeated this season.
"We went 13-0. We deserve a shot at the state (playoffs)," Prado said with Wasco's fans and players shouting their agreement. "Our boys deserved it."
The Tigers won their first section championship since 1953 and only the fourth in the history of the school.
BCHS (10-3) gave the Tigers all they could handle. In a regular-season South Sequoia League game, Wasco beat the Eagles 49-0.
"We knew they would give us a tough time," Prado said. "This is a different team than it was seven weeks ago. Our guys just came out on top."
The Eagles played a bend-but-don't-break defense for much of the game, which kept them in it.
In the first half, Wasco drove from its 33 to the Eagles' 20, from its 20 to the Eagles' 15 and in the second half marched from its 30 to the Eagles' 6. Each of those drives ended with Wasco turning the ball over on downs.
"That's what we were trying to do: Make them grind it out," said BCHS coach Jerald Pierucci. "We wanted to keep the big plays away."
But from the Eagles' perspective, it all started to unravel at the end of the third quarter.
Casper Lopez broke loose for a 48-yard touchdown run with 1:05 left in the third quarter. A two-point conversion run by Sharp pulled Wasco into a 15-15 tie. BCHS came right back and scored on its next drive, with Hayden Kuchta scoring his second TD of the night on a 13-yard run with 11:08 left. Jake Fortnum's PAT made it 22-15.
But Sharp came right back moments later when he broke free for a 68-yard TD run, tying it 22-22 with 9:58 left.
The Eagles drove down the field to the Wasco 9 but turned it over on downs. The Tigers then went 89 yards, capped by Sharp's 9-yard TD run with 3:00 left that broke the tie and proved to be the winning score.
BCHS wasn't done. The Eagles drove past the Wasco 40 before Jake Thompson's long pass near the goal line was intercepted by Terrance Grinner with 46 seconds left.
Thompson was hit as he threw the pass by hard-rushing Kris Aguilar, who had two sacks earlier, which made the pass float and making it an easy interception for Grinner.
"The main thing going through my head was not let him make the deep catch," Grinner said, referring to intended receiver Josh Jackson. Jackson was effective all night, catching 10 passes for 189 yards.
"I'm just so proud of the whole team," Grinner said. "We came out hard. The offense was good. The defense was good."
Sharp had 265 rushing yards on 38 carries with three TDs. He had a 5-yard touchdown run in the first quarter.
Kuchta added a 45-yard TD catch of a Thompson pass that opened the scoring and Thompson also threw a 2-yard TD pass to Matt Smith. Smith was the Eagles' top rusher with 103 yards on 22 carries.
"For our team, it was a mental thing," Pierucci said, referring to the obstacle of blocking out Wasco's lopsided win over the Eagles earlier in the season. "We needed to not beat ourselves mentally like we did the first time we met."
As the Eagles drove down the field in the final two minutes, Pierucci said he had one thought.
"I hoped we had one more left in us," he said. "I would have gone for 2.
"Shoot. We were in there at the end. In the second half we gave up too many big plays. "

RICHMOND - On a crisp and breezy Saturday morning, the Eastern Kentucky University football team held its first scrimmage of the spring season. The offense edged the defense 26-19.
"I thought we played with a high level of passion today," EKU Head Coach Dean Hood said. "It was really fun to watch. For our first scrimmage, I thought we were pretty sharp and didn't have a whole lot of undisciplined penalties."
The offense earned points by stringing together at least two first downs in a row, scoring a touchdown or kicking a field goal. The defense was awarded points by forcing a three-and-out or coming away with a turnover.
Saturday's scrimmage featured an abundance of situational football. The defense was stout very early in the scrimmage, particularly against the run, forcing a handful of three-and-outs. As the scrimmage wore on, the running game opened up for Kentayvus Hopkins, JJ Jude and Dy'Shawn Mobley. Jude, a Johnson Central High School graduate, led EKU in rushing during the 2013 season.
Wide receivers Devin Borders and Taylor Miller scored the offensive touchdowns.
Eastern Kentucky will hold another scrimmage on Saturday morning, April 12, beginning around 8:30 a.m.. EKU's annual spring game is slated for Thursday night, April 24.

College savings plan should help all students
College costs have exploded in recent years, and California has been at ground zero. The College Board estimates that tuition and fees for four-year schools in the UC system have shot up 57 percent since 2008, the fourth-highest rate in the nation. Over the same time period, most households were struggling to maintain their financial footing. California and other states, instead of compensating for tuition increases, are handing out less financial aid than before. The drop has been steep; the Stanford Public Policy Institute estimates that financial aid per student dropped 40 percent, on an inflation-adjusted basis, between 1990 and 2007. As a result, the burden of paying for college has shifted onto families and increased borrowing. The average student with loans graduated with nearly $27,000 in debt in 2011, with lower-income students carrying heavier loads.
And that's for the students who manage to enroll. The costs of attending college remain out of reach for about half of all low- and moderate-income students.
So, with so many students struggling to afford a degree, why are California and other states helping to foot the college bill for the wealthiest families?
Aid for the wealthy comes in the form of a tax incentive. In the mid-1990s, Congress established 529 college savings accounts (named for the section of the IRS code creating them). To entice families to contribute, these accounts carry generous state and federal tax benefits; balances grow tax-free, and withdrawals used for college expenses are never taxed. Today, there are 11 million 529 accounts with around $167 billion in deposits nationwide.
That sounds like good news, but only out of context. A bias in favor of tax incentives is a bias in favor of the rich. The families most motivated by the 529 tax incentives are the ones with the highest amount of taxes to shelter, not the ones with the greatest need. According to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the median financial assets of families with 529s are $413,500. And the advantages escalate as 529 beneficiaries get richer.
For example, households earning over $150,000 had a median "withdrawal" (meaning the amount of money saved in the account and used for school) from their 529s of around $18,000 and a tax savings of over $3,000, according to the GAO. Households earning under $100,000 had a median withdrawal of around $7,500 and tax savings of only $561. So not only are higher-income households able to save more successfully, but they also receive a greater amount of public subsidy — via tax breaks — to do so. As such, 529 accounts have become vehicles for transferring wealth to the wealthy at the expense of other programs that could actually help more students earn a college degree.
It doesn't have to be this way.
Groundbreaking research from Willie Elliott, a professor at the Assets and Education Initiative at the University of Kansas, shows that college savings, even in very modest amounts, help build the positive expectations that can keep low-income students on the path to college and reduce the debt of those who graduate. And research shows that when low-income families know about accounts (surveys show they are often unaware of 529s), are given access to accounts, and receive sufficient incentives to save (tax incentives often don't help because such families often have little or no tax liability), low-income families save as well.

Great quick summer dessert. We don't like things too sweet, so I used half the sugar, white whole wheat flour, subbed 1/3 corn meal for flour as suggested, and added at least half again more fruit. Perfect sweet-tart cake to go with a scoop of ice cream. Very pretty out of the oven, too.
This is a tasty cake that would be delicious with vanilla ice cream (or vanilla pudding, which I had on hand instead of ice cream). I was nervous that the rhubarb would be tart and/or crunchy so I simmered them in the sugar glaze liquid for 15 minutes till they seemed soft and had had time to soak in the sweet liquid. I probably doubled the strawberries (why not, right?!) and then threw it all in. The cake definitely bubbled over so put it on a jelly roll to catch the drip and then let it cool on a rack while it sinks back down. Otherwise, this is an easy dessert to make when you have rhubarb (2 cups was about 3 stalks cut up like you'd cut celery). Serve warm with ice cream!
This is a perfect recipe. I have made this 3 times. Once I used blueberries, raspberries and blackberries instead of the strawberry/rhubarb and it was great then as well. I highly recommend it!
Super easy and very good! Reduced the sugar to 1/4 C to the rhubarb and 1/3 C to the batter. May reduce the sugar even more next time. Pop it in the oven as you serve your main dish and then pour whipping cream over the steaming result!
Quick and easy but impressively good. The only thing I changed the second time through was to replace 1/3 C of the flour with 1/3 C cornmeal. We all liked the texture better. I actually made this 3 nights in a row it was so good.
Just delicious, especially considering the ease of preparation. It was inhaled at my daughter's graduation party and the only recipe requested - and by many! I might cut down on the sugar just a tad next time, as I like my fruit a bit more on the tart side.
This is a lovely dessert. I can't say that the result is very "puddingy" but it's wonderfully moist and the cake is very tender. I made it with rhubarb only (3 cups raw) although didn't add quite as much sugar to the rhubarb mix as called for -- I like my rhubarb a bit tart. But for those who want a sweet dessert, the full amount of sugar would be fine. Well enjoyed!
Pudding or not I loved it enough to have a little second helping just for another taste. I didn't have rhubarb so I used about half & half blueberries and strawberries and because I was using sweeter fruit, I used 1/4 c sugar. I was busy while I was throwing it together and forgot the sugar in the batter, except for a sprinkling of raw sugar over the top, and with vanilla ice cream, it was perfect. Next time I'll probably throw a few spoonfuls of sugar into the batter. I wouldn't say it's the best dessert I've ever had, but I loved it and it was so quick to throw together that I'll definitely be making it again - with whatever seasonal fruit I have.
I loved this recipe... The cake is so tender and it was very quick to put together. I added chopped, fresh mint to the fruit which made it even better!
I used gluten-free baking flour (with a little less than 1 tsp of xanthan gum) and cherries instead of strawberries. The cake came out beautifully, though perhaps more pudding-y than I had expected. This does not seem to me like a breakfast dish, unless you have a strong sweet tooth.

We have added the following products to your shopping cart from a previous visit:
Alert me when new vintages of Rozes 40 Year Old Tawny are available for purchase.
Region: Portugal
Varietal: Port
Item no. 16204
>Styles of Port
The most confusing part of buying and choosing port is the style. All ports are made through halting fermentation by
adding brandy. From there, the styles are determined by multiple factors. Many ports fall into two broad categories:
Ruby and Tawny. The main difference here is aging – Roby ports age in bottle, tawnies age in cask and see a bit of oxygen.
Here is a quick
description of ruby, tawny and others:
Ruby Port
The most basic and often least-expensive port. Ruby port is bottled young with very little time in cask and sold with
no aging required. It keeps its bright ruby color and the best wines show red fruity-spice and warmth. A fine ruby or
reserve ruby is usually higher in quality.
Late Bottle Vintage Port
Like vintage port, LBV comes from a single year, often undeclared. It's bottled four to six years after harvest and
can be kept for a few years in bottle. Not as complex as actual vintage ports, LBVs are still excellent and can be
enjoyed earlier than most vintage ports.
Single-Quinta Port
Quinta stands for vineyard. A single-quinta is just that – port from a single vineyard. Like LBVs, they are from a
single year, but usually not a declared year. Ruby in style as they are bottled after only a couple of years in oak.
Vintage Port
The most famous and decadent of ports, vintage ports are only made in declared years and by law must be bottled
after 2 years. Because it ages in bottle instead of cask, it will retain those ruby characteristics of fruit and
color. Vintage ports are delicious and seductive, with just the right balance of fruit and alcohol to warm your
palate and your spirit. Vintage port can last for decades, but are delicate after opening so finish within a couple
of days once opened.
Basic Tawny Port
Port that has been aged in cask for a few years, usually showing a lighter hue and a brown tinge. Not as fruity as a
ruby and not as intense as an aged tawny. The brown tinge comes from exposure to oxygen at a controlled level.
Aged Tawny Port
An aged tawny has been left in cask or barrel for at least 6 years. Made of high-quality grapes, aged tawnies gain a
silky texture and spicy, nutty flavor from oak ageing and oxygen. Can be aged 10, 20 or 30 years, as the bottle will state.
Perfect slightly chilled.
Colheita Port (vintage-dated Tawny)
A Colheita port is a vintage aged tawny. The date of harvest will be printed on the label. Colheitas are like aged
tawnys, but often with an extra bit of character from the year of harvest.
Summing it up
Successful Sites: Portugal
Common Descriptors: sweet, warm, spicy, rich, smooth
Notable Facts
Furthest to the north lies the region Minho, which produces the slightly spritzy white wine, Vinho Verde. Translated,
it means green wine, not because the wine is green, but because it is meant to be drunk in its youth. Vinho Verde is a
light, refreshing wine, low in alcohol and with a slight spritz. It can be made with a number of grapes, but the best
whites are made with Alvarinho (yep, same as Spain's Albarino). Red Vinho Verde exists too, but not on the export market.
For other red table wines, the three most common regions are the Douro, Dao, Bairrada and Alentejo.
In the Douro, home of Port, red wines are made from a few grape varieties including the primary port grape, Touriga
Nacional as well as Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo). Still red wines from the area are good quality and contain fruity,
spicy notes. The Dao and Bairrida areas use Port grapes and the local tempranillo and make high quality, good value
red wines. Bairrida also makes a few sparklers. Alentejo is a super big and super hot region in the south of
Portugal making reds and whites.

Poseidon proposes wetlands project in San Diego Bay
The new wetland would become a nursery for species such as the CIQ goby, combtooth blenny and garibaldi, said Peter MacLaggan, senior vice president for corporate development at Poseidon.
"One of the functions of these salt marshes is a nursery ground," said Andy Yuen, a project leader for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. "We anticipate that this project will create habitat for fish that are displaced by Poseidon."
By measuring the amount of marine organisms living in water near the proposed desalination plant and combining that data with expected water flows, scientific advisers to the company have calculated the amount of marine life that Poseidon would need to replace.
The wetland project won't be an exact mitigation because it's located 40 miles south of Carlsbad, Poseidon officials acknowledged. But they said it was the best fit out of about 10 spots that were considered.
"Our preference is to site a mitigation as close as possible to the site of the impact," said Kate Huckelbridge, a coastal program analyst for the Coastal Commission. "We were unable to do that here because of size and the type of habitat we were required to restore. It's not an ideal situation. ... But I think the benefits that will be realized in San Diego Bay are really great."
Energy neutrality
Poseidon will also have to compensate for its energy impacts.
The facility in Carlsbad would need about 30 megawatts of power for every hour of operation — the amount needed to power 300,000 bulbs that are 100-watt, MacLaggan said.
The system would be about 40 percent more energy-intensive than pumping water from Northern California to Southern California through the State Water Project.
To offset the additional energy consumption, Poseidon has agreed to pay $1 million to plant 100,000 trees as part of the Cuyamaca Rancho State Park Reforestation Project, said forestry consultant Nancy Budge. The trees would capture carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, reducing the region's emissions linked to climate change.
Poseidon also plans to install solar panels on the plant's roof and buy carbon or renewable-energy credits through California's newly introduced carbon auction market, MacLaggan said.
Fundamental concerns
Environmental groups said the desalination plant would add drinking water to the region's overall supply, not replacing existing inventory. So they believe Poseidon should compensate environmentally for the full amount of power it uses, not just offset the excess energy its facility would require.
They also said the plant's design is unwise because it would share water intakes with the nearby Encina power station. That means Poseidon would continue using those intakes after the power station is shuttered — instead of adopting new, less environmentally harmful technology in the first place, said Livia Borak, an attorney with the Coast Law Group.
"We think the plant shouldn't be built in its current site or in its current design," Borak said. "There's a statewide policy to use other technologies and phase out" the old intake approach.
The Surfrider Foundation and other environmental organizations are challenging Poseidon's desalination project in court, and they expect a ruling in about three months. Meanwhile, the company continues to pursue final approvals for its plant.
On Thursday, the San Diego County Water Authority is scheduled to vote on whether to buy Poseidon's desalinated water, which would supply 7 percent to 10 percent of the region's need.
If the agency signs off on that contract, the facility could begin construction as early as January and start production by 2016. Poseidon expects to complete the wetland restoration project around the same time.

Check the through-hulls. If they're bronze, check to see that they're not dezincifying, which usually shows by them being pinkish in color. This means that the alloy is being galvanically attacked and leaves behind a soft copper sponge effectively. Bad for you...
Check the zincs. Replace any that are at 50% in size or less.
Check the rudder bearing and rudder stock
Check the through-hull seacocks for proper operation. Might as well give them a bit of lubrication too while you've down there. Check the hoses and replace any that are soft, spongy, swollen, or brittle.
Check the bottom for scrapes, nicks, etc to the bottom paint.
Check the prop shaft, prop, cutless bearing, and stuffing box. If you have a prop strut, check that as well.
Check the keel. If it is an external, bolted on keel, check the keel-hull joint. Inspect the keelbolts too.
If you have a center board, check the board trunk for damage and check the centerboard pivot pin and raising, lowering and locking mechanisms.
If you have a lifting keel... check the trunk and check the raising, lowering and locking mechanisms.
That's all I can think of off hand.
