Here Are the Inventerprise 2014 Contest Winners!Picture a mat of woven cornhusks floating on a pond and supporting a crop of tasty vegetables. That was one of the hundreds of solutions proposed by local students to help feed the world's people.
Some 1,150 Central Oregon students proposed new ways to improve agricultural equipment, systems, or processes in Inventerprise 2014, the annual science problem-solving contest sponsored by Bend Research, a division of Capsugel Dosage Form Solutions, with help from Bend-La Pine Schools and Central Oregon Community College.
Winners were announced this week in this year's 23rd annual contest. Students from 32 Central Oregon schools in Grades K-12 submitted about 900 entries, competing for cash and other prizes.
This year, students were challenged to devise a new way to grow, produce, or deliver foods to the burgeoning world population. Their responses ranged from an 8-in-1 garden gadget modeled after a Swiss army knife to robotic bee drones legislative proposals.
The floating field idea was one of many projects aimed at increasing the space available for crops. Other students came up with rooftop gardens and even entire roofs that can be grazed.
Two Summit High School students tied for first place in the high-school division and will pocket $700 each. Annie Jarvis, a senior, proposed legislation to encourage the planting of wildflower groves, which help support bee populations. Junior Tristan Fischer's idea was to promote the ancient grains quinoa and teff in drought-susceptible regions of Africa because of their hardiness and nutritional value. Summit sophomore Quintin McCoy will receive $300 for his second-place entry for a biodegradable fertilizer cube that retains water and releases fertilizer over time. Two Culver High freshmen, Kyle Caldwell and Chris Castellanos, got honorable mention for their smart watch with agricultural features. They will receive $50 apiece.
In the middle-school division, three students will receive grand prizes. Anna Marie Covlin, Peter Davio, and Jason Thompson from St. Francis School built a prototype of a new food packaging that uses discarded fruit peels as raw material. Each of the winners can choose from among an iPod, a mountain bike, a GoPro® camera, a tablet computer, and a season pass to Mount Bachelor for his or her prize.
Hundreds of students in lower grades submitted entries, either individually or in teams of up to three. Several students at each grade level will receive prizes for their efforts, along with an invitation to a special Science Night program held in their honor at the Bend Research laboratories in Tumalo. Entries this year were inventive, particularly another idea for dealing with decreasing bee populations: tiny robot bee drones that seek out flowering plants and help spread the pollen. They would, of course, be programmed to return "home" to recharge their batteries. In this year's contest, crop yield enhancement got plenty of attention. A first-grader drew and described a garden box that diverts crop-eating birds with a trap door. Clever second-graders made a ground mat that absorbs heat and doubles as a drip irrigator. Some fourth-graders believe they can help wheat harvests with their improved combine. Numerous ideas were focused on recycling water to put back onto farmlands. One fourth-grader devised an idea to feed pigs economically. He worked out a deal with a local grocer to shred, dry, and compress some of the store's produce waste so it can be stored or fed directly to the porkers. A fifth-grader proposed black-fly farming for food, claiming they provide about 10 times the protein yield of beef and flies "taste like bacon. Who doesn't like bacon?"
Winners at each grade level and the schools they attend, are listed below. A PDF version is on the Past Contests & Winners page

Tornado Damages Trees, Buildings in Revere
July 28th, 2014
by PHILIP MARCELO, Associated Press
REVERE, Mass. (AP) — The National Weather Service says a tornado that landed just north of Boston was a relatively modest EF-2 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale of 0 to 5, but it damaged dozens of buildings.
Revere Mayor Daniel Rizzo says 65 homes and businesses were damaged and 13 are uninhabitable. About 2,800 residences are without power.
The city has opened a temporary shelter at a middle school.
The tornado caused no major injuries or deaths. The weather service says it had maximum wind gusts of 100 to 120 mph and carved a path of about 2 miles through the coastal city of 50,000 residents.
The tornado touched down at 9:32 a.m. near the Chelsea-Revere line and was on the ground about 4 minutes.

Meh, I wish I loved this as much as everyone else did, but I guess it's just not for me. =(
I bought this and Taj Mahal from a reccomendation by Michele1218 on youtube, and I was super excited to try it! Sadly, I need to make sure that my cheeks have absolutely no pink/red tone to them when I use this, or else my face will just look too red. (Too red, as in, father-shows-naked-baby-pictures-to-guy-"friends" red.) Yes, it does give you a very natural flush if you use a light hand, but I'm already naturally red on my cheeks already. I would totally reccomend it if you dont have a lot of red/pink undertones, but if you do, then invest in something else instead. Gah, I wish I loved this product, though.

I have been wanting to try this blush for so long since everyone talks about it. It lives up to the hype, really does give that natural flushed look. The bright matte red colour only looks intimidating in the pan. A little touch on the brush goes a long way and would look beautifully natural on all skin tones. I use the NARS yachiyo brush for a flawless application.
I used to love NARS orgasm but I find that I have to use much more to build up colour on my NC25 skin and the sparkles end up all over my face. From now on I'll be only reaching for exhibit a.

First things first: I'm a cheapie-makeup addict. I haul from Dollar Tree and Big Lots more than Sephora; I believe that retail price doesn't always equal quality. That being said, I have never EVER come across a drugstore blush that could hold a candle to NARS blushes. Exhibit A is no exception. It is a fever-flushed red, sexy and bold. I think this color would work on absolutely anyone, given the right application. I'm nc10, and I basically just wave the compact in the general direction of my cheeks to get the right amount of color. This would be HG if it didn't irritate my cheeks so badly (haven't decided whether it's the fault of dyes or bismuth oxychloride). Basically a must-have for anyone who doesn't have sensitive skin.

LOVE THIS BLUSH SO MUCH. I just got it in the mail a couple days ago and have worn it everyday since. I have the same kind of feedback as most everyone, i.e. that it's terrifying in the pan but looks totally amazing on as long as you don't put too much and take care to blend it properly (I use an Eco Tools blush brush and find that it works really well). The colour pay off is phenomenal, I was using a Clinique tri-colour blush before and it took what I now realise is heaps of product to do the same job as NARS does in one swipe. I have very fair neutral skin with some freckles and this blush looks super natural on, I really think it would suit every skin type though.
Even at $62 Australian I would not hesitate to buy this blush again.. in about ten years when I finally run out!

Fantastic blush! Looks the way your cheeks look after a cardio workout. Flushed and glowy. When I first saw it I was terrified of it. But once I applied it I fell in love. DH even said it looked great. I use my 168 brush to apply it very lightly and then move it in circular motions to blend it. Don't forget to tap off the excess! Im NC40 btw.

I like this blush a lot. As most others have said, the color is quite intense, and using a light hand and the right brush is essential or else it will be clown city. But the color is different than any other blush I own, yet it looks incredibly natural on. And while I would repurchase, I can't even imagine when I might need to, that's how little I use.

omg..why did I wait so long to buy this product?
This is my fav. NARS blush ( I only own 5 though)
I was really hesitant to buy this since I am not really into matt blush and I have similar color from la femme
I went to the store to buy taj mahal but sales lady was saying this would suit me better
I tried it on and I liked how it look on my cheek but I was more interested in taj mahal still but well... got persuaded and bought this
I used laura mercier stipplin brush to apply this..I just barely touch the product and blend on my cheek..the pay off is really amazing..I cannot believe how pigmented this is
it is not difficult to blend contrary to my believe on matt blush
even though the color is similar to la femme you cannot compare quality
I will buy this again after I finish this but I don't think I will ever finish this in near future given the fact that you need tiny amount every time and I have tons of blushes..

I just loooove this blush! This is really HG status for me. At first I didn't really know what to do with this, I bought it online and hadn't really tried it on before. I loved the colour in the pan, it's a very shocking bright red. I just couldn't get the results look even, and I always used too much, so for a long time it just laid around, but one day I picked it up out of boredom and played around with it and voila, beautifully coloured cheeks. I have fair skin and black hair and this just makes me look so much more alive and gives me a snow white look. I use the MAC 187 brush for this, I pick up just the tiniest amount of colour and blow on it and then blend it in. So it feels like this will last me a lifetime since you need so little product. Don't like the packaging, but ah well, it doesn't matter since it's so great.

This blush definitely looks like scary clown make-up. And it probably could be used as clown-makeup with a heavy application. However! When applied lightly creates an absolutely beautiful, natural looking blush. Think snow-bunny fresh in from the slopes drinking hot chocolate by the fire, blushed. I have fairly light skin, with very dark eyes and dark brown hair. For some reason, despite my light complexion, my face eats most blushes for breakfast, and I most definitely look like a corpse without any blush at all. This blush, when applied correctly, is a godsend for me. It is great for a nice everyday flush. If I happen to want a more peachy look for the day, I will apply this lightly, and layer a nice peachy blush over the top. This sounds like a lot of blush, but the look is very natural and pretty. The nice thing about this blush is that it is completely free of any sparkle or shimmer, so the layering works quite well. I could see this blush working well, for a variety of complexion shades, from pale to dark. I have a friend who tried a bit of mine, and she is now a convert, and we have very different complexions. The matte nature of the blush is also nice for people with oily skin, or for people who prefer a more matte finish to their look. All in all, I can't say enough good things about this blush. I will definitely buy this again, however, it might not be for a very long time. A little bit goes a long way, and to repeat what other reviewers have said, I have barely made a dent in this blush that was purchased over a year ago.

Rep Power:
It appears you've got plenty of time to sort things out. And, lots of resouces here to network with in the meantime, as well.
Great suggestions and empathy from lots of folks with the same dreams & nightmares.
Bruce and I are building our own boat to be our future home, and have the benefit of having done short runs of cruising (1 to 2 months out at a time) so we have a better feel for what we want and need.
Regarding the process of "shedding" -- as others have already said, ask yourself can this be useful/fit on my boat? There are some great books out there on just this subject. PM me and I'll be happy to give you a couple of names of the books we've read.
As you go through the process of shedding, make your purchase/cleaning house decision based on that principle. I determined I need one set of items for the boat and another for the land-based home (we may not be successful in selling our house in 2 or 3 years, so I may resort to renting it out semi-furnished as an option).
Along this same line of thought, you may want to consider long-term storage. I have some things (heirlooms and artwork I've collected over the years) that I'm NOT willing to sell/giveaway/toss. And Bruce has some expensive machine tools he's keeping. So we've decided to purchase a shipping container and put most of this sort of stuff in it and a friend who has a farm is allowing us to store it there. Other things, like the family heirlooms I'll be asking my family members to 'hold onto' for safe-keeping.
We know we most likely won't physically be able to stay out there forever, and when and if we decide times up, we'll find some remote property and build a small cabin (off the grid is our preference) and move our stuff into it.
Planning for that day is a separate kitty.
I've also got a fairly detailed letter of instruction about where all this stuff is, and what to do with it in case something happens to us/me out there (probably a topic for some other thread).
Light At the End of the Tunnel:
I have 2 kids (adopted my late husband's children when they were preteens), a son 29 that I'm not on speaking terms, and a daughter 27 who is married with 2 kids (grandkids ages 9 & 6) and I get along with just fine. My significant other, Bruce has 4 great kids (2 girls 16, 17, and 2 boys 23 & 29). Most of the time they want to come with us (vacations), and this may very well be the case with you and/or perhaps your grandkids can, too.
When my kids were in the terrible teens (and also have gone through and are currently going thru again with Bruce's), my sister shared this with me and it helped so I'll share it with you.
Children are like dogs-loyal and affectionate
Keep positive, and as others have also said... its worth it!

In conclusion Far West is the kind of game that's hard to pick up, but once you mastered its controls you encounter a U-turn around mission 7. Then you notice the game has much more to offer than just taking care of fat longhorns.

What is happening in the stars for the week of April 13-19, 2014?
If you look at the chart of next week, it's a huge T-square. Part of the five times this happens 2013-2015 and an echo-response to that happened in 1966 (Uranus Pluto conjunction) that triggered the vision of the counter-culture. That's the stress. There is also a very positive emotional flow that also connects to this square in a double triangle kite shape.
We are in the thick of it now! Whatever is happening in your life needs to be embraced as the means and challenge to claim your true power. In all the areas where you, personally, or we, collectively, have lost our way, a dissatisfaction with what is brings us all to a crossroads. Be prepared to say good-bye to the past. The depths of despair and injury can become the raw material for a refusal to surrender love and hope. It's time to move from victim to visionary. Personally, and as part of the life of the planet, there is a way through this mess. Wake up! Look around!

If you are looking for a card around the $200 mark, then be sure to see the performance of the X1950PRO first! This particular card retails for less than the 7900GT in which it competes, but which takes the top spot?
We took a quick look at the X1950PRO when it was first announced a few months ago, but this is the first time we take a deeper look to see how it compares against the direct competition. On the NVIDIA side of things, the 7900GT is directly in line with what the X1950PRO has to offer, and both happen to be in the same price bracket.
I've been a fan of my ASUS 7900GT, so I was looking forward to seeing how both cards fared against each other. To me, the 7900GT and X1950PRO cards are for those who want a very good card at an easy to swallow price. Last week, we took the X1650XT for a spin. It proved to a solid budget card, but as we find out, this X1950PRO blows it's pants off for about $40 more.
Actually, the pricing for this specific card is one thing that surprised me. Checking out a few popular e-tailers, ASUS' card proved to be cheaper than most others out there. As per past experience, I've been in the habit of seeing their products priced higher than others, but not here. While most other X1950PRO's and 7900GT's available retail for $220 – $260, the ASUS EAX1950PRO retails for only $190 – $200. Note though, that there are two versions of the card. You can expect to pay more for the Crossfire edition, which includes the bridges you will need.
This card is based on the RV570 core, so we are dealing with the second to top for ATI. The RV580 is the 1950XXXT. Err.. X1950XTX. The 1950 uses a 581MHz clock and 702MHz GDDR3, and also a 256-Bit memory interface.
The max resolution that the card offers is 2048×1536, so no 30″ monitors for those who have them. I will jump to conclusions in guessing that those with those monitors won't mind springing for a high-end GPU though.
This card can be compared in a lot of ways to the X1650XT, but the 1950s 256-Bit memory interface is certainly going to help put the card far beyond what the 1650 has to offer.
Like the X1650XT, this card also arrived in a very thin box. It's large enough to safely hold the card, and the extras. This is what I like to see. If you recall my EN7950GT review, the box there was near 50% larger in volume compared to a standard motherboard box. Boxes like the one below are good for the environment, and also won't hog all of your closet space if you like to hold onto them.
The contents are also similar to what we have seen with the X1650XT. The only difference is the lack of a second DVI connector and also a game. The card we are looking at is the Crossfire edition, so it's contents are slightly different. This card assumes that you will not need a second DVI connector, because you would have had one with the non-Crossfire edition. Most manufacturers include a bridge in each card, but ASUS holds off and decided to include two bridges with the Crossfire edition. This works out to the favor of those who don't want Crossfire, but to those who do, should expect to pay $20 more for the version with the bridges.
If you are familiar with the cooler ATI throws on their cards, you will probably notice that this one is nothing like it. Both coolers have their advantages though. ASUS obviously was going for the quietest solution. Overall, the cooler takes up less room on the card, but is slightly taller, thanks to a heatpipe.
One thing that quickly struck me was the sheer size of the card. Compared to a 7900GT, the X1950PRO is about 3/4″ longer so it may prove to be a tight squeeze for smaller PC cases.

Chris Kelly not expected to play final two games of regular season
|04.12.14 at 11:36 am ET
Bruins forward Chris Kelly will not play in the last two games of the regular season, Claude Julien said prior to Saturday's game against the Sabres.
Kelly played one shift in the third period and did not play in overtime of the team's shootout loss to the Wild Tuesday due to back spasms. He was kept out of Thursday's game against the Jets and will is not expected to play Saturday against the Sabres or Sunday against the Devils.
Julien said that the team expects him to be ready for the playoffs, which are expected to begin Thursday at TD Garden. With Kelly not playing the last two games of the regular season, the Bruins' usual third line of Carl Soderberg between Kelly and Loui Eriksson will not have played together in the final seven games of the regular season.
Aside from Kelly's absence, the team is expected to go with a full lineup Saturday, with Tuukka Rask starting in goal for the B's.

"Happy and glorious" London Olympics leave uncertain legacy
And there was only one in-competition positive drug test, by a U.S. judoka Nick Delpopolo for marijuana. That may or may not be a good sign, depending on your perspective. It either means the anti-doping movement has genuinely deterred athletes from using banned performance-enhancing substances, or that the testers have fallen even further behind the cheaters.
If there was a stain on these Games, it came in officiating and the sometimes nebulous arena of what constitutes fair play. Four top women's doubles badminton teams were disqualified and sent home for trying to purposely in pool play to assure a more favorable draw in the quarterfinals.
There also was the South Korean fencer who controversially lost her semifinal match after a clock malfunction. And the boxing federation having to overturn a decision in which an Azerbaijan fighter was declared the winner after hitting the canvas six times. And the Ukrainian men's gymnastics team being bumped from a bronze medal when judges raised the score of a Japanese gymnast after the competition had ended.
Sunday, a Chinese Taipei and Japanese athlete had their election to eight-year terms on the IOC Athletes' Commission rejected after they were alleged to have, among other discretions, passed out lollipops to prospective voters.
But like the venues around them in the coming weeks and months, that seemed to vanish Sunday night at a three-hour Closing Ceremony celebrating British rock and pop music. There were performances by George Michael, The Who, Annie Lennox and One Direction, plus a reunion by the Spice Girls. Rio de Janeiro, host of the 2016, included a cameo by soccer legend Pele in its eight-minute segment accompanying the handover of Summer Games.
The atmosphere was festive and forgiving. Happy and glorious, even.
"On the first day of these Games I said we were determined to do it right," Coe told the 80,000 in Olympic Stadium. "I said that these Games would see the best of us. One this last day I can finish with these words: When our time came, Britain, we did it right."

free Funny whatsapp status with emoticons for status
1:If at first you don't succeed, find out if the loser gets anything.
2:I think I have an inner confidence that my tastes are pretty simple, that what I find funny finds a wide audience. I'm not particularly intellectual or clever or minority-focused in my creative instincts. And I'm certainly not aware of suppressing more sophisticated ambitions.
3:I don't think it's any coincidence that I lost my religious faith and 'manned up' in the same year. I was described somewhere as a lapsed Catholic, which is funny because I'm not going back! I want to achieve things rather than live life in an animalistic way.
4:If you look at the game and everything, it's not quite like looking at an animated film, because that's total character. This, this is really movement, but it's got funny little things if you look for the humor. They're actually getting to the character.
5:They call our language the mother tongue because the father seldom gets to speak!,Funny whatsapp status with emoticons
6:Parrots make great pets. They have more personality than goldfish.
7:Don't talk about yourself so much… we'll do that when you leave.
8:Okay mom…you know I love you…but I can't accept your friend request on Facebook.
9:The funny thing is, people's perceptions of what a song is about is usually wrong a majority of the time. But they're still going to read what they want to into it.
10:They did that little thing on South Park, and they mentioned my name and had a character of me judging a Halloween contest. It was really funny.That made me the coolest aunt on earth.,Funny whatsapp status with emoticons
11:It is not funny that anything else should fall down; only that a man should fall down. Why do we laugh? Because it is a gravely religious matter: it is the Fall of Man. Only man can be absurd: for only man can be dignified.
12:I just couldn't go back to Suddenly Susan after David Strickland's suicide. I didn't see how we could make the show light and funny any more.
13:The best way to get most husbands to do something is to suggest that perhaps they're too old to do it.
14:I'm not so much interested in the return ON my money as I am in the return OF my money.
15:It is dangerous to be sincere unless you are also stupid.

You can move most those mods over to the new car, but I'm guessing you didn't save your old wheels/tires and shifter. Without those swapping to the new car and using yours as a trade-in would be difficult. If it were me, I'd go the SC route. The only way I can see getting into an SS for the same cost would be to "settle" for one with more mileage and less options than you have now. You also have to wonder what the prior owner did to their car and how the treated it. From you other thread, I would guess you KNOW you've take real good care of you car.

It's Our Responsibility to Keep Children Safe
As adults, we teach our children to look both ways before crossing the street. Still, we instinctively hold their hands while walking in traffic. We make sure to buckle them into the back seats of cars. We put suntan lotion on them to keep them from getting sunburned at the beach. We prepare healthy meals. We teach them to avoid alcohol and drugs. Most of us also teach our children to say "no" if someone tries to touch them inappropriately. Does our responsibility stop there? Can we rely on our children alone to keep themselves safe from sexual abuse? It is unrealistic to think that a child can consistently fend off an adult sexual predator. Helping children grow up safe and healthy is an adult's job. Adults are the ones who need to step in and stop child sexual abuse. It is our responsibility to learn about child sexual abuse - how to prevent abuse; recognizing the warning signs that someone may be abusing a child; and where and when to report it.
Adults protecting children from adults
We teach our children to listen and respect adults. Coaches, teachers, clergy, caregivers, and parents are authority figures children should be able to trust. However, even the adults we trust to protect children can't always be trusted. A large percentage of those who sexually abuse children are from this group. Imagine how difficult it is for a child to say "no" to a parent, a teacher, a coach, or clergy member. These are adults who have the opportunity to "groom*" children with affection and attention, making it difficult for children to understand that certain behaviors constitute abuse. These adults know that children have been taught to obey them. This is why programs that focus on adult responsibility to prevent child sexual abuse are critical. Adults need to:
- Set and respect family boundaries.
- Speak up when you see behaviors that violate a child's personal boundaries or make children vulnerable.
- Watch for signs of sexually inappropriate behavior in adults, between adults and children, and in children. (see Warning Signs)
- In your own life, demonstrate to your children that it is OK to say "no" when someone you know and care about does something you do not like.
- Practice talking about difficult topics such as sexual abuse with other adults.
- Be sure that you are comfortable saying the proper names of body parts before you teach them to your children.
- Teach children the difference between OK touch and touch that is not OK. As they get older, teach the more subtle differences between red light, yellow light, and green light behaviors. These three levels of behaviors are a clear way to describe the gray areas which include sexual behaviors that are clearly inappropriate, but are not legally sexual abuse.
- Teach children that secrets about touching are not OK.
- Set up a family safety plan that is easy to remember.
- List for yourself whom to call for advice, information, and help.
What is the HERO Project?
HERO, a project of the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape, is a community-based, media-driven, child sexual abuse prevention program designed to educate and motivate adult community members to call the 24-hour HERO Hotline if they suspect child sexual abuse.

Gressick adjusting to his new role
Former Ohio U. player began spring training as a pitcher, finished as a right fielder.
By Greg Silverman
Staff Writer
Saturday, June 28, 2008
DAYTON Anthony Gressick feared the worst when he was called to Donnie Scott's office at the end of spring training.
"That's usually bad news," the Lancaster native said. "I thought I was going to get cut."
Instead, he was told he was done pitching, and was moving to right field.
He wasn't the only one surprised by the move.
"When I came out of the office, the trainer handed me my release forms," Gressick said. "I told him I didn't get cut. He kept apologizing. I said, 'Don't be sorry. Be happy.' "
Gressick's minor-league journey has seen him pinball through teams, leagues and even positions. And it will all have been worth it should he fulfill his dream of making the "Show."
"Playing isn't something I take for granted," he said. "I have fun and work as hard as I can to take advantage of my opportunities."
This season, opportunity hasn't knocked often. He starts only against left-handed pitchers. In 31 at-bats, he has hit .258 with two home runs, including a solo shot Wednesday, June 25.
Gressick, 24, has had a roller-coaster ride of a baseball career.
At Ohio University, he pitched and played first base and right field.
He underwent Tommy John surgery after his freshman year. That forced him into a designated hitter role for the next season. But he delivered, hitting .377 with 16 homers and was named third-team All-American.
In his final two seasons at OU, Gressick was a regular outfielder when not pitching.
He was drafted in the 26th round, and has spent time in extended spring training, with the Billings, Mont., rookie team, Sarasota (Fla.) high-A squad and the Dragons.
"When I get moved, I'm usually the last one to know," he said. "It can be difficult, but it's a part of what we do."
After injuring his shoulder in 2007 spring training, he bounced between Dayton and Sarasota.
"I had a really bad first half," he said. "I got behind in counts and walked a lot of guys. The second half was a lot better. I was happy with the way I pitched."
When he was called up to Sarasota last season, he was hit hard and threw limited innings. His Sarasota ERA skyrocketed above 12. His numbers with the Dragons were more solid: 5-8 record with a 4.40 ERA in 90 innings.
"We're all so close to that dream of making the big leagues," he said. "I have to take it day by day and work hard to improve."

Last Tuesday I had the amazing opportunity to meet Executive Chef Serge Jost at the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald's Harvest Room. Not only did I share a meal with Chef Serge but I had the chance to cook with him as well! I along with a few food bloggers and food lovers experienced an interactive dinner as a part of the Fairmont Macdonald's second annual interactive dinner. When we arrived at the Harvest Room, there were beautiful 3 course menus laid out for us to read and then cook! Yup, you read that right. The only way we would be able to enjoy an amazing dinner that night in the Harvest Room was to first cook it up ourselves! Thankfully we did have help!
So, let me introduce you to the cooking/food loving team! At the back row from left to right is Brittany Watt (from Harvest Microgreens), Chef Jost, Lindsay (from Edible Woman), me, and Santana (our delightful server). Then in the front row is Linda Hoang (Linda-Hoang.com) and Cindy N (from Let's Om Nom).

I want to see double blind tests of relaxed vs tense, see which group does better.
My most nervous game is when I have not played chess in 2-3 years or more. And I do not think I have ever failed to win that first return game.
On the other hand, after I have been playing in a few tournaments in a row, I typically wind up on losing streaks.
I ...need...the stress.
I am not so sure it is good to be relaxed. When I am tense and can feel my heart pounding in my chest, then I am alert and playing my best.
When I am relaxed, I dont care much. Oops. I guess I should have bothered to check out my opponents possible repsonses.
You can be too tense though. In between rounds I would find it hard to eat. And between days I wouldn't sleep much. On the 2nd day (or more if the tournament is long) you start to wear out and your play suffers.
Certainly between games you need to chill...and eat something that will last long. Avoid candy bars.
Just as there are sadists, masochists, alcoholics and drug addicts, there are people who love the tension, nervousness and butterflys that come with competition at the highest level. Each person has to discover how he reacts to the pressure. The great golfer Walter Hagen once had a playoff for the US Open the next day when a reporter found him partying with some beautiful women in the wee hours of the morning. The reporter asked if Hagen was worried that his opponent was in bed alsleep. Hagen replied "He may be in bed, but he's not asleep." Hagen won easily.
Practice breathing.
Inhale slowly, starting with the diaphragm, and slowly filling the lungs from the bottom up until you can feel the slight lift in your upper chest or shoulders when they fill up. Then even more slowly exhale in the reverse order, continuing until you expel ALL the air, then inhale again.
Roughly you should inhale to a count of 7 and exhale to an 11 count.
Practice it, and do it 10-20 times before each round, and during the game when you begin to feel nervous.
Have sex, go to the beach, smoke a big spliff, and enjoy a real good meal (not to big). Do all these in no particular order, but you must do all four, and you will be relaxed. I guarantee it.
Hmm. He's 13 though.
Good point - he'll need a ride to the beach.
Meditation, a nap, and a vigorous walk always help me.
I find laughter is a great relaxer. Watching a funny movie or reading jokes gets my mind off the worries. Also exercise is good, deep breathing is good.
What I do is,My rating is 1577.Suppose i get an opponent rated higher than me,say 1800.I think,1800?I really wanted to play a 2000.Let's beat this guy fast and get it over with so that i get a higher rated player soon.If i lose I just think,huh.He wasn't too bad.When I get lower rated players I just act all confident so that my opponents get intimidated by my rating.You lose all your nervousness by applyin this.
You need to be focused, sharp. It's the state in between totally relaxed and too nervous. Neither bored nor overwhelmed.
Before the game, try to find out what your current state is, and beforehand make some plans for how you'll raise your alertness if you're not fired up, and how you'll calm yourself if you are too tense.
Meditation, breathing, soothing music, a quiet walk, that sort of thing is good to calm down before a game.
If you aren't excited enough, do something that pumps your adrenalin, whatever works for you. Troll a bit on chess.com, run a sprint, listen to Rage Against the Machine, hit a team member, kiss a team member, try to do both in various orders, steal an opening book at the book stand, what have you.
To answer the OP's question: I have a routine. Breakfast and coffee, shower, drive to the venue listening to old crooners and show tunes, point my Knights in the right direction, take score with my lucky pen.

Test ID: HIVQR
HIV-1 RNA Quantification with Reflex to HIV-1 Genotypic Drug Resistance Mutation Analysis, Plasma
Method Description Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
For Detection and Quantification:
COBAS AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan HIV-1 Test, version 2.0, is an in vitro nucleic acid amplification test for the quantification of HIV-1 RNA in human plasma, using the COBAS AmpliPrep instrument for automated viral nucleic acid extraction (generic silica-based capture technique) and the COBAS TaqMan analyzer for automated amplification and detection of the viral nucleic acid target. To accommodate the polymorphism within the HIV-1 genomic target sequence, this assay employs multiple PCR primers for 2 target sequences (HIV-1 gag and LTR regions). The HIV-1 Quantitation Standards is used to detect and compensate for possible PCR inhibition and as a control for target amplification and detection processes. Dual-labeled fluorescent oligonucleotide probes are utilized to detect amplified material. Quantification of target sequences is monitored using the emission intensity of fluorescent reporter dyes released during the amplification process.(Package insert: COBAS AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan HIV-1 Test, version 2.0, Roche Molecular Systems Inc., Branchburg, NJ, 6/2010)
For Genotypic Resistance Analysis:
HIV-1 genotyping is performed using the TruGene HIV-1 assay, which determines the nucleotide bases by simultaneous bidirectional sequencing (1.9 kb total) of the viral reverse transcriptase (1,600 nucleotide) and protease (300 nucleotide) genes of HIV-1 in a blood specimen and identifies any mutations. An automated DNA sequencing system (OpenGene computer software) compares the specimen genotype to the known resistance mutations and generates a list of the mutations present and the antiviral drugs to which the mutations confer resistance.(Package insert: TruGene HIV-1 Genotyping Assay, Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Tarrytown, NY)
PDF Report Indicates whether the report includes an additional document with charts, images or other enriched information
Day(s) and Time(s) Test Performed Outlines the days and times the test is performed. This field reflects the day and time the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time required before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means assays are performed several times during the day.
HIV-1 quantification: Monday through Saturday; 7 a.m.-4 p.m.
HIV-1 genotyping: varies; test will be performed in batches of 4.
Analytic Time Defines the amount of time it takes the laboratory to setup and perform the test. This is defined in number of days. The shortest interval of time expressed is "same day/1 day," which means the results may be available the same day that the sample is received in the testing laboratory. One day means results are available 1 day after the sample is received in the laboratory.
Monday through Thursday, 1 day; Friday and Saturday, 3 days
Maximum Laboratory Time Defines the maximum time from specimen receipt at Mayo Medical Laboratories until the release of the test result
10 days
Specimen Retention Time Outlines the length of time after testing that a specimen is kept in the laboratory before it is discarded
2 months
Performing Laboratory Location The location of the laboratory that performs the test

Monica Hernandez / Eyewitness News
Email: email@example.com | Twitter: @mhernandezwwl
COVINGTON, La. - Nearly 150 inmates in a Northshore work-release program have been transferred back to the St. Tammany Parish jail.
Sheriff Jack Strain decided to shut down the controversial program after an early-morning escape that led to an alleged kidnapping and car crash.
'Sadly enough, the actions of a few idiots have hurt over 100 men who were turning their lives around,' said Strain.
After three recent walk-offs from job sites, or from the facility itself Thursday morning, Strain said he can't guarantee security breaches won't happen again.
But instead of blaming security measures at the privately owned North Shore Workforce, he instead blames 'reckless journalism.'
'There's been a great deal of reporting of incidents that happened years ago, and maybe that reckless journalism is some of the reason that some of the inmates felt it was an opportunity to take advantage of it,' said Strain.
A series of Eyewitness News investigations outlined questionable security and oversight at the work-release program, with two inmates dying of overdoses in 2011 and 2012, and two escapes late last year.
The Department of Corrections sent 19 work release inmates back to jail last month, mostly for positive drug tests, after an Eyewitness News investigation prompted a surprise inspection.
'I believe that my agency is on record saying this work-release program exceeded any in this state as far as measures taken place,' said Strain.
Mandeville's Edible Arrangements is one of many businesses hurt by the work-release program's sudden closure.
'Very dependable, wonderful work ethic,' said employee Danielle Banks.
Managers and employees at Edible Arrangements agree the three work-release inmates at the company were prize employees, who learned valuable job skills on site.
Those employees were picked up abruptly by bus Thursday afternoon, with no notice or explanation, said Banks.
'The bus driver came in, he was really high intensity, said 'Ya'll come on, we need to go. 30 seconds to get out of here. Grab the stuff you want to keep, if you don't want to keep it, leave it,' said Banks. 'If it'll get you in trouble, leave it.'
Now, the business like others dependent on the program hope it will open with stricter security measures.
Strain said the program probably will not reopen, but 'I've been around long enough to know that you never say never. We'll work with the Department of Corrections.'
Strain said the jail has 1,200 beds.
'We have capacity, we'll be able to absorb those individuals and those we can't we'll work with other jails around the state,' said Strain.

I was at Disneyland a couple of weeks ago, and noticed that Disney is once again stacking the Haunted Mansion line while a pre-determined number of people go into the loading room. This is really great to see, as it enhances "show," leaving the front porch empty, not jammed with guests pushing and shoving to get in.
But, for many, many years I've wondered ...
How come they don't close the front doors again BEFORE starting the Ghost Host spiel? "When hinges creak in doorless chambers ... " With the front door open and sunlight pouring in, it doesn't set the tone very well. The recording starts before all but a tiny number of people are into the room.
Then, the Stretch Room doors open as guests are still trickling in, completely ruining the effect.
It does not seem that it would add any more time (maybe 15-20 seconds) to do the following:
1) Let in the pre-determined number of guests and have them enter the salon/first room;
2) Wait until ALL guests are in, then close the front door, having a cast member say something like "Have a delightfully ghoulish time!"
3) Once the door is closed, start the recording. When the recording is FINISHED, open the Stretch Room doors;
4) Once ALL guests are in the Stretch Room, close the doors and begin the descent.
This doesn't seem like it would be too complicated or add tremendously to loading time. Honestly, it might change the intervals by a few seconds, but not enough to impact capacity ... while greatly enhancing show.
This is the way they did it, as I recall, until the Pressler era of cost-cutting and "efficiency."
Would it be that difficult to do? Isn't this the way the show is SUPPOSED to run? (Imagine going to a Broadway play and having the curtain go up while people are still getting seated and before the cast or orchestra is ready!)

But he knows Aarron's got a hard-on beneath that duvet and can't resist kissing it goodbye for the day! But it's on his way home from work that things really heat up - he innocently stops to give a stranger a light for his cigarette and gets pounced on for sex...Luke just can't refuse - he didn't have time to jerk-off that morning and he's had a raging boner all day. William's soon on his knees and sucking Luke's mammoth cock before moving him inside from the alley so he can fuck him good and proper! Stopping mid way through for another bout of blowjobs (both guys having sensational uncut cocks) they finish up with Luke cumming while getting fucked... and William leaves Luke with something to remember him by too ;-)

Why Are Submissive Fantasies a Turn-On?
Sometimes it takes a popular vampire series or Rihanna song to get people talking about otherwise taboo sex topics. Most recently, it's the best-selling erotic novel "Fifty Shades of Grey," which follows the dominant-submissive relationship between a powerful businessman and a college student, complete with explicit S&M sex scenes. Undoubtedly your neighbor has read it, and—mom jokes aside—maybe even your mom.
Since its re-release in April, it's been shaking up book clubs, bedrooms—even sparking a debate about the power dynamics between women and men. Though only a small part of the population reports fantasizing about sadomasochism/bondage (8 percent, according to a Durex global survey), the theme has piqued interest on a mass scale.
"I read it for my book club, and most of the women would have never spoken about sex to each other in such a personal way," a New York-based editor says. "One mother of two expressed openly that she not only felt sexually liberated, but empowered, while reading the book."
How can women feel liberated by reading a book about sexual domination? Here, we'll explore some psychology behind submissive sex fantasies (not sadomasochism, but "Fifty Shades" definitely touches on that.) The majority of readers are probably not running to get chains and whips after finishing the book (though if that's your thing, go for it). Likely, they're identifying with the thrilling idea of giving up control to a trustworthy, domineering partner during sex. (We hope it goes without saying that any fantasy sex play—domineering or not—should always be safe and consensual.)
MORE: The Secret to Hotter Sex
"After making decisions all day, sometimes I don't want to have to make any more decisions at the end of the day. I don't mind being led in the bedroom," says one marketing analyst and mother, who read the novel.
This leads to three surprising findings about women's submission fantasies, the first from a 2009 study led by Patricia Hawley, Ph.D and her student, Will Hensley at the University of Kansas psychology department.
In this research, and contrary to conventional wisdom, most people who were turned on by a "forceful submission fantasy" didn't imagine pain or humiliation (masochism), but were instead drawn to what they thought of as "a passionate exchange with a powerful, resource-holding and attentive suitor." That's a key distinction: The researchers believe this shows that people use these fantasies to assert power, not to give it up.
Here's why:
1. Assertive women enjoy the idea of being submissive in bed, more than traditionally submissive women.
Surprisingly, women who enjoyed these forceful submission fantasies weren't submissive in their lives outside of the bedroom. In fact, the most aggressive group of females preferred a fantasy where they were dominated. And real life "non-controllers" (women who have less agency in social situations) had the least preference for sexual submission.
One explanation is that dominant females pursue dominant males, as they do in the animal kingdom, says Hawley. Catching the attention of a dominant male means you've risen to the top of the pack, so acting out that fantasy (where he pursues, you resist and that power struggle leads to hot, hot sex) reinforces a woman's status and desirability, which makes her feel good about herself. (Note that you can sub in any gender and the same theory applies.) While that's just one possible explanation, the point here is that at its core, this fantasy enhances self-esteem.

To get Oswalt to anchor this rotation?
If you think offering Heisey/Alonso/Bailey is too small an offer to get Oswalt, that's fine, but that is not an I-think-the-Astros-are-looking-to-dump-salary proposal. Heck, one poster just above was wondering why I would propose so much.
I agree that the Astros are going to get quality back and not have to take on payroll. So whatever deal anyone offers with payroll coming back to the Astros will be ignored in favor of one that doesn't.
I wasn't putting words in your mouth, I was telling you what I thought about how you were approaching it.
As for the poster who who thought you were offering too much, I don't think the Astros would agree.
I do think though that the package you suggested is made weaker by the addition of Harang and is only the type of thing the Astros would be required to do if they were looking to dump salary.

Get your nunchucks and the keys to your dad's car. I know where we can get a gun
And I covered that earlier, by saying that if the Astros can do as well in prospects without needing to take a Harang back, if only for a few months, than the Reds won't be able to make that kind of deal to get an Oswalt.
I wrote this:
Sensitive, awesome. I guess I was hoping that my position wouldn't be misconstrued. If the Reds are to hope for an Oswalt, they will need to off-load some salary. If the Astros don't have to take some on to deal Oswalt and the prospects they want, then the Reds won't be in that market. I thought I covered that. In no manner, through any of that, was I implying that Oswalt was a salary dump by the Astros.That may be, but this isn't 1996 anymore, and teams like Houston are required to take a player like Harang IF they want to get certain prospects. That's how deals like this get done more often than not in 2010. Sure, if Houston can find a deal it wants where they don't have to take a Harang for a few months to get the prospects they want, they will do that. But that kind of deal may not present itself for them.
The Reds would certainly need to try and off-load a few months of Harang. If that's a dealbreaker, then it's a dealbreaker.

But you are not disagreeing. You are saying that if the Astros can deal Oswalt and get what they want without taking salary back, they would do that. I certainly don't disagree with that, and said as much ahead of your post.
I am not willing to close the door on hope, though. Perhaps they like the Reds' top prospects more than other teams so they might consider a few months of Harang, say. I don't know. Unlikely, but, I am in no position to know what Ed Wade is thinking.
But I don't think it is entirely hopeless if the Reds were willing to take on the salary.
And they most likely are not.

I bet Houston would listen to that.
Jocketty's MO is to send prospects, not guys currently on the major league squad. That would probably nix Bailey and Heisey.

I think Heisey and Bailey would be a great package to land Oswalt. The Astros could play up the "bringing the Texas boy home" angle with Bailey.
It's a pipe dream, I know. Reds won't take on the salary, and Astros likely won't deal to Reds in any event. But, if it were to happen, the Reds would have to go strong I would guess.
I think Oswalt is worth going strong. I think you can anchor a rotation with him in the dog days. He's been there before. I think he would be the kind of pitcher who would have less than usual issues in GABP.
But, yeah, not happening, likely.
I just don't want to let a potential playoff season slip away if they can make a move to get someone like an Oswalt. These don't come around all that often around here...
Probably short-term rental Cliff Lee a better target. Lots of competition for Lee, though, I would imagine.
