A duvet cover is easy enough to make right? Two sheets sewn together can't be that hard. I bought this Martha Stewart sheet after Christmas last year…I paid $8.00 for it but it was marked down from $70.00. Who in the heck pays $70.00 for one flat sheet!!!!! Really Martha…$70? (Sorry if you've paid $70.00 for a flat sheet).
Now, I'm not a swearer….like never ever do I swear…unless I'm making a duvet cover. Then I'm allowed. It turned out fine…but for some reason I think I made every mistake known to man when sewing this bad boy together…sigh. Luckily this pillow cover was an easy project and my first using pre-made piping.
(fabric is Early Bird by Cosmo Cricket)
This is the last picture I'll share with you of my bed….promise….its getting kind of creepy.

You might have seen the other article on how Denver's Roger Espinoza helped Wigan Athletic win the FA Cup on Saturday. Here are some additional highlights of the big upset as posted by the FA.
Extended highlights...
Pitchside highlights...
There were a bunch of games on Wednesday (watch all the goals here), but none had as impressive of a highlight as the NYRB vs Montreal match - in which New York's Thierry Henry almost casually scored on a bicycle / over head kick.
Here's what Henry said after NY's 2-1 win: "It was a good goal, don't get me wrong, but at the end of the day we had to score a goal," said Henry. "I've had the opportunity to score some good goals in my career but you kind of think about it at the end of you career, not right now."
I don't agree with announcer Shep Messing's call. It was an awesome goal, and he made it look way too easy. It also became the Top Play on ESPN's SportsCenter. But goal of the decade? Really? What do you think?
It was a story that went viral early in the week, and then spread like wildfire through twitter on Wednesday. You'll quickly realize why when you watch the video above (warning, might need tissues), but I wanted to give another shout out to the Portland Timbers and their fans for this amazing show of compassion towards a young fan. If you're hearing/seeing this for the first time, here's how Portland described the day though a press release:
In front of more than 3,000 Portland Timbers faithful – converted for a day to support a special wish made possible by the club, the Timbers Army and Make-A-Wish® Oregon – eight-year-old Atticus Lane-Dupre netted four goals, including the game-winner in the waning moments of the match, to power The Green Machine to a 10-9 victory over the Portland Timbers at JELD-WEN Field Wednesday afternoon in Portland, Ore.
The Timbers teamed up with Make-A-Wish® Oregon to grant the wish to Atticus, who learned he had cancer last fall and missed his last soccer game of the season with his teammates on The Green Machine. Guided to victory by Timbers head coach Caleb Porter, The Green Machine faced a formidable Timbers side that included a Starting IV.
When Atticus had the chance to make a wish, he chose to scrimmage the Timbers at JELD-WEN Field, home of the Timbers. Prior to Wednesday's game, Atticus was outfitted with his own locker next to Timbers captain Will Johnson, while he and his family were given a behind-the-scenes tour of the Timbers locker room and workout facilities.
After the game Atticus exchanged jerseys with Johnson, and then, in keeping with Timber's tradition, he held up a slice off the victory log for his four goals.
Until a few weeks ago I had never heard of the group, Rabbit, nor of their song, "In My Blue Jeans." But now I can't get the song out of my head.
I first heard the song in video called Soccer Walking New York, then in Soccer Walking Philadelphia, and Soccer Walking Chicago, and, you can see where I'm going...all across America!
Former MLS player Jared Montz runs his own soccer drills website called OnlineSoccerAcademy.com. Jared is using his site to promote Soccer Walking America - a 45 day, 15 city video series tour he created to raise awareness of the fight against malaria and encourage soccer players worldwide to juggle to save lives in the OSA World Juggle-a-thon for Nothing But Nets on April 25, 2013; World Malaria Day.
Jared came to Colorado to shoot his video on April 8-9. He was able to get a lot of footage before one of our now weekly snow storms, and then went to the Sports Dome to get Clint Irwin, Drew Moor, Tony Cascio, and Edson Buddle to join in. Jared also juggles with Academy midfielder Bryan Windsor and his brother and dad.
You can participate, too. Join the "Juggle to Get Better, Juggle to Save Lives" World Juggle-a-thon for Nothing But Nets on April 25th at 6pm from anywhere in the world.
Click here to become a Juggler and Fundraise
Or Click here to make a One Time Donation
Then go watch the rest of the videos from each of the other MLS markets on the OnlineSoccerAcedmy YouTube page and get that song stuck in your head, too. Hey, oh, oh!
Edson Buddle has only been with the Rapids a few weeks. But as a MLS and U.S. national team veteran, he's known some of his new teammates for some time, including Marvell Wynne. That has made the transition to the Rapids that much easier, as evidenced by the fact that Marvell trusted Edson to give him a new haircut.
On the right is what Marvell looked like at the start of preseason camp. On the left, a few weeks in when he saved his head before the group went to Vegas.
Apparently, he wasn't done with his new look. Here's the image Edson tweeted on Thursday:
I just gave ummdub aka Marvel that fresh line-up. mikestylezhof what you think? #sharp #1stlineup #rapids… instagr.am/p/WBL9LNF4i9/

Obviously, Colorado is no stranger to snow, although it's been a bit sparce in the Denver metro area the past couple years. On Feb. 20-21, 2013 Commerce City received it's first decent snowfall since last October. So when I got to the stadium on Thursday I couldn't pass up the chance to take new photos of the new adidas Prime match ball on the field at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
The past few days have been a little unnverving for Rapids midfielder Martin Rivero. The 23-year Argentinian suffered a broken bone in his right foot just before the end of the first half of the first preseason game on Tuesday. It was the first broken bone that he's suffered as a professional, and the ensuing surgery was also a first for the second-year playmaker.
But one thing that has kept him positive is the connection he's built with fans through his twitter handle. Rivero has chronicled and given fans - in Spanish and English - a unique behind the scenes perspective of his week, starting prior to the match, as he returned to Denver, on the surgery table, and afterwards. See below:

Well, Colorado fans, if you didn't realize it then, you know now that when you attended the U.S. Women's National Team match at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in September, you were in the presence of greatness.
On Monday, FIFA announced that former USWNT coach Pia Sundhage was named the FIFA Women's Coach of the Year, and USWNT forward Abby Wambach became the first U.S. women since 2002 to be named Best Female Soccer player in the world (pictured above celebrating her goal at DSGP in a 6-2 win over Australia). That capped off a tremondous year for the U.S. ladies, who had won the 2012 Olympic gold medal.
Fans of the women's 2012 know already knew that Pia was known to break out in song, as she did before her last game as coach on that night in Colorado. So it was fitting that she thanked her staff, and sang one last time to her players when she accepted the award:
A few months ago we told you about Rapids Academy midfielder Bryan Windsor's trip to Barcelona, where he got to train at Barcelona's La Masia facility and receive first-hand instructions from the same youth coaching system that developed the world-player of the year, Lionel Messi, among others.
On Sunday, CBS's famed-program, 60 Minutes, profiled the story of Barcelona FC, giving arguably the best club soccer team in the world - in this era - a huge platform to be seen by millions of people in the United States. There's a lot of good stuff here, give yourself 15 minutes and watch it:
It's nearly impossible to tune out the Denver Broncos buzz, especially when "PFM," as Broncos fans and covering media have appointed Peyton Manning, is leading the team to the playoffs. And I suspect many Colorado Rapids fans are also Broncos fans, or least enjoy the local sports teams' successes, and are also optimistic for the Broncos' playoff hopes.
But for many Rapids fans, "PFM" was already in town quite a few years before the future hall-of-fame quarterback came to the Rocky Mountains. That's our own Pablo 'Freaking' Mastroeni.
As I thought more about the two local pros and their impact on their respective teams, I came across a few more similarities than the PFM acronyms, their 36-years of age (Peyton is five months older than Pablo), or that both of their team's missed the playoffs in the same year the respective superstar was forced to sit out with head / neck injuries.
Here are some I came across...post in the comments if you think of others.
Mastroeni began his professional career in 1998.
Manning began his professional career in 1998.
Mastroeni has one League championship - the 2010 MLS Cup.
Manning has one League championsip - the 2007 NFL Superbowl
Mastroeni was the first overall pick in the 2001 MLS Allocation Draft
Manning was the first overall pick in the 1998 NFL Draft.
Mastroeni was named an MLS All-Star in 9 consecutive years
Manning was named an NFL Pro Bowler (all-star) in 9 consecutive years
Mastroeni's last Final appearance was in 2010 (Nov)
Manning's last Final appearance was in 2010 (Feb)
Mastroeni was the 2012 Team Humanitarian of the Year, nominated for MLS award
Manning won the 2005 NFL Humanitarian Award
Mastroeni has played in at least 14 games for his team in 14 different seasons
Manning will play at least his 14th game for his team in his 14th different seasons (Dec. 16, 2012)
Mastroeni has 65 international caps and played in two FIFA World Cups
Manning has won four NFL MVP honors
Mastroeni missed nearly all of 2012 with concussion symptoms before announcing he's coming back for Major League Soccer's 18th season in 2013...
Manning, who brought back the retired #18, missed all of 2011 with a neck injury before returning this year to lead the Broncos back to the NFL playoffs...(and TBD)
Next month, Broncos fans will be pulling for Peyton to advance past the first round of the playoffs for the 5th time in his career. When Pablo advance past the first round for his fifth time, in 2010, he advanced all the way to the Cup...

By Claire Walla
It may look dilapidated and exude the sound of drilling and the smell of fresh sawdust, but the intersection of Montauk Highway and Ocean Road in Bridgehampton is not your average construction zone. It is currently home to a veritable trifecta of ongoing historic preservation projects.
On the southeast side of the highway, the Bridgehampton Historical Society is working to preserve what's known as the Nathanial Rogers House (the renovated building will serve as the organization's new home). Across the street to the north, developer Bill Campbell and his crew are turning the old Bull's Head Inn property into a new luxury Inn, complete with a restaurant and spa, to be called the Topping Rose House (taken from the building's historic owners). And on the northwest corner of the intersection, developer Leonard Ackerman has already gone through with the demolition of the run-down beverage store and has plans in place to construct a retail center.
While Ackerman's new development is the only arm of this trio of construction projects to be built entirely from scratch, the building will be designed to look like the white, columned Greek Revival buildings being restored to its east.
According to Julie Greene of the historical society, the Bull's Head and Nathanial Rogers homes date back to the 1840s. A man named Abraham Rose once owned the property on both sides of the road, but he sold the southern parcel to Nathanial Rogers in 1829. A little more than a decade later, Greene said, both men simultaneously built their homes in the Greek revival style.
Greene somewhat lamented the fact that the original building on the former beverage store site — which was thought to have been built in 1698 — had been demolished decades ago when the beverage store was actually a Shell Oil gas station. But, she said the proposed alternative is a desirable alternative to what stood in its place.
"I think anything would be better than how that beverage store looked in its last days," she joked.
"It's great to have buildings that complement each other," she said of all three construction plans.
Hal Zwick, a real estate agent with Devlin McNiff Halstead who is representing Ackerman's development, said the site is scheduled to be completed by 2013. However, he's already soliciting businesses that are interested in moving into the retail space. In total, the spot can potentially house up to seven unique businesses, although Zwick also said he's been in talks with at least one company that expressed an interest in renting out the entire complex.
Across the street, however, history was of the utmost importance when the Bridgehampton Historical Society decided to buy the Nathaniel Rogers house back in 2003. Through a combination of grant money from the state and donations from the town of Southampton (all totaling roughly $1.7 million), as well as private funds donated by members of the Bridgehampton community, Bridgehampton Historical Society Director John Eilertsen said the current phase of the restoration project — namely revamping the building's exterior — is set to be completed in April.
From here, he added, "What we're hoping is that the town will come up with an additional dollar amount so that we can proceed with the interior."
While Eilertsen said the time-frame for the rest of the project is largely dependent on whether or not the historical society secures enough financial donations and grant money to proceed, he ball-parked this building's completion for two-and-a-half to three years from now.
Looking at a more immediate start date, the Topping Rose House aims to open its doors by the start of the summer season. Though the 3-acre site will ultimately include four 2-story guest cottages along the property's eastern edge, a spa, a swimming pool and a crabapple orchard along the highway, building manager Fran Reres said only the historic Inn, with seven guest rooms, is expected to be open for business this summer. (The rest of the property — housing 22 rooms total — is expected to be finished a year from now.)
While historic preservation was a relative after thought for this project proposal, it is now ingrained in the day-to-day tasks of everyone involved. In fact, as part of Campbell's deal with the Town of Southampton, he hired local historian Robert Strada to be the historical consultant for the entire redevelopment project. Since construction began back in August, Strada said he has already uncovered a historic barn (actually found hidden within a storage shed on the property), and he's helped the project managers, JGP Pinnacle, LLC, identify elements of historical significance.
"The Southampton Town Planning Board is requiring that they document the entire process," Strada said with an almost palpable enthusiasm. He even pointed to the project's blueprints, which state specifically, "That alteration and restoration of the Inn shall comply with the Secretary of Interior's standards for the treatment of historic properties."
Strada said he gets calls from the site whenever someone uncovers something that may potentially be of historic significance. In fact, he said, it happens quite frequently.
"Just this morning, [Construction Manager Steve Knopp] found a special piece of iron," Strada revealed.
He doesn't' know for sure whether it has historical significance or not, but Strada will certainly investigate it.
All his findings — pictures and historic information — will be put on display throughout the Topping Rose House. And, as it is the nature of their institution, Bridgehampton Historical Society members will do the same.
It may be over a century since the Toppings and Rogers families made Bridgehampton their home, but today's building projects are making certain they are still remembered.

After Arbuthnot was promoted to deputy editor, it was taken over by Wyndham-Lewis some time in 1919 who reinvented it as an outlet for his wit and humour. It was then passed to Morton during 1924 though it is likely there was a period when they overlapped. Morton wrote the column until 1975; it was revived in the early 1990s and continues today, written by William Hartston. The column is unsigned except by "Beachcomber" and it was not publicly known that Morton or Wyndham-Lewis wrote it until the 1930s. The name is mainly associated with Morton who has been credited as an influence by Spike Milligan amongst others. Morton introduced the recurring characters and continuing stories that were a major feature of the column during his 51-year run.
The format of the column was a random assortment of small paragraphs which were otherwise unconnected. These could be anything, such as:
Morton's other interest, France, was occasionally represented by epic tales of his rambling walks through the French countryside. These were not intended as humour.
"By The Way" was popular with the readership, and of course, one of the reasons it lasted so long. Its style and randomness could be off-putting, however, and it is safe to say the humour could be something of an acquired taste. Oddly, one of the column's greatest opponents was the Express newspaper's owner, Lord Beaverbrook, who had to keep being assured the column was indeed funny. A prominent critic was George Orwell but "By The Way" was one of the few features kept continuously running in the often seriously reduced Daily Express throughout World War II, where Morton's lampooning of Hitler, including the British invention of Bracerot to make the Nazi's trousers fall down at inopportune moments, was regarded as valuable for morale.
The column appeared daily until 1965 when it was changed to weekly. It was cancelled in 1975 and revived as a daily piece in the early 1990s where it continues to the present day in much the same format.
The Will Hay film Boys Will Be Boys (1935) was set at Morton's Narkover school.
In 1969, Spike Milligan based a BBC television series named The World of Beachcomber on the columns. According to Milligan, the columns had been an influence on the comedic style of his radio series, The Goon Show. A small selection was issued on a 1971 LP and a 2-cassette set of the series' soundtrack was made available in the late 1990s.
In 1994, BBC Radio 4 broadcast the first of three series based on Morton's work. This featured Richard Ingrams, John Wells, Patricia Routledge and John Sessions from compilations prepared by Mike Barfield. Series 1 was also made available as a 2-cassette set.
The work of Beachcomber is in some ways parallel to that of Myles na Gopaleen, and the influence of both writers is evident in the Peter Simple columns in the Daily Telegraph.
References to Beachcomber are strongly pervasive in Private Eye, and there is a possible, but more tenuous, line of descent from it, via the Goon Show, to Monty Python.

The Oregon Department of Justice settled claims with Reliant Energy, and dedicated $1 million of the settlement funds to establish the CREFF under the Oregon Department of Energy.
Varies by project
'''''Note: This program is currently fully subscribed, but the program will reopen when funds are repaid back into the revolving loan fund.'''''
The Oregon Department of Energy (ODOE) provides grants for feasibility studies for renewable energy, heat, and fuel projects under the Community Renewable Energy Feasibility Fund (CREFF). This program is similar to the Renewable Energy Feasibility Fund, though the scope of CREFF is broader, as it offers grants to companies in the private sector. Renewable energy projects eligible for Oregon's [http://dsireusa.org/incentives/incentive.cfm?Incentive_Code=OR03F&re=1&ee=1 Business Energy Tax Credit] or [http://dsireusa.org/incentives/incentive.cfm?Incentive_Code=OR04F&re=1&ee=1 Small-Scale Energy Loan Program] are eligible for CREFF. Smaller scale heat and fuel generation projects are eligible, and generally electric generation projects sized 25 kilowatts (kW) to 10 megawatts (MW) will be considered.
Funding for the program comes from a settlement between the Oregon Department of Justice and Reliant Energy. $1 million of the settlement funds was used to establish CREFF under the Oregon Department of Energy. CREFF is designed to be a revolving fund, and projects that are ultimately constructed and are profitable are required to pay the state back for the initial grant amount.

The Fairfax County Inventory of Historic Sites
The Fairfax County Inventory of Historic Sites was established in 1969. That same year, the Historical Landmarks Preservation Commission, which had been in operation since 1965, was renamed the History Commission. The History Commission undertook six tasks, the first of which was: "Prepare for publication as soon as compatible with thorough historical, architectural and archaeological research, a classified survey list of sites, areas and structures in Fairfax County."1 This survey list became the Fairfax County Inventory of Historic Sites. Fairfax County hired Nan Netherton as historic research supervisor; Elizabeth David became her assistant. Mrs. Netherton left County employ around 1980 to focus on other history-related projects. Mrs. David remained on the Office of Comprehensive Planning staff as an Historic Preservation Officer until her retirement in 1999. Among her many other accomplishments, Mrs. David co-authored the Fairfax County Heritage Resource Management Plan, which won an Outstanding Achievement Award from the Washington, DC Chapter of the American Planning Association.
The Inventory itself is, quite simply, a catalog of historically significant sites within Fairfax County. Currently, there are approximately three hundred and forty sites on the Inventory. These resources range from the internationally-known Mount Vernon to more anonymous churches, bridges, houses, burial grounds, and objects. Equally significant are twentieth-century sites such as Holmes Run Acres and Hollin Hills. At least sixty of these sites have been demolished since the creation of the Inventory. Inclusion on the Inventory is an honorary designation, and does not impose restrictions or limits as to what an owner can do with his property. The Fairfax County Comprehensive Plan recognizes these sites, and lists them by area in the Heritage Resources sections. The Plan encourages their preservation when possible.
The lists of Inventory sites in the Comprehensive Plan were last updated in April 2013. Properties may have been added to the Inventory since that time and are therefore not yet included in the Comprehensive Plan. The Master List on this Web site contains every resource in the Inventory.
Anyone may nominate a property for listing in the Inventory. The History Commission requires that the owner be notified of the nomination.

The advancement of GM's LS engine platform is comparable to--and perhaps just as important as--the development of the original small-block Chevy. Introduced in the '97 Corvette, this "new" engine family replaced the traditional small-block and big-block Chevy engines from GM's powertrain lineup. It's currently found in numerous cars, SUVs, and trucks and is considered to be the GM V-8 engine of the foreseeable future.
Designed with the same 4.400-inch bore centers as the Gen I and Gen II small-blocks, the LS-series design, which includes a deep-skirt block and six-bolt main caps, has proved itself capable of supporting tremendous power. Not surprisingly, performance enthusiasts and racers alike have embraced the LS--particularly C5 and C6 owners who are packing various configurations of the engine under their hoods.
But just because the LS wasn't factory installed in one's Corvette doesn't mean it can't be used to power up an older car. The compact dimensions, lightweight aluminum block and heads, and burgeoning retro-fit market make the LS a smart, contemporary choice. And with a variety of carburetor swap kits, it's easy to drop an LS engine in a pre-EFI car.
The idea of building a powerful LS engine for an older car intrigued us, so we started bending the ear of World Products' Bill Mitchell. World recently introduced its own version of the LS engine in the form of the Warhawk cylinder block and heads. Although GM offers a number of production-based crate engines, Mitchell saw an opportunity to carve out a niche of the LS world for his company.
"The LS engine is the performance engine of the future," he says. "We think there's room for a high-performance-oriented family of components that is suitable for the street or strip."
Like World's Motown small-blocks and Merlin big-blocks, the Warhawk is based on GM's design, but with enhancements designed to improve strength and support greater power. It also has provisions for six bolts per cylinder head, which shores up one of the LS engine's few shortcomings: head sealing under very high load or boost pressure. GM Performance Parts' LSX block comes with six-bolt provisions, but it's currently available only in iron. The Warhawk block is a lighter-weight aluminum piece with iron cylinder liners.
Here's a quick look at the Warhawk's key features:
* Made of A357-T6 aircraft aluminum alloy
* Billet-steel main caps with APR 200,000-psi main studs
* Reinforced block design with six-bolt cylinder-head capacity
* Priority main oiling circuit
* The water jacket surrounds the cylinders and separates them from the head-stud holes. This increases the strength of the cylinder area and allows the studs to reach deeply into the block
* Two deck heights are offered: 9.240-inch (GM production height) and tall-deck 9.800-inch
* Can accommodate 4.000-inch and 4.125-inch bores (depending on the sleeves and requisite support)
* Motor-mount provisions from both early- and later-style engines
* Weighs only 133 pounds with the sleeves and main caps installed
When figuring out displacements, the Warhawk's 9.240-inch-deck block allows for a 4.000-inch stroke, which yields a maximum displacement of 404 ci (with 4.125-inch bores). The 9.80-inch deck enables a whopping 4.500-inch stroke, which, when combined with 4.125-inch bores, delivers a big-block-like 454 cubes. Because the tall-deck block pushes the heads farther apart, spacers are needed to run production-type intake manifolds. To anyone who's familiar with World Products' capabilities, it should come as no surprise to learn the company offers the spacers, as well as heads themselves. In fact, World manufactures two LS-style heads: the cathedral-port LS1X heads and the rectangular-port LS7X.

There has been a good bit of documented history surrounding the Mississippi State baseball program.
On Saturday, it encountered another milestone.
The No. 13 (Collegiate Baseball) Mississippi State Bulldogs held off the Portland Pilots 2-1 for MSU's 1,000th win at Dudy Noble Field.
"It's just a real credit to a lot of different people who have been through this program," MSU head coach John Cohen said. "(It's) all the players and all the coaches. It's just another milestone that makes you proud to say you're a part of this program."
The Bulldogs, who improved to 2-0 this season, are now 1,000-366-2 in 47 years at Dudy Noble Field.
MSU junior outfielder Demarcus Henderson's RBI single in the sixth inning proved to be the game winning hit.
The game was tied at 1-1 with runners at first third, when Henderson stepped up to the plate. With the bases loaded in the fourth inning, Henderson hit into a 6-4-3 double play to end the inning.
"I am not going to pass it up twice," Henderson said. "I remembering going back to last year we were playing Samford and the same thing happened. That's kind of been playing over in my head for a while. When I get the opportunity, I wasn't going to let it go to waste this time."
Henderson slapped a Travis Radke fastball into right field to score Daryl Norris from first to give the Bulldogs the lead for good.
"It's kind of hard to see his breaking ball," Henderson said. "For some reason, I was seeing a glare and it was hard for me to pick up my first at-bat. I was going to try to be as late as possible and still try to keep it fair."
The Pilots (0-2) threw sophomore left hander Radke. Radke went 6.2 innings. He gave up two runs on seven hits. He walked only two and struck out nine Bulldog batters. He also threw 114 pitches.
"(Radke) is very good," Cohen said. "He's an SEC caliber pitcher. He just changes speeds and nothing comes out of his hand the same way two times in a row. We kind of hung in there. I wished we would have done better against him, but this early in the year, I think he did a great job. My goodness, he went out there and threw (114) pitches. That tells you a lot if the guy is good enough to throw that many pitches this early in the year."
The Bulldogs started junior right hander Evan Mitchell. Mitchell pitched his way out of a jams in the early going. He struck out the side to get out of a first and second jam in the second inning. He gave up a leadoff double in the third inning, but used a strike out and two ground outs to get out of the inning.
Mitchell pitched five innings. He gave up one run on three hits. He walked three batters and struck out six.
"The exciting thing for us with Evan is the lack of big misses," Cohen said. "When he is not missing big, he's going to be successful."
The five innings pitched by Mitchell was the most since pitching eight against Austin Peay in the 2011 Atlanta Regional.
Mitchell gave way to Ross Mitchell who pitched one inning to get the win.
MSU's Ben Bracewell started the seventh inning by hitting Caleb Whalen. After getting a 1-2 count on Turner Gill, Cohen decided to bring in center fielder C.T. Bradford to get the final strike on Gill.
"We knew we were going to use C.T. in a situation like that," Cohen said. "This is the time of the year where we really need to be able to do it. We have enough outfield depth where we can run guys behind C.T."
Bradford threw five pitches and finally got Gill to go down looking.
"I had a feeling," Bradford said. "Ben did a great job getting two strikes there and putting me in a good position. We had gone over this in the spring. I got loose earlier in the sixth and I felt fine."
Jonathan Holder pitched the final 1.2 innings. He struck out four batters and recorded his 10th career save.
"They had a great lineup," Holder said. "A lot of them could really put the bat on the ball. (In) that eighth inning I came in, you really have to take caution with runners in scoring position, especially at third. I really, really tried not to give anybody a cookie, so they could just eat it."
The Bulldogs took a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning. Wes Rea led off the inning by getting on base after striking out, but raced to first base on the wild pitch. He made it to third base on Trey Porter's single to left field.
Hunter Renfroe attempted to lay down a bunt. He popped it up. Radke dove for it, but was unable to come up with allowing Rea to score from third base.
The Pilots only run came on a RBI single by Jeff Melby in the sixth inning.
Porter led MSU with two hits. Melby had two hits for the Pilots.
The Bulldogs will go for a sweep of the Pilots today. A doubleheader is scheduled. The first game is scheduled for 1 p.m. and the second shortly after the conclusion of the first.
Portland will give the ball to freshman right hander Zach Torson in the first game. MSU gives the nod to senior co-captain righty Kendall Graveman in the first game for his 30th career start.
The Pilots will let sophomore right hander Kurt Yinger pitch the nightcap.
The Bulldogs have yet to announce a starter for the final game of the series.

- Its really good, but oxidize on oily skin Review by patrice
Quality Value Price
This is the best mineral foundation ever. I have oily/acne prone skin. Minus one star, cos the color selection still a bit off on my Asian yellow undertone skin. The golden is suitable for caucasion skin more or Asian w fair/light skin (Chinese, Japanese or Korean). The honey light is too tanned, but lovely shade. I'm going to give a try on Honey Fair (wished they make it in loose version, too). From my experience, golden dark and honey light oxidize and make me so tanned/dark, esp in pics. When I first put it on the Honey Light, it's a close match, but 2 hrs later, I look so tanned, not glowy, make my whole makeup dark :(.

Unreal Tournament garnered many awards and positive reviews overall, in fact beating Quake 3, so a lot of attention was given to the game in the early 2000s, even after the sequel Unreal Tournament 2003 was released.
Up popped many large websites dedicated to the Unreal series, putting specific focus on Unreal Tournament. Amongst these were GameSpy's PlanetUnreal, the largest news website for the game series and Nali City (now no longer around), the largest website dedicated to custom maps for local and online play for the game.
These days, the Unreal Tournament community is much smaller than it once was but it is still active. At the moment (afternoon of 22 April 2012), there are 987 servers (107 of which are populated, consisting of a total of 497 players).

Below is a map of our current archive holdings. We are continually adding new content from smaller aerial photography libraries.
A Word about Our Archives
Each of our photographs is an authentic shot of rural America. We print each photograph onto an archival quality, ultra-flat, rigid board made of natural wood fiber. This process produces a print that will not yellow, fade or degrade from light exposure.
Please understand, however, that while our process is state-of-the-art, the photograph itself was taken with a film camera by a person in a small plane, up to 50 years ago. We do not retouch or sharpen the image. The art of each photo lies in part in its untouched authenticity.

The origin of this female costume was a 17th century Spanish dress consisting of two separate garments, a blouse and a long skirt. It is handsewn out of fine cloth with various types of stitching and embellished with braid-work and lace details.
It can take the expert seamstresses working in certain areas of the countryside up to two years of delicate craftsmanship to make this splendid garment.
We invite you to view our quick guide to the different types of polleras in Panama.
Basquiña (household blouse)
A white blouse worn by women to do their daily housework. It is accompanied by a single necklace, the ducktail chain, and earrings.
Zurcida Calada (openwork darning)
This pollera is handsewn on white linen cloth. Seamstresses and artisans in the town of San Jose then do openwork darning, an intricate embroidery stitch to fill in the design.
Pollera Marcada en Cruz (cross-stitch)
This is one of the most sought-after polleras because of the delicacy of craftsmanship required to sew it. Indeed, it is the most difficult to create, since the darning and shading work are designed directly on the fabric.
Pollera Sombreada (shaded)
The Shaded Pollera, also known as Powder in Shadow, is hand-made in linen cloth, and embroidery or openwork is then done by our seamstresses in San Jose. The technique is to place two layers of fabric on top of each other, usually of a single color, to be then darned (Pollera Sombreada Calada) or embroidered (Pollera Sombreada Bordada).
Pollera Montuna Santeña (originally from countryside in Los Santos)
The shirt may come with cross-stitching, darning, or shading in a color that matches the skirt, made out of chintz fabric.
Pollera Blanca de Lujo (elegant white dress)
This gorgeous white pollera is commonly used for traditional weddings. If you wish, they can come shaded or darned. The white one is a bit more affordable than those that come in colors.
Regional Polleras
La Pollera de Cinta o Cañita (ribboned)
This pollera is identified by the colorful ribbons that cross it horizontally, although it also has lace decorations like the rest of the elegant polleras. Although one of the most economical, it is just as beautiful of a pollera.
La Pollera de Coquito (floral Dutch Coco)
Our peasants of yesteryear used a type of cloth from Holland to make their dresses. La Pollera de Coquito tries to replicate that style by stitching or embroidering small flowers of one or various colors across the dress, both on the blouse and skirt.
The elaborate hair adornments come in a range of styles, colors and materials, whether colored pearls, satin fabric, or fish scales. No hat is worn, only ornamental hair combs are placed on either side and in the back of the head.
In conclusion, our national costume combines elements of dresses from different regions of Spain, that have been adapted to the climate of Panama and gradually evolved from the colonial era to today.

Well the second novel in 'The Long Earth' series has been announced. It will be called The Long War and has a release date of 20th June 2013. There is a synopsis which sounds intriguing.
The UK's bestselling novelist and a giant of British science fiction combine forces to write the first novel in an astonishing, mind-bending new series... "The Long Earth."
1916: the Western Front. Private Percy Blakeney wakes up. He is lying on fresh spring grass. He can hear birdsong, and the wind in the leaves in the trees. Where has the mud, blood and blasted landscape of No Man's Land gone?
2015: Madison, Wisconsin. Cop Monica Jansson is exploring the burned-out home of a reclusive -- some said mad, others dangerous -- scientist -- when she finds a curious gadget -- a box containing some wiring, a three-way switch and a... potato. It is the prototype of an invention that will change the way Mankind views his world for ever. And that's an understatement if ever there was one.
"The Long Earth" is the first in an exciting new collaboration between the creator of Discworld Terry Pratchett and the acclaimed SF writer Stephen Baxter.
Also there will be a new Science of Discworld book out next year too...

With a 2-2 draw in their regular-season finale against the Whitecaps on Oct. 2, the Timbers finished the regular season on a 10-game unbeaten streak and earned the No. 4 seed with a record of 13-7-10 (49pts). Portland ranked second in the league in fewest goals allowed (23) and among league leaders in shutouts (12) during the campaign. Midfielder Ryan Pore finished the regular season with 15 goals and earned the Golden Boot award as the league's leading scorer, while rookie forward Bright Dike finished tied for fourth in goals scored with 10.
The Timbers advance to the playoffs for the seventh time since 2001 and under head coach Gavin Wilkinson have reached the semifinals in two of the last three seasons (2007, 2009). The first-round matchup between Portland and Vancouver features a rematch of the 2009 USL First Division semifinals, in which the Whitecaps edged the Timbers 5-4 on aggregate after a thrilling 3-3 draw in the second leg of the series at PGE Park.
The first-round series marks the fourth time the Timbers and Whitecaps have met in the postseason since 2001. Of the three previous playoff series between the clubs, the Whitecaps have won two, including the 2009 semifinals. The Timbers defeated Vancouver by an aggregate score of 3-1 in the first round of the 2007 USL First Division playoffs.
In 2010, the Timbers were unbeaten against their Northwest rivals, posting a 2-0-2 record in the four-game, regular-season series and winning the 2010 Cascadia Cup. On July 22, the Timbers claimed their first win in Vancouver since the 2004 campaign, defeating the Whitecaps 2-1 at Swangard Stadium. Since 2001, the two sides have met 45 times, including both regular-season and postseason contests, with the Timbers posting an 11-18-10 record in regular-season matches against the Whitecaps. In postseason play, the Timbers are 1-4-1 against the Whitecaps and are still seeking their first playoff victory in Vancouver.
The Whitecaps finished the regular season in second place in the NASL Conference with a record of 10-5-15 (45pts) and enter the playoffs as the No. 5 seed. The Whitecaps allowed the fewest goals in the league during the regular season (22), and midfielder Martin Nash shared the league lead in assists with eight. Under head coach Teitur Thordarson, the Whitecaps won the 2008 USL First Division championship and made a return trip to the finals in 2009. Vancouver concluded the 2010 regular season with a 1-2-2 record in its last five games, but finished the campaign with just two home losses all season.
