Press reviews
"Made by Wither Hills, this is a really impressive, high-end Marlborough sauvignon, offering flavours of lively grapefruit, pear and lemon with some fennel and white-pepper complexity. It has extra dimensions and would complement the fish tabbouleh."
Jamie Goode, Sunday Express , 1st March 2015

TRAINING: I've been focusing on my grappling this camp. I've had a lot of world champion grapplers come in and I'm getting tons of rounds in.
Thoughts on opponent, Carlos Diego Ferreira? He's a dangerous threat. He's not well-known, but he's undefeated and a former Legacy champ. He can be a great fighter but he only has 10 fights. I have more fights in the UFC, including my TUF fights. He's an undersized 55er and I can put it on him with my experience and size.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I started around 2008, after I was done wrestling in college. I started because I felt I wasn't done competing yet. I still had the drive and love of competition in me and I needed to find an outlet.
What ranks and titles have you held? I have been ranked in the world before, but nothing of any significance
Do you have any heroes? Anyone who does what they love with passion and full heartily. If I meet some Joe Schmoe and they go after their dreams with everything inside of them, that is my hero.
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means I'm one step closer to my ultimate goal. All the hard work and sacrifice has paid off and I get to pursue my dreams.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? Utah Valley University in Orem, UT. Earned my degree in business marketing.
What was your job before you started fighting? Security at a bar
Specific accomplishments in amateur competition? Division 1 wrestler
Favorite grappling technique: Back control
Favorite striking technique: Left Hook

Two days. That's exactly how long Owen Priest owned his '10 Camaro SS before beginning to modify it. Just two short days to get acquainted with a brand new car and it was time to get to work. For many, that may be a normal time frame to take your new Camaro home and install some window tint or a new set of emblems. But, we're not talking about that kind of stuff here-we're talking about extensive modifications right out of the gate, like adding hundreds of horsepower at a time and being the first person in the country to accomplish a new goal or break a new record. Yeah, we're talking about Owen Priest, owner of Advanced Racing Dynamics in Houston, Texas. The guy who can claim the title of being the first nitrous powered '10 Camaro in the 9's and doing it when many thought it would be impossible. The guy that bought a '10 just to do research and development for his customers and the very guy that brazenly installed a monster 468ci LSX in his Camaro just months after picking it up from the dealership.
Unlike many other builds, Owen's Camaro isn't the result of a modding addiction turned serious or a snowball effect of horsepower adding parts over time. Oh no, this car was built with one purpose and each modification represents hours of technical research and cold hard testing in the real world. What started as a stock L99 Camaro SS quickly became a bolt-on and nitrous assisted rocket, which Owen managed to quickly take to the top of the Fastest '10 Camaro list with the stock motor, if only for a little while. "We have had the fastest record and we have watched it change hands," Owen told us nonchalantly, but "we know this car backwards and forwards now" and for one of the best builders in the country, that is an important skill to have.
After having his fun with the stock engine and learning a lot about bolt-on performance, Owen Priest decided it was time to step up the development program and throw some serious power at the Camaro in hopes of setting some records. Starting with the tried and true GM Performance Parts (GMPP) LSX block, Owen began by punching out the cylinder bores to 4.185 inches and finishing them for a set of forged Manley pistons that were built to bring final compression into the 11.5:1 range. Under the pistons, Owen installed a set of Callies Compstar rods and a 4.250-inch Callies crankshaft, giving him a solid 468ci bottom end with which to continue his testing.
Up top, Owen bolted on a set of GMPP LS7 cylinder heads that he gently worked over with a set of Del West valves and 16 LS7 rocker arms that he had modified with Comp Cams trunions. To get those rockers moving, Owen had Comp grind him a somewhat tame bumpstick (237/249 duration at .050, .674/.674 inches of lift on a 113 LSA) by race car standards and he carefully installed it down center of the block before buttoning up the long-block and moving on to the rest of the engine bay. As you can imagine, 468 ci of nitrous-fed, LS7-headed dominance requires a ton of airflow, which meant Owen couldn't just bolt any old intake before firing his Camaro up. Instead of a traditional ported unit or even an aftermarket composite intake, Owen ultimately decided to use a Carb-style GMPP intake manifold with an ARD-ported LS3 throttle body and an Edelbrock intake elbow, which he managed to fit under the stock hood for a stock-style look and feel.
Of course, "stock-style" means absolutely nothing once Owen fires this monster off in the staging lanes, because with 468 ci breathing out a pair of long-tube headers and 3-inch Borla XR-1 mufflers, there is absolutely nothing stealth about Owen's Camaro. And, really, why should there be? This car is about testing, sure, but it is also a rolling billboard for his shop, so attention is always a positive side effect of a great running car. Did we mention how fast Owen's Camaro went with the new LSX yet? No?! Well, you're going to have to keep waiting for a second while we talk about the drivetrain. In order to put down over 1,000 hp and 1,065 lb-ft of torque, Owen had to do some work but, amazingly, most of his upgrades would work in any Camaro, whether on the street or on the track from stock to well over 1,000 hp.

A Disney World dream vacation turned into a financial nightmare for a group of 120 dance students from Tennessee.
Blue Sky Journeys, a travel agency which claims to be Disney-authorized, has been accused of scamming the group out of more than $60,000 by accepting payments and then failing to make the agreed-upon travel arrangements, according to a Fox 17 WZTV report. Earlier this month, agency owner Melanie Swoap and her husband John Swoap were indicted on the charge—of stealing between $60,000 and $250,000, according to Nashville Scene—by a Williamson County grand jury. If convicted, they face eight to 12 years in prison.
District Attorney Kim Helper told WZTV that John Swoap also faces charges related to trying to deposit a couple of the dancers' checks twice—first electronically and then in person. Reached by phone at the number for Blue Sky Journeys (whose website is currently disabled), Swoap would not talk about the incident, except to say, "My wife is the owner. But we have no comment."
The school, according to WZTV, arranged the Disney World trip as a way to expose the dancers to the realities of performing for major outlets like Broadway and Disney. The trip had been booked since August 2012 through Blue Sky, but when the families arrived in Orlando, they found that the shuttle-pass numbers provided by the Swoaps didn't work. Then they got to the hotel only to find they had no rooms reserved—and no passes for the theme park. Several parents presented credit cards to book rooms and passes on the spot, and the trip went on as planned.

The holiday memories of a lifetime are all within reach at Caloundra - where the Sunshine Coast begins. Experience the uncrowded beaches with views of the heritage listed Glass House Mountains, the sparkling waters of the Pumicestone Passage, and a breath-taking coastal headland with interesting coves and sandy beaches.
Caloundra takes in several beaches each with their own personality and loyal devotees. There's Golden Beach, Bulcock Beach, Kings Beach, Shelly Beach, Moffat Beach, Dicky Beach and Currimundi.
The Caloundra Coastal Path stretches along some of the most scenic shorelines you could ever wish to see. The path is a continuous coastal link from Golden Beach in the south, around Caloundra Headland then Moffat Headland, before heading north following the long, sandy beaches of Kawana to Point Cartwright. Along the way it passes some historic sites including Military Jetty used for military operations in World War II, and the heritage listed Kings Beach Bathing Pavillion constructed in 1937. There are also magnificent views to enjoy at Moffat Beach, Kings Beach, Happy Valley and Bulcock Beach. The walk traverses some remnant coastal vegetation between Currimundi and Dicky Beach.
Kings Beach is Caloundra's premier surfing beach and just behind the beach itself is a modern playground area, barbecue facilities and an amphitheatre for major events. A giant water fountain provides hours of entertainment while in front of the Surf Club there's a unique foreshore swimming pool.
Explore the coastline on a cycling or walking tour, on a cruise, by kayak or hop on a jet ski. If you love a round of golf then tee off at the challenging Greg Norman-designed Club Pelican. Nearby Corbould Park is one of the finest regional thoroughbred racing facilities in the country.
Major attractions in the area include Australia Zoo, Aussie World and the Ettamogah Pub, Big Kart Track and the Queensland Air Museum.
It only takes one look and you're hooked on Caloundra as the place to refresh and rejuvenate.

Jamaal Franklin may be the only player in Division I hoops to lead his team in points, rebounds, steals and assists. But the San Diego State forward is also the top Aztec in less distinguished categories like turnovers, technical fouls and scowls.
Sure, you can admire the junior's talent. And yeah, you can appreciate his passion. But can you appreciate him?
Can you, in fact, root for Jamaal Franklin?
It would appear that for those who aren't Viejas Arena regulars, the answer is an emphatic no. Last week, a Twitter user posted a 32-man bracket to determine the "most hated player in Mountain West history" — where Franklin not only won, but received 19 votes to his opponent's five in the final.
Voters likely recalled images of Jamaal's taunting, whining, marathon rim-hanging sessions or all-you-can-smack-talk buffets. In fact, the NBA prospect frequently dominates message boards where comments range from "punk" to "drama queen" to "someone needs to knock his block off, seriously."
It would be one thing if these jeers were limited to The Lobo Lair or Rebel Confidential, where you figure envy would be as much a factor as enragement. But Franklin has the ability to polarize even his own fans, who can never seem to decide if they're mad at him or mad about him.
"I think if he were on any other team in the Mountain West, I would hate Jamaal," said Matt Bishop, an original member of SDSU's famed student section, "The Show." "And sometimes I think his attitude takes him out of his game."
Maybe. But it's what fuels his game as well.
Could you have told George Carlin to "tone down the language" and still expect funny? Probably not. Just like Quentin Tarantino couldn't cut out the blood and get you to the closing credits.
For better or for worse, bravado is Franklin's on-switch and recklessness his battery. Take either away, and his body may go limp.
Most people struggle to understand this. They look at Jamaal's 105 turnovers — 44 more than any other Aztec — and wish they could slip him a Xanax. They don't want the volatility. They don't care for the adventure.
They also don't matter. Not one iota.
You know who does matter? Aztecs coach Steve Fisher. And he speaks as though he couldn't possibly have a more prized pupil.
"As good as we were as a team, I have to start with Jamaal. For those that only look at a stat line, you don't appreciate what he brings to this team. He's the soul of our program," Fisher said. "I talked about what he had done before but if you're not in that locker room, if you're not out on that practice floor, if you're not on that bus, if you're not in the hotel, if you're not on that plane, you can't fully appreciate what he brings to this team."
You know who else matters? Franklin's teammates — such as point guard Xavier Thames, who said that whenever Jamaal broadcasts his emotions during a game, "it gets us all fired up."

Go to just about any Corvette show, and you'll likely come across at least one car that really stands out from the crowd. That doesn't mean that the rest of the Vettes aren't nice-some cars just have that "something" that makes people stop for a closer look. At a national "happening" with thousands of cars, like Carlisle or Mid America's Funfest, there's usually more than one such car. To be the star at one of these shows is difficult at best; there's just so many incredible cars to check out.
At Corvettes at Carlisle 2001, however, there could be little doubt that the star of the show was Rich and Barbara Lagasse's LS6-powered, Paul Newman-chassised, immaculately detailed '62 roadster. Even the Lagasses were a bit surprised at the reaction to their latest project, completed the night before they had to leave for Carlisle. There was a constant crowd around the car, keeping Rich and Barbara busy answering questions. "People kept coming back," Rich remembers. "They'd comment on how they were still noticing new stuff after two or three looks." Perhaps the biggest compliment, though, came from a member of the Corvette engineering team. An unidentified member of the group came back for another look, telling Rich, "You know, there's not too many cars that we end up discussing over dinner."
So how did the Lagasses, residents of Enfield, Connecticut, end up with the star of Carlisle 2001? Rich's love affair with high-performance started when he was only 10 and began racing (go-karts and endurance events) with his father, doing so into his early 20s. It's possible that Rich's Bow Tie enthusiasm started with his father's '54 Chevy, which, equipped with dual carbs and a high-lift cam, blew away his uncle's Ford. It was only after a long hiatus from American iron, however, that Rich returned to those roots.
Not that he gave up on performance. As Rich and Barbara married, started their careers (Rich ended up as a vice president with The Hartford Financial Services; Barbara still works as a nurse manager for Aetna), and raised their two sons, Rich stayed interested in performance cars. He went through a Porsche "phase;" in fact, he admits to having "been through all the German cars." The problem, according to Rich, is that he couldn't do much of his own work on these cars, and he wanted to get "hands on." The search for performance and a chance to get their hands dirty led the Lagasses to the Corvette hobby. They were involved with NCRS for nearly a decade, showing a highly optioned '66 big-block coupe. And while they enjoyed their time doing so, Rich and Barbara eventually found themselves looking for more variety.
Rich is clear about his reasons for wanting to blaze his own path when it comes to his Corvettes. When Rich found out how rare and valuable the '66 was, it got driven less. So, "we bought the cars to drive," is the first one Rich brings up. "And, we wanted to dive in and build a car that reflects how we think these cars should be. We want to improve the performance, in a package that's readily identifiable. Something creative and unique, but that maintains the integrity of the original. We want to follow our own rules, not 'the book.'" The idea behind these rules follows a concept that Lagasse calls "Pro Classic": the creation of a Corvette with "improved handling, ride, braking, comfort, and performance, while maintaining the integrity of the original classic design."
The first result of the Lagasses' new way of thinking was their '67 big-block convertible, itself a showstopper (see "Been There, Done That," Jan. '01). For their next act, and not wanting to cover what they call "old ground," Rich and Barbara decided to go even farther with their next project. For a starting point, Rich found a '62 roadster that was missing its original engine, and hadn't been driven since 1988. The old solid-axle was a bit too far gone for a restoration, which made it perfect for what the Lagasses had in mind.
Once the donor car was acquired, Rich went to work. His experience as a project manager was invaluable. "I picked the right teams for each task," he says. "People with skill and the proper attitude." What resulted is an assembly and fabrication process we couldn't begin to re-create here. The bulk of the assembly was handled by Lagasse and Arthur Bonneau of Bunjie's Hot Rod Shop in Brimfield, Massachusetts, but multiple tasks wre happening at once; at one point, parts of the '62 were in nine states and Canada. The much-condensed version goes something like this:

I'm proud to say I have NEVER been a fan of Karl Rove. I'm sure hes a nice guy, but I think that he thinks politics is all a game...
That's why his ego was competing with his forehead when he trashed Christine O'Donnell for beating Mike Castle for the GOP's senate nomination in Delaware.
If you like Rove go ahead and look up the man's life story. Unless I missed the part where he spent some time mowing lawns as a kid I'm pretty sure Barack Obama has more experience working in the private sector than Rove does if we can prove he's masturbated more.
Rove's entire life has literally been politics. Either he never knew the world outside it or he has completely forgotten. I don't doubt the core of his world view is a conservative one, but for him renewing GOP control of congress means Republicans get to have it all their way in "The Game" again.
For him RINO's can be used to help the ball move forward, which, like communism, is a fine theory in paper and not quite realized in practice.
This isn't about beating Democrats, this is about literally taking the country back from people who are literally trying to transform it into something different. If that means losing a race or two because of principal THIS TIME. I'm willing to take that hit for the longer term vision of working to restore the principals of liberty, self-sufficiency, and "In God We Trust."
We can never make that case if voters don't understand the pain of the leftist alternative, and they sure as hell will NEVER understand that if our messengers are squishes who keep one foot in that pool.
"It does conservatives little good to support candidates who at the end of the day while they may be conservative in their public statements do not event the characteristics of rectitude, truthfulness and sincerity and character that the voters are looking for."
He thinks conservatives don't do themselves any good voting for an O'Donnell over a total RINO like Mike Castle. Where does that argument end? Once Castle gets elected it does us no good to unseat him as an incumbent, so we have to keep him in office now don't we?
The argument now becomes how conservatives don't want to lose the majority, so now we have to perpetually support ideological craters like Mike Castle, whose character hinges on which party strokes his ego the hardest. That's a hole we can never dig ourselves out of. Then the agenda will never move forward because of hacks like Rove convinced us that we need RINO's like him to win.
He thinks this because its conventional wisdom for someone who has spent his life sitting in the side-car of the motorcycle of power for so long he has absolutely no clue what real people, driving in their cars with their windows up and their talk radio blasting, are thinking anymore.
Remember, this guy has been given the legendary status of being George W. Bush's brain. Its no wonder, to me, how that presidency ended up being such an abject failure. Bush's presidency did conservatives little good.
He might disagree, but Barack Obama, and William Ayers, and Karl Marx wouldn't.

On Monday, November 19, Community Relations Deputy Valarie Wright delivered boxes of nonperishable canned and dry goods to ALIVE!'s food program as part of an annual Alexandria Sheriff's Office tradition. Deputy Wright led a month-long drive among staff who donated food, like canned tuna and meat, jars of peanut butter, boxes of pancake mix, and breakfast cereals, as well as cash that was used to purchase more food. Monday morning, Deputy Wright delivered several boxes of food to Beth Campbell, a volunteer with ALIVE!'s food program that aids almost 1,000 families in need who are referred by local social service agencies and member congregations. ALIVE! (ALexandrians InVolved Ecumenically) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization of volunteers from more than 40 religious congregations and the community working together to help those in need in Alexandria.
In the afternoon, Deputy Wright and Deputy George Burnham assisted in Project Thanksgiving, an area-wide effort to provide families in need with complete Thanksgiving dinners. Deputies Wright and Burnham went to IBM in Gaithersburg to pick up 35 Thanksgiving dinners with turkeys and all the fixings and then delivered them to Hopkins House, an Alexandria charity that will share them with families in need. On Tuesday, November 20, Chief Deputy Tony DiCesare picked up eight additional dinners at Lockheed Martin in Manassas and deliver them to Hopkins House. Both IBM and Lockheed Martin provide the funds to purchase the dinners and their employees arrange for the food purchases and meal coordination.

Benjamin Schneider - http://prairiewindbeesupply.webs.com/
I dodged this bullet. Not Irene, earthquake, or the wind storm. My best wishes are with you
I also forgot to add that we are expecting 50 mph winds during that storm.
Benjamin Schneider - http://prairiewindbeesupply.webs.com/
It is here.
~1.5" on the ground now. The worst of it not expected until tonight-tomorrow (6PM through 8AM), with 2-4" falling per hour, and the last flakes stopping around 5PM tomorrow (Saturday). It is going to be a long 48 hours caged in the house with the kids, then snow removal on Sunday. There goes the weekend
I hope all our friends up in the Northeast and Canada do ok during this severe snowstorm. It's going to get bad. May you have minimal power outages and accidents. Be careful shoveling and watch your step!

Home > Belts - Wooden > Product Information
Wooden Belt with EAGLE WINGS Picture Design on Wooden Buckle
This is a Beautiful 100% wooden belt with a wooden buckle that has a picture of a Eagle with Wings wide open on it. This is a great belt that will enhance any shirt or pants.
The wooden belt is constructed with a wooden belt buckle, special structurally designed wooden clasp (not metal one) and many pieces of wooden slats that are connected with monofilament. For example a 42" (107 cm) belt is constructed with 133 wooden slats which is approximately 1/4" (.63 cm). The Dupont high graded monofilament runs through the entire belt to ensure flexibility and durability. There is nylon cord (mono filament) wound through the wooden slats that gives its flexibility which will allow the wooden belt to bend without breaking.
All of the wooden belts can be worn by males and females. We truly have a unisex product.

The belt uses highest quality hardwoods which are available in South East Asia, such as Pterocarpus Pedatus Pierre and Cassia Siamea Lamk. The wooden belts are made in Vietnam using trees from areas that are reforested after harvesting which makes it an eco-friendly product.
To take care of your belt, give it a little wax every couple of months. Some old English polish or scratch remover is very effective. These wooden belts have been manufactured since 1997 and some of customers still wear it with very few problems.
The belt comes with an elegant box to keep your belt safe.
The width of the belt is 32mm (approximately 1.25 inches).
The length of the belt can be used for waist sizes from 30 to 42 inches.

McReary crime family
this wiki
- If you are looking for Irish Mobs from GTA Chinatown Wars, see Irish American Killers
The McReary crime family is a family of Irish-American Mafia based throughout Liberty City in the HD Universe, headed by the McReary brothers. They operate in Dukes and formerly the West Side in Purgatory, Algonquin.
The McReary's used to be a powerful force in Liberty City, but its influence has diminished greatly as of late. The gang control Purgatory in Algonquin, as well as most of Broker, but the expansion of the Italian Mafia and Russian Bratva encroached on their empire. Also, most of the gang members have a tendency to spend their money on drugs, alcohol, and women rather than saving it and using it to expand the family's interests. As a result, the gang consists of mostly hired guns.
Events of GTA IV
Gerry has been in and out of prison over the years, significantly damaging any stability the gang hoped to maintain. With Gerry back in prison, the leadership has fallen mostly on Patrick 'Packie' McReary, the youngest of the family. Under Packie's control, the gang has been reduced to hired mercenaries for the Pegorino Family, working for the incompetent Ray Boccino, or dealing drugs for Elizabeta Torres. Other members include a former Provisional IRA member named Derrick McReary, the eldest brother, who has been crippled by heroin addiction. He was in charge of the gang but quickly relinquished control to Gerry, and has since alienated former members Bucky Sligo and Aiden O'Malley by allegedly giving them up to the Liberty City Police Department. Other members include Michael Keane and Gordon Sargent. The gang is also discredited by the fact that one of the McReary brothers, Francis, is ambitiously pursuing the job of Commissioner of Police. Such a connection is greatly damaging to the reputation of both parties.
Niko Bellic also works as a hired gun for the Irish. He was introduced to Packie through a mutual friend, drug kingpin Elizabeta Torres. In GTA IV, the McRearys drive modified Übermacht Oracles and green Contenders.
- Mr. McReary - founder/original leader †
- Gerald McReary - second leader (convicted)
- Patrick McReary - lieutenant/3rd leader (formerly)

- Derrick McReary †
- Bucky Sligo (formerly)

- The McReary Family own the two Irish pubs in Liberty City; Steinway Beer Garden and Lucky Winkles.
- Some of its members are used in One for All, Cops n Crooks.
- The gang's favorite radio stations are Liberty Rock Radio 97.8 and Liberty City Hardcore.
- The McReary's are mostly likely partly based on The Westies, which were an Irish American criminal organization. Just like the McReary's, the Westies operated in Hells Kitchen, which Purgatory is based on. The Westies too, eventually lost influence in Hells Kitchen due to gentrification, just as the McReary's did. The major members of the Westies were also jailed or killed, similar to the McReary's.
- If Niko is attacked by a pedestrian, one of the McReary's may come and assist Niko and will fight the pedestrian. However, they usually will just beat the pedestrian until they decide to run away and not usually kill them. This is also the case with the Jamaican Mafia. On occasion, they may pull out a Baseball Bat to attack the enemy. The McReary clan will only aid the player after the mission Harboring a Grudge. Before it, when Niko fires a gun at Steinway, Irish mobsters may go after him with a pistol or pump shotgun.
- In GTA IV multiplayer, one of the male characters uses the same dialogue as an Irish Mob member.
- Packie McReary left Liberty City some time between 2008-2013 and Gerald McReary is presumed to be in prison so it is possible that the group has disbanded, or someone else took it over, most likely Gordon Sargent. The gang may also have become the Irish-American Killers from GTA Chinatown Wars.

Midwest Living Review
The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens is a place you need to go -- there's no doubt about that. You'll love the gardens, and your kids will fall in love with the polar bears doing water tricks. But get your wallet out, because it won't be a cheap day. There are three entrances, and all paths wind around to exhibits like Rhino Reserve and Elephant Reserve, Tiger Canyon, Giraffe Ridge, Manatee Springs, Lords of the Arctic, Jungle Trails. Some of the buildings are historic and charming (like the Reptile House); others are more modern, such as Night Hunters. Most of the buildings are stroller-friendly, though the exhibits are usually not at eye-level (so be prepared to hoist little ones up to see fascinating creatures like the komodo dragons). If you have kids with you, definitely hit the Children's Zoo, where they can pet, brush, and feed goats and sheep. There's also a small playground and a nursery (where you can see the newest zoo babies). The patches of garden are lovely and clustered throughout the zoo. It's green and blooming around every corner. We love the Duke Energy Go Green Garden best because it has lots of great lessons about green energy (and a cool mosaic made from trash). Definitely stroll around picturesque Swan Lake, and hop on the train ($3/person) to get a good overall picture of the landscape. Speaking of interesting vantage points, the Cincinnati Zoo is the first in the country to have a 4-D special effects theater ($5). Overall, the zoo is delightful, and there is a great variety of animals to see. But, if you can, pack your lunch and just splurge on ice cream for dessert. The food is pricey ($24 netted us a mediocre hamburger and two baskets of chicken nuggets and fries), and admission is $15 per adult and $10 for kids 2 to 12 and anyone over 62. Parking is another $8.

The Kernels' season opener against Beloit will be broadcast live on KCRG 9.2 on Thursday night. The game starts at 6:35 p.m. CST.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - The honeymoon phase of a marriage is always the most fun, and the Cedar Rapids Kernels and Minnesota Twins are holding hands and making kissy faces at each other a lot right now.
The Kernels' first game as a Twins affiliate is Thursday night at Veterans Memorial Stadium with a 6:35 scheduled first pitch against Beloit. Ironically, Beloit was the Twins' low-Class A affiliate last season.
This new beginning for the Kernels has been all positive thus far. The club has seen a spike in ticket sales, visibility and excitement within the community after deciding to end a 20-year run with the Los Angeles Angels.
Folks from the Twin Cities even have made plans to drive south to see prospects like center fielder Byron Buxton. The Kernels also think they'll be able to reach more fans in Northeast Iowa.
"I think the Twins have been received well, and I think we've been received well by the Twins," said Kernels President Gary Keoppel. "We had a great run with the Angels, but it was time to make a change, and we found a great affiliate. Being around town, a lot of people you didn't know were Twins fans are suddenly wearing Twins garb. Which is great. The excitement that is here now I think will just continue to build as the kids who play here get to the big leagues."
These feelings are reciprocal, especially from Kernels players who spent last season in Beloit, which had the lowest attendance in the Midwest League, not to mention what is widely regarded as the worst ballpark.
"Definitely a lot nicer, a lot bigger here," said Kernels outfielder J.D. Williams. "We've got real lockers now, a lot more room for the guys to move around. It's a lot nicer, actually a stadium now. From what I saw last year, they get a lot of fan support here, too, so it's just all-around a nicer deal. I liked Beloit last year, but this is definitely a step up."
Those same kinds of thoughts were shared by Kernels catcher Tyler Grimes, who spent all last season and the latter portion of the 2011 season in Beloit.
"This is our job, and to go into an environment that we were stuck in in Beloit, it was showing up to our office and not really being the best of the best, you know?" Grimes said. "At times it was tough. Knowing that I'd been to this stadium and knew the facility and everything like that, it was just a different outlook going into spring training this year. The whole camp."
Even flying into the Eastern Iowa Airport from their spring training base in Fort Myers, Fla., Tuesday was a thrill.
"Being able to see the town, instead of flying into Chicago and having to drive about an hour and a half," Grimes said. "It was a positive imagery coming into Cedar Rapids and knowing that they've been preaching to us that you guys here are all excited for us. There were actually some Cedar Rapids fans down in Fort Myers coming around and watching us. It was good and real comforting."
The Kernels' housing program also is something the Twins are happy about. Cedar Rapids is unique in minor-league baseball in that it has an organized program with volunteer billet families for every player.
"The host family program here isn't something we're accustomed to in our organization," Kernels Manager Jake Mauer said. "For those people to open up their homes, for the community to allow us to come in here and watch our boys play is something that's obviously attractive to our organization. It's going to be a great experience for these kids."
Left-hander Taylor Rogers is expected to get the opening-night start for the Kernels. He was a combined 4-3 with a 2.25 earned run average in 15 games last season at Rookie-level Elizabethton and Beloit.
The rest of the rotation is right-hander Hudson Boyd, lefty Mason Melotakis, righty Tyler Duffey, lefty David Hurlbut and lefty Brett Lee, in that order.

Rollers can be used to paint large, flat surfaces in much less time than it would take using a brush. Selecting a roller cover depends on the type of paint (latex or oil) and the surface you're painting (smooth, rough or textured). Sherwin-Williams Roller Covers are available in multiple fabric types (synthetic, natural or blend) to match the type of paint used and in several pile depths appropriate for different surfaces.
Fabric Types
- Synthetic covers (nylon, dacron or polyester) - ideal for most latex paints.
- Natural covers (mohair or sheepskin) - should be used with oil-based paints. If used with latex paints, the water in the paint may swell the fibers, causing them to become matted.
- Blended covers (polyester / wool blend) - combines the extra pickup of wool with polyester for longer life. Can be used with all paints.
Pile Depth
Pile depth refers to the thickness of the roller cover's fiber nap. It's essential to choose the right pile depth for the surface you're painting. Sherwin-Williams offers six pile depths to meet almost any painting project:
- Very Smooth – for metal doors and plaster
- Smooth – for drywall
- Semi-Smooth – for drywall
- Semi-Rough – for rough wood and acoustic tile
- Rough – for textured ceilings and stucco finishes
- Very Rough – for concrete block, brick and fences
Pad Applicators
- Pad applicators are versatile enough for use inside or outside your home. These painting tools are ideal for exterior siding, concrete block, shakes, shingles and fences. They also work well on interior walls, ceilings, floors and doors.
Pad applicators are perfect for latex or oil base paints, stains, sealers or wallpaper paste. Pads produce a smooth paint finish without the spatter that rollers sometimes cause.
- Paint edgers are a version of pad applicators that eliminate the need for masking. They're designed for use on ceilings, doors, windows and baseboards.

There are stories I tell that are for everybody and there are those I tell out of earshot of certain people. Therefore, I'm only telling this one to folks in the Deep South where I'm sure my wife won't find out back in Virginia. You might ask why I would do that.
Because I think it's a pretty good one (but I also fear retaliation from my wife).
Recently, my wife celebrated a special birthday (her 50th) and like most men, I was pondering on what to get her. Women say they "don't want anything" or "don't spend too much," and it puts you in a bind. It puts you in a worse bind when your wife is the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the household. She's very good at it.
Well, I had to start somewhere. My oldest daughter is in college and good at picking things out, so I told her to think about it. Never send a 20 year-old girl out to shop for your wife's birthday present. They have not yet realized how long it actually takes to make enough money to pay for "nice things."
To make matters worse, I'm pretty sure my mother-in-law was with her. That makes for a "double whammy."
I get the call at work that my daughter has found "the perfect gift" and she starts in on asking me exactly how much I want to spend. I asked her, "Well, how much is it?" She said what every man (at least me) cringes when he hears. She said, "It depends on how many carats."
She was talking about diamond earrings that of course "would be perfect." I could hear a voice in the background saying, "It is a special birthday." I'm pretty sure it was my mother-in-law. My daughter listed the number of carats, along with the price tag on each. She wasn't at the WalMart.
After discussing it with her for a little while, I told her I would check my budget. That of course meant I had to check with my CFO (the birthday girl) on what I could spend.
My wife is practical, she really is. When she heard the amount, of course she made the executive decision that granite counter tops, a new dishwasher, refrigerator and a gas range would be a better use for a large sum of money. The earrings didn't cost as much as all that, but they were expensive (or "exspounsive" as they say).
I was in a bind.
The next day, I explained my predicament to my daughter. She said she would think about it (which meant she would talk to her grandmother – my mother-in-law).
She called me back.
My daughter suggested that I get earrings that were less expensive (loops with crushed diamonds or something instead of big ones that hadn't been crushed up). She also said I needed to make a move on a gas range. Knowing that I couldn't get a gas range installed in a few days (because there are no gas lines to my house), she suggested I at least note the gas people were coming to run gas to the house.
This seemed reasonable.
After talking to the gas company and pricing getting gas into the house, along with a gas range, the biggest pair of diamond earrings was starting to look like a bargain.
I made two stops on the way home. One at the jewelry store to pick up and pay for the less expensive earrings, the other stop was at the WalMart.
It is nice to go in and pick up a bag at the jewelry store and just pay. (The lack of thought here would of course get me in trouble.) I knew I could depend on my oldest daughter not spilling the beans on picking out the earrings for me. I made up for it at the WalMart.
This WalMart was one with groceries and I was going up and down the aisles looking for what I needed.
I found what I was looking for on the bottom shelf of an aisle where two older ladies had stopped their shopping carts and decided to talk right in front of what I needed. They were very nice and politely moved out of the way.
I picked up what I needed and one of the ladies asked me, "What are you going to do with all of those pork and beans?" I had gotten a can of pork and beans large enough to feed the congregation of a small Baptist church in Alabama.
"I'm glad you asked me that," I explained to the lady. Then I told her, "Let me run this by you. You see my wife's 50th birthday is today and she wants a new range. After pricing what it's going to cost to get gas in the house, I thought this would be a better option."
The two ladies of course started laughing – they were bent over laughing to be honest. As I left carrying the huge can of beans, one of the ladies warned me, "I sure would hate to be you tonight."
My wife appreciated the humor; the beans were in a nice bag. Everything was ok, she got the earrings and she will get the gas (from the gas company) and the new range and probably the countertops and everything else she wanted.
I'll be taking beans to the next office party.

I can give you a dozen links showing that the UK is one of the most dangerous places in the western world and most certainly the most dangerous of all western European countries. People act as if there is little crime but studies prove otherwise. Claiming that gun bans made the country a safer place. Really? The statistics don't prove that. It looks like violent crime is still up.
You used an exaggerated and misleading report by the Daily Mail - a tabloid newspaper that is similar in journalistic quality to Fox News. The murder rate in the UK is a quarter of that of the US and below that of European countries like Greece, Finland, Belgium, Luxembourg and the like; it is only 0.1 per 100,000 greater than France and 0.2 more than Germany. South Africa has a murder rate that is 27 times greater than the UK. If you'd have used respected sources you'd have realised that.
You are a scared individual. You don't like people carrying guns because you are scared of what people might do, the same with knives. I see the reason now why you are want guns banned because you have an irrational fear of guns and dangerous things.
And you wonder why people don't take you seriously? Rather than engage in a serious, intellectual debate you instead resort to petty insults. Other people have pointed out exactly the same thing. If you want me to sink to your level then I'd argue that it's you that is the "scared individual" because you feel the need to arm yourself to the teeth just to go about your daily life. But I didn't come into the topic to exchange childish remarks with other users, so I'd rather just go back to ignoring you.


text: Landscape Everyone dreams of having a bigger house. For years, people have turned to television to give them glimpses of what it would be like to live in one. Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous was popular in the 1980s; now, people are watching the likes of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. While the fantasies of the average homeowner used to stop when the show ended and he clicked off his television, these days homeowners really do want to make their dreams come true. And they're turning to landscape contractors to help them. Homeowners all over the nation are literally increasing the square footage of their homes by enhancing their yards. The backyard isn't just an area to visit or to admire from a window. It's becoming a living area, another den or great room. This new backyard is called an outdoor room. More

Our planet plays host to an amazing number of species and creatures great and small occur just about everywhere. Life can be found from the coldest, darkest depths of the oceans to the steamy jungles of the Amazon but we don't pay much attention to the vast majority of those life forms. This is because most are microscopic, insects, or small sea creatures that are all too easy to ignore. Ask almost anyone if they know what a tiger or panda is, though, and they will give an accurate description. It's the big and bold animals that are the stars of the animal world and these also happen to be the ones that look best when displayed in garden statue form.
Some animals dazzle by merit of their ferocious appearance while others show striking patterns and bright colors. The Tiger combines both of these aspects better than any other animal and thus makes an excellent subject for a breathtaking animal yard statue. The Power and Grace Sumatran Tiger Sculpture shows the power and incredible beauty of this big cat with accurate, exquisite details. Pair it with such beautiful statues as the King of the Beasts Lion Sculpture and Tian Shan the Asian Panda Sculpture and your garden will show some of the most eye-catching, incredible animal stars of our world.
Find these exquisite sculptures and dozens of other beautiful animal garden statues at Design Toscano today.

The city in the Baden region of Germany has an impressive record in three areas: energy + the environment, medicine + healthcare and technology + innovation. A close-knit network of universities, research establishments and high-tech companies make Karlsruhe an outstanding centre of innovation. The KarIsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is as much a household name for researchers as the Cyberforum is for IT experts.
Competent in energy + the environment: Karlsruhe is the model city for the state of Baden-Württemberg in the area of carbon neutrality, a member of the European Climate Alliance and active in the EU Covenant of Mayors for sustainable energy. EnBW, one of Germany's largest energy providers, has its headquarters in Karlsruhe. KIT is one of the leading scientific institutes in the area of climate and energy research and education and is also developing new energy concepts for the future in automotive applications and batteries.
Karlsruhe also offers a healthy mix in the medicine + healthcare sector. In the state of Baden-Württemberg, the largest location for pharmaceutical and medical technology in Germany and the second largest in biotechnology, the Karlsruhe region is one of the major centres of technology and headquarters of many companies in the sector; there is a particularly high concentration of manufacturers and suppliers in the area of medical-technical systems. Karlsruhe also hosts major regular medical events, which is clearly attributable to its extensive activities in research and education.
The same is true of technology + innovation, particularly in the IT sector. The Karlsruhe region is one of the leading locations for innovation and Europe's third largest IT cluster. Over 3,600 IT companies and technology users with international reputations and approx. 36,000 employees, Europe's largest computing centre and the CyberForum with over 900 members (one of the largest and most successful networks of high-tech entrepreneurs in Germany) impressively underline the capabilities and achievements of the region. The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) with 8,000 staff is, after all, one of the leading institutions in international IT research.
Trade fairs and congresses such as LEARNTEC, IT Trans and net economy are leading events in the sector and perfectly complete the picture for Europe's Silicon Valley.

June 24, 2009–January 4, 2010
This Surrealist object was inspired by a conversation between Oppenheim and artists Pablo Picasso and Dora Maar at a Paris cafe. Admiring Oppenheim's fur-covered bracelet, Picasso remarked that one could cover anything with fur, to which she replied, "Even this cup and saucer." Soon after, when asked by André Breton, Surrealism's leader, to participate in the first Surrealist exhibition dedicated to objects, Oppenheim bought a teacup, saucer, and spoon at a department store and covered them with the fur of a Chinese gazelle. In so doing, she transformed genteel items traditionally associated with feminine decorum into sensuous, sexually punning tableware.
MoMA Audio Collection, 2008, 519
Director, Glenn Lowry: Artist Jenny Holzer spoke about Meret Oppenheim's Object in 1988 at The Museum of Modern Art.
Jenny Holzer: This is an everyday object, but its also an otherworldly thing. It's sinister. It seems like a cup that could fight back. I suppose fur implies teeth, and so the cup could bite you, and I also like that its repulsive. When youre eating, there is nothing more disgusting than when you get hair in your mouth. I like that the fur would be a way to muffle sound. It's like she killed off the chit chat part of the tea ceremony. I think that it basically tells you that life is not what it seems.
Curator, Anne Umland: I think Jenny Holzer's quote touches on so many things that have contributed to the enduring fascination that this diminutive object has held for generations now. Created in 1936 in Paris it has a title bestowed upon it by André Bréton, the high pope of Surrealism, who called it "the lunch in fur."
Apparently purchased at a Paris department store, the teacup was then lined with the pelt of a Chinese gazelle. This whole notion about animating the inanimate, of something thats very familiar, safe, comfortingthat you normally encounter in a domestic situation, then like in a bad dream sprouts fur, and becomes this other, this thingis key to the way the piece works. It brings together bizarre, erotic, poetic connotations that are completely foreign, normally, to your prosaic teacup and saucer. This object reverses all sorts of expectations.
The Museum of Modern Art, MoMA Highlights, New York: The Museum of Modern Art, revised 2004, originally published 1999, p. 155
Oppenheim's fur-lined teacup is perhaps the single most notorious Surrealist object. Its subtle perversity was inspired by a conversation between Oppenheim, Pablo Picasso, and the photographer Dora Maar at a Paris café: admiring Oppenheim's fur-trimmed bracelets, Picasso remarked that one could cover just about anything with fur. "Even this cup and saucer," Oppenheim replied.
In the 1930s, many Surrealist artists were arranging found objects in bizarre combinations that challenged reason and summoned unconscious and poetic associations. Object—titled Le Déjeuner en fourrure (The lunch in fur ) by the Surrealist leader André Breton—is a cup and saucer that was purchased at a Paris department store and lined with the pelt of a Chinese gazelle. The work takes advantage of differences in the varieties of sensual pleasure: fur may delight the touch but it repels the tongue. And a cup and spoon, of course, are made to be put in the mouth.
A small concave object covered with fur, Object may also have a sexual connotation and politics: working in a male-dominated art world, perhaps Oppenheim was mocking the prevailing "masculinity" of sculpture, which conventionally adopts a hard substance and vertical orientation that can be seen as almost absurdly self-referential. Chic, wry, and simultaneously attractive and disturbing, Object is shrewdly and quietly aggressive.
