CARLETON — It was a big night for the Carlsons Friday night in girls basketball.
Val Carlson scored 21 points as Gibraltar Carlson won its season opener 62-54 over Airport in Phil Carlson's coaching debut.
"We played pretty well," said Phil Carlson, Val's father. "It was back and forth for quite a bit. I was happy with our defense. The press worked for us."
Airport coach Greg Roberts added, "I can't complain other than the fact that we had 28 turnovers. We did a good job on the boards but gave them too many layups. We were down 15 or 18 points and got it down to two with a minute left, then turned it over four times in a row."
Taylor Cole scored 17 points, Sam Lanham added 11, Fallon Vasiliauskas had 9 and Livie Kleinow contributed 11 rebounds for the Jets who also got good performances from their new players.
Carlson's Kristina Poole scored 14 points, Brittany Gniewek added 12 and Evie Crampton had 8 points and 9 rebounds and played great defense.
The Marauders won the JV game 30-18.
Whiteford 53, Erie Mason 17
ERIE — Whiteford held the Eagles to four field goals and ran its record to 2-0.
Mariah DuPree scored 10 of her 16 points in the first quarter as the Bobcats raced to a 19-4 lead. Jordan Kiefer and Megan Ortmann added 10 points and Marissa Brodbeck scored 8.
"We really wanted to focus on defense this season," Whiteford coach Jay Haselschwerdt said. "Our defense was pretty good tonight. Jordan Kiefer was very aggressive and did a great job."
Taylor Miller and Jaelynn McGarry scored four points for the Eagles in their opening game.
Whiteford was 36-6 JV winner. Rachel Fisher led the winners with 8 points.
Dundee 45, Tecumseh 41
TECUMSEH — The Vikings led the whole game and withstood a Tecumseh surge in the fourth quarter.
Alli Salenbien scored 10 points and Amy Littlefield did a good job off the bench, scoring 6 points.
"Brittany Slinker did a nice job of protecting the ball and hit all of her (five) free throws in the fourth quarter," coach Rod Layton said. "Overall we broke the press pretty well and played good team defense."
The Vikings are 1-1.
Tecumseh took the JV preliminary 32-18.
Huron 52, Cabrini 49
ALLEN PARK — Kiara Kudron stepped up in a big way as Huron opened its season with a victory on the road over Allen Park Cabrini.
The senior scored 28 points as the Chiefs came from behind after trailing by four points at halftime. Maggie O'Hotzke and Hailey Richardson added 8 points.
"They stepped up. We played much better in the second half after a very frustrating first half," coach Ed Wickenheiser reported. "Kiara was very patient and played a very, very nice game. She stepped up when she needed to. I love how she's kind of taken charge this year and become more aggressive with her scoring."
Cabrini won the JV game 30-26 despite Savannah Floyd's 12 points.

Use nutrition to stoke your sex drive! Why young moms aren't "into it."
You think I'm going to start talking about chocolate syrup and strawberries in the bedroom as props. I'm not. I have WAY better advice than that.

Re: wassup with Bosher?
I think he was trying to keep the ball away from Washington as opposed to flip field position. Didn't want to gift them an easy 7 points by making a bad kick. Now you can certainly still argue that even with that intent, he still didn't execute that very well.

YIELD: Makes 10 first-course servings
ACTIVE TIME: 1 1D2 hr
TOTAL TIME: 7 hr
Make pork:
Cut pork along the grain into long 1 1/2- to 2-inch-wide strips. Remove and discard any sinew but do not trim fat. Transfer pork to a large sealable plastic bag. Stir together remaining pork ingredients in a small bowl until combined well. Add to pork and turn to coat, then squeeze bag to eliminate as much air as possible and seal. Marinate pork, chilled, at least 4 hours but no longer than 24.
Put oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 375°F. Put 1/2 inch water in a 13- by 9-inch roasting pan and place a metal rack across top of pan (rack should not touch water).
Remove pork from marinade, reserving marinade, and arrange pork strips 1 inch apart on rack. Roast in oven 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring marinade to a boil in a 1-quart saucepan, then boil 1 minute (marinade may look curdled). Remove from heat.
Brush both sides of pork with some marinade and roast 10 minutes more. Generously brush both sides of pork with marinade again and roast, basting 2 or 3 times, 10 minutes more.
Increase oven temperature to 400°F and roast pork until strips are mahogany-colored and caramelized on edges, 10 to 15 minutes more (pork should roast for a total of about 50 minutes). Transfer to a cutting board and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 10 minutes.
Make dressing while pork roasts:
Blend together all dressing ingredients in a blender until smooth. Stir before using.
Cook noodles and beans for salad while pork finishes roasting:
Soak noodles in cold water to cover until pliable, about 15 minutes, then drain in a colander. Cut noodles in half with kitchen shears.
Cook beans in a 5- to 6-quart pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, until crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer with a skimmer or slotted spoon to a large bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking, reserving cooking liquid in pot. Drain beans and pat dry.
Return bean-cooking liquid to a boil, then cook noodles, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 2 minutes. Drain noodles in colander and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Drain noodles again, then spread out on paper towels and pat dry.
Assemble salad:
Cut as much pork as desired for salad across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
Toss noodles with 1/4 cup dressing in a bowl. Toss long beans with 2 tablespoons dressing in another bowl.
Arrange pork, noodles, beans, and remaining salad ingredients on a large platter. Drizzle with some of dressing and serve remaining dressing on the side.
Cooks' notes: · You can substitute pork tenderloin for the pork butt. · Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Bring to room temperature before using. · The intensity of the flavor fades when the pork is sliced, so cut it as needed. Unsliced pork keeps, wrapped in foil and chilled, up to 3 days, or frozen, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in a sealed plastic bag, up to 1 month.

Every week, literally dozens of new games make their way onto Apple's iTunes Store, but which ones are worth your while? Some outstanding examples are no-brainers, such as EA's recently released mobile version of Madden 12. But others quality games without the big-name brand recognition are harder to spot. Never fear--GameSpot is here to help you make this tough gaming decision, with our weekly look at the best releases giving you some sage advice on what's worth your time (and your money). So what have GameSpot's global editors been playing this week?
Crimson: Steam Pirates -- iPad
First up, despite what you may have heard, Crimson: Steam Pirates was not created by Bungie, the team behind the ubersuccessful Halo franchise. But developer Harebrained Schemes did partner with Bungie's aerospace division, which is a part of Bungie specifically created to help small dev houses with their mobile and social games. The result is an impressive steampunk-pirate naval adventure, with the added bonus of being free for iPad owners. The game has you controlling a small fleet of ships in turn-based battles, navigating your way around the Caribbean as you fight against the British navy and pesky Confederate forces. You play by drawing your fleet's paths along the ocean, using occasional power boosts, such as the ability to travel extra distance, repair your ship, increase your rate of fire, and more. You'll have to play strategically to best position your ships against the enemy fleet, and there's even a light card-battle-type game mechanic that kicks in when you try to take over a ship. Crimson is a great little package with compelling gameplay, and there are also two pass-around multiplayer modes included as part of the free bundle. While the first chapter of the game includes eight missions, subsequent chapters will cost you real-world money to download (chapter 2 is available now, with the third upcoming). But there's plenty here already that's free, and with its fun take on the line-drawing/pirate genre, it's a game that iPad owners need to download now.

Jetpack Joyride -- iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad
Aussie mobile game studios continue to represent the land Down Under. Last week, Firemint (creator of Flight Control) debuted its newest game Spy Mouse, and now it's Halfbrick's turn. This week, the creators of Fruit Ninja unleashed Jetpack Joyride (formerly known as Machine Gun Jetpack), which is the newest adventure starring the badass, shotgun-wielding Barry Steakfries. Steakfries--seen in such games as Age of Zombies and Monster Dash--is back in another auto-running adventure, where the objective is to once again to avoid obstacles and enemies for as long as possible. Yes, it's a genre that's pretty saturated on the iOS, but amazingly, Halfbrick has produced a game that feels fresh, exciting, and more than a little addictive. So what does Jetpack Joyride do to machine-gun its way above the throng? For one, it controls like a dream, with Steakfries' default machine-gun jetpack being a fun way to navigate your way past the various obstacles you'll come across. There's also a whole load of sweet rides that you can use, including a mechlike stomper, a gravity suit, a mechanical bird, and Steakfries' signature motorcycle. These vehicles add a lot of variety to the game because each controls in unique ways. Jetpack Joyride also has plenty of features that keep you coming back from more, including an upgrade system where you can upgrade new jetpacks, vehicles, special powers, and more using coins collected during your play-throughs. There's even an achievements/mission system embedded into the game. If you think you're done with the auto-running genre, then think again because Steakfries just came stomping back into town.

Pocket RPG -- iPhone/iPod Touch
Pocket RPG has been grinding along on the iPad for a while now, but the game has been finally been released for Apple's smaller iOS devices. Essentially a loot-based role-playing game that's played as a twin-stick shooter, Pocket RPG lets you play as three class types (the standard fighter, ranger, and mage classes) as you battle your way through randomly generated dungeons filled with a large number of enemies. The game's cute graphics belie surprising depth here; there are several upgrade options available for each of the three classes, as well as various weapons and abilities that can be improved. It's an appealing game that's easy to control: You use one virtual joy pad to move your character and the other to choose the direction in which your character attacks. It's fun--if a little simple--but the game dangles just enough level-ups and new loot to keep grinding a relatively fun experience.
Buy Game
Frogger Decades -- iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad
Remember Frogger? Sure you do, he's one of the gaming world's most iconic characters, having bounced his way across highways, logs, and turtle heads on a variety of gaming platforms for the past 30 years. OK, so maybe some of you may not have played much of the green-skinned hopper's games recently, but he's back to remind us of the pleasures of carefully avoiding obstacles. Frogger Decades is a whole new take on the old Frogger formula. Yes, you'll still have to bounce hop-by-hop past turtles, hippos, and traffic, but the levels now are much more diverse, stretching over several screens as Frogger tries to make it to a safe spot at the end. Frogger also now has a limited time to bounce his way to the end, with his energy meter slowly depleting the longer you take. You can eat bugs to replenish energy, but you'll need to navigate your way past a whole lot of dangerous objects and creatures to get the sweetest bugs. Not only has the gameplay changed, but the graphics have also been given a significant upgrade. Frogger Decades, too, presents a good level of challenge. From the second level onward, timing and quick reflexes will be needed to get your frog to safety.

DrawRace 2 -- iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad
You know how you've spent a dollar here and a dollar there on one-trick arcadelike games for you devices, and each of these games only really offers you one game mechanic that you probably got bored of if you played it for too long in any one sitting? Well, let us introduce you to MiniGame Paradise, which is a compilation of the one-trick game style so prevalent on mobile phones. You get 10 in this pack, which includes such minigames as a Canabalt-style auto-running game where you have to jump over opponents; a schmup-like shooter; a ski-slalom type event; and much more. Each game can be addictive in short bursts, which is the beauty of MiniGame Paradise because you can quickly switch to another game once your boredom meter starts to rise even slightly. It's all presented in an ubercute, Japanese style of animation where furry animals and stick-figure-like humans inhabit the quirky gameworld. There's some good progression to be had, too, with different characters and content to be unlocked as you make high scores in its various games. There's even a very light RPG-like element, where you can "train" your characters to improve their stats. The major drawback is that not all of the games are unlocked at the start, and you'll have to spend stars earned while playing the minigames to open up new challenges.

Flick Tennis: College Wars -- iPad
There are plenty of sports games on iOS devices, but Flick Tennis is one of the best mobile interpretations of tennis out there. All shots and player movements are controlled via finger gestures. You have a good amount of control with both shot selection and direction, depending on how and where you swipe your finger. Swiping up, for example, results in simple forehands or backhands, while swiping down with two fingers does a lob. This, coupled with having to choose the direction of your swipe, gives the gameplay good depth because you'll need a good amount of skill (and, as is usual in tennis, a little forethought) to outwit your opponent. Flick Tennis also has a unique presentation; each of the "chapters" in the game is preceded by comic-book-style sheets outlining the game's story. Flick Tennis has a free version that gives you the first chapter (and opponent), but shelling out real cash unlocks all 11 chapters.

(AP) A brother and sister who allegedly forged a court document to get out of school now have a court date for real. Woonsocket police officials told The Providence Journal the siblings sneaked a genuine Family Court document with a date to appear in court from a relative, scanned the letter and forged the name of a clinical case manager.
Police said the brother, a 16-year-old Woonsocket High School student, used the forgery to get out of school once in November.
His 17-year-old sister, a pupil at the Woonsocket Area Career and Technical Center, allegedly used the letter three times in January.
Police arrested the siblings Wednesday, charging the brother with one count of forgery and the sister with three counts. They're expected in Family Court next week.

Cute animal photo of the day: twin cottontop tamarins born in London ZooJeremy Hance
February 23, 2012
|Mongabay.com features a Picture of the Day several days a week
Newborn twin cottontop tamarins clinging to their parent's back. Photo courtesy of ZSL.
Twin cottontop tamarins (Saguinus oedipus) were born in the Zoological Society of London's (ZSL) zoo in London this month. Mother Sabi gave birth to the pair after five months. Currently the twins are only five centimeters tall (two inches) tall. Tamarins, tiny new world monkeys, usually give birth to twins.
Found only in Colombia, cottontop tamarins are listed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN Red List. Currently it's estimated around 6,000 individuals survive in the wild. The species has lost much of its habitat to deforestation and even in protected areas faces pressure from on-going human pressures. Dams have also had a major impact on the region. Cottontop tamarins area apart of the World's Top 25 Most Threatened Primates list.
When full grown these cottontop tamarins will be about the size of a squirrel. Photo courtesy of ZSL.

Type 2 diabetes is characterized by impaired endothelial dependent vasodilatation which may contribute to the high prevalence of vascular disease in such patients. Although hyperglycaemia, dyslipidaemia and hypertension can all independently cause a similar defect, recent data suggest that endothelial dysfunction may be intrinsic to the insulin resistance syndrome that commonly precedes type 2 diabetes. Such abnormalities in endothelial function could represent the impact of subclinical disturbance of metabolism or alternatively the presence of a common cellular defect that influences both nitric oxide bioavailability and insulin mediated glucose disposal. Resolution of this puzzle is likely to lead to important advances in our knowledge and ultimately treatment of vascular disease.

Abu Dhabi to boost retail space
Issac John / 21 December 2010
DUBAI - New shopping centers and expansions of existing facilities will soon make Abu Dhabi one of the most retail-concentrated cities in the world, according to London-based global property broker Cushman & Wakefield,
Abu Dhabi is set to surpass Dubai's per capita retail concentration by the year 2015 when its retail space doubles to nearly 1.8 million square metres, Cushman & Wakefield said in its report.
Abu Dhabi offers an estimated 936 square metres of shopping space per 1,000 residents, it added. Dubai now offers more than any other city — 1,400 square metres of shopping space per 1,000 people. The US has about 1,000 square metres per 1,000 people, and European countries have just over 200 square metres per 1,000 people, the London-based experts said in the report.
While Dubai and most other major cities aren't anticipating significant retail space expansion over the next five years, Abu Dhabi has plans for new shopping malls on the scenic Reem and Yas Islands, the report stated. Projects planned for the next five years will push Abu Dhabi's retail concentration to 1,700 square metres per 1,000 people, the company said.
According to Cushman & Wakefield, retail occupancy rates in Abu Dhabi presently hover around 90 per cent. However, the new retail venues will likely saturate the market.
"That's good news for renters as they begin entrepreneurial ventures, and it's also good news for communities. As traditional malls become commonplace, market forces will encourage innovation," the London-based broker said.
"Community developers envision well-planned town centers that serve not only as places to shop, but also as places for fine dining and other leisure activities," it added. The Abu Dhabi Mall is one example of a shopping center that's becoming a town center, Cushman & Wakefield said. The mall opened in 2001 with 220,000 square metres of floor space, but today it features a range of family and corporate housing options in addition to more than 200 retail outlets and 40 restaurants, it added.
Global real estate consultants Colliers International projects for Abu Dhabi a potentially balanced retail platform by 2015 while Dubai shopping mall space is set to increase 30 per cent by 2013 leading to an oversupply in retail rental market. "Abu Dhabi, which remains undersupplied in leasable retail areas, is likely to see an increase to 874,500 square metres in 2013, and almost 1.1 million square metres in 2015," said Colliers in its report.
As developers continue to build malls in a saturated market, the market will see an oversupply of over one million square metres of gross leasable area in 2013, the report said.
"While the Dubai retail sector does benefit from strong tourist demand, the fallout from the global financial crisis is likely to have a dampening effect on this external demand," it added.
The gap between prime and second tier mall space is also likely to widen, the report said.
Stuart Gissing, regional director of Colliers International, warned that landlords will have to fight harder to keep their retail tenants. "The discretionary spending habits of consumes are shifting and we are seeing retailers purge their brand portfolios in line with this," he said.
"Currently we have a cat and mouse situation with some landlords offering perceived relief positions by tweaking their mixes or lease terms to attract new product. This is a very short term tactic," he said.

Kellen Moore earned his second Western Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week award following his performance against Louisiana Tech on Oct. 1.
Moore completed 20 of 28 passes for 325 yards and two touchdowns in the team's 38-3 win. His touchdowns went for 13 and 44 yards, and he completed passes to 11 different receivers. Moore finished the game with a passing efficiency rating of 185.36. He also rushed four times for 11 yards.
He received his other league award after completing 25-of-37 passes for 386 yards and three touchdowns in Boise State's 37-32 win at Oregon on Sept. 20. Moore again completed passes to 11 different receivers and had touchdown passes of nine, three and 73 yards to three different players.

Ian Johnson was the last Bronco player to earn multiple offensive player of the week honors. As a sophomore in 2006, Johnson also won the award three times.

Judd-406, Pollock-476, Repunched Date
Design. The regular dies for the Indian cent, now including Longacre's initial L. Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge. This 3.2 gram pattern contains 77% copper and 23% nickel, per the NGC analysis. The bust point is even with the left serif of the 1, and the date is clearly repunched, identical to regular issue variety Snow-1.
Commentary. Andrew Pollock noted two different obverse dies. His variety 475 has the bust point well left of the 1 in the date, and variety 476 has the bust point exactly over the serif of the 1, as on this example. However, Pollock made no mention of the boldly repunched date on this obverse die.
Physical Description. Along with quite a sharp strike for the high nickel content, this coin's brilliant light tan surfaces give new meaning to the term "white cent." This piece is pristine with reflective surfaces and minimal contact marks.

SPRINGFIELD - It's been almost two weeks since the partial government shutdown. A lot of people are out of work and frustrated because of it. Not only that, you might start noticing it in refrigerated section.
All across the country, the craft beer industry is exploding. In the last few years, hundreds of small-scale breweries just have burst onto the beer scene. "We typically have about 11 or 12 beers on tap that we make right across the street" says Casey Conn, Manager of Obed and Isaac's in Springfield. "That is the big draw."
To keep customers coming out, craft breweries always have to think up something new to put in the kettle. "That's the one thing I like about it. It's always something different. People making up different recipes trying different things and adding different flavors to it."
But, the government shutdown is threatening that. The agency in charge of regulating new beer flavors is on furlough and that could mean you miss out on your favorite brewery's next batch because no one's around to approve the label.
Obed and Isaac's doesn't have to worry about that since they don't bottle and distribute their beer. But, for other microbreweries that do, the shutdown could be devastating. "I bet you're going to see a lot more home brewers"
Brewers say even if the shutdown last a lot longer, they'll find a way to keep the glasses full. "We'll adapt and overcome. We'll just have to come up with a little bit different strategy". And loyal customers say not having new brews won't be the end of the beer world. "Sometimes they're out of my favorite one so I have to try different beers so it's always an adventure seeing what they have on tap."
The agency is also in charge of approving permits for new up and coming breweries. If they don't already have all of their paperwork finished they will have to wait to open.

Best place to meet serious, mature guys...
I recently got in an interesting conversation with a few friends, so girls and guys, what are the best places to meet serious potential boyfriends... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Special events are the best places to find guys. Sports, art festivals, town fairs and the like. Events that hosts hundreds of people out in the open just having a good time. But when you serious consider it, sometimes the best men you can ever find have been standing next to you every day. What most women think of a good man(tall, drop-dead handsome, rich, race-specific, athletic) is a bit different from reality. Many of the best choices are men who are not so tall and not so great looking but have their heads on straight, gets involved in life and does not have 4 kids with 3 different women. Try going to events you may not even think twice about such as renaissance faires, civil war reenactments, anime conventions or low-exposure sports like college wrestling, baseball, lacross or even field sports like archery. You must might be surprised how many down-to-earth gentlemen you will find, even at those geeky anime conventions.
Clubs is not a good place to look for men ame with bars and churches. But all this really depends on what is it you are looking for in a man and what you want to do with them.
What Guys Said 12
What you say could work. I still say the best way is meeting people in social events like parties and such.and I'm not talking about the crazy college parties, but once you start working lets say at a company, people thn have some type of social event; you show up to that,and you get a exposed to other people, and maybe meet a guy that way. I know my friend has tried churches, but the deal with that, is that there are a bunch of weird guys that go to those to specifically meet women! :P
I completely agree here.
It's all about the social setting and the rules that govern them. The museums, church or bookstores consist of people with different agendas, usually to study, worship or amusement. Whereas parties, clubs or even bars usually have people who are there purely for social interaction.
Now the quality of people in these gatherings will obviously vary from where and who but generally speaking, those are the best places to meet guys and girls.
I totally disagree that church is a bad idea. If you are looking for moral fiber and a person who has a stable idea of how to live (serious, mature) church is perfect. We all need help whether we admit it to ourselves or not, pick the people who are mature enough to admit it and desire to become to improve as a person.
Look up stats on couples with strong spiritual lives, they often have better sex, are healthier, and raise better kids.
Remember, like anything else you have good examples and bad examples. Learn the difference between both and you'll find a great guy.
Always a fan of coffee shops, largely because I enjoy tooling around with books, and chasing the opposite sex isn't really the point of the activity. Also, coffee shops in/near bookstores provide free context to strike up a conversation. Bars tend to put a bit of pressure into things, so most people I run into tend to force conversations along (rather awkward), or become shy, and just stand around (equally bad, but easier to overcome).
Really, though, be open to meet people (and not for dating alone) pretty much anywhere. I've met some interesting characters on the NY subway, airline flights, in lines for concerts, while repairing a fan for Habitat for Humanity's re-use center, and a bevy of other places that I wasn't really looking for.
I'd suggest not really going "date-hunting". Simply roaming around, looking to meet interesting people is far more fun, and tends to lead to some entertaining stories, as well. And if something more comes of a random encounter, so be it.
I voted schools because really, education is serious business. That said, not everyone there is going to be serious, you have to view how they treat their studies.
In theory you can meet them everywhere. Serious mature guys can go to bars and clubs. You can pick them out by how they conduct themselves around others. Do they get really drunk, or drink responsibly? Do they hit on everyone, or have fun dancing and be polite?
It's easy to go museum/art gallery route, but a lot of guys know going there makes them look cultured and might be there to score. It's a long route, some guys might even learn about it the art just to do it, lol. That's actually a hobby really, being serious and having a mature understanding of history doesn't mean you're mature and serious about other aspects of your life. Sometimes people only have certain parts of their life together.
Coffee shops are great and full of nice people but starting conversations is awkward and rude, I know when I go I'm there to read the paper or something not get hit on.
Church or religious activities are a BAD idea. There is nothing mature or serious about going to them. Some people do it because they're in a bad state and need help, others to look like 'nice guys' so that girls will like them. Don't do it!
If you want a good guy don't look in a club. I don't look for women in clubs because we both go there for one reason to get laid. Not saying everybody does that but most do. There is all kind of places, stores, mainly everyday living there is always a good guy that pass you by and all you need to do is say hi.Based on the environment of the place that would decide what kind of person he or she is, so keep that in mind as well.
coffee shops, cafes, and restaurants for sure.
Bars and clubs (dance clubs) are for people looking for a good time for a limited time.
I believe that people often have the best first impressions and best conversations over a meal. this same practice is used in the business world during "lunch conferences" "meeting the new client" or wining and dining the prospective customer. Food and drink is the international language of "hi, nice to meet you, I hope I get to know you".
I agree with you though, I've met some pretty cool girls working on organized projects (interest group oriented)
I think a coffee shops are a great place to meet people in general. Most people who go to a coffee shop are social business people anyway. They usually have a routine of being at the shop at a certain time of day during the week. Besides the coffee shop, the beach has been a great place for me to meet new people.

I think something like an art gallery or a concert is a good place to meet guys; or similaly a sports event. Something which highlights a person's interests.
If both of you are there, there is some obvious common ground and shared interest. Something which could lead to an initial conversation.
It really depends on what you're looking for in a guy.
For me, I meet the most eligible guys in school, because I'm still a student. But I do agree that coffee shops are the best place to go to meet guys or girls with serious intentions.
It's funny though that I met my guy at a club, and we're pretty serious. Of course he's not long-term "let's-get-married" potential (I'm too young for that), but he does have serious and good intentions towards me.
I guess he's an exception. I got lucky I didn't get a jerk. :p
I voted C but I also agree with D. I love going to cafe's and restaurants and I have gotten into various conversations with guys at some point. One of my friends actually found one of her bf's at a cafe, and they got into talking through the newspaper they were reading. And they are still together and have been for almost 2 years now. So, being said that, I myself, love coffee shops because it gives me the whole sophisticated image and its very appealing to me. School, forsure, but not in highschool. I have noticed that guys that I know right now ( I am in highschool) and the guys I know outside of my school are SO different in matuarity levels. And it shows that I'd be more confident about mature guys in university rather then in highschool. BUT that's not to say some of the highschool guys aren't mature - there are. I just havn't met thm yet . In any case, school is defintly one of the options because once you start making friends and hang out - you know more about the other person and so maybe you can take it a step farther.
So, I picked C :D

About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)
The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services. Report an instance of misconduct »

It is important at this point that you cure your oven slowly, by building a series of five increasingly larger fires, starting with a low temperature. If you begin building large fires in your oven right way, you will compromise your oven's longevity and ability to cook well, and cause damage, including cracking.
After you have installed your oven, there is still a great deal of moisture in the mortars, hearth concrete, vermiculite, and the oven chamber and vent. Each of these oven components was recently produced using an air-drying, water-based process. Simply letting the oven stand for a week does not "cure" the moisture out of them oven.
Before you start the curing process, let the complete oven sit for one week. Then, start a series of low and growing fires, using the analog temperature gauge provided in the oven door/frame. The temperature gauge reads the oven's air temperature. For a more accurate temperature reading of the oven refractory surfaces, which can be use for many types of cooking, you can use the optional Digital Infrared Thermometer, which can be purchased in the Forno Bravo Store.
Day 1. Maintain a fire temperature of 300ºF throughout the day and as long as possible into the evening.
Day 2. Repeat at 350ºF.
Important Note. While it is difficult to maintain consistent, low temperature fires, it is critical for proper curing that you do not go above these temperatures during the first two days.
Day 3. Repeat at 400ºF.
Day 4. Repeat at 450ºF.
Day 5. Repeat at 500ºF.
Close the oven door every evening to preserve dryness and heat.
Important Notes
Use solid wood fuels only. DO NOT use charcoal, pressure treated lumber, chipped wood products, sappy wood such as pine, laminated wood or any material other than dry medium or hard firewood.
Do not use products not specified for use with this oven.
DO NOT USE liquid fuel (firelighter fluid, gasoline, lantern oil, kerosene or similar liquids) to start or maintain a fire.
Never use water to lower temperature inside the oven, or to extinguish the fire.
There must be a period of time between completing the masonry work and beginning the actual firing cure. Longer is better than shorter, particularly for the actual dome cement. The cement and mortar must cure first and this process is actually improved by keeping the cement moist and not letting it dry out.
Also, using a space heater can help, but only so far. It is not an alternative to fire curing. We tested a space heater in an assembled Forno Bravo precast oven for two days, then quickly heated the oven up, (don't do this at home -- it was an experiment to see what would happen to an oven that we have here) and we found that we created a very large amount of steam from the oven, mortars and vermiculite, which went on for hours and hours.
Congratulation. Your oven is complete, and ready for Cooking.

Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas (GSSWT), headquartered in San Antonio, is aware of recent communications via email, blog posts, etc., that are critical of Girl Scouts of the USA and continue to share misinformation about the Girl Scout Movement. The inaccurate information is most prevalent during the iconic Girl Scout Cookie Program when awareness of the organization is at its highest and is focused on the Movement's alleged relationship with Planned Parenthood USA.
Get the facts about Girl Scout cookies here.
Boycotting Girl Scout cookies is bad for girls, read our response to Cookiecott 2015.
At the national and local level, the answer to this question is very simple -- Girl Scouts of the USA and Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas do not have a relationship with Planned Parenthood and have never received financial support from or contributed to the organization.
FAQS Question Finder:
GSSWT has a long and proud history of serving girls throughout the region. Girl Scouts has a reputation of being the best leadership development organization with an outstanding record of community service and programs for girls. The organization is able to accomplish this with the help of exceptional adult volunteers, alumnae, supporters and friends. It is out of respect to the nearly 30,000 members in Southwest Texas that the record is set straight.
In some areas of the country, Girl Scout troops or groups may choose to hold discussions about human sexuality and/or pregnancy prevention and may choose to collaborate with a local organization that specializes in these issues. Participation in these discussions is optional, and parental consent must be provided prior to a girl's participation. However, please consider that the Southwest Texas region has among the highest rates of teen pregnancy in the nation and for girls in some communities, it would be appropriate for them to receive pregnancy prevention education from a factual perspective in Girl Scouts.
Girl Scouts of the USA is an organization whose membership represents a cross-section of America. Girls and families hold various religious beliefs and opinions on social issues and practices. As a result, GSUSA does not have a position on specific issues such as abortion and contraception. Rather, GSUSA recognizes and supports the primacy of parents as they educate their daughters with regard to human sexuality and pregnancy prevention.
This policy is not new. Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas affirms that parents/guardians may be certain their daughters will not be exposed to information on these topics that they don't want them to have, and it is unfair to expect an organization as large and diverse as Girl Scouts to take on the role of parents and/or religious organizations.
The mission of Girl Scouting is to build girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place, and the organization will never shy from its duty or waver from its commitment to be an advocate for all girls.
Frequently Asked Questions: Social Issues
What is Girl Scouts of the USA's position regarding human sexuality, birth control, and abortion?
Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) does not take a position or develop materials on these issues. We feel our role is to help girls develop self-confidence and good decision-making skills that will help them make wise choices in all areas of their lives.
Parents or guardians make all decisions regarding program participation that may be of a sensitive nature. Consistent with that belief, GSUSA directs councils, including volunteer leaders, to get written parental permission for any locally planned program that could be considered sensitive.
Does GSUSA have a relationship with Planned Parenthood?
No, Girl Scouts of the USA does not have a relationship or partnership with Planned Parenthood.
Did GSUSA distribute a Planned Parenthood brochure at a United Nations event?
No, we did not. In 2010, GSUSA took part in the 54th Commission on the Status of Women at the United Nations. Our participation in that conference was the subject of numerous Internet stories and blogs that were factually inaccurate and troubling. Girl Scouts had no knowledge of the brochure in question and played no role in distributing it.
Did Girl Scouts of the USA honor California Congresswoman Barbara Lee?
Girl Scouts is a nonpolitical, nonpartisan organization. Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA-13) has never received an award from Girl Scouts of the USA; GSUSA included her, among other Girl Scout alumnae, in a blog post celebrating Black History Month. She was also included, alongside Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) and Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), in the Portraits of Leadership interview series, in which girls asked their Members of Congress for advice about leadership.
Did Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) send a tweet in support of Texas State Senator Wendy Davis, suggesting she be considered for Woman of the Year?
Girl Scouts has not endorsed any person or organization. This confusion stems from an autopopulated tweet linking to an article that mentioned newsmakers from 2013. The tweet simply asked folks to share their opinions about which women should be added to a year-end discussion originated by the Huffington Post.
GSUSA's Twitter bio states that a retweet does not equal an endorsement. The sharing of the article was not to endorse any of the women featured, but to highlight the source's acknowledgement of women who made a mark in 2013.
Girl Scouting aims to empower all girls to have the courage to make their voices heard and welcome respectful discourse about what qualities a woman of the year should have. GSUSA issued an apology on the Girl Scout Blog, which can be read here.
Why were Girl Scouts pictured in a photograph with State Sen. Wendy Davis in the San Antonio Express-News?
On Friday, Feb. 14, 2014 the San Antonio Express-News published a story about gubernatorial candidate and state senator Wendy Davis discussing her proposal to improve early childhood education at Leal Middle School in Harlandale Independent School District. Davis is pictured with a group of Gamma Sigma Pearls wearing their Girl Scout T-shirts in the accompanying photograph, which is an implied endorsement. Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas did not host, sponsor, endorse, nor have prior knowledge of the event. Girls attended in their capacity as students of Leal, who also happen to be Gamma Sigma Pearls. We consider the use of this photograph by the Express-News to be inappropriate in light of the controversy that is having a negative impact on innocent girls who are in the community selling cookies. We have since asked the newspaper to print a clarification of the photo's context.
Where exactly do proceeds from the Girl Scout Cookie Program go?
One hundred percent of the money that a council and its troops raise through the Girl Scout Cookie Program stays with that council and its troops. All of the revenue from cookie activities—every penny after paying the baker—stays with the Girl Scout council. Girl Scout councils offer a wide variety of recognition items, program- and store-related credits and travel experiences that girls are eligible to earn individually based on their sales. Girl Scout councils do not provide any portion of their cookie revenue to Girl Scouts of the USA.
Should people be concerned about where the money goes?
Absolutely not. Girl Scout cookie sales fund the amazing work that Girl Scouts do to improve communities nationwide—including yours. Through Girl Scouting, including the beloved Girl Scout Cookie Program, girls discover the fun and friendship that life holds, developing to their full potential and gaining values that will guide their actions along the way.
Should I buy Girl Scout Cookies?
Yes! When a Girl Scout sells you cookies, she's building a lifetime of skills and confidence. Through Girl Scouting and the Girl Scout Cookie Program, girls learn they can be and do anything they set their minds to. And why wouldn't you want to be a part of that? Learn more about the Girl Scout Cookie Program at www.girlscoutcookies.org.
What is Girl Scouts' process for reviewing materials?
Girl Scouts constantly reviews our materials based on feedback and suggestions we receive from our members, and we update our materials on a regular basis. As a result of this process, upcoming reprints of Journeys materials will not include playwright Josefina Lopez or links to the Women's Media Center or Media Matters. Councils will be notified of changes that are made in the future, and information on changes will be posted on our corporate website. We also are making changes on our corporate website to ensure appropriateness of content.
It is important to note that our materials feature more than 200 women and girls from many walks of life who have worked to make a difference in the world, and while we may not agree with the opinion of everyone featured, we believe they embody the commitment to leadership that we strive to teach our girls.
What is Girl Scouts' position on serving transgender youth?
Girl Scouts is proud to be the premiere leadership organization for girls in the country. While we do allow men to participate in our program as volunteers and staff members, the program is developed specifically for girls. GSSWT has not had cause to address the issue of accommodating transgender youth. The organization remains focused on providing a quality leadership experience for all girls in grades K-12 and believes there are other organizations better suited to provide a leadership experience for boys. Acceptance of transgender youth is handled on a case-by-case basis, with the welfare and best interests of the child and the members of the troop/group in question a top priority.
Yes. Girl Scouting supports girls from all backgrounds and beliefs. While we are a secular organization that refrains from teaching religious or spiritual beliefs or practices, we believe that the motivating force in Girl Scouting is a spiritual one, and we greatly value our longstanding partnerships with religious organizations across many faiths that share the values of the Girl Scout Promise and Law.
We encourage girls to develop connections to their own spiritual and religious beliefs by earning recognitions provided by their faith communities and by earning the new My Promise, My Faith pin, which helps a girl deepen the connection between the Girl Scout Law and her faith. GSSWT has partnered with the Archdiocese of San Antonio to create and support the earning of six more religious awards for the Catholic community that are only available in our 21-county service area.
Girl Scouts welcomes faith leaders to verify that program delivered to girls in their places of worship is consistent with their faith's teachings.
What is GSUSA's relationship with the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts?
The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) comprises 145 member organizations that promote mutual understanding and cross-cultural opportunities for girls around the world. Girl Scouts of the USA is one of the 145 member organizations.
Each member organization creates its own programs and pursues advocacy efforts based on the needs and issues affecting girls in its individual country. GSUSA does not always take the same positions or endorse the same programs as WAGGGS. GSUSA's relationship with WAGGGS is akin to the United States' relationship with the United Nations (UN). The United States may not agree with every position the UN takes, but values having a seat at the table.
Does GSUSA have a financial relationship with WAGGGS?
Every Girl Scout and Girl Guide organization is a member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts—and each Member Organization, including Girl Scouts of the USA, pays dues. WAGGGS operates in much the same way as the United Nations: Each Member Organization pays dues based on the size of its membership and the per capita income of the country in which the organization resides.
Are girl membership dues used to pay the WAGGGS quota? Membership dues from girls and from adults are not used to pay the WAGGGS quota. All dues collected from Girl Scout members are used to pay for services that directly impact the development and delivery of Girl Scouting to girls in the USA and girls who are involved in USA Girl Scouts Overseas, our program that brings Girl Scouting to American families who live and work abroad.
Are girls individual members of WAGGGS?
No, individual girls are not members of WAGGGS. Girl Scouts of the USA is a Member Organization of WAGGGS.
Do girls have to wear a WAGGGS pin?
Girls wear the WAGGGS pin to represent their connection to the worldwide sisterhood of Girl Scouting and Girl Guiding. For a girl to be in uniform, the only requirement is that she wears her Girl Scout pin.

I've got a canon 6D mainly for work with a 100mm macro lens. I also want to use it for general photography. At first I thought I'd need to fork out for another lens which would have been a bit much cost wise immediately. However my dad has an old canon 650 with a 35-105mm lens he bought in 1987ish. It hasn't been used for a while but it's been stored in the camera bag and is in good condition physically. The lens fits my my camera and works.
The only question I had was as the lens is so old, would I need to get the lens serviced or anything or am I just good to go?
