I have an antique white kitchen with white appliances, my flooring is a medium brown 12x12 tile and counter tops are dark brown granite. I do not like stainless appliances. I am thinking of putting a white subway tile backsplash to coordiate with the appliances-to make things look more intentional. what do you think? my kitchen is small and open to family room - wall colour is similar to cabinets and there is oak railings and fire place in view. the style is more traditional/country help???
Hi Tammy,
Your kitchen sounds very similar to mine. If you think the subway tile would go with the brown granite go for it - it wouldn't be my first choice especially in a traditional/country kitchen. My first thought was something like a mosaic that includes hints of the brown countertop or a staggered strips of tile that includes some brown glass tile. I've seen this done in some English magazines.

(CNN) -- From the White House to statehouses across America, from Main Street to Wall Street, there will be many commemorations marking Hispanic Heritage Month, which officially kicked off on September 15 -- but does all the hoopla matter?
Yes. All the proclamations, mariachi music and exultations, even the tacos served at these tributes are necessary -- especially if, beyond cocktails and soggy nachos, everyone takes the time to learn the stories and recognize everyday Hispanic American heroes who gave and continue to give of themselves to this nation.
The story of my father, a patriot and Korean War veteran, is worth highlighting, particularly during this month when the nation pauses to celebrate Hispanic contributions.
Two years ago he was buried, draped in his two beloved flags -- an American and a Puerto Rican flag. The fact that he went into the afterlife swathed in 51 stars and eighteen stripes spoke to the duality of my father's bicultural experience. This twin allegiance was neither exceptional nor paradoxical. Dad's double cultural devotion is at the heart of the Hispanic American experience.
When he was deployed at the age of 17, my father was a country boy from the southern coast of Puerto Rico who spoke only a few words of English. And yet he served this nation valiantly and was honorably discharged after three years of combat in Asia. Even though it was a source of immense pride (and pain, too, I'm sure), Dad rarely spoke about his time in Korea. And he didn't have to -- his body bore the evidence of the physical wounds endured, including a missing finger, blown off by a mortar attack. And while curious to hear war stories, we respected his wishes and never brought up the conflict. Implicitly, we understood to steer clear of that part of his life.
So upon his death at 76, we learned something astonishing about our dad. Though he was racially black and ethnically Puerto Rican, a Hispanic American who lived his adult life in New York City, Dad was officially listed in Army documents as white. While we were shocked at how a dark chocolate Latino would be mistaken for a Caucasian, historians looking into the exact numbers of Hispanic soldiers who served in wars aren't.

Age of Eve: Return of the Nephilim Is a New Romance Novel from BroadLit with a Paranormal Twist
Fallen angels, voodoo magic, and intense passion combine in the first paranormal romance novel from Quantum Leap co-creator D. M. Pratt. BroadLit, a company introducing a new slant on romance, is publishing today, February 26, 2013, the first novel in award-winning D. M. Pratt's new romantic thriller series Age of Eve: Return of the Nephilim. The series introduces readers to a passion of mythological proportions that will captivate the reader's body, mind and soul. At BroadLit's online romance hub TruLOVEstories.com a downloadable free chapter is available.
The first book in Ms. Pratt's paranormal series introduces the heroine. Eve Dowling, a talented writer for a successful magazine that covers New Orleans society events, is leading an exciting life filled with friends, family and work-until it is turned upside down by a fateful encounter with a stunningly handsome mystery man who ignites her most sensual fantasies. When Eve awakes naked, sexually ravaged and alone in the garden of one of New Orleans' most historic homes, she begins her search to uncover who this mystery man really is. She tracks him through the dark side of Old Algiers with the aid of one of its most famous Voodoo priestesses to an abandoned sanitarium in the heart of the swamplands surrounding New Orleans. It is there she first confronts two creatures, first described in ancient Hebrew and Christian texts as the Nephilim or "fallen sons of God," who vie to possess her body and soul and keep her from true love with her mystery man. Is Eve's battle with the Nephilim to save her mystery lover-and her own life-real or imagined? Does Eve really hold a key to saving humanity from a loveless existence? Or is it all simply a nightmare dream? And Book One in this series is only the beginning.
Nancy Cushing-Jones, BroadLit's Chief Publishing Officer, is pleased to announce this latest romance series acquisition. "I had never heard of Nephilim until I read Ms. Pratt's novel and now I hope to never meet a Nephilim in real life-meeting two of them on the printed page is enough excitement for me!"
According to Ms. Pratt, "Female empowerment has been my battle cry since I started writing as a teen, and has continued throughout my professional writing career. I wrote several books and screenplays in the early '90s and was told that a female protagonist who didn't get saved by a man would never happen in reality, much less in a movie. I actually remember being asked when a guy was going to save her. Now much has changed thanks to the huge success of female driven, strong, heroine-based stories in literature and films today. I'm thrilled by these changes because I believe women are the salvation of the planet."

"This Saturday, I'm going to have one of those hot dogs that I told you about," said my former classmate, Jan Harlan, as we were leaving a recent Oak Ridge High School 60th reunion meeting.
In grade school there were only two houses on the street between my house and Jan's.
Readers of my previous articles will understand when I shout, "Hot dog!" That's because I've often written about my fondness of hot dogs.
I called Jan the next day to ask if my wife, Carol, and I could join her.
More Tennesseans had jobs in April, according to statistics released late last month by the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
Roane County was among the state's 94 counties that saw improvements over the month.
The county's unemployment rate for April was down by 0.6 percent, reflecting a jobless rate of 6.1 overall.
That means 21,900 workers in the county's 22,320 labor force were employed during the month.
Tennova Healthcare recently welcomed Dr. Mancel Wakham to his new medical practice at Tennova Primary Care, Harriman.

Same-day appointments will be available. For more information, call 1-855-TENNOVA (836-6682).
"I am committed to offering a personalized healthcare experience to patients of all ages and with all sorts of conditions," Wakham said.
The Shabby White Owl Boutique & Gift Shop has a new home in a shared space with Rosemary's Florist, Kingston.
It's a big undertaking for Annette Leamon, who opened her shop of popular women's clothing, handbags and accessories last year.
"I just wanted to try something different in the area," said Leamon. "There are so many great vendors out there with very updated and trendy clothes. I just go to them and pick out what is cute and trendy."
Roane County Chamber of Commerce will have a job fair from 3 to 7 p.m. June 17 to recruit employees for area businesses and industries.
The event at Roane State Exposition Center will allow employers to meet job seekers face to face and have the opportunity to receive résumés and completed job applications, schedule interviews, and have applications on file from job seekers.
"Alice Sweeney and Barbara Carmack Plemons asked me today why you haven't written about 2 Chef's Deli in Kingston."
My wife, Carol, confronted me with those words after she had returned from playing cards with one of her bridge groups that includes Alice and Barbara.
"They eat there often and say the food is really good," Carol added, even though she knew I had written about 2 Chef's some time ago.

Women of Distinction is an award presented by CUNA Brokerage Services Inc.

Readers of my "Out to Lunch" articles know that I always refer to them as adventures.
"Le Noir – A Southern Belgian Bistro, With an American Touch" in Lenoir City was certainly an enjoyable adventure.
My wife, Carol, and I invited our Midtown Heights "down-the-road" neighbors, Leroy and Louise Turbyville Shipwash, to enjoy this adventure with us.
Nine more companies have committed to participating in the Roane County Chamber of Commerce's job fair on June
The event, aimed at recruiting employees for area businesses and industries, will be from 3 to 7 p.m. in the Roane State Exposition Center.
The center is at 276 Patton Lane, on the main campus of Roane State Community College between Harriman and Rockwood.

Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts can practically secure themselves a wild card spot in the 2012 NFL Playoffs by beating the Tennessee Titans this weekend. Talk about two teams going in opposite directions, back in October the Colts beat the Titans in overtime (19-13) and since then they have dropped the last three out of four.

Pole vaulter set to soar in Beijing
Published: 28 July 2008
Print this story
Email this article
Ms Boyd Many Australian athletes hope to hit new heights at the Beijing Olympics, but Alana Boyd will likely trump them all.
The UQ business management graduate is Australia's sole representative in the women's pole vault, and earned her place on the team after taking out the event at the 2008 National Athletics Championships with an A-qualifying jump of 4.45 metres.
Both her parents have tasted Olympic success already – her father Ray in 1972 and 1976 in the pole vault and her mother Denise in the sprints and relay events in 1976 and 1980.
"I used to be a hurdler and was always involved in athletics," Ms Boyd said.
"My dad was a pole vaulter and asked my siblings and I if we'd like to 'have a swing on a pole' and my brother and I gave it a go. I guess I was a natural and haven't looked back."
Coached by her father, Ms Boyd holds the Queensland Under 23 record and represented Australia at the 2007 World Championships in Osaka.
Her selection for Beijing marks the first time an Australian athlete has followed both parents into the Olympic arena.
"Making the team was very exciting and a bit of relief. It was extra special because I joined my parents as Olympians and created Australian Olympic history," she said.
"I remember writing on my report card when I was about eight that my goal was to one day represent Australia at the Olympic Games. I had no idea I would be competing in the pole vault."
While studying at UQ Ms Boyd was the recipient of a sporting scholarship that helped take the pressure off training and physiotherapy expenses, and since graduating in 2004 has honed her skills as a development officer with Athletics Queensland.
And with the biggest meet of her career on the horizon, the 24-year-old is already looking forward to future challenges.
"Right now my goal is to make the final in Beijing and then anything can happen. I am in good shape and ready to jump some big heights," she said.
"Beijing will only be the start of my career. Come London in 2012 I think I am capable of being very competitive with the top pole vaulters in the world. To win gold in London would be amazing!"

For Cavendish, There's Gold Over Those Hills
Here's the thing: If he gets there, he's blasting right past you. This is not obnoxious or arrogant or foolish. It's just the truth. It's what happens. Give him the opportunity and he's going to take what he wants. And he wants this one very, very badly.
The cycling world knows his name. Mark Cavendish. Cav. The 27-year-old cannonball from the Isle of Man, the reigning world champion, the most dominating road sprinter on earth, with an astonishing 23 stage victories in the Tour de France.
But Saturday is what he's after, like nothing he's been after before.
The scene could not be more cinematically set. A Summer Olympics in Cavendish's home country. The men's cycling road race landing on opening weekend, one of the first opportunities for gold at these Games. A final sprint that will roar through The Mall of London and end near Buckingham Palace. A finish line close enough to blow a kiss to the Queen.
The chance for a very public coronation, on his own concrete.
But first, Cavendish has to get there. The 2012 Olympic men's road race takes nine passes over the Box Hill loop, a punchy climb designed to test riders and whittle down the field. Like most sprinters, Cavendish is not a born climber. He survives mountains, rather than conquering them. Cavendish's wins tend to come on flatter days, when his team can guide him into the final kilometers, shedding away like rocket boosters, until Cav thunders to the finish.
"When we saw the course we thought, I can win that, not, I will win that, you know?" Cavendish said in a phone interview a few weeks ago. It was a rare brush of vulnerability from a man who usually shows none.
London, Cavendish realized, wasn't likely to come down to the bunch sprint, elbow-to-elbow mayhem he thrives in. "Normally, I do my sprinting at the end of a big boy sprint on a big street with 200 riders," he said. "But the selective nature of the Box Hill circuit is going to make it, I believe, a 30 to 50 man group at the finish. Normally, I wouldn't be involved in that."
So Cavendish altered his body. He shed weight—by his own estimate, about four kilos, or nine pounds. The loss is designed to get him over the climbs, but the process made him a different rider. Lighter, leaner, maybe a little less velocity at the very end of a race, but only a fraction less, discernible to nobody but him.
It all has a single, direct purpose. To get his butt over Box Hill.

An offbeat look at the city hosting the Summer Olympics.
Slender Cav has emerged as a better all-around rider. Heading into this year's Tour de France, he won the overall title at a stage race in the Netherlands, an unusual accomplishment for a sprinter. At the 2012 Tour, he didn't collect victories at his normal rate—past Tours have seen Cavendish win as many as six—but two of his three victories came in the race's final week, including a blistering romp down the Champs-Elysees last Sunday, with an assist from Team Sky colleague and yellow jersey champion Bradley Wiggins.
These are glorious days for British cycling. Wiggins is the first British winner in the Tour's 99-edition history, and on Saturday, Cavendish will be accompanied by a dreamy U.K. team that includes Wiggins, Tour runner-up Chris Froome, and veteran David Millar, a 2012 Tour stage winner who has emerged as a steady, sober voice in the sport after a doping suspension nearly unraveled his career. Cavendish is not new to the Olympics—he was part of Britain's high-flying track racing team in 2008, but failed to medal—but his profile has grown dramatically. In 2011 he was named the BBC Sports Personality of the Year. He is a dad now, the father of a baby daughter with his girlfriend, the former Page 3 bombshell, Peta Todd.
"A lot of things changed in my life," Cavendish said.
It's enough to humble a supremely confident man. Sort of. On Friday Cavendish sent out a disarming tweet. "I am nervous," it read. Cavendish knows he needs a few things on Saturday. He needs to conquer that Box Hill loop. He probably needs some help from his teammates. He needs a little luck, because every cyclist can use a little luck. But if he makes it to the final group, look out. There he is, and there he goes. It's Cavendish, and it's beautifully over.

Although most women today work and earn their own Social Security benefit, there still are quite a few women, especially those in their 50s and 60s, who have never worked outside the home. Or if they have, they either didn't work long enough to become "insured" for Social Security, or they worked just barely enough to earn a small retirement benefit on their own account. So they must rely on a husband's (or ex-husband's) Social Security record to qualify for full dependent's benefits, or partial benefits to supplement their own meager Social Security income.

Edwin Leslie was appointed to the Arizona Tourism Advisory Council by Gov. Jan Brewer (R) in 2010. On Tuesday, he stepped down from his position in protest of the governor's latest move against same-sex benefits for state employees.
Leslie, who lives with his partner and their son in Phoenix, announced his resignation in a letter to Brewer. In it, he decries the governor's recent decision to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn an earlier federal court ruling that allowed state-employed workers to keep same-sex partners on their benefits. The court's decision had found unconstitutional the part of a 2009 measure, passed by the state legislature and approved by Brewer, that prevented benefits, such as health insurance, from being shared by such couples.
The governor's decision to combat the court's ruling is "in direct conflict with your reiteration that all Americans are entitled to the same 'inalienable rights,'" Leslie wrote, referring to an Independence Day address given last week by Brewer.
"The LGBT community, of which I am a proud part, deserves all of the same rights, privileges and liberties as every American, be it in domestic partner benefits, adoption, marriage or any other rights that are so freely enjoyed by every other person in the U.S.," Leslie continued. "It is my hope that one day the state of Arizona leads the nation in extending benefits to LGBT families, allowing same sex marriage and adoption, and show that everyone is welcome in Arizona."
Leslie goes on to claim Brewer's action will end up damaging the state's tourism industry, which sees significant revenues from members of the LGBT community. He also charges that the governor has chosen to "discriminate against one part of the State's residents to appease a small fraction of the population," citing a recent poll that shows the state's residents to be largely supportive of gay marriage rights.
Brewer spokesperson Matthew Benson responded to the decision, accusing Leslie of attempting to "politicize" his resignation and claiming that the "issue isn't about gay domestic partners."
According to Benson, the move to deny benefits to same-sex couples is instead about cost control. Brewer "doesn't believe in ceding to a federal court the authority of Arizona's duly elected officials," he said.
The Arizona Republic relays some of the most recent figures about the current status of the state's recipients of same-sex benefits.
The state has 230 active state and university employees and three retirees who receive same-sex domestic medical coverage, according to figures from the state Department of Administration. Currently, they cost the state $1.8 million yearly for their claims and dependents' claims.
In comparison, Michael McFall, publisher of "Arizona Pride Guide," tells the Republic that LGBT tourism brings in about $122 million to the state annually.
Leslie's entire letter is below.edwinleslie
Since November 12, 2008
Gay marriage law enacted, weddings to begin July 1.
Since April 3, 2009
In 2012, Maine voted in favor of a ballot amendment to legalize gay marriage.
The gay marriage bill was signed into law by Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) on March 1, 2012. Opponents later gathered enough signatures to force the issue back onto the ballot in November 2012, but voters rejected the effort against gay marriage.
Since May 17, 2004
Same-sex marriage bill signed into law in May. Gay marriages will begin in August.
Since January 1, 2010
Since July 24, 2011
Bill passed in May. Law takes effect on August 1, 2013.
Since September 1, 2009
On February 13, 2012, Gov. Christine Gregoire (D) signed a law allowing same-sex marriage ceremonies to begin on June 7, 2012. The process was delayed by gay marriage opponents who gathered enough signatures to put the issue up to a state vote in November 2012. They voted to approve it on Election Day.
Since March 9, 2010
The state initially began conducting gay marriages on June 16, 2008. On November 5, 2008, however, California voters passed Proposition 8, which amended the state's constitution to declare marriage as only between a man and a woman. In 2013, the Supreme Court ruled against that law, and the state shortly thereafter began sanctioning same-sex nuptials.

Convention Circuit - Least Favorite Person Associated With Trek?

Re: Convention Circuit - Least Favorite Person Associated With Trek?
I understand that these people are human and have their good and their bad days.
However, they are also professional actors doing a job. I don't know about anyone else here, but "I'm having an off day" would not likely be accepted as an excuse for very long in my job. And I'm willing to bet that when any of these actors are on a film set, they are expected to be able to deliver a good performance regardless of what kind of day they're having.
These folks aren't showing up at conventions out of the goodness of their hearts. They are being paid rather substantial fees for their appearance, and the folks in attendance at the convention have paid to be there. How is it any different than if I paid to attend a Broadway show and one of these actors was being paid to perform in it? I doubt the producer of a Broadway show would accept "well, they're human, they're having a bad day" as an excuse.
Sorry, but I'm not willing to waive bad behavior on the part of these actors off as easily as some here. We all have personal lives and we all have problems. But if you're being paid a hefty sum of money to entertain and interact with the fans, then you'd better damn well be a professional and do just that.

This is a photo provided to the Nevada Department of Wildlife and allegedly bears being fed this last summer. NDOW said the resident will receive the first warning under a new Nevada law that makes it illegal to feed bears. The photo was provided by an Incline Village resident to the department, the department said.
- Filed Under
An Incline Village resident who was allegedly feeding bears in the area where a bear had to be euthanized will receive a written warning against further feeding of bears, the Nevada Department of Wildlife said Sunday.
The bear was likely killed because "selfish people" decided to continue feeding bears rather than keeping them wild, NDOW spokesman Chris Healy said in a statement.
It will be the first warning given to an Incline Village resident under a law passed by the last session of the Nevada Legislature, NDOW said. ...

Extremely Rare 1862 Half Eagle, PR64 Cameo PCGS1862 $5 PR64 Cameo PCGS. The 1862 proof half eagle is a coin that has a two-track rarity factor--as a proof and also as a high grade example of this date, whether a proof or a business strike. As a proof, it is an unquestioned rarity as only 35 pieces were struck. Estimates in the past have speculated that twice as many proofs are known today than have been certified. In the Eliasberg catalog (1982) Bowers stated that "only a dozen or so can be traced." Breen (1988) lowered the bar somewhat when he estimated that "fewer than 12 traceable." We believe that probably half that number, around 6-8 pieces, may actually exist today outside institutional holdings.
Business strike 1862 half eagles are also very rare, with only 4,430 pieces struck. After the suspension of specie payments two years previously, there was little need for the government to strike coins that would not circulate. As a result, very few 1862 fives survive today and only two pieces (the same coin?) have been certified in mint condition. This, of course, places even more pressure on the few proofs known. Proofs of this date were struck on February 16, and this piece, as with all proof 1862 fives, shows a distinctive "center dot" on the third pale gule of the shield. This particular piece has been off the market for several decades and represents an opportunity to acquire a coin that has largely been forgotten by modern-day numismatists. It has two pedigree identifiers that will aid researchers when this piece is offered again in the future: an alloy spot is located in the left obverse field a couple of millimeters out from Liberty's chin, and another spot is seen halfway down Liberty's lovelock. Lightly hairlined, the fields are deeply reflective and the devices display considerable mint frost that gives the coin a pronounced two-toned appearance. This is the first 1862 proof half eagle we have offered for sale at public auction. The only other proof we have handled was a part of the Trompeter Collection, and all the proof fives in that collection were sold en masse to a dealer. For the collector who has been waiting for this date to become available, this may be the only opportunity for several years to acquire this major rarity.(#88452) (Registry values: P4) (NGC ID# 28BX, PCGS# 88452)

(Release: November 10, 2010) - Audra Haddock Martenot, an adjunct faculty member at Hagerstown Community College, has teamed up with Rob Owens, an independent filmmaker and the president and owner of Eagle Rock Productions, to co-produce the independent film, "One With Life."
"One With Life," provides an intimate look at a growing, worldwide movement that emphasizes the need for people to connect with nature, with a special emphasis on the importance of engaging and encouraging children to explore the great outdoors.
"Today, the health of children is a great issue and the idea is to encourage them to get back to nature, to get away from the television and go play outside," says Martenot. "In their hearts, everybody knows that humans and nature are connected but people get busy and they forget. This film is another step to try to make people aware of the importance of nature: We can't exist without it and it can't exist without us. It's a way to try to bridge the gaps between nature and ourselves."
According to Martenot, the film details some of the significant efforts that have
taken place since the first Dialogue on Children and Nature was held at the National Conservation Training Center (NCTC) in 2006 and follows the movement up through June 10, 2010. Additional footage will be added in the coming months and the final version of the film is expected to be released in spring 2011 through the Friends of the NCTC and the U.S. Department of the Interior.
In November 2010, a short, 10-minute version of the film debuted at the American Conservation Film Festival in Shepherdstown, W.Va. The American Conservation Film Festival is held every year to promote film and art that educates and inspires people to become engaged in conservation.
"It feels good to be involved in this project – to be involved in something that's bigger than you," says Martenot. "It's a beautiful thing knowing that whatever is done, it's going to sustain, it's going to last, and it's not going to stop."
Martenot has been teaching at HCC since 1997 and teaches classes in both the art and graphic design disciplines including photography, Adobe Photoshop, and digital video. She has a BA and a MS in communications from Shippensburg University.

Iraq: Clashes in south as at least eight soldiers killed
Shiite fighters and police battled on Friday in the southern Iraqi town of Samawa, while separately roadside bombs killed at least eight Iraqi soldiers, security sources said.
Meanwhile, American forces said they had killed three gunmen in raids in western Iraq.
A Samawa police captain told AFP the fighting had broken out on Thursday when police tried to crack down on armed members of cleric Moqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army militia. Fighting was continuing, he said.
Hillal al-Hatchami, an emergency medic at the town's Muthanna Hospital, said at least one policeman and four civilians died in the fighting and 26 people injured.
Meanwhile, further north near the town of Hilla, a roadside bomb hit an Iraqi army patrol on the main route east of town on Friday and killed four troops, according to Lieutenant Haider al-Husseini. Four more members of the security forces, police commandos, died in a similar attack near the ruined Al-Askari shrine in the northern city of Samarra, a local security official told AFP.
At least four more Iraqis died in attacks in the north of the country, according to security officials.
In another development Iraq has executed an Al-Qaeda fighter who carried out one of the first and deadliest bombings in Iraq's bloody sectarian war, an official said Friday. On August 2003, senior Shiite cleric Ayatollah Mohammad Baqer al-Hakim and at least 84 more people were killed when a car bomb went off outside the Imam Ali mausoleum in Najaf, the holiest shrine in Shiite Islam.

Mark Ellis
March 20, 2009
Interviews | Bout Video: Ellis | Jordan | Askren | NCAA Championships Central
ST. LOUIS, Mo. – The Missouri wrestling team wrapped up the second night of NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in historic fashion, crowning a program-high five All-Americans and sending junior Mark Ellis (Peculiar, Mo.) to the Championship finals of the heavyweight bout. Ellis becomes the first Missouri wrestler since two-time National Champion Ben Askren to advance to the finals of the National Tournament. Askren accomplished the task between 2004 and 2007, earning the 174-pound title in 2006 and 2007.
As a team, the Tigers finished the day in seventh place with 57.5 points. No school has more wrestlers remaining in the brackets than Missouri. Ohio State continues to extend its lead and sits at No. 1 with 84.5 points, while Iowa, the 2008 National Champion, stands at second with 81 points.IowaState rounds out the top three with 71.5 points.
"This is a big step for our program," Missouri Head Coach Brian Smith said. "So many of our guys have come back and competed hard in the wrestle backs. I told the team we had to break past the three All-Americans that we've had before. We needed to get more. This year we have five. I'm very pleased."
Ellis, Missouri's first heavyweight All-American, scored a 5-3 win by decision over third seeded Jermail Portis of Kent State to advance to the Championship finals. Portis scored the first takedown, but Ellis was quick to escape in the first period, taking Portis to the mat with 27 seconds remaining in the period. Ellis chose down to start the second, while Porter started down in the third. Both grapplers earned a one point escape in their respective periods. With1:52 of riding time, an area of wrestling in which Ellis is quick to credit Head Coach Brian Smith for his guidance, the Tiger grappler had his arm raised in victory.
"I'm just so grateful that my parents and my cousins are great supporters. One of the biggest things is that my sister and her husband were able to come up from Arkansas and I'm so excited that they're here. It's close, so two of my best friends got to come down, Carson and Chase Coffman. They support me in wrestling. I'm excited that they're down here."
"I expected Mark to be in the finals," Smith said. "He's a heavyweight who wrestles like a little guy. He wears out his opponents and then finishes them off. He's exciting to watch, and I'm happy for him."
|Ohio State
|Iowa State
In addition to Ellis' All-America accolade, senior Michael Chandler (High Ridge,Mo.) advanced through the consolation bracket and will finish no lower than sixth place at 157 pounds. The same can be said for senior Raymond Jordan (New Bern,N.C.) who will compete against 11th-seeded Quentin Wright ofPennState at 174 pounds and junior Maxwell Askren (Hartland,Wis.) who will challenge Hudson Taylor of Maryland in the 197 pound bracket. The top-eight finish is a first for Chandler, who is competing in his fourth NCAA Championships and second for Jordan who took fifth at 184 pounds last season. The All-America honor is also Askren's second. The Tiger grappler finished his sophomore season in seventh at 197 pounds.
After dropping his opening round match, junior Nicholas Marable (Collierville, Tenn.) battled his way back through the consolation bracket to become one of 12 Missouri wrestlers to earn two or more All-America honors in their career. Marable will open Saturday's morning session in a fight for seventh place honors. The bout will pit the Tiger against Tyler Sherfey of Boise State.
The fifth session of NCAA wrestling will begin at9:30 a.m. (CT) with the Championship finals set to begin at 5:30 p.m. and televised live in HD on ESPN.

WCCO's summer road trip continued Thursday with Mike Binkley and Liz Collin, who are Park Rapids, Minn. The city is about three-and-a-half hours northwest of the Twin Cities.They found the Mississippi River's headwaters at Itasca State Park. Countless visitors have stood right at the beginning of the Mississippi River's 2,552-mile journey to the Gulf of Mexico. This is one of the must-see stops if you're visiting Park Rapids.
Dorset's Mayor Bobby Tufts' Term Has Come To An End
He's possibly the most adorable city leader in the state, but Mayor Bobby Tufts is now out of office. We first introduced you to the pre-school-aged mayor during last year's fishing opener.
WCCO Viewers' Choice For MN's Best Ice Cream Sundae
It's summer, which means you have about three months to eat as much ice cream as you can. You might prefer malts or cones, but we wanted to find the best ice cream sundae in Minnesota. Your votes sent me three hours northwest of the cities to the Dorset House.
WCCO 4 At The Fair: Day 9
Friday was our last 4 p.m. show at the Great Minnesota Get-Together, and we brought in Dorset's world-famous 4-year-old mayor to the 'CCO booth.
4-Year-Old Mayor Of Dorset, Minn. Wins Re-Election
In the final hours of his campaign, Dorset's incumbent mayor left nothing to chance. With cards in hand he spent all day stumping at the annual taste of Dorset.

Projected 2014 Market Share
While BIXI Files For Bankruptcy Rugged Cycles Deploys North America's Largest University Bike Share Solution!
Rugged Cycles deployed a 300 bike bike share system with seven stations in the summer of 2013! This winter the system is expected to expand to 500 bikes. I am sure that this is the largest University bike share program, in fact it is probably the largest bike share program in the State of Texas – and you know how they like everything BIG in Texas!!
Check out the website: www.maroonbikeshare.com
It maybe time for the City of Vancouver to take a look at the investment they made into the Helmet/bike share system locally built by the SandVault Group!
SandVault's equipment has been the only profitable bike share system that I know about, deployed in Miami Beach. Take a look at Vancouver's local public bike share equipment supplier: www.sandvault.com
Bixi files for bankruptcy protection
Bixi signed a "memorandum of agreement" regarding a sale in December but the buyer, whose identity was not revealed, pulled out of the deal this month, the city said.
"I really do see bicycling as the future of civic investment," she says, "not because it's the right thing to do, or a fun and healthy thing to do, even though it is, but because it's just the only thing that economically makes sense." – Elly Blue

The more locations for the stations the better the system will be for all, hitting maximum density is key with this type of system.
Public Bike Share on The Daily Show
But seriously here is a poll 100 person poll by nymag.com:
My prediction is that New York's Bike Share program will expand to far more than 10,000 bikes in the next 5 years, as the number of members, (As of June 6th over 30,000) that have already signed up show huge support!
Public Bike Share is simply just a healthy option to driving your car for those short trips, of which 62% are less than 5 miles.
Deco Bike Share in Miami Beach – Second Best Bike Share System in the United States?
Here is a great article on why Capital Bike Share is the best in the United States:
But lets look at the facts and compare the two most popular bike share solutions in the United States:
In terms of size, ridership, and financial viability—is in Washington, D.C. How
did D.C. accomplish this unlikely task?
1. Funding (Financial Viability):
Miami Beach: Paid for by Deco Bike
Washington DC: Paid for by US tax payers
2. Rides in the first two years (Ridership):
Miami Beach: 2,153,350
Washington DC: 1,851,857
3. Members (both annual and walk up):
Miami Beach: 600,000+
Washington DC: 270,000
4. Size:
Miami Beach: 100 Stations
Washington DC: 189 Stations
After the second try at a bike share solution, Washington DC has done a great job building and implementing Capital Bike Share. Deco Bike in Miami – second best bike share system in the United States?
New York City with 10,000 bikes and a sponsor of 30+ million dollars will be taking the crown away from Washington.

Difficulty updateFeb 3, 2013 Patch 0 comments
For those that want the ultimate realism there is no mercy time at all so if you will get caught in the open its your fault.
The real war mod changed name to Battle: New York
Works on crysis 2 1.1 1.2 and 1.9 versions
I am not using the sdk to create this mod because i use XP 32bit
What the mod changes
Ammunition - (changes bullet physics to as realistic as possible (mass, speed, penetration, damage).
Weapons - (Changes weapons to be more realistic magsize, firerate, accuracy). Weapons of ai do the same damage as players.(it will be more difficult)
Bodydamage - (simulated bulletproofvests and helmets) Shooting a soldier
in less armored parts will get him down faster while it will take a lot more shots to kill when shooting at the bulletproofvest.
Improved the ai made it fight more realisticaly crouch, increased vission and attack ranges, less shooting like crazy now they shoot more in controled bursts or single shots.
Changed some marine models added more parts made some heavy versions of them. Also this mod includes realistic environment destruction.
0 comments by justinas91 on May 18th, 2011
Also the damage absorbed depends on the vest itself will it be a light vest (for snipers), medium (for most cell and marine soldiers), or heavy (for cell specops and some marine soldiers that i have added).
Now for the more marines part
There will be from 1 to 3 more marines in firefights. Also there equipment will be more different.
In a squad of 5 -6 soldiers there will be 3 soldiers with scar weapons 1 machinegunner with mk60 and 2 soldiers with grendel weapons.
For those that want the ultimate realism there is no mercy time at all so if you will get caught in the open its your fault.
is their a patch that fix's the no grab ledges bug?
Sorry do not work on the mod anymore. And i keep hearing this but i didint had this bug i could grab the ledges fine. The only suggestion i could give is to use the mod on completely fresh install of the crisis. I had a lot of strange bugs and and only by reinstalling the game they dissapeared.
the reinstall didn't work is this even steam friendly?
Do not know if it works with steam havent tested
so I just reinstall the game then?
Hey it says MOD loaded, Battle New York.. So how do I play it? play Campaign? When I press mod missions nothing shows up.
Anyway, I got it to work. But I can't grab on to ledges. How to fix that?
Sorry but when I start the Mod I can't find a mission. There is nothing in the "Mod Campaign" Menue Section. How can I play a mission? I would like to play this mod.

Head Graphene Prestige MP Tennis Racquet
Item #230314
Our Price $200.00
Buy 2 Or More, Get $10 Off Each Frame
The Prestige line is all about absolute precision and the Head Graphene Prestige MP Tennis Racquet does not disappoint. The MP is the heaviest tour Prestige racquet with a closed string pattern. This ends up giving players outstanding control and extraordinary feel.
The 98 square inch head size allows for a responsive stroke with great feel but the racquet really shines with the amount of accuracy every shot can give you. If you want to go down the line, set up for it and the racquet will help with the rest.
When tested, our play testers found that we had to be able to generate our own power due to the heavy weight and be able to put spin on the ball seeing that the string pattern wasnt really friendly on the spin side.
This is a racquet made for those advanced players who have an aggressive game and can handle a hefty amount of weight. If these meet your criteria, there is nothing this racquet cant do for you.
|Head Size
|98 sq. in. / 632 sq. cm.
|Power Level
|Racquet Length
|27.00 in. / 68.58 cm.
|String Pattern
|String Tension

How can a country like Greece, which provides less than two percent of the economic output of the entire eurozone, propel the European Union into months of marathon negotiations?
Will Greece be forced to quit the Eurozone? Will the country ever be able to repay its debt? And what does this all mean for the European Union?
"Grexit" and "Brexit" - two radical solutions currently threatening the European Union. The Grexit - or Greece's possible exit from the eurozone - looms large as negotiations between Athens and its donors remain at an impasse. The Brexit - the potential departure of Britain from the EU entirely - could be decided in a domestic referendum next year.
The Greek debt crisis is dragging on and time is running out. The troika of the European Commission, the IMF and the ECB are taking a tough line, but the Greek government can offer no guarantees.

Rail tickets from Oxford to St. Pancras to catch Eurostar to Paris
I was wondering how much time to allow for travel from town of Oxford to St. Pancras for a mid June Eurostar train to Paris at 11:30 am? Should I buy rail tickets two months in advance online on national rail to depart Oxford and head back to Paddington and then tube to St Pancras or just buy tickets at Oxford station when ready to leave there on the actual day of travel? Thanks for any suggestions. We've already booked Eurostar so can't change that part.
