Starbucks® Puerto Rico
We've featured this coffee from Puerto Rico ever since our first store opened in 2002, and we couldn't be prouder. Well-balanced with soft acidity and a delicate, nutty flavor, this medium roast coffee is to be savored and celebrated, much like the "island of enchantment" itself. Brought to the isle by Spanish explorers in 1736, these legendary coffee beans directly descend from trees in the groves of King Louis XIV of France. Available only in its origin country and exclusively in the US online at Starbucks Store.
Balanced, Smooth & Rich
Recipe for great coffee
- Use cold, filtered water and a clean machine.
- Grind beans just before brewing:
- Course for coffee press
- Medium for automatic drip
- Measure 2 tbsp (10 g) ground coffee for every 6 fl oz (180 ml) water.
To help preserve that fresh flavor, keep this bag sealed tight in a cabinet (not in the refrigerator) and brew within a week of opening.
Each coffee requires slightly different amounts of time and temperature during the roasting process to create a cup at its peak of aroma, acidity, body and flavor. We classify our coffees in three roast profiles so you can easily find your desired flavor and intensity.
- Blonde: Blonde-roasted coffees have a shorter roast time, lighter body and mellow flavors.
- Medium: Medium-roasted coffees are balanced with smooth and rich flavors.
- Dark: Dark-roasted coffees feature a fuller body and robust, bold flavors.

Comments about Starbucks® Puerto Rico:
The smell of the coffee being ground is sweeter than your typical roast. The flavor reflects this sweetness as well. It's different for a Carribean island blend.

We brought home a bag from Puerto Rico and were delighted with it! So glad to find it is available online
Comments about Starbucks® Puerto Rico:
It tastes good and unique strong, but smooth.
Comments about Starbucks® Puerto Rico:
If you like the medium roasts, this coffee will appeal to you. Since I prefer the darker bold coffees, this gets knocked out of the running for my favorites. I would recommend this to friends who like the milder roasts.

Comments about Starbucks® Puerto Rico:
I lived in Puerto Rico, so I had to give this one a try. The iconic image on the package is quite beautiful. The flavor did not disappoint either! It really has the island flavor, what one would expect from a visit at a friend's home. Robust, yet smooth; no bitter aftertaste; pleasant end note. The aroma takes me home! I ordered extras to give to friends!
Comments about Starbucks® Puerto Rico:
The coffees I purchased are gifts for my husband s family who lived in Puerto Rico for awhile. we were there this past summer and a Starbucks employee gave us a bag of this coffee through his markout. The coffee was quite good and I expect these bags will be as well.

text: NYX Menage a Trois HD Grinding Blush ($16.50 for 0.25 oz.) is one of eight shades of blush from NYX's HD Studio line. According to NYX, by grinding a blush powder each use, you'll avoid "oil trappings on powders, contamination, and cracking." The blush formula itself is supposed to reflect light from the skin while giving pores a smaller and smoother look. Menage a Trois is a soft tangerine-peach with spun gold shimmer-sheen. It's really a gorgeous shade and one that will work exceptionally well on warmer skin tones.

National Sheep Industry Improvement Center Announces Requests for Proposals
Release No.: 127-13
Sam Jones-Ellard, (202) 660-2268
WASHINGTON, July 31, 2013 The National Sheep Industry Improvement Center Board of Directors announced that it is accepting proposals designed to improve the U.S. sheep and goat industries. Applications will be accepted through September 30, 2013.
The Center was established as part of the 2008 Farm Bill. Currently, the Center has budgeted up to $300,000 for grants that will support projects to strengthen and enhance the production and marketing of sheep and goat products in the United States through infrastructure development, business development, production, resource development, and market and environmental research.
Financial assistance provided by the Center must accomplish one or more of the following objectives:
Strengthen and improve long-term sustainability of the goat and/or lamb and wool industry's infrastructure.
Provide leadership training and education to producers and packers in the sheep and goat industries.
Improve the infrastructure of the industry through assistance to address sustainable production and marketing of sheep and goat milk, meat, fiber and through related services such as grazing for fire management and pasture improvements.
Promote lamb and meat goat marketing through an organized method that measures tangible results.
Enhance the sheep and goat industry by coordinating information exchange and encouraging cooperation within the international industry community.
The nine-member board is comprised of seven voting and two non-voting members. Voting members include four domestic producers of sheep or goats; two members with expertise in finance and management; and one member with expertise in lamb, wool, goat, or goat product marketing. Non-voting members include USDAs Under Secretary for Marketing and Regulatory Programs and Under Secretary for Research, Education, and Economics. The board will review each proposal, recommend funding, and submit proposals to USDAs Agricultural Marketing Service for approval.

Of course he is. There is no bigger face in the sport right now for TRT than ViTRTor
There are many paths to freedom, not all are peaceful
BREAKING: Nevada State Athletic Commission Votes Unanimously to Ban Testosterone Replacement Therapy
Wow, indeed. And the unanimous vote sends a strong message to other athletic commissions. I don't think this major change in policy is because of the change in leadership (Keith Kizer) but rather the growing sentiment that MMA has a PED problem. After all the PED noise generated by MMA media, consider the timing of the ESPN Outside The Lines article and this announcement today. Mainstream media started to take notice. There were some in the MMA media who kept beating the drum, saying that's what it would take to more exposure to initiate a change. I guess that day is today. Just when my interest in MMA was waning, the sport takes a big step forward.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission on Thursday set a new course for the controversy over therapeutic use exemptions for testosterone replacement therapy for mixed martial artists.
The NSAC voted unanimously to ban applications for TUEs for testosterone replacement therapy, effective immediately.
Any athlete that applies for a license to fight, whether boxing, kickboxing, or mixed martial arts, will now be unable to even apply for an exemption. If said athlete has a TUE from any other state, the commission will not recognize it.
...I'd guess it's a good thing they moved Wandi/sonnen to Brazil, or chael would be up shits creek.
Interesting how so many people assume Vitor abuses, while sonnen actually came out and inadvertently admitted it in the CSAC appeal hearing. But he gets a pass, because idiots think plagiarizing old SuperStar Billy Graham vids = funny.
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.

NSA chief: Stop reporters 'selling' spy documents
The head of the embattled National Security Agency, Gen. Keith Alexander, is accusing journalists of "selling" his agency's documents and is calling for an end to the steady stream of public disclosures of secrets snatched by former contractor Edward Snowden.
"I think it's wrong that that newspaper reporters have all these documents, the 50,000—whatever they have and are selling them and giving them out as if these—you know it just doesn't make sense," Alexander said in an interview with the Defense Department's "Armed With Science" blog.
"We ought to come up with a way of stopping it. I don't know how to do that. That's more of the courts and the policymakers but, from my perspective, it's wrong to allow this to go on," the NSA director declared.
Alexander did not elaborate on what he meant by reporters "selling" documents or what options he might consider for halting the disclosures. An NSA spokeswoman declined to expand on the general's comments.
The NSA director's frustration with the flurry of leaks appears to be building. The interview was posted Thursday, the same day the Guardian reported that the U.S. monitored calls of 35 world leaders after obtaining their phone numbers from other U.S. government officials.
On Wednesday, the White House reacted to reports of NSA monitoring of German Chancellor Angela Merkel by announcing that President Barack Obama had pledged to Merkel that the U.S. was not examining her communications and would not do in the future. White House spokespeople would not address reports of past monitoring of Merkel.

Prep roundup

One of the highlights of the June 4 meeting was board members' agreement to pursue a switch to paperless agendas, which has the possibility of saving thousands of dollars in paper and printing costs, not to mention the time spent preparing information notebooks for each meeting.
The Jones County Board of Education has been paperless for several years. Each BOE member has a computer to use at meetings, and a large screen on the wall displays the agenda for audience members.
One of the important benefits of a paperless system is the ease for updating documents or making corrections. Either may be done with a keystroke rather than having to make new copies and constantly replacing pages in the notebooks.
Asphalt Zipper
The first work session was about the purchase of a piece of equipment called an Asphalt Zipper to use in repairing roads. The equipment is used for full depth reclamation of a road, and public works director John Lowe said it could be used to repair a road at a fraction of the cost of removing asphalt and repaving roads.

Shlemenko baffled by UFC matchmaking, calls it an incomprehensible situation
"Look at the UFC matchmaking for me it's very incomprehensible situation." Shlemenko told MMABoxing.ru. "Look at guys who get title shots. They give title shots anyone they want. In Bellator the situation is more fair. If you are one of the fighters in Grand Prix that means you have a chance to get a champion. In the UFC a guy who win many fights can be behind a guy who prefer talking. Chael Sonnen is a great example of that. So I think Bellator is more fair organization in this situation."
The champ is scheduled to face former UFC light-heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz at the Bellator 120 PPV next month. It is a surprising match-up considering the size and weight disparity between them.
The discussion regarding this bout began when Shlemenko took to social media and posted a video where he respectfully called out Tito Ortiz for a match-up on the PPV. The following evening, both were present at Bellator 115 and had verbally agreed to meet at the PPV. It was finalized less than a week later.
When asked why he is so confident ahead of the match-up, Shlemenko stated that he has no problem facing bigger fighters as he holds an advantage in quickness.
"I always want to fight against guys who heavier than I am. I like to spar with heavier guys because I can use my advantage - speed. But it's going to be the first time when I will fight against a light heavyweight fighter in my career. My manager Alexei Zhernakov said to me that Tito Ortiz wants to fight but he can't find opponent. So I decided to offer myself. And we made it and I'm glad about that. I know that TIto wants to fight because his last fight was a long time ago. And I know he wants to do great comeback. I guess he thinks it's gonna be easy fight because he has weight advantage."

On Sunday, February 10, four of Harwood's Nordic skiers traveled to Craftsbury to contend for qualifying positions on the Vermont J2 (14- and 15-year-olds) New England Team and the Eastern High School New England Team (14- to 18-year-olds). Over 100 girls and 125 boys contended for the top 20 positions.
Harwood sophomore Nathanael Kuzio qualified in both categories. Kuzio placed second overall among J2 boys and ninth overall among boys of all ages to qualify for both the J2 New England Team and the Eastern HS Championships.
Kuzio's younger teammate, freshman Phillip Hekeler, also place in the top 20 among J2s. Both boys will represent Vermont at the New England J2 Festival in Holderness, New Hampshire, in mid-March.
Harwood junior Grace Butler placed 16th among girls ages 14 to 18. Butler will join Nathanael Kuzio as they will represent Vermont at the Eastern HS Championships in Presque Isle, Maine, in late March.
Harwood junior India Harvey fought hard in the field of experienced skiers and finished an impressive 32nd in the 102-skier field.
"It was an impressive day for our skiers," according to Harwood wax tech Kurt Hekeler. "I was blown away with the level of competition and the waxing and technical support provided by athletes representing ski academies. Yet our little Highlander group of skiers, skiing on basic wax and simple equipment, were able to keep pace with the private school skiers that had endless wax boxes and quivers of skis."
Harwood hosts its last regular season race on Thursday, February 14, at 4 p.m.

Stephen Colbert Announces Charity Donations
By editor
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert launched his own political superPAC last year, and the gag raised a lot of money. He had some three-quarters of a million dollars left. Last night, Colbert announced that leftover cash will go to charities, including Habitat for Humanity, the Yellow Ribbon Fund for injured vets and Hurricane Sandy Relief. Colbert jokes that his board denied a request to give it to UNICEF, because, well, that's the name of his yacht. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

Nothing says you care for a child than spending quality time with that child. Spending time with your foster child and focusing on him is important for his mental health. Including your foster child in family activities is essential for the well-being of your household. These might include going to the movies, park or church as a family. If your foster child is interested in joining a local sports team, like a recreational or school baseball team, than encourage the child to try out, and attend his games. Learn what hobbies your foster child enjoys, and join in with him. Invite your foster child to help you make dinner, and eat as a family together. Above all, be excited and enthusiastic about your foster child and what his interests are.

Nick Diaz ready to fight GSP tomorrow if asked
Nick Diaz always seems to start out uncomfortable around strangers, as well as the media. But his usual m.o. in an interview is to start talking about a subject, whether it be fighting, nutrition, training, growing up, and well, then it's this wild stream of consciousness that it appears he, and nobody else, knows where it's going to end up. But he never really opened up or said anything past the obvious, such as if he wasn't suspended and they asked him to fight Georges St-Pierre tomorrow, he'd be up for it.
He brought up, when somewhat led in that direction, that he'd make a better opponent for Anderson Silva than Stephan Bonnar. Given that Silva was only willing to fight at light heavyweight because of the short notice aspect, and Diaz is a natural welterweight, and Diaz is under suspension until February, it's all a moot point to begin with. It's not as if UFC had a choice for Silva's opponent between Bonnar and Diaz and then chose Bonnar.
"They said in what world does it make sense," in referring to Dana White's reaction when Diaz's camp tried to push the idea of a Silva vs. Nick Diaz fight at one point. "Me or Stephan Bonnar, it would have been a big laughing matter or a joke, but that's what's happening now. I think if I was Anderson Silva and I'm on my way out of this and I'm 37, I'm looking to do a few more fights like that, I want to fulfill my legacy and I'm not going to be able to do it with Stephan Bonnar.""It gets pretty confusing," he said. "I've learned from my mistakes in the past, why I thought I've lost fights before. I've come back, not so much made improvements in my fighting style, but made improvements in what I have to do to win. Sometimes, I do the opposite of what I did last time and I still come up short. It's hard. It's not like they're telling you what you need to do to win the fight other than finish the fight."
Nick Diaz ready to fight GSP tomorrow if asked - MMA Fighting"Well, I think if somebody can use it to help them medicinally, it's going to be performance enhancing regardless," he said.
But he did note it's not exactly in the league with steroids.
"Your random guy trying this marijuana, to go smoke it and then go fight, I don't think it's a good idea."

Tuesday, April 30, 2013
Ashley Ridge put up a good fight but in the end Beaufort had too much depth for the Swamp Foxes as well as all the other teams at the 2013 Region 8-AAAA boys' track and field championship meet.
Beaufort tallied 140.6 points at Summerville High School Thursday to claim the region title. Ashley Ridge wasn't that far behind, placing second with 115.6 points. Trailing were Fort Dorchester (96), Summerville (91.2), Colleton County (41) and Bluffton (39.6).
Several Dorchester Two athletes did win events to claim individual region championships and several more placed in the Top 4 to also advance to the Class AAAA state-qualifying meet to be held May 4 at Spring Valley High School.
"The important thing this time of year is advancing athletes in as many events as you can," Summerville coach Joe Call said. "If all the boys we are sending to the state qualifier place in the Top 8 to advance then we could have a strong showing at the state meet."
With Sean White leading the way, Ashley Ridge was particularly strong in the field events.
White won the Long Jump with a 21-03.75 mark. He also placed second in the High Jump with a 6-00.00 mark that was just behind teammate Geraldo Johnson's 6-02.00 region championship mark and placed second in the Triple Jump with a 42-09.75 mark.
Shamon Thomas won the Shot Put with a 46-11.00 mark and Malik Graham placed second in the Discus.
Jackson Ellenburg led the Swamp Foxes in the track events, wining the 3200 with a 10:05.95 time and placing third in the 1600 with a 4:40.00 time.
Devon Duncan (second in the 800) and Dashaun Santiago (second in the 400) will also advance to the state-qualifying meet.
Kenny Fenton-Griffith was a standout for the Patriots. He won the 100 with a 10.89 time and the 200 with a 21.90 time. Teammate Stephen Gillette won the 1600 with a 4:38.25 time.
Other Fort Dorchester athletes advancing to the state-qualifying meet include Timothy Smith (third in the 100), Jerod Lacy (third in the 800), Jesse Torterella (fourth in the 3200), Joseph Hutchinson (second in the Pole Vault), Robert Magwood (fourth in the Shot Put), Miles White (third in the Discus) and Josh Hamillton (fourth in the Discus).
Davon Anderson placed in multiple events for Summerville. The junior won the 110 Hurdles with a 14.20 time, placed second in the 100 with an 11.08 time and placed third in the 200 with a 22.47 time.
Summerville's Andrew Scholz won the Pole Vault with a 12-06.00 mark while Loyless Clark won the Discus with a 161-10 mark.
Other Green Wave athletes advancing to the state qualifier include Braylon Wilkerson (second in the 400), William Luck (third in the High Jump), Kendall Parker (fourth in the Long Jump) and Zack Bailey (third in the Shot Put).
In the relay events: Summerville won the 4x100 while Fort Dorchester placed third; Fort Dorchester won the 4x800 while Ashley Ridge placed second; and Ashley Ridge placed second in the 4x100 while Fort Dorchester placed fourth.
The Green Wave 4x100 region-championship team is comprised of Daniel Smith, Jerod Tucker, Jacerie Ponder, Darin Smalls, Anderson and Wilkerson.
The Patriot 4x800 region-championship team is comprised of Alexander Armstrong, Mustapha Elgazar, Michael Gray, Jhaimin Mackey, Gillette and Lacy.

Opera Mini for iPhone -- SPE at Mobile World Congress 2010
We had the opportunity at Mobile World Congress to sit down with Opera co-founder Jon S. von Tetzchner Jon S. von Tetzchner and talk Opera Mini browser for iPhone. Now the good news: We've seen the Opera Mini browser on the iPhone, and it is wonderful. The bad news: While we can talk about it till the cows come home, we weren't allowed to take video or even a still picture of it. Them's the breaks.
Assuming Apple allows it in the App Store -- and Opera is pretty confident that it will be -- what iPhone owners would get is for all intents and purposes the same Opera experience we know from Windows Mobile and Nokia phones.
The iPhone's lack of multitasking -- erm, one-app -at-a-time feature -- also isn't a problem. You can duck out of Opera Mobile and then hop right back in without losing where you were browsing or the app having to completely reload itself.
All in all, it looked and felt like a really good browsing experience, and is a choice that iPhone owners should have. So write your congressman. Write your senator. And cross your fingers that the App Store gods give Opera Mini their blessing.

Opera Mini for iPhone -- SPE at Mobile World Congress 2010
With all due honesty it's not the surfing that sends the data usage sky high on the iPhone , it's more the streaming/google maps/gps/radio apps . Secondly while I was a huge fan of opera as a blackberry user , safari is hands down the best mobile browser . Hard to get excited about number two being released when you have number 1 on your side, don't get me wrong I will download it BUT unless it offers flash ( which it won't ) or ability to download file to the iPhone ( doubtful) I don't really see it being a threat to safari at all , however this is capitalism and competation equals inovation so let's hope we see opera on the iPhone and other browsers as well .
I can understand using opera on winmo, because pocket IE is (or at leats was when i last used it) dire.
If apple approves this (which i cant see happening under their duplicated functionality rules) they will have an uphill battle to compete with what is agreeably the best mobile browser out there. Mobile Safari.
@cardfan lol
@KB it does, technically. But, there are at least dozen alternative browsers in App Store (Check out iDroid Mini, it's awesome).
"Duplicated functionality" is just an excuse Apple uses when it decides not to let someone on their turf. There are audio players, browsers and mail clients in App Store.
Apple just requires any browser to be just an alternative shell for their WebKit engine. That's why Opera probably won't make it to app store.
Yes it would cut out since third party app can't run in the background like apple apps. I know this should be approved but I doubt it. If apple let's this in then that opens the door for Mozilla, Microsoft, and Google.
They might get sued or the EU might get in a tizzy, but the iPhone is not Microsoft and Windows yet with 90% market share.
If I wanted Opera, I wouldve chosen a Windows Mobile handset, Blackberry, or any other inferior device on the market. I chose an iPhone, so I'll go with what is undoubtedly the best mobile browser out there, accompanied with STILL the best hardware and user interface IMO.
All the pissers and moaners screaming "my phone, my choice" need to direct their attention to the nice warm glass of shut the hell up, located directly in front of them....
IMO you haven't even touched Opera on the iphone/ipod so you need to shut your mouth. Opera Mini/Mobile has many features I wish Safari had. I don't see having more options as a bad thing.
What if when you buy a car they would do the same thing, you can't tint you windows, can't change you sound system and so on.. or anything else that we buy. I could see if they where renting the stuff out but how can a company hold so much power on what we can put on our phone once it's ours? I which company would stop selling their stuff on Itunes and start selling their stuff on other websites. I should have never let go my HTC HD, I made the biggest mistake leaving that go because I wanted the Ipod on my phone. Apple makes really good product but we are individuals and we should all be able to personalise our phone and tweak it to our liking. My old HTC HD was nothing like it was sold to me, it was a great maching but I keep buying the newest phone on the market every year and this year I f_cked up.
El, that may very well be the worst analogy i've ever read.
You own your phone, you can do whatever you want to do with it, but YOU also agreed to Apple's/AT&T TOS, they're not obligated to provide services outside of what they explicitly state that they'll offer... Nothing's holding you back from Jailbreaking your phone, dipping it in hot wax, or whatever else you decide to do with it, but do so with the notion that you're breaking the agreement that YOU AGREED TO.
AT&T didn't force anyone into purchasing iPhone's and signing contracts, nor did Apple force anyone to agree to iTunes TOS, if you check the little box yes then, DON'T COME HERE TO COMPLAIN!
Opera Mini might get approved because it's not really a web browser, it's a proxy browser. It's not doing any code interpretation, which is what's banned by the App Store.
Basically, when you send a request via Opera Mini, the page you're requesting is actually fetched by Opera's servers, crunched down with their special compression format, and then sent in that format to your "browser" which is essentially just showing you an interactive picture. If many people request the same page, it's probably very fast at sending it back because it's already crunched on their end.
However, it does mean they'll break SSL if you're trying to connect to a banking site, for example, so while I might use this if I'm roaming and want to save on data, I wouldn't use it to log into financial info or something else I really care about from a security stand point.
In other words, it's so different from Mobile Safari (which is renders HTML, CSS, and JavaScript locally) that it might have a shot of getting in.
FireFox is whole other kettle of fish, as it's a real browser and an interpreter, which brings with it not only competition, but security exploits all its own -- and Apple hates not controlling what they consider to be infrastructure-level code.
I don't even want to imagine the chaos Opera mini is going to cause in the iPhone webapp space. Is an Opera optimized app iPhone ready or not? (Well, not since you don't get the iPhone with Opera on it). If they accept Opera then they should accept Firefox as well. Then we get into the web desktop crap CSS. Try using CSS3 on desktop, you have to write every property multiple times, once with webkit- once with moz- and so on.
And then the obvious one: why the hell would you use a browser that is multiple times slower and has a much different support for CSS3. And then why the hell would you build a webapp for that?
Sounds good! Would be nice to have an alternative to Safari...
Would be interesting to try out, I wonder though why other phones cant provide that fast of an experience with Opera?
I think that Opera is way better than Safari itself .... if not taking speed in Hesab

Jason High returns to the UFC, fights Ildemar Alcantara at UFC on Fuel 10 - Bloody Elbow
Strikeforce and Dream veteran Jason High is in the UFC once again after a three-year absence. The welterweight has been scheduled for a June 8th meeting with Ildemar Alcantara, who is dropping from 205 lbs to 170 lbs for this one. News of this fight was first reported by Tatame magazine.
High (16-3) had only one fight in the UFC, a decision loss to Charlie Brenneman at UFC Fight Night 21 in March 2010. That gave him his 2nd straight loss -- he was knocked out by Marius Zaromskis in Dream -- and an immediate release. He's since won his last 7, including over Hayato Sakurai, Jordan Mein, and Quinn Mulhern. High's last three fights have all taken place under the Strikeforce banner, with his final fight a 26 second submission win over Nate Moore.
Alcantara (18-5) was the #5 ranked middleweight on the 2012 Bloody Elbow Scouting Report. He subbed in for the injured Roger Hollett to face Wagner Prado in a light-heavyweight fight at UFC on FX 7. Alcantara pulled off a kneebar submission win in the 2nd round to send Prado out of the UFC. Now Ildemar, who is the brother of current UFC bantamweight Yuri Alcantara, is making the very rare multi-weight class change from LHW directly to WW.
UFC on Fuel 10 doubles as the TUF Brazil 2 Finale in Fortaleza, Brazil. Coaches Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Fabricio Werdum are expected to headline the event.

Penn State Altoona Box D'Youville Box
HAMBURG, NY – Hilbert College dropped two non-conference matches to Penn State Altoona and D'Youville College in a volleyball tri-match the Hawks hosted on February 3. D'Youville beat Altoona in the middle match to go 2-0 and improve to 7-1. Hilbert (2-5) completed the day with 1 more kill and 6 more assists than their opponents, but the Hawks gave up 27 points in service errors.
Adam Weaver was credited with 36 kills and 27 digs while Ryan Ratajczak led with 29 digs and David Mellerski added 64 assists in Hilbert's 7-set day.
Penn State Altoona jumped on Hilbert early and maintained their pace in the 25-20,25-16,21-25,25-20 road win. Weaver (26) and Fred Sickau (10) reached for double-digit kills for Hilbert. Mellerski passed for 40 set assists and three Hawks reached for 10 or more digs. Ratajczak lead with 17, Weaver followed right behind with 16 and Korey Schwab added 10. Altoona's Josh Settle (3 solo blocks) earned 12 kills many of the passes coming from Branden McGarvey (33 assists).
D'Youville started slowly but took control and rolled to a 25-22,25-19,25-21 victory over Altoona (2-7).
In the night cap game, the Spartans continued their pace and grabbed the first two sets (25-18, 25-14) before Hilbert gave them a battle. Scott Ross {in photo} stepped back on the floor in the third set and created life for the Hawks. D'Youville out-lasted Hilbert 30-28 in the final set. Ross finished with .375 hitting percentage (5 kills), a service ace and one block. Sickau chipped in 8 kills while Weaver had 10 kills. Ratajczak got to 12 digs and Mellerski's 24 assists ran the offense. D'Youville finished with a .245 hitting match and a very balanced attack as six Spartans had two or more kills and no one reaching for more than 9.
The Hawks (2-5) will use this next week to prepare for their United Volleyball Conference cross-over weekend matches which will be played at Medaille College February 9th and 10th. Hilbert faced NYU at 9 am and then must wait until 3 pm to square off against Bard College. Then, on Sunday, the Hawks will play Vassar at 1pm to complete the weekend.

TWIN 22-YEAR-OLDS Albade and Obadiah Taylor were working on their stalled car on a busy Oakland street when they were fatally shot in February 2000. Their mother, Lorrain Taylor '86, MHR '88, first heard the news from her youngest son, Greg, who called her at home."He told me to stop what I was doing and pray for strength," says Taylor. A newscast, he said, was reporting the murder of two young men with the same birthday; one had a small tattoo on his left shoulder: "Obadiah.""I never let my boys wear baggy pants or piercings," says Taylor, who grew up in a Pentecostal church where everything from nail polish to make-up was a sin. "But Obadiah did have that tattoo, so there was no doubt that the victims on the news were my boys."Almost a decade later, their murders remain unsolved, yet Taylor has turned the tragedy into an opportunity to reach out to the families of homicide victims. She uses her experience not only to help others get their lives back on track after such a devastating loss but also to campaign against violence.From her cramped Hayward living room, Taylor runs 1000 Mothers to Prevent Violence, an all-volunteer nonprofit organization that offers understanding and a glimmer of hope to families directly affected by violence. Taylor has reached out to hundreds of families in crisis, sometimes bringing them donated groceries, other times letting them know about resources she wishes she'd known about after her sons' deaths. Above all, what she provides is emotional support—with a hug, a smile, and sometimes a prayer."I saw this gap in the community where I knew I could make a difference," says Taylor, a high-spirited gospel singer and community activist. "Mothers (affected by violence) are a faceless issue."Taylor's organization also sponsors COPE (circle of prayer and empowerment) support groups and connects families with legal aid, professional counseling, financial advice, and moral support. Taylor also visits Bay Area prisons to encourage inmates to change their ways, speaks at public rallies against violence, and has taken an anti-violence stand through song on her gospel CD, Gumbo For My Soul.For many survivors of violence, however, the grief is so debilitating that it becomes difficult to even get out of bed. They often have to be reminded to do the simple life-sustaining things such as sleeping and drinking water, says Cristina Barron, victim advocate at the Carole Sund/Carrington Foundation, which awarded Taylor with its namesake award. "The event eclipses everything else that goes on in their world," she says.
Pamela Green, a minister in Oakland, understands that all too well—her son Antoine LaVelle Nelson was murdered several years ago. "When you lose a son or daughter you are in limbo," she says. "It has a residual effect…It can make you, break you or take you—literally it can take your life. Surviving depends on the support you have."Green found that support in Taylor, who visited Green several times, often bringing her food and understanding."Lorrain is a beautiful person inside and out," says Green. "Her heart really goes out to her work and to the people with whom she has contact to be sure we get the things we need in terms of support, emotional and financial."Green is now studying criminal justice so she can help families in her situation navigate the potentially intimidating legal process. She still attends the monthly COPE meetings."It helps me tremendously to hear other family members' ordeals and to make me realize that I'm not alone," says Green.It took Taylor awhile to understand that after her sons' murders."After the funeral for Obadiah and Albade, the phone calls ceased, I was left alone…and when I say alone, I mean alone," Taylor says. Friends and family had always looked to her as the strong one, but "I didn't have that kind of strength," she says.Immediately following the murders, she did have enough strength to get Greg, her youngest son, out of the Bay Area and away from the violence she saw around her. Through a college networking group, she found Southern Texas University, which accepted him and 10 of his friends. Yet instead of thinking about the tragedy and coming to terms with it, Taylor opted to double her caseload as a social worker, often working late into the night. She also cancelled her cable access program, The Lorrain Taylor Show, which had dealt with social issues, including gun violence.Taylor had been silenced by her tragedy.Just a few months after her sons' deaths, however, Taylor was asked to participate in Oakland's version of the Million Mom March Rally. She was reluctant to get on stage so soon after the murders, yet a prophetic dream involving Albade persuaded her to take that step. It was on this stage that she began turning her personal tragedy into a public crusade against violence.Yet despite public appearances, a full-time work schedule, and constant contact with Greg in Texas, Taylor's grieving process hit rock bottom when an emotional breakdown forced her into the hospital Sept. 11, 2001. Her road to recovery began when she realized she couldn't escape her fears and that she needed help. A grief therapist helped her deal with the pain and a weekly Bible study taught her that the key to her recovery was being around others, especially those who are dealing with the murders of their children: "I began to find true healing through reaching out to other mothers.""I've told my story so many times, and every time I tell it, I feel pain," says Taylor, her eyes filling with tears. "Sharing my experience allows others who have been affected by violence to trust me. They know I've been there."It's that experience that allows her to help others grieve in their own ways. One mother Taylor works with wears the ashes of her son in a charm around her neck; another keeps her son's ashes in an urn and takes him out for walks. Many drink or take drugs to numb the pain; some turn to suicide.In all instances, Taylor connects them with the resources and people who can help.She has also taken her anti-violence anthem to high-profile appearances alongside Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and lower-profile get-togethers, including church meetings, community gatherings, and groups of prisoners getting ready for parole.Seeing the impact on mothers like Green, along with her faith in God, is what keeps Taylor going even as her living room becomes too cramped for day-to-day operations of her organization. Her staff is comprised of a handful of volunteers, all of whom have firsthand experience with surviving violence. Taylor has taught herself how to put up her own Web site and recently earned a certificate in nonprofit management, all with one goal in mind—to help those suffering after the tragic loss of a loved one."We don't have money," says Taylor, "but we have hands and abilities."

Things I liked:After owning Ben. Marauder in .22, AF Condor SS in .22, Gamo Cat .177, the 24 " Condor BH was a pleasant surprise. It is more accurate & more powerful.
Things I would have changed:The thumbhole stock is sharp & cramping for my hand; however, no hand is the same as another.
What others should know:My opinion is personal. But not talking about value alone. I like the fact AF air arms are user flexible, repairable, & easy to mod. Changing the caliber or all of it make it more fun for me.
Things I liked:Power and accuracy are great. On power 10, 43.2 Eunjins are exiting at 915 fps@ 200bar with a ragged hole at 25yds-30yds opening up around 1/2 inch at 40yds.
Things I would have changed:The crummy trigger shoe being plastic sucks. It really makes an otherwise great looking gun very cheap. Also, the machine work on the threaded barrel gets a big minus from me. Whoever cut the threads apparently didn't look at them to notice that the whole center section is stripped off from balling. At first I wanted to return it but I'm easy going. Also, the "flash hider" is aluminum and has a place for a set screw- but no set screw! Whoever is subcontracting this muzzle work needs a good smack!
What others should know:The trigger is not what I would call crisp. It is a little spongy, but it is a hunting gun not a target gun so it may take I little bit of getting used to. Just be prepared to feel a little creep before the hammer drops. This may get better after it breaks in.
Things I liked:Bought this blue one for my wife and I have to admit, I love its colors and looks ALOT also but I will be buying the red & black one for me...A bit loud like a 22 long rifle but not a problem, there is after market cures for its crack "barrel shrouds" We love the looks color and feel of this gun and will buy the red and black one also!!!
Things I would have changed:Offer the barrel shroud maybe?
What others should know:Beautiful color and looks, mega power I even love the loudness lol :)
There are 6 inch barrel shrouds on the internet available. I have the regular condor with the 24 inch barrel 25 caliber , and i don't mind the sound either my buddy was shooting his ruger 10/22 and my condor sounded just as loud, he kept saying DAMM!!!
Hi! i need to know if you can't send me a AIR FORCE CONDOR to Argentina and what are the cost? thk. i'm very sorry for my english Hola, necesitaria saber si podrian mandarme un AIR FORCE CONDOR a Argentina y cuáles serian los costos de envio? Gracias.

The connections of Dogwood Stable's Palace Malice have opted to run in the Grade 2 Risen Star Stakes at the Fair Grounds on Feb. 23 as they make their way on the Derby trail, rather than contesting the Grade 2 Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream Park on the same day. The bay colt will be making the second start of his sophomore campaign, having finished a strong second his last out, a 7-furlong allowance race at Gulfstream Park, over an off track. The $400,000 Risen Star Stakes will be contested at 1 1/16-mile at the Crescent City oval. Palace Malice was trained in Aiken by Legacy Stable's Brad Stauffer and Ron Stevens.
"It's close to a tossup between the Grade 2 Fountain of Youth that day at Gulfstream Park, but we can get Rosie Napravnik in New Orleans," said W. Cothran Campbell, Dogwood Stable president in a press release. "Our horse is an easy shipper, and he's been training easily for Todd Pletcher since his good 2013 debut. We are looking for ground and both races are at a mile-and-a-sixteenth. Like everyone else, we are hunting points, and New Orleans looks like the better place to get some."
Palace Malice was the first U.S. winner of 2-time Horse of the Year Curlin, is out of the stakes winning Royal Anthem mare Palace Rumor, and is conditioned by 5-time Eclipse Award winning trainer Todd Pletcher. The colt has been ridden by Javier Castellano in his three previous starts. The Risen Star will be Palace Malice's first stakes start, the second of his sophomore campaign, and the fourth of his career.
"We think we've got a good one, but we'll find that out pretty quick now," said Campbell.
Godolphin Racing, LLC's Fortify has been entered in Thursday's Group 3, $250,000 UAE 2000 Guineas at Meydan Racecourse in Dubai. The son of Grade 2 winner Distorted Humor, will be making his fifth start, breaking his maiden at first asking, and following that performance with a second place effort in the Grade 2 Three Chimneys Hopeful Stakes, third place finish in the Grade 1 Foxwoods Champagne Stakes, and he ran fourth in his final start of his two-year-old campaign the Grade 1 Grey Goose Breeders' Cup Juvenile. Fortify was broken and trained in Aiken by Tim Jones. The dark bay colt was trained in the United States by Kiaran McLaughlin, and is now being conditioned by Saeed bin Suroor. This will be Fortify's first start on a synthetic surface.
Thoroughbred Futures Racing's Nakano placed third in the 6 1/2-furlong Grade 3 Hurricane Bertie Stakes Sunday at Gulfstream Park. The 5-year-old daughter of Grade 1 winner First Samurai is conditioned by Marty Wolfson. The bay mare was broken and trained by Tim and Cary Frommer. Nakano has finished in the money in 9 of her last 10 starts, and has earned $188,252.
Godolphin Racing, LLC's Questing (GB), the 2012 Eclipse Award winning outstanding 3-year-old Filly has been retired from racing. The daughter of Hard Spun won the third jewel of the New York Racing Association's Triple Tiara, the Coaching Club American Oaks, and the Grade 1 Alabama during her sophomore campaign. She will be bred to Darley stallion Bernardini, according to the Daily Racing Form.

So, for example, if I create files in an app such as Penultimate or Notability, can I file them in Files App? Can I do the reverse, then: open a Penultimate or Notability file from Files App? Will the Files App show me all the files I have in Evernote?

Tea Time: All's Well That's Dragon Well
To have achieved the highest esteem in the world of Chinese teas, your tea had to become an Imperial favorite—the pick of the emperor—too good for anyone but royalty to drink. To become an emperor's tribute tea (gong cha) was somewhat like becoming a made mafioso: the name of this tea would go down in history and legend for generations to come, and be grown and processed with care and reverence, hoping to garner a high price from its legacy. The Imperial Tribute teas, as they were formerly known, are, now that they are permitted for plebian consumption, today referred to as the "Famous Teas". Among their finest is the green tea called Longjing, or "Dragon Well". More

CRESTVIEW — Amiira Walker, 5, laughed as she eagerly splashed after a plastic bracelet her mom, Katie Wilson, tossed in Foxwood Country Club's pool one recent afternoon.
"She loves the water," Wilson said. "We've been here three hours, and she's not ready to get out. She's been going to the pool since she was a baby."
Starting children swimming in their infancy is ideal, Crestview YMCA aquatics director Sarah Traver said.
"Getting your child in swimming lessons early on is the key," she said. "We start ours at 6 months and get them used to the water."
Swimming lessons are essential, especially in north Okaloosa County, where ponds, streams, rivers and lakes are prevalent, Traver said.
"The No. 1 thing for safety is to enroll in a swimming class," she said.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission advises homeowners with pools to install a fence at least 4 feet high to prevent drowning.
"The best thing is to have a safety gate," Traver said. "Not everybody does that, and it's not required, but it's a good safety precaution."
Fences should have no foot or handholds, the commission stated. Gates should open away from the pool and be self-closing and latching.
Bars should be no farther than 4 inches apart, according to information provided by local Cox Pools representatives.
"Always swim with a partner," Traver advises. "Never swim alone. Have a swimming buddy. That's the No. 1 thing we always tell our kids."
If another swimmer gets in trouble, don't jump in to rescue them, she said.
"Never go in to save someone," Traver said. "(Extend) something to them. No matter how well you think you can swim, a panicked person can pull you under. Throw, don't go: That's what we teach."
Crestview YMCA aquatics director Sarah Traver offers these swimming safety tips:
• Enroll children as early as 6 months old in swimming lessons
• Swim with a friend; never swim alone
• Have a responsible adult — preferably one trained in lifesaving — watch swimmers during a swimming party
• Read and follow pool or beach rules
• Never enter the water to help a swimmer in trouble; instead, throw or extend something — such as a stick, towel or oar — to the swimmer
Call 689-999, or visit 298 N. Wilson St. for information about swimming lessons at the Crestview YMCA.

'Sports Illustrated' to feature gay kiss in Super Bowl issue
"Sports Illustrated" will include a photo of a gay kiss between two San Francisco 49ers' fans in their Super Bowl Preview issue.
According to gay.net, the image was taken at Hi Tops, a gay sports bar in San Francisco's Castro District, immediately following the 49ers clinching their spot in the Super Bowl.
Owner Jesse Woodward said the photo sends a worldwide message that sports fans come "from all walks of life and we're all a big melting pot." Logan Chavarria, a Hi Tops bartender, added that this photo being embraced by Sports Illustrated is a victory for the LGBT community.
"A lot of people come in and don't even know it's a gay bar and then we find out we have a common bond," Chavarria said.

Guardians of Middle Earth does a remarkably good job translating the MOBA genre to the Xbox 360.
I'll start this off with something some might deem heretical: I prefer playing MOBA/ARTS games with a controller rather than with a keyboard and mouse.
I didn't even know this about myself until these past few days, as I delved into Monolith's Guardians of Middle Earth, the first League of Legends style game to make its way to consoles.
The game is very similar to DOTA 2 or League of Legends, and while all three have their various differences, if you've played any of them you have a pretty good idea about the others.
Guardians of Middle Earth is unique in two ways: First, it is a console game that is played with a controller. Second, it's set in a much-altered Tolkien universe where you can play as Gandalf, Sauron, and various other characters who are cycled in an out regularly a la League of Legends. You can purchase characters, skins, and so forth with in-game gold which you earn playing matches.
Unlike other MOBAs out there, the game is not free-to-play and has no microtransactions (currently.) Unlocking content can be done in two ways. Right off the bat, you can play to earn gold and level up, unlocking new abilities and purchasing new characters and skins.
There's also a Season Pass which costs the same as the game itself ($14.99 on PSN or 1200 Microsoft Points.) The Season Pass grants access to new characters and content to be released in the future. Those future characters will also be available as individual transcations, but the entire opening roster can be accessed down through in-game currency.
MOBA Lite
The game is quite similar its predecessors.
You have your base and your towers. Soldiers spawn at regular intervals and head down their three lanes. Guardians battle it out with one another, leveling up their skills as they battle.
You can capture Shrines which help replenish Guardians' life, and you can fight NPC monsters to gain experience points.
You can also level up your towers and make them more powerful, or level up your barracks to create Elite Soldiers, Mounted Soldiers, and Siege units (like massive Ents.)
Button-mapping in Guardians of Middle Earth is well implemented and intuitive.
Each button casts a different power, while the Right Trigger lands a basic attack. Left Trigger utilizes a special power with a long cooldown. As you level up between matches you unlock more slots for these special powers as well as more slots for consumables which are mapped to the d-pad. There's no in-match shop, however, so you're basically stuck with whatever items you enter any given match with until it ends.
In other words, it's a slightly more streamlined and simplified version of the MOBA genre.
For someone like me who simply has neither the time nor inclination to learn the more elaborate systems in LoL and DOTA 2 (though I am trying) this simplification is welcome. For hardcore MOBA players, it might not be. But I think it's a wise choice for a console release, and not one that I find detracts from the experience at all.
I also like the fact that you can choose between PvP, PvE co-op, and solo matches. I can play Guardians of Middle Earth with a bot team against bots while I learn the game. In other MOBAs I always feel like I'm dragging down my team, so it's nice to face the learning curve for a while at least all on my own.
