Dita Von Teese has hailed Diane Kruger as her fashion heroine as she "doesn't have a stylist".
The Burlesque entertainer counts the actress as a friend and admires her individual style.
Dita also praised British women for their dress sense and, in particular, their ability to look stylish in the cold weather.
"[Diane] is one of the only high-profile names I know who, like me, doesn't have a stylist," Dita explained to British Vogue's website.
"[I respect how British women dress in the cold] you do well in the winter and are very good at picking great coats. In LA, no one really thinks about the importance of a great coat - they can't be bothered. It's always better when people take their time with these things."
Dita continued to discuss her debut dress collection which is made up of feminine and retro inspired creations. The classic beauty explained how she firmly believes old fashioned glamour is a far more flattering look to channel than the barely there style preferred by today's youth.
"That look never worked for me," Dita admitted. "Any time I feel like being lazy, I think: 'The day I don't dress up, that's when I'll run into my ex-boyfriend - or worse, his new girlfriend.' I feel better about myself when I look my best. I always find the time to put on my powder and do my chignon."
Dita revealed how she caught out an unnamed fashion designer while she was researching her line of clothing. She was given the confidence to pursue her debut dress line after witnessing the way the anonymous designer worked.
"I saw a very famous designer, who shall remain unnamed, in a vintage boutique in LA," Dita finished. "He was there with his whole team and they were taking pictures for pieces to inspire his next collection. I just thought to myself: 'There's no reason why I couldn't do that.' Vintage stores are where I buy all my clothes - I love the thrill of the hunt."© Cover Media

- Real Cider
- Cider Apples
- Varieties
Some explanations from Farnum Hill Ciders:
The word "CIDER" means fermented apple juice, as the word "WINE" means fermented grape juice.
Quick U.S. Cider Background
Cider is another old beverage renewed in our day. It was made, stored, and consumed all over the U.S from early times. But eventually, Temperance politics and Prohibition ended legal sales. Apple growers had to replace their cider orchards with "Apple Pie orchards". Bitter, sour, weird apples that could make great cider lost all value in the States.
The Beer Mix-Up
But real cider is not brewed. There's no grain, no cooking, and no fast route to high quality. Serious cider is all apple juice, pressed from superior cider varieties. It represents the land that grew that fruit. It takes time and patience. Great beer can be made in weeks; great cider, not.
The Color Confusion
The most complex cider is tannic, like red wine. Its gold color means people tend to chill it. But serious cider from the right fruit deserves to be tasted at about 60F. Also, cider tannins offer antioxidant effects, but with far less alcohol than red wine.
How to Drink Cider
Do you have "how to drink" questions about cider? Take advice from Farnum Hill Ciders and "SERVE CIDER to GLADDEN THE MOMENT".
Some explanations from Farnum Hill Ciders:
Great ciders come from orchard-based expertise…
and apples you would never eat.
Cider apples are grown for pressing & fermentation,
not for munching. Why?
They contain radically high sugars (too sweet-tasting when fresh) or radically high acids (too sour-tasting) or, strangest of all, radically high tannins (intensely bitter and mouth-puckering). Many contain two, even all three of these unbalanced elements. Besides the fermentable basics, each variety has individual perfumes and flavors of its own, delicious in ciders but not in pies.
There are four groups of cider apple varieties:
Sweets: grown for high sugars
Sharps: grown for high acids
Bittersweets: grown for high tannins plus high sugars
Bittersharps: grown for high tannins plus high sugars
It's on bitter, sour, astringent apples, prized for fermentation only—anti-pie apples, fruit-bowl pranks—on these are great ciders based.
Cider is an expression of place
Like all crops, cider apples won't grow everywhere. Where they do grow and ripen, each fruit takes character from the local soil and climate. Each variety can yield great juice in one place and boring juice, or worse, someplace else. Or, it can yield great juices of different character in different places.
There's no end to what a grower/cidermaker can discover about what's possible in just one place. There's endless potential for an apple variety, a blending decision, a growing season, or some other home-place detail that may carry a new touch of glory from the land to the palate.
Cider makers employ the craft of blending
For blending purposes, the practical cider grower needs several varieties from each of the categories below. Why? Because no amount of skill can force every variety to crop every year. The stubborn biennials take turns in cider blends.
Cider Apple Varieties: hundreds exist, just a few are named here...
Some names: Dabinett, Yarlington Mill, Chisel Jersey, Ashton Bitter, Somerset Redstreak, Medaille D'or, Bulmer's Norman.
With extreme tannins and acids, furnish crucial acid for clean fermentation and stimulating taste, plus rich flavor as above and pleasurable 'mouth-watering' acid reaction on the palate. Names: Kingston Black, Stoke Red, Foxwhelp, Brown's Apple, Porter's Perfection.
Two further cider-apple types, respectively contribute high sugars and high acids, plus their own individual sensory hooks.
Besides offering intriguing sensory pleasures, these apples support clean, balanced fermentation.
Esopus Spitzenberg (from New York, reputedly Thos. Jefferson's favorite apple, it refused to grow in VA.). Ashmead's Kernel (17th c. origin, English) both sport stunning flavor and acid. Golden Russet: (Colonial American, commercial for all uses pre-independence through the early 20th century, known throughout for good fermentation.) Wickson: a tiny 'sharp', bred for cider in California, mighty acid and floral character.
Help to elaborate and articulate some blends, supplying crucial acid to balance the bitter varieties. Who knows how many more "Crossovers" wait to be discovered? Believe it or not, Golden Delicious ferments well, but not just any Golden Delicious. There's an old strain, small, hard, and russeted, extremely high in acids and sugars, and intensely flavorful. Elstar, a Dutch grocery variety, furnishes some acid, sugar, and nuanced flavor during blending. Ditto Ida Red, American. So does New Zealand's Gala, at least when grown in harsh northern climes.

A new study from LifeWay Research reveals that more than half (57 percent) of Americans become more interested in God when a natural disaster occurs.
About one-third (31 percent) said their interest in God doesn't increase after such catastrophes, the Nashville-based research organization found, and 12 percent were unsure. The study, which was conducted just days after a powerful EF5 tornado ravaged Moore, Okla., on May 20, also revealed that Americans were divided about how they feel toward God "when suffering occurs that appears unfair."
One-third (33 percent) of the 1,040 American adults surveyed said such suffering causes them to put more trust in God. One-quarter (25 percent) said it makes them confused about God and 16 percent said they don't think about God at all during such times. Suffering that appears unfair causes another 11 percent to wonder if God cares, seven percent doubt God's existence, five percent become angry toward God and three percent resent Him. more >>
A new report from LifeWay Research reveals that many churchgoers are not open or transparent about their faith.
The Nashville-based research organization's survey identifies being "unashamed" as one of eight attributes of discipleship that are consistent marks of maturing believers.
"There are two elements to this discipleship attribute: being unashamed of Jesus Christ around nonbelievers and showing transparency among other Christians," said Scott McConnell, director of LifeWay Research, in an article about the study. "This transparency is seen when a mature disciple is open to spiritual accountability and willing to share about challenges with other believers." more >>
When it comes to good parenting, Americans rank "loving" as a top characteristic. Being a "committed Christian," meanwhile, is a much less desired trait, according to a new poll by LifeWay Research.
The online poll, which surveyed 1,054 adult Americans on March 25, 2013 and provides 95 percent confidence that the sampling error does not exceed +3.1 percent, separated the results on the qualities needed for fathers and the qualities needed for mothers, as determined by the voters.
For mothers, 85 percent of respondents said that it was mandatory that they be "loving." "Supporting, " "protecting," "encouraging" and "understanding" made up the other top five choices, in that order. Fewer people chose "committed Christian" (26 percent) as a mandatory trait for good parenting than "religious" (35 percent). more >>
Pastor Rick Warren cancelled plans to be a part of a live webcast interview discussing the subject of grief after his son's suicide with LifeWay Research President Ed Stetzer during a major church planting conference in Orlando on Tuesday.
Warren made the cancellation announcement via Twitter: "#Exponential13 Sorry I'm unable to have my heart-to-heart with you pastors I love today but the media heard so I pulled out."
Warren, who has not made a public appearance since his son's death on April 5, was scheduled to be interviewed by Stetzer on his webshow, "The Exchange," hosted at the Exponential 2013 conference on Tuesday, The Christian Post learned from LifeWay Research Monday. more >>

While the Easter holiday traditionally has brought the biggest boost in attendance for many U.S. churches, a new survey from LifeWay Research has found that one in five Americans are unsure if they will even find themselves in a pew this year come Resurrection Sunday – and many Christians are among that number.
Easter, which reportedly leads Christmas and Mother's Day in drawing big numbers to church, is arguably the most important Christian holiday, as it marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ three days after his death by crucifixion, as described in the New Testament of the Bible.
However, LifeWay indicated that among the sample of 1,060 adult Americans surveyed who identified themselves as Christians, only 58 percent of Protestants and 57 percent of Catholics said they planned on attending Easter services. The research group found that 45 percent of nondenominational Christians said the same. more >>

UK manufacturer GKN has shown off the first examples of prototype composite rear wing spars for the Airbus A350 XWB wing-box demonstrator at its Yeovil plant.
The prototype manufacture milestone is the latest for GKN's A350 XWB work package.
Announced in September 2008 the package gives GKN responsibility for spar and fixed trailing-edge assembly development and supply.
GKN expects to start manufacturing spars at its Filton plant's new composite production facility within the next 12 months.
The company's engineering teams' composites development work is taking place in Filton, Munich and on the UK's Isle of Wight while prototype spar assembly is at Yeovil.
GKN is also responsible for the Airbus A400M military transporter wing spar. The company is applying what it has learnt from the A400M programme to its A350 spar production.

Want to learn CPR?
Call Fire District 3 headquarters at 360-892-2331 or email email@example.com to sign up for an online class.
A Battle Ground woman earned a lifesaving award from Fire District 3 for reviving her husband — a longtime CPR teacher — after his heart stopped.
Candy Yarnell saw her husband, Herschel, 64, collapse just after 10:30 p.m. March 2 in their home northeast of Battle Ground Lake. Finding no pulse and no breath, Candy called 911 and performed CPR for five minutes until firefighters arrived. When medics rushed Herschel to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center, he had some blood flow and was breathing, said Chief Steve Wrightson.
Herschel taught CPR from the mid-1980s through 2005 while serving as a volunteer firefighter with District 3. Candy, also a volunteer firefighter, took his classes, Wrightson said.
Wrightson and Fire Commissioner Buck Heidrick gave Candy the award at a July 1 board meeting.

|Junior Outside Hitter
Jeanne Czipri
The Wildcats were led offensively in the nightcap by senior outside hitter Sarah Rehn (Oceanside, Calif.) who totaled a career-high and match-high 22 kills, while adding 13 digs and a team best .264 hitting percentage in the losing effort for UNH.
Sophomore captain Toni Barnas (Cary, Ill.) also had a strong showing on offense with 12 kills and eights digs against Syracuse.

- This must be regarded as a temporary "Mac Gyver" solution, for home usage.
- Definitely not for IT staff! (no crimper? asking for one in the budget won't get you fired!)
- Before the tab breaks, consider protecting the plug.
Step 1: On Broken RJ45 Locking Tabs...
Now the RJ45 plug no longer locks properly, making the connection unreliable. You firmly push the plug into the socket, hurray you're connected again! so you forget about the plug until the next lost connection some weeks later, wasting a long time to figure out that it's this damn broken plug again. And so on.
Now it's time to act and grab your RJ45 crimp tool. Oh, you don't have one? Or you're reluctant to use it? so read on...
Step 2: Needed Stuff
- Cable tie tool (optional)
- Sharp knife
- Cutting pliers
- TWO CABLE TIES (small size)
Their exact size matters, this is discussed in the next step.
Step 3: Find the Right Size of Cable Ties
To test, insert the head into the socket as shown in the first picture below. It should snap.
Then gently pull the cable tie. You should feel some resistance.
I measured a head width of 4.3mm.
Step 5: Make its Head Thin
Quentin, from France
Com uma idéia muito simples e com um custo baixíssimo, resolveu um problema que para muitos ia custar uma nota... tendo de chamar um "técnico" para "tentar" refazer o cabo...
Já ví muitos apanhando dos RJ-45... =)
Elton Farina / Viamão / RS / Brasil
I always believed that cable ties could fix anything :)

(WBIR-Knoxville) With just 51 days until football season starts, University of Tennessee fans had the chance to test drive season ticket options at Neyland Stadium.
Meet Your Seats started in 2010 as a way for potential buyers to check out seat choices in-person.
"Doing it online, doing it over the phone is great. But there's nothing like being in Neyland Stadium," said Greg Hulen, associate athletic director for development.
Hulen said there is a variety of families and groups who attend the event, including fans who are considering changing their season tickets or adding on to their current package.
"We had some seats right next to our current ones so we may be adding two more, if not more," said Michael Scott, who already has two season tickets.
Scott and his son, Will, were among the first to talk with UT staffers at Thursday's event.
"I thought it was nice to see what was close to our seats that we already have," said Scott. "So hopefully people will be able to come out and notice that they can upgrade the seats right next to them, and not have to worry about having them on the other side of the stadium."
With over 100,000 views, prices depend on the location. For example, Section S, row 5, was listed at $370 for the season ticket price per seat, with an annual donation of $1,250 and view near the 30-yard line. Over in Section L, behind the end zone, seats on the 43rd row required a lower annual donation of $500.
"We can take a check or credit card. The donation part of the ticket price, we can actually do over twelve months. So we try to make it affordable," said Hulen.
Hulen said with a new coach and a highly-ranked recruiting class, there is a lot of excitement to see the stadium packed with fans this fall.
"We've got a great home schedule, with Auburn, Georgia, South Carolina, Vanderbilt coming in. And our home opener on Labor Day weekend against Austin P. So we think it's a great time to be a Tennessee Vol," said Hulen.
"I definitely think there's an excitement about the upcoming season. I think that, you know, we've got a tough road ahead but I think that Coach Jones has started everything off on the right foot, and looking forward to a great season," said Scott.
Single season tickets are scheduled to go on sale Monday, July 15th.

DURHAM, N.H. – Hannah Prince scored at 4:55 of the first overtime session to lift the University of Massachusetts field hockey team to Friday afternoon's 2-1 victory against 18th-ranked University of New Hampshire in the season opener for both teams at Memorial Field.
UMass carried play in the opening five minutes, but UNH created a dangerous scoring chance off a penalty corner in the 10th minute when Megan Bozek (Cortlandt Manor, N.Y.) advanced from the top of the circle and lifted a shot from seven meters over the crossbar.
The Minutewomen took a 1-0 lead at 12:59 on a direct shot off a penalty corner. Kate Heineman insterted the ball to stick-stop Allie Sabia at the top of the circle and Kim Young flicked a low shot that ricocheted off goalkeeper Carlie Tarbell (Wakefield, Mass.) inside the right post.
New Hampshire leveled the score, 1-1, at 28:52. Meg Flatley (Townsend, Mass.) charged down the right wing to the end line and fed a centering pass back to the middle of the circle, where Hannah Richard (Hopkinton, N.H.) lowered herself parallel to the field and swept a low shot past goalie Sam Carlino into the cage. The assist marked the first career point for Flatley.
The score was deadlocked at halftime with UMass holding the advantage in both shots (8-3) and corners (3-1).
UNH generated another dangerous scoring chance off a corner 13 minutes into the second half. Emma Erler (New Hampton, N.H.) inserted the ball to Kellie Joyce (South Pomfret, Vt.) at the top of the circle and she swung a pass wide left to Casey Pohlmeyer (Millersville, Md.), whose low drive was blocked in front by a UMass defender. The ball ricocheted towards the left post and Erler pushed a shot wide on the near side of the cage.
Midway through the stanza, UMass also threatened on a penalty corner. Prince inserted the ball to Alexa Sikalis, who stopped the ball for Young and she struck a low, hard shot that rolled wide of the left post.
Two minutes later at the other end of the field, Bozek's direct shot on a corner went into the cage, but the shot was ruled illegal and the score remained 1-1.
With 11:30 remaining in regulation, UMass' Young drove to the top of the circle and blasted a low shot that bounded wide of the left post. The Minutewomen were awarded another corner with four minutes on the clock. Heineman inserted the ball to the near side, where Lauren Allymohamed slid a pass across the top of the circle to Thando Zono. Zono, from the top-right side, struck a low ball towards the far post but Heineman was unable to redirect a shot on goal.
Two minutes later, UMass had three consecutive corners that culminated in Zono's direct shot that was blocked in front and cleared away by Bozek.
Following 70 minutes of regulation, UMass led 13-6 in shots and 10-5 in corners.
The Minutewomen scored on the only shot of sudden-victory overtime when Prince drove deep on the left side and flicked a shot into the cage to end the game at 74:55.
Tarbell finished with four saves, including three in the first half. Carlino was not credited with a save in earning the victory.
New Hampshire returns to action Aug. 26 at home against 15th-ranked Ohio State University. Game time at Memorial Field is 2 p.m. OSU plays UMass at Memorial Field on Aug. 25 (2 p.m.).

Thirty communities in western Massachusetts have hunger rates that are six times higher than the statewide average.
Food drives organized by community groups, schools, and local businesses help fill The Food Bank's warehouse and enable us to dedicate more resources towards our mission.
Many people are interested in conducting canned food drives because of the hands-on aspect of physically bringing non-perishable food items to The Food Bank. While we greatly appreciate these types of donations, there are other ways to donate that have more of an impact. Every canned food drive costs The Food Bank in staff time to sort and redistribute the food that is donated. An easy solution to this is to conduct a virtual food drive.
Virtual food drives are online fund-raising campaigns that still have the exciting hands-on feel of a canned food drive. With the point and click of a mouse,you can choose which food products you which to donate and how many. Another benefit is that when you make a large donation, you no longer have to worry about carrying heavy boxes or bags of food to The Food Bank. Instead, your donation is delivered to The Food Bank instantaneously.
With virtual food drives, your donation goes a long way. For every $1 you donate through the virtual food drive towards food purchases and distribution, we are able to distribute $9 worth of food – that's the equivalent of about 3 meals! Through a canned food drive, you will probably be able to donate about three cans of food for every $1 you spend. A virtual food drive allows you to stretch your dollar much further towards helping hungry families.
Our virtual food drive tool is fully customizable for your company, group, or school, so you can have the same feeling of team effort as you would with a canned food drive.
Start a virtual food drive now!
If a virtual food drive isn't right for you or your group, a canned food drive is still a wonderful way to get involved and donate.
Below is our current list of most-needed food items. It's a great idea to try to collect items that can be combined to make a healthy meal, such as:
Please use our online form to tell us about your canned food drive!
Here are some tips for making your virtual or canned food drive successful:
Methods for food delivery
Due to a large number of requests for food drive pick-up, The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts has put together a list of helpful criteria for planning your food delivery:
1) Bring your Donations to The Food Bank:
2) Drop Off your Donations at a Food Bank Member Agency:
3) Arrange Bins for over 1,000 pounds:
Bins are large plastic containers approximately 4′ x 3′ wide ( 48" x 40" x 32"h)
Each bin holds approximately 600 pounds.
The Food Bank must deliver the bin ahead of time and pick-up following your event. Please provide a contact name and number for someone who will be present for the bin delivery and pick-up.
The Food Bank can deliver bins within a 30 mile radius of Hatfield.
All bin drop offs and pick ups are subject to the Food Banks availability and regular food delivery schedules.
There must be legal truck parking at your location.
Bins must be picked up using a forklift, and therefore kept outside a building or if inside, you must have a solid surface upon which to place the bin, and we must be able to use heavy machinery in the area.
For more information, please call The Food Bank at 413-247-9738 or email our Development & Marketing Department.

« Bracelets are back up!Catching Up on Appearances »
If you follow me on twitter, you'll have seen that I have been struggling terribly with my computer and my health. I've been off and on sick for the last two weeks, and my computer has been in and out of service. It's made life rough, needless to say. But I finally have it working(though on its' last leg) and I got guides done. I'm so so so so SOOOOO sorry for this delay. I'm going to try and work harder!!!

Kerr-Vance moving forward without athletic director
The athletic director position at Kerr-Vance Academy has been eliminated as a result of school budget cuts.
Paul Villatico, KVA's headmaster, said outgoing Jeff Tate did an "exceptional" job as athletic director.
Tate held the position for the 2013-2014 academic year, succeeding Rick Frampton.
Tate's duties have been assumed by multiple staff members including Villatico, David Carrier and Brian Russell.
Carrier is the varsity boys head basketball coach and Russell coaches the varsity girls basketball team. Both coaches also teach at the school.
"We're really trying to cover the whole thing with a few people instead of just one single person," said Villatico, who doesn't view the move as permanent.
"I see it as KVA right now having to make some difficult decisions based on financial need," Villatico said, "financial restructuring so that we can create a foundation to move forward so that we have the opportunity to increase enrollment, increase overall participation in any of the extracurricular activities, which includes athletics."
Before joining KVA as athletic director, Tate had successful tenures at Northern Vance and J.F. Webb as head baseball coach and also served as an assistant football coach at Northern.
Tate was to help KVA transition to charter status, but the school's application to the N.C. Office of Charter Schools was rejected in February.
"Mr. Villatico was always honest and supported me," Tate wrote in a statement to The Dispatch, "and I wish him the best and am thankful he gave me an opportunity."
KVA recently graduated 26 seniors following the departure of 42 in 2013.
Villatico expects the high school and middle school to have about 130 students combined for the 2014-2015 academic year and said there is no intention of eliminating any sports due to budget cuts.
"We have no intentions of letting anything — whether it's academics or athletics — go by the wayside," said Villatico. "We continue to push to make sure teams have everything they need so they can be as competitive as possible."
KVA's teams compete in N.C. Independent School Athletic Association Class 1-A and the Spartans expected a move to a new independent conference in the fall for one year regardless of the outcome of the charter application.
The Spartans had been a member of the Eastern Plains Independent Conference before the league dissolved following the conclusion of the recent spring sports seasons. That league included Rocky Mount Academy, Faith Christian and Halifax Academy — all three of which are joining KVA in a new mixed-classification (1-A/2-A) league.
Other members in the new league also include Crossroads Christian, Raleigh's St. Thomas More Academy, Greenville's Oakwood School, and Epiphany School of New Bern.
KVA and Crossroads teams often compete against each other, but the schools are now members of the same conference for the first time.

One of the main reasons I appreciate the Vancouver Canucks so much is the work they do in the community. Whether it's large donations like those made by the Sedin twins to BC Children's hospital or helping to build a playground at a school in Burnaby, the Canucks are constantly and personally involved in charity work around the city of Vancouver and province of British Columbia.
On Tuesday, the team announced that the Canucks for Kids Fund is helping to launch Mindcheck.ca, a resource website to increase awareness and understanding of mental illness. The website will be part of the legacy of Rick Rypien, who passed away last August after a long struggle with depression.
One of Rypien's closest friends, Kevin Bieksa, played a large role in this project. He knew how difficult it was for Rypien to share his struggles with others, even though he wanted to do so to help others who were going through the same trials.
"I obviously have a personal interest invested in this and it's near and dear to my heart to carry on his legacy," said Bieksa. "I went through it with him the last few years and understand the struggles and mental health challenges and how underestimated it can be and how overlooked, too. There's still not a lot of conversation out there and we're trying to raise awareness and erase the stigma associated with it. Hopefully, we don't have to see anybody else go through something like that."
Bieksa has recorded a PSA for the website, as well as adding his voice to the "In One Voice" campaign, which is a pledge to support those struggling with mental health.
I encourage you to visit the website and become familiar with the symptoms of mental illness and depression. Add your voice to the In One Voice pledge. It's possible that there is someone in your life struggling with this but they are afraid to speak out. Even for those who have friends and family supporting them, like Rypien, it's a difficult journey.
I only knew Rypien as a hockey player and I loved what he brought to the Canucks. This feels like the right way to honour his memory, to help others going through the same struggle that he went through. As a further step, the Canucks team store will be selling t-shirts like the one worn by Bieksa in the PSA, with all the proceeds going to the Canucks for Kids Fund in support of mental wellness.
The full Bieksa interview regarding Rypien is available on Canucks.com and it is well worth watching. Then find the people you love and tell them that you love them.Tags: Bieksa, Rick Rypien, Rypien
I'm so proud of the organization that they've decided to address Ryp's death in this way, as opposed to sweeping it under the rug, which may seem to be the easiest approach.
That picture of Juice and Ryp just breaks my heart a little. Juice looks like such a big brother to Ryp. Hopefully this website and the work of the Canucks can help a lot of people [especially young people].

Sharon - Besides using Lavender and or Serenity to help manage stress, what else can a person afflicted with Crohn's disease use?
Tamalu - I would recommend the doTERRA Lifelong Wellness Trio, in addition to Peppermint, Lemon and Oregano in capsules. Also in my research I found extensive research work has been done with Frankincense and a plethora of bowel conditions, from chronic colitis to Crohn's. I would not hesitate to add Frankincense to the capsule regimen, taking a 00 capsule up to twice daily.
Thor - As a sufferer of Crohn's Disease for over 20 years, I have found that a capsule of 2 drops of DigestZen and 2 drops of Frankincense makes a world of difference in the pain level that I feel on a daily basis.
I have also found that using cassia, DigestZen, and Peppermint externally can help with the pain as well. (Just don't put the cassia on and get in a hot shower - that one burned!)
Janelle - I like your capsule recipe. I would do exactly the same, maybe fill the remainder of the capsule with melted VCO. VCO is excellent for Crohn's and when synergistically combined with the DigestZen and Frankincense some have had great success.
To get more VCO, you could make a VCO smoothie or just take a couple tablespoons of it in the morning.
Another option for Crohn's is getting the oils blend, VCO and all with a rectal syringe and using a plug.
BK - I have a friend with Crohn's or colitis. He controls the pain with fresh juices blended with virgin coconut oil and he always has Peppermint and Lemon in his water.
Rob - I would experiment with augmenting the Frankincense and DigestZen blend with ginger, Peppermint or Marjoram. One of these could enhance your blend.
Cheryl - I have a student who suffers from Crohns and now has contracted Lymes. He is on a 2 month regimen of nasty antibiotics which is really causing the Crohns to flare. Can someone send me some information on oils and Crohns as well as Lymes?
Jan - I was diagnosed with borderline Lyme's disease and also had to do the nasty antibiotic regime 15 years ago. It caused a lot of problems until I finished the antibiotic course. I started a Candida regime after I got off the antibiotics. There are several oils that helped me they included Thyme, Oregano, clove, On Guard, and anything citrus. Also, I started the doTERRA wellness pack and their Probiotics product.
With the oils I usually put just one drop of each in a 16 ounce glass bottle and drink from it all day long, alternating the oils one at a time. Oregano is kind of nasty by itself, but with a little Wild Orange and a teaspoon of agave, it is not too bad. Hope this helps a little. I no longer have any traces of the Lyme's disease in my system, and my doctor now wonders if they misdiagnosed me...LOL! The power of the oils... Love doTERRA!
Loryjean - The Maker's Diet by Jonathan Rubin is an excellent book on Crohns' and successfully dealing with it.
Marti - Help with Crohns disease?
Thor - I drink a Peppermint tea (4 cups water, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 drop Peppermint - work on it until you get your taste right) everyday that helps me with my Crohns. I also use Frankincense, DigestZen and Peppermint in a capsule when the pain is really bad.
Pat - In answer to some queries regarding Crohn's. There has been extensive research done with Frankincense and a plethora of bowel conditions, from chronic colitis to Crohn's. I would not hesitate to add Frankincense to the capsule regiment listed below.
· 5 drops Peppermint
· 5 drops Digest Zen
· 4 drops Frankincense
Put in a size 00 capsule and take by mouth twice a day, for two weeks. Then change the formula to:
· 5 drops of ginger
· 5 drops of Peppermint or Marjoram
· 4 drops of Frankincense
Also for the pain use cassia, Digest Zen and Peppermint externally in the painful area.
Blend fresh fruits with virgin coconut oil and always use Lemon and/or Peppermint in your water.
I also heard that this tea recipe works everyday with Crohn's.
· 4 cups water
· 2 tbsp honey or agave
· 1 drop Peppermint (You may need to adjust the Peppermint to your taste.)
Julia - I've also heard, in my herbal classes that eliminating chicken from your diet will help. On that note, I would also suggest eating green smoothies every day along with the essential oils and blends.
Anonymous - I have a friend who has Chron's disease. She had surgery a few months ago to have the affected part of her intestine removed. Does anyone know of any oils that might be useful to someone with this condition?
Kathy – Thought this might be useful (see Science & Research tab) it talks about Chrone's disease (and other auto immune diseases).
In other words, Candida acts as a long term vaccination displaying the body's own cellular receptors to the body's immune system. When the immune system sees such receptors for a long enough time, it will attack cells which display such receptors, which includes the cells of the body. There is research which shows that such immune system reactions occur. The yeast Candida is the primary target. If the Candida is removed the body stops attacking itself.
The solution is simple and effective:
· 5 drops Melaleuca essential oil (doTerra)
· 5 drops Lemon essential oil (doTerra)
· 3 drops Oregano essential oil (doTerra)Put drops into an empty 00 capsule (buy at any health food store) and take one daily for 30 days. Stop for 2 weeks then take again for 30 days. Everyone needs this candida cleanse.
Of course the solution is simple and effective but the hard part is learning white sugar is your enemy – stay away from soda, sugary junk food. Even smoothies or carrot juice can overload your system so drink them slowly over a period of time and never more than 6 ounces at a time. While on these capsules, eat as healthy as possible and get plenty of water too.
Denise – My husband has Crohn's. Here's what he put together for it using essential oils:
(from OmniTerra.com) Capsules of Frankincense, Peppermint, and DigestZen mixed in various ratios seem to have the best effect. Mixing the oils in 1:1:1 seems to work well. Externally, rubbing cassia over the painful area seems to relax the bowel. However, this should be done after showering as hot water will increase the heat of the cassia making it painful on the skin.
Chelsea - Thank you for that great information Kathy! I LOVE the scientific stuff about this very subject and totally agree with Dr. Hill that candida is the root of most chronic health problems. If anyone feels like reading my long saga, I would greatly appreciate some help as the autoimmune thing is a big part of my life and I am feeling very frustrated!
I have faced Autoimmune disorders for years now- IBS at age 17, 16 years ago, Hypothyroid diagnosed 2 years ago and just a lot of chronically inflamed intestines, no energy, wondering about chronic fatigue, etc. At my husbands last check up the doctor was concerned about Lupus. We have yet to have him tested but we know there is either a celiac story or some other autoimmune something going on. About 1 year ago I had gone through some diet changes-added green smoothies & eliminated almost all refined foods. I also did a pretty invasive cleanse at which point I came to realize I had made it to the root of all my health issues and that was Candida overgrowth! Laura Jacobs put me on the VERY strict diet for a 6-8 week goal of annihilation. As long as I stayed within basically the 1st 2 week part of the diet with NO carbohydrates except green apples & sweet potatoes, I felt amazing, lost weight, bloating & inflammation was gone. As I added things back in, almost everything made me react! Almost every grain but rice, quinoa, and millet-which I hate-hurt so bad! Most veggies were fine but other than the green apples and berries, fruit continued to hurt me. It was great to find, but extremely frustrating because I can't live on 7 food items for the rest of my life! I have become pregnant in the last couple months- a feat by itself for me-that's another one of my issues, and am just eating whatever looks good and will stay down. I am in terrible pain and have very clear signs that the candida is back in full force and I am a little concerned because my urine is cloudy-everyday! I even have new exzema patches! I desperately want to do the candida cleanse but with my history of miscarraige, I am nervous. I know nothing could ultimately be better for a baby but could it hurt at this stage in the game? I am almost 13 weeks. Any thoughts, sorry about how desperate I may sound. I appreciate everyone so much!
Pat - There was a previous reply for Crohn's. A lady stated that she had had Crohn's for over 20 years and that now she uses a capsule of 2 drops Digest Zen and 2 drops Frankincense and fills the rest of the capsule with Virgin Coconut Oil taken on a daily basis. VCO is excellent for Crohn's and when synergistically combined with Digest Zen and Frankincense it does wonders.
Also using cassia, DigestZen, and Peppermint externally helps with the pain.
These oils also work well with Crohn's, they are; ginger and Marjoram. A Peppermint tea (4 cups water, 2 tbsp agave, 1 drop Peppermint) also helps and could be drunk daily. I would also take the LLW and even take the Candida blend as an alternative.

Each essential oil depending on what you are using it for, has a specific use and application. Let me help you with the correct application! https://www.facebook.com/nikki.tracy.3

Three races - Districts 3, 4, 5 - will go to runoffs on May 12
It's business as usual for sitting City Council members, who will serve until May 22 after Saturday's polls showed candidates in three races will face off again May 12.
Voters in Districts 3, 4 and 5 will get another chance to choose their representatives after no candidates in those races received at least 50 percent of the votes Saturday.
"It's a big thing for us because we have two of the highest voter turnout districts in the runoff," City Secretary Armando Chapa said, adding there were no runoffs in 2005 city elections. "It's been a while since we've had three runoffs."
These candidates will face off in May:
- Incumbent Jesse Noyola and Priscilla Leal in District 3
- James Duerr and Mike McCutchon in District 4, and
- Kendra Kinnison and Larry Elizondo in District 5.
Early voting for the runoff elections will be from April 30 to May 8, Chapa said.
In District 3, Noyola took 43.4 percent of the total votes, and Leal earned 30.8 percent.
In District 4, McCutchon had 35.5 percent. Duerr had 22.1 percent, overtaking Norm Baker who had 21.6 percent.
In District 5, Elizondo held 38 percent of votes compared with Kinnison's 37.1 percent.
The Duerr corner at City Hall erupted in applause as the last returns were released and showed he would be in the runoff. Duerr said the May 12 election would give him more time to campaign on the issues of safety, education and street improvement.
"It was a close race, but nobody turned negative," he said.
McCutchon said his next step is to examine the precinct results and talk to the other candidates. He said he is glad he is going into this runoff with a strong lead.
"The tough part is getting the message out, but I have a vision to get us forward," he said.
Noyola said he would visit with former District 3 candidate Rene Saenz to see if he is willing to turn over his supporters.
"I'll work harder, go out there and try to get the people who voted to vote again," Noyola said.
Leal, too, said she hopes Saenz's backers will jump to her camp. She'll continue to campaign in the district's neighborhoods, focusing on drainage and infrastructure issues.
"It covers a lot of area, and a lot of people need a lot of help," Leal said.
Elizondo, meanwhile, said he would try to nab defeated District 5 candidate Roy Pell's voters.
"It's the same message," he said. "Be accessible to all people of District 5, listen to the concerns and focus on the basics, like infrastructure."
Kendra Kinnison said she'll use the extra campaign time to reach out to more voters.
"I'll try to meet with as many people one-on-one through block walking, ask for their vote and answer any questions they have and share any information," she said.
She suspected a runoff because her opponents had strong name recognition and worked hard through the campaign.

Jakarta. President-elect Joko Widodo and his vice president, Jusuf Kalla, were handed their official security detail on Friday following the Constitutional Court's confirmation of their election win earlier in the week. The security officers will be drawn from the presidential guard (Paspampres), the state-owned Antara news agency reported.
Their security had previously been the responsibility of the National Police. A handover ceremony was held on Friday at the General Elections Commission (KPU) headquarters.
"The KPU thanks the police for a job well done," KPU chief Husni Kanil Manik said, as quoted by Antara. "From now on, we delegate the task to the Paspampres."
Paspampres was not able to take control of the pair's security until after the Constitutional Court had reached a verdict on losing candidate Prabowo's Subianto's appeal agains tthe results of the July 9 election.
Lieut. Col. Achmad Budi Handoyo from the presidential guard said scores of officers would be tasked with the security of the president, the vice president and the families of the two men.
"Each team consists of 37 officers… For the president [and vice president], 25 officers will be deployed and 12 officers will be guarding his spouse."

A recurring and very common customer issue seen here at the Percona Support team involves how to make the ibdata1 file "shrink" within MySQL.

How to recover table structure from InnoDB dictionary
To recover a dropped or corrupt table with Percona Data Recovery Tool for InnoDB you need two things: media with records(ibdata1, *.ibd, disk image, etc.) and a table structure. Indeed, there is no information about the table structure in an InnoDB page. Normally we either recover the structure from .frm files or take it from […]
Recovery after DROP & CREATE
In a very popular data loss scenario a table is dropped and empty one is created with the same name. This is because mysqldump in many cases generates the "DROP TABLE" instruction before the "CREATE TABLE":
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `actor`;
/*!40101 SET @saved_cs_client = @@character_set_client */;
/*!40101 SET character_set_client = utf8 */;
CREATE TABLE `actor` (
`actor_id` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`first_name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`last_name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`last_update` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY (`actor_id`),
KEY `idx_actor_last_name` (`last_name`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=201 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
/*!40101 SET character_set_client = @saved_cs_client */;
If there were no subsequent CREATE TABLE the recovery would be trivial. Index_id of the PRIMARY index of […]

Never tell a patron to sit at any table they like and then tell them to move after they have made themselves comfortable. If the proprietor wants to keep certain tables in reserve, then seat the patrons accordingly. Do not then follow that faux pas up with a response that a specific variety of ale is sold out with a matter of fact there you go flippant notification with absolutely no pretense at apology or regret. Then again, it's an airport, the wait staff is amateur, not professional, so the food is okay, the Belgian wheat which was available was as good as it's tradename is known for and you do get to sit down and order as opposed to stand in line like a lunch truck grab, go & gobble. It is civilised. And Led Zep's "In the Evening" will make you smile if it's been too many years since you last heard it,.....

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
Digital video is a medium that is now available to almost everyone. It can be captured on anything from a mobile phone to a high-definition camera, and published anywhere from YouTube to Blu-ray discs. In Premiere Elements 4 Essential Training, Adobe Certified Instructor Chad Perkins explores all the video editing capabilities of Premiere Elements 4. Chad starts with a real-world sample project, then covers techniques for importing and editing video; and adding effects, transitions, and animation. He concludes with a final project incorporating all the steps, including exporting and posting. Exercise files accompany the course.
In this movie, we're going to be talking about a really cool feature in Premiere Elements called Detect Beats. If you like to follow along I'm using the project called Beat Detect in the Chapter 7 folder. Basically I have this cool audio clip called Totally 80s Groovathon. This little loop-based clip that I made in Apple's GarageBand here, so I'm going to drag this down and add this to my project, on either the narration or the soundtrack, track doesn't really matter. Let's just play this back to here what's going on here.
(Electronic music plays.) Oh man, that is a dance party right there. That's awesome! Now this track is really driven by the rhythm, and let's say I wanted to sink up some video clips to the changes of the beats. To be pretty hard right now because I have no idea where those beats are. As I scrub this I can't tell anything about this clip. So what we can do is we could have Premiere Elements automatically detect where these beats should be so that we could sink up our audio to the beats of the song.
Now this could be done in either the Sceneline or the Timeline as you see Detect Beats here, but markers don't show up in the Timeline. This Detect Beats feature actually adds Timeline Markers which we can't really see in the Sceneline. So we're going to go to the Timeline here in order to see them although you can't detect beats in either view. So with this clip selected I'm going to click on Detect Beats. Now these settings are a little bit complex. We could really get in there and be very precise about the type of beats that this is detecting, like how hard they are or how soft they are, how often they are and we could really restrict which beats of the song are getting detected.
So if you have like a rave song for example or a disco song it's very percussion heavy, you might not want a marker like every single second but a lot of that music that's very pounding would create markers very often which you may or may not want. Let's say for example, this top setting here. Minimum time between beats, the default setting is two seconds. For crying out loud, my grandparents don't listen the songs with beats that are two whole seconds apart. So I want to drag this down so that these beats can be closer together.
Let's try and see what this looks like with 0.4. Again with the default settings of 0.2 every single marker is going to be at least two seconds apart, so that's not going to help us too much. So if I click OK now, it takes just a quick second but as I go through here and I play this and watching the play head go through the Current Time Indicator, go through this Timeline we will see that these little markers kind of match up to some of the beats here in the song. (Electronic music plays.) Very cool! Now we could use these markers as visual guides as far as where to put our clips when we're assembling our edits.
Now I found that with this feature you've got to kind of fiddle with it a little bit. There is no one setting that always works and you definitely don't get the results that you're looking for right off the bat. It's an amazing feature in theory but not always in practice. The good news is, is that if you want to Undo this and have it Detect Beats with different settings you could just hit Ctrl+Z to get rid of all those Timeline Markers and start allover again. So let's click Detect Beats again and let's take this down even farther. So there is only a tenth of a second in between each beat.
And if we increase the difference, then we're not going to get as many markers because the beats will have to be even more pronounced for Premiere Elements to go in and create a marker. As we reduce to different setting then it will make even more subtle beats have markers. So if your song maybe has hi-hats and a base and snare you might get markers for every single hit of every single hi-hat and base and snare. We only want the best though, we only want the base and the snare. So I'm going to take up difference and take down minimum time between beats a little bit more and hit OK and see if we come up with here.
So now let's hit the Home key and preview what this looks like. (Electronic music plays.) So it looks like we're getting some of the keyboard as well. So only where there are real tight accents not just base and snare but just real tight accents of them are we getting these markers. So you can see where the melody changes right here visually to the dan... dan... uh... da... da... uh... da... da... na... well, you know I don't have the hum it for you, but you're seeing these groups of two markers right there signifying that particular change.
So if you're going to sink up again your video to those little beats this would be so incredibly difficult without this feature. In the next movie, we're going to talk about the linkage between audio and video a little bit deeper. Specifically we're going to talk about how to get rid of audio attached to video or to unlink them so that you can shuffle them around. That's coming up next.

The huge variety of marine life in the waters off the west coast of Australia is one of the reasons that so many people choose to holiday in the area. Normally, only those who book a tour with a company such as ours will get the chance to see this wildlife at close quarters though and, judging by the number of satisfied customers we have had in the past, it is an experience that is well worth the expense. If you are able to swim with a snorkel or have experience diving in open waters then you can dive with whale sharks accompanied by our qualified instructors on a day out that you will never forget.
For those that are not confident in their abilities, our instructors will be happy to assist and will make sure that you feel completely comfortable so that you can enjoy everything that a trip with us has to offer. The feeding season for the main attraction mentioned above is from mid March to late July but there are plenty of other species to see throughout the year so whenever you have some free time, a visit to the Ningaloo Marine Park is well worthwhile.
Unlike on some tours, when we take customers on a cruise of the waters around the fringing coral reef that supports so many species in these waters, there is no pressure to leap into the sea if you would prefer not to. Whether you are an experienced diver that has been scuba diving on numerous occasions or have never even used a snorkel before, the trip is sure to be great fun. An onboard viewing platform allows passengers to observe the beautiful marine creatures we come across without having to get wet if they don't want to.
Simply watching Ningaloo reef whale sharks can be just as much fun as diving with them on our tours and there are lots of other sights to see during a day on our boats. The price we charge includes the use of snorkelling gear if required, as well as food and drink. The delicious lunch eaten onboard whilst taking in the fabulous ocean views all around is a good enough reason on its own for coming on a trip with us and the fact that every passenger gets the chance to swim with amazing creatures such as whalesharks makes it a magical day.
Although most passengers are primarily interested in seeing the creatures that our underwater tours are famous for, because we operate our own spotter plane we are able to locate dolphins, humpback whalers and other marine life that may be of interest. Once everybody has spent as long as they wish swimming with one species our plane can be directed to look for something new so boredom is never a problem when sailing with us.
There are quite a few companies that operate tours in this area but we are the only one to operate our own plane so Ningaloo coral reef tours on our dive vessels offer more time swimming with the fish and mammals that can be found in the area. Without our own aircraft, we would be in the same position as other operators that have to wait in line until a shared spotter plane has finished assisting other boats. We appreciate the fact that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many of our customers, which is why we do everything possible to ensure that they have the perfect day out and see everything that they wanted to see, including plenty of time with the majestic whale sharks.

Concentrating Solar Power Resources and Technologies
This page provides a brief overview of concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies supplemented by specific information to apply CSP within the Federal sector.
Concentrating solar power technologies produce electricity by concentrating the sun's energy using reflective devices, such as troughs or mirror panels, to reflect sunlight onto a receiver. The resulting high-temperature heat is used to power a conventional turbine to produce electricity.
There are three types of CSP technologies:
Linear concentrator systems collect the sun's energy using long rectangular, curved (U-shaped) mirrors. The mirrors are tilted toward the sun, focusing sunlight on tubes (or receivers) that run the length of the mirrors. The reflected sunlight heats a fluid flowing through the tubes. The hot fluid is then used to boil water in a conventional steam-turbine generator to produce electricity.
Dish/engines use a mirrored dish similar to a very large satellite dish. The dish-shaped surface directs and concentrates sunlight onto a thermal receiver, which absorbs and collects the heat and transfers it to the engine generator, which is used to produce electricity.
Power towers use a large field of flat, sun-tracking mirrors, known as heliostats, to focus and concentrate sunlight onto a receiver on the top of a tower. A heat-transfer fluid heated in the receiver is used to generate steam, which is then used in a conventional turbine generator to produce electricity.
CSP systems are used to generate a large amount of electricity and require large amounts of land to deploy. These technologies are typically not applicable under other circumstances.
Visit the Department of Energy's (DOE) Solar Technologies Program for in-depth information about solar energy basics and technologies. An Energy 101 Video on Concentrating Solar Power is also available on the EERE multimedia site.
Federal Application
Before conducting an assessment or deploying CSP systems, Federal agencies must evaluate a series of questions. Concentrating solar power systems are viable for large-scale electricity production in the Federal sector.
What are my energy goals?
Energy goals range from meeting regulatory requirements to powering remote applications to increasing energy security.
Regulatory Requirements: Electricity produced by solar energy falls under the Energy Policy Act (EPAct) of 2005 definition of renewable energy and can be used to meet EPAct 2005 renewable energy requirements.
Remote Power: CSP systems are a major investment and generate large amounts of electricity. The systems are typically not appropriate or cost-effective for remote power applications.
Energy Security: Solar energy is natural and renewable. The energy source is found in abundance across the U.S. and can be leveraged to increase energy continuity.
What kind of energy do I use?
Federal agencies must understand what type of energy is needed before determining if concentrating solar power is applicable. CSP systems generate electricity and are not appropriate for mechanical or thermal power.
When do I need the energy?
Due to their large size, most CSP systems are tied into the utility grid. This combination provides accessible electricity around the clock to meet agency load requirements.
How much power do I use/need to produce?
CSP systems generate large amounts of electricity and are applicable for campus size deployments or larger.
Is open land available?
Concentrating solar power systems require a large, open area of land to accommodate sprawling collector and tower equipment. According to SolarPACES, CSP trough systems require an average of 5.5 acres per megawatt of electricity produced. If large, open areas are not available, CSP may not be the best solution. It is important to consult an expert to determine whether CSP systems are a good fit for your Federal facility.
Where am I located?
For a broad overview of your facility's solar resources, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) provides solar energy resource maps of the U.S. Before initiating a project, solar resources in your area must be measured and verified. Resource maps are a good start, but resources vary at a micro level. It is important to consult an expert for a professional evaluation before implementing energy projects.
What is my budget?
CSP systems are a large investment with varying costs depending on application and location specifics. It is important to consult an expert to determine whether CSP systems are a good fit for your budget.
What resources are available for operations and maintenance?
The operation and maintenance (O&M) of a parabolic trough power plant is very similar to conventional steam power plants that cycle on a daily basis. Staffing is needed to operate and maintain them 24-hours per day. CSP systems also require additional labor to maintain the solar fields. Experience shows that solar field mirrors must be washed frequently during the summer, but the increase in solar output pays for the cost of labor and water. Current power plants may wash mirrors weekly during the peak solar times of the year and every few months during the winter.
Next steps
Visit the project planning section for detailed information on planning and deploying renewable energy projects. Federal case studies are available to provide specific examples of viable solar energy projects.
Detailed information on solar energy resources and technologies is available through:
DOE Solar Technologies Program: Program providing information and resources on solar energy resources and technologies.
American Solar Energy Society: Leading association of solar professional and grassroots advocates.
Solar Electric Power Association: Compilation of more than 560 electric utilities, solar companies, and other industry stakeholders to form a central resource for unbiased and actionable solar intelligence.
Solar Energy Industries Association: Organization working to expand the use of solar technologies, strengthen research and development, remove market barriers, and improve education and outreach for solar.

BFA-St. Albans makes the biggest push in this week's girls basketball power rankings while Champlain Valley withstood its toughest challenge yet in one of the best games so far this winter.
Disagree with my rankings? Join the discussion in the comment section below.
This week's rankings:
1. Champlain Valley (13-0): Facing their biggest adversity of the season — a deficit in the fourth quarter — the Redhawks' seniors reached down and pulled out the victory at Rice to extend their winning streak, which now stands at 36 games. Tests like that should only benefit CVU as it chases a repeat title. Last week: 1.
2. Rice Memorial (11-2): The Green Knights gave CVU and its season-plus winning streak a major scare last week before succumbing in the final minutes. The loss, however, didn't crack Rice, which rolled over North Country behind 1,000-point scorer Hailee Barron (18 points, six steals). Last week: 2.
3. Mount Anthony (12-2): Balance has keyed the Patriots' strong start, another example of that coming Tuesday in the 70-39 win over Burr and Burton, their 10th victory this season by at least 10 points. Last week: 3.
4. Colchester (10-3): The Lakers secured their best win to date — a 44-31 win over South Burlington behind Alana Feeley's 3-point barrage. The win pushed Colchester's streak to seven games, a run that will be tested tonight when Mount Abraham comes to town. Last week: 5.
5. Essex (9-4): The Hornets pushed aside a three-game losing skid — that included defeats to CVU and Rice — with wide-margin wins over North Country and Spaulding, the latter of which powered by Kara Sheftic's monster, 24-point, 23-rebound performance. Last week: 6.
6. BFA-St. Albans (8-4): Flying to a four-game winning streak with triumphs over Essex and Burlington, the Comets have zoomed into the top 10. Their staying power, however, will be challenged with upcoming tilts against CVU (tonight) and Rice (Saturday). Last week: Bubble.
7. Williamstown (12-0): Coach Sid Sweet notched his 100 career win in the Blue Devils' victory at home Wednesday night, a milestone that should just be a footnote in the program's title plans this winter. Last week: 7.
8. Burlington (7-6): An 0-2 stretch last week — losses to CVU and BFA-St. Albans — drop the Seahorses, who have struggled to score since Ajla Medic's injury. Last week: 4.
9. Thetford (13-1): Since losing to U-32, a team they had defeated earlier this month, the Panthers have gone 3-0 in the span of four nights, winning by an average margin of 31.7 points. Last week: 8.
10. Mount Abraham (10-3): The Eagles bounced back from its 12-point loss to South Burlington by cruising past Missisquoi and Milton. A tougher Lake opponent, in Colchester, is up next tonight. Last week: 9.
On bubble: Brattleboro (11-4), Mount St. Joseph (13-0), U-32 (12-3), Fair Haven (10-3), South Burlington (8-5).

Thousands of discs were released this year, but only 20 could make the final cut. With the most scientific of instruments (headphones, and sometimes CD players) we whittled down this year's releases, and for the past two Thursdays, we've delivered five of our faves. Let us know what we missed, and what you loved.
LCD Soundsystem, Sounds of Silver (DFA)
James Murphy is the patron saint of downtown cool, and anything he or his record label touches instantly becomes an indie treasure. What's most extraordinary about his sophomore release is its accessibility — at its heart, this is a bubblegum pop record, and not the salty organic kind of gum you buy at the health food co-op, either. We're talking Bubblicious here, people. Long renowned for long-playing dance-floor remixes and shoe-shopping house beats — his other record this year, 45:33, provides an excellent example of that — Murphy's work on Sounds of Silver is discreet, short and frequently to the point. "North American Scum" is precisely the kind of song you want with you at the gym, a self-deprecating slice of upbeat funk with lyrics that'll never make the Republicans happy: "New York's the greatest if you get someone to pay the rent . . . and it's the furthest you can live from the government." Then there's the new wavy "Someone Great" and "All My Friends," a song so suffused with nostalgia and desire it sounds like it belongs in a John Hughes movie. It's excellent, easy to listen to and innately underground, and it's been a long time since those three elements intersected in a pop album. Yes, there's a sense of unrequited longing here, but so much the better for Murphy if he keeps producing work like this.
M.I.A., Kala (INTERSCOPE)
For her second album, thinking-liberal's pop star M.I.A. traded political sloganeering and an abundance of hooks for something much simpler: an album of bangers, bamboo and otherwise. Compared to her 2005 debut, Arular, Kala's beats are more propulsive, its messages are more opaque and its cultural mining is even stronger. The resulting album is all prowess and ire and recontextualized sound. It is, at heart, a hip-hop record, and because it's so effective and singular and forward-thinking, it's the heart of hip-hop in '07, period. As always, M.I.A.'s speak-singy vocals turn charisma into a fine art. Her personality is so huge, she'd have Rihanna's career if the world were fair. But then, her whole point seems to lie in reminding us that it isn't.
Band of Horses, Cease To Begin (SUB POP)
Let's forgive them the fact that their songs are all about mood and aura, rather than "feelings" or the problems that bring those "feelings" about. And let's forgive them the fact that the singer veers into Supertramp territory now and again. Let's just bathe in the eerie pomp of the chiming guitars and the rhythm section's splashy forward motion. Like U2 sleeping over at the Jayhawks' house, these guys make melancholy anthems that love to reverberate everywhere before they slink home with the echoes dissipating in the distance. Maybe it's their recent move to North Carolina, but for a grandiose outfit there sure are quite a few moments where twang takes over. Dream pop disc of the year.
Radiohead, In Rainbows (ATO RECORDS)
It was a David & Goliath tale, if David were a band of insanely talented mope rockers and Goliath was the desperately floundering record industry. In short, the band revolutionized the music industry in 42 minutes and 34 seconds, with 10 songs: The band would offer its newest effort, In Rainbows, and whatever folks felt fit to pay, well, that's the price of the album. It would be considered an impressive move by a lesser band. That the band was one of the most popular, and simultaneously respected, outfits in music today only compounds the coup. But to concentrate solely on marketing techniques, the implications of morality and the free market economic discussions this generates would miss the point: the band has made a gorgeous album. From the glitchy snares and waltzing jazz guitar of "15 Steps" to the stark, maker-meeting "Videotape" that seems to take its percussion from a funeral march, the album shows a marked change in the four years its been since Hail to the Thief. Gone is the politically tinged rock invective, and the verse-chorus-verse songs. Radiohead has made an opus, difficult to splice into song, and utterly captivating throughout.
The Shins, Wincing the Night Away (SUB POP)
It's amazing James Mercer can get a word out, let alone an album, without choking altogether. Following the release of Oh, Inverted World, indie director Zach Braff latched on to it, using the majority of the album as the soundtrack to his movie, and even having his protagonist Natalie Portman utter the phrase: "This band will change your life." That the band went on to make two records improving on the home-recording-honed formulae James Mercer devised for their debut is a feat. With their melodic base well-established, the band appeared to move outward from that point; experimenting with sound ("Sea Legs," with its plastic bags popping as percussion) as well as perspective ("Phantom Limb" tells the story of two teenage lesbians alienated at their school).

Al-Qaida turns tide for rebels in battle for eastern Syria

As they stood outside the commandeered government building in the town of Mohassen, it was hard to distinguish Abu Khuder's men from any other brigade in the Syrian civil war, in their combat fatigues, T-shirts and beards.
But these were not average members of the Free Syrian Army. Abu Khuder and his men fight for al-Qaida. They call themselves the ghuraba'a, or "strangers", after a famous jihadi poem celebrating Osama bin Laden's time with his followers in the Afghan mountains, and they are one of a number of jihadi organisations establishing a foothold in the east of the country now that the conflict in Syria has stretched well into its second bloody year.
They try to hide their presence. "Some people are worried about carrying the [black] flags," said Abu Khuder. "They fear America will come and fight us. So we fight in secret. Why give Bashar and the west a pretext?" But their existence is common knowledge in Mohassen. Even passers-by joke with the men about car bombs and IEDs.
