Video of my Second fight.
Well guys I just had my 2nd bout and I lost a split decision. It's like 4:45 in the morning after it and i still can't sleep over it haha. Damn I dunno... I feel like I got robbed, but it was my fault for letting it stay so close. I want to know you're honest opinion on what you think the outcome should have been, as well as some helpful comments/compliments, Whatever.
There is a little back story to this... I have two fights so far, both of which have been against this kid. The first time we fought it was much closer, and probably should have went his way, so I think they gave it to him this time around. The crowd seemed to have the same thought as me, they Flipped when they raised his hand.
So when I walked to my trainer after the last round he tells me he thinks we have this one and all. So when I loose he went and talked to the commissioner who said to him "Hey well last fight was so close and this one was too I dunno... Just make sure you keep Vincent around he's got some potential and a heart on him"... Just gets me mad. I had just about everyone except my opponents parents come up to me and say I got robbed so that made me feel a little better, but a loss is a loss. I gotta take it and learn from it.
Sorry this is so jumbled and hard to read haha, Not in writing mode right now. Thanks in advance every

Re: Video of my Second fight.
It's real close, could go either way. Awkward fight, ortho vs. southie, tall vs short. The nature of the beast.
I like that you move to your left a lot against him, but think you could have changed it up a bit more with some movement the other way too to create angles on him and score some more cleaner punches. You appeared to be landing more, but a lot of those were on the mitts. He was hitting a bit cleaner at times.
Overall I think it really could have gone either way. Only your 2nd fight so like you said yourself, learn from it. And try to get a different match up next time around. see how you fare against a different opponent. Unless this is a tour and you had no choice. Would be interested in seeing you fight someone closer in height to you and ortho.

Re: Video of my Second fight.
Here's how I scored it, but keep in mind I have no idea what I'm doing and neither did the cameraman, so my score might not be a reflection of what really happened.
Red: 1, 8, 5
Blue: 2, 4, 2
It was hard for me to score because you both seemed tentative--there were a lot of punches that seemed to kinda land but not really...almost like you guys were pulling away as soon as you made impact.
The two things that stuck out at me were:
You should really work on throwing a hard jab and snapping it back. A lot of times you paw with it and barely touch him. If you'd step in and throw it harder, you might score with it.
Also, against a southpaw it's often hard to jab, so you could try throwing lead hooks. I think against a guy with a high guard like that, you might have some success. The hook might not score, but it'll set up right hands and combinations.
But good fight, I thought you won it. Now you'll have to have a tiebreaker I guess...
BTW, here's what I scored the first one:
Red: 6, 7, 11
Blue: 5, 11, 4

Re: Video of my Second fight.
Oh Sorry guys, I am in the Red...
Youngblood: Yea you're 100% right on the tentative idea... I think it was from our first fight, which was real rough. We both felt each others power so the game changed this time. But there isn't gonna be many guys close to my height in my weight class, I'm a monster in it.
KillSomething: Thanks for scoring both fights like that glad to see some1 else's insight. And aw yea I'm sure we're gonna see each other again, no question about that.

Re: Video of my Second fight.
Got to use your jab ALOT more.
But don't worry too much, it's only your second fight and you appear to be way ahead of most other people with two fights. You're actually boxing most of the time and not just turning it into wild brawl. You're doing the most important thing which is to learn from your losses.

Re: Video of my Second fight.
You have good control as mentioned (not brawling etc.). Try and focus on being explosive with your shots, zip in and throw a combo and zip out. Throw your shots with bad intentions- demand their respect.
Keep going with it and it'll come. Props on your 2nd fight.

Felix Baumgartner
The Red Bull Stratos mission planned for October 9 in Roswell was postponed just minutes before completing inflation of the balloon due to windy weather, which could have made the balloon more susceptible to tearing and the mission more dangerous.
Austrian skydiver and base jumper, Felix Baumgartner, backed by Red Bull and a team of aerospace experts, was set to jump from a stratospheric balloon lifted 120,000 feet in the air, free falling and breaking the sound barrier. The mission would reportedly break records and help with scientific research.
The project has been years in the making, with the planning process beginning in 2005. Red Bull Stratos assembled a team consisting of experts in skydiving, medicine, aerospace engineering and other related fields to organize a successful and productive mission. The team included retired U.S. Air Force Colonel Joseph Kittinger, who holds three of the records Baumgartner intends to break. Kittinger had made a record jump from 102,800 ft in 1960.
The planning process included producing an appropriate suit for the program, finding a location with ideal conditions, and testing out equipment in unmanned test falls. Then, Baumgartner made test falls at smaller heights. In March 2012, Baumgartner made a test fall at 71,614 ft and in July 2012, a fall from 97,063 feet.
The team had planned to start the October 9 launch at 6:30 in the morning, but postponed due to strong winds at 700 ft, near the top of the balloon. They expected calmer speeds at the 11:30 a.m. launch time, but found that they were too significant to ensure a safe launch.
The Red Bull Stratos team said they still plan to conduct the mission at that site in Roswell; they are working to find an appropriate weather window and will update their website and Twitter account with the new dates.

There's been a lot of negativity surrounding the new rules emphasis on contact in the defensive backfield.
Patriots Insider Tom E. Curran wants people to stop complaining about the rules. On Quick Slants he explained why.
"It should yield some consistency," said Curran. "In the past we've watched crews who'd let a corner do everything short of full-on assault. Then the next crew, the next week wouldn't even let a corner look at a wideout without throwing a flag."
Curran believes people should be excited about the changes.
"If you're a Patriots fan, you like this," explained Curran. "The Patriots offense is a timing offense.Pygmies like Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola are based on timing when they're coming off their routes. A little check, a little grab, a little pull sets them off and makes Tom Brady double clutch. They will benefit highly from the new rules emphasis."
"Relax everybody, it's just a couple flags."

Last week I ran some gaming benchmarks on AMD's A8-6600K APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) and found that it was surprisingly competent at rendering advanced graphics — provided you're willing to make significant compromises like dropping down to 720p and reducing overall quality.
When Crysis 3 drove me into the performance wall, I decided to put AMD's highly touted "Dual Graphics" solution (previously called "Hybrid Crossfire") to the test, followed by a revealing experience with AMD's newer A10-6800K APU.
Picking up where we left off, I decided to first benchmark Dirt Showdown, BioShock Infinite, Sleeping Dogs, Crysis 3, Metro: Last Light, Guild Wars 2, and Total War: Shogun 2 with a 2GB Radeon HD 6670 from Gigabyte. Since the 6670 is the suggested highest pairing for Dual Graphics with an APU, it made sense to see what kind of standalone results it produced.
On average, the 6670 posted an average of 4 to 7 more Frames Per Second (FPS) than the A8-6600K. Given this data (see the chart below), I assumed that scaling up to Dual Graphics would, as AMD claims in their marketing material, allow me to "get the power of two."
The chart below contains results for all three testing environments: A8-6600K standalone, Radeon HD 6670 standalone, and both combined in Dual Graphics.
Across seven very different games — some optimized for AMD, some for NVIDIA — the results are sobering. The largest performance boosts we see with Dual Graphics enabled are BioShock Infinite and Crysis 3 with an approximate 30% improvement. But as you can see, half of our test titles like Dirt Showdown and Metro: Last Light seem to barely acknowledge the 6670′s existence.
The verdict? At least with the A8-6600K, the dual graphics solution can't be justified across the board. For a budget build, you're better off paying less for a CPU without embedded graphics (perhaps the FX-4100) and diverting the savings into a slightly better dedicated graphics card.
Before a concrete conclusion is declared, though, you might be interested in what happens when you step up to AMD's newest A10-6800K APU and boost the system memory speed from 1600MHz to 1866MHz.
Using the same games and settings as the previous tests, the A10-6800K generally holds its own against the dual graphics setup of the A8+6670. A hat tip to AMD, here. What surprised me most, however, was the far more drastic performance bump on display when using the A10-6800K in a dual graphics environment. Now games like Dirt Showdown and Crysis 3 seem to be taking more efficient advantage of the shared video memory, which can be slightly attributed to the faster system RAM.
Perhaps now we can render a concrete verdict? What I'm seeing based on the A10-6800K tests is encouraging and it lends hope for AMD's next generation of APUs. Based on the graphical prowess of the APUs inside the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, we know what AMD is capable of.
Still, with the aforementioned A10 dual graphics setup, we're looking at about $220 for components barely giving us 60FPS at 720p resolutions and low to medium quality settings. Spend an extra $50 on a cheaper AMD quad-core CPU (minus the integrated graphics) and a more powerful discrete Radeon card and you'll easily attain 1080p playability on medium to high quality settings. What AMD has done with their latest generation of APUs is impressive, but a more traditional solution still makes sense for a gaming PC.

Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) is pleased to announce that it has bestowed the Patron Saint Award on Beverly Russell. This award is an annual tradition that recognizes individuals for their outstanding volunteer support and contributions to the college and its students.
Russell has been an active, longtime supporter of MHCC. The District Board of Education elected her to fill her husband Ron Russell's unexpired term when he passed away in 2006; she then ran successfully for a four-year term in 2007. She served on numerous board committees, including budget, negotiations and presidential search and served as chair 2009-10.
She has also been a longtime supporter of the MHCC Foundation and currently serves on the board. She reads and scores scholarship applications and recruits her friends and family to attend foundation events.
"I was surprised and thrilled with this honor," says Russell. "Mt. Hood Community College is a valuable community asset worthy of our time, energy and resources. The college helps people to create opportunities for themselves so they can achieve their dreams."

Originally published in Interiors & Sources
Springfield, IL /PRNewswire/ – The American Institute of Architects (AIA), Illinois Council, recently announced its "150 Illinois Great Places." Located in towns and cities across the state, these places have been identified by leading architects as contributing to their communities' quality of life.
The Great Places commemorate AIA's 150th anniversary, and will showcase the best of the best in Illinois. The recognition program was designed to broadly include the "built environment," which includes civil, landscape and engineering places, as well as architecture. Each place will receive a plaque commemorating its impact on the community experience, and will be featured on the organization's Web site. The site (www.aiail.org) will showcase each Great Place as a basis for public education and special events throughout this year.
The list includes schools, churches, offices, court houses, museums, and planned communities. Though half of the places are historically designated, many others were built in the late 20th century. Renowned architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe are recognized, as are urban planners, landscape architects, urban designers and local builders.
Each location holds significance for people in their respective communities and creates an experience for visitors, as was AIA Illinois' intention. "We want to inspire the leaders of today and tomorrow to recognize the best of Illinois," says AIA 150 champion Mike Jackson, FAIA. "The Great Places list spans the entire period of human settlement in Illinois, which gives it a strong historical dimension. It isn't meant to be a 'greatest hits' but rather a way of 'setting the standard' for future developments."
The program also includes a thematic portion, acknowledging a highly-recognizable type of building created by more than one designer. The Chicago Bungalow was among this group, with more than 70,000 built in the city proper. Carnegie Libraries are listed at the state-level as an architectural era known for its classical revival style.
Nominations came from all parts of the state and were open to anyone who wished to submit, including members of the public. A selection committee comprised of architects, working with local officials and other organizations, determined the winners. Nominations were weighed against criteria including the AIA's "10 Principles of Livable Communities." They must be publicly accessible, pedestrian-friendly, designed on a human scale, and provide vibrant, public spaces, among meeting other requirements.
"Illinois holds a unique place in the history of American architecture and has a strong tradition of design innovation that is recognized worldwide," says AIA Illinois president Leonard Koroski. "For 150 years, the work of AIA members has impacted our communities in countless ways. We honor that legacy by celebrating the past while looking forward to designing the future."
AIA Illinois is the state AIA component which represents more than 4,000 architects and architectural interns on issues of statewide importance to the public and profession. AIA Illinois links the six local AIA chapters that serve our members in the communities where they work and live. The organization is the voice of architects and the profession of architecture in state government, advocating for members' and the public's best interests. AIA Illinois is committed to monitoring, influencing and responding to legislation and regulatory policy affecting architects and their clients; this includes licensing laws, building safety requirements, liability and project delivery.

Treble the chance to give your group a kickstart...
Posted: December 13, 2012|
GROUPS in North Lincolnshire can now treble their opportunity to grab a share of £20,000.
This week a triple voting coupon is printed below, meaning the coupons are worth three times as much to your chosen group.
North Lincolnshire Council has teamed up with the Scunthorpe Telegraph to bring back Cash For Your Community, which aims to reward charity and not-for-profit groups with cash rewards.
The council has invested £10,000, which the Telegraph has matched with a further £10,000 to enable groups to share in a total of £20,000.
Among the organisations collecting coupons is the Lincolnshire Martial Arts Centre on East Common Lane in Scunthorpe.
Kevin O'Loughlin, grand master at the martial arts club, said he entered the campaign for the chance to get some much-needed cash.
He said: "I entered the campaign because the cash would make a big difference for the club.
"I entered in the hope we could get some money to buy play equipment.
"We need new kick bags and body armour as our equipment is getting a bit old.
"We provide all the equipment, so all members need to do is bring themselves in their kit.
"The club has been running for four years now and is still as popular as ever.
"We have about 70 pupils and are always getting more.
"We have recently located to a new venue, which is brilliant.
"It provides us with our own space and I have spent a long time decorating and making it a nice environment for the members."
Lincolnshire Martial Arts members train every night from 5pm until 9pm.
Readers can now decide how much is given to each of the groups registered for the scheme by collecting the voting coupons printed in the Telegraph. Registration for more groups is now closed.
Coupons will be printed every Thursday until December 20. All coupons submitted must be accompanied with a coupon collection form – like the one printed on this page.
More forms are available to download on our website www.scunthorpetelegraphfyc. com
The closing date for submitting coupons is Wednesday, January 9, 2013.
For more about the scheme, call our promotions team on 01472 372243.

Born in San Luis Obispo, California, and raised close by in Arroyo Grande, Zac Efron took his first step toward acting at the age of 11 when his parents took note of his singing ability. Singing lessons soon led to an appearance in the production of "Gypsy" which ran 90 performances, and he was hooked. After appearing on stage in "Peter Pan," "Mame," "Little Shop of Horrors" and "The Music Man," guest parts quickly followed on television series, including "Firefly," "ER" and "The Guardian." After guest-starring in several episodes of "Summerland," he joined the regular cast as girl-crazy Cameron Bale. Efron also starred in several pilots such as "The Big, Wide World of Carl Laemke" and "Triple Play."
Zac then went on to star as an autistic child in the television movie "Miracle Run," alongside Mary-Louise Parker and Aidan Quinn, in the Disney Channel Original Movie "High School Musical", and guest starred on the hit Disney Channel show "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody". Zac starred in an independent film titled "The Derby Stallion" and he reprised his role as Troy Bolton in the Disney "High School Musical" series of films which were a worldwide phenomenon, rising Zac to celebrity status. Among other projects, Zac starred in "Hairspray" in 2007 with John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Christopher Walken, landed a role in the independent film "Me and Orson Welles" in 2008, and starred in "17 Again" with Matthew Perry and Leslie Mann.
Zac was to star in a remake of the 1984 hit "Footloose" in 2009 before dropping out of this project to play the lead role of Charlie in "Charlie St. Cloud". In October 2010 Zac relocated to Louisiana to film the lead role of Logan in the upcoming film "The Lucky One", based on the novel of the same name by Nicholas Sparks. Zac now has his own production company under Warner Bros. called Ninjas Runnin' Wild Prods. and is set to star in and produce many upcoming movies from Warner Bros.
Zac currently resides in the state of California. His favorite sports include golf, skiing, rock climbing, surfing, and snowboarding. Repairing cars is one of Zac's past times, and he worked on a Delorean and '65 Mustang convertible, both treasured hand-me-downs from his even-more-treasured grandfather. Zac's most prized possession is his autographed baseball collection. Like his favorite actors and idols Brad Pitt, Christian Bale, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Johnny Depp, Zac looks and hopes to have a long, successful career ahead of him!

The Nightfly
by Donald Fagen
Released: Jan 1982
Label: Reprise
The ex-Steely Dan perfectionist builds on a great concept, with an album that chronicles Fagen's teenage fantasies about his sci-fi life as a Manhattan sophisticate. The retro-futurism includes the globe hopping "I.G.Y.," the bomb-shelter romance of "New Frontier," and the Cuban intrigue of "The Goodbye Look." The existential jazz D.J. of the title tune almost serves as a guide to the album's narratives.

The sport boot comprises an upper and at least two reinforcing elements (21, 22) arranged medially and laterally in the area of the user's ankle. The lateral reinforcing element (22) extends higher along the ankle than does the medial reinforcing element (21). Advantageously, the lateral reinforcing element (22) is equipped with a flexibility-enhancing feature (27, 28) at its upper end.
1. A sport boot of the type comprising an upper and at least one lateral and one medial reinforcing element arranged in an area of an ankle of a user wherein said lateral reinforcing element extends higher along said ankle than does said medial reinforcing element and is fitted with flexibility-enhancing means at its upper end.
2. The sport boot according to claim 1, wherein the flexibility-enhancing means are constituted by at least one slot (27, 28) arranged in proximity to the upper end of the lateral reinforcing element.
3. The sport boot according to claim 2, wherein said at least one slot (27, 28) is substantially arc-shaped.
4. The sport boot according to claim 2, wherein said at least one slot (27, 28) substantially matches the contour of the upper edge.
5. The sport boot according to claim 1, wherein each reinforcing element is constituted by a substantially vertical plate made of a plastic material arranged medially and laterally on the upper.
6. The sport boot according to claim 1, wherein the at least two reinforcing elements form part of a single collar (20) enclosing the user's ankle.
7. The sport boot according to claim 1, wherein the collar (20) is mounted so as to be freely articulated on rigid parts of the upper.
8. A sport boot having an asymmetrical structure comprising an upper and at least one lateral and one medial reinforcing element arranged in an area of an ankle of a user, said lateral reinforcing element extending higher along said ankle than does said medial reinforcing element.
The invention concerns a sport boot of the type comprising a relatively rigid collar or upper portion enclosing the user's ankle at least partially, in order to increase the lateral stability of the ankle.
Boots of this kind are designed for sports requiring effective transmission to the foot of the forces generated by the user's leg, in order to obtain better traction, gripping of the ski edge, or enhanced momentum.
These sports include sliding sports such as skiing, cross-country skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding, in-line skating, etc., but also walking sports requiring that the foot be extended or the ankle bent in relation to the foot, for example, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, walking, hiking, etc.
In all of these cases, the forces generated by the user's leg are transmitted through the ankle to the foot. Accordingly, the ankle must be held laterally in position sufficiently to ensure the continuous transmission of information and stresses from the leg to the foot.
To meet this requirement, the boots designed for the practice of these sports are normally fitted with lateral reinforcing pieces in the upper portion surrounding the ankle.
Depending on the sport, moreover, these lateral reinforcing pieces are designed to permit or prevent movements of ankle flexion in relation to the foot, these movements occurring basically in the longitudinal direction of the foot.
Thus, FR 2 651 416 suggests fitting the upper of a sport boot with a rigid collar hinged on this upper. This collar provides excellent lateral position maintenance of the ankle, while ensuring excellent front-to-back mobility of the ankle in relation to the foot. A structure of this kind is, accordingly, particularly well suited to the practice of sports requiring front-to-back mobility of the ankle in relation to the foot, that is, walking, cross-country skiing, skating, etc.
In sports where this front-to-back mobility of the ankle in relation to the foot is not desired, the boot is generally manufactured as a shell made of a rigid material, normally a plastic, surmounted by a collar, a cuff, etc. made of one or several components and rigidly enclosing the ankle and/or lower leg of the user and being allowed only very restricted motion, or even no motion at all, in relation to the shell. These boots typically include alpine ski boots and some skating boots. Conventional practice also include reinforcing the portion enclosing the ankle of a boot only with reinforcing pieces arranged laterally and medially, that is, extending toward the outside and inside of the foot.
The invention is intended a provide a structure of a boot of the type comprising a relatively rigid collar or upper portion surrounding at least partially the user's ankle and making it possible to further increase the lateral stability of the user's ankle and the transmission of stresses and sensations from the leg to the foot, and vice-versa.
This goal is achieved in the sport boot according to the invention, which is of the type comprising an upper and at least two reinforcing elements arranged medially and laterally in the part corresponding to the wearer's ankle, by virtue of the fact that the lateral reinforcing element extends higher along the ankle does than the medial reinforcing part.
Paradoxically, although the need for ankle support is, in fact, sought on the medial side of the ankle, it has been found that such an arrangement improves substantially the transverse position-maintenance of the ankle.
This paradox can be explained by the fact that the reinforcing piece/leg contact surface is increased, in particular when edge-gripping or momentum-producing movements are effected, and that the proprioceptive movements generated during such movements are thus intensified.
As a result, information is transmitted upward more effectively, in particular spatial information regarding the relative position of the foot in relation to the leg, and, in consequence, the user can instinctively straighten out his foot again in relation to his ankle, thus gaining increased lateral stability of the ankle.
Advantageously, the lateral reinforcing portion is rendered more supple at its upper end so as not to cause discomfort to the user and in order to form only one additional mechanism for information transmission.
The invention will be better understood and other features will emerge by virtue of the following description provided with reference to the schematic drawings illustrating several embodiments by way of non-limiting examples, and in which:
FIG. 1 is a rear view of a boot according to the invention,
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the collar of the boot in FIG. 1,
FIG. 3 is a rear view of the collar in FIG. 2.
FIG. 1 illustrates a boot 10 for cross-country skiing 1 or skating fitted with a reinforcing structure according to the invention.
This boot 10 is constituted, in conventional fashion, by an upper 11 and a heel stiffener 12 and by a collar 20 hinged on the heel stiffener of the upper using two hinge pins 13.
The upper 11 may be a low-cut upper, that is, an upper whose rigid parts do not extend upward beyond the malleoli so as not to impede the movements of forward or rearward pivoting of the hinged collar 20. This structure is disclosed, for example, in FR 2 651 416.
The upper may also be a high-cut upper which, in consequence, restricts the pivoting motion of said collar 20.
Accordingly, as shown more especially in FIG. 2, the collar 20 is made of a relatively rigid plastic material, such as Pebax 4033 to 7033, and is constructed of two substantially vertically reinforcing elements 21, 22 arranged medially and laterally and of a substantially horizontal part 23 connecting the two elements 21, 22.
Each reinforcing element 21, 22 extends upward from a zone in which the hinge pins 13 are housed and which incorporates suitable holes 24, this zone being located substantially in the area where the foot is joined to the leg or below that area, to a zone corresponding substantially to the lower calf, so as to cover the entire ankle-articulation area.
Each reinforcing element 21, 22 is, moreover, fitted conventionally with anchoring/locking means 25, 26 used for a velcro/hook-type collar-tightening system 27.
As shown in the various figures, and, in particular, in FIG. 1, the reinforcing element 22, which is arranged laterally, that is, on the outside of the leg, extends higher along the user's ankle than does the reinforcing element 21 arranged medially, that is, on the inside of the leg.
The result is a larger surface area of contact between the collar and the leg on the outside of the leg, and, therefore, improved lateral position-maintenance of the ankle, in particular when the user executes gripping motions or digs in with the ski edge, as shown in FIG. 1.
Furthermore, the lateral reinforcing element 22 is equipped, in proximity to the upper edge thereof 29, with two superposed semi-circular slots 27, 28 which substantially match the contour of said upper edge 29. These two slots 27, 28 constitute means for enhancing the transverse flexibility of said lateral reinforcing element, thus enabling this element to "follow" the movement of the ankle when an outward force "F" is generated (see FIG. 1).
This structure makes possible the maintenance of close contact between the collar and the leg, without creating any hard spot or point of discomfort for the leg because of the height of the collar in this zone.
Of course, other means for enhancing the transverse flexibility of the upper edge 29 of the reinforcing element 22 could be provided, for example substantially vertical slots arranged in a fan shape in order to allow a fan-shaped opening effect of the collar, or a part made of an elastic material and arranged on this upper edge.
In addition, other embodiments of the reinforcing elements can be imagined, and these reinforcing elements could, for example, be constituted by simple vertical plates not connected by a horizontal element 23 and suitably fastened to the boot upper.
Similarly, the freedom of forward/rearward movement of the collar, for example for use in an alpine ski boot, could be eliminated while still remaining within the scope of the present invention.

Baker's Shortcut: 5 Reasons to Use Parchment Paper
If you don't have parchment paper at home (and I'm guessing many of you don't), you've likely seen it lining the trays at your favorite bakery. Moisture-resistant and grease-resistant, it really shouldn't be relegated to professional kitchens any longer. Home cooks and bakers need the stuff, too, for many reasons. Let's discuss why, shall we?
What Kind of Salad Servers Do You Use?
Reader Survey
Serving a green salad with grace and competence is actually a tricky thing to do. Success ultimately depends on how comfortable you are with your salad serving implements. The classic salad server set usually consists of one spoon-like and one fork-like implement, but these days there are a dizzying number of options to choose from, including spoon, fork, and flat implements as well as the short, chubby salad 'hands'. And for some, a pair of tongs or chopsticks is the only way to go.
Grilling Indoors? Why You Should Keep an Oiled Rag in the Freezer
Why is there a dirty rag in the freezer? was my first thought. I was cooking at work, so I knew who it belonged to: my co-worker Shanti, who is known for her ingenious solutions to common kitchen issues. You see, this isn't just any dirty rag. It is an indispensable tool we pull out every time we use the grill pan.

The Belkin Chef Stand for iPads and Tablets
Product Review
Item: The Belkin Chef Stand and Stylus for Tablets
Price: $39.99 at full price (Many sources, including Amazon, sell it for $21)
Overall Impression: An indispensable tool for using tablets like the iPad in the kitchen and for keeping them safely out of the way when cooking.
I had my iPad in the kitchen with me within hours of opening the box, and now I consider it a cooking tool just as essential as my KitchenAid mixer or my subscription to Fine Cooking. I usually prop my iPad on unused part of the counter, out of splashing distance but still within visual range, and use a mostly-clean knuckle to scroll through recipes when my fingers are sticky. This stand from Belkin has changed all that in one fell swoop.

I figured I would follow the current trend on the site of including bomb in the title of stuff. Plus hopefully this won't make people think it is a spam streaming thread since the title used to be just "College football!!".
So the first week of college football is drawing to an end with really only two ranked teams left to play, Louisville and Florida State. So what are your thoughts on this week of college football? Do you think the hype of Jadeveon Clowney affected his first game? Are you happy Boise State lost already so we won't have to hear the usual "Boise State is undefeated so should they play for the national title?" question at the end of the year? Maybe you have a new Heisman favorite, or like me you could be totally in love with new trash-talking Johnny Manziel. I hope to see him continue his trash-talk all season, but I've always been a huge fan of good trash-talkers.
Leave your thoughts of what you saw this week, or talk about your college's team performance. My team started off the season by losing to Texas State at home, and we have three straight games against actually teams so it is going to be another loooooooong season I suspect.

Charlotte's mother agency is MAX MODELS ( Netherlands/Rotterdam)
PR: What is your ethnic origin Charlotte?
CHARLOTTE: I am Dutch and was born in Weert, a small city in the south of Holland, close to Belgium and Germany.
ph.1. Sophia van der Hoek, ph. Ron Stam
CHARLOTTE: Approx 1.5 year ago I was scouted on internet but as I still go to school I only do jobs every now and then. I started with a few tests and after that was lucky to shoot an editorial for Celebrity magazine.
CHARLOTTE: I really, really enjoy modelling. I think it's great to work every now and then with adults, inspiring professionals who are all good at what they do. I love it to work in a team of grown ups, all trying to get the best result, to make the most perfect pictures. Perfect as in the closest to the original ideas of the client or the photographer. Everyone has his own speciality and does his utmost and all together you work for and hope for pictures that are magic, pictures that people look at more than once because they are special.
And the next day there's school again...
ph: Mark Groeneveld, style: Sophia van der Hoek
CHARLOTTE: For me it's really important to feel appreciated and understood by the people of my agency. I think you can only have a good and solid relationship when there is trust, understanding and having the same goals. It's important when Max Models (my agency) knows what my dreams and ultimate goals are and of course the other way around, it's important that I know what they think is good for me, and which road they see for me. Communication is the key-word here in my opinion, every now and than sitting around a table, looking at "where are we now, where do we wonna go to and how do we wanna get there".
I signed up with Max Models because the minute I got in there I felt at ease, appreciated and besides that it all looked very professional and I know they have a lot of experience in working with starting models as well as with topmodels.
ph: Anouk Morgan
CHARLOTTE: Since I've joined Max I have done a few tests and my boss (Gertjan Holleman) recently gave me some tips for other stretch-exercizing. Somewhere around february we've planned another get together to talk about the future, see if I really wanna work international and see if they still think I can work in other countries.
I was never told to loose weight or cut my hair by the way.
CHARLOTTE: I'm sure that whenever I need more guidance I will get it from Max. But I have learned a lot just by doing the job. With every shoot or show you work with different people, under different conditions, different wishes. I always try to learn from the people around me, they are the ones with experience, they know what they want and why they want it that way. And of course I pick up some things every now and then from other models.
I think when you're new you always must try to have an open eye/ear for advice and after that decide if you gonna follow that advice or maybe not. Just using common sense and an open mind will teach you a lot in my opinion.
ph: Anouk Morgan
CHARLOTTE: Once I have been told to cut my hair, the hairartist thought the length of my hair was to long and the length made it very difficult to work with. It was during the preparation of a test, the photographer didn't agree with her and when I asked my agency later they also told me that my hair was just fine.
A few times my hair was cut before a shoot but that was only a few inches.
ph: Jonathan Waiter
CHARLOTTE: I personally like to pose in motion, slow motion. For me, moving is all about getting into whatever the photographer wants me to be, getting into the spirit of the character he wants me to be. Moving that way helps me to get the right feeling and the right expressions.
But of course the photographer is the one who comes first, most important are his or her wishes. If he doesn't want me to move a lot I won't.
CHARLOTTE: I don't know yet, more than once I have been told that my face is as well beautiful as it is a little weird, edgy. I only hope that it's not a problem of being not enough commercial as well as not enough weird, to much of being in between. I would love doing more editorial.
ph: Jolijn Snijder, MUA Imke Zuidema
CHARLOTTE: I think my hair and my eyes, I can show a lot through my eyes.
CHARLOTTE: Pick a sport you like and drink a lot of water and tea.
PR: What make-up do you always wear?
CHARLOTTE: I don't wear that much make up, I use lipgloss of Biotherm and Lancome Amplicils mascara. Oh and I love the nailpolish Blue Satin from Chanel.
CHARLOTTE: My hair is like it is and doesn't require much special attention. Since I do sport every day I wash it at least once a day. I use whatever the shampoo and conditioner my mother has bought. Oh well, not entirely true, in the summer I sometimes use a shampoo for blondes. But that is pretty much it. And of course during the summer I often wear a hat beacuse of the sun, also to protect my skin.
ph: Anouk Morgan
CHARLOTTE: I sport every day, at least once a day. Not because I have to, but really because I like to. I play field hockey several times a week, just having fun with girlfriends but we're very fanatic at the same time. Have to be because we play in the first team of my city.
Besides that I visit the gym several times a week and I like to run.
ph: Anouk Morgan
CHARLOTTE: I don't know about others but I eat. However I always try to eat healthy and when I snack I always do that with vegetables and fruit. Fortunately I don't care that much for sweet so that's something I never eat. Every day I eat a lot of vegetables (cucumbers, tomatoes) and a lot of fruit.
PR: What is your favorite food?
CHARLOTTE: My favorite food is sushi or a huge Ceasar salad or grilled salmon with carrots.
ph: Anouk Morgan
CHARLOTTE: You mean in clothing?
PR: Yes.
CHARLOTTE: I really feel comfortable in skinny jeans with a tee and a jacket, wearing boots or very high heels(never something in between).
Ph: Dennis Veldman. Eva Koegenboeg, style. Kady Meyer, make-up. Yannis Kyriazos, hair.
PR: Do you already have a first modelling assignment?
CHARLOTTE: I have had an editorial of 6 pages in magazine Celebrity, a picture in Avant Garde, a picture with small interview in The Blend, a publication in Elle and there's an editorial of 8 pages in Yes with maybe the cover. I have done several shows at the Amsterdam Fashion Week.
I hope it's just the beginning of a lot more assignments.
CHALOTTE is with MAX MODELS (Holland).

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Somewhere along The Olympic Club's tight, twisting fairways, 17-year-old Beau Hossler went from thinking he could be the low amateur to believing he could win the whole tournament.
Apparently he wasn't the only one.
Tiger Woods' agent approached Hossler's dad outside the scorer's room late Saturday afternoon, shook his hand and said, "This is unbelievable. He can win this thing."
Ten minutes later, after signing for an even-par 70 that left him tied for eighth _ four shots off the lead _ in the U.S. Open, he reiterated that sentiment.
"Absolutely," said Hossler, who earned a standing ovation from spectators above the historic 18th green. "There's not a doubt in my mind. Got to go out there and do everything right mentally and physically. But it's definitely out there for me."
He had a 3-over 213 total, a shot better than 14-time major winner Woods and five better than idol Phil Mickelson. Jim Furyk and Graeme McDowell shared the lead at 1-under 209.
While fans would serenade Mickelson with a chorus of "Happy Birthday" when he finished No. 18, they gave the kid in braces a standing ovation, shouting "Hook `Em Hossler" for his commitment to play at Texas in 2013
"I turned to him and said, `How good is this?' Just enjoy it," said caddie Bill Schellenberg, Hossler's godfather. "He just looked at me with a huge smile."
Hossler already has made history _ becoming the first since Mason Rudolph in 1950-51 to qualify for consecutive U.S. Opens as a high school player.
But a Sunday victory would make him one of only six amateurs to win a U.S. Open _ putting him in the company of Francis Ouimet and Bobby Jones, who did it four times.
Hossler couldn't name an exact moment when his goals changed.
But being able to battle back from every bogey he posted Saturday surely had something to do with it.
"I backed them all up with a birdie," Hossler said matter-of-factly.
Schellenberg, who kept Hossler loose by cracking jokes, wasn't surprised.
"He has really good resolve. The kid doesn't quit. It's just awesome," Schellenberg said. "He has an unbelievable ability to get upset, get it out and get it over with and get onto the next shot. I don't know what it looked like, but he and I were having a grand time."

Just look at the startling contrast between the two superstars' lines during the fourth quarter of the Mavericks' 107-101 loss Sunday night that further damaged Dallas' dim playoff hopes. Durant went 7-of-11 from the floor in the final frame, torching the Mavs for 19 of his 31 points. Nowitzki was held to four points – all on free throws, not even attempting a field goal attempt – despite being 8-of-10 from the floor in the first three quarters.

Soil – It's not just Dirt – Note: This is a 3MB document, it may take a while to open depending on your internet connection speed.
Kentucky Conservation Districts are Special Purpose Goverment Entities, organized under Kentucky Revised Statute 262. Conservation Districts are responsible for protecting our soil, water and other natural resources and are governed by the Kentucky Soil and Water Commission through the Kentucky Division of Conservation.
The Boone County Conservation District was established in 1942 following a referendum of the citizens of the county. Seven locally elected officials, who serve a four-year term without pay, govern the Conservation District.
The Conservation District makes technical and financial help available to reduce soil erosion, prevent water pollution, and maintain and improve the quality and productivity of our farmlands, forests, and other natural resources. Assistance is available to everyone in dealing with natural resources issues, including farmers, homeowners, businesses, schools, organizations, agencies, cities and local governments
