Every Tuesday, UK Athletics recognizes outstanding performances for our student-athletes. These are the honorees for the week ending Sunday, March 3:
Softball: Lauren Cumbess
Junior pitcher/infielder Lauren Cumbess had an outstanding week in the circle, going 2-0 with a 0.58 ERA. Cumbess pitched against USF, which is receiving votes and went to the 2012 Women's College World Series, and Central Michigan. The native of Normal, Ill., came on in the fifth inning against USF and threw five hitless innings, striking out four and retiring 15 of the 16 batters she faced. She was also impressive against CMU, allowing an earned run in the first inning on two hits, but only one hit the remainder of the game. After giving up the run against CMU, Cumbess retired 18 of the next 20 batters she faced, including six by strikeout. For the season, Cumbess is 4-1 with a 2.39 ERA, throwing 38 innings with 36 strikeouts and only 13 earned runs allowed. The two-way player has also hit well this season, leading the team with a .373 average on top of 22 hits, four doubles, two homers and a team-high 18 RBI.
Softball: Kara Dill
Senior Kara Dill ended the tournament on a three-game hitting streak after her impressive 3-for-3 performance in UK's win over Western Michigan. Dill had two singles and a triple against the Broncos, while scoring three runs and stealing base. The native of LaGrange, Ohio, played solid defense on the weekend as well, making several nice plays in the field. Dill has hit leadoff in every game but one this season, leading UK in hits and runs scored with a strong on-base percentage of .403. Dill is hitting .358 for the season with four stolen bases and six multi-hit games.
Baseball: Greg Fettes

Went a career-high 3-for-4 with two RBI and a double in the win over Akron ... On the year, Fettes - a 43rd round pick of the Detroit Tigers out of high school - has hit .750 (6-for-8) with two doubles and three RBI.

Softball: Kelsey Nunley
Kelsey Nunley did not have the best week statistically in the circle, but provided clutch innings for Kentucky and got key outs that should propel UK into SEC play. The freshman went 3-0 overall with a 1.94 ERA in 21.2 innings with 18 strikeouts. Nunley started the first game of the tournament against Illinois, allowing two earned runs, while striking out five and only walking one over eight innings of play. After giving up three runs on three hits and three walks in the first inning vs. LMU, Nunley settled down to throw six scoreless innings the rest of the way, retiring 14 straight to end the game. The native of Soddy Daisy, Tenn., came on in relief against Western Michigan, getting the final two outs of the first inning with the bases loaded, keeping the game tied before going the final 6.2 innings against WMU, allowing four hits and one earned run while striking out eight - just one off her career high, Overall this season, Nunley is 10-0 - believed to be the only player in school history to start a season 10-0 in the circle - with a team-low 2.16 ERA, throwing 68.0 innings, allowing 21 earned runs with a team-best 55 strikeouts.

Next Move for Dynamo: Calling Montreal's Bluff
So much for a quiet Thanksgiving!

No Rest for Dynamo As Expansion Draft Beckons
The Houston Dynamo put up a valiant effort, but fell 1-0 last night in the MLS Cup to the LA Galaxy. While Houston heart and team defending kept the score tight, too many injuries and too much LA firepower cost the Dynamo a chance for their third title. It may be easy to get muddled down in a series of What […] [Read More]
Throw out the Statistics
Statistically speaking, the Houston Dynamo do not have much of a chance Sunday. LA has not lost a single game all year in all competitions at home. The Galaxy salary is five times that of the Dynamo.

Kinnear/Arena Face Difficult Choices in Replacing Davis/Barrett

If Dominic Kinnear could have scripted the game before hand, he would have been hard pressed to compose a better outcome than Thursday night's 1-0 victory over the Union.

By JAY COHEN
(AP) HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. - Maggie Lucas and Penn State used the Big Ten's most potent offense to win the conference title for the second straight season.
Lucas showed up on Saturday, but the rest of the offense was gone.
The eighth-ranked Lady Lions shot 22 percent in a 54-46 loss to Michigan State in the semifinals of the conference tournament.
"We didn't shoot the ball well at all," coach Coquese Washington said. "They shot the ball much better than we did. We had too many stretches where we got pretty decent looks that didn't go down."
Lucas, the conference player of the year, had 23 points and nine rebounds, but none of her teammates scored in double figures.
"They played good defense," said Alex Bentley, who was 3 for 15 from the field. "They tried to stop us from getting in the lane. They forced us to go into the baseline. We just couldn't get our offense going."
Jasmine Thomas scored 14 of her 19 points in the second half and Becca Mills added 16 points for Michigan State (24-7), which will play Purdue in the Sunday's title game. Jasmine Hines had 14 rebounds, helping the Spartans to a 52-38 edge on the glass.
Michigan State allowed just 51.4 points per game during the regular season, tops in the Big Ten. It was the lowest scoring total and shooting percentage this year for Penn State, which rolled to two convincing victories over the Spartans this season.
"We rely on our defense," Michigan State coach Suzy Merchant said, "so to see our defense come to fruition tonight, I'm very, very proud of them and feel good about the win."
Penn State (25-5) won the regular-season championship and lost in the tournament semifinals for the second straight year. The Lady Lions fell 68-66 against eventual champion Purdue in 2012.
"You look at this game, it's an anomaly," Washington said. "It might be the worst shooting game we've had all season. And again, credit Michigan State, but this isn't who we are."
Penn State led 21-17 early in the second half before the Spartans responded with a 15-3 run. Mills made a 3-pointer before Courtney Schiffauer converted a layup to give Michigan State its first lead of the game. Mills tacked on two more jumpers and Thomas' basket made it 32-24 with 10:54 remaining.
The Lady Lions then turned to Lucas, who made consecutive 3-pointers to trim Michigan State's lead to one. Penn State had a couple of chances to move in front, but Bentley missed a jumper and Mia Nickson was off on a layup attempt.
That provided an opening for the Spartans, who put the game away with a 10-0 burst. Thomas' layup made it 44-33 with 4:08 left, leading to a celebration on Michigan State's sideline and a timeout by Penn State.
"You can't look past it. You can't look past a loss," Bentley said. "We take what we learned from this game and we learn from it and we get better and we use that to move forward."
Penn State got off to a fast start then struggled to score in an ugly first half that featured more turnovers (14) than field goals (11).
Tori Waldner converted a layup with 12:41 to go to give the Lady Lions a 16-5 lead _ but that was their last basket of the period.
Penn State staggered into the break with a 19-17 lead despite shooting 20 percent (6 for 30) and losing 28-21 in the rebounding battle. That's because Michigan State was even worse, shooting 18.5 percent (5 for 27) and committing nine turnovers.
Led by Thomas, the Spartans eventually calmed down and shot 60 percent (15 for 25) in the second half for their first victory against a top-10 team this season.
"It's a 40-minute game and Penn State is the type of team that can get going instantly," Thomas said. "There's no time to celebrate, you've got to stay in the game, stay in the moment."

If Neils Miller doesn't have a statue in Appleton, Wisconsin, he should. You'll be hard pressed to find someone who has had a larger impact on the welding industry than Mr. Miller. Back in 1929, he saw a need for a small, affordable arc welder that would operate on the type of electricity readily available in rural Wisconsin. Using American ingenuity, he cobbled together scrap metal, core and coil materials and hammered out that first welder in his basement. Six short years later, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. produced an industry-changing industrial welder and the rest is history.
Throughout the 40's, Miller's machines powered war efforts in the shipyards and defense plants. In the 50's, Miller played a key role in the construction of most major planes, jets, fighters and missiles. Companies like Boeing, Cessna, Lockheed, Douglas all used Miller machines in their factories. The 1970's brought the introduction of the Millermatic machines; the first power source with a built-in wire feeder.
Today, Miller Electric continues their dominance in the marketplace with machines like the Millermatic 211 and the Dynasty 200 DX, Auto-darkening welding helmets, and the Diversion 180 AC/DC TIG Welder. Miller's full line of welding machines and welding accessories give their loyal customers plenty of reasons to "Bleed Blue."

Fuzzy's Taco Shop Coming to Webster Groves
Categories: Restaurant News & Reviews, Restaurant Roll Call
Franchisee Scott Bonner tells Gut Check that the opening of the restaurant is about a month away.
Fuzzy's opened as a standalone restaurant in Fort Worth at the beginning of last decade. In 2003, father-son team Alan and Chuck Bush purchased Fuzzy's and, over the ensuing years, expanded it to locations in nine states, with two more states, including Missouri, soon to follow.
"We'll be a fast-casual type" restaurant, says Bonner, serving "Baja-Mexican food."
"We specialize in fish tacos, our big claim to fame," Bonner adds.
(You can view the entire menu on Fuzzy's official website.)
Fuzzy's will serve margaritas as well as ten to fourteen draft beers. The St. Louis location has a Facebook page, though at the moment it has only bare-bones info. A Fort Worth Star-Telegram article from this summer presents a comprehensive history of Fuzzy's.

You could see this one coming down Sepulveda, ever since the Senate started doing carve-outs for individual unions to exempt them from the excise tax:
Unions tentatively struck a deal Tuesday to exempt collectively bargained healthcare plans from a tax on high-cost plans expected to be used to help raise revenue for the healthcare overhaul.
On the one hand, it's the job of the unions to look out for their members. With the White House heavily promoting the Cadillac tax since the minute they got into office, it was going to be exceptionally difficult to beat the excise tax back.
But the reason that so many supported Richard Trumka's tough stance ("We won't support the bill if it doesn't have a public option in it") was because they were deeply affected by the outcome of the health care bill, whether they were in a union or not, and they rallied around his leadership. Without that broad support of the public cheering them on, they would not have had the ability to move the White House at all.
Jon Walker and I were talking about this at lunch today. He started calling the excise tax the "teacher's tax," because it affects companies that hire older workers. "If you hire 28 year-olds to make snowboards you can have boob jobs and dental and whatever you want in your plan and you'll never hit the cap," he says. "But if you've got a bunch of middle aged diabetic women working for you, you'll barely be able to find junk insurance. It's pure age and sex discrimination."
All the aggro coming from members of Congress today about the health care bill is due to the fact that the natural financial constituency of the left is the liberal interest groups, and the unions are the most financially powerful. When they want to shake things up, they can do it. Expect that when the unions settle for toenail clippings in the health care bill for the promise of an EFCA vote that will never happen, most of that "aggro" will disappear.
But the day of reckoning for the unions is fast arriving, too. They're already under tremendous pressure from their locals and members to demand more on health care, and they're being pacified by promises of an impending EFCA victory — but only just. That dam isn't going to hold much longer, and now that the unions have decided to jump in a bunker in an "every man for himself" crouch I don't forsee much of a public outcry if they don't get one.

Body Count ~ Ruggero Deodato
English audio option.
I have never seen this, but I read it's not that good. Still I'm interested. I have a few Deodato movies and quite like them.
Will keep an eye on this.
Ruggero Deodato directing a film with David Hess and Mimsy Farmer should be a sure recipe for an enjoyable exploitation movie, but unfortunately, it isn't as good as one could have hoped. Overall, it feels like a tired retread of better movies made earlier in the decade, but there are a couple of interesting scenes, and the young cast is mostly attractive. I'd recommend it to diehard slasher completists or anyone with a taste for cheesy 80's horror.
I had to resort to YouTube to see it a few years back. I loved it.
For a Deodato film, if you're expecting something with the impact of Cannibal Holocaust or House At The Edge Of The Park, then you're going to be disappointed. But if you're looking for a simple late '80s teens-in-the-woods slasher flick, then it's a heck of a lot of fun. If you enjoyed flicks like Cheerleader Camp or Moonstalker, then you'll probably enjoy it.
I'm surprised it has never been released in the U.S. at all! A DVD is long overdue.
I liked it too. Have a bootleg of sorts. Definitely deserves some kind of US official DVD release. Is it the best slasher, no, but it's follows the same campy woodsy formula that would appeal to most of us.
Wow. I have the local DVD released ages ago and I thought this movie was extraordinarily dull. No other word for it. The characters just stumble about until they die or the movie ends. Their "friends" get killed and they go on with their weekend like nothing's happened!! :confused:
Even the latter F13 films are better than this snoozefest! I liked Simonetti's score, but that's about it.
But I do have a very low tolerance for 'boring' slasher films. :D
I like the film. It's not great, but if you like most 80's slashers you'll probably enjoy it.
I do own the OOP R 4 DVD from Australia which is uncut.
I've got the German E-M-S DVD released in 2001. I don't think it's cut, but I'm not 100% sure as i have nothing else to compare it to. The movie is a bit slow, but the Claudio Simonetti score is pretty good. You gotta see it if you're a fan of Deodato, Italian horror, or slasher films!
Here are comparisons between the DVD releases: http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=3076
It looks like the E-M-S DVD is also uncut. It's the UK DVD which is cut.
The version I saw on YouTube was definitely a cut version. It's weird because in the trailer, you can actually see the guy's fingers getting cut off. But in the movie, it isn't shown at all. Seems strange that it's okay for the trailer, but not the movie.
I'd be curious to check out the uncut version. Are any of the DVDs out there in widescreen?
I saw it on YouTube. Normally nudity is edited out, but some slip by. Body Count was one of them. It was from a VHS rip I would assume, and at one point audio sounds like super slow motion. It went on for several minutes, but doesn't seem like I missed anything major.
Overall it was just ok. Not great, but not the worst, I'd rate it about 3 out of 5 maybe a 2.5
Someone mentioned in another thread that the Italian DVD is uncut and widescreen!
Anyone have this disc? Tell me more.
Extra features? Region free? Screencaps?

A few months back I came across the website Kollabora. It was started by a few people involved with BurdaStyle and has a similar online community vibe for crafters/sewers/knitters. I'm still not sure how much I like it as a resource, but when I came across one of the skirts I knew I had to buy the fabric and make something similar (for skirt click here).
I ordered the fabric online from Mood and I had expected the navy and white to come from the woven nature of the fabric. I was surprised to learn that the woven/wintery look is actually screen printed onto a navy fabric which is hard to tell even in the pictures I posted, which is why I called it the 'fake' woven skirt. Either way, the fabric is still beautiful and and very soft.
I didn't want to completely copy the Kollabora skirt so I chose a slightly different pattern – a (very easy) wrap skirt from Vogue Pattern 8835.
I whipped up this skirt in just one night! The pattern was really easy to follow and I didn't have to change the sizing at all and it fit dead on. The hardest part was matching up the patterns at all the side seams but I managed it pretty well I think.
The only part that I don't love is the yoke…it tends to stick out at the junction with the skirt – maybe I didn't trim the seam allowance enough?
In this picture you can see what the back of the fabric looks like and where the wrap comes around to in the front.
The back of the skirt.
Sorry, no pictures of me wearing it yet. I think it is a tad too long as it goes past my knees and I think my mom described it well when she said it would look 'matronly', which is does. I think I'll raise the hem line a bit before I wear it again.
Overall I really like it and can see myself using the pattern again. Unfortunately, I have a bunch of this fabric leftover but not much on the selvage where the pretty elaborations of the pattern fall. I'll keep it in my stash until I can think of something to do with it!

Leaf was an American trading card manufacturing company which released the very first trading card set, Star Trek, in 1967. The set was only released on a limited scale due to the company's small distribution area (Ohio and Illinois), and was quickly recalled as a result of licensing issues. As such, it is extremely rare.

I'm not current on development for the Mac, but I've heard that multiple processes can't share a single window in OS/X.
Do you happen to know how Chrome works around this, or is this not an actual limitation?
I'm not a mac dev and what i'm posting here is gleaned from several svn log entries. So it might be wrong and inaccurate
What is happening here is that OS-X expects the additional processes to respond to UI events and since they don't mark them as "Not Responding". Two solutions have been proposed
1. have dummy code which responds to UI events to keep OS-X happy
2. Rip out the Cocoa code from the additional processes which will make OS-X not expect the process to respond to UI events.

Healthy habits: Change your eating habits to become heart healthy
The American Heart Association (AHA) says people face many challenges to adopting healthier eating behaviors. For some, it's the perceived time that it takes to cook. Some people don't like the taste of certain foods. Others don't like anything they might consider "diet food" or can't imagine eating that way for the rest of their lives. They feel deprived if they can't eat anything "good," "salty" or "sweet."
The key to enjoying healthier foods is retraining your palate. Most people have developed certain eating patterns over time due to culture, where they live, time constraints, or budget restrictions. As a result, we have conditioned our taste buds to be stimulated by certain types of foods or cooking methods. Did you know that fat, salt and sugar can alter the tongue's ability to detect certain flavors? Fat coats the taste buds and can block them from perceiving flavors. Excess salt and sugars can have a numbing effect.
Here are some tips from the American Heart Association about changing your diet.
n Avoid all deep fried food (deep fried foods are high in unhealthy fats)
n Eat fresh fruits and vegetables when they're in season
n Avoid canned foods when possible (most canned foods contain excess salt)
n Prepare meals by grilling, roasting or slow cooking
Once you start using new cooking techniques and eating foods in season, your body will adjust and begin to crave these changes. You'll also find you become more easily satisfied with smaller portions. It takes time to learn new habits, but remember this is an investment that only gives positive returns including the following:
n Healthy weight
n More energy
n Restful sleep
n Reduced risks for heart-related illnesses

I'm a sucker for new yarns. I've been crocheting since I was eight and knitting since high school, and I've realized that sometimes I get myself into a rut: making the same patterns over and over again, using the same yarn or colors, or not stopping to learn new techniques. Each time I see a new yarn make its way into the department, it's a new opportunity for me to pet something new and dream up different projects. Our newest yarn, Heartland was no exception. I sat down on the floor in front of all of the colors on Friday afternoon, just before my lunch break, and snagged two skeins that looked too precious to pass up: Great Smoky Mountains, which is a gorgeous multi-dimensional tweedy charcoal gray, and Denali, a pale, heathery pink. Of course, anybody who knows me at all knows that pink is my go-to color for almost everything, but I decided that, for whichever project I chose, I'd let the gray do most of the talking. How could I not? With all those different shades in there, it seemed like it had a lot to say–you know, visually. I only talk to my yarn when nobody else is around.

Yarn crafting is a great way to feel one with nature–creating something from scratch in a peaceful environment, instead of fighting mall crowds to pick up that mass-produced sweater, is one of the purest activities of them all. This is true no matter what fiber you've decided to use, but especially so with all-natural fibers. In our final ode to Earth Month, I want to tell you a little bit about two of our all-natural, organic yarns.
LB Collection Organic Wool is one of our affordable luxury fibers, and comes in five rich and beautiful tones to create stunning hand-knits. This worsted-weight yarn is a great choice for fall sweaters and bold felted projects. Not only is the fiber 100% organically produced, it is also dyed with low-impact dyes, and has been certified according to Global Organic Textiles Standards by the Institute of Marketecology. When you're ready to get knitting or crocheting, we have 20 patterns designed specifically for this yarn listed on LionBrand.com. Click here to see pattern inspiration for Organic Wool.

Each season we host a crochet- or knit-along, a virtual event in which yarncrafters come together here online to work on one pattern together, share their experiences, and to learn together. There's no need to sign up! Simply follow along with the blog posts at your own pace as you knit your project, and feel free to share your comments and/or photos as you progress.
We asked you to vote on what knit project you'd like to make, and you picked our Tranquil Green Tank Top! More than 6,000 of you voted, and we're so excited to knit-along with you.
Click here to download the pattern for the Tranquil Tank Top.
To get this knit-along going, this week is about gathering your materials so that we can jump right in next week. This lovely tank top is made in our Vanna's Choice yarn, a versatile, easy-care, acrylic worsted-weight yarn that comes in a huge assortment of stunning colors. If you're more in the mood for a cotton blend, Cotton-Ease is a great substitute, and will be light and lovely as the temperatures get warmer. You can also opt for the eco-friendly choice and knit your top in Recycled Cotton, which is a blend of new and recycled materials.
As with any yarn substitution, you'll also need to figure out how many skeins of the yarn of your choice the pattern will require. Here are the number of balls for our other recommended yarns:
|Vanna's Choice
|4 skeins
|4 skeins
|5 skeins
|4 skeins
|4 skeins
|5 skeins
|Recycled Cotton
|4 skeins
|4 skeins
|5 skeins

When choosing a size, sometimes it helps to find a top that you like the fit of and measure this garment to help you choose a size.
Starting next week, our KAL host Heather will be posting her progress through the tank top project, with updates coming every Thursday. You'll know it's a dedicated KAL blog post when you see our special badge in the upper right-hand corner of the post. Don't forget to join our Ravelry group for this KAL as well!
In the meantime, please introduce yourself below–let us know who you are, where you're from, and who you're making this top for!

Our hugely popular yarn, Fettuccini, is finally back in stock after blowing off the shelves and selling out several weeks ago. And just in time! Earth Day may have been yesterday, but all of April is Earth Month, and every day is a great opportunity to be eco-friendly. As many Fettuccini enthusiasts already know, this unique yarn is made with remnants of jersey fabric used to create garments. The remnants would otherwise be discarded, so we're thrilled to breathe a little new life into this special fiber. In honor of its (re-)arrival, I've rounded up a handful of the great items you can knit, crochet or craft with this yarn. Click here to learn more about Fettuccini, browse colors and place your order today!

Earth Day is less than a week away, and that means sustainability, eco-friendliness, and recycling is at the forefront of many people's minds. While crafting is by definition the creation of something new, there's no reason not to be sustainable while doing so! Lion Brand has an array of different fibers that are eco-friendly, whether that means all-natural, organic fibers or recycled materials. I'll be featuring all of these great green products over the next week. Today, let's take a look at Recycled Cotton! This worsted weight blend is made with 72% recycled cotton that is sorted by color to minimize the amount of dye needed to churn out the finished product. The cotton comes from leftover fabric from the production of tee shirts that would otherwise be discarded, much like our Zpagetti yarn. Ready to get started? Here's a round up of my top ten favorite patterns using Recycled Cotton.

The beginning of April means the start to a lot of things: spring blooms, warmer weather, and longer days. But as any sports fan knows, the first week of April means one thing: Major League Baseball's Opening Day. Want to show your support for your favorite team? I've compiled a palette of colors for all 32 MLB teams in one of my favorite team-spirit yarns, Hometown USA. Not only is it soft and bulky so that projects will work up in a few evenings by the fire, it also comes in every bold color you can think of to support your favorite teams and schools.
I was lucky enough to attend the New York Mets Opening Day on Monday afternoon, and I brought the Mets-inspired blanket I'm knitting in Hometown USA along, using this color palette below!

Posted in Crocheting, Knitting, Yarns | 3 Comments » Comments
As you've seen over the last four weeks, there is a ton that can be done with crochet. You never have to make the same style twice with all the possibilities crochet offers! Last week, we talked about textured crochet, which is often a thick, bulky style that evokes images of sitting by a ski lodge fireplace. Though it might be hard to believe in the still-frozen Northeast, the winter is finally beginning to thaw, and in anticipation of springtime, I'm going to take you to the opposite end of the spectrum today and talk about lace.
Crocheted lace is a wide-ranging topic. Some people think anything that has enough openwork and thin enough yarn or thread counts as lace, while others see it only as tatted thread.
Today, I want to give you a brief introduction to four common types of crocheted lace: broomstick lace, filet crochet, hairpin lace, and Solomon's Knot.
Broomstick Lace gets its name from the original tools used to create it back in the 1800s. While now crafters often use large knitting needles, like our size 50 Speed Stix, the craft began by utilizing the long, narrow top of the broomstick, along with a crochet hook. It is also known as "jiffy lace" or "peacock eye crochet" because of how speedily it works up and the texture it creates. For a detailed tutorial on broomstick lace, click here.
The lacy yet structured material this stitch creates makes it ideal for springtime blankets and shawls or unique lightweight garments. This Broomstick Lace Shell, made with LB Collection Cashmere, is a perfect project to practice your technique and create a unique garment to wear as the weather gets warmer.

Monday (Sept. 2) is Labor Day – the day set aside in both the U.S. and Canada to celebrate workers. It has its roots in the labor union movement. The first Labor Day parade was Sept. 5, 1882 in New York City, organized by the Central Labor Union. Some 10,000 workers paraded around Union Square.
The idea spread across the county and many state legislatures passed bills making it a legal holiday. In 1894, Congress enacted legislation making the first Monday of September the official Labor Day.
While the legislation was signed by President Grover Cleveland, history notes that he signed it to help mitigate the criticism he was getting for sending troops to break up a strike, resulting in 13 dead strikers and more than 50 wounded.
Over time Labor Day parades in the U.S. and big celebrations have given way to the "just-another day-off" mentality and the last weekend of summer.
In Juneau, the Central Labor Council sponsors a community Labor Day picnic at Sandy Beach from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

What is the resolution of the "Gift of the Magi?"
1 Answer | Add Yours
This a great question. The resolution of the short story, "Gift of the Magi," is when both main characters learn that the greatest gift is to give what they possess to one another in view of love. It is the paradox of getting when giving. Let me explain.
In the story, the two main characters sell their most prized possessions to give to each other something for Christmas. Della cuts and sells her hair to buy Jim, her husband, a chain for his watch. Jim sells his watch to buy Della combs for her hair. In light of this, they both seek to outdo one another in love.
As you can tell, in the end both have gifts that they cannot use. Della does not need combs and Jim no longer needs a chain for his watch. However, O. Henry calls them wise, because they love sacrificially.

August 2, 2015
EASTON, Pa. (AP) - A man convicted of a triple murder in eastern Pennsylvania that authorities called a "gangland hit" has been sentenced to life in prison without parole after jurors deadlocked over whether he should be put to death.
Twenty-two-year-old Ali Elijah Davis of Freemansburg was sentenced Wednesday. He was convicted Monday in the November 2007 deaths of 19-year-old Aleah Hamlin, 23-year-old Chanel Armour and 21-year-old Alphe Rene.
Authorities say Rene was targeted in retaliation for earlier killings in New Jersey.
Defense attorney Brian Monahan pointed to his client's age, background and lack of a significant prior record. The jury foreman told the judge that equal numbers of jurors supported each punishment, and at least one for each side could not be swayed.

Proposals to close Penzance's Poltair Hospital backed
Posted: January 31, 2014|
PROPOSALS to close Poltair Hospital in Penzance have been backed by the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust (RCHT) board.
Poltair, along with Cornwall's other cottage hospitals, has been run by private company PCH since autumn 2011. However, in that time it has shut the in-patient beds at Poltair four times, with the latest closure ongoing since October 2012.
Poltair staff see up to 50 outpatients a day, but inpatient services ended in 2012 following staff shortages.
RCHT managers want outpatient clinics and staff moved to West Cornwall Hospital and other sites in Penzance to "integrate" services.
A public consultation is being carried out until February and a final decision is due later this year.

Pineapple Sorbet
So anyways, last night I was determined to do something right with this sweet new appliance. I froze the bowl over night and decided to try Pineapple sorbet. I used frozen pineapple from Trader Joe's so it was nice and cold before going into the mixer even. I'm sure canned pineapple (or fresh) would work too but would take longer to freeze. The resulting sorbet was flavorful, fresh, and so pretty. Finally. You can see my assistant couldn't hardly keep his hands off it for the photos. Let's just say, I'm going to try and clear a spot in the freezer and I'll be making this again. And please let me know if you have some amazing ice cream recipes!
Frozen Pineapple Sorbet
by Anne Strawberry
1 lb Frozen Pineapple Chunks
1/2 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Light Corn Syrup
6 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
1/3 Cup Water
Combine all ingredients in food processor with metal blade and pulse until smooth. Pour into freezer bowl of ice cream maker and churn until thick. Eat immediately or allow two hours in the freezer to harden sorbet.

I just got my ice cream maker too...my first try was ginger gelato and it turned out awesome, my second was vanilla ice cream but I don't think it came out the way it was supposed to. Is it possible to overchurn? It kinda fell apart when it froze.
I like the sound of this pineapple sorbet! Yum! I'll have to try this!

I am glad that it worked out for you in the end. I would just store the bowl in the freezer so it is always frozen solid. If you have the room. A second bowl is also helpful.
I remember having the not-frozen-enough bowl experiences when I first got mine, now I only use it if it has been in the freezer overnight.
I wish you much good in your future ice cream making!

AFTER SILENCING A NOISY congregation by striking a bowl gong three times, David Marks, a large middle-aged man with a long ponytail, welcomed us to St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. He then turned to ask Pastor Jim Rigby, "We are still Presbyterian, aren't we?" The question drew a laugh, but not because it was absurd. One of the most openly liberal churches in Austin, St. Andrew's was locked in a struggle for its Presbyterian life as a result of such offenses as hosting non-Presbyterian theologians and, more famously, for extending full membership to the controversial University of Texas journalism professor Robert Jensen, an acknowledged atheist and unsparing critic of the Bush administration.
In an op-ed piece that the Houston Chronicle published on September 14, 2001, Jensen argued that the terrorist attacks of 9/11 were no worse than "the massive acts of terrorism—the deliberate killing of civilians for political purposes—that the U.S. government has committed during my lifetime." That assertion triggered a firestorm of criticism and serious attempts to rescind his tenure at UT. But Jensen, who joined the church in 2005, did not come to St. Andrew's in search of protective cover. On the contrary. In an article posted on the church's Web site, he explained that he came in search of a moral and political community that might serve as a counterforce to "a sophisticated system of domination achieved through the unholy alliance of a powerful state and predatory corporate capitalism." He told the congregation that he did not accept the divinity of Jesus, but he did endorse the core principles in
Jesus' teaching and pledged to be a responsible member if they would have him. That was enough for the folk at St. Andrew's.
It was too much for some members of the Mission Presbytery, which governs Presbyterian churches in South and Central Texas. In June 2006 Presbytery delegates instructed St. Andrew's to remove Jensen from its roll. The church appealed the decision to its regional body, the Synod of the Sun, and at the time of my visit was awaiting a ruling that could result in its expulsion from the denomination and seizure of its facilities.
St. Andrew's describes itself as "an inclusive, progressive church" whose members approach God through the life and teachings of Jesus but "recognize the faithfulness of other people who have other names for the way to God's realm, and acknowledge that their ways are true for them, as our ways are true for us." An invitation printed in the church bulletin explicitly welcomes "believers and agnostics, conventional Christians and questioning skeptics, women and men, those of all sexual orientations and gender identities, those of all races and cultures, those of all classes and abilities, those who hope for a better world and those who have lost hope."
Signs of this progressive orientation were abundant, from a simple banner outside the building proclaiming "Torture Is Wrong" to a broad, sloping lawn filled with crosses, Stars of David, and rainbow cutouts memorializing people who had died of AIDS. The congregants themselves were mostly dressed in " NPR casual," and 150 of them occupied about half the chairs in the octagonal concrete-floored sanctuary. They seemed pleased to be in one another's company and welcomed a man whose remarkably grizzled appearance removed the surprise from his self-identification as homeless.
After the call to worship and other preliminaries came "Time With the Children," featuring Mr. Monkey and the St. Andrew's Puppets, with Marks and Rigby serving as reverend puppeteers. Marks first asked the children what costumes they would be wearing for Halloween, responding positively to each report. The puppet ministers then began holding conversations with Mr. Monkey and his colleagues. Obviously familiar with the cast, the children quickly recognized that the voices they heard did not match the puppets they saw. The ministers then removed the outer puppets to reveal smaller ones concealed inside. The lesson: We cannot and should not judge people by their outward appearance. I found this a refreshing contrast to the trend in recent years for some churches to denounce Halloween as a sinful celebration of the demonic. Of my childhood friends, nearly all of whom donned costumes and went trick-or-treating, only a handful are still active devil worshippers.
Given the church's reputation and ambience, Rigby's sermon did not surprise me, but it did make clear why more-traditional Presbyterians might think he has strayed from the theology of the Westminster Confession of Faith. Noting that Luther

I know I haven't been active on the ol' Garter lately – too much other work, mainly writing for Science not Fiction and my day job. But since SNF is about technology anyway, here's a quick linkeroo to the work I've been doing over there, mostly about the new Knight Rider, cause, hey, that's what I've been assigned. Coming soon, updates on the MPA process.
• KITT has a 3-D printer right in the car. I know, I know, I've done 3-D printing before, but his had a laser.
• KITT can identify faces from pictures. That may seem like nothing, but facial recognition is actually wicked hard for computers, though clearly less so for computers.
• KITT goes underwater. Miriam says she's seen the video of the real life submarine car before, but did you know you could get a personal submarine for $82,000? You know you want one.
By the way, part of my brief is to avoid disproving impossible stuff. It's just too easy.
