Volusia County Sheriff's Office honors DeLeon Springs volunteer
posted Aug 13, 2013 - 1:25:17pm
They act as an extra set of eyes and ears for Volusia County Sheriff's deputies, helping to deter crime and keep the community safe. They're volunteer citizen observers, and their duties run the gamut from routine patrols, watching over the homes of vacationing residents and working community events to traffic control, enforcement of handicapped parking rules and fingerprinting children for their parents' records.
But on the evening of May 16, while on routine patrol in DeLeon Springs, Bill Higham, a longtime volunteer with the Sheriff's Office's Citizen Observer Program, added life-saver to his job description. That's the day that Higham helped prevent a homeless paraplegic from burning alive in her van.
On Tuesday, Sheriff Ben Johnson rewarded Higham's heroism with the agency's medal of merit. "Job well done. Thank you for being in the right place at the right time and taking that extra step," Sheriff Johnson told Higham during an awards ceremony at the Deputy Stephen Saboda Training Center in Daytona Beach. "It was almost certain death if you had left her alone."
Higham and his patrol partner — COP volunteers almost always work in pairs — were working a shift in DeLeon Springs when Higham spotted a van that appeared to be overheating. He immediately recognized the van's occupant, a paraplegic woman who he routinely checks on while on patrol. And when he got closer, Higham realized the van wasn't just smoking: It was on fire.
While his COP partner relayed the incident to the radio base operator, Higham came up to the van and urgently told the woman that she needed to get out. However, the woman appeared confused and disoriented and was unable to exit the van on her own. Without a moment to spare, Higham grabbed the fire extinguisher from his COP patrol car and extinguished the flames, in all likelihood saving the woman's life. "Mr. Higham's calm intervention prevented this incident from becoming a tragedy with a loss of life," reads the citation that accompanied the medal. "His actions reflect the Volusia County Sheriff's Office's commitment to provide the highest level of service possible to the community."
Higham has been a COP member for 10 years, donating more than 11,000 hours of service during that time. Established in 1989, the COP program has 140 volunteers.

Equestrian fashion guide
Horse riding is one of the most exhilarating recreational activities around. It is not only fun but also very beneficial to health. The best part about horse riding is that there is hardly any limitation of age and abilities. This makes riding accessible and enjoyable to adults and children. All you need is a good set of riding clothes and boots and you are good to go.
Horse riding clothes are available almost everywhere and they aren't very expensive. One of the first things you would require would be horse riding shirt. Unless you are planning on going for a horse show a regular t-shirt or sweat shirt would be more than sufficient. Now if the weather is quite chilly it would be great if you could get an equestrian riding jacket. Among the riding jackets the Kerrits 24K Equestrian Riding Jacket would be a good option.
The Kerrits 24K Equestrian Riding Jacket is one of the most comfortable riding jackets you will find. This jacket is wind, water, and stain resistant. This jacket is machine washable and is wrinkle free so you don't have to iron it every now and then. The fabric used for this jacket is quite light weight and the Slim stretch fit doesn't restrict movement.
Once you've got yourself a jacket, you should consider getting pants which are comfortable and which do not restrict movement. Stirrup pants are basically close-fitting pants that tapers at the ankle. There usually is a band or a strap at the end of the pant that keeps it in place. They always stick in place thanks to the band. Jodhpurs are also worn by a lot of riders because of their durability and ruggedness.
Last but not the least you will require riding boots. Riding boots with about a 1 to 1 ½ inch heel and a low tread is what you should be looking for. These boots are usually made of leather. The slightly cheaper ones are made with a combination of both leather and rubber.

Shiseido Fullmake Washable Base Review & Swatches
Shiseido Fullmake Washable Base was released earlier last Spring in Japan and is the first washable makeup base. What's this mean? Basically it allows you to wash away your makeup with warm water, nothing else! Shiseido Fullmake Washable (FWB) frees the makeup user from the hassle of removing makeup as this new primer will transform your cleansing routine by allowing your makeup to become easier to remove without the need of anything else but warm water.
Crazy right?
I use eye makeup remover, cleansing oil, and follow up with a foaming cleanser and sometimes a scrub as well so perhaps three to four products a night to remove my makeup. Imagine a simple base you apply prior to your makeup that allows you to use water to remove it at the end of the night. How much money and time would you save?
Let's take a look at the Shiseido Fullmake Washable Base!

8 oz. cream cheese, softened
4 oz. bleu cheese
1 stick butter, softened
Small can chopped black olives
1/3 c. chopped pecans
Blend cream cheese, bleu cheese and butter. Stir in olives. Chill 15 minutes. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for one hour. Roll in chopped pecans and chill a bit longer. We always serve with Ritz Crackers, but feel free to use the cracker of your choice (the buttery goodness of a Ritz really works well with the buttery goodness of the cheese ball, though).

Qantas Group is expecting the introduction of a carbon price system to impact its cost by around Australian dollar (A$) 110-115 million ($118-124 million) in its financial year ending 30 June 2013.
The Australian government introduced the carbon price system on 1 July.
This will see domestic carriers bearing the full starting carbon price of A$23 per tonne through an increase in aviation fuel excise from July 2012, Qantas said. Domestic carriers also will not have access to transitional assistance or compensation arrangements, Qantas added.
International aviation fuel will be excluded from the carbon price scheme.
"Following the transition to an emissions trading scheme in July 2015, aviation fuel excise increases will be determined based on a six-month average of the market price for carbon," said Qantas
The carrier stated that it will be unable to absorb the additional costs associated with the carbon price and will see a full pass-through to its customers.

Wednesday, January 16, 2013
Panther Pride radiated from a packed Eidson Gym as students, staff, alumni, and distinguished guests celebrated Pinewood Preparatory School's 60th birthday.
The celebration, held Jan. 11, featured comments and reflections from distinguished guests, music from Pinewood's High School Choir, and the inauguration of a new tradition, the Bleacher Dance.
"Pinewood really helped me in many ways," noted alumnus Moses Smith, who graduated in 2010 and now attends Oberlin College in Ohio. "A lot of people helped me here – I don't think I would be where I am today without Pinewood and the people here."
The history may simply read that the Allan Family founded Pinewood School in 1952 with a student body of 52 in grades 1-8. Eventually, the school would merge with another independent school, Summerville Academy in 1980.
However, those who remember the early years well remember founder Henrietta Muckenfuss Allan, whose personality and character was an important defining factor of the essence of the school.
"When it came to iron she had a trainload," was a quote that immediately came to mind for Bill Walker, an alumnus and former development director who delivered a few remarks on the history of the school.
People who remember her will obviously remember that she ran the school with great business acumen, love for her young charges, and absolute authority, he noted. She demanded the best of everyone under her, students, teachers and staff alike – and she brooked no nonsense. Hers was a mission to build excellence – and that legacy is embodied in Pinewood today, Walker noted
"She would be absolutely thrilled to see her school today," Walker said.
Guest Speaker Rutherford Smith, a former trustee spoke of the traditions of the early years and the founders' ideals of vision, mindset, and tenacity. They had a dream of building an institution of quality education and they held to their vision even when the reception of the community was sometimes less than enthusiastic. He exhorted the students to find heroes to emulate and to have the vision and tenacity to follow their dreams.
Rhett Frampton, a senior faculty member, spoke of teaching at Pinewood and what it means to her. She read an excerpt from the classic children's story, "The Little Engine that Could," drawing a parallel between the values underpinning the Pinewood experience and the book.
"Pinewood is a family," she said. "A family is people who love and care for one another, people with whom you feel safe."
Like the little engine, when one is a member of the Pinewood Family, one is part of a group that seeks challenges, explores new ideas, and believes in truth.
"Pinewood, I know we can," she said.
After the bleacher dance and remarks from current board member David Price, Head of School Steve Mandell presented a large birthday card covered with hundreds of signatures to the student body. Rep. Chris Murphy and Rep. Jenny Horne then presented Mandell a framed copy of a resolution passed in the SC House of Representatives commemorating Pinewood's 60 years of educational and community contributions.
In closing Mandell gave the students three points to ponder, telling them to look back, look around, and look forward.
"Look back to those who have come before you, look around to those who are with you," Mandell said. "Then look forward to a great future."
Pinewood is not just Summerville's best school; it's one of the best in the country," he said.

Recipe by MLT
"This recipe has been a family favorite for 30 years! I learned to prepare this from a neighbor who was from Germany, hence the name! My hubby doesn't eat mustard but this is his all time favorite - be sure to try!"

center cut pork chops
1/2 cup
prepared mustard
1/4 cup
all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons
vegetable oil
1 (10.5 ounce) can
condensed chicken and rice soup
I love this one. I use regular cream of chicken soup and leave the chops sit in the mustard for a while before I coat and cook them. Easy and full of flavor.
This recipe sounded really quick, easy, and good. My husband and I both like mustard so I was excited about it, but I think that cooking it in the soup took away most of the mustard's flavor. I might make this again, but they tasted mostly like chicken and rice soup, not like mustardy pork chops. Also, the cooking time was not long enough if you're using pork chops with a bone.
61 Ratings
Very nice. I used just chicken stock instead of the soup for a lighter option, and it worked beautifully.
This is the BEST. My mom has been making this for me since I was a child. It is the exact recipe she has and I have never seen it anywhere!! She is from Germany too. Thanks for sharing, so others can try it too!!
thank you for this wonderful recipe
my husbond loved so much he ate two whole chops. I am not crazy for pork chop, but this one is great.
I would not change anything about this recipe.
This recipe is fantastic, tastes very similar to my Grandma's who is from Germany.
This turned out really good. I didnt have canned soup so I made Chicken and Rice soup from scratch, I made enough for the pork chops and then for leftover soup for the next day.
Awesome Recipe! Only thing I did different was to add about 2 tsp of horseradish mustard to the prepared mustard and my eaters all loved it! Thanks!

Makers of antibacterial soaps and body washes may soon be required to prove their products are not only safe for daily long term use but also more effective than plain soap and water when it comes to preventing illness and the spread of infection.
That's according to a new rule proposed monday by the Food and Drug Administration.
If manufacturers can't prove safety and effectiveness, they'd have to reformulate the products or change their label for them to stay on store shelves.
Antibacterial hand soaps and body washes are used widely and frequently by consumers.
And some data show there may be long-term health risks from exposure, including bacterial resistance or hormonal effects.
Hand sanitizers, wipes and antibacterial products used in health care settings are not affected by the proposed rule.

Product description
When Justinian first assumed the title of Roman Emperor in 527 CE, his inherited empire-now based in Constantinople- had lost almost all of its connection with the Eternal City itself, and was threatened from within by profound theological splits, and from without by the various barbarian kingdoms that surrounded it. By taking military action against the barbarian Ostrogoths, Visigoths, and Vandals, and signing an eternal peace with Persia, Justinian managed to reclaim much of the lands formerly held by Rome; while through his incessant legislation and monetary contributions to an extensive building program, he sought to reestablish the old Roman cultural institutions of order and architectural beauty in his newly won kingdom. This inveterate reformer and innovative leader, whose name remains on the beams of the Hagia Sophia, and whose influence extends into the legal practices of the present time, remains as compelling a man today as he was to his original historians almost 1500 years ago. Designed as an accessible introduction to Justinian's reign and his time, The Emperor Justinian and the Byzantine Empire offers readers and researchers an appealing mix of descriptive chapters, biographical sketches, and annotated primary documents. An overview of the world of Late Antiquity is presented in the introduction, and is followed by chapters on the shape of the Empire, the Nike revolt of 532, the legal achievements of Justinian, the Empress Theodora, and Justinian's building program. The narrative chapters conclude with a section discussing the imperial achievements as a whole. An annotated bibliography and index are also included in this work.

Author information
James Allan Evans is Professor Emeritus of Classical Near Eastern and Religious Studies at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. He has published several works on ancient Greece and Rome, including "The Age of Justinian: The Circumstances of Imperial Power."
Review quote
"The author has succeeded in providing an appealing and eminently accessible taster to this fascinating period..." - Journal of Classics Teaching "[F]or high school to college collections...[p]roviding an introduction to Justinian's reign and time. Biography blends with history using annotated primary documents to provide a review of the Late Antiquity and its influences...An excellent reference." - MBR Bookwatch "Evans provides an introduction to Justinian's reign and time through descriptive chapters, biographical sketches, and annotated primary documents. An overview of late antiquity is followed by chapters on the shape of the Empire, the Nike revolt of 532, the legal achievements of Justinian, the Empress Theodora, Justinian's building program, and imperial achievements as a whole." - Reference & Research Book News/Art Book News Annual "Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and two-year technical program students; general readers." - Choice "[A] handy, reliable account of the era complete with biographies of notable characters, a very useful glossary of terms, and a selection of major documents bearing on the reign of Emperor Justinian. The glossary is particularly welcome because the nonspecialist readership often finds Byzantine religious and theological concepts daunting. The twenty documents, selected by Evans, shed light on the rule of Justinian and the complex issues and relationships of that time...[t]his work does much to open up for upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and general readers the Byzantine world of Emperor Justinian. One can say that Evans has accomplished his task and has produced a readable work on that important era." - The Historian

By M. Bowes Hamill, MD
Americans love their sports as well as other indoor and outdoor activities. These pastimes provide wonderful opportunities for healthy exercise and great memories. But for some, especially for children, preventable eye injuries can spoil such reminiscences.
Approximately 42,000 sports-related eye injuries occur every year in the United States. More than one-third of the victims are children. In fact, sports represent the number one cause of eye injuries in children under the age of sixteen. Injuries range from abrasions of the cornea and bruised eyelids to internal eye damage, such as retinal detachments and internal bleeding. Many of these injuries lead to vision loss and permanent blindness.
The sports with the highest risk -- for which eye protection is available -- include basketball, baseball, hockey, football, lacrosse, fencing, paintball, water polo, racquetball, soccer and downhill skiing. In baseball, for example, most eye injuries result from the ball hitting the eye. Batters are the most common victims, though pitchers and outfielders can also be hurt. In basketball, most eye injuries result from the eyes being poked by fingers and elbows.
Wearing Protective Eyewear
Athletes participating in high-risk sports -- especially young athletes -- should wear appropriate sport-specific protective eyewear as recommended and properly fitted by an ophthalmologist or other eye care professional. The good news is that athletes today can choose from various types of lightweight and sturdy protective eyewear that look and fit better than those used in the past.
Eyewear that is properly fitted and consistently worn does not hinder performance in any way, and can prevent 90 percent of sports eye injuries. Many famous athletes, including NBA All-Star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, NFL Hall of Fame Eric Dickerson and MLB Hall of Fame Johnny Bench, have excelled in their respective sports while wearing protective eyewear. In Canada, eye injuries decreased by 90 percent after certified full-face protectors attached to headgear were made mandatory in organized amateur hockey.
The lenses of the different types of protective eyewear should be made of polycarbonate, which is 20 times stronger than the lenses of typical eyewear. Polycarbonate can withstand a ball or other projectile traveling at 90 miles per hour. Contact lenses offer no protection, and street wear glasses are inadequate to protect against any type of eye injury.
Special consideration needs to be given to athletes with good vision in only one eye, or with a history of eye injury. Functionally one-eyed athletes (those whose best-corrected visual acuity is less than 20/40 in the poorer-seeing eye), or those who have had previous eye injury or surgery, should never participate in boxing or full-contact martial arts, for which no adequate eye protection is available. For sports in which a facemask or helmet with eye protectors is required, functionally one-eyed athletes should also wear sports goggles with polycarbonate lenses to ensure adequate protection. The helmet should fit properly and have a chinstrap.
Parents' Role in Sports Eye Safety
Because many children's sports leagues, schools and teams don't require children to wear eye protection, parents must insist that children wear eye protection every time they play. In addition, they should set a good example by wearing eye protection themselves whenever they play sports.
Parents can get involved at the local level and help pass ordinances that require children under the age of 16 to wear batting helmets with protective face shields when playing baseball, as the City of Baltimore did recently. Also, they can work to mandate the use of softer baseballs, which are available (and would cause fewer head injuries), but are generally not used.
Similar requirements could be applied to other sports as well. The key is to take active, preventive steps to ensure that we all protect our most valuable sense -- sight.

Wine Basics for the Bartender Part 4: Wine Storage Recommendations
Just like any alcohol, wine has a set of storage recommendations that ensure it remains good until it is poured. Wine is a more delicate should be stored at certain temperatures for the best taste once opened. Wine is a fairly delicate member of the alcohol family and requires some effort to store properly. When storing wine, be aware that white wine is generally meant to be enjoyed within two years of its production, with the exception of some Chardonnays, which can be aged up to 20 years. Most red wines will develop character and complexity they age, although inexpensive, New World wines will rarely change or improve with time.
One of the keys to storing wine is maintaining the wine's temperature. Ideally, one needs a cellar, a wine cooler or a wine merchandiser to keep the temperature of wine constant. Using one or more wine merchandisers makes perfect sense for liquor stores or bars with space behind the bar or near it. Wine refrigerators are kept at a higher temperature than normal refrigerators, so keeping wine in the reach-in where you keep the cocktail mix and heavy cream is not typically the best idea. Maybe wine bars have wine refrigerators built into a wall or elaborate fixture where servers can grab a bottle and guests can take a peek at the selection. The key is maintaining a constant temperature to keep the wine at its peak serving temperature. After all, most of these wines are best enjoyed at the same temperature at which they are stored. Additionally, the humidity plays an important role as well. Wine corks can dry out and allow air to enter the bottle unless the storage environment is kept at a high humidity level--about 70% humidity. Those with temperature- and humidity-controlled wine coolers have a head-start, although ideally one would have several wine coolers of different temperatures for all the different wines they keep on hand. Below is a table of suggested wine temperatures based on wine type.
|Wine Type
|Varietal Examples
|Storage Temperature (ºF)
|Sparkling wines
|Champagne, Prosecco
|Dry white wines
|Pinot Gris, Riesling
|Sweet and rosé wines
|Rosé, Moscato
|Young, low acid red wines
|Malbec, Merlot
|Structured red wines
|Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah
|Aged or dry red wines
|Pinot Noir
|Fine aged red wine
|Pinot Noir
Horizontal Storage
There is a reason that wine bottles are stored on their sides rather than upright. Storing wine on their sides ensures that the corks stay moist. If a cork is allowed to dry out, air can seep through the cork and the wine can begin to oxidize. This eventually spoils the wine. However, many establishments will allow a wine bottle to stand upright for a few moments before serving it so that any sediment in the wine can settle to the bottom of the bottle and not make it into the wine glass.
Dark Storage
As with beer and some other alcohols, UV light from the sun and some fluorescent light can spoil a wine. Some bottles have dark glass which helps reduce exposure, although light can still seep through. If exposure to light is an issue, keep the wine in a box or lightly wrapped in a cloth. Keeping wines totally out of the light is the best solution.« Previous...Wine Basics for the Bartender Part 3: Fundamentals of Wine Glassware

Digital Shopping Trend: Simplicity
"Creators have to be willing to take an axe to things that aren't 100% necessary." – Michael Janiak, Creative Director @ Fluid
In our interview, Mike keeps it short and sweet. And simple. Which happens to exemplify his point and isn't always as easy as it sounds.
His digital shopping trend: Simplicity
[Amy] What's your standout digital shopping trend for 2014?
[Michael] Just one? Simplicity.
We're going to hit a point where too much stuff is being crammed into shopping experiences and the reaction is going to be negative. The shopping experience needs to be simple. Simple doesn't mean boring.
[Amy] Who's going to react?
[Michael] Agencies. Retailers. Consumers. It's coming to a boiling point. The switch is going to have to flip – there are too many social + shopping + start-ups + services doing the same things with different names. It's going to come to a head.
[Amy] How do you see this impacting design?
[Michael] I think the impact will be positive. It puts design in the front seat – instead of tactics.
We typically strive for clarity anyway so doesn't change our day-to-day a lot at Fluid. We need to remain cognizant of what people are looking for – benefits, convenience and engagement – and express it through our user experience and visual design.
[Amy] What excites you about this trend?
[Michael] It forces us to think about and focus on the few things that are important.
[Amy] What's unique about simplicity in digital vs. somewhere else?
[Michael] Digital been around a long time and we're just starting to get to point of simplicity. Experiences have been confusing and interfaces have been hacky. The industry in just starting to grasp how to hide complex functions behind a simple interface
[Amy] Why does simplicity matter in shopping?
[Michael] It supports the notion of convenience and that's why people shop online.
[Amy] If you're a retailer, how do you make the hard trade-off decisions to achieve simplicity?
[Michael] In a perfect world, there is one person, or a small group, in charge of that kind of stuff. Simplicity needs to be a corporate goal – like increasing profits 10%. Retailers need to get the right people in the room, lay simplicity out as a priority and get behind it and either get behind it or get out of the way.
[Amy] Who's doing simplicity well?
[Michael] Everlane is doing it incredibly well – from the stories that they tell to their emails to their check-out process. They have simple, elegant solutions that never lose the feeling of their brand and what they stand for. They nail it.
[Amy] What does simplicity mean for Fluid this year?
[Michael] It means creating and building the best and most focused experiences that we possibly can -without over-architecting or over-designing.
[Amy] How do you measure the success of simplicity? Or do you?
[Michael] You measure it the same way you measure other goals and objectives. I think there's also a sense that it's successful if it contributes. At the end of the day, look at everything you've done and see if there are patterns of successful experiences.
[Amy] Talk about how simplicity is influenced by mobile.
[Michael] Responsive and adaptive design are on the rise and they require focus. Content has to scale to different devices. Creators have to be willing to take an axe to things that aren't 100% necessary. Before mobile and tablet you could get away with having everything. You can't anymore – for performance and design reasons.
Right now with the form factor, you don't get the rich viewing experience of what you want to buy when you're on mobile. Checkout sucks. Filling out forms sucks. Buying happens on mobile when the timing is right – when the consumer has made up their mind to buy.
[Amy] Any other stands you want to take for 2014?
[Michael] I think there is a lack of creative thinking in the world of retail. Retailers are lagging behind in how they think about, and how they use, new technologies. Start-ups are thriving. NastyGal came out of nowhere and they get it. In traditional retail I see a fear of risk and a lack of creativity.
[Amy] How can Fluid be part of a solution to that problem?
[Michael] It's on us to overshoot initially with ideas that seem too crazy – ideas that push boundaries but could still be delivered. We also need to do a better job of breaking things down so we can help retailers incrementally build to bigger ideas and experiences. We can work with one cog in the wheel and start to influence the whole system.
[Amy] What was the last thing you bought online?
[Michael] Two gifts for my wife from Macy's.

Young thespians want Bath audience to get 'The Point'
BATH — You don't have to have a point, to have a point.
That's the point of "The Point," which the Midcoast Youth Theater performs at the Chocolate Church Arts Center through Saturday, July 12.
The show is based on a 1971 animated film that includes the voices of Dustin Hoffman and Ringo Starr, and the music of Harry Nilsson, according to the Internet Movie Database. It tells the story of Oblio, a boy born into a kingdom where everyone has a literal point, and his round head makes him the exception.
Ultimately deemed an outlaw and exiled to the Pointless Forest, Oblio learns from his new experiences and acquaintances that one doesn't have to be pointed for life to have a point.
Midcoast Youth Theater, launched in 2003 and based in Brunswick, produces five musicals a year involving 200-500 participants each season.
Henry Eichman is the show director, and David Olsen Pietrowski, a.k.a. Mr. O.P., is the musical director.
Tracy Gregoire's search for youth theaters led her to Midcoast Youth Theater, where her 5-year-old son Jasiah is among the young performers in "The Point." He loves to perform and sing, and, after watching a play at Woodside Elementary School in Topsham, wanted to be on the stage, too.
"It's a wonderful non-profit organization," the Topsham woman said last week. "They give everybody a role that tries out."
The group also has low participation fees, and includes all participants regardless of their ability to pay, Gregoire added.
"For my son and for the kids in general, they're learning how to do a group activity where everybody has a role, and everybody's role is just as important as everybody else's," she said, adding that participants learn more about "how to sing, how to do dance moves when you're singing. ... They're also learning how to work as a group, as a team, in a multi-age setting, which is wonderful."
"The Point" goes on stage at 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday, July 10 and 11, and 2 p.m. Saturday, July 12. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for students, and free for children 3 and younger.
Call 751-2619, or log onto youth-theater.org, for more information.

Albuquerque, N.M. - Senior Coco D'Angelo and sophomore Kaela Kelly scored in the second half, giving New Mexico a 2-1 win over the Portland State Vikings on Friday afternoon in UNM's home-opener at the UNM Soccer Complex. Portland State (0-2-0) took an early 1-0 lead on a goal by Jamie Blakesley in the 31st minute. The Lobos (2-1-0) struggled in the first half with only four shots, none of them on goal. In the second half, New Mexico took control of the game with two goals. D'Angelo scored the Lobos first goal on a cross kick from Kristine Sweat which she put in the back of the net at the 59th minute. Kelly scored on a header on a long pass just inside the midfield line from Samantha Sullivan in the 71st minute. New Mexico held the Vikings for the final 19 minutes of the game for the victory. "Obviously we showed a lot of character in the second half," said UNM head coach Kit Vela. "Portland State is a good team. They give us trouble, they knock a lot of balls long, they're good and I'm sure they'll have a good season. There's a lot of heart and soul on our team. Hopefully this win with propel us into tomorrow's game." UNM returns to action tomorrow at the UNM Soccer Complex where it will face the Texas Tech Red Raiders at 1 p.m. (MDT).

with Daijaku Judith Kinst, PhD
in the City Center dining room
Thursday, September 4, 2014
7:30 - 9 pm
How we understand who we are, how we function, and how reality functions, profoundly impacts the way in which we experience and live our day to day lives—and the way in which we understand and practice the Dharma. Traditional models of Buddhist psychology have much to offer us in this regard, as do contemporary Western psychological theories.
In this lecture we will discuss principles central to Buddhist psychology and how they interface with the perspective of compatible Western psychological teachings.
What is the self? How does it, and our experience of the world, take shape?
How do we understand the teachings of no-self?
How are these principles compatible with dynamic/creative/individual self expression?
What are the roots of delusion and suffering, and how do we address them?
What is healing, and what is its role in the life of a dharma practitioner?
What is the role of trust?
What do we mean by liberation?
This lecture will provide an introduction to key principles in Buddhist psychology of particular interest to students and practitioners of Buddhism. We will cover basic teachings on the construction of self experience, with a specific focus on the model of self and transformation presented in Yogaçara teachings. With this foundation we will introduce compatible Western psychological contributions. We will also discuss, briefly, the way of healing developed by Paula Arai from her work with contemporary Japanese women Soto Zen practitioners.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Casey
"This recipe is quick and delicious! I use the broth as an au jus with the sandwiches. Yummy Yummy!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 pound
thinly sliced roast beef
1 (.7 ounce) package
dry Italian-style salad dressing mix
1 (16 ounce) jar
pepperoncini, sliced
1 (10.5 ounce) can
beef broth
Trust this recipe! I looked at my 16 oz jar of pepperochini and thought "that just looks ridiculous." Don't think about it, don't drain it, just add it all in. In fact, when you buy the italian dressing packet, go for the zesty one. As recommended, I lightly brushed olive oil on a hard roll and sprinkled with garlic powder before toasting (425 for 8 minutes). Throw some creamy horseradish on the bun, chop up those pepperochini and toss them on the meat and top with provolone, and you've got a winner!
Very good and much like "Chicago Italian Beef," but like other reviewers thought it was way too salty. Will definitely make it again but will use low sodium beef broth and much less salad dressing mix. I'm assuming the salt content of the salad dressing mix and/or the olives in the pepperoncini might be the culprit. Will check labels before I make again though.

I cook meat for my family just about every day, but I honestly dont' eat it.(I do taste tho) Nothing political or health related; just don't care for it. However, this dish is one big WOW FACTOR! I kept taking fork fulls all night! I decided to use pork tenderloin with this and it was amazing. It literally melted in your mouth. I like a lot of liquid, so I used the juice from the peppers and used three cans of low sodium beef broth and only a half a packet of the seasoning. (didn't want it to be too salty) Also threw in a sliced onion plus my own seasonings. This is a winner Casey and I thank you for submitting it, but I'm begging you to give it a try with the pork. Thanks again!
Everyone liked it and a couple people requested the recipe, but I agree that it's a little too salty. After making it several more times, I've found that using reduced sodium beef broth makes it much better.
This was really good. Even better with crusty rolls that have been toasted and brushed with olive oil. Then load on the meat and cover with mozzarella cheese and broil for a couple of minutes. My husband raved! We also topped ours with roasted red peppers and mild banana peppers. Yum! Warning: this makes a LOT of meat. I used only 3.5 pounds, fed 5 people the first time, made leftovers for 3 tonight and have at least 6 more servings in the freezer.
These were easy to make as I just did mine on top of the stove, however, the salt content has to be reduced. My hands and legs were so swollen after eating. Way too salty. Because of this, I won't be making again.
EXCELLENT! My husbands favorite sandwich is a french dip and he couldn't stop raving when I made these. I didn't add the pepperocini's because I feared the kids reactions and they were still great. I made a butter and garlic spread and toasted it on my roll before adding the beef and it was delicious. Not exactly low sodium, but a great treat. I have a feeling my husband will request this one a lot!
I was skeptical at first when I read people comparing this recipe to Chicago style Italian Beef Sandwiches. This recipe is awesome! it has a great tangy flavor and sooo easy!! Tips: use low salt broth, and I only put half the jar of pepperocini in and that seemed like more than enough. My husband is picky and he liked it! oh and I'm feeding it to my family from Chicago this weekend!

No longer building arch tops
As of now I am no longer building arch tops. My reasons are physical… my hands are taking too much of a beating. But I am building solid body Mule Teams and perhaps, a few flat tops.

Note: Leaders should click here for a free Leader's Guide PDF.
Epic: A Journey Through Church History - The epic story of the Catholic Church spans thousands of years. With an unlikely beginning in a remote outpost of the Roman empire, the Catholic Church now claims over a billion living members. The persecutions, martyrdoms, conquests, and triumphs all came together to shape Western civilization as we know it today. Presented by Steve Weidenkopf.
Our identity as Catholics means that we are the inheritors of the deeds of holy men and women who for 2,000 years have built a great civilization and spread the Gospel throughout the world. Church history is not just the recitation of popes, people, places, and events; it is a story of adventure, intrigue, rebellion, reform, and devotion. This story is, in fact, our story; this is our family. If we know our past, and how we fit into the story, we will be better prepared to face whatever may come in the future.
Utilizing the same structure as The Great Adventure, Epic presents twelve color-coded time periods of Church History that identify the main events in Church History, Culture, and Politics, as well as the Popes, Martyrs, Saints and Doctors of the Church. Developed by teachers and historians Steve Weidenkopf and Dr. Alan Schreck, this exciting learning system will teach you Church history from a truly Catholic perspective.
What you will learn...
...and much more!
The Study Set (Item #1011693) includes: a workbook, a timeline chart, and a bookmark.
|Sister Susan Marie O'Connor, CSJ (Latham, NY, March 25, 2014)
|Used with the excellent book & 20 audio CD's of the same name for 20 classes, the Time Line offered an addition visual to enable us to understand Church History.
|Liz the evolving Catholic (Los Angeles, CA, May 16, 2011)
|I joined a group at my church & discovered how this material bonded us in our discovery and enjoyment of our rich and colorful history. I enjoy knowing how our history has been misunderstood and how to better defend it. Highly recommend this material to the bystander Catholic for the purpose of better understanding and appreciating the wholeness and beauty of the Catholic history and traditions. Group watched and easily followed along with DVD. I purchased CD to listen to in car and reinforce group learning. Expensive, but worth it! Pros: Comprehensive
|Jill (San Jose, CA, March 4, 2011)
|My children and I are totally enjoying this. Looking at World History from the eyes of Christendom is totally different and things make a lot more sense then what I learned in school. It goes so fast my teenager thinks there should be a 5 or 10 week course on each class time...she's now thinking of doing a a degree in theology
|Terri (CA, January 12, 2011)
|This is one of the best series I've seen. I wish I'd had this guy as a history teacher in high school, I'd not only have liked history, I'd have LOVED it. He is engaging, informative, and fascinating. He presents the material not as dry facts and dates but explains the motives that people had behind their actions. He also explains how what happened hundreds of years ago affects the Church today. Absolutely fascinating! Pros: Educational, Enjoyable, Fascinating, Great Presenatation

Things I liked:I have used them for three separate shooting sessions. The one-piece design is MUCH less fussy to assembly than the 3-piece non-illuminated or the 3-piece incandescent bulb illuminated version. Is clearly more stable and less fragile when installed. The one piece struts are also much easier to install. They seem much less fragile than incandescent lamp model and are much more well balanced hanging down from rather than perched on top of defusers. Makes them seem to weigh less, but I didn't measure. I no longer worry about bumping the assembly and breaking the lamp filament when it's turned on and it is MUCH cooler as you would expect. Other than problems listed below, seem very reliable.
Things I would have changed:Cigarette Lighter adapter and a simple protective case should have been included at the price.
What others should know:Power brick seem to be able to transmit line voltage changes to the LEDs, which causes a front or rear sensor error message to be generated. Every time our washing machine changed cycles, I got an error on the Chrony remote readout and my printer. Printer was using AA batteries and Chrony was using its 9V. Had to be the LEDs as was time perfect with washing machine motor start and stop. Unlike the incandescent lamp models, this version was very sensitive to having fluorescent lights on in the same room, even though they were not directly overhead.
Things I liked:The LED lights are red which reduces glare from my 70 watt light bulbs glowing over a large sheet of white paper! My FPS numbers didn't change either. It works and is consistant.
Things I would have changed:Perhaps a bigger sweet spot for the chrony to measure pellet speed.
Things I liked:Works every shot same no need to worry about lighting conditions anymore
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:Nice red led

Trick or Treat Cookies! Making these cookies wasn't actually as difficult as I thought it was going to be, and compared to some things I've made, not nearly as time intensive. I was barely up late, and that was just to let the glaze harden. Of course, I couldn't sleep once I got to bed anyway, but that's another matter.
Photos and process below. The idea/recipe was courtesy of notmartha.org and glaze courtesy of King Arthur. (And seriously? Best cookie glaze ever. I can't wait to use it for Christmas cookies. Ack, I can't wait to make Christmas treats. So many ideas!)
Balls o' dough. This is two batches of the sugar cookie recipe from Not Martha. I colored one orange for the pumpkins, obviously, and left one white. My original idea was to make candy corn cookies out of the remnants, but then I decided I was really tired of rolling out dough, so I just made regular round ones instead.
Cutting out pumpkins. You can see where I only got six in here, meaning only three trick or treat cookies. Not nearly enough! No fear, just mash all the scrap dough together and roll it out again.
Cookies cooling. Ignore the slightly overcooked ghosts that I keep thinking are angels. I'm not good at rolling out dough evenly. Apparently there are fancy rolling pins you can buy that have rings on them to help you get dough at exactly the prescribed 1/4 inch, 3/8 inch, 5/16 inch or whatever ridiculous thickness they tell you to use. I usually just roll it out until I feel like I've gotten a good workout, which is not a good method as evidenced by the singed ghosty angels. I'm on the lookout for one of those pins, now.
My OCD at work! (Bad picture, but it's all the orange and brown M&Ms in a medium bag. More oranges than browns, if you were wondering.)
Icing glue!
The treats are INSIDE the cookies…(Points if you know that one. I was thinking it to myself the whole time I was doing this.) If you look closely, one of the ghosts had an accident and I had to glue his arm back together. That's right, I'm a cookie doctor.
Putting on the tops. Now, if you were smarter than me, you would have cut half one way and half the mirror image so you could have the pretty baked side showing outside and the flat sides on the inside and everything would have glued together much better. But, alas, I am not so smart. One time when I was making a pillow, I sewed the two wrong sides together TWICE. That part that lets you flip stuff around in your brain – yeah, I'm missing that. I think it's also the reason I can't figure out if a turn is left or right unless I'm facing the right direction. Or east or west. But I digress. Cookies!
Grumpy jack-o-lanterns. I was going to put some of those smarties in the treat cookies, but I was told M&Ms were better. So the Smarties will come to the office with me and go in the candy jar.
The final loot. I had plenty of dough leftover to make a bunch of regular cookies that I then glazed and put orange stripes or dots on to make them a bit more festive. I would totally do this again; it wasn't really that much of a headache. I think Valentine's would be a good holiday for them. The trouble is finding tiny enough candies to go inside. The M&Ms were a bit big, so I couldn't fit too many.
Happy Halloween!

In Class with Char Miller: "Nature, Culture and Society"
A '50s Smokey the Bear video launched the class discussion on"Life in the Hot Zone," during the fourth week of Professor Char Miller's class on Nature, Culture and Society. The two student discussion leaders used the public service announcement, along with the scene of a forest fire from Bambi to address how and why our perceptions of fire have changed in the past 60 years. In preparation for the class, students were assigned Stephen Pyne's America's Fires: a Historical Context for Policy and Practice.
Annie: We are the Bambi-watching generation. Before I took AP biology in high school and learned about the benefits of fire, my view of fire was that it was horrible; it killed all the cute animals.
Miller: And now?
Annie: You realize there are ecological benefits to fire. DAVID: Reading Pyne has helped me understand the benefits of forest fires, and how we need things periodically burned, although there is no real answer of how we can get the long-termbenefits, while stopping the tragedy in the short run. It's a hard balance.
Miller: In Pyne's book, where does he talk about fire being expunged from the landscape and from human behavior? What time frame is he talking about?
Gator: The Mesozoic Era. The plants were buried instead of burned, which made the coal deposits. And now we're burning them.
Miller: Those fuels are driving our post industrialization, and fires are part of that larger process. There is even a more recent moment when Pyne looks at why fires were stopped in the postWorld War II era. This is part of the larger cultural discussion that says that fire is destructive and you have to stamp it out whenever you can … How did we go from thinking fire is awful to viewing it as a good thing?
Megan: This whole prescribed burning method started in the 1960s and that was a huge defining moment for the environmental movement. It was when Rachel Carson wrote her book about how pesticides and insecticides were damaging the environment. All this new information that was very scientific-based was coming out, and I think that really played a role into why peoplebegan to shift their views about fire.
Miller: The drive for fire suppression came how? What is the political and institutional context in which the suppression of fire emerged?
Julie: I thought it was interesting how it corresponded with the military. Following World War II, the military was viewed as an excellent thing; that it should solve all our problems.
Miller: How did the military shape the post-World War II response?
Julie: They already had a system of mobilization intact, and they had this equipment they didn't need any more--let's use it to not make things burn.
Miller: You take the infrastructure that fought a war and led toward that victory and, as Pyne says, you mobilize it, put the Forest Service logo on it, and you can enter into landscapes andfight fires that you couldn't fight before because you didn't have the technology. The first agency outside the military to use parachutes was the U.S. Forest Service. They could get behind thefire and literally get into the up country to fight fire.
Joyce: We're talking a lot about fire in forests, but we also wanted to discuss fire in urban and suburban areas.
Miller: Here's the language we need to play with—natural disasters. What does that concept mean?
Anna: I think in the context of our society, it's an event that harms us on a large scale.
Cindy: Something humans can't control.
Miller: If you suppress and suppress and suppress a fire, Pyne says, it's going to come back with a greater intensity and do a lot more damage. The conception of natural disaster has to have sortof parenthetical marks around it because humans aid and abet "natural disasters."
Megan: That leads to our final, really broad question: can nature resolve its fire issues better than we can?
Hanna: I struggle with the question of nature versus people. People do change their environment, and we can argue that there is no such thing as a natural state outside of people because we are in nature, so it seems like we have to deal with what we've got. I don't think there is such a thing as letting nature take care of itself.
