Recently, in the name of research, we spent an afternoon pondering a rather iconic footwear option: the pointy shoe. Using our favorite unscientific-but-impassioned problem-solving processÂ--the roundtableÂ--we discussed all of the pointy pump's iconic associations. For some of us, these sharp shoes bring to mind a sort of dangerous retro-femininity (think: troubled Hitchcock heroines like Tippi Hedren in The Birds or Kim Novak in Vertigo), while others feel like the statement footwear is reminiscent of '80s style icons like Cindy Crawford and Madonna. While we couldn't settle our debate about which era best exemplifies the pointy pumpÂ--yes, the fight rages onÂ--we did manage to agree on one thing: this shoe style is back in the spotlight and better than ever. As seen on the most referenced runways and top trendsetters like Mary-Kate Olsen and Alexa Chung, the pointy pump is a must-buy for fall!
The reason we're so excited about this shoe style right now is simple: it works with lots of disparate looks and therefore enjoys a wide-reaching appeal. For example, minimalists should check out the way Stella McCartney used the Morgana Patent Pointed Slingbacks ($695) to punctuate her polished collection of streamlined separates. We think the shoe's clean lines are the perfect accent to her pared-down pieces. If you're on the other side of the fashion spectrum and love ladylike looks, you should study the Louis Vuitton and Prada shows, where this shoe style was equally popular. At the former, designer Marc Jacobs paired bow-bedecked Beauty Pumps ($1240, 866.VUITTON) with circle skirts and décolletage-revealing necklines, as discussed in our D.I.Y. Bow Shoes story, while Miuccia Prada accented her feminine frocks with Prada's Patent Leather Bow Pumps ($895). Even the patron saint of cool-girl styleÂ--Isabel MarantÂ--did a version of this iconic shoe, proving our point that this silhouette is universally adored and therefore a timeless wardrobe essential.
But if our runway examples alone haven't convinced you that pointed pumps are a delightful footwear choice this fall, surely our latest batch of style stars will change your mind. First things first: you don't need to go for a stiletto heel to enjoy this trend. In fact, two of our celebrity examples are actually wearing flat (or almost flat) versions of these must-try shoes! For example, the always-effortless Alexa Chung was snapped wearing a no-heel version of this accessory du jour at the Miu Miu S/S 11 show. Chung gave her adorable Jason Wu Dress ($1195, 212.643.0598) a touch of toughness by styling it with a strappy pair of Valentino Garavani Rockstud Flats ($795, available in select Saks Fifth Avenue stores). (Fashion insiders such as Dree Hemingway, Anna Dello Russo, and Caroline Seiber have been spotted wearing the much-desired stiletto version.) A month earlier in London, Elle Macpherson opted for a similarly modest style, though her pick has a sweet kitten heel. Her Christian Louboutin for L'Wren Scott shoes perfectly compliment her casual daytime attire, which was comprised of a Topshop shirt, L'Wren Scott cardigan, and J Brand Gigi Mid Rise Crop Flair Jeans ($163) in Shadow.
In addition to these foot-friendly picks, a high-heeled version of the pointy shoe is equally on-trend right nowÂ--just make sure to look to Olivia Palermo and Mary-Kate Olsen for smart dressing ideas. As Palermo shows us, a brightly-colored pointy pump is an excellent way to give a neutral ensemble a playful splash of color. While at the Giambattista Valli S/S 11 fashion show in Paris last month, Palermo paired her Kurt Geiger Fashionistas Corso Como Pumps ($456) in Mustard with a Giambattista Valli dress from the Resort 11 collection and Willow's Resort 11 Front Tuck Jacket ($795). We particularly love how the Swarovski crystal embellishments on the toe and heel give her chic look a touch of glamour. But Palermo wasn't the only paparazzi-favorite in pointy pumps during Paris Fashion Week; Mary-Kate Olsen also stepped out in these super chic shoes. The style icon was photographed en route to lunch at Caviar Kaspia wearing Prada's Patent Leather Bow Pumps ($650), another one of the season's of-the-moment heels! Olsen styled her feminine footwear with a floor-length skirt, leaving just the pointed toe and ladylike bow to peek out from underneath.
Now that we've reviewed how this shoe trend is being addressed both on and off the runways, it's time to present our obsession-worthy shoe list for your purchasing pleasures. If you're looking to emulate Chung and Macpherson's flat and low-heeled versions, Nine West's Madeup Pumps ($80) and Elizabeth and James' Joit Haircalf Tapered Flats ($265) are both superb choices, especially if you're going to be doing a ton of walking. Are you in the market for an ultra-feminine pair of pumps? We are huge fans of Topshop's Jonah Lace Court Shoes ($135), and think they would look amazing teamed up with a knee-length pleated skirt. Of course our list wouldn't be complete without a few dream picks. Aside from the designer pairs we mentioned earlier, we're currently eyeing Jean-Michel Cazabat's Penny Suede Wedge Heels ($395) and have been eyeing Miu Miu's Two-Tone Patent Leather Pumps ($595) for some time now. And because we've never met an animal print we didn't like, Michael Kors' Zebra-Print Calf Hair Flats ($650) are our final must-buy recommendation for the season. Wear them with cropped pants and a long-sleeve blouse for an undeniably chic daytime outfit.

I have a simple question. What is the best tasting olive oil?I'm not asking for facts. I simply wonder what readers here prefer. Personally I don't care for the taste of olive oil raw. I take powdered mustard, mix in some red wine vinegar, then add olive oil, and some salt and pepper to create a salad dressing and then dip chips into it. I also add some to my mashed potatoes to make them creamier.My favorite olive oils are Lucini and Colavita.Both of these are first cold press. Does the pressing make a differance in taste? First cold press vs. second or third cold press. Cold press vs. light or extra light.What are some other ways of spicing up plain old olive oil and still being light weight?
From their site: http://americastestkitchen.com/tasting.asp?tastingid=278&iSeason=6HIGHLY RECOMMENDEDDaVinci Olive Oil$10.49 for 34 ouncesTasters were wowed by this "fruity," "herbaceaous," "grassy," and "slightly peppery" oil. The most like good extra-virgin olive oil.RECOMMENDEDColavita Olive OIl$4.79 for 8.5 ouncesOur tasters liked the fairly bold flavor of this oil with "slightly peppery" and "bitter" notes.Filippo Berio Olive Oil$5.79 for 25.5 ouncesTasters gave decent marks to this "middle of the road" oil that was alternately described as "bland" or "balanced."
Anything labeled "extra extra virgin" because I just love the concept!Fine olive oil seems as varied as wine, and the very best I run across are California products, possibly because they're either straight from the maker or directly distributed to the market. For flavoring, you can keep garlic cloves, tarragon, peppercorns, basil, hot peppers...all manner of herbs, spices and flavorings in the oil (but not everything at once!). It's a great way to preserve garlic, ready to cook, and lends a flavor to the oil.I find I'm carrying more olive oil to add to a variety of dishes as well as for sauteing. Great stuff!
A caution may be in order here. Storing raw garlic in olive oil can potentially result in botulism. The oil excludes oxygen, which can then promote the growth of botulinium organisms that can be found on raw vegetables. Even though I love both garlic and olive oil, and use them copiously, I never store garlic cloves in oil. I just mix it up fresh and use it right away! There's nothing better than some fresh crushed garlic in good olive oil drizzled over angel hair pasta for a quick and satisfying meal! BTW, roasted garlic is OK, as the heat kills the organisms.
James, thanks for the warning. I was thinking of braising crushed garlic in olive oil over low heat. This should infuse the oil with garlic flavor without making the garlic bitter. I plan add the garlic and oil to plain instant mashed potatoes to make a creamy garlic mashed potatoes. This should also make the garlic in the oil "shelf stable".
The cause of food borne botulism is NOT the bacillus itself, but the exotoxin that it produces as a by-product of its microbial metabolism.The organism Clostridium botulinum probably won't compete real well with normal intestinal flora for real-estate to colonize nor for available nutrients. I'm NOT saying that it can't happen even if a person is not immunocompromised in some fashion or has not been on broad spectrum antibiotics that have reduced normal intestinal flora, but onset of the symptoms of Botulism can be as short as 4-5 hrs (IIRC) after ingesting just a fraction of a microgram of toxin. Given the time for (possible) spore formation, passage through the digestive system so that the toxin can be absorbed into the blood stream, (possible) spore germination, successfully competing for real-estate and nutrients and reproduction (at most one reproductive generation every 20 min in the human body), that could be cutting it real close for the organism itself to be the problem - i.e. growing and producing sufficient toxin in vivo, instead of the toxin itself being directly ingested. In a nutshell, the toxin itself generally needs to be ingested (wounds excepting - read on...).In wounds, it is again the toxin, though the bacteria does not have to compete with other normal flora (a wound doesn't have any "normal" flora) for real-estate and nutrients - just the body's infection fighting mechanisms. Even in these cases it is the toxin that migrates via the blood to other parts of the body and there performs its possibly deadly work. Fortunately, the exotoxin produced by C. botulinum is thermolabile and is easily denatured by heat. Even simmering (soups, etc. - i'm not sure of how long to roast) over a low heat for 10min (to be safe; even though incidence is low, mortality rates from botulism poisoning are high - why take a chance?) should do the trick.Keep in mind that ONLY non-acidic foods (e.g., french potato soup - the classic food causing problems since it is sometimes served without heating) offer one of the proper conditions required for growth of C. botulinum. Acidic foods like tomato sauce (tomatoes generally have a pH in the 4.0-4.5 range and so are too acidic to support growth), for instance, are too acidic for C. botulinum to grow. Even potato soup can be heated and then cooled for a short time in a refrigerated environment and then served when it relatively quickly reaches the proper temp.It is very difficult (relatively speaking) to "kill" C. botulinum and related organisms (C. tetani [the etiological agent/causative organism of tetanus], C. perfringins [the etiological agent of gas gangrene], or its aerobic cousin Bacillus anthracis - causes anthrax) since they form "endospores" when they are exposed to conditions not conducive to their survival (later, upon finding better conditions, the spores germinate and the bacteria start to multiply) that are very heat resistant. Five minutes of active, boiling ("rolling" boil) should be able to kill 98%-100% of these endospores. In a microbiology lab, they go "overboard", viz. 15minutes of super-heated steam (15psi which cause water to boil at 250 deg F) when sterilizing items in a steam autoclave.BTW, while this was not the subject of the initial Post that mentioned Botulism, members of the genus Clostridium are normally found in the soil, not water. Hence, they are not normally a concern for hikers.

I only buy EVOO :-) Yum! I actually love the tsuff Trader Joes sells. Affordable and good tasting!(And yes, first pressing is best, it is done by hand, not by chemical means. The last pressings are often done with petro chemicals. Ewwww!)
My favorite is Napa Valley Naturals olive oil. Grown and processed here in the US. I prefer it for its freshness, quality and taste. They also sell different varieties/tastes based on season and olive variety.
Olive oil is like wine in many ways. Different varieties have different notes. My olive oil choices are dependent on what I am using the oil for. If I am bringing oil for a salad or bread dipping I use an evoo with a remarkable flavor purchased from a local Italian gourmet shop. Ususally this will be a little more expensive. If I am merely cooking or frying with olive oil I will use the higher end evoo from the grocery store. If you opened my cupboard right now you'd probably stumble across about 8 different varieties of olive oil and about 4 different balsamic vinegars. If I need to use my evoo at a very high heat I will sometimes add a little canola or safflower oil. If I want to use butter at a heat where it would normally smoke I will add evoo to enrich the flavor and increase the smoke point.Want to spice it up! Add a few roasted peppers or raw hot peppers to your oil. You can add lemon slices, herbs, you name it. Imagination is your only limitation. I often use lemon peel, thyme and rosemary in evoo.
Edited by Laurie_Ann on 12/03/2006 18:39:47 MST.
The best non-boutique full-flavored OO in our area is Carapelli Premium. Their greenest oil."For Dipping bread"...Whatever brand, look on the label for "first cold pressing" if you want the most olive-y flavor. Bottle colors can throw you off.But if you are looking for an olive oil that might be more versatile, for fried desserts say, that's where the more refined, less olivey - generally lighter in color - products come in.
Paul, are you saying that greener oil means first press, and as it gets more toward the yellow spectrum it may be second, third or more press (assuming the bottle is clear)? Is this true for all EVOO? If so that's a great tip. I do recall having two of the same brand of EVOO side by side and seeing a noticeable differance in color and both bottles were supposed to be the exact same thing. Perhaps this was just a differance in production runs. Much like the differance in paint color when bought at differant times.
you'll find that many of the more expensive olive oils are in dark bottles so that there is less light contact with the oilthe light olive oil is okay for cooking when you don't want a strong flavor
I just wanted to say thanks to all the people that helped with my questions. I guess I just don't have the pallet for raw olive oil. EVOO or otherwise. I'll just have to try experimenting with flavoring the oil from now on. Let the fun begin.
There sure is a lot of opinion out there...but it is after all a matter of taste. People often talk about the "fruity" taste of expensive extra-virgin oils...I've never found one that tasted fruity...many of them seem a bit bitter. BTW green color is not a guide, according to one prominent italian chef (Giovanni Bugialli, I think) who says that makers often put in powdered leaves to give it a green color. So go with what tastes good to you. I must be a slob, or at least a non-gourmet, because the cheap ones, even the ones labeled "light" taste fine to me, because they have less of a distinctive character. Which is fine for drinking. Yes, drinking. Its a fine source of energy. Sicilian farmers often begin their day with a wine-glass full of olive oil. There must be several hundred calories in a serving like that, and they can go all day on it.
Thanks for your opinion and info on oil and it's color, William. I guess I'm in the minority on liking the taste of olive oil. I'll give the light oil a try. I have some in my pantry for it's high smoking point.I notice grape seed oil on the market. It seems to be getting more popular mostly for it's high smoking point. It seems to have the same amount of calories as EVOO (120 calories per tablespoon). Has anyone tried it? My guess is that when it comes to taste, oil is oil, with the exception of it's subtle notes (very subjective).
Duane, you should the oils made from walnuts, hazelnuts, etc. Small bottles of pricey and tasty fun ;-)
truffle oil is a really nice addition to some dishes
So what exactly DOES that bottle of "extra virgin" olive oil contain? http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/id/QAA365370
Since my initial post I heard an interview with a local olive grower who explained more in fifteen minutes than everything I'd known previously about growing olives and making oil. The parallels with wine and the wine industry are very strong, and I'll speculate that we in the States will be seeing more domestic oils available, with labeling that will be more decipherable than the European ones.Just like wine.Here's a link to a short paper on olive oil by a UC Davis professor (the same school that helped create the US wine industry):http://cesonoma.ucdavis.edu/HORTIC/variety_maturity_influences.pdfSince oil production has switched to centrifuges, it seems as though the historical references to first and second pressings, etc. are no longer relevant. There's nothing left over to re-process. There are evidently five makers of these machines in the world, and all are built in Italy. The grower I heard interviewed said there are something like three dozen parameters to adjust on the machine he imported, all based on the specific batch of fruit being processed.He made three points worth repeating: 1) The quality of the oil begins with the quality of the fruit--you can't manupulate poor fruit to make good oil, and you have to know the correct way to process the fruit you do have to achieve its potential. 2) Early harvest produces strong-flavored oil; later harvest produces milder oil. 3) Oil is at its best the day it's pressed, and needs protection from light and oxygen to extend its useful life.How's that for straying from the topic?
Hi Rick,Interesting how there are parallels between the wine and olive oil. The same is true with Balsamic vinegars. I live in a city the has a very predominant Italian community so we have a great little Italian grocery store where you can see all of this. They have olive oils and vinegars for $8 right up to ones for $130. I love to just go and look at the different products. I'm also fortunate that my sister married an Italian guy who actually buys some of the more premium types of oils and he taught me some of the differences. He did this with wines as well. It was a great learning experience for me. I find all of this very fascinating.

POTSDAM Friday nights ECAC Hockey contest against Brown University was another frustrating and confusing home game for the Clarkson University mens hockey team.
Clarkson fell 3-2 to the Bears before 2,121 fans, giving the Golden Knights four straight losses at home and dropping Clarksons record in Cheel Arena to 1-7-1 this season, 1-8-1 if you include a loss to Carleton University in an exhibition game.
The Golden Knights led twice in Fridays game, but never could get a two-goal lead against the Bears (5-6-4 overall, 1-3-4 ECAC Hockey). And Clarkson again struggled on offense, producing two or fewer goals for a fourth straight game.
Were having a hard time generating offense right now, Clarkson coach Casey Jones said. Every mistake we make is magnified because we have trouble scoring goals. We have to get ourselves in dirty areas and do some simple things to try to generate some offense. Were trying to evolve. In December, with the St. Lawrence games, I thought we were starting to create something and do some things. Now were gripping the stick and doing some things I had not seen in a while. We have to persevere and get through this.
The Golden Knights (4-11-5, 3-4-1) got off to a good start when Matt Zarbo scored just 2 minutes, 3 seconds into the game on a shot from along the boards that hit the glove of Brown goalie Anthony Borelli, who grew up around the corner from Zarbo in Grand Island, and trickled into the net.
Everyone was pretty excited, Zarbo said. We jumped out to the early lead and thats what youre looking for. But it did not turn out the way we wanted it too. Its important to try to put teams away, and we havent been able to do that this year.
Brown answered the goal when Ryan Jacobson got a pass from Mark Naclerio and put the shot into an open corner of the net at 7:47 of the first period.
Its a tough one because that first (Clarkson goal) is squirrely, Whittet said. Nine out of 10 times thats not going in the net at all. With a young group, a fragile group, a team that had not won a game, even though its the first shift, that can crush a team. Our guys battled back really hard. As the game progressively wore on, I thought we got a lot better.
Defenseman Sam Labrecque scored on a quick pass from behind the goal line from Jeff DiNallo to give Clarkson a 2-1 lead at 11:54 of the first period, but the Bears responded with a second goal from Jacobson at 17:41 of the first period, on the only power play of the game, to tie the score 2-2.
I got some lucky bounces, which is nice, Jacobson said. Ive been in a little bit of a slump. Those were great passes. I just tapped them in.
Late in the second period Brown began to take control of the game and kept the puck in Clarksons zone for most of the final three minutes, finally scoring with 45.4 seconds left on a shot from Matt Harlow to close out the scoring.
The goal came just after a faceoff and Jones was trying to make a line change but was denied by the officials, even though the home team is supposed to get the final change.
I was really disappointed at that stage of the game that he wouldnt afford me a line change, Jones said of one of the officials. I thought (Brown) had momentum at that point and time of the game. That was the stage of the game where they had a good push and we were trying to survive.
Potsdam 4, WNE 3 (OT)
SPRINGFIELD, MASS. Junior forward Adam Place (Scarborough, Ontario) scored with 31 seconds left in overtime to give the SUNY Potsdam mens hockey team (6-8-1) a 4-3 victory over Western New England (6-7) on Friday night. Potsdam freshman goaltender Jon Hall (Dexter, N.Y.) made 33 saves to earn his first collegiate win.
Junior forward Zach Blake (Campbellford, Ontario) got Potsdam on the board with a power-play tally at the 5:48 mark of the first period. Senior captain Matt Viola (Toronto, Ontario/) and sophomore defenseman Erick Ware (Huntsville, Ala.) assisted on the goal. Just 14 seconds later, junior assistant captain Mike Arnold (Didsbury, Alberta/) scored with an assist from sophomore defenseman Dan McCamey (Dayton, Ohio/). At 11:11, freshman forward Billy Pascalli (Deer Park, N.Y.) made it 3-0 Bears on helpers from Place and junior assistant captain Nick Avgerinos (Bolton, Ontario/). The Golden Bears finally broke through with a power-play tally from William Preston. Potsdam led 3-1 at the break.
After tight play midway through he second period, Chris Connors scored an even strength goal to make it a 3-2 contest. Six minutes later, Connors struck again to tie the score at 3-3. Western New England outshot the Bears 13-11 in the second period. The score was knotted at 3-3 after 40 minutes.
In overtime the Bears outshot Western New England 4-2. With less than a minute left in the extra five minutes, Viola forced a neutral zone turnover and fed Place. Place carried the puck into the zone and roofed it over Carr for the game-winner. Ware notched the second assist on the play.
Tim Carr finished with 35 saves. The Bears are back in action todau when they head down the Mass Pike to Worcester to battle Becker College at 3:30 p.m.

A new perspective by Amy on November 7, 2014
Do you have pets in your home or know someone who does? Make sure you follow some easy tips in the event your home experiences a fire, tornado, hurricane or some other event that puts their lives and yours in jeopardy.
Plan For Safety
Have a plan in place for all family members, human and pet alike. Practice your plan and make sure even the smallest and furry ones are involved.
- Make sure your pet has a collar with an ID tag and also a microchip. This is in the event you aren't at home during an incident, your pet gets lost, takes off due to fear or for any other reason rescue teams can find you to return you pet. Collars help when having to leave a place quickly and a need to grab onto your pet and go.
- Keep a dog leash accessible in more than one spot of your home for just such an event.
- Pets can get scared when a fire truck or other emergency vehicles are around and noisy. Make sure to put them on a leash and with you at all times.
- Make sure that you have enough smoke detectors that are active and replace the batteries regularly. Some people change them with the time changing twice per year and some even do it once a month as a precaution.
- You may want to consider installing a carbon monoxide detector too. You may already have a smoke detector and carbon monoxide combination unit.
- Consider purchasing a safety escape ladder. Make sure each person knows what route to take from each room or if a fire blocks them in a certain area.
- Buy a kid and pet window cling stickers to help rescue teams become aware pets and kids are a part of your home.
- Always make sure windows are operational in case they are needed.
If you have a cat, it may be helpful to go to http://thebestcatlitterbox.com to find anything and everything you need to meet your cats' needs.
Never take a battery out of your smoke detector to use for something else because you don't know when you might need for it to work with an emergency. And don't postpone being able to properly identify your pet and at a minimum make sure they wear a collar with an ID tag if you're not going to microchip your pet.

I finished my challenge. It's funny how during these past two weeks I've wondered 1) why I chose such an easy challenge, and 2) OMG HOW AM I EVER GOING TO FINISH THIS IS TOO MUCH KNITTING TO DO IN SUCH A SHORT TIME PERIOD WITH ALL OF LIFE'S OTHER COMMITMENTS AND PRIORITIES. Yeah.
Actually, the hardest thing was getting everyone on board for the group picture. But I have a tripod! And a remote! So it wasn't that bad. The kids like the one with the cat.
And I like the close up shot, even if it is out of focus.
When we did this in 2008, I had my little point and shoot camera balancing on a pile of things on top of the picnic table. It's really a miracle that this picture exists at all. But I love it, and I'm glad we have an updated family picture. Nothing like a superbowl knitting challenge to bring us together in front of the camera.
My mitts were the last ones that I knit and I finished them yesterday morning. I was so angry at the weather for raining and therefore extending the time required for them to dry after blocking. But I am glad I blocked them because holy wow, Ultra Alpaca knit at such a tight gauge needed to be blocked.
All that's left is to watch the game! GO GIANTS!

I simply know that it takes 2-4 weeks (maybe more)
for those special fatty acids to replace the 'standard'
original ones in phospholipids of cell membranes and
lead to anti-aggregating & anti-inflammatory effects.
Accordingly, when you stop assuming them in your diet,
those effects persist for a few weeks.
This is what I remember from the first studies in '80s.
Some immediate anti-inflammatory effects after experi-
-mental intravenous administration have been reported.
I should check this 'cause it is just a vague memory...
You could read CLO topic and find other bits and pieces!
Maybe this has something to do with all of this as well, in terms of oil production from irritation as well? I foresee even more results in the next week or two
I've experienced great results with fish oil + resveratrol, since I started them both at the same time I can't tell which one is doing the most but I'd say its the fish oil. Since I started basically 90% of my oil production has decreased, however I am taking doses way higher than what many other people have tried. I'm running 24-28g of fish oil which is about 10g of EPA/DHA a day. See my thread here if interested.
That is very interesting, but 24 grams seems way too much, isn't that overdose? Have you found any links as to what can happen if you take that much?
its probably really good for you, and i wouldnt be that worried because youve been overdosing on the bad stuff since the day you were born, you got nothing to lose!!!

The Los Alamos Hilltopper girls soccer team again took a District 2AAAA opponent to the woodshed.
Los Alamos, which is well on its way to earning another district title, crushed the Capital Jaguars 10-0 at home Saturday. It closed out the contest just eight minutes to the second half via the mercy rule.
With the victory, Los Alamos remains a perfect 3-0 in district (6-8 overall) and is halfway to clinching a berth to the Class AAAA state tournament.
The Hilltoppers scored seven times in the first half Saturday at Sullivan Field, then scored the game's final three goals in a three minute span, including the final two within a few seconds of each other.
Los Alamos head coach Jiri Kubicek said he would've liked to see his team get out to a little quicker start than it did against Capital, but he was glad his team turned it on midway through the second half and didn't have any letdowns.
Hilltopper Amy Neal scored four goals, three in a seven-minute span during the first half, and was credited with an assist on a goal by Shannon Blair. Lindsay Benage scored twice, including popping in the game winner off a direct kick in the 48th minute, and earned an assist.

armed with a degree in theology, over the years i have come up with specific questions to ask of christians.
indeed i even attend "alpha courses" (introductory courses to becoming a christian) and put these questions to the hosts (usually under the guise of "well i'm thinking of becoming a christian but i have some questions...)
confrontation and causing offense gets you nowhere. also being impolite just reinforces their smug assertion that atheists are angry.
the question i have had most success with at putting people on the spot goes like this...
"a priest rapes a choirboy. the choirboy becomes depressed and traumatized, rejects jesus and the church (understandably), turns to drugs, dies young and spends an eternity in hell, unsaved and condemned by god.
the priest repents on his deathbed, embraces christ, is forgiven and spends forever in heaven.
by what measure can we consider this to be justice?"
i'm hoping that this question might one day become a meme, so that anyone who brings up the subject of christianity is immediately reminded of this question and has an answer demanded of them.
i have many other questions like this that cannot be simply swatted away with theology, mystery or dogma.
i'd be happy to share them with anyone who is interested.
thanks for reading, let me know if it has an impact on anyone you ask.
Views: 2209
Awesome. I will use that on my next door-knocker. Just great.
I'd love to hear more, too. There are a lot of door-knockers around here. ^_^
great! glad you like it. try this one:
"the whole premise of christian theology breaks down on the very first page. god tells adam and eve not to eat of the tree of knowledge as to relinquish their innocence and learn right from wrong. in order to obey god's command, they have to make a moral decision, based on a knowledge of right and wrong, WHICH THEY DON'T HAVE!
isn't this a bit like putting a kitten in a wool factory then blaming it for playing with the wool?"
i got loads of these, door knockers have become a plaything of mine recently. just make them a cup of tea before asking the questions so they can't make their excuses and leave in a hurry...
I do the same. It's amusing to see the look on their faces when they see my "Bible Bookshelf". I have a lot of books (two walls of my dining room are lined with bookshelves), and one whole shelf is Bibles, a Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, "Who's Who and Where's Where in the Bible", the Atlas of the Bible, the Book of Judas... I still keep forgetting to order my free Book of Mormon.
The Adam and Eve vs. Moral Dilemma is pretty common and too easily brushed off with a "God's will" thing, even if you relate it to Pandora's Box.
Of course, I'm dealing with amateurs for the most part. I mentioned Osiris to the last one and she asked me if that was the god I worshiped and where my church was. I told her "In Egypt 3000 years ago" and she just smiled and nodded.
they're all amateurs.
as mark twain said, "if you could reason with religious folk they'd be no religious folk."
Maybe you can't "reason" with them but you can certainly lead them. In some cases they've just put their trust in the wrong people and in trusting they aren't being misled, they've never had cause to think deeply about their "beliefs." Some of these people can be shown the light.
I have had religious friends that I have discussed these topics with on a rational level. At least one of them later rejected his religious beliefs after a period of such discussions. Many smart religious people are religious for non-smart reasons to paraphrase Michael Shermer. That was definitely the case for this friend.
These questions bother Christians too. They bothered me a lot when I was younger. I was raised a Christian myself.
I think that's mostly true (and mark twain was brilliant), but it was the rational arguments of an atheist friend that planted the seeds of doubt that eventually lead to my freedom from religion. She didn't hide her frustration with religion or dumb down her arguments, but she was polite and sympathetic with the fact that it was hard for me to accept what she had to say. It took a long time and there were other factors that helped lead to my atheism, but it started with reasonable arguments that eventually got threw my defenses despite my resistance.
nice one!
Not the only example that shows that the doctrine of "salvation through faith alone" is completely immoral.
If there has to be religion, I much prefer the Asian ones that emphasize good deeds and behavior throughout life
thanks for replying.
indeed it is of course not the only example but i find that when phrased this way it has a way of cutting straight to the point.
if they admit that it is unfair then they have to say that god is unfair.
if they say that it is fair...
run like hell.
i like to ask them why god chose some obscure tribe in a barren land to reveal his greatness when there were other civilizations far more advanced to which he could have gotten his 'universal' message to the most people in one attempt. i also find it very interesting that god has not 'revealed' himself in this age of instant access to all parts of the globe. should he just do that, he would have no problem getting all 7 billion of us to accept his claims, but, that may be asking him to actually be involved in his 'creation' now wouldn't it?
did god not know that his plan would cause untold suffering and wars for thousands of years and that many would kill and be killed in his name for his cause? and he seems to have no issue with that, as long as someone still believes? does that make you feel like a lab rat like it does me?
just a few ramblings :D
indeed it is a good point to ask them "why judea? why 1st century?". i think i heard hitch using it in his debates.
i used to ask it of christians a lot myself. now such questions feel like arguing over the details, and in doing so tacitly admitting their might be an intellectual discussion to be had.
the questions i ask now have no reasonable answers at all, and that's what makes them so effective.
your question of the pain and suffering caused by his creation is answered using theology of free-will and the problem of evil. not real answers but good enough for those who need to believe.

A recent piece of mine from Diner's Journal that seems worthy of repeating. -mb
I look forward each year to that first batch of pesto, which is something I honestly believe cannot be made with the insipid basil of winter, no matter where it comes from. Great basil cannot be grown in a greenhouse, and cannot be grown out of season. In this, it's like the tomato. (The so-called vine-ripened tomatoes invented in Holland may be redder than the orange plastic-wrapped specimens of my youth, but they don't taste any better.)
Which brings me to the story of Pra. I once was on assignment to write about pesto, and traveled to Genoa, Italy. (Actually, it's not quite as glamorous as that: I once was in Genoa, and persuaded an editor to let me write about pesto.) And I went to some typical Genovese restaurant, and was shown how to make pesto in a mortar and pestle; frankly, it was good if not great (and as for the necessity for a mortar and pestle, feh — it's about the basil, not about the technique).

The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Mealsby Michael Pollan
Staff Pick
True or false: One out of every four items for sale in the average American supermarket contains corn? (Think, think, think...) Believe it or not, it's true. If this unsettles you — or just plain doesn't make sense — pick up a copy of Michael Pollan's latest, which will change the way you think about nutrition and health. Pollan starts out by identifying the three principal food chains that sustain contemporary Americans. Two of them, the organic and the hunter-gatherer, have been around for a long, long time. The third, however, the industrial food chain, suddenly accounts for the bulk of our diet. The "omnivore's dilemma," we learn, refers to anxiety that accompanies an excess of options; specifically, when you can eat everything, what should you eat? One thing this book makes clear: if we are what we eat, it's getting so we hardly know ourselves at all.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The bestselling author of The Botany of Desire explores the ecology of eating to unveil why we consume what we consume in the twenty-first century.
"What should we have for dinner?" To one degree or another this simple question assails any creature faced with a wide choice of things to eat. Anthropologists call it the omnivore's dilemma. Choosing from among the countless potential foods nature offers, humans have had to learn what is safe, and what isn't — which mushrooms should be avoided, for example, and which berries we can enjoy. Today, as America confronts what can only be described as a national eating disorder, the omnivore's dilemma has returned with an atavistic vengeance. The cornucopia of the modern American supermarket and fast-food outlet has thrown us back on a bewildering landscape where we once again have to worry about which of those tasty-looking morsels might kill us. At the same time we're realizing that our food choices also have profound implications for the health of our environment. The Omnivore's Dilemma is bestselling author Michael Pollan's brilliant and eye-opening exploration of these little-known but vitally important dimensions of eating in America.
Pollan has divided The Omnivore's Dilemma into three parts, one for each of the food chains that sustain us: industrialized food, alternative or "organic" food, and food people obtain by dint of their own hunting, gathering, or gardening. Pollan follows each food chain literally from the ground up to the table, emphasizing our dynamic coevolutionary relationship with the species we depend on. He concludes each section by sitting down to a meal — at McDonald's, at home with his family sharing a dinner from Whole Foods, and in a revolutionary "beyond organic" farm in Virginia. For each meal he traces the provenance of everything consumed, revealing the hidden components we unwittingly ingest and explaining how our taste for particular foods reflects our environmental and biological inheritance.
We are indeed what we eat — and what we eat remakes the world. A society of voracious and increasingly confused omnivores, we are just beginning to recognize the profound consequences of the simplest everyday food choices, both for ourselves and for the natural world. The Omnivore's Dilemma is a long-overdue book and one that will become known for bringing a completely fresh perspective to a question as ordinary and yet momentous as What shall we have for dinner?
Pollan (The Botany of Desire) examines what he calls "our national eating disorder" (the Atkins craze, the precipitous rise in obesity) in this remarkably clearheaded book. It's a fascinating journey up and down the food chain, one that might change the way you read the label on a frozen dinner, dig into a steak or decide whether to buy organic eggs. You'll certainly never look at a Chicken McNugget the same way again.Pollan approaches his mission not as an activist but as a naturalist: "The way we eat represents our most profound engagement with the natural world." All food, he points out, originates with plants, animals and fungi. "[E]ven the deathless Twinkie is constructed out of... well, precisely what I don't know offhand, but ultimately some sort of formerly living creature, i.e., a species. We haven't yet begun to synthesize our foods from petroleum, at least not directly."Pollan's narrative strategy is simple: he traces four meals back to their ur-species. He starts with a McDonald's lunch, which he and his family gobble up in their car. Surprise: the origin of this meal is a cornfield in Iowa. Corn feeds the steer that turns into the burgers, becomes the oil that cooks the fries and the syrup that sweetens the shakes and the sodas, and makes up 13 of the 38 ingredients (yikes) in the Chicken McNuggets.Indeed, one of the many eye-openers in the book is the prevalence of corn in the American diet; of the 45,000 items in a supermarket, more than a quarter contain corn. Pollan meditates on the freakishly protean nature of the corn plant and looks at how the food industry has exploited it, to the detriment of everyone from farmers to fat-and-getting-fatter Americans. Besides Stephen King, few other writers have made a corn field seem so sinister.Later, Pollan prepares a dinner with items from Whole Foods, investigating the flaws in the world of "big organic"; cooks a meal with ingredients from a small, utopian Virginia farm; and assembles a feast from things he's foraged and hunted.This may sound earnest, but Pollan isn't preachy: he's too thoughtful a writer, and too dogged a researcher, to let ideology take over. He's also funny and adventurous. He bounces around on an old International Harvester tractor, gets down on his belly to examine a pasture from a cow's-eye view, shoots a wild pig and otherwise throws himself into the making of his meals. I'm not convinced I'd want to go hunting with Pollan, but I'm sure I'd enjoy having dinner with him. Just as long as we could eat at a table, not in a Toyota. Pamela Kaufman, Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Michael Pollan is a voice of reason, a journalist/philosopher who forages in the overgrowth of our schizophrenic food culture. He's the kind of teacher we probably all wish we had: one who triggers the little explosions of insight that change the way we eat and the way we live." Alice Waters, owner of Chez Panisse restaurant
"Michael Pollan is such a thoroughly delightful writer — his luscious sentences deliver so much pleasure and humor and surprise as they carry one from dinner table to corn field to feed lot to forest floor, and then back again — that the happy reader could almost miss the profound truth half hidden at the heart of this beautiful book: that the reality of our politics is to be found not in what Americans do in the voting booth every four years but in what we do in the supermarket every day. Embodied in this irresistible, picaresque journey through America's food world is a profound treatise on the hidden politics of our everyday life." Mark Danner, author of Torture and Truth: America, Abu Ghraib and the War on Terror
"Every time you go into a grocery store you are voting with your dollars, and what goes into your cart has real repercussions on the future of the earth. But although we have choices, few of us are aware of exactly what they are. Michael Pollan's beautifully written book could change that. He tears down the walls that separate us from what we eat, and forces us to be more responsible eaters. Reading this book is a wonderful, life-changing experience." Ruth Reichl, Editor in Chief of Gourmet magazine and author of Garlic and Sapphires: The Secret Life of a Critic in Disguise
"What should you eat? Michael Pollan addresses that fundamental question with great wit and intelligence, looking at the social, ethical, and environmental impact of four different meals. Eating well, he finds, can be a pleasurable way to change the world." Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation and Reefer Madness: Sex, Drugs, and Cheap Labor in the American Black Market
"His book is an eater's manifesto, and he touches on a vast array of subjects, from food fads and taboos to our avoidance of not only our food's animality, but also our own. Along the way, he is alert to his own emotions and thoughts, to see how they affect what he does and what he eats, to learn more and to explain what he knows. His approach is steeped in honesty and self-awareness. His cause is just, his thinking is clear, and his writing is compelling." Bunny Crumpacker, The Washington Post
"The main contribution of Omnivore's Dilemma is its scope and rigor. I know of no other book that delivers a broader picture of the U.S. food scene, how it got the way it is, and how it's changing.... [A]n important book, sweeping through broad ground with impressive primary and secondary research." Grist magazine
"Pollan is an engaging companion, whether he's diving for abalone, collecting wild yeast, or musing about American gullibility. And his message is compelling. After reading the book, you will want to change how you eat." BusinessWeek
The New York Times bestseller that blew the lid off the fast food industry—exposing how they've malled our landscapes, widened the gap between rich and poor, fueled an epidemic of obesity, and propelled American cultural imperialism abroad—now includes a new Afterword from the masterful muckraker (who started it all), Eric Schlosser.
New York Times Bestseller,
With a New Afterword
"Schlosser has a flair for dazzling scene-setting and an arsenal of startling facts . . . Fast Food Nation points the way but, to resurrect an old fast food slogan, the choice is yours."—Los Angeles Times
In 2001, Fast Food Nation was published to critical acclaim and became an international bestseller. Eric Schlossers exposé revealed how the fast food industry has altered the landscape of America, widened the gap between rich and poor, fueled an epidemic of obesity, and transformed food production throughout the world. The book changed the way millions of people think about what they eat and helped to launch todays food movement.
In a new afterword for this edition, Schlosser discusses the growing interest in local and organic food, the continued exploitation of poor workers by the food industry, and the need to ensure that every American has access to good, healthy, affordable food. Fast Food Nation is as relevant today as it was a decade ago. The book inspires readers to look beneath the surface of our food system, consider its impact on society and, most of all, think for themselves.
"As disturbing as it is irresistible . . . Exhaustively researched, frighteningly convincing . . . channeling the spirits of Upton Sinclair and Rachel Carson."—San Francisco Chronicle
"Schlosser shows how the fast food industry conquered both appetite and landscape."—The New Yorker
Eric Schlosser is a contributing editor for the Atlantic and the author of Fast Food Nation, Reefer Madness, and Chew on This (with Charles Wilson).
One of the New York Times Book Review's Ten Best Books of the Year
Winner of the James Beard Award
Author of #1 New York Times Bestsellers In Defense of Food and Food Rules
Today, buffeted by one food fad after another, America is suffering from what can only be described as a national eating disorder. Will it be fast food tonight, or something organic? Or perhaps something we grew ourselves? The question of what to have for dinner has confronted us since man discovered fire. But as Michael Pollan explains in this revolutionary book, how we answer it now, as the dawn of the twenty-first century, may determine our survival as a species. Packed with profound surprises, The Omnivore's Dilemma is changing the way Americans thing about the politics, perils, and pleasures of eating.
"Thoughtful, engrossing ... You're not likely to get a better explanation of exactly where your food comes from."
-The New York Times Book Review
"An eater's manifesto ... [Pollan's] cause is just, his thinking is clear, and his writing is compelling. Be careful of your dinner!"
-The Washington Post
"Outstanding... a wide-ranging invitation to think through the moral ramifications of our eating habits."
--The New Yorker
"If you ever thought 'what's for dinner' was a simple question, you'll change your mind after reading Pollan's searing indictment of today's food industry-and his glimpse of some inspiring alternatives.... I just loved this book so much I didn't want it to end."
-The Seattle Times

VOLKL Cyclone 17G Neon Yellow Tennis String
List Price: $10.00 Sale Price:
Our staff has not reviewed this product yet.
Offering more spin and feel than its thicker 1.30 version to go along with surprising playability, Volkl Cyclone 1.25 is now available in Yellow and features a highly geometric gear shape, which combines with co-polyester construction. The multi-sided shape features significant ridges, which help to really bite the ball and result in the ability to generate tremendous amounts of spin. As with many shaped strings, Cyclone uses a block co-polyester construction providing a combination of different properties of unique materials. The advantage to this construction is that every aspect of performance in a string can be tuned by altering the block associated with it. The overall effect is that this string offers enhanced ball speed, improved control, and most importantly, incredible spin as compared to typical polyester strings. We found that this string performed best from the baseline for hard hitting, heavy spin players, but still provides enough feel for the occasional trip to the net.
Construction: Monofilament Co-polyester
Color: Neon Yellow
Gauge: 1.25mm

At the risk of understating it, we must say that the whole office is quite enthused about our November Do It Yourself story! In addition to the fact that the resulting product is totally spot-on and wonderfully stylish, it also manages to kill two birds with one stone by combining two of the biggest fall runway trends! Inspired by the fanciful knits from the Valentino F/W 11 collection, this lovely projects melds the season's wildly popular crewneck sweater with the perfect amount of textured lace detailing, making it a must-have piece for all wardrobes this winter and a natural subject for our next D.I.Y. adventure!
The Valentino F/W 11 show played out, as usual, like a fashion lover's dream, filled with everything from glamorous day dresses in pretty pastel hues to breathtakingly beautiful textured gowns! Designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli didn't disappoint when it came to their more casual designs either, like the Lace-Appliqued Merino Wool-Blend Sweater ($1890), shown above. We were immediately taken by the casual-yet-completely-chic navy sweater, and were particularly fond of the way Chiuri and Piccioli styled it with a tiered lace skirt and ankle-strap heels for an au courant ladylike ensemble. The subtle lace detailing not only gives the otherwise understated piece some visual intrigue, but it also lends itself to a more feminine, dressier look overall! So whether you decide to pair it with jeans for a weekend outing or a silk maxi skirt for a knockout evening outfit, we're positive this appliquéd knit will become a go-to in your closet!
Now, while the exact Valentino sweater is quite dreamy indeed, we understand the accompanying price tag is a bit steep, especially for those of us who have a fall wardrobe budget to stick to! As such, we set out to create our own version, and called upon D.I.Y genius Erica Domesek, of P.S. I Made This, to show us the way. With an hour to spare, a few simple ingredients, and five easy-to-follow steps, Domesek managed to create a nearly identical Valentino-inspired sweater at a fraction of the cost. We're crazy for the black-on-black version she put together here, but it should be noted that the color options are endless, so you have the opportunity to really personalize the sweater and make it your own. Happy crafting!
-American Apparel's Fisherman Sweater ($78)
-1-2 yards of Wide French Lace ($25/yard)
-Paper and Pen (to make pattern)
-Chalk (to outline pattern if desired)
-Dritz Home Unique Stitch Fabric Glue ($4)
-3-inch Foam Brush ($.50)
Before you begin, make sure to clear a large surface so that you can lay your sweater down flat on your workspace.
1. Draw and cut out a circular pattern, which will be used to block out the center area of the sweater. The pattern should be placed approximately 2-3 inches below the neckline and approximately 5 inches from the bottom of the sweater. (Please note: the shape doesn't have to be a perfect circle, and the size will be determined by the size of the size of the sweater's center).
2. Cover the surface of your sweater (minus the sleeves) with the lace then pin the pattern you create on top of the lace.
3. Cut the lace around the pattern. Once completed, remove the pattern and excess pieces so that the lace only remains on the outside edges of your sweater.
4. With the foam brush, apply a thin layer of fabric glue on the sweater, wherever you want the lace to adhere. Pat the lace down on the sweater and wait approximately 30 minutes or until completely dry.
5. Trim any excess lace that is hanging off of the edges of your sweater for a clean look.

What Is Your Idea?
Which of our artists would you want us to feature in an interview like that again?
Over the last couple of months we have published an interview series featuring the original James Brown drummers Clyde Stubblefield and Jabo Starks. I hope you got lots of inspiration from that documentary. And for your enjoyable viewing experience, here are all six episodes one after another.
A few days ago I asked myself which one of our artists should be next to be featured in an extensive interview series? Who would have something to tell that we could present in such form again?
Therefore my question to all of you: Which of our artists would you want us to feature in an interview like that? If you have any ideas I would love to hear them.
Thanks for your input. I look forward to hearing from you.

It would be a great idea to pick some artists from totally different genres (Jazz, Metal, Latin) and let them discuss about a certain subject such as "what is groove?", "what let you grow as a musician?" etc.... So that would then have more a character of a round table.
Renovatio06 posted on Feb 15, 2014 - 10:55 AM
Chris Coleman and/or Wolfgang Haffner. The first for a "backstage" look into what it's like to work with the likes of Chaka Khan, Prince etc., the latter for his own work as a composer and sideman in many contemporary projects.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Wrapping up a five-game road swing, the Lipscomb men's basketball team opens the New Year with a 6:15 p.m. tilt at Atlantic Sun Conference foe Jacksonville at the Jacksonville Veterans Municipal Auditorium.
The Bisons (5-7, 0-1 A-Sun) are coming off an 84-70 loss at North Florida on Monday afternoon that saw a veteran Osprey club pull away in the final seven minutes of action. Jacksonville (6-8, 1-0 A-Sun) on the other hand managed to down league newcomer Northern Kentucky 53-51 on a pair of free throws with 1.8 seconds remaining.
LU sophomore forward Malcolm Smith posted an 18-point, 13-rebound effort against UNF upping his scoring average to 12 points per game just behind twin brother Martin, who lead the Bisons with 12.7 points per outing. Redshirt freshman Stephen Hurt is adding 10.8 points per night along with senior Deonte Alexander, who rounds out the Bisons in double figures with a 10.1 average each game.
The Jacksonville offense that averages 65.9 points a game is led by freshman guard Jarvis Haywood, who averages 10.8 points per game as the only Dolphin in double figures.
The Bisons look to extend a two-game winning streak against the Dolphins.
The contest will be shown live on http://www.asun.tv and will air on 102.5 The Light with Jonathan Seamon on the call.
