Orioles manager Buck Showalter and first baseman Reynolds were ejected after a call on Tigers shortstop Jhonny Peralta was reversed, ruling Reynolds' foot to be off the bag. The initial ruling by first-base umpire Jeff Kellogg was out but, the call was overturned several moments later after Peralta argued and Kellogg conferred with home-plate umpire Tim Timmons.
Reynolds spiked his glove and was immediately ejected, then was pushed aside by an angry Showalter, who was also tossed. Reynolds didn't hold back in his post-game interview. Here's what he said..
[on the play] "First of all, Manny made a hell of a play. Tough throw and I stayed on the bag and that's why I got so upset. I don't understand how an umpire can miss a play at home plate that's right in front of him and see that play from home plate at first base. It's embarrassing that they would overturn a call that obviously has an impact on the game in the middle of the pennant race. Obviously by the way I acted, it's very frustrating. I've never seen it in my life an umpire reverse a call after the right call is made. And it's obviously on the replay I kept my foot on the bag. I was pretty mad."
[shocked?] "Definitely. I've never in my life seen someone reverse a call. The guy in Colorado, the guy was off the bag by three feet. And my foot was on the bag and they reversed it. And it's a shame they don't have accountability. They don't have any, if they make a bad call it's like, 'Ho-hum, next day is coming.' If we have a bad couple of games we get benched or we get sent down. They have nobody breathing down their throats. They have nobody, they are just secure in their jobs. And they are probably over there right now laughing about it because they don't worry about it. This game is way too important right now, where we are in the season, for these kind of calls to happen. And it's very frustrating."
[on being ejected after spiking his glove] "That's terrible. Vic [Carapazza] has no authority to throw me out right there. all I did was an equipment violation, it's a fine. You are supposed to point at it and the league offices decide what to do there. He just threw me out right there. I didn't do anything wrong. If I go up to him and say something to him, that I shouldn't say. That's fine, throw me out there for that. But you can't throw me out for throwing my glove. What's the difference between a guy throwing his helmet after a bad call? It's just part of it and everybody goes on their way. He had no right to throw me out there. There's just so many words I can't say on this camera right now."
[on how tough this was to handle] "It's almost like screw the Orioles by the umpires. I mean Jonsie was obviously safe at first base the other day, cost us a run against Boston. There's got to be some kind of replay for this. It's to the point where all these calls that get missed, cost people runs, cost people outs. Cost [starter Tommy Hunter] extra pitches. I can't say how I really feel but it's pretty obvious."
And here's the umpire reactions
Jeff Kellogg (First base umpire and crew chief)
[on the play] "I went to the home plate umpire, who was coming up the line – Tim Timmons – I knew he was going to have a look at the edge of that bag coming up the line."
Tim Timmons (Home plate umpire)
"From when I saw the throw coming across, I knew that the throw was going to pull the first baseman that way. And at that point, that's when I actually stopped and dropped anchor and looked for the foot. And when I saw the foot come up, the heel and the toe was on the bag. .. At the time he was going to glove the ball, when I saw the bottom of the whole foot and the foot dropped down onto the ground and I had daylight, I had him off the bag."
"We just want to get the play right and that's what we did there," Kellog said. As to why he originally looked to Timmons, "The runner said something, the first base coach said something, [Tigers manager Jim] Leyland came out there."

Buzz: When A New CBA Would Need To Be Ratified To Get 82 Games In
Elliotte Friedman sent out a tweet indicating that if the NHL gets it's way and the 82 game season is saved and starts on November 2, the new CBA would need to be ratified by the end of next week.
"Thinking out loud: if NHL wants to start season Nov. 2, deal (including ratification by both sides) would probably need to be done by next FRI. There's a lot to be done over next few days. "
5:17PM: Pierre LeBrun tweets "Am told league offer also will allow teams to go over salary cap in Year 1 – up to $70 M max – as part of transition rules"
Adam Rotter: I think the owners pulled a strategic move with their proposal today and their claim to try and save the 82 game season. They have taken the "big" step and now it's on the players to take their step. I don't think we will see an 82 game season, there is still a lot of negotiating that needs to happen, but I am confident that we will see hockey this year and I think that a start date of Thanksgiving, or around then is entirely possible with a schedule of 60-65 games.

|Boone Council Hears Money Requests
|Written by Gary Childers
|Friday, 17 June 2011 08:57
Boone Town Council's Chambers were at full seating capacity for the public hearing on funding for Outside Agencies Thursday evening. Approximately eighteen people spoke before Town Council to express either thanks or disappointment concerning proposed funding levels for their respective agencies.
The Community Clinic and Hospitality House each had a representative present to thank the Council for their proposed funding. Mt. Alliance was well represented by Watauga High School student Sunny Fotta who thanked the Council for continuing their funding, by another student who read a letter of appreciation from a Mountain Alliance participant, and its advisory committee chairperson Tammy Jolly. Agencies with the largest contingencies present were the Public Library and Watauga Arts Council.

Reader Maryann e-mailed me to inquire about the drawer pulls we used in Ali's bathroom with the walnut cabinetry. The brand is Haefle and we love the look, we used them in all of our bathrooms and also in the bedroom built-in cabinet we had made. They do need to be notched at the top of the drawer so they sit flush on the cabinet so a little extra work is needed there. We chose them in a chrome plated polish but it looks like other finishes are available.
We ordered them through our cabinet makers, but I found them online at knobsandthings.com
Cost: $4.70 each
To get the same look in our laundry room, we used the Ikea's Strecket (shown below on the right) which come in at $3.99 a 2-pack. Much more economical. These look great with the Besta cabinets we installed in gloss white, really clean and simple. Granted they aren't of the same quality, but depending on what you're using them for, you can justify.
While checking out sources online, I came across this blog entry. Looks like we have the same love for the look.

The Carbon High Dinos baseball team fell to Desert Hills 12-3 in the class 3A state tournament.
The Dinos led the game 3-2 after five innings, but a series of errors, walks and hits allowed Desert Hills to blow the game wide open and move on to the semifinals.
For the Dinos, not all hope is lost. With the tournament following a double elimination format, Carbon enters the other side of the bracket with the other one loss teams. In order for Carbon to win the state championship, they must now win four straight games.
The Dinos will face the winner of Cedar/Bear River tomorrow at 1:30 p.m.

Findings and Purpose
Pub. L. 111–154, § 1(b), (c),Mar. 31, 2010, 124 Stat. 1087, 1088, provided that:
"(b) Findings.—Congress finds that—
"(1) the sale of illegal cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products significantly reduces Federal, State, and local government revenues, with Internet sales alone accounting for billions of dollars of lost Federal, State, and local tobacco tax revenue each year;
"(2) Hezbollah, Hamas, al Qaeda, and other terrorist organizations have profited from trafficking in illegal cigarettes or counterfeit cigarette tax stamps;
"(3) terrorist involvement in illicit cigarette trafficking will continue to grow because of the large profits such organizations can earn;
"(4) the sale of illegal cigarettes and smokeless tobacco over the Internet, and through mail, fax, or phone orders, makes it cheaper and easier for children to obtain tobacco products;
"(5) the majority of Internet and other remote sales of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco are being made without adequate precautions to protect against sales to children, without the payment of applicable taxes, and without complying with the nominal registration and reporting requirements in existing Federal law;
"(6) unfair competition from illegal sales of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco is taking billions of dollars of sales away from law-abiding retailers throughout the United States;
"(7) with rising State and local tobacco tax rates, the incentives for the illegal sale of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco have increased;
"(8) the number of active tobacco investigations being conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives rose to 452 in 2005;
"(9) the number of Internet vendors in the United States and in foreign countries that sell cigarettes and smokeless tobacco to buyers in the United States increased from only about 40 in 2000 to more than 500 in 2005; and
"(10) the intrastate sale of illegal cigarettes and smokeless tobacco over the Internet has a substantial effect on interstate commerce.
"(c) Purposes.—It is the purpose of this Act [see Short Title of 2010 Amendment note above] to—
"(1) require Internet and other remote sellers of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco to comply with the same laws that apply to law-abiding tobacco retailers;
"(2) create strong disincentives to illegal smuggling of tobacco products;
"(3) provide government enforcement officials with more effective enforcement tools to combat tobacco smuggling;
"(4) make it more difficult for cigarette and smokeless tobacco traffickers to engage in and profit from their illegal activities;
"(5) increase collections of Federal, State, and local excise taxes on cigarettes and smokeless tobacco; and
"(6) prevent and reduce youth access to inexpensive cigarettes and smokeless tobacco through illegal Internet or contraband sales."
Exclusions Regarding Indian Tribes and Tribal Matters
Pub. L. 111–154, § 5,Mar. 31, 2010, 124 Stat. 1109, provided that:
"(a) In General.—Nothing in this Act [see Short Title of 2010 Amendment note above] or the amendments made by this Act shall be construed to amend, modify, or otherwise affect—
"(1) any agreements, compacts, or other intergovernmental arrangements between any State or local government and any government of an Indian tribe (as that term is defined in section 4(e) of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 450b (e)) relating to the collection of taxes on cigarettes or smokeless tobacco sold in Indian country;

"(4) any Federal law, including Federal common law and treaties, regarding State jurisdiction, or lack thereof, over any tribe, tribal members, tribal enterprises, tribal reservations, or other lands held by the United States in trust for one or more Indian tribes; or
"(5) any State or local government authority to bring enforcement actions against persons located in Indian country.
"(b) Coordination of Law Enforcement.—Nothing in this Act or the amendments made by this Act shall be construed to inhibit or otherwise affect any coordinated law enforcement effort by 1 or more States or other jurisdictions, including Indian tribes, through interstate compact or otherwise, that—
"(1) provides for the administration of tobacco product laws or laws pertaining to interstate sales or other sales of tobacco products;
"(2) provides for the seizure of tobacco products or other property related to a violation of such laws; or
"(3) establishes cooperative programs for the administration of such laws.

Your tires are among the most important safety features on your Chevrolet. Low tire pressure can lead to tire overheating and possibly cause the tread to separate from the tire. Overinflated tires can cause a vehicle to lose traction on the road.
It's important to point out that radial tires can look fine even when they're underinflated. Be sure to look for objects that have become wedged in the tread — they can work themselves further into the tire and cause a loss in tire pressure. And don't forget to check the spare!
Underinflated or overinflated tires can cause:
Checking Tire Air Pressure
Maximize your tires' performance and durability by monitoring and maintaining correct air pressure. Air is a gas, expanding when heated and contracting when cooled. For most of North America, fall and early winter are especially important times for checking tire pressure — as the ambient temperature falls, tire air pressure goes down.
Check your vehicle's tires at least once a month when the tires are cold (let the vehicle sit for at least 3 hours). Always refer to your Chevrolet Vehicle Owner's Manual for the recommended tire inflation for your vehicle. Most newer model Chevrolet vehicles have tire pressure sensors to keep you informed of your tire pressure. If you are measuring your tire pressure manually, be sure to use a quality gauge. Do not attempt to drive a vehicle with a dangerously overinflated or underinflated tire.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System in most newer Chevrolet vehicles makes it easy to tell if your tires are properly inflated. The system's sensor measures the pressure and temperature within the tire and transmits this data to the tire pressure monitor. If the measured tire pressure is different from standard operating range, a warning indication will signal.

Download There are five types of PATS implementations from Ford (A, B, C, D, E). Refer to Table 1 (page 11) to identify what type of PATS your vehicle is equipped with. PATS initialization is generally performed after programming. The A or D version of PATS does not store the key information in the PCM, therefore NO PATS KEY RELEARN IS REQUIRED after programming. The B or C versions of PATS store the key information within the PCM and MUST be transferred to the new PCM, or relearned on the vehicle after the new PCM is installed. The E version of PATS also stores the key information within the PCM, but CANNOT be transferred to the new PCM. This type MUST be relearned on the vehicle after the new PCM is installed. Note: If you are just updating the existing PCM calibration with an update calibration, you must select the MODULE REPROGRAMMING function (not Programmable Module Installation).… Read More

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — However ineffective in reviving the U.S. economy, low interest rates have reinflated U.S. equity markets, driving the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index to nearly double its value since February 2009.
The same can't be said for China's stock markets.
Why China was slow to embrace Disney
Hong Kong Disneyland is making a profit for the first time after seven years of operation. The WSJ's Jeffrey Ng explains why mainland Chinese visitors were slow to warm to North America's favorite childhood characters.
Compare U.S. GDP growth with China's. In October 2008, China's leaders leapt to action, foiling the impact of the global financial crisis with a 4 trillion RMB fiscal stimulus package. Official GDP resumed its high-growth trajectory, hitting 9.2%, 10.4%, and 9.2% in 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively.
But compare the S&P 500's SPX, +0.13% performance to China's stock indices — especially the onshore ones (Shanghai A, Shenzhen A) — and the picture changes dramatically.
China's A-share indices bottomed in November 2008, plunging 70% from their October 2007 peak. After a modest rebound by July 2009, they tumbled again. Today this market trades around 65% of its 2007 peak.
So America's economy founders but its stock markets take off, while China's economy booms but its markets fizzle.
Some investors see a "buy" signal here. Their argument goes like this: over the last decade, China's economy grew 10% annualized, implying a GDP-per-capita increase of 225% during that time. Yet the stock market appreciated just 23%. Therefore, China's fundamental growth is not reflected in the market's current valuation.
This sounds logical, but it's dangerously wrong-headed. History shows that investing solely on valuation is a recipe for losing money.
Specifically, it risks a value trap — in which investors buy low-priced assets only to see the price stay flat or fall.
Moreover, China's political economy creates unique investment challenges. In China, the state plays a key role in setting economic and, often, corporate agendas.
Accordingly, understanding the China market's history and exogenous forces, and also developing a balanced view on the Communist Party's political imperatives and China's developmental path, are mandatory prerequisites for all investors.
Government order
One such exogenous factor is the role of China's capital markets in the country's economy. In most developed markets, the primary function of an equity market is to provide price discovery, allowing companies to raise capital for profitable investment opportunities. Stock markets also reflect the development of an economy, including the growth model, structure and pattern.
The creation of the Chinese stock market in the early 1990s, however, served a different purpose: to recapitalize and restructure large state-owned enterprises (SOEs) that otherwise would have gone under.

Click here: Food For Thought: Green Smoothies TABLE OF CONTENTS: I. WHAT ARE GREEN SMOOTHIES? II. WHY ARE GREEN SMOOTHIES FABULOUS?III. TIPS TO KEEP IN MINDIV. DIET TIPS FOR ACNEV. GREEN SMOOTHIE VIDEOSVI. GREEN SMOOTHIE RECIPESVII. VEGETABLE-BASED GREEN SMOOTHIE RECIPESVIII. GREEN BASED SOUP RECIPES I. WHAT ARE GREEN SMOOTHIES?Green smoothies are basically leafy greens mixed with fruit smoothies, and the great part is that because you'll be mixing the greens with fruit, the fruit covers up the taste of the greens! (If you don't like fruit, please see the recipes for the veggie based smoothies and soups below). This is one of the quickest, easiest, tastiest, most nutritious ways out there to get in your daily leafy greens and fruits! ** For more information, search "green smoothies," or, click here: Most Popular Green Smoothie Questions Answered by Victoria Boutenko Victoria Boutenko is who came up with the ingenious idea of green smoothies!II. WHY ARE GREEN SMOOTHIES FABULOUS?After consuming green smoothies on a daily basis for about 6 weeks, by making quick and easy "green smoothies," I noticed a huge difference in my skin. My skin doesn't break out like it used to, and it took on a healthier color as well. If you're suffering with acne, there's a very good chance that the smoothies will greatly help due to their high carotenoid content. You'll be getting tons of nutrition (blended greens give you 4 TIMES the amount of nutrition compared to eating them, because the blender is able to more thoroughly break down the cell walls in order to release nutrients. So, drinking 1 cup of blended greens is like eating "FOUR" cups of greens!!), you may notice your appetite going down (because your body will be getting so much nutrition), you may find that you feel calmer and happier (greens are great for this), have more energy (the most common reaction I hear about) and a host of many more health benefits! Click here: Green Smoothie (Original) by Sergei Boutenko. III. TIPS TO KEEP IN MINDFrozen fruit is great for a flavor kick - especially frozen pineapple and mango, and often, you can find certain frozen fruits, like strawberries, raspberries, etc., cheaper than fresh. Whole Foods has a wonderful selection. For simplicity, I recommend pre-washed greens. Baby spinach is mild in flavor and great to start with, but be sure to eventually use a variety of greens!. For flavoring, cinnamon, honey, stevia, blueberry concentrate, etc. are all options. Fat can help with nutrient absorption, so you might want to consider adding in a small amount of nuts or seeds, or 1 tbs of ground flax seeds. You can disguise the green color of your smoothies by using dark colored fruits like blueberries, raspberries, etc.If you don't like the noise of your blender (or if it's over 90 decibels), you can use earplugs, ear protection from Hope Depot, or just figure out some way to cover your ears. We DO want to protect our hearing! To jump-start the benefits, I recommend using 2 handfuls of greens a day in your smoothie, until you see improvements. You can then do just one handful a day if you like. Please keep in mind that it's very important to get at least a few servings of your greens every week from hormone balancing cruciferous greens, like kale, collards, bok choy, etc., otherwise, you may not see the results you hope for. If you have a juicer, drinking juiced greens will give you even more nutrients than blended greens, so do those as well, but it's also a good idea to do the smoothies for added fiber.Please give the smoothies at least a 12 week try. If you are not improving, do see the diet tips below. Also, make sure you're getting plenty of sleep, sunshine (or supplementing with vitamin D3 - very important), de-stressing, and make sure you're using a well-formulated, non skin-irritating line of skin-care products. Check out your skin care line here: Skin-Care Reviews, and check out the ingredients here: Ingredients. You can also have a look at my basic skin-care thread: Skin-Care Made Simple IV. DIET TIPS FOR ACNEFor best results, consider eating at least a 90% healthy diet by cutting out things like sugar, hydrogenated oils (trans fats), processed foods, eating less animal products, etc. Focus more on eating vegetables, fruit, leafy greens, nuts/seeds, beans/legumes, and whole grains. For those with acne, Dr. Fuhrman recommends doing green smoothies, 2-4 oz. of freshly juiced greens a day mixed with a sweeter juice like carrots, and eating a daily bowl of green based soup (see recipes below). In 2-3 months, your should make great improvements with your hormones. Basically, become obsessed with leafy greens for a while! See Dr. Fuhrman's Library, and his article Preventing Acne with Diet for advice on a healthy diet. Also, www.goveg.com has lots of good information on vegetarianism/veganism for those interested. It's vital to up your carotenoid content if you have acne. Click here: Carotenoids. This can easily be done with green smoothies, green juices, and cruciferous based soups (see recipes below). If you have acne, be sure to keep in mind the following: Be sure to use lots of cruciferous greens (mentioned above), limit fruit to 4-5 pieces a day (don't eat all 4 pieces at once though, and choose (click here-->) low-glycemic foods, so you might want to opt for low-sugar fruits, like green apples, even though the leafy greens do help to balance out the fruit sugar), avoid all dried fruit, fruit juices, and dairy. Limit nuts and seeds to no more than two ounces with one meal, and opt for more seeds over nuts (if you're a plant-based eater and are worried about weight loss from eating less nuts/seeds, add in more beans and starchy (but low-glycemic) vegetables, like yams and squash.). Exercise (enough to sweat), avoid alcohol, don't overeat, and don't smoke. If you would like help incorporating more nutrient-rich plant foods into your diet, please send me a PM.The following article talks of how many dermatologists have noticed improvements in their patients' skin when dairy is removed and a low-glycemic diet is followed. Perhaps soon they will also add "when green smoothies are added." Click here: A Clear Connection? Most dermatologists tell their patients diet plays no role in acne. New research suggests that's wrong.If after a few months you are not improving, you might consider other factors such as food allergies/sensitivities, liver function, digestion, etc. These topics can get quite complicated, but if you'd like to dive in, Alternativista has put together a helpful compilation of topics at her Good Things For Acne thread. In many cases, the wonderful simplicity a plant-based, nutrient-rich diet alone is enough to clear up health issues, and I advise trying diet first, but we are all different, and it's worth being open-minded to these things. V. GREEN SMOOTHIE VIDEOS Green Smoothie (Original) by Sergei BoutenkoThis is more of a "grass smoothie," but it's a really cute, fun and happy video. Jenna's Healthy Kitchen - Green Smoothie VideoGreenSmoothieGirl's Healthy Green Smoothie DemoTrev4Raw's Blended Greens Raw Soup Video Please post or send me a private message if you have any questions! I am happy to help! [attachment=33656:Green_Smoothies.jpg] These lovely green smoothie pictures were photographed by AnswerMe. Thank You AnswerMe! VI. GREEN SMOOTHIE RECIPESTraditional, Fruit-Based Green Smoothie (Makes about 4 cups): Cut up 2 pieces of fruit (apples, pears, bananas, plums, etc) into 8ths Throw in 1 large handful of greens (romaine, spinach, kale, chard, etc.) Note: If using a green like kale, with tough stems, consider de-stemming it, as the stems can be very fibrous and a bit like cardboard! Add about 1/2 a cup of frozen fruit Optional (tropical fruit mix, pineapples, mangoes, peaches, etc., and berries like raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, etc.) About 2 cups of water (Be sure to add enough so it's drinkable). Fats Optional (Nuts/Seeds, or 1 tbs ground flax seeds) Add flavorings Optional (Cinnamon, honey, stevia, cocoa powder, etc.) Blend ingredients (Use ear protection if blender is loud.) Immediately rinse out the blender with water (or blend with hot, soapy water, then rinse), and let it air dry. You're done! Enjoy your smoothie. Note: If you're new to smoothies, be sure to use plenty of fruit (sweet tasting fruits like apples, pears, bananas, pineapple, and mango) unless your acne is severe, in which case chose lower sugar (low-glycemic) fruits, like green apples or pears, only 1-2 servings of fruit, and see diet tips section above) and only use a small handful of greens (preferably baby spinach, as it has a mild flavor). If acne is moderate/severe, work your way up to at least 2 large handfuls of greens a day. If your first smoothie isn't a hit, be sure to experiment with different fruit and leafy green combos until you come up with something you like!! Also, for the most benefit, please be sure to get in several servings a week of blended cruciferous leafy greens like spinach, kale, collards, bok choy, etc, as these will have the most powerful effect for clearing your skin. Tip: Smoothies can be stored in the fridge for up to 24-48 hrs, allowing you to make your smoothies every other day or third day if this better fits your schedule. Nutrition wise, fresh is always best, but you will still get enough nutrition to reap the benefits... I know this from experience, as for quite a while, I used to make mine every other day. Be sure to eat a variety of greens!! This is very important, because not all greens are alike, and they must be balanced! Also, some of you were getting confused about leafy greens being vegetables, like broccoli. Basically, if it's not a leaf, then it's not a leafy green. Examples of other fruit-based smoothies:Peach-Pear Delight 1 pear 1 cup frozen peaches 1 handful baby spinach 2-3 cups water 1 tsp vanilla extractPineapple-Raspberry Paradise 1 apple ¾ cup frozen pineapple ½ cup frozen raspberries 3-4 flat kale leaves (de-stemmed) 2-3 cups water ¼ tsp cinnamonHeavenly Chocolate Smoothie 1 banana 1 cup frozen mango ½ cup frozen raspberries 1 handful spring mix 2-3 cups water 2 tbs cocoa powderChocolate Milkshake 2 bananas 1 handful spinach 1-2 cups water Honey to sweeten 1-2 tbs cocoa powder Low-Glycemic Smoothie 1 big handful of spinach 1/4 large avocado 1/4 cup frozen berries 2-3 spoonfulls cocoa powder 1 squirt of honey 1 1/2 cups water VII. VEGETABLE-BASED GREEN SMOOTHIE RECIPESVegetable-Based Smoothie (a.k.a. A Blended Salad): ½ bunch parsley (gives a wonderful *fresh* taste to the smoothie!)1 handful spinach½ cucumber2-3 stalks of celery1 or 2 pieces of fruit (an apple or a pear)1 lemon (peel, cut in half, discard large seeds, add to blender)2-3 cups waterBlendNote: It's important to add at least one fruit and the lemon, otherwise, the smoothie may taste a little bitter. However, with these ingredients added in, it tastes very refreshing! Feel free to experiment with different veggies!Examples of other Vegetable-Based Smoothies:Fresher than Fresh Green Smoothie:1 bunch parsley½ cucumber2 pears1 lemon (Peel away skin and remove large seeds before adding)3 cups of waterBlended Salad Recipe:3 stalks of dinosaur kale (flat, dark, kale) 1 cucumber ¼ to ½ cup baby carrots 1 tomato ¼ of an onion ½ avocado (adds a wonderful creamy flavor!)¼ stalk of parsley1 lemon (Peel away skin and remove large seeds before adding)½ apple3 cups water VIII. GREEN-BASED SOUPSBlended Greens Vegetable Soup - Basic Recipe Although not a smoothie, this is another great way to get "blended greens" into your diet. Simply blend some greens up with water, veggie or chicken broth, a can of diced tomatoes, carrot juice, etc, and pour this into a pot as your soup base. I learned about blended greens in soups from Dr. Joel Fuhrman's book, Eat to Live, my favorite book on nutrition). 1/2 of a 1 lb bag of frozen leafy greens About 2 cups chicken broth (or veggie broth)1/2 of a 1 lb bag of frozen mixed veggies1 cup beans or brown rice (optional)Spices, like curry, Italian, Mexican, etc., and a little Vegenaise adds a creamy flavor.Instructions: Blend the frozen greens and broth until thoroughly pureed (if you do not have a high powered blender, you may need to cook the veggies first in the broth in order to soften them, and then cradle the veggies and broth into the blender). Pour mixture into a big pot. Add frozen mixed veggies to the and any extras. Cook on low heat until everything is cooked. If mixture gets too thick, you might need to add a cup or two of water or broth. You can store this in the fridge and simply re-heat throughout the week (a great *fast* food!). Total Prep Time: Less than 20 minutes.Note: You can vary up the ingredients in this soup to make all sorts of combinations. For example, instead of the chicken broth, you could use tomato juice, and then add some diced tomatoes, cilantro, pinto beans instead of the lentils, and add seasonings such as chili powder, cumin, onions, garlic and lemon juice for a great chili soup. You could also add things like pumpkin puree or butternut squash puree and use different veggies with the liquid soup base. I like using frozen because it's quick and easy. Nuts, like almonds, can be blended with the soup base. Walnuts pulsed on low will give a meat texture to the soup and is really great in chili type soups.Enjoy!Here is another favorite - even among picky eaters!Creamy Tomato Bean SoupOne can, no-salt, diced tomatoesAbout 1 cup frozen broccoli (but 2-3 would be better! You can add some unblended.)1 can of black or pinto beans1 cup frozen bell peppers2 heaping scoops of vegenaise. Rice, lemon juice, onions, cumin, chili powder (all optional and not necessary!)Blend the tomatoes and broccoli (add enough broccoli so the mixture is fairly thick) and pour into a medium sized pot. Add the rest of ingredients and let cook on low heat. 3 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AKWESASNE - The St. Lawrence River Area of Concern (AOC) program at the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe (SRMT) and the Friends of the Robert Moses State Park (RMSP) Nature Center hosted their fourth and final round (fall) of seasonal photography, Sept. 13 -27.
Judging took place on Sept. 30 with representatives from the SRMT Environment Division, SRMT Public Information Office and the Friends of the RMSP Nature Center Board of Directors.
First place winner Charlene Dumas is the recipient of a $25 gift certificate donated by Twin Leaf. Charlenes photo, Sun Salutation gives one a sense of natural tranquility just by looking at it. What better place to honor the sun and enjoy the early autumn colors than by the St. Lawrence River? said Mrs. Dumas of her winning photograph.
The second place winner was Mary Lisa Whitton, who received the Better Bird Watching DVD donated by the Friends of the RMSP Nature Center, for Point of View. Her expertly focused lens captures the detail of the herons feathers, fishing off a rocky point on Wilson Hill. Life is good! is the vibe Ms. Whitton was struck by when watching this bird in its natural environment.
Third-place winner Derek Cook received the Friends of the RMSP Nature Center T-shirt for Get the Net! The imagery evoked by Mr. Cooks photo demonstrates most fishermens pleasure of the moment of the fish on catch on the great St. Lawrence River.
Framed winning photos can be viewed at the St. Lawrence Centre Mall in Massena, NY. Thank you to all who participated in submitting a photo to the seasonal contest.

Someones else helped me figure it out. Thanks anyway.
I created a signature for Outlook, an *.htm file with a *_files folder where the gif is, and it works fine. When I try to use the signature in Outlook Express 6 it does not show the image, but rather a placeholder with an X in it. The font is not right either. I tried renaming the file to html but nothing. I tried different image types like jpg or png and no go. I changed and removed the DTD and it did nothing. Still the file displays fine in Firefox and IE. What is wrong? Can anybody help?
Thanks, Dean

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate general manager
The view a community has of sports in general and of particular sports, often measures up to what their local teams are doing.
Or what they aren't doing.
I've heard it said many times since I moved here 15 years ago that Price is a baseball town.
Watching baseball here you can see why. The little league teams thrive, Babe Ruth games are well attended, the high school has a program that has won the state title two of the last four years and the American Legion games in Helper during the summer draw some pretty big crowds.
Success begets success.
Carbon High's recent fifth place finish at the state volleyball tournament demonstrates what can happen when a community becomes so used to winning or being at the very top that they forget where they once were.
After the tournament, a few people around town were very disappointed in the finish, after the team took the championship last year and second in the state two years before. It wasn't that they didn't think the girls played poorly or anything like that, it was just sure disappointment after a big buildup for a top notch program that has been going on for a long time.
But Coach Bruce Bean didn't feel that way. He told the Sun Advocate that he wanted people to remember where the program was five years ago and where it has gone in that time.
"I just think about 2000 and how happy we were to finishing in the final seven," he said a few days after the season finished. "We had a great team this year; we played poorly in only one game (Snow Canyon) and with only a few more points we would have been contending for the championship that night. It was a very good year."
Being on the down side of something after a couple of exceptional years is always hard. Just look at the Utah Jazz. For years with Stockton running the show and Malone scoring, Utah was always in a place to go straight to the top. They never quite did it, but in the last couple of seasons we have all realized that even though they never brought an NBA championship to Utah, how lucky we were to have what we did have.
This year the girls and boys basketball teams at Carbon have a very good chance of doing well. But both programs have worked hard over the years. The boys have often almost made it over the hump to the state tournament, but not quite.
In contrast last year the girls won the state championship. While no one doubts that could happen again, there are some strong contenders in the wings for that title, including right next door in Emery County, where the girls team returns a lot of their players from last year. They are tall and deep and the rivalry will certainly be tested this season.
So if the girls don't go all the way this year, will people be disappointed? And if the boys make the state playoffs will the community be elated?
It all seems relative doesn't it, and in fact it is. We become conditioned by what we are used to even though the players, their experience and talent changes from year to year.
Everyone wants to win. Personally I like covering winning teams much better than losing teams. I have to write about both, and let me tell you writing about a winning team is a lot easier.
But the thing local fans need to remember is that in the long run there are no losers in high school sports. If kids play, if they participate, if they feel the camaraderie of a team and learn something about life, they are winners.
And if they can take all that into their adult private lives, all the rest of us win too.


text: Just in time to regulate Thanksgiving traffic along Wellington's Main Street, the town's first and only traffic semaphore is going up at the corner of 100 East and Main streets. It has been a goal of Mayor Ben Blackburn since he took his oath of office in January 2010. Blackburn and the Wellington City Council have long been concerned about pedestrian safety, especially children who have to cross Main Street - the busy US Highway 6 - to get to and from school or the city's parks. The signals won't run on a timer. Instead, they'll be triggered either by pedestrians wanting to cross or by cross traffic approaching the intersection on 100 East. Wellington Elementary students will have to cross Main Street at the signal instead of the current crossing at 200 West, the mayor added.

Tea is a higher-maintenance beverage than you may think. You can't brew green tea at just any temperature, and the same goes for oolong, white tea and many more varieties. Many blends must be infused once the water hits a specific temperature if you want to enjoy their full flavor. The best specialty tea makers, electric kettles and even stovetop kettles can help.
The most informative reviews of tea kettles focus on electric models that typically boil water about twice as fast as stovetop kettles, in four to five minutes as opposed to seven to 10. Electric tea kettles are made of stainless steel, plastic or glass. Most use a 1,500-watt heating element located in a detachable base so you aren't tethered to a cord when serving. Many come equipped with water gauges and, in some cases, marks that indicate the minimum amount of water needed for a safe boil. Automatic shut-off is another common feature, preventing the kettle from turning on if there isn't enough water in the chamber to be safely heated. A well-constructed stainless steel electric kettle costs about $100 to $150.
A number of reviewers prefer stovetop kettles for their simplicity and availability in many materials, colors and styles to coordinate with a kitchen's décor. They boil water just as well as high-end electric kettles and cost much less; our Best Reviewed pick in this category is just $25.
At the other end of the spectrum is a relatively new alternative, the automatic tea brewer. These electric machines operate much like coffee makers, with a basket for bagged or loose-leaf tea that water filters through. These aren't drip machines, however; instead, the basket allows the tea to steep until the set temperature is reached. With some models, that temperature can be adjusted according to the type of tea used. Due to their expertly crafted technology, tea brewers are difficult to find for less than $100 and are mainly purchased by tea enthusiasts.
To analyze durability and ease of use in real-world conditions, we turn to owner feedback at retail giant Amazon.com, which features hundreds of user reviews of popular tea kettles. We also rely on household and tech product websites such as Good Housekeeping, ApartmentTherapy.com, TheKitchn.com and CNET, and consider reviews by bloggers at tea and coffee enthusiast sites.
