By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate sports reporter
Trailing the College of Southern Idaho by three games in the Scenic West Athletic Conference standings, last weekends games could have been a great chance to gain some ground. But instead the College of Eastern Utah Golden Eagles were just glad to get the weekend behind them as they dropped all four games to CSI.
Friday's games looked more like football scores than baseball as CSI downed CEU 18-7 and then 22-10. On Saturday the Eagles made it a bit closer, but it was still an offensive showdown with losses of 9-7 and 10-7.
On Friday, Kyler Edgehouse started the game and things were close for four innings. However, by the sixth inning it was all over as CSI broke it open with a grand slam and posted five runs.
In the second game of the day, CSI put up at least three in each inning and had the game pretty much sewed up with 14 before CEU had a nine run fourth inning to try and climb back in it. But CSI kept adding runs and ended up with 22 before it was said and done.
Saturday's opening game again saw CSI putting up runs in almost every inning. CEU had another big inning to put themselves back in the game and tied it up with a seven run sixth. CSI posted two more in the seventh to keep their winning streak over the Golden Eagles intact.
With one more chance to change their fortunes, CEU took their first lead of the series in the third inning of the final game. CSI tied it up in the fourth but the Eagles tacked one on to regain the advantage in the bottom half of the frame.
CSI went ahead in the top fifth and then CEU tied it again. But CSI scored three in the seventh and completed their sweep.
The Eagles now travel to Carson City, Nev. to play a four game set against Western Nevada Community College this weekend.

It sounds like you've answered your own question. WHY do you feel like it's important to improve your range? I'd assume it would be to get to more balls; and be able to square up to balls that are at the edge of your current range. WHY would that be any different at 1B? Getting to more grounders would cut down on opponents' hits AND keep more runners from advancing. If you could prevent the opposing team from scoring thirty runs how would that be any different from adding thirty RBIs to your statistics?
Before we make a major investment into an extension for Mark Reynolds, or even consider picking up his 11M option, we should get his word that he will work hard this winter on improving the weak areas of his game. He clearly worked hard last winter on his weight. I'd take his word that he'll work on his range and hitting to the opposite field.
Shortstops are expected to cover alot of ground. First basemen are not. There aren't many instinses where you need to take more than two steps to get to a ball. He has a great first step. And I believe he has a good second step as well. Please cite examples where he couldn't get to a ball he should of if he had a better second third etc step. Because I think you are basing it off of range factor.

in adulthood is just as important as it is for children and adolescents.
The recommendations for immunization are not standard, and will
vary for each woman, depending on lifestyle, susceptibility, travel
plans, profession, age and health. In order to find out which immunizations
are recommended for you and your lifestyle, it is best to see your
doctor. Some immunizations will last for a lifetime, which means
that if you had a vaccination when you were a child, you won't
need it again. Other vaccinations, like tetanus and flu shots,
need to be retaken in order to remain effective over a lifespan.
A lot of conflicting information and myths are out there regarding
vaccinations being harmful. If you get your information from a
magazine or an exposé on television, talk to your doctor
before you formulate an opinion. The truth is, that although a
link between vaccines and medical conditions might be reported,
that doesn't mean there is any direct correlation. Vaccinations
are proven to prevent serious and deadly conditions. Ask your doctor
if you are worried about the harmful effects of a vaccination,
but remember that the negative risks associated with a vaccine
are far, far less than the harm that could be caused by a disease
that a vaccine prevents.
Flu shots are in extremely high demand during the fall and the
beginning of the winter, when the flu season can get out of hand.
Most hospitals and doctor's offices will provide the flu
shot for anybody who is interested. Sometimes, hospitals, doctors
and even states will run out of a supply for the vaccination because
it is in such a high demand. The flu shot prevents against influenza,
which is a common, extremely contagious, sickness that is caused
by a virus. The flu shot needs to be taken every year, because
the influenza virus continually changes and the vaccine needs to
be reformulated to offer protection against new strains. Many times
people decide to get a flu shot because they notice that they end
up with the flu every year, and desire extra protection against
the "flu epidemic," which generally strikes every winter.
It is generally recommended that adults get the vaccine if they
are at greater risk for developing complications related to the
flu. This is for you if you are:
Other vaccinations that might be recommended for an adult include:
Tetanus booster: This vaccination should be administered
every ten years throughout your life. Tetanus is a bacterial infection
caused by deep wounds, and you probably have heard about tetanus
regarding "rusty nails." You can also get tetanus through
severe wounds without contact with rusty nails or metal of any
kind. Tetanus can be fatal, so it is important to protect yourself
against the disease. With immunization, tetanus is extremely rare.
If you are receiving the vaccination for the first time as an adult,
then you will need to have a series of three shots, spaced apart
by 1 to 2 months, and then 6 to 12 months.
Pneumococcal vaccine: This vaccination will prevent
against the bacteria that causes severe infections including pneumonia,
meningitis and blood infections. Because these infections can be
fatal in older adults, it is recommended that the vaccine be taken
after the age of 65. The vaccine is also recommended for adults
who have weakened immune systems due to medication or a condition,
have a chronic disease, don't have a spleen (or have a weak
spleen), live in areas with an increased risk (talk to your doctor).
For adults, the form of vaccine is called pneumococcal polysaccharide
vaccine (PPV).
Measles, mumps and rubella vaccine: This vaccination
is widespread in the US, and most children receive two injections
and have immunity. If you are an adult who was born after 1957
(born before that year means you are considered immune) and you
never received the vaccine, then you should. Healthcare workers
and college students are also required to get the vaccine. So are
non-pregnant women of child-bearing age who do not already have
Chicken pox vaccine: You've probably already
heard that chicken pox can be very serious if contracted during
adulthood, but it is especially dangerous if you get it while you
are pregnant. If you are not already immune to chicken pox (immunity
is generally attained by having the infection already), then it
is recommended that you get a chicken pox vaccine. If you don't
remember if you ever had chicken pox, or want to double check,
a simple blood test can show if you have immunity. The shot is
a series of two shots, 4 weeks apart, for anyone over the age of
13. You should not get the shot if you are pregnant.
Hepatitis A vaccine: Hepatitis A is a liver disease
that is potentially serious. There is an increased risk for contacting
hepatitis A among children and teens living in group settings.
If you have not already had a hepatitis vaccination as an adult,
it is recommended that you do so. The hepatitis A vaccine is administered
in a series of two doses, given 6 to 18 months apart.
Hepatitis B vaccine: Hepatitis B is a liver condition
that could cause serious complications. If you are an adult who
does not have immunity, it is recommended that you have the vaccination.
The vaccination is administered in a series of three shots and
is safe for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. In response
to the shot, you may experience pain or a low fever.
In addition to the above mentioned vaccinations, you might need
to get additional vaccinations if you intend to travel out of the
country, particularly to underdeveloped countries. Your age, health,
location and length of stay are all factors in considering whether
vaccination is necessary. If you are traveling to countries in
Africa, Asia, and Central and South America, you might be at a
greater risk for contracting such diseases as yellow fever and
typhoid fever. Talk to your doctor to get complete information
about vaccinations well in advance of your trip (at least one month).
Because of recent events that have caused fear in the American
populations regarding bioterrorism, many people are concerned about
getting immunizations against biological weapons. Immunizations
against anthrax and smallpox, however, are not available to the
general public. They are also not recommended because of serious
side effects. If you feel that you are at high risk of coming into
contact with anthrax or contacting smallpox, you may be eligible
for the vaccinations. This high-risk group includes healthcare
workers in bioterrorism fields, infection-control personnel, military
personnel and lab workers who deal with imported or infected animals.

Amid troubling national and state trends concerning the aptitude of high school science and math students, former Carbon County Commissioner and local educator William Krompel approached the Carbon school board to push for what he calls a "re-invigoration" of the local science curriculum.
"I have been hearing disturbing reports concerning physics and chemistry both at the state level and within our local high school," said Krompel, who taught math and science for over 30 years in the area. "While these problems are being noticed at the community college level, I believe the responsibility for Carbon students should lie with our district educators. I believe we need to prepare our students well, because if they are not prepared, there is no way they will be able to compete."
The state wide issue to which Krompel alluded came from KSL 5 correspondent Nadine Wimmer, who reported in late March that Utah Valley University had recently doubled their faculty for remedial math.
At Salt Lake Community College, 28 percent of the student body takes remedial math and Westminster College is considering a pre-algebra course due to student performance. These trends show a definite issue with student preparedness, according to Krompel.
"I was shocked to see remedial classes increasing across the state," said the former commissioner. "And it started me looking into our local situation, what I found was troubling. We seem to have lost passion where this area of learning is concerned. Therefore, I approached our district leaders and asked them to implement policies that would reinvigorate both our program and the way local students look at science and math."
Krompel's recommendations included looking at new teachers within the science and math fields. Insuring that instructor are not only qualified to teach the curriculum, but have a passion toward conveying the material.
"I think the district hit the jackpot when they hired Jim Thompson 30 years ago," explained the former teacher. "His passion toward English and Literature are evident in the performance of his students, it is that type of dedication that will have lasting results with our local youth."
"He hit a home run as far as I'm concerned," said board member Wayne Woodward. "This is definitely an issue we need to address."
The effect of less than adequate math skills on those entering college is profound, according to the KSL report. For instance; time spent in even one remedial math class will mean extra tuition, more time before graduation, extra tax payer subsidy and a lagging global economy. The United States currently ranks 31st where math is concerned among 56 industrialized nations.
"While the bigger picture seems frightening, what I am concerned with is the loss of opportunities on the local front," explained Krompel. "We are the largest coal producing county in the state and the second largest producer of natural gas, these industries have a myriad of wonderful opportunities for those who have an interest in science and math."

THE MORNING SKATE — Martinek Signs, Six Recalled
Kevin Schultz
The Islanders have signed Radek Martinek to a one-year deal. That now gives them five NHL contracted defenders not named Visnovsky: Streit, Carkner, Hamonic, MacDonald, and Martinek.
This morning the Islanders also recalled six Sound Tigers for training camp:
Casey Cizikas
Travis Hamonic
Jon Landry
Colin McDonald
David Ullstrom
Ty Wishart
Most of those names should look familiar. A couple that don't are Jon Landry and Colin McDonald. Landry is a 29-year old defender who has never played an NHL game but excelled the past two years in Bridgeport. He has 20 points this season for the Sound Tigers and is big, listed at 6-3, 220.
Colin McDonald is a 28-year old right wing who has played only a few NHL games with previous teams. He's made the AHL All-Star game each of the last two seasons and is second on the Sound Tigers this year with 27 points in 35 games.
Both of these players are, so far, career AHLers but have earned their way into a tryout as other Islanders have done in the past. Don't expect them to make it but as the lottery says; 'hey, you never know.'
Two names that are missing off of those lists are Nino Niederreiter and Matt Donovan two who were pretty much assumed to make the opening night roster. Each has been the best player at their position for Bridgeport this season. Niederreiter has put up a point per game in Bridgeport and is their leading scorer, while Donovan has 18 points in 36 games and is second on the team in +/-. It seems as though the Islanders are going with calling up the older players and letting the younger ones get a bit more time. Not only that, but with injuries being what they are, we may see Donovan and Nino soon anyway.
Also, Jesse Joensuu is day-to-day with a groin injury and Josh Bailey will miss 2-4 weeks after hurting his knee in Germany.

In October, the United States Bureau of Land Management extended the comment period on the Price field office's draft resource management plan until Nov. 29.
Originally, the comment period was to end more than a month earlier. But due to requests the BLM received from the public and government entities, the federal agency extended the timeline.
Activists who oppose the way the RMP is developed have been contacting residents of Carbon and Emery counties about the document and asking local citizens to send in comments before the the Nov. 29 deadline.
"I just think the public needs to be aware of how the RMP can affect them and their activities on public land," noted Scott Wheeler, an all-terrain vehicle activist from Price.
On Monday, four people contacted the Sun Advocate about the impending deadline and wanted to be sure that people were aware the comment period was rapidly coming to a close.
The BLM originally released the draft RMP to the public on July 16 for review and comment.
"The public's input is critical since this RMP will guide management of more than 2.5 million acres of public lands," said Price BLM field office manager Patrick Gubbins when the public comment extension was authorized. "We understand that this is a very complex document, the culmination of two years of work by BLM, our cooperating agencies and the public. We want to make sure the public and our partners have the time that is needed to understand the document and provide substantive comments."
Opponents of the plan point out that it has many descrepancies in it and in some cases contradicts itself. They say it is also lacking in some areas and in some cases could make it very difficult for some visitors to public land controlled by the agency. They say that the way the plan is written could impact the following areas as well as others.
Group activities. The opponents say that new rules could control groups as small as 10 people. Some aspects of the plan could make it so families or friends would have to apply for permit to use public land, months in advance.
It will affect trails and roads that are presently used by the public and recreationalists. According to opponents the proposal will greatly reduce the number of roads, trails and routes used by full sized four wheel driver vehicles, motorcycles and ATV's.
That the plan, as it exists, had little input from local governmental entities and that the economic impacts of the plan on the local area were not studied properly.
That the plan expands wilderness areas by using a variety of terms that create a defacto wilderness without actually calling it that.
Carbon County officials also have concerns with the RMP as well.
"We would like to let people know that we believe the RMP could have serious implications for the county and its citizens," explained Carbon planning and zoning director Dave Levanger at a meeting of the local recreation and transportation special service district in September. "We do not agree with the plan, have consistently opposed many parts of it and see little consistency with the plan we have developed for managing the county's lands."
Others in the community have also seen problems with the plan, particularly when it comes to the issue of consistency.
"The consistency of what they have presented in the plan questionable," indicated Alan Peterson, a local multiple land use advocate. "I went to the meeting in Emery County (in August) and asked where the map was located that showed roads recognized by Carbon in the plan and they didn't have it. Then at the meeting here in Price, they used the map I was asking about in the presentation, but it wasn't included in the actual plan. I was then told that they would use that map in the plan. Then at the Salt Lake meeting, the Southern Utah Wilderness Association representatives went ballistic because the BLM showed that map on the screen again but still didn't have it included in the document. What are we supposed to comment on? What's contained in the document or what is in the meeting presentation?"
Wheeler questioned the inconsistencies in the BLM's draft plan regarding off-highway vehicle use.
"They didn't even address it properly," said the local off-highway vehicle advocate. "Actually, they included 150 miles of blacktop roads in the off-road inventory."
The county has produced some documents pointing out the problems Carbon officials see with the plan. For the most part, Carbon's objections center around the following areas.
The county wants the RMP to match what local officials have approved as a master plan. The present form of the RMP doesn't do this. The county said it is committed to multiple use and sustained yield on public lands. A lawsuit called Uintah vs. Norton was filed in 2001, which had to do with the BLM trying to introduce horses into an area where the county master plan did not allow it. Uintah County won the suit and kept the horses out. That set a precedent for a county's master plan to hold measure over federal mandates.
The county has voiced its opposition to layering of land uses and restrictions. These layering methods include various kinds of laws and regulations including visual resource management, areas of critical environmental concern, wild and scenic rivers, special recreation management areas as well as other acts that tie up land for particular reasons. The problem the county sees with these kinds of regulations is that they can be used to the extreme.
For instance, visual resource management could mean that if a gas well head could be seen 50 miles away in a wilderness area, the area that gas well is in could be regulated. In another instance, according to county officials, the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act could impact every drainage attached to a designated river. This means, for instance, that the entire drainage system in the Desolation Canyon area could be made de facto wilderness by the Green River's designation as a wild and scenic river.
The county said it supports protection and management of watersheds, but dislikes the idea of corridor management, such as is found in the Wild and Scenic River designation.
The problem with this designation is that often there are bordered lands that are affected by the act and in some cases these restrictions can go well beyond the boundaries of the river itself, affecting side drainages far away from the intended protected areas.
The county also opposes any reduction in grazing rights. The county has a policy of no net loss of private lands, animal unit months (AUMs), or water rights to public agencies.
The county sees the present form of the RMP as being driven by recreation, rather than by other uses of the land. This could result in job loss and other impacts to the county. The county said it feels that minerals, agriculture, timber and other land uses should be on a par with recreation when determinations are made about how land should be used.
The county also has concerns about the forested properties the BLM controls, because some policies could allow harmful insects and wild fires to spread onto privately held adjacent lands.
The use of a recreation opportunity spectrum also troubles the county. The use of parameters to close existing roads and ignore the existence of some roads is opposed by the county. The counties accepted transportation plan, which recognizes roads in the county, was not included in the document.
The county adopted a wilderness proposal in April of this year and it complies with the recreational opportunity spectrum and the county expects the BLM to adhere.
The county is concerned about the clarity of the maps used in the document.
The county also notes that the length and inclusiveness of the plan is too complex, making environmental assessments obsolete and creating a situation where following the parameters of the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) would be nearly impossible. This, in effect, would keep land from being used for almost anything at all.
While there are a lot of avenues to explore, it seems many in the public, are most concerned about road closures and changes to routes. In the final plan, the BLM says it will designate areas as open to motorized travel, closed to motorized travel, or limited to designated routes.
For the limited category, BLM will also designate which specific routes will be open to motorized use. The route designations made in the 2003 San Rafael plan will be incorporated into the final RMP.
"There are more than 3,500 miles of existing routes in the management area," explained Gubbins. "We do not plan on designating all of these routes as open; rather, our goal is to create a designated route network that protects other resources and provides both motorized and non-motorized recreational opportunities."
The BLM also says, contrary to opponents assertions, that the plan wasn't put together in a vacuum. They say that the draft resource management plan/environmental impact statement was prepared with the assistance of four cooperating agencies as well as input from the public during the scoping phase of the effort, indicated the Price BLM office.
The document may be viewed electronically or local residents may call the Price field office at 636-3600. Comments may be submitted via the website or sent to Price Field Office RMP Comments, Attention: Floyd Johnson, 125 S. 600 West, Price, UT 84501.

- big enough, but not too big
I ride a touring bike, I ride long distances, and I hate wearing backpacks or anything when I ride.
My bike is set up with panniers so I can haul pretty much anything I want already but I wanted something light-weight with a u-lock holster and easy access so I can grab things on the go. This bag does not disappoint!
I recently sustained an injury to my left shoulder and wish I could have bought this bag with a right-shoulder option. But even with my shoulder injury, this bag hasn't been too big of an issue on short rides, and I just use it as a fanny pack on longer rides (although I have noticed that when wearing this bag as a fanny pack, the u-lock is harder to pull out with the quickness).
for such a small bag I've been surprised at how much I can fit into it. my u-lock, wallet, four thick composition books, and room for a snack. or I can keep cold drinks or wet stuff in the main pouch and everything in the zipper pouch stays totally dry!
- Perfect for the daily grind
Haven't had much cause to use this biking yet (as it's freaking cold) but I do have to say this bag is perfect for running around Seoul. I voice act and usually don't need to carry much, but I carry it all over town. The Chekhov perfectly fits a 3rd generation full-sized iPad (in a relatively stream-lined folio case), a .5L bottle of water and my glasses case in the main compartment and the wallet pocket holds a box of cough drops and chiclet-style gum side-by-side without any distortion of shape. About the only thing that could make this bag better in my opinion is if it had a small pocket inside the roll to hold a pen or pencil. As it is, the main compartment has a nice straight bottom and there's not a whole lot I can carry that forces me to dig around inside. The strap is also super easy to adjust and is quite comfortable, as is to be expected from Chrome I suppose. Great workmanship too, the bag feels solid. If you need to carry around just a few things, this bag'll do ya nicely.

|A Carbon athlete scrambles for the ball during an early season game.
The Carbon Dino soccer team continues to heat things up on the field.
The team competed in two games last week and looks forward to returning home this Friday to host Wasatch Academy.
The first game the Dinos participated in last week was against Grand. The game was close, but the Carbon team ended on the short end of the stick by the final, 3-2.
In this match up, Dino athlete, Andrew Bjork scored both goals for the Dinos.
Following the loss to Grand, the team moved on to compete against Lehi.
In this game, the Dino struggled as they were defeated, 7-0 by the Pioneers.

new wide lens , 20min pool session, residue on lens.
Ask about gear, cameras, lenses, technique or lighting
2 posts • Page 1 of 1
Hi I have a new ikelite lens I wanted to try it out so took it in local pool for 20 mins . It now has a residue that i cannot get rid of , the lens is totaly unusable , I have tried lens cleaner . doesn't make even the slightest difference , i used it for the first ime with new ikelite housing also , the back of the wide angle lens is perfect also the front of the housing lens , so i cant see how it is something in the pool . I wondered if it was some residue from manafacture reacting with chlorine ??? I have emailed Ikelite , they say post it back to them in the usa 50 dolar repair cost and postage to pay !!! Its not that easy as I am in thailand , My original set up was lost by a customer , and he was good enough to buy all new kit in Hong kong where he lives and posted it out to me .so i have no receipts and also feel bad about even telling the poor guy who was good enough to replaace all my 3 year old kit (I had Inon fish eye and cannon housing before) .If anyone has any sugestions as to how i could shift this residue i would be realy gratefull , I am here for another 5 weeks and would love to be able to try the w20 lens out !!!! befor i return to the uk ....

Which lens? If it is the wide angle lens then I am quite sure that the pool didn't hurt it unless there was something very bad in the pool.

These quality indicators are generated during production or in post-production scientific and quality checks of the data product. For more information on local and global attributes, go to one of the following documents: * MOD10A2 and MYD10A2 Local Snow Cover Attributes, Version 5 * MOD10A2 and MYD10A2 Global Snow Cover Attributes, Version 5 The AutomaticQualityFlag is automatically set according to conditions for meeting data criteria in the snow mapping algorithm. In most cases, the flag is set to either Passed or Suspect, and in rare instances it may be set to Failed. Suspect means that a significant percentage of the data were anomalous and that further analysis should be done to determine the source of anomalies. The AutomaticQualityFlagExplanation contains a brief message explaining the reason for the setting of the AutomaticQualityFlag. The ScienceQualityFlag and the ScienceQualityFlagExplanation are set after production, either after an automated QA program is run or after the data product is inspected by a qualified snow scientist. Content and explanation of this flag are dynamic so it should always be examined if present. The algorithm tests for a variety of anomalous conditions and sets the pixel value accordingly if such conditions are detected. Summary statistics about missing data, the percent cloud cover, the percent of good or other quality data, and snow cover percent are calculated and placed in the metadata for each product.

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. – Northrop Grumman's Woodland Hills, Calif., facility recently donated more than 60 lightly used printers and copy machines to Value Schools, a nonprofit corporation that operates two charter schools in Los Angeles.
The printers will supplement existing machines or fill a void in school offices and classrooms that currently do not have printers.
"Northrop Grumman is dedicated to supporting our local schools," said Liz Iversen, sector vice president and general manager of Northrop Grumman's Navigation Systems division. "We are pleased that our donation will fill a pressing need in local schools and will help to improve students' educational experiences."
"Northrop Grumman's gift of these printers is especially important as we face a reduction in state funding of our schools," said Vanessa Navarro, director of communications of Value Schools. "This gift will help us provide students with the tools necessary to achieve success in school."

Like clockwork every spring, sweet pastel shades, from sky blue to mint green to lavender, emerge as a front-runner trend among in-the-know stylephiles. And although girly girls typically favor the pretty Easter egg-inspired colors, we recently noticed an array of tastemakers wearing pastels in a slightly edgier--and totally refreshing--way! In honor of the first official day of spring, which was yesterday, we rounded up a few stunning examples to show you just How They Wear this lovely seasonal trend.
Since there's still a chill in the air come spring, finding a standout outerwear option is key to achieving the perfect pastel-colored ensemble. Both Sarah Jessica Parker and Hanneli Mustaparta gravitated towards dusky blue coats to keep them warm and stylish! At the Louis Vuitton F/W 12 show in Paris just a few weeks ago, Parker turned up in the label's white lace dress and blue coat (the former is from the S/S 05 collection and the latter from S/S 03, so sadly, both are no longer available). While these two pieces afford her look with ladylike sophistication, Parker's well-chosen accessories, like white gloves and Louis Vuitton's sleek Merry Go Round Pumps ($1056, 866.884.8866) in White Calf Leather, provide fashion-forward flair. The actress even allowed her black bra to peek through the lace dress, injecting her feminine outfit with a dose of provocative edge. We also love the way Mustaparta styled her Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti Mohair Coat With Patch Pockets ($1650) from the F/W 11 collection. At the Derek Lam F/W 12 show in New York in mid-February, she expertly layered her fuzzy coat over a cream sweater, Tibi's white leather jacket, and Rag & Bone's Skinny Pants ($176, 212.278.8214) in Winter White Corduroy. The model/blogger has a skilled eye for mixing different textures (mohair and leather) and colors (varying off-white shades) together. Topped off with an intricate Proenza Schouler necklace from the F/W 11 collection and a pair of black slippers, Mustaparta's outfit is chic and cozy.
Though Parker and Mustaparta's pale blue coats are very much on-trend, we're fond of outerwear in other pastel hues as well. Take, for instance, Dakota Fanning's boxy Simone Blazer ($560) in Blushed from the F/W 11 collection. Spotted out in New York last month, the actress paired the jacket with Acne's Ry Angora Knit Sweater ($250) from the Resort 12 collection and Equipment's Daddy One Pocket Jewel Tip Collar Shirt ($546). Fanning's black pants and boots offer an edgy counterpoint to the sweet combo of pale pink and mint green. For a casual preppy take on pastels, we adore Fearne Cotton's look. The British TV/radio presenter braved a drizzle in London last month as she was leaving BBC Radio Studios in a ruffled beige coat, blue jeans, and Topshop's pink cable knit sweater. A bright green headband and cool pink shades serve as retro-inspired accents and further enhance Cotton's polished ensemble!
If, however, you're interested in pastels that have little to do with outerwear, look no further than Laura Bailey and Lily Collins. Bailey was spotted at London Fashion Week in late February sporting a pale pink outfit that was anything but demure! The model wore Balenciaga's white cardigan over Christopher Kane's S/S 12 embellished shirt. The flashy top, with its attention-grabbing sparkle, gets toned down with Sessun's cuffed trousers and Miu Miu's brown heels from the S/S 10 collection. Bailey also accessorized with oversized Chanel sunglasses and a rose pink Radley Goldington Patent Clutch ($109) to complete her uptown-meets-downtown getup. Meanwhile, Collins attended the Marni at H&M collection launch in Los Angeles last month in head-to-toe Marni S/S 12. The actress donned the label's Pleated Sheath Dress ($945), but smartly grounded the dainty, cutesy frock with a cool white clutch and studded Mary Jane pumps.
If dwelling on pastels has got you ready to take on the seasonal trend, we've got you covered with a variety of affordable (and some indulgent) options! If you're in need of pastel outerwear, take a look at Calvin Klein's Vintage Trench Coat ($190), Vanessa Bruno's Cotton And Linen-Blend Coat ($205), or Valentino's Roma Polka-Dot Wool And Silk-Blend Coat ($499), all in suitable shades of cool blue. You can channel Parker's ladylike look in Sue Wong's Battenburg Lace Short Dress ($335) or Aidan Mattox's Niteline Cowl-Neck Lace Dress ($375), or vie for Mustaparta's dressed-down vibe in Lauren by Ralph Lauren's Slimming Classic Straight Corduroy Pants ($40) or Christopher Blue's Silverton Cigarette Land O Lakes Cord ($65). For those wishing to emulate Fanning's blazer-and-sweater outfit, check out Topshop's Co-Ord Fluid Blazer ($120) and Halogen's Textured Long Sleeve Sweater ($40) in Green Celadon for the perfect pink and mint green color combo. You can also mimic Cotton's preppy ensemble in Tommy Hilfiger's Jenny Long Sleeve Solid Cable Knit Sweater ($40) in New Ballerina Pink, worn underneath Vince Camuto's Ruffle Front Trench Taupe ($108) or, for those willing to shell out a little more, Red Valentino's Ruffled Trench Coat ($866). However, if you want to venture away from outerwear, derive inspiration from Bailey's unique getup and sport ASOS' Shell Top With Floret Embellishment ($44) and J.Crew's Perfect-Fit Mixed-Tape Cardigan ($25) in White with either Rugby Ralph Lauren's Slim Boyfriend Chino ($80) in Pink or SESSUN's Causal Pants ($105), two pink trouser options which would make Bailey proud! If you love Collins' sweet little number, as we do, check out Paul by Paul Smith's Short Dress ($158), See by Chloe's Denim Bustier Babydoll Dress ($295), and Marni's Textured Silk Dress ($436). All three frocks serve as lovely alternatives to Collins' pastel dress--just don't forget to wear yours with edgy accents for the actress' cool-girl panache. And of course, whatever pastel look you choose, make sure to pas-tell us all about it!--Tiffany Tse

357: Flies
Title text: I don't know about houseflies, but we definitely caught a lot of fruit flies with our vinegar bowl. Hooray science!
[edit] Explanation
The saying "you catch more flies with honey than vinegar" means that people are more likely to be won over with politeness than hostility.
When Cueball's friend tells him this after he replies to a "noob" using swear words, he then says that the saying is literally false by saying that balsamic vinegar attracts more flies than honey. He then tells his friend to try it with his own fruit flies. Fruit flies are attracted to the products of fermentation, particularly to alcohol and ethanoic acid. The acidity in vinegar is due mostly to ethanoic acid.
When Cueball's statement is found true, as balsamic vinegar smells like sweet and decomposing fruit to the fruit flies, his friend complains to his mother that she lied to him. He then says that another saying, "a watched pot never boils", is also literally false. That saying means that an event that is monitored with impatient attention will seem to take longer.
In the title text it seems that Randall explains why he wrote this comic — his vinegar bowl attracted a lot of fruit flies. However, he has not done the experiment with houseflies.
The notion of a watched pot not boiling is ascribed to Benjamin Franklin under the pseudonym "Poor Richard". He writes "a watched pot is slow to boil", meaning "Time feels longer when you're waiting for something to happen."[1]
[edit] Transcript
- [Cueball is typing on a computer, and his friend is lying on the floor.]
- "Noob" (on computer): *$@#!
- Friend: Hey, ease up on the noobs. Like my mom always said, you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
- [Cueball has turned his chair around.]
- Cueball: No, you don't.
- Friend: You don't?
- Cueball: Nope, set out a bowl of balsamic and a bowl of honey. The vinegar gets more.
- [Cueball's friend is now sitting on the floor.]
- Friend: ...Seriously?
- Cueball: You have fruit flies. Try it yourself.
- Later:
- [Cueball's friend is standing in front of a table, talking into a phone. On the table, there are two bowls, and the bowl on the left seems to be surrounded by flies.]
- Friend: Mother! You lied to me! And it gets worse. I was watching a pot yesterday, and guess what it did? It boiled, mother.
add a comment! ⋅ refresh comments!
Actually, the saying was originally "A watched pot never boils over." This means that you should watch a pot to make sure the water doesn't spill out.188.8.131.52 17:57, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
Pretty sure that A watched pot never boils is an expression unto its own. If you sat and watched a pot long enough it would still boil over, on the macro scale there is no effect on observing something. 188.8.131.52 09:10, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
I thought that this expression meant that the water boiling process have a Murphy law like property in it: that the pot tends to boil over when you turn away from it. 220.127.116.11 21:59, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
CLEARLY the idea is that you are waiting for the pot to boil so that you can add something to it. You are not waiting for it to boil over; you are waiting for it to boil. The point is that many things that you want in life take longer to eventuate than you think, and sitting there fixating on them doesn't actually help and is a waste of time. Do something else useful in the meantime; the pot will boil when it's ready. 220.127.116.11 19:48, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
Honey has a much higher sugar content than Balsamic vinegar. My hypothesis for this is that the real draw fro the flies is related to fragrance 18.104.22.168 19:18, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
- I agree on this and updated the explanation. Mumiemonstret (talk) 14:10, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
Could this be a metaphor for trolling?Richmond tudor (talk) 00:24, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Video: Meet Mr. Brown
CHINA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - We're continuing our reports from Around the World in Maine with a stop in China.
Many of you mentioned the China Dine-ah! The Morning Report team never passes an opportunity to have a good meal in a local diner, but we had no idea what kind of people we'd find inside.
Does the country of China have a dineah called the China Dine-ah? I doubt it.
And it almost definitely doesn't have its own World War II veteran to call its own, Mr. Larry Brown, a well-known troublemaker.
Mr. Brown, as he's fondly called at the dineah, was their very first customer. He hasn't left since.
When his wife of 57 years passed away, he searched for some way to fill some of that emotional void.
He says, "But I talk to her every morning and I talk to her every night, and give her picture a big kiss. I'm really still in love."
Here in this diner, thanks to the warm and generous staff, Mr. Brown found a way to be mostly whole again. But as it turns out, he wasn't the lucky one.
Jean Johnson, a waitress at the diner, says, "Then I'd go through car issues and he would let me borrow a vehicle of his. I had it one time for a week, not even knowing him before this."
A couple of times a week Mr. Brown and Jean share a few laughs, maybe some inappropriate jokes, and a cup of coffee, all while trying to brighten up somebody's day.
Brown says, "You just try to make them happy. Smile and sometimes they come right out of it. By the time they leave they're very happy."
So sometimes you don't have to go half-way around the world to find eternal bliss, the tiny town of China is serving it up every morning.

ST. PETE BEACH, Florida - The Sloppy Pelican on St. Pete Beach has amazing views, but customers say the food is just as impressive.
"The hamburger was just delicious," said customer Jean Haworth. "They said it was the best burger on the beach, and it was!"
But the Sloppy Pelican may actually be living up to its name, according to its latest health inspection report on March 14. That's when the state documented 21 basic, three intermediate, and seven HIGH PRIORITY violations, prompting an emergency closure.
Among the problems were:
- Temperature violations on the fish and sour cream
- A vegetable slicer soiled with old food debris
- Soil residue on shelves throughout the kitchen
- A hand washing sink not available for employee use
- Small flying insects in the bar area
- Close to 50 live roaches crawling on a shelf in the deli cooler and on the steamer, where the inspector found an egg sack as well
The inspector also wrote up the restaurant for using household insecticide to treat the bug problem, and for finding medication stored above the salad cooler.
We wanted to find out what was going on, so last week we stopped by to ask if the issues were corrected.
"They certainly have been," said manager Howard Wilson. "All of [the state's] concerns were addressed immediately."
But when we asked to take a look inside the kitchen ourselves, we got a quick answer. "Absolutely not," said Wilson. "We're a little busy upstairs right now. I just can't have you in right now."
Customers weren't too happy to hear about that.
"Oh, no! We're in trouble," said Haworth, concerned about what the restaurant might be hiding.
In fact, state inspectors have required six follow up inspections at the Sloppy Pelican over the past two years. They made their latest stop after receiving a complaint reporting roaches in the kitchen, employees not wearing gloves when prepping food, and even employees eating off customer trays before taking food out to the table.
"There's too many things going around, especially with not washing the hands," said Linda Cordell on her second visit to the restaurant. "That's where you get sick."
The state allowed the restaurant to reopen the following day, but with 12 remaining violations.
"It was definitely to the liking of the health inspector," said Wilson. "He was working with us, he was with us first thing in the morning, and we were open regular hours the next day."
But customers say they want to make sure the Sloppy Pelican's kitchen really is cleaned up before they'll consider eating there again.
"I think it should be clean," said Haworth. "I wouldn't eat if my kitchen was dirty, and I don't want to eat in their kitchen if it's dirty."

The Norwood-Norfolk Modified Softball team stung the Madrid-Waddington Yellowjackets 15-3 on Wednesday.
Pitcher Cassidy Weaver looked very sharp while earning the win with six strikeouts in four innings of work. Bryanna Powell pitched three strong innings in relief, ringing up seven strikeouts.
At the plate, the Lady Flyers again showed great power as Breanna DeShanestroked two triples in three at-bats and Bethany Belmore had a double and a triple in three trips to the plate. Katrina Durant went 3-for-3 at the plate and added four stolen bases. Catcher Sidney Molnar had an outstanding defensive game, throwing out a runner attempting to steal second base and picking off a runner at third.
S. Newcomb had a terrific all-around game for the Yellowjackets, pitching four strong innings and going 3-for-3 at the plate, to include a double in the gap. K. Travis had a stellar defensive performance at third base for the Jackets with five put-outs and a great running catch behind the bag. Madrid-Waddington catcher A.

BUFFALO - Eight hours after walking off the job, the strike at Rural Metro is over.
Negotiations between Rural Metro and the Teamsters Union continued through the night with the help of a federal mediator.
"There has been a lot of hard work put into this process over the last few weeks and certainly the last 24 hours," said Jay Smith, Rural/Metro Division General Manager. "We're pleased to have come to this favorable agreement so that our EMTs and Paramedics can return to the communities they serve. We also owe a debt of gratitude to our partners in healthcare and first response and particularly those dedicated EMTs, Paramedics and staff who left their homes and families to serve the communities of Western New York."
The deal is tentative and still needs to be approved by union members.
Teamsters President Kevin Drysdale say this is a 4 year deal that improves wages and health benefits for members while still making Rural Metro profitable.
Rural Metro paramedics and emergency medical technicians went on strike at 12:01 a.m Tuesday.
Rural Metro put a contingency plan in action to make sure ambulance service continued during the strike.

If you missed it over the weekend, 2-On-Your-Side will be re-airing our Ralph Wilson legacy special three times this week over the air on WGRZ 2-2, Time Warner 114, and 460 on Fios.
It is scheduled to air Wednesday at 7:00pm, Friday at 10:00pm, and Sunday at 2:00pm.
This is a project we actually started back in November. Along the lines of the in-depth reporting that WGRZ has developed a reputation for doing, it was suggested we do an hour long look at Ralph Wilson as one of the most influential men in the history of Western New York.
It became especially timely on New Year's Day when for just the second time during his ownership, he passed on the title of team president.
Wilson is 94, and he's likely given up operational control of the team for the final time. That to me signals the end of a very significant era and lends additional meaning to a project like this one.
We asked that Mr. Wilson take part, but at this point he has not granted us an interview. Bills President and CEO Russ Brandon did contribute along with a host of others. That list includes Jim Kelly, Bill Polian, Marv Levy, Steve Tasker, Booker Edgerson, Ed Rutkowski, Mark Gaughan and Jerry Sullivan of the Buffalo News, and Joe Horrigan from the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
It goes without saying that we'll also hear from Ed Kilgore who has covered sports in Buffalo since 1973. Veteran reporter Scott Brown will also look at Wilson's tenure from a news and political perspective.
Our goal has been to provide a balanced look at the past, present, and future of Wilson's ownership. Obviously there are a myriad of contributions and questions involved, and we've tried to do our best to highlight the most significant ones.
Having worked here since 1997, I have certainly developed a sense of many of those over the years, along with an appreciation for the impact Wilson has had on the game as an original AFL owner, and a driving force behind the merger with the NFL and the development of the game as we know it today.
I've also covered the 13-year playoff drought, and realize that Ralph has many shortcomings as an owner as well. His willingness to spend money, his ability to trust those who work for him, and his reactions in terms of some of the decisions he's made when those relationships don't go well. It's certainly fueled a high level of frustration among Bills fans despite Wilson's Hall of Fame legacy.
We hope you join us Saturday night at 9pm on Channel 2 for the first airing of this program, and hope you find it both entertaining and informative.

More blocks for my Craftster gang ...
8 comments:
fun blocks! I love all the colors :)ReplyDelete
Those look great. The second row, on the left and center are probably my favorites. (at this moment)ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing those with us.
These really did turn out great; you always do an awesome job.ReplyDelete
John - those are great! I love the greens and the blues the best!!!ReplyDelete
Wow! Impressive! I love the apples!ReplyDelete
you really have wonderfull hands.
Those are perfect.
I´m a beginner, hoping to do something like these some day.
Those are pretty blocks - love the horse one.ReplyDelete
I really enjoy your fabric/color placement on the one with the spools. On closer examination, I see it's just half-square triangles with flying geese units, but you did a TERRIFIC job with unique fabric placement. It looks far more complex than it is.ReplyDelete
I also enjoy seeing the different fabric placements on the same block, like the horse and the Red White and Blue blocks.
Thanks for sharing. You are such and inspiration!

Phoenix plating company fined for hazardous waste
PHOENIX — A company has been fined $100,000 for hazardous waste violations
at its central Phoenix plating facility.
The state Department of Environmental Quality announced Friday that PAS
Technologies Inc. was cited for 15 violations, including the release of
hexavalent chromium and illegally treating cyanide wastewater.
The case against PAS Technologies included 10 different violations of disposal
of hazardous waste without a permit.
PAS Technologies also was cited failure to perform hazardous waste
determination and four violations in its employee training, handling, marking
and storage of waste fluorescent lamps.
ADEQ launched the Plating Initiative in 2008 after inspections showed many
facilities weren't in compliance with the state law that regulates hazardous
The fine is part of a consent judgment entered in Maricopa County Superior
Court. It's still subject to court approval.

The last administration we are told fed us a pack of lies about Iraq. Well, first of all the information they gave us came from the Clinton administration, so if any one fed us lies it was Clinton. We had a good seed from that administration, but all the major powers that are our allies had the same information from their intelligence agencies.
May I also remind you that both sides of Congress voted for the war. I will admit that our President today was not in on the vote. Maybe he would of voted "present" like he did so often in his home state. Too bad he is not present today on his job.
We did have some military members that did some bad things, like taking pictures of nude men, but what the left calls torture and what real torture is, are not only not on the same page they are not in the same state. Ask any man held by the Japanese during World War II or those that were POW's in the Vietnam War what real torture is. As to the violation of the Geneva Conventions, those rules do not give any protections to non-military combatants and they are the type of people we are fighting.
The last administration did not eliminate any jobs, factory or other wise. This may come as a surprise to members of the Democratic party but people do not go into business to provide jobs for union members or anyone else. They go into it to make money. When state and federal governments make tax laws and other regulations that make this impossible and unions demand so much that the business can no longer compete in the market, they are going to move. Speaking of unions, did you know that more union members work in government then in the private sector?
Look it up. Senator Obama voted for the $700 billion bailout and then when he became President he went for trillions.
One last question to my Democratic friends out there. You say the rich do not pay their fair share of taxes. Who are the rich and what is a fair share?

Read: There Will Be A Season and It Will Be 48 Games
Last night, former Tampa Bay GM Brian Lawton and agent Brian Lawton said that he didn't expect anything to come from mediation but did indicate that a deal will be in place between 12/15 and 12/25.
He says that time period is the final one before the season would be cancelled and he believes that one side will blink and that there are enough supporters on both sides to make the deal happen.
Is this just wishful thinking? No absolutely not. I don't predict many things but this is 1 I believe will happen!
John Buccigross tweeted. "NHL player told me NHL team front office person told him, 48 game schedule beginning in Jan. is already outlined."
Evgeni Malkin's agent disagreed and said that he thinks there is a 90% chance that the season will be canceled.
Darren Dreger said on TSN last night that if the league starts by the middle or third week of January the league would be able to play 46 games, all divisional and conference, that would end on May 1.

Hosted in the Clevelander at Marlins Park, guests enjoyed appetizers and unlimited cocktails thanks to beverage in-kind sponsors Premier Beverage, Budweiser and Pepsi Co. Joined by Marlins players and alumni, Trivia teams received raffle tickets for a Marlins duo to join their team for the night. FS Florida's Tommy Hutton and MLB Broadcasting Hall of Famer Dave Van Horne MC'd the night's festivities. Special guest, Matt Hammond, hosted six rounds of tantalizing trivia, ranging from questions such as "Who is on the dime?", to "In what country are professional major league baseballs' made?". If teams got a little stumped on a question, they were given the opportunity to get advice from the dynamic Expert Panel. Marlins Infielder Greg Dobbs joined Marlins President David Samson, Marlins General Manager Mike Hill, and FS Florida personality Craig Minervini, on the Expert Panel. In the end, Saul Kravec's team won 1st Place with 121 points! They received $1,500 cash, six (6) Bacardi Dugout Club tickets to a Marlins 2013 home game, and their team registration fee of $250 donated to a charity of their choice. Special thank you to all of the event sponsors: Dade Paper, The Clevelander, Premier Beverage, Budweiser, Pepsi Co and The Miami Foundation.
