#9 Coastal Carolina and Winthrop Win on Wednesday
Obougou Leads Winthrop Over Gardner-Webb In Double-Overtime
ROCK HILL, SC- Achille Obougou's goal in the 102nd minute gave Winthrop a 2-1 victory in double-overtime over Gardner-Webb, Wednesday evening in Big South Conference men's soccer action.
Winthrop trailed 1-0 at the half, but rallied for the victory to even its record to 7-7-1 overall and 3-3-1 in the league while Gardner-Webb falls to 3-12-1 overall and 2-4-1 in the conference.
Alex Isern collected a ball that made its way across the mouth of the goal, then turned toward the end line and crossed the ball on the ground as Obougou collected the pass, took and touch to his right and then fired a shot from around the six-yard box into the top right corner of the frame for the game-winner. It was his sixth goal of the season and third-game winning goal.
The Runnin' Bulldogs had a couple of free headers straight on from goal in the first overtime, but were unable to put them on frame. The first came in the 92nd minute off the head of Chris Davis from around eight yards out and the second off the foot of Chijioke Akujuobi as his shot from just inside the 18-yard box looked as if it had a chance to find the corner of the goal but was turned away and out of bounds for a corner by a Winthrop defender.
Trailing at the half, Winthrop managed to tie the match in the second half with a goal by Alex Isern in the 57th minute. The ball was cleared out to the top of the box on a corner kick and Adam Brundle cracked a one-touch shot from about 22 yards out and the shot was knocked down by a hand of a Gardner-Webb defender and a penalty shot was awarded. Isern stepped up and ripped the shot into the back of the net.
Winthrop had a few good chances in the first half but it was Gardner-Webb that led at the break thanks to a goal in the 10th minute off some nice quick work with the ball. The Runnin' Bulldogs won the ball in the Eagles defensive third and Marius Hammersmark played a quick 1-2 pass with Chris Davis that set up Hammersmark free in the box. He then played a ball to the top of the six-yard box in front of the net and Jordan Taylor hammered it home as defenders closed in on him.
The best chance for the Eagles came in the 7th minute off a set piece. Josh Mort stepped up and delivered a long throw into the box that slipped through the hands of Scott Krotee as Magnus Thorsson ran on but he couldn't keep the ball down on his header and it connected with the crossbar and shot out for the Runnin' Bulldogs defense to clear.
Both teams got forward a lot in the match and created several opportunities as the Eagles finished the game with a 22-17 advantage in shots. Krotee finished with four saves while Enrique Miranda made six.
Winthrop will be back in action on Saturday when it hosts Virginia Military Institute at 3 p.m. while Gardner-Webb travels to Lynchburg, VA on Saturday to take on Liberty at 2 p.m.
Garbanzo Hat Trick Leads Ninth-Ranked Coastal Carolina Over Gamecocks
COLUMBIA, S.C. - Ricky Garbanzo recorded each of Coastal Carolina's goals in the second half as the ninth-ranked Chanticleers dropped South Carolina 3-2 on Wednesday evening in front of 688 fans at the Gamecocks' Stone Stadium.
Coastal Carolina (14-1-2, 8-0-0 Big South) improves its current win streak to 11 games and unbeaten streak to 15 consecutive. Coastal also improves to 5-2-1 all-time against South Carolina.
Seventeen minutes after falling behind 1-0 on the scoreboard Garbanzo decided South Carolina had led long enough. The sophomore forward found the net 1:57 into the second half off a shot inside the goal box. A deep Shawn McLaws throw in from the right side set up the play. McLaws' toss was headed once each in the box by Pedro Ribeiro and Kjartan Sigurdsson before settling at the foot of Garbanzo three yards in front of an empty net.
Garbanzo was not satisfied with a tie with the Gamecocks and proceeded to find the net again two minutes later. This time Garbanzo showed off his skills as he converted arguably Coastal's prettiest goal of the season. McLaws chipped a pass over his defender toward Garbanzo on the right side of the box. The Rock Hill, S.C., native, elevated and bicycle kicked the pass over the Gamecock keeper and into the far side of the net.
Garbanzo produced his third goal of the match and first hat trick of his career at the 52:38 mark. Ashton Bennett fed Garbanzo a touch pass inside the '18 for his fourth assist of the season.
The Gamecocks refused to go away quietly, scoring their second goal with 17:35 remaining. Bradlee Baladez found the counter with a 20-yard strike toward the left side of the net. The goal represented only the second multi-goal game allowed by the Chanticleers this season.
For only the second time this season the Chants found themselves behind on the scoreboard at the half. In the 32nd minute of play a long goal kick by South Carolina's Robert Beebe was collected near the '18 by Baladez. Baladez dribbled toward the end line and slid a cross in front of the net to the streaking Snoopy Davidson who finished the play. The goal, Davidson's second of the season, snapped the Chants 920:18 tied or leading streak.
Coastal was not without opportunities in the first half, holding a 9-4 edge in shot attempts and 2-0 lead in corners. Coastal was afforded a prime opportunity with 15 minutes to play as Justin Portillo stood over a free kick near the '18. Portillo sent the ball to the head of Ribeiro. Ribeiro headed the ball down to the surface; however, the Gamecocks were able to knock it away before a shot was attempted. Coastal earned a pair of corners in the 36th minute, but the Chants could only muster a single wide shot off the foot of Ribeiro.
The Chants finished the game with a 16-10 advantage is shot, including a 6-5 edge in shots on frame. Chanticleer goal keeper Federico Bertele recorded three saves on his way to picking up his 12th win of the season.
Coastal Carolina returns to the pitch for a 2 p.m. kickoff on Saturday, Oct 27 at Radford. A win or tie against the Highlanders will give the Chants their second consecutive and 11th overall Big South Conference regular season championship. Coastal won last season's meeting 4-1 to take command of the all-time series 13-12-3.

- recycled plastic soda bottles
- white glue
- tissue paper
- aluminum foil duct tape
- large plastic beads, like the kinds given to toddlers to string
- a piece of thick yarn, or cotton rope or the string of your choice
- a branch or dowel, or embroidery hoop as a base for hanging.
How To:
Make flowers according to instructions here. Cover necks of bottles with aluminum duct tape, as well as the tips of some flowers. Now for the assembly, which you'll do from the bottom up, for each string of flowers. Tie a knot in the yarn, slip on a large plastic bead and then thread the yarn through the neck of the bottle from the bottom up. Simple as that. Decide where you'd like the next flower to be, tie a knot in the yarn, and string on another bead, and then a flower.
Got it? The beads hold the flower in place. You can use something else, or even make holes in the caps from the bottles if you have the time, just the bead trick is so quick and simple, and looks good if the mobile will be viewed from underneath.
Hang strands of flowers from a painted white branch, as I did, or use a dowel or two crossed dowels or an embroidery hoop for a round as opposed to flat mobile. Here's a shot of the top of mine, hung in the succah:
I used heavy weight blue yarn as the string, because that's what I had on hand, and crafting my style is using what I have on hand! However, since you'll be making this with just a bit of forethought, I'd think white yarn or string with with a white branch might look just a bit more polished, you decide!

Here They Are — Winners of 2011's Mobile Apps Showdown
It's been a prolonged and intense completion but, finally, you've had your say. When I say "you," I mean those of you who have or will actually put our contestants to the test of real and every day life.
You've declared the two winners of Mobile Apps Showdown CES 2011. A live audience at this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas selected DriveSafe.ly 2.0, an app that addresses the hazards of road distraction. Voters in an online ballot elected Line2, which gives smartphone users a second line.
The two apps bested some 70 others that participated in the competition. A team of 10 judges from the NetShelter Technology Media network of sites — the guys who appear on the right site of every page here — whittled the field to 25 semifinalists, all of which were included in the online Winner-Take-All vote. They then selected the 10 finalists, each of which appeared before some 500 CES attendees.
DriveSafe.ly won in a "voice vote" by the live audience. We used a tried-and-true applause-o-meter vote. After all 10 finalists had presented themselves in a strictly enforced four-minute "demo," it attracted the biggest cheer, as measured by the room's sound system.
Line2 won the online ballot with 51,832 votes
DriveSafe.ly was developed to rescue multitasking drivers from the temptation of keeping only one eye on the road and the other on their smartphone. It lets you listen to your text and email via a real-time text to speech feature. If you're driving, the app also automatically responds on your behalf with a message indicating that you're busy.
Line 2 is a service that helps you add second line to your regular mobile number. Instead of routing a single line to multiple phones, this application allows you to set granular controls on your business and personal numbers and allows you to switch between regular voice, wifi and 3G connections. For $15 dollars per month it can save you a ton on long distance bills and it even offers a conference call feature.

Pitt heads to DePaul with Big East seeds at stake
ACC Videos
Pitt's most dominant performance of the season came against DePaul, a 38-point victory that saw the Panthers wear down the Blue Demons with depth and rebounding.
What have been strengths for No. 20 Pitt (23-7, 11-6) could be concerns when the Panthers play DePaul (11-19, 2-15) in their final Big East regular-season game at 2 p.m. Saturday at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Ill.
Starting center Steven Adams missed Sunday's game against Villanova with a left ankle sprain. The 7-foot freshman is expected to play, but was sore and limping in practice this week and could be limited.
His backup, 6-9 senior Dante Taylor, also missed two practices with a stomach illness. That could force 6-9 power forward Talib Zanna, coming off a 14-point, 19-rebound game, to play the post.
"They're obviously not ideal (circumstances), but that's where we're at," coach Jamie Dixon said. "Depth is our strength … but if you take one away, it changes your depth."
Pitt's depth doomed DePaul in a 93-55 victory Jan. 26 at Petersen Events Center, as the Panthers' bench outscored the Blue Demons, 52-26. Pitt also enjoyed a 58-34 rebounding margin, as Adams had 14, Taylor eight and Zanna six.
Another area of concern is DePaul's press. Pitt had 18 turnovers in the first game against the Blue Demons, who have since started to rely more upon press defense.
"I'm sure they'll throw a different look at us," said junior guard Trey Zeigler, who scored a season-high 18 points against DePaul. "When you have a game like we had, you played really well, they're going to try to take something away."
To make matters worse, freshman point guard James Robinson injured his thumb in practice this week. Robinson leads the Big East and ranks seventh nationally in assist-to-turnover ratio (3.18).
Dixon expects DePaul to press all 40 minutes, and is putting an emphasis on the Panthers to score. In the first game against DePaul, Pitt scored 48 points in the paint, 26 on the fastbreak, 23 off turnovers and 16 on second chances.
"That's key: You've got to score. You've got to attack," Dixon said. "You've got to take care of it, obviously, but you have to get some baskets on the back end of it and make good decisions on the back end of it."
The Panthers know not to overlook DePaul, which has lost five consecutive games and 14 of its past 15, because the Blue Demons handed them a loss last season.
And Pitt needs a victory to earn a top-four seed and double bye for the Big East Tournament next week.
The Panthers are in a three-way tie for fourth place with Notre Dame and Syracuse. The No. 17 Orange play at No. 5 Georgetown at noon, while the No. 24 Irish play at No. 8 Louisville at 4 p.m.
If Pitt beats DePaul and Notre Dame loses, the Panthers will earn the fourth seed, regardless of what Syracuse does. If Pitt and Notre Dame win and Syracuse loses, Pitt is the fifth seed. If all three win, Pitt finishes as the sixth seed. If all three lose, Pitt is the fourth seed.
"We're definitely aware of that, but we've got to take care of business," Zeigler said. "We can't really worry about what everyone else is doing or how it falls. We have to make sure we take care of what we can control."

Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer for Emission Control
Product Announcement from Anguil Environmental Systems, Inc.
The Anguil RTO achieves emission destruction through the process of high temperature thermal combustion, converting the pollutants to carbon dioxide and water vapor while reusing the thermal energy generated to reduce operating costs. It differs from the catalytic, recuperative and direct-fired oxidizer technologies in that destruction is achieved with little to no auxiliary fuel required once the RTO is brought up to temperature.
How the Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer Works:
VOC and HAP laden process gas enters the oxidizer through an inlet manifold to flow control, poppet valves that direct these gases into the first energy recovery chamber where it is preheated. The process gas and contaminants are progressively heated in the ceramic media beds as they move toward the combustion chamber.
Once oxidized in the combustion chamber, the hot purified air releases thermal energy as it passes through the second media bed in the outlet flow direction. The outlet bed is heated and the gas is cooled so that the outlet gas temperature is only slightly higher than the process inlet temperature. Poppet valves alternate the airflow direction into the media beds to maximize energy recovery within the oxidizer. The high energy recovery within these oxidizers reduces the auxiliary fuel requirement and saves operating cost. The Anguil oxidizer achieves high destruction efficiency and self-sustaining operation with no auxiliary fuel usage at low concentrations.

There's water everywhere.
If you're the guy in charge of keeping the mosquito population down in Adams County, that's never what you want to hear. Turns out this time of year it's especially bad news.
Matthew Stough, West Nile virus technician with the county's conservation district, said all that rain from Tuesday likely will lead to more late-summer mosquitoes, and possibly an increase in West Nile virus, which has already made its presence felt this year in southcentral Pennsylvania.
"I would expect to see an increase in floodwater species (of mosquitoes) and possibly a jump in West Nile," he said. "There could definitely be a spike to worry about here at the end of the season."
A series of storms drenched Adams and York counties on Tuesday, with more than 3.6 inches of rain recorded at York Airport in Thomasville. Roads flooded, creeks bubbled over and water that fell too fast to be absorbed in the ground was left in yards and fields.
Stough said that drenching has led to areas of standing water throughout the area. While mosquitoes take several days after such an event to lay their eggs, the breeding grounds will certainly be ripe over the next few days, he said.
Stough's office is already preparing, taking advance samples and readings for spraying next week in what traditionally are the county's high-risk areas.
Those include the eastern portion of the county - the East Berlin, Abbottstown and Bonneauville areas, and Conewago Township, as well as Gettysburg Borough, Stough said.
That spraying will supplement planners' previously scheduled work, which Stough said typically runs through the middle of October. The latter part of the season traditionally brings a spike in West Nile virus activity, he said, especially when the weather remains warm through the early fall.
Until the first good frost, concern over the mosquito-borne virus will continue.
"Mosquitoes don't know what month it is," he said. "They hang on right until the end, and cold weather."
The West Nile virus has already been detected in unusually high numbers this year, particularly in York and Adams counties. According to the state's West Nile virus control program website, Adams County has had 332 positive samples, most of them from mosquitoes and more than any county in Pennsylvania save for York County.
York County has seen 362 positive tests this year, including one reported human case confirmed in late August.
Calls to York County's West Nile coordinator seeking current information were not returned Wednesday.
Stough said the recent rains could exacerbate those already high numbers, and asked residents to do their parts.
Officials encourage residents to help disperse standing water, turning over kiddie pools and flower pots and any other vessel that can hold water. It only takes a teaspoon of water for mosquitoes to breed.
For many, early fall also means clogged gutters, something Stough said can attract mosquitoes. That's a property issue the county can't address, he said, and an instance in which officials rely on residents to do their part to discourage mosquitoes.
Anyone experience symptoms of West Nile, particularly high fever and headaches, in encouraged to see a doctor, Stough said, adding the more information officials have on the human impact of the virus the better they can address the issue. West Nile is already reported and understood less than it should be, he said, and help is needed to find problem areas.
"I can't believe we haven't had any (human) cases in Adams County this year," he said. "I don't believe that."
Stough said the number of positive tests in local mosquitoes currently rivals the highest numbers in the country, and cautioned residents can expect several more weeks of high risk for West Nile. It's important to know the facts, he said, and to report problems.
"The more information we have," he said, "the better we can protect people."

A Lake County Catholic priest has been placed on administrative leave from his church and law enforcement ministries pending an investigation into allegations of sexual abuse of an altar boy more than a decade ago, church and law authorities said Tuesday.
Father Ted Oswald was suspended Monday from his post at St. Mary Immaculate Church in Lakeport pending an investigation into the allegations, which were made in a civil lawsuit, said Santa Rosa Diocese spokeswoman Deirdre Frontczak.
The lawsuit, filed last month in Sonoma County Superior Court, alleges sexual misconduct involving a minor between 1988 and 1995, said Dan Galvin, attorney for the diocese.
Oswald has vigorously denied the allegations, which he revealed to his parishioners during his last Mass on Sunday. No one was answering the phone at St. Mary Immaculate Church on Tuesday evening, and diocese officials said they did not know where Oswald is staying.
Oswald has never before been accused of misconduct, Galvin said.
"We have no history, nothing in his background to indicate any prior problems, so this came as a complete shock and surprise to us," he said.
The lawsuit names both Oswald and the Santa Rosa Diocese as defendants.
Oswald also has taken a leave of absence from his positions as a chaplain with the Lakeport Police Department and Lake County Sheriff's Office, officials said.
The Lake County District Attorney's Office is investigating the complaint, said District Attorney Jon Hopkins.
Oswald has been a priest at St. Mary Immaculate Church for about 20 years, Galvin said.

For the first time ever, Bill Nye (The Science Guy) and Ed Begley Jr. will both share a stage this Saturday for a talk during the 2009 PSEG Greenfest Expo. What's sure to be a cage match is wisely the last keynote talk of the day; presumably to give paramedics and Hazmat officials a chance to remove bodies and clean up any toxic debris.
As we've mentioned in the past, Begley and Nye have engaged in a "friendly" war of the words over who has the greener lifestyle; with both sides upping the ante each year. Nye moved into Begley's neighbordhood a few years ago and has been installing high-tech green gizmos galore; with Begley keeping a close watch on his progress. "Without Ed down the street pushing all of us to live a more environmentally-responsible lifestyle, I wouldn't be so motivated to crush him like a bug," said Nye in a 2007 interview.
We have no idea what the subject of the talk will be, but we imagine that it will go from a benign slideshow on personal renewable energy to a shouting match and then finally to Nye whipping out a giant homemade volcano filled with volatile baking soda and Begley rolling out a bank of unstable hydrogen fuel cells filled with C4. Boom.
It's going to be awesome. And I totally want to be there.

Hi everyone :)
I lost 4 1/2 stone 3 years ago using SW but after meeting Mr Panda I've put a little (ok a lot) of weight back on. :/
Mr Panda is a submariner in navy and currently deployed for a long arse haul of no contact so I decided that he is gonna come home to a fit slim healthy girlfriend :)
So doing SW again (and being tough and sticking to it) and I've got insanity.
Started a week ago and lost 3lb, 1/2in off my waist and 1 1/2in off my hips. But with little cash I can't afford meetings so hoping you guys don't mind supporting me through the aches pains hunger cravings and probably many tears from missing my man.
Will offer any support I can to anyone else too and I have come up with lots of recipes over the years I can share :)
Can't wait to get to get to know you all :)

Former Louisiana State quarterback Zach Mettenberger throws at Pro Day in March.
- Filed Under
On Nov. 29 of last year, Zach Mettenberger's career as Louisiana State's quarterback came to an end on a 32-yard completion to Jarvis Landry.
On the play, Mettenberger tore an anterior cruciate ligament in a knee and he couldn't have surgery until January.
However, he was back - at about 85 percent - for LSU's Pro Day in early April. ...

Blood typing is a test that determines a person's blood type. The test is essential if you need a blood transfusion or are planning to donate blood. Not all blood types are compatible, so it is important to know your blood group to ensure that if you are given a transfusion your body doesn't make antibodies to attack the donor blood.
The ABO blood typing system groups your blood into one of four categories:
Then, there is the Rh factor blood grouping system:
Together, the ABO and Rh grouping systems yield your complete blood type. There are eight possible types: O+, O-, A+, A-, B+, B-, AB+, and AB-.
Austrian Karl Landsteiner discovered blood types in 1901. Before that, blood transfusions were risky and potentially lethal. Landsteiner made the process much safer, and he was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work.
Blood typing is done prior to a blood transfusion or when classifying a person's blood for donation. Blood typing is a fast and easy way to ensure that you receive the right kind of blood during surgery or after an injury. If you are given incompatible blood, it can lead to blood clumping, or agglutination, which can be fatal.
Blood typing is especially important for pregnant women. If the mother is Rh- and the father is Rh+, the mother and child will have different blood types. In these cases, the mother needs to receive a drug called RhoGAM. This drug will keep her body from attacking the baby's blood cells if their blood becomes mixed, which often happens during pregnancy.
You will need to have your blood drawn in order to have it typed. Having your blood drawn carries a very minimal risks, including:
No special preparation is needed for blood typing. If you think you might feel faint during the test, you may want to have someone else drive you home afterward.
The blood draw can be performed at a hospital or a clinical laboratory. Your skin will be cleaned before the test with an antiseptic to help prevent infection. A nurse or technician will wrap a band around your arm to make your veins more visible. He or she will use a needle to draw several samples of blood from your arm or hand. After the draw, gauze and a bandage will be placed over the puncture site.
In order to determine your blood type, a lab technician will mix your blood sample with antibodies that attack types A and B blood to see how it reacts. If your blood cells clump together when mixed with antibodies against type A blood, for example, you have type B blood. Your blood sample will then be mixed with an anti-Rh serum. If your blood cells clump together in response to the anti-Rh serum, it means that you have Rh+ blood.
Your blood type can be determined in a matter of minutes. Once you know your blood type, you can donate blood and receive transfusions from donors in the compatible blood groups.

Lorraine Feather
Billie Lorraine Feather (born September 10, 1948[1]) is a singer, lyricist, and songwriter.
Lorraine Feather was born in Manhattan. Her parents were jazz writer Leonard Feather and Jane, a former big band singer and ex-roommate of singer Peggy Lee's. Feather's parents named her Billie Jane Lee Lorraine after her godmother Billie Holiday, her mother Jane, Jane's friend Peggy Lee, and the song "Sweet Lorraine." [2]
Her husband is Tony Morales, formerly a drummer for artists such as The Rippingtons, David Benoit and Rickie Lee Jones. The couple moved from Los Angeles to Half Moon Bay, CA at the beginning of this period. In 2007 they relocated to the San Juan Islands in Washington State.
Feather began working in television as a lyricist in 1992 and has received seven Emmy nominations. Her lyrics for children include Disney's Dinosaurs series on ABC and the MGM films Babes In Toyland and An All Dogs Christmas; Feather and composer Mark Watters wrote the themes for MGM's TV shows All Dogs Go to Heaven and The Lionhearts; they also created the piece "Faster, Higher, Stronger" for Jessye Norman to sing in the opening ceremonies of the 1996 Olympics. Feather and composer Larry Grossman wrote the song that Julie Andrews performed in The Princess Diaries 2. Feather has also created lyrics for Disney's feature film The Jungle Book 2 (with Australian jazz musician Paul Grabowsky), and for Pooh's Heffalump Halloween, the PBS series Make Way for Noddy, and the Candy Land and My Little Pony films for Hasbro Toys.
Feather's work has been heard on numerous records, in films and on television. Her songs have been covered extensively by artists such as Phyllis Hyman, Kenny Rankin, Patti Austin, Diane Schuur and Cleo Laine. Many of her own solo CDs have featured contemporary lyrics to formerly instrumental pieces written by Duke Ellington, Fats Waller and other pre-bop composers.[3] Feather's recordings have received glowing reviews in every major jazz magazine. Down Beat has called her work "deliciously savvy"; Jazz Times referred to her as "a lyrical Dorothy Parker" and her lyrical reinventions as "pure genius."
In 2005, Feather began working as lyricist on Canum Entertainment's theatrical project The Thief, based on the Oscar-nominated Russian film and featuring the music of Russian composer Vladimir Shainskiy; The Thief debuted at LA's El Portal Theatre in the summer of 2007. Soon after, she started work on Canum's next musical, Pest Control, with co-lyricist Scott de Turk. She was also commissioned to write lyrics for a musical production of Tom Wolfe's The Bonfire of the Vanities (music by New York neo-classical composer Stefania de Kenessey). American Opera Projects has presented excerpts from this work, and it was featured at the annual Derriere Guard concert in New York in October 2007, with Tom Wolfe as keynote speaker.
Feather has released 12 albums, three in the 1980s with the vocal trio Full Swing. The albums she has done since 2001 have received the widest radio airplay and most press. Two of these were Fats Waller and Duke Ellington projects with her added lyrics. More recently, her CDs have featured original compositions written with such jazz composers as Eddie Arkin, Shelly Berg and Russell Ferrante. Feather's 2010 release, Ages, received a Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Vocal Album, as did 2012's Tales of the Unusual, nominated for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s) for the tune "Out There," arranged by Shelly Berg.

Pause to remember, celebrate veterans with cookout favorites
Memorial Day — a time to enjoy picnics and cook outs with tasty wines and beers.
But it also marks a day for remembrance of the sacrifices of the soldiers who died while serving.
In my youth, folks called it Decoration Day. Families gathered in reunions over the long weekend and visited the cemeteries to clean grave markers and plant flowers.
I recall visiting Union Cemetery in Arnold with my maternal grandfather, a World War I doughboy veteran. We dutifully pulled weeds from around the family tombstones before turning the damp, loamy earth in preparation for planting geraniums. All around, a sea of small American flags fluttered in the brisk wind and bright sunshine to mark veterans' graves.
Afterward, back home, we'd enjoy a simple picnic of grilled hot dogs and burgers — an enduring, tried and true menu.
This year, whatever your Memorial Day traditions and fare, take time to remember those who cared for you and those who cared for our country by making the ultimate sacrifice.
Enjoy the following wines with your holiday cookout:
France's Bordeaux region produces more red wine than any region in the world. But Bordeaux dry white wines also bear close consideration. Lesser-known producers committed to quality offer terrific value on delicious whites with tremendous versatility with food. For a case on point, enjoy the tasty 2011 Château Bellevue Entre Deux Mers, France (Luxury 32721; Chairman's Selection on sale, $9.99).
"Entre Deux Mers" or "Between Two Seas" refers to the vineyards' location on the triangular land bracketed by the Dordogne and Garonne rivers. Here, sauvignon blanc and sémillon vines grow in clay and limestone soils with just enough sunshine to yield distinct fruit retaining vibrant acidity.
The Amécourt family, Château Bellevue's owners, ferments the fruit to highlight ripe grapefruit and mango aromas and flavors. Bracing acidity adds refreshing zest. The dry, yet round and fruity, finish lingers pleasantly. Pair this tasty wine with grilled swordfish with a mango and citrus marinade. Highly recommended.
Randall Grahm, a self-proclaimed "provocateur, punster, philosopher and winemaker," consistently delivers California wines of personality and distinction. The 2010 Bonny Doon Vineyard "My Favorite" Roussanne, Beeswax Vineyard, Arroyo Seco, Calif. (Luxury 32637; Chairman's Selection on sale, $13.99) illustrates perfectly.
First, take the grape, roussanne. While widely planted in France's northern Rhône Valley, it certainly does not enjoy wide domestic recognition. Not to worry. Grown in Arroyo Seco's sunny, wind-whipped and chilly terroir , the variety yields exquisite fruit, the sine qua non for intriguing wine.
Grahm has the sense not to futz with the crop in the winery. Don't look for excessive aging in oak barrels here. Rather, the fruit's lovely aromas and flavors unfold naturally and unaffected.
Enticing honey, pear and floral perfumes waft from the glass. Rich, ripe apricot and honey-kissed flavors counter more angular quince hints. Bright acidity, refreshing mineral notes and subtle creaminess balance and frame the fruity, yet dry, finish. Pair it with chicken grilled with Asian spices or Vietnamese Pho chicken soup and tofu with Thai basil. Highly recommended.
Authentic, red-blooded American zinfandels should be unaffected, easy-drinking, juicy reds. Nowadays, many Zins lose their soul and charm by trying too hard to something more.
They carry excessive alcohol, reaching well over 15 percent. Worse yet, concentrated flavors and excessive new-oak notes render the wines virtually undrinkable. For good measure, they often carry high price tags and heavy, inconvenient bottles. Leave such wines to folks with more money than brains.
Instead, with traditional grilled meats, including slowly cooked pork ribs, steaks and old-fashion hamburgers, stick with traditionally styled American red zinfandels. For example, try the tasty2011 Ravenswood Zinfandel "Vintner's Blend — Old Vine," California (4068; on sale, $9.99).
This classic "field blend" of zinfandel (75 percent), petite sirah (16 percent), syrah (6 percent) and other mixed red-skinned grapes offers fruit-forward aromas of black cherries, raspberries and brown spices. Refreshing red and black fruit flavors balance with light, subtle oak notes and bright acidity. The wine carries a modest 13.5 percent alcohol through the fruity, well-balanced finish. Highly recommended.

Djimon Hounsou keen to star in Marvel's Black Panther movie
MARVEL has long been saying it intends to make a movie based on its African superhero Black Panther, with president of production Kevin Feige confirming at San Diego Comic-Con that the film would arrive sometime after 2012's The Avengers.
The studio's intentions were further signalled in Iron Man 2, released earlier this year. In one scene (see images below), there's a map of the world that highlights part of Africa, and director Jon Favreau stated on the Blu-ray that this was intended as a reference to Black Panther.
So who might play the role? Well, Djimon Hounsou (pictured right), who voiced the character in a short-lived animated series earlier this year, now says he hopes to star in the eventual live-action movie.
It's not the first time Hounsou (Gladiator, Push, Blood Diamond) has been linked with Black Panther.
Director Tim Story had earlier been keen on casting the actor as the Black Panther in one of the Fantastic Four films, although that would have been difficult because of rights issues (Fantastic Four are with Fox and Black Panther is with Marvel).
Hounsou has also been a popular choice with fans, along with Idris Elba, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Jimmy Jean Louis and others, while Wesley Snipes has been campaigning to play the Panther since way back in 1992.
Earlier this year, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje – best known as Mr Eko in TV's Lost – claimed he was in talks to play Black Panther, while Raw Leiba (who appears in the upcoming Conan) has expressed an interest in the character and said he'd spoken to Black Panther comics writer Reginald Hudlin about it.
For those of you know who aren't familiar with the hero, he is the alter-ego of T'Challa, ruler of the fictional African nation of Wakanda, whose technological advances are built on wealth from the also-fictional metal vibranium, which absorbs vibrations and was brought to earth in a meteorite.
T'Challa enhances his strength, speed and senses by using a sacred herb and wears a costume containing vibranium which provides protection and allows him to carry out death-defying acrobatics. In the comics, the Panther knew X-Men character Storm in his teens and in 2006 the pair rekindled their romance and married.
Hounsou tells io9 why he finds the character so appealing and why he hopes to star in the live-action film adaptation.
He said: "He's a king, he's a man of the people, and he's very powerful – he challenges himself throughout his kingdom, and I think that's rare when the king puts his own life [on the line] and challenges [people] to beat him, in order to see [who's] the best out there… He's really cool. He comes from a world in Africa that is cool, and has all those minerals and it's very exciting. It's just a matter of time for that to be realised."
Eagle-eyed fans will have noticed that some elements of the Black Panther's comic book mythos were featured in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Wolverine was part of a team of mutant operatives who travelled to Nigeria to find a meteorite. We later learned that military scientist Stryker had found the rock and extracted a metal that, when combined with several other metals, created an alloy called adamantium used to coat Wolverine's skeleton and make him virtually indestructible. Producer Lauren Shuler Donner confirms on the Blu-ray commentary that the meteor-derived metal was intended to be vibranium, though it was never identified as such on screen.
In the comics, vibranium is also one of the materials used to make Captain America's shield.
It was also the new element synthesised by Tony Stark in Iron Man 2, according to the novelisation of the film.
Meanwhile, here are the maps shown in Iron Man 2 that hint at Nick Fury's awareness of the Black Panther and his African kingdom:

TUCKER -- Thanks to another stellar defensive performance, the Rockdale girl's basketball team got back to its winning ways.
Breanna Richardson scored 12 points, Tennessee State signee Brianna Lawrence added 10 points and six steals as Rockdale defeated Tucker, 48-35.
Rockdale (10-1), which last time out had its season-opening nine-game winning streak snapped in the championship game of the Peach State Holiday Invitational, bounced back by holding an opponent to 36 points or less for the sixth time.
"I was very proud of them; I'm excited about it," first-year Bulldogs coach Sherri Williams said. "Coming off our first loss ... but they came back and settled down (Tucker was) a solid team."
While the combination of Lawrence and Richardson continued to lead the Conyers school, the play of Kree Clark (nine points, 17 rebounds) and one of the toughest defenses in Region 8-AAAA helped lead to the road win Tuesday.
"(Lawrence and Richardson) have a good chemistry together, they know where each other is going to be on the court (but) I came with some different offense as well as some different defenses," Williams said. "(Defense is) our strength and we keep improving every game, the games are getting more competitive. That's what we've been doing from day one, taking these games (and) evaluating them and improving our defense."
The Rockdale boys were trying to snap a two-game losing streak when they played Tucker in the nightcap, which ended too late for this edition.

The Secrets and Magic of Being a Mother
Maybe you are a dude, a dad. Or possibly a lady wondering if this mothering thing is up your alley. Perhaps you are a mother, trying to figure out if your normal is actually normal, or if you should start pretending a little harder. I'm writing for you, all of you. But be warned: I'm on day eight of an eleven day stretch of single-parenting this ship. Not only that, but two -- yes two -- of my three man-children are down with fevers. I'm Xena Warrior Princessing this family currently and am under a little distress.
What better time to break down what it is to be a mother? The stuff you don't know. Start here:
- Mothers are kind of mean. Mostly to ourselves.
Not including those jealous meanies in the playground who suck their teeth at how we encourage our little ones to successfully climb up the slide because really we are much too smart to even think we can win that battle of "stairs only" when obviously the slide is meant to be climbed, not including those meanies -- we beat ourselves up in the most cutting of ways.
I've yet to meet a mother who does not mentally inventory her failures at the end of the day. We all process them differently. Sometimes it shows up as frustration towards the child, sometimes it comes out as anger towards a spouse, and sometimes it just manifests with a huffy breath and backwards fall onto a couch. But we all feel the potency of each disagreement, each mishandled and overreacted bump with our children x1000 at the end of the day. I usually am able to desperately reach for a few wins -- maybe I made Smitty laugh more than usual, or maybe Sheppy shared with a stranger. Maybe Roan offered up a sliver of his day that was important to him. Those are wins. I try to bump out all the rain of messy things with those. But as a mother, we hold the responsibility of all wrong things on our shoulders. We teeter between feeling absolutely overwhelmed and wondering if we're not quite grateful enough for what we have.
This is why we need time alone. Holding the weight of two or three or four or five people's bad experiences on our shoulders gets heavy. And yeah, we signed up for this. And no, there's not a lot you can do to help. Just recognize it, appreciate it, and give us a massage gift certificate. That'll do.
- Mothers are ready to fix it.
Once a child is introduced into a person's life, the world becomes crazy large. Nothing is actually about the mom anymore. Sounds really gross and scary but it's actually beautiful. A primal switch is flipped, and the center of the universe is no longer the same. Relationships are redefined and love becomes a huge tangible thing, and not an abstract weird smokey ghost.
Part of our power comes from knowing that we have this magical reserve. For instance, I do know that even if I am tired (I am), even if I am grumpy (I am), even if I've not had a break from my kids in eight days (I haven't), I would be happy to have the chance to help anyone I love. And guess what? Mothers love a lot of people.
Ok, even I think I'm getting a little glittery here -- what with the love and magic and whatever. And it's not all sunshine and flower garlands. But the truth is I think my ability to actually love changed once I became a mom. It probably has something to do with that whole "I'm not the center of my world" thing. Getting out of the middle puts me in orbit with everyone else. It's easier to connect there. There are an infinite amount of ways to get into that orbit, probably. But for me it took the massive change of having a child.
- Moms can smell their children's fevers.
I'm not actually sure about this one. But I think it's true for me. There's probably a smart-guy science-y explanation for this but I can actually smell a change in my children before they get sick. Or right when they do. Pretty cool party trick, right? With Roan, I can actually feel it in his hands -- when I hold his hand it feels different, and then BLAMM-O! Two hours later a fever breaks onto the scene.
You don't have to believe me but it's true.

Chef Toby Gilbert speaks to patrons at the Blacksmith from behind the bar. The new Berlin restaurant has an ever-changing menu based on seasonal, local ingredients. / Staff photo by Charlene Sharpe
BERLIN — Whats on the menu at Berlins newest restaurant?
Whatevers fresh.
At The Blacksmith in Berlin, the dishes are built around whats available locally.
We see what we have, what we need to have and what we can get, chef Toby Gilbert said. Then we build the menu.
The Blacksmith, located at 104 Pitts St., opened last week in the building known as the carriage house for owners Justine Zegna and Drew Evans. Zegna, proprietor of Planet X Café in Rehoboth, says shes thrilled with the response the new restaurant has gotten in its first few days.
Theres a lot of love and support in Berlin, she said. I dont know if youd get that everywhere else.
The Blacksmith, according to Gilbert, is focused on serving seasonal, local pub cuisine in an Eastern Shore style. Although the modern menu includes items such as Banh Mi and kimchi, theyre done with a local flairEastern Shore Banh Mi, for example, is a sandwich of scrapple, pork shoulder and pickled vegetables on a local baguette.
Gilbert, who has worked in Puerto Rico, New York and most recently the Grove Market, says initial customer favorites on The Blacksmiths ever-changing menu have included the Bacon Bomb, meatloaf wrapped in bacon served with squash ketchup, and the Scotch Eggs, soft-boiled eggs wrapped in scrapple and sausage served with fermented beer mustard.
Like those, many of the dishes at The Blacksmith are served with condiments diners dont see every day. Gilbert is quick to point out a shelf outside the kitchen filled with jars of fermenting fruits and vegetables.
Were doing a lot of our own fermenting, he said, adding that the products of the process were used in a variety of fish and seafood dishes. I started and I got hooked. Its a good if you need to use something but cant do it immediately.
Hes even expanding into a vinegar program. Along with the basic apple cider vinegar hes working on Dr. Pepper and a Mountain Dew vinegars to use in cocktails.
We do our own Kombucha too, Gilbert said.
Zegna and Evans believe the unique menu at The Blacksmith will be a draw for customers.
Theres nothing like this in Berlin, Evans said.
He said the menu had also been designed so that while there were a handful of fine dining options, there were also more affordable plates.
We didnt want to push anyone away, he said.
Gilbert agreed and said the prices were comparable to those in some of Berlins other restaurants. He added that he wasnt worried about adding to the growing number of restaurants in town.
The more competition the better, he said. The good ones will make the others do better.
Evans agreed and said the town as a whole would benefit from the addition of another new business, particularly one that was working with other establishmentsincluding Burley Oak Brewery and Baked Dessert Cafe.
Its good for everybody, he said.

The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating an accident where a woman from Lake City was run over by a car late Friday night.
Troopers say a car was on County Road 250 approaching the intersection of Scenic Lake Drive at 10:42 p.m. when the driver -- 20-year-old April Moore, of Olusee -- saw a person laying in the road. Moore swerved to avoid hitting the woman, but the car struck 32-year-old Sarah Edenfield.
Edenfield was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to the FHP report, charges are pending.

Purity in its Veins: Zenyatta Targets Ultra High-Purity Graphite from a Very Unique Discovery
Given the frequency of its attention this year, it's fair to say that 2012 was the year of graphite. Much of its allure comes from the increasingly high-tech demand in applications such as Li-ion batteries, fuel cells, vanadium-redox batteries, pebble bed reactors and graphene, just to name a few. Traditional applications include electrodes, refractories, carbon brushes, brakes and lubricants among many other uses.
Today demands on graphite total a global market of over 2.5 million tonnes that is growing. But not all graphite is created equal, and there's more to the market than just the difference between flake and amorphous types.
Manufacturers are paying a premium for high purity graphite. Often this comes as synthetic graphite, which accounts for 1.5 million tonnes per year. Due to its far higher price, the value of the global market of synthetic graphite dwarfs natural graphite by a margin of $13 billion to $2 billion, respectively.
Synthetic graphite refers to graphite with a purity rating of over 99%, versus natural, which tends to fall generally between 70-94%.
For Zenyatta Ventures [ZEN:CA], the discovery of the company's rare Albany 'Vein Type' graphite deposit may offer as close to synthetic materials as nature can provide. A first test from a rough concentrate yielded an incredibly high purity of 97.2% graphite. Subsequent testing is on-going to optimize the process to achieve >99%.
This can make all the difference, as prices for synthetic graphite grades fetch $7,000-$20,000 per tonne, compared to natural graphite which gets $500-$2000 per tonne. Most graphite companies on the market right now, are chasing flake graphite, of which there is no global shortage, whereas the rarer high purity vein graphite has less competition and a bigger, much more lucrative market. Zenyatta is the only company in the World developing a vein type graphite deposit.
This unique form of natural graphite is by far the purest form that Mother Earth as made available, and incredibly rare. Less than 1% of the world's graphite output comes from this type of deposit, but the world definitely would love to see more. Of all forms of natural graphite, vein graphite is the easiest to process. This distinction rewards producers of the element with the best graphite price on the market.
The high purity levels come from its creation, starting as a hot fluid that seeps through fractures and fissures in the earth and burns off impurities. It's nature's very own graphite processing plant.
Vein graphite can be near the purity of synthetic, while not requiring the high-energy cost of creating synthetic graphite from petroleum coke at an oil refinery. Also, just as significant, the production of synthetic graphite from petroleum coke is very destructive to our environment in the burning off of contaminants. Zenyatta's intent is to take its vein graphite and upgrade it to 99.9% purity. Doing so would allow their deposit to compete against synthetic supplies. The Albany deposit appears to have the volume of graphite to make end users, who buy synthetic, to stand up and take notice.
If sold only as vein graphite (without an upgrade) the price is somewhere in the $2,000-$3,000 range. But if you upgrade your supply, you can significantly improve the economics. The highest grades receive between $7,000-$20,000 per tonne.
Now the question is, how expensive is it to upgrade the vein graphite to synthetic grades? That's a question that Zenyatta is presently working on. They're currently working on this process at SGS Lakefield, and they're now into their second round of tests. The hope is to improve upon the rough nature of the first round of tests that weren't optimized beforehand. This included floating the graphite, and doing a leach procedure in acid. The second test will feature an adjustment of only one variable (grind size), which adds negligible cost. It is quite common to carry out many tests before a separation process is optimized. The belief is that they will be steps closer to identifying all of the variables necessary to get it to >99%.
A close eye will be paid to the costs for upgrades in order to ensure feasibility of the project. A successful transformation to purity levels of synthetic-grade graphite at a low per-tonne cost will be a major milestone, for which Zenyatta would certainly be lauded.
What was initially an exploratory mission to find copper-nickel, landed Zenyatta one of the largest vein graphite systems in the world. Now the plan going ahead is to drill it out for a 43-101 graphite resource, and hopefully be into pre-feasibility by mid to late 2013.
With purity ratings much closer to synthetic than to other natural graphite, Zenyatta's deposit appears to host highly sought-after qualities. Vein-type graphite starts at such a high level of purity that they think they can achieve >99% at a very low cost. But to be fair, they're still very much embroiled in working through this process.
Though this process sounds complicated, it's easier than the current method of making synthetics. This type of graphite is made by taking petroleum coke from a sweet crude refinery, and cooked to 3000 degrees Celsius during several steps. This is expensive and energy dependent, to the tune of $3000-$5000 per tonne to produce. Much of the world's supply of synthetic graphite comes from the US and the Middle East, but is tied to sweet crude supply, which is diminishing.
Judging from what we see in Zenyatta's vein type graphite, it's doubtful that their process will even come close to the high costs to produce synthetic graphite, giving them a huge competitive advantage. If successful, this could be a form of a graphite loophole: Lower costs with higher returns. As well, it avoids the touchy subject of environmental impact, which synthetic graphite incurs a lot of.
It's not only big enough of a story that Zenyatta seems to have found a really high grade of rare graphite on Canadian soil; But when you factor in the further development of the upgrade process from vein graphite to synthetic's >99% purity, this story takes on a mystical quality.
Should the adjustment of its upgrading process be as simple as changing the grind size and other minor variables, then Zenyatta will be into another stage sooner than you think. The demands for graphite are steadily increasing, and cries for domestic supplies from outside China are also being amplified.
Zenyatta is merely a few percentage points away from successfully developing a new process for one of the rarest forms of graphite in the world. By chasing prices in the $7,000 - $20,000 per tonne range, this would put Zenyatta into the stratosphere, above and beyond its peers.

Notable was a play by safety Donte Whitner that displayed 49ers' pride, honor, dignity. With the Rams driving late in the second quarter, the 49ers leading by a delicate four points, Whitner intercepted a pass from Sam Bradford at the goal line and fell into the end zone and killed the drive, killed the Rams' chance and gave the ball to the 49ers.
And the Niners took the ball Whitner gave them and drove for a touchdown. It was a statement interception and a statement score.
Here is Whitner on the interception: "I was in the middle of the field and saw the front shoulder dip from Bradford. It meant he was going for a deep ball. I was thinking, 'This is going to be a tipped ball right to me (from Tramaine Brock).' It actually happened. I wanted to get my arms around it and squeeze it as tight as I can and come down in bounds. It was a huge momentum swing for our football team."
And the 49ers also played offense.
It was efficient, maybe even dominating, also something we didn't see the previous two games.
And something else we didn't see was Colin Kaepernick making plays, taking charge, being the best quarterback on the field, although late in the third quarter he didn't see Vernon Davis and ran the ball four yards, and general manager Trent Baalke leaped from his chair in the press box and shrieked, "Throw the ball!"
In spite of that, Kaepernick had returned after a short unhappy sabbatical of two weeks and was dynamic. After the game, Frank Gore buttonholed Kaepernick and told him, "You're young. You've still got a lot of growing up to do. You'll be one of the top quarterbacks in the league."
Throw praise at Frank Gore. I had written him off, written his epitaph — prematurely.
He had a career game in the sense of showing grit and carrying the team on his strong back. He ran for 153 yards — a big number.
One play at the very end of the first half told it all, Gore taking the handoff on fourth and 1, Gore bursting through the line of scrimmage, shifting immediately into overdrive, running away from the coverage, his knees high and proud, the Rams' defenders mere spectators.
