Mallard steps up
Kierra Mallard's up-and-down Big 12 Conference season ended on a positive note.
The senior forward scored 15 points to help Texas Tech beat Kansas State on Saturday.
Mallard, Tech's leading scorer and rebounder, entered the game shooting 28 percent in Big 12 games, but she was 7 of 15 from the floor Saturday and made a 3-pointer.
Mallard's effort has wavered during the season, but she played a hard 24 minutes off the bench before fouling out late.
Saturday's season finale between Texas Tech and Kansas State looked as if it might go the way so many have for the Lady Raiders this season.But three standout performances by Texas Tech players to go along with a little bit of luck preserved a 64-63 victory at Bramlage Coliseum, snapping a five-game skid and spoiling K-State's senior night.
"We needed things to fall our way and I think that happened tonight," Tech senior Jordan Barncastle said. "We were able to hit some shots and this is exactly what we needed going into a big week with the Big 12 tournament."
Texas Tech and Oklahoma have played two close games this season, but the outcome in both was a loss for the Lady Raiders.
The first game, Tech's first loss of the season, was decided by only three points. Tech had a seven-point lead with five minutes to go and didn't score another basket.
Their next meeting, played Wednesday at United Spirit Arena, was a 71-62 Oklahoma victory. Tech kept the game close most of the way, rarely trailing by more than two or three possessions until the Sooners separated themselves at the free-throw line late in the second half.
Defensive breakdowns
Texas Tech gave Oklahoma plenty of open looks, and the Sooners took advantage.
Oklahoma was 23 of 49 from the floor (47 percent) and was 4 of 12 from the 3-point line in the first half.
Guard Morgan Hook was left open from the perimeter throughout the game and took five 3-point shots in the first half before picking up her third foul.
Texas Tech gave an effort worthy of senior night, but the Lady Raiders could never pull ahead of Oklahoma in a 71-62 loss Wednesday at United Spirit Arena.
The loss is the fifth in a row for Tech, which fell to 17-12 overall and 5-12 in Big 12 Conference play. The five-game losing streak is Texas Tech's second of the season.
Texas Tech senior forward Kierra Mallard was suspended Friday for a violation of team rules and did not travel to College Station for Saturday's game against Texas A&M.
Tech coach Kristy Curry didn't say whether Mallard would return for a 7 p.m. tip today against Oklahoma, the Lady Raiders' senior night.
"Just taking it one day at a time," Curry said Monday. "That's all you can do."
Mallard is expected to be honored on the court before the game with fellow senior Jordan Barncastle.
Curry described Mallard's four years at Texas Tech as "up and down."
Jordan Barncastle already knows her final home game at Texas Tech will be an emotional one.
The four-year forward will be honored as part of a senior day presentation before Texas Tech's 7 p.m. tipoff today against Oklahoma at United Spirit Arena.
"It's just something really special," Barncastle said, "and my family will be here and that will be nice. And it will be pretty comical with some of the pictures, I'm sure. There's lots of emotions."
Few players throughout Tech coach Kristy Curry's career elicit the sort of reaction Barncastle does.
COLLEGE STATION — The Texas Tech women's basketball team dominated the all-time series against Big 12 Conference rival Texas A&M.
But the 14th-ranked Aggies had the last laugh Saturday, handing the Lady Raiders their worst loss of the season, 79-51, at Reed Arena.
A&M seniors Adaora Elonu and Tyra White led the way on senior night, collecting 14 and 13 points, respectively.

Nadal beats Almagro to win 8th Barcelona Open
Updated: April 28, 2013, 2:31 PM ETAssociated Press
BARCELONA, Spain -- All those months of hard work and rehab are starting to pay off for Rafael Nadal. Yet he is still not sure what this means for the French Open.
Nadal won the Barcelona Open for the eighth time Sunday, defeating Nicolas Almagro 6-4, 6-3 for his fourth title of the year.
And with French Open about a month down the road, this latest victory is a promising sign that Nadal is getting back to full strength from a knee injury that sidelined him since last summer

Now then, your images are BEAUTIFUL! Exactly what people need to be seeing! I am serious, that is just wonderful photography. I can see already one has responded to your post. Next time (and there WILL be a next time ) Just post a few, then trickle them out over the next few days. My hope is to keep that thread nailed to the top of the forum there. Already it is the 4th most active thread in the Alt. forum.
Your work with Portra is inspiring. For whatever reason I have NEVER liked my own photography when I tried Portra, but I just LOVE other people's work with it. Very bizarre.

Milwaukee Rep taps power, passion of 'Raisin in the Sun'
Lorraine Hansberry's "A Raisin in the Sun" is not only one of the greatest American plays ever written. It's also a play - read in school, seen on film and frequently performed - we all think we know better than we actually do.
The Milwaukee Repertory Theater drove these truths home Friday night, opening a galvanic production of "Raisin" that will go down as a landmark we'll be talking about for years - and that I assure you is like no "Raisin" you've ever seen. »Read Full Article

Climate change is real, and developed country should be doing our best to reduce carbon emissions as quickly as possible, because if anything, renewable energy is the way of the future, so if we wish to have a major stake in the future economy and benefit from it, we need to act now.
Having said that, I am also strongly against a legally binding agreement with numbers on it. Any agreement that limits our options is fundamentally bad because the future is always uncertain. We cannot guarantee that we can honor commitments to deep cuts, and it would be negligent for our politicians to run the risk of having to transfer hundreds of billions of dollars of our wealth overseas should we fail.
China is playing the game smart and having it both ways. On the one hand, it is privately acting aggressively to develop renewable energy because it knows this is the future. On the other hand, it flatly refuses any binding agreements, and its status of a developing country helps the world's largest emitter "have its cake and eat it too." The west would be extremely naive to bind ourselves to an international agreement that could have serious economic repercussions at home. We should follow the Chinese line as closely as we can. If there are to be any binding agreements, they should be so loose that we are certain not to transfer a dime of our national wealth.
I am not so sure that this summit is "necessary". Seems like a way to "control" countries by the U.N. I do, however, believe that each country needs to take responsibility in their "trash" and in their energy and what they are doing to our planet. I am always amazed at the fight against "wind turbines". We have many here, they make little noise, but produce lots of alternative energy! What a concept. If everyone would take responsibility for themselves, I mean old fashioned- white knuckled- "It's up to me" approach, we would have a better society - both economically and protecting the climate.
I totally disagree with any legally binding agreement and some other entity controlling and diviting out our finances. I think it lets the fox in the hen house, not to mention the lose of power to a degree.
It's pretty much just political posturing and 'hot air', if I may use the phrase. I will be curious to see the carbon footprint calculation; all the government and private aircraft flying to Kastrup. I'll be very surprised if anyone representing Europe takes the train to Copenhagen.
Luckily Americans are protected from our Government, at least as of today, by what remains of the Constitution. The Constitution requires that any foreign Treaty be ratified by 2/3's of the Senate. That is now not even a close call and Obama and his Czar's realize it.
We are not out of the woods as Obama will continue to chip away at this. He appointed Harold Koh as the legal advisor to the State Department. Koh is a leading proponent of transnationalism, which among other things stands for the proposition that a foreign Treaty can trump the Constitutional rights of American citizens.
Cap and trade is a scam and will be the most massive tax increase in our Nation's history. If we are further sold out in Copenhagen or a foreign Treaty on cap and trade it will send TRILLIONS of taxpayer dollars to Third World Countries.
Instead of sending trillions overseas spend it here in cleaning our environment, giving tax credits to companies to install scrubbers on smoke stacks, you know things that will benefit our environment and create jobs. What a novel concept for this Administration.
Gosh, you Americans are lucky: any foreign treaty requires 2/3 of the Senate endorse it. Wish we in Canada had a back stop like it!
Nothing that will impair national interests.
Except for the USA.

Could Lance Armstrong win such a defamation suit without committing perjury? The difference between defending yourself in a criminal case where you are guilty and bringing lawsuits based on lies is night and day.
fair point that
Could Lance Armstrong win such a defamation suit without committing perjury? The difference between defending yourself in a criminal case where you are guilty and bringing lawsuits based on lies is night and day.
Well, at least he finally had the ball to admit it.
The question of whether this is the right move to "clean his image" is irrelevant to those of us who never bought into the image in the first place. Our ability to detect bullshit is what needs serious repair. You can't go wrong invoking The Principle of the Path, which says that direction, not intention, determines destination. "I'm a good guy because I fight cancer" is the exception; his deceptive behavior has been the rule.
Looks like Mr. Armstrong is down to the last card of his deceptive deck.
...there are other cancer foundations to which you can donate? I say screw his foundation.
It's a bunch of guys riding bikes around France, who cares.
To me, cycling is no more appealing than Nascar, which is just a bunch of dudes driving around in circles.
Same. I can appreciate how hard it is but I just don't care to watch it--I see no entertainment value in it.
...it is an extremely tactical sport of which hardly any moment doesn't have significance. Watch a spring classic and you might change your mind. I mean, my wife thinks football is boring...
So you would be happy to watch dozens or hundreds of French people die.
That's not disturbing at all.........
No dog in this "fight" but honestly that's no worse than the countless threads that contain countless statements about people of certain state of our Union or the wishing of any number of catastrophes when two detestable teams play one another.
The difference is when someone asks if I'm going to root for ohio or MSU and I answer, "the meteor" I am being ironic. Because y response is unexpected.
Going out of your way to say you want French people to die is not comical, ironic, or nice.
I'm sure you're not trying to get a cheap laugh with a non-joke about a car killing innocent bystanders because you heard something on the TV about French people sucking that one time and you have the same level of intellectual creativity and overall sense of humor as a scrotum.
You probably know a lot of French people and that's why you have that opinion. I have faith.
Couldnt give a shit one way or the other
You knew this was going to happen. The circumstantial evidence was pretty damning. He just should have come clean years ago instead of trying to destroy everyone who dared ask legitimate questions.
As with many outed liars, it's the cover-up that turns out to be the more serious crime than the underlying act itself. Cycling is a weird sport to begin with, where it takes the support of a team to win, but the the champion is celebrated like as an individual feat. It's like Tom Brady saying he, and only he, is super bowl champion. Like most Americans, I don't care about cycling, or speed skating, or cricket, or a bunch of other sports Euro types get all worked up about. I couldn't care less if Lance cheated. What I do care about, is how he profited and behaved after the fact, like a total douchebag.
So you think that whole raising 500 million to fight cancer thing was a douche move? Was he perfect, no. But the guy has been far from a douche. After the USADA thing came out his first move was to protect the foundation, not himself. I think that people who share your opinion know very little about Armstrong.
Also, for those that take issue with people taking PEDs, you must have an impossible time watching pro or college football because it is pretty rampant there as well.
But if what's been posted above is true, that foundation really didn't donate much to actually fight cancer and actually was more about "raising awareness" and giving Armstrong good PR.
"Live Strong" can burn for all eternity now. Welcome to the boneyard.
Most of us know the difference between right and wrong by our 5th birthday. In a sport where the rules clearly state doping is illegal, he knowingly violated the rules. If it is wrong, it is wrong, period. As in other sports and aspects of life, we need to quit feeling sorry for cheaters simply because something good came out of their cheating. Lance Armstrong epitomizes all that is wrong in our society. Cheating should never be rewarded.
I mean, it's obvious that this apology is only driven by the fact that he got caught which makes this one of the least compelling and least believable apologies in the history of apologies. He's a loser
like most apologies. Oops I got caught, damage control. There's an old, old saying, "Be sure your sin will find you out".
*looks in mirror, cringes*
Barry Bonds............come on down! Roger Clemens. ...........come on down!
I know my ex Katie and her father was very proud to participate in his charity bike rides before they both died of cancer. Honestly I'm glad they don't know about it.
As an aside I wonder what possible good it would've done the federations to pursue him and others for so long. They basically have a 10-15 year blank page in their history books where nobody won anything. Since everybody cheated when he was racing I feel like he's the best cyclist among equals.
The good it does is to show that cheating doesn't pay off. There was a ton of testimony linking him to PEDs. He happened to be using ones for which there wasn't a reliable test at the time, which is how he "passed" the tests. He conveniently got out of Dodge when the drug-testing standards were stepped up.
No one deserves to have won the Tour those years. That was at the height of the sport's dirtiness and vacant records should serve as a cautionary tale to riders going forward.
You can't say he's "the best cyclist among equals" because blood doping affects people differently. People get varying levels of benefit.
...meet glass house.
And he denied it for years.
Tonight he finally admitted to lying, and that the French authorities' suspicions were right all along.
That must have been difficult, but it was a foregone conclusion, and a little late.
I don't think he deserves congratulations for finally giving in to honesty and integrity.
Some will remember only the cheating and the lies. Others will remember Armstrong's good deeds and courage to fight a death sentence.
To me the Tour de France joins Major League Baseball and the Olympics in terms of things I have learned to care a whole lot less about because its all jammed packed with cheaters and substance abuse deniers.
and why these athletes ended up using EPO, testosterone, blood doping, etc., I recommend Tyler Hamilton's recent book, The Secret Race: Inside the Hidden World of the Tour de France: Doping, Cover-ups, and Winning at All Costs
He goes into great detail as to why he did it, how he did it, and what happened (including almost dying from a transfusion reaction)- not to mention giving specific details of many of his fellow athletes including Lance. Probably one of the reasons the whole Armstrong charade came down.
I am a cyclist and an enthusiast, and am way past the "say it ain't so, Joe!" phase. The entire apple was rotten from the skin to the core.
Historically cycling has always been suspect. BEFORE there were synthetic steroids available (pre-World War II) it was openly known that the top cyclists would fortify themselves with alcohol, cocaine, pep pills and strychnine - which was believed to help "loosen" up the muscles. So is it really that shocking ("Gambling at Rick's?!, I"m shocked - Inspector Renault, Casablanca) that once steroids, blood doping, etc. became available that it wouldn't be used?
In strength and endurance sports, the advantages are obvious - but even in so-called "skill" sports, these agents allow quicker recovery and more intense training.
Most people don't benefit - so most of the high school kids shooting up or loading up, are just wasting their money, time and threatening their future health for nothing.
But for a few top percent, the small but significant improvement can be the difference between 10th place and 1st place, gold and never-was, scholarship and high-school flame out.
Because of the secrecy we don't even know how PEDs could be used medically. When the whole BALCO affair developed the real push should have been aimed not just at Barry Bonds and Victor Conte, but at their biochemists - that is why BALCO was based there - it wasn't because Bonds was in SF. It is because UCSF, Berkley (U of California) and Stanford are around the corner. It takes more than a passing knowledge of biochemistry to design drugs and know the testing protocols to create structures to evade these tests. Notice that no one was charged in that regard? Where were the labs? Who was doing their synthesis? Who was running the initial trials to figure out the dosing programs and how to evade the testing? Designer PEDs are not off the shelf products - it isn't a met-amphetamine cooking receipe that someone cooks up on a cooktop in a trailer. If the sports governing bodies are serious about PEDs, they have to start here and understand how they are being created and how they are circumventing the testing process.
Are you saying that these governing bodies go after whatever organization that is housing these "rogue chemists" or that maybe it's actually farmed out to profs at the local universities?
Yes, I think if the so called governing bodies really want to be serious about PEDs they need to investigate how they were synthesized, tested and distributed. Catching Victor Conte and Marion Jones is like catching the corner pusher and drug crack addict - they aren't the masterminds or the cartel lab people.
I don't mean there is some secret group of "rogue chemists" on campus - but I do mean that you need to be somewhere there are recent grads who work in the biochemical and pharmaceutical industry nearby. Just like if you need to workup a gizmo which which is digital and can be computer driven, then the Silicon Valley is the place to be or if you want to do a civil aviation startup perhaps Wichita, Kansas would be a better place than downtown Ann Arbor due to the number of aeronautical engineers, project managers and other people who have civil aviation experience.
Reverse engineer the question:
If one were to try to develop a PED which could evade detection how would you do it?
1. You'd need someone familiar with the field - who knew the existing literature or what there may be. They can help guide the research and avoid deadends. Steroid synthesis and an understanding of the new field where peptide hormones which can stimulate steroid receptors or have steroid like effects is a requirement (this is why some plastic by products have steroid effects even though they don't have the classic steroid structure)
2. You'd need someone who knew how PED screening is done - what assays are used, what type of tests - mass spect? chromatography?
3. You'd need to have someone who has done drug clinical trials - after you have the prototype test drugs, you have to run some test trials to figure out the optimal dosing schedule - to know how close you could administer it to a potential test and how fast it clears the system.
4. You'd need a group of biochemists - some to fabricate the drug, some to work on how to optimize the drug for delivery (oral would be best, nasal absorption, topical ointment and finally injection), others to help figure out to best mask it - adding or subtracting a non-critical sidegroup or perhaps the form - could it be crystallized or aerosolized? Practical experience is important.
5. Finally, you'd need someone to act as a general project manager - to find a building to act as a lab, create a dummy front to buy supplies and materials from the science supply shops, pay the electricity bills, and keep accounts to buy the major equipment to outfit the lab, some testing could be farmed out innocously to commercial testing labs without tipping your hand, but other things have to be done "in house" - this person doesn't have to be a scientist but has to have some practical experience in running major research science projects. This person reports to whomever is backing the effort financially.
6. This project will take years to perfect with no immediate payoff - unlike a met-amphetamine lab. The backers have to have deep pockets.
So where would you look to find people who might have these skills and be underemployed?
That last paragraph sounds like an amazing tv show pilot for AMC.
Breaking BALCO.
The whole Lance Armstrong situation is not black & white. EVERYONE in the sport, and I mean EVERYONE was cheating. Not just 5 or 10 guys. EVERYONE on the pro tour was doping. Some more than others, some better than others. Lance started doping because he realized that other guys on the tour were doping and that it was humanly impossible to compete witih them. So he had to choose to basically be a nobody, or to start doping too.
That's a shitty choice. The thing is, he became the best doper in cycling history. He took it to another level and basically decided that if he was going to dope, he was going to dope 110%. He was incredibly scientific and systematic with it. And that is why he became unbeatable.
I don't really blame him for deciding to start doping. If I was faced with basically losing my livelihood because everyone else in my job was cheating I might make the same choice. That doesn't mean he was right for lying and covering it up all these years once it became obvious what was going on, but I do understand why he chose to do it in the first place.
The onus really is on the professional sports to properly test the athletes and keep the drugs out of the game so that athletes aren't faced with choices like this. An athlete shouldn't be forced to dope just to stay competitive. But cycling, much like the MLB of the late 90's early 2000's turned a completely blind eye to performance-enhancing drugs. And as a result, if you weren't using, you were completely left behind.
I'm glad he is finally coming clean about it. I wish we could know what kind of racer he would have been without the drugs.
the most recent winner of an Alpe d'Huez stage in the TDF would have placed 40th during the doping era.
It was HUMANLY IMPOSSIBLE to ride with those guys unless you were also on drugs. You either had to take drugs too or quit the sport. It was a very sad situation, but I really don't blame the guys who said "screw it, I'm taking drugs too" because the alternative was to go sell insurance or something other than be a pro bike rider. (No offense to insurance salesmen!!)
Did his doping cause the cancer that he had?
the answer is no.
I could go on. This is a college football blog so I'll put my opinions on a more appropriate foum.
Don't undersestimate the news of the next few days though folks. This is a huge shakedown in one of the (if not the) most difficult, loved, respected, reverred and tarnished sports in the world.
How the heck can you possibly know that?
The oldest evidence (and always considered the most credible by those who didn't have their heads in the sand) of Lance's doping is from the testimony of his friend's wife, who was there when he talked to his cancer doc and admitted to doping. This was back when he had testicular cancer. So his doping most definitely COULD have contributed to his cancer. There is no possible way to know without more information.
The question from the OP was "do you feel as if this is the right direction for him to clean his image." I don't doubt that he cheated.
Marion Jones went to prision and LA should have to do the same.
Another problem that I have with this whole thing is that he might drop some names to reduce his ban time. So now your gonna apologize and then throw people under the bus? I think its up to thoughs cyclists if they want to come forward and issue an apology. Once again Lance is doing what others were doing to him earlier. Still trying to salvage everything he can at everyone elses expense. Lance's is so sincere isn't it. Your a POS Lance. I hope EVERYONE sues you so much that you wont be able to afford a Huffy when its over.
There is no one left to name-drop. Practically everyone else Lance rode with has already either been busted or has admitted to doping. And everyone Lance beat has been busted too. 2nd place, 3rd place, 4th place, 5th place, they ALL have been busted. It isn't like just a few guys were doing some drugs. EVERYONE WAS JUICING UP THE WAZOO.
...are Hein Verbruggen and Pat McQuaid, the present and former UCI presidents, that would be a big deal.
And yes, cycling was dirty. But dirtier than professional soccer or football that don't have any meaningful PED testing programs? I think that's willful ignorance.
I was referring to other cyclists. If he has info that the actual organizing bodies were complicit in covering up doping that would be a big deal.
I'm curious who the people were that trusted him in the first place. Cycling is the dirtiest sport in all of Dirtville, USA. The only thing MORE riddled with steroids and HGH are the strong-man competitions.
I think at some point it didn't really matter what he did on a bicycle. The work his foundation has done for cancer research trumps all of his lies in cycling. He cheated in a sport. He is a champion in fighting an ugly disease. We always talk about how sports take a back seat to real life issues. I'm not saying he is the perfect human being but I will give him a pass on this one.

Changing money
The Ukrainian currency is the hryvnia (abbreviation UAH), introduced in 1996 when the country achieved independence and therefore stopped using the rouble. It is highly unlikely that you will be able to obtain any from your bank or currency exchange before travelling to the country (although our friend Pete got hold of some through a Luxembourg bank) so one of the first things you will need to do on arrival in Kharkiv is change some money. We had been advised that sterling, US dollars or Euros were all accepted, but in practice we found that many banks, and all the currency exchange shops that we checked, only took dollars or Euros – and of course we had brought sterling! It was easier to change the latter in the centre of town – several banks on Sumskaya Street, for instance, advertised that service, as did the Credit Agricole in Freedom Square (Ploshchad' Svobody). We used this, but be warned, as we believe we were cheated. It happened like this ...
Chris handed the desk clerk £100 in £20 notes. Two of the latter were rejected as being too dirty – one of these was a little marked, but the other almost pristine. He gave her another one and two £10 notes in replacement. The £20 was again rejected, so he had only £80 to change. I meanwhile, unfortunately, was not watching but was chatting to our friend nearby. But when Chris received his currency he thought it was less than he'd expected, so asked me to look. I noticed that on the form that it stated £70 exchanged, which explained the lower amount, but the woman insisted that was correct, and pulled three £20s and a £10 out to prove it. Chris remains convinced that she had pocketed the extra £10, but of course we had no way of proving that and had to accept what we were given. On the plus side, the exchange rate was good (12.4 UAH to the pound) and prices so low there that it didn't make a significant dent in our holiday budget, but it left an unpleasant taste.
The next day another friend changed sterling at the bank in my photo, near Istorychnyi Muzei Metro station, and had no problems, so this might be a good one to use.
Next tip: money in hand, time to start exploring, using the Metro
Money stealer
I was in Kharkov in 2007, with 2 friends of mine, and we had a very bad experience with an agency, that seems to be good, but after, we had a very bad surprise.
We talked with a woman called Elena S. , that showed us all stuff of apartment she was going to rent us, so we decided to pay. They have not given us recipt, and after 3-4 days, Elena called us, asking more money because we was 3 in a luxury apartment for 2 people. She before said us that apartment was for 3 person, and we will not have be afraid because price is for aparment not for person inside.
It is not finished yet because inside that apartment there is almost nothing that works.
Beware of that woman, remember the name and ask ever for recipt first! No recipt, no money.

Rules of behave..
When in Kharkov you are probably untouchable and respected by Police but a right person to treath by their power. Try to keep away from police, they're really hungry of your money, and every things they say to treath are just ***s to make you feel fear. Give them money proportional to your infraction (do it if they take too much time even if you didn't made) and they let you go without remember who you were, what you did and how much you brake the laws.
Try to arrange yourself when something small happen (like small crash-accidents if you drive) by money without call police, they can ask you much more and take out the driving licence for nothing: The car insurance works just with police report, so if you made a damage of 50$ is much more better you give that.
Ukraine is a quiet country, no criminal and safe, but behave well and careful and be crazy only in safe places, or traps could come from everywhere outside if you don't speak well russian.

Bottom Line
At 16 megapixels, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1 features the highest resolution of any Micro Four Thirds camera. It has some nice features that should appeal to enthusiasts, but it doesn't do well at the higher ISO settings and is bundled with a lens that can't keep up with the camera.

Q. I have a 30-year-old maple tree, and over the past few years a rather large mushroom has been growing on the base of the trunk. Each year the mushroom is bigger. It even grew back after treating it with Roundup. Now there are two that look like elephant ears stacked one on the other. Are these dangerous? I have children. Is there anything I can do to eliminate these without harming the tree?
A. The growths on your maple tree are the fruiting bodies of a shelf fungus. These wood-rotting fungi feed on decaying wood inside trees. Roundup is a plant killer and will not kill fungi. Though some species of shelf fungi are edible, leave the harvesting to the experts. Encourage your children to look at but not eat these interesting structures.
Shelf fungi can shorten the life expectancy of your tree. Keep in mind this fungus is a secondary problem moving in after something damaged the tree and started the decay. The location and extent of the rot will determine the impact on the tree's health and longevity.
Consider hiring a certified arborist to examine the tree. They have equipment and the expertise to determine the extent of damage and whether the tree poses a threat and should be removed.
Q.I have a Center Glow ninebark bush that is going into its second year. It developed a powdery mildew on some of the leaves. It was originally located on the south side of the house next to a retaining wall. I have since moved it more into the open. Is this enough to control the problem?
A. I've seen quite a bit of powdery mildew on ninebark this spring. The weather conditions have been right for this disease to occur. A change of weather and the right growing conditions will reduce future problems.
Provide adequate air circulation by properly spacing and locating plants, as you did, to reduce the risk. Whenever possible, grow ninebarks and other powdery mildew-susceptible plants in full or morning sun.
A healthy plant can tolerate the damage. If you decide to treat, try one of the eco-friendly fungicides like Neem or the Cornell baking soda mix. Cornell University found baking soda helped suppress powdery mildew. Mix one tablespoon baking soda plus one teaspoon insecticidal soap or lightweight horticulture oil (these serve as a spreader sticker) in a gallon of water. Repeat applications of this or commercial fungicides are needed throughout the season to protect the uninfected foliage.
Q.I want to relocate my asparagus patch. The 2-year-old plants were planted in 2005. I have read that it's best to move them in early spring and then not to harvest the first year. Is this correct?
A. You will have the greatest success moving the asparagus in early spring. Spring transplanting is less stressful on the plants and easier on you. You should wait at least a year for the plants to become established before harvesting.
If necessary, you can move the plants at a less-than-ideal time. Your chance of success decreases, and your post-transplant care increases at other times.
If space and your budget allows, you may want to purchase new plants for the new bed. That way you can harvest the asparagus from the existing planting while the new plants become established. In a couple years when the new bed is ready to harvest, you could either eliminate the old bed or move the older plants into the new bed.

Colin, yes the lad could learn all the English he needs in 3 months. That was a secondary point however. I am talking about immediately being able to command the respect of team-mates. Team mates around him who would learn Very quickly that they will get butt_f*cked if they make mistakes. I am talking about a Souness, a Keane - that type of attitude. I couldn't care if you had read an Encyclopaedia Brittanica sized dossier on Dede, if you haven't seen him play, his name might as well be Doodoo!
What's funny as well is that you are advocating a player brought up in the Brazilian way of slow passing then all of a sudden BAM! They've got you -ie the type of footy Brendan has brought. Personally I want a no-nonsense take no prisoners type of players who can also play a bit and tear his team-mates to shreds if they balls up or not organise themselves the way he wants them to. Agger can bring the ball out from the back if that's required. We dont need another ball player, we need another Rommel there!
Who is going to be our commander at the back? I guarantee you it won't be this kid your talking about!

2015 Mercedes S65 AMG Pimped Up with Silvery Finish
The Mercedes S65 AMG (W222) is already eye-catching in its straight-from-the-factory form. However, coupled with an amazing finish, its appeal can be further elevated. That's what happened to the amazing S65 in the picture above. According to BenzTuning, the source of the awesome photos, the type of the paint used for the car was iridium silver metallic. That's quite a mouthful, but it all sums up to "stunning". A silver metallic finish in a Mercedes definitely brings its coolness. This is comparable to the chrome Mercedes S63 AMG of Alfredo Simon. That's minus the glare, of course. The source didn't mention any changes in the engine of the 2015 Mercedes S65 AMG. It still… Continue Reading »

Hey, we're all having fun, I presented a rather unlikely option myself, just saying some of the options have been a bit of a lark.

Smash Recap: Liza With a B-Day
Smash Recap: Liza With a B-Day
Nobody puts Liza in a corner! But apparently, NBC can (and will) put her — and her lively guest performance on Smash — in a Saturday-night primetime wasteland. Oh the indignity of it all!
Then again, so what if the Peacock net is using the weekends to burn off the polarizing little musical that could/(n't)? We're in the DVR era, for cryin' out loud, and if we've stuck with The Romantic Trials of Karen Cartwright (and Her Inconvenient Frenemy Ivy Lynn) for this long, we might as well ride it out to the end, right? Right? Right.
This week, Karen momentarily regrew her backbone, Ivy Lynn celebrated a birthday to remember (on multiple levels), and Julia and Eileen made tentative strides in their should-be-more-exciting personal lives. Also, Kyle spoke (about something/to someone other than Jimmy)!
KAREN COMES OUT OF THE CLOSET | Respecting Jimmy's desire to keep their affair a secret, Karen finds herself hooking up with the bad-boy composer/costar in the wardrobe closet, where his romantic gestures include covering her mouth and shushing her (so as not to get on Derek's radar) and responding to her comment "I've been thinking…" with a dismissive "You shouldn't do that." (What a peach he is!) Ana, however, exhibiting the kind of good sense a gal wants in a best friend, asks Karen a pertient question on one of their many coffee walks: "Don't you think this 'top secret' thing is a bit of a red flag?" Buoyed by the chat, Karen finally takes a stand and puts the kibosh on these closet encounters after Jimmy can't even articulate why he needs to keep a lid on their "romance."
Cut to Karen working late in the theater, and a drunken Derek admitting, "I care about you." No, care-care, Karen, you dimwit! Karen finally fesses up: She's seeing someone, and that someone is Jimmy. "I hope this doesn't make things weird between us," she says, but come on, of course it will. Sure enough, at their next rehearsal, Derek explodes over Karen and Jimmy's nonexistent performances. "This is the last time I use untrained actors!" (Good point.) Suddenly an argument erupts between Derek and Jimmy: Derek's all "I told you to keep away from Karen!" And Jimmy's all, "Duuude!" And then Karen finds her self-respect under a back-row seat in the auditorium and puts the guys in their places: It's not Derek's job to control her personal life or pee on the fire hyrdant outside her apartment. And it was supposed to be Jimmy's job to be honest and tell her he was keeping their affair hush-hush because he feared Derek's response. "I thought you were more of a man! I thought you both were!" she says, and finally, it looks like the scrappy Season 1 Karen has returned. Oh wait, she's gone again! Jimmy shows up at Karen's apartment at midnight asking for forgiveness and promising to take her on a real date. And just like that he's giving her his coat and taking her out for a bite to eat — no planning, no forethought, no reservations. To make matters worse, Karen finds that little baggie of drugs (from last week's last act) in his coat pocket and doesn't say a damn thing. Oh grrrrllll — you need to take six months off from dating and focus on nothing but your work, mmmkay? (Look, I'm just being the gay BFF this character so desperately needs.)

There's something quintessentially American about summer in the
Northeast. Maybe it's the salty fragrance wafting off the shores of the
Maine coast, the mountains of upstate New York, which beg to be
conquered, or the quaint towns of Vermont, which evoke memories of times
long past.
Besides the dip into nostalgia, there are practical reasons to visit
this part of the world during the summer months. For starters, there's
the climate: warm (and, sometimes blisteringly hot) during the day, but
cool and comfortable at night, especially in the mountains or by the
ocean. And there's a range of activities: sailing, hiking, biking,
fishing, music and art festivals and an endless variety of
fresh-from-the-farm food. You can find places to stay no matter what
your budget, from campgrounds to five-star inns. And best of all, most
places are accessible with a quick road trip from New York, Boston or
Philadelphia, or via a direct flight.
Vermont is renown for its cold offerings—skiing, cheese, Ben and
Jerry's—but few people realize it's also a great place in the warmer
months. There's hiking. And biking. And cooking. And spa-ing. The
Topnotch Resort* in Stowe, (topnotchresort.com, from $325), which is
undergoing a multi-million dollar refurbishment, has a
35,000-square-foot spa offering over 120 treatments and services. For
sport and leisure, the resort features a tennis center with four indoor
and six outdoor courts, fitness center, an indoor pool with a cascading
massage waterfall, a whirlpool/Jacuzzi and two outdoor pools with views
of Mount Mansfield. Pets are welcome in select guest rooms and suites.
For the golf set, try The Woodstock Inn and Resort (woodstockinn.com,
from $260), which has an 18-hole par-70 course designed by Robert Trent
Jones, Sr. Located in the heart of Woodstock, meander down to Main
Street, or take a quick 10-minute drive to Quechee, home of the famous
glass company Simon Pearce, which reopened last year after a
multi-million dollar complete renovation and rebuild. The Mill
restaurant at Simon Pearce is a must.
The Essex Resort and Spa, situated on 18 acres between the Green
Mountains and Lake Champlain, in Essex Junction, offers culinary
vacations— that is, a cooking school where they teach everything from
sushi-making to bread baking to classes for kids ages 10 to 16. Called
Camp Cook (vtculinaryresort.com/campcook, from $400 per child per week),
it begins June 17th and continues on for nine, five-day classes
throughout the summer. Kids can gather eggs in The Essex's very own
chicken coop, meet the resort's resident farmer, collect fresh
ingredients from the extensive vegetable and herb gardens and cook a
collection of mouthwatering recipes. After mastering the kitchen, kids
go home with a certificate, recipe booklet and chef's jacket so they can
continue their culinary journey. Classes are also available for adults.
While Lake Placid, New York, may be best associated with the 1980
Winter Olympic Games, in the summer, people use Lake Placid as a base
from which to climb the 46 Hike Peaks in the Adirondack Mountains. It's
also a great spot for outdoor activities—you can golf, cycle, run
marathons, fish and listen to professional chamber music by the lake.
Places to stay in town or nearby: Lake Placid Lodge
(lakeplacidlodge.com, from $450); the Mirror Lake Inn
(mirrorlakeinn.com, from $304) and the Whiteface Lodge
(thewhitefacelodge.com, from $332), whose rustic timber design
incorporates the use of traditional Adirondack wood and stone—including
local timber milled on site. Lake Placid is a two-hour drive from
Albany, New York, Burlington, Vermont and Montreal, and a
five-and-a-half-hour drive from Boston and New York City.
Kennebunk has dusted off some of its staid vacation image—although
many are attracted to that very character—with lots of new restaurants,
shops and hotels aimed at a younger set of vacationers. There are
cottages and bungalows at Hidden Pond (hiddenpondmaine.com, from $590);
new rooms at the beachfront Tides Beach Club from $265 in July and
August; The Grand Hotel from $179, recently opened in Kennebunk
overlooking the river and the Kennebunkport Inn from $159 and its
restaurant, One Dock.
The Lodge on the Cove (lodgeonthecove.com, from $219) is a new
family- oriented boutique hotel with a retro chic design sensibility,
which opens on June 15. Guests get complimentary breakfast daily, free
bike rentals and use of kayaks. There are also kid's yoga programs, live
acoustic guitar by the pool on Sundays, poolside ice cream socials
(with icy cocktails for adults) and frequent evening bonfires.
There is a reason both Presidents Clinton and Obama (not to mention
Walter Cronkite and Jackie Kennedy) vacationed in this neck of the woods
(er, ocean): they are two of the most beautiful islands in the world.
The people watching and shopping are both great, but the nature is
really the attraction. Best things to do are rent a bike and zip around
the islands or hire a boat captain to take you out. On the Vineyard, eat
lobster rolls in Menemsha, stroll the art galleries in West Tisbury or
Edgartown and golf at Minks Meadows Golf Club or Farm Neck Golf Club.
The 121-year-old Harbor View Hotel (harbor-view.com) in Edgartown is
an island institution. With its great views, the property is a favorite
among guests to the island for its elegant, yet unintimidating style.
Summer rates from $435 and guests with four-legged friends are welcome.
Lamberts Cove Inn (lambertscoveinn.com), originally a farmhouse, and
dates back to 1790. The main house has seven guest rooms and a 70-seat
restaurant and guests of the hotel have access to the private Lambert's
Cove beach. (Rooms from $250 mid-May to mid-October, including breakfast
in season.)
In 2001, Zita Cobb, who made millions in fiber optics, began
injecting money into her homeland, Fogo Island, a freckle of land that
lies off the northeast corner of Newfoundland, Canada. In Cobb's words:
"It's far away from far away." She started Shorefast, a charitable
initiative to kick-start the anemic economy of her hometown. Not only
has Shorefast underwritten new buildings and art openings around the
island, Cobb has also just opened the luxurious Fogo Island Inn (from
$700, including meals and a tour of the island; fogoislandinn.ca.) While
the Inn is the most luxurious place to stay, there are small bed and
breakfasts like Quintal House Heritage Guest Home (quintalhouse.ca), as
well as campgrounds. Things to do on Fogo include whale watching, bird
watching, hiking and the Brimstone Head Folk Festival, which takes place
from August 9 to 11. There are also plenty of monuments, historic
sites, galleries and museums and the World's End Theatre Company hosts
an annual festival in July and August.
Caveat: Traveling to Fogo requires time and patience. First, you fly
into St. John or Halifax, Nova Scotia, where you can take a connecting
flight to Gander. From Gander, it's a one-hour drive to Farewell, where
you board the Change Island and Fogo Island ferry for the 45-minute
trip. (Ferry service is available every four hours and costs $5.50 each
way. The Inn can arrange all travel within Newfoundland.)

Related: Coney Park installs Game System® with Coin Tech / Coin Tech is ready to make a strike at Bowl Expo 2010
In a recent conversation with the CEO of a Chilean FEC chain, Happyland, the word Loyalty was repeatedly mentioned and had a special meaning for the company. Despite of the global crisis, the incomes of this mayor FEC operator has not fallen down; and they are truly convinced that one of the main reasons of their success, is due to their customer loyalty strategy.
"Happy customers come back; loyal customers bring their friends with them". These words explain what Loyalty is about, and Coin Tech knows the true meaning of it. Game System's Loyalty Module has been improved in order to offer a wide variety of options to leave FEC guests more than happy. In the particular case of Happyland, they have implemented a VIP card that is given to guests when a certain amount of money has been spent at the FEC, and then they can enjoy the privileges of bonus, discounts, and prizes, among others.
In addition to this, Game System's Loyalty Module is also integrated with CRM programs, like Sugar CRM®, which allows operators to have their guests personalized in all the locations, so that the guest enjoys the benefits of being VIP in every location of the chain, providing them with the best customer service ever!
Coin Tech Debit Card System is definitely what every FEC operator needs.
Coin Tech is experiencing a significant surge in demand in the Middle East and Indian markets.
Last month, Coin Tech presented their latest products at the IAAPA show 2011, held at the Orange County Convention Center, in Orlando, Florida.
SONIX Family Entertainment Center, Melbourne, has installed Coin Tech's debit card system to manage their location that features 70 indoor games and a Laser Tag arena.
Once again, India Fun City expands, grows, and consolidates as one of the strongest operators in the region and one of the most important Coin Tech's customers.
Coin Tech, the worldwide debit card system supplier for FECs, based in Argentina, has debuted its latest software innovation: GS Suite Advisor.
