Use caution when laundering linens that have been exposed to oils. Oil products are potentially combustible when exposed to heat in the dryer. Consult dryer manufacturer's guidelines for drying linens that have been exposed to oils.
*Please Note: The odor experienced is attributed to one of the raw materials/ingredients used as a neutralizer during manufacturing process. Since these formulas are unscented, ie: no fragrances added, this smell often becomes the most prevalent scent in the product. The product has passed all quality inspection guidelines and requirements for safety and performance.
I am very happy with the blend oil. It is comfortable to use. Has never caused skin irritation on myself or my client. It is light enough not to bother the client but still smooth enough to used for deep tissue massage.
Perfect for Swedish, Deep Tissue, Hotstone, and Aromatherapy. Also love that it doesn't stain linens and it can be used on anyone.
So far this is my favorite cream to use. The fact that olive oil is mixed in keeps the creme from drying up or absorbing too quickly. I recommend this to everyone.
I have tried many different oils, but as soon as I tried this one I stuck with it. It gives a very nice glide and I love the texture. It really does leave the skin feeling great!
I love this oil and so do my clients! I have had a few people ask me what type of oil I use because they usually break out, but never have with mine. It also leaves the skin feeling wonderful!

Freya lingerie is cool, edgy and trendy with fabulous support - a sassy, fun, beautiful and youthful alternative bra collection for the full-busted woman. Freya lingerie is made by Wacoal Eveden, the same manufacturer that makes Fantasie, Fauve, Goddess, Elomi, and now Huit brands. Being experts in the fit of the fuller figure, Eveden learned that there was a definite need for pretty, sexy lingerie in the fuller cup sizes. Extensive testing and market research determined that though these women want support, they also want color and pretty fashionable trims. Freya is the leader in mastering sheer bras in the fuller cup sizes.
Freya lingerie comes in bra sizes that range from 28-40 in the band, with a C-K cup. Freya full-figure lingerie offers great support and shape for larger cups while retaining sexy, colorful designs and modern fashion. Freya lingerie is not only fashionable and sexy, it provides optimal support that the full-busted woman is looking for in her bra. Flirty patterns in bras, panties and camisoles make Freya an attractive brand for women who are tired of wearing the bland, boring full-figure bras of yesterday. Freya is gorgeous all the way to a J cup in some styles!
The Freya brand offers a comprehensive wardrobe of lingerie; something for every need whether it be plunging, basick everyday, sporty, nursing, sexy or shapewear. Their key focus is fashion with a mix of basic.
Freya offers younger styling, so the covering is less than Fantasie, and more fashion directional. The Freya designers focus on color themes, trends and make sure the merchandising flows from month to month with color merchandising. To that end, Freya's key bra shapes include plunge balcony bra (to H (D8)cup), half cup padded bra (to H (D8)cup), longline bra (to G (D6) cup and possibly GG (D7) cup in the future), K (D12) cup balcony bra, and Deco moulded (up to GG (D7) cup) bra. In swimwear, a new padded Halter bra up to a J (D10) cup, and a new lower front padded bandeau bikini top (2.5 cm lower at the center front than previous bandeaus) up to a G (D6) cup size.
We should also mention that the Freya brand has a great collection of panties. Frequently the larger cup size bras do not offer matching panties. Freya does. Freya panties are cute, sexy and detailed, making a terrific match with their bras for a beautiful sexy look, top to bottom. There are no granny panties in Freya collections. You'll find cute bikini briefs, frilly thongs and adorable boyshorts. And some of the panties make use of sheer mesh for an ultra sexy teasing look. Check out the Freya thongs.
Looking for a full-figure supportive sports bra? Freya sports bras are the answer. Not only are they fashionable, but Freya Active Bras have great support, many have underwires, and all look terrific without needing to be covered up. Several employ color-blocking to give your bra more of an active outerwear look. Now you can run and do other high-impact activities, knowing know that you are well supported. Just check out the HerRoom Bounce test video on each of the Freya High Impact sports bras.
In 2008, Freya launched an extremely successful swimwear line. Freya swimwear offers the full-busted woman styles that are anything but matronly. Colors range from vivid florals, to geometric patterns, to sleek solid colors, all with innovative details. And of course, they're in bra-sized tops that cater to the fuller cup size. High-tech fabrics like Lycra Xtra Life spandex give longer life to your Freya swimwear. If this swimwear comes in your size, you need to really check it out because the designs are some of the most innovative in the market. And again, the support of this swimwear is the same as a bra. So you'll look curvy and polished without feeling unsupported. Their Sensitive Life Soft fabric is quick drying and chlorine resistant to add life to your swimwear.

Zucchini Pizza Casserole
the kitchen of Julie Wolski
This is something I really enjoy making when I get the taste for it! Who knew zucchini could taste so good!
4 cups shredded zucchini-about 5 small zucchini
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
2 Tblsp. parmesan cheese
2 oz. (1/2 cup) cheese, mozzarella and cheddar
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1 lb. ground beef
2 oz. pepperoni, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cups spaghetti sauce
1 medium bell pepper, chopped
4 oz. (1 cup) shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese, or a mix of both
Shred zucchini and mix the zucchini with 2 eggs, parmesan cheese, 2 oz. of cheese and Italian seasoning.
Press zucchini mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 9 x 13 in. glass baking dish.
Bake the crust uncovered for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.
While the crust bakes, brown the ground beef in a large pan.
Add in the onion, pepperoni and spaghetti sauce and cook until onion is soft, about 5 - 7 minutes.
Remove the crust from the oven. Pour the meat and sauce over the crust.
Top with peppers, sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees or until the pizza is heated through and the cheese is melted and slightly browned. For easy serving, allow this dish to stand for 2 - 3 minutes before slicing and serving.
Terri's Notes:
~ Don't forget to sprinkle in your own favorite toppings, your favorite cheese, black olives, mushrooms, even an extra dash of parmesan.

|Colorado winter wheat production dropping rapidly
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
USDA announced in its August Crop Production report that the Colorado winter wheat crop is the smallest since 2006. Colorado winter wheat production for 2013 is estimated at 43.5 million bushels, down 59 percent from 73.8 million bushels produced last year and down 60 percent from the 10-year average crop of 72 million bushels.
The crop was affected by both continuing drought and late freezes this spring.
1.5 million acres of winter wheat were harvested with an average yield of 29 bushels per acre. This compares with 2.2 million acres harvested last year and the 10-year average of 2.1 million acres harvested.
That is the lowest amount of harvested acres for Colorado since 1965.

If you are exposed to high levels of asbestos dust over a long period of time, some of the airborne fibers can become lodged within your alveoli — the tiny sacs inside your lungs where oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide in your blood. The asbestos fibers irritate and scar lung tissue, causing the lungs to become stiff. This makes it difficult to breathe.
As asbestosis progresses, more and more lung tissue becomes scarred. Eventually, your lung tissue becomes so stiff that it can't contract and expand normally.
Smoking cigarettes appears to increase the retention of asbestos fibers in the lungs, and often results in a faster progression of the disease.

My favorite bottle cage for road/MTB use
Jim Blackburn started out in 1977 in Santa Cruz CA making aluminum bike racks and soon thereafter his classic bottle cages. They still have not been surpassed (though often copied). Blackburn is now part of the awesome Easton (bar, stem, wheel-rim)/Giro (helmet/glove) group.
PROS: 1. Bottles glide in smoothly!!! -yet the design grips really well. 2. This cage will not scrape and mar your bottles like carbon or plastic cages. 3. This cage is strong! Made from 5mm gauge stainless-steel.
CONS: none
Classic design, strong yet light, unbreakable, affordable.
Good cage
Bottle cages are all about the same to me light enough and strong enough for me good material construction. nice

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Brides Against Breast Cancer will host a charity gown sale at the Dupont Circle Hotel at 1500 New Hampshire Avenue on September 13th and 14th.
Friday afternoon, the organization's big pink truck will arrive at the hotel's loading dock with 1,000 gowns. At 6 p.m., brides will get the first look at the gowns at a soldout VIP event.
The next day, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. brides, friends and family will be able to go through the gowns. Most gown prices range from $99 to $799.
You can also help the organization by donating your newer gown for a tax deduction. You can also attend or volunteer at a gown show.
You can register to attend the Charity Gown Sale online at www.bridesabc.org.
Ashley Ritter brought some models with gorgeous dresses to the WUSA 9 studio on Friday morning. She told us, "We get wedding gowns donated from past brides, designers, boutiques. They're new and used."
One model wore a beautiful, A-line gown with sparkles on the top and a lovely bow. It was originally $190. The dress is selling this weekend for $100. Another model wore a beautiful drop-waist gown with some lace detailing. A third model wore a more vintage look with lace mimicking the royal wedding dress. It was originally $3,000, but will sell for $550.
The sizes at the event run the gamut so all prospective brides can come check them out.
This is an event that benefits all cancers. Brides Against Breast Cancer will be raising $2 million this year to fund free programs for cancer patients and their family members.

I'm unable to send emails although I can receive them. When I press send the email seems to just dissapear there is no email in the sent messages folder, no delivery failure message, no email received on the other end. Strangely though when I'm in the sent folder and I press the send/receive button the messages that I have attempted to send briefly cycle through the box below.
Has anyone else encountered this or have an idea what the problem may be?
Many thanks

Actually the simple picture of supplier and customer doesn't really describe the world most of us have to live in. If we go with the ITIL concept of a customer (someone who has financial influence or authority) then we also need to worry about what our users think. In other frameworks you might hear a more general concern about taking the whole range of stakeholders into consideration. Doesn't matter which recipe you follow – does matter that you see the complexity.
Some of the problems come from being so close to how things are done (rather than why they are being done), and by being so close to what you think matters that you don't spot what matters to those receiving the service. Sometime it is the silliest things that make the customers and users unhappy and reject a service. Maybe that is an example of the 'One Bad Apple' syndrome – something firmly embedded in the human condition seems to be our ability to allow one bad aspect to overbalance a dozen good things.
I had my own version this week, when I found myself refusing to continue with an online application for a new bank account because the software insisted on spelling my name incorrectly. (For reasons I cannot fathom, it seems to have decided that any name starting with 'Mac' must have a capital afterwards – so it turns 'Macfarlane' to 'MacFarlane' without giving me the chance to turn it back.) I didn't stay around to see what else the service offered, I just closed the web page and got my new account somewhere else that will let me spell my name properly.
But there is also the positive face of the same coin – the power of 'cool'. Imagine you have found the perfect shoes for your child – scientifically designed to protect their feet while supporting their bones and they are even waterproof. As a caring parent these are the only pair of shoes you want your child to be running about in (see IKB later in this blog). As it happens your dreams have come true because your child loves them. Is it because they are good for them, and will help their feet develop properly – no, they agree to wear them because the heels light up with each step. They will wear them – and save their feet – but only because they are 'cool' – according to rules you will never understand. By the way, don't think the illogical 'cool' factor only applies to children, it is there in just about every service you deliver or use – at work or at home. If you look for it then you will see it. I don't want to make this posting too long or I could list dozens – but just imagine trying to sell powerful and effective software products against others with less relevant features at higher cost – but with a fancy graphical interface – sound familiar to anyone?
If you think about these two situations – where apparently less important elements disproportionately affect decisions - I am sure you will find many examples of the two extremes; like the fast-food restaurant that you still avoid because of one bad burger or one element of bad service, hundreds of miles away and several years back.
Those issues tend to come from how the service is delivered, yet the same problem can easily come from how it is built (like my name issue). But one of the differences is getting the message back to where it might make a difference, because at best the complaints go to the operations side of the house, and this does not get fed back, maybe because it is dismissed as trivial – because it doesn't seem important to whoever received the message.
It isn't just about hiding complaints though, we also have the ability not to pass the cool factors back. Do we always find out why people really like something? It seems to me that we don't often ask the right people the right questions. And it also seems there are simple reasons why we do that:
- We presume that what is important to us is what is important to our customers, users or others that matter. Is this a common manifestation of IKB (the 'I know better' syndrome)? Most of suffer this from our parents, then grow up and do it other people.
- We don't know who to ask – and we don't know what to ask them.
Both of these situations are understandable – after all, we are human so of course we see things first and best from our own perspective, and without being forced out into another's environment then why should we have the ability to understand people we have never met? The second is also inevitable in the complicated amalgams of customers, users, services and suppliers we exist within. Never mind the neat little service chain pictures you get in the books – it doesn't really look that simple, it looks complicated, and mostly because it is complicated.
We can do something about these difficulties – but they require addressing the way we – and our colleagues – think, and that takes time and effort.
There are other causes and factors – and maybe there is one we could do something about, and it is something that would magnify the beneficial effects when you finally get around to addressing the two points I listed above: when we do find things out we don't tell the people who could do something about it. And the very best way to get that wrong is to build silos within your supplier organisation and stop people sharing ideas and information.
After that last blog on devops, I was thinking about that particular kind of communication issue. There is something deep rooted in the human psyche that needs to dismantle their immediate environment into teams[1] (or groups, or departments or silos or tribes – call them what you will). IT organisations are perfect examples – with high level internal teams always emerging once they gets past a certain size[2]. And if you separate into teams that feel the need to compete, then helpful messages will not be fed across between them. So what was built wrong and delivers the wrong thing stays there and will be wrong in the next version too. That is the inertial element of behaviour that initiatives like devops and whole service lifecycle approaches have to contend with. We shouldn't think it can be as easy as just telling people to collaborate and communicate. Like all challenges we need to recognise what we are fighting – and to fight back.
So – what are good ways to start? Perhaps as simply as recognising that while we might bond comfortably into (say) a 'development' team or an 'operations' team (or any one of a dozen more) – that doesn't make the other team the opposition – I think that would be a good first step, if we can finally realise that – by and large – what benefits one team also benefits the other.

Ramonet Sends Sharma's Tierra Negra (5.14d/.15a) Second Try
Spanish ace Ramon Julian Puigblanque has claimed the third ascent of Chris Sharma's Tierra Negra (5.14d/.15a) in Margelef, Spain. Perhaps even more impressive is the fact that Puigblanque clipped the chains on just his second try. Ramonet (Julian's nickname) described the route on his blog as "hard and intense" with long cross-through moves between mono-pockets. After his initial attempt on the route, Ramonet reports that he rested and then roped up for another try. "I climbed as fast as possible and made the most of the few rests," he wrote. Eventually, Ramonet found himself at the top of the 164-foot pitch, having sent Tierra Negra in two tries.
Ramonet is perhaps best known for his competition climbing, having won two lead climbing world championships and two European championships. However, the Spaniard often transfers his intense competition training to the rock, where he has onsighted 5.14c and climbed multiple 5.15as, including the first ascent of the classic La Rambla in Siurana, Spain. At just 5-foot 2-inches tall, Ramonet compensates for his lack of reach with an abundance of technique, endurance and power.

Relief in South Africa as Mandela leaves hospital
JOHANNESBURG The building that houses South Africa's highest court, made partly with bricks from an apartheid-era prison, symbolizes what Nelson Mandela hoped his country would become, a haven of tolerance wiser for the nation's past anguish.
Its mosaics, slanting columns, and natural light are meant to welcome people to the Constitutional Court, guardian of a charter devoted to human rights and clean governance. Nearby, a former jail complex where Nelson Mandela was held echoes a time when whites often resorted to violence to impose their rule over the black majority.
It is a neat fusion of history and aspiration. In reality the country once dubbed the "Rainbow Nation" is drifting between poles, cursed by crime and poverty, blessed with talent and resources, a trail-blazer of reconciliation that elected Mandela as its first black president in 1994 elections but still can't find harmony.
The anti-apartheid leader and Nobel laureate returned to his Johannesburg home on Sunday after spending a night in a hospital for what presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj said was a "successful" medical exam. Maharaj said Mandela was "well."
The 94-year-old, however, has grown increasingly frail over the years. In December, he spent three weeks in a hospital, where he was treated for a lung infection and had a procedure to remove gallstones.
The revered leader's brief hospitalization comes at a time when South Africa is struggling to live up to the promise that Mandela has come to symbolize.
"Although he's old, he's a real father to South Africa," said Thembeni Sebego, a resident of the Soweto township in Johannesburg. "We need him very, very, very much. But what can we do? If God calls him, it's time, because he's old now, he's old."
Though he withdrew from public life years ago, Mandela is seen by many compatriots as a hero, a symbol of hope, even a psychological refuge from the social ills and uneven leadership that prevail in South Africa.
The country of 50 million people has much warmth of character. But violence brews in its soul, partly fueled by one of the world's widest gulfs between rich and poor. All walks of life know what it is to be uneasy and alert to surroundings, even if the rates of some violent crimes have fallen.
"You can't walk around at night, there is the fear of rape everywhere," said Mashudu Mfomande, campaign coordinator for Amnesty International in South Africa. "Even in your own home, you don't think you are safe because we have cases of people coming into other people's houses, and have raped t hem. So as a woman in South Africa, it is not a good environment to be in."
A series of shocking events has intensified handwringing over the direction of society.
On Aug. 16, the shooting deaths of 34 striking miners by police at the Marikana platinum mine was a flashback for some who recalled state killings under apartheid. An official inquiry is underway.
On Feb. 2, a 17-year-old was gang-raped and mutilated before she died. On Feb. 14, Oscar Pistorius, the double-amputee athlete who was an inspirational figure around the world, was arrested on charges that he murdered his girlfriend in Pretoria. On Feb. 26, a Mozambican taxi driver was dragged from a South African police vehicle and later died in a police cell.
Last week, President Jacob Zuma sought to counter the image of South Africa as a place in turmoil, saying police were making inroads.
"We also dare not portray our beautiful country as an inherently violent place to live in," he said. "South Africa is a stable, peaceful country. Like all countries, there are elements that conduct themselves in a shocking and unacceptable manner."

The unrest of the Arab Spring has demonstrated that social media can disrupt an authoritarian regime—and businesses are no exception. Social media experts acknowledge that these tools can unleash forces that are difficult to control. Giving everyone a voice can challenge the worldview of people who are used to calling the shots.
"People who have grown up in a hierarchical business model may have some fear of the contact sport element of it," says Kathryn Yates, director of communications consulting at Towers Watson & Co. "Successful leadership realizes that that feedback is going on anyway, and you're better off being part of the conversation."
Here are some guidelines to your new social media future.
Be athentic. Social media have made it glaringly apparent to employees when they are being lied to or when information is being withheld. In order for leaders to be trusted, they have to actually mean what they say.
"With it [social media] comes an enormous responsibility to guard and nurture your company's culture," says Alicia Laszewski, marketing vice president for C3, a firm that manages companies' customer communications. C3 uses its Facebook page as an employee forum that can also be viewed by customers and potential employees.
"If your campaign is about people loving the work environment, you'd better create a company where people really love to come to work. If not, it's just a marketing campaign."
Start at the top. Workers watch their managers closely to see how committed they are to an open conversation. That means that managers need to be active on social media and set the tone. "You have to demonstrably give permission," says James Gardner, chief strategy officer at Spigit, a social media vendor. "You have to have senior leaders who communicate that it's OK to use social media and that if you do, you won't get fired."
Stay above the fray. Online, it is easy for a productive conversation to gallop off on a tangent or turn nasty and personal. While leaders feel the need to intervene, it's remarkable what can happen if they don't.
"If you stand back and let the conversation run its course, the employees will start to manage the conversation themselves," Yates says. The crowd often reinforces the corporate culture, marginalizes the catcalls, and seeks the best solution to a problem.
Adopt clear guidelines. Most companies with successful social intranets also have clear, published guidelines about what sort of comments and behavior are allowed. Most don't allow employees to post comments anonymously.
Respond quickly. In the old days, when a company found itself in crisis, managers knew they had a few days to formulate a response to employees. But in the world of social media, a few days can feel like a century.
Leaders need to accustom themselves to responding immediately or risk seeming deceitful or as if they're stonewalling.
"It's not that we ever had control," Yates says. "Maybe we just thought we did."

Wise beyond her years, Tyler initially looked to comedy as a means to relieve her boredom from her mundane high school studies while cutting classes to attend improv sessions at the J.

With a growing passion for comedy, Tyler was still ambitious about her studies as she went on to attend Dartmouth College where she graduated with a degree in Political Science and a minor in Environmental Science. Landing a prestigious job as an advertising exec after college seemed like a great fit for the fresh Ivy League grad, but Tyler had different plans for herself.

Obstructive sleep apnea is considered a serious medical condition. Complications may include:
Cardiovascular problems. Sudden drops in blood oxygen levels that occur during obstructive sleep apnea increase blood pressure and strain the cardiovascular system.
Many people with obstructive sleep apnea develop high blood pressure (hypertension), which can increase the risk of heart disease.
The more severe the obstructive sleep apnea, the greater the risk of coronary artery disease, heart attack, heart failure and stroke. In a study, men with obstructive sleep apnea appeared to be at risk of heart failure, but women with obstructive sleep apnea didn't appear to have a higher risk of heart failure.
People with obstructive sleep apnea are much more likely to develop abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias).
If there's underlying heart disease, these repeated multiple episodes of low blood oxygen (hypoxia or hypoxemia) could lead to sudden death from a cardiac event.
Daytime fatigue. The repeated awakenings associated with obstructive sleep apnea make normal, restorative sleep impossible. People with obstructive sleep apnea often experience severe daytime drowsiness, fatigue and irritability. They may have difficulty concentrating and find themselves falling asleep at work, while watching TV or even when driving.
Children and young people with obstructive sleep apnea may do poorly in school and commonly have attention or behavior problems.
Treatment of obstructive sleep apnea can improve these symptoms, restoring alertness and improving quality of life.
Complications with medications and surgery. Obstructive sleep apnea also is a concern with certain medications and general anesthesia. These medications, such as sedatives, narcotic analgesics and general anesthesia, relax your upper airway and may worsen your obstructive sleep apnea.
If you have obstructive sleep apnea, you may experience worse breathing problems after major surgery, especially after being sedated and lying on your back.
People with obstructive sleep apnea may be more prone to complications after surgery.
Before you have surgery, tell your doctor if you have obstructive sleep apnea or symptoms related to obstructive sleep apnea. If you have obstructive sleep apnea symptoms, your doctor may test you for obstructive sleep apnea prior to surgery.
People with obstructive sleep apnea may also complain of memory problems, morning headaches, mood swings or feelings of depression, and a need to urinate frequently at night (nocturia).

Welcome back A few comments to try being constructive: The whole thing seems too pale imho, you want maybe add more contrasts that we can easily see each features of the map. If it's full resolution, some isssues woth labels cause we can't really see the streets names. The waterlines don't fit the other elements (and to be very honest, it's quite bad - maybe just try to do something on it). I don't really see the steampunk touch for now but maybe this will come later?
btw overall the map is clean and well done

Coaches Consider Calling in the Mariachi Band…Again
Fantasy Camp coach and former Royals catcher John Wathan has decided that it doesn't really matter if eight of the 12 players on your team are returning campers. Nor does it matter if the team is led by three former Major League Baseball players, including a Hall of Famer.
In the end, to win ball games – even at a Fantasy Camp – it's simply a matter of you either have it or you don't.
"For our team, it's definitely a lack of talent we are dealing with," laughed Wathan on day four of camp. "We've got one more game Friday morning, so I guess we'll just cross our fingers and see how that turns out."
Sharing coaching duties with George Brett and Bill Pecota, Wathan is helping lead a team that is very similar, but not exactly like the one he coached last year – the one that didn't win a single game. Through the first four days, they have won just one game…barely.
"One night last year, George, Bill and I went to the Rio Mirage Café here in Surprise (Ariz.) for a Mexican dinner," Wathan said. "They had a very entertaining Mariachi band that we decided to bring with us to the field the next day for some entertainment since our team wasn't very 'entertaining' to watch. Well, I hate to admit it, but we might need a repeat performance from the band this year."
Heading into the final stretch, this year's Fantasy Camp has elements that are quickly making it stand out from years past. First, there were the changes in the Kangaroo Court hearings with the addition of a new "judge" (see Wednesday's entry). Then, the Royals Fantasy Camp welcomed some outside competition, scheduling each of the Royals six teams to play against a team from the Texas Rangers Fantasy Camp. According to Wathan, that's when the extra scoop of "ugly" play – not to mention a 21-1 whooping – was handed down.
"(The Rangers) team is a bunch of ringers," Wathan said. "Texas has fantasy camps all over the place and here, against us, they are definitely fielding an all-star team."
But, even a field of Texas "ringers" and a 20-run loss couldn't keep the former big leaguer from still enjoying his role at camp. Joining the other 17 alumni, Wathan took the field Thursday to do some entertaining of his own, playing in a series of campers-vs.-alumni games – three teams playing three innings each. Although, Wathan admits the Alumni Games always leave him a little sorer each year, he wouldn't trade suiting up with his old playing buddies again for anything.
"I really don't know who has more fun at these camps," Wathan added. "Sometimes, like today, I feel like it just might be us alumni."

New Haven, CT (Sports Network) - Austin Morgan scored nine of his 16 points in
the extra session to push the Yale Bulldogs to a thrilling, 76-64, overtime
victory over the Brown Bears in an Ivy League bout at the John J. Lee
Justin Sears scored a game-high 18 points off the bench for Yale (7-12, 1-1
Ivy) to help it to its first conference win of the season.
Matt Sullivan and Cedric Kuakumensah netted 13 points apiece for Brown (7-9,
1-1), while Tucker Halpern and Rafael Maia both finished with 10 points each.
Sullivan also pulled down seven rebounds and swiped four steals, but it was
enough to keep the Bears perfect in Ivy League action.
Brown was not in rhythm early on and shot just 29.2 percent from the field
while committing 10 turnovers in the opening 20 minutes. The Bulldogs shot 40
percent from the floor to take a 31-21 lead into the intermission.
Sullivan scored 11 points in the second half as the Bears heated up to knock
down 48 percent of their field goal tries including 5-of-9 from 3-point range.
Yale watched its advantage on the scoreboard slowly diminish while it
converted only 35.7 percent of its field goals after the break.
With just under a minute remaining in regulation, Halpern was sent to the free
throw line with Brown trailing the Bears, 58-56. He came up clutch and
converted both his attempts at the charity stripe to even the score. Neither
side managed to produce any more points before the buzzer, creating a need for
an extra session.
Morgan connected on a 3-pointer to tally the first points of the overtime
period and Yale never surrendered the lead the rest of the way.
These schools squared off last Saturday at Brown in a contest the Bears won,
65-51, in regulation.

3. Put the marinade and chicken pieces in a resealable plastic bag, close, and squeeze until coated evenly. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for at least 4 hours and up to 12 hours, turning occasionally.
4. Preheat the oven to 300° F. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge in the flour.
5. Pour the oil into a skillet to a depth of 1/2 inch. Heat over medium heat until it registers 350° F on a deep-frying thermometer.
6. Add the legs and thighs to the hot oil, in batches as needed. Pan-fry until golden brown on the first side, 6-7 minutes, then turn and fry on the second side until golden, 7-8 minutes more. Place on a rack in a baking pan and put in the oven. Use a slotted spoon to remove browned bits from the oil and let the oil return to 350° F.
7. Continue frying the breast pieces in the same way, then add to the pan in the oven.
8. Bake until the chicken is opaque throughout and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest parts registers 180° F for thigh and leg portions, about 25 minutes, and 170° F for breast portions, about 10 minutes.
8. Then make the gravy. Use the slotted spoon to remove any browned bits from the oil in the pan and pour off all but 2-3 teaspoons. Add the 2 teaspoons flour and cook, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, to make a blond roux, two minutes. Add the milk to the roux, stirring well to remove all lumps. Cook over low heat, stirring and skimming as necessary, until thickened to a saucelike consistency, 5-10 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Strain the gravy and serve with the chicken.

I have been making mead for awhile now, and I just came across Mead Jelly in the market. The jelly was excellent on hard cheese, and I'm wondering if anyone has made it and would like to share their recipe...
i just googled "mead jelly recipe"... looks like you can just follow a normal jelly recipe (sugar, water, pectin), but replace some of the water with mead. I imagine you could use pyment in a grape jelly to amp up the "grapeness" or a berry melomel in a berry jelly, etc. (Cyser in apple butter?)
I've never tried it.
actually, you may have to adjust the pectin slightly. I don't know how the alcohol in the mead with react with it (since it's generally 10-20% of the volume of a mead).
mead jelly with roasted pears (hmm... that's british jelly, which is gelatin, and not a fruit spread... I just realized that I don't know which you're actually looking for)

Hank Silverberg, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – For many people, 2012 has been a tough year. A stagnant economy and an unemployment rate that hasn't gone down much has made it hard for some people to find something to eat.
"We've been stretched to the limit," says Grant Thompson, interim CEO at the Capital Area Food Bank which serves 720 different agencies supplying food in D.C., Maryland and Northern Virginia.
They have been able to meet the need around the holidays when demand is highest because many kids, on winter break, are not getting lunch at school, Thompson says. And he adds, it could get worse in January.
"During the heart of the winter is the time that we need food donations, we need money donations and we need worker donations," Thompson says.
The Capital Area Food Bank has many people seeking help with food who have never done so before, some of them working two part jobs which still won't make ends meet.
In some cases, Thompson says, grandmas are going without their medication or food for themselves, just to feed their grandchildren, he says.
The food bank has a new facility on Puerto Rico Avenue in D.C. and another one in Lorton. Thompson says they are hoping donations of food, money and volunteers, pick up in January.
You can find out how to donate here/ or by calling 202-644-9800.

New advancements in formliner designs are helping concrete producers meet a growing demand for attractive concrete solutions. Today's formliners add the benefits of creativity and flexibility to the time- and cost-savings of precast walls. Custom and artistic designs are becoming more popular, adding to the wide array of stock patterns already available. Formliners are made with more flexible materials, such as liquid rubbers, that reduce breakage when concrete panels are removed from molds. And now, producers can cast with formliners both horizontally and vertically.
RECKLI elastic formliners are flexible enough to create intricate designs for precast and tilt-up applications without breaking during removal. Use them with standard self-compacting and fiber-reinforced concrete. Many patterns are guaranteed to 100 pours. More than 250 patterns are in stock, and forms can also be custom-made. Photo engraving is also available to transfer design images directly to the formliner. Nawkaw is the exclusive U.S. distributor. Nawkaw Corp. 800-905-2692. www.nawkaw.com.
Stone-Crete is a cast-in-place structural wall system that duplicates the look of natural stone walls.

It is available in 10 standard deep relief patterns and unlimited colors. Increte Systems Inc. 800-752-4626. www.increte.com.
The polyurethane Country Ledge form-liner is flexible, reusable, and can be cut in the field and attached to standard dimensional foam or wood concrete forms. This formliner is available in 2x7- and 3x7-ft. sheets that can be interlocked, using four different filler stones to create a visually seamless transition. The two sizes of liners can be used together. Additional formliner components can add patterns and textures to inside and outside corners, and the end or terminus of a wall. The Country Ledge Form Liner works for walls of any length and height. Butterfield Color. 800-282-3388. www.butterfieldcolor.com.
Reusable formliners in multiple shapes
Additional architectural shapes and profiles have been added to the standard line of reusable and flexible Pacific Formliner.

Birth Place: Soviet Union
Timur Nuruakhitovich Bekmambetov was born on June 25, 1961 in the transcontinental city of Atyrau (formerly Guryev), Kazakhstan. The son of an energy company manager and a journalist, he left home to attend college in Moscow at the age of 17, until his lifelong interest in theater and film - he made his first horror movie at the age of 10 on an 8mm home camera - led to his dropping out soon thereafter. Bekmambetov studied at Kazakhstan's prestigious A.N. Ostrovsky Theatrical and Artistic Institute, where he earned a degree in theater and cinema design in 1987. After a year of compulsory service in the Russian military, he began to pursue his creative interests in earnest, first working as a ... Continue Bio >>

GREENVILLE, N.C. --- One legendary coach and four outstanding former student-athletes representing four sports have been elected for induction into the East Carolina University Athletics Hall Of Fame. The Class of 2012 includes Amanda Duffy (soccer), David Garrard (football), Steve Logan (football), Michelle Ward (softball) and John Williamson (baseball).
Duffy, Ward and Williamson will be inducted at a banquet on Friday, Nov. 2 and then introduced to the public during halftime of the ECU-Houston football game on Saturday, Nov. 3. Due to the National Football League (NFL) game between the Miami Dolphins, quarterbacked by Garrard, and Indianapolis Colt that same weekend, Garrard will be unable to attend the ceremonies. Logan will also be unable to attend due to contractual obligations with Capitol Broadcasting Company. Garrard and Logan will be enshrined at a later date.
A four-year letterman and former assistant coach, Duffy is the first women's soccer player to be elected to the ECU Athletics Hall of Fame. She etched her name all over the record books, graduating as the school's all-time leader in points (83) and goals scored (33) and finished second in assists (17). She was a two-time first-team All-Conference USA selection, leading the league in goals (14), points (32) and shots (63) in 2001. The following season she was ranked among the league leaders in nine different categories, including fourth in goals (11) and shots (67) as well as fifth in points (28). She was named to the National Soccer Coaches Association (NSCA) All-South Region second-team in 2001 and '02 as well as the Soccer Buzz Southeast Region third-team.
A three-time All-Conference USA selection, Garrard led ECU to 29 victories and three bowl game appearances from 1998 to 2001, and in the process, established 28 school passing and total offense records. A four-year letterman, Garrard holds the school records for passing yards (9,029) and total offense (10,238). Upon graduation, Garrard held four of the top-10 passing performance seasons in Pirate lore, along with the career record for completions (666). As a sophomore he led the Pirates to a 9-3 record in 2001, which included a come-from-behind victory over No. 13 Miami (Fla.) at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh. The following season he directed the Pirates to an 8-4 record highlighted by a galleryfurniture.com Bowl win over Texas Tech.
Logan roamed the ECU sidelines as its head football coach for 11 years (1992-2002) and won more games (65) than any of his predecessors or successors. He guided the Pirates to five bowl games and six winning seasons, including four seasons with at least eight wins. His 1995 team posted a 9-3 record and finished the year ranked No. 23, the last time the Pirates were in a final top-25 poll, capped by a win over Stanford in the Liberty Bowl. Logan is widely recognized as the architect of the potent Pirate offensive attack of the 1990s that resulted in seven of the top-10 passing and total offensive teams in school history. Six of those teams also rank among the highest scoring teams as well. Prior to being named head coach, Logan spent two years as offensive coordinator, which included the 1991 Peach Bowl Championship campaign, and one season as running backs coach.
Ward was the first woman in NCAA history to steal over 190 bases and ended her career as the NCAA's all-time lead in with 193, which still ranks among the all-time top-10 in NCAA history. After setting the NCAA record with 73 stolen bases in 1993, Ward swiped 80 bags in 1994 to establish a new record that still stands nearly 20 years later. The only player in NCAA history to steal five bases in a game twice, Ward was named the 1994 East Coast Athletic Conference (ECAC) Player-of-the-Year after garnering first-team all-league honors the year before. She batted .450 as junior in 1993 to post the ninth-highest average in the country that season and followed up with a .417 clip the next season. She is one of only two players in school history to hit over .400 twice.
A two-time first-team All-Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) player, Williamson is the only player in the storied history of Pirate baseball with 40 home runs, 50 doubles, 100 walks, 200 runs and 200 RBI. He is ECU's all-time leader in at-bats (901), doubles (72), games started (236) and total bases (509) while ranking second in games played (238), hits (294) and runs (213). During his rookie season of 1998, he became the first Pirate to receive Freshman All-America honors by Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball. He helped the Pirates earn three consecutive NCAA Tournament berths from 1999-2001 and led them to their first Super Regional appearance in 2001. Williamson was a member of a pair of CAA regular season and tournament championship teams.
Since it was established in 1974, 139 former student-athletes, coaches and administrators have been elected to the ECU Athletics Hall of Fame. Ten members were selected for the initial year and each since, with the exception of a five-year span in the mid-80s, at least one new inductee has been added.

DISTRICT HEIGHTS, Md. (WUSA) - It is the latest crime involving hot styles: a 17-year-old was robbed at North Point High in Charles County of his expensive Nike sneakers last Thursday.
On Tuesday, 17-year-old Chavez Myers will face a judge in the fatal stabbing of 18-year-old Olijawon Griffin of Olney that all started when Myers and friends allegedly stole Griffin's pricey Helly Hansen coat.
Dawn Lyles, the co-owner of U First Fashion & Sports in District Heights explains the rise of the trend. "They like the colors, they like the fact that it says "HH," and it's just different," she said.
When you think Helly Hansen, you most likely think of U First Fashion & Sports in Prince George's County. Lyles and her cousin Steve Coates are still shocked teens would kill for clothes.
"We have kids of our own, and we would not like to see that happen to anyone," said Lyles.
Coates says the coats cost between $100 and $280, and teens can't get enough. "We get three or four calls a day about coats that we don't have, and the sad part about it is, it's getting hard to get. What changed is the economy changed, so not just for Helly they're robbing for, they're robbing for anything," he said.
Coates and Lyles sell Nikes, Helly Hansen and more at their three stores. Coates says he'll do what he can to make sure no teen has to steal. "You don't have the money, we are the type of company and business that we're like 'okay, what you got?' We'll work with you, we'll make it affordable so you can buy without taking it from somebody else," he said.
Coates says that because he and his family are from the community, they keep the prices lower, and offer layaway on a case-by-case basis. But he and his cousin also want to remind teens who are feeling the heat that "The clothes don't make the person, I try to tell people it's not what you wear, it's who you are," he said.

By Pat McGonigle
St. Louis, MO (KSDK) - Sadly, the Magic Kingdom isn't expanding to St. Louis anytime soon. But not so long ago, Disney's world famous Imagineers labored over blueprints for a massive downtown theme park just north of Busch Stadium.
Walt Disney made several trips to St. Louis in 1963 to discuss plans for "Riverfront Square," a five-story, fully enclosed park with a St. Louis and New Orleans theme.
You can see blueprints and a computer animation of what the park was supposed to look like by clicking on the video player on this page.
The "Lewis and Clark Adventure" and "Meramec Caverns" rides never materialized, but the plans reflect Disney's deep affection for Missouri. Disney spent parts of his childhood in Marceline, Missouri and Kansas City.
In advance of the St. Louis bicentennial celebration (planned for 1964), city leaders approached Disney about producing a film about the city, according to "Walt Disney's Missouri" (Burnes, Butler, Viets).
Forget about a movie, Disney countered, why not build a massive park based on Mark Twain, westward expansion, and the Mississippi River?
In addition to his Missouri roots, Disney was impressed with the new plans for the St Louis downtown area in the early 1960's, which included a new Busch Stadium and a nearly complete Arch.
This local Disney misadventure is the first in an occasional feature we're calling "Wait, they did what?!" a look at intriguing and long-forgotten episodes stored in the KSDK film archives.
So why didn't it happen?
The most popular version of the legend holds that Disney knocked heads with August "Gussie" Busch, Jr. over-- what else? -- beer.
Disney was firmly opposed to serving beer inside "Riverfront Square". It's an issue KSDK asked Disney about during one of is visits to St. Louis in 1963.
The following exchange comes from the KSDK archives (you can also watch it on the video player).
Reporter: "Then it's your idea Mr. Disney that none of these places in this development will serve liquor?"
Disney: "Not within this complex, no. I mean there can be things outside if people want to go there, I mean tied in. But not within the same area. At Disneyland we don't even serve beer at Disneyland. At the hotel yes."
Reporter: "Is it a personal feeling with you about liquor?"
Disney: "Oh, no! I'll have a drink with anybody. Thing is, a lot of people don't believe in drinking and I respect their wishes."
The beer issue may not have been the only thing preventing "Riverfront Square" from happening. Differences over who would pay for the construction and an offer of cheap land in central Florida may also have heavily influenced Disney's decision to build in Orland instead, according to "Walt Disney's Missouri".
Even though St. Louis didn't get a Disney theme park, the plans for "Riverfront Square" live on in some of the most famous Magic Kingdom attractions in Orlando and elsewhere.
Which ones? Find out Tuesday, in the next installment of "Wait, They Did What?"

Paris, France (Sports Network) - Serena Williams' domination of women's tennis
continued Sunday with a straight-set win over Italy's Roberta Vinci in the
fourth round of the French Open.
The top-seeded Williams rolled to a 6-1, 6-3 triumph and extended her career-
best winning streak to 28 straight matches. She hasn't lost since falling to
Victoria Azarenka in the Doha final back in February and entered the second
Grand Slam of the year off titles in Miami, Charleston, Madrid and Rome.
Sunday's victory gave Williams a 20-0 mark on clay this year. She also
improved to 71-3 overall since a stunning first-round loss to Virginie Razzano
in last year's French Open, and has dropped just 10 games through the first
four rounds of this year's stay at Roland Garros.
The 15th-seeded Vinci has given Williams the most trouble thus far by taking
four games. However, it really wasn't much of a contest. Williams won the
first four games and captured the opening set in 29 minutes. The second set
was closer, but Williams won the final 10 points of the match.
Next up for the 15-time Grand Slam champ is Russian veteran Svetlana
Kuznetsova, a 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 upset winner over eighth-seeded German Angelique
Kuznetsova won the 2009 French Open, beating Williams in the quarterfinals
along the way, and was the runner-up in 2006. She has reached her second Grand
Slam quarterfinal in as many tries this year after a trip to the final eight
at the Australian Open in January, but hasn't won a tournament of any kind
since 2010 in San Diego.
Williams, the 2002 French champ, owns a 6-2 lifetime mark against Kuznetsova,
but the two haven't met since 2009 at the Tour Championships in Qatar.
Two more fourth-round matches are on tap for Sunday, as 2012 runner-up Sara
Errani of Italy will meet Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro and fourth-seeded
Agnieszka Radwanska will take on 2008 French winner Ana Ivanovic.

After Valiant Effort, Lofton 25th in Dover

After Valiant Effort, Lofton 25th in Dover
DOVER, DE. -- Despite the challenges of the track dubbed the "Monster Mile" Justin Lofton was consistent and competitive throughout the Lucas Oil 200 on Friday, but with just over 20 laps remaining in the event, the Monster reared its head as Lofton's truck broke loose, ending his day.
"I hate to leave Dover like that because we had a decent run going. The track just kind of pushes you down and things like that can happen. It's just real unfortunate for everyone on the No. 77 Lofton Cattle Toyota Tundra team," Lofton said.
After two practice sessions on Thursday afternoon, Lofton climbed behind the wheel of his No. 77 Tundra on Friday morning for two laps of qualifying. After his run, Lofton secured the 12th starting spot for the afternoon race.
Known for its steep banking and short track characteristics, the one-mile concrete track proved to be a challenge early for the competition once racing got underway. Lofton was no exception, as he radioed to crew chief Ryan Fugle early on that the truck was running just a bit tight. With no major handling issues on the 77 machine, the team kept it simple with air pressure adjustments throughout the day. Under their first pit stop of the race on lap 47, the team swapped out tires and added fuel.
Lofton's second stop fell on lap 75, with Fugle calling for two tires and fuel. After the strategic call, Lofton showed 12th for the restart. While some teams opted for four or two tires like Lofton, others stayed on track, shuffling the rundown.
As the field hit the halfway mark on lap 100, Lofton showed in the 11th position. He settled in behind the wheel, consistently clicking off competitive laps around the Monster Mile. As Fugle read off the lap times and coached his driver to keep battling, things heated up for Lofton.
On lap 120 the 25-year-old found himself in a three-wide battle while knocking on the door of the top-10. Shortly thereafter, green flag stops began. Lofton stayed on track until lap 142 before bringing his No. 77 Lofton Cattle Tundra down pit road for another four-tire change.
Once back on track, the battle over position continued, with Lofton seeing more intense three-wide racing. Unfortunately, Lofton's challenges would end on lap 178 while running in the 13th spot after the No. 77 Lofton Cattle Toyota broke loose out of turn 4. The damage ended Lofton's day. He was credited with the 25th position.
Lofton and the No. 77 Lofton Cattle team will regroup next Friday, May 20th, at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Troy Lee Designs Nano 3D Upper Mouthguard $0.00
When it comes to protection, the Troy Lee Designs Nano 3D Upper Mouthguard is a breed apart. Much more than just a conventional mouthpiece, this one custom molds to your teeth, aligns and stabilizes the jaw, and even reduces fatigue.
The Troy Lee Designs Nano 3D Upper Mouthguard is designed to disperse impact away from the point of contact (the tooth that will be chipped or broken) to a wider area so the impact can be absorbed without damaging valuable orthodontia. It molds to your teeth for a precise, custom fit while aligning and stabilizing the jaw. It turns out, however, that a mouthguard can do much more than protect your mouth and teeth. A Mandibular Orthopedic Repositioning Appliance positions the lower jaw down and forward, which allows you to breathe more fully. This, in turn, reduces fatigue so you can ride harder, longer.
The Troy Lee Designs Nano 3D Upper Mouthguard comes in one size.
