Nope, Fox Sports Houston was NOT a standalone channel. Fox Sports Houston aired Fox Sports SW programming except when a Houston team was playing, and then they split the feeds temporarily.
In fact, when I switched from Dish to D*, Dish was only part-timing FSN-H during events, and carrying FSN-SW the rest of the time. (Really sucked because it seemed like the Houston feed changed channel numbers every other day)
(The easiest way to tell that they were the same channel was the advertising for local Dallas businesses that ran during things like college football games on the supposed "Fox Sports Houston" channel. I really hate the Dallas Jewelery Exchange commercial.)
Document for me that D* is paying Fox less for FSN-SW now than they were paying for FSN-SW plus the part-time FSN-H, and I'll withdraw my argument. And no, D* can't stop carrying FSN-SW in Houston because of the college sports packages that FSN has.
BTW, what brought me back here was the SBJ story that sdk linked...excellent read on this topic.
Incorrect. Directv aired it as a part time channel. That doesn't mean it was actually a part time channel. Fox Sports Houston was very much a full time channel for customers of other providers. It becames\ a 24/7 Channel in 2009.
I dont need to document that D* is paying Fox less for Fox Sports SW. Again - nothing has changed for Fox Sports Southwest, and Fox Sports Houston was replaced with Fox Sports New Orleans which airs Hornets games. And as i also mentioned earlier - that's not the way the deal works with Fox and Directv. the RSN are included in the package of FOX Channels that Directv bought - including FX, Fox Soccer, Speed, Nat Geo, Nat Geo Wild, Fox College Sports, Fuel, FMC, and all your favorite Fox Sports Channels.

NEWTOWN, Conn. (WUSA) -- A sick and twisted hoax sent mourners in a Newtown church running. In the middle of the packed noon mass at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Newtown Sunday, police say the church received a phone call.
They say the caller warned he would shoot up the place. Minutes later, the church was evacuated. Anna Wood from Oxford was there, "I looked up and I said if anything has to happen, protect the kids." Kathy Hatzmann was at the church with her daughter Brianna, "It's beyond incomprehensible that in the midst of all this horror and tragedy, that they're still continuing to put fear in our children."
Chaos reigned outside the church as police directed traffic, and parishioners and well-wishers were turned away. Hatzmann couldn't believe it, "This is church. This is where you're supposed to be safe. You can't be safe at church, you can't be safe in our children's schools. It's a sad thing."
In any other town, news of a threat at a crowded church would be the top story on the evening news. But, this is Newtown - a place already struggling to breathe after 20 6- and 7-year-olds were gunned down in their 1st grade classroom along with 6 adults, in what will forever be called the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre
Hatzsmann knows the horror all too well, and thought this as she left the church, "I didn't want to be another one of those grieving moms."

Bone Scan
J. Taylor Whaley, MD
Last Modified: October 25, 2012
What is a Bone scan?
- A bone scan, also known as bone scintigraphy, is a non-invasive nuclear medicine test used to evaluate the entire skeleton for abnormalities in the bones.
- The most basic radiology test to assess the health of bones is the X-Ray; however, with infections and cancer, it is often useful to obtain "functional imaging" to evaluate the bones. Functional imaging can measure the rate of bone metabolism, which can be elevated with infections, fractures, and certain cancers. It is important to understand that without talking to the patient and knowing the medical history, the results of a bone scan can be very difficult to interpret. For example, old bone injuries can show up on the scan as an abnormal finding.
What is this test used for?
- Bones scans are a type of nuclear medicine scan, meaning a scan that uses a radioactive substance to diagnose or evaluate the body.
- Bone scans should not be confused with a DEXA, or bone density, scan, which is a type of X-ray used to detect osteoporosis.
- A bone scan can evaluate the rate of metabolism of bones throughout the body. In infections, fractures, and cancer, as the body attempts to repair the problem, osteoblasts create more bone; it is this new bone activity that is detected on the bone scan.
- A bone scan may be used when cancer is first diagnosed to determine if the cancer has spread to the bone.
How is this test performed?
- Bone scans are generally an outpatient procedure. An intravenous line is placed and an injection of a radioactive material, typically Technitium-99m-MDP, is given. The injection of the material does not hurt and the amount of radiation is very small.
- Bone scans detect the rate of bone deposition by osteoblasts because they take up the radioactive material that is injected.
- Two to three hours after the infusion is given, a scan is performed.
- The scanner is a special type of camera that detects gamma rays, which are a type of radiation emitted by the injection. Bone fractures, bone infections, and cancer in bones all show up as increased activity in the bones.
- During the scan, the patient will lie on a flat table. The scan will evaluate the whole body of the patient at once, which can take up to an hour.
- An image is created based on how many Gamma rays reach the detector. The computer then processes this to create a picture of the patient. Any areas with increased bone activity show up as a dark spot on the image (see example below).
- If you are pregnant or nursing, you should notify your doctor prior to the scan.
Example of a bone scan result.
Multiple areas of concern are seen in this patient's bones.
How do I prepare for a bone scan?
- Typically, no preparation is needed.
How do I interpret the results of a bone scan report?
- Following the scan, the images are processed by a computer and read by a nuclear medicine radiologist. The radiologist then generates a report for the medical professional that ordered the scan.
- The report generally states the patient's name, date of birth, and indication (reason for the bone scan) at the top of the report. Radiology reports follow a standard outline, regardless of where they are obtained. Radiologists report both normal and abnormal findings in a very systematic approach. For this reason, it is very important to discuss the results with your doctor.
- The first paragraph typically includes the specific technical information involved in obtaining the scan (i.e. how much Technitium was given, whether the whole body was scanned, etc).
- The middle paragraphs generally describe the findings, both normal and abnormal. The terminology is often medically oriented and can be difficult to interpret.
- The final paragraph is typically a summary of the findings, often generated to answer the question posed by the ordering physician.

If you're like most people with oily skin, your complexion often becomes shiny, particular in the t-zone area of the forehead, nose and chin. This shine develops due to excess oil, which lingers on the surface of your skin and creates a reflective surface. Numerous techniques are available for controlling shine from blotting papers to face powder, but typically these products offer only short-lived benefits. With an hour or two, your skin has manufactured enough oil for the shine to return, creating a continuous cycle of short-term treatment followed by the return of unwanted shine.
OC Eight skin care products help to break the shine cycle, allowing your skin to look matte and radiant without the need for cosmetics or blotting papers. The formulas found in OC Eight skin care products absorb excess oil on the skin and remain effective for up to 8 hours, keeping you free of shine throughout your entire workday or evening. The OC Eight skin care collection also includes products to help treat acne, another common problem associated with oily complexions. Fight oily shine before it starts with OC Eight.
OC Eight is a part of the expansive Ferndale Healthcare brand. This company dates back to the late 19th century, when it was first founded as the J.R. Hartz Company in 1897. Since then, the Ferndale Healthcare brand has focused on finding technologically innovative solutions to a range of health and personal care issues. The company's start as a pharmaceutical manufacturer has evolved into a nationally recognized healthcare holding company. Ferndale Healthcare's growth—which included the development of the OC Eight brand—is indicative of the company's success. After all, if consumers didn't invest in these products, the company would not have enjoyed such expansive growth.
OC Eight's line of products has been researched by some of the nation's top dermatologists. Even more, the product line has been favorably reviewed in top publications that include Elle, Glamour, Redbook, and Health magazines. They have been used on well-known television programs such as American Idol and The Glee Project. Such national recognition, in part, is due to the backing of these products by skin care professionals. The products' eight-hour formula, which works to reduce shine and redness for a full workday, helps you create a beautiful complexion every day. All skin types can enjoy these products, which also work to even your skin tone. If acne is your concern, whether you're a teen or an adult, you can opt for the OC Eight Acne line of products, which uses benzoyl peroxide to minimize those bothersome blemishes. Discover how the OC Eight line of products can benefit you, and choose the right product for your needs today.

Houston, TX (Sports Network) - Recent history showed that Houston has owned
the series versus Golden State, after all, the Rockets entered Sunday's
matchup having won all three games in the series this season and 17 of 19
versus Golden State.
The Warriors, though, had other plans and abruptly ended a nine-game skid in
Houston by downing the Rockets, 108-78, behind Stephen Curry's 29-point and
11-assist effort and Klay Thompson's 26 points and 6-of-9 shooting from behind
the arc.
Andrew Bogut had 12 points and 12 rebounds and David Lee had 10 points and 10
boards for the Warriors, who finally picked up a much-needed victory in the
series, even if it wasn't as pretty as planned.
James Harden scored 21 points to go along with 10 rebounds and eight assists
for the Rockets, who trailed by 23 points at the break and shot below 20
percent in the first half. Jeremy Lin added 21 points as well in the setback.

If you have a couple of hours to listen to the clip in this article, you will hear the truth of UFO sightings by many professionals. This was a conference held in 2001,but tomorrow another such will take place.
At last papers are going to be declassified & these men who have been told to 'say nothing' in the past, can now speak out about their experiences. They have diagrams & documents to prove what they are saying.
As it happens they are Americans, but we all know British pilots have said they'd seen unexplained 'things' on various journeys.
Having listened to these men talking, I now realise why the authorities have demanded their silence, the comments about it being for security reasons would appear to be true.
Apparently these flying objects have damaged radar, sensitive equipment & frequently appear around nuclear plants.
Personally I believe this would be by accident not design, but then what do I know ?
"The UK government have also been accused of covering up the subject, with claims that 30 years ago a UFO directed beams of light into the RAF Bentwaters base in Suffolk – one of the few U.S. military bases in Britain to hold nuclear weapons."
The base's deputy commander Charles Halt will join the group on Monday to discuss the incident.
'The security services of both the United States and the United Kingdom have attempted, both then and now, to subvert the significance of what occurred at RAF Bentwaters by the use of well-practiced methods of disinformation.'
I have always believed that it's nothing but sheer arrogance to presume we are the only inhabited planet……. why should we be ? Somewhere out there are a much more advanced 'people', viewing us as we think of the Dinosaur, visiting us on the same sort of recce as we've done to the Moon & Mars?

|Dixon: It's all paid off
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Friday, 04 January 2013 17:49
"You're everything this program is all about," were Coach Bo Pelini's parting words to his fifth-year senior as Taylor Dixon and fellow seniors experienced the famed tunnel walk for the last time as a Husker gridder. Members of Dixon's family joined in the moment by greeting him on the sideline before his final game in front of the 80,000 cheering Big Red fans. (Photo by Lynn McBride)
By Lynn McBride
Guest Writer
"From now on, I know that most people I encounter will not know I played football for the Huskers. But in Wauneta people know," said Taylor Dixon, a 2008 graduate of Wauneta-Palisade School.
Dixon, a wide receiver for the Huskers, fulfilled the dream of virtually every little boy in the state as he grew up aspiring to be a Husker. "Yeah. When friends and I played any pick-up game of touch or flag football in the yard, at the park, whatever, I never imagined being anything else but a Husker. We never thought about being a Wildcat or anything else. It was always a Husker."
Dixon ends his Husker career as a product of the fabled walk-on program that sets the Husker Nation apart from most other universities in the country. Walk-ons are invited by the coaching staff, but enter school without a scholarship. Some walk-ons eventually are awarded a scholarship, but most pay their own way through college.
Dixon credits his dad, Brad, first and foremost, in feeding the dream to be a Husker. "I just assumed I'd go to school at Chadron, or Kearney, or some place like that, but Dad would say, 'Why don't you call some coaches? Why don't you go to some camps? Why don't you...?' He's the one that encouraged me most."
Dixon had attended a quarterback camp at the University, so he called Coach Watson, the quarterbacks coach at that time, mostly to see if he remembered the Bronco from W/P. "Of course I do," was Coach Watson's response. He followed that with a request for any game tapes Taylor might have. "So I got out a bunch of old VHS tapes, knowing they're obsolete now days. It was really crude. My game film was highlight–static–highlight–static. I put it together myself in our basement." But it worked.
Dixon, in the fall of 2008, was one of 30 invitees to the Husker walk-on program. He redshirted his freshman year. Athletes are granted five years to complete four years of eligibility. A redshirt is part of the team, but will be a practice player only.
The season of 2012 was the culmination of his college career as a Husker football player. Dixon graduated from the University Saturday, Dec.15.
But, the real story can now unfold. After a stellar career at Wauneta-Palisade, a stint abounding with team, conference, district, and state-wide honors, a career in which he basically single-handedly carried the team on his shoulders as a senior, according to his high school coach, Randy Geier, Dixon was faced with no real promising prospect of getting much playing time. Was this a problem? Was it frustrating?
"Not at all," was the sincere response. "I don't really care about the headlines and getting my name in print. I'm more than content knowing that this kid from a small town did his best to overcome all odds to be part of one of the biggest things in the state, an experience that most kids would die for. I'm just proud that I stuck it out all these years. It was a lot of work, but it's all paid off."
Dixon alluded to the pride felt in getting to play in four games this year. "Hopefully people will realize that I didn't just occupy a spot and that I did work for my position. That's part of the legacy I think I'm leaving."
The temptation to transfer to a smaller college where stardom would be almost certain, or to decide against being a part of the Husker program must have presented itself. "Not really," was Dixon's quick response. "To give it up was never an option. I had too many people back in Wauneta behind me. If I had changed my mind, I not only would have let many friends down, but I'd be just another guy if I were not on the team here. My name will be on the letterman's wall (a wall-of-fame, of sorts, in the west hallway of Memorial Stadium), and I take a lot of pride in that. Again, it's all paid off."
Individual recognition is not important if one has a "we, not me" outlook.
Football, as is the case with other athletic endeavors, is a team sport. The Husker roster might list as many as a dozen wide receivers. Did the competition for playing time present any problem as far as team unity? "Never," was Dixon's firm answer.
"We're all doing it for the same reasons...to win games, to have the opportunities for conference and national championships. If that's the main goal, I don't care who's out there. It's not a big issue. In fact, it makes us stronger friends. We are not going to spend all this time together to have a mediocre season." Dixon added, in an unselfish manner, that his role is to prepare his teammates who will be playing in the games, pushing them in practice, holding them accountable. He said that everybody has a role, even if it's not directly playing in games.
Does that 'team first' attitude surprise his high school coach? "No!" was Coach Randy Geier's emphatic answer. Now the superintendent of schools, as well as still being involved in coaching, Geier saw this trait several years ago. "As a sophomore in high school Taylor was our whole offense. But for his junior year, we retooled the offense a little. The result was that Taylor was not going to pile up the yards he was used to the year before. He was very sincere when he told us that he's fine with that. He told us that the team is what counts, and that he would do whatever it takes to help the team win."
Later when Dixon suffered a broken thumb, he had to be replaced as the team's quarterback, becoming a running back. "That, again, was fine with him," said Coach Geier. "For a 16, 17 year-old to unselfishly accept the team concept the way he did was very impressive."
When telling about his dad's part in his decision to pursue a Husker career, Coach Geier's was the very next name mentioned. "Coach Barney Cotton (an associate head coach on the Husker staff) called me. He told me a lot about the values of the program when his first question was, 'What is Taylor Dixon's character?' I told him that he would never find a better individual character-wise than Taylor Dixon."
As Dixon exited from the famed tunnel walk for the last time, he was greeted by Coach Bo Pelini. "He told me, 'You're everything this program is all about. Thank you for everything you've done.' We told each other that we love each other. I just wanted to absorb everything about the moment. I'm glad my family was there to enjoy the moment with me."
Taylor Dixon stepped out of a dream-come-true. The kid from a small town took on the big time with a stick-to-it attitude that set him apart from others. Of the class of 30 walk-ons, just 11 shared this moment with him.
He takes with him, "A broad experience I would never have had. I have friends on the team from South Korea, Texas, Florida, California, Louisiana, and, yes, Nebraska. I have learned about diversity, about accepting different views, and about learning to respect all of them."
Dixon also takes with him a University degree in Fisheries and Wildlife Management, his helmet, a couple of jerseys, (one of which is the red 'throw-back' jersey worn for one game), knowing his name is on the letterman's wall, many tight-knit friendships, and the inner satisfaction of having taken full advantage of a gigantic opportunity afforded only a select few.
Yes, he also takes his leave acknowledging the huge role that representing 'all the people in Wauneta who were pulling for me' played in his career as a Husker. In Coach Geier's words, "Taylor is, and always has been, all about we, not me." The 'we' most certainly includes those for whom Taylor Dixon played, his friends and family back in Wauneta. It's all paid off.
Taylor Dixon, a wide receiver for the Huskers, is responsible for more than simply catching passes, foremost of which is blocking opponents. In action in the Arkansas State game he does just that. (Photo by Lynn McBride)

A form of violent assault, acid attack is formally defined as the act of throwing acid into the body of someone else with the intentions of disfiguring or injuring out of jealousy or revenge. The statistics show that more than eighty percent of the acid attack victims all over the world are women and children. Although quite prevalent even in states of America and other developed nations, acid violence seems to be almost unique to the Africa and South Asia region with most incidents happening in Bangladesh and Pakistan.
These acid attacks happen all over the world but are notably more prevalent in Cambodia and India as well due to the cheap prices and easy availability of acid.A large number of Indian households use concentrated acid to sterilize their kitchens and bathrooms, as Americans use bleach.

May 25, 2016
CINCINNATI (AP) -- Andrelton Simmons homered twice and drove in a career-high four runs on Monday night, leading the Atlanta Braves to a 7-4 victory that ended the Cincinnati Reds' winning streak at three games.
The Braves won at a place where they've had little success lately. They were 0-4 at Great American Ball Park last season and 14-25 overall since it opened for the 2003 season.
Paul Maholm (4-3) held down an offense that's been all-or-nothing. The left-hander allowed four hits and two runs in 5 2-3 innings. Craig Kimbrel gave up a pair of hits in the ninth while getting his 10th save in 12 opportunities.
Atlanta scored in four of five innings against Bronson Arroyo (2-4), who gave up four runs in his shortest outing of the season.

We offer competitive rates for those who take good care of themselves by making healthy lifestyle choices. Keep in mind, though, multiple factors determine policy rates.

Meet the Parents
by Slacker And Steve
posted Nov 21 2013 5:42PM
It's getting to be the holiday season, which is loved by some and dreaded by others for the same reason: family. Family is an especially daunting prospect for those in fledgling relationships -- when are you going to meet his parents? When is he going to meet your parents? Whatever's to come, we really, really, want to avoid a whole Meet the Parents situation. Not that your Dad's as scary as Robert De Niro, but still. Here are some tips for bringing your boyfriend home for the first time.
1. Make sure you're both ready. Just like big decisions like moving in together or getting married, it's important you are ready to take this step together. Like all other aspects of a growing relationship, communication is the key.
2. Ease him in. Consider introducing him to your siblings first (if you have any). They might be able to help him feel more supported when he meets your parents. Depending on your relationship with them, you might even want him to meet your mother first, since she might be more inclined to like him than your father. Basically, it will help him to feel like he has all the allies he can get before meeting the Big Cheese (AKA your Dad).
3. It's all about baby steps. What can your boyfriend handle? Especially if he's the shy, reserved type, he may not want to meet your entire extended family at the same time. Make things more manageable for him by choosing a situation you're both comfortable with. It might be easiest for the two of you to meet on home turf. No, not necessarily your home, but somewhere familiar, such as a favorite restaurant. That will help keep things from getting overwhelming.
4. Give him a cheat sheet. Okay, so you don't actually need to make your boyfriend a cheat sheet, but you should prime him on your parents likes and dislikes to avoid any awkward rifts. Are your parents born-again Christians? He might not want to bring up his pro-gay marriage views (yet). Do they love NCIS? He might not want to joke about how only old people watch that show (ever). Just make sure he's on the same page as much as possible. You don't want to send him to the front lines without at least some artillery. Maybe that's not the best analogy for the situation…just help him make the best first impression possible.
5. Have his back. Remember, this will likely be a somewhat frightening experience for him (if you've met his parents already, you know the feeling). Be as supportive as possible. If your parents are on the offense, try to guide the conversation to safer waters. Just make sure you're alert and sensitive to the situation at hand.
Slacker when he met his wife's parents it was in Brazil. He was jet lagged and so they wanted to nap. Her parents gave up their bed. The next morning at breakfast was a bit awkward. Slacker met his ex's parents in a tiny town in California and walking in he had to protect himself because flying across the room was a can of beer. They took him to the bar at the Elk's Club. He went outside in the back yard to get some air and there were three older relatives sitting around passing around a pair of needle nose pliers with a joint! Talk about awkward Slacker doesn't do drugs at all and was not expecting that. There is tons of advice out there for men and not really for women. When you walk in and no one knows you feel like a pod person like everyone is looking at you like "he's not one of us!"
Steve never is in a relationship long enough where he has to meet the "rents." Once he did and he felt like her dad was looking at him like he was the one that is….with his daughter. It was just awkward. It is always the father that makes you nervous.
Did you have something go terribly wrong when you met the parents? Was it the most awkward situation of your life?
I had a bad experience when I went out of state to meet my ex's parents. We had been driving for hours and hours and when we hit the door he hit the food line. His entire extended family was over for a holiday dinner and he left me all alone. I had to do my own introductions explaining who I was and why I was there. Later on I met a woman and her granddaughter and she mentioned that it was weird that I had the same name as her daughter. Later it was explained that my ex dated her daughter pretty seriously and they thought that the granddaughter was my ex's kid. I made a jerk of myself because I had no idea what was going on. I felt like I didn't really know the man I had been dating.

16th Annual Franklin County Cider Days 2010 ~ Part 1 of 3.
A couple weeks back it was my pleasure and honor to be able to travel back east to Western Massachusetts and attend Franklin County CiderDays. This is part 1 of a 2 part recap chronicaling my experience. For those that don't know, Franklin County CiderDays has got to be the premier cider event in all of North America. I was able to go to CiderDays thanks to a generous invite and offer from Tieton Cider Works. They offered to help me get there and in doing so becoming the very first Old Time Cider Travel Sponsor. Appreciation and graditude to Sharon, Craig, and crew at Tieton.
Friday November 4th 2010, the day before CiderDays...
I flew out of SeaTac airport late Thursday night only to arrive very early Friday morning in Boston. I took the Red-Line into Boston where I was able to find some excellent espresso and explore for a short while before eventually meeting up with friends Sharon and Craig Campbell owners of Tieton Cider Works to make our 2.5 hour drive to Western Massachusetts. During my trip I heard multiple times that we were a couple weeks too late for the full congregation of Autumn splendor which might have been the case but I found the area was still alive with the ripe colors and smells of Fall.
Although no official CiderDays events are scheduled we left Boston en-route for Greenfield MA that Friday early to meet with some of the country's leading cidermakers for what could be called a sort-of "state of cider" gathering. Each major cider producing area was represented more or less in what was from my perspective a collegial discussion revolving around basic cidermaker concerns. Category development, marketing/labeling hurdles, and Federal legislation issues were all discussed at great length.
Attending the meeting was educational and obviously thought provoking. The general sentiment seemed to be that cider has certainly come a long way in recent years but to develop as an official category of our own we have quite a but further to go. I got to meet lots of great folks from all over. Represented at the meeting was Wandering Aengus Cider Works, Tieton Cider Works, Foggy Ridge Cider, Uncle John's Fruithouse Winery, Black Star Farms, Eden Ice Cider, Tandem Ciders, Tideview Cider, Bellewether Cider and… Farnum Hill Cider. Ben Watson organizer of CiderDays.
After the meeting we adjourned to meet at a local restaurant Hope & Olive for some eats and cider tasting. Soon after sitting down I had to leave to meet up with my buddy Al Yelvington who I was roommates with for the weekend. It was probably a fortunate time to take off. I know I would have had a blast but was dead tired and wouldn't have been 100% for the bug day on Saturday had I stuck around longer.
Saturday November 5th 2010, CiderDay
I was told that CiderDays used to be CiderDay. However with an expanded schedule there are now over 30+ events held on both Saturday and Sunday. All events occur in and around a handful of towns in Northwestern Massachusetts. Greenfield, Old Deerfield, Shelburne Falls, and Ashfield.
CiderDays events list is varied from the family-friendly like Apple Pancake Breakfasts, Orchard Rides, Cider Press Demos, Apples for Baking, Identifying and Conserving Heritage Apples and even a Wassail-Orchard walk with none other than Michael Phillips author of The Apple Grower. To the right is Michael Phillips on the Cider Salon floor tasting ciders and talking apples.
Folks with cider of the fermented variety on their mind had plenty of tough choices to make. There are more cider related events scheduled than one could possibly hope to attend. Intro to Cider Making, Blending Apples for Cider, Making Barrel Cider, Home Cidermaker Tasting, Ice Cider Tasting, Apple Brandy, Pear Brandy Calvados and Scrumpy. Let's not forget the Cider Salon and CiderDays Harvest Supper in the evening. Cider tastings of all sorts all throughout the day. Cider tasting even at events you may not expect cider tasting to be at.
As expected selecting from the overwhelming number of cider and apple events was a real chore. I stayed the course and attended events closely related to cider and cidermaking. As it turned out the cool white building in the picture above is the Sherburne Buckland Community Center where all my daytime events occurred. They had craft sales inside the community center in one room, the workshops and discussion took place in the main auditorium. Just outside the front doors you would find rare and heirloom variety apples sales courtesy of Scott Farm Heirloom Apples as well as an apple wood smoked bbq stand.
Blending Apples for Cider with Claude Jolicoeur
My first official event for CiderDays was one that I was really looking forward to. Blending Apples for Cider with Claude Jolicoeur. Claude's presentation covered the key elements of blending ciders. He highlighted the importance of accurate note taking and the recording measurements such as brix, pH, acidity and even tannin early on in his talk. Claude also discussed was the important balance of sugar, acid, and nitrogen for healthy fermentation and also how acids and tannin (soft and hard) influence cider flavor. Claude showed how to map out and plan a blend, which types or flavors of apples to look for, how ripe, sugar content, tannins, and so on. It was a really great presentation and although I certainly didn't expect it we got our day's first taste of cider early. Claude brought some of his own cider to pour, a really nice example of a French style cider from his home in Quebec.
Home Cidermaker's Tasting
Man did this discussion and tasting pack 'em in… Possibly the promise of several free samples of cider. It was led panel of 4 well seasoned, experienced home cidermakers who led a discussion on small scale cidermaking at home. I think some of the panelists pressed their own apples but there was a lot of discussion about custom cider pressings done by local cider presses like Pine Hill Orchards. Pine Hill Orchards appeared to be regionally known for pressing specialty batches for the cider hobbyist blended with fermenting in mind.
There was lots of discussion about making "New England" style ciders, and adding fruit to ciders and such. Fresh fruit, frozen fruit, boiled fruit even dehydrated fruit. A gathering like this wouldn't be complete without the eternal topic of which yeasts to use. Are beer yeasts okay? What about natural yeasts? The cider samples were pretty interesting, some good… One stand out in flavor and strength was a cider concoction heavily fortified with Laird's Applejack.
Check back for Part 2. Conversation and Cider Tasting with Leading Cidermakers.
I'd like to mention that this weekend wouldn't have happened and was all made possible for me by the kind folks at Tieton Cider Works who offered to take me along and by doing so becoming my first ever "Cider Event Travel Sponsor". Super special thanks to Sharon, Craig, Cindy, Fred, and Marcus for their support. Their award winning ciders are becoming easier and easier to find every day.

XPO Logistics further strengthens last-mile offerings with acquisition of Optima Service Solutions
November 15, 2013
In its most recent acquisition, non asset-based 3PL XPO Logistics said today it has brought Atlanta-based Optima Service Solutions LLC into the fold.
XPO said it purchased the non-asset provider of last-mile logistics for $26.6 million. And it added that Optima had revenue of $35.7 million and adjusted EBITDA of $3.7 million, respectively, for the trailing 12 months ended October 31, 2013. The acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings, exclusive of any synergies with the company's existing freight brokerage business.
"Optima is a fast-growing, highly scalable leader in its space, and expands the capabilities of our last-mile division, 3PD," XPO Chairman and CEO Brad Jacobs said in a statement. "It enhances our ability to provide a seamless in-home delivery experience for end customers, particularly with large appliances and electronics. In addition, Optima benefits from the same powerful tailwind as 3PD: the growing inclination of retailers and manufacturers to outsource the last-mile logistics of heavy goods. We plan to leverage these synergies, and integrate Optima's proprietary software with our last-mile technology. This will create a single, powerful customer service platform that doesn't exist in the last-mile sector today."
In a recent interview with LM, Jacobs hinted this deal was coming, explaining that XPO was actively bidding on last-mile business in appliances, furniture, electronics, and building materials. Jacobs also said that XPO was talking to a large potential customer that is a major electronics manufacturer that is expanding and growing fulfillment centers and needs last-mile services.
Optima was established in 1997, and XPO said it generated a 16 percent compound annual growth rate over the last five years. Optima's business leverages a contractual network of independent carriers and technicians that facilitate the residential delivery of heavy goods throughout the U.S. in every zip code, coupled with its proprietary technology that tracks last-mile processes through order entry, scheduling and service completion.
Last-mile delivery is a market segment XPO is keen on, and with its previous acquisition of 3PD, the largest non-asset, third party provider of heavy goods, last-mile logistics in North America, which was completed in August, and this week's Optima acquisition, it is apparent that it will only continue to expand its last-mile presence.
Prior to the completion of the 3PD deal in July, Jacobs said that non-asset 3PLs matching shippers with carriers to get freight moved like XPO does is a major milestone in the company's strategy and accelerates its growth rate and is a strong strategic fit."
In XPO's base business, Jacobs said XPO moves a lot of freight from factories and retailers to distribution centers and stores, with 3PD picking up where XPO leaves off.
This is where he said the last-mile service comes into play, with companies like 3PD and Optima moving freight from distribution centers to stores and into homes, businesses, and job sites through the final mile to the end user.
In an interview with LM, XPO Chief Strategy Officer Scott Malat said that Optima will be integrated into XPO's 3PD business line.
"There are a lot of synergies between Optima and 3PD," he said. "We are already the largest player in the heavy-goods, last-mile segment, but now we will combine our networks and are now able to tap into a larger carrier base and thousands of specialized technicians, which makes us more attractive to shippers.
Malat added that XPO's heavy-goods, last-mile network is comprised of 3PD's 700 carrier base representing 2,000 trucks, and Optima's 250 carriers.
By combining these networks and tapping into a larger carrier base, XPO customers will have increased access to available capacity, said Malat, coupled with more specialized technicians. And from a technology standpoint, XPO can better match customer needs for these technicians with Optima's proprietary technology that Malat said is meshed with XPO's customer experience management software at 3PD.
"We are putting together a powerful customer service platform that does not exist in last-mile today," he said.
Stifel Nicolaus analyst John Larkin wrote in a research note that XPO management estimates that Optima was in the top 30 last-mile logistics providers, and that several other similar sized and slightly larger players make up the U.S. last-mile market, but he noted that some of those have an agent model that would be slightly less attractive (unless converted upon acquisition).

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are making big moves following the announcement that they're pregnant with their first child.
According to TMZ, the couple dropped $11 million on a mansion located in Bel Air, California. The 10,000-square-foot home is situated in a private gated community, and they purchased it several weeks ago.
Now, they're renovating the abode and expanding it to become a custom 14,000-square-foot property. It will be an Italian-style villa with a "gym, movie theater, full hair and makeup salon, bowling alley, basketball court, indoor and outdoor pool."
Check a picture of the house below.

In the third installment of Deschutes River Recordings we traveled to Smith Rock, a mecca for rock climbers and adventurists alike, with singer and songwriter Laura Gibson.
Laura, a native Oregonian, says she "likes to feel the rumble in [her] sternum and the vibrations in the back of [her] throat" when she sings. While she exhibits a gentle mannerism, her voice is powerful and present. In our recording at Smith Rock, the harmonic voices of Laura and her bandmates complement the epic sound of the trumpet and the beat of the drum. Executive producer Steve Rauner of NORTH says he focused on "using the environment to shape the sounds and frame the performance." The echoing of the horn and the drum off the cliff is evident and impressive.
Laura was raised in Coquille, a sleepy logging town along the southern coast of Oregon. She was exposed to music at a young age and is a classically trained cellist. Naturally camera-shy, she spent time performing in unusual venues like hospices and nursing homes before gaining enough confidence to take the stage. Laura is an incredible storyteller and her latest album is no exception. Her lyrics are lush and imaginative, and she shows a spiritual connection to the places she describes. The album is named after La Grande, a place "people usually pass through on their way to somewhere else, but which contains a certain gravity, a curious energy."
Laura Gibson and her band are headed out on tour with Typhoon next month. Check out tour dates here. Thank you to Laura for her performance and to Eric D. Johnson of Fruit Bats and Eric Earley of Blitzen Trapper for the first two episodes in the series. And a special thanks to Matt Pence, the talented sound engineer behind these recordings. With his direction, we brought you recordings of independent artists far from the safety net of the studio.

Lower Neuse Riverkeeper Larry Baldwin says he can't issue alerts for people to stay out of the water, so he is recommending people minimize contact with the Trent and Neuse Rivers after Hurricane Irene.
Baldwin says he is seeing some disturbing data from the rivers, including low levels of dissolved oxygen in the waters from the upper Trent River above Pollocksville to the Neuse and in the Neuse River primarily in the area around New Bern downstream below James City and to Black Beacon Point.
Additionally, salinity levels in the rivers are very low, which is expected after a hurricane or large rain event. Some other readings are indicating a lot of pollutants, including the turbidity level and the pH levels.
The drought conditions before Hurricane Irene mean many pollutants were being stored in the soil, but they have now presumably washed into the rivers, according to Baldwin. He says dead crab and dead fish have been reported.
"It is the RECOMMENDATION of the NRF that contact with the water at this time be minimal, and that if time is spent in contact, showering as soon after the exposure is also recommended," Baldwin wrote in an email Monday night. "The NRF CANNOT make an official alert to stay out of the water."

BIG disappointment..
Posted by Reviewer2559883 on Sep 04, 2012
I was really looking forward to try this mascara. But I was really disappointed. The mascara is very dry, and it flakes easily, leaving you with actually more mascara under the eyes there actually are on your lashes. The lashes do look bigger and longer at first, but it doesnt help when all you got left after a few hours is big panda eyes... The mascara is also too dry... giving you easily dry flaky sticky spider lashes:-/
Posted by 4660938632304374517 on Feb 16, 2016
No effect, stings like crazy. Hopefully Iherb starts carrying 100% pure mascara (normal one without maracuja).
Posted by Reviewer1780343 on Mar 09, 2013
Vaya decepción que me he llevado con esta mascara!!!! En mi no funciona esta mascara, resulta que he visto un monton de reviews de bloguers y buena puntacion aqui en iherb, pero a mi me funciona como una mascara normal y no me aporta NADA de volumen que es el motivo por lo que la compre. Le doy dos estrellas porque se supone que es mas natural que otras mascaras.
Not exactly what I was looking for
Posted by 4726074352875237835 on Apr 10, 2013
I was eager to try an organic product and I was swayed by the reviews that this mascara would volumize. It did in fact make my eyelashes more plump, but unfortunately it smudged WAY too much for my lifestyle. Between constantly having to wipe mascara away from under my eyes and then it basically not lasting throughout the day, I realized this product was not for me.
Posted by 5178764951001321524 on Jun 23, 2013
Tenía muy buenas referencias, pero a mi me ha decepcionado esta máscara de pestañas, deja grumos y difícil de aplicar sin manchar el párpado
I've had better
Posted by 5342211219462169091 on Oct 09, 2013
It does smudge a bit on my upper eyelid, where the eyelashes touch the lid. It doesn't smudge under eyes though. It comes off with water and it doesn't irritate eyes. I hoped it wouldn't smudge at all, so that brings the points down. It's wearable with rain as well.
My thoughts on this are:
Posted by 4856485124243577408 on Dec 02, 2013
a very black and wet mascara. Looks great on lashes. Needs to be applied by coat and dried in between for best results- blinking motion instead of zigzag motion also works best. Gives lots of volume and good length,the extreme black opens up your eyes and no clumping. Would not recommend for summer when sweating or winter when raining- Smudges Very easily, takes long time to dry and not good for bottom lashes. Easy to remove with water, has a very herbal smell and nice, thick wand which is what I really like. Probably would not repurchase this because there are better mascaras, but the price is a winner.
Wouldn't buy again.
Posted by imadoxaholic on Feb 27, 2014
Brush is very odd (rubber?) and large. The entire wand has a very awkward design. I have to apply at least three coats to see any real difference in my lashes. Definitely not happy with it.
me esperaba otra cosa
Posted by 4791402388995965736 on Aug 01, 2014
me esperaba otra cosa de esta mascara, no se si sera por mis pestañas (rectas y de largura media), pero no da volumen ni largura y tarda años en secarse
No me gusta mucho
Posted by 4747186735140795553 on Sep 03, 2014
No tiene un efecto excesivo de curvado o de alargado. Es muy líquida con lo que cuesta usarla sin mancharse, aunque eso se soluciona con el tiempo, porque se va espesando. No me dura todo el día, cuando me desmaquillo por la noche el algodón sale casi limpio.

Rate this Review: Kinect: Star Wars
Swinging your imaginary lightsaber and having the game make the sound effects instead of yourself.
Feeling like someone turned off your Force powers when the Kinect's input lags.
Watching Lando act out a bad scene from You Got Served.
When Microsoft Studios released the first teaser trailer for
Kinect: Star Wars
at E3 in 2010 two thoughts came to mind. The first being "Finally an excuse to wiggle around like a Jedi in front of my TV" because let's be honest, most of us were doing that already whenever we watched the movies anyway. Sadly this excitement came to an abrupt halt as my cynicism kicked in moments later and I thought "The Kinect is not ready for this."
However, it has been a year and a half since then and in gaming years that is quite a bit of development time.
Now like most games that have been designed around the Kinect,
Kinect: Star Wars
is mostly a collection of mini-games. The game's campaign is called Dark Side Rising and is where you'll spend most of your time hacking and slashing with your lightsaber and force pushing droids and poorly trained stormtroopers. Dark Side Rising is the game's narrative, single player mode where you become a blooming padawan and play through major events that begin during the Clone Wars.
Jedi Destiny: Dark Side Rising is the games RPG mode that places the player in the shoes of a young Jedi.
Dark Side Rising is equal parts fun and frustrating. The voice acting is sub-par and the narrative structure is choppy at best. I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a goofy grin plastered on my face as I mowed down wave after wave after wave of battle droids, but the pace of the game isn't controlled by the player due. You've traded your controller for rails. Once the wonder and magic of my childhood faded I found the campaign very repetitive, even the epic lightsaber battles began to feel rehearsed. Simply put, the mechanics inhibited the immersion.
The Duels of Fate mini-game allows you to engage in one on one duels similar to the ones you encounter through out the campaign. The gameplay is slow and seems particularly susceptible to sluggish input, which only serves to drag things on even longer.
Rancor's Rampage places you in direct control of a Rancor and, well, rampage about. I'll admit I enjoyed this mini-game more than I probably should. It's Star Wars meets Godzilla as you run rampant through Mos Eisley destroying everything that's in your way. Now the controls here are a little harder than the game's other modes so if you find yourself in a particularly aggressive rampage you can tucker yourself out. Remember the golden rule to city wide destruction: pace yourself.
Podracing. I had flashbacks to being eleven when I discovered the N64 title
Star Wars Episode I: Racer
. Podracing delivers if nothing else and can either be played in a story mode, where you progress as an up and coming podracer, or simply dive right into individual races. There was very little input lag in this mini-game, possibly because of the simplicity of actions, though there are still draw-backs. Holding your arms straight out in front of you is surprisingly exhausting and in some of the longer races it becomes a sheer test of stamina. Ultimately, it fails to compare to
Star Wars Episode I: Racer
and makes me wish they would take what they have and develop a full game. It is still a lot of fun and who knows you might come out with rippling shoulder muscles.
Galactic Dance Battle is the game's knock off
Dance Central
mode. Now, and I know I was in the minority here, but this was one of the aspects of the game I was looking forward to the most. Bear in mind, I'm a wiggler. I avidly play Just Dance because I have no shame and honestly it's fun to me, because I have zero dancing talent and wouldn't be able to publicly do so if these games never came to fruition. The problem is that it's nothing like the current dancing games on the market. You can literally stand still and still rack up points: which ruins it. On top of that, they've created ridiculous stories filled with even more ridiculous dialogue that puts our beloved heroes in an almost embarrassing situation.
It's not that I can't believe Han and Lando would have a game of one-upmanship on the dance floor, but they certainly wouldn't do it in the place where Han was frozen in carbonite and last I checked there wasn't a DJ's booth there in the movies, though maybe I missed that in one of the re-releases. If they wanted to include this as an aspect of the game they needed to finish the product and cut out all the unnecessary dialogue. Don't sell us on the situation because it's one fans won't buy and you're doing a disservice to the characters, the fans and yourselves.
Now the target audience is pre-teens. All the trailers show pre-teens as the players, the game has a pegi rating of age 12 and up and there's even a kid on the front of the box. All of the dialogue and stories are geared towards a ten year old kid that simply wants to live out his fantasies. The controls are relatively simple and the game is forgiving to the point that for the average gamer it provides no challenge aside from having the courage to pop and lock it in front of your friends. If you're into mature games and you sneer and show nothing but disdain at what the
Clone Wars
television series means for the franchise then be prepared for this title to rub you the wrong way. Does this mean it's not fun for adult gamers? Of course not, but it's only as fun as you're willing to be a kid and simply enjoy it for what it is.
All things considered
Kinect: Star Wars
is fun even if for just a little while but it is a Kinect game through and through.
Kinect: Star Wars
is just another collection of mini-games meant for casual, social gaming. I enjoyed myself, not because of the design or gameplay, but because it was Star Wars and for every ounce of enjoyment I got out of this title there was equal amount wondering what this game could have been.
Until developers actually begin to challenge themselves on finding unique ways to implement the Kinect, rather than limiting themselves to what can currently be done, then all Kinect games will ultimately be the same game experience.
This game was obtained via retail store and reviewed on the
Xbox 360
. Approximately
6 hours of play
was devoted to single-player mode.
Received a pegi rating of ages 12 and up which can be reviewed on their
. Aside from the risque of Leia's slave outfit in the Galactic Dance Battle the game is as clean as the
Clone Wars
television show.
Deaf and Hard of Hearing:
Dialogue can be subtitled and tutorial tips appear through out the various modes so it's considerate of those with hearing issues.

With all the injuries to the outfield and to our bullpen, along with some under performing bullpen arms, some changes need to be made...My predictions
JBJ(40-man) will be in CF tonight. With Ells AND Vic (IVC) out, we cant see another OF like we did last night. Id put money on it.
De La Torre threw 50 pitches in 1.2 IP and will not be available for a day or 2. Wilson has also been getting hit very hard lately so its time for a couple new arms.
Drake Britton should be called up (40-man) to replace LHP Andrew Miller. LHH were hitting .187/.243/.308 off of him. RDLR (also on 40-man) is holding RHH to a .213/.292/.380 line and LHH to a .198/.328/.307 line.
Guys like Pedro Beato(40-man), Brandon Workman(not on 40), Brock Huntzinger(not on 40) and Anthony Carter(not on 40)are also possibilities.
You can count on Ben C to exhaust any possible internal option before taking the big risk of looking into a trade for a middle reliever.
Jonathan Diaz cleared waivers and was sent to AAA, so there is another spot open on the 40-man. Last I checked, there were 38 or 39 right now which leaves them some breathing room to add a couple guys who are not already on it.

I'm fairly new to javascript and I'm having a tough time putting a DwtListView on a shell in an HTML tag. If someone could explain the steps involved, or perhaps answer the following questions I'd be eternally grateful.
I'm currently playing with the dataViewer example. DvController makes a shell and a tabView and manages the layouts. Where is the table being added to the tabView?
In the following snippet:
DvListView is "extending" DwtListView, correct? What's the correct terminology for this technique? Can any function be extended/overridden? Where is call() defined?Code:function DvListView(parent, attrs, app) { ... DwtListView.call(this, parent, "DwtListView", null, headerList, true); ... } DvListView.prototype = new DwtListView; DvListView.prototype.constructor = DvListView; DvListView.prototype.toString = function() { return "DvListView"; }
I'm currently debugging with alerts and the javascript console. Can anyone reccomend an editor/debugger that makes life with Zimbra's code base easier?
Thanks. This seems to be a fairly serious forum and I won't clutter it with syntax questions and the like, but for all the code I've read and been able to follow I can't get a "hello world" table together

Suddenly...I have email addresses in my Zimbra desktop contact folder when I re-open Zimbra (imported hours ago but never showed up)...seems damn strange but good news at least. I am going through them to check 'em out and suddenly...they are all gone. Nowhere to be found...simply disappeared!
So unless I am experiencing something very abnormal, why fuss with this?
Or, can someone help me correct what I might be doing wrong?

Directional Coupler
Application ID: 14593
Two embedded optical waveguides in close proximity form a directional coupler. The cladding material is GaAs and the core material is ion-implanted GaAs. The waveguide is excited by the two first supermodes of the waveguide structure - the symmetric and antisymmetric modes. Two numeric ports are used on both the exciting boundary and the absorbing boundary, to define the two modes. A boundary mode analysis study sequence is set up, with four boundary mode analyses and a final frequency-domain study. The model demonstrates coupling from one of the waveguides to the other waveguide.
