Center Grove High School boys golf coach Jim Williams has known for nearly a week the obvious feel-good storyline.
The one about how the seventh-ranked Trojans not only can claim the program's first state championship but actually can accomplish the feat on Johnson County soil.
Today and Wednesday mark the end of The Legends Golf Club's 14-year run as host for both the IHSAA boys and girls state finals.
It's been quite the journey. Ten different schools on the boys side crowned in the spring, a parity lacking when it came to the girls annual showcase — three programs combining to win 10 of the 14 titles — in the fall.
"This is the only place I've ever known from a coaching standpoint," said Williams, the Center Grove girls golf coach who is in his first season coaching the boys. "(The Legends) is a special place. It's a place where for people wanting to follow us, it's accessible to them.
"A home-course advantage for us, to some degree."
Beginning this fall, the girls and boys finals will be hosted through the 2018-19 school year by Prairie View Golf Course in Carmel, a Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed layout opened in 1997.
Despite the venue change, Ted Bishop, The Legends' general manager and PGA director of golf, has expressed to the IHSAA his desire to have the course remain part of future girls and boys tournaments as either a sectional or regional host.
"We did it for a lot of years and ran a lot of tournaments. To the credit of the IHSAA, to the credit of Indiana Golf and to the credit of the Legends I think we've made this the best state golf tournament in the nation," Bishop said. "We started on time, and we finished on time.
"Prairie View will be a great venue for the kids. They'll be entering into a new era."
First, The Legends plans to go out swinging — literally — as 15 boys teams and assorted individual qualifiers converge this morning on the Franklin facility.
Center Grove, the team with the fewest miles to cover, qualified with a runner-up finish at the Providence Regional, the Trojans' score of 301 barely off the pace set by Columbus North (298).
Junior Christopher Heck carded a 35-36—71 to place second individually. Center Grove's No. 1 player, Austin Crowder, was next with a 35-41—76, while fellow juniors Zack Carrabine and Hayden Martin both made it around Champions Pointe Golf Club in Henryville in 77 shots.
Wes Kennell, the team's lone senior, posted a 39-44—83.
The week before the Trojans shot a team score of 293 to win the Southport Sectional at Heartland Crossing in Camby, Carrabine and Martin leading the way with 71s.
Now it's a matter of taking advantage of the familiarity provided.
Heck's family have been members at The Legends for about eight years. His Center Grove teammates also know the layout well, having played numerous rounds there over the years.
"I think it really helps us. I just feel really comfortable out here," Heck said. "The nerves won't be as much as if I was playing a course I wasn't as familiar with."
Crowder views the next two days as a golden opportunity for the Trojans to prove a notch or two above their state ranking.
"We sort of have mixed feelings about the rankings. At the end of the regular season we felt we should have been ranked a little higher than No. 7," Crowder said. "We're pretty familiar with the course, and from a team standpoint I think it fits our games. I just like the course.
"You have to think your way around it. We know we're going to be a strong team next year, also, but this is The Legends. We think we can do it this year."
Williams, who took over not long after completing what was his eighth season in charge of the Center Grove girls program, concurs.
"When the position opened up, it seemed like nothing was happening. My boy (Jackson) was on the team last year, and you could see the potential they had," said Williams, reflecting on the reason he stepped forward to pull golf's version of double-duty.
Jackson Williams is now a sophomore, part of Center Grove's next wave of talented young players that includes sophomore Tyler Rankel and freshman Ethan Shepherd.
"I'm not surprised this team is doing what it's doing. Even back in February you could see this group was hungry," coach Williams said. "The thing to me that's so impressive is how much they love to play. You can do a lot with kids who are willing to work."

Sooo, what's the plan? Are we to be punished for our strike and your mismanagement?
It's called $100 oil. The "Barbie Dreamjets" days are numbered. Delta passengers flown by Delta employees!
... but arent the same aircraft that were being flown by DAL owned Comair now being flown by scab Gojets pilots ? How is that better ?
Someone was suggesting this was all orchestrated by Briner who went to Gojets. DAL sent him Comairs jets, and the plan is to open a Gojet CVG base and get the ex-Comair pilots on the cheap.Would DAL flush a whole company to do that?
In a way, ... but all DAL cares about is flying cheap, and that isnt Comair anymore.Sad, ... you can always fly cheaper if you're willing to compromise safety, have less experienced crews , ... etc
Friday morning Delta will announce Comair is shutting down in 60 days. That's it. The regional Delta paid almost 2 billion for is going away. That's a big write off, coming on the heels of yesterday's half billion dollar fuel hedging fiasco, wow. Nicely done Delta. Add that to Leo Mullin's 2.5 billion stock buyback 15 years ago, a buyback followed by that stock going to zero after the bankruptcy...... the three stooges are running this place. No womder the stock is single digits. Morons.

Hello everyone. I first wanted to say this forum has been very helpful for me so far.
I currently own a http://www.k2bike.com/products/biked...ear=2006&ID=66 and I love it. Its very comfortable to ride. I try to ride 5 miles each day and 10 miles on the weekends right now. The problem is I want something thats more efficient but will still allow me to ride on trails around town. Currently I mostly ride on sidewalks, streets that have at least a 3 foot wide shoulder (I dont trust drivers), and established trails. Im looking at getting a Cyclocross bike because I think it would be perfect for what I do. Im 5 foot 4 at 190- pounds (the is because Im losing weight!) and I want to spend around $1,000 for a decent cyclocross bike that I will never compete with. Im in Austin Texas and Ive been to a few stores so I know whats in town and I would like to actually look and feel at something before buying it blindly. Below is the selection some stores around me have. I would probably replace the tires with ones that are not knobby and I really like the 2nd set of brakes on the top of the handlebar but Im sure I can add that on later. Out of the list below what would you choose and why or would you recommend buying one online without actually touching it to see how I like it?

Chain measurement issues here
In the past I have tried in vain to check my chain wear with wood rulers and metal tape measures but my poor old eyes and crap knees make it difficult for me to get close enough or see well enough to do me much good.
I finally broke down and purchased a chain measurement tool and even got a lesson from the LBS in its proper use. http://www.bikeparts.com/search_resu...p?ID=BPC331423
I also have recently acquired 15" a metal ruler that I can actually see well enough to measure the chain with.
Here's my issue....the tool shows me different results than the ruler does and to varying degrees depending on the bike. On my EZ Sport the tool says the chain is at 100% stretch while the ruler measures the pins at 0% stretch. On my Tour Easy the tool says 60% stretched and the ruler 0% stretch and my Volae the tool says 50% stretched and the ruler 0% stretch.
What am I missing? Are the rollers wearing on these chains showing stretch with the tool yet the holes in the side plates and the pins aren't worn yet giving me passing results with the ruler? Does any of this make sense? I believe that I'm tensioning the chain the same regardless of my measuring method so I'm confused by the variability.

How many of you guys use water bottles besides plastic? I'm sure some of you have heard of the dangers of bisphenol-A leeching in plastic and Nalgenes. What brands do you use, what material (stainless, alu., et al.), and are you happy with it?
How many of you guys use water bottles besides plastic? I'm sure some of you have heard of the dangers of bisphenol-A leeching in plastic and Nalgenes. What brands do you use, what material (stainless, alu., et al.), and are you happy with it?
I've got three SIGG bottles in different shapes and sizes that I've been using regularly for a few years now. They get funky dents when you drop them, but they're all still going strong. They are easy to clean, don't hold odours, and leave water tasting good. I use them for wine as well for picnics etc. and just a simple rinse and the wine taste / smell is gone. They are not steel (aluminum) but the coating inside the bottles are still in good shape. I've also used Klean Kanteen, which produce steel bottles. The model I had was wide mouthed and hard to drink from, and the bottle started to rust on the inside after just a few months.
I use the SIGG bottles around the house, while on the trainer, while out and about, when traveling and at school.
These bottles are a bit of a pain on the bike however. I use Velo-Orange cages and while the bottle fits fine, the metal on metal buzz while riding drives me crazy. I've tried to dampen the sound with electrical tape and it doesn't really work all that well. Perhaps plastic cages would solve this, but I can't be bothered at the moment. As well, these bottles aren't cheap, and I've had one eject from a faulty cage and get flattened by a car. That sucked.
So, on the bike I use the Camelback bottle which is apparently BPA free. No buzz and no big deal if the bottle dies, either.
Hmmm ... I just got done with a 200 mile ride with 10,000 other cyclists. Several places along the course included road bumps, followed by water bottle graveyards. I saw MANY plastic water bottles get run over by bikers. but nobody went down. The bottles squished. Now, had those bottles been made of steel/aluminum I'm guessing there would have been a lot of skin donated to the pavement. Something to think about.
It might be my imagination but I am pretty sure I can taste motor oil on water that has been on my bike for a while. Does the oil from the road leech through it too?
Good Night Chesty, Wherever You Are
Did he quit because he was annoyed with the way he was treated after getting hurt, or did he quit because of his injuries?
Injuries and getting burned out with putting in lots of effort only to have it go down the drain.
The only truly inert substance is certain kinds of ceramic. Glass, plastic, metals, they will all react with liquids in some way. In the sciences, almost every plastic bottle we use is made by Nalgene - if they're safe enough to use in extremely sensitive applications, they're safe enough to drink out of. You're going to die, whether it's with 0.002% or 0.003% of a substance in your system, doesn't make much difference. I say worry less and drink more.
But there's more and more evidence suggesting that Bisphenol-A is not perfectly safe. It's a chemical that mimics estrogen and which (when used for generations and generations) can lead to reproductive problems and other issues.
The FDA still holds on to its verdict that it's safe, but there's more and more evidence suggesting that one better take not take that risk.
Besides, I'm not really into the taste of warm plasticky water.
A friend of mine is an employee of the FDA. He said that no official word has been released, but what's going around his office after recent tests is a couple things (just in the interest of full disclosure, he works in the section that tests medications, not the section that tests things like this)...
- Colored thick plastic rigid bottles (think Nalgene) are the ones that leach BPA
- Bottles with water/other liquid in them exposed to very high temperatures for extended periods of time are the only ones that leached BPA
I was asking him about it since I had heard the same things as everyone else. He said they are discovering that there is very little danger from bottles that are flexible like bike water bottles or the ones that you buy water in at the gas station.
I don't claim to be an expert of course, so I'm just passing on what he told me.
FWIW, I work in the healthcare manufacturing industry. I hate whenever a new scare like this comes along, because their are alot of Americans who are hypochondriacs and out to make a fast buck. The facts surrounding what the actual problem is usually go ignored.
Like in this case, BPA is found in some plastics and can leach out of the plastic when the fluid in the container is heated.
All plastic containers are bad.
FWIW, if you're looking for another chemical to avoid, look up information regarding DEHP and it's link to sterility. And has been banned by the EU and the state of Californina for use in medical feeding products. The EU is light years ahead of the FDA IMO. Not really the FDA's fault, they're underfunded and understaffed.
Case in point - A couple of years ago, a competitor of ours sold a pre-filled syringe that contained contaminated heparine (a blood thinner). Our products were tested and found to be clean. In order to give the FDA peace of mind, we agreed to voluntarily recall all of our existing syringes, as did the other manufacturers who weren't involved. That way everyone was starting from square one.
There wasn't one documented case of ANYONE getting sick from our product. But, we did send letters to all of our distributors at one point explaining the fact that this while this was a voluntary recall, it was mandatory. We also included a list of the symptoms that people who used the other companies contaminated heparin had suffered.
It was sickening how many scammers and hypochondriacs still tried to complain that they had become ill using our heparin. Which cost us a ton of money to investigate and not one claim was found to be valid by anyone, including the FDA.
I drink tap water out of used Gatorade bottles. No cancer thus far.
^ you shouldn't re-use disposable drink containers, can't sterilize 'em right. You could get sick from a virus/bacteria/something or other.
I have an evil plastic drink bottle for my bike. Probably has a buncha chemicals in it. I figure the cager exhaust I suck in when I ride is maybe just a bit worse, eh?
I use Zefal Magnum bottles. They're old, so I'm sure they're full of all sorts of horrid things.

I have one klean kanteen and a couple of the newer Nalgene BPA-free bottles. I have some cheaper bottles that causes the water to taste like plastic. I avoid these like the plague and only use bottles that give me no funny taste. So far so good with the newer nalgene.
Thanks for the info everyone. I'll stop worrying about possible BPA, but I'd still like to avoid the plasticky taste that develops when my waters been sitting in the bottle in the hot sun over a few hours on a ride, so I'm going to continue to search for something that doesn't do that like my team water bottles are. I got a Klean Kanteen but the steel-on-steel noise is no fun so I'm going to see about wrapping it in cloth tape or stickers. One nice thing about it though is that it being slightly longer than the average plastic bottle makes it extremely easy to take out / put back in the bottle cage. Those Soma Polypropylene water bottles could work...
I use insulated bottles myself (currently Camelbak with the "chill jacket") but I've also used Polar bottles. I have not had either of them develop a plastic taste even with long rides in very hot temps.

Oklahoma basketball: Summer trip turned around Isaiah Cousins' season
NORMAN — Nearly halfway through the college basketball season, it seems a bit of a stretch to point back to the preseason as the catalyst for a recent turnaround.
But still, Oklahoma sophomore guard Isaiah Cousins looks back at the summer trip to France and Belgium as the turning point in sparking his offensive improvement.
On that trip, Cousins was asked to take up more of the scoring load with Buddy Hield held out with an injury.
More recently, Cousins has had to serve as the team's backup point guard with the injury to Je'lon Hornbeak.
He's handled both roles well and used both Hield's absence in Europe and Hornbeak's absence recently to lift his game.
Going into Wednesday's home game against Kansas (6 p.m., ESPN2), Cousins has turned in his eight best scoring performances as a Sooner in his last 11 games.
He also showed improvement at the point when he was needed there.
"When we went to France, that was a new year for me," Cousins said. "It's different. I have a different role on this year's team and that's to score."
Hornbeak returned for Saturday's win at Texas, but Cousins is likely to still see time at the point over the next few weeks as Hornbeak works his way back into shape.
Cousins' first-half point guard play against the Longhorns, with starter Jordan Woodard out with foul trouble and the Sooners struggling from the field early, helped lift the Sooners to a halftime lead.
So although Sooners coach Lon Kruger hoped to not use Cousins at the point this season when he could help it, Cousins embraced the role.
"I just looked at it as a good opportunity for me to mature as a player," Cousins said.
That's also how he's looked at his ejection late in the win over the Longhorns for a second technical foul.
"That was hard because it could've cost us the game," Cousins said. "That's the tough part."
Perhaps the player who was most impressed with Cousins' play was Hornbeak.
"Once they told him I would pretty much be out for a little while, he knew what he had to do and he did it and I thought he did a heck of a job doing it," Hornbeak said. "Now, he's just playing comfortably, freely.
"It's just confidence. He knows his spots very well, he knows when to shoot and when to pass it. He's really worked on his shots and getting to those spots that he's seen on film and just pulling up."

Genealogical Materials
The Portal to Texas History emphasizes access to historical sources. With materials such as digital reproductions of city directories, historical society journals, genealogical society quarterlies, newspapers, maps, letters, documents, artifacts, and more, family history researchers can search for specific information about ancestors or explore collections that provide historical background and depth with facts about everyday life in the past. This guide suggests search strategies useful for genealogists and family historians and includes a brief list of materials contained in the Portal for getting started with your research.

Finding Information
Before you begin, please note that the Portal is not the same as a database of records or historical materials indexed specifically for genealogical research. For example, there is no surname field that can be directly searched, so using the Portal to search for a specific name may not yield the results you expect. However, the Portal offers a variety of methods for navigating the contents of the various collections, as well as helpful sorting options for evaluating the items in your result lists.
There are two basic navigations for discovering information: Explore and Search. Explore can be a good way to limit items to Texas county, subject, date, item type, contributing partner, and specific collection. Likewise, by starting with a broad search using the Basic Search function, you can get a good idea of the diversity of items in the Portal. Once you obtain a list of search results, you can delve into documents, photographs, artifacts, maps, or other items of genealogical and historical interest, and sort them by title, creator, date created, or date added to the Portal.
Getting Started
Use the Explore navigation or Basic Search to investigate the following selected collections in the Portal to help you begin your research. Please note that there are many other collections containing additional items of interest to family history researchers, and that this is only a sample to get you started.

Edgar M. Lazarus, Portland architect and member of the Vista House Association, was selected to design Vista House in 1915. Vista House is an example of German "Art Nouveau" architecture. Native Italian craftsmen built retaining walls and bridges for the Columbia River Highway and laid the rockwork surrounding Vista House.
Vista House is approximately 44 feet in diameter and 55 feet high. The floors and stairs in the rotunda and the wainscoting in the lower level are Tokeen Alaskan marble. Most of the interior of the rotunda is light cream and pink Kasota limestone (marble), including the hand-carved drinking fountains. The inside of the dome and its supporting ribs were painted to simulate the marble and bronze originally planned for the structure. The exterior is faced with light gray sandstone.
The upper windows are greenish opalized glass, like the original. The rotunda windows are also greenish opalized glass with clear glass in the viewing areas.
The roof was originally surfaced with matte-glazed green tiles. The roof was covered with a copper crown for more than 50 years. During the 2002 exterior restoration, a new glazed green tile roof was installed over a protective dome membrane.
Poems on the Vista House Pillars Located in the Rotunda
"So prodigal has nature
been with us;
so lavishly
has she spread her feasts
at our banquet table.
We have been apt to feel
that these glories
would be never ending."
Governor Olcott's
1921 message to the legislature
"Discovery is an adventure.
There is an eagerness,
touched at times
with tenderness as one moves
into the unknown.
Walking the wilderness is
indeed like living.
The horizon drops away,
bringing new sights, sounds
and smells from the earth."
William O. Douglas (1898-1980)
"We live within
a heritage
beyond our computation.
Will we tilt the cup
until it runs dry
or build for
a day
beyond our day?"
Samuel Boardman
Quote from
Chester H. Armstrong's
1965 book
History of the Oregon State Parks
"We call upon the mountains,
the Cascades and the Olympics,
the high green valleys
and meadows filled with wildflowers,
the snows that never melt,
the summits of intense silence,
and we ask that they
Teach us, and show us the Way.
We call upon the forests,
the great trees reaching
strongly to the sky
with earth in their roots
and the heaven in their branches,
the fir and the pine and the cedar,
and we ask them to
Teach us, and show us the Way."

Most people who go through what Maslow Magnotti experienced are dead.
The Central Washington University student crashed his motorcycle at 70 mph on Interstate 90 near Snoqualmie last month, receiving fractures to both arms and one leg. He's now on the mend, but his body is covered with cuts and stitches from surgery.
He had bought the bike — his first — that same day. "I'm lucky to be alive," Magnotti, 21, said from his bed at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle a few days after the accident.
But he also said he had learned something: "If I were to take a motorcycle safety course, I wouldn't have crashed that day."

Magnotti hadn't obtained a required state motorcycle endorsement on his driver's license, which riders get only after they demonstrate they know how to ride. One-third of the 425 motorcyclists involved in fatal crashes on Washington roads between 1993 and 2003 also didn't have endorsements, according to a state report.
Now the state, in a bid to curb climbing motorcycle fatality numbers, is moving to beef up its motorcycle-safety efforts. A new law that will take effect July 22 allows law-enforcement officers to impound the motorcycles of riders they stop who don't have the endorsement.
Stepped-up enforcement and expanded safety programs also may be in the works.
State Department of Licensing's motorcycle page : www.dol.wa.gov/driverslicense/motorcycles.html (Includes information on endorsements and safety classes.)
www.endorseyoursport.com (Also includes the state Motorcycle Rider Safety Task Force 2006 report.)
"The intent is to increase rider education," said Steve Stewart, program manager for the Motorcycle Safety Program at the state Department of Licensing. "Let's face it: Motorcycles are inherently dangerous. Maybe that's part of their appeal."
Bike ownership grows
The number of motorcycles registered in Washington increased more than 70 percent between 1997 and 2005 — from 94,000 to 163,000. There has been a big jump in middle-aged riders, who may finally have enough disposable income to buy the bike they've coveted since they were kids, said Monty Lish, motorcycle-safety program manager with the nonprofit Evergreen Safety Council.
Rising gas prices also figure into the surge. "We're getting more students saying they can get 60 miles a gallon on a motorcycle while they get 20 or 30 in a car," Lish added.
But state motorcycle fatalities have increased even faster than motorcycle registrations. They nearly tripled between 1997 and 2006, from 28 to a record 82 last year.
Two ways to get a motorcycle endorsement
1. Pass a Department of Licensing written test, which allows a rider to get an instruction permit. Then pass a riding test.
2. Complete an approved course at one of 25 motorcycle training schools in the state. Take the completion card to any driver-licensing office within 180 days; the written and riding tests will be waived and the endorsement issued.
Information on the courses, including costs and schedules, is available at licensing offices and on the Internet at the Web sites listed above. Some courses, subsidized by the state, cost $100, which will rise to $125 after July 22. Unsubsidized classes charge about $200 but may not have waiting lists like the subsidized courses often do.
Source: Washington Department of Licensing
The state's new motorcycle-safety measures emerged from a 16-member motorcycle-safety task force established in 2005. It included representatives of the Washington State Patrol, the Department of Licensing, the motorcycle industry and user groups.
In a report issued last June, the group found that most fatal accidents occurred during the day, in dry weather.
More than 80 percent took place between April and September, prime riding weather.
Half involved just one motorcycle and no other vehicles.
And the most common causes were inability to stay in the lane of travel, speeding, alcohol and inattention. The task-force report also estimated that 30,000 drivers are riding motorcycles in the state without endorsements.
The group set a goal of reducing motorcycle fatalities by 10 each year. Its recommendations included improving rider education, clarifying laws, running a public-awareness campaign and stepping up enforcement.
Not as easy as it seemed
Magnotti, now home from the hospital, said he didn't realize how dangerous riding can be.
He said he bought a motorcycle because he wanted to start traveling more between his Ellensburg home and Seattle, where his girlfriend lives, while saving money on gas.
He found a bike in Everett. He and his girlfriend drove there to buy it May 14. "My original intention was to go to a big parking area and ride it around a lot," said Magnotti, who had ridden motorcycles before but never owned one.
But by the time the sale closed it was getting late, and Magnotti didn't want to ride home in the dark.
Besides, he thought he knew what he was doing.
"When I drove it, it came natural to me," he said. "I thought, 'Wow!' At 40, it felt like I was going 20. I thought this was pretty easy to ride."
He headed east on I-90, with his girlfriend following in their car.
Magnotti was going about 70 in the left lane near Snoqualmie when "a sharp right-hand turn came, so I leaned," he said.
"And it turned a little bit, but it didn't turn enough. I tried to lean more and it didn't quite turn enough. I was almost off the left side. When I got really close to the grade, I tried to brake really slowly. Either the bike wobbled, or I hit a storm drain, or something.
"I knew it was going over. I tried to lay it down, with the bike sliding in front of me."
Magnotti's motorcycle hit a tree, the State Patrol reported. Magnotti was thrown off with enough force that he was knocked out of both shoes. His girlfriend arrived in time to see pieces of motorcycle flying into the air.
Magnotti thinks a heavy jacket and helmet that he bought with the bike saved his life. He admits his inexperience caused the crash.
"The bike seemed like it was easy to ride," he said, "but at a sharp curve at 65, 70, it wasn't so easy."
Impound threat coming
Magnotti said he wasn't aware of the requirement for a motorcycle endorsement.
The new law allowing officers to impound the bikes of riders without endorsements was one of the task force's recommendations. The Legislature approved it in April.
Under the old law, a rider who was stopped and found not to have an endorsement probably would have received a $112 ticket and been allowed to drive away, said Trooper Jeff Merrill, State Patrol public-information officer.
Just the threat of impoundment could push more riders to comply with the endorsement requirement, he added: "I don't think there's anything more sacred than impounding someone's motorcycle."
Another new law scheduled to take effect in July increases the cost of a state-subsidized motorcycle-safety education class from $100 to $125, to provide funding to expand the program. One goal of the new laws is to increase the number of riders going through training from 12,000 students a year now to 30,000 by 2010.
The State Patrol also is looking at increased enforcement efforts, Merrill said.

What Do I Need For the Party?
Basic party supplies include themed partyware, such as plates, napkins, cups, and cutlery, as well as a tablecloth, streamers, and balloons.
You can stick with the basics, or add other items to fit your theme. For example, for a Cinderella Party, you may also want to consider renting or purchasing the following:
- A Movie, such as the classic, Cinderella (1950, Rated G), or a more modern take, Ever After (1998, Rated PG-13)
- Ball Gowns and Tiaras for Dress-up
- Glass Slippers
- Faux jewels
- A Princess Pinata
To help you with your shopping, take a look at our Suggested Party Supply List. You may not need everything on the list, but you can use it as a guide. For additional party planning tips, our Party Planning 101 Guide includes cake ideas, party etiquette tips, a printable guest list, and more.
Invitations are one of the most important aspects of a party because they give the first impression of your party to your guests. If you have the time to make your own, here are a few ideas to consider:
- Fold cardstock in half to create a top-fold card and place a sticker or cut-out of a horse and carriage on the bottom. Write "Princess [child's name] Invites You…" above it and all the party details inside.
- Cut the shape of a glass slipper out of silver cardstock. On the front, write "Cinderella has lost her glass slipper! Come to [child's name]'s birthday party and help her find it!" Write the party details on the back. When the guests arrive at the party, tell them that Cinderella found her slipper and hand them a glass slipper filled with candy!
- Punch a hole in the corner of a card-style invitation and attach it to a princess tiara your guests can wear to the party.
- Cut the shape of a castle out of pink cardstock and add glitter around the turrets and doorways. Add stickers of blue birds flying around the castle, mice scurrying on the ground, and other animals that help Cinderella in the story. Write your party details on the back.
- Include creative wording for your party details, such as:Bibbity Bobbity Boo!

Decorating & Food Ideas
You can make your child's Cinderella birthday party really come to life through your decorations!
- Use pastel colors for your traditional party decorations such as streamers and balloons. Make groups of three to five balloons to place around the party area.
- Add Mylar balloons to some of your balloon groups.
- Sprinkle glitter or star confetti on windowsills and tabletops, then set out tiaras and faux or candy jewels.
- Hang a banner above the entrance to the party area that reads "Princess [child's name]'s Birthday Ball". Take a look at our personalized banners and let us do the work for you!
- Cut a castle out of a large sheet of light blue or pink butcher paper. Decorate it with glitter glue, ribbon, lace, and stickers, and tack it to one wall of the party area. (This will make a great backdrop for pictures!)
- Hang cut-outs of blue birds from the ceiling to represent the birds who helped Cinderella with her dress.
- Play the Cinderella soundtrack as background music.
- Print out Cinderella movie stills, frame them, and either hang them on the walls of the party area or set them up on the tables.
- Call your local video store or movie theater and see if they have any old Cinderella posters you could have or purchase.
- Hang a princess pinata in the party area that can be used as a decoration before the activity begins. Remember, you can transform any pinata into a pull-string with these easy instructions.
Carry your party theme all the way through to the food! For a Cinderella Party, consider the following ideas:
- Make an appetizer in the shape of Cinderella's horse and carriage! Hollow out a loaf of bread and fill it with your favorite dip. Place two cucumber slices on each side for the carriage wheels. Set up two or more plastic toy horses in front of the "carriage" and connect them with red licorice string.
- Make homemade pretzels in the shape of stars. Sprinkle them with strawberry syrup or cinnamon and sugar after baking.
- Make linzer heart cookies and petit fours as elegant snacks for all the beauties at the party. Serve them with sparkling cider for an extra-special treat.
- Make edible Fairy Godmother Wands! Use a cookie cutter to cut star or heart shapes out of sugar cookies and rice cereal treats. Before the goodies cool and harden, insert a long pretzel rod into one end. Bibbity, bobbity, boo – they're done!
- Individual cupcakes can sometimes be more manageable than a full cake. For Cinderella cupcakes, frost them in pink or blue frosting and top them with a glass slipper. Colored sugar adds the final touch.
- If you would like to serve cake, try creating a castle cake! Bake two 8″ square cakes, and stack them with frosting between the two layers. Add four ice cream cones upside down by the four corners of the cake to create turrets. Frost the entire cake in pink frosting. Stick miniature flags on toothpicks into the ice cream cones for the final touch. Or, simply use our Enchanted Castle Cake Pan.
Party Favor Ideas
Send all the little princesses home with party favors that fit your theme. Give one large favor, such as a glamorous piece of jewelry, or combine smaller favors such as a lip gloss, bubbles, princess stickers, costume jewelry, and candy in a nice favor bag.
To save time, you may want to consider our complete Cinderella Favor Set, which includes a matching favor bag. Or, consider our popular personalized favors. Choose from bag tags, zipper pulls, magnets, and more, all personalized with your guests' names or a personal message from you!

The Panasonic DMC-ZS1 is a members of the new ZS-Series, the acclaimed successor to the Lumix TZ-Series and one of powerful digital cameras. Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1 has a sensor resolution of 10.1 effective megapixels from a 1/2.33" RGB CCD image sensor, and Panasonic has coupled this to an image stabilized, 12x optical zoom lens with an excellent 25mm-equivalent wide angle. Additionally, the LUMIX FZS1 features a large 2.7 inch Intelligent LCD with resolution of 230,000 points, high resolution electrical Viewfinder (201,600 pixels) and HD video capabilities with a resolution of x 1280 720p at 30fps.More recently though, probably inspired by Panasonic's success, most of the large manufacturers have launched their own contenders in the compact superzoom bracket, many of which show that their designers must have been looking quite closely at Panasonic's products before sitting down to develop their own models. Theres sadly no optical viewfinder, but this is perhaps understandable given the strength of the zoom.
The Panasonic ZS1 opts instead for a 2.7" LCD display with 230,000 dot resolutions on which images and videos are both framed and reviewed. The Panasonic ZS1's lens has a maximum aperture that varies from f/3.3 to f/4.9 across the zoom range. The minimum focusing distance for the Panasonic DMC-ZS1 is ordinarily 50 centimeters, but drops to just three centimeters when switched to Macro mode.

Drivers inching their way through the evening commute cursed the snow that returned to the Puget Sound region this afternoon, shutting down at least one highway and essentially turning others into parking lots for several hours.
Drivers inching their way through the evening commute cursed the snow that returned to the Puget Sound region this afternoon, shutting down at least one highway and essentially turning others into parking lots for several hours.
Police couldn't keep up with cars careening across freeways, chain-reaction fender benders and motorists abandoning their vehicles on suburban roads. For the first time in at least a decade, Highway 9, a major thoroughfare in Snohomish County, was shut down much of the night because it became "a complete sheet of ice," said Trooper Keith Leary.
All Seattle Public Schools will be closed Tuesday, district officials announced late tonight. Schools also are closed today in the Federal Way and Snohomish districts, among others, and classes will start up to two hours late in some other districts.
King, Pierce and Snohomish counties didn't see heavy accumulations, but the light flakes and icy roads created a dangerous and time-consuming commute. Many downtown Seattle streets were gridlocked during the evening because of an accident involving a police officer near Highway 99 and Qwest Field, where the Seahawks were hosting the Green Bay Packers for Monday Night Football.
The snow is expected to be done falling in most of the Puget Sound region by Tuesday morning. But the icy conditions and freezing temperatures will continue through Tuesday night. Another snow storm is predicted to hit Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.
Since the storm hit Sunday, the heaviest snowfall blanketed many of the small towns still recovering from catastrophic record-breaking rain storms earlier this month.
In Skagit County, the tiny town of Concrete had about two feet of snow by tonight, according to the National Weather Service. About three weeks ago, many Concrete residents were evacuated from their houses because of rising floodwaters.
"We had the flood, then we had the windstorm, then we had the snow. What's next? Is it going to be an earthquake?" said Judd Wilson, a Concrete town council member. Wilson said about 28 inches of snow fell at his home since Sunday.
Tell us your traffic story.
E-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com
In Blaine, near the northernmost tip of the state, there were reports of nearly 14 inches of snow. Port Angeles had about a foot of snow, the weather service said.
Dennis D'Amico, a meteorologist with the weather service, said the storm passed from Whatcom County all the way south through Thurston County. He said several more snow storms are likely to hit the region before spring.
State patrol troopers in King and Snohomish counties said this is some of the worst snow they've seen in about five years.
Trooper Jeff Merrill, who works in King County, said it took him about an hour to drive the 13 miles from Bellevue to Bothell during evening rush hour. He said people in Totem Lake were abandoning their cars and walking home.
About a half-dozen Snohomish County troopers were called in on overtime to handle the crashes and ice-related traffic woes, Leary said. In addition to Highway 9, Interstate 405, through Bothell, was problematic much of the night. So was Highway 522 through Woodinville.
"If you don't have to go out don't go out whatsoever," Leary suggested. "If you do go out, have chains."
The snow and ice makes Leary, a trooper of nine-years, look over his shoulder.
While investigating a snow-related crash in 2001, his cruiser was plowed into by a motorist who lost control on an icy road. After being hit on a Mountlake Terrace freeway onramp, by the car traveling nearly 50 mph, Leary underwent five months of physical therapy.
While the snow and ice was greeted unhappily by motorists, the cold didn't stop people from attending the Seahawks game. At 34 degrees, the kickoff temperature was the coldest the Hawks have seen since they started playing at Qwest Field in 2002.
"My toes are pretty frozen," said Reed Miller, 22, of Renton. "I didn't notice until I started walking."
Another fan, dressed in a chicken costume and going by the name "The Rooster," realized after the first half that the reason he was wet had nothing to do with the snow.
"He turned to me and said, 'Honey, I'm sweating,'" said his girlfriend, Jen Pearson.

He doesn't always do it, but I've noticed he sometimes tries more to juke than just run into people. I have a few theories.
1) Concussions, I believe he's had some before.
2) Fumble problems when he spends a lot of time fighting for yards.
3) He tends to run upright, which exposes him more to injury. He needs to practice getting lower.

2007 Lexus IS250 (3 Reviews)
While I love the sporty look of the IS-250, I have had 3 recalls on the vehicle since I've owned it. Lexus/Toyota does take care of its customers, but we pay a premium up-front to do so. I've experienced excessive brake wear and brake dust on this model, but love how it drives. The inside panels of the doors and the interior decking is made of a soft material that scratches too easily and wears too quickly. I've owned three Lexus models and have been satisfied with purchasing new versus pre-owned of which I have now.
My 2007 IS 250 has plenty of horse power for this size car. I had a brake pad problem, but Lexus paid for it. I have an open recall right now for a fuel pressure switch. I did what a lot of other people do, ( I bought a certified used car) and let someone else take the beating on the resale. My wife absolutely loves it, so that's all I need. Mom happy = Daddy happy. Anyway, good luck to all. This is a great website for anyone who owns a car. Their response time was only a few hours a most. Thanks to anyone who works for this website or company or has anything to do with this site at all. I'm a happy camper.
excessive front brake pad dust on rims. Under warranty dealer replaced the front pads and disc's free. Excellent car.

Critical Acclaim
- "Corinne Winters delivered a performance of white-hot intensity and consummate control." BBC Music Magazine
- "Winters, a striking brunette who manages to be simultaneously gamine and seductress, revealed an arresting, uniquely plum-colored soprano that could pass for mezzo in the middle but explodes with vibrant color on top." The New York Times
- "Corinne Winters gives a performance of genius, with a wonderfully supple voice. Her 'Amami Alfredo' was the most heart-rending since Renata Scotto." The Spectator
- "Ms. Winters is an outstanding actress as well as a singer of extraordinary grace and finesse." The New York Times
"In the soprano stratosphere populated by super divas with names like Renée Fleming and Anna Netrebko, Winters is simply a rock star. As Tatiana, her voice was so big and beautiful, with just a quiver of urgency to fit the mood and a warmth of vulnerability. The higher she climbed into the upper register, the quieter we became just to see if she could make it there. And boy, did she make it there. When she finished, slumping like a rag doll onto center stage, the audience erupted in an extended chorus of bravas." Arizona Daily Star

text: Hey all, I have got one problem relate to the ESET Smart Security v5.0.84. And I get the problem related with that when I am trying to install the Office 2007 Suite on my desktop PC. When I am trying to install at that time I get that this is showing error as only one setup instance can be runned at the same time. And also when I am trying to install the Office Home and Student 2010 at that time I get that it is also saying the same message. And this problem occurs only with the ESET Smart Security 5, and I am very sure about this because when I am trying the same thing with the version 4, this error not appears over there. Can here anyone suggest me some suggestion about this?? What can I do about this??

Board debates raises
County supervisors carried over a request from Circuit Clerk Sharon Reynolds for raises for her staff and matching funds into her own state retirement account at their payroll meeting Tuesday – but not before receiving a related report from Barbara Tuchel of Tunicans for Transparency in Government.
Tuchel said the transparency committee is urging Tunica County to move toward a "merit based raise system rather than the across the board system of the past.
"Just because the employees across the lobby from the Circuit Clerk's office earned and were granted raises does not necessarily mean raises need to be granted in the Circuit Clerk's office," she added.
Tuchel noted that residents "depend on the Circuit Clerk for accuracy and efficiency." The TTG report included documents copied from the official record of absentee ballots from 2007's primary which shows that 20 absentee ballots were sent to one post office box. The report also noted that none of these 20 absentee ballots were marked with a received date by the Circuit Clerk's office.
