Congrats, St. Louis!
I never got a chance to congratulate the St. Louis Cardinals yet on this blog for winning the World Series, so I wanted to take a moment to do that now. You knocked off the "juggernaut" (Philly), the "chic pick" (Milwaukee), and arguably the most steady team in the American League (Texas). Much like in 2006, you surprised us all!!
Especially, though, I was happy for former Twin Nick Punto…
He finally has that World Series ring for all his hustle!
On a related note, I was surprised to hear about the retiring of Tony LaRussa. Personally, I will always remember Tony for this…
I logged more hours on this baseball sim than perhaps any other video game I have ever played!
LaRussa was a great manager who will always be remember for his strategy, and perhaps his involvement in the Steroid Era. I think I'll always say that Bobby Cox was the greatest manager of my generation, but LaRussa isn't too far behind (just look at those win totals).

Mountains encircle the tiny African kingdom of Swaziland, including one that resembles a basking crocodile. Atop the mountain is an ancient iron ore mine, and at the foot of the mountain is the village of Ngwenya, the Siswati word for "crocodile." It is here that Swazi artisans breathe life into recycled glass to create these charming interpretations of animals found in southern African grasslands.
All of the items made by this group are 100% recycled glass, mostly soft drink bottles collected from all over the country. Ngwenya Glass partners with local school groups to teach them about conservation and reuse. The children help volunteer for roadside clean-up campaigns, and any glass they turn up gets reused by the artisans. In exchange, Ngwenya Glass contributes to school building materials and also sponsors the soccer team.
Each handcrafted zebra and giraffe has its own unique personality; please accept some variation.
Handblown in Swaziland. Zebra: 1 3/4"W x 5"H x 4"D. Giraffe: 2"W x 7 1/4"H x 2"D.

The heaviest kids in high school — those considered "extremely obese" (Body Mass Index greater than the 99th percentile) — are just as likely to engage in most high-risk behaviors (such as using alcohol, tobacco or drugs or engaging in sexual or suicidal behaviors) as their classmates of healthy weight, says a new study conducted by Cincinnati Children's and published in the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Researchers say the findings were surprising because of the assumption that teens at the most extreme levels of obesity might be less involved in risky behaviors because of social isolation and stigma. Of greater concern, however, were findings suggesting engagement in some specific high-risk behaviors in "more dangerous ways." Extremely obese boys were more likely to smoke and have tried cigarettes at a younger age. Extremely obese girls were less likely to have had sexual intercourse, but if they had, it was more likely to have occurred under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The study paints a picture of vulnerability for adolescents at the most extreme range of obesity already known to be at medical and psychosocial risk.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that in day care settings, children under age 2 not watch any TV, and that TV be limited to once-weekly, half-hour viewing sessions in older children. But most licensed day care centers surveyed in a Cincinnati Children's study don't follow recommended limits, according to findings presented by Cincinnati Children's at the 2011 annual meeting of the Pediatric Academic Societies. Excessive viewing is problematic, researchers say, not only because of the potential for leading to obesity but also because excessive viewing is associated with learning problems and delays, vocabulary and attention problems.
If you've ever wondered exactly how much safer your home would be for small children by using safety devices such as stair gates and cabinet locks, researchers for the first time have a precise number for you: 70 percent. About 2,800 children nationwide die each year from preventable injuries in the home, and millions more are treated in emergency departments. A study conducted by researchers from Cincinnati Children's and recently released in Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine found that injuries to children dropped dramatically when homes had safety measures in place such as stairway gates, cabinet locks, and smoke alarms. gates, cabinet locks, and smoke alarms.

This is only the second time in Pennsylvania's history it has offered a Tax Amnesty program to those who owe the state back taxes.
"This is a rare opportunity tax delinquents can't afford to pass up," said PA Department of Revenue Secretary C. Daniel Hassell. "We strongly urge any business or individual that owes back taxes to Pennsylvania to pay up during the Tax Amnesty period before we take further action."
After PA Tax Amnesty ends on June 18, eligible individuals who do not take advantage of the PA Tax Amnesty program to settle back taxes will have a 5 percent non-participation penalty added to delinquencies and may face other enforcement actions.
The 54-day PA Tax Amnesty program, created by Act 48 of 2009, is intended to generate $190 million to balance the current year fiscal budget. The program is generally available to all individuals, businesses and other entities with PA tax delinquencies as of June 30, 2009.
As required by law, all delinquent taxpayers known to the PA Department of Revenue received notices by mail in late April informing them of tax delinquencies and the PA Tax Amnesty program.
As an incentive to taxpayers previously unknown to PA to identify themselves, such tax delinquents will only be responsible for filing and paying five years worth of back taxes. In exchange, they must supply the state with the information it needs to add them to its tax records.
Taxpayers must apply for PA Tax Amnesty online at
The PA Tax Amnesty website features commonly asked questions and answers, step-by-step application instructions in English and Spanish and links to forms and publications taxpayers may need to satisfy PA Tax Amnesty filing requirements. Fact sheets, promotional materials, news releases, prepared newsletter articles and advertising materials will be added to the website throughout the PA Tax Amnesty period so that interested parties may share them with others to encourage participation in the PA Tax Amnesty program.
A toll-free hotline and call center featuring extended customer service hours has been dedicated to the PA Tax Amnesty program. Taxpayers may call 1-877-34-PAYUP (1-877-347-2987) from 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on some Saturdays.

Massive government disrespect for…
April 4th, 2012 11:20 am | by Marc Gallagher | Published in Big Government, Civil Liberties, Commentary, Walter E. Williams | 7 Responses
As usual Walter Williams hits the nail on the head and hammers it home with a recent column. In "Dupes for the State", he writes:
If we banned or restricted all activities that affect, harm or have the possibility of harming other people, it wouldn't be a very nice life. Let's look at what can affect or harm other people. Non-obese people are harmed by obesity, as they have to pay more for health care, through either higher taxes or higher insurance premiums. That harm could be reduced by a national version of a measure introduced in the Mississippi Legislature in 2008 by state Rep. W.T. Mayhall that in part read, "An act to prohibit certain food establishments from serving food to any person who is obese, based on criteria prescribed by the state Department of Health." The measure would have revoked licenses of food establishments that violated the provisions of the act. Fortunately, the measure never passed, but there's always a next time.
and also:
The emerging tragedy is our increased willingness to use the coercive powers of government, in the name of health or some other ruse, to forcibly impose our preferences upon others. In the whole scheme of things, the tobacco issue itself is trivial. Far more important is its template for massive government disrespect for private property.

Post-partum blues -- are they real?
Lorenzo Boyce, MD, is a board-certified OB/GYN on staff at Banner Estrella Medical Center.
Question: Are post-partum blues real or is it all in my head?
Answer: Post partum blues are definitely all in your head. But it is as real as the measurable chemicals that flow through your body and tell your brains to make you feel the way you do. Post partum blues or "baby blues" is a state of heightened emotion that occurs in certain women after the birth of their baby. The exact cause is not known, but is believed to be related to the hormonal changes that occur with pregnancy, labor and childbirth.
There are also many other external factors that may predispose a woman to these emotional changes. As many as 80 to 90 percent of women experience some degree of baby blues after childbirth. These feelings are self-limiting and require no real medical treatment. The emotional changes start a few days after giving birth, and may continue for several weeks.
Baby blues is probably not a good name for this condition since most mothers have no problem in caring for their newborn and are happy most of the time. But compared to how she usually feels, mothers may cry more easily, may be more irritable, and may feel sad and confused. For no clear reason they may feel angry with the newborn, other children, their partner and other family members, or anyone else who is in their immediate surroundings during these emotional surges.
Anyone who has been around a new mother during these emotional times can attest to the states of helplessness and confusion that these scenarios present. It can be a scary time for everyone involved. Baby blues affects all women. It crosses all social, economical and educational barriers.
There are many things that may increase the intensity of the baby blues feeling. These may include: a difficult pregnancy and delivery, personal and family problems, chronic or medical illness, to mention a few. What is recommended to ease this transition period is plenty of rest, help from your partner, family and friends, setting aside time for yourself, and talking to other women.
Dads also suffer from baby blues, as well as couples who have adopted a child. This indicates that the process is very complicated and not solely dependent on pregnancy. When the symptoms of baby blues continue for longer than the expected few weeks, then the woman needs medical attention for possible post partum depression, which is a real medical illness and must be treated as such.

Know what feature every Alienware laptop needs? A docking solution a la business laptops. Port on the bottom. just toss it into a dock (design an angled one with fans to help airflow when docked), and the dock should have a USB 3 hub, HDMI, audio ports, and the such. So when it's docked, every peripheral like mouse, keyboard, speakers, and monitor all come on at once. The way I have it is a cooling pad with a charger, a 3.5mm audio cable, an HDMI cable, and a USB 3 cable that goes to a hub that runs a hard drive, mouse, and keyboard. It's not the greatest setup with 4 cables sticking out of both sides of my laptop, and I think a docking solution would be INCREDIBLE for gamers who use their Alienware laptops as desktops like me.
Status Update: This idea is currently Under Review. Please understand that we will be limited in what we can share at this time. Thank you for posting.
Sep 13, 2013 Comment LinkWhat I find very interesting would be a special docking which does more than just connect peripherals. What I would like to see is a docking with a buit-in desktop GPU which works in harmony with the onboard laptop GPU when one connects the laptop. This way, gamers who would like to upgrade their home station can do that by buying special GPUs from DELL which are designed for this in cooperation with nVIDIA. If they want to upgrade the laptop, they must buy a new one.
Jul 8, 2012 Comment LinkAn Alienware docking station would go perfectly with an Alienware ultrabook. The release of an ultrabook would be the perfect time to begin adapting the undercarriages across the line for any 14 inch model or smaller.
Jun 14, 2012 Comment LinkTo add to the original idea: now that Thunderbolt is out there, consider making a generic Thunderbolt docking station. It's much easier to setup and can accommodate a DVI screen + several peripherals.
Jun 14, 2012 Comment LinkIt is a great idea. I will submitt it to our team for review. Thank you for posting it
Jun 14, 2012 Comment LinkConsidering our Alieware laptops are closer to Desktop Replacements than laptops, save the M11x, I think this would be a great idea. Alot of people buy Alienware laptops in leiu of getting a full size desktop due to portability and size. But a docking station wouldn't equate to anywhere near the size of a typical gaming desktop so this would be a great idea for the next Alienware models!
Jun 12, 2012 Comment LinkI love this idea! I use my M14x as a desktop frequently, and the current setup has something like five cords/dongles coming out of it (speakers, cooling pad USB cable, HDMI, mouse USB dongle, keyboard USB dongle). I'd love to just have one thing to plug in and out!

Woman strikes trees, dies in I-85 crash
Published: Monday, February 11, 2013 at 10:12 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 11, 2013 at 10:12 a.m.
A 23-year-old Raleigh woman died after her vehicle collided with three trees in the median of Interstate 85 on Sunday.
The accident that resulted in the death of Lauren Marie Feudale occurred at 7:39 p.m. just north of mile marker 92, according to the N.C. Highway Patrol.
Feudale, who was driving a 2011 GMC Sport Utility Vehicle, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Pam Kearns, a spokeswoman with the Highway Patrol, said Feudale was traveling north on I-85 in the middle northbound lane when her vehicle traveled off the road into the median and collided with the three trees before it came to rest. Trooper Eric Phillips arrived at the scene and investigated the crash.
Kearns said the speed limit on the section of I-85 in which the wreck occurred is 70 miles per hour. Phillips estimated Feudale's original speed was 70 mph and 50 mph at impact.
Phillips determined the cause of the crash was inattention, Kearns said. However, it was unclear Monday morning if a cell phone or what other factor may have led to the crash.
Troopers determined Feudale was not wearing a seat belt. She was not ejected and did not have other passengers, according to the Highway Patrol.
The Central and South Lexington volunteer fire departments, as well as Davidson County Emergency Services and Davidson County Rescue Squad, responded.

The 2014 Sundance Film Festival is right around the corner (Jan. 16–26), and if you're a Utah resident looking for a discount, don't miss out on the Locals Individual Tickets.
Follow these steps to get yours:
First, register for a purchase timeslot—you have until Dec. 16 at 4 p.m. to register.
Second, on Dec. 19, check your email for your purchase timeslot.
And third, purchase your individual tickets (online or over the phone). You will have from your timeslot start time until Jan. 10 at 4p.m. to make your purchase.
All tickets are $20, but if you purchase your tickets by phone, they are $25, and there is a $1 processing fee for all tickets. (So really, all tickets are either $21 online or $26 over the phone.)
The pick-up day is Saturday, Jan. 11. You can also pick up your Best of Fest tickets the same day. If Jan. 11 doesn't work for you, then you can get your tickets when the Main Box Offices open to the public on Tuesday, Jan. 14.
Each customer may only purchase a maximum of 20 tickets, with a limit of four tickets per screening. Registration does not guarantee a timeslot or ticket availability. Sales dates and times are randomly assigned by a computer at the end of the registration period, and you are required to present your Utah Driver's License or a Utah State ID Card at the time of ticket pick-up.

ZF-8484: Clarify the utility of Zend_Filter_StripTags to inform users of its appropriate use cases
The documentation for Zend_Filter_StripTags begins and ends with:
{quote}This filter returns the input string, with all HTML and PHP tags stripped from it, except those that have been explicitly allowed. In addition to the ability to specify which tags are allowed, developers can specify which attributes are allowed across all allowed tags and for specific tags only. Finally, this filter offers control over whether comments (e.g., ) are removed or allowed.{quote}
In the wild, the StripTags filter is being used to prepare the direct output (i.e. non-escaped) of user or externally sourced HTML. The filter is configured for this purpose to allow a subset of commonly used HTML tags and attributes. This gives rise to two concerns:
The API is not explained, and configurations may utilise the setAttributesAllowed() method to enable the attributes of tags. This is problematic since the method adds globally enabled attributes - i.e. they will be allowed for all allowed tags.
The StripTags filter is not XSS safe, gives rise to malformed HTML, and allows for standalone closing tags. Any of these can be exploited on a site utilising the StripTags filter as its sole means of filtering HTML for direct output.
Even when employed correctly, the StripTags filter utilises a loose regular expression for tag matching. This will delete any text containing an angle bracket (e.g. <).
Examples of this presumably invalid use of the StripTags filter is evident from public email lists and forums (like Stackoverflow). Given that misuse is obviously occurring in the wild, the correct usage of the StripTags filters should be explained in greater detail. Its existence in the wild on websites constitutes a significant security risk to those misapplying the filter.
Duplication of ZF-8483
It's not a duplication, this issue is a request to improve the documentation to eliminate any doubt about the role of Zend_Filter_StripTags. The linked issue concerns the actual source code and its flaws and does not refer in any way to the current state of the documentation.
They may be related, but they are not duplicates.
Until now, when I changed a filter I always documented the complete class. I documented about 5 filters this way which were only mentioned by a single sentence. You know that because it is a work in progress since 4 months. You also read the channel yesterday and what I replied.
I have the feeling that in your opinion it would be better when I don't fix the class ( ZF-8483 ), don't add a chapter ( ZF-8484 ) and also don't try to make ZF more secure ( http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/… ) :-/
May I ask why ?
You feeling is misplaced, Thomas ;). I was only commenting that a documentation issue is not mentioned in the other issue and therefore it cannot be a duplicate. I can't be expected to track the documentation efforts of every developer so I reasonably assumed (until proven wrong) that no docs change would be made without prompting. If I'm wrong in that regard, I do apologise, but I stand by the current issue remaining open until reasonably resolved. If you decide to make note of the documentation issue in ZF-8483, then this issue may of course be closed as being tracked elsewhere (i.e. it would become a true duplicate).
On an honest note, I'm of the opinion the StripTags filter cannot be fixed and should be replaced. The class as is has had several reported XSS exploits so far, and is obviously undependable in this role. I support your proposal 100%. I'm writing an email to the zf-contributors list to highlight this.
The related section was added as part of ZF-8966 and ZF-8920 Several warnings have been added in addition

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 8 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ccaldwell Love this entire set The bowls are great. They match the rest of the set beautifully. Sturdy, and dishwasher safe. Great medium size bowl. January 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jessie please add a soup/pasta bowl Love it, I own 16 place settings plus 4 of each serving piece. But PLEASE add a soup/pasta bowl that is more shallow (smaller version of the serving bowl)! The current bowl is great for cereal, but not really wide enough for salad or pasta, and not right for soup. I would also like to see a round serving bowl (larger version of the cereal bowl), but that is not nearly as important as the soup/pasta bowl. But don't let this stop you from buying it - the set is beautiful, durable, and well priced! May 5, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mary the Soldier's Angel Exotic Beauty The main use is for breakfast cereal. Its light weight makes it easy to store and carry. And I LOVE the pattern! September 18, 2008
Rated 5 out of 5 by mom to many Great price and great service Great buy-looks like expensive Portugese china but is low cost.I bought extras to store in case of breakage over the years. July 6, 2008
Rated 5 out of 5 by dora I would buy this product again very pretty dishes June 13, 2008
Rated 4 out of 5 by Demigoddess1 Pretty with Amber dinnerware I mixed this with the Amber plates, and they're beautiful together. My husband loves these bowls for cereal. The only issue I have is that they're big and deep and don't really fit well in my dishwasher. May 31, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Melanie Enjoying our new dinnerware immensely! We haven't had the set long enough to give it a true test of durability, but we have enjoyed it thus far. It's a good looking set for a good value. The cereal bowls can be used as small serving dishes with no problem! December 9, 2008
Rated 3 out of 5 by B Do not put in dishwasher! Although nicely shaped, sized, and designed, the very first time I put it in the dishwasher, it got cracks on the inside of the bowl. (This happened with both bowls that I bought, so it wasn't just a one-off thing.) If you use it occasionally, or are willing to hand wash it every time, it's nice. But other than that, it's just not practical. (The plates haven't had that problem...) January 14, 2011

2013 Oregon GOSH Conference coming to Portland
Registration open for largest safety and health event in Northwest
(Salem) – Registration is now open for the Oregon Governor's Occupational Safety and Health (GOSH) Conference, to be held March 4-7, 2013, at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland. With more than 150 workshops and sessions, it is t he largest event of its kind in the Northwest.
"One of the challenges employers of all types face is how to make safety a true reality in the workplace," said Oregon OSHA Administrator Michael Wood. "This event offers tried-and-true guidance for achieving success in your safety and health program, whether you operate a small business or a large manufacturing company."
Keynote speaker Jeff "Odie" Espenship will present "Getting Back to Basics is Vital to Superior Performance — It's the Little Things that Matter" on Tuesday, March 5, 2013. An author, renowned speaker, and former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot, Espenship will motivate audience members to rethink and refocus their work behavior.
"By setting high expectations, by speaking up, by listening to what is not being said, by overcoming complacency (the silent killer), by never assuming, and by communicating to understanding helps us achieve new heights in life and leadership," said Espenship.
On Thursday, March 7, the conference features a moderated panel discussi on with recipients of the Portland Business Journal Healthiest Employer Award. Top organizations will share insights into what makes their wellness programs effective and offer tips for tackling challenges and other best practices. Nationally recognized expert Ron Goetzel, director of the Emory University Institute for Health and Productivity Studies, will also speak Thursday on his research around what makes wellness programs effective.

Encopresis is a problem that children can develop due to chronic (long-term) constipation. With constipation, children have fewer bowel movements than normal, and the bowel movements they do have can be hard, dry, and difficult to pass. Once a child becomes constipated, a vicious cycle can develop. The child may avoid using the bathroom to avoid discomfort. Stool can become impacted (packed into the rectum and large intestine) and unable to move forward. The rectum and intestine become enlarged due to the hard, impacted stool. Eventually, the rectum and intestine have problems sensing the presence of stool, and the anal sphincter (the muscle at the end of the digestive tract that helps hold stool in) loses its strength. Liquid stool can start to leak around the hard, dry, impacted stool, soiling a child's clothing.
Any child with chronic constipation may develop encopresis. Some of the situations that lead to constipation include the following:
For unknown reasons, boys develop encopresis six times more than girls do. Even though family stress can be linked to constipation, there does not seem to be any association between developing encopresis and how many children are in a family, a child's birth order (i.e. first, middle, last), a child's age, or the family's income.
Encopresis can cause both physical and emotional problems.
Impacted (backed up) stool in the intestine can cause abdominal pain, as well as loss of appetite. Some children develop bladder infections.
Other health problems may cause chronic constipation, including diabetes, hypothyroidism, Hirschsprung's Disease, and inflammatory bowel disease.
Children with encopresis can certainly feel emotionally upset by the "accidents" they have when they soil their clothes. They usually do not have control of this leakage of stool. Their self-esteem and interactions with other people can be affected. Children are often ashamed or embarrassed. They may avoid going to school, playing with friends, or spending the night away from home. Parents may feel guilt, shame, anger, or distaste by the problem. The child will often be aware of a parent's feelings and become even more emotionally affected.
The following are the most common symptoms of encopresis. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Symptoms of encopresis may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Please consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
A physician or healthcare provider will examine your child, and obtain a medical history. Imaging tests may also be done to evaluate the intestine and rule out other health problems. These tests may include:
Specific treatment for encopresis will be determined by your child's physician based on the following:
Treatment for encopresis may include:
An enema may be prescribed by your child's physician to help remove the impacted stool. An enema is a liquid that is placed in your child's rectum and helps loosen the hard, dry stool. (DO NOT give your child an enema without the approval of a physician or healthcare provider.)
Your child's physician will often prescribe medications to help keep your child's bowel movements soft for several months. This will help prevent stool impaction from occurring again. Please do not give your child stool softeners without the approval of a physician.

Cooke, Stearns Three-Point Days Not Enough As Tigers Fall To RPI 4-3
Kelly Cooke and Corey Stearns had three points each for the Princeton women's hockey team on an afternoon when Rennsalaer skated away with the two points that mattered most.
Princeton dug itself too big of a hole and just couldn't get all the way out, falling 4-3 to RPI at Baker Rink.
Princeton trailed 3-0 heading to the third period after allowing a shorthanded goal in the first period and then two more in the second.
Cooke and Stearns took turns setting each other up to make it a 3-2 game, and Cooke cut it to one again with a goal with 3:06 to go after RPI had gone up 4-2 with 12 minutes left. The Tigers couldn't get the equalizer after that.
Sally Butler also had an assist on Cooke's third goal.
The Engineers outshot the Tigers 27-16 and improved to 3-11-2, 1-5-0 ECAC, gaining their first ECAC win of the season. Princeton is now 5-7-2, 2-6-2 in the ECAC.
The Tigers will play Quinnipiac next Friday, December 7th, at 4 p.m. at Hobey Baker Rink.

Aspen Women SR - I was wondering...
Submitted by Fan (not verified) on
I was wondering why there was no coverage of this. It was cut down to a one hour crit. Not a good sign for growing Women's racing. With Exergy imploding, 2013 could be pretty thin.
Announced on 8/1/2012 (I never saw the press release)
We are sad to announce that the Blue Ribbon Alpine Challenge is reducing from a 3-day race to a single day criterium due to a lack of funds. As some of you know this race is put on solely by three individuals. None of us are making a dime for our efforts, and in 2011 each of us put in our own personal funds to get this race off the ground. For 2012 we hoped to grow the event and further promote women's cycling, but we were unsuccessful in securing the necessary funds or resources to put on the full race. We have no reserves nor loans to fall back on, and we must now change the race to fit within our budget.

Your anger helps keep women's cycling articles alive on 303

Excellent, I like womens
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Excellent, I like womens cycling and I am one of the FEW that actually go out and watch them. BUT I am not a hypocrite that screams boycott - boycott - boycott when an event does not provide me with a gender specific field. Likewise, I am honest enough to admit when an event is sexists such as those that exclude solely based on gender.
Also, where do you see anger and hate in my statements? Honesty is not hate. If anything, your false accusations are the ones that are angry and hateful. I have always found that when people resort to false labels it is becasue they simply can't refute.

Gardening Articles: Landscaping :: Yard & Garden Planning
Winter Heaths (page 2 of 3)
by Alice Knight
Erica Darleyensis
These have a long flowering period, are suitable to almost any soil, and need very little pruning to remain neat and compact. Heights range from about 8 inches to almost 2 feet. Most are neatly shaped bushes that spread from 1 to 3 feet, depending on the variety. Many varieties have pleasing pink or cream tips of new growth in spring, and some foliage is accented with bronze tones in winter. Buds form in late summer or very e fall, and some varieties begin blooming as early as September often continuing well into May. As on E. carnea, many flowers open pink and deepen to reddish purple as the season progresses.
Irish Heath
Most varieties of Irish Heath (Erica erigena) bloom in late winter or in spring. They are less hardy than the other two winter-blooming heaths and are often much taller, at least 3 feet and up to 12 feet tall. They are also more difficult to find. The branches of Irish heath tend to be woody and brittle, and will snap under heavy snow loads.
How to Grow Heaths
Because heaths have fibrous, shallow roots, so plants grow best in sandy, well-drained soil. Add peat moss or compost to improve drainage, or plant in raised beds or mounds. And as for other plants of this family, they need slightly acidic soil. If your soil is alkaline or nearly so, use fertilizers recommended for azaleas and rhododendrons, or similar acid formulations. Winter-blooming heaths can also be planted in containers but don't perform well inside the house or on a shady porch.
Plant heaths in full exposure to the sun. Plants can tolerate partial shade, but they won't bloom as well and tend to get leggy.
In most areas, early spring or early fall are best planting times. Prepare a hole at least twice as wide as the size of the rootball. Partially fill the hole with compost or topsoil. Don't plant too deep! Heaths have shallow roots and do best if planted at about the same depth as they grow in the pot. Water well after planting.
Good drainage is important. Scoring or lightly scratching the root ball in two or three places helps plants establish quickly. Established heaths are quite drought resistant, but failure to water adequately the first two seasons is the prime reason for plant loss.
Winter-blooming heaths require very little pruning. It is safest to prune, when needed, as soon as flowers fade because buds are set almost immediately for the next season. To encourage compactness and flowering, prune around the edges of the plant and very lightly over the top. Spring pruning may also be necessary to repair winter damage. Clip off broken or dead branches, and shape the plant. Heaths can take severe pruning when necessary but can be damaged if heavily pruned before hard frosts.
Winter protection is necessary where subzero temperatures are common, particularly when they occur before significant snow accumulation. If your plants will be exposed to months of severe cold, use evergreen boughs, straw, or canvas to protect them from cold or from drying winds. Avoid heavy mulches, such as leaves, which will mat and possibly injure the plant. Anti-desiccant sprays can also be applied.
A light application of acid fertilizer in spring is usually enough. A granular type that can be watered into the soil is best. Don't apply fertilizer to the foliage, and keep it at least two inches from the stem.

Price: $99.00
For the Navajo, turquoise is believed to ensure favor with one's yei, a holy being who mediates between the human and supernatural worlds. This necklace is handcrafted by Navajo artisans in Arizona and features a smooth cabochon pendant set in sterling silver on a satin strand of blue and green turquoise discs.
Handcrafted in Arizona. Adjustable 18–21"L. Pendant is 1"L.
Believed to bestow the wearer with courage, luck, health, and protection, turquoise has been used in jewelry making for millennia by cultures as diverse as the Navajo, ancient Egyptians, and Tibetans. Turquoise can range in color from light yellow-green to dark blue, and usually contains turquoise matrix, the dark veins of other minerals with which it developed. It figures in the creation myth of the Anasazi Indians, who tell that the tribe first entered the world through the mouth of a New Mexico cave that is now a turquoise mine. In Tibet, the sky is called "the turquoise of heaven," and both men and women value jewelry featuring the gem in sky blue hues. Turquoise is sometimes given as a love token to one's betrothed, because its color is said to remain pure as long as the affection lasts.

Also, the host boys' team, Lexington's Yellow Jackets, played exceptionally well and walked away with the runner-up trophy for their valiant efforts. North and Lexington finished the regular season as conference co-champions, and both teams should continue to perform well in the next few seasons to come.
Good sportsmanship has always been a key aspect of any game in any sport. The aforementioned contest was no exception. That's why, even though both teams performed well on the floor, I was somewhat baffled by the response from the Lexington boys when the game concluded.
Customarily, the losing team lines up to shake the hands of the winning team, both sides commending the other for a game well-played. However, this did not occur at the conclusion of this game. What was the reason for this? Why did the Yellow Jackets not shake the Cavaliers' hands? Despite the assumptions I heard, I can't answer these questions.
But, this I will say — it didn't look right for the Lexington players and coaches to hurry off the floor and not acknowledge the winning team. North has lost its share of games this past season, but even in defeat I've never witnessed them treat the opposing team the way that they were treated in the Lexington gym.
Please, remember that part of every athletic contest is the fact that one team must win, one team must lose. If you're on the losing side, still hold your head high and give your opponents their proper acknowledgements. As players, you never want to give the impression that you are "sore losers," especially when you know that not to be true. And as coaches, you always want your team to represent you well, victorious or not, by demonstrating good sportsmanship before, during and after every game.
Best wishes to both the Lexington and North Rowan squads for the 2014-15 year.

i HATE his 'fans'
i HATE his 'fans'
I live. I love. I kill. I catch Pokemons. I am content.
Yeah, those atheists who are not aware of the impact religion has had on the world beyond IT CAUSED LOADS OF WARS XD and constantly point out inaccuracies/inconsistencies in the Bible/Qu'ran, completely misunderstanding that they're not intended to be 100% accurate, they're intended to be general moral guidance/inspiring literature about noble ideas to aspire to. Everyone goes through the phase and people need to be shot down when they're going through a phase like this on a regular basis. Confronting so many Dawkins fans, like some annoying Aspie in the school, has single-handedly turned me into a Christian apologist for purposes of theological debates
I wouldn't call myself a fan of his but I find him a helluva lot more likable than, say, the president of American Atheists. I forget his name.
I live. I love. I kill. I catch Pokemons. I am content.
i do believe that the net impact that religion has had on this world has been NEGATIVE but i hate how gung-ho dawkins is about the whole thing, how his arguments are no better than the dime-a-dozen talking points that people post relentlessly on internet forums and how annoying the people who idolise him are.
As an atheist he has a memorable personality I guess, he's someone that sticks out in your brain like an imam as a representative of Muslim faith
i havent read any of his works but i spent quite a while today watching youtube videos of him either criticising theology or debating with theists and all his points/rebuttals suck and eventually end up becoming trite mocking of religion.
"An atheist has to know a lot more than I know. An atheist is someone who knows there is no god. By some definitions atheism is very stupid."
- Carl Sagan
yeah how can you write a book on that shit, 'the god delusion'. yeah, religion is actually bullshit and stupid and its done a bunch of shit and people do/believe stupid things because of it, i think this has been well known for thousands of years and probably popular opinion among 'educated' people since the enlightenment. who gives a shit.
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
also even conflicts nominally about religion didnt have any underlying basis to do with religion really and would have happened/been sold to the public for other reasons if religion wasnt around
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
Dawkins preaches to the choir, that's really his only major fault. No one outside of the atheist community actually listens to what he has to say. Most of his talking points are reused but that's because he follows a philosophy I adapted before I even heard of the guy, if it's not broken don't fix it. I read The God Delusion, it wasn't bad. It wasn't exactly amazing but it wasn't bad. I liked The Demon-Haunted World better, partly because Sagan is more eloquent and partly because he doesn't go after religion from some moral high ground with an air of personal offense. He goes after its fervent belief as an impractical and devastating stumbling block to humanity and laments the great achievements and great minds constrained by either an authoritarian church or their own supernatural beliefs. Dawkins does this too but its overshadowed by his vitriol.
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." - Time Enough For Love, by Robert Heinlein
he's actually written some pretty non-atheist books concerning biology/evolution that were very good.
"There is no God" - Richard Dawkins
yeah but when he talks about politics hes usually great
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.

It's pretty easy to get lost at the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market, with so much gear and so many companies from all over the world. Luckily, Utah companies also set up shop, reminding us of our great outdoors and why the show is based here. Here are three local finds we love at Outdoor Retailer.
Every camper should have this grill, and that's why we put it in this year's Best of the Beehive. Set it up over your campfire and get cooking. Hence the name, you can adjust the height, and no need to ever put your hand over the fire since the grill rotates. Check out the easy assembly at adjustagrill.com. Retails for $59.99.
Forget an arm band, just tuck your iPhone into your bra—well, your bra's pocket. Swoob puts inside pockets on sports bras for active women, making them some of the only bras with pockets in the market (and the only ones we saw at OR). They make other clothing, too. Prices vary, check out swoob.com.
Ace Camp
We're aware this is an international company, but their US headquarters are in SLC. And they have a product that really fired us up. Replace matches with the Flamestick, a post-consumer plastic stick that stays lit for five minutes. It doesn't put off any scents that might attract bears, kind of like a citronella flame stick would. And if you drop it into a lake, it'll still light up. They go for about $25 per box. Find more info at acecamp.com.

El Rey is a chocolate brand that's known far and wide amongst fellow chocolate enthusiasts. They're a Venezuelan based chocolate and have many fans, with many of them chefs, because of it's excellent flavor and quality. I picked up this 61% Mijao (Venezuelan singe bean origin "Carenero Superior") bar in Whole Foods eager to taste this greatness for myself and put my tasting skills to good work.
Unwrapping the bar, the chocolate is gorgeous to look at with very dark in color with reddish undertones. There's not a lot of gloss to it, only a subtle sheen, but still beautiful. The pieces have a great hard snap and clean break. The pieces sound crisp, like dominoes, when they clink together.
The smell is very bright and vibrant of coffee, red fruits, cinnamon, cocoa, vanilla and a hint of raisins. It's a wonderful combination of aromas, and it makes me even more anxious to taste it!
The snap is very hard and robust. In the mouth I found chewing the chocolate was useful in coaxing the flavors out. Once it starts melting it has a nice smooth feel to it. The flavor is very mild and "green" at first, I get notes of forest, asparagus and green coffee. Then the taste mellows into cream, caramel and cappuccino in the middle, then the finish is bright with a light tartness of berries mixed with more cream notes. The aftertaste is very fresh and clean with light notes of the green coffee, but they are barely noticeable.
Oh yum! I now know what the fuss is all about. A beautiful bittersweet chocolate to invest in, whether you intend to bake with it or, as I prefer, to eat it straight.

Made specifically for smaller faces, the Tifosi Wisp offers unparalleled eye protection. The lightweight frame comes with three different interchangeable lenses so you can adapt these sunglasses to any weather conditions.
Great Fitting Sunglasses
These are the best fitting sunglasses I've had in many years. I have a small face and have a hard time finding stylish, practical glasses that are comfortable. I play golf all year long and like the idea that I can easily change the lens on these glasses. Swim Outlet offered them at a great price and they were delivered quickly.

Love, love, love theses glasses!
These glasses are great for cycling. I have a very small head and they are nice and snug with great visability and ventilation. The arms are short, so if your head is not small they may not work for you. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for cool sport glasses at a reasonable price!

Fits smaller faces
I use these glasses for cycling and running. I have a difficult time finding frames that fit my narrow face (most woman's glasses are too big). These fit well and are stylish enough to wear around. I would recommend these glasses.
Brunswick, OH
Just as described
I got these glasses to replace my old cycling glasses. The interchangable lenses are a must, and the clarity of this pair are much better then my old pair. I have a very small head, and these fit great! No slipping while riding. Love them!
New Market, Md
This product was EXACTLY what the website stated!!! Received the product when I was expecting it and it was received in perfect condition. I was specifically looking for sunglasses to fit a small framed face and the website advertisied that these were that type. They were exactly what I was looking for. The craftsmanship is wonderful and they fit perfect. The price was wonderful and I love the way they look. I will certainly use this website again!!! Thanks!

In 2003, Tifosi founders Joe and Elizabeth Early identified a need for a high-quality, value-oriented eyewear brand in the cycling industry. As an independent sales rep, Joe noticed that eyewear brands on the market only offered products that fell into two categories: glasses with limited features and a lower price, or glasses that were fully-loaded with features and technology and accompanied by a high price tag.
Joe saw that there was an opportunity to create a sunglass brand that would suit the needs of both small and large retailers, and provide value to consumers looking for high-quality sports optics. In just over five years, the Tifosi product offering expanded to more than 170 model and color options including products for golf and other outdoor sports. Tifosi currently has more than 2,500 U.S. retailers and is distributed in 32 countries.

SUPPLEMENT WATCH September 1997 U.S. Edition
A few claims on labels are honest. Take Natrol My Favorite Natural Vitamin E. It's fair to say that vitamin E provides "antioxidant protection for heart and all body tissues."
Most other claims, while truthful, are misleading. It doesn't matter if they are "structure-or-function" claims that come with a disclaimer saying that the FDA hasn't evaluated them -- or "look-the-other-way" claims that the FDA also hasn't evaluated.
With luck, these six examples may help you see through some of the tricks. But the only way to really know if a claim is honest is to find out yourself (or read in Nutrition Action) if there's good evidence to back it up.
Don't expect the company -- or the FDA -- to do it for you.
That explains why the label on Nature's Resource Cranberry says "research indicates Cranberry Fruit may help maintain a healthy urinary tract by preventing the adhesion of bacteria (E. coli) to the bladder."
Only one catch. "We don't know what the active ingredient in cranberry juice beverage is," says Avorn. "And we don't know whether it survives drying and scrunching."
And let's say that what's in Nature's Resource Cranberry is active. Two capsules equal one ounce of cranberry juice cocktail, says the label. So to get the ten ounces that cut the risk of infections in Avorn's study, you'd need 20 capsules a day.
Guess you could just buy a new bottle every five days.
True. But don't expect the recommended one to six capsules a day to burn away unwanted body fat or make you feel more energetic.
"The healthy body already has all the carnitine it can use," says exercise physiologist David Costill of Ball tat University. "The extra is simply excreted."
Carnitine failed to improve lap times in college swimmers or change how much fat was burned by eight people in a Mayo Clinic study.
"Would the ordinary person benefit from carnitine?' asks Peggy Borum, a carnitine expert at the University of Florida in Gainesville. "The answer is no." L-Carnitine is good for burning one thing: a hole in your pocketbook.
Ditto for Nature's Way Ginkgold. Whether you're young or old, "total mental sharpness" has appeal.
Pharmaton's label "affirms that the statements presented on this package are supported by well-controlled clinical studies."
But no good studies have tested ginkgo biloba on healthy people's ability to remember or concentrate. There's only one good study on people with mild memory problems-as opposed to people institutionalized for dementia-and its results are not convincing.
"There is no sound scientific evidence to support the use of ginkgo," says Thomas Crook, a former chief of the Geriatric Psychopharmacology Program at the National Institute of Mental Health who is familiar with studies on ginkgo.
"From my perspective, the value of ginkgo is unknown."
So many parents would naturally be interested in Nature's Plus Pedi-Active A.D.D. The words "Advanced Dietary Delivery System" are also on the label, but in smaller print.
We asked Nature's Plus if it had evidence that its combination of phosphatidylserine and other substances found in the brain helps kids with ADD.
So far: no answer.
"Frankly, we were very interested in learning about the supporting science," says Lucas Meyer, the company that supplies Nature's Plus with its phosphatides. "We've asked for it, but have not yet received any if formation." Lucas Meyer is starting a pilot study to see if phosphatidviserine can help kids with attention deficits. Apparently, Nature's Plus couldn't wait.
"We gave either a placebo or 900 micrograms a day of chromium picolinate to 35 overweight men and women between the ages of 54 and 71," says Wayne Campbell of Pennsylvania State University. 'To my knowledge, no other study has used that high a dose or such exhaustive measurements.
"There was no hint of a change in fat mass, muscle mass, the size of muscle fibers, insulin, glucose, cholesterol, or anything else."
Earlier this year, the Federal Trade Commission got Nutrition 21, which makes chromium picolinate, to stop claiming that it causes long-term weight-loss, lowers blood cholesterol, or treats or prevents diabetes.
But other companies, like KAL, can continue to make the same unsubstantiated claims ... until the FTC acts.
Is that smart government or what?
There is no good evidence that they'll either replenish nutrients lost during emotional stress or actually reduce stress.
In the 1950s, the National Academy of Sciences issued a report suggesting that people might need more C and B-vitamins during severe physical stress. That meant multiple injuries, severe bums, or major surgery, not going-through-a-divorce or working-too-hard stress.
In 1986, New York State stopped ads for Stresstabs that showed a man working late at the office. "There is no scientifically recognized need for stress vitamins to relieve everyday stress," said then-Attorney General Robert Abrams.
Too bad that's not on the label.

The Milk Carton Kids followed the "build-on-your-success" template to the letter on Tuesday night when they played for about 60 or so people - the vast majority of which had seen them at The State Room earlier this year opening for Joe Purdy.
The Los Angeles-based duo played exceeding well, despite the stifling heat inside Kilby Court. The Milk Carton Kids wowed its audience with a steady diet of songs from its second release, "Prologue," which came out last month. Opening with the frenzied, upbeat, "New York," the duo of Joey Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale blended their sibling-like harmonies seamlessly and Pattengale, who I guarantee you is the hottest, fastest picker you've never heard of, took the first of several blazing, country-inflected solos.
But rather than being just a vehicle for hot fretwork, these guys are all about the songs. And the gorgeous lyrics and melodies of "No Hammer To Hold," "Queen Jane," and "Permanent," were all bittersweet highlights that received delighted yells and applause from the crowd, which stood in sweaty silence throughout the duo's 65-minute set.
Also, for guitar players, upbeat numbers like "Girls Gather 'Round," and "Charlie," and "I Still Want A Little More," gave the lightning-fast Pattengale ample room to blaze away. All in all, despite the low-key surroundings of Kilby Court, this was a majorly impressive show. The country-fueled passion of "Undress the World," - sung by Pattengale - contrasted nicely with the folkie glory of Ryan's beautiful, "Like A Cloak." These guys have all the tools - songs, melodies and fierce guitar work. Also, they're at Logan's Art House on Wednesday night at 6:30 p.m.
And curious readers don't have to wonder what these guys sound like. Downloads of their cds are free at their website, www.themilkcartonkids.com. Ryan joked Tuesday that the band developed its "policy" of giving away its music, just to have a policy. Whatever the reason, the label-free band seems fully capable of building its fan base through the old-fashioned mix of good songs and great live shows.
