So much to check out with the kids this weekend. Start the weekend off with a cute play at The Children's Theatre about a tailor whose boastful ways catch the attention of a giant. On Saturday, catch an early performance of Fully Charged, Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey's new show. Lastly, top things off with a beer (snow cones for the kids) at the Harvest Moon Celebration in Ogden's historic 25th Street.
FRIDAY and SATURDAY
The Brave Little Tailor
This German fairy tale comes to life on the Children's Theate's stage. It follows the story of a tailor, who prepares to eat jam when flies settle on his food. He swats seven of the flies with one blow. Inspired by the incident, he makes a belt that says "Seven at one blow."
A giant assumes the belt is referring to seven men and challenges the tailor to strong-man contest.
The play teaches kids about diversity and why its wrong to be a bully.

I'm a size 33 waist and these shorts fit perfectly. The material seems quite nice and the padding is wonderful, albeit it is too wide towards the back of my seat.
Best shorts for the money
By John
from Florida
Worth twice the price, the differance between this Italian made short and a generic short is like an expensive bike versus a discount store bike. The best I have used and should last a long time. I bought the small, next time I will get medium for a slightly longer leg. I am 6'2" and 155 pounds. Very well designed pad. Gonna buy some more soon.
Really comfortable

By DownButNotOut
from Bethesda, MD
I've worn just one pair of LG shorts for nearly 2 years. Now that I am riding a lot more, it was time for more shorts. The padding in these shorts is significantly better than that in my LGs. I don't know which LG, but they were 1/2 the cost of these. The padding is stiffer since it is just 2 wings and is not compartmentalized for flexibility like my LG. As a result, I do notice it more both off and on the bike. It is not uncomfortable, but noticeable. But it's worth it--my sit bones don't hurt after 1 or several 13 mile commutes to work.I also like that they aren't high-waisted like my LGs. I wish the legs were a little longer--my leg warmers may have a tougher time with these. I'm not crazy about the underwear elastic, but my shirt covers it anyway. I'm 5'10" 155 pounds and the medium fits tightly (not uncomfortably). I would be tempted to try a large next time.Hopefully the logos fade quickly. Hopefully they are as durable as the LGs to survive mtb wipeouts on the trail and constant machine wash/dry cycles.

Very comfortable for long days in the saddle.
Great so far

About Me Commuter
After 2 years with one pair of LG shorts, I finally got a second pair. I commute 13 miles each way on a road bike and the padding in these is far better than in my LG shorts (I don't remember which ones, but they probably cost half as much and now are 2 years old). The pad is a bit stiff, but not uncomfortable walking and not noticeable riding. What is noticeable is I don't hurt like I do with my LG shorts. I wear these commuting, mountain biking, and mountain unicycling and they work well for all 3. They have a shorter waist than the LG, which is great. They also have a shorter inseam, so I think they may not do as well with my leg warmers when that time comes. I am 5'10, 155', 32" waist. I bought a medium and wear them fine, but the large may be better. These are pretty tight on my thighs so I have to pull each leg to get them up all the way. My LGs have endured machine washing incredibly well. I hope these do the same and hope the large logo fades quickly.

Heading down the aisle? There should be plenty of room.
Gannett reports 38 percent of women ages 15 to 44 have never been married, according to the National Center for Health Statistics, up from 33 percent in 1995.
Blacks were most likely never to have tied the knot, at 55 percent, with U.S.-born Hispanics coming in next, at 49 percent, then Asians, at 39 percent, and whites, at 34 percent, the news service adds.
Galena Rhoades, a researcher at the Center for Marital and Family Studies at the University of Denver, says the numbers show a "delay in getting married for the first time" and that "more people are cohabiting," Gannett reports.
What about you? Did you say "I Do" to a wedding? Or do you think getting hitched is a big ol' don't? Leave a comment below!

|Charlston recognized by WAC
DENVER - Idaho sophomore post player Alyssa Charlston has been named the Verizon Western Athletic Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Week for Dec. 26-Jan. 1. This is the first WAC Player of the Week honor of her career.
The Sammamish, Wash., native earned all-tournament team honors at the Montana Invitational after averaging 18.0 points on 50 percent shooting from the field and 71 percent shooting from three-point range, 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 blocks as the Vandals went 1-1.
Charlston had a career-high 30 points in Idaho's one-point loss to Southern Miss on 10-of-16 shooting. She went a perfect 5-for-5 from three-point range in the game and hit 5-of-6 free throws. Her 30 points are the most by a Vandal this season, as are her five three-pointers and 10 field goals made in a game. She opened the week with six points, six rebounds and two blocks in 19 minutes of action in Idaho's win vs. North Dakota, despite sitting the final 18:31 of the first half after two quick personal fouls.
"Last year Alyssa was a role player with four really good seniors on the team," Idaho coach Jon Newlee said. "This year we're counting on her a lot more as a leader and she has really come into her own."
Charlston and the Vandals return to action with two home games in the Cowan Spectrum this week. Idaho hosts North Dakota on Tuesday with a 6 p.m. tipoff, before welcoming Seattle University to the Spectrum on Jan. 5 at 5:30 p.m.
"We're getting better every week," Newlee said of his team. "We're a work in progress, but we are a lot better basketball team than we were when the season began."

Pearl has been adopted!
Born to a blue-eyed Siamese-mix mama, with a very fluffy gray and white dad (now neutered!), these little tykes were abandoned on the street at around 5 or 6 weeks old, in a mid-Peninsula neighborhood, without food, water or shelter. They were taken in to their rescuer's home, returned to good health, and have continued to thrive on affection and good food.
Pearl is the more adventuresome and independent of the pair, though loves a good snuggle with you. Pearl is especially fond of male humans, so if you have one of those in your home, she will be devoted to him. Both these girls are sweet and super friendly, very bonded to each other, and very social with both people and other cats. The adult cat in some of the photos is an 'uncle' (not available for adoption) who lives in their foster home, and dotes on the kittens.
This pair will be a terrific addition to any household, and especially great for first-time kitty owners, and for families with gentle children.
The Fine Print — While Community Cat Rescue would love to make our adoptable cats and kittens available to everyone, everywhere, we must limit our adoption service area to San Francisco Peninsula cities and towns. We simply do not have the volunteer-power or financial resources to make home visits (required for all adoptions), delivery of adopted cats/kittens and follow-up visits outside the Peninsula. An occasional, rare exception might be made, but it is not the rule.
THE FINE PRINT – Adoptions limited to Peninsula locations. Exceptions possible.

Assault with night stick results in charge
Published: Thursday, February 21, 2013 at 3:16 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 21, 2013 at 3:16 p.m.
A Troy man has been charged with assaulting a man with a police night stick after an investigation by the Thomasville Police Department.
Gary Eugene Morgan, 44, of 4564 N.C. Highway 109, was arrested Thursday by the Thomasville Police Department under the charges of felony assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, assault on a female, communicating threats and misdemeanor larceny. He was placed in the Davidson County Detention Center under no bond and has a court date of March 6 in Thomasville District Court.
The charge of felony assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury stems from an incident Feb. 12, according to an arrest warrant.
The 31-year-old victim is the boyfriend of Morgan's wife, from whom he is separated, police confirmed.
TPD Det. Sgt. Brad Saintsing said the incident occurred at a residence on West Holly Hill Road. He said the boyfriend was transported by Davidson County EMS to Thomasville Medical Center.
It wasn't immediately clear whether the boyfriend was still a patient or if he had been released Thursday afternoon.
It was unclear how Morgan obtained the night stick. Saintsing said Morgan is not a law enforcement officer.
Morgan's wife filed a magistrate complaint form Nov. 30, 2012, alleging he choked her the day before in Thomasville. Warrants in connection to that incident were also served on him Thursday morning.
The wife alleged through the magistrate complaint that her husband stole a cell phone, a laptop computer and purse with personal items valued at $900. He also threatened to kill her, according to a warrant.

Volleyball Drops Heartbreaker At Harvard, Resumes EIVA Play At Sacred Heart
Despite rallying from a 2-1 deficit and fighting off one match ball, the Princeton men's volleyball team found itself on the wrong end of an EIVA thriller Friday night in the Malkin Athletic Center in Boston. Harvard remained perfect at home in league play with a 3-2 win over the Tigers, which included a 15-13 victory in the fifth set.
Princeton took the opening set 25-23, then had to overcome two lost sets by winning the fourth comfortably 25-18. Outside of an early 2-1 lead, the Tigers spent most of the fifth set playing uphill, but they fought off one match ball at 14-12 before finally falling 15-13.
The loss drops Princeton to 10-8 overall, 8-4 in EIVA play, while Harvard improved to 14-7, 7-3. Though Princeton has already clinched one of the league's four postseason spots, it will likely need to win the last two league matches (Saturday night at Sacred Heart, April 20 vs. George Mason) to stay away from a semifinal match against Penn State.
Junior Pat Schwagler led Princeton with 18 kills, while sophomore Cody Kessel recorded a double-double with 14 kills and 12 digs. Senior captain Michael Dye had eight kills and three blocks, while junior setter Davis Waddell had 47 assists and six kills. He added to Princeton's .286 team attack percentage with a .556 mark of his own.
Sophomore libero Tony Ensbury had 11 digs for Princeton, while freshman outside Devin Stearns had seven kills and seven digs.
Princeton will take on Sacred Heart Saturday at 4 pm. The Pioneers showed they are doing far more than playing out the string Friday night, as they pushed George Mason to five sets before falling 15-12 in the fifth. Princeton defeated Sacred Heart 3-1 at Dillon Gym earlier this season.

Traditional vaccines deliver dead or inactive viruses in order to elicit immunity. Today, researchers at Vanderbilt University report a new approach to activating dendritic cell response—they've developed a new vaccine that used tiny gold particles called nanorods to mimic the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and deliver specific proteins to the immune cells.
Writing in Nanotechnology, Vanderbilt's James Crowe, M.D., and his colleagues report their generation of gold nanorods—21 nm wide, 57 nm long—which they coated with RSV F proteins. The resulting structures closely matched the shape and size as the virus itself, they report.
Dr. Crowe and his colleagues then sought to evaluate the ability of these gold nanorods to effectively deliver RSV F proteins to dendritic cells derived from adult blood samples, analyzing T cell proliferation as a proxy for immune reponse. The protein-coated nanorods, they found, elicited a greater proliferation of T cells than either non-coated nanorods or the F protein alone.
"A vaccine for RSV, which is the major cause of viral pneumonia in children, is sorely needed. This study shows that we have developed methods for putting RSV F protein into exceptionally small particles and presenting it to immune cells in a format that physically mimics the virus. Furthermore, the particles themselves are not infectious," Dr. Crowe said in a statement. He added that this gold nanorod-based approach could be useful for other vaccines, beyond the one his team created targeting RSV.
"This platform could be used to develop experimental vaccines for virtually any virus, and in fact other larger microbes such as bacteria and fungi," Dr. Crowe said, adding that "the next steps … would be to test whether or not the vaccines work in vivo."
"Gold nanorod vaccine for respiratory syncytial virus" was published in Nanotechnology June 25.

Old-Fashioned Carrot Cake RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
4.5 11 5
MY FAMILY thinks this is the best carrot cake ever! We love the moist texture. The surprise is in the frosting. It's a pleasant departure from the usual cream cheese frosting that tops most carrot cakes. This cake doesn't last very long around our house! -Muriel Doherty, Phoenix, Arizona
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 cups finely shredded carrots
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1-1/2 cups vegetable oil
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup milk
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Additional chopped walnuts
- In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, carrots, cream cheese and oil until well blended. Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; gradually add to carrot mixture. Stir in pineapple and nuts.
- Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Remove to a wire rack to cool.
- In a heavy saucepan, cook and stir flour and milk over medium-low heat until a thick paste forms, about 10 minutes. Chill for 30 minutes. In a large mixer, cream the butter, sugars and salt until light and fluffy. Beat in the chilled flour mixture until smooth, about 5 minutes. Beat in vanilla. Frost cake. Sprinkle with nuts. Yield: 12-16 servings.

Still, it took me forever (actually right up until about 2 minutes ago) to come up with a plan for this quilt. But one just dropped into my lap (almost literally):
Innocent Crush!
The funny thing is, I had settled on something completely different. I wasn't loving it (which is always a recipe for disaster), but it was the best I could come up with. You see, I really want a nice cuddle-up-on-the-couch quilt for my family room. The problem is that my family room is decorated in golden browns, dark browns, and earthy greens, with a few rusty red accents here and there. I like my family room décor, but that color scheme does not a good modern quilt make. So I had a plan for a quilt that didn't exactly match, but was at least neutral-ish. It was ... okay, I guess.
But just as I was about to blog about my other plan, I saw the mail truck go by outside my house, so I decided to go get the mail first. And what did I find?
This tasty little fat quarter. It was part of my "fat quarter surprise" prize package from Stitched In Color's giveaway with Sew Love Fabrics. And hey—it looks great in my family room! Check it out!
I got straight online and ordered a few more of the warmer prints from the line. Those will be the squares. The background pieces will be Kona Bone, and the narrow "lattice" pieces will be Moda Bella Solids Fig Tree Olive. I think I'm already in love with this quilt, based on this one little fat quarter! Can't wait to get the rest of the fabric and get started!
Thank you so much to Stitched In Color and Sew Love. All of the fat quarters I got from Sew Love are fabulous—look, there's some Weekends by Erin McMorris and Wonderland in there too! Woo hoo! And that envelope could not possibly have come at a better moment. : )
Oh, one more thing: Today AnneMarie at GenX Quilters is featuring my Advent Calendar tutorial! Be sure to check out GenX Quilters if you haven't already—it's a great gathering place for all us young(ish) quilters.

Brown Deals Womens Basketball Second Ivy Loss, 61-58
Box Score
For the first time in nearly five years a team not named Harvard handed the Princeton women's basketball team an Ivy League loss, as the Tigers suffered a 61-58 upset at Brown Saturday night in Providence, R.I.
Princeton (18-7, 9-2) now sits in an unfamiliar spot with two Ivy losses and no longer maintains sole possession of first place, sharing with Penn. The Tigers do still control their own destiny with three final conference games at home, including a regular season finale versus the Quakers.
Princeton put together its best attempt at control midway through the second half behind Annie Tarakchian's individual effort. For the second straight week the sophomore provided life off the bench, setting up a Tiger 7-0 run to take their first lead since the opening minutes, 46-42, with 10:39 left in regulation. In less than 60 seconds she had five points, a pair of rebounds, a steal and forced a jump ball.
She finished with nine points, seven rebounds and a game-high four steals.
From there the score would be tied three more times, including a Kristen Helmstetter triple to make it 57-57 with 1:34 left.
Helmstetter's play was key in Princeton staying within range throughout the 40-minute battle. In 39 minutes, she scored a team-high 20 points and grabbed a game-high eight boards.
Similar to the first half the Tigers were unable to contain the game's momentum and make a final push, seeing Brown close things out with a 4-1 run to earn the victory.
Princeton struggled from the field, shooting 32.3 percent (20-for-62), while Brown was 22-for-42 (52.4 percent). The Tigers did force 22 turnovers, which they converted to 28 points, but Brown relied on its 10-6 three-point advantage to create cushions throughout the evening.
The Bears opened with a 4-0 run, foreshadowing a game of runs and surges. Four Helmstetter points guided a 6-0 Tiger run to give them their first lead at 16:48.
Princeton appeared to find its flow, but it abruptly ended behind a Lauren Clarke triple that changed the landscape for the remainder of the first half.
The Bears' lead grew as high as eight, 25-17, at 7:14, before Helmstetter and Amanda Bernsten carried the Tigers on another six-point uncontested run to make it a three-point ball game.
Princeton continued to get close to seizing control, but never could parlay it into something definitive and trailed 35-27 at halftime.
Berntsen finished with nine points, three assists and three steals in 24 minutes off the bench, and Blake Dietrick added 13 points.
The Tigers will look to rebound next weekend, hosting Cornell (Mar. 7) and Columbia (Mar. 8).
Postgame Notes: The loss ended Princeton's 14-game winning streak versus Brown … the Bears dealt Princeton only their fourth Ivy loss since 2010 … Princeton now shares first place in the Ivy League with Penn.

Aggressive Hot line for Cyclist
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
This weekend I did my first ride of the year north of Highway 66 and every time I ride out there I realize how much of a "cycling bubble" I live in. Now the state has setup a method to help report and possible catch those drivers who act aggressive to cyclist. The number is *277 and when calling this number keep the following in mind
- Vehicle license plate number - this is mandatory
- Location and direction of travel
- Vehicle and driver description, if possible
- The aggressive driving behavior being demonstrated

Behind the Photo of Invisible Children's Founders Posing with Guns
The Stop Kony2012 campaign video, which has now been viewed 55 million times on YouTube, has unleashed criticism about the video's creators, followed by a backlash against the backlash.
The video, created by the charity Invisible Children, calls for intervention to bring Ugandan rebel Joseph Kony, leader of the Lord's Resistance Army, to justice. It is being criticized by Ugandans, NGOs working in Uganda and neigboring countries where the LRA operates, academics and the press.
Amidst the controversy there has been an outcry over a 2008 news photo showing Invisible Children's founders posing with machine guns amidst members of the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA), which has battled the LRA. Photographer Glenna Gordon took the photo on assignment for AP in 2008, Ri-Kwangba, on the Sudan-Congo border, during peace talks between the Ugandan government and the LRA.
Gordon notes on her blog, www.scarlettlion.com that Vice magazine used the image without her permission –and without a caption – to illustrate its article "Should I Donate Money to Invisible Children?" That's a valid question, she says, but just as the Kony 2012 video is being criticized for its lack of context, Gordon says her photo needs context, too. Without it, she says, the image "continues to perpetuate misinformation and to mythologize the film makers as bad asses, a practice I do not support." She says she tried to publish more information about what she calls the "questionable practices" of the founders but "no publication would bite."
The Washington Post has just published an extensive interview with Gordon. She is asked for her reaction to Invisible Children's work and the video, and her thoughts on the photo:
Q. Invisible Children has received some criticism that their efforts and this photo seem "colonialist," or hint at the "white man's burden." What do you say to that?
Gordon: I think all of those things are true. The photo plays into the myth that Invisible Children are very much actively trying to create. They even used the photo on their official response page. I don't think they think there is a problem with the idea that they are colonial. This photo is the epitome of it, like, we are even going to hold your guns for you.
Invisible Children's Jason Russell disagrees, the Post reports. Russell, who is shown in the photo along with colleagues Bobby Bailey and Laren Poole of Invisible Children, says they wanted to meet and film members of the SPLA to get their reaction to the peace talks.
"And because Bobby, Laren and I are friends and had been doing this for 5 years, we thought it would be funny to bring back to our friends and family a joke photo. You know, 'Haha – they have bazookas in their hands but they're actually fighting for peace.' The ironic thing about this photo is that I HATE guns. I always have. Back in 2008 I wanted this war to end, like we all did, peacefully, through peace talks. But Kony was not interested in that; he kept killing."
The full interview with Gordon, and links to both criticism of the campaign and the reaction by Invisible Children, is on Washington Post.
Correction: an earlier version of this story misstated the location at which the image was taken. Apologies for this error.

If you want to see the real Midwest, the "Heartland" of the United States, get off the highway.
Having survived the Niagara Falls crowds without flinging ourselves over the railing in a barrel, we were on a mission – Penguins at the Aquarium of Niagara on the New York side. Not just any penguins, but yes, the rare Peruvian penguin. Do these guys know how cute they are waddling around? Watching them during feeding time was a treat. Word is this small aquarium is one of only a few to house these birds. The pink and white fellows were oddly likeable in an ugly ducking kind of way. We wanted to jump in and protect them ourselves. Son and Daughter bought "Please Feed the Penguins" t-shirts at the gift shop.
Cutting across Ontario from Stratford we passed through wine country and landed in the charming Niagara-on-the-Lake. It is easy to see why it has been dubbed "the prettiest town in Canada". Niagara-on-the-Lake is seriously British with its clock tower, curved awnings and wrought-iron lampposts.
By the time we got to Stratford, in rural Ontario we'd driven 1000 miles since leaving home. With time to see just one place before Niagara it was clear where we needed to go.
Give a kid a 150 foot sand dune to climb and even Nintendo takes a back seat. It was out of the way – the pinkie of Michigan.s "mitten" – but that just made it more appealing. We wanted someplace remote and real and that's what we found.
From Wisconsin's Door County we ambled across Michigan's remote Upper Peninsula on a two lane road glimpsing seagulls hovering over the vast bays of Lake Michigan. Destination: little Mackinac Island at the top of Michigan's "mitten".
Eclectic! Offbeat! Those were the words I hoped would describe our Great Lakes Road Trip.
Whether you are decorating your home, your personal office, or your workplace making sure that you not only create an aesthetically appealing design but also one that is practical, functional, and shows your personality is crucial. Before you start rearranging furniture, adding accent pieces, remodeling, or repainting make sure that you have a plan in place. Here are a few things beginners should consider for their interior design:
With the Suzuki SX4 crossover, it is going to be a very popular choice however there is a massive drawback to the fact that with this engine there will only be one type of engine to choose from. There will be the classic 1.6 petrol engine that reaches a big 118bhp but not as great as you might think when it comes to revving the engine, that is something to watch out for however. This won't be the best type of car that you can drive but the engine can be pushed all the way and you will find the speeds over this is perfect, fast and reliable.
The Chevrolet Captiva is going to be one of the most powerful cars on the market today though it will be a quite expensive car depending on how you look at it. Some would say that twenty grand is a lot of money to pay out especially if the price could reach up to thirty thousand pounds.
The Toyota RAV4 crossover are going to be a very popular choice, there are only going to be two options over the engines however which will be the 2.0 litre Valve matic petrol engine which reaches 156bhp and the second 2.2D-4D diesel engine that can reach a good 148bhp. The good thing about the diesel engine is that this is a strong and powerful engine but then again it can be quite loud at many times but the power is still good enough.
If we have to be completely honest about the performance over this car then it is going to be that it ranks a mere two out of five stars which is very disappointing in deed. This is not going to be very impressive if you are going to look for the performance over a lot more things in a car; this is going to be a big factor however performance wise, you obviously want to have a good performance in a car but you might need to think about the other features needed with a car if it is to be successful.

Twenty-eight years after a newspaper columnist spurred Windermere and UW to create one of the rowing's greatest annual spectacles, the Windermere Cup has attracted the best crews from Great Britain's international-champion national program. The dual-race showdowns are Saturday inside the roaring Montlake Cut.

UW Athletics Director of Writing

SEATTLE � The British were going to bring younger, more novice national crews to the 28th Windermere Cup.
Then they remembered the Huskies.
They remembered what their hosts during this week did to them last July at their famed Royal Henley Regatta on the River Thames outside London.
Oh, yes, the British men -- the winningest program at the last Olympics, a systematic machine UW Director of Rowing and Olympic-winning coach Bob Ernst calls the world's finest rowing system -- remembers Washington's varsity eight. They lived through the Huskies, the only collegians in the Grand Challenge Cup final field of national teams, equaling Germany's previous record time in the Royal Henley, which was first raced in 1839. The veteran British had to set their own, new course record last summer to beat the Huskies, who had just raced the day before in the semifinals. It was the Huskies' first defeat since 2010, and it came a month after UW won its third consecutive U.S. national championship, and fourth in five years. The Huskies left behind at Henley an enhanced reputation as one of the finest university programs not only in America but the world.
Plus, the British know of the Windermere Cup's internationally renowned, one-of-a-kind setting, the sport's closest thing to rowing inside a football stadium. Tens of thousands of Northwest natives will be roaring on the close banks of the Montlake Cut again on Saturday morning. It's a raucous scene that would likely overwhelm newbie rowers. Even the vets admit they have never seen anything like what awaits them this weekend.
"We initially thought about a bit more of a development crew," Rob Dauncey, the coach of Team Great Britain's heavyweight men's eight, said Wednesday. "But then when we thought and remembered about the tough racing Washington gave us at Henley last year, where in the Grand eight and the Ladies Plate eight (final) we just managed to get past Washington. We thought maybe we ought to stiffen up our crew and, you know, give it a bit more power."
The coach later added with only a trace of a grin: "Obviously, as a national team, we sort of expect to win."
"This is the best competition we've had for a Windermere Cup since the very first one, with the Soviets coming here in 1987. It is absolutely the best rowing program in the world."
Dauncey arrived Monday with an eight-man crew that includes six members of the Great Britain team that raced in the 2013 world championships. It is led by 27-year-old Daniel Ritchie, who won a gold medal last year in the men's eight. After Saturday's Windermere Cup kicks off its racing season, Team GB will compete in the European championships next month and in this year's world finals in August.
This, as Ernst likes to say, is the real deal.
"This is the best competition we've had for a Windermere Cup since the very first one, with the Soviets coming here in 1987," Ernst said. "It is absolutely the best rowing program in the world."
The Windermere Cup has come to this in over a quarter century. It's come from a challenge thrown out in 1986 by former Seattle Times sports columnist Blaine Newnham to UW to make the annual opening day to Seattle's boating season a rowing competition more world-class, a challenge Windermere Real Estate founder John Jacobi read in his Sunday paper 28 years ago this week. Jacobi then teamed with Ernst and late, legendary UW rowing coach Dick Erickson to create what is now an event so highly regarded internationally, world champions wouldn't dare bring anything but their best to compete in it.
Saturday's Windermere Cup will be the first one with just two entrants each in the women's and men's finals that begin just after 11:30 a.m. at the Pacific Northwest's biggest free sporting spectacle. This year, it's two, dual-race grudge matches for the crystal, custom-made-in-Czechoslovakia Windermere Cup.
"We've brought the best," Huskies men's coach Michael Callahan said of the challenge facing his young team.
Last week the Huskies, ranked second, took down No. 1 and archrival California on the Golden Bears' home course. That has injected even more belief into a program that has won five of the last eight IRA national championships and last year swept all five grand finals � from freshman through JV and varsity � at them.
"The best." It befits this remarkable event. And its venue.
This was my view from the 2 seat of the KIRO-television eight-man (and woman) boat Tuesday morning. That's Husky Stadium's jawed rooftops, in Union Bay beyond the east entrance to the Montlake Cut, one of the world's most unique rowing courses.�
This is the start of the stretch through which the powerful Soviet Union blew away the Huskies and everyone else in the first Windermere Cup in 1987, fulfilling Newnham's, Windermere's and UW's hope to add spice to this event.
"I never heard a single word of the coxswain during the race, the people were so loud,"
Soviet rower Andrej Vasiljev said that day. "Even the finals of the world championships are not as impressive as this."
I took the picture just before the start of the two media races that kicked off Windermere Cup week. KIRO was kind enough to take me on their crew, even though you probably have more rowing experience than I do.
We finished third � ahead of, ahem, KING-5, I should add, in the second, "grudge" match going back through the Cut west to east. At least that race had a stationary start. The first race, into the Cut from the east as the Huskies and British will race Saturday, began with a surprise: A scattered, almost shotgun-like start that left our boat behind. We never caught up over the approximately 300-meter sprint, far less than the 2,000-meter distance for Saturday's Windermere Cup.
Once I got my oar more "squared" into the water for my strokes � thanks, my patient, veteran, 3-seat and bow neighbors bracketing me with advice � I did OK. That is to say, I didn't "catch a crab" and topple the boat/entire crew into part of Lake Washington.
All the while, Callahan was roasting me from his Huskies' coaches' launch through his megaphone. I mean, he gleefully heckled me as if I was a Cougar inside Husky Stadium.
Seems UW's rowers don't take pictures while training.
"YOU HAVE YOUR PHONE OUT HERE?!!!" Callahan bellowed at me, his voice rising out of the megaphone to emphasize his mock and his disbelief.
When he wasn't saying that, the veteran of a Navy family was razzing me for being an Army guy miscast on the water.
But that wasn't the most humbling moment for me or our KIRO team. That came a few minutes later when Great Britain's men's eight sped by us in perfect unison while on a short training row. It was as if our boat was anchored to the bottom of Union Bay. And the British were barely breathing.
Britain sent its national women's team to two previous Windermere Cups, in 1998 when it won and 2002 when it finished behind UW and Stanford. This is the first time the British men's and women's teams are competing at the same Windermere Cup.
When we got back to the dock the British were carrying their borrowed boat back into Conibear Shellhouse. We remarked to the visitors how fast they were out there. When I added "You looked like you were barely trying," a tall, formidable British rower looked at me with a deadpan expression.
He didn't answer. He just chuckled.
The immediate takeaway from the racing: It's not so much how powerful your individual stroke is; if it's not in absolutely lock-step synchronization with the other seven rowers in your boat, you won't win.
The races made me appreciate not only how well-conditioned, strong and sleek the Huskies' champion rowers are, but how exquisitely and intimately connected each of their movements must be. They are like a world-class orchestra, on water instead of inside a bandshell.
KOMO TV won the media race and its trophy � as it should have. Sports director Mike Ferreri rowed at the University of Iowa and has had his KOMO team practicing for the media race since, oh, about last June.
Ferreri's spirit and coordination, plus the efforts of Windermere Real Estate's Mary Lynn Thompson and Shelley Rossi and their staffs, made this fun race on a gloriously warm, sunny spring day the best of any Windermere Cup preliminary yet.
When it ended, Ferreri accepted the media-race crystal cup from Matt Lacey, executive director of the Pocock Rowing Center that is located under the University Bridge on Portage Bay. Ferreri handed the trophy to Dan Lewis, the veteran who has been with KOMO since 1987. Lewis recently announced he was stepping away from his news anchor position. He asked with a smile if he could come back next year and race for KOMO "as an alumnus."
"You can be in my boat any time," Ferreri said to Lewis, who then kissed the trophy.
The British rowers patiently waited for all the novices to clear their training space, as the eight of us in red lifted and put away our Pocock training boat from the dock into the storage garage.
It is fitting we were racing in a Pocock, and that Lacey from Pocock was presenting the trophies for the media-race event at Conibear Shellhouse.
Hiram Conibear, coach of Washington's then-infantile rowing program, learned through rowing circles of these British brothers and their shell building. Conibear, the "Father of Washington Crew," traveled to 150 miles north from Seattle to Vancouver and rowed out to the floating shop in Coal Harbour, on Burrard Inlet between downtown and Vancouver's Stanley Park, of George and Dick Pocock. He offered the British brothers and shipbuilders a job to build the Huskies' eight-year-old rowing program a dozen racing shells. As Jim Daves and W. Thomas Porter describe in their 2001 book "The Glory of Washington: The People and Events that Shaped the Husky Athletic Tradition," the brothers agreed to visit UW in the summer of 1912. Conibear offered the Pococks as a boat-building home the Tokio Caf�, which had been built in 1909 for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Expedition on the edge of Portage Bay and Lake Union, beyond the west edge of the UW campus. At the time, the Huskies' varsity crew house was the U.S. Life Saving Station on Lake Union.
The Englishmen weren't overly impressed, but they agreed to build Conibear his 12 boats. Problem was, the UW coach was only able to secure initial funding for one. Dick and his father Aaron, who by now had sailed from England to join his sons in the Northwest, moved from Vancouver to Seattle to build Conibear's Rogers. It was named for William H. Rogers, the owner of the Seattle candy and ice cream company that donated $200 to build the Huskies' new shell in 1912.
Conibear's growing program using the Pococks' first custom boat attracted the Intercollegiate Rowing Association. In 1913 it invited Conibear and the Huskies onto the Hudson River in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., as the first crew from the west to compete in the IRA's annual regatta. Once UW and then Cal raced in them, the IRAs became the de facto national championships of college rowing.
By 1926, Washington had won three IRA national titles in four years � and built the foundation of the legacy George Pocock and Husky rowers have passed down to each other through a century of excellence at UW.
"It's a great art, is rowing," begins Pocock's famous quote on the sport he helped grow in the early 1900s. "It's the finest art there is. It's a symphony of motion and when you're rowing well, why it's nearing perfection. You're touching the divine. It touches the you of you's, which is your soul."
It touched the British souls into coming here for Saturday's 28th Windermere Cup, though Windermere funding their travel costs from England didn't hurt, either.
And, even if for only one morning, it touched our souls on the docks of Conibear Shellhouse on a glorious Tuesday in Seattle.
"The Windermere Cup and opening of the boating season is fantastic," Pocock's Lacey said to us at the trophy presentation following the media race. "It's like Christmas in Seattle for rowing."
The British were escorted Tuesday by local volunteers on a short shopping trip to Northgate Mall; the UW bookstore is also an annual Windermere Cup favorite for visiting crews, to stock up on Huskies gear to take home. Great Britain's teams also enjoyed what their coaches called tremendous steaks Tuesday night at Daniel's Broiler on South Lake Union. After Wednesday's training they went on the "Crews' Cruise," the trip sponsored by the Seattle Yacht Club that takes the visitors out on private boats into Lake Washington, past the 520 bridge and, of course, Bill Gates' lakeside estate.
"Everyone wants to see Bill Gates' house," SYC's Michelle Shaw said.
Thursday night the Huskies and British teams will be back in Conibear for the customary Windermere Cup athletes' dinner two nights before the races. Friday has some training and some free time.
That's the night that some other, veterans who have come to race at Windermere Cups have indulged in as much as Seattle as they could get -- namely Australia. The 1996 Olympic champions partied their way in 1997 to getting beaten by the Huskies the next morning in what remains the Windermere Cup's greatest upset.
I've been told these British mostly 25-ish year olds are under a strict training regimen that is limiting their chances for too many shenanigans.
Yet I somewhat playfully asked Dauncey, Great Britain's men's national-team coach, if he might let his guys loose on Seattle for some fun. He allowed that "perhaps" there could be time for that.

O.B. Jacobi, the president of Windermere Real Estate and the company founder's son, then showed he was a good Husky man � one keenly interested in the home team continuing its domination of seven consecutive Windermere Cup championships, and 11 of the past 12.
"If they want to go out Friday night," a smiling Jacobi told Dauncey, "we can certainly make that happen."

A self-taught painter, Sivek began showing her works in 1994. 2011, Sivek had impressed of several art galleries including Park City's Terzian Galleries, who displayed her "Dress" series.
During that year's Sundance Film Festival, the series captivated a visiting Oprah Winfrey, who purchased some art for her private collection.
Sivek was thrilled that Winfrey bought a painting.
"I was ecstatic about that, of course, and I was very happy that she liked my work," Sivek said during a phone interview from her studio in Chicago, Ill. "The 'Dress' series is about catching someone's eye through seemingly little things that mean the world to you when you're little, and then remembering those feelings and special moments when you are older. That's when those memories become wrapped in nostalgia.
"I never thought about being recognized when I started painting," she said. "Art was always about the process and seeing what is inside of me and how to get that out."
The Terzian Galleries, 309 Main St., will host Sivek when she returns to Park City for an artist reception on Saturday, Dec. 15, at 5:30 p.m.
Memories are the inspiration for Sivek's works, whether she's painting her trademark structures and buildings or abstracts.
"Art is very connected to who you are and your upbringing and childhood, and that's where some of my works come from," she explained. "I have been attached to houses and structures and architecture since I was little. I've loved drawing and painting houses since I was little and I believe it's because of what a house means - warmth, shelter and where you go at the end of the day."
Sivek is also attracted to larger examples of architecture and engineering.
"I have been inspired by the Chrysler Building in New York quite a bit, because, to me, it's a symbol of beauty," she said. "It's funny, because I started using that particular building in my works after I read an article about (artist) Daniel Libeskind, who moved to the U.S. from Germany to work on Ground Zero in New York.
"He moved into an apartment that had a little tiny window in his bathroom," Sivek said. "From that tiny window, he could see the top of the Chrysler Building and I was so taken by that, because it seemed, to me, that is was so out of context."
Sivek's abstracts come from how she feels when she starts her day.
"Some of the abstracts have layers of paint and are very thick and some do not," she said with a laugh. "I come to work every morning and do what comes to mind. I turn on music and just get it out."
Sivek even injects some Western images into her works.
"I love the cowboys," she said and giggled. "We used to go see movies when I was a child that were supposed to be about cowboys, but were filmed in Czechoslovakia. All the actors spoke Czech, but I liked the images."
Sivek's initial interest in visual arts has been with her since she was in grade school.
"I remember my teacher in fifth grade asking the class what we would want to be when we grew up. I said I wanted to be a painter," she said. "I felt so far away from that achievement, but I kept drawing, painting and developing my style."
When she was 10, her father gave her a set of oil paints.
"I didn't know how to use them, and the first thing I did was
I ran and got a cup of water to use with the paints," Sivek said with a laugh. "I learned quickly that water and oils don't work together. Ever since then, I learned to figure things out on my own."
By the time she moved to the United States, Sivek had developed her style, but her philosophies had changed.
"Growing up in Communism, I felt it was normal, but when I came to the democratic lifestyle of the United States, I realized how stifling that environment was," she said. "I think the freedom comes out in my works. But the overall experience is positive, because what I did as a child is priceless."
Sivek also knows that while she has established a style, her works will continue to evolve.
"Art is a process and it's about who you are," she said. "I know my art will develop until the day I die, and that's how it should be.
"I have always needed to create art, because it's who I am," she said. "I love what I do and it's a lifestyle that is connected to me."
The Terzian Galleries, 309 Main St., will host an artist reception for Marketa Sivek, on Saturday, Dec. 15, from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. Admission is free. For more information, visit www.terziangalleries.com.

WHEELING, W.Va. - Things are changing rapidly in the dental health world. For starters, iPads are replacing traditional waiting room magazines while needles and drills are giving way to high-tech tools and procedures.
Patients also are getting appointment verification messages via email or through texting.
Dr. Eleisha Nickoles, owner of Cosmetic and Family Dentistry at 1320 National Road in Wheeling and past president of the 75-member Wheeling District Dental Society, said new technology is removing much of the fear stigma formally associated with a trip to the dentist.

Visitors to the dental office of Dr. Eleisha Nikoles in Wheeling will not find magazines to pass time. Instead, iPads are offered for patients awaiting their time in the chair.
"We now have computerized delivery of anesthesia, which is much more comfortable to the patient than traditional numbing methods," she said.
As an alternative to the needle and drill, dentists now can employ air abrasion dentistry.
Nickoles said air abrasion dentistry is a conservative, less traumatic alternative to the high-speed drill. It allows the dentist to selectively remove decay, leaving a healthier tooth structure. The procedure can often be done without anesthesia.
"Without a shot, you will have fewer visits to your dentist because he or she can often do more than one cavity restoration at a time," she said.
Another new technology is the Diagnodent, a small laser instrument that scans teeth with laser light searching for hidden decay. A pen-like probe glides over tooth surfaces, thoroughly probing for previously unseen issues.
Nickoles said, "a number scale and alarm signals the operator when there are signs of hidden decay. It is completely safe and pain free."
Same-day crowns are possible by the use of ceramic reconstruction.
"An optical 3D image is acquired with a small camera directly in the patient's mouth," Nikoles said. "The restoration is created on the screen using the image data and diamond coated instruments mill a ceramic block to reproduce the design. This is accomplished through a single appointment using Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacture."
According to Nikoles, fillings with no numbing can be done with a new hard tissue/soft tissue laser.
"We use a wand to accomplish single-tooth anesthesia," she said, "eliminating the need to numb the tongue and large part of the mouth."
Also available is a product called Oraverse, designed to reverse anesthesia numbing within one hour; and fluoride varnishing to protect against decay, sensitivity, abrasion and erosion.
Nikoles said the dental care landscape is changing as many people opt to not have dental procedures not covered by insurance.
"I understand that thinking, but it is not always what is best for the patient," she said. "Things like periodontal and other dental issues affect our overall health. They have been linked to other major non-dental health issues."
In an effort to reach out to people who have no dental insurance, Nikoles has developed what she calls her No Insurance Club.
"It is not dental insurance," she said. "It is more of a pre-paid treatment plan. A patient may pay $250 for 12 months of services, including two exams, two professional cleanings, a fluoride varnish and an oral cancer screening. Denture wearers can get a similar plan for $135."

Editor's note: The customer is always right. Right? After all, they pay your salary (as they don't hesitate to remind you). One Florida city's engineering & stormwater division receives thousands of calls each year, and every so often conversations like those below — shared by Construction Manager Donald Schrager — prove that fact is stranger than fiction when dealing with the public.
"Don, I'm transferring a call to you.""Who is it, Diane?""The [expletive] of Whittlesly Lane.""Dee, be nice!""I am! That's what she calls herself.""Don Schrager, can I help you?""This is the [expletive] of Whittlesly Lane." "What can I do for you, ma'am?"
"Don Schrager, how can I help you?""THEY RESURFACED MY ROAD THE OTHER DAY!""Yes, sir, they did. Is there a problem?""HELL YES, THERE'S A PROBLEM! THEY STRIPED THE ROAD TODAY!""Is there a problem with the striping?""When I come home now, I have to go to the intersection down the street and turn around to get into my driveway! They put a double yellow line down my street, moron!""Your road was striped correctly, sir. You do realize those lines are for moving traffic?""Well, I'm moving when I pull into my driveway, aren't I?""I understand that, and I assure you it's alright to cross them to get into your driveway.""If I get a ticket I'm sending it to you!"
"How can I help you?""You resurfaced my road today.""Was there a problem?""Why did they use such black stuff? The stuff they put down is darker than the old stuff.""The old 'stuff' was bleached by the sun. Eventually the new 'stuff' will bleach as well.""Well, that makes sense to me."
"Customer service, how can I help you?""They're replacing a pipe under my road.""Yes, sir, they are.""They left a notice that I need to boil my water.""Yes, sir, as a precaution. The instructions are on the card.""Do I need to boil all of my water?""Any water you need to use.""What about the water in the toilet?"
"Don Schrager, how can I help you?""Your moron contractors finished regrading my swale yesterday!""Is there a problem sir?""They graded it so the water has to flow uphill to drain. Water doesn't flow uphill, you know.""The contractor surveys the work; I assure you it's not going uphill.""I looked at it myself and it goes uphill. I'm a retired engineer and I can tell.""Is it still raining at your house?""Yes.""Can you see the direction the water is flowing?""It's running down toward the ditch."
"Customer Service, how can I help you?""They're replacing a pipe under my road.""Yes, sir, they are.""They left a tag on my door that they needed to turn off my water at 9 a.m.""That's correct, sir.""It's almost 9:30 and I still have water.""Hold on and let me see what I can do." Customer service representative grabs a cup of coffee and calls the inspector to verify that the water is off. "Thank you for holding, sir. Can you go check your water now?""It's off. Wow, you're good!"
Of course, the humor isn't limited to telephone interaction with residents. The following exchange took place during a home visit:"City services, anyone home?""In the garage. Come on in."Upon entering, the inspector is greeted by an elderly overweight man who's completely naked."Sir, you need to put some clothes on.""One second." The gentleman rummages through a pile of dirty clothes and finds a pair of underwear. "Is that better?""Sir, I'll come back when it's a better time for you.""What's your problem?"

We're in Charlottesville, VA
Incredible mindreading trick! The stunning effect this trick will have on your audience cannot be described!
The Mental Epic trick uses a board divided into six sections. In the three top sections, you secretly write your predictions to the answers that you think will be given by three spectators (example: a birthdate, a set of initials, and a playing card). After the predictions are covered, the spectators give their answers, which you write in the lower boxes on the board. When the predictions are uncovered- they match the spectators' answers!
Really startling effect gets a shocked and amazed reaction from your audience every time! It's your choice to perform it as a lighthearted magic routine, or as a serious "experiment" in psychic ability. Either way, it's a showstopper!
We carry several versions of this excellent trick. This Mental Epic is the least expensive, but requires the ability to "force".
The board is quality made for years and years of hassle-free use. The flaps on this one are attached with handy hinges, so the flaps covers cannot be misplaced or lost. You supply your own ordinary chalk to use to write on the blackboard surface of each section.
History and Trivia: Hen Fetsch introduced the concept of this trick in the 1930s.

Reverse Mortgage: Lift Me To Heaven
Written by MCreamer in HECM, Reverse Mortage, Reverse Mortgage Articles, Reverse Mortgage Opinions.
I was driving my kids to school today and heard an advertisement for a movie that was so real and so frightening that I almost drove my car off the road. The movie is called Drag Me To Hell and yet not having seen the movie, I am already scared on several levels. First of all the entire conflict starts when an elderly woman walks into her local bank to ask for an extension on her loan. The bank manager, in an attempt not to roll over and show any degree of pity, denies the extension. Oh my, the first horror is realized as I imagine myself in the elderly woman's shoes. What would I do? They could make a horror movie out of that in and of itself. But the plot thickens as the elderly woman casts an evil spell that brings fierce demons upon the bank manager, forcing her to suffer greatly before her decent into hell. Double the horror, what if loan officers who couldn't push a loan through suffered similar consequences? Not only would they not receive any commission, but they would undergo the most unpleasant of fates. Well if Forward Mortgages, and the trouble and pain people around the country are feeling in this present time, represent the path to hell, than perhaps I can offer an alternative. Allow me to tell you about the movie I want to produce. Its called Lift Me To Heaven. Its about an elderly gentleman who walks into a bank and asks for an extension on his loan, allowing him time to gather some finances. The bank manager kindly listens to the old man and finally tells him about the Revere Mortgage. The elderly man is amazed at her kindness. The bank manager explains how the reverse mortgage will allow him to pay off all of his debt as well as provide him with an income for the rest of his remaining years in the home. Now he is just ecstatic. His problems are solved and his once evil heart melts away like the Warlock in Santa Clause is Coming to Town. Now I really wanted to end the story with the old man reaching across and kissing the young pretty bank manager, thus transforming himself back into the young prince he once was. But of course that would mean that he would no longer be qualified for the reverse mortgage be much younger than the required 62 years old. But perhaps we could end the story by allowing the young bank manager/maiden, to inherit his small kingdom in years to come.

Better than any fiber I've ever had. Things just are not the same without it. This item is a must have. I suggest beginning like this: week 1 use 1 tblsp & 12oz water. Week 2 use 2 tblsp & 12oz water. Week 3 use 3 tblsp & 12oz of water. I stay with that after the 3rd week.
great fiber

I have had IBS with prominent diarrhea for many years now. Have been using this for 2 weeks now and have become a huge fan already. It has greatly relieved my symptoms. I would however caution against using this with other fiber products such as All-Bran plus. I used to drink a shake every morning which I made using All-bran plus as a base. Using both gave me extreme flatulence for a few hours a day. Since I was not planning on giving up using psyllium, I quit with the shake and have had no problems since then. I highly recommend this product for anyone with IBS. It has greatly changed my life.
Neutral smell and taste + BIG BOTTLE!

Will always use!
Posted by snowfitness1 on Aug 13, 2012
I eat a whole food diet full of lots of veggies, so I get tons of fiber. BUT...I take psyllium daily because it acts like a broom in your system, and keeping your colon clean is KEY to excellent health! I recommend it highly!!!

I like it even better then "Psyllium Husk Powder" by NowFoods. It is really better kind of psyllium. Comes great for drinking, do not gathers into softling. Better for drinking. Even taske is ok. Really helps gut problems.

If I keep the pattern (index.php?module=test¶m=1) will pages be less likely to be indexed then if I use the pattern (test_param_1.html) ?
I do not believe Google says. It used to be true that test_param_1.html was better than index.php?module=test¶m=1 but I do not believe that is the case anymore for Google.
However, if your 2 examples pages are very similar in content then you will want to use a rel canonical on them so Google knows which one is the master. Otherwise your pagerank will be split between the 2.
No, URL rewriting has no positive influence on crawling or indexing; oftentimes it can even have a negative effect. For instance, many websites embed all parameters as well as plain text (eg the "title") in the URL when rewriting them, creating pages with many possible URLs (we often even see session-IDs rewritten in URLs...).
We did a blog post on this at http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2008/09/dynamic-urls-vs-static-urls.html
Personally, unless you are absolutely certain that you are able to set it up absolutely correct and that it has a measurable impact on user satisfaction (ignore the search engines for this!), then I would strongly recommend not rewriting URLs at all. We see so many big problems with sites that use URL rewriting that you should really think quite a lot about this before going down that road -- and certainly never do it just for an assumed search engine advantage.
