Get an alert for markdowns and new arrivals of Sunflair!
In 1947, ousted by the communist regime in Czechoslovakia and forced to leave with only the most meager of possessions that fortunately included a sewing machine- the Riedl family landed in the German town of Bayreuth. The family set up shop making women's underwear from used parachute silk purchased from an American airbase nearby.
The natural progression from undergarments to swimwear happened a few years later and thus was born Adolf Riedl, GmbH Company Kg. Nearly 65 years later, the Adolf Riedl GmbH, Company is the largest manufacturer of swimwear in Europe with a global presence worldwide.
Their brands, Sunflair, Opera and Sunmarin are known for an incomparable fit, the latest in fabric technology, the most unique and beautiful prints and uncompromising attention to details.
For the past three successive years, Sunflair has been the recipient of the prestigious Sous Award, for being the number one selling swimwear brand in Europe. However, Sunflair is available throughout the world, including the United States of America, Canada, Mexico, and Australia.

Villa completes $10M capital campaign
St. Joseph's Villa recently completed its five-year, $10-million capital campaign, which funded improvements to campus safety, accessibility and infrastructure. Known as the "Believing Is Seeing Campaign," this was the first large-scale fundraising campaign undertaken by the Villa in its 178-year history.
With the support of 510 campaign donors—one-third of whom gave to the Villa for the first time—the amount raised totaled more than $10.7 million. All donors were invited to witness the public unveiling of the campaign total and walkway stones set in their honor Sept. 27 at a celebration on the Villa grounds.
"The Villa's transformation literally paves the way for new and exciting opportunities to better serve the region's most at-risk and disadvantaged populations for generations to come," said Kathleen Burke Barrett, chief executive officer of St. Joseph's Villa.
The campaign helped to fund:
• a new perimeter road and pedestrian avenue to separate pedestrians from high-volume vehicular traffic and safely connect campus resources;
• increased handicapped accessibility across campus;
• a new underground infrastructure and fiber optic technology;
• a renovation of the gymnasium;
• a new culinary arts center that trains students in life and career skills;
• restoration of the central garden and green spaces to promote modern practices in outdoor learning and therapy.

Jack Thomas, an architect and a member of the Park City Planning Commission, said on Monday he will seek the mayor's office during this year's City Hall election.
Thomas is 67 years old and lives in Park Meadows. He has lived in Park City since 1992. His spot on the Planning Commission puts him in an influential position, and members of the Planning Commission have a long history of successfully winning elected office in Park City. He is serving on the Planning Commission for the second time.
Thomas said he will stress the decision-making process during the campaign. He said he wants decisions made at City Hall that are "more holistic, more contextual, with an idea toward the future."
"I want to be a little slower, contemplative and right," Thomas said.
He described a scenario that involves discussions between Park City officials and developers early in the process.
Thomas will also campaign on a platform that includes making Park City attractive to various age groups and boosting the economy.
He said Park City is losing senior citizens to other places and young people are deciding to live elsewhere.
"That in itself is not sustainable," Thomas said, adding that City Hall should address those demographics.
He said developing affordable housing is something that could ensure people of all ages live in the city.
"There are some missing strata in our people, or segments of population," Thomas said.
He wants Park City's economy to be further diversified, saying he would like more small businesses to open in the city as well as a range of business types. He said a children's clothing store would be a type of business he would support as the economy is diversified.
Thomas also says there could be better pedestrian connections between the Bonanza Park district and Prospector. He said, meanwhile, energy consumption is an important part of City Hall's wider environmental efforts.
His platform will be further developed later, he said.
Thomas sees his longtime association with Park City, stretching back to the 1950s, as something that will be unique among the candidates. He describes his association with the city as a "long-term relationship with the town for over 50 years."
His architectural portfolio includes the restoration of the Egyptian Theatre and St. Mary's Catholic Church building on S.R. 224. He has been involved in the design or the restoration of upward of six buildings on Main Street or Swede Alley. His firm's website says he was a member of the design team of the project that was built as Empire Pass.
He is the second person to launch a campaign for Park City's highest office, following City Councilman Andy Beerman. They cannot formalize their mayoral bids until June, but the early announcements have already put the campaign on the cusp of a primary. If more than two people seek the mayor's office, a primary would be held to reduce the field to two on Election Day.
Mayor Dana Williams, the three-term incumbent, is not seeking re-election.

MACON, Ga. (March 28, 2012) – For the third time this season, ETSU freshman Gabriella Wahl (Heidenheim, Germany) has been named the Atlantic Sun Conference Golfer of the Week, the league office announced Wednesday.
Wahl earned her third A-Sun honor of the year in record fashion earlier this week, setting a new program mark for three-round score thanks to a 7-under-par 209 effort in the John Kirk/Panther Intercollegiate at the Eagle's Landing Country Club.
Each of the three rounds Wahl carded over the last week bested par, and she was par or better on 51 of the 54 holes she played en route to winning her first collegiate individual title.
Wahl and the rest of the Buccaneers will return to action on April 9 at the A-Sun Championships in Deland, Fla. ETSU fans can stay up-to-date on the Bucs' progress by visiting ETSUBucs.com.

Show your Lift Ticket to receive 20% off your reservation for 2012-2013 ski season. Valid with any room type including large suites. Not valid with other discounts.
Brian Head Resort is nestled in the Dixie National Forest in Utah's "Color Country," surrounded by majestic views of red-rock spires and warm-hued canyons. It is in the heart of the Grand Circle of National Parks – which includes Zions, Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands and Arches National Parks – and adjacent to Cedar Breaks National Monument.
Brian Head Resort enjoys the best of both worlds – "The Greatest Snow on Earth®" and clear sunny days. Being located at the southern end of Utah's mountains, where winter's cold and dry arctic air from the north frequently meets the moist air from the Pacific to create abundant light powder with an average annual snowfall of nearly 400 inches. As Utah's highest ski resort with a base elevation of 9,600 feet, Brian Head Resort offers reliable snow and an extended season for downhill and cross-country skiing, snow tubing, snowboarding and snowshoeing from mid-November through mid-April. An efficient snowmaking system assists early-season openings even in a dry fall season.
Easy Access
One of Brian Head Resort's greatest attributes is its accessibility. It is Utah's closest "drive-to" destination getaway for families from the Southwestern desert region including southern Utah, Las Vegas and Southern California. Brian Head Resort is located just off all-weather Interstate 15, on State Highway 143. Las Vegas is a quick three-hour drive, and St. George, Utah is just over an hour. This Alpine retreat is also an easy day's drive from Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Salt Lake City. From California's "Inland Empire," it takes less time to drive to Brian Head than it takes to drive to Mammoth Mountain. Even in the heart of winter, excellent interstate highways are virtually free of hazardous conditions and provide easy connections. Brian Head Resort can also be reached by plane. There are regional airports in Cedar City 28 miles to the southwest, and in St. George 77 miles to the south. Private airplanes and jets can also use the Parowan airport, 12 miles northwest.

ACA Women's Summit - Keynote Speech
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Last night the standing room only ACA Women's Summit was inspiring! Much was discussed and much was on the minds of women there. No decisions were made (I don't think) but some focus was decided to create some women's cycling camps (modeled after the junior ACA camps) and to address the category issue that currently promotes women to stay cat 4's for ever. And who can blame them, if 3's only events rarely happen than for many you go from a cat 4 and then jump into the 1-2-3 field. POW and then they leave cycling for another sport.
Sarai Snyder of GirlBikeLove probably had one of the best proposals of the night, get more women on bikes! The core of much of the challenges women cycling faces are their numbers. Get more numbers and those old problems go away.
Keynote from Jennifer Triplett below
Jennifer Triplett
Good Evening!
It's always striking to me how unrecognizable people are outside of their cycling clothing. You look oddly familiar... mind pulling your hair back, sticking a helmet on and covering your face with glasses? Ah! That's it! That's where I know you from!
Thank you all for taking time out your busy schedules to meet tonight in honor of BRAC and our cycling community. Despite having Thanksgiving on the brain and I'm sure a lot of last minute preparations. It's nice to see so many people here in honor of our amazing community.
Tonight I am going to do an introduction of myself, how I was asked to be the keynote speaker, and then focus on community. Specifically, the little steps we can all take to grow from a participation standpoint as well as how we can enhance the values of our community. And lastly, a call to action.
For those who I haven't had the pleasure of meeting yet, my name is Jennifer Triplett and I race cat 2 road, cat 1 track, novice mountain and cross. I am relatively new to the front range area, and live in COS. I moved here to remove a fender rain bike from my quiver, train at altitude and let's face it: for love. I am a co-active coach and love to inspire others to live the life of their dreams, what ever that may be.
A little over a month ago, Clint Bickmore, the ACA President and I were formally introduced at the USA Cycling Coaching summit. I told him about my involvement with the WSBA and MVA in Washington and told him I'd love to get involved. He put me in touch Rachel Scott and Susan Adamkovics to see how I could get involved with the upcoming Womens Summit. I also mentioned in passing that I enjoy public speaking, gulp, and well, here I am.
My background is in boxing. However, getting hit in the face lost its appeal over time and I started looking for a new sport. A friend suggested I start commuting to work via bike and sign up for the Seattle to Portland ride. That sparked a beautiful relationship between myself and bikes. I found I enjoyed passing most men and decided to give racing a try. I spent the past 7 years racing in the soggy NW, where despite the weather they have a thriving community of female racers.
When I first started, I explored team options via meet the team rides in the fall and found a group of women who were all new to the sport and wanted to try racing. Starbucks was our sponsor. I thrived in this environment, quickly advancing through the ranks and immediately looked toward for leadership. A friend suggested I run for the Marymoor Velodrome Association board to be a female voice so I did.
Somewhat intimidated by learning a new skill on a bike without brakes, I started track racing my first year and loved it. Even though you're on a bike without brakes, you also only make left hand turns and as it turns out, I can sprint. I found myself wanting to take things to the next level and raced at regional events and found myself that first year at Nationals.
Looking back, I notice a recurring theme for myself: that I'm not afraid to try anything. I recall going to Alpenrose with its concrete 47 degree banking, large and deep fields (with several Olympians in the mix) and figuring, why not? We all start somewhere. That attitude also got me into trouble as I thought jumping in also meant attacking from the gun. Keep in mind there were Olympians in the group... and well, next thing I know I'm being lapped and discouraged. Not knowing what to do, I rolled off the track before the end of the race, started crying and called my mom. She reminded me, Jennifer! Look at where you are! You're brand new and racing against experienced women. Wipe those tears away and jump back in.
Flash forward a few years, which included wins, losses, injuries, and more community involvement. The MVA established a women's development fund, grew field sizes so we actually had to split cat 4 women categories into two per night. We even started a movement for holding a women's madison at the Grand Prix each year and had more womens team then men. We were taking action and made a difference in our community.
Then the unthinkable happened in 2008. My husband died in a tragic rock climbing accident. Life as I knew it was forever changed. And although I stuck around Seattle for 3 years after, I knew it was time to change my environment. Thankfully I had cycling to lean on. Not only from a physical activity but from a community perspective. They were there for me on a deeper level then I knew. I was just racing my bike, just being myself, but when I needed people, they responded with love and generosity. It was hard to leave that community but I knew it was time for my own growth. Here I am now, in Colorado, establishing a link to a new community.
So when I say community, I say it with great intention and value. It is a support network, a gathering of like minded people. People who I can race against and have fun. That I can laugh with and cry.
Being new to this community, I want to make an impact. I want to see it grow and strengthen. So,how do we grow this community? How do we attract more women?
I posed this question to my friend Nicola Cranmer, the Exergy Womens Director, and she said that although women represent only 15% of the USAC license holders, there's something to be said about the quality. Look at the Olympics for example. The medals were won by women. It's not just about quantity, it's quality.
On a grassroots level, there are little things we can do to welcome new faces. Think about it, women's racing is super intimidating. Seeing teams all dressed the same and not very friendly is like being thrown to a pack of wolves. I highly recommend being welcoming to a new face, introducing yourself and going going out of your way. That little engagement, such as helping pin numbers on for someone, can make a massive difference in whether they ever show up again. On group rides, seek out those new faces, welcome them. Encourage them to come back.
If we want to grow our community, then we all need to do our part. I challenge each of you at each race to find one new person, introduce yourself and make a connection.
Back to when Clint and I were talking about women's sport, he mentioned that although small in numbers, women are often the loudest voices. We want more categories, equal pay, neutral support and a list of other things. And I'm sure we could brainstorm a long list tonight of the things we would like to improve women's cycling. But in order for change to happen we need action from those voices. So I have another challenge, another opportunity to grow our community from within. And that is for every idea, for every voice heard in this room, that each of you, each of those voices commit to one action. One thing that resonates where you think change needs to happen, regardless of size or impact, to improve womens' cycling.
I also propose we start meaningful conversations. A gathering where we can brainstorm ideas and things we want to see change, pick a specific topic and then focus on it.
Together, we can make a difference. And I look forward to seeing each of your contributions enhance our community.
Thank you.

Piping plover monitors noted July 1 that three chicks and their parents had set up foraging territory along the shore of Gordons Pond and have been seen regularly there.
Over at the Point, three pairs of plovers have hatched chicks. One pair has three chicks and another has one; the third pair's chick had not been spotted for about a week. Two additional pairs of plovers are still incubating eggs on the Point, with the first nest's estimated hatch date around July 5. The second nest was found on June 23.

How do you satisfy a woman? Two words: home renovation.
We've all heard the expression, 'The way to a man's heart is through his stomach'. Fortunately for me this isn't always the case. If it were I'd likely be sitting alone Friday nights talking to my cats.
How do you win a woman's heart? Well they say, 'Diamonds are a girl's best friend'. And of course, wining and dining never hurt, especially early on in a relationship. But what about after years of marriage, when dining out means a trip to McDonald's with the kids, and wining means, well, whining? How do you continue to satisfy a woman you've been with for years?
My husband found out recently, purely by accident. One day, out of the blue, he said, "I'm wondering if it's time we replaced the living room carpet with hardwood?"
The next day when he returned from work, samples of hardwood were lined up across the floor.
"What's this?" he asked.
"You said we should replace the carpet," I answered, handing him three cost estimates.
"And what's this," he asked, pointing to the stairs.
"Rug samples," I replied innocently. "We can't have new flooring and leave that old carpet on the stairs. And just so you know," I added, "there's samples of ceramic in the bathroom. You can't do the stairs and landing without doing the bathroom floor."
New floors led to new baseboards and when the old baseboards came off, wall paint came with them. That led to new wall colors, new towels, shower curtain and bedspreads. While ripping out carpets and moving furniture, (which included moving the piano four times), my husband's already bad back got worse. One chiropractor and a physiotherapist later, he spent a lot of time stretched out on a heating pad on the floor of our family room. Unfortunately for him, he couldn't reach the TV remote. Suddenly I had CONTROL, which meant one thing, HGTV – Home and Garden Television.
At first he protested. He wasn't into my favorites like House Hunters or Property Virgins. He'd ask me to switch to basketball or Ultimate Fighting during commercials. But one night The Handyman Superstar Challenge came on and he perked up a little. The show began with people competing in a variety of handyman challenges, displaying their knowledge and skill. Judges rated their finished project and each week one competitor was sent home. The last person standing is crowned The Handyman Superstar.
Suddenly my husband grew silent and occasionally when I'd start to talk he'd say, "Be quiet, I want to hear this." Once he even asked me to turn up the volume. After watching a few episodes he knew when it would be coming on. I'd be in the other room and he'd yell, "The Handyman Challenge is on," and I'd run to watch it with him.
Suddenly he was engrossed by the ease with which they built a fence, deck or patio furniture. He learned which tools to use for certain projects. He developed a thirst to try new things, to experiment, to build, to create. He purchased power tools and started wearing a tool belt.
It's been a few weeks now and along with the new baseboards, floors and paint, my husband's insulated our crawlspace, and laid a new laundry room floor. But even better, he's talking about major home renovations. He says things like, "When we do the kitchen we should knock out this wall. We should remove the window and put in a patio door, build an island in the kitchen…"
It's music to my ears.
I remember years ago, when love meant my husband hitchhiking a hundred miles to see me each weekend, staying in bed till noon eating leftover pizza and sipping cheap wine. Now, many years later, love's cuddling on the couch, watching HGTV.

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Small Fruits & Berries
When Birds are Pests (page 2 of 3)
by Michael E. Trunko
Bird-Control Methods
A whimsical scarecrow is fun, but only a modestly effective bird deterrent.
A benign deterrent is planting alternate food sources, such as mulberries or wild cherries, to lure birds away from your garden. Other approaches to bird problems require more sophisticated products and procedures.
"There are hundreds of products on the market that promise to protect your garden from birds," says Jack Wagner of Birdbusters, a supplier of bird deterrents in Washington, DC. "They include electronic sound devices, reflective tape, bird wire, inflatable owls, netting and balloons, just to mention a few. But many factors -- including the season, region, crop, the amount of money you're willing to spend, and the amount of time you're able to devote to your bird-control program -- need to be considered. And it's important to identify the species invading your garden -- you'll need different control measures for crows than for sparrows."
There are three kinds of bird-control techniques: scare devices, physical barriers and chemical repellents. I don't recommend the use of chemicals in home gardens, so I focus here on the first two.
Scare devices range from homemade deterrents to high-tech electronic repellers. They can work extremely well or hardly at all, depending on the methods used and the feeding pressure on the birds. The location of the device is important: Effective mounting sites are unobstructed places, about one to three feet above the plants. "The key to making a scare tactic useful is its element of surprise," Wagner explains. "Frequently change the device's location, elevation and frequency. Otherwise, it simply becomes part of the landscape's sights and sounds."
"A single scare device might initially provide good levels of bird control," says Zemsky. "For a superior and long-lasting scaring effect, however, choose products with differing scare techniques and position them in such a way that they effectively complement each other."
Visual devices, which run the gamut from toy pinwheels to aluminum pie plates suspended from strings to vinyl balloons, could be used along with a sound-generating device, for example. Brightly colored reflective ribbon (or surveyor's tape) can be effective. String rolls of the ribbon from pole to pole across a garden, twisting the strands to show off both sides. On sunny, windy days, the ribbon produces a low roaring noise as it undulates and flashes the sun's reflection, scaring by both sight and sound.
Scare-eye balloons, 18 to 24 inches in diameter and with a large eye to imitate a predator, are effective for flocking birds such as starlings, blackbirds and cedar waxwings. To make the balloons scarier, dangle long strips of silver and red reflective ribbon from them. Four or five balloons per acre are usually enough, but you should move them around frequently.
"One year we lost an entire corn crop to birds," says Billie Sees of Copley, Ohio. "We tried to chase them away, and even used a noisemaking device, but nothing worked." The following season, Sees purchased three scare-eye balloons and hung them at various locations in the garden. "The balloons worked! We had a great harvest, and no bird damage."
"Some newer sound repellers are species specific," Zemsky says. Sound devices are loud and disturb people in the area, however, so take your neighbors' proximity into consideration when choosing an acoustical scarer.
Though some bird-control devices seem to be high-tech, it's important to remember that limiting bird damage in your garden is not an exact science.
To increase the effectiveness of your scare tactics:
- Use a variety of products.
- Relocate scare devices every one to three days, changing them in the evening so the scene is new in the morning.
- Change the duration of their use and the time of day they are used.
- When the devices aren't in use, hide them to keep the birds from getting accustomed to them.
Physical barriers are anything placed between your garden and the birds. For example, if crows eat your seeds, lay chicken wire on top of the newly planted seedbed. When seedlings appear, raise the wire slightly by using boards or bricks to keep it above the tops of the plants. As the seedlings continue to grow, keep raising the wire, removing it when the plants are no longer vulnerable. Chicken wire also works well for protecting strawberries. You will need to make a boxlike enclosure. Use rods along the sides and through the top of the chicken wire for support. Be sure to leave no openings.
Other barriers include inverted crates or disposable cups (with the bottoms cut out) placed over seedlings. Or, cut out a 12- by 12-inch square of window screen cloth and staple it together to form a cone-shaped cover to place over your plants. An approach similar to the ribbon strategy involves stringing fishing line or wire across your garden or bushes.
"More and more growers -- from backyard gardeners to large operations -- are using netting," says Vincent de Bellis, a winegrower in Tenino, Washington. "Properly installed netting is 99 to 100 percent effective."
During the last few years, de Bellis lost between 50 and 90 percent of each harvest. All of his previous bird-control attempts failed. As a result, he installed a netting system that covers his entire growing area. Now, he has virtually no bird damage.
Netting, however, can sometimes be impractical. It can snag or tear on twigs or thorns, which often causes broken plants. One solution is to build an inexpensive framework or cage that completely covers the bushes or plants. Then buy a net that reaches to the ground on all sides. If wind blows the netting around, anchor it into the ground with bent wire.

On the retailers side all they needed to do was publish their inventory to E&Y as a backup of their existing inventory control system and voila... an internet surfer could look at the Lays website for the flavor potato chips they like and then with one click know the nearest 711 that had it in stock and what price they were asking.
That idea got shelved.. until this morning.
Laying in bed at 5.30 I started thinking about how to sidestep the whole Google search/ advertising monopoly and tap into the communal collective that has so far been so effective in places like blogs, wikipedia and ebays rating system...
So here's the idea.
A user is reading an article that mentions a product name or keyword that they are interested in investigating with an aim to purchasing. They simple double click to select the keyword or drag to select the relevant expression and then right-click.
What appears on the right-click menu is a function called shop4this that appears because the user has loaded a browser extension to add this capability at some previous time. Upon selecting shop4this the word or selection is copied to memory along with a snapshot of the surrounding text so that an intelligent anticipation can be made of what the user is interested in researching to buy.
The user is taken to the shop4this.net web site. Why a dot-net rather than a dot-com site? Well firstly because the dot-com site was already owned, but also because the concept behind the idea is a network of people, not a single entity/ company. Anyway I digress...
The shop4this web site is displayed in a new window or tab and shows the user the best results for the search it can find. Options are new, used or both and to search by price or location assuming the user has supplied their zip code as a reference.
This is where it gets interesting... if there are no entries (or not the right kind of entries) for the item, the user is invited to share their research with the other users of the shop4this site in return for credits generated by advertising income from the site. So the agrees to go into monitor mode (which I haven't worked out exactly the best way to do yet) and searches the web until they find a good solution. Then, possibly using a right-click selection again, the user links their original search phrase with their desired found result for others to use and for them to get credit for finding.
Using a reputation system, and self editing along with a reward system that sees 50% of the advertising revenue return to searcher and the other people who use his or her search results, this thing may have some legs.
Business Model
Of course advertising can play a part in this. Google Ads-ish sidebar text ads etc are a no-brainer. But sellers on the web can also sponsor their links from the shop4this site. The links would be highlighted as sponsored so that people know they will get credits for following that link compared to others. So the site makes money three ways.
- Direct competitive advertising a-la Google
- Indirect/ related advertising a-la-Google. and...
- Link sponsership where a portion of the retailers sales are shared back with the searcher who originally found the item/ search link and the followers who followed the path to the retailer.
- A web site owner pays $20 per month to sponser links to their product pages. The sponsorship includes up to 2000 pass thru links and up to 100 products.
- The shop4this site keeps a flat 20% for themselves for operations
- The original searcher links to one product on the sponsers page. At this time there are 50 other searchers who have linked to various other products/ pages on the sponsers web site.
- The searchers get to share 50% of 80% ie 40% of revenue from the site owners $20.
- The other 40% is shared amongst the followers who use the link.
- So if 50 searchers share the 40% at a ratio equal to the number of total visitors that used the searchers link (ie one searchers link represents 20% of the sites link traffic) the searcher would get 20% of 40% of $20 (or $1.60) in credits.
- When the credits hit $30 they get a check or a Paypal credit. Plus they get 60 days to claim.
- When a follower links to the page for the first time, and a total of 1000 hits link to the site over the month, they receive as credits 1/1000th of 40% of $20 which is 0.8cents for the visit.
Note: Ric is actively working on this project with a view to securing a patent for some or all of the ideas expressed in this blog entry.

|Soccer welcomes six signees
MOSCOW, Idaho - University of Idaho women's soccer coach Pete Showler announced the addition of six new student-athletes to the Vandal family on Wednesday, National Letter of Intent signing day.
Idaho added three midfielders, one forward, one defender and one goalkeeper during the signing period. The high school signees hail from Oregon, Washington, Arizona and Nevada.
At the forward spot, Idaho added Nicole Adams of Phoenix, Ariz. (Desert Vista HS). Emily Ngan is a defender from Portland, Ore. (Cleveland HS), and Marissa Fehrman is a goalkeeper from Las Vegas, Nev. (Faith Lutheran HS). At the midfield, Idaho signed Lilly Archer (Portland, Ore./Grant HS), Katie Baran (Nine Mile Falls, Wash./Lakeside HS) and Annie Millard (Spokane, Wash./University HS).
"We're bringing in a nice blend of very good technical players and feisty players," Showler said. "They're all tactically aware, bring a very good level of understanding of the game, and then in our goalkeeper we have someone who understands the game very well."
Ngan and Archer were club teammates with the Eastside United FC, which has won multiple Oregon state titles, while Millard and Baran have helped the Spokane Shadow club team to a good deal of state and regional success. Fehrman helped Neusport FC claim four consecutive Nevada state titles, while Adams' Sereno Soccer Club has won three Arizona state titles in a row.
"All these girls have played in the big tournaments and have been exposed to high levels of pressure and competition," Showler said. "They understand what the game means at the top level."
While Idaho soccer has had a strong footprint in Oregon and Washington, Fehrman and Adams are the first Vandal soccer players to hail from the states of Nevada and Arizona.
"It shows that we're going everywhere that we need to be, to bring in the best players that we can," Showler said about expanding further into the West region. "More people see what we're doing. Winning brings the exposure, and obviously, the last couple seasons have gotten our name out there."
Idaho lost three players, Mel Canite, Jennifer Eugenio and Jenn Hull, to graduation following its record-setting 2010 season, and Showler said the addition of the six newcomers is going to add even more to the team's solid depth and talent base.
"It's only going to improve the quality and depth that we have with the team, and the competition for each place is going to get better and better," Showler said. "That's what is going to make us more competitive, day to day."
Showler also said he was glad to recognize the achievements of the team's newcomers on Tuesday, which is National Girls and Women in Sports Day.
"It's National Girls and Women in Sports Day, so it's a fitting time that we are able to announce the addition of these quality student-athletes who are going to make us better all around the pitch," Showler said.
All six new Vandals will join the team in August for the 2011 season. Idaho's current roster is in the midst of offseason training, and will open its spring season in one month with a road game at Seattle University on March 5. The spring schedule also includes matches against Washington State, Gonzaga and Oregon, as well as the team's annual Alumni Game.

Though the musician's passionate fan base certainly views Church as a celebrity of the indie world, he has the comfortable demeanor more common to the band next door.
Sea Wolf's independent vibe is probably one of the reasons the band was selected for one of the performances at Sundance's ASCAP Music Café.
Though Church has performed at ASCAP before, he's looking forward to performing two shows at the café this year, and consequently spending a little more time in Park City.
"We'll get a chance to explore a bit more and see at least one film," he said. The shows are the some of the first on the band's tour, which will also take them to Colorado and Arizona. This tour follows a larger one, which wrapped up last fall, and Church says the show has been upgraded with a new light show.
The band's third album, "Old World Romance," was released last September.
While the sound is clearly Sea Wolf, the songs incorporate enough unique elements to keep fans hooked. Church describes the album as "a leisurely ride along the California Pacific Highway One."
He says the sound incorporates acoustic guitars, descriptive lyrics and electronica elements.
"It's kind of pop, but I don't want to say it's pop because it has a bad connotation," he said. "It has a lot more depth and subtlety than a lot of the stuff on the radio.
Adding to his indie street cred, Church created most of "Old World Romance" by himself.
"It's 90 percent me," he said, "I did a lot of the instrumentation myself and I recorded almost all of it myself."
Church's band members and friends from around the country added a bit here and there, helping with recording, keyboards, and drums.
working on much of the album solo, Church was able to spend more time "tinkering" with every part of it.
"The luxury of time was the most appealing aspect of doing it myself," he said. "[I had] way more time to write parts and let the songs marinate and decide months down the line if I liked it."
Festival credential holders will get the chance to see Sea Wolf perform this Sunday at 4:55 p.m., and again on Monday at 3:20 p.m. at the ASCAP Music Café, 751 Main Street.

I hosted a camping party for my daughter's 5th grade end of the year class party. I cut branches off my own tree and hung them with twine and paper clips. I decorated the branches with bandannas, Happy Camper banner and battery operated votives in mason jars. I had a make your own trail mix bar with s'more pops I made and a thermos of lemonade. The kids played some games outside such as hula hoop link and sack races. They came inside to lace their own wallets and then we showed the "Yogi Bear" movie and served movie theater popcron in rolled brown paper sacks. The favors were brown kraft gable boxes filled with bug catching klits, bandanna, camping pin, wallets and s'more making kits.

But during his first semester at MU, Mike's plans are derailed when he crosses paths with hotshot James P. Sullivan, "Sulley", a natural-born Scarer. The pair's out-of-control competitive spirit gets them both kicked out of the University's elite Scare Program. To make matters worse, they realize they will have to work together, along with an odd bunch of misfit monsters, if they ever hope to make things right.

After only two years of playing guitar, this Park City native has shared the spotlight with Grammy Award–winning artists and graced the stage at Sundance.
While other preteens fawn over Justin Bieber and rock out to Selena Gomez, 12-year-old Sophia Dion tunes in to indie songstresses like Ingrid Michaelson and KT Tunstall. "She's not like a normal 12 year old who wants to play pop music," says mom, Pam.
And with her wise-beyond-her-years croon, Sophia is also attracting attention in Nashville. The singer/songwriter completed a whirlwind tour there this past summer. She sang at 12 venues in three weeks and won first place in the Madd Talent Contest. The normally shy girl blossoms in front of large crowds where she can feel the audience respond to her music.
"I'm more nervous in front of two or three people because I can see what their reactions are," she explains. "[With bigger crowds] I kind of just see colors when they're moving around, but I'm mostly focusing on my guitar."
On stage, Sophia emanates a self-assured presence that oozes with star power. "I performed every day in Nashville, but wasn't tired at all," she says. "I love people listening to me and feeling happy." The owners of Bedell Guitars heard Sophia sing in Nashville and signed her to a performing artist deal, a privilege usually reserved for more experienced musicians. She also performed at the prestigious National Association of Music Merchants annual trade show that has seen the likes of Elton John and John Mayer.
Born and raised in Park City, Sophia's passion for music was evident at age 3 when she would belt out Elvis Presley's "Devil in Disguise" in perfect pitch in the family's living room. Piano and vocal lessons followed, but receiving a guitar at age 10 made it all click. "I connected with the guitar because it was something I could carry around with me," she says. Though she has only been playing for two years, Sophia has performed at the Sundance Film Festival Artists' Lounge and alongside blues legends and Grammy Award–nominated musicians Jimmy Hall, Tracy Nelson and Reese Wynans and five-time Grammy Award winner Ashley Cleveland.
In March, Sophia penned her first single, "All I Wanna Do is Sing," before recording it in a Nashville studio. "It's about how, wherever I am, all I want to do is sing," she says, explaining that writing songs is an outlet she's excited to explore further. "I can connect to the songs [I write myself] more than if I'm doing covers."
Words of Wisdom: "Just listen to all types of music. You have to practice to get good, because it doesn't happen really fast. You have to be focused."
Mentor: Sophia's 91-year-old grandmother was a professional singer in the 1940s and 50s. "She's a rock star," Sophia says.
Hobbies: Competitive hip hop and jazz dance, freestyle skiing
Musical maestro: Sophia also plays stand-up bass, piano and ukulele
Speed composing: Wrote her single in four hours
Words of Wisdom
"Just listen to all types of music. You have to practice to get good, because it doesn't happen really fast. You have to be focused."

Stuttgart City Council members did not get the chance to discuss the possibility of a new shopping center being built across from Walmart Tuesday.
James Family Properties, LLLP, of Little Rock, has asked and received a recommendation from the Stuttgart Planning Commission for 7.254 acres of land across from Walmart on East 22nd Street to be rezoned from I-1 to B-2.
Stuttgart Mayor Marianne Maynard announced the item would be tabled until the first meeting in February. According to Maynard there was no reason given for the delay, but she was asked by the company to postpone the measure.
Attorney William C. Adkisson for James Family Properties, LLLP, said they won't close until after February and further details about the shopping center are still unavailable.
"We believe that the proposed development would be a good use for this property, as well as being good for the City of Stuttgart by enhancing the available retail options and generating jobs and sales tax revenue," attorney William C. Adkisson said in a written letter to the commission.
The rezoning request was approved at the monthly commission meeting.
Dave Constien with James Family Properties, LLLP said the company is presently under contract with the property's owners, Union Pacific Railroad.
Also during Tuesday's meeting Stuttgart City Council member Ruth Ann Trice made the motion to except Bill Holbert to be recommended for reelection to the Stuttgart Planning Commission. In the motion she also denied to add Norma Strabala to the Commission due to Strabala taking Trice's spot on the Stuttgart City Council in January.
All Stuttgart City Council meetings are open to the public. The next meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. Dec. 17 at Stuttgart City Hall, located at 304 S. Maple St. For more information or to have an item added to the agenda call (870) 673-3535.

Churchland house called total loss after fire
Published: Thursday, January 2, 2014 at 9:36 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 2, 2014 at 3:51 p.m.
CHURCHLAND | A two-story home on N.C. Highway 150 appears to be a total loss Thursday morning after it caught fire, said Barry Frazier, chief of the Churchland Volunteer Fire Department.
Churchland firefighters were dispatched to a fire at 11271 N.C. Highway 150 South about 5:45 a.m. A passerby alerted the fire department of the blaze.
Frazier said firefighters arrived to find smoke coming from "every opening of the house." The chief explained firefighters forced entry with no one at home and began battling the fire from inside the residence.
Frazier said the Davidson County Fire Marshal is conducting the investigation, but the fire appears to have started on the first floor and worked its way up onto the stairwell to the second floor.
"We got a good knockdown in the first and second floor, basically held (the fire) to two rooms," he said. "The house is basically a total loss due to smoke and heat damage, but the fire was mainly held to two rooms."
No firefighters were injured, and the cause does not appear to be suspicious. Frazier said the residents who live at the rental home were in Virginia.
Shauna Stanley, who baby-sits for the family, identified them as David and Lisa Baker and explained they live at the house with their two grandchildren, ages 6 and 12. Stanley had just left the hospital with one of the children who was suffering from an ear infection. She dates the Bakers' son, Anthony Aziz.
Davidson County Deputy Fire Marshal Glen Pressley said the fire remains under investigation. He said he left the scene early Thursday afternoon, and the fire's cause is being listed at undetermined at this time. Pressley agreed that investigators don't believe the fire is suspicious.
Churchland firefighters were assisted on the scene by the Tyro and Linwood fire departments, Davidson EMS and Davidson County Fire Marshal's Office.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Salmonella infections are diarrheal infections caused by the bacteria Salmonella. The Salmonella germ is actually a group of bacteria that can cause diarrheal illness in humans. There are many different kinds of Salmonella bacteria.
Salmonella are usually transmitted to humans by eating foods contaminated with animal feces. Contaminated foods are often animal in origin, such as beef, poultry, milk, or eggs. However, all foods, including vegetables and peanut butter, can become contaminated.
The following are the most common symptoms of Salmonella infections. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include: diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection.
The symptoms of Salmonella infections may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
Since many different illnesses have symptoms similar to Salmonella infections, diagnosis depends on laboratory tests that identify Salmonella in the stools.
These infections generally run their course in five to seven days and often no further treatment is required. However, patients with severe diarrhea may need rehydration with intravenous fluids. If the infection spreads from the intestines, antibiotics may also be necessary.
Specific treatment for Salmonella infections will be determined by your physician based on:
Since foods of animal origin pose the greatest threat of Salmonella contamination, do not eat raw or undercooked eggs, poultry, or meats. Remember that some sauces and desserts use raw eggs in their preparation, so be cautious of these, particularly in foreign countries. Also, follow these recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
