NuGlow: With or Without Makeup, You'll Look Great!
Whether you apply foundation or other makeup after your NuGlow regimen or not, your skin is going to look good. I know this for a fact.
It's been almost four months now since I began using NuGlow products, and my skin has improved to the point that even my kids have noticed.
I have a condition called dermatomyositis, and the most noticeable symptom is splotchy skin. However, since my NuGlow regimen is now routine, twice a day, I have no splotches. My skin, in fact, looks better than it's looked since my teen years, which were longer ago than I care to admit.
I used to wear foundation daily, to cover up my skin. Now, I seldom wear any kind of makeup because even without it, my skin has a glow. A NEW glow. NuGlow did that for me. NuGlow can do it for you, too.
My sister, who has no "condition" to deal with, looks even better! She had spent a lot of time out in the sun in her youth, and her skin showed it. Did you notice the past tense there?
Because now, her skin glows, too. She looks ten years younger since she started using NuGlow.
I don't know how much younger I look, but I sure FEEL ten years younger. And my mirror is starting to be my friend again, instead of my enemy.

My plans are for a AR-15 with a 10.5 barrel with a 6 position collapsable stock. Does any body know what this lenth would be ? does it need the measurment collapsed or extended ? Just wanting to get all the paperwork correct. Thanks

Hard to believe it's been almost two decades ('91) since the then biggest-selling country group of all time (20 million records, and counting) broke up.
The Judds, mother Naomi and daugher Wynonna, had a run of 14 no. 1 singles and garnered more than 60 industry awards from 1984 to 1989.
The duo paved the way for Shania Twain, Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift - women who take little bit of harmony, a little bit of bluegrass and a little Appalachian folk - infuse it with pop sensibility and sex appeal - and call it country.
Naomi had Wynonna at 17 and moved her family (daugher Ashley came later by husband Michael Ciminella - Wynonna's father Chalrles Jordan was not so much in the picture and died in 2000) from Ashland, KY to Los Angeles when she was only 22.
After a divorce and a decade of several country song-inducing bad relationships and deadbeat part-time jobs, the eldest Judd pointed wagons east back to Kentucky where mom and the girls lived in the mountains with no phone or TV.
It was then the pre-teen Wynonna began playing guitar and harmonizing with her mother.
In the late-70s, the Judds moved to Nashville in hopes of making it big. Less than four years later the group was signed to RCA and their first single "Had a Dream" reached the country top 20. Wynonna was still shy of 20.
Fast-forward three decades and Wynonna has released seven solo albums, written a best-selling autobiography and even went on Oprah to talk about dealing with food dependency. Most recently, she's reconciled with her mother (2010 reunion tour tix on sale) and Ciminella, the man she considers her father.
When: 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 20
Where: Deer Valley Resort´s Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheater
What to expect: A little bit of country, a little bit of blues, gospel, adult contemporary. Don't expect a Judds review, but she will throw in a few top-10s including "No One Else on Earth", "To Be Loved by You" and "I Saw the Light". Melodrama seemingly in the rearview, Wynonna pleases crowds by pleasing herself.

Didier Reynders's view on the Security Council's session about the Great Lakes
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders is pleased with the initiative of the United States Secretary of State John Kerry to convene a session of the UN's Security Council on 25 July. This special session discusses at a high level the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in the African Great Lakes region.
Belgium was invited to take part in this debate. There were also a number of regional Ministers present, as well as the United Nations Secretary-General, the President of the World Bank and the Special Envoy to the Great Lakes, Mary Robinson.
This session resulted in the approval of a declaration. In this declaration, the support of the international community for the framework agreement for peace, security and development, for the establishment of the MONUSCO intervention brigade and for the personal involvement of Ms Robinson is approved. Didier Reynders once again emphasised this point in a press release a few days ago: the recently resumed combats around Goma confirm the need to put an end to the violence of the armed groups in the Kivu region.
In its declaration, the Security Council condemns the renewed violence of M23 and demands that it be disbanded and disarmed. Other armed groups, such as the FDLR (Forces Démocratiques de Libération du Rwanda/Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda), the ADF-Nalu and the Mai-Mai must also be disbanded and disarmed. Various participants in this high-level session, including Belgium, called for the cessation of external support to these armed groups so that the violence and the horrible abuses of citizens can be stopped.
In two weeks, Didier Reynders will visit the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where he will discuss these issues with the Congolese authorities. He will then travel to Nairobi for the next summit of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region at the end of the month.

ACA releases statement on Chip Timing System
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
From ACA website
Everyone involved with the Superior Morgul Classic appreciates the participation and enthusiasm from our athletes and families over the weekend.
As many of you know, we are still working to create accurate results from the weekend. Overall Omnium results cannot be completed until this has happened.
Of course, the notion in the racing community is that "The chips system was in use, the results should be perfect." The reality is that no scoring system can create perfect results if the event's registration is not accurate. This simple concept defines the situation in which we find ourselves. We have a world class timing system that functions at a very high level. We do not have world class data being inputted into this system.
When this happens, especially at an event that had more than 1,700 athletes in 20+ categories, creating results reverts largely to hand scoring. And this takes time.
Other questions have been:
1. Why were the Superior time trial results so fast? Answer: the event was pre-registration only, and our officials could rely on the results generated by the timing company.
2. Why do we need bib numbers if we have chips? Answer: Chip data includes info on the rider as it relates to the ACA database. It does NOT include category data, as the majority of our athletes can choose one of multiple categories on race day. The bib number is linked to the start list for a particular event, and therefore imperative for scoring. Bib numbers are also the best form of identification in event of an accident during a race.
3. Why do we have a timing system? Answer: The timing system was purchased in order to provide deep, accurate, and timely scoring for all categories (in a larger effort to provide results and a racing experience that is similar to running, triathlon, or mountain bike races). Please note that all these types of events are much simpler to score than a road race or criterium. As everyone knows, this has not been an easy implementation, and I apologize for the confusion that is out there.
4. What do we do now? Answer: We have had a major development with the timing company, in that Orion (the timing company) has opened a North American office in Boulder, which is run by ACA member Paul de Curnou. With his background, attitude, and training, we have seen significant progress in our communication and ability to work with the vendor. In order to address the problems we have with the data being put into the timing software, Paul is working to create day-of registration software that will be shared at no charge with our race promoters. A beta version of this new product will be available in the next three months.
5. What can ACA members do? Answer: Well, you could go on 303 Cycling and anonymously post a lot of vitriol, or you could call me to get an idea of the whole picture. My number is 303-458-5538. The simplest things that ACA members can do is 1) pre-register, and 2) complete registration accurately and legibly.
6. What can I say? Answer: I want to thank the ACA community for your support during this time. We have seen quite a bit of change, and we are appreciative of each and every member. I want to apologize for the confusion that has existed over the last six months. We have been working to define our relationship with USAC and the data flow between our organizations, to refine our database given this new source of information, and to continue using the timing system, which relies on the database to produce results. It is a lot of challenge, and I apologize that we have not communicated as effectively as perhaps we need to.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
This is reality, even if their system works how will they continue to fund it throughout the years when all of the revenue generated from it goes to the timer and zero goes to BRAC? Ask yourself that question. Nothing is perfect, and things in 2012 worked out ok, but if they continue to become a timing company that doesn't make any money what will happen down the road to your membership and race fees when they realize they need to raise more money to fund the purchase of chips? Open your eyes now or keep opening your wallet in the future.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
I believe this to be an accurate assessment.
I was at the club meeting and someone raised the "why are there so few road races and the calendar" question. It was very telling that the response from the room--which contained most of the big players on the local scene--was utter silence. In short, there are no easy answers.
One thing Stephen Haydel mentioned that I found interesting was that apparently, the participation of the 20-29 year old demographic in the sport has fallen off a cliff in the last ten years. These are the racers without the weekend family commitments, who will drive 4 hours to a race, eat Subway and sleep 6 to a hotel room to save $$ (as I once did...those were the days...)
Bike racing wasn't cheap "back then" but it wasn't nearly as expensive as it is now. I bought my first Italian steel racing bike for $1700 in 1996. A good helmet or pair of shoes was $100 or so. Now, it's China starter bikes for $3K+ and the implication that you've got to have a $900+ power meter and a $150+/month coach to compete even as a Cat 4. Thousands of dollars spent, hundreds of hours of training and it can all disappear in an instant when some fool idiot touches wheels and flops down in front of your line between turns two and three....any wonder why the 20-29 set isn't interested?
Good assessment!
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Very well stated. This may be true for the Colorado racing scene, but maybe not true for other areas such as SoCal.
As a member of the 20-29 age group, I must second the above statement. Although I initially sank that kind of money to start racing, after a brief stint through the 5's and 4's, I have realized that no matter how much I enjoy racing, the costs of the sport are absolutely unsustainable, and the prize money is insufficient to even defray the costs slightly.
Currently a 3, the frequent accidents have made me step back, reduce my participation, and look critically at the benefits of participating in a sport that takes alot, and gives back nowhere near the proportion to the level of my effort or dollars spent. There are other sports that give the same fitness level without incurring the same cost every weekend and enduring bureaucratic nonsense that we put up with in the cycling world.
It would be interesting to survey the individuals that have stopped participating (in the 20-29 bracket) to find their reasons.

New chip for each race??
Submitted by what about? (not verified) on
So, according to the recently released statement, racers won't have a dedicated chip. Instead, we'll get a new chip at registration for each event, and that chip will be keyed to the bib number and not the racer license number. They say this will be an improvement, but I can't imagine how.
My question: what happens for races like the CCTT series, where you register once and just check in at the start line for each week of the series? Will there be chips handed out each week? If so, this will be waaay more complicated than the current system.

Didn't folks without chips,
Submitted by anonymous (not verified) on
Didn't folks without chips, like out of state racers, have to leave an ID as a deposit for their chips in 2012? Are we going to have to leave an ID for the race-day only chip in 2013? If so, can you imagine how big a pain this is going to be for promoters and racers alike?

New Chips and CX Call Ups
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Getting a new/different chip at each race worked well for CX when WOL ran their races this way. Dont know if it creates a bit more work for the promoter but their wasnt much issue with lines to pick up a chip after getting your bib.
Is this the same systems WOL used in CX? Regardless, my question is if this is going to solve the call-up 'issue' in CX and allow same day registration so one doesnt have to forfeit their call-up if they cant pre-reg?
WOL didnt require pre-reg to get an accurate start list and a hard earned call up on same day registration. I hope this is the case with the new chips. Can you answer in ACA?

Savage was previously named Coach of the Year by Collegiate Baseball and Baseball America in 2013, also earning ABCA West Region Coach of the Year honors. Earlier this month, UCLA and Savage agreed to a multi-year contract extension that will run through 2025.
In 2013, Savage led the Bruins to their first national title in program history, going a perfect 10-0 in the postseason. UCLA went 4-0 against national seeds in the tournament, eliminating two of them (No. 5 Cal State Fullerton, No. 1 North Carolina). At the College World Series, the Bruins' pitching staff allowed four runs over five CWS games. In the 67-year-history of the College World Series, only one national champion has given up fewer runs than UCLA in 2013 (California, three runs allowed in 1957).
Savage helped UCLA post an overall 49-17 record in 2013, marking the second-highest single-season win total in school history. UCLA also matched a school record with 21 conference victories, finishing third in the Pac-12. The Bruins have finished in the top three in the Pac-12 Conference in each of the last eight seasons, the only Pac-12 team to do so.
Savage coached pitcher David Berg and infielder Pat Valaika to Pac-12 Pitcher and Defensive Player of the Year honors, respectively. Berg became the first reliever in the history of the conference to win Pitcher of the Year honors. UCLA's pitchers also allowed the fewest runs in the conference (196) and held opponents to two runs or fewer in half of the Bruins' games (33 out of 66).
Through nine seasons in Westwood, Savage has produced some of the nation's highest draft selections, including pitchers Gerrit Cole (2011, No. 1 overall selection), Trevor Bauer (2011, No. 3 selection), David Huff (2066, first round supplemental) and Rob Rasmussen (2010, second round) and outfielder Jeff Gelalich (2012, first round supplemental).
Savage has guided the Bruins to the postseason in seven of the last eight seasons and to the College World Series in three of the last four years. He became UCLA's first head coach to lead the Bruins to the finals of the College World Series in 2010, guiding UCLA to a 51-17 record and runner-up finish in the CWS against South Carolina. In the last four years, Savage's teams have collected 183 wins, a total that ranks sixth in the nation and first in the Pac-12. His winning percentage since 2010 is a staggering .712.
Additionally, Savage is one of just five coaches in college baseball history to have led his team to at least one College World Series championship, produced a No. 1 overall MLB Draft selection and coached a Golden Spikes Award winner.

All Halloween Ghost DOTS, you return again like a bad haunting. Oh! And look! This time you brought friends with you! I heard tales of new flavors of DOTS being released this Halloween, but didn't see any for myself until the other day in a Superfresh in the area. Then I was lucky enough to spot them in full sized boxes in Rite Aid. Whoot! This is what adult trick or treating is, and I like it. I grabbed a bag of the mini sized version, and this year Ghost DOTS have Bat DOTS and Candy Corn DOTS to keep them company.
Ghost: "Assorted Fruit Flavors" Which flavor? Which ghost? It's a MYSTERY!" reads the box. I've encountered these a few years ago for the first time, and am sort of both pleased and a little annoyed they brought them back. The DOTS are an odd seam foam green color, they look transparent but aren't. It's strange. They smell lightly fruity. The first one I had tasted like fruit punch. Second, more like orange. Third, like lime. I'm guessing these are just the normal DOTS flavors, just colored all the same to trick you. While tasty, they just disappointed me since the drawing of the ghostie on the front is so darned cute. I wish the DOTS had faces on them still.
Candy Corn: These feel a tad softer than the others. This DOT is an opaque orange with a yellow bottom, like a candy corn but missing the white tip. They smell odd: a mix of plastic and Eggo waffles. The flavor is sweet and bland at first, then the fake butter flavor of candy corn appears. It's, kinda strange. It doesn't taste bad, more like a watered-down candy corn, but with a thicker and stickier texture. Some I tried had a funny cola flavor to it, but it was pretty random and hard to pin down as something that happened with all of them. Oddly enough, I liked them. But then again I'm a fan of candy corn, so many of you probably think I'm crazy to begin with.
Bat DOTS: blood orange flavored: The box is so appealing. There's a cute bat with a orange wedge mouth leaking juices on it! DAWWWWW! The DOTS are dark black with a dull, opaque appearance. The flavor is awesome. It's fruity, a little sweet and a little tart, it tastes not quite like orange at points, but has a more berry flavor to it. It reminds me of how fruits snacks tasted when I was a kid. It's delicious, and I really like it.
I was pleased with this mix, and despite my annoyance with the Ghost DOTS, they're still tasty and it's a well rounded mix. A good option if you want to hand out a little something different this Halloween.

Quick View
Tomme Chevre AydiusDon't bid us adieu until you've tasted this complex and peppery goat tomme from the town that sounds like goodbye. Similar to its popular regional neighbor, Pyrenees Brebis, but offering a uniquely goaty tang and a sweet, musty departure. Read More
Quick View
Chevre d'ArgentalWhy the hexagon? Perhaps the perfect simplicity of this pasteurized goat's milk cheese from Lyon had the cheesemakers worried. No gimmicks necessary, in our opinion. A creamy to runny interior with a rind as tender and fine as any Brie. Read More

Medal, Yuri Gagarin
This medal commemorates this first human spaceflight. On 12 April 1961, Soviet Air Forces pilot, Major Yuri Gagarin (1934-1968) became the first man to orbit the Earth. The Vostok spacecraft with Gagarin inside was launched atop the launch vehicle by the same name and completed one orbit of the Earth in 89 minutes. Just prior to landing, at an altitude of 23,000, feet, Gagarin was ejected from the Vostok capsule and parachuted safely to Earth. The public announcement of his flight brought about spontaneous demonstrations within the former Soviet Union. Internationally, the flight seemed to confirm the perception that the USSR was ahead of the United States in the space race that had begun with the Soviet launch of sputnik in 1957. The reverse of this medal depicts the Vostok spacecraft in orbit around the Earth.
The K. E. Tsiolkovskii Museum of the History of Cosmonautics presented this medal to the National Air and Space Museum in 1974.

Who Wants One?
Latest News
Who Wants One?Posted byMay 11, 2011Filed under:1672
Daydreamin'. I come from the classical part of the music,now playing jazz, and be in love with hip-hop, RnB and rap. The first emotion to listen this music, was Lupe Fiasco's DAYDREAMIN' with Jill Scott. Lupe and Jill become my all time favorite artists, and persons as well. Thanks, Lupe!
My favorite tracks, sorry couldn't pick just one, are Bottom Of My Heart, Ooh, Don't Get It Twisted, Mean & Vicious, and All Three Albums!!! Everything I should say!!! I really like depth, wordplay and everything in that nature. Dats why he and alongside Kid Cudi, are my favorite artists!!!. There you have it!
My favorite song is Words I Never Said because I am an American Muslim of Palestinian descent and it's just nice to see someone of Lupe Fiasco's fame and influence representing people like me in a positive way and enlightening others about Islam and the Palestinian struggle. We are LASERS...Peace out.
Go Go Gadget Flow is my favorite song. Its bumping in my car. Its playing while im skating and snowboarding. Even when I need to get pumped up before a game I put on my Go Go Gadget Flow
Its hard to label A favorite from Lu, but "Pressure" from Food & Liquor would have to be my all time favorite. The sample, the unforgettable collab with Jay-Z, and Lu's 2nd verse. Still my favorite line: "Other Ni**a from the block, what / they was sellin O's like Wheel of Fortune / of imported co****e just to feel important / it was "Do or Die" they was tired of bein "Po' Pimps," / Now for sure / that was just a product of my common sense / I guess, I was just guessing like the consonants / momma said beware of what the Devil do / Tell em that your soul's not for sale like the W's..." - For me, this song made me a believer. Lol. He automatically elevated above "some" rappers in the game who were known as the hottest lyricists. This album definitely set the bar high. "Put you on Game" from The Cool would be my 2nd.
to have an alltime fav is too hard but right now....Never Forget You....it hits home cuz my dad just died and I total feel the entire sentiment of the song and where he is coming from....I definately "...see you in the stars"...with that song I can relate totally... all of his songs have always been like that, which is why he is such an amazing artist and person...real people really feel him.
Lupe fiasco you are the best!! i love all your stuff man you have to come on tour in Europe and def London. I was in thailand when l.a.s.e.r.s. was released and treked all over the city till i had a copy :D sick record! 'till i get there' my fav track :)
Intruder Alert Because it's Lupe's.... It shows his lyrical intelligence and incredible story telling ability. But really, how can you ask us to choose a favorite :P, I honostly think almost every song of his is an incredible track.
My favorite would have to be words i never said because i agree with all the opinions about the press and how simple things have been overlooked because people are scared to express their opinions. I love the entire album; it is really down to earth and has to be tbe soundtrack to my life.
'The Show Goes On' because it was the song that made Lasers a reality and will now lead to more music from Mr Fiasco as he sees that fans really dig his music like me. It shows how much the power the fans really have and I can't wait for more music from lupe. I know it will be worth the wait! Love always shines everyone remember 2 smile
"Shining Down" because it really speaks to me about loss and faith, always looking up in the sky, and it talks about being truthful in a world full of facades.
Switch (the science project) is by DEFINETELY my fav lupe song. His effortless abililty to switch between multiple flows at the drop of a word is just too much. It just shows that he not only has the entire lyrical game on LOCK but hes got the flow to drown all the chumps who think they can mess with him.
"Words I never said" because he says a lot of important facts in those lyrics that people should know about but the media is too afraid to say.
"Hustler for death. No heaven for a gangsta" - The Cool and Lu Myself" from Lupe The Jedi "You don't stand a chance, matter o' fact, you don't have half the stance to stand if you stood half a chance." ^^ because they inspire me, and lupe fiasco is like a role model to me, and the above lyrics keep me going when im down, :) && HES SIMPLY AMAZING!
Marty McFly- because right off the gate his lyrics hit the truth. "Busy, let's see what this inspire. I intend my entire tenure to be fire." Since he came onto the scene he's been hailed as a dope lyricist. Look at what he's inspiring now- you're seeing more and more freestyles over his songs like Styles P over 'Out of My Head' just yesterday. Plus, the beat and flow are just sick as usual.
The Instrumental- so so so awesome how you gotta work to follow what he's saying. Your my inspiration man, much love!
"Sunshine" - I listened in it 67 times on a trip to italy after i heard it for the first time. This song is just soo beautiful. It remembers the good times i had when i was in my favorite country.
"Sunshine" - I listened in it 67 times on a trip to italy after i heard it for the first time. This song is just soo beautiful. It remembers the good times i had when i was in my favorite country.
my favorite Lupe song is little warrior... simply because the story behind is something not many people address.... Lupe ur the man!!
'Words I Never Said' - It just sounds so different from everything else that's out there and really stands out from the rest of Lupe's great music.
'Words I Never Said' - It just sounds so different from everything else that's out there and really stands out from the rest of Lupe's great music.
'Real'- It truly shows where hip-hop has gone in the last 10 years, and shows that there are stil cats out there that want 'real' music. It proves that everyone doesn't want to 'make it rain,' or kill a rivaled gang member. It also pushes a very positive message, 'Struggle... another sign that god love ya.' He also touches on what kids in the ghetto have to go through, 'cuz on the low, bein poor make you humble.' It's just an all around well rounded song that touches so many bases.
GLORY, the first verse alone is awesome "the TRUTH is limitless in its range, if u drop the T and look at it in reverse it could HURT.." the beat is awesome and the way it advocates being educated. thats why its my favorite haha
"The Cool" will always be my fav. first time i heard him recite the lyrics before the album dropped i cried.lol
Beautiful Lasers - I love Lupe for having the courage to speak this openly about depression. It will help so many folks knowing that they are not the only ones dealing with it. Much respect!

Baltimore County News
Kitty McIlroy, Student Intern, Baltimore County Bureau of Solid Waste Management
Senior, Goucher College Environmental Studies Major
When it comes time for holiday shopping, often it becomes a rush to find last minute gifts for family members and friends. If you plan ahead a little, you can avoid the quick purchase of a generic holiday card, store-bought wrapping paper or a gift bag. If you're like me, and feel guilty about this extra waste, then keeping a few holiday wrapping tips in mind will transform your holiday habits and keep your environmental conscience at ease. These "green" ideas provide a low-to-zero waste way to wrap and give presents to your loved ones this holiday season. Enjoy!
Waste Reduction and Recycling Tips for Holiday Wrapping:
Wrapping Reuse:
Reuse items such as packaging peanuts or take them to local mailing/shipping stores. Try to reuse all previous holiday wrapping items, even glass jars and tins. Get creative and use old maps, sheet music, comics, newspaper, calendars, magazines, shopping or plain paper bags and extra wallpaper to decorate your packages. Make your own wrapping paper by painting or drawing some original art with personal messages to make a one-of-a-kind gift. Even something like a nice cloth or bandana can be used as wrapping, and it can also be part of the present.
Back To Nature:
You can also purchase cards and wrapping materials made from 100% recycled paper. Also, don't forget material such as banana fiber "paper" and designs printed with soy-based inks. These materials eventually can be composted. Just by stepping outside you can find natural alternatives to store-bought bows by using sprigs of berries, holly, pine cones or shells. Additional decorations can come from organic materials such as leaves, ivy, lavender, rosemary or cinnamon sticks. You can even purchase wrapping paper made with wildflower seeds. These seeds can be planted after being unwrapped. Finally, when wrapping a present, natural twine or yarn can serve as an alternative to ribbons and petroleum based tape, and twine and yarn are reusable.
Crafty Card Ideas:
Reuse old cards to make gift tags or holiday postcards or take the old cards to organizations that will reuse them. Try making your own gift cards out of recycled paper or using zero-waste alternatives like "e-cards."
I hope this spurs your creativity and prompts you to craft some wonderful, eco-friendly wrapping designs. Send a picture of your handiwork to email@example.com and it might get posted online! Good Luck and Happy Holidays.

Rocking the stage or saving the world from SPECTRE?
The Noble Thunderball 007 is an homage to the 1965 Bond film of the same name. While early Noble guitars were imported from Italian makers Wandre and Eko by Don Noble of Chicago, by the mid '60s the Noble brand was music distributor Strum 'n Drum's imprint for their Japanese imports. This guitar has the obligatory mid '60s offset body, tremolo, and complex electronics arrangement a la Fenders of the era. While certainly an interesting and playable guitar for the early Japanese import enthusiast; it's rarity, condition and included ephemera make it particularly collectible for film buffs as well as guitarists. As for provenance, this comes to us from our pal Tom Petersson - Cheap Trick - who has a knack for finding some of the more curious examples of guitariana to cross our threshold. Original case included.

Reviews for Grilled Portobellos with Mozzarella Salad
"These were quite good.....And I don't even like mushrooms! I will make them again."
"This was absolutely delicious!!!!!!!"
"i cant wait to make these but im gonna use cilantro in place of the basil not a big fan of basil also gonna rub the muchrooms with olive oil instead of spraying although u can use olive oil spray or canola instead of vegetable just healthier thanks for the awesome recipe"
"I absolutely loved this recipe. The only change I made was using 1 teaspoon of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar."
"I didn't want to fire up the grill, so I broiled them for 4 minutes, turned them over, added the filling and broiled for another 3 minutes. It melted the cheese and brought out the sweetness of the tomatoes. It was awesome!"

Instead of chasing the last drops of dirty oil, we need to kick-start the clean energy age. We have one planet, and if we're going to protect it, everyone - from local communities, to businesses and governments - will need to come together to go beyond oil.
Our hundred year relationship with oil is at a crossroads. The Deepwater Horizon oil spill has shone a light on the far reaching consequences that our addiction to oil is having on the natural world and on the climate.

E-mail Coach Hays
Success has been a constant theme for Texas Tech softball coach Shanon Hays.
Already the winningest coach in program history, the Lubbock native enters his fifth season in the Red Raider dugout where he has led Texas Tech to four straight 30-win seasons and three trips to an NCAA Regional.
Since inheriting a program that was only 15-42 the year prior to his arrival, Tech has gone 151-77 under Hays, a .668 winning percentage that is among the best records nationally over the past four years. Add in his two seasons leading crosstown Lubbock Christian University and Hays is now 265-83 as a collegiate softball coach.
His work at Texas Tech has been one of the best transformations in softball over the past decade as he took a program that had not advanced to an NCAA Regional since 2001 and immediately led the Red Raiders to the championship game of the 2010 Stanford Regional.
The Red Raiders continued that success in the years following as well with selections to the Tucson Regional in 2011 and then the Seattle Regional in 2012 before narrowly missing out on the postseason a year ago.
Following his hire in May 2009, Hays spent the summer recruiting for that next spring where the Red Raiders, mixed with a group of returners and junior college transfers, finished 38-18 overall, a 23-win improvement from the previous season. Tech picked up victories over No. 7 Oklahoma State, No. 19 Florida State and No. 24 Baylor that year, marking the first time the Red Raiders had defeated a ranked opponent since the end of the 2007 season.
The Red Raiders added an additional upset victory at the Stanford Regional, knocking off the host Cardinal before falling to eventual College World Series participant Hawaii in the finale.
With the majority of that squad returning the following year, the Red Raiders wrapped the 2011 campaign with a 42-16 overall record that marked the highest winning percentage in school history. It was also just Tech's second 40-win season all-time as the Red Raiders were also 45-19 in 1998.
Tech opened the season with a school record 24-straight victories, including wins over No. 16 BYU and No. 12 California. The solid start helped the Red Raiders move into the top 25 of both major polls, breaking a decade-long drought where Tech had not appeared in the rankings since the end of the 1999 season. The Red Raiders climbed to as high as No. 19 during the year, the highest ranking in school history.
Hays became the program's first coach to lead the Red Raiders to multiple postseason appearances later in the year as Tech was the No. 2 seed in the Tucson Regional. After falling to New Mexico State in the tournament opener, Tech rallied to defeat both Harvard and the Aggies to eventually meet host Arizona in the regional finale.
The Red Raiders had possibly their best season under Hays in 2012 as Tech ended the year fifth in the Big 12 standings behind a 13-10 league record, which marked the program's highest finish and first winning conference record since 2001. Tech navigated a 13-game stretch against top-25 teams midway through league play where the Red Raiders finished 7-6 with series wins over No. 25 Baylor and at No. 9 Missouri along with a midweek victory over No. 5 Texas.
Tech wrapped the regular season with a No. 23 ranking in the rating-percentage index (RPI) poll, seven spots higher from where it ended 2011. The Red Raiders also appeared in the top-25 rankings before closing the season by receiving votes for the second-straight season.
For the first time in his tenure, though, Hays did not have the familiar faces of Emily Bledsoe, Logan Hall, Holley Gentsch, Ashley Hamada or Raven Richardson occupying spots in his lineup throughout the 2013 season.
Faced with his youngest roster to date, Hays was able to lead Tech to a 30-26 record that left the Red Raiders a few wins shy of advancing to the postseason for a fourth-straight season. The 30 wins, however, extended Tech's streak of recording at least 30 wins to four-straight seasons, the longest such run in program history.
School records have fallen in droves under Hays as Tech has broken over 20 single-season marks in just three seasons, including the majority of the offensive record book. In 2011 alone, the Red Raiders snapped the single-season records for batting average, runs, hits, doubles, home runs, grand slams, RBI, total bases, slugging percentage and walks.
Hays has regularly produced one of the top lineups in the nation as the Red Raiders spent most of the 2011 season with the highest batting average in the nation before ending the year fourth overall. Tech's .341 average that year was not only the highest in school history but it also snapped the Big 12 record that was previously set by Oklahoma in 2001. The Red Raiders averaged 7.17 runs per game, a mark that ranked fourth in the nation as well.
In addition to hitting for average, pitches have left the ball park in record numbers under Hays as Tech belted 58 in 2011 before smashing a school-record 66 a year later. The Red Raiders enter the 2014 season having hit 50 or more home runs in three-straight seasons after totaling 53 in 2013.
Eight of the highest single-season individual totals have come during Hays' tenure with Sandy James leading the group with a school-record 16 home runs in 2011. The top three leaders in career home runs - Mikey Kenney, James and Adriana Perez - all concluded their careers in 2013 with Kenney finishing with 45 homers over four seasons while James and Perez totaled 36 and 29 of their own after transferring to Tech.
While playing in a conference dominated by pitching, Tech has only been shut out 20 times under Hays as the Red Raiders have consistently been among the Big 12 leaders in most offensive categories. Over the past three seasons, only Texas has been shut out fewer times among current conference schools.
Six players - Cydney Allen, Emily Bledsoe, Logan Hall, James, Kenney, and Perez - have been honored with All-Big 12 or NFCA postseason awards since 2010. Kenney, who not only set the career home run record but the career marks for runs scored, RBI and walks as well, became the school's first All-Big 12 first team recipient since 2007 following the 2012 season as she was one of four Red Raiders on the all-conference teams, Tech's most since 2004.
Academics have also shined under Hays as Tech has earned 21 selections to the Academic All-Big 12 squads over the past four seasons, including nine in 2012 that ranked first among league schools. Four Red Raiders - Holley Gentsch, Ashley Hamada, Leah Legler and Brittany Talley - were also named to the Capital One Academic All-District teams a total of seven times in the past three seasons as well.
Gentsch, who remains with the program as a graduate student manager, earned the highest scholastic honor in program history in 2011 as she was named to the Capital One Academic All-America second team after being an all-district recipient for the third-straight season. Gentsch picked up third-team All-America honors the following year.
Tech's transformation on the field should come as little surprise after Hays' work at nearby Lubbock Christian. Following his appointment as the program's first head softball coach in 2006, Hays worked tirelessly for a full academic year, recruiting a full team for LCU's first season in 2008.
The Lady Chaps did not disappoint in their inaugural season, either, compiling a 60-9 record and claiming the NAIA National Championship which earned Hays NAIA National Coach of the Year honors. LCU advanced to the National Title series again the following year, finishing as the runner-up which eventually ended Hays' tenure with the Lady Chaps, who were 114-16 during that time.
His success at LCU garnered two Sooner Athletic Conference Coach of the Year accolades, while his players were also recognized at the national level with NFCA and NAIA first team All-Americans
Hays turned to softball after a successful career as a basketball coach that included two seasons on the Texas Tech bench as an assistant coach from 1999-2001 under James Dickey. He is the first person at Texas Tech to coach two completely different sports (one men's and now one women's).
Prior to accepting the softball position at LCU, Hays was the associate head men's basketball coach at the University of Houston in 2005-06. Working under head coach Tom Penders, Hays found his knack as a recruiter, helping sign one of the nation's top 15 recruiting classes in only his first season where the Cougars won 18 games and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in three years.
Hays began his collegiate coaching career as the head men's basketball coach at Frank Phillips College in 1995-96 where he earned Western Junior College Athletic Conference (WJCAC) Coach of the Year honors after the Plainsmen recorded a 19-9 record.
After a year, Hays moved to Abilene Christian University where he amassed a 58-26 record from 1996-99. He led the Wildcats to the NCAA Division II "Sweet 16" during the 1998-99 season, the furthest ACU had advanced in the national tournament since the late 1960s.
Following his two-year stint at Tech, Hays returned to ACU as the school's athletic director for an academic year. The coaching bug sparked again a year later, though, as he accepted the head coaching position at Midland College where he led the Chaparrals to a 30-7 record and a third-place finish at the NJCAA National Tournament in his only season at the school. Midland claimed both the Region V and WJCAC championships, earning Hays WJCAC and Region V Coach of the Year honors.
In each coaching stop, Hays has left as the most-successful head coach in school history according to winning percentage. He ended his collegiate basketball tenure with a 107-42 record as a head coach.
Coaching is a part of Hays' life that probably was inherited at birth.
The son of legendary Texas Tech baseball coach Larry Hays, Shanon Hays has been in locker rooms and dugouts for most of his life as his father spent 17 years as the skipper at LCU before, similar to his son, moving to Texas Tech and immediately turning the Red Raiders into one of the top programs nationally.
Larry Hays amassed 1,509 career wins over his 38 seasons at both LCU and Tech, a figure that still ranks fifth all-time in NCAA history. When not coaching on the diamond, Larry Hays could also be found on the fastpitch softball circuit as he pitched for several of the top local and national men's teams each summer.
Like his father, Shanon Hays and his brother, Daren Hays, both began playing fastpitch throughout their youth, traveling to several of the top men's tournaments throughout the country.
Following Shanon Hays' departure to Tech, Larry Hays replaced him as LCU's head coach for one season before Daren Hays, a former Texas Tech assistant baseball coach and director of operations, accepted the position to lead the Lady Chaps beginning with the 2011 season.
Shanon Hays began and ended his college career at LCU, graduating in 1991 with his degree in education after also attending Texas Tech and competing from 1988-1990 for his father on the Red Raider baseball team. He also was a member of LCU's baseball and basketball teams prior to that.
Hays graduated from Lubbock Monterey High School in 1986 and makes his home in Lubbock with his wife, Tina, two sons, Hunter and Heath, and daughter, Hampton.

Weight training for children
Douglas Mangan, MD, is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon on staff at Banner Estrella Medical Center.
Question: Is weight training safe for children? How do I know how much exercise is too much at a certain age?
Answer: Children from grade school to high school are competing in athletics of all levels and, though exercise is good for all children, every activity isn't suitable for every child.
Looking to achieve a competitive edge, parents and young athletes may find themselves bombarded with confusing, and often conflicting, information regarding the safety and effectiveness of youth strength training. Studies suggest children as young as 6 can improve strength and may enhance fitness skills and sports performance when following age-specific guidelines for strength training. Strength training shows no effect on growth patterns; however, parents should create a well-supervised program to decrease the risk of injury.
Body weight exercises (e.g., sit-ups, push-ups) are best for beginning a program. Early emphasis should be placed on abdominal and shoulder strengthening, as these appear to be "the weak link" and are more prone to injury in the early training periods.
For those ready to start using weights, proper form and technique should be emphasized throughout the program. If parents are not familiar with the proper form and technique, they should have their children work with a professional coach or trainer at least in the beginning of the program to prevent strain or injury.
Strength training should take place 2-3 times per week with a minimum of 1 day of rest between sessions and should involve all muscle groups with a focus on full range of motion to develop strength while maintaining flexibility. Workouts should include 10-15 minutes of stretching to warm up as well as cool down. Focus should be placed on participation and proper technique rather than the amount of weight lifted. Weights should be selected to allow 10-15 repetitions. When a child can perform 3 sets of 15 repetitions of a given exercise in 3 consecutive sessions, more weight may be gradually added. Using workout cards helps monitor progress. Adding variety helps optimize training and prevent boredom.
Strength training programs can result in significant strength gains and possible performance enhancement without significant risk of injury, provided programs follow appropriate guidelines and are well supervised. Care should be taken to allow children a voice in their participation. As a result, exercise in children can foster enjoyable, healthy habits that may last a lifetime.

For more information, please contact the Chair of the Philosophy Department: Dr. Russell J. Woodruff email@example.com
(716) 375-2470
Plassmann Hall B-2
The Philosophy Department offers a major program which serves two different goals.
For students who desire to achieve a general liberal arts education and who do not plan to do graduate work in philosophy, courses are selected to enable the student to become a cultured, liberally-educated person.
For students who plan to do graduate work in philosophy, the department has designated a faculty adviser for preprofessional philosophy. This adviser carefully selects a series of courses and seminars in order to give the students a firm grounding in the discipline and prepare them for acceptance into graduate school.
The department also offers a preprofessional program: Philosophy Prelaw.
Philosophy addresses one's life as well as one's career.
The aim of courses in the Department of Philosophy is to help the undergraduate student examine the ultimate nature of persons, the universe, God, the basic principles of moral evaluation as they apply to personal questions and social and political policies.
Since these concepts underlie most human endeavors, the study of philosophy, together with the practice of its methods of analysis and argumentation, prepares students to responsibly address basic problems later encountered, whether personal, social, or professional.
Nationally, philosophy majors rank second of all (nearly 100 tested) majors in verbal and analytical aptitudes.
Philosophy assists the student in reasoning well and writing effectively. Consequently, a Philosophy major serves as an excellent preparation for the professions, including law, business, and government service as well as for graduate study and the teaching of philosophy.

We're very lucky in Salt Lake. Or maybe just a little smarter. Many places–California (duh), Texas, Seattle–celebrate the tomato harvest by drinking beer, listening to rock and throwing tomatoes at each other.
Here, we just eat a lot of them. Whether you choose beer or wine, rock, bluegrass or reggae, doesn't matter. The point is, tomatoes are better celebrated by eating than throwing.
Wasatch Community Gardens leads the charge, of course, with their annual Tomato Days festival, a series of tomato-based events from August 17 through September 8. Plus, there are workshops coming up on growing and preserving tomatoes.
Here's the schedule:
Salsa Party (FREE!)
Music, kids' activities, dancing, chips and salsa from Rico's and TOMATOES!
Friday, August 17th 6 pm - 8 pm; Fairpark Garden- 1037 W. 300 N orth
Tomato Sandwich Party (FREE!)
and Fall Plant Sale (you have to pay for the plants)
Live music, kids' activities, Eat Local Challenge kick-off, our 2nd annual Fall Plant Sale, Whole Foods samplings and TOMATOES! (plus, enter to win a free Salt Lake magazine subscription)
Heirloom tomato sandwiches on Crumb Brothers' bread smeared with pesto made from the basil and garlic grown in our Youth Program gardens. In 2011, 1,000+ attendees ate 500 pounds of heirloom organic tomatoes and 10 gallons of pesto made from garlic and basil grown by WCG's Youth Program.
Saturday, September 8th 11 am - 2 pm; Grateful Tomato Garden - 800 S. 600 East
Tomato Days Dine-Around
Local farm-to-table restaurants feature heirloom tomato dishes on their menus during Tomato Days (remember, August 17th through September 8th) A portion of the proceeds go to Wasatch Community Gardens! Participating restaurants include:
Faustina ; Les Madeleines; Meditrina; Caffe Niche ; Pago; Sage's Café ; Tin Angel; Zy and Oasis Cafe
Oasis Cafe's Executive Chef Billy Sotelo has created a summer salad with heirlooms as the star. Available for lunch and dinner, it features a wide variety of ripe heirloom tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, saba, sea salt, arugula and fennel and sells for $13.
(Oasis Cafe is located at 151 South 500 East in downtown Salt Lake City. Reservations can be made by calling 801-322-0404. Hours are Monday-Friday 7 -8 a.m. for coffee and pastries, then 8 a.m. - 9 p.m.. Friday and Saturday 8 a.m. - 10 p.m. and Sundays from 8 a.m. - 9 p.m.)

Man injured in armed robbery on Seventh Street
Published: Saturday, September 14, 2013 at 7:45 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, September 14, 2013 at 7:45 p.m.
An armed robbery in the 1400 block of South Seventh Street on Saturday evening left one injured, according to the Wilmington Police Department.
Emergency room workers at New Hanover Regional Medical Center notified Wilmington police of the shooting about 6:30 p.m. after the victim arrived at the hospital for treatment.
The victim was not actually shot, but was instead hit in the head with the gun, according to Lt. O.M. Blanton.
The victim told police that he was in his vehicle making a phone call when the suspect tried to rob him at gunpoint.
There is evidence that a shot was fired in the vehicle, Blanton said, but the injury sustained was the result of a "pistol-whipping." The victim drove himself to the hospital.
Blanton said the incident is still under investigation.

Comptoir du Cacao is a French chocolate company that I discovered way back in 2006 and the New York City chocolate show. They had too many different chocolates to remember, but I did buy a box of their crispy pralines. I brought my swag home to share with my family, and to this day my Mom has never raved about anything more than the Comptoir du Cacao chocolate I brought home. I wish I knew more about the company itself, other than it is in France. Sadly their website is mostly in French, which I can't read, so their background will have to remain a mystery to me.
Fast forward to 2011's holiday season. My sister discovered a store in Manhattan who recently began selling Comptoir du Cacao's chocolates. As a Christmas gift ,she gave me these two chocolate bars of theirs. Having been so long since I have had them I was super excited for this opportunity again. Will they live up to my memory though?
Praline Feuillete: Noix de Coco
This bar is described as white chocolate with a coconut hazelnut filling. The package keeps the chocolate nice and safe, with a thick clear plastic around the chocolate and a sturdy cardboard case. The bar is sectioned off with two chocolate squares per row, and it's easily to break a piece off. You can easily see the filling through the beautiful white chooclate. Its smells creamy and extremely coconutty.
The flavor is very creamy and rich at first. You taste the sweet, buttery notes of the white chocolate and the richness of the hazelnuts right away. Then to coconut appears, it's delicate, and completely authentic. You can even taste the texture of the flakes of dried coconut in there. The mixture of the flavors is very harmoniuos and amazingly delicious. I really wish I had a more of this bar as I practically inhaled it.
Praline feuillete "caramel beurre sale":
This is the second bar I received as a gift. It's a salted caramel with milk chocolate, if I'm reading that French correctly. The chocolate is a pretty color with a nice medium tone and a very high gloss to it. Very gorgeous to look and an unusually beautiful for a milk chocolate (which is usually more matte in color).
This has a layer of praline in it, and when you snap off a piece you can see the center that is sandwiched between the chocolate.
The flavor is first of the rich, smooth and flavorful milk chocolate. Then you feel the crispiness of the salted caramel, as they're little pieces inside the praline. They're flavorful, very buttery with a nice kick of salt. Then you taste the extremely flavorful richness of the gianduja filling. It's very chocolaty and has wonderful notes of toasted hazelnuts. Just amazing.
I can't express properly how amazing delicious and incredible this chocolate it. It is beyond words delicious. I wish it was more readily available so I could have more of it (well, maybe not a good idea, I don't want to put 300lbs on in a week) and so that other have the opportunity to taste something so good. If you ever stumble across their stuff, I recommend buying it, it's something you won't regret.

I found this Tea Room Midnight Mocha along with the Pina Colada bar the other day in Cost Plus World Market. I'll say again, I love that store! It's a candy adventure every time I go in there. I was impressed to see that this is the first chocolate bar by the tea room to not have tea, but instead coffee, in it. Regardless, I was really excited to see a new flavor to try from them.
This bar is described to have 72% dark chocolate, yum! The wrapper is just gorgeous. It has rich tones of purple accented by bright pinks. Opening the bar it smells, deep, and earthy with a nice chocolate and coffee aroma.
The flavor is not acidic at all, which is a pleasant surprise. The flavpr starts off sweet and mild, with an excellent hint of chocolate. then the coffee flavor blooms with nice earthy tones kissed with cherries. It's a wonderful mix. The texture is smooth and silky, thankfully not gritty as some coffee chocolates are. The flavor blends beautifully and is a wonderful pairing. I was worried the mixture of dark chocolate and coffee would be too acidic. The flavor comes of rich and delicious, with excellent notes of both the coffee and the chocolate.
Coffee and chocolate are a winning combination no matter how you cut it, and this bar is a beautiful example of how a coffee chocolate bar should be. The flavor isn't acidic, the texture is silky (not gritty like some bars are) and the overall all balance of flavors is heavenly. One again The Tea Room hits another home run.
