Just because I'm new here doesn't mean I'm a two year old, so don't speak to me like one. I've read the rules and everything else you would tell a newbie to go do, so this is pretty much just saying don't treat me like an infant. You'll find me in the RP Board most of the time.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 9 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rae112 Great This salad spinner is great. Although it is not build the sturdiest, it gets the job done, especially for the price. I love that the top has drain holes so you don't have to take the top back off to drain all the water that has spun out. I realized my lettuce and spinach stay fresher and crisper when stored in my spinner. May 22, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by AmishCajun Works! We had been drying our lettuce on towels, blotting the tops dry, for years! Fed up with always having wet sandwiches, we decided to grab this salad spinner on a whim. It works very well. A few cranks of the pretty lime green handle and you can watch the water spin off the lettuce. It never gets it perfectly dry but it definitely does a better job than blotting. We'll have to try the paper towel in the mix idea offered by SKATEDANCER. At such a bargain price, you won't regret giving this a try. May 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by CrysLd nice & easy to use so far, I like this product.. I've only used it once since I've had it, but it works well and I'd definitely buy it again. it arrived in good shape, too. I also just LOVE the color of green that it is, it's so beautiful. March 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by skatedancer Excellent Product Before purchasing the salad spinner I checked around as I didn't want something costly. Then I came upon this salad spinner and read all the reviews and decided to give it a try. It holds a lot and takes out most of the water. As an aside I was recently told by a friend who has a spinner that if you want lettuce, etc. dryer to put a paper towel in with the item so I tried and it does work. I am completely satisfied with my spinner and with World Market. October 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stunme Great Spinner "You spin me right round, baby Right round like a record, baby Right round round round!" - Salad I needed a salad spinner for a long time and now I have a great one! It spins easily and quickly. It's very durable and the perfect size for me. I definitely recommend it! July 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kathie2013 Love this salad spinner Been looking around for salad spinners for a couple months. And didn't want to spend too much on them. Lots of places had them for around $30 . But found this one on World Market for $10. Was super happy that I found one for this price. Very happy with its performance thus far. July 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by grandma twins Got to have it. This really dries your salad leaves and easy to use. My sister in law had one I used, now I have to have one. June 26, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by SpendtooMuchMomma Best Price for this Product. I have been looking for a great price on this item and here it is, this is the same product I found elseware for [$]. I love it, it is easy to clean and works good and you can use the bowl to serve in. I also use it for all fresh veggies. May 27, 2010

After receiving the RIBA Barrington Smith Travel Award, Vinesh Pomal was fortunate to have his dear friend, Simon Drayson accompany him on his travels. His original proposal [seeing how the city of Bhuj has been rebuilt - both architecturally and socially - following a devestating earthquake in 2001] extended to include the Northern States of India. This enabled Simon and Vinesh to experience a diverse range of contexts first hand from both a phenomenological and pragmatic approach respective of thier individual architectural interests. Their collaboration provided a dialgoue of differences in search of new shared experiences and a new found understanding of self.

Here are the non-fiction books I bought recently:
Jeff VanderMeer:
Booklife -Strategies and Survival Tips for the 21st Century Writer
Joanna Russ:
How to Suppress Women's Writing
Rebecca Housel and J. Jeremy Wisnewski (eds.):
Twilight and Philosophy: Vampires, Vegetarians and the Pursuit of Immortality
Samuel R. Delany:
The Jewel-Hinged Jaw - Notes on the Language of Science Fiction
Lisa Fletcher:
Historical Romance Fiction - Heterosexuality and Performativity
Wendell, Sarah and Tan, Candy:
Beyond Heaving Bosoms - The Smart Bitches' Guide to Romance Novels
A few cookbooks
Most of those are research for my PhD and a paper I'm working on. In the past, I also bought a lot of non-fiction books on art, design, films, antiques and collectibles, though I buy less books on those subjects these days, because the excellent bookshop which had coffee table books and the like at reduced prices closed and the books are less accessible for me.
Oddly enough, I have never bought political non-fiction books and almost never biographies, i.e. the kind of non-fiction that sells best aside from self-help, diet and cookbooks.

Herman B Wells
ISBN13:by Capshew, James H.
Indiana Univ Pr
Questions About This Book?
What version or edition is this?
This is the edition with a publication date of 4/30/2012.
What is included with this book?
- The eBook copy of this book is not guaranteed to include any supplemental materials. Typically only the book itself is included.
Energetic, shrewd, and charming, Herman B Wells was the driving force behind the transformation of Indiana University -- which became a model for American public higher education in the 20th century. As James H. Capshew's carefully researched study demonstrates, Wells was a person of unusual sensitivity and a skilled and empathetic communicator, and his character and vision shaped the structure, ethos, and spirit of the institution in countless ways. Wells articulated a persuasive vision of the place of the university in the modern world. Under his leadership, Indiana University would grow in size and stature, establishing strong connections to the state, the nation, and the world. His dedication to the arts, to academic freedom, and to international education remained hallmarks of his 63-year tenure as President and University Chancellor at IU. Wells lavished particular attention to the flagship campus at Bloomington, expanding its footprint tenfold in size while maintaining the commitment to the woodland landscape as new buildings and facilities were constructed. Gracefully aging in place, he became a beloved paterfamilias to the IU clan. Wells built an institution, and, in the process, became one himself.
Author Biography
James H. Capshew serves on the faculty of the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at Indiana University Bloomington. He is author of Psychologists on the March: Science, Practice, and Professional Identity in America, 1929-1969 as well as numerous scholarly articles, and has served as editor of the journal History of Psychology and as editor for psychology of the New Dictionary of Scientific Biography.

One of my teachers' cats gave birth to kittens about three weeks ago and she's going to give them away. When I told my parents about it, asking if we could get one, my dad said he wanted to get the calico one. If this goes through, I could have two sexy cats instead of just one.
We used to have a calico before our current cat. I think she got eaten because one day she went off and never came back

Filter by media type:
The passionate and inspirational Hungarian conductor Ádám Fischer – for years an ardent advocate of free speech and creative freedom in his country – continues the great tradition of interpreting the classical repertoire. He is a conductor for whom the score of La Traviata, our end-of-year production, holds no secrets. Who is not familiar with the compelling beauty of this composition which fills us with emotion from the very first notes? The audience expects to be intoxicated and, determined not to disappoint, Ádám Fischer sees it as his inevitable, musical duty to ensure the music reaches fever pitch.
La Traviata is one of Verdi's most frequently performed operas. Where does the challenge lie for the conductor of this work?
La Traviata is the most intense score in Verdi's middle period and it always presents a tremendous challenge for a conductor. One should not be put off by the Italian 'humpapa' accompaniments in the orchestra. In fact, what I am looking to do here is to show that the orchestra performs the leading role rather than an accompanying role. The musical portrayal of the three vocal leading roles, who are well developed psychologically as conflicting but very human characters, is another wonderful challenge for a conductor. But apart from that, there are two more reasons why for me the opera is interesting today. Firstly, there is the social attitude, which has changed totally since Verdi's time. We no longer understand why a woman who has known a number of men should be regarded as inferior: in Verdi's time such a person was shunned like a leper; in my youth people believed that a woman who had suffered so much deserved forgiveness, and these days people don't even understand what there is to forgive… A society that thinks and behaves in such a Victorian manner that it denounces these women should be condemned, because a society that excludes people is founded on a lie. It is not the individual who is to blame, but society. And then we come on to the second reason Andrea Breth and I believe is important in the opera: the question of how a person reacts when he knows he is going to die. I would like to be able to portray this graphically through the music. That's why I would sum up my musical goal as follows: the music will always sound as if it is running a temperature of 38.6°C.
Why do you think La Traviata has become so famous?
I speak now as an old-fashioned opera conductor: the operas which have always enjoyed success are those written for the great opera stars. Those operas gave great performers the chance to show off their vocal skills. Verdi knew very well what he was doing with La Traviata and who he was writing it for. I am certainly not trying to claim that only the popular, successful operas are good! That is not the case. We can also interpret less popular works in such a way that the audience finds them convincing! But with La Traviata that problem does not even arise because the work is both good and popular.
You said you wanted to give the orchestra a leading role in La Traviata. How then do you deal with elements like the 'humpapa', the simple accompaniment which led Richard Wagner to dub the Verdian orchestra a "big guitar"?
I firmly believe that the 'humpapa' should be filled with content! The accompaniment should never sound mechanical. And you certainly shouldn't regard the work as inferior! To fill the accompaniment with content you must constantly be aware of which emotions are surfacing, and then you set about interpreting those emotions. The singer sings what he says, but the orchestra shows what he or she is thinking and feeling. The orchestra's job is to underline and serve the emotions of the drama. Whether it is joy or sorrow, I must be able to express every emotion with the orchestra alone. Technique should always remain in the background while the emotion takes precedence with the singers, because otherwise the accompaniment serves no purpose. When I accompany a melancholy passage with a 'humpapa' it will sound different from when I accompany a fear-stricken, heavyhearted passage with that same 'humpapa'… There's a world of difference between the emotions of the characters and consequently the orchestra will sound different too.
How important was or is Verdi in your career as a conductor?
I conducted a lot of Italian music particularly at the beginning of my career. In Vienna, where I made my debut at the Staatsoper with Verdi's Otello thirty years ago, I had charge of the Italian repertoire for quite a while because I was successful with it. I also conducted La Traviata at that time. I see myself as an opera conductor – or rather, as a theatre conductor – of the 'old school'. In that respect I may be indebted to Verdi… With the 'old school' it was important to bring together the right cast before deciding to stage a work. I still always think a good performance with the right singers of an unpretentious work like Hänsel und Gretel is preferable to a poor performance of a great repertoire piece like Carmen. That's why it is not so much what I perform as how I perform it.
I understand from what you have said that you will want to work very closely with the singers?
Yes, of course, I want to build the singers' full potential into my interpretation! For example, I see cuts as largely dependent on the singers: if a singer doesn't have a problem with specific passages, of course there is no need to leave them out, but if you notice that a singer moves more comfortably through the work if a certain passage is omitted, then I have no hesitation in dropping it. And if someone has an interesting idea, I take that on board too. My version is not set in stone. Directors often change things as they go along too. As I have said: in that respect I am very old-fashioned.
How are you finding working with Andrea Breth?
We have met regularly and discussed various theories and views, but the main theme that came up for discussion is how someone changes in the face of death, for example when suffering from a fatal illness. The music and technical side of this did not need to be an issue because I want to take full responsibility for solving any technical problems so as to allow Andrea to concentrate fully on the essence of the piece and that way have absolute confidence in it. Like her, I don't want to decide everything in advance and I want this production to take shape during the rehearsals. So in that respect I am old-fashioned... But don't misunderstand me: the method may be old-fashioned, but the staging and the ideas will certainly be innovative!
How important is the Zeitgeist when you study a score?
I take the time to study the Zeitgeist and the historical context in some depth. The musical performance practice of the time is also important to me, but so are other factors, like the sociology and the literature of the time. If you compare Alexandre Dumas' novel La Dame aux camélias with Verdi's libretto, you see that the opera is constructed in a totally different way dramaturgically from the novel: Dumas is actually more theatrical than Verdi. On the last page of his book Dumas changes everything and puts a whole different light on the story. Dramaturgically that has many possibilities. But I am a conductor, not a director! So I will leave it to Andrea to decide what she wants to do with it. I will be very happy if I manage to reveal the truth behind the words and make the audience feel the fever that runs right through the work. Those are the things I want to achieve in La Traviata.

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.
The skeletal trunk, that part of the body made up of the spine (back and neck), shoulders, and pelvis, acts as the major support system for the rest of the body.
Sometimes called the trunk or the torso, this area of the body is home to weight-bearing bones and joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerve centers that make movement and flexibility for the rest of the body possible.
Because of the complexity of its many tasks, the skeletal trunk is vulnerable to a profusion of disorders. Problems such as degenerative arthritis, nerve impingement, fractures, tumors - disorders that can also cause pain and disability in other parts of the body - are common to the skeletal trunk.

As might be expected, after a rather dry winter, the water level at Lake Powell (aka Glen Canyon Recreation Area) is down roughly 33 feet from 2011's peak.
Latest figures have the level at 3,627 feet above sea level. After a very heavy 2010–11 winter, the lake reached 3,660. And hydrologists say it would have hit the full mark of 3,700 had there not been extra releases approved.
The drop actually means very little to lake visitors. The face of the lake changes very little with the rising and lowering of the lake. It features the same steep red-rock cliffs, sandy beaches, blue waters, same landscape colors and lots of rolling slickrock.
There are some advantages to the lower lake levels.
First, the drop in water levels opens new beach property around the lake.
Second, the lowering of the water allows vegetation to grow that becomes vital fish habitat when levels eventually rise again.
Lake Powell is, in fact, one of Utah's top two recreational sites. First is Zion National Park. Last year Lake Powell drew 2.3 million visitors. Zion drew 2.7 million. Some years visitation numbers are about the same.
Some things have changed over the years. How people recreate, for example. Waterskiing was once the top choice of boaters. Now it's rare to see someone cutting across the wake on a single ski.
The latest toy is the surfboard and the introduction of the surf boat, which is a direct-drive boat with the ability to take on extra water. The extra weight makes for a larger wake for surfing.
Surfers start with feet on the board and holding a short rope. On command the boat pulls the rider and board to the surface. The rider then finds the "sweet spot'' in the wave, releases the rope and rides the wave. Easy.
So much so that many adults are starting out with a youngster in the water and riding the board as a double.
Tubing remains popular and manufacturers are responding by making floating tubes in all sizes and shapes. Wake boarding is holding its own and a few people are riding the air chair.
Personal watercrafts are still popular. Park staff are constantly reminding owners that the crafts are considered a vessel and lone riders must be 18 years of age in Utah and 12 in Arizona.
Also, National Park Service staff no longer allows self-certification of watercraft because of the rising threat of quagga and zebra mussels. It's mandatory watercraft be washed in hot water and certified clean at Bullfrog and Wahweap.
Fishing is still one of the main pastimes. Once a popular trout water, the lake now offers up a full menu of fish—striped bass, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, walleye, crappie, sun fish, catfish, northern pike, bluegill, perch and carp, but no trout. For a fishing report visit wayneswords.com.
Because of low water levels, the marina at Hite is no longer offering fuel service, so most of the camping is being done down lake, mostly from Hansen Creek above Bullfrog down to Wahweap.
And, of course, the other five marinas are open and offering all the needed sundries, including fuel, food, drinks and ice.
Boat and personal watercraft rentals are also available at all marinas but Dangling Rope.
Size: 186 miles long. Covers only 13 percent of Glen Canyon Recreation Area. When full is 27 million acre-feet.

Some people will do anything to avoid it. Even trade their immortal souls for endless existence.
Secretly, inexorably, they are infiltrating our world, sucking the essence out of unsuspecting victims with their hideous parody of a kiss.
Adam Thorne founded the Institute to study and destroy his monster of a brother, but the key to its success is held in the pale, slender hand of a woman on the run. There is something hauntingly different about Talia O'Brien, her unknowing sensuality, her uncanny way of slipping into Shadow.
This is the place between life and what comes after - a dark forest of fantasy, filled with beauty, peril, mystery. And Talia is about to open the door.
Publisher: Dorchester
Genre: Dark Fantasy Romance
Single Title/Series: SHADOW BOUND is book one in the Shadow Series.
Cover Thoughts: I'm really lovin' the mysterious beauty of this cover. It also portrays an inspiring likeness of the heroine and her powers serving as a fantastic reference for the description within. While its not my favorite, the cover does adequately convey the tone of the novel.
Why I Read It: I received an Advanced Review Copy from the publisher.
My Review:
Talia O'Brian is on the run for her life. A being not wholly of this world with her strange abilities to feel emotions with a touch and gather shadows with a thought, Talia has withstood an uncomprehending loneliness that most could never imagine let alone endure. With no one to turn to and no safe haven to hide, Talia is instead forced to flee city to city from the clutches of soul-sucking monsters on the hunt. They're after her and Talia can only guess that they know she's not entirely human and hope to utilize her gifts. When Talia is trapped by a monster within a stifling alley in the midst of an Arizona summer, it takes everything she has to keep conscious and hold the shadows securely around her but her hope fails when a man stumbles across her whispering her name. It's then that Talia can only feel an overwhelming sorrow that this stranger will soon die along with her.
Searching endlessly for Dr. Talia O'Brian, Adam Thorne has become desperate. Burdened for eight long years with the consuming need to bring about his brother's demise, Adam is sure that Talia holds the key to his success. Her dissertation on near-death experiences references a source having known a being called Shadowman. As a wraith, a changed human that feeds upon the souls of others, Adam's brother has mumbled the name Shadowman in fear early on in his capture. Now, after sacrificing eight grueling years of his life, after witnessing the deaths of his parents at the hands of his monster of a brother, as well as the pouring of millions of the Throne legacy into wraith research, Adam is not about to give up even when he finds Talia near death with heat-stroke and in the filthy hands of the immortal monsters he's so desperate to destroy. Plucking her off the streets and whisking her away to Segue Institute, Adam's wraith research headquarters, he soon discovers that Talia has more than just answers. She's the weapon he's been searching for. Finally he's found the means to destroy the wraiths that are so determined to enslave humanity.
Overwhelmed by the sheer masculinity that emanates in thick dark waves off Adam's person, Talia knows she's in real trouble of loosing her heart despite the fact that her instincts are roaring with the sour reality that she's undoubtedly a lab rat. A being to be dissected, tested, understood and then utilized to the fullest extreme. Already feeling cornered, Adam's tangible and burning determination to end his brother's life leaves Talia even more shaken and desperate to run. The horrifying experiences that Adam has been forced to endure by the very person he should have been able trust above all others, now has him craving murder. Having gone beyond a merciless death, Adam is now consumed by the whispers that call for a painful end for his wraith of a brother. Not wanting to be the weapon Adam is determined to wield, Talia formulates her escape but when people she's just met sacrifice their lives to keep her safe, Talia begins to build the resolute determination needed to fulfill a destiny that she's only just beginning to understand.
Irritated that he meets the woman of his dreams in the midst of a war against immortal monsters, Adam doggedly tries to restrain the flaming desire that burns with raging intensity for Talia. For eight years he's been consumed with only one person, his brother, now Talia has taken residence in his thoughts plaguing him with haunting dreams of another life, one where they could have loved each other undaunted and without the stain of fear and death. But when it's death knocking heatedly at their door, both Talia and Adam can't hold back the flood of yearning that explodes between them. To hell with thinking another life, another time. Their time is now and once they seize each other, once they allow themselves to be caught in the maelstrom of their love, it's then that they become unstoppable.
My Thoughts:
SHADOW BOUND is unlike any other reading experience I've had to date. Its a fast paced, heart pounding, gut wrenching, nail biting, awe inspiring thrill ride that will leave you begging for more and more.
Adam Thorne is a hero of heroes. Kellison leaves little to the imagination regarding his raw masculinity that becomes a pulsating aphrodisiac for both the heroine and the reader. His fierce predatory nature dominates as he sets his sites on Talia where nothing can deflect the sharpness of his locked gaze. He's stubborn, determined, a bit over-bearing but its all a product of his heart and the fierce drive he feels to protect what's important. Adam is heat and sex incarnate as his essence explodes off the page along with his determination to put an end to the war that threatens humanity. But what decidedly comes across most is Adam's all consuming desire and love for Talia. This is a man that does nothing half way so ladies, get ready to fall in love.
Talia, in most aspects, resembles a typical fantasy heroine with her reluctance to face her destiny and her fears regarding the power she wields. It takes drastic events to sharpen her focus and to finally bring to light the fact that she's capable of defeating the threat at hand. Instead, what makes Talia unique is her shadow altering powers, her heritage, and the destiny that awaits her. The twist Kellison put on the Fae and the crossing humans make from Earth to Heaven is incredibly fascinating and as tantalizing detail after tantalizing detail is unveiled, your investment in the book, the heroine and her plight, becomes absolute.
A warning: the evil in SHADOW BOUND isn't stymied or overshadowed. It's laid out in all its gory and horrifying details. The body count is steep and the author shows no mercy on both beloved secondary characters and villains alike. Thus, the love scenes are borne of adrenaline and the very stark reality that Adam and Talia have a high death probability making their need fierce and palpable. This is a story where your trust will be betrayed and your heart will hurt, but your love and faith in Adam and Talia doesn't falter, it only builds.
For fantasy lovers that desire a heart pounding thrill ride, a hero to dominate over all heroes, a uniquely powerful heroine, all swirling around a core of intense romance, look no farther than SHADOW BOUND.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Buffalo Sabres owner Terry Pegula favours re-signing goalie Ryan Miller and forward Thomas Vanek to long-term contracts, while acknowledging both players will have a say in determining their respective futures.
"We want them here," Pegula said Tuesday in a 24-minute interview during the Sabres-controlled segment on Buffalo's WGR-Radio. Pegula, however, shared fans' concerns in noting that one or both players may elect to leave once their contracts expire after next season
Speaking publicly for the first time in two months, Pegula backed oft-criticized general manager Darcy Regier's ability to continue rebuilding the Sabres roster. Pegula added that Ron Rolston did such a good job in closing the season as interim coach that he left the Sabres no choice but give him the job on a full-time basis.

No matter what topic I am teaching, three aspects of my pedagogy remain constant: critical analytical engagement with texts and media, active participation, and dialogues around social justice. From Africa on Film to Philosophy of Science Fiction, my courses examine issues of inequality—for example, trade imbalances between rich and poor countries, histories of imperialism, and contemporary struggles around race, class, and gender. My goal is always to develop, as a class, skills of inclusion, empathy, and dialogue that help us to both broaden and deepen our understanding of social relations. With that in mind, I emphasize the value of transnational approaches that traverse multiple scales of analysis and diverse geographical contexts; social construction theories that combat limiting forms of essentialism; and analytics of race, class, and gender that raise awareness of everyday forms of privilege and disadvantage.

My research draws upon studies of feminist international political economy, development, global trade, and sub-Saharan Africa, especially that continent's political-agricultural and colonial histories. Specifically, my work has focused on the cocoa industry in Ghana and the global trade of cocoa and chocolate. I have been especially interested in the ways that West Africa, the world's largest cocoa producing region, is represented or "sold back" to consumers of chocolate in North America and Europe—or, more typically, left out of consumer discussions entirely. I have also worked closely with emerging artisanal chocolate makers in the US, a market segment that has grown rapidly in the past decade. As part of my broader engagement with global studies and a focused intention to generate fresh comparative perspectives in my research, I have recently begun studies of the polar regions, including four months working at a historic site on the Antarctic peninsula. Alongside my continued engagement with West African culture, agriculture, and political economy, I am interested in the dynamics of human engagement with the polar regions and the increasing resource extraction and tourism opportunities in both the Arctic and Antarctic.

So I'm on MSN, and Chrizz IMs me. We talk amiably for awhile until he informs he his ex just sent him naked pictures of her. I tell him to get them up and he says he can't.
Now I'm not one for the stereotypical whiped men king of queens beer advertisment "man law" definition stuff, but you absolutely do NOT tell another guy you have naked pictures of your ex and then not immediately show them. It's just not right. It dosn't work that way at all.
I don't care if he has to go around to random people asking if they have a ub link able he can use to transfer them from his cell to his computer, he MUST upload them.
Come on put the pressure on him. She's probably Mexican and I've been fancying that sort of thing lately.

On the value of volume
"I grew up in Queens, New York, and that's why, to this day, I love big hair. I'm old school and still use Sebastian Shaper Hair Spray [$20; drugstores], which gives me volume and hold."
On being a late bloomer
"I thought I'd be Clair Huxtable [fromThe Cosby Show] in my forties: married with five kids and a career. But once I got on the journalism fast track, I accepted that marriage and kids weren't in store for me. Then, at 34, I fell in love and quickly married [CBS president and CEO Les Moonves]. At 39, I was pregnant."
On getting older—and wiser
"Life gets fuller and richer. Yes, your body changes, and you have to work harder to keep in shape. But the benefit of being wiser makes it worth it."
On her anti-aging mentor
"I used to watch my mother lie in bed rubbing her hands together, then pressing them to her face. She said it prevented lines. She's 79 years old today and doesn't have a single wrinkle."
-As told to Nikki Ostasiewski

Piranhas No More
In 2006, Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen gave the Minnesota Twins the nickname "piranhas" for there ability to "peck away" at you until they finally succeed. Basically, Ozzie was just frustrated that a team featuring the likes of Jason Bartlett, Lew Ford, Luis Castillo, Nick Punto, Juan Castro, and Jason Tyner could beat his band of sluggers. The Twins were that pesky team you should beat, but don't more often than not.
Just recently, though, Guillen announced that the Twins were no longer piranhas. You know what I say to that? Great!
It was fine to watch that small-ball, attacking style of offense over the course of the regular reason, but once the playoffs were at hand it always failed us. It's common sense, really: give too many important at-bats to Punto, Brian Buscher, Tyner, or the like, and eventually (once you face good pitching) you will start to falter. That is exactly what happened in the 2006 ALDS against the A's.
Really, it comes down to this. Take a look at these two players, and tell me who you would rather have up in a key spot against, say, Mariano Rivera in the playoffs:

Box Score | Box Score | 2012-13 Statistics
Postgame Report
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Once again, No. 19 UCLA needed a strong finish in order to avoid losing to an unranked Pac-12 opponent at home.
And once again, the Bruins got it.
Nirra Fields scored 13 points, Thea Lemberger hit a go-ahead 3-pointer midway through the second half, and UCLA held on to beat Arizona State 54-50 on Sunday.
"It wasn't a very pretty game to watch for sure, but I'm proud of our mentality," Bruins coach Cori Close said. "But sometimes as a coach it's easier to deal with learning how to take care of the ball than it is to develop strength mentally."
UCLA (15-4, 6-2) took its first lead with 11:31 remaining in the first half and never trailed again. But the Sun Devils (11-9, 3-5) kept it close throughout and tied the game at 38 with 7:59 remaining. Lemberger then hit her 3-pointer to give UCLA the lead back and they held on tightly from there.
"Two-thirds of our team has never been thru a Pac-12 season and they don't have any returning starters to show them the way," ASU coach Charli Turner Thorne said. "We've lost a lot of games like this to top teams, so it's truly just a matter of experience and learning how to pull these out."
The Bruins took a 23-21 lead into halftime despite shooting only 33.3 percent and turning it over 15 times in the first half.
In three of their last four home games _ all against unranked conference opponents _ the Bruins led by four points or less at halftime. In their other game, they trailed by one at the break. Each time, they were able to win.
UCLA shot only 41.3 percent from the field and turned it over 23 times, but was able to overcome its offensive struggles using the strong defense and rebounding.
The Bruins held the Sun Devils to 36 percent shooting from the field and outrebounded them 35-26. They also forced ASU into 19 turnovers of their own.
"I was proud that we showed some strength mentally to rely on our defense and our rebounding to hold us even thought we were struggling on the offensive end," Close said." We said we were going to build this program on defense and rebounding, and that's what we had to rely on to win today. That's the kind of mental toughness we need to be able to have."
Janae Fulcher was the only Sun Devil to hit double figures, finishing with 13 points.
"Just lack of execution (on offense)," Turner Thorne said. "Our point guards did not do a good job of getting us into our offense and just getting us flow. I don't know really why."
The Bruins' lead was down to three points or fewer multiple times down the stretch, including 48-45 with 1:45 remaining. Fields then nailed a key 3-pointer to give the Bruins the breathing room they needed.
UCLA has won the last seven meetings between the two teams dating back to February 2009.
The victory completed a sweep of the Arizona schools for the Bruins, a week after they suffered losses to No. 7 California and No. 6 Stanford.
"Our goal for this week was to come in and go strong and bounce back," said UCLA senior Jasmine Dixon, who battled through a back injury to score 12 points. "Every team in the Pac-12 is pretty good, so we just had to buckle down and grind."
UCLA will look to extend their five-game home winning streak when they host No. 20 Colorado and Utah next weekend.

No matter how you look at it, Memorial Day is a pretty fantastic holiday. Not only do we get a chance to recognize the people who sacrifice for our country's safety and freedom, but we also get a day off work (if you're lucky) and we get to officially kick off summer.
If you still believe in that once-upon-a-time tale of "no wearing white between Labor Day and Memorial Day," this weekend is your chance to break out the bright white again. (But really. Why would you limit yourself to wearing a color only 4 months out of the year? Seems silly, if you ask me.)
With Memorial Day on our doorstep and July's festivities just around the corner, let's give a little nod to patriotism, sans sporting a literal American flag. Pair your summer white with red or blue stripes, solids or ombre prints and get in the summertime spirit.

Puppy Love
The Party
A mix of 400 guests and their four-legged companions gathered at Galleria Marchetti for the eighth annual Animal Magnetism benefit hosted by PAWS Chicago.
The Scene
A reception featuring tasty bites and signature "muttinis" fueled lively banter as many pet owners lined up to have their portraits drawn by caricaturist Darick Maasen and receive a reading from animal communicator Alicia Halloran. Dinner kicked off with an address from Gov. Pat Quinn, who was on hand to receive an award for his commitment to animal welfare.
The Highlights
While furry guests enjoyed their own doggie buffet and "pupcakes," the event's emcees, radio personality Christopher "Brotha' Fred" Frederick and HGTV's Alison Victoria, led an enthusiastic paddle-raise that, within minutes, garnered more than $20,000. "To see those hands fly up to donate made me choke up," says Victoria. "We are the voice of those animals in need." And a strong voice it is: This year's benefit netted $130,000, a new record for Chicago's largest no-kill shelter. –Photos by Sparenga Photography

It's the musical that set Romeo and Juliet dancing through New York's Hell's Kitchen—and sent a generation of girls' hearts racing. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Broadway hit turned movie West Side Story, two collector's editions of the film will be released November 15 (MGM/20th Century Fox Home Entertainment; Click here to buy). Both feature newly-restored images, stills and commentary. Here, Rita Moreno, who won an Oscar for her role as Anita, shares her memories.
Q Can you believe it's been 50 years?
A Yes, because I'm about to be 80! That's the only way.
Q What do you remember most about the movie?
A It was the hardest I've ever worked in my life. At the time I got the role, I hadn't danced in 15 years. I remember being intimidated by the enormous talent of the young dancers. [Choreographer] Jerry Robbins would make you do things 10, 20, 30, 40 times. He made us as great as we were capable of being.
Q As a Puerto Rican, how did you feel about the role of the Puerto Rican heroine, Maria, going to Natalie Wood?
A Well, I thought it was strange. Anybody who had brown eyes and brown hair was screen-tested, and it's possible that they weren't up to the mark, but I don't think that was the reason. Natalie was beginning to get a name for herself, though she wasn't a big, big star yet. On the set, I wasn't crazy about her. She wasn't friendly. Nothing about her behavior was wrong, just distant. Now I suspect she felt out of her element, and she was.
Q Early in your career, it seems as if you were just dropped into any ethnic role. Were you worried you'd never break free of that typecasting?
A I thought of it every two minutes. I spoke better English than most young actors, because it was important to me to communicate. That's one of the things that were so frustrating. You wait for a job, and you wait and you wait. Then you get one, and you're jubilant—until you get the script and see you're playing a slave girl from Ethiopia. I have been a Gypsy, an Arabian girl, an Indian girl, and of course all of these required an accent, which was so hurtful and damaging. It began to distort my image of myself. I was the utility ethnic.
Q Tell us about your new one-woman show, Life Without Makeup, now playing at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre.
A It is an unvarnished look at my life, starting with my arrival in America. We have five musical numbers and some wonderful dancing. I have a brand-new left knee, so I call it "sort of, kind of dancing."
Q On top of that, you're filming the second TV season of Happily Divorced, playing Fran Drescher's mom. How do you do it all?
A I feel like this year's Betty White! I am just flying. It is so much fun.

Baltimore County News
Ed Adams, Department of Public Works Director
Jim Lathe, Highways Bureau Chief
It's November and the skies seem to have turned on us. Hurricane, wind and snow storms are suddenly on our minds. Baltimore County's Department of Public Works took a look at storms over the past dozen years, and found some interesting facts.
- July 2010 to June 2011 saw the most storms (12), but nowhere near the most snow accumulation. That record goes to 2009, when 10 storms, including dual blizzards, dropped an estimated 84 inches of snow on the County.
- The cost of a ton of road salt almost doubled from about $30 in 2000 to nearly $60 in early 2012. Current prices have fluctuated down a bit to $53 per ton.
- The County used 102,042 tons of salt during 11 storms in 2002-2003.
- Superstorm Sandy alone cost the County's Public Works department $230,486.
This storm related cost data and more is now available on the Baltimore County's Highway Bureau web page at www.baltimorecountymd.gov. Data will be updated after each significant storm event. As County Executive Kamenetz said, "This is just one more way we are making government transparent."
If you live or work in Baltimore County, you'll want to bookmark the Snowfighters web page at www.baltimorecountymd.gov/snowfighters for updated information on road conditions including salting and plowing operations throughout the County.

How Many in the Clown Car?
Chris Buttars' partner in Amendment Three, Draper GOP Rep. LaVar Christensen, is back and always happy to set moral boundaries for the rest of us. Known for his rambling speeches quoting the Founding Fathers, Christensen is a dedicated advocate for heterosexual parents' rights and "character education." This year, he pushed failed legislation requiring that every publicly funded social program be reviewed to make sure they "promote the family."
Rep. Stephen Sandstrom, meanwhile, is rabid about deporting undocumented immigrants. He sponsored Utah's carbon copy of Arizona's enforcement-only immigration bill. Ever ambitious, he's thinking of running for Congress. Sen. Margaret Dayton is in the car, too, with a priority list that includes pushing the University of Utah's medical school to accept more BYU graduates; changing the rules for private investigators after her son, an apprentice P.I., got into trouble; and this year, exempting Utah-made guns from federal firearms rules.

|Associate Head Coach
- BORN: June 2, 1961
- HOMETOWN: Renton, Washington
- COLLEGE: Washington State University (B.A., 1983)
- HUSBAND: George
- COACHING EXPERIENCE: Washington State University, 1983-86, graduate assistant coach; University of Iowa, 1987-91, assistant coach; Penn State, 1994-95, assistant coach.
- WSU APPOINTMENT: 1995 - Assistant track and field coach; 1998 - Associate head coach
Debra Lombardi Farwell, a 1983 Washington State University graduate, joined the WSU coaching staff in the fall of 1995 and the Cougars throwers have stretched the measuring tape ever since. A highlight from the 2013 season was Anna Adamko's runner-up finish in the javelin at the Pac-12 Championships. In the 2012 season a pair of freshmen women climbed into the javelin all-time records as Christine Kirkwood tossed a distance of 164-2 for fifth-best and Adamko threw the spear 159-7, seventh-best in all-time records. During Farwell's coaching stint 14 school throwing records have been set including Marissa Tschida tossing the school javelin record of 186-1 in 2010, and Courtney Kirkwood throwing the second-best mark in WSU history of 173-8 in 2011 after eclipsing Tschida's freshman record in 2009.
Farwell's corps have reached national acclaim throughout her career. Tschida won two Pac-10 javelin titles, joining previous Cougar conference champions Ian Waltz (discus, 1999) and Molly Monroe (javelin, 2000). Tschida placed third at the 2011 NCAA Championships, earning her third All-America certificate while Kirkwood took ninth at the national meet and reached All-America for the second time.
A cadre of throwers have become All-Americans under Farwell's mentoring. Matt Lamb and McKenzie Garberg tallied three All-America certificates each: Lamb's were all in the discus and Garberg had two in the discus and one in the hammer. Lamb finished 10th at the 2008 Olympic Trials, won the NACAC U-23 title in 2009, and his discus toss of 204-7 is the third-best in school records. Garberg shattered the hammer school record by tossing 210-3 in 2008.
Farwell coached eight-time All-American thrower Ian Waltz throughout his collegiate career as Waltz rewrote Cougar history in the shot put and discus events. Waltz was a member of the 2004 and 2008 US Olympic Teams, and won the discus at the 2008 Trials. Other Farwell-coached All-American throwers include: Andrea Thornton (2001 discus and hammer), Tim Gehring (2004 shot put) and Curt Borland (2004 javelin). Gehring finished 15th in shot at the 2004 US Olympic Trials.
Originally from Renton, Wash., Farwell held the WSU women's outdoor shot put record of 14.70m/48-2 3/4 from 1981-86. She was an AIAW national qualifier in the shot put in 1982. Farwell was also a pioneer in the woman's hammer thrower as one of four Cougars competing against two women from the University of Montana in the first collegiate women's dual meet hammer throw event in Pullman March 27, 1982. She threw a 35.74m/117-3 on that day and the following week set an unofficial collegiate women's world record of 38.34m/125-9 in Eugene, Ore. In 1994, the NCAA added the women's hammer throw as an official event for the 1995 season.
A graduate assistant coach for the WSU track and field program from 1983-86, Farwell contributed to the program under head coaches Jessica and Rob Cassleman. She also was a teaching assistant in the WSU physical education department in 1985, instructing beginning weight training and conditioning, and field event classes.
From 1987-91, Farwell served as an assistant track and field coach at the University of Iowa where she was responsible for coaching the throwers along with the multi-event athletes and developing a strength and conditioning program for all track athletes. She received her USATF certification for levels I and II in 1990 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado. Farwell was the assistant track and field coach and exercise science and sport activity instructor at Penn State University in 1994-95.
Farwell is a 2007 graduate of the NCAA Women's Coaches Academy.
Also committed to community involvement, the Cougar throwers have washed cars and raised over $17,000 to donate to local community members in need in the past 12 years.
Farwell and her husband George enjoy the company of their two dogs, Wolfie and Fergie, and traveling.

August 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rorie Quaint sign I bought this sign and the Fresh Baked Pies Served Daily sign for the window in my kitchen and the window next to my breakfast table. I hang them from nails above the center top of the windows and they look really cute. There are just blinds on these windows, no curtains, so the light comes through the glass of the signs. I do recommend these products if you like that quaint shabby chic look. August 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by suzieq101 lunch sign I love this sign, real wood frame, looks great in my kitchen on my red wall, can see message from a distance. I put a frame hook on the back so I wouldn't have to hang it from the wire. Awesome!! I look at it everyday.......... March 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by KimberSam2552 SUCH A CUTE ADDITION TO MY KITCHEN I LOVE THIS SIGN! ITS JUST THE RIGHT SIZE AND FITS IN PERFECTLY WITH MY DECOR. FOR RIGHT NOW I CHOSE NOT TO HANG THIS, AND JUST USE IT ON MY COUNTERTOP. IM NOT SURE HOW I AM GOING TO FEEL ABOUT A VISABLE NAIL HOLDING UP THE WIRED SIGN. IM HOPING TO FIND A SOLUTION I LIKE. BUT FOR THE TIME BEING, I LIKE IT PROPED UP ON MY BACKSPLASH. December 7, 2013

There's a reason brides wear white. Sure there's the whole purity thing or whatever, but have you ever seen a bride that doesn't look absolutely stunning in her white, perfectly tailored gown? I mean, really. The bride is half the reason people go to weddings. (Food is the other half, am I right?)
Brides have been wearing white since the beginning of time, and it doesn't seem to be going out of trend any time soon. Sure there are different variations of the hue - I, for example, selected an ivory shade for my wedding day - and different ways to accessorize it, but really that's what makes it so great. And so timeless. It never goes out of style.
Although that old "white after Labor Day is a fashion faux pas" thing is dead and gone, summer still seems the best time to break out the bleach. Because if you're anything like me, you won't spill on yourself until you're decked out in white.
This summer, take a risk. Deck yourself out from head to toe and see how good it feels. A tip: stock your purse with one of these stain remover sticks. Most likely, you'll need it.
