Last week, when the Colorado men's and women's programs hosted Buffs Madness, Roberson got a brief, blissfully sweet taste of how it's going to be next month when the regular season begins.
She was blown away.
"I was warming up and asking myself if I was really doing this," she said. "When I actually get to the game, I know I'm going to be asking if I'm really out here. I'm going to be ready, but I know I'll also be like, 'Oh, my God, is this really happening?'"
At long last, yes, it will be.
What Roberson was certain she would be doing last year at this time was delayed by a left hip ailment - a torn labrum - that wasn't diagnosed until well after she arrived at CU to begin her freshman season. After a month or more of specific exercises and physical therapy prescribed to relieve periodic back pain she had experienced at Wagner High School in San Antonio, further testing revealed the hip problem.
Surgery was performed in early December, shelving Roberson for the 2011-12 season. It wasn't crushing, but it was close. The most frustrating part, she said, was "not being able to be with my team the way I thought I would be - on the court. I've never had to sit out in my life. That was probably the biggest shellshock. I think just that whole preseason was a drag, trying to make it day to day in classes, have it carry over through the night . . . that was a big bummer."
On a daily basis, Roberson might be as upbeat as anyone on the CU campus. "Everybody enjoys Arielle," said her coach, Linda Lappe. "She's got a smile on her face all the time."
At times, though the smile required work. "Once I got that (news) and the doctors said I couldn't play anymore, that hit me really deep," Roberson said. "I never expected that. I'm sure I expected some bad news, but I didn't expect it to end my freshman season. It was definitely really tough to swallow."
But Roberson is a battler, and throughout her fight to return she had the support of her teammates and the CU staff. The Buffs knew what she was going through.
"Her teammates really empathized with what she went through last year," Lappe said. "They respect the fact that she's really worked hard in her rehab to get to where she is today. Anytime she does anything well her teammates are really happy for her and proud of her. I think she can feel that from them."
Roberson's first-year ordeal "weighed on us because we knew how bad she wanted to play as a freshman . . . it was hard on her and we knew it," said junior guard Brittany Wilson. "But she was one of us, one of the family. She's like a little sister to me. Now she's back and we're with her."
"That's just the nature of this team," Roberson said. "They're always there to pick somebody up who's having a bad day; they're always there. Now that I'm getting back in, sure I make mistakes - I think that's inevitable - but I kind of pick myself up and coach has been harping on that. But I'm getting positive feedback and I think that really helps because I like to be perfect. And when I'm not, and knowing I'm not yet what I once was, they can see that and the coaches can see that. I think they all do a really good job of trying to keep my spirits up and have me focus on the positive things that I am doing."
Roberson is 6-1, lithe and athletic. It runs in the family. Her brother, Andre, is a 6-7 junior wing for Tad Boyle's CU men's team. They are the only brother-sister tandem in the Pac-12 Conference, and believed to be one of only five in Division I basketball.
Aside from "family tournaments," Arielle and Andre didn't compete much growing up in San Antonio. "He played more with his friends, me with mine," Arielle said. "It wasn't like, 'Hey, Andre, let's go play.' He liked to play with his guy friends and they always went places I couldn't get into."
But they could compete in the backyard tournaments, which might have ranked among San Antonio's top amateur sporting events. Their father, John, played hoops at New Mexico State and professionally overseas for 12 years. Their mother, Lisa, was a New Mexico State volleyball player. Two of their sisters, Ashlee and Amber, played basketball and volleyball at Texas Tech and Texas, respectively. Those guys peering over the fence? They might have been college recruiters.
Arielle's and Andre's games aren't mirror images of one another, but they're very similar. Lappe can see it. "For sure," she said. "They play very much alike in terms of their nose for the ball and getting off their feet quickly, their ability to score over bigger players on the block . . . Arielle gets off her shot fairly well. Just their feel for the game; both have a very good feel for the game. She's blocked numerous, numerous shots where she's come out of nowhere - and that's a lot like Andre.
"She might not block them above the rim quite like Andre, but she gets up and comes out of nowhere a lot of times. So that's exciting . . . just her defensive play in general is. She has quick feet in the post and can guard multiple positions - outside and inside players. She's really good at moving her feet, getting deflections."
Andre led the Pac-12 in rebounding last season (11.1 a game) and was third nationally. He also tied for the conference lead in blocked shots (1.8 a game) and averaged 11.6 points a game. He was the only Pac-12 player to average a double-double.
Arielle can see glimpses of Andre's game in her own, but defers to her big brother in the board work. "He has a better knack for the ball in rebounding," she said. "But I can definitely rebound as well. He might be a tad bit better, but I will get the knack."
She also sees a shared unselfishness in their games: "We kind of look for others before we look for ourselves . . . I think that's a positive. But we're both slashers."
The difference, though, she added with a laugh is Andre "finishes with a dunk, I finish with a layup . . . but for the most part, I guess we like to do the dirty work and then clean it up."
Lappe missed having that cleaning service last season as the Buffs began Pac-12 play. As a high school senior, Arielle averaged 18.2 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists, three steals and two blocks per game. North Carolina and South Carolina chased her, but CU caught her - and it wasn't because Andre already was on the Boulder scene. "It was a bonus, though," Arielle said.
Her rehab has gone well, bringing her back to "about 95 percent" of where she needs to be when the Buffs open the season on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 11 against Idaho at the Coors Events Center. "I'm still trying to work on getting some of my quickness back. I lost that."
But she's retained enough of her overall athleticism and feel for the game to impress Lappe, the CU staff and the Buffs. During the first week of practice, said Lappe, "She struggled a little because she hasn't played in over a year . . . it took a while for her to get into flow of drills and five-on-five play. It seemed like everything was going 100 miles an hour in her head. But this week we're already seeing that start to slow down a little. She's starting to get back into the flow. That just shows her athleticism and ability to do that so quickly."
Added Brittany Wilson: "It's excellent to have her back. She's so very versatile. She's going to get a lot of mismatches on whether she's at the 'three' or the 'four.' She can drive, she can shoot. It adds a whole different twist to our game now."
Lappe is eager to work Arielle into the Buffs' lineup to relieve some of her other players from playing out of position. At 6-2, senior Meagan Malcolm-Peck has an inch on Arielle, but she "has played most of her life on the outside," Lappe said. "Putting her on the low post is different for her. But she's had to play some 'four' and she's more of a guard. She's tall, but she doesn't bring the length that Arielle does. And Arielle has played most of her life on the block, so she has a good feel down there."
But Roberson concedes that getting all the way back will take time. "My post moves are not as fast as they used to be," she said. "I'm relearning how to maneuver around bigger players. But the timing is going to come. For the most part, I'm pleased with where I am but I'm not content."
Arielle expects her parents to be in town for the CU women's opener as well as the men's on Friday night, Nov. 9 against Wofford. "I know that's going to be a great experience," she said. "I'm really looking forward to it. I can see it, I can taste it . . . I'm just really ready and excited for it to come. It all feels so good."

CHARLESTON, Ill. -- Amid tornado warnings and heavy rain, the Southern Illinois men's and women's cross country teams were still able to take home team titles today at the EIU Walt Crawford Open.
Due to inclement weather, the men's and women's races were combined into one large race, with the women stopping at 5K and the men continuing to 8K. Twelve schools participated, and for the Division I schools involved this was scored as a double dual meet, which scores each team against one another instead of one large meet.
The Saluki men dominated as they took the top five spots. Sophomore Nick Schrader took the win in the men's 8K with a time of 25:26.36, narrowly edging out freshman teammate Juan Carrera, who clocked in at 25:26.60 with his second straight top-five finish. Not far behind were sophomore Even Ehrenheim (third), freshman Oscar Medina (fourth) and unattached freshman Brandon Shemonia (fifth), who all finished within 10 seconds of the lead time.
"Especially with Zach (Dahleen) not running today, this was an important race to see how we can compete without him," said head coach Matt Sparks. "Nick (Schrader) and Juan (Carrera) ran especially well. This was important to see which of our young guys were going to step up."
On the women's side in the 5K, the Salukis placed six runners in the top-20, four of them in the top-ten. Sophomore Lacey Gibson paced the Salukis in third place with a time of 18:13.74. Sophomore Sadie Darnell (sixth), and freshmen Kristen Levi(seventh) and Kelley Gallagher (ninth) also finished in the top-ten.
"I'm very proud of the women, too," Sparks said. "They ran in a pack at the top the whole time, which helped us get the team win there as well."
The Salukis return to action here in Carbondale on Sep. 22 at 10 a.m. for the Saluki Invitational.

We love restaurant week! We always books several reservations and use this time to get together with friends we haven't seen in awhile, or just reconnect with each other.
Salum knocked it out of the park. We were thoroughly impressed with the level service, the inventiveness of the menu and the execution of the food.
Abacus served some of the best dishes we've ever had.
What a great way to show off great restaurants in Dallas while raising money for such a worthwhile cause. Thanks to all the restaurants for going out of their way to make this annual event so special.
loves to dine out
we had dinner at arcodoro, charlie palmer, stephen pyles, cadot, and dragonfly. unfortunately all failed to impress. from too
small portions to sloppy plate presentations. too bad….all a missed chance to impress.

As students here, the midterm season and academic grind in general have surely worn us down. We all need something new to stimulate the senses once and awhile. So if you're in the mood for some free (free, FREE) local art and entertainment, the Berkeley Art Museum is the place to be. This fall, the BAM (an apt acronym) is putting on a variety of different events, most notably the severely underrated [email protected] Friday Nights concert series hosted in the heart of the Barry McGee art exhibition. And to top that off, it's absolutely free to students with Cal ID! Here's some trivia: did you know the series is in its third year? We had no idea. This could be one of Berkeley's best kept secrets.
We got a peek at local printmaker and graffiti artist Barry McGee's art installation, which spans three floors of the BAM. Here are some of our favorite pieces of the exhibit, to give you a taste of his distinct style:
But, of course, there's so much more to see! There's probably stuff hidden behind walls that we didn't even get to.
The concert series, which has featured Devendra Banhart and SF-based favorite the Dodos this fall, to name a view, is hosting a colorful mix of artists ranging from rock to classical and everything in between. A few weeks ago, we happened to catch Bay-area bands Astronausts, Etc. (in his first show!) and Young Prisms here at the BAM to continue the 50th anniversary festivities of our very own UC Berkeley-affiliated radio station KALX. What's really unique about the stage setup is that there is no boundary between artist space and audience, so it creates an intimate feeling like you're one with the artist. We totally recommend it to anyone interested in a refreshingly different live music experience!
In sum, it's a sure-fire feast for your eyes and ears — a perfect weekend treat for the college student on a budget!

SEATTLE (Ivanhoe Broadcast News) -- Down syndrome is a genetic disorder that occurs in about 1 out of every 800 births. Now, a new test can tell you whether your baby's at risk just 11 weeks into your pregnancy.
He's a healthy 4-year old, and Griffin Gonzales's mom, Amy, knew he would be just weeks after she was pregnant. "It was very reassuring," she says. "I think it really helped us enjoy the rest of the pregnancy knowing that everything looked good."
Amy took part in a national study to test a new way to detect the genetic disorder Down syndrome. The new technique combines an ultrasound and a blood test and gives women results in just 11 weeks. Currently, women have a blood test at 16 weeks, then choose whether to have riskier follow-up tests like an amniocentesis. Screening five weeks earlier allows them to decide whether to have more testing sooner and what to do if something is wrong.
"Now, at 11 to 12 weeks of pregnancy, a diagnostic test could be done and within 24 hours, they could have preliminary results available," says David Luthy, M.D., a perinatogist at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle.
In the study, the new screening correctly identified 87 percent of fetuses likely to be born with Down syndrome. The standard blood test only identified 81 percent.
Amy also had the new screening with her second pregnancy. And she says she'd definitely have it again. "I think this is a great, non-invasive screening test that gives you a lot of information without putting any risk," she says, and it put her worries to rest sooner.

The announcement by prime minister Kevin Rudd and minister for transport Anthony Albanese on high-speed rail suggests both men at least want to maintain the momentum of the debate on the project.
Firstly, Mr Albanese released and praised an advisory report suggesting the viability of such a project.
Mr Rudd then committed to set up [...]
The Greens' Shane Rattenbury is celebrating the launch of a Greens' report on the wonders that will flow from high speed rail:
"The report commissioned by the Greens is an important addition to the debate, as it identifies an enormous $48B of benefits for our nation. These benefits are frequently forgotten when people look at the [...]
7 News brings word that NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell is pushing for an expansion of Canberra Airport and a fast rail link to solve Sydney's air congestion:
Mr O'Farrell ruled out supporting a second airport in the Sydney basin.
"If you want to have greater flights into this city, do so as happens overseas, by using [...]
The much leaked High Speed Rail Study has been released to the public and fortunately Canberra has been included on the Brisbane-Melbourne mega route.
But before anyone gets excited this "Phase One" report doesn't touch on financial viability, that will have to wait for "Phase Two", which is expected in mid 2012 (all before a single [...]
The Economist have an interesting article on the economics of very fast trains, particularly comparing Japan's Tokaido route with the planned San Francisco to Los Angeles train in California.
Considering that every five years or so a Lyle Langley wannabe proposes a taxpayer funded VFT linking Canberra to Sydney as a universal panacea this is a [...]
The Age reports that the ancient mirage of the Very Fast Train has again been sighted with the federales ponying up $20 million to look at the idea again.
Worryingly there's feature creep before a sleeper laid with the trunk route of Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne now sprouting Brisbane and Geelong.
The Canberra Times is reporting that Terry Snow wants to push the Rudd Govt to back a new proposal for a VFT link between Canberra and Sydney.

Significantly more women are being arrested for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol in California, according to an analysis of Department of Motor Vehicles data performed by the KPCC public radio station.
Women accounted for about 11% of DUI arrests in 1989, according to the California Department of Motor Vehicles, and that number increased to about 24% in 2011, which is the last year for which statistics are available.
"They were somewhat stable in the 1980s and then began to go up and just accelerated, particularly from 1999 to 2011," said Steven Bloch, senior research associate with the Automobile Club of Southern California.
Young women were largely responsible for the increase in statewide DUI arrests in that time period. In Los Angeles County, DUI arrests of women ages 21 to 30 years old jumped by about 134% from 1999 to 2011.
Another group that stood out during the same period was women over the age of 50:
- Arrests of women age 51 to 60 years old rose by 81%.
- Arrests of female drivers age 61 to 70 climbed by 67%.
- Women older than 70 saw a 76% increase in DUI arrests.
Conversely, overall DUI arrests for male drivers in L.A. County fell from 1999 to 2011, with the only age group seeing an increase being men between the age of 51 to 70 years old.
The Traffic Injury Research Foundation found similar results in a survey of women arrested for driving under the influence in California, Michigan, Missouri, and New York.
"We don't know if more women are drinking and driving," Erin Holmes, who is with the foundation, said. "All we do know is that more women are being arrested."
Researchers have yet to come up with a definitive reason to explain the rise. One explanation is that law enforcement has made it a priority to get impaired drivers off the roads.

For the fifth straight year, NBC Executive Producer Sam Flood will have his favorite production toy at his disposal in order to showcase the entire scope of the NHL's most-watched regular-season game, the Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic.
"It's not in a building; it's outdoors, so we have an airplane," Flood said. "I was so proud in Buffalo that we played the first replay of a goal from an airplane. We knew we were the first people to do that because no one ever covered a game from an airplane before, so we thought that was a pretty neat trick. We've done that every year because we think to be able to see how big it is and how grand the playing field is below.

Our preview of LSU's 2011 football opponents and the rest of the Southeastern Conference continues with a look at Western Kentucky. We're counting them down one a day through July 16.
Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (7 p.m. Nov. 12, Tiger Stadium)
2010 Record: 2-10 (2-6 Sun Belt)
Bowl: None
Coach: Willie Taggart (2-10, 2nd year at WKU)
Starters returning: 7 offense, 8 defense
Top returners: Passing – QB Kawaun Jakes (149 of 291, 1,680 yards, 10 TDs, 6 INTs); Rushing – RB Bobby Rainey (340 carries, 1,649 yards, 15 TDs); Receiving – WR Marcus Vasquez (30 catches, 332 yards, 3 TDs); Tackles – SS Ryan Beard (71 total tackles)
Noteworthy: Growing pains abound for WKU, which is in just its third season in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). … The Hilltoppers were winless in 2009 and beat ULL 54-21 and Arkansas State 36-35 last season. … WKU's offense will basically go through Rainey, an All-SBC tailback who led the conference in rushing in 2010. Jakes needs to continue to mature at quarterback. The Hilltoppers suffered a blow in the spring when top WR/KR Willie McNeal was lost for the season with torn knee ligaments. … The defense needs to mature after giving up 33.2 points and 380.2 yards per game last season. Beard and CB Tyree Robinson (7 PBUs, 2 INTs) anchor the secondary. … First-year WKU defensive coordinator Lance Guidry is from Welsh. He played and coached at McNeese State and is the father of former Tennessee FS Janzen Jackson. Guidry served as interim head coach for Miami (Ohio) in its GoDaddy.com Bowl win over Middle Tennessee when ex-LSU assistant Mike Haywood left for Pittsburgh. … This will be the first meeting between the Tigers and the Hilltoppers. LSU is a combined 34-0 against current members of the Sun Belt Conference.
Tuesday: Ole Miss

Coasteering in Wales: It Only Sounds Dangerous If You're Listening
Imagine climbing and leaping from cliffs into the Atlantic surf, then being buffeted helplessly about by whirlpools and tidal currents. Now imagine doing it safely and laughing yourself breathless.
Invented in Wales, coasteering combines extreme sport and environmental consciousness-raising amidst the cliffs of the achingly beautiful Pembrokeshire coast.
Death-defying alone, it's perfectly safe with protective equipment and a local guide who reads the ecologically sensitive coast like a big-print hymnbook.
It requires wetsuits, lifejackets, helmets and trainers (which may not return home after their experience in the sea).
Though physical, coasteering's not overwhelming. If you can walk Disneyland or the Louvre for a morning, you can coasteer. (My 11 and 14-year old daughters loved it.)
The experience should be on every thrill-seeker's bucket list, right after driving the Welsh coastal roads. An adventure in itself.
Driving there is just as terrifying.
Where we stayed:
Our day began 20 miles up the road in St Brides Castle, the former country estate of a wealthy Victorian industrialist with delusions of grandeur. St Brides is just one of dozens of culturally interesting private hotels the Holiday Property Bond owns throughout the world.
Only members of this British-based vacationers' club can rent apartments there by the week. They're completely self-contained with everything from cutlery and saltshakers to maps to a TV with DVD.
St Brides castle looks like something a sneering rock star would own. "Look. It's St Brideshead!" I joked when we first crested the hill before it. The kids began humming the Harry Potter theme and my wife recited the French soldier's stream of insults from the Monty Python sketch.
How we got around:
In late June, nearly the height of tourist season, Southwest Pembrokeshire seemed to have just one cab for about 100 square miles. The one time we called for it, we waited two hours, then paid at least four times what the four-mile ride would cost at home (Toronto, Canada) and were accompanied by a screaming toddler whom the cabbie was minding on the side. It was a chilly afternoon and young Grace had been napping till we boarded the taxi. Then she hollered blue murder for the 15-minute ride.
Fortunately, we rented a car.
We found a huge bargain online with Europcar. Total cost for two weeks was under US $550 (including tax) for an economy French putt-putt with a standard transmission but only 6,000 miles on the odometer.
That included a full tank of gas and, since we used a gold card, the insurance was covered. No charge for mileage. If you ever rent a car in the UK, don't ask for an automatic transmission unless you have no choice and lots of money.
Be brave driving Elvis country
Napolean standardized traffic in continental Europe, decreeing that all would move on the right. Popular belief holds that the British chose the left to spite the French. Spiteful or not, it makes each drive a mini-adventure. Everything's flipped, from the steering wheel to the gears to the way the windows roll and, of course, the roads.
Furthermore the signs are bilingual, English and Welsh – a consonant-heavy maze Tolkien wouldn't have forced on orcs. The effect is charming, unless you're trying to get somewhere.
Pembrokeshire is gorgeous, featuring hundreds of shades of green countryside and hundreds more shades of pink in the locals' faces.
This is where Elvis Presley's ancestors lived – both are common Welsh names – and they advertise it in the oddest places. One village has an Elvis souvenir shop in the post office.
But, beautiful as Pembrokeshire is, 'road' exaggerates what you're driving on. Most roads are barely wider than a king-size bed except for passing spaces – paved wedges grudgingly extended into the farmers' fields every few hundred yards – where the less aggressive driver halts until the other zips past, maybe acknowledging you with a slight nod.
Driving here produces an emotional first: quaintness with terror.
Imagine dropping a plate of spaghetti on your front steps. Congratulations: You've just engineered the Pembrokeshire road system! Bring a map and PhD in geography. It's hilly, curvy and baffling.
A sudden bend around a bump and you're often face-to-face with another driver on a 14-degree incline. You may need to reverse, curving uphill to find a passing wedge.
Furthermore, roads are often flanked by 20-foot hedgerows. You feel like Luke Skywalker zipping through the surface channels of the Deathstar without the benefit of the Force.
Not that any of that slows the local drivers. If you ever make it as high as 4th gear, you're either suicidal or local.
The coasteering experience began in Britain's smallest city.
Great Britain is composed of three nations: England, Scotland and Wales. Each has its own customs, accents and eccentricities but all three share certain laws and rules.
A side-effect of this national mash-up is some bizarre laws. Take their definition of a city: that's any place with a cathedral, population be damned!
St Davids is an attractive settlement of just 1,600 – a few hilly streets so quaint you'd swear the place just leapt off a toffee tin. But it's a 'city' because of its marvelous medieval cathedral.
Given St Davids' size, it's easy to find the adventure tour-guide companies: they're on the road. For instance ours, TYF Adventures, is at 1 High Street, the British equivalent to Main Street.
TYF Adventures is very granola
"TYF are the first Carbon Neutral Adventure Company In the World," says their Customer Services Manager, Ross. "Protecting the environment is at the core of everything we do."
Translation? We would hike the extra mile to the coast from their base, rather than chugging there in some TYF-branded Hummer.
But the upside was our tour guide. While expecting a Welshman called David or Gwyn, I wasn't disappointed with Dean, a transplanted English surf-dude with a Swedish surname. His knowledge of the local flora and fauna was intimate, almost infinite.
Our group of six included a researcher from the tourism board in Wales' capital, Cardiff. Dean didn't miss a beat when questioned about the nature of the moss clinging to the cliffs, the animals in the local food chain or the history of a broken down and malodorous water pump whose miraculous healing powers feature in local legend. (None of us drank, though I blessed myself just in case.)
Dean kitted us out in wetsuits and helmets. If you wanted, you were welcome to squeeze into old running shoes left by previous coasteerers. We didn't.
Our party hiked, squidgily, downhill to the coast. Several times, Dean pointed out interesting birds and wildflowers. The sun came out. Pembrokeshire pamphlets love to boast that they're Britain's third sunniest spot. Not a headlining selling point.
Still, in our black, form-fitting wetsuits, it actually became hot, a rare experience in Wales. Minutes later, the Atlantic remedied that.
Ever notice how similar 'dive' and 'die' sound?
"Who wants to go first?" Dean asked. The path along the dramatic bluffs off the Pembrokeshire coast are dotted with simple graphic signs that show a silhouetted hiker plunging head-first amidst crumbling cliffs. No words, English or Welsh, are necessary.
Upon our arrival, we gingerly descended a cliff to a seven-foot jump towards the onrushing surf. I volunteered to go first.
"Geronimoooooh!" Splash!
Later there were much higher jumps, but this first one was for most of us the hardest. The tourism rep had brought his nephew along as a treat but, at this point, it probably seemed more of a punishment. The kid didn't find the pluck to jump until after both my daughters had leaped. He imitated my Canadian accent.
You hit the water and suddenly you're in a blender. We slammed into one another, like peas and carrots in a boiling pot of vegetable soup. The buoyant wetsuits were insulating and further buoyed by life preservers. So there was no chance of being sucked away by undertows.
The current dragged us, floating, into a tight circular inlet. Because of its wave action, this fascinating geographic formation was dubbed the Toilet. Like wind tunnels created between skyscrapers, heavy waves would squeeze into this cliff-bowl and instantly elevate all six of us.
Then when the waves receded, we descend by 15-20 feet within 2.5 seconds.
"Fluuushshshsh!" We all sang, plunging, as it were. Then we screamed like schoolgirls when shot upwards again. We milked this heart-stopping toiletry fun for about 10 minutes, then following Dean, swam out to another jumping spot.
"See the seals?"
Dean pointed to a narrow inaccessible beach between sheer cliffs nearby. Two seals were sunning themselves, aware of us but unconcerned from nearly 100 feet away.
We moved away from them, over out-jutting spurs of rock and through a couple of inlets to a gentle whirlpool whose diameter was about 18 feet. Riding it was like being on a carousel, only we were the crazed carnies, cackling meaninglessly.
For two more hours we explored caves and climbed steep jagged rocks to leap into the crashing sea. The highest jump was a vertebra-rattling 25 feet. Our extremities were yellowy and numb by then and we were hoarse.
Remember that wobbly, thankful feeling when you're back on firm land after being at sea? Being in sea, amplifies it. The mile hike back was uphill. That was okay.
A medieval thanksgiving
My wife and her parents met us back in St Davids where, somewhat dizzy, we toured the magnificent cathedral. It lies in a plunging ravine, flanked on two sides by dozens of ancient tombstones.
Just two weeks before Charles, the Prince of Wales, had officially reopened it after a complete restoration.
Outside, it still felt creepy at noon during one of the longest days of the year. I didn't want to contemplate what it would be like midnight on Hallowe'en after a couple drinks.
Inside it was as grand as any European church I've ever seen. I was dumbfounded. Funny how intense physical experiences can awaken our non-physical spiritual side. Not at all religious, I nodded to the splendid stained glass window in the soaring spire mumbled gave thanks for the morning's experience.

Reports: Marlins showing Jose Reyes, Albert Pujols, Mark Buehrle the money
According to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports, the Marlins have made free agents Mark Buehrle, Jose Reyes and Albert Pujols "substantial" contract offers. SI.com's Jon Heyman also reported the Marlins have made left-hander Mark Buehrle an offer as well.
The Marlins hosted Reyes on Wednesday and Pujols toured the ballpark Friday, before the official franchise transition from the Florida Marlins to the Miami Marlins.
In any scenario in which the Marlins accommodate both, their 2012 payroll likely would well exceed the widely projected $85 million or so. Keep in mind, the Marlins still want two add two starters and a closer.
Some pundits have suggested the Marlins may just be out front with some of the top available free agents to drum up excitement about the Miami Marlins brand. Stan McNeal of the Sporting News is among those who's not buying it. The Friday evening crew on MLB Network also brought up that possibility.
I have a hard time believing the Marlins' are not legitimately interested in these guys. I also have a hard time believing they're going to have the payroll to support both players and address the rest of their needs.

Artist: Michael Buble
Album: Crazy Love
Genre: Jazz
Didn't they always say we were the lucky ones?
I guess that we were once
Babe, we were once
But luck will leave you cause
It is a faithless friend
And in the end when life has got you down
You've got someone here that you can wrap your arms around
So hold on to me tight
Hold on to me tonight
We are stronger here together
Than we could ever be alone
So hold on to me
Don't you ever let me go
There's a thousand ways for things to fall apart
But it's no one's fault
No it's not my fault
Maybe all the plans we made would not work out
But I have no doubt even though it's hard to see
I've got faith in us and I believe in you and me
So hold on to me tight
Hold on, I promise it'll be alright
Cause it's you and me together
And baby all we've got is time
So hold on to me, hold on to me tonight
There's so many dreams that we have given up
Take a look at all we've got
And with this kind of love
What we've got here is enough
So hold on to me tight
Hold on, I promise it'll be alright
Cause we are stronger here together
Then we could ever be alone
Just hold on to me
Don't you ever let me go
Hold on to me, it's gonna be alright
Hold on to me tonight
They always say we were the lucky ones

Project Number: 6060-13000-023-19
Start Date: Jan 01, 2009
End Date: Aug 31, 2012
Use the wave tank facility housed at the NSL to investigate the effectiveness of vegetation for dissipating wave and storm surge energy. First, rigid elements in regular spacings will be subjected to monochromatic waves, and the results will be compared to currently established theory to ensure proper measurement and operation of the wave tank facility. Successful completion of this phase of work will lead to experiments with flexible elements and live vegetation being subjected to both monochromatic and random waves. Vegetation type and flexible model scales will be based on native vegetation in coastal areas.

I currently have an Apple XServe G5, running OSX server 10.4. As you can imagine, 10.4 has become increasingly annoying due to the high difficulty of updating the server software (Apache, PHP, MySQL, not to mention ClamAV). I am considering putting Ubuntu on this server (I've already found the build to support the PPC arch.), however I would like some assurance that I will be able to find replacement packages for everything that 10.4 can do. Right now my main concerns are:
- File Sharing via AFP (No 'just use FTP' please, many of my employees vastly prefer how their Macs interact with AFP in Finder and the like).
- Mail server.
- Load balancing via Crossroads.
- Are there any packages that support the special hardware on an XServe, such as the system identifier light and the intrusion switch
I already have two webservers (AMD boxes) running on Ubuntu so I'm not unfamiliar with the software, it's just that this server has many more responsibilities than just web and database serving.

LAREDO, TEXAS (KGNS) - Providing more jobs, upgrades to the international bridges, and buying equipment to better protect the community, all items the Laredo City Council wants to talk about.
$600-million is what the City of Laredo has to work with the challenge is to figure out how to spend that money, to get the most bang for the buck.
"We're gonna be discussing all the elements related to the city and look at the major departments in the city and outline what they plan to budget for," said City Manager Carlos Villareal.
Villareal says public safety is one of the items at the top of the list.
"There's gonna be additional academies for fire and police men, what we plan to do about equipment and their needs."
Randell Flannery move to Laredo, six years ago.
"I think it's a great idea, and we need as much protection as can."
Another item the city will discuss is opening the library on the south side of town, Flannery says it's needed.
"I really approve of the libraries. I'm originally from Dallas and Laredo's a real nice community and the libraries are great and use them all the time."
Villareal say the city also wants to provide more jobs.
"What we're gonna be doing is hiring additional people. We just opened up some new parks and venues, and the maintenance and operation of these centers will never stop, we have to fill these positions in order to take care of
the facilities."
Villareal says the goal is not only to balance the budget but to provide a better quality of life.
The upgrades to the international bridges will go toward the weigh and motion equipment, which will allow18-wheelers to move more steadily.
The current weigh and motion equipment is 50-year-old, and by making these upgrades will help move trade a lot faster.

History Behind the creation of
American Academy of Ayurvedic Medicine, Inc. (AAAM)
The American Academy of Ayurvedic Medicine, Inc.
(AAAM) was conceived and created during a dinner meeting at the 2nd Conference on Ayurveda for the 21 st Century - New Paradigms for Health, October 31, 1999 sponsored by Bharatiya Vidya
Bhavan, New York City, N.Y. During this meeting it was unanimously agreed that Ayurveda is a true Art and Science of healthy living as well as being the oldest continuously practiced health care discipline in the world. Ayurveda is supported by historical information and also forms the basis of many eastern and western health care disciplines. In spite of Ayurveda being a prime healing science, it has suffered great deal of neglect and discrimination by various internal and external forces in India and abroad. It has not achieved its proper position and recognition as a health science due to a lack of proper infrastructure, clinical and academic support.
Therefore, in order for Ayurveda to accomplish its goals and objectives, a need was felt for an integrated approach for a standing comprehensive committee consisting of Ayurvedic practitioners, educators, researchers and administrators from India and USA. This committee can only accomplish its objectives by the proper support and infra structure of public and private partnerships such as the Indian government, health ministry, elite Ayurvedic institutions, academic institutions inclusive of other well known Ayurvedic organizations in India and USA, National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, National Institute of Health
(NCCAM, NIH) and notfor-profit Indo US Organizations such as Bharatiya Vidya
There is a lack of recognition by state governments, academic institutions and public in the USA for
Ayurveda. The properly trained, Ayurvedic-aware health care provider is almost non-existent in America resulting in Ayurveda being practiced by a few trained or partially knowledgeable practitioners. In order for Ayurveda to be recognized as a proper health care discipline, there is a need of well-trained practitioners and clinicians trained in Indian sub continent, Europe and US, who are aware of health care issues in North America. At present, there are many problems related to clinical practices of Ayurveda such as, lack of recognition, licensure and appropriate malpractice insurance for the practitioners.
American Academy of Ayurveda, Inc. (AAAM) is the outcome of these questions that will endeavor to provide the methodology by which Ayurveda may be improved and recognized as a health care discipline in the west particularly in North America. The AAAM will work to obtain the necessary recognition for Ayurveda as health care discipline, obtain licensure for practitioners in US States, and develop practice guidelines, quality of care and standardization of products. Further, the AAAM will work towards formulating a proper education program for Ayurvedic students and impart training to professional teachers as well as to the public. Education shall be based on sound Ayurvedic principles, encourage clinical, basic and health system research and dissemination of results in peer reviewed journals.
The future for Ayurvedic practice is brighter, but there is great deal of it to be accomplished in a comprehensive, collaborative manner by current Ayurvedic organizations, practitioners and other interested parties. Thus, the
Founding Members, unanimously agreed to form the American Academy of Ayurvedic Medicine, Inc.
(AAAM), and shall work towards developing the steps necessary to alleviate the shortcoming for recognition and education in

I'm working on a Game Engine in Java and been trying to make the decision process for onscreen drawing take the least amount of time. So I've been using a lot of HashTables nested in HashTables. I know it might be bad coding practice but I really want to know if there is any depth of nesting that will actually break my program from running?
No, the depth doesn't matter (until the memory runs out, at least)
Just use
Generally no, if you take the view that the general purpose of a hash table is one of scalability: i.e. to make operations have a "constant" time overall whatever the number of elements. Having to calculate multiple hash codes per operation doesn't in principle break this scalability guarantee.
Depending on your implementation, there may obviously be other considerations such as space/number of placeholder objects involved.
If the latter types of consideration are a concern, then consider using a large hash table with a combined hash function.
Generally bad? No. But I've yet to see a game where deeply nested hashtables make sense. From what you're describing one gets the impression that you should take a good look at BSP trees.
It probably makes much more sense to use some of the high level frameworks anyhow instead of reinventing the wheel (badly).

You know you can use yoga for balance, flexibility and stress relief. But did you know that you also can use it to boost your calorie burn and weight loss? Cathe Friedrich is a famed exercise guru, creator of numerous best-selling fitness DVDs such as "Cathe Friedrich's XTrain Series: All-Out Low Impact HiiT" (click for details) and "Cathe Friedrich: XTrain Tabatacise."
And here's what Cathe revealed in a recent blog: "Power yoga burns between 300 and 400 calories per session." Plus, all types of yoga boost your ability to burn body fat, according to a study funded by the National Cancer Institute.
Over a 10-year period, people who did yoga lost five pounds. Those who didn't do yoga gained an average of 14 pounds during that same period.
Cathe has created a yoga fitness DVD that helps you to get those same weight loss wins: "Cathe Friedrich's Low Impact Series: Yoga Relax" (click for details).
Her words of wisdom:
Yoga can be a part of a successful weight loss program, especially when you alternate it with higher intensity exercise sessions. It's like yin and yang – they balance each other and help keep you balanced.
Yoga can help change your mindset, how you think about food, and help you eat more mindfully. It also relieves stress and even changes the relationship you have with your body. There are lots of reasons to add yoga to your fitness schedule whether you're trying to lose weight or simply maintain.
For those higher intensity exercise sessions, try Cathe's Flex Train and cardio-packed, calorie-crushing Cathe's X10 (click for details).

Abram Bissell
New York, NY
Alsace-born chef Gabriel Kreuther takes inspiration from his surroundings at The Museum of Modern Art to create bold, modern gastronomic masterpieces. The museum's stunning, sunny Bauhaus-style dining room overlooks the sculpture garden; it's hard, though, to take one's eyes off the rarified French dishes that Kreuther forges into tiny works of art. A lengthy international wine list offers many fine Alsatian choices.

Paseo de la Presa de la Olla 76, Guanajuato City
Opened in late 2006 on Guanajuato's most prestigious street, Hotel Villa Maria Cristina immediately became the top choice in town and is the clear winner for pampering service, fine dining, and consistently pleasing rooms.
One of 13 Mexican hotels that is part of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World group, Villa Maria Cristina added another option for Guanajuato visitors who weren't happy with either the small inns in the center of town or Quinta Las Acacias up the street. This 13–room luxury boutique hotel was obviously built with the high end of the market in mind, as evidenced by the Bang & Olufsen phones in the rooms, the Kohler whirlpool tubs, and restaurant prices that would not be out of place in a U.S. city. For the most part the operation delivers on its goals, offering the most luxurious rooms in the region and a clear sense of aesthetics that binds together the small details and balances the whole.
The overall feel is a subdued, refined elegance that begins at the unassuming doorway with brass plaque and extends into multiple courtyards that allow the sunlight to illuminate iron balconies, wicker armchairs, and fountains. After checking in at the single sit–down deck, you'll be more than happy to tip the waiting bellman. The various structures on three and a half levels are connected by a series of stairways that don't seem so bad at first. But they'll creep up and put a burn in your thighs after a couple days of exploring the cobbled streets of Guanajuato. If your mobility is limited, ask for a room close to the one elevator, which only seems to be used upon request.
Villa Maria Cristina's restaurant is clearly one of the best in town, though it gets lonely when occupancy is low, perhaps in part because there is no direct entrance from the street. On the second floor and spread across two rooms, it is an elegant white space with chandeliers, a large fireplace, elaborate molding, corner columns, and crisp linens. Menu items revolve around steaks and seafood, with about half the dishes being jazzed–up versions of local dishes. Both the plates and the service come accompanied with plenty of flair and the cozy adjoining bar has the best high–end tequila selection in town.
At the bottom level of the hotel is an attractive spa with an indoor pool, whirlpool, sauna, steam room, shower facilities, and massage rooms. A basic gym has two cardio machines and weight benches with dumbbells. A lounging terrace on the second floor facing the mountains has an open air Jacuzzi big enough for four.
You can choose from a variety of room sizes and layouts, ranging from cozy standards with a double bed to the master suites with Jacuzzi tub. All are decorated in a reserved and relaxing style, with lots of whites and creams offset by custom dark wood desks and end tables. A series of wood shutters and carved doors with glass panels are used to regulate the natural light since most rooms face a courtyard rather than having a window to the exterior. (Request the Paulina suite to face the street and mountain.) Unfortunately this means you have to do lots of latching and unlatching depending on your state of dress since guests walking by can see in. Fortunately, robes (and slippers) are standard in all rooms. Also standard are flat panel satellite TVs with a wide range of English channels, a good depth of toiletries, generous closets with a selection of hangers, electronic safes big enough for a laptop, and some of the most comfortable mattresses in central Mexico.
Rooms without a whirlpool tub get a steam shower. With a push of a button and a short wait, your oversized marble shower turns into a very effective steam room. If you're a tub person though, you're out of luck in a standard — you'll have to go for one of the junior or master suites. These provide more space and furniture, plus a separate shower in addition to the whirlpool tub.
Free Wi–fi coverage extends throughout the hotel––a welcome break from the luxury norm. Room service until 10 pm supplements the pricey minibar. (Anyone up for $14 bottled water from VOSS, or a $15 airplane–sized bottle of tequila?)
While there is little to fault about the facilities, one glitch here is the surprisingly poor level of English proficiency among the otherwise professional staff. Basic, predictable requests go through fine, but many guests must resort to phrase book Spanish to make themselves understood —a situation that you don't expect to deal with at the most expensive hotel in town. Hopefully in the future management can spring for some extra night classes for employees so the personal service for foreigners will match all the other positive impressions.

Kunshan: Denmark shuttlers will be looking forward to stamp down their authority in the Badminton events at the 2016 Summer Olympics after their historic Thomas Cup victory on Sunday.
Wuhan: After winning two out of five gold medals offered at the Badminton Asia Championships (BAC) on Sunday, China has enough or in some categories, more than enough shuttlers to secure the maximum Olympic quota slots allocated for each country.
Beijing: China's retired women's doubles players Lao Yujing, who was a member of the 1986, 1988 Uber Cup Championships team, passed away at age 50 two days ago in Guangzhou China.
Jinjiang: Many great athletes have leapt from sport to screen to find movie stardom. In the official launch ceremony of a badminton related movie called "I'm the Hero" on Tuesday in Jinjiang of China, Lee Chong Wei together with his on-the-court nemesis and off-the-court friend, Lin Dan were looking oh so handsome and as sharp as ever.
Rio de Janeiro: China's five-time world champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist Lin Dan will become the biggest star to participate in the Brasil Open to be held from November 24 to November 29 in Rio de Janeiro.
Beijing: The head coach of Chinese National Badminton Team, Li Yongbo has attempted to take the pressure off his players ahead of the World Championships, saying the Chinese badminton team does not set any hard targets at the World Championships that will be held in Jakarta from August 10 - August 16. It would not surprise him if some of the young Chinese players who will play their first ever World Championships could end up as world champions.
Jinjiang: As they beef up their preparation for next week's Chinese Taipei Open at Jinjiang, Fujian province of China, the Chinese National Badminton Team continued its "Giving Back to the Community" spirit, by visiting an orphanage in Jinjiang on Tuesday.
Lingshui: The Chinese New Year is China's most celebrated holiday. As 2015 is the year of goat, decorations of shiny goats and fluffy sheep are commonly seen on every street, building and house in China, and in countries that have large ethic Chinese population such as Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and etc.
Beijing: After their Thomas Cup heartbreak in May, China's badminton coach Li Yongbo would like to carry the positives from the loss into their Asian Games matches.
New Delhi: "India still has a long way to go before it overtakes China in women badminton. The gap between China and other countries remains significant," said China's badminton Chief coach Li Yongbo during a media conference on Friday.
Li stressed that he is not too concern about India even though the home team has several good shuttlers such as Saina Nehwal and P.V. Sindhu. He also praised countries such as India, Japan and Thailand for cultivating home-grown badminton talent.
BUKIT JALIL: It's only January but it's no secret that China are already warming up for the Thomas Cup that will be held in New Delhi in May.
China have an abundance of talented singles shuttlers – Chen Long, Wang Zhengming and Du Pengyu to name a few.
Despite dominating the world's premier team event since 2004, China's men's doubles has always been perceived as a weak link.
But if anything, China, under the stewardship of renowned head coach Li Yongbo, have already put ahead plans to strengthen their choices in the doubles.
Four-time world champion Fu Haifeng has already started partnering the younger Hong Wei, with the pair reaching the final of the Korean Open last week, before losing to Denmark's Mathias Boe-Carsten Mogensen.
NEW ERA: Chen Long set to rule after latest master class
THE Korea Open signalled the changing of the guard at the world stage as it has become evident Lee Chong Wei is powerless to stop China's Chen Long from taking over as the leading men's singles player.
No player, not even China legend Lin Dan, has managed to beat Chong Wei in straight games four times in a row but Chen Long has done exactly that.
Chen Long, in prime physical condition at 25 and armed with sound tactics and skills, will be the player China will depend on to win honours in the main events this year.

In the second half of the nineteenth century, European cities faced a problem well known in postindependence India: the population escalated due to immigration from the rural areas causing rapid and considerable housing shortage. This forced large parts of the poorer classes into miserable living conditions. Lack of space, money and hygiene facilitated the epidemic spread of diseases such as tuberculosis and diarrhoea. The town authorities were called upon to stop speculation and to launch state financed housing projects. However, in reality the situation was very different depending on the place, political aims and financial possibilities arising out of the particular crisis. This article discusses the issue in two continental European cities of around 100,000 inhabitants. The Swiss town of Basel was a hub of trade in Central Europe, while Belgrade was the capital of the Southeastern European kingdom of Serbia.

I'm Susan and Maple & Magnolia is my happy place. It's where all of my creative passions come together and hang out!
Why Maple & Magnolia? Well, I'm a southern girl from Alabama (Magnolia) and when I started this blog in 2010 our family was living in Canada (Maple).
We are a family of vagabonds living in eight states and Ontario, Canada over the past twenty years. Although this blog started as a way for me to share projects with family and friends around the country, it has evolved into so much more. It is where I share my love of writing, photography, decorating, diy projects, furniture restorations, thrifting, antiquing and teaching with anybody who will listen!
My goal for this blog is simple. I want it to teach, inspire, encourage, empower and hopefully entertain readers. The intention is not "hey, look what I've done" but rather "hey, if I can do it SO CAN YOU and here's how!"
Thanks for stopping by, friend.

St. Elmo vs. Windsor, 6:15 p.m.
Vandalia grad Eric Hobbie has been waiting for this moment for months.
On Thursday, it will finally happen. After missing two months of games, Hobbie will once again be on the court for McKendree University.
"I am very happy to be back," said the Bearcat senior. "There were several players that had an opportunity to play because I was injured. That may actually help us in the long run. The leg is not 100 percent, but it is getting better all the time."
PATOKA – The Patoka High School boys basketball team struggled to combat Cisne's patient offense in the first half of a 48-35 loss on Tuesday.
The Warriors, at one point, trailed the Runnin' Lions 21-5, despite preparing for the offensive scheme on Monday.
"We ran their offense for 30 minutes yesterday," said coach Joe Eddy. "We knew they going to be deliberate."
He said he "hopes" the poor play was the result of a long layoff. The Warriors had not played since Dec. 18 at the Wayne City Holiday Tournament.
Flora's Paul Knapp passed the ball out of bounds as time expired in regulation, giving Wesclin an extra four minutes to compile a lead and win the Vandalia Holiday Tournament, 57-51, in overtime.
Alex Wilken made a 3-pointer 38 seconds into the extra period, and the second-seeded Warriors (10-2, 5-0 VHT) would not trail after that in an upset of the tournament's top seed.
Wilken had a game-high 25 points and averaged 15.4 points per game, but was left off the all-tournament team.
A 3-pointer by Pana's Mitchell Beyers at the regulation buzzer forced the third-place game of the Vandalia Holiday Tournament to overtime, and a gassed Vandalia squad was no match for the Panthers in the extra period, eventually swallowing a tough, 77-65 loss.
"I don't have an air pump to pump them back up (after that shot)," said coach Kevin Jackson. "They were deflated. I was deflated."
The Panthers (9-3, 4-1 VHT) scored on their first four possessions of overtime, quickly dashing any hopes of a Vandalia win.
On the court, Andrew Snow might be the most vocal basketball player in the area.
