College Hockey:Fighting Irish Escape Kalamazoo with a Spilt Series
Notre Dame Adds Two Third Period Insurance Goals to Seal Victory Over Western Michigan
KALAMAZOO, Mich. — Behind senior net minder David Brown's shutout Saturday night, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish will head home to South Bend with a 3-0 victory over the Western Michigan Broncos.
"We were all on the same page here tonight," Brown said. "We had good communication; everyone was working in sync with each other and we were able to pull it together for the win."
After Friday night's 3-2 loss in the always exciting Lawson Ice Arena, the Fighting Irish (20-5-1 Overall and 14-3-1 CCHA) came out in the first period with a better sense of necessity of knowing what they needed to do to get the win.
"I thought we played with a better sense of urgency tonight," said Jeff Jackson, Notre Dame Head Coach. "I think we were prepared to play last night, but I don't think we were ready for the way Western came out at us like they did. We watched film and prepared our guys, but watching film and preparing for an opponent isn't like playing them and it's always different when you are in this type of environment."
The first period was more of the same from Friday night's thriller, with great goaltending by both Brown and WMU junior goalie Daniel Bellissimo, along with races for loose pucks and many scoring chances created on both sides of the ice.
One of those scoring chances came with less than a minute to play when sophomore winger Jeff LoVecchio sliced his way from center ice through the Irish defense, with his shot deflecting off the Irish net minder. The rebound, which was secured by Bronco freshman Mark Letestu, looked to be the first goal of the game by either side, but seconds before Letestu banged home the goal, LoVecchio was whistled for an interference call after he attempted his shot.
Heading into the middle period deadlocked at zero; the Broncos were able to eventually kill the Irish power play on the LoVecchio penalty for the first 1:26 of the period as both teams were 0-2 on the power play in the opening set.
Notre Dame was finally able to light the red lamp for the first goal of the game, on a Tom Sawatske chip in goal in the front of the Bronco goalie. Fighting Irish captain T.J. Jindra controlled the puck deep inside the WMU zone on the left side, and found the charging defenseman up the middle, who was able to knock home the eventual game winning goal.
With the game progressing each team was becoming tired and the flow of the game became non-existent as a string of five penalties were called on both teams in a span of two minutes. Those penalties, however only resulted in one power play opportunity combined.
"Both teams were a little slow as the game started to progress in the second period," Jackson said. "The game got a little slow and methodical, but the kids kept battling hard throughout."
Ending the middle period with a one goal deficit, WMU was tied with the Fighting Irish in the shots on goal category, an accomplishment in that as the Broncos were out shot 31-19 in their win Friday night.
"We battled real hard, we came after them aggressively both nights and I am extremely proud of our effort we gave as a team battling with a very good Notre Dame team," said Jim Culhane, WMU Head Coach. "I thought both teams played tremendously all weekend, and we are just disappointed we can only take the one win out of it."
Leading 1-0 in the final period of play, the Fighting Irish were able to add an insurance goal at the 12:42 mark by defenseman Brett Blatchford, who lined up and fired a bullet inside the blue line past the glove of Bellissimo, from a face off won by Justin White from the left circle out of a television timeout.
Less than two minutes later, Notre Dame was able to increase their two goal advantage to three on a Erik Contra two-on-one breakaway along the left side of the ice firing a shot at Bellissimo, who initially came up with the glove save but saw the puck slip out, falling between the pipes. Freshman Ryan Thang distributed the extra pass to his charging teammate for the assist.
"To me, that was as close to a playoff game that you are going to get at this point in the year," Jackson said. "It was intense from the bench perspective, they were doing everything to block shots and both goalies played hard and well."
Coming up with 25 saves tonight, Brown earned first star of the game as he earned his third shutout of the year, tying him for the CCHA lead this season.
"The defense played awesome here tonight," Brown said. "The guys are great back there, we've a great core and I can't do it without them battling for me every night. They are in the trenches, clearing the pucks and getting guys out of the way letting me see the puck."
Though, the Broncos were unable to secure their first sweep of the season this weekend, the eighth year head coach Culhane said he is most pleased about their schedule so far this season, being able to get points every weekend but one so far this year in conference play.
As always an electric, energy filled place to play Lawson Ice Arena is, the Broncos were able to put up a great effort wise game against another top ranked opponent under the first sellout crowd of the year of 3,944 screaming college hockey fans.
"The secret to our success here in Kalamazoo against top ranked teams, is the environment," Culhane said. "We have incredible support from our students and community. When you have electricity and energy in the building, its contagious."
Brown agreed with how tough it is to play in a great environment, like this.
"The low ceilings of the building let all the noise ricochet off right onto the ice," he said. "They have a great student section, and they definitely put pressure on us throughout the entirety of the game."
With the loss here tonight, the Broncos will have a short turn around before their next game with the Ferris State Bulldogs, Tuesday night in Kalamazoo.
"The big thing I am most worried about is the short turn around," Culhane said. "What we have talked about in the locker room is how pleased we are of our effort, but disappointed in the outcome. It will be important to take care of our bodies, and come out with the same intensity against Ferris St."
The Fighting Irish will next play host to the Miami RedHawks who sit in second place in the CCHA, on Jan. 26 and 27.
"They are what they are for a reason," Jackson said about his team's upcoming opponent.
"They are probably as deep and balanced as any team in the country. It will be a tough series, I think it will be fun for us and may be one of the biggest series for Notre Dame all time."

Bill Wohlsifer and Adrian Wyllie are two Libertarians seeking statewide office, and both are being excluded from mainstream media coverage and political polls in their respective races. Today, Wohlsifer sent out a press release stating his concern about not being included in media coverage about the political race he is in (see below). Both candidates are legitimate and serious about seeking public office. Wohlsifer is running for Florida Attorney General against Pam Bondi and whoever wins the Democratic Primary. Wyllie is running for Governor against 27 other candidates including the much talked about Rick Scott and Charlie Crist. If either Wohlsifer or Wyllie are mentioned in the general media, it is often just a footnote with a comment like "Libertarian candidate Adrian Wyllie is also running."
Most coverage of the Florida Governor's race mentions only Rick Scott and Charlie Crist. Occasionally a piece will show up with Nan Rich running against Crist or whether or not Bill Nelson will enter the race. There are six Democrats vying to be Florida's next governor, why not talk about the others? Did Floridians know they had 12 presidential candidates to choose from when they went to the polls on November 6, 2012? Not including the write-in candidates whose names do not show on the ballot, there were 12 candidates qualified to vote and printed on the Florida ballot, yet the general press failed to inform the public as to the existence to all but two. They also have failed in their journalistic integrity by not being objective, impartial or fair in their coverage by purposefully excluding qualified candidates from the public and spoon-feeding the voting public only two candidates.
The most common argument I have heard from reporters and those in the general media is that the other candidates are not interesting to the public and if they were, they would cover them. However this is nothing more than a blatant CYA response as libertarians are perhaps the most interesting candidates of all. 2012 Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson is one example being not only qualified as a two-term governor of a Democratic leaning state, however also being an accomplished mountain climber, climbing Mount Everest, Ironman finisher, is a self-made multi-millionaire building a construction business employing over 1,000 and he is most in line with general America on the bulk of public policy. Yet, Johnson was rarely mentioned in the general media.
June 20, 2014 is the last day to qualify for most Florida public offices up for election and we will see how many of the 27 candidates for governor make it through the qualification process. After that time, Libertarians are saying the gloves are off, and are working on a solution to be treated fairly and equally in the Florida voter's eye through the general media.
Below is the statement by Bill Wohlsifer released today:
IN AS MUCH AS I UNDERSTAND THAT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS IS ONLY CONCERNED WITH THE ALL NEWS THEY SEE FIT TO PRINT, and in as much as I respect a private enterprise's right to invite to their annual pre-legislative session Press Planning Day the mainstream media and the Republican and Democratic candidates, exclusively, I have only one problem with this event. Sure, it is offensive to me to be told that I am not invited and not welcomed. Frankly, I am not accustomed to such blatant rejection, but do not take it personally. After all, it was my decision to run for public office and my decision not to run as a Republican or a Democrat. The fact that I am a fully vetted and approved candidate by the Libertarian Party of Florida, a 17-year member in good standing of the Florida Bar, and that I am conducting 1 of 4 active campaigns for Florida Attorney General (the other 3 candidates are invited) does not bother me. No, not at all, because I respect free market capitalism and the right for a private enterprise to set its own agenda. I really do.
Indeed, the courts agree. Even sitting U.S. Congressmen and former Governors can lawfully be excluded from debates (Dennis Kucinich, Ron Paul, Gary Johnson). Although they appear to be public forums, these are private events. As stated, I respect the rights of private enterprise and have no intention of imposing myself where I am not welcomed. I politely asked and was politely told that no third party candidates are invited to meet the press, including you, Mr. Wohlsifer. Again, I respect that decision and appreciate the AP's courteous conversation and explanation. What bothers me is that their event is taking place at my Capitol Building. Your Capitol Building. The taxpayers' Capitol Building and with the talented services of our taxpayer-funded Capitol Building personnel, and heat, and electricity.
Why does the AP not rent a conference room at one of the many fine downtown hotels? This could be a revenue generating event for local business proprietors such as the Doubletree or the W or Hotel Duval or the Sheraton that would also generate revenue for their staff, parking attendants and food and beverage suppliers. I'm just saying that the AP, the heavily funded Republican and Democratic candidates, and the mainstream press should not get to have it both ways: They are holding a private event on public property with no consequence for their selective exclusion of third party hard working candidates. Adrian Wyllie, Libertarian candidate for governor, and I are to pay the same qualifying fee to the Secretary of State as our major-party opposition candidates pay and are held to similar election and campaign obligations, yet we are both excluded from this segregated event; not for anything we did, say, or stand for, but because, according to AP criteria, we "have not raised enough money to demonstrate candidate viability" in the sole opinion of the Associated Press. The exclusion is highly prejudicial.
So, when you read the coverage of Florida's gubernatorial and attorney candidates, and sitting House and Senate leaders that will be published during and after the upcoming legislative session please remember that the coverage is the result of a planning strategy set to occur on January 29, 2014, at your Capitol Building. The purposeful exclusion of fair and balanced news coverage that you will encounter in the Spring of 2014 will not be occur then, it is occurring tomorrow.
Bill Wohlsifer (LPF) candidate for Florida Attorney General 2014. Please Share. The truth needs to be told."

Is the pomegranate the perfect fruit?
While most Jews associate apples and bread dipped in honey with the New Year, pomegranates are considered one of the most spiritual fruits of the holiday. In addition to its many culinary delights, the pomegranate is reported to have many health benefits. Called pomum granatum by the Romans, or seeded apple, the pomegranate is one of the oldest and most beloved fruits, and some believe it was the "apple" in the Garden of Eden. Many considered it a symbol of fertility, but during Rosh Hashanah we eat pomegranates as a reminder to perform acts of good deeds. Jewish tradition says that it contains 613 seeds, the same number of laws that Jews are commanded to obey.
In Muslim tradition, Mohammed said, "Eat the pomegranate, for it purges the system of envy and hatred."
The pomegranate has always decorated our holiday table, and last year I made a centerpiece using this colorful, regal fruit. But this year it will become part of our Rosh Hashanah dinner and to that end, I've created several new recipes using the seeds and juice to serve during the Jewish New Year celebration.
Pomegranates originated in Persia and in the Himalayas in northern India and were cultivated throughout the Mediterranean region as well as in China. The first pomegranate trees in California were planted by the Spanish in 1769, and the Southland's cool winters and hot summers are the perfect conditions for the fleshy red fruit. Your neighbors might even have a tree in their backyard.
When I see pyramids of pomegranates displayed in a market it's difficult to deny them space in my shopping cart. Buy them at your local farmers market when they are in season since they keep for several weeks in a refrigerator.
In my home it's customary to save several pomegranates for our grandchildren to help prepare when they arrive for dinner. Their task is to peel away the outer skin, find the seeds and count them before they are served with the meal.
To peel the pomegranate, gently score the leather-like skin into quarters, and then place the entire pomegranate in a large bowl filled with water. Keeping your hands under the water, gently pull off the skin and remove the seeds, which will fall to the bottom. Carefully drain the water, discard the outer skin and fibers, and dry the seeds.
We begin our Rosh Hashanah dinner with an antipasti of salads. Start with Hummus With Pomegranate Seeds, a delicious, creamy mixture of pureed chickpeas and sesame seed paste flavored with garlic, lemon juice and olive oil, served with challah, pita bread, fresh vegetables or sliced jicama. Include a Cabbage-Carrot Slaw With Pomegranate Seeds served on a bed of thinly sliced romaine lettuce and topped with a generous amount of pomegranate seeds. Both salads are tasty and colorful and take minutes to prepare with the help of a food processor.
The main course is Roasted Lamb Shanks With Pomegranate Sauce, which tastes even better the next day and can be prepared in advance. Simply reheat and serve with noodles and your favorite vegetables.
For a refreshing dessert, prepare homemade non-dairy Pomegranate and Lime Sorbet and serve it with Pomegranate Jelly-Filled Cookies that are rolled in nuts, baked and filled with a dollop of pomegranate jelly.

Are They or Aren't They? Liona Rumours Heat Up
Just as Harry supposedly meets Taylor Swift's parents and vice versa, the biggest romance rumours to arise today are between Liam Payne and Leona Lewis, both absolute superstars and X Factor alums!
Liona, as we think they should be called, have been skirting around questions in interviews for weeks, assuring everyone that they are just good friends and not a couple. Leona has been in particular quite vocal about the bond they both share and the common interests they both have, saying:
"You'd be surprised how much we have in common. He's great. We see each other when we can. It's very flattering to get compliments like that. It's cute… I'm not saying (if we're together) . I'm having fun and enjoying myself."
Leona carried on to say:
"If you have a bond with someone it doesn't come into it. I'd date someone younger or older, ages doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really – it's all about maturity."
Leona only recently split from her dancer boyfriend, Dennis Jauch – which is such a coincidence as Liam dumped his dancer girlfriend Danielle at the same -who Directioners were quite fond of back in the day.
Today reports have emerged that the pair are going on holiday together in the new year, and daddy direction is keen to bulk himself up and look as ripped as possible for the presumably romantic getaway. He is a regular at his local Virgin Active gym, but has upped his routine to tone his body and impress his potential girlfy, Leona.
"He's been down a lot more lately and has started asking some of the lads for tips and pointers.He said he'll be taking his new girlfriend away when he gets the chance and wants to be fit."
The source also said:
"He's a naturally slim lad but if he keeps following the tips he's been given, he'll have that six pack in no time."
We like this extra gym time. #takeyourshirtoff.

I have run into a couple of broken down, treadle sewing machines. My mom still has the one that belonged to my great-grandmother but it's in pretty good shape so we won't be touching that! Mom put her foot down.
Anyway, I was looking at the sewing drawers thinking they would make great containers, decor or repurposed items. I also see them for sale all by themselves at very reasonable prices. So, here are some of the ideas I have use and as well as new ones I will use in the future that I found on Pinterest.
I used this drawer as a container on a Halloween food table. The theme was "Vintage Halloween" so the vintage sewing drawer was perfect! I lined the drawer with a lime green, satin napkin to ensure the party mix didn't touch it.
At Funky Junk Interiors, Donna takes an old sewing machine drawer, mason jars and an vintage washboard that's missing glass to create this gorgeous window display. I just love it!
Katie's Rose Cottage made this beautiful display from an old sewing machine drawer. This drawer in white chalk paint has a different look than the natural stained wood. It's simple, shabby and very chic!
Debra Cole on Pinterest, showed off a sewing machine drawer used as a hanging shelf in a guest bath. Cute idea! I like lining the inside with paper for a nice contrast.
My mind is a whir with ideas! They could hold office supplies, holiday decor or arrangements, centerpieces for a wedding, stacked on a book case with old books in a neat vignette…
Have you got some ideas for using vintage sewing machine drawers as decor?

A Chicago aromatic garden contains flowers, herbs, shrubs and trees that produce fragrances pleasing to the gardener. An aromatic garden can be individualized to please the gardener. Careful planning can produce this specialty garden. http://www.bhg.com
An aromatic garden can be overwhelming with conflicting scents. Avoid this problem by choosing plants that bloom in different seasons. Another solution is to plant only one aromatic plant in a particular planting bed. Choosing plants with only your favorite scents is also a solution. In a large garden, this problem can be solved more easily, and you can grow plants with all of your favorite scents—floral, fruit, wood and spice. http://www.hortmag.com
A seasonal aromatic garden will delight you throughout the growing season. In early spring, grow hyacinth, sweet pea and flowering crabapple. Late spring plant choices are iris, lilac, sweet pea, lavender, peony, lily of the valley and favorite scented herbs like basils, sage, oregano, rosemary. In summer, grow old fashioned roses, dianthus, phlox, sweet alyssum, scented geraniums and oriental lily. Place planters of peppermint, spearmint and wintergreen near your doors in summer. In autumn, plant sweet autumn clematis, carnation, freesia and spring flowers like lavender and sweet pea.
Planting herbs among non-aromatic flowers will add pleasing fragrance to the flower bed. Fragrant lemon basil, lemon grass, sage, oregano, rosemary, thyme, marjoram have lemony and/or spicy scents that are pleasing. Keep in mind the height of the plants when you design the bed. Rosemary, sage, mints, oregano and marjoram grow to four feet. Basils and thyme grow to two feet.
If creating your own aromatherapy interests you, your aromatic garden will provide the needed plants for your experiments. There are a variety of methods used to extract the essentials oils used to make many products, and instruction is available in books and online.

If you're fitting new skirting, it's always easier to paint or stain it before fixing it to the wall. However, if you're repainting skirting that's already in place you don't have that luxury. See our tips to make this tricky job a bit easier.
What Will I Need To Paint My Skirting?
Before you can paint your skirting you'll need to sand it, so some medium to fine grade sandpaper will be required. You'll need a paintbrush to paint with of course – it's worth buying a decent brush, nice and soft and no bigger than 2". Now we come to the paint – what type of paint to use? It depends on the finish you want really. Gloss is traditional, but you could go for satinwood for a more subtle finish.
If the skirting is currently stained or varnished, you'll need to go over it with a sealer/primer first to stop any stain coming though, then an undercoat to prepare for the topcoat. If the skirting is currently painted you should be able to just paint over it. If it's painted in a dark colour and you are going over it with a light colour, it might be worth painting with undercoat first to reduce the amount of gloss coats you'll need.
You will also need newspaper or dust sheets to protect the floor, old clothes or overalls to protect yourself, and some card (quite thin, like a cereal packet) will also be useful. Masking tape is also handy for protecting your carpet. Some DIY shops sell plastic carpet protectors that can take the place of your card – the advantage of these is that you can clean it as you go, rather than replacing the card with a new piece.
Preparation For Painting Skirting Boards
Firstly, you need to prepare your skirting for painting. Start by moving furniture well out of the way, so that you have plenty of space to get in and paint the skirting.
Next, you need to sand the skirting to roughen old paint or stain so that the new paint will adhere to it. This can be a fiddly job, especially if your skirting is quite decorative, but it's essential that you do it.
Once you've sanded all the skirting, vacuum the room to remove the dust, using a thin nozzle to get in close around the skirting and make sure that area is clean. Clean the skirting to remove any remaining fine dust or grease, using a sugar soap solution. Allow the skirting to dry before moving on to the next step.
Lay some paper or sheets on the floor to protect against spills. A strip of masking tape along the edge of the carpet, as close to the skirting as possible, will further protect your carpet. Take your piece of card or plastic carpet protector, and tuck it under the skirting so that the carpet is completely covered. Now you're ready to start painting.
Painting The Skirting
Start by cutting in along the top of the skirting. Go slowly and use a small amount of paint at a time – wipe excess paint off the brush along the edge of the tin. Brush from right to left (reverse if you are left-handed), so that you're not leaning across awkwardly. When you've cut in a section along the top of the skirting, move to the bottom and do the same. Then you can fill in the middle with more confidence.
Move your piece of card or plastic protector along as you go, stopping to clean it or renew it whenever it becomes too covered in paint.
Keep checking for drips as you go along, and use a brush or cloth to wipe them whenever you see them. Move along the skirting, taking your time and always being careful.
For a professional finish and greater protection, you'll need to paint at least two coats. Allow the paint to dry (check the tin for drying times), then use a fine grade sandpaper to go over the skirting before you start on the second coat. Pay special attention to any drips or bumps, being sure to sand them right down - otherwise they will get worse with the second coat. Wipe over the skirting with a damp cloth after sanding to remove the fine dust which will stop the next coat adhering.
Make sure the skirting is dry before you start your next coat. Repeat the process above, taking your time cutting in and always checking for drips.
Once you have finished painting and the skirting is dry, you can take up the masking tape and tidy up.
Some people like to paint a couple of layers of polyurethane varnish over skirting to give it extra protection from bumps, scrapes and scratches. This might be worth considering if you have boisterous children in the house. If you do choose to do this, follow the directions above as for painting, being sure to sand in between coats.

I love me some ooey-gooey, fresh-out-of-the-oven monkey bread. It's been a staple in my house since I was a little girl. In fact, my sisters and I would literally fight over the last tender morsels and we were not above inflicting physical harm in the name of cinnamon sugar goodness.
I was a little skeptical about doing this in the slow cooker, but since we often have monkey bread on holiday mornings, I liked the idea of freeing up some oven space for other stuff.
That said, the oven-baked monkey bread is still my favorite. But the slow-cooked version is a pretty good second. You just have to watch it very carefully the first time or you might get this:
Yep, I'm still scraping that black stuff out of my crock.
On my second attempt, I had my girlfriend make it too and we both made sure to pay attention to cooking time. It cooked much faster in my crock than in hers — mine was done in 90 minutes, hers in 2 1/2 hours. So you really do have to watch the time and tailor it to your individual crock.
Here's a quick look at some of the other yummy recipes from Crock-Pot Month:
Nordstrom Tomato Basil Soup (copycat recipe)
Greek Chicken Pitas
Chicken Posole
Honey Ginger Chicken Bowls
Homemade Bread in the Crock Pot
Crock-Pot Monkey Bread
Make sure to watch this carefully as it can go from gooey to burned fairly quickly.
1 tube refrigerated biscuits, jumbo size (8 biscuits) or 2 tubes of regular-sized biscuits
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 large ziploc bag
non-stick cooking spray
Browned Butter icing:
1 stick butter
1-2 cups powdered sugar
1-2 teaspoons vanilla
Use a kitchen scissors to cut each biscuit into fourths and set aside.
In a large plastic baggie, combine sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Close bag securely and mix ingredients together.
Dip each cut biscuit into melted butter and place in the baggie. (I did this a few at a time.) Close baggie and shake until biscuits are covered with sugar.
Spray slow cooker very generously with cooking spray and place biscuits on the bottom, touching each other.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours, then switch to warm. You will want to keep these warm or serve immediately. As they cool, they will harden.
To make the icing, melt butter in saucepan. Continue cooking just until browned and aromatic, stirring occastionally. Add in powdered sugar slowly, stirring continuously until smooth and thick enough to drizzle for icing. Add vanilla and stir to mix through. Drizzle over monkey bread.

If X is a topological space, and A consists of all of X's open sets, can we define a natural topology on A (using the topology of X)?
Of course there are many answers to your question. The interesting thing to ask is if there is a "best" or "right" answer. In many respects the "correct" topology for the lattice of open sets is the Scott topology. In case $X$ is locally compact, the Scott topology coincides with the compact-open topology of the continuous function space $C(X,\Sigma)$, where $\Sigma$ is the Sierpinski space (where we identify open sets with their characteristic functions into $\Sigma$).
There are several reasons why the Scott topology is the "right" one. One of them is that the following are equivalent for a space $X$:
I recommend the following paper by Martin Escardó and Reinhold Heckmann in which they explain many things related to topology of the lattice of open sets (and function spaces in general):
If $X$ is compact Hausdorff then the Vietoris topology (Wikipedia is lacking here, consult your standard topology textbook) on the compact (i.e. closed) subsets of $X$ implicitly defines a compact Hausdorff topology on the open subsets of $X$ via complements.
The topology is a preorder/post/lattice (amongst other things), and there are various topologies one can put on lattices:
the Scott topology
the Lawson topology
In general domain theory brings up lots of things along this line
If $X$ is a metric space, you can use Hausdorff distance to get a metric on the closed sets.

This was my absolute DREAM dress and I am so madly in love with it!! I know how difficult it was for me to buy this dress (it's very $$) and it's taking A LOT for me to sell it but I think every bride should get to wear her dream dress!! So here it IS!! It's absolutely gorgeous and in excellent condition. It is ivory with a latte liner. I am about 34-28-36 but there were no alterations done to the dress itself. I had the liner taken in to fit my body but they can just be removed, we didn't cut the material. If you haven't already tried this dress on, I recommend going to a bridal store and trying first. The material is HEAVY so you really don't need to do any alterations because it will fit your body perfectly. Honestly, I could and would have worn it out of the store, I felt beautiful the second I put it on!!
There are a few VERY minor tears but it wouldn't take too much to fix for anyone with some seamstress skills. Honestly, you can't even tell when the dress is on, but I am a perfectionist so I meticulously inspected the dress and have taken photos of every single tear that I found. I can send you pictures via email of everything since we are limited on how many we can here. Please see the pictures for how stunning this dress is and feel free to reach out with ANY questions.
ALSO, matching veil too if you're interested
- Label Size: 6
- Street Size: 6

There were no alterations done to the lace, only to the liner to fit my body but there was no material cut so they can just be taken out and the dress will be a TRUE size 6. Also, I added a bustle, very easy French Bustle.

Mulberry Bags
PRODUCT: Mulberry Bags
Trend Factor: 7 / 10
The days of the fanny pack are long gone, and we men have thankfully adopted a sleeker, more sophisticated way of lugging around our belongings. Today's urban male takes pride in his "man bag" — whether it be a briefcase, holdall or messenger bag — and designers like the UK's Mulberry go the extra mile to ensure that men can proudly — and stylishly — carry their "murses" around.
Practicality Factor: 9 / 10
There is nothing impractical about a contemporary leather bag; you can neatly store your important belongings in it and, if you choose to go with a Mulberry tote, you'll also be looking really good.
Longevity Factor: 8 / 10
Mulberry is known for marrying unique design and fine-quality leather — the end result being a bag that's not only durable, but will stylishly carry you through every fashionable season. In other words: Make the investment. Your Mulberry bag will become your most over-utilized accessory.
Wow Factor: 8 / 10
Each Mulberry bag has its own distinctive, carefully crafted look that rates high on the "wow" scale. A great leather tote is what I like to call "Fashion with a Function." It'll compliment the rest of your uptown getup and help give off that sophisticated vibe you're going for.
Where to get it:
Browse through the rest of the Mulberry leather bag collection and shop online at their official website.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how these three formats compare? What format do y'all store your music in (and why?). Also what sort of bit rates are you using?
I just acquired an iPod. Right now my music is all in WMA. So obviously that's a problem. I'm trying to decide if I should rerip everything to AAC or MP3. Or alternatively since I'm planning to use the iPod mostly for use at the gym or out running, maybe leave the bulk of my PC collection in WMA and then rip some albums specifically to AAC or MP3 for the iPod.
Apologies if this has been already covered recently. I tried to do a search on the Qt3 archive and the search engine tells me that the words AAC, MP3, and WMA are all too short to do a search on.

"My friends and I absolutely loved this. When I read other reviews about too much mustard, I was careful to use only one tablespoon at first, but when I tasted it I definitely wanted the extra tablespoon. Delicious. I kind of missed the hard boiled eggs that are in a lot of potato salads, and will probably put those in next time. For me, the dressing amount was just right, and super creamy and delicious."

College Hockey:Freak Goal Lifts No. 6 SCSU to Sweep, 6-5
Last Minute Goal Ends High-Scoring Affair
ST. CLOUD, Minn. — The shot wasn't anything overly spectacular.
Ryan Lasch was skating up and around to the point and just heaving one in. Alex Stalock made a short, rigid bunny-hop to try and knock down the shot. Without warning, the gently rising puck was on the deck, accelerating, and sliding underneath Stalock for the game winning goal.
Matt Hartman made the redirection his second of the night with 39 seconds left in regulation for the last goal in a back-and-forth game as No. 6 St. Cloud State completed the sweep of Minnesota-Duluth, 6-5.
"Lasch has unbelievable hands," said Hartman. "He made it happen. I just got my stick on it to keep it low. It was a great kind of goal for our team to score."
Five minutes into the game, St. Cloud appeared ready to pick up where they'd left off on Friday with a high-power offensive attack. Senior Justin Fletcher and junior Andrew Gordon gained the zone with a slightly advantageous two-on-two. As Gordon split behind the defenders, Fletcher found him with a perfect pass, and Gordon lifted the puck in the slot top shelf.
A minute and a half later, SCSU senior Nate Raduns was shown the gate for checking from behind, which carried with it a five-minute major. Minnesota-Duluth went right to work.
Showing an effective power play possession that had been missing on Friday, the Bulldogs cycled well until sophomore Mason Raymond could throw the puck toward the crease, where he found classmate MacGregor Sharp waiting. Sharp tapped the puck past St. Cloud freshman Jase Weslosky with a redirection to tie the game.
UMD continued to push on the extended advantage, but their power play ended when sophomore Matt Greer took a holding the stick penalty behind the play. Licking their lips for an opportunity at four-on-four hockey, St. Cloud took the initiative immediately.
Nearly mirroring the first Husky goal, Justin Fletcher found himself on a two-on-one chance, this time with freshman Andreas Nodl. Fletcher passed the puck across the top of the slot to Nodl, who was waiting at UMD goalie Alex Stalock's right to one-time the puck to the roof of the net.
A penalty to St. Cloud sophomore John Swanson 14 minutes into the first gave UMD just enough window to tie the score a second time. With the draw in their attacking zone, Duluth took the puck and used all of 13 seconds to find the net. This time, it was senior Bryan McGregor taking the pass from Raymond, beating Weslosky on the short side with a well timed blast.
Early in the second, it was the same story, but in reverse. Duluth senior Jeff McFarland was sent off for tripping, and the SCSU power play went right to work. Freshman Ryan Lasch took control of the puck in the neutral zone and simply snaked his way around the only defender in front of him on his way to Stalock's right, where he took a shot which found the net short side.
The Huskies did not let up. Continuing to drive forward and looking to start putting nails in the coffin, St. Cloud won the ensuing faceoff and attacked. Freshman Ryan Peckskamp created an opportunity using his feet, working the puck down the left boards before cutting directly toward the net along the goal line.
Peckskamp switched to his backhand as he approached the net, returned to the forehand, and then took his shot, which glanced off of Stalock. Charging in to pick up the puck was junior Matt Hartman, who tapped the puck home for SCSU's second goal in a span of 25 seconds.
"I knew the puck was somewhere there," said Hartman. "Pecksy created that one. I told him he could have the credit, but he said he wants his first goal to be legit."
It ended up being Peckskamp's first career point instead when he was credited with the primary assist. Freshman Jon Ammerman was given the secondary assist, which was also his first career point.
With momentum shifting quickly, UMD head coach Scott Sandelin called timeout after Hartman's goal in order to rally the troops and slow down the pace.
It paid dividends almost immediately. Winning the draw and gaining possession in the St. Cloud zone, the Bulldogs sent a flurry of activity in front of Weslosky, firing away and turning the area around the net into a firing range.
Weslosky darted across the crease from post to post, but found himself on the wrong post as sophomore Michael Gergen picked up a loose puck in the slot and deposited it in the back of the net to firmly put the lid on St. Cloud State's outburst.
The comeback was completed at the halfway point of the second period. Shortly after Nodl took the gate for a slash behind the play, it was Mason Raymond setting up his fourth goal of the night, this time finding Matt Niskanen. Niskanen's shot reverberated off the right post and snuck past Weslosky, who was trying to close off the angle, knotting the game at four each.
Once more, St. Cloud State would burst out of the intermission with determination, and once again they found the net because of it. Mirroring the second period's early events, the Huskies scored a power play goal to take a one-goal lead. Fletcher, who had already set up three SCSU goals, collected a rebound in the slot and put it home.
Pressed to answer, UMD responded in kind to tie the game for a fourth time. Bryan McGregor notched his second goal of the evening when he one-timed a shot past Weslosky on the right side, again with Nodl sitting in the penalty box on a slashing call. It was Duluth's fourth power play goal in only six opportunities.
"Our power play gave us an opportunity to win tonight," said Sandelin.
"Their power play was excellent," said SCSU head coach Bob Motzko. "I have to give more credit to their power play than to say that our penalty kill was bad. Their power play units were out there making plays every time they hit the ice."
A tussle behind the play with about three minutes to go sent SCSU senior Dan Kronick and UMD freshman Chase Ryan to the penalty box, leading to two minutes of four-on-four. Minnesota-Duluth dominated early on with the open ice, but soon the puck found its way into the St. Cloud attacking zone, ending up on the stick of Ryan Lasch. Hartman's redirection was not straightforward there was concern that Hartman's stick may have been high but the goal stood, and UMD was unable to respond with only 39 seconds to play.
Prior to this start, Jase Weslosky had allowed only 4 goals in his first four collegiate appearances. He allowed five on Saturday, but still managed to come away with his fifth win in as many starts. It was the first time this season that St. Cloud State had won after giving up three or more goals in a game.
"We got ourselves in trouble by taking some bad penalties," said SCSU head coach Bob Motzko. "That ended up dictating the flow of the game. Duluth played with a purpose and a mission all game, and they deserve a lot of credit for that."
Alex Stalock made 22 saves in defeat. Minnesota-Duluth has lost three consecutive games, and their last five on the road.
"It was one of those run-and-gun shootouts," said Sandelin. "Both teams pretty much just let the goalies fend for themselves. We battled back, but it's unfortunate the game ended like that. The way things were going, that kind of game should have at least gone into overtime. It's a shame the game ended on a call like that."
"I don't know why we should have to beg guys to play. They should be playing with that kind of intensity all the time."
St. Cloud State travels to No. 5 Denver for a pivotal WCHA series next weekend, while Minnesota-Duluth returns home to face Northern Michigan in a non-conference matchup Wednesday night.
"I like games like this," said Lasch. "It gets you going. You don't know what's going to happen next."

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Amy, Curtis
Amy, Curtis, tenor sax, soprano sax (b. Houston, Texas, October 11, 1929, d. June 5, 2002, Los Angeles). A soulful player in the "Texas tenor" tradition, Curtis Amy was a fixture on the early 1960s LA jazz scene before turning his attention to pop music. While he recorded two sides in Houston with his own group in 1948, and recorded a 1955 session with Dizzy Gillespie, Amy's true breakthrough came in a series of 6 albums for Pacific Jazz (all collected on a Mosaic Select set bearing Amy's name). The albums display Amy's range from funky tenor with organ on Meetin' Here to the burning hard bop of Katanga (the latter co-led with the brilliant, but forgotten trumpeter Dupree Bolton). Amy was also a star soloist for the Onzy Mathews big band, appearing with that group on albums under Lou Rawls' and Mathews' name. Amy played in the Gerald Wilson orchestra for a short period and went to New York to record a single album for Verve, Mustang, which featured vocals by his wife, Merry Clayton (billed as Eva Harris) . After a stint with Ray Charles, Amy moved into the LA studios, where he performed on recordings with The Doors, Carole King, Marvin Gaye and Smokey Robinson. Amy returned to jazz with the 1994 album Peace For Love, recorded in Hollywood, but released on the Spanish Fresh Sounds label. It was to be his last album. Amy died of pancreatic cancer in 2002.

SD: Here's
the washer. Inside they do all the washing and separating of the grit,
sand. The railroad goes over there. From there, it used to go up the
hopper. (Machine sounds).
ES: What's
that long trestle?
SD: It's another conveyor belt. They dig
from the other side and this side. There's two places they dig. Now
they only dig from one side. Now you're gonna see the conveyor belt.
ES: Are those
truck tracks?
SD: No, that's
the payloader. The payloader piles the sand up. You can see the bulldozer
coming down the mountain.
ES: What was this house?
SD: This was a workshop. This was the
tie shop. Years ago, they used to have the railroad. It used to come
around in here and swing around.
ES: A roundhouse.
ES: What was this?
page 2
SD: This was the crusher. Used to crush
stones. See the conveyor belt? Then it goes underground and comes up
ES: Who thought of this system?
SD: Colonial did this one, all the conveyor
belt installations.
ES: Is that a pond?
SD: Only a small one. The big pond is
in the back.
ES: Is that an old box car?
SD: No. This is part of the conveyor belt
that brings up to thehopper. It's a loader. They used to have a tunnel
underneath where it goes to the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is
not all exposed. It's a mile-and-a-half long. The pond, it's like spring
water, then it comes to the washer. Because, it used to come higher,
then they couldn't dig no
more. See, I used to come in the back occasionally because we had trucks.
This was the cemetery. Where they threw trucks away. They used to call
it the truck cemetery because there were about 80 or 90 trucks which
we used to put in there because it was too old, spare parts. And then
maybe 4 or 5 trucks we'd take the parts, fix another one, keep it in
shape. Now you're going over the conveyor belt. Now you can see the
long conveyor belt. The Pope Company bought land '47, and they put a
conveyor belt. See, they have a crew, there is a shop only to repair
this conveyor belt. All this was barracks. See how rough is the sand.
You get the fine sand, the grit, everything.
page 3
ES: Did these conveyor belts break down
SD: Oh, yeah, they got to keep maintenance.
If one of them bearings breaks, it sags a little bit, and you see it
start to spill. So,what they do at night, they have a night crew to
repair all these conveyor belts. See, there's one there needs to be
changed -one of the rollers.
ES: How can you tell?
SD: The sand doesn't hit the belt anymore.
You see, it doesn't even turn. It's a dead roller. So that one has got
to be replaced.Because if another one goes, all the material drops.
See down there? That's the shack where they got the spring water. See,you
gotta keep checking all these things ... you get a different size of
screening, different size of grit. We'll follow the otherconveyor belt.
Because this one, it goes so far, then you have to come back again.
ES: Where do the conveyor belts start
SD: Where they dig.
ES: Could we get to where they dig?
SD: Yes. You're gonna see a lot of birds
over here. You're gonna see rabbits. Everything, you're gonna see.
ES: Look at the truck cemetery. There
are hundreds of them. These are really unusable now?
page 4
SD: Yes. Even if you tried to use it, the
engine, they have trouble with the engine, they leave it here on the
side. It's all corroded now. The operation is all hydraulic, and hydraulic
you gotta keep in condition. Otherwise, it will never work anymore.
The reasons these trucks are put away, like the body on this one is
pretty good, but the engine is of no use to them. They come and take
the radiator, and put it on another truck that is in operation. They're
obsolete. In other words, they're out of use. It doesn't pay to repair
anymore. We used to come in the back when we used to be busy. They say,
we need another ten trucks for this job. So we used to come back to
see the best one. According to the book, because we got the numbers.
1103, 1185. You know what's wrong with the truck. So you go pick 'em
up, take 'em out, and you know we have trouble with the mixer. So we
take it out of one, put it in another, and let the truck go to work.
I used to take parts from one to the other. That's pretty big, the one
over there. It's an 18-yard. See this one is the 12-, that's the 18-,
and some of them they got the 15-.
ES: Where do these trucks take the cement?
SD: They mix while they drive. It's what
they call transit mix. They go to the hopper and they get 8 yards of
sand, 3 yards ofgrit, 4 yards of cement, and they dump everything. They
got to mix and discharge. And they mix dry -- no water or nothing.Once
they get to the plant, to the job, the contractor tells you whether
they want a wet load or a dry load, so they put so many gallons of water.
Then they start to mix. He's gotta mix in 20 minutes. And it's gotta
be dumped. And it's gotta be dumped continuously. Cause if you keep
it there, it starts to set up a little bit.
page 5
ES: Where do they dump? On the building
site itself?
SD: No. They dump in chutes. They got
the chutes where they make the roads, and the truck keep moving, and
it keep dumping and then they got the machine to level off. For a road.
And building, they put in a big bucket, you raise it up about 2 yards
at a time. They keep dumping, they bring it up, and then they dump it.
And they got a vibrator, which they move the concrete so it doesn't
stick. So they mix it up so it won't form air pockets.
ES: Did they use it for streets around
SD: Oh, wherever they built the roads.
Colonial had four plants in Manhattan -- 54th Street, Roosevelt Avenue,
then they had one on 34th Street, and one on 150th -- all over Manhattan.
And they bring it with a barge. They bring all the material.
ES: It's not so noisy, the conveyor belt.
SD: You wait for a while, the noise is
coming back. Because now we got the part there is no joint. Underneath,
the joint is made of metal. That's where you get the noise. Wait. Because
the conveyor belt is coming back again.
SD: Can you see all this pile of dirt
ES: Yes.
page 6
SD: Because the conveyor belt broke. When
it gets really bad, they clean it out. Otherwise it hits the belt.
ES: To repair it they have to stop the
entire operation?
SD: Yes. They do it at night. Now this
is the one they complain, the pitch is too high -- it was too steep.
They had to grade it.
ES: They only have one truck digging.
SD: That's what they call a stiff leg.
They start to dig with that. This is separating the biggest stones.
Because you can't bring it through the washer. Now you can see how long
this conveyor belt is. This is a trap basin, to pick up the water with.
ES: This man is wearing a mask (near the
SD: I think he had a throat operation.
Agostino.. (short dialogue with Agostino in Italian)
A: It's down on the other side.
SD: Is the electrical one over there, or
the mechanical?
A: The payloader's is all mechanical.
SD: I'm talking about the drag-line.
page 7
A: They don't use it anymore, the drag-line.
ES: Why did they do away with it?
SD: It was too much money. You're talking
about a million dollars. That's a big machine. Part of that was electric.
It worked like a robot. I used to pick up ten yards of material at a
time, in one shot. Like a truckload. In one shot. They pick up. That's
too expensive. Cost over a million dollars.
A: It's in there.
SD: Oh, it's on the other side. We'll
take a look.
ES: Is that it sticking up?
A: Yes.
SD: Who's over there on the payloader
A: Dominic.
SD: The operation is not as big as when
Colonial used to have it.
page 8
That drag line was tremendous, used to work day and night. People used
to complain. At ten o'clock they had to stop. The drag line, it made
noise. And the people that lived there, they didn't want to hear this
noise. This is too steep now. They should go underneath and come out
slowly. A lot of clay in there. See that yellow color, the stuff gets
hard like concrete. You can tell right away that it's clay. Port Washington
has the best sand in the United States. Everybody loves this sand. New
Jersey, they send trucks over to pick up Port Washington sand. The men
keep going back and forth, checking every roller.
ES: The rock crushing used to crush these
SD: That's right, yes. They got the stone
crusher. They make gravel. That's all for a road. This is one of the
separators. Up in the washer, everything gets separated... the sand,
the grit, all this. And the water keeps washing all the time.
ES: How long do the conveyor belts last?
Twenty years?
SD: Oh, no, not that long. Because on
the sand, it's got acid. Sand has ferrous salt and acid. Colonial didn't
want to go out of business, but business slowed down. Construction was
very bad.
ES: They sold to Morewood.
SD: No, they sold to Utility and Industry.
Utility and Industry is not even in the concrete business, not even
in the construction business. It's a water company from Jamaica, and
they're more or less in the real estate business.
page 9
I think there's a long story behind that, because the cement company
was behind that. Because Colonial's got their own cement plant in Kingston
and they make their own cement. You want to see the drag line, right?
This is one of the buckets, too, they used to drag. But this is a small
one. Used to pick up and scoop, used to be with the stiff leg. Pick
up and dump, pick up and dump. Now they do it with a payloader. And
the payloader is not as fast as the drag line. Drag line is a big operation.
Now over here, they covered, but they dumped a lot of stuff in this
place. And I remember years ago, Helene Rubenstein, I think they dumped
a lot of chemicals. They told me that the wqtchman used to come and
he'd see the people go up inside. This is part of Colonial, too (stockpile
of tires half-buried). All together, it's four or five miles, everything.
ES: You're really far from civilization
SD: That's right. If you come, and you
don't know it, you don't know where to get out. .
ES: Does Antonio have a walkie talkie,
in case he gets into trouble?
SD: Oh, no. But they have men walking
back and forth all the time. At 3 o'clock the night crew comes in. They
work in the washer.
ES: Here's the drag line.
SD: When I was here, they never had this
thing dragging.
ES: This was probably brought in in the
page 10
ES: How did you know about owning the stock
in Metropolitan?
SD: In about 1951 Colonial brought em
ES: Frank was telling us Joe Kennedy used
to come down. There seemed to be a lot of political figures.
SD: Oh, Colonial, a lot of politicians
involved in Colonial. Here's the tunnel. Marino used to work there,
in the tunnel. If there was anything that broke under the tunnels, he
gotta see it.
(Machine sounds from trucks, conveyor belts, etc.)
ES: Here are some machine shop sounds.
ES: Tell me about the Colonial reunion.
Where was it held?
SD: In Leonard's. There were 400 people.
In Great Neck. I sent invitations to everybody. 1576, that's the people
used to work in Colonial. They had people from Kentucky, from Florida,
from Maine. They come from allover. Since they are retired,we are lucky
enough to track them down to find out the reunion. I has one as far
as Arizona.
ES: What are they doing now?
SD: Some of them, they moved out there,
they stayed. Some of them worked for different companies. Not sandmining,
but a different concrete business. Or material export.
page 11
ES: Was management there?
SD: Well, Tony's one of them. Tony Scopa,
used to work there.
ES: They could build another town here.
SD: Or another industry, so our taxes could
go down. With the small industry and good landscaping it looks beautiful.
This is part of Colonial, too. It looks small until you get in there.
ES: I wonder why they called themselves
SD: Because this was an Italian colony,
with the old man Pope. That's what they called it. That's where they
got the name.
ES: Did you know Pope?
SD: Yes, the father. Not the son. I mean,
I know the sons, they're still living, but the old man, he was a great
man, believe me. Great person. The man came over, even when he died,
couldn't sign his own name. Never went to school, nothing. He used to
make a cross, and he bought the company in his name, not on his brain.
I'll tell you one thing. He was not an educated man, but he was shrewd.
He was a businessman. He knows how to handle the dollar, and he gambled.
And he treat the working people, the men, For instance, in 1947, 46,
the union come in. And I remember every year, we signed a contract.
He said, all right, the contract is signed. It was four or five different
companies. And he said, "For my men, 10 cents an hour more."
After the contract was signed, he used to give!
page 12
Then he picks men, the best men that he's got over there, and he said,
!'Give me a group of men. I want 60 men.'! Themechanics, not the chauffeur,
the best one got from 5 to 20 cents an hour more, according to the capacity.
He used to treat usgood. Now there is the kids. The son has got the
Inquirer. That's Generoso Pope, Jr.
ES: Frank (Barker) told me he's still
friendly with the chauffeur.
SD: The one he has now?
ES: The one he had then, and still has.
SD: Eddy Mandarino.
ES: Yes, Eddy Mandarino.
SD: Thursday night, we had a meeting.
When Frank he wanted to join
the committee for the Colonial reunion. We're gonna have it again this
ES: When?
SD: And Thursday we're having a meeting
over at Aiello's office. And Eddy Mandarino is 78 now.
ES: Is the reunion going to be in the
SD: Yes, October 17th. At Leonard's.
page 13
ES: Maybe we could set a little exhibit.
Do you think they would like that?
SD: Oh, yes. Because now who's involved
is the Teamsters. And the Teamsters, I organized the first reunion because
it was an idea between myself and the chauffeur. And the Teamsters said,
"Go right ahead, " and the Teamsters got something in with
Leonard's. And we got the best room, the best hall, the best food you
want. The President, Cody, he's in trouble and eventually Cody's gonna
go in jail now. I think the only they're gonna get him is tax evasion.
But now he's gonna take over Sasso. Sasso is the one who wants me to
run the reunion again. And there's no problem with the reunion for them,
because the Teamsters themselves they got all the delegates and all
the chauffeurs, and they all come in. They fill up the hall fast. Then
when we make the journal, you send the delegate out. You give them 3
or 4 slips each, and you say, "Bring me a contract." $100
each. They go to the contractor; they pay for it. $30 each last year,
we had dinner and dance, gala. (laughter).
ES: Thank you so much for taking me on
this tour.
SD: That's why I was saying that night
when we had the reunion over at the house (Catherine Chester's), you
are interested in the foundations of Colonial. About 35 years ago.

The Ankh Cross Symbol
The Ankh is the Egyptian mythological symbol for LIFE. It is said to have "brought about Life for the first time". For others the Ankh represents healing, fertility, rebirth and regeneration. The Ankh can represent strength with life giving qualities of water and air.
As the ancient Christians became aware of the symbol of the Ankh they noticed similarities to the Christian cross. It wasn't long after that the Ankh took on new meaning in the western world and became known as the "Cross of Life".
It is now very common to wear the ankh pendant as either a ancient Egyptian symbol for life or as a Christian cross.
