No. 22/23 Colorado (15-4, 4-4) at No. 18/19 UCLA (15-4, 6-2)

TV Talent: Anne Marie Anderson (play-by-play), Tammy Blackburn (analyst)
No. 18/19 UCLA (15-4, 6-2 Pac-12) continues its four-game homestand on Friday, Feb. 1 when it hosts the 22nd-ranked Colorado Buffaloes (15-4, 4-4). Tip-off slated for 8:06 p.m. and the game will be televised on Pac-12 Networks.
After sweeping the Arizona schools at home last week, the UCLA Bruins moved up one spot to No. 18 in the AP Top 25 Poll and one spot to No. 19 in the USA Today Coaches Poll. UCLA held steady at No. 15 in the NCAA Women's Basketball RPI (NCAA.com). The Bruins have been ranked at least one week in both polls in each of the past four seasons. This is just the sixth meeting between UCLA and Colorado with the Bruins leading the series 3-2. Last year, UCLA won the only meeting in Boulder, Colo., 62-54 in overtime on Jan. 29, 2012. Markel Walker tied a career high with 24 points and added 10 rebounds, Rebekah Gardner (17) and Thea Lemberger (13) were also in double figures in scoring and Corinne Costa had a personal-best 10 boards with four blocks, as the Bruins outlasted the Buffaloes at the Coors Events Center. UCLA jumped out to an early 9-2 lead in the first six minutes, taking advantage of Colorado missing its first 13 shots. The Buffaloes led 24-23 at halftime after Chucky Jeffery hit a jumper as time expired. Gardner scored a layup with 14 seconds left to send the game into overtime. Lexy Kresl led Colorado with 15 points while Jeffery had 14. Jen Reese had a game-high 14 rebounds to go with six points for the Buffaloes.
UCLA is second in the Pac-12 in scoring (70.6 ppg) and is 4th in the Pac-12 and 28th in the country in rebounding margin (+7.6). The Bruins lead the Pac-12 and rank 23rd in the nation in assists (16.3) and also leads the league in steals (12.0), which ranks 27th nationally. UCLA is also second in the Pac-12 in rebounds per game (44.2) and in offensive rebounds (17.0). The Bruins are also third in the league in turnover margin (+1.7) and assist/turnover ratio (0.9).
The UCLA Bruins improved to 3-0 under Head Coach Cori Close in overtime games in her two seasons with last week's 53-52 win in overtime at St. John's (Dec. 16). Last season, the Bruins posted back-to-back overtime wins at Colorado (62-54 on Jan. 29, 2012) and at home versus Washington (79-73 on Feb. 2, 2012).
Markel Walker has four double-doubles this season, which ranks seventh in the Pac-12. Additionally, the two Bruins have had double-doubles in the same game three times this season. Walker had 17 points and 10 rebounds in the 86-66 win over Loyola Marymount (Dec. 2) while Brewer had 14 points and 11 rebounds against the Lions. Walker later had 15 points and 12 rebounds in the 76-62 win over Saint Mary's (Dec. 15) as Brewer chipped in 12 points and 10 boards against the Gaels. In the loss to Cal State Northridge (Dec. 20), Brewer had 14 points and 12 rebounds with Walker adding 12 points and 12 boards.
Only three of the 13 Bruins have played in all 19 games of the 2012-13 season and nobody has started in all of those contests, forcing Head Coach Markel Walker missed the Arizona game (Jan. 25) with back spasms, but returned on Sunday for the Arizona State game (Jan. 27), but managed only two points in 19 minutes. The Bruins have already used 179 different combinations of players on the court at the same time this season. In a total of 765 minutes of game action, the leading combination on the floor in terms of minutes played together is Markel Walker and Alyssia Brewer, but they have only been on the court at the same time for a total of 56:43.


text: As a little Irish Colleen growing up in Ireland, here's some of the things I remember and was told about St Patrick's Day; wearing green, pining some shamrock "the real stuff" to our jackets, painting our cheeks, heading out as a family to watch the "St Patrick's Day parade," having fun making noise (but not me, I'm a good girl NOT). After the parade we couldn't wait to get home for that yummy Irish Stew. You could smell it as soon as you walked in the house and of course those green cupcakes for dessert. Mum made the best. Oh and watching the Darby O'Gill and the little people movie. (got to say that banshee was always scary) (more…)

By Paul Fitzgerald - When you meet Michael Hecktus, you know right off the bat that he is outgoing, creative, innovative, sincere, and one who cares about others. His charisma and positive body language is more than evident, and his voice is upbeat - beyond confident. You can tell right away that is he open to new ideas and he eloquently and naturally engages you in conversation.
And, if you haven't met Michael Hecktus, then you really should.
Today, April 15, 2014, the New Age Performance Group announced that the former Masters Bodybuilding Athlete and current resident of Stratford, ON will take the position as Head of Athlete Relations.
The New Age Performance Group are the makers of a new mouthpiece that is now being used by literally thousands of athletes in Canada, the USA and beyond.
"I am thrilled to be on the team," says Hecktus during an interview from his home. "Words just can't describe how good I feel. I am so proud to be working with the New Age team and scores of athletes locally and globally. My passion is inspiring others to achieve greatness in their life. The Athletes we are bringing on board are all of the same mindset; it is such a positive group to be surrounded by."
He adds, "I believe in the New Age Group and the new device they are offering – it's simply out of this world and their invention is going to be a staple in the sports industry, there's no doubt about it. It's changing the way we train and compete."
Rob Charlton, co-owner of the company, says they could not have picked a better person to head up its athlete relations division.
"Michael Hecktus is a relationship builder and one who truly knows how to bring people together on many levels," says Charlton. "He has a rich history in the bodybuilding world and is simply sound in working with so many athletes in the sports industry. Most of all, he is one who is personable, very professional and is committed to the very community he lives in. He is a leader and we are elated he accepted the offer to join our team on a senior level. Our future is even brighter now with Michael on board."
Since the early 1980's Hecktus has been an avid gym rat, as they say, and as recently as 2012 he became a household name as a leading bodybuilder in the over 50 age category, showing everyone you're never too old to get in shape and step on the stage.
He spends his days partnered with a very close business friend and recently launched BIENNE Re-Invented, an ESP Group of Companies that imports writing products for the promotions and advertising industry and ships all across North America.
Michael states, "I like to surround myself with like-minded positive people and the partnership with BIENNE and New Age Performance gave me just that. I live by the code: wake up every morning loving what you do."
He is also the founder and owner of THE JUMP GROUP, a marketing and advertising agency. His company is an official product agent for many popular brands including Wilson Golf and Nike Golf.
The New Age Performance Group offers a unique and cutting-edge mouthpiece. The New Age Performance Mouthpiece is based on the principals of neuromuscular dentistry. The device is placed on your lower jaw, placing it in its optimal position. Years of scientific research proves that when your jaw is aligned, it has positive benefits on the body.
Take the recent study by Rutgers University as an example. The esteemed institution via its sports and athletes research division have released a study on proper jaw alignment and concluded it has a beneficial impact on overall athletic performance.
The list of notables using the new device is impressive. They include: Andew "Cobra" Rhodes, star on AMC's Game of Arms; Jessica MacMillan-Falls, who was crowned the First Place Figure Winner at the 2014 Arnold Sports Festival; Jill Bunny who owns Team Bunny: Fit Bunnies Fitness and who was the only Canadian to place in the Top 5 for the Bikini Class F Competition at the 2014 Arnold Sports Festival; Ania Anvaryfar of A2 Fitness Inc. who was just crowned the second place winner in the World's Top Figure Competition the 2014 Arnold Sports Festival; and Peter Czerwinski, known as the popular 'Furious Pete,' who fought a battle with anorexia and won after finding a passion for bodybuilding. There are also a large number of athletes in all sports biting on this new technology.

This whole opening will be devoted to Trevor Rosenthal. Why? Because you are being put on notice, a notice to cease and desist your sucktitude. Watching you makes me wanna renew my prescription card to the herbal remedy place. The stats are yuck, take your K's and jump around as he huffs and puffs and blows your WHIP house down. I wanna take a moment and send this note just for Trevor.
Trevor… Hey what's up man. I don't know you, don't know if you read Razzball, but you should, because we are like the Danity Kane of Fantasy Baseball. Take a look over your shoulder my friend, you see that beard having flame thrower getting prepped in the minors? Yeah, that's basically Wally Pipp coming back, but in this case he will be called Jason Motte. Now, Jason is a level-headed bloke, he stabbed someone in 3rd grade for stealing his apple sauce at snack time, and though all charges were dropped and wall-ball was played after… he is coming. Like the Balrog that Gandalf had to beat up… You have been warned homie. Oh, and say hello to your mother for me.
So if you are reading this and have a DL spot,or a wasted spot you wanna spec on for a week or two, now is the time. What's the worst that can happen? Well, he comes back and shats the bed on your bench, but who cares? That's like doing it on someone else's bed, and they have a maid. Stick around for some tid-bits or bits of tid for the guy who wears a helmet and reads this column.Please, blog, may I have some more?

Saadia Me'Chel Hey Justin & Mary! You guys totally rock. Congrats on the magazine feature! I would really love to attend your lighting workshop. Frankly, external lighting scares me because I don't really understand it fully. I'm tired of be fearful everytime less than stellar lighting conditions present themselves. It would be awesome to learn from masters like yourselves so that I may take my business to the next level. I really need this :-) Jul 12, 2012, 8:53am

Allison Thanks for your awesome advice & wisdom on the podcast today! You two are inspirational :) Jul 11, 2012, 10:51pm
Heather Beach I missed the Joy of Marketing event, but the live chat you did on lighting a few months back totally changed the way I look at lighting. I always struggled with it and something finally clicked during your live chat. I seriously spent the next week analyzing how light fell, and the shadows and the texture they created, on everything as I was just going through my normal day. I even set up one of my favorite pairs of heels in natural light and took photos from all different angles to check out the difference my position to the light made on the image. Then I set them up with my off-camera flash and did the same thing. And I've never been more proud of cake/cupcake photos at a wedding since practicing what I learned in your chat - lol! :) I would SO love to win a seat to your lighting intensive! Thanks for all the information and inspiration you share - I *love* your blog! Jul 11, 2012, 10:29pm
Jessica Thank you both SO much for sharing all that amazing information and for being so inspiring! The couples you work with are very lucky, and I hope that in the future my own couples can come close to being as lucky :) Jul 11, 2012, 10:05pm

Stephanie Bishop Hey Justin & Mary! Both Daniel & I met and fell in love at the Hallmark Institute of photography and guess where we first met y'all?? Your talk at our school in 2008 was just phenomenal and it blew our minds. However, at that point, we were young and with our eyes blinded by the bright glamorous lights of the advertising and fashion world, we wanted to be a fashion and commercial product photographers. Alas, the mist cleared and we are now happily married in Hattiesburg, Mississippi after an intense 18month long-distance relationship between America and Singapore! And what's funny is that we are happily running our own wedding and portrait photography business together :) And now we are set on fire by you two! Our dreams are still big, but they have been "tweaked". Your business savvy and genius customer experiences has since been such an inspiration to us. Thank you so much for speaking for free at this event and thank you so much for creating your guide that we are going to devour. We will see you guys soon! Jul 11, 2012, 7:55pm

Jen Roberson I loved your presentation on TJOM. Your marketing style just totally jives with everything I've been feeling. I actually remembered your video from creativeLIVE w/ Skip Cohen which proves the strength of the connections you were talking about. Jul 11, 2012, 5:42pm

Jason Tench Congrats! Jul 11, 2012, 4:59pm
Cathy Justin and Mary, thank you so much for your Joy of Marketing session. My partner, Jeff, and I are in the process of trying to reassess and re-evaluate our business because doing what everyone else does, just isn't working for us. In one short hour, you managed to completely inspire me and help me see that the way we're thinking about our business isn't totally crazy-that if it's ours, then we can change the rules and play the game differently. I can't thank you enough. We're already starting on a totally different About Us section that actually reflects us, and we're already talking about how to connect with potential client-friends differently :-) If we could win the contest and hang out with you guys, that would be absolutely amazing. But even if we don't, just finding you guys and the inspiration you've already given has been incredible. Thank you, thank you, thank you. -Cathy (and Jeff too!)- Jul 11, 2012, 4:20pm
Taylor Hey just listened to the whole event! I was wondering what were some of the things you do to follow up post wedding. Not right after but a year or so or less. GREAT TALK! Jul 11, 2012, 4:12pm
SherylCulp My clients hae always come by word of mouth referrals and I totally love that they want me to shoot their wedding or senior portraits, etc. That worked great for part time - now I'm trying to kick in full-time so I loved your talk and I'm going to start reading your blog. Fantastic info and so along the lines of who I am! Jul 11, 2012, 4:01pm

kristen schueler Thanks for "The Guide". I've heard you guys talk so many times and read a ton of your blog posts, but there's something about having it all written in neat little package that is a bit more inspiring.

Looks like someone might have jumped the gun a little bit. Fry's has begun selling the Lynnfield Core i5 750 CPU.
Now this is very interesting as Intel has not official launched the Core i5 line nor have they launched the P55 chipset to support it. It sounds like someone got their NDA dates all mixed up and pushed the wrong item out to the website and added the item in stores.
According to reports Fry's is now saying that the CPUs are actually in stock and this is not a pre-order setup.
I can hear the phones ringing at Fry's right now
Fry's- Hello Fry's how can I help you?
Intel - Yes this is the Intel Corporation legal Department

A review from the Early Music of HMSC's recent CD release of an entirely modern work written especially for the group in 2012:
Hats off to HMSC and Martyn Harry for this brave venture. This world premier recording presents Martyn Harry's new composition, inspired by HMSC. Nineteen movements totalling seventy one and a half minutes make it quite an exercise.
The opening movements prompt the question: how abstract is a composition from the instruments it was conceived for? How much of their typical range, tone, idiom and canon infect the creation of a piece? The initial idiom is that of modern writing for modern wind ensemble, and so the aural lens curiously resolves thos instruments in the music, since the characteristics of the historic instruments are crowded out, or perhaps suggested out. The programmatic construct (the story of a ficticious young prince approaching kingship) is explicitly inspired by the historic instruments, a least by their names and historical context. The unconcious musical implication of this is that the ear is motivated to seek our a narrative thread (in the musical pattern-evolving sense, as opposed to the programmatic narrative) as it would do in that repertoire. A more natural distance from this quest gradually evoles, in which the apprectiation becomes more about the canvas of tonal colours. Having made this transition, we reach the fourth movement, in which musical narrative does arrive, and stays throughout the remainder of the disc. This is a strange jolt, but stimulating one, and it perhaps sets up the ear for appreciating compositional elements which do remain throughout.
The fifth movement is possibly the least abstract, and characterised by a repeated falling augmented octave, as a soporific sigh or gentle snore with interruptions from a known child's melody (a scene from a child's bedroom?) By the sixth we now see the characteristic way the cornett moves between notes being given air time. The intermingling of the harpsichord and (in other movements) the strong-toned chamber organ with the brass is very imaginative, resulting in some really intriguing sounds. Another such sound is the solo for sagbutt and tuning devices. I hear three although there may be more, for there are not only beats, but these break into rhythmic patters as the pitches are modified, which is a very inventive trick. The movement which shares its title with the name of the ensemble is the one which references its customary repertoire most - in a multiply refracted way; reminding me of the 'Baroque Variations' of Lukas Foss.
This is an extremely witty pieces of writing, as is the disc as a whole, and the full hour-and-the-rest is packed with imagination. The titaes of the movements themselves are witty pastiches of titles and turns of phrase from our imagined Tudoreque court. It is wonderful that new music, let alone music of this level of excitement and inventiveness is being composed for historic instruments. I am sure it will stimulate more to follow; and should be a cultural force which helps maintain the playing of these instruments
This disc is one that itself rewards repeated listening. Steven CassidyEarly Music Review
A review from the Scotsman of HMSC's appearance, alongside Concerto Palatino, at the Edinburgh International Festival on 13 August 2012:
IT MAY not possess the cavernous galleries and ringing acoustics of St Mark's in Venice, but what we did gain from this programme of music by Giovanni Gabrieli – one of the hugely famous roll call of former maestro di cappella of the iconic Venetian basilica – in the more homely austerity of Greyfriars Kirk was a genuine sense of intimacy and clarity.
As the opener to this year's series of early evening Greyfriars concerts, the intention was to mark the 400th anniversary of Gabrieli's death. And in the space of a very pleasant hour, the joint cornett and sackbut players of Concerto Palatino and His Majestys Sagbutts & Cornetts served up a seamless programme of assorted canzoni and sonatas that did full justice to Gabrieli's genius.
Sure, there was recurring evidence of that sense of basic formula which characterises the late Venetian Baroque sound. But a sequence of works that moved with silken ease between 4, 7, 8 or the full complement of ten players (plus two supportive organists), and which embraced the wholesome pleasure of the Canzon prima toni a 10 and the intimate virtuosity of Sonata XXI con tre violini with equal sensitivity and finesse, also revealed the unmistakably immaculate craftsmanship of Gabrieli's arty.
The warm, clean acoustics served to amplify the perfect intonation of the joint ensembles. A bit of Venice came alive in Edinburgh.

CANZONE PER SONARE - Early Music, 2011
The qualities of His Majestys Sagbutts & Cornetts have been established for many years, particularly in relation to sound-quality and agility in the improvised ornamentations. The ensemble generates a real sensation of splendour through the dialogues between wind and string groups.
Sunday, 21 February 2010
His Majestys Sagbutts and Cornetts is one of the finest ensembles playing early music today. Their virtuosity shone through everything they played. They were joined by their friend Roger B. Williams on both the Italian Chamber Organ and the Aubertin.
Television chefs are always ranting on about how certain foods are "special friends. What they mean is that that they go particularly well together. Well, the organ is the "special friend" of the brass ensemble and even more so when early instruments are involved. Sometimes, in fact, the blend was so perfect that you had to listen very hard to disentangle the sounds of the chamber organ from the rest of the ensemble, in the Pavan by Peter Philips or the Ave Virgo Sanctissima by Francisco Guerrero for instance. In the Galliard 'Dolorosa' by Philips however the voice of the organ was more clearly heard and its contribution in a higher register to In nomine a 5 by Orlando Gibbons was a special delight.
All the pieces played by the ensemble members were highlights but there is not room to mention them all so I will pick just a few items which really delighted me. There was the chattering counterpoint between cornett and sackbut in Palestrina's Vestiva I colli. The cornett as we heard in many of the pieces is well suited to pouring out dazzling free flowing cascades of notes but I was impressed when this was matched on the sackbut by Adam Woolf, not an easy thing to accomplish.
The duo of cornetts in music by Correa de Arauxo followed by the two sackbuts in music by Selma y Salaverde both gaining antiphonal effects played from the gallery sounded amazing. The Batalla del sexto tono by Ximénez had the instruments calling to one another in echoing imitation across the battlefield contrasting with the gentle sounds of Pereat Dies by Diego Ortiz.
The concert ended with Adam Woolf's special arrangement which brought together all the performers in weaving together Greensleeves with a Ricercar by Diego Ortiz as well as some lively dance tunes: a fabulous culmination to the performance component of the Italian Organ Project.
Alan Cooper. J.
This is a fine, and fun, addition to the early brass recording canon. The playing is expert and musical, varying from tear-inducing to energetic, and Faye Newton has a nice, clear, early-music type of voice which both blends with the brass, yet rises above them when needed. Of the group's nearly 20 albums, this has quickly become one of my favorites.
--Paul Schmidt, Historic Brass Society - review of Music for the Twelve Days of Christmas...
'the playing is nothing short of exquisite. A breath of fresh air' from a review of our Grillo CD
'This consort is the pre-eminent group of its kind: they are brilliant advocates for the extraordinary variety of styles, moods and genres to be found in instrumental music of the 16th and 17th century...There is a technical assurance and sensitivity of the kind one might expect from a fine string quartet' (Classic FM)
'These players demonstrate perfectly how a balance of scholarship and expert period performance can restore familiar music to such radiant good health that we wondered how it ever survived before. Unanimity of articulation, gently tapered phrase endings and the soft fluency of two cornetts combine to give rare pleasure' (BBC)
'This group is now the longest established and most respectable ensemble of its kind in the world. With such an interestingly varied program - rich in sound, impressive in technique and often subtle in expression - it is easy to be enthusiastic' (Historic Brass Society)
'From the glistening virtuosity of its opening through a bewildering patchwork of lyrical solos, dazzling passagework, and imitative antiphonal exchanges...the effect is electrifying' (Fanfare)
'One only has to experience the variety of timbre, articulation and expressive nuance to realise that HMSC are, first and foremost, fine and imaginative chamber musicians' (Gramophone)
'The sound is crystal clear...the playing is immaculate: beautifully crisp and clean'... 'witty but unfussy playing' ...'consistently approachable'... 'These masterful performances are alive with authentic detail... a rare and unforgettable sound'... 'The balance between all the instruments is managed with almost flamboyant ease'... 'They are experts in control and subtle simplicity as well as virtuoso decoration'...'The beauteous playing sweeps one away into a feeling of nobility and calm such as only really first rate brass music can achieve'

Fatal infant fall from window ruled accident
CHULA VISTA - The death of an 11-month-old girl who fell from the third-floor window of a Chula Vista apartment has been ruled an accident, the county Medical Examiner's Office reported today.
Aaliyah Belen Ramirez was playing on a bed near her father, who was talking on the phone around 6:40 p.m. Monday, at the family's home at 1251 Santa Cora Avenue, according to the Medical Examiner's Office and Chula Vista police. Police said her mother was also home at the time.
The man reached over to feel for the baby, but she was no longer there. He then looked at the edge of the bed and saw Aaliyah fall through the screen of the bedroom window and onto the concrete driveway below, officials with the Medical Examiner's Office said.
The girl's father rushed outside and grabbed her, and a neighbor called for help, authorities said. Paramedics found her unresponsive and attempted to revive her.
She was airlifted to Rady Children's Hospital, where she died from blunt force trauma shortly before 8 p.m. Monday, police and the Medical Examiner's Office said.

If any of your favorite cruise ships seem to have mysteriously disappeared from cruise line itineraries this month, don't worry. They are most likely one of approximately eight different vessels holed up in Piraeus, the port for Athens, where they'll serve as floating hotels throughout the 2004 Olympic Games.
The ships, which include Cunard's Queen Mary 2, Silversea's Silver Whisper and Silver Wind, and Holland America's Rotterdam and Oosterdam, will provide accommodation for VIPs and athletes. Queen Mary 2 has nabbed many high profile guests, such as French president Jacques Chirac and the U.S. men's basketball team. Former president George H. W. Bush is also staying onboard a ship, though the vessel has not been identified. One ship is actually housing tourists visiting the games -- that's Holland America's Westerdam.
Even as the cruise industry has embraced high levels of security no matter where ships sail, these vessels will be subjected to even more intense procedures, what a news report calls "war like security." This includes patrolling by elite commando forces, barbed wire fences with motion sensors, and detectors that can pick up radiological, biological or chemical matter.

Last week, it was announced that NASA, via approval from Congress and the President, was going to be flying the International Space Station (ISS) through calendar year 2024, a 4-year mission extension that would take the ISS 9 years past its original mission, which was slated to only run through 2015. Now, some are pushing for another extension: this one all the way to 2050!
In an interview with Universe Today, Frank Culbertson, former NASA shuttle commander and now vice president at Orbital Sciences, said that "in my opinion, if it were up to me, we would fly it [the station] to 2050!"
Culbertson then added that it would take the consent of Congress to do that.
Speaking further, Culbertson added that "there is really no reason to stop operations on the space station until it is completely no longer usable. And I think it will be usable for a very long time because it is very built and very well maintained." Culbertson then added that the Station has only recently been completed and is only now starting to fulfill its designed potential.
So, how about flying through 2050? Well, that could be a bit over-ambitious.
While the decision to fly the ISS through 2050 instead of 2024 sounds like a good idea, it was not one without its problems, chiefly among them: that the ISS was originally intended to fly only through 2015! The issue here: can the ISS, whose first components were launched way back in 1998, even stand up to the physical/structural rigors of an extended mission?
That's the problem that engineers spent the past several years analyzing, eventually concluding that the ISS has a lot more life in it than the initial mission proposal gave it credit for. To that end, the mission has already been extended twice in the past, first from 2015 to 2020 and, as of a few days ago, to 2024.
For many, it would be a shame to see the station be decommissioned while it still life in it, especially considering the fact that the ISS's construction was 10 years behind schedule. Originally, the ISS was set to be finished in 2003, but that was delayed because of the space shuttle Columbia disaster early in the same year. The shuttles would be grounded until July, 2005. While it was an undeniable fact that the shuttles were getting old, it was also true that they are the only space vehicles large enough to carry the large components of the ISS into orbit. The problem was obvious: no shuttle flights, no major construction. With the completion delayed all those years, the ISS, if it served out its intended lifespan to 2015, will only have a couple years in orbit as a completed station, not the 12 originally intended.
A lot of money-conscious politicians all over the world didn't like this idea, either, which has been a driving factor (along with the science) for the mission extensions. For the record, there's official talk in NASA of yet another extension, this one taking the ISS into 2028. So, if the ISS flies through 2028, what's another 22 years, right?
Stay tuned!

Quick Cut Flowers (page 3 of 4)
by Joan Huyser-Honig
Scabiosa (S. atropurpurea, S. stellata)
Scabiosa 'Butterfly Blue'
Vase life: 5 to 7 days. Also called mourning bride and pincushion flower (S. atropurpurea), these densely petaled, mounded blossoms span the spectrum from blue and lavender through pink and white. The fragrant, double, 3-inch flowers attract butterflies, too. The small, lavender-blue pincushions of S. stellata, known as starflower, ripen into coral-like bronze seedheads, perfect for drying. Scabiosas grow 24 to 48 inches tall.
Given moist, well-drained, fertile soil, Scabiosa will bloom summer to frost in all zones. Cut after most florets have opened, strip lower leaves, split stem ends, and condition in cold water before using as a filler or round accent in vase.
Snapdragons (Antirrhinum majus)
Vase life: 7 to 14 days. These brilliant spires evoke strong responses. Though they come in every shade but blue, many gardeners adore pure white and pale yellow because they work with any other color you grow. Others prefer single or open-faced snaps such as 'Bright Butterflies'. "Doubles look too gawky," he says. Stems of 18 to 36 inches provide much-needed spikiness in annual arrangements.
Snaps like partial shade in hot areas and fertile soil in all zones. Frowine suggests stretching layers of 4-by 4-inch mesh between corner posts over growing plants so stems will grow straight. The floral candelabras dazzle from late spring to frost. Bring a pail of cool water to the garden. Cut when lower flowers are open and dunk up to lowest flowers on stem. Recut stems under water.
Statice (Limonium sinuatum, Psylliostachys suworowii)
Vase life: 14 days. Given rich, well-drained soil, statice delivers crisp sprays with rainbow colors. This everlasting provides filler for fresh and dried displays. "Statice isn't the plant to buy at Wal-Mart," floriculture professor John Dale says. "It stunts in the flat very easily and should be transplanted before flower buds appear." Out West, annual 'Turbo' can be direct-seeded and will overwinter; all its intense colors bloom at once. Most L. sinuatum ('Soiree', 'Pacific', 'Turbo') grows 24- to 30-inches tall.
Russian statice (Psylliostachys suworowii) forms 18-inch-tall pink pokers perfect for nosegays. Statice blooms all summer until hard frost in every zone. Harvest during dry weather when most florets show color. Or, store statice in water and refrigerate for several weeks.
Sunflowers (Helianthus annuus, H. debilis hybrids)
Mixed sunflowers
Vase life: up to 7 days. "Sunflowers are tough as nails. Anyone can grow them," says Steve Jones, flower seed manager at Bodger Seeds in southern California. Daylength-neutral 'Sunbeam' blooms in 60 days, no matter where sown. John Dole says commercial growers like 'Sonja,' an early, 3 1/2-foot plant with tangerine-orange blooms. Most sunflowers will top 5 feet unless you curtail height and flower size by closely spacing them in beds or whiskey barrels. New pollenless types ('Sunbeam', 'Sunbright', 'Sunrich Lemon' and 'Orange') are single-stemmed, cleaner to display in a vase and last longer than pollinated types. But you get more flowers per plant from branching 'Valentine' or 'Autumn Beauty', a mix that includes bronze, purple, and bicolors.
Given well-drained soil, sunflowers bloom all summer in every zone. Cut newly opened flowers; scald stem ends in boiling water.

There is one simple truth that women across the nation understand that our male counterparts don't quite get-chocolate in and of itself is its own form of therapy. Rich, delicious therapy. There is something comforting about taking a bite of chocolate that instantly helps us feel a tiny bit better about whatever is stressing us out. What a lot of us-male and female-don't realize is how good chocolate can truly be for us.
Julie Pech, founder of The Chocolate Therapist, knows and she has crafted an entire business around the numerous health benefits of eating dark chocolate. She managed to merge the two loves of her life, nutrition and chocolate, into creating her dream of becoming a published author. After 16 months of research, she wrote The Chocolate Therapist, A User's Guide to the Extraordinary Health Benefits of Chocolate. Once the book was available, she made it her personal mission to convert the chocolate loving public into dark chocolate fanatics. As her popularity grew, Julie found herself in great demand-radio and television stations were requesting to interview her and she was often featured in newspapers and magazines. She began to incorporate additional chocolate knowledge into her talks and soon found herself making presentations on the proper way to taste chocolate and pairing wine and chocolate. She hired a local chocolatier to make her custom recipes, eventually buying the shop herself when the owners decided to sell.
Julie's unique recipes are hand crafted from all natural ingredients and never contain preservatives, dyes or artificial flavors. These tempting creations can be purchased in her Littleton, Colorado shop or through The Chocolate Therapist website. I was fortunate and received a variety of Julie's chocolates to sample and my mouth has never been happier! The sample package I was sent contained the following chocolates: Down by the Sea Salt Bar, Double Shot Bar, Sea Salt Caramels, Toffee Bark and Peanut Butter Meltaways. Unfortunately, I am highly allergic to almonds and was unable to try the Down by the Sea Salt bar or the Toffee Bark, but I have co-workers and roommates who were more than happy to fill in for me. The toffee nearly caused a riot at the restaurant where I work. Comments I overheard were "Oh my God, this is amazing!" "This is the best toffee I have ever eaten." and "Can you get me more of this? I can't stop myself from eating it.". My roommates shared the Down by the Sea Salt bar and said that it was very, very good chocolate. I have no direct quotes from either of them, but the smiles on their faces spoke volumes.
I shared the Double Shot Bar with my oldest son, who loves his chocolate as rich and as dark as his coffee. Upon popping a piece into his mouth and savoring it for a moment he smiled and said "Pretty good, Mom!" High praise for a kid that almost ordered anchovies on his pizza at lunch today. This bar is made with a 55% dark chocolate and ground espresso beans. It has a delightfully dark hue, possesses a beautiful sounding snap and a offers up a deep, rich flavor that is second to none.
I shared the Peanut Butter Meltaways with a co-worker of mine that I know has a penchant for chocolate and peanut butter. Upon popping a piece into his mouth, his eyes lit up as he exclaimed "Oh my!". I have been known to ply this particular co-worker with Reese cups when he gets in a bad mood, so I knew this was high praise indeed. Instead of a straight peanut butter filling that most peanut butter candies possess, The Chocolate Therapist's filling is a blend of chocolate and peanut butter together that offers a deeper, richer flavor that isn't as overpowering as straight peanut butter can be. I found it unusual and intoxicating at the same time.
Last, and certainly not least, are the hedonistic Sea Salt Caramels. I saved these specifically for myself and savored every last decadent morsel. Rich buttery caramel is enveloped with dark chocolate then sprinkled with sea salt. The flavor combination is absolutely amazing! I have been a fan of caramels since I was a child and I have never experienced a candy quite like these.
I am a candy crafter, so I know first hand of the time and dedication it takes to create unique recipes, and Julie's are above those of any other chocolatier I have tried-myself included. If you are looking for a treat for yourself or a loved one, I will highly recommend The Chocolate Therapist to anyone searching for a truly memorable chocolate experience.

These are a few suggestions from the Southeast:
a. "Grow your own" approaches have merit
b. While signing bonuses send a signal that teachers are valued, they may not be sufficient
c. Improving working conditions may help reduce turnover
d. Better data is needed to inform good decisions
These are some recommendations:
a. States, districts, and educators should clearly articulate what it means to be a "highly qualified teacher." The state definition should be made known to policy makers and the public, and should also clarify what it means to be an effective teacher in hard-to-staff schools
b. Better salaries and signing bonuses are important, but alone they will not be enough
c. Invest more in school systems and universities that prepare teachers for urban and rural hard-to-staff schools
d. Use the right combination of incentives to proactively recruit and retain teachers, including a focus on building a critical mass of accomplished teachers in these schools and dramatically improving working conditions for them

Advice me please conc. my IE80
Hi there,
This is my first post so I'm just going to introduce myself shortly with the gear I am familiar with and what I do with it.
I'm Austrian-Polish but live in Los Angeles now.
I want best possible sound with best quality bass for listening to mainly Trip Hop and Big Beat. Maybe I'm not audiophile per se because I just don't have that much money but I appreciate good music quality.
I recently received original Sennheiser IE80 and own a hifiman 601 and a Cowon i7.
I just purchased a Clip+.
Would you guys recommend that I get a FiiO 6 for the Clip IE80 combo or is that going to be unnecessary?
I bought the hifiman some months ago (was planning to get the IE80 later at that point) thinking it would be a really great quality player and even up until yesterday I was convinced I had something superb in my hands. I don't know about that now after reading so much negative information about it mainly on here but it doesn't matter. I'm not trying to favor anything here or be a snob. I already have the thing, if I was ripped off or not by having paid 150 bucks for it (used) I don't know but for me personally the sound is great, it's just the EQ is kind of weird if it's not set to completely neutral (everything 0). Forgive me my simple language on the topic. I'm learning constantly.
I've been using the Hifi with Sennheiser CX300II up until I got the IE80 and of course love the upgrade but I'm thinking there must be something better for maybe not that much price difference.
My Cowon i7 sounds very "dull" compared to the Hifi. That's just how I hear it personally. I love the clarity of the Hifi but the bass isn't that great. The Cowon has a beatiful bass output but I don't appreciate it as I used to do before I bought the 601 because it simply sounds ... not as clear, more distorted maybe. My vocabulary ends here not being a sound technician, just enthusiast but again, I'm learning.
WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR ME after reading my short story here (thanks for that)?
My budget is let's say 200 Dollars. I could also sell my 601 for realistically 100 bucks extra for the budget.
My i7 isn't worth anything, I'm surprised it runs perfectly still after so many years use and the battery still holds a very good charge (I treat it well, being a flashoholic I know about batteries at least, haha).

A Hifiman player is a terrible choice to begin with, not unless you enjoy your sound with some oddly frequency curve, like listening to Dream Theater while Rebecca Black sings at the background permanently. Either a Cowon or a Sansa is a far better choice and you don't need an amplifier at either players if you only intend to drive a IE80 with them. If you want to alter the sound like you used to in your HifiMan though, you can just use the EQ or Rockbox your sansa. It's better to have flexibility than a permanent problem no?
You write English very well, so why did you post this question in the wrong section? Your asking about an amp, not showing off your gear.

The IE80 is bassy with a fairly large soundstage. But lets be clear on something, the IE80s are not BA drivers. They are your typical dynamic type with plenty of bloom. What kinda sound signature are you looking for, a bright sound, a dark with non-fatiguing sparkle?
5 drivers hybrid design. 4 balanced armature drivers 2xhi 2xmid and 1xdynamic lows.
Such beautiful and impactful bass for in ears. I love my customs, my search for fun sounding in ear monitors has ended with these.

Coming Soon: Gavin Kaysen Opens Another Restaurant
Introducing: RC's BBQ at the MN State Fair
By: Jason DeRusha | Posted: 07/28/2014
Some brunches are light and elegant and a delightful start to a Sunday. Others are greasy and heavy and a way to sop up the good times you had on Saturday night. Is one version better than the other? Depends on what you're looking for and what you're expecting.
World Street Kitchen is the restaurant outpost of the very popular EatWSK food truck from Chef Sameh Wadi, who also owns Saffron. I love Sameh, I love his cooking, but I didn't really love brunch at World Street Kitchen.
I brought my wife, my in-laws, and my 6-year-old to WSK on Lyndale, and we ordered at the counter, as we do when we enjoy lunch or dinner at this fast-casual Uptown outpost.
I certainly didn't expect giant plates of cheesy hash browns from the chef who's known for his intricate spice interplay, but that's exactly what we got. The servings are huge. The flavors had moments of greatness on each dish, but the dominant taste of each dish was that of cheesy hash browns.
Take the Southside. It's a giant plate of cheesy hash browns topped with about a dozen glorious chunks of carmelized lamb belly. That belly was crispy and meaty and way better than chunks of regular bacon ($9 without eggs, $11.50 with two basted). The belly was awesome: did it need to be served on that giant platter of hash? Could there have been a vegetable mixed in or some spices or half the potatoes and a side of lettuce?
Boring Breakfast, as it is advertised, is $6 with 2 eggs and the cheesy covered hash browns. Definitely spend the $4 to add homemade mirqaz sausage, a spicy mixture of beef and lamb—I absolutely loved that sausage.
The mushroom/miso gravy on the biscuits and gravy dish had a wonderful flavor, complexity, and depth to it, but it completely overwhelmed the biscuit, which wasn't thick enough to give a counterpunch to the gravy ($8 without eggs, $10.50 with two eggs).
The Mexican Steak & Egg'wich was pretty tasty, and for $8.50 one of the better values on the brunch menu. Steak and avocado and fried egg and cheese—it easily could have fed two.
Chicken and waffles is the dish of 2014 - it's showing up everywhere, and the WSK version is worthy, though expensive. At $12 for a waffle with two strips of Moroccan-spiced chicken, with little plastic tubs of cumin honey (delicious cumin honey) and whipped butter, it just seems crazy to me.
The whole brunch cost about $80 (with one $7 Michelada and a couple other non-alcoholic brunch drinks). Is that too much? It's about $15 a person, and I think for a counter-service place that serves on paper plates with plastic forks and knives, it's too much money.
But let's be honest: this is hangover food. Super heavy, cheesy, overwhelming flavor. And maybe the neighborhood knows that and loves it. Virtually no one was in the restaurant when we showed up at 10:30am, but there was a line closer to noon (they also serve the regular menu during brunch).
Is this the kind of food I'd expect from Sameh Wadi, the incredibly talented chef who's a master with delicate, creative spices? Absolutely not. The main star is cheesy hash browns, which obscures some of the really smart and tasty things happening here.
But is this the kind of food from smart businessman Sameh Wadi, serving a young neighborhood where their Saturdays are a little more hard-core than mine? Maybe it is.

Gender: MaleRace or Ethnicity: WhiteOccupation: Author

Pťter EsterhŠzy, generally hailed as Hungary's greatest living writer, comes from an ancient, aristocratic Hungarian family. His father was stripped of his wealth under Communist rule, and forced to work as a parquet-floor layer and police informant. The younger EsterhŠzy studied mathematics and worked as a government statistician before achieving literary success. Frequently mentioned as a Pulitzer or Nobel candidate, he is best known beyond Hungary for his Harmonia Caelestis (Celestial Harmonies), a sprawling, kaleidoscopic climb through a fictionalized representation of his family tree.
His brother, MŠrton EsterhŠzy, is a well-known former soccer player, and their grandfather, Můric EsterhŠzy, was briefly Prime Minister of Hungary in 1917. Other noteworthy ancestors include Prince Nicolaus EsterhŠzy, the patron and beloved friend of composer Joseph Haydn, and Major Count Ferdinand Walsin-EsterhŠzy, the French traitor who prepared false evidence against Alfred Dreyfus.

Men's Soccer Alumni Game Ends in Draw
Sterling, Kan. – In a hard fought match at the Sterling College Soccer Stadium this afternoon, the SC Men's Soccer team played to a draw with the SC Soccer Alumni in a game that was well matched and fun to watch. Both teams would find the net in the game, playing to a 2-2 final.
The alumni were the first to score, taking a 1-0 lead into the half. In the second half, the Warriors started to take control of the match by wearing down the alumni in the Kansas heat. Cuyler Prichard would score the equalizer at one goal apiece, but shortly after, the alumni would take the lead again 2-1. With the game appearing to be over, SC stole the ball with 40 seconds left to play and added the game tying goal with 30 seconds left to play.
When the final horn sounded, all of the players on the field congratulated each other on the well played game, meeting at center for some fellowship and a group photo.
The Warriors' season will open up on August 27 in Edmond, Oklahoma at 5:00 pm with a match against Oklahoma Christian University.

Tonight, Jan. 27, The Bachelor went on the road to Seoul, South Korea. The 13 women were all very excited and screamed as soon as Chris Harrison told them where they were headed. He gave them an hour to pack, and off they went.
The women arrived at their hotel and got settled in before reading the first date card, which was for Chelsie, Cassandra, Elise, Danielle, Kat, and Nikki.
The next day, Juan Pablo met the ladies for the group date and joined 21, a very popular singing group in Korea. Everyone showed off their dancing abilities (or lack thereof) before 21 taught them their dance moves. Kat was pretty excited because she had been dancing since "before she could walk," but Nikki struggled, since she hates dancing. Then, 21 invited the ladies to perform on stage with them later that night, during their show.
The ladies changed and had their make-up and hair done, while Juan Pablo changed into a pair of bright red pants and a bulky black leather jacket. Everyone headed on stage at the mall and danced behind 21 – Kat got really into it to show off her dance skills, as expected.
After their K-Pop dancing excursion, Juan Pablo and the women headed off to the evening portion of the date. Juan Pablo and Kat sat down to chat first, and Nikki wasted no time in telling the other girls she felt Kat was fake and acted differently in front of the cameras. Meanwhile, Kat told Juan Pablo her dad was a severe alcoholic, and her parents divorced because of it. In their time alone on camera, many of the women started to talk about Nikki's negativity. Elise alluded to some girls not being there for the right reasons, and Juan Pablo assured her he was keeping his eyes open. Nikki admitted that she was out of her element during their dancing before telling Juan Pablo she was ready to become a mom and works around kids all the time. Juan Pablo pulled Nikki away and offered her the rose, which upset the rest of the ladies.
Back at the hotel, the one-on-one date card arrived for Sharleen. Juan Pablo picked her up for their date the next morning, and the two made their way through the market together before heading to a traditional tea house. They talked about Sharleen's career and degrees in music, as she gave him English lessons after she used words he didn't understand.
Later that night, Juan Pablo convinced Sharleen to sing for him – she was very hesitant and said she never sings this early in a relationship, but she sang for him, anyway. Over dinner, the two continued getting to know each other, and Juan Pablo couldn't believe how much they had in common. (What?) Juan Pablo really pried to find out how many children Sharleen wanted, and she never really answered the question. She explained she had always been career-focused and had once dated a guy with a four-year-old daughter, but she could never get over the fact that the child came first. (Before her). Juan Pablo either heard wrong or chose to ignore everything and offered Sharleen the rose anyway, thanking her for her honesty.
The remaining six ladies met Juan Pablo for a "crazy day in Korea" the next day. Their first stop was a dollhouse-like karaoke place, followed by a paddleboat ride out in the water. The group then went and got "fish pedicures," where they all removed their shoes and stuck their feet in water so tiny, little fish could eat the dead skin off their feet. Everyone tried octopus…except Clare, who said she didn't do weird food and caused a scene until Juan Pablo literally had to feed it to her.
During the evening portion of the date, Juan Pablo pulled Renee away first. Once again, Renee had to talk about kissing and asked how Camila would feel if she saw her kissing Juan Pablo. Juan Pablo suddenly wanted to step back and stop kissing women and didn't want to kiss anyone the whole night. Needless to say, Renee did not get her first kiss. Andi and Juan Pablo decided to get to know each other better by talking. Lauren also asked for a kiss while she and Juan Pablo awkwardly danced, but he shut her down, too, reminding her that he has a daughter and doesn't want her to see him kissing all these women. (Does she watch The Bachelor?) That left Lauren in tears, so Juan Pablo gave her a long hug. In her time alone with Juan Pablo, Clare claimed she threw up in her mouth while eating the octopus, but she "swallowed it back down." They also talked about not kissing in order to get to know each other better…which went well for about two minutes. Back with the rest of the group, Juan Pablo offered Andi the rose.
The Cocktail Party and Rose Ceremony were held at a palace. Juan Pablo quickly took Kelly aside, and the women with roses agreed to be respectful of those without roses, to allow them to have time with Juan Pablo. That also lasted all of two minutes, and Nikki sauntered off and interrupted Clare's time with Juan Pablo. Amidst Juan Pablo's ramblings was a comment about how it was a good group and he hadn't heard about any problems in the house. Nikki immediately assumed that meant Clare had said something about her to Juan Pablo. Conveniently, Nikki and Clare sandwiched Kelly in between them on a bench, and Kelly told Clare she felt awkward because of what Nikki had told her. Clare said she hadn't said anything, but Nikki acted one way with the girls and another way with Juan Pablo.
Chris Harrison stepped in to announce it was time for the Rose Ceremony. Nikki, Sharleen, and Andi already had roses from their dates. Juan Pablo then offered roses to Renee, Chelsie, Kelly, Danielle, Cassandra, Alli, Clare and Kat. That meant it was a very long, 12-hour plane ride home for Elise and Lauren, who did not receive roses.

Canuck atmosphere
The Whyte Avenue strip is a lot like many of the other trendy avenues across Canada; it's filled with a myriad of dance bars that turn the music past the breaking point or a lot of pubs that brim with British charm. Hudsons, which has already enjoyed success on Edmonton's south side, brings a fresh approach to the Avenue, with a pub dedicated to all things Canadian, not British. Instead of bangers and mash, you'll find a pub menu filled with some uniquely Canadian items, including Mama Hudsons meatloaf.
Wood finish
The new Strathcona location is filled with wood accents; there are open spaces that are great for people watching or some enclosed nooks if you'd prefer quiet conversation. There's also a full patio, where Edmontonians can enjoy those few-and-far-between great summer days with a pint and some grub. Yes, it's a mature alternative to the Whyte environment.

The All New HTC One sees its full specs leaked
Earlier today a leaked brochure from an Australian carrier told us how much the all new HTC One will cost, as well as what the twin-sensor camera will be marketed as (it's HTC Duo, by the way). We also found out that it will sport a 5-inch 1080p Full HD touchscreen, something that has been leaked many times so far.
Yet despite the all new HTC One having had at least a leak or two each week for a few months now (and more like one or two per day this year), we've never seen a full list of its specs coming from a reasonably plausible source. Until this moment, that is.
GSM Arena got sent a sales guide for the all new HTC One, accompanied by said full spec list. Finally! So, without further ado, here's what you should expect in terms of hardware features from this handset.
It will have a 5-inch 1080p Full HD touchscreen, an UltraPixel HTC Duo rear camera with dual-LED flash and 1080p Full HD video recording, a 5 MP front camera with improved selfie support, a 2.3 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor (MSM8974AB), 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage (of which 10 GB will be user-accessible), microSD card support, a nano SIM, barometer, IR blaster, 150 Mbps 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and a 2,600 mAh battery. It's expected to run Android 4.4 KitKat with HTC Sense 6 on top. Its dimensios are going to be 146.36×70.6×9.35 mm, and it will weigh 160 grams.
The exact resolution of the camera is still unknown, but all of its details have been leaked and judging from them it could very well be a 4 MP unit just like the one in the original One. It will sport 1/3.0″ size, f/2.0 aperture, and 2µm pixel size. If this is the case, it's a bit funny that the all new One will have a higher-res front camera than its rear camera – not something often seen in the mobile world, if ever. Speaking of the front camera, this will be adept at shooting selfies, with some dedicated stuff for those.
The processor is identical to the one in the Sony Xperia Z2, but it falls short compared to what's in the Samsung Galaxy S5, which seems to have secured an exclusive supply of the highest clocked part ever made by Qualcomm. The battery capacity is lower than what there is in both of the all new One's main competitors, which isn't really different from what happened last year. Oh, and the new One is also going to be thicker than the Galaxy S5 and Xperia Z2. On the other hand, it's the only one of the three to sport an all-metal design, so there's that.
HTC should really have announced this thing already. At the rate the leaks are going, we'll be very bored with the all new One even before it gets official.
