We had a very pleasant stay in this nice apartment. Also the location is really good, close to the waterfront but there are also nice restaurants and a super market in walking distance on the main road.
The location was fantastic. In the middle of everything.

How to Create a Butterfly Garden
Learn how to make your yard a destination for these beauties.
Provided By: National Gardening Association
Materials Needed
- butterfly-attracting flowers
- large, flat rock
- water source
- one or more trees or shrubs
Step 1: Select Site for Butterfly Garden
Choose a site that has some sun but is also sheltered from wind. Include a few trees and shrubs for roosting at night and for cooling off on the hottest days.
Step 2: Remember the Rocks
Add one or two large, flat rocks in the sun so butterflies have a place to bask when mornings are cool.
Step 3: Provide Water
Since butterflies cannot drink from open water, provide them with a "puddle" by filling a container, such as an old birdbath, with wet sand where they can perch and drink safely.
Step 4: Add the Plants
Add nectar plants, including aster, black-eyed Susan, butterfly bush, butterfly weed, cosmos, ironweed, Joe-Pye weed, phlox, purple coneflower, sedum, and zinnia. Include food plants for the larvae, including dill, fennel, milkweed, and parsley. Different butterfly larvae feed on different plants, so research the butterflies native to your region to determine what to plant. Remember: Butterfly larvae are caterpillars. Learn to distinguish the larvae of butterflies you're trying to attract from pest species. Minimize the use of pesticides to protect butterfly larvae and adults.

Two of Vancouver Island's Best Restaurants are in Sooke
by Vancouver Magazine
Best of Vancouver Island: Sooke Harbour House
Sooke Harbour House
Sooke Harbour House (Gold) offers tours of its wine cellar before the dinner hour. And chef Edward Tuson, ais one judge, "cooks as if channelling from another plane." Polished service complements creative and thoughtful meals.
Sobo (Silver) features Southwestern flavours and West Coast ingredients corralled by chef Lisa Ahier. Try the smoky and wintry seafood chowder. Ahier's husband Artie works the front of the house with "smooth expertise and superb wine knowledge."
The Pointe at the Wickaninnish Inn (Bronze) is an elevated room supplied with elevated cuisine. "The cooking is accomplished," says a judge, "from crisp sweetbreads with a foie gras torchon to simple steamed crabs."
The Wesley Street (Honourable Mention) is comfortable but confident: "Refreshingly free of that West Coast anonymity where everyone seems to have the same menu."
At out-of-the-way gem Marcus' Wharfside (Honourable Mention) "the cooking is consistent, restrained, cleverly blending Mediterranean flavours with local touches, Mexican caliente, and German comfort foods. The foragers drop by with trumpet mushrooms, the crab is off the dock, and much is gleaned from Marcus and his wife Tatum's garden on the grounds."

Despite all of the salary cap issues and lack of draft picks, the New Orleans Saints made plenty of moves in free agency to acquire players and made two significant trades in the NFL draft. The Saints made so many moves in free agency that General Manager Mickey Loomis even surprised himself.
Here's a snapshot of some moves the Saints made this offseason:
-- Signed cornerback Keenan Lewis, linebacker Victor Butler and tight end Benjamin Watson
-- Traded running back Chris Ivory
-- Drafted players like safety Kenny Vaccaro, tackle Terron Armstead and defensive tackle John Jenkins
-- Moved on from tackle Jermon Bushrod and backup quarterback Chase Daniel
-- Slashed salary from defensive end Will Smith and linebacker Jonathan Vilma
There are certainly other moves, but which one move did you like best from the Saints this offseason. Leave your thoughts in the comments section below.

Alejandro Cegarra, Associated Press
CARACAS, Venezuela — It is hard to find toilet paper or flour in oil-rich Venezuela these days and the country is plagued by some of the highest inflation, murder and kidnapping rates in the world. Clashes between protesters and security forces loyal to the president have left 16 dead, and a telegenic opposition leader has been thrown in jail.
But don't expect a Ukraine-style street revolution anytime soon in this South American nation, where the frequently outmaneuvered opposition hasn't united behind a single strategy or managed to broaden its appeal beyond the largely middle-class, educated followers it's had on its side all along. The man they are up against, President Nicolas Maduro, has a near-complete grip on the military, broadcast media and institutions from congress to the judiciary after 15 years of socialist rule.
That could change if the protests continue and unrest gets further out of hand. But for many Venezuelans, the opposition's two highest profile leaders, former presidential candidate Henrique Capriles and the jailed Leopoldo Lopez, are still viewed as part of an elite detached from the working class life.
For years the opposition has insisted the government is illegitimate rather than succeeding in building bridges across class lines, reinforcing perceptions that it hasn't evolved since it backed a failed 2002 coup against then President Hugo Chavez.
"The opposition is always convinced that it's a majority and therefore it thinks that the government wins elections by fraud," said David Smilde, a senior fellow at the Washington Office on Latin America who spends part of the year conducting research in Caracas. But "it's a government that has considerable support."
Maduro's party handily won municipal elections in December that were seen as a referendum on his first year in office. An economic decline has accelerated since then, but he continues to funnel government resources into poor neighborhoods. While people there are suffering from the country's economic woes, they still feel little connection with the protesters they watch on television burning trash and setting up barricades in leafy neighborhoods that they could never aspire to live in.
On top of that, the two men leading the opposition haven't been able to agree on a strategy.
Capriles has come closest to expanding the base by reaching out to Chavez backers, promising to protect the revolution's social gains. That brought him within 225,000 votes of winning the election in April to choose a successor to the late Chavez.
But he's been pushed from that path by Lopez, leader of a smaller opposition party, who seized on this month's student-led protests to call even more people into the streets, a move that landed him in jail charged with arson and incitement. That has forced Capriles and other opposition figures to rally behind him.
Capriles conceded the demonstrations may have strengthened Maduro's hand in the short term by distracting Venezuelans from their daily frustrations and giving him a convenient scapegoat on which to blame a coming economic crisis caused by heavy-handed government policies.
Indeed, Maduro has trained state-run television cameras on the barricades of trash and furniture erected by the opposition.
"Now they want to blame me if there are shortages, but they are the ones who don't let through the trucks with rice, grains, milk and flour," Maduro said at a rally on Tuesday with employees of the state telephone company. "The rest of the country is like you all, working, studying."
To be sure, there are some signs that unrest is spreading to at least a few working-class neighborhoods around the country, even if most have remained calm despite the protests in tonier districts.

I am not sure if I am interpreting the question correctly per se. I drew a picture in which Clark was diagonal from Diana. So, that means Chris could either face Clark OR Diana.
If Chris is facing Clark, then Chris tees off first and Diana tees off second. If Chris is facing Diana, then Doug tees off first and Diana tees off second.
Either way, Diana tees off second.
Did I interpret the question right? The part about "Chris is facing the person whose name begins with the same letter as that of the name of the person who will tee off first" sort of tripped me up a bit. I used this piece of info to determine that Diana tees off second and it is impossible to know who tees off first.

Lang Son Travel guide
Lang Son : Michelin's recommendations
Lang Son is the perfect base for an excursion to China (visa available in Hanoi) or a trip to the mountains of northeastern Vietnam. Partially destroyed during the conflict between China and Vietnam in 1979, the town has nonetheless retained some colonial buildings and an interesting pagoda (Pagoda of the Immortals). It's also worth taking some time to browse the town's markets (Cho Ky Lua or Cho Dong Kinh), with their attractive stalls of Chinese knick-knacks.

Preclinical Research Services, part of Wake Forest Innovations, is a specialty preclinical CRO made up of leaders in preclinical therapeutic and surgical services, and includes Wake Forest's Center for Comparative Medicine Research, an internationally recognized leader in the translation of basic to clinical science.
Committed to our partners' short and long-term successes, our preclinical CRO's state-of-the-art multi-technology research and laboratory facilities offer industry the opportunity to capitalize on advanced models developed by more than 100 researchers over 50 years.
In particular, scientists at our preclinical CRO have developed specialized expertise applying nonhuman primates to a wide range of advanced models. The many similarities between humans and nonhuman primates have made these models of choice for interventions focused on health indices including those relating to the skeletal, cardiovascular and metabolic systems, women's health, stress and disease, diet and disease, and cognition and physical function as it pertains to aging.
Advanced Models Predict Human Response
Our preclinical models offer accelerated compound assessment and safety information predictive of human trials during efficacy examination. For example, in the area of women's health, where the mechanisms behind the development of conditions such as heart disease and infertility are different than in men, we have developed surgical nonhuman primate models for atherosclerosis and cardiac studies, hormonal regulation of menstruation, comprehensive assessments of reproductive health, bone health during and after menopause, and anxiety and depression studies.
Areas of Expertise
As a specialty preclinical CRO, we focus on solving the most complex problems in multiple areas and fields including:
- Cardiovascular
- Tumor Biology
- Aging
- Immune Competence
- Vaccine Innovation
- Women's Health
- Orthopaedic Intervention
- Addiction and Substance Abuse
- Diabetes and Obesity

Holly W. Samuelson, DDes, AIA, LEED
Holly W. Samuelson is an Assistant Professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD). She teaches architectural technology courses, specializing in the energy and environmental performance of buildings.
Dr. Samuelson's research focuses on energy conservation, computerized simulation, occupant behavior, and the future of building practice as it relates to these topics. Among her authored and coauthored papers, she has contributed articles to Building and Environment, the Journal of Building Performance Simulation, and Ecological Urbanism (Lars Müller, 2010). She has presented at multiple conferences, including GreenBuild and the International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA) conference, where her work was awarded the ARUP best paper prize.
Samuelson has been awarded research grants from the American Society of Heating Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), International Facilities Management Association, the Harvard Real Estate Academic Initiative, and others. Her dissertation, entitled "Toward Buildings That Work: Reusing Design-Phase Energy Models for Operations-Phase Improvements" focused on the reuse of a design-phase tool to narrow the search for malfunctioning buildings and building systems. This research overcomes both technical and human challenges of obtaining more value from the industry's growing supply of energy models.
Samuelson's courses include Environmental Systems in Architecture (a required core lecture class), Energy Simulation for Design, Daylighting, and Environment, Economics, & Enterprise. She consults in the core architecture studios, serves regularly on design juries, and teaches courses in the Harvard Graduate School of Design/Harvard Business School executive education programs. She has taught professional workshops on green building rating systems nationally and internationally.
Prior to joining Harvard, Samuelson practiced full-time as an architect (2000-2007) and sustainable design consultant (2007-2008). As a licensed architect, her collaborative work has been recognized for design and ecological excellence by the Boston Society of Architects, Journal of the Urban Land Institute, and The Boston Globe. Samuelson serves on the scientific advisory committee for the ASHRAE/IBPSA Conference (2014) and served as the founding president of IBPSA-Boston (2011-2013).
Samuelson earned a Doctor of Design and Master in Design Studies with distinction from Harvard Graduate School of Design where she was awarded the Gerald M. McCue medal. She earned a Bachelor of Architecture with honors from Carnegie Mellon where she was awarded the American Institute of Architects Henry Adams Gold Medal.

'American Idol' Top 11 performances - Billboard Hot 100 Night Gallery
Relive the best (Crystal) and worst (Tim, Paige) of Tuesday's Billboard Hot 100 Night performances
Next gallery »10 Biggest Stars at the 2010 Kid's Choice Awards
« Previous gallery'American Idol' Top 12 performances - Rolling Stones Night Gallery
Casey James of 'American Idol' performs on Billboard Hot 100 Night
Singer: Casey James
Song: "Power of Love"
Monkeys As Critics' Take: Miley Cyrus has no idea of who Huey Lewis is, nor has she ever heard of the News. So many people in the "Idol" demo aren't going to be aware of how how karaoke this performance is. Casey, accused of being a bit too restricted in previous weeks begins a foot or two away from the mic and starts with a guitar solo. He makes his way to the mic and from there, this is the exact same Casey we've seen for weeks. He closes with a second little guitar solo. Straight-forward, moderate quality karaoke.
Randy, Ellen, Kara and Simon Say: You know what? Randy thinks Casey may be the best guitar player they'd have on the show. Randy wasn't a fan of the song choice, but he worked it out. Ellen calls it the night's best vocal. Kara says Casey is on another level, saying he could put together 10 songs and have a hit album. Sure, Kara. If the next one was "New Drug." And then maybe "If This Is It." Simon is incredulous. He says that it was an identical cover to the original. Kara shakes her head and says it isn't. Ummm... Kara? Earth to Kara. There's no reaching Kara who goes on blathering about how Casey made the song current. No. He didn't. "Power of Love" is a fantastic song, but that's just what "Power of Love" *sounds* like. Or maybe Kara's just too young to remember "Back to the Future"? No. That sure can't be it. She's just a smitten kitten again.

St. Paul's Episcopal Church destroyed by fire
HEBRON, Md. - A mighty church that has been around longer than America's freedom is no more. Fire destroyed the St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Hebron on the Eastern Shore Tuesday.
This house of worship, built in 1773, had many original items from the 1700s and early 1800s still in use. A few items in the church and some burnt hymnals are just some of the items saved from the fire. Pat Ewell was in church Sunday and may have been one of the last to use one of the hymnals.
"I think of all the people who attended this church and are not with us anymore. There must have been tears in heaven," Ewell said.
Tom Lovett shed some tears as he watched the church that he was in charge of maintaining go up in flames. Lovett was very aware of the history of this 240-year-old building.
"You think of the people who built the church, the Indians, the Amish, the Quakers, the slaves. All were a part of this church," Lovett said.

I travel and shlep my luggage alone all over the world. The days of porters, red caps, bellhops and even readily available gallant gentlemen are just about gone forever. You need the right luggage products to be able to take care of your things all by yourself. Just last night, I can tell you, in traveling from Phoenix from Baltimore . . . if I didn't have eBags products with me, I would have been a goner! I was very glad to be hosted to experience it.
eBags products are precisely engineered to not burst open and be as light as can be, with all the practical pockets one could ask for.
The Mother Lode TLS Weekend Convertible is a backpack meets the extra space of carry-ons meets a laptop case. It comes in a slew of unique, attractive colors, so abject strangers shouldn't be grabbing your bag from the overhead bin.
The backpack aspect includes lots of removable straps for support at different body points . . . so you won't end up a hunchback, even when you're a heavy packer.
The laptop sling is perfect for lots of different laptop sizes . . . now, here's a good travel tip: the sling will keep the machine all safe and sound, but your power adapter will go in a different section. If you get messed with by TSA -- like I did! -- make sure they aren't flinging your important cords all around, never to be seen again. Well, at least try. They do a lot of their work out of sight and things happen to us experts, too! Maybe tie a bright ribbon around them, so you can see them if they fall to the ground.
The shelves, pockets and YKK zippers give you the same quality as any great luggage.
If you wanna be super organized, as if you were traveling with steamer trunks and your own cabin maid, get yourself some colorful slim packing cubes! It will make your Convertible pack that much more luxuriously. Plus, the cubes have little handles! They can be a makeshift swim, laundry or even extra bag if your shopping gets super exciting. Here's another tip: I used the slim packing cube as an extra checked bag; curbside checkers were kind enough to put a "fragile" sticker on it. Win-win, beautiful.

Long Jump a Short Cut to Successful Belmont Getaway
The ultimate equipment change angle might be first time gelding but bar shoes off isn't bad either. Couple that with excellent performance figures on a horse's best effort and you get a fairly strong rebound play. That's what we're looking for with Long Jump (3-1) today.
A repeat of his too late rally effort over the track two starts back, or his maiden win going long last year at Churchill Downs, will get this job done. Record winning Belmont spring leading rider Ramon Dominguez figures to add to his totals in the spot. Trainer Christophe Clement is having a career meet and is coming fresh off yesterday's Oaks score.
The horses to beat are Banking Holiday (2-1), coming off a monster score in a $14,000 claimer off the Michael Maker claim.
Taum Sauk (6-1), who suffered through a tough trip off he layup in his Belmont debut and now returns fro Dan Peitz, who's a profitable 22 percent in second-off-the-layup scenarios. 'Saul's' pedigree indicates today's stretchout might be what's needed for a peak effort.
Taking Long Jump to win at 5-2 or greater and keying him in exactas with Banking Holiday and Taum Sauk.
Running Totals: (468) 139-97-64 Total Dollar Return: $969.70 [win selections only] {Saturday's Results not included}

As several FEMA bloggers have mentioned before, training is vital to being prepared before a disaster strikes. For those in the emergency response community (first responders, emergency managers, government officials), training is even more important.
At FEMA's Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP), we provide responders with knowledge to prevent, protect, respond to, and recover from chemical, biological, explosive, radiological, or other hazardous materials incidents. I wanted to highlight one such course from last week – the Hospital Emergency Response Training for Mass Casualty Incidents.
This training places emergency response providers in a realistic mass-casualty training scenario after a week of classes. The training takes place at the CDP's Noble Training Facility, which is a converted Army hospital now dedicated solely to training hospital and healthcare workers in all-hazards response, including terrorism and manmade disasters. Below are some photos of the students in action, as they put their knowledge to the test in a simulated disaster scenario.
As you take a look at the photos, think about the most relevant preparedness training experiences you've had. Then, leave a comment and share what made the training so applicable to real world situations.
- Denis
Training at the CDP campus is federally funded at no cost to state, local, and tribal emergency response professionals or their agency. For more information on the CDP's specialized programs and courses, please visit their web site at: http://cdp.dhs.gov.

Therefore, today we have decided to try and create a high quality Core 2 Duo system using parts from well-known brand names, for under $1000. This time we are going to build the entire system from the ground up for under $1000 including a 19� LCD monitor. Given this system includes a Core 2 Duo E6300 processor, 1GB of DDR2 memory, a DVD recordable drive, Radeon X1950 Pro, 19" DVI 8ms LCD, 400GB SATAII HDD, ASUS motherboard along with case, keyboard and mouse, we think it is a pretty good buy.

Let's face it-we all want to be active, but getting out the door is easier said than done. Here are some tips for keeping your body moving and in the process keeping you healthy, happy and on track.
1. Make sure your exercise plan has a purpose (i.e., to run a 5k, participate in "Friday Night Lights", Compete in The Reebok CrossFit Open, or hike an 8,000-foot peak). Once you have a detailed training plan to follow you'll be much more likely to follow through with a regular routine, and your fitness will improve much more rapidly.
2. Talk to people! Telling friends, family and coworkers about your goal to follow through on a plan of action will hold you accountable to it. Without going overboard, mention your goal in conversation at least once a day to stay focused and keep your training on track.
3. Keep a training log. Whether you follow through with your complete workout that day or not, record your activity for the day as well as how you felt while doing it in your customized Success Journal. Record how much sleep you had the night before, how did you fuel? What you ate prior, etc. This is a great way to track outside factors that may be affecting your performance, and it will also help you to feel like you've really accomplished something that day
4. Make an early investment. If your goal involves something that requires an entry fee or registration, sign up early! Signing that check and choosing your T-shirt size is like signing a written agreement to follow through. When training gets tough you can tell yourself, "The check has cleared—there's no backing out now!"
5. Find training partners. Having others to train and exercise with will not only help hold you accountable to your plan, it will make following the plan much more fun. Group trips to the coffee house or your favorite breakfast restaurant post-workout are a great motivator to get you up early on those Saturday mornings.
6. View this as YOUR time. Avoid looking at workouts as another item to check off the list, and instead view them as time that's reserved just for you. Also, look at your active time as something that makes the rest of your day run more efficiently and that keeps you clear-headed.
7. Make an appointment with a Coach. Simply being active is only one part of the equation. By making healthy changes with regard to nutrition as well as fitness you'll be more likely to adopt "whole" lifestyle changes that will lead to ultimate success. Participate in The Whole Life Challenge, be held accountable.
8. Involve the family. Family time is scarce to begin with, and when you add exercise into the mix it can sometimes be a limiting factor. Make a "date" with your spouse to go for a brisk walk once or twice a week, do a run or go hiking or swimming. One idea is to arrange a weekly Thursday night date night that begins with some type of sport (or Lab After Dark) and ends with dinner out. And, if you have kids, involve them in other ways. Nice long walks with your kids gives you quality time (i.e., time outside shuttling them to their practices and friends' houses) to relate to each other, and bike rides around your neighborhood are fun for the whole family.
9. Commit to learning. Stay informed and motivated, at least twice a year buy a book that will teach you more about the scientific aspects of being healthy and fit. Knowing the "whys" behind what you're doing will help you to make lasting changes that will enhance your health.
10. Reward yourself! While fitness is a huge reward in itself, there's nothing wrong with giving yourself an added incentive for finishing that 10k, conquering a new mountain, Setting a PR on your Clean & Jerk or finally learning to surf. Whether it's indulging in your favorite treat or allowing yourself to buy that new pair of shoes you've been eyeing, little rewards work!

This week on "The Walking Dead" season 4 episode 14 fans should expect to see one of the biggest episodes of this show. On March 14, Wet Paint shared a few spoilers about this episode and how it will be one that everyone is talking about after it airs.
This episode will be called "The Grove." It will follow Carol, Tyreese, and show fans how Baby Judith is doing after they all escaped the prison. It has been teased by Robert Kirkman that this episode is one you don't want to miss and people will be talking about it after it is over.
It doesn't sound like The Hunters are showing up yet, but it is going to be an episode you don't want to miss. It appears that something bad could happen to one of the kids this week and that is obviously something everyone would be talking about if it happened. If spoilers are right, two children won't make it through the episode but Baby Judith will still be safe and sound. All signs do lead them to Terminus and you can read more at this link.
New episodes of "The Walking Dead" air on Sunday nights on AMC.

Sophomore guard Danielle Blagg scored 14 points on the strength of a 6-for-13 performance from the field during Tulane's 57-52 C-USA win at UAB.
Feb. 21, 2013
Final Stats | Quotes | Postgame Video Interview With Coach Stockton
Tulane/UAB Game Book In PDF Format
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Sophomore guard Danielle Blagg scored a team-high 14 points and sophomore forward Tiffany Dale fell a bucket and a rebound shy of a double-double as the Tulane University women's basketball team upended Conference USA foe UAB, 57-52, on Thursday evening in Bartow Arena.
After hitting just 30.6 percent of their first-half field goals (11-of-36), the Green Wave connected at a .500 clip (12-24) while holding the Blazers to an 8-of-31 performance (.258) after halftime. With the win, Tulane improves to 19-6 on the year and 8-4 in league play. UAB, meanwhile, falls to 15-10 overall and 6-6 in conference action.
"In the first half, we took good shots and they didn't go in," Tulane head coach Lisa Stockton said. "We ended up with 18 offensive rebounds, but we had 14 by halftime. That was really keeping us in the game. We came out and shot so much better in the second half. We did a much better job in the second half of taking good shots and creating shots."
Tulane turned a one-point halftime deficit into a 10-point lead midway through the second half, and appeared to have the game in the bag as the Green Wave led by nine at 55-46 with 35.8 seconds left to play.
UAB, however, got back-to-back 3-pointers by Ashley Grimes to make it a one-possession game with 18.2 on the clock. The Blazers had a chance to tie the game later, but Grimes' attempt from beyond the arc was short of the rim, senior wing Janique Kautsky secured the rebound and was fouled, and hit a pair of free throws to account for the final score.
Blagg was the lone Tulane player to finish in double figures while Dale, senior guard Tyria Snow and redshirt-freshman forward Whitney Bibbins scored eight points apiece. Dale paced the Green Wave with nine rebounds, three steals and a pair of blocked shots, and senior guard Olivia Grayson handed out a team-best six assists.
The Green Wave held a 48-33 rebound advantage and turned 18 offensive boards into as many second-chance points. Tulane also had a 32-14 edge in points in the paint, turned 16 UAB turnovers into 17 points and had six fast-break points to the home team's two. In addition, the Wave's reserves outscored their counterparts from UAB, 24-16 to mark the 23rd time among 25 games to date that Tulane held an advantage in points off the bench.
"The thing that I wasn't sure if we were going to be able to do was we got some steals," Stockton said. "We actually had more steals than they did tonight, which was a nice thing, and we didn't turn the ball over. The fear is that when you turn the ball over against a team like this, they're going to score off of that. We didn't do that and that was an important stat for us."
UAB scored the game's opening points on a pair of Amber Jones free throws and the Blazers led by as many as five in the opening stanza at 12-7 with 12:06 to play before the break. Tulane scored six straight to take a 13-12 lead 3:31 later and went ahead by four at 22-18. The Blazers, however, outscored the Green Wave 7-2 the rest of the half to go into the locker room on top, 25-24.
Tulane opened the second half with a 10-2 run - including back-to-back 3-pointers by Blagg - to take a 34-27 advantage just over four minutes into the frame. The Green Wave's lead swelled to as many as 10 at 44-34 with 10:23 to go and again at 46-36 just under two minutes later before UAB cut the deficit to five on a Grimes 3-pointer to make it 49-44 at the 4:33 mark. Tulane answered with a layup by sophomore forward Adesuwa Ebomwonyi and a pair of free throws by both Grayson and Snow to set up the Blazers' last-minute comeback attempt.
Grimes led all players with 18 points and Kelsie Weynand had 12 off the bench courtesy of four 3-pointers. Karisma Chapman fell point shy of a double-double with nine points and game-high 13 rebounds. Khalilah Watson led UAB with six assists, and Jones had a team-best three steals.
The Green Wave return to action on Sunday, Feb. 24, when they play host to Tulsa at 2 p.m. in Devlin Fieldhouse. For tickets to that game, as well as future Green Wave events, contact the Tulane Athletics Ticket Office. The Ticket Office is located on the first floor of the Wilson Center on Ben Weiner Drive, and tickets can be purchased in person, over the phone at 504-861-WAVE (9283) or via the Internet at www.TulaneGreenWave.com.

I observe lots of bubbles on the noodle surface after frying. What causes this and how can I control it?
Deep frying noodles is likely to create bubbles, depending on exactly how the dough was formed; this is normal and expected. You see this on almost all battered fried foods.
The actual mechanism is that the heat of the oil partially sets the starches on the surface of the noodle fairly quickly, creating an a barrier to the further escape of water or steam. As the water under the surface converts to steam from the heat of frying, it expands dramatically (about 1,700 times the volume of the water), but has no where to go. The pressure created from the steam pushes out the surface noodle, creating a bubble.
As the frying continues, the starches completely set, making the bubble surface crispy and brittle.
I don't think there is a simple method to control this process. You could try frying at a slightly lower temperature, which would slow the process down, and perhaps allow more steam to escape rather than create bubbles, but I haven't tried this, and am not confident that it would work.

How do I tell my mom that I dont want her in the delivery room when my son is born?
My husband is going to be on deployment when our son is born and my mom wants to be in the room when he is born. At first I didn?t think I had much say in the matter but as the time gets closer the more uncomfortable I am with it. She tends to stress me out on a normal day let alone during labor? I don?t mind if my family is in the room during labor but when the actual pushing starts I want it to only be me and my coach. This is the first grandbaby and I know my mom is going to be upset with my decision especially when I tell her that my coach is my best friend and not her. How do I break the news to her without hurting her feelings and without looking like a selfish brat?

i agree if it is you are feelings that way then you need to sit down and tell her your feelings i might hurt her feelings but you have to be honest so that at the end you guys both will be ok... and she has no choice but to love you...lolno buut seriously be honest sweetie ok thing is going to be ok...posted 04/01/2011 by ariel hodge
Hi there... I've been through this situation before. No matter how you break it to her, her feelings will be hurt. Most likely, the fact that you can do this on your own WITHOUT her is what will hurt her. But, this is your decision and you aren't doing ANYTHING wrong by telling her you don't want her there. This is a special , PRIVATE moment created by you and your husband. If your hubby was home, she wouldn't be in there right?? Just because he's not here, doesn't make it any different. If you like and trust your doctor, ask him to be the bad guy. I told mine of my concerns and he said that he would take care of it. I ended up having an emergency c-section, so no one was allowed in anyways, but it helps when you have someone to back you up and be on your side. In the end, it's your delivery room, your choice. And, once she see's the baby, she'll most likely forget her hurt feelings!! =) Good luck!posted 12/18/2007 by Stingray623

Amarillo police arrested a man on several charges after a weekend fight at Lakeview Apartments, authorities said.
Terry Willis, 48, of Amarillo, was booked into Potter County Detention Center on Saturday on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, evading arrest with previous conviction and possession of marijuana, police said.
At 11:09 p.m. Saturday, officers responded to a report of a fight involving several people, one of them armed, at 900 Charlotte St., police said.
Upon arrival, an officer found Willis holding a handgun, stepped out of his vehicle and ordered Willis to drop the weapon, police said.
Willis dropped the gun and fled, police said. Officers pursued the man on foot across a parking lot until he stopped and was taken into custody, police said.
Another man, who had cuts and swelling on his face and head and an injured arm, told police the man in custody had assaulted him, pointed an "old, antique" handgun at him and threatened to kill him, police said.
The man told officers that before the incident he was giving the suspect and three other people a ride back to the apartments from a barbecue, police said. One or more people got into a fight with the victim and when they got out of the car at the apartments, Willis and another man began hitting the victim, police said.
The victim was treated by paramedics at the scene, police said, but declined to be taken to the hospital.
Officers later identified what Willis had dropped as an antique pistol replica, rather than a functioning firearm, police said.
No other suspects were located at the scene, and there have been no other arrests, police said.

You're heading out to a mutual friends party in Mays Landing. It's a lavish affair fit for your finest frock! You put your little black dress on, dangling gold earrings, and ridiculously cool boots. You look hot!
You turn to your significant other for the inevitable compliment and...
Your temperature slowly rises; you feel your perfectly placed makeup start to streak from the heat of your red face. Is he blind? Can he not see how incredibly dazzling you look? If you strutted your stuff through Borgata right now head's would turn in a snapping motion to look your way. How can he have zero reaction to your vision of beauty?
He leaves you no choice but to come out and ask the question. "Well, how do I look?"
Hesitation... Deep breathe... Fake, cheesy smile... "Good."
Arghhhhhhhhhh!!!! Now you know something is wrong! Either he is delusional or you've miscalculated your gorgeousness. There's only one way to know for sure.... Call in the big guns! Your BFF!!
The moment you enter the party you head over to where she is. You come right out with it. "Do you like this outfit?"
Her response follows quickly and easily. "It's okay, not my favorite on you though. It doesn't flatter your figure very much." BOOM! Quick sting and it's over. You stagger back ever so slightly and then steady yourself. You hadn't realized that this dress was a miss. You were so certain it was your boyfriend that was!
Why couldn't he have simply said what your BFF just plainly stated? You never would have worn this dud of an outfit tonight if he'd just been honest! Sure the truth hurts at first, but it's a quick recovery and an easy fix! How could he not know that you'd rather hear the truth than show up at this party looking less than fabulous?
The moral of the story: Don't ask your significant other for an honest opinion of something you really don't want the answer to, ask your BFF instead.

According to Comic Book Resources on Monday, casts from "X-Men: Days of Future Past" joined together to talk about the kinds of experiences they felt when working together on the Bryan Singer film. Screen writer Simon Kinberg as well as producers Hutch Parker and Lauren Shuler-Donner had also joined up with their cohorts at the premiere in New York.
The film takes place in a dystopian future and by that time both mutant and human-kind are pretty much doomed as advanced Sentinel robots of the future wipe out pretty much all life. There are very few hearty mutants left that had survived up until this point and now they've reached a decision that the only way to conquer the Sentinels is by taking care of them in the past.
As seen from some of the trailers, this is a serious film and the actors and staff reflect what they had gone through to create an intense film. Hugh Jackman, plays the mutant that bridges the gap between both eras, discussed the bonding he had enjoyed with the rest of the group since the 2000's and he attested to it being such a grand feeling to have experienced a journey since his early days of the Wolverine.
"I'm probably uniquely qualified to say, from working with everyone, that being on the set throughout the whole thing was a joy".
Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy, the younger versions of Magneto and Professor Charles Xavier, joined the ensemble in the interview to discuss their experiences. Apparently, they all had a bet going on that entailed who would work with what elder version of themselves in the movie. Turns out, Fassbender lost the bet and McAvoy discussed working face-to-face with Patrick Stewart. The variant talked about how was such a fan of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" for seven years as well as the classic "Dune" film Stewart starred in.
"I've been a fan of Patrick for [many] years," said McAvoy of his fellow professor. "I watched him for seven years in 'Star Trek' and way back to 'Dune.' So getting to come and do my version of a character that he's been in charge of for fourteen years, and at his face, [it] was quite nerve-wracking".
Stewart said he wouldn't have done that scene with McAvoy any other way that would be representative of the conditions set in place for the story. In fact, Stewart mentioned that if they just had gotten together for drinks in a casual venue, it would have been a much different outcome, but wouldn't represent the graveness of the matter.
Fassbender's only experience with having met Ian McKellan was at the San Diego Comic Con and recently there had been posted a brief video profile of Magneto and his mutant abilities. Other character profiles had made their way online and will help delve into the brief ensemble of mutant powers.
"X-Men: Days of Future Past" opens in theaters May 23.

5.20.12 - Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon Tops 20,000 Participants for First Time in 35‐Year History
Participation has increased nearly 300 percent since 2003; breaks record for third year in a row
CLEVELAND (May 20, 2012) - The 2012 Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon weekend opened Saturday with a winning performance by a former Olympic gold medalist in the women's 5K and ended Sunday with a record turnout and a pair of blazing fast times in the men's and women's marathon.
Under clear skies and temperatures in the mid 80s, the weekend saw participation in the 35th Annual Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon events reach an all-‐time high of 20,008 runners. The total represents an increase of nearly 300 percent since Rite Aid became the title sponsor in 2003, when 5,200 participants took to the streets of Cleveland. Both the half and full marathon sold out for the second consecutive year and the third time in the marathon's 35-‐year history.
"Well, it was a little warmer than we would have liked it today, but the runners turned in some great times and the crowds were unbelievable," said Executive Race Director Jack Staph. "To have our men's and women's marathon winners run under 2:20 and 2:40, while setting records in the half and both 5K races is fantastic."
The record also included a 5K on Saturday that drew 1,315 runners, the We Run This City Program that had 750 school-‐aged participants from Cleveland Municipal School District, and another 500 children who participated in the Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Red Nose Children's Run on Saturday on the field at the Cleveland Browns Stadium.
"I think the thousands of fans and participants over the course of the weekend really got to see the best Cleveland has to offer," said Staph. "This is a great city, a flat, fast course, and it seems more and more people are enjoying 'the Cleveland Experience' each and every year."
Abraham Kogo, a 31-‐year-‐old runner from Kenya, was the first to cross the marathon finish line with a time of 2:19:59. Kogo bided his time until mile 21 when he kicked past the leaders to grab a lead he wouldn't relinquish. Peter Kembol, also of Kenya, came in second with a time of 2:23:29, followed by 30-‐year-‐old Matt Levassiur of Alamosa, Colo. at 2:24:07.
Among the women it was 35-‐year-‐old Mary Akor of Hawthorne, Calif. who took first with a time of 2:39:49. Russian Venera Sarmosova, 32, finished second in 2:44:16. She was followed by Beth Woodward, 36, of Orrville, N.Y. who finished in 2:55:19.
Both Kogo and Akor won $3,000, while collecting an additional $3,000 bonus for finishing under 2:20:00 and 2:40:00, respectively.
Twenty-‐four‐year‐old Andy Schweitzer of Beavercreek, Ohio finished first in the men's half marathon, finishing in 1:10:39. Michael Capriolo, 28, of Akron, took second in 1:12:08, followed by 30-‐year-‐old Charlie Ban of McLean, Va. who finished in 1:13:13.
Christie Forster, a 23-‐year-‐old runner from Colorado Springs, Colo. led the women's half marathon with a course record time of 1:19:47. Forster was followed by Heidi Greenwood, 27, of Cleveland, who crossed in 1:21:30. Andrea Gravue, 27, finished third with a time of 1:22:12.
Common with the 10K race, elite international runners dominated the top spots for the men's and women's events. Kenyan runners Julius Kibet and Everlyne Lagat won the men's and women's races, respectively, and each took home a $1,500 purse. This was the second year in a row that Lagat won the women's race.
Kibet, 29, finished in 28:44, matching his time from his 2005 victory. He was followed by Kenyan Simon Ndirangu, 26, who finished in 29:00 and Ethiopian Alene Reta, 30, who finished in 29:34.
Lagat, 31, won the women's 10K with a time of 33:58. Esther Erb, 26, of Blowing Rock, NC placed second with a time of 34:23. She was followed by 24-‐year-‐old Lilian Mariita of Kenya who finished in 34:37.
Another course record was set on Saturday in the 5K race by Stephen Benesh, 32, of North Ridgeville, Ohio, who completed the race in 16:08, breaking his own course record from his win the previous year by four seconds. In the women's race, 1984 Olympic marathon gold medalist Joan Benoit Samuelson won with a course record time of 18:48, just three days after celebrating her 55th birthday. Benoit Samuelson was in town as a special guest as part of the 35th anniversary celebration.
The 2012 race featured 20 neighborhood parties, and numerous music stations and bands along the course. The finish line area, which featured live music, a beer garden and sponsor and charity booths, was overflowing with family and friends of runners enjoying the sights of the North Coast Harbor with the finish line situated just between the Great Lakes Science Center and Cleveland Browns Stadium. Official race results of all finishing runners are available on the Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon website at www.clevelandmarathon.com by clicking on the 2012 Race Results Button.
Registration opens today for the 2013 race, which is scheduled for Sunday, May 19, 2013.
