Chic or Freak?: How to Wear a Headband the Right Way
This entry was posted on July 30, 2013.
In elementary school, you may have worn a headband by brushing out your long, crimped locks and stuffing a bright, plastic band at the top of your head to hold the hair away from your face. Depending on your hair type, it may have fallen flat or curved out away from the headband, like floppy Spaniel ears. In adult life, many women shy away from this time-tested accessory, for fear it will make them look too childish, too frumpy, or, heaven forbid, too much like a Spaniel. It's a shame to let such a versatile accessory go to waste. Like most other styles, it's not what you wear but how you wear it.
The Flower Child
If your look is slightly bohemian, play it up with a simple but lovely headband. Part your hair in the middle, wearing it long and down your back. Find a beautiful headband that goes full-circle and has a bit of stretch to it. Choose a simple or neutral print for a subtle look, or go all out with a bright color and pattern.
If you choose a bright color and pattern, consider making it your only accessory to keep an effortless, understated style. Place your headband on top of your head like a crown, ensuring that it rests just below your ponytail line in the back and right at the beginning of the hairline in front.
The Swept Back Up-Do
A simple or jeweled headband is a stunning addition to any up-do. Dress it up with rich fabrics or sparkly textures for an elegant evening, or dress it down with a brightly colored, printed scarf or bandana for a day in at the beach or farmers' market. If you're committing to the day look, just make sure to balance the look with modern accessories to prevent looking too costume-y.
The Girl Next Door
A thin, classic headband can still work with hair worn down. Just be sure to place it in a way that emphasizes your beautiful face and hair, not your bright accessory.
Part hair on the side and smooth bangs into place before donning the headband. That way you can control and smooth the style of your hair without the headband deciding for you.
For a twist, stay away from cardigans or baby doll dresses while wearing this style, so you don't appear too young or innocent. Grab a leather jacket, a short lace skirt, or a sexy tank top to complete the look.

I'm looking for affordable health care coverage for my soon-to-arrive newborn. It turns out that coverage under my plan at work (HealthNet) as well as my husband's (Kaiser) are a lot more expensive than I expected ($400+/mo). The only better coverage I've found so far is Blue Shield for $272. Any other suggestions? Thanks!
Hi there. My husband and I are expecting our first baby (a little girl) in April and are trying to figure out health insurance. We're both independent school teachers and so while we're not below the poverty line (not eligible for medi-cal or Healthy Families or anything like that), we're not exactly rolling in the dough either. To add our daughter through either of our jobs would be close to $500/month! This would be a huge financial strain on us. I have Kaiser and I'm really pleased with it and when perusing the individual plans, they look much more reasonable than going through my group plan. I know one has to be careful not to overlook any loopholes or gaps that may not be obvious until it's too late, though. Has anyone else faced this situation and/or have any advice on how to proceed? Thanks very much! Clueless Mom-to-be
Anybody aware of a health insurance company who offers insurance for a new baby that is lower than the almost $300/month (ridiculous) it will cost to add him to my insurance? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. anon
I am a student and expecting my first baby by the end of September. This is about my babys insurance. I have a good insurance coverage through my work as a student researcher at UC Davis, which is a Blue Cross PPO type of coverage. I am told by UCD that my insurance, unlike to the most of plans, doesnt cover the baby except for the day of delivery. Also, UC doesnt provide family plans to students, and it means that I have to buy individual coverage for the baby separately. I have tried several ways to do that or to get information such as Blue Cross, Health Net, Healthy Family, DMHC, and etc. and the bottom line is that my baby cannot have coverage sooner than two weeks after birth. Thats because all these plans need to have the birth certificate to be able to do the paperwork and activate the coverage for the baby as an individual. So, as you can see from the day after delivery until two weeks in the best scenario the baby wont have insurance.
I even tried to buy another coverage for myself and add the newborn on that, but my situation is considered as pre-existing condition and again the baby cannot get coverage through me.
The whole concern is if something happens during the delivery or in the first two weeks that get the baby to NICU or hospitalization. We are willing to pay as much as needed now to find any type of insurance and not to take the risk of unexpected situations.
Honestly, I am hopeless regarding this issue and have spent lots of time calling people. I I hope maybe someone has had a similar situation or know a way that may help me. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts or suggestions you might have, B
BTW: are you *sure* your baby is only covered up to birth? I was told that mine was covered, automatically, up to 30 days after birth, so I just had to make sure she was added by that point. Also, I was told that if she wasn't on there by the time of her next doctor appointment (because of a mix-up with the paperwork on my part, she might not be added quite in time), that was okay, the appointment would be retroactively covered, I would just have to have the claim resubmitted by my HR benefits specialist. Worth looking into?
Best, of luck. Most likely (unless you have a pre-existing medical condition that you know will probably cause problems) everything will be fine, and you won't need it anyway! Alesia
That being said, my first child is under Healthy Families, which (theoretically) starts 13 days after they recieve the birth certificate, which can be faxed from the hospital the day of the birth if you like and have the wherewithall to get that together. However, if you have to front anything between the birth and the coverage, I was told they would reimburse you later. You might have to talk to quite a few people before you get a straightforward answer on that policy...
Also, if you're willing to front some money, Kaiser has an individual child health plan that you can sign up for beforehand and pay for monthly until you are able to get a cheaper alternative together... plus Alameda county Healthy Families uses kaiser if you like, which means no switching pediatricians, etc when it comes to fruition. Beware the Healthy Families Bureaucracy, though!!!!! It took us FIVE MONTHS (Three prior to birth and two after) to get everything finalized!
Feel free to email me if you have anymore questions regarding Kaiser, HF and the like... I'm more experienced with them then I wish to be, but am happy with both presently... as long as this next baby is born March 1st! Sarah
My wife and I (both graduate students covered by GSHIP) are expecting a child. We're looking for affordable health insurance for our baby, since the health plan for dependants of graduate students offered by the university is quite expensive. Any suggestions or recommendations, please? Rolando
But consider this: If you make less than around $2500/month (it's $2700 for a family of 4), you could probably get no-cost Medi-Cal for the child's first year. Medi-Cal is a PAIN! (E.g. some workers don't realize that recipients are now allowed to have large savings.) But eventually they have to pay your bills if you qualify. Call "Healthy Families" (in phone book) and ask for a mail-in application. Lara (Or see Recommendations for the Healthy Families Program
Good Luck.
o Blue Cross of California (in the yellow pages)
o The Healthy Families program (http://HealthyFamilies.ca.gov/>) The Healthy Families Program is a state and federal funded health coverage program for children with family incomes above the level eligible for no cost Medi-Cal and below 200% of the federal income guidelines ($27,756 for a family of three).

Just like your liver on almost any Friday evening, this beef jerky is soaked in whiskey. Bulleit Bourbon to be exact. A slow-smoking with Texas Pecan wood adds a bit of campfire flavor to the recipe. Available in 4 & 8 ounce packages or better still, bulk quantities.
Unfortunately there's no actual alcohol in these Hefeweizen flavored jellybeans from Jelly Belly. But they do taste like beer, so they might help you make it through your little angel's ballet recital. If you chew slowly.
We have an affinity for products out of our former home state of Michigan. Here's one that proves simpler is better. Dave's Toffee contains 4 ingredients: almonds, butter, sugar, & milk chocolate. It's handmade, homemade and will melt in your mouth but stick to your teeth; just like it should.
Let some other schmuck show up to the Turkey Day feast with the embarrassing/sad holiday classic, green bean casserole. A guy like you should show up with this delectable showstopper. Whipped bourbon bacon sweet potatoes taste as good as they sound and if prepared with care, will be devoured instantly.
The idea is just to make it seem like you can cook. Actually learning isn't necessary. And it'll be even easier using these idiot-proof pre-made spice blends. Just Cook has created a whole range of natural spice rubs for better-tasting chicken, fish, and beef. You can do it.
Any former reality show idiot can get a book deal. Especially to "write" a cookbook. But Southern chef John Currence won the James Beard award. And this won't make his colorful personal stories or music pairings any better but at least you know his 130 recipes will be legit.
After you're done with your bee-pollen & Kale smoothie you'll need a real breakfast. And this one is so legit it will cause your chest hair to grow chest hair. It's a pancake recipe that includes beer and bacon on the ingredient list. Yes, man food. You're welcome.
Proper pre-game plans always include food. And beer. These beer-brined and Sriracha slathered chicken skewers combine your two tailgate staples into one spicy, easy-to-eat recipe that will get you geared up for the game.
If what you want is something that can be found hanging from the ceiling in a butcher shop, you can try all those weird pumps & pills but if you're serious about improving your sausage, this book is a much better investment. The secrets to superior Salumi, sausage, and other meaty goods are all in here.
Yes, beer does make everything better. Even cake. San Diego-based PubCakes has developed Craft Beer Cake Mixes that blend high-quality dry ingredients with beer. They've got 4 flavors: Chocolate Stout, Belgian Spice, Cocoa Porter, & Vanilla Ale. Add your favorite brand of beer, bake & say buh-bye to Betty Crocker.

THIS HISTORIC EXHIBIT ON CHINESE OVERSEAS is the result of the collaboration of five libraries: The Bancroft Library, the Center for Chinese Studies Library, the East Asian Library, the Ethnic Studies Library, and the South/Southeast Asia Library. It displays the rich and rare Chinese Overseas resources at the libraries of the University of California at Berkeley. The Ethnic Studies Library contains one of the most comprehensive Asian American Studies Collections in the United States, including materials on the cultural, political, and socio-economic life of Asian Americans and the largest archival collection on Chinese Americans in the world. These resources document and reveal the challenges and the triumphs of Chinese Overseas as well as their contributions to their adopted and host countries and to their homeland. These unique research materials have proven invaluable for the research and teaching needs of faculty, students and scholars on the Berkeley campus and beyond. They also tell fascinating stories.
The Chinese have a long history of migration overseas. According to the Overseas Chinese Confederation, in May 2000 there were 34 million Chinese residing in 140 countries in the world. Asia has the largest Chinese Overseas population (28 million). The Americas are second (3.5 million), Europe third (1.6 million), Oceania fourth (571 thousand), and Africa fifth (137 thousand). Studies of this phenomenon and systematic comparisons of the experiences of the Chinese Overseas have now reached a critical stage.
Chinese emigration began in the Han Tang dynasty. War, famine, poverty and curiosity about countries outside of China caused great numbers of Chinese to leave China in search of work and business opportunities during the second half of the 19th century. After World War II the source and status of migrants changed. The change in immigration policies, the normalization of relations between China and the United States in 1979 and the return of Hong Kong to China in 1997 have led to a new wave of émigrésthose who want to study abroad and those who want to experience adventures. In 2000, the Ministry of Education in China reported there were 320,000 Chinese studying abroad and two-thirds of them continue to live and to work in their host countries after their studies are completed. Many business and professional people are seeking new challenges and new opportunities in foreign countries. These new changes and their impact on the adopted and host countries and homeland merit scholarly research. This exhibit provides only a glimpse into Berkeley's research collections and archives on Chinese Overseas.

Softball Rallies From Five Runs Down To Defeat Youngstown State, 8-7
April 3, 2005
Chicago, Ill. - Senior Sara Hernandez capped a dramatic comeback for the UIC softball team on Sunday as her two-out double off the wall in the bottom of the seventh inning plated the tying and winning runs in the Flames' 8-7 victory over visiting Youngstown State at Flames Field.
UIC, which swept its three-game series with the Penguins, has now won 15 of its last 16 games to move to 23-16 this season and 3-0 in the Horizon League.
The Flames rallied from a five-run deficit in the final three frames on Sunday to remain undefeated in league play.
Trailing the Penguins 7-2 heading into the bottom of the fifth, UIC tallied four runs in the fifth, but still trailed by a run with two outs and nobody on in the bottom of the seventh.
Senior Cameron Astiazaran (2-for-3, 2 RBI) started the rally when she dumped a single into centerfield. Freshman Brittany Dixon (2-for-4) followed with a single through the right side of the infield to put runners on the corners for Hernandez, who was already 2-for-3 at the plate heading into her final at bat.
The Rowland Heights, Calif., native got a pitch to her liking from YSU's Ashley Lockmiller and lined it off the leftfield wall to plate Astiazaran and Dixon and cap the Flames' furious comeback.
Lockmiller, who started and lasted just 1/3 of an inning before re-entering to pitch the seventh, was tagged with the loss, falling to 4-4 this season.
Freshman Mercedes Lovato picked up her team-high 14th win in relief for UIC. She tossed 5 2/3 innings, allowing four runs, three earned, on seven hits.
After leaving 13 runners on base on Saturday, Youngstown State capitalized in its first scoring chance on Sunday, plating three runs on five hits off Flames starter Brittany McIntyre.
Sarah Berry, Sarah Conklin and McKenzie Bedra all had RBI knocks in the Penguins' rally.
UIC looked to answer back in the bottom of the frame by loading the bases with one out off starter Lockmiller. Youngstown State Head Coach Christy Cameron went right to the bullpen for Kelly Murphy, who struck out freshman Lauren Brennan and got rookie Nicole Robinson to fly out to end the inning.
The Flames did capitalize on their next scoring chance as Astiazaran drove in a pair with a double in the bottom of the second inning to cut the Penguins' lead to 3-2. It was Astiazaran's Horizon League-leading 21st two-bagger this season.
Youngstown State put two runs right back on the board in the top of the third to go back up 5-2. Bedra hit a solo home run over the scoreboard in left-centerfield and the Penguins added a second tally when an error by leftfielder Michelle Miller allowed Char Kudlock to score from second base.
Bedra put Youngstown State in front 6-2 in the fourth with a two-out, RBI double. It was her third hit and third RBI of the day.
The Penguins tacked another tally on the board in the fifth on an infield single by Berry, who also had a three-hit effort for YSU.
UIC pulled within a run in the bottom of the fifth with four runs on four hits. Robinson drove in the first with a single before Miller, who was 2-for-4 at the dish, plated a pair with a double down the right field line. The Flames' fourth tally scored on an error by YSU second baseman Kudlock.
UIC threatened to tie the game in the sixth with runners on first and second and one out, but Murphy escaped the jam without any damage done.
The Flames will be back in action on Tuesday afternoon when they travel to Peoria, Ill., for a doubleheader at Bradley with first pitch slated for 3:00 p.m.

College Hockey:Cahoon Beats Former Team
Massachusetts Downs Princeton, 5-3
AMHERST, Mass. — After falling to his mentor, 5-3, Princeton coach Len Quesnelle didn't take much to a stroll down memory lane. He had other things to worry about, like his team's inability to compete with Don Cahoon's UMass squad five-on-five.
"For me it was obviously a first," Quesnelle said. "It definitely gave me an appreciation for what he is trying to do."
After spotting Massachusetts (8-5-0) a four-goal lead, the Tigers (1-10-0) managed to make a game out of it, scoring on three consecutive power plays in the second and third periods. But in the end the Minutemen's talent edge saw them through to their third straight victory over an ECAC opponent.
"We would have been satisfied just playing a close checking game and cruising in for the win," Cahoon said. "But you can't just cruise in college hockey. They got a few power plays and had the soft hands to take advantage and next thing you know it was a game."
Princeton took advantage of two straight five-on-three power plays, getting goals from Chris Owen and Mike Patton to cut a 4-0 deficit in half. Owen's tally came on a textbook exchange as Matt Maglione beat his defender and slid a cross-crease pass to Owen for the goal.
Patton followed just two minutes later when another goalmouth feed from Brian Carthas found him all alone on the right circle.
The Minutemen still held a two-goal lead entering the third thanks to goals from four different players, but the momentum was in Princeton's hands.
"I knew that first goal in the third was going to be crucial," Cahoon said. "If we score that makes it 5-2 and that could've have changed the complexion of the game."
But it was the Tigers that struck first out of the intermission. On a broken clearing attempt Seamus Young faked a shot from the slot, putting goalie Tim Warner on his back and fed Sebastian Borza who slid it into the yawning net for a power play goal.
Borza's second score of the season cut the UMass lead to one with over 15 minutes to play and intensified a game that once lacked any vigor.
Princeton totaled six shots in the final period including a pair of chances that squeezed through the crease.
"We got lucky, just flat out lucky," Cahoon said. "With the puck laying in the crease like that. Though we've been the victim of some bad luck at times so its nice to have it go our way."
Backup netminder Tim Warner made 11 saves on 14 total shots, though he stood tall when he had to. Princeton goalie Nate Nomeland, however, was kept busy by a UMass attack that has scored 18 goals in its last three games.
Nomeland made 25 saves on 29 shots but was twice victimized by the potent line of sophomore Greg Mauldin and freshmen Matt Anderson and Stephen Werner. The trio has been virtually unstoppable since being put together for Tuesday's game against Vermont. So was the case against Princeton as they combined for two goals and seven points on the afternoon.
It was a fourth liner, however, who got the game winner when Peter Trovato banged in a rebound at 6:04 of the second period. Rookie Steven Jacobs intercepted a clearing attempt and fed classmate James Solon for a slapshot that Nomeland parried away. An opportunistic Trovato then swooped in and fired the rebound past a sprawled Nomeland.
Princeton will host Harvard and Brown next weekend while UMass will start and home-and-home with Boston University.

The Times Union reports that authorities have indicted Glendon Crawford, 49, on Thursday for trying to create an evil death ray that could kill people from afar. Last June, the FBI arrested Crawford and accomplice Eric Feight, 54, for trying to sell a homemade radiation weapon. Although Feight hasn't been indicted, he remains in jail for his involvement in the scheme. Auhorities have charged Crawford with various crimes, which include conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction.
The duo approached a Jewish group and a southern KKK branch about buying the weapon. Crawford worked for General Electric as an industrial mechanic and Feight worked as a computer software expert. Although the duo didn't build the weapon, they still tried to sell it as a weapon they could develop.
The FBI established surveillance in December 2012, and began monitoring the duo's phone calls, emails, and text messages. Crawford contacted at least two different Jewish synagogues and tried to sell a device capable of destroying Israel's enemies while they slept.

Statement by H.E. Archbishop Celestino Migliore
Apostolic Nuncio, Permanent Observer of the Holy See
61st session of the UN General Assembly
Follow-up to the outcome of the Millennium Summit:
Report of the Secretary-General (A/61/836)
New York, 17 April 2007
Madam President,
The Holy See
welcomes this opportunity to consider publicly, in a plenary of the General
Assembly, the recent Report of the Secretary-General in the light of the
recommendations of the High-level Panel on UN system-wide Coherence made last
Over the last
sixty years, in spite of the shortcomings of which we are all aware, the UN has
grown from a mechanism for keeping the peace into a multifaceted organ for the
promotion of peace, development and human rights on a scale unknown in history.
It is internationally recognized, effective in many areas of its mandates, and
rightly retains much of its prestige among ordinary people.
Along side this,
we must also admit that there is a universally acknowledged need for ongoing
reform and greater coherence, but neither of these elements, whether as
processes or goals, has been achieved satisfactorily, in spite of numerous
attempts to do so.
Even recent
attempts to reform the UN have not been all that we could have wished for. The
Human Rights Council, the UN's new human rights machinery – a vital part of the
UN's mandate and an important source of its global moral impact – still leaves
much to be desired, due not only to inherited and subsequent inefficiencies but
also to an apparent disintegration of international political will that would
replace mere self-interest with the dispassionate and effective application of
truly people-centred human rights policies. Many parts of the UN do deliver such
policies to the great benefit of many individuals and groups, but much could be
Secondly, my
delegation views positively the employment of the pilot schemes under way to
test the "One United Nations" approach in developing countries where many
branches of the UN currently work side by side. The peoples of the countries
which host most UN development initiatives urgently need a more efficient and
coordinated UN on the ground.
Thirdly, the UN's
environmental machinery has been a Cinderella for too long and, as the world
faces unprecedented changes in climate coupled with demands for energy and the
need for sustainable development, the Holy See would strongly support an
independent and authoritative assessment of the current UN system of
environmental governance. Such an assessment would be extremely timely in the
present circumstances.
Finally, my
delegation will continue to follow carefully the question of coherence regarding
humanitarian assistance. On those occasions when many lives can be saved or lost
by the quality of organization brought to bear, the UN can play an essential
role in coordinating such assistance as maybe quickly available, although this
will surely be made swifter and more effective when done in collaboration with
those on the ground who know the terrain.

Cyclones no contest for surging Longhorns
Chris Williams
The surging Texas Longhorns physically dominated Iowa State on Saturday in route to a 33-7 win over the Cyclones. Texas racked up 607 total yards in the game compared to only 277 by Iowa State. That statistic pretty much tells the story.
What went right? What went wrong? Here's your recap.
Next two weeks – This is going to be hard for some of you to comprehend and I completely understand why - but Iowa State still has a decent chance to go 7-5 on the season. In fact, Iowa State has a chance to be favored in its final two games of 2012 (although I'd say both of the two upcoming games look more like PICKS to me depending on what goes down the rest of this weekend and also next of course).
Last week's loss was to a very good Oklahoma team. Texas is currently playing like a top 15 team. The Longhorns have finally gotten all of those blue chippers to play as one. All of Iowa State's five losses are to teams it wasn't supposed to beat.
Before you roll your eyes and tell me to quit being a homer, remember that this is "Three Up." I'll get to Saturday's issues in a moment.
The silver lining is that the playing field will be leveled in each of the next two weeks.
Having said that, I've been high on Kansas all year from the standpoint that they are not an easy out. The Jayhawks might be winless in the Big 12 but they've taken TCU, Oklahoma State and Texas all to the wire at home. Kansas took Texas Tech to double-overtime in Lubbock on Saturday. This team is due to win and has Iowa State circled on its schedule.
And then there's West Virginia...I'd feel a lot better about that game if Jake Knott and Jansen Watson were healthy for Iowa State of course. Still, it's a home game against one of the worst defenses in college football.
Things are looking down right now but keep your head up. Iowa State has two very winnable games in front of it the next two weeks. The Cyclones are still in a position to win seven games, which any of you would have taken back in August.
Running game – Slowly, Iowa State's running game is improving. It's hard to be too positive about anything within the Iowa State offense right now considering the circumstances but the Cyclones did average 4.6 yards per rush in the loss. One can only assume that the reason why the Cyclones didn't try to run the ball more is because they got down early.
Shontrelle Johnson averaged 6.3 yards per carry on nine attempts to total 57 yards. James White looked as healthy as he's been in weeks tallying 48 yards on 13 carries.
I'm still not sure why Jeff Woody isn't getting more carries. Iowa State's big man only got the ball one time in Saturday's loss against Texas' 104th ranked rush defense.
Only two "ups" today...
Missing Jake Knott and Jansen Watson - This was evident last week but even more clear today. One of the things that made Knott so special was the fact that he always seemed to clean up other people's mistakes. The opposition picked up seven yards quite often instead of 13 when Knott was in the game. Not only is Knott absent physically for the Cyclones but his leadership is missed as well.
And then there's junior cornerback Jansen Watson, whose value has never been higher after watching Oklahoma and Texas pick apart his replacements.
Texas quarterback David Ash had a field day vs. Iowa State's secondary. Ash, who is as underrated of a quarterback as there is in this league, completed his first 11 pass attempts on the day. Ash ended the day going 25-for-31 for 364 yards and two touchdowns. Note that several Texas wide receivers dropped passes on the day too so Ash' completion percentage should have actually been higher.
Texas averaged 7.9 yards per play.
Third-Down Defense – The Longhorns converted on 8-of-14 third down conversion attempts on Saturday. This has become a trend folks...Oklahoma converted on 9-of-14 third down attempts last weekend. The result? Some lop-sided first down and time of possession statistics.
Texas had twice as many first downs as Iowa State, 31 to 15.
Texas' offense had the football for 38:12 compared to 21:48 for Iowa State. Here's an amazing statistic...Iowa State only controlled the football for six minutes and 11 seconds in the second half.
Passing offense - Iowa State collected 133 passing yards in the game but get this...The Cyclones threw for minus-one passing yard in the third quarter and only 31 passing yards in the second half alone. Steele Jantz completed only 15-of-29 attempts in the game. It wasn't all No. 2's fault. The guy ran for his life against a hungry Texas front four all day long.
Jantz only threw two interceptions, one of them coming in desperation mode. The other, a careless lob in the second quarter, was critical in crushing some Iowa State momentum as the team was trying to get back in the game.
Nobody - There isn't one guy who stands out to me here. I'm not even trying to be pessimistic with this analysis either. I'd think that most in the locker room would agree with my final conclusion.
I mean, the offense totaled 277 yards...The defense gave up over 600. Add that together and you get a 26 point loss. No game ball today.
Quenton Bundrage - This redshirt freshman wide receiver scored the first touchdown of his career on Saturday. Bundrage led Iowa State with three receptions for 20 yards in the loss.
David Irving – This sophomore defensive end blocked a Texas field goal early in the second quarter that really shifted the game's momentum. He also made an all-man play early in the third quarter too.
Jeremiah George - I'm not sure how well he'll grade out but he was all over the place, recording 10 tackles along the way.
Jeremy Reeves - Put forth a solid effort from a coverage standpoint.
A.J. Klein - Here's a guy who is feeling the loss of Jake Knott. Klein played his butt off in the loss. He was spread all over the field. He's still playing good football but at a new position, things are different without his bash brother.
Durrell Givens - The strong safety led Iowa State with 11 tackles.

My Family Feast
Episode 6: The Cubans
Sean recounts his meeting with the "Cubanadas", a dynamic group of Cuban
women who show him how to cook their favourite dishes for their friend
Margarita San Jose's 70th birthday celebration.
The Cuban women were really cool and Margarita had such an interesting story to tell. She showed me a photo of herself when she was younger with Fidel Castro and told me her story of meeting Che Guevara. When she was 15 she went to see him in his mountain hideout and asked if she could join the resistance. He said no that she was too young and to come back in a year, but by that time she'd gotten swept up in what was going on in her village, so she never went back to the mountains to see him.
What was really incredible about these Cuban women was this huge passion they have for their country. The love for their country was quite overwhelming. They're really patriotic. Magnolia, Margarita's daughter had decorated her house with Cuban flags and Cuban souvenirs for us.
They all love to play dominoes. It was fun to play with them even though it was a different kind of dominoes game to the one I was used to. It was nice because it reminded me of being back in England as a kid playing dominoes with my grandfather. They're really serious about playing. I think that British dominoes only go up to 6 dots but this Cuban version went to 9 dots, so their game goes for longer because they have more dominoes. The rules are much more strict as well - you can only play in groups of 4 – 2 people on each side.
I was blown away by their dancing. It seems like everywhere I have been shooting this series, food, music and dancing all go hand in hand. No one dances at Australian get togethers.
The marinated pig roasted in Anerys' special 'China box' was a lot of fun. It's done with an unusual technique where the coals go on the top of the pig rather than underneath for a kind of a slow cook. Conventional wisdom would dictate that heat radiates upwards, but with this one the coals were permeating the heat downwards. It still tasted like it'd been cooked the other way round though. Anerys and her husband had got the preparation and cooking down to a fine art... and the result was sensational. Everything was timed down to the very minute.
I have found that with all the families I have visited I have to leave everything I've learnt at the door. The things that, as a chef, I think would or wouldn't work don't necessarily apply. Like this way of cooking, where the coals are above the pig rather than below. Normally I'd think it doesn't work but it worked beautifully. Even to the point of getting a hypodermic needle and we were injecting the pig with Anerys' special marinade. We used a real medical syringe! We were injecting the pig's muscle with orange juice and thyme – it's a technique that I've never seen before and would never have thought to do. What it does is make the flavours permeate the muscle so a really nice flavour comes through the meat. But it's not a normal Cuban thing, it's just Anerys' own special thing.

Weekly Update - August 15, 2014back
Each week, the City Manager's Office provides an update that includes information on programs, services and issues within the City, as well as news, project updates and follow-up information when applicable. It can be found on the City's website.
Enforcement on Third and Fourth Streets: On Tuesday, August 12, Coronado Police Officers conducted a saturated patrol on Third and Fourth streets. This heightened enforcement yielded 70 citations, which included four misdemeanor citations, and 25 written warnings. This effort is intended to make drivers aware of the posted speed limit of 25 mph and that the City is enforcing the law.
Above and below: Coronado Police Department's enforcement on Third and Fourth streets.
Deodar Cedar Replacement Trees: The City is in the process of planting new Deodar cedar trees in the Orange Avenue medians. These new cedars replace those that were removed because of their poor condition due to age or disease. The City's arborist consultant, West Coast Arborists, began digging the holes yesterday for five young cedars and today will plant the trees with the use of a crane. Two trees will be planted in the 700 block, two in the 1000 block and one tree in the 1100 block of Orange. No other Deodar cedars will be planted until this time next year. At that time, the City will remove additional poor performing cedars and replace them with six healthy trees. Please be cautious and drive safely around these and other crews while in Coronado
Above and below: West Coast Arborists digging holes yesterday for replacement Deodar cedar trees. The young trees, seen on the flatbed truck, are being planted today.
Third and Fourth Street Traffic Calming Survey: Following a workshop last week to solicit input on various concepts developed to calm traffic and improve safety and mobility on the Third and Fourth Streets Corridor, the City created a survey that can be taken to provide additional feedback on the alternative concepts proposed by the traffic engineering consultant. The PowerPoint presentation that was shown at the meeting is posted on the City's website, along with the survey. Once all the feedback has been analyzed, the consultant will make a recommendation on a preferred alternative. The community is encouraged to take the survey and have their concerns heard.

Slurry Seal Street Preventive Maintenance: The City continues its slurry seal application on this year's designated streets. The slurry seal helps extend the life of the City's streets. Every street in town receives a slurry seal once every seven years. This week, the contractor completed the application of slurry seal along the project areas, which included E Avenue, from First Street to Isabella Avenue; F Avenue, from First Street to Ocean Boulevard; G Avenue, from First Street to Tenth Street; and H Avenue, from First Street to Olive Avenue. Next week, the contractor will begin re-striping and painting all traffic markings within the project areas.

New Office Building on Ninth Street: The two old buildings located at 1107-1111 Ninth St. were demolished this week to make room for a new office building. The design of the new building was approved by the Design Review Commission on March 26. Below is a photo simulation of the proposed building.
Cays Force Main Inspection Ports: The City's contractor, Tharsos Inc., will begin maintenance work, which includes wet well cleaning and piping repairs, at the Coronado Cays Pump Station on Thursday, August 14. This work is being done to determine the condition and help extend the life of the City's waste water system in the area. All maintenance tasks should be completed by Tuesday, August 19. Once the maintenance work is complete, the contractor will begin removing and replacing the above-ground air release valves and structures at seven locations adjacent to the Bayshore Bikeway between the Cays and Glorietta Bay Park. The construction contract also includes installing two vault structures that will allow internal video inspection of the 12-inch force main pipe to make an assessment of the condition and remaining service life of the force main. The contractor anticipates completion of the project by October 16.
ADA Evaluation Public Meeting: The City of Coronado will hold a meeting August 26 to help in its preparation of an Americans with Disabilities Act Self Evaluation and Transition Plan.

Participants can express their concerns regarding the accessibility of City services and facilities. The City will include all comments into the final plan. The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on August 26 in the Coronado Council Chambers, 1825 Strand Way. For information, contact Bill Cecil at (619) 522-7314 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Lifeguards Update: Earlier this month, the Lifeguard Dive Team assisted in the search for a man missing in the water after a vessel collision in the El Capitan Reservoir. Four City divers responded and assisted with the search. The body of the missing man was located by a diver from another team. Coronado Sgt. Evan Lowe located the motor from the sunken vessel as well as other pieces of wreckage and evidence. The incident helped the City's divers gain valuable experience. In other lifeguarding news, two Coronado Lifeguards competed in the Molokai 2 Oahu Paddleboard World Paddleboard Championships. Carter Graves won the 33-mile event in the ladies stock division finishing with a time of 6:41.14. Robert Phelps finished the race on his unlimited class board while racing for the Ocean of Hope Sarcoma Alliance to raise funds for cancer victims. Congratulations to both Lifeguards for their outstanding efforts and amazing endurance.

Friends of the Library: The Friends of the Library Board met on Monday, August 12. The board sponsored two events at the Library this week. The first was a free, family event to complement the adults-only Gala event that was held last February. The "Family Pirate Picnic" was held last night at 6 p.m. in the Children's Library and at the park outside of the Children's Library. Games, food, a cupcake walk, and the Pirate Band entertained a lively crowd of parents and children. The second Friends' event is the pre-Christmas book sale, which will be held in the parking lot, behind the Library, tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Family Pirate Picnic event was held last night at the Library (photos next week).
Library Board of Trustees: The Library Board of Trustees held its monthly meeting Tuesday, August 12. The Board reviewed a variety of items. Trustee Sarah Brown has been elected as incoming president, replacing Sally Zoll. Trustee Douglas Siegfried has been elected executive secretary, a position previously held by Elizabeth Warren. Their terms begin on September 1. Both Brown and Warren are eligible for reappointment to a second term on the Library Board. Their reappointments will be on the agenda for the next City Council meeting of August 19.
Summer Reading Program: A puppet show featuring characters from "The Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum was presented in the Winn Room last week. It was the final program for the Children's Summer Reading Program.
Above and below: Oz Puppet Show at the Library.
Public Art Piece: A bronze sculpture titled "LOVE" has been donated to the Friends of the Coronado Library. This sculpture was first reviewed by the Cultural Arts Commission's Public Art Working Team. The donor of the sculpture is making the donation through the donor's 501c3 organization, and liked the Coronado Library as a site to display the piece. The Friends' Board approved the gift at its meeting Monday, August 11, and the Library Board of Trustees approved its placement in the Library. The piece was sculpted by Dorothy Frankel and it depicts the word "love" finger spelled by four hands in American Sign Language. The sculpture has been on exhibit in several venues. Frankel's parents live in Coronado.
"LOVE" by Dorothy Frankel has been donated to the Friends of the Coronado Library.
Summer Festival: Tonight, Joe Bourne will present a free concert, "Great Gentlemen of Swing, Blues, and Pop," in the Winn Room at 7 p.m. Bourne will sing classics from Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Tony Bennett, Ray Charles and others.

Vehicle Theft Suspects Arrested: At 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 9, Coronado Police Officers initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle that was reportedly stolen out of San Diego, and arrested two suspects. Officers temporarily closed the 900 and 1000 blocks of Alameda Boulevard until the two subjects were safely taken into custody. Both were transported to jail and will be charged with vehicle theft.
Prescription Drop Box: The Police Department now has a Prescription Drop Box located in the lobby at 700 Orange Ave. Residents can drop off their unwanted prescription drugs and sharps anonymously from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. The Fire and Public Services departments will no longer accept unused prescriptions. This will not affect the Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Collection on Saturdays. However, prescription drugs will no longer be accepted at the Hazardous Waste Drop-Off site now that the drop box has moved to the Police Department.
Above and below: The Prescription Drop Box is located in the Police Department's main lobby.
Suspected Bicycle Thief Arrested: Officers arrested a bicycle thief suspect at 7:45 p.m. on Monday, August 11, after he was found with the Police Department's remotely monitored bicycle. The suspect was contacted by Coronado patrol officers while riding the bicycle on the Silver Strand bike path just south of the Naval Amphibious Base. The suspect was transported to jail and charged with grand theft and possession of stolen property.
U-Lock Giveaway Continues: Congratulations to Kim Gomez, the lucky winner of a new bicycle U-lock. Gomez stopped by the Coronado Police Department table at Concerts in the Park last Sunday, August 10, and entered a drawing to win a Kryptonite U-lock. Officers will be giving away more U-locks this Sunday, August 17. Hope to see you there.
U-lock winner Kim Gomez on Sunday, August 10, at Spreckels Park.
Caltrans Cleanup of Third Street: The California Department of Transportation continues to provide improved responsiveness to the City of Coronado. On the heels of a large and prompt response effort on July 3 to address overgrown plants and weeds on the State Route 75 right of way from Adella Avenue to Avenue de las Arenas, Caltrans responded to residents' concerns regarding overgrown landscaping, impeding the walkability and safety of the sidewalk on Pomona Ave in the vicinity of the San Diego-Coronado Bridge Toll Plaza.

College Hockey:Rewriting The Script: Brown Pulls Away From Rensselaer
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The regular-season series between the Brown Bears and the Rensselaer Engineers was as close as can be; first the teams skated to a 3-3 tie in early December at Meehan Auditorium, and then the Engineers broke a 2-2 tie, tallying a goal with nine seconds remaining in their win at Houston Fieldhouse in February.
And Friday's night's game, the start of a best-of-three playoff series in the opening round of the ECAC tournament, looked to be played from the exact same script as the 11th-seeded Engineers matched sixth-seeded Brown goal for goal over the game's first 50 minutes. In the last 10 minutes, though, Brown took advantage of favorable bounces and a Rensselaer miscue and tallied two quick goals en route to a 7-4 win and a 1-0 edge in the playoff series.
The game did not start auspiciously for Brown, a young team that lacks postseason experience, when senior captain Les Haggett was whistled for tripping a mere 13 seconds after the drop of the puck. But the Bears managed to kill off the first of eight RPI power plays, and seemed to gain momentum from their penalty kill's success.
Freshman Chris Poli followed up the penalty kill less than two minutes later with his first goal of the season. Poli advanced the puck into the RPI end and then angled sharply towards the net, catching the Engineers playing back, and flicked a backhanded shot from close range that beat RPI goal Andrew Martin across his body, stick-side.
His strike gave Brown a 1-0 lead, but that advantage was only temporary because the Bears took another penalty — this time a call against winger Rugo Santini for boarding at 4:20 of the first period. On their second power play of the evening, the Engineers would not be denied; Brown freshman netminder Adam D'Alba slid across the crease to his right and stopped a close-range shot, but his momentum carried him away from the post, leaving RPI's Kevin Broad unchecked. Broad easily poked home the loose puck and knotted the score at 1-1.
But just as swiftly as momentum had shifted from Brown to RPI, it pivoted back again. Engineer defenseman Matt McNeely was whistled for tripping at 6:39 of the first and he was joined in the box 12 seconds later by Brad Farynuk.
Boosted by almost two full minutes of five-on-three hockey, Brown broke the 1-1 deadlock when defenseman Sean Hurley forward Brian Ihnacak, after working the puck around the Engineer end, fired a pass cross-ice to forward Brian Ihnacak. Ihnacak, sitting at the top of the blue line, one-timed a hard shot past Martin, beating him cleanly and putting Brown up 2-1.
That 2-1 Brown lead held into the second period until RPI's power play again asserted itself. Taking advantage of an interference call against Ihnacak the Engineers held the puck in the Brown end, keeping the Bears' skaters from switching out for a fresh set of legs.
With both teams slow on their skates as the power play wound down, RPI's Oren Eizenman prevented a clearing attempt and chased the puck down behind the Brown net, fending off a Brown defender in the process. Coming out on the other side of the net, Eizenman fired a quick pass across the ice to a streaking Alexander Valentin, who beat D'Alba on a quick shot and evened the score at 2-2 with 12:38 to play in the second.
Brown again composed itself and regained the lead for the third time on a goal by Hurley from beyond the left faceoff circle. It was that ability to compose itself, Brown head coach Roger Grillo said, that enabled his team to secure the crucial first win in the best-of-three series.
"It's important [to win the first game of a series] because half our team has never really played in a playoff game," Grillo said.
"They were nervous," he added. "But they battled through."
A large part of that battle was overcoming RPI's special teams, which continually helped the Engineers rally from deficits. Over the course of the night, RPI scored power-play goals to even the score at 1-1, then at 2-2, and finally at 3-3.
"I thought we did a real good job on our special teams," said Rensselaer head coach Dan Fridgen. "We had three goals out of eight opportunities [on the power play] and they had only one goal [in seven chances]."
The back-and-forth continued over the remainder of the second and the first half of the third periods: RPI defenseman Jake Luthi knocked home a juicy rebound to tie the score at 3. Poli notched his second of the night (and of the season) at 15:36 of the second on a point-blank shot, and RPI countered during an even strength score by forward Kevin Croxton at 11:17 of the third.
"I thought we outplayed them tonight, and we should have come away with a victory," Fridgen said. "But at this time of the season, goaltending is critical and Andrew [Martin] didn't have his best game."
Martin ended the night with 18 saves on 25 shots, and counterpart D'Alba finished with 26 saves on 30 shots, so neither goaltender was a crucial part of his team's success.
"I though we played well at times, I thought they played well at times," Grillo said. "Obviously the puck bounced for us a couple of times, and that's the difference in the game."
One such favorable bounce came on the Bears' fifth goal, when a collision between a Brown and an RPI player combined with the good eyesight of Ihnacak and a long pass that he fired behind all the RPI players to a streaking Brian McNary, to end the scoreboard deadlock for the remainder of the night. Brown added another goal by Mike Meech on a two-on-one break a minute later, and an empty netter at 18:49.

This tutorial introduces you to the Photoshop brush palette. The brush palette is a powerful tool inside Photoshop that allows you to change brush tip shape, diameter, and apply textures. You can create a huge variety of different styles using the same brush. All you need to do is modify the settings within the brush palette.
How to Access the Brush Palette
The brush palette can be access by either selecting Window>Brushes or by hitting the F5 key.
Settings Within the Brush Palette
The image below is a close up of the brush palette. As you can see, there are a lot of settings within this palette. The user has the ability to modify the brush tip shape, set different scattering levels, apply textures, modify brush diameter, and more.
The palette shows a small thumbnail image of each brush that is currently loaded in the upper right corner of the brush palette. There is also a preview image at the bottom of the palette that shows how the brush will look after you apply changes.
Brush Shape Dynamics
The shape dynamics settings are used to modify the shape and angular position of the brush.
Refer to the image below to see how the shape dynamic settings allow you to modify the appearance of the brush strokes.
I am using one of the Photoshop default brush tips for this demonstration. You can see in the preview image how the brush appearance changes as I modify the angle, roundness, and spacing of the brush.
Changing the Scattering Option
The image below shows how the brush stroke changes when you select different values for scattering. The larger the value used, the further away each brush stroke will appear relative to each other.
Applying Texture to the Brush Tip
Another great feature that you can control within the brush palette is the ability to add textures to brush tip. The image below show the different appearances possible using the same brush tip with texture and shading modes applied.
As you can see, the Photoshop brush palette allows you to modify your brush tips to help achieve some awesome results. Spend some time experimenting with the brush palette settings to learn how to achieve unique results.

I'm trying to find business casual shoes that are appropriate for work AND are easy to bike in. I've biked around town in pumps before, but it is very, very annoying. Also I was in a much smaller city and didn't worry too much about making a fool of myself in front of traffic if I lost my balance....Anyway, I'm looking for maybe two or three pairs of shoes around the $60-$80 price range in colors that will match a variety of work outfits and will keep my toesies warm as the weather gets cooler. I'm a size 8½ or 9. Good Luck! Thanks! Susan"

Love darts for you my love
What could better express a malacologist's love on Valentine's Day than a box of love darts painstakingly isolated from scores of Helix aspersa* sacrificed in the name of love (and science)?
During mating of hermaphrodite land snails, each partner places a spermatophore, a bag of spermatozoa (sperm cells), in their partner's bursa copulatrix (BC). The spermatophore is digested in the BC and only a small fraction of the spermatozoa escapes to the higher parts of the female reproductive system to fertilize the partner's eggs.
Diagrammatic representation of the reproductive organs of a pulmonate snail. All pulmonates are hermaphrodites, but not all of them have darts. P, penis; D, dart; S, dart sac; V, vagina; MG, mucus glands; BC, bursa copulatrix; G, genital opening. Original by Koene, copy from Schilthuizen.
The so-called love darts are sharp needles of calcium carbonate that are stored one at a time in a special bag-like organ, the dart sac, and thrust inside the body of a snail's partner during mating. Studies have demonstrated that darts transfer mucus from the mucus glands (MG), which, probably by reducing sperm digestion in the BC, increases fertilization success of the sperm.
*Also known as Cantareus aspersus.

I designed these baubles for Sew Hip last year, but I thought they'd be perfect to share with you all as part of my Crafty Christmas series :)
To make your own baubles you will need:
- The templates at the bottom of this post
- Craft felt in white, grey and a selection of bright candy colours (or whatever colour scheme you've chosen)
- Ric rac, plus matching embroidery thread
- Matching sewing threads for all the felt & ric rac colours you're using
- Narrow ribbon
- A sewing needle, pins, sewing scissors and a large needle
1) First cut out your pattern pieces from the templates provided. For each ornament (a circle or a teardrop) you need to cut out two main bauble shapes in a bright colour (C1 or T1), one wide band of white felt (C2 or T2), one narrower band of a second bright colour (C3 or T3) and one small 'cap' piece from grey felt (TC).
Want to make some of these baubles to sell at craft fairs or in your Etsy shop? A PDF version of this tutorial is now available. Easy to print, buying the PDF allows you to sell as many baubles as you like as long as you make them by hand yourself and credit me as the designer on the label or in the shop listing. You can also use the templates to teach a sewing class if you want to. The Vintage Felt Baubles PDF Pattern is now available from my main shop and as an instant download from my Etsy shop.

Area Residents Not Concerned with Mail Changes
Written by Nicole Porter
Last updated on February 07, 2013 @ 7:54PM
Created on February 07, 2013 @ 6:35PM
Starting in a few months you may only need to check your mail five days a week. That's because the postmaster general announced on Wednesday that the US Postal Service is stopping Saturday delivery service for normal mail such as letters, mailers and catalogs. This type of service has been around for 150 years but the change is being made to save billions of dollars a year.
Most people in the area don't mind the change. That may be because some mail, such as mail-order medicines, packages, priority and express mail will still have Saturday services. It's your letters, bills and junk mail that won't be showing up in your mailbox. Videos from places such as Netflix could fall into this category too.
Most people said that this change isn't really a big deal. A lot were actually happy with the decision because it will be saving money.
One woman, Crecentia Downs, said she's "...all for it."
"I don't think that there's anything that important that can't wait until Monday, especially letters. If people are just worried about their bills, I'm pretty sure they'll still come on Monday," she laughed.
Elkins resident DeeAnn Harper still pays her bills by mail. She said that this announcement won't make her change to using the Internet to pay bills. While it won't be a problem for her, she said she saw how some people may find it to be an inconvenience.
"The only problem I would see is if you're mailing your bills in at the very last second and you want them to get there. If there's no delivery on Saturday that could be an issue but you just mail it a day earlier," said Harper.
5 News reached out to Netflix for a comment. Representatives said they had no particular comment on the announcement. The e-mail said that in the past the company was in favor of a healthy postal service.

Sounding Cov: 11 Hours of Non-Stop Mantra
Tuesday 23rd October 2012
Sing, sleep, sit, dance, play, laugh, make a wish for Coventry!
SOUNDING COV is a creative, musical, community project focused on one event: 11 hours of chanting continuously, followed by 1 hour of silence.
Now in its third year, Sounding Cov is gathering momentum. This year's event – which takes place on Wednesday 14 November – is dedicated to strengthening the power of the Female throughout Coventry.
Fuelled by the power of Sanskrit mantra, the initiative uses the capacity of sound to make change. This is an idea that will become more popular in the coming years, as we see increasing recognition and value given to the power of sound.
The core of the sound consists of four Sanskrit mantras, specifically chosen to engage with the land of Coventry City Centre, to:
1) Clear obstacles and unify
2) Release a chain of distressful events and attract positive energy
3) Generate self- worth and confidence
4) Create peace (locally in Coventry and globally)
Each mantra takes place for 15mins each, so within 1 hour, all 4 mantras are sounded: this process repeats over 11 hours. 1 hour of silence follows. Each mantra has a different musical flavour – Indian, Irish, African and Afro-Caribbean.
Chanting these mantras benefits the land of Coventry; it also directly benefits the lives of the individuals who chant them. Everyone is invited to make a wish for Coventry.
You are invited to sing the 4 mantras to attract positive energy, confidence and peace in Coventry and make a wish for the city. Wishes from previous years will also be on display.
After 11 hours of chanting, participants sit in silence for 1 hour. You're welcome to come for 5 mins or stay for the whole 12 hours.
Bring sleeping bags, instruments, cushions, your pets, your children, your friends, yourselves. This event is free to attend. We do welcome donations on the door. Food and drink available to purchase throughout the night.
Free parking is available 2 mins from the venue, until 8am the next morning.
The Broomfield Tavern, 14-16 Broomfield Place, Earlsdon Coventry CV5 6GY.
Meet at 6.30pm. Chanting: 7pm to 6am 1 hour of silence 6am-7am
Wednesday 14 November 2012 (finishes Thursday 15 November)
