Chautemsia calcicola, Sinningia 'Gabriel's Horn' and other cool stuff.
This is Siningia 'Gabriel's Horn'. Now this is a cool Sinningia. The calyx is modified so that it appears to have a double set of petals. As you can see the color is quite spectacular.
The 'tiny twins....' Here is Sinningia 'White Sprite' and it's pal, Sinningia 'Moon Ray'. Both are very tiny plants with very tiny blooms. Look how small the flowers are in comparison to the plant label in the photo. This is the adult, full size plant..... even if you live in a closet, you probably have room for a few of these Sinningias.

4-year-old Justin Otero banned from doughnut shop for asking woman if she's pregnant
MONROE, CT - A young boy in Monroe, Connecticut was banned from his favorite doughnut shop because of a question he asked.
Four-year-old Justin Otero is a curious guy. But his curiosity got him in some hot water at the Doughnut Inn.
There was a customer there and he asked her if she had a baby in her belly. She said no and he said I'm sorry.
"It looked like she was pregnant and I asked her if she was pregnant," said Justin.
Justin's mom Rebecca Denham was mortified.
"My response was 'oh my goodness, I'm so embarrassed, I'm so sorry.'"
But they say thankfully, the woman shrugged it off. She said no problem and told them she gets it all the time with the kids at nursery school.
But the managers at Doughnut Inn weren't as forgiving, because when Rebecca and Justin walked in Wednesday morning, the longtime daily customers were allegedly told to leave.
"She said, 'He's not allowed in here,' and I looked around, and said, 'him?' And she said 'yeah, he's rude.'"
After Rebecca explained this to Justin, and she says he gets it, sort of but true to form, he's still asking questions.
Somebody got mad because, he's really not very nice.
The manager and owner at Doughnut Inn had no comment. Now, the mother and son are planning to take their business elsewhere while using this as a learning lesson for the four year old.
"Some people, unfortunately are quick to pass judgment, and therefore we will take our money and business elsewhere," said Rebecca.

The Mahoning County Democratic Party will start collecting signatures Saturday for a proposed referendum on the November ballot to repeal a new law that restricts collective-bargaining rights for public employees.
Those wanting to sign the petitions can do so by going to party headquarters, 3321 Mahoning Ave. in Youngstown, every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. until early June.
Those wanting to be trained as to how to circulate petitions to repeal the new law can go to party headquarters today from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Also, We Are Ohio, the organization spearheading the effort, will hold a training session from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday at the Lemon Grove Cafe, 122 W. Federal St. in Youngstown.
Senate Bill 5 doesn't stand a chance of being repealed. The repeal will go down, just like the majority of the tax levies that are on the ballot. The tax payers are already fed up and once a few television commercials start to air about specific examples of how the greedy public sector workers have pillaged the struggling taxpayers, the vote to repeal won't even be close. The greedy public sector workers have added the straw that broke the camel's back. The current system is unsustainable. There are very few, if any, things that the government can do more effectively than the private sector. Personally, I don't care if an entrepeneur can make a fair profit if it results in lower costs to the taxpayers. Once SB 5 is in place the next step is to start outsourcing the majority of these public sector jobs to the private sector, where they belong.
I agree with both comments. Let's just pray that other citizens of Ohio see the light too.
Let's see, what can the government do more effectively than the private sector? roads, sewer, water, education (particularly primary and secondary), national security, regional security, local security, food safety, parks, health insurance, social security/basic pensions, high-tech research (conducted at the university level), environmental protection, unemployment insurance, human and civil rights protection.
Yeah, seems like few and far between to me.
Are you conservatives naturally that unaware of things, or do you intentionally ignore your surroundings?
300 no they are just a bunch of bed wetters that have to have some body to blame for their failures in life or are afraid to stand up for their rights . Some times I think these cry babies are why they made Depends.
They can not get a head in life so somebody must be at fault . So lets pick on the workers who has the guts to stand up for thier rights to a good life.
For anyone who wonders why we have to get rid of collective bargaining for the public sector read this. When stuff like this appears on a television commercial, Senate Bill 5 will never be repealed.

Methinks the anti-labor crowd doth protest too much. SB 5 will go down in a landslide, because SB#5=BS#1.
I can't wait to go down and sign the petition. Surely there has to be other ways to balance the budget rather than taking away from the middle class working person.
I don't get it.These same anti union fools will stick up for millionaires and billionaires,but someone making a little bit more,they will always put down.
No one ever stopped you people from getting one of these jobs, unless you were just too lazy.

For several years, there has been talk of a
new county animal
Many people have asked what is being done in
order to get this shelter up and running.
The Animal
Welfare League (AWL) hopes to
initiate fundraising in order to construct a
new shelter.
A caring donor donated a tract of land some
time ago for the purpose of building a
facility to house and care for the many
homeless animals in Washington County.
A new facility will eliminate the
risk of animals suffering and possibly
dying, as they have at the present shelter
in Leland.
It is our hope and mission that the
Animal Welfare League can
raise $800,000.00 to construct a building
for the use to care for the homeless animals
in Washington County.
This is going to be impossible without YOUR
help. We plan to hold
fundraisers and take online donations, but
we need the support of the community.
Once completed, the volunteer's time can be
spent caring for the
cats and dogs.
The majority of the
animals need medical care, and ALL of the
animals MUST BE spayed or neutered BEFORE
they will be allowed to leave the facility.
Volunteers then work to find them
good, permanent homes.
There will be an end to the puppies
freezing to death and even being stolen at
the present facility.

The Dodgers today announced the placement of A.J. Ellis on the 15-day disabled list and the recall of catcher Tim Federowicz from Triple-A Albuquerque.
Ellis was injured rounding third base during the seventh inning of Saturday's loss against the Giants according to sources.
He underwent a 20-minute arthroscopic procedure today performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache to debride the medial meniscus of his left knee.
Ellis is expected to be out four to six weeks.
Taking Ellis' spot on the roster is Federowicz who will be the team's starting backstop.
Federowicz was optioned to Triple-A on March 22nd, but traveled with the Dodgers to Australia for the exhibition and regular season games against the Diamondbacks.
He remained with Los Angeles during the Freeway Series that concluded Spring Training.
The 26-year old appeared in one game for Alburquerque, going 0-for-2 with a walk.
Drew Butera made the Dodger roster as the team's backup catcher. With a career batting average of .180 in 500 Major League at bats, Butera is likely to remain in the backup role.
In 56 games with the Dodgers last season, Federowicz hit .231 with four home runs and 16 runs batted in.
Federowicz came to the Dodgers in a trade deadline deal in 2011 and made his Big League debut later that season.

Newschannel 7's Kristy Wolski left Panama City at 5:30 a.m. Wednesday on a bus loaded with teachers, support staff and students from Bay and Gulf counties. Their packed schedule included the rally on the capitol steps and meetings with local legislators to get answers on the one cent sales tax for education.
Pennies piled in from all over the state. 2.6 million of them: representing each child in Florida's public school system. Now educators must garner support for the tax from lawmakers.
"I support it. I actually do, which isn't real popular all over this place. The reason I support it is for the very reason that it does make it more equitable. Everyone shares with one cent," said Rep. Marti Coley, (R) Marianna.
But Representative Coley says she's not sure others agree.
"I don't know that that will pass at the end of the day, but I think we're looking at every way," said Coley.
Senator Don Gaetz says he's working on his own plan.
"I'm working with some other senators and leadership in Senate, as well as the House to try to craft some sort of a proposal that would give the people of Florida the opportinity to decide if they would like to add a penny sales tax," said Sen. Don Gaetz, (R) Niceville.
Representative Jimmy Patronis spoke with the group, but would not say whether he'd support a penny sales tax.
"We represent those children that do not have a vote and we just want to know that our legislators are going to support those little people," said one Bay Co. educator to Rep. Patronis.
"You've got our most precious investment. There's no 2 ways about it. The better a job you do, the less our corrections facilities have to deal with so, hey, I get it. I get it," replied Rep. Jimmy Patronis, (R) Panama City.
The educators hope lawmakers will hear their pleas.
"The bottom line is as we tell our kids all the time actions speak louder than words. So as they were listening to what we were saying they listened intently which is what we want our kids to do al lthe time in the classrooms. But we have to see the results and they're going to have to do something on the legislative floor to show us that they really do support public education," said Lora McCalister-Cruel, Mosley High Teacher.
The local educators say they will continue calling and writing our legislators throughout the rest of the session. They just hope it makes a difference.

Written by AZoM
The findings, which could expand commercial and industrial applications of nanotube materials, appear in the monthly journal ACS Nano.
Stephen Cronin and colleagues point out that nanotubes - barely 1/50,000th the width of a human hair - have been renowned for exceptional strength, high electrical conductivity, and other properties. Nanotubes can stretch considerably like toffee before breaking. This makes them ideal for a variety of futuristic applications, even, if science fiction ever become reality, as cables in "space elevators" that lift objects from the Earth's surface into orbit.
To resolve uncertainties about the actual strength of nanotubes, the scientists applied immense tension to individual carbon nanotubes of different lengths and widths. They found that nanotubes could be stretched up to 14 percent of their normal length without breaking, or more than twice that of previous reports by others. The finding establishes "a new lower limit for the ultimate strength of carbon nanotubes," the article noted.

Chris Botti: La Belle Dame Sans Regrets
La Belle Dame Sans Regrets
Chris Botti (trumpet)
When I Fall in Love (Columbia CK 92872)
Chris Botti (trumpet),
and a large orchestra featuring Sting (vocals), Dominic Miller (guitar), Dean Parks (guitar), Billy Childs (piano), Gil Goldstein (accordion), Brian Bromberg (bass), Vinnie Colaiuta (drums), Paulinho Da Costa (percussion).
Composed by Dominic Miller & Sting. Arranged by Gil Goldstein.
Recorded: Los Angeles and New York, September 28, 2004
Rating: 94/100 (learn more)
During the original mid-'60s bossa nova craze, Brazilian Portuguese was the lingua franca. Despite being understood worldwide by a fifth as many people as English, the native tongue was part of the mystique, as with Swedish cinema. Four decades later, English pop star Sting writes and sings a lovely bossa nova in—no, still not English, but French! The good news is that the Harmon mute has made it into the new millennium. Chris Botti, the most angelic-looking trumpeter since a young Chet Baker, is such a divine Harmon-izer that the mute's sleepless 19th-century inventor, John F. Stratton, may at last rest in peace.

Away the lads
by Sunderland AFC
Skipper proud of another sell-out away following.
A sell out away crowd will give be backing Gus Poyet's side as the Black Cats travel to Fulham at the weekend, on the back of three home games in six days.
More than 1,800 Sunderland fans will make the 564-mile round trip to the capital, making a total of 1,564 miles covered to support their team away from home in the last 14 days.
Sunderland captain John O'Shea said: "We have had exceptional support home and away all season and all the lads really appreciate it.
"It's great when you can hear the Sunderland fans singing in any ground we play in. They have been great."
As part of a Premier League-wide initiative to encourage more away support, SAFC gave season card holders a discount of £10 off the cost of their match ticket for the clash at Craven Cottage, having already offered discounts for this season's Barclays Premier League away games against West Ham United, Stoke City and Swansea City.
The club has also confirmed plans to offer further discounts on tickets for season card holders attending away games against Liverpool, Norwich City, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea later this season. Further details on ticket prices and how to apply will be announced in due course.
A Sunderland season card holder attending these away fixtures will be able to enjoy a saving of £80 over the course of the season, thanks to the initiative.
Sunderland have also discounted tickets for the forthcoming Tyne-Wear derby by £20, in addition to those games discounted under the Premier League scheme. The club has sold out of its full allocation of tickets for the fixture.

In the end, it's possible for manager Kirk Gibson to have his wish.
That is, Gibson has a penchant to play as many players as possible and eschewing the notion of creating a set line-up with a set batting order.
Invariably, he tells reporters that his aspiration is to circulate players and keep them ready and prepared. Now with injured outfielders returning to the lineup and the emergence of talent from the minor leagues, Gibson faces the mission of having his wish to spread playing time among players as well as try and construct a productive lineup.
"I plan to rotate players and try and give everyone playing time," Gibson said before Saturday's game with the Cubs in Chase Field. "Guys are coming back and I want to make room."
When Mark Trumbo went down with a fractured right foot in late April, he missed 72 games and currently, A. J. Pollock is recovering from a broken right hand. Pollock has been out since May 31 and that's when a pitch from the Reds' Johnny Cueto landed the D-backs' cenetrfielder on the disabled list.
The projection is for Pollock to return around August 1 and Trumbo was activated just before the All-Star game.
Their return presents a traffic jam in the gardens. That's because the Diamondbacks called up outfielders David Peralta on June 1 and Ender Inciarte on April 30 to fill the Trumbo/Pollock void. Both have performed admirably but the edge could be given to Peralta.
Coming into play Saturday, Peralta was hitting .326 (45-for-138) in 37 games and drew the praise of Gibson for his desire to address his defensive game.
"David is here because of his hitting but he is eager to improve his glove," Gibson said. "He's quick to learn and wants to learn. We're working with him on his approach to the ball and proper positioning of his body."
While Gibson admits Inciarte is a better centerfielder, Peralta, during the absence of Pollock, has patrolled the middle. More suited as a corner outfielder, Peralta will continue to get playing time, Gibson assures, and notes others must be in the mix as well.
That would include Cody Ross, now in the second year of a 3-year, $26 million deal. The Diamondbacks still hope to receive value from the 33-year-old native of Portales, New Mex. Slowed by a dislocated hip sustained his season, Ross has been sluggish to regain a full-time stature but Gibson assures listeners that Ross is very much on the D-backs' radar screen.
"With Cody, we don't want to push him too hard," the manager acknowledged. "He's still rehabbing and we want to be sure he can be productive."
That leaves Gerardo Parra essentially as the right fielder of choice but given Gibson desire to spread playing time, it's likely the manager will create a rotation favorable to his desire "to keep guys fresh."
Shortstop Chris Owings, out since June 26 with a left shoulder strain, has been shut down for the next few days.
His rehabilitation program on hold for the foreseeable future, manager Kirk Gibson told reporters before Saturday's contest with the Cubs that "Owings is close."
While Gibson offered no immediate timetable for Owings return, the shortstop responsibilities are now divided between Didi Gregorius and Nick Ahmed. At this point, Gregoruis is considered the better hitter and Ahmed the better fielder.
At the time of his injury, Owings led National League rookies in several offensive categories and sported a .277 (66-for-238) batting average with 15 doubles, six triples, six home runs and 21 RBIs.

Being neither a Mum nor an American, I spent my first year of blogging watching enviously as other women trooped off to blogging conferences and the like, tweeted about it for weeks before and and then wrote great posts afterwards on what a fabulous time they'd had and how all the secrets of blogging had been unlocked for them in a single day.
And about how lovely the cake was.
There are a couple of events that are open to a wider audience this year, and the first was in Birmingham yesterday.
These are my 10 Things I Learned at BlogCamp.
1 – Be the most You that you can be. We need to have strong voices and develop our own style and tone, right down to key words and phrases. Writing the way we speak is a great way to start. The early part of blogging (when very few people are reading) is a great time to experiment with different styles.
Look at dooce.com and the Waterstones Oxford Street twitter feed for great examples.
2 – Have a view. Don't do 'opinion' pieces that cover off all the sides of the argument; express personal thoughts and encourage people to debate with us. Much better to give that debate a strong starting point and let people react.
3 – Snarking about things that are really current, from current tabloid news and what brands like Starbucks or Sainsburys are doing this week, through to what's happening on the tv screen right now, is a great way to engage with people and have fun. Snarking about real people (even if they're celebs) or about things you're really bothered about, is where it's more likely to get upsetting and difficult to take – so those of us who are on the delicate side need to steer away from that stuff. And snarking isn't the same as moaning.
4 – Creating e-courses about creativity and personal growth are lots of work to set up, but a great way to connect people (and a fairly strong source of income if done well as an offshoot of a successful blog).
5 – Great e-courses use a mix of video, written pieces, slideshows, community support and prompts / 'homework'. Leading real-life training sessions is a great way to develop some teaching skills.
See Camtasia software for recording the computer screen and talking through instructions at the same time.
6 – Google is totally fine with websites linking to each other; that's how the web works. Google's also fine with links being sold, but they must be set to 'nofollow'. This is clear in Google's terms and conditions, and it's a big risk for anyone who wants google to recognise and rank their site. (Linking anywhere shares a bit of our Google pagerank with wherever we're linking to. Adding nofollow stops that happening).
7 – PRs building brand awareness are likely to be totally fine with nofollow. SEO people are providing keywords and pages to link to; they're less likely to want nofollow links (and there will always be new bloggers who are willing to give follow links in return for payment).
8 – Blogs need to be really simple for people to find, follow and share. Marketing has to be part of what any blogger does, so going along to relevant events, promoting the blog wherever possible and making sure that it's easy to navigate are important. If we're wanting contact from PR people, we need to make it simple for them to find our email and get in touch.
9 – Lots of us are quite sniffy about using press releases to inspire content because we don't want to be doing that stuff for free. To bloggers from journalism backgrounds in traditional media, it's really normal to take content ideas from a range of sources – and press releases can be a great part of that.
10 – PR people have all sorts of spooky ways of analysing who's being inflential online, what their followers are interested in and who's talking about the things that relate to their product. They're fine with being approached by bloggers (although not just for samples and free stuff), and are open to talking about new ways to present content about their products.
I have an eleventh point as well, which I guess would only apply to a few people. Mike was a BlogCamp participant too (he's been doing a photo-blog this year, and he's come away with loads of ideas). It was great to have someone to be with, but that was a bit too safe and I didn't throw myself into mixing with other people. I'm kicking myself about that now, as I know that part of the point is to get involved in the community of bloggers. I think that's what we call in youth work my "better for next time".
The event was great. The points above were a struggle to cut down to 10. I'm stupidly grateful for having had the chance to be among fellow bloggers for a day. Thanks to Sally and her team for putting it all together.

Thomas Monson, leader of the Mormon Church, has been ordered to appear before a British court to answer charges of fraud. Monson, considered a "prophet, seer and revelator" in the 15 million-member Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is accused of making statements he knows to be factually untrue in order to secure tithes from church members, according to a Washington Post report issued Feb. 5.
Late last week a district judge in Westminster Magistrates' Court of London issued a summons to Monson to appear before the court on March 14 to answer charges alleging that his church's teachings about mankind are fraudulent. Asking members of the Mormon Church to make contributions while promoting theological doctrines which "might be untrue or misleading" could be a breach of the Fraud Act of 2006.
Raw Story reports court records show the facts in question are tenets of the Mormon faith, including that Joseph Smith translated The Book of Mormon from ancient gold plates, that Native Americans are descendants of a family of Israelites, and that death didn't exist on this planet until 6,000 years ago.
The charges of fraud and subsequent summons stems from legal action initiated by Tom Phillips, a former Mormon bishop and stake president who now runs MormonThink, a website which is critical of the church.
The Mormon Church dismissed the summons as containing "bizarre allegations" and signaled that Monson has no plans to attend.

In times where the waters are anything but still, one needs a hell of a fine boat to sail through them. That's why umnavio's name (one ship) is so fit for its purposes. Formed and based in Uberlandia, MG, umnavio picture the basic idea of having a band: four friends who happen to love music and want to make it together. They work with a very underappreciated formula but take it to a whole new level. The single "Descanso", which is a live session, reminds oneself of the times when the word indie meant something special, creative, original and visceral; their ep, 2009's "Sete Coisas Que a Gente Guarda no Bolso", out by Cheder Records, it's a compilation of truly amazing songs. Outstanding lyrics, very emotional singing, pure and raw feeling. With deserved media, the record might open the door for many other great musical acts hidden and crushed under a widely ignorant concept of what popular rock music is.
"Sete coisas..." is structured in seven songs (and one bonus track) named quite simply yet the titles are richly illustrated by the words. It can be thought of as conceptual. It's just one of the many ways to look at it. Some magazines linked them to bands like Cap n' Jazz and a few of the so called "real emo" scene, the one which boomed in the 90's, long time before the term Emo started being regarded as it is today. However, that statement can be easily put to test. At most, it can be related to exquisite underground bands in Brazil, such as Polara, the late-great College, Gigante Animal (whom they toured with) and many others but, even though they're great groups, umnavio has that special something that it's been missing from brazilian pop rock scene. For them, music comes first. That's crystal clear as soon as you play the first track. It's unawarely popular. It's evolution.
The band is currently on hiatus when it comes to live gigs but are expected to release a new EP in early 2011. It will be tough to match "Sete Coisas..." quality and, as lead singer/guitarrist Lucas Vasconcelos said, they're "still trying to write a song better than Descanso". As worried as he might be, though, there's no trouble there. The follow up should be better or, at least, just as good. As for a full-lenght, the quartet is taking their time at the sea.
In this dark era music has been experiencing, umnavio refuse to walk the plank, they'd rather shine a light on a scenario that can redefine what pop-rock is. So, climb up your local lighthouse, mate, and keep an eye on the horizon. This ship has come to make port.

College Hockey:For Yale, the importance of being in the moment
PITTSBURGH — To fans watching the game, the Frozen Four is a championship tournament that punctuates the end of the college hockey season. For the players, though, it's more complex than that. They're trying to win a national championship. They're dealing with being on a media stage. They're keenly aware that these are the last games of the season.
Yet the Yale Bulldogs remain loose and relaxed in spite of it all, a quality that was obvious when they played in the West Regional in Grand Rapids, Mich. Freshman forward Charles Orzetti said that the team understands the importance of keeping it in perspective.
"I think it starts with having a good dynamic," Orzetti said. "We get along well and we're playing well so we have some confidence, too. It kind of balances out. The focus and being able to enjoy our time at the rink, plus this is our last couple days of the year here, so we're trying to enjoy every last second of it."
Like Quinnipiac, Yale brings a sizable freshman class to the Frozen Four, a tournament than can easily overwhelm more veteran guys. Orzetti said that he and his classmates appreciate the opportunity.
"A lot of people are saying, 'Soak it up,' because of how rare this is, that it doesn't come along," Orzetti said. "I feel lucky as a freshman. A lot of guys go through their four years of college hockey without even making the tournament. As freshmen, the eight of us have already made it to the Frozen Four."
It's not by accident that in recent years, the Frozen Four has seen many of the same teams as participants. This year is an exception to that, of course, but a trip to this tournament can change the course of team's future and the Yale freshmen know that.
"A lot of us have been able to contribute," Orzetti said. "We've all played in some capacity this year. The ice time is going to help us down the road in terms of experience.
"We're happy to be part of this experience and hopefully we can finish up on Saturday and in the next three years take that forward and keep a winning tradition."

To Discuss Religion With
Our Smarter Counterparts?

Dear Cliff
I just read the article of Christ in our constitution.
Some of these Christians will do anything to convince people of their sad excuse for living and elementary dogmas. I am just glad that there are intellectuals like you who open the curtains to their falsehood and bigotry. I just want to let you know that I truly envy you simply because I am 21 and already burned on this whole thing, yet you persist and show their deceits and low blows.
Keep at it and email me when you get more irritating letters. It's funny because most of the fundamentalists do not believe in evolution, yet if you weigh their intellect, I would honestly rather discuss religion with our smarter counterparts the apes and chimpanzees. I think we found the missing link. They are still among us and they carry bibles.
Lotsa Love from San Diego
Amir Karkouti
P.S. I still want to know what you think about eastern philosophy such as Taoism and the teachings of Lao-Tzu. I am really enjoying some of the books I am reading. I Would value your outlook tremendously.

Lao-Tzu was not exclusivistic and therefore not dangerous. That's all I really know about it. You might want to check out pantheism in our search engine and read some of the letters we've received from pantheists. Our FAQ article is slated for revision, so take it with salt if you read it at all.
If you demand of yourself that all claims about reality must be verifiable (that is, likewise, in principle, falsifiable), and if you suspend judgement on any claims about reality that cannot at least in concept be shown false, you do well. The rest is poetry, which can prompt wonderful insights and can bring you to places that reality could never touch. Some poets portray their poetry as descriptions of reality, but this portrayal is, itself, poetry, and is, I think, part of the imagery; I call this poetry "mythology." Distinguishing science from poetry is a useful skill, and takes lots of practice for many but not all people.

Cool book Kyle,
I was always curious about the experience in Korea compared to what I had in Japan and this does a wonderful job of expressing it. It's also somewhat of a coincidence that we both lived in the Niagara region!

Stanford, CA - The No. 1 UCLA women's water polo team began MPSF tournament play this evening with a convincing 12-3 win over the Rainbow Wahine. The Bruins, who are seeded third in the tournament, move to 20-3 overall and advance to tomorrow's semi-final game against USC.
UCLA scored first with a goal from freshman Kelly Rulon with just over five minutes remaining in the first period. Following Rulon's goal, three straight goals from junior Natalie Golda would put the Bruins up 4-0 before a Hawaii goal made it 4-1. However, sophomore Kristyn Pulver would score with seconds remaining in the period to give UCLA the 5-1 lead. In the second period a Hawaii goal in the opening minute of the period was countered by a goal from senior Maureen Flanagan. Another goal from Golda and one from freshman Kristina Kunkel would put the Bruins up 8-2. After a Hawaii goal made it 8-3, another goal from Kunkel with thirty-one seconds remaining made it 9-3 UCLA at half. The second half would be a defensive contest between the two teams, as the Bruins would get goals from Pulver, Kunkel and senior Devon McIntyre while holding the Rainbow Wahine scoreless to earn the 12-3 victory.
Tomorrow's game against USC will be at 7:15 PM. The winner will advance to the championship game to face the winner of the Stanford-Long Beach State match.

LOS ANGELES-Across the street from Union Station a crowd gathered to disrupt the finely tuned downtown Los Angeles traffic that arrived to see the commotion caused by Mexico's sensation Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Riverside's Josesito Lopez on Tuesday.
People packed the barricades surrounding the makeshift stage Golden Boy Promotions erected.
The L.A.-based promoters Oscar De La Hoya and Richard Schaefer explained why Lopez (30-4, 18 KOs) is the next opponent for the undefeated Canelo (40-0-1, 29 KOs) on Sept. 15 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Showtime will televise the world title fight and three others of the fight card called Knockout Kings.
"I told Canelo to not underestimate Josesito Lopez," said Schaefer before the conference began. "Josesito is a dangerous fighter."
You couldn't tell based on the crowd who mostly cheered and supported Canelo every time his name was mentioned. Lopez did have a few supporters too.
Lopez quieted the crowd once he spoke in Spanish. Many of those present at the public press conference seemed surprised that the Riverside prizefighter is fluent in Spanish. He is also fluent in English.
"I just have to train my hardest," said Lopez. "It's a heavier weight class but I'm going to bring my best."
Jose "Chepo" Reynoso, who trains Canelo, said that he witnessed the Lopez and Victor Ortiz fight and that the Riverside boxer deserves to enter the ring against his fighter.
"He raised his hand to fight Victor Ortiz and now he's raised his hand to fight Canelo," said Reynoso. "Besides, there will be two Mexicans in the ring and you know what that means."
Canelo's promoter Golden Boy Promotions had promised the redhead that he would fight on Mexican Independence Day. They're fulfilling their promise despite Top Rank setting the same date for Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. against Argentina's Sergio Martinez pay-per-view date. The Golden Boy show will not be pay-per-view but on regular Showtime.
"We'll see who has more viewers that day," Schaefer said.
Three other top fights will take place, with Marcos Maidana in a welterweight match against Mexico's Jesus Soto Karass; WBC featherweight titleholder Jhonny Gonzalez fighting Daniel Ponce De Leon and several other match ups.
"I like fighting chingons," said Maidana, about facing Soto Karass.
Ponce De Leon said he's been waiting patiently for a world title fight for many years and is happy the day will arrive.
"I was the number one contender for different organizations but never got the title opportunity," said Ponce De Leon who faces Gonzalez. "Jhonny Gonzalez is a good rival."
The main focus will be on Canelo defending the WBC junior middleweight title. Can Lopez slip the rug from another former or current world champion?
"People can say he's just a welterweight and people can say he never fought in the big stage, but do you remember when I fought Manny Pacquiao and look at what he did to me, he destroyed me," said De La Hoya bluntly to the large crowd. "Inside that squared circle you never know what's going to happen…Josesito Lopez has the desire and the heart, he is living that Rocky moment."
Canelo always looks calm but seemed even more serious about facing Lopez.
"I'm very happy with this fight. Josesito Lopez earned his shot," said Alvarez. "I'm not going to be too confident, because I know there is no rival that is too small. I'm going to train very hard for this fight."
De La Hoya also added an Ultimate Fighting Championship touch with an announcement that the best knockout of the night by a fighter will be rewarded with an extra $100,000.
The winner will be voted by the fans on AT&T phones.
Tickets for the MGM begin at $25 and stop at $400.
Fans will support anything. When "Lil" Floyd "Jailhouse Junebug" Mayweather gets outta da five-star Sin City Hotel, the fans are going to support him fighting the smaller Danny Garcia. And the sh*t talk that will be going down in that promotion of the bout will be awesome. HBO 24/7 is going to make a KILLIN!'
Pops Joy May and Poppa Angel Garcia are going to get down with their child-arse, stupid-arse racist comments. And I'm bettin' BIG that PJM kick PAG arse in the sh*t talk and racist comments department. I personally know that PJM can get down hardcore.
PJM is bad with his ___ ____ ___ and will even throw in a few rhymes. OMFG! A double arsh-thrashing will occur. Jailhouse Floyd will kick little Petty Boy Danny Boy's arse in dat squared jungle. And FJM will do a JOB on PAG. Hehehehe! Holla!
Those 2 dads will def throw hands before the fight. I would like to see Garcia mayweather just to see the dads go at it
What a sham of a fight. Pick on someone your own size Canelo. Step up fights are available. Kirkland, K9, Cotto,(gasp!) If you want to be the new Golden Boy you have to fight name fighters closer to your own weight class. They can be faded, they just have to be closer to your own weight class. Get with Oscar and talk it out, Oscar did it perfectly. Picking on the 140 pound kid. Tisk tisk.
Maidana vs Soto Karass is gonna be a war....maybe steal the show.
I like this match up for one I ain't overly impressed with Canleo; so that makes me believe JOesito has a better chance than others may think and why not give opportunity the man who beat the man who was scheduled to fight promotional darling to begin with. I also like what I am seeing in the pic. Yeah , Canelo's thicker, but Joseito got some height on him. This is a solid match up. War Riverside!
I agree with SouthPaul. Josesito earned his shot and is hungry. Congratz to Lopez, get'cha paper man. Dueces
Yeah what Ultimo said.
RealTalk .... Josesito certainly will do his part because that's how grow em' in Riverside.
But fans are not appreciatin' Canello still cutting his teeth on junior welters and welters into his 3rd or 4th defense in the 154lb div.
Golden Boy just knows what they can get away with and have no shame pulling it off.
Otherwise.. it could be intertaining from a casual perspective.
If I have The opportunity to watch any boxing on Sept 15th.... best believe I'll be recording this one and watching Sergio Live...lol.
Thats whatimsaying, Real Talk, paper chase if you're Josesito. I love it. As far as which fight to watch that night.. I'm going with the freebie. Both fun match ups but I can't be paying for one when the other is free. Fudddddggggeee all that noise. In fact, all fans should step up and make a statement And say... We tired of all these PPVs... Now we got something to choose that weekend and it's free if you got Showtime. Think about it.
Also, some of the weight differences are overstated. Even Josesito made mention of it. Claims he walks around way above the division he came out of for the Ortiz bout. I hear Ortiz and Garcia split? Something tells me it's Ortiz' passive aggressive personality making life hard on that relationship. Anyhow, Ortiz should hire Joe Goosen. That would be a good fit. Maybe.
@SouthPaul, the split is a reality and ditto Vicious Victor's passive-aggressive behavior makes it hard for him to maintain relationships. It was just a matter of time for he and Danny G to split. VVO should hire TSSU Super Reader of The Year, Doc Mortcola. VVO seriously need the counseling of a shrink. Hehehe! Holla!
Lmao I just envisioned Dr Phil giving Ortiz cornerman instructions. Seriously though I think Joe Goosen would be a fun fit for that job. Joe sorta got that laid back surfer chill personality. They may mesh well. Great trainer too. Be fun to see. Someone out here link these two up!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

been busy but need to get back to it!!!!
Sunday, May 26, 2013
ok so I know I haven't spent too much time around here this past month, I have been on holiday and working on the house. But I have also not been following my diet plan. I have been constantly on the move but that really isn't enough. we have managed to do a lot to the house we now have moved a couple of the walls and made a large hole in the sitting room ceiling and then built a staircase and so can now get into the loft6 without a ladder, which is good, I really don't like climbing ladders!!! so the next step is clearing all the junk in the loft then strengthening the beams and then we can lay a floor!!!
I am just sorry the weather was not better while I have been off so that I could have gone walking, I had hoped to walk most of the higher hills on Harris while I have been off but the weather has been awful. not just wet but also very windy! I did manage to do my 5k run in aid of cancer research a week yesterday in dry weather which was good.
I know that we are almost at the end of the month and that next month I want to do better than I have this month - not only have I not lost any weight but I think.. (I dare not weigh myself) have put back on all that I have lost over the past two months!! I know that I can't get into my size 14uk jeans that I was wearing when I went into hospital on the first... this is not good. HELP people!!!

Green House Coffeeshop took top honors at the 19th Cannabis Cup. A record number of judges voted and the results went down to the wire. A mere seven votes separated Green House from Barneys for the coveted Cannabis Cup.
The big surprise, however, was the Seed Company competion.
Big Budha Cheese for Big Budha Seeds won best Indica, and Mako Haze from Kiwi Seeds took best Sativa in the Seed Company Competition. It was the first award for both companies.
Barneys took the most awards, winning three Cup. More details to come soon.


text: Measuring Made Easy - The Dipstick Trick Late one night at the hazy end of our homebrew club's annual holiday party after many samples of homebrew, we were feeling free enough to share what we each hated about homebrewing. "Measuring" was our loud, slightly slurred, complaint. To which a brewing genius replied, "Why don't you just use a dipstick?" After we figured out he wasn't insulting us, we listened intently as he explained. "Get an eighteen-inch plastic brewing spoon (that you'll use for brewing anyway), then pour known amounts of water into your brew pot to 'calibrate' the spoon as a dipstick. Notch the spoon with a knife or mark it with a permanent marker at ½-gallon intervals as far as you need to." Voilà! No more measuring and pouring (for the most part)! The suggestion was duh simple but so perfect.

Image Comics co-founder Rob Liefeld stepped aboard the CBR News yacht to confront the elephant in the room that is the long-delayed "Image United" before discussing his and Robert Kirkman's "The Infinite," its origins and his excitement for the title.
Liefeld also goes into detail about the current chapter of his career, his newfound enthusiasm and increased artistic output and digital comics piracy.
Finally, the creator gets into his contribution to DC Comics' New 52 as the artist on "Hawk and Dove," the reason he requested Sterling Gates specifically as the series writer and more.
As an aside, I fully admit that I download comics online as a pirate, BUT I go to my comic store every wednesday and buy physical copies. u00a0I just want a digital copy as well. u00a0The idea of paying for a digital copy when I paid for a physical copy is annoying to me. u00a0I like the idea of what they are doing with Justice League bundle and including the digital copy for an extra dollar, and I'm going to pick that version up. u00a0nnI still don't think it should cost that extra dollar, and it should be included for free, but for now I'll deal with it.
He makes awesome comics AND does a great McFarlane!
wtf? he's the most laughed at artist there is!
For F's sake, Liefeld is a great artist with a very distinct style. Laugh if you like, but undeniablyu00a0Liefeld has a style that has always been instantaneously recognizible, andu00a0was trend-setting and oft-imititated. And,u00a0dare I point out, a commercial success. u00a0I wish I could draw 1% as well as Liefeld. Maybe he isn't your cup of tea friend, and maybe he is guilty of some egotism at times, but perhaps a lot of it is just defensiveu00a0reaction to unappreciative arm-chair critics always hacking on him. and I see no shortage of creators wanting to work with him. Yes, he does awesome comics.
LMFAO! The guy redraws the same two f'n poses since way back when, and never draws a background, while the proportions of all his characters are so off to the point it's unbearable to even look at. Don't be ridiculous. Not to mention the bs copycat characters he comes up with "fighting american" and "smash" which never saw the light of day because it was a blatant ripoff of Hulk. STFU!
People need to stop feeding this guys ego, he sucks.
20+ years ago he was the shit. u00a0I don't understand the hatred of him. u00a0I still think he does pretty good work. u00a0I think the backlash against him is bigger then the actual problem.
He does really suck, but he's still a cool guy in the interview.
Granted, I don't like his art and his output, but I also don't like Chris Bachalos oru00a0 some of the other artists work out there. So there is no need to hate him, just don't buy his work if you don't like his style. nHe deserves to be acknowledged that he does work at all, unlike most of his spiteful critics.
I don't but any thing by Liefeld, and I have never been a fan.u00a0 But that was a good interview by a man that clearly loves comics.u00a0 I wish Frank Quitely had his momentum!u00a0 Imagine two Quitely books a month!
Liefield is… such a bad artist. Even the people who defend him with zeal fail to see how overrated his 90's run really was. He had commercial success more because of the title of his book than any of his art or stories. Cable was a co-creation and Deadpool, the best thing he contributed to the industry, was made better by future writers and artists.
u00a0″because of the title"?….really?u00a0 That makes no sense…New Mutants was at cancellation level before he started on it.u00a0
Liefeld's a cool guy. u00a0I'll be picking up Hawk and Dove, for sure now. u00a0He does seem to be over extended though. u00a0We shall see!

Liaw, Lashley named to first and second teams, respectively
TUCSON, Ariz. + Four University of Arizona men's golfers were honored with all-Pacific-10 Conference accolades, in voting released recently by the league's head coaches.
Henry Liaw, Nathan Lashley received all-conference honors, while Travis Esway and Kipp Riehle were honorable mention selections. It marks the fifth consecutive season, and the 25th time in the last 27 years, that Arizona has had at least one first team all-conference selection. Since joining the Pac-10 in 1978-79, Arizona golfers have earned a total of 86 all-league accolades with 44 of those being first-team selections.
Liaw, a sophomore from Rowland Heights, Calif., earned first team all-Pac-10 honors for the second straight season after posting a team-leading 71.64 stroke average through 33 rounds played in 2004-05. In 11 stroke play events this year, Liaw has five top-10 finishes and two top-20 efforts. To date, 18 of his 33 rounds played have been at par or better. He posted a one-over 285 to finish in a tie for 14th place at the 2005 Pac-10 Championships on April 27.
Lashley, a senior from Scottsbluff, Neb., earned all-conference honors for the first time in his career after finishing as the runner-up at the 2005 Pac-10 Championships. He carded a 68-72-68-69=277 (-7) to equal a career-best placing and post his fourth top-10 finish of the season.

"This rocking chair was my great grandmother's," says Sara at Thrifty Treasures. "Since it is so special, it is a keeper."
As much as Sara wanted to leave the original finish, repairs made to the chair over the years had taken their toll on it's appearance.For that reason, she didn't feel bad about painting the chair black with homemade chalk paint. Sara recovered the seat with pretty damask in a gray and black print, and added braided trim to match. It looks ready for many more years of use, now.
