College Hockey:Hobart Stops Amherst 2-1 in OT
Statesmen Earn Frozen Four Berth, Rematch with ECAC West Rival Neumann in Lake Placid
AMHERST, Mass. — In the first meeting between Hobart and Amherst since the 2005-06 season, the game started out with both teams looking for a physical match-up and playing things very conservatively.
Both teams were held to early shots from the perimeter, which were easily handled by Amhersts Cole Anderson and Hobart senior Keith Longo, respectively. At the 14:47 mark, Amhersts Eddie Effinger was stopped by Longos quick pads on a rebound attempt at left post.
Offensive chances were limited for both teams but the physical intensity was picking up as the period progressed. Hobarts Christopher Bower took a boarding call at 11:37 of the period but the Statesmen had no problems in containing the Amherst power play with several end-to-end clears.
Just after Bowers penalty expired, Amhersts Shane Lennox went off for cross-checking and Hobart was successful in applying good offensive pressure despite the lack of quality scoring chances.
Just after Lennoxs penalty expired, Bowers made up for his earlier trip to the sin bin by scoring the games first goal. At 16:41 of the period, Hobart continued to pressure the Amherst zone following the end of the penalty and quick passing from linemates Daniel organ and Gregory Alberti set-up Bowers for the shot from the low slot. Anderson got a piece of the puck but not enough as defenseman Lennox swept the puck from behind his netminder but not before it had crossed the line and Hobart had a 1-0 lead.
A hooking call to Hobarts Jordan Zitoun gave the Lord Jeffs another power-play opportunity late in the period but Longo was up to the challenge stopping both Rylan Burns and Eddie Effinger to preserve the lead.
The period ended 1-0 Hobart with shots even for both sides at 13 apiece.
The second period could not have started better for the Statesmen looking to build on their 1-0 advantage. A minor for contact to the head by Amhersts Jason DeGiovanni at the end of the first period gave a power-play opportunity to Hobart to start the second.
An offensive flurry by Hobart as DeGiovannis penalty expired forced Anderson to make three outstanding saves on Moriarty down low. In the resulting scramble Amherst picked up two additional minor penalties to Burns for hooking and Joel Covelli for cross checking giving Hobart a 5-on-3 opportunity for a full two minutes.
The pressure on the Amherst net was immense on the power play with Hobart coming close on a shot that hit the post at 3:09 from the point and another hitting the crossbar after a cross-ice feed to Aleksey Koval in final 10 seconds of penalty. Amherst survived the penalties and just thirty seconds later got even on the scoreboard.
At 5:06 senior Keith Nelson broke down the right side and beat Longo short side off feed from linemate Matthew Rhone and game is tied at 1-1. Captain Jeff Landers picked up the second assist on the play and momentum swung to the home team for a few minutes.
At 6:40 with Hobarts Bobby Cahill off for goaltender interference, Amherst went on the power play. Defenseman Andrew Brennan had a big block of an Eddie Effinger shot at bottom of the circle off a feed from Landers. The Hobart defense and Longo kept things away from the goal and controlled rebounds away from Amherst.
With just under 10 minutes remaining in the period, Hobart again went on the power play when Keith Nelson was called for tripping. Again the Statesmen had great sustained pressure but not much puck luck as they hit another cross bar hit just 20 seconds into the power play. A mad scramble in front of net for the rebound resulted in another minor on Rylan Burns for cross-checking and another two man advantage for Hobart.
Hobarts Patrick Moriarty made a terrific rush that created one testing shot but there were no more serious bids as Nelson coming out of the box, successfully killed a lot of the remaining time on the penalty.
With just 2:38 left in the period, Landers had a great chance walking in from the right point to the slot where he missed high on glove side on Longo who wasnt giving Amherst much to shoot at.
Then with just over two minutes remaining, Hobart defenseman Dan Miller went off for tripping. Longo came up big with a nice left pad save on a drive by Landers at middle point. Another shot from the left circle by Arnold off a feed from Effinger was swallowed up by Longo and Hobart successfully kills off penalty and the game was tied at 1-1 after two periods of play.
Shots for the period were 17-9 in favor of Hobart and for the game Hobart was outshooting the Lord Jeffs 30-22.
The third period started out with both teams hungry to take the lead and looking for every opportunity to beat both netminders who were playing solid for their teams.
With Landers off for cross checking, Hobart had their third 5-on-3 opportunity of the game. A quick back door play just missed at the far post by Moriarty was the best opportunity for the Statesmen on the power play and Amherst survived yet another critical penalty kill.
At the 10 minute mark, Amhersts Brendan Powers stole the puck at the Hobart blueline and moved in for a 2-on-1 bid resulting in a hard shot off a bouncing puck on Longo who held his angle and the puck keeping the score tied.
Both teams were pushing the puck looking for quality chances in the final five minutes. Hobarts Blake Bonham forced Anderson to make a big save at the right post of a feed by Zitoun with just over two minutes in regulation and down the other end, Vickers was stoned by Longo on a shot to the short side off a feed from behind the goal.
With less than five seconds to play, Hobarts Matthew Wallace had a great bid down the slot that was stopped by Anderson and the game was headed to overtime.
Shots favored Amherst in the third period 9-7 but Hobart held the advantage after regulation by a 37-31 margin.
It didnt take long for things to heat up in the overtime session.
Less than 30 seconds into overtime Tom Capalbo for Hobart had a chance on a wrap-around effort for Hobart that Anderson stuffed at the post. Not even thirty seconds later, Anderson makes his best save of the game off point blank shot by Blake Bonham to keep Amherst alive.
Amherst had their chances as well with Joel Covelli snapping a rebound from a left point shot by Mike Baran that was stopped by Longo. Powers again was stopped by Longo on 2-on-1 play off a transition play out of the neutral zone with just over eight minutes played in OT.
Hobart continued to cycle low and create pressure in the Amherst end as a shot by Hobarts Matthew Wallace was blocked by Anderson and the dangerous rebound was swatted out of rink by a diving Effinger.
At 11:40 of overtime, senior Jason Merritt picked Jeff Landers pocket deep in the Amherst zone and quickly pivoted to fire a shot on Anderson that beat the stunned netminder through the five hole and crept into the net for the overtime winner advancing Hobart to the Frozen Four and a rematch with Neumann, an upset winner of number one seeded Plattsburgh by a score of 5-4 in OT.
Amherst finished their season at 22-5-1 having suffered their first defeat on home ice this season.
This was a great game, noted Hobart coach Mark Taylor. We didnt get too concerned about the missed opportunities on the power play–if you are hitting posts, you must be doing some things right. We stressed perseverance on defense and tenacity on offense and it worked out for us. We knew this game would be tight and our kids played really well against a very good team.
Senior Jason Merritt who scored the game winner beamed as he thought about next weeks trip to the Frozen Four. We played our game: Hobart hockey. This is such a great group, a close knit group that gets along great. The seniors remember the Frozen Four back in 2006 but we want to make our own memories with this team and it will be great to play against Neumann next Friday night.

George Zimmerman may be one of the most hated people in the world, but that has not stopped him from trying to stay in the spotlight. According to a Jan 30 story published by TMZ, he has agreed to a celebrity boxing match. While there are a countless number of people that are wanting to fight him, his opponent has not been announced.
The event is the brainchild of Damon Feldman. Feldman is a world renowned boxing promoter, and he has offered Zimmerman money to square off against another combatant. Unfortunately for George, guns will not be allowed in the match. However, this may not be a problem. According to sources, George Zimmerman has become obsessed with training for his boxing match.
Many of the details about the fight are still being finalized. However, there are a couple of facts that are known. Sources close to the event state that Zimmerman would be willing to fight a black person, but the promoter is not looking to make it a "race thing". The other piece of information available about the event is that George Zimmerman's winnings will be donated to charity.

The Taiwanese are among some of the friendliest people I have met. I am sure that a lot has been written about the tourist attractions in Taiwan; therefore, I thought I'd write about one of my favorite neighborhoods and haunts, a few people I have been fortunate enough to meet, and some of my reflections on the concept of "place." In Tianmu, which is at the northern end of Taipei, there is a three-story bar, cafe, gallery and restaurant called "Lili" (No. 760, Sec. 6, Zhongshan N. Rd.) owned by Lily Wen and her husband Patrick Lee. Lily happens to be the deputy general manager of "Isabelle Wen" — one of the most prominent fashion houses in Taiwan. Patrick, on the other hand, is an accomplished artist whose work can perhaps be described as pop art with Chinese elements. The establishment itself is tastefully designed. If you were to visit it, you will not fail to notice a painting entitled "Time to Have a Drink" hanging on one of its walls. It is a screen printing of Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek standing together with a bottle of beer between them. It is a light-hearted piece which also functions as a political commentary. Besides serving great food and drinks, the establishment also features a fine staff — many of whom speak fluent English. A "place" is oftentimes not only a particular position in space, but also a portion of space occupied someone. You can speak of Paris by describing the Eiffel tower, which can be seen as an axis to which the city below is arranged — those who have stood upon it and looked down will understand what I mean; however, it is, needless to say, not enough to speak about Paris by describing its monuments only. Similarly, it is not enough to speak about Taipei by describing Taipei 101 or any other tourist attraction. We have a tendency to think of the word "nation" as a designation for a territory defined by geographical and political boundaries; however, the word actually refers to an aggregate of people — with a common heritage — who inhabit a territory. When I think of Taiwan, I think of the people who inhabit the island. When I think of Taipei, I think of the people who live in the city. Tianmu is a not only a place in Taipei, but also a community of people. The French term "flaneur," which was conceptually redefined by Baudelaire in the 19th century, is a combination of two things — an observer and a participant. As a foreigner in Taipei, one is (in a sense) not only apart from the city, but also, at the same time, a part of it. It is not enough to observe it from a detached perspective; one must participate in it. Tianmu, the community, is an example of why I love Taiwan (which is better experienced than described), and "Lili," the bar/cafe/gallery/restaurant/group of friends, is a nice introduction to the community itself. If you ever feel that it's "time to have a drink," visit Lili and say hello to Patrick and Lily for me.
"Eye on Taiwan" invites you to share your reflections and observations regarding Taiwan. Please send submissions to firstname.lastname@example.com and include your (1) real name, (2) nationality, (3) contact number, (4) photo, and (5) profile.

Cheap makeup brushes.
Makeup brushes are a must-have for anyone who likes makeup and wears it daily. But quailty brushes are often expensive (and overpriced, if you ask me). I wrote this post to show you that you can get good brushes for a low price, only if you know where to look.
I was in a bookstore the other day and saw some art brushes that looked like I could do some makeup with them. Since the price was really low, I didnt have second thoughts about buying them.
Ones I bought are made out of animal hair (I think they are used for watercolors). Two of them I planned to use with Illamasqua Eyeliner cake because I needed thin and precise brush for that. One of them is great (one with orange handle), it applies eyeliner very easy. Other one is not so good because the hair gets everywhere when pressed on skin, so I will have to find another usage for it.
Other two brushes I took for blending and they are great for that! They have slightly rounded top, very soft hair, feel tender on eyelids and blend eyeshadow perfectly! Only problem was that they were maybe too soft so the hair spreaded more than I wanted but there is an easy way to solve this problem.
Just take a piece of tape and wrap it a bit over metal part of the handle. That will keep hair pressed closer together and result in firmer and more precise brush. I did that with all of these in the end because I like to have more control with brush, but you can always see what works better for your needs.
The most important thing is – I payed only 17kn for them all. I cant remember te exact prices but the bigger ones were about 6-7kn and the smaller about 2-3kn. That is an amazing price for a makeup brush, especially if they are good quality.
If you are looking for cheap brushes, take a look for them in bookstores and art supply stores because you can find really good deals there. With a little modification, you will have amazing makeup tools. I also saw few of more expensive brushes which I think I will buy next week.
Have you ever used art brushes for applying makeup? What are your thoughts on this?

THE MINYADES were daughters of King Minyas of Orkhomenos who scorned the worship of the god Dionysos by refusing to participate in his orgies. As punishment for their crime, the god inflicted them with madness causing them to dismember one of their sons and then transformed the three into bats and owls.
[1.1] MINYAS (Antoninus Liberalis 10, Aelian Miscellany 3.42, Ovid Metamorphoses 4.1)
MINYADES (Minuades), the three daughters of Minyas, named Alcithoe, Leucippe and Arsippe. Instead of Arsippe, Aelian (V. H. iii. 42) calls the latter Aristippa, and Plutarch (Quaest. Gr. 38) Arsinoë. At the time when the worship of Dionysus was introduced into Boeotia, and while the other women and maidens were revelling and ranging over the mountains in Bacchic joy, these two sisters alone remained at home, devoting themselves to their usual occupations, and thus profaning the days sacred to the god. Dionysus punished them by changing them into bats, and their work into vines. (Ov. Met. iv. 1-140, 390-415.) Plutarch, Aelian, and Antoninus Liberalis, though with some differences in the detail, relate that Dionysus appeared to the sisters in the form of a maiden, and invited them to partake in the Dionysiac mysteries. When this request was not complied with, the god metamorphosed himself successively into a bull, a lion, and a panther, and the sisters were seized with madness. In this state they were eager to honour the god, and Leucippe, who was chosen by lot to offer a sacrifice to Dionysus, gave up her own son Hippasus to be torn to pieces. In extreme Bacchic frenzy the sisters now roamed over the mountains, until at last Hermes changed them into birds. Plutarch adds that down to his time the men of Orchomenos descended from that family were called psoloeis, that is, mourners, and the women oleiai or aioleiai, that is, the destroyers. In what manner the neglect of the Dionysiac worship on the part of Alcathoë and her sister was atoned for every year at the festival of the Agrionia.
Source: Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology.
Aeschylus, Xantriae (lost play) (Greek tragedy C5th B.C.) :
Aeschylus lost play the Xantriae or "Wool-Carders" may have dramatized the story of the Minyades. All that is known about the work is that Hera appeared in the guise of a priestess begging alms, the Bakkhic frenzy was personified by Lyssa, and the death of Pentheus took place on Mt. Kithairon (Scholiast on Eumenides 24). The story of Pentheus may have been summarized in the opening scene of the play. In Ovid's Metamorphoses at least, the Pentheus story is used to introduce the Minyades.
Antoninus Liberalis, Metamorphoses 10 (trans. Celoria) (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.) :
"Nikandros [Greek poet C2nd B.C.] tells this tale in the fourth book of his Metamorphoses, as does Korinna [Greek poet C6th B.C.]. The daughters of Minyas, son of Orkhomenos, were Leukippe, Arsippe and Alkathoe. They turned out to be startlingly diligent. They strongly criticized other women because they abandoned the city to go as Bakkhai in the hills, until Dionysos took on the likeness of a girl and urged the Minyades not to miss out on the rites or mysteries of the god.
But they paid no heed to him. At this--not surprisingly--Dionysos was angered and instead of a girl became a bull, then a lion, then a leopard. From the beams of their looms there flowed for him milk and nectar.
At these portents terror gripped the maidens. Without delay the three drew lots into a pot and shook it. The lot fell to Leukippe and she vowed to offer a sacrifice to the god her own son Hippasos whom she tore to pieces with the help of her sisters.
Abandoning their paternal home, they went as Bakkhai in the mountains, browsing on ivy, honeysuckle and laurel, until Hermes touched them with his wand and changed them into flying creatures. One of them became a bat, another an owl and the third and eagle owl. And all three continuously avoided the light of the sun."
Aelian, Historical Miscellany 3. 42 (trans. Wilson) (Greek rhetorician C2nd to 3rd A.D.) :
"The divinely inspired madness of the Boiotian women has been made notorious by tragedy. They say that only the daughters of Minyas, Leukippe, Arsippe, and Alkithoe, rebelled against the dance in honour of Dionysos, and they did so for love of their husbands; for this reason they did not become Mainades of the god. He was angry. They sat at their looms and toiled industriously in honour of Ergane [Athena], and suddenly ivy and vines began to envelop the looms and snakes made their lair in the baskets of wool. Wine and milk dripped down from the ceiling. But not even these events persuaded the women to join in the worship of the god. Then they committed a terrible act, not on Kithairon, but no less serious than the one perpetrated on Kithairon. The Minyades tore to pieces, as if he were a fawn, the young child of Leukippe, a boy still of tender years. This was their first act of madness, and then they rushed off to join the women who had been Mainades from the first. The latter chased them away because of their pollution, and they then became birds, one changing herself into a crow, the second into a bat, and the third an owl."
Ovid, Metamorphoses 4. 1, 272 & 389 ff (trans. Melville) (Roman epic C1st B.C. to C1st A.D.) :
"The Theban women throng the novel rites [of Dionysos], honouring the god divine, and offering incense in his holy shrine. Not so in the judgement of Alcithoe daughter of Minyas : to her Bacchus' [Dionysos'] wild rites were inadmissible. She still denied, rash girl, that Bacchus was the son of Jove [Zeus], and had her sisters too as allies in that blasphemy. The priest had now ordained a feast day: servant girls must be excused from work, and with their mistresses must swathe their breasts in skins, let down their braided hair, garland their heads, and carry in their hands the leafy staves; and fierce, he prophesied, would be his wrath if Bacchus were defied. The women, old and young alike, obeyed. Weaving, work-boxes and unfinished work they put away, and, burning incense, called on Bacchus by his many names . . . The Ismenides [i.e. women of Boiotia] cry and celebrate the rites commanded.
Only the Minyeides remain indoors and mar the festival by their untimely spinning, as they draw the strings of wood and thumb the twisting threads, or ply their loom and keep the work-girls busy. Then one, as her deft fingers drew the thread, suggested, `While the others have ceased work and throng those spurious rites, let us as well, busy for Minverva [Athene] now, a better goddess, lighten our useful toil with talk, and tell some tale in turn to while the tedious hours away and give delight to idle ears . . . [She relates the tale of Pyramos and Thisbe.]'
The tale had ended; a brief interval had followed; then, her sisters falling silent this time Leuconoe began her tale . . . [She tells the story of Klytie.]
The miracle held them fascinated; one denies such things could happen; others say true gods can do all things--but Bacchus is not one of them. When they were quiet, Alcithoe was called. Running her shuttle through the upright warp . . . [and begins the tale of Salmakis and Hermaphroditos.]
The tale was done but still the girls worked on, scorning the god, dishonouring his feast, when suddenly the crash of unseen drums clamoured, and fifes and jingling brass resounded, and the air was sweet with scents or myrrh and saffron, and--beyond belief!--the weaving all turned green, the hanging cloth grew leaves of ivy, part became a vine, what had been threads formed tendrils, form the warp broad leaves unfurled, bunches of grapes were seen, matching the purple with their coloured sheen. And now the day was spent, the hour stole on when one would doubt if it were light or dark, some lingering light at night's vague borderlands. Suddenly the whole house began to shake, the lamps flared up, and all the rooms were bright with flashing crimson fires, and phantom forms of savage beasts of prey howled all around. Among the smoke-filled rooms, one here, one there, the sisters cowered in hiding to escape the flames and glare, and, as they sought the dark, a skinny membrane spread down their dwarfed limbs, and wrapped thin wings about their tiny arms, and in what fashion they had lost their shape the dark hid from them. Not with feathered plumes they ride the air, but keep themselves aloft on parchment wings; and when they try to speak they send a tiny sound that suits their size, and pour their plains in thin high squeaking cries. Houses they haunt, not woods; they loathe the light; from dusk they take their name, and flit by night." [N.B. In Greek nykteris "bat," derived from the word for "night" nyx.]
Ovid, Metamorphoses 4. 422 ff :
"[Dionysos] had power . . . to wrap those three Minyeides in fantastic wings."

For Greenvale AP, the UK's leading supplier of fresh potatoes, environmental issues are at the very heart of the business, and earlier this month they were formally recognised for their efforts when they were awarded the Fenland Enterprise Business Green Award for their Floods Ferry site in Cambridgeshire.
Environmental Manager Jessica Cranthorne said: "We are delighted to have received this award. The environmental success we have achieved at our Cambridgeshire site has been a huge team effort. Although particular praise needs to go to Ray Grint (Site Services) for his dedication to improving recycling across the site, and Adrian Dickson (Engineering Manager) for his work in rolling out high tech LED lighting".
This is all part of Greenvale AP's Green15 Environmental Strategy which is aimed at reducing carbon emissions by 20%, reducing water use by 50% and eliminating landfill waste, all by 2015. The company is implementing a range of schemes, from improving energy efficiency to investigating renewable energy options. Currently, they have completely eliminated landfill waste at their Cambridgeshire site, as well as reducing their landfill waste to just 2% at the Market Drayton site. Greenvale AP have also reduced water use by 23% and carbon emissions by 18% across all sites, since 2009.
The installation of LED lighting from UK company Low Energy Designs has seen a 65% reduction in energy use at the Cambridgeshire site. There has also been a secondary benefit of better visibility in the factory which has both improved safety conditions for the workers and made potato grading easier, therefore providing a higher quality product for customers.
Another exciting partnership is with Wind Direct, with whom Greenvale have made an application for planning permission on their Cambridgeshire site for wind turbines which would provide approximately 40% of the site's electricity.
Previously, Greenvale AP won Best Carbon Reduction Strategy at the Tesco Greening Our Supply Chain Awards for their group wide Green15 initiative.

(Photos shot by Sandy Zimmerman during the live show.)
Master illusionist Jan Rouven, the star of "Illusions", risks his life every night during the show! Jan moved from one dangerous illusion to another, each seemingly impossible yet he performed them so well.
Jan has chosen the scary illusions, those that are rarely attempted. Chriss Angel used a giant Buzz Saw in his Mindfreak show but Jan Rouven does it differently. Two giant Buzz Saws were suspended one at each end of a raised platform with a small open compartment in the center.
When the two whirling Buzz Saws rolled down both platforms and crashed through the compartment, the audience held their breath until everyone saw that Jan was safe!
To my knowledge, Jan is the only magician performing the Bed of Knives illusion in Las Vegas. He was lying down shackled to the flat bed with several large sharp knives hanging above him. A volunteer from the audience kept pulling ropes to release each of the knives as they kept falling closer and closer to his body.
His version of Houdini's famous classic Underwater Escape was brilliant. Bound in chains we see Jan struggling to free himself inside the water tank.
With such excitingly dangerous illusions, Illusions is a MUST SEE show!"
More and more well-known colleagues have become aware of Jan Rouven and support him on his way. His most prominent friend is Siegfried Fischbacher, the blonde man of the duo Siegfried & Roy who were awarded with the title Magicians of the Century.
Siegfried himself was so impressed by the young illusionist's talent that Jan is allowed to exclusively use some original props of the mega magicians in his show.
Within the 10 years of his career, Jan has performed to audiences of up to 20,000 people, more than 3 million spectators have seen him live and approximately 55 million people have been able to view his TV appearances.
He has won some of the most important international awards of the entertainment industry such as the "Magician of the Year" following David Copperfield and Siegfried & Roy, the "Audience Award Monte Carlo Magic Stars" presented by Princess Stephanie of Monaco and the "Entertainer of the Year" elected by more than 37,000 members of the '" according to the Guinness book of world records- biggest magic society worldwide. Jan Rouven is Germany's most successful illusionist and ranks among the world's elite magicians.
Jan Rouven appears at the Riviera Hotel. www.janrouven.com/home.en.html

April Showers
Like April Showers on the slick cement
When I consider how our light is spent
Keeping the candles inside the cathedral
Hold on tight, Don't go into the night
So full of evil
Rain rain don't go away
We need you this dry and dusty day
Rain rain don't go away
Though some may say please go away
Like the April Showers on the slick cement
And the roads once straight have now become so bent
Weaving through the trees of vain security
Rounding round the hard rocks of hard morality
And the sacred cows
Feed on the green
While the least of these
Are dying on the streets
And they're crying...

NASDAQ Decided to Take the Afternoon Off
August, you know?
NASDAQ is having one of those days. The stock exchange, where the likes of Apple and Facebook shares are traded, has been halted by an "unexplained technical issue" for the first time in recent memory, disturbing global markets and causing Wall Street traders to throw even more phones across the room than usual.
NASDAQ is blaming the "system on which trades are recorded" for the technical glitch, but we're pretty sure it's Time Warner Cable's fault, somehow.

The other day I made these yummy fish tacos for lunch and they were delicious. I usually figure out the point value of a meal before I start to make it so I will know what to expect. I was particularly excited for this one since I could have so much for so few points.
Here is what I did:
I sprinkled Old Bay seasoning on both sides of a 3 oz. filet of tilapia. I cooked it on the George Foreman Grill for a few minutes and let it cool. Meanwhile I warmed 2 Mission Yellow Corn Tortillas in the microwave for 10 seconds. I cut up a handful of romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes and 1/8 cup of avocado. I split all the veggies up between the 2 tortillas and a little salsa on top. After shredding the fish I place it over all the veggies and enjoyed:-)
I was so excited to eat these, they smelled good and they were incredibly tasty. Not too bad for a just a few minutes of my time and only worth 5 points!
If you make any yummy meals worth few points on the weight watchers points + please let me know so I can try them.

In 1915, Schaefer and Hart purchased The Giant Tire & Rubber Company of Akron, a tire rebuilding business, and two years later moved the business to Findlay, Ohio. The firm changed its name to Cooper Tire & Rubber Company in 1946 and by July 11, 1960, the company became a publicly held corporation and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Tires are designed and built with great care to provide thousands of miles of excellent service. But for maximum benefit they must be maintained properly. The most important factors in tire care are:
• Proper inflation pressure • Proper vehicle loading • Proper tire wear • Regular inspection • Good driving habits • Vehicle conditions

College Hockey:Quinnipiac Shuts Down Robert Morris on the Road
NEVILLE ISLAND, Pa. — Quinnipiac kept Robert Morris University winless at home by shutting out the Colonials 2-0 Friday night. Quinnipiac, now 0-2 at the RMU Island Sports Center and 2-3-0 on the year, will have another chance Saturday, October 29, as they again take on the Bobcats at 7:35 p.m.
Quinnipiac came into the game as the third-highest scoring team in the nation and Robert Morris the fourth, but combined to score just two goals Friday night. The Colonials, who touted the top power-play in the nation, went scoreless in six opportunities while the Bobcats capitalized on one-of-eight chances.
Jamie Bates gave Quinnipiac the lead at 11:17 of the third period with a power-play goal. He took a pass in the slot from Ben Nelson and found a hole in sophomore goalie Christian Boucher. Brian Leitch also recorded an assist.
The Bobcats doubled the lead just 47 seconds into the second period. David Marshall was credited with the goal when he threw the puck across the slot and it was tipped in by a Robert Morris defender.
Neither team could find their rhythm in the third period as they combined for 17 penalties and 34 penalty minutes in the final 20 minutes. For the game, 27 penalties in total were whistled.
Boucher finished with 35 saves on the night as Quinnipiac held a 37-23 advantage in shots. Bud Fisher earned the shutout win with 23 saves.
