When William Waybourn took the photographs for the D.C. Strokes 2008-2009 calendar, he was able to pose the rowers — or at least keep a safe distance. But with the D.C. Gay Flag Football League, hazardous duty was involved.
"I did get hit by one guy who forgot that I was standing there," he says of shooting a scrimmage for the DCGFFL's calendar, launching Tuesday, Aug. 9 with a Hugo Boss-sponsored release party at Waybourn's Longview Gallery. "They play very seriously. Some would show up with bruises or cuts."
Waybourn is no worse for wear from the experience, but he may be a little tired considering the hundreds of hours he and Tony Frye, of Tony Frye Design, donated to the project, along with Michael Zagoda, who hatched the idea. The players, on the other hand, do indeed get rough, confirms the league's Sean Bartel.
"We've had two concussions, a broken hand," he recalls. "A spleen had to be taken out."
And it's not just the boys. There's a sizable contingent of women and straight folks mixed into the teams, as well. And through the calendar, this rough-and-tumble crowd is aiming to harness their sense of fellowship for a greater good.
"It's more than just football," he says. "Our job here is also to give back to the community."
To that end, proceeds from the $20 calendar will help support the league's scholarship effort, which has already seen nearly $4,000 raised for the Team DC Scholarship Fund. With the attention the league's calendar has already gotten – even before its official release – the sky may be the limit. Bartel, who handles the league's media and social networks, says they've already been fielding interest on a global scale.
"I never dreamed there would be this explosion," he says. "A guy from Germany wants to order 50 to 100 calendars."
The DCGFFL calendar release party is Tuesday, Aug. 9, from 6-8:30 p.m., at Longview Gallery, 1234 9th St. NW. Advance tickets are $10 and are available at dcgffl.org, or $15 at the door. The calendars are $20 and are available at the party or at dcgffl.org.

While America was weighing in today on social media over "Biggest Loser" season 15 winner Rachel Frederickson and her 155-pound weight loss, there were 14 other people on the show who also lost massive amounts of weight and put their new selves on display Tuesday night. But no one's weight loss was as widely discussed as Rachel's.
Dr. Mehmet Oz was on "Access Hollywood Live" today and was asked about Frederickson's weight loss.
"The concern is not now but what happens in three months," he said and added that whenever he sees "Biggest Loser" contestants peel off weight that quickly, he worries that the loss won't be sustainable in the long run. "The problem is regaining the weight," Oz said. "Yo-yo dieting is so incredibly detrimental to the body because we gain fat but we lose muscle."
Frederickson, who is 5-foot-5 and now 105 pounds, was also on the show today and the former competitive swimmer addressed the controversy over her dramatic weight loss.
"Little by little, challenge by challenge, that athlete came out," she said, "and it sparked inside me the feeling that I can do anything and I can succeed." She added that she would continue to "keep finding my balance and continue to move forward in this healthy lifestyle."

George Cummins, Field Agronomist, Northeast
Problem Statement:
ISU has been conducting applied agronomic research across the state for many years. Current extension recommendations have been developed from these research findings. Many of our clients are unaware of the research farm network and the research findings and/or are not convinced that recommendations based on small plot research are appropriate for their specific farming operations.
Programmatic Response:
As an Extension adoption/ diffusion strategy, the Hub and Spoke model was introduced in NE Iowa in 2000 as part of a state-funded water quality project. Agronomic demonstrations began in 2003. From its inception the goals of this effort have been:
1. To increase awareness of and interest in the research work conducted at NERF and other ISU research farms.
2. To confirm research findings on-farm using cooperators farming systems.
3. To introduce cooperators to the various tools used to make crop production and nutrient management decisions.
4. To demonstrate the economic advantage and potential environmental impact of various crop production and nutrient management practices.
Research projects are conducted at the NE Research Farm and the Northern Research Farms (the Hubs) and similar replicated trials are established with on-farm cooperators (the Spokes) across the area. The Extension Field Agronomists (Cummins and Lang) have been involved in identifying cooperators; helping organize and establish the replicated studies; assisting with agronomic/ economic data collection; and analyzing, summarizing and disseminating the plot results. The number of demonstrations, cooperators and counties served has increased over time. In 2008, 49 demonstrations were conducted by 35 cooperators in 12 counties. The demonstrations compare the productivity and profitability of various products and practices. In most cases the demonstrations are replicated and randomized so that the results can be statistically analyzed. The specific issues to be compared are identified by the cooperator. 2008 topics included: Soybeans W/WO seed treatment; Specialty soybean variety comparison; Soybean variety X response to aphid treatment comparison; Soybean response to aphid treatment; Soybean foliar fungicide treatment and timing of treatment; Soybean white mold study with Contans; Soybean varieties with different SCN resistances; soybean row spacing and population studies; CRW corn varieties with different Bt events; Corn fungicide treatment timing; Bt CRW/ non Bt variety in C-C and C-Sbn rotations; Continuous Corn W/ WO residue removal; a comparison of corn and soybean production in ridge-till/ no-till systems, foliar fungicide treatments and timing on corn, Date of planting varieties W/ WO CRW Bt in continuous corn and corn response to sulfur fertilizer. Demonstration data is summarized and published in a Hub and Spokes booklet which also includes related research results from the ISU Research Farms at Nashua and Kanawha and the Howard County Research Farm. This information is widely shared as the booklet, in electronic crop newsletters and media pieces and to add local experience to educational programs conducted by the Field Agronomists involved.
a. Most of the cooperators have participated in this program for several years. They stress the need for multi-year data but also identify new topics for future Hub and Spoke Research Projects. "This data was collected on my farm using my farming system. The trials produce agronomic and economic comparisons. I have confidence in the results and have made subsequent management decisions based on them." "I have results from my own trials that I can compare against advertising claims and dealer recommendations."
b. On-farm results (Spokes) were generally consistent with research farm results (Hub). "I am more confident that recommendations based on small plot research are appropriate for my farming operation." "Many new products/ management strategies have not been tested long enough to appear in the Research Farm Annual Reports. My Hub and Spoke trials provide at least one years experience with new products/ practices to use in decision making." "Hub and Spoke trials (13 years of Bt ECB / non Bt variety comparisons; Bt CRW/ non Bt variety comparisons in a C-C and C-Sbn comparison; and performance of Contans, a biological White mold control in soybeans; an agronomic and economic comparison of specialty soybean varieties; etc) have provided replicated, unbiased information that I could not find from any other source that I trust."
c. "The economic analysis of on-farm trials is a welcome addition and helpful in evaluating new technologies and company sales information/claims". "The commodity prices received for the 2008 crop and the rising input costs for 2009 compound varietal differences or differences in treatments making these trials and this information more valuable." "Soybean aphid treatments on my farm showed a positive economic response. Foliar fungicide response was break even or negative." " Sulfur trials showed a consistent economic response that correlates very well with soil texture and organic matter content." "Twelve years of Bt ECB/ non Bt isoline variety comparisons showed an average economic response for the Bt hybrids 8 years out of 13."
d. "As a Hub and Spokes cooperator, I have a greater awareness of and appreciation for ISU Extension and their work with ISU research and on-farm demonstrations ". As a Board Member of the NE Iowa Ag Experimental Association, I am more comfortable soliciting financial support for the Borlaug Learning Center to be built at the NE Research Farm because of the valuable work conducted there."
e. Data collected from the corn foliar fungicide trials at the H&S site on the Howard County Experimental Farm and with a Corn/ Soybean Initiative (CSI) Partner in Floyd County were included in a statewide CSI summary that was shared across the state and the Midwest. Our data also included an evaluation of disease incidence and severity which is useful in explaining yield response to the various treatments.
f. Data collected from the comparison of 4 soybean varieties with different SCN resistance, conducted with a CSI Partner in Cerro Gordo County, was part of a statewide study funded by the Iowa Soybean Association.
g. Cost recovery was provided by the Iowa Learning Farm Project, the Corn/ Soybean Initiative, the Iowa Soybean Disease Survey Project, the Iowa Soybean Association, and the Statewide Soybean Aphid Survey.
h. This year, our CSI Partners and other agri-business representatives were actively involved in identifying demonstration topics and our on-farm cooperators, carrying out the demonstrations and/ or supplying in-kind support. We expect this working relationship to continue and expand in the future.
i. The NE Research Farm summary of foliar fungicide studies involving 43 hybrid combinations in 6 different studies on continuous corn showed an average yield response of + 4.1 bu/acre, a range of yield response from -9 bu to + 22 bu/ acre and an economic response 53% of the time.
j. The NE Research Farm summary of foliar fungicide studies involving 50 varieties in 5 different studies on soybeans following corn showed an average yield response of +1 bu/ acre, a range of yield response from -3.5 bu to +8 bu/ acre and an economic response 30% of the time.

TROY, Mich. (AP) -- Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is wrapping up a fundraising stop in suburban Detroit with two events that are raising more than $1 million for his campaign.
The Michigan native spoke to supporters at a Troy hotel Wednesday, then traveled to a private home for another event.
Romney's campaign isn't disclosing full financial details but says more than 500 tickets were sold at a minimum of $2,500 each -- a total of at least $1 million.
Earlier Wednesday, he raised money in the Grand Rapids area.
Union and Planned Parenthood protesters lined the road outside the Troy Marriott. Signs said Romney was running for president of the 1 percent, a reference to America's wealthy.
Romney made campaign stops Tuesday in Frankenmuth, Holland and DeWitt.

Sunderland 4 Cardiff 0
by Stuart Vose
Wickham leads the way with cool double against City.
Four-star Sunderland blew Cardiff away to move out of the bottom three with three games to play.
Almost 46,000 fans packed the Stadium of Light for a vital encounter, and the red and white army were rewarded with a clinical performance from a Sunderland side with confidence coursing through their veins.
The Black Cats didn't look back once Connor Wickham – quickly becoming a talismanic presence – headed home Seb Larsson's corner just before the half-hour.
Fabio Borini made it two on the stroke of half-time from the penalty spot after Juan Cala was dismissed for pulling back Wickham in the box.
Sunderland pulled away in the second period to seal a massively important win, with substitute Emanuele Giaccherini slotting home 14 minutes from time before Wickham headed the fourth goal - his fifth in three games - late on.
It was an emphatic display from Gus Poyet's men, who jumped three places at a vital point of the season.
Both sides went into the game fully aware of the magnitude of the encounter and the momentum was with Sunderland, with Poyet naming an unchanged side for the third successive game following a four-point return from trips to Manchester City and Chelsea.
Wickham had led the way with three goals in those two matches, and he came close just four minutes in when Cardiff keeper David Marshall turned away the striker's low shot from an extremely acute angle at the near post.
Sunderland made a bright start, although City counter-attacked well with Don Cowie volleying wide following a half-cleared corner 17 minutes in.
But that man Wickham popped up to give the Black Cats a crucial advantage with the half-hour approaching as he nodded in his sixth goal of the season for the club overall.
Larsson's corner dropped over the head of Gary Medel and Wickham cashed in, meeting the ball with an inch-perfect header into the far top corner which sneaked in between the crossbar and Peter Whittingham on the line.
The goal was just the tonic for the hosts, who took a grip on the game with Wickham, sniffing a second goal, denied by Marshall as the visiting keeper gathered his deflected shot.
Jack Colback then drove from deep to blast a powerful shot just past the base of Marshall's left-hand post as Sunderland looked to make their superiority count.
And they did so with the help of a defensive error on the stroke of half time when Wickham latched onto Cala's woeful backpass to go clear on goal, only to be clearly impeded by the Cardiff defender.
Wickham, to his credit, didn't go to ground, with referee Phil Dowd pulling play back to award the penalty after the striker had tried to squeeze home a shot.
Cala was shown a red card and Borini made no mistake from 12 yards, rolling a cool effort beyond Marshall to double the advantage.
The Italian is establishing a reputation as Sunderland's penalty king having scored several vital spot-kicks this season, and his ice-cold nerves gave the home side what proved to be an unassailable advantage.
They counter-attacked effectively against the 10 men from the get-go in the second half, with Borini curling a shot just wide before a fine cross from Johnson was inches away from finding Wickham when any touch would surely have resulted in a goal.
With the hosts finding the gaps, Borini fired wide after being teed up by Colback, but Vito Mannone still had to be alert at the other end as he produced a fine save to palm away Whittingham's awkward free-kick.
But Sunderland pushed on, playing confident football.
Poyet's men almost made it 3-0 with 18 minutes to play as Colback's low cross was turned goalwards by Borini, but Marshall somehow managed to block at point-blank range, though how much he knew about it was debatable.
And, after a confident Wickham blasted just wide, the hosts made sure of the points thanks to Giaccherini, who announced his arrival off the bench with a goal just three minutes after his introduction in place of Larsson.
It was perhaps the goal of the match, with Borini threading a lovely through ball into the path of his countryman, whose angled run beyond the defender was matched by an equally classy low finish.
Sunderland were rampant, and Colback was inches away with a rising drive which flashed beyond the angle of post and bar with Marshall well beaten.
And it was fitting that Wickham – the man around which Sunderland's revival has been built – was the man to round off the scoring with a textbook striker's goal four minutes from the end.
Giaccherini's corner dropped over the head of sub Kenwyne Jones, and the striker beat Kevin Theophile-Catherine to steer a firm header into the corner from six yards to round off a memorable – and potentially important – afternoon.

To Rent or to Buy?
Despite the government's measures to cool the property market, Hong Kong real-estate prices are still close to their 1997 peak. Many expats are continuing to ask: Rent or buy?
Pricilla Chu, vice president of ipac Financial Planning Hong Kong Limited, which caters largely to expatriates, encounters this question often. Arriving at the right answer requires a careful analysis of finances as well as a realistic idea of how long the prospective buyer intends to stay in Hong Kong, she says.
Ms. Chu, who led a seminar in November on how clients can approach this decision, spoke to The Wall Street Journal about the homework prospective buyers should do to make sure home ownership is right for them.
In light of the recent stamp duty increases, which levy additional fees of up to 15% on residences sold within two years, what advice do you have for prospective buyers?
[The stamp duty increases] just came to the market, but they do have an effect on people who speculate. Clearly, there is a very emotional effect on all of us. Take your time and see how the market goes before making a decision. It's better to wait for people to settle down instead of making a decision while everything is up in the air.
Is there such a thing as the right time to buy?
No, it's the same thing as investing in stocks. It's very volatile in Hong Kong. It's more a question of if you can afford it, so in the worst-case scenario when the market drops drastically, you can still afford it then. It's high right now, but when is it the highest? God knows. When is it the lowest? God knows.
How do you make this decision, then?
There's no formula for when you should buy. What we like to ask people is whether they are ready or not. What is your reason to buy? Since most of our clients are expats, they're not even sure if they'll stay in Hong Kong for long. That could be a very, very risky investment. If you're not sure if you're going to stay in Hong Kong, don't get too excited about buying property right now.
What do you tell expatriates who are considering buying?
It's important to do your homework and do your shopping. Check the Internet for prices. Check out a few apartments. Also, something to take into consideration is the exchange rate. If a person from Australia is transferred back, for example, and the exchange rate is high, you might feel like you're losing money. Also in Hong Kong, there are no property-gains taxes, but you might be subject to them in your own country.
What does doing homework entail?
Look at your investment portfolio. People don't want to put all their eggs in one basket, but are you doing that? There's no liquidity with real estate. You get stuck, and there's no cooling off period. Right now I would say, take a little while to watch the market.
What unseen costs are overlooked when it comes to buying?
People need to ask: Are you going to do renovations? How much? Renovations can be quite expensive. You might spend five or six million [Hong Kong dollars] on buying an apartment but on the other hand, you might spend one million on renovations alone. It's very expensive.
There are always some ongoing costs you have to look into that are extra. When you set up your place you have a bunch of utility deposits that could be HK$10,000 you have to budget for. And there's also the government rate charged each year. That's quite a lot of ongoing extras compared to renting.
How can you find out what your home is really worth?
Make sure you get an assessment of property through different banks. Sometimes the range can be very large. It could be more than 10% difference on property estimation, and that will affect your mortgage and duties.
What are neighborhoods in Hong Kong people should consider?
I would look into estates like Tai Koo Shing [in Kornhill]. I would go for those because it seems those places have steadier price points. They're also easier to sell when you're desperate to get rid of them.

Samsung GALAXY Note IICompare9 reviewSamsung Galaxy Note II sports a slightly bigger, 5.5-inch display, a quad-core processor that gets rid of the slight lag in the original Note, and best of all Android 4.1 Jelly Bean right out of the box. The Galaxy Note II is armed with a brighter and larger 5.5" HD Super AMOLED display with resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. While this means that pixel density will be slightly lower compared to the original Note, in reality, the image quality shouldn't suffer any losses, as this screen used the standard RGB matrix, instead of PenTile, which means more subpixels, and ultimately – clarity. The bezel is slimmer, so despite the increase in screen size overall the device is not bigger. Powered by the same Samsung Exynos 4412 quad-core processor that's also found in the Galaxy S III, but clocked up, to the whopping 1.6GHz, the Note II will have no trouble running any application you can think of. The G Note II features an 8-megapixel back-side illuminated (BSI) rear camera and a 1.9-megapixel BSI front shooter. The Samsung Galaxy Note II will ship in three versions - a 16GB, 32GB and 64GB ones, with memory expandable via up to 64GB microSD cards making it possible to have as much as 128GB storage. The second-gen Note is coming with a humongous 3,100mAh battery that should get you through the day.+ View Specs

We're flabbergasted by the name of this stretchy sleeveless sweater, but the Lafty Lie ($89) is gorgeous just the same. With an all over lace print and added garlands, dolled up would be an understatement. No fishnets necessary with this flirty getup; pair with simple skinny jeans and boots to make a killer entrance.

The show's Facebook page teases that "shots are fired and shocking discoveries are made." The "General Hospital" spoilers from ABC tease that Julian has a "startling announcement" to make while Franco and Carly turn to an old friend for some help. Who gets shot? The network dishes that is may not be the person most viewers would expect.
Anna will learn something "shocking" about Jordan, seemingly the truth about the fact she's been working undercover, while Duke has some kind of "urgent news" for Sonny. She Knows Soaps adds some additional "General Hospital" spoilers to the mix. During Monday's show Julian pulls together a family dinner while Luke has a hidden agenda when he shows up at Alexis' place.
Tuesday Maxie faces a court order, and it appears that she is facing a big loss regarding the custody hearing. It seems that Julian's big announcement is regarding a departure from the mob, and chaos ensues that will make a big impact throughout much of the week. It appears that the truth about Jordan will come out, and Molly will lend a shoulder to TJ as he works through it all.
As the week continues, Wubs Net shares "General Hospital" spoilers that Liz and Ric will head out on a date, though Ric is facing some legal troubles this week as well. Sabrina and Patrick's baby gets a name, and Luke has an ultimatum for Julian. Lucy may get busted about her affair, and Duke's secrets are coming out regarding his alibi. Carly gets the recording of AJ's and as the week continues she considers that it may have been Ava who killed Connie.
There will be a lot of Luke action from the sounds of things, and everybody is anxious to learn once and for all what is really going on with him though the answers may not be revealed quite yet. It is definitely a big week in Port Charles with a lot of developments ahead. Tune in to "General Hospital" airing weekdays on ABC to see what transpires the week of May 19.

Don't mess with the little guy because he has back up.
Cant wait for having these two, great artwork
I don't like the new pokemon...
They aren't creative anymore.
This looks great, though.
Although I agree with you to a certain extent, I do not believe Pancham and Pangoro are bad. They are probably the best looking of the new pokemon, and to tell you the truth, I prefer them over any other pokemon, including charzard whom I loved since Pokemon RBY. Some of the new pokemon, however, look like the artists were rushed, like the art director came in the studio, 3 am, and told the artists "Ok guys, we have until noon, today, to complete the design for another 200 pokemon!"
oh yeaaah i so cant wait for those guys XD har har har XD
Has a brother bear feel to it
I want them soooooo bad... ;w;
Uwaaahh so amazing!! ;3;
Y you have such amazing talents can you do Articuno?

Yep. Its name is Gorondo/Korondo idk which is which but it's fighting/dark type with the ability Iron Fist.
It is.

Wow, when I saw this, I had to check out Psypokes.com to check out new info about Pancham's evo and it's definitely legit. This is really awesome how you made these two together. Way better than Teddiursa/Ursaring and Cubchoo/Beartic. Great work!
Pancham's evolution looks kickass and its Fighting/Dark! Love how you drew these two!
This is the first fanart that i see from Koronda! It bearly announce it yesterday, yass you're quick in making drawings! lol

Omg how cute!! The evolution is perfect...I can't wait to use this guy. I really love the colors you used in this, it makes me feel like its gonna rain (which I could use its so hot out)
I swear bro I was so happy for Goronda to be a Fighting/Dark Type, I mean, this is a new favorite Pokemon of mine! And awesome portrait, now I gained respect for the Pokemon and thanks for making it!
I'm finding the new bear based Pokemon for this region to be really neat. Big improvement from Chubchoo and Beartic. But hopefully they do not end up being yet another set of normal types.
Your depiction of them turned out great!
Your depiction of them turned out great!
lol I feel a mob of angry normal types heading your way. They are fighting types btw. and thank you!
I-I got nothing against them. It's just that there are too many of them out there. Well, besides water types anyway.
Oh they are? I didn't see that yet. Interesting, though. Interesting...

We are in the thick of June now, aren't we? Seems so sudden but the neighbor kid across the street bounces his basketball at all hours of the day instead of just after school, and we've had a few real sundress afternoons in Seattle. I remember when summer used to be this broad expanse of what seemed like endless time. There were trips to the local library with my mom, outdoor sprinklers, mid-day naps and sleepovers that included spoonfuls of raw cookie dough with my best friend, Kristin. It obviously looks different now. There is a noticeable lack of mid-day naps and raw cookie dough, that's for sure. There are deadlines and work obligations, but at least they're often punctuated with sunny mornings, outdoor cocktails at our funky little picnic table, occasional gardening and quick camping trips.
While the days are longer, for some reason they tend to fill up just as quickly so lunch often ends up a haphazard meal — usually a combination of leftover grains, some vegetables from the crisper and a fried egg. Alternatively, a substantial salad or Sam's coleslaw is a good fill in. But this year, I've gotten really into cold soba noodle salads. The noodles cook in a mere 4 minutes and they're just as good cold as they are warm. If you're new to soba noodles, they're made of buckwheat so they're naturally gluten-free (just be sure to buy the buckwheat variety if gluten is a concern as they do make wheat-based soba noodles now, too). They feel much lighter than traditional pasta noodles, making them a natural choice for the warmer summer months.
Along with seasonal lunch slumps comes the inevitable summer hustle of weddings, graduations, social obligations … you know. In the midst of all that, it's often easy to retreat into quicker, easier ways of coordinating our days. Last week I read a great article in The New York Times by Jonathan Safran Foer called How Not to Be Alone (thanks to Olaiya for passing it on). In it, Safran Foer discusses how so many of us have begun to prefer substitutes for actually connecting with family, friends and neighbors instead of the real thing. I'm just as guilty: I'll often prefer text messages over phone calls to quickly arrange meetings with friends. Sam chides me at the farmers market because there are some people who just like to stand at the booth and chat — obviously not intending to buy a bag of granola and, truthfully, blocking the table for others who may wish to. He always assures me they could be customers someday once I make a genuine connection with them. Or maybe they're just having a rough day and need to chat. In Sam's camp, Safran Foer mentions that "everyone is always in need of something that another person can give, be it undivided attention, a kind word or deep empathy."
The final paragraph of his essay really caught my breath. I read it a few times. Then I thought about it for two days straight: "We live in a world made up more of story than stuff. We are creatures of memory more than reminders, of love more than likes. Being attentive to the needs of others might not be the point of life, but it is the work of life. It can be messy, and painful, and almost impossibly difficult. But it is not something we give. It is what we get in exchange for having to die." It's easy to forget all of that. It's easy to look past the people standing at your farmers market booth who want to say hello — just because. It's easy to text your friends with business questions instead of calling or curse your landlord for not having email, thereby forcing you to actually pick up the phone.
I can't say that I've mastered any of it. I still like emails and text messages to coordinate with friends and family; it gives me time to measure my response and check the calendar. But this article made me pause as I think about my last post and how much better I feel having more people in my day-to-day life now. I guess I was saying the same thing as Safran Foer — just not as eloquently. Connecting with each other is all we have. Today it's easier to skirt around it than to actually dive in. But maybe, just for the summer, we can all practice the fine art of the dive. I'm going to try.
After I put the photos of this recipe up on the site, I realized it looks quite similar to this pasta salad with avocado dressing that I made weeks ago. I must be in a the mood for seedy pasta dishes with flavor-forward sauces — because here we are again. But this one is quite different, I assure you. Since seeing the parsley pesto recipe in Bon Appetit, I've had parsley on my mind. My version has a bit of added garlic and lemon zest for brightness. It's super green — which I love — and is a great way to use up leftover parsley.
Beyond the noodles, this salad has all of the textures a good noodle salad should have: crisp radishes and English cucumbers paired with mild sheep's milk cheese and toasty seeds — a most satisfying summer lunch on its own or a great accompaniment to a larger dinner spread. In truth, you can add any vegetables (or cubed tofu) you'd like here: blanched asparagus, summer carrots or English peas would be colorful and delicious. Or chop up a mess of summer greens like kale or arugula and fold those in at the end. If you try a variation, I'd love to hear about it!
Seedy Soba Noodle Salad with Parsley Pesto
I like this salad cold but you could certainly rinse the soba noodles under hot water instead of cold water, toss it all together and serve hot. A quick logistics note: there are pepitas in both the salad and the pesto, so plan to purchase and use 1 1/2 cups total. Next time I make this, I'm going to top each serving with a bit of lemon zest, and maybe even fold chopped parsley into the salad itself. Red chile flakes would be nice, too.
For Salad:
For Parsley Pesto (Makes about 1 1/4 cups pesto)
Cook the soba noodles in a medium pot of boiling salted water for 4 minutes. Drain then rinse thoroughly under cold water. Drain again and pat dry.
Toast the seeds: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lay all of the pepitas (1 1/2 cups) in an even layer on one side of a rimmed baking sheet and sesame seeds on the other side. Toast for about 5 minutes, or until slightly fragrant — the sesame seeds should become more golden than white. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Make the pesto: Pulse 3/4 cup toasted and cooled pepitas in a food processor until smooth. Add parsley, garlic, chives, oil and Parmesan and process until smooth. Fold in lemon zest and season with salt and pepper.
Assemble: In a large bowl, toss together the soba noodles with the radishes, green onion, cucumber, toasted seeds (I reserve about a tablespoon of each to sprinkle on top) and ¾ cup – 1 cup parsley pesto. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Fold in the ricotta salata at the end. Divide into serving bowls and sprinkle with some the reserved toasted seeds. Leftovers will keep for 2-3 days if covered and refrigerated.

By Stephen M Zorio
The 2013 All-Star game got off to a somewhat inauspicious start, but had an entirely fitting (almost) ending. Mets phenom Matt Harvey gave up a lead-off double to Mike Trout and then plunked Yankees star Robinson Cano in the knee. Harvey struck out two of the next three batters, showing why Mets fans are over the moon about him, but Cano's early injury scare was the headline for the first couple of innings. Harvey, for his part, was apologetic: 'I didn't mean to, obviously, I feel terrible about it,' he told Fox's Erin Andrews. 'My apologies go out to him.' Dustin Pedroia was subbed in for the AL captain.
Fox's Ken Rosenthal later reported Cano has a quadriceps contusion, not a knee injury, and Yankees fans breathed a sigh of relief when X-rays came back negative. Cano admitted he was disappointed to have to come out of the game, but later confirmed he was OK via a Vine -- because why not?
The game lacked in offense on the NL side and while the AL All-Stars got a number of hits, they were only able to push three runs across, but given how the AL pitchers were throwing, that was more than enough. And given who their set-up man was, it may as well have been a 10-run lead.
Mariano Rivera entered the game to 'Enter Sandman' in the eighth* and proceeded to do what he's done hundreds of times before: pitch a perfect inning. The difference was that this was his final All-Star appearance so, to mark it, the players on both teams left the field when Rivera entered, giving him the entire diamond to himself.
Rivera was touched (albeit somewhat puzzled) by the unusual gesture. The standing ovation he got reinforced that the game -- and its fans -- will miss him dearly. Rivera earned the MVP as well in a gesture befitting his stature. He also got a brand new Corvette Stingray and Chevy agreed to makeover a field in his name.
Rivera was his usually humble self: 'I would like to thank God for this, my wife, my kids, my family, you guys, the fans, are the best. It's been a privilege, it almost made me cry. I cannot be more happy than that.'
There was applause for Mariano Rivera in the interview room after his postgame session. Do not see that very often.— Neil Best (@sportswatch) July 17, 2013
Joe Nathan got the save by working a nearly perfect ninth inning, pitching around a two-out double by Arizona wunderkind Paul Goldschmidt. Jason Kipnis recorded the final out, Chris Sale of the White Sox got the win. Rivera recorded a hold, Nathan recorded a save and some foolish fan recorded what was likely a night in jail (scroll down).
*AL manager Jim Leyland wanted to make sure he got Rivera in the game and was concerned using someone else could result in a blown save, thus Rivera pitched the eighth instead of his usual spot in the ninth ... and this is cool:
Something that makes the Mo-ment even cooler: The players swear it was spontaneous and they just held themselves back on a lark.— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) July 17, 2013
If you missed Manny Machado's stunning play, Brandon Phillips barehanded throw or the foolish fan, you can find all of them and more in our running recap of the game below:
8:37PM EST: Have to believe this will be the first of many for Harvey:
So much fun pitching in the #ASG in front of the home crowd. Felt great and was an absolute honor to start.— Matt Harvey (@MattHarvey33) July 17, 2013
8:45PM EST: Max Scherzer, who recently had his 13-0 record 'marred' with a loss, did not struggle in his half of the first inning.
Max Scherzer, hot fire: Joey Votto stares at 99 to finish a 1-2-3 first.— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) July 17, 2013
8:53PM EST: This is shaping up to be a low-scoring, someone needs to get lucky kind of game: no walks, one hit and six strikeouts through three innings of work.
9:20PM EST: And the AL takes a 1-0 fourth inning lead, started by a double off the bat off Miguel Cabrera (who else?) and a sac fly from Jose Bautista, but the scoring ends there as David Ortiz grounds into a double play.
9:25PM EST: Carlos Beltran pokes a change-up into left field for the NL's first hit (and baserunner) of the night. Beltran is promptly subbed out for pinch runner Andrew McCutchen, an outstanding player for the outstanding Pittsburgh Pirates. And, on cue, McCutchen steals second with an excellent slide to just beat the throw from Joe Mauer.
9:30PM EST: Hometown hero David Wright leaves McCutchen stranded at third, still 1-0 AL.
9:40PM EST: After a leadoff double (the third one by AL hitters thus far) by Adam Jones and a single by Joe Mauer, Jones scores on a fielder's choice to push the AL lead to 2-0.
9:48PM EST: NL remains scoreless through five innings and have managed to get just one baserunner thus far.
9:51PM EST: NBA analyst brings up the ever-present, maybe-this-is-why-Selig-did-it controversy:
Is there anything dumber in sports than the rule that whichever league wins the MLB all star game gets home field in the World Series?— Steve Kerr (@SteveKerrTNT) July 17, 2013
10:02PM EST: The NL has their second baserunner courtesy of a four-pitch walk drawn by Michael Cuddyer, but they are not bereft of highlights:
10:09PM EST: The adage goes: 'Walk the leadoff hitter and it comes back to haunt you.' The AL All-Stars don't believe in adages, as they strand Cuddyer at first base and retain a 2-0 lede as we head to the top of the seventh inning.
10:14PM EST: When you have a chance to learn from the greatest closer of all time, you learn from the greatest closer of all time:
Mariano Rivera looks like a mother duckling in the AL bullpen, surrounded by the other relievers, who are leaning in to hear him talk.— Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) July 17, 2013
10:19PM EST: Earlier in the game, a fan ran on the field, but not before texting his mother to tell her of his plan. She was not amused. It ended, as all such things do, poorly.
10:24PM EST: Manny Machado is unreal. To wit:
Were you looking for Manny Machado's great play at third? Great! http://t.co/MlHN9UBGiW— SB Nation (@sbnation) July 17, 2013
10:25PM EST: Yup:
Low score, subdued crowd, empty front row seats -- starting to look like a real #Mets game out there at Citi Field. #ASG— Christopher Vespoli (@ChrisVespoli) July 17, 2013
10:26PM EST: And just like that, Wright gets his second hit of the night and injects some momentary enthusiasm into the crowd. Leyland makes a pitching change, he is not messing around.
10:37PM EST: Seven innings, zero runs for the NL All-Stars, meanwhile the AL gets its leadoff hitter aboard four the fourth different inning.
10:44PM EST: A double off the bat of underrated Indians star Jason Kipnis gives the AL a 3-0 lead.
10:48PM EST: Es verdad:
Baseball wants to get a younger fan base. Naturally, it brings out a 72-year-old to sing in the middle of one of its highest-profile games.— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) July 17, 2013
10:51PM EST: Is there a better entrance song for a closer than 'Enter Sandman'? No, there is not. And nobody will ever be as good in that role as Mariano Rivera. Just a class act and off-the-charts good.
THIS -> RT @si_mlb: Mariano Rivera takes the field alone, tips his cap to the crowd. Every player out on the dugout steps cheering him.— Sports Illustrated (@SInow) July 17, 2013
Doesn't happen often when you're a cranky, grizzled old sportswriter, but Mariano Rivera's entrance at Citi Field a chills-inducing moment.— Neil Best (@sportswatch) July 17, 2013
What an incredible moment right here. The greatest of all time!!! Enter the Sandman!!! #ASG— Michael Cuddyer (@mcuddy3) July 17, 2013
11:01PM EST: Despite Tim McCarver doing a depressingly wistful reading of 'Enter Sandman' lyrics, Mo does his job (as always) and retires the side in order. The NL has three outs left to secure homefield advantage in the World Series.
11:07PM: Prince Fielder hit a triple, would love to know what the odds against that happening were.
Even Prince Fielder was surprised that Prince Fielder tripled http://t.co/JycDPWRVyL— For The Win (@forthewin) July 17, 2013
11:08PM EST: Rivera tells Rosenthal the gesture by both All-Star teams -- they players let him take the field alone -- was remarkable and came in second only to winning the World Series.
Awesome moment as Mariano Rivera takes the mound (Pic: @USATsportsImage): http://t.co/VELTlc0hjL // pic.twitter.com/DNdaLGTTZU— USA TODAY Sports (@USATODAYsports) July 17, 2013
11:23PM EST: The NL gets shut out, losing the game and, more crucially, homefield advantage in the World Series.
11:27 PM EST: It was also the last All-Star game for broadcaster Tim McCarver:
I know Tim McCarver has his many critics but his choking up at signing his scorecard for the HOF at the broadcast's end was pretty touching.— Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) July 17, 2013

Motorola Milestone will get Android 2.2 in September
Motorola isn't undecided about upgrading the Milestone to Froyo anymore.
Which is very good news if you're a Milestone owner.
According to the official Twitter account of O2 Germany, the GSM version of the Droid will also get Android 2.2, and the update will happen in mid to late September.
The tweet in question is in German, but understanding it isn't that hard really.
Google Translate says this means:
O2 Froyo Current Weather: Desire middle / end of August, Galaxy S mid-September, Milestone [!] Middle / end of September, Flipout & X10 tbd
If you ignore the whole "current weather" thing (Google Translate always knows how to make you smile), it's all pretty obvious.
There are other ways to get the latest version of Google's mobile OS on to your Milestone, but if you prefer the manufacturer-sanctioned variety, you've only got a little more than a month to wait.

Walking in Lincoln City, Oregon usually brings to mind such things as strolling along the beach or walking from store to store at the outlet mall.
But there are treasures to be found and things to be learned on a walk down the streets of Lincoln City. But where to walk? On a recent map guided walk provided by the Yachats Coastal Gems Walking Club, I found myself walking on the sidewalks along Hwy 101. Not my first choice for a place to walk, I soon found that there were surprises along the way.
The route started at the "D" River wayside and headed north. On the way, I found interesting art galleries, antique stores and even a walk-up fresh seafood shop. There was fresh Dungenous crab and smoked salmon. I could smell the salmon as I approached. That is not something that you can experience unless you are out of your car and on foot.
In an area of older shops and restaurants I stopped for a bit and enjoyed the murals and frescos on the buildings. They had to date back to the '40's! I noticed that what appeared to be "districts" of Lincoln City had actually been distinct towns in the past. Signs for Oceanlake, for example reminded us of the times before Lincoln city was incorporated.
That part of the walk route ended at The Dorchester and turned west to the ocean. I'd always noticed the yellow Dorchester but didn't know much about it until I walked by it. An information sign related the story of The Dorchester Hotel, once the area's only upscale Inn. Ii was built in 1929 and is listed on the US National Register of Historic Places.
The walked turned west and continued back to the original starting point via ocean views and cottage lined streets.
While you needn't take a map and walk a course like that provided by the walking club, it is well worth it to take a break from your car and slow down to see the details, the history and the lore of Lincoln City.

Reply to invitation promptly and use the correct medium. If you were invited by handwritten invitation it is appropriate to send a handwritten reply; if someone has invited you by email you can reciprocate; if a phone number is given, it is acceptable to call. If you have been invited to a big event, such as a wedding, a reply card is often included so always use this to respond. If you'd like to add anything, such as an explanation as to why you can't attend the event, this should be done in a separate letter.
A reply to official functions and formal private invitations (including weddings) should be sent, if possible, on headed writing paper and written in the third person. Address it to the hostess, even when the invitation is a joint one from both the host and hostess. State the name of any guests you are bringing if the invitation has been addressed to you 'and Partner' or 'and Family.' Reiterate the date and time in the body of the letter.

Author(s): Proukakis NP, Morgan SA, Choi S, Burnett K
Abstract: We present two gapless mean-field theories for trapped Bose-Einstein condensates, and compare them to the better known Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB)-Popov approach. The proposed theories are based on suitable inclusion of the simplest anomalous average of the Bose field operator. This leads to an effective interaction between two atoms which is both temperature and density dependent, as opposed to the HFB-Popov approach, for which it is constant. These theories are compared to the HFB-Popov approach for a trapped one-dimensional condensate of 2000 atoms. The density profiles and excitation frequencies of the proposed theories differ from the corresponding HFB-Popov ones by at most a few percent.

Cyclones add second TE to recruiting class
Chris Williams
By Chris Williams, CycloneFanatic.com Publisher
It took a while, but the football recruiting trail has officially heated up for Iowa State.
Paul Rhoads added his second tight end commitment in less than a week on Tuesday night by gaining a pledge from Alex Leslie, who stands at 6-foot-5, 220-pounds. Leslie is a hybrid tight end who hails from New Braunfels, Texas. He chose Iowa State over offers from Wake Forest, Florida Atlantic and Memphis.
Leslie caught 25 passes for 300 yards and four touchdowns as a junior.

Just last week, Iowa State added Arizona Western C.C. tight end Emmanuel Bibbs to its 2013 class.
Leslie is the fifth known commitment in Iowa State's 2013 recruiting class.

"Toad", the famous character in Kenneth Graham's The Wind in the Willows, is in a very depressed state, and his good friends Rat, Mole, and Badger are "worried that he might do something silly".... "First they nursed him. Then they encouraged him. Then they told him to pull himself together.... Finally, Badger could stand it no longer.
"Now look here Toad, this can go on no longer," he said sternly. "There is only one thing left. You must have counselling!"
Robert de Board's engaging account of Toad's experience of counselling will capture the imagination of the growing number of people who are interested in counselling and the counselling process. In this sequel to the story of life on the riverbank, Toad and his friends come to life all over again. Heron, the counsellor, uses the language and ideas of transactional analysis as his counselling method. Through the sessions, or chapters of the book, Toad learns how to analyse his own feelings and develop his emotional intelligence. By the end of the book, as debonair as ever, he is setting out on a completely new adventure.
Appropriate for anyone approaching counselling, whether as a student, client or counsellor, Counselling for Toads will appeal to both children and adults of all ages.

"Essential Listening for Counselling Students"
I found this audio book a welcome change of format from all my other 'text books'. It is entertaining and informative and I would argue essential for anyone starting their exploration of Transactional Analysis.
just simply fantastic, such an amazing way to touch on the many emotions and traumas many people face in life. This really is an amazing book
"very entertaining"
this story was a great exploration of transactional analysis from a psychodynamic point of view.
"great slant on one of the classic children's books"
I've listen to it twice and now my 10 year old daughter is loving it. thoroughly recommend it.
Crocs & homework fanatic
"A good introduction to a complex subject."
The characters are brought to life, Toad will get on your nerves, he's supposed to.
"Transactional Analysis in progress"
This book is a light hearted, easy to follow example of how Transactional Analysis can be used to help the depressed client. It can also be of help to the depressed reader; giving clear examples of psychological games people play, how to recognise and make sense of game playing and how to therefore, stop replicating the same story/mistakes in life. It was narrated excellently, with plenty of enthusiasm, enabling the listener to imagine each of the players and get a real feel for their characters! I highly recommend this audio book
"A wonderful introduction"
This audio book is a great way to understand the ins and outs of counselling for the uninitiated. Thank you.
Not sure
The content it gave a voice to toad as well as helping me to be less whack :)
It was easy to listen to and clear a very good narrator.
It made me think and was very informative
It was a really good book I have listened to it several times and gain more with each listen.
Highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to have an insight in their own psychological self and the games we all play with ourselves and others!

Telecom giant AT&T (NYSE:T) might acquire satellite TV company DIRECTV (NASDAQ:DTV). Should investors fear this deal?
Today on Investor Beat, Chris Hill and Motley Fool analyst Mike Olsen talk about the biggest proposed deal of the day. In the wake of the news, both AT&T and DIRECTV stocks were down Tuesday. While many investors may feel like hanging up on the deal, Olsen sees some unappreciated nuances to it. Dow Jones Industrials component AT&T is best known for telecommunications, but many may be surprised to learn the company is also in the video business, with 5.5 million subscribers to its U-verse service. By acquiring DIRECTV, AT&T can become a meaningful provider in the converged-media space, which includes telephone, computer, Internet, and television consumption.
Hill and Olsen then discuss the influence of content providers and how Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) should feel about the possible deal. Olsen notes that while the deal isn't good for consumers, the acquisition will maintain the cable oligopoly. With Comcast's acquisition deal with Time Warner Cable (NYSE:TWC) soon to exert its influence on content providers, AT&T continues the trend.
Are you ready to profit from this $14.4 trillion revolution?
Let's face it: Every investor wants to get in on revolutionary ideas before they hit it big. Like buying PC-maker Dell in the late 1980s, before the consumer computing boom. Or purchasing stock in e-commerce pioneer Amazon.com in the late 1990s, when it was nothing more than an upstart online bookstore. The problem is, most investors don't understand the key to investing in hyper-growth markets. The real trick is to find a small-cap "pure-play" and then watch as it grows in explosive lockstep with its industry. Our expert team of equity analysts has identified one stock that's poised to produce rocket-ship returns with the next $14.4 trillion industry.

I'm a Sweet Author member and author of two books, both sweet. One is a Historical adventure; I love history. My favorite genre to read is Traditional Regency--Jane Austen style. I love books with elegance and taste. There are so many great Historicals out there with sweet heat levels and I hope to see news about some posted here. Two great Historicals I have read this year so far are "It's Elementary, Dear Winifred" and a book called "An Unlikely Missionary"--an epilogue about Jane's Austen's Charlotte Lucas.
Share your great Historical finds!
