I talk to way too many 20somethings who are planning to go to grad school but can't explain what they plan to do with the degree once they get it. Instead, they have a have a vague idea that having a graduate degree will somehow make their career path easier for them … when the reality is that it may make it harder.
Now, of course plenty of career paths do require a graduate degree, and I have no quarrel with people going to school for that purpose. I'm talking about people who can't even explain why they're thinking of (or in) grad school.
Over at U.S. News & World Report today, I take on this topic in more detail, and explain how getting an unnecessary degree can even hurt your job search later. You can read it here.

I fell in love with this dress the moment I put it on. I arrived at my fitting with no idea what I wanted, and knew this dress was the one because of how unique and flattering the design was. It's satin and strapless, with a unique striped design formed from a ribbon that wraps around in a swirl motion, with sequined flowered beads along the ribbon. The dress was worn at a both the ceremony and reception.
- Alterations: I had it slightly hemmed at the bottom because I was wearing flats with it and wanted to avoid too much dragging on the ground. I'm 5'8'', so it's still pretty long. It came all the way to the ground for me.
- Preservation Method: I had it dry cleaned, so it's immaculate.

I just was certified at It's Yoga and felt his presence everyday!
Thank you so much for this Kasey,
Loved the community gardens where to debate philosophy and ethical questions with Larry and obviously the ROCKET !
to set one thing straight: a true yogi, Larry never imposed his pot habit on anyone else, but man, could he smoke.
Larry continues to live on in us, our practice, our way to handle some situations.

I am a curvier woman with a bigger bust (I am a size 12, size Large in shirts, etc. and a 36DD) and do NOT want a wedding dress that is strapless. As you know, a majority of the dresses out there today are strapless. I want a different neckline for my wedding, either one-strap with flowers along it (think Maggie Sottero Destinations collection) or a beautiful sweetheart or capsleeved dress. Oh, and one more slight problem... I am trying to keep it under $1,000.00. Do you think you can help me find the perfect dress for my big day? Thank you so much! Yours, Dorothy"
Aw, yay, we love doing these wedding gown ones! Here are eight gowns in the romantic, destination-y style of the Maggie Sottero Destinations collection, all under $1000. When ordering a gown online, have a reputable tailor in mind and don't forget to order a size or two higher than you normally would: formal gowns tend to run small, and it's way easier to take in a dress than let it out. Congratulations on your wedding, Dorothy! Here's to a lifetime of happiness with your honey!

"Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey" premiered on multiple Fox TV networks on Sunday, March 9, 2014. The premiere episode, "Standing Up in the Milky Way," along with special bonus footage, encores on Monday, March 10 on National Geographic Channel.
The 13 episode series about the universe space exploration will continue to air on Sunday and Monday nights. The episodes air on Sunday (9-10 p.m. ET/PT) across multiple U.S. Fox networks, including Fox Broadcasting Company (FOX), National Geographic Channel, Nat Geo WILD, Nat Geo MUNDO, FX, FXX, FXM, FOX Sports 1, FOX Sports 2 and FOX Life. National Geographic Channel will encore the episodes on Monday (10- 11 p.m. ET/PT).
Host and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson sets the stage, teaching viewers about the infinite universe by taking the Ship of the Imagination to discover earth's Cosmic Address and its coordinates in space in time. Viewers get a brief history lesson, meeting Renaissance Italy's Giordano Bruno, a monk who had a spiritual epiphany about the infinite expanse of the universe during a time when the sky was considered finite. Tyson walks across the Cosmic Calendar, on which all of time has been compressed into a year-at-a-glance calendar, from the Big Bang to the moment humans first make their appearance on the planet in an encore of the "Standing Up in the Milky Way."
The new series takes advantage of new methods of scientific storytelling and photography to present a universe that tickles the imagination.
Three decades after Carl Sagan hosted the series "Cosmos: A Personal Voyage," Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson guides viewers through space. Seth MacFarland ("Family Guy") teamed with Sagan's original creative collaborators Druyan and Soter to conceive the updated series that serves as a successor to the original series, which won Emmy and Peabody awards.
The original series "Cosmos: A Personal Voyage" first premiered in September 1980 on PBS, and for 10 years was the most watched series ever on public television in America. Based on his book of the same name, and written for television by Sagan, Ann Druyan and Steven Soter, the series was a stunning and iconic exploration of the universe as revealed by science that took viewers through a galaxy of topics to help explain the universe, bringing science to the mainstream by explaining complex theories that could be comprehended by non-scientiest and students. Among the areas explored are the life cycle of stars, genetics, laws of planetary motion, the journey to Mars, the search for intelligent life beyond Earth and the big bang theory.

A 170 Year Old Friendship: Polonezköy
An Island of culture in the middle of a giant nature park, Polonezköy is celebrating the 170th anniversary of its founding this year. And it's gearing up now for the cherry festival, June 16-17.
The wooden fences that run right up into the wooded hills at Polonezköy are a throwback to the gardens of old. And the flowery fertile meadows that play host to weddings and festivals preserve their lush green even in summer. Each one of the memory-laden, century-old houses is reminiscent of a museum. The details of everyday life in the houses and gardens are being passed on to future generations in the memories of Polonezköy's children.
Polonezköy cottages with their red tile roofs remind us of a past based on farming and livestock. But those days are long gone and the local people are seeking their future in tourism now. The house Auntie Zosia left behind more than a century ago is a museum today. Approached through a natural tunnel of trees, it takes visitors on a journey into the village's past, like country cottages full of nostalgic objects.
Polonezköy in the wooded hills of Beykoz is just a hop, skip and jump from Istanbul, and we are heading there to hear an extraordinary story. The 20-kilometer road from the Anatolian end of the Second Bosphorus Bridge is marked with signs for deer and antelope, giving some idea of the wildlife in the area. Within a few minutes we find ourselves in a rural atmosphere almost like a mountain village. It's not for nothing they say that spring in Polonezköy is an invitation from the flowers to the wedding of the swallows! A stroll from the village square to the woods is enough to prove it. Farms with horses in the courtyard, quiet picnic areas, rustic restaurants in vine-covered arbors, charming bed&breakfasts… And the historic church and mosque at the entrance to the village are a symbol of tolerance down the centuries. The houses that dot the valley exhibit a unique style of architecture.
Surrounded by wooden fences, these one or two-story white cottages with dark trim all boast gardens. Pheasants, magpies, robins, titmice and wrens are a common sight as you stroll along the dreamy paths, and the eagle on the Polish flag faces the Turkish flag's star and crescent on the banners that fly in the village streets. Who all has not come to visit this lovely village, which was declared a Nature Park in 1994? Composer Franz Lizst, writer Gustave Flaubert, soprano Leyla Gencer, poet Adam Mickiewicz… The story of the village's founding is interesting too. It all started with the Russian occupation of Poland at the end of the 18th century. Taking the side of the Poles, who were inching towards war with Russia at the time, the Ottoman Empire granted permission for a Polish colony to be established in Istanbul. The first houses in what is now Polonezköy went up in 1842. With hard work and by the sweat of their brow, the Polish settlers had soon built a village like those in their homeland. Among the newcomers, some even rose to the rank of general in the Ottoman army. But their greatest contributions were not on the battlefield but in domestic and foreign affairs.
One of them, whose name is synonymous with Polonezköy, was Michal Czajkowski, founder of the village, who named it Adampol in honor of Prince Adam Czartoryski. Czajkowski, whose monumental tomb still stands at Polonezköy, eventually became a Muslim, took the name Mehmed Sadık Pasha and was appointed commander of the Polish units in the Ottoman army. The residents of Adampol were granted equal rights with Turkish villages in the 1908 Constitution, and the village was officially renamed Polonezköy in a friendship treaty signed between Turkey and Poland in 1923. In 1938 the villagers were also granted the right to Turkish citizenship. But the fate of the village began to change with the building of the Second Bosphorus Bridge. As access to the village became easier, farming and livestock gave way to tourism and within a short time the picnic areas, rustic restaurants and family bed&breakfasts became a popular weekend retreat. One by one those who had abandoned the village years earlier began coming back, and the leading promoters of tourism describe their village as 'a natural resort' today. Some 40 touristic facilities in the village are hard put to accommodate all those who show up on Friday night without a reservation.
The people of Polonezköy attribute its popularity to their preservation of their native culture and the area's natural beauty. "We have not destroyed the natural fabric of the village," they say, "instead we have done all we could to preserve it." There's no doubting that when you climb to a high place and look down on the village, you see nothing but greenery. Local residents take great pains to preserve their language and their culture. Modern Polonezköy is a concrete symbol of six centuries of Turkey-Poland relations, a close relationship that continues today. Numerous artists, businessmen, government officials and students visit Polonezköy throughout the year. "We never imagined we'd find a village so beautiful," they say. As for the natives, they invite everyone to experience this monument to friendship and partake in its beauty. It is up to us to graciously accept.
Open buffets offer leisurely breakfasts in simple village homes. Grilled meat and vegetables are also available, and if you like you can even grill the meat yourself on the braziers provided.
Held since 1992, the Polonezköy Cherry Festival takes place this year June 16-17. Livened up by folklore groups coming from Poland, the festival is a visual and audial feast of colorful costumes and happy melodies.
Handmade glassware, knickknacks, wood carvings, embroidery and homemade jams are sold at stands on the village square. And the local cherries are famous.
Interesting wooden sculptures adorn the House of Culture Park on the village square. A joint project by Mimar Sinan University students and artists from Poland, the sculptures represent the unique treasures of Polonezköy.
There is a fun trail for hiking and cycling at Polonezköy. Totaling 5.4 kilometers, it starts from next to the gendarmerie station, circles the village and comes back to the square from Karşı Mahalle.
Polonezköy in Beykoz township is easily accessible by car after you fly to Istanbul. For flight information:
Accommodations in Polonezköy range all the way from simple bed&breakfasts to boutique hotels with swimming pools. Establishments offering honeymoon, weight loss, sports or gourmet specials are also popular with celebrities and VIPs.
A Day In The Countryside
When you stroll down Polonezköy's dark and wooded paths, you will definitely come to spacious clearings loud with birdsong and feel you're in the bosom of nature amidst the sweet-smelling flowers. The choices are endless in this green refuge, which you can use as your observation point for all seasons: reading, lying in the grass, napping in a hammock, long walks, barbecues...
Besides implements used in the production of honey, you will also find photographs and documents at the Beekeeping Museum on the village square. And the village's famous chestnut honey is sold in the museum store.
The local countryside is rich in mushrooms. A range of edible varieties including porcini (prawdziwki) are used in everything from soups and pickles to braised meat and beurek.
One of Polonezköy's oldest historic venues has been opened to visitors as the House in Memory of Aunt Zosia. Letters, books, photographs and objects relating to the history of the village are on display here.
The story of the village from its founding to the present is told in first-hand accounts in the book, Eagle Under the Star and Crescent: Polonezköy, written, and with photographs, by Akgün Akova.
Did You Know?
The countdown has begun at Polonezköy, which celebrates the 170th anniversary of its founding this year. The village is also gearing up for the 600th year of Turkey-Polish relations in 2014 with some surprise events.

On Wednesday July 9, Houston City Council approved an allocation o $265,000 from the BARC Special Revenue Fund to support Animal Transport Operations by Rescued Pets Movement, Inc, a non-profit organization that transports pets to no-kill services in Colorado for adoption. RMI is a non-profit organization that has been working with BARC for more than 4 years.
Currently, BARC receives and cares for 25,000 dogs and cats, far more pets than they can place in Houston. However, in Colorado, where spay and neuter programs have been in place longer, there is a growing demand for adopted pets. RMI has been networking with "no kill" shelters in Colorado to transport pets from BARC to locations where new owners are waiting. Under an existing agreement, RMI will have the responsibility of identifying appropriate non-profit 501(c)(3) shelters in Colorado with no-kill policies, and for transporting animals available for adoption to those locations.
Three officers of RMI spoke on Tuesday to explain the program. Ms. Ria Vandright, Ms. Ann Knight, and Ms. Lisa Belfort outlined the operation and assured council members that she knew of the locations and remained in contact with the new owners of pets, usually receiving photos and follow-up letters.
To date, the operation has saved 3000 dogs and cats from at a cost of $80,000, entirely funded by private sources earmarked for that purpose. All transported animals are shipped with health documents and certificates. BARC now has an all-time high live release rate of 70%, However, the balance o the cost for this year, projected at $365,000, needs to be assured in order for the program to continue successfully, saving an additional 6000 animals.

As if back-to-back map packs weren't enough to keep "Call of Duty: Ghosts" gamers busy, Activision and Infinity Ward have released a brand new game mode for players to enjoy. On Tuesday Callofduty.com announced a new round of updates and hot fixes for "Call of Duty: Ghosts," and one of those updates included a new game mode called "Reinforce."
According to a community post on Callofduty.com "Reinforce" is a new round-based game mode for private matches only. It can be played with other players or game bots, and the players get to select which of the multiplayer maps they wish to play on. There are three ways to win "Reinforce"; eliminate every player on the other team, control two objective points until time runs out, or capture all three flags.
"Reinforce" isn't the only update/hot fix that was announced on Tuesday, there were also some updates made in other areas. The other patches include hot fixes to the spawns in the free-for-all, killed confirmed, team death match, cranked, and blitz game molds.
In addition, the "Bizon." "Vepr," "CBJMS," "IED," and the "Thermobaric Grenades" weapons have all been balanced. The "Bizon's" head shot multiplier was reduced, the minimum and maximum damage was reduced, and the gun's kick was increased. The "Vepr's" sight time was also increased to match that of other SMGs in the game. Both the "CBJMS" and "IED" received damage reductions, and the "Thermobaric Grenades" now inflict half health damage in hardcore mode.
All of these updates and hot fixes are included in latest software update available now on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC. Once you've tried out the "Reinforce," Activision and Infinity Ward are asking for your feedback on Callofduty.com.
"Call of Duty: Ghosts"is the 10th title released in the "Call of Duty" series. The 11th title,"Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare," is set to launch on November 4, 2014. You can pre-order your copy of "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare" now on Callofduty.com.

Young Rwandans with a drive for education through technology
July 9, 2014No Comments
Five high school students by the name "CODE WIZARDS", have a dream to change the world through technology. To do this, they chose to start by helping the young generation to have a chance of growing with a purpose and have easier studying throughout their childhood and above, hence helping to ensure a bright future for them.
The group says that they noticed that Rwanda is developing at a high rate and yet education is not on the same speed especially when it comes to children getting deeply involved. The students say they are trying their best to change this through games applications that promote education.
Arsene Kwitonda, one of the students who came up with this educative game App says that education the children getting is not enough; they lack the most important part of it all.
What children do instead is play games and watch TV only. This made us to decide to make something that can help them to study what they have to, as well as have their usual fun. We came up with the idea of a game, says Arsene Kwitonda.
Literally, from the word itself, "seka" is a Rwandan word for "laugh". And yes it's all about laughing because laughing brings fun, with fun comes happiness, with happiness comes growth, growth shows mind and bright minds, change the world forever
The application is composed of one game mode, with a certain purpose and reason as to why it was created.
Here are the basic things they had to work on in the project: – helping a child to have a quick and good memory, helping a child to have quick thinking about anything.
It is composed of a board with 20 boxes containing hidden random similar images, the player is to click on a hidden box and it reveals the hidden image, then it hides itself again, if another similar image is shown, the player is to re-click on the first place that image was seen.
Until all the images are shown before the given time expires. This helps the player to improve their memory, hence helping in class and as well as in normal life.
"But not just any game, this game will be able to: – Help the child to get used to thinking quick, help a child to sharpen their mind for innovative ideas. Help a kid's memorizing ability to grow, Help children to study as well as have fun," says Arsene Kwitonda.
Kwitonda says that there are lots of things needed to teach the Rwandan young generation apart from just being intelligent, because "after all science without consciousness is just a ruin of the soul".
Through this game, the team believes that before becoming great thinkers with biggest ideas, we first have to know that before all that we are Rwandans and we need to know our own culture and customs.
Thus all pictures used involve the Rwandan cultural tools, which will help the child to know the Rwandan tools. The name is in "Kinyarwanda", this should help even those who don't know any other language apart from Kinyarwanda, to also know that they also can play the game
Target group
For a tree to grow it all starts with the roots, for a world to change, it all starts from the youth. If we want to change our world, then we have to start by changing its future leaders.
That being said, the game is basically to serve the young children between 2years and above. Luckily enough this application is not for sale and the group wants to start marketing the app to all schools starting with students in Kigali.

By Andrew Thomason, Illinois Statehouse News
Leaders in neighboring states have used Illinois' recent income tax increase to try to lure businesses into moving, and Wisconsin could soon have another piece of bait in that battle: tax breaks.
A plan to forgive income taxes for two years for businesses that move to Illinois' northern neighbor has passed through one chamber of Wisconsin's Legislature and is now awaiting state Senate approval. The measure got overwhelming approval in Wisconsin's Republican-controlled state Assembly, and could be passed out of the Republican-controlled state Senate as early as next week. It would then go to GOP Gov. Scott Walker, who campaigned on corporate income tax breaks.
"It's like when you see these rental properties that might have a bunch of empty units and offers the first month's rent free if you sign a lease with us. It's the same concept," Walker spokesman Cullen Werwie said.
Walker has been vocal about trying to lure companies out of Illinois and into his state since the income tax hike, but at least one Wisconsin business isn't listening. Jim Rozell owns a hotel analytics company in Glendale, WI, but plans to relocate to Chicago by the end of the year. Hotel Compete currently has five employees, but Rozell said he will likely hire 10 more people once he comes to Illinois.
Rozell said he started planning the move before taxes went up Illinois, but hearing about it didn't deter him. "Initially one of my big deciding factors was that taxes were much lower (in Illinois). Even with your tax increase, it's still lower than Wisconsin," Rozell said.
Quinn's office has been working to counter claims by Walker and opponents of the tax increase in Illinois that employers will flee the state now. Earlier in the week it was announced that Evraz Inc., a steel company, will locate its North American headquarters to Chicago, bringing with it 70 jobs. And Quinn's office sent out a release Friday afternoon announcing that Becker Iron & Metal, a scrap metal company, would be moving from Missouri to Illinois, bringing with it 40 jobs.

Quinn can brag all he wants about bringing two giants (metal companies)to Illinois. (Sarcastic), but its going to be the small ones that we put out of business, plus not luring the larger manufacturers ie; automotive and the like who employ hundreds to thousand employees.
No, tax, tax, tax, without significant budget cuts is the answer. (again sarcastic)

I won't do business with any company that has a policy like that. The best way to show them they are being short sighted is to not give them any money and convince anyone you can to do the same.
Haven't had a problem carrying in VA at an Outback...

I was in Oklahoma City last week on business and ate dinner one evening at an Outback. I did not see any signs and no one there saw my gun.

I carry concealed so I have no problems. If I see a no gun sign they don't get my business till it's gone. I'm in Knoxville quite a bit . It looks like I won't be eating at Outback Steak House.
Buckeye has it right from our perspective. I saw the thread and immediately thought "no, the alcohol does". If and went we get to carry in restaurants like Outback, I might reconsider my stance. As of right now though, god their steaks are good and the damned sauted mushrooms. Mmmmmmm.

Interestingly enough, the last time i went to Outback was because the Subway we intended to dine at had posted a gunbusters sign.
I do love their bread.
To my knowledge no signs in Missouri Outbacks... Then again, I don't look too hard for signs on restaurants in Missouri either.

Haven't noticed any signs in Kentucky.
I sent an email to him, and got the same response that 19COLT11 got.
However, I went to Plan B, did some research, and found the Corporate Officers for Outback (and other eateries) at OSI Restaurant Partners, LLC.
See belowMr. Allen (firstname.lastname@example.com) is the Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Avery (firstname.lastname@example.com) is the Chief Operating Officer.Mr. Avery and Mr. Allen:
I sent the following to Mr. Ruberto yesterday:
__________________________________________________ __________________
It has come to the attention of members of Defensecarry.com - defensecarry Resources and Information. that you have indicated, based on an inquiry from Tennessee, that you do not permit concealed carry in your establishment.
Sir, I have lived in Florida and carried since 2000. I have eaten in your establishment. As far as I know, since 1987 no person with a concealed carry permit valid in Florida (from Florida or the other 32 states that permit concealed carry and have reciprocity with Florida) has shot up an Outback Steak House. There are no signs here (and would be invalid any way), and the only limitation is that you can not sit and drink at the bar. You can eat and drink in the dining area.
If this is your national rule, or just something dreamed up for Tennessee - given the gunfire in the streets issue that always seems to pop up when law-abiding people have the ability to carry concealed. Trust me, robbers would not pay any attention to your signs of NO GUNS ALLOWED.
__________________________________________________ ________________
What follows is what appears to be a canned response. He indicates that it is some sort of corporate policy, which seems to be not true anywhere else in the country where you can take a concealed carry weapon into an eatery that also serves alcohol. I assume that you, since your headquarters is in Tampa, you have a better idea on the problem than he has in Nashville. As far as anybody has indicated on Defensecarry.com - defensecarry Resources and Information., this policy is not followed anywhere else.
Could you please look into this, and either confirm the policy, or enlighten Mr. Ruberto of the experience of other states that OSI Restaurant Partners LLC (Outback Steakhouse, Carrabha's, Bonefish Grill, Fleming's and Roy's), especially Florida.

Dear Mr. Foster;
Thank you for your recent email concerning the newly passed gun law in the State of Tennessee. While we respect the right of all citizens to bear arms, it is our decision to not allow people to do so in our restaurants. This is a corporate decision. We are not disrespectful of the rights of gun owners, we merely want all of our guests to feel welcomed and safe, and frankly see no need for guns to be brought into restaurants.
Please feel free to call me if there are any additional concerns or questions.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
Joe Ruberto
Outback Steakhouse
I await their reply. If anybody else wants to contact them, be my guest....

Two Global Hawk unmanned aircraft have flown in close formation at distances as close as 30 feet (9 m) for the first time. The series of flights took place between January 11 and May 30 this year and marked a major milestone on the way to demonstrating the first autonomous aerial refueling between two unmanned, high-altitude aircraft as part of DARPA's Autonomous High-Altitude Refueling (AHR) program.Read More
There's only so much that we can learn about hurricanes by looking at them from the ground, or by observing them using distant satellites. Aircraft, on the other hand, give researchers an aerial view of the weather systems, while also allowing for direct measurements of variables such as temperature and humidity – the one catch is, would you want to be in a plane that was circling over a hurricane? Probably not. That's one of the reasons why NASA is using Global Hawk UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) to study hurricanes off the east coast of the U.S.Read More
Northrop Grumman has announced that it will collaborate with Canadian aerospace and defence company L-3 MAS to send a variant of the Global Hawk Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) into Arctic skies. Read More
Northrop Grumman's Block 40 Global Hawk has new eyes. The unmanned aircraft completed its first full system flight carrying the production version of the next-gen Multi-Platform Radar Technology Insertion Program (MP-RTIP) sensor at Edwards Air Force Base, California, on July 21.Read More
The first of the next generation of Northrop Grumman's Block 40 configuration RQ-4 Global Hawk has successfully completed its first flight. The two hour flight took the aircraft from Northrop Grumman's manufacturing facility in Palmdale, California to Edwards Air Force Base, California. Designated AF-18, the Block 40 configuration of the high-altitude, long-endurance (HALE) unmanned aircraft system (UAS) will carry the Multi-Platform Radar Technology Insertion Program (MP-RTIP) active electronically scanned array radar that will help warfighters detect, track and identify stationary and moving targets.Read More
March 28, 2008 Northrop Grumman Corporation's RQ-4 Global Hawk has successfully completed a flight lasting 33.1 hours at altitudes up to 60,000. While the milestone does not match the 54 hour flight achieved by QinetiQ's Zephyr in 2007, it is a record for a full-scale, operational unmanned aircraft - and there was still fuel left in the tank.Read More
November 11, 2005 The Global Hawk UAV was still in its development stages when the needs of the war in Afghanistan saw it pressed into service. Since then, Global Hawk has successfully completed more than 225 missions through three deployments and more than 4,900 combat flight hours. Now the aircraft has been redesigned to carry 50% more payload, so the Air Force can install additional sensors, enhancing its ability to simultaneously collect imagery, signals intelligence and infrared and radar information, and transfer it to the warfighting machine in near-real time. Global Hawk flies autonomously at an altitude of more than 60,000 feet, above inclement weather and prevailing winds, for 35+ hours at a time. During a single mission, it can provide detailed intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance information in near-real time over 40,000 square miles - approximately the size of Illinois.Read More

This sample diet for gestational diabetes is only an example of what is practical. Talk to your health care team for more specific details about the correct diet for you.
The goal is to provide enough nutrients to support your body and meet the needs of your growing baby. At the same time, the diet must maintain proper blood glucose levels.
Your calorie requirements will change during your pregnancy. For example, you would need extra 300 calories per day during the second and third trimester.
The following diet plan is an example only. The purpose is to show you some variations and ideas.
Every woman is unique and so are her dietary requirements. Therefore, it is vital that you follow a diet plan designed for you personally.
Speak to your health care team to model a diet plan that is appropriate for you.
Meal planning should focus on eating several small meals throughout the day. Small, frequent meals support the stabilization of blood glucose levels better than larger, infrequent meals.
The combinations of foods are also very important. The age-old saying is "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Eating seven apples on Sunday is a bad thing, where one per day is good.
Another non-negotiable rule is to drink at least eight glasses of water every day.
Adding to the examples below, drink at least eight glasses of water per day. A glass of water with every meal and snack, and you have had six glasses already.
Drinking plenty of water is important in building body fluids, digestion and blood circulation. Extra water also aids the kidneys in expelling the extra sugar from the blood.
Find out more about portion sizes at: Gestational Diabetes Menu.
The examples of a sample diet for gestational diabetes above, is just a starting point.
Your diet must include a regular supply of nutrients for both, you and your baby. Therefore, it is essential to make proper choices among a selection of healthy foods.

To Tame a Renegade
Connie Mason
2003 reissue of 1998 release, Frontier/Western Hist Romance (1880s Wyoming)
Leisure, $5.99, 384 pages, Amazon ASIN 0505525089Part of a series
The database was not programmed to accept F+ and F- grades; this review was originally an F-
I guess I can't leave it at that - you'll want details. Well, I can't review this book. Sorry, I just can't. I'm not even going to tell you the plot. It's too inane. As I read this book, I found myself becoming more and more irritated by the inane inconsistencies, the inane characters, and the inane plot. I got half-way through, and finally gave up. That's right - I did not finish this book, and I don't intend to.
I knew I was in trouble when, on page 3, Chad Delaney rode "his spirited black stallion down the rutted road, noting the vast number of saloons on the main drag." Main drag? In 1882 Wyoming? Sounds like 1955 Bikerville. Then, on page 6 - three pages later! - Chad "patted the big gray gelding, his favorite
" Not only a horse of a different color, but somewhere on that trip down the "main drag," poor horsy lost some very important body parts! I can certainly see why he was no longer so spirited.
Things went downhill from there.
Sarah Somethingorother is a social pariah. She has borne a child, Abner, out of wedlock, and the entire town, including her way over-the-top religious parents, have made her an outcast, labeling her a whore. Chad comes along and saves little Abner from a pounding by some rough boys, and takes the kid home. In a matter of seconds, Chad buys the taunts of "whore" the ruffians had leveled Abner's mother, so he shows up at Sarah's expecting to find a slut at the door.
He immediately tells Sarah she should be a better parent and starts railing at her about child care (a subject with which he is not at all familiar). Since she is not a whore, like duh, to earn a living, Sarah takes in laundry. During their argument, Chad and Sarah do a tug-of-war thing over a kettle, and Chad abruptly lets go, causing Sarah to fall into a vat of boiling water, severely burning her hands and arms. How does he react? He pulls his gun when she screams (in agony) thinking her screams mean trouble. Like, what an idiot! Then, when he is forced to take care of her and the boy, he whines, and moans, and carries on about how this situation has just really interrupted his plans to catch the bad guy. He never even says he's sorry she got hurt, or takes responsibility for his part in having caused her horrific injuries.
Later, Chad has to help Sarah change clothes, and he begins making sexual innuendoes to her, even though nothing has happened between them. After one of his tasteless remarks, Sarah "flushed and gazed down at her bathrobe tellingly." Bathrobe? In 1882? A wrapper, maybe. Then, there are the words and actions which create images that are not only inconsistent, but very off-putting. "You look much better," Carrie said approvingly. "I'll just empty this chamberpot for you and see about breakfast." Eeeeeww! I read this part to my 13-year-old daughter. Know what she said? Eeeeeww! (I don't want to gross you out, but she went on to make a hysterical reference to breakfast links that is better left to your imagination.)
I found something on virtually every page that had me shaking my head. But, the final straw came for me when Chad tries to get Sarah in the sack. He still insists she must be a whore (because local ruffians have such a reputation for credibility, after all), even in the face of overwhelming evidence that she is not, plus Sarah has explained that Abner was the result of a rape. Sad over her unfair treatment, Sarah begins to cry and says, "I'm not a whore, no matter what you've heard. Granted I'm an unwed mother, but that doesn't make me a bad person." Ahhhhhhh!
Much has been said of how reviewers treat reviews of books they have not cared for. I try to keep my reviews fair and honest without going for the jugular. But I have to say, this was probably the worst published book I have ever read. I'm sorry, my aim is not to hurt anyone. But I am truly at a loss ... it is a complete mystery to me how a book so poorly written, so badly edited, with page-after-page-after-page of glaring inconsistencies, historical inaccuracies, and inane dialogue, ever got published in the first place.
P.S. The minus in F- is for that poor horse. Someone really should have caught that one.

YF509: HANDLING CRISIS IN YOUTH AND FAMILY MINISTRY. Amy E. Jacober.
DESCRIPTION: This course presents an overview of crises that face the youth minister from three angles a) crises within the life of an adolescent both personally and systemically, b) crises that occur in the family of an adolescent, and c) crises which may occur in the life of the youth minister.

SIGNIFICANCE FOR LIFE AND MINISTRY: In ministry to adolescents and their family's crisis is not a matter of if but when. While it is impossible to anticipate what nature the crisis will take, the majority will fall into a few broad categories. Learning to identify the pastoral response to a wide spectrum of crisis situations and having worked with a template for appropriate theological response to such, a youth and family worker will be able to bridge the gap between caring pastor and resourcing professional
LEARNING OUTCOMES: Upon successful completion of this course, students will have demonstrated (1) ability identify a crisis issue, including theological and secular issues involved; (2) how to analyze and reflect based on issues to determine praxis; (3) when to refer and how to pull together a viable resource guide; (4) the ability to claim the role of minister/Christian in the midst of crisis.

College Hockey:League evens up as Dutchmen start to pull away
There's no more games in hand from here on out, as all of the ECAC teams are at an even amount of conference games played with three weekends left. Still, there's little settled heading down the stretch run.
Colgate jumped back into first-round bye with a 6-1 thumping of Cornell Saturday. It was the Big Red's first loss since Nov. 30, a span of nine games. Quinnipiac, Clarkson and Yale each split, while Union swept to take a three-point lead over the Bobcats for first place. The Dutchmen play four of their final six games on the road, but went 3-1 without suspended head coach Rick Bennett, who will be back behind the bench Friday at Cornell.
Clarkson should be in the mix for first-round bye, although the Golden Knights travel to Union in two weeks and host Quinnipiac on the final day of the regular season. As for Yale, the defending national champions chances at a top-four spot are slowly slipping away, but there's still a chance. The Bulldogs have four games left at home and two on the road. Those away games are against struggling Harvard and Dartmouth, but don't lock up four points for Yale just yet. The Bulldogs lost to the Big Green 4-1 on Dec. 6, and followed that up with a 2-2 against the Crimson the next night.
Golden Knights and Bobcats wear each other down.
First, there was some history. Then, there were whistles. A lot of them.
Quinnipiac forward Connor Jones scored ten seconds into Friday's win over Clarkson after scoring eight seconds in against Dartmouth last weekend. Jones is the first player in NCAA history to score a goal in the first 10 seconds of a game twice in his career.
Matthew Peca scored 1:04 later to make it 2-0 Quinnnipiac, although the Golden Knights tied it early in the second period with two quick goals of their own, before the Bobcats regained the lead for good midway through the period. But a barrage of penalties marred what was an exciting game that featured three video reviews of shots that went off iron.
"In the end, that's not how college hockey is supposed to be played," Bobcats head coach Rand Pecknold said. "That's late 90s, early 2000s. We're supposed to clean all that stuff out of the game, the hooking, the holding, the cork-screwing. I was disappointed the game escalated to that. Both teams were at fault. We're supposed to play a wide-open, entertaining type of hockey. I guess once in a while, everything falls back to that."
Quinnipiac was called for 12 penalties totaling 24 minutes, while Clarkson had 47 penalty minutes on 18 infractions.
"I thought it was a situation where two teams were battling pretty hard," Golden Knights head coach Casey Jones said. "You're battling for league points; hopefully it doesn't get to the point where someone gets hurt I didn't think that was the case. I thought it was a situation where two teams where battling pretty hard."
The Bobcats were only 1-for-11 on the power play, but Jones said that using Clarkson's top players on the penalty-kill unit wore down the Golden Knights as the game went on.
Equipment malfunction
There's already been one game cancelled this season due to a compressor failure. Friday's game between Harvard and Dartmouth wasn't cancelled, but a zamboni broke down at the Bright-Landry Hockey Center, delaying the start of the game until 8:49 p.m. and resulting in this sequence. The Crimson blanked the Big Green 3-0, and face Boston University Monday at 4:30 p.m. in the Beanpot consolation game.

Yakov Zak was one of the greatest names in Soviet piano performing and teaching but remained little known abroad. A student of Heinrich Neuhaus, his vast repertoire concentrated on Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin and Brahms. Along with Emil Gilels, Zak was a staunch defender of Prokofiev. Endowed with Olympian technique and a clear, solid sense of form, he remains a model, a humanist whose current discography is amazingly meager. He died of a heart attack in 1976 shortly after a brutal police interrogation.

This is a great product. My husband and I both loved these. I actually made up to much batter for just the two of us, so covered what I couldn't use and put it in the refrigerator to use the next day. Still Awesome.

In the upcoming tax year, Williston residents may be subject to a fire assessment for the first time in the city's history.
The City Council voted at its most recent meeting to implement a Resolution of Intent to fund fire and rescue services by the imposition of an annual fee on all property within the city limits of Williston.
City Attorney Norm Fugate said that city residents pay no fire assessments to Levy County, as occupants of the unincorporated portions of the county do.
One suspect is dead and four others are under arrest after a home invasion early Wednesday.
According to a news release, the invasion occurred in the 19000 block of Northwest County Road 335 in Marion County, just outside of the Williston area.
Officials say two armed suspects unlawfully entered the residence, and as a result a homeowner "retrieved a firearm and shot and killed one suspect."
The second suspect fled along with some others.
The dead man was identified as Jonathan Gaal, 19, of Southeast 70th Loop in Ocala.

Bethany Church
to hold centennial
On July 25-27 the Bethany Church of Christ will celebrate its centennial with a gospel meeting.
Each day one of the men who previously preached at this church will return with a lesson on how the Love of God can save your soul, and preserve a congregation of believers for 100 years.
Gospel meeting
set in Morriston
Morriston Church of Christ is "Celebrating 100 Years" with a gospel meeting July 25-27.
On Wednesday, July 9, a road sign was unveiled that honors a local hero; a stretch of U.S. 441 is now designated as the Lt. Colonel Robert T. Heagy Jr. Memorial Highway.
Lt. Col. Robert T. Heagy Jr. resided in Williston before he died in 2005. He was born just outside of Archer in 1930. Lt. Col. Heagy Jr. became assistant to the base commander when he entered the Air Force. He soon became an officer. Lt. Col. Heagy Jr. served in the military for over 30 years. For 28 of those years he was a fighter pilot.
A 63-year-old Fanning Springs resident has been charged with impersonating a police officer, and luring and enticing a child into his vehicle.
Levy County Sheriff's Investigator Lauree Allen arrested William Silas Johns July 10 on the charges.
The 6-year-old girl who reported the July 2 incident was not physically harmed, according to a sheriff's office press release.
Cpl. David Wayne Moss will be honored by a grateful city 20 years after his death in the line of duty. A memorial to Moss was erected several years ago in front of the Williston Police Department headquarters. Now, city council has directed that SW Main St., which runs from Noble Ave. to the public safety complex at SW 1st Ave., be renamed Cpl. David Wayne Moss St.
The decision grew from an initial suggestion by Lt. Clay Connolly that the Linear Park be renamed in Moss' honor. Connolly had made the same request some years ago, but no action had been taken.
Williston Police and Fire personnel, along with CERT volunteers searching for a local girl Monday morning were relieved when the girl was found after several hours of searching.
Rachel Tiffany Blakely, 16, left her residence in the Williston Crossing RV Park at 3:30 p.m. Sunday and was not found until 10:15 a.m. Monday morning.
Blakely reportedly left her residence after a disagreement with her younger brother. Originally from Washington State, she has only been in the area for two months, is home schooled, does not drive and is not familiar with the area.
A request by Goethe Trailhead Ranch to convert 37 of 73 recreational vehicle sites into stationary park trailers drew sharp criticism from neighbors before being approved by the Levy County Commission on Tuesday.
The Ranch, located at 9171 Southeast Levy County Road 337 between Williston and Dunnellon, is a horse-themed resort with a lighted arena, convenience store, tack and feed store, the Chuck Wagon Diner, 96 box stalls for horses, and access to more than 120 miles of trails in Goethe State Forest.
The public's opportunity to give the Levy County Commission their opinion on the proposed Progress Energy two-unit nuclear plant near Inglis will come at an informational hearing at 7 p.m. on August 7 in the Levy County Courthouse courtroom.
The hearing, required as part of the plant's application process, would be the only one held by the Commission.

Penokee Range's Mackenzie McCorkle, right, slides into home plate Sunday at Steiger Field in Bessemer. She was called out on the tag by the Negaunee catcher on what would have been the go-ahead run in the top of the sixth inning. Negaunee went on to win with a run in the bottom of the sixth for a 6-5 victory in the Little League District 11 ages 11-12 softball tournament.
BESSEMER — The Penokee Range All-Stars lost a heartbreaker, 6-5, to Negaunee Sunday during the District 11 ages 11-12 Little League softball tournament.
Penokee plays Portage Lake tonight at 5:30 p.m. here. The loser is eliminated from the tournament, but the winner advances to play Negaunee in a championship game Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. Negaunee can take the tourney with one win, but its opponent needs to beat Negaunee twice in the double-elimination event. The second game would be Wednesday.
Penokee Range is made up of kids from Ironwood, Hurley, Bessemer and Wakefield.
Negaunee led 5-2 in the early goings Sunday, but Penokee Range fought all the way back to tie the game at 5-5 in the sixth inning. Penokee's potential go-ahead run, Mackenzie McCorkle, was thrown out at the plate in a very close play in the top of the sixth.
Negaunee's hit with two outs and two on base scored the game winner in the bottom of the sixth.
"It was a heartbreaker," Penokee manager Amanda Niemi said. "What a game. Very proud of my girls."
Hanna Koivisto took the loss for Penokee. She struck out two, walked three and allowed six hits.
"Hanna pitched one heck of a game and they all played well," Niemi said. "Just need to swing the bat some more (today). One day at a time. We will face Portage Lake and then we hope to be seeing them (Negaunee) again on Tuesday."
McCorkle went 4 for 4 on her birthday for Penokee. Martina Anderson was 2 for 2.
Malorie Munson picked up the win for Negaunee. She had 14 strikeouts with four walks and seven hits allowed.
Penokee started the weekend with a 15-4 win over Baraga County Saturday. Haley Halvorsen was 4 for 4 for Penokee. Megan Peterson picked up the win. She had five strikeouts and she allowed nine walks and three hits.
Negaunee beat Portage Lake 6-3 in Saturday's other opening-round game.
In Sunday's losers bracket matchup, Portage Lake stayed alive with a 19-6 victory over Baraga County.

Wildcat Swimmers Face Arch-Rival Sun Devils to End 1999-00 Dual Meet Season
This Week's Schedule: This Saturday, Feb. 12, the Arizona men's and women's teams, both ranked No. 2 in the country, will swim the Arizona State Sun Devils at the Mona Plummer Aquatic Center in Tempe. The meet will begin at 1:00 p.m. and be contested in short-course meters. The Arizona State men are coming off a 206-147 loss to No. 1 Texas, on Saturday, Jan. 29, at the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center in Tucson. The Sun Devil men are currently ranked No. 11 and are 2-6 overall. The ASU men have also won four consecutive dual meets against UA, including last year's 150-143 upset in Tucson. Meanwhile the Sun Devil women have accumulated a record of 3-3 on the year and are ranked 18th in the country. In its most recent action, the ASU women's squad defeated Northern Arizona, 139-99, on Sunday, Jan. 30 in Flagstaff. The Wildcat women are also in the midst of a five-year winning streak versus ASU.
Last Time Out: (WOMEN) The second-ranked Arizona women's squad captured five of six events in both the morning session and afternoon session of day two, helping them run away from No. 12 Texas by a score of 247-106 (1/29/00) at Hillenbrand Aquatic Center. For Arizona, three Cats won two events each and UA captured both relay events that were contested on Saturday to help them record their fourth victory of the year against a Top-25 team. In her final appearance at Hillenbrand Aquatic Center senior Trina Jackson was victorious in both the 100 fly (2:04.87) and 1,650 free (16:41.16) helping to build a 93 point lead after the completion of the first two sessions. Also strong for Arizona was the freshman duo of Amanda Beard and Beth Botsford. Botsford notched first-place finishes in the 100 back, with a time of 56.11 and 200 back (2:00.40). The wins allowed Botsford to remain undefeated in both those events as she pushed her record this year to 11-0 in each event. Beard was victorious in the 100 breast (1:04.58) and 200 breast (2:14.81) and joined Botsford on the first-place 200 medley relay team (1:44.33).
(MEN) Meanwhile, the No. 2 Wildcat men fell short in their bid to upset top-ranked and undefeated Texas (1/29/00), falling by a final tally of 206-147. For the Wildcat men senior Ryk Neethling closed out his amazing career at the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center by cruising to victory in the 1,650 free and the 200 free. In the mile, Neethling dominated the field from the start and finished in a time of 15:02.88, over 27 seconds ahead of his nearest competitor. In the 200, Neethling clocked a first-place time of 1:38.04, bettering that of teammate, junior Jay Schryver, who finished second (1:39.04). Other Arizona event winners versus Texas included sophomore Roland Schoeman (100 free; 43.99) and freshman Jeff Dash (200 fly; 1:47.09). Cats in the Polls: The men enter the meet ranked No. 2 in the nation in the Jan. 20 edition of the Speedo America College Swimming Coaches Association Top-25 poll, while the Arizona women are also ranked second. On the women's side, the Wildcats trail only defending-champion Georgia, while the men find themselves behind No. 1 Texas. Other Pac-10 men's teams in the rankings include No. 4 California, No. 5 Stanford, No. 6 USC, and Arizona State in the No. 11 spot. In the women's poll, Stanford is No. 3, USC No. 4, California No. 5, UCLA No. 15 and ASU at No. 18.
Summer 1999; Wildcats Around the Globe: The Arizona men's and women's swimming teams recently completed a busy summer that showcased Wildcat athletes in action in four different countries, on three different continents. At the 1999 Pan Pacific Games in Sydney, Australia two current Wildcats showcased their skills as members of the United States squad, while another competed for South Africa. The competition took place August 23-29, at the Olympic swimming venue that will be used during the 2000 Olympic Games. Arizona senior Ryk Neethling, the 1998-99 NCAA Division I Swimmer of the Year, added to his list of accolades by earning three medals for his native South Africa. He started the competition on day one by claiming the bronze medal in the 400-meter freestyle by clocking a 3:46.31 and followed with another third place finish on day three, in the 200-meter freestyle (1:48.17). Already the most decorated male swimmer in school history, Neethling garnered a silver medal in the 1,500-meter freestyle by swimming a 15:02.40, on the final day of competition. Wildcat junior Jay Schryver also competed in this prestigious event by taking part in the 50-meter freestyle (23.24), 100-meter freestyle (50.82) and the 200-meter freestyle (1:51.69). On the women's side, UA sophomore Sarah Tolar placed in all three events that she entered. Tolar's biggest accomplishment of the weekend came when she advanced the finals of the 200-meter freestyle on day three and finished in seventh place overall, by clocking a 2:01.14. Day two saw Tolar swim a 4:22.39 in the 400-meter freestyle, to finish in 16th place and on day five she finished 10th in the 100-meter freestyle (56.77). The most impressive performance of the summer came at the 1999 Pan American Games (August 1-7) in Winnipeg, Canada, as four Arizona swimmers hauled in a total of seven medals, while competing in only nine events. Arizona senior Denali Knapp lead the way for the Cats as she set two Pan American Games records and came away with two gold medals and one silver. The first record came in the 200-meter backstroke, as Knapp finished in a time of 2:12.48, ahead of Wildcat teammate, freshman Beth Botsford, who clocked a 2:12.95, to earn the silver medal. In the 4x100-meter medley relay Knapp lead off the race by swimming the backstroke leg in a time of 1:01.85, helping the United States team to a Pan American games record time of 4:06.08 and the gold medal. Knapp also swam to a silver medal in the 100-meter backstroke with a time of 1:02.45, while Botsford earned the bronze in the same race (1:02.48). The highlight on the men's side belonged to senior Matt Allen who medaled in two separate Pan American events. Allen earned a silver medal as a member of the 4x100-meter medley relay squad, as he lead off with a backstroke leg time of 55.84. Meanwhile, in the 100-meter backstroke Allen finished in third place, after swimming a time of 55.86. Fellow Arizona senior Nat Lewis competed in two distance freestyle events at the games, finishing fourth in the 1,500-meter freestyle (15:44.15) and eighth in the 400-meter freestyle (3:58.99). On the island of Palma de Mallorca, Spain (July 8-13) four Wildcat athletes earned four medals and joined thousands of athletes from around the globe, to experience the magic of the World University Games. Wildcat sophomore Katie Zimbone acquired the first of her two medals, as she swam the leadoff leg (2:03.19) of the gold-medal winning 800-meter freestyle relay squad. Arizona teammate, sophomore Caroline Kilian swam the third leg (2:04.74) of that same relay to take home a gold medal of her own. Zimbone garnered her second medal as she finished third in the 400-meter freestyle, in a time of 4:17.30. Also on the women's side, freshman Amanda Beard, the American record holder in the 100-meter breaststroke, earned a silver in that same event, by racing to a 1:10.23. The Arizona men were represented by senior Rob Henikman, who placed 10th in the 100-meter breaststroke, in a time of 1:03.94.
Golden Newcomers: Beth Botsford, a Garrison Forest High School product (Timonium, Md.), who was a double gold-medalist at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, is beginning her first year at the University of Arizona this season. Botsford, who swam for North Baltimore Aquatics was the 1996 Olympic champion in the 100 meter backstroke in 1996 and was also a member of the gold medal-winning 400 meter medley relay squad at the Olympic Games. She is currently a member of the 1998-99 United States National Team, which is comprised of USA swimmers who rank in the top-eight in the world in their respective events. Botsford was also a World Championships team member in 1998 and holds the distinction of being the 12th fastest woman ever in the 200 backstroke (2:10.66). Irvine (Calif.) High School swimmer Amanda Beard, who won a gold medal and two silvers at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta is another freshman newcomer to the UA swimming program. Beard, who has swam for the Irvine Novaquatics club team for the last eight years, won silver medals in the 100 and 200-meter breaststroke at the Atlanta Games and won the gold on the United States' 400-meter medley relay. She is the American record holder in the 100m breaststroke (short course) with a time of 1:06.67 in December, 1999 and is a three-time U.S. national champion.
Next Time Out: Thursday, Feb. 24 through Saturday, Feb. 26 Arizona will be the host school for the 2000 Women's Pac-10 Conference Swimming Championships to be held at the Belmont Plaza Olympic Pool in Long Beach, Calif. Meanwhile, the Pac-10 Diving Championships (men and women) will be held at the McDonalds Swim Stadium on the campus of USC, during the same days.

Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Keers Color is just right I was a little nervous-either this rug will be fantastic or... The yellow is deep and vibrant and a great "pop of color" piece, but not obnoxious. Love the flat weave wool as well; it works well for layering on top of wall-to-wall carpet. January 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by troubler pretty color A nice bit of brightness, rough but comforting, dense weave. Bought the recommended rug pad, using on hardwood floors, it slips a bit but not too bad. November 16, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by amaneta Crooked, rough and not so yellow I ordered this online, and I hadn't seen it in a store, but it is much less yellow than in the picture. I was hoping for a really vibrant yellow, but this rug is just plain, mild yellow. Not like the picture at all. It fades into my wood floor. It's also incredibly rough. My cat loves scratching it...it compares to her scratching post. And lastly, it's crooked. I appreciate a well made handwoven rug, but I keep trying to straighten it when it's not straighten-able. And, of course, it went on sale for 50% off just after I purchased it so I really missed the boat on this one. Not recommended at all. October 23, 2014

TUCSON, Ariz.- Arizona women's basketball head coach Joan Bonvicini today announced that she has received National Letters of Intent for the 2006-07 academic year from Rheya and Rhaya Neabors of Fullerton, Calif., Marie McGee of Las Cruces, N.M., and Beatrice and Suzanne Bofia, junior college transfers from Illinois Central College by way of Yaounde, Cameroon, Africa.
"This is potentially the best recruiting class we've had here at Arizona," Bonvicini said. "These student-athletes have the total package- they are great players, great people and great students.
"This is the first time I've ever had a set of twins and now I have two," she continued. "Our team is very close, like a family, and the twin connections will make us even closer and our team more special. We like to call them the Twin Powers (Neabors) and Twin Towers (Bofias)."
The Neabors twins played their freshmen seasons at Ayala High School in Chino, Calif., before moving to Fullerton, where they have played the past two seasons at Fullerton Troy High School.
Rheya Neabors, a 6-2 forward, is ranked No. 31 by The Blue Star Report heading into her senior season. She's also listed as No. 16 at the position and 86th overall by the All-Star Girls Report (ASGR). A two-time Freeway League first team selection, she was named MVP of the Troy Tournament in 2004-05 and has been named to every all-tournament team in which she has participated in each of the last two years. In addition, she was named All-CIF in 2003-04 and was the state regional semifinals player of the game. Last year as a junior, she was the CIF Division II AA MVP.
Rhaya Neabors, a 6-1 forward, is ranked No. 56 by Blue Star. She's also listed in ASGR. Also a two-time Freeway League first team selection, she, too, has been named to every all-tournament team in each of the last two years. Rhaya was a second team All-CIF selection in 2003-04 and a first team pick last season as a junior. She was also named first team all-county in 2004-05.
"The Neabors twins come from an outstanding high school program and were 2005 state champions," Bonvicini says. "Troy's style of play is very similar to ours- an up-tempo, pressing style - so their transition should be easy. They can play anywhere from post to point, and their versatility should make them contributors right away."
A 5-9 guard from Mayfield High School, McGee is a two-time team captain and has twice been named all-district and all-state honorable mention. She was part of the 2004 state championship team at Mayfield and was named to the all-tournament teams at the Gallup and Hobbs Tournaments.
"Marie is an outstanding athlete with a tremendous work ethic and inner drive," Bonvicini says. "She plays for a great high school program and coach and is accustomed to winning and success. We will look for Marie to play the off-guard and point positions, which will be a change for her from high school, but we anticipate an easy transition due to her drive. Marie is excited to finally be a Wildcat and so are we!"
The jewels of the class are the Bofia twins. At 6-6 (Suzanne) and 6-7 (Beatrice), they are the world's tallest female twins. Both played in the 2003 Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Mozambique with the Camerounian National Team. Last year, their Illinois Central team placed second nationally in the National Junior College Athletic Association Division II, and Suzanne was named to the NJCAA all-tournament team.
"We first heard about the Bofia's about a year ago, but it wasn't until Amina arrived that we really took a serious look," Bonvicini says. "We knew they were very good, but they have exceeded every expectation. They are highly skilled with great mobility. Beatrice has a classic hook shot and excellent moves around the basket. She also has the ability to dunk! Suzy is an excellent shooter from 17', has the ability to put it on the floor, as well as post moves. They have been well coached and come from a strong junior college program."
