The Washington D.C. Dragon Boat Festival scheduled for this weekend, May 17-18, at the Thompson Boat Center, 2900 Virginia Ave., NW, has been postponed to June 14-15, due to the volume of rain making the conditions unsafe for racing.
The festival is hosted each May by the Chinese Women's League of Washington DC. About 50 teams from along the East Coast will compete in dragon boat races on the Potomac River. The festival will open on Saturday, June 14, at 8:30 a.m., with a traditional lion dance and an eye-dotting ceremony, said to awaken the sleeping dragons — the spirits of the racing boats.
The National Capital Women's Paddling Association (NCAWPA) is being recognized during this year's race due to its 20th year anniversary and the organization's annual participation with the Washington DC Dragon Boat Festival since 2002. NCAWPA, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, focuses on community service by providing paddling opportunities for the greater community and also river stewardship.
The Washington DC Dragon Boat Festival is NCAWPA's biggest annual community service activity. NCAWPA has representatives on the DC Festival Committee who help plan the logistics of the event. The organization also helps train festival teams and arranges for boat transport to and from the training and festival race sites. GoPink!DC, NCAWPA's breast cancer survivor and supporter team, helps with the DC Dragon Boat Festival Carnation Ceremony.
NCAWPA looks forward to its continued partnership with the Chinese Women's League and to sharing the DC Dragon Boat Festival cultural event with the greater DC area. NCAWPA spearheaded the development of dragon boating and outrigger canoeing both locally and along the East Coast. In all, NCAWPA's three dragon boat teams and outrigger team have trained hundreds of people and built ties with the local community.
The DC Dragons Kuula, a festival team sponsored by the DC Dragons, the original dragon boat racing team in the DC area; GoPink!DC; and Capital City Dragons, NCAWPA's youth dragon boat program for teens ages 12-18, will be participating in this year's race.
Today, dragon boat racing is held all over the world and is one of the fastest-growing international sports. Contemporary folk tradition commonly attributes dragon boat festival and racing to the commemoration of Qu Yuan, a scholar and kinsman of Huai Wang, the ruler of the state of Chu (China), who lived over 2000 year ago. Qu Yuan was a folk hero who he had drowned himself in the Miluo River in today's Hunan province, to protest political corruption. Beating drums and splashing the water furiously with their paddles, the boatmen raced into the river to save him, but failed. This event gave rise to modern forms of dragon boat racing.

Here's My Boyd Fanfiction
Here's my CrispinVSFred Thing
(It's not up anywhere.)
Wow. This took me a long time to write and it's so short. I wonder why. I guess everything looks longer in writing.
Tell me what you think of it blah..whatever. Seriously diss it if you want to. Concrit is good. Remember, I like to have my writing nitpicked upon. That way I can become a better writer.
Damn, this is old. And I'm a hypocrite
Fred VS Crispin
Crispin, this is Waterloo-o. Fred dropped the box on the table. My friends gave it to me as a joke because my last name is Bonaparte and well well uh you know.
Crispin was not amused.
Regardless, Fred took of the lid, arranging the board as he explained the rules. This is my knight. You have one too but youll be on the defensive. I need to get my knight into here. He pointed towards the slightly torn paper castle before he went on. Now this is my peasant, and this is your soldier. Cautiously he placed the piece in front of the detainee, studying for any reaction.
Relief swelled into him as Crispin finally acknowledged his existance. However that was quickly dashed as Crispin leaned over the table and picked up a piece with his mouth. Fred didnt know how to take this at all and offered the only help he could. Do you want me to
Crispin had taken no notice to Freds mortification and went right on, not even bothering to take the piece out of his mouth, preferring to talk quite clearly through clenched teeth. No, I want you to start.
Leaning back in the chair allowed Fred to relax a bit from this sudden onslaught. Once I finish telling you the rules. The carpenter is the only piece allowed out. The peasent cant come out unless you get a certain item for them. Once you destroy all of the others side peasents or soldiers your knight can storm the castle.
Sounds Easy. Crispin shrugged and started leaning in for the dice.
Wait no! Fred snatched them away. No not yet. Not yet He began to breathe deeply, something he told the asylum prisoners to do when they couldnt control themselves.
Well, this is interesting. However I do have other things planned for today. I think I have another session in the art room today or so I have heard.
Alright, Ill start. Fred said, and so they began.
They were an odd pair in an even odder situation. Crispin was propped up on a few books thus enabling him to at least look at the game board; while Freds legs were tucked on underneath his chair so his kness would not interfere his view. Despite all this, despite Crispins previous hostility Fred felt himself relaxing. After all it was a simple round of his favorite game.
And, well it was interesting if nothing else. It was truly an amazing sight to see his opponent play without hands, something Fred thought neccesary to play a board game.

I just finished my electricstart 42 flathead I started in 1990 (marriage, divorce, changed jobs twice, moved out of state, etc.). It wouldn't crank. Now I am no newbie to Harleys. I have owned as many as four at one time, probably twenty in my lifetime. Most were built by me from parts. I am also building a cafe racer KHK on the backburner. So when I went through the carb about half a dozen times, tuned it several times, replaced the starter (0.8kW Accel Ultra Tork which is a joke - but it was cheap even though the seller told me it was a 1.4 kW), took everything apart at least twice, and it still wouldn't start even after verifying spark, fuel, and timing. I opened the plugs from 0.025 to 0.030 with no change. Three weeks into trying to start this puppy, and today, I happened to forget to replace the distributor cap and it started instantly. I put the cap back on and it wouldn't start. Wow! I knew it was going to be something very simple, but I never expected this.
Close inspection showed the point terminal was barely touching the cap when it was in place. One screwdriver and a repositioned terminal, and starting was a breeze. It runs beautifully, and there is nothing like the sound of a new flattie through drag pipes. The starting system operates flawlessly. I used a non-electric start 65 inner primary, 65 output shaft with re-tapered end, used rod bearings in a hogged out old race, and machined inner for one of the original BDL belt drives with idler. Much hogging of aluminum, and a lot of fitting for the solenoid. I used a tin outer just because I liked the looks of it. Had a lot of trouble getting it all to fit and work together, but right now I feel it was worth it.
It has a 4 speed tranny, 5 gal tanks, swingarm Paugho frame, lowered shocks, disc brakes front and rear, and a late model battery fit into an old saddle tank. I had to modify the clutch arm drastically, and fitting the drag pipes to clear everything including the kick starter was a trial, but it all works. It also has turn signals, horn, etc. for safety reasons.
Then I painted it Seafoam Green!
Now I get to go through the NC title trials. In case you don't live in NC, we have the worst title system for rejuvenating old titleless bikes in the USA. I will use the MCO from Paugho to start the process. It isn't going to be fun.

"USB 3.0 is approximately 10 times faster than USB 2.0 and can be used in various broadcast applications where increased bandwidth would advantageous," said David Rahvar, General Partner at Rose Electronics. "Post production editing and remote archiving are just two such examples where USB 3.0 coupled with extension provide an elegant and reliable total solution. " "High definition broadcast video files are quite sizable and need an efficient mechanism when transferring from one location to another," said Glenn Antonelli, Vice President of Marketing at Icron Technologies. "Roses CrystalLink USB 3.0 extender provides ample bandwidth at 5Gbps and ensures the distance between equipment location points is covered without issue."

Back To Work: Football Team Heads To Ithaca To Resume Wild Cornell Series
Yes, last Saturday was plenty of fun for all associated with Princeton football. But it was not the final day of the 2012 season. And for a team that just dealt with the quarterback heroics of Harvard's Colton Chapple, here's a scary thought for Halloween Week: Chapple is only second in the Ivy League in passing yardage.
Cornell's Jeff Mathews, the reigning Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year, is first. He has averaged 352.3 passing yards per game at Schoellkopf Field over the last two seasons, and he has a gaudy 19-4 ratio of touchdowns to interceptions over that stretch.
While Mathews is making a quick move up the career passing ranks in the Ivy League, Princeton has made a stunning jump to the top of the Ivy League standings. Projected to finish last in the Ivy League, Princeton currently stands alone in first place for the first time since the Clinton Administration.
By the way, that would be his first term. It's been a while.
It has been a four-week stretch like few others in the last two decades of Princeton football, but the next four weeks will really tell the story of the 2012 Princeton Football season. Yes, it is exciting right now. Yes, it's still fun to relive those last 29 points on Saturday.
Yes, there is still a long way to go this season. And the Cornell-Princeton series has its history of incredible endings for both sides (see the bottom of this story).
After last weekend, would it shock anybody to see another?

A New Position
Princeton's stunning 29-point fourth-quarter last weekend has moved the Tigers to an unexpected position in the Ivy League standings. For the first time in 165 weeks of Ivy League football, dating back to the final game of the 1995 season, Princeton is currently alone in first place in the league. Even during its 2006 Ivy League championship season, Princeton either shared first or trailed Yale every week of the season.
Princeton is the lone unbeaten in the league with a 3-0 mark, while Harvard, Dartmouth and Penn all share 2-1 records. Dartmouth and Harvard meet in Hanover this weekend, while Penn hosts Brown.
Fearsome Foursome
Before anybody gets ahead of themselves, there is still four weeks remaining in this Ivy League season, and Princeton faces four teams it has gone a combined 0-8 against over the last two years.
Close Calls
Over the last eight years, the Princeton-Cornell games have been decided by an average margin of 5.6 points per game. During that span, both teams have won four games, with Cornell taking both of the last two. Six of those games were decided by five points or fewer, including three of four at Schoellkopf Field. In 2010, Cornell edged Princeton 21-19.
In the last six Princeton-Cornell games at Schoellkopf Field:
• three Princeton losses were affected by missed extra points (2000, 2004, 2010)
• Princeton scored 22 points in the 4th/OT to win in 2002
• each were decided by seven points or fewer
Deja Boo
The last time Princeton started an Ivy League season with a 3-0 record was 2006. The next weekend, the Tigers went to Ithaca and dropped a 14-7 game to Cornell. The game, which featured three Princeton turnovers, was the Tigers' only loss of the season.
Go Fourth
With 12 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter last weekend, Princeton trailed unbeaten Harvard 34-10. From that point forward, seven different players scored either a touchdown or a two-point conversion in a run of 29 unanswered points for a 39-34 victory.
Last season, Princeton scored a grand total of 37 points in all 10 fourth quarters it played.
Four Score
The last time Princeton won four straight Ivy League games was 1995, when the Tigers won the first five en route to their last outright league championship.
I'm Honored
Sophomore quarterback Connor Michelsen entered the fourth quarter last weekend with zero career touchdown passes. He threw three in the final 12 minutes against the Crimson, and added a two-point conversion throw to Tom Moak, to ignite the 39-34 comeback win. The effort earned him the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week award.
Michelsen's honor gave Princeton at least one individual award for each of the last four weeks. Anthony Gaffney have won two Rookie honors, while both Mike Catapano and Caraun Reid have won Defensive Player honors. Nolan Bieck has a Special Teams honor.
When In Roman
Junior wideout Roman Wilson missed most of his first two seasons with a variety of injuries, and he has more than made up for it this year. He had the biggest play in the last six years with his 36-yard touchdown catch to beat Harvard last weekend, and he leads Princeton in receptions (20), receiving yards (371) and yards per catch (18.5). He is Princeton's only receiver with multiple touchdown catches this season; both of his have come from Quinn Epperly, and both were more than 30 yards.
Point, Counterpoint
Three Princeton players scored their first career touchdowns last weekend, and each did so in the fourth quarter. Freshman Dré Nelson and sophomores Matt Costello and Seth DeValve each caught TD passes from Connor Michelsen during the comeback.
Mirror Mirror
In each of the last two games, sophomore Will Powers has rushed exactly 14 times for 57 yards.
Powers leads Princeton with 240 rushing yards this season, and he has played the bulk of the last two games while teammates Akil Sharp and Di Andre Atwater have dealt with injury. Powers scored a rushing touchdown against Brown.
Drive On
From the start of the second quarter against Brown through halftime of the Harvard game, Princeton had 18 offensive drives: 13 ended in punts, two ended at either halftime or the end of the game, two ended in turnovers and one resulted in a touchdown.
Princeton had seven drives in the second half against Harvard: five resulted in touchdowns (including the final four), one ended in a field goal and one ended in a turnover.
Tale Of Two Games
Princeton has won its last two Ivy League games in extremely different ways. On Oct. 13, the Tiger defense snapped an Ivy League record 162-game scoring streak by Brown in a 19-0 victory. Last weekend, the offense scored five touchdowns, the most it has in a single game this season, for a 39-34 victory.
Passing Fancy
Princeton came into last weekend having allowed only one passing touchdown in the first five weeks of the season. The Tigers allowed five to Harvard's Colton Chapple last weekend.
This weekend, the Tigers face reigning Ivy Offensive Player of the Year Jeff Mathews. The Big Red junior leads the Ivy League with a passing average of 354.2 yards per game. Mathews threw for 224 yards at Princeton last season, his lowest total in a 2011 Ivy League game. Of course, it was the only game he played in a nor'easter; the conditions at Princeton Stadium that day were the worst in the stadium's 15 seasons.
The Butler Did It
Princeton will be looking to help one of its own this weekend. Jeff Mathews is currently sixth on the all-time Ivy League passing list, and he needs 376 yards to move past Princeton career leader Doug Butler (7,291) and into fifth place.
Mathews is on pace to break the all-time Ivy League passing record, which means he would ultimately need to pass Princeton offensive coordinator James Perry, who set the record with 9,294 passing yards for Brown between 1998-2001.
Sack Exchange
The Cornell passing attack will face a pair of defensive linemen who are having standout seasons on their own.
Senior co-captain Mike Catapano leads the Ivy League with 7.5 sacks, and he has recorded at least one in four of the last five games. In Princeton's last road game, a 35-14 win at Lafayette, he had eight tackles, including three for loss, and 2.5 sacks; he was named Defensive Player of the Week.
One game later, senior Caraun Reid recorded six tackles, including four for loss, and added 2.5 sacks and a safety in leading Princeton to a shutout of Brown.
Tackling The Issue
Senior linebacker Andrew Starks ranks fifth in the Ivy League with 9.0 tackles per game, and he has ranked in the top five in tackles over each of his last two seasons. He led Princeton with 11 tackles in the 24-7 home loss to Cornell last season.
Last week, sophomore Mike Zeuli set a career high with 12 stops; the last came on third down on Harvard's final possession to force a punt.
Late Charge
Princeton has scored as many fourth-quarter points this season (68) as it has allowed in the second, third and fourth quarters.
Since trailing Lehigh (still unbeaten and ranked seventh nationally) 17-0 in the first half of the season opener, Princeton has outscored its opponents 160-75.
Turn Right
In 2011, Princeton ranked eighth in the Ivy League and 114th nationally in turnover margin (-15). This season, Princeton leads the Ivy League and ranks seventh nationally (+8). Pass defense has been a key factor in the turnaround. After only intercepting three passes all of last season, the Tigers have eight interceptions already this season.
Freshman Anthony Gaffney, who has started every game this season, shares the Ivy League lead with three picks this season.
Block Party
Special teams played a huge role in the comeback win over Harvard last weekend. Princeton blocked three kicks in the game, and the last two were during the fourth quarter.
Freshman Dré Nelson blocked a punt that gave Princeton the ball on the Harvard 48; less than a minute later, Matt Costello caught a 29-yard pass to get Princeton within eight.
Harvard followed with a 52-yard drive to the Princeton 5, but Greg Sotereanos kept it to a one-possession game with his first blocked field goal. Linemate Caraun Reid added a blocked extra point earlier in the game.
Return To Sender
Freshman Anthony Gaffney not only leads the Ivy League in interceptions, but he also leads the league in kickoff returns. Gaffney averages 27.6 yards per kick return, and his 59-yard return in the fourth quarter last weekend set up the first points in Princeton's 29-point fourth quarter.
Gaffney made quite the splash in his Ivy League debut; he returned the opening kickoff at Columbia 94 yards for a touchdown. The Tigers were either tied or leading for the next 188:44 of game action.
Head Of The Class
Senior Joe Cloud, a two-time All-Ivy League punter, has been named one of 147 national semifinalists for the 2012 NFF National Scholar-Athlete Awards. The 147 nominees also comprise the list of semifinalists for the 2012 William V. Campbell Trophy, endowed by HealthSouth, which recognizes an individual as the absolute best football scholar-athlete in the nation.
Cloud is one of only three Ivy League players who were named among the semifinalists.
The Crystal Ball
Princeton returns to Powers Field Nov. 3 to take on Penn at 1 pm. If you can't make it, the game can be seen live on ESPN3 or heard on WPRB 103.3 FM or on GoPrincetonTigers.com.
Penn has won five straight in this series.

Perico Sambeat: Barri de la Coma
Barri de la Coma
Perico Sambeat (alto sax)
Ademuz (Fresh Sound New Talent FSNT 041)
Perico Sambeat (alto sax), Mark Turner (tenor sax), Brad Mehldau (piano),
Mike Leonhart (trumpet), Kurt Rosenwinkel (guitar), Joe Martin (bass), Jordi Rossy (drums), Guillermo McGill and Enric Canada (percussion).
Composed by Perico Sambeat.
Recorded: Valencia, Spain, August & November 1995
Rating: 88/100 (learn more)
Close your eyes, open your ears, and you'll almost think this is one of those Blue Note sessions with a Latin twist that were recorded in the '60s. The initial horns unison, or the trumpet solo, may be misleading. But not the "palmas" that open the tune along with the drums: yes we are in southern Spain, home of both the flamenco and Perico Sambeat, who invited his American friends to join him on this crossover session. No nostalgia, then, no revival either, but a very convincing mix of hard-bop drive and Latin rhythms played by young modernists whose common roots bridge the Atlantic.

Recent news and research highlights
On 8 April 2016 Ian organised a Royal Astronomical Society Specialist Discussion Meeting about The use of extraterrestrial resources to help facilitate space science and exploration. Videos of these talks may be viewed here.
Ian has written a short essay for The Conversation on "How to build a starship -- and why we should start thinking about it now."
On 25 June 2015 Ian was a guest on the BBC Radio 4 programme "In Our Time" to discuss extremophiles and astrobiology. [audio, 43 mins]
On 29 May 2015 Ian was a guest on the US national radio programme The Space Show to talk about lunar resources.[audio, 90mins]
Ian has been awarded a research grant by the Leverhulme Trust to study what lunar geology can tell us about the galactic environment of the Solar System.
Ian has recently written three articles concerned with the future of space exploration. The first, entitled 'Lunar Resources: A Review', has been published in the journal Progress in Physical Geography (Vol. 39, pp. 137-167, 2015). The other two are more speculative: the book chapter 'Interplanetary Federalism: Maximising the Chances of Extraterrestrial Peace, Diversity and Liberty' addresses the political organisation of future space colonies, while 'Avoiding Intellectual Stagnation: The Starship as an Expander of Minds' (Journal of the British Interplanetary Society, 67, 253-257, 2014) examines how, in the distant future, interstellar space exploration may advance human knowledge and culture.

The following piece was submitted recently to The Simply Stated Blogger Contest for Real Simple magazine in response to the question: What was the most difficult thing you had to give up in order to balance your schedule? It wasn't selected as a finalist (sniff, sniff); on the upside, though, I am now free to share it with you here.
The late 1980s were a blur of lazy weekends curled up on a favorite chair or under the shade of umbrella with Arthur Miller, Joyce Carol Oates, Edith Wharton, and Alice Walker. The early '90s brought a job, an income, and the ability to traipse to the latest independent film, museum installation, or Broadway play. Feeding my intellect—if not my stomach at any variety of Indian, Ethiopian, or Lebanese restaurants—was de rigueur. I craved creative pursuits—gardening, knitting, interior design.
But I was a hedonist with a longing—the desire to parent. And in 2004, with the arrival of our first son, I experienced an entirely new set of rhythms, and it became quickly apparent that my literary masters and weekend getaways were going to have to wait patiently in the wings; my garden would have to make room for sandboxes and seesaws; and any interior design would have to take the form of touching up paint chips courtesy of wayward Matchbox cars.
Today I have three beautiful boys, two dogs, a full-time job, and a host of avocations. And while life looks nothing like it did in decades past, I accede wholeheartedly that it shouldn't. I get up an hour before my family every day. Significant cooking is done on Sundays for the week. Grocery-shopping is accomplished in 18-minute clips of free time between when I get out of work and when I pick up my children from school. I am committed to two loads of laundry a day as opposed to ten on the weekends.
These small time-savers that I have learned to integrate over the last eight years have revealed possibilities—a monthly book club, the occasional date night, time to write, and a mother who is able to be herself.

Taylor Langdon
Helping the 'Dogs to their a 5-0 mark in the Fresno State Kick-Off tournament last weekend, Langdon logged saves and did not allow any runs in her first three appearances vs. Sacramento State, UC Riverside and Sacramento State.
In her final tourney appearance vs. UCSB, she logged her first win of the year in the finale after she allowed only one earned run and struck out three in five innings.
Overall for the weekend, she led the team in ERA (0.66), saves (3) and appearances (4), and ranked second in innings (10.2), strikeouts (6), lowest opposing batting average (.214) and fewest hits (9).
Her four saves on the season has already tied a team season school record, and that same total ties for seventh-most in a career for the 'Dogs.
Season-wise in 2014, she also paces the squad in ERA (0.86) and ranks second in lowest opposing batting average (.222) and innings (16.1).
This week in the MW stat rankings, she led categories for saves (4), games finished (6), and ranks second in ERA (0.86) and sixth in opponent batting (.222).
Team-wise, the Bulldogs are 8-2 on the year and come off their first perfect tournament showing under second-year head coach Trisha Ford. This week they head to the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic and face three, top-25 teams (No. 2 Tennessee, No. 14 Arizona and No. 25 Texas) and two other NCAA tourney qualifiers in recent years (Long Island University-Brooklyn, Virginia) in the event in Cathedral City, Calf., Fri.-Sun., Feb. 21-23.

While the islands of Spain are well regarded as action-packed, party havens, you'll find it easy to escape to your own slice of serenity and relaxation during your holidays to Puerto de la Cruz, whether this means relaxing on the soft sand with a good book, sipping cocktails as the sun sets, or meandering around the resort's beautiful botanical gardens.
For a little more action during your time in the resort, those that are accustomed to trying to catch the surf during their beach breaks will do well in visiting the petty little beach of Playa Jardin. In addition to decent waves, there are also numerous palm trees here providing shade in which to relax. Beach bums will never run out of things to do around Puerto de la Cruz, just make sure you indulge in all of the area's many stunning beaches, among them Bollullo and Jardin Beach, while more lovely strips of sand can be found in neighbouring Santa Ursula.
While on your holidays to Puerto de la Cruz, bear in mind that the nearby town of Orotava is a delight for culture vultures, while the surrounding countryside, in particular the Orotava Valley, is a real sight for sore eyes and is great for hiking. End your day by visiting the old port area of Puerto de la Cruz and ducking into one of the many excellent restaurants on offer – the seafood is our recommendation.
Also known as Lido Martianez, this complex of lakes and pools is one of the most popular days out in Puerto de la Cruz. It is great value at around €3 and you can easily spend the whole day here, with its wide range of swimming areas, cafés and bars, and nightlife.
The whole complex is lit up at night and makes a great place for dinner al fresco. There is even a casino here that is under the lake.
...or Carnaval as the locals know it, is the annual spectacular that happens to celebrate the beginning of Lent. The amazing street parades and parties are not to be missed if you are on holiday in Tenerife at the right time.
You will see all sorts of weird and wonderful traditions including the drag queen race and the burning of the sardine!
Children and adults alike will enjoy this huge wildlife park that has daily dolphin and orca shows in one of the largest aquariums in Europe, parrot and bird of prey shows, and mountain gorillas.
This is a truly unique day out where you will also see one of the largest populations of penguins outside the Antarctic!
Puerto de la Cruz receives less rainfall than most other parts of the island so you can enjoy the sunny beaches year round. The main beach, Playa Jardin, is backed by lush green gardens and has natural, black sand.
It has a range of cafés and bars for a light lunch or a cocktail watching the sunset. This sandy beach is also popular with windsurfers when the breeze comes in from the Atlantic.
This swimming pool complex, designed by renowned architect César Manrique is a fun day out for all the family for around €3. It is made up of seven pools and lakes, with plenty of places to sunbathe.
Children will love the freedom of the safe, shallow pools that all have lifeguards, while adults can relax. The complex transforms when the sun goes down and becomes a popular place for dinner and there is even a casino that is under the lakes!
Whatever you are looking for in a hotel, we have one in Puerto de la Cruz to suit your needs.
For families there is the Hotel Solvasa Concordia, which is just 100 metres from the beach and has its own evening entertainment.
Couples will love the Hotel Diamante Suites which has two pools and a Jacuzzi.
For a 5 star treat there is the Hotel Botanico which has its own spa garden and tennis courts.

Several years ago, a cheesesteak trend took off in Anchorage eateries, particularly in pizza parlors, burger joints and take-out venues. Around that time, my quest for the almighty Philly Cheesesteak sandwich, the best in Anchorage, was on. Over the last two years I've tried at least a dozen restaurants in Anchorage that offer the sandwich on their menu and had an interesting experience.
My love for the cheesesteak sandwich started with a bite of a basic cheesesteak sandwich from Milano's Pizzeria and Philly Steaks. And boy, their title means serious Philly Cheesesteak business. My sandwich was thick with thinly-sliced and chopped beef, topped with green peppers, onions, and loaded with melted swiss cheese.
I was thoroughly impressed with the quality and quantity of their sandwich, and was hooked instantly, even though the $9.95 per order (comes with fries of course) seemed a bit steep. Luckily, the portion size of the sandwich from Milano's made it easy to split with another person or save for another meal later. The fries on the other hand, have always been limp and lack basic salt seasoning every time I have ordered my sandwich to-go. So if you are a big fry fan, don't expect much.
After finding my love of this amazing, hearty (and maybe a bit indulgent on the caloric scale) sandwich, I decided to test out other cheesesteaks in town. I was impressed with several cafes and diners, though at some particular restaurants, was downright disappointed.
I realized it's hard to find a perfectly seasoned beef and cheese sandwich, with plenty of toppings and the soft yet hearty bread, strong enough to handle all the contents of this classic and balanced meal between two slices of gently toasted bread. It's not easy making a flawless Philly Cheesesteak. Even Quizno's and Subway butchered this basic sandwich, and say they specialize in sandwiches? Yikes.
After all my cheesesteak soul-searching, Milano's is still my favorite. You can check out their menu online here: Milano's Pizzeria and Philly Steaks. They offer in-house dining, to-go and delivery options. Plus, there are meal deals that let you combine pizza, hot wings and sandwiches with a discount price.
Specialty Milano's cheeesesteaks at the $9.95 price include:
Philly Pepper Cheesesteak - steak served with swiss cheese and a generous helping of sweet or hot peppers.
Milano's Philly Cheesesteak - steak served with swiss cheese, lettuce and tomatoes.
Philly Pepperoni Cheesesteak - steak served with swiss cheese and a generous helping of pepperoni.
Philly Pizza-steak - steak served with swiss cheese and topped with their famous red sauce.
Even with Milano's being my favorite pick for cheesesteak sandwiches, I won't stop there. I will continue my quest for other great cheesesteak sandwiches in Anchorage. You know, just in case there's another remarkable cheesesteak out there waiting to be discovered… for research purposes of course!

In a recently published "new" study by the Federal Reserve they confirmed what millions of American homeowners knew first hand. It's what most professionals in the housing finance industry have known for over a year.
Namely, that millions of American homes are unable to be refinanced - despite historically low interest rates - due largely to the fact that many of these homes are either underwater (meaning the current loans balance exceeds the current property value) or the home's owners fail to qualify for refinance loans due to tighter credit standards. The study would suggest that at least 2 million American homes are eligible for refinance but for these conditions.
Despite this reality, Washington seems unable to come up with a solution. Prior efforts such as Home Affordable Refinance Program have failed. The failure is due to the fact that the eligibility criteria designed by regulators have been too narrowly defined to accommodate a housing market where values continue to decline and an economy that remains weak at best.
It's possible to implement a meaningful refinance program by year-end that is simple to implement and rewards every American that remains current on their mortgage. This program poses little risk to encouraging moral hazard. Most importantly, it will inject billions of dollars of free cash flow into our struggling economy.
Mortgage borrowers current on their mortgage for the past 12 months and whose new payment would be at least $50 dollars per month less than their current payment qualify.
To be clear, this would apply to borrowers who are owner occupants and investors alike. Moreover, the program would apply to borrowers' with first and second mortgages as well. If the new payment is less than the combined old payments, they get rolled up and refinanced into a new loan under this program.

The Robert Powell Center for Medical Ethics at the National Right to Life released a report on Thursday that warns that the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) will not allow consumers to spend what they choose on their own health care, including access to life-saving treatments.
As the March 31, 2014 deadline approaches for open enrollment in the insurance exchanges established by Obamacare, the report, "The Affordable Care Act and Health Care Access in the United States" analyzed four key policy areas of Obamacare and concluded that Obamacare would drastically limit access to life-saving medical treatment under the law.
The four areas the center examined includes the "excess benefit" tax coming into effect in 2018, the current exclusion of adequate health Insurance plans from the exchanges, present limits on senior citizens' ability to use their own money for health insurance, and federal limits on the care doctors give their patients to be implemented as soon as 2016.
Those four policy areas that were examined are:
"Obamacare imposes a 40% excise tax on employer-paid health insurance premiums above a governmental imposed limit that does not keep up with medical inflation. Consequently, insurance companies will be forced to impose increasingly severe restraints on policy-holders' access to medical diagnosis and treatment—limits that will make it harder to get often-expensive treatments essential to combating life-threatening illnesses."
"Under Obamacare, consumers using the exchanges may only choose plans offered by insurers who do not allow their customers to spend what government bureaucrats deem an "excessive or unjustified" amount for their health insurance – regardless of whether the insurers offer such plans inside or outside of the exchanges established by the law."
"Most senior citizens know that the law will significantly cut government funding for Medicare. However, they may not be aware of the law's provision allowing Washington bureaucrats to prevent them from making up the Medicare shortfall with their own funds by limiting their right to spend their own money to obtain insurance less likely to limit treatments that could save their lives."
"The "Independent Payment Advisory Board" is directed to recommend measures to limit spending on health care to a growth rate below medical inflation – not just for Medicare, but also for all private, nongovernmental health care spending. The federal Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) is then authorized to implement these measures by placing limits on the treatments providers may give their patients by requiring them to abide by so-called "quality and efficiency standards" imposed by HHS."
Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life said, "For pro-life Americans concerned about the impact on innocent human life… both born and unborn; the policies of Obamacare couldn't be worse."
"Americans are just as concerned with the law's impact on our ability to access life-saving medical treatment for ourselves, our family members, and our loved ones as with Obamacare's funding of abortions. Obamacare is bad medicine for America."
In the report, it part it said, "Essentially, doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers can be told by Washington just what diagnostic tests and medical care are considered to meet "quality and efficiency" standards. These standards will be enforced not just for health care paid for by federally funded programs like Medicare, but also for health care paid for by private citizens and by the health insurance they or their employers purchase."
In 2009, former Governor of Alaska and former 2008 Republican candidate for Vice-President, Sarah Palin spoke about the death panels in her notes on her Facebook.
In her post, Palin said, "The Democrats promise that a government health care system will reduce the cost of health care, but as the economist Thomas Sowell has pointed out, government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost. And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's "death panel" so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their "level of productivity in society," whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil."
"Health care by definition involves life and death decisions. Human rights and human dignity must be at the center of any health care discussion."
In addition, in July 2013, the Paulding County Republican Examiner reported that former Democratic presidential candidate and Democratic Party National Chairman, Howard Dean essentially admitted that Republicans and Sarah Palin were right concerning Obamacare death panels.
The concern by the Robert Powell Center for Medical Ethics points to those that are sick or have pre-existing conditions may end up dying due to Obamcare.
"Obamacare authorizes Washington bureaucrats to create one uniform, national standard of care that is designed to limit what private citizens are allowed to spend to save their own lives," Burke Balch, J.D., director of the Robert Powell Center for Medical Ethics said. "We are convinced most Americans do not believe that the government should limit the right of Americans to use their own money for health care necessary to save their lives."
"Yet, that is exactly what Obamacare does."

Photos: Swimming at the London 2012 Olympics, August 1
Posted by Vern Slocum on 08/01/2012 7:06pm MDT tags: Photo
(AP) LONDON – Allison Schmitt of the United States set an Olympic record to win the 200-meter freestyle at the London Games on Tuesday. Schmitt clocked 1 minute, 53.61 seconds, shaving more than a second off the mark set by Italy's Federica Pellegrini four years ago in Beijing. The 400-meter champion Camille Muffat of France touched in 1:55.58 to take the silver and Bronte Barratt of Australia finished in 1:55.81 to get bronze. American teenager Missy Franklin finished fourth and world-record holder Pellegrini was fifth. Daniel Gyurta of Hungary set the fourth swimming world record of the Olympics in the 200-meter breaststroke Wednesday, needing every bit of speed to hold off a furious bid by home-country favorite Michael Jamieson for Britain's first gold at the pool. American Nathan Adrian also was on top of the world after touching in 47.52, giving the U.S. its first title in swimming's signature event since Matt Biondi at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

Do you remember the joys of those candy necklaces and bracelets when you were younger? Kids still love to wear edible jewelry. A new book by Sharon Penn takes edible accessories to an entirely new level. Grab a group of your child's best friends and a copy of Jellybean Tiaras and have a blast making these wearable snacks.
Book Description:
Little princesses will adore the delicious products of this how-to book, which features 24 jewelry-making projects. Easy instructions and dozens of illustrations show how to transform pretzels, gumdrops, and other candies into radical rings and wonderful wands, princess pins and heavenly headbands, knockout necklaces and excellent earrings, and beautiful bracelets and glamorous glasses.
**My thoughts**
This is the kind of book that I would have eaten up as an elementary-aged girl. Candy necklaces were a rare treat and I was always creating with my arts and crafts supplies. Putting the two together would have been an ultimate combination of fun.
Sharon's instructions are broken down step-by-step with plenty of photographs to help illustrate her directions. Some of the steps will require adult assistance, but most of the projects can be done independently. Most of the materials are edible; however, on occasion you will need to use string, foam, and other inedible items in the creation process. I would recommend that children be six and older when undertaking these projects, and to fully understand what can and cannot be ingested.
The finished projects are worthy of Pinterest and the young models are absolutely adorable as they show off their bling. Remind crafters that it is okay for their project to not turn out as perfectly as the ones in this book. (Just like we have to remind our grown-up selves the same as we find new projects on Pinterest.) The important part is having fun while making these!
I will admit that the thought of putting candy in a child's hair or on her face makes me a bit squeamish, as I think of the potential for a sticky mess and extra germs. Be sure to set some ground rules about the consumption of the jewelry. Also, find a safe way to store it, so that little critters aren't attracted to a sweet snack when the jewelry isn't being worn.
I can see this as being a great way to bond with your kids during a special mother-daughter day, or some great entertainment during a sleepover or playdate.
The materials required for these projects are easily found locally at grocery stores such as Wegmans and Tops, as well as crafting stores such as Michaels, Jo-Ann, Hobby Lobby, and Dan's Crafts & Things.
Purchase your own copy of the book from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or directly from Dover Publications.

Joke Week: Northwestern
After an easy week of Illinois humor, Northwestern proved surprisingly tough to make jokes about. This week, I called in for reinforcements. J. Schnauzer stepped up to the plate with 3 doozies.
Don't worry. We'll use the bye week to come back stronger than ever with some Iowa yuks.
Anybody hear any good Northwestern jokes lately....

TUCSON, Ariz. – As an eight year old, freshman Jaden DeGracie was focused on gymnastics until her coach found a way for her to incorporate gymnastics into the sport of soccer by way of a flip throw-in.
To successfully utilize the "flip throw", DeGracie takes the ball in her hands, gets a running start, leaps off her left foot and into a front handspring. As the ball touches the ground, DeGracie swings back onto her feet and hurls the ball into her teammates.
"I was a gymnast before," DeGracie said. "When I was eight years old my coach showed me a YouTube clip of it and I tried it immediately and I've been doing it ever since then. I pretty much got it first try but trying to perfect it has taken many years of practice."
According to teammate Hannah Wong it has been a huge part of the offense this season as DeGracie has accumulated a total of four assists in six games.
"It's a real positive in the offense because it's like a cross," Wong said. "We get a lot of opportunities on goal from it and we have scored a couple goals off of it. It's a real benefit to have on the field. "
The "flip throw-in" has the ability to create something out of nothing. DeGracie is able to launch the ball almost 40 yards from out of bounds and generate a scoring opportunity from anywhere within the midfield.
"I take corner kicks, as well, but I prefer to take throw-ins because I'm more accurate with it," DeGracie said. "I can pick out which player I want to throw it to and that way we can get a scoring chance. It's a team effort but I think my job is easy because all I have to do is throw it."
Although DeGracie's weapon is mostly used for the attacking aspect, she uses it also to keep the ball out of the back near the goal.
"I like to do it attacking," DeGracie said. "Sometimes if I'm in the defense and I want to get the ball out of the back I will use it but it's mostly just for attacking."
Most teams practice plays that are designed off the basic throw in. Wong has noticed that as DeGracie does her flip throw, the opposing team is in shock and it opens up the goal for the Wildcats to score.
"The first couple of times that she does it they're caught off guard," Wong said. "Almost all of our opportunities have been off of her throw-in. The basic concept of it is to get the ball in there and we attack it."
DeGracie is one of three of the Wildcat players able to successfully incorporate the "flip throw-in" into the match. Although it's quite the show, it has proven to be a very important part of the Arizona attack as well as given opposing teams something to fear when the ball goes out of bounds.

The 2014 primary elections are now in the rear view mirror. Before moving on to November's battles though, it's worth taking a moment to look back at what happened on Tuesday.
Two important races for the House of Representatives
Kerry Bentivolio (R-Milford) was a reindeer rancher, teacher and National Guardsman who became a Representative in the U.S. House. He never had much buy-in from the Republicans in his district though, and was soundly defeated, by a political insider with his own issues. Bentivolio lost to David Trott in the 11th District after Bentivolio aligned himself with the Tea Party. Trott on the other hand, played up a more traditional background, trying to downplay the fact that almost all of his wealth has been tied to foreclosing on the homes of his constituents.
Showing his own wealth, Trott spent $2.4 million to win the primary election, according to the Detroit Free Press.
On the Democratic side, Southfield mayor Brenda Lawrence held off a spirited challenge from state rep. Rudy Hobbs, winning by 1,993 votes in the 14th District. Both candidates have a strong track record, and the winner of this primary is expected to win in November, in what is a very Democratic-leaning district.
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the race was that former U.S. rep. Hansen Clarke finished third after leading in most of the pre-election polls.
Proposal 1 passes with ease
Proposal 1 passed in a landslide, with 69 percent of the voters securing its passage. The proposal will phase out personal property taxes on certain kinds of industrial and commercial equipment between 2016 and 2023. However, in the run-up to the election, it looked like Proposal 1 would fail miserably. When the votes were tabulated though, the proposal went through after different groups spent over $7 million on TV ads to pass it, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Not many people voted
It's always hard to get voters to the polls in primary elections, especially in non-presidential years. The highest total ever, according to the Michigan Secretary of State, was just 24.4 percent in 1982. This year, just 1.3 million people, or 17.5 percent of eligible voters, came out to cast a vote.
In a year where there was just one statewide proposal on the ballot and neither the Democrats or Republicans had a contested race for governor, many Michiganders didn't feel the need to vote.
