College Hockey:Killorn Scores Two as Harvard Upsets Union
Union Rally Falls Short
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Harvard continued its dominance over ranked opponents at home, downing No. 16 Union, 4-3 Saturday night. The Crimson has won eight of its last nine home games against ranked teams since 2007-2008, and holds a 3-1 record over ranked foes this season at Bright Hockey Center.
Union attempted to rekindle its late-game heroics from its win over Dartmouth last night as the clock waned in the final frame, notching three quick goals in less than six minutes.
However, Harvard winger Alex Killorn's power-play goal midway through the third period proved to be the difference.
"We were on the power play and moving it around really well," Kilhorn said. "I got a nice pass from Alex Fallstrom and I took a shot and beat him glove side."
The opening frame proved uneventful, as Harvard and Union played an evenly-matched first period. Aside from a few isolated chances late in the first period, including center John Simpson's failure to bury a quick pass from Dutchmen winger Brian Yanovitch in the circle with less than seven minutes remaining in the first and Killorn's backhanded near-miss at the halfway point after an end-to-end rush, neither team could get much going.
"I didn't think we played desperate enough," said Union coach Nate Leaman. "We toyed around with that game. We had the puck a lot in the first period, so we got comfortable, thinking it was going to be an easier game than it was."
In the second period, a rejuvenated Harvard squad scattered three tallies throughout the first 15 minutes and forced Union back on its heels. Harvard opened the scoring at 1:41 with a lucky bounce from center Alex Fallstrom at the bottom of the circle that deflected in to the net off of Dutchmen netminder Corey Milan.
"That was a lazy play by our goaltender," Leaman said. "And it's part of not being desperate."
Harvard bought itself more insurance at 6:57 in the second period when winger David Valek slammed home a rebound from center Pier-Olivier Michaud's backhanded shot in the low slot to make it 2-0.
The Crimson capped off its second-period scoring frenzy at 14:50 with the first of Killorn's two goals. Winger Michael Biega outworked Union blueliner Nolan Julseth-White on the boards and dished the puck to Killorn in the low slot. Kilhorn solved Milan with a one-timer, giving the Crimson a 3-0 advantage.
"I just chipped the puck in deep," Killorn said. "Mike Biega passed it out to me in the front of the net. Because there was no one on me, I had a second or two to take a shot and I got lucky."
Union looked lethargic for the majority of the second period, particularly on special teams. The Dutchmen squandered a man-advantage at 8:02, posting only a single shot on goal during the entire power play Harvard, by contrast, tallied three short-handed shots on Milan on the kill.
"Our penalty kill did a great job," Harvard coach Ted Donato said. "We blocked a lot of shots. And [our] goalie is always our best penalty killer. [Harvard goaltender Kyle] Richter was certainly there for us when the opportunities presented themselves."
Union showed signs of life late in the second frame on a power play, but was not able to convert. With just a minute to play, Dutchmen winger Mario Valery-Trabucco launched a shot from the right circle, but Richter made a quick kick save to keep Union off the board.
Killorn potted the eventual game-winner at 10:35 in the third period, but flashes of Union's late-game magic sprang to mind in the final minutes of the third period when the Dutchman posted three unanswered goals in the last six minutes of play.
Valery-Trabucco lit the lamp first for Union on a power play, netting a shot from the low left circle at 14:27 off a pass from winger Adam Presizniuk.
Dutchmen defender Mike Schreiber singlehandedly pulled Union within striking distance as the clock ran out, netting two goals during a six-on-five advantage. After Milan was pulled, Schreiber solved Richter in traffic at 19:29 and 19:56, making it 4-3 Crimson.
"I didn't think we had a lot of desperation to get pucks on the net against them until it was too late," Leaman said.
With the win, Harvard remains in eighth place in the ECAC and is one point closer to fourth place in the league standings. Union, by contrast, surrendered its first-place tie and now shares second place with Cornell.

Holiday Shoe Boxes
Holiday Shoe Boxes
The Special Education Support Staff (a.k.a. paraprofessionals or elves) took on a community project for the 2011 Holiday Season!
Our goal was to do something to brighten the holidays of 100 adults in our community who were affected by the Flood of 2011 and/or were experiencing other unfortunate circumstances.
The adults were chosen to be the focus of this activity because so many of the efforts during the holiday season are directed to the children in the community. The group decided to make "Holiday Shoeboxes" that were filled with personal items and small luxuries to be distributed to local service organizations for those individuals that would enjoy and appreciate the items.
The boxes were stuffed items received through donations from the community, staff, parents and students. Items included in the Holiday Boxes were: shaving cream, fragrance/cologne, combs, brushes, disposable razors, mouthwash, toothpaste, handkerchiefs, deodorant, body wash, manicure sets, nail polish, make-up, disposable cameras, costume accessories, footsies, coupons for local restaurants, hats, gloves, socks, umbrellas, flashlights, tee-shirts (to name a few).
Each box was unique and beautifully decorated with lovely Christmas ribbon and an ornament. Although we fell short of our original goal to fill 100 boxes; 70 boxes were delivered to the Red Cross, Haven Ministry, Women in Transition and SunCom Industries in hopes of bringing Holiday cheer for 70 men and women.
The staff (referred to as Elves) had an enjoyable time gathering the items and a fun-filled evening of packing and wrapping! To end the evening, the elves shared a covered-dish meal and exchanged stories and holiday traditions. We agreed that 2012 "Holiday Shoeboxes" are a must and the 100 goal will be attained!
Happy New Year from Santa's Elves!

Don Byas: Cherokee
Don Byas (tenor sax)
Savoy Jam Party (Savoy SV 268)
Don Byas (tenor sax),
Teddy Brannon (piano), Frank Skeete (bass), Fred Radcliffe (drums).
Composed by Ray Noble.
Recorded: New York, May 17, 1945
Rating: 88/100 (learn more)
A veteran arranger I know used to refer to Don Byas as "The Stone Age Coltrane." Byas was an important figure during the time of jazz's transition from swing to bop. Like all soloists at the time, he was a product of big bands, notably those of Lionel Hampton, Benny Carter, and Count Basie, and was also a member, with Dizzy Gillespie and Oscar Pettiford, of the first bop group to appear on 52nd Street.
Byas's style in 1945 was an unusual combination of swing and bop elements. He employed a big, warm sound with a deep vibrato ą la Hawkins and Webster, and his rhythmic placement was mostly on the beat as per common Swing Era practice. His harmonic approach was quite a bit more advanced, though he was basically, like Hawkins, a vertical player. His ace in the hole was his dazzling technical command, which let him take a back seat to no one at handling fast tempos.
This performance is shaped by the wide disparity in harmonic and technical command between Byas and the workmanlike rhythm section. The blazing tempo forces the bassist to play in 2 throughout while the others hang on for dear life as Byas eats up the changes. Though his solo eventually takes on the character of a technical etude, it is still a dazzling virtuoso display. A couple of choruses even include some chromatic II-V substitutions in the first four bars, as if "Cherokee" didn't already have enough chord changes, though these passages were obviously part of a set routine rather than a spur-of-the-moment inspiration.

Addressing drought concerns, a livestock disaster bill has been introduced (Thursday night) by Senators Max Baucus of Montana, Ag Committee Chair Debbie Stabenow and Missouri Senator Roy Blunt. It would extend ag disaster assistance programs that expired at the end of the 2011 fiscal year which were not part of the nine-month 2008 Farm Bill extension.
Missouri Cattlemen's Association executive vice president Mike Deering says they're among the Missouri Ag groups pushing for this legislation. Deering tells Brownfield Ag News, "Along with Missouri Farm Bureau and Missouri Soybean, Missouri Pork, Missouri Corn, several other coalitions – we wrote a letter to our delegation in Washington, D.C. from Missouri and let them know that we have to allocate funding for disaster assistance. Yeah, it's in the farm bill but there's no funding for it."
Deering says things are being done at the state level to provide assistance to drought-stricken cattle operations, but, he adds, no one can make it rain, "Looking for hay, we have a hay directory on our website. We're doing everything we can to try to help our producers but we feel kind of helpless. There's not a whole lot we can do."
The bill would extend the Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP), the Livestock Forage Program (LFP), and, the Emergency Livestock Assistance Program. It would also extend the (ELAP), the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance program (NAP) and the Tree Assistance Program (TAP).
Senators Baucus and Stabenow included a provision for a permanent extension of those programs in the Senate Farm Bill that passed last June.
Senator Blunt says Missouri has the second highest number of farms in the nation and the drought has taken a devastating toll on farm families in Missouri and nationwide. He says he "won't stop fighting for critical disaster relief" to get farmers and ranchers "back on their feet again."

Inspiration from others led me back
Thursday, January 26, 2012
I got an e-mail from Spark, a sharing of how weight buried the real person, insulated her from living. I knew that was true for me as well. I read peoples comments. Some of the comments touched my soul. One was a quote about being in the journey versus being a critic of the journeying person. I'm not savy enough to get that quote here right now, it was a Roosevelt quote from 1910, from another member. I friended him. His sharing of the inspirational quote resonated in a part of my life I've been struggling with, the critic of my journey. The critic is always somewhere, in some form. It may be past or present. It may be a goverment official (as in my case) or in your own head (which is also my case often, although over the years I've been transforming my inner critic into an optimist....I digress).
Another comment was about building a path with bricks.....a supportive beautifully written comment that reminded me I was in the process of placing the next brick in my journey. I could look back at the path I've come from, stand where I am and take in now, and I could look forward to the future as I decide where to place that next brick. And as I decide where that path will lead....
Anyway, it all brought me back here. The inspirational pieces shared by various members reminded me what an amazing constellation we are. A constellation of sensitive, wise, creative souls journeying and trying to be conscious of the journey. An inspiring constellation of multifaceted beauty.
I'm ready to let my star shine, a good healthy shimmer, delighting in now and in putting down the brick on my path carefully, aiming toward a future full of choices, I want to journey amongst this constellation of amazing folks. As for the critic....it was just a piece of rock that looked like a falling star....flying past....

I am so glad you're back and I can so relate to that "critic". I am my own worst critic and unfortunately - I'm really good at it. Trying to drown out that voice that says I can't.
Awesome idea on the timer! I used it today. It made me more aware of time in chunks. That may sound odd, but it was all running together in one ginormous slide I had no control of. Putting time in chunks and then designating what I was going to do with it was awesome. I actually got my house straightened and a ton of homework completed! Best of all - I drank my water, stayed in my food ranges and the exercise I did when I cleaned the house (ya gotta start somewhere, right?)
Thanks for the encouragement and again, it's good to see you. :)

Lowest Fuel Consumption Volkswagen's Car Set World Record
"We are very excited and grateful to have broken the current Guinness World Record for lowest fuel consumption across the 48 contiguous United States," said Helen Taylor. "We would like to thank Volkswagen for providing us their new clean diesel Jetta that helped us get another World Record and to Shell for supplying the diesel fuel."
The previous Guinness World Record for the lowest fuel consumption on a nationwide drive was 51.58 miles per gallon and the Taylors broke it by setting a new record of 58.82 miles per gallon, a whopping 14 percent improvement. In 20 days, driving across 48 states the Taylors drove 9,419 miles, exceeding 60 mpg on several legs of the record-setting run, spending only 6.9 cents per mile (total was $653).
"The terrain was very diverse, the weather less than ideal, and the traffic heavy at rush hour and the VW Jetta TDI handled it all beautifully, showing its fuel efficiency and its fun-to-drive dynamic capability, just two of this vehicle's many attributes," said John Taylor. "The car efficiently helped us to drive to a fuel economy world record."
People were encouraged to e-mail the Taylors along the way at: fuelacademy @ gmail.com with any questions they may have about the tour, the vehicle or about fuel economy tips and join their "Fan" page on Facebook.com. As of the end of the trip, more than 2,000 people have e-mailed the Taylors.
Approximately 12 official check-in and refueling stops across the country were included throughout the duration of the drive. The couple drove on a counter-clockwise route passing through: Washington D.C.; New York City, Rutland, Vermont; Toledo, Ohio; Des Moines, Iowa; Spearfish, S.D.; Missoula, Mont.; Winnemucca, Nev.; Santa Monica, Calif.; Durango, Colo.; Oklahoma City, Okla.; Mount Vernon, Ill.; Ponchatoula, La.; and, Beckley, W.V. Some of the fuel saving tips the Taylors advocate include: avoiding idling and higher speeds, minimizing vehicle drag and performing regular vehicle maintenance.
The Taylors have made a 26-year career out of driving economically and conducting workshops globally on fuel-efficient driving techniques. They have collected 82 world fuel economy and vehicle-related records from drives around the globe in Australia, Asia, South Africa, Europe, the Middle East and North America.

My wife and I rented a 1.6 Jetta diesel and drove it for a month in Southern France -Very little autoroutes - mostly back roads between the many wonderful villages of Provence - we covered approx 2600km and averaged 61.2 MPG - This has prompted us to purchase a 2009 VW sportswagon( diesel !! ) It happens to be our fourth VW - so we really believe inthe product !!

Fuel efficient? Sort of. Many miles per gallon? Yes.
But too many miles. I use a lot less fuel staying home. What a waste.

I agree with those above, but I reached almost the same(60 MPG), also diesel, with my Toyota Corolla 1.4 l D4D. That was in Romania, on baaaad roads, comparing to yours. So, the performance can be improved!

Beyonce and Jay Z's daughter, Blue Ivy is currently one of the hottest topics on the Internet. Blue Ivy's VMA antics dominate social media sites and Internet news. On Aug.25, Us magazine was one of thousands of media outlets reporting on how the 2-year old stole the spotlight from her famous mom, Beyonce at MTV's 2014 Video Music Awards.
Thousands of stories, pictures and video clips about Blue Ivy attest to the public's fascination with everything about this little girl from her diva dance moves at the VMAs, to the outfit she wore. Clearly Blue Ivy has inherited her famous parents' love for music as seen by the viral video clip of her duplicating her mother, Beyonce's sassy moves. According to EntertainmentWise.com and other news outlets and celebrity gossip sites on Aug 25, Blue Ivy's unchoreographed actions were among the most memorable moments of MTV's 2014 Video Music Awards.
Clad in a $350 gold metallic dress from Bonpoint with a matching hair bow and gold Kenneth Cole ballet flats, Blue Ivy has already become a fashion icon at the tender age of two. Blue's dress, a one-of-a-kind design from a Parisian couture studio, is no longer available for sale, according to InStyle.com on Aug 25. A number of fashion websites report being inundated with requests from parents who want to duplicate Blue Ivy's VMA look from head to toe for their own little girls.
Blue Ivy's public appearance at the VMAs is considered rare because Beyonce and Jay Z usually keep their daughter out of the public eye. It has not gone unnoticed that most of Beyonce's Instagram photos of Blue show her from behind, or from an angle that partially obscures her face. Other than paparazzi shots, the little girls's face is rarely shown. Fans were treated to close-ups of Blue Ivy as VMA cameras zoomed in and captured her diva moves, some of which even surprised her famous dad.
Jay Z's reaction was priceless as he watched Blue Ivy grooving to the music, bobbing her little head, working her little shoulders and doing her version of the "Single Ladies" hand wave in imitation of one of her famous mother's signature moves. Jay Z's surprised expression changed to a look of delight, followed by a look of pride which spread across his face as he gave a quick glance towards the cameras to see if they were capturing his little girl's moves.
When Jay Z carried little Blue onstage to present Beyonce with the coveted Michael Jackson Vanguard award, she waved to the audience. And when Blue excitedly clapped along with the cheering crowd and said "Yay mommy!" as Beyonce received her Vanguard award, the toddler stole everyone's heart. There were countless tear-filled eyes as Beyonce, Jay Z and Blue Ivy shared an emotional Carter family hug.

In response to the Russian Duma authorization for use of force on Ukrainian soil by Pres. Vladimir Putin, the interim government in Kiev on Mar 2 issued mobilization orders for all Ukrainian reservists to report for duty.
Ukraine's acting president; Oleksandr Turchynov also put active duty Ukrainian forces on a war footing which sets into motion military defense plans of airports, nuclear power plants and national infrastructure such as highways, bridges, dams and sea ports.
As these events unfolded diplomatic efforts to tamp down the mushrooming crisis continued with a ninety minute phone conversation between Pres. Barack Obama and Pres. Putin, which ended fruitlessly. British Foreign Minister William Hague also summoned the Russian Ambassador in London for a rare Saturday meeting in which the latter merely reiterated the same points Pres. Putin made to Pres. Obama.
The most revealing point made is the Russian government insistence that Russia has the right to protect ethnic Russian lives and national interests in 'eastern Ukraine'. This is revealing in that it is not inclusive of or specific to Crimea, which the Russians are obviously treating as a separate matter.
In acknowledging Russian troops were in Crimea, the Russian government has been citing security agreements with Ukraine as justification, though the envelope of those agreements has been pushed to the limit and beyond already.
Pres. Putin's actions are now shifting from political/diplomatic maneuvering to military strategy. As the buildup of Russian combat troops in Crimea continues, running in tandem are very public clashes in eastern Ukraine between ethnic Ukrainians and ethnic Russians.
Donetsk, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk have all seen these clashes play out; no doubt the result of a little 'community organizing' in the shadows as domestic Russian media echoes more and more jingoism and continues to paint Ukrainians as fascists and Nazis while reminding Russians of Ukrainian collaboration with invading German forces in 1941; history that does have basis in truth.
One city where ethnic clashes have taken place is the city of Odessa in the south of Ukraine which lies between Crimea and Transnistria, a breakaway republic founded after the Soviet collapse which is effectively a Russian enclave similar to South Ossetia and Abkhazia which were carved out of Georgian territory.
Ukrainian forces which are more heavily concentrated in western Ukraine rather than the east could occupy Transnistria in response to a Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine. It's likely they would be successful since Russian forces advancing from the east, would have to cross eastern Ukraine and fjord the Dnieper River before then advancing to rescue the approximately 1,500 Russian troops in Transnistria.
And added prize for Ukraine would be the enormous ammunition depots still present from Soviet days; provided the Russian troops guarding them are defeated before they can blow up the depots.
A secondary Russian force striking north out of Crimea into Ukraine and pivoting west could reach Odessa, then Transnistria far more quickly than Russian troops currently mobilized on the eastern border of Ukraine. Additionally, an attack out of Crimea could also employ flanking Russian amphibious assaults behind Ukrainian lines along the Black Sea coast to force retreats and speed up the Russian advance.
A Russian advance south out of Belarus could also be employed. However, it would be moving through majority ethnic Ukrainian territory where the bulk of Ukraine's land forces are positioned. The advance would be much slower and likely be harried by both Ukrainian combat formations and partisan militias.
When Russia attacked the former Soviet Republic of Georgia in 2008, the authorization of force was executed with lightning speed after passage in the Duma. There is a delay this time with Ukraine and a buildup of a strike force in Crimea is the most logical explanation, since the longer Putin waits the more time Ukraine has to prepare defenses in the east and assemble reserves into combat units.

Ebony Recruits Bloggers for New Beauty Awards Program
Tuesday, August 23, 2011
In a novel new editorial program to leverage the online community, Ebony magazine has recruited beauty bloggers to judge the best products for Black American women. In the new issue of Ebony, the first Beauty and Grooming Awards singles out over 50 items, from "oil-zapping cleansers" to "illuminating bronzers," "brow enhancers" to "wrap lotions." An initial slate of candidates were drawn by professionals in the field, but products then were sent out to some of the top bloggers in the beauty community. The results were unveiled this week at Ebony.com and in the new issue of the magazine.
The new program was a pure editorial program, Ebony CEO Desiree Rogers tells minonline. The company did not solicit any advertising from companies that won awards, but the brands were notified of the win and can use the Beauty and Grooming Awards stamp to market their products. Winners included Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss, Biore Steam Activated Cleanser and Miss Jesse's Quick Curls.
The program aims to launch a new franchise for Ebony that the company can extend to print, digital, retail and mobile applications.

"CHEPE" San José by Kindra
San José Travel Guide: 571 reviews and 1,088 photos
At first appearance, San Jose may ressemble any other loud, noisy and not so pretty Central American city. But those who stick around for a bit will discover that despite any of its shortcomings, San Jose is a very pleasant place to live with a great nightlife, tons of activities, great people, good public transport, many relatively safe neighbourhoods and a wealth of delicious and diverse restaurants to try.
I spent four months living and working here as a young intern and after spending 7 months in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, have grown to love and appreciate the extra freedoms I enjoy here in San Jose (compared to Tegus) and the fact that I am rarely bored.
The city is the country's capital and located smack in the middle of Costa Rica, acting as the main hub for travel within and out of the country. Within a few hours by bus, you can travel to the Pacific or the Caribbean sides to enjoy the country's many beaches, are about 8 hours bus ride in each direction to worthwhile destinations in Nicaragua and Panama and beautiful countrysides await you on your rides to the inner destinations of the country such as Arenal volcano or Monteverde.
Don't be fooled by first impressions but do take care. San Jose has experienced a great increase in crime over the past few years but good sense and some basic precautions should mean a happy and safe stay in the city.
Tip: Chepe is the Spanish nickname for Jose and thus most people, particularly Ticos living outside of the capital, refer to San Jose as CHEPE.
- Pros:Best nightlife and food in the country
- Cons:Big and sometimes polluted; crime can be high
- In a nutshell:More than just a stop on your way to other destinations

Previous Diary Entries
Jan. 9, 2004
What a great holiday season! Nearly three weeks ago, we kicked off our winter break with the second annual "Sips and Swings" wine tasting and auction, which was a huge success. It was fabulous to have so many of our friends and family at the event to support the team and enjoy each others company. Afterwards, all thirteen of us headed to Santa Cruz for a two night stay at Kelseys' (a Senior last year) amazing new beach house. In addition to enjoying the spectacular view and many hours of much needed sleep (after a week of finals), practically all of us learned how to knit (thanks to Kendall)!
Just a few days later, we had our first full intrasquad. Complete with judges and uniforms, we showcased our 2004 Stanford team. With a few misses here and there, we saw many opportunities for improvement, but overall, we were satisfied with our early season performance. After one more practice the next day, we all left "The Farm" for ten days at home.
Upon returning to lovely California, we all checked in to the "Creekside Inn," excited for a week to focus solely on gymnastics and each other before classes started up again. Outside of the gym, we had some productive shopping excursions, saw some good and not so good movies, and knitted a ridiculous number of scarves (Mandy Delgado!). For New Year's, we all went out to dinner and then hung out with the Men's gym team late into the night. Our break ended with our holiday party at Scott and Kristen's new house (which is absolutely incredible!), where we exchanged gifts and (really bad) poetry with our Secret Santa's. We've had a great time the last few weeks and are SO excited to start our 2004 campaign - Go Card!!!

Zambia and the IMF

A Letter to the Editor of The Post of Zambia
Dear Sir,
I am writing in response to your front-page article by Larry Moonze on October 20, in which I was reported to have said that "Zambia will only reach the HIPC completion point after it disposes of the Zambia National Commercial Bank".
I have not met or been interviewed by Mr. Moonze, so I was surprised to read his account of my alleged statements at the IMF mission's meeting with trade unions on October 18. The article actually appears to be based solely on statements by FFTUZ Vice President Teza Nchinga. This account of the meeting contains many distortions and misrepresentations. A clarification is needed in the interests of transparency, which we certainly support and many called for at the meeting.
Mr. Nchinga asked repeatedly whether the privatization of the Zambia National Commercial Bank (ZNCB) was a precondition for reaching the HIPC completion point. Each time my answer was factual. Among the HIPC trigger conditions approved in December 2000 by the Boards of the World Bank and IMF was the issuance of an offer for bids to purchase equity in ZNCB. I clearly explained that this condition had already been met. Moreover, I explained that the trigger condition was not the bank's sale because such a condition would have put the Government at a disadvantage in negotiations for the sale. It is my understanding that the Zambian Government plans to conclude the sale of equity in this bank. I made no statement about the financial condition of the bank, as the article incorrectly states.
I was also asked whether the Government should budget for a wage increase in 2005. My answer was that it was for Government to decide, taking into account its assessment of the need to hire workers in priority sectors. However, I did clarify that the Government's policy of holding the wage bill at 8 percent of GDP did not imply a wage freeze; rather it meant that the wage bill could grow in line with growth in the economy and underlying inflation.
We very much welcome the opportunity to discuss issues of concern to the unions and other members of Zambian civil society. Such meetings provide a constructive platform to discuss the many challenges facing Zambia. It is important, however, that these meetings be reported accurately.
Sincerely yours,
David Andrews

An important thing to remember with this ranking is it considers a team's depth. And, while the New Orleans Saints have arguably the best pass-catching tight end in football with Jimmy Graham, he does not put them at the top of this ranking.
The Carolina Panthers return a productive pass-catching tight end and added another one as a free agent who has shown route-running ability. That puts them at the top.
Here is the latest in our rankings of the NFC South by position groupings.
July 3: Tight ends
1. Carolina Panthers
The return of leading receiver Greg Olsen with the addition of fifth-year veteran Ed Dickson from the Baltimore Ravens gives the Panthers a more complete tight end grouping than any NFC South team.
Olsen has been a consistent producer in his three seasons with the Panthers, and last season he led the team in catches (73), yards (816) and touchdowns (six). The addition of Dickson, who caught 25 passes last season and 54 three years ago, will allow the Panthers to go forward with their plans to use more two-tight end sets.
The Panthers' current roster has six tight ends, all with NFL experience.
2. New Orleans Saints
The 6-foot-7 Jimmy Graham causes matchup problems for all sorts of defenses because he is too quick for most linebackers and too big for most defensive backs. His 86 catches, 1,215 yards and 15 touchdowns were the most among all NFL tight ends.
And, assuming another team doesn't swipe him from the Saints, those numbers make him a standard-bearer for the rest of the division, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected a big tight end in the 2014 NFL draft.
In addition to Graham, the Saints have 10-year veteran Benjamin Watson (19 catches, 226 yards, two touchdowns in 2013) and second-year player Josh Hill (six catches, 44 yards, one touchdown), along with rookies Je'Ron Hamm and Nic Jacobs.
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Veteran free agent Brandon Myers is one year removed from catching 79 passes for the Oakland Raiders in 2012, and he caught 47 for the New York Giants in 2013. He will be paired with second-round 2014 NFL draft pick Austin Seferian-Jenkins from Washington.
To call Seferian-Jenkins a Graham-like player might be an overstatement. But in college he caught 146 passes over three seasons, including 69 as a junior and 36 in 2013 as a senior. His arrival could make a difference at a position that offered little production last season.
4. Atlanta Falcons
From Tony Gonzalez to ... Bear Pascoe? The veteran free agent from the New York Giants is the only tight end on the Falcons' roster with an NFL catch within the last three seasons. The other four tight ends on the roster are either rookies or recent practice squad players.
That's quite a drop-off from a likely Hall of Fame player who caught 83 passes for 859 yards and eight touchdowns last season. Think Matt Ryan will miss him?

The Stanford contingent of the 4,000-plus fans in Maples Pavilion may have been nervous when the Cardinal's 30-point second-half lead over No. 21/19 California dwindled to five with just 18 seconds to play, but All-American Chiney Ogwumike wasn't worried.
"I never go 'uh-oh,'" the national player of the year candidate said when asked when at which point she uttered the phrase during the Golden Bears comeback attempt. "We always talk about keeping our poise. That's the one thing that may have helped their run, that we may have stayed a little too calm and too poised at times. We need to kick into another gear."
Ogwumike scored 23 points and grabbed 12 rebounds for her 16th double-double of the season as fourth-ranked Stanford (20-1, 9-0 Pac-12) rode out California's desperate assault over the final 13 minutes to grab the 70-64 victory.
The teams will play again in three days, tipping off at 1 p.m. Sunday in Berkeley in a game televised on ESPN2.
Taylor Greenfield hit consecutive 3-pointers to cap a 12-0 Stanford run and put the Cardinal up by 30 at 59-29 and on the way to an easy win with 13:35 to play. Just over a minute later, Erica McCall and California's Brittany Boyd went down fighting for a rebound, and the moment seemed to send a shot through the Golden Bears, who had looked listless over the previous 28 minutes.
The Bears (14-6, 6-3 Pac-12) scored 14 straight points before Ogwumike hit a pair of free throws to snap a nearly five-minute Stanford scoring drought and make it 61-43 with 8:50 to play. California had grabbed just 17 rebounds to 24 for Stanford in the first half but had suddenly come alive on the boards, pulling down 27 over the final 20 minutes.
California's Brittany Boyd score 25 points to lead all players, and Gennifer Brandon came off the bench for 10 points and 10 rebounds, eight of each coming in the second half.
Despite Stanford's offense cooling off and making just three more field goals, all from Ogwumike, the rest of the way, the Cardinal defense kept its composure enough to make key stops. Twice during the 13-minute stretch Stanford held California scoreless for nearly two minutes, eating up valuable clock. The Golden Bears went over the limit with 3:11 to go, and a combination of Stanford going 3-for-4 from the line and Ogwumike coming up with key buckets inside at the 2:12 mark and with 52 seconds to play put enough distance between the teams to wrap up Stanford's 19th straight win.
Highlighting the Cardinal's defensive effort was Mikaela Ruef, who was tasked much of the game with defending California's Reshanda Gray, and held the Golden Bear center scoreless and to just five rebounds. Ruef complimented her fine defensive play with eight points and 12 rebounds.
"We played really well for about 30 minutes out of 40, but the games are 40 minutes long," Setsuko Ishiyama Director of Women's Basketball Tara VanDerveer said. "I think the end of this game had to get everyone's attention on our team, and we need to get ready to go against them Sunday."
Gray went to the bench with 10:42 remaining in the first half and the teams separated by two points, Stanford up 15-13. From there the Cardinal went after California's smaller lineup, ripping off eight straight points including a pair of jumpers from freshman Erica McCall. The lead increased the 11 at 36-25 on Karlie Samuelson's 3-pointer with 2:47 to go, then the freshman, capped off her 12-point first half with a triple just before the buzzer as Stanford took a 43-25 lead into the break.
Samuelson scored 14 points on the night to lead a strong bench effort for the Cardinal. Stanford's bench outscored California's 32-19 Thursday, as Greenfield added 10 points and McCall went for eight points with four rebounds in 13 minutes."I was really excited about how Karlie played, and Taylor really came in and helped us, and Erica McCall had really big minutes for us," VanDerveer said.

Chad Ochocinco
Miami, Florida
"Everybody says, 'He's always talking.' But out on the field I'm walking the walk, baby, every Sunday."
- Chad Ochocinco
Chad Ochocinco has been blurring the line between sports and entertainment since 2001 when he performed his first of many over-the-top touchdown celebrations. His flamboyant routines have gone on to generate millions of hits on YouTube and thousands of dollars in fines from the NFL. "(Commissioner Paul) Tagliabue and most of the suits in this league are all old-school, and I really don't think they're for the end-zone celebrations," Ochocinco admits. "But I know in the back of their minds they are laughing. They can't wait to see what No. 85 is going to do next. Even though it's something they don't like, I guarantee they think what I'm doing is entertaining."
As of late, however, Chad's series of unfortunate events has everyone talking. He was dropped from the Miami Dolphins and his new reality show, Ev and Ocho, was pulled by VH1. To make matters worse, he was arrested for a case involving domestic battery with Evelyn Lozada, who has since filed for divorce.
As of late, however, Chad's series of unfortunate events has everyone talking. He was dropped from the Miami Dolphins and his new reality show, Ev and Ocho, was pulled by VH1. To make matters worse, he was arrested for a case involving domestic battery with Evelyn Lozada, who has since filed for divorce.
So, what does this prolific wide receiver look for in a woman? "My mind-set is that I think outside the box," he says. "I'm all over the place and I want to experience everything. Black, white, Chinese, I don't care what you are. If you put a smile on my face, I don't want much." What Ochocinco does want is someone who truly embraces life. "You have to have a personality like me," he says. "Someone fun and outgoing, passionate about life in general, a go-getter with a sense of humor. Beautiful is OK, but I've dealt with beautiful women so many times before and they had nothing else to offer. I need more than that."
It would help if fans simply took a look at his impressive body of work. This dependable six-time Pro Bowler owns seven franchise records including most receiving yards in a season, most receiving yards all-time, most receptions, most touchdown receptions, most receiving yards in a game, most seasons with over 1,000 receiving yards, and most touchdown receptions in a game. And he isn't done yet. Ochocinco firmly believes that his dedicated approach will allow him to break more records in the years to come. "My work ethic will always keep me on top of my game," he says. "The reason I've been successful is because of the way I work."
Chad Ochocinco BiographyChad Ochocinco has taken the road less traveled to become an NFL superstar. Born Chad Javon Johnson, he first began showcasing his world-class speed and 40-inch vertical leap at Miami Beach High School where he starred on the varsity football team. Ochocinco's knack for hauling in touchdown passes caught the attention of recruiters from Miami and Florida State, but they ultimately had to pass on the promising young wide receiver after it became clear that his grades were too low to attend their schools. Undaunted, he attended night classes to earn his diploma and later enrolled at Langston University, a small NAIA school in Oklahoma. Ochocinco had hoped he could jump-start his football career with the Lions, but he was kicked out prior to his first game after getting into a skirmish with a fellow student.
chad ochocinco attends oregon stateAn older and slightly wiser Chad Ochocinco resurfaced the next year at Santa Monica College, where he teamed up with future NFL star Steve Smith to form one of the best receiving corps in the country. Ochocinco adapted to the college game almost immediately, but adapting to the classroom was another matter altogether. His tendency to blow off classes caught up with him by the end of his freshman year and he was forced to sit out the entire 1998 season after being declared academically ineligible. The ruling served as a wake-up call for the Miami native and he returned in 1999 with more focus than ever before. His increased maturity impressed college recruiters and he was invited to join the big time in 2000 when Oregon State University offered him a full scholarship. Ochocinco happily accepted and went on to lead the Ducks to an 11-1 record and a convincing win over Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl in his first -- and only -- season at the school.
chad ochocinco is drafted by the cincinnati bengalsChad Ochocinco's athleticism generated plenty of buzz among NFL teams and he was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals with the 36th pick in the 2001 NFL Draft. It proved to be a wise move as he reeled in 28 catches for 329 yards and one touchdown in his rookie season, despite spending a full month on the injured reserve with a broken collarbone.
chad ochocinco has a breakout yearChad Ochocinco proved that his promising rookie season wasn't a fluke in 2002 as he led the Bengals in receptions (69), receiving yards (1,166) and yards per catch (16.9). Along the way he also tied the club record with five 100-yard receiving games, providing long suffering Cincinnati fans with something to celebrate in an otherwise disastrous 2-14 season.
chad ochocinco leads the afc in receiving yardsChad Ochocinco continued to improve in 2003. His 1,355 receiving yards led the AFC and his career-high 90 receptions and 10 touchdowns were both tops on the Bengals. His impressive performance earned him the admiration of fans around the league as well as his first of five consecutive trips to the Pro Bowl, where he recorded five catches for 156 yards and one touchdown.
chad ochocinco leads the bengals back to respectabilityChad Ochocinco enjoyed another phenomenal year in 2004, as he led the AFC with 1,274 receiving yards and was third in the NFL with a career-high 95 catches. His brilliance finally began rubbing off on the Bengals as well as the team finished with eight wins for the first time since 1996.
chad ochocinco leads the bengals into the playoffsThe Bengals truly hit their stride in 2005 as they won 11 games and made the playoffs for the first time in 16 seasons. The club couldn't have done it without Chad Ochocinco, who established new career highs with 11 catches in a win over the Detroit Lions and 189 yards in a loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He finished the season with 97 catches and an AFC-leading 1,432 receiving yards.
the bengals struggle to competeSadly, the Bengals would miss out on the playoffs in each of the next three seasons.
The blame could hardly be directed at Chad Ochocinco, however, as he averaged 78 catches for 1,116 yards and 6 touchdowns per year while becoming the first NFL player to lead his conference in receiving yards in four straight seasons. His steady play also allowed him to surpass legendary Bengal Isaac Curtis as the team's all-time leader in receiving yards.
chad ochocinco legally changes his nameThe Bengals's struggles weren't the only news in town. Chad Ochocinco made headlines of his own on August 29, 2008, when he legally changed his name from Chad Johnson to his present moniker of Chad Ochocinco to match his jersey number. The bizarre announcement became major fodder for sports and gossip programs all around America, leading many pundits to question whether Ochocinco's head was still in the game.
the bengals bounce backChad Ochocinco silenced his critics in 2009, by catching 72 passes for 1,047 yards and nine touchdowns. His stellar play helped power the Bengals to a 10-6 record and the team advanced to the playoffs for the first time since 2005, before bowing out to the New York Jets. Ochocinco had every right to take a holiday following the season, but instead he tackled a brand new challenge by appearing as a contestant on the tenth season of Dancing with the Stars. His showmanship and fancy footwork served him well on the program and he finished in fourth place.
chad ochocinco adds to his legacyChad Ochocinco continues to add to his impressive legacy in his 10th professional season. He surpassed 10,000 career receiving yards on September 12, 2010, in a loss to the New England Patriots and he hauled in his 700th career reception on September 19, 2010, in a victory over the Baltimore Ravens.
Move to the New England PatriotsIn 2011, Chad Ochocinco was acquired by the Patriots in exchange for a three-year $6.35 million contract. His first season with them wasn't particularly productive for him -- he caught 15 passes for 276 yards and only one touchdown.
Chad Ochocinco and social mediaChad Ochocinco is one of the most avid Twitter users among professional athletes. On March 12, 2012, Ochocinco informed hishis 3-million-plus followers "Dinner in NY tonight -- 1st 200 people at Sylvia's Restaurant by 7 pm in Harlem. Leave ya money/credit cards at home. I got you this time."
Within minutes, a line snaked around the block, and true to his word, Ochocinco paid for a full dinner for 200 at Sylvia's that night. Who said social media can't be used for good IRL?
Chad Ochocinco Arrested And More
As of late, Chad's series of unfortunate events has everyone talking. He was dropped from the Miami Dolphins and his new reality show, Ev and Ocho, was pulled by VH1. To make matters worse, he was arrested for a case involving domestic battery with Evelyn Lozada, who has since filed for divorce.

An Introduction
"Let not the simplicity of this method deter you from its use, for you will find the further your researches advance, the greater you will realize the simplicity of all creation"
- Dr. Edward BachIn Bach Flower Therapy, as in homeopathy, 'disease' is understood to be merely the end product of a much deeper disharmony in the patient's self. The mind being the most sensitive 'part' of the body, the disharmony that leads to disease, manifests itself most clearly in the mental outlook of the patient. Hence, in Bach Flower Therapy, the mental outlook of the patient alone is taken as the guide in selecting the remedies.
Bach Flower Therapy is based on 38 flower-based remedies, each of which can heal a particular negative emotional state. With these remedies, in the words of Edward Bach, "not only can we heal ourselves, but we have the great privilege of being able to help others to heal themselves, and the only qualifications necessary are love and sympathy." The remedies used are completely free of side effects, are non-habit-forming and can also be used for stress relief and self improvement.
If you happen to be interested in gaining a deeper understanding of this system, we urge you to read Dr Bach's books Free Thyself and Heal Thyself.

Laptop Screens
Is anything I learned about television the same for laptop screens?
All the color perception stuff is the same. That is, the picture that you
see on your laptop screen is again made up of many red, green and blue dots.
So the back of my laptop screen is coated with phosphors too!
No, this is where things become different. On a laptop screen each "dot" is
actually a tiny device rather than a phosphor.
One "pixel" is made up of 3 "cells".
What do you mean by a "tiny device"?
Let's call it a "cell." You can think of the laptop screen as made up of a lot
of tiny cells. White light coming from behind the screen passes through each
cell and emerges toward you as you watch the screen. At the end of the cell
the light goes through a red, green or blue filter, so the cell takes on that
color. A "trio" of red, green and blue cells taken together is a pixel. The
color of each pixel is determined by how bright its three cells are.
So each cell is like a phosphor. But how is the brightness of a cell
controlled? In a TV the brightness was controlled by an electron beam hitting
phosphors. I'll bet in a laptop it has something to do with liquid crystals!
Absolutely! But before we discuss liquid crystals we need to recall some facts
about polarization. Do you remember what happens when unpolarized light first
goes through a vertical polarizing lens and then through a horizontal
polarizing lens?
Yeah, it gets completely blocked. But we could use some intermediate
polarizing lenses to "twist" the light so that some got through.
That's right. In a similar way, a liquid crystal device can rotate the
polarization of the light, so that it gets through the second polarizer. But
when we apply an electric signal, the liquid crystal no longer rotates the
light, and then it gets blocked. In this experiment,
when the current is "on" the device glows yellow.
Wait a second... we turn the signal on and the cell goes dark? That's
confusing. I have so many questions! First, how does that liquid crystal
device work?

Story 8.5/10:
Although it is the usual go against your superior's, be betrayed by someone, and save the world; the presentation of the usual story is superb. Atleast the weapon threatening the USA, and the means to provide the downfall of the USA was original. The main story is too short thought, but atleast the characters make it enjoyable enough for more than one playthrough. I must give kudo's for the beginning tutorial, as it places you in the mission that is the background for the story.
Graphics 9/10:
Simply put . . . beautiful. The jungles are lush and green with swaying trees and moving sun rays and spectacular shadows. The winter enviorments are amazing with the depiction of snow around buildings, moutains, stairs etc.. Deserts made me feel hot with the sun shining bright and relfecting off the sand and huge sand dunes. What really amazed me was the blowing snow and sand, which makes sniping or long range shooting tactical. I am sure they may be better graphics on one game or another but I really fell in love with the look of this game.
Sound 10/10:
UNBELIEVEABLE. I have never played a game with sounds as amazing, realistic and sharp as this game. The first hour or two of game play had me jumping out of my socks at the gunfire or explosions coming through the surround sound. I am still amazed this game is on dvd (360 version) because blu-ray sound is usually the best but the sound fromt he game surpasses any blu-ray I have heard.
Difficulty 8/10:
With some spots of difficulty I would say it is not that difficult. I easily finished the campaign on Medium, and I am having no problems with Hard. It does have difficult spots that may take more than one try though, but nothing to frustrating.
Multiplayer: 25-30 hours of gametime:
Ease of getting in the game 8/10:
Fairly easy. There are several modes to choose from, several maps to choose from and you have the option of being specific in your search or opting to find any game in each category. Shortly after release there was / has been some connectivity issues, but rarely have I had no connectivity.
Interactions 8.5/10:
Controlled is the best way to put it. Although you could technically spawn camp, it is / would be difficult due to the game mechanics. During your first few hours of MP it will feel like everyone is spawn camping, but after you get the feel of the game play you will understand that it is more of bad timing / bad luck. As far as voice / chat , not many use the voice and if you dont wnat to listen to the kids run their mouth / sing you can unplug the headset and play without fear of being kicked.
Fun factor (including difficulty) 8/10:
In the beginning you will definitely feel overwhelmed and possibly frustrated. However after a little work over a few hours you will begin to march up the ranks. There are 5 diffrent classes and your rank to level up. All points go towards your rank, where as only points scored using your class go to class leveling up. Conquest and Rush modes can be dizzying due to being overwhelmed but squad deathmatch is 4 diffrent squads out to kill each other (every squad for themselves) so the concentration isnt just on your squad. As you level up you unlock spec. items, weapons etc.. I find the septup very rewarding and fun. The competition is pretty fierce and I sometimes find myself irritated due to being slaughtered relentlessly. Playing with friends and joking over voice helps in maintaining vigilance lol. Class difficulty would be something like . . . Recon: Hard; Medic: Medium; Assault: Easy; Engineer: Medium; Vehicles: Hard.
Mechanics 8/10:
Battle mechanics appear consistent. Sniping halfway across the map doesnt give a lot of bullet drop, but using a 12x scope and sniping further than halfway will have you factoring a click above the head. Sniping moving targets requires you to lead the target aka bullet flight speed. If you hold the trigger down on a machine gun its gonna do nothing but spray everything but your target. RPG's drop over distance etc..
Overall thoughts 8.5/10:
Overall I find this game is a complete package and worth buying. The game is fun, strategic, tactical, slightly customizable and competative . Although the single player is a bit short (but sweet) and the multiplayer frustrating to get started against people with time already in; I feel it is worth it. The graphics and sounds along with classes and customization through spec items makes the enjoyment of multiplayer much higher than the frustration. It is possible to have private matches but you need 8 players, so that could be an answer to your frustration. I may not make games for a living, but I have sure played my fair share! And I give this game two thumbs up

Kink Gong
After recording the indigenous musics of countless Asian villages and releasing over 50 cd-r's of these documents on his own label, Laurent Jeanneau debuts his own KINK GONG electro project on Atavistic!
"Since 1995 I am involved in two complementary activities - first recording ethnic minority music, mostly in southeast asia (India, Tanzania, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, China); and second, composing electronic music that includes or transforms those recordings. Every country has a different context, so also my approach is different - depending on how much time I spend, how close I am with the people, the degree of acculturation, how easy it is to find musicians, the political situation, who I am working with. In many cases, I seem to be the first one to record those musicians; I am aware of this exclusive dimension, but this is not essential. I won't pretend that I'm doing it for saving endangered cultures, nowadays everyone is using those words..." -LJ, 2009.

The 4th annual Art Pahl Accordion Fest will be held Sunday (tomorrow!) in Le Mars, IA, at the Plymouth County Historical Museum. The festival honors Pahl, a local accordionist known for playing at civic events, who passed away in 2003, and includes a lineup of midwestern accordionists from five states, including Pahl's daughter, Marie Bender. Pahl's last wish before dying of cancer was to have an accordion jam, and he participated in the first festival just before he passed away. Although players have already signed up to perform, walk-ins are welcome and anyone who plays the accordion is encouraged to show up and jam the afternoon away.

Creating A Great Guest Room
Create an elegant guest room with the appropriate paint, lighting, and decor, in order to make your guests feel at home.
Unless you have my grandfather's philosophy of "company is like fish, after three days they began to stink," you probably want your guest room to be as comfortable and accommodating as possible. Not only will your guests enjoy their stay, but entertaining will be easier for you as well. You feel kind of bad if all you have to offer your guests is a futon in the office and they get to share the kid's bathroom. Or, in actuality, stand in line and fight for it. To get your guest room started on the right track, try following the following general steps.
Make a plan. Start with an empty room, and formulate your plan. Is the room big enough and does it have adequate closet space? What about adding a bathroom; why not create the ultimate bed & breakfast appeal with a private bath?
Do the basics. Work from the top down, painting your walls and ceiling warm alluring colors. Choose comfortable, yet durable flooring. Carpet is the most comfortable for bedrooms, although a wood floor with radiant heat beneath can be comfortable as well.
Don't forget lighting and ventilation. Make sure your room has well-placed lighting to create a cozy and cheerful environment. Natural lighting is best during the day, so add plenty of windows. Nothing ruins an environment quite like stale odors; windows will help to add ventilation. Add bedside lamps for reading or wall sconces for soft evening light.
Add a touch of royalty. What better way to create a really luxurious experience than with a romantic fireplace? There are several designs that are quite easy to install and really add to the ambiance. Many of these units are quite beautiful, and can even be incorporated into other cabinetry, such as a built-in entertainment center. Or, how about a corner unit above a Jacuzzi tub?
Include some entertainment. The fireplace is crackling, the candles are flickering in the sconces, and your guests have just finished a relaxing soak in their private bath. Now, they can read or how about watching a little TV on that new plasma television suspended in the corner? If your guests are tech savvy, they may also appreciate a data port or wireless capability.
Incorporate a personal touch. The finishing touches are the key. Decorate with some tasteful art. Fill the room with all the comforts of home including: soft towels, soaps, lotions, a coffee pot, and even a hair dryer. If you really want to score some points, you can even include robes and slippers in the closet.
After a truly relaxing evening, your guests sleep wonderfully on the comfortable king size bed you've provided. They wake in the morning to the songs of the birds splashing happily in the birdbath on the veranda outside the French doors. They grab a cup of coffee, and breathe in the fresh air as they step out onto your flower sprinkled patio. Come to think of it, if you create a room this comfortable, your guests may never want to leave! Obviously, these are just a few ideas of what you can do with a guest room. You can work with your contractor to create a comfortable room to fit your needs and budget. Request a free-estimate from a certified contractor today.

Disposable paper cups have earned the bad boy reputation for a number of reasons but largely it's all about the environmental ill effects. In America alone, people throw away billions of these coffee and tea cups.
But as they say, every truth or fact has two sides, and it turns out that the other side of this disposable coffee cup story is not so bad.
The Usual Belief against Disposable Coffee Cups
You might have come across the term Styrofoam in some way or the other. It is the most common raw materials used in manufacturing plastic paper cups. It comes from a petroleum by-product and takes more than five centuries to degrade. That explains why environmentalists hate such cups.
A lot of people have also expressed concerns over the use of extra things with a cup of coffee. Cup lids, stirring straws and mug handles contain high amounts of plastic too.
Other Side of the Story
Countering these concerns, researchers have now come up with more advanced options. Some of the disposable cup variants now use biodegradable and eco-friendly raw materials with high sustainability. In fact, these cups are also recyclable for further use. Even the coffee cup lids and stirrer are available in environmental friendly raw materials.
Benefits of Such Disposable Cups
Apart from being sustainable, there are plenty of other positives about these cups and lids.
- Paper cups are much more affordable. They even cost lesser than plastic disposable options.
- They serve many purposes and used to carry almost all kinds of drinkable liquids.
- Reusable and environmental friendly cups save water and wood. They even control carbon dioxide emission.
- They are easy to use. Wastage risk is comparatively lesser.
- The packed cups are suitable for use even after many years. Business owners can resell unused stock too.
- For large events and service businesses, it is probably the only practical option. Wastage and extra costs controlled.
What Does It Mean for You?
As a normal consumer or restaurant owner, why does it mean for you? Can you really use the paper disposable coffee cups to substitute plastic options? It seems like that you can and save a lot of money at the same time too. Paper cups are getting better with time and technological advancements in their use.
Whatever bad things people have talked about irresponsive disposal, soil erosion, global warming and toxicity has concrete answers. You can explore the multiple variants in the group and still be carefree about environmental hazards.

Since we have two, the crate if fairly good sized. It's about 2 feet deep by four feet wide. Gives them room to rumble, and space to put something to climb on.
FYI - one of mine did chew on the furniture for awhile - he's the one that's not neutered. Don't know if that has anything to do with it, but he's clearly the most aggressive and territorial of the two.
Anyway, he stopped after awhile.

Florida bobcat (Lynx rufus floridanus)
This is a medium sized cat with a total length of 24-40 inches and a weight of 40-25 pounds. They have a very short tail, relatively long legs, and rather long, loose fur with longer cheek fur forming sideburns. The upper parts are reddish-brown spotted or streaked with black, and white below, spotted or streaked with black. The breeding season is from early January to March, and they are probably monogamous. A litter of 1-5 kittens is born in a den in April or May. This is a good climber, but prefers the ground and is also a good swimmer, but only if forced. It has a swift, distinctive bounding gait. It is very secretive and sticks to cover. It is seldom found in the open except at night, for it is a nocturnal species. It has a range from 5-50 miles in diameter. The life span in the wild is 6-8 years.
In Virginia they are found mainly in the southeastern corner. They are found in rough topography, in all habitat types. There is little avoidance of any habitat of any habitat type except highly developed areas and those with dense human populations. Clearings and old fields are important for hunting areas.
This species is the primary predator of small game. The cottontail rabbit is the top preferred food. They also feed heavily on large rodents such as the hispid cotton rat. They occasionally kill white-tail deer.

Best known as Merle from AMC's hit series 'The Walking Dead' Michael Rooker talked brainstorming on the set and his new upcoming film 'Guardians of the Galaxy' while at Denver Comic Con. Rooker is not only a talented actor, he also loved comic books as a kid and has mad skills like throwing knives and hatchets.
Rooker was one of many spectacular celebs who came together for the third annual Denver Comic Con last weekend, June 13-15, 2014. The event raised funds for to raise funds for the non-profit organization Comic Book Classroom.
Q. What can you share about your new film 'Guardians of the Galaxy?'
A. It was a lot of fun. There are not a lot of details that I can say at this point. For me, work is not work. I go on set, and it's like hanging out with your buddies and doing these beautiful scenes. We're trying to make these things look really cool, and real. We would be brainstorming about a scene and try to come up with creative ideas to make something work; something you haven't seen before. The actors were involved in the brainstorming. One, or two, or three brains are better one. Except when I'm involved. My brain's a bit twisted, so my ideas come out kind of odd and interesting.
Q. Was life on the set of 'The Walking Dead' always down to business or were there some good blooper moments?
A. There were those days when it was down to business; let's get this done and go home. Then there were the times when the silly string comes out. Accidents happened on set. Bloopers came out of these accidents; by pure goofiness. There were times when you're just not on that day and couldn't say the words. It was really a lot of fun.
Q. Were you a fan of comic books as a kid?
A. I did. I like to tell people that I looked at the pictures. I really did. I think my brain just works that way. I work in a visual way; the panels are put together so you can you can view the story visually. Now that I think about how I read regular script, I can tell you that if regular scripts had panels in them, I would get through the scripts much faster. I'm just a visual guy; that's what clicks for me. The words can also give you a visual though to help. I haven't read many scripts that have panels in them...except for 'Mallrats.' 'Mallrats' had panels that told the story through the pictures.
Q. Do you have a favorite superhero?
A. I've always liked the 'Hulk.' I grew up watching 'The Hulk' on TV. I like 'Wolverine,' 'Silver Surfer, 'and 'Batman' has been a big favorite for a long time. Am I naming all the Marvel characters?
Q. Do you have any hidden talents that you fans would be surprised to know about?
A. I have a strange ability to catch things and hit things...except for baseball. I was at Stan Lee's baseball game last Saturday in San Francisco. He was so fast; I'm tellin' you. Stan Lee, at 91, is so fast. I couldn't believe how fast he threw the ball. It rolled past me, past two other people behind me, and bounced off the wall. He has super Stan Lee power. I can throw things up in the air and catch them in my mouth...like popcorn, and grapes. And I throw stuff. I can throw knives, hatchets, axes, and stuff like that. I shoot. I'm a pretty good shot. You can see some of my antics on You Tube.

If you became a single mom as a result of divorce, and your ex-husband is still part of the program when it comes to your kids, you will inevitably have to endure the day when your children are with him instead of you on a major holiday. Whether it is Christmas, Easter, or the Fourth of July, there will come a time when it hits you: My kids are with my ex and I am missing this holiday in their lives and losing precious time that we will never get back.
How do you handle the cacophony of emotions that comes with this revelation and still maintain your dignity?
Even worse than this scenario – one day there may be a new significant other in your ex's life. And then you will have to face the reality of your children spending that important never-get-it-back holiday with their dad and his girlfriend. It all boils down to the rather unsettling realization that some other woman is there with your kids, and you, The Mother, are not.
I can think of two ways to handle this:
- Option 1. Call up your ex and scream at him, telling him how inconsiderate he is, and doesn't he even care that you are home alone cleaning the house while he is out riding roller coasters and going to the circus and eating in nice restaurants on his vacation with the kids? Doesn't he care that you gave birth to these children and don't you at least deserve to be with them on all major holidays? Shouldn't he be the one at home scrubbing toilets, wallowing in misery, thinking about how he should have treated you better (like he treats his current girlfriend) and maybe you wouldn't be in this predicament?
- Option 2, and perhaps a more EFFECTIVE way to handle the situation, because frankly, Option 1 warrants MAJOR therapy on your end – no offense – because obviously, you are still very bitter that he cheated on you and instead of a life of torment, anguish and regret, he just moved on with his life and left you alone on Arbor Day.
Option 2 is a bit more of a refined approach to the dilemma of your ex and his woman spending the holidays with your kids. As the ridiculously popular with eight-year-old girls, never-stop-singing-all-the-songs-from-it movie, Frozen, advises, "Let it go." Yup. Option 2 is that simple. LET. IT. GO.
Consider these possible scenarios:
- If your kids are safe, your ex is an acceptable (or possibly, great – even though he lets them eat chocolate cake before bed and forgets to make them brush their teeth) dad who relishes time spent with his children because you have primary custody and he only gets to see them every other weekend and major holidays or school vacations…LET IT GO.
- If your ex's girlfriend is a kindhearted woman, who perhaps has children herself and totally understands what it means to miss her kids when they are off with their dad and his tart-of-the-month…LET IT GO.
- If your kids are with a loving family, having an experience that perhaps you can't give them (e.g., you don't own a jet ski but the rich grandparents have three; you don't have a vacation home in Destin, but the aunt and uncle do, complete with in-ground pool; the girlfriend's neighbors own horses and your kids are learning to ride for free)…LET IT GO.
Ultimately, as a parent, whether you are divorced, single, married – whatever the case may be – it's about the kids. If you can always remind yourself that your children's happiness is of utmost importance and if you keep them from experiencing happiness with ex-husbands and ex-family members and new girlfriends or even tarts-of-the-month, then you are preventing them from experiencing life with anyone but yourself. Is that fair? Don't you want your kids to grow up with an appreciation and/or tolerance for others? Of course you do. That's why you're such a great Mom.
Now, put down the vacuum, call up your friends, and make plans for having fun on whatever holiday it is that you are sans kids. You'll be a better mother as a result of the time you spend with yourself – without worrying about entertaining the kids when they are out of school for more than two consecutive days and start complaining that they are bored and why can't we ever do something fun?
And most importantly, remember this: Your kids are coming back to you. You'll have plenty of time to break them of the bad habits they learned with their dad and crazy Uncle Fred who let them watch PG-13 movies and they aren't even 10 yet. I know it's tempting…take a deep breath. Option 2.
