Purchase Arizona Baseball Tickets
TUCSON, Ariz. - Opening day is just two weeks away for the Arizona baseball team which began its official team practices earlier this week. The Wildcats open their 2012 season against North Dakota State on Friday, Feb. 17, at 6 p.m. at Hi Corbett Field.
Arizona hosted its first official full team workout at Hi Corbett Field on Wednesday. The Wildcats were set to host intrasquad scrimmages on Friday and Saturday, before a day off on Sunday in advance of a full week of practices next week.
The video scoreboard from Kindall Field/Sancet Stadium has been moved to Hi Corbett Field and is ready to be installed. Additionally, a yellow line is being added atop the eight-foot padded wall across the outfield fence to designate home runs. The taller metal fencing that extends above the padded wall will count as a homerun when a ball crashes into the metal fencing or over the wall altogether.
Arizona baseball season tickets, individual game tickets and mini-plans are on sale through the McKale Ticket Office and online. Seats in reserved seating locations are still available for purchase, but are selling quickly.
Be sure to keep up to date with the Wildcats as their preparations continue for the season opener. Follow Arizona Baseball on the team's official Facebook and Twitter (@ArizonaBaseball) pages. Also, follow head coach Andy Lopez (@CoachAndyLopez) on Twitter, too.

Some fans think that a fighter that holds a world championship belt would fight more regularly than 8 months between fights. That is the case with IBF world champion Lamont Peterson. His last fight was in May of 2013 and his next fight is on January 25 at the DC Armory to be shown live on Showtime Boxing. It will be Peterson's 3rd fight in his last 4 that will be fought in his home town of Washington, DC.
According to Peterson, the layoff means, "Mentally I have to be strong and I can't stay out of the gym too long and I have been in the gym all along. I don't expect my timing to be off. I expect to be sharp….sharper than ever. I am focusing and I have been training hard and I'm ready". This long layoff was not by design. "I could have fought in September on the Mayweather card but I had a slight injury to my wrist so I could not take that fight so there goes the big layoff", recalls Peterson.
His opponent on the 25th is Dierry Jean, the IBF mandatory challenger to Peterson's belt. Jean is from Canada, by way of Haiti. Jean is not a house hold name in the sport but Peterson has watched him on tape and says, "I do watch film on the person that I am fighting. I try to pick up on things that they do well and try to counter act those things and I look at the things they don't do well and try to force their hand to the things they don't do well."
Trainer Barry Hunter can understand why the long layoffs don't affect Lamont like they might affect other fighters. "Timing is always an issue, but we train so hard and spar so hard, I don't expect any timing issues in this fight. I don't look for a lot of ring rust. The road that Lamont took in this sport to travel a long way without a promoter other than Head Bangers riding on his side, so I attribute his layoffs to the affect that he did not have a major promoter early on so he is used to some layoffs along the way". Hunter expects Jean to be a hungry fighter. "He is a good little fighter. He is not great in one thing but he is good in a lot of areas. He is kind of hungry. This is his first big shot. You got one fighter that wants to keep the title and one fighter that wants to take the title. This makes for an interesting fight." Please subscribe and keep up with the fights involving fighters from the DMV area.

Publisher's Note
With this issue—our 416th—we mark the end of an era. Last week Dick became managing editor of LIFE. He is succeeded by PEOPLE Executive Editor Patricia Ryan.
The thriving enterprise which Pat Ryan inherits owes much of its energy and health to its founding editor. A marathoner in fact (he has run the New York City Marathon three times) and in spirit (the pace and length of his days at PEOPLE set a daunting example), Dick Stolley took a germinal idea for a new magazine and made of it not only a great publishing success but also a new kind of journalism. Inspiring a youthful staff with his dedication, he managed to fashion a magazine with an exuberant voice and a fresh perspective on the way people live.
PEOPLE is not a solemn publication; it is, and is meant to be, entertaining. But Dick saw PEOPLE as something more than that; he wanted it to be informative, educational, touching. He once said the magazine should "bring ballet to businessmen, rock music to Mozart lovers, tales of ordinary people doing extraordinary things to the sophisticated and blasé." He brought to the magazine a deep sense of responsibility: to the reader, to story subjects, to the truth. In handling what he called "that most fragile of merchandise, the facts about another human being," he set a high and unswerving standard of fairness. In doing that, I believe, he set PEOPLE apart from others in this now crowded field.
For Dick, taking over at LIFE represents a homecoming. A journalist since he was 15 years old and sports editor at the Pekin, III. Daily Times, he joined the weekly LIFE as a reporter in 1953 and became, successively, a correspondent, bureau chief and, finally, assistant managing editor. LIFE is fortunate to have him back.
And PEOPLE is fortunate to have Pat Ryan to succeed him. The first woman appointed managing editor of a Time Inc. magazine in 27 years, Pat joined the company 22 years ago as a secretary at SPORTS ILLUSTRATED. While earning her degree in history from Columbia University, she rose eventually to the position of articles editor. This is her third promotion since coming to PEOPLE four years ago as a senior editor—a distinguished and sharply vertical career attributable to her acute story sense, flawless graphic and editorial tastes, and the same human sensitivity which Dick Stolley established as a hallmark of the magazine.
There has been another change on our masthead as well, this one on the business side. Richard B. Thomas, the Associate Publisher and the magazine's original Advertising Sales Director, has returned to TIME to become Associate Publisher and Worldwide Advertising Sales Director. Much of PEOPLE'S commercial success is traceable to Dick Thomas, for which we express our appreciation. His successor as Advertising Sales Director is William S. Myers, formerly of SPORTS ILLUSTRATED.
To the other two Richards, Stolley and Thomas, go my gratitude and very best wishes. To Pat Ryan and Bill Myers go our highest hopes and heartiest congratulations.

Arthur Morgan III was found guilty on April 3 in a New Jersey courtroom for the murder of his two-year-old daughter, Tierra Morgan-Glover, who the father tossed into a creek on Nov. 22, 2011 in Shark River Park in Monmouth County, N.J. while the baby girl was still strapped into her car seat.
The Huffington Post reported prosecutors as saying that, "he weighed down her pink car seat with a tire jack."
Morgan was supposed to return his daughter to her mom on Nov. 21, 2011 following a custody visit. Instead, he reportedly threw the innocent child to her drowning death to get back at Tierra's mother, who had just broken off wedding plans with Morgan.
When Tierra's body was recovered from the water, prosecutors said there was only "one tiny black and purple sneaker sticking out of the water."
The jury that convicted Morgan asked the judge yesterday if they could review portions of the video statement made by Morgan to police upon his capture. This is what the jury heard:
In the video, a detective asked Morgan if he said anything to his daughter before leaving her to die in the creek.
"I told her I loved her, and I gave her a kiss," Morgan replied.
"Did you say a prayer for her?" the detective asked.
"Every day," Morgan answered.
Morgan told police that Tierra wasn't dead when he left her in the water and drove away. He said he could hear her crying as he left.
In addition to being found guilty of Tierra's murder, Morgan was also found guilty of child endangerment and interference with custody.
He's scheduled for sentencing on May 28, when he could be sentenced to life in prison.

Ask the tax adviser
By George
Saenz Bankrate.com
Capital gains exclusion on the sale of a home
Dear Tax Talk:
I am a Realtor and have some clients thinking
about listing their home. The wife owned the home for two years
before selling it to her mother, who then sold it to her husband
a year ago. He is the only one on the deed because he got a VA loan.
The wife has lived there throughout these changes.
Will they get hit with capital gains taxes?
They will be purchasing a new home with the proceeds of this one.
Should I advise them to sell or stay put? Any advice would be extremely
Thank you,
Dear Dawn:
It's a shame they didn't use you as a Realtor for each sale. I guess
they ran out of occupants to sell it to and they don't want to break
the habit. Assuming you and they are willing to accept selling it
to someone who is not an occupant, you may still get a tax break.
I'm assuming that the husband in this situation is
the husband of the wife, not of the mother, because you didn't refer
to him as the wife's father.
You can qualify for the $250,000 exclusion on the
sale of your home if you owned and lived in it as your principal
residence for two of the last five years.
Since the husband and wife are one for this purpose,
they qualify for the exclusion of $250,000. The exclusion rises
to $500,000 for a married couple if:
1. A joint return is
2. Either spouse meets the ownership
requirement of two years in the last five (you didn't specify
when the wife owned the property),
3. Both spouses meet the two-year
use rule, and
4. Neither spouse sold a separate
house in the last two years and claimed exclusion.
1. A joint return is
2. Either spouse meets the ownership
requirement of two years in the last five (you didn't specify
when the wife owned the property),
3. Both spouses meet the two-year
use rule, and
4. Neither spouse sold a separate
house in the last two years and claimed exclusion.
If the conditions are satisfied, they can claim the
higher exclusion for a married couple.
Good luck to you.

A sinkhole has swallowed up some vintage and classic Corvettes at Kentucky's National Corvette Museum. One minute they were there and the next minute a gigantic hole sucked eight classic Corvette cars into the bowels of the Earth.
According to CNN News on Feb. 13, out of the eight cars that met their demise in the sinkhole, six were donated by people who love the Corvette car. The 40-foot-wide, 20-foot-deep sinkhole made the Chevrolet Corvettes look like Matchbox cars because the sinkhole was so big, said spokesperson for the Corvette Museum, Katie Frassinelli.
The official estimate on the loss of the cars is not done yet, but the museum believes this sinkhole caused millions of dollars' worth of damage to the building and the cars combined.
The hole opened up under the museum's yellow Sky Dome wing and it took some of the coolest cars on Earth with it. Motion detectors in the museum gave the first warning that something wasn't right.
Drones were used to explore the sinkhole, as engineers from nearby Western Kentucky University mapped out the area of the sinkhole. What they found was a cave down there under the museum.
That would stand to reason since the Corvette Museum was just a stone's throw away from Mammoth Cave National Park.
Here is a list of the classic cars that went down with the sinkhole:
* 1962 "Black Corvette"
* 1984 PPG pace car
* 2009 ZR1 "Blue Devil"
* 1992 white "1 Millionth Corvette"
* 1993 ruby red "40th Anniversary Corvette"
* 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 Corvette
* 2009 white "1.5 Millionth Corvette"
* 1993 ZR-1 Spyder

Tonight's episode of "Cake Boss" was titled "Icing the Cake." As the episode begins, Buddy is in a hockey rink and meets with Canadian sportscaster James Duthie. He wants Buddy to make a cake for the NHL draft. Buddy and his crew got a chance to do a one-timer on the ice, where they pass you the puck, and you must shoot it in the goal in the one shot. James told Danny he looked like a young Wayne Gretzky; then he explained young as a year and a half, before he learned how to skate. He also asked Buddy to make a cake for his partner, a prankster named Darren Drager, also a Canadian sportscaster, who gets over on everyone all the time. He will take James' phone and change the language to Russian and all kinds of things to drive his friends crazy. The day of the draft is also Darren's birthday and James knows that Buddy is a big prankster and hopes he can help get over on Darren. Buddy is up for the challenge.
In the bakery, they are busy working on the hockey cake, and a woman comes to visit Buddy. Her name is Jill, and she wants Buddy to duplicate her parents' wedding cake that her grandfather made. He was a master baker and from the pictures, on the same level as Buddy. She has detailed photos of the cake, ones with him making it too. He made designs called hanging sugar, that Buddy knows he can do, but it is so delicate; it must be made on-site where the cake will be displayed. She has been to several bakeries, and nobody will even consider doing it.
Mary, Buddy's mother is back from Israel and looking well. She has had her first round of the stem-cell treatment. Her legs are more stable now, and she is determined to take as many treatments as necessary. This is experimental, and not available in the United States, so it may take more time to see if it works.
The hockey cake is coming along and looking like a goalie. The prank cake needs to be tested, so Matt, the newest worker in the shop, aka the Guinea pig, is given a cake to celebrate his good job; however, it is the prank cake, and it shoots whipped cream right in his face. At least they know it will work on Darren.
Because Buddy had to take the cake to the NHL draft, Mauro went to the venue for the 50th wedding cake. The couple were astounded by the detail work, and how much it resembled the original. They were brought to tears at the thoughtfulness of their daughter and having Mauro there was extra special.
As Buddy and the crew put the finishing touches on the goalie cake, it was tremendous. The attention to detail was overwhelming. When they were ready to bring it in, the lift gate on the truck was not working. So brute strength was needed, and thank goodness they had it, as they lifted the cake together.
When James introduced Buddy and the awesome cake, he brought in and everyone got to eat cake. Buddy was delighted to know that his mentor on the ice for the one-timers was chosen first in the draft. Congratulations, Nathan McKinnon, you will always have a friend in Buddy.
After the draft was completed, They brought the cake to wish Darren a happy birthday. When he got hit in the face, he was shocked and knew he got what he long deserved, and the two friends had a good laugh on this episode of "Cake Boss."

She can't eat anything until afterward. (You know, the whole keeping her from aspirating under sedation thing.)
And, as much as she hated feeding times in the first two weeks we had her, girlfriend loves her food now.
Please pray that she'll handle it well. And pray that the pictures help us know how to proceed in caring for her.
And if you'd like a bit o' encouragement (or to glimpse some vintage Dingle family pictures*), here's a post about parenting and trusting God that I wrote back in 2009 when Robbie had to be sedated for an MRI: not understanding the circumstances
*Okay, okay, the pictures aren't old enough to be vintage, but when I can see such huge differences in the big kids between then and now, it feels like they're that old!
If you're curious about the procedure for little ones, here's the post I did about that back then: Robbie's MRI
Finally, some pictures that are definitely not vintage, taken in our yard the other day during an impromptu shoot while the big kids went to the store with Daddy!

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED The Bistro Restaurant Review: Once known as the most authentic French place in Cincinnati with chef Jean-Robert de Cavel at the helm, this bistro has changed its name, chef and menu---and its identity continues to evolve. The restaurant prides itself on a farm-to-table philosophy and the kitchen offers what could be considered a more casual, French bistro-style experience. Start with French onion soup (with caramelized onions, sherry reduction and Swiss) or salads composed with local greens. Entrées range from coffee-rubbed duck breast to coal-roasted New York strip with a side of duck-fat fries. The lunch menu boasts a bistro burger. Whatever you decide, end the meal with chocolate mousse, a bistro butter tart or cheese plate. You can choose from dozens of wines and even get some for half price on Sunday wine nights.

In the next four years the business grew, and so did Thomas's family. In 2000, she managed the construction of a home office from her hospital bed, where she was in preterm labor with her twin sons, Emerson and Nolan, a "gift" from Tiffany Bates, a donor whom Thomas had recruited to X and Y the year before. By this time, she was experienced at brokering relationships between donors and clients, and well understood the pitfalls. "Everyone in this business faces legal situations," Thomas says. "Your clients may have spent thousands of dollars vetting a donor, and then the donor says, 'Gee, my boyfriend doesn't like this.' I have had to learn how to negotiate those situations over the years."
Also in 2000, Thomas decided to go national. She took her business to the Web (eggdonorsnow.com), where she posts photos of donors alongside lists of their talents and interests — a sort of match.com for the childless. "I'd get the fallout from these fly-by-night operations that were started by donors who thought, this looks like an easy way to make money," Thomas says. "My resolve was to be as good and ethical and knowledgeable about my business as anyone can be." She says her biggest challenge was charging for her services: "It probably sounds odd, but I knew from a recipient's perspective how unbearably expensive the whole process was. My goal wasn't to create another barrier for anyone."
Then, in 2002, she attended a conference on reproductive technology and heard for the first time about a theoretical method called cryopreservation. Embryos had been successfully frozen since 1986; this would extend the technology to freezing donor eggs, which would make the need to synchronize cycles obsolete. Instead of flying donors around the country to meet a recipient for egg retrieval, Thomas would only need to ship the eggs, dramatically reducing costs. "I knew it would be the future of the industry," she says.
Helping Other Women
The following year, Jeffrey Boldt, PhD, scientific director for assisted fertility services at the Community Health Network in Indianapolis, published a research paper in which he demonstrated a 46 percent pregnancy success rate using cryopreservation. Thomas and Akin, from the Bluegrass Fertility Center, met with Boldt to discuss starting a commercial egg bank, and the trio formed CEI. They enlisted six physicians to invest; Thomas, who owns 60 percent of the business, contributed $60,000.Akin would act as medical director, and Boldt would supervise the lab as scientific director.
For the first frozen-egg retrieval, Thomas boarded a plane with 15 recruits and met Akin at the lab in Lexington. "I felt like a den mother," says Thomas, who regularly traveled with her young donors (now chaperones go in her place). "They were all in their twenties and on hormones. They acted like 16-year-olds, I'm afraid, but it was a lot of fun." The experience convinced her that frozen-egg banks would soon become as ubiquitous as their sperm counterparts. Now she is aiming to become a leader in the global egg bank market; already 85 percent of CEI's inventory is sent to Europe.
But as CEI came together, Thomas's marriage fell apart. She and Best legally separated in 2005, and their divorce became official in 2007. Thomas attributes the split, in large part, to their protracted experience with infertility. "Having children became both a mutual goal and a consuming focus in our lives," she says of the 10-year stretch. "Once we completed our family, we realized that without a joint goal to focus on, we had little in common." Best declined to comment for this story.
Today, with the boys ensconced in their routines (August is now 12 and the twins are 8), Thomas says she couldn't be happier. "I love being an older mother," she says. "And it's rewarding to know that I have cut the learning curve in half for others like me who have had to figure out how to have a baby when our biology says it's too late."

Ice cream? Really, during the winter? Shame on you for being prejudiced! Ice cream can and should be enjoyed year round. :) Besides, eating ice cream in the winter is a bulletproof excuse to snuggle up in your sweetheart's arms.
Goosebumps, puppy dog eyes, and a promise to share is always a win! I lived most of my life in Alaska and trust me, the blistering cold doesn't slow the locals down from enjoying ice cream. Been there, done that.
So, go ahead, get that parka on, slip on those mukluks, adorn that head of yours with that hat Great Grandma knitted for you (you know the one with pompoms on it) and get busy making this recipe!
yields 1 quart
Recipe sounds lovely, and so are your photography skills. So I will have to try this once I replenish my cashew supply. Thanks Amie Sue.
ooohh yeahhh!!!
I have to tell you that this recipe was absolutely delicious. It was as good as it looked. It was so creamy and tasty. It could pass for Haagen daz for those who are unaware of how the recipe was put together. My husband and I love it. Thank you so much!
Amie-Sue, how delicious this is! I just got done making this, the ice cream is in the freezer now. I did use my regular blender since I have yet to get a high speed one, I had to make small batches, I did get it creamy, but I now see a difference a high speed blender could make. :) Still a great recipe. I was a little confused about adding the balsamic vinegar and then it was repeated add vinegar in a subsequent step, so I just added half of the first mixture when it said vinegar. Can't wait till it's done!

According to Fox News on Sunday, "Expendables 3" and "Star Wars 7's" Harrison Ford not only suffered an ankle injury at the entry door to the Millennium Falcon, but also a pelvis injury. Broken bones aren't uncommon when it comes to arduous activities in regards to filming certain action sequences, and Ford is not immune. Hopefully the force will be strong with the 71-year old Ford as he also under goes a chest x-ray which is likely the standard operating procedure for senior citizens.
Wife Callista Flockheart flew out to the location in England where the film was being shot at a British Pinewoods Studios location. Though some sources may have reported her flying out to the location gave a feeling of it being an emergency situation, it wasn't necessarily the case as Flockheart had planned on going out to see Ford anyhow.
Shooting of J.J. Abrams epic continuous George Lucas saga started shooting in the desert of Abu Dhabi and then further reached the Pinewood Studios in the UK. It seems that there is some form of realism that is to mirror the original "Star Wars" movies as filmed by Lucas and Abrams gave such a demonstration or inference in his UNICEF public service announcement. He was promoting a contest that allowed for an opportunity to fly a winner out to the set of "Star Wars" to actually be in make-up and costume. The contest hopeful will get a chance to actually be in the movie.
During the middle of the promotion, a sample tidbit of the film made its presence in what appeared to be an alien creature walking into the background carrying a cage of what could have been fauna of the region. This was a hint of how there will be more physical effects than CGI imagery. Such effects that would be synonymous of the original "Star Wars" trilogy.
"Star Wars 7" is to open in theaters come Dec. 18, 2015.

Women's and Gender Studies
B.A., DePaul University; M.A., Ph.D., University of California (Los Angeles)
Assistant Professor of Women's and Gender Studies
I am an Assistant Professor of Women's and Gender Studies at Wellesley College where I teach courses on gender, sexuality, migration, globalization, and technology.
Before arriving at Wellesley College, I was an External Faculty Fellow at Rice University and a member of the Humanities Research Center's inaugural Seminar, Human Trafficking Past and Present: Crossing Borders, Crossing Disciplines. I was also a postdoctoral researcher at USC's Annenberg Center on Communication & Leadership Policy, a Visiting Scholar in the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program at Northeastern University, and a Fulbright scholar affiliated with Utrecht University in the Netherlands.
In 2011, I received my PhD from UCLA's Department of Gender Studies and my BA and advanced graduate training have all taken place in the dynamically interdisciplinary fields of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.
My research broadly focuses on the laws, policies, and technologies designed to respond to prostitution, human trafficking, and forced labor in the United States, with particular focus on the empirical and sociolegal effects of these interventions on individuals and communities deemed "at risk."
My first book, To Control and Protect: Anti-Trafficking Rescue Politics in the United States (under contract, University of California Press) is an ethnographic examination of human and sex trafficking in the United States. This work explores the collaborative alliances that have been forged between state and non-state actors and suggests that anti-trafficking interventions targeted at sex-trade involved adults and youth in the United States have underwritten the expansion of the criminal justice system and fueled the growth of the carceral state more generally.
My other project examines the intersections of human trafficking, technology, and surveillance. Here I focus on how law enforcement and technology innovators are seeking to leverage technology to disrupt trafficking through big data and other networked, algorithmic, and mobile technology innovations. This research highlights the tensions and complexities surrounding technologically-mediated anti-trafficking interventions, including questions about the collection of digital evidence, expectations of privacy, anticipatory and predictive models of protection and intervention, and the rise of collective computational activism to address gender, sexual, and social justice issues.
I have lectured widely on these topics and my published work has appeared in academic journals such as Social Politics, Dialectical Anthropology, and Women's Studies International Forum.

It's The Little Things
Wednesday, May 15, 2013
Ok, I know it - we all know it - we hear it every day and it just doesn't sink in - portion control and pushing yourself the extra mile - the little things will add up or in the war on weight they will subtract. So the last few days not because I really planned it but because my day was so packed with activities I practiced portion control - real portion control. Breakfast, lunch and dinner yesterday and today for some unplanned, miraculous reason were just the tiny, little portions they were supposed to be. Portions that I scoff at and eat two sometimes three of because anyone would be out of their mind to make a meal of something that fits in the palm of your hand! Got on the scale and I was 1 1/2 pounds lighter. Woke up starving!!!! but I was not emancipated~so I doubt that I can do that every day - I know I can't but maybe once or twice a week - baby steps - and it will begin to mean something. Next thing is going the extra mile - I was trapped behind my desk for two day - I spent 4 hours driving last night and 3 hours watching a Phillie game (at the ballpark - and no junk food) but also no exercise so tonight I decide to go for a long walk. I hate to run - I was the only kid in my neighborhood who would not play tag! I hated to run as a kid - in fact I am not sure I even know how to run. My husband loves it - 5 to 6 days a week and then he bikes up to 100 miles in a day and does spin class at least one night a week. I hate them both but for some unfathomed reason tonight when I started my walk I decided to try and run - quite frankly I think it was more of a really bouncy walk - I don't think I looked anything like those people I see on TV doing the marathons and I know I looked nothing like my husband but none the less I did try - walk and then run a block, walk a lot more and run a block - all in all I bouncy walked or whatever 4 1/2 blocks - know I won't do it tomorrow but maybe if I can get out of bed and walk tomorrow I will try it again maybe 1 or 2 times a week - just to see if it can really make a difference. Definitely a different way of doing things the last couple of days maybe the scales will reciprocate and started doing something different also - like GOING DOWN!

Secrets of Success
Friday, April 19, 2013...wow, does Spring ever need a haircut..
Friday, April 19, 2013
Sun is out, breeze moving the wax leaf myrtles in the frenzy of an aerobic exercise class and guineas chattering alarm. Dr. Jeffers and Jeramiah preach from Mom's kitchen and I am at a lull...a shortened one, now...lol. I just got a call from a lady wishing to purchase young ewes to start her flock....so I will be counting sheep today to see what I have to sell. Mom stood in the doorway and is excited about the prospect of decreasing the flock...we are both a bit weary from feeding babies...but it is a good weariness.
I am eager for the warmth to increase though the north wind offsets that. Regardless, I will mow the yard, put lambs in the guinea pen, clean the greenhouse and get that barn in order...an ongoing task...that's how I always know I am alive as there is always stuff that needs doing.
Breakfast was a couple of small flour tortillas, mayo and a couple of ounces of ham...two cups of coffee...sipped at liesure after the mad dash to feed everybody. I am looking at a container of fruit salad for a snack later on....working towards healthier food through the day...time to bundle up and get movin.

Whew, y'all are always so busy, makes me feel lazy! ;)
Decreasing the flock sounds good. I'm sure you both could use fewer mouths to feed.
I'm eager for the warmth to increase, too!! Where's my lovely spring? Even if it usually only lasts a few weeks in Texas, before the summer gets here. I always enjoy it. Sigh.

I have been bargaining with myself since about 1:30pm after I mowed the front yard...mostly...ran out of gasoline which means I have to get presentable to go get more full containers...so, I fed lambs and moved them to the guinea pen and headed to the barn to clean stalls and portion out feed. I got the stalls clean and bedded and even let the old ram out to exercise. I put up enough feed for 10 days and need to fetch another bucket of grain before I can put up the full two weeks worth. Meanwhile the old ram is far too rambunctious. None of the girls were out so I think he thought it necessary to boss me around...rather irritating. I just walked in his pen and when he followed me in trying to push me around I politely stepped out and shut him back in....I suspect he has Spring fever and is feeling a bit frustrated...such is life. Anyway...I kept telling myself that after doing such and such then I would take a break...so I came to the house where Mom was sitting under her old hair dryer and the poodle demanded some food and to go out....now I am free to take a break and cat nap for a couple of hours. The 2 cups of fruit salad did make a good snack over the morning and afternoon....along with some microwave popcorn....just sleepy now.

What Really Goes On Behind the Curtain When a Former Opera Singer Takes the Stage — as a Castle Concert Organizer? Enchanted Evenings By Elizabeth Haas The connection between setting and repertoire can be powerful: La Traviata at the amphitheater in Verona. Tosca lakeside at Bregenz. Don Giovanni at Průhonice Zámek? Indeed, the recent gala opera concert at Průhonice's medieval castle complex, a stone's toss from Prague, joins the Continental…

It takes a peculiar sense of humor to build a music pavilion above a row of tannery shops. The tanners, at work dyeing leather with some of the most acrid substances known to man, might have welcomed the sweet music floating down from the castle. But the same cannot be said of the gentry savoring those sweet minuets and sarabandes on the cliff above them. They must have had a…

We're the only company in Zemplín taking care of you since 1978. Our experience and your desires taught us that only a satisfied customer can make a good reputation.
Hotel Granit Zemplínska Šírava is located in the center of the Zemplínska Šírava recreational area, 13km from the town of Michalovce. The water reservoir provides suitable conditions for year-round recreation.
In the recreational complex of the convalescence house and hotel you can enjoy the tennis and volleyball courts, mini-golf, indoor swimming pool, fitness, sauna, hydrotherapy, and electrotherapy.
The beach and dock in the complex provide services from 1 June till 30 September. The summer and winter tourism are enriched by trips to the cultural-historical and natural wonders of the entire Zemplín Region using a tourist car.
The artificial Zemplínska Šírava Reservoir (often called "the Slovak sea") was built in 1961-1966. The reservoir's total area is 33km², the average water depth is 8m, the maximum depth 14m. It's situated under the Vihorlat's slopes (1076m above sea level). Thanks to its geographical location, this water area has unique climatic conditions - the highest number of sunny days per year in Slovakia was recorded here.
The administration of the recreational centers is ensured by three municipalities - Vinné (the Biela Hora, Hôrka, and Medvedia Hora-West centers), Kaluža (Medvedia Hora-East, Kaluža, and Kamenec), and Klokočov (Klokočov, Paľkov). The eastern part of Zemplínska Šírava is a protected ornithological reserve. Nearly a hundred species of water birds live here, out of which many are rare or endangered.
Zemplínska Šírava belongs among the most important summer recreation centers in Slovakia. The Dolný Zemplín Region is one of the hottest areas in the country. Zemplínska Šírava has favorable conditions for the development and operation of water sports (water scooter, motorboat, yacht, water skiing, boating, paddling, windsurfing, swimming).
The developed infrastructure, number of accommodation facilities (hotels, pensions, cottage dwellings, camps, private accommodation), catering facilities, entertainment centers, shops, and services, predestine Zemplínska Šírava to become one of the most popular holiday destinations in Slovakia and Central Europe. Besides the activities associated with water, Zemplínska Šírava offers a dense network of hiking and cycling trails, horse riding, sight-seeing, museums, and cultural and social events. The Tokaj Wine Road is nearby.
In winter, the reservoir freezes, creating a beautiful ice rink. The surroundings offer sledding, cross-country skiing, and skating on the frozen surface of the reservoir. The wide range of activities guarantees that you won't be bored during your stay at Zemplínska Šírava.

Grenada Restaurants & reviews
Where to find the best restaurants on the island reviewed by our expert from the Travellers Guide Grenada. Dining to suit every taste and budget. By day informal attire is acceptable, but at night a more formal dress code is required. It is also recommended that dinner reservations be made in advance, especially during the winter.
Carenage, St. George's, Map
Both locals and tourists seem to love this restaurant at Revo's with pretty harbour views. Lunch time favourites are the fish and chicken roti. The dinner buffet on Wednesday and Saturday nights is legendary. It includes more than 30 dishes, often including conch, grilled lobster, oildown. The menus are something of a bargain. There's live music for entertainment on Fridays & Saturdays ... More
Why does seafood taste so good on the west coast?
– Our cold, clean and salty sea is home to world-class fish and shellfish. This is because everything grows slower and gets a better taste and quality. The proximity to the sea is also what makes it so natural to enjoy shrimps here in its right environment. The large selection also makes it possible to pick the top-products from an already fine range of primary products.
At many Grenada restaurants, the chefs as far as possible choose ingredients of the highest quality, locally produced and organically grown. And they do that to create the perfect dining experience.
Our selection of fine modern restaurants with their base in the Grenadian cooking tradition. For example, they serve the traditional and rustic Grenadian national dish called oildown. But updated and together with influences from all over the world.

Those who love lemon meringue pie are always on the lookout for new recipes. Look no further – this is absolutely the best lemon meringue pie recipe ever – hands down! A pie is always a combination of all of its parts, but for lemon meringue pie the filling is key. This recipe makes the best filling; it's so luscious and creamy. The rest comes together to make a simply delicious pie.
For some reason making a cream pie or meringue pie seems a little daunting. Recipes for meringue pies seem to run a little long and call for cooking the filling to a certain consistency, adding a little cooked filling to the egg yolks prior to combining the yolks with the rest of the ingredients – it makes it seem more complex than it is. Once you get used to the terminology and understand the necessity for adding cooked filling to the egg yolks, you won't flinch at making these wonderful pies. (Adding a little of the hot filling to the egg yolks warms them and allows them to be stirred smoothly into the hot mixture. If you didn't warm them first, they would have a tendency to curdle. This step is very common when making homemade puddings and pie fillings.)
The Best Lemon Meringue Pie Ever
Ingredients for the Best Lemon Meringue Pie:
- 9-inch pie shell, baked
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons flour
- Dash salt
- 1 ½ cups hot water
- 3 egg yolks, slightly beaten (save the whites for the meringue)
- ½ tsp. grated lemon peel
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup lemon juice (fresh is best)
- 3 egg whites
- ¼ tsp. cream of tartar
- ½ tsp. lemon juice
- 6 tablespoons sugar
Directions for making the Best Lemon Meringue Pie:
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, flour and salt. Blend in the hot water and bring to boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium; cook and stir continually for 8 minutes more. Remove from heat.
Stir a small amount of the hot mixture into the egg yolks, then dump the egg yolks into the rest of the hot mixture stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and cook and stir 4 minutes longer.
Remove from heat – add the grated lemon peel and butter. Stir until the butter is melted. Stir in the 1/3 cup lemon juice. Cool for 10 minutes. Pour the mixture into the baked pie shell and cool to room temperature. (It's important to make sure it's cooled to room temperature before adding the meringue, otherwise the meringue will shrink during the baking process.)
Meringue: Beat the egg whites with the crème of tartar and lemon juice until soft peaks form. Gradually add the 6 tablespoons sugar, beating until stiff peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Spread the meringue over the filling, making sure to spread it to the edges of the baked pie shell (this is referred to as "sealing" the pie). Bake at 350 degrees for 12 – 15 minutes or until the peak are golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature prior to serving.

According to a report today from VG 24/7, Microsoft is rumored to be poised to send out a significant system update for the Xbox One that would address issues with the user interface and Xbox Live with the next-gen console.
The speculation comes from a NeoGAF poster claiming to have inside knowledge of the situation, which was later confirmed separately by The Verge.
According to a report earlier this month from VG 24/7, Microsoft chief product officer Marc Whitten confirmed that the company had been receiving and addressing feedback from Xbox one users.
"The feedback we've gotten is pretty valid," Whitten said. "Some of the social stuff is hidden or harder to use than it was on the Xbox 360. So you're going to see us come out with an update where, well, we're going to fix those things."
Whitten said he took it to heart when Xbox One owners complained about the user interface in terms of difficulty getting into parties and the default settings not feeling right.
The supposed release of the system update comes as Microsoft starts a promotional campaign to get gamers to "ditch" the PS3 in favor of a $100 credit toward the Xbox One.

To try it out, you'll need to install one of Mozilla's nightly JS Engine Preview builds. The JaegerMonkey-equipped browser was made available Thursday. Keep in mind, this is pre-release software and should be used only for testing.
"We knew we needed another major upgrade for Firefox 4.0," says Mozilla's David Mandelin in a blog post about the release.

The Journey of Me thus far....
Thursday, January 03, 2013
Funny thing is I keep telling myself I'm going to blog more but it seems its one more goal I just don't do. Oh well, I've made bigger achievements this year so I'll let the less blogging thing slide for now. January 1 began year two of my journey, even though I'm stuck in the mid-140s I'm proud of myself. I finally found something I can stick to, me. Then again it is my life so I'm sorta stuck with it :) I like the sound of that...My Life. Which is a good way to put my lessons for this year.
This is my journey. No one else's though many people may play bit parts in multiple different scenarios. My life is what I make it, no one else. What I have accomplished in the past two years was all me, no one else. I had a crapload of cheerleaders in the form of friends here, in real life as well as my time at WW. But if I didn't get myself off my rump no one was going to. December 2010 I decided I was tired of being the fat girl or the one that wore the bigger clothes. I was tired of not being able to shop in the same sections as my best friends. I am the one that signed up for WW and did something about it. In five months I lost 12 lbs just by watching my portions and eatting healthier. In no time I lost another 13 when I finally started exercising. Course life does have its up and downs and so did my weight.
Here it is January 2013. From the 162 I weighed originally I have lost (and kept off) 16 lbs. Sure I gained some weight but 16 lbs hasn't gone back on yet. I call that a great thing. For 2013 I am making the promise to myself to never say Can't again. It is a four lettered word that is being erased from my vocabulary. I am also looking out for me. I need my few minutes to myself. Even though I have a huge commitment to help my parents concerning their health, I have to take time for me. I began that on the 1st. I take 15-20 mins every morning and evening just pampering myself. Whether its just putting on lotion, running the brush through my hair or putting some conditioner in my hair. Its simple and its me time. My routine is important because its all things that make me feel as beautiful on the outside as I do on the inside. Sometimes vice versa.
2013 is about making me happy. So far 2013 is feeling full of accomplishment. Already I've gotten all the household laundry done within a few days when it would take a week, no dishes in the sink and all clothes I've been meaning to mend are mended :)
My biggest lesson so far is that it isn't about the number you see on that scale. Its all about how you feel. I'm not talking about the 500 cal dessert that you think makes you feel awesome. But how you REALLY feel. For the past two days I've just felt so elated I've wanted to dance all around the house to music only I could hear. I probably would have if it wouldn't scare the dogs :)
Well for now be well everyone, my energy is starting to wane and I still have to accomplish my evening pampering. :)

I Signed What? Bonus Contracts May Surprise
Advisers who walk out of a brokerage without paying back a bonus may confront a legal hurdle they hadn't expected.
According to bonus contracts reviewed by Dow Jones and several securities lawyers, at least some advisers in recent years have waived their right to file counterclaims against their ex-employer in arbitration proceedings that involve unpaid bonuses.
This clause appears in at least some Morgan Stanley Smith Barney bonus contracts dating back as far as 2009, but it's unclear if it's standard language in the company's contracts. The clause hasn't attracted much attention, perhaps because it isn't prominent in the contract and because few brokers who signed it have moved to other firms at this point.
Under these contracts, if an adviser leaves the company without repaying a bonus, and the brokerage takes the adviser to arbitration to reclaim the money, the adviser can't respond with direct counterclaims unless it's simply a claim to prove that they did repay the bonus. Brokers who have other grievances would have to file claims in separate proceedings. Counterclaims, an important negotiating tool for brokers in bonus cases, can involve complaints about failed promises, like a promotion that didn't come through. They're often the type of grievance that wouldn't warrant filing a separate case, which typically involves more time and expense, lawyers say.
Quietly getting advisers to waive their counterclaim rights has other distinct advantages for a brokerage. Straightforward bonus cases can get fast-tracked by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the Wall Street self-policing watchdog that runs the securities industry's mandatory arbitration process. So if a brokerage can eliminate counterclaims, it's likely to recoup its money months sooner.
Dow Jones interviewed over half a dozen lawyers for this story, and nearly all of them said it's unusual for a brokerage to include a no-counterclaim clause in a bonus contract. However, a couple of them said it's not uncommon. David S. Rich, a New York-based employment and business litigation lawyer called the clause "one of a number of provisions in a promissory note contract that brokers don't give sufficient thought to" before entering the deal.
Further details, including a possible legal challenge to this type of contract, are available to Dow Jones subscribers at www.djnewsplus.com.

Get your daily dose of inspiration with the all new Inspirarions for Muslims! Download now
IslamicFinder.org is a web site, which provides very useful services to Muslims around the world. It provides prayer times for more than five million cities and towns around the world. That is virtually any town or city in the world no matter how small it is. Even though we found many sites that provide prayer times, islamicfinder.org covers far larger number of cities and towns, whereas other similar web sites provide prayer times for a very limited number of cities.
Impressively the site provides the most accurate prayer times on the net. Another interesting service, which was started by islamicfinder.org, is the Athan (Azan) program which allows the Athan to be heard five times a day at exactly the prayer times. In addition to the above-mentioned services, IslamicFinder has recently opened the Islamic photo gallery, which contains thousands of pictures and images of the Holy places such as Makkah, Madinah, and mosques around the world. We can summarize the services provided by the site as follows:
1. Prayer times and accurate Qiblah direction for more than 6 million cities, towns and villages all over the world along with their distance from Kaaba (Makkah), longitude, and latitude. The site helps us in determining our five times prayers with five different calculation methods and two juristic methods. It also shows us when and how many Raka\'s (units) to pray. It is also possible to have a full printed copy of the prayer times for a full year in two pages, which can be used anywhere in the world. You can also subscribe to get monthly prayer times through email.
2. Addresses of Mosques, Islamic organizations, and Muslim owned businesses all around the globe. The site provides detailed information about each organization, such as address, telephone numbers, direction, and activities.
3. The Islamic web directory, where you can find information about Islam, Quran, Hadith, Islamic History and Biography, Fiqh and Fatawa, Muslim Family, Education, etc.
4. The Athan (Azan) software, which helps you automatically hear the Athan (Azan) from your computer five times a day for each single prayer. The software is free of charge.
5. The annual calendar, which is available (in printable format) from 1421 to 1430 Hijri and 2000 to 2012 Gregorian forms. You can also convert Hijri date to Gregorian and Gregorian to Hijri.
6. The photo gallery is a collection of thousands of pictures and images of the holy places such as Makkah, Madinah, and mosques around the world in about 50 albums and more than 20 categories. It also offers Eid, Ramadan, and several other occasions' cards. Users can send all these photos, images, and Eid cards to others as E-cards, too. Users can use its slideshows as well.
islamicfinder.org really stands out among the best Islamic sites on the net. It is a very important service to all Muslims. For its impressive services, we award it five stars.

closed world instances, closed type families
Henning Thielemann <lemming <at> henning-thielemann.de>
Recently I needed to define a class with a restricted set of instances. After some failed attempts I looked into the DataKinds extension and in "Giving Haskell a Promotion" I found the example of a new kind Nat for type level peano numbers. However the interesting part of a complete case analysis on type level peano numbers was only sketched in section "8.4 Closed type families". Thus I tried again and finally found a solution that works with existing GHC extensions: data Zero data Succ n class Nat n where switch :: f Zero -> (forall m. Nat m => f (Succ m)) -> f n instance Nat Zero where switch x _ = x instance Nat n => Nat (Succ n) where switch _ x = x That's all. I do not need more methods in Nat, since I can express everything by the type case analysis provided by "switch". I can implement any method on Nat types using a newtype around the method which instantiates the f. E.g. newtype(Continue reading)

The most important night in the film industry is also one of the most important nights for fashion. Hollywood stars decked out in the most exclusive of couture fashion. From the dress, to the hair and makeup, to the jewelry , the total look is what grabs attention and makes a red carpet look.
In Pittsburgh on Oscar Night, (March 2) we had our own version of the Hollywood Red Carpet. Heinz Field Club Level East, welcomed guests complete with Paparazzi. Pittsburgh's fashionable braved storm "Titan" to support the Pittsburgh Film Office, and dazzle with their Oscar looks.
Upon entering the event, photos of guests were taken , complete with their own Oscar Statue. Gourmet food stations including General Tso Shrimp, Coq au Vin, and dessert bars, were throughout the venue with the Academy Awards live telecast on large screens.
Hundreds of auction items were displayed with bidding done on patron's phones. The best part of the night, people watching. Elaborate gowns, and some guests dressed liked Hollywood Celebrities.
The event is a main source of support for the film office, under the direction of Dawn Keezer.
