WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. –Seniors Nicole Willis and Virginia Fitch led the Pirates with six kills each as the East Carolina volleyball team was swept, 3-0 (16-25, 14-25,18-25) by host Wake Forest at the Deacon Invitational Friday night at Reynolds Gym.
Willis finished the match with six kills, five digs, two block assists and a service ace, while Fitch posted six kills, one block assist and hit .235 in the contest. Defensively, the Pirates were led by senior Shelby Beasley who notched eight digs in the match. Junior setter Zarah Cecich collected 25 assists, six digs, two block assists and one service ace in the setback.
The Pirates (0-1) came out strong in the first set as ECU stayed close with Wake Forest (1-0) and knotted the score on two occasions. The Demon Deacons, however, rattled off three consecutive points (14-7) forcing East Carolina head coach Julie Torbett to call a time out. The break in action helped as the Pirates composed themselves and tallied two points on a kill from Willis followed by a Demon Deacon miscue. ECU was able to pull within three (17-14) after a kill by Whitney Campbell followed by a pair of Wake Forest attack errors, but that would be as close at the Pirates would come as the hosts would close the game on an 8-2 run to take the first set 25-16.
The Demon Deacons jumped out to a quick 5-0 advantage in the second set and extended their lead to seven (10-3) as ECU called for a time out. Wake Forest led throughout the entire second frame as the Deacons held the Pirates to a mere .037 hitting percentage. Wake hit. 500 in the set and knocked down a total of 14 kills, while limiting ECU to just seven. The Demon Deacons led by double digits four times during the set and eventually claimed the game by a score of 25-14.
In the third set, ECU managed to tie the game on two occasions, but a kill by Wake Forest's Ashlee Rusk broke a 2-2 tie and the Demon Deacons pushed their lead to as many as 11 points (24-13) in the frame. Despite falling behind, the Pirates would not go quietly as they tallied five straight points prompting Wake Forest to call for a break in action. Although ECU dropped the third and final set, 25-18, the Pirates managed to close the frame on a 5-1 run.
East Carolina finished the match with 26 total kills, 27 digs, 25 assists, four service aces and 6.0 total team blocks. Wake Forest concluded the contest with 39 kills, 40 digs, 37 assists, seven service aces, 9.0 total team blocks, and recorded a hitting percentage of .346.
Wake Forest was led by Kylie Hargraves who recorded a double-double with 10 kilvls and 13 digs. She hit .526 in the contest and added three block assists, one assist and one service ace. Kristin Grissom registered a match-high 12 kills and hit .476 with one dig and three total blocks. Sophia Dodd tallied 34 assists to go along with six digs, three kills on six attempts for a .500 hitting percentage, two block assists and a pair of aces.
ECU will look to collect its first win of the season Saturday, August 31 when it goes up against UNC Greensboro at 10 a.m. and East Tennessee State at 4:30 p.m.

Flappy Bird, the viral video game sensation that occupies the top free app spot in Apple's App Store and the Google Play Store, reached Windows Phone on Thursday. The problem is that it seems to be an unauthorized clone.
The publisher of the Windows Phone version is listed as IG Mobile. However, the official version was created by Vietnam-based developer Dong Nguyen, and is currently available only on iOS and Android devices.
In addition, on Friday, Nguyen tweeted:
I would like to sorry WP users for the late of WP build. I am trying hard to make it happen.
Thus, it's pretty certain that the Windows Phone Flappy Bird is a faux version.
That being said it currently has over 3,000 reviews and a 4.5 star (out of five) rating.
The game reportedly took Nguyen just two or three days to write, and is now taking in about $50,000 a day in advertising revenue (the app is ad-supported and there is no in-app purchase to eliminate the ads).
Despite its 50 million plus download figure, the game is hardly complex. That being said, it's really difficult.
While you shouldn't expect great graphics, you should expect frustration. You tap the screen to move a tiny, awkwardly represented yellow bird through gaps between pipes. Navigate safely through the obstacles and all is well. Make a mistake and touch a pipe, and Flappy Bird ends up nosediving into the group after a loud smack.

I'm writing a program (for Mac OS X, using Objective-C) and I need to create a bunch of .webloc files programmatically.
The .webloc file is simply file which is created after you drag-n-drop an URL from Safari's location bar to some folder.
Generally speaking, I need an approach to create items in a filesystem which point to some location in the Web. As I understand .webloc files should be used for this on Mac OS X.
So, is it possible to craft a .webloc file having a valid url and some title for it?

Dear Friends,
I received some inquiries recently regarding John Carr, who serves as the Executive Director of the Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development at the United States Catholic Bishops' Conference. The inquiries, stemming from controversies over the Catholic Campaign for Human Development and the Center for Community Change, essentially asked if John is pro-life and committed to the goal of securing protection for the lives of unborn children.
Because I am in a position to answer that question, and because of the fact that hurting people's reputations never serves our cause, let me state for the record that the answer to that question is "Yes."
I have had many opportunities to talk to and listen to John over the years, in public and in private, to read his articles, and to discuss our common goal of seeing social justice and peace applied to our neighbors in the womb. His record is clear, and unlike some others, when he talks about justice and peace and human development, he does not fail to include the unborn.
I share with you below his own comments, as well as those of Richard Doerflinger, the Associate Director of the Secretariat for Pro-life Activities of the US Bishops' Conference. As we work together to resolve the problems that do exist in our Church and in our culture, let's do so with great caution to preserve the good reputation to which all of our colleagues have a right.
Fr. Frank Pavone
From John Carr:
My experience with CCC was that it focused on poverty, housing and immigration and had no involvement in issues involving abortion and homosexuality.
When I served, the board never discussed or acted on any position involving these matters and if they had, I would have vigorously opposed any advocacy for access to abortion or gay marriage.
I have spent my personal and professional life defending human life and dignity and Catholic teaching, including current efforts to keep abortion funding out of health care reform. I regret that once again the failure to contact me or CCHD has led to unfair allegations in attempts to undermine the essential work of the Catholic Campaign for Human Development.
From Richard Doerflinger:
The facts behind the allegations about John Carr are simple enough: He was once on the board of an anti-poverty organization that did good work for providing food and housing and promoting rights for immigrants; long after he left the board, the group got into advocacy for abortion and gay rights agendas(which he would have strongly opposed if he had still been on the board). To turn this into a charge against John Carr is ridiculous.
But that is to understate the matter. I have worked with John on health care and abortion issues for two decades at the Catholic bishops' conference. He has staunchly defended and promoted the Church's teaching on the right to life of the unborn throughout this time — and often in secular liberal forums where it makes him many enemies and loses him many friends. His dedicated work on the health care reform issue is a major reason why the bishops' advocacy for the pro-life amendment to the House health care bill was so successful.

Under a bright Hawaiian sun, a group of girls ages 11 to 18 planted a special vegetable garden that will not only teach others about ecosystems but will also help endangered sea turtles. The project is inspired by First Lady Michelle Obama's Lets Move! campaign and the USDA People's Garden Initiative. The girls, who attend the same church in Mililani, Hawaii, needed a community service project. Sea Life Park on Oahu had land and a seed of an idea to plant a garden.

As anybody who reads this site is hopefully all-too-well aware of by now, Katy Perry is on the verge of one of the great statistical accomplishments in Billboard history—a half-dozen #1 singles off the same album (Teenage Dream), if she can just get sixth single "The One That Got Away" over the hump. Last week, "The One" jumped from #9 to #4 on the charts, buoyed by slashing of the single prices on iTunes to well under a dollar, a maneuver that helped her get fifth single "Last Friday Night" to pole position over the summer. Now, she's also repeated the "Last Friday Night" move of releasing a remix of the song featuring a famous guest rapper—in this case, Atlanta hitmaker B.o.B.
So how has her mechanizing served the song this week? Well, not fantastically so far—"The One" slipped from 4 to 5 on the charts this week, switching places with Flo Rida's "Good Feeling." The song continues to climb in airplay, moving from 6-5 on Radio Songs this week, but treads water in download sales, holding at #6 on the Digital Songs chart. Sales of the B.o.B. remix will help with that next week, as the remix version of the song is currently at #40 on the iTunes charts—about the same level of boost Katy got from the Missy Elliott "Last Friday Night" to get it to #1 but that was when Katy's original version of "Friday" was still at #2 on iTunes. Right now, Katy's original "One" has slipped to #7 on the iTunes charts, after making it as high as #4.
This is all a convoluted way of saying that, based on the evidence thusfar, Katy probably doesn't have enough momentum to make the leap to #1 next week—especially with "We Found Love" and "Sexy And I Know It" holding strong in the top two—which would probably be her best chance of getting it at all. But that's not to say we can close the book on that sixth #1 yet—the upcoming holiday season has a tendency to throw everything out of whack, and Katy and her EMI label have shown enough of a willingness to get creative in their stat-juking that they may have some tricks still left up their sleeves. And anyway, there's no promise that six will be the magic number for Teenage Dream—they still have "Hummingbird Heartbeat" laying there as a potential seventh single, which sounds like more of a hit to us than "The One That Got Away" ever did, anyway.
We'll have to stay posted, but for now, it seems like Katy's ultimate Christmas gift might have to wait until at least New Year's.

Whether you're smooching a baby or making out with your spouse, locking lips promotes intimacy and boosts bonding. Dawn Maslar, a biology professor and award-winning author sums it up like this: "When we kiss, both men and women produce the hormone oxytocin. It's often called the 'love hormone' because it causes us (particularly females) to bond." The fact is, we kiss the ones we love, and love the ones we kiss!
Frequent sex can enhance everything from heart health to your self-esteem, and there's no better primer for sex than kissing! As Carol Queen, the staff sexologist at Good Vibrations, points out, "Kissing is a powerful type of foreplay... it helps increase the chances that both partners will have a good and pleasurable erotic experience."
It may sound counterintuitive, but swapping spit is a great way to fend off viruses — especially if all that kissing leads to sex. Research from the journal Medical Hypotheses indicates that women build up immunity against the cytomegalovirus by kissing infected partners. Another study performed at Wilkes University found that study participants who had sex once or twice a week had higher levels of the infection-fighting antibody immunoglobulin A. So if you want to make it through cold season unscathed, it's time to pucker up!
Seriously. It's not just that frequent kissers may have stronger marriages (which is great for mental and emotional health), but kissing can actually help you choose the right partner. When you kiss someone, your body is subconsciously sharing information about your respective immune systems. The technical term is major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Biologically, it's important for partners to bring different immune system genes to the table so that their offspring will have a better opportunity for survival. So if kissing your crush immediately douses the flames of love, you might be able to chalk it up to biological incompatibility.
Kissing releases endorphins, and to quote Elle Woods from Legally Blond, "Endorphins make you happy." Since depression affects an estimated 17.5 million Americans and costs approximately $30 billion each year, why not give yourself a free happiness boost with a little smooching?
During a heated, heart-racing kind of kiss, your body releases adrenaline, which can actually reduce feelings of pain. Pair that with the similarly pain-reducing endorphins that are released during physical intimacy, and locking lips gives you a double whammy for fighting that nagging headache.
How often do you feel frazzled and exhausted at the end of the day? Blame it on your body's natural response to stress: cortisol. Dr. Sharon Stills, naturopathic physician and upcoming author of R.E.D. Alert — Get Real and Heal, points out that "kissing lowers cortisol levels. Cortisol is our stress hormone and it has a negative effect on our immune system, endocrine system and brain health, specifically the hippocampus." So if you can lower stress and reduce those negative effects by simply stealing a kiss with your spouse, do it as often as you can!
Sure, kissing may not burn as many calories as, say, running a mile, but it does pump up your metabolism to about twice its usual rate. Most people burn about 1 calorie a minute at rest, but according to Dr. Stills, kissing burns about 2 to 3 calories per minute. You won't want to skip Zumba in favor of a makeout session, but next time you're lounging around on the couch with your spouse, turn up the heat with some calorie-boosting kisses.
Kissing doesn't just burn calories — it's a workout for your face. If you fear your jowls are starting to sag, try tightening things up with some regular, vigorous kissing. It's the perfect non-surgical prescription to enhance your youthful appearance: safe, free and fun!
Speaking of fun, kissing is a blast! According to Gina Cloud, women's health advocate and creator of GinaCology, "There are more than 30 kinds of kisses in the Kama Sutra. Kissing is such an important way of expressing ourselves, and the many different ways we can do it bring it into the realm of creative. With so many ways to kiss and express ourselves through it, fun becomes part of the experience, and fun is a great tool for happiness!"

A Handsome Chris Klein Films 'American Reunion' With Jason Biggs
Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan and a really good-looking Chris Klein (men in suits are my kryptonite) filmed American Reunion in Monroe, GA yesterday. Once upon a 1999, we met Jim, Oz, Stifler, Kevin and Finch as they worked overtime to get laid before heading off to college. Fast-forward to find the gang getting back together for their reunion. Jim and Michelle are married and living happily in the 'burbs. However, their next-door neighbor has a crush on Jim, which doesn't sit well with her boyfriend. Aaaaand Jim's sex tape with Natasha has gone viral on YouTube.
PHOTOS: Yes, even Tara Reid Is Coming Back For American Reunion
Oz is a hotshot with a Malibu mansion and dating a gold-digging babydip, played by 30 Rock's Katrina Bowden. Heather (Mena Suvari) is dating a middle-aged surgeon who tries to act younger (so hopefully Heather and Oz will reunite?). Stifler is a total zero (how predictable) who works as temp and doesn't get laid often. He tries to avoid the reunion, but ends up having sex with a former high school classmate who used to be hot, but has since packed on a few pounds.
Finch is a world traveler these days, naturally. He scores big with Trish, one of Michelle's old band camp friends. And yes, Stifler's mom (Jennifer Coolidge) will make an appearance.

As the week last week progressed, the weather got cloudy. Disappointing to some, this can be very exciting for an instrument rated pilot ("oh boy we get to fly in the clouds!"). Saturday dawned with a great deal of promise. Low ceilings and lots of clouds dominated the area along our route. I might get a whole bunch of cloud time. I checked the weather and saw that a cold front was draped across our route, but it didn't look like it was generating any severe weather. What I didn't see was the early stages of a Nor'easter.

Back in the Saddle
This year my riding season started late. Through a combination of weather and life factors I was unable to get the bicycle back on the road until the 16th of March. My original intent was to restart my Monday evening Silver Comet rides the day after we changed back to daylight savings time (the 12th) but the weather had other plans. After an initial Friday morning ride on the 16th I got out again on the 17th and was able to do my first Monday evening ride on the 19th. 3 out of 4 days riding was a good way to jumpstart the season.

Weekend Trip to Florida
I probably fly to Clearwater, Florida more often than anywhere else. It helps to have relatives in the area, and it helps that I can fly in to a small airport just 20 minutes from their house. Last week my daughter had some time off school so it was a good time to make the trip and spend a few days in sunny Florida with the family.

Theater Connections
It didn't take long after we first opened the theater before one of our children asked if she could connect her game console to it. This was such a great idea that I immediately came up with a plan to make it happen. The cabinets at the front of the theater have three compartments. One is used by the subwoofer and another by the center speaker. That left one position open for a game console, and the obvious choice for adding external connections to the theater.

Theater Thoughts: Making it Better
I haven't posted an update about the theater in quite some time. We have been enjoying our home theater with both new and old titles. The Roku has provided us with access to the Netflix streaming library, and we have been watching TV shows as well as movies. But I still feel like the room is only about 90% done. There are a handful of nagging little things that can make the space even better, and I obsess about these changes constantly

The Bike Lane
I love riding in Florida. I occasionally get the opportunity to visit the Palm Harbor area and I usually arrange to rent or borrow a bike while I'm there. Last weekend was such a visit. A friend of mine who lives in the area has inherited my old Cannondale, but before he took possession of it I used it to get in a few days of riding.
I love the area for riding because the Pinellas Trail is nearby and because many of the roads have bike lanes. Having flat terrain helps, too. Some of my riding buddies don't like bike lanes, but I prefer them to mixing up with traffic in the regular lanes.

- 4 Diver scallops
- ½ cup Hazelnuts, crushed into consistency of bread crumbs, and a few whole
- 1 cup Don Pilar Anejo Tequila
- Agave Nectar
- Butter
- ½ an orange
- Polenta cake (basic polenta recipe, cooled then pan fried in butter)
In this first edition of cooking with tequila, the concept for this dish came out of the initial lunch with Juan from Don Pilar. We were bouncing ideas off of each other and getting into a groove of what ingredients would pair well with the Anejo tequila. Juan had mentioned that there was a hint of hazelnut and butterscotch that hit your palate when tasting the anejo. My mind was directly aimed at seafood when we started the discussion, and when talking about the hazelnut flavor, this dish was already visualized in my head. A hazelnut crust on a scallop is something I haven't heard a lot about nor seen on any menu to date. The flavors would go very well together… almost mimicking a macadamia crust that you see from time to time on pan-asian menus.
With a solid base and the dish essentially conceptualized, I went shopping to gather necessary ingredients and look for a little more inspiration for additions to the scallop. I knew the dish needed a starch and risotto in my mind was a little over done. There was mention of a couple things but one stood out to me as a bit different and also held some of the same flavors I was going for, polenta. With the starch requirement checked off, the last piece of the puzzle was a sauce. Juan and I had discussed using the tequila in some dishes. I thought this would be a great place for a reduction or even deglazing the pan the scallops were cooked in to create a sauce.
The dish came together pretty simply. Starting with the reduction of Anejo Tequila, a little fresh squeezed orange, agave nectar and some whole hazelnuts, this sat on the stove for about 20 minutes until the consistency was just enough to coat the back of a spoon. Once it was there, I added in a pad or 2 of butter to give it some nice richness and salt to balance the sweet. The scallop was crusted on one side with the crushed hazelnuts and put top down into a hot skillet with melted butter. Cooked evenly on both sides, pulled and then let to rest for a minute or two. The polenta was cooked in traditional method ahead of time, cooled and then cut with a ring mold. Lightly pan seared with some butter to mimic the top of the scallop and also to give it a nice crunch. Assembled with the sauce on the bottom, polenta then scallop, garnished with micro greens, this dish was spectacular. The tequila was noticeable but not over powering, and the hazelnuts added a wonderful flavor and compliment to the sweetness of the scallop.
In the first edition of tequila cooking, I'd say it went very well. Special thanks to John of Stocklin Photography for producing such gorgeous pics! Can't wait to try some more dishes for Don Pilar!

Twitter Joins 'Do Not Track' Ranks
By Jennifer Valentino-DeVries and Shira Ovide
Twitter said Thursday it would stop collecting information on Web surfers who indicate they don't want to be tracked online – a victory for privacy proponents and supporters of "Do Not Track" policies.
The decision means that people can check off a "Do Not Track" box in their Web browser settings and Twitter will then stop receiving page-visit information as they surf the Internet.
The announcement comes as Twitter is increasing its use of such Web-surfing data, which the company gets whenever people see one of those ubiquitous "tweet" buttons on a website.
Twitter said the policy would be effective immediately.
"Do Not Track" is one of the most important online privacy efforts to emerge in the past few years. The Federal Trade Commission and the White House have supported the system, and most major browser makers now include the option in their settings.
But even if you enable Do Not Track settings in your browser, it's up to online tracking companies to honor the preference. Major advertisers said this year that they will begin honoring Do Not Track messages, but they are still hashing out what exactly that will mean for them. It's not yet clear, for example, what data it will cover and whether ad companies will have to completely stop collecting information or can simply stop using that information to serve people ads.
Twitter said it would stop receiving page-visit information altogether if users enabled the browser setting. It described its move – and how to turn on Do Not Track – in a post on its site.
Twitter's announcement is significant because the company is the first major social media site to honor Do Not Track. These sites – such as Twitter and Facebook – have buttons scattered across the Web that can collect information on users. Whenever you see a Facebook "like" button, for example, Facebook can see what site you've visited and in many cases can tie that back to your profile.
Also on Thursday, Twitter said it was launching a service that would use such data to help the company suggest other Twitter accounts people should follow. The service, called Tailored Suggestions, might suggest that people who visit a lot of cooking sites follow celebrity chefs on Twitter, for example.
Announcing support for Do Not Track along with Tailored Suggestions could help blunt any possible privacy backlash that Twitter would face for using Web surfing data from its buttons in such a way.
"We applaud the FTC's leadership on Do Not Track, and are excited to provide the benefits of Do Not Track," Twitter said in a statement Thursday.

College Hockey:Yale Lands a Deathblow in ECAC
Mason Has First Two Goal Game
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — After suffering their first two conference losses at home last weekend against Harvard and Dartmouth, it seems that the Union College Dutchmen simply chose the wrong team against which to start a turnaround.
In this battle for late-January ECAC supremacy, it was the homestanding Yale Bulldogs that took a 4-3 victory before a sold out crowd of 3,486 at Ingalls Rink.
With the win, Yale claims a potentially important tie-breaker by taking the season series and moves into a first place tie with Cornell while the Dutchmen sit just one point back in third.
For fans who came expecting a battle between the top two offenses in the ECAC, the first period did not disappoint, so long as they got to their seats on time.
Yale wasted no time getting on the board, as Sean Backman scored his 13th of the year just 45 seconds in on the games first shot on goal. A shot from the point by Unions Mike Wakita took a bad deflection off the skate of Yales Andrew Miller back towards the neutral zone, giving Backman a clear breakaway as he picked up the loose puck, skated in along the left wing, and then deked to the right before backhanding the puck over Keith Kinkaids right pad.
Union would answer just over two minutes later at 3:05 on their own first shot when Luke Cain stole a cross-ice pass in the Yale zone and beat Nick Maricic inside the right post with a wrister from in between the faceoff circles.
Yale coach Keith Allain frequently switched up his lines throughout this up and down game, which saw little if any time spent in the neutral zone.
I was just trying to try some different combinations. I guess the one line that was constant was our checking line if you want to call it a checking line. Sometimes I think guys can get stale if you let them do the same thing all the time, so I wanted to try some different things.
The first fruit of this experiment ripened at 5:56 of the first when Yale would make it a 2-1 game on a pretty give-and-go play by Brian ONeill and Miller, who were playing together as Yale line mates for the first time. ONeill gained the line and dropped the puck for Miller, who guarded it from a defender and then fed it back to ONeill near the bottom of the far circle, where he was able to skate in and beat Kinkaid to the blocker side.
Me and Andrew played together in Chicago (of the USHL) so were pretty familiar with each other, ONeill said. He sees the ice really well, just went to the net, got a fortunate bounce, and I was kind of all alone with the goalie. It was a good play by Andy, pretty simple goal.
Union would have a chance to tie the game late in the first period, when top scorers Adam Presizniuk and Mario Valery-Trabucco had a shorthanded two-on-none opportunity. Nick Maricic was able to make one of many spectacular stops however, as he slid out to stop Valery-Trabuccos shot with the right pad.
Maricic finished the game with 22 saves while Kinkaid made 36 stops for Union.
Union would tie the game at two three minutes into the second on a broken play in front of the Yale net. While being spun around by Nick Jaskowiak to the right of the crease, Cain made a no-look backhanded pass to senior Jon Lareau, who scored under the glove of Maricic for his first career goal.
Yale regained the lead at 12:59 on a garbage goal just two seconds after the expiration of a Jason Walters boarding penalty. After a lengthy review, referee Bryan Hicks awarded the goal to Brendan Mason with helpers from Jeff Anderson and Denny Kearney.
Mason would add his second of the game on the power play 6:44 into the final period to give the home team a two goal lead for the first time. Kinkaid kicked the rebound of a shot from the point by Jimmy Martin right on to Masons stick and he easily buried it into the open net.
Yale would take three bad penalties in the third following their last goal, but the Yale penalty kill was able to stifle the Dutchmen power play each time. In what has been touted as the first of two games at Yale this weekend that will showcase three of the leagues best power play units, the stats might indicate that both sides left disappointed.
Union finished 0-for-5 while Yale was 1-for-7 with the extra man.
I dont think we played well on the power play at all, Union coach Nate Leaman said after the game. We were losing a lot of one-on-one battles, even on the half wall or down low. Then when we got the puck up top, we werent really moving our feet to get out of shot lanes. I thought their penalty kill out-executed us.
Power plays are funny, Allain said. I thought maybe our best power play of the night was our very first one and we dont score on that one. And then we get kind of a grind it out goal in the third which was the game-winning goal. And the third goal came at the very end of a power play, so in my mind that was a result of the work we were doing on the power play. So statistically, thats not a power play goal but I chalk it up as one.
Union would make things interesting with just over a minute left in regulation and Kinkaid heading for the bench when John Simpson had the rebound of a shot by Valery-Trabucco deflect off his skate and past Maricic. Yale was able to control the final minute to avoid further suspense and escape with the victory.
I thought we had the bulk of the scoring chances, Allain said. But I certainly wouldnt short-change that team in any way, shape, or form.
Commenting on the three-game skid for Union, Leaman saw a difference between tonight and last weekend.
Last week I was very happy even though we lost the games. We had better chances in the games and we outshot our opponents pretty handily. This game tonight, I thought the better team won. They won the one-on-one battles and they outworked us. Its the first time in awhile that weve been outworked. We tightened up in the second and the third, but we put ourselves in bad situations."
We didnt make them work for a lot of their offense; we gave it to them. You have to give them credit because they are good enough to (take advantage), but I was disappointed because when you go on the road, you have to make a team earn their offense and we didnt make them earn enough tonight.
Yale hosts RPI tomorrow while Union heads to Providence to face Brown.

About LazaR
LazaR has been painting and drawing all his life. In the tradition of Dutch classical masters, his artwork is a visual testament to his passion and talent. He was born in Utrecht, the Netherlands, the cradle of the great Dutch Masters.
In 1993 LazaR entered a local art show after only three months of full-time dedication to painting and was thrilled that one of his paintings was selected as the best painting in the exhibit. It was at this show where fate intervened and he met the celebrated Dutch painter, E. Hezemans. Recognizing LazaR's superb talent, Hezemans advised him not to attend art school but to further develop his own natural gift. They formed a close bond and E. Hezemans shared the secrets in the techniques of the Old Dutch Masters with LazaR.
LazaR utilizes a technique reminiscent of the Dutch Masters he has developed
a unique style, which defies a strict classification.
LazaR has traveled throughout Europe, living and painting in the Netherlands, France, Spain and Italy. His artwork is coveted, some of his paintings are even in private collections in Moscow.
In 2003 he received invitations to display his work in art shows in Florence, Italy and Barcelona, Spain. Last year he was invited to Prague, the Czech Republic, Milan and Bologna, Italy.
The love for his art gives him boundless inspiration.

Wildlife advocate Ralph Maughan of Idaho has joined forced with Wilderness Watch and several other conservation groups in filing an emergency injunction in federal court to put an immediate halt to a program to exterminate the Monumental and Golden wolf packs in the 2.4 million –acre Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. The kill program has been given the support of the US Forest Service. Although the judge denied the petition, Earthjustice, which represents Wilderness Watch and the other plaintiffs countered by filing an appeal to the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on January 21st.
The groups contend that the Forest Service (in charge of administering the area) has trampled all over the Federal Wilderness which "requires land managers to protect and administer designated areas so that they remain wild," when it authorized the extermination project by "approving the use of one of its cabins and airstrip to support a hired hunter-trapper to pack into the area and kill the wolves."
They also expressed their belief that part of the plan to kill the wolves involved "artificially inflating elk populations for outfitters and recreational hunters."
The animal advocates are now asking readers to express their own outrage of efforts to exterminate the wolves by contacting Forest Service chief Tom Tidwell at firstname.lastname@example.com and Idaho Department of Fish and Game director Virgil Moore at email@example.com.

Sony Xperia Sola, Xperia P and Xperia U launched in India
Not long after releasing the Xperia S in India, Sony has now launched three other new Xperia smartphones there: the Xperia Sola, Xperia P, and Xperia U.
The most expensive among them is the Xperia P, which costs 25,799 INR (about $466), and should become available starting next week, featuring a 4 inch display with 960 x 540 pixels, 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8MP rear camera, and 16GB of internal memory.
Reportedly, the Xperia Sola (pictured below), with its floating touch technology, and the Xperia U are available as of now, for 20,449 INR, and 17,399 INR, respectively.
Like the Xperia S, the Xperia Sola, Xperia P, and Xperia U run Android 2.3 Gingerbread at the moment, and will receive official updates to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich sometime later this year.

Drum roll please...

Contest is over now...
(A picture of myself and my best buddy Brittney this year at Thanksgiving. She's one of the most emotionally intelligent people I've ever met. She also happens to be my daughter.)
Hi there blogworld friends!
Just want to thank all of you who entered my little giveaway! It is always so nice to hear from you, see your blogs, read your comments!
I know, I know...you want to know who won.
Well...I can't tell you yet. I will,but not yet.
Did I tell you that I have been on a little break? It's not a real break, only a break from my usual routine. I have been working the whole time. But let me just say that I have truly found the method that works for me, if I want to really accomplish something.
Here it is:(the method) Check myself into a (cheap) hotel right here in my own town, and stay for at least 3 days and 3 nights, ALL BY MYSELF.
It's weird, I know. What's weirder is what I bring with me: My sewing machine and serger, all my sewing supplies, a boatload of fabric, my computer, printer, scanner, design tools, and some comfortable clothes. (Imagine what the hotel management thinks when they see me traipsing in with all that strange gear (hehe).
The other thing is...
NO husband, no kids, no laundry, no cooking, no cleaning, no homework, no dropping people off, picking people up, no distractions at all. I even put my phone on silent.
I have found that it's the most therapeutic thing for me, and I can whip out all kinds of stuff in record time. I only do this twice a year, about 3 or 4 months before each quilt market, cause that's when I start to panic:)
So when people ask how I do it with 7 kids, that's how.
BUT... tomorrow morning it all comes to an end:(
It's OK. I'm ready now. It's time to enter back into the real world, and be the real Mom again.
(I did cheat and let my kids come swimming in the pool a couple of times...that way they don't complain so much about me doing this.)
When I get home, the first thing on my agenda is to go to church with my family (and thank the Lord for giving me a husband who allows me to do everything that I do without complaining), and then come home and use the "online contest randomizer" to pick the PRIZE WINNERS!
Check back tomorrow...thanks for playing!
Love you all,

It's Giveaway Time again!
Hi there...so I didn't post yesterday like I thought. I spent most of the day sick in bed, and when I wasn't in bed, I wished I was.
But today is a brand new day...the sun is shining, and I am READY! READY to post about the contest/giveaway that I am having, to celebrate...actually there's nothing really to celebrate, (except me getting out of bed)...but we are celebrating anyway!! If you already commented on my last post when I alluded to the upcoming contest/giveaway, do not worry. I will count in all of the comments from my post two days ago, and add them to the comments received hereafter on this post. So you don't have to comment yet again. Unless you want to!
The prizes are:
Grand Prize: A fat quarter bundle of my new Isabella fabric by Riley Blake!(Click Here to see the collection)
ACTUALLY: there are a few pieces missing now, on the website, that I guess are sold out. But I have all of the collection in these cuts, so there will be more pieces for the winners than shows up on the website:)
Two First Place prizes will also be awarded: These winners will get one each of a Layer Cake (10" squares of each of the fabrics in the collection) and a Charm Pack(5" squares of each).
To enter: All you need to do is post about what you would use the fabric to make if you were to win, and then link to the contest on your blog or website if you have one. Please also include your email address so I can contact you if you are the winner. You don't have to be smart or clever, just enter! I will pick the winners using the online "radomizer", and in a week you will find out if you won! Contest officially ends Friday Jan 28th at midnight.
Good luck to all of you!

I hope you are enjoying the January wind-up...looking forward to valentines and shamrocks on the horizon! (YAY! I hate January!!)
I got the urge to see my little baby girls, and went on my daughter's facebook page to steal a peek.
Look what I found!
These three shots show the little strip work skirts I made for my little babies for Christmas! I mentioned them in a recent post.
The one on the left (Lola's) is a little sneak peek of the new "Lola's Posies" fabric line that will be coming out in the spring. (where'd that name come from???)
It's made of little strips from the strike-offs I got recently. You can't see too much, but that's OK since it's yet to be revealed!
The one on the right that Halle has on is mostly made of "Isabella" prints, as well as some "Spirit" and some "Eden" mixed in. It's nice when you can do that with different collections, isn't it?
And just look at adorable little Lola being cute and coy!
I can't stand it!!!
Remember when I had that "guess the designer"contest?? Here's a picture of Halle wearing her little patchwork top as a little summer dress! (Even though it's not quite summer:)
So sweet!!
Sugar and Spice and Everything nice...
This shows little Lola wearing an adorable outfit that Chelsea made as a sample for quilt market in some great Amy Butler fabric. Isn't that precious??
Hey...where did Halle go??? And why am I stuck here?
OK, well...I guess I won't put you through any more of my Grammy-Brag picture-a-thon. You have been so patient if you have stuck with me all the way here to the end!!! You deserve something special for that!
I should say!!!
Check back tomorrow when I tell you what the prizes are! (But you must comment!)

What's a Mom to do when her kids all go back to school??
No, I didn't paint a room, even though most of my house needs it. I didn't repaint my kitchen table that REALLY needs it. Instead I painted a canvas for Chelsea.
See...a while ago...OK a year ago, Chelsea asked me to paint a picture to hang in the sewing room of her new house. I said "Sure...if you will give me some of your pattern samples to give my little grand daughters." (I'm such a wheeler-dealer.) She said, "ummm....OK."
So she immediately sent me a big box full of darling Pink Fig clothing items as adorable as you can possibly imagine them being. I was so excited! I sent them all to my daughter in California, who then began dressing her little cutie pies up in them and flaunting them all over So. Cal.
What about that painting I promised Chelsea?? (you ask).
Well, um, I got really busy and sorta forgot that I ever said that I would do that.
Time went by... Then one day not too long ago, ( It was July, actually) Chelsea sent an email. Just a subtle hint, mind you.
Here's what she said.
Hi Lila!
The light bulb went on in my brain, and I realized that I had let that one slip by.
Anyway, so when my kids all started back to school, I decided it was time. I pulled out my paint supplies, bought a great big canvas, and went to town. When I do that, I don't sleep, I don't eat, I don't do anything but paint.
It takes me a while, but I can usually get it done in a couple days. Sometimes three. OK maybe I sleep a little bit. Maybe I eat a little too. But only if it takes that long. In this case, it was only a day and a half.
So I put it up on my mantle and took a picture to send to her.
These are close-up shots so you can see the texture better.
She Likes it!! Or so she says. She can't really come pick it up, not without driving for 12 hours or catching a plane. I'm certainly not going to try to ship it to her. So it's gong to have to wait till Quilt Market in May, which is in Salt Lake City this year! That's right down the road from me! HOW CONVENIENT!!
Chelsea will be coming to that, so she'll pick it up then and ship it with all her other stuff home. I hope it will look nice in that room! What do you think?
Now I want to paint something else. Any ideas?? (Not the kitchen table)
Having a wonderful time now that school is back in session!
Take care,

Sydney, Australia is a city created by inmate labor. Perhaps this is why Australia has a somewhat "rough and rowdy" reputation. A series of female mug shots from Australia's past confirms its crime history.
Frustrated with prison overcrowding, English prisons began shipping inmates to the United States for indentured servitude; sometimes those convicted were given a choice: shipped away, or to rot away in the filthy conditions of English prisons. The American War of Independence stopped this practice; the inmates were sent to Australia (an estimated 166,000 men, women, and children were transported between 1787 - 1868). In 1819 the Hyde Park Barracks became a prison for men and boys. Later it was revised as a hostel for Irish women escaping the famine, and later an insane asylum for women. Today Hyde Park Barracks is one of 11 Australian convict sites on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
The earliest known "mug shots" were taken in Belgium around 1844. Several years later, police in the United Kingdom began using photographs to identify criminals. In 1888, criminologist Alphonse Bertillion developed and standardized the mug shot.
Here are a few mug shots taken of female criminals during the turn of the century in Australia. All of the mug shots were taken in New South Wales, Australia. They are archived at The Historic House of Trust. The faces have changed, but the type of crimes committed by women have not. History, in the faces of crime, surely repeats itself.

Dorothy Mort
Mrs. Dorothy Mort was having an affair with Dr. Claude Tozer. Tozer decided he had to end the affair and went to her home on December 21, 1920 to break the news to his mistress. Overcome with rage, she shot him dead before attempting suicide. She is 32 years old in this photo.
Nellie Cameron
One of the most popular prostitutes in Sydney, Australia, Nellie Cameron is seen here at aged 21. Australia's first police woman L. Armfield said of Cameron, "she has an assured poise that set her apart from the other women of the underworld."
Eugenia Falleni
Eugenia Falleni spent most of her life disguised as a man, calling herself "Harry Crawford." In 1912 "Harry" married widowed Annie Birkett and then murdered her. She is about 43 years old in this photo. The case made headlines due to the cross-gender aspect of the "man/woman murder."
Muriel Goldsmith
25 year old Muriel Goldsmith also went by numerous aliases. She was a thief who stole money, jewelry, and more. She was caught stealing from the Wagga Wagga Criterion Hotel and this is the mug shot taken for that particular charge.
Emily Hemsworth
24 year old Emily Hemsworth murdered her three week old son but claimed to not recall the details. Found not guilty by insanity, she was detained until judged fit to return to society.
Janet Wright
Former nurse Janet Wright performed illegal abortions in her home and was convicted of "using an instrument to procure a miscarriage." A teenaged patient was nearly killed as the result of the botched abortion. 68 year old Wright received 12 months of hard labor.

If you missed last weekend's Houston Metro Cooking Show and Paula Deen's appearance, you can still catch great cooking demonstrations from locally well-known chefs from some of Houston's best-loved food trucks at the Texas Home and Garden Show at the Reliant Center.
This year, for the first time, the Texas Home and Garden Show at Reliant Center will be hosting a Mobil Gourmet Cafe. There you will find a variety of Houston's greatest food trucks, and some of the chefs on those trucks will be giving cooking demonstrations for how they make some of the favorite foods from their truck. For instance, you could see Bernie's Burger Bus cooking up Preschool Sliders or watch as Happy Ending makes hot dogs, tacos and egg rolls.
It costs $10 for adults and $9 for seniors to get into the show. On Saturday, when you visit the show, you will have to pay extra for parking between 10 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. due to the University of Houston's Bayou Bucket game, but you can get $5 off the cost of your show ticket if you bring your parking stub to the ticket window.
While you are at the show, be sure to check out the speaker Scott Snodgrass who will have a presentation on both Saturday and Sunday at the show about growing edible plants in your yard or garden. This may give you some ideas for starting your own kitchen garden for the freshest possible herbs and produce for your home cooking. There will even be vendors on hand to help you with any kitchen remodeling ideas you may have.
Texas Home and Garden Show

No. 22 Lady Raiders Host Denver at Lubbock Country Club
Samantha Adams enters the season ranked No. 49 nationally.
January 18, 2013
LUBBOCK, Texas – The first step in the defense of its 2012 Big 12 Conference title begins on Saturday, as the No. 22 Texas Tech women's tennis team opens the season against the University of Denver at 4 p.m. at Lubbock Country Club.
"We are excited to get the season underway," said Lady Raider head coach Todd Petty. "Denver is a quality opponent and provides a good test to see where we stand."
Texas Tech returns all seven letterwinners from last season's league championship squad. Leading the way is nationally-ranked Samantha Adams, who begins the spring ranked No. 49. Adams was 7-3 in the fall and went 2-3 against rank opponents.
Adams is the first Lady Raider to enter the spring ranked in singles since Irena Tereschenko was ranked No. 106 in 2004.
Also entering 2013 ranked is the doubles tandem of Nikki Sanders and Rashmi Teltumbde, who are No. 33 nationally in doubles. The duo was 7-2 in the fall, including 2-0 against ranked opponents.
Sanders and Teltumbde's No. 33 ranking is the highest doubles ranking to begin the spring in school history. Adams and Kenna Kilgo entered last spring ranked No. 45, which was the previous best doubles ranking.
Last season, the Lady Raiders were 19-6 overall and 8-1 in Big 12 play en route to the team's first Big 12 title and its first trip to the NCAA Championships.
Adams and Kilgo also earned a spot in the individual NCAA Doubles Championships, marking the first time since 1988 that a Texas Tech doubles squad had advanced to the NCAAs.
In all, Adams, Teltumbde and Elizabeth Ullathorne each garnered a spot in the ITA Top 125 singles rankings last season, solidifying the Lady Raiders' top three spots in the rotation.
Another key will be senior Caroline Starck, who has compiled a 79-35 record and ranks eighth in career wins. She has won more matches than any Lady Raider over the last 25 years.
Senior Sandra Dynka and freshmen Sofya Malysheva, Kelli Hine and Kendall Warren will also vie for a spot in the rotation.

EXAMINER: More cash for Rauner and more endorsements for Dillard again
With less than two weeks until the March 18th Illinois Primary Election, the Republican race for governor this week seemed like a replay of the last two weeks. But according to a recent poll, nothing really changed.
On Monday, businessman Bruce Rauner gave his campaign another $1million to fend off any impact a series of powerful anti-Rauner ads may have. This pushed Rauner's self-funding tally to $6 million, a record for an Illinois gubernatorial candidate, previously held by another Chicago businessman, Ron Gidwitz, who donated $5.3 million in a 2006 losing effort.
State Senator Kirk Dillard continued his approach of securing major endorsements, adding the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31 (AFSCME) yesterday and the Illinois Education Association (IEA) earlier this week. This is substantial because AFSCME is comprised of 100,000 retired and current public service workers in the state and the IEA boasts 130,000 teachers and education professionals as members. Dillard also sent out a detailed, multi-page, economic plan to likely Republican voters and thanks to the Fund for Progress and Jobs, started running television ads in Chicago this week. The Dillard union endorsements actually made him the target for Rauner, State Senator Bill Brady and Illinois Treasurer Dan Rutherford to pounce on at a debate last night on WGN-TV.
But, even with all those positives for Dillard this week, per a recent poll, it isn't working. According to a 'We Ask America' poll conducted Tuesday, of the 1,262 likely GOP voters surveyed, Rauner led with 40 percent, followed by respective percentages for Dillard, Brady and Rutherford of 14.5, 12 and 8 with 26 percent still undecided. The margin of error was 2.85 percent and it was conducted prior to the ad sinking in and the AFSCME endorsement.
The way this is trending per this poll, the race may be over. Since a 'We Ask America' poll of February 25th, Rauner gained four points, Dillard lost 2.5 points, Brady lost a point, Rutherford lost 0.5 points and the undecided pool went down a point.
But, stranger things can happen. Dillard now has a television presence and is gaining endorsements from the very group Rauner has vilified in his campaign - labor. If labor casts votes en masse for Dillard and Dillard rallies his historic support base in DuPage County, the actual numbers may look very different from the polls. But will it happen and will it be enough? There's little time for speculation because early voting has already started and the election is only 12 days away.
