Women's Basketball Downs UNC-Greensboro, 63-49
Dec. 30, 2003
AMHERST, Mass. - Junior Edris Bailey (Mt. Hope, Trinidad & Tobago) and senior Judit Zsedenyi (Budapest, Hungary) combined for 34 points as the University of Massachusetts women's basketball team (4-7) defeated the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, 63-49, before 1,135 fans tonight at the Mullins Center. The win snapped a three-game losing streak for the Minutewomen.
Massachusetts built up a 15-point advantage, 28-13, on a three-pointer by freshman Joyce Massey (Detroit, Mich.) at the 1:22 mark of the first half and never allowed the Spartans back into the game. UNCG's Jasmine Byrd and LaToya Joyner hit three-pointers in the final 43 seconds to cut into the deficit but UMass still took an 11-point lead, 30-19, into intermission.
The second half saw both teams trade baskets for the most part. The Spartans made a run to cut the lead to eight points (43-35) at the 11:59 mark, but UMass responded with a quick 8-0 spurt to secure the game. UNCG never got its deficit under 10 points after that and UMass ended 2003 with a notch in the win column.
Zsedenyi led all scorers with 18 points. Bailey had 16 points, nine rebounds and three steals. Freshman Tamara Tatham (Brampton, Ontario) had seven points, seven rebounds, six assists, a blocked shot and four steals. Senior Cleo Foster (Toronto, Ontario) had a season-high eight points and four assists.
Massachusetts recorded 19 assists on 21 field goals and shot a season-high 80 percent (16-for-20) at the free throw line. UMass shot 38 percent from the field, while UNCG connected on 34 percent of its field goal attempts. UMass out-rebounded the Spartans, 35-31, its first win of the season (1-7) when holding the edge on the glass.
The Minutewomen open up Atlantic 10 Conference play this weekend with a pair of games in the City of Brotherly Love. Up first is La Salle on Saturday, January 3 at 12:00 p.m. Then UMass will take on Saint Joseph's on Tuesday, Jan. 6. Tip-off is also slated for 12:00 p.m.

Philip K. Brewer
We are here to discuss Textainer's second quarter 2008 results that were reported on August 5, 2008. Joining us on this morning's call are John Maccarone, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Ernie Furtado, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
Before I turn the call over to John and Ernie, I would like to point out that this conference call contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of US securities laws. These statements involve risks and uncertainties, are only predictions, and may differ materially from actual future events or results. It is possible that the company's future financial performance may differ from expectations due to a variety of factors. Any forward-looking statements made during this call are based on certain current assumptions and analyses made by the company in light of its experience and current perceptions of historical trends, conditions, expected future developments, and other factors it currently believes are appropriate. Any such statements are not a guarantee of future performance and actual results or developments may differ from those projected. Finally, the company's views, estimates, plans and outlook as described within this call may change subsequent to this discussion. The company is under no obligation to modify or update any or all of the statements that are made herein despite any subsequent changes the company may make in its views, estimates, plans or outlook for the future. For a discussion of such risks and uncertainties, see the "Risk Factors" included in the company's quarterly report Form 6K filed with the SEC on May 14, 2008.
I would also like to point out that during this call we will discuss non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures will be provided either on this conference call or can be found in the company's August 5, 2008 press release.
I would now like to turn the call over to John Maccarone.
John A. Maccarone
We had an excellent second quarter in all phases of our business: Resale, new container long-term lease and finance lease originations, and depot container lease ups. The utilization for the second quarter averaged 93.9% about 1% higher than the first quarter average. Looking at the first half we ordered 104,000 TEU of new standard dry freight container production for our owned and managed fleets for delivery through August, and that was about $229 million of cap ex. We also ordered 2,750 refrigerated containers comprising $48 million of cap ex for the owned and managed fleet for delivery through September. We originated 164,000 TEU of long-term leases, 18,000 TEU of finance leases, sold 16,000 trading units and 30,000 owner units. We're especially pleased about our financing and Phil will give us an update on that in just a few minutes.
Second quarter net income was up $24.5 million excluding unrealized gains on interest rate swaps net of minority interest is a 53% increase over the second quarter of 2007 and net income per diluted common share excluding unrealized gains on interest rate swaps net of minority interest is $0.51 a share.
The dividend paid in the second quarter of 2008 was $0.22 a share which is an increase of $0.01 or 5% over the prior quarter. Our next dividend to be paid this month is $0.23 a share nearly another 5% increase. In the four dividends that we will have paid since becoming a public company last October of $0.20, $0.21, $0.22, and $0.23 respective we will have distributed a total of $0.86. Textainer's goal is to pay out about 50% of net income in dividends which we believe properly rewards our shareholders and still enables us to achieve our capital expenditure and acquisition goals.
I'd now like to turn it over to Ernie Furtado, our CFO, to take us through the numbers.
Ernest J. Furtado
I'd like to take this opportunity to review our financial performance for the second quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2008. Fleet size at the end of the second quarter consisted of slightly more than 2 million TEU of which 41% were owned and the remainder were managed, subleased or on finance lease. Utilization for the total fleet for the second quarter was 93.9%.
First I'll review the second quarter results. Net income excluding unrealized gains on interest rate swaps net of minority interest was $24.5 million which represents a 53% increase over the $16 million in the prior year quarter. Net income was $30.4 million which represents an 83% increase over the prior year quarter and includes $7.2 million in unrealized gains on interest rate swaps which is a non-cash non-operating item and which was $6.1 million higher in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. Lease rental income decreased by $0.6 million or 1% compared to the prior year quarter as the 4.7% increase in fleet size was partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in geography income due to less military activity and a 3.3% decrease in rental rates which is partially due to the decline in containers on lease to the military.

Obama 'Not Sure' Rapper Nicki Minaj Really Endorsed Romney
President Barack Obama doesn't seem to buy the idea that rapper Nicki Minaj is a Mitt Romney supporter.
On Lil Wayne's just-released mixtape "Dedication 4," Minaj seemed to endorse GOP presidential candidate Romney.
But on the Orlando radio station Power 953, Obama said "I'm not sure that is actually what happened. I think she had a song on there, a little rap that said that. But, she likes to play different characters. So I don't know what's going on there."
On the new track, Minaj can be heard rapping this line on the track "Mercy": "I'm a Republican voting for Mitt Romney, you lazy b—-es are f—ing up the economy." Later in the same song, she raps about hanging out with zombies, so the whole thing could be a joke of some sort.
In the radio interview, Obama also that he and First Lady Michelle Obama "try to keep up and so we've got a nice hip-hop collection on our iPods." He said of his daughters Malia and Sasha: "I don't think they really listen to Nicki Minaj that much."
Representatives for Minaj didn't respond to a request for comment.

The emerging name in metabolic and inflammatory disease.
Disorders of metabolism are among the most common of human illnesses. Together, these conditions afflict virtually all organ systems and are typically chronic — if not lifelong — diseases. Management of these disorders usually requires prolonged treatment to avoid complications that lead to progressive disability, organ failure, and accelerated mortality.

It's raining and hailing in California, it's so many degrees below zero in Wisconsin that Ellen DeGeneres shivered when she announced it on her show, and - most important in our household - Bob the Kitten is not pleased. And when Bob isn't happy, nobody's happy. Because he has a meow louder than the thunder, a whimper more pitiful than a baby without its pacifier and nails that can dig into your flesh like a tetanus shot at 2 a.m.
And we admit it: We aren't fond of electricity outages, listening to the radio announce intensified storms and warnings to stay inside and all the other un-fun of bad weather.
So with that in mind, we've got our top ten bad weather basics:
- Got a cat? You need a laser pointer. When the electricity goes out, keep the cat entertained and get him tired out by playing laser pointer tag. Then use it to read. Bob the Kitten recommends SmartyKat LocoLaser Interactive Laser Pointer (click for details).
- Got cold? Warm up with high quality hot cocoa. For a guilt-free version, we recommend Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa Mix, Sensible Sweets, No Sugar Added (click for more information).
- Kitten entertainment rule: Prime playtime is 2 a.m. Also 3 a.m. Uh, and 4 a.m.? (Oh, Bob, why?) Hide an interactive cat toy until that witching hour - then get the cat to play solo while you snooze (ahhh). Our cat-tested, five paws high recommendation includes a scratching pad as well: Bergan Turbo Scratcher Cat Toy (click for details).
- Have an old-fashioned, battery-operated CD player with soothing music ready. It will calm kittens, kids and, yes, you.
- Remember in the olden days when games didn't require electricity? Have several on hand, such as Boggle and Bananagrams. Our favorite: Big Boggle (click for details).
- Wine and wine corks: Can't drive, so it's the perfect time for that vintage wine. Save and wash the wine cork for the kitten.
- Ping pong balls: Set up a ping pong ball or two in a big box. Place the kitten inside. Ping, pong, ping, pong.
- Jump rope: Can't get to the gym? Work off those calories from the hot chocolate and wine with a jump rope. Also great for cat entertainment ("haha, look, stupid human tricks!).
- BIG flashlight: Good for finding kittens meowing under your bed, reading and hunting for your hidden stash of extra-dark emergency chocolate. We like: Dorcy 41-2510 Floating Waterproof LED Flashlight with Carabineer Clip.
- Writing paper: Remember Great-Aunt Myrtle who thinks computers are explosives? Write her an old-fashioned letter to say you love her. Enclosed a photo of your kitten and kid at their cutest and brighten her day (even if the electricity is out).
And a final note from Bob the Kitten: "Keep cat food on hand with extra treats. Catnip helps. Meow!"

I have a HTML file containing the code for an image map with over 200 links, like this:
<area shape="RECT" coords="410, 7, 438, 35" href="/ItemDetails.jsp?item=os_landranger_1"/>
The problem is, the actual links are incorrect: I need to replace them with correct URLs, which are derived from a product title and reference number, which I have in a CSV file.
Essentially I need a specialised Find and Replace that will read the first link, get the title and ref. no. from the CSV, and enter them into the HTML in the correct format (i.e. with spaces replaced with _) before going onto the next one, and so on. The links need to come out the other end like this:
<area shape="RECT" coords="410, 7, 438, 35" href="product/1_-_Shetland_%C2%96_Yell%2C_Unst_and_Fetlar_9780319228074" />
In this case the title in the CSV would read '1 - Shetland - Yell, Unst and Fetlar' and the ref. no. would be 9780319228074
Is there any way I can do this, preferably for free?
I've managed to do this using Excel. I first imported the tags into a blank workbook as a CSV, telling Excel to use " as the delimiter. I then imported the title list into a new column and then reconstructed the tag in an empty cell with the & operator using the title list to replace the old URL. A bit of find and replace to convert commas and ampersands to HTML codes, then copying and pasting of the formula to the rest of the rows, and voila, success.
Thanks to everyone who answered.

CONGO Mike O'Brien & Marthe Bijman
AngloGold Ashanti's Mongbwalu mining project, DRC (ISBN: 978-0-9919415-7-5)
de Mike O'Brien and Marthe Bijman
This book shows the photos that Mike O'Brien took on a visit to the area around Mongbwalu, DRC, in August 2010. Not much has changed since 2004.
Extract from the 2004 Human rights Watch Report: "The Curse of Gold - Democratic Republic of Congo"
"The northeast corner of the DRC is home to one of Africa's richest goldfields.
Competition to control the gold mines and trading routes has spurred the bloody conflict that has gripped this area since the start of the Congolese war in 1998 and continues to the present.
More than sixty thousand people have died due to direct violence in this part of the Congo alone. Rather than bringing prosperity to the people of northeastern Congo, gold has been a curse to those who have the misfortune to live there.
AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. is one of the largest gold production companies in the world, with the majority of shares [at the date of reporting] owned by the international conglomerate, Anglo American plc.
The promising gold mining concession in northeastern Congo had become part of the Ashanti Goldfields portfolio in 1996 when the company bought a stake in a joint venture operation between Mining Development International and OKIMO, called Kilo-Moto International Mining (KIMIN).
This purchase gave Ashanti Goldfields part of the rights to the highly lucrative Concession 40, which included 2,000 square kilometers around Mongbwalu."
The Congo...verdant, dramatically beautiful, filled with abundant natural resources, with an ambience of recent, appalling violence and hidden mass graves - history eradicated, things falling apart.
Marthe Bijman designs books with her own photos as well as the excellent photos taken by Mike O'Brien, a Geologist, on his travels around the world.

Powerful Two-Light Location Set Up
Today I want to show you a simple but powerful two light set up for location. The image is of a Mother and son looking at a book together in a nice master bedroom. Main light is an Elinchrom 600 ws Strobe with the 53" Junior Octa my favorite soft box. The second light is a second Elinchrom 600ws unit with a standard reflector placed behing them to the right pointing up in the pitched ceiling. Look closely at the two slim detail crops and see all the second light does! It back lights, lights hair, over all fill lights in addition to lighting up the room evenly. Often simple ways make things look great. I did bring a carload of different lights, never know what you might want and need. Hope your summer is great. For us it has been the second busiest July in my 34 years as a Photographer. Not second most profitable, but second busiest :-)Main light only, Elinchrom 600 ws Strobe w/ the 53" Junior Octa my favorite soft box. Main light + second light a Elinchrom 600ws unit with a standard reflector placed behind them to the right pointing up at the peiched ceiling.
Reader Comments (3)
Nice tip! Next time post a set up pic showing the lights. I'd love to see the angle of the second light and reflector.
Good Morning Kenneth, Those are some very pretty photographs, and I thank you for sharing your choice of lighting technique. I too would like to see how you set the lights up in a diagram. I would also like to know some thrifty tips on making my own lighting because I cannot afford such expensive equipment at the moment. Are there some do it yourself websites you could suggest?
Thanks again
PS Have a Great Day
If any of you had ever been to my seminars and seen my articles you would know how I use overviews and comperesance.
When I have a 8 shoot magazine job, with 45 min pr shoot I can't with art director, editor etc running around spend time on overviews, unless I'm ahead of schedule. On this particular shoot, they had by mistake only put up 30 min, the previous shot was outside by the pool, this one on 2nd floor,next one downstairs in the living room. I think the most impressive with this shot is how fast we sat it up did it and got downstairs. Dilvie you know enough about light that looking at the subject and how the light hits them, beside my description I think you very well understand where and how the lights are placed. I will take advice and skip posting images unless I had extra time to shoot overviews for myself and you. It is so many people involved in shoots like this, and I am no computer genious to make diagrams, last ready made I looked at had only 1/3 of the light sources I use in it. BTW I have classes that teaches advanced and simple lighting all year round. See http://www.intsop.com Sorry this comments made me grumpy this early in the day.
PS. Dilvie, Concerning the reflector on the second light it is a standard reflector as I wrote, the little one that look the same with any brand,the one you use with umbrellas etc.

The girls from "19 Kids and Counting" are great kids, but they do admit to not always being perfect. On March 20, Starcasm shared how the girls say that they have accidentally had a drink of alcohol before even though none of them have ever kissed a boy.
This family is really into politics. The girls are at parties and handed drinks all the time. Sometimes they take a drink and it turns out to be alcohol. Of course they can't be rude and spit out so they have to swallow it and go on. They don't drink it on purpose but sometimes it just does happen.
The Duggar girls will not kiss the men they date until their wedding day. Jessa is in a courtship right now but she isn't kissing the boy at this time. It won't happen until they tie the knot.
Don't miss "19 Kids and Counting" when it returns for another season. It will be back on April 1 on TLC. Find out the Duggar's rules for courting at this link.

A teacher in Hancock County, Ohio was caught on camera grabbing a student by his face. His parents are furious not only with the fact that a teacher touched their son in that fashion but also because of the ridiculous punishment the teacher received.
Anthony and Autumn Nelson have two children in Riverdale Schools. The child that was assaulted by the teacher was their son Ian, 6, who is a kindergartner. The surveillance video of the incident shows Ian walking down the hall to the bathroom.
When he leaves the bathroom after a few minutes, he is confronted by his teacher. What she did next is shocking. She grabbed him and holds him up against the wall. She then grabbed him by the face and by the shirt. As she picks him up off the floor, his head flops back.
The teacher was only suspended by the school district for 10 days. Anthony Nelson stated, "I would consider what would happen to myself, if I were to do that to her. If I were to do that to her, I would go to jail."
Autumn Nelson stated, "He was in the other room and I watched it [video] out in the kitchen and I just started crying. I burst out in tears. I called my mom. I called his mom."
The Nelsons insist that the teacher should have been terminated. They plan to take the video to the Hancock County Sheriff's office and see if they can have any criminal charges filed against the teacher.

Difference of opinionsNovember 24,2012
Difference of opinions
Just a few comments on your editorial published in the Nov. 17 edition of The Times Argus. While some want to write off the Republican Party, it should be noted that President Obama received 50.4 percent of the popular vote according to one source and candidate Romney received 48 percent. This is hardly a mandate in the usual understanding of the term. The Electoral College was another matter.
While the people elected Obama, they also returned most of the U.S. House members so we will remain a divided country. If I love this country and truly believe that more freedom and smaller government means people can flourish and better themselves, why would I ever give up on that goal, and I doubt that most House members will not give up.
You claim that people through their political leaders have said they want Roe v. Wade to continue to be the law, but a poll by Gallup reports that 51 percent of people call themselves pro-life and 42 percent pro-abortion. This would be a national poll and not a Vermont-only poll, where no doubt your statement would be correct. The opinion of most people who call themselves pro-life have this opinion rooted in faith, and they will not change.
What we should do is eliminate the language of separation and marginalization and talk. Perhaps this newspaper could be an example.

GSU Halts Women's Tennis Win Streak
Courtesy: BCUathletics.com
Release: 04/03/2013
STATESBORO, Ga. – Gaby Chinchilla's winning streak continued, but Bethune-Cookman's three-match run was stopped by Georgia Southern 6-1 Wednesday afternoon.
Chinchilla won her eighth consecutive singles match for the only Lady Wildcats (13-9) point as the Eagles (7-10) swept the doubles matches and took the other five singles matches in straight sets.
B-CU returns home next weekend for a three-match home stand to conclude the regular season, beginning Friday with a key Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference match against defending champion South Carolina State at City Island Courts.

On Wednesday actress Valerie Harper, best known for her role on Rhoda, announced, "I'm absolutely cancer-free!" in an article with Closer magazine she says, "My last scans have been positive, and my doctors are very happy."
Last March, Harper, 74, was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. At the time, doctors told her she could have just a few more months to live. However, a few weeks ago, her medical team was astounded by her test results.
Brain-Surgery.com says, "Inoperable tumors are those located in an inaccessible place in the brain, or those that are composed of multiple tumors that cannot all be removed. The key issue is the location of the tumor(s) and whether or not the surgeon feels he or she can access it without damaging critical brain areas around it, such as those needed for speech, movement, and other essential functions of the body. The objective of radiation therapy is to selectively killing tumor cells while avoiding damaging healthy brain tissue nearby. To accomplish this goal, standard external beam radiation is administered in "fractions", or doses, to the brain."
Harper says, "[The oncologist] looked at the scans and said, 'Oh my God, Valerie, this is very encouraging!' I'm now the poster child for not believing everything I'm told."
Though Harper said that her doctor will not use the term "remission" — "He likes to say, 'I give you a treatment, and it's either responsive or nonresponsive — and you are having a phenomenal response,'" she said — she noted that she feels much better. She's also cutting down her visits to the doctor to just once every eight weeks, and she's taking a "pulse dose" of medication once each week.
"There may come a time when I'm not feeling good," she said. "But then again, that time may never come."

All about Async/Await, System.Threading.Tasks, System.Collections.Concurrent, System.Linq, and more…
We're happy to announce that you can now download an Async Targeting Pack for Visual Studio 11 that lets you target .NET 4 and Silverlight 5. The included DLLs address the previously discussed issue of the Visual Studio 11 Beta compilers being incompatible with the AsyncCtpLibrary* DLLs from the Async CTP; with this targeting pack, you can use the async/await keywords with Visual Studio 11 Beta to compile for .NET 4 and Silverlight 5. The DLLs are available via a NuGet package, with installation details available here. Enjoy!
Is this going to a fully supported, released extension?
I had more or less planned to skip .NET 4.5. That is because I have customers that are among the 20% of all windows users (meaning they use Windows XP). I figured that when XP is no longer supported by Microsoft (in 2014) there will probably be a .NET 5.0 coming out and I would look at that then.
Can you comment about the current and future support (Go-Live) status of this extension pack?
If upgrading to Visual Studio 11 means that I can have a Non-CTP version of Async for .net 4.0 and Windows XP then I may want to upgrade.
(I will have a fair amount of work to get the upgrade through my management any time soon. I usually have to talk up the new releases, but I have not bothered for this one because of the lack of XP support.)
Another vote for enabling 'Generate task-based operations' when adding a service reference for a .NET 4 project.
This was implemented in the Async CTP for VS2010 via TaskWsdlImportExtension. Can this functionality be added to Async Targettng Pack for VS11?
I hope it is ok to post this here. I had the same problem and wanted to use Tasks to wait for WCF operations. I wrote a simple tool which generates wrapper methods around the BeginXXXX/EndXXXX methods and return a Task.
Perhaps it will help you: wcftaskgen.codeplex.com
@Chris85: Thanks for sharing!

- Paperback Edition
- Publication Date: 05-15-2005
- Page Count: 288
- Categories: Fiction, Latin American
Foreword by Helen Maria Virmontes. Afterword by Debra A. Castillo.
The sole novel of beloved Chicana author Estela Portillo Trambley, Trini is the epic story of one girl's journey across borders and into womanhood. Born in the rural region of the Tarahumara (Raramuri) people in Mexico, Trini shares her family's struggle to squeeze a living out of her beautiful but inhospitable land. But she is sustained by the rich traditions of her Mestiza heritage, the adopted traditions of the Tarahumara, and by her own intelligence and spirit. As a young woman, she crosses into the United States to pursue her dreams of independence and land ownership.
Trini is a novel distinguished by the richness and beauty of its language and by its rare depiction of life in the Borderlands in the 1940s and 1950s. Most remarkable of all is its portrait of a sensitive and courageous young Chicana woman, whose quiet heroism resonates from every page. Here restored to print with a new foreword, this early novel of the Mexican American experience is bound to take its rightful place among contemporary classics of multicultural American literature.
"Trini is a coming-of-age story rich with romance and drama, with miracles and mysteries. This rare glimpse into life in the Tarahumara region of Mexico explores a complex web that includes the power of love and faith—both Catholic and rooted in indigenous traditions and values. The reprinting of this novel is significant in the history of Chicana literature, and will introduce new readers to the journeys of the resilient Trini."
"An engrossing tale . . . Trambley convincingly conveys the beauty, magic, and harshness of Tarahumara country in this fine effort."
"Part Native American mysticism and part Chicana coming-of-age tale, Trini has stayed with me because of the quiet strength of the title character and intricate ways her life circles back on itself. If you have ever had a bit of the wanderer in you or struggled to achieve a life-long goal, you will enjoy this book."

KK: I used to be able to fall sound asleep before I could finish my prayers. And, I would sleep soundly and deeply through the night, waking up refreshed and ready for my next day. What happened, Sal? Here's what happened:
My bladder has shrunk to the size of a green pea, and now I have to tee tee at least two or three times in the middle of the night. This entails waking up, finding my way to the bathroom in the pitch black without stumbling over a cat and making it through two doorways without hitting the door jams with my shoulder or face.
SalGal: Well, I still sleep really well. Sorry. I doubt that it takes a full minute for me to fall asleep every night. I do have to get up once, usually, and walk the cat gauntlet gingerly so as not to squoosh one of them. This is a fun game for Odessa because she lies in wait at the hall door and likes to grab my ankles with her empty, clawless feet. It's very disconcerting and feels like little, evil gremlins are trying to drag me away. As soon as I hit the bed again, I'm gone.
KK: Once back in my bed, I wind up in phantasmagorical dreaming because I've had a nicotine patch on all day, in my 87th attempt to quit smoking. Nicotine pulsing through my blood stream, not invited and looking for a home in one cell or another. Evidently, at night it settles in my brain to cause disruption and fear, all in Technicolor rivaling any Hollywood epic. I make it through,"Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the…………KaWHAMY…in come the demons, the ex-husbands, horses with claws and small children calling me Mommy!
SalGal: Now, there's a nightmare tantamount to the one I had that I gave birth to a litter of dachshunds and presented them proudly to the Queen of England. She was not amused even though I was very proud and even had them artfully arranged in a round basket lined with red velvet and silver lame. The castle caught on fire and I had to drop the basket and rip off all of my clothes right there in front of Queen Elizabeth and Elton John. Thank God it was only a hot flash.
KK: Ha! My hot flashes wake me up at least two times each night. This requires throwing off all the covers, lying on my back, lifting my jammy top up to my chin in the front so my chest can cool down, raising my jammy pant legs above my knees so they can breathe and not touching any part of my body at 105 degrees with any other part of my body. The hot flash lasts approximately three minutes. I can tell when it's over because then I'm freezing and have to pull all covers back over my entire body including my head.
SalGal: Hahahahahaha! That's the perfect description!! All boomer men should be warned that this position is not an invitation but rather a clear sign that the woman should be left to her dreaming and not be touched.
KK: To add insult to the injury of no sleep, my morning mirror shows me my pillow face. Youngsters haven't faced this dilemma yet. It's not pretty. Because our facial skin is looser at middle age, when we sleep on one side of our faces for long periods of time, the pillow creates a fold, a chasm, a deep canyon in the cheek. And, because the elasticity of our skin has taken a permanent vacation, this deep fold creates a vertical wrinkle that remains on our cheek until late afternoon. Sal, you can always tell what this is, what with your snide casual remark "Oh…KK, your pillow face hasn't gone away yet, I see."
SalGal: I know but I have pillow cases with eyelet edges and I went through an entire brunch at Ye Little Croissant Café before you told me my face looked like the covered part of The Phantom of the Opera's face. That was just wrong.

Boston University Blanks Hockey, 3-0
Feb. 18, 2005
Box Score | Quotes | Photo Gallery
AMHERST, Mass. - The University of Massachusetts fell to No. 11 Boston University on Friday night, 3-0 in front of 4,558 fans at the Mullins Center.
Chris Bourque scored twice and John Curry posted his first career shutout in the win.
The Minutemen (11-19-2, 5-14-2 Hockey East) were quickly down a man when senior Peter Trovato (North Attleboro, Mass.) was called for roughing-contact to the head just 10 seconds into the contest. The Terriers' (19-10-3, 13-4-2 Hockey East) Brian McConnell capitalized at 1:16, beating Gabe Winer (Stoughton, Mass.) in his first game back since Feb. 5 at Merrimack. Chris Bourque and Bryan Miller assisted on the opening tally.
UMass had its own power play opportunities late in the first--including 12 seconds of a 5-on-3--but was unable to convert and the teams went into the locker room with the 1-0 B.U. advantage. Shots were even at 10 apiece in the opening period.
The Massachusetts defense put on a show in the second, keeping the Terriers off the board thorough 1:29 of a 5-on-3 power play. Winer made seven saves in that span, including four from right above the crease.
But Boston University put up a two-goal lead at 14:05 while on the penalty kill when Bourque lit the lamp, grabbing his second point of the night. Linemates McConnell and Miller assisted on the shorthander. Neither team scored in the waning minutes of the second. At the end of two, shots were 22-18 in favor of the Minutemen.
Bourque added a power play goal at 12:36--his second special teams tally--for the 3-0 lead. Dave Van der Gulik and Miller assisted on the goal.
At the end of regulation, shots were 29-25 in favor of Massachusetts. UMass was 0-for-6 on the power play; B.U. was 2-for-6.
The teams meet again tomorrow night in Boston. It will be the first trip to the new Agganis Arena for the Minutemen. Game time is set for 7 p.m.
Game notes: Peter Trovato played in his 139th career game at UMass on Friday, shattering Jeff Blanchard's (1996-2000) then-school record 138 game stretch ... Friday was Whiteout Night at the Mullins Center ... Gab e Winer played his first game since Merrimack (2/5) due to injury.

Mentoring program for collegiate competition teams
Mentor program for collegiate competition projects
SAE is a leader in demonstrating the importance of major engineering competition projects to engineering education. Colleges around the world have adopted this model and included FSAE and similar competitions as part of their educational program. Despite budget limitations, universities are increasingly moving to major competition projects to develop and demonstrate the engineering skills of their students.
The excitement of building and testing remote controlled airplanes, autonomous underwater vehicles, Mini-Baja and FSAE racecars and other projects attracts students and provides them meaningful experience in team engineering, as well as the opportunity to prove their skills to potential employers. Industrial mentors are needed to team with the faculty advisors in order to ensure the student engineers get the most of these experiences.
Racecar Engineering
Some years ago my 2008 FSAE team prepared Wiki pages with background information for racecar engineering. Those pages were recently rediscovered by our 2012 team. There is a lot of interesting and useful information. Please see the links:
1. Summer 2007 racecar research; and
2. Fall 2007 racecar research.

If there are any who put gifs and flowers on my family or friends interments which are mostly in my Sponserships, I thank you all so very much, and I will also try to do the same for your loved ones.
I also look for duplicates in the cemeteries I put flowers in and I will tell the members about them so they can be deleted .
So if anyone finds duplicates on my interments please let me know.
I use to take request pictures at a few Cemeterys near us, National Cemetery,Forest Lawn, and a few others . There are other members who take up pic requests in this area also .
I really do hope someone takes up the requests you made in Spring Hill and the others .
if I have any interments that I have made in my profile as to date and you see any that may be your family ,please let me know so that I can transfer them to you.
Keep up the good work you and yours do in findagrave .
I have completed my treatments for Radiation and Chemo in this month of Jan 2015. But I will not be helping with pics anymore.
For the familys of any interments in Forest Lawn Cemetery here in Goodlettesville TN where I sometimes I did take requests, the cemetery has a way to have real flowers placed on interments for special occasions 3 times a year for a fee , and if anyone is interested they may call the Forest Lawn office to set it up.
I was informed by the Ladies who run the office in The National Cemetery here in Madison Tennessee that the Kiosk outside the office has the same records in it as the office records have inside , so that means , if the name isnt on the Kiosk then the soldiers are not in this Cemetery. And also there are quite a few unknowns headstones that are interred in the National from the Civil War.
Spring Hill Cemetery is a strict cemetery,I have had problems with office people when I did ask for the locations as a request pic taker , They say only family of interred people there may ask for locations. So if you need a location call office at Spring Hill Cemetery 1-615-865-1101 then say you are family related. Ask for Section#, plot location#, plot#, and grave #. You may need to provide dates. Then add information to the photo request . And if they find the location in the office for you ,ask them to help show whoever comes in for it to go out and help look ,or make a copy of the location on a map , because sometimes it is hard for the pic taker to locate by just the direction itself , whereas the office people may be able to go directly to the grave with them . But make sure you specify someone will come into their offices and you need a family services person to show them where the interment is ,otherwise they may not help.
My photos are for public use and permission to use them are not needed. And your very welcome
Thankyou to all who give me a heads up on my interments if there are things wrong with them in different ways.

Wanda Sosnowski
Sorry about the previous (non) message - I hit enter by mistake.
Thank you for the memorial for Wanda Sosnowski. You have linked a memorial for her second husband, Walter Sosnowski, with not a lot of info, but he has another memorial #10222964. He is buried with his first wife, Lucille. I will submit an edit to link her to him, but can you delete the link to the other memorial?
Thank you!

GOP's Free Ride on Obstruction of Hagel Nomination Shames Press
The title of Eric Boehlert's HuffPo post, "Press Yawns While Partisan Republicans Shred Cabinet Confirmation Process" sews it up nicely. But read on to get the full outrage it ought to provoke in all Americans who believe that both parties have an obligation to negotiate in good faith a reasonable bipartisan consensus. You know, like congress used to do back in the day before the GOP groveled at the feet of its unhinged wingnuttiest flank. Here's some of what Boehlert has to say:
By launching a drawn out campaign against Hagel, Republicans have torn up decades worth of tradition on the Senate Armed Services Committee in terms of working across party lines to confirm secretaries of defense. But according to Politico it's the Democratic chairman who faces a "conundrum" over the lack of "bipartisan spirit" in the Senate. It's the Democrat who has to deal with the "damage" done by Republican maneuvers.
Sometimes it seems the Beltway press will do anything to avoid blaming Republicans for their wildly obstructionist ways. It's a pattern of timidity that has marked Obama's time in Washington, D.C. Indeed, the press for years now has insisted on providing no framework with regards to the radical ways that now define the GOP.
By refusing to hold Obama's opponents accountable, and by actually making media stars out of the ones who actively obstruct, the press simply encourages the corrosive behavior. (By the way, this is the same Beltway press corps that has routinely blamed Obama for not successfully changing the tone in Washington.)
To be fair, there are some fine reporters and columnists inside the beltway who call out the GOP's obstructionism on a regular basis. But overall, Boehlert is right that way too many reporters and their editors, inside the beltway and out, have either bought into the Republican's false equivalency memes or are too lame or lazy to take a stand.
Too many Americans have been numbed by the obstructionism and shrug it off as business as usual. But the problem is actually deepening, as Boehlert explains:
Both in terms of Republican obstructionist behavior and the press' unwillingness to call it what it is, the trend has reached its pinnacle with the current confirmation mess. And it's getting worse. Fox News this week reported Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) was threatening to block a confirmation vote on Jack Lew, selected by the president to be the next secretary of treasury.
Discarding centuries worth of advise-and-consent tradition (i.e. the winning president picks his cabinet), Republicans have radically rewritten the cabinet confirmation rulebook while journalists have stood quietly by, not bothering to inform news consumers about the dramatic shift taking place. Instead, the press treats it all as being commonplace; as just more partisan bickering.
And when not downplaying the ramifications or erroneously suggesting Obama's "picking fights" with "controversial" cabinet picks like Hagel, journalists have bungled the story altogether, giving Republicans political cover in the process.
Boehlert provides other examples and puts the problem in historical context, but adds, "it's never been done with this frequency before in modern American history...We've never seen anything like the coordinated, dubious efforts by outside conservative groups and Republican members in Congress to block Hagel's confirmation. (Or to make sure Rice was never nominated.)...But if you turn on cable news you'll hear a Beltway editor claim "everybody does it."
However, concludes Boehlert, "They didn't. Until now."

City 3
Hiwula (55, 70), King (65)
Ipswich Town 1
Lavery (58)
- Match reports
- 27 August 2011 14:21
- Posted by Emily Brobyn
Two goals from Jordy Hiwula helped City's Under 18s to a confident victory over Ipswich Town in the Barclays Premier Academy League.
For the first 20 minutes the Blues struggled to get into the game at Platt Lane, with 17-year-old Paul Clowes having a penalty saved after Adam Drury was fouled.
Both sides struggled to find their cutting edge to take the lead and the score remained goal-less at half time, despite City dominating possession.
The young Blues continued to press after the break and their determination eventually reaped rewards, with 16-year-old Jordy Hiwule giving City the lead.
The visitors responded with an equaliser moments later before George King made it two. City took command of the game and thoroughly deserved their victory, with Hiwula sealing the win with the third goal.
While the Blues' triumph made it two wins in a row, keeping up their 100 per cent record in the League, Head of Academy Mark Allen remained emphasised it was still early days but admitted he was delighted with the performance.
"It's definitely a pleasing start," Allen said. "It's still very much early doors but it's always good to get off to a great start. It's very satisfying that we've registered two wins. We've got the momentum behind us now so hopefully we can use that and really push on throughout the season."

The Gospel Messenger—November 1892
In accordance with invitations from brethren in Indiana and Illinois, I left North Carolina August 7th to visit some of their Associations arid churches, and returned September 16th. Three days before starting I received a check from a friend in Indiana, which nearly paid my railroad fare to my first appointment—my friend, though not a member of any church, saying that he noticed that I was coming to his State, and he wished to help me on my way, and that he believed that, wherever I went, I would preach the religion of Jesus.
I visited seven Associations—the (1st) White Water, at Greenfield, Ind.; (2d) White Water, near Connersville, Ind.; Lebanon, near Fairmount, Ind.; Conn's Creek, near Southport, Ind.; Danville, near Bainbridge, Ind.; Sandy Creek, near Wenona, Ind.; and the Salem, at Owensville, Ind.; and thirteen churches— Salem (Wayne county, Ind.); East Lebanon (Henry county, Ind.); Rensselaer (Jasper county; Ind.); Antioch (Hamilton county, Ind.); Crawfordville (Montgomery county, Ind.); Mt. Zion (Hendricks county, Ind.); Mt. Tabor (Boone county, Ind.); Salem (Marion county, Ind.); Bethel (Johnson county, Ind.); Pimento (Yigo county, Ind.); and Bethlehem, Bethany and Big Creek (all in Posey county, Ind.); and I spoke in eight towns— Greenfield, Hagerstown, Rensselaer, Crawfordville, Bainbridge, Pimento, Cynthiana, and Owensville (all in Indiana). I tried to preach forty-eight times, including ten times at night. I was asked and attempted to conduct family worship three times—at Franklin and Pimento, and near Cynthiana, Ind. I met with about sixty of our ministers, of whom I heard thirty-eight preach, and eight others pray, or make public remarks.
I was received and treated with the utmost kindness everywhere, and felt very unworthy of the esteem manifested for me by my brethren and sisters. The contributions voluntarily made to me were much more than sufficient to defray the expenses of my trip. Our members In Indiana and Illinois are blessed, in general, with a competency of earthly goods, and delight in dispensing the most unstinted hospitality towards all the friends of truth who visit them at their religious meetings.
The State of Indiana, in which I traveled mostly, and of which I therefore speak the more particularly, is highly favored with a deep and fertile soil, excellent water, extraordinary healthfulness, admirable roads, fine stock, few dogs (because of a tax on them), and many sheep, improved agricultural machinery, an abundance, in some sections, of natural gas well adapted for lighting, heating, and cooking purposes, and for running machinery, good schools, and noble charities, both private and public, for the afflicted poor.
On August 21st, 22d, and 23d, I visited the Columbian Exposition at Chicago—no doubt the most magnificent collection ever made of the natural glories of the world, many of the innumerable and wonderful works of God, and many specimens and works of His greatest earthly creature, man, who, even in his darkness and degeneracy, considers his closest imitation of the works of God his own most perfect work, but who, for the most part, prostitutes his God-given powers to the idolatrous service of self and sin, not thanking, obeying, or honoring his Divine Creator, Preserver, and Benefactor. The Lord Jesus was able to put away all the Satanic and ruinous temptations of worldly glory (Matt. iv. 8-10); and may we, and all His followers, be enabled, by the power of His Spirit, always, in the same way, to rebuke the deceitful and destructive god of this World, and to worship and serve only the Lord our God. In the Anthropology Building the momentous fair was most impressively to be seen that the latest and highest science of the world arranges the fossils of the animal creation in the same order as that given in the first chapter of Genesis, and, like that chapter, makes man the last and highest product of creative power—thus proving that Moses, the author of Genesis, was, 3,400 years ago, divinely inspired to know and describe these great truths that have been ascertained by the intelligent research of men only during the present century. And in the building made to resemble "St. Peter's Cathedral," at Rome, the chief religious edifice of Roman Catholicism, the uniformed and panoplied Swiss Guards, the golden throne of the Pope, the red cloth lining all the inner walls, and the grim swords and halberds (battle axes) hanging against the inside walls, formed a most startling commentary on the seventeenth chapter of Revelation, and proclaimed the fulfillment, in the Roman Catholic so-called "Church," of the divinely-inspired prophecy of "Mystery, Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth," "arrayed in scarlet and decked with gold, and drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus "—identified, in the last verse of that chapter, with Rome, "the great city which," when the book of Revelation was written, "reigned over the kings of the earth." Thus the great lesson to be learned from the World's Fair was the Divine and infallible inspiration of the first and last books of the Bible, and, by consequence, of all the books between them; that the Divine Author of the Bible is the Omniscient God, who knows all the past and all the future, and who is the holy, omnipotent, and eternal Creator, Sovereign, and Judge of the universe.
On account of the benefit that I had providentially derived, during the last two years, from the use of the Electropoise (manufactured and sold for $25 by the Atlantic Electropoise Co.. 1405 New York avenue, Washington, D. C.), and my desire to benefit other sufferers, just as Christ and His Apostles attended to the healing of the diseased body as well as that of the diseased soul, I took an especial interest in the department of Medical Electricity at the Exposition. As is well known by intelligent and well-informed physicians, electricity, which very closely resembles life, is of great value for rapidly curing or relieving both acute and chronic diseases which seem beyond the reach of medicine, especially pain, weakness, and affections of the nerves, sleeplessness, diseases of the eye, ear, head, throat, lungs, heart, spine, liver, stomach, uterus, bowels, and kidneys, and for painless and bloodless surgical operations Among the electro-medical appliances that I found at the Exposition, used and recommended by physicians, were Dr. H. P. Pratt's Pocket Electrical Battery and inhaler (for headache, toothache, earache, neuralgia, nausea, eczema, la grippe, catarrh, deafness, asthma, and insomnia—sold for $5 by the Pratt ElectroMedical Supply Co., Room 610, Masonic Temple, Chicago, Ills., who make also, for physicians and patients, nearly all other electro-medical appliances); and Dr. A. Owen's Electric Belts and Appliances (for the cure or relief of nearly all diseases—sold for from $6 to $30, by the Owen Electric Belt and Appliance Co., 201 State street, Chicago, Ills.) And I found, in use and in great esteem, among some Primitive Baptist ministers' families in Indiana, Prof. Wm. C. Wilson's Actina (Pocket Battery) a generator of ozone, the most powerful and purifying of gases (an instrument both chemical and electrical—for all diseases of the eye, ear, throat, and head, catarrh, hay fever, asthma, neuralgia, and bronchial troubles, and dispensing with the use of spectacles; sold for $10, by the New York and London Electric Association, 1021 Main street, Kansas City, Mo.); and Wilson's Magneto-Conservative Garments (for all diseases; claimed, with the Actina Battery, to have 500,000 patrons in Europe and America; sold at from $38 50 to $158 50 by the same Company). Descriptive circulars may be had of these parties, on application.
On September 20th and 21st 1 had a very pleasant visit, at Evansville, Ind., with my step-brother, Mr. B. E. Jewett (son of my step-mother, Mrs. M. M. Hassell, and her first husband, Eld. Daniel E. Jewett, of New York, who published the Christian Doctrinal Advertiser and Spiritual Monitor from 1831 to 1843), and his wife arid two daughters. He has lived there as a Bookkeeper twenty-five years I was rejoiced to find additional reasons for believing that he is in possession of the same unfeigned faith in the Lord that dwelt in his godly father and grandmother, and that dwells in his devout mother (2 Tim. i. 5), a possession of infinitely more value than all material things.
I was glad to learn, from some figures of the census of 1890 given me by Eld. I. N. Vanmeter, of Illinois, that, as compared with the census of 1880, the Old School or Primitive Baptists, instead of dying out, are increasing considerably in nearly all the States; so that the friends who are kindly waiting to preach our funeral will probably have to postpone their benevolent services for some time to come.
In 1889 a majority of the members of Mount Tabor Regular (or Primitive) Baptist Church, in Boone county, Ind., decided that the preaching of the gospel is a means of quickening dead sinners into spiritual life; and when the minority protested against this departure from the Primitive Baptist faith, and were sustained in their protest by two Councils of Churches and also by the Danville Association (of which Mount Tabor church is a member), the majority assumed to exclude the minority from the church, and to form a new Association called the "Mount Tabor Association" To settle the question as to which party was entitled to the church building and ground, the case was taken to the courts; and the Supreme Court of Indiana, in accordance, as they show, with the uniform decisions of the highest courts of England and the United States, decided, March 15th, 189.3, that a church, no more than a corporation, has any right, without the consent of all its members, to divert its property from its original purpose, and can not, unless by a unanimous vote, change its original faith and practice, and still retain its property; and that the majority in the Mount Tabor church had departed from the original faith of Regular (or Primitive) Baptists, and was therefore not entitled to the property of the church; but that the minority occupied the original doctrinal position of the Regular Baptists, and were therefore entitled to the property. This interesting and valuable decision has been published, and is sold for 25 cents, by Eld. Lemuel Potter, of Fort Branch, Ind. The litigation has been extremely expensive and burdensome to the minority in the Mount Tabor church, who were induced to go into it by the advice of other brethren; and, while principles should never be abandoned, I found a strong sentiment prevailing among many of our most esteemed members in Indiana, as among Primitive Baptists generally elsewhere and heretofore, against the entrance of any of our churches into litigation (Matt. v. 38-42; 1 Cor. vi. 14; James iii. 13-18).
In regard to religious debates with representatives of other denominations, I was glad to find that not only many of our members, but also some of our ministers who have been unwillingly induced to take part in them, doubt their usefulness. The preaching of the gospel to sinners seems to me far more scriptural and important than disputations with enemies of the truth. Such controversies have a natural tendency to degenerate into carnal contentions for victory, and may embitter more than they edify. So far as I am aware, we have no public oral controversies on religious subjects in the Atlantic States.
In the Salem Association, in Southern Indiana, I was informed that our churches, as well as those in some of our Associations in Illinois, have occasional meetings continued a week or ten days, but without any excitement or anxious benches or call for mourners; and that the same scriptural truths are preached by our ministers then as at other times.
I was unspeakably rejoiced to find all our ministers whom I met in Indiana and Illinois contending earnestly for the faith once delivered unto the saints, without any additions thereto or subtractions therefrom, utterly repudiating all the new theories and all the new inventions of men, not philosophizing or explaining the Scriptures away into airy nothingness or delusive fables, under the pretense of spiritualizing them—fully believing and uncompromisingly advocating the great fundamental Bible truths of God's sovereignty, His unconditional predestination and election of His people to eternal life, the total depravity of the natural heart, the necessity of a regenerating change in the sinner by the Spirit of God, salvation by grace alone, the heart-felt obligation of the believer to adorn the profession of his faith with a godly life and conversation, the final perseverance of the saints to glory, the second, literal, personal, visible coming of Christ to this world, the resurrection of the bodies of all the dead, both of the just arid the unjust, the solemn, general, and final judgment of the great day, the everlasting punishment of the wicked, and the everlasting happiness of the righteous.
During the last five years our churches in Indiana have been providentially and graciously delivered from the small Arminian element (Missouri philosophy, which bases the salvation of the sinner on human means) on the one extreme, and the small fatalistic element (Kentucky philosophy, which does not or scarcely saves the sinner at all) on the other extreme, which have long troubled them; and they are now in a condition of greater peace and love and fellowship than they have been in about fifty years before. And I am delighted to be able to add that even our Two-Seed brethren (of whom there is but one Association in Indiana, and two in Illinois) are rapidly losing their half a century's predilection for the men-made, unscriptural, obtuse, conflicting, uncomforting, and sensual theories of an eternal Devil and his eternal seed (Tennessee philosophy), and are seeking to revive a fraternal correspondence with our sound and orderly Associations.
May our heart-felt thanksgiving ascend to the God of Israel for these many blessed evidences of His gracious presence with His people in Indiana and Illinois. SYLVESTER HASSELL.

I'd Rather Be Stuffed In A Suitcase: Airlines' Prospective New Seating Accommodations
Right -- first you take away the complimentary peanuts, and now my legroom? THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! What we need are affordable jetpacks.
Here's a harrowing image: the SkyRider design for new cheapo airplane seats. Clearly designed with cramming as many people as humanly possible onto a plane without much regard for their comfort, it's apparently being looked at by several airlines.
What's next, standing room only? Because I don't care if tickets are only $60 for a cross-country flight, if you think I'm standing the whole damn time you've got another thing coming. Namely, a guy in a wheelchair faking a disability.

The 2014 Rotary Home Golf-A-Thon takes to the fairways and greens of Emerald Links Golf and Country Club on June 9.
The annual event raises funds in support of respite care for young adults living with severe disabilities while giving their families the breaks they need to stay healthy and together.
Men and women players are invited to begin with a hot buffet breakfast, then golf throughout the day, have lunch brought to them on the 27-hole course, participate in fun competitions and complete the event by attending a barbecue steak dinner.
The minimum entry fee for the day is $272. It includes green fees, power cart, the breakfast, lunch and dinner. This total is equivalent to the cost of providing one 24-hour period of care at the Rotary Home for a young adult with physical disabilities.
Organizers encourage each golfer to raise all or part of the $272 in pledges from family and friends. The top three individual golfers and the top team with the most raised in pledges will win fabulous prizes.
Golf-A-Thon participants and sponsors have raised more than $525,000 during the past decade in support of the Ottawa Rotary Home.
Here is the Golf-A-Thon's schedule:
- 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. - Registration and hot buffet breakfast. Collection of cash/cheque donations and pledge forms.
- 9 a.m. - Tee off, rain or shine.
- Noon - Lunch will be served on the course. Water and soft drinks will be provided throughout the day.
- 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. - Silent Auction
- 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Barbecue steak dinner and raffle.
Emerald Links is a 27-hole bent grass track featuring mature wooded areas dotted by lakes and ponds. Sixteen of the 27 holes have water in play and there are more than 75 bunkers lining the fairways or bordering the greens.

I don't know what to say
You kick me away
Roll me into a ball
Then you kick me away
Oh so far away
But when I reach the wall
Cause I, am scared beyond
I think that you're to blame
When all I feel is hurt
It makes me want to go further
Further, roll right over you
I go further, further, roll right
over you
I don't know what to say
You kick me away
Roll me into a ball
Then you kick me away
Oh so far away
But when I reach the wall
Cause I've got my friends, we
get high they think she's shit,
who'd wonder why
When we hang around, you
drag me down
I can't look up you're all around
I keep falling down

Right Stuff
AB&J? Don't laugh. Why limit yourself to peanut butter, when other nut butters are there for the tasting?
Take Whole Foods 365 Almond Butter.
The ingredient list? Dry-roasted almonds. That's it. You won't even find the few grams of added sugars or partially hydrogenated or palm oils that are added to some nut butters. (Without added oils, the almond butter's oil may separate, so you'll have to stir it before using. But it's worth the 15 seconds.)
The rich, intense flavor of roasted almonds doesn't even need salt to rouse your taste buds. So you skip the sodium that's in most other almond butters (50 to 100 milligrams in every two-tablespoon serving) or peanut butters (120 to 250 mg). Tip: Whole Foods and many other stores now carry unsalted brands of peanut butter.
Almond butter is a good source of vitamin E (35 percent of the Daily Value in two tablespoons), calcium (9 percent), and protein (16 percent). And 365 Almond Butter has just 1 gram or so of saturated fat because nearly all of its fat is unsaturated—the kind that lowers cholesterol.
It's not as cheap as peanut butter. And, like PB, two level tablespoons pack roughly 200 calories, so you'll need to spread a thin layer—not a thick shmear—on your toast instead of butter or margarine.
Try a little on a sandwich with sliced bananas. Or use some as a dip for sliced apples or pears. Or stir a bit into a bowl of oatmeal or other hot cereal. Or mix a little into a balsamic vinaigrette for a quick sauce for steamed vegetables.

"Your choice of grilled steak, juicy chicken, shrimp, or a combo of two on a skillet that sizzles," says the menu. "Served with lettuce, sour cream, pico de gallo, sautéed onions, red peppers, fire roasted poblanos, and shredded white cheddar cheese."
Applebee's Sizzling Skillet Fajitas don't sound unhealthy. What could be wrong with grilled chicken or shrimp, veggies, flour tortillas, and a bit of sour cream and cheese? Not much...if you don't mind 1,040 calories (shrimp) or 1,150 calories (chicken) or 1,180 calories (steak) plus 22 or 24 grams of saturated fat (more than a day's worth) and 4,570 or 5,330 mg of sodium (at least a three-day supply) for dinner. Then there's the rice that comes on the side (260 calories and 1,790 mg of sodium).
In case that's not enough to fill you up, for just 99 cents more you can add guacamole (50 calories and 150 mg of sodium). Nice.
Why so much sat fat in chicken or shrimp? Like many Mexican restaurants, Applebee's adds butter to its fajitas. And don't forget the four white-flour tortillas, which probably contribute some 500 calories and 1,000 mg of sodium to your meal.
Restaurants must think they're cheating customers who get fewer than 1,000 calories per dish. What? You should walk away hungry?
Our advice: Get your fajitas without butter, hold the sour cream, cheese, and rice, and eat just two tortillas. Better yet, split the dish with a friend.
Maybe if restaurants start selling one entrée for every two diners, the fajita fad will finally fizzle.
