REVIEW: Serendipity by Carly Phillips
Serendipity is a really cute, fun contemporary romance and the first book I've read by Carly Phillips. Ethan Barron is back in his home town, Serendipity, after running from his problems years before. He's different now, he has a large house on the hill, large amounts of money in his bank account and a mature heart. He wants to put things right. Faith Harrington is also back in Serendipity, but her family fortune has diminished, her father is a criminal, she's embarrassed but wants to start again, she just hopes the people of the town will let her.
Ethan bumps into Faith outside his new house, which used to be Faith's family home. When they were in their teens they had one brief kiss, albeit a very memorable one, but Faith turned him down when he wanted more. Seeing each other again they realise that the passion they felt many years before is still there, and sparks fly.
I loved these two characters. Faith is sweet, a little vulnerable because of what her father did. She's still finding it difficult to come to terms with it herself and her mother is no help, shutting herself away, still with the allusion that she is a wealthy woman, and better than everyone else. To say these two ladies are like chalk and cheese is an understatement. Faith is a caring woman, with a big heart, and this is shown time and again with things she says and does. I admire her so much for going back to her home town to face all the people her father destroyed by his criminal ways. Instead of hiding away, she lifts her head up high and gets on with building her new interior design business.
I admire Ethan just as much. He was a bit of a bad-boy in his youth, and although he's older and wiser Faith can see he still holds on to a little bit of that, and it drives her crazy – in a good way. Ethan ran out on his younger brothers when they needed him and he's never forgiven himself. They haven't forgiven him either, and their relationship is difficult at the best of times. He wants to put things right, but he doesn't quite know how.
Faith and Ethan's relationship starts off as just a bit of fun. They flirt, have a couple of sexy-times, but then they both begin to have feelings for each other and are scared. Especially Faith. She has just left behind a messy divorce and doesn't want to jump into another relationship.
Then something happens that brings them even closer together. Ethan suddenly finds himself leaning on Faith for strength and support, and Faith finds herself wanting to give it. But there are a few obstacles in their way to prevent it being smooth sailing. They have to deal with a life changing addition to Ethan's family, Ethan's brothers, Faith's mother, her father's further insult to injury when an interview with him is published, as well as fending off a the people who were hurt by her father. But all this turmoil combined with a steamy romance made a great combination. The relationships between characters felt real and life-like.
Serendipity may be my first Carly Phillips book, but it certainly won't be my last. I really like her writing style and hope to read more in this series very soon.
A cute romance with substance, Serendipity is a great summer read.

Alex Rodriguez May Avoid MLB Lifetime Ban Via Deal
Doping brings another sport superstar down!
Alex Rodriguez is the latest sports superstar to be embroiled in a doping scandal. What makes this even a bigger story is that he has the largest contract ever in American sports, at $275 million over 10 years, signed with the Yankees in 2007.
He previously admitted to using banned substances in the early 2000s and then there are the newer allegations this past year of having used performance-enhancing drugs.
Drugs and sports are another thing all together. As opposed to drinking and blogging. If blogging white under the influence of vodka was illegal I'd be in deep shit, but fortunately for me, that is not the case.
A lawyer for New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez and Major League Baseball officials are reportedly negotiating a settlement deal that would result in a lengthy suspension for three-time MVP instead of a permanent ban.
[midpostembed id="6943230″ type="gallery" title="alex and cameron diaz work it out"]According to ESPN, a source familiar with the talks said the talks are ongoing, though MLB officials have told Rodriguez's attorneys that they are willing to kick A-Rod out of the game for life for his role in the sport's latest drug scandal.
Plain and simple, doping is just wrong because it gives athletes an unfair advantage. Everyone needs to be one the same playing field so to speak.
The only advantage a couple martini's gives me is coming up with clever ways of using expletives. That said, I could probably come up with them while sober, but martini's are yummy!
What do you think? Should Alex Rodriguez be banned from baseball for life? Sound off in the comments below.

What are the economics behind home brewing? I mean compared to buying "X" commercial brand beer and setting aside the "hobby" added value that this may have? Please help!
What are the economics behind home brewing? I mean compared to buying "X" commercial brand beer and setting aside the "hobby" added value that this may have? Please help!
Because I am such a sad individual I wrote a rather elaborate spreadsheet to document my spendings, because I was bored and I like to tinker. in my defence I use it a bit like a diary.
I'm not a heavy brewer (yet) and I am relatively new, but here are my figures.
I have saved £8 ($13)...
It should be noted that this saving of £8 ($13) signifies that I have just recently crossed over the threshold of where my savings have now matched the start up cost of my equipment.
So it is just saving from here onwards!!!!
but I fully agree that it is all about the hobby, which also slightly explains, why I made the over top spreadsheet... just coz i can! :)
below is overview table from the spreadsheet.
The brews that run at a lost was coz I had to throw them down the drain and I wouldn't have paid for a commercial version.
If you mean "is it less expensive to brew your own beer", I'd say not usually, although it will depend to some extent on where you live and the price of beer there. Sure, you can make very low cost beers that may end up less expensive, but they may not be the beer you want to drink. There are ways to cut costs by buying ingredients in bulk, or reusing your yeast for several batches. But in general, you shouldn't think of homebrewing as a way to save money any more than you should think of buying a fishing boat as a way to save money on food.
In Canada, where I live, beer, wine and spirits are heavily taxed. Good craft beer costs between $6 and $9 per liter. My homebrewed beer costs around $1 per liter in ingredients. (I buy malt and hops in bulk, and I reuse yeast across a number of batches.) Suppose I go through 200 liters in a year, that's a savings of at least $1,000. Of course, I've spent some money on equipment, but that cost can be amortized across its useful lifetime, which is many years.
Going to add another Canadian response to complement Tobias'.
Here, even cheap bear is expensive. The lowest legal price beer can be sold for here (Ontario) is $29.35 per 24 standard longneck bottles. That is where the very bottom-of-the-barrel cheap beers site. Think Lucky Lager, Lakeport (Lakewater) etc. This is $1.22 per bottle.
If you want a 'premium' beer like Coors Light, you are looking at ~$1.50. Last time I bought Coors Light (hey - sometimes you need a generic inoffensive beer to bring somewhere), it cost $36 for 24 bottles before tax.
Decent craft beer runs between $1.75-$3 per bottle. Some are even higher.
Right now, I can make a batch of decent extract beer for ~$30-$40, depending on how much I spend on ingredients. This makes ~55 bottles, so anywhere from $0.54-$0.77 / bottle depending on the recipe. And I would rate this in the same ballpark quality-wise as the craft beers available, at least to my tastes.
So, to summarize, I can make beer that is to me as good as many of the available craft beer for less than half the cost of the cheapest beer available for sale.
This means that I save $20-$30 per batch I brew, even compared to the cheapest beer I can buy. It doesn't take long to recoup the initial investment in equipment at that rate.
Where I live in the US, I'd say a typical home-brewed beer still costs about 60% [in ingredients alone] of what it would cost to just buy the beer. It can easily cost less than that to brew, but it can easily cost much more than buying beer, as well, if you really want to get crafty or make something good/special.
On the other hand, you didn't say you were brewing ale or malt liquor specifically, so consider that you can make alcohol-containing beverages with just yeast, water, and sugar. Those three ingredients can be acquired quite cheaply or even for free sometimes.
Well, homebrewing has not been cheap for me. I spent well in excess of $5000 on my brewery and probably the same again in kegs and other equipment. But I have a room where I can brew comfortably, and have the equipment to serve it so it's at it's best. I enjoy for the most part the beer that I make. I still drink bottled beers, and often find I prefer my own brew.
For me, homebrewing was never about saving cash, but for being able to brew interesting and enjoyable beer.
But if you are just looking to make a drinkable session beer, a batch of beer can be impressively inexpensive and quick turn around when brewing all grain, and much less expensive than brewing with extract. At a guess, I can probably brew 20 liters of beer for less than $20.
So far, all I buy are the prepackaged extract kits and I am very happy with them (and so are my lucky friends).
not including the equipment, the boxed ingredients cost me between $25-$35 depending on the recipe and so far, my favorites are the ones hovering around $25.
I net about 2 cases from this. That;s about 6.25 to 8.75 a 12-pack for beer that tastes better to me than comperably beers. In the stores, lower quality beers go for $12-$15 for a 12-pak.
For me, I usually disregard economics when I am homebrewing. How come?
Well, most of the homebrew beers I make are clones of styles that I cannot get in Oregon. For example, New Glarus Spotted Cow. Since I cannot get these brews where I live, the cost of making them is nil (or even more expensive since I would have to drive to the location to pick up the beer).
Just wanted to throw that thought into the mix.

The aptly named Spirit Square, located in the heart of downtown Charlotte, is one of the city's premiere community facilities for the performing arts and arts education. Part of the North Carolina Blumenthal Performing Arts Center, the center takes seriously its commitment to community education, and offers a wide variety of classes and outreach programs. The Spirit Square complex comprises not only two active theater spaces--the Loonis McGlohan and Duke Energy Theatres--but offices, classrooms, and six art galleries as well. Theatre, music, and dance all come alive here.
The building that now houses the Loonis McGlohan Theatre originally began life as the First Baptist Church of Charlotte. Constructed in 1909, the church's most striking features are a Byzantine dome similar to Madison Square Presbyterian Church in New York, and several remarkable stained-glass windows. There had been some concern at the time the structure was built that the acoustics in the sanctuary might not be adequate to hear sermons, but they did work, and quite well. The sermons apparently reverberated throughout the sanctuary, and the sound of church music filled the space as well.
In the early 1970s, the church congregation relocated to a new home elsewhere in downtown Charlotte, and the city acquired the building. It was initially scheduled for demolition, but a group of community leaders rallied enough support for the old church to save it from destruction. The building was carefully restored to preserve and enhance its unique architectural details, and was eventually renovated into the 720-seat McGlohan Theatre, which opened in 1976. The Theatre, along with the rest of Spirit Square, was added to the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center in 1997.
Today, the theatre offers a wide variety of attractions including both drama and music, carrying on the tradition of its namesake. Loonis McGlohan was a native North Carolinian, a gifted pianist and composer who performed throughout the United States and in numerous countries throughout the world. A graduate of East Carolina University, McGlohan had a long and illustrious career as a radio/television producer as well as a musician and composer. His songs have been recorded and performed by many entertainers, including Frank Sinatra, Rosemary Clooney, and Judy Garland. He collaborated with the late Charles Kuralt on a word-and-music tribute to his home state--North Carolina Is My Home--and with fellow composer Alec Wilder on numerous other songs.
Even though McGlohan could very easily have made an even bigger name for himself in the New York music scene, North Carolina truly was his home. He returned there after his travels to become an important civic leader, championing numerous worthy causes in his community. Mr. McGlohan passed away at his home in Charlotte in 2002, and the McGlohan Theatre honors the man known by many as one of Charlotte and North Carolina's musical treasures.
While a great deal is known about Mr. McGlohan and the theater that bears his name, not as much is known about the ghost or ghosts that supposedly haunt it. There have been reports of the sounds of people walking around in the church/theater when the building was closed and no one but an employee or two was present. Other employees have noted that sometimes when they are in the sub basement of the building, they can hear singing above. These both have the sound of residual hauntings--the echo of sounds trapped in the "fabric" of the building from the days when the church congregation gathered and sang in the sanctuary, and that are simply being "replayed." Or perhaps the singers had enjoyed the remarkable acoustics in the church so much that they've returned to enjoy them again!
However, not all the unusual activity in the building can be attributed to a residual haunting. Jeff Weeks, a theater technician who worked briefly at Spirit Square, had this story to tell:
"I was setting up one night in the theater for 'Monday Movie Night,' and was walking towards the elevator so that I could go into the basement and retrieve the equipment I needed. Before I could even get to the elevator, though, I noticed that it had already started on its way up from the basement on its own, and the doors opened for me just as I arrived--I didn't even touch the button to call it. I thought that perhaps someone down below had sent it up, but when I took the elevator down, there was no one else there, I gathered the equipment I needed and walked back to the elevator--once again, it was there waiting for me, and the doors opened for me as I came up to them. I was glad I didn't have to mess with the doors myself, but it just seemed odd!"
A performance in the McGlohan Theatre is truly beautiful in both sight and sound. With the church's original stained glass windows and the dome overhead, there is a feeling of both the sacred and the secular combined. Between the church's original patrons and the kind-hearted McGlohan, it seems only natural that the spirit of Spirit Square, whomever it may be, would be glad to lend a helping hand.

So I just finished up with assembling the Kappa frame for my girlfriend. If she likes it, I'm gonna have the braze-ons for the sissy bar added to the stays and then have the frame re-powdercoated. Also, tomorrow the Redline straight seatpost will come in to replace the current layback post. Eventually, I'll get a different banana seat and new wheels too.

Cosmetic Dentistry for Better Teeth
We all get obsessive about our skin, monitoring every incipient line, splotch, and hint of sagginess. But we don't always give that kind of scrutiny to our teeth. "Our teeth age, just as our skin does," says Jeff Golub-Evans, DDS, of the New York Center for Cosmetic Dentistry. "Most people don't even notice the changes until you point them out in the dentist's chair."
Fortunately, the signs of wear, tear, and time on your teeth can be much easier to reverse than the ones on your skin. "I have many patients who walk in thinking their next stop is the plastic surgeon's office," says Michael Apa, DDS, a cosmetic dentist in New York City, "and they find they can wait indefinitely." The trick is pinpointing the procedures that will make the biggest difference. Here, our beginner's guide to improving your smile.
Age Change: Shorter Front Teeth
Why:Teeth wear down with use. "By the time you reach 40, the two upper front center teeth are as much as two millimeters shorter than they were in your 20s," Golub-Evans says.
How It Ages You:"When you smile and reveal little or no top teeth, you can look toothless," Golub-Evans says. "As your teeth shorten, they can also cause your lips to sag inward, creating a thin, tight-looking smile — instead of the fuller, softer look you have when you're younger."
How to Fix It:Your dentist can elongate the front teeth slightly with bonding or, more dramatically, porcelain veneers. With bonding, tooth-colored material is applied and hand-sculpted to the teeth by the dentist. Veneers are thin porcelain jackets that cover the front of teeth. Whichever method they use, good dentists are adept at choosing colors that will complement those of your natural teeth. Teeth aren't actually white; they're slightly yellow with a tiny bit of blue just before the edge. "We're using shades of white that have some blue and even yellow in them," notes Marty Zase, DMD, a dentist with an emphasis on cosmetic dentistry, in Colchester, Connecticut. "Natural is always more flattering than matte, stark white, which not only looks artificial, it's like you're trying too hard to look younger."
What It's Like:"Bonding was a no-brainer," says a 44-year-old therapist from Wilton, New Hampshire. "After an hour and a half, I walked out with younger, whiter teeth." Veneers require two, sometimes three appointments, and one of them will be a bit grueling. "Your teeth have to be ground down," says Wendy Lewis, 48, a coauthor of America's Cosmetic Doctors and Dentists. "When I had mine done, it didn't hurt, but I was very aware of the temporaries, which also felt weird when I ran my tongue over them. Once the permanents were in, the end result was beautiful."
Caveats:If your dentist will be treating just the two front teeth, it's important to ask about how their colors will look. "We can lighten what's already there to make them blend or choose a natural shade for the cosmetic work," Zase says.
Age Change: Worn-Down Teeth
Why:Wear and tear smoothes and flattens tooth edges and surfaces.
How It Ages You:The tiny ripples at the bottom of your teeth, and the slight ridges on their surface, give your teeth dimension, character, and youthfulness. When they wear down, "your teeth look square, boxy, and unnatural," says Ada S. Cooper, DDS, a dentist in private practice in New York City.
How to Fix It:Most cosmetic dentists recommend veneers. "Porcelain veneers are created from a mold of your own teeth," says Zase, "so you can get a lot of the detail back."
What It's Like:Depending on how many of your teeth you want to correct, you'll sit through two and often three appointments lasting an hour to two hours each. But you'll be able to correct most aesthetic concerns: color, position, shape, and texture.
Fix Crooked and Chipped Teeth
Age Change: Crooked Teeth
Why:Over time, teeth begin to shift position and angle inward. "Fewer than 10 percent of us have teeth in the same position in our 50s as we did in our 20s," Golub-Evans says. "And that includes adults who had braces when they were younger."
How It Ages You:As your teeth move inward, they provide less support to your cheeks and lips, creating a hollowed, gaunt appearance. "Crooked teeth can look more severe on an older face than on someone in their teens or even 20s," Golub-Evans says.
How to Fix It:You have two choices: braces or veneers. "Many patients who are not thrilled with the idea of veneers are opting for Invisalign braces," Golub-Evans says. "These clear acrylic molds gradually move your teeth back into position. They're noticeable from only a few feet away. One of my patients, who is in TV news, even wore them on the air."
If you want the additional perks of whitening and reshaping, you can realign your teeth with porcelain veneers. You'll also be adding a little extra bulk to the teeth to support facial tissue. "When you fill out your teeth a bit with bonding and veneers, it may pull the smile back up, like a mini lift," Golub-Evans says.
What It's Like:"I used the braces because other than the fact that my teeth were crooked, they were in very good condition," says a 43-year-old salon owner in Louisville, Kentucky. "Most people didn't notice the braces until they came right up to me. It took about nine months to get all of my teeth where they belonged, but it was worth it."
Caveats:While Invisalign braces are a popular choice, keep in mind that they correct only position. "I have people finish up braces and then realize that they also want bleaching," Apa says. "And then they wonder if they really should have had veneers in the first place. Just make sure you've fully explored how your expectations will match up with the results."
Age Change: Chips and Cracks
Why:Thinning enamel and years of wear can cause fine cracks on the surface of your teeth.
How It Ages You:Cracks trap food and beverage particles that can darken and stain teeth.
How to Fix It:Consider bonding, veneers, or crowns.
What It's Like:Applying a crown requires two visits: one for making the mold and applying a temporary, and the other to apply the finished crown. You will most likely need novocaine at at least one visit, because a relatively deep crack can expose nerves.
Caveats:Crowns are the longest-lasting dental restoration — up to 20 years, as opposed to about seven years for bonding. Keep that in mind when doing the cost-benefit analysis of the two procedures.
Get Whiter Teeth
Age Change: Your Dental Work Discolors
Why:"We think of them as being permanent, but most crowns, fillings, and bridges last 10 to 15 years," Apa says. "They darken and discolor over time, just like real enamel."
How It Ages You:When you smile, you get a rainbow effect; that multihued jumble of discolored crowns, darkened fillings, and your own teeth is an instant ager.
How to Fix It:Replace and upgrade your old dental work. "Because so many materials have improved during the past 10 years, you'll be amazed at how much better these corrections can look," Golub-Evans notes. "You can opt for invisible porcelain fillings, more translucent crowns, and maybe a bleaching treatment to even everything out."
What It's Like:"It took two visits to replace three crowns and my old metal fillings," says a 48-year-old pharmaceutical executive in Summit, New Jersey. "It looked as good as veneers because everything was uniform."
Caveats:Since your goal is undetectable dentistry, you may want to whiten your own teeth first and then choose whiter, brighter dental restorations. If you don't choose to whiten, selecting toned-down shades for your replacement dentistry will keep everything in the same color family. "Either way," Cooper says, "you'll be amazed at how much better your smile looks when everything blends together."
Age Change: Yellow or Dark Teeth
Why:Over the years, your teeth's protective enamel thins, becoming less white and more prone to stains. That means the yellowish internal part of the tooth, the dentin, begins to show through the enamel. The pulp inside the tooth may or may not shrink: if it does, it adds to the darkness.
How It Ages You:"The combination of thinning enamel and stains," Zase explains, "makes your teeth look gray."
How to Fix It:Bleaching may be the answer. To test whether it will work for you, hold a piece of printer paper up to your teeth under incandescent light. If your teeth are yellow compared with the paper, you should get good results from bleaching. "You can often get nine or 10 shades lighter with a custom-made tray for home use or an in-office bleaching appointment," Golub-Evans says. "But you can also get good results from over-the-counter strips. They're a milder version of the active ingredient we're using in the office — around eight percent, as opposed to 15 or 20 percent — and they can often take you six shades lighter."
If your teeth look brown when you use the paper test, it means that both internal and external changes are responsible for the discoloration and your results from bleaching won't be as dramatic. It may even turn your teeth slightly gray. And if your teeth look gray with the paper test, the change is caused by internal trauma, and bleaching won't do a thing. You'll need veneers or bonding if you want to make your teeth look white again.
What It's Like:In-office peroxide bleaching, with or without a laser (in the laser procedure, a light activates the bleaching chemicals), takes about an hour and is relatively painless, unless you have sensitive or receding gums. "In that case, the doctor can protect sensitive areas with a gel mask or avoid treating those areas with peroxide — but you may feel some stinging," Zase says. Bleaching can also make your teeth temporarily sensitive to temperature; this will resolve in a day or two after the whitening session. If you opt to use custom-made trays for at-home bleaching, you'll have to sit through one appointment so the doctor can create molds, but then you can use the trays indefinitely. "You wear them every night for an hour or more for two weeks. Though some people don't have the patience and others find it a bit uncomfortable, it works just as well as the in-office treatments," Golub-Evans says.
Caveats:Ask your doctor to show you on a color chart just how light your teeth may get from bleaching. "Even though I got a few shades lighter," Lewis says, "it wasn't as big a transformation as I'd envisioned for $1,500."
Laser bleaching is certainly more expensive, but is it necessarily better? "As long as the dentist is experienced, you'll get similar results from any of the methods," Golub-Evans says.
Resist overdoing it with home bleaching systems. "People try to get better results by wearing the products for longer than directed or by using them too frequently," Zase says. "Not only can that cause gum irritation and tooth sensitivity, but overwhitening can also make the teeth look bluer or more translucent, especially along the edges."
The Price of a Younger Smile
Over-the-counter strips, about $40 for a two-weeks supply; at-home whitening system, $200 to $500; in-office bleaching, $300 to $2,000
$500 to $750 per tooth; restorations last three to five years
About $3,000 to $6,000
$1,200 to $2,500 per tooth
Porcelain Fillings
About $850 to $1,600 each; lasts 10 to 15 years
Porcelain Veneers
$1,000 to $3,000 per tooth; lasts 15 to 20 years
The Dental Mini-Lift
Your skin looks tighter, your lips fuller, your smile wider — without a single incision or a nanosecond of healing downtime: Say hello to the dental mini lift. "No matter what your age, a good cosmetic dentist can help play down certain features and enhance others just by strategically shaping and contouring your teeth," says Anthony Vocaturo, DDS, a cosmetic dentist in private practice in Bayonne, New Jersey.
Basically, your dentist uses bonding material, crowns, or veneers to build up some of the teeth along the sides of your mouth. The number of teeth treated depends on your facial structure and the condition of your teeth. (Often the bottom teeth don't need to be built up. If you think of how a face "hollows," it's more pronounced in the upper regions.)
"At our office, many patients try this procedure before they consider plastic surgery," Golub-Evans says. "Adding some bulk to the front surfaces of the top side teeth widens the smile, softens nasal labial lines, and perks up the midsection of the face. Depending on how much we build up the outer corners, it can also give you a softening of lipstick lines and turn the corners of the mouth up."
"My friends all thought I had done something surgical," says one New Yorker in her 50s who underwent the bonding procedure. "I really felt as if I had erased five to 10 years in an afternoon." And a woman from Long Island, whose dentist used veneers, reports: "I looked like I just had the nap of my life. Everything moved up a bit."
Have a clear idea of a budget when you walk into the dentist's office. And if you find a doctor who uses computer imaging, you'll be able to see a realistic picture of the results you can achieve with the amount of money you want to spend.
How to Choose a Cosmetic Dentist
"There is no legal definition of a cosmetic dentist, and too many dentists, seeing the promise of huge profits, are venturing into the field without so much as a single seminar on the subject," warns Michael Apa, DDS, a cosmetic dentist in New York City. Both the American Dental Association (ada.org) and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentists (aacd.com) have stringent credentials programs and provide lists of local doctors on their Web sites. "You're looking for a dentist who does cosmetic work on a regular basis, not someone who does veneers or bonding occasionally," Zase says. Here, other key things to consider.
Ask to see before and after photographsof a dentist's patients to make sure you like the results. Specifically ask whether the doctor took the photos and didn't just download them from the Internet. "If all the photos are similar 8-by-10 glossies, they may have been purchased," Golub-Evans warns.
Ask which lab the doctor usesfor creating veneers and crowns, and ask to see several samples. "The dentist can't create the final product on his own," Apa notes. "It's also his ceramicist, the one who makes the restorations, who makes a difference."
Inquire whether the dentist has performed cosmetic restorationon anyone on the office staff, so you can see the results. Or ask if any patients who had procedures similar to the ones you're considering would be willing to talk with you.
When you go for your consultation, bring photos of smiles you like and smiles you don't with you. Ask the dentist for his or her opinion. It's all about collaboration. "Everyone has different tastes and cultural biases," Golub-Evans notes. "In cosmetic dentistry, success for the patient is as much about style as it is fit and comfort."

For springtime, it sure is pretty cold in Middle Tennessee. But folks in the Nashville area have a great option. Local musician, singer and songwriter Mike Broward (touted by Nashville's Gary Allen to be The Nashville Underground Jam's own Jimmy Buffett) recently released another Trop-Rock offering titled "Island Getaway". Listeners can take that late-winter/early-spring visit to the islands without leaving Music City.
For years, Mike has been one of the more talented guitarists to attend the various incarnations of the Play It Again Jam. Other guitarists' ears always perked up whenever he took a solo, and now this latest CD offers the rest of the world an opportunity to hear his expertise in brilliant clarity. In short, the CD—engineered at Off The Row Studios, in Franklin, TN—is even more clean and professional than Broward's earlier offering "Margaritas and Moonshine", and that's saying a lot.
Mike avoids sameness and repetition, touching on every style from Trop-Rock to The Blues. His talent of playing his guitar with tasteful articulation is mirrored by the execution of his own lyrics. He is one singer/songwriter whose lyrics come thru clear as a bell.
On the Mike Broward website, there is this about his newest CD:
"All the best stories are but one story in reality - the story of escape. It is the only thing, which interests us all and at all times, how to escape. "- A. C. Benson
"I sell escapism." - Jimmy Buffett
Mike Broward's latest CD, Island Getaway, is founded along these guiding lines. Centered in the theme of escape and the tropics, this album weaves it's way through everyday mundane experience of the job and boss and a way to feel good about them, to the sheer joy of getting away to a more relaxed, laid back lifestyle.
There is a longing for the tropics and a need to lose one's self, expressed in a spicy stew of rock, blues, and pure Trop-Rock escapism.
From the opening track," Little Miss Sunshine", a bright island ode to love-at-first-sight, to the single entertainers eternal question of what to do next in "What Would Jimmy Do?" this collection maintains a balance of energy, rocking tempos and an absolutely fun, positive vibe.
Recorded with the "A" list of studio session players in one of Nashville's best-kept secrets, Off The Row Studios, this work comes to life with stellar musicianship and wonderful production.
Starting next month, Mike will be touring from one corner of the US to the next; from Seattle to Key West and many points in between. There is, however, a credible rumor that he is seriously planning the creation of a four-piece band in Nashville, to grace those of us in Music City with a live-band version of his personal blend of good-time sounds. Stay tuned to this channel for updates.
You can also contact Mike, learn more about him, view his photos and videos, check his itinerary for the coming months or listen to tracks from Island Getaway by going to musicmike.net.

The passing of Steve Jobs this week got me thinking of another iconic American CEO who was also loved by consumers the world over.
Before I reveal his identity, I have to say that Steve Jobs has been compared (this week) to Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, in their contributions to our modern lifestyle.
Steve Jobs I believe, surpasses these gentlemen because of a personal connection he had with his audience – the consumer. How many deceased CEO's can you name that have had the general public laying wreaths at their doors? Not only do their customers not mourn their passing, they really aren't aware they even passed. When the day comes that Bill Gates meets his maker, will he see the same outpouring of love? I wonder. For all that critics say about consumerism, you have to admit, even they were silenced this week. This is the epitome of a super brand, where both the corporate brand and the personal brand of the visionary are perfectly aligned with their buying audience.
The other American icon that I believe shares the same love that Steve Jobs has, is Walt Disney. He was an independent thinker, and he developed amazing things, ignoring those who thought he was nuts. Walt Disney's passing was met with the same level of sadness and admiration for his achievements. We need visionaries like Walt and Steve to help us rise about the mediocre.
Take a look at your own brand. If you passed away tonight, would your customers miss you? Could they replace you easily? If so, what do you have to do to build your brand into something iconic with your stakeholders? Does your brand relationship change lives? Your brand doesn't have to be as massive as Steve, or Walt's to resonate with stake holders. You only have to make your passion contagious and provide an experience that makes it a pleasure to interact with you.
Maybe the next Steve Jobs or Walt Disney is you!

TigerBlog On Donn Cabral's Olympic Race
It isn't easy for Donn Cabral '12 to build on an already-historic few months, but the 2012 NCAA champion and Roper Trophy recipient did it again Friday morning. Now he will race for Olympic gold.
Cabral took the immediate lead in the third of three morning heats and held position until the final lap. As the bell rang, several steeplers challenged for one of the top four positions and automatic berths into the final. Algerian Mohamed Belabbas took the lead momentarily. Cabral dropped back into fifth on the final water pit but used his kick in the final straight away to push back into the critical fourth position.
Ethiopia's Roba Gari won the heat at 8:20.68, followed by Kenya's Exekiel Kemboi at 8:20.97. Morroco's Hamid Ezzine was just ahead of Cabral at 8:21.25, while Cabral crossed at 8:21.46. Click here to watch a replay of the race
USA's Evan Jager will also run in the final after taking second in the first heat at 8:16.61. A total of 15 will run for Olympic gold on Sunday, Aug. 5 at 4:25 p.m. EDT.
Soccer alumna Diana Matheson '08 and Team Canada defeated Great Britain 2-0 Friday night in Coventry, England to win a knockout-stage game for the first time in team history in just its second Olympic appearance. The Canadians were felled by the Americans 2-1 in overtime in the quarterfinal round in 2008.
The Americans are who the Canadians will meet again, as the North American neighbors meet for the third time this year in Monday's 2:45 p.m. EDT semifinal. France and Japan are in the other semi. The U.S. is Canada's most-played opponent in team history, and the Americans have owned the series to the tune of a 43-3-5 record. That includes two meetings this year, with a 4-0 win in the CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament final in Vancouver on January 29, as well as a 2-1 win in a pre-Olympic friendly in Utah on June 30. Canada's last win over the U.S. was in March 2001 at the Algarve Cup in Portugal, two years before Matheson's first appearance with Team Canada.
Six Princetonians will be in action on Saturday, including Glenn Ochal '08, who will race for gold in the men's fours at 6:30 am EDT. After winning its semifinal, the Americans will come out of lane 3 in the final (Germany, Australia, USA, Great Britain, Greece, Netherlands).
Gevvie Stone '07 will also row in the morning. She will compete in the single sculls 'B' final at 6 am EDT in lane 4 (Germany, Sweden, Russia, USA, Lithuania, Azerbaijan).
Epee standouts Maya Lawrence '02 and Susannah Scanlan '14 will combine forces in the team epee competition, which opens at 5:30 am. The USA will open against Italy; during the individual competition, Lawrence went 1-1 against Italian opponents.
Both Julia Reinprecht '14 and Katie Reinprecht '13 will lead the USA field hockey team into a must-win game against New Zealand at 2 pm EDT. The USA, which has lost two one-goal games, is currently fifth in its pool, but it can make up ground with a win against New Zealand, which is 2-1 in pool play.

After resisting for a while I finally got hold of my first tablet: a Lenovo Ideapad A1. I bought it to perform the following tasks:
- Remote control for my XBMC setup at home.
- Read PDFs on the sofa, in bed, etc.
- Have a viable alternative to the laptop in limited-mobility environments such as airport terminals, airplane/train/bus seats, etc. All I wanted in these circumstances was to read PDF documents, edit notes and todo lists, etc.
The price is astonishingly cheap: 155 €. What you get:
- A 7" tablet with a weight of ~400 g. You can hold it for hours without tiring your hands.
- Texas Instruments 3622 processor, 1 GHz clockspeed, 512 Mb RAM, 16 Gb Flash memory. Swift enough for most routine applications.
- Connectivity: WLAN, Bluetooth, GPS. No 3G/UMTS.
- Android 2.3.4, which is not the most recent, but most software will still run on it.
- MicroSD card slot, MicroUSB plug, microphone, loudspeaker, 3.5 mm audio jack, power button, reset button.
- Battery life of 5 to 8 hours depending on usage.
Here is a pic running GO launcher (I was changing the lower icons at the moment) with my frequently used apps and a custom background (a pic I took at the Danube in Vienna)
High-frequency noise
Occasionally, a high-pitched noise will appear. This systematicall happens after unlocking the screen. It is audible only in very quiet atmospheres and becomes irritating after a while. This seems to be a general issue for this pad. Solutions I have found (trial and error and forum searches):
- Press the volume-up or volume-down button.
- Settings --> Sound --> Screen loc sounds (select). Using this option, a sound is produced when the screen is unlocked. This wipes away the high-pitch noise.
Research journal articles are frequently printed in two columns. This makes them extremely tedious to read on a tablet screen. I have found no free android app which automatically rearranges 2-column PDFs into single-column PDFs suitable for display in small screens. The only solution I could find (thanks to Julio) is k2pdfopt. This program does exactly the aforementioned task: 2column ---> 1column. White margins are cropped out, so you don't have to fiddle around with zoom in/out every time you want to change a page or go to the next column.
Bookmarking PDFs
I haven't found a free PDF reader capable of handling bookmarks. The closest I have come to is using Acrobat Reader. It remembers the current position when you exit. Next time you load the document, you are brought to the position where you left it. That's already something.
Synchronizing Google Tasks
Sync with Google works out of the box (calendar, mail, contacts). However, tasks were a bit more tedious. I finally settled for Any.do.
Frequently used apps
- Arxiv.org mobile: to browse the arxiv.org on the go, on the sofa, etc.
- DS Audio to stream from my Synology DS411j directly to my tablet.
- XBMC remote as a remote control for an XBMC session running on a computer with a TV monitor + audio system which serves as my media center at home.
- Dropbox. I keep my notes and papers to read synced with Dropbox (in my linux machines I just create symbolic links in ~/Dropbox pointing to the corresponding directories and files). Dropbox for android has the offline reading and editing capability, as opposed to Google Docs as of March 18, 2012.
- Test VPN.
- Find a git repository browser.
- Test GPS

Focused Genetic Analyses Seek To Improve...
The Epigenetics Field Is Granular and...
Opioid Epidemic Is Not the Only...
Constant Innovation and Translation of Scientific...
MedImmune obtained the rights to develop and commercialize Japan Tobacco's (JT) preclinical antibody drug candidate for the treatment of certain inflammatory diseases. Under the license agreement, MedImmune will develop JT's Mab targeting pathways within the CD28 receptor family.
JT's Mab aims to inhibit a receptor believed to play a key role in controlling adaptive immune responses, called inducible-costimulator (ICOS). Through this mechanism it regulates T-cell dependent activation of B cells, which is implicated in a variety of autoimmune disorders. Preclinical study results indicate that ICOS is only expressed on a subset of T cells. In addition, ICOS is required for IL-17 secretion from activated T cells. IL-17 is a T-cell derived cytokine that is implicated in the development of various inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis. In preclinical studies, MedImmune reports that ICOS-inhibition with Mabs was shown to be effective in models of rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, multiple sclerosis, and lupus.
"The addition of this novel target to MedImmune's inflammatory disease pipeline underscores our commitment to developing innovative therapies for the treatment of unmet medical needs, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogrens syndrome, and rheumatoid arthritis," comments Anthony J. Coyle, Ph.D., MedImmune senior director, research, and head, inflammation biology. "As we work to develop the anti-ICOS Mab as a potential treatment for such immune system disorders, we also hope to continue to collect scientific knowledge related to the role of signaling pathways in regulating immune response outcomes."
Under the terms of the agreement, JT will receive an undisclosed upfront payment, milestone payments, and royalties on marketed products. JT retains exclusive development and marketing rights for the current lead antibody in Japan, and MedImmune to the rest of world. Additionally, MedImmune claims certain rights worldwide for other antibodies developed under this agreement.

TC TO ANNA BROWNELL JAMESON ; 12 October 1838; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18381012-TC-ABJ-01; CL 10: 196-197
Chelsea, 12th October 1838—
Dear Mrs Jameson,
Your Letter lay long at Edinburgh; and reached me in Dumfriesshire only a few days ago, when I was about returning hither. Baron Alzdorf got a Testimonial from me, as he, so backed, was doubly and trebly entitled to do: but whether it and all the rest did him any service I have not yet learned. I saw him in Regent Street the day before yesterday; but he would not see me or my signals, and the vehicle had to drive on.
You do me so much honour that I can only cover my face, and sit speechless for a time. The hearts of women, dear little creatures, are by nature exaggerative; many is the Bristol Diamond, or poor Scotch Pebble,1 that has been taken for a true stone of price! You should beware withal, and not turn people's heads.
We shall be right glad to see you here when you get back to Town; Henzel or no Henzel.2 My Wife salutes you heartily. Enjoy Windsor;3 but quit forests when the leaves grow brown,—mindful of friends.
Believe me always, / Dear Mrs Jameson, / Yours most sincerely /
T. Carlyle.
My Wife suggests that you are surely home again before this time.4 We shall see.

A little-known series of autobiographical books written by an obscure writer named Ralph Moody should be mandatory reading for every student in every school in America, ages 12-18. These books are mandatory reading for anyone else interested in life in rural, small town America in the early twentieth century.
Ralph Moody was born December 16, 1898, in Rochester New Hampshire. His father, Charles Moody was a farmer, but developed respiratory problems, and the family moved to Colorado when Ralph was eight years old, in hopes that the arid Rocky Mountains climate would improve the elder Mr. Moody's health. Charles' health did improve for a time, but a freak accident on horseback injured him, and he developed pneumonia and died soon thereafter. This meant that Ralph, as the oldest son, became the man of the family at the tender age of eleven. At the time of his father's death, Ralph had one older sister, one younger sister, and two younger brothers.
Bear in mind, this was before Roosevelt-style income redistribution and socialism took a stranglehold on America. This was before the era of Social Security, welfare checks, and FEMA. Ralph's mother began baking and cooking meals to deliver to other women in town, Ralph went door to door taking orders, and he and his siblings delivered the meals. He took any jobs he could find, including hiring out as a cowboy the summer of his twelfth year, drawing a grown man's wage of a dollar a day.
Ralph was fiercely devoted to his mother and siblings. He shouldered the burdens of an adult without whining, without complaining, and without government assistance and intervention. Despite having only an eighth-grade education (perhaps this was actually an advantage), Ralph Moody acquired a business acumen which should be the envy of any Fortune 500 executive. Ralph's story of family devotion, self-reliance, entrepreneurship, and hard work is told in the books Little Britches, Man of the Family, The Home Ranch, Mary Emma and Company, The Fields of Home, Shaking the Nickel Bush, The Dry Divide, and Horse of a Different Color.
For anyone interested in how one courageous American fared against adversity prior to the New Deal, Ralph Moody's series of autobiographical books are an indispensable source of inspiration and wisdom.

Good. Now, we can talk. This is more of a collection of thoughts than an essay, and I'll add to it now and then.
First off, if you're a teacher or parent or the coach of the local girls' soccer team, that's great. But if you're the only kid you've ever really understood, that's okay too. You need to be an expert on only one child to write for children and on only one teenager to write for teenagers.
That child, that teenager, is the person sitting right where you are reading this message right now.
I still have a LOT to learn, but I have also learned a lot along the way. There are all kinds of sources on the nuts-and-bolts of children's writing and publishing (and you can find them below), but this is my big-picture take:
Does this sound stern or triumphant? Go with triumphant. Be triumphant. This isn't an easy thing to do, writing for children. But it's so important. No, I don't really think anybody could completely live up to the goals I've outlined above. I sure don't.
But you have to set your standards high. You have to strive.
"Make no little plans. They have no magic..." as they say in Chicago.
Reading, community, faith, and writing are all precious to me. I hope you feel the same.
Follow the links immediately below for more insights on writing for children and young adults! Or, if you're eager for more nuts and bolts, skip ahead to thought starters, inspiration, perspiration, or online resources (education, promotion, publishing, agents, editors and publishers, and more!).

I am trying to prove a result, where I have to show that the strong product of $K_{2}$ and $P_n$, n>2, is not self-centered graph, that is, eccentricity is not equal for all the vertices. the idea which i am having is that in the product of graphs, distance between two vertices $g_{hi}$ and $g_{jk}$ is equal to the sum of $d_V$($u_h$,$u_h$) and $d_V$($v_i$,$v_k$), and thus $e_{U \times V}$($g_{ij}$) $=$ $e_Uu_i$ + $e_Vv_j$ where V and U are given graphs. i am using this idea that eccentricty of vertices in a path keep changing as we increase the number of vertices.

in the strong product, the distance $d(x,y)$ for vertices with coordinates $x=(x_1,..x_n)$ and $y=(y_1,..y_n)$ is the maximum of the distances $d(x_i,y_i)$ over each factor. The sum holds for Cartesian products only.

I dont mean for this to sound rude or ignorant. It is a legitimate question I have.What did the Orthodox church do before John Chrysostym?? What liturgy did they use? I know the Church is known for being unchanged, but at some point didnt they have to stop, or 'change' what they were doing in order to start using the liturgy of John Chrysostom??
Dear God, please force me to salvation and together with me as many people as possible.

Joel Auxier charged with fraudulently purchasing jewelry with a Saks customer's credit card
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. - A Palm Beach Gardens man who police say worked at Saks Fifth Avenue in the Gardens Mall is facing charges that he sold stolen jewelry.
Palm Beach Gardens police say that on May 14, 2014 Joel Auxier, who worked as a jewelry salesman, sold a Buccellati brand women's watch to Provident jewelry for eight thousand dollars.
Investigators say that the watch had previously been purchased by a regular customer in her 80s for seventeen thousand seven hundred dollars.
The woman, according to police, was not present when the watch was purchased and the sale was charged to her Saks credit account.
The victim told officers that she was not aware that the watch had been purchased, that she never authorized the purchase nor did she take possession of it.
The victim told police that she had made other purchases from Saks and had used Auxier as her salesman.
Police say that over the past three years Auxier sold a significant amount of jewelry to Provident Jewelry and had been paid over thirty two thousand dollars.
Saks says that there has been a documented shortage of a large amount of jewelry due to employee theft over the past several years.
Auxier has been charged with the grand theft of a victim over age 65 and dealing in stolen property.

The PS4 has seen a very successful first nine months or so, and with that Sony has its eyes set on surpassing the success of one of the most successful consoles in history, the PS2. It's a bold goal to have in mind, but we won't see the first year in full context until this November rolls around.
Having high expectations is a great thing for any business, so long as they are realistic and attainable. Sony Computer Entertainment head Andrew House talked about the system in which they are comparing the overall success of the PS4 against.
"One of the things we benchmark ourselves against the PlayStation 2 to a greater degree and we're happy to have been significantly ahead of that. But we need to see a full comparison of a full year of what the PS2 did including a holiday season, compared with a similar period for PS4. And then we'll have a sense of where things are really going," House said.
The PlayStation 2 was a wildly successful platform for Sony and they are certainly shooting high in comparing the progress of the PS4 to that of the PS2. The latter console succeeded in a time that is much different than today, but still, Sony should have nothing less than high expectations for a console they've invested millions into.
House sees the PS4 as more than just a console for one person in the house to play, but as an opportunity to get other people inside a household into the business. It's a gateway for new consumers in his mind.
"It's going to sound counter intuitive but it's important for gamers. If the consoles we make find relevance with multiple people in a household and multiple members of a family, those are all opportunities for other people to get into gaming. I see us as almost creating a springboard for that, and that's what a platform business is all about," House said.
Thanks, Eurogamer!

One William Blount High School teacher has recently raised the bar on giving back to the community. Last year, for the first time, teacher Chris Taylor introduced a new program that, over the course of a week of activities, helps Key Club students to raise money for a worthy cause. SWAG, or Students With A Goal, designs a week-long fundraiser for their chosen charity.
Each year, students are asked to research various charities, then the selected causes are put to a vote. St. Jude's Children's Hospital was chosen last year. This year, the charity is Stand Up, an organization dedicated to helping homeless children.
The event begins on April 19, 2010, and concludes on April 23. Over the course of those five days there will be five assemblies including an introduction; Fear Factor; a Male Beauty Pageant; and skits and dance-offs. All of the events will be student-directed and student-created. Says sponsor Chris Taylor, 'I want my students to own the event and be proud of what they have accomplished.' Ninety percent of the week is run entirely by students.
According to Taylor, the idea for the event came from the community in Oklahoma where he grew up, where three local high schools participated in similar events. In a faculty meeting, he brought up the idea. Assistant Principal Jennifer Moore says that he was very enthusiastic about the event. Normally, teachers grumble about losing class time, particularly several classes over the course of a week; but Taylor was so passionate about SWAG week that no one could turn him down. Says Moore, 'How can you argue with that kind of passion?'
How indeed. Taylor says, 'This event is a great community builder and is great for helping unite the student body in positive acts.' Last year, Key Club members raised approximately $7,200 for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. This year, they hope to raise at least $5,000 for Stand Up.
If you are interested in donating to this worthy cause, please contact Chris Taylor at 984-5500 during school hours. He can also be reached at his school email address.

INDIANAPOLIS – Ryan Hunter-Reay has made the most of second chances.
He found himself out of IndyCar racing more than once during his prime years, bounced from team to team, had to make last-minute runs just to make the Indianapolis 500, and found himself bumped from the race just three years ago before a post-qualifying ride swap put him back in the race.
And, at the Indianapolis 500, he had found himself leading the race at the final restart, only to lose it in the first corner.
He made the most of the second chance in his career – rewarding Andretti Autosport for signing him in 2011 with the IndyCar Series championship the following year. And on Sunday, he made the most of his second chance to lead the Indianapolis 500 to the final green flag. He used all of the racetrack – and then some – to win a wild shootout with Helio Castroneves that saw the two drivers swap the lead five times and finish nearly side-by-side, just 0.0600 seconds apart.
The second chance at Indy has come more than once. In 2011, he was bumped from the field. Two years later, he was leading the field to the final restart, only to be passed in Turn 1 by Tony Kanaan just before a race-ending yellow flag came out.
This time, he was in the same position. Six laps to go, with Castroneves and teammate Marco Andretti on his tail, and a restart coming after the race had been red-flagged when Townsend Bell hit the wall on Lap 191.
Knowing the draft gives a big advantage to trailing cars, both Hunter-Reay and Castroneves took unusually low lines out of Turns 2 and 4 onto the straightaways to cut the air for the trailing car and take a favorable line into the corner.
"There was no practice for it," Hunter-Reay said. "We never really ran those lines at all the whole month. That was all new. Everything everybody was doing at the end was all new."
Yet, the lead swapped hands five times in those six laps. Hunter-Reay won the initial restart, but lost the lead a lap later in Turn 1. Six turns after, on Lap 198, Hunter-Reay got a run on Castroneves but ran out of room at the end of the backstretch.
"I tried not to leave any room, but he was able to find some," Castroneves said.
Hunter-Reay created his own, with the pass in the grass. He dipped his left-side tires off the track very briefly, and then made the move stick in Turn 3.
"When Helio got by me (on Lap 196), I thought that might've been it," Hunter-Reay said. "We were running low out of the corner. My final move, I faked to the top, came back down, cut a little grass and we made it happen."
While the lead would swap hands twice after that on Lap 199 – Castroneves regained it in Turn 1, Hunter-Reay took it back on the front straightaway right under the white flag, the pass in the grass set the rest of the race in motion.
"I think that was the move that won the race," said car owner Michael Andretti, who won his third race in 10 years as an owner, with three different drivers. "That caught Helio completely off-guard and wrecked his plan for the rest of the race."
Castroneves had one final shot – using the draft to try to slingshot his way past Hunter-Reay at the line. He could pull no closer than his back wing, and was six hundredths of a second shy of his fourth win at Indy.
"I was worried he'd be able to come out and draft up and pass me just like Hornish did to Marco in 2006," Hunter-Reay said, noting Sam Hornish Jr.'s pass in the final few hundred yards to beat Marco Andretti. "I had to be aggressive, I had to come off Turn 4 low so Helio couldn't draft as well. Had I come off high, he'd have come into my slipstream."
The race win was reminiscent of Hunter-Reay's career – one of making the most of a second chance.
That second chance started in 2010, where he had a partial deal to run with Andretti Autosport through the Indianapolis 500. Andretti said Hunter-Reay was attractive because he had shown the ability to be successful on the multiple types of courses IndyCar offers.
Hunter-Reay had previously bounced between low-budget Champ Car teams, spent a year out of IndyCar racing entirely, returned when he joined Rahal Letterman Racing as a mid-season replacement in 2007. He lost that ride a year and a half later, split 2009 between two different teams, and was on the brink with what was essentially a one-off Indy-centric opportunity.
"I was bouncing from team to team. This was the opportunity of a lifetime. It was very pressure-packed circumstances," Hunter-Reay said. "We won our second race together at Long Beach. It' s just a fantastic story. You can't do it alone. You have to have a team behind you. Michael is the guy I have to thank for making my IndyCar career a reality."
They've been rewarded. Since that win at Long Beach, Hunter-Reay has been a mainstay at Andretti Autosport, and has won at least one race each year sine 2010. In 2012, he won the IndyCar Series championship, bolstered with four wins.
Now, he joins the small group of drivers who have won both an IndyCar Series title and an Indianapolis 500. Among active drivers, only Scott Dixon and Tony Kanaan can claim to have done the same.
"When you've won an IndyCar championship, you know you've done your best better than some of the best in the world at every different discipline," Hunter-Reay said. "From a driver's perspective, there's something rewarding about that. The competition in the IndyCar series is ridiculous. It's the toughest it's ever been, and the closest it's ever been. But (the Indy 500) is the history of auto racing. It's the oldest, biggest race in the world. It's unbelievable that we've won both."
He's also carrying the banner for his country. In 2012, he became the first American to win the series title since Sam Hornish Jr. did so in 2006. Sunday, he became the first American since 2006 – and the third since 1999 – to sip the milk at Indianapolis.
But he's not done yet. Much like recently-retired three-time Indy 500 winner and four-time IndyCar champion Dario Franchitti, he's just hitting his stride in his early 30s.
"There's a lot to do in IndyCar," said Hunter-Reay, who is 33 years old and now has 13 Champ Car/IndyCar wins, a title and an Indy 500 win. His car owner concurs.
"I'm so happy to have him part of our family," Andretti said. "Hopefully, he'll be part of our family until he retires."

A play of life and death, promised in a moment of mortal threat, and so began the history of the Oberammergau Passion Play in 1633. In the midst of the horror of the 30 years' war, the dreaded plague swept across Europe. High in the Bavarian Alps, the citizens of Oberammergau attempted to seal themselves off from the outside world. When a homesick young man sneaked into the village and brought the pestilence with him, 84 residents died within 3 weeks. In desperation, the town council made a solemn vow that if God would stop the plague, out of gratitude, they would present a play depicting the life and suffering of Christ for the duration of their existence. Miraculously, the plague took no more lives in the town. True to their word, the villagers performed their first play in 1634, and have continued to do so to this day.
The first Passion Play performance was held over the graves of the Black Death victims. This location was used until 1820. Not until 1820 was a stage constructed at the site of the present-day Passion Play Theatre. In 1820, a reconstructions was carried out. The structure at this time consisted of six steel arch supports. By 1930, the new construction of the open-air stage was completed by Georg Johann Lang and Raimund Lang. The original seat consisting of simple rows of benches were replaced by theatre seating and now offered a seating capacity of 5,200. In 1999, 15 million dollars were spent on upgrades such as making the facility wheelchair accessible, as well as new fire prevention measures and stage techniques were modernized. The newly renovated theatre, with its 4,720 covered seats, now offers a world-wide audience maximum comfort and safety.
The Passion Play is performed every 10 years in the city of Oberammergau, Germany. The play takes place out doors where the sky and mountains are the back drop. A wonderful spectacle of pageantry. World renown for the costumes and music presentation. Now, more than 2,000 citizens make up the actors, singers, instrumentalists and stage technicians that bring the play to life in approximately six hours of playing time. The year 2010 marks the 41st time the story will be presented in Oberammergau. The play comprises spoken dramatic text, musical and choral accompaniment and tableaux vivants. The tableaux vivants are scenes from the Old Testament depicted for the audience by motionless actors accompanied by verbal description. These scenes are the basis for the relationship between the Old and New Testament, of the play. They include a scene of the brothers selling Joseph into slavery in Egypt, and Moses raising up the bronze serpent in the wilderness. The remainder of the performance is a dramatic presentation depicting the Passion of Christ: the trial, suffering and death of Jesus Christ.
There will not be another chance like this until 2020 so don't delay and call 1.866.475.7023 today to avoid disappointment.
All performances sold out in 2000.

Mikaela Shiffrin walked away from the Olympic women's slalom event in Sochi as the gold medal winner on Friday and she made it look easy. The youngest athlete to be a gold medal winner for the event, there were fans around the world expecting this athlete would be first. The Olympic Alpine skier seemed to have no trouble with the course. According to the USA Today on Friday, the skier dominated the event and seemed to focus solely on the task at hand.
At the end of the first run for Shiffrin it was apparent the skier had control on the course. Looking solid and seeming confident, the athlete offered few concerns. For those fans watching the second run, it was obvious the athlete was going too fast. Surviving a near-fall halfway down the course, the speed was a concern to make it to the end. Managing to keep the scoring lead, the athlete knew she was going to be a medal winner.
As the Sochi Olympics start to wind down, the final events like the women's slalom haven't been getting as much attention as other skiing and snowboarding events like at the beginning of the Olympic Games. However fans watching Mikaela Shiffrin couldn't help but to be excited for the gold medal action.
Take a look at the photo slideshow of Mikaela Shiffrin winning gold in Sochi.

Ok, I may have already given away in my thoughts on the Lost Missions in the headline of this article, but seriously, you need to go out and buy the Star Wars: The Clone Wars: The Lost Missions [Blu-ray] through our Amazon link today!
The quality of the visual effects in simply astounding. The Clone Wars Team truly achieved film quality effects on the small screen. Weather it's Yoda's visit to the erie planet of Moraband, or the incredible "Evil Yoda" sequence, you see a dedication to cinematic storytelling unlike anything before.
The exclusive "Clone Wars Declassified" documentary that comes with the set is incredibly insightful. It gives an inside look into the final chapter of the creative process for the Clone Wars team. "Clone Wars Declassified" give us a glimpse of just how tight-knit the team at Lucasfilm was as well as how involved George Lucas was in the creative process. It becomes obvious just how much Lucas passed on to Filoni as a filmaker.
I give The Lost Missions 5/5 glasses of blue milk! More info after the jump!
