Hair has more damaging elements to contend with during the hot weather season than the rest of the year due to a lethal combination of chlorine, perspiration, pollution, hot styling tools and, of course, excessive sun exposure.

Cheesepinions, Round #9July 2, 2010, 4pm
Hi. It's me. Your flaky blog buddy who decided to take a summer vacation. Remember me? Of course you do.
Well guess what. I snuck inside from my serious summer of sunbathing and white wine spritzers to write something on the blog. Because the internet doesn't take vacations. No sir.
So I thought I'd get back into the swing of things with everyone's favorite: CHEESEPINIONS! Huzzahhhhhhh. And we are back with everyone's most bespectacled cheesemonger, STEPHANIE! And the crowd goes wild…
So this week, Stephanie is all tingly over Appalachian from Meadow Creek Dairy in south eastern Virginia.

Still not up yet, fired off a support message to Desura.
Got a reply from tech support:
It's up, go grab it.V13.2 is up now, we will endeavour to be quicker with future updates!
This question may have already been answered several times, and I might be posting in the wrong area, but if someone can answer my question, awesome.
I remember finding out about this project in May of last year and preordered it then, and I really haven't checked out the site that much since then seeing as though I knew it would take a while for it to be released, but I just remembered this game and checked it out, looking around, I found out that you switched to Desura after I purchased the game, and I recall it being offered on Steam as well, I suppose my questions would be
Is the game going to still be on Steam?
If so, is there some way to transfer my preorder on there?
If not, how can I show Desura that I own a preorder of the game?
And, is there any way to check out the alpha/beta of the game without Desura if it will be available on steam?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not against downloading Desura in order to play, it's just the fact of convenience.
As far as I know, a key for Steam will be made available on release of the game. And because Steam does not offer an alphafunding model, the only way to get updates until release will be through Desura.
Yeah you'll get a Steam key sent to you when the game is released. They don't do alphafunding stuff though.
Chris England - Xenonauts Project Lead
I can't even get it to install via Desura atm, It just fails connection eventually. Even tried moving the files and starting again. Been that way since V13+

- Company: Oliver Peoples
- Price: Varies
- Official Site: OliverPeoples.com
Oliver Peoples is an eyewear line shrouded in a healthy sense of mystery. The story begins in 1986, when optician brothers Dennis and Larry Leight purchased an estate collection of vintage glasses. A curious receipt, signed Oliver Peoples, accompanied the lot of mint-condition, unworn frames, and as a nod to their supposed source, the two opened an optical boutique by the same name. The mysterious moniker for their first Sunset Boulevard retail outlet was perhaps fitting for eyeglasses that were respectful of the past, while the rest of the world was focused on the futuristic angles of overworked '80s designs. The brand achieved success relatively quickly with features in major fashion magazines and the opening of a second flagship gallery in Tokyo by 1989. While much of the recent focus for the label has been on expanding the sunglasses business (Mosley Tribes, Paul Smith and a new venture with Zooey Deschanel all lay claim to Peoples as their parent), the retro styling of Oliver Peoples' eyeglasses will still get you the same look of approval they did 20 years ago.
What makes Oliver Peoples even more of an anomaly today is its commitment to being understated. In a world where so much eyewear looks as though it was tricked out with an overly zealous glue gun, Oliver Peoples sticks to relevant basics that pay homage to years past. The half-rim Advocate frame is a sleek update to the original made popular in the 1930s and 1940s, and the Andy Warhol-inspired Sheldrake feels like the 1950s. However, in addition to the stark and potentially harsh black, the acetate Sheldrake with traditional silver plaques at the temples also comes in clear crystal, rosy rococo and gold. The Riley, Boxley and Cady follow a similar design with a slightly thinner, less imposing use of plastic. And for those who really want to make a statement, the Tycoon model offers a thick, bold plastic in black or tortoise with retro triple-pin detailing. The Grayson and Alter-Ego styles round out the collection with a modern take on a Clark Kent look.
In reality, any one of the bunch should be enough of a disguise to channel your inner superhero.
In reality, any one of the bunch should be enough of a disguise to channel your inner superhero.
Oliver Peoples' designs are the foundation upon which eyewear was built. The tendency toward or rather the exclusive obsession with plastic frames is distinguished without being dated. You can get your hands on a pair for under $200, and thankfully there is an attention to quality that goes beyond the price. The frames are made in Japan, which has relatively recently stepped up as a challenge to Italy on the eyeglasses scene, and come with their own embossed hard case and microfiber cloth for easy cleaning.

Legal Education and Advocacy in Pediatrics (LEAP) Program
The Legal Education and Advocacy in Pediatrics Program (LEAP) is a medical-legal partnership (MLP) formed between General Academic Pediatrics at the Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters (CHKD) and the Legal Aid Society of Eastern Virginia (LASEVA). LEAP addresses social determinants of health by equipping patients with legal resources and, through a multi-disciplinary approach involving medical and MPH students from EVMS, law students from William & Mary, nursing students from ODU, and social work students from NSU in the LEAP referral process, links patients with other valuable community resources. Further, LEAP is developing a cross-listed course that would function as part of each institution's curriculum to supplement the students' hands on involvement in the MLP. The goal of the project is to combine legal, social and medical resources to improve medical outcomes among low-income families of child patients and conduct research to provide a successful framework to establish similar MLPs elsewhere. The LEAP referral plan encompasses involvement from various LEAP partners to ensure eligible families receive the best possible resources. The referral process begins when a social worker at CHKD refers potential cases to LEAP. Next, an "on call" student from one of the involved educational institutions is paged to come and meet with the family and go over the program and affiliated research: families do not have to take part in the data collection portion of LEAP if they choose not to. Next, the case is sent to LASEVA to determine eligibility to the LEAP program. All non-eligible families are referred to community resources by their student case manager or LASEVA, whereas eligible families' cases are managed by LASEVA. Cases pertaining to guardianship or special education are sent to the William and Mary Legal Clinic for review and handling. All other civil legal cases are kept at LASEVA for review and possible representation. After the cases are complete, data from those cases where consent was obtained is used to measure outcomes and inform a best-practices model for such MLPs. The LEAP program is also attempting to be the first MLP to successfully incorporate nursing representatives into an MLP structure.

When Natalie meets the Millers at the Sarasota hospital, she is attracted to their warm hospitality and simple ways--and soon wonders if they can help her find her mother's family. As Jacob and Natalie fall in love, their worlds collide. Will their differences tear them apart? Or will their love be strong enough to blend their clashing cultures?

Tempest's Courseby Lynette Sowell
Kelly Frost, a textiles conservator, is invited to the Massachusetts coastal town of Fairhaven to restore the centuries-old Mariner's Compass quilt. But there is one stipulation: she must live and work in Grey House, a former whaling captain's home, where the quilt is stored. There she meets Tom Silva, the caretaker of Grey House, whose heart seems as hard as the rocky Massachusetts coastline. Over the long-lit months as Kelly works to restore the quilt, she is buoyed by occasional afternoon visits from Tom and other Fairhaven town members, and is drawn into their lives. And each night, as she reads stories in a daily journal penned by Mary Grey, she learns details about her newfound community members that help her see that their lives are as vivid and interwoven as the quilt pieces she is working to restore. But, when Kelly discovers a truth about Tom's heritage hidden in the journal, she must decide if keeping the past to herself is the only way to ensure the hope of a future with Tom.

STANFORD, Calif. – Richard Sherman, Doug Baldwin and the NFC's No. 1-seeded Seattle Seahawks started Saturday with a win for former Stanford players in the NFL, but the Indianapolis Colts and three ex-Cardinal lost at New England and Thomas Keiser's San Diego Chargers fell in Denver.
Sherman and the rest of the league's top defensive unit limited New Orleans to just 15 points, including zero through the first three quarters, to lead Seattle to a 23-15 win. Baldwin helped seal the win with a 24-yard catch on a third-and-three play late in the fourth quarter that led to a touchdown on the next play.
The Colts and quarterback Andrew Luck hung with New England for three quarters, before eventually falling 43-22. Luck hit Griff Whalen and Coby Fleener a total of 11 times, as he threw for 331 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions.
San Diego could not duplicate their effort of the regular season against Denver when Keiser picked off Peyton Manning to end a victory. Instead, the Chargers were held scoreless through three quarters and the Broncos hung on for a 24-17 win.
Sherman and Baldwin represent the remaining Stanford players in the playoffs who were active this week. Sione Fua was inactive for Denver and Alex Debniak is on the San Francisco 49ers' reserve/injured list, although both of their teams are still alive.

North Stonington - Asa Palmer came upon an upsetting sight Saturday morning in a field of his family's dairy farm.
Angel, his nearly year-old Ayrshire heifer, had her jaw shot off sometime late Friday or early Saturday. When Palmer found her, her tongue was so swollen that she couldn't swallow. By the time she was put down Monday, the red-and-white calf hadn't eaten or had any water since Friday.
"I would rather they had shot it dead," said Palmer, 18. "It was horrible to see her like that, it was awful."
David Abely, a North Stonington resident state trooper, said Wednesday that arrest warrants are in the works for the suspects in the shooting. The suspects also wounded a second cow standing in the Palmers' field on Pendleton Hill Road. The second cow, a Holstein, was hit in the ear, and the bullet lodged near its spine, Palmer said.
"There's gonna be a bullet in the back of that cow for life," Palmer said. "They can't get it out; the vet says it would do more harm than good."
Charges will include cruelty to animals, Abely said.
Palmer said three "kids known for causing trouble in town" are the prime suspects. They apparently used a rifle to shoot from the road at a group of 12 cows in the field, he said. Neighbors reported two gunshots, a pause, and then three more, Palmer said, sometime in the early morning hours Saturday.
"I wish I could tell you why they did it," said Palmer, a senior at Wheeler High School. "I've never done anything to whoever did it, and neither did Angel."
Palmer's father and uncle own Palmer Farm, a North Stonington dairy farm that has about 500 head of cattle, Palmer said. He owns five, now four after Angel's death. The cost for the animal alone, Palmer said, is about $800 to $1,000. If Angel had lived, she would have produced milk and calves, he said, generating income that is now lost.
"It's a lot," he said.
In response to the incident, state Rep. Diana Urban, D-North Stonington, announced Wednesday the creation of "The Angel Fund" to raise money for Palmer. Urban said in a news release that she was "sickened and angered" by the shooting, The fund will be set up at Chelsea Groton Bank.
"Asa Palmer is the future of farming in our state," Urban said. "We need to reach out to Asa and his family at this time. This is an opportunity for North Stonington to show our true colors and let Asa know how much we care. I know how hard Asa works and I know how saddened he is by this senseless destructive act. I will be the first person making a donation to help him put his herd back together."
Palmer said he works 25 to 30 hours a week during the school year at the family farm. During the summer, that number reaches 50 or 60 hours, he said. After graduating this June, Palmer said he plans to go to college and major in dairy management. He'll come back to North Stonington to dedicate himself in the family business.
The first order of business, he said, is having those responsible brought to justice for the senseless act.
"There has to be a special place in hell for people like that," Palmer said of the shooting. "They have to just be degenerates."

Atlanta Dream owners Kelly Loeffler and Mary Brock are at different points in their lives—one is a full-time corporate executive and the other a grandmother—but they're ready to lead their team to success. Here, we huddle up with them for the play by play.
Meet the slam-dunk duo behind Atlanta's WNBA team.
How exactly did you two meet?
MB: We didn't know each other, but we had a mutual friend [Kathy Betty] who owned the Atlanta Dream. Both of us had never been to a game. We were invited and became totally engaged and excited. We joined the ownership group and took the learning curve together.
KL: When [my husband], Jeff, and I were invited to our first Dream game, I thought we could sneak out after the first half—and I was a basketball player, so shame on me! We ended up screaming, yelling and staying on our feet.
After Betty was transitioned out, you two became the city's first all-female, professional ownership group, what was the reaction?
MB: We've had huge support from the other teams. [Atlanta Falcons President] Rich McKay and Arthur Blank always answer our phone calls and offer advice. Kelly and I think it's so important to provide a league for women, as the outcome for women who participate in sports is so well-documented, but we also look at this as [making] a small business work. If we weren't 100 percent confident, we wouldn't be doing this.
So do you manage well together? How does that play out?
KL: Because it's just the two of us, we're pretty candid with each other about our strengths and weaknesses. From being around Mary, I've learned about having an attitude that is positive and constructive.
MB: Kelly is a very process-oriented person, and I've learned a lot of terms from her. For example, we'll get ready to have a meeting and she'll say something like, 'Now we have to have a hard stop at X.' Kelly is the one to really keep us on our target.
Now that all your effort is paying off, what are you most looking forward to this year?
KL: We're all focused on winning and this is why we put a team on the court. We've been to the playoffs four out of five years and two of those years we made it to the championship game. If you win, you get more interest—more attendees, sellouts. We want the league to be successful, so winning is everything.
I love the enthusiasm! But you're both also very involved with the arts. Do you think sports and the arts can mix?
KL: We've talked to a lot of cultural organizations because they agree there's a nexus to sports and being good at your art.
MB: We're always looking for ways to promote each other. Atlanta Symphony Orchestra President Stanley Romanstein is a season ticket holder and sits in the front row. That's significant for us to have that kind of support.
OK, now tell us what happens off the court.
KL: We love to go to dinner and just sit and talk. We even had a last-minute New Year's Eve together.
MB: I laugh that I'm 5-foot-6 and she's 5-foot-11, so I have to wear higher heels and a big smile. Sometimes we'll say, 'We never talk about the fun stuff! Let's just go shop for lipstick together.'

Thoughts on how a very famous golfer must approach a really, really big upcoming tournament
Dave Kindred | March 18, 2010 8:01 a.m.
"This Masters – and I don't think this is an exaggeration – will be one of the biggest sports events in American history: a nationally broadcast carnival of curiosity, speculation and interest covered by the media like a presidential resignation or the moon landing."
Wait one minute here. The man is talking about moments that will be in history books forever. Richard M. Nixon remains the only president of the United States ever to resign. Neil Armstrong's giant leap took us all to a place we had imagined but only imagined. At those moments, the world stopped spinning and no one dared blink.
Now comes the Dukie deep thinker saying we will pay that kind of attention to a recovering philanderer playing golf.
Sadly, he's probably right.
He certainly has company in imagining this story as an epic of our times. The ESPN.com star, Bill Simmons, drawing on the full powers of his intellect, has written – twice, in indelible crayon – that Tiger's comeback will be more difficult than that faced a generation ago by Muhammad Ali. After all, Simmons opined, there was no TMZ and 24/7 news cycle back in the day, and we are all agreed – aren't we? – that the Internet's sewer rats are a more powerful force than that which threatened Ali, for Ali faced 24/7 threats only from the Klan, the Selective Service, the FBI, the Department of Justice, and the U.S. Supreme Court, not to mention living with a sentence of five years in a federal penitentiary, the theft of his heavyweight championship title, and dark mutterings by a murderous faction of the Nation of Islam that only two years earlier had assassinated his mentor, Malcolm X.
By the way, Ali stood tall against them all as opposed to skulking off to Mississippi. For the best four years of any athlete's life, let alone an athlete in sport's most demanding discipline, Ali was not allowed to enter any ring anywhere (his passport having been invalidated). Poor, beleaguered Tiger lost four months of golf's Silly Season and a few days of sun on his yacht.
Anyway, I e-mailed Orin Starn: "What's your guess for Tiger's first press conference at Augusta? Another prepared, scripted statement? Or take questions, handle 'em, get it over with? And, really, a 'presidential resignation'? A 'moon landing'? That big???"
"Hard to say about the press conference," Starn said, "but I'm sure Ari Fleischer [Tiger's public relations expert, his skills honed as George W. Bush's press secretary] will be the one figuring that out – and that, if the [previous] apology was any indication, it will be effective with the right touch. It seems obvious that everyone from [Tim] Finchem [PGA Tour commissioner] to many everyday golf fans want him back and I think his sailing is going to be very clear, especially as it seems now that Elin has found her way towards being with him again. And, yes, I do think it's going to be a world-class media frenzy; after all, all the major networks interrupted their coverage to broadcast the apology."
"Oh, Elin's back?" I said. "I've lost track."
"Yes, according to, I believe, The New York Times, she's been seen with him lately at Isleworth. Aren't you keeping up with every single minute detail of this riveting drama? :-)"
A Nexis search of Times stories of the last month uncovered no such report. So I took Starn's smiley as signal that he didn't much believe it himself but he'd heard it somewhere. And isn't that what has been happening in this? Nobody knows, but everybody has heard. Beyond the police report of Woods driving his Escalade into a fire hydrant and a tree, there has been one legitimate news story – legitimate in that it was more than a one-source account, a piece done by the Times on Woods's dealings with a Canadian doctor known for prescribing performance enhancing drugs.
When Woods does his first press conference at the Masters – if he does one at all – he will be tempted to read yet another statement of contrition, apology, and promise to be a better person, husband, father, son, and then walk away without another word. The purpose would be to avoid questions from inquiring minds. That is an understandable impulse; it would be a mistake. He is a bright guy who has long dominated the parry-and-thrust game of interviews.
Besides, unless that press conference is different from every one I have ever attended, it will be kind, gentle, and within a whisper of obsequiousness; difficult, tendentious, argumentative, inflammatory, prying questions are best sustained in one-on-one situations, not in mass interviews where the subject always has control, if only by crafting answers that turn hostile questions into indictments of a sensation-seeking media.
The mistake in making only a prepared statement would be that it puts another row of bricks atop the stonewall separating him from the people who thought they knew him. If he is to rehabilitate his reputation, he can not continue to hide. He has to show there's a man, pathetic as he may be at the moment, inside the facade those people have come to recognize. The best way to do that is to walk tall into the press room at Augusta National Golf Club – on Tuesday, as is his tradition – and say, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have no statement to make. Ask your questions. I'll answer as long as I can and as best I can without hurting my family. But, really, I'd like to talk about golf. I miss golf."
The assembled literati would ask the necessary, newsworthy, edging toward Escalade-pills-alcohol-will-Elin-be-here-and-if-not-why-not questions.
Ten minutes in, they'd talk about golf.
How many zillion balls did he hit at Isleworth getting ready? How does he feel mentally, physically? When did he last go four months without a competitive round?
The primary golf question: Will he play well?
I think he will. He's the best of all time, out for only a minute really, back on a course he loves, walking among people who are the most courteous sports fans in the world.
Gary Wiren, a PGA Golf Professional Hall of Fame instructor, said, "When the average Tour player is absent from the competitive scene for a long stretch of time, they usually come back with their ball-striking abilities intact, but their course management, focus, routines, and thinking are a bit rusty."
A pause . . .
"But Tiger Woods is not 'the average Tour player.' He will contend, if not win. I believe Las Vegas has it about right, 3-1 odds on a Tiger victory."
Before Sunday, though, we will know how it's going for Tiger.
If birdies bring roars, he's on the way to redemption.
If silence, there's much much more work to do.

Heuer, Olson grab MAC automatic bids in 1500 meters
NIU inks Illinois sprinter, Spanish distance runner in latest signings
Meghan Heuer grabs MAC auto berth in 800 meters
Huskie distance crew heads to Eastern Illinois
Huskies accumulate 19 top 10 finishes between two meets
The 2014-15 season will be Greg Hipp's fourth at the helm of Northern Illinois' cross country and long-distance running program. The fall of 2014 saw historic success for NIU cross country as the first two Huskies in school history - Kelsey Hildreth and Meghan Heuer - earned All-Region recognition for finishing in the top 20 at the NCAA Midwest Regional in Peoria, Ill. With Hipp's guidance in 2014, Hildreth and Heuer became the first two All-MAC honoree Huskies in school history; Hildreth also broke the NIU 5K and 6K school cross country records during her fabulous freshman campaign under Hipp.
On the track, the middle- and long-distance event group recorded their highest point totals in seven years at the MAC Championships indoors and outdoors in the 2013-14 season. The campaign also saw Meghan Heuer set school records in the 800m and 1500m events.
Through Hipp's career, his teams have won seven NCAA Division-I conference team championships while his middle and long distance runners have individually accumulated 119 All-Conference honors, 31 individual conference championship titles, been runner-ups 24 times and have placed third 31 times. With 10 NCAA All-Region and two NCAA All-America track honors, Hipp's runners have compiled 23 NCAA First-Round/Regional and 15 NCAA National Championship qualifying performances from the 800-meter to the 10,000-meter events and cross country. Additionally three of Hipp's runners have qualified for the USA National Championships with five athletes earning USA Junior National Championship qualifiers.
Hipp came to NIU after spending seven years as the head coach at Missouri State. Hipp has been a member of the USA Track and Field Cross Country Running Council since 2003 and also served on the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association's Cross Country Executive Committee as the Midwest Region Coaches Representative since 2006. After joining the Missouri State staff as a cross country and track and field assistant coach in 2003, Hipp was elevated to head cross country coach in 2004. In his first season as head coach, the Bears won the Missouri Valley Conference championship and Hipp was named MVC Women's Cross Country Coach of the Year. In his seven seasons as head coach, the Missouri State women's cross country team finished in the top-three of the MVC six times. In his time at Missouri State, the Bears also won five Missouri Valley Conference championships and student-athletes coached by Hipp have broken every school record in cross country as well as every track and field mark between 1,500 and 10,000 meters. During his coaching career, Hipp has helped 118 student-athletes earn all-conference honors, including 31 individual conference champions. He has guided athletes to 15 NCAA national qualifying performances and eight NCAA Cross Country All-Region honors.
Hipp competed collegiately at Appalachian State University where, as a member of the cross country and track and field teams, he was a member of six Southern Conference championship teams. He began his coaching career at Appalachian State in 2002, helping the men's and women's cross country programs earn Southern Conference championships before moving on to Missouri State. He received his bachelor's degree in journalism from Appalachian State in 2002 and earned his master's in physical education from Missouri State in 2004.

Heidi from Honeybear Lane had rescued this wicker headboard from her brother's neighbor's dumpster about five years ago when she was newly married and broke. She had simply spray painted it black and called it a day.
When Heidi woke up one morning with "the hankering to paint," the headboard was the most obvious candidate. Heidi refreshed it with some aqua paint and distressing. Simply changing the color of the headboard did wonders to update the piece. It looks gorgeous with the hints of aqua in her duvet!
Check out the tutorial at Honeybear Lane.

It is that time of year again that makes Houston feel like its neighbor to the east. The time of year that certain parts of the city smell like Louisiana and hot sauce. The time of the year when it's time to roll up your sleeves and dig in. Yes, it's crawfish season.
Each year between February and June, Houston seafood and cajun cooking establishments are abuzz with cajun fever. Mudbug aficionados and Who Dats alike know better than to partake in crawfish once the suckers get too big to crack or are too small to be concerned with, so when spring rolls around and the crawfish ponds of Louisiana become plentiful, Houstonians know that the city is in for a treat.
The close proximity to the Louisiana border makes Houston a prime spot for Louisiana natives to flock in hopes of filling the big appetites of Houstonians' bellies with cajun goodness while also turning a profit. It is true that the flavor of Houston is influenced in part by great Louisiana traditions, with crawfish being one of the best tastes of Houston culture.
The good news is, one need not take the long slow drive down I-10 East in order to get a hearty helping of crawdads. The places listed below along the Richmond Strip (i.e. "Crawfish Way") are in full gear for the season and are currently serving up medium sized crawfish for lovers of the bugs. The season was delayed due to the unusually colder climates hitting the Gulf Coast this year, but now is the perfect time to enjoy some 'bugs.
1) Ragin Cajun - 4302 Richmond Avenue: If it's the Acadiana atmosphere and good smells of cajun cooking that you love, this is the place for you. Sitting in an unassuming shack of a building just North of the train tracks, you can't miss the place due to the oversized crawfish sitting atop the roof welcoming hungry guests. Known for its "crawfish sludge", the mudbugs here are cooked fresh in a darker seasoning which is hot in more ways than one. If it's a different flavor that you crave, this is the place for you. Wash it down with a frozen Hurricane and you are sure to send your head spinning. A 3.5 lb. bucket will set you back at least $21.00 (higher prices this year due to the colder weather at the beginning of the year) but when you get caught up in the zydeco playing overhead and after five sips of Hurricane, you are sure to go back for more.
2) Sam's Boat - 5720 Richmond Avenue: Once boasting the "spiciest crawfish in town" Sam's Boat is a staple for crawdad lovers all over the city. The patio is generally full of crawfish virgins and seasoned vets alike mulling over the boiled goodness. If you aren't a fan of spice, ask for the topping on the side and season to taste. But if you don't mind sending your mouth on a spicy little vacation, get them all the way.
3) Bayou City Seafood - 4730 Richmond Avenue: Don't let this place fool you. It sits in a strip center aside the best barbecue joint in town, Luling City Market, and a well known chinese/vietnamese joint. Refuse to be turned away by the throngs of well-heeled folks going into this establishment or the ten gallon hats going in for 'cue next door. What is in store for you inside this place is fantastic. Sit in the bar area and chat up the waitstaff who do everything but peel the crawfish for you. The crawfish do not disappoint, but beware, they are so popular that the restaurant may run out on a busy day leaving you hungry and helpless.
A taste of the swamp is here for at least a few months, so find your favorite table in the city, roll up your sleeves and dig in.

On tonight's episode of "Man Fire Food," Roger Mooking, chef, musician and lover of all things smoky and delicious, went to Benton's Smoky Mountain Country Hams in Madisonville, Tenn. and in the episode titled "Hamming It Up."
Roger is on his way to Madisonville to meet with the man himself, Allan Benton to see how they make their hams and bacon, and why chefs all over the country will wait sometimes five weeks for their smoky products. When Roger arrived, the smell told him that he was in hog heaven, and Allan cheerfully told him that it was heaven for lots of hogs since 1973. Roger tasted country ham that was delicious and went to the smoke room to see how they did it at Benton's. The fire came from an old homemade wood stove used to generate the smoke. The add wood at least three times a day.
The next day, Roger returned to helping cure the hams with Allan, provided he did not mind getting his hands dirty. So Roger was ready, willing and able to be turned into a Tennessee hillbilly. He saw how Allan rubbed the hams with salt, brown sugar, sodium nitrite, black and red pepper and coated them well. Then stacked them in a pile, the same way they did before refrigeration. When done, the hams were smoked and aged; some up to two years. The young ones only stay for about six months.
Roger started by cooking some thick sliced bacon to render the grease to cook the ham. Allan had some of his wife's delicious biscuits for Roger and he to have a quick bite of the meat on the yummy biscuit.
Next, Roger was on his way to Virginia to visit with Sam Edwards in Surry. Sam is a third-generation ham master who runs Edwards, with their five smokehouses and makes ham, bacon and sausages. In their eighty-third year, Sam showed Roger how their use of sawdust is the secret ingredient in their smoke. The sawdust keeps the temperature even, and Roger lit the fire with the torch. He observed city hams and country hams, sausages and bacon, but the Surryano, that is similar to prosciutto was amazing. No cooking necessary, but these hams age for about four years and are sliced paper-thin.
Roger fried up some country ham and deglazed the pan with coffee to make gravy that they sopped up with more biscuits. Roger was truly in pig heaven on this episode of "Man Fire Food."

Robotics Team Needs VotesWritten by Huntington Herald on January 26, 2012
A Shelton Intermediate School robotics team needs votes to advance to the finals of a global competition.
As a part of their FIRST Lego League Robotics Competition, students from the SIS Robotic Revolution team created an solution to protect consumers from contaminated eggs. The "Smart Sticker" idea is an indicator sticker on the outside of refrigerated food packaging that indicates if the food product has been kept at the correct temperature during its transportation and storage. If the temperature of the food container reaches a certain unacceptable point for a specified amount of time, the sticker will irreversibly turn red to indicate possible contamination. If the food is placed back into the refrigerated storage facility, the sticker will not turn back to green, but will remain red indicating possible contamination.
The team successfully presented their idea to a panel of judges at the FLL Regional Qualifying Robotics Tournament and was given the Champions Award for their efforts. They then presented it at the FLL Connecticut State Tournament and was awarded the Best Innovative Solution award in the state. This qualifies them to apply for the FLL Global Innovation Award. They have also applied for a provisional patent for their idea and are waiting for final approval in the patent process.
The FLL Global Innovation award is a ,000 grant to help the team refine and produce their idea and is sponsored by the Edison Nation and the State Department of Commerce. Team members include: Victoria O'Malley, Keyur Shah, Raj Ganjikunta, Arivand Ravishankar, Sejal Bhargava, David Dzujna and Joseph Niski. Team members represent the Shelton Intermediate and Perry Hill schools in grades 6, 7 and 8. Finalists for the award will be announced in March.
Part of the selection process is the online voting procedure where the public can help the team be selected by casting online votes. The top 10 vote-getters will advance to the finals along with 10 others selected by judges.
The team asked residents to show support for this project by voting online and passing the information along to friends and family. The more people who cast their votes, the better the chance for the team to reach the finals. Vote for the project by visiting fllinnovationaward.firstlegoleague.org/smart-sticker.

Le'Raven Clark Named To FWAA Freshman All-America Team
Clark graded out as Tech's top offensive lineman in 2012.
Jan. 7, 2013
FWAA Freshman All-America Team
Offensive lineman Le'Raven Clark has been named to the Football Writer's Association Freshman All-America team and becomes the 12th Tech player to take home this first-year honor.
Clark, a redshirt freshman from Rockdale, graded out as Tech's top offensive lineman during the 2012 season, according to former offensive line coach Chris Thomsen. Clark helped anchor a line that allowed just 19 sacks over 13 games, a figure that finished as the fifth best in the Big 12 Conference.
Texas Tech has now had freshman All-Americans in two of the last three seasons as Jarvis Philips took home similar honors in 2010.
Ohio State's first-year coach Urban Meter claimed the first-year coaching honors after his Buckeyes completed a perfect 12-0 regular season.
The team and coach are selected by an 11-person panel of nationally-prominent writers led by Mike Griffith of the MLive Media Group. Both true freshmen (15 players) and redshirt freshmen (15 players) were considered for the team and are so noted.

LinuxWorld To Wet Hands with OpenMoko's Inner Working
OpenMoko has plans to publish the internal details of their Neo FreeRunner and and the Neo 1973 available to the engineers of Linux World and the public under the Creative Common license. Details will soon be available on their website.
This could also be a way to improve the value of Neo FreeRunner in the world market (if in case they have plans to sell it for some hefty bucks)! The release of details to the best experts will surely help OpenMoko to capitalize on the fame it gained during the first week sell out of its phone which was launched on July 4th.
This release will help OpenMoko drive interest of debuggers and hence improve the funcionality of the phone in many ways.

You could just race crits and be near the top for the overall.

Vigil for Missouri teen planned in Montgomery
Published: Thursday, August 14, 2014 at 2:00 p.m.

MONTGOMERY | A vigil is being planned at an Alabama civil rights memorial for the teenager whose killing by police sparked violence in Missouri.
A moment of silence to remember Michael Brown will be held Thursday evening at the Civil Rights Memorial Center in Montgomery.
The event will occur at a memorial dedicated to people who were killed during the civil rights movement.
Police in riot gear and military garb have clashed nightly with protesters since Brown's death in a police shooting on Aug. 9.
Police have said Brown was shot after an officer encountered him and another man on the street.
Police say an officer was assaulted, but witnesses say the 18-year-old Brown had his hands up when he was shot repeatedly.

The Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR) Population Program has had a contract with the Florida Legislature since 1972 to produce annual population estimates for all cities, counties, and unincorporated areas within the state. These estimates are used for a wide variety of purposes by businesses, research analyst, and state and local governments. Furthermore, they are used for allocating more than $2 billion each year to city and county governments through Florida's revenue-sharing programs. Given their many uses, it is essential to evaluate the accuracy of these estimates.
In a recent report published by the BEBR Population Program, researchers describe the methodology used for making state and local population estimates in Florida and evaluate the accuracy of the 2010 estimates by comparing them with the results of the 2010 census. They also evaluate the accuracy of previous BEBR estimates and estimates produced by the U.S. Census Bureau.
The result of their findings can be viewed in the full report located at http://www.bebr.ufl.edu/content/spr-no-8-evaluation-population-estimates-florida-april-1-2010

Flash Review 3, 2-28: Over-40 Plentitude
No Pigeonholing Dancers Over 40
By Chris Dohse
Copyright 2000, 2014 Chris Dohse
NEW YORK -- The eight dances presented by Dancers Over 40 Saturday at the Cunningham Studio defied generalization, just as their creators defy pigeonholing. All of the artists on the program enjoyed successful dance careers before they celebrated the specific birthday that qualified them for group membership, careers that show no sign of sagging. Beyond a common bond of age, however, their works were as varied as a concert of undergraduates. Some of the choreographers, like Graham-trained Deborah Zall, chose a narrow compositional focus within which to display virtuosity--in this case a gift for elegant, amaranthine lifts--in her collaborative duet (with Alexander Proia), "Remembering George Sand." Others appeared to challenge themselves with fresh concerns, as did ex-Paul Taylor dancer Elizabeth Keen in her lighthearted, noodley "It Keeps On."

College Hockey:Quinnipiac Skates to Historic Win
Bobcats Win Inaugural ECAC Contest
HAMDEN, Conn. — The Quinnipiac University Bobcats (7-2-0, 1-0-0 ECACHL) won a decisive 5-2 victory over the #15 ranked Harvard Crimson (1-1-0, 1-1-0 ECACHL) in front of 5,049 at the Hartford Civic Center Friday night.
This was Quinnipiac's inaugural game in the ECAC and first game against Harvard. It proved to be everything and more.
"This was the biggest win in Quinnipiac University history," said Quinnipiac head coach Rand Pecknold.
Quinnipiac rode the momentum of the fan support and a pep talk from Mr. Hockey Gordie Howe himself by capitalizing with a goal, just a minute in.
Chris Myers took the initial shot saved by Crimson goaltender Justin Tobe. David Marshall picked up the rebound and netted it home to make it 1-0 Quinnipiac. Dan Henningson also assisted on the tally.
Harvard answered a little over two minutes later with a goal by Mike Taylor. Peter Hafner won the face off back to Jimmy Fraser who took the shot and Taylor nailed home the rebound.
The Bobcats started the second period on the power play, 5 on 3, and as the first expired, Brian Leitch took a shot on the glove side on Tobe and Ben Nelson, playing on his birthday, slammed home the rebound for a 2-1 lead at 2:19.
Marshall scored his second goal of the night, unassisted, when he won the face off to the left of Tobe, and put it home five hole to take a two goal lead.
"They made some plays, defended well and killed off penalties," said Harvard head coach Ted Donato.
Heading into the third period the Crimson needed to cut the lead in half and did so on a Dan Murphy power play goal. Murphy went glove side high on Bobcats net minder Bud Fisher at 2:12.
After the goal, the Quinnipiac students, all dressed in yellow and known as the "Crazy Bobcats," rallied behind their school along with other fans and supporters.
It helped.
Quinnipiac got its second power play goal of the night, this time by Mark Van Vliet, when he snipped a shot in the slot stick side of Tobe. Reid Cashman and Myers assisted on the goal.
Mike Bordieri sealed the victory with an empty net goal to finish the score at 5-2.
"It's a great feeling, but we still have twenty-one games to go," said Cashman. "There is still a lot of work to do."
Tobe made 18 saves in the loss and Bud Fisher made 35 for the Bobcats improving his record to 5-1. He has won his last five decisions.
"Everyone was working hard and blocking shots, making my job easier," he commented after the game.
Marshall, Cashman, and Myers each finished the night with two points.
Quinnipiac returns to action tomorrow against Dartmouth at the Northford Ice Pavilion, while Harvard travels to play Princeton. Both games are slated for a 7 P.M. start time.

Hockey Falls To Michigan State, 6-1
Nov. 10, 2001
EAST LANSING, Mich. - Michigan State senior captain Adam Hall (Kalamazoo, Mich.) notched his first career hat trick, leading the Spartans (6-2-1 overall, 5-2-1 Central Collegiate Hockey Association) to a 6-1 triumph over Massachusetts Friday.
Hall scored the game's first two goals, both on the power play. The first came 3:51 into the opening period when he tipped in a John-Michael Liles (Zionsville, Ind.) shot from the blue line. Junior wing Brian Maloney (Bassano, Alta.) fed Hall for his second extra-man goal of the night at 7:28.
"Adam Hall is the consummate leader in the locker room, in the classroom, on the ice in practice," said Michigan State head coach Ron Mason. "Tonight he really stepped it up and was able to accomplish some things that he hasn't been able to do for awhile."
Junior defenseman Brad Fast (Fort St. John, B.C.) gave the Spartans a 3-0 with a goal at 14:17 of the opening period. He took the puck off the draw and walked to the front of the Minutemen goal unmolested before beating goaltender Mike Johnson.
All three first-period goals - even the one Fast scored - were all great plays by the centerman doing a drawback, said Hall. "Our defense did a great job of getting the pucks to the net to the night," said Hall, who earned his hat trick 14:10 into the second period on an unassisted goal. Brock Radunske (New Hamburg, Ont.) followed Hall's effort with the Spartans' fifth goal of the night just 14 seconds later when he banged home a rebound off a Jim Slater (Lapeer, Mich.) shot.
"I was so happy to see all the guys score," said Hall, who now has six goals this season. "(It's) just (a great) feeling whenever it goes in. When Brock got his tonight, you see all the passion they have when they celebrate. It really makes it worth it to be a part of this team."
Liles added MSU's sixth goal off an assist from Hall 5:34 into the third period. The Minutemen (3-4-0 overall, 2-1-0 HOCKEY EAST) scored their lone goal of the night about halfway through the third when Thomas Pock scored after Spartan goaltender Ryan Miller (East Lansing, Mich.) got turned around after making a clearing attempt.
Miller stopped 22 shots on the night with freshman netminder Matt Migliaccio (Wyandotte, Mich.) stopping all six shots he faced in 9:02 of work in the final frame. Johnson made 28 saves for UMass.
"I thought we played pretty darn well," said Mason. "(In the) first period we controlled the whole tempo of the game. When you are ahead like that you sometimes wonder if you can sustain that for three periods the way we did."
The Spartans return to conference play next week when they welcome Miami to Munn Ice Arena for a two-game set Friday-Saturday, Nov. 16-17. Faceoff is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. EST both nights.

It's not all my fault. Before Mother's Day I was bombarded with brunch and gift suggestions for Mom. Business have been much more lax about hyping their Father's Day offerings.
Makes sense. Fathers just want to not be bothered. Mothers want attention. But Mothers often make children feel guilty if they don't give Fathers attention too, probably because their day is such a big deal it looks bad if nobody notices dad's holiday.
Maybe another reason is that over the past generation and a half, the image of the quintessential Dad has gone from Windsor-knotted Father Knows Best to potbellied Homer Simpson. Quite a devolution, and inappropriate to ponder on this holiday.
At any rate, I don't know a single dad anymore who is excited about a necktie, and except for that, most things (besides being left alone) that Dads want are expensive. Cars. Golf clubs. La-Z-Boys. Plasmas.
This year, though, you can fall back on the reliable tie.
Because this year, the shopping has been done for you, and it's a joke - the team at Faustina in downtown Salt Lake has been scouring the city for the ugliest ties it can find and are giving them to all the dads who dine at Faustina on Father's Day.
Executive Chef Billy Sotelo will also feature his prime rib special, served with garlic mashed potatoes and fresh spring asparagus for just $24 from 5 to 9 p.m. The beautiful patio will be open, weather permitting.
Faustina is located at 454 E. 300 South. Call 801-746-4441 or go to faustinaslc.com.
On the other hand, if your Father is more a fishy kind of guy, head for the Oasis for Lobster Brunch. Oasis Café, also in downtown S.L.C. at 151 S. 500 East, will be featuring lobster specials for Father's Day Brunch. From 8 a.m. - 2:30 p.m., diners can add lobster to any dish for just $5. Call 801-322-0404 or go to OasisCafeSLC.com.
Happy Father's Day, all you daddy-o's.

The current theme of Colin's work centres around the translation of scientific ideas from abstract esoteric constructs into solid and real world models or agents of understanding. It comments on the perception of scientific explanation in an increasingly secular society.
The work often involves models of organic subjects or theoretical objects contained in vessels or cubes and optically obscured or distorted. Glass is used as both a modelling material and as a controlled window through which to observe; glass has the faculty to modulate light and transparency it is a metaphor for the visible and the invisible, or the grey areas between science and myth and idea and perception.

Smith Named a Finalist for Yeardley Love Unsung Hero Award
PRINCETON, N.J. (5/15/14) - Today One Love Foundation, a leading nonprofit dedicated to ending relationship violence in honor of Yeardley Reynolds Love, announced Princeton women's lacrosse player Colleen Smith as a 2014 Yeardley Reynolds Love Unsung Hero Award finalist.
This prestigious award is given each year to a men's and women's Division I lacrosse player who shares the qualities Yeardley Love so humbly displayed.
"Smith's hard work and leadership made her the backbone of Princeton's defense," said Sharon Robinson, One Love Foundation National Advisory Counsel member and former Yale women's lacrosse captain. "She honors Yeardley's memory by motivating her teammates each and every day, from playing with a casted hand to making funny and inspirational videos."
Smith was recently named to the 2014 All Ivy-League team and is a graduate of Loyola Academy in Wilmette, IL.
The Yeardley Reynolds Love ("YRL") Unsung Hero Award recognizes the accomplishments of a student-athlete who helps his or her team achieve success in ways that may not be measured in goals, saves or ground balls. This honor is meaningful because it places value on characteristics that are often undervalued in the competitively charged environment of college lacrosse. The winners will be announced on May 31, 2014, at the Bayhawks game in Annapolis, MD, and will be awarded a donation to a charity of their choice.
Yeardley was given the Betty and Money Yates Unsung Hero Award at the University of Virginia in 2010. This award is given each year to the lacrosse player who best exemplifies dedication and leadership to the team.
The One Love Foundation was established in 2010 by Sharon and Lexie Love, as well as additional family and friends, to honor the memory of Yeardley Reynolds Love. The "One" represents the number Yeardley wore on her jersey during her high school and college lacrosse career. The number has since been retired by the University of Virginia in her memory.

Boston Celtics Rumors: Paul Pierce To Be Bought Out, Sent To China For Stephon Marbury?
Even Paul Pierce most likely thinks being bought out makes sense for the Celtics. After all, they're trying to get younger. But, being sent to China for a 36-year-old Stephon Marbury instead of another NBA team? That might make him -- and Celtics fans -- question some things. (Photo: Reuters)
A report from Rich Levine of CSNNE.com noted that, according to NBA circles who spoke with ESPN NBA analyst and radio host Stephen A. Smith, Boston Celtics veteran Paul Pierce could be going to the Beijing Ducks as part of a package for Stephon Marbury, who played for the Celtics briefly in 2009.
Follow Us :
In an offseason for the Celtics filled with rampant rumor and speculation involving Pierce and fellow veteran teammate Kevin Garnett, this latest rumor may come as a surprise to some, but not to others. Marbury hasn't played in the NBA since his time in Boston four years ago, when he appeared in 23 games (four games started) and averaged 3.8 points per game. Pierce is going to be 36 in October and his value has steadily declined over recent years.
Pierce's future has been especially pressing, given that the 15-year man is set to enter the final year of the four-year, $61 million deal that he signed in 2010, which is scheduled to pay him $15.3 million for the 2013-14 season. General manager Danny Ainge said on his final weekly appearance of the 2012-13 season on Boston sports radio WEEI (93.7 FM) that the first decision he will make in terms of Boston offseason moves involves Pierce.
It seems to make sense that Pierce would get bought out. While his contract is only guaranteed for $5 million, the Celtics can amnesty him and wipe away his salary from their books to get younger. Bringing in a guy like Marbury, who is also 36, wouldn't make Boston younger, but given his success playing in China, he could provide the team with more of the offensive firepower that was lacking this past season.
Consider that his average in points has increased each year he has spent in China since 2009. In his first year, he averaged 22.9 points per game with the Shanxi Zhongyu Brave Dragons. In his following two seasons with the Foshan Dralions, he averaged 25.2 and 27.0 points per game, respectively. And, this past season with the Beijing Ducks, he averaged 28.3 points per game.
So, it looks as if Marbury has risen from the ashes in a sense, dominating the Chinese Basketball Association in stark contrast to his closing years in the NBA. However, the NBA game and international game are very different, and the domination that Marbury exerted overseas could very well fail to carry over should he make a comeback in a swap for Pierce. Guard play in the NBA is much younger and faster, so much so that a 36-year-old guard might soon figure out that his contributions are minimal at best.

If you're a theatergoer who loved Jersey Boys and the music from the 60's and the Four Seasons, now's your chance to enjoy the real deal when Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons hit the Hard Rock Live in Hollywood this March.
Ticket prices range from $44-$74, and there will be two shows: March 2, 2012 and March 3, 2012. Each show starts at 8pm (doors open at 7pm). Tickets go on sale Friday, January 6, 2011 at 12 noon at Ticketmaster.
While Valli is the only member of the original group that will be performing, the group has recently gotten rave reviews and I'm sure they won't disappoint South Florida fans with this show. I'm a child of the 70's, but know and love many of the hits and this is our chance to see a music legend!
About Frankie Vallie and The Four Seasons (credit Wikipedia)
Group members from 1960–1965 were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, and joined the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1999. They are one of the best-selling musical groups of all time, having sold 175 million records worldwide.
Valli scored 29 Top 40 hits with The 4 Seasons, one Top 40 hit under The Four Seasons' alias 'The Wonder Who?', and nine Top 40 hits as a solo artist. As a member of The 4 Seasons, Valli's number one hits included "Sherry" (1962), "Big Girls Don't Cry" (1962), "Walk Like a Man" (1963), "Rag Doll" (1964) and "December 1963 (Oh, What A Night)" (1975). Valli's recording of the song "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" reached number two in 1967. "You're Ready Now", a Valli solo recording from 1966, became a surprise hit in Great Britain as part of the Northern soul scene and hit number eleven on the British pop charts in December 1970. As a solo artist, Valli scored number one hits with the songs "My Eyes Adored You" (1974) and "Grease" (1978).
