College Hockey:Golden Knights Get Five From Five For Five
Five Different Clarkson Players Get Goals, Walsh Stops 29 To Extend Streak
POTSDAM, N.Y. — Don Smith, Dave Evans, and Chris Line each had a goal and an assist as Clarkson (10-6-3, 5-2-2 ECAC) skated past Vermont 5-2 in front of 3,169 fans at Cheel Arena Saturday.
In all, five different Clarkson players scored goals, extending the Golden Knights' win streak to five games.
After playing in its fourth straight overtime game the night before, Vermont (9-9-1, 5-5-1 ECAC) started the game strong with offensive pressure and puck control.
"We had to weather the storm," said Line. "We knew [Vermont] had played four overtime games in the last four games. We knew they were going to come out flying after losing to St. Lawrence last night, so we had to wait and focus on playing on our game."
It took Clarkson a few minutes to counter the Catamounts' solid play, but the Golden Knights struck first midway through the first period on a rebound goal by Evans.
Line had the puck deep in the Vermont zone along the left-side boards, and put a shot on net that was saved by goaltender Tim Peters. The rebound bounced out in front of Peters, and Evans, all alone in front of the net, was able to poke the rebound in to the goal before Peters could close the five-hole.
Vermont would match that goal before the intermission. A tripping penalty to Rob McFeeters gave the Catamounts the advantage, and they wasted little time as Andreas Moborg was able to capitalize on the mistake. Martin Wilde cycled the puck over to Moborg on the blue line, and Moborg one-timed it on net, beating goaltender Mike Walsh and tying the game at one.
Clarkson broke the game wide open in the second, scoring three goals in just under 10 minutes. McFeeters atoned for his earlier mistake by giving the Golden Knights the lead back just 2:10 into the frame. Murray Kuntz took a shot at Peters that was saved, but the puck found its way out to McFeeters. With Peters out of position, McFeeters was able to score with ease, making it 2-1.
Less than two minutes later, Clarkson picked up its second goal of the period, a power-play marker by Smith. Smith redirected a shot by Kerry Ellis-Toddington and put the Golden Knights ahead 3-1.
The third goal came at 9:25 in the period, as Line poked a loose puck past Peters. Evans had taken the shot from the right side of the ice which bounced off Peters's right leg. Line was in position to snatch up the rebound and put it home before Peters could recover, giving Clarkson a solid 4-1 lead.
"Our guys have really picked up that area of the game now," said Clarkson coach Mark Morris on his team's second-period play. "Early on in the season that's where we seemed to falter, but we've turned that around, and I guess that's why we've been finding ways to win." In the past three games alone, Clarkson has scored 10 out of 14 goals in the second period.
"The second period [Clarkson] played really well," said Vermont coach Mike Gilligan. "They battled, they came at us really hard. I was really happy at the end of the first period, and I was miserable at the end of the second."
"I felt that this was the third or fourth game in a row we haven't scored timely goals when we've had the opportunity. [Walsh] was excellent."
Walsh had played strong through two periods, but in the third period Vermont turned up the intensity. One potential Catamount goal was waved off as play was blown dead by the referee before the puck crossed the goal line, and later on in the period, Walsh stopped a 2-on-1 Vermont breakaway. In the third period alone, Walsh made 16 saves.
The Golden Knights picked up their final goal of the evening on the power play as Matt Poapst recovered a rebound from Peters and scored, making it 5-1.
Vermont, meanwhile, tallied one more goal late in the period. The Catamounts had the man-advantage, and J.F. Gamelin redirected a shot from the blue line by Jim Gernander that made it past Walsh for a final score of 5-2.
The power play continues to be strong for Clarkson, as the Golden Knights went 2-for-7 with the extra man. Both of Vermont's goals came on the power play as the Catamounts capitalized on two of eight attempts. Vermont outshot Clarkson, 31-24.
Walsh rolled to his fifth straight win with a solid performance, allowing two goals and making 29 saves. Peters stopped 19 shots and allowed five goals.
Vermont will host ECAC foes Rensselaer and Union next weekend, while Clarkson will travel to central New York to face Cornell and Colgate. Earlier this season, Clarkson lost to Cornell in the first round of the Syracuse Invitational Tournament 2-1, before beating Colgate the next night.

text: May 25, 2013 11:50 Bernanke to miss conference Bernanke to miss conference Photo provided by DAVID MORELAND The deer-hunting season ended more than two months ago, but the memories of the season will linger until Saturday for the annual Bowie Outfitters' Big Buck Contest. Area hunters have until 1 p.m. Friday to enter bucks legally taken during the 2012-2013 season from Louisiana and other states. The top bucks in seven categories will receive prizes, and anyone entering a buck, no matter its size, will be entered into a drawing for the contest's grand prize. BY JOE MACALUSO| Advocate Outdoors writer Comments David Moreland promised David Reynerson that he (Moreland) could come up with a can't-miss big-buck contest. "People kept telling me that Bowie's (Outfitters) should have a big-buck contest, but I always thought they were unfair," Reynerson said. "But Dave told me he had something in mind, and that no one would complain about the outcome." Five years later, and the fifth Bowie Outfitters Big Buck Contest set Saturday at the Perkins Road store has proved Moreland right. Moreland, the former state Wildlife Division chief, former state Deer Study leader and pioneer of the State Deer Recognition Program, had a good grip on what a contest should be. "We've got first places in seven categories," Reynerson said, adding that men, women, youths, muzzleloader-crossbow, rifle and bowhunting are open for deer taken in Louisiana with another category for all out-of-state deer taken. The biggest draw is that hunters entering all legal bucks taken during the 2012-2013 season are eligible for the grand prize: a rifle, shotgun or bow fitted to the winner's specs. "That's proven to be the big draw," Reynerson said. "And it's helped Dave continue with the State Records programs. The Bowie contest has provided more bucks for the Recognition and Records program than any other in the state for the last four years. "Another draw," Reynerson said, "is that baseball stars and avid hunters Ben McDonald, Will Clark and Ryan Theriot will be on hand to talk hunting and baseball. "And we'll have enough food and drink for anyone who shows up." Reynerson said the contest will be open until 1 p.m. Friday. Anyone having a buck, even a photo of a buck taken during the recent season, can submit it for the contest. Need more info, call the store (225) 766-1200. Hatchery emergency Problems at the state's Huey P. Long Fish Hatchery in Lacombe forced Department of Wildlife and Fisheries secretary Robert Barham to issue a Declaration of Emergency in order to initiate improvements to ensure the facility's continued productivity. Barham said plans call for improvements like reshaping and reconfiguring the five existing hatchery ponds, adding new kettle drains, along with new drainage and air-lift systems. According to the news release, Barham cited Louisiana Revised Statute 38:2211 (et. seq.) for the emergency ruling. Jr. Bassmasters Tony Gafford III of Denham Springs took the 15-18 age-group title and Ragley's Payton Holland won the 11-14 age group in Saturday's Louisiana B.A.S.S.

Football player AJ McCarron is now an engaged man. News is out that he popped the question to Katherine Webb. Reality TV fans know her from the diving show "Splash" that aired last summer. On March 28, Bleacher Report shared the news about their big engagement.
She announced the engagement over Twitter. Katherine posted a picture that said that they are engaged and also shared a picture of her big engagement ring. She also shared a picture of just the ring and it is gorgeous.
AJ McCarron took a lot of time preparing for this engagement. He actually designed the ring himself and made it exactly what he thought she would like and it looks like he did a great job.
He will be playing in the NFL this year and so it is likely that Katherine Webb will be in the stands cheering on her fiance. There is no news yet of when they will tie the knot. Fans are wishing the happy couple the best.

Post subject: European historicals about "normal" people?
I've been reading romance since the early 90's, and lately I've begun to wonder if there are any European historicals that
feature the peerage and/or the fabulously rich. Although I realize that it's somewhat more exciting to read about "the beautiful people," I would be interested in hearing suggestions from people who've read books that take place on a somewhat smaller stage. I suppose pirates, soldiers, and vampires would be ok, but I'm really looking for something different--kind of like the European version of the American colonial/frontier romance. Any suggestions?

Fair question, Aiven. I write Regencies myself, so take my suggestions with the appropriate waivers.
Romance is to a great degree about fantasy. I think, and someone will correct me if I'm wrong, that we like to fantasise about people who have a certain standard of living, and perhaps more importantly, a degree of self determination. We want to read about people who have the potential to have some control over their own lives. Many of the "ordinary" people in Europe didn't have any of that (unless they emigrated to America, in which case it becomes a colonial/frontier romance). I think this is why so many European romances centre on the upper classes. This is not to say other stories couldn't work, but they might verge more towards historical fiction as opposed to romance, which as some might say, has the fairytale element. You could look at Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series if you want a little more grit in your romance. Madeleine Hunter wrote at least one medieval where the hero was an artisan, (By Design, I think.) so they are out there.
I see this is only your second post; welcome.

Try Carla Kelly. Many of her books do not have aristocratic H/H, but they nonetheless fulfill my definition of Romance.

Thanks for the kind welcome and thoughtful response. I totally agree about the fantasy aspects of historicals and romance in general--this is, after all, why even our medieval h/h tend to have "even, white teeth."
I did read one of the Outlander books (Dragonfly in Amber.. I didn't realize at the time that it was a series) and enjoyed its grittier nature. And come to think of it, even the urban fantasy/paranormals I read are always about the head of the most powerful vampire clan or the Alpha werewolf of the Alpha clan or some other preternaturally elevated character. So there's always been an appeal and a sense of higher stakes when the nobility is involved, at least for me.
Susan, it actually was Carla Kelly that inspired me to ask about the availability of this type of historical romance. I read and enjoyed THE SURGEON'S LADY, and though there was a Lady AND a soldier the conflict had little to do with high society or reputations or debts or estates. It was different. Not that there's anything wrong with a devilish-and-titled-rake, mind you. It just made me wonder if there were other books out there where unusual societal niches/settings are explored, or where the romance of the nobility is secondary to the romance of less societally elevated characters. (In THE SURGEON'S LADY, the heroine is a bastard titled by marriage working as a nurse and the hero is a surgeon.)

Yeah, I definitely get a bit tired of it always being nobility.
For some reason these discussions often turn out like those who feel this way want NO nobility, or that it's between a duke or someone living in abject poverty. While the latter doesn't really appeal to me either, why not something in between? Have you tried Lisa Kleypas? Lots of her heroes are noble, but she has quite a few who are 'self made' men. I can't think of all the titles offhand, but 'Dreaming of You' is probably her most popular, hero definitely no noble. Also non-noble heroes=Suddenly You, Again the Magic, her Bow Street series..
I'd love to see more characters who have jobs--characters can live just fine without needing to resort to extreme riches, IMO.

If you don't insist on strict romances, but will take them with mystery elements, there are quite a few that deal with non-nobility -- entertainers, a midwife's apprentice, etc. You can dip into Ellis Peters' Brother Cadfael series as a start. A few of the books mention the royal court, but most deal with the county sheriff, the citizens of Shrewsbury, and people who range from local gentry to beggars and vagabonds.
There's another series with Roger the Chapman (a peddler). The author is Kate Sedley.

, there are plenty of romances which feature people who are not of the noble classes - but perhaps they'd be classified as "historical fiction with a romance sub-plot". Thus, many would also deal with social issues of the day - industrial revolution, and other social upheavals. One of my favourite romances is Elizabeth Gaskell's
North and South
- the hero and heroine are not noble at all, and there is a class divide. The heroine would have been of the gentility. Others include Jane Austen's perennially popular works, and the Bronte sisters' books.
Apart from the romances already mentioned, Penelope Williamson, Pamela Morsi and LaVyrle Spencer wrote about heroes and heroines who were not rich and titled, and there is a grittiness to their romances (especially Williamson's) which are reminiscent of Gabaldon. But these are mainly "Americana" romances. Catherine Cookson was very popular in the UK and she wrote very many historical romances featuring "normal" people. I agree with

It seems to me that Laura Lee Gurkhe's Victorians feature characters who aren't necessarily members of the aristocracy. Also I just downloaded the free companion read to Caroline Linden's upcoming release For Your Arms Only, and that one doesn't look to feature aristos, either. That one's not coming out until the 24th though.

Yes, Dreaming of You is one and the Bow Street series - all good books. A Scandal in Spring is another one. Neither Daisy nor Matthew are nobility, although Daisy's family is rich. Some of Judith Ivory's books do not have noble heroes or heroines, IIRC. Sleeping Beauty, I think is an example, but I could be wrong.

I realize that if you've been reading since the mid 1990's you've probably read her books, but those are the only ones off the top of my head that I can think of that don't entail only the nobles. Great books too.

sometimes the authors of "historical fiction", as opposed to "historical romance" feature members of the working class.
I recently read a book by Gillian Bradshaw, called "London in Chains" where the heroine was working as a printer in seventeenth century London. The hero is a soldier.
A month ago I read another book set in the seventeenth century, by Rosalind Laker, in which the heroine created cosmetics and ointments. It was "Garlands of Gold". I can't remember the hero's occupation but he was not titled and I'm pretty sure he was in business in some way

I LOVE Catherine Cookson - she writes romances with working class heroes/heroines, especially in the north. Obviously grittier than the usual fare but great romances nonetheless. What I love about her is she doesn't romanticise either the lower or upper classes - seeing the good and bad of both. But the fact that her heroes/heroines manage to find love and romance at the end always gives you that silly grin that you need from romance
In terms of mainstream romance, I would just echo Carla Kelly, Penelope Williamson and Lisa Kleypas as writers who often write "common people". Connie Brockway also - her classic ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT and AS YOU DESIRE feature commoners as both the h/h. And as someone mentioned - Judith Ivory/Cuevas as well: THE PROPOSITION is a favourite of mine. Patricia Gaffney's Wykerley trilogy as well - Sebastian in TO HAVE AND TO HOLD is the only real aristocrat.
If you're looking for Medieval romance, then you obviously have Madeleine Hunter's BY XXX trilogy - all of which have either the hero or heroine as a commoner. Roberta Gellis has two great books: MASQUES OF GOLD (middle class) and THE ROPE DANCER (street entertainers/working class). Also Carol Townend's AN HONORABLE ROGUE and Blythe Gifford's books have middle class characters.
I think we need a new Special Title listing here!

Hi, and welcome...
One of my very favorite writers is Anne Perry, who writes two different series from Victorian London times. They're not romances in the strictest sense, but both series feature happily-married couples who complement each other so very well. Neither includes nobility (other than a sister-in-law in one series) but are mysteries, and the way Perry describes everything from gas lamps glowing to Bow Street runners' britches is incredible, IMO. I love historical romances, but sometimes it's so refreshing to read about regular folk in regular homes with regular jobs. A good writer, which Perry certainly is, can make most anything at all interesting...

Minutemen Outdueled By #18 UCF, 2-1
March 11, 2012
ORLANDO, Fla. - The UMass baseball team held a 1-0 lead through four-and-a-half, but #18 UCF pushed across runs in the fifth and seventh to take the series finale, 2-1 on Sunday afternoon at Jay Bergman Field. With its second one-run loss of the weekend the Minutemen fall to 0-3 to start 2012, while the Knights improve to 13-4.
After putting runners in scoring position in the first two innings, but not being able to plate a run, UMass manufactured the first of the contest in the top of the third. Redshirt sophomore Ryan Cusick dropped a leadoff single into center, stole second and was sacrificed over to third to set up an RBI groundout by sophomore Dylan Begin.
Starter Joe Popielarczyk allowed just one runner past first base through the first 4.1 innings, but UCF managed to tie the score at 1-1 with back-to-back doubles by Nick Carrillo and Ronnie Richardson with one away in the bottom of the fifth.
Then in the bottom of the seventh, D.J. Hicks came through with a two-out RBI single through the right side of the infield to put the Knights on top, 2-1. Carrillo, who led off the frame with a single, came home on the play after moving to third with a sacrifice bunt and an infield hit off the bat of Travis Shreve.
Upon returning to the field, Shreve prevented the tying run from coming home for UMass in the top of the eighth. The UCF second baseman robbed senior Tom Conley of a base hit that would have scored sophomore Nick Sanford from third, ending the inning with an acrobatic grab.
Popielarczyk did not factor into the decision in his start, but pitched a solid 5.1 innings for the Minutemen, limiting the Knights to one run on six hits, walking three and striking out two. Freshman Tim Cassidy took the loss (0-1) for UMass after allowing one run on two hits in one inning on the hill.
Roman Madrid threw two perfect innings of relief for UCF to collect the win (2-1), while Joe Rodgers recorded the save (4). Rodgers pitched a scoreless ninth, allowed one hit and struck out one.
Cusick was the lone Minuteman to log multiple hits on the afternoon, finishing 2-for-3 with a run scored, a walk and three stolen bases. Carrillo, Chris Taladay and James Vasquez all batted 2-for-4 for the Knights with Carrillo scoring both runs.
UMass will be back in action on Tuesday, Mar. 13, slated to play at Hartford at 3 p.m.

The tool doesn't generate the best markup, but the ability to export your animations out of Flash to HTML, even if the final code needs some clean up, will certainly be appreciated by many developers. Flash isn't going away anytime soon but many will want to move their Flash content to HTML5 so it can run on devices that don't support Adobe's plug-in.
Wallaby means that Flash developers can easily reuse graphics, masks, and animations from their Flash projects in an HTML file. This previously took hours to do by hand. The tool will also tell you which elements can't be converted, like animated masks, filters, and ActionScript.

Millions of pints later, Oktoberfest closes
Posted at: 10/07/2012 1:05 PM
(AP) BERLIN - Munich's famed celebration of beer, the Oktoberfest, is drawing to a close after some 6.4 million visitors downed an estimated 6.9 million liter mugs of Bavarian brew _ some 14.6 million pints.
Organizers said they were satisfied with this year's event, which opened Sept. 22 and ends Sunday _ although visitor numbers were lower than last year.
Festival director Dieter Reiter says that's because the festival grounds were reduced to accommodate an agricultural fair which takes place every four years, news agency dapd reported. In 2011, the Oktoberfest drew some 6.9 million visitors, who downed well over 7 million liters.
The Oktoberfest draws visitors from across the world _ many of whom try out traditional Bavarian dress. Reiter says: "Purely from a visual point of view, there are only Bavarians."

Last night's finale of "The Bachelor" was a shocker to most fans of the reality show. It was also a tense time for host Chris Harrison as he had to ask Juan Pablo Galavis the usual questions that he always asks during the "After the Final Rose" show. In an interview posted on Yahoo News on March 11, Harrison admits that he feels frustrated with him.
While interviewing Juan Pablo last night in front of millions of viewers, Harrison seemed dumbfounded by the 'non-answers' he got from him after he asked the question of whether he is really in love with his final girl, Nikki Ferrell. Juan Pablo seemed confused as to why the host, and all of America, was left wondering why he signed up for the show in the first place.
Chris Harrison said that most people thought that he didn't like Juan Pablo or that he was angry with him. However, the 42-year-old host said that he was just trying to help him during this season, so he was mainly just frustrated with the Venezuelan. It was obvious to some viewers that Harrison was not on the show much at all during this season and this may be the reason why.
Harrison also said that Juan Pablo seemed to fight the whole process of "The Bachelor." That was quite obvious last night when the former soccer player decided not to reveal any personal details on his feelings towards Nikki and says that he doesn't want any publicity from now on about their relationship. Last season's bachelor, Sean Lowe, even chimed in on how publicity is what you sign up for, even after the show ends. Juan Pablo didn't seem to understand that.
When asked if Juan Pablo is capable of love, Chris Harrison answered, "That is a multi-million dollar question. I don't know."
What are your feelings on what occurred during the finale of "The Bachelor" last night?

The hostname <--> IP address mapping is done by the nameservers, which probably are handled by your registrar (but you'd have to check if the nameserver for your domain is handled by your hosting provider). If
Do you have access to the server that the site is running on? You should be able to set up an Apache vhost to handle the hostname requests, but if you mean something like shop.mysite.com and you can't access the registrar for mysite.com, then i think you're out of luck without something like a domain transfer. Do you have access to the DNS server that points to the site? A CNAME record would create a subdomain.
if your domain is set up in such way, that every subdomain forwards to your domain (for example, if anything.yourdomain.com is redirected to your hosting at yourdomain.com) then you can simply define few rules in .htaccess file to handle subdomain requeste (if you are allowed to have custom .htaccess...)

The Charlotte Observer, Todd Sumlin, Associated Press
SEATTLE — Scuffles broke out and police were brought in to quell unrest that nearly turned into riots across the nation Friday following the release of Nike's new Air Jordan basketball shoes — a retro model of one of the most popular Air Jordans ever made.
The mayhem stretched from Washington state to Georgia and was reminiscent of the violence that broke out 20 years ago in many cities as the shoes became popular targets for thieves. It also had a decidedly Black Friday feel as huge crowds of shoppers overwhelmed stores for a must-have item.
In suburban Seattle, police used pepper spray on about 20 customers who started fighting at the Westfield Southcenter mall. The crowd started gathering at four stores in the mall around midnight and had grown to more than 1,000 people by 4 a.m., when the stores opened, Tukwila Officer Mike Murphy said. He said it started as fighting and pushing among people in line and escalated over the next hour.
Murphy said no injuries were reported, although some people suffered cuts or scrapes from fights. Shoppers also broke two doors, and 18-year-old man was arrested for assault after authorities say he punched an officer.
"He did not get his shoes; he went to jail," Murphy said.
The $180 shoes went on sale Friday in a limited release at stores, and the lines began forming several hours before businesses opened.
As the crowds kept growing through the night, they became more unruly and ended in vandalism, violence and arrests.
A man was stabbed when a brawl broke out between several people waiting in line at a Jersey City, N.J., mall to buy the new shoes, authorities said. The 20-year-old man was expected to recover from his injuries.
In Georgia, officers said they had to break a car window to get two toddlers out after a woman went in after the shoes. They said she was taken into custody when she returned to the car.
In Richmond, Calif., police say crowds waiting to buy the Air Jordan 11 Retro Concords at the Hilltop Mall were turned away after a gunshot rang out around 7 a.m.
No injuries were reported, but police said a 24-year-old suspect was taken into custody. The gun apparently went off inadvertently, the Contra Costa Times reported.
Seventeen-year-old Dylan Pulver in Great Neck, N.Y., said he's been looking forward to the release of the shoes for several years, and he set out at 4:30 a.m. to get a pair. After the first store he tried was too crowded, he moved on to a second location and scored a pair.
"I probably could have used a half a size smaller, but I was just really happy to have the shoe," he said.
The frenzy over Air Jordans has been dangerous in the past. Some people were mugged or even killed for early versions of the shoe, created by Nike Inc. in 1984.
The Air Jordan has since been a consistent hit with sneaker fans, spawning a subculture of collectors willing to wait hours to buy the latest pair. Some collectors save the shoes for special occasions or never take them out of the box.
A new edition was launched each year, and release dates had to be moved to the weekends at some points to keep kids from skipping school to get a pair.
But the uproar over the shoe had died down in recent years. These latest incidents seem to be part of trend of increasing acts of violence at retailers this holiday shopping season, such as the shopper who pepper-sprayed others at a Wal-Mart in Los Angeles on Black Friday and crowds looting a clothing store in New York.
Nike issued a statement in response to the violence that said: "Consumer safety and security is of paramount importance. We encourage anyone wishing to purchase our product to do so in a respectful and safe manner."

Manatee sheriff pushes for reward in Mullins death case
Published: Thursday, October 3, 2013 at 3:45 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 3, 2013 at 3:45 p.m.
MANATEE COUNTY - Sheriff Brad Steube has asked the Gold Star Club of Manatee County Inc., a group of concerned citizens who support law enforcement, for $10,000 to add to the reward fund in the Pat Mullins case.
The nonprofit, which was formed in 1999 and limits its membership to 45 couples, granted the sheriff's request.
After a successful fundraiser, held last weekend by the Mullins family, the addition brings the total reward available in the case to more than $20,000.
Sheriff's Office spokesman Dave Bristow said the idea came after the family's fundraiser.
"We've been thinking about this since we saw they were going to do this and thought we would approach Gold Star," Bristow said.
Bristow said the club usually helps with reward funds "for homicides that are unsolved or when we've run out of leads."
"This one is a little different because it's undetermined and it's at a standstill," he said.
Bristow said a recent lead in the case — the details of which were not made public — is still under investigation.
"We're still working the case," he said. "We want what the family wants, resolution. That's what we've said all along."
Jill Mullins said she was "impressed" by the additional funds.
"I do hope it will lead to a quicker resolution," she said.
Her husband, Pat Mullins, 52, went missing on Jan. 27 on the Braden River while testing a boat motor he had recently refurbished. His boat was found two days later. There were no signs of foul play.
Mullins' body was found seven days later near Emerson Point. It was in four feet of water, strapped securely to a 25-pound boat anchor.
The cause of death was determined to be a shotgun blast to the head, although forensic experts cannot rule out that the popular Palmetto High School librarian was shot more than once.
The Manatee County Sheriff's Office handling of the investigation has drew criticism from Mullins' family and intense scrutiny from the media and the public.
Investigators acknowledged that they found no reason why Pat Mullins would have taken his own life. They found no health scares, drug or alcohol problems or financial problems. They confirmed Pat Mullins never owned a shotgun.
The active case is under review by Inspector Bud Johnson, a seasoned homicide investigator from the agency's cold case unit and Detective Sgt. Joe Skala, who oversees the sheriff's homicide unit.

This article was written by Bernie Ashman posted under Astrology
Each of the twelve signs of the zodiac has the potential to carry us back into past life memories and patterns. In my new book Sun Signs & Past Lives: Your Soul's Evolutionary Path, I say in the introduction that each of us in the course of our lifetime will be asked by the universe to understand the basic nature of each sign. Why? Because the twelve signs represent a total life experience in which your soul needs to be immersed.
It is true that your own unique birth chart based on your day and time of birth, as well as geographical location, points to which particular signs (and planets) will be particularly accentuated for you. Your own Sun sign will show the way you like to shine in life and radiate your creative power. However, the more each of us learns to master the energies of each sign, the more we become complete and experience the greatest soul growth.
The purpose of this article is to describe the way each sign can act as a catalyst to stimulate your past life awakenings. Past life memories and talents are embedded in your consciousness just waiting to be rediscovered. Their energies are often influencing your decisions and thoughts, perhaps without your knowing it. The astrological signs are powerful symbols that have the potential to guide you into greater happiness, fulfillment, and abundance.
Think of the twelve signs as ambassadors of the collective unconscious, a term coined by Carl Jung. The collective unconscious is a collection of symbols shared by all of humanity since the beginning of time. Jung said we inherit this vast energy system, which comes to our conscious mind in the form of pre-existing archetypes. Each astrological sign manifests in archetypes, such as Aries as the warrior archetype or Sagittarius as the teacher archetype. In Sun Signs & Past Lives I say that the twelve signs emanate from the collective unconscious to weave their way through our mental impulses. We have the freedom of choice in how we make use of the sign energies. It is my belief that the twelve signs can lead us back to our past life tendencies. In this lifetime we can convert past life negative patterns into winning creative life directions.
Meet the Twelve Signs
Welcome to a brief analysis of past life themes for each of the signs. If you want a more customized and personal in-depth past life reading based on your birth date, simply read Sun Signs & Past Lives. If you read something in this article that sounds a bit negative about your own Sun sign, try not to worry. Instead, look at this as learning material. Nobody is perfect! Think of the twelve signs as offering twelve unique tickets into past life awareness onto exciting pathways for new opportunities in this life.
What might Aries teach you about your past life tendencies? One key theme was balancing assertiveness. If you were too overpowering in past lives, then Aries is trying to guide you to still act with confidence but expand your consciousness in perceiving the impact of your actions. If you were too passive in past lives, this sign attempts to encourage greater directness in your actions. Another major past life theme regarded patience. Moving fast is in the DNA of this sign. Aries energy gets better results when you act boldly but not recklessly. The payoff in tuning into the past life patterns of Aries is that you get a lot more reward for your actions. You will find your creative intensity leads to success in the world that much faster. A sense of rebirth comes through having the courage to put your ideals into practice and in not losing sight of the needs of your closest friends and lovers.
What can Taurus teach you about your past life instincts? One main theme was fixed mental attitudes. If you were too set in your ways in past lives then Taurus is trying to lead you toward a more flexible value system. Why? Because it liberates you in this lifetime to find relationships and careers that are more rewarding. Your creative power increases through being open to new options. It is in the natural pulse of Taurus to stay loyal to what has worked in the past, but it may be time in the present to make changes to allow for a better future. A second key past life theme was connected to self-worth. Valuing yourself is clearly essential to happiness and defining your choices in such a way that they can bring fulfillment. A sense of rebirth comes through sharing what you have materially and emotionally while at the same time making use of regular reality-testing in knowing who you can trust with your resources.
What can Gemini teach you about your past life patterns? One theme was difficulty in staying focused on your goals. If you lacked follow-through in completing your plans in past lives, this sign can guide you to deepen your mental concentration. A second past life theme was often related to burnout. Why? This sign denotes a drive to resist resting. Learning ways to get recharged is essential to success. A sense of rebirth is achieved through a passion for new insights and being open to new learning material.
What can Cancer teach you about your past life tendencies? A key challenge in past incarnations was finding emotional stability; it could be that establishing trust did not come easily. If a similar behavior is occurring in this life, then Cancer is offering you the inner strength to break free from this pattern. Another past life theme might have been unclear dependency needs. This water giant is guiding you to find the clarity to balance closeness and distance in relationships. A sense of rebirth comes through trusting your instincts about your goals and developing self-honesty in what you need from others.
What can Leo teach you about your past life tendencies? One area is being aware of the impact of your actions. In past lives you could have been too demanding; sharing center stage makes people want to cooperate in this lifetime. Another theme might have been wanting to always be the leader; sharing the power brings balance into the current incarnation. A sense of rebirth comes through believing in your creative instincts and encouraging those you love to pursue their dreams.
What can Virgo teach you about your past life patterns? One major arena was trying to make something too perfect. Virgo is guiding you to realize there are no perfect people or things; it is okay for life to get a bit messy! Another possible past life theme you could be dealing with is indulging in too much negative thinking. Having greater faith in your ideas is a must. A sense of rebirth comes through trusting your intuitive right brain and exploring those skills that will bring fulfillment.
What can Libra teach you about past life challenges? One theme that probably followed you into this incarnation was indecision. Libra can guide you to realize in this lifetime that it is far less painful to make a choice than to sit on the fence for too long. A second past life area might have involved looking for too much of your identity in another person. In this life you are needing to establish balance in your partnerships; being a unique person sets you free. A sense of rebirth comes through creating clear boundaries in relationships and being realistic in expectations of others.
What can Scorpio teach you about your past life instincts? One major challenge in past lives was channeling emotions and anger productively. Scorpio is guiding you into a more harmonious expression of this dynamic energy. Scorpio can show you how to do some cosmic composting—this means that this sign wants you to take what wasn't working positively and plant new growth-promoting seeds. A second trend was possibly in getting trapped in power struggles. This sign can aid you in gaining clarity in avoiding difficult people who purposely try to confuse you. A sense of rebirth comes through communicating your needs openly and when you deal directly with adversity.
What can Sagittarius teach you about your past life issues? One theme is you could have been too risk-taking in past lives without considering the consequences. Sagittarius is attempting to guide you in this life to look before you leap! A second area was expecting life to bring you success without making enough effort. Sagittarius is coaxing you to pour that fire circulating in your heart and soul right into your goals to make them come true. A sense of rebirth comes through acknowledging your limits while at the same time honoring the promise of your highest ideals.
What can Capricorn teach you about your past life patterns? One theme in past lives could have been related to inflexibility. Difficulty in adapting to change made it a challenge to take advantage of new opportunities. In this life Capricorn can be guiding you to more readily adapt to new circumstances. Getting beyond comfort zones can release creative energy. Another possible past life theme was being too controlling, which caused power struggles with others. Capricorn can be showing you how to negotiate more openly to avoid unnecessary skirmishes. Trusting that it is a good thing to relinquish some control actually sets you free. A sense of rebirth comes through thinking positive and allowing yourself to play as hard as you work.
What can Aquarius teach you about your past life tendencies? One trend that could have surfaced in past incarnations was extreme aloofness. You distanced yourself emotionally to keep others from getting to know the real you. Aquarius in this lifetime is guiding you to see that the best of two worlds can be attained, where freedom and emotional closeness can co-exist in your relationships. Another theme was loss of individuality. You may have surrendered your freedom too easily in order to gain acceptance. In this incarnation Aquarius is leading you in a new direction to be true to your own goals. A sense of rebirth manifests through thinking outside of the box just enough to perceive those choices opening the doors to self-discovery.
What can Pisces teach you about your past life instincts? One past life theme was related to divine discontent. This means that your drive for perfection made it difficult to accept life's ups and downs; sometimes, your expectations of self and others may have been unreasonable. Pisces in this life is attempting to help you see that there are no perfect people, places, or things. You can continue to strive to do great things but must cultivate a sober view of the world. Another trend in past incarnations could have been believing in people that were better at taking than giving. Pisces in this lifetime is guiding you to seek more equality in your partnerships. You can find a soul mate with similar values or at least that has your best interest in mind. A sense of rebirth comes through making choices that keep your ideals enlivened and your spirit creative.

Critic Reviews

- By date
A smart, generous, genuinely funny affair. Sometimes, like the camel who almost ambles away with the picture, it's longish in the tooth, but it is based on an extremely astute vision of life. [15 May 1987]
The most underestimated commercial movie of 1987 may not be quite as good as Elaine May's three previous features, but it's still a very funny work by one of this country's greatest comic talents.
Ishtar is a good movie, but you can't help but wonder if, lurking somewhere in those cans of outtakes, there isn't a great movie, too. [15 May 1987]
Enter Charles Grodin, who upstages all involved via his savagely comical portrayal of a CIA agent.
Reasonably genial and diverting. [18 May 1987]
Ishtar is an unabashed vamp for a pair of household names, and as such it works, often hilariously.
Is it worth seeing? Yes. The ability to charm in the modern world is rare, and Ishtar does charm. Essentially, it's a teen film for adults, which is to say, it's mindless but not stupid good fun. And there are at least four times when the audience laughs out loud.
The worst of it is painless; the best is funny, sly, cheerful and, here and there, even genuinely inspired. [15 May 1987, p.C3]
It's worth seeing the movie just to observe [Grodin's] delicious blend of unctuous manipulation and anti-Communist sanctimoniousness. [15 May 1987]
For all the bad press Ishtar received, it does have a certain odd charm... The biggest problem is that any attempted subtlety is swamped by May's bid to turn the film into an epic adventure story.
Hoffman and Beatty are so tone-deaf they don't even know how to play the songs for deadpan humor. They seem old, white, and without shtick. [14 May 1987, p.26(E)]
The guys in Ishtar are the boring wallflowers of the world. They probably shouldn't be mocked, disgraced and beaten, but who really wants to spend close to two hours with them.
When Beatty and Hoffman doe their (deliberately hopeless) singing numbers, jerking like mechanical men, phrasing unmusically, going off-key, they don't have the slapstick skills for it. That's when you long for Martin and Murray, or some other comics. [1 June 1987, p.102]
It's piddling -- a hangdog little comedy with not enough laughs...its spirit rattles around inside it like a marble in an oil drum.
The funny scenes are as far apart as oases in the Sahara. [22 May 1987]
A truly dreadful film, a lifeless, massive, lumbering exercise in failed comedy. Elaine May, the director, has mounted a multimillion-dollar expedition in search of a plot so thin that it hardly could support a five-minute TV sketch.

EDMONTON - There's not much that seems to faze Alan Borovoy when it comes to his infallible belief in a person's right to free speech in Canada.
Groups that bash gays, women or religious organizations may be repugnant, but democracies must allow them to speak freely, insists Borovoy, the general counsel for the Canadian Civil Liberties Association who will give a speech in Edmonton on Wednesday.
But even for a 40-year veteran of the civil liberties movement, the ideals of free speech can occasionally clash with the realities of one's heart. For Borovoy, such a clash occurred when the CCLA defended Holocaust-denier Ernst Zundel's right not to be muzzled.
"I was bothered by the number of Holocaust survivors I knew who would be hurt by what I was saying," says Borovoy, 75.
"To know the things I was saying were so hurtful to people who had suffered so much already -- that bothered me."
But that's still no reason not to support Zundel's rights, he says, immediately afterwards.
As the longtime public voice of the CCLA, Borovoy speaks persuasively and passionately about contemporary attacks on civil liberties in Canada. He has written a handful of books on the topic and lectures widely across the country. And he is funny.
"Do you know why cold weather makes for political stability?" he quips. "Because it's too cold to demonstrate."
In the 1960s, Borovoy started working for the Jewish Labour Committee to fight racism against minority groups in Toronto. In the four decades since, critics of his work have shifted along with the country's political winds.
"At one time, I got it from the right because my stance might have been seen as helping the communists and Trotskyists," he says.
"If you live long enough, you have the opportunity to experience (criticism) every which way."
These days, he is likely to be eyed with suspicion by some members of the left who condemn his support for the rights of right-wing political commentators to express their views.
Borovoy has been particularly vocal in denouncing what he views as misuse of the country's human rights commissions.
He notes two Alberta cases that have attracted media attention -- that of Ezra Levant, who is appearing this month before the Alberta Human Rights and Citizenship Commission for publishing the Danish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, and that of Rev. Stephen Boissoin, who wrote to a Red Deer newspaper claiming that gays, among other things, are "just as immoral" as pedophiles, drug dealers and pimps.
Levant and Boissoin are accused of promoting hatred towards Muslims and gays, respectively.
Borovoy believes neither case belongs in front of a human rights commission. He speaks from a position of intimacy on the issue, since he helped establish the commissions in the 1960s to stop discrimination against minority groups in the employment and housing sectors.
"Nobody ever thought the commissions would have anything to do with expressions of opinion or the dissemination of news reports. That wasn't on the table," he says.
"I think it's awful that a law could be used to muzzle that kind of expression. That's the stuff of what democratic polemics are about."
In his 40 years at the helm of the country's civil liberties movement, Borovoy has seen other changes, too, in how the Canadian public perceives civil rights issues. During the FLQ crisis, the CCLA spoke out against the invocation of the War Measures Act, and Borovoy recalls a stream of angry phone calls slamming the organization's stance.
Fast-forward 31 years to government actions taken after 9/11, and reactions were very different, says Borovoy. Most calls to the CCLA supported their position against heavy-handed government intrusion on Canadians' liberties.
"I can only speculate, but I suspect that it's probably increased urbanization, increased immigration and communities that have become more heterogeneous (that) has brought with it a greater willingness to question government," he says.
"And yes, it is positive. It's important in a democracy."

A torched body with a gunshot wound was found on a private road behind a Budget rental facility located at 2807 Fowler Street in Fort Myers, Florida. Warehouse workers found the charred remains on Thursday morning. Family members have identified the body as 31-year-old Yaz'min Shancez, although initial police reports referred to the victim by her birth name.
Police have opened a homicide investigation and are looking at surveillance cameras surrounding the crime scene. They have not determined a cause of death and are not currently investigating the homicide as a hate crime.
Approximately 150 people gathered for a vigil, Sunday, at Centennial Park to celebrate and mourn the victim. Diverse community members waving rainbow flags and carrying signs attended the tear-filled event.
The Center of SWFL released the following statement on their facebook page:
"The Center of SWFL condemns this act of hate committed on one of our LGBT citizens. Our community reaction will not be one of hate, judgment and evil. We will rise together with the strength of love and as it has so many times before, LOVE WILL WIN. As Maya Angelou said when she received her award for advocacy from PFLAG- "This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine." Let your light shine to chase away the darkness that has befallen on this city and let this world know that we will not tolerate violence against our brothers and sisters."
A Yaz'min Shancez fundraiser page has been created by the Center of SWFL and people can donate here.
Since this is still an ongoing investigation, anyone with information is asked to call the Fort Myers Police Department at 239-321-7700, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS or text message C-R-I-M-E-S (274637) Keyword FMPD.

Reviews for Fluffy Lemon Pie
"I made this over the weekend and just changed it slightly to add more of the lemon drink mix (3 teaspoons) since my family likes their lemon desserts tangy. It was a hit and will be a keeper."
"This pie couldn't be easier! I made it with lemon Crystal Light (adding a little more than the recipe called for based on other reviews). Delicious, light...a great summer time pie! I look forward to trying it with other Crystal Light flavors as well."
"good good pie"

I could write about the latest opinion polls, but frankly, I've never really liked the horse-race aspect of election coverage. Polls have been used to justify excluding (and even more rarely, including) candidates in debates, which I think is a poor criteria (but that's another column).

It's a great idea - you get to meet interesting people while running :) Now I'm sitting at the Eclipse plug-in tutorial - it's quite amazing how similar is the process of developing plug-ins for Eclipse and NetBeans. Anyway here are pictures from the morning run. I will try to join tomorrow morning again.
The pictures are not mine, I got them from Darin Swanson's blog:

...and if there was an act of violence at the event, the same people would be blaming the police for not having enough manpower during the event.
I don't think we will see the insurance industry shrinking anytime soon.
The progression of the self driving cars is definitely going to be interesting.
Of course Russian officials do not want to investigate.

Helping GIs shift gears
Driving habits learned in war zones often conflict with good driving practices back home. The U is helping returning GIs shift gears.
November 8, 2013
Members of our armed forces serving in war zones take tremendous risks, even when just driving down a street.
Because of threats from IEDs, snipers, or insurgents waiting to attack, service men and women develop driving habits like running stop signs and swerving wide for any irregularity in the road.
But back home, driving habits that may have saved their lives can put them, and the lives and safety of others, at risk. To help service members returning from deployment readjust, University of Minnesota researcher Erica Stern studies the driving behaviors that many soldiers bring home and suggests ways to help them change those habits.
"For example, when they are deployed, any irregularity in the road could hide an IED, so soldiers swerve 10 feet [to avoid them]," says Stern, an associate professor in the U's Program in Occupational Therapy, Allied Health Programs. "So returning soldiers tend not to straddle a pothole as we do. Instead, they might change lanes or go onto the shoulder. It's a high-anxiety situation for them.
"These driving behaviors are adaptive in war zones. They are a logical response to a stressful environment."
Stern spent several years as a faculty fellow in the Rehabilitation and Reintegration Division of the Office of The Surgeon General of the Army. At the same time, she, along with two graduate students, surveyed the driving behaviors of 150 regional National Guard members who had returned from overseas deployments and 49 never deployed military (mostly ROTC students at the U).
Then, based on the survey results, one group of her advisees researched ideas for interventions and another used these ideas to draft self-help brochures, one for service members (pdf) with driving issues and another for their families (pdf).
Same planet, different worlds
The survey shed plenty of light on the origins of driving issues. For example, soldiers developed behaviors regardless of whether they were usually a driver or a passenger while deployed.
"Everybody in a military vehicle has a responsibility for surveillance, watching for an IED or an insurgent attack," Stern explains. "So driver and passengers both come back with behaviors."
Soldiers can come back with quite different issues, says Stern. For example, those whose convoy would barely creep along to avoid being surprised by IEDs may, when driving U.S. roads, become anxious about driving fast because "they can't watch the environment carefully enough." Likewise, a soldier who had to jackrabbit between points A and B in Iraq may become anxious about slow driving back home and be more likely to speed on residential streets.
A common source of stress showed up in comments like "my wife/girlfriend doesn't understand this."
"People, even family, may misinterpret the driving behavior," says Stern. "And service members may not always be clear with their family [about the cause of their driving behavior]. The service member may not even think of it as a problem, because it wasn't a problem during deployment. So they might, for example, think that taking a 'slow and go' approach when gliding through a stop sign is okay at home as long as they don't get a ticket."
And often, they don't get tickets. For example, Stern notes, "we found that 10 percent of our sample of returnees had had a warning for a moving violation in the last 30 days."
In following the progress of returnees across three months, the researchers found that driving behaviors gradually lessened and largely disappeared during that time, although anecdotes indicated that some specific behaviors may persist for 12 months or more. As for driving anxiety, it persisted at a higher level for returnees than for the nondeployed even after 90 days.
Also, the USAA insurance and investment company, which specializes in service members and veterans, reported (pdf) that service members have higher rates of self-reported at-fault crashes during the six months following deployment than during the six months preceding deployment.
Ongoing research—and help
Since completing the regional study, Stern and co-principal investigator Todd Rockwood, an associate professor and expert in survey development and analysis in the School of Public Health's Division of Health Policy and Management, have been carrying out a national survey funded by the Department of Defense. They are comparing the driving behaviors of soldiers who returned from deployment injury-free and soldiers who returned with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) to a control group that has never been deployed. The data are still coming in.
"Our goal is to offer suggestions for treatment," says Stern. "We have already prepared the skeleton of a brochure for those with TBI."
Meanwhile, "if service members' problems are significant enough to cause distress, they may want to seek a referral to an occupational therapist for driving. An OT should be able to work on these issues."

However, since my source cells for the Data Validation is on a different worksheet, I get this error message when I try use the above formula:
"You cannot use references to other worksheets or workbooks for Data Validation criteria."
To double check if that was the only problem, I entered the same formula but referenced cells on the same sheet:
And it works perfectly.
What's interesting though, is that if I don't use the IF function at all, I can reference cells in different worksheets just fine.
So I suppose I have two questions:
1. Why is it I can't use sources from another Worksheet for Data Validation if I'm also incorporating an IF statement, but I can without it?
2. Is there another method for me to achieve my goal? Basically I want different choices to be made available in the dropdown box depending on what the value is in a different cell.
I'm using Excel 2007.
Thank you!

Native New Yorker Robert Mladinich has captured the March 2005 CJ Award, emblematic of outstanding achievement in boxing journalism, for his profile of former light heavyweight contender "Irish" Bobby Cassidy, it was announced today.
If you find it a bit unusual that a writer for TheSweetScience.com (http://www.thesweetscience.com) would win a CJ Award for a story about someone else who writes for TheSweetScience.com, you'd be right.
But according to Charles Jay, Editor-in-Chief of The Sweet Science, it was fully warranted.
"Bob's piece was extremely well-written, and unlike a lot of features you might find in newspapers or magazines, it wasn't written from a patronizing or sympathetic perspective," said Jay. "He was able to present his subject, warts and all, and in the process he gave us a unique insight into an intriguing character who's had a lot of colorful life experiences."
In the story, entitled "Irish Bobby Cassidy: Fighter, Trainer, Father, Mensch," Cassidy, who also contributes fight analysis to TheSweetScience.com, recounted a past that included loansharking, bookmaking, an abusive childhood and 15-round bouts with the bottle. "I gave up drinking, but embraced racketeering," he told Mladinich. "I have an addictive personality, so everything I made I was gambling away. I always had money coming in. Who's not going to pay Irish Bobby Cassidy? But I was a good-hearted shylock. I'd give a guy a miss (allow a skipped payment) at Christmas time. Nobody does that."
Mladinich is a former pro boxer and NYPD detective who has penned freelance articles for a number of publications and is author of a book, "From the Mouth of the Monster: The Joel Rifkin Story," which chronicled the exploits of one of New York's most notorious serial killers. He couldn't have been more pleased with this latest recognition. "I'm honored to win this prestigious award," he said. "Making it all the more meaningful is the fact that my colleagues at The Sweet Science are such an esteemed grouping of literary talent."
There was a tie among three runners-up for this month's "CJ." The stories included David Mayo's piece "The Wait Is Over/Floyd Mayweather Is Ready," about the signing of the widely-anticipated Floyd Mayweather-Arturo Gatti fight; George Kimball's "Memo to Don King: Welcome Back to Worcester," which spun interesting anecdotes about the history of boxing in the Massachusetts city which recently hosted the Braithwaite-Mormeck cruiserweight title bout; and Joey Knish's "Winter Sturm Advisory," which explored the position of WBO 160-pound champion Felix Sturm in the world middleweight picture.
Jay saluted the reporting skills of Mayo, who also writes for the Grand Rapids (Mich.) Press. "David took the ball and ran with it from the moment the fight was signed," he said. "Not only did he have the full story up in a couple of hours, he was also the first to talk to Mayweather. The result was a complete, coherent piece, which also served to dispel much of the misinformation that had been spread about Mayweather's legal situation by other members of the media."
The CJ Award is a monthly honor named for Jay, an acclaimed boxing scribe whose "Operation Cleanup" books are regarded as the most hard-hitting look at boxing from the inside. It is the only award for boxing writers that is accompanied by money - the winner of each month's prize receives $300, with the runners-up receiving $100 apiece.
Though all pieces must be an exclusive submission to The Sweet Science to be eligible for the award, it is not a prerequisite that a writer be a regular contributor to the site. "We welcome quality work from anyone, anywhere in the world," Jay says. "We're looking for material that is out of the ordinary; that which takes a cutting-edge approach, or reflects an originality in thought or opinion. When we started, our objective was to be the finest boxing publication on the planet earth, period. We've made the commitment, and in fact I think we're already there. We want to recognize stories that are indicative of that commitment."
CJ Award winners are determined by the editorial board of The Sweet Science, a group of people involved with the sport that, aside from Jay, includes editor Robert Ecksel, web editor Chris Gielty, and Dino daVinci, founder of the International Brotherhood of Prizefighters (IBOP). Editorial board members and officers of TheSweetScience.com or IBOP are ineligible to win the CJ Award.
The Sweet Science sets the gold standard for boxing journalism. Updated on a daily basis, it includes hundreds of features, interviews, columns, predictions, odds, angles and more. Anyone interested in boxing will find a treasure trove at The Sweet Science, located at http://www.thesweetscience.com.

The drought in California is likely to mean higher grocery prices this summer. This is because California produces the great preponderance of food crops for the United States: 90% of the nation's broccoli, 99% of our walnuts, 95% of the celery, 95% of the garlic, and 69% of the carrots we eat.
The lack of water in California's Central Valley, where many of these crops are grown, has meant that farmers are trying to save their orchards (which produce almonds and plums as well as oranges and lemons), so they are diverting what water they have to the trees, and letting the parched land lie fallow.
Even with the rains last week, there still isn't enough water for crops. And meteorologists note that core samples and tree rings indicate that droughts like this year's could go on for decades, even for a century or more. Indeed, their research indicates that such droughts are the norm, and that the twentieth century may have been unusually wet.
Although the U.S. gets much of its produce from South America during the winter, their winter corresponds to our summer, so there are likely to be fewer imports during the summer months. This, together with the California drought and unusually cold weather in the southern states this winter, is likely to result in an increase in prices at the grocery store.
There isn't a lot most urban dwellers can do other than to put in a garden. Balconies and patios-- even windowsills-- can be put into use for this purpose if you don't have a yard. Budget conscious consumers should be thinking about starting seeds now, in the early spring, in order to grow some of their own food this summer.

A colourful book all about a T-Rex who gets surprised by a red ball. He soon realizes that for him to cuddle it he needs the help of his blue gorilla friend because his arms are too small ! Co-operation is the moral which leads to a happy ending.
I have been an artist ever since I could hold a pencil ! Before becoming an avid Blurber I have tried my hand at storyboard art, comic art and illustration in London, England as well as being a video game concept artist in Vancouver, Canada. While I still do work in all these fields I felt that I needed to get a little of me out there and that's why I decided to write and illustrate my 1st two childrens books. One about a pirate and the other about a Roman soldier. Along with these I wanted to get my other work, pen, digital and full on big canvases into coffee table style books for all the World to see ! Well, even if the World doesn't wanna buy them, thanx to Blurb my Christmas gift getting situation is now waaaay easier ! Thanx Blurb. I just give everyone a slice 'a' me !
