Chapter Two
When Loki awoke the next morning, the first thing he saw were two guards inside his room, waiting to drag him away. Loki moaned and got up, feeling tired a dizzy from the terrible night sleep he had. As soon as he stood, the guards bounded his hand and put the muzzle back on him. Loki didn't complain; he simple walked as they lead him out of the room.
He was guided through the halls of the castle and out to the stables. Thor and Odin were already there; ready to mount they're horses when Loki was lead inside. He kept his head down, focusing on the stable floor. He could feel Thor and Odin watching him, they're gaze burning a hole in the back of his neck. The guards lead him to a horse that was already saddled and ready to ride. It had no halter, but a simple lead rope. He guessed one of the guards would be leading the horse alone, so he wouldn't try and escape.
Loki struggled to mount the horse, since his hands were bond, but he managed to all the same. The guards had horses as well, one place on either side of him. The one to his right was holding the lead rope, keeping a firm grip on it. Thor turned in his saddle to see Loki, then turned back and nodded to Odin. And with that, they were off.
Loki felt very awkward, not holding on to anything but the saddle horn. He kept his head down, not wanting to look around. The horses speed went from trots, to gallops. Loki gripped the saddle horn as if for dear life, feeling fear rise inside him. He wondered if it was Thor or Odin's idea for him to have no reigns.
After what felt like thirty minutes, the horses began to slow. Loki looked up, seeing they were on the edge of Asgard. Hedges were everywhere, making it difficult to remover through. But there seemed to be a path cut into them, but it was slightly overgrown, making it difficult to see. The path was rocky, and was slopping downhill. Everyone fell into single order, Odin in front, a guard heading up the rear. After a while, the path branched out into an open field. Loki looked around, taking in the surroundings.
A gloomy wood circled half the field to the right, the other half was surrounded by a rocky mountain cliff. Half hidden in the woods was the face of a small house. That where they were headed, straight up to the house. As they came closer, Loki studied it. It was older, moss growing in splotches here and there, and it was made of stone. A chimney rose on one side, smoke gently puffing from it. The windows were gloomy and look in need of a good cleaning.
Inside one of the window, Loki saw a small figure. Someone was watching them. Then in a blink of an eye, the figure disappeared, as if the person that had been watching them had become too scared and ran away. Loki frowned. Had that been the little girl he was to take care of?
The horse under him came to a stop, snapping Loki back to reality. The guards dismounted and helped Loki do so as well. Once his feet were firmly planted on the ground, one guard approached the house, going to the door, while the other lead Loki to where Odin and Thor stood.
"Remove the muzzle," Odin commanded the guard, and he instantly did as he was told. When the guard removed the muzzle, Loki moved his jaw back in fourth, adjusting it.
"I want you to know," Odin said to Loki in a low voice, "That the girl doesn't know she is a Frost Giant."
"Oh, so you lied to her like you did to me?" Loki shot at him.
Odin didn't reply. Loki felt angry rising in him and he felt the urge to slap Odin, to yell in his face. He felt the urge to use his magic to simple disappear and never come back. He could, he could just disappear. Odin may be able to chain him down and punish him, but he could never strip him of his magic abilities.
"I think it's best you also know you cannot use your powers in here," Odin said. Loki froze.
"There is a magic wall inclosing the field to a certain point. As long as you are inside, you cannot use your powers to escape. You may use them for other such things inside the wall, but they will never be able to penetrate the wall." Loki felt enraged. The old god was smarter then he suspected.
At that moment, the door to the house opened. Standing there was a young woman. He had an apron over her gown and a dish towel in her hands. She listened to the guard, nodding as he spoke. At one point, she looked up and looked Loki right in the eye. Even from so far away, Loki saw the fear in her eyes. It was the same look all the Midguardin's had when he had come to rule them. He loved it.
Odin walked forward, approaching the house. The guard gave Loki a push, making him stumble. Loki shot the guard a look, but kept walking, following Odin.
"All-Father," the women said, dropping her head. "It is good to see you again."
"Same to you, Alvdis," Odin replied.
"Won't you come in?"
Odin smiled, replying with, "That would be very pleasant, thank you." Odin motioned for Loki to follow, and the mischievous god had no other option but to follow. Alvdis moved inside, holding the door open, keeping her head down. As Loki walked by, she looked up slightly. Loki's cold green eyes glared back at her, making her jump. Loki smirked; loving the feel of power fear gave him.
Once inside, Alvdis shut the door and lead them to a small sitting room. The room had a large stone fireplace, flames flickering inside of it. There were two chairs, and then what looked like a lounging chair was placed next to the fireplace. Loki and Odin sat in one of the chairs and Alvdis perched herself on the lounging chair.
"Alvdis, this is Loki, my son," Odin said. Loki rolled his eyes at the last part, but didn't comment. "He is the one that will be taking care of Oda."
Alvdis nodded, keeping her eyes locked on Odin. Loki could tell she was desperately trying not to look at him.
"Before you leave, Alvdis, I would like you to stay a day longer to show Loki what's what around here; is that alright with you?" Odin asked.
Alvdis nodded again. "Yes, my Lord."
Odin was about to reply, but the sound of footsteps stopped him. Loki twisted in his chair and saw at the end of the room a set of stairs, going up to the next level. A pair of feet appeared, then a pair of legs, a waist, shoulder, and then finally an entire body. A little girl was there, dressed in a cream colored dress that pooled around her ankles. She had flowing raven black hair that framed her small body. The girl came waltzing into the room where the three sat, not seeming to notice them. She looked up, and froze.
"Alvdis?" the girl said quietly, "What's going on?"
"Oda," Alvdis said, "Go back up to your room."
The girl broke her gaze on Odin and Loki, looking up at Alvdis. The light from the flames lit up her face and Loki looked her up and down, taking in her facial features. She had chocolate brown eyes, a small nose, and large lips. The emotion in her eyes was disappointment.
" She said quietly, "I wanted to go outside."
Alvdis shook her head. "Not know, Oda. Just please, go back up to your room."
"Yes Alvdis," She said quietly, hanging her head and walking back toward the staircase. Loki's eyes followed her, watching her every move. As she started back up the stairs, she stopped and looked back over the sitting room. Her eyes met Loki and fear instantly replaced her disappointment. She then quickly ran back up the stairs, and the next thing Loki heard was a door shutting.
Loki turned back to face Alvdis. "That was her?"
Alvdis looked at Loki and nodded quickly. "That was Oda," She said.
"And how old is she?"
"She's four and a half."
Loki nodded, thinking. Oda. What a peculiar name. If his memory served him right, it meant elfin spear. He's also noticed she had dark hair. Most Asgardians had golden hair. Well, she was a Frost Giant, just like him.
Just like him.
Right then, Odin stood. He thanked Alvdis and she stood and led him to the door. Loki followed, not knowing what else to do. The three stepped outside and the guards and Thor looked up. Odin thanked Alvdis once more, but before he left, he turned to Loki.
He let out a breath. "Good-bye," He said. Loki didn't say anything, just looked back at him. Then Odin turned and walked back to the guards and Thor. Thor mounted his horse, and then looked back to Loki. He gave him a nod and Loki nodded back. Like always, the big brother was telling him to be safe.
Just like he always did.

WWE has announced Brodus Clay & Tensai vs. The Rhodes Scholars for the Elimination Chamber Pre Show that will be streamed live on YouTube.
We'll carry the footage live on Sunday night at 8 PM EST here at WrestlingNewsWorld.com.
Wrestling news, rumors, spoilers and results. We are a leading resource for WWE, TNA and everything related to pro wrestling.
By Richard Gray
WHY???? Thats lame why not Barrett vs Dallas
Hopefully it will be added along with the u.s. Title match with miz and cesaro since we have 1 chamber match, plus what if a big swerve happens like after rock beats punk, heyman gets on the mic and say he arrange a deal with vickie to make rock defend the title again, and his opponent is revealed to be brock lesnar. Brock beats a tired rock and become wwe champion. This will set up a triple threat match at mania. Explain why all 3 men is on the wm poster.
Wow, that wouldn't make Brock look weak at all, needs to come in and beat on an already tired Rock?
Not saying it will make him look weak but it would be a huge twist to wrestlemania. Just imagine the build up. 3 of the biggest stars compete for the wwe title.
So what happened to them going their seperate ways? Seems like someone isn't ready to give it up since they're teaming together again at live shows and now for the pre-show.
WWE can ever make a desicion and stick with it. They break Rhodes Scholars up and than put them back together in live events… now in the PPV Pre-Show! Must be a kick in the junk to Sandow. He thought they were splitting them up so he could get a upper card push and instead he's back with Rhodes doing YouTube pre-shows.
So who is turning Tensai or Brodus Clay? I'm assuming Brodus Clay?

Green, Sleek and Down-to-Earth Lake House Remodel
From Dean Dowd on October 11, 2010 in Green Remodeling
On a wooded property 25 miles north of Seattle, in Lake Forest, Washington, this rugged, chic and completely renovated 1950's home makes the average lake house pale in comparison.
Want this look for your own home? We can match you with a highly skilled contractor in your area—click here to get free estimates.
In keeping with the original simplicity of the home, new and innovative materials were layered atop the old to create a strong contrast of texture and color. Smooth surfaces meet up with deliberately rougher ones to create a unique juxtaposition.
For instance, the original hemlock ceiling with exposed fir beams shown here was retained while existing terrazzo flooring was refinished in a sleek contemporary color.
Consistent with other works by Finne Architects, this house exhibits the concept of "crafted modernism," which seeks to offer modernist aesthetics with personal crafted materials and objects. The glass walls, laser-cut steel shade valences, and the cast-glass kitchen counter are some examples of the individual attention paid to each Finne remodel.
The concept of sustainability was vital to this home's renovation. Radiant heating under the flooring creates a heat source with maximum energy efficiency.
High clerestory windows bring natural light in, and throughout the house green materials were used.
Finne Architects shows how good green design isn't just accumulating green materials for the sake of sustainability alone, but is instead a way to build a personal, intimate home that will last for years and years.

How many of you women would be willing to kiss a man and wake them up from a burly slumber, sweep them off their feet, strap them to the back of your white horse and take them off to a life of love and happiness in a foreign land?
Oh, it's supposed to be the other way around? Right, thanks Disney.
I feel like many of us fail so miserably at relationships today because when it all comes down to it, we have entirely unrealistic expectations about love. As a child, we see perfect happiness strung together by a beautiful young girl who sells her voice to the "devil" for a set of legs so she can become human and fall in love with Prince Eric, the love of her life. We see a girl who is victimized and has a spell cast on her by an evil jealous queen, but is rescued by Prince Charming and taken away on a white horse. Somehow a bunch of dwarves fit into that equation as well. We see a princess who's father is keeping her trapped in the palace to marry a King, until she's swept away by a peasant and taken to "a whole new world."
See what I'm saying? I mean, of course these stories give us hope and let us know that the right man or woman is out there for us, but do you think maybe they skew our view just a liiiiiiittle? In Disney, Prince Charming is never hairy, balding or overweight, he doesn't drive a beat up pick up truck, he doesn't leave his dirty socks on the bathroom floor, he doesn't pee in the shower, and he doesn't leave skid marks in his underwear.
Unless all that happens in the sequel..... they never do show us what happens once they're living happily ever after do they?
Same goes with the Princess, though. She doesn't appear to be horrible at the dishes, she always has her hair and makeup done just so, her legs are probably always shaved, she would never spend the day sitting on her couch in flannel PJ pants and her brother's old t shirt (no I am not doing this right now what are you talking about?) she wouldn't forget to flush the toilet, and she'd never sass a man who asked her to bring him a sandwich.
See? They live in perfect harmony. We do not. And in many cases, we're not happy with it. We're all "this isn't what I signed up for, this isn't what I visioned as a little kid, when I was a young girl fantasizing about my wedding he had a lot more hair and didn't fart so much." It's called the real world, and when did it become so.... real?
Now I just want to watch The Little Mermaid. Prince Eric was always my #1 prince, maybe because he has a thing for redheads, or just because he's a total hottie.
Do you think Disney gave you false hope now that you're grown up? Or did you always just think of it as entertainment? Who do you think was the hottest Disney Prince/Princess? Really, that is the most important question.

New SPECjbb2005 World Record - Java SE and UltraSPARC IV+
By dagastine on Nov 30, 2005
Sun has again achieved a new world record on SPECjbb2005, beating IBM's latest result by 1.5%. Take a look at the press release. This result is using the newly released J2SE 5.0._06. IBM's score: 244,361 bops, 30,545 bops/JVM Sun's score: 248,075 bops, 31,009 bops/JVM Both the IBM and Sun results are 4 instance SPECjbb2005 runs. Each result has 32 "Processors" available to Java, as determined by the Java API java.lang.Runtime.availableProcessors(). The systems are equivalent from the view of Java, each has 32 hardware threads or "virtual" CPUs. How the 32 threads are implemented on each system is different, for example take a look at the Sun Fire 6900 details. I like that IBM is actively submitting SPECjbb2005 results. Competition spurs innovation, which is a great thing for everyone, especially customers with enterprise Java server applications. It would be great to see other large system vendors step up and compete on SPECjbb2005. HP? Fujitsu? Try running with Sun J2SE 5.0_06, its rather easy. Fine print SPEC disclosure: SPECjbb2005 Sun Fire E6900 (16-way, 16 chips, 32 cores) 248,075 bops, 31,009 bops/JVM submitted for review, IBM eServer p5 570 (8 chips, 16 cores, 16-way) 244,361 bops, 30,545 bops/JVM . SPEC, SPECjbb reg tm of Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation. Results as of 11/30/05 on www.spec.org unless otherwise noted.

Logano Conquers Bristol Coliseum
BRISTOL, Tenn. – Joey Logano held off his Team Penske cohort Brad Keselowski in the final laps of Saturday's Irwin Tools Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway to score his third NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory of the season.
The key moment of the race came on lap 431 when what turned out to be the final caution flag of the day waved for debris. At the time of the caution Jamie McMurray was the race leader, a position he had held for most of the second half of the race.
During the caution period most of the leaders came down pit road, but second-place Matt Kenseth opted not to pit and inherited the lead. McMurray was the first car off pit road of those that pitted, with Logano right behind him. McMurray would restart fifth in the dreaded low line with Logano restarting sixth on the high side.
The green flag waved on lap 438 and Kenseth quickly jumped into the lead as the fight was on behind him between Logano and McMurray. Logano used the high side to his advantage and quickly began taking positions, moving up to second with 59 laps left in the 500-lap contest.
Six laps later Logano tracked down Kenseth and began pressuring him for the race lead. As Logano was looking for a way around Kenseth, Keselowski suddenly arrived on the scene and began challenging Logano for second.
Logano was finally able to make his move with 45 laps left, driving by Kenseth to take the race lead. Logano immediately began putting a gap between himself and Kenseth, who fell in to the clutches of Keselowski.
With 31 laps left Keselowski drove by Kenseth to take second as Logano continued to lead. Keselowski didn't make up much ground initially once he got around Kenseth, but soon Logano ran into heavy lapped traffic and that allowed Keselowski to close in on his teammate.
With 15 laps left Logano found himself behind Jeff Gordon, who was the last driver on the lead lap. Logano was unable to easily pass Gordon like he had most other cars, allowing Keselowski to really close up on him.
For the next 10 laps Logano struggled to find a way around Gordon as Keselowski lingered, waiting for a chance to strike. Finally with three laps left Gordon gave way to Logano as Keselowski continued looking his chase.
Keselowski tried one last time in turns three and four on the final lap to get alongside Logano, driving deep into turn three, but he couldn't get there. Logano got to the finish line first, besting Keselowski by just .391 of a second to earn his first Bristol victory.

TORONTO, Cananda - Dylan Yeo scored the shootout winner as the Toronto Marlies beat the St. John's IceCaps 4-3 in the AHL regular-season finale for both clubs.
Ryan Lasch had two goals and Tyler Biggs also scored in regulation for the Marlies (43-23-10), who finished atop the North Division and will finish second in Western Conference.
Josh Lunden scored twice on the power play for St. John's (32-36-8) while Ben Maxwell also had one. The IceCaps will finish last in the Atlantic Division.
Biggs got his first professional goal 8:50 into the first period when he picked up a rebound on a Will Acton shot and fired in a open net with Mark Dekanich out of position from the initial save.
Lunden got his first power-play goal of the night at 13:29 when Josh Leivo was in the box for a boarding penalty.
Toronto re-took the lead at 6:47 of the second when Simon Gysbers' had his shot from the left point deflected by Lasch.
Lunden tied it again at 15:40 of the second as Zach Redmond took a low shot from the left point and Lunden deflected it past goalie Garret Sparks.
The IceCaps took their first lead of the night just over three minutes later when Lunden led an odd-man rush into the Marlies zone. From the right side Lunden dished to centre Maxime Macenauer who then passed it over to Maxwell for the quick high shot that beat Sparks.
The Marlies forced overtime by capitalizing on a power play at 13:31. An attempted IceCaps clearance was deflected by Jerry D'Amigo towards the front of the goal where Lasch snapped it in.
Sparks made 20 saves for Toronto while Dekanich made 25 for St. John's.

Reviews for Smoked Kielbasa with Rice
"I made this for my husband and I this week and it was absolutely amazing!!! I served it over white rice and had a side of asparagus. I fried my bacon first and set it aside, then fried the onions and sausage (I used turkey sausage. You couldn't tell the difference) in the bacon drippings until they were caramelized. I then added the sauce and seasonings and reduced it down as directed. Once it was reduced I crumbled up the bacon and added it just before serving (so it would still be crunchy). It was very easy and I had most of the ingredients in my fridge or pantry. I'm probably going to make it next week too!"
"I have made this several times, I cut the brown sugar in half and it is plenty sweet. Tonight I doubled the sauce, still halved the brown sugar and made it with chicken wings.. it was the best chicken we've ever hadI!! I will make it this way from now on."
"Followed the recipe here step by step, didn't omit or add anything, and it was rather tasty ! We will try other variations I the future, but at first try I give it five stats."
"Very good flavor, just the right amount of "kick"."
"My kids love this! We don't really care for the horseradish though. It is still very good without it!"

Let $C$ be an abelian category, with a projective separator $k$. Assume that $C$ has a duality, that's a functor $\ast:C\to C^{\text{op}}$ together with a natural isomorphism $\tau:1\to \ast\ast$ such that $\tau_V^\ast=\tau_{V^\ast}^{-1}$ for each object $V$.
Let $q:V\to V^{*}$ be a morphism; $q$ can be interpreted as a bilinear form on $V$. To say that $q=q^{\ast}\circ \tau_V$ means that $q$ is symmetric.
Question: is true that each $q:k\to k^\ast$ is symmetric?
Remark: The answer to the question is yes in $R$-(left) modules category with $R$ a field (pheraps also if $R$ is commutative unitary ring) with $V^\ast=\text{Hom}(V,R)$. If $R$ is not commutative, then $V^\ast=\text{Hom}(V,R)$ is not a $R$-(left) module, hence $V\mapsto V^\ast$ doesn't define a duality in the sense of previous definition.

STANFORD, Calif. - The 19th-ranked Stanford softball team defeated Santa Clara, 12-1 in five innings, Tuesday, at Smith Family Stadium. The Cardinal improves to 33-16 overall, while the Broncos drop to 11-43.
Junior pitcher Teagan Gerhart earned the win, moving to 28-10 overall. She finished with three strikeouts while allowing just one run on six hits. Santa Clara's Carissa Theis took the loss, falling to 5-11 overall.
Stanford freshman Cassandra Roulund led the team offensively, going 3-for-3 with two doubles and a home run for a season-high five RBI. Senior catcher Maya Burns was 2-for-3 with four RBI for the Cardinal.
Stanford came out fired up, scoring six runs in the bottom of the first inning. With the bases loaded, junior Jenna Rich hit an infield single to score Hanna Winter. A single up the middle by Burns brought home Leah White and Ashley Hansen. Roulund then doubled to left center, scoring Rich and Burns.
Roulund registered her second double of the game with two outs in the bottom of the second. She scored on a single up the middle by senior Jenna Becerra.
The Broncos avoided the shutout in the third inning as left fielder Briana Knight ripped a double to right centerfield, scoring Jamie Wallis from first.
The Cardinal scored five more runs in the bottom of the third, all with two outs. With the bases loaded, Burns singled to left field, scoring Corey Hanewich and White. Roulund then hit a three-run shot to right field to clear the bases. It marked the second homer of the season for the freshman.
Stanford will wrap-up the home portion of its schedule this weekend, playing host to No. 14 Washington May 4-6. The Cardinal and Huskies will square off on Friday at 7 p.m., Saturday at 1 p.m. and Sunday at Noon at Smith Family Stadium. Sunday's game is Senior Day and the Cardinal will honor its three seniors prior to the game.

Barony of Flaming Gryphon members to wear subdued livery!
Pennsic XLI is going to be different from any Pennsic before it.
For the first time, the traditional opponents, the East Kingdom and the Middle Kingdom, will be fighting as allies, against Aethelmearc, in whose lands Pennsic lies, and Atlantia.
Lady Fiadnata ó Gleann Àlainn describes this new feature for artisans and students at Pennsic War this year. The theme is:
A place to craft… A place to learn… A place to share…
Thanks to a monumental effort on the part of Her Royal Majesty of Aethelmearc, Tessa, and a team of Shadowclans members, the Pennsic Children's Water Battle will take place!
The economy and illness are attempting to take the Children's Water Battle off the Pennsic schedule. Merriment is a hard thing to kill, though. Thanks to the efforts of Her Majesty of Aethelmearc, Tessa, the Pennsic Fort may still run wet with water this year.
Mistress Catherine Aimee Le Moyne, Pennsic University Chancellor, reports this sad news from the Shadow Clans. Shadow Clans is the household that originated and has sponsored the Pennsic Children's Water Battle for many years. (See related story at http://pennsicindependent.com/WaterBattle)
PI has decided to shift production dates as a result of changes in the Pennsic Marketplace dates. The Pennsic Marketplace dates have changed for Pennsic 39 (watch for an article on this news soon!). The new Marketplace dates are from Monday, August 2 until Friday, August 13.
The owner of an obscure chain of medieval recreation hobbyist publications has purchased all the assets of media giant Gannett Inc. in an unsolicited, hostile takeover bid that included cash, letters of credit from half a dozen "kingdoms" in which she publishes, and an unspecified quantity of "chocolate Chaucers," apparently some kind of alcoholic beverage.
If you are a Pennsic Independent PDF subscriber, please be aware that the Pennsic 38 subscriptions ended on July 1, 2010.

What could be better eats than a perfectly cooked chicken wing? It's a party pleaser!
Whether you like your wings glazed with sticky sauce or crispy-crunchy with baked-on dry spices, the foolproof technique to cook the wings is the same. Use a rack, an essential kitchen tool.
Like pictures? Be sure to check out the slides attached for the visual recipe for the perfect tailgate wings.
Foolproof Oven Baked Chicken Wings
Serves 2 as a main dish or more for hors d'oeuvres
Game day Tip: Can be made ahead and reheated uncovered, in a warm oven or the cool side of your grill
· 1 lb. chicken wings, separated at joints, tips discarded
· 1 tbs. kosher salt
· 1 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1. Wash and thoroughly dry your separated chicken wings and place in large bowl. Toss with salt and pepper to coat evenly.
2. Place a kitchen rack over a sheet pan lined with foil, adding your wings down in a single layer.
3. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
4. Preheat your oven to 425'.
5. Remove tray of wings from your refrigerator and roast for 40 minutes, turning once after 20 minutes.
For plain seasoned wings:
· Bake for 4 more minutes, turning once more halfway through the cooking process or until your wings are brown and crispy.
· Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
For sticky sauce wings: Try our Lemony-Ginger foolproof wings
· After your initial 40 minutes of cooking, remove wings to a clean bowl and toss with your ½ cup of your favorite sauce. Add back to rack and cook for 4 more minutes, turning once midway through the cooking process.
· Serve with extra dipping sauce.
Essential kitchen tools
Want to know the secret of foolproof oven-baked chicken wings? Use a kitchen rack and sheet pan to prepare and bake them off. We like the non-stick variety, but you can always coat your rack with a bit of oil so your wings won't stick.
Chicken wings in the store
Right around game day, chicken wings go on sale. While we always prefer the natural variety, they are often hard to come by.
For an easier and faster way to prepare your wings, purchase "wingettes" or chicken wings already broken down into bite-size pieces.
Seasoning chicken wings
After washing and thoroughly drying your wings, season with salt and pepper. You can also alter this step by using a pre mixed pouch of blended seasoning, however if you do this, omit the salt and pepper since invariably those pouches will contain them.
Toss to coat evenly.
One layer of chicken wings
Next step in your foolproof oven baked chicken wing recipe: lay your seasoned wings on top of your essential kitchen tool, a rack. Place on top of a lined sheet pan for easy clean up.
Refrigerate your wings
Here's a step you might not think of, a quick dry and chill in your refrigerator. All you need is 30 minutes, but you can chill the wings for up to 2 hours. After that, the salt might "cook" your wings and produce a dry end product.
Spice aisle
The spice aisle is your friend! Look at all the possibilities you can concoct. Try different flavors. Experiment. Or go for the tried and true.
Looking for suggestions? Here are some:
1. McCormick's Grill Mate's slow & low Tennessee Smokehouse (or any of your favorite flavor pouch); serve with barbecue dipping sauce
2. ½ tsp. each: garlic and onion powders; ¼ tsp. each paprika and cayenne for spice; serve with honey mustard dipping sauce
3. Omit salt and pepper; add 2 tbs. Madras curry powder, ¼ tsp. ginger powder, ¼ tsp. dry coriander; serve with mango chutney dipping sauce
4. 1 tsp. ginger powder, ¼ tsp. 5-spice powder, ½ tsp. granulated garlic powder; serve with Teriyaki dipping sauce
5. Omit salt and pepper; add 1 packet of taco seasoning; serve with Buffalo dipping sauce (1 stick melted butter with ½ cup Frank's Hot Sauce, blended)
Seasoning mix
The spice aisle is your friend. Get to know what's going on there! Sure, you could use a common BBQ or smokehouse blend, but why not try something different?
Repurpose General Tso's seasoning mix and use as your dry rub. When your wings are cooked, pass along some Sweet and Sour or Duck sauce for dipping.
425' is the perfect roasting temp
What is the perfect roasting temperature for foolproof oven-baked chicken wings that will come out crispy? 425'.
Convection ovens circulate the heat, which we like when roasting our wings, but don't fret if you don't have this option. Your wings will still be delicious.
Cooked but not sauced wings
After 40 minutes in your 425' oven (turning once after 20 minutes), your wings will be fully cooked and crunchy. But this is only the beginning...
Sauce it up!
Lemon curd is an overlooked pantry item
Don't overlook lemon curd when pulling together a sticky-gooey sauce for your chicken wings. With just the right amount of tart and sweet, lemon curd is a great item in savory dishes.
Fresh ginger and garlic
Using your trusty box grater, pull together some fresh ginger and garlic from your pantry and blend with 1/4 cup lemon curd, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, some cayenne to taste and a good pinch of dry thyme. Those are the ingredients for delicious Lemon-ginger chicken wings.
Toss the wings in sauce
After 40 minutes at 425' degrees in your oven, remove your crispy wings and toss in sauce to evenly coat. Place back on your kitchen rack and place in the oven for 4 more minutes to heat the sauce. You're almost done...
Major Grey's chutney
Not into lemon or ginger? Love exotic Indian flavors?
Jams, jellies, chutney's and the like are fantastic sauces to use when making oven baked chicken wings. Add some additional flavors and spices to make it your own.
Clean out your pantry! Try mixing together what you've already got in your home.
Here's 10 suggestions. Mix together…
1. ½ cup Peter Luger's steak sauce, ¼ cup honey. Squeeze of fresh lemon juice, hot sauce to taste
2. 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar, ¼ cup honey, 2 tbs. grainy mustard, squeeze of sriracha sauce to taste
3. 2 tbs. grainy mustard, 1 tbs. Dijon mustard, ½ cup pure maple syrup or honey, squeeze of fresh lemon juice, ¼ cup water, ¼ cup mayonnaise
4. ¼ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup hoisin sauce, ¼ cup pineapple juice, 2 tbs. ketchup, ¼ tsp. each fresh grated ginger and garlic
5. Juice of 1 lime, ¼ cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tbs. molasses, 2 tbs. honey, ¼ cup vegetable oil, 1 tsp. chipotle powder, 1 tbs. granulated garlic
6. ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce, 1 tbs. tequila, ¼ tsp. cumin powder, ¼ tsp. chili powder, squeeze of fresh lime juice
7. ¼ cup fresh orange juice + some fresh zest, ½ tbs. Italian seasoning, ½ tbs. tomato paste, 1 tbs. olive oil
8. ½ cup lemon curd, ¼ cup olive oil, 1 tsp. each fresh minced ginger and garlic, ½ tsp. dry thyme
9. ½ cup ketchup, ¼ cup yellow mustard, ¼ cup vegetable oil, 1 tsp. granulated garlic, ¼ tsp. or more hot sauce
10. Juice of 1 lemon, ¼ cup olive oil, ¼ cup honey, 1 tbs. lemon pepper, 1 tsp. fresh minced garlic
There are so many sauces to be found in your local, Long Island grocery store, so why go for the tried and true all the time?
Check out the Asian aisle and pick up some spicy sriracha or thai sauce with overtones of lemongrass and thai basil.

Awkwafina, a female emcee of Chinese and Korean descent, discusses life as an American Millennial, being culturally relevant in hip-hop, and the key to setting yourself apart from the status quo.
ZT: Awkwafina is a very interesting stage name. How did you come up with it?
A: I came up with the name back in high school. It started as a kind of inside joke between a good friend of mine where we attribute hilarious, feminized product names to actual human beings. For rap game names, pretty much any bottled water/feminine hygiene product seems unusually fitting. Awkwafina felt pretty perfect at the time and it has stuck with me since.
ZT: What's the greatest obstacle you had to overcome, and how did you overcome it?
A: I think for any musician in our particular economy, the greatest obstacle is the decision to do this as a full time job, and to endure the various degrees of successes and failures while doing it. For me, the biggest obstacle was putting Awkwafina out there in a public way. Since my debut track was titled "My Vag," there was a point where I told myself that there's no looking back. I remember thinking a day before the drop date that it would be hard to go on another job interview with that coming up as your Google search. You need to really believe that what you're doing is right.
ZT: What's the worst advice anyone has ever given you?
A: I think the worst advice that I ever got is to not care about what "haters" or critics say. Having a public persona on the Internet is miserable sometimes, as Internet trolls will attack everything from your physical appearance to your race. However, some Internet users see artists in a way that we will never see ourselves. I think it's important to understand who's being racist, unreasonable, or bitter, versus those who are being honest and candid.
ZT: New York Magazine labeled you, "A commentator on culture," how does that make you feel?
A: That makes me feel great. I don't think I would ever want Awkwafina to exist in a lane without cultural relevancy. I know the way I feel when I hear song lyrics or references that I get, and I want to always make that apparent in my music. I am a proud American millennial, and I'm seeing more and more of that same identity coming up in films, television and music. I want other people in my generation to feel solidarity (or at least of feeling of understanding) within my songs.
ZT: What is it that sets you apart from other female emcees?
A: I think what sets me apart from other female emcees is the humorous aspect of my music and the way I express my own humility in my songs. There is a very standardized narrative in a lot of hip-hop music, and I don't think Awkwafina could ever realistically represent that.
ZT: What advice would you give to an aspiring female emcee trying to make it big in hip-hop?
A: I would tell an aspiring female emcee to be as original as possible – to rap about things that have never been rapped about before. There are so many talented but struggling rappers out there who haven't caught a big break because they are all very similar. The key is to set yourself apart from the status quo.
ZT: Years from now, when people say Awkwafina, what will they say?
A: It will probably have something to do with a vagina.
ZT: How can people get in contact with you, and where can they purchase your music?
A: People who want to talk to me directly can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com, Facebook message me on my artist page, or visit my website. My music can be purchased on iTunes or Amazon.com.
ZT: In conclusion, I want to end this Q&A session with Mel Blanc's famous catchphrase, "That's All Folks!" Thanks again for reading another Through The Wire article, and always remember that (P) Positive, (E) Energy, (A) Always, (C) Creates, (E) Elevation (PEACE).

Billy Hamilton caps Reds' comeback for 6-5 win and sweep of Cubs
Walkoff single completes rally from 5-0 deficit
CINCINNATI – Billy Hamilton finished off the Reds' biggest comeback of the season for a doubleheader sweep, and all of a sudden, Cincinnati is back in the race.
Hamilton's ninth-inning single gave the Reds a 6-5 victory over the Cubs Tuesday night and moved Cincinnati within 3 1/2 games of first-place Milwaukee in the NL Central, their smallest deficit since April 9.
"It just unifies all of us," manager Bryan Price said. "We just feel really good right now."
So good that some of them wanted to keep going at the end of a very long day.
"Let's play three!" Hamilton said. "I'm ready to go right now."
The Reds have won four straight, five out of six and 13 out of 18.
The Reds fell behind 5-0 in the third inning of the nightcap. Their biggest comeback of the season had been two runs. They took advantage of a struggling team, sending Chicago to its fifth straight loss.
Hot-hitting Jay Bruce, who hit his third two-run homer in three games to lead a 4-2 win in the afternoon game, doubled home the tying run in the eighth.
Hamilton then had a broken-bat RBI single in the ninth off Hector Rondon (1-3) for the Reds' first doubleheader sweep since 2009 against Pittsburgh.
Hamilton has driven in six runs during the first three games of the series, relishing the clutch situations.
"I love `em," Hamilton said. "I want to be the guy in a situation like that."
Chris Coghlan homered in both games and helped the Cubs get in position for a split, but Chicago's bullpen couldn't hold on.
Coghlan hit the first of three homers off left-hander David Holmberg, who lasted only 2 2/3 innings in his Reds debut.
Cubs lefty Tsuyoshi Wada made his major league debut and gave up an unearned run in five innings, leaving with a 5-1 lead.
Hamilton's RBI triple cut it to 5-4 in the seventh, and Bruce -- playing first base in the nightcap -- had another pivotal extra-base hit against Pedro Strop.
Rondon gave up a pair of singles to open the ninth, and Hamilton singled to the opposite field for the win.
The Reds put first baseman Joey Votto back on the disabled list before Game 1, hoping a strained muscle above his left knee will heal enough to let him play this season. They're using different players -- including Bruce -- at the position for now.
"The only thing you can see that's positive out of this is it's creating opportunities for other guys to play and they're taking advantage of it," Price said.

Caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee offer the benefit
Previous meta-analyses identified an inverse association of coffee consumption with the risk of type 2 diabetes. However, an updated meta-analysis is needed because new studies comparing the trends of association for caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee have since been published.
Dr. Frank Hu, MD, MPH. PhD, Professor of Nutrition and Epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health and senior author of this study along with colleagues examined the association between coffee consumption and type 2 diabetes risk.
Researchers searched PubMed and Embase for cohort or nested case-control studies that assessed the relationship of coffee consumption and risk of type 2 diabetes from 1966 to February 2013.
For this analysis, 28 prospective studies were included with 1,109,272 study participants and 45,335 cases of type 2 diabetes. The follow-up period ranged from 10 months to 20 years.
In comparison to no coffee or rare coffee drinking the results showed the relative risk for diabetes was 0.92 (0.90–0.94) for one cup of coffee, 0.85 (0.82–0.88) for two cups, 0.79 (0.75–0.83) three cups, 0.75 (0.71–0.80) four cups, 0.71 (0.65–0.76) five cups and 0.67 (0.61–0.74) for six cups.
In their conclusion the researchers write "Coffee consumption was inversely associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes in a dose-response manner. Both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee was associated with reduced diabetes risk."
According to Dr. Hu, "We found that a 1-cup/day increment of regular coffee was associated with a 9% reduction in diabetes, and 1 cup/day of decaf was associated with 6% reduction in diabetes, but the difference in risk reduction between the 2 types of coffee was not statistically different."
"This study provides strong evidence that regular consumption of coffee is beneficial for prevention of diabetes," Dr. Hu told Medscape Medical News. "For individuals who already drink coffee, they may enjoy this and other potential health benefits, and for those who are sensitive to the effects of caffeine, decaf may confer similar benefits."
In closing Dr. Hu related to Medscape Medical News, Coffee is only one of many dietary and lifestyle factors that can contribute to diabetes prevention. Clearly, maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise is the most important way to reduce risk of diabetes. For those who drink coffee regularly, they should enjoy it, but they still need to watch their weight and be physically active."
This research is published in the February issue of Diabetes Care.

Not surprising for a site that deals with fungal infections, we have reviewed a number of antifungal creams, lacquers and ointments. Our focus has been primarily on products that are available over the counter and applied topically to affected areas.
Fungal infections treated by topical anti-fungal medications include athletes foot, nail fungus, jock itch, vaginal yeast infections, male yeast infection and ringworm. Note that the terms "ringworm" and "tinea" are sometimes used as a catch all term for all fungal infections that affect the skin, hair and nails. Furthermore, as yeasts are botanically related to fungi, anti-fungal creams are often used to treat topical yeast infections caused by Candida albicans.
Antifungal Creams
Monistat is an antifungal cream for yeast infection. While it has been developed for vaginal infections, men can also use the cream for male yeast infections. The active antifungal agent is Miconazole Nitrate, available in difference concentrations depending on whether the product chosen is the 1, 7 or 10 day treatment.

Funginix is a popular antifungal nail polish designed specifically for nail fungus treatment. The antifungal agents used in the formulation include undecylenic acid, tea tree oil and camphor. The product is brushed onto the surface of the nail, and underneath its tip, from where it penetrates into the nail to reach the fungus and destroy it.

I recently wrote an article about how to sell microstock, where I shared my experience of selling images on ShutterStock, Istock and VectorStock.
In this article I decided to concentrate more on how to correctly upload your vectors to ShutterStock.
So, in order to get started, log into your ShutterStock account. On the top menu panel you will see the green button "Upload Content".
Click at it, and choose "Submit Photos".
After this, you will be given a choice of how to upload your content: via FTP, Browser Plugin ,or HTML.
I normally choose HTML.
To sell vectors, you have to upload 2 files: eps and jpg, which have to be named the same. The minimum size of uploaded Jpg file is 4.0MP. That is, the dimensions multiplied by each other (height times width) must be at least 4.0 million px
As long as you uploaded both files, you will see the thumbnail of your image with the word "VECTOR" below. If it is not written "Vector", it means that you uploaded file incorrectly, and it is being read as raster.
In this section you have to write down the description and the keywords to your image. Keywords should be relevant to your image; the better they describe your image, the easier it may be found by the buyers.
After you have entered the keywords, you will have to choose 2 categories. If you upload vectors you MUST choose Illustration/Clip-Art as one of your categories. The second should describe which category your image belongs to.
Having completed this, press "Submit These Photos for Review", and you will see your image on your home page wating for review. You will be notified via email, whether your image has been approved or rejected in about 1-3 days.
ShutterStock has recently changed its interface. And what I really like about new contributor page is that it helps you to see your Shutterstock performance at a glance each time you log in. You can always see where you images were downloaded from, as well as see how much of your new content is sold lately, etc.
This is basically it! Hope someone might find it useful.
If you have any further questions, please write them in the commect section or contact me via email: ychty.vse (et) gmail.com

Who says a burger is fast food? Pretty much anyone you talk to, but don't expect it to stay that way. The wave of the future is not not always so exquisite as time traveling cars, technologically sophisticated helper monkeys, and the return of jazz music. Sometimes you can catch a glimpse of the future in more elementary yet satisfying measures.
Take a close look at your local burger holes. Lots of McDonald's, Sonics, Wendy's, maybe some Hardee's or Backyard Burgers. These all provide one level of service, quality, and cost, to speak generally. Let's say you want to take it one level better, though. Where do you go? You have to bring in a higher echelon of sit down dining. We're talking Chili's or Friday's, something along those lines. Yet typically those restaurants would still fall short of a 'high class' dining experience.
Now we've identified a niche market, the middle to upper class of burgers if you will, which has for years remained unexplored and uninhabited. Five Guys first began breaking through this barrier a decade ago. Their brand looks very close to fast food, but takes a little more care, effort, and concern with their burgers, and the result is a pricier and tastier product.
There's a limit to how much taste improvement one can realistically offer and then charge for at a restaurant. There's no limit to ambiance. I predict we see the upscale burger, and I'm talking about one people eat with a knife and fork, emerging in all sorts of shapes and venues.

OpenSolaris 2009.06 Bug with vncviewer, and a workaround
By drapeau on Dec 06, 2009
Turns out I'm not the only one who ran into this problem, which doesn't seem to be fixed but at least it has a workaround. The workaround is to turn off visual effects for desktop actions. To do that, go to the System menu, choose "Preferences -> Appearance" and you will see a panel that looks like the image below. Be sure to check "None:" for the visual effects, and vncviewer from other computers (including Macs, which is where I first saw the problem) should go away.
Here's a link to the discussion I found about this problem.
And here's what the preferences panel looks like in OpenSolaris 2009.06 and later builds:

Josephine Lindt
Re: Developmental Pediatrician for ADHD
We've been taking my 11 yr old son to Dr. Josephine Lindt in Albany for over four years. I've been very happy with her care. We suspected ADHD by the time my son was around 6 yrs old and at first saw another behavioral pediatrician, Dr. Lawrence Diller in Walnut Creek. We had an extremeley poor experience with him and finding Dr. Lindt was a huge relief. On top of the ADHD diagnosis, she also immediately spotted signs of dyslexia and dysgraphia that no other professionals had even suggested. After follow up testing with an ed. therapist, we were able to start getting him much needed help for reading and writing. We have switched medication many times over the years. Sometimes a med will work well for a few months or more and then with a growth spurt the dosage will need to be upped. Othertimes it has been more a matter of making him too ''flat'' or just not working to help him focus or settle down. Dr. Lindt has been very easy to work with in that regard--checking in by phone and being patient to keep on top of things until finding one that works with the fewest side effects. Medication has made a very positive difference for my son--academically and socially. Best of luck on your journey. Mom of a great boy
We have appts. scheduled for Dr. Josephine Lindt and Dr. Deborah Sedberry for behaviorial issues (possibly ADHD) that we're having with our 4-year-old son. Dr. Berman was our first choice, but we're on a year-long waiting list to see him. Can you please tell me what your experience has been with either Dr. Lindt or Dr. Sedberry? Who would you recommend? Our appt. is coming up soon and we're not sure who to go with. Thanks! -Anon
She evaluated our son over the course of several appointments (I think 4 1-hour appointments, but I could be wrong). He had a complex profile and we had already been through rounds of other testing (audiology, eyesight, speech/language evaluation). After she meet with him she scheduled a follow-up meeting with us.
She basically told us that she really couldn't give us an exact diagnosis and told us that it could be several things (ADHD among them). She recommended to us that we try him on some drugs to see if it helped, which was somewhat shocking to me since she had just told us that she could not give him a diagnosis, and that we go for a complete neuropsych evaluation. We opted to do the neuropsych evaluation the next year, which ruled out ADHD, and pass on the drugs. Now, several years later, our son clearly has dyslexia and we are working with him and his tutors and he is doing great. No more behavior issues at school (which were mostly in the category of impulse control).
One other piece of information: Dr. Lindt. never wrote up a report for us, so you might want to let her know up front if you will be needing that. I assumed she would provide us with a report since her services were not cheap, but that was not the case.
Overall, we were not happy with her services. I would strongly recommend either getting in to see someone for a neuropsych eval or waiting to get on Dr. Berman's list if you can wait that long. Good luck Anonymous, please
Has anybody had any experience with Dr. Josephine Lindt, a developmental pediatrician? Our 5 year old appears to have some sensory integration issues; we're trying to get a clearer and more well-rounded evaluation than we've gotten to date, and also advice about an appropriate school setting for September and about activities/therapy could help him. Thanks for any information about Dr. Lindt, or other relevant specialists. Deborah
Does anyone have any input on Joan Chomack, a speech therapist, and/or Deborah Sedberry or Josephine Lindt - both of whom are behavioral pediatricians? Thanks! Melissa

I would like to address the government's (Federal, State, and local) born-again interest in calling the nation to prayer. In this time of National crisis, prayer seems to be the only opiate that our government has to offer the masses. Predictably, this has led to another debate over prayer in schools. Clearly, if such an abomination were to come to fruition, we would have serious Constitutional violations at hand.
While I don't advise anyone to stop praying or reading scripture should that be their wish, I do acknowledge, accept, and appreciate the fact that we live in a multicultural society. What this means is that we have the right to practice whatever religion we prefer, or none at all -- at home.
In this free country, there are many gods, kinds of prayer, and scripture to represent. So, whose prayer and scripture do the public's tax dollars pay to espouse? That of mainstream Christians? Why, because they have the largest numbers? That argument is specious.
But, despite that flimsy argument, say that we choose to educate the masses in the faith backed by the largest numbers. What if those "numbers" were Hindus? What if the number of American Taoists were to grow overnight? Would we then preach the Baghavad Gita or the I Ching in schools? Would we waste our tax dollars to use the Census as a tool in determining which faith wins this year?
Let us not forget the millions of Jews, Hindus, Muslims, Native Americans, Sikhs, Jehovah's Witnesses, Jains, Buddhists, Shintoists, Taoists, Aborigines and Atheists who, together, make up an enormous percentage of our population. Their numbers are growing every day. Are we to ignore them all? Just erase their existence with one swift stroke of legislation?
Do we insist that their children sit idly by and have another faith's doctrine shoved down their throats each day as a part of their public education, while their parents' tax dollars pay for the privilege? Surely not, when we can leave religion to the private sector and keep the Federal and local government's noses out of our diverse multicultural business.
Protect our Constitution and your religion. Practice your religion at home, at temples, mosques, churches, and meeting halls. But don't decide for the rest of us. School is for learning facts. Religion is for learning faith. Never the twain shall meet for my tax dollars!
Thank you,
Amy Wood

TRENTON, NJ – It took just one lunge to derail what was shaping up to be a breakout season for Trenton Thunder third baseman Rob Segedin. A former third-round pick out of Tulane in the 2010 Amateur Draft, Segedin dove for a ground ball in a game last April, only to feel something not quite right in his hip when he came up. He finished the game, but after an MRI the next day, his season was over.
After hitting just .188 with three home runs over 48 games in his first stint with the Thunder in 2012, Segedin was leading the team with a .338 batting average at the time of his injury and appeared well on his way to establishing himself as one of the best hitters in the system.
Now, a fully healthy Segedin returns to Trenton to start the 2014 season after resolving the tightness in his hip that has plagued him since high school.
"It was more of like tightness and stiffness," Segedin said when describing what the hip had felt like for years. "I was always big, so I figured it had something to do with me being a big guy."
"Since I got the surgery, and post-surgery the way I feel, I know it was definitely something that was wrong with me for a large part of my life," Segedin added.
With the big league club having succumbed to injuries at third base last year, one would believe that Segedin's early season injury was a missed opportunity. Just don't tell him that. Segedin revealed that it was more of a blessing in disguise.
"At first, obviously when you see the guys up there struggling when I was playing well, you think it's a missed opportunity," Segedin said on Thursday. "But based on the results and how I feel now, it's definitely a blessing in disguise. I feel better than I've ever felt before in my life."
Segedin's rehab from hip surgery went so well that he was able to participate in spring training this year without restrictions. The 25-year-old noted that he stayed in Tampa rehabbing until Thanksgiving, and by the time he returned in February, the training staff was ready to let him loose.
"I stayed [in Tampa] into November…it was a pretty smooth recovery, there was no setbacks," said Segedin. "Our training staff was pretty comfortable with me coming to spring training being full go. Usually, a lot of guys coming off surgery, they kind of ease them back into it. This spring training, I was a full participant, just like I never even had an injury."
Because Segedin was fully healthy for spring training, he was able to spend most of his time focusing on his development. Even though he spent his spring working exclusively at third base, Segedin possesses the versatility to play all four corner positions. Though he has one of the better bats in the New York Yankees farm system, Segedin recognizes that it is his ability to play three or four positions is what may someday get him to the major leagues.
"If you look at the Yankees who've made it up [from the minor leagues], outside of Cano, even Gardner played all the outfield positions," Segedin noted. "There's not really many guys who go up there and have a position set for them. You have to have that versatility. I can play a little outfield, I can play a little first base, and hopefully that versatility is something where I can use to my advantage."
That versatility, coupled with the increased mobility Segedin has seen from his repaired hip, should help him make the jump to Triple-A at some point this summer. Provided his hip truly feels as good as he claims, Segedin could be a sleeper candidate for a breakout year and may even be able to put himself on the radar as a legitimate contender for a spot in New York by next spring.

SAN DIEGO - For the third straight day, the Washington baseball team rallied late in a game vs. San Diego State, but after winning the first two at SDSU, the Huskies couldn't hold off the Aztecs on Sunday in a 10-9 loss at Tony Gwynn Stadium.
The Huskies (2-1) trailed 6-2 before a six-run outburst in the seventh. After SDSU tied the game at 8-8, Washington scored one in the ninth for a 9-8 lead.
But in the bottom of the ninth, the Aztecs (1-2) loaded the bases on three singles before Cody Smith belted a double to the gap in left-center, driving in a pair of runs to win the game.
The Huskies had trailed since the first inning before taking the lead with six runs in the seventh. That rally was fueled by three singles, three walks, a hit batter and an error.
After SDSU scored two in the bottom of the seventh to tie the score at 8-8, Washington went back in front in the ninth. True freshman and San Diego-area native Branden Berry belted a one-out triple in the ninth and freshman Matt Rogers, running for Berry, scored on a sacrifice fly from JC-transfer right fielder Michael Camporeale to give Washington a lead.
However, the Aztecs opened the ninth with consecutive singles from Greg Allen, Steven Pallares and Matt Muñoz before Smith's game-winning double.
UW sophomore reliever Nick Palewicz (0-1) entered the game to begin the ninth and was charged with the loss. SDSU freshman Michael Cederoth (1-0) pitched the final two innings for the win.
Husky freshman Tyler Davis turned in a terrific debut pitching performance in relief. Davis, a righty from Mountain View, Calif., entered the game in the third and worked four and one-third innings, giving up three runs (two earned) on two hits while walking two and striking out six.
The Aztecs took their first lead in the first inning. After back-to-back walks to open the inning, a single from Ryan Muno drove in one. A groundout from Brad Haynal drove in another to give SDSU a 2-0 lead.
In the second, San Diego State added to its lead when John Spirk led off with a single, moved up to third on a bunt and a groundout and scored on a two-out single from Spencer Thornton, making it 3-0.
Washington broke through for its first run in the third. With one out, freshman shortstop Erik Forgione was hit by a pitch. After taking third on a single from Jayce Ray, he scored on a sacrifice fly from Joe Meggs, cutting the lead to 3-1.
However, the Aztecs were back at it in the third, adding two more runs on RBI singles from Spirk and Josh Romanski, increasing their advantage to 5-1.
The Huskies got one run back in the top of the fourth. Berry led off with a single and, after advancing to third on a Robert Pehl single and an error, he scored on a wild pitch.
But in the bottom of the fifth, SDSU picked up a sixth run as Spirk grounded into what should have been an inning-ending double play. However, the throw to first base was errant, allowing Tim Zier to score, making it a 6-2 game.
Washington mounted a six-run rally in the seventh to move on top. Camporeale led off with a single, ending Kendzora's day. With reliever Ethan Miller on in his place, the UW loaded the bases on with a hit batter and a walk. With one out, Ray singled to drive in one and it looked like the Aztecs had caught a break when Meggs tapped pitch back to the mound. However, on the throw to the plate for a forceout, Haynal, the SDSU catcher, failed to put his foot on the plate, allowing the run to score without an out being recorded.
With the bases still loaded and one out, Jacob Lamb drew a walk to force in Andrew Ely from third, cutting the Aztec lead to one at 6-5.
Bryan Crabb replaced Miller on the mound, but walked Berry to force in the tying run. Pehl followed with a sacrifice fly to put the Huskies on top before Camporeale's second single of the inning pushed the Husky lead to 8-6.
San Diego State answered in the bottom of the seventh, tying the game at 8-8 with a pair of runs. A two-out single from Spirk drove in Jomel Torres, who had reached on a walk before a two-out, pinch-hit single from Muñoz drove in Greg Allen to tie it.
Ray led the Washington offense with three hits while Berry and Camporeale added two apiece.
Washington opens its home schedule this Tuesday in a 5:00 p.m. game vs. SeattleU at Husky Ballpark before returning to the road next weekend to face UC Irvine in a three-game series.

'It's older than most of you.' by john wirt| email@example.com April 27, 2014; 5:14 p.m. Comments Irma Thomas, a veteran of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, belted out the danceable soul, R&B and gospel in her mid-afternoon show at the Acura Stage with a big 10-piece band. Thomas' four-piece horn section didn't just play Thomas' signature songs and solos. They danced choreographed moves with the lady known as the Soul Queen of New Orleans. As for her own singing and dancing, Thomas' on-stage energy and vocal authority seemed little diminished by the passing decades. "I'd like to sing a song that got me into this business," she told the crowd. "It's older than most of you." Indeed, Thomas' debut single, "You Can Have My Husband but Please (Don't Mess With My Man)," was released 54 years ago this spring. Nonetheless, she unleashed the song's "Yeah, yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah! Ah, yeah! Ah, yeah!" with commanding volume and impact. Of course, Thomas also sang the beautiful Allen Toussaint ballad "It's Raining," featuring the tick-tock rhythm that counts down the lonely hours. "I've got blues so bad," Thomas sang, "I can hardly catch my breath." Following Thomas' second-line segment tradition, she pulled her white handkerchief out for a medley of "Sing It" and "Iko Iko." "Now," she instructed the audience, many were probably from out of town, "the proper way to do this is to wave your handkerchiefs and umbrellas and towels in the air and put you backfield in motion."
