(David Goldman/AP)Bartolo Colon was in stellar form on Tuesday night. Pounding the strike zone with a barrage of two- and four-seam fastballs — 88 out of 101 pitches, according to BrooksBaseball.net — the rotund 40-year-old righty spun seven shutout innings against the Braves, holding them to six hits without walking a batter in the Mets' 4-0 win.As with his debut for New York last week, Colon's strong work on the mound was nearly overshadowed by his ineptitude at the plate — a fitting diametric opposite on a night when the Braves honored Hank Aaron on the 40th anniversary of his record-breaking 715th home run. In his first plate appearance against Aaron Harang, with Ruben Tejada on first and nobody out in the top of the third, Colon bunted foul three straight times for a strikeout, and as you can see below, he showed off form that will never make it into a Tom Emanski video.https://twitter.com/jessespector/status/453684718803111937/Leading off the fifth for his second plate appearance, Colon struck out looking. Facing reliever Gus Schlosser for his third at-bat with nobody out and Tejada on first in the seventh inning, he finally got a bunt down, his first sacrifice since 2011. It was a big deal, as Tejada scored on Eric Young Jr.'s RBI single one batter later, turning a 2-0 lead into 3-0. Afterward, he was moved to show his teammates just what it took to dominate the Braves on both sides of the ball: "Guts."(Hat-tip to @CespedesBBQ for that indelible image)Colon's steady diet of fastballs is something to behold. In fact, no major league pitcher gets away with throwing them more often. Among those with at least 500 innings since he reemerged in the majors with the Yankees in 2011, Colon has thrown a combination of two- and four-seamers more than any other pitcher by a substantial margin. Via FanGraphs:#NameIPFB%1Bartolo Colon520.085.8%2Justin Masterson626.079.8%3Gio Gonzalez609.067.8%4Derek Holland586.365.5%5Rick Porcello542.064.7%6Ian Kennedy622.763.3%7Joe Saunders573.063.2%8Clayton Kershaw703.762.6%9David Price635.362.5%10Jordan Zimmermann575.362.5%Via FanGraphs's plate discipline leaderboard among the same set of pitchers, Colon ranks third in terms of percentage of pitches in the strike zone (49.4 percent); only Cliff Lee (54.3 percent) and R.A. Dickey (50.8 percent) are higher. He's fourth in first-pitch strike rate (65.6 percent) and dead last in swinging strike percentage (5.5 percent) but first in both contact percentage (88.1 percent) and contact percentage outside the zone (80.9 percent). It's a unique package, to be sure, but it's textbook: If you can locate your fastball with consistency, you can get ahead early and bend hitters to your will even if you don't blow them away.Just as fun to ponder as how Colon gets the job done on the mound is where his lifetime .100/.108/.100 performance at the plate fits into recent history. That sorry showing, from 109 plate appearances worth of "work," isn't quite as bad as you'd think, but it's still in the garbage pile. Of the 45 hurlers with at least 100 plate appearances in the Designated Hitter Era (1973 onward), 36 have more PA without an extra-base hit, headed by Jim Deshaies with a whopping 440 PA; Zito is second with 418, and among active pitchers, Ubaldo Jimenez (323 PA), Joe Blanton (256 PA), Tom Gorzelanny (250 PA) and Tommy Hanson (225 PA) all have more than twice as many opportunities as Colon without anything beyond a single.Meanwhile, Colon's .108 on-base percentage is the 24th-lowest among the 567 DH Era pitchers with at least 100 PA, but among those active, Mark Buehrle (.076 in 131 PA), Ross Detwiler (.079 in 122 PA), Hanson (.083 in 225 PA) and Charlie Morton (.089 in 203 PA) have him beat by a wide margin. His .208 OPS is the 29th lowest among those 567 pitchers and sixth-lowest among those active (MLB appearances in 2013 or 2014):Rk Player PA YearsAVGOBP SLG OPS1Ross Detwiler1222007-2014.063.079.063.1412Lance Lynn1412011-2014.063.117.063.1793Mark Buehrle1312000-2013.068.076.110.1864Ross Ohlendorf1522007-2013.073.099.095.1945Charlie Morton2032008-2014.085.089.107.1966Bartolo Colon1091997-2014.100.108.100.2087Aaron Harang6222002-2014.092.100.110.2108Johnny Cueto3442008-2014.095.123.099.2229Tom Gorzelanny2502005-2013.093.133.093.22510Edinson Volquez2592005-2014.096.112.119.23111Trevor Cahill1412009-2014.101.108.124.23212Matt Garza1422006-2014.097.125.113.23813Ryan Dempster6881998-2013.099.118.121.23914Anibal Sanchez2832006-2013.089.147.097.24415Matt Belisle1062003-2014.083.125.119.24416Carlos Villanueva1142006-2014.111.137.111.24817Hiroki Kuroda2512008-2013.102.155.107.26218Mike Pelfrey3052006-2013.098.146.117.26319J.A.

Let's not open that can of worms today.Oddly enough, Colon's opposite number from Tuesday night is just below (above?) him on the list. While holding the Mets to one run and two hits over six innings in his second strong start for Atlanta, Harang went 0-for-2 with a strikeout. Nobody's penning paeans to Harang's offensive ineptitude this morning, however, because he simply doesn't capture the imagination of the baseball-watching public the way Colon has. From his status as a former Cy Young winner to his physical shape to his remarkable comeback from five years of arm-injury oblivion via a controversial stem cell transplant to his ability to pour fastballs into the strike zone with ease while offering little offspeed stuff — it's all about location, location, location — and in spite of his drug-related transgression, he's just Big Fun every time out.

"Teen Mom" star Kailyn Lowry is currently living her life the way she wants, as she is married and have two sons. But as fans know, it hasn't been an easy journey for Kailyn. She was living with Jo Rivera's parents, wasn't talking to her mother and wasn't sure where her career was going. But she always showed the raw side of her life. Now, she is denying that she ever faked scenes to make her life seem better. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on Jan. 10, "Teen Mom" star Kailyn Lowry is now revealing that she never faked any scenes on the show.
According to a new report that surfaced online, Kailyn was being accused of faking the infamous hookup with Jo Rivera on a previous season of the show. She supposedly claims that the scene was faked and scripted, as she cheated on Jordan during the season. However, she is using Twitter to set the record straight.
"I never reenacted that hook up!" she revealed after reading the article. On the catch-up special, she revealed that she needed treatment for an STD and she was hoping that she would get back together with Jo so Isaac could have his parents together.
Why would Kailyn fake this scene? Do you think it was a raw moment that she shared because she wanted fans to know the whole story?


text: After the Miami Dolphins emerged from draft weekend without drafting a new option at left tackle or trading for Branden Albert, the discussion turned to what they'd do instead. The Albert deal is not entirely off the board, and the two sides may re-visit the possibility in the future. However, in the time since the draft ended, Miami has shown some interest in other veteran options.

After his final minor league injury rehab appearance with the Tulsa Drillers, I had the chance to chat with Colorado Rockies slugger and reigning National League batting champion Michael Cuddyer. The 14-year veteran is recovering from a broken bone in his shoulder and hasn't taken the field in a Major League game since June 5.
When he exited the Colorado lineup, Cuddyer was batting .317 with five homers and 16 RBIs. He is expected to be back at Coors Field this weekend when the Cincinnati Reds pay a visit to Denver.
Prior to playing at Double-A Tulsa, Cuddyer spent five games at Class A Grand Junction (Colo.) During his three games with the Drillers, Cuddyer went 2-for-11 at the plate.
First, how are you feeling?
I feel good. I feel healthy. I'm ready to go. My main goal was to see some pitches and get in game situations. I wanted to get my legs back and get back into baseball shape.
You could've stayed at Coors Field and worked out, but decided to go back to the minors. Why?
Again, I wanted to get game situations. I wanted to get my familiarity with everything back again and you can't do that without getting into some games. You can't simulate everything without actually being back on the field.
How has it been for you to be back in the minors? Have the younger guys asked a lot of questions?
It's been great being around these guys. We've talked a lot and I've tried to answer any questions they might have. By no means do I always do everything the right way, but I want to try to set an example where I can and talk to the younger players as much as I can.
It's been a tough season in Colorado. What are your goals when you get back to Denver?
It's always better to smile after a game than frown. There's nothing easy about winning game in the Major Leagues. I'm ready to get back and help the Rockies win as many games as we can.

After a fantastic-as-usual opening ceremony (national anthem audio issues notwithstanding), engines roared and the field took off.
Then stopped.
For the second year in a row, we had a crash before the honorary starter could shake hands, put the flag away and find some shade. Davey Hamilton spun and found the wall inside turn 2. So Jack Nicholson dropped the green again and we're back at it.
It took a moment to get my bearings, as the ABC broadcast appears to be about a half lap behind the race outside my window here in the media center. As cars whizzed down the front stretch, they were approaching turn 3. Explains how I could watch the caution flag come out for the Hamilton crash.
Now, it's Bruno Junqueira's turn, also in Turn2. The speed demon of the second day of qualifying (and the sexy darkhorse pick because of that) is also out of the race. What a couple of years it's been for Bruno at Indy.
So we're down to 31 cars before my seat gets warm. I really hope this isn't a trend, for the sake of the race.
We're through Lap 20 (though the average speed of the race is under 140 MPH, if that tells you about how many of those were actually under green) and lookie here… Tony Kanaan, who qualified with about 45 minutes left in Bump Day, then moved back to 33rd when he switched cars, is up to 16th. Now THAT would be a story.
First pit stops hit around Lap 37. All the leaders, then just about everyone else pitted, then the course went yellow. Scary moment in the pits for Will Power as he took off with the fuel hose still attached.
Dario leads Graham Rahal, Power, Danica Patrick and Alex Lloyd under yellow at Lap 41, though I believe at least Rahal and Patrick still have to pit. (I was right. Danica pits and drops to 20th, Rahal only falls to sixth and Power had to come back into the pits and falls to eighth.)
Back to green. Lap 51 now and it's an interesting mix in the top half of the pylon. Dario and Helio are still 1-2, but Rafa Matos is in third, with solid, no-frills, as expected Ed Carpenter and Townsend Bell are fifth and seventh, respectively.
Go back a bit and Tony Kanaan is still climbing and now has help. He's 12th, immediately behind teammates Ryan Hunter-Reay and Marco Andretti, with another teammate John Andretti two spots behind. A good spot to be for Andretti Autosport to make some ground.
Will Power made a third trip through the pits moments ago and has fallen to 25th from his front row starting position and Bertrand Baguette and Hideki Mutoh have also lost several laps with issues.
Jinx! John Andretti is black flagged for a block of Dan Wheldon on the front stretch. He'll drop to 25th, just ahead of Vitor Meira and Sebastian Saavedra.
Lap 69, chaos in the pits! Rafa Matos lost a left rear tire (the only one he has, in fact) and turned it into the pit wall. Everyone appears to be okay and Matos is back out on track. Scott Dixon braked hard to avoid Matos and appeared to kill the engine. He got pushed back to his pit box, re-fired and got back out, but not after a huge drop in position.
More significantly for Tony Kanaan fans, could this incident have shown Lady Luck is getting ready to reward TK for his patience? Matos (and his tire) were headed across pit row toward Kanaan's car, but made hard left turns and the No. 11 car got through free and easy and into fourth place. Any other time in the last four years, I'm betting that tire gets TK. Is karma being funny for the funny Brazilian?
Back green on Lap 72.
Back to yellow on Lap 73.
Rafael Matos hit Turn 1 hard and backwards. Out of the car and appears to be walking fine.
Vitor Meira became the latest crash victim around Lap 105, getting high in Turn 2 and smacking the wall. A sad end for Vitor, but remarkable that he was back in the field this year. An excellent recovery for Meira after crashing hard in last year's 500.
Tomas Scheckter took over the lead during the caution, having pitted right before Meira's crash, but Franchitti took it back on the first lap back green. Tony Kanaan has climbed to second.
More pit stops coing. Wilson, Scheckter and Kanaan are among the first in, out with no apparent issues. Marco Andretti takes over second behind Franchitti for the time being.
Team Penske had a horrible stretch around the Lap 146 mark. Starting with Helio Castroneves stalling his car in the pits, en route to a 20+ second stop, followed by a 13 or so second stop by Will Power, then topped off by Ryan Briscoe crashing hard and sliding down the front stretch.
Dario Franchitti has resumed the race lead, followed by Andretti Autosport teammates Marco Andretti and Tony Kanaan. Tomas Scheckter and Townsend Bell round out the top 5 at Lap 152.
Rookie Sebastian Saavedra crashed on Lap 162. Saavedra, who also ran the Indy Lights Freedom 100 on Friday, made the field while waiting for an MRI at Methodist Hospital last Sunday following a practice crash on Bump Day. He got in when Jay Howard and Paul Tracy discarded their times in an effort to qualify faster, but failed.
Mike Conway, Justin Wilson, Castroneves and Graham Rahal chose not to pit during the caution period and have taken over the top 4 spots.
One by one, those four peeled off for fuel, leaving Franchitti back in the lead, ahead of Kanaan and Wheldon, when Kanaan needed to pit, a spectacular final lap crash by Conway allowed Franchitti to cruise to victory.
Conway touched wheels with Ryan Hunter-Reay coming out of Turn 4, sending his No. 24 car flipping in the air and into the catch fence on the outside of the track. Hunter-Reay also hit the wall in the incident and finished 18th.
Franchitti became the 17th driver in Indy 500 history to win multiple races.

It appears Justin Bieber simply can't get a break in life these days in spite of his fame and enormous wealth. The infamous egg throwing incident which appeared to be a scandal of the past has surfaced with news the DA in Los Angeles is planning to file criminal charges against him reported TMZ on June 17, 2014. It is not clear yet whether this charge is a misdemeanor or felony charge.
It is said the prosecutor who investigated this case said to the victim that if this isn't a felony well than nothing is. The neighbor has estimated damages of around $20K from the egging. The DA's office claims there's a lot of evidence Bieber did the egging. A video taken by the victim although dark is said to show Bieber at the scene of the egging. And a surveillance video seized from Bieber apparently shows him doing the egging.
Bieber is really facing the possibility of a felony charge over alleged egg throwing at a previous neighbors home in California reports
the Toronto Star. It once appeared for certain if charges were filed in this case Bieber would get away with a misdemeanor charge, but now nobody is really certain about that.
Careful consideration of this case leads to a realization that $20K in damages is a lot of money for a lot of people in view of how expensive living in America is these days during economic hard times. However, in consideration of the fact that nobody was hurt in this incident it appears everyone should take it easy with Bieber if in fact he is really guilty of the egg throwing.
Although he certainly has the money to settle for the damages some people might argue it's not right to accept a financial settlement
because that's not fair to a poor person hit with a vandalism charge who can't afford a settlement. Nevertheless, to turn considerations of human decency around and persecute someone with cruel and unusual punishment simply because they are fortunate enough to be wealthy does not bring the American justice system any closer to being civilized.
There are also of course some other thoughts worth considering here such as if this incident really occurred as the prosecutors are now insisting, what is Bieber's side of the story. It is not clear what really happened between him and his old neighbor which could have lead to such an incident. Perhaps someone called his on again off again charming girlfriend Selena Gomez a tramp.
It appears reasonable to assume there may have been some inciting events involved which would change the color of this incident in the minds of a jury. With these considerations in mind Bieber really shouldn't be crucified in the eyes of humanity over all of this. If that continues in the press it will be very hard for him to have a fair day in court which he deserves.

MWC 2012: LG Optimus 4X HD P880 preview (video)
As expected, today LG has showcased a number of new Android smartphones at MWC 2012 in Barcelona (all of which have been previously announced – so LG didn't surprise us with anything in the end).
The highlight device is the LG Optimus 4X HD (model number P880), which comes as the world's first quad-core smartphone to feature a True HD (1280 x 720 pixels, 4.7 inches) IPS display.
The quad-core processor inside the Optimus 4X HD is a Tegra 3 clocked at 1.5GHz. In Nvidia's own words, this is actually a "4-PLUS-1 quad-core architecture", as it includes a fifth low-power, battery-saver core that's used for "less strenuous tasks – like processing e-mail or operating in standby mode."
Other stuff the LG Optimus 4X HD has to offer: Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (with some LG customization, of course), 8MP rear camera with LED flash and 1080p video recording, 1.3MP front-facing camera, 16GB of internal memory, and a powerful 2,140 mAh battery. Despite the large battery, the new Optimus is really thin – only 8.9mm.
All in all, the 4X HD is really fast, but you won't notice any significant difference between it and a high-end dual-core smartphone, at least not in everyday use. In games, though, you probably will.
Weird enough (since LG prides itself to hold the highest number of LTE patents), the Optimus 4X HD that's showcased at MWC is not an LTE device. However, an LTE version of it is in development for the US market.
The LG Optimus 4X HD will be released in Europe first, sometime in the second quarter of the year (thus in June the latest). For now, there's no word on what North American carriers will release it, but I'd say Verizon and AT&T should be interested in doing so.
A quick video preview of the Optimus 4X HD can be seen in the video below:

DALLAS (SMU) - Caroline Young had eight kills and four aces, and Courtney Manning and Maddie Lozano added seven kills each to lead the Mustangs, but SMU fell 3-0 (25-20, 25-18, 25-17) to Auburn to conclude the SMU Doubletree Classic.
Manning hit.462 in the match, committing just one error in 13 attack attempts, and had a block, pushing her career total to 499. Avery Acker had a team-high 10 digs, playing libero for the last two sets, and fellow-freshman Abbey Bybel scored six kills with six digs and a block.
SMU led for most of the first set after breaking a 5-5 tie with a 10-6 run, holding the advantage until the Tigers tied the score 19-19. Once the momentum shifted, Auburn (9-1) didn't give it a chance to shift back. The Tigers completed the first-set comeback with a 25-20 win in the first set over the Mustangs (2-7).
Sarah Bullock, Chloe Rowand and Camila Jersonsky each had nine kills to lead the Tigers to the three-set victory, but it was on the defensive side of the court where Auburn gained its biggest advantage. The Tigers had 12.5 blocks, while the Mustangs recorded five.
The Mustangs compete in the Oklahoma Invitational Friday and Saturday in Norman, Okla. The first match is against Oklahoma Friday at 7 p.m.

When it comes to wall art, most bathrooms seem to feature some variation on a soothing nature scene - beaches, seashells, flowers, etc. We'd rather pay homage to all the time we stand in front of the mirror primping by hanging this Chanel Lipstick Print ($20) front and center. Got a lot of space to fill? Flank it with the equally pretty perfume and nail polish prints.

The OkanoganCounty electric Cooperative Board of Directors thinks they have finally settled on a rate structure and will host a meeting next week to present the plan to members.
The electric co-op has been working to tweak current rates due to a combination of member concerns over the existing billing system and an increase in the cost of wholesale power.
The board initially narrowed possible rate structure scenarios down to 4 before hosting a public meeting last month, and according to David Gottula (GUT-TOO-LA), General Manager for Okanogan County Electric Cooperative, has now modified an option they feel comfortable with, that will change how members are classified.
The upcoming meeting, set for Tuesday, March 20th, will offer members one more opportunity to voice their thoughts.
Again, that meeting will be held at 6PM on Tuesday, March 20th at the Winthrop Barn.
If you have any questions, you can call Okanogan County Electric Cooperative at 996-2228."CLICK HERE" for Audio"CLICK HERE" for Audio

UCLA Heads to Bay Area for Top 10 Matchups
The second-ranked UCLA women's soccer team (10-1-1 overall, 2-0-1 in the Pac-12) heads to the Bay Area for a big weekend of conference matchups against fellow Top 10 programs Stanford (9-1-1, 2-1-0; ranked No. 5 by the NSCAA) and California (9-0-3, 2-0-1; ranked No. 8 by the NSCAA). The Bruins play Stanford on Thursday, Oct. 10 at 7:30 pm and at California on Sunday, Oct. 13 at 11am. Both matches will be televised on Pac-12 Networks.
In the Rankings
UCLA moved up to No. 2 in the NSCAA, Soccer America and Top Drawer Soccer rankings. The Bruins have been ranked in the NSCAA's Top 5 all season.
Pac-12 Powers Collide Thursday
UCLA and Stanford have combined to win at least a share of the last 12 Pac-12 titles, with the Bruins taking top honors in 2001 and 2003-08. Stanford won the conference title in 2002 and 2009-12. Additionally, the last six Pac-12 Players of the Year have been either Bruin or Cardinal players.
Scouting the Cardinal
Stanford had a 44-match unbeaten streak and 73-match home-unbeaten streak broken on Sunday with a 1-0 loss to Arizona State. The Cardinal is led by forward Taylor Uhl, who has a Pac-12-leading 10 goals, and forward Courtney Verloo, who has six goals and five assists in 2013. Stanford is coached by Paul Ratcliffe, who has won Pac-12 Coach of the Year honors the last five seasons. Ratcliffe played at UCLA from 1989-92 and was a member of UCLA's 1990 NCAA Championship team.
The Bruins are 8-11-3 all-time against Stanford. UCLA's last win in the series came in 2008, 1-0 in Los Angeles, and the last win at Stanford came in 2007, 2-0.
Scouting the Golden Bears
With a 9-0-3 overall record, California is one of four teams in the nation that remain undefeated. The Golden Bears' 12-game unbeaten streak is their best since 2000. Ca leads the conference in points (75) and goals (27) and has three players who rank in the Top 10 in goals scored - No. 4 Ifeoma Onumonu (8), and No. 9 Kaitlyn Fitzpatrick and Samantha Witteman (6).
UCLA is 14-4-1 all-time against California and has an eight-match unbeaten streak against the Golden Bears. The Bruins won the last matchup, 3-0 in Los Angeles, on goals by Zakiya Bywaters, Sarah Killion and Crystal Shaffie. Cal's last win in the series came in 2004, 1-0 in double overtime in Los Angeles.
Last Time Out
UCLA earned its eighth shutout of the year but had to settle for a 0-0 tie with Washington on Monday night. The Bruins outshot the Huskies by a 24-4 margin and totaled 13 shots in the two overtime periods but were stymied by goalkeeper Megan Kufeld, who made eight saves, and victimized by the crossbar at the end of the first overtime period.
Fast Starts
Scoring early has been a trend for the Bruins in 2013. Eight of UCLA's 23 goals this year have come in the first 10 minutes of the game, including four in the first five minutes (Northeastern - 2:42, Cal State Northridge - 2:15, Marquette - 4:27, Arizona - 4:45). Meanwhile, California has not allowed an opponent to score a goal in the first half all season.
Follow the Leader
UCLA has trailed in just two games this season, for a total of 15 minutes. Marquette was the first team to grab a lead on the Bruins this year, scoring in the first minute, but the Bruins tied three and a half minutes later. North Carolina handed UCLA its only loss of the year, scoring the only goal of the game in the 79th minute.
Jenkins Leads Offense
Freshman Darian Jenkins has a goal in eight of the Bruins' 12 games and leads UCLA in scoring with eight goals, 17 points and four game-winning goals. She ranks tied for first in the Pac-12 in game-winning goals, fourth in goals scored and tied for seventh in points. Jenkins scored a goal in UCLA's first four games, which was the longest goal-scoring streak by a Bruin since Lauren Cheney scored in six consecutive games from Oct. 14-Nov. 4, 2007.
May We Assist You?
Taylor Smith and Sarah Killion are accounting for half of UCLA's 24 assists this year with a Pac-12 leading six each. Smith picked up two assists in the 3-0 win at LMU, and Killion had two in the 3-0 win vs. Cal State Northridge. Caprice Dydasco is also ranked in the Top 10 in the Pac-12 with four (tied for eighth).
Rowland Racking Up Shutouts
Junior goalkeeper Katelyn Rowland has been virtually unstoppable in 2013, allowing just four goals, one of which was on a penalty kick. Her goals against average of 0.38 (now 0.38) ranks fourth in the nation, and her .886 save percentage (now .892) ranks 11th. With 27 career shutouts, Rowland is third on UCLA's all-time list. She also ranks fourth on the career wins list with 40.

Eating Well: Avocado Edition
Dotty Griffith | Photo: Courtesy of Meso Maya | April 11, 2014
Not just for guacamole anymore, avocados may be the most super of all super foods. Banking on the benefits of healthy fats, high protein and fiber, chefs are creating dishes and drinks that resonate with nutrition-savvy diners.
1. Chiloso Mexican Bistro
The grilled avocado here is charred on the bottom for a satisfying crunch against a creamy interior that's filled with beef, chicken, pork, scrambled eggs or roasted vegetables. It's a gluten-free show-stopper with vegan possibilities in a fast-casual setting. 2455 Ridge Road, Rockwall, 972.722.8226; 901 W. FM 544, Suite 800, Wylie, 972.442.1710; 700 E. Campbell Road, Suite 190, Richardson. 972.231.3226
2. Fat Straws
The avocado smoothie is a simple blend of milk, avocado and a touch of brown sugar for a praline finish. For something dressier, add mixed berries or pineapple, and coconut milk is an option for the lactose averse. 5301 Alpha Road, The Galleria, Suite38, 972.702.8181; 6509 W. Park. Blvd., Suite425, Plano. 972.403.7403
3. Knife
Chef John Tesar says his signature avocado fries, popularized at his now shuttered burger joint, The Commissary, will be on the menu at Knife, his steak house that opens in the Hotel Palomar next month. If there's such a thing as healthy fries, these could be it. 5300 E. Mockingbird Lane, 214.520.7969
4. Komali Restaurant
Avocado ice cream made by Henry's Homemade Ice Cream is a fave at chef Abraham Salum's modern Mexico-influenced eatery. Avocado aficionados can also splurge on avocado pie: When available. 4152 Cole Ave. 214.252.0200
5. Meso Maya
Served on the rocks, the avocado margarita is a refreshing take on the traditional cocktail. Combining muddled avocado, fresh pineapple juice and top shelf tequila blanco, it yields a serious health benefit as well as buzz! 1611 McKinney Ave., 214.484.6555; 11909 Preston Road, Suite 1426, 469.726.4390

Today's recipe is Lidia's Artichoke Soup. Fresh artichokes meet up with potatoes and do a dance with leeks, shallots, garlic and wonderful seasonings to create a delicious soup. There's a bit of heat with pepper flakes and the dish is finished with a bit of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Healthy and joyous eating!
Lidia's Artichoke Soup (Recipe courtesy Lidia Bastianich)
- 5 medium artichokes
- Juice of one lemon
- ⅔ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1¾ pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 leeks, white and pale-green parts, sliced, washed well
- 3 shallots, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
- 6 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 fresh bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepperoncino flakes
- 4 quarts cold water
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
- Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano for serving
Clean and prepare the artichokes. (To clean artichokes, fill a bowl with approximately one quart of cold water and add the juice of one lemon, plus the squeezed-out lemon halves. Peel and trim the stem of the first artichoke. Pull off any tough outer leaves and discard. Using a paring knife, trim away any tough parts around the base and stem of the artichoke. With a serrated knife, cut off the top third of the artichoke and discard.) Put cleaned artichokes in a serving bowl and toss with the lemon juice.
Heat the olive oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes, and cook until they begin to stick to the bottom of the pot, about 5 minutes. Add the leeks and shallots, and cook until softened, about 10 minutes.
Sprinkle in the garlic, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepperoncini. Cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Add the prepped, drained artichokes, and bring the soup to a rapid simmering. Cook, uncovered, until potatoes and artichokes are tender and the potatoes have broken down to thicken the soup, about 1 ½ hours.
Stir in the chopped parsley, and serve the soup with grated cheese. Serving yield – 4 quarts.

Mamaí Theatre Company
By Tom Stoppard
Directed by Christine McBurney
Scenic Design by Don McBride
Costume Design by Jenniver Sparano
Lighting Design by Benjamin Gantose
Sound Design by Cyrus O. Taylor
July 17th - August 3rd 2014
7:30 p.m.
2:30 p.m.
With the co-production with Theater Ninjas "Stranded on Earth" wrapped up, Mamaí Theatre Company continues its 2014 season with Tom Stoppard's "Arcadia". The play will be directed by Co-Artistic Director, Christine McBurney.
Considered by many to be one of the finest plays ever written, "Arcadia" time shifts between the 19th and 20th centuries as it attempts to interpret the past through the eyes of the present. This theatrical journey will take you into such far flung subjects as math, sex, Byron and South Pacific botany just to name a few as the links are established between a mystery hermitage, a transitory tortoise and a brilliant young female mind from the past.
While the current members of the 20th century household try to unravel the mysteries of the former noted occupants, the former residents live their lives to their foregone conclusions proving or disproving the theories that the new residents have concocted. Although considered a comedy, it has its dark moments as the fates of those in the past are unveiled.
Director Christine McBurney says of Arcadia: "Everyone is in search of knowledge in Arcadia: mathematical, carnal, historical, you name it. What an absolute treat to work on this comedy of manners…this detective story…this love story…this intellectual and emotional roller coaster. Playwright Tom Stoppard challenges the actor, the director, and the audience, while also trusting us with this masterpiece. As we bask in his luxurious and complex characters, situations, language, and ideas, we are rewarded for our efforts. Some characters find what they are looking for. Some don't. No matter. As Hannah tells us, "it's the wanting to know that makes us matter."
The Cast includes: Christopher M. Bohan*, Scott Esposito, Amy Fritsche, Meghan Grover, Charles Hargrave, Khaki Hermann, Stuart Hoffman, Jason Kaufman*, James Lally, Joseph Milan, Michael Sharon and Valerie Young
(*Actor appears courtesy of Actors' Equity Association)
The play will run from July 17 to August 3, 2014, Thursdays-Saturdays, 7:30 p.m. and Sundays, 2:30 p.m. at the Pilgrim Congregational Church in Historic Tremont, 2592 West 14th Street, Cleveland, OH 44113 (The production space is Air Conditioned and ADA accessible.)

Some languages mark words according to whether they are masculine, feminine or neuter. In English, we do not commonly mark nouns according to gender.
However, we use pronouns and possessive determiners to show gender (for example, he, she, it, his, hers):
She's selling her house.
Some nouns which refer to living things can be marked for gender (e.g. actress, heroine). Some people may consider such words to be dated.
More commonly, words such as actor are used to refer to both male and female. Some nouns which used to end in -man are now neutral and are used to include both genders:
chair (preferred to chairman)
flight attendant (preferred to steward and stewardess)
spokesperson (preferred to spokesman)
The title Ms is preferred to Mrs (married woman) or Miss (unmarried woman) so that we cannot tell whether the woman is married or not.
We give some animals male and female words:
We can use the pronoun it to refer to very small children and babies when we speak generally about them, or when we do not know their gender. We also use it to refer to animals when they're not pets or when we don't know them personally:
The baby in the flat next door is always awake and it just never seems to stop crying.

Garmin is proud to sponsor the 2015 Burton US Open Snowboarding Championships and excited to show off the exciting new VIRB line of HD Action Cameras. We are in awe of what the amazing athletes at the Championships can achieve and are inspired by them and everyone who pushes the limits of what is possible, and what makes a good video.
That's why the VIRB line of HD Action Cameras is rugged and durable right out of the box, with longer battery life and better performance in extreme conditions. Editing your footage with the free VIRB Edit software allows you to grab data from the camera like GPS position, speed, barometer and altimeter and from compatible sensors (ex heart rate monitor) and then add overlays to your video as dials and gauges. You can even customize what those overlays look like. And, VIRB action cameras wirelessly connect to compatible Garmin devices so you can use them as remote controls or use their tracking and fitness features in your video.
Visit us in the Garmin booth at the Sponsor Village and check out the VIRB family of action cameras.
Paul Mitchell
Did you know Paul Mitchell is the longest-standing sponsor of the US Open? We are stoked to continue our partnership with Burton and, once again, be a part of one of the sickest snowboard events of the year. Some people might be scratching their domes thinking, "What does a haircare company have to do with a snowboard event?" Well, the connection is simple: Professional Stylists and Snowboarders are all about style, creativity and freedom of expression; they just work off different canvases.
Paul Mitchell will be at the Open, keeping the crowds entertained in their MITCH Mancave at Festival Village handing out free samples of fresh new products to help keep helmet head under control and style points up. It's going to be one big party, so come along for the ride because remember - style isn't born. It's groomed.

Track and field facilities are usually designed as multi-purpose facilities (tracks with playing fields inside).
This publication uses the IAAF Track and Field Manual 2003 Edition as its source of information. It is the IAAF's objective to create uniform criteria to provide fair and equitable competition and also to simplify principles of construction, surveying and certification of facilities. The IAAF website is www.iaaf.org.
Track events include sprint, middle distance, hurdle and steeplechase events. The 400m oval track forms the basis of a multi-sports arena and its dimensions are dependent on the requirements of other sports. Although there are a number of different layouts for the oval 400m track, this publication uses the IAAF's criteria as outlined in the IAAF Track and Field Manual 2003 Edition.
The competition area for track events includes:
There are three basic types of track surface — synthetic, unbound mineral (cinder) and grass.
The length of a standard running track is 400m (standard track). Orientation of the track should take into account the prevailing winds and sun angles. The 400m track consists of two parallel straights and two bends whose radii are equal. The area inside the track is large enough to accommodate all throwing events and also a standard soccer pitch (68m x 105m).
The 400m Standard Track (as outlined in the IAAF Track and Field Facilities Manual 2003 Edition) comprises two semi-circles, each with a radius of 36.50m, which are joined by two straights, each 84.39m long. The width of the track is a minimum of 72m and unless it is a grass track, the inside of the track is bordered by a kerb of suitable material, 5cm high and a minimum of 5cm wide. The inner edge of the track is 398.12m long (36.5m x 2 x π + 84.39m x 2) where π = 3.1416. This length for the inner edge gives a length of 400 metres (36.8m x 2 x π + 84.39m x 2) for the theoretical line of running (measurement line) at a distance of 0.30m from the kerb.
For a grass track without a kerb the inner edge is marked with lines 5cm wide.
The 400m standard track has eight, six or occasionally four lanes. The distance of the race is measured from the edge of the start line further from the finish to the edge of the finish line nearer to the start. The direction of running is anti-clockwise.
All lanes have a width of 1.22m ± 0.01 and marked by white lines 5cm wide. The line on the right hand of each lane, in the direction of running, is included in the measurement of the width of each lane. All start lines (except for the curved start lines) and the finish line are marked at right angles to the lane lines.
The essential requirement for all start lines ─ straight, narrow, staggered or curved ─ is that the distance for every athlete is the same. For races of 800m or less, each athlete will have a separate lane at the start. Races of up to, and including, 400m are run entirely in lanes. Races of 800m start and continue in lanes until the end of the first bend. The exit from the first bend is marked distinctively with a 5cm wide line across the track and is called the breakline. The breakline is marked at each end by a flag at least 1.5m high, positioned outside the track, 30cm from the nearest lane line. Races over 800m are run without lanes using a curved start line.
Immediately before the finish line, the lanes are marked with numbers a minimum height of 0.50m. All markings are 0.05m wide. All distances are measured in a clockwise direction from the edge of the finish line nearer to the start to the edge of the start line father from the finished.
The data for staggered starts for the 400m Standard Track (constant lane width of 1.22m) is shown on the next page. All track markings are in accordance with 'IAAF 400m Standard Track Marking Plan' as shown in the IAAF Track and Field Manual 2003 Edition.
The start of the 100m is run in the 'straight' that is integrated into the 400m oval track. It is measured from the edge of the finish line nearest to the start line backwards so the event is not run around a curve. The straight will incorporate a starting area of 3m minimum and a runout of 17m minimum.
The relays involve four runners per team, each member carrying a baton for 25 per cent of the total distance before passing it to the next team runner.
The relay marks for each changeover or take-over zone are provided for the 4 x 100m, 4 x 200m and
4 x 400m relays. The 4 x 200m relay is run in lanes for one lap plus the next bend so that runners can start running out of their lanes at the 800m breakline.
Lines 5cm wide are drawn across the track to mark distances of the stages and to denote the scratch line. Each take-over zone is 20m long of which the scratch line is the centre. The zones shall start and finish at the edge of the zone lines nearest the start line in the running direction.
For the 4 x 100m relay event, the first leg competitors start from the 400m staggered start positions. The first take-over marks are 100m in advance of each relevant 400m stagger. The second take-over marks are the prescribed 200m staggered starting positions. The third take-over marks are 100m from the finish line. At each stage the take-over zone is within two lines set out 10m either side of the actual take-over mark in each lane.
The scratch lines of the first take-over zones for the 4 x 400m (or the second zones for the 4 x 200m) are the same as the start line for the 800m. The take-over zones for the second and last take-overs (4 x 400m) are the 10m lines either side of the start/finish line.
In the 4 x 200m and the 4 x 400m relays, competitors run the first full lap in lanes. The second stage runners in the 4 x 400m relay and the third stage runners in the 200m relay remain in their respective lanes until they enter the back straight. The arc across the track at the entry to the back straight showing the positions at which the second stage runners (4 x 400m) and third stage (4 x 200m) are permitted to leave their respective lanes, is the same arc for the 800m event.
Where there are more than 12 competitors in a race, they may be divided into two groups with one group of approximately 65 per cent of competitors on the regular arced start line and the second group on a separate arced start line marked across the outer half of the track. The second group shall run as far as the end of the first bend on the outer half of the track.
The separate arced line is marked so that all competitors run the same distance.
All distances are measured in a clockwise direction from the edge of the finish line nearer to the start to the edge of the appropriate line farther from the finish. With the exception of Lane 1, all lanes are measured 20cm out from the outer edge of the inner line.

Steeplechase lap where the water jump is inside the 400m track
Hurdles is a race over a series of obstacles called hurdles. Runners must remain in assigned lanes throughout a race, and though they may knock hurdles down while running over them, they may do so only with a leg or foot, not a hand.
The standard 400m track, sprint track with 100m and 110m are used for hurdle races. Each hurdle is placed on the track so that the feet are on the side of the approach by the athlete. The hurdle is placed so that the edge of the bar nearest the approaching hurdler coincides with the track marking nearest the athlete (see table below).
The following are standard distances:
There are 10 flights of hurdles in each lane, set out in accordance with the following tables:
The start and finish is marked by a 50mm wide line at right angles to the inner edge of the track. The distance of a selected race is measured from the edge of the starting line further from the finish, to the edge of the finish line nearer to the start.
Steeplechase is a race over an obstacle course that includes water ditches, open ditches and fences.
The steeplechase track is integrated into the 400m standard track. The standard distances are 2000m (juniors) and 3000m. There are 18 hurdle jumps and five water jumps in the 2000m event and 28 hurdle jumps and seven water jumps in the 3000m event. There are five jumps in each lap after the finish line has been passed for the first time, with the water jump the fourth. The jumps are evenly distributed so that the distance between the jumps is approximately one-fifth of the nominal length of the lap.
The hurdles are 91.4cm high for men's events and 76.2cm for women's events (± 3cm both) and are at least 3.94m wide. The section of the top bar of the hurdles and the hurdle at the water jump is 12.7cm.
The water jump, including the hurdle, is 3.66m ± 2cm in length and the water pit 3.66m ± 2cm in width. The bottom of the water pit is a synthetic surface or matting, thick enough to ensure a safe landing and to allow for spikes to grip satisfactorily (maximum 20-25mm). At the start of a race, the water is level with the surface of the track within a margin of 2cm. The water depth closest to the hurdle is 70cm for approximately 30cm.
From there, the bottom has a uniform slope upwards to the level of the track at the farther end of the water pit. It is usual to locate the water jump on the outside of the track so that steeple hurdles do not have to be moved onto the track during the event.
Floodlighting of athletics venues is generally required to maximise the use of tracks and training areas. Where athletics facilities are to be used for non-televised activities, it is only necessary to provide a horizontal illuminance suitable for the required level of activity. An illuminance level of 100 lux is sufficient for an athletics training area. For club competition and regional events, 200 lux is sufficient and for national and international levels, 500 lux.
The information in this guide is general in nature and cannot be relied upon as professional advice concerning the design of, or marking out for, sporting facilities and playing areas. No assurance is given as to the accuracy of any information contained in this guide and readers should not rely on its accuracy. Readers should obtain their own independent and professional advice in relation to their proposed sporting activity.

On June 27th, Chef Rob's Upscale Lounge in Atlanta held a book launch party and signing for Trenell Harris, author of Silent Voices.
Trenell is a new author but no stranger to Atlanta. He has compiled a series of poems in his book that speaks about men, love and men in love. A product of Clark Atlanta University, his new work is open and honest in its nature considering there are few male authors who write about this subject in prose.
The event was small in attendance but powerful and satisfying in the presentation. Along with host Koereyella DuBose of The Single Wives Club and acoustic guitar music provided by Romiah Armstrong, the night was mentally stimulating.
A quick canvas of the audience gave positive but mixed reactions. Some women in attendance said they enjoyed the pieces he wrote and mentioned they didn't know a man could write like that. Some men in the audience said he was good but wanted to hear more.
I got a chance to sit down and speak with the Chicago native and he was open and honest. Trenell spoke about how the book came to be, his two kids reaction to him being a new author, how he became a self-proclaimed relationship expert and generally what's on the horizon.
The Interview:
With two more books coming out in 2015, Trenell Harris is a name you'll be hearing about, and more importantly reading in the soon coming future.
Coming attractions:
Each month at the High Museum starting on July 18, experiment with different everyday elements ranging from hard to soft. Come. Make Art. The Georgia BigPictureCon Film & Technology Conference is now accepting submissions for short films. This year's festival will be held on Oct 5 but the deadline for submissions is Friday, August 15. Funky Flair Boutique is having a Customer Appreciation Day July 19. Come shop and receive 20% off entire purchase from 12 - 4 in Marietta.

Windows Backup Software Review
What Can Windows Backup Software Do?
Backup software for Windows can back up all file types and even full systems, including software. Using secure backup files you can quickly restore files or using a disk image an entire system. Or if you want to move your data from an unsupported Windows XP machine to a new Windows 8 or 7 PC or laptop, this software can help you perform the transfer easily. The best Windows backup software also includes encryption methods for securing your files from corruption while maintaining your privacy.
For the purpose of this comparison we considered Windows backup solutions that are actual software rather than online services. We looked for those especially intended to back up Windows-based, personal-use PCs or laptops. Many of these software companies also offer server and business solutions, but for this review we compared home-use or introductory versions. However, we do mention in the review the advanced versions in case they would better satisfy your backup needs.
If you are looking for a backup solution for your Windows machines, you may want to consider Acronis. If you get the version most appropriate to your needs, this software can handle any backup scenario. You may also want to compare NovaBACKUP and EaseUS. To learn more about data backup, read our articles on Windows Backup Software.
Windows Backup Software: What to Look For
The first consideration when choosing a new backup solution is what type of backup tools you need and what kind of backup storage devices you plan to use. You will want to consider software that can back up all types of files and one that can back up to your preferred storage device, whether online, local or within the same system. If you are not familiar with backup technologies, you might want to consider one that offers helpful wizards. If you require advanced tools and configurations, you will want to look for a product with advanced features. If you need to manage sensitive data, look for backup software that includes security options.
Backup Features
To discover the software best capable of handling most backup scenarios, we compared backup tools, number of file types that can be backed up, and the compatible storage media. Top Windows backup software performs all types of backups, from simple file backup to disk imaging. They should also include backup wizards for quickly creating backup schedules, as well as advanced configuration tools for those who require them. Advanced backup tools include compression controls, resource usage throttling, and retention policy management. While most software can back up any file type, we still compared them to help you know which software will best fit your situation best. We also researched what type of backup storage devices are supported so you can select one that supports the type of storage you intend to use, whether online or on site.
Recovery Tools
The entire point of backing up your data is to be able to restore it when you need to. Facing a hardware failure, nasty malware attack or laptop theft is stressful enough on its own, so easy-to-use, quick restoration options are extremely welcome during your time of need. We looked for Windows backup software that includes restoration wizards for guiding you through the backup process and advanced restoration tools for managing complex restoration jobs. Another consideration is what kind of restoration it can process. Can it move data to a new system? To dissimilar hardware? If you are worried about a hardware failure and plan on upgrading to a new system soon, you will want to select one that can migrate your data for you.
Keeping your backup files fully intact and uncorrupted is necessary to ensure a successful restoration. The best backup software for Windows includes security technologies to help you secure backup files and images. Most backup software will, at the minimum, provide encryption for your files. Encrypted files, stored at a remote location, can only be opened using the original cipher that your backup software created. This technology keeps your data secure no matter where it is stored. Some backup software will also perform malware or antivirus scans on incoming files before they are downloaded. While the software cannot actually remove the malware, it can provide a warning so you don't unknowingly install a potentially dangerous file.
Help & Support
The best backup software companies have the resources available to provide satisfactory support to its paid customers. At the minimum, email support should be offered and the company should provide adequate support documentation. The best companies also keep backup software frequently updated and provide telephone technical support if needed.
Data loss is unavoidable without prevention. Someday your hardware will fail, your operating system will freeze up and refuse to boot, or your laptop or tablet will be lost or stolen. Or, you or someone who uses your computer may just accidentally delete critical files. Windows backup software can help you quickly create a dependable backup schedule so that you can gracefully mitigate your data-loss problem when it occurs. Our reviews can help you find the software that will best fit your specific backup needs.

BROWNSVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- A clerk and a suspected robber died in a shootout at a convenience store in the Pensacola suburb of Brownsville.
Escambia County Sheriff's officials say a man entered AC Grocery late Monday afternoon and attempted to rob it at gunpoint.
The clerk pulled out a gun during the robbery and shot the suspect. The man then fired at the clerk.
According to a sheriff's office release, the clerk died at the scene. The suspect ran from the scene but collapsed nearby and was taken to a hospital where he later died.
The names of the clerk and the suspect have not been released.

Dell unlocks its Streak
Free of O2
TIN BOX FLOGGER Dell is shipping its Streak tablet device direct to punters in a SIM-free, unlocked state.
The five-inch tablet that runs Google's Android operating system was launched by Dell earlier this month on the O2 network in the UK. It seems the operator's "exclusive" deal lasted all of three weeks, as Dell apparently decided to bypass O2 to get the Streak in the hands of punters. Dell is charging £450 to be free of an operator contract.
That sounds great, however the same unit can be had on O2's pay as you go tariff for £50 less and for free when signing 24 months of your life away. Nevertheless, Dell's insistance to sell the Streak direct to users is likely to mean that the firm is readying for a launch in the US.
With almost no attention being bestowed on its tablet that's also a phone, Dell must be hoping that its latest move will open the floodgates and that hordes of Apple fanbois disappointed at missing out on an Iphone 4 will decide to buy its oversized phone. That of course is unlikely.
The problem for Dell is that the Streak has nearly identical hardware specifications as Google's Nexus One or HTC's Desire, but with an unpocketable five-inch screen.
Consequently, Dell is yet to report any shortages of the Streak at this time. µ

Sellebrity: A Fantastic Doc About the Paparazzi
$ellebrity is a documentary about paparazzi culture and its origins. The movie was produced and directed Kevin Mazur who is himself a celebrity photographer.
Overall the movie is a fantastic effort that is slightly marred by some uneven moments. In one scene Mr. Mazur goes to an awkward length to show and tell us that he is not like the horrible stalking photographers that we've grown to hate. In other parts of the film the history of the paparazzi is woven into the story line in a slightly disjointed fashion which tends to be mildly distracting.
However, beyond the minor quibbles, the movie succeeds magnificently. Intelligent perspectives are offered by Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Sheryl Crow and Kid Rock who is wonderfully compelling with his commentary.
If you're going to have fun and see what's going on in the celebrity world, you can at least be a little more conscious of what's going on in the real world.

Actor Steve Buscemi to lead Rossmeyer Ride for Children
Published: Thursday, September 5, 2013 at 4:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, September 5, 2013 at 4:50 p.m.
Actor Steve Buscemi will be the grand marshal of the 19th Annual Bruce Rossmeyer Ride for Children, a charity event Oct. 6 that will benefit Camp Boggy Creek.
The camp in Eustis provides sports, outdoor and recreational facilities for children who suffer from chronic and-or life-threatening illnesses.
Buscemi is known for his current role in the HBO series "Boardwalk Empire," as well as such films as "Fargo," "Armageddon," "The Big Lebowski" and others.
The 50-mile ride begins at 10 a.m. Oct. 6 at Bruce Rossmeyer's Daytona Harley-Davidson at Destination Daytona, 1637 N. U.S. 1 (at the intersection of I-95 and U.S. 1). The ride will conclude at the camp.
The ride also is open to participants in cars, who will follow behind the police-escorted motorcyclists.
Minimum donation to participate is $50 per person and includes lunch provided by Outback Steakhouse. Riders can register online at rideforchildren.com. For more information, see the website or call 386-671-7103.
Past grand marshals have included Camp Boggy Creek co-founder Paul Newman and actors James Gandolfini and Edie Falco.
The annual ride has raised more than $4 million for the camp since it began in 1995. The camp has served more than 52,000 children since its founding.

Club Ride Wheel Cute Jersey Review
Submitted by Cheri Felix on
Club Ride rocks. I could stop there but I won't. That would be a very short review wouldn't it? I'll elaborate.
Club Ride continues to deliver great options for women's clothing. I have the Bandara jersey and every single time I wear it I think, "I just feel cool wearing this." It's like Club Ride knows how to design clothing that makes people like me feel sassy, kick ass and totally rad.
Club Ride sent me the Wheel Cute Jersey and again, it's a homerun. First let's run the facts. The jersey comes in S, M, L, XL and it comes in two colors; clover (think light brown) and denim (think blue). Both have a total kick butt design of subtle yet bold bicycle wheels. The material is so light and airy that I'm not kidding, I looked down to be sure I had a shirt on. I wore it on the bike, on the treadmill and in my bed. I LOVE it. The material for all you techies is made of Sheer2Dry™ wicking burnout fabric. To me and you this means it dries so fast you won't even realize you were sweating. And it's as light as a feather. There is also a handy hidden for your pleasure pocket; perhaps to hide a bit o cash or a key.
The Wheel Cute Jersey is a bonus for your closet. You can wear the jersey for yoga, biking, the gym and I'd wear it out at night when I've left the kids at home and I want to take my homeless/nutty professor/mom with no style look to another level. I too want to look cute. Wheel cute. (I had to go there) And if I've said this once I've said this a million times; there's nothing wrong with wanting your radness on the bike to be rivaled by your awesome clothing.
Club Ride does it right. Check them out.

Cecil Payne Chic Boom, Live At The Jazz Showcase
Delmark DE-529
During Cecil Payne's two years with Dizzy Gillespie he recorded solos on "Ow!" and "Stay On It" that cemented his reputation as bebop's first baritonist. On a 1948 session with James Moody and Chano Pozo, Cecil waxed the oft-recorded "Cu-Ba," kicking off a career as a composer of pungent melodies and protein-rich harmonic progressions whose logic masks a subtle, complex sensibility. On Chic Boom, Live At The Jazz Showcase Cecil Payne and his unit converse with a swinging simpatico. Cecil has also recorded with Tadd Dameron, Jimmy Smith, Kenny Dorham, James Moody, Coleman Hawkins, Illinois Jacquet and others. Chic Boom, Cecil's fourth Delmark album, was recorded live in Chicago just a few months ago in August with Eric Alexander, tenor sax; Jim Rotondi, trumpet; Harold Mabern, piano; John Webber, bass; Joe Farnsworth, drums. Also available: Cerupa (DE-478), Scotch and Milk (DE-494), Paynes Window (DE-509).

Lynn Haven - This week's Golden Apple award winner is the last one for this school year. Betsy Nelson teaches first grade at Lynn Haven Elementary School. She was nominated by the mother of one of her students who says she made an incredible difference in the life of her son.
Last year at this time, Angel wasn't reading. Now his mother says, she can't get him to stop. "Now he is reading books, reading the tv, all sorts of signs, he loves to read books all the time," said Evelyn Perez-Brown, who nominated Mrs. Nelson for the Golden Apple.
Angel has spina bifida and was behind academically, until this year, thanks in large part to Mrs. Nelson. "She has been a wonderful teacher," said Evelyn. "It's built up his self confidence and that is what I think is very important for him." "She is really nice to us," said Angel. "She is a bundle of energy and the kids pick up on her energy and they enjoy coming to school. Her children are always happy and cooperative because they know she cares about them," said assistant principal Susan Faircloth. "You don't day-to-day think about the difference you make in lives because you are doing your job everyday," said Betsy Nelson.
First grade is foundational to a child's academic career. Mrs. Nelson's first grade classes learn how to become strong students. "As much as the academics, we try to teach them to be responsible, and take responsibility for their learning," she said.
Congratulations to Betsy Nelson, this week's Golden Apple award winning teacher. "Mrs. Nelson is the best teacher in the world," said one of her students. "I think she is the best teacher ever," said another. "I want them to love school as much as I do. That is a huge part of doing well in school, is that you just love it," said Mrs. Nelson.

There are numerous companies in the industry, and their names change like the weather. The information above is not particular about the finer details. Acquisitions are common, so companies with no recent listings may still be developing games under a new name. For example, DMA Design currently has a Rockstar name.

APS-15 Radar
The radar operator's position in the B-17. The AN/APS-15 radar depicted here featured a large rotating dish housed on the underside of the aircraft inside a non-metallic "radome" that protected it while in flight. The map discussed here would have been laid out on the table in front of the cathode ray tube scope that "painted" a picture of the terrain around the aircraft at distances greater than 50 miles.

Upper School musical "Pippin" takes center stage
Feb 25, 2013
The Haverford School Upper School Drama and Music Departments present "Pippin" March 8 and 9 in Centennial Hall.
Once upon a time, a young prince (Haverford School junior Jake Cohen) longed to discover the secret of true happiness and fulfillment. He sought it in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations of the flesh, and the intrigues of political power (after disposing of his father King Charlemagne the Great – Haverford School senior Tyler Brooks). In the end, he found it in the simple pleasures of home and family.
Pippin is a hip, tongue-in-cheek, anachronistic fairytale that captivated Broadway audiences and continues to appeal to the young-at-heart everywhere. The energetic pop-influenced score by three-time Oscar-winning composer/lyricist Stephen Schwartz bursts with one show-stopping number after another, from soaring ballads to infectious dance numbers. The 68-member cast featured drama students from The Agnes Irwin School, The Baldwin School, Downingtown West High School, Lower Merion High School, Merion Mercy Academy, and The Haverford School.
