Customer questions about this product
- How can I properly care for cast iron surfaces?
- In order to prevent unwanted build-up of oils, grease, and food, surfaces should be cleaned after use while still slightly warm. Harsh chemicals or scouring pads should not be used—only hot water and a cloth or sponge are needed. If some areas require extra cleaning, a mild scouring pad can be used. Please refer to our Pan Seasoning Guide for further information on properly cleaning and seasoning cast iron surfaces.

…even though they have shoppers' information such as their names and locations.
While many marketers are collecting consumers' personal information such as their name, location and birthday, most—70%—are not using that information to personalize their e-mails, according to a new report from e-mail services provider Experian CheetahMail.
That's a missed opportunity because information such as a consumer's gender (collected by 19% of marketers) or birthday (collected by 34%) can be used to send more targeted, relevant messages to e-mail subscribers, the report says.
"Your customers are offering you access to this personal information and expect you to use it to market to them as an individual," the report says.
Marketers also have to pay heed to the changing ways that consumers are reading e-mails. 44% of e-mails are opened on mobile devices, which means marketers should take a mobile-friendly approach to e-mails by reducing the overall width of their e-mails to 560 to 580 pixels wide; increase the point size of all copy to at least 14 to 16 points; and space out calls to action so that they are at least 40 pixels apart.
The report suggests that marketers should regularly test their messages because small tweaks can produce significant results. For instance, when its clients have tested the impact of including symbols, such as hearts or stars, in an e-mail subject line, they've boosted their open rates up to 15%. Similarly, words such as "Pinterest," "Pin us" or "Pin it" in subject lines have generated open rates that are 11% higher than their other messages and click-through rates 25% higher.
Despite Pinterest's lure, only 32% of marketers display or promote their presence on the social network in their e-mails. That lags behind Facebook (highlighted by 98%), Twitter (91%) and YouTube (45%).
The report is based on an online Experian survey of 146 of its marketing clients.
Retailers and consumer packaged goods brands have an unprecedented opportunity to work together, particularly if ...

Today's Night & Day featured event: Girls Rock! (Are you ready, Denver?)
The film Girls Rock! is strictly a girl thing, and by that I mean a little girl thing. The visual story of the original Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls in Portland, it aims straight between the eyes of any rebel tween or teen girl with an itch to be a rock star. Oh yes, and it's fascinating for their parents, too, who might be charmed, knowingly unsurprised, amused beyond belief or terrified to death by what unfolds on the screen.
We first wrote about it last spring in this Night & Day entry, but as the story unfolds, it's worth mentioning again, and here's why: The all-girl camp, which is spreading across the nation on the strength of the film's message, is also coming to Denver next summer. It will arrive in conjunction with the local Colorado Nonprofit Development Center and the Girls Rock Camp Alliance, a group that's also sponsoring an ambitious 50 Shows in 50 States national fundraiser this month.
In Denver, the GR benefit events begin tonight at 7 p.m. with a film screening and live music by Jen Korte at Hooked on Colfax, 3215 E. Colfax Avenue; on Sunday, December 14, Korte, along with Robyn Assmunstad, Kate Wirsing and Molly Cherington, will perform for a 21+ crowd at the Meadowlark, 2701 Larimer Street. Admission on either evening is $6. For fundraiser details go to the GRCA website or visit Girls Rock Denver for the latest on the local camp. -- Susan Froyd

A horrendous crime sets off a disturbing chain of events that will force the citizens of Mollisan Town to debate profound issues of free will and destiny in this powerful tale from the internationally acclaimed Tim Davys.
In the Tourquai neighborhood of Mollisan Town, Superintendent Larry Bloodhound is the keeper of the peace and ruler of the streets. But there are others more powerful than he—a cadre of wealthy elite, including Oswald Vulture, who live above the law's reach.
When Vulture is found headless in his ornate office atop Mollisan Town's most exclusive building, Bloodhound knows he must take special care in the investigation. But with the head missing and no sign of a break-in or murder weapon, this just may be the perfect crime.
The search for answers leads Bloodhound and his team, Anna Lynx and Falcon Ècu—along with his closest friend, private detective Philip Mouse—deep into the exclusive, secretive world of Mollisan Town's most privileged. Who had the most to gain from Vulture's demise? His slithery and sexy secretary, Emanuelle Cobra? Or his seductive mistress, Jasmine Squirrel? And what about Igor Panda, a desperate gambler whose debts may have pushed him to do the unthinkable? But before he can find the truth, Bloodhound must face his own weaknesses.
As he did in Amberville and Lanceheim, Tim Davys weaves an intricate plot around larger questions of human nature, exploring issues of fate, loyalty, good, and evil. As Bloodhound uncovers the secrets behind the world of stuffed animals, so, too, does Davys reveal greater truths about the world of humans.
"Weird? Obviously. . . . Theres more than stuffing here, though, including questions of good vs. evil, life vs. death, and sanity vs. insanity. Skip that evening Scotch and read this one stone-cold sober—its plenty trippy as is." —Washington Post on Amberville
A horrific crime sets off a disturbing chain of events in Tim Davys Mollisan Town. Like George Orwells Animal Farm, as well as the allegorical worlds of Neil Gaiman and Jasper Fforde, this sinister sequel to Lanceheim and Amberville illuminates our reality through a giddy paradoxical conceit—as in Tourquai, the stuffed animals who populate Mollisan Town will be forced to confront the deepest issues of love and servitude, free will and destiny, life and death.

The whistle deformity is one of the common sequelae of secondary cleft lip deformities. Santos reported using a crossed-denuded flap for primary cleft lip repair to prevent a vermilion notching. The authors modified this technique to correct the whistle deformity, calling their version the cross-muscle flap.
From May 2005 to January 2011, 14 secondary unilateral cleft lip patients were treated. All suffered from a whistle deformity, which is characterized by the deficiency of the central tubercle, notching in the upper lip, and bulging on the lateral segment. The mean age of the patients was 13.8 years and the mean follow-up period was 21.8 weeks. After elevation from the lateral vermilion and medial tubercle, two muscle flaps were crossed and turned over. The authors measured the three vertical heights and compared the two height ratios before and after surgery for evaluation of the postoperative results.
None of the patients had any notable complications and the whistle deformity was corrected in all cases. The vertical height ratios at the midline on the upper lip and the affected Cupid's bow point were increased (P<0.05). The motion of the upper lip was acceptable.
A cross muscle flap is simple and it leaves a minimal scar on the lip. We were able to reconstruct the whistle deformity in secondary unilateral cleft lip patients with a single state procedure using a cross-muscle flap.
Patients with congenital cleft lip are susceptible to a variety of deformities depending on the severity of the cleft lip, surgical techniques used previously, and the process of healing and growth pattern following the primary cheiloplasty. A whistle deformity, one of the various types of lip deformities, is defined as central vermilion notching due to complex causes. It appears that the lip is shaped as if the person were blowing a whistle. Various methods have been introduced to correct a whistle deformity. Guerrero-Santos et al. [1] in 1971 reported a crossed-denuded flap to prevent vermilion notching, tissue defects of the vermilion tubercle, and asymmetry in the lateral segments in primary cheiloplasty. We modified the surgical methods based on a crossed-denuded flap. Our modified method involves crossing dissected orbicularis oris muscles at the vermilion notching area. We report our surgical methods and outcomes with a review of the literature.
Among all of the patients with secondary cleft lip who visited the author's hospital from May of 2005 to January of 2011, 14 patients were included in the study (Table 1). These patients presented with the typical findings of whistle deformity, such as the notching of the upper lip, volume deficiency at the upper vermilion, and the bulging on the lateral lip segment. Our clinical cases of patients were composed of 11 men and 3 women. There were 4 cases of incomplete type of cleft lip and 10 cases of complete type. The mean age of patients at the time of surgery was 13.8 years old, and the age range was 4-41 years old. And mean follow-up period was 21.8 weeks, and the follow-up period range was 4 weeks-24 months. The operation was carried out with 11 patients under general anesthesia, and 3 patients under local anesthesia. Philtral ridge reconstructions on 3 patients (case 3, 5, and 14) and iliac bone grafts at the alveolar cleft on 3 patients (case 4, 10, and 12) were performed at the same time. In addition, nasal revision operations including M-plasty for nostrildeformity (case 2), corrective rhinoplasty (case 7), and tip rhinoplasty with nostril plasty (case 14) were performed at the same time.
The authors compared the shape of the upper lip by means of preoperative and postoperative photographs [2-5]. The patient was seated in the chair placed 0.3 m in front of a background. The patient was asked to look forward at a comfortable angle. The patient's face was relaxed completely, and all of the patients were photographed by one plastic surgeon. The patients were also photographed while smiling and blowing a whistle postoperatively. The camera (Cannon EOS 450D, Canon Inc., Tokyo, Japan) with a Sigma DC 17-70 mm, 1:2.3 lens (Sigma, Kawasaki, Japan) was placed approximately 1 m in front of the patient. The authors measured the vertical height in three locations: from the white roll to the inferior free margin at the non-affected Cupid's bow point (a), the midline on the upper lip (b), and the affected Cupid's bow point (c) in unilateral cleft lip (Fig. 1). Because the author's study is retrospective, the absolute value of the vertical height could not be measured, so two height ratios (b/a, c/a) were calculated to compare the relative changes of vermilion volume before and after surgery through photogrammetry. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS ver.16.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). The Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to evaluate the results. A P-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Before infiltration of local anesthesia, we designed the muscle flap on the lateral lip portion on the affected side depending on the severity and volume of the tissue deficiency. After local infiltration with 1% lidocaine and 1:100,000 epinephrine, an incision was made along the previous scar line. The scar was excised. On the lateral vermilion area, sharp dissection was performed between the orbicularis oris muscle and mucosa from the medial end to 1.5 cm laterally. We then created the muscle flap at the lower 1/2 of the orbicularis oris muscle. On the medial tubercle area, we also dissected between the muscle and mucosa until the midpoint of the Cupid's bow of the central vermilion in which volume deficiency has been noted, and generated the muscle flap of the lower 1/2 of the orbicularis oris muscle in the medial tubercle. Then both lower half muscle flaps were crossed and turned over. These flaps were then fixed by 4-0 chromic catgut to each other. If the lip mucosa was left, the residual mucosa was excised minimally. At first, the medial muscle flap was fixed at 5 mm laterally on the lateral orbicularis oris muscle. The lateral muscle flap was also fixed by chromic 4-0 at the point of the medial margin on the central tubercle (Fig. 2).
In all of the patients, there were no notable complications such as hematoma, infection, or a partial or total loss of the flaps. One patient showed a drooping upper lip; therefore, revision was performed one year after the operation (case 5). The preoperative and postoperative vertical height of the three points (a, b, c) were measured, and two vertical height ratios (b/a, c/a) were calculated (Table 2). Postoperatively, increases in the vertical height at midline on the upper lip and affected Cupid's bow point were observed (P<0.05) (Table 3). Furthermore, all of the patients showed good movement and a well-formed upper lip shape when they smiled or blew a whistle.
A 12-year-old boy presented with lateral bulging of the vermilion, slight volume deficiency of the central vermilion, and a notching deformity on the affected side. The patient had primary surgical scars and an asymmetric nostril. Under general anesthesia, the patient underwent a vermilioplasty using a cross-muscle flap. At the same time, M-plasty was performed on the left nostril for left nostril deformity and a nevus excision and a skin graft were performed. At postoperative 8 weeks, the upper lip notching had disappeared. At postoperative 16 months, the volume deficiency of the upper vermilion and bulging deformity of the lateral vermilion had improved (Fig. 3).
A 14-year-old boy presented with whistle deformity. The patient had a Cupid's bow peak elevation, and had vertical scars extending from the nasal base to the vermilion. Under general anesthesia, the patient underwent a vermilioplasty using a cross-muscle flap and an iliac bone graft for the alveolar cleft. At postoperative 4 weeks, the patient underwent a restoration of the notching and a linear scar was left on the vermilion. At postoperative 16 months, the functional and cosmetic outcomes had improved (Fig. 4).
Cleft lip patients have a variety of secondary deformities after primary cheiloplasty. Whistle deformity, one of these secondary deformities, is common and usually requires surgical correction. Henkel et al. [6] reported the following secondary revision rate: the incidence of secondary surgery for cleft lip patients was about 35%. Among all of the surgical correction cases, the lip was corrected in about 58%, and the nostril and columella in about 30%. About 29% of the cases underwent revision for whistle deformity of the lip. The causative factors of whistle deformity include tissue deficiency in the central tubercle area and mal-alignment of the muscles. There are various methods for correcting the whistle deformity, which can be mainly divided into three categories depending on the types of tissue for the correction of deformitiesn [3,7,8].
First, if the vermilion deficiency is mild, the upper lip itself can be used for reconstruction, such as Z-plasty, V-Y advancement, double pendulum flaps, bilateral lateral vermilion border transposition flaps, and bilobed mucosal flaps. Z-plasty and V-Y advancement are performed both the most frequently and easily. However, these methods are restricted to cases of small lesions. Kapetansky [9] reported double pendulum flaps for augmentation of the central defect. Juri et al. [10] developed the bilateral mucomuscular flaps to fill up the insufficient central tubercle in the Kapetansky technique. Matsuo et al. [11] developed bilateral lateral vermilion border transposition flapsn. This method can reduce the tension of the upper lips and deepen the labiogingival sulcus. However, the use of this method can impair the continuity of the orbicularis oris muscle because this flap contains only a thin layer of orbicularis oris muscle. In addition, a bilobed mucosal flap has some disadvantages in that there is a slight difference in the color between the dry and wet mucosa and the technique leaves additional scars in the vermilion [3].
Secondly, if a defect in the vermilion is moderate or severe, the adjacent tissue, including the tongue and lower lip, can be used. Guerrero-Santos [12] used two types of tongue flap for the reconstruction of the upper lip. However, these methods cause the discomfort to the patient of spending approximately three weeks with the tongue flap retained between the lips, and the patients must undergo secondary surgery. Furthermore, a postoperative mismatch in the texture and color remained. The Abbe flap is one of the good methods for treating the upper lip when the defect is severe [13,14]. This technique also needs two stage surgery and leaves a donor site deformity on the lower lip as well as a mismatch in the texture and color on the upper lip.
Finally, autograft or allograft material for reconstruction can be used. Patel and Hall [7] used dermal fat grafting to correct a whistle deformity although it has been conventionally used to correct a facial contour or nose deformity. Trussler et al. [2] reported upper lip augmentation using the palmaris longus tendon. Niechajev [15] also reported lip enhancement using various alternatives including implants, autologous fat graft, and dermofat graft. Dermofat and autologous fat graft methods are simple and easy techniques, but these were less reliable because it is difficult to predict the degree of absorption and patients are at increased risk of developing an infection [16,17]. Wakami et al. [17] used the mucosal flap concomitantly with artificial dermis. As described here, there are various surgical methods depending on the size of defects and the clinical characteristics of patients, each of which has its own benefits and drawbacks.
The authors have speculated that the mucosa or other tissues, except muscle, are less reliable and not firm enough for reconstructing a defect. In whistle deformity in secondary unilateral cleft lip, the method of using orbicularis oris muscle flaps on the lateral portion and medial tubercle portion was planned. The characteristics of the author's cases in secondary unilateral cleft lip are volume deficiency in half of the central vermilion notching, and lateral bulging. For solving these problems, we modified a crossed-denuded flap that Guerreo-Santos et al. used for the primary surgery of cleft lip in order to prevent the vermilion notching [1]. After excision of a previous scar on the vermilion notching area, we dissected half of the muscle on the medial and lateral vermilion. Dissected bulged orbicularis oris muscle on the affected side and medial orbicularis oris muscle were crossed and turned over for the reconstruction of the defective central tubercle. In cases that had vermilion notching with a lateral bulging segment on the affected side, we could lessen the lateral bulging segment on the affected side and augment the half area of the defective central tubercle and correct the lip notching deformity at the same time. After judging the direction of the vermilion notching, the orbicularis oris muscle flap was created according to the location of the notching. If the vermilion notching was situated at the antero-posterior portion, the authors produced both muscle flaps in the anteroposterior portion. This means that the position of the muscle flap was dependent on the location of the vermilion notching. This point is different from the method reported by Cho and Kim [18], in which vertical interdigitation of the orbicularis oris muscle flap was used to reconstruct a depressed philtralcolumn. Additionally, in cases of philtral reconstruction, the present authors have been using a buried deepithelized scar to add projection to the philtral column in a roll-over muscle flap from the central vermilion [19]. The surgical techniques of our cross-muscle flap can be easily performed and the correction can be achieved with a one-time procedure. The additional scars can be avoided by cutting through the previous vermilion scar incision. In addition, the orbicularis oris muscle plays a primary role in generating facial expressions [20]. Our methods can realign the orbicularis oris muscle and obtain an adequate volume of tissue and thereby restore the continuity of the orbicularis oris muscle. This method eventually contributed to achieving muscle rearrangement as well as symmetry on the upper lip. Thus, satisfactory outcomes from both functional and aesthetic perspectives could be obtained.
In conclusion, the authors' cross-muscle flap can correct the whistle deformity, which isa defect of volume in the affected central tubercle, vermilion notching, and lateral bulging. It uses partial orbicularis oris muscle flaps from the lateral bulging segment and medial tubercle area in cases of secondary unilateral cleft lip. It is an easy and effective method and leaves minimal scars and fewer complications. Furthermore, this is one-time procedure and does not create additional scarring on theupper or lower lip. A cross-muscle flap is a reliable option worth considering for reconstruction of whistle deformity.

The specialized conduction tissue network mediates coordinated propagation of electrical activity through the adult vertebrate heart. Following activation of the atria, the activation wave is slowed down in the atrioventricular canal or node, then spreads rapidly into the left and right ventricles via the His-Purkinje system (HPS). This results in the ventricle being activated from the apex toward the base and is thought to represent HPS function. The development of mature HPS function in embryogenesis follows significant phases of cardiac morphogenesis. Initially, cardiac impulse propagates in a slow, linear, and isotropic fashion from the sinus venosus at the most caudal portion of the tubular heart. Although the speed of impulse propagation gradually increases, ventricular activation in the looped heart still follows the direction of blood flow. Eventually, the immature base-to-apex sequence of ventricular activation undergoes an apparent reversal, maturing to apex-to-base pattern. The embryonic chick heart has been studied intensively by both electrophysiological and morphological techniques, and the morphology of its conduction system (which is similar to mammals) is well characterized. One interesting but seldom studied feature is the anterior septal branch (ASB), which came sharply to focus (together with the rest of the ventricular conduction system) in our birthdating studies. Using an optical mapping approach, we show that ASB serves to activate ventricular surface between stages 16 and 25, predating the functionality of the His bundle/bundle branches. Heart morphogenesis and conduction system formation are thus linked, and studying the abnormal activation patterns could further our understanding of pathogenesis of congenital heart disease. © 2004 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

I'm thinking 30-33" haven't quite decided yet.
Thanks for the input guys, I appreciate it
I'm looking at purchasing new tires for my 06 TJ, I need something that'll be just as good on pavement as they'll be in 6-8 inches of fresh snow and ice. Up until recently I was set on the Goodyear...
Can this be done on a TJ too?
Haha jeez, not jealous of that situation
Fair enough, but I've had this one for years and she's served me well. It's smart to be cautious though
Normally I'd agree with you, but the Shure style one that I've posted I've carried with me for 2 anda half years now and it's been through quite a bit and has NEVER let me down, I'll vouch for it
(I stole the first pic from an earlier post, I apologize) but I favour the Nitto style lanyard in that picture and the Shure style that I currently use.
AMEN. finally someone understands what I've been trying to say!!
This is a good guy right here^^^
Those are kinda cool though I'd still prefer a proper lanyard
Hmm you guys certainly like your lights. Sorry I didn't respond earlier, I was in Mexico for the past week and just got back tonight. So it looks like I got a few choices
Hmmmm for me it's almost like twice the price compared to Rancho 7000's though
How do you like them? And when I called Rancho to ask what part # they'd recommend for a 2" lift they said unless I'm buying one of their kits they can really guarantee the shocks will work properly,...
All 8 arms?
Yea I'm hearing this a lot I just don't know why? I know it realigns the geometry that gets altered when do a lift but will 2 inches make that much difference?
Hahaha I'm just planning on going to my local scrap yard and getting some 7" conversions for cheap and throwing some Sylvania ZXE's in them
Hmmm. Haha so it's basically what I want to buy? No real ups or downs? I was looking more seriously at the 100w Apollo driving beams. Opinions?
So Im looking into getting some exterior lighting for my jeep, mostly in a driving pattern and Ive been kind of leaning towards KC because my dad knows a guy who can get them at a pretty good price. ...
I'll look into it. Thanks
Great thanks
Is it pretty much the same process for TJ's?
Awesome thanks. And for the rubber boot for the clutch, did jeeps come standard with those or do I have to buy one aftermarket?
Where would I find this tranny breather tube? And how would I extend it? Also is there breather tubes for the axles?
Hmmm that's good. I'm thinking I'm going to go for 2" BDS coils, Rancho 7000 shocks, JKS quick disco sbl and a JKS track bar
So Im looking into getting a 3" BDS suspenion lift for my 06 TJ. The difference in part options available between the 2" and 3" I find kind of troubling so Im looking for a little guidance. I...

Auburn at SEC Media Days
Monday July 11th, 2016 the Auburn contingent for SEC Media Days had their time on the podium. Head coach Gus Malzahn brought along Marcus Davis, Montravius Adams, and Carl Lawson
It is a well known fact that I am an optimistic Auburn fan. That being the case, as I listened to the answers from Carl Lawson, and Montravius Adams as they were interviewed, there was sense a confidence I haven't seen in quite some time from Auburn's defensive personnel.
Here are all 4 of the Tigers main media session videos. Thanks to AL.com for the videos.
War Eagle!

Pro Golfers Are Not Liars
Yesterday on June 19th, 2016 the U.S.G.A. made a ruling that forever changes the game of golf. In essence, the ruling body of golf called Dustin Johnson a liar.
Here is the rule as it currently is written:
" On the other hand, if the Committee determines, based on all of the evidence it has available, that the ball changed its position by an amount that was reasonably discernible to the naked eye at the time, the ball is deemed to have moved. As the player did not replace the ball, he incurs a penalty under the applicable Rule and Rule 20-7c for playing from a wrong place."
In the past, the golfer in question, has relied on another player, or an official to help decide the correct course of action. The golfer whose ball it is, has the responsibility to accurately portray the events to his playing partner(s) or a rules official, and then the determination can be made whether a penalty has occurred.
Not any more. It seems the U.S.G.A. has called into question the character and integrity of all professionals in the sport they claim they are the guardians of.
"These principles apply to any review of technological evidence by the Committee, whether before the player makes his next stroke or any time thereafter. These principles also apply in a situation in which the player made no determination whether or not his ball at rest moved (e.g., because he had walked away from his ball after addressing it, was not looking at his ball, or otherwise did not observe any motion of the ball or have any reason to believe that his ball might have moved).
Before determining whether his ball has moved, it is advisable for the player to obtain information from nearby witnesses to the incident and to seek guidance from a referee if one is immediately available. (Revised)"
In this case the rule needs changing, and the player, any witnesses, and the organization officials on the scene should be the determining body, not some committee that is limited by what they see on a screen in an air conditioned building off of the course.
Get this right U.S.G.A.! Change the wording of the rule, and put the trust back where it belongs in golf, back in the hands of the professionals.

Softball Season Highlights
The Auburn Softball season is now over after a 2-1 loss to Oklahoma last night. Makayla Martin pitched a gem of a game and only 2 Oklahoma runs crossed the plate and they were unearned.
That game could have gone either way and Oklahoma was able to get a few more breaks to take the ring. Clint Myers told the Auburn team when he arrived 3 years ago that he intended to take them to the World Series and now Auburn has been twice.
It has been a pleasure to report on Auburn Softball this season and the ladies have represented Auburn University well. Here are some of the highlights in my playbook.
1) Rachel Walters pitching a no hitter against Samford. She almost pitched a perfect game that evening, but did issue a walk.
After the walk, she retired 15 straight batters
that walk. Also, I might add that Jade Rhodes hit a grand slam in that game, Kasey Cooper was 2 for 2 with 4 RBIs, and Tiffany Howard had 3 hits and two RBIs. If you wanted to see the Auburn hitters at work, this was the game to watch.
2) The Auburn/UGA 3 game series in the regular season. Auburn was down by 2 runs in the first game of this 3 game series and Kasey Kooper hit a walk off 3 run home run in the bottom of the 7th inning with two outs. and Auburn won the game 4-3.
3) The 2016 SEC tournament in Starkville, MS. Auburn beat Alabama 6-4 and Makayla Martin pitched a great game. Clint Myers stated that "she was an ice queen out there." Auburn went on to upset the number 1 Florida Gators 2-1. Carlee Wallace hit a 2 run home run and
Kaylee Carlson put in a solid pitching performance. Auburn played LSU for the SEC Championship and came out with a dominating 7-1 win. The Tiffany Howard 2 run home run was the highlight of this game for me.
4)The Super Regional at Auburn's field against Arizona. I did attend the double header on Sunday. Auburn won the first game of the day 4-1 and the second game 6-1. The highlight for me was the Haley Fagan home run that hit near our seating area in left field.
5) The "historic" Women's College Softball World Series. Auburn began their quest for the "ring" on June 2. Auburn played UCLA in the first game and 4 batters were hit by pitches during the first inning and I will call this the "hit by a pitch" game. Auburn scored 5 runs in the first inning and won the game 10-3 and they were in the winner's bracket.
On June 4th, Auburn played UGA. Once again, Auburn came from behind in the 7th inning and won the game 4-3. Kasey Cooper and Emily Carosone drove in an RBI and Jade Rhodes hit a fielder's choice that gave Auburn the lead.
On June 5th, Auburn played FSU once again. FSU would have to defeat Auburn twice to play in the finals of the World Series. Once again, Auburn won this game in a dramatic 8-7 win. Victoria Draper made a diving catch in this game that I viewed later on ESPN. I really think that the catch may have given Auburn the momentum to win the game. The 8th inning started with a single by Madi Gipson to left field that was booted. The error allowed Madi to reach 3rd base. Morgan Podany went in as a pinch runner and scored on a fielder's choice by Whitney Jordan. In this game, Kasey Cooper set a school home run record that she shared with Jade Rhodes. She hit her 20th home run of the season. Also, the home run tied Emily Carosone's RBI total of 80 that was set in 2015.
Auburn would now face Oklahoma on June 6th for the World Series Championship. Oklahoma won the first game 3-2 and the big win came on Tuesday night when Auburn won the game 11-7 with a walk-off grand slam home run by Emily Carosone. Oklahoma led thos game 7-0 by the 2nd inning. This comeback set a record for the Women's College World Series as the biggest comeback in the history of the World Series. Kasey Cooper did break the Auburn RBI record in this game. Also, Tiffany Howard made the catch of the season by reaching over the left field wall and catching a sure 2 run home run by timing her leap perfectly.
6) Playing for "Turtle". Kelsey Bogaards had just returned to the line up after rehabbing her knee and blew out her other knee in her comeback. The Auburn team rallied around Kelsey and wore the green ribbons in their hair for the remainder of this season.
The pain of this loss still lingers for me: however, Auburn had their best season in school history with a 58-12 record. Auburn won their second straight SEC Championship and their first time in the "ring" game of the College World Series. As I have said before, Clint Myers has done wonders for this Auburn Softball program and I am already looking forward to next season. I am hoping that some of this magic will transfer to the football team.
Go out and watch this team play next season. There will be some tune up games in the Fall and we can all watch the new recruits play.
War Eagle and Thank you for memories.

Thank you, Softball Seniors.
So....Auburn softball seniors. Where do I start? You all have changed this for future generations.
I know you girls are disappointed. I know that you wanted one more inning. Let me tell you something. You have CHANGED the game at Auburn. You have changed college softball in the state of Alabama. It's no secret that I spend half my weekends at tournaments. I played ball til the end of high school. There was not really college softball in the south when I went to college. You fought for all of us who did not get the chance to play at the level you did. You played for all of those who will come after you. You played for AUBURN. You were amazingly fun to watch. Really, it's more than that- you have been APPOINTMENT TV (unless we were at our own games). Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the hours of work, sweat, tears, and dedication. I wish I could do more or say more but this is the best I can do.
The least I can do is thank the seniors individually.
Tiffany Howard- My Ella- her number is also number 1. She has watched you every time Auburn was on tv when she wasn't playing herself. I cannot tell you how much your persistence and hard work have shown her. There is only so much that we can teach her and show her but what she has learned watching you has been amazing. Thank you for everything you have done for Auburn. You all have set a foundation in place for Auburn softball that is going to make a difference. It already has made a difference. Also thanks for your dedication in the classroom as well as on the field.
Emily Carosone- You helped to make a change in Auburn that won't ever be able to be compared. You helped to lead this team and this senior class to make a difference . I cannot say thank you enough for the hard work and dedication. I know you will go on to great things. My nieces have LOVED watching you and the team. When the national champ trophy does come home to Auburn, you will know that your hard work was a part of it. Thank you.
Jade Rhodes- My niece, Emma has loved watching you play. You always had a smile in your game and that means a lot to me. Emma gets nervous and upset sometimes, so for her to see you play, it makes a huge difference for her. Thank you for the hard work and dedication that you put in. This group of seniors has changed the face of college softball in this state. Thank you for all that you have done for Auburn. I know that we will hear great things from you.
Madison Dickey- All of you have worked so hard. This group of seniors has been incredible. You ALL have changed the face of softball at Auburn and in the state of Alabama. As a matter of fact, it has been changed in the SEC. I wouldn't have traded any of you on this team for any other player in the country. Thank you for all of you hard work and dedication to Auburn. I know we will hear great things from you in the future. Thank you.
Maria Mitchell- I didn't get to see you play all that much, but we missed many of the tv games at our own tournaments. I tell you this. I wouldn't trade any member of this team for any other player in the nation. You seniors, yall have changed things for this school. Auburn softball will NEVER be the same. The state of Alabama softball will never be the same. Thank you for all of the hard work that you all have put in. I cannot tell you how much we have loved watching this year. Your time and dedication was noticed and won't be forgotten. Thank you. I know we will hear great things from you.
Kelsey Bogaards- It sucks to end your senior year with an injury. You didn't quit though. You could've pouted and disappeared, but you didn't do that. My nieces who play softball were watching. They saw that you kept showing up after you were hurt. That gave them the idea that you don't have to quit when it gets hard. Thank you. Thanks for what you have done for Auburn. This group has changed Auburn softball forever. Your hard work won't ever be forgotten.
Rachael Walters- You are another favorite player of my nieces. They are twins and they have loved watching you play. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. Your play at Auburn has made a difference for many years down the road. Auburn softball has been changed forever. There is a whole generation of young girls who have been watching the last two college world series. They think they can make it to play there, and they know they can do it at Auburn. Thank you for all of your dedication. I know that you will do great things. Thank you.
Marcy Harper- Wow, what a year for you. Congratulations on everything that you have done! Please know that we have LOVED watching Auburn softball. This senior class has made a difference that won't ever be forgotten. A foundation has been laid that will be there because this class put it there. Thank you. When the national champ trophy DOES come to Auburn (and it will) you will know that you had a hand in it. Thank you.
Lexi Davis- Wow, we are going to miss you. Thank you for everything that you did for Auburn the last few years. This senior class is really special. You all set a foundation for future generations that won't ever be removed. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication. You have always been fun to interact with on twitter. My nieces have enjoyed watching you and this team. Auburn softball won't EVER be the same, and it is because of this senior class. Your hard work has been noticed and it is appreciated.
Thank you and War Eagle!
Thank you and War Eagle!

The Greatest Comeback in the Women's College Softball World Series
As you know by now, the Auburn Women's Softball team defeated Oklahoma 11-7 in another wild finish. I had barely finished eating dinner last night and Oklahoma already had a 7-0 lead over Auburn by the 2nd inning. Oklahoma scored 1 run in the first inning and added 6 more runs in the top of the second inning.
Rachael Walters came in to relieve Kaylee Carlson in the 2nd inning. Rachael pitched 4 solid innings allowing 4 hits and no runs.
Auburn began their incredible comeback in the bottom of the 2nd inning. Oklahoma decided to go with a right handed pitcher, Kelsey Stevens instead of their ace, Paige Parker who had pitched every game in the post season.
Auburn began their incredible comeback in the bottom of the 2nd inning when Whitney Jordan hit a 3 run home run and Victoria Draper singled in a run. Auburn tied the game in the 4th inning after a two run blast by Kasey Cooper.
In the top of the 6th inning, Shay Knighten of Oklahoma hit a deep ball to left field and Tiffany Howard reached beyond the fence and came up with the catch to save 2 runs.
Makayla Martin came in to relieve Rachel Walters in the 7th inning and allowed just 1 hit for the remainder of the game.
Emily Carosone came up to bat in the bottom the 8th inning with the bases loaded and hit a grand slam home run on the first pitch that was in her zone to end the game 11-7 in favor of Auburn.
Auburn now has one more game to play to take the Women's World Series crown. I do expect Oklahoma to start their ace, Paige Parker and Auburn will continue to use their pitching depth. I feel that it will be an exciting night for this Auburn Softball team and a chance to go down in the Auburn record books.
Play well tonight ladies and get that ring! I hope to see you all rolling the tree at Jane B. Moore field when you do return.
War Eagle!

Giving Gus Some Credit
|Gene Chizik paces the Auburn sideline. photographer: unknown
During the spring of 2011 a former Auburn player had come back to Auburn to train with then strength and conditioning coach Kevin Yoxall. He noticed a change had taken place and that the fear of missing one of Coach Yoxall's training sessions had been "Taken AWAY."
The 2011season came around and lo and behold the fast Auburn offense was moving at a considerably slower pace. Most blamed the head coach Gene Chizik for meddling with Gus' HUNH offense.
The 2012 Auburn's football team played below mediocre. Gus had moved on to take the head coaches position at Arkansas State.
Many thought Gus was the reason that Auburn won the national championship in 2010. Change had to happen and fast at Auburn.
Jay Jacobs formed a committee, of which he was not a part of, to search for the best coach in the business. The choice was unanimous, Gus Malzahn was their man.
And so it began.
Since Gus' return Auburn has played in a national championship game in 2013. Set a record for A Day attendance, and season ticket sales.
Auburn has continually recruited inside the Top 10 in the nation. Continuing to bring the very best athletes to our football program.
The biggest complaint on Gus from fans and media alike is that the program did not meet media expectations in 2016. MEDIA EXPECTATIONS!
More football players are graduating, and indeed the 2 year APR rose significantly under Gus' watch.
With the new contract extension announced, Gus will be with us for few more years to come. That means stability in a program that desperately needs it.
I full well realize that a significant improvement NEEDS to take place on the football field this season. I have stated that many times.
The question is: If I know this is what needs to happen, don't you think Gus and his staff know this as well?
While I respect the opinions of many, if not all of my readers, I would like to see some restraint in calling for the axe to fall.
Let's all get behind Gus. His accomplishments far outweigh his lack of wins on the field in 2015.

Auburn Softball vs Oklahoma WCWS Game 1 Highlights
Lexi Davis went the full game on the mound for Auburn. Her heroic effort wasn't quite enough as the team bats went eerily silent for the most part until the last inning rally came up just a bit short.
Our Tigers play again tonight in hopes to extend the best of three National Championship series.

General Off-Topic Board / Should I pursue a girl that my friends don't really like?« on: June 07, 2004, 01:30:43 PM »
So this girl likes me (so I hear), and I think I'm starting to fall for her. I might want to pursue something with her, but all my friends think she is annoying. She tends to talk a lot, but in a way, I kind of like that because I am on the quiet side, so it seems to work out. We have a lot in common, she is smart, she can make me laugh, and when we are alone, we talk about some pretty intimate things (family, life etc) which is normally hard for me to do with most people...I dunno...I just like the girl. It just feels so weird to have all your friends bad mouthing her though (they don't really know that I'm into her). What would you guys do?

About this Business
From Our Editors
After earning a master's in sculpture, William Gustwiller immediately put all of those years of education to good use—though not in the way you might expect. He brought his artistic eye and sculptor's hands to the world of exotic chocolates, and he handcrafted enough of the sweets to open up Eclipse Chocolate in 2004.
Now, Gustwiller and his disciples sculpt about a dozen pastries and nearly 100 confections, including "quirky truffles" that were profiled in Food & Wine Magazine. Their artistic media: natural, organic, and sustainable ingredients. With a delicious layer chocolate as its mortar, Eclipse Chocolate has forged a partnership with Guittard Chocolate of San Francisco. The organization works directly with cacao farmers and other agents to source the high-quality, sustainable and fair-trade cacao that Eclipse Chocolate uses exclusively in its products.
Much of that cacao makes its way to Eclipse Chocolate's onsite bistro, where chefs incorporate it into buttermilk pancakes and blend it into what Travel and Leisure called some of "America's Best Hot Chocolate." The bistro, which also won a Silver Fork Award from San Diego Home & Garden magazine in 2013, even finds ways to incorporate chocolate into dinner: just look to the mascarpone meatball, which the chefs serve with a vanilla bean crostini and a cocoa balsamic drizzle. See a virtual tour of the restaurant here.

Steve Zipay at Newsday reports that Ryan McDonagh left Rogers Arena last night with his left shoulder in a sling, however, a team's spokeman said that the initial diagnosis was "not serious". Alain Vigneault told Zipay that McDonagh will accompany the team to Colorado for their contest against the Avalanche tomorrow night. With 44 seconds remaining in the game Alex Burrows did this to the Rangers stud defenseman… Burrows was given a five-minute elbowing penalty and a game misconduct. …at least initially this encouraging news. Even if he only misses a few games, that's a huge relief because originally it looked like McD might be lost for the remainder of the year. I literally saw the season flash in front of my eyes when he went down. …as far as discipline for Burrows, since the Rangers decided not to take things into their own hands, they'll have to wait for Shanahan's wheel of judgement, which we all know is usually stacked up against the Rangers. …i'm still baffled this morning that McDonagh's teammates didn't come to his aid either initially or on the next shift. With just 44 seconds remaining and the Rangers up two goals what's the downside? You send a message while standing up for teammate without worry of giving the Canucks a power play. If someone gave me a cheap shot walking down the street, I'd hope one of my friends would have my back. And yes, I know that fighting Burrows doesn't stop McD from being injured, but neither does a suspension. Do you also think he shouldn't be suspended?

While terraria is often seen as a "2D minecraft" it isnt and doesnt appeal to the same exact people because while they both employ mining and crafting mechanics in a blocky world and are similar in style they use the mechanics very differently.
in minecraft the game is very much secondary to the creative aspect of it, very few people bother even playing the game througg more than once, most that you do is play survival so you have to mine and craft t do your building. Minecraft is almost entirely a creative platform with a game thrown into it.
terraria on the other hand isnt that creative but is very much a platformer, a pretty damn good one to, you progress through levels, fight bosses and work towards a proper defined ending goal that you want to reach, the mining and crafting serve as a progressions system more than a creative tool, building is the only real creative part to it and even that you are thinking practically at all times to house NPCs.
But that is its appeal, I play terraria because i want to finish terraria unlike minecraft which im currently playing because i want to build a pretty farm

The Institute of Medicine (IOM) released important preventive health services recommendations for women in the United States for federal health insurance coverage without out-of-pocket fees (no copayments). The IOM Panel's report was released on July 20, 2011, and signed into law by the Obama administration on August 1. The IOM defined preventive health services as measures—including medications, procedures, devices, tests, education, and counseling—shown to improve well-being, and/or decrease the likelihood or delay the onset of a targeted disease or condition. The IOM recommends that women's preventive services include:
- • Improved screening for cervical cancer, counseling for sexually transmitted infections, and counseling and screening for HIV.
- • A fuller range of contraceptive education, counseling, methods, and services so that women can better avoid unwanted pregnancies and space their pregnancies to promote optimal birth outcomes.
- • Services for pregnant women including screening for gestational diabetes and lactation counseling and equipment to help women who choose to breastfeed do so successfully.
- • At least one well-woman preventive care visit annually for women to receive comprehensive services.
- • Screening and counseling for all women and adolescent girls for interpersonal and domestic violence in a culturally sensitive and supportive manner.
Women's health advocates and Democratic lawmakers, who have pushed for the policies for years, praised the panel's recommendations. Some social and religious conservatives objected to the birth control mandate, however. Government officials said that the prevention services will be available from January 1, 2013, in most cases resulting in a slight increase in premiums. Tens of millions of women are expected to benefit initially from the health reform law, a number that is expected to grow with time.
Most babies are now breastfed in the United Kingdom according to a new report from the National Health Service (NHS; Smith D. FIGO News Report, June 23, 2011). Approximately 78 to 83 percent of women in England breastfed their babies between 2005 and 2010. The prevalence of women breastfeeding their children was slightly lower in Wales (67–71%) and Scotland (70–74%). The study from the NHS Information Centre, The Infant Feeding Survey 2010: Early Results, looked at the percentage of newborns who were initially breastfed by their mothers, examining the variation in rates in different countries in the United Kingdom, across age ranges and socioeconomic groups. In addition, according to the report, across the United Kingdom, the percentage of mothers smoking either before or during gestation dropped over the research period, falling from 33 to 26 percent between 2005 and 2010. "It is pleasing to see that a greater percentage of babies than in the previous survey are being breastfed initially by their mothers," said Tim Straughan, chief executive of the NHS Information Centre.
Trial of labor is one of the new checkboxes reported on the revised 2003 U.S. Standard Certificate of Live Birth, and results for 27 reporting states in 2008 in the United States were reported recently by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (Osterman M, et al. Expanded data from the new birth certificate, 2008. Natl Vital Stat Rep 2011;59(7):8, 21, 22). Fewer than 1 of 10 women with a previous cesarean section (8.4%) had a vaginal birth after a previous cesarean (VBAC) in the 27 states. VBAC rates varied with maternal age, ranging from 7.8 to 8.7 percent. Black women had the highest rate of VBAC (9.4%) compared with white (8.6%) and Hispanic (7.7%) women. A large variation in rates occurred by state; VBAC was nearly four times as common in Colorado (16.3%) as in California (4.4%).
The primary cesarean delivery rate for the 27 revised states was 23.8 percent in 2008. The primary cesarean rate has been increasing since the mid-1990s (13.28%), "and may be influenced by shifts in demographics, maternal choice, medicolegal pressures, and other nonclinical factors," the report noted.
Data for the reporting area showed that just over one of four women delivering by cesarean (26.8%) experienced a trial of labor. Rates of attempted trial of labor increased with increasing maternal age. Women below 20 years of age were at least twice as likely to attempt a trial of labor as women aged 35 years and older (45% vs approximately 19%). Black women (30.2%) and white women (29.1%) were more likely to attempt a trial of labor than Hispanic women (21.4%).
External cephalic version (ECV) was performed in 2.1 per 1,000 births in the 24-state reporting area in 2008 in the United States, according to a recent government report (Osterman M, et al. Expanded data from the new birth certificate, 2008. Natl Vital Stat Rep 2011;59(7):6–7, 19). This obstetric procedure to change fetal position from nonvertex to vertex using external manipulation was reported for the first time on the revised 2003 U.S. Standard Certificate of Live Birth. White women were more likely to have ECV (2.5 per 1,000) compared with black (1.3) and Hispanic (1.7) women. Use of the procedure also rose with increasing age.
More than one-half of the procedures were successful (56.7%), and women with a successful ECV were more than five times as likely to have a vaginal delivery (77.8%) as women with a failed ECV (14.9%; data not shown). Success rates varied by maternal age; women aged 40 to 54 years had the lowest success rates (52.3%), and those aged 20 to 24 years had the highest success rates (60.8%). Hispanic women (69.4%) and black women (63.4%) were more likely to have a successful ECV than white women (50.6%).
A national survey of hospital practices that support breastfeeding was conducted by the CDC in 2007 and 2009 in the United States (MMWR, August 2, 2011). The CDC analyzed data from all U.S. hospitals and birth centers to describe the prevalence of facilities using maternity care practices consistent with the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding (developed by WHO and UNICEF). U.S. hospitals are not doing enough to encourage mothers to breastfeed their infants, raising the risk of health conditions such as childhood obesity and diabetes, according to the report.
The report found that less than 4 percent of hospitals fully support breastfeeding. Infants born at nearly 80 percent of hospitals are given formula when there is no medical need. Only about one-third of hospitals have "rooming-in" policies allowing infants to stay with their mothers around the clock. About 75 percent of hospitals fail to provide adequate support for mothers after they leave the hospital, according to CDC Director Thomas Frieden. Most hospitals were implementing three to five recommended practices (60.5% in 2007 and 54.3% in 2009), with only 2.4 percent of hospitals implementing at least nine recommended practices in 2007 and 3.5 percent in 2009. Less than 1 percent implemented all 10 policies either year. Recommended maternity practices varied by region (highest prevalence in the northeast) and facility size (larger had better breastfeeding policies). The report concluded: "Most U.S. hospitals have policies and practices that do not conform to international recommendations for best practices in maternity care and interfere with mothers' abilities to breastfeed."
Recent trends in in-hospital newborn male circumcision during 1999–2010 in the United States have been reported by the CDC (MMWR, September 2, 2011;60(34):1167–1168). To monitor trends during this period the CDC used three independent data sources—the National Hospital Discharge Survey (NHDS) from the National Center for Health Statistics, the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and the Charge Data Master (CDM) from SDIHealth. Each system collects discharge data on inpatient hospitalization. Incidence of newborn male circumcision decreased from 62.5 percent in 1999 to 56.9 percent in 2008 in the NHDS (average annual percentage change [AAPC] = −1.4%; p < 0.001); from 63.5 percent in 1999 to 56.3 percent in 2008 in the NIS (AAPC = −1.2%; p < 0.001); and from 58.4 percent in 2001 to 54.7 percent in 2010 in the CDM (AAPC = −0.75%; p < 0.001). The report noted that all three data sources underestimate the actual rate of newborn male circumcision because none of the data sets includes procedures performed in the community.
A recent government report, Childbearing Differences among Three Generations of U.S. Women, examined childbearing patterns of cohorts of women representing generations born at 25-year intervals in 1910, 1935, and 1960 (Kirmeyer SE, Hamilton BE, NCHS Data Brief, no. 68, August 2011). Women born in 1935 had the most children (on average 3.0 children per woman), and those born in 1960 had the fewest (2.0). Women born in 1910 and 1935 started their childbearing at the youngest ages with an "average" or median age at first birth of 21 years; more than 70 percent of their first births occurred to women below 25 years of age. The median age at first birth was oldest for the 1960 birth cohort (23 years). Of women born in 1935, 37 percent had four or more children; women born in 1960 were the most likely to have two children (35%); and women born in 1910 were equally likely to have no, one, or two children (approximately 22% each). Of these three cohorts, women born in 1910 were the most likely to be childless by 50 years of age (20%), whereas those born in 1935 were the least likely (11%).
The report noted that these distinct fertility patterns were a product of sociohistorical forces during these generations' reproductive lives. The childbearing of the earliest cohort (1910) was largely affected by the Great Depression and World War II. The drop in marriages and uncertainty brought by those events lowered the likelihood of childbearing. Women in the middle cohort (1935) started their reproductive lives after the end of World War II, when the number of marriages jumped, and the economy prospered. For several reasons, including the increases in women's educational and occupational opportunities and availability of reliable means of fertility control, the fertility of the last cohort (1960) was delayed and resulted in a smaller family size than that of the two earlier cohorts.
