The Things They Carried
by Tim O'Brien
The Things They Carried Literature and Writing Quotes

Quote #4
"The sound. You need to get a consistent sound, like slow or fast, funny or sad. All these digressions, they just screw up your story's sound. Stick to what happened." (Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong.114)
Mitchell Sanders is accusing Rat Kiley of making too many digressions, and of course that's a sin that Tim O'Brien is completely guilty of. Not only does the book as a whole not flow as a story, but Tim is constantly jumping into the middle of stories, jerking the tone around, and showing us that war is the antithesis of consistency. Nonetheless, the point is made—literary technique matters to O'Brien, and he's telling us here that it's something we should notice too.
Quote #5
I did not look on my work as therapy, and still don't. Yet when I received Norman Bowker's letter, it occurred to me that the act of writing had led me through a swirl of memories that might otherwise have ended in paralysis or worse. (Notes.11)
O'Brien's aversion to therapy here is kind of interesting. If writing helped him process his memories in a certain way, doesn't that count as therapy? Not the sit-on-a-comfy-couch, talk-about-your-feelings kind of therapy, but therapy nonetheless? Regardless, the ability to communicate his war experiences through stories has helped O'Brien avoid PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) and other homecoming issues that his comrades are still going through.
Quote #6
To provide a dramatic frame, I collapsed events into a single time and place, a car circling a lake on a quiet afternoon in midsummer, using the lake as a nucleus around which the story would orbit. As he'd requested, I did not use Norman Bowker's name, instead substituting the name of my novel's main character, Paul Berlin. For the scenery I borrowed heavily from my own hometown. Wholesale thievery, in fact. […] Almost immediately, though, there was a sense of failure. The details of Norman Bowker's story were missing. In this original version, which I still conceived as part of the novel, I had been forced to omit the shit field and the rain and the death of Kiowa, replacing material with events that better fit the book's narrative. As a consequence I'd lost the natural counterpoint between the lake and the field. A metaphoric unity was broken. (Notes.12-14)
Here we learn that while humor, violence, swearing, and everything makes O'Brien a lot more fun to read than, say, Hawthorne, he's nonetheless a Writer with a capital W. He uses terms like "dramatic frames" and "metaphoric unity" when he describes how he writes his story-truths. And this, dear readers, means that he's got to be using symbolism up the wazoo. Stop on by "Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory" to see how.

I've been going to Photoshop World since the very first one in Orlando. Over the years I've always tried to make it to the classes of other instructors when time permits, but I must admit that I don't always plan accordingly and often miss out on some great classes. One of the things I've been asking for was a native iPhone App to allow me to not only have the entire conference schedule in my hand, but to also allow me to plan my schedule right in the App. Today that dream has come true!
The NEW Photoshop World App is a MUST HAVE for any attendee
This was exactly what I was hoping for! The Photoshop World App is very well designed. Not only does it allow me to see the list of classes on the conference track and Expo show floor, but it also let's me see the classes by instructor. This is great because it allows me to quickly find the classes that I want to take. While a list of classes and even a list by instructor would be expected in this kind of App, the developer took it up a notch by allowing to you see "YOUR schedule" and any open time slots you have. If you see an empty time slot on your schedule via the "My Schedule" view you can tap to see which classes are going on during that time and simply add them. The App also adds the major activities such as the Keynote to your schedule by default to save you time. You can of course delete them if you don't want to attend.
See your schedule at a glance and tap to fill in any empty time slots with available classes during that time.
You can also see a list of the exhibitors in the Expo Hall. Once you see an exhibitor you're interested in you can tap to see a description of what that vendor offers.
There's even a nice Social Networking tie in that allows you to follow the Photoshop World blog and Twitter feed right from within the app!
The Bottom Line
If you have an iPhone or iPod touch and you're going to Photoshop World there is simply NO reason not to have this App! This is a great example on how a conference App should be designed. It's a must download. It's FREE, go get it now!

At least they were accurate about how hard it is to assemble that stupid Shrine of the Silver Monkey.
One of the world's most expensive meals ever (accidentally) signed off on. A man who has chosen to remain anonymous for suspected motivations to retain some dignity, accidentally rang up a $1.3 million dollar meal at Inverurie's Rajpoot Indian Restaurant in Scotland. Before that fat tip, the guy's meal, which included three entrees and drinks came out to be less than $100.
The Evening Express reports that restaurant owner, Abdul Wahid said: "When he came to pay I gave him the card machine and he asked to put in the amount himself but it didn't go through.
"I then had to phone the bank for him and I answered all of the questions and they then gave me the confirmation code.
"At this time he still had the card machine so I never saw the amount he had typed in.
"But 10 minutes later I took the machine and looked at it and I just said 'oh my god what's happened, what have you done my friend'. I looked at the receipt and then he looked at it and he just said 'oh my …'
"He then rang his bank up to say it was the wrong amount and cancel it before paying the correct amount."
"This has to be one of the most expensive meals there has ever been. I have never experienced anything like this. It was really, really shocking," said Wahid. "I still can't believe it."

Konami Shows Off Its PES 2010 Realism With the England Team
Written Wednesday, September 30, 2009 By Dan WebbView author's profile
Konami are keen to remind us that PES 2010 will be the most realistic, visual representation of football around, and do so today by showing off the English national team... minus Rooney.
On the whole, the team looks staggeringly realistic, except maybe David James who doesn't seem to look quite right and Theo Walcott's head is way too big. You've got to wonder where Rooney is though, and why he's replaced with Peter Crouch, who looks like he's having a stroke of some sort. A licensing issue maybe? Considering he's one of the many faces of FIFA.
The PES 2010 demo is available on Xbox Live now if you haven't already checked it out. Game's out October 23rd in Europe.

|Marshall County Lawyer Censured by the Supreme Court of Tennessee
On July 19, 2012, Thomas Andre Davidson, an attorney licensed to practice law in Tennessee, recieved a Public Censure from the Board of Professional responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court.
In the representation of an estate client, Mr. Davidson failed to review a prenuptial agreement which later significantly impacted the estate. After the client died, Mr. Davidson tore up the third codicil to the will but kept a copy. He submitted the will and first two codicils to probate without informing the court of the third codicil. He informed his client's wife that the third codicil had been revoked. He attended a hearing on the estate and did not inform the court of the third codicil. Mr. Davidson later produced the copy of the codicil to the Court and all parties.
By the aforementioned acts, Thomas Andre Davidson has violated rules in effect at the time of his actions, Disciplinary Rules 1-102 (Misrepresentation), 6-101 (Competence), 7-101 (Diligence), 7-102 (False Statement of Fact), and 7-106 (Violation of Rule of Procedure) and is hereby Publicity Censured for this violation.
A Public Censure is a rebuke and warning to the attorney, but it does not affect the attorney's ability to practice law.

Rayen Stadium drive moves into high gear online; Tressel to help solicit funds this week
Staff report
Leaders of a fund-raising campaign to renovate Rayen Stadium have posted a website and Facebook page to promote the $3 million project.
They have also arranged a private luncheon Friday with potential donors and former Ohio State and Youngstown State football coach Jim Tressel.
The website, at www.rayenstadium.org, and Facebook page, called It's Time for a Comeback at Rayen Stadium, include information about the campaign and the history of the stadium, built in 1924.
The Facebook page invites members to post their own pictures and memories.
A campaign committee co-chaired by Tressel and the Rev. Lewis Macklin of Youngstown expects to have the stadium ready for football by September 2012. About $1.2 million of the $3 million goal — $1 million allocated by the school board from its construction funds and $200,000 from the Rayen trustees — has already been raised.
Ed Matey, athletic director at Youngstown City Schools, said he has seen early support from business leaders and everyday citizens.
More than 100 community leaders have been invited to Friday's private luncheon where Tressel will present an appeal and invitation.
Read the full story Monday in The Vindicator and on Vindy.com.
So what's the deal here? Are we building this stadium for the Youngstown City Schools OR for Kacich's cronies that are threatening to shut the district down over the summer and turn the entire district into a charter district?
Tressel's involved? Let me guess... for every $10 donated you get a free tattoo?

Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 3 mins
I received this recipe as part of a Christmas bake exchange. This yummy treats are very pretty and taste like the two bite brownies that I love.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄3 cup brown sugar
- 3 ounces semisweet chocolate
- 1⁄4 cup butter
- 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1⁄3 cup flour
- 24 rosebud or Hershey chocolate kisses
- Melt sugar, butter, and chocolate until just melted.
- Cool 1 minute.
- Blend in vanilla and egg.
- Gradually fold in flour. Pour mixture into greased mini muffin tins lined with or without paper liners.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 10- 12 minutes.
- While still warm, place one chocolate on each.
- You could also use those chocolate advent calender pieces for the chocolates.
Most Helpful
A good taste to these brownies but I used normal paper cups and it made less than 24 and they were quite thin. Next time I'll use Petit Fours cases. As I couldn't get Hershey Kisses in Scotland I used Chocolate buttons instead
Tasty, but if it were not for the picture I would not have known to make these in little muffin cups. The recipe needs to be more specific. I wonder if next time I would put the Hershey's kiss in prior to baking.
I prepared these as shown in the photo submitted by the recipe poster using paper baking cups in my mini muffin pan. The brownies were hopelessly stuck to the papers. While the prep for the recipe was easy, and the flavor was good, I couldn't use the brownies on my Christmas trays. If I try the recipe again without liners, I will re-rate.

30 U.S. Code § 1721 - Royalty terms and conditions, interest, and penalties
In the case of oil and gas leases where royalty payments are not received by the Secretary on the date that such payments are due, or are less than the amount due, the Secretary shall charge interest on such late payments or underpayments at the rate applicable under section 6621 of title 26. In the case of an underpayment or partial payment, interest shall be computed and charged only on the amount of the deficiency and not on the total amount due.
Any payment made by the Secretary to a State under section 191 of this title and any other payment made by the Secretary to a State from any oil or gas royalty received by the Secretary which is not paid on the date required under section 191 of this title shall include an interest charge computed at the rate applicable under section 6621 of title 26.
All interest charges collected under this chapter or under other applicable laws because of nonpayment, late payment or underpayment of royalties due and owing an Indian tribe or an Indian allottee shall be deposited to the same account as the royalty with respect to which such interest is paid.
Any deposit of royalty funds made by the Secretary to an Indian account which is not made by the date required under section 1714 of this title shall include an interest charge computed at the rate applicable under section 6621 of title 26.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no State will be assessed for any interest or penalties found to be due against the Secretary for failure to comply with the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act of 1973 [15 U.S.C. 751 et seq.] or regulation of the Secretary of Energy thereunder concerning crude oil certification or pricing with respect to crude oil taken by the Secretary in kind as royalty. Any State share of an overcharge, resulting from such failure to comply, shall be assessed against moneys found to be due and owing to such State as a result of audits of royalty accounts for transactions which took place prior to January 12, 1983, except that if after the completion of such audits, sufficient moneys have not been found due and owing to any State, the State shall be assessed the balance of that State's share of the overcharge.
Interest shall be charged under this section only for the number of days a payment is late.
Interest shall be allowed and paid or credited on any overpayment, with such interest to accrue from the date such overpayment was made, at a rate equal to the sum of the Federal short-term rate determined under section 6621(b) of title 26 plus 1 percentage point. Interest which has accrued on any overpayment may be applied to reduce an underpayment. This subsection applies to overpayments made later than six months after August 13, 1996, or September 1, 1996, whichever is later. Such interest shall be paid from amounts received as current receipts from sales, bonuses, royalties (including interest charges collected under this section) and rentals of the public lands and the Outer Continental Shelf under the provisions of the Mineral Leasing Act [30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.], and the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act [43 U.S.C. 1331 et seq.], which are not payable to a State or the Reclamation Fund. The portion of any such interest payment attributable to any amounts previously disbursed to a State, the Reclamation Fund, or any other recipient designated by law shall be deducted from the next disbursements to that recipient made under the applicable law. Such amounts deducted from subsequent disbursements shall be credited to miscellaneous receipts in the Treasury.
For purposes of this chapter, an "excessive overpayment" shall be the amount that any overpayment a lessee or its designee pays for a given reporting month (excluding payments for demands for obligations determined to be due as a result of judicial or administrative proceedings or agreed to be paid pursuant to settlement agreements) for the aggregate of all of its Federal leases exceeds 10 percent of the total royalties paid that month for those leases.
A lessee or its designee may make a payment for the approximate amount of royalties (hereinafter in this subsection "estimated payment") that would otherwise be due for such lease by the date royalties are due for that lease. When an estimated payment is made, actual royalties are payable at the end of the month following the month in which the estimated payment is made. If the estimated payment was less than the amount of actual royalties due, interest is owed on the underpaid amount. If the estimated payment exceeds the actual royalties due, interest is owed on the overpayment. If the lessee or its designee makes a payment for such actual royalties, the lessee or its designee may apply the estimated payment to future royalties. Any estimated payment may be adjusted, recouped, or reinstated at any time by the lessee or its designee.
The Secretary shall issue all determinations of allocations of production for units and communitization agreements within 120 days of a request for determination. If the Secretary fails to issue a determination within such 120-day period, the Secretary shall waive interest due on obligations subject to the determination until the end of the month following the month in which the determination is made.
The Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act of 1973, referred to in subsec. (e), is Pub. L. 93–159, Nov. 27, 1973, 87 Stat. 628, as amended, which was classified generally to chapter 16A (§ 751 et seq.) of Title 15, Commerce and Trade, and was omitted from the Code pursuant to section 760g of Title 15, which provided for the expiration of the President's authority under that chapter on Sept. 30, 1981.

Reward offered for information about black bear killed on Parkway
Published: Thursday, January 24, 2008 at 11:55 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 24, 2008 at 12:31 p.m.
A reward of up to $3,500 is offered for information leading to the conviction of the person or persons responsible for the November 2nd unlawful killing of a black bear near milepost 430, between Balsam and Highway 215 on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Haywood County.
The illegal take of the black bear is the subject of a joint investigation between the National Park Service and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and brings a maximum civil penalty of up to a $10,000 fine and a criminal penalty of up to a $100,000 fine and one year in prison.
The Fish & Wildlife Service has contributed $2,500 to the reward fund, with the North Carolina Bear Hunters Association contributing $500, and the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation another $500.
Anyone with information concerning the killing is asked to call Blue Ridge Parkway Ranger Chip Buchanan at 828/456-9530 Ext. 112 or U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Special Agent Tom Chisdock at 828/258-2084. Callers may remain anonymous.

This week won't be the week to pack away all those heavy winter clothes, as our forecast will provide us with several opportunities to bundle up… interspersed with days where the layers will come peeling back off again. Today we'll top out close to 50 degrees with "normal" Kansas breezes (low teens). Tomorrow we're projected to barely reach freezing; those chilly temps will also be coupled with strong north winds, sustained as high as 20 with gusts close to 30 mph. After a brisk night of single digit wind chills, Wednesday will again only see the 30s (but no more wicked winds?). Thursday's forecast calls for a return to the mid-40s, before dipping into the 30s again on Friday and Saturday.
On the precipitation front, we'll also see intermittent chances for some light snow throughout the week. Currently, we have a slight chance for a dusting of white stuff during the evening on Tuesday. Slightly better snow chances arrive on Thursday evening and continue on through the day on Friday. At the moment, this round is not expected to bring significant accumulation – areas southeast of the Turnpike could see a trace to 1 inch. That may change, however, when the weekend arrives. Forecasters are keeping a close eye on a system that could bring light-to-moderate snowfall on Sunday/Sunday night. Watch for further updates as that system gets closer…

Keeping kids out of jail: new report shows progress on alternatives
Number of Utah youths held behind bars drops by 20%
Garff expresses some frustration that recent budget cuts have endangered "receiving centers," that have for more than 20 years offered a buffer between doing nothing and sending a kid into confinement.
Before the receiving centers, Garff said, an officer would either "cite and release" or drive youth offenders around until they could find a parent. The result was an enormous gap between doing nothing and doing too much, especially given routine, minor offenses.
Most of the offenses handled by youth courts are quite minor. The two biggest categories handled by Layton youth courts, Karlene Kidman said, are truancy and retail theft, followed by curfew violations. Youth courts in Utah cannot handle felonies or high level misdemeanors.
Solutions are flexible. For instance, the Layton youth court helps arrange academic counseling and tutoring, Kidman said.
Family engagement
One crucial difference compared to older models is that Utah youth courts require parents to attend hearings with the child, rather than treating the child in isolation. This creates opportunities for learning and avenues to counseling when called for, Kidman said.
Her youth court members will often recommend counseling to families. "We cannot order the family, but we can order the youth. We have youth classes we can send them to." But Kidman said that 75 percent of the time families will accept and follow through on the suggestion for family counseling.
"Often the parents are just saying, 'I'm shocked. How come my kid did this,'" Kidman said. "The parents do really want to help their youth."
"Family-focused interventions" work better than traditional juvenile justice, which tended to ignore the family and isolate the youth from it, Lubow said.
The traditional model, Lubow said, is "family-unfriendly and family-unfocused."
"We have a system that does not focus on family," he said, "that is trying to change the behavior of 14- and 16-year-olds as if they are mature adults, capable of independent decision-making."
Traditional approaches "exclude the primary socialization force in their lives," Lubow said. "We operate with a theory of change that says that a 10-minute meeting between a youth and his probation officer has more impact than what goes on in the household on a day-to-day basis."

2014 Patz & Hall "Dutton Ranch" Russian River Valley Chardonnay
Review Date: 07-27-2016
A lovely Chardonnay with a bright, pretty, zesty nose. Hints of pear, honeysuckle, and orange blossom waft from the glass. There's a nice mid-palate weight that's not too heavy. A delicious, richer style that offers perfect acidity, and a high-toned herbal finish. This will hang with the "big boys" of California Chardonnay, but without the "big boy" price.
Price: $37.99
2015 FRAM Chardonnay Robertson
Review Date: 06-22-2016
I don't take Chardonnay home all that often. I don't drink it often, and not many Chards catch my fancy. The Fram Chardonnay hits me just the right way! Bright, lifted, high tones are immediate on the nose, while it offers spice driven richness on the palate. The texture and weight made me assume it was aged in barrels but the viscosity is brought in via lees contact. The best part about it, is it's lovely and rich, but not over-oaked. And the price doesn't hurt much, either.
Price: $12.99
2014 S.C. Pannell Syrah Adelaide Hills South Australia
Review Date: 06-22-2016
If you think you can only get great Syrah, with robust fruit flavors from California, you'd be wrong! Here, you get loads of spice and fruit on the nose - and bright acidity with amazingly rich fruit on the palate. All the decadence and supple fruit you want, without all of the sugar. You'll be hard-pressed to locate a better Syrah at this price! As the hipsters are saying, Amazeballs!
Price: $24.99
2011 Moss Wood "Moss Wood Vineyard" Wilyabrup Margaret River Western Australia
Review Date: 06-22-2016
Since tasting this, yesterday afternoon, I can't stop thinking about the beauty of this wine. I've tasted far lesser wines that were far more expensive from Bordeaux. This has the right aromas that invite you in for the sip. The fruit is dark, intense, and is mouth-filling, with a silky texture. There's just enough toast going on to balance things out, but not enough to knock things out of whack. This is delicious and rich, without being over-the-top. We don't have a lot so be sure to jump on this top tier, very age-able, wine before it's gone!
Price: $79.99
Kavalan Solist Ex-Bourbon Cask #75 K&L Exclusive Cask Strength Single Barrel Taiwanese Single Malt Whisky (750ml)
Review Date: 06-22-2016
This baby is intense, and delicious! The sweetness (think brown sugar and maple syrup) is quite evident from the nose, and continues on throughout the palate. A good deal of vanilla extract and a touch of anise is waiting for you as you continue to drink. If you just add a little water to this, it is going to sing! Just incredible!
Price: $149.99
2013 Taken Napa Valley Red Blend
Review Date: 05-25-2016
Elegant. Rich. Delicious. The nose offers up lovely cherry notes and a slight hint of mocha. Rich and decadent on the palate with firm tannins that leaves you with a lovely mouth-feel on the finish. As the wine lingers on, you'll notice bright fruit, lovely baking spice, and hints of fresh-cracked pepper. A delicious California blend, at a very reasonable price.
Price: $24.99
2012 E. Guigal Côtes du Rhône
Review Date: 05-11-2016
The scent of bright crunchy cranberry and red fruits show off like a lovely perfume. Slight minerality , and perfume come through quite elegantly - like a wine twice this price! Another winner for parties, weddings, or just because it's Monday!
Price: $12.99
2014 E. Guigal Côtes du Rhône Blanc
Review Date: 05-11-2016
This is always a great seller and one of the best white wine values here at K&L! A beautiful expression of racy tones of white flowers and peach come out of the glass quite enticingly. Nice acidity and medium weight on the palate make this a perfect sipper (even before 5 o'clock). Stone fruit and dried flowers continue on the palate. The summer months are upon us and this is a perfect bottle to open on a hot(or warm, or cool, or cold) day. A delicious value under 15 bucks!
Price: $12.99
2014 Chateau Vitallis Pouilly-Fuissé
Review Date: 04-22-2016
Impressive Chardonnay for the money! I like how expressive it is out of the glass and how inviting it is to be sipped on. Touches of lemon zest and dried flowers on the nose with a nice weight to the palate offering up a nice creamy texture. Slight touch of vanilla from the tiny bit of wood that it sees is quite enjoyable. This is what I call "easy drinkin'".
Price: $19.99
2014 Chateau Vitallis Pouilly-Fuissé Vieilles Vignes
Review Date: 04-22-2016
Like its little brother, this is quite pretty out of the glass. The more noticeable tones of toast and vanilla let you know it's been in contact with more wood, and in this instance is a wonderful thing! There's a lot more going on with this wine than the price would make you think. I like the addition of the more supple, creamy texture from the additional contact with the wood. You get a lovely amount of baking spice mixed in the with the stone fruit and citrus flavors, making it that much more enticing. An elegant wine that I can't wait to take home for dinner.
Price: $23.99
2013 Eisold-Smith "Edel" Columbia Gorge White Blend
Review Date: 02-03-2016
What's this, WHAT'S THIS. There's magic in the air! Ok. It's not actually magic- it's pretty darn close, though. It's the fragrant stone fruit and dried flowers in the air from this compelling blend of white wine from Washington. Although the wine maker hasn't come forth with a blend that amounts to 100 percent of the wine, we aren't scoffing at how delicious it still is. Bright, lovely, lifted, and #@!%, were all descriptors found on my notes at the end of the tasting. Hands down, my new favorite white wine to take home, and priced to sell!
Price: Hidden
San Venanzio Prosecco Valdobbiadene Demi-Long Superiore Brut
Review Date: 02-03-2016
This is a winning value! Bright, crisp, and creamy lemon zest on the nose. High fruit tones and crisp, dry, delicious bubbles on the palate. This comes together nicely with apple fruits and a nice mineral backbone. You can never have too many bubbles so be sure to add this bottle to your collection.
Price: $14.99
2014 Seghesio Sonoma County Zinfandel
Review Date: 02-03-2016
I'm finding more Zins that I consider approachable- even great! The 2014 Seghesio SoCo Zin is one such wine! After a lot of wine tasting there's usually 3 or so that are real stand-outs. This would be one of those stand-outs from a recent tasting. The aromas were frickin' (<---edited for content) unstoppable! Plenty of fruit, dried flowers, and toffee wafting eagerly out of the glass and leading into a great dark-fruit filled mouthful of deliciousness. The structure, although not in the way, indicates that this will be able to hold up against the big boys of Zin for a long time. Get-you-some.
Price: $19.99
2013 Smith & Hook Central Coast Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 02-03-2016
Hi, My name is Sal and I drink red wine... And this bottle is one of the main reasons I drink red wines. This has a great sense of rich ripe fruit (but not too sweet), and just enough oak, tobacco, spice, and acidity to balance things out. It's drinking quite well right now but I know it can go for several more years. I can think of a few wines over 50 bucks that would be easily replaced by this, and no-one would be the wiser. 17 bucks?! Are you kidding me!?!
Price: $16.99
2014 Eyrie Vineyards Dundee Hills Pinot Gris
Review Date: 12-30-2015
This is what a pure, domestic, Pinot Gris should taste like. There's plenty of round fruit, bright acidity, and crisp mineral notes on the palate. Delicious and elegant on the finish. I'm not sure that a better domestic Pinot Gris can be had, but if so, it would not be even close to this price! Three huge cheers to Jason Lett for always allowing the vineyards, and time, make the best products possible.
Price: $19.99
2012 Stonestreet "Estate" Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 11-18-2015
Savory and sumptuous! From the start, the nose is full of quite lovely cherry, raspberry, and mocha notes. On the palate it's got a lovely velvet texture. Fine tannins come across nicely and blend very well with the fruit. The finish is medium to long and is a beautiful, savory number. Delicious!!
Price: $34.99
2013 Spellbound California Petite Sirah
Review Date: 10-22-2015
Looking for ripe, juicy, sexy P.S. at a bargain of a price? Here, we have a really approachable, rich, round, delicious, Petite Sirah. The fruit is ready from the word go and has supple hints of caramel, vanilla, and spice. It's not overly complicated and it's a sure bet for your next get together.
Price: $11.99
2012 La Valentina Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Review Date: 08-30-2015
A nose of dried flowers, red fruits, and spicy cola are ready right out of the bottle. The lovely fruit, and earth, along with the fine tannins and baking spice make me take this seriously. This beauty finishes long, elegant, and balanced. A seriously great value from Italy!
Price: $10.95
Marietta "Old Vine Red-Lot #62" Red Blend
Review Date: 02-23-2015
I like to use the term "over-deliver" for wines that I feel exhibit an incredible value at any given price. Lot #62 over-delivers on the over-delivery! I love its beautiful fruit aromas, and its sumptuous fruit and spice on the palate. This blend is as sexy, and sumptuous, and delicious as anything I've tried under $20. You'll be hard-pressed to find a better value. Period. Get yours now as I'm fairly certain this will be flying off the shelves shortly!
Price: $11.99
Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Gin 375ml
Review Date: 05-02-2014
I can't really say I am a "gin" person (whatever that means), but I know what I like when I taste it. This is it! This is what I like! I tried it 'neat' and really under-estimated what this little bottle was capable of. Let's start out with pretty flowers and juniper popping out of the glass! Another whiff and I was hit with jasmine blossom and orange peel! I didn't have to take a sip to know that I was going to be taking some of this home. I took a little sip anyhow, and some of the loveliest spices, pepper, and juniper just washed over my tongue and filled my mouth. As I try to convey into words, what this gin tastes like, it is selling out from under us! Yes, the bottle is a little expensive, but once you get the bottle home and into your glass, it'll all make perfect sense.
Price: $44.99

Hot answers tagged wheat-beer
74-78F is on the warm side, so you'll want to reduce time spent at that temperature to a minimum to reduce the chance of staling reactions from affecting the beer. On the plus side, the high temperature means the yeast won't need more than 3 days to ferment the priming sugars and clean up, after which you can then chill the bottles for a few days to allow ...
Citra is a good bet for grapefruit aromas. Check this link for a nice tool to help with hopping your beers https://www.hopunion.com/aroma-wheel/
No offense, but try making the wheat beer without the peaches first. If this is your second batch there is a pretty high probability there are parts of your brewing process that can be optimized. Tossing peaches in there may just hide or create new problems so you won't really be able to tell whats wrong and how to fix it. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry ...
Depending on the temperature at which you're storing it, it should be fully carbonated in 0 to 10 days. The best way to determine this is to open one up and try it and see if it's carbonated yet. If it's not yet, then give it a couple more days. Most wheat beers are not really meant for aging, so it should be pleasant/drinkable as soon as it is ...
At first when I looked at it, I thought the bright white stuff you mentioned was actually glare from the lights with the distortion of the carboy, and that you were talking about the raspberries, which have since lost most of their color and look more like brains, if anything. Now that I know what you're talking about, that is definitely mold/bacteria, with ...
You can do a mash rest at 110F-ish to develop some of the precursors that the yeast use for clove character. This develops ferulic acid in the mash which get converted to 4-vinyl guaiacol. Thirty minutes is fine, then infuse up to your sac rest temp. But its easier to just ferment warmer say 72F, that will develop more clove vs. banana esters. I ferment my ...
Yes. It's called dunkelweizen. Made with wheat malt and Munich malt. http://wiki.homebrewersassociation.org/15BDunkelweizen
So I want to make a summer shandy, can I just put fruit in the second fermentation stage instead of juice?
You can certainly try it. That's the major advantage of homebrewing. However, just because these beers are coming prepackaged nowadays doesn't mean that's the way its done in the place of origin. These things evolved really as beer cocktails. I think its far better to just add the lemonade to the beer in the glass. That way you have great beer to begin ...
It's definitely contamination, but I doubt it's made contact with the beer, since most contaminats at this stage feed on oxygen and perish in alcohol, plus it's just a little on top of the fruit. Since the beer smells and tastes fine now then rack from beneath, chill and force carbonate (if you have kegs), or prime as usual if you bottle-carbonate, then ...
Time and cold temps are the best way. Keep it around 35F for a couple weeks and it will clear.
Centennial will give a pronounced grapefruit flavor.
Check your brew notes, as many details as possible are appreciated and limits the speculations in answers. Solutions differ for many causes of the stuck fermentaion. If I had to guess, it may have got too cold, raise temp to 75°F. Or the mash was above 158° and the yeast ignored the more complex sugars.
I don't think there was much you could do on the fermentation side to fix anything. I'd still have planned ferment it out, plan to dry hop it heavily to try and create a little more balance. Then I'd learn form the experience and get ready to re-brew the beer I wanted to brew. To limit your efficiency, you could sparge a little faster or ease up on the ...
I'm not sure how you like your root beer, but to get a taste similar to commercial root beers, you'll need a completely different recipe. Here is a related question: How would I make Alcoholic Rootbeer?
Lactose. It's unfermented by standard brewing yeasts and leaves residual sweetness in the bottle/keg. And it doesn't take much to sweeten a brew. To figure out how much you need, mix lactose 1-to-1 by volume with boiling water and siphon off about 4 oz of your beer, then add the sweetener by the mL until it's the sweetness you want. Multiply to your volume, ...
The style guidelines for wheat beers mention ester notes as being common in German, and moderate in American wheat beers. I expect you might be ok. On the other hand, you might go with a saison or other farmhouse style that's more heat tolerant. You'll get more predictable results staying within the recommended temperature.
So I want to make a summer shandy, can I just put fruit in the second fermentation stage instead of juice?
One difficulty you'll have with getting that signature shandy flavor when adding fruit to secondary is that the sweetness (sugar) of the juice will get converted to alcohol by the yeast, leaving you with mostly aroma, and a little flavor. A lot of people don't recognize how much sugar plays into the overall taste of the fruit. Without the sugars, it is not ...
I do want to suggest that if you do like it, you could simply grate some lemon rind - a little bit - into a few bottles to experiement with how you like it. I like this flavor but it is preferential and personal. Label those bottles with how much you put to find out. I would say that if you think it would work try a little in the bottle after the brewing ...

Like other famous pairings throughout history—Antony and Cleopatra, Romeo and Juliet, Laverne and Shirley—salt and pepper just go together. Why not make it official? This slick gadget combines your kitchen's two must-have seasonings while taking up less space.
I already had a salt/pepper grinder that I'd bought elsewhere to use for outdoor meals. Once I found that it was being put to use almost daily (so handy to have the salt and pepper in one grinder) I plumped for this Birchbox one in white. I was surprised to find that it's much larger than my old s&p mill, but this will mean less re-filling. So, absolutely a great thing to have in the kitchen.5
The most annoying thing about this product is the fact that my husband complains about it every time he uses it. I'm not as bothered by it. His main complaint is that some salt comes out with the pepper. It does, however I compensate by peppering first, then salting but using slightly less than I normally would. Sea salt works better than Kosher salt in this grinder in my experience.3

AJ Clarke in BPS Hall of Fame
AJ Clarke was one of 5 eminent Pharmacologists newly
inducted into the British Pharmacological Society's Hall of Fame on 19 Nov
2015. The Wellcome Department of Pharmacology was established in 1905 and was
the first such Department in England. Since its inception it has been renowned
for its discoveries of drug action on tissues, cells and single proteins, and
for the quantification of drug action, such as the Schild Plot. In 1923 A.J
Clark produced a seminal textbook entitled 'Applied Pharmacology' linking
Pharmacology and Therapeutics. This book has been updated by members of the
Department over the years and in its present form - now called Pharmacology -
remains a leading text in the field.

I had my OB check today. I am 36 wk 1 day. She said I am dilated a finger tip so probably about one cm. The babies head is super low though. She was pushing on the babies head and moving her up and down, it was pretty uncomfortable. Has anyone else had their doc do this? She said my cervix is super soft so hopefully I will go into labor in the next few weeks! I am getting so anxious, I wish she could be here and be healthy today!
36 weeks 1 cm dilated
Comments (9)
That doesnt give me much hope! I really hope since the babies head is so far down that something starts to happen soon
Your exam sounds just like mine was at 36 wk 6 days. Cervix is 50% efffaced but only dilated a small finger tip The midwife touched the head and moved baby up and down just as you said. This must be common practice.
everyone is different.... i was 1.5 cm dilated and 60% effaced at 36 weeks and she was super low as well..... fast forward to week 37 and i was still 1.5 cm dilated but now 75% effaced and im still waiting... two days till 38 weeks....
but i have heard of women going from a 1 to 4 in a week...it all depends on your little angel i guess :D
I have been at almost a two for 2 weeks and the baby is really low. I am 36 weeks tomorrow. i don't expect to make it to my due date as this is my 3rd but i don't see it happening in the next few days either. with my first i was at a 3 for 4 weeks and she was born 4 days before her due date. but it really does not mean anything yuo can not be dilated at all and go into labor. I hope your lil one come soon for you!!
Yeah it just really really sucks having no clue when it will happen.. it's like it could be tomorrow or next week... or it could be 4 weeks. I hate it
With my last one, I was 2 centimeters, at 36wks, and was 4 centimeters, at 39wks... Baby had dropped at 29wks, was head down, very low, and I had lots of achy contractions... I still went all the way to 40wks. : /
this just keeps getting more and more depressing
Yeah, tell me about it. Last wk--I was 36wks, I was 1 centimeter, my cervix was thick, and baby was still very high up... Ugh! Very different, this time!

Last week, the Queenstown District Court sat in chambers in
his memory.
Queenstown lawyer Dale Lloyd said last week Mr Newell was a
''real stalwart'' for representing people and worked
extensively as a duty solicitor in the Queenstown District
The lawyer also worked in Dunedin and Invercargill.
New Zealand Law Society Otago branch president David
Robinson, of Dunedin, described Mr Newell as a
larger-than-life character respected by peers and by the
court as a highly capable advocate.
''He was very down to earth - that voice of his was very
compelling when he was doing an address to a jury.''

Edit: I just read Esmi's post above, hope this provides some necessary info for your questions about how the attachment got multiple parents.
Hi otto, no I didn't manually create the new attachment posts, and I didn't know there were duplicate attachment posts. I just wasn't surprised, because I do have images used in more than one place on the site.
I use File Gallery plugin to pull in attachments from a post and re-use them in other galleries, say the gallery of a static page. I don't know how that's accomplished in the database by File Gallery. But it is often necessary to do on this site: for example something about a boat is reported in daily news, and one of the pictures goes into a "boat news" mega-gallery on the "boats" page.

|Reviews for This is My Beloved Son, in Whom I Am Well Pleased
| Eliella45 chapter 1 . 6/5
My God, I have never read something like this. It is fantastic! So heart wrenching, but oh so beautiful. It's perfect. Carlisle's feelings, his struggle, Edward's love for his parents and his good heart shining through such a dark period. And especially Elizabeth's words, 'My son, look on your father. Father look on your son'. Blew my mind away! ! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.
| Zlatka chapter 1 . 5/27/2015
Wow.. thank you.. really amazingly written
| Twlightforever chapter 1 . 4/18/2015
Liked you take on this very interesting to read
| MyladyNancy chapter 1 . 12/14/2014
I love the interplay between Elizabeth and Carlisle. And the imagery of God's own son. As they serve men through the centuries they serve their Lord at well. Belle would help him find is soul again. thank you for sharing your talent I liked it a lot.
| Narges chapter 1 . 11/3/2014
Beauifuly writen :-)
| meelee72 chapter 1 . 7/31/2014
I have read many versions of this time frame.
I always enjoy everyone's perspective, & urs is no different... I mean that I enjoyed it...
Actually, it's quite different from others i've read..- I love ur take on this.
This is a truly beautiful & believable story.
Super well done! :)!
| morena.davidson.3 chapter 1 . 2/10/2014
Thank you for sharing this. It was so wonderfully done...The expanding and liberties you took were totally believable and fleshed out Carlisle's story in a marvelous way. :)
| Tish the Dish chapter 1 . 11/7/2013
This was poignant and beautiful. Your depiction of Carlisle's compassion and Elizabeth's desperate strength was incredible. And Edward's manners and upbringing was clear. I truly loved the prayers and biblical references. Well done. One of my favs.
| BELAVERA chapter 1 . 8/8/2013
I, too have studied both the organ and the piano. My first love is the organ. I loved the story, especially the way that Carlisle finally accepted that God had given him the opportunity to do what he could to save Edward.
| trtlsoup2001 chapter 1 . 3/20/2013
Type your review here...
| RemaSofiRuin chapter 1 . 2/10/2013
I love the way you show Carlisle's debate over his own humanity and also his connection with Edward and his parents leading up to each of their deaths. Great job!
| sassygirl156 chapter 1 . 12/2/2012
I had not read this before. It's such a beautifully written insight into the mind of Carlisle, and how Edward came to be. If you were ever so inclined, a second chapter that speaks to the later misgivings Carlisle had about changing Edward would fit well. I'm sure you'd do it justice!
| k1942 chapter 1 . 11/17/2012
Quite simply the best depiction of Carlisle meeting the Masens, and the subsequent decision to change Edward to his eternal son. Very love background story!
| MiQuerida 8142 chapter 1 . 8/30/2012
Oh my god. I remember reading this story years ago and I absolutely loved it. Here I am again surprised to stubble upon this story that I had forgotten about and crying none the less. I remember crying last time I read this too. It is absolutely incredible! So tortured yet unbelievably loving. You capture Carlisle and everyone else's characters perfectly. Great story :)
| Alicia of the Temptation chapter 1 . 8/1/2012
This is beautiful, incredible. I'm not much for religion and I tend to forget Carlisle's religous upbringing. You not only allowed me to remember it, but you also showed him to have traits so human and so beautiful, it made me adore this passage and respect him more. Wonderful, excellent job.

Are flash game the only game type accepted? Was kinda hoping Game Maker was accepted as well…
Nope, unfortunately you cannot run Game Maker in the browser (as far as I know – not counting any HTML5 exporter/whatever right here), and thus Kongregate does not accept it.
According to their site, if you buy the expensive version, then it can export for web (HTML5 :\). I'd just like for another option like Stencyl.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Top Physician Topics of 2010
3. New Guidelines for Prostate Cancer Screening
The advent of better tests -- such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening -- can in some cases save lives with early treatment. But these tests can also pose new dilemmas, as the American Cancer Society (ACS) emphasized on March 3 when it updated its prostate cancer screening guidelines. The test picks up benign disease as well as cancer, and it can't distinguish between aggressive and mild forms of the disease, the ACS pointed out. In some cases, it has led to expensive and invasive treatments in patients who might never have experienced symptoms. So the ACS is calling on physicians to spend more time counseling patients about their options (despite the difficulty of billing for such counseling). The PSA controversy intensified when the scientist who discovered PSA in 1970, Richard Ablin, PhD, of the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Tucson, Arizona, said categorically that the test should not be used to screen all men older than 50. That's a direct contradiction of the ACS guidelines. Controversy about the value of PSA testing continued when results of studies on both the effectiveness of the test and on chemoprevention were reported.
4. Revised Diabetes Guidelines
Screening technology popped up in the news again in December 2009 when the American Diabetes Association published new clinical practice recommendations. Although published late last year, it has been among the top read topics on Medscape in 2010. The guidelines promote the use of the hemoglobin A1c test as a faster, easier diagnostic test that could help reduce the number of undiagnosed patients and better identify patients with prediabetes. A1c measures average blood glucose levels for roughly the past three months. Previously it was used only to evaluate diabetic control with time, but because it doesn't require fasting, A1c testing will encourage more people to get tested, leading to treatments and lifestyle changes that could prevent the worst effects of the disease, the American Diabetes Association said.
5. Calcium Without Vitamin D Boosts Heart Attack Risk
Prevention guidelines also made headlines when a large study found that calcium supplements taken without vitamin D may increase the risk for heart attack as much as 30%. Researchers reported the finding online July 29 in BMJ, based on their analysis of 15 trials with up to 11,921 participants. Most guidelines for osteoporosis recommend the supplements, despite relatively small benefits in bone health, but the senior author of the study says that in most cases, "discontinuation of calcium would seem appropriate." The study raised many questions, such as why calcium could have this effect during a relatively short period of time. Pending further research, some experts advised eating foods high in calcium rather than taking supplements.

Salt Lake Gallery Stroll helps make art accessible
Deseret News
Editor's note: This is the third story in a series highlighting arts organizations around Utah.
From watercolors to ceramics, from professionals to hobbyists and from contemporary Utah to 17th-century European artists, the world of visual arts has variety and depth that could warrant decades of study.
But the Salt Lake Gallery Stroll offers it all in one night, and a person doesn't even need to be an art expert to enjoy it.
"It's a very unobtrusive way to introduce yourself to art," said Laura Durham, marketing and public value director for the Utah Division of Arts and Museums. "You don't have to take a class. You don't have to go to a big fancy opening — you can just walk in."
The Salt Lake Gallery Stroll is a monthly event where galleries throughout the city open their doors and invite the community in to "be a part of art," as the organization's tagline states. Taking place on the third Friday of each month with the exception of December, when the free event is on the first Friday, the stroll provides accessibility to visual arts by educating patrons, breaking down barriers and providing increased levels of interaction with the art.
"It's a welcoming, sociable event for everyone from serious collectors checking out an artist's latest work to young people who want an idea for a fun date," said Karen Horne, artist and owner of gallery stroll participant Horne Fine Art.
Education: Breaking down barriers
"Our mission is education," said Kristina Robb, director of the Salt Lake Gallery Stroll.
But getting people into the galleries to actually be educated is the key, and that isn't always easy.
"(My) family has been involved in art for generations, so I'm very at ease with art, but not everyone is," Horne said. "Galleries can be very intimidating."
Durham observed that many people imagine a stereotype about art galleries that the Salt Lake Gallery Stroll seeks to dismantle.
"I think there's stigma attached to it where you really have to understand it, but you don't," she said.
She further emphasized that the experience of viewing art should be about trying to appreciate it, regardless of whether one likes the art itself.
The gallery stroll works to overcome this stigma and help patrons become comfortable with art. One of the main features of the gallery stroll is the frequent presence of the artists at the receptions, which gives patrons the opportunity to learn and understand straight from the source.
"If you are interested in learning more, it's a great way to meet the artist and gain insight into their work," said Meri DeCaria, who has been the curator at Phillips Gallery for 23 years.
Other "educational devices," as Horne calls them, include live demonstrations in which artists paint during the stroll, giving guests the opportunity to actually see the palette, how the artist lays the paint down, what paint was used and more. "It's a little window into the art process," she said.
Beyond the education that comes from asking the artists questions, patrons can use the opportunity to become more educated about their own tastes by asking themselves questions.
"Just expose yourself to it and ask yourself what you like and what you don't like," DeCaria said. "Maybe if you don't like something, sort of question why, and see, as you continue to look, how your tastes evolve."

Carbon-Storing Forests May Compete With Farming in Australia
Carbon-storing forests may compete with agriculture for land in Australia, the world's fourth- largest exporter of wheat, if the nation introduces emissions trading, according to a research report.
"Large areas of land could become more profitable" as sites for plantations to absorb greenhouse gas emissions, depending on the price at which carbon trades, the Australian Farm Institute said today. A cap-and-trade system "would potentially generate new competition for agricultural land."
Australia in April shelved climate change laws until after 2012 amid lawmaker opposition and a lack of action by other countries. Prime Minister Julia Gillard has established a multi party committee to study options for introducing a price on carbon in a country where coal accounts for more than 80 percent of power production. The group met for the first time last week.
Carbon Conscious Ltd., an Australian company that plants gum-trees to absorb greenhouse gas emissions, has been hired by BP Plc, Origin Energy Ltd. and Wesfarmers Insurance to establish plantations on less-arable farmland. Melbourne-based competitor CO2 Group Ltd. has similar accords with Inpex Corp. and Woodside Petroleum Ltd.
The mallee eucalypt trees that Carbon Conscious plants, absorb and store emissions in their leaves, twigs and roots, and generate permits tradable under the pollution reduction laws Australia has now delayed. About five trees are needed to absorb 1 metric ton of carbon, according to the company.
The Australian Farm Institute commissioned GHD Hassall to compile the report, titled 'The Implications of Greenhouse Mitigation Policies on the Demand for Agricultural Land.'

NEWCASTLE, England - The coach of the U.S. women's soccer team wants her players in win-or-go-home mode. She just doesn't want them thinking too much about it.
The great mental shift, familiar in major soccer tournaments everywhere, has occurred in the last couple of days at the Olympics. The group stage is done. Eight of the 12 women's teams - including all the nations predicted to be medal contenders - have advanced to the knockout stage, starting with Friday's quarterfinals.
Remember how the Americans slowed down the game against North Korea on Tuesday to save their legs? Remember how the Japanese deliberately didn't score against South Korea in a 0-0 draw so they didn't need to travel for a few days? There's no room for such tactics anymore: If your team doesn't win Friday, it's done.

A high assurance IP encryption (HAIPE) compliant protocol accelerator is proposed for military networks consisting of red (or classified) networks and black (or unclassified) networks. The boundary between red and black sides is assumed to be protected via a HAIPE device. However, the IP layer encryption introduces challenges for bandwidth on demand satellite communication. The problems experienced by transmission control protocol (TCP) over satellites are well understood: While standard modems (on the black side) employ TCP performance enhancing proxy (PEP) which has been shown to work well, the HAIPE encryption of TCP headers renders the onboard modem's PEP ineffective. This is attributed to the fact that under the bandwidth-on-demand environment, PEP must use traditional TCP mechanisms such as slow start to probe for the available bandwidth of the link (which eliminates the usefulness of the PEP). Most implementations recommend disabling the PEP when a HAIPE device is used. In this paper, we propose a novel solution, namely broadband HAIPE-embeddable satellite communications terminal (BH-eST), which utilizes dynamic network performance enhancement algorithms for high latency bandwidth-on-demand satellite links protected by HAIPE. By moving the PEP into the red network and exploiting the explicit congestion notification bypass mechanism allowed by the latest HAIPE standard, we have been able to regain PEP's desired network enhancement that was lost due to HAIPE encryption (even though the idea of deploying PEP at the modem side is not new). Our BHeST solution employs direct video broadcast-return channel service (DVB-RCS), an open standard as a means of providing bandwidth-on-demand satellite links. Another issue we address is the estimation of current satellite bandwidth allocated to a remote terminal which is not available in DVB-RCS. Simulation results show that the improvement of our solution over FIX PEP is significant and could reach up to 100%. The impro- ement over the original TCP is even more (up to 500% for certain configurations).

I have a 10.5 month old baby boy, who doesn't sleep through the night, not even close. My husband and I can't handle him crying. It's so sad. :( He is my 4th child and my husbands first child.
Have you tried a white noise like a box fan or hair dryer. The constant sound really helped our baby sleep longer. When she wakes up too soon, the sound lulls her back to sleep. Worked like a dream for us. We since have bought a sound machine with ocean waves. My Friend recommended a little portable sound machine she found online at sleepybees.com that attaches to the car seat or stroller, Sleepy Bee. Now naps away from home are so much easier.
White noise definitely helps but oh my goodness not a hair dryer you'll burn your house down! Maybe try a more nipple shaped pacifier. This is not the best idea but lay him down with a bottle if he can hold it on his own. Then just do that less and less he won't starve overnight and ear plugs.

Things couldn't have gone much better for the Skyline Thunderbirds in their initial outing of the 2012 campaign.
Traveling to South Barber on Saturday for the South Barber Quad, the Lady T-Birds dispatched each of their three opponents with out dropping a set.
Skyline began their day by downing Stafford 25-17 and 25-8. They next handled Attica 25-9 and 25-21.
Rounding out a successful day, the Thunderbirds put away the host South Barber Lady Chieftains by counts of 25-19 and 25-7.
Skyline head coach Summer Younie was pleased with her charges' performance. "We had some really good play from the girls," she noted.
Kaitlyn Stark and Taylor DeWeese controlled the middle well for Skyline, hitting and blocking effectively.
According to Younie, "Harley Weaver did a great job on defense and Morgan Flowers played well both offensively and defensively."
Younie felt that the T-Birds received serve well and did a nice job keeping control of the ball.
Some things the Skyliners need to work on are becoming more consistent on the timing for their hitting and setting.
Coach Younie was confident the Thunderbirds will be able to improve onthe areas of concern.
"Many of the things we need to work on will come with more playing experience," she predicted. "I thought that for the first day out, we did a great job."
It would certainly be difficult to argue with that assessment. Certainly the other three teams attending the South Barber Quad had no doubt who the best team in the gym on that day was.
Skyline begins the season 3-0. They host a tournament next Saturday.

nevermind, after removing plug ins i was able to get it to work....
Can you please share the information which plugin caused the problem? My categories don't show up in article editor, manage and so on.
Have you tried:
- deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
- switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?
- resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.
- re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress?
- increasing the available memory?
- reviewing http://wordpress.org/support/topic/411649
