When I was a child, I fell in love with sewing. When I grew up, I fell in love with coding. That is how programming patterns came into my life. :) You couldn't help noticing that standard patterns don't fit well. That's because they are standard. Mine are processed just for you taking into your account your individual measurements. They are just as professional and way more intricate than many of the patterns by the Big Four. The collection grows rapidly - tune in at Facebook or Twitter to stay in touch!

The pattern is provided 'as is'. We always aim at providing the tip top service and will send you most complete instructions so that your garment turns out excellent.
Your pattern does not include the amount of fabric required. As the width of the fabric can be different, the fabric may have specific pattern and the pattern may have direction, I do not find it safe to give recommendations on the length of the fabric to purchase. It also depends on the size you order. I'll be happy to send a smaller view of details on 10x10cm (4"x4") grid or help you with calculations after purchase.
The patterns may be for stretchy or not stretchy fabric and consequently they may have different ease. Before purchase, you may get a preview of any pattern on our website www.lekala.co using coupon TEST on 10x10cm (4"x4") grid and see if it fits right.
Please remember that the actual fitting of a clothes sewed depends on the material chosen and sewer skills, and cannot be considered a reason for refund.

Knitter's Review
August 9, 2012
While most yarns strive for consistency, Rowan Denim doesn't. It bleeds on our fingers and shrinks in the wash—and people love it.
Who better to explain the enduring mystique of this classic cotton than Kay Gardiner, Mason-Dixon blogger and our Seed and Bast Fiber Field Expert. In this week's review, Kay covers everything from swatching and shrinking to deep-blue fingers, white muumuus, and freshly trussed chickens.

St. Mary Parish deputy from Houma killed in crash
Published: Wednesday, July 3, 2013 at 8:58 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 3, 2013 at 8:58 p.m.
A Houma man who worked as a St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office narcotics detective was killed Sunday in a Morgan City motorcycle accident, St. Mary Sheriff Mark Herbert said.
While riding his motorcycle, Carrill Cooks, 46, collided head-on with an SUV about 8:41 p.m. on La. 182 near Aycock Street, Morgan City Police Capt. Mike Marino said.
The investigation indicates Cooks crossed the center line, hit the SUV and was ejected from the bike, Marino said.
Cooks was pronounced dead at the scene. The three occupants of the SUV had minor injuries.
Officers are still trying to figure out why Cooks veered out his lane, and the investigation in ongoing, Marino said. Police are also waiting for Cook's toxicology results.
Cooks joined the St. Mary Sheriff's Office in 2007 as a road deputy, Herbert said. He became a narcotics detective in 2009 and also worked as a member of the St. Mary Sheriff's Office Special Response Team and as a training instructor in the Sheriff's Office academy.
"Anytime we lose a member of our SMPSO family it is difficult," Herbert said. "Our deepest condolences and prayers are with the Cooks family. We stand ready to assist them and his many friends in any way we can."

Scrivens, who got his first career shutout last Saturday in a 3-0 victory over Ottawa, stopped 37 shots.
Phil Kessel also scored for the Maple Leafs, who won for the sixth time in seven games. Toronto is off to its best road start since opening 7-2-0 away from home during the 1940-41 season. The Leafs beat the Panthers for the first time in seven games dating to a 4-3 shootout win on Feb. 1, 2011.
Jose Theodore made 30 saves for Florida, which lost its fifth straight and sixth in the past seven at home.
The Maple Leafs took a 1-0 lead on Kessel's goal with 2:56 to go in the opening period. Kessel brought the puck along the boards and sent a wrist shot high into the net.
Toronto went ahead 2-0 on a power-play goal by Nadri at 12:13 of the second. Dion Phaneuf passed the puck from behind the net in front to a wide open Kadri, whose shot beat Theodore on the glove side.
The Leafs stretched it to 3-0 less than two minutes later. Kadri passed the puck from the right side to MacArthur between the circles and he rifled the puck past Theodore on the stick side with 6:03 left in the period.
Notes: Kessel has all three of his goals and 10 of his 12 points on the road this season. ... The Maple Leafs are 20-21 on penalty kills over the last six games.

1a.Objectives (from AD-416)
The objective of this cooperative research project is to advance cotton genomics by developing the resources for the genome sequence of the Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) genetic standard, TM-1.
1b.Approach (from AD-416)
Large DNA-insert BAC libraries of the highly inbred genetic standard, TM-1, will be constructed and assembled into contigs to create a physical map. Minimum tiling path (MTP) BAC clones from selected contigs will be sequenced, and the assembled and annotated data will provide the complete cotton genome sequence with the gene content and distribution.

I use a WD LIVE TV to stream from PMS. As my AV receiver does not support ACC in MP4 files I always use the TRANSCODE folder and then it converts AAC to AC3 (dolby digital) for me. This works really well but my kids get confused having to go into the transcode folder.
Is there a way to set PMS to only show whats inthe TRANSCODE folder for a particular file format. IE .MP4
If not this would be a great option IMO.

But last week, I attended a neighborhood event intended to sow the seeds of peace. A Community Peace Walk, beginning and ending at Bella Vista Elementary School on 11th Avenue, featured a pre-k chorus, a sack race, a potluck, and many colorful posters drawn by students in kindergarten through 5th grade. Bella Vista students, parents, teachers and neighbors took a stroll around the block together, urged on by were told by Andrew Park - parent, neighbor and local pastor - who reminded them, "This is your neighborhood. Walk as if you own it!"
The march was led by the "big kids" - 4th and 5th graders carrying a big yellow banner reading "Neighborhood Peace Walk."
The spirit of the gathering was positive, focusing on creating a peaceful community. Oakland City Council Member Pat Kernighan spoke, as did Mayor Jean Quan. They talked about possibility, grace, love, and working together, without a litany of shooting and homicide statistics.
Bella Vista Principal Felicia Phillips also addressed the crowd.
There were about 400 people who attended the multicultural, multi-racial event, including neighbor and Westlake Middle School English and History teacher, Samira Khattab. She said that her 8th grade students are "so impacted by the trauma of violence. Kids want to see an end to the violence."
Park talked about "celebrating the peace." He said the gathering was intended to be "an exercise in grace. We're not protesting. Each step we take is a participation in grace, looking at others and seeing the beauty and grace in them. That changes the 'hood."Bella Vista 5th grader Kahlea agreed. She said she would tell youth who commit acts of violence to "Do the right thing! Have fun and stop being violent!"
"It was great because you don't want to wake up to gunshots," Said second grade student Ayah. "People should be nice."
Councilwoman Kernighan agreed, and added, "if we are going to change the violence, there need to be grassroots movements, and people need to know they're not alone."
At least one student at the march had a very personal experience with violent crime. Mohamed, who attends Oakland High, was shot about a year ago as he was leaving a party. "A bullet doesn't have a name on it," he cautioned. "Live by the gun, die by the gun."
A hopeful note is that the students I spoke to - 4th and 5th graders mostly - said that violence had not affected them directly. Bella Vista 4th grade teacher Leah Wachtel agreed that for the most part violence has been "outside the classroom," although she added that sometimes older siblings have been shot.
As a teacher, I am thrilled to see this gathering at an elementary school, and would love to see one at every school in Oakland. With our younger students, we can hope to sow seeds for non-violent lives and teach the ideas of peaceful communities. We also should not give up hope on our oldest students, even though they may sometimes seem to have resigned themselves. The youngest will always look up to the oldest, and we should give them the support, encouragement and resources to be worthy role models for those to whom they will someday pass the torch.

Hi, im completely new to PS3 media server and had a few questions.
To start i recently bought a Samsung 32' Smart TV (UN32EH5300F) and am trying to get the PMS to work with it. It will serve all the files that are nativity supported on the TV just fine the problem comes in with transcoding. I cannot get PMS to transcode any formats that are not supported by my TV. Most notably MKV's with FLAC audio and 10-bit video. The video will play however the audio will not and the TV will inform that FLAC is not supported. I've looked for about 2 days tried various things and couldn't figure out how to get past this hurdle. No matter the file i play or settings i use the transcoding buffer never moves and acts like it's trying to transcode.
My second question isn't as important, but goes along with this as well. Most of the files i watch that use subtitles are in ASS/SSA format. They have potions and colors and such. Is there a way to get the PMS to burn in subtitles on the fly? As my tv wants to simply make them all white and display them all in the same spot, which conflicts with any onscreen text and spoken dialogue.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Exclusive: First Look At Sheryl Sandberg's New Book
Sheryl Sandberg has made it, by any definition of the term: chief of staff at the Treasury Department by age 30, VP role at a little start up called Google at 32, leaving Google for Facebook to become its chief operating officer, a job she still holds today.
Are those accomplishments more impressive because she is a woman? They shouldn't be, but unfortunately they are, Sandberg argues. Corporate Intelligence got its hands on an advance copy of her new book, Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead (Knopf), due out in March, which takes readers through the reasons why American business is still a man's game at the top, and what ambitious women — and forward-thinking men — need to do about it.
The book's strength is also its weakness: it presents a deep and compelling account of the kind of challenges that hit one of the sharpest and most accomplished women in America, not just growing up but well into her rise to the top tier of corporate life, where just 4.2% of Fortune 500 CEOs are women.
This makes it a pretty powerful exhibit of how tough things can be for a professional woman — even one who is Harvard-educated, Larry Summers-mentored and fiercely ambitious. But it also makes it a more difficult tale for the vast majority of women lacking her rare traits: those not head-hunted by the Treasury Secretary in their twenties, who weren't the top performers in their Harvard Business School class, and who didn't, as Sandberg writes of her own childhood, train their younger siblings to "follow me around, listen to my monologues and scream the word 'right' when I concluded."
The bad news is, even for a woman with this impressive combination, working life remains a minefield. The office may well be reformed from much of the overt misogyny that once defined it, but social attitudes are slower moving. Men who commandeer a room are considered natural leaders, Sandberg notes, and those who take their managers out for late nights of drinking are just playing the game. Women who do the same are often considered bossy and shamelessly flirtatious, or worse.
Sandberg recalls a business trip to South Africa during her time working with Treasury Secretary Larry Summers: the two holed up in his hotel suite working on a speech for the next day. Jet lagged they lost track of time, eventually realizing it was 3 a.m.
"We both knew it would look awful if anyone saw me leaving his hotel suite at that time," she writes, and even attempts at a smooth exit were problematic because "there is no difference between trying not to be seen leaving someone's hotel room late at night and actually leaving someone's hotel room late at night" (in the end she walked out proudly to an empty hallway.)
In many ways, this is what you might call a high-quality problem: in your late twenties, chief of staff of a big government department, worried about the appearance of an improper situation that doesn't actually exist. But it's a reminder of how subtle and pervasive these kind of niggling challenges can be, and as Sandberg writes, how they can chip away at the mindset of even the most determined professional woman. They're also challenges that most men will never experience, or even know exist.
And this is where Sandberg's book gets to its most convincing point: that many of these roadblocks are best dismantled by women, who become progressively less represented as you move up the food chain of the average business. Reversing that trend is something Sandberg argues for most strongly:
Women rarely make one big decision to leave the workforce. Instead, they make a lot of small decisions along the way, making accommodations and sacrifices that they believe are required to have a family some day. Of all the ways women hold themselves back, perhaps the most pervasive is that they leave before they leave.
There's no simple solution to this, and Sandberg's arguments for how to incrementally deal with the trend are hard to summarize. They are also hard to replicate. In plenty of cases, her ideas are best suited to the professional elite: women with the ability to negotiate the terms of their employment, whose bosses see them as an asset they will fight to keep lest they jump ship to the competition. These are women who have an abundance of options and the luxury of choosing the best of them.
For those happy just to hold down a decent job in the profession of their choice, dealing with a sleazy manager or a culture of low-grade sexism among colleagues — and reinforced in media and entertainment — some of Sandberg's arguments will read like modern day takes on Marie Antoinette's "let them eat cake." For them, more basic remedies might still be in order, particularly here in America where laws governing basics like maternity leave or unfair dismissal are still pretty thin. Sandberg's book, focused as it is on empowerment and change from within, has little to say about this.
Is there more to be done in Washington to improve the lot of America's professional women? Maybe, but a deep cultural shift — among men and women — is needed just as much as a legislative one, according to some of Sandberg's anecdotes of remnant sexism experienced even in the hallways of Silicon Valley start ups or Manhattan investment banks.
And one problem with wishing for a Washington solution, it seems, is Washington. Run largely by older men, Congress is far from a model for female advancement. In her high school years, Sandberg interned on Capitol Hill with her local congressman; he eventually introduced her to House Speaker and veteran representative Tip O'Neill. "The speaker looked at me, then reached over and patted my head," Sandberg recalls. "He turned to the congressman and remarked 'she's pretty.' Then he turned his attention back to me and asked just one question: 'Are you a pom-pom girl?'"
Sandberg replied that she was too busy studying to get involved in the frivolous stuff, to which O'Neill simply gave her another pat and walked away. Like many of us who think of the perfect comeback line long after the fact, Sandberg writes now how she wishes she replied at the time: "If Tip O'Neill were alive today," she says, "I might tell him I'm a pom-pom girl for feminism"

The Salvation Army's 2012 Red Kettle Campaign is in full swing, with the familiar bell ringers manning kettle collection stations at stores throughout the Mid-Ohio Valley.
Salvation Army officials say the fundraiser is especially important for those in need this year.
Marietta's Salvation Army hopes to raise at least $50,000 through this year's local kettle campaign, according to Capt. Kathy Dorchak.
Article Photos
SAM SHAWVER The Marietta Times
Steelers fan Dennis Bahen of Beverly places a donation in the red kettle station manned by bell ringer Mary Harris at the Marietta Kmart Tuesday morning.
"A lot of people think the kettle campaign is just for Christmas, but it's really our major source of funding for the whole year," she said. "It's been a bit slow so far, but I think we'll do good this year."
And the need is great for the holidays this year, too, Dorchak said, noting the Salvation Army has picked up many families and individuals that received Christmas assistance from Washington-Morgan Community Action Agency in the past.
She said due to cuts in state funding the agency is not able to provide as much help as in previous years.
Fact Box
How to help
What: Salvation Army "Fill the Truck" new toys and coats drive for area children in need.
Where: Marietta Walmart on Pike Street.
When: Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Details: Participating shoppers will receive a list of suggested gifts to fill a collection bin at the store. Once the receptacle is full, the donations will be taken to the Salvation Army at 136 Front St. in Marietta where the gifts will be distributed to children in need in time for Christmas.
"We have approximately 200 families already signed up for Christmas assistance this year, and the requests are still coming in, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily-it's crazy," said Rebecca Place, social worker with the Salvation Army.
Place said the Salvation Army receives no state funding, and relies entirely on donations, which makes efforts like the kettle campaign and Angel Trees placed in area stores that much more important.
"And we try not to turn anyone away," she said.
The Angel Trees are trimmed with paper ornaments describing gifts requested by needy children from the local area. Shoppers can take an ornament or two and purchase the gifts which will be picked up and distributed by the Salvation Army.
"But we also provide food and help pay utility bills all year," Place said. "And we have at least four or five people weekly who come in needing somewhere to stay because they've been put out of their home."
She said that includes some homeless families.
"Some of these people have been sleeping in their cars," Place said. "So we may pay hotel bills to provide them with a place to stay."
The skies were threatening rain Tuesday morning as Rob Gilmore, 37, stood just outside the west entrance to the Marietta Walmart, ringing his bell and greeting everyone-donors and non-donors alike-with a "Merry Christmas" or "God bless you."
"I'm partially disabled due to my eyesight, so this is a seasonal job for me, but I really enjoy it, and it's for a very good cause," he said. "We probably receive most of our total donations through our stations at Walmart every year."
Although Tuesday's weather was a little wet, Gilmore, of Marietta, appreciated the warm temperatures, noting he's served on some much colder days.
"You have to plan ahead what you're going to wear-that's the biggest deal for bell ringers," he said. "And I always wear a comfortable pair of sneakers."
Gilmore also keeps a heavy coat handy in case the weather turns bad.
He said people have been generous this year, and many have told him how they've been helped by the Salvation Army in the past.
At the opposite Walmart entrance Chris Holder, 28, and Douglas Clark, 37, both of Marietta, were taking donations at another red kettle station. This is their first year serving as bell ringers.
"I think the best thing about this is that we're helping a lot of kids out at Christmas," Holder said. "I have a 4-year-old at home, so I know how much the Salvation Army helps."
Clark agreed.
"Sometimes we get exhausted or it's cold, but it's worth it when you see little kids dropping money into the kettle and saying 'Merry Christmas,'" he said. "And you meet a lot of nice people, especially veterans who like to stop and talk about some of their experiences."
Mary Harris, 66, of Marietta said she's been a bellringer for the Salvation Army off and on for many years.
"I started when I was 12 or 13 years old and rang the bells then so I could get some Christmas for my brother and sister," she said. "Now it's something I do mainly to get out of the house."
Unable to stand for long periods of time, Harris keeps a portable seat near her post at the Marietta Kmart, but said she loves being a bellringer.
"It makes me happy, and I know it's making a lot of little kids happy, too," she said.
When the weather turns icy, Harris said the key is to wear layers and layers of clothing.
"A couple of years ago it got pretty cold," she said. "The wind chill was below zero. So the stores let us stand just inside the doors during those times."
Across Pike Street at Kroger Marietta residents Brittany Daugherty, 17, and Dee Wheeler, 43, were manning the red kettle station.
"It's my first time as a bellringer-and it's harder than it looks-especially when it's cold," said Daugherty. "The first Saturday after Thanksgiving it was pretty cold here."
This is Wheeler's first year with the red kettle campaign, too.
"We're here for eight hours a day, but it's not too bad when there's someone here to help out," she said. "It gets a little tough when there's only one person at the station. But we have a lot of fun, too, and the people who donate are so nice. We always thank them, but sometimes they thank us, too, just for being here."

Police say man knocked out Walmart loss prevention officer
Published: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 8:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 8:57 p.m.
Police say a Spartanburg man punched a loss prevention officer at the Dorman Centre Walmart on Wednesday.
Jeffrey David Haga, 32, of 310 Rosecrest Road, was charged with strong arm robbery and third-degree assault and battery, according to arrest warrants.
An incident report states that the loss prevention officer saw Haga put a pair of pants, sunglasses, an antenna adapter, batters and a knife set under his coat. When the loss prevention officer confronted him, Haga punched him and fought with him until a public safety officer in the store assisted in detaining him, the report states.
Haga remained at the Spartanburg County Detention Facility Thursday on a $20,000 bond.

The sky is falling in Eagle. Lions and tigers and low tax revenue, oh my...
The proponents of ERS want us to believe that the Eagle will dry up and blow away if this massive development is not passed. Heck, not even the turkey vultures or coyotes will be able to eek out a living. We should all be prepared to load up the wagon and ride off into the sunset.
Now I've heard a radio spot with our old friend Roxie touting the merits of ERS in which she points out how she has been on the town council forever and served as mayor for almost as long. I must surmise that she is admitting what an inept job she has done for all those years that our only way out is to approve ERS.
And what about our town manager? He's been here forever too. Are we to believe that he has done such a deplorable job as manager that we cannot survive as a town without ERS? If so, he should resign immediately out of pure shame.
Fortunately, I have confidence that my neighbors can see through these ridiculous scare tactics and point RED Development back to Kansas City from which they came, I'm sure Dorothy and Toto are waiting for them there.

Friends embark on a Caribbean cruise to Mayan ruins prior to Christmas. They joke that the trip's price might be halved because the ship wouldn't be returning to port.
The Mayan calendar is misconstrued by many to predict the world's end on Dec. 21. Those hyping this end-time scenario expect a killer solar flare may fry the Earth. Or, a geomagnetic reversal of gravity may flip inhabitants off the world.
The Mayan empire stretched from southern Mexico to Honduras during A.D. 250-900. They designed what archeologists dub a "long count" calendar. Unfortunately, it ends in 2012.
What doomsday enthusiasts forget is that this calendar is cyclical. After running its course, another Mayan calendar kicks in. Consequently, the end really isn't that near.
Scholars tell us the "long count" calendar's first cycle has 5,126 years. Mayans believed this calendar began in 3114 B.C. (according to our contemporary Georgian calendar). Use simple math to calculate the world's end. The years from 3114 B.C. to A.D. 2012 add up to 5,126 years, which marks the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere when the day is the shortest. What a chilly forecast!
Other religious traditions center on end-times besides the Mayans. The four Sundays prior to Christmas encompass Advent season at the start of the Christian year. Advent is derived from the Latin word "adventus," which means to come, to arrive.
Christians focus on Christ's coming at Bethlehem and at the world's end. Preachers in the Middle Ages offered sermons during Advent Sundays on themes of heaven, hell, the Great Judgment and Christ's second coming.
Fear filled peasants' lives when hearing such sermons. Their consternation about the end wasn't unlike how Monticello slave Isaac Granger Jefferson felt when British Redcoats' cannon fire lit up Richmond, Va., on Jan. 5, 1781. Isaac saw familiar dwellings blown up. His voice trembling, this slave saw the British "formed in line and marched up to the palace with drums beating; it was an awful sight - seemed like the Day of Judgment was come."
What's a mature, helpful response to this end-times mania?
Be suspicious of Christians who find specific biblical clues about the future. Semitic biblical authors habitually used picture language. Their guesses about the future don't predict. They surmise. These writers refrain from setting dates. Rather, they expected history to unfold on an upward sloping line leading to Christ, not chaos.
They shared the confidence the British displayed when the Nazi blitz bombed London in 1940. With sirens screaming of another attack, Brits ran towards the tubes (the subway) for shelter. Posters with the caption, "Be calm and carry on," reminded them to replace anxiety with concerted action against the enemy.
Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who was wrong justifying the war in Iraq, is right about not being on target in predicting the next terrorist strike. His weirdly entitled memoir, "Known and Unknown," stumbles on what's true about terror and the end times. Rumsfeld admits terrorists are difficult to figure out because of the "known knowns" and the "known unknowns."
Teacher of preachers Thomas G. Long sifts through this gobbledygook and suggests Rumsfeld overlooks the "most perilous ingredient of all: 'presumed knowns,' things we think we know but do not."
Mayans and Christians share Rumsfeld's uncertainty about what lurks in the future. We flat out don't know. "Set your troubled hearts at rest," counseled Jesus when his imminent death crushed the disciples' world (John 14:1). We are calmed as we carry on by leading honorable lives instead of investing in kooky end-time predictions.
Thomas Jefferson wrote a letter on Dec. 11, 1783, to his 11-year-old daughter Martha about forecasting the apocalypse. Colonial evangelists, terrified by a huge earthquake, scared her with end-time predictions. "I hope you will have good sense enough," counseled Jefferson, "to disregard those foolish predictions that the world is to be at an end soon. The Almighty has never made known to anybody at what time he created it, nor will he tell anybody when he will put an end to it, if he ever means to do it. As to preparations for that event, the best way is ... never to say or do a bad thing."
Don't let curiosity about what's coming down the pike unnerve you. Don't spend time speculating. Respect the Bible's insistence that even the angels don't know when the end comes. Rather, do the best you can with tasks God gives. Press on in service. Don't panic.
Life's meaning isn't bound by extravagant, far-out hypotheses about the future. Life hangs together when we invest in good lives.
Quaker theologian D. Eldon Trueblood had it right about dealing with what we can't fathom about the future. "A person has at least made a start on discovering the meaning of human life," advised Trueblood, "when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit."
Breathe deeply. Quell anxiety. Work hard. Don't worry about the future, which is ours to inherit but God's to control.
The Rev. Jack R. Van Ens is a Presbyterian minister who heads the nonprofit, tax-exempt Creative Growth (www.thelivinghistory.com), which enhances Christian worship through storytelling and dramatic presentations.

Clemson's Dixon becoming all-around threat for Tigers
Published: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 10:25 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 10:25 p.m.
Clemson guard Nikki Dixon is still called upon to do what her role was originally imagined to be in locking up an opponent's top scorer, but what wasn't expected was that she'd be the main Tiger that foes would look to shut down.
Up next
Clemson's women (5-12, 1-5 ACC) host No. 4 Duke (16-1, 6-0) on Thursday at 7 p.m. It's the second time in two weeks the two teams have met with the Blue Devils using a 22-0 run early in the second half leading to a 82-45 win. The last time the Tigers won this matchup was a 93-75 upset of third-ranked Duke on Dec. 9, 2000, a stretch of 16 consecutive losses.
At least not this early and to the extreme the 5-foot-10 sophomore from Alpharetta, Ga., instantly emerged last year as an offensive force. Dixon's still her team's most solid defender in addition to a bevy of other intangibles that are far greater than one would expect just halfway through her second ACC season.
"She has the ability to fill a stat sheet," Clemson coach Itoro Coleman said. "When she's not scoring she's stealing the ball or she's rebounding and passing. She's just one of those players who has a good feel for the game. It mostly comes from how hard she works and how bad she wants it."
When Coleman went to watch her future star in high school she witnessed a player who would be assigned the best opposing offensive playmaker. Dixon was and is a long-armed defender with ball-hawking ability to disrupt passing lanes while not being afraid to mix it up in the paint and crash the glass on both ends.
But Dixon turned out to be far greater than just a hard-nosed defender possessing those crucial intangibles that can sometimes go unnoticed while doing all the little things that help teams win. She has kept all those principles while proving she can simply flat out score.
In some regards she's a taller version of former Spartanburg High and Clemson guard Lele Hardy, who forged her reputation as a sneaky-fast burglar without quite the immediate scoring punch that Dixon has provided. Last season Dixon became the first freshman to lead Clemson in scoring since Chrissy Floyd in 2003 and just the fifth one ever. She started 27 of 28 games and also led the team with 2.6 steals per game. She finished third among the Tigers in both assists (2.5) and rebounding (4.1) and was named to the All-ACC Freshmen team.
"I wasn't surprised because coach (Coleman) allowed me to turn my defense into offense and to score from that," Dixon said. "She expected a lot from me defensively and I really enjoyed scoring off of steals and just playing hardcore defense and doing anything I had to do to get the ball back.
"I knew coming into college the girls were huge, but its different when you are standing next to them and seeing just how much bigger they really are. Going against these women I had to have a big heart. I take a lot of pride in having the ability to do different things like what the post players do. But I take the majority of pride in my defense because without that I probably wouldn't be the player I am."
She's continued improving on what she did last year in keeping her stat lines chock full of goodness in picking up right where she left off and expanding on it. She once again leads the Tigers with 14.3 points per game (eighth in the ACC), a number that jumps to 16.2 in conference play. She also leads the team in steals at 2.4 (fifth in the league) while ranking third in rebounding (4.4 per), assists (28) and blocked shots (12).
She has reached double-figure scoring in 11 of her last 12 outings, including a seven-point loss to North Carolina on Dec. 30 when she surpassed 500 career points.
"I challenged myself in the weight room this summer to basically rebuild myself physically and get as strong as some of the great players out there," Dixon said. "I believe I'm definitely a different player this year because I learned so much as a freshman and the coaches helped me see things I couldn't last season so I'm now a better person, athlete and player out there."
Dixon arrived this fall with a newly-formed mid-range jumper that has made her an even more dangerous scorer although she has turned the ball over a whopping 68 times and is shooting only 5 of 36 (14 percent) from 3-point range.
"A lot of those turnovers come from hustle plays where she's trying to create for others and I can live with those," Coleman said. "She can get herself in trouble stopping and popping from the 3-point line on fast breaks when she knows that's not a good percentage shot for her."
Using her already impressive achievements as a barometer there appears to be little doubt Dixon will fix those negatives.
"As a player I get after it regardless of whether it's practice or a game," Dixon said. "Stepping in here at first I didn't know what to expect so impacting Clemson as much as I have already is a great feeling."

Replication of Leuchter's findings
7.90 Irving contended that the results of the chemical test conducted on behalf of Leuchter had been replicated by amongst others Gelmar Rudolf, a chemist at the Max Planck Institute. Van Pelt knew little of his report but agreed that Rudolf's findings broadly corresponded with those of Leuchter. Irving produced a letter from the Institute for Historical Review which claimed that others had arrived at similar conclusions. He also claimed (and van Pelt accepted) that in about 1989 the Auschwitz authorities carried out tests which also found high cyanide traces in the delousing chambers and much lower quantities in crematoria 2 and 3. The results of these tests were not published. Subsequently further tests were conducted and the results were published in the so-called Markievicz report (the conclusions of which I have already summarised).

VAIL - Taft Conlin's family is suing Vail Resorts, saying the company's negligence created an "avalanche trap" that killed him.
The family filed a wrongful death lawsuit after months of trying to convince the ski company and U.S. Forest Service to talk about changes that could improve skier safety, they said.
A Forest Service investigation report said that Vail Resorts complied with its operating procedures and Forest Service permit requirements. A Colorado Avalanche Information Center report said Conlin and other skiers entered Lower Prima Cornice through an open gate, sidestepped up 120 feet and traversed around to the south when the avalanche engulfed them. That report also said that a skier or rider not a part of Taft's group may have triggered the avalanche since there were multiple tracks in the area, but there was no way to determine that for sure.
"We've wanted from the beginning to discuss this in terms of public safety in the future. We've tried that without litigation," said Dr. Louise Ingalls, Conlin's mother.
"I'm taking these steps for Taft, for the boys he was skiing with and for the public who skis. I felt it could be done differently," Ingalls said. "There are changes that could be made to make it safer kids and for all skiers."
Conlin was killed Jan. 22, when he was swept away by an avalanche on Prima Cornice, in-bounds on the front of Vail Mountain.
Vail Resorts declined to comment about the lawsuit filed Tuesday in District Court in Broomfield, where the ski company's corporate offices are located.
"We are reviewing the lawsuit and do not have any further comment," said Kelly Ladyga, Vail Resorts director of corporate communications.
Colorado law caps wrongful death awards at $250,000 for children, so they're not in it for the money, said Jim Heckbert, the family's attorney. Ingalls and Dr. Stephen Conlin are local veterinarians.
"The object is to keep other parents from having to go through this," Ingalls said. "It's such a difficult thing. I've had so many people who've lost children reach out to me."
It's been emotional, and Ingalls said she expects the lawsuit shall be, as well.
"I've thought about the emotional side of it, standing up to a big corporation," she said.
The accusations
The family's lawsuit alleges that the ski company should have known that the Prima Cornice trail was dangerous and, based on information from the Colorado Avalanche Information Center, that an avalanche was likely.
"The Vail Corporation had a duty to warn skiers of those areas within its boundary ... which it knew posed an avalanche hazard," the lawsuit alleges.
The ski company's failure to warn skiers was, "dangerous, done heedlessly, recklessly and without regard to consequences," the lawsuit says.
The ski company originally asserted that Conlin accessed Prima Cornice Trail by cutting under a rope, the lawsuit says.
"The Vail Corporation ... knew that the statement that Taft M. Conlin had entered the Prima Cornice Trail by going under a rope was false," the lawsuit says.
The ski company made that statement to "conceal the fact that The Vail Corporation recklessly failed to close the 'lower entrance gate' to the Prima Cornice Trail ... and by that act invited skiers, including Taft M. Conlin, to enter the Prima Cornice Trail, even though the company knew that the conditions constituted "an avalanche trap."
Heckbert said the family has been forced to go through the court system
"They want to create some change," he said. "Our position is that there were two gates. Vail closed the top gate, knowing that it constituted an avalanche trap."
Their lawsuit asks for a jury trial.
"I've been trying cases since 1974 and I'd rather allow eight reasonable citizens to decide. The cumulative wisdom of a jury is outstanding," Heckbert said.
Heckbert has crossed swords with Vail Resorts before. He represented Ashley Stamp's family when the Steamboat Springs girl was killed when she was struck by a snowmobile on Vail Mountain. Stamp was in Vail for a ski race.
Vail Resorts has 21 days from Tuesday to file a response. Just over a month after that, the two sides will be required to begin giving each other information about the incident.
"Vail has ski patrol photos and reports, and witness reports," Heckbert said. "There were other people on that run besides Taft and the people skiing with him. They have to give that up."
After that, they two sides start taking depositions.
On Jan. 22, around 1 p.m., Conlin was on his telemark skis when he and five young skiers passed through an open gate in the Lower Prima Cornice area looking for fresh snow. Several others had already skied into the area that day, after one of last winter's rare storms dropped new snow.
A rope blocked the gate at the top of the Prima Cornice run, a report by the Colorado Avalanche Information Center said.
Three of those skiers sidestepped about 120 feet up the hill and to the south. Vail Resorts has said the run was closed, but does not say where the skiers cross from the open area to the closed area.
When the avalanche released, two skiers made it to safety, skiing down to the bottom of the Northwoods Express to get help, the Avalanche Center report said.
But the avalanche caught Conlin and carried him through a spruce forest until he came to rest against a tree, upside down.
Coroner Kara Bettis ruled that Conlin was killed by blunt force trauma - blows to his chest. He did not suffocate, she said.
Prior to Conlin's death, the only other time a skier had died in an avalanche while skiing on an open trail inside a Colorado ski area was May 2005, the lawsuit says.
Another skier was killed in-bounds last season at Winter Park, however, and the wife of that skier has also filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the Denver-owned ski area's operator, Intrawest.

News 12 This Morning / Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2012
AIKEN COUNTY, S.C. -- Head injuries can happen anytime, anywhere. In sports, athletes are at risk for concussions every time they step onto the field.
The Georgia Health Sciences University Sports Medicine program provides athletic trainers to high schools in Aiken County.
They are the first in the area to use technology to help diagnose head injuries on the field. It's an app that you can get on your iPad, iPhone and iPod called SCAT 2, the sport concussion assessment tool. Thanks to the app, trainers can have all the information they need available on the field with them.
Caleb Glenn is a senior at Midland Valley High School. He plays baseball and football and earlier this year got a concussion.
"I went up to hit, I was squaring around for a bunt, and he threw a ball at my head and I turned around, bent my head and the ball caught me right there," he explained.
Instead of going to the hospital, Glenn was taken into the dugout.
"After I went into the dugout, she pulled out her iPhone and started doing some tests," he said.
They were quickly able to diagnose him with a concussion using the app. It allows them to run cognitive tests, balance tests, recall tests and more on the sidelines.
"Instead of waiting three or four hours after the concussion to go to the hospital and get tested, they were right there," Glenn said. "They can tell you how bad it is, whether you need to go to the hospital, how long you're gonna be out. Stuff like that."
"It's pretty much an all encompassing tool that gives you a quick sideline assessment about the severity of the injury," added Midland Valley Athletic Trainer Ashle Cooper.
She keeps the app with her at all times on her iPhone, iPad or iPod.
"You just run them through the whole test, and it calculates all the scores," she explained. "It's immediate."
That immediacy is crucial to figuring out how to treat the athlete.
"Having that is very, very valuable because kids with concussions are gonna react differently at different times," Glenn said. "If you're missing that first component, it's more difficult to put the whole puzzle together."
For Glenn, it was his second concussion and something he says can happen to anyone anytime you step onto the field.
"There's a possibility you could get one every time you're on the field," he said. "You never know what someone else is gonna do. You can't control it. You just gotta do what you gotta do to be safe."
So far this year, Midland Valley has seen four concussions on the field.
Georgia Health Sciences University is working to develop a Sport Concussion Center where athletes can go after they have been injured. There will be sports medicine staff and neurologists working to better address concussions and their effects.

Failing to provide your muscles with the nutrients needed to refuel glycogen stores can blunt all of your efforts in the gym. With WAXYBOLIC™ this will never be a concern – the rapid absorption and pulse dispersion of this supercarbohydrate allows you to stabilize your training efforts and maximize the recovery process.
The "supercarbs" in WAXYBOLIC™ help to prevent large insulin spikes. This ensures that your blood glucose levels remain stable for your entire workout so your body stays out of fat- storing mode. To further support these effects, WAXYBOLIC's™ supercarbs also have the capability for facilitating thermogenesis, which helps burn fat as you train.
The Waxy Maize Distarch Phosphate and Hydrolyzed Waxy Maize starches speed through regular digestion in the stomach and are instantly assimilated in your intestines and delivered to your hungry muscle cells. WAXYBOLIC™ also shuttles vital nutrients such as creatine, amino acids, and cell-volumizing elements to your muscle cells for optimal recovery.
WAXYBOLIC™ is made from an unflavoured blend so that it can be added seamlessly with any pre-workout, post workout, protein supplement or any other supplement stack you've got in your arsenal. You don't have to sacrifice taste for results because you won't even notice flavour-neutral WAXYBOLIC.™ Unlike "old school" waxy maize supplement, WAXYBOLIC™ mixes instantly to maintain a smooth and nourishing shake.
Stack with protein or BCAA supplement for optimal pre and post workout carb-loading and training efficieny.
Waxy Maize Hydroxypropyl Distarch Phosphate or "Waxy Maize HDP" is part of a new generation of "supercarbs" that helps fuel explosive workouts. Not only does this amazing carbohydrate support enhanced weight-lifting endurance and prolonged support for your glycogen system, it has also demonstrated thermogenic properties. This means that in addition to providing your muscles with critical energy during anaerobic exercise, Waxy Maize HDP also raises your body's core temperature, helping to increase fat-burning during your workout.
Diet is the most important aspect of bodybuilding. If you get it just right you can build muscle and lose fat at an astonishing rate. But engineered supplements can often go beyond what regular food can do on its own. For example, did you know that you'd have to eat 2.2 pounds of red meat just to obtain 5 grams of creatine? Supplements allow you to maximize the effects of your training in a way that cannot be matched with ordinary food. WAXYBOLIC™ can optimize your carb nutrition in a way that is more efficient than consuming regular food energy.
WAXYBOLIC™ combines the sustained energy of complex carbohydrates and rapid absorption of simple sugars, without the disadvantages associated with each. With this innovative formula you won't have to worry about bloating or a rapid rise and fall of insulin levels. This state is the perfect anabolic environment for gaining lean muscle. WAXYBOLIC™ also contains hi-tech supercarbs like Waxy Maize Hydroxypropyl Diphosphate, which is nicknamed "Waxyburn" for its thermogenic effects - you won't find this in the vast majority of food-based carbs! When you're on WAXYBOLIC,™ you'll be shattering records and redefining your genetics.
There's a reason why this supplement is used by champion bodybuilders, MMA fighters, top trainers, and professional sports players worldwide. Not all carbohydrates are sufficient for optimizing the glycogen system's performance. Simple sugars and other "empty" calories may give you an initial energy boost but they leave you sluggish shortly afterwards. What your body really needs are complex carbohydrates that mimic the ease of absorption that comes with simple carbohydrates. Nutrabolics researchers have successfully engineered a unique hybrid carbohydrate matrix that meets these demands with WAXYBOLIC.™
Clinical trials have shown that the key components of WAXYBOLIC™ provide powerful ergogenic effects, allowing athletes to perform drastically more work during exercise. The unique carbohydrate matrix delivers both instant energy and a second wave of carbs that kicks in shortly after the first wave enters the bloodstream. This unique "pulse loading" is what makes WAXYBOLIC™ truly in a class of its own. The inclusion of Hydrolized Rice Syrup, which contains both short- and long-chain carbohydrates, ensures a powerful and sustained release to your muscle and liver glycogen storage areas.
Your body needs quality carbs to perform and recover between exercise. Because carbs are so critical it doesn't matter about your sport, your size, or your skill level; any athlete can benefit from integrating WAXYBOLIC™ into their training.
One of the Greatest. Mixes just as advertised, Tasteless, i tried it Pre, Post, Intra, and as meal replacement. Gave great pumps when used as an intra workout, and gave great uncompromised nutrition with ease. If you have the money, Buy it!
First carb product ive ever taken and i love it i take it with 2 scoops of ONs gold standard protein, seeing mass gains muscles looking fuller i highly recomend this product.
Just finished my tub of Waxybolic and I could not be anymore pleased, even after a gut wrenching workout where it felt as if I could not even move I would mix my Waxybolic with my selected protein and almost instantly I could feel my body start to recover! My body gets use to products quickly so I switch up Supplements after every bottle. But you better believe I will be using the Waxybolic supplement again soon!
Mixes very, very well, and is a true unflavored product with no foul or bitter taste. Within minutes you can feel the recovery, making hour long sessions feel like nothing.
Excellent carb supplement. Mix thoroughly a bit at a time or it will clump up.

text: 14 February 2012 archive See all show photos LAURA and Kate Mulleavy, the sisterly duo behind Rodarte, have dredged the versatile terrains of California - where they live and work - to use as impetus for their dazzling previous collections. Those shows contained warmth and personality, and channelled the Golden State's natural beauty and eccentricity with a meditative poignancy. This season, they abandoned their beloved homeland and looked towards Australia, and its rich history, for inspiration. The past two seasons have shown that the Mulleavys are striving to add commercial appeal to their earlier collections that, while intriguing, were limited in terms of pieces that customers could actually purchase. This season was surely their most retail-friendly venture yet, with shearling-lined leather jackets, chunky, cropped fisherman's sweaters, and a rust skirt-suit flaunting white, wide lapels. Bits of dreamy enterprise peeked through in some of their dresses, like a floor-length dress with cascading tiers of ruffles that mixed an aboriginal print with a lace collar - a mash up of two very different ideas of the land down under - while one languid dress appeared to be wrapped in tinsel like a Christmas tree. Some dresses, in a variety of nubbly fabrics like wool guipures or woven jacquards, had a boxier, relaxed cut with sloped shoulders, dolman sleeves, and exaggeratedly ladylike Victorian collars, while others in black and white leather were lean and strong. Another highlight of the show were the accessories, including star brooches buried in the models' tousled hair, and the debut of their own shoes, many with buckles and straps and lucite heels filled with sand. The Mulleavy sisters have made a strong impression on the fashion industry in a relatively short time, and it seems that they're looking to build a more grounded business without losing their quirky charms. This collection suggests that they're heading in a good direction, and lends a sense that whatever they conceive - commercial or not - will be steeped with wistful magic.

Medford police are searching for a man who claimed he was armed with a gun and robbed a salon on Saturday.
The man entered Salon Chic on North Riverside Avenue just after 4 p.m. and demanded money from the cash register. In addition, the man also robbed the lone female customer in the salon.
The suspect said he was armed, but it is unclear if he had a weapon in his possession at the time of the robbery.
After leaving the salon, the suspect fled south on Riverside Avenue and disappeared before police arrived.
The man is described as a Hispanic or white male, who stands approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall. He appeared to be in his late 20s or early 30s. He wore a black pea coat, bright shorts, white athletic shoes and white sunglasses.
His most distinguishing feature was his bald head that looked to be scarred in some way.
