Do it Yourself aka DIY is a great activity with friends for a summer's weekend. Just sip a glass of wine and do it DIY!
DIY 1: Friendship Bracelet Try the Braided Hex Nut Bracelet DIY by Honestly..WTF
You'll need:
3 strands of cotton butcher's twine cut into one yard pieces
18 small brass hex nuts
A bit of dexterity!
Gather the 3 strands of twine and tie a knot at the top, leaving about 2 inches of slack. Start braiding. At about an inch of the way down, you'll begin braiding in the nuts. Before you braid the far left strand over the middle strand, thread on a nut, push it against the base of the braid and crossover. Depending on the thickness of the twine, you can wrap tape around the bottom tips to prevent the twine from fraying. Keep your thumb at the base of the braid, holding the nut in its place. Before you braid the far right strand over the middle, thread on another nut, push it against the base of the braid and crossover. Again, hold your thumb tightly against the base of the braid, keeping the nuts in place. Thread another nut onto the far left piece and crossover. Repeat the steps, by threading the rest of the nuts to the outer pieces of twine before they are crossed over. Thread, cross, thread, cross. Finish the bracelet with another inch of braided twine and a knot. The bracelet should wrap around your wrist at least two or three times. Trim it to your liking.

DIY 2: Chain & Rhinestone Bracelet
If you want to add to your first friendship bracelet, here is a perfect match created by I Spy DIY
You'll need:
Gold and silver chain from M&J Trimming
Black Suede rope
Bracelet closure
Tie together the two pieces of chain (the two chains should be the same size links so they match up when weaving in the rope) with a double knot. Start by weaving together the first link of the chains. Place the rhinestones in between the two chains and begin weaving all three. Continue weaving down the chains, pulling the rope tightly between each link. Using your pliers, remove any extra links so all three chains line up. Double knot at the end. Tie the closures on each end. Trim excess rope.
Images via I Spy DIY
DIY 3: Studded Sneakers
Give personality to something simple! DIY by Honesty…WTF
You'll need:
A pair of sneakers
150–200 brass cone spikes
E6000 adhesive
A disposable container or popsicle stick
Start by squeezing a small amount of E6000 into a disposable container or onto a wooden popsicle stick. Dispensing a small amount at a time prevents the glue from drying too quickly. Using the tip of a toothpick, apply a small dollop of glue onto the back of a spike. Press the spike onto the sneaker, holding it in place for a few seconds. Continue adding spikes along the shoe's baseline and working upwards in horizontal lines. Arrange the spikes, without glue, into awkward spaces before attaching them. Glue spikes onto the heel cap, again working horizontally. Allow the shoes to dry overnight before wearing them!

The DIY soiree may turn into a friendship tradition so be prepared for the next one!

STOCKTON - Police are looking for two women in their 30s who robbed a man early Sunday when he refused to pay them to have sex with them.
According to police, the 31-year-old man was driving at Weber Avenue and Aurora Street about 3 a.m. when he saw a woman standing in the middle of Weber. The victim stopped, another woman opened his car door and both women got in.
They had a bottle of tequila and wanted him to pay them $50 to have sex. Police said the victim told them he only had $20 and said he didn't want to betray his wife, who is in Mexico. One of the women pulled out a knife and ordered the man to drive them to an address in the 600 block of East Oak Street.
All three went inside, police said, and the women stole the man's $20, along with his cellphone.

Some may consider this good news. Others might recoil in horror, suggesting we trigger the emergency alert system and put the National Guard on notice.
Either way, there's no denying it: The Furby is back.
Lest you forget, the original Furby was a fuzzy interactive robotic pet, the hottest must-have toy of the late 1990s. More than 40 million sold back then, and they've been widely loved and/or mocked through the years.
And now, just in time for the holidays, Furbys have regrouped and massed for attack. In Hasbro's 2012 Furby reboot, the seemingly harmless puffball looks pretty much the same -- a monstrous Frankenstein-style mash-up with the ears of the Mogwai critters from the "Gremlins" movies, the furry bodies of neon Ewoks and the beak of Mr. Owl from the Tootsie Pop commercials. The new Furbys -- on "hot toy" lists at Toys R Us and Target -- are slightly bigger with liquid crystal eyes, "unpredictable" reactions and an accompanying Furby smartphone app in which you can feed them hamburgers or ice cream and they'll make yummy noises or roll their eyes when they're too full. They can also interact with others of their species, no doubt facilitating their evil plot for world domination.
Oh, and they now cost more than twice as much: $54.
"Furby is a toy that generates a very black-or-white response," said Dave Banks, GeekDad blogger on Wired.com who listed the upgraded Furby on his 2012 holiday gift guide. "Some people absolutely love it, spending hours interacting with it and teaching it behavior and language. Others see Furby as evidence of a physical manifestation of evil and want to douse it in gasoline and burn it with cleansing fire.
"If you've spent any real time with Furby, there's not a lot of in between," he said.
Indeed, there are Furby fan clubs, but also "Furby Must Die!" websites. Furbys could always dance to music and even speak in their own language, "Furbish," gradually picking up English words from their owners. To the consternation of parents everywhere, the original version had no "off" button -- and they still don't -- so you had to stuff them in a closet for a while to get them to shut up. They were so chatty that, in 1999, Furbys were reportedly banned by the Norfolk Naval Shipyard and the Pentagon, based on the fear that the dolls would mimic top-secret discussions. Manufacturers insisted to The Washington Post that "Furby is not a spy."
National security risks aside, toy industry experts say Furby's original success stemmed from two factors: nothing like it had ever been done, and it was about $25. Those things have changed.
"Fast-forward 14 years, I think the new Furby has challenges," said Sean McGowan, longtime toy industry analyst for Needham on Wall Street. "Obviously, something like it has been done before, and nearly $60 is a lot of money for a toy. Retailers seem to be supporting it pretty well, but consumers may balk."
Other retro toys are getting a 21st-century upgrade, too. There are new versions of Twister, more elaborate Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures, and a new crop of Cabbage Patch Kids. The Toy Retailers Association calls this classic toy comeback, "nostalgia with a twist."
At Time Tunnel Toys in San Jose, which buys, sells and trades vintage toys and collectibles, Joe Castro says they have two vintage Furbys in the original packages. "They do not have a high collector value," he said, adding that Furbys definitely needed an upgrade. "Now almost all toys have some form of electronics or computers in them -- children now expect toys to interact with them since they play with iPhones, iPads and video games almost exclusively."
Looking at the toys for the 2012 holiday season, "I'd guess there are pretty good odds that Furby ends up being one of the most popular," Banks said. "We'll have to see. I'm just looking forward to taking one apart!"

No News is Good News
A company's good reputation is thought to shield it in times of trouble that's one of the reasons many firms undertake corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs. By investing in a local community or implementing eco-friendly practices, the firm builds up a reservoir of good will.
"CSR activities are viewed as insurance policies," says Professor Stephan Meier. "If a firm faces a product recall or a labor dispute, a good reputation can shield it from the fallout." At the same time, when crises occur at companies with positive public images such as when Toyota faced concerns about sticky accelerator pedals in 2010 it risks being viewed as hypocritical. "When that happens," Meier says, "all of the good will the company built can actually backfire." The media attention paid to a crisis has a huge impact on how the crisis and the firm is perceived by the investors, shareholders, and customers.
Meier worked with Columbia Business School PhD candidate Jiao Luo and Felix Oberholzer-Gee of Harvard to determine how a company's CSR affects media coverage of a negative event. They used data from the National Response Center (NRC), a federal office under the United States Coast Guard, that focused on oil spills from 2001 to 2007 among the 20 largest U.S. oil companies. Oil companies, such as BP and Exxon, are good examples of the effects of CSR on media coverage because they frequently face environmental slip-ups and vary considerably in their CSR efforts and reputations. Perhaps the best example of an oil firm pursuing CSR is BP. The company launched its "Beyond Petroleum" campaign in 2000 to position itself as environmentally friendly. The campaign highlighted the company's investment in renewable energy, such as its 1999 purchase of solar energy company Solarex. By contrast, Exxon is not generally perceived as environmentally responsible by the public and has not tried to position itself as green.
The researchers searched for news coverage of the spills found in the NRC database using the LexisNexis media database. They also considered the influence of public relations by controlling for how often each oil company was in the news for non-spill related stories.
Their investigation yielded intriguing results: being too dirty or too clean can get a firm into trouble. The media reported more on accidents if they occurred at a company with a strong CSR reputation and record than at a company with an average CSR reputation. Meanwhile, the tone of news coverage was no less critical for organizations with a greener reputation. This suggests that rather than acting as a form of insurance, adopting CSR practices can be a liability.
However, firms with significant past environmental problems were also more likely than firms with average CSR reputations to find their negative events in the news. For instance, despite a dismal safety record, BP suffered considerable fallout from the Gulf Coast oil spill in 2010 because of their green image campaign, which, after the spill, was dismissed as hypocritical. Exxon also received a large amount of negative press when any spill occurred, in large part because of its known history of large spills such as the 1989 Valdez spill. Both received more negative media coverage than oil companies that engage in some CSR efforts. The effects of negative headlines often reverberate far from the front page. Bad press can lead to a damaged reputation and, in turn, the potential to hurt a company's bottom line or invite increased regulatory scrutiny and fines.
The takeaway for firms across industries: choosing to undertake CSR activities is complicated, and it's crucial to consider all ramifications, including media response, if crises occur. That outlook also has consequences for policymakers trying to encourage more firms to engage in CSR efforts the increased media attention paid to CSR laggards creates an incentive to invest in CSR activities, though only to a point. If a company chooses to engage in CSR efforts, it needs to have a firm understanding of its reputation to understand the potential consequences if the firm faces a crisis especially one that directly reflects on an area of CSR focus for the company.
"Executives need to be careful in thinking about the not-so-obvious consequences that CSR can bring," Meier advises. "It makes the cost-benefit analysis of being socially responsible a bit more complicated, but media reaction is crucial to consider. It's about finding the right balance for each company."

Commissioners should promote Wood County
January 13, 2013
My past experience as a county commissioner tells me that cutting back on Thursday meeting days is a mistake both politically and practically....
A list of Bob's failures! How nice of you to point them out, but you left many out. Why didn't you get all this started when you were in office? You could have seen that the bell yoke was fixed when you seen it, took care of the records room...had you done your part you would be in office!
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
WOW..I did not know all of the Thunderbolt. But I do agree a commissioner should be working every day in the court house if they are getting full time pay.
3 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
All good and said, but, are you not one of the commissioners that spent good tax dollars in traveling to Japan searching for business and ideas/ lets examine that, oh yes, you and Newell came up with a farmers market. How many thousands did that cost Wood County. How many business people did you talk to, this is a perfect example of hypocritical back seat driving. I would guess Mr. Tebay is lining himself up for another run at commissioner. Wood County does not need anymore good ole boy politicians.

Those are excellent ideas! Getting a full time 40,000 salary, they should be working every day rather than cutting meetings

So much food, so little space.
Considering the average human stomach can only hold about a liter of food, it's important to go into food events like this weekend's Gourmet on Gore in Vail with either a plan of attack or enough patience to see what everyone is serving before you make a decision about what to consume.
In other words, don't show up starving. You'd hate to waste precious room on something standard when the booth down the street is serving up a dish that's even more creative and delicious.
"Pick your battles for sure," recommends Paul Anders, the executive chef at both Sweet Basil and Mountain Standard.
This is one crusade you're likely to crush. Gourmet on Gore kicks off Friday evening with the Tasting Tour. The open-air tasting takes place Saturday and Sunday. Monday's tasting, dubbed Brunch on Bridge Street, has a breakfast theme. Here's a sneak peek of what local chefs are cooking up this week for this Labor Day weekend tradition.
Dessert first
Life is short, so we should eat dessert first, right? Well maybe not every day, but it's OK to make an exception once in a while, and Batter Cupcakes has us covered. Owner Liz Rackoff, participating in the festival for the sixth year, is taking advantage of the plethora of ripe Palisade peaches weighing down orchards of trees west of here for the Palisade peach pie cupcakes.
"Our handmade Palisade peach compote is so delicious because it lets the fruit shine on its own," Rackoff said. "We enhance those natural flavors with our buttery vanilla cake, Philadelphia cream cheese frosting and handmade pie crumble topping. Come early on Saturday and Sunday and you can find these little peach gems, served with smile."
And don't miss the "Fat Elvis," Batter's tribute to The King.
"Folklore says he loved peanut butter and banana sandwiches," Rackoff said. "It is controversial whether or not he added bacon to these infamous sandwiches, but we trust that he did. Look for our version of Elvis' guilty pleasure on Saturday — fresh banana cake, marshmallow buttercream filling and peanut butter frosting, garnished with candied cayenne bacon."
The Sweet Basil booth, outside the restaurant, might be a good place to head to next. Chef Anders likes to serve street-food inspired eats that are portable at festivals such as this one. On the menu for Saturday and Sunday are confit duck tacos with jicama kimchee and fresno chili peppers.
Over at Mountain Standard, chefs are stoking the wood-fired rotisserie for porchetta — a stuffed, boneless pork roast.
"It's a very traditional approach to doing porchetta," Anders said. "The classic way to serve it is the day after, to do a sandwich out of it."
That's just what they'll serve, porchetta sandwiches with fennel agrodolce — an Italian sweet and sour sauce — and smoked mayonnaise.
Larkspur returns to the festival again, serving crispy beef tacos on Saturday and crispy fish tacos on Sunday. They'll have two sweet options each day as well: Mini chocolate chip cookies and chocolate cayenne brownies.
Swiss Chalet is staying true to its Bavarian roots and serving "Krautkrapfen mit Apfelmus." Not sure what that is? Don't worry, we asked.
Sauerkraut, bacon bits and melted onions are wrapped in pasta dough and served with apple sauce.
Feeling like something with an Asian flair? Matsuhisa is back this year with a Japanese tuna poke in lettuce cups with hearts of palm. If you prefer your seafood cooked, they'll also have a seared scallop with truffle cauliflower puree.
'Come back for more'
The Fitz Lounge is taking part in Gourmet on Gore for the first time this year. Executive chef Weston Schroeder and Eric Berggren, chef de cuisine, will serve smoky barbecue baby back ribs with a charred Olathe sweet corn succotash at Masters Gallery in Vail Village on Friday night during the Tasting Tour. And on Saturday, expect more pork, specifically toasted-coriander barbecue glazed pork belly with Brussels sprout cole slaw with a side dish of sweet-and-spicy pork belly baked beans on Saturday.
"After one sample they'll want to come back for more," said Nicole Martin, the Lord Gore's social media and electronic marketing manager.
There's a Cajun influence at play in the Vail Marriott's offering for Saturday and Sunday: smoked pork shoulder with collard green gumbo.
"We smoke the pork overnight," said Executive Chef Roger King. "The gumbo has housemade Andouille sausage and a fresh corn fritter on top."
King's worked at the Vail Marriott for three years and particpated in Gourmet on Gore each year without fail.
"The people are great," he said. "When you're outside in Vail, how can you not be happy? Then you add food in. That's the best."
Richard Bailey, owner of Taste 5 Catering, is cooking up a storm this week. He's participating in Friday's Tasting Tour and Monday's Brunch on Bridge Street. At the Carrie Fell Gallery on Friday night expect a handful of tasty bites like braised artichoke and Gouda cheese wellingtons, asparagus bisque with truffle oil and shaved Parmesan cheese, and chile-braised carnita tacos with mango and avocado salsa. Sounds good, no doubt, but it's Bailey's Monday brunch offering that has us drooling. He's searing ahi tuna on a Himalayan salt block and using it for eggs benedict.
"I'll sous vide the eggs and have them ready to go, toast the bun, add the ahi and hit it with a lemon hollandaise sauce," he said. "That's $5. Come on down."
Speaking of brunch, Maya, Richard Sandoval's restaurant in The Westin in Avon, is taking part in Monday's festivities. On the menu is the eatery's breakfast tacos with scrambled eggs, housemade chorizo sausage, onions and salsa roja tucked in corn tortillas and served with breakfast potatoes made with potatoes, bell peppers, onions and cream.
Gourmet on Gore is the last big summer food festival of the season, "besides Oktoberfest, but that's all about drinking beer and eating brats," Bailey said.
It's a chance for local chefs to showcase what they've been doing in the kitchen and what they're excited about.
"We get to come out to the streets and have a good time with clients and guests," Bailey said. "It's a great opportunity to meet the local chefs. Most people don't get to talk to a chef and at this event, all the chefs are there and accessible. It's a great weekend for us to let loose and say goodbye to summer."
We're curious about what your favorite bite of the weekend will be. After the festival, tweet High Life Editor Caramie Schnell @caramieschnell or @vaildaily with your favorite Gourmet on Gore offering.

'American Idol' Recap: Who Was Voted Off?
The results were somewhat humdrum and expected tonight on "American Idol" as nine became eight. The nation voted and Majesty was sent home in an abbreviated 30-minute show. She did a quick song to save herself, but no save was given. Keith said it was the toughest deliberation of the season, but they were not all in agreement.
The save is only alive for three more weeks and it has to be a unanimous decision by the judges, though, it always seems like they use it is a scheduling decision depending on the whether producers need to stretch the show another week or not into May.
Before Majesty was sent home, we heard from Randy more than we have in past weeks at the top of the show. He said last night there were three singers—Jena, Caleb and Malaya—who gave amazing performances. The rest, he said, "Time to catch up."
Then it was onto results. They did the results differently tonight. Sort of. So they claimed, anyway. Contestants had to watch the big screen to see, one-by-one, if they were safe. It was difficult to determine the point of this method of reveal was exactly and why they called it different.
Either way, both Jena and Malaya saw their faces up there and were told they were safe at the top of the show.
Then, Janelle Monáe performed "What Is Love" to an excited crowd. Christopher Meloni and Rachelle Harris were in the audience watching ahead of their new comedy premiere "Saving Jack".
Next, Alex saw his face on the big screen and moved to the safety of the lounge, followed by Jessica, Caleb, and Dexter.
Ryan asked the judge how they felt about the bottom three of C.J., Majesty, and Sam. Harry said he thought that America was smart and getting it right, that they weren't making it a popularity contest, rather voting on the actual performances. Then Ryan announced it was Majesty who would sing for the save, that Sam and C.J. were safe.

// TODO: no error checking - we're bold…
This has to be the best code comment ever. Not very intelligent, but humorous at least. Probably explains why the application got hacked 45 minutes after launching on the web. The victim was John McCrea, Plaxo's VP of Marketing, using the first web application based on Google's new OpenSocial APIs.
If you're curious, OpenSocial is Google's new interface for creating widgets/gadgets/apps for social networking platforms. It's partners currently include Engage.com, Friendster, hi5, Hyves, imeem, LinkedIn, MySpace, Ning, Oracle, orkut, Plaxo, Salesforce.com, Six Apart, Tianji, Viadeo, and XING. No information yet whether Facebook, Microsoft, or Yahoo will be joining the initiative. If it makes its way to Facebook at some point, you'll want to be aware for the simple reason that a poorly coded application can be vulnerable to attack. Some existing Facebook applications have vulnerabilities, but for the most part are limited.

Ringling Circus Firm Plans Move to Florida
Published: Sunday, December 9, 2012 at 11:02 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, December 9, 2012 at 11:02 a.m.
ELLENTON | The parent company of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus says it will consolidate its operations in the Tampa Bay-area.
Feld Entertainment spokesman Stephen Payne says the circus' winter quarters will move to a new 47-acre campus in Ellenton. The circus currently spends its winters at the Florida State Fairgrounds.
Payne tells The Herald that Feld also plans to relocate its global headquarters from Vienna, Va., to Manatee County over the next five years. Feld also produces other live shows such as Disney on Ice.
Costumes, sets, lights and sound equipment that Feld currently keeps in Palmetto also will move to Ellenton.
The Manatee Economic Development Corp. says Feld will keep its 148 employees and is expected to add 235 new jobs over the next five years.

Tuesday night the Eagle Town Board announced the three finalists for Eagle Town Manager.
Jon Stavney, current Eagle County Commissioner and former Eagle Mayor; Tom Gosoirowski, current Eagle Town Engineer; and Ryan Mahoney, current town manager in Delores, will vie for the position.
Stavney was elected to the Eagle Town Board in 1998. He served as a board member for six years prior to his election as Eagle Mayor. He was elected as an Eagle County Commissioner in 2004 and re-elected in 2008.
Gosoirowski has been employed as Eagle Town Engineer for 12 years.
Town board member Joe Knabel, who has served as chairman for the town manager search subcommittee, announced the finalists during the regular board meeting. He noted that the board hopes to hire the new town manager by early April. The successful candidate will then begin work in May and spend one month of transition with longtime Eagle Town Manager Willy Powell.
Knabel noted that the opening, which was announced in December, drew 40 applicants. That field was then narrowed down to six semifinalists, who interviewed with the entire town board last week. Those interviews resulted in selection of the three finalists.
The town's consultant will now conduct thorough background checks on the three candidates. Town board members will also decide whether or not to have a public reception so community members can meet with the finalists.

Hi there,
I yesterday did my first steps with Qcad Prof. Most of the functions are very intuitive. I love that.
But one problem occured, when I tried to shorten some parallels I had drawn.
I clicked on the "Lengthen"-function and put the value on -200.
The line itself had a length of 390 (0° - horizontal).
Then I clicked on the left end of the line, so it should be 190 afterwards,
but it did not look right, so I measured: 200.
The HELP showed me I did everything right, as far as I can see.
Another try with a value of -100 worked very well.
Then I shortened a line 200 long with a value of -110, result: length 110.
This problem occured on my MacBook Pro - OS X Tiger.
Afterwards I tested it on MacMini - OS X SnowLeopard, to see if only my notebook had this problem, but it was all the same on both OS.
I would appreciate any help with this issue and would be very glad for short term solutions so I can finish my drawings asap.
Maybe some other users here could test on their systems with different OS if they have the same problem?
Thanks in advance

On Monday, I commented on reports of Lenovo dropping support for Linux.
Ryan Cartwright was quick to comment that Lenovo have since denied that any such announcement was made. Others around the blogosphere have commented that the retraction could be due to the negative response received by Lenovo when the original story broke, but honestly, I should have seen it for the fake that it was.
Why? Well on Tuesday I posted this piece to my Computerworld blog. Here, I'd commented on the fact that the Chinese Government has requested that any approved hardware must support Linux, and one of the companies that have already been approved are Lenovo.
I hardly think that Lenovo will drop Linux just as they become an approved supplier for the Chinese government...
Another "quick" comment
Ryan Cartwright was quick to comment that Lenovo have since denied that any such announcement was made.
Hi Martin,
Nobody denied the announcement was made. I said they denied it was ever their intention to drop support - a claim which seems substantiated by this post.
I have to admit that it does make more sense for them to have never intended to drop Linux support. Apart from the Chinese government contract you mention, Linux support is apparently a good selling point for them.

Steve Spurrier lightheartedly, if not dismissively, shrugged off questions this week about the mystique of LSU's Tiger Stadium, even though he knows from experience how hard it can be to win there.
"That is THE Death Valley, isn't it? Or is there another one? There's two of them. That's right. There's two Death Valleys," the colorful coach of No. 3 South Carolina said in a two-pronged jab at both Saturday night's opponent -- LSU -- and the Gamecocks' in-state rival, Clemson. "We know it'll be loud and crazy and all that kind of stuff, but we've won in front of 90,000 before.
"The tiger doesn't play defense or offense for them, not yet anyway," Spurrier added, referring to LSU's Bengal tiger mascot, Mike. "They keep him caged up, I think."
Spurrier has his best team in his eight seasons at South Carolina, which is now ranked higher than at any time since climbing to No. 2 in 1984.
The coach has had plenty of victories at LSU, both as Florida's quarterback and coach, but also had one of his worst upset losses there, a 28-21 setback in 1997, when he was coach of the No. 1 and defending national champion Gators and the Tigers were ranked 14th.
This time it won't technically be an upset if South Carolina (6-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) loses. No. 9 LSU (5-1, 1-1) has been listed as a slight favorite by odds makers, even after losing for the first time this season last week at Florida.
Although LSU's offense stagnated in a 14-6 loss, the Tigers have one of the top defenses in the nation and can still win the SEC West by winning their remaining league games. Such a run would put them right back in the national championship picture.
The Tigers have also won a school record 21 straight at home. They haven't lost in Tiger stadium since Oct. 10, 2009, against then-No. 1 Florida, led by Tim Tebow.
If they haven't ironed out their problems on offense this week, they could be in for a long night against a South Carolina defense with a lethal pass rush led by Jadeveon Clowney and fellow end Devin Taylor, who've combined for 15½ tackles for losses this season, including 10½ sacks.
West Virginia-Texas Tech: Dana Holgorsen won't be nostalgic Saturday when he brings his No. 5 Mountaineers to Texas Tech, where he and Mike Leach drove opponents batty with their dizzying pass-heavy offense.
"All those feelings and emotions have gone away a long time ago," the Mountaineers' second-year coach said of his eight years in Lubbock. "I'm not going to think twice about it."
Holgorsen's thoughts will be on how to keep his Mountaineers unbeaten as they try to stay in the hunt for the Big 12 title in their first year in the conference.
West Virginia (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) got out of Austin last week with a 48-45 victory over Texas, with Geno Smith throwing for 268 yards and four touchdowns. The Red Raiders (4-1, 1-1) are hoping to rebound after falling 41-20 to Oklahoma in a game that saw quarterback Seth Doege throw three interceptions.
Oregon State: Junior Cody Vaz will start at quarterback for the 4-0 Beavers when they play a nonconference game against host BYU on Saturday. Starting quarterback Sean Mannion, of Pleasanton, is out indefinitely after injuring his left knee during the No. 10 Beavers' victory over Washington State last week.
Vaz insists he isn't nervous, even though he hasn't started a game since he was in high school.
"We're going to go win the game with Cody," Beavers coach Mike Riley said. "Cody's a good quarterback and he's been preparing for this for a long time. He'll be good, and we'll be ready to go."
Navy 31, Central Michigan 13: Keenan Reynolds threw three touchdown passes to lead Navy (3-3) to its second straight victory, over host Central Michigan (2-4). Reynolds is a freshman who filled in for injured starter Trey Miller and rallied Navy to an overtime victory last week at Air Force. He was 6 of 11 for 139 yards and also ran for 59 yards for the Midshipmen.

If Diamonds Could Talk
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 12:28:27 AM in Kwiat (29)
Diamonds do not speak, but they have a lot to say. Kwiat diamonds speak up for something even more precious than fine jewelry – water. Having been a world-leading designer and manufacturer of diamond jewelries since 1907, Kwiat understands that the value of diamonds are not just in their inherent dazzling brilliance, but in the precious things in life that they stand for. Now past its hundredth year, the brand which has been a well-known symbol of love and commitment joins the fight against water crisis by launching its Diamond Waterdrop Bracelet. The piece features a braided leather wrist band decorated with a silver water droplet set with .02 carat diamond. Every Waterdrop bracelet is literally as precious as water, as all proceeds from these pieces go completely to the procurement of clean and safe water to the parts of the world that need it. At Kwiat, diamonds do not only make you feel beautiful; they truly make a difference.
Find Kwiat at its authorized dealers, including Shreve & Co. Jewelers on Post Street, San Francisco.

Excellent Carbon! By Bobaloo on 8/8/2016Bobaloo wouldn't recommend this product to a friendThis product provides low dust and long lasting performance. You may pay a little bit more for this product but it's worth it and it is now the only carbon I use in my reef.
Love this product By Aquanerd on 6/25/2016Aquanerd would recommend this product to a friendi have the duel reactor with the GFO and carbon canisters.i can't say how happy i am with this product i have seen a great change in my 90 gallon tank. the water is so crystal clear with no nitrate or nitrite problems and its easy to use. it doesn't break down as fast as other carbons that i have used over time.i would continue to recommend and use this product.thank you.
Great Carbon By Carol on 6/20/2016Carol would recommend this product to a friendi used this on my reef tank and now also use it on my planted tank. Great Carbon!
Best. Carbon. Ever. By JR on 6/20/2016JR would recommend this product to a friendI can't speak more highly of this product. I've used small and large pellet carbon over the years with acceptable results... mainly due to price and ease of access to it locally.
I gave ROX Carbon a try when it was on sale for the BRS Group Buy last month. WOW! This cleans out super well and need almost no rinsing. Won't ever get the cheaper carbon again.
Great Stuff By Bruce on 5/30/2016Bruce would recommend this product to a friendLow dust, high performance, long lasting. Worth the extra $. Only carbon I use.
Excellent Product By Kyle on 5/26/2016Kyle would recommend this product to a friendProduct was fantastic for me - put about 400g into a media bag and put it into a high flow area of my tank, within hours it was visibly better (and I took before and after pictures to verify that it wasn't just my eyes!) weeks later the water remains clear! have used many types of carbon in the past. You get what you pay for.
Highest surface area for carbon By Steeve on 4/24/2016Steeve would recommend this product to a friendPelletized carbon is quite smaller than I expected when buying, but I think the surface area explain the effectivness of the media. I look forward to see my water crystal clear.
Great product By aaron on 4/22/2016aaron would recommend this product to a friendRunning this carbon for just a few hours my water is super clear now. Brs has some great videos that can help everyone out. That is how I leaned about this type of carbon. Thanks brs
Great product. By Mike on 4/22/2016Mike would recommend this product to a friendCrystal clear water.
This stuff really speaks for itself. By Deez on 4/9/2016Deez would recommend this product to a friendIf your not a believer in this carbon you need to watch the comparison video brs put out on the different types of carbon and side by side visual tests for how each one performs and strength of pellets from dusting. Since I've been using rox I literally only need to run a reactor with carbon for five days a month and change media every third time and that is enough to keep yellow tint and stank away. It is well worth the cost which really isn't bad and by far pays for itself in quality and results. I'm just here to reassure you it does the same thing at your house as it does on that video!!;)

VAIL - With 13 inches of fresh snow, it was just about impossible to have a bad time on Vail Mountain for Closing Day.
Skiers and riders started out the day with powder turns, powder so nice that many even delayed their partying until later in the day. The day started off cold and the wind never seemed to die down - gusty winds caused the closure of Blue Sky Basin and Chairs 17 and 21 - but the sun eventually came out and the partying promptly began in the early afternoon.
"It's symbolic we got 13 inches of snow on closing day 2013," said Pavlos Katsorchis, of Vail. "We're all out here getting the best pow of the season on the last day."
Katsorchis was spending his last day of the season enjoying that snow before heading to the top of Chair 4 for the annual Closing Day party known as "Chair 4 at 4." He used to attend another annual party on Vail Mountain known as B, B and B, and when the resort put a stop to that party because it got too wild, the locals took all that fun up to Chair 4 at 4 on Closing Day, he said.
"It's a good place for all the locals to relax and unwind and socialize for the last day on the mountain," Katsorchis said. "It's pretty sweet - all the costumes and everything are great to look at. It's good people watching and it's super fun."
Todd German, of Vail, looks forward to the party every year because it's a day to let loose and celebrate a long season, he said.
Vail Mountain began scheduling the World Pond Skimming Championships around the same time as the Chair 4 at 4 party a couple of seasons ago, meaning most skiers and riders have to choose one or the other. Down at pond skimming Sunday, more neon ski suits and other wild costumes - including a gorilla, a cow, a shark and E.T., to name a few - could be seen as the Spring Back to Vail announcers made fun of every snowboarder who attempted to skim the pond.
"You are one pathetic loser," James Deighan, of Highline Sports and Entertainment, could be heard saying to just about every snowboarder, and a few skiers, who came down the run.
Pond skimming is hilarious to watch. A skier or rider, typically dressed in a funny costume, comes barreling down the mountain and over a small jump before attempting to skid across the water and come out dry on the other side. Most do not make it.
Wiley Kaupas, 19, was one of them. He dropped in and went really fast but hit the water and ended up crashing.
"The trick was just to lean back and hang on," he said.
Langely McNeal won the women's division and while she hadn't pond skimmed before, she quickly learned how to do it successfully.
"I think it was absorbing the jump. Go in hot - speed's your friend - and come in with yourknees bent and absorb it and just get on the water as quick as you can," she said. "I race skier cross. In skier cross, you don't want to catch a lot of air cause it's not fast, so we practice absorbing jumps."
McNeal loved the event, mostly because it marked the end of a season in which she has to train and remain so focused for racing.
"My season's over and we have to be so serious all year, so it's fun to have fun, wear a fur bikini top and drink beer and try not to get wet," she said.
Joel Huleatt won the men's division and made it all the way across the pond. Because others had also made it across, Huleatt went for the wow factor during his runs.
"I wanted to splash the crowd a little bit," he said. "(Pond skimming) is the best thing to do in spring. It's a great crowd, you drink some beers and go jump in the water."
His easy going mood was shared by just about everyone on Vail Mountain on Sunday. Not even gusting winds could get people down.
"What an awesome Closing Day," commented Mike Maher on the Vail Daily's Facebook page. "Two years in a row closed out with POW! WOW."

Definition of diachronic in English:
Concerned with the way in which something, especially language, has developed and evolved through time. Often contrasted with synchronic. the census is also a diachronic data set linguistic change is the diachronic aspect of linguistic variation
More example sentences
- Currently, linguists generally prefer the synchronic study of spoken language to the diachronic comparison of words in texts, and have tended to regard philology as pre-scientific.
- Though let me stress that what I have offered here is not an expert opinion; I have done no serious quantitative work on this topic, and I have no real expertise in diachronic lexical semantics.
- From a diachronic viewpoint, languages seem to change from being more pragmatic to more syntactic; from a synchronic perspective, different languages may simply be at different stages of this evolutional circle.
- Example sentences
- The lithostratigraphic correlation between the two units appears to be very good, although biostratigraphic resolution is inadequate to assess the degree of diachroneity.
- The demonstrable geographic variability and diachroneity of the Ordovician diversifications imposes limitations on the level of analysis possible with synoptic databases.
- Often, however (assuming accuracy of the data), they pose more problems than they solve, and bear witness to major diachroneity of otherwise similar events.
- Example sentences
- Part of the problem in making extrapolations from these patterns to build a theory is that the relationship between language and social structure may vary considerably, both synchronically and diachronically.
- Each can be studied synchronically or diachronically and the order in which they have been dealt with within a grammar has fluctuated over the years.
- In extending the lesson given us through our redactor-as-author to other texts, we can hope to avoid treating certain texts only diachronically or synchronically.
- Example sentences
- It considers work in progress in the field of diachronistic linguistics, providing a snapshot of the discipline at the time the conference was held.
- One might, for instance, have considered the changing popularity of biblical (as opposed to hagiographical or even secular) imagery in general, assessed diachronistic patterns in the relative popularity of individual subjects, and examined the iconographic evolution of particularly important ones.
- The diachronistic but yet synchronistic observation of different political structures (from states and empires of the antiquity via India to the United States of America) makes it clear that constitution is much more than a body of laws and that a national community is never a mere community of law but always a community of values too.
- Example sentences
- Enough of diachrony vs. synchrony for this posting.
- The enactment of masochistic desire is a performance of history, and masochism is a synchronic enactment of diachrony.
- Levinas, also, describes the relationship with the other as time: 'it is an untotalizable diachrony in which one moment pursues another without ever being able to retrieve it, to catch up with, or coincide with it' ('Dialogue' 21).

Charlie Sheen says his ex-wife Brooke Mueller abuses their twin 4-year-old boys, according to TMZ -- comments that legally could land Sheen in jail.
Parties involved in the custody case of twins Bob and Max Sheen are under a court gag order. TMZ reports that Mueller's legal team will ask a judge to sanction Sheen -- possibly with jail time for contempt of court -- after the actor went off with TMZ on Friday morning.
Sheen told TMZ that Mueller is a "dangerous, evil whore," but those sort of accusations aren't worth reporting in any self-respecting publication.
Sheen also said that his sons Bob and Max have suffered physical and emotional damage during time spent in Mueller's care. He said they are deathly afraid of Mueller's house, which he said is covered in pet lizards, various insects and other critters, and they suffer night terrors after spending time at the home.
He added that Bob suffered a bad rash on his face after recently spending time with Mueller -- a rash that "looked like somebody burned him."
Sheen said he's complained to L.A. Child Services, but they refuse to help. He said Mueller is actually getting more custody and he doesn't understand why.
It couldn't be because Charlie Sheen is their father.
Sheen slammed child services on a Twitter rant Thursday, calling them "doosh bags" who have done nothing to protect his children. He also called Mueller an "evil and pathetic uber loser" and a "whore."
That's not very nice.
He also told TMZ that Mueller -- who, like Sheen, has had well-documented troubles with substance abuse -- is supposed to get her first unsupervised overnight visit with the twins Friday night, and that he's afraid of what might happen.
Sheen also said he's not sure if his ex-wife is back on drugs, but, "She's as awful a parent and a person as you can possibly draw up."
So I guess everyone isn't spending Thanksgiving together.

Nice solid Buried Alive opens things up and it was average for this tour. Right into Poor Heart, which was also well done. Melt was pretty fast tonight. It rocked, but was just average. Sparkle was a bit loose, especially the ending speed up jam. Caravan was just ok for me. I like the song, but it wasnt all that tonight. Lizards was good, no real problems here. Horn was ok, maybe a few bumps in the road. Divided Sky was spotty all over the place, but the jam was ok. IDK also comes in at average with Fish on the washboard. Antelope had the usual screwing around in the intro part and Fish blew the climax and kept playing drums along with Mikes bass, making this one not all that. So it wasnt the best first set for this tour, but not too bad.
Rift gets the opener spot for the second set and unfortunately the timing was still off during the middle solo sections. Bouncing was pretty standard as was Maze. Fee has a funny moment where Trey must have forgotten to pick up the megaphone or something, because he had to rush through the lyrics to keep up and he almost laughed out loud as he did. Then the Balls come out and I have to say this may be one of the weirdest Ball Jams Ive heard. Fish changes his drum part at least three times and makes it funky. YEM is a little off at the top and was just ok for me tonight. The vocal jam leads into Fish coming back out to do the Gig in the Sky. You either love it or hate it. Fish then jumps into Hood and nobody is there with him, so its a bit awkward and there are a few off spots, but by the end you do in fact feel good about this one. Woo hoo we have a Harpua! I always love this song, although this one is kind of sloppy, there is still the usual funny story. Highway to Hell is also a little sloppy, but at this point nobody cares. Pretty decent second set overall.
Everyone gets shushed for Grace, which was fine, and then the recording cuts a pinch of Golgis top off. The song itself was ok; Mike had a rough spot, but not too bad overall.
Good show, but just kind of average for this tour. Im going with three stars just to bring the average down a bit.

Man charged in February arson at Jennings Street apartment
Published: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 9:15 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 9:15 p.m.
Investigators say a Spartanburg man set fire to an apartment last month in hopes of collecting insurance money.
Luis Antonio Collazo, 55, of 201 Powell Mill Road, Apt. K-203, was charged with third-degree arson and burning personal property to defraud insurer, arrest warrants state.
According to an incident report, North Spartanburg Fire Department responded to a fire at 7712 Jennings St. on Feb. 4. When firefighters arrived, they found apartment B at the house engulfed in flames, the report states.
Collazo told investigators that he poured gasoline in the apartment and set it on fire in an attempt to collect insurance money, according to the report.

SANTA CLARA -- The health of lead running back Frank Gore was a prime concern for the 49ers at this time last season. Coach Jim Harbaugh said Gore's health isn't among his concerns this time around.
"Frank has mentioned that a few times this week, a few times last week, that he feels great, his body feels great, his mind feels good," Harbaugh said Thursday in his daily news conference. "He has a great attitude. So, that's a real positive for us."
Gore was bothered by several injuries last season and was limited at times. He played through the pain but obviously wasn't near full strength for the playoffs.
In two playoff games last season, Gore rushed 29 times for 163 yards and no touchdowns. Against the Green Bay Packers last Saturday night, Gore amassed 119 yards and one touchdown on 23 carries.
Harbaugh said the 49ers didn't do anything different in terms of monitoring Gore's workload this season.
"Every week, we were going into it as that game being the most important game," Harbaugh said. "I wouldn't say there was an eye toward the playoffs on that, specifically, with Frank."
The 49ers offense relies upon Gore to set a physical tone with his bruising running style, as well as his superior blocking ability.
Harbaugh said he also relies upon Gore to shed some light into what he sees on the field and from afar.
"It's top shelf," Harbaugh said of Gore's knowledge of the game. "Not to categorize it, but I know I have learned a lot from Frank, as well as the other running backs on our team.
"He sees it, he sees the big picture, he sees the whole picture, he sees it slowed down and he's got a very quick mind. He's able to make quick-minded decisions."
For the season, Gore has rushed for 1,333 yards in 17 games, with nine touchdowns.

STOCKTON — A judge today sided with the city of Stockton in an ongoing case launched last year by then-mayoral candidate Ralph Lee White, who seeks clarity on the city's rules dictating term limits.
Past Mayor Ann Johnston — White's political opponent — ultimately lost her re-election bid, but the longtime Stockton activist said he hasn't changed his resolve. White said he will next appeal to a higher court.
San Joaquin County Superior Court Judge Lesley Holland said the charter's line on term limits isn't particularly clear, but he found no legal reason for making the city change its practice, which allowed Johnston to seek another term.

Panasonic, Tesla Motors's primary supplier of lithium-ion cells for its electric Model S sedans, hasn't committed to investing in the massive U.S. battery plant proposed by Tesla's Elon Musk.
Joining Tesla's "Gigafactory" battery project would raise investment risks, Panasonic President Kazuhiro Tsuga, told reporters Thursday at a briefing in Tokyo. Tesla, which announced plans for the facility in February, said it's reviewing potential sites in four southwestern U.S. states. The plant may require as much as $5 billion to build and employ about 6,500 people by 2020, the Palo Alto-based company said.
Musk, who is also Tesla's co-founder and biggest investor, has said Panasonic may be involved in the factory. However, the Osaka, Japan-based company's participation is "not 100 percent confirmed," he told Bloomberg Television last month.
"Having Panasonic as a joint venture partner would facilitate strategic access to Pansonic's supply chain, and reduce risks," Craig Irwin, a New York-based analyst for Wedbush Securities, wrote in a note Thursday.
Irwin, who has an outperform rating on the stock, trimmed his target price for Tesla's shares to $275 from $295.
Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada, the four states Tesla identified as possible factory locations, have started lobbying efforts to win the plant. Tesla has raised about $2 billion in a convertible bond sale to help fund the plant and for product development.
Musk, 42, has said the plant is critical to helping Tesla drive down battery costs and to expand lithium-ion cell supplies to allow the carmaker to sell hundreds of thousands of electric vehicles annually. Tesla also wants to make batteries for home storage of electricity generated by solar panels, allowing customers to reduce use of power from utilities.
Tesla relies on Panasonic for the battery materials, said Menahem Anderman, president of Total Battery Consulting Inc., in Oregon House, California. If Panasonic isn't involved, that will make the factory much more of a challenge, he said.
Tesla shares fell 2.6 percent to $207.32 Thursday's trading.
