Keystone is fast becoming the go-to place for wine aficionados with its longstanding summer Wine & Jazz Festival and now a winter festival too, new as of last year. The Winter Wine Weekend returns for a second year Saturday and Sunday.
Saturday night features a wine tasting paired with hors d'oeuvres by Black Diamond Gourmet and entertainment by jazz musicians Will Donato Trio. Donato, a saxophone player and national recording artist who has played with Al McKay (Earth, Wind and Fire), Bruce Conte (Tower of Power), Steve Reid (The Rippingtons) and others, is a popular performer with Keystone's summer festival.The wines were handpicked by Tracy Whitlock of the Bacchus division of Republic National Distributing Company, which partners with Keystone Neighborhood Company to sponsor the event. All are available locally and range from $8-$25 retail."When you have to narrow it down to a few wines, you want those wines to all stand out and to really embody what region and varietal they're representing - and also to be a good value to the consumer," said Whitlock, who selected 10 reds and 10 whites for the occasion. "The idea is to introduce people to some great quality wines that are a great value and are easily accessible for people to enjoy and learn about."Among the featured wines are two unoaked Chardonnays - Chardonnays that have not been aged in an oak vessel, which is a traditional American preparation method. Whitlock said unoaked Chardonnays are becoming more and more popular as people learn more about wines and become more experimental with their choices. "People are realizing that this varietal has a beautiful expression on its own without the added component of oak," she said.Far from a snobby affair, Whitlock said Keystone's Winter Wine Weekend "is fun" and "meant to be enjoyed," in contrast to the preconceived notions some folks have about what a wine experience need be.At $30 in advance online or $40 at the door, "the Saturday night portion in particular is a great value and very kind on your purse strings for everything that is included," said Maja Russer, Warren Station director of events and marketing. Last year, the first night sold out.
On Sunday, for $55 in advance or $65 at the door, Warren Station presents a "triple-whammy," as Russer called it - a wine pairing, cooking demo and catered New Zealand meal where guests get to eat what they've just seen made. The chef conducting the demo is the same as the caterer - the renowned Chef Christopher Rybak of Arapahoe Basin Ski Area's Black Mountain Lodge fame. Rybak will present a New Zealand dinner with appetizers including a crab-and-shrimp salad on citrus-scented quinoa and assorted cheeses; a spinach, strawberry, feta and toasted almond salad with balsamic vinaigrette; braised New Zealand lamb shank with fresh greens and waxed beans with carrots and creamy polenta. He will demonstrate how to make each of the courses onstage, and after each, servers bring the dish out to attendees."It's not just a demo - people are getting to eat what is being demoed," said Russer. Later, they can recreate the dishes at home. The event is pretty labor intensive to put on, she said, because while the chef is demonstrating how the food is prepared, there's a coordinated effort taking place behind the scenes to plate each course. Last year, Russer found herself making use of serving skills mastered back in her days at Dillon Dam Brewery. Between food demos, wine specialist Jeremy Krug - who also gives wine seminars at the summer festival - will talk about the wines selected to pair with each course. "Last year we did Italian wines and an Italian theme," Whitlock said. "This year we thought New Zealand would be fun because those wines are really up and coming and just beautiful."Since Whitlock also works with Rybak at A-Basin, they collaborated on the New Zealand theme. Well known for his role as A-Basin's executive chef, Rybak worked at Keystone years ago, and he operates a catering business too. The folks at Warren Station got to know him last summer through his daughter, Chelsea, who worked as a special events intern for the arts center."We have had Chris cater KNC events in the past and our experiences are that his product and presentation are top notch," Russer said. "I personally am a fan."To purchase tickets for the advance, discounted rate, visit winterwinekeystone.eventbrite.com.

Tottenham Hotspur Message Board
most under rated spurs players
as the winter draws closer, i get more bored.
so to pass my boredom, i want u to all name the most under rated spurs player u can think of? (if u say corluka im deleating this thread forever!)
am i the only 1 who says cor-luka & not chor-luka like the commentators do?
had a family gathering this weekend.
this weeks minor topic of conversation was under rated spurs players.
this was my uncles opinion in short-
espen baardsen. what a reliable keeper!
why did we get rid of him!
he had so much potential & would have matured & developed in to a top keeper!
to make matters worse we dropped him for that curtain muppet ian walker!
the name didnt ring a bell to me.(no, not curtain muppet, espen baardsen!)
so i looked him up on wiki. this guy gets even more interesting. my uncle thought he was born & bred in norway. no! he was born in californi-a.
even mr wiki backs up my uncles argument that we shouldnt have got rid of him.
quote from the all knowing mr wiki, who is never ever wrong.
"Despite good performances, including a 0–0 draw away to rivals Arsenal, he was unable to become the team's first-choice keeper. Baardsen won the Worthington Cup with Spurs in 1999."
espen's case for most under rated spurs player gets even more compelling. he was loyal beyond belief to us! tell the folks why, mr wiki?
"In 2002, he went on a short loan spell to Everton. In his sole game for the club he conceded 4 goals in a 4–3 loss to his former club Tottenham Hotspur
yes, u heard right! in his debut game for everton he deliberately let spurs score 4 goals! that proves how much he loved the club. it turned out to be his last ever game!
but sadly this sacrifice came at a huge cost-
"Baardsen retired from the game aged only 25 and went travelling around the world for a year, claiming he had lost interest in the game"
thats right, he turned his back on football & travelled the world which goes to show how open minded & interesting mr clean sheet away to the gooners, really is!
if u wondered what he is up to know-
"He is currently a partner and fund manager for Eclectica Asset Management, a London-based asset management company. He is a frequent guest on the business television network, CNBC."
thats right, he is still in london close to his beloved spurs!
so espen baardsen is the 1st name put foward for the title of most under rated spurs player!
is my uncle & mr wiki seeing something that no one else saw in this shot stopper?
do any of u remember this scandanivian yankie?
was he useless or does my uncle have a point?
now its up to u to throw your own name in to the ring in the battle of the most under rated spurs player.
espen will take some beating!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

You may have a point there regarding Hoddle and England John.
While there are (mnore than?) a few over-rated players in the current England team does anyone recall Bobby Robson saying he wanted to build his team around Hoddle - and then only played him every other game! I rated Robson as a manager compared to some, but that decision was just bizarre.
Maybe the difference between being under rated by Spurs fans compared to being underrated by England?
I agree that Hoddle was a great player with an ability to strike the ball better than just about anybody else which translated into superb passes and shots. That, alongside his quick thinking and ability to see the pass made him great.....BUT.....he had his weaknesses such as tackling, heading and tracking back to help out his defence.
Put it all together and I am not sure why he is being mentioned in a thread about under rated players. He was rated very highly by most. This thread is about under rated players that didn't get the recognition that players like Hoddle did. Mentioning Hoddle in here is like saying "Blanchflower" or "McKay" and in this thread that would be silly.
If the thread was about Spurs greats (and we have had those in the past) Hoddle would be in that as well along with Blanchflower and McKay and that is where he belongs - not on here IMHO obviously.
yes, my grandad was prasing hoddle. he was saying he was ahead of his time in a good way!

I understand what SB's Gramps says, he did set a new standard for midfielders and was a worldwide influence! As already stated, he was only underrated by England at the time, as were many "flare" players before him and after, Rodney Marsh was a notable example! Glenn was definitely not underrated by any lover of of pure football. Youtube has some great clips.
HODDLE, not by Spurs fans, but by England..should of had twice as many caps...Pele once said he would walk into the Brazilian team at the time, yet England only want carthorse, not thoroughbreds....Still the most gifted English midfielder I ever saw....( gee, I think I'll get the old videos out, especially that game against Watford in the 70's....)

Totally agree John. When you look back and see how many caps a 'work horse' like Bryan Robson got, and then think of the silky skills of Hoddle. How strikers like Steve Archibald and Clive Allen must have loved playing with him - Hoddle'd spot the runs and lay the ball on a plate with enough back spin to stop the ball dead - all from 40 yards.
What could he have done for England - but at that time, the ethic was 'work work work' and that's only just changing now (and even Capello still thinks we don't have the depth of skill in this country to compete at that level).

I remember Espen Baardsen. He's a good friend of my boss's daughter and although I've not met him I'm told he's a really nice guy (well, he was a Spurs player so I'm not at all surprised!). Although he was at Spurs for a few years in the late 90s I don't think he really stood a chance of displacing the mighty Erik Thorsvedt.
It seems at Spurs we have a knack of letting players go who subsequently go on to be pivotal influences elsewhere - Pedro Mendes springs to mind. But I guess a lot of other clubs experience the same.
- 2 Replies to Kentish Maid
Just to point out the Wikipedia mistake - although Baardsen played a few games during the 99 Worthington Cup run, it was actually Ian Walker who played in the final.
That aside, Hazard and Mendes agree were both underrated. I'm also gonna add Alen Nielsen and Steffen Freund to the list. Also, this may be unpopular for many, but Jenas as well - everyone always moans about him but I remember he pulled it together during Ramos' short-lived reign and always seemed to just get on with things when he wasn't playing. He was instrumental during our 2008 Carling Cup final victory over Chelsea but didn't seem to get much credit for it.
And BAE of course - most Spurs fans can see how classy a player he is, but there isn't a single pundit out there who seems to rate him, which is unfair. IMO he is a better left back than Clichy (who I have grudgingly accepted is a bloody good LB!!)
Chris Houghton never got the recognition I thought he deserved.

Two or three come to mind, SB, The most notable one for me was a lad called Jimmy Pearce, back in the late sixties/early seventies. He played right midfield, or right wing, and whenever the ball got to him, there was a murmur of disapproval round the ground, and cries of "Don't give it to HIM!" IMO, it was very unwarranted, as he was a very creative player, and later, some of my mates conceded that he wasn't that bad after all! I saw Jim score some good goals, but none better than the one at Selhurst Park...(Yes, I used to go anywhere in those days!)...where he swervd the ball in from a ridiculous angle with the outside of his boot.
Others who weren't popular,where I used to stand at least were Mickey Hazard, who I thought was a fine player, who had a touch of the Hoddles about him and, before him a nippy winger called Jimmy Neighbour.
More recently, David Bentley, who I know had more about him than we got to see!

NEW YORK -- For many HIV-positive Americans, and those who advocate on their behalf, these are days of anxious waiting as the Supreme Court ponders President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.
This loose-knit community -- including activists, health professionals and about 1.2 million people living with HIV -- has invested high hopes in the Affordable Care Act, anticipating that it could improve access to lifesaving care and treatment.
The act is in limbo as the high court deliberates on its constitutionality. A ruling could come in June.
Among its provisions, the health care law has two major benefits for HIV-positive people: It expands Medicaid so those with low incomes can get earlier access to treatment, and it eliminates limits on pre-existing conditions that have prevented many people with HIV from obtaining private insurance.

No Relief in Sight for Those Looking for Higher Yields on Canadian Bonds
By Don Curren and David George-Cosh
Investors looking for relief from ultra-low yields from Canadian bonds aren't likely to enjoy 2013 much.
Yields for Government of Canada bonds could edge higher if the global economy finds better footing, but they're likely remain mired not far from historic lows for most or all of next year, analysts said. They see a domestic bond market that remains supported by a slow-growth environmental globally, a central bank that's not likely to raise rates soon, and a global appetite for Canada's Triple-A-rated government debt.
Investors would be well advised to put bets on the Canadian market outperforming U.S. Treasurys, analysts said, but even that play likely won't generate significant profit, since the outperformance is likely to be fairly modest.
"Near term, I'm not looking for major moves in yields. I think we're going to stay fairly range-bound for the next quarter or four months," said Andrew Kelvin, senior fixed-income strategist at TD Securities in Toronto, in an interview.
Mr. Kelvin sees the yield on Canada's benchmark 10-year bond ranging between 1.70% and 1.90% next year. It was at 1.779% on Friday.
Other market watchers see yields edging higher, but remaining fairly contained from a longer-term perspective.
Canadian bond yields will likely be higher, but won't go up much more than 100 basis points from current levels, said Marc Rouleau, vice-president, fixed income at Standard Life Investments Inc. in Montreal. "It's a little more realistic to expect to be 100 basis points higher than they are today, which is a pretty tight range in the grand scheme of things," he told Canada Real Time.
That's based on the view that the fiscal cliff and debt-ceiling issues in the U.S. will be resolved and that Europe will be able to avoid falling into "another hole," Mr. Rouleau said.
Some analyst expect yields to stay low in the first half of 2013 as the U.S. struggles with its fiscal issues, and then to rise in the second half as stronger growth takes hold.
"We think generally weak economic growth, at least early next year, in both countries will support the bond market," said Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets. He expects stronger growth in both the U.S. and Canada in the second half. "That's likely when we would see an upward drift in bond yields," he predicted.
Others, though, see yields remaining lower for longer due to the U.S. Federal Reserve's bond purchasing programs. Economists at National Bank Financial expect the Fed to keep buying fixed-income assets until late 2013. "In this context, even in the event that the fiscal cliff is resolved, yields could remain very low, as the Fed will continue to limit the net supply of Treasurys," they said in a report.
"It will take at least two quarters of growth that is solidly higher than potential for the Fed to signal an end to its purchases," the National Bank economists said. "Yields will only start moving upwards once the end of the purchasing program."

Decorate a box and have kids fill it with favorite things. Long after they've outgrown the box, you'll have a keepsake reminder for them.
Look for clues with Blue, weekdays on Nick Jr.
Help your child select the paper she would like to use to cover the box. Cut out pieces large enough to cover the box and the lid. Wrap the lid and the outside of the box in paper, but don't secure it in place. (Just check that you have enough paper and that your child likes how it looks.) Remove the paper and use the glue stick to cover the surface of the box and lid with glue. Rewrap the box and the lid in the paper and secure any loose edges with sticky tape.
With a pencil, help your child trace the bottom of the box and the lid on construction paper or felt. Cut out the paper or felt and use these pieces to line the bottom of the box and the inside of the lid. Secure them with the glue stick. Line the inside of the box the same way.
Help your child make a nameplate for her box by writing her name on a piece of colored paper with crayons or colored markers, cutting it out, and gluing it to the top of the box. Squeeze glue around the cut edge of the nameplate and have your child sprinkle glitter on top. After the glue dries, shake off the excess glitter onto a piece of newspaper and return it to the glitter container.
To make sure the box will close when you're done, put the lid on before your child starts decorating it. Kids can add stickers and glue on pom-poms, felt shapes, pipe cleaners, glitter, and Blue's Clues coloring pages like Color Blue,  Blue's Paw Prints,  Blue's Rhyming Storybook, and Blue's "Favorite Things" Journal. Talk with your child about what favorite things she'd like to keep in the box and encourage her to draw pictures of her favorite things to cut out and glue to the box.
After the box has dried completely, have your child place her favorite things inside. For example, pictures of friends and special relatives, favorite small stuffed animals, toys and games, art supplies--even a piece of her old security blanket.

EDWARDS - And now for the stretch run.
Having completed the season sweep in convincing fashion Thursday night, downing Eagle Valley, 10-2, Battle Mountain girls soccer is hitting its biggest week of the season.
Battle Mountain (6-0-2 overall and 6-0-1 in the 4A Slope) hosts Glenwood Saturday, Steamboat Springs Tuesday and is at Palisade Friday. With the league's new divisional format and upcoming playoffs, all three matches have gravitas.
Saturday's game at 1 p.m. in Edwards against Glenwood is the only meeting during the regular season between the Huskies and Demons. That's because the Huskies, Steamboat, Eagle Valley and Summit County are in the Eastern Division, while Palisade, the Demons, Delta and Rifle are in the West, with the top-two teams in each division advancing to the league playoffs at the end of the month.
If the standings were frozen after Thursday's game, Battle Mountain, atop the East, would be playing Glenwood, second place in the West, in the semifinals. Toss in the fact that the Demons beat Battle Mountain twice last season, and are the defending Slope champs and this should be a good one.
Next up is Steamboat on Tuesday at 6 p.m. The Huskies and Sailors played to a 1-1 draw up north with Steamboat getting the equalizer in the final minutes. Not only do the Huskies want to settle that score, but a win over the Sailors all but clinches the East for Battle Mountain.
The last of the trilogy is at Palisade Friday. The Bulldogs are atop the West, and have a 1-0 win at Steamboat on their resume.
"I think the season has different phases to it, and this middle phase is something we've been gearing toward for a long time," Huskies coach David Cope said. "This is really where we get to have a round-robin among the top teams in the league. We know Glenwood's going to be really strong and physical."
The Huskies took care of business against the Devils in efficient manner. Anna Tedstrom started the proceedings by singing the national anthem and then scoring 20 seconds into the game.
"It was pretty cool to do that," Tedstrom said. "They're both my passions. I'm in the drama department and the show choir."
You might recall from previous episodes of "The Lives of Tedstroms," that she played Rusty in the school's recent musical, "Footloose." On a soccer note, this is a change of pace for Tedstrom and her family. Anna has moved from defense to offense, whereas her older brothers, Charlie and Connor, who also played Huskies soccer, were fixtures on the backline.
"It's kind of weird," Anna said. "I haven't played forward since I was 8. But it's way more fun because I get to use all my energy up front."
Rosie Davies, Morgan Croke and Taylor Denning made it 4-0 lead. Alexis Nebbenlink scored her first varsity goal to make it 5-0 at the half.
Croke and Davies struck again in the second half, and the Huskies also got goals from Julia Mills, Keelin Robinson and Kelly Guarascio. No to be left out, Megan Asmussen scored twice in the second half for the Devils (2-7, 1-6).
"She'll score anytime you give her the chance," said Jason Rittmiller - Asmussen scored in the first meeting between the two teams in Gypsum. "They were two really smart shots that she put in the net. She's a talented player who also knows when to slow down and hit the ball just right."
Eagle Valley is at Palisade Saturday.

And for PPC-Macs?
I would even pay for this app. I tried a few alternatives but for this price it's unbeatable.
You need the 32 bit version of HandBrake if you want to rip DVD's, since at the moment there only is a 32 bit version of VLC.
Handbrake rocks! I just downloaded and built the latest 64 bit version (2896 ×86_64) and it's super fast! Big speed improvements over 0.9.3
From the forum:
"one of our goals for version 0.9.4 is to refocus on HandBrake's key strengths and to remove dead weight. As part of this process, several presets [High profile presets, PSP, PS3, Xbox 360], containers [avi, OGG/OGM], and a codec [XviD] have been removed [as output choices] from HandBrake."
Special versions are available (in French):
- 0.9.3 stable (32 bits)
- latest 64 bits development build optimized for Snow Leopard (LLVM GCC + clang)
Comparing the two versions, one user reports 20% less time to encode with the 0.9.4 64 bits optimized, the other 55% less (ie: 80% faster when measuring fps).
Blog: maclocal.free.fr
Downloads: maclocal.free.fr/telechargement.
Handbrake is one of those amazing apps you have to talk about.
I needed to convert 3GB EyeTV files (70 minutes) to normal sized .avi files for storage reasons (obviously). I tried a handful of conversion programs that had complicated interfaces and didn't work in the end. Handbrake is so straight forward. It does what you expect it to. It's also fast, remarkably stable, and doesn't hog resources (only using 67MB RAM on a 3GB file? Wow!). Just load up the queue and let Handbrake take care of the rest. I think I will have that cocktail now.
Amongst the changes of 0.9.3: No more internal DVD decryption, but:
"if HandBrake detects you have installed the VLC 0.9.x media player in your root Applications folder, it will ask you if you want to decrypt DVDs using that application's copy of the libdvdcss library."

WOW Shawn that looks cool!!!
Im thinki
Im thinking about doing the same as your one now and not the futerengergy one!!! as it would be more of a challenge!!
just got a few questions as it is odd ie a electric bike motor!!!!
1) what motor did you use ie 250w / 500w 1000w motor ( just looking on ebay there are several)
2) how much energy have you got from this unit in one day?
3) the wire that comes out of the motor i guess goes down the metal tubbing ( ie you have extending the wire )
and what does it connect to after that ie an inverted / controller etc?? I guess im just a bit shocked a bike motor would work in that way as i never seen it on any other websites.
many thanks

Bloomberg Suggests Partial Evacuation Ahead of New Storm
By Michael Howard Saul and Laura Nahmias
New Mayor City Michael Bloomberg on Tuesday recommended residents in the city's lowest-lying areas — including the south shore of Staten Island and the Rockaways in Queens — evacuate in advance of the nor'easter expected to hit the region Wednesday.
Last week, the mayor issued a mandatory evacuation of roughly 375,000 people in advance of superstorm Sandy. Mr. Bloomberg said he wasn't ordering a full evacuation of those low-lying areas, known as Zone A, but on Tuesday he urged residents living there to move to higher ground.
"We are going to go to a few very low areas where normally you would have flooding and try to evacuate people," Mr. Bloomberg said at a City Hall news briefing. "We're not ordering a general evacuation from Zone A."
The mayor ordered all city parks, playgrounds and beaches to be closed from noon Wednesday until noon Thursday. He said this nor'easter presented an elevated threat because of the extensive damage to the landscape left by storm surges and strong winds last week.
"The danger is a little bit greater because you have trees that have had enormous amount of water around their base and if we have snow, wet snow, on the trees, that brings down trees because of the weight of the snow," he said. "And also some of the sand that had acted as a barrier before has been washed away."
The mayor and other officials said the looming storm is not expected to pack the same wallop as Sandy, but they preferred to err on the side of safety."Even though it's not anywhere near as strong as Sandy, nor strong enough in normal times for us to evacuate anybody, out of precaution and because of the changing physical circumstances, we are going to go to some small areas and ask those people to go to higher ground," Mr. Bloomberg said.
The storm expected, expected to arrive Wednesday and last into nighttime hours, is forecast to bring heavy rains, high winds and possibly snow.
Police officers will be making announcements over loudspeakers in the lowest-lying areas to encourage residents to evacuate. The city is scrambling to make arrangements to transport people who need assistance.
The Bloomberg administration is ordering all property owners and contractors to secure their construction sites and buildings in advance of the storm. All exterior construction must cease at noon Wednesday, the mayor ordered.
Mr. Bloomberg also recommended that motorists remain off the roads during the height of the storm.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo designated debris piles residents stacked in front of their homes in storm-affected areas as a health hazard and directed all local governments to clear the debris as soon as possible because high winds from the looming storm could turn loose debris into projectiles.
Mr. Cuomo also assigned 4,000 National Guard personnel already in the area to help with post-Sandy relief efforts to aid with debris removal, and he has positioned search-and-rescue teams from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in the region.
The governor directed utility crews shipped in last week from states across the country to remain in New York to help if the impending nor'easter downs more trees and power lines in the region.
"We're on storm watch for tomorrow and Thursday," Mr. Cuomo said. "We've had a little good news but we live by the adage, prepare for the worst and hope for the best."

A perfect way for you and K to enjoy the first day of spring- spending it in your forest.
The herd of elk is beautiful. We have herds of them too, but have never seen them.
I can just imagine K- galloping along beside you as you snow bike on the trails.
The spring sun is shining so beautifully on K. She glows like the sun- herself.
- March 20, 2012 at 9:15 PM
Hello K & KB,
our hearts go out to you at this tough time and we are totally behind you, we would do what you are doing. Have you tried giving K Pau D'Arco or Cat's Claw or the Essiac blend of herbs? They might not cure her but hey, they could give her some more quality months, you know? And they have good track records with cancer. Also, maybe this book could help:
Veterinarians' Guide to natural remedies for dogs or maybe even this site: caninecancer.com or even following the mms protocol. I know a lot of people feel it's way out there but hey, I'd do it. and what about ground up apricot kernels in her food? I so wish I knew how to help you and K. Our animal kids live in our hearts and they take a bit with them when they are hurt or going.

Being Rebels is a beautiful thing. Those elk reminded my MOM about a time when she was in the Estes Park area and she foolishly walked right through a heard of about 20 elk. Yep she walked right through the middle of the herd all because she joking said to some friends, "I could walk right between them." Then they said "oh sure you could." MOM rarely backs down from a challenge. But she said she swears she saw her life flash before her eyes as she walk through them.
I like the photo of K standing on the green grasses. Beautiful.

Is there a way to use your system with parametric data from a database or will I need to write a translator? I assume that the DXF file is the native drawing system. Since it is just ascii I can create a post processor that will create the drawings from the database.
Also do you have an educational price? I am an instructor in a technical college and am thinking about using your system for classes.

Roundup: Crosby girls qualify for state tourney for 1st time since 1992
Za'Nayia Love poured in 30 points to lead the Crosby girls basketball team to a 61-43 victory over Seymour on Thursday night, earning the Bulldogs their first state tournament berth in 21 years.
Crosby (8-7) trailed 13-2 in the opening minutes, but battled back to tie at 15-15 after one period. In the second quarter, the Bulldogs outscored the visitors, 14-4, to take control.
"We started getting out on their shooters and playing good 'D,'" said coach Phil Lott. "At first, we didn't do that."
Crosby hasn't been in the state tournament since 1991-92, when it was 11-7 in the NVL and 13-8 overall. The Bulldogs had seven wins, one shy of the state tournament, two seasons ago in Lott's first year as coach, but were 1-19 last season.
"When the season first started, I didn't think about (the state tournament)," said Lott. "But when we played in the jamboree, I thought, we can really compete with anybody."
The Bulldogs have competed despite losing center Samaya Saunders to an ACL injury in the first game and having their point guard, Rashana Siders, leave the team four games ago.
"We don't stop," said Lott. "We lose somebody, and somebody else steps up."
Ndidi Nolisa added nine points for Crosby. Seymour (5-11) was led by Cindy Farrell with 16, Christina Tacinelli with 11 and Katie Dow with 10.
Oxford 41, Bullard Havens 30: Taylor Drayton scored a team-high 13 points to lead the Wolverines in a nonleague game in Oxford. Keara Main added nine points for Oxford (4-10).
Sadazjah Miles scored 19 points for Bullard Havens.
Bristol Eastern 50, Platt 35: Daija Brooks scored a game-high 17 points for the Lancers in a CCC game in Bristol.
Amanda Zdun added 15 points for Eastern (10-5) and Karissa Smith chipped in with 10.
Platt Tech 22, Wolcott Tech 8: Kimmie Stack and Jen Hislop each had 10 rebounds for the third row game in a row for the Wildcats in Milford.
@Quote, name:Boys basketball
Crosby 96, Seymour 50: Tyshon Rogers scored a game-high 35 points with 12 rebounds and seven assists to lead five double-figure scorers for the Bulldogs in Seynour.
Lex Perez scored 11 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, and Asiem King chipped in with 10 points and seven assists for the Bulldogs (12-1). Stephon Dunbar added 10 points and Jarron Chapman had 11 points.
Tyler Stevens scored a team-high 23 points for Seymour (0-13).
O'Brien Tech 51, Bullard Havens 47: Tamaron Hargett scored a game-high 19 points for the Condors in a CSC game in Bridgeport. Shaquan Jackson had 15 points for the Condors (9-4).
Sydney Womack scored 16 points for Bullard Havens (6-6).
Ellis Tech 49, Wolcott Tech 48: Jordan Panteleakos scored 15 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter as Ellis Tech (4-9) rallied past the Wildcats in Danielson.
Luke Pergola had 18 points for Wolcott Tech (0-10), which led 35-32 after three periods. Asante Maldon and Danneij Diaz both had 14.
Newtown 62, Oxford 36: Julian Dunn scored 16 points and Connor Quinn added 14 for host Newtown. Jason Mraz had 10 points for Oxford (3-9) and Jamers Badas added seven.

Interior design and branding are a beautiful combination that tell visual stories and create a mood. This Finnish, modern restaurant design, Sis Deli + Cafe does so with bold black and white interior design and packaging. Although this isn't a new restaurant, this sibling design team Muotohiomo, did such an amazing job that it stills seems as fresh today as it did when it opened in 2009.
These black gingham bags make a statement all on their own, but when mixed with the white subway tiles and the black and white menu board you've got a perfected balance!
The simplicity of the black counter grounds element into the space. Modern black barstools stand proudly in any interior. The design concept is a very simple look with special attention paid to every detail. Possibly, a modern black pendant light over the counter would have been a great accent and possibly the only thing missing. But then again, we love lighting!
What do you think? Light or No LIght?
Pinnacle Large Black Tech Lighting Mini Pendant Light
Even these black and white gingham cups are perfect. So perfect you wouldn't want to throw them away...
From the tile, to the packaging, to the tray, to the silverware you've got yourself a beautifully designed and branded restaurant that is sure to create a lasting impression. It's thoughtful, simple, and lasting.
And I think this says it just right, "The visual image is a kind of tripwire for the emotions." - Diane Ackerman

So, we featured an image of this awesome art installation as one of our Facebook posts last week and we just couldn't let it go so we decided to blog about it too! A colorful and whimsical umbrella art installation floats above this promenade in Águeda, Portugal. It casts a shadow of geometric shapes on the ground below and fills the streets with a fairy tale like energy. This colorful public art installation is not only functional, but also brings uplifting energy into a quiet community during the lazy days of summer!
The sun shines through the umbrellas and they just light up in the sky! Bringing this type of vibrant energy into your own home is as simple as adding colorful modern ceiling lighting.

Peach Flower Small 15-3/4" Wide Pendant Light
The juxtaposition of the bright colors and the natural elements of the historic buildings form such an interesting composition. The reflection of the colors in the glass windows creates a stained glass like effect.
Colorful glass pendant lighting looks beautiful when installed with this type of juxtaposition. The combination of the colorful sleek glass, mixed with historic brick walls, creates depth in design and adds visual interest to a space.

Photographers Patrícia Almeida and Diana Tavares were able to capture the amazing umbrella installation with photos that evoke so much emotion that you might just feel like you're about to float away on one of those colorful umbrellas. Hope your week has been as magical as this installation!

Why not hold on to Summer as long as possible and just follow it?! This portable beach house design will let you do just that!
Designed by Crosson, Clarke, Carnachan Architects, this home was made to rest within the coastal erosion zone, where all buildings must be removable. So, the "hut" is designed on two thick wooden sleds for movement.
The interiors, like the architecture, were kept simple. But no space should go without modern seating and simple home decor.
What a view! And to think, you could actually turn this home for a different view if you really wanted...
And away they go...

We had a chat with the innovative designers at Koncept and we want to share it with you! We discussed modern design, the importance of form + function, as well as future ideas for Koncept. It all started a couple months ago when we attended the Dwell on Design event. At the event, we ran into Kenneth Ng (President) and Edmund Ng (Vice President) from Koncept and we promised each other we would schedule a longer chat at a later date. Well, we did....
ESL: Are you led by aesthetics or function when you design?
Koncept: Both are equally important. Ultimately it depends on project. For the Zbar / Equo both were equally important. Sometimes, it can even change throughout the process of designing any given project. The Equo was a little more aesthetic when it first came out and was not as functional as it has become over time.
Tono Floor Lamp
ESL: Where do you go for inspiration?
K: We maintain a very free creative process, finding inspiration everywhere including magazines, architecture, open houses. New materials inspire as well. LEDs inspired us to jump in and design Zbar. If we find a good material, we are able to create an exciting design around it.
ESL: Since you mentioned architecture, do you have any favorite architects?
K: Frank Gehry, especially his residential building in Hong Kong. He inspires us to do something special that no one else is doing.
Equo Task Lamp
ESL: How do you select materials?
K: Mostly market availability, need, and pure inspiration become the factors in our material selection process. For example, organic LED is a new material we are starting to work with. It's made with organic materials and consists of a thin sheet of material that glows strongly. They aren't cost effective yet so that's where need comes in. So far, it only last 10k hours vs. 50k of regular LEDs. It's jut not efficient enough yet.
Z Bar Task Lamp
ESL: Why LED? What is all the hype? And what are the negatives, if any?
K: LEDs lasts a long time and they are better for our environment. If we switch to LEDs for general lighting, we'll have less impact on the environment in the long run. Even though the technology is more expensive, consumers need to see that they last 1000s of hrs longer. Consumers will come out on top by lowering their electricity bill and helping the environment at the same time.
The good news is, the cost is coming down. There have been so many advancements lately. We predict the demand for old bulbs will fade out and the cost will continue coming down.
Mosso Task Lamp
ESL: What's in the future for Koncept?
K: Well, most of our current products are for small areas, like desk tops. We want to expand into other categories and do more residential lighting fixtures, possibly large scale modern chandeliers and pendants. We also want to do ambient lighting as well, impacting an entire space with light rather than just a desk top.
Of course we also want to continue monitoring the development of organic LEDs.
Thanks Koncept!
I think we can all agree that there is excitement for what Koncept does next and there's no doubt we will bring it to you as it happens!

Excellent piece of kit
Reviewed by Lisa . Review Posted 30/12/2012
Bought this as my previous external hard drive recently had a power failure so I wanted a drive that didn't require a separate power source.
This drive worked straight out of the box with no power issues and actually backed up about 200gb of stuff on my work laptop in a couple of hours using USB2.0, compared to my previous drive that is very quick. It is also quite small and will not take up much room on my desk at work, I am so impressed by the drive that I am going to buy a second one to use with my Macbook pro.

Windows 8 Pro 64-bit running PS3 Media Server 1.90.1 x64.
I was running 1.80 and upgraded to 1.90.1. Before doing this I stopped the PS3 Media Server service and uninstalled the system-wide installation of Java.
If I run the PS3 Media Server application then the PS3 can see the media server fine, but if I run the service instead then the PS3 cannot see it.
I uninstalled and reinstalled PS3 Media Server, but same issue. I removed the service "sc delete 'PS3 Media Server'" and then reinstalled it, but same issue.
I've verified that wrapper.exe is running along with the pre-packaged Java. No error messages occur when starting the service.
The service worked fine under 1.80.
The machine has been restarted multiple times since this upgrade occurred.

Wraps wine apps to better integrate into OSX
WineBottler is a tool similar to codeweavers Crossover, where separate prefixes are created per app. However, WineBottler 'wraps' or 'bottles' the separate prefixes in an application bundle.
WineBottler allows standalone (i.e. not requiring wine to be installed) applications to be created as well, by including the wine bundle inside the standalone application bundle.
Required OS: not specified
Tags: exe , emulation , wine

This is lots better than wine and doesn't need some knowledge of coding!

Looking forward to more predefined! Would also like Steam game support.
Good app. But more complex windows programs cause problems or run slow. Always take a look at http://appdb.winehq.org to browse for your app and try to get portable versions of your (old) win apps when using Wine(bottler).
just great. Now that I ported almost all reasons for my Bootcamp partition and am looking forward to regain these 15GB discspace, I would like to tag this with "resource", "slim"and "discspace" too ;)
Excellent freeware
alway bypassed this as i thought it was a program for cataloging your wine. Wish i didn't as it's the best way for me to check websites work in internet explorer without using a bloated method of installing parallels and Windows. Its free as well as compared to crossover

Of all former Giants pitchers, Mike LaCoss is probably the last one I expected would aspire to become an internet mogul.
Correction. He is not aspiring.
"I already am one," LaCoss told me the other day.
Who am I to argue? LaCoss is also a philanthropist, who has organized a fundraiser this Sunday for the Bryan Stow Foundation, aiding the Giants' fan who was severely injured at Dodger Stadium three years ago.
LaCoss helped organize the fundraiser through his internet site, ibaseballchannel.com, for which he serves as proprietor and frequent content provider. LaCoss started up the site last year. With video and interactive content, he envisions ibaseballchannel as a quasi-alternative to . . . wait for it . . . the MLB Network.
That's because LaCoss pretty much disdains and scorns the MLB Network.
"They're derelict in their duty to the game," LaCoss said. "Derelict!"
If you recall LaCoss as a Giant, that is typical bluntess. He was a middle-of-the-rotation pitcher for the "Humm Baby" teams of manager Roger Craig in the late 1980's. LaCoss was also a unique personality, often described as "oddball" or "idiosyncratic" or on a bad day, "prickly." He was not a lefthander. He should have been.
Example: A native of Visalia in the Central Valley, LaCoss was a hunter and gun expert. One day at Candlestick Park before batting practice, police received a report of a possible sniper atop the rocky hill west of the stadium who seemed to be firing bullets toward the playing surface.
"Stay in the clubhouse!" came the warning from law enforcement.
LaCoss did just the opposite. He walked out the tunnel and toward the pitching mound, peering up toward the hill, trying to determine what sort of rifle the alleged sniper might be utilizing. LaCoss only returned inside when Craig went to the dugout and screamed.
"Buffy!" yelled the manager. "Get off the field!"
"Buffy" was LaCoss' nickname, originated by teammates as a Cincinnati Reds rookie because with his curly red hair, they thought he resembled a character on the "Family Affair" television show. The nickname sticks with LaCoss today, except that he now uses it for good and not for quirkiness.
This weekend's fundraiser is the latest example. Through the interactive audience of ibaseballchannel.com, LaCoss discovered sentiment for something to benefit the Stow family, as well as other causes supported by his YESS Foundation. So he worked some of his connections and came up with the idea of celebrating his upcoming birthday with a charity gathering.
Thus was born "Buffy's Birthday Bash," which will take place Sunday at the San Mateo Elks Lodge. Tickets are $75, which will include food and live music, dance contest, plus special appearances by other former Giants such as Dave Dravecky, Hector Cruz, Fred Breining and perhaps others.
The co-guest of honor, however, will be the 84-year-old Craig, who can still spin stories masterfully -- and this time will not be yelling at LaCoss to get off the stage. Buffy expects to play guitar on a few songs with the band, as well as organize autograph and photo sessions. Further information is available through the ibaseballchannel.com site.
"This was kind of a spur-of-the-moment thing," LaCoss said. "But we knew some really good guys at that Elks Lodge and we got some people behind it as sponsors. I promise it will be a lot of fun."
That's also the general idea of LaCoss' internet site. Since retiring as a player, he has conducted real estate business and worked as a baseball scout, but seems to have found his true calling online.
Buffy's big beef with the MLB network is that the programming mainly consists of pundits and former players sitting around and blathering . . . and blathering . . . and blathering. His idea was to take a camera and go out to find good stories about baseball culture. And so LaCoss and his crew have interviewed a kayaker in McCovey Cove, former players such as Johnny Bench and chefs who specialize in tailgate fare such as "holiday baseball apples."
"We were pretty naïve about what we were going to do at first," LaCoss said of the programming. "But we've had a steady increase in readership numbers. We're figuring it out."
The channel content also includes plenty of LaCoss opinions, of course. In podcasts, he discusses matters such as baseball's new video system. You won't be surprised to hear that he disapproves of the new setup.
"The bottom line is, if they are legitimately trying to get all the calls right, they have all the money in the world to do it," LaCoss said. "They don't need to go through all this grandstanding protocol they're doing now."
LaCoss' better idea: Have a retired umpire or other official with integrity in each town at every home game, to sit somewhere in the ballpark--probably in a press-box level booth—and quickly review every call before the next pitch. If further time is needed, the review-umpire could push some sort of Jeopardy-style buzzer to briefly delay play. The decision could then be made right on site, instead of the stop-the-flow-and-put-on-headphones-and-go-to-New-York scenario that slows down everything.
"And then," LaCoss said, "the review-umpire should be made accessible to the television audience and reporters to explain the call at the end of the half inning. Make the umpires accessible, too, after the game. It's just ridiculous now the way they're doing it."
Who am I to argue with an internet mogul? Over the years, LaCoss' foundation has contributed more than $400,000 to various causes, mostly supporting youth in the Visalia area. With help from Sunday's birthday celebrants, LaCoss hopes to donate a chunk more to the Stow Foundation. The guy is definitely still quirky. But you have to admit, he is interactively impressive.

Trailing by 28 points in the Central Coast Section Division I final last season, Milpitas scored four unanswered touchdowns to tie the score.
But San Benito scored the game's final touchdown to win the championship 35-28.
Friday night at Rabobank Stadium in Salinas, the Trojans get an opportunity to even the score as they meet San Benito again for the Division I championship.
"They wanted it more than we did last year," Milpitas running back Squally Canada said. "This year it's a completely different team."
The Trojans reached the final with one-sided wins over Homestead and Piedmont Hills. In the two games, Milpitas (10-2) scored 107 points.
San Benito (7-5) scored 99 points in its playoff wins over Independence and top-seeded Alvarez. "They're good, a great team," Milpitas coach Kelly King said. "We're just hoping to get out there and play hard and challenge them."
The Trojans bounced back after closing the regular season with a loss at Los Gatos.
"We turned the ball over and didn't have a great night," King said. "Los Gatos played well. We just try to keep moving forward."

Local law enforcement is utilizing new technologies to keep the public informed, including implementing a regularly updated Facebook page, posting activity logs, missing or wanted persons and other news and tips for keeping safe.
The newest safety tool offered by the Ridgecrest Police Department is a new reverse 911 system that will alert people via cell phone, text, email or landline. Ridge Alert is already in place for landlines, but as Chief Ronald Strand explained at the "Coffee with a Cop" on Friday, June 14, fewer and fewer residences and individuals have landlines. The new system has been online and running for just a week's time.
The Reverse 911 system, or Ridge Alert, is used to keep the public aware in case of emergency situations, such as severe weather or road conditions, missing or wanted persons, power outages and other situations.
The former company the RPD used for Ridge Alert had a limited amount of hard lines, Strand explained, while the new company uses a digital system that can handle the community's phone capacity and do it at faster speeds. The new system will allow people to receive alerts that could affect their residence, not necessarily the person's physical location.
To register, go to the City of Ridgecrest website at http://ridgecrest-ca.gov and click on the Ridge Alert icon at the top of the page and fill out the application.

I use Windows 7 and stream to my PS3. The two are connected via ethernet to my Netgear WNR1000v2 (150N). Was running PMS 1.80.0 and at times it would work and others it wouldn't. I couldn't find a solution that would work consistently. Once I reset my router and it worked, a few times I disabled media servers on the PS3 and re-enabled them, and once I found that clicking the [x] wouldn't close PSM and would minimize it so I had it running six times, closed all but one and then it worked well for a day. I also noticed that a lot of the time it would connect even though PSM would say it couldn't find any renderers, it rarely showed WMP and the PS3 but would still stream for about 90 minutes before I'd have to restart the server.
Tonight I couldn't make it work and I updated to 1.81.0 and that hasn't helped. My PS3 always recognizes Windows Media Player as a server but PMS won't recognize WMP or the PS3 as renderers. I've tried restarting my PC and PS3, letting everything through my firewall, even disabled my firewall, still nothing. I've tried forcing IPs and forcing the PS3 renderer and I've tried using auto settings, no connection. I've used everything I could find applicable to the situation and have come up empty.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Update: I restarted the server a few times, and searched for servers on the PS3 each time. Eventually I got a connection, though PMS says No Renderers were found, Buffer Status: Empty, and lists no renderers. Used with firewall off, watched for haf-hour. Started another show, turned firewall on during playback and caused the PS3 to lose the server. Turned firewall off and server came back up. I've tried allowing everything under the PMS folder but I can't seem to get the server to connect without turning off firewall. What other things can I allow that will affect this?
Side note: still says no renderers, though the PS3 will connect and play media from the server.

A Quote by Michael Murphy on contemplative, knowing, psi, phenomena, thinkers, antiquity, paranormal, mystical, claims, and philosophy
However, given the ancient witness to contemplative knowing and the great abundance of evidence for psi phenomena, many sources of which I cite in subsequent chapters, it is a great mistake to exclude such things from our accounts of human nature. That is why many, if not most, great thinkers since antiquity have given paranormal events and mystical truth claims a central place in their philosophies.

A name held by many women. And no, we was NOT named after the hurricane, quite the contrary, (I was born two decades BEFORE that storm). And, no, the devistation of that storm does not in any way reflect our character. So stop steriotyping the minute we say, "Hi, I'm Katrina" with a smile and a genuine, good heart. (And not all Katrina's are black! So lets stop reading the name and creating an false picture before meeting a person.)
