MARIETTA - Police and firefighters from local departments will forget about portion control Saturday as they attempt to win money for charity.
Representatives of the Marietta police and fire departments, Washington County Sheriff's Office, Devola Volunteer Fire Company and Williamstown Volunteer Fire Department will compete in the Original Pizza Place's Man vs. Pizza Charity Challenge. Whoever can eat a 12-slice, thick-crust Sicillian pizza first in 30 minutes or less gets $500 for the charity of their choice.
The Original Pizza Place has held two such competitions before at its Grand Central Mall location and so far, no one has accomplished the feat, said Kasandra Ruscitto, marketing manager.

Original Pizza Place employee Bianca Workman cuts a large Sicillian pizza into 12 slices at the restaurant on Second Street in Marietta. Contestants in Saturday's Man vs. Pizza event will each try to eat one of those pizzas in half an hour or less.
Among those aiming to be the first to do so is Williamstown volunteer firefighter Tim Smith.
"I'm going to go in hot, see if I can't clear it up as fast as I can," he said.
Smith, 22, said he didn't have to be talked into joining the competition.
Fact Box
If You Go - Man vs. Pizza
* What: Man vs. Pizza Charity Challenge.
* When: 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday, eating starts at 5.
* Where: Parking Partners lot, across from the Original Pizza Place on Second Street in Marietta.
* Who: Representatives of the Marietta police and fire departments, Washington County Sheriff's Office, Williamstown Volunteer Fire Department and Devola Volunteer Fire Company will compete to see who can be the first to eat a large, 12-slice Sicilian pepperoni pizza in 30 minutes or less. A donation will be made to the charity of the winner's choice.
* Extras: Live music and Italian desserts; 10 percent off the bill at the Pizza Place for those who attend.

"My chief ... came up to me and asked me if I wanted to do it, and I said, 'Heck, yes,'" he said.
Smith will be eating for the department's Relay for Life team.
Also chowing down Saturday will be Devola Volunteer Fire Assistant Chief J.J. Bichard. He learned about the contest from the restaurant's Facebook page and threw his hat in the ring, competing for the Gospel Mission Food Pantry in Marietta.
Bichard, 42, said he's always been interested in food competitions and has picked up a few things from watching them over the years.
"Not sitting down while you're eating is one. Standing up seems like it helps," he said.
Ruscitto said it will be interesting to see what approach each contestant takes.
"We saw a couple different strategies before in the previous competitions (like) putting the pizza (slices) on top of each other like a sandwich," she said.
Also in the contest are Marietta Police Officer Aaron Nedeff, for St. Jude Children's Hospital; Marietta firefighter Matt Hively, for the Humane Society of the Ohio Valley; and Washington County Sheriff's Deputy Jason White, for the local Fraternal Order of Police, Gold Star Lodge 188.
Previous Man vs. Pizza events have had open registration, but this one is strictly for charity. There will also be a grudge match between radio personalities from Z106 and 95XIL on the side, Ruscitto said.
The competition will take place in the Parking Partners lot across Second Street from the Original Pizza Place's Marietta location. There will be music, along with Italian desserts and T-shirts for sale, with a portion of the proceeds going to charity.
The festivities start at 4 p.m., with the eating beginning at 5. There's no cost to attend, and people who do will get a ticket for 10 percent off an order at the restaurant after 5.
Customers can also show their support for the competitor or charity of their choice by donating at the restaurant through Saturday. Whatever is donated in that way will go directly to the charity, regardless of who wins the competition, Ruscitto said.

VAIL, Colorado - Charlie Gersbach believed in customer service, and they didn't have to be his customers.In the summer of 1962, Vail business was so lean that pioneers were trying to figure out which part of a pine tree was edible.In his former corporate life, Gersbach was in hotel marketing and sales. In 1962 Vail's Powers That Be hired him to do that for Vail.Compared to Vail these days, not that many people showed up for the winter of 1962. That summer you could throw rocks without hitting a paying customer.No one was here the summer after the inaugural winter, and no one was coming.Gersbach told the tale about the meeting he had with a few of the original investors who decided the place needed to be an active resort and not a private enclave. For that to happen, they had to put some butts in beds.So Gersbach pulled a suit and tie out of the back of his closet - a vestige of his corporate days - and drove to Colorado Springs. He walked into the Broadmoor's sales department like he worked there. And he blended in with the suits.In those days a hotel's group clients were listed on a chalkboard in the sales department - both those with signed contracts and prospects, Gersbach said.Gersbach strapped a studious look on his face, purposefully strode over to that chalkboard and started writing down the names of the Broadmoor's prospects.That done, he drove back to Vail and started working the phones, convincing several of those Broadmoor prospects that they'd be better served with a trip to a quaint ski resort nestled in the middle of the Rockies."Trying to market summer Vail is nothing new," Gersbach said.We're not saying that in 1966 that's how Vail landed the 46th annual meeting of Rocky Mountain Society of Orthodontists, but they ended up here and not somewhere else.Gersbach, or course, was one of the partners who developed Manor Vail in the 1960s.Staff Writer Randy Wyrick can be reached at 970-748-2935 or email@example.com.

Hi there. I'm 34 yo female with 2 kids (aged 5 and 2). I've been putting off exercise since before I had my first child. I'm 5'7" and 141 pounds, so not really looking to lose weight, just really want to get fit and definitely tone up.
I just started C25K and did W1D1 today, I think my muscles will be hating me tomorrow but I feel really good! I used the Robert Ullrey podcast and thought it was really helpful.I look forward to doing C25K with you all and supporting each other!!
So glad I found this thread!
Hey Megan! Just completed W1D2 and I am proud to say that I completed the entire thing! I told you on D1, I missed about 3 minutes of the walk/run. I am really happy right now. I may end of staying with W1 workout next week just to help build my endurance, but we will see. I am one of those people that like to see what I have lost on the scale on a daily basis too! What I have learned is that I would become discouraged if I have been working out and did not see any change on the scale. That has been part of my problem so far. I would sabotage my own efforts because of the scale. I would much rather see the results in the way my clothes are fitting. I know now that sometimes the weight loss is seen that way first and on the scale second. Anyway, your fiancee hiding your scale should help a lot also! LOL!
If you started losing weight 5 weeks ago and have lost 12lbs, that is a reason to be glad. That is a remarkable weight loss. I am sure the Couch to 5K will help you get down to your goal weight. Lord, it does work some muscles I knew I had, but was definitely not using! I forgot about the tee shirt you get after running a 5K. I think I will set that as part of my goal too! That would be a great accomplishment so why not show it to the world!
Let me know how it's going!
Hey Amanda! Welcome to the board. I started C25K this week and completed my second day today. I have two very active kids and I have found that working out in the morning works better for me. In the afternoon, I could be worn out from work then I have to come home and help with homework while I am cooking. It makes for a very long afternoon. So far, it has been working out great. By the time I finish working out, I take a shower and wake the kids up before going downstairs to start breakfast. I had such a rough day at work yesterday that if I was supposed to work out in the afternoon, I would not have made it. I just try to eat sensibly during the day!
Anyway, let us know how it is going!
I think it is great that you have the support of your husband! The fact that he is a Marine and used to all this strenuous activity is a plus. He can relate to what you are feeling. My husband is supportive, but I figure he is waiting on me to lose my momentum like I always do! Now that Megan reminded me of the 5K tee shirt that you get if you complete the run, I am on fire! Just completed W1D2 and I actually feel great! I like being able to tell people that I am training for a 5K.
On D1, I had the same feeling of my lungs being on fire, but today, it was still there, but much better. I did not completely finish D1. I did not walk/run for about 3 minutes, but I am happy to say that I completed all of D2! Let us know about your progress!
Hey Sarah! Welcome to the board! Even though you have hypothyrodism and PCOS, you can lose weight. It will be a slow process, but it can be done. We will be here to encourage you all the way! I hope that you meet your goal weight by Dec 31, but please do not get discouraged if you don't. Just look at the weight you will have lost. I am telling you this from experience. I would sabotage my own weight loss efforts because I wanted to be a certain weight by a certain date! It can be very discouraging. Even though I had lost weight in the process, the only thing I could look at is that I did not meet my goal. Either way, we will be there to keep you uplifted! Let us know about your progress.
I finished W1D2 yesterday -- yay!
Ended up leaving work (in the RAIN -- ugh), picking the kids up from their after-school program, running them to Tae Kwon Do, dropped them with the husband, hit the grocery store for last minute dinner supplies, got home, refrigerated refrigeratables,changed into exercise gear, and hit the treadmill.
I have to admit I was feeling a bit rushed since I knew everyone would be home in about 40 minutes and my goal was to do my run, get my shower, and get dinner started before they walked in the door. For feeling like I had a gun to my back, I'd say it went well They got home before I made it to the kitchen to start dinner, but everyone appears to have survived my non-Donna Reed-esque behaviour without too terribly much trauma.
I'll be walking today, probably for about an hour (I do some incline invervals when I'm walking), then it's W1D3 tomorrow. Still pumped. This is a good thing.
Glad to hear everyone's progress -- keep it up, folks!
Veleka, Thanks so much for the encouragement. Having my goal met by Dec 31 is really a hope but if it takes a bit longer than that I'm ok with it. I know how putting a date on it can be discouraging. Especially with how slow the weight comes off for me. The main this is that it IS coming off. My medicine dosage is finally correct so I'm thrilled after trying to lose weight over the past year or so and getting nowhere, not even one pound. And that was very discouraging. As long as I can hold steady at around 2lbs lost each week I will only be about 3-8lbs away from the range I'd like to get to and stay inside.
So, what does everyone do on their non-run days?
May I join in???????
Hi, I'm Natalie, I'm 36, I'm a nurse, I'm in grad school....I have four WONDERFUL children. Two years ago I ran the New York Marathon and I felt GREAT but, it was such a freedom to not "have" to run after the marathon that I just stopped running-something I regret to this day. I have gained nearly 50 lbs since then and even at that point I was about 10 lbs heavier than I wanted to be. I have been feeling the major stresses of a job, family and grad school for the past year (during which I've gained about 20 of those pounds). I have realized that I sacrificed running because it wasn't as urgent as the other things in my life. I am starting to take a new approach as of this week though-running will be my #1 priority and then everything else will fall into place. Right??
Embrace the Journey
Thanks Gregory...
I actually already eat a super-clean diet
I started December 31st, and kicked all Frankenfoods out of my life, all processed sugars, all sodas, and have lost 52 lbs. So I am eating right, pretty muchbut I admit I have barely touched carbs because I always would gain with them. I am going to start out VERY cautious with them, that's for sure.
Frankenfoods are the Devil!]:)
Now, WHY won't my lovely user pic avatar thingy show up? I am getting annoyed!
Good grief, you NEED running now, Bad! For sanity! LOL. That's alot going on!
Hop on in!
Day after W1D1 I feel really really good. LOL my weight is up a lb. but I ran at night so that's the price. Am debating if I want to stop weighing myself every day or not. I am a night-weigher too. It is such a bad habit but I am obsessed with that scale! I should get my daughter to hide mine, great idea!
I just realized that i didn't have fire-lung at all running. Walking my husky these last few months probably has helped more than I realized. I am sure the fire-lung will find me later though!
Hi everyone,
Hope you're all having a great day!
I did the 2nd day of week 1 today. I was excited to get started! and my husband actually joined me. I'm the one who has been walking, walking, walking for months now while he's been lounging on the couch. But he kept up with me and even ran faster than me, passed me. What's up with that? At one point he was even running backwards. Show off.
Anyway, I found it a tad easier to run the 60 second segments today but was still huffing and puffing! My neighborhood is not real hilly but there are some definite inclines...so maybe that makes it a little more challenging.
I'm so looking forward to the day I can run three times around the perimeter of the neighborhood, which is 3 miles!
Yeah carbs are very high in energy, but if you're active now as opposed to before they shouldn't put the weight on. I wouldn't dive into a pound of pasta or anything yet though haha
Just got in the door from finishing W1D2 and WHOA. I haven't felt the greatest today and had no appetite to eat. I think that really kicked my behind. I only got 2 miles and that included the warm up/cool down. Friday I will definitely remember to eat normally throughout the day. All in all tho it feels great to push through and finish it even tho you feel like you're going to die. lol
Just finished W1D2 and I feel pretty good! My lungs weren't burning as bad as d1, but the tops of my thighs were burning! My breathing felt a little better today as well. I'm really optimistic about getting through the program and hopefully doing a 10k or half marathon early next year. Keep up the good work everyone!
I felt a little more sore in my legs after W1D2, but I completed it. Good luck on running a 10k or half marathon. For right now, I am aiming for a few 5k runs, but hopefully I can work my way up to longer marathons. Anyway, keep us posted on your progress!

Jacobs ready for big senior season with Gators
Published: Saturday, August 3, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, August 3, 2013 at 11:14 p.m.
GAINESVILLE. Fla., — With Florida having lost departed starting tackles Sharrif Floyd and Omar Hunter from its strong 2012 defense, senior Damien Jacobs entered preseason camp as one of the leading candidates to help fill the void.
He doesn't plan on wasting his chance.
"This is a really good opportunity," said the 6-foot-3, 297-pounder from Gibson. "It's my senior year, and everybody wants to play their senior year. I think I have a great opportunity to start and would like to nail a spot down to make a good representation of me for my family and my football team."
Jacobs, an H.L. Bourgeois product, was one of the top prospects in the nation coming out of high school. He verbally committed to Florida State, but ended up attending East Mississippi Community College where he started for two seasons, helping lead the Lions to an undefeated record and the NJCAA national championship in 2011.
He finished that year with 47 total tackles, including eight tackles-for-loss, two sacks, four quarterback hurries and two fumble recoveries.
With his recruitment opened up again, he signed with Florida and played in 12 games as a backup for the Gators last season, recording 10 tackles with 2.5 sacks.
"The biggest thing last year was just getting used to the tempo and the speed of the game," Jacobs said. "The schemes and the types of plays that are being called are a lot more complex."
The Gators signed another EMCC defensive tackle, Darious Cummings, after last season.
Cummings, a 6-1, 301-pound junior, also originally signed with FSU but is now with the Gators, and Jacobs has helped show him the ropes.
"The expectations here are a lot for JUCO tackles, so that's the biggest thing for a transfer," Jacobs said. "If you can get over that, you'll be alright."
Yet another EMCC defensive tackle, 6-4, 305-pounder Jarran Reed, signed with Florida as well, but he did not qualify academically.
"Yeah, I was disappointed because I wanted him to make it and give us three guys representing our JUCO," Jacobs said. "But overall, it's been good.
"Darious and I can relate to each other about our paths, so we can be honest with each other. We both signed with Florida State in 2010, so we've kind of been friends since and have been having conversations for a couple of years now."
The fact that the two of them could wind up playing against the Seminoles later this year is certainly ironic.
"It was a blessing in disguise that the situation didn't work out for either one of us," Jacobs said. "We're in a better place for ourselves now, so I think it was a good thing for both of us."
Jacobs says he knows what he has to do to be a major contributor for the Gators in 2013.
"I just need to stay focused, get better every day, and continue to work hard," he said. "There are a lot of great athletes here at the University of Florida, so the only way you're going to get on the field is to outwork them."

25 July 2008
Just to remind myself of all I should be reading, I decided to take this photo of my most immediate to-be-read pile: books that I have either begun reading recently or need to start reading very, very soon because there are upcoming projects related to them (for instance, I agreed to write about Meja Mwangi for KenyaImagine, warning them that I wouldn't be able to get to it until August, but now August is ... a week away...) I'm reviewing the Nisi Shawl collection for Strange Horizons, and probably later reviewing the Greg Bear novel for them, and I owe SF Site a review of the LeGuin books (I haven't even gotten myself a copy of the second book in the trilogy yet...) Some of the others are for classes I'm teaching in the fall, while assorted others are books that I started reading recently and then had to run away from for a moment to go do something else and haven't had a chance to pick up again. Meanwhile, the mailman just drove up my driveway, which means he's got packages that won't fit in the mailbox.....

I like your mention of "most immediate to-be-read pile." I have at least three TBR piles - one on the bookcase in the corner of our bedroom, one on my dresser, and one on the bookshelf in the family room. And of course, the public library is a TBR pile all in itself.ReplyDelete
I liked ANOTHER BULLSHIT NIGHT IN SUCK CITYReplyDelete
I have piles like that! The problem is that I seem to keep picking up books that aren't in the piles and reading those instead. I don't know why that happens. Too much temptation around, I suppose.ReplyDelete

WHEELING - West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen wants to reconnect his team with the Mountaineers fan base. It started Saturday when WVU arrived at Wheeling Island Stadium as an estimated 1,500 people filled the stands to watch West Virginia take the field in their first open practice of the spring.
''It's always fun to come to Wheeling,'' Holgorsen said, ''we've had nothing but good times here. I appreciate the good weather. We might come up here every day if the weather is like this.''
The practice lasted for about two and a half hours and included offensive and defensive drill sessions as well as a full 11-on-11 scrimmage that took place in the final 20 minutes.

''Our guys are excited about this,'' Holgorsen said. ''The idea originated because spring practice gets redundant. To be able to change things up a little bit is good for our guys.
''It's got a little bit of a road game feel to it, too. Being able to go out and practice on the road, in a different environment, ignore the surroundings, and just go out and play ball is really good.''
The practice gave fans an opportunity to see quarterback Skyler Howard, a junior college transfer, as well as running back Rushel Shell, a Pitt transfer, for the first time.
''Skyler does some things well,'' Holgorsen said. ''He also struggles with some things as well. Naturally he does a great job of extending the play, which was a problem we had last year at the quarterback spot.
''Rushel has done a good job. He's trying to grasp the offense and what he's doing.
''Once we get these guys to the point where they aren't thinking about what they are doing, that's when they'll be good. The guys like Karl Joseph and KJ Dillon know what they are doing. Those guys aren't thinking about what they need to do, so they are able to react a lot better. Kevin White, Mario Alford, Dreamius Smith and Adam Pankey all know what to do now. We are able to see those guys improve, because they aren't thinking. The new guys are still thinking.''
Howard took the majority of the snaps with the first team offense during the brief scrimmage, while Paul Millard and Logan Moore also saw time under center.
The practice also gave fans a chance to see new defensive coordinator Tony Gibson on the sidelines.
''I thought the kids came out and executed well,'' Gibson said. ''Great crowd, great people in this area that support our program. Any time we can do this for our fans is good.''
Gibson, who is in his second stint with the Mountaineers, returned to WVU after serving as the assistant head coach, safeties coach and defensive special teams' coordinator at Arizona during the 2012 season. The Wildcats finished 8-5 overall and won the Gildan New Mexico Bowl.
Another new face on the sidelines this year is Tom Bradley, who will serve as the senior associate head coach as well as defensive line coach.
''He's tremendous person,'' Holgorsen said. ''He's a great guy to talk to, and he's got tons of stories which are fun to hear. His knowledge of the game and his knowledge of defense, how to motivate kids is phenomenal. He's got a great amount of experience. He's as good as they come.''
Bradley brings 33 years of coaching experience, all at Penn State, including defensive coordinator from 2000-2011 and serving the final four games as the interim head coach. He helped the Nittany Lions finish with 13 double-figure win seasons, 20 seasons with at least nine wins and 26 bowl appearances, including the 1982 and the 1996 national championships.
Following the practice, the Mountaineers paid a visit to the Mountaineer Athletic Club as well as the 1100 Club.
''While we are in town here we wanted to get with some of the boosters and talk with them,'' Holgorsen said. ''The players like this too. They like having eyes on them. The monotony of just practice without anyone watching can get tiresome. To be able to get out here in front of fans is good. It means a lot to Mountaineer Nation that we are able to get out here and show that we are working hard to try and put a better product out on the field next year.''
The Mountaineers will hit the road again on April 5 when they head to Laidley Field in Charleston for another open practice. Spring practice will conclude with the annual Gold-Blue Game on April 12 at 1 p.m.

SL America president Y.K. Woo cited "several key factors" contributing to Friday's announcement that SL Tennessee will construct a new 250,000-square foot building to join its two existing facilities in the Clinton/I-75 Industrial Park, according to information provided by the Tennessee Department of Economic & Community Development.
The South Korean automotive parts manufacturer will invest $80.5 million and create 1,000 new jobs in Anderson County. Located in Clinton since 2001, TDEC stated this will be the company's fifth expansion.
"Once again," Woo stated, "SL Tennessee is proud to announce that Clinton has been chosen as the newest site for expansion to help fulfill the global vision of SL Corporation.
"Several key factors played a role in SL Corporation's decision. …
"First is the support we have received from the state of Tennessee, the city of Clinton, Anderson County, TVA, Clinton Utilities Board and the Anderson County Economic Development Association.
"Second is the quality and availability of labor at our Clinton facility.
"Finally, SL Corporation has chosen Clinton for this latest expansion because the business climate in Tennessee and Anderson County has enabled us to be successful. We hope to build on that success and continue to grow in the future."
Gov. Bill Haslam, one of several guest speakers at Friday's event, said SL Tennessee "has been an outstanding corporate citizen in Anderson County for nearly 15 years — and we are grateful to the company for bringing us one step closer to our goal of making Tennessee the No. 1 location in the Southeast for high-quality jobs."
SL Tennessee will begin construction in August 2014 with a goal of being fully operational by April 2015.
The new facility will manufacture head-lamps and tail-lamps for the automotive market. With the addition of the new building, the company will also be consolidating its data infrastructure for North America to its Clinton, Tenn., location.
"In just the past two years, the automotive parts manufacturing sector has announced the creation of nearly 1,300 jobs and the capital investment of $200 million in Anderson County," County Mayor Terry Frank stated in a release. "SL's expansion is proof of their hard work and commitment to quality, as well as a testament to the economic development team's desire to assist our existing industries." She applauded county commissioners for their work.
Clinton Mayor Scott Burton said that Friday's announcement represents the largest creation of new jobs in the city's history.
U.S. Sen. Bob Corker, who also spoke Friday, said the announcement is yet another example of Tennesseans benefiting from what he called "the auto jobs multiplier effect," and congratulated SL and Haslam for strengthening an already successful partnership.

Brooke Ristow stirs and stirs before dabbing her finger in a mixing bowl filled with what looks like thick frosting.
She isn't going for a taste, but rather to smear a dollop on her 2-year-old daughter's nose.
Wearing an apron in her Costa Mesa kitchen, Ristow has whipped up a batch of 30 SPF sunscreen. Unlike the long ingredient list on a typical bottle of sunscreen, she used only shea butter, organic coconut oil and zinc oxide powder.
The do-it-yourself trend isn't just for making necktie curtains or furniture from reclaimed wood. A number of health and hygiene products can be made at home for those seeking simpler versions without potentially toxic chemicals.
"I don't have some secret recipe or ingredient," said Ristow, 33, a teacher turned stay-at-home mom. "If more people are using something natural, I think it's better."
She also makes her own deodorant, something she never needed to wear until her hormones changed after giving birth to her first daughter five years ago.
As a new mother, she wanted to avoid chemicals, so she experimented with various natural brands that don't contain aluminum, such as Tom's of Maine.
"Tom's doesn't work on me, and I smell like a hippie," Ristow said.
So she began playing with different homemade recipes. She mixed together a concoction made of baking soda, arrowroot (starch) and coconut oil. She found a cute Mason jar at a garage sale and gave it to a friend for her birthday last year.
"I said, 'This a really weird present, but I think you will like it,'" Ristow said.
The friend shared the homemade deodorant with her husband, who works in construction. He took some samples to work and made the first sale for Ristow. She has since launched her own business at Etsy.com, selling deodorant and sunscreen online through smell-swell.com.
Christy Funk, owner of Belly Sprout, a natural-living store for mothers in Fullerton and Santa Ana, teaches a holistic natural remedies class.
"I've definitely seen this flood of DIY," she said. "Beauty products are always fun. It's like a perfume or a good cookie or chocolate -- it can be luxurious. You become your own little chemist."
Funk said making health or hygiene products comes out of greater experimentation with cooking and an emphasis on organic ingredients.
"It's just an extension in the kitchen because we've seen such a food craze," she said. "The culture that we live in now, especially in Southern California, is that people want to make things. If they can make a body butter with a couple of ingredients and you've got this luxurious salve for the body, it costs less, plus you know exactly what's going into it."
Kelly Coyne of Los Angeles co-wrote "Making It: Radical Home-Ec for a Post-Consumer World" with her husband. She has taken a DIY approach from head to toe.
Coyne makes her own shampoo soap, then uses vinegar as a finishing hair rinse. She makes lotion and lip balm. She creates healing salves for bug bites and bruises.
"Once you start doing a few things for yourself, you think 'Why can't I do that for myself?' " Coyne said. "You start expanding your skill set."
Coyne said she couldn't find chemical-free products, so she started making them.
"You eat your lip balm," she said. "Your skin is the biggest organ in your body. I just don't know what the chemicals are doing in my body. I don't know what they're doing in the environment or in the water supply. I don't know how they're manufactured. I don't know anything about them at all."
Coyne said making soap is more of an art because of working with lye, but she makes a year's worth at a time. Her only failure has been an attempt to make red lipstick.
"It's as time-consuming as you want to make it," Coyne said. "Once you have the stuff on hand and know what you're doing, it takes five minutes to make lip balm or lotion."

A Stable Bass Rig
The 171 Pro Bass measures 17'10" and is 81" in the beam. She weighs about 1075 lbs. dry and carries 21 gallons of fuel.
Smoker Craft 171 Pro Bass
By Capt. Rob Smith
On the stern
This model is designed for the latest four stroke engines, like the Honda 90 hp EFI. On the stern, you have room to cast, and without the casting chair, it is easy to move from port to starboard working fish. Stability at the stern is terrific. I was moving around checking her out and felt comfortable even when relaxing with my foot balanced on the gunwales and picking up gear on the docks. Two dry boxes in the stern will keep your gear and life jackets handy. Access to the mechanicals, pumps, batteries, etc. is across the aft end of the stern platform. The fish box is a carry-over from the northern market that southerners will appreciate. The 50" combination pitch box/livewell/baitwell gives you tons of room regardless of the type of fish you seek. The stern platform measured about 40" deep and nearly the width of the beam.
In the cockpit
The 171 Pro Bass is typical of most bass rigs I have been on. Three across seating with a fold-down center seat for easy access to and from the stern. There is a little storage under it, not much. I am not a small guy, so I felt a bit snug at the helm. I didn't feel like I had freedom of movement in the footwell and the throttle didn't go into full reverse freely as my hip was in the way. Both of these things are simple enough to get used to, just my observation from the driver's seat. The instruments were positioned well for good visibility, and the low profile windshield offered reasonable protection to the driver. The cockpit measured about 31" by the width of the beam, with a cockpit depth or interior height of 18".
On the bow
The bow casting deck offers 67" by 72" of freedom, and a base to mount a casting chair. The 171 Pro Bass is pre-rigged for trolling motors and has a tilt switch to pick up the big motor when you are ready to begin trolling for the lunkers in the lake. Trolling motor batteries for the 24 volt system are spread between two bow dry boxes to maintain weight and balance. The cranking battery is in the stern aft compartment.
My test rig was set up with a Motor Guide 46 with a tethered foot control that worked quite well. The bow light is stowed in a clip up front so you don't have to dig under all your gear in the bow storage boxes as the sun goes down. The center locker is designed to stow your rods and is lockable to make sure they are still in there after you go in for your coffee in the mornings on your way to the ramp.
The 171 Pro Bass is 17'10" length overall with a beam of 6'9". She tips the scales at 1075 lbs. dry without engine. She has a fuel capacity of 21 gallons and is rated for up to 90 hp outboards. Maximum weight capacity is 1225 lbs. Bottom and side gauge is 0.100 aluminum, all welded.
The 171 Pro Bass was easy to drive and responsive. In my opinion, this model is a good choice for those fishermen wanting some of the same creature features of the professional anglers, yet in a package that is affordable, durable and practical in their driveway.

EAGLE COUNTY, Colorado - The 2015 World Alpine Championships are now officially the next World Championships in World Cup skiing - the International Ski Federation flag was handed over to the Vail Valley Foundation in Schladming, Austria, on Sunday.While the ceremony was mostly symbolic, it marks a major turning point for the local organizing committee - the World Championships responsibility is now in its hands. Members traveled to Austria for the 2013 World Alpine Ski Championships in waves of three, taking in the experience and energy of championships held in Europe, an undoubtedly different experience than 2015 is likely to be in Vail and Beaver Creek.The contingent included Ceil Folz, president of the Vail Valley Foundation; Vail Mayor Andy Daly; Vail Councilwoman Susie Tjossem; Vail Resorts International President John Garnsey and Vail Mountain Chief Operating Officer Chris Jarnot, to name a few.Tjossem, who's also the chair of the 2015 festival committee and is executive director of the Colorado Ski & Snowboard Museum, said there were about 50,000 people at each event in Schladming. "The town was just overwhelmed with people," Tjossem said. "The Austrians just did an amazing job of keeping the energy high. The fan base was amazing."While the Vail contingent was there to learn from the Austrians, they learned that the Austrians have also clearly learned from Americans, too. Tjossem said there were a lot of event production aspects that mimicked the way major American sporting events - such as the Super Bowl, the World Series and Stanley Cup playoffs - are organized."Music is everything, and it needs to be in the background all the time," Tjossem said of the mindset of the Schladming organizers. "They never turn it off - the announcers speak over it."Jarnot said the energy in Schladming was incredible. He also noticed a key difference between Schladming and Vail/Beaver Creek right away: In Schladming, everything - from registration to the media center to the stadium and awards ceremonies - exists within about a half-mile radius. "Ours is like the opposite extreme of that," Jarnot said. "What we talked a lot about was achieving the same easy access to everything they had across our entire venue through really good transportation. We learned just how important that's going to be."Jarnot said the committee knew it would be important and has already been working tirelessly to ensure transportation is the best it can be in 2015. A special transportation committee exists within the organizing committee to sort out all the kinks before the event begins two years from now.Jarnot said the Schladming organizers graciously hosted the Vail contingent, teaching what they've learned about what works and what doesn't when hosting an event of such magnitude. Fans stopped them on the street to talk to them about 2015 after seeing the logos which committee members wore throughout the championships.The handing over of the flag now makes 2015 that much more real. The clock is now ticking."We've been focused on February 2015 all along, but yeah, now that this (Schladming) event is going to be over with, there's a sense of urgency," Jarnot said. Tjossem said the committee will have a debriefing as soon as everyone's back in town. Also, in April, the International Ski Federation will be hosting a debriefing of the Schladming event in Vail.There will be a lot of lessons learned, Tjossem said. "You take the Super Bowl and you carry that out for 17 days," Tjossem said. And no organizer has lost sight of one of the most lucrative aspects of hosting a World Championships: the exposure."Having a World Championship means you're a credible ski resort," Tjossem said. "The investment we're making is to be prideful of the ski product we have, but it's really about marketing."The marketing has already begun, too, especially over the course of the championships in Schladming. The committee set out a goal to get noticed on TV a lot in Austria, and Tjossem said they accomplished that.Committee members are in touch with the reality that ski racing in America is nothing close to what it is in Europe. There are some fans, sure, but World Cup ski racers are household names in Europe. That's where the marketing becomes even more important, Jarnot said. "We have a different challenge to get people to come and participate in the event," Jarnot said. "We're going to have to work hard to convince people to come check it out."Assistant Managing Editor Lauren Glendenning can be reached at 970-748-2983 or email@example.com.

Pottawatomie County sheriff's deputies are looking for a 17-year-old runaway who left home with his parents' medications, firearms and about 1,000 rounds of ammunition.
Undersheriff Travis Palmer said the teen left his home in the 32000 block of Waco Road in a red, 1991 Ford Ranger pickup. The truck has a Browning sticker on the back with a deer head and ribbons through the horns. The tag is 680-HSQ, Palmer said.
The teen, whose name isn't being released, has been entered in a national database as a runaway, Palmer said, along with the pickup.
Palmer said they are concerned since he took medications, weapons and all the ammo.

Each season, one of the issues youth baseball leagues deal with is the recruitment of new volunteer coaches or managers. Children get older and parents who coach move with them, thus opening up spots for new coaches. League officials are then faced with the quandary of providing a good experience for the children who register.
How does your league go about facilitating this process?
They beg, plead and bribe the new and unsuspecting moms and dads.
We anti-bribe. We charge them money if they don't.
We give parents three options. We tell them they MUST either:
1. Volunteer to work the concession stand
2. Volunteer to umpire
3. Volunteer to coach
Most take the latter. Then after they go through the appointment/approval process, go through training, participate in tryouts and the draft, and conduct pre-season practices, THAT'S when we tell them they are still responsible for finding concession stand workers and umpires.
Our LL just keeps promoting them up through the system on tenure regardless of ability. We had former college players sitting in the stands while clueless dads coached.
It's getting parents to do the other stuff that takes arm twisting or hostage taking. We took their money hostage. We had a $75 volunteer deposit refundable after commitments were filled.
We are lucky in our program. This is my sixth year and I am the junior in service in the Majors. It is in a ten team league with no Dads managing
In our AAA/10 year old league with 8-10 teams, there are five non-Dads with the junior having served for five years.
Some of the managers are Dads that never left and others are young guys that played baseball and were looking to get involved. In addition, we have about a dozen young guys that have worked as assistants for two or more years with some waiting to take a managers job when open.
Banks, financial services and insurance companies require young people to have a community activity for business development. That and alumni is where we keep a pipeline of young guys coming in the league.
Once you get it started, they will find you.
I can appreciate the volunteer deposit but it speak poorly of today's parents because when I coached LL there was no question. The team Mom knew the concession stand schedule and called the parents and told them when to be there. No one ever missed.
So they are now irresponsible bi##ching PITA agents!
and their kids should all play SS. LOL
Coach.......that's PROBABLY back when you had to "try out" to play baseball.....not pay to play.
There is no such thin as "pay to play". This has all happened in the last 10 yrs.
Our travel program has dues of $200 a month and you have to try-out for the opportunity to pay and you are not guaranteed to play. The PITA parents are weeded out in a hurry.
The parent pays for their child to be on a TEAM. This guarantees him NOTHING except a uni and MPT. Kids don't know anything about the game. They are taught how to play, what the positions are. They actually understand the concept of TEAM. The parents don't.
The player gets what he earns or should.
Don't normally have a problem getting managers and coaches the problem is getting good umpires.
Yes, kids get older and parents move out with them but new kids take their place and as do their parents.
We generally have more manager/coach applications than we need but we're always looking for more umpires. One good thing about umpires is some of them stay involved even after their kids move on.
this was in our local paper and posted on our league website:
+We give parents three options. We tell them they MUST either:
1. Volunteer to work the concession stand
2. Volunteer to umpire
3. Volunteer to coach+
Then it's really not Volunteering is it!!!
I guess you do what you have to.
One question, if a parent came down to sign a kid up and said he didn't want to do any of the three, would you turn the parent/kid away?
"problem is getting good umpires"
My daughter thought umpiring 12U rec softball would be fun. Since she was an admired high school and travel player she saw an opportunity to give something back to the community and be a role model. After two weeks she quit. She got tired of coaches and parents who didn't know the rules yelling at her and insulting her.

Cher said no to Russia.
Right -- the whole country. Just like that.
The singer/actress/fabulous dresser says she turned down an opportunity to be part of the upcoming Sochi Olympic Games, after the country's recent much-publicized crackdown on public homosexuality.
Cher said a friend of hers, "who is a big oligarch over there," called and asked her to be a good will ambassador to the Olympic Games. "I immediately said no," said the gay icon and mother of transgender Chaz Bono. "I want to know why all of this gay hate just exploded over there. He said the Russian people don't feel the way the government does."
It wasn't clear what the Russian "oligarch" person wanted Cher to do, but she's not going to do it. And the Sochi Games will obviously be that less fantastic because of it.

Steven Aftergood directs the FAS Project on Government Secrecy. The Project works to reduce the scope of national security secrecy and to promote public access to government information.
He writes Secrecy News, which reports on new developments in secrecy policy for readers in media, government and among the general public.

Liverpool Message Board
Simon Mignolet
Just read a message about some possible agreement on the cards for Simon Mignolet, the Sunderland goal keeper. I wonder what, if anything is going on there? What does it mean with Reina?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Welcome Simon Mignolet, you are an ugly fella and nowhere near as cool as Pepe, hopefully you are better at catching beachballs and indeed, catching footballs. Seriously though, I think the situation is that BR knows that Pepe will only leave us for Barca, that will happen and we shouldnt begrudge him as he has been very loyal to us and a great servant. Mignolet had an outstanding year and is a player on the up, he wanted to move this summer and Arsenal amongst others would have made a move soon enough. We might be buying him slightly prematurely with Pepe likely to stay another season before replacing Victor Valdes, but we wanted to make sure we got the right man for when the inevitable happens.
Either way, if he gets to spend a year working with Pepe, that can only be good in terms of transition, it isnt as simple as just switching players, it really is a very different way of playing for a keeper into our system. There is always the possibility that Barca will try to sell Valdes still this summer regardless of whether he wants to see out his contract, in which case Pepe's sale will cover the Mignolet outlay, we won't be held to ransom trying to get a replacement and we might have a strong bargaining position for exchanging something exciting from the Catalans.
Mignolet confirmed. Wow we're flying at this early stage. How good it will all be is another matter but at least they'll get a whole preseason together.
let the Reina bandwagon begin I guess
Definitely coming it seems
£11m and due for a medical very soon.
Reina staying too unless there's a bid from Barca of course
Funny enough, I just asked the question to my friend, though there is nothing concrete or in quotes that I've seen.
The only quotes we have heard are from both Reina and Rodgers, that he's happy and staying at Liverpool. Obviously everything these days needs to be taken with a pinch of salt, but Reina actually seems genuinely happy with life in Liverpool and has said numerous times, he's pleased with the progress and how they just need to add players, and kick on from the end of this past season.
The real reason I'm temporarily dismissing this is because if Reina does stay, there's no reason for Mignolet to move, especially considering he is fighting neck to neck with Thibault Courtois of Atletico (loan for chelski) to be the #1 keep for Belgium.. Coming in as a back up or open competition, isn't in his best interest. Also, I think Valdes may stay at Barca one more year, unless Monaco offer a hard to resist offer, since Valdes won't re-sign for an extension.. From quick reads, Valdes seems set to stay there until 2014..

I told you 6 months ago Reina was finished, he was dropped and a ruse of injury was claimed. Insiders at the club KNOW he fell out with Buck........now he's moving on, catch up yank and get with the programme.
I know this has nothing to do with anything
but Jason u like long answers don't you every answer is long from you

No matter what Reina said about being happy with life in Liverpool, he'd be off in a flash if Barca come calling – make no mistake about it, Jason.
Sadly for EPL clubs, the pull of the two La Liga giants (Real and Barca) are too strong to resist for most players, especially Spanish born players.
Regarding Mignolet, I'm not too sure if he's good enough to command the No. 1 jersey for Liverpool. I think Tim Krul would be a better replacement should Reina leaves.

A Day in the Vineyard
Adam Carpenter
Executive chef of The Duck Club, Lafayette
When former Jasper's Corner Tap & Kitchen chef Adam Carpenter decided to jump ship this past fall and take over the reins at the Lafayette Park Hotel restaurant, it was to be closer to family -- and return to his roots. Carpenter got his start at Danville's Blackhawk Grille, and he's a longtime fan of Livermore Valley wines. This itinerary, he says, is perfect for a day among the vineyards with his girlfriend.
Wente Vineyards: "It's one of the originals of the Livermore Valley," Carpenter says. "The wine always has a classic feel. It's always such an amazing location to drive to and has so much to offer. Also, the food there is always great."
5565 Tesla Road and 5050 Arroyo Road, Livermore; www.wentevineyards.com
Concannon Vineyard: "Just the nature of the family business and the culture around the winery is amazing. Always a great place to go. They have a collaboration for Irish whiskey and have a private label of that, too. Awesome."
4590 Tesla Road, Livermore; www.concannonvineyard.com
Steven Kent Winery: "It has an amazing tasting room and amazing wines, so balanced in all of their flavors. They do have some of the more expensive wines in the valley, but are worth it. The Premier cab is one of my favorites."
5443 Tesla Road, Livermore; www.stevenkent.com
Lunch: Lanna Thai: "Best takeout -- or even better, in-house -- Thai for the area. There are always nice items for the vegetarian in my life. Love the little spot."
2270 Las Positas Road, Livermore; http://lannathailivermore.com
Java stop: Sideboard: "For the drive home, I would say take a pit stop in Danville at Sideboard Coffee Bar. Love the place and the people. Coffee is always made perfect and you can get a small snack, too. What a great end-of-the-day stop on the way home."

The latest report in the Restoration Calls series examines how the institutions in Muncie, Ind. — dubbed Middletown by 20th-century sociologists — have let down the Americans who live there.
"With few notable exceptions, the nation's onetime social pillars are ill-equipped for the 21st century," write Ron Fournier and Sophie Quinton in the National Journal cover story.

Former Real Housewives of New York maniac Kelly Killoren Bensimon has listed her East Hampton home at $12 million. The five bedroom hovel is designed in the same style as a Sims house I once created, and is set on a sprawling 1.2 acres. The home includes all the requisite amenities: fireplaces, stainless steel kitchen, high ceilings, wood floors, and a heated pool. House of Tears, as it was lovingly dubbed by her children, has been on the market for years.
