Research indicates that 10,000 hours of activity are necessary to move a person's skill set to a significantly upgraded level. Is that the kind of commitment your son or daughter should be making to lacrosse?
Dr. Richard Ginsburg, a noted clinical sports psychologist and a member of the US Lacrosse Sports Science and Safety Committee, recommends that youth players play just one sport per season and have at least one to two days off per week. He also stresses that kids should have extended time off, preferably with a break of at least two or three months.
To avoid burnout and overuse injuries, Ginsburg suggests the following measures:
Sit down with your kids and map out their athletic schedules. Write down how many times they practice and for how long, and then tally the number of games and tournaments they will play in a month. Do you see any days off? Ideally, kids should play just one sport per season. Experts suggest that training and competition in one sport be limited to 16-20 hours per week.
If your child chooses to play only one sport year-round, s he or she taking several months away from that sport each year? This policy could be integral to protect the health and athletic longevity of your son or daughter by allowing the body and mind to recover. And when kids do start a new season, they should ease into it. Make sure they increase their training and play by no more than 10 percent each week.
The NCAA sets limits on the number of practices and total hours per week that Division I athletes may be involved in required sports activity, but no such regulations exist for youth sports. As a parent, set the limits you feel are age and developmentally appropriate for your child. "In some cases, youth lacrosse teams are playing up to five tournament games in back-to-back days in extreme weather conditions," Ginsburg said. "Why is this OK for youth but not OK for young adults who are stronger and less vulnerable to dehydration and over-use injuries?"
Additional recommendations from the US Lacrosse Sports Science & Safety Committee about youth participation can be accessed online at uslacrosse.org/safety.
US Lacrosse believes it's imperative that parents stay educated on the issues trending in our sport. Read the full seven-point check for parents in Lacrosse Magazine's March issue, and visit the Parents section for more resources.

Eli Manning, wife, give $1M to scholarship program
Published: Monday, July 26, 2010 at 3:15 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 26, 2010 at 3:15 p.m.
OXFORD, Miss. — New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning and his wife, Abby, have given $1 million to an academic scholarship program at their alma mater.
A news release Saturday quotes Manning as saying he's giving to the need-based Ole Miss Opportunity program because academics and good grades were very important to him when he was at Mississippi.
The program, started earlier this year after a 6.5 percent tuition increase was approved, will be used once all of a student's other scholarships and grants are considered. It will cover the gap between those and the average cost of tuition, housing and a meal allowance.
The Mannings have a home in Oxford and said they enjoy their continued involvement with the university, the community and local friends.

I'm going to go with no. Not only could I not find an OB/GYN who would say yay or nay, there are other SELF-approved options that doctors approved.
If you feel like you need a little firming action, try kegels which are proven to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles (versus creams, which probably aren't going to be as effective as a workout).

About Camp
The 2012 ESF camp will be held on the beautiful Texas A&M University-Kingsville campus on July 23-27, 2012.
Thirty three area high school students will be paid for being part of five days of non-stop research activities culminating in a final day of poster competition that will be open to parents, school counselors, college of engineering personnel and the general public.
The five-day camp will start at 7:45 am and end at 5:30 pm each day (please click here for detailed camp schedule). Eleven engineering and science research projects are developed for the week-long camp to expose the students to advanced engineering research subjects and to offer maximum hands-on experience promoting student enthusiasm for the fields of engineering. In addition, a field trip to an industry site will take place on the last day of the camp. Professional engineers from representative industries will be invited to address to the camp participants and to promote the camp outcomes.
Through these research projects, students will be able to explore interests in various engineering and science fields and apply research strategies and fundamental engineering concepts to daily life items. A notebook will be used to document all research activities by each student team and a poster presentation will be prepared and presented during the competition on the last day of the camp by each student team. The notebook/poster preparation and competition will reinforce teamwork, communication and writing skills of the camp participants.
Our experience obtained from previous summer camps has shown that the proposed well-designed, and hands-on advanced research projects in combination with successful camp project executions will significantly attract camp participants and encourage students to seriously consider careers in engineering.

From food to toys, there are unfortunately toxic materials found everywhere in our lives. At Ariaprene, we believe in living as toxic-free as possible. In fact our synthetic rubber was created based on the goal to reduce everyday exposure to toxic chemicals like chlorine, heavy metals, phthalates, lead and formaldehyde. These toxins can cause bodily harm and and even lead to long-term diseases.
Ariaprene is proud to be certified 100% toxic-free, which is not something most synthetic rubber products on the market can say. We're excited to see so many innovative products being used with our or other toxic-free material, but here are some other ways you can avoid coming into contact with the harmful chemicals out there:
- Read labels and be aware of chemicals in everyday products
- Wash your hands
- Wash fruits and vegetables
- Keeping your home ventilated
- Following proper disposal guidelines for electronics, batteries, paint, and other harmful chemical-containing products
- Avoiding cigarette smoke
Click here to find more ways to reduce exposure here and then check out our gallery to find great products made with non-toxic Ariaprene.

We need to talk, Emolga, because I saw you this weekend and you looked like this.
When you should really be looking like this..
So I just had to find out if there was… oh, I see. You're a Disney Pokemon Emolga.
People may think it strange, but bootleg Pokemon plush exist. Some distributors and vendors actually think they can get away with it. Which is why things like Disney Pokemon exist. They absolutely shouldn't, but they do.
Which is why real Pokemon fans need to be vigilant when it comes to making purchases. When buying online, always check the product images to be sure the items look official. As you can see from the Emolga Disney Pokemon above, the quality is clearly off on the bootleg. It can't compare to this official Emolga. If you're buying in person, then be sure to check tags. If the tag says something like Disney, don't buy it.
In fact, I'd even go so far as to suggest permanently bookmarking the official Pokemon Center page. People selling bootleg Pokemon plushes are often asking as much as, if not more than, Nintendo does for the real thing. May as well save your money and buy direct!
Because the only good Disney Pokemon are the ones in fan art online.

Definition of Olmec in English:
noun (plural same or Olmecs)
1A member of a prehistoric people inhabiting the coast of Veracruz and western Tabasco on the Gulf of Mexico (circa 1200–400 bc), who established what was probably the first Meso-American civilization.
Example sentences
- He writes, 'Engineers, farmers, artisans, and traders, the Olmecs had a remarkable civilization.'
- The approach also helps suggest links across time and place - between bog peoples of Europe or of New Guinea, the Olmecs practising agriculture in swampy Mesoamerica and those enjoined by Mussolini to drain the Pripet Marshes.
- Raised by my grandmother, I received the benefit of learning her spiritual path, which she had learned from her own Bruja mother, and this spirituality traced back through the Yaquis to the Aztecs and Olmecs of northern and central Mexico.
2A people living in the same general area as the prehistoric Olmec during the 15th and 16th centuries.
Example sentences
- Archaeological evidence indicates that the jicama was grown by all the major early Mesoamerican civilizations, including the Olmec, Maya, Toltec, and Aztec.
- The students began by researching, through books and slides, the 'big head' sculptures of the Olmec people of ancient Mexico.
- I wonder if this means that the Olmec likely developed proto-writing that would precede the writing that has been found?
From Nahuatl Olmecatl, (plural) Olmeca, literally 'inhabitants of the rubber country'.

Wu Tianming , (born Oct. 19, 1939, Sanyuan county, Shaanxi province, China—died March 4, 2014, Beijing, China) (born Oct. 19, 1939, Sanyuan county, Shaanxi province, China—died March 4, 2014, Beijing, China) Chinese film director and producer who served (1983–90) as the daring head of the state-run Xi'an Film Studio and provided encouragement for the pathbreaking antiestablishment movies made in the 1980s by such "Fifth Generation" filmmakers as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige; he also directed several films that gave an unflinching view of events in China, notably Meiyou hangbiao de heliu (1983; River Without Buoys), an account of the aftermath of the Cultural Revolution (1966–76). Wu launched his career as an actor with the Xi'an Film Studio and was poised to enter (1966) the Beijing Film Academy, but when his father, a government official, was purged that year, Wu's acceptance was rescinded. During the 1970s he finally gained admittance to the academy, where he studied directing. Following his graduation, he returned to Xi'an as an assistant to influential director Cui Wei. Wu's other directorial credits include Rensheng (1984; Life), about a schoolteacher who leaves his peasant sweetheart to live in the city, and Laojing (1986; The Old Well), the Tokyo International Film Festival top-prize winner about a village with an unreliable water supply. Many of Wu's and the Fifth Generation directors' works were censored and failed to gain wide distribution in China. During the 1989 government crackdown on protesters in Tiananmen Square, Wu was a visiting scholar in the U.S. and decided to stay, but he became restless as a video-store proprietor and returned to China. He went on to direct Bianlian (1996; The King of Masks), Shouxi zhixingguan (2002; CEO), and Bainiao chaofeng (2013; Song of the Phoenix), which told of a traditional musician's inability to find an audience for his artistry in modern urban China.

To Brooklyn Bridge
by Hart Crane
Stanza 1 Summary
Get out the microscope, because we're going through this poem line-by-line.
Lines 1-2
How many dawns, chill from his rippling rest
The seagull's wings shall dip and pivot him,
- The poem opens on the image of a seagull taking off in flight.
- The image places us on a body of water – specifically the East River. The Brooklyn Bridge spans this river, connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn.
- The time is dawn, symbolic of beginnings. But this is not one particular dawn, it's the "many dawns" in which the scene can be witnessed.
- "How many dawns" has a timeless quality, the endless repetition of taking flight in the morning.
- The seagull is cold, "chill," from his "rippling rest." That is, the gull has been sitting on the rippling waters.
- The "dip" and "pivot" of the gull's flight provide vivid descriptions of motion. These words also reply to the visual appearance of a suspension bridge, with the "dips" of its cables, "pivoting" from high to low.
Lines 3-4
Shedding white rings of tumult, building high
Over the chained bay waters Liberty--
- The seagull flies in circles above the bridge, higher and higher.
- In the poet's mind, the wings of the gull create "tumult" in the air as they pass. The word "tumult" also means "chaos" or "disorder," to which the order and form of the bridge provide a stark contrast.
- The gull is colored white," and whiteness also suggests white-capped waves in the water and the color of the dawn air.
- The bird is like an architect – it "builds" a pattern over the bridge. In a sense, it even builds the bridge itself, an act of rebirth each morning.
- The waters of the bay appear to be "chained' because they lie in the shadow of the chains of the Brooklyn Bridge.
- The last word of the stanza is mysterious – "Liberty."
- Literally, the bird passes the Statue of Liberty. But "Liberty" is also what the bird has been "building." Flight is a common symbol for freedom.
- By extension, the Brooklyn Bridge is a symbol of liberty, freedom of movement, freedom of ideas, etc.

With the introduction of V2 Product, it doesnt mean the older version V1 that 80% Hand maded were discontinued. It still available, because the V1 still had the capability to be made customized in very wide range of custom specs or unique design.
Noted :
*For special need we could do V1 or V2 that could be tailored for certain use
*We are seller of exhaust parts items, We are not Exhaust AutoWorkshop (bengkel knalpot). Since there is so many Exhaust AutoWorkshop (bengkel knalpot), then we try to be differ from them by specializing our detail in performanced exhaust parts.
*Not all of our items was bolt on or plug and play, since we try to maximized the exhaust potential for your car, so the exhaust parts dimension lenght, diameter, collector position would be adjusted for maximum performance based on our calculation for your engine needs, not based on plug and play mode, especially on Engine Swap car or highly modified or performance oriented car. Its not an easy bolt on and plug and play autoparts. Sometimes need little bit basic knowledge about automotive modification, so you wouldnt get confuse when installing it.

Climb to Be Covered Online Starting March 16 at natgeo.com/oneverest and www.thenorthface.com/everest. Real-time Updates from West Ridge Team to Start April 16 on National Geographic Magazine App for iPad
Everything has been such a whirlwind for the last week – my apologies for not writing to the blog sooner.
Testing my mask at the South Col.
The whole team has made it safely to Kathmandu, and I am getting ready to head home tomorrow after ten weeks in Nepal. But, I should jump back to where I left off on the last blog.
We climbed more or less according to how we had planned, with only a few extras thrown in. We left Base Camp early on the 21st. It was amazing to me how much the temperatures had warmed over a seven-week period. When we first arrived at Base Camp I was constantly freezing, sleeping at night in all my down layers and even hiking through the icefall in my down jacket. Our final tour up through the icefall was a very different story.
Lighting juniper to bless our climb at base camp.
We left earlier than normal in order to avoid any sun exposure between Camp 1 and Camp 2. I was also nervous that my sore ankle would slow me down. Needless to say, we all made it to Camp 2 without getting heat stroke. The icefall had changed dramatically, almost unrecognizable in the way it was falling apart. Seeing this made us realize it was now or never. The icefall would not hold up much longer and soon the ladders would be removed from the crevasses and the route would disappear.
At Camp 2 we all took a day to rest. No matter how acclimatized one is, it's still a beat down of a day going from Base Camp to Camp 2 – it's some 4000ft in elevation gain at high altitude. We rested the 22nd and then climbed to Camp 3 on the 23rd. At this point, Conrad elected to stay at Camp 2 and climb directly to the South Col the next day with the Sherpas. Camp 2 to Camp 3 is tiring but very doable in three hours or less. It's fairly direct and the elevation gain is only around 2000 ft. From here, Emily, Sam and Mark started using oxygen to sleep on and then to climb with the next day to the South Col. Kris and I had decided to hold off on using O's until the South Col.
Kris and Emily resting at Camp 3.
The next morning, the 24th, Conrad and the Sherpas reached Camp 3 around 6 a.m. and we all started towards the next camp together. This is where I started to get a bit nervous. Despite thinking we would not be summiting on a crowded day, seeing the number of people headed to the South Col told us otherwise. We inserted ourselves in a long line of climbers and started the long walk through the Yellow Band, over the Geneva Spur, and finally to the South Col at nearly 8000m. I was pretty happy with making it in a time of six hours, pretty good for not using oxygen. No doubt, though, I was tired and we only had a few hours of rest before we started our summit push.
Kris climbing above Camp 3.
Conrad, Kris and I shared a tent at the Col. It was during this rest time that Conrad decided to opt out of the summit push. Kris and I donned our o2 masks and tried to rest. Sam, Emily and Mark were all doing fairly well. We decided to start climbing around 9 p.m.
For me, it was a bad night. From the minute I left the tent, I just knew it was going to be one of those nights of climbing that are a constant struggle. I put my crampons on wrong and within minutes of leaving camp, one fell off and then the other. I missed the start of the fixed ropes and ended up scrambling on blue ice trying to find them. I couldn't get my oxygen mask to fit well and it kept fogging up my goggles, which then iced over so I couldn't see. On and on and on.
In the end, I think this series of fumbles was because I was really scared about the climb. The weather was not what it was supposed to be, the wind was blowing a steady 20 mph and when we left the tent, the temperature was already -28 degrees Celsius, way too cold. There was a line of 150 people in front of us and we left way to early as it only took an hour before we were stuck at the end of the line.
This many people meant climbing way too slow and then crushing yourself when you tried to pass people. I also knew there were at least four recently dead climbers on or near the fixed lines that we would have to climb over or around.
All in all, we made it to the summit. Kris and I topped out around 5 a.m. with the others shortly behind.
The crowds of people made the summit a little anti-climactic for me. There were some 60-70 climbers on top of Everest when we arrived. In addition, the temperature was around -50 with wind chill, which made it impossible to linger and left me with frost nip on several fingers.
I was so proud of Sam and Em being able to overcome the difficulties of this trip and the challenging conditions of our summit day. For their age and total lack of high altitude climbing, it was pretty amazing for both of them.
But, alas, now we get to the fun part. All of us had bought permits to climb Lhotse as well, but we were all so knackered it didn't seem possible.
Sam and Emily were both out, in fact she and Mark continued down to Camp 2 on the 25th. Conrad said he still didn't feel up to climbing. That left Kris and I. We rested on oxygen from 10 a.m. to about 10 p.m. on the 25th, not really able to sleep or eat. As we were melting water, we kept telling ourselves that we would just give it a try and if it didn't work we'd descend. Simple. Then Conrad came into our tent and asked if we had any extra water. He was going to try to climb Everest without oxygen. That was when I noticed it. The wind had died. There was absolute stillness at the South Col. The stars were out, the temperature was warmer. It was going to be one of those perfect days, the kind of day I fear even mentioning so as not to jinx it.
Conrad set out for the summit of Everest about 1 a.m. and Kris and I headed the opposite direction towards the Geneva Spur. We needed to wrap around to the Lhotse face and drop a couple hundred meters before starting the climb. We left the trail around 2 a.m. and began our ascent.
Kris was climbing hard and it was difficult for me to keep up. I had several moments of thinking I was too tired and wasn't going to be able to summit. There was one climbing party of four ahead of us. They were 2/3 of the way up the mountain when we started. When we caught them before the summit, I realized I wasn't going slow but that Kris was going absurdly fast.
All in all, it took us about three hours to summit Lhotse, putting Kris and I on the summit of two 8000m peaks in 24 hours. It was amazing and Kris and I were the only people on the summit and I was just thankful for the weather and to have had a good climbing day after the struggle of the previous night.
On top of that, Conrad summited Everest a few hours later without oxygen.
After Lhotse, everything was a whirlwind. We flew down the mountain, moving every day until we reached Kathmandu. Of course, now that I have stopped moving I am so tired I can barely walk. I'm sick and just started antibiotics. I think I just spent so many weeks willing myself to stay healthy that now my body is telling me I need rest.
My ankle survived the journey but it also is swollen and painful and likely just pissed off at me in general for stuffing it in an 8k boot and climbing hard for several days.
Needless to say, we all worked really hard and it will take our bodies some time to recover. Thanks again to everyone for all the supportive comments and I look forward to getting home to see my family and friends.

Dear Friend of Idaho State University,
Those of us who live in, or have lived in Idaho, know what a treasure we have in the Gem state.
It seems others are learning about us as well.
Money magazine recently ranked Meridian, home to Idaho State University Meridian Health Science Center, among the top 100 best places to live. One of the city's selling points, the article says, is ISU Meridian Health Science Center, with our newly-opened facility.
I'm proud of our top-notch facilities in Meridian, from the state-of-the-art human simulation laboratories to our L.S. Skaggs Pharmacy Complex, which gives us the opportunity to train more of the brightest and best students.
The community benefits from our presence in the Treasure Valley in many ways. Our clinics in counseling, dentistry and speech and language offer community members quality, affordable treatment options.
Housed with ISU Meridian is the Renaissance Magnet High School, a public school that offers students the chance to earn college credit and study health care-related fields through Idaho State University while still in high school. The high school students are able to use our laboratories and get a head-start on their health care education.
I was pleased recently to meet a delegation from Guangzhou, China who were visiting the Treasure Valley to explore business and investment opportunities in Meridian and the surrounding area. It was exciting to share with them the research and academic opportunities both in the Treasure Valley and in Pocatello, and offer them a tour of our world-class laboratories and facilities.
Idaho Falls, home to ISU Idaho Falls, also made the top 100 list, with reviewers mentioning that engineering and energy firms are attracted to the area. Idaho State University, with its partnership with the Idaho National Laboratory, private industry, Boise State University and University of Idaho, is certainly a part of that success with the recently-opened Center for Advanced Energy Studies and our many degree programs offered in Idaho Falls.
And, magazine writers also took note of Pocatello's quality of life, naming us the ninth-fastest commute in the country.
I'm proud of the communities where we live, work and study, and the ISU community is excited to be a part of their success. Congratulations to Meridian, Idaho Falls and Pocatello. It's exciting to see others recognize and appreciate what we have to offer here.
Go Bengals!
Arthur C. Vailas, Ph.D.
President, Idaho State University

JavaFX, Java On Linux & Oracle JSF
,----[ Quote ]
| Adobe or earlier Macromedia were never a much talked about company at JavaOne
| but suddenly with Flex and Flash, Adobe is the talk of JavaOne, with most
| looking at javaFX as an attempt to compete with Adobe's Flash and Flex.
Sun to Clarify JavaFX Open-source Plan Later This Year
,----[ Quote ]
| While Sun executives have said that JavaFX, the company's nascent rich
| Internet application (RIA) development product family and eventual competitor
| to Adobe's Flash and Microsoft's Silverlight, will be entirely open source, a
| FAQ page on Sun's site appears to contradict that.
| "The JavaFX Script language, currently being developed with the community's
| help (see OpenJFX project), will have a grammar and syntax that are open
| source. Some parts of the language are already open source," it states, but
| adds, "the JavaFX compiler, runtime engine, player, and tools currently under
| development are not expected to be open source."
A free RIA platform is urgently needed.

| The Future · If you want to read some really smart words on this subject, and
| you have a half-hour to spare, hop on over to Steve Yegge's Dynamic Languages
| Strike Back. What Steve said. ¶
| As far as languages go, higher-level is the future. As far as platforms go, I
| wouldn't want to bet against Java.
JavaFX: Open source or not?
,----[ Quote ]
| Will JavaFX, Sun's new rich Internet applications platform, be open source?
| That's certainly the impression that many took away from JavaOne. On his
| blog, JavaFX booster Julian Exenberger says, "If Sun makes good on it's
| promises, JavaFX will be the only fully open source RIA with a fully open
| source runtime. It will even have open source development tools."
| [...]
| All modern software is made up of innumerable modules and components, so the
| debate as to how many of those need to be open source for the entire package
| to be considered open source is probably philosophical at this point. Still,
| it seems that Sun's New New Thing could be at the center of yet another
| tedious open source battle.
Sun to Change Licensing, Other Rules for Java

| "Open source and the effect it's having on the software industry is having a

| has brought to the industry."
Sun: Java ubiquity an advantage in RIA battle

| "The Java runtime is on over 900 million desktops today," Singh said. Every
| month, there are 40 million downloads of updates to the Java runtime, he

| were doing this project, it is never our intention to join this contest,"
| said Jaymee Gatapia, a fourth-year computer science student and member of the
| UP Judo varsity team, in an e-mail interview.
Sun Set to Win Developer Battle
,----[ Quote ]
| Already in many studies on developer platform choice, the battle typically is
| drawn between the Microsoft .Net camp and the Java camp. But with the
| emergence of a new set of qualifications around developer/designer workflow
| and the advent of RIAs (rich Internet applications), the battleground is
| becoming more cluttered with new entrants and different models. Sun hopes to
| be in that fray.
JAVAONE - Sun defends JavaFX Script
,----[ Quote ]
| This question was raised during the JavaOne conference in San Francisco this
| week, with an attendee wondering why Sun needed to have its own scripting
| variant. JavaFX Script is part of Sun's JavaFX rich Internet application
| platform, first announced a year ago but being filled out with product
| deliverables this year.
| With JavaFX Script, Sun is offering up a scripting language very similar to
| what already was available, argued developer Angsuman Chakraborty, CEO of
| Taragana. It is hard for developers to learn another language, Chakraborty
| said.
Sun unveils RIA toolset, new project for developers
,----[ Quote ]
| Green also demonstrated a JavaFX application running on the Android Emulator,
| a Linux-based software platform for mobile devices developed by Google Inc.
| and the Open Handset Alliance. However, a public relations representative
| notified Computerworld during the live webcast of the keynote noting that the
| demo was "not a product announcement. Sun has no plans around Android at this
| time."
JavaFX: A Bright Future on Open Source-Based Mobile Devices?

Sun's JavaFX to hoover-up user data
,----[ Quote ]
| "We are simply a technology provider," Schwartz told JavaOne. He said the
| Java FX platform would enable developers to escape the clutches of a hostile

| that's Microsoft, Microsoft and, er, Microsoft. With Google maybe thrown in

With 29 contestants and three cities around the state, Top Chef: Texas is shaping up to be the biggest season yet.
Wednesday's premiere found the chefs split into groups and facing off against each other in two rounds – the final qualifying rounds will air next Wednesday – just to determine which 16 chefs will actually make the final cut.
They will also be facing some major celebrities on the other side of the judges' table this season.
"I think everybody who comes on the show – especially if they're not in the food business – has a certain level of interest in food," host Padma Lakshmi told PEOPLE of the season's array of guest judges on a conference call. "These are cities you have to fly to, and you have to take a day or two out of your schedule."
Among the big names appearing as guests this season: Charlize Theron and Patti LaBelle.
"I've actually cooked with Charlize," head judge Tom Colicchio said. "And she's a serious, serious foodie and loves to cook."
With so many fun foodies coming on the show, Colicchio's biggest regret is not getting to experience the guest judges' culinary skills firsthand
"I've heard that Patti LaBelle can throw down pretty good," he said. "They're not cooking for us so it's hard to say, but they all talk a really good game."
Colicchio also praised scientist-turned-chef Nathan Myhrvold, who will also appear: "He comes from a very, very different sort of angle than I do. Aside from food, he's just brilliant and fun to be around. And I think he'd be a real blast to cook with."
"We've hung out a lot," Lakshmi added. "He's just one of those people that you can ask about anything, you know? He's one of the world's foremost experts on paleontology and he's a barbecue expert."
Although most guests appear because of their love of food, there's another explanation for Pee-wee Herman's turn at the table: In the film Pee-wee's Big Adventure, his bike is hidden in the basement of the Alamo.
"That's it," Colicchio said with a laugh. "Do you need any other reason?"
In Season 9, Top Chef regular Gail Simmons, restaurateur Emeril Lagasse and chef Hugh Acheson will join Lakshmi and Colicchio as judges. Other guests include Cat Cora, John Besh and Tim Love.

Two finals on Sunday
Roger has booked his spot in tomorrow's final in Halle with a 6-3, 7-6(4) victory over Kei Nishikori.
"It was played on a very fast court and a few shots were going to decide it. They went my way," Roger said.
Roger scored the only break in the opening set, enough to take the set. After trading breaks of serve in the beginning of the second set, with Roger eventually forcing a tie-break with an ace. Our champ fell behind 4-2 at first but then secured five points in a row to close out the match.
In his ninth final in Halle, Roger will play Alejandro Falla, against whom he leads the head-to-head 6-0. And Roger will be playing a second final right afterwards tomorrow, he will be meeting Begemann/Knowle in the doubles along with his fellow Swiss Marco Chiudinelli.
Great play!
please dont go to TB next time :)
Hail the king of grass!
Well everyone I am off to bed now. See you all soon.

Yep, I'm a numpty and I've broken my webmail again ><
I changed the email password via the controla panel, updated the email program I used on my home computer and that works fine but I need to get into my webmail to delete the junk from the server (now I know how, thank you :)) before downloading the emails I wish to keep a hard copy of.
However, I cannot log in to my webmail via IE. I cleared IE of all history, cookies etc and even rebooted this computer. This obviously cleared stuff because I had to log back into the Freeola site. I've tried three different ways to log into the webmail and each time I get failed authentication. The little box that pops up with the email address, user name and password appears already filled in and although "sign me in automatically" isn't ticked it does try to sign me in before I press the enter button.
What am I doing wrong this time please? ><

Rangers agree to terms with free-agent Locke
Forward scored 25 goals for Minnesota's AHL affiliate last season
Friday, 07.3.2009 / 11:33 AM ET / News
New York Rangers
|Corey Locke spent last season in the Minnesota Wild organization. His lone NHL regular-season appearance came with Montreal in the 2007-08 season.
• Parenteau Remains in Rangers Organization
• Gaborik: Rangers Were an Easy Choice
• New Yorker Higgins Excited for Homecoming
New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has agreed to terms with free agent forward Corey Locke.
Locke, 25, skated in 77 games with the Houston Aeros of the American Hockey League (AHL) last season, registering 25 goals and 54 assists for 79 points, along with 60 penalty minutes. He established career-highs in assists and points. Locke ranked among the league leaders in several statistical categories, ranking fourth in assists, tied for seventh in points and tied for 13th in power play goals (13). He also tied for the AHL lead with 29 power play assists.
Locke led the Aeros in assists, points and power play goals, and finished second on the team in goals. In addition, he recorded a team-high, 23 multi-point performances, including a four-point effort on October 18 vs. San Antonio (two goals and two assists). Locke registered a career-high, 10-game scoring streak from March 1 at Milwaukee to March 25 at Milwaukee, collecting 12 points (four goals and eight assists) over the span.
In 2007-08, Locke established a career-high in goals (30), while leading Hamilton (AHL) in goals, assists (42) and points (72). He tied for 11th in the AHL in goals and points. He also tied the AHL season-high, and set a new career-high, for points in a game with six points on April 9 against Rochester (three goals and three assists). In addition, Locke made his NHL debut with the Montreal Canadiens on January 8 vs. Chicago.
The 5-9, 175-pound forward has skated in 390 career AHL games in five seasons with the Hamilton Bulldogs and Houston Aeros, registering 110 goals and 198 assists for 308 points, along with 251 penalty minutes. The three-time AHL All-Star (2006, 2008 and 2009) is Hamilton's all-time leader in goals (85), assists (144) and points (229).
In addition, Locke has skated in 46 AHL postseason contests with Hamilton and Houston, collecting 22 goals and 23 assists for 45 points, along with 44 penalty minutes. Last season, Locke established career-highs in playoff goals (12) and points (23) while skating in 20 games for Houston.

HARROGATE, TN - Last Friday evening, members of the Lincoln Memorial University men's basketball team joined many cancer survivors and other residents of the tri-state area in the ninth annual Claiborne County Relay for Life to observe cancer awareness.
As has been the case throughout the past, this year's event was held at the Harrogate City Park and members of the Railsplitter basketball team helped with hanging signage, setting up displays and various other event related duties.
Although the LMU men's basketball team wasn't responsible for raising the money, through donations and funds raised by participating parties, this year's event generated more than $100,000 for the affliction.
"We have been involved now for the last four years with the Relay for Life, and it is always a wonderful experience for our student-athletes," said LMU Head Coach Josh Schertz. "It is a wonderful cause and a great opportunity for us to interact with our local community. A ton of money was raised and we were happy to be allowed to be a part of it again this year."
Each year the Lincoln Memorial University men's basketball program participates in many public service events throughout the tri-state area. In December, the Railsplitters will again be a part of the annual ROHO Shopping Spree held for the area's needy children at the Middlesboro, Kentucky Walmart.

Brookgreen Gardens in Murrells Inlet, SC, was recently awarded a $100,000 grant from the Henry Luce Foundation's American Art Renewal Fund to support the creation of a dedicated space for its library collection and historic archives. This project will establish a comprehensive institutional facility to preserve and maintain Brookgreen's unique collection, originally begun by Archer Milton Huntington in the early 1930s. Through the years, the collection has expanded to include books and other printed material on topics pertaining to the purposes of Brookgreen Gardens.
"We are extremely pleased to announce the Henry Luce Foundation grant award, which will allow us to advance an important element of our strategic plan by creating a central facility to house our collection in up-to-date, archivally-approved conditions," said Bob Jewell, Brookgreen's President and CEO. "We are most appreciative of the Henry Luce Foundation's support over the years and of its most recent funding that will provide for the creation of this needed facility." Previously, the Henry Luce Foundation provided grants that supported the restoration of many of the gates within Brookgreen Gardens and the national tour of the exhibition, American Masters: Sculpture from Brookgreen Gardens.
The American Art Renewal Fund was developed by the Henry Luce Foundation to respond to the economic downturn and the current need to strengthen American art activities in our nation's museums. This short-term initiative, offered through the American Art Program, provides support for operating expenses related to American Art. The American Art Renewal Fund is a departure from the traditional focus on research and scholarship and is only in effect through 2011. Since its inception in 1982, the Henry Luce Foundation's American Art Program has provided more than $130 million to support scholarly studies and awareness of American art at some 250 museums, universities, and service organizations across the country and internationally.
Brookgreen Gardens, a National Historic Landmark and non-profit organization, is located on US Hwy. 17 between Myrtle Beach and Pawleys Island, SC, and is open to the public daily.
For more information, consult our web site at (www.brookgreen.org) or call 800/849-1931.

It was quite a long coach trip from the port of Savana into Genoa, and much of the route was through tunnels. The railway appeared to offer a more scenic alternative, and I suggest it would be quicker and cheaper. Genoa was a most interesting city with outstanding architecture.
A well constructed tour made interesting by the guide, it was sad to see so much litter and monuments defaced with grafitti. The authorities ought to take more pride and get advice from Singapore.
We were met by relatives and escorted round the island. It is a quality destination and designed to cater for tourists. English widely understood.

Game of Thrones is a site for the HBO-series based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.
New to the series? Read our spoiler-free review of A Game of Thrones.
Read our Privacy Policy.
We've all been waiting for the first signs of the Game of Thrones first season DVD & Blu-Ray box set… and it seems to have arrived with strong suggestions that the discs will role out in at least several countries in March 2012, approximately 1 month before the premiere of season 2 of the series. First off, in the UK, the British Video Association notes a March 19 date for the release over there (UK Preoder: DVD, Blu-Ray). And France appears to be even luckier, with Warner Brothers France indicating a March 7th date—quick work!
What does this mean for the US? It really does seem that the ides of March, give or take a week, are what we should be looking at for the release of the DVD and Blu-Ray sets (US Preorder: DVD, Blu-Ray). We can be sure that there'll be a lot of extras on the sets, including some audition tapes for actors, behind-the-scenes footage never seen before, and episode commentaries—and from what we've heard, that may just be the start!
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.

I read about this book this past summer through one of the umbiqutous "Summer Reading" lists. I thought I added it to my Amazon Wish List* but did not. When I was trying to find something interesting to read I remembered it and went searching. Unfortunately, I couldn't remember the title, author and only a general idea about the story. After about three days of sporadic, fruitless Googling, I hit on the word that would give me the search results I wanted: monument.
*Here's an idea for those that compile those lists – have a button, like a Twitter or Facebook button, that will create an Amazon or Barnes and Noble wish list from your selection. I'm sure if someone approaches Amazon with the idea, they will come up with the code.
Gil Gilheaney is an ambitious sculptor whose pride drove him from New York City to the artistic backwater of San Antonio, Texas, just after World War I. His thirty-two year old daughter Maureen, who dreams of being a sculptor in her own right, assists him in his endeavor to attain the respect as a premier sculptor he thinks he deserves. When an aging Texas rancher, Lamar Clayton, commissions Gil to create a monument to his son, Ben Clayton, who was killed in the war, Gil believes the statue will be his greatest achievement. To create a realistic portrait of the young man, Gil and Maureen visit the ranch where he grew up and delve into his life there and his relationship with his father. It isn't long until they realize that there is much more to the quiet rancher and his relationship with his son than meets the eye.
What drew me to Remember Ben Clayton (★★★★) was an excerpt I read when I first heard about it. In that excerpt, we meet the main characters – the taciturn rancher, Lamar; the egotistical sculptor, Gil; and the dutiful daughter, Maureen – and Harrigan takes us all to where the statue will be located, an isolated hill in the middle of the ranch with a view of the country stretching out for miles. The description of the spot, the desolation, the isolation, gives the monument a certain pathos that hooked me. Harrigan brilliantly weaves aspects of Texas history that many have forgotten (child abductions and murderous raids by Indians) with the emotional and physical scars of the soldiers after World War I and the obscure art form of monument sculpting that many of us see every day but have never considered the work or creativity that goes behind it. He does this all while creating very real, relateable and flawed characters. When I finished the book I was satisfied but curious to know what happened to them next.
I don't want to call Stephen Harrigan an "Texas writer," though that is what he is, because I fear that will be too limiting. Harrigan has a great voice, one that not only describes his home state with great affection but that also creates indelible characters who stay with you long after you've closed the book. He imbues plot points that could be considered tropes with such humanity and depth you feel like you are reading about this particular conflict for the first time.
Other Thoughts:
- Hopefully, Gil or Maureen had the prescience to move to England where almost every town in the country would commission a monument to their war dead.
- It was fun to read a book that hit on all of the historical events I have been most interested in this year – Prohibition (very slight in Remember Ben Clayton), World War I and the Indian Wars in Texas, specifically the abduction of children and women (men were killed, if not outright, after being tortured to death).
- Remember Ben Clayton is a work of fiction based on Pompeo Coppini's Charles H. Noyles statue in Ballinger, Texas.
- After reading this book, I will never look at statues the same way again.
- Harrigan does a great job of showing the reader the process for the statue creation without being too technical or boring the reader.
- Based on my enjoyment of Remember Ben Clayton, I will add Harrigan's other novels to my to-read list.
- Here is an article on Stephen Harrigan in the New York Times.

Hadley Park Homeowners feeling ignored and left out
Residents express displeasure with police and city officials
Gigi Tinsley | 2/6/2014, 9 a.m.
At the recent Hadley Park Homeowners (and Rentals) (HPHA) Association meeting held on Jan. 28 at the Carrie P. Meek Senior Citizen Center, 1350 NW 50th St., "being left out," and "ignored" were voiced adamantly and with much concern by the members of the Association. They unanimously said, "We are going to be respected and treated fairly by those we helped or did not help get into office. If not, we will get them out of office."
The members of the Association must live within the following boundaries: On the south-41st St.; on the north 71st St.; on the east to I-95 and on the west to 17th Ave.
Herschel L. Haynes, the 3rd chairman since the organization inception has been called back to be the interim chair, since the fourth and current chair has taken a sabbatical. (Willie Williams was the first and George Stanley the second chair).
Some of the major concerns voiced was the way items that directly concern the Hadley Park Association were placed on the Commission agenda without the Board of Trustees being notified. Therefore, Luke Campbell was the only registered individual who was listed to speak on the topic of why the city of Miami has not begun building on the approved 7 million Youth building designated for that area. (It seems that it was reported at the Commission meeting that a search is on to try and find 5 million more needed dollars).
Mrs. Nancy Dawkins asked Mayor Tomas Regalado for permission to speak —"representing the AARP Group that utilizes the existing building (being overflowed by youth from the area) and as a Board Member of HPHA. The normalcy is that no one is allowed to speak in the Commission meetings unless they are registered. But with approximately 100 AARP members in attendance, I really didn't think he was going to deny my speaking," Dawkins said.
The other concern was that when the AARP group does place an item on the agenda it is at the bottom of the list. "This should not happen," Dawkins stated. "We are older people and some respect should be given to that fact."
Brandyss Howard, representing Commissioner Keon Hardemon, District 5 said, "It is possible to have the agendas sent to designated individuals in the organization so that the group can be aware of items that need their attention and attendance." Howard also informed the group that she is no longer the liaison between Commissioner Hardemon and the HPHA for the Model City Area." The consensus of the members was to have the agenda sent to the interim president, Board Members Henry Goa and Nancy Dawkins.
Other concerns addressed by attendees including Pernerva Curry and directed to Commander D. Carr included: Why does it take so long for the police to come into this area for calls about gambling, shootings, break-ins and speeding? "We respond to calls according to priority."
Morley assistant to Mayor Regalado stated the protocol for contacting the mayor and being proactive with requests rather than reactive.
The meeting hour were changed to 6 p.m. from 6:30 and a meeting with Commissioner Hardemon was scheduled for the next day, Wed., Jan. 29, to address concerns that a re prevalent in District 5.

Man Gets Pick Of Hyundais After Threatening To Write "LEMON" On His Rear Window
Michael leased a 2010 Hyundai Genesis and found that none of the buttons on the steering wheel worked. No horn, no cruise control, no radio volume. It's been in and out of the shop several times for steering wheel issues. When he called up the regional office to complain they seemed to take his issue a little more seriously after he said he was planning to get a windshield marker and write that he got a $40,000 lemon from Hyundai. Now he's getting to pick a new Hyundai of his choice. Here's the timeline:

The dealer still has the deposit and told Dan he'd like him to come in and have a sit-down about why the sale didn't happen. Dan just wants his $500.

A special permit for a wine-tasting event seen as the start of special Thursday happenings in downtown Carmel will go before the City Council on Tuesday.
Restaurateur Richard Pepe proposes the "Carmel-By-The-Glass" event from 5 to 8 p.m. Dec. 13 at Devendorf Park. The event would pull together many of the city's 15 wine-tasting rooms. Live models on pedestals near each tasting table would showcase clothing and shoes from Carmel stores.
Guests 21 and older would pay $10 to enter and $1 per tasting. The Carmel Mission Foundation would benefit from the event.
Last month, a city committee working on ways to increase downtown events recommended streamlining the permit process for Thursday events in Devendorf Park and weekly culinary events in the north parking lot of Sunset Center.
Also Tuesday, the council will:
· Consider an appeal by jewelry store owner Alex Agacanyan to install an awning on his storefront on Dolores Street between Ocean and Seventh avenues.
Agacanyan says his merchandise needs protection from direct sunlight, but the Planning Commission denied permission for an awning, and city staff members recommend the council do the same.
· Consider a resolution supporting City Attorney Donald Freeman's representation of the Monterey Peninsula Regional Water Authority made up of six Peninsula cities served by California American Water.
Freeman, also city attorney for Seaside, said in a letter that working for the water authority wouldn't interfere with his work for either city.
If you go
·What:Carmel City Council meeting
·When:4:30 p.m. Tuesday
·Where:Council chambers on Monte Verde Street between Ocean and Seventh avenues
