Learn the Solid Shell Stitch
With Photos and Instructions
|Image at left shows the beginning of the first row in crocheting the solid shell stitch. It is basically a single crochet, skip next two stitches, then 5 double crochet in the next stitch (one shell made), skip next two stitches. This is repeated across the row. Easy. Instructions below show how to alternate where the single crochet and shell stitches are placed on the next row, to form the solid shell stitch patterning (see photo below the directions, also).
ch = chain
dc = double crochet
sc = single crochet
st = stitch
Basic Directions For Solid Shell Stitch
Starting Chain Formula: Multiple of 6 stitches plus 1, then add 1 more for base starting chain
Row 1: 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook, * skip 2 ch, 5 dc in next ch, skip 2 ch, 1 sc in next ch **, repeat * to ** to end of row. Turn.
Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), 2 dc in same st as ch-3 just made, * skip 2 dc, 1 sc in next dc (which is the center st of the 5-dc shell), skip 2 dc, 5 dc in next sc **, repeat * to ** to end of row, ending the last repeat with 3 dc in last sc, skip turning chain. Turn.
Row 3: Ch 1, 1 sc in first st, * skip 2 dc, 5 dc in next sc, skip 2 dc, 1 sc in next dc **, repeat from * to ** to end of row, ending last repeat with 1 sc in top of the ch-3 turning chain.
Repeat rows: Repeat rows 2 and 3 consecutively, until desired length is reached.
Image above shows first row in beige yarn and second row in rose color yarn. Referring to this photo will help in seeing where stitches are worked for the second row.

12 Day Sweet Pickles Recipe
12 Day Sweet Pickles Notes
This recipe was one of many from Rose's grandmother Amelia Richards.
- 75 2-3 inch cucumbers
- 2 cups salt
- 1 teaspoon alum
- 5 cups sugar
- 6 cups vinegar
- 1 ounce celery seeds
- 1 ounce cassia buds
Preparation Instructions
Cut cucumbers lengthwise. If using larger cucumbers, cut slices into 2-3 inch lengths.
Bring to a boil 4 quarts of water and two cups of salt. Let cool, pour over cucumbers in a large, airtight container, cover and let stand 1 week.
Drain off liquid, re-cover with fresh boiling water, let stand 24 hours.
Drain, cover with boiling water and alum, let stand 24 hours.
Drain, cover with a syrup made from sugar, vinegar and spices boiled together. Once per each of the next 2 days, drain syrup into a pot, boil, and pour back over cucumbers. On the third day, pour off syrup, boil, pack cucumbers into jars and cover with hot syrup.
Helpful Hints
Make sure you sterilize jars thoroughly before filling to prevent bacteria in your pickles. Syrup should be BOILING when poured onto pickles.
If you don't have cassia buds you can substitute 1 ounce of cinnamon sticks, broken into 1 inch pieces.
To make this recipe vegan, use beet sugar or evaporated cane juice. Granulated white sugar is often processed with bone char, and is not considered vegan.
Special Equipment
Pint or quart canning jars
I have been making pickles for close to 40 years, thought I would try something new,keeping the pickles in an airtight container in a salt brine for a week caused the cucumbers to get a thick white salt skim on cucumbers,then poring the boiling water over them reduced more than half of them to mush,I believe you have left something out of the instructions.THIS WAS A TERRIBLE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!
Make it Again? Mj Y. would not make this recipe again.
I can't believe it! I have my Grandmothers pickle recipe which must be around 65 years old and I notice the same recipe is posted by you. For over 30 years I have had 2 jars of her remaining cucumbers with juice and I have from time to time taken myself back as if a child again to her kitchen. By taking a sniff into her jar. This is the same recipe as yours and I am delighted to find a fellow friend of this magical recipe! I am now going to make them as I have at last found out what a cassia bud is. Hurray for cassia bud pickles, long may they live.
Make it Again? Zoe A. would make this recipe again.
I make these pickles every year. They are excellant-if my family is here a jar is quickly "devoured"!! It is getting very difficult to obtain cassia buds here so I don't know how much longer I'll be able to make them--HELP !! I have had this same recipe for many years (love it !).
Make it Again? Donna S. would make this recipe again.

NIPS 2012 Workshop on Log-Linear Models
Exponential functions are core mathematical constructs that are the key to many important applications, including speech recognition, pattern-search and logistic regression problems in statistics, machine translation, and natural language processing. Exponential functions are found in exponential families, log-linear models, conditional random fields (CRF), entropy functions, neural networks involving sigmoid and soft max functions, and Kalman filter or MMIE training of hidden Markov models. Many techniques have been developed in pattern recognition to construct formulations from exponential expressions and to optimize such functions, including growth transforms, EM, EBW, Rprop, bounds for log-linear models, large-margin formulations, and regularization. Optimization of log-linear models also provides important algorithmic tools for machine learning applications (including deep learning), leading to new research in such topics as stochastic gradient methods, sparse / regularized optimization methods, enhanced first-order methods, coordinate descent, and approximate second-order methods. Specific recent advances relevant to log-linear modeling include the following.
• Effective optimization approaches, including stochastic gradient and Hessian-free methods.
• Efficient algorithms for regularized optimization problems.
• Bounds for log-linear models and recent convergence results
• Recognition of modeling equivalences across different areas, such as the equivalence between Gaussian and log-linear models/HMM and HCRF, and the equivalence between transfer entropy and Granger causality for Gaussian parameters.
Though exponential functions and log-linear models are well established, research activity remains intense, due to the central importance of the area in front-line applications and the rapid expanding size of the data sets to be processed. Fundamental work is needed to transfer algorithmic ideas across different contexts and explore synergies between them, to assimilate the influx of ideas from optimization, to assemble better combinations of algorithmic elements for tackling such key tasks as deep learning, and to explore such key issues as parameter tuning.
The workshop will bring together researchers from the many fields that formulate, use, analyze, and optimize log-linear models, with a view to exposing and studying the issues discussed above.
Topics of possible interest for talks at the workshop include, but are not limited to, the following.
1. Log-linear models.
2. Using equivalences to transfer optimization and modeling methods across different applications and different classes of models.
3. Comparison of optimization / accuracy performance of equivalent model pairs.
4. Convex formulations.
5. Bounds and their applications.
6. Stochastic gradient, first-order, and approximate-second-order methods.
7. Efficient non-Gaussian filtering approach (that exploits equivalence of Gaussian generative and log-linear models and projecting on exponential manifold of densities).
8. Graphic and Network inference models.
9. Missing data and hidden variables in log-linear modeling.
10. Semi-supervised estimation in log-linear modeling.
11. Sparsity in log-linear models.
12. Block and novel regularization methods for log-linear models.
13. Parallel, distributed and large-scale methods for log-linear models.
14. Information geometry of Gaussian densities and exponential families.
15. Hybrid algorithms that combine different optimization strategies.
16. Connections between log-linear models and deep belief networks.
17. Connections with kernel methods.
18. Applications to speech / natural-language processing and other areas.
19. Empirical contributions that compare and contrast different approaches.
20. Theoretical contributions that relate to any of the above topics.
Big Learning : Algorithms, Systems, and Tools
This workshop will address algorithms, systems, and real-world problem domains related to large-scale machine learning ("Big Learning"). With active research spanning machine learning, databases, parallel and distributed systems, parallel architectures, programming languages and abstractions, and even the sciences, Big Learning has attracted intense interest. This workshop will bring together experts across these diverse communities to discuss recent progress, share tools and software, identify pressing new challenges, and to exchange new ideas. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Big Data: Methods for managing large, unstructured, and/or streaming data; cleaning, visualization, interactive platforms for data understanding and interpretation; sketching and summarization techniques; sources of large datasets.
- Models & Algorithms: Machine learning algorithms for parallel, distributed, GPGPUs, or other novel architectures; theoretical analysis; distributed online algorithms; implementation and experimental evaluation; methods for distributed fault tolerance.
- Applications of Big Learning: Practical application studies and challenges of real-world system building; insights on end-users, common data characteristics (stream or batch); trade-offs between labeling strategies (e.g., curated or crowd-sourced).
- Tools, Software & Systems: Languages and libraries for large-scale parallel or distributed learning which leverage cloud computing, scalable storage (e.g. RDBMs, NoSQL, graph databases), and/or specialized hardware.
Big Data Meets Computer Vision: First International Workshop on Large Scale Visual Recognition and Retrieval
The emergence of "big data" has brought about a paradigm shift throughout computer science. Computer vision is no exception. The explosion of images and videos on the Internet and the availability of large amounts of annotated data have created unprecedented opportunities and fundamental challenges on scaling up computer vision.
Over the past few years, machine learning on big data has become a thriving field with a plethora of theories and tools developed. Meanwhile, large scale vision has also attracted increasing attention in the computer vision community. This workshop aims to bring closer researchers in large scale machine learning and large scale vision to foster cross-talk between the two fields. The goal is to encourage machine learning researchers to work on large scale vision problems, to inform computer vision researchers about new developments on large scale learning, and to identify unique challenges and opportunities.
This workshop will focus on two distinct yet closely related vision problems: recognition and retrieval. Both are inherently large scale. In particular, both must handle high dimensional features (hundreds of thousands to millions), a large variety of visual classes (tens of thousands to millions), and a large number of examples (millions to billions).
This workshop will consist of invited talks, panels, discussions, and paper submissions including, but not limited to, the following topics:
-- State of the field: What really defines large scale vision? How does it differ from traditional vision research? What are its unique challenges for large scale learning?
-- Indexing algorithms and data structures: How do we efficiently find similar features/images/classes from a large collection, a key operation in both recognition and retrieval?
-- Semi-supervised/unsupervised learning: Large scale data comes with different levels of supervision, ranging from fully labeled and quality controlled to completely unlabeled. How do we make use of such data?
-- Metric learning: Retrieval visually similar images/objects requires learning a similarity metric. How do we learn a good metric from a large amount of data?
-- Visual models and feature representations: What is a good feature representation? How do we model and represent images/videos to handle tens of thousands of fine-grained visual classes?
-- Exploiting semantic structures: How do we exploit the rich semantic relations between visual categories to handle a large number of classes?
-- Transfer learning: How do we handle new visual classes (objects/scenes/activities) after having learned a large number of them? How do we transfer knowledge using the semantic relations between classes?
-- Optimization techniques: How do we perform learning with training data that do not fit into memory? How do we parallelize learning?
-- Datasets issues: What is a good large scale dataset? How should we construct datasets? How do we avoid dataset bias?
-- Systems and infrastructure: How do we design and develop libraries and tools to facilitate large scale vision research? What infrastructure do we need?
The target audience of this workshop includes industry and academic researchers interested in machine learning, computer vision, multimedia, and related fields.

IPC–SMTA High-Reliability Cleaning and Conformal Coating Conference 2012
This event is focused on electronics assembly reliability and the influence of cleaning and coating on the production of reliable hardware.
"How clean is clean?" is even more challenging to answer: conductors and circuit traces are growing narrower and what is acceptably clean for one industry segment may be unacceptable in others.
The Website Is The App (And Vice Versa)
There are two basic models of media and entertainment companies using mobile web apps built on HMTL5. One model is to create a whole new experience using web technologies. This could be re-packaging existing content, giving new life to archives, or just experimenting with a new format or media product. In my experience, some music labels to this really well The other model is to take the entire media property and create a single, multi-use app where the website, the mobile app, and the tablet app are all one entity. Here, there are some great examples from the news media. The talk will examine case studies of both of these approaches and provide the pros and cons. But the main takeaway is that with HTML5, mobile website and mobile apps can be one-and-the-same.

Is Mesquite, and NOT Plano, the sucker re new DART shuttle?
That's the take from one transit consultant who's been watching the hue and cry about DART's first contract bus service to a non-DART city, Mesquite.
Interesting points here, in an email that came in on the subject:
There's one very important point that has been missed in the debate about the fairness of DART's service to/from Mesquite, and that's the nature of the service that Mesquite is getting.
The Mesquite Compass service is an express route that runs "closed-door" from Hanby Stadium in Mesquite to Lawnview Station in Dallas, and that's no accident (the closed-door part). If the service were local instead of express, and buses were allowed to pick people up along the route, then by Federal law DART would be on the hook to provide whats called complementary ADA paratransit service in Mesquite.
Paratransit service isn't cheap to run, but because of this loop-hole in ADA law, by sticking to express service, DART has no obligations to provide it in Mesquite.
Mesquite does offer their own paratransit service for the elderly and disabled called METS, but they do this out of the goodness of their hearts rather than out of any obligation, since there is no local fixed-route bus service in the city.
So, I guess the point is this: If DART's express service does not allow a passenger to get between any two points within the City of Mesquite, is it really serving the city?
Hanby Stadium is nothing more than a remote parking lot for DART, and DART is the huge winner in the deal – the only thing people can do with this service is access DART, and I suppose parts of the City of Dallas near Lawnview Station.
Nobody is going to be riding this service to get to Mesquite, because there is no connecting local service on the Mesquite end, and Mesquite is not exactly a pedestrian friendly environment. There is METS service in the city, but you must be old / frail and a Mesquite resident to use it, so that pretty much disqualifies any prospective reverse-commuter from Dallas.
So, DART gets however many passengers Mesquite sends their way, and Mesquite pays for the entire cost. Not a bad deal.
I don't think the service has much chance of success, because it requires people to drive anyway – so if you are already driving, why not just skip a step and drive all the way to Lawnview Station (if not all the way to downtown), and save a few bucks by avoiding the premium ticket required for express service?
But, as long as it lasts, this is definitely a good deal for DART, and all the people talking about fairness, should really examine the deal a bit more closely (especially Plano, where DART provides, rail service, local service, express service, on-call service, flex service, and maybe most importantly paratransit service for the disabled and taxi subsidies for the elderly).
If anyone is a sucker here, its Mesquite, not DART or any of its member cities.
Through this lens, you see DART using the Mesquite service to sell excess capacity on its Green Line at extremely favorable rates to the system.

Lee Ragon honored for 53 years of saving lives
February 28, 2012 by admin
Red Cross to Honor Lee Ragon for 53+ Years Saving Lives
Retired Denver Parks & Recreation Aquatics Instructor to Receive Lifetime Achievement Award at Breakfast of Champions March 15
Lee Ragon started lifeguarding as a summer job for Denver Parks and Recreation in 1959. By the time he retired as one of the city's lead lifeguard instructors on Feb. 3, Ragon had had a hand in training lifeguards estimated to be in the thousands and had directly or indirectly saved an untold number of lives.
In fact, thanks in part to his careful training of lifeguards and their instructors, not a single drowning has occurred at a Denver City pool since the mid-1990s.
For his more than 53 years of service saving lives and preventing emergencies, Ragon will receive the American Red Cross Lifetime Achievement Award at the 10th Annual Breakfast of Champions on Thursday, March 15.
American Red Cross Breakfast of Champions
Thursday, March 15, 2012
7-7:30 a.m.: Simulated wildfire experience
7:30-9 a.m. – Award Ceremony
Hyatt Regency at the Colorado Convention Center, 650 15th Street, Denver
Tickets are on sale now at www.ColoradoRedCross.org/Champions
In addition to training lifeguards in Red Cross water safety, CPR, first aid and AED skills, Ragon has been a long-time volunteer instructor for the American Red Cross. Ragon's first involvement with the Red Cross came at an early age, when he was a Boy Scout taking learn-to-swim courses. In 1959 he became a lifeguard as a summer job to complement his schedule as a teacher at Denver Public Schools.
When he retired from teaching in 1992, Ragon began working for Denver Parks and Recreation as a Lifeguard Instructor and then a Lifeguard Instructor Trainer – providing Red Cross training both to lifeguards and their instructors.
"I suppose you could say that every lifeguard in Denver has been trained and tested by me," Ragon said, noting that if he hadn't trained or tested them directly, he probably trained their trainer.
"Lee Ragon has been a strong advocate of safety in Denver Parks and Recreation for over 50 years", said Lauri Dannemiller, manager Denver Parks and Recretion. "This being Lee's focus, he has trained thousands of our lifeguards and staff in water safety, first aid and use of automated external defibrillators throughout his career."
Lee has also volunteered teaching Red Cross courses in the community, and currently serves as a chair on the Red Cross Health and Safety Advisory Committee. In September 2000, he received a Red Cross Certificate of Merit for using his Red Cross training to help rescue 10 seniors when the van he was driving them in was broadsided by another driver.
"Every skill I used, I learned from the Red Cross," he said, noting that, for example, a Red Cross first responder course had taught him how to remove someone safely when they were seatbelted in. "Although my mind was racing, I was able to do a proficient job getting those people out of there."
Looking back over his many years of service, Ragon said he is most proud of his commitment to improving safety. "I feel that, because of the job I've had, I've been able to make recreation around water a much safer place to be," he said. "The lifeguards in Denver are some of the best I've seen. The ones we have in Denver are phenomenal – they're really, really good. I think I've played a role in that."
Ragon is one of 10 local community heroes being honored at the annual Breakfast of Champions, which is the Red Cross Mile High Chapter's single largest fundraiser. The Breakfast of Champions theme this year will highlight wildfires and the Red Cross response to them. Attendees will experience a simulated wildfire and Red Cross response, including mobile feeding operation, shelter and prevention/mitigation. The walk-through simulation will be followed by an award ceremony honoring all sorts of everyday Colorado residents who have performed extraordinary acts of heroism, saved lives, or embody the Red Cross spirit of volunteerism and community service.

2012 London Olympics to Go Green with BMW Electric Cars
German automaker BMW has revealed that at least 200 of the VIP vehicles headed to London for the 2012 Olympic games will be of the electric-only variety. According to BMW, the key focus is to make London's Olympic Games the "greenest ever" and a couple hundred zero-emissions vehicles will help the city meet its goal.
Though the majority of the fleet will consist of, ahem, so-called "clean diesels," the high-profile vehicles of the 2012 Olympic Games will be the 200 BMW ActiveE and Mini E electric cars.
All of the BMWs will make use of VIP-only lanes and it's expected that the fleet of nearly 4,000 Bimmers will be exempt from London's congestion charge, despite the fact that most of the automobiles—although certainly not the Mini E and ActiveE—emit more than London's no-charge limit of 100 g/km of CO2.
While 200 electric vehicles might seem relatively modest, adding that number of zero-emissions automobiles to London's existing electric-only fleet will make the UK's capital city, at least for a few weeks this summer, one of the electric vehicle capitals of the world, exposing millions of people to the virtues of driving without using a drop of petrol.

Ohyeah. Finally an EV from BMW that i can get my hands on. Looked here and they said it was ok. Oh well, time to try this out.
· Car Chapman (not verified) · 3 years ago
Nice move BMW! I've always loved their work as well as the quality BMW parts they've always provided us. Now, they're surprising us with an all new EV selection. This is really great news. Hope it reaches Hamilton soon.

Natural disaster will come again
Sept. 5, 1925, must have been another beautiful late summer day in the bustling new community at the mouth of a canyon called Squilchuck. Where the trickling creek flowed into the Columbia, the Great Northern had built a huge switching facility called the Appleyard. Nearby were two hotels filled with workers, a tourist campground near the highway, a cafe, a grocery store, a post office, and new houses leading up the valley, where the orchards were nearly ready for harvest.
Around 3 p.m. the irrigation district noticed rising waters in the canal, a sign of heavy rain somewhere. Not much later, guests at the Terminal Hotel stood on the porch to watch as thunderclaps told of storm hitting the crest of the Wenatchee Mountains to the west. It was entertainment. Their view of the canyon was blocked by the Springwater Hotel next door.

Michael Del Punta is the latest singing sensation to come out of Youghal. The talented 19 year old crooner wows the diners with his singing in the popular Capri Bay Italian restaurant in Youghal, where he works as a part time waiter. The diners have discovered that Michael is not only good at serving tables, he displays his fine talents singing his favourite songs by artists such as Sinatra, Crosby, Tony Bennett, etc., much to their delight and surprise.Report/Photo: Michael Hussey & Tony Irwin for YoughalOnline.com
The UCC student found he could not afford to bring his girlfriend to fancy restaurants so he decided to work as a part-time waiter in town. After meeting the proprietor of Capri Bay, Gerald Esposito, he immediately got the job and has been working there part-time for the past seven months. While working, Michael would often break out in song in the kitchen, when Gerald and his father Rocco asked him, with such a magnificent voice, to go out and sing to the customers. This has proved to be so popular that he has been affably called 'the singing waiter' by the customers and now Michael sings regularly to the packed restaurant. Now, customers come from far and wide to hear Michael serenade them at the tables as 'the singing waiter'.
A recent Youtube videoclip of Michael singing in the restaurant, made by YoughalOnline.com, is rapidly climbing in the rankings of the entertainment section and is just one of many to be uploaded by YoughalOnline.com in the near future. Michael was also interviewed by Shane Supple on Youghal's local radio station, C.R.Y.
His debut self-titled EP, recorded at Claycastle Studios in Youghal, has exceeded all expectations, so much so that he had to order a second pressing, such is the demand for the singing waiter. Michael says his goal one day is to sing at Madison Square Gardens in New York City, sell twenty five million albums and appear on the Late Late Show!
Michael and his family, who have been living in Youghal for the past seven years, originate from Verona, Italy. Since he was a young boy, when his older siblings were listening to the likes of Depeche Mode, Michael Jackson, Madonna or Kylie, Michael's first contact with music was through his mother's record collection consisting of works by Bing Crosby, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. He has continued this love of that 'big band' genre ever since. He has trained his voice with the help of well-known music conductor, Mary Peadar-Daly where she taught him to study his breathing technique so much so that Michael and his mature voice have been likened to Michael Bublé, although his favourite artist of all time and greatest influence is undoubtedly Ol' Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra.
After moving to Youghal from Italy and studying at the old Youghal CBS school (he was the last person to do the Italian Junior Certificate exam in that school), he completed his fifth and sixth year studies in Pobalscoil na Tríonóide and now currently studies Arts at UCC, Cork City.
Michael has proved to be so popular, he is asked to sing regularly by friends at parties and weddings and is growing in confidence all the time. Speaking exclusively to YoughalOnline.com, he said "I am amazed by the reaction of the Youtube video and would like to thank YoughalOnline.com and everyone involved for their support" and confidently added "the way I see it, you should be able to do whatever it takes to make it to the top."
So on your next trip to Capri Bay Italian restaurant to hear the singing waiter, when ordering your "big-a pizza pie", you'll get "Amoré" than you bargained for!

Despite an uneven offensive effort, the De La Salle High football team continues to give its fans reason for optimism.
De La Salle unveiled its latest offensive star when Amador Valley came to visit Owen Owens Field on Friday night and the Spartans came away with a convincing 42-7 East Bay Athletic League victory.
Thanks to a series of injuries in the offensive backfield, cornerback Frankie Santelises was forced to jump in on the other side of the ball. All the diminutive Santelises did was gash the Dons (3-3, 1-2 EBAL) for 85 yards and three touchdowns on his first four carries of the season. He finished with 106 yards on six official carries, but saw a 64-yard scoring scamper called back on a holding call.
"I've always been a running back," Santelises said. "But this is the first time I've been put in and had to produce on offense. We've had some injuries. I just had to do what I could to help keep the team going."
Tiapepe Vitale, the team's feature back for much of the season, got nicked up with a leg injury in last week's win, and the Spartans (5-1, 3-0) turned to the 5-foot-7, 140-pound Santelises and counted on their bruising offensive line to give him room to work.
"Most of the time I didn't have to do much," Santelises said. "The line blocked amazingly for me. I have to give them all the credit."
The lopsided final score notwithstanding, De La Salle was less than crisp against a game Amador Valley squad. The Dons hung tough, thanks in part to three Spartans lost fumbles and several crucial penalties.
Still, the defense -- also keyed by Santelises, who had an interception and consistently blew up Amador Valley's fly-sweep attack on the edges -- prevented the Dons from getting untracked. Amador Valley had just five first downs and only one in the second half. De La Salle held the Dons to 164 yards of total offense, 72 of which came on one tricky halfback pass.
"We come into every week trying to put forth a perfect effort," Santelises said. "We didn't do that tonight. We made a lot of mistakes. I made a lot. We have to go into next week and work on it."

Jan. 22, 2014 There's a special ingredient to Midland Valley's success. A brand that defines the Mustangs team with its own, unique flavor.
It goes by the name of "Sauce Team."
"We got Texas Pete, Big Mac sauce, white sauce," senior Djuan Green said.
"Sweet chili sauce, sweet bobby rays," senior Taijha Turner said.
"Sweet and spicy, spicy honey mustard...It's just all the sauces really," Green added
On game night, you'll find signs and banners all over Midland Valley's gym, but only one tells the story of AAA's top-ranked squad.
"(Sauce team) is just something the guys came up with. Kind of like the "Fab 5" in the 90s. We just wanted to put something together to make a name for ourselves," sophomore Daniel Carr said.
So, what does sauce team have to do with basketball? Absolutely nothing. But, in some way, it's helping the Mustangs win games
"I think it's a camaraderie thing. It's an identity and it's a confidence thing," coach Mark Snelgrove said.
"Over the summer, before we did it. We didn't have any chemistry, losing almost every game. Once we got together, working together....you could see it on the court-- the chemistry," Carr said.
The "Sauce Team" motto has exploded from the summer. Students from across campus providing support for their sweet, but spicy team.
"We walk in the locker rooms, we walk in the hallways. Everybody's like sauce team, sauce team, sauce team. I think it's kind of like a movement. Even when I graduate, i think it will carry on," Turner said.
While the future is unknown, the Mustangs are living well in the present.
Currently, holding a 16-2 record, and climbing to number one in the state poll.
A state title is realistic for the 'Stangs and the "sauce" nickname has certainly helped.
"I love how everybody is embracing it because it makes us play even harder. We've got to step up, we've got to prove it to everybody," Green said.
The month of February will tell the full story on the Mustangs.
As for now, the proof is in the pudding, or-- sauce, in this case.

George Jones' Final Show Now a Tribute
In what is undoubtedly one of country music's greatest ironies, the final show will go on for the man once nicknamed "No Show Jones."
What was to originally have been George Jones' final concert—Nov. 22 at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville—has now been transformed into a tribute, with Garth Brooks and the rest of the all-star lineup still intact.
"Everyone has been asking if we will still do the show," said George's widow, Nancy Jones. "I have asked Garth, Kid Rock, Travis Tritt, The Oak Ridge Boys, Montgomery Gentry, Sam Moore, Charlie Daniels, Jamey Johnson and others and they all said, 'Yes, I am still going to do it.' So with all the artists still planning on coming, we are going to honor George one final time."
Legendary country vocalist George Jones passed away April 26 in a Nashville hospital at age 81. His memorial last week attracted fans from around the world, as well as some of country's biggest names, from Alan Jackson to Brad Paisley.
In his last-ever interview, George told Country Weekly that he was looking forward to the November blowout.
"Hopefully, we're going to sell out the Bridgestone with the help of Kid Rock and a bunch of others. We're going to have all kinds of music, and I wanted it to be that way, because that's what Nashville is," he said in February.
George didn't have to hope: The concert did sell out. But organizers are advising fans to continue to monitor ticketmaster.com for tickets that might come available.
Look for more on George Jones and his love story with wife Nancy in the May 20 issue of Country Weekly, on stands this weekend.

Let a Garden City, New York Family Law Attorney Help You
Let a Garden City, New York Family Law Attorney Help You
Family Law, by its very nature, is an incredibly emotionally charged area of the law. Whether you are facing a divorce, or contemplating a prenuptial agreement as you enter into marriage, let a Garden City, New York Family Law Attorney help get you through this arduous process.
While individuals can potentially represent themselves in Family Law proceedings, which is referred to as being pro per or pro se, it can be incredibly difficult, if not impossible to separate the legal issues from the personal when attempting to serve as your own counsel.

For example, a man allegedly blew up his New York townhouse after he feared a court ordered sale and division of the sale proceeds. Sadly, this is only a more publicized, and probably more drastic, example of how emotions can escalate during divorce.
Many firms offer free initial consultations so that you can discuss your case, ask questions about what to expect, and get a better sense of how the process typically works. You can also get a better sense of what the typical outcomes might be, given your jurisdiction, and express what direction you want to go in.

Recipe by Mighty Spice Cookbook author, John Gregory-Smith
For many years my brother Tom has been a loyal eating companion of
mine, a wingman, who loves his food and is also real fun to go out with.
Annoyingly he's moved to Hong Kong with his lovely wife Rachel to live,
which makes dinner a bit more difficult to organize. Tom's first choice
whenever we do get to go out is something with scallops, so these
beautiful, Asian-inspired scallops are here to keep him happy. Now all
he has to do is cook them for me.
Ingredients:2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 red chilies, seeded and finely chopped
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 pound 2 ounces scallops, with
or without roe attached
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black
2 large handfuls basil leaves, roughly
1) Heat the oil in a large wok over high heat. When smoking hot, chuck in the garlic
and red chilies and stir-fry 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Add the onion and stir-fry
1 minute, then tip in the scallops and stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes longer, or until the
scallops start to turn golden at the edges.
2) Pour in the soy sauce and fish sauce and sprinkle in the sugar and black pepper. Mix
well and stir-fry 1 minute, or until the scallops are just cooked through and tender.
Throw in the basil leaves, mix well and serve immediately. You can use scallop shells
for presentation, if you like.

Home > Newsroom > News Releases
Basic Earnings to the 10.2 Billion Yen, Net Income to the 11.9 Billion Yen Mark Solvency Margin Ratio Increases to 1629.7%
Tokyo - Manulife Life Insurance Company (Head Office: Chofu-shi, Tokyo; Geoff Crickmay, President & CEO) (hereinafter called "Manulife Japan") hereby announces its full-year results for fiscal 2006 (draft).
During fiscal 2006, strong in-force business based largely on an increase of in-force policies for the Company's main strategic products (namely its universal life insurance products and individual variable annuity products), as well as continued rigorous financial management, helped to improve profitability. Basic Earnings, a key indicator of earnings in Manulife Japan's core insurance business, increased 1.6 billion yen from the previous fiscal year's 8.6 billion yen, to top the 10 billion yen mark with 10.2 billion yen. Net Income also increased, from the previous fiscal year's 10.7 billion yen to 11.9 billion yen.
The Company's solvency margin ratio was 1629.7% as of March 31, 2007, a significant increase from 1429.3% at the end of March 2006. The Company's ability to maintain this high level indicates a solid financial base. On November 7, 2006, Standard & Poor's (S&P) raised its financial strength rating of Manulife Japan to "AAA," the highest level among S&P's 21 rating categories.
In terms of sales, especially in regard to the sale of individual variable annuity products during the latter half of the fiscal year, a number of measures expected to lead to rapid progress in the next fiscal year and thereafter were implemented. These measures include the simultaneous release of new products through multiple sales channels, the release of new versions of popular existing products with enhanced features, and the further expansion of partnerships with major regional banks. In terms of financial results, due to the impact of the voluntary suspension of sales of some individual variable annuity products, new business sales indicated a decrease from the previous year. However, with the help of the aforementioned measures, the impact on earnings was limited. Due to an increase in the number of in-force universal life insurance policies and individual variable annuity policies, which are the Company's main strategic products, the amount of the Company's in-force insurance as of March 31, 2007 came to 5,566.7 billion yen, maintaining a level similar to the previous fiscal year, and annualized premiums on in-force policies rose 8.1% compared with the previous fiscal year to finish at 175.4 billion yen. An increase in sales of variable annuity products through the Company's PlanRight Advisor (Manulife Japan's dedicated sales force, hereinafter called "PA") channel, the release of new corporate insurance products, and other factors helped Manulife Japan to maintain this solid performance.
During the latter half of fiscal 2006, with the goal of enabling strong progress going forward, the Company established an MGA Development Department, to create a third strategic channel to complement the Company's existing PA channel and its affiliated financial institutions channel.
Geoff Crickmay, President & CEO, provided the following statement regarding the (draft) results of this period:
"In order to honor the long-term trust placed in us by our customers, Manulife Japan aims to ensure rigorous financial management. Our ability during this fiscal year to push basic earnings over the 10 billion yen mark and achieve a 1629.7% solvency margin ratio is the fruit of these efforts, and we are very proud of these achievements. We have also received a top "AAA" rating from S&P. With a strong management base and with our basic sales philosophy of "Customer First," we will work to strengthen our claims and benefits payment management structure and enhance our sales channels in order to provide innovative products to meet customer needs."

Lost in space
'Sunshine' dazzles visually but generates little warmth
Humanity is great. I'm all for saving humanity.
But when are we going to stop sending humans into space to do a robot's job?
The empathy and intuition that people use to improvise their way around a problem are the same qualities that usually cause their problems in the first place. And so it is with Danny Boyle's "Sunshine," in which a group of mankind's last, best hopes are left to their own devices in the vastness of space and manage to turn a straightforward assignment - albeit one where the razor-thin margin of error is the difference between death by fire and death by ice - into a suicide mission.
This qualifies as a happy ending in the dire scenario dreamed up by Boyle and his frequent collaborator, screenwriter Alex Garland.
Boyle has broken new ground on almost every film he has made - the drug fantasy "Trainspotting," the plague drama "28 Days Later" and the religious allegory "Millions" - so it's reasonable to expect him to reinvent the space opera as well. But either "Star Trek" and its ilk have poisoned the genre by using up all the good, bad and ugly storylines, or there is nothing new left under the sun.
In any case, "Sunshine" is the work of a talented dabbler who doesn't have much new to say but says it very well. It is a great-looking but dramatically flat bit of star lore docked at the inner shores of the galaxy, rather than its outer limits.
It is the story of a handful of people sent into space with a weapon the "mass equivalent" of Manhattan to jumpstart the dying sun and save Earth from an ice age. They are traveling in the wake of an earlier mission that was never heard from again, and whose unknown fate curses their mission like an albatross.
Each of the crew - a mix of alpha males and Amazon women, played by Cillian Murphy, Michelle Yeoh, Rose Byrne and Troy Garity - step up or break down in turn after the mission is compromised and their air and food supply is depleted.
The film's "2001: A Space Odyssey" sense of the epic is grounded by a formula familiar from films like "Event Horizon" and "Mission to Mars," but mostly like "Alien," in which a domino cascade of bad luck causes people to die, and whose zombie chase down dark corridors seems like a "28 Days Later" homage.
However, "Sunshine" is not a pale imitation of these other films, but an explosive and kinetic variation of them.
It is like a CD of electronic music by a formerly acoustic artist. CGI has always been in Boyle's quiver, but the elegant matte work, miniatures and digital effects here hypnotize and cauterize, in ways that stifle broader themes. "It's like taking a shower in sunlight," says one character, after the blaze of an approaching star washes over him.
The audience often shares that reaction to the film's visual power. Scenes - like the extra-vehicular activity that becomes a race against the rising sun; exploding into the air hatch without a suit; and a character, being quick-frozen in space, whose blood molecules spray like globs of mercury - are perfunctory genre set pieces made painstakingly majestic, while remaining emotionally detached.
Common to Boyle's films is the idea that mankind is equal parts the hubris that sends it hurtling into the unknown and the sacrifices required to conquer it. In "Sunshine," that idea is made grandiose, while remaining unpretentious.

Is Weblog Technology Here to Stay or Just Another Fad?
By BOB TEDESCHI
Published: February 25, 2002
For the last two years or so, so-called Weblogs have slowly built a following among Internet users who like to dash off a few random thoughts, post them on a Web site and read similar musings by others. In the last two months, the universe of Weblogs has grown more quickly, with mainstream media analysts praising "blogs," as the sites are known, for bringing a new type of expression to the Internet, and perhaps undermining the hegemony of global media giants.
But is this a truly new media species, with the power to command the attention of big Internet media companies? Or is it simply that in this, the Internet's fallow period, anything even remotely buzzworthy is given more of a spotlight than it deserves. Is the Weblog, in other words, a fad that is destined to fade?
There are probably as many opinions on these questions as there are bloggers — a number that, by some estimates, is as high as 500,000 and growing briskly. These people publish remarks on their personal Web sites, like the ones popularized by Geocities and other free services in the late 1990's.
The difference is that the technology behind Weblogs makes it easier to post a few lines of text at a time, so instead of feeling obligated to compose a tome, before going through the sometimes arduous task of updating a Web site built with conventional home page software, bloggers can fire off thoughts on a whim, click a button and quickly have them appear on a site.
The result is that Weblogs frequently look like online diaries, with brief musings about the days' events, and perhaps a link or two of interest. Some bloggers include daily notes from novels in progress; others rant about the president, or the television networks, to whoever might be listening.
An example of the form can be found at mybluehouse.com/weblog, where a woman named Becky publishes Weblog entries from France, on topics as diverse as knitting and fiction, and with links to news coverage and personal photos. On a recent day, Becky's Weblog included a link to another Web site showing pictures of Tom Thumb's boots, followed by a review of coffee recipes. Days earlier, the topics were BBC archives and her toddler's taste for dirt. ("My one consolation is should he ever find himself stuck in the wilderness someday, he won't want for food.")
As the popularity of Weblogs grows, companies hoping to make money from the medium are finding opportunities selling the supporting technology to consumers and — if all goes as planned — portals that would do the same.
The companies most responsible for disseminating this technology, analysts said, are Pyra Labs, which runs Blogger.com, a site that sells Weblog software subscriptions and services, and UserLand Software, which sells Weblog software. Their prospects, though not tremendous, are growing, said Dan O'Brien, an analyst with Forrester Research ( news/quote ).
"I think there's something here," Mr. O'Brien said. He predicts the technology will be adopted by the big portal sites for reselling to their users. If the Weblog companies can produce the software at a low cost, he said, "it will be a fairly comfortable business."
The idea of a comfortable business appeals to Evan Williams, chief executive of Pyra Labs. Mr. Williams said he operated the business, and the Blogger.com service, alone for much of last year, after the company's financing and revenues dwindled. "It wasn't always running well, but it ran," Mr. Williams said. He is now up to four employees, though, with plans to hire more as revenues grow.
That could happen quickly. Blogger.com, which had provided the Blogger software and served Blogger pages free since 1999, began an advertising-free service last year for $12 a year, which "helped to pay the bills," Mr. Williams said. A free version of the service remains, although users must agree to accept ads on their Weblogs. In recent weeks, the company introduced another paid service, which, for $35 a year, allows users to upload images and photos along with text, and simultaneously distribute their updated Weblogs to a list of e-mail subscribers.
Mr. Williams declined to cite numbers, but he said the paid service was "going pretty well," and would generate enough income to support the company "within the next month, easily."
More important, Mr. Williams said, the cash infusion will allow him to explore other opportunities, like selling the Blogger services to corporations. Pyra actually had one such client, Cisco Systems ( news/quote ), two years ago. But Mr. Williams said that when Pyra's financial situation darkened, he did not want to "sacrifice the personal publishing side" of the business to pursue other corporate clients.
Inside Cisco, Weblogs have gained a modest, but loyal, following, said Brian Junnila, manager of product marketing for the company's enterprise management division. Mr. Junnila said the Blogger product had grown "from a small core of folks to about 300 engineers in our division" who post and read information about ongoing projects.
"It's been a real solid productivity tool for us," Mr. Junnila said. "It allows us to communicate quickly, and get information to a broader group quickly, in a way that's neatly organized."

With zippers for eyes and a filmstrip collar around its neck, this figure composes an anxious portrait, but its tactile surface of black cloth, faded red velvet, and zippers is charged with the eroticism of imagined touch. Jean originally called this work Secret of the Gardenia after an old movie reel he discovered, along with the velvet stand, at a Paris flea market. As the artist later recalled, Surrealism's leader André Breton "always pressed his friends to center their interest on Surrealist objects," and "he made a certain number himself." Chance discoveries like the movie reel and velvet stand that inspired this work provided a trove of uncanny items for Surrealists to include, combine, and transform in their works.
