Hi Manitoba, Saskatchewan here. Cold enough? ha Sounds like a food allergy? Had any tests for allergies?
Hi, Id like to introduce myself and say that I really enjoy this community. I decided to go Paleo around this past Christmas. I had 2 weeks holiday around then, which I assumed would refresh my energy. Instead, I just felt worse and worse.
When I realized that my lethargy wasnt work related, I started to look at my diet. I dont remember when I discovered Paleo (maybe I was drunk!!) but it hit something. I dont have problems with my weight, but in the month that I have been grain free I have learned that it has affected my skin and my clarity of mind.
My family and I live in Northern Manitoba. We were in the Big City not long ago and decided (poorly) to eat at Red Lobster. Me, only 2 weeks paleo, thought what could go wrong if I eat a biscuit. By the time the entrée came, my throat was tightening and my DH said that I looked flushed. When we got back to the hotel I had massive, red, raised welts all over my face.
So Im convinced And I find it really interesting how my thoughts on food shifted so quickly. I was a carb addict, once upon a time
Im also curious if there are other Northerners hanging around, to give me advice. I live in Northern Manitoba and its difficult. I buy organic when I can, but its expensive. I drive 9 hours to get grass fed meat (totally worth it!!). I'd appreciate any advice
Hi Manitoba, Saskatchewan here. Cold enough? ha Sounds like a food allergy? Had any tests for allergies?
Not up north, but in the "Big City". Not so easy to eat seasonal and local a good part of the year as far as produce goes. You'll find it a lot easier come summer, with farmer's markets and so on. Lots of good local properly raised meat around in the south, good on you for sourcing some even if it means a long trek to get it. Any luck with local egg producers? Look into CSAs for produce for the summer.
If you have the standard grocery stores like Safeway and Sobeys, you can find some decent primal friendly things, Superstore is better, but not sure if you have that in Thompson. There are a few decent organic/health food stores in the city that you can stock up on if you get down here.
Welcome to the tribe .

Suddenly the children turned into wild things. Squealing and clapping, they grabbed their dolls and waved them in the air like tiny totems, miniature replicas of the monstrous, 12-foot-high creatures cavorting onstage. They were watching Where the Wild Things Are, a fantasy musical at the Minnesota Opera based on Maurice Sendak's classic tale of the same name. Sendak, 57, one of America's best-loved illustrators and writers, had designed the sets and costumes and written the libretto for Oliver Knussen's 45-minute opera; the American premiere in September enchanted critics as it has enraptured its audience of children.
For years, Sendak's potent, sometimes dark and fantastic vision of childhood has captured the imagination of young fans, and this fall the evidence of that is more tangible than ever. Wild Things fever is raging through the land, fueled not only by Sendak's delightful opera but also by the appearance in stores coast to coast of Wild Things dolls. (They range in price according to size from $13.50 to $159.95.) "I relish the fantasy of Wild Things driving Cabbage Patch dolls bananas," Sendak says with a chuckle. "Maybe next year you will have to send Cabbage Patch Kids to a mental clinic. Anything to get those ugly creatures out of the house." Grrrrr.
Besides checking on the health of his monsters, Sendak is keeping busy doing what he has always done—making new books. Over the years he has illustrated more than 80 of them, including his famous trilogy: Where the Wild Things Are (1963), In the Night Kitchen (1970) and Outside Over There (1981). And now, with an estimated 20 million of his books in print, two more works, both illustrated by the master, are on the way. Using in part his celebrated production designs for the Janacek opera which were destroyed in a fire, Sendak has illustrated The Cunning Little Vixen, a Czech fable by Rudolf Tesnohlidek (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, $19.95) and In Grandpa's House, a quiet collection of reminiscences and fairy tales by his father, Philip Sendak (Harper & Row, $9.95).
In addition to his prodigious book credits, Sendak has a long history of affection for opera. A buff since childhood, Sendak was handed what he calls a lifeline to his love in 1981, when director Frank Corsaro invited him to collaborate on Mozart's The Magic Flute for the Houston Grand Opera. "I was terrified," Sendak recalls. "If I failed I would have been desolate. But I was very lucky. It worked out." He has since designed sets and costumes for five other operas, including The Cunning Little Vixen, The Love for Three Oranges and Higglety Pigglety Pop. Ahead, fans, are Ravel's L'Enfant et les Sortilèges and L'Heure Espanole and Mozart's unfinished The Goose of Cairo, both for the Kansas City Lyric Opera. Explaining his fascination, Sendak biographer Selma G. Lanes has written, "The operatic stage loomed like the ideal outsized animated popup book, a place where his haunting vision of childhood could attain a magical, living dimension."
That haunting vision springs from Sendak's experiences as a sickly boy in Brooklyn. "I remember all the nourishing feelings of being indoors, in heated rooms, looking outside at the rain falling. I remember sensing the presence of my mother in the kitchen. You could feel the heat radiating out of that room, which was partly kitchen heat and partly her heat."
Sendak, his older brother, Jack, and his sister, Natalie, shared the same room. "Now it would be verboten," Sendak says. "We were inseparable. My brother and I shared abed. My sister slept in another." The trio also created a productive little workshop. Maurice drew, Jack made up stories and Natalie fashioned the book bindings. The children's final masterpiece was a short story called "They Were Inseparable," about a brother and a sister who were passionately in love. Maurice did the drawings on shirt cardboards.
Today Maurice works in a peaceful study in his Connecticut home. Art books and collections of Mickey Mouse memorabilia crowd the shelves around him. Sendak's constant companions—he has never married—are lo, a golden retriever named after the Greek maiden Zeus turned into a heifer, and Runge, a German shepherd named in honor of the 18th-century painter Philipp Otto Runge. His favorite time of the day is bedtime. With his dogs nearby (they turn up as faithful friends in the pages of his books), he will switch on the night-light and reach for a book, often a Thoreau or a Jane Austen. Never one by Maurice Sendak. "Heavens," he says, "why would I ever want to do that?"

TCGBTBOCDBASSIC, a BoB
Tentatively Called Grey BoB The Bringer Of Caos, Destruction, Bleakness And Sesame Seed Ice Cream or just TCGBTBOCDBASSIC is a BoB.
BoB's need no introduction, this is my own rendition of a BoB, printed the plastic parts on my first weekend of printing with my newly arrived Makibox A6 HT, albeit not a perfect print I believe it's good enough to make a full BoB out of it so that he can join the ranks!
No there's still the worse part to come, how to fill that big empty head of his...
February 15th, 2014
Fitted servos in BoB's legs (with the help of a screwdriver and hot glue) and HC-SR04 in BoB's peep holes (with the help of a file).
February 8th-9th, 2014
Printed BoB's parts on my Makibox A6HT using Grey ABS filament.
Best name hands down :)
Best name hands down :) Awesome robot as well!
Congrats on the great print
Congrats on the great print kariloy.I am sure you will fill the head soon, and dominance shall prevail! Fellow BoBs, beware!!!
Well done kariloy, not only
Well done kariloy, not only another BoB rises but also a BoB with a quite cool name :-) (LOL)

I'd love to see who you'd think would be good to replace him.
It won't be anyone with his credentials, but a change is needed. It's gotten stale with Holland.
That's the point. I don't want to think he has life tenure as GM just because of previous successes. Sure looks that way now.

If the emphasis on political victimhood, religious sacrifice and self-inflicted suffering in Cal can be traced to the intensely violent time in which it was written, it may be equally appropriate to read Grace Notes, at least in part, as a product of its time, prefiguring and reflecting as it does important changes in cultural and political discourses in Northern Ireland during the period of the peace process which began in 1993. The novel depicts a young Northern Irish woman, Catherine McKenna, now living in Scotland, who is seeking to recompose herself through music in the traumatic aftermath of her daughter's birth and her father's death. She is a woman in a state of physical and psychic flux, a "prodigal daughter�…

Say "Yes" to Exercise
10 Ways to Solidify Your Fitness Routine
In addition to being "too busy" or just plain unmotivated, many people just can't seem to say "yes" to exercise once and for all. It's like they're stuck some cyclical pattern of trying to exercise for a while and inevitably giving up.
You see this all the time in people who view exercise as a task that they MUST do in order to prevent weight gain, when it can actually be something that's fun, enjoyable and provides real, lasting benefits. There has to be a mental switch somewhere down the line.
So how does someone say "yes" to exercise? Start with committing to one thing and following through on it, whether it's signing up for a gym membership, meeting a friend for a daily walk after work, or buying a new pair of running shoes. The more "yes" decisions you make as you go, the more likely your fitness routine will be something that sticks for the long haul.Next Prev Slide 2 / 10

GE shareholders reject plan to split top jobs
Shareholders of the General Electric Co., parent company of GE Transportation in Lawrence Park, shot down a proposal Wednesday to split the roles of chairman and chief executive, jobs currently held by Jeff Immelt.
That's according to a report from Reuters news service.
Reuters wrote: "The proposal from the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) pension plan failed at the company's annual shareholder meeting in New Orleans, receiving roughly 25 percent of shares voted."
AFSCME argued that the company needs an independent chairman who can check a CEO's power and hold the executive accountable.
"Shareholder value is enhanced by an independent board chair who can provide a balance of power between the CEO and the board and support strong board leadership," the group said in a proxy filing, according to Reuters.
GE's current board argued its current system worked "because it allows one person to speak for and lead the company and board while also providing for effective oversight and governance."
Reuters said AFSCME said it hasn't decided whether to offer a similar proposal at GE's next shareholder meeting, but was encouraged more shareholders voted to split the roles this year than at 2012's meeting.
"There's a growing trend for these type of proposals," said the AFSCME's John Keenan.
The group is pushing a similar measure at JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM. N) that shareholders will consider at their annual meeting next month.
The movement to split the two roles gained steam across corporate America after the 2008 financial crisis as a way to increase management accountability, Reuters said.

Church Discipline: Lost, but Recoverable
This article first appeared in the Western Recorder, (July 23, 1959) and is reprinted by permission.
One of the most neglected and unpopular themes of our era is church discipline. To consider it one needs no crusading complex, but to do anything about it calls for a yearning to be a "prophet" rather than a "priest," the latter term being translated, "an ecclesiastic," or, being interpreted, a drifter with the strongest current of the "status flow."
The contemporary age is characterized by a lack of discipline. This begins with the individual and the paucity of true self-discipline. Most people like to be entertained, to be helped, to be passively taught, to be served. Only a few are willing to discipline themselves in work, in study, in unselfish service to others. Many are caught up in the grandiose delusion of "something for nothing."
The same absence of discipline is manifested in today's homes in America. Parents are often not willing to provide either the positive nurture for children which grows out of spiritually and emotionally mature family life or the negative correction which curbs disobedience and those attitudes which issue in juvenile delinquency. Young people, reared in and conditioned by domestic life without discipline, expect the school, society, and the state to provide a similar laissez faire environment. Thus, the school must necessarily inherit the problems of discipline unsolved by the home and is supposed to attempt the discipline which inheres in education itself.
The civil order is burdened with the problem of discipline, not only in its prosecution and punishment of those who commit crimes but also in the failure of so many of its citizenry to submit to the discipline of public service.
The lack of discipline in international relations is clearly indicated by the hot wars of aggression and the "cold war" of "peaceful coexistence."
Unfortunately, the churches for the most part are no exception to this contemporary trend toward the breakdown of all discipline. Church discipline, which was of so great concern to our forebears in the gathered church tradition of Protestant Christianity, and this includes Baptists, no longer affects the lives or even is registered on the lips of their spiritual descendants. To paraphrase MacArthur, church discipline has never officially died; it has just faded away!
Is church discipline Biblical? Without raising the question of internal discipline in the community of Israel, one may turn to the New Testament where an affirmative answer awaits the inquirer. Some discipline within the Christian congregations was wrought by direct divine agency as in the instance of the sudden deaths of Ananias and Sapphira, who "lied to the Holy Spirit" by retaining part of the proceeds from the sale of a certain piece of property while pretending to give all to the Christian community (Acts 5:1-11). Some discipline was also accomplished by the voluntary withdrawal or departure of those who were not truly Christians. This seems to be the import of the statement in 1 John 2:19: "They (i.e., many anti-Christs) went out from us, but they were not of us: for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out, that it might be plain that they all are not of us." However, the discipline of the Christian churches of the New Testament era was, according to the Apostle Paul, also to be exercised by the specific action of the churches. Perhaps no passage makes this clearer than 1 Corinthians 5. Christians and churches of the twentieth century may neglect, abandon, or deny the validity of church discipline in its negative aspects, but they cannot claim the authority of the New Testament for doing so.
The early Baptists–indeed most all Baptists through the nineteenth century–were greatly concerned about and definitely engaged in the practice of church discipline. They found in the New Testament not only Acts 2:47 RSV, "And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved," but also Matt. 18:17 RSV, "If he (your brother) refuses to listen to them (witnesses), tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector."
One of the clearest statements about church discipline in Baptist history is the "Summary of Church-Discipline" adopted in 1773 and published in 1774 by the Charleston (S. C.) Baptist Association. As a well-orbed presentation of church discipline the "Summary" deals with both positive and negative aspects. Present-day Christians should realize that all Christian nurture, whether through the educational organizations of the church or in the direct spiritual and moral confrontation of a member with members in the fellowship of the church, is Christian and church discipline. Such church discipline, according to the "Summary, " has as its negative side the censures of the church, namely, rebuke or admonition, suspension, and finally excommunication. Basic principles and specific procedures for the application of these censures are described. Furthermore, it is the duty of every church member to submit repentantly to the church's discipline "so far as it is consistent with the Word of God." It is the duty of the church to administer the discipline with prayer and solemnity. It is the duty of the minister, says the Charleston "Summary," to see that the discipline determined by the congregation is duly executed, and he himself as a member of the congregation is subject to its discipline.
Present-day Baptist churches, whether they claim an historical succession to the apostles or affirm a qualitative likeness to New Testament churches, do not for the most part stand in the apostolic and/or Baptist tradition of church discipline. The factors making this so may be legion: The breakdown of the distinction between "church" and "world," the stressing of numerical gains in church membership, abuses in the former practices of church discipline, a gradual substitution of professional efficiency for genuine ministerial piety, the popularization of church membership, the admission of the unregenerate to the churches, the blurring of essential lines or moral and ethical distinction! The question may aptly be raised, "Are we today the neo-Baptists?"
What is to be done about the present abandonment of church discipline, especially in its negative aspects? Can the trend be reversed? Can discipline be rightly restored without the abuses that often accompanied its abandonment? Can its restorative, reclamatory purposes be kept in view while it is being administered? These are major questions that call for clear and dedicated answers.
Church discipline is a corollary of the doctrine of the Christian life, wherein Christians must, as Paul said, keep on "putting off the old man" and "putting on the new man." "Discipline" and "discipleship" come from the same Latin word, meaning "to learn."
Church discipline is implicit likewise in our Baptist ecclesiology, which has in its best expressions always held forth the necessity of a disciplined as well as a regenerated and baptized membership.
Church discipline is needed as a deterrent to the moral decline of our time. It used to be said of Baptists because of their congregational polity and tendency to air disputes publicity, "The Baptists wash their dirty linen in public." One wonders whether the time may fast be approaching when Baptists just "hang their soiled linen out to dry." Church discipline, because of its New Testament basis, should have its rightful place in Baptist life and practice. The New Testament has more clear statements on church discipline than on the millennial reign, but there seem to be no pro-, anti-, or a-parties shaping up. Dr. J. B. Gambrell said that "we Baptists are many but not much," but church discipline of both positive and negative variety can help Baptists to be both "many" and "much."
Church discipline will depend to a large extent on those who have the responsibility not only to proclaim the gospel of Christ but to instruct, exhort, and admonish Christians as to the well ordering of their lives in the fellowship of the body of Christ. Yet it should be the concern of all church members. The tide cannot be turned overnight, as readily as one would obtain money to get a ping-pong table or volleyball court for the church's young people or get the Brotherhood to have a supper. Christians can bear witness to and practice the truth of Christian discipline both in their individual lives and in the fellowship of the people of God. What do you say? Are you willing? May God help us so to do!
When this article was first published in 1959, the issue of church discipline was being discussed among Southern Baptists almost solely in reference to the problem of nonresident church members. In 1962 Broadman Press published within its "Broadman Historical Monograph" series the present author's Baptist Church Discipline: A Historical Introduction to the Practices of Baptist Churches, with Particular Attention to the Summary of Church Discipline Adopted in 1773 by the Charleston Association, which contained the text of the Charleston Summary. The modest interest in church discipline aroused in the 1950's and in the early 1960's soon was displaced by issues of racial justice, war, poverty, and sexual revolution. Baptist Church Discipline went out of print after the first edition and has not been reprinted. In 1988 a British Baptist pastor, Michael John Collis, submitted a Th.M. thesis to the University of London on "The Theology and Practice of Church Discipline amongst Baptists with Particular Reference to Baptists in the United Kingdom," and it remains to be seen whether such a study is indicative of a new interest in and concern about church discipline among British Baptists.

Sinnott sworn in for 3rd term
Battling violence, revitalizing neighborhoods, promoting economic development and fiscal responsibility will continue to be priorities during Erie Mayor Joe Sinnott's final four years in office.
Sinnott said as much while addressing an audience of nearly 200 people in the Bagnoni Council Chambers at Erie City Hall on Monday, as he was sworn in for a third term by Erie County Judge Elizabeth Kelly.
"Our future is truly exciting," Sinnott said. "I look forward to the next four years and what we as a community can accomplish together.
"Today I renew my promise that everything I do will be in the best interests of the community as a whole," Sinnott said.
Sinnott, 47, faced no opposition in May's Democratic primary and easily won re-election in November's municipal election, despite a campaign from write-in candidate Jon Whaley. He will be barred from running for a fourth term in 2017 because of the city's three-term limit.
Sinnott, during a 10-minute address, thanked his family, friends, political supporters and administrative staff at City Hall. He said that when he took office in January 2006, Erie faced a multimillion-dollar budget deficit and was on the verge of entering the Act 47 program for distressed municipalities, which would have meant state oversight of Erie's finances.
But Sinnott said city officials have "replaced the prospect of looming financial disaster with a positive community outlook which has generated excitement about the future and forged a new cohesiveness to be successful for decades to come."
Addressing gun violence, Sinnott said that city police and others "continue to target high-risk, violent offenders and remove them from our city, as well as focusing on property crimes which feed the supply of guns to our streets."
He added that building more "family-friendly neighborhoods" will continue under his watch, and economic development will continue to focus on bayfront development, helping existing businesses, luring new businesses to the area and other projects that help Erie's economy grow.

Train station, bus station, ferry port and airport bus station are all located in the same area. So from there, when you forward towards the sea, on your right you will see old town, so just walk towards the old town for about 200 meters following street Obala Kneza Domagoja untill you come to the crossroad between Obala Kneza Domagoja and street Kralja Zvonimira just about 20 meters before old city walls. (On your left you will see big white promenade /walking zone and on your right you will see road going little bit uphill. That road is on the street Kralja Zvonimira .Follow the street Kralja Zvonimira for about 30 meters and you will see a traffic light and another crossroad. Continue walking straight following street Kralja Zvonimira after the traffic light for another 30 meters and on you right side you will see a street called Ulica Sv. Petra Starog (better known as Petrova street).So turn right from street Kralja Zvonimira to Petrova street and just follow Petrova street for about 100 meters until you come to the supermarket Tommy. We are located right next to the supermarket at Petrova Street 42.
If you are taking a car you just follow the same route as described for guests coming by foot.
From the airport you can take the airport bus which is around 35 kunas (5 euros) and then just follow directions above or we can arrange airport transfer with a taxi for a price of 250 HRK.

I mentioned it one time on a Jason Brown thread, but I'd really like him to skate to something like "California Dreaming" by the Mamas and the Papas.
I think he'd do great with this cool hippy anthem.
It would be different. It would be memorable. And I think a good choreographer could deliver a great CoP SP with it. The flute solo begs to be choreographed into a step sequence.
I just posted a video on his fan thread of Jason skating to Attaboy, a piece by Goat Rodeo, a collaboration between Yo Yo Ma and several bluegrass musicians. It was choreographed by Garrett Kling as part of an entry in the Young Artists Showcase in 2012:
It would be cool if more people skated to bluegrass (and its variations) because a lot of it is quite good!
And Yo-Yo Ma has been doing some awesome music exploration though The Silk Road Ensemble, which is made up of musicians from around the world. Instead of Scheherazade, why not something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZpEjrdf56k
If you get a chance, do see the movie. I'm a racing nut and I absolutely loved every second of it.
I would like to see someone skate to the music from "The King's Speech." That would include the Beethoven music in it (3rd symphony, & another Beethoven piece that is used towards the end of the movie - have to check the liner notes on my copy of the CD).
Thankfully, the YAS programs didn't have to be COP friendly. They are quite fun to watch, the other videos on the YAS YouTube channel are definitely worth checking out.
That said, Garrett Kling choreographed Kiri Baga's SP this year, so he's getting his feet wet doing COP-friendly choreography. The program music, however, is the warhorse also known as Sasha Cohen's Olympic SP, "Dark Eyes." I do think Kiri makes a good effort skating to the music and there are some nice choreographic touches.
And Liberi Fatali from Final Fantasy VIII was almost made for Davis & White. I can just imagine the speed and nuanced choreography they could pull off with this. It would be spine-tingling.
Video game music really has changed! Who should do the Orchestral music for Zelda?
Skaters seem to already have discovered Two Steps From Hell, so I'm glad about that.
A rather random selection of some of my favourites:
Undying Love
Foggy Beginnings
To Glory
And so on, and so forth.
City Of Blinding Lights
Into The Grey Soundtrack
Game Of Thrones main theme
Hi I'm new here and I would love someone to skate to Lovers-Mei and Jin or Flower Garden from the movie House of Flying Daggers and Yumeji's theme from the movie In The Mood For Love all of these songs are composed by Shigeru Umebayashi, To Kill A Mocking Bird theme by Elmer Bernstein, and Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber. I would also love to hear some pieces from Joe Hisaishi and Ryuichi Sakamoto.
Welcome to Golden Skate, Gigi!
Peng & Zhang are skating to House of Flying Daggers this year! I don't know which songs from the movie they used, though. Some skaters have used Joe Hisaishi's music, including Howell's Moving Castle.
I would like to see Davis & White do an exhibition to She by Elvis Costello.
Doris, Peng & Zhang are actually using music from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon for their SP; this is the song they are skating to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApWFXugUKG4
Gigi13, Mirai had a terrific SP in the 2009-2010 season that used a piece by Joe Hisaishi (Fragile Dreams). Kozuka has also skated to music by Hisaishi: his 2011-2012 LP was to the Nausicaa soundtrack. Chen Lu also had a LP to Nausicaa back in 1994.
As for Ryuichi Sakamoto, Satoko Miyahara uses his music for her SP this season (the soundtrack to Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence). Chen Lu's marvelous 1995 LP was skated to music from the soundtrack of The Last Emperor, to which Sakamoto contributed.
As an aside note, here is some useless trivia: even though it was made famous by In the Mood For Love, the song Yumeji's Theme is originally from another movie named (you guessed it!) Yumeji, about a Japanese poet and painter.

On Tap for Today: Sun, jazz, opera and techno-art
Our weather forecast says 70-something, 70-something, 70-something all week long. That's enough to inspire a lead about the weather, normally considered a cliche and a no-no.
It's also inspiration for reacquainting yourself with the outdoors. So slip on some headphones on your lunch hour, get a good walk in and stream some entertaining and provocative radio about the state of jazz in Milwaukee.

These people, moments made pop culture pop in 2013
Miley Cyrus didn't get a Grammy nomination. "Duck Dynasty" was snubbed by the Emmys. And "Anchorman 2" won't be staying classy at the Oscars.
But in our eyes, they're award-worthy. Because love 'em or hate 'em, millions talked (or tweeted) about them. And along with North West and 'N Sync, "Breaking Bad" and Paula Deen breaking down, they made pop culture pop in 2013. »Read Full Article(1)

Oakland adopts ordinance banning false advertising by anti-choice "crisis pregnancy centers"
On July 19, the Oakland City Council unanimously passed an ordinance that makes it illegal for so-called crisis pregnancy centers to misrepresent themselves as medical clinics or objective health care counselors when in reality they are fronts for anti-abortion activists. The vote makes Oakland the second city in the nation to proactively ban false advertising by CPCs after San Francisco passed a similar ordinance in 2011.

You are invited to an event supporting Oakland City Attorney Barbara Parker's officeholder account, on Friday May 31, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at the home of John and Melissa Russo, 6647 Forestland Way, in Oakland.
November 7, 2012
Dear Friends,
Last night, the voters gave our campaign a resounding and incredible victory with over 68 percent of the vote.
I am so honored that my fellow Oaklanders have elected me to a full term as City Attorney, so I can continue serving the people of this great city with professionalism, integrity, and independence.
I want to thank you for all that you did for the last year to make this victory possible. Whether you donated, helped us call voters on the phone, attended an event or a debate, hosted a house party, posted a lawn sign, or told your neighbors about our campaign, every little bit made a difference. Thank you.
Oakland is a wonderful city, but we owe it to ourselves to make it even better. We have much work to do to make our neighborhoods safer and our government more accountable and fiscally responsible. I hope you will join me in that effort.
With your trust and your support, I am ready to go forward to serve this city we love for the next four years.
Thank you ever so much for putting your faith in me. I promise I will do you proud.
-Oakland City Attorney Barbara Parker
Oakland Tribune Editorial: Parker Earned Right to Serve Full-Term As Oakland City Attorney
There are two serious contenders in the Nov. 6 election who want to run the Oakland City Attorney's Office:
- Lawyer Barbara Parker has worked in the office for 20 years, including 10 years as chief assistant. Last year, when John Russo resigned as city attorney, Parker was appointed to the top post.
- Jane Brunner, a labor and civil rights attorney, has served on the City Council for 20 years.
Oakland's city attorney must provide objective legal advice to city employees and officials, sometimes issuing politically unpopular analyses and recommendations. For this critical position, we see no reason to replace a seasoned professional with a politician.
The campaign itself is Exhibit A. Brunner has leveled charges against Parker about the size of the office's budget using numbers that were set before Parker took office. She has criticized Parker for advice on litigation that, before last year, was the purview of another top assistant.
Brunner's complaints seem to be election-season posturing. She flat-out says the office should be political. We disagree. Although the city attorney is an elected post in Oakland, the officeholder should be a professional first and foremost.
It's too early to judge the Parker tenure, but what we see so far we like. She has made strides to depoliticize the city attorney's office and turn attention back to its core mission. She has reorganized the office and taken steps to control costs.
The choice is clear. Parker deserves a full term.

Running v sparring
As i've said before i've never been the best runner, if i'm lucky i'll get a couple of miles done twice a week. I train with people who run faster, longer and more often than me yet when we spar they will struggle to go 3 rounds whereas i can go 7 rounds no problem, any explenations??

These words arent scientifically proven but in my opinion;
Sparring uses both hands and feet
Sparring is highly anerobic
Sparring involves intense concentration and timing
Sparring involves being subject to intense fatigue and pain through way of body and head punches.
No other athlete from any non combatative sport can outlast and outbox a skilled boxer.. And that works both ways too..

It's two different things. You'll find the better boxer usually when sparring/fighting can refrain from wasting energy. Like what Hatton said about PBF "he was very clever, he knows how and when to take and steal breaks."

Did you ask yourself that question after yesterday's press conference?
Granted, no one really expects anything earth shattering to come out of a pre-spring practice PC, but it would be kind of nice to learn something at all--just to avoid completely wasting your time.
But instead of hearing that Jay Paterno is leaving, or Galen Hall is taking over the offense, or Anthony Morelli will be the starting quarterback, or Joe's retiring after this season--we hear the same damned thing we've been hearing for years.
The QB position is up for grabs. Really. Not really. Maybe.
We do know for sure that one of our best receivers is lost for the season--no, I'm not talking about the injured Perretta--I'm talking about Robinson. Moving him to QB is a double whammy--you lose the opportunity to develop a QB for the future, and you lose a receiver at the same time.
Here's some snippets from the Citizens Voice, mainly because I never knew there was a Citizens Voice.
Everything after that went pretty much as expected, almost to the letter of the Paterno press conference handbook. He shrugged. He smiled.
He rested his head on his right hand while spending a couple minutes weighing the options.
In one breath, he said, "I really haven't thought about playing Mike anywhere but quarterback at this point."
In the next: "I really, honestly, can't see Morelli not playing."
Then again, Paterno also mentioned how much he liked redshirt freshman Paul Cianciolo, and how hard freshman Kevin Suhey has worked.
Maybe Anthony can kick the ball. That area is a little iffy.
The author, Donnie Collins sums it up like this:
If Robinson is a star quarterback in waiting, he hasn't shown it.
But don't you get the feeling you could have substituted any number of names into yesterday's PC? Mills/Robinson. Senneca/Mills. Thompson/Casey, Richardson/McQueary. The list goes on.
More often than not, it seems we have a QB controversy. And more often than not, it seems like an unnecessary situation, brought on by a system that rewards kids with a starting position by virtue of seniority, and a lack of commitment by the head coach.
Is such a controversy a good thing? Does it really encourage healthy competition, or does it foster an environment where kids are afraid of making mistakes, knowing that the next guy is sitting on the bench waiting for his chance.
I'll concede that for Spring Practice, this is a good thing. Open up every position--the best players win their starting jobs. But unfortunately, by fall, it too often happens that the players still don't know where they stand, especially on offense. Even our offensive line, as important as that is to the success of the offense, has been a work in progress even after the first game of the year. Is it any wonder it takes 8-10 games to gel???
This hemming and hawing by Paterno scares me. It's not really a platoon system. (Both QBs would know they will play, and often when, such as alternating halves, quarters, or series.) It's not really an open position if the senior already has the advantage in the coach's mind. Perhaps many coaches use this system--but I think it would be difficult to practice under these circumstances when not only is your opponent the other team, but also the guy on the bench.
Use Spring practice--and maybe the first week in the fall--to decide who plays where. Then stick with it. Don't pick one to be the starter, and then change your mind halfway through the first game on a whim.
Bob Flounders has some comments on the PC as well:
"We have not had a kid catch a 6-yard hitch and make somebody miss and run for a 50-yard gain," Paterno said.
"We just haven't had those kinds of things since we lost [wideout] Bryant Johnson in that class two years ago with the four first-round draft picks, which was a really good offensive football team.
Can you really expect 6 yard passes to go for 50 yards? Once a season? Twice a season? Every game? Actually, that is the theory of some offenses. Spread the field, lots of targets and make yards after the catch. When you are only sending two receivers out in a pattern, it's hard to expect a lot of yards after the catch. The secondary can focus too much. Maybe if Joe sent four receivers out, you could get more one on one coverage, and guys could make some yards after the catch. It also helps to catch the ball in the middle of the field where you have room to make some moves. Most of our receivers are catching outs along the sideline--the defense uses the out of bounds as a twelfth man.
Oh, and by the way, wouldn't the 'greatest athlete' Joe has coached be the kind of guy to break a tackle and rip off 50 yards after a catch???

GIMP 3-D, 3 Ways
When you add text to a photo in GIMP, sometimes it comes out looking flat and boring. Today, let's explore three ways of adding an extra dimensions to your images and text.
You're probably familiar with the basic Filters/Light and Shadow/Drop Shadow…. But you can use Drop Shadow to round your text and make it more three-dimensional as well. The trick is to make a drop shadow of the inverse of the text.
First, make sure your Layers dialog is visible — Control-L or Windows/Dockable dialogs/Layers will bring it up if it isn't showing already — and that your text layer is the active layer (Figure 1).

The Johnson County Sheriff's Office is asking for assistance in solving several residential burglaries throughout the unincorporated areas of the county. These residential burglaries are occurring during daylight hours, when most people are at work or school typically between 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
There have been four burglaries in the past two weeks along Mission Road in Stilwell between 163rd and 215th Streets and one on State Line Road, in Cass County, Mo.
In addition, four burglaries in an area of 215th Street from Spring Hill to Edgerton were reported and two residential burglaries have been reported just south of De Soto in the past two weeks.
The sheriff's office is seeking the public's assistance by reporting any suspicious person, vehicle or occurrence they may have witnessed such as:
- Vehicles that may be unfamiliar or parked in places they should not be like at the dead end of a street, in a neighbor's driveway or behind a house.
- Suspicious persons that come to the door and do not have professional identification and or vehicle.
- Persons removing items from a neighbor's house.
A common trait among residential home burglary suspects is the suspect will knock on the front door of a residence to see if someone is home. If the resident answers the door, the suspect will provide a story to explain their presence such as, "I am lost, which way to the Interstate" or "I am looking for John Smith, he is supposed to live close by, can you give me directions" or "I am looking for a house to rent, a pasture to rent, scrap metal to clean up."
Generally, the suspect will leave if the residence is occupied.
If the residence is empty or the door is not answered the suspects force open a door and enter the residence.
Anyone who has experienced anything suspicious in the past month or in the future should immediately contact law enforcement. Any description is helpful, such as: Vehicle description, license plate information, make, model, writing on the side of the vehicle, and color. Also, suspect Information such as: height, weight, hair color, race, sex, and what the suspect said, can assist law enforcement in the effort to solve burglary crimes.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Johnson County Sheriff's Office Investigations Division at 913-715-5560, go online to www.jocosheriff.org and click on Report a Crime or call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS (8477).

I've heard that glucose is preferable. Maybe a sweet potato or boniato would do the trick.
Is fructose as easily accessible as glucose during high intensity training? I know that fructose is mostly metabolized in the liver, but can it also be stored as muscle glycogen? If not as efficiently, then where do we get glucose to refill depleted glycogen if not from grains?
I know Mark advocates low intensity exercise so as not to deplete glycogen, but I can't help it. I love high intensity training too much.
After a hard session of sprinting and heavy deadlifting, my muscles are begging for sugar. Will fruit do the trick? I know I cant depend on veggies for the job.
I've heard that glucose is preferable. Maybe a sweet potato or boniato would do the trick.
Fruit won't do anything to build muscle. It should be protein that your muscles are screaming for. Carb loading with fruit if that's what you're wanting to do, should be done before the workout to fuel your workout. Once you've done that you'll need the protein to repair and add more muscle.
My goal isn't muscle building. I am not looking to necessarily carb load, I'm looking to refuel and replenish spent glycogen after my high intensity workouts.
Carb loading is meant done specifically for the glycogen. My advice would be don't do it. The reason that we think that we need to do that is because we're all hammered with Gatorade commercials that tell us that it's a good idea. A great part of your high intensity workouts is that you do burn through your glycogen. Once you've done that your muscles will be using fatty acids as fuel and those come from your fat cells. Eating sweet fruit will cause an insulin spike and get you rout of the fat burning mode that you've just put yourself in.
This thread got to me thinking... I am doing the p90x workouts and I have a protein smoothie after my workouts. I always add a banana because I add some supplements to my smoothie that only a banana will mask. Should I have my smoothie before my workout instead and just have some protein after my workout????
Banana's should be eaten in moderation anyway if you're looking to burn fat. You have the protein part right, but I'd recommend finding a new mask for your supplements.

• Research using a computer-assisted instructional program developed for teaching well-newborn care is described. Third-year medical students were randomly assigned during their week-long nursery rotation into three groups to study the acceptability and effectiveness of using the computer-assisted instructional lessons. Group A, the control group, was not required to complete any additional educational task. Group B was assigned specific reading material. Group C completed the microcomputer-based tutorial. (The term tutorial is often used interchangeably to describe the computer-assisted instructional program.) Both groups B and C improved dramatically on a posttest in comparison with group A. There was no statistically significant difference between groups B and C on the improvement from pretest to posttest scores. However, significantly less time was spent by group C completing the tutorial compared with the total time spent reading by group B. The results of this study provide further illustration of the feasibility and effectiveness of using a computer-assisted instructional program for medical student education.

I don't think it's rare. When it first came out, collectors would have killed for her. She was really never a peg warmer, but not rare where I live (southern CA) I have a few, If you want one, let me know? The real rare FF would be from col#3 Like Weequay, AT-ST driver, Fett, Sandtrooper etc..

I have one, but I opened it. I used to see them at KB Toys awhile ago for $2.99.

Some price guides may have listed it differently like Slave Leia, Enslaved Princess Leia, or Leia as Jabba's Prisoner. They're all the same though. She was a tough find during the first release and uncommon (but not rare) on the FF card.
I think by the time the FF version was released, most people had one from the first release. I didn't notice them flying off the pegs that fast either, sure they weren't pegwarmers but they were readily available.
PRINCESS LEIA as JABBA'S PRISONER
The .01 FF w/ 'Marie' misspelling is the rarer of the two FF variations - the other is on a .02 cardback with correct 'Marae' spelling.
However, both of these are neither rare nor common. I guess they would be uncommon.
Check SSG price guide to see how rare they rate this figure. . .my guess is probably a three or four. I am leaning towrds three.
The movie changed my life. It was much better than Cats. I'd go see it again and again and again.

About This Book
On a freezing day in the arctic, two polar bear cubs venture outside with their mother. She teaches them how to use their claws so they don't slip in their frozen world. Then she leads them across the sea ice, the only place to hunt for seals, their primary food. The bears need lots of fat to survive through the summer when the ice is gone and food is scarce.
Best-selling author Brenda Guiberson gives young readers a fascinating glimpse into the world of the polar bear. Breathtaking illustrations by Ilya Spirin bring the rich details of the arctic to life.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Sheryl Crow
- late 1960s
Bernice and Wendell Crow encourage their four children to take up music and even play piano and trumpet, respectively, in a big band. Daughter Sheryl begins playing the piano at an early age. "We had four pianos in the house, and we all practiced at once," Crow tells PEOPLE of her childhood in the farming town of Kennett, Mo. "Mom stood in the kitchen cooking and monitored us, but I still don't know how she could hear."
- 1984
All Grown Up
Crow graduates from the University of Missouri with a degree in piano and voice and takes a job teaching elementary in St. Louis. After breaking up with her devout Christian fiancé who, according to PEOPLE, insists that she sing exclusively "for the Lord," she moves to L.A. to pursue music.
- 1987
She's Bad
After crashing a closed audition, Crow lands a gig as a back-up singer on Michael Jackson's 18-month Bad world tour. "He was never around," Crow, who sang "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" as a duet onstage with the King of Pop, tells PEOPLE in 1994. "For all the time I saw him, I could've been on tour with Tom Jones."
- 1993
Tuesday Night Special
Crow releases the stripped-down, lyric-driven Tuesday Night Music Club. It eventually reaches No. 3 on the Billboard Albums chart on the strength of two Top 5 singles, "All I Wanna Do" and "Strong Enough." "I thought the album was going to die a slow death," she tells PEOPLE. "But it turned out differently."
- 1996
Sense of Self
With her self-titled second album, Crow's mix of folk, pop and rock wins over the masses and critics, but not retailer Wal-Mart. The chain refuses to sell Crow's album because the track "Love Is a Good Thing" features the lyrics: "Watch our children while they kill each other/With a gun they bought at Wal-Mart discount stores." It peaks at No. 6 on the Billboard albums chart and scores two Grammys for Best Rock Album and Best Female Rock Vocal Performance for the hit "If It Makes You Happy."
If Prada Makes You Happy
After crafting a casual, Birkenstock-favored, hippie image with her first album, Crow turns heads in a Vivienne Westwood skirt, Prada boots and straightened hair in the video for "If It Makes You Happy." "It was a very big departure. It would be like the Black Crowes' showing up in Versace," MTV's senior wardrobe stylist Jimmy Hanrahan tells Entertainment Weekly. "It's cool and I think she can pull it off, but I wonder whether she's comfortable in it."
- 1997
Ladies First
Fellow artist Sarah McLachlan launches the Lilith Fair festival featuring all-women musicians, which hits 35 cities in seven weeks. Crow only appears at two dates because she is headlining her own tour. "Music tends to represent what's going on with youth," Crow tells EW. "Now you have a lot of females who are stepping up to represent women in America, becoming role models for young girls."
- 1998
Around the Globe
Crow releases The Globe Sessions, her most personal album to date. "It feels like I'm standing there with no clothes on and I haven't worked out in a long time," she says to Billboard. "I'm really private about who I've had relationships with, and I don't talk about them in the press. I don't even really talk about them with the people around me."
- 1999
Killer Performance
Crow appears in The Minus Man, as the victim of a serial killer played by Owen Wilson. The costars hit it. Crow tells the Toronto Sun in 1999, "He's seen me play a lot. And he loves it. It's funny because he's only ever been to two rock concerts and one of them was mine."
- 2002
Hanging Ten on Her 40th
Crow celebrates her 40th birthday on the beach in Oahu, shooting the video for "Soak Up the Sun" from her upcoming album C'mon, C'mon. The cast and crew, who include surf pros Malia Jones and Pake, give the singer a custom-made board as a present. "Not only did she manage to stand up, she rode a wave in," director Wayne Isham tells In Style.

Saturday Shout: PMA 2006 - Hit or Miss?
Latest Camera Reviews
This week's Saturday Shout looks back at the Photo Marketing Association (PMA) show in Orlando, Florida. A huge number of new photography products were announced, including more than 90 digital cameras, but did anything get you hot under the collar and give you sweaty hands, or are you already looking forward to Photokina in the autumn? Shout out now…
Your Comments
8 Comments | Newest Oldest First | Post a Comment
New Point and Shoot announcements I didn't hear.
Dynamic Range: I want a camera that can capture a significantly greater range of light and dark in the same image. Every landscape photographer should want this. So should most other photographers. This doesn't seem to be on the map as far as most camera companies are concerned. And yet everybody takes photos with shadows that are too dark and blown out highlights. There should be claims and counterclaims, as well as inflated statistics like interpolated megapixels. But nothing much is happening here.
Wide angle: Nikon and Olympus are retiring their wide angle point and shoot cameras. Canon is continuing theirs, although RAW was dropped in the most recent update. Fuji has a model with RAW. Panasonic is the only company I know of that introduced a new wide angle P&S model. Sad.
Sensitivity to light: No change here. There seems to be an agreement that ƒ2.7 or 2.8 at ASA 100 or 200 is good enough. It's not. I'll admit that optical image stabilization is a work-around for the problem, and a useful one.
RAW mode: This is disappearing on point and shoot cameras. Note that the cost of adding RAW to a P&S camera is usually negligible to nonexistent.
IS is one area where things are improving. And I'll admit having a few extra megapixels is an improvement as well. While I'm admitting things I think that most P&S cameras are fairly good for most casual photographers. Complaints about blurry photos are what I hear most from casual photographers I know. And IS helps with that.
I've become spoiled by the dSLR, but yearn for a smaller camera. I keep hoping for a small point and shoot styled camera with faster, more creative, flexible performance.
I think the Panasonic DMC-LX1 and Ricoh GR Digital are interesting and a step in the right direction, but have not improved enough in the way of larger sensor, reduced image noise, processing speed, RAW options and shutter lag speeds to make me spend the money.
There didn't seem to be any introductions along these lines. The Panasonic DMC-L1 looks very interesting. Now if they make a fast lens in the 25-35mm equivalent range, we might have something.
By far the most stunning and far reaching announcement affecting all future facets of photograph is the Texas Instrument announcement.
I hope Mark will post a comprehensive report on it.
The prosumers are dying. The companies are replacing them by much more profitable devices - DSLRs.
Shame on Canon who dropped RAW in their S80. RAW costs nothing to a company, because it exists in any camera by design.
Panasonic L-1 will be some kind of "exclusive toy", as the announced price of the kit with Leica lens will be about 3100$. Note the maximum acceptable ISO of 400 or 800 (in light areas).
I agree that dynamic range would be nice; however, fuji appears to have given up on that to provide high-iso functionality.
I think that Fuji did the right thing in this regard; their high-iso noise is head-and-shoulders better than the competition, while their high-dr performance was just marginally better. They seem to be the only ones innovating in the sensor dept. these days.
I'm curious to see how sony's 45 degree offset CCD (like fuji has had for a while!) will perform.
As for dynamic range, I think some dSLRs have sensors with amplifiers for each photo-cell -- but of course I forget which one. Since ISO is basically just controlling the amplification (I'm sure the details are more complex, but work with me here) we should in theory be able to apply differnt ISO values to different parts of the image and thereby acheive much better shadow noise. That's my prediction for the next few years to come.
The stupid MP race is driving me crazy... Noise is high, and not many of the casual photographers understand even CROPPING, so they don't really need it. I have D-SLR, and non "D" SLR :) but I feel the need of a compact camera with 1/1.8" CCD with maximum 4MP, relatively noiseless images,3-4x zoom preferably from 28mm, for everyday use.
I haven't seen anything like this even remotely.
Upping the entry level DSLR resolution to 10MP is fine, but then you have to spend more on optics with enough resolution for them, but at least they have the potential.
I agree with Johan and the others about that we need more dynamic range, I even prefer it instead of more MPs. If you ever shot on a bright day with strong shadows (like mountains, not dare to mention weddings) you know what I'm talking about.
George, the only camera that even comes close to what you want is
Nikon's Coolpix P2. It has the 1/1.8" CCD and 3.5x zoom you wanted
in the size you wanted, but has 5 megapixels, which is slightly higher
than you wanted, and a 35mm wide end lens, which is slightly longer
than you wanted.
Be careful though, as I have an unfounded suspicion the P2 uses the
same 8 megapixel CCD as the P1, but with its 8 megapixel resolution
setting disabled, which if true, would defeat the purpose.
Hi Gary!
Thanks for the answer, I will check it out. (BTW: I already mentioned your "Wife Camera" article to my best friend a few weeks before :) )
I forgot to mention, but I like to have an optical viewfinder too. In the light of today's cameras maybe it is a bit farfetched.
Looking at the LCD all the time is not what I like to do. Even my wife like to use the optical one on her little HP R707 (which have an 1/1.8 CCD, and nothing really wrong with it except it hers :) It is a bit slow, but quality is acceptable, little on the noisy side. Our old HP 720 had only 3MP but the clarity if the pics stand up even today's standard, and the only problem of it was the slowness (It is still working in the family)
Okay, enough of the anecdotes for today :)
Probably the most interesting news of the show (for me) was the Pentax medium format digital, but I - sadly - know I will not able to afford it even without necessary optics. As every new medium camera use 16 bit/channel that will have a tremendous impact on dynamic range, that none of the current Aps-C DSLR can dream of... Canon evangelize the full frame, but CMOS real estate only isn't the holy grail, as it more distorsion sensitive, than film was (due to the filters and such, I think you know it)
As I already have a small investment in DSLR I will wait 'till they found a way to put real 16bit/c into it (Fuji solutions are awkward, and overpriced a bit, but they tried at least to do something)

SHENANDOAH JUNCTION - Although she doesn't yet know which football teams will be playing, Annie Kate Turner is already excited about heading south for the Discover Orange Bowl.
That's because Turner, a Jefferson High School sophomore, has been selected to represent West Virginia as a member of the 2014 All Star Invitational Marching Band.
Thanks to this selection, Turner - who started playing the flute in third grade - will be "united with performers from around the country, offering them the opportunity to showcase their skills at a national marching event," according to the press release announcing that she'd been chosen.

Annie Kate Turner, a Jefferson High School sophomore, will be going to the Discover Orange Bowl in January to represent West Virginia as a member of the 2014 All Star Invitational Marching Band. She began playing the flute in third grade and has continued to excel musically as a member of the high school's marching and symphonic bands.
She auditioned and was accepted after a review by the selection review board.
"Acceptance to the elite group is a direct result of the talent, dedication and achievements demonstrated in her application and audition videos. Annie Kate will now join other performers from the United States for two performances at one of the biggest games in college football," the release reads.
Still excited about her upcoming trip to Florida, Turner said her selection isn't yet real.
But she does know a little about what to expect, because her brother James was previously selected for this honor.
"It was just amazing when you saw how much he got to do and the people he got to meet, like the Miami Sound Machine, which was part of the halftime show," Turner said.
Turner said she was contacted about the honor by email, but even written confirmation was hard to believe.
"I honestly didn't know what to think. There are so many hugely talented musicians in the country, it was nice to be considered to be in this group, but downright shocking to be selected as one of them," she said.
Selected band members will be together for six days to practice and prepare for their two bowl performances,
Part of the week's training will also include working with several of the country's best known marching band directors from schools such as the University of Notre Dame.
Bowl officials estimate that band members will be performing in front of nearly 75,000 fans.
She'll go Dec. 30 and return Jan 4, 2014 - the day after the bowl game.
J.P. Lynch, director of JHS bands, said he was confident about nominating Turner.
"Not only is Annie Kate very talented, she also come from a family that has other musical talent, so this is a natural for her," Lynch said.
Being selected as a sophomore is an honor, since most recipients are seniors, he said.
Lynch said Turner is a member of both the JHS 150-member marching band and its symphonic band, which is an advanced group that she joined as a freshman.
"I like to try to find ways to reward my students and also fine opportunities for students who are really excelling here. And Annie Kate certainly deserves this; it is a much deserved honor for her," Lynch said.
"We just can't wait to see her represent us at the Orange Bowl," he said.
