¿Es Quintonil el mejor restaurante de la ciudad?
Septiembre 2016
Los Danzantes
Plaza Jardin Centenario 12
Colonia Villa Coyoacán
Tel: 5554 1213 / 5554 2896
An iconic cantina, Los Danzantes has become a favourite amongst Mexicans looking to have lunch with family or amongst friends. Cantinas are usually perfect for this because aside from being great places to eat, they are also fantastic for drinking. So as the meal comes to an end, the drinking begins, and it doesn't really stop. If you do come for a spot of liquor, make sure you try some of the wide-ranging mescals they have on offer here.
Quesadillas at the market
Higuera, corner of Caballo Calco
A hole in the wall but right in the heart of Coyoacán, the quesadillas here are like nothing you will find elsewhere in the city. For a start, they are fried. They also have a variety of ingredients you won't easily find elsewhere, and they aren't at all expensive. There are a number of stands that operate out of here, and they are all good but have a go at all of them and see if there is one that takes your fancy more than another. On weekends too, you will also find pozole, which is a soup with pre-Hispanic origins made with corn and usually accompanied with shredded meat.
Jardin del Pulpo
Mercado 89 Coyoacán between Malintzin and Allende
Tel: 5339 5708
A classic family venue, the seafood served here is some of the freshest and plentiful around. The tostadas are big enough for two people while the main courses are huge and should not be eaten alone. Service is swift and friendly and the seating is all outdoor. Make sure you try a ceviche or a coctel de camaron (shrimp marinated in tomato, onions and herbs), and the tostadas, of course.
El Tajín
Miguel Angel de Quevedo 687
Tel: 5659 5759 / 5659 4447
Part of the slow food movement, El Tajin aims to showcase Mexican food with inflections of pre-Hispanic influence. The place is very elegant, and you're likely to encounter businessmen having lunch there but it is also child friendly, with massive grounds in which they can play. Dishes that stand out are the rolled chicken breast with hoja santa and smothered in mole as well as the mixed starter, which includes a variety of Mexican finger foods.
Tamales Especiales
Centenario 180, between Berlin and Viena
Tel: 5554 5996
By phone only and really only worth it for serious foodies, the tamales here are special not only because they also subscribe to the slow food movement but also because the tamales are all home made to perfection. If your quest is for an outstanding tamal, you're likely to find it here but as mentioned, call beforehand.
Merendero Las Lupitas
Plaza Santa Catarina 4, corner with Francisco Sosa
5554 3353 / 5554 1345
If your curious about how different Mexican food is from one part of the country to another, this small, very unpretentious restaurant serves good old-fashioned Mexican cuisine from the north of the country with a menu that changes depending on time of day. You'll notice how the tortillas are usually made with wheat instead of corn as well as the focus on dried meat, like machaca, in many of their dishes. For breakfast they have the classic machaca, served with eggs and wheat tortillas. For lunch and dinner, they have gorditas made with wheat on a griddle and stuffed with meat or tamales, if you do want something less northern. Highly recommended are also the burritos, and the enchiladas; the latter made with corn.

Parents protest education cuts in Sacramento
SACRAMENTO- About 80 parents, teachers and administrators from across Orange County voiced their displeasure with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's proposed $4 billion cut to K-12 public education during a PTA-sponsored trip Tuesday to the state Capitol.
Members of the Fourth District PTA, the branch of the statewide PTA that represents all of Orange County, spent about eight hours inside a hotel conference room in downtown Sacramento listening to detailed presentations from leading policy experts and state legislators about how California's fiscal crisis could impact education.
The two-day trip continues today, when the delegation is scheduled to meet with representatives for about 15 state senators and assembly members inside the Capitol building.
"We will tell them how we feel and really personalize how a budget cut would feel to our children and our school staff," Fourth District PTA President Patty Christiansen said from Sacramento. "The budget shortfall is going to be the main focus."
In Orange County schools, the governor's proposed budget cuts would mean the loss of an estimated $200 million in state funding and lead to nearly 2,000 teacher layoffs and terminations.
In Sacramento today, the PTA group also will advocate for about 70 proposed laws related to children and education, including bills that would provide funding for driver's education courses in high school, reexamine education programs targeting obesity and Type 2 diabetes in children, and offer a smoother transition for children of military families who repeatedly change schools.
Fourth District PTA officials reported Tuesday that the budget outlook in Sacramento was grim and that the state budget crisis could worsen in the coming months. But they also said budget analysts were looking at ways to provide more funding - not less - to public schools this fall.
"It's not enough to just have parents worried about this," said Celia Jaffe, the Fourth District PTA's vice president for advocacy. "It's got to be the rest of the voting public - besides parents who have kids in schools - who let the government know what our values are."

So, i hate taking the time to work out, i'd rather read, or something else, it just generally seems boring to do for any extended period of time. That being said i still want to be strong and lose weight etc.
I am trying now to get a little exercise in the workplace, here is what i've come up with thus far, let me know if you have any additional exercises that one can do in an office environment (without upsetting the workplace)
1. Bathroom workouts!!!
I've now started, every time i go to the bathroom i do 10 incline push-ups (against the handy-capt rail, or the sink) Obviously you can do more or less depending on your fitness level, and this might not even be a workout for anyone but im still fat and i can still feel my arms when i do 10 or so.
Squats! After your quick 10 push-ups do 10 or so squats, it doesn't take long, just do enough to where you can feel it, 10, 20 or w/e
2. Cubicle workouts!!
While sitting in the chair (with wheels) put your feet on the ground and move yourself back and forth, side to side, using only your abdomen and legs. It doesn't have to be far, but moving yourself around like this for a while will put a burn in your legs and your stomach (it does for me anyway)
3. Walking / Standing workouts
When standing talking to someone, or anywhere in the office, try doing it on one leg, its good for balance, and makes you're muscles work a little more. Go back and forth until you've got to start moving again
While standing, do a slight bend in the knees and hold a squat, if you're slick you can get away with this without looking weird, holding a bent knee squatting position for long enough will get your legs-a-burning
While walking, try some discrete lunge type movements, not ideal for a busy hallway but while relatively alone, it works out well.
Doing all of these things, over a 8-10 hour work day will actually give you a relatively good working (or it does for me anyway, people that can already to handstand push-ups and flag poles might not get as much out of it)
thoughts? recommendations? am i insane?

I love bathroom workouts! Best money I've ever made.
"In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they couldn't be more different."
"You can have anything you want, but you can't have everything you want."
My blog: http://www.AlKavadlo.com
I've started doing a few pushups whenever I have the office to myself. I have jittery feet too (bored from sitting too long) so I happily bounce my legs as quietly as possible throughout the day. At the very least it's important to get up and stretch now and then. Any excuse to get up - more coffee/water, picking up printouts, etc. Always offer to help carry things, too.
I've done pushups in my office (I tried a 500 pushup/day program where I performed some pushups every 30 minutes or so throughout the day); isometrics, and some self resistence type exercises from the old Charles Atlas course (which actually has some really good applications in a supplementary way).
Good for you! This sounds great. Don't you all find that it gives your energy a boost?
I work at a university and there are lots of fun places to walk: hills, gardens, 96 step outdoor staircase, etc.
Nice workouts, but I am a bit chicken to do oddball things in the office. Luckily, we have a little "cardio room" that stays unoccupied long enough at certain hours to go crank out some pushups, planks, etc. Anything from PB Fitness, except the pullups (I have asked HR if they might consider putting in a pullup bar but we'll see where that gets me).
I do workout, but I also like to get the blood pumping while I'm working. I've got the standing work station (read, two boxes on my desk with a blanket that I have my keyboard, monitor, and mousepad sitting on). I try to do the occasional squats, stretch frequently, and stuff while I'm standing at my desk. When I have to make copies, I jog in place while the machine is running if no one else is waiting.
My sink in the bathroom isn't sturdy so I can't do the incline pushups, but if it was, I would definitely do them and do some dips as well. I do dips on my desk sometimes, but it's a bit harder to explain if someone walks by my office (not that they don't already think I'm weird anyway with my boxes and vibrams).
On the rare occasion when I'm sitting down, I'll do some mini-crunches by lifting my legs up and lowering my stomach, holding myself up with my arms. I also frequently twist and turn my back and bend in various ways, especially when I realize I've just been standing forward for a while.
It really is hard to get a good workout going without looking odd, but good for you for trying to get some exercise!
Try biking to work if you can. I do it a few days per week for all but the coldest and darkest 4 months of the year when I only do it maybe once a week. But you live in Florida so you don't have that excuse.
It is a good way to get in your movement at low intensity and if you want once a week you can do some iintense sprints if you want. Of course it requires a certain level of facilities and organization that does not exist at every work place.
Check out this guy's article here on exercise at work:

Yes, we happily work with groups and referrals. Your group will have a special link (example: www.Baci-Farfalle.com/yourgroup) and when they click on it, it will automatically let them know you are saving them money, according to what you have setup with us, as well as track that the order originated from you so that you can earn free corset sets!
Some groups we work with are moms groups, social groups, spa party gals, large cosmetic doctors office, a Mary Kay team, singles group, ladies networking group, plus size empowerment groups, dance and jazz troupes, Hooters teams, and many more. Simply e-mail us from the contact page letting us know what you are looking for and we will get you all situated.
Please understand that in most cases you only have 24 business hours to cancel your order! Once we have processed your order it is shipped from here in the USA to you, or is shipped from the UK.
Either way, once it has been ordered and shipped - we can not cancel the order. There is no way for us to stop a shipment mid way to send it back! We will try everything we can, but again if it has shipped there is usually little we can do, we do however happily do free exchanges on size, color, or style!
Due to State and Federal Regulations and the intimate or one time wear nature of our apparel items, we have very strict guidelines. It is against health codes to accept returns on panty items, even if you wear an undergarment while trying them on. We apologize, but you wouldn't want to wear an undergarment worn and returned, would you :)
On the corsets we will do an EXCHANGE ONLY - these are one time wear items, costume items, formal wear, photo shoot type of items that are 90% of the time worn only once, so please understand that we will do exchanges to help you find the perfect fit, style, or size, but do NOT offer refunds on corsets!
We will gladly make an exchange but need it returned to us exactly as we sent it, no wear marks, no perfume smell, smoke smell, etc. It must be sent back to us within 7 days. You must notify of us of intent to return within 2 days of when you receive it. http://baci-farfalle.com/pages/returnslip.htm
TIP: Please utilize the sizing information given with the item to ensure the best fit. Measure yourself honestly, without "sucking it in" too much, to reduce grief later. Most of these items are meant to be skimpy and/or cling to your body. Body shapes vary, but being realistic about which items look best on you will end up making you happier. If your measurements fall on a "borderline" size, and you would feel uncomfortable with your cleavage or behind showing - it might be a good idea to order the next larger size.
Also, keep in mind the type of fabric. Stretch knits, stretch mesh and most fishnets will have a larger degree of stretch than the stretch Lycras, stretch satins and stretch velvets. Cottons, Denim, Satins, PVC Vinyl, Patent, and Leather will have little or no stretch. Stretch Lycras, velvets and mesh fabrics, tend to cling to the body and may reveal panty and bra lines, and those monthly bulges. Heavier weight Lycras and Velvets and darker colored fabrics, may be more forgiving than lightweight or light colored fabrics.
We love helping you & so please just ask about sizing info!! Also - not sure what looks best on your body type? Looking for some tips on how to expose what you want & conceal what you don't? Just ask & we can help you :)
In some cases your coupon may not work because there is a minimum order that is associated with it, it is expired, or the coupon code was entered wrong by the coupon site user, etc.
I am thankful for our many customers who post the coupons for others to see online, but sometimes they do not think to put the minimum order amount, or they get the total savings offer wrong, or don't put the expiration date. If you are unsure, please feel free to e-mail us, and if it it is a technical mistake we will get you situated right away!
Need a coupon? Send me an e-mail and I will send you a special coupon!
For our items that we carry in house - Our shipping time, as of November 2012, is in 48hrs of your order being made, if in stock, MONDAY-THURSDAY.
For our specialty items, custom corsets, handmade corsets, and made to order sizes - there is an additional 7-14 work day arrival time. This is still just an estimate though, as our specialty UK items do have to come through customs, so sometimes there are delays.
2 day express shipping options are available for in stock items at checkout.
One note about corsets (our most popular item!), is that the waist size is the most important size. Do not underestimate on the measurements, as in almost all cases as long as the waist size is correct, then the rest of the corset fits perfectly!
Please utilize the sizing information given with the item to ensure the best fit. Measure yourself honestly, without "sucking it in" too much, to reduce grief later. Most of these items are meant to be skimpy and/or cling to your body. Body shapes vary, but being realistic about which items look best on you will end up making you happier. If your measurements fall on a "borderline" size, and you would feel uncomfortable with your cleavage or behind showing - it might be a good idea to order the next larger size.
TIPS: FOR BEST FIT take off 2 inches (from your measured natural waist) unless you are a "firm apple" shape.... If you are wanting the BEST TUMMY COVERAGE go with a Longer Corset... If you are worried about AMPLE CHEST ROOM for wearing out and keeping the girls lifted and voluptuous go for a Longer Corset (they have sweetheart busts).... if you are WANTING THE FIRMEST HOLD FOR A REDUCED WAIST, go for a Tapestry or Steel Busk Long Line Corset... If you are WANTING A SMALL CHEST TO LOOK LARGER, go for a corset with cups.....If you are worried about LOOKING GOOD IN A TUTU you can wear tights or leggings with lace shorts or booty shorts over, then the tutu over that, so you can rock any look and feel confident!
Example of long line, steel busk, sweetheart bust, corset

BROOKSVILLE — Hernando County's 2012-13 budget picture continues to become more bleak, and on Tuesday county commissioners said they would consider dipping into the county's judicial center fund to cover the latest hit.
County budget manager George Zoettlein told commissioners that, in crunching year-end revenue numbers, he discovered that the county is $2 million further in the hole than he believed during last week's budget discussion.
At that meeting, commissioners worked out a plan to divide the then-$2.3 million shortfall proportionately among commission-controlled departments, the sheriff, the supervisor of elections and the clerk of circuit court.
The latest shortfall is due to lower-than-normal property tax collections, Zoettlein said.
The commission has already set the county's property tax rate, so it would be difficult to adjust the rate for next year's budget, which must be approved in September.
Commission Chairman Wayne Dukes reminded commissioners that there is still $7 million in county coffers that was set aside for construction of a judicial center.
Dukes noted that he had met recently with Chief Judge Daniel Merritt Sr. and County Administrator Len Sossamon to discuss courtroom space needs. He said Merritt noted that there is $5 million of additional money available for any court expansion project, and Dukes said he wasn't sure all of the money in the county's fund was needed.
"I told the judge we were in a hard spot,'' Dukes said, "and he understood that."
Dukes asked that the issue be put on next week's County Commission agenda for further discussion.
"That sounds like a good topic for discussion. It's probably a tenable idea,'' said Commissioner Dave Russell.
But Commissioner John Druzbick voiced some concern about using the reserve. He questioned Zoettlein about other financial unknowns, such as whether the county will be on the hook for paying employee retirement money that is tied up in litigation before the state Supreme Court.
Commissioners had also talked about dipping into the judicial reserve to pay for disputed Medicaid payments to the state. The county recently got some good news on that front. While original estimates of what the county owed were $3 million or more, the most recent information puts the total at about $1.5 million.
One other question is what Sheriff Al Nienhuis plans to do to cut $1.3 million from his budget, as commissioners requested.
Bill Kicklighter, chief administrative officer at the Sheriff's Office, attended Tuesday's workshop, but did not ask to speak, and commissioners did not call him to the lectern.
In an interview with the Times on Friday, Nienhuis said it's still too early in the budget process to start specifying how he will accommodate the loss.
The sheriff is pinning at least some hope on the expectation that his agency will have some surplus funds to work with as the current budget year draws to a close.
"We just need to get a little closer to the end of the year before we have to definitively make tough decisions," Nienhuis said.
At last week's budget discussion, however, the sheriff warned that he would have to cut a couple dozen "front line" people, maybe more.
Nienhuis said Friday there has been no talk of pay cuts at the Sheriff's Office, and he called salary reductions a "highly unlikely" strategy.
Sheriff's Office employees haven't received a raise in four years and have had to begin contributing toward their pension funds, he noted. Cutting pay would likely result in deputies leaving for other agencies, he said, and replacing deputies is costly.
"Unless something drastically changes for the worse," Nienhuis said, "I wouldn't consider taking more away from them."

Possibly, though, that untarnished perspective gives them a clearer view of relationships.
It certainly seems to be the case in today's Lunchtime Laugh, which features youngsters' responses to questions about love and marriage.
If you listen to these kids, aged 6 to 10, kissing someone means you have to marry them, and the best age at which to get hitched is 23.
However, one little girl says men are more likely to enjoy marriage than women.
"It's better for girls to be single but not for boys," says Anita, age 9. "Boys need someone to clean up after them."
But once you do get married, her peer, Ricky, says, try hard to make one another happy.
"Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck," he says.

YOUNGSTOWN - President Barack Obama is "concerned" about the pension plight of Delphi Corp. salaried retirees, former Youngstown mayor and now the nation's "auto czar" Jay Williams said Friday after meeting with two of the retirees about cuts in their pensions.
"I'm here because I was dispatched by the administration because there is concern," Williams said after a two-hour meeting at the George Voinovich Building in downtown Youngstown.
Williams said his mission for the meeting was to listen to the retirees' efforts to recoup reductions of as much as 30 percent to 70 percent after federal pension insurer Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. terminated their pension plan in July 2009 during auto parts maker Delphi's bankruptcy reorganization.

Interviews with Bruce Gump and Jay Williams about Delphi pension fund
Since being named in July to the post of executive director of the Labor Department's Office of Recovery for Auto Communities and Workers, Williams said he meets with President Obama "as often as appropriate. I'm representing the president of the United States and the secretary of labor. I will go back and talk to the appropriate parties."
The administration is focusing on issues in the Mahoning Valley beyond the salaried retirees, Williams said.
He noted federal resources could be used to help sharpen workers' skills to boost employment as well as encourage the return of manufacturing jobs sent overseas, along with technology growth.
"We should, and will, create the environment for private investment," he said.
Niles resident Bruce Gump, vice chairman of the Delphi Salaried Retirees Association, said he and Mary Ann Hudzik of Warren left the meeting with the feeling they made their case to Williams.
"We didn't expect any decision. What I expected was to be able to get our information to him, which we did," he said. "It was a very productive meeting. There could be some action from that."
Gump said the fact the meeting occurred in the year Obama will seek reelection doesn't hurt. He stressed the retirees association isn't a political group but added, "I do think the issue is public enough that it would be advantageous to have it resolved quickly."
Retirees also are suing the PBGC in federal court to force the agency to release documents they believe will show that government officials improperly influenced Delphi's bankruptcy reorganization to reward unions that supported Obama's 2008 run for office.
Gump said lawyers are in the discovery phase, or getting documents from the agency. The case will go to trial once the phase ends this spring, he said.
The effort is costing millions of dollars, he added.
"Thousands of retirees from all over the country send in $10, $15, $20, but the PBGC, as part of the government, has deep pockets. We've always been after fair treatment," he said.
U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Niles, and U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, applauded the meeting.
"The treatment of these former Delphi employees was unjust when it was proposed, and it continues to be unjust today," according to Ryan's statement. "I know executive director Williams will take the concerns of these Delphi retirees back to Washington and continue to work toward a resolution that fairly restores some of the promises Delphi made to its workforce in better times."
Brown said many of the retirees are "continuing to experience economic hardship following the collapse of their former employer. I encourage Jay to do whatever possible to assist these retirees, who have yet to receive the pensions they earned and deserve."

We thought the Cardinals would just kind of out-talent other teams in 2014.
Turns out the new plan is just to get everyone so much scoring in Spring Training that they just are tired of it before the regular season starts.
Dude is MANAGING!
On Sunday, the Nationals touched up Joe Kelly for 5 earned runs and Seth Maness for another 3 before surrendering 11-1.
Wasn't good enough. 11 runs ain't going to accomplish the goal.
So Monday, the boys in red re-doubled their efforts and yielded a whopping 17 runs to the Tigers. That's the spirit Tyler Lyons (7ER), Lee Stoppelman (5ER) and Shelby Miller (2ER) – you guys got the skip's message loud and clear!
Tuesday, though? Well it didn't go so well. Not only could they not get to double digits, only giving up 9 runs to the Mets, but Wainwright totally flopped and only let 1 in through 3.1 innings. Tim Cooney, though? Good looking youngster. 5ER in less than 1 inning of work? Nice.
If you're counting at home, that's 37 runs in 3 days. Or an average of 12.3 runs/game.
YES… it's Spring Training. Well aware.
In the big picture this is pretty meaningless. You know, until it actually bleeds into the regular season and it isn't.
For his part, Mike Matheny isn't happy with the Cardinals play this spring.
You know, unless that's a cover-up for his master plan. Dang that guy is GOOD.

Telltale Games has been busy branchingout into famous licenses recently. Their most recent is Law &Order Legacies, which keeps players into the shoes of the famousshows cops and lawyers. Like usual for Telltale games, Legacies isan episodic release.
The episode opens with the murder of aamah at a five-star hotel in New York City. Cops Benson and Curtisinvestigate this murder-most-foul via a series of interviews onwitnesses and suspects. There is a brief foray into hidden objectdetecting like considerable, but the bulk of this segment of the gameis only Q&A scenarios broken up by non-interactive sequences ofdialogue.
Interviews are simple to perform. Onlypick a topic from the list, and pay care to the answer. Sureresponses plus novel conversation topics, and there is always a redherring topic thrown in for fun. Where the actual game play aspectarrives in is when you are asked to find if the defendant is tellingthe truth. If you answer right, the game will then ask why. Choosethe correct answer and you will earn a star.
Answering so many questions wrong justresumes the interview segment, and these conversations are basicallycompletely linear. Earning full stars for an interview just earnsmore points, but does not actually affect the outcome. Worse, apartfrom a extreme brief hidden-object puzzle where you check the crimeview, there is no other type of minigame.
The court room drama is a bit moresuperimposed, while however it is mired down in the choose yourown adventure style. Here, players bring the role of theprosecution to prove the suspect guilty. This involves examinationand cross-examination of witnesses, which is managed in the samefashion like interviewing. The differences crop up with objections.
As the defense lawyer questions aperson, you can object at sure points. To object, still, you have tochoose the type of objection, and then select the correct reason forthe objection. It is an interesting element that adds a welcome bitof law trivia.
Dissimilar the cop segment, theultimate goal of the courtroom sequence is to sway the jury byearning more points than the defense. There is a score bar thatallows you simply put track of how the jury is leaning. Correctlyobjecting and asking the right questions earns points, while theopposite can really cause you to lose the case.
At a sure point, the defense will tryto plea bargain. Your jury score finds how much leeway you have fornegotiations or if you can refuse their plea outright and bring thecase everything the way. Thus, though the courtroom segment howeverlooks mostly linear, there is at least the alternative for multipleresults.
Law & Order Legacies will certainlyappeal to fans of the series. Contempt the lack of the showsactors to supply the voices, the dialogue is considerably written andperformed. The nearly comic-book style graphics are easy, but worknicely, and the game is simple to play. There are seven episodesbecause of released in the next few months, and the stories focus onreal-world-inspired cases on concerning twists only as the show.

Sunday, September 10, 2000
By SCHUYLER KROPF
Of The Post and Courier staff
Plans to open the Hunley conservation lab for public
viewing are up in the air, faced with a slew of legal and safety hurdles.
Officials still are shooting for a Sept. 23 opening,
followed by viewings every Saturday up to November.
But there are nagging concerns about security, letting
children near the sub's holding tank and whether access has to meet the
Americans with Disabilities Act.
Right now that might be a hard reach: To get to the
sub, visitors must climb a 10-foot rise of stairs at the Warren Lasch
Conservation Lab in North Charleston, then walk across a metal mezzanine and
sometimes narrow catwalk.
Computer equipment, pipes, hoses, other foot traps and
equipment are everywhere.
"We never really looked at this as an exhibit
area," Hunley project manager Dr. Bob Neyland said.
State Sen. Glenn McConnell, R-Charleston, chairman of
the state Hunley Commission, said Friday he's turned over all the contractual,
legal and insurance questions to Attorney General Charlie Condon's office for
He won't be able to make a final decision on going
ahead with the public viewing until those questions are answered.
"What we are struggling with ... is how can we
accomplish (the viewing) and not expose people to unrealistic danger, or the
state of South Carolina to unreasonable liability, or the commission to personal
liability," McConnell said.
He added that the only way viewing should be done is
for the public to be able to get close to the sub. Otherwise, the experience
might be a hollow one.
"The Hunley will silently talk to you, if you are
that close," McConnell said.
Hundreds, possibly thousands, of people are expected to
line up for a glimpse of the sub. McConnell estimated that as many as 30 people
could be moved through the tour every 20 minutes, raising more than $10,000 a
day on ticket sales or donations.
On the safety issue, McConnell said one option is to
have visitors sign a waiver acknowledging the risks of touring through a working
industrial laboratory.
Regarding security, McConnell said metal detectors and
State Law Enforcement Division agents will be on hand during viewing to make
sure no one attempts to approach the sub improperly.
The Hunley is being kept in a cold-water storage tank
inside a converted warehouse at the old Charleston Naval Shipyard. The tank,
about the size of a railroad car, is 10 feet high.
Officials estimate it could take years to restore the
sub, and that they can't begin the initial phase of entering the sealed vessel
until the public viewing time is concluded.

When it was announced that Staunton River would leave the Seminole District for the Blue Ridge, the move was seen as a mixed bag.
Liberty swept its County rivals in a three-team meet last Wednesday.
It was a simple enough request: "Can't we go to a hockey game?"
Since the request came from the wife, I took it seriously, as I always do.
Cold air from Canada and moisture from the Gulf of Mexico teamed up to give the Bedford area about a foot of snow over the weekend. It was the second major snowstorm this winter.
And more might be on the way.
According to Robert Stonefield, of the National Weather Service's Blacksburg office, Forest got the heaviest Bedford area snowfall with 14 inches. Accumulations ranged from between 10 inches and a foot across most of Bedford County.
Bedford County's planning commission gave a thumbs down to a controversial proposal for a private water and sewer system in the Goodview area, Monday night.
The special use permit originally came before the planning commission at its Jan. 4 meeting.
A Big Island man will spend 18 years in prison after pleading guilty last month to three counts of sexually assaulting a teenage girl.
Bobby Allen Markham, 54, pleaded guilty Jan. 19 and received a 40 year sentence, with 22 years suspended, on three counts of animate object penetration involving a girl, between 14 and 15 years of age at the time the assaults occurred. Markham, after originally being found not competent to stand trial on the charges, was later restored to competency, according to Chief Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Wes Nance.
Last month's revelation that the Bedford County School Board is considering any and all options for saving money — including closing smaller schools — caught the attention of the public and last week several representatives from schools that were mentioned turned out at Thursday's budget work session.
A few days after a fire, last September, collapsed Olde Liberty Station's roof into its dining room, Harry Leist, the owner, predicted he would reopen in February, hopefully early in the month.
His prediction is coming true. Olde Liberty will reopen with a ribbon cutting at 10 a.m. on Feb. 8. Sadie Tharp, Bedford Mayor Skip Tharp's mother, will cut the ribbon.
This makes sense.
We're facing record deficits; we're in the middle of two wars; there's double-digit unemployment; and there's that whole health care debate. So now comes word the Obama administration and a long-standing Republican senator are considering several steps that would review the legality of the current college football Bowl Championship Series.
So that certainly seems like a logical place for the President and Congress to spend time trying to bring about change. Then again, maybe not.
Schools vs. The Lottery
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the Lottery system supposed to help our schools?
I walk into convenience stores and a big banner is displayed on the wall, "Virginia Lottery contributed (X amount of dollars) to the school system!" But, then I read "Bedford County Schools expect to lose $5.3 million from budget." Something doesn't add up.

Ibycus left Magna Graecia (southern Italy and Sicily) for the Aegean island of Samos, where the tyrant Polycrates became his patron. Ancient authorities found it hard to distinguish his early work from that of Stesichorus , but even because both poets composed choral lyrics devoted to mythical narratives. Even in the few surviving fragments of Ibycus' Ibycus's lyrics, however, there are signs of marked individuality. The most prominent longest fragment, from a papyrus discovered in Oxyrhynchus (now al-Bahnasā, Egypt) in the early 20th century, is an anonymous poem attributed by modern scholars to Ibycus. In it the poet lists deeds and personages of the Trojan War while declaring that he does not want to treat that story. He then compares the beauty of Cyanippus, Zeuxippus, and Troilus, heroes of the Trojan War, to that of the young Polycrates (who is probably the future tyrant of Samos or, less likely, the tyrant's son). Ibycus ends with the affirmation that, thanks to his poem, Polycrates' good looks will be eternally famous.
Ibycus's best-known fragments describe the charms of handsome youths and reveal the aging poet's narrator's fear of falling in love. Cicero regarded him as more The Roman orator and statesman Cicero characterized Ibycus as being devoted to love poetry to a greater extent than were Alcaeus and Anacreon. Some papyrus fragments, attributed to Ibycus by modern scholars, seem to preserve the earliest evidence of epinician poetry.
A late legend relates how that Ibycus called a flock of cranes passing overhead to witness as he was being murdered his murder by robbers near Corinth. One of the robbers later saw the cranes over Corinth and involuntarily sarcastically referred to them as the avengers of Ibycus, a remark that led to the unmasking of the murderers. (The legend plays on the resemblance between the poet's name and the Greek word for crane, ibyx.)

At a meeting of the NVO and CCP Boards in Ottawa on May 10, 2003, it was agreed unanimously that the two organizations will work together closely and cooperatively to create the new entity, with a Memorandum of Understanding to be executed by June 30, 2003. All current work of both existing organizations will continue without change during transition to the new entity.
This new organization is being created in recognition of the dramatic changes that have occurred in Canada's voluntary sector, especially during the past 6 years since the establishment of the Voluntary Sector Roundtable in 1997. These changes have created an extraordinary opportunity to build on the existing strengths of both organizations and other community partners so that the sector can more effectively play its vital role in Canadian society.
"By combining their resources and their voices, CCP and NVO will be better able to provide leadership in Canada's voluntary sector," according to CCP Board Chair Dale Godsoe. "By sharing leadership and reflecting national, regional and local perspectives, they can help the sector do much more in the future. The goal is to build the voluntary sector's capacity to serve Canadian communities with excellence." "The voluntary sector has experienced spectacular growth and change since NVO and CCP were established in 1974 and 1981," says NVO Board Chair Faye Porter. "They have served the sector well until now, but by working together their ability will be enhanced to give voice to, and advocate for social justice with, Canada's 180,000 voluntary sector organizations."
The new organization will be pan-Canadian in scope, and will share leadership with others in the sector. It will encompass national, regional, local and sub-sectoral perspectives. A critical role of this new entity will be to promote relationships within the voluntary sector, and with business and government. During the next year, the NVO-CCP collaboration will explore how to engage others from the voluntary sector in creating the new organization.
Throughout transition to the new entity, both CCP and NVO will continue their programs to provide value to members, coalitions and partners, the broader voluntary sector, and other stakeholders.
The new organization will be focused on building capacity across the voluntary sector and within voluntary sector organizations. Key functions that have, to date, been identified (but not prioritized) include:
Developing a cross-sector infrastructure (including building and supporting networks and coalitions)
Leading and strengthening the voluntary sector's voice on public policy (including giving voice to, and advocating with and for voluntary organizations)
Promoting public engagement in the community and the voluntary sector, and linking the voluntary sector with business and government
Creating and disseminating research about Canada's voluntary sector
Enhancing the accountability of voluntary sector organizations
Helping voluntary organizations to optimize their human resources
Enhancing the ability of voluntary organizations to increase and stabilize funding and in-kind resources, and
Creating and sharing learnings and resources within the sector.
The Boards have jointly agreed to create a steering committee that will oversee the transition to the new entity. The steering committee will constitute groups to lead the search for a CEO, to develop proposals for governance, and to oversee financial planning and fund development.
The Accord signed in December 2001 by the voluntary sector and the Government of Canada recognizes that "the voluntary sector is one of the three pillars of Canadian society" and that "the rich network of organizations, called the voluntary sector, helps make Canada the humane, caring and prosperous nation it is". This new collaboration between NVO and CCP aims to ensure that Canada's voluntary sector continues to grow in importance and strength, and is able to contribute fully towards the new entity's vision of "a Canada where, from neighbourhood to nation, dynamic, just and inclusive communities thrive".

During the past 5 years, 19 randomized controlled trials, 4 prospective nonrandomized studies, and 11 meta-analyses that explored the role of acetylcysteine for prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy have been published. Herein, we summarize this literature and demonstrate that these 34 empirical studies have not yet conclusively resolved this research question. We use the evidence on acetylcysteine as a case study of how research evidence accumulates and consider whether an alternative approach to investigating the question of acetylcysteine's efficacy could have resulted in a more definitive conclusion. We consider the broader lessons learned from this acetylcysteine case study for the medical and research communities and propose specific steps that could be taken to improve the future coordination of research activity to ultimately yield more meaningful and definitive evidence on important clinical questions.

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Five Thunder pitchers combined to hold New Hampshire to six hits as Trenton pulled out a 3-1 victory over the Fisher Cats in front of 6,101 at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium last night.
Preston Claiborne (2-2) earned the win while Ryan Flannery collected his fifth save.
The Thunder (21-18) got an RBI double from Cody Johnson in the first and fifth innings and an RBI single from Dan Brewer in the fourth.
Adam Miller pitched 4⅓ shutout innings in his first start in four years. Miller, in his first appearance since being sent from Triple-A Empire State, allowed four hits and struck out one before reaching his pitch count limit in the fifth.
Johnson's first RBI two-base hit came in the top of the first against New Hampshire starter Randy Boone (0-2), who allowed hits to three of the first four Trenton batters then left the game with an injury. Brewer increased the lead to 2-0 in the fourth with an RBI single off Danny Farquhar.
In the fifth inning, Corban Joseph singled with one out against Farquhar, his third hit of the game, and moved to second on a groundout by David Adams. Johnson then looped another double to the opposite field to score Joseph and make the score 3-0. Johnson has an eight-game hitting streak during which he has 11 RBIs.
Claiborne threw two scoreless relief innings in the seventh and eighth and was awarded the victory. Ryan Flannery pitched around a two-out single in the ninth to record his first save since May 3.
Kevin Mahoney went 0-for-4 and saw his consecutive on-base streak end at 25 games.
Site: Northeast Delta Dental Stadium.

A new eatery with a European flair has opened in North Evergreen.
Called the Overseas Café, the restaurant serves breakfast and lunch all day, and owners Dima and Luba Karpov hope the restaurant will become a favorite for Evergreen residents and tourists.
Located in the Hiwan Barn shopping center, it will serve Russian, Ukranian, German and Italian foods with a small bakery, smoothies, cappuccinos, sandwiches and paninis. It will also have a kids play room.
Summer is here, and Summerfest is upon us. This annual arts festival sponsored by the Center for the Arts Evergreen has become a fixture in many Coloradans' summer schedules. 2010 should be no different. However, this year's festival, on July 17 and 18, has many new and different features that set it apart.
Legal access to marijuana in Colorado seems to be a constantly moving target. As new medical marijuana laws go into effect in our state, a number of other things are coming together as well.
The Department of Veterans Affairs is considering a more flexible definition of post-traumatic stress disorder at virtually the same time as the state health department is being asked to add PTSD to the list of medical conditions for which medical marijuana could be prescribed. If both these things come to pass, it would liberalize access to medical marijuana for PTSD sufferers.
There are the scrapbook full of photos, the newspaper clippings and a tournament-winning trophy for his play in the 1975 U.S. Cup sitting in his office. All are reminders for Danny Alkayam from what seems like a lifetime ago.
The Evergreen Jazz Festival has become an institution, not only among the summer musical offerings in our mountain community, but in the national jazz community as well. People travel from all over the country to listen to the diverse lineup of traditional and contemporary jazz ensembles. With the event now in its ninth year, the 2010 Evergreen Jazz Festival should prove to be bigger and better than ever.
Tim Zeman, a Denver native, has been named publisher of Evergreen Newspapers.
Zeman, 46, is returning to Colorado after spending 17 years in Florida with Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers in Stuart, where he held numerous advertising sales and sales management positions. He earned an advertising and public relations degree from the University of Arkansas after leaving Colorado in 1989.
"I'm happy to be taking the helm of Evergreen Newspapers," Zeman said. "I'm looking forward to meeting the business owners and my new neighbors."
The creek in downtown Evergreen is about to be invaded by a flotilla of yellow rubber ducks. But worry not — it's all for a good cause.
The Evergreen Downtown Business Association is staging the first Dam Ducky Derby on Saturday, Aug. 7. The more ducks sold, the bigger the first prize.
The race starts at 1 p.m. at the bottom of the dam and ends at Highland Haven Creekside Inn. Fun activities will be taking place from noon to 4 p.m. in downtown Evergreen.
Chatfield's summer baseball team played its home game versus Wheat Ridge on July 16 at 10 a.m. Columbine and Evergreen started shortly before 11 a.m. two days later. And the Chargers were hoping to move up a scheduled 3 p.m. start with Arvada West on July 18.
LITTLETON — Down to their last out, it took the Evergreen Cougars three pitches to turn a sure defeat into an improbable victory July 18 at Columbine High School.
Twenty years ago, reaching an elderly age in Evergreen often meant heading for a nursing home. But the Seniors' Resource Center, commonly known as the Yellow House, has made it possible for hundreds of senior citizens to stay independent longer.
Under the leadership of longtime president and CEO John Zabawa of Evergreen, the SRC has become a "one-stop shop" for all kinds of senior services.

Amish food hearty and flavorful
Amish cooking isn't simple, exactly. Mostly, it's just unfussy.
In their new book "Amish Cooks Across America," Kevin Williams and Lovina Eicher look at Amish cooking and what makes it distinct.
Obviously, the food is made without benefit of electricity. But there is something more to it than that: Amish cooking is hearty, as it has to be to satisfy the caloric needs of hardworking people. And it is what we often think of as wholesome.
The food that wound up in the paintings of Norman Rockwell would not be out of place on an Amish table.
"What makes it Amish food is basics," said Williams. "They take what is very basic and available and can do amazing things with a small number of ingredients."
Even so, Amish cooking is not homogeneous. As Amish communities have scattered across America, they have picked up regional distinctions from the areas in which they live.
In the Northeast, their dishes are made with maple syrup and potatoes. In the South, though not many Amish communities have settled there, okra is king, and corn bread and pecan pies.
In the West, they serve huckleberries and some of the meats that are most readily available, such as elk and moose (a recipe for creamy moose steaks requires 2 pounds of moose steaks, salt and black pepper, 1 cup of water, one large onion, sliced, and one can of cream-of-mushroom soup).
The can of cream-of-mushroom soup stands out as exactly the sort of thing one does not typically associate with the Amish, but Williams said it and such ingredients as Velveeta cheese are making inroads in their cuisine.
"Amish cooking as a whole is changing. There's more processed food than there used to be; they're not as insular as they used to be," he said.
In the Midwest, which has the largest communities of Amish, the ingredient lists run toward apples, tomatoes and corn.
And apparently Mexican cuisine, or at least Tex-Mex, is making a sizable impact in Amish kitchens across the country.
The book is full of information about the people and their way of life.
But most of the book is given over to recipes popular in the various communities.
Many of these recipes are for baked goods -- pies, cookies, muffins. While vegetable dishes receive their share of attention, recipes for meat dishes are fairly scarce, aside from the odd moose-steak recipe or two.
One recipe for Easy Homemade Barbecue Sauce caught my attention. It's a tomato-based sauce -- actually a ketchup-based sauce -- enlivened with vinegar, brown sugar and regular sugar for a sweet-and-sour edge. Soy sauce, dry mustard, powdered ginger, chopped onions and other ingredients help to give it a pleasant, well-balanced set of flavors.
I put it on grilled chicken, just for the last few minutes of cooking so the sugars did not burn, and it was excellent. It would make just as good a topping on pork or beef brisket, but we won't tell anyone if you decide just to lick it straight off the spoon.
I next turned my attention to a recipe the book calls "Outrageous Chocolate-Chip Cookies." With a name like that, who could resist?
What makes these cookies so outrageous is that they combine the best attributes of three distinct kinds of cookies: chocolate chip, oatmeal and peanut butter.
Ordinarily, you don't see these three ingredients put together in the same cookie because of the fear it would taste too dry. But these outrageous cookies get their moisture from a melted pound of butter.
That's right: an entire pound of butter, melted.

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - Roman Quinn has had a lot thrown at him in his brief professional career, but the Phillies' second-round draft choice in 2011 is more than holding his own.
Not only has Quinn had to learn a new position, he also took up switch-hitting after signing with the Phillies. The 5-foot-10, 170-pounder, a centerfielder at Port St. Joseph High School (Fla.), is playing shortstop now. A natural righthanded batter, he has become a switch-hitter because the Phillies wanted to make use of his speed.
He began switch-hitting during the fall in the Instructional League and continued in extended spring training.

Gymnastics Competing at MAC Championships Saturday
Ball State's gymnastics team will compete at the Mid-American Conference Championships Saturday at 2 p.m. in Ypsilanti, Mich.
The Cardinals will be led by sophomore Denasiha Christian, who was selected to the All-MAC Second Team in a vote by the league's head coaches.
Christian has posted four first-place finishes on the vault and four on the floor for the Cardinals this season. She tied her career high on the vault with a 9.85 at Southeast Missouri State. Christian also tallied a 9.85 mark on the vault vs. Central Michigan last season and at the 2013 MAC Championships. She managed a season best 9.90 on the floor at Ohio State and tied the Ball State record on the floor with a 9.95 at the 2013 NCAA Regional.
Christian owns the team's top scores on the vault and floor exercise this season, while Brooke Evans is the second best competitor on the vault with a 9.825 and Erin Patchey owns the Cardinals' second best mark on the floor with a 9.80.
On the bars, Angie Hosbach and Brooklyn Schumacher have Ball State's best performance with a 9.80, while Jessica Leko and Leah Wilson are tied for the team's top marks on the balance beam with 9.85 marks.
Tickets for the MAC Championships at the EMU Convocation Center will cost $10 for adults, while youth, senior citizens, and MAC students with a valid school ID will be admitted in for $5. Seating will be general admission, but fans will be an assigned seating section pre-designated for each competing team.

Whenever Tiger Woods does anything in the world of golf, especially when he wins a tournament like last week's AT&T National, many of us tend to watch closely, sending TV ratings skyrocketing.
If Woods gives us Sundays on the leaderboard 15 to 20 times a year -- more than a whole season of "Mad Men" -- the PGA Tour and its TV partners would be ecstatic. Each of Tiger's rounds is like a four-hour miniseries, often with enough drama to fill another three hours of prime-time TV. There are all kinds of subplots and twists in the story of his round to keep us engaged for hours.
For years, Phil Mickelson has been the other predictable ratings booster in the game. When Tiger and Phil played together in February in the final round at Pebble Beach, the Sunday telecast on CBS was up 96 percent from the previous year's coverage.
Like Tiger, Phil has a routine that works. The 42-year-old lefty is sometimes long and crooked, with a Houdini-like ability to escape from perilous situations on the golf course. He knows how to play to the crowd and draw inspiration from its encouragement.
Your dream match on the old Shell's Wonderful World of Golf might always be Tiger and Phil. Every time you see one of them in contention, it's easy to wonder how things might have gone if they were in it together in a head-to-head battle. Although the rivalry has never quite materialized into many great duels in the majors, their competitive drive to beat each other has been good for these two players, who have combined for 114 tour wins and 18 major championships.
Mickelson and Woods are both in the field this week at the Greenbrier Classic in West Virginia. What's the likelihood that we'll see another ratings bonanza this weekend with the two of them paired together in the final round?
The last time they played together on a big Sunday was at Pebble Beach, where Mickelson shot a 64, beating Tiger by 11 shots, to win that event for the fourth time. Tiger's 75 didn't help calm concerns about his chances of ever winning again. His putter was balky and his swing was inconsistent.
Meanwhile, Phil's game was on the upswing. The next week at the Northern Trust in L.A., he lost in a playoff to Bill Haas. Then after a tie for fourth in Houston, he notched a T-3 at the Masters after a disappointing final round of even-par 72.
But since getting elected into the World Golf Hall of Fame prior to the start of the Players Championship in May, Mickelson hasn't been the same player. If he could have had his choice, he probably would have deferred the call to the Hall of Fame until after his retirement. It was very difficult for Mickelson to try to put his lifelong body of work into some perspective when he still has so much work to do. The career Grand Slam is still in his sights.
At the Memorial, he withdrew after a first-round 79, citing mental fatigue. But before he left Ohio, Mickelson raised a stink about cellphones on the golf course. At Olympic, he was energized by his paring with Tiger and Bubba Watson in the first two rounds, but he struggled to make the cut and was never in contention, finishing in a tie for 65th.
"The feeling and the excitement I got when I found out I was paired with Tiger the final round at Pebble got me excited and focused," Mickelson said. "And I felt a similar feeling when I found out we were paired together [in the U.S. Open]."
In those first two rounds at the U.S. Open, it was easy to see the different paths that Phil and Tiger had gone with their games since February. Tiger was growing into his swing, while Phil couldn't quite seem to get on the right track. Yet, it would have been hard to imagine at the beginning of the year that at the halfway point of the season, Tiger would have easily surpassed Phil in wins.
Since Tiger was dusted by Phil at Pebble Beach, he's worked through some problems with his putting and golf swing to win three of his last seven tournaments.
More than five years older than the 36-year-old Tiger, Mickelson is moving into some difficult years to win major championships. Vijay Singh had 22 wins after turning 40, but only one of those victories was a major, and he was 41 when he won the '04 PGA Championship. (Mickelson just turned 42.) That year, Singh had nine wins and 18 top-10s on tour. It's hard to imagine an amazing year like that in Mickelson's future. And it's not because he's not good enough, but mostly because at this point in his life he's barely going to play 18 tournaments in a season, let alone have 18 top-10s.
Last year at Royal St. Georges, Mickelson nearly won the Open Championship. His tie for second was his best finish in 18 trips to the event. In recent years, he hasn't played a tournament between the U.S. Open and the Open Championship, but by playing this week at Greenbrier, it could be an indication that he wants to sharpen his game heading into Lytham.
In 2011, Mickelson missed the cut in his first appearance at Greenbrier, when it was held two weeks after the Open Championship. He said his performance at Royal St. Georges was a turning point in his season. He will have a chance this week on the Old White TPC course to try to bring his game to the level where it was when he won at Pebble Beach in February.

DeLAND—Michael Murray tossed a complete game and the top three batters in Florida Gulf Coast's order combined to drive in all eight runs as the Eagles handed Stetson an 8-2 loss in the opening game of an Atlantic Sun Conference series, Saturday at Melching Field.
The A-Sun leader in earned run average entering the game (0.20), Murray (6-0) scattered seven hits and walked just one batter while striking out four for the conference-leading Eagles (17-9, 4-0).
Trailing 3-0 in the bottom of the sixth, Stetson scored twice to get within 3-2. But the game turned back in the Eagles' favor when the Hatters surrendered five runs in the top of the seventh.
"When it got to be 3-2 we felt like we had a chance to win," said Stetson head coach Pete Dunn. "The thing that was most disappointing was that we battled back from a 3-0 deficit, and we needed a pitcher to go out and give us a stop and get us back in the dugout, and instead of a stop FGCU put up a five spot. After that inning they got real comfortable, especially with a guy like Murray on the mound."
Murray and Stetson (9-17, 1-3) emergency starter Adam Schaly engaged in a pitcher's duel over the first five innings.
Stetson missed an opportunity to take an early lead in the second when freshman left fielder Jordan Schulz tripled off the wall in center field with one out. But a pair of pop ups left him stranded.
Schaly, who was forced into action when scheduled starter Josh Powers tweaked his back during pregame warm ups, limited FGCU to just one run over the first four innings. The lone run came when three-hole batter Michael Suchy hit a two-out solo home run for a 1-0 lead.
Making his first start of the season, Schaly kept FGCU from adding to its lead until the sixth. With one out and one on, FGCU's number two hitter Colton Bottomley blasted a two-run home run to left field for a 3-0 lead.
Stetson cut into the lead in the bottom of the fifth. Center fielder Kevin Fagan led off with a double, and later scored when the right fielder misplayed a single by first baseman Patrick Mazeika. Catcher Garrett Russini followed with a double into the right-center field gap to score Mazeika and get Stetson within 3-2.
But FGCU regained control of the game in the seventh, scoring five runs against three Stetson pitchers. FGCU lead-off batter Jake Noll drove in two runs with a single and Bottomley knocked in two more with a double. Suchy plated the inning's final run with a triple to make it 8-2.
Murray took over down the stretch, limiting Stetson to one hit in the final three innings.
Schaly (0-1) suffered the loss but, under the circumstances, turned in a solid performance. He allowed three runs (all earned) on four hits in 5.1 innings. The sophomore lefty struck out two and walked one.
"I thought Schaly went out there and gave us a pretty good performance," said Dunn. "Especially considering that 10 minutes before the game he didn't even know he was going to start."
Mazeika led Stetson with three. Fagan, Russini, Schulz and Robert Bruce had the other hits.
Noll, Bottomley and Suchy combined to go 7-for-14 with eight RBI and five runs scored.
The Hatters and Eagles conclude their series with a doubleheader, noon, Sunday, at Melching Field.

by ROGER LEMIEUX, St. Albert city councillor
Having sat on St. Albert city council for about four years now, I can say that one of the issues I hear about most often from citizens is Servus Credit Union Place.
I've heard lots of complaints, mainly about the locker rooms — they're too small, there aren't enough of them — and that the fitness areas were packed and more equipment was needed.
So, when I started visiting Servus Place myself about six months ago to work out, I thought I'd check out some of these complaints first-hand. I've even made a point over the last month or so to go to the facility at different times during the day, from early morning to late evening, and checked out almost every corner, from the third-floor running track to the second-floor weight room to the community gym on the main floor.
And while I could see that some improvements could be made, they don't require immediate attention.
I've used the running track, the treadmills in the fitness centre, and the free weights. The track is never crowded, and in every corner are free weights, exercise bikes and floor mats free to use. And in the weight room, even in the busiest times, if had to wait for a cardio machine, it was only for a minute or two. The quality of the equipment is state-of-the-art, and there are always staff roaming around, willing to help.
As for lockers, there hasn't been one time that I've had a problem finding a locker. Sometimes, it's in the seldom-used dressing room on the main floor by the basketball courts. Still, I don't see any immediate need to spend taxpayer dollars on the facility.
I've also noticed that there's a real variety of users, from kids in the aquatic centre to seniors keeping fit to young mothers walking the track. It creates a wonderful, warm feeling that is welcoming to all.
Servus Place is a facility that I, as a St. Albertan, am proud of, and it is something the whole city should be proud of. City council of the day locked in a price of $47.2 million for the facility; to build it today would cost upwards of $140 million.
Of course, as St. Albert grows, so too will the recreational needs of our citizens. A new ice surface is definitely on the horizon and could be located at Servus Place, although it is not currently a funded item in the City's capital budget. And, as north Edmonton neighbourhoods continue to build out and attract residents, it is conceivable that more of them will start making the short trip to use St. Albert's facilities.
But, for the time being, Servus Place is an excellent place to participate in family sports and individual health, and one that, in its present shape, should serve us well into the future.
