Our consideration of the future of medical education has properly centered on the new medical school, its relationship to its parent university, and the products we can expect it to turn out. However, I am secretly glad that we did not stop there, and that we have allowed a few additional moments to reflect on a quite different aspect which the new medical school presents, namely, the impact which it can be expected to have on the community in which it is to be located. I am learning rapidly that this is not a minor consideration, and more than once I have been tempted to suggest that the safest way to anticipate the community relationships of a new school of medicine is from the sun deck of a cruise ship in the south Pacific Ocean. However, since we can expect very little from this approach, I will try instead to

Moratuwa Sports Club forges ahead with new pavilion
by PELHAM JURIANSZ
Moratuwa Sports Club (MSC), one of the pioneer sports clubs in the country, will be constructing a new pavilion at the De Soysa Stadium which is undergoing some major changes, because of the enthusiasm of this cricket crazy town.
The foundation stone laying ceremony for the new building took place yesterday at 9.30 a.m. amidst a distinguished gathering including ministers.
Moratuwa has been the home of cricket for well over a century, in fact since 1876, when the great philanthropist Charles Henry de Soysa, founded Prince of Wales College and as a tribute, the stadium is named aftrer him.
Many well known names in the cricketing world have emerged from Moratuwa. There are famous names that have emerged at Moratuwa Sports Club like, D. H. L. de Silva, C. Hubert de Mel, D. T. S. Peiris, A. C. W. Peiris, J. B. C. Rodrigo, Rolly Fernando, G. P. de Silva, C. E. L. de Silva, K. W. Dharmapala, J. A. F. Fernando, F. W. Fernando, Leonard de Mel, Eric Fernando, Annesley de Mel, Leslie Mendis, Collin Fonseka, D. Mahindapala, Nisal Senaratne, D. D. Jayasinghe, H. I. Fernando, Stanley Fonseka, Lloyd Peiris, Frank Pieris, C. Dissanayake, Austin Ratnayake, P. H. S. Mendis, Bertram de Silva, Wilmot Mendis, Linden Fernando, Bandula Premachandra, Herbert Fonseka, Arjuna Dias, Suranjith Mendis, U. D. L. Wimalaratne, Sylvester Dias, Tudor Meegoda, Sarath Fernando, S. Illangaratnam, Ransiri Pieris, Bandula de Silva, Daya Sirisena, D. P. de Silva, Tissa de Soysa, Jayantha Wickremasooriya, Manik de Silva, Lantra Fernando, Hemal Mendis, Roger Wijesuriya, Jayantha Perera, Hemal Fernando, Archdeacon of Galle, Rev. Patrick Fernando, Vernon de Mel, Maurice Fernando, Renfred Peiris, Villet Fernando and Prasanna Fernando, to name a few.
One of the needs of the Moratuwa Sports Club that was formed in 1941 is that they do not have a well equipped pavilion at the ground. They have thus invested in the construction of a new pavilion with the help of the Board of Control for Cricket in Sri Lanka(BCCSL).
The two-storey building will house a gymnasium which will enable not only the cricketers but also the basketballers to exercise. The total cost of the project as it stands today is approximately Rs. 6.2 million for which the BCCSL has given a grant of 3.5 million. The general committee of Moratuwa Sports Club headed by Patron, Upali Dharmadasa and his brother, Jayantha of the Nawaloka Group have initiated this project and shouldered the responsibility of raising the balance of approximately Rs. 3 million.
All members numbering around 100 are requested to contribute towards this worthwhile project.
Cricket, the "king of sports" has been in Moratuwa for well over a century so it is envisaged that this pavilion will enable the cricket crazy public of this city south of Colombo to enjoy the game in comfort.
The club started playing cricket from the inception and soon became joint champions with NCC for the "Daily News Trophy" in 1957 and was promoted to the Sara League.
During the last season The Moratuwa Sports Club once again became Sara champions in the newly structured tourney. Earlier that season, they won the Division 1 one day tournament. The club produced players like Lucky Rogers Fernando, former Best Outstation Cricketer of the Year from Moratu Vidyalaya. The team included Mangala Jayasena from St.John's Panadura as his deputy, Nisal Fernando, former Thomian and SSC cricketer, Dhammika Rajapakse, Ashan Ranaweera, Chaminda Haturusinghe to name a few.
Not only is Moratuwa famous for men's cricket but also for women's cricket. They have at least four members representing Sri Lanka in the Women's Cricket Association team of Sri Lanka.

Sitting in his cruiser as he just completed a vehicle stop on Lycoming Creek Road on the night of March 27, Cpl. Derron Farber saw an erratic driver in a pickup truck coming right at him and was forced to quickly take "evasive action" to avoid a collision.
As Farber began to pursue the vehicle, the driver began "weaving and abruptly swerving" in the southbound lane, according to the trooper's affidavit.
The trooper pulled the vehicle over in the area of McKee Road in Lycoming Township. As soon as he approached the truck, "I detected a moderate odor of an alcohol beverage about the vehicle," he said.
The driver was Kevin Brent Shuman, 41, of 977 McKee Road, who Farber alleged was heavily intoxicated. Being charged with drunk driving was nothing new for Shuman.
He has been arrested for driving under the influence on four other occasions, including 1992, 1993, 1999 and 2002, Farber said.
"Once he was in custody in my vehicle, a heavy odor of alcohol could be detected about him" Farber said of Shuman, who refused to have his blood taken. Shuman also was charged with careless driving. He will have a preliminary hearing on April 28 before District Judge James H. Sortman.
In another drunk driving arrest made by Farber, Susan Elizabeth Gillen, 48, of Lock Haven was arrested after allegedly driving in an erratic manner on Route 15 from Route 184 in Cogan House Township to the area of the Buttonwood interchange in Jackson Township about 3:10 p.m. on March 7.
Like Shuman, Gillen had been arrested before for drunk driving; in her case, three times, Farber said.
At one point during the afternoon pursuit, Gillen pulled over, but then pulled back out onto the highway when Farber got out of his cruiser.
When the pursuit did end, Farber said that he "immediately recognized that Gillen was heavily intoxicated" as he approached her car. The woman's eyes were bloodshot and her speech was slurred, Farber said.
As Farber took her to the county's DUI center in his cruiser, Gillen "repeatedly made comments about drinking too much and having a drinking problem. She stated that she had tried hard to quit, but she couldn't."
Like Shuman, Gillen refused to have her blood drawn at the DUI center. Charged with driving under the influence of intoxicants and careless driving, she was arraigned Wednesday before Sortman and released on $3,000 bail.
These two are the just latest of repeat offenders to be charged with drunk driving. When Old Lycoming Township Sgt. Joseph Hope charged Kevin H. Adams, 38, of 3605 Lycoming Creek, following a crash in the 4000 block of Route 15 on March 8, it turned out to be Adams' fifth drunk driving arrest.

Advocates for Education

PO Box 170123
Milwaukee, WI 53217-8011
Advocates for Education is a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization that works to promote high quality public education in Whitefish Bay by:
Since its establishment, AFE has adopted 14 External Policies to fulfill its mission.
Advocates for Education has moved far beyond its original task of promoting the Middle School referendum of 1995. With the help of a committed membership, Advocates for Education has:
And on an ongoing basis, AFE:
The seed for Advocates for Education of Whitefish Bay, Inc. was officially germinated on a hot August night in 1994, when five Bay parents came together to discuss a strategy to respond to the failed middle school building referendum of the prior April. However, the actual planting of that seed happened over the course of the previous year, during "kindergarten door" discussions centered on the need for informed advocacy to promote and maintain high quality public education.
At the kindergarten door, a number of parents, particularly Connie Gavin and Meredie Scrivner, were becoming increasingly concerned that in order for public education to meet the needs of all children and in order for public education to remain a high priority in our community, an increased degree of articulate public input was needed. There was thought that the halcyon days of our childhoods, when public education did a fine job largely without the need for public vigilance and encouragement, were over forever.
The immediate need for a resolution to the Whitefish Bay Middle School overcrowding issue, combined with the long term need for articulate community-based advocacy on behalf of public education, were the basis for the founding of Advocates for Education of Whitefish Bay, Inc. The founding members were Bob Rothacker, Jay Miller, Lesley Kinzfogl, Linda Olsheska and Meredie Scrivner.
The mission of the organization, adopted in 1994 and unchanged today, is: "to promote continued high quality public education in Whitefish Bay by informing residents regarding education issues and encouraging public participation in matters affecting the schools."
The organization was incorporated in the fall of 1994 and undertook an immediate campaign both to grow the organization and to solve the middle school overcrowding issue. Through advocacy at the school board level, the middle school building plan was redesigned and again submitted to a community referendum set for April, 1995. AFE ran an aggressive community-based campaign involving hundreds of volunteers who eventually became the membership base for the organization. On April 2, 1995, the referendum which had been soundly defeated the previous year was passed by an 80 vote margin, with a phenomenal 69% voter turnout. That campaign and victory remain a model for successful grass-roots advocacy, and the election result remains a major event in the rich history of our community.
Since that first highly focused year of overdrive activity, the organization has continued to be an informed and effective voice on behalf of public education. "Study groups" of four or five interested members have followed such issues as state funding of public education and the impact of revenue caps; model academic standards and high stakes testing; and the Chapter 220 voluntary integration program. AFE has become recognized statewide and nationally for its intelligent, articulate, reasonable positions on issues of great importance to public education. AFE's work on the statewide testing issue is widely identified throughout Wisconsin as having been highly effective in achieving in the retrenchment of the state's high stakes testing law into a more moderate plan.
After over a decade of existence, Advocates for Education has reached a maturity and stability which seem able to insure long-term viability. Leadership has successfully turned over a number of times, and new leadership has been recruited with relative ease. More than any other factor in a grass roots organization, this ability to attract new leaders is an enormous sign of viability. The membership has been stable in the 150 family range, and it is likely this number could be increased with some additional recruitment techniques. While not a high profile group, AFE enjoys a positive community image with most who have any impression of the group.
Overall, it would appear that that vision of those who formed Advocates for Education was a valid one, and that those who have carried out that vision over the past nine years have done a fine job. The group appears healthy and still needed as we continue to promote high quality public education in the 21st century.

The Pennsylvania Milk Marketing Board is one of those small state agencies that remains a mystery to city dwellers far from the farm. But this month, the board may take action on a subject close to home.
The price of milk.
The Harrisburg-based board is mulling a policy change that could not only affect Philadelphia schoolchildren, but also taxpayers' pocketbooks: revising - downward, it is hoped - the price of milk sold to Philadelphia's public schools.
The board sets minimum milk prices for milk sold in the state, with the tricky goal of protecting dairy farmers, distributors and customers. It's a mission that began during the Depression, amid fears that desperate farmers would undercut each other so badly they would drive each other out of business. While Pennsylvania is one of only five states that still has a milk board, it also has about 11,800 dairy farms, a sizable interest group.

With the FIND R PET service, you buy a collar embroidered with the phrase "I'm Lost! Call 1-800 FIND R PET." If your cat becomes lost, the owner calls the same number, describes the pet and explains where it was lost. If someone finds the cat and calls the toll-free number with a description of the cat and location where it was found, the company will match the two callers and will tell the owner where to pick up the pet. Registering your cat involves a one-time fee of $19.95. FIND R PET offers a safety cat collar with an elastic inset so it will give way if the cat is caught on a branch or fence. Collars are available by calling the 800 number.
Lost Paws features a toll-free number and voice mail with the capacity to accept and convey messages 24 hours a day. Your cat wears a Lost Paws tag, and if the cat becomes lost, the finder calls the number on the tag, which is your assigned voice mailbox. You can leave and receive messages anytime and retrieve them from anywhere. The service costs $19.95 a year, including the tag, with discounts for additional pets.
The service is particularly beneficial for pet owners who are on vacation or who frequently travel for business and cannot access or place a new message on their home answering machines, said owner Judy Peeples. She recommends that cat owners have tags on their pets, even cats that have microchips.
As part of their services, all the microchip companies-AVID, InfoPet and Schering-Plough-maintain databases of registered pets.
With Pet Detectives Inc., you register your home and work number, and can call the toll-free hotline to update your location if your cat is lost while traveling. For $29.95, you receive two wallet ID cards, a brass ID tag and one year of monitoring; a one-year renewal costs $19.95.

Charleston police on Tuesday arrested a man accused of hitting a bicycle and injuring two people in a hit-and-run collision.
Willian Cabrera, 48, of Birdie Garrett Street is charged with leaving the scene of an accident with personal injury, jail records show.
Police officers were called to the King Street Extension at Trescott Street around 1 a.m., an incident report states. A man and woman were lying on the sidewalk injured from a wreck.
They told police a silver-colored sport utility vehicle hit them from behind. The woman had been sitting in the man's lap while he pedaled the bicycle when the collision occurred, police said.
The SUV paused for a moment, then fled the scene, according to the report. The man and woman managed to get the vehicle's tags.
Paramedics transported the man and woman to Roper Hospital with injuries to their hands and legs, police said.
Investigators located the suspect vehicle in the driveway of a home on Birdie Garrett Street. The SUV's front bumper and hood were damaged, police said.
When officers approached the home, Cabrera stepped outside and onto a patio. He was holding a set of keys and a cellphone, police said.
Officers asked Cabrera what was going on. According to the report, he took a deep breath and responded, "I hit a bicyclist."
Cabrera told police that dense fog prevented him from seeing the bicycle in time to avoid the collision. He stopped after hitting the people, Cabrera reported to police, but panicked and fled the scene.
Cabrera was held at the Charleston County jail in lieu of $10,000 bail.

If Pokémon Plans to Evolve, Going Online-Heavy Won't Be the Way
Pokémon producer shoots down the idea of a persistent online title.
By Chris Pereira Oct 02, 2012 4:21PM PSTTags: Nintendo DS Pokemon Black/White 2 (NintendoDS)
Pokémon is a franchise frequently criticized for failing to evolve. Given industry trends and advances in technology, we've been wondering for years now if and when we would see an online-focused Pokémon game -- more specifically, a Pokémon MMO. While that might seem like too radical of an idea for Nintendo, remember it's Game Freak that develops the games and that this week will see premium downloadable content released for New Super Mario Bros. 2, which is not something we would have seen from Nintendo even a few years ago. That said, it would seem an online-oriented Pokémon title is not in the cards at this point in time.
Game Freak producer Junichi Masuda recently discussed the idea of a persistent online Pokémon game with Gamasutra, and much to the chagrin of those looking forward to such a game, he indicated such a project is unlikely. "I really like online connectivity, but for example, we're having this phone call right now, and it's really cool that we can communicate with each other from two really faraway places," he said. "But at the same time, it would also be really great if we could talk in person.
"That's another thing we could do; it's much more enjoyable when you're talking in person. So I think the best way is to have kind of both at the same time, being able to enjoy this kind of faraway communication, as well as having aspects that allow you to enjoy communication face-to-face and in-person communication."
I can understand not wanting to abandon gamers who want to be able to play together in-person, but if that's the big reason for not wanting to do a more online-oriented game, I do find myself questioning the logic. Even if we accept that playing together in-person is superior to playing online, it's not an option for everyone. The developers do understand that, or else we wouldn't have online features of any sort in Pokémon. But why is it these can't be taken further? It's not as if an online-centric game has to completely leave out any local multiplayer; if that's deemed important, there's no reason why Game Freak could not still provide a rich multiplayer experience for those wanting to play in-person. It also would not have to be the permanent direction for the series: Dragon Quest X being an MMO doesn't mean every future Dragon Quest release will be one, too.
Certainly, part of the reason why I am intrigued by an online Pokémon game is because I've grown tired of the series' formula. When I realize Pokémon Black/White Version 2 are being released this Sunday, I begin to get excited about picking one or the other up. That is, until I realize what's likely to happen if I do: I'll play for five to ten hours before growing tired of an experience that is, in many ways, so much like every prior Pokémon game I've played.
Masuda compared Pokémon to a sport like soccer or basketball, where the core mechanics have changed very little over time -- only the specific rules have. That got me thinking about whether I simply look at Pokémon games in the wrong way; would I feel differently if I considered them more akin to the latest entry in an annual sports franchise than a new JRPG? Maybe I would, until I realize that I have no issue with the core gameplay. I'm not asking for, say, dramatically redesigned combat. But is it really so much to want the main game to consist of something other than the standard "collect all these badges and then face the Elite Four" routine? Black/White Version 2 adhere to that norm, just like their predecessors, and that does little to excite me as someone who started playing the series with the release of Pokémon Blue.
Pokémon is hardly the only Nintendo franchise to be criticized for not changing enough over the years, though at least something like Mario gets the occasional fresh title like Super Mario Galaxy. Pokémon doesn't even need something as dramatically different as that; the core of the Pokémon RPGs seems to lend itself to an online title of some sort. Perhaps the lack of such a game should be no surprise -- Nintendo does, after all, seem to fail time and again to grasp what it is gamers want from online gaming. With games like Outernauts cropping up and World of Warcraft featuring its own take on Pokémon in Mists of Pandaria, it does seem like Nintendo risks losing some fans to games more willing to provide the kind of online experience in a Pokémon-style game they want.
For some people, the Pokémon formula staying intact for Black/White Version 2 -- games that could have easily bucked the trend -- won't be an issue. Newcomers, in particular, are sure to be in for a good time as Game Freak has had nearly 15 years to perfect what it's trying to do. Others will be fine with it either because the new features that are included interest them or because they buy every Pokémon game no matter the circumstances. Others yet, myself included, will skip this release and continue to hope for something -- anything -- new to come along to shake up the formula. An online-centric title may or may not be the best possible answer, but it's hard to imagine such a dramatic change not making things feel comparatively fresh, which is all I'm really asking for.

Side GamesPosted: Oct 02, 2012 12:00AM PST by wolf_eyes
Pokemon has varied from its basic formula with the likes of the Mystery Dungeon and Pokemon Ranger series. However, I never felt that these provided the full pokemon experience. I mean you can beat the ranger games in about 10-15 hours. If Pokemon were to create an online game, I would like to see a complete change in the formula. Instead of playing as a trainer, play as a wild pokemon and try to avoid being captured. You battle trainers by yourself and guilds could be teams of wild pokemon. You could get the option to choose basic pokemon like pidgeys or bidoofs for a different challenge.
ZeldaPosted: Oct 02, 2012 12:00AM PST by Naphtali
I feel the same way about zelda. I'm so scared of being further burnt out on the stale formula that I'm willing to skip new entries until I see they're willing to make it fresh again.
Is Pokemon the series with the most untapped potential? It's a little baffling.
Potential PokemonPosted: Oct 02, 2012 12:00AM PST by sewageking
I definitely agree that Pokemon has a lot of untapped potential. Having played every game since the original Red and Blue, it's not hard for me to imagine the different routes Game Freak could take with a new Pokemon game -- obviously others have suggested an online multiplayer game, but I personally think that it has a lot of potential as a more story-intensive RPG. More than almost any other RPG's of this style, I think the Pokemon games create wonderfully realized worlds that are a ton of fun to explore. I'd love to see this aspect of the game fleshed out with deeper characters and slightly more involved plots.

i have nothing to say other than that blue and yellow pokemon logo is hideous.
I don't thinkPosted: Oct 02, 2012 12:00AM PST by ngamer-90
I'll ever get tired of these games, I've been playing the games since the early days and have been till now. Just give me a starter pokemon and I'm sure to have a blast and exceed 500+ hours in the game. Sometimes I don't think it's a question of whether they can do it or not, you know a pokemon mmo, but I think it's rather the money. Think about it, every new entry in the series sells millions of copies, and in return they make a ton of money. Now if they turn that into an mmo, it'll be quite different. I'm pretty sure they can have every single region ever on one huge game, and add more content to it like newer regions as the years go by, and maybe have a subscription fee, but how many players will keep paying and playing every month when with what people are saying it's the same thing with every pokemon game? Now only longer and you have to pay every month?
I'm not saying they shouldn't try an mmo or some online heavy pokemon game, by all means that's what I want them to do, but I don't think we'll see one anytime soon. Plus pokemon games are online heavy, it's called competitive battling.
It doesn't need to be an MMOPosted: Oct 03, 2012 12:00AM PST by Epic Greenman
But anyone who's familiar with Smogon knows that they really need to beef up their online system. I'd love to see the next Pokemon system work like Pokemon Showdown. Random battles, letting you create an (obviously only) online team for matchmaking, and all the different tiers and online rules make it such a great online game.

That's the same song and dance Nintendo has given for years when its asked why it doesn't do more on-line.
The real reason Nintendo hates on-line is this: it costs money to both implement those features and maintain them, and the company is all about squeezing as much money from something with as little effort and investment as possible (while still hitting a certain level of quality.)
Or just maybe...Posted: Oct 03, 2012 12:00AM PST by Captain_Gonru
they don't make games that need to be online to be enjoyed. Personally, I do very little online gaming. What I do play are a few games with people I know that don't live close enough to come over anymore. And then it's co-op. Mercs 2 and Minecraft see far more online time on my XBox than Transformers deathmatch or Call of Duty anything. There are some gamers that need to have that competition. And others, like myself, that don't. For me, friend codes aren't a big deal, because the few people I play with online are actual friends, so all I have to do is hand them a piece of paper with the numbers on it at work or whatever, and we're good to go.
Frankly, I do enjoy a face-to-face comversation over a phone call. But maybe that's more of a generational thing. Now I have to wonder if that means I'm getting old. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to chase some kids off my lawn.

talking about a damn Pokemon MMO for ages. It would work so well! Gahhhhhhh, oh well. I'll settle for a fully 3-D, fully animated, Pokemon instead if it can't be an MMO as well. Lookin' at you Wii U. And when I say fully animated, I mean the Pokemon actual fight. None of this Pokemon Stadium cut away, cut back nonsense!
Been wondering for a while nowPosted: Oct 03, 2012 12:00AM PST by player2aj
if a Pokemon fighting game would do well. With a roster of over 600(I think) now, I think it would be great. Imagine taking your team of pokemon and actually being in the action instead of just choosing an attack and hitting a button. And if it had custumizable move sets(wishful thinking), all the better.
I would love to play...Posted: Oct 05, 2012 12:00AM PST by GenesisDoes
A Pokemon game where I can actually run into pokemon in real time on the field. Where I would have to stalk rare and meek pokemon and set up situations where I can corner them and use my pokemon to battle and catch them.
Where I have a decent range of creative control over the look of my avatar. And as for on-line options, be able to allow other users (Probably a set amount) into a shared gaming world where I could literally walk up to them and challenge them to a battle.
That's what I want to see from Pokemon. I initially enjoyed Pokemon Black, but halfway through I just got bored with it and got sick of randomized battles.

A nice destination we always go to in the fall is Windy Hill Orchard in Greenville, New Hampshire. The farm offers tractor hayrides to take you out to the trees, where you can pick your own apples (you can also buy bags of apples already picked), plus there's a challenging corn maze and farm animals, too. In October you can pick your own pumpkins. There's a nice gift shop, as well, with caramel apples, coffee, and light refreshments.

Basically: You better love to have fun, or we won't get along. I like to think of myself as confident, but not arrogant. I'm a very humble man. I don't run away from problems. Also I watched my cousin get her heart broken many times, and this made me realize how important it is to treat a woman right. My mother also taught me how to have inner strength and not get walked on. I am easy going, and I love to put a smile on people's faces, no matter where I am or who I am with. Some stuck up people may think it's strange, but you might find me making faces back at the kids in the car in front of me.
Are you able to handle masculine energy? I can be quite a handful. Do you consider yourself a bit dorky rather than "hot", educated rather than just "street-smart", a creator rather than a consumer, and happy rather than content? In that case, we should talk. "Everybody dies, not everybody lives." -- I love the quote, but have no idea where it's from. 10 brownie points if you can tell me. 100 points and a cereal box top can be redeemed
for the best brownie recipe in the world. Anyways...
I just want to hang out casually to see if there is some chemistry between us. That, or potential for a friendship. I'm fine with either outcome - or neither. Maybe I'll meet someone special online - maybe you will, too. Send me a quick email with why you think we would get along well, and we'll take it from there.

A regenerative gas turbine power plant is shown in the figure below. Air enters the compressor at 1 bar, 27*C and is compressed to 4 bar. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 80%, and the regenerator effectiveness is 90%. All the power developed by the higher pressure turbine is used to run the compressor and the lower pressure turbine provides the net power output of 97 kW. Each turbine has an efficiency of 87% and the temperature at the inlet to the high temperature turbine is 1200 K. Assume air-standard cycle with variable specific heats.
First Draw the T-S diagram of the cycle and label all states.
A) The mass flow rate of air into the compressor in units of kg/s

The dream of never having to vacuum again feels all too real when you look at advertisements for iRobot's (NASDAQ: IRBT ) Roomba floor-cleaning robot, but one recent high-profile review does not look favorably upon these friendly looking floor cleaners.
Consumer Reports recently characterized the robotic vacuums as "expensive novelties." This is the last type of product review you'd like to hear as an investor in iRobot, and it comes on the back of competitor Neato Robotics winning several head-to-head robot vacuum reviews.
What's really interesting is the disagreement between consumer reviews and Consumer Reports. A quick look at the Amazon.com or Bed Bath & Beyond sites shows the robotic vacuums performing admirably and collecting four- to five-star reviews across the board.
In the video below, Motley Fool analyst Blake Bos goes over these mixed signals, and tells investors what they should watch for before the company reports earnings after markets close on Tuesday.
Robots aren't the only thing set to change the world
With the U.S. relying on the rest of the world for such a large percentage of our goods, many investors are ready for the end of the "made in China" era. Well, it may be here.

When it comes to eating out, it's hard to say who has the best local food in Kona because there are so many good places to eat here, but I'm going to point you in the right direction.
Hawaiian Food Is Delicious
What is local food you say? There are a lot of different types but I'll go over the most popular. What is referred to as a "plate lunch" consists of 2 scoops of white rice, 1 or 2 scoops of macaroni or potato salad and then Kalabi barbeque beef or Teriyaki Beef or Teriyaki Chicken just to name a few. You can order just one or all of the different meats to go with your rice and salad.
Ok, let's get back to where you can find some of the best places to eat. This is where the locals eat, The Big Island Grill located on Kuakini Hwy at Hanama Place. Huge portions, great authentic local style food. Breakfast lunch and dinner. Hanama Place is the 2nd traffic light south of Palani Rd. on Kuakini Hwy. Don't be in a hurry when you go here to eat, their always very busy and there is almost always a line.
If you're into Thai food, across the street is Krua and the place is always busy in the evening. Though I've never ate there, I've heard a lot of positive reviews from friends.
If you're looking for a stunning view and more up scale place that has local style food, try Sam Choy's in Keauhou. It's located just off of Kamehameha lll Rd in the Keauhou shopping center. Here are more reviews of places to eat in Kona. Kona Canoe Club.

Hau and colleagues have examined an important topic about which much confusing information has been published in recent years. They have chosen 38 carefully matched pairs of patients from a group of 255 patients treated for intra-abdominal infection. In each pair, one patient was treated with planned relaparotomy, and the other underwent reoperation only as clinical circumstances revealed the need. Previous reports examining the utility of planned relaparotomy have compared the authors' experiences with their own prior experiences, with the reported experience in the literature, or with a calculated, expected mortality according to some severity index. All these methods, while useful for generating hypotheses, are too flawed to justify a change in general practice patterns based on this type of information. The present study compared contemporaneous patients treated in the same institutions, using prospective data accumulation but retrospective analysis. Patients were not randomized, so, despite matching, there is a risk

Coffins Make For Suspicious Luggage
Clip | TV-MA
These are not the bags you're looking for. Alucard has plenty of "tricks" up his sleeve. The rogue vampire Alucard is the Hellsing Organization's deadliest instrument in its mission to protect the British Empire from satanic ghouls and Nazi freaks. He is not alone in his assault on the occult; the master has a servant. Policewoman Seras Victoria accepted Alucard's gift of dark salvation after falling in the line of duty, and now the remnants of her human soul struggle against her growing vampire urges. Together, they haunt the shadows as a sinister force of good – and tonight the foggy streets of England shall flow with the blood of their evil prey.

Sheet brass, photo-etched and powder-coated
London, England, 2004
Maria Jauhianen (b. 1971)
Winner of the Applied Metal Design Category of the Oxo Peugeot Design Awards, 2003
Brass remains primarily a functional metal. However, a few contemporary designers are using brass and decorating it with bright and exciting finishes.
With Lehti ('Leaf') the Finnish metalworker Maria Jauhianen confounds normal expectations of metal to create a delicate, seemingly weightless fruit bowl. She photo-etched her drawings of a decomposing leaf onto a thin metal sheet and dissolved the remaining areas with acid. Red powder-coating has given the bowl great strength and flexibility.

Balding, bug-eyed and built like a bull terrier, Bob Hoskins may be the most unlikely movie star material since the young Jimmy Cagney. But this London stage sensation (True West, Guys and Dolls) makes his own rules. His film send-off as a mobster in 1980's British import The Long Good Friday earned him cult status, and since then he's been stealing Yank flicks (Cotton Club, Sweet Liberty) in second-fiddle parts. But like the man said, you ain't seen nothin' yet. In Mona Lisa, a stinging drama for which he just won the Best Actor prize at Cannes, Hoskins makes the most of a once-in-a-lifetime role. He plays an ex-con, a petty thief who took the rap for his gangland boss (a sleazy Michael Caine) and now expects some reward. Instead, he gets abuse. His wife won't let him near their home, and Caine palms off a demeaning job on him: driving a high-priced black prostitute (Cathy Tyson) on her rounds. At first Tyson is appalled by this unsightly bantam cock with a loud mouth and a wardrobe to match. So she sets about transforming him with elegant clothing, lessons in etiquette and later, her trust. The striking Tyson (she's the 20-year-old niece of actress Cicely) makes a dazzling debut, finding both the shrewd promoter and scared child in this haughty hooker. Naturally, Hoskins falls hard. She is his Mona Lisa, the mysterious beauty of the Nat King Cole song he constantly plays. The song (an Oscar-winning 1950 standard) is a key to his character—he's a bruised romantic who wants to believe in happy endings. There aren't any, of course. Though he carts Tyson around like a prom date, he can't shut his eyes forever to what she does upstairs while he waits in the car. In helping Tyson find the object of her own romantic obsession, Hoskins finds the truth about himself in a violent confrontation that doesn't allow for illusions. Director and co-writer Neil (The Company of Wolves) Jordan has an unerring eye for random glints of humanity even in these squalid surroundings. And Hoskins, unexpectedly moving as he builds a new life out of his shattered fantasies, has created one of the great characterizations of recent times. Prepare to be wowed. (R)

The Washington Post reports that the Winter lassic will be pushed back. Official word will come down at 5p.m. [ WASHPO ]
The latest weather reports predict about 0.5" of rain in Pittsburgh between Saturday morning and afternoon, with 80 percent of it falling before 1 p.m. It should taper off around 3-4 p.m., theoretically giving Winter Classic officials time to get the ice ready for faceoff.
The NHL is waiting for one more weather report before making a final decision, the source said, but an announcement is expected at 5 p.m.
Early indications are the game would be played around 8 p.m., which, honestly, makes this all the more incredible. With some joke bowl games in the same time slot, the NHL has a chance to clean up in the ratings world.

Jaylon Myers always felt like he could get to this point.
The former Jacket has signed to play college ball with the West Virginia Mountaineers. The junior cornerback graduated from North Augusta High School in 2011 and has taken a path less traveled to get to this point.
"I started out at Georgia Military College and then I played my whole first year there," he said. "Then I got into a little incident, and I had to leave. I sat out a whole year, and I got discouraged, and I thought I wasn't going to go back to school. Then I got a call from Hutchinson (Community College in Kansas), and I felt like it was a second chance."
According to a report from 247sports, Arizona, Cincinnati, Georgia, North Carolina State and Oklahoma State also extended scholarship offers.
"It wasn't too far from home, but it wasn't too close either," Myers said about his decision to go to Morgantown. "At the same time, they made me feel like family when I went on my visit."
Myers felt like he would also be a strong fit in the Big 12.
"It's not like the SEC – in the SEC they tend to run the ball more than they pass," he said. "In the Big 12, you can see passes on first through third down, and you'll probably see a run every two series or so."
Myers' coach at North Augusta, Dan Pippin, reflected on the defensive back's ability at the high school level.
"He was real good, a real good athlete, a good kid and he had a good family," Pippin said. "He works real hard. He was fun to coach. I remember when he and I had a chat, and then he went and dunked a ball down to his elbow. I just thought 'Huh, this kid is pretty good.'"
Myers said when he was released from Georgia Military College, that he and his dad sat down and had a chat. His dad told him that 'things happen for a reason' and that they would 'bounce back' together.
"I knew it was my last chance at Hutchinson, and if I didn't make it there, that there wouldn't be a second chance," he said. "It just stuck in my head and nothing was going to stop me from pursuing my dream – it was all or nothing."
Pippin said that Myers will be "in a great position" at West Virginia.
"He is a big reason we are in the situation we are in now," Pippin said. "And he was also a big reason we were in the situation we were in when he was here."
The West Virginia faithful have already reached out to Myers, with a number of them already sending him letters of encouragement.
"They haven't even met me yet, and they are already telling me they can't wait to meet me and see what I can do," he said.

The Zephyrs definitely gave the 9,487 in attendance Saturday evening their money's worth. And if the crowd enjoys a nail-biting pitcher's duel with spectacular defense, they'll surly be back for more.
Albuquerque finally dispatched the Zephyrs, 4-3, when Luis Cruz hit a 12th-inning two-out double to the corner in left field, scoring Josh Fields from first for the winning run.
"We just didn't get the key hits," Zephyrs Manager Ron Hassey said. "We had a lot of opportunities to win that ballgame."
Elih Villanueva (0-1) pitched three innings in the loss, allowing one run on three hits.
Baton Rouge native Josh Wall closed the game, retiring the Zephyrs (14-8) in order.
Both teams' starters were terrific from the outset, moving the ball from side to side and keeping the hitters off-balance. Isotopes starter Will Savage faced 14 hitters, walking two and holding the Z's hitless through the first four innings. New Orleans starter Brad Hand allowed only one hit in the first two innings. But in the third, the Isotopes (12-11) got to the lefty.
Matt Angle led off with a single to right. After Savage struck out attempting to bunt, Elian Herrera and Joe Becker singled, loading the bases with one out. Hand got Scott Van Slyke swinging but walked Jeff Baisley, allowing the Isotopes their first run.
After the third, Hand cruised and didn't allow another hit. He pitched six innings, allowing one run on four hits and three walks, striking out six.
"Overall, the pitching was good," Hassey said. "Hand did a good job. I thought he struggled with his command for a few innings, but he was able to get through."
The Zephyrs got to Savage in the fifth. With one-out, Matt Dominguez singled to right, breaking up Savage's no-hit bid. Cole Armstrong followed with a double that rolled into the right-field corner, allowing Dominguez to score.
When Zephyrs reliever Dan Jennings entered in the seventh with the game tied at 1, he had pitched 8 1/3 scoreless innings this season. He left after retiring only one batter, and allowed two runs on three hits.
Chris Hatcher retired the next two batters with ease. Hatcher pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing only two hits.
Hatcher said when he enters a game, his mindset is always the same.
"I'm going to go as hard as I can for as long as I can," he said. "Here it is, hit it. If you get me that day, you get me. I'm going to do the exact same thing the next day. Nobody on, man on, it doesn't matter to me. You focus on one thing, and that's the mitt and the guy that's calling the signs."
The Zephyrs pulled to a run in the seventh. Luke Montz knocked Savage from the game with a leadoff single. Armstrong got his second RBI with a single through the middle of the infield.
New Orleans rallied in the eighth, tying the score at 3 on a sacrifice fly by Montz.
NOTES: In Thursday's game against Albuquerque, Catcher Clint Sammons suffered a torn right meniscus and has been placed on the disabled list. Sammons hopes to avoid surgery, and will attempt to heal via rehabilitation. He is expected to miss at least 10 days. … Catcher Jake Jefferies has been called up from AA Jacksonville. ... The Zephyrs' series with the Isotopes concludes today beginning at 1 p.m. New Orleans will start lefty Wade LeBlanc (1-1, 3.86 ERA) against right-hander Stephen Fife (1-2, 9.92).

Raiders' 2014 opponents lined up
Three and Out: Allen, Pryor clear the air
Tom Brady and the Patriots will host the Raiders next season, potentially the week before Oakland's "home" game in London. (USATSI)
Programming note: After Sunday's Raiders-Broncos game, turn the channel to Raiders Postgame Live on Comcast SportsNet California
The Raiders still have one game left in 2013, but next year's opponents have already been decided. Exact times and dates won't be announced until April, but the who and where was locked up after Sunday's games.
As always, the Raiders are slated to play home-and-home series within the AFC West. They also play the entire NFC West and AFC East in 2014. And per NFL custom, they'll play teams that finish in equal standing in the AFC North and the AFC South.
The Raiders have fourth place secured, as do the Houston Texans (AFC South) and Cleveland Browns (AFC North).
[RELATED: Perfect attendance at Raiders practice]
We know one game date, because the Raiders will play a "home" game against the Miami Dolphins on Sept. 28 and, as per custom for teams playing abroad, will have a bye the next week.
The NFL generally schedules an East Coast team before a West Coast team plays in London to avoid extreme travel, meaning the Raiders will play either at New England or the New York Jets on Sept. 21.

University of New Mexico officials are investigating how the Student Bar Association spent their money from April 2012 to April 2013.
Documents showed there was more than $20,000 from the university and fees paid by law students at the group's disposal.
According to an audit, $118 was spent on two trips to a nail salon, and three trips to a jewelry store cost more than $600.
The audit found about $1,200 spent at restaurants and pubs; another $1,200 was spent at liquor stores.
The audit also found about $6,663 in cash withdrawals.
University officials said if they can determine who spent the money on unauthorized expenses, the students could be suspended, expelled or even prosecuted.
"If they are current students in the student body, I would think that is a possibility, yes," University of New Mexico School of Law Dean David Herring said.
So far, no students have been penalized for misusing the account.

Canonical: Biting Off More Than it Can Chew with Ubuntu?
Is Canonical staying focused with its Ubuntu strategy? As we've noted, Canonical's Mark Shuttleworth has made clear that he is extremely focused on business users, and specifically cloud computing. The next version of Ubuntu is to be loaded with enterprise-focused options ranging from cloud computing features to extended support. At the same time, Canonical seems to have a very Apple-like focus on tailoring the OS for consumer devices. For example, CNet reports that Canonical is pushing aggressively toward putting Ubuntu on smartphones, tablets and even TVs.

The buy versus rent debate is the current hot topic when it comes to housing and personal finance. However, I think a lot of people get too caught up in the numbers. Yes, numbers are important, but what is even more important is that buying or renting a home is a lifestyle choice in addition to a financial choice. You shouldn't make your decision on one only one of these factors. You must consider both.
Financial Decisions
Renting and buying a home are two totally different beasts when it comes to money. Renting offers a fair amount of financial certainty when it comes to your housing expenses. You will know exactly how much your rent will be for the period of your lease and you won't likely have to pay much else for your basic housing costs. When you buy a home, your mortgage payment will stay close to the same if you have a fixed rate mortgage, but it may increase or decrease based on changing real estate taxes and insurance rates. If you have a variable rate mortgage, the payment can change as interest rates change.
Utility expenses are another large cost that are associated with your housing. If you rent, you might luck out and have some of your utilities included in your rent! However, if you buy a home, you're stuck with all of the utility bills in most cases. The benefit of owning a home is the fact that you can make your home more efficient with regards to heating, cooling, electricity and water usage if it is a smart financial move. As a renter, it wouldn't make sense to make these improvements as they'd likely be cost prohibitive.
Yard maintenance is sometimes covered in your rent as a renter and could potentially be included in homeowners association fees if you own a home. However, this particular cost will vary widely depending on your specific situation regardless of whether you're a renter or you buy your home.
Regular home maintenance is almost always paid for by your landlord if you're renting. If you own your home, you need to make sure you can afford all of the maintenance that is necessary or your home could end up losing value quickly. Even with all of these financial considerations, you still need to consider the lifestyle choice you'd be making when you choose if you'll rent or if you'll buy a home.
Once you take all of these factors into consideration, you should have a good idea if buying or renting will be cheaper on a monthly basis. If buying ends up cheaper, remember that you'll have to include money for a down payment and closing costs as well. Unfortunately, the better financial decision doesn't always make sense when you consider your lifestyle.
Lifestyle Decisions
The secret that will help you make a sound decision about whether to buy or rent is matching your finances with your lifestyle. Owning and renting a home are two very different lifestyle decisions. If your lifestyle doesn't fit your choice, you could end up in a world of hurt financially.
The first lifestyle choice is the length of time you'll live in a home. If you're not sure where you'll be in one year, let alone five years from now, then you're most likely better off renting a home. You can sign short leases and minimize the financial impact a mobile lifestyle would have on your wallet. However, if you're certain you'll be in a particular area for decades, you might want to put down roots and avoid the costs of rent increases and moving every couple of years when your landlord doesn't want to renew your lease.
If you hate yard work and performing maintenance tasks around the house, renting will definitely fit your lifestyle better. Since these things aren't normally the responsibility of the renter, you'll alleviate that stress on your life. If you live for having the perfect yard, you probably would want to own the home so you don't spend a ton of money fixing up a yard before the landlord decides not to renew your lease.
As you can see, deciding whether to own or rent a home isn't a simple decision. It takes a lot of reflection on your situation to determine what is best for you. Don't let others bully you into a situation you aren't comfortable with and do what's best for you!
What do you think about the buy vs rent debate? Which side to you fall on, or do you run the numbers for every scenario?

How To Build A Catapult
This catapult project is an easy and fun project. It takes about thirty minutes and it uses 32 popsicle sticks, some masking tape, and a rubber band. It also shows you a fundamental concept of engineering - the strength of the triangle.
I used a strong rubber band so this catapult actually fires a little projectile quite a long ways! Thirty feet in the air! And you can make adjustments to this and get it to fire further!
Want to see a video of it in action: The Popsicle Stick Catapult firing off! (Quicktime MOV) This catapult is pretty strong and really fires a projectile so in order for the whole thing not to go flying I had to nail it down. You can see the nails in the video.
Note: Some people want to build this version of the popsicle stick catapult. This is the teeny-tiny catapult. It is part of the Storm The castle catapult game. You can see the project and the game here.
I have this project in a Microsoft Word Document if you need to print it up: How to Make a Popsicle Stick Catapult
A little About the Triangle - The thing that makes this catapult so easy to build yet so strong (You can use quite a potent rubber band on this catapult and fire your projectiles a long way) is the use of the triangle which is the strongest geometric shape and is used in everywhere in architecture. It is what is used to make geodesic domes which is what Epcot center is made out of. The Geodesic dome is a series of triangles that are formed together so the triangles are now in three dimensional shapes like this catapult.
Let's Build This Catapult
Here is what you need to make this Catapult
32 Popsicle sticks, some masking tape, pencil, rubber band, scissors, X-acto knife (optional), piece of paper about 6 inches square.
Here is the basic process for taping sticks together. You lay out your tape with the sticky side up then place two sticks end to end right on it. But just press the sticks down firmly on the tape, don't wrap it up yet.
Place a third stick on top of these two sticks, right in the middle. Now you can wrap the tape around all three. Do at least two full revolutions of the tape.
Make three of these. This is the basis for your first triangle.
Now, as in the photo shown below, place these three popsicle stick assemblies end to end and then tape them together. Use at least three wraps of tape at the joints to make it nice and strong.
Now fold the length of sticks into a triangle and tape the end together. You now have your first triangle. Do this process two more times so you have three triangles.
Now hold two of the triangles together side by side and tape them only on one side. The red arrow shows the side that I have taped together. Our Geodesic triangle is going to tape shape now.
Now lay one triangle down on the table and splittling the legs on the two you taped together slide them right over the one on the table.
Here is the completed triangle, now all that remains is to tape all the shapes together.
Now let's build the arm of the catapult.
We use five popsicle sticks and this picture shows you how to arrange them. Put three end to end then put two right on top of them. the pic shows the two top sticks like this just so you see the five sticks, you place the two sticks right on top of the three then tape them.
Here is my catapult arm completed.
Now make the catapult cup out of paper. Here is a template of how to cut it out. All dimensions are either one inch or one half inch. Draw this out on paper and cut it out. Fold it along the dotted lines to form a cup and tape it into shape. Then tape it to the arm of your catapult. Don't tape it to the end of the arm, affix it about an inch from the end so you have room to press down the arm with your finger.
Here is the paper cup taped onto the end of the catapult. Use plenty of tape and make it nice and strong.
Now wrap one end of the rubber band around the catapult arm just under the cup and tape it firmly in place.
Using a couple of pieces of tape connect the other end of the catapult arm to the place where the three triangles meet. This is a bit tricky to do but do your best and try to secure the catapult arm firmly. But it has to move freely. Think of the tape as being a kind of a hinge. If you want to get creative you could use a paper clip by drilling a hole in the capapult arm and putting the paper clip through it so it moves freely then taping the other end of the paperclip to where the three triangles meet.
Here is a stick that I drilled a hole into and placed the paperclip through. This end will freely rotate and the loose ends shown here will be taped to the catapult where the three triangles meet. This will make a strong yet very free flowing pivot point.
The only thing left to do now is to wrap the other end of the rubber band around the top of the catapult and tape it firmly into place. If you do not have a large rubber band you can chain a group of small ones together then use them. Experiment with the rubber bands and get a power set up that you like.
Congratulations! Your Popsicle Stick Catapult is complete. Now fire it off and have some fun.
Experimenting with the catapult. I was pretty happy with the results just from this basic design and I didn't have to tinker with anything to get the catapult to really fire off some projectiles. You can tinker with this and get it to fire further. Some things you can do are change the length of the catapult arm and change the rubber band.
Here is another popsicle stick catapult you might be interested in. It is a little bit more of a challenge but it looks more like a traditional catapult.

All you'll need is glue, scissors and a steady hand to construct this wooden, Canadian-made siege engine kit. The finished catapult stands 6" tall x 5" wide x 10" long and will toss assorted stuff (meatballs?) 15 feet or further, depending upon the stuff. Comes with detailed instructions.
The Miniature Trebuchet - The trebuchet was the ultimate artillery weapon of the medieval period and early renaissance. A large and unwieldy weapon, it was typically built on-site during battle, and tuned to lob great weights - such as the carcasses of rotting horses and pots of burning pitch, over the castle walls and onto its inhabitants. This is our newest and smallest trebuchet design in a long line of catapult kits. Designed by master trebuchet expert Ron Toms, this machine is ideal for the student on a budget or as a wonderful display piece for any desktop or bookshelf of any history enthusiast. Precision carved by computer controlled machinery for guaranteed fit and accurate joinery. The detailed instructions include loads of photos of each step of the construction process, tuning tips and safety notes. Included in the kit are four wooden projectiles, all the necessary components for the sling, trigger, and counterweight bucket as well as all the parts for the kit. The only thing you'll need to supply are 64 pennies for counterweight and a few simple tools - Scissors, a ruler, a utility knife, wood glue and a few rubber bands to hold the pieces together while the glue dries. Tools required: Scissors, Glue, Ruler, rubber bands and a utility
Popsicle sticks have been a staple of easy and creative fun for as long as there have been popsicles. A little glue, paint or other things can really set the creative wheels in motion. Here is a book of more projects with craft sticks

Jauwan Scaife Honored by College Sports Madness
MUNCIE, Ind. -- College Sports Madness selected Ball State senior guard Jauwan Scaife as its Mid-American Conference Player of the Week on Monday.
Scaife scored 18 points Saturday and knocked down a deep, game-winning 3-pointer in the final second of Ball State's 85-82 win at Southeast Missouri. The senior guard also added five assists and grabbed three rebounds in the BracketBusters victory.
Scaife scored 14 of his points after halftime, including seven in the final 1:33. He shot 4-of-6 from the floor, 2-of-2 from 3-point range and 4-of-4 from the free throw line in the second half.
After a SEMO rally tied the score at 82-82 with 7 seconds left, Scaife brought the ball up the floor, used a screen from Tyler Koch and calmly buried a 25-footer from the right wing with 0.3 seconds on the clock.
He led four Cardinals in double-figures for the game, followed by Marcus Posley with 15 points, Matt Kamieniecki with 12 and Chris Bond with 11. Kamieniecki and Bond both finished with double-doubles.
Scaife, who is scoring 14.8 points per game for the season and 18.2 in conference play, is averaging 21.4 points over his past seven games. He was selected by the league office last week as the MAC West Division Player of the Week.
Ball State returns to MAC play Wednesday with the first of four remaining regular-season games. The Cardinals will host Central Michigan for a 7 p.m. tipoff at Worthen Arena.

The early season has been banner for conditions and, like the cycling, the skinny ski community 'round here is awesome. Trails are groomed almost daily and peeps are enthused and just happy to be oot and aboot, as we say it here.
I have noticed some roadie like behaviour, though. How can you pass someone doing the same thing as you, at the exact same time, within feet of the same place, and not acknowledge. I'm not asking for hug and ski geek out, but a nod and perchance a flicker of a smile. F@ck 'em, I say. I'll look forward to ruining the loppet for every one.
Bike Shorts is madly spinning towards it's 2010 showing. This is going down The Bellhouse in Brooklyn on February 28th. I won't be there as I'm way short on air miles and street credit (I don't even abbreviate it properly). But, I will look forward to reports from Sucka Pants and RTMS. Info for locals here and here.
I haven't been on to update in so long that I didn't even do an Xmas booty breakdown. I got this and this. Christmas didn't suck at all this year, but I'm still pretty sure I'm screwing off to milder climes next year.
The Aeropress (this #1) is really crazy. The coffee is good. Really good. I thought it would be great for camping and similar outdoor pursuits of happiness, but I use it everyday. Quick, easy, tasty! Though, I don't know how comfortable I am with supporting the sordid habits of a guy like Alan Adler, Inventor.
Regarding the 1st generation Jones H-bar (this #2) , Holy Sweet Jebus! Craiger has totally outdone himself with this. All I got him was a half pound of medium roasted Haitian Peaberry from Jonnie. I'm not sure if Ti naturally vibrates or if that's me shaking with excitement every time I touch it. Either way it's magical stuff.
If we can hang on to our ice here, there will be an Ice Cross Race at the Rotary Park, Dieppe, NB.
If not it will just be a regular cross race. I'll take it!

Well done to the whole team, including those that weren't with us today. Thanks in particular to the boys that didn't get as much pitch time today as well, the hardest position. As we said in the the original Cheshire Cup email, those that didn't get as much pitch time today will get more at the Wilmslow Festival next week.
So, the first game was against Old Parkonians, an unknown force we'd not played before. While we weren't under pressure in this one, it was our typical shaky start. Tries from Tom Simms, Tom Hack & Elliot saw us win 3-0, with success in getting everyone on. A bit slow to the ruck & tentative in attack, but we were just warming up.
Unfortunately Dukinfield had dropped out, so we had one group game less than expected, which didn't help in getting more players out onto the pitch. For Lymm B, we went for muscle & put Alastair & Marcus on at outside centre & wing. Starting to find our stride, this was a much better game. We out rucked Lymm and were able to win 4-0, with tries from Tom Hack (x2), Sam S and Ben Abbott.
Through to the knock out stages of the Cheshire Cup, there would be no easy games now. Our quarter final was against Chester, who had also yet to concede a try. With the boys fired up, we started hard and again, dominated the rucks. Our defence was great and the whole of the first half was camped inside Chester's territory. With a 5m scrum, Sam S ran around the blindside to break through to score what was to be only try. The second half remained tight, but we held on well without too much danger.
So, the semi final was to be against Lymm A. We had kept the starting line up unchanged since Lymm B for consistency. The boys were fired up for what was to be a great game of rugby, as ever. We more than held our own through the first half and looked like we could score on one or two occasions, but Lymm defended well and stopped us getting through. Equally, our defence was strong and Lymm were unable to break our line. Six minutes down it was 0-0 at half time. The second half started equally tight, but Lymm made a successful break and escaped down the left wing to score. The boys thought they had pushed him out on the way down (and maybe they did?). Either way it was the first decent break from either team and was a game changer - now Lymm would win if we drew, as the first try counts in a decider, so we needed 2 tries in 2 mins. A strong restart that got us to the 5m line, but no further. Then a great tackle from Alastair that saw him take one of Lymm's players (Harry Sheil for those that know him) clean off his feet. With seconds to go Lymm made another break to win 2-0 on the final whistle.
So, our Cheshire Cup was over. A great day, but only 4 games that took us to the brink of the final. In the last tournament at Stockport, we beat Lymm, again with the game won from the first try. Today, it was always going to be the first score, but it was Lymm that took victory. For what it's worth, Lymm went on the win the final against Sandbach and said we were their toughest opponents all day. Oh well, there's always next week!
Well done boys.

88 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - September/October 2009
($20) Pale, bright yellow. Penetrating aromas of pink grapefruit, lime, orange blossom and tarragon, with hints of capsicum and asparagus emerging with air. Juicy and racy but not hard, with a chewy, sappy texture and decent density to the grapefruit pith, pineapple, pepper and herbal flavors. There's a varietally expressive herbaceousness here but not enough to overwhelm the wine's fruit. (E. & J. Gallo, Modesto, CA)
