Crucial errors send Texans to loss [5:23 AM]
Galveston Daily News reports: 'Houston, focused in on stopping Bledsoe, allowed Henry to rush for a career-high 159 yards and a pair of touchdowns. But some of that yardage came after missed tackles � Henry broke two tackles on a 23-yard third-quarter touchdown run � as did the Bills final touchdown.'
Another Houston allows Buffalo to steal victory [5:22 AM]
Port Arthur News reports: 'Giving Drew Bledsoe -- especially the Drew Bledsoe of this season -- a fresh set of downs, is like giving a hard-hitting baseball team four outs. It's a sure-fire way to get burned and Bledsoe, who had been held reasonably in check for three quarters, torched the Texans.'
Buffalo comes from behind to beat another Houston team [5:21 AM]
Conroe Courier reports: '"We knes that we'd have to be aggressive because they'd played three games in overtime," Houston coach Dom Capers said. "We talked all week about we might have to win on the last play of the game. The most frustrating thing is we had a couple of penalties that really hurt."'
Grant Irons makes a successful return to Houston [5:20 AM]
Conroe Courier reports: 'Irons had plenty of fans rooting for him at the game, including his parents, grandmother, brother and other friends from The Woodlands. "He was able to get twenty-eight tickets, so he had a big group here," said Grant's father, Gerald, a former NFL player who is a CISD school board member and an employee of The Woodlands Operating Company. "We had our company-wide tailgate party today. About fifty people came in on the bus from The Woodlands Operating Company. Everybody is excited at the company."'
Buffalo, Houston conjure up past memories [5:19 AM]
Huntsville Item reports: 'Some of Sunday's mistakes can be attributed to inexperience and enthusiasm. But taunting a team after you have made the play that stops their momentum is foolish. To then rough a player on the very next play is inexcusable.'
Bills post-game quotebook [11:32 PM]
Shout! reports: Gregg Williams on the Bills' defense: "We really came out and played suffocating for most of the second half. There were only 34, 35 yards gained in the second half until their last drive. And then we had chances and they made some very good plays."
Mike Doser: Bills clamp down on Texans, win 31-24 [11:32 PM]
Shout! reports: In reality, the victory was only satisfying because it enabled Buffalo (3-3) to move into a second-place tie with the Patriots, who dropped their third in a row. And it was satisfying because, let's face it, wins have not come all that often during Gregg Williams' tenure, so any time the Bills can win, that's satisfying.
Mike Doser: Reliving Price's game-winning TD [11:31 PM]
Shout! reports: Bills' ball, third and 6 from the Houston 26, four minutes, 2 seconds remaining in the game, game tied at 24.

Costly penalties sink young Texans [9:51 PM]
ESPN reports: Houston defense on the ensuing series had stopped the Bills (3-3) on third down at the Buffalo 34 when Jay Foreman, an ex-Bill traded to Houston, lost his cool.
"I take full responsiblity," Foreman said. "I shouldn't have done that. I'm not even that kind of person or player... I don't know what happened and I don't know why. I still can't believe it. That was a selfish play. I feel real bad."

Buffalo rallies to a 31-24 victory [5:08 PM]
Houston Texans reports: 'With about two minutes remaining in the game, the Texans put together an exciting drive after a 15-yard roughing the passer penalty kept their crusade alive.

O'Shei's Three Keys to the Game [12:36 PM]

Texans look for second win [10:55 AM]
Galveston Daily News reports: 'Despite Drew Bledsoe�s offensive heroics, the Bills haven�t allowed fewer than 27 points in a game this season. �That would be fun,� said Houston quarterback David Carr of a potential shootout against Buffalo. �I would welcome that. I�m used to scoring a lot of points, especially the last couple of years at Fresno State. I like those kinds of games."'
Bills remember lesson in Texans' history [9:31 AM]

Key matchup [9:28 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Pitts has the size (6-4, 320) to overpower the 6-4, 265-pound Schobel in the running game. But Schobel has the speed and athleticism to take advantage of Pitts' limited quickness and lateral movement in pass-rushing situations.'

Plants vs Zombies Review
The basic gameplay isn't exactly original, but it's been executed so well on the Xbox 360 that it absolutely needs to be in your collection.
PopCap Games should be a household name for gamers. If you haven't played Peggle you're seriously missing out, and Bejeweled has eaten up far more time than I care to say. Plants Vs Zombies has already done the business on PC, Mac and iPhone, and now Xbox 360 owners can see why a game about plants is so utterly brilliant. PopCap's latest is a title so packed full of quality and charm that we can't think of anyone who'd play it and not find themselves hopelessly addicted.
In truth, the game isn't hugely original. You play yourself, an ordinary guy or girl whose house happens to be under attack from zombies. It's your everyday scenario really, and it just so happens that you've got an army of plant-based weapons and soldiers to help you out - hence the game's title. What we've got here is more or less a tower defence game. Your house is on the left of the play area, a grid sits in the middle - on which you can plant your weapons - and the zombies stagger from right to left in an attempt to munch through the flora and get to the front door.
Your goal in each level is to prevent the zombie horde from reaching the house, but it's not easy. Firstly you'll need sun, which as any good gardener knows is essential for plant growth. The sun appears as collectable tokens from a number of sources: daylight levels provide you with a small but steady stream of sun, sunflowers produce sun during day and night levels, and sun-shrooms (a kind of mushroom) produce sun during the night. Collected sun is added to your overall sun stockpile, which can then be used to plant various weaponised plants on the game grid.
There's an RTS-style cool-down period for each plant type too, so you can't just build up lots of sun and then spam-plant loads of the most powerful weapon type. Collecting sun tokens is easier than I expected it to be using an Xbox 360 controller, with the cursor semi-free to move while also snapping lightly to the grid.
Early on you're going to have to make do with the basic Pea Shooter (a kind of bog standard long-range fixed weapon), the useful Wall-nut (a living wall who gets sadder and sadder as he's eaten away) and the Cherry Bomb (a close proximity explosive that goes off more or less as it's planted), but before too long there's a whole heap of plant types on offer and a varied selection of zombies on the warpath. You'll have Potato Mines, Snow Peas (which slow down enemies), Chompers (zombie eating monstrosities), Repeaters (dual-pea firing gun) and a whole host of fungi weapons that can only be used at night - some being completely free in terms of sun cost.

Tuesday, June 10, 2014
High schools across the Lowcountry handed out diplomas to thousands of deserving students who are facing bright futures. Some chose college, some chose the military and some chose the workforce. All earned their diplomas or certificates as a result of hard work and determination. The Moultrie News is proud to feature each valedictorian and salutatorian from East Cooper schools.
Bishop England
Kimberly Elizabeth Beth Dutour was named valedictorian for Bishop England High School Class of 2014.
She is the daughter of William and Lili Dutour. Beth received the first Honor Graduate Award and will attend the University of Alabama in Huntsville for aerospace engineering. Beth was a member of the SGA, Retreat Team, National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta, Drama Club, Bellas and Library Book Club. She is a member of St. Theresa the Little Flower Catholic Church and has served as an altar server, lector, member of the choir and a cantor. Beth received scholarships from Clemson, University of Alabama in Huntsville and Charleston Southern University.
Dutour has lived in South Carolina her entire life and is from Summerville. Before Bishop England, she attended Summerville Catholic Elementary and Middle School.
Her decision to study aerospace engineering came from her adoration of her physics class teacher. He was amazing, she said, and it was a very fun class. I like math and science blended together to perfection and physics has always interested me. I felt like space was the best mix of the two, she explained.
Dutour has always loved reading and has been heavily involved in drama. She performed in seven of the eight productions in high school had the lead role in the fall in Rehearsal for Murder.
Dutour said her mother is her mentor for many reasons.
Whether it be her commitment to transport her to and from school or her encouragement late at night while she studied.
She was always there, always encouraging me. She was kind of a role model because she too was valedictorian of her high school senior class and that motivated me. Ive always kind of been on top, and when youre in class with me, you know Im one of the smart ones.
But more importantly, Dutour really wanted this for herself.
Academics do not come easily to anyone. And the more I applied myself, the more I sacrificed free time and hanging out with friends. I worked hard, stayed up late, got up early and just spent a lot of time studying and doing homework. It definitely came at a cost.
Dutour, a lover of profound quotes is partial to those embracing happiness.
Try to be happy, she said. Find things that make you happy and follow those.
One particular quote she likes, by Leo Tolstoy, is If you want to be happy, be.
We have choice to or not. I choose to be happy, she said. Everyone around me has given me a smile when I am having a bad day. And those little smiles or words of encouragement have helped me more than anyone can know.
Regan Van Metre was named salutatorian at Bishop England for the class of 2014.
She is the daughter of Christopher and Rosemary Van Metre. Van Metre received the second Honor Graduate Award and will attend Clemson Universitys Calhoun Honors program and will major in bioengineering. She was involved with Bishop Englands varsity soccer, varsity swim team as well as National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta, Band of Buddies, B.E. Ambassadors and served as a student tutor. Van Metre is a member of St. Benedict Catholic Church. She received scholarships from Clemson University: Palmetto Pact, Presidential, STEM Scholarship as well as the Dolphin Scholarship.
She has lived in Mount Pleasant since she was nine years old, settling there in the fourth grade.
Before her dad retired from the Navy, they moved around a lot.
Van Metre is the youngest of three. She has an older brother and an older sister, both of whom she considers her mentors.
My brother is one of the best people I have ever known. He sets standards very high for me as far as being a person and a leader, she said. He has been a great example to me.
He is currently in California serving in the Navy.
My sister is one of the smartest people Ive ever met, she said.
She is commissioned in the Navy as well and will attend the Medical University of South Carolina in the fall.
My brother is more of the athlete and my sister, for example, was valedictorian of her high school class both of which set the bar high for me, said Van Metre.
This kind of academic success wasnt a goal for Van Metre per se, but her parents have always been her primary motivation in doing the best that she could do, she explained.
Ive been really blessed to be able to understand and connect well with material. I was gifted, but I worked hard. I have been blessed, but it didnt come without hard work, she said.
The Bishop England Catholic education had a great impact on Van Metre and her life philosophy.
One of those guiding influences for her was to act as if it makes a difference and it does, she said.

Q: How long should my suit jacket sleeves be? And how much shirt cuff should I be showing? I've asked around and heard everything from no cuff showing to 1 inch of cuff showing. – Terrance M.
A: Your suit jacket / blazer sleeve should end right above the top of your wrist bone (or the hinge of your wrist). However, in order to show the proper amount of shirt cuff based on the correct jacket sleeve length, your shirt sleeve length must obviously fit correctly; a properly fitting shirt sleeve should end at the base of your hand. Once these two are properly fitted, you'll notice that naturally some shirt sleeve cuff will show. The general rule of thumb is that you want to show 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch of shirt cuff, so feel free to adjust your garments to achieve your desired look.
Why is a "minor" detail like this so important? Showing no sleeve may have the visual effect of making your jacket sleeves look sloppily too long on you while showing too much cuff may have the visual effect your jacket sleeves are comically too short on you – both will betray the powerful effect of the superb fit you're going for. A proper relationship between jacket sleeve length and shirt sleeve length suggests a man who is in control of his appearance and knows that a pleasing aesthetic is comprised of these "minor" details. So while sartorial matters such as these may seem insignificant, it is the perfection of these details that will enhance your image immediately. See below for visual examples:
A note on wearing watches: If you wear a watch, make sure you leave enough space under your cuff to accommodate the typical watch you would wear with that shirt. A shirt cuff should be able to go over and cover some of your watch when your arms are relaxed at your sides.
Got more questions about proper suit jacket sleeve length? or any other suit/style-related questions you'd like us to answer for our next "Ask a Black Lapel Stylist" post? Leave a comment below or send us your questions at firstname.lastname@example.com!

I am using Studio June Sock Yarn from her 2011 Sock Club. Yes, I have a sock obsession and I'm not afraid to admit it. I was buying sock yarn long before I was knitting socks and now I am finally starting to put a dent in my bin of sock yarn. Since I picked such a colorful yarn to knit with, I decided to ignore the stripes. I am very pleased with how this sock is turning out and hopefully by Sunday I will be casting on it's mate.
|Yes, I actually knit a swatch
I've also been spinning up some lovely yarn. I've dyed some new fibers that I have in my Etsy Shop of Wonder. I have this Merino/Bamboo/Nylon blend that I've been spinning up which has been a lot of fun.
I also have been spinning 100% Cormo. It's the first time I've ever spun Cormo. My friend Char owns Corm 24-7 and I finally got some of my roving to spin. It is lovely. I'm on the second bobbin so so I shall be plying.
So...that's been my week. I haven't been busy at all ;-) Not at all. Share your adventures in Fiber Arts!

Football announcers love describing players as "forces of nature," but it might actually be the fans who exert the most force. This past Monday, when the Seattle Seahawks faced off against the New Orleans Saints, Seahawks fans actually caused a minor earthquake.
Seahawks fans jumping up and down during Monday night's 22-yard Michael Bennett fumble return for a touchdown registered about a magnitude 1 or 2 earthquake.
They call the crowd at CentiryLink Field the "12th Man," but this is the first time that man has caused an earthquake that anybody knows of. People aren't generally sensitive enough to feel earthquakes that small; seismographs are. (For comparison, a 2.6 magnitude quake in Ireland this week rattled some doors.)
What people are sensitive to, though, is noise. Seattle has long been proud of their stadium and fans ability to be loud. And not only did Seattle fans make the earth shake, they also made each other deaf. Fans apparently set a noise record of 137.6 decibels, according to KIRO-TV.

The news reports were quite disturbing: Two shot in Tallahassee; a couple run over in a parking lot in Washington; pepper spray needed to disperse an unruly crowd in Michigan. As much as these stories may sound like the scenes predicted by current apocalyptic doomsayers, they are not. They are, unfortunately, the increasingly common reports from the mayhem unleashed on Black Friday.
In full disclosure, shopping is not my favorite activity. Therefore, I guess my opinion of our country's annual day of shopping is certain to be negatively skewed. But my real concern for this day is not simply the hundreds of millions of hours spent shopping or the billions of dollars spent. My concern is what this buying-crazed, fight-inducing, greed-provoking day has come to symbolize in our country ... the start of the Christmas season!
Each year it seems like "the battle to save Christmas" is focused on where Nativity scenes are — and are not — allowed to be set up. While I love Nativity scenes, I think there is a much more serious concern for the church to address.
The church has unwittingly been duped into forgetting when its Christmas season begins — and also when it ends. Just to be clear, no matter how persuasive retailers try to be, Black Friday is not the beginning of the Christmas season, and no matter how depressing it may momentarily feel when the last present under the tree is unwrapped, it does not signal the end of the Christmas season.
For thousands of years, the Church's "Christmas season" has been comprised of two periods of time: The season of Advent and the season of Christmastide. The season of Advent begins four Sundays before Christmas day and ends on Christmas Eve night. Christmastide then starts on Christmas morning and lasts for 12 days until the day of Epiphany when the wise men arrive.
That being said, I am not one who feels compelled to rotely follow church tradition simply because that's the way things have always been done. However, I think a return to some tradition could do the church good. It might just shift us a bit further away from consumerism and a bit closer to Christ.
I believe this shift could have an illuminating effect not only for the church this Christmas season, but also for a world that sometimes seems so dark. Christmas lights are not the only things that are supposed to bring light into the world this time of the year.
In my church's tradition, there are four candles we will be lighting over the next four Sundays as we prepare for the advent or "coming" of Jesus on Christmas day. These candles represent four themes: hope, joy, peace and love. These four candles are not just sentimental. They have profound theological implications for the way Christians throughout the centuries have understood, and responded to, the birth of Jesus the Christ. We believe these candles light the path toward a new way for humanity to live together and to be united with God.
And I think unity is something our world desperately needs.
So in the midst of the hurt, pain and suffering that so often times seems to fill our world, I hope this year the church will not be distracted by petty arguments about plastic figurines or deluded by the allure of unbeatable sales. Instead, as we wait for the coming of the Prince of Peace, I hope we can prepare ourselves to keep the candles of hope, joy, peace and love, burning brightly throughout the rest of the year.

Review Details
Stainless Steel Baby Dish Set, FroggyProduct Rating: Product Review (submitted on January 2, 2011):
Bought this for my boy a couple of years ago. The seal between the plastic outer and the steel interior was less than perfect and it immediately took on water. My kids love them, the pieces are still very functional, but fairly heavy because of the layer of water held inside.
A note from the bynature.ca team: Thank you for your review! Holding water between the layers usually occurs when this product is put into the dishwasher. Please note that it is recommended this dish set is hand-washed only. If the washing instructions are followed, this should not occur and would be considered a defect. Please don't hesitate to contact us if we can help further!

she wasn't a real satanist though, if you read the satanic bible or just anything about Anton Lavey you will see that they don't kill people and kind off just mind their own business. these are just sick people.

Listen up bro, god didn't write the bible. It was written long ago by who ******* knows. The thing that's important is that Adam and Eve's lives went to **** after they ate the fruit. They had to work in the wilderness, farm for crops, were regularly hit with famine, and had tons of thorns in their farms that would scratch their ankles. God forced them out of the garden because they directly defied his orders. He didn't want to do that, but he had to because he had already laid down the rules. Satan specifically did this to spite god, and if not just for his personal amusement. Overall, it seems that everyone would have benefited from that not happening. Satan also received punishment and was forever given a bad name among humans. Satan must have known that ******* with God would get him punished. He did it for ***** and giggles, not for "independence" or to be "the hero in the dark".
#90 to #89 - zzforrest (09/11/2013) [-]
No, you pretty much said what everyone knows. "Adam and eve were given fruits by this satan dude and god was like NUH UH and yeah." is pretty much what you said. Yeah it was in the bible, but it was oversimplified to a stupid level that's actually far from the proper meaning of the story.

Watch 1980s video clip of WWUH in the News!
When the University of Hartford was incorporated just over 50 years ago by business and community leaders, they envisioned a center of education and culture for Greater Hartford. At its core, it would be a university for the community created by the community.
The University has come a long way since its humble beginnings on Hartford's last remaining farm, evolving from a local school for commuters into a comprehensive university that attracts students from throughout the world. Yet it remains true to its original mission of serving as a valued resource for individuals, families, businesses, and communities throughout the Hartford region, offering hundreds of programs that serve the University and its neighbors every day. For over 45 years listener supported WWUH has served an important role in the University's community service mission.

COLUMBIANA - City police officers and County Sheriff's deputies made four arrests Saturday in two separate incidents.
Deputy Willie Coleman responded to a Columbiana-Lisbon Road home at 1:45 a.m. after Darrin Waselich reported seeing two people outside attempting to steal scrap aluminum.
As Coleman was on his way to the home Waselich reported the two had fled south on state Route 164, according to sheriff's report.
Coleman requested police assistance and, according to reports, Columbiana Patrolman Mark Edwards located the men in a Ford Ranger pickup truck and conducted a felony traffic stop just south of Lodge Road.
Edwards told the driver, Richard E. Dennison Jr., 32, Fair Avenue, Salem, to exit the vehicle for a pat-down search and Coleman did the same to passenger Justin T. Dennison, 29, Longs Crossing Road, Leetonia. The handcuffed men were then placed in the sheriff's cruisers while the truck was searched. Police uncovered a pair of wire cutters, bolt cutters, a handsaw and a small dolly in the bed of the truck, according to the report.
Richard Dennison reportedly told Coleman he and Justin had dropped a woman off at work in Columbiana and stopped at the Columbiana-Lisbon Road home after seeing scrap there. He said they fled when a man came outside and fired a gun.
Police charged the men at 2:48 a.m. and transported them to the county jail. Deputy Brandon Hoppel also assisted with the arrests.
At 11:34 p.m. Hoppel and other deputies were dispatched to the 2500 block of Middleton Road after Randy McCall, Kelly Park Road, reported suspicious activity.
McCall told deputies his son saw a car turn around in his driveway so he used his night vision binoculars to look outside and saw two people walking around the back of his home.
He said he then got into his vehicle, found the car parked in the Crestview school parking lot and spoke to the female driver.
The woman told him she had a flat tire and was waiting for her mother to come get her, McCall said, according to the report.
McCall added he drove to a nearby area to watch the vehicle and saw it pull from the school and stop in front of his home and pick up two passengers, at which point he called police. He said he then followed the vehicle and trapped it at the dead end of Bittersweet Drive.
City police and sheriff's deputies located the car and spoke with the driver, Courtney Wilson, 21, Brittany Lane, Salem, and the two passengers, Robert J. Zuch, 25, state Route 170, Negley, and Matthew J. Bernard, 31, U.S. 30, Minerva.
The three gave similar but inaccurate accounts of the situation when questioned by police, the report stated.
Zuch and Bernard were charged with trespassing at 1:33 a.m. Sunday and Wilson was released to a ride and her vehicle towed. During an inventory of the vehicle police uncovered two work belts and some small rolls of wire, according to the report.
The report also stated that deputies later learned from a "reputable source" the group had been out to climb cell phone towers for the copper wiring.
Hoppel noted in the report that no copper wiring from cell phone towers was reported stolen.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — A kid for Kimye: Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are expecting their first child.
The rapper announced at a concert Sunday night that his girlfriend is pregnant. Kardashian was in the crowd at Revel Resort's Ovation Hall with her mother, Kris Jenner, and West's mentor and best friend, Jay-Z. West told the crowd of more than 5,000 in song form: "Now you having my baby."
The crowd roared. And so did people on the Internet.
The news instantly went viral on Twitter and Facebook, with thousands posting and commenting on the expecting couple.
Kardashian chimed in herself today on her website: "It's true!! Kanye and I are expecting a baby. We feel so blessed and lucky and wish that in addition to both of our families, his mom and my dad could be here to celebrate this special time with us. Looking forward to great new beginnings in 2013 and to starting a family. Happy New Year!!! Xo."
Most of the Kardashian clan also tweeted about the news, including Kim's sisters. Kourtney Kardashian wrote: "Another angel to welcome to our family. Overwhelmed with excitement!"
West, 35, also told concertgoers to congratulate his "baby mom" and that this was the "most amazing thing."
Representatives for West and Kardashian, 32, didn't immediately respond to emails about the pregnancy.
The rapper and reality TV star went public in March. Kardashian married NBA player Kris Humphries in August 2011 and their divorce is not finalized.
West's Sunday-night show was his third consecutive performance at Revel. He took the stage for nearly two hours, performing hits like "Good Life," ''Jesus Walks" and "Clique" in an all-white ensemble with two bandmates.

Over the past week, I've tried to predict the 53 players who would make the New England Patriots roster in an "if the season started today" scenario.
Here were the lucky 53. Players in bold are ones whose contracts and/or production render them essentially loster rocks, barring injuries:
Part 1: Offensive Skill Positions
QB (3): Tom Brady, Brian Hoyer, Ryan Mallett
RB (3): Stevan Ridley, Shane Vereen, Danny Woodhead
FB (1): Spencer Larsen
TE (3): Daniel Fells, Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez
WR (6): Deion Branch, Julian Edelman, Brandon Lloyd, Matthew Slater, Donté Stallworth, Wes Welker
OL (9): Marcus Cannon, Dan Connolly, Robert Gallery, Logan Mankins, Nick McDonald, Nate Solder, Sebastian Vollmer, Brian Waters, Ryan Wendell
Part 3: Defensive Line/Linebackers
DL (6): Ron Brace, Brandon Deaderick, Jonathan Fanene, Kyle Love, Myron Pryor, Vince Wilfork
LB (9): Markell Carter, Jermaine Cunningham, Dane Fletcher, Jerod Mayo, Rob Ninkovich, Trevor Scott, Brandon Spikes, Jeff Tarpinian, Tracy White
CB (5): Will Allen, Kyle Arrington, Ras-I Dowling, Devin McCourty, Sterling Moore
S (5): Josh Barrett, Sergio Brown, Patrick Chung, Steve Gregory, Ross Ventrone
ST (3): Danny Aiken, Stephen Gostkowski, Zoltan Mesko
For various reasons, some of the players above will not make the roster. The most obvious reason is that the Patriots currently have six draft picks in the first four rounds of the draft. Historically, the Patriots have not used all of their early picks, and it's not at all a given they'll do so this year.
On the other hand, in the Belichick era, essentially every player drafted in the first four rounds has made the opening day roster his rookie season (albeit sometimes on injured reserve, as Tyrone McKenzie did in 2009).
So let's look at some players whose roster spots aren't a given this fall.

Genuine Leather Upper
Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
The Leo slip on tap shoes are the required shoe for our competition team. We've used these for the past 3 years. The shoes look amazing on vs. an oxford style. Our team does toe stands and complex footwork with them with little issues. I can't speak on the tone or sound as the dancers are mostly on marley flooring. Which I think is horrible for tap. They are durable but due to the elastic slip on - dancers can stretch this out and it can look horrible depending on how hard they are on the shoe & how old the shoe is. Size seems pretty true maybe go up a 1/2 size. Daughter is 12 with a street shoe 7.5. She was in a 7M (2 years) in this shoe and we're just ordering an 8W.

College President Guert Affenlight, a longtime bachelor, has fallen unexpectedly and helplessly in love…

(by min, single mother of teens)
My son's band had a gig this week-end.
They are not quite organized yet , they are missing two members and they've only written one song that they can play without a bass guitarist and a vocalist, but all things considered, the 'concert' went well.
They were invited to play at a party that was being held by a neighborhood apartment complex. There was no particular occasion for the party it was a communal thing with birthday cakes for various tenants and a turkey in honor of Thanksgiving and a whole bunch of potluck provided by the guests.
There was a pretty good turn-out and after everyone was full of turkey, cake and Jello salad, they all gathered to hear the boys play.
The guests were of all ages.
…but they were a very attentive and encouraging audience.
Here are some of the younger groupies getting into the party spirit while the band was warming up.
I think these guys were the biggest fans.
Here is Colossal in action:
Can you spot Reggie?
Here's the band on break:
Reggie just couldn't resist showing off his broken toe. That toe has gotten a lot of attention this week. I'll bet if it had its own website, Reggie's little toe would be getting more hits than Britney Spears.
Between their one song and a lot of improvising, the music proved to be the best part of the party (much better than TRANSFORMERS which someone put on a television in another room).
Colossal's next 'gig' is going to be at Fitzgerald's in December. They're having a 'battle of the bands'. They are hoping by then to have a repertoire of ten songs. Of course, I'll be there (I have the van), and Violet and Grandma are going too. I'm sure Grandma will love it.
By the way, does anybody play bass guitar or know how to carry a tune? I know a band that's hiring.

Former Stratford High School teammates Matt Wieters and Justin Smoak held a reunion in Seattle on Monday night, and it was memorable for both.
Wieters hit a two-run home run in the fourth inning for the Orioles, but Smoak went 2 for 4 with a double, and his Mariners won by 6-2 before 9,818 fans, the smallest crowd in Safeco Field history.
Smoak, plagued recently by back and leg stiffness, played designated hitter and raised his average to .223. Wieters was 1 for 3 and is batting .214.
Elsewhere for Lowcountry players in pro baseball on Monday:
• Centerfielder Brett Gardner (Holly Hill, College of Charleston) went 2 for 4 and scored a run, but the Yankees gave up 17 hits and were pounded, 9-1, by the Astros.
In the minors:
• First baseman Chris McGuiness (James Island, The Citadel) was 0 for 2 but walked three times in Class AAA Round Rock's 10-9 win over Iowa. McGuiness is batting .214.
• Pitcher Drew Cisco (Wando HS) pitched seven innings and got the win in Class A Dayton's 6-5 win over Burlington. Cisco gave up six hits and four earned runs, walking none and striking out three. For the season, he's 2-1 with a 3.000 ERA and just one walk against 30 strikeouts.
• Pitcher John Cornely (Bishop England HS, Wofford) pitched one inning against Winston-Salem, giving up three hits, two earned runs and a home run. He's 0-0 with an 8.10 ERA in three appearances for Class A Lynchburg.

Running through options in my mind, I would say that yes you can sub hwc for coconut milk in most all recipes (except, as you indicate, for specific flavor profiles).
Question though: does your wife dislike coconut FLAVOR or the taste of coconut? I hate banana flavor (that fake crapola) but love the taste of bananas.

Codorus Creek Trophy Trout Section 4/7/07
2006/11/5 16:58
From York
Posts: 14
Spent a couple hours on the Codorus this morning. Caught one small brown on a san juan worm, that's it.
Seems to be a problem with the water flow on the creek. Was clear and running normal when I got there at 9:30a.m., by 10:30 it got cloudy, and by 11 it was brown. My buddy and I walked the creek to see if we could find what was causing the muddy water, but it seemed to be the entire way to the spill way. By 1pm, it started to clear again.
This is the third time this has happened to me on the Codorus in the past two weeks. I bumped into a fish commission officer down near Seven Valleys (they stocked the south branch today). He told me to call DEP and report the flow changes.
If anyone else has experienced this, or does in the next week or so, please drop me an email so I can follow up with DEP

I have had several problems with a new boat, Here is the storey.
I have been fishing for several years and was selected to be a part of the Triton Boat Pro Staff in 2006. I ordered a boat through The Sportsmens Edge in Paducah Ky in June of 2006 I took delivery in Feb 2007. At delivery there were a few problems (noted below) then a few weeks later there were several problems. I took it back to dealer weekly for several weeks due to a faulty sensor that could not be found. Then it was in the shop 17 weeks the first 18 mths I owned the boat. I have had a problem with the steering since day one it has been worked on numerous times the last time at the Triton Factory. After the steering totally locked up a few weeks after being at Triton Factory while fishing a tournament I have had it. I tried to Trade it in at the dealer where I bought it but was offered 9,000.00 less than I paid for it 6 mths earlier (Pro Staff deal must have been a good one). Looking back that would have been cheap to get out of this nightmare. This boat has been in the shop approx 1 out of every 5 days I have owned it. It has been in the shop at The Sportsmens Edge or the Triton Factory for all these repairs at least twice.

It takes practice to drive a chinewalking boat.when the boat starts to sway to the right,tug the steering wheell to the left gently,its kinda like stopping a ball swinging on a string.to stop it from swinging,you go the other way incrementally.I learned this technique from owning and driving Florida built storm bass boats.adding some weight In the front helps also,as does a fourblade trophy prop.weight distribution is very important in high performance boats.as is driving skill and knowledge.try to find someone that has the skills to drive your boat,and it will amaze you at how easy it really is.1 0 Reply

Jim on June 22, 2011,
the swing tongue for storage space probably doesn't have play in it, if so, your trailer is the only one to have play. I'm guessing what your feeling in your truck is the surge brake tongue releasing when you ***, I'm betting you feel a lurch. That's normal with surge brakes and will get better, less noticeable over time.

I know how tou feel. I can't list all the problems I have. I don't have enogh space.I have a 2004 Triton 186 Magnum w/150 Merc XR6. I wish had not bought it now. Problems with the dealer knowing how to fix it, the motor, the boat, and the trailer. Oh yea! I forgot the the trowling motor was wire backwards and on 12 volts. The heads on the motor have blown twice. Even though they warranty the heads with some talking, I had to pay for installation. On the boat the rod tubes broke. poor rivet job. The buttons on control panel went out. The livewell siphons completely if I push the pump-out and turn it back off or if I running on the water. Console buttons are out for the second time.Dealer can"t seem to find them. They try to fix it but now I have a leak. Have to install an automatic bilge pump to keep up with the problem. Had to have one weld job but the boat still leaks. still can't find it. Compartments leak. lost a lot of equipment due to moisture. Had to have the trailer welder on the bumper post. Its not heavy duty enough. Replaced the the tires after two months. Brought a new Motor from a different dealer. I got only a $4500 trade in. Should have traded in the Heads. They cost more. Still having more problems. I have to look at the bright side, I'm still fishing.0 0 Reply

One of the most solid and stable boats I have ever owned, but with that comes a very heavy tongue weight which is too much for the average person to lift. The swing back tongue is convenient for storage space but has a lot of play which transfers to the truck. The steering is also one of the hardest to turn I have ever experienced. Overall though, it's a great bass boat0 0 Reply

I have a 2010 triton 1657ss stick steer boat, the steering is ok at slow speeds but at higher speeds its like steering a manual steering mac truck, the boat dealers dont know how to fix the problem, did triton test these boats out before selling them to the public. im not the only one with this problem.2 0 Reply

There have been so many words devoted to Arsene Wenger's light spending record at Arsenal in print, in the digital universe and through pundits' mouths that it is pointless to attempt to summarize them here.
Essentially, many observers criticize Wenger for not getting out the checkbook in recent years, which has coincided with a slow dip in form and the absence of any major trophy since 2005.
With summer—and therefore transfer season—upon us once again, it's worth taking a look back through the archives and seeing all the players that Wenger has splashed the cash on during his long reign as Arsenal's manager.
Be advised that many fees are unofficial, as Arsenal does not usually release the exact amounts that they pay for players. These are simply based on what the greatest consensus is.

Polypharmacy is a major concern in older adults, yet a simple cross-sectional count of medications does not capture the potential complications (and benefits) that occur when medications are started, stopped, and changed over time. The increased complexity that arises from multiple medication changes may lead to problems with adherence and confusion about proper medication use.1,2 In addition, because adverse drug reactions often occur relatively soon after a patient begins taking a medication, recent medication changes may involve increased risk of adverse drug events.3 In this study, we sought to longitudinally measure medication changes in a national sample of older veterans as a measure of prescribing complexity in older adults.
We used US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) outpatient pharmacy data combined with VA and Medicare outpatient and inpatient claims data from fiscal year October 1, 2007, through September 30, 2008, to identify persons enrolled in the VA who were 65 years or older, received 1 or more long-term medications from the VA as of April 1, 2007, and were alive and continuing to receive medications from the VA more than 1 year later. We restricted the sample to patients who obtained 80% or more of their outpatient primary care and medicine subspecialty visits in the VA health system. We focused on medications intended for long-term, regular use, defined as medications dispensed with a supply of 25 or more days and no indication to use "as needed."
We defined 6 types of medication changes: Additions were medications that were not present at study baseline and were added over the following year. Restarts were similar to additions but were medications that had previously been used, were not present at baseline, and were subsequently restarted after an extended period of nonuse. Discontinuations were medications that were present during or beyond baseline but were subsequently not dispensed up through 6 months beyond the study period. Disruptions were interruptions of medication refills for 6 months or longer that were subsequently refilled. Dose changes reflected changes in the daily dose of a medication, and intraclass substitutions were replacement of a medication with another drug in the same drug class.
Among 350 415 veterans, the mean (SD) age was 74 (6) years; 98% were men; and 14% were hospitalized over the year of follow-up. At baseline, patients were using a median (interquartile range [IQR]) of 4 (3-6) chronic medications. One year later, patients were using the same median number of medications, with 77% of patients taking no greater than 1 more or 1 fewer drugs than 1 year earlier (Table).
Despite little change in the total number of medications, patients had a median (IQR) of 4 (2-7) medication changes over the 1-year study period. Overall, 88% of patients had at least 1 medication change, and 12% of patients had 10 or more medication changes (Figure). Additions were the most common type of change, being observed in 61% of patients, but other types of changes were common as well (Table).
The number of medications used at baseline was associated with the number of medications changed over the following year (incidence rate ratio, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.13-1.13) (eTable in Supplement). However, this association was not sufficiently robust that baseline medication use strongly predicted the subsequent rate of medication changes (Pearson correlation coefficient, 0.37) (eFigure in Supplement).
In this nationwide study, older adults often had multiple drugs started, stopped, or otherwise changed, with a median of 4 medication changes per patient over a 1-year period. In contrast, cross-sectional counts of the number of medications taken at baseline and 1 year were highly similar.
In older adults, a simple count of medications is often used to identify patients at elevated risk of medication-related problems (polypharmacy). However, this approach does not fully capture the true complexity of medication regimens and the potential for adverse events, patient and clinician confusion, and nonadherence that can arise when medications are started, stopped, and changed.4,5 It is important to note that multiple medication changes may often benefit patients as appropriate responses to changing patient circumstances, and the rate of medication changes should not be interpreted as a measure of quality of care. Future validation of our work is also needed. Nonetheless, the number of medication changes may serve as a novel, valuable, and readily measurable marker of patients at high risk of medication-related problems and may help identify patients who should be targeted for close attention and follow-up.

Choosing the right cruise can be confusing, especially with so many ships offering different itineraries, facilities and experiences. For example, if you're looking for something high octane with round-the-clock entertainment then a relaxing, educational sailing probably won't tick all the boxes, and vice versa. So, to help you along the way, we've put together a few pointers.
Best for families
With Disney-themed dining and clubs for kids from three months to late teens (not to mention Mickey Mouse), the Disney Cruise Line is always a good choice for families. The ships visit sunshine-spots in Europe, the US and the Caribbean.
Royal Caribbean is another good choice because of the plentiful children's activities on the Freedom Class and Oasis Class ships. On top of the Flowrider surf simulators, rock-climbing walls and ice rinks, there are also teen-only spa areas and dance clubs serving mocktails.
Jason Daniels, managing director at Cruise Circle, recommends Norwegian Cruise Lines for its family-friendly onboard entertainment and Freestyle dining option, handy for families who need to eat when the kids are hungry -- not when it's scheduled in.
Best for loved-up couples
Princess cruise ships have long been a favourite for romantics, mainly due to the large amount of private balcony cabins and suites on board. Other enticing features include the intimate speciality restaurants and Movies Under the Stars -- an ideal setting for a romantic evening.
Further options include P&O's three adult-only ships -- Arcadia, Adonia and Oriana -- and Celebrity Cruises' newer ships, which are decked with adult-only solaria, trendy bars and speciality restaurants.
Best for first-timers
"Truth be told, I saw a 5-night cruise in the Top 20 and figured I'd take my mom just to get the experience of having been on a cruise", while not everyone might be as whimsical as our website editor, Sara Kriegel, shorter "taster" cruises are a great way to decide whether you like cruising as a holiday option.
Many cruise companies offer voyages as short as two nights (to places like Rotterdam and Bruges), or short hops around the Med in under a week.
Best for mature travellers
If you're the sort who prefers educational lectures to rollerblading, a premium or luxury cruise line may be for you. Ships in this category tend to be more spacious and elegantly decorated, though their main appeal is the formal dining and inclusion of enrichment programmes and lectures covering literature, art, history and more. Cruise lines include the Holland America Line, Cunard and Silversea Cruises.
Travelzoo operations director Stephen Dunk says: "We chose Silversea for a few reasons. Firstly it was highly recommended by friends, but the main reason was because the ships are small and intimate -- they can go to many ports larger ships cannot, so the itineraries tend to be more interesting. The all-inclusive element also appealed to us -- no bar bills, no signing and no tipping required."

Presidential debate
Donald Trump at three levels
There are at least three ways of looking at Donald Trump's performance last night: (1) as an argument about issues, (2) as entertainment, and (3) as an appeal to the viscera of supporters and likely supporters. In my view, Trump was awful on the issues and good, but no more than good, as an entertainer. I don't feel qualified to judge his effectiveness with his supporters, but suspect he was »
Some thoughts about tonight's debate
My main thought about tonight's debate is that Jake Tapper did a horrendous job of moderating. As John says, he devoted way too much of the first portion of the debate to bad questions about Donald Trump, presumably in the hope of perpetuating the food fight and, perhaps, making candidates look bad. By doing so, Tapper froze out part of the field. The freeze out was exacerbated by the fact »
Bush's Common Core obfuscation
Many informed voters who watched Thursday's GOP presidential debate may have come away confused about Jeb Bush's stance on education. Bush is known to be a supporter of Common Core. Yet there he was insisting that the federal government shouldn't be involved in creating educational standards. Bush said: "I don't believe the federal government should be involved in the creation of standards directly or indirectly, the creation of curriculum or »
Donald Trump's latest fact-freedom
Last night, Donald Trump began his first answer to a question about immigration by modestly declaring that we wouldn't even be talking about the issue without him. Like much of what Trump says, this is self-inflating nonsense. Trump didn't run for president in 2012. Yet, somehow, the issue was front-and-center in Republican debates that year. In fact, before Rick Perry's "oops" moment, he got himself into trouble for being soft »
Ten thoughts about tonight's debate
1. I think each of the ten candidates did decently well in his own way and many did quite well. It's a flawed field, but viewed collectively, a good one. 2. In my opinion, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz — neither of whom I favor at this time — did the best. In that order: (1) Rubio and (2) Cruz. Both, for example, knocked it out of the park in »
The B Team debate
I agree with John's assessment of the preliminary event in today's presidential debate festivities. Carly Fiorina and Bobby Jindal were excellent and deserve immediate promotion to the A Team (stay tuned for a discussion of whom they should replace). George Pataki also debated well enough to deserve a promotion but, as John says, what would be the point. Rick Perry did pretty well but still stumbles at times. If he »
Debating Debates: A Modest Proposal
There's been a lot of discussion the last several weeks about whether and how the GOP should reclaim control of the candidate debates in the next presidential election cycle to end the perverse situation of the last cycle in which the candidates were not just debating each other, but also in effect debating the Democratic party in the form of the biased media "moderators" who are anything but moderate. But »
The Emperor's rented clothes
The first debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney was probably the most stark "Emperor has no clothes" moment in our modern political history. And the problem for Obama did not end with that debate. In the second and third debates, Obama tried to substitute shots at his opponent (mostly cheap ones) for clothing. Meanwhile Romney, having turned the momentum in his favor, kept talking about his clothes — his »
Third presidential debate leaves candidates where they were
The third and final debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney occurred on Monday, October 22. Today, Rasmussen released the results of its latest three-day poll of the race. It was taken during the three days following the debate. According to the poll, Romney leads Obama by 3 points, 50-47. This result reflects essentially no change from the poll Rasmussen reported on the day of the debate. Romney led that »
More thoughts on debate moderators, gender, and age
Yesterday, I expressed the hope that the 2016 presidential and vice presidential debates will serve up better female moderators than Martha Raddatz and Candy Crowley. One reader-friend asked if I could suggest such a moderator. I can: Gwen Ifill. Here is what I wrote about Ifill after she presided over the vice presidential debate in 2004: Tonight's vice presidential debate featured two superb performances. Unfortunately for John Edwards, they were »
Kind hearts and bayonets, cont'd
Yesterday I rounded up some pertinent commentary providing factual background belying Barack Obama's patronizing gibe at Mitt Romney in Monday night's foreign policy debate: I think Governor Romney maybe hasn't spent enough time looking at how our military works. You mentioned the Navy, for example, and that we have fewer ships than we did in 1916. Well, Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets, because the nature of our »
Obama fails Bob Woodward's fact check on sequestration
Bob Woodward, who wrote a book about the sequestration, blows the whistle on President Obama's claim during last night's debate that the idea of using deep, automatic, across-the-board domestic and defense spending cuts to force Congress to address the nation's burgeoning federal deficit originated in Congress, not in the White House. "What the president said is not correct," Woodward told Politico. In his book, The Price of Politics, Woodward reported »
Kind hearts and bayonets
I thought one statement by Barack Obama was the highlight of last night's debate. Seeking to land a knockout blow against Mitt Romney's advocacy of preserving our military spending in the face of the planned sequester, Obama asserted in his patented style: I think Governor Romney maybe hasn't spent enough time looking at how our military works. You mentioned the Navy, for example, and that we have fewer ships than »
Debate indiscipline, an inherent problem for Democrats
If there's a common takeaway from the four debates of this presidential cycle, it's the indiscipline of Barack Obama and Joe Biden. The problem manifested itself in different ways in different debates. In the first debate, Obama apparently lacked the discipline to treat the event with the seriousness it required. He seemed comparatively unprepared, unwilling to treat Romney as a serious opponent until it was too late, and unable even »
Wanted: competent female debate moderators
We've commented on the performances of the moderators of the first three debates, so I'll say a few words about last night's moderator Bob Schieffer: Job well done. Schieffer stuck to his assignment, which was to ask topical questions that provoke discussion; to move on to other topics after both candidates had a roughly equal opportunity to address the pending one; and to ensure that, overall, the candidates received equal »
The knock-out punches
Mitt Romney gave a risk-avoiding performance last night, one rather obviously designed to maintain his current position in the race. His approach was extremely conservative in its restraint, as Paul notes (and I agree), but I thought Romney nevertheless landed the better punches. Indeed, I thought that Romney threw just about all of the knock-out punches in the debate (transcript here). All in all, an impressive performance. I thought Barack »
CNN poll tends to confirm that Romney "won" by drawing
A CNN/ORC International Poll following today's presidential debate found, in CNN's words, that those who watched the third and final head-to-head matchup of President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney did not identify a clear winner." Debate viewers split 48% for Obama and 40% for Romney in the poll, a margin within the sampling error, according to CNN. As Ed Morrissey points out, Obama "won" the insta-poll after the second debate »
