Syracuse V. Michigan: The Tale Of The Tape
Michigan and Syracuse -- 8:49 p.m. WWNY 7News -- does have the feel of a heavyweight championship fight. That could be due to the other semifinal game, major underdog Wichita State battling top overall seed Louisville. But the atmosphere surrounding the Wolverines and Orange has everyone's attention, mostly because of how dominant the two teams have been throughout the tournament.
Just look at the tale of the tape: Through four tourney games, Michigan's offense is generating nearly 79 points a game, good for the second most behind Louisville's 80 points per game average. And it's how the Wolverines are scoring that is the truly scary part. As a team, Michigan (30-7), which commits the least amount of turnovers of any team in the country, is shooting nearly 50% from the field - with corner jump shots and three pointers from Trey Burke and company raining down on opposing defenses. An offense that hits shots and doesn't turn the ball over, something that could be an answer to the riddle that has been Syracuse's 2-3 zone.
But just the same, that zone could be the counterpunch to Michigan's potent offense. Syracuse is holding opponents to 37% shooting from the field and an anemic 15% from three point range. Even more startling, through four tourney games, teams are averaging just 0.72 points per possession against the Orange. Both Indiana and Marquette combined to tally just 89 points total against the Orange last weekend. The zone is almost like a series of jabs to the opponents' body - dizzying and confusing and painful. Michael Carter-Williams and Brandon Triche on top of the zone are helping Syracuse collect 11 steals a game. Syracuse's big men, like Baye Keita (1.8) and Rakeem Christmas (1.3), are helping the Orange swat away over 6 blocks per game.
Of course, Michigan's Nick Stauskas (45%) is one of the best three point shooters in the nation, and is one of the many Wolverines who could force Syracuse to extend its zone. That could free up space for Mitch McGary for open looks at the basket. One team swings for the face, the other punches at the open mid-section.
And really, this pre-title bout that is focused on two teams' strengths, one with a freighting offense the other with a suffocating defense, may actually come down to two prize-fighter players. Point guard v. point guard. Burke is considered a can't-miss NBA prospect. Carter-Williams is still thought by many, despite ups and downs during the season, to be a lottery pick in June's draft.
If Burke, who is averaging 15.5 points and 7.8 assists per tournament game, is able to get comfortable against Syracuse, it could be a long night for the Orange. And just the same, if Carter-Williams gets comfortable on defense and uses his size advantage on offense, Michigan may be the ones hitting the canvas first. But unlike those other hyped fights of the past, this time there will not be a rematch. The winner advances, earning the right to play for the NCAA championship Monday. The loser's season comes to an end. Forty minutes of battle for two of college basketball's heavyweight contenders.

Aaron Brown ("Pedestrian deaths should be a wakeup call for Portland leaders," Jan. 1) is right: Pedestrian fatalities are terrible tragedies, some of which could be avoided by making investments in sidewalks, flashing beacons and other pedestrian amenities. Brown is also right that East Portland has a disproportionate share of pedestrian collisions, in part because it has a disproportionate share of dangerous intersections and streets without sidewalks. The city has been investing in pedestrian improvements across Portland, especially in East Portland, and has secured funding for additional investments. But it is not nearly enough. The need for additional investments in safety improvements is one of the reasons Mayor Charlie Hales and I have made it clear that we think it will be necessary to raise additional revenue for transportation in Portland.
steve novick mugshot.jpg
Over the past three years, Portland has secured $47 million in funding for transportation investments in East Portland. Thus far we have actually spent $17 million; another $30 million worth of projects are on the way. Some of the projects that have received the most enthusiastic responses from local residents include:
In September, when we sent Metro a request for $24 million in transportation funding, our largest request was for the $9 million East Portland in Motion–Access to Employment and Education Project. This project will pay for:
Many of these projects were identified through the East Portland in Motion ("EPIM") Strategy process, in which East Portland residents worked with city officials to identify the area's highest priorities.
We are well aware that all of this is not enough. There are at least $20 million in EPIM priority projects that have not been funded. There are countless other projects that are needed, but did not make it onto the EPIM priority list. The estimated cost to complete safety improvements along Outer Powell (identified in another community process) is at least $58 million, and the Oregon Department of Transportation has not identified funding. (Powell is a state highway, controlled by ODOT.)
We're working hard to develop a citywide pipeline of projects that will reduce conflict between pedestrians and car traffic. Our request for Metro also included $2 million for safety improvements on Southwest Barbur Boulevard – like Powell, a state highway inside the city limits – and another $2 million for Southeast Foster Road, west of I-205.
We will continue to search for additional funding to address pedestrian safety needs, especially in East Portland. But at present, we don't have nearly enough money to maintain the streets, and signals, and street lights that we already have. To make the kind of additional safety investments that are needed, we simply are going to need more money.

GOP wants high court to take law challenges
Proposal would set deadline for decisions
The president of the state Senate is trying to gather support for a bill that would require the Wisconsin Supreme Court to take any lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of state statutes directly and decide the matter within 150 days.
Sen. Michael Ellis, a Neenah Republican, sent an email to all legislators on Thursday asking for co-sponsors.
The bill comes after a multiple parties filed lawsuits challenging Republican Gov. Scott Walker's contentious law stripping most public workers of nearly all their union rights and a GOP-authored law requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls.
Ellis writes in his email the bill would streamline the process.
A conservative four-justice majority currently controls the Supreme Court.

Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush Delivers A New Kind Of Clean
You must be pretty accustomed to hearing and reading about facial cleansing brushes in the market, yeah?
By now, we all know that cleansing your face with just your hands, cleanser and a few splashes of water is not enough to remove the impurities and dirt accumulated on your skin throughout the day. Even a washcloth doesn't quite make the cut.
It is with great excitement that I share with you the newest dermatologist-developed Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush! Woohoo!! Clinique collaborated with a Swiss (when I think of Swiss, I think of top quality) toothbrush manufacturer to incorporate Swiss Engineered Sonic technology in this facial cleansing brush.
In line with Clinique's belief in simple, clean designs with form following function, Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush seeks to TRANSFORM SKIN via a gentle, custom cleansing experience.
Sleek, Travel-Friendly, Light
I'm quite a clumsy person. If I'm not dropping something on the floor, I'm creating an avalanche of falling items on myself, or knocking something over with my elbows. When Mr Mode and I go out, he will feel very stressed when we're in a shop with delicate products. He said it's like bringing out a bull. LOL.
What I love about the Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush, despite its loooonnngg name, is how simple it is in design and form, yet resilient and consistent in function. And you know what they always say, the simpler something is, the harder it is to achieve.
I've dropped it quite a few times and it has remained solid and functional! Clumsiness-resistent! YAY!
The ergonomic design of the handle makes it easy to hold, and because it has a flat base, I can leave it on the edge of a table to air-dry. This is to prevent mildew from forming on the bristles if it sits in the humid conditions of a bathroom for too long.
On the sleek-looking, pure-white body, there's just one button to press. No fancy double, triple speed functions, just 2 different types of bristles on the brush head for you to manipulate according to what's best for your skin's needs.
Best part is, IT IS SO SMALL & LIGHT! Most brush cleansing devices are pretty heavy to accommodate all the engine work going on inside, so how Clinique managed to squeeze all that technology in a tiny body while keeping it light is remarkable.
And just for reference, it weighs lighter than my Samsung Note 3 – I think half of it!
Here's a big picture of my holding the device close to my face to show you just how compact it is. 😀
Perfect size for small hands!

Gluten-Free Flour

I like this flour. Good product, great price and big package!
Great substitute for grain based flour for baked goods
Posted by Reviewer2841114 on Nov 04, 2012
Great substitute for grain based flour for baked goods, I also make almond meal of my own by making nut milk. I soak my almonds overnight to decrease the phytic acid. Next morning I blend them with water, then I pour the mixture through muslin/cheesecloth over my sieve, which leaves me with almond pulp, once dried and ground this is almond meal/flour.
All it's cracked up to be
Posted by 5116640392345431828 on Nov 26, 2012
I've been meaning to order this for quite some time now. It is everything I've been expecting and it definitely makes for healthier baking than with regular flour.

Great for baking
Posted by Reviewer2968957 on Apr 14, 2013
I love using Almond Flour in my homemade baking mix. I make up a huge batch of this mix all the time, which has about 12 cups of every kind of flour I can think of in it... to use for pancakes and waffles or muffins. I kind of make it different every time depending upon what is in the house, but I love to use all different kinds of flours - whole wheat, brown rice flour, graham flour, spelt flour, quinoa flour, etc. I also grind up rolled oats and use a cup of oat flour. Also wheat and oat bran... Last time I tried using a cup of the almond meal / flour and it gave my pancakes and waffles a great light and soft / crispy edged texture. Next time I'll add 2 cups in! I've read that you can use it to substitute about 1/3 or your recipe's flour. Try it!
Posted by 5165183903646514528 on Jun 26, 2013
Have tried several gluten-free flours - this one is great! Made pancakes and they were awesome! Not sure about non-sweet recipes as I have not tried yet.

Happy Jackie Robinson Day
Jackie Robinson is too big for any one city or state to claim. He was born in the South, trained in the Arm Forces in the Southwest, played a year in the Negro League in the Midwest, and his big League home was Brooklyn. But he grew up in Pasadena, California. Here is a picture when he was on the Pasadena Junior College Bulldogs team.
Jackie exceeded in all sports. Here he is playing baskeball for the Pasadena Junior College.
At UCLA
Jackie and Rachel at an UCLA Homecoming in 1951.
Happy Jackie Robinson Day everyone! I am heading to the stadium in my Jackie Robinson jersey and my Brooklyn Dodger hat. Still sleepy from getting home at 2:30 this morning after that loooong game last night. Hopefully Kuroda-san and the players will play well for Jackie!
A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives." – Jack Roosevelt Robinson.
10 Comments
Happy Jackie Robinson Day! How fun, you went to the game last night and tonight, both extra innings! Must've been exciting! Hope you had a great time!🙂
And Happy Jackie Robinson Day to you as well! I'm sure this holds a special place in your heart because Jackie was a dodger😉. I thank him for being so brave and strong. Seeing all those 42s made me happy.
I was at Dodgers Stadium passed midnight and then back the same day for Jackie Robinson Day. I could not miss that day. The ceremony was great with Vin narrating and speeches from Don Newcombe and Kareem.
Yes, he does have a special place in my heart. I, like many Dodger fans, was dressed in my #42 Dodger jersey. It was wonderful seeing everyone wearing #42, from the players, the umpires and the fans.
Thanks for the updates. Honestly I don't know much of Jackie Robinson, not until you give us some facts and profile check about his life and sport he has participated. I wonder if Brandon Knight is skillful player like Robinson is. Imagine Jackie played basketball and baseball, what a remarkable contribution in the world of sports. Happy Jackie Robinson Day everyone!
A belated Happy Jackie Robinson Day, Emma! Btw, I can't get over how beautiful Rachel Robinson is. She seems to get more elegant and stunning as she ages. She's quite the role model herself.
Thank you for telling me about Brandon Knight. Just checked the link you sent. And I love Jackie's picture there! In addition to Basketball and Baseball, Jackie played football and track.
She sure is a beautiful woman and you are right, she gets more elegant and stunning. I saw the celebration with her at Yankee Stadium.
Got to tell you, the more I read about Jackie Robinson and hsi time before and after baseball, the more he becomes an inspiration as a player and a man.
Always knew he was a military veteran and college educated, but some of the stress and strife he went through I would not wish on my worst enemy.
But he did it with courage, charm and a hint of determination that made him go from a odd sight to a pleasant sight all in a matter of years.
Doesn't matter your race, religion or even your social place….Jackie Robinson should be every young ballplayer idol….
Rays Renegade
I love all the Jackie Robinson tributes around the nation and around baseball. I wish I lived in your part of the country so I could go and see a game at Jackie Robinson Stadium. That would be awesome and very historic. Always love the baseball history.
I recorded the tribute to Jackie at Dodger Stadium. It is done by Vin Scully but It is too big for youtube and I have not split it. Once I have it, I'll put it here.
I have seen that tribute. I'm just envious of you for living close enough to a stadium named in his memory where you can see quality baseball. I like to know the roots of players and where they came from before they made it big. Like Hank Aaron's childhood home now being opened. It's wonderful they have a tribute to Robinson at UCLA.

The Jenivere is a large merchant ship, a Wyvern-class vessel commonly used by the Inner Sea nations for trade, exploration, and even war. She is valued for her combination of seaworthiness and capacity for carrying numerous passengers.
Wyvern-class ships have made the dangerous journey to Azlant, Arcadia, and even around the southern tip of Garund, but the Jenivere and her crew run less perilous voyages.
For the past several years, Captain Alizandru Kovack has made the western run between Magnimar to the north and Eleder to the south and then back with few complications; despite the fact that his route carries him through waters controlled by the piratical Free Captains of the Shackles, brushes with the eternal winds of the Eye of Abendego, ravages of disease and natural hazards, and into periodic conflicts with the Nidalese navy.
Although Captain Kovack's crew appreciate this record, the baseless fear that the Jenivere has robbed luck's coffers one too many times lies heavy on the hearts of many..
While the Jenivere is a merchant ship, primarily concerned with delivering goods to and from Sargava, she's traditionally kept several compartments open to take on paying passengers.
It has been a rough couple of days at sea… The Jenivere has been out of port three days now from Senghor. The storms rolled in just as the harbor disappeared on the horizon. This morning the sea is drained of its rage… now tranquil, allowing much of the crew a bit of rest.
Tension has relaxed... and some of the passengers take the time to mill about the deck.
|Iolana Zerengo
|Tol Cherthand
Tol awakens and makes his way to the hold to tend to his horse. He pours a pail of water from the ship's store and carries it over to the makeshift stable.
Rough night, eh, Gorra? Can't say I mind the close quarters on a ship. Just like bein' in a hole, and there's not a dwarf alive that minds being in a hole. But I do wish it would hold still!
The horse whickers insistently.
Tol laughs. All right, all right. I know what you want, old girl.
He opens a sack of grain and pours some into Gorra's makeshift feed trough. He regards the horse solemnly.
Just a few more days of this, lady, and we'll be back on dry ground again. Don't you worry. We'll find that young upstart and go home.
He brushes down the horse, and begins to shovel manure into a large bucket.
I hope...
|Iolana Zerengo
Iolana has worked hard during the storm, after all Jenivere has everything in her life.
She awoke a short time ago, wore a large shirt and a skirt cut to the knees, then began to inspect the vessel, the rest of the crew and the passengers.
"Everyone allright? Any damage to the hull, masts, anything to report?"
Iolana is clearly of varisian origins; she has long, dark blonde hair and her skin is tanned.
It looks like the weather finally cleared and Mugambi is happy to be on the ship's deck. Been on the day shift he didn't saw much of last night storm, except the worse of it when all hands wore expected on deck to lower the main sails. But things came back to business as usual and his crew went back to sleep.
On a lot of ships the doctor doesn't work with the sailors, but been a Mwangi he is expected to work his passage, all the time. Not been an accomplished sailor himself the crew usually leave him to do the small jobs that require manual dexterity and that don't put the ship's medic at risk. Nobody on the ship can sew the sails better than him.
Not that Mugambi ever complained, a lot of ships would just not have him at all. Luckily the last stormy days only left him sails to sew, not bodies.
|Gelik the Gnome
"Oh Gods .. bright sky" as Iolana brushes past him. The gnome merchant pulls the brim of his hat over his eyes. He begins inspecting his still immaculate garments for any signs of soiling or wear. "I will require someone to dispose of the contents of last nights companion, my bucket... and she could use a bit of a scrub as well.." in response to Iolana's question.
|Gatherine 'Taboofox' Deepheavy
Urgh...Finally! Gatherine staggered weakly across the one of the merchant vessels more spacious storage areas in a nauseated stupor. The storms that had shook the Jenevire like dice in a desperate gambler's fist before a roll had her jostled inside a cramped barrel that had dashed itself to bits,spilling her onto the worn floorboards.
She had regained consciousness underneath a pile of rolled carpets and bolts of silk that had been shaken loose.Stunned at her luck none of the crew had yet to check on this section of the storage, the dwarf maid wobbled her way to the stairs that lead to the upper levels.
Need...fresh air!Gatherine grumbled groggily as she leaned against the wall.

"I meant something useful" Iolana answers with a quick glance to the gnome.
|Gelik the Gnome
Gelik waves off Iolana's response. "Hmm .. of course you did, my dear..." He pulls out a kerchief and dabs his forehead... "Moist .. meh.. even hate the woord." He looks out in to the sea toward your destination.. "I doo hope there is enough of my ingenious brethren in this ghastly ... land of .. moist, to have devised a way to serve a cold drink.. oh what I would give..." now fanning himself...
labeled overhead view
|Tol Cherthand
Having seen to Gorra, Tol makes his way out onto the deck. He stretches in the sunlight, and then makes his way to the nearest rail, which happens to be near where Gelik and Iolana are standing. He nods a gruff Good morning, and then unceremoniously dumps the bucket of manure overboard. The scent wafts through the air.
|Gelik the Gnome
"Oh yes right on cue... 'the sky is a kingdom covered in gold'..." he recites with a broad gesture ".. and here comes Sir Broadshoulder'd Mole-in-a-can, to add his little contribution..." he pinches his nose with his kerchief and leans toward the sailors repairing the sails .. "I doo wonder if he and his horse share a bucket.."
|Gatherine 'Taboofox' Deepheavy
Gatherine found herself edging around a makeshift stable that held a large chestnut mare that eyed her curiously with doe eyes.It wickered at her,nostrils flaring as it scented her.
She caught the lingering odor of fresh manure and her nausea returned with a vengeance.Gagging,the dwarf maid hurried to the stairs to get above decks. A sailor gave her gray-tinted face and queasy expression one look and scrambled clear lest she deposited the contents of her stomach upon him.
Bright sunlight seared her eyes,blindness making her rush headlong up the steps.Salty air off the sea tugged at her gold earrings.In her haste, she blundered into the heaped sails being sewn by a person wearing a tribal mask that reminded her of squinting orc.Gatherine tumbled to the deck in a tangle of canvas and limbs--and was violently ill over the masked person's feet.
|Iolana Zerengo
Iolana would be around the mast,washing the bridge
Iolana had just left Gelik blabbering by himself when she heard a commotion coming from the stairs.
"Praise be Abadar!! And now what the .....who is there?"
She and others crewmembers harry on the spot.
Am waiting for other's actions before making too many assumptions

Bolka be with me...Gatherine sagged on the deck with a groan, wrapped up in the torn sailing. Sailors let out cries of alarmed disgust and danced anxiously from the steaming mess.She coughed to clear her throat.
When she looked up and noticed how many heads turned towards her, she gave a sheepish look of dismay.Oooops...Uh,hi?
Should've just barfed in the stable...she thought with chargain. Do they throw you overboard or was my sister just making that up?
Yae, yae. Let it out. Deep breath, breeeeathe.
Mugambi lean over the new arrivel, he doesn t recognize her as anyone he knows aboard the ship. He starts to examine her looking for signs of disease and trying to figure it out what can be done for her.

Tol watches in astonishment as the girl careens across the deck.
No, it couldn't be!
Gatherine, lass, is that you?
Upon hearing Iolana's conjecture, his countenance darkens, and he storms in Gatherine's direction, angrily gesturing with the bucket.
A stowaway? A STOWAWAY!!! Gatherine Deepheavy! What have you done! You've gotten yourself in a right mess is what you've done, and what's worse, disgraced your family name! Oh, when your father hears about this...
|Gatherine 'Taboofox' Deepheavy
Gatherine sat up and crossed her arms over her bust indignantly.Who's you calling a 'little kid'?! I'M grown!
She turned her brown round face to the tall Varisian woman and stuck out her bottom lip in a defiant pout.And that's ADVENTURESS to you,lady!Besides, I'm the one who's kept your rat problem down--the only thing edible on this bowl.That runty cook of yours and that watery slop he has the nerve to call food made me sick!Blech!
|Gatherine 'Taboofox' Deepheavy
The dwarf maid started at the sound of her name. She goggled at the middle-aged dwarf hustling her way shaking a manure-encrusted bucket at her. Recognition flashed in her eyes as she peered st his tanned,ginger-bearded face.
Ah no! I remember you! You're one of da's friends! The one he saved from that gryphon when it tried to eat your horse. Her chubby face became a scowl.Mind yo' own business!Tell that pepper-beard i'm grown and i don't hafta listen to him anymore!
Then something else occurred to her. Her eyes darted from the collection of faces nervously.My sister here with you,is she?!
If her sister had come along she would beat her flat and drag her home bound and gagged!
|Iolana Zerengo
Iolana keeps talking quietly, she doesn't look angry.
"Sorry girl, rules are rules and money is money; besides the captain didn't search for someone to eat the rats in the ...where you were hiding? In one hold i assume. In another time and place i'ld be the one to be congratulating you for your wits"
e-terah eartenchild, you should "edit" your last post and change the avatar
Na, na, little kid. A be good with ya friend dwarf here. He be looking for ya a lat. Now he talk ta captain and make everything ok. Because ya know what happen with little kidss that stowawa on ships?

|Gatherine 'Taboofox' Deepheavy
Not lumping likely! Gatherine scoffed,turning her button nose up at the masked man with thick dreadlocks spanning from behind it like sunrays.
I can float like a log anyway. But if you were gonna throw me over and I died, I swear by Bolka's bum I'd come back from the dead and HAUNT you!!
try me own bluff
1d20 + 0 ⇒ (19) + 0 = 19
One of the crew returns having retrieved the first mate. First Mate Alton gives Mugambi a 'that's enough' look.. he then looks at Gatherine, the mess on the deck, and turns to Tol "A stowaway ....and you know each other?" He leans in toward Gatherine and speaks plainly, without a hint of hostility or humor "You're on the ship now .. we aren't about to throw you over. But, if you can't pay your way.. you work, if you don't work.. we turn you in at port. Now get cleaned up .. you (points to a sailor) help Tol clear out the storage area near his accommodations."
|Gatherine 'Taboofox' Deepheavy
Yae, yae. Good, good.
Suddenly serious Mugambi turns way to return to his work, shocked that the girl would rather die than reach a compromise. As he picks up the sails he mumble to himself in a wisper.
Dat better. Have enoth spiritss to talk to already...
|Gatherine 'Taboofox' Deepheavy
Despite her outward nonchalance,Gatherine felt overwhelming relief.They really weren't going to toss her overboard.She doubted she could have swam too far or even stayed afloat with all her gear.And if she worked hard they wouldn't turn her in at port to stew in a jail until her sister arrived to bail her out.
The dwarf maid gave Tol a sideways glance. Now why is he here?
Although she was frightened,this was where she wanted to be. It looked like the start of her adventure was starting quite well.She smirked to herself.
|Tol Cherthand
Tol fumes angrily while the rest of the conversation is going on, but after Gatherine has made an agreement with Alton, he pulled her aside.
Miss Gatherine, this has gone on long enough. As soon as we get to Eleder, we're boarding the next ship headed north and I'm escorting you home to your father!
|Gatherine 'Taboofox' Deepheavy
Gatherine drew herself up to her impressive (for a dwarf) height of 3ft. 11in,looming several inches taller than the older dwarf.She gave him her fiercest scowl that came across more as an angry pout.Like lead I will!
Try my amateur Intimidate check 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (15) + 0 = 15
|Averin Grey
Averin sat at the tail of the Jenivere watching the wake peter out across the open waters. He'd gotten used to the ship in the weeks since he boarded and had adopted this perch as his favorite spot on deck after a brief period of experimentation. Today the view was especially appreciated after the few days of storm had essentially confined him to quarters. The drama unfolding on deck was interesting enough to draw him from his perch and towards the small cluster of people at the mast.
This is the girl you've been looking for Tol? I've got to admit that I didn't expect to find her on board after all this time.
|Tol Cherthand
|1 person marked this as a favorite.
DC to intimidate is 10+HD+wis, so for Tol, 10+1+0... Nicely done. Consider me friendly for the next 1d6 ⇒ 1*10 => 10 minutes. But after that, I'm unfriendly! ;-)
Forgot to put my height/weight in description; I actually rolled 4'1", but I'll change it to 3'9" to keep continuity.
Tor took a step back, unprepared for this level of resistance. Er... Miss Gatherine, I-- Please, I only want you to be safe. Can you really mean to stay in Sargava?
|Gatherine 'Taboofox' Deepheavy
|Gordon the Whale
A... Visit? I'm sure I don't know about the habits of adventurers, Miss Gatherine, but... he glances around at all the onlookers But this stowing away business is downright undwarfish! And eating rats? Look at you, you're all skin and bones!
(by dwarven standards, maybe)
Well, we'll talk about it more later, I reckon. For now, let's get you cleaned up and some proper food in your belly.
|Gatherine 'Taboofox' Deepheavy
Gatherine made a face at the mention of food.Urgh...if you have some cool ale that'll do.
The thought of a chance to get properly cleaned up and a place to stay other than an empty splintered barrel bottom was too appealing to give up.
She noticed the tall half -elven man striding his way towards them.Hands on her hips,she regarded him with arching brows.Now just who are you?
|Iolana Zerengo
Looks like we have a new soul
"OK everyone to other crew, not to the PCs the drama is over, eveyone back to what he was doing, we still have some days to Sargava I don't know how much exactly, so i'm being vague"
Iolana claps her hands.
"And when miss Gatherine has done with bathing and feeding i'ld like to have some talk with her"
|Gelik the Gnome
"Now offering bathing and feeding? you tawny mynx ... where does the line start?" he gives a creepy leer
".. 'Oh how wanton thoughts entice mine eye but alas I dare not trust it ..
with the dreams I've dreamed that you were in... I think Ill keep 'me bucket.'"
"Be sure to pass that on to Aerys our resident poet..
I .. will be in 'me bunk" these last two words, as in his poem, mimic the dwarves' accent..
Gelik bows and returns to his cabin.
|Gatherine 'Taboofox' Deepheavy
Gatherine gave a satisfied sigh and reclined in a hammock that occupied the corner of the storage hold adjacent to Tol 's quarters.Freshly bathed, sporting a new collection of braids that vaguely reminded one of a pinecone that also wrapped around her neck in thick coils of sable hair with auburn streaks,the dwarf maid drank greedily from a clay mug of cool ale.
Nothing like cool ale to calm a queasy stomach!
Gatherine tugged at her freshly laundered explorer's outfit,smoothing out the cloth skirt she wore under her leather overtunic. Her high-heeleanad boots were crossed at the ankles.She readjusted the adventurer's sash across her front,tugging at the cloth corset where she kept the dragon pistol tucked away--out of sight,within easy reach.
The Varisian sailor,Iolana, had mentioned wanting to speak to her privately..
Better not keep her waiting.
|Iolana Zerengo
Iolana welcomes the dwarven girl and invites her in some place on the bridge where they can talk away from prying ears.
"First I would like to apologize for my rudeness, but is always good to play the though girl with the crew, especially when you're a woman and spend months at sea with rough men who do not see other women for a long time. Of course, i'm very strict with duty and rules, it is good to have rules in life ..... but do not worry, I understand if it was not easy for you.
Anyway welcome and do not worry, nobody will throw you overboard, however remains the fact that you have to work and I wanted to know what you do best, or if you know something of ships and sea life."
|Gatherine 'Taboofox' Deepheavy
Gatherine stood tall and proud,squinting against the glittering waters of the rolling sea as she regarded the slender human.
|Iolana Zerengo
The first mate intercepts Iolana .."Captains still sleepin .. he's been taking late nights at the wheel ever since Cahill and Mauersberger both passed out on duty."
"..put the dwarf girl on kitchen help .. Ebenezer's cooking might not be the best .. put I'm more concerned about his belief that the hot breath of a drunk and wipe of a sleeve makes a clean spoon..she can report to the kitchen after she is finished with her .. lounging"
He then tracks down Mugambi "Our passenger Ishirou has a minor injury when you get a chance.. " you would know where his cabin is .. one level down and near stairs
|Ishirou of Tian
|Aerys Mavristo
|Gatherine 'Taboofox' Deepheavy
Gatherine stared at the garbage-strewn area that was supposed to be the ship's kitchen in open mouthed horror. One of the cook's,a fat swarthy man with a filthy apron that reeked of sour ale and stale sweat,Ebenezer,slapped a buzzing horsefly with a grimy wooden spoon.Her eyes nearly fell out of her head when he licked it off and continued to stir the cauldron of thin 'soup'.
|Tol Cherthand
|1 person marked this as a favorite.
Tol looks on approvingly as Gatherine surveys the kitchen in horror. Nothing like good, honest work to build character, he thinks. Plus, maybe we'll get better food for the last few days of the trip.
He turns away and seeks out First Mate Alton.
Ahem, thank you, sir, for finding something constructive for Miss Gatherine to do. She's a headstrong lass, and she'd done wrong by stowing away on your ship, but she's quite young, not even forty winters, you know, naught but a threenager. That is to say, I think she's a good maid at heart, and I hope she'll learn from this experience.
|Madam Abacus
Ebenezer reaches into a crate and unwraps another trail ration and drops it directly into the bubbling cauldron. "Oh is someone there? Oh you must be the young halfling boy they were sending to help me .. sorry eyes not so good ooh how nice to have company .. you look like a healthy eater!" He claps his hand together.. makes a face .. smells one hand then the other and shrugs .. "Wull, come on in .. I'll show you how I make thrice baked eggless flatbread... "

Sanctuary: Season 2 DVD
Sanctuary follows the adventures of the enigmatic Dr. Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping), forensic psychiatrist Dr. Will Zimmerman (Robin Dunne) and her fearless daughter Ashley (Emilie Ullerup). Together they track down, study and protect the strange and often terrifying creatures that secretly populate our world. Rather than dismiss the creatures as monstrous figments of our imaginations, Dr. Magnus recognizes that the world is full of nature's mistakes and triumphs and has the spectacular proof that they are indeed real. Dr. Zimmerman, an insightful psychiatric profiler with a knack for finding the strange and curious, reluctantly joins the team to aid in the study of beings he can hardly believe himself. Together with Ashley and quirky tech-whiz Henry, they use instinct, medicine, and cutting-edge technology to find the creatures that lurk in the corners of our civilization and protect us from those too dangerous to be roaming free.

Oct. 5, 2011—Curtis Haug, a 1992 North Central College graduate, has been named general manager of the Kane County Cougars.
Haug has worked for the Cougars for the past 18 years and has been assistant general manager for the past 13 years.
"Curtis has continuously demonstrated leadership qualities throughout his tenure with the Cougars and is a communications-oriented individual through his relationships with fans, clients and staff," Cougars managing partner Mike Woleben said in a story posted on Minor League Baseball's official website.
The Cougars are a minor affiliate of the Kansas City Royals. The team moved to Geneva in Kane County in 1991 from Wisconsin and previously has been affiliated with the Baltimore Orioles, Florida Marlins and Oakland Athletics. More than 100 former Cougars have played for Major League Baseball teams, including Rookie of the Year winners and World Series champions.
Prior to joining the Cougars in 1993, Haug spent three seasons with the Charleston Wheelers in South Carolina. Haug played collegiate baseball at Florida Southern College for three years prior to graduating from North Central College with a degree in management. He attended Naperville Central High School.
"I'm grateful for the opportunity, and thankful to the great staff that I have been a part of since beginning with the Cougars in 1993," Haug said. "As a staff, we look forward to continuing our philosophy of delivering affordable family-friendly entertainment to Chicagoland."

ArtPrize 2014 kicks off in just a couple of weeks! Grand Rapids will hum with creative energy across three square miles of downtown as artists and visitors from around the world flock to display and view the artwork.
This world's largest art competition boasts more than 4500 artists at 515 venues! If you're heading to the event for the first time or want to see more of what the area has to offer, use this step-by-step guide for experiencing ArtPrize from Experience Grand Rapids.
The sixth year of ArtPrize®, held in Grand Rapids, Michigan, returns September 24-October 12. The largest art competition in the country will feature over 1,500 international works of art throughout a three square mile area. What truly sets ArtPrize apart though is the fact your vote helps select one of the winners of the $200,000 grand prize.
To help make your ArtPrize experience the best it can be, we've gathered the top five insider tips from experienced ArtPrize visitors both in and outside of Grand Rapids.
Plan Your Day
Visit the ArtPrize website to see all 1,536 entries and start planning your "must see" exhibits. If you have an iPhone, iPad or Android device, download the ArtPrize app to search for specific entries or discover art near you when you come to town. You can also vote through the app-no need to wait in line! If you can swing it, plan more than one day to visit. Grand Rapids is home to many hotels downtown and in outlying areas to meet your overnight needs.
Pick a Parking Spot
Getting to ArtPrize early in the day will give you the most parking options. There are many downtown surface lots to choose from, and the Monroe Center Ramp provides one free hour of parking if you arrive between 8 am and 6 pm. Downtown parking meters are free after 6 p.m. Monday-Friday and most meters are free Saturdays while all are on Sundays. Don't carry change in your pocket? Create an account to pay for parking via your cell phone.
Bus in
Why drive your car into the city, when you can leave it at participating Meijer stores and ride the bus!? Starting September 17, you can pick up two ArtPrize wristbands for only $5 at participating Meijer stores. These wristbands give you unlimited rides on all Rapid, DASH and Silver Line buses all 19 days of ArtPrize. Wristbands are also available at the HUB and all Exhibition Centers.
Avoid the Crowds…or Not
The early bird gets the worm and fewer people on the streets at ArtPrize. Getting to ArtPrize early especially on day one not only helps you beat the crowds, you may even get to meet a few of the artists and speak to them about their work. Another way to manage the crowds is to visit Monday-Thursday when crowds are significantly less. And if you are a member of Grand Rapids Art Museum (GRAM) you can get into GRAM two hours before the public to see nearly 20 ArtPrize entries.
But there is also an upside to additional people; especially when many are in town for the same reason. Being surround by likeminded people enjoying art, Grand Rapids and such a unique event can add energy and excitement to your day. Instead of "fighting the crowds," soak in the amazing vibe of ArtPrize as you wander around the city and take it all in.
Explore ArtPrize
There are many ways to discover ArtPrize. To take any guesswork out of your day, download a self-guided tour for families and small groups available August 29. Speaking of groups, it's a good idea to tour in smaller groups of two to four. Having fewer people to keep together makes it easier to get around. Then make plans with a larger group at a restaurant downtown to compare notes!
Another helpful tip is to bring your bicycle. Bikes make it easier to get to outlying venues and simply see more art since you can get from one venue to another that much quicker. You can also park a bit farther out of the city and ride in to avoid any parking jams.
Don't forget to wear comfortable shoes and clothes to ensure you can access any venue. It's also a good idea to bring a sweater or dress in layers. The weather can be a bit unpredictable near the lakeshore!
Time to Eat
While you are enjoying the cultural feast, it's easy to forget to eat physical food. Luckily, with over 100 restaurants in the downtown area, finding a place for a bite and a beverage isn't too hard.
Since Grand Rapids is Beer City USA, stop into one of the many brewpubs for a pint and a nice little lunch. Or grab something to go and eat outside in front of your favorite outdoor art.
Whichever way you decide to spend your time at ArtPrize, remember there is no one way to visit ArtPrize. Make the experience yours and have a blast.

By Sharna Johnson: Freedom New Mexico
An element of the new state minimum wage law could cost local governments tens of thousands of dollars in overtime pay and is drawing opposition from city officials across the state.
The new law, effective Jan. 1, cements a work period as 40 hours in seven days with no exceptions and will force government to pay public safety workers overtime where they didn't have to before or cut schedules, according to Randy Vanvlack, general council for the New Mexico Municipal League.
Under exemptions in the previous state minimum wage law, governments were able to create alternate schedules for public safety workers. That wording was left out of the new state minimum wage law, in effect placing all employees on the same work period, said Vanvlack, whose organization represents all 102 incorporated municipalities in the state, including Clovis and Portales.
Legislation to raise the minimum wage from $5.15 to $6.50 by Jan. 1 — and to $7.50 by 2009 — was passed in March. The seven-page bill defines various types of employment and covers everything from overtime to tips and types of wage compensation.
Portales is bracing for the impact to its budget, City Manager Debi Lee said.
The fire department could see an increase of around $18,000 a month in overtime under the new law if it's not changed.
She said the fire department's shift scheduling of 24 hours on and 48 hours off will create a big budget problem.
"We think we can do it with very minimal effect to response, we just won't have as large a shift as we would like," Lee said of the fire department. "The scary part is the calls for service are up."
Lee said Fire Chief John Bridges has worked out a plan to deal with the change on a short-term basis that will bring the overtime down to $4,000.
"It will have a direct affect on the delivery of our services," Bridges said. "Response issues will be dealt with, we're going to make the calls, but its going to be tough."
Lee said her concern is the possible loss of firefighters who have built their lives and other sources of livelihood around the 24-on 48-off schedule.
Lee also said several departments, including the Portales Police Department, regularly utilize "comp time" to compensate employees for extra hours that might be put in on an emergency such as a homicide or a water main break.
Clovis Fire Chief Ray Westerman said his department has a 14-day, 106-hour work period, meaning personnel must exceed 53 hours a week to get overtime pay.
Under the new law, Clovis firefighters would average a minimum of 13 hours of overtime per week.
Clovis will comply in January and is monitoring opposition to the bill, City Manager Joe Thomas said.
Officials are still evaluating the situation, but the fire department will likely be the largest area of impact, he said, since police are already working a 40-hour week. And city employees will lose the option of earning compensatory time in lieu of overtime pay.
Officials have not calculated the affect on the budget, he said, because they were expecting legislators would move to correct the law.
Westerman said he expects fire departments across the state to lobby to keep the bill the way it is.
He said firefighters should be paid at the same standard as any other employee and should be compensated for extra time spent away from their families.
He said his personnel are cautiously optimistic and feel the law brings them closer to equality.
Vanvlack said his organization has drafted a revised bill to present legislators to get the exemptions added back into law.
Cities across the state are, like Portales, having to re-evaluate their schedules and budgets, he said.
"Cities aren't going to be able to absorb that, so they're going to have to cut back to 40 hour weeks and do away with their flexible schedules," he said.
Sen. Clint Harden, R-Clovis, said the Legislature meets for a budget session in January.
For a revised bill to be heard during the coming session, it would require submission with an executive message from the governor.
Otherwise, the matter can not be considered by the Legislature until January 2009, he said.
PNT Managing Editor Karl Terry contributed to this report.

- Abstract
- We describe a method for evolving the projected Gross-Pitaevskii equation (PGPE) for an interacting Bose gas in a harmonic-oscillator potential, with the inclusion of a long-range dipolar interaction. The central difficulty in solving this equation is the requirement that the field is restricted to a small set of prescribed modes that constitute the low-energy c-field region of the system. We present a scheme, using a Hermite-polynomial-based spectral representation, which precisely implements this mode restriction and allows an efficient and accurate solution of the dipolar PGPE. We introduce a set of auxiliary oscillator states to perform a Fourier transform necessary to evaluate the dipolar interaction in reciprocal space. We extensively characterize the accuracy of our approach and derive Ehrenfest equations for the evolution of the angular momentum.

Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso
About Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso
Founded in 1928, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso is considered one of the most prestigious institutions of Chilean higher education. PUCV is located in Valparaíso, seventy miles from the capital of Chile, Santiago. Frequent and efficient public transportation enables visitors and residents alike to travel to many cities in Chile and also other South American countries.
Valparaíso is Chile's coastal door to the Pacific Ocean, the location of the Legislative Assembly and the capital of the Fifth Region. Valparaíso boasts hundreds of passageways and streets with countless bends and curves. Endless stairways traverse Valparaíso's 42 hills facing the sea. These hills are dotted with colorful houses that overlook and are met by the Pacific at their base. To live in and to visit Valparaíso is always exciting - not only because of its location and landscape but also because of its charm. Valparaíso enchants like few places can.
Millersville University and PUCV formalized their academic partnership in 1999. MU's Office of Global Education and PUCV's PIIE (Programa Internacional de Intercambio Estudiantil) Office have developed a close and highly successful relationship based on extensive professional contact, personal familiarity, and the highly active MU-PUCV student and faculty exchange program.
For more information about Chile and Valparaíso, click here.
To watch a short video about PUCV and the Study Abroad Program, click here.
This program is available to Millersville University and non-MU students. Most students who study abroad are traditionally juniors. However, students can and do study abroad anytime after they have completed 24 credits. Students should complete an application to study abroad one semester before wishing to go abroad. A minimum of a 2.0 GPA, demonstration of at least a 202 level Spanish proficiency, an official transcript and two completed recommendation forms from professors from their home university are also required. The Office of Global Education will then review all applications. Approval will be determined shortly after the application deadline and students will be notified via email at the address noted on the application.
The PUCV study abroad experience is a one or two semester immersion study abroad program. PUCV semester courses are offered to full-time students, in a blended immersion format, in which international undergraduate students attend some classes with other exchange students and the remaining classes with their Chilean peers. All classes are taught in Spanish.
Students can take many of the regular PUCV courses according to their academic needs and their Spanish proficiency level. In addition, all MU program participants are required to take as part of their academic load a 6 credit Chilean Communication and Culture class offered by the PIEE Office for exchange students. Students also have the option to take one additional Spanish Writing or Grammar class through the PIIE Office but no more than 9 credits total are permitted to be taken through PIIE. A minimum of 3 credits MUST be taken at the regular university and all students must be registered for at least 12 credits for the term.
During orientation at PUCV, students will be given a Spanish proficiency test (written and oral) to assess their current level. They will then be placed into beginner, intermediate or advanced levels for the PIIE classes only. The "regular" classes are full immersion and will be taught as if all class members are native speakers.
PUCV Offers Courses in:
Exchange participants will create their academic schedules with their Chilean orientation leader during orientation week. It is important to arrive at PUCV with as many class options as possible because classes are spread out in university buildings over the greater Valparaíso area and students may not have enough time to go to different course locations between classes if they are in more distant parts of the city. However, the drop/add period at PUCV is approximately one month long, affording the students greater flexibility in ensuring they are taking appropriate classes.
How to Research Course Offerings
To find a list of course offerings and descriptions, please refer to Global Education's step by step guide: Step By Step Guide to Finding PUCV Course Offerings
Courses are broken down by faculty and semester. Students who will study abroad during the fall semester should look at Semester 2 (or 4, 6, 8) classes at PUCV, and students going in the spring semester should look at Semester 1 (or 3, 5, 7) classes, due to differences in the academic calendar.
Housing & Meals
Homestay accommodations, arranged by PUCV, are the norm. Viña del Mar, where all students live with host families, is located about a 10-15 minute micro or metro ride away from Valparaíso, where the university is located. Viña, as it is often called, is a thriving resort town that is popular with Chileans and international visitors alike in the summer months because of its beautiful beaches and modern attractions. Viña is well maintained and beautiful year round. Most local families (as opposed to visiting tourists) live in apartments rather than houses.
As part of the homestay, students will receive 3 meals a day and their own room with linens (sheets, pillows, comforter and towel). Laundry is done approximately once a week with the family's laundry. One exchange student will be assigned to each host family. Students will complete a host family application to help the PIIE Office match them with families to the best of its ability. However, ideal matches cannot be guaranteed.
Students are encouraged to be flexible in adjusting to their new host family as they will be incorporated into an existing family system. Most students are fully satisfied with their host families and form life-long friendships. However, the placement can be changed if a student should feel unsafe or uncomfortable in their assignment for any reason. If a student plans to live with the host family for any period of time before or after the dates of the official semester, an additional "per day" rate will be charged. Alternative housing can be arranged when necessary; however, it is not directly affiliated with the program. Therefore, Millersville University will assume no responsibility for alternate accommodation arrangements.
Students may choose to study abroad either for a semester or for a full academic year. The PUCV academic year begins in March and ends in December of the same year. The first semester runs from early March to mid-July. The second semester starts in late July and ends in the third week of December. Before classes begin, study abroad participants will have a one week orientation program in country.
Refer to the PUCV Cost Worksheet (in the Cost section) for specific dates of the upcoming semester.
Studying abroad requires a student to plan for both academic costs/fees and personal travel expenses. It is important to keep in mind the cost of living and currency exchange rates compared to costs associated with living in Millersville. For example, living in a large city will be more expensive than living in Millersville. However, in other areas of the world, the cost of living may be less. Traveling while you are abroad is an additional expense for which you must also plan for realistically. Always keep your travel plans in financial perspective.
To help students plan for all academic costs, the Office of Global Education prepares cost worksheets for all official MU study abroad programs. These cost worksheets take into account all academic costs associated with studying abroad. Some of the amounts listed are estimated for budgeting purposes (airfare, meals, and living expenses); others are actual fees (tuition, passport fees, insurance, participation fees, etc.). Global Education does not provide estimates for additional personal travel.
Cost Worksheet(s):
Below is the most recent estimated cost worksheet for PUCV:
Cost Overview:
Students pay MU tuition (in-state or out-of-state depending on residency), the mandatory MU technology fee and an ABS program charge directly to Millersville. There is an additional non-refundable, non-transferable MU program participation fee and application fee paid directly to Millersville, due at the time of application. Students pay separately for accommodations.
Billing for study abroad at PUCV follows the regular Millersville billing cycle. Bills are sent out and due to MU on the customary schedule.
Students pay Millersville University tuition, a small tuition differential, and fees. There is an additional non-refundable, non-transferable MU program participation fee and application fee paid directly to Millersville, due at the time of application. Room and board are separate and are a student's individual financial responsibility.
Funding Your Experience
Students should investigate loans which may be available, such as Federal Student Aid. Students should contact the Financial Aid Office to determine if their scholarships are transferable, since scholarships have individual regulations.
One option is to research online on www.studyabroadfunding.org or stop by our office for additional opportunities. Please see Financial Considerations for more information.
Transfer of Credit
Students should work with their major/minor advisors to select courses which help them make academic progress. Courses may fit into their major(s), minor(s), and General Education requirements, where appropriate. The Office of Global Education cannot provide academic advice or determine class equivalencies.
After being accepted to study abroad, Transfer of Credits Form and detailed instructions are made available to students and must be completed before a student leaves. This form gives students and their major/minor departments the opportunity to determine potential course choices abroad and the MU equivalencies before departure. With advisor, department, and The Office of Global Education approval, the Transfer of Credits Form can also be amended while abroad, should students choose to register for other classes that was not originally approved.
After the study abroad program is completed and a transcript is sent to Millersville University, all courses taken will come back to Millersville as transfer credit. Consult the Undergraduate Catalog ("Transfer Credit") for details regarding Millersville University's transfer policy.
Volunteer Opportunities
Students may also take advantage of the English Opens Doors program, a semester-long opportunity to volunteer as an assistant to an English teacher in a local public school. Following a study abroad experience, this volunteer program is also available on a full-time basis, with teaching opportunities ranging from 10 weeks to 8 months available. With prior approval from the student's home department, internship or independent study credit may be awarded for the experience.
For more information about this program and other volunteer opportunities click here.
Student Visa
A student visa is required for all U.S. citizens studying in Chile for longer than 90 days. Refer to the following information provided by the Chilean Consulate in Philadelphia for further details. You should not begin the visa application process until after receiving official MU program acceptance.
Click here for student visa requirements.
U.S. citizens studying in Chile for fewer than 90 days will be required to pay a reciprocity tax, equivalent to the price of a student visa, immediately upon arrival in Chile but do not need to complete an application in advance.
To Apply
Refer to Global Education's home page at www.millersville.edu/globaled for the application release date and the final application deadline for each cycle. Approximate deadlines for applications are as follows:
- Fall: mid-February
- Spring: mid-September

Carving pumpkins is a Halloween tradition for many families and a thrill to many kids. But carving pumpkins can be perilous. According to a study published in the journal Pediatrics, Halloween is among the top holidays producing the most E-R visits for kids, partly due to finger and hand injuries. "Every year I would see typically two to three patients in that adolescent age range that sustained a pumpkin carving injury." Hand surgeons like Doctor Stuart Elkowitz have to repair the damage every Halloween. Stuart Elkowitz, "The most common injury I have seen with the pumpkin carving injuries are lacerations to the flexor tendons, which are the tendons that bend your finger."
Consumer Reports Medical Adviser Doctor Orly Avitzur has some tips on avoiding a Halloween accident. "Pumpkins are slippery and knives are sharp and that's just a bad combination. Instead, pick up one of these pumpkin-carving kits, which are available just about everywhere these days." The tools are smaller than a kitchen knife and easier to control. They can also saw through the rind without being razor sharp. Orly Avitzur "When you're carving, stabilize the pumpkin by holding the top and pointing the blade down as you saw. And be careful not to put your hand inside the pumpkin when you're cutting." Advice that hopefully will treat you and your family to a happy Halloween. Ted Tenthoff, "There's the nose. Nonni drew it. Nice job honey."
