Baltimore, Md. - Junior Shane Koppens scored three goals and added two assists to lead Loyola past Hobart on Saturday afternoon at Diane Geppi-Aikens Field. The Greyhounds, playing their final home game of the regular season, got the offense going early and often in a 17-10 sendoff on Senior Day.
"I told the guys to go out there and make a play for your seniors," says Loyola Head Coach Charley Toomey. "I think our guys came out with a lot of heart and hustled for the ball. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the way we played today."
Hobart took the early lead and held a 2-1 advantage when senior Dan Bauers took a feed from Joe Landry and knotted the game at 2-2 with 8:26 on the first quarter clock. Senior Dan Kallaugher won the ensuing face-off, picked up one of his game-high seven groundballs, and found Bauers for a score only six second after his first.
The goal, scored at 8:20 of the first quarter, gave Loyola a 3-2 lead, and the Greyhounds never looked back. After back-to-back tallies from senior Patrick Kennedy, Kallaugher won another face-off, only this time raced downfield to score himself.
Loyola scored a season-high six goals in the first quarter, eclipsing last week's five goals against Fairfield. The `Hounds matched that total with a season-high six goals in the second-quarter, again eclipsing last week's five goals against Fairfield. With two goals from Bauers, two goals from Kennedy, two goals from Koppens, two goals from senior Ryan Rabidou, and two goals from senior Andrew Spack, Loyola led 12-4 at the half.
The Greyhounds build their biggest lead at 15-5 with a goal from sophomore Jake Willcox at 11:38 of the third quarter and finished the game with 49 shots compared to 29 for Hobart.
Senior Carter Perry scored his first career goal in the win, while senior Greg Leonard added a goal and two assists on Senior Day. Kallaugher, the nation's fourth-ranked face-off man, won 18-of-29 face-offs to move his win percentage to .626 this season.
Sophomore goalie Alex Peaty played three quarter and made six saves. Goalie Connor Locke played the fourth quarter, making three saves for Loyola.
The Greyhounds improve to 7-4 overall and finish the conference season with a 5-2 ECAC record. The league win guarantees Loyola a second-place finish in the conference for the second straight year.
"We're pretty close," says Coach Toomey. "Our goal is to be a playoff team and right now we're pretty close."
Loyola closes the regular season next Saturday at rival Johns Hopkins. Game time from Homewood Field is slated for 1 p.m.

Genetic Testing Helps Single Out Leanness GeneBy Ben Hardin
June 22, 1999
Genetic testing of cattle may soon help breeders plan sure-bet matings to make production more efficient and ensure consumers get lean but tender steaks.
The key to this approach, according to Agricultural Research Service scientists, involves raising cattle with just one copy of a gene called inactive myostatin. Before birth, a calf with no copies of the inactive form produces a protein that limits the animal's potential to produce lean beef.
ARS scientists at the Roman L. Hruska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (MARC), Clay Center, Neb., found that carcasses from cattle with one inactive myostatin gene typically yield about 7 percent more edible lean beef than those from cattle without the gene. And the untrimmed carcasses have 14 percent less overall fat.
A calf with two copies of inactive myostatin is extremely muscular in the hind quarters. That condition, called "double muscling," is undesirable because birth assistance is often needed.
So the goal would be to produce slaughter animals with only one inactive copy of the gene. To do that and plan matings for herd replacements, breeders could use a genetic test to determine which forms of the genes animals have. Last fall, ARS and Celera AgGen, a PE Corporation business, entered a two-year Cooperative Research and Development Agreement to develop a genetic test aimed for commercial use.
MARC research shows that cattle with the inactive myostatin produce beef with less marbling, or intramuscular fat, as well as less fat outside of muscle. But in this case, less marbling doesn't always mean less tender. The scientists expect to pinpoint numerous genes that together control tenderness.
ARS is the chief research agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. An article about the beef leanness gene appears in the June issue of Agricultural Research magazine. The article is also online at:

Time to pick up your sword/lance/hammer/bowgun and go hunting. Monster Hunter Tri is a grand experience on the Nintendo Wii system for those who want to waste quite a few hours of their lives. Concept: Customize your character's weapons and armor and hunt some larger than life monsters.
Bare bones story, but that doesn't matter. It serves as a little excuse for you to play and lets you watch some grand cutscenes. However, I argue that the main draw of this game is the multiplayer.
Pretty good. They are not the best on the system, but they are not too bad either. The landscape is stunning, and there is a lot of detail
Epic seems pretty much the word.
Addicting. You never really level up your character, but what you do is gather a lot. The basic gameplay is to join a quest, complete the quest, rinse and repeat. The quests have some variance, but the general gist is to hunt, kill, and gather from the corpses of the many monsters. These materials can then be sold, or used to make better weapons or armor.
The best part of the game, though, is the incorporation of multiplayer. You use the character you created in singleplayer and hunt with up to 3 others. You first enter a server, then a gate (which holds 100), and then a city (which holds 4). It might seem like a pain, but it works. The system to play with friends or other players you've played with before is easy. Friendcodes do not exist here. All you do is walk up to the person, send a message and hit the thing that says "friend request" and other just needs to accept it. Once that happens, that person joins your list of which updates to show you who is online and who isn't. You can use that list to jump to where that person is if there is room in the gate or city. You can also send messages to friends who are online even if they are in a different city or gate. It's not perfect, but it is by far the best on the Wii (for comparison, play Brawl). The servers don't often lag, so if there is some, it might be due to your connection or someone else has a bad connection. But since you are really only connected with 3 others, it's not too hard to fix.
Quests are harder in multiplayer, but that should be expected. The other thing in there is the ranking system. When I said you don't level up, it's true in the traditional sense. You don't level up and have stats jump up. What does happen is ranking goes up. This indicates you have completed enough quests and so won't be much of a drag on the more professional players and it permits access to more quests. There is a server dedicated to players below a certain rank. After that, you can join the server with the higher ranks. There is a place though for all ranks if you want. Some players go there to help others and some to freshen up their skills after being gone for a while.
Also included is an arena. Here, you can go and face monsters either alone or with a friend splitscreen (or online). You are given an option of four sets to use, but that is useful in improving overall skill and lets you try out different sets than you would otherwise use.
Capcom placed a censor for the chat, but as we all know, people find ways around that when they are desperate to curse. If you have problems with that, you can always block that user. Some people use the wii speak system... probably nice to turn that off too for some people.
The controls fall under two main categories, Classic and Nunchuck. I personally default to the Nunchuck because it's easier to sort through items and pick up new ones from the ground. However, for better and more reliable combat, it's be best to use the classic. For online chatting, I hear you can use a USB keyboard which would make things a lot easier.
I personally would not care to spend another 100 hours to get my character good again, but since I did spend over a 100 hours playing it, it has playability. Just realize that you cannot move the data to another Wii console (probably because of the online component). Hopefully when the Wii U comes out, Nintendo will have a system that will let you do that.
I enjoy the game. If I need a heavy time waster, then this works. I spend most of my time online when I play. If you find a good party then it is an enjoyable adventure. Just realize that it may take a lot of your time if you get addicted to it. Here is a link to the official website: http://www.capcom.com/monsterhunter/#/en/
tip: Just remember that just because there is a girl character in the game, doesn't mean it's a girl playing the game.
Update: If you are planning on purchasing a Wii U, you might as well wait for Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate to come out in March of 2013. It's supposed to have better graphics and more stuff, plus the ability to play on the go if you have the 3DS version should be cool too.

Santa Anita: Pick six becomes chalk-fest, pays $1,852
ARCADIA, Calif. - The pick six paid $1,852 at Santa Anita on Thursday, a day in which favorites and second choices swept the action.
The pool started with a carryover of $87,195 from Sunday. Bettors added a robust $613,830 to the pool on Thursday.
The winners of the pick six races were Ranulf ($5.80), Vegas Street ($5.60), Princess Genevieve ($3.60), Jovita's Tuffy ($4.40), Power Foot ($7.20), and Secret Memo ($6.80). The first four winners of the pick six were favored. Power Foot and Secret Memo were the second choices. There were 224 winning tickets.
Thursday's $1 super high five paid $813.90. The pool began with a carryover of $26,513 from Sunday. Bettors added $169,864 to the pool on Thursday.
The first five finishers in Thursday's eighth race were Secret Memo, Rich in Tradition (8-1), Winninginfashion (6-1), Circular Logic (2-1 favorite), and Amina Perfect (7-1). The winning combination was 2-1-8-4-10.
I love how people complain about payouts. If you won, you should have LOST. That would be better right?
Thirteen years ago tomorrow, I hit a pick six at Santa Anita. Big fields, million dollar guaranteed pool, which was once the norm on bug days. I was in Vegas and spent $64 on my ticket. When I went to the teller to cash, he did a double take and asked me to wait a minute so he could check something. The payoff was $888.00 which included the 5 of 6 payoffs. A chalk fest can occur on any given day, at any given racetrack and has at many points in history.
When will the DRF ASK Santa Anita about the FAILURE of their Restricted 3 Doubles vs Rolling Doubles....after Day 10 the Doubles Handle is DOWN -$1,310,091.Bring back Rolling Doubles at 18% with a lower $1 minimum. Santa Anita is DOWN - $4.5 MILLION after Day 10 and yet DRF simply ignores this storyline.....why?
betting suicide here..ny in january has better payoffs ..thats sad
i found out about 10 years ago they got other tracks. at one time sa. was my #1.
only at s.a.
And there's how many more months of this???
Love Santa anita but this was a really bad card. The Msws were not even worth betting

2 Vietnam War veterans receive medals for saving lives
SAN DIEGO — When the battle was over, Marines who fought in Vietnam labeled Hill 881 South "a deadly killing zone" in the long siege of Khe Sanh.
Twenty-seven Marines were killed and 50 wounded — in all, 75 percent of the force that had been sent that day in April 1967 to wrest the hill from the dug-in enemy. (Khe Sanh was the scene of protracted sieges in 1967 and 1968.)
Marine Corps losses would have been even greater except for the courage of two Marine privates who were scared of dying but more scared of letting down their buddies.
So many officers were killed in Vietnam that spring that the paperwork needed to officially acknowledge the courage of the two young Marines — one from San Diego, one from Morro Bay, Calif. — was lost in the fog and blood of war.
At a recent reunion of Khe Sanh veterans, a retired major general heard of the oversight and vowed to make things right.
So on Friday morning, in a solemn ceremony at a boot camp in San Diego, Joseph Cordileone received a Silver Star and Robert Moffatt received the Bronze Star.
Cordileone repeatedly risked his life to get wounded Marines to safety even as they were being targeted by enemy snipers. Moffatt grabbed a machine gun from a mortally wounded comrade and led a furious counterattack against a numerically superior force.
Both saved the lives of Marines, officials said.
Each was wounded and refused to be evacuated while the fighting continued. Both are still grappling with physical and emotional wounds from Vietnam.
"If they can hear me," said Cordileone, his voice quavering slightly, "I want my 27 brothers who died on Hill 881 to know something: As long as I'm breathing, I will remember you and I will remember your sacrifice."
Cordileone is San Diego's chief deputy city attorney. Moffatt is a retired pipefitter and cost estimator who lives not far away in Riverside, Calif. Both are 66.
Cordileone and Moffatt dismissed the notion that they were heroes.
"We were doing what we were trained to do," Moffatt said.
Hill 881 South, Moffatt said, was "some of the most obscene and adverse conditions you can imagine." He and another Marine huddled together in a bomb crater: "We were literally bleeding on each other."
The audience at the ceremony included old comrades-in-arms and friends and family members of the two recipients — including Cordileone's cousin, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco.
"I'm so proud of him," said the archbishop, his eyes glistening.
At the ceremony were several hundred parents who had come to San Diego to watch their sons graduate from boot camp. A reporter asked Cordileone what advice he had for those soon-to-be Marines.
"Never leave your brother behind," he said, adding a moment later, "and do your best to keep him alive."

3 Ways To Instantly Increase Your Influence By Making Others Feel Important
Do you ever have problems getting others to do what you want? Is it hard for you to move others to action? It seems to be a common issue. It can be frustrating because so much of your ultimate success depends heavily on your ability to influence others. If you want to win in life, you have to be able to influence. It's unavoidable.
Whether you're a professional working at an organization, or an entrepreneur who is building your own business, your ability to persuade is essential if you want to become successful.
Here's the good news: Becoming more influential is not difficult. There are simple things you can do to gain more influence.
The issue isn't just being popular or more talkative. The issue is how you make others feel. It's a common saying: "People will forget what you say, but they will never forget how you make them feel." What would it be like if you were able to make other people want to do what you're asking?
It doesn't have to be difficult. You just need to make them feel what they want to feel. So how do they want to feel? They want to feel important. If you're going to influence others, you must be able to make them feel important.
Here are 3 tips you can use to instantly become more influential by making others feel important:
1. Gratitude
Gratitude is one of the most powerful ways to show people how important they are. It's been shown to enhance the relationships you can have with those around you.
Think about it. How often do people take time to express true, heartfelt gratitude to others? How did you feel the last time it happened to you? Exactly.
Expressing sincere gratitude is a wonderful way to get people to see that they truly matter. When you make people feel this way, they will attach these positive emotions to you.
And the great thing about this is that it's so easy! All you need to do is find something that the other person did that benefitted you in some way. It doesn't have to be something huge. Even the small things will work.
When you identify what the other person has done for you, take some time to let them know. You don't even have to do it face to face. I usually do it by email because I express myself better by writing.
Regardless of the method you use, make sure you do it. It'll increase your influence dramatically.
"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." – John F. Kennedy
2. Get Them To Talk
People love to talk about themselves. If you're trying to make others feel important, you would do well to remember this fact.
Showing people how important they are means getting them to talk as much as possible. You have to show that you are genuinely interested in what they are saying to you.
The best way to do this is to ask good questions. You need to ask questions that invite a longer answer. There are two types of questions you can ask in a conversation. These are close-ended and open-ended questions.
The difference? A close-ended question can be answered with just a "yes" or a "no" or another type of one-word answer. An open-ended question can't be answered with just a "yes" or a "no." The answer has to be longer.
Here's an example of each:
- Close-ended: Did you like the new Star Wars movie?
- Open-ended: What did you think of the new Star Wars movie?
See the difference? The open-ended question will get the other person to go into more detail about how she feels about the new Star Wars movie.
The more you encourage other people to talk, the more important they will feel. Again, they will attribute this feeling of importance to you.
3. Be Sincere In Your Praise
Praising the other person is a great way to show them that you think they are important. When you take the time to talk about the qualities they possess that you admire, it shows them that you are paying attention to the things they do right.
Similar to gratitude, praise can be a very powerful way to make the other person feel like they matter. We all love it when people notice the effort and hard work that we put forth.
Here's a caveat: it has to be sincere. Insincere praise is just meaningless flattery. If you're not being sincere, the other person will pick up on it. This will kill your influence efforts because they will feel like they are being manipulated. Needless to say, nobody wants to feel like they are being played.
When you are looking to give praise, try to pick out qualities that others have noticed. Look for their strengths. That way, when you offer your praise, you can bring up the fact that other people have noticed that they are strong in the area you are praising. This brings a "social proof" element to your praise that will have an even bigger impact.
After all, if you're telling them something good about themselves that others have noticed, why wouldn't that make them feel more important? The more effectively you praise others, the more important you will make them feel.
"If you're sincere, praise is effective. If you're insincere, it's manipulative." – Zig Ziglar
Being influential means having a positive impact on the people you wish to influence. The amount of influence you have is directly tied to the amount of value you bring.
When you make others feel important, you are giving them something that has immense value. That's why it's so effective.
Focus on showing others how much they matter to you. Not only will it make you feel more grateful, it will also make people more likely to let you influence them.
How do you make others feel more important? Please leave your thoughts in the comment section below!

Response to David Shneer
Association for Jewish Studies (AJS), Spring 2010
The author responds to David Shneer's article, "Jewish Museums on the American Ethnic Museum Landscape," which raises important questions about the role of ethnic museums in the construction and expression of ethnic identity in the United States. The response argues in support of Shneer's call for more responsive and visionary ethnic museums as well as for the development of new critical approaches to cultural representation in museums and cultural centers.

House of Worth
Dress (day bodice, evening bodice and skirt)
House of Worth, designer
French, 1858-1952
Dress (day bodice, evening bodice and skirt), ca. 1874
Silk; cotton
Center back length: 200.7 cm (79 inches)
Gift of the Goddard family 2005.89.12
The House of Worth gained its reputation as arbiter of taste in the nineteenth century after designer Charles Frederick Worth's gowns found favor with Austria's Princess Pauline von Metternich and later with France's Empress Eugénie. Worth's experience as a textile salesmen in England and France gave him a thorough understanding of the effect of his fabric choice on the cut and drape of a finished garment. As seen in the Museum's dress, the vogue at this time was for complex creations combining ribbons, draperies, pleated bands, and fringes. Worth combines these elements masterfully into an elegant autumnal ensemble of coordinating day (shown) and evening bodices and skirt.

Schindler's List (1993)
27 mistakes
Directed by: Steven Spielberg
Starring: Ben Kingsley, Caroline Goodall, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes
Vote on Schindler's List, Liam Neeson and more movies at The Big Fat List
Continuity mistake: When the train with the female prisoners arrives at the concentration camp Auschwitz 2 (Auschwitz Birkenau), you can see the brick stones of the wall of the tower of the "Gate to Hell" as it was referred to. In the next shot the locomotive is first seen driving through the gate tower followed by the wagons thereafter. It is not possible to see the brick stones before the locomotive drives actually through the gate.
Continuity mistake: When Schindler is leaving the factory, at the end of the movie, he starts to sob "I could have saved more". Two women approach him from the left side and hug him. When the angle changes the women are back behind and repeat the whole movement again.
Factual error: In the beginning, when the Germans are setting up the tables to record the names, one German puts down a plastic stamp pad. Stamp pads of that era were metal.
Factual error: Steven Spielberg didn't get permission to shoot the train arrival at the real Auschwitz. So he build the main entrance, but seen from the front side. The gate, left from the main gate proves that. So when the train 'enters' at Auschwitz, it in fact is departing Auschwitz, instead of arriving. Eleven minutes later, it's just the other way around. When the train departs, it's actually 'arriving'.
Continuity mistake: After Amon Göth shoots the second prisoner from the balcony the distinct sound is heard from the spent round being ejected from the rifle. He then takes aim to take another shot but doesn't, and instead you see him holding the rifle above his head. He then enters the bedroom and then ejects the hot spent round onto his naked lover lying on the bed, however he had already ejected the spent round after taking the last shot.
Continuity mistake: Near the end, Schindler pays a German officer about a dozen diamonds, in return for his workers. The diamonds when poured out of the bag are mostly together with one off to the right, but, in the next shot, they are more spread out with one off to the left.
Other mistake: Schindler is having the glass door of his office lettered. The style and size of how it is done changes during the scene.
Factual error: When the camera took a shot on a train coming to a station in Czechoslovakia, you can see electric cables above the train tracks. There was no such thing in Czechoslovakia as electrified trains in the 1940's. The electrification started in the 1950's.
Continuity mistake: When the Germans invade the Ghetto, one Jew pretends to be working for the Germans by picking up the luggage. He drops one suitcase right next to his foot when he salutes to the Germans. After the next shot which shows the Germans laughing, the suitcase is much further away from his foot.
Factual error: When Amon Goeth attempts to execute the Jewish factory worker for failing to produce enough hinges, Goeth cycles the actions of both inoperative weapons several times. At no time is an unfired round ejected from either handgun, which should have occurred, unless the unfired rounds were both jammed in the chamber (and the firing mechanisms had failed).
Factual error: In the opening scenes at the nightclub when Oscar is treating his new friends to dinner, they are singing "The Happy Wanderer" ("Der Fröhliche Wanderer"). This song was written by Friedrich-Wilhelm Moller shortly after WWII. The nightclub scene was supposed to have taken place in 1939.
Continuity mistake: After Schindler has negotiated with Goeth about continuing with the pot factory, there's a view of the entrance to the camp. In the close shots Schindler is almost alone, with a woman standing on the right. In medium shots there's a lot of people surrounding him.
Continuity mistake: After Amon shoots the second worker the camera is behind him and shows him aiming for another shot. The angle then changes to below and from the front and he is standing up with the rifle above his head.
Revealing mistake: In the scene where the women are laying in their bunks in the work camp and one lady is describing what she heard about the horrors of other concentration camps, at the end one woman puts up her hands to her face. You can see her fingernails are neatly manicured, something you'd think wouldn't be possible in a forced labor camp.
Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie all the prisoners are sitting outside the factory when a horseback rider shows up. Itzhak Stern and a few people close to him stand up. When the angle changes they are seated.
Continuity mistake: When the German commandant is speaking to the female servant in the basement his hands are at his side. The camera angle changes and his hands are in front of him.
Continuity mistake: Amon Goeth pulls out a German Luger to shoot the rabbi. The Luger jams so Goeth pulls out another pistol and pulls the slide back indicating a semi-auto handgun. The second also fails. Goeth gets frustrated and throws the gun on the ground. When the other Nazi picks it up, it's magically a revolver.
Revealing mistake: In the scene where the woman engineer is executed by Goeth's henchman, watch closely. First, her hair goes from being clear of her forehead, before she is thrown on the ground, to hanging in a fringe, so as to conceal the makeup appliance that replicates her being shot. Then, when she falls, a tube can be seen attached to her leg from an appliance on the ground.
Continuity mistake: In the beginning, a German sets up a table with an ink bottle on it. The cap of the bottle goes from the left of the bottle to the right of the bottle between shots
Factual error: When the train containing the women leaves Krakow-Plaszow and is mistakenly rerouted to Auschwitz (roughly 25 miles west of Krakow), the train is shown passing a mountain range. There are no mountains between Krakow and Auschwitz/Oswiecim.

shea moisture style milk?
I have been trying for the past 6 months or so to follow the Deva Rules for my curls. I recently got a deva cut and was talking with the lady about my routine.
She was not happy to find I was using the shea moisture style milk. Said it was not water soluble and was leaving buildup in my hair. I do like the way it feels in my hair though. Doesn't leave me feeling like I have a head full of hairspray, which is usually what happens with other style gels.
Is what she said true about the milk? Can anyone recommend something that I might like better that is deva approved.
Unmm I doing believe any SM stuff is not CG...
The Shea moisture curl enhancing style milk is cg friendly. It has a lot of oils & butter that can build up, but it rinses right out. I use it as well & love it.
Rather it is silicone/sulfate free. It has certified organic ingredients.
She LIED! SheaMoisture is 100% natural which is CG she was just trying to sell you stuff
Shea butter can build up on some people, but nothing a gentle lowpoo won't get out. SM products are well loved around here and yes CG-friendly
Thanks for the advice everyone. Can anyone recommend anything that is just a bit stronger. Most days I am ok with the SH but I would like something that can give me a stronger curl hold that still leaves my hair soft looking and to the touch.
Try mixing a hard hold gel WITH it. Something like Deva UDG or AIF. Increase amount until you get a nice
You can even use the sm milk with a light hold gel for no crunch & it works great.
Just because something is CG doesn't mean it can't build up. It has butters and oils so yeah it has potential to build up. If that happens just cleanse a little bit sooner than you normally do and then you're good to go. Your stylist is just concerned that if you don't cleanse often then your hair will get dry.
If you low poo often it shouldn't be a problem. It really depends on your hair. I can't co-wash shea butter out, I have to low poo. Have you ever tried to wash it off your hands? I'm a soap maker and use it often in my bars. I usually have to use my dish liquid to get it off my hands. I can see where your stylist is coming from, but I wouldn't say don't use it because of that, unless you are strictly cowashing.
Deva stylists never like stuff that isn't a deva product! Shea moisture is fine. I usually lie and say I like seva and go home and redo my hair lolz.
Just low poo and you should be good.
Polyquats are no friend 'o mine.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using CurlTalk App
I use the SM milk all the time, and don't find that it builds up for me. I don't low poo often at all. If you don't think it builds up, then don't worry about it. You know your hair better than she does.

Signing and Handwriting Business Christmas Cards
If your company will be sending Christmas greetings this holiday season, understanding and exercising proper business Christmas card etiquette is essential to make the best possible impression. A well-meaning gesture like sending business Christmas cards can have a negative impact if it is done without thought and care.
All corporate Christmas cards should be personally signed. If your company's card has a preprinted message including your name, it must be signed with your handwritten signature too. Adding a short, handwritten message to your business Christmas cards provides a warm, personal touch even if there is already a preprinted greeting. It shows your recipient that you took the time to think about them individually and that they are worthy of a few reflective moments.
Additional personalization goes a long way. Even if you cannot imagine having to handwrite each and every label on your business Christmas card list, you will be glad you took the time to do it in the end. Computer-generated labels are impersonal and present your holiday greetings as a mass mailing or marketing ploy. Your business Christmas cards should express your appreciation to colleagues, clients and friends as well as advertise your product or service.
Personally signing your business Christmas cards and handwriting the addresses is a great way to enhance and strengthen your current professional relationships. Sending signed and handwritten business Christmas cards is also a wonderful way to garner new customers, reconnect with previous clients and express gratitude for the support of your existing ones.

They messed up my car and take no responsiblily for it. So I will never use them ever and will not recommend anyone else not to use them.
There was some clunking shortly after picking up my car. I called then and kept my cool and remained monotone so that I could get this resolved. I asked when would be a good time to bring it in and we set a date and time. I asked if it still ok to drive my car, they said sure.
I arrive 30 mins ahead of schedule. I waited 4 hours for someone to check my car! They forgot to tighten the lower bolt on my rear strut. They tightened it while jacked up (sans jack stand) and never used a torque wrench on it under load. No apologies issued. Just them yelling at their undocumented workers who might I add work on customers cars (guys without formal training working on your expensive baby, egad!).
I left to go out of town and guess what, something back there snaps.
I call them again.
I explained the who I was and what car I brought in and I received these comments:
"I work on too many cars to remember your car and what we fixed"
"Look I'm busy with other peoples cars, I guess bring it back if you want, maybe we can get to you sometime"
I bring the car back and it turns out one of my H&R coilover locking collars broke. They said they never touched it, even though that is the same side they did all the work on. They offered no help and said we didn't touch that at all. One of the them even tried intimidating me by staring at me while "bowed" up. Class acts these fellows are not!
I call Turner Motorsports who along with H&R took care of everything for me. I do the work myself and lo and behold everything works fine.
OP you are better off looking for help from BigUgly, TJM, Bavarian Machine Specialties, etc, etc.

A spokesperson quoted Taliban leader, Baitullah Mehsud as calling for negotiations with the political parties that defeated President Musharraf in last week's parliament elections. "The Taliban movement welcomes the victory of anti-Musharraf political parties… and announces its willngness to enter into negotiations with them for bringing peace." Mehsud claimed "we want peace, but if they impose war on us, we will not spare them." The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz responded to the Taliban statement by stating President Musharraf has "mishandled the situation to stay in power."
It is difficult to believe Mehsud is interested in long term peace unless it follows his Taliban version of governance. He most probably is using anger against Musharraf to obtain a cease fire during which time he will regroup and rearm. There is no question Musharraf has bungled many things, including the war against militants, but arranging peace without serious disarmament of the Taliban would be a mistake.

My New Son!
I know I should just stick to thorium, but I'm so excited that I want to tell the world about the birth of my little boy: Elijah Frederick Sorensen, born today at 3:14 PM. He's 9 pounds and 22 inches long! Cute and inquisitive–his big eyes are wide open and taking the world in…
Update: pictures! (in the second one is my oldest daughter Zoe with *crazy* eyes!)

Let me just preface this by saying, "I am not a clean freak." Not that I think that's a BAD thing! Honestly, I could use a little more of that particular kind of freakiness. But lately, I can't stop cleaning stuff! :-) I don't really plan it out. I'll just notice something that I've probably overlooked (or tried to ignore) a thousand times before and suddenly I'll have to clean it! Right then, right there. And since it doesn't happen probably nearly as often as it should…I try to go with it when the urge strikes!
Witness this afternoon. I was working on the MILLION and one things I need to get done before the Open House for my son and his new bride next Saturday, when I noticed the faucet handle in my bathroom that today seemed particularly yucky! I swear, I clean my bathroom sink on a fairly regular basis, but after awhile, make-up and hair spray seem to combine to form an almost impenetrable film on everything around my sink. I have wiped this particular faucet knob a million times, but the make-up/hairspray gunk refuses to budge. For some inexplicable reason, today is the day I decided enough was enough.
I went to the cupboard under my kitchen sink where I now keep a supply of my favorite "miracle cleaner" (it's just baking soda and peroxide but "miracle cleaner" sounds more impressive.) The "paste" was all dried out since my last cleaning attack…but a couple squirts of peroxide and it was ready to go! (I took a picture of my little bowl, but for some reason it didn't turn out.)
First, I worked on the faucet.
Second, I decided to attack the crease around the sink edge that also collects that stubborn-to-remove make-up/hairspray gunk.
Third, my eye was drawn into that corner that never seems to quite get completely clean. Mostly because it's a corner…and it's trickier to get in there and get the gunk.
Many, many other tasks demanded my attention today….so I decided to call that good, for now. That was until I moved my Chi hair straightener out of it's usual place (while I was cleaning) and saw the horrible "burney spot" that's been there for a couple of years now.
I think you can surmise what happened here. I assure you, I have tried and tried and tried to get that stuff off (mainly because of the dirty looks I get from the hubster each time he notices it), but NOTHING has worked. I seriously doubted even my "miracle cleaner" was going to have a chance here….but you know I had to try.
No kidding. Pinky Swear. I actually laughed out loud for real and summoned the hubster immediately.
I think his exact words were, "No way!" WAY!!
So, that was my afternoon. When I SHOULD have been sewing, baking, shopping and planning for next Saturday's celebration….I was cleaning my bathroom sink and giggling like a school girl over it.
Life is never what I expect…..and I wouldn't change a thing! :-)

With the UK's first eight megapixel cameraphone, the Samsung i8510, scoring a glowing review from us today you can see why the company would be keen to capitalise...
Consequently, timing itself very nicely then is GSM Arena's scoop for the 'M8800' - the mysterious touchscreen Samsung eight megapixeler that was leaked by Carphone Warehouse last week. Helpfully snapping it beside a Samsung Omnia), GSM Arena says the codenamed 'Bresson' has been renamed the 'Pixon' and has a whole bunch of snaps and a complete run down of specs. Here we go:
- Quad-band GSM, tri-band HSDPA
- 107.9 x 54.6 x 14.9 mm, 110 g
- 3.2in, 400 x 240 pixel touchscreen display
- 8 megapixel camera, autofocus, face recognition with smile detection and blink detection, WDR (wide dynamic range), ASR (advanced shake reduction), GPS geotagging, ISO 1600, WVGA (720x480 pixels) and VGA (640 x 480 pixels) 30fps video recording
- Built-in GPS receiver
- Accelerometer
- DivX playback
- FM radio with RDS
- microSD /microSD HC card slot
- Bluetooth
- Landscape virtual QWERTY keyboard
- Handwriting recognition
- ShoZu integration - direct image and video upload
- Office document viewer
Obviously missing points are the onboard memory and the slightly strange news that WiFi seems to be missing. It also apparently shares the Omnia's Windows Mobile 6.1-based OS so there may sadly be a few chinks in its armour.
That said, there's still no official word from Samsung though a promo clip has also leaked out which really let's the cat out of the bag. Sadly it takes the unfortunate Apple-esque route of speeded up phone functionality renderings. We do wish those would go away...
Expect something to spill from Korean lips very soon.
Update: Now official in a viral, artsy kinda way at thephotographicadventuresofnickturpin.com. Still no WiFi mentioned...

Embedding 'philosophy in the classroom' in pre-service teacher education
Curtis, Elizabeth M. (2010) Embedding 'philosophy in the classroom' in pre-service teacher education. In Toomey, Ron, Lovat, Terry, Clement, Neville, & Dally, Kerry (Eds.) Teacher Education and Values Pedagogy : A Student Wellbeing Approach. David Barlow Publishing, Terrigal, NSW, Australia, pp. 108-120.

The holistic conception of the troika, as described in the first chapter, centres on the relationship between the implicit and explicit teaching of values the nurturing of the specific dimensions of quality teaching and the opportunity to 'walk the talk' of the values education program through aspects such as practical citizenship (Lovat, Toomey, Clement, Crotty & Nielsen, 2009). It is proposed in this chapter that the conception can be realized through the embedding of Philosophy in the Classroom within pre-service teaching programs. The troika, a Russian sleigh with three horses, only function well when there is complete synergy and balance between all Classroom is a scaffold for ensuring that all three elements of the troika, namely, quality teaching, values education and service learning in the form of education for citizenship, exist within the classroom to achieve an optimal learning, growth and wellbeing for all students. For this to be more widely accomplished Philosophy in the Classroom and discusses how it constitutes a successful synergy and balance of the troika for effective teaching. It then proposes how it might be embedded into pre-service teacher education.

Miranda Kerr: Chateau Marmont Chick
Posted Thursday January 10, 2013 9:41 AM GMT
Leaving the boys home for the evening, Miranda Kerr showed up at Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood last night (January 9).
The Victoria's Secret stunner met up with a few gal pals and looked like she was ready for a good time in her little black dress teamed with ruby red high heels.
Earlier in the day, Miranda took her adorable little boy Flynn with her to a ballet studio in Hollywood for an intense workout.
And it seems Ms. Kerr thoroughly enjoyed her fitness regimen, as she tweeted her gratitude to her instructor afterwards- "Thanks Andie Hecker @balletbodiesla for an amazing workout!"
Enjoy the pictures of Miranda Kerr at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood (January 9).

Cadillac Seville / Cadillac Eldorado Forum Discussion, 99' STS ANyone know any mods? in Past Cadillac Vehicle Discussion; Originally Posted by danbuc Mark, is your Z-rated or H-rated? I can't remember what you said it was. Mine is ...
Re: 99' STS ANyone know any mods?Originally Posted by danbuc
Mine is H-rated. I agree with the Kid, top end is not what it is all about, but how fast you can get from 0-60, or 40-80, etc. That's where you'll beat someone or be beaten. Now that mine is turbocharged, I see it as a second gear car mostly. 1st is geared to low for this kind of power unless I'm at the track with slicks. 2nd is where I shine on the street and will be tough to beat. It's certainly not bad in 3rd either.
Re: 99' STS ANyone know any mods?
How can one determine whether a car is H or Z rated or are we speaking of tires here?

Read the tire rating on the inside of the drivers door.

Re: 99' STS ANyone know any mods?
The two inches of clearance underneath a car running nascar is the biggest reason its able to go so quick. The gearing in those cars are extremely close together up around the range there gonna be running the race in. But after thinking about this what actually governs the car? If it was the computer im sure there must be a junkyard'd Z rated out there that could be swapped out for. If thats even possible to do.

A small drag chute would keep it stable....and yes, I'm sure the car would reach terminal velocity well before 175mph. My sarcasm hasn't been what it used to be lately....for some reason, it never comes out right.
If you dropped it high enough, say 60k feet, then you would probably reach that speed no problem.

Inspiration & Scripture for Waiting Adoptive Families
On Waiting...
we need to be reminded who is in control of our life and our
Copy the statement and verse below and put it on your bathroom
mirror, refrigerator and your computer.
God is in Control
of My Adoption.
Fear not I am with you… Isaiah 41:10
On Worry...
For this reason I say to you, do not be
worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you
will drink; nor
for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than
food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the
air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and
yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more
than they? And who of you by being worried can add a single hour
to his life? And why are you worried about clothing? Observe
how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they
spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory
clothed himself like one of these. But if God so clothes the
grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown
into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little
faith! Do not worry then, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What
will we drink?' or 'What will we wear for clothing? For the Gentiles
eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows
that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and
His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Matthew 6:25-33
On Trust...
The Lord is
my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am
helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with
my song will I praise him.
Psalm 28:7
On Wisdom...
If God Almighty, up above,
Creator of All, Creator of Love,
Can fill our hearts with total content;
Then we understand what's meant.
A precious new baby makes our heart swell,
And God surely knows; He did His job well!
By Lynn Lutz
On Children...
Children are a Heritage from the Lord.
Psalms 127:3
on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen
thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
Psalm 27:14

Dear Forum members,
I just watched this tutorial about FBIK in Maya on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KYaO-TOV9Q
I did the following steps like the instructor did but instead of getting the handles I only get big spheres at my skeleton when adding the FBIK system. And the rig behaves differently. When the guy stretches the arm towards the upper left for example, the whole skeleton moves nicely. But my rig is not moving. Even if I unpin everything. Is there a different workflow in Maya 2011?
Best, Michael

Wash and Gos?
Sorry if this sounds ignorant, but I'd like someone to clarify something for me. I don't get this whole thing about "wash and go". When someone describes how they do a wash and go, it just sounds like a typical hair routine; washing, conditioning, and styling. What makes a wash and go different? How is it defined?
I've always wondered the same thing. Maybe it's taking less time styling?
There are certain methods that take some time to do, such as diffusing, super soaking, plopping, twisting, etc. I think a wash and go is literally just washing your hair, putting in stylers, and going about your day.
A wash and go for me would be washing my hair, conditioning, and allowing to air dry, maybe adding gel
For me, these things would not be "wash and go":
Yes, like other curlies have described, a wash and go is just a simple routine for curly hair. I only do wash and go's because nothing else works for me. I cowash my hair, add products, and go.
^^Yep, agreed, it's just styling and wearing the hair "curly". I think "wash & wear" is more accurate, but the clothing associations makes it sound weird lol

Well I failed at getting a pumpkin donut recipe baked yesterday like I planned, but this morning after I had a coffee, I got right to work. I was to have company come for coffee this afternoon, and thought it would be a nice treat! (Once I found out company wasn't coming, my kids devoured most of them!)
This recipe is based on Oh She Glow's Pumpkin Spice Donuts… It is no longer vegan as I used real butter and milk. It is however egg-free.
Pumpkin Spice Mini Donuts
- 6 T skim milk + 3/4 tsp white vinegar
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/4 c organic raw sugar
- 3 T unsweetened applesauce
- 2 T lightly packed brown sugar
- 2 T melted butter
- 2 t baking powder
- 1/4 t baking soda
- 1 3/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 t sea salt (ground)
- 1 c all-purpose flour
- 1/2 c whole wheat pastry flour
- 2 T melted butter
- 3 T raw sugar
- 2 T cinnamon
Using a disposable pastry bag pip around inner ring on pan, if you do not have one you can use a ziplock baggie, however I recommend using a freezer grade one as a sandwich one will break easily as the dough is thick. Or make a parchment cone. Smooth out dough with damp fingers.
Place in the oven for approximately 10 minutes, or till the donuts spring back up when pressed.
I immediately removed donuts from pan and put them on a wire rack to cool, as I only have one mini pan, and needed to clean and use it for a second batch.
Optional topping: Melt the 2 T of butter and combine the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl or plate.
I dipped the mini donut top barely in the butter and set back on the wire rack and let sit for a couple minutes, as I found when dipping in the sugar right away way too much sugar mixture stayed on the top. I was going for a light coating.
As much as the topping is optional, it really makes the donut taste, well… like a donut. It still maintains a lower calorie count that a fried donut using this method, and well if it doesn't taste good it's not worth eating in my opinion!!
Nutritional info without topping: 44cal, 1g protein, 8g carbs, 1g fat
…with topping (approx): 51cal, 1g protein, 9g carbs, 2g fat

Don't tell the boss, but here at DO, we start the weekend on Thursday … and there are plenty of options for y'all who just can't wait!
Jepson Café also seems to believe in the power of Thursdays, as they are offering up their first Art on Tap, featuring Southbound Brewing Co. In the coming weeks, they will feature a different Georgia brewery each week to pair with their tasty food offerings. Some of our DO staffers recently had the pleasure of sampling lunch at the café, and like most things in Savannah, it definitely lives up to the hype! Cost of admission gets you not only a drink and appetizers, but also admission to the museum. Sounds like a pretty good deal to start out your weekend.
Thursday also ushers in the return of "Les Miserables" at the historic Savannah Theatre. Back by popular demand, this hit musical will only be offered for eight shows between Jan. 16-25. Catch it while you can!
Speaking of music, are you "In the Mood" for some classic 1940s swing music? This big band review at The Lucas will be in town for two shows only, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Friday. Tickets range from $16-$65, so there's certainly a seat to fit every budget.
If modern music is more your thing, Friday also offers Meth Dad, Chiffon and Boy Harsher at Hang Fire. Meth Dad touts this dance party/concert tour as "the biggest and best one-man party show in the galaxy." Come out and see for yourself!
Saturday offers more music, this time in the form of a free, you heard us, free concert by Connecticut-based jam band The McLovins. These guys apparently got their name from a 2008 viral video of them playing a Phish tune, in which commenters continuously pointed out their resemblance to McLovin, a character from the film "Superbad." Considering they now have 13,000-plus Facebook likes, sounds like that viral video was only the beginning of a very good thing.
We've also got a few events on our list that will benefit charity, so how about building up some good karma while you have a good time?
First up is the MLK 5K and Festival, taking place Saturday morning and afternoon in Forsyth Park. This inaugural event was organized by Lady Mahogany and proceeds benefit Blessings in a Book Bag, which makes sure schoolchildren have plenty to eat through the weekend. Along with the heart-healthy athletics, there will also be nutritional seminars, healthy food samples and music from several local bands, including A Nickel Bag of Funk.
Out on Tybee, Doc's Bar has teamed up with a group of musicians to raise funds for Savannah natives Ryan Buttimer, who recently had a successful kidney transplant, and his sister, Erin, who donated her kidney. The Renal Fundraiser offers darts and pool tournaments Saturday, with the main event Sunday offering a silent auction, games and music from several well-known performers, including Niche and the Train Wrecks. All funds will go toward the sibling's medical expenses.
Feel like some flicks this weekend? Savannah has you more than covered in that category. First up is the Mountainfilm Fest on Tour, which brings a variety of adventure-themed films from all over the world to Trustees Theater on Friday and Saturday. "Mountainfilm is not just a film festival. It's a gathering of like-minded people who share mankind's challenges and who believe we must be good stewards of this earth. Come be inspired!" local organizer Zelda Tenenbaum enthusiastically told us.
Starting Sunday with dates through Feb. 1, the Savannah Jewish Film Festival returns with an interesting slate of movies lined up. Film Scene's Jim Reed has all the details and offers up his top picks in this week's column.
And finally, who's hungry? Getting in on the game Savannah diners have been privy to twice yearly, Tybee Island is starting its own Restaurant Week. Beginning Friday and ending Jan. 26, the Tybee Island Tourism Council has lined up 11 dining establishments serving up a three-course prixe fixe dinner for $25-$30 per person, and CoCo's Sunset Grille is even offering a special $15 lunch menu. The deals don't get much better than that, folks.
Oh, and go ahead and throw out those weight-loss resolutions, because after Tybee's week comes Savannah Restaurant Week from Jan. 24-Feb. 2. Expect more details on that in next week's issue of DO Savannah.
This is but a small sampling of what's happening in and around the city. If you need more options, just go to our Big Calendar, the region's most comprehensive list of happenings.
Think we missed something? We'd love to hear from you, and there are plenty of ways to get in touch: on Facebook, through Twitter, or email at email@example.com.
No excuses, Savannah! Here's your guide, so get out there!

Wiring Basement Bathroom Advice
I'm adding a bathroom in my basement and need some input. I will be adding a room light, shower light, & vanity light, plus 2 outlets. I currently have 6 floursent lights in basement each having 2 32watt bulbs on a single circuit breaker. I want to add the new bathroom lights to this same circuit, if my load calculations are right this should be ok. Correct?
I will then add a whole new circuit for the 2 outlets, one being GFI.
Am I good to go with this plan? If not please give advice.
Nope, bathroom needs it's own circut.
20 amp GFI outlets.
One 20 amp circuit is sufficient for a basic bathroom. Full bath? 1/2 Bath?
Remember. A hair dryer pulls about 1500 watts all by itself. And make sure you think ahead. Whirlpool tub?
Joe. Where is this a requirement?
Yes the lighting for the barh can come off the existing basement lighting circuit, but the aervice recepticle for the bath, needs its own 20amp if in the U.S., and believe that for Canad, you can get away with a 15amp.
The outlets (GFI) would be a NEW 20 amp circuit.
Since I'm putting a new 20 amp circuit in....
Is it standard for a whole bathroom to be on the same circuit? (3 lights, 2 outlets) The hair dryer was the main reason for me splitting them up.
Sent from my iPhone using DIY Forum
My personal opinion is if you are going to the trouble to do it, do it better. Yes you could get by with the lights on the existing circuit, but then you would be limited as to what you could do with that circuit in the main basement.
So if you are going to the trouble to add a circuit, add two. Do it better. Plus you made no mention of a fan.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/6/2014 (1117 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Heads-up base running by Marshal Burgess proved to be the difference in a tightly contested Prairie West High School Baseball League championship game on Friday at Andrews Field.
The Vincent Massey Vikings centre-fielder and pitcher took advantage of a wild pitch in the bottom of the eighth inning to advance to third base and then scored when three Boissevain Bronco players went after a Mitch Lyall pop-up in foul play in front of Massey's dugout and nobody covered home plate after the ball was caught.
It was one of the strangest walk-off sacrifice flies in a high school baseball game, but Burgess was just happy for Massey's 3-2 extra-inning victory.
"In a game like this, you have to be ready for anything," he said. "You see an opportunity like that, you have to pounce on that and we certainly did."
Burgess finished the game 0-for-2 at the plate, but reached base twice when he was hit by Bronco pitcher Jay Pringle.
Burgess, a 5-foot-11, 185-pound Grade 11 student came around to score on both occasions. Clark Whelpton drove him home with a groundout in the first.
Jordy Stallard scored Massey's other run off a Brett Kitt single in the fourth. It was the only hit Massey managed all game.
Jay Pringle and Skylar Canada scored Boissevain's runs in the fourth on singles by Jordan Foote and Brandyn Janssens, respectively.
Pringle took the loss on the mound, and it was tough for him to swallow. The Grade 10 student threw a complete game one-hitter, but five walks, two hit batters and a fielding error proved to be the undoing of the Broncos.
"This year to come second is really close and we had them on the ropes for a little while," said Pringle, whose team beat the Dauphin Clippers 3-0 in the league semifinals earlier in the day.
Massey beat the Virden Golden Bears 9-3 in the other semifinal.
Burgess not only scored the winning run for Massey, he also got the win on the mound. He came on in relief of Whelpton in the sixth and gave up five hits, with two strikeouts. Some solid defence, however, got him out of jams in each inning.
Burgess struck out Foote, and Pringle was caught stealing third on the same play in the sixth. Burgess then survived having runners on first and third with two outs in the seventh.
In the eighth, Boissevain had runners on second and third with one out, but Pringle got thrown out at home on a groundball, and then Jordan Robertson fired it back to third to catch Canada trying to advance a base to end the inning. Burgess stepped up on the basepaths after that to play hero.
"I obviously didn't have my best stuff, but my defence helped me out there," he said. "When you have defence like that, it's pretty easy to throw strikes because you don't have to pitch around people and can give them strikes and let the D help you out."
Whelpton started for Massey and gave up two runs on four hits in five innings.
Pringle and Canada both went 2-for-4 with a run for Boissevain, which lost to Massey in the provincial semifinals last weekend.
Friday capped a great season for the Vikings. They also won the provincial championship last week and dropped just one game all season.
The team could be tough next season too as the Vikings lose only four players to graduation along with Burgess, who is heading to the Okotoks (Alta.) Dawgs Baseball Academy in January.
Massey coach Faron Asham wasn't looking that far ahead after Friday's final and was just proud of his players for their accomplishments.
"This was a group that had some work to do at the beginning of the season," he said.
"They pledged themselves to each other that they were willing to put in the work and it shows if you're willing to put in the work and you have the skill to go with the hard work then good things will happen. This was a good team and good things happened to it."
