Our average speed rarely exceeded 11mph. But my brother and I didn't care. We hadn't come to break any speed records or to develop our collective muscle tone, but to fill our lungs with perfumed spring air and to savour the English countryside coming to life after its last, miserable year. We were spending a long weekend cycling through Wiltshire, Avon and Gloucestershire, while spring sprung, lambs gambolled and beer gardens beckoned all around us
Only once did my cycle computer register a top speed of more than 25mph - and that was, if I recall the occasion properly, when I raced down a Gloucestershire hill ringing my bell frantically and shouting at a bunch of joggers: "I'm out of control, out of control! Get out of the way or you will die!"
For the rest of the journey, we were plodders, riding two abreast, chatting about nothing in particular and wondering if there would be a nice pub round the next corner. Usually, there was. True, we went more slowly because we were weighed down by panniers but, in any event, we were in no hurry to get anywhere. I had come from London and my brother from Birmingham, both longing for a bit of peace and quiet and to breath air not filled with exhaust fumes.
We were cycling along superb traffic-free routes and quiet country lanes that form part of an 8,000-mile national cycle route devised by Sustrans, the charity supported by the Millennium Fund. The gradients were negligible, the off-road sections easily manageable, the apple blossom dangling and fragrant - everything was delightful apart from the terrible clanking from my bottom bracket that started just outside Chippenham on Friday lunchtime. Helpfully, it gave us a good excuse to stop for a drink. After pints at a canal-side pub in Bradford-on-Avon, we went to a bike shop and bought the relevant lubricant, before rolling along the bucolic Kennet and Avon canal into Bath.
That was one of the best things about the route we had chosen: at every turn bike shops were open and ready to pump up our tyres, grease our bearings and do lots of other things that sound like double entendres, but aren't. One of the worst things, though, was that - in common with most cycling tours in Britain - it was hard to eat interestingly or even healthily. Lunches at rustic boozers are all very well now and again, but Neil and I quickly tired of meals that came invariably with chips and a horrible salad consisting of limp iceberg lettuce, a single tomato wedge and a few rings of red onion.
At Bath, after an astute dinner of pasta (good food for cyclists, according to my brother), we went back to our B&B to lay our weary limbs down for the night. But we were woken at 4am by some travelling rugby fans trying to kick in doors to get into their rooms. This was irritating enough, but breakfast was worse. We had assumed that the rugby fans would be too drunk to make breakfast, but we were wrong. "Welcome to hell!" shouted the man in a rugby shirt, shorts and sun hat as he came into the breakfast room.
These disturbances made us grouchy as we cycled from Bath to Bristol along a former railway track. We took against the whimsical public sculptures of metal passengers standing on disused platforms awaiting trains that would never arrive and we said very nasty things about Sustrans when we got lost near a large sewage works, although it wasn't their fault.
And when Neil produced from his panniers two tins of those new coffees that (some how) warm up if you push a button on the bottom, we didn't care for their taste.
After a while, though, we cheered up. Our quiet Saturday morning route was filled with tolling bells, bleating sheep and a host of daffodils. We pedalled oblivious of the fact that we were in the middle of built-up Bristol, such was the enfolding greenery around us. We crossed through the city centre with little trouble, thanks to Sustrans' route, and soon found ourselves splashing each other with mud as we rode out of town through the Avon Gorge Nature Reserve path and under the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
This ride turned out to be an unwitting homage to bridges - those cathedrals of the industrial age. No sooner had we left the Avon path than we were in the shadow of the mighty M5 bridge over the river. Soon the route hoisted us up on to the bridge's cycle path and, out of breath, we stopped. A six-lane roar to the left of us, a dizzying view to the right: the good thing about being on a bike rather than in a car on these bridges is that you can stop on them and stare. We did this repeatedly: later that day we crossed the Severn Suspension Bridge on the M48 and stood for a while, swaying as articulated lorries passed, and looking at England on one side and Wales on the other, both in mist. And then we looked the other way to the M48 bridge's brother, the M4 striding across the lower part of the estuary. Car drivers don't have access to such wonderful views.
That night we were unlucky with our accommodation again. The pub in Chepstow rang me on my mobile to say they had overbooked and had put us up in Marilyn's B&B nearby. Marilyn turned out to be a delightful woman who had thrown open the doors of her house to us only in extremis. It was her husband's birthday and she had not planned to have guests, but in our case she would make an exception. She asked us if we would mind having some dinner at the pub and returning before 8.45pm so that they could turn on the burglar alarm and lock us in while they went out to celebrate.
In normal circumstances we would have objected. But that night we were so tired that it seemed a good idea. And so there we were, two thirtysomething men with all Saturday night before us, locked in a suburban Chepstow house like dirty shut-ins while children played in the street. But we were soon and soundly asleep: country air and 100 miles of cycling under out belts did for that.
Sunday was a mad scamper from Chepstow to Gloucester to make the 2.30pm train. My thighs really hurt and there was a terrible pain in my left shoulder brought on, I feel sure, by the fact that I only had one pannier rather than two to balance the load. If Neil was suffering, too, he manfully kept his woe to himself. Still, this was a lovely ride. Back over the Severn Bridge and along some obligingly flat countryside, through quiet villages we rode.
At Berkeley, I slugged down a yard of pop and shoved down a Mars bar. We were hurrying now, or at least relatively: our average speed passed the all-important 12mph barrier. There wasn't time to visit the Slimbridge Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust. We had a train to catch. Instead, we pelted along the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal towpath, and then through a series of pretty villages and lanes that are not strangers to cow pats.
We had a terrible time of it going along the busy dual carriageways of Gloucester on the way to the station. Bloody Sustrans, I thought. But now, looking at the map, I see that there is a very helpful route to the station that I didn't notice at the right moment. It didn't matter too much: having stowed our mighty metal steeds in the guard's van, we rode back to London with memories of the English countryside coming to life again. I fell asleep, tired but happy: we'd been welcomed to hell, but managed to escape into something much more heavenly.
Way to go
Getting there: The Severn and Thames Sustrans route can be accessed from many rail stations including Chippenham, Bradford-on-Avon, Bath Spa, Bristol Temple Meads, Chepstow and Gloucester.

If Andrea was hoping her carp-loving hubby was going to just jet off into the sunset and leave her to her own devices, she is very much mistaken.
Her face drops when Neil says he's turned down his latest overseas job and will be sticking around to try and win her back.
Which, to be honest, is not only thick-skinned of Neil but just plain thick.
His wife holds him in as much regard as a squashed maggot.
Still, Neil ploughs ahead with operation "Win Wife Back" by taking her out for a drink so they can have a private chat.
Not surprisingly Lloyd is none too happy to learn about their little rendezvous and muscles in to put a stop to it, especially as their chat seems to be going down Cosy Cul-de-Sac via Memory Lane and Nostalgia Avenue.
Neil is given his marching orders, but Lloyd's perturbed to spot his rival's car still lurking outside his flat hours later.
If you thought Neil was persistent, he's about to turn downright stalkerish.
Restraining orders at the ready!
Driven to despair
She dreamt of the Maldives, or at the very least, "Somewhere hot with a beach where they don't rob English people".
She got North Wales.
Poor Deirdre is putting on her bravest face as she and Ken roll up in the countryside dragging their trusty caravan behind them.
There's no doubt this couple needs some time alone to reconnect, but cuddling up on a fold-down banquette and debating whose job it is to empty the chemical toilet probably isn't the answer.
While Ken is clearly delighted to be at one with nature, you only have to look at Deirdre's face to realise she'd rather be at home ogling Paul Hollywood on Bake Off and nursing a large Merlot from the comfort of her sofa.
Will this little trip really bring them closer together – or widen the already lake-sized gulf?
Meanwhile, back in Weatherfield, Leanne's week gets worse, the only highlight, and yes it is a highlight given her current state, is that Dev offers her a job in his kebab shop.
Chilli sauce with that?
She's furious when she takes Simon to visit Peter in prison and finds him in a sozzled state, and raging later in the week when Nick fakes another seizure in front of concerned onlookers.
It's enough to tip her over the edge as she storms into a Platt celebration at The Bistro for Kylie's birthday and goes berserk.
Forget smash and grab. This is Leanne's version – grab and smash.

Insulating my attic using 4X8 rigid foam board
To get more R value in my attic conversion project I am adding 1" foam board after putting R-21 into my 2X6 rafters. I am using unfaced batts and was planning on using foam board with foil backing. Question, most foam boards come with backing on both sides. Would this constitute a double moisture barrier? I didn't think so, but want to make sure before putting up. Sheetrock will be put up after foam board.
No, do not add rigid insulation on top of fiberglass, it does add a second moisture barrier. You could install it next to the drywall between the studs, then add fiberglass on top.
I hope that you are not insulating with R-21 fiberglass between 2x6 rafters. If you are insulating tight to the bottom of the roof sheathing you will have moisture issues. You need to have a 1-1/2" airspace between the top of the insulation and the bottom of the roof deck, with ventilation top and bottom. Rigid insulation wouldn't be my choice. It won't provide a solid surface to appy a finish over like drywall.
Make sure you get some rafter vents to staple in there against your roof sheathing.
Thanks for the feedback.
I have already installed air channels on the bottom of the roof sheathing and then plan on using unfaced R-21 before putting on the foil faced foam board. The sheetrock will fasten to the 2X6 rafters with 3" screws so I don't understand why you think there will not be a solid surface.
I know I will have to compress the R-21 (5 1/2 in) just a bit not to affect the air channel.
Foil has a vapor permiability of almost zero. It's the most efficient vapor retarder you can get. As long as it's on the warm side of the assembly, no moisture can get into the rest of the insulation. I've seen this done without any problems. I wouldn't do it on a wall, but a ceiling may be OK. The problem with using foam on the inside of the walls, is that if anyone leans against the wall, the foam will compress and the screw heads will pop through.
Very good read: http://www.homeenergy.org/archive/he...95/950309.html Be safe, G

Brendan McGillicuddy
Thursday, May 17, 6 pm
Art Gallery of Alberta
Free with Gallery Admission
Located within exhibition spaces, Conversation with the Artist features informal and engaging talks between the artist, curator and audience.
Brendan McGillicuddy's new installation, Anthropocene, takes a painting, created by German Romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich in 1823-1824 as its point of departure. The painting, entitled Das Eismeer (The Sea of Ice), depicts a vessel barely visible, crushed beneath a mountain of jagged ice. McGillicuddy's work however, created using fiberglass and styrene foam, comments on the shifting relation of power that has occurred between nature and humanity from the 19th to the 21st centuries, in which humankind has come to be a force of nature in its own right with enormous geological impact.
Artist Bio
Brendan McGillicuddy received a BFA in Sculpture from the Alberta College of Art + Design. Following his undergraduate studies, McGillicuddy went on to pursue an MFA in Sculpture at Parsons, The New School For Design, in New York City.
His work has been exhibited internationally in New York, Chicago and Alberta. In 2009, he received a commission from the Edmonton Arts Council to build a site-specific sculpture for the Callingwood Recreation Centre in Edmonton.
McGillicuddy relocated to Alberta from New York in 2011 and currently resides in Calgary.

This collection of devotional cards featuring St. Vincent de Paul is part of the Vincentian Studies Collection at DePaul University Libraries Special Collections. These cards span several centuries and many languages, and show the religious iconography surrounding St. Vincent de Paul, St. Louise de Marillac, and the various religious and lay orders founded by them.
The majority of the materials collected here are holy cards, which, in the Catholic tradition, are small, religious pictures roughly the size of a playing card. The reverse sometimes contains a prayer or other devotional text. These cards, which depict a Catholic saint or religious scene, are often blessed by priests for the use by the faithful. The creation, circulation, and use of these cards is an important part of the material culture of Roman Catholics. Other collectable devotional cards, including early examples of religious trading and collectable cards, are also featured in this collection.
For more information about this collection, or the Vincentian Studies Collection, please contact DePaul University Libraries Vincentian Librarian.

Book signing event Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 7 p.m.
Meet the authors and special guest, Fred Meijer at the Rockford North Middle School Auditorium, 397 E. Division (Ten Mile Rd.).
In this book Bill Smith and Larry ten Harmsel offer an engaging glimpse into the life of Fred Meijer (b. 1919), a prominent retailer whose Grand Rapids based company has grown from one local store in Greenville, Michigan, to a chain of nearly 200 stores in five Midwestern states. Smith and ten Harmsel have gathered reminiscences from nearly a hundred people who have known and interacted with Fred during the past eighty years—from U.S. Presidents and ambassadors to clerks at the grocery checkout— and the result is a unique biography of an innovative and energetic businessman whose economic, philanthropic, and philosophical influence has been felt across a broad segment of the Midwest.
Replete with photos and captivating anecdotes, Fred Meijer: Stories of His Life, is an inspiring read, not only for Meijer buffs, but also for students of business and management in modern America.
There will be a short program, after which books may be purchased. Fred Meijer and authors will be available to sign individual copies of the book.
Hard cover books are $12 and soft cover books are $8.
This event is sponsored by the Rockford Area Historical Society and is free and open to the public.

any tips for benching? do you go to yards or just random tracks

Both. But for me it's mostly track side benching. In most areas just gotta watch the signals and be there at the right time to see a train.

Laminate timber flooring over exsisting slate
Hi everyone,
I've struck a dilema with a home reno, up until now I've done everything myself or atleast had a damn good try. But now I'm in a big rut, we want to install laminate timber flooring thats the easy part, the hard part and the part that is stressing me out is the 36m2 of slate floor we already have which has to come up first. Heres my ideas No1. jack hammer out slate, level off with level floor and simply lay the new flooring. ( problem 50 hours on the jack hammer! No2. simply pour level floor directly over the slate and lay the laminate over that. ( problem, will the have to pack up the lounge room and bedroom floors to get the carpet and the laminate to meet at the same height, which doesnt bother me as i reckon 19mm yellow tongue under the carpet onto the slab would be just about perfect. Can anyone think of the best or better ways? hopefully I've explained what i want to do correctly. thanks guys
I'm going to advocate removal of the slate. That is the right way to do it, unfortunately.
Your second best option is pouring over the tile.
The good news is that slate is very soft, and you'll probably be shocked how quickly it comes up. I'd suggest renting a 35# demolition hammer (mini jackhammer) and using a 3" wide chisel on it. They're small enough so using them isn't miserable. Instead of going at it from a perpindicular approach, go at it at a steep angle, like you're trying to pry the tiles up. You can do the whole job sitting on your butt! They'll break, but concentrate on breaking the bond between the tile and the thinset.
Gauged or ungauged slate?:)
yeh the jackhammer does seem to be the sensible approach and if im going to do it I might as well do it properly. So now you may be able to help me out some more in regards to using level floor, from what i understand the idea is to find the highest and the lowest points of the surface thats left ( after a day on the jackhammer ) , and start pouring at the lowest point until it reaches the highest point? Any pointers or tricks would be great. Once again thanks for your advice.
Hi, bud
gee mate im not sure, its not smooth ontop ( uneven surfaces on each pce ) ?
Removal is the safest bet.:)

SUU Men Open 2013 By Hosting Pat Hicks Thunderbird Invitational
Related Links
CEDAR CITY, Utah, Feb. 4 - Southern Utah University's men's golf team opens its 2013 spring season next week when the Thunderbirds host the Ninth Annual Pat Hicks Thunderbird Invitational at Sunbrook Golf Club in St. George, Utah.
The tournament will be contested Monday and Tuesday over the Point and Woodbridge nines at Sunbrook, a par 72, 6,879-yard layout.
This year's 14-team field includes Boise State, Cal Poly, Cal State Bakersfield, College of Charleston, Denver, Dixie State, Idaho, Northern Colorado, Oral Roberts, Seattle U., Utah State, Utah Valley, Weber State, and host Southern Utah. Denver is returning to the field after a three-year hiatus while Idaho and Northern Colorado are making their first appearances at the invitational.
There will be no repeat champion this year as defending team champion Cal State Fullerton is not in the field, while 2012 individual medalist Chris Russo will also not be back as the Matadors will miss the tournament for the first time in the history of the tournament.
Junior Jake Holt and Taylor Schone, sophomores Sammy Cole and Tim Leonard and freshmen Connor Van Gilder and will compete for the Thunderbirds, while and Brady Wellburn and John Reid are scheduled to compete as individuals.
The Thunderbirds, who wrapped up the fall 2012 schedule with a seventh-place finish at the Bill Cullum Invitational, finished second at the Pat Hicks Thunderbird Invitational last year.
The 2012 Thunderbird Invitational: Cal State Fullerton shot one-under par 287 to slip past SUU and claim the title with a total score of one-under 575. The Thunderbirds slipped to 293 after firing 284 on Monday to finish second, two shots back at one-over par 577. SUU's Jeff Evans - who shot 71 in both rounds - finished in a three-way tie with Northridge's Jason Rosenkrantz and Oral Roberts' Shannon Allen in fourth place, at 142. Brad Millard, who held the first-round lead after a 67 on Monday, slipped to ninth place after shooting 77 on Tuesday to finish at even par 144. Sammy Cole was tied in ninth after shooting 73 on Tuesday. Rounding out Southern Utah's entry Nic Booth (75-75, 150) was 32nd while Jake Holt (79-74, 153) finished 45th. Three Thunderbirds competed as individuals, led by Jordan Orth, who finished 41st at 152 (77-75), with Greg Kerber (75-79, 154) 54th and Tyler Hunt (93-87, 180) 90th. College of Charleston and Cal Poly finished tied for third at 7-over 583, with Northridge fifth at 585 and Oral Roberts sixth at 588. Dixie State and Western Illinois were tied in seventh at 599, followed by Utah State (603), Utah Valley (607), Boise State (608) and Weber State (611). Cal State Bakersfield and Seattle University finished tied for 13th at 617.
The Coach: Richard Church (Utah '89) is in his 13th season as head golf coach and his 17th on the staff at Southern Utah. Prior to taking over the program from former Coach John Evans, Church spent four seasons as the Thunderbirds' assistant coach. During his tenure on the SUU staff, Church has coached five academic all-Americans, one Mid-Continent Conference medalist, two Mid-Con runner-ups and the University's first NCAA post-season competitor in golf. He has also seen the team finish second in the league six times since SUU began competing in The Summit League (ne. Mid-Con) in 1997-98.
Last Time Out: Jake Holt finished ninth to lead Southern Utah's men's golf team to a seventh-place finish at the 20-team Bill Cullum Invitational. The tournament was held at the 6,801-yard, par 72 Woodranch Golf Club. Holt shot 2-under par 70 on Tuesday for a final total of 1-under 215. He opened with a 72 before shooting 73 in the second round. Sammy Cole (78-70-77) and Taylor Schone (76-72-77) finished tied for second among Thunderbirds at 9-over par 225 and in 41st place, while Tim Leonard (79-72-80) finished 69th at 231 and John Reid (78-82-72) was 74th at 232. Brady Welburn (80-85-79, 244) and Connor Van Gilder (87-81-79, 247), playing as individuals, finished 101st and 106th, respectively. SUU, which opened with a 304 , then followed with rounds of 287 and 296, shot 23-over par 887 to finish two shots up on Boise State (889) and four ahead of Loyola Marymount (891). Utah State finished 11th at 896, with Weber State 14th at 910. University of San Diego ran away with the team championship, shooting 14-under par 850, nine shots better than Arizona State, the only other team to finish under par.

Ten Takeaways - Washington
The Game:
1) The Initial Atmosphere: Simply put, it was a great day for football. The way the shadows crept across the field through the first half, the way the stadium looked and sounded, that they actually scrolled top-25 scores across the Jumbotron, it felt like a game I'd be watching on ABC. It didn't hurt either that to me, the stands seemed to be the fullest (guess: 26,000, announced: 36,570) I've seen them all season at kickoff. Plus, I do appreciate great defense, but like 95 per cent of fans, entertaining offense has a special place in my heart. And the way these two teams were moving the ball and, more to the point, running the ball (which I have seen far too little during my four years at Stanford Stadium), it just "felt" right. All told, physical football. Autumn Saturday afternoons. Falling leaves. America. Apple pie. You get the idea. Had never felt that way for me at Stanford before today.
2) Some Run, No Pass: For all the hand-wringing over the tailbacks, Stanford pounded the ball well enough (26 carries for 116 yards). The bigger worry was the passing game: in the first half, the quarterbacks were a combined five of 14 passing for 47 yards! The Stanford line afforded its QBs adequate time too - they were just not hitting their targets. Ostrander or Pritchard - they both have their strengths and weaknesses - but the argument's almost besides the point. If whoever was under center were performing to their potential, we wouldn't have a quarterback controversy - and that we don't have that consistent productivity at QB, a position supposedly one of our strongest entering this season, is the issue.
3) Bad Reception: To be fair, I pin the passing struggles as much on the Cardinal receivers as on the QBs. The excuses have been there for two years now: sure, there is little depth at receiver, and so once one of the top guys gets dinged, the drop-off is huge (and so the top guys often have to play injured and with limited efficacy). Sure, our offensive line could pass protect better, but it's lightyears better than last year - and we were even running to keep UW's defense off-balance. The statistics don't lie, and after yet another poor offensive showing - this time against one of the worst defenses in the country - I'm just sick of the excuses. Receiver is supposed to be the strongest position on our team, bar none, and we were told coming into this season that the group would be one of the Pac-10's best. This season, Sherman has been shining the brightest, and Bradford and Moore have had their games and catches too - but no one is consistently playing at a Pac-10 level, and that certainly contributed in a big way to the "L" Stanford suffered on Saturday.
4) Ugly. Both teams missed so many opportunities and simply couldn't capitalize on their opponents' mistakes. Reminded me a lot of last year's win up in Seattle -- the ugliest football game I've borne witness too in my life. Stanford drives down the field its first possession, only to stall in the red zone and have Derek Belch miss a chip shot. In the second, another red zone stall turned a potential touchdown into a Belch field goal. Then, after forcing and recovering a fumble (great awareness by Levirt Griffin to fall on it for the sure recovery, instead of trying to scoop and be the hero) at the Washington one, for Corey Gatewood to fumble (and yes, it looked like he broke the plane of the goal line first, but UW lost a TD minutes later on a similarly close call) is just crushing. Then, after a solid first half from the "D", the secondary blows a coverage with 27 seconds left, but is rescued when the play is ruled a drop. (Trend continued in the second half as well, with a blown XP hold and two dropped INTs in the third quarter alone.) Of course, Washington showed why they entered 0-for-Pac-10, missing a field goal, dropping that touchdown pass, throwing a pick, and fumbling on their own one, all in a single half! Conservatively, that's 17 points the Huskies left on the field, and 18 points Stanford could have had. So, given the magnitude of the Husky mistakes and despite being outgained by 200 yards on the period, Stanford really could have/should have gone into halftime tied or with the lead, instead of down 13-3. Of course, by the same logic, Washington could have been up by 20. I am really hoping Stanford isn't a team that plays to the level of its opponent. It's great against the USCs or Oregons (well, for a half at least) of this world, but as this program moves in the right direction, Stanford is going to play plenty of games it "should" win. It needs to do so. Harbaugh has shown the fire against the big dogs, but does he have the consistency and attention to detail when facing the pups?
The Negatives:
5. Personnel Management. Yeah, we're playing teams that are physically superior, and they're going to shut us down at times, but any time folks on the field are not producing, it's partially on the coaches to put in players better able to do so. Gatewood looks like a possible answer at running back, showing some impressive raw skills. Why the delay in switching him over and why not give him the rock last week, when there was so much guardedness about his stealth conversion to offense? And why not give it to him more this week? He played the position in high school and running back is arguably the position on the field that requires the least preparation. Should we have brought back Pritchard at 80 per cent in the third or fourth quarter when Ostrander again took his time in the pocket? Then again, to be fair to Ostrander, the past couple of weeks have seen the offense flatline under Pritchard. Losing raises these darned-if-you do, darned-if-you-don't quandaries. We could ask similar questions about the receivers. If some of them aren't at 100 per cent due to injuries, isn't there someone else among the 85+ roster spots who could have given us a spark? The coaches tried screens, and on the day seven different receivers (including Kelton Lynn) caught balls, but nothing seemed to work. We give coaches credit when their substitutions work, it's only fair to mention days when they don't work.
6) Wearing Down. I'm on the field for the final stages of the game, and the apparent size difference between Stanford and the other Pac-10 teams is just striking. Just as striking is seeing a Washington offense that certainly doesn't look as fresh as in the first quarter, but looks in control, just feet away from 11 guys in red with their hands on their hips and their jerseys soaked in sweat. It's obvious how hard the players are pushing and I can't possibly blame them for being their size (especially when it's "only" 6'5", 250 instead of 6'8", 300). Still, it bears mentioning that the gritty underdog train often gets derailed in the fourth quarter because of simple, inviolable laws of physics: when a man runs into you 80 times, it takes more of a toll when he's bigger and faster. Until we change the inputs (size and speed), I think we're going to keep wearing down before opponents, and I think that's a major ceiling to our potential success.
7. The Offense. I hope the Cardinal "O" looks good in red and white stripes, because best I can tell it seems to be off hiding with Waldo . The last seven games, Washington has allowed 33, 44, 27, 44, 55, 48 and now 9. No need to belabor the futility, especially after Terry2 pointed it out in his last column, so perhaps the more pertinent question is why. The offense went south as Tavita was inserted? (But having TC in much of today didn't help, I don't think that's the factor.) The offense went south as the top two tailbacks and tackle Allen Smith went down? (Okay, tough break, nothing you can do here, but the difference between Anthony Kimble and Ty McGraw is nothing compared to the gap between Washington's defense and Oregon's, UCLA's and USC's - a much easier schedule should be enough to override this effect.) I think the biggest factor is just that the season is wearing on. Harbaugh and Shafer started September with the element of surprise on their side, but the rest of the Pac-10 has gotten their schemes on tape since. We've seen it with a lot of coaches at new schools: Weis was 9-3 his first year at Notre Dame. He's 1-8 now. Willingham started 8-0 there. He was fired two seasons later. Erickson started 8-0 this year at ASU - anyone care to bet they match that mark next year (or the rest of this one)? What I'm saying is perhaps, unfortunately, these last few weeks are more indicative of the offense's true level than the first few. Time will tell.
8. Inconsistency. Obviously this overlaps with the previous three points (and the truth likely includes a combination of all these things), but it's probably the most maddening. Richard Sherman: All Pac-10, or two catches for 11 yards? (Truth, again, is in the middle. He's good, but if he were that good, he wouldn't have many days like today.) How does the defense hold USC under 100 yards on the ground, but allow Washington to run for 388? Field-goal kicking is a tough, tough job with a mighty small sample size, but Belch missed a chip shot in the first quarter before nailing one in the second. Kind of a microcosm for the day.
The Positives:
9. Heart. We have players on either side of the ball who likely will be playing on Sundays, but on the whole, the defense is just too small, too thin, too young, and the offense too slow and small to compensate, as discussed above. There is no shame in losing a game like this. For all the miscues of the first half, Washington was bigger between the trenches and faster on the edges, and those were the differences they exploited to wear down the Cardinal in the second half. Nothing you can do about that. No blame lays on the coaches or the players for losing to better athletes -- and that shouldn't be the case as often in three years if Stanford's recruiting continues its upward trajectory -- and the players have plenty of reason to hold up their heads after fighting tooth and nail for much of the game. It was another great game plan, as evidenced by the fact that we were again right in a game where we were nearly doubled in yardage. Call it luck over the small sample size of eight games, but at some point, give the team credit.
10. Harbaugh. From a plucky quarterback in his mold to a young, energized staff, to a defense that sparked the most incredible comeback win of Captain Comeback's career, this is Jim Harbaugh's team. It's obvious there has been "buy-in" this season in a way that there never has been during in my four years here. Exhibit A: Want to know how well a football team is coached? Look at how interested the third-stringers on the bench are in the game. This year versus last - night and day. My biggest worry about Harbaugh was how his optimism and enthusiasm "unknown to mankind" would play when the team was 2-7. Put another way, I questioned whether there was any substance behind the enthusiasm. Ironically, it turns out the established coaches could learn a thing or two (or seven) from Harbaugh. From his game management to his recruiting to his staff hires to his player development, he's doing just about as well as he possibly could - it's obvious he knows his stuff. And don't let the youth or the enthusiasm fool you, I've yet to meet a coach better with the media and, by extension, the public. Coaches look bad after a loss for a) criticizing their players (Charlie Weis), b). not seeming forthright and resorting to coach-speak (Trent Johnson), or, if you're exceptionally lucky, both of the above (Walt Harris). Walking that tightrope is harder than it seems, because coaches are asked what went wrong, and not to channel my inner John Madden, but you usually lose because your players didn't play well enough. So reread the transcript of his postgame comments - his ability to be as honest and open as possible without saying a harsh word about a player is impressive. No one's ever accused me of being too positive, and I never thought I'd be typing this after nine games, but it is obvious from my perspective. Jim Harbaugh gets the big picture. Jim Harbaugh gets Stanford Football. Things will get better.

BUIES CREEK – Campbell lost a tight 3-2 contest in Saturday's opener before responding with a 13-6 victory in the series finale to win the three-game set over visiting UNC Asheville (17-21, 6-8 Big South) this weekend. The Fighting Camels are now 12-0 in the final game of two or three-game series' this season, including a perfect 9-0 during the second game of doubleheaders.
The Camel baseball team (30-8, 8-4 Big South) reaches the 30-win plateau for the sixth time in program history and the first time since 2001. The Camels return to action on Tuesday evening at Taylor Field, when CU will host nationally-ranked N.C. State in a 6 p.m. rematch. The Wolfpack defeated Campbell 9-2 in Raleigh earlier this season.
Game 1: UNC Asheville 3, Campbell 2
UNC-Asheville capitalized on three walks in the seventh inning, including a base on balls with the bases loaded that plated the eventual winning run to take a 3-2 victory over Campbell in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader at Taylor Field.
The game started out as a pitcher's duel between Campbell's Frank Zier and Ryan Dull of UNC Asheville. Zier retired the first 11 batters he faced and Dull struck out five of the first six batters he faced, including four CU hitters in a row.
Campbell recorded the first hit of the contest as Bryce Grady provided a leadoff single in the bottom of the third. He was moved over to second by a Blake Boyce sac bunt and was driven in by Muskogee, Okla. native Cam'Ron Summers on an RBI double.
Summers, a junior shortstop, led the Camels in game one by going 3-for-3 at the plate with an RBI. David Olson continued his hot streak and fished 2-for-4 with a run scored in game one.
With a 1-0 lead, Zier was in a jam in the top of the fifth inning as Aaron Wright reached on a Camel error. Ian Graham followed with a single, giving the Bulldogs their second hit of the game. Zier retired the next two batters to escape the inning with no damage done.
The Bulldogs used timely hitting to take the lead in the sixth. Cody Buch drew a leadoff walk and was moved to second by a Jordan Lurie groundout. Thomas Bess then drove Buch in with an RBI single. After Bess stole second, Patrick Koontz singled to score Bess and give the Asheville a 2-1 lead.
Campbell struck back in the bottom half of the inning. David Olson continued his hot streak as he ripped his 13th double of the season with one out. After a groundout moved Olson to third, Bryce Grady tallied an RBI single that brought Olson to the plate and tied the game at two all.
Zier was relieved by Logan Self to start the seventh inning. Zier went six innings, allowing 4 hits and two earned runs in a no decision, while striking out two and walking one.
Self surrendered a leadoff walk to Graham and a base hit to Todd Joyner to begin the frame. After striking out Eli Miller, Self issued a walk to Cody Buch to load the bases.
With two outs, the Bulldogs took the lead and scored what turned out to be the winning run on a Bess walk, the second RBI of the day for Bess. Self (3-2) got out of the inning with minimal damage by retiring the next Bulldog batter to leave three runners left on base, but ended up taking the loss.
Jake Kirkland recorded a two-out single in the eighth inning with CU trying to mount a rally. Bulldog centerfielder Bess cut short the Camel hopes as he made a diving catch on an Olson fly ball that ended the inning.
Ethan Steible entered the game for Asheville in the ninth and retired the side in order to record his fourth save of the season.
The loss for the Camels was their fourth in Big South play, with all four losses coming by a combined five runs.
Game 2: Campbell 13, UNC Asheville 6
Campbell got on the board early after Jimmy Brenneman drew a leadoff walk and was moved to second on a McQuown sacrifice bunt. Michael Felton brought Brenneman home with a RBI base hit to give the Camels a 1-0 lead.
Asheville responded in the second with a run to draw even. Todd Joyner drew a leadoff walk and advanced to second on a single from Eli Miller. Jordan Lurie followed with a RBI single to score Joyner and tie the game at 1-1.
CU took charge in the bottom half of the inning with Bryce Grady sparking the offensive burst with a leadoff single. After Nick Ray reached on an error, Ben Fish recorded a sacrifice bunt to advance the runners into scoring position. Cam'Ron Summers came through with another big hit as he doubled down the left field line to plate the two runs and take a 3-1 lead.
Jake Kirkland led off the third with a base hit and advanced to second on a wild pitch. After Olson and Grady lined and flied out, Ray drew a two-out walk. Fish immediately follow with a single that plated Kirkland and gave Campbell a 4-1 lead.
Asheville was able to cut into the lead in the fourth. Joyner and Cody Buch both singled to start the inning. An infield error by the CU defense loaded the bases loaded with no outs before Camel starter Andrew Jacobsen induced a double play to record two outs while the Bulldogs scored one run to make it a 4-2 contest. Jacobsen finished off the inning by getting Lurie to groundout to second.
Brenneman led off the bottom half of the fourth with an infield single and was moved over by a McQuown sac bunt. Felton followed with a single to put runners on the corners with one out. Kirkland came through again for the Camels with an RBI double that scored Brenneman and Felton and pushed the CU advantage to four runs. In the next at bat, Olson singled to left and an error on the leftfielder allowed Kirkland to score, putting the Camels in front 7-2 after four complete innings.
Ashville struck right back in the fifth inning. Hunter Bryant singled with two outs in the top of the fifth. Billy Creighton then homered to left field to cut the Bulldog deficit to 7-4.
Campbell again answered with a pair of runs in the bottom half of the frame. Summers delivered a single and Brenneman followed with a hit by pitch, his 18th of the season that brings him within three hit by pitches of the program career record set by Campbell assistant coach Chris Bangi.
Felton singled for his third hit of the game and drove home Summers. A passed ball allowed both runners to advance and Kirkland singled to bring home Brenneman and give CU a 9-4 lead.
CU scored three in the sixth and one run seventh inning to conclude the scoring. The Camels averaged 9.6 runs per game in the five games during the week, going 4-1 in the stretch.
Matt Marksberry tossed two innings in relief of Jacobsen, allowing two hits and one run in the outing. Jacobsen (4-0) earned the win for Campbell, going six innings and scattering eight hits and four runs (three earned) while striking out five Bulldog batters. David Olson pitched a scoreless ninth to finish off the victory.

Bison / Buffalo
Bison vs. buffalo. Is there a difference? The American bison is sometimes called buffalo; so when it comes to bison meat and buffalo meat, it's all the same thing. From ground buffalo to buffalo steak, the lean red meat can replace beef in many recipes. That's why buffalo (or bison) is a game meat favorite.
Looking to cook with buffalo? Try some of our buffalo recipes; whip up a bison burger, simmer a pot of buffalo chili or sear a buffalo steak on the grill.
These Plains Breed Buffalo are raised with minimal human interaction, grazing on prairie grasses. It's good for the environment, the buffalo, and most of all, healthier for you.

The Spice Bible by Jane Lawson reveals the world of spices, including Allspice, Coriander, and Star Anise; with recipes like Cypriot Pork and Coriander Stew, Vietnamese Beef Pho, and Lamb Kibbeh.
Serves 6
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cover the bulghur with water in a bowl, and let stand for 15 minutes. Drain, then squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Combine the bulghur with the lamb, onion, allspice, and 1 teaspoon each salt and freshly ground black pepper in a bowl. Knead the lamb mixture with 5 tablespoons iced water to make a fine paste.
To make the filling, heat the clarified butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion, allspice, nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes, or until the onion is soft. Add the lamb and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture has changed color. Stir in the pine nuts. Cool the mixture slightly before using.
Lightly grease a 12-inch oval baking dish with an 8-cup capacity. Press half the lamb and bulghur mixture over the base of the prepared dish, top with the filling, and press the remaining lamb and bulghur mixture over the top. Using a sharp knife, cut 1-1/2-inch diamonds through the kibbeh. Press a pine nut in the center of each diamond.
Drizzle the kibbeh with melted clarified butter, and bake for about 1-1/2 hours, or until cooked through. Cover with foil if over-browning. Serve cut into diamonds, with salad, hummus (page 77 of the book), and pita bread.

American Airlines Workers Say Out With the Old Paint JobBy
The new year will bring a new paint job at American Airlines.
Workers of the freshly merged airline voted by a narrow margin to keep the new flag design as the paint livery for the tails of roughly 1,100 airplanes that will be repainted this year. The old silver AA design that American used for some 40 years lost by fewer than 2,300 votes, with more than 60,000 employees weighing in.
American unveiled the flag paint scheme a year ago, before the merger with US Airways was announced, and the airline will begin the big paint job with the 580 jets in the former US Airways fleet. "We of course can't vote on every decision at the airline, but we do want input from all of you on issues that are important to your work lives," American Chief Executive Officer Doug Parker wrote today in a memo to employees.

NewsBusters uncovers "chilling" fact about NYC mosque: It's shaped like a building
Blog ››› ››› BEN DIMIERO
As we've noted, NewsBusters is currently celebrating their 5th anniversary, and they are doing their best to start year six the way they spent the previous five: by embarrassing themselves and proving they are uniquely awful media critics.
Today, "Senior Contributor" Mark Finkelstein is upset with MSNBC's Willie Geist (which Finkelstein explains is "a first" for him) for taking issue with an ad an anti-mosque group is running on NYC buses that includes an image of one of the planes flying into the WorldTrade Center on 9-11. Finkelstein's complaint is that Geist said using the image of the plane is "always in bad taste."
Finkelstein then announced that the "ad was illuminating for another, chilling, reason," which I'll let him explain. Take it away, Mark:
Have a look at the screencap below showing the mosque's proposed design [note that the anti-mosque group wasn't misrepresenting the design. See mosque architect's rendering here]. Sure looks a lot like the WTC towers themselves, doesn't it? Hard to imagine that's a coincidence. A certain implicit triumphalism involved?
To save you the click, here's the artist's rendering that Finkelstein links to:
Shocking, right? Look at it just standing there, mocking us with its four sides and rectangular shape - almost like a building.
As a side note, the ad in question, aside from being "in bad taste," is extremely misleading. It repeats the falsehood that the mosque is scheduled to open 9/11/11. Also, Finkelstein's claim that the "anti-mosque group wasn't misrepresenting the design" is false, as the organization clearly added an imaginary star and crescent to the top of the building that isn't on the original artist's rendering.
These are all superfluous details to Finkelstein, though -- he's busy uncovering the "certain implicit triumphalism" in shaping the mosque like a building.

I searched around for help with pulling the rear drum and hub/bearing assy. and gleaned bits here and there, but didn't see everything in one place, so here goes.
(the latter bits should work for rear disc too, but not AWD)
Unbolt the ABS sensor and tie it out of the way.
Then, if the drum is frozen on there, hit it with a bit of penetrant and maybe some heat and let it sit... Back off the parking brake adjuster while waiting. If you have a brake drum puller, use it. If not, some taps with a hammer on the face of the drum, followed by tapping the ring of the hub itself while pulling on the drum by hand should do the trick. Some may feel the need to beat the drum into submission. my only advice is to plan on buying a new drum and or hub assy. Tapping the hub ring worked real slick for me!
Unbolt the hub / bearing from the rear axle support.
Now, if the hub/bearing is frozen in place, chrysler makes a special tool to press out the hub in situ.
but if you don't have one, there is little room to get at it with a puller and then you are pulling on the brake backing plate :. The tone wheel disintegrates when you get too rough on it, so drifting it out isn't good either. If you have one, a slide hammer works awesome! If you don't, then buy one, 'cause you'll need it. besides, when you own one, you keep finding more and more situations you can employ it in...
10,20,40 pulls later, it will come out. I then use a two jaw puller to pop the brake backing plate off the hub.
Some of this should work for the 4th gen minivans too, though the ABS sensor is integrated into the hub, so slide hammering will not be good if you are not replacing the hub assy.
FYI, some drums and hubs come right off... but for the ones that don't, this works well.
Hope this helps and as always, YMMV,

Volleyball Turns in Top-25 Recruiting Class
June 5, 2013
LEXINGTON, Ky - Kentucky volleyball coach Craig Skinnerhas secured a top-25 recruiting class according to PrepVolleyball.com. UK's three-member class of 2013 is ranked as the No. 24 class in the nation as rated by the website. In the past eight seasons, Skinner has turned in a top-30 recruiting class on seven occasions.
Kentucky signed three highly-touted attackers in middle blocker/outside hitter Sharay Barnes (Swarthmore, Pa.), middle blocker Emily Franklin (Mesa, Ariz.) and outside hitter Anni Thomasson (Newark, Ohio) during the fall signing period.
Franklin is a 6'4 middle blocker who was an all-state performer. PrepVolleyball lists Franklin as the No. 47 overall player in the class. The site points to her agility as a reason she will fit seamlessly into UK's traditional system built around blocking and defense.
Thomasson is a 6'0 outside hitter who is a two-time all-state performer. She started every match of her high school career and holds school records for digs and kills. Thomasson, who is rated as the No. 60 Senior Ace, is noted as a true six-rotation player and has the ability to make everyone around her better.
Barnes is a 6'2 athlete who can play either the outside hitter or middle blocker position. She is a two-time all-state performer. PrepVolleyball lists her as an elite athlete who has flown under the radar, but the site believes has the potential to be a steal in the class. The site likens her style of play to current UK All-America player Whitney Billings.

Leveling an OSB subfloor for ceramic tiles
I am getting ready to lay ceramic tiles in my bathroom and was about to begin prepping the floor for install when I found the floor in not level. The floor is 3/4" OSB and is convexed in the center. Over a 4' span, the floor slops a minimum of a 1/4" as you move away from the center of the floor. Other than removing the OSB and starting over, what would be a good fix for leveling the floor? My plan was to use 1/4"-1/2" cement board underlay over the OSB. Another problem I have found with the bathroom floor is that the wonderful builder of the home decided the need for fasteners was nonexistent. The OSB is only glued to the joists. I had already planned to screw the OSB down, but I don't think that is a fix all...HELP :)
Install your 1/4" Durrock or Wonder Board into a bed of thinset and nail or screw it as per the instructions---then use a self leveling compound to get the floor flat----
I do not recommend Hardi backer for this job--the stiff board may not conform to the contours and leave you with springy voids---
1. Which manufacturer approves their SLC to go over CBU?
They all do. The SLC doesn't know it's over CBU, just apply the primer and go.
2. Usually, SLC, then thinset, then CBU.
I've done it that way in a pinch, but only when the SLC was still plastic and even then I was rolling the dice cuz no real good way to know how far to drive the fasteners. You don't want to let it harden and then fasten, kinda breaks it all to pieces. SLC goes over CBU, not under. Another reason I like Ditra, which is installed once the floor is as you want it.
Ah crud, you're absolutely right! I was going off documentation for Henry's floor patch products...and even then, I was being too exact. Their floor patch products state they'll bond to concrete, but don't literally state "cement backer board". However, I see the leveler (544) does state it will bond to "cement backer board".
Thanks, I feel a little dumb now!

Featuring hospital and health care headlines from the media and the Web.
Iowa News
Mental health system shortcomings 'can't change if we don't talk about them,' Dubuque mom says
Karla Dawe believes that if the public were less squeamish about mental illness, her son might not have wound up on top of a railroad car last April, wearing blood-spattered pants and hollering that he had killed his family. If people were more willing to discuss their own struggles, she said, the mental health system wouldn't have fallen into such a mess — and her son might still be alive. "Things can't change if we don't talk about them," she said. "It's time for mental illness to come out of the closet." (Des Moines Register)
Those who worked on Perinatal Patient Safety Initiative project lauded at banquet
The banquet recognized Mercy Medical Center-Clinton employees and physicians for achievements in the Perinatal Patient Safety Initiative, a multi-year project that centered on providing the highest quality and safest care for mothers and infants during labor and birth. In March, Mercy was awarded the overall Patient Safety Award at the Iowa Healthcare Collaborative Patient Safety Conference held in Des Moines. (Clinton Herald)
Iowa medical center ramps up process improvement efforts
Winneshiek Medical Center in Decorah recently brought in a new performance improvement engineer to help facilitate process improvement and eliminate waste. "It's really looking at processes in healthcare and finding out ways to improve efficiencies and drive out waste," said Dave Rooney, chief administrative officer of the facility. "There's also a big focus on staff: helping them understand what their job is, expectations for performance, doing evaluations, getting roadblocks out of the way," added chief medical officer Susan Halter. (Guidon)
Countdown to Blue Zones decision
If Ottumwa isn't chosen to be a Blue Zones demonstration site, it could be due to its biggest weakness: community engagement. That answer was easy for Lynelle Diers, Wapello County Public Health's clinical director. She said without more individuals indicating their support, Ottumwa could fall in the pack of communities vying for a spot. (Ottumwa Courier)
Share your medical wishes before it's too late
Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare, Allen Health Systems and Cedar Valley Hospice are partnering to encourage eastern Iowans 18 and older to get an advance directive. "It really is a team effort between physicians and family members to make these decisions and so without having those discussions beforehand we don't know what your wishes are," said Dr. Paul Franke, Chief Medical Officer. Hospital officials say a durable power of attorney or a living will qualify as advance directives in Iowa, but extra legal steps should be taken. (KWWL)
Jack Morlan is a 'doctor of hair'
Jack Morlan does more than make women look their best. He also helps them regain their identities. He's been a hairdresser for 43 years, 17 of which he has specialized in wigs for medical purposes. Most of his clients have lost their hair due to cancer treatment. "Yes it's a business, but this is about helping people get through a hard time in their life. I look at it as what can I do to help this individual who's facing death to get through this," he said. (Des Moines Register)
National News
Health care jobs activity surging on social media
Hospitals and other health care facilities looking to hire more doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals may want to add Facebook, LinkedIn, and even Twitter to their recruitment efforts. A survey from AMN Healthcare, a San Diego-based recruitment firm, finds that people employed in healthcare have increased their use of social media to look for jobs, apply for new positions and network with colleagues. According to the survey, healthcare professionals spent more time on social media sites and/or mobile devices in 2011 compared to 2010, and reported receiving more job interviews, job offers, and new positions through the use of mobile job alerts. (HealthLeaders Media)
Are women less satisfied with hospital care than men?
In a study published this year in the journal Health Services Research, researchers analyzed the results of the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems, or Hcahps (pronounced "H-caps"). The survey consists of 27 questions about topics ranging from communication with nurses and doctors and responsiveness of hospital staff to general cleanliness and noise levels. When the researchers divided the questionnaire results by the patients' sex, they discovered that men tended to be more positive over all about their hospital experiences. (New York Times)
States seek curb on patient bills for costly drugs
Spurred by patients and patient advocates, lawmakers in at least 20 states, from Maine to Hawaii, have introduced bills that would limit out-of-pocket payments by consumers for expensive drugs used to treat diseases like cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and inherited disorders. Pharmaceutical companies would also benefit from such legislation because high co-payments discourage patients from taking their medicines. The pharmaceutical giant Pfizer has been helping the legislative drive behind the scenes, even drafting some of the bills, according to legislators and patient advocates. (New York Times)
Did Utah's failure to protect health data violate federal law?
The hacking of a Utah server containing Medicaid data has exposed a weakness—and a double-standard—in how the state handles sensitive health information. Until now, officials blamed the March 30 pilfering on human error. A state Department of Technology Services employee didn't follow protocol when placing a test server online and hackers exploited a weak password, they said. But on Thursday, they acknowledged data exposed in the breach was not encrypted—in possible violation of federal law. In jeopardy is the personal information of 780,000 Utahns. (Salt Lake Tribune)

It is very hard to find a healthier store bought pizza. But, of course, Trader Joe's had a pretty good veggie pizza.
It had no cheese, so I added some fat free ricotta for some protein, and some sun dried tomatoes for extra flavor (they got a little burnt, but that makes them tasty).
The whole pizza is 750 calories (minus the ricotta). Half the pizza filled me up pretty well since I added the ricotta, and had a glass of milk with it. The good thing is that there are no nasty preservatives–just wheat flour, lots of veggies (adding a great amount of fiber), and some natural flavorings like vinegar and lemon juice.
I didn't even miss all the cheesy goodness of a normal pizza. You could easily have this vegan, and not add cheese.
Have been doing some Les Mills style exercise classes this week and last and they are
kicking my butt–which I like. Finally, an exercise class that is truly challenging. But, it doesn't have to be. It is all about what level you choose to exercise at.
Anyway, I highly recommend the Les Mills classes. So far, "body attack" was the hardest because you are constantly moving your arms and legs everywhere. That was the most I have sweated in a while!
Hope everyone is surviving this week of crazy pollen! Keeping my windows shut yesterday and today so that my home doesn't turn into a yellow green mess.
