Husqvarna cordless leaf blowers allow you to choose the style and features that fit your needs best. Our 356T backpack blower is especially designed to emit low noise, enabling you to work without concern in residential areas. The 125 BVX gas blower not only blows debris, but is also vacuum capable to collect debris. Professional landscapers benefit from our Air Injection™ centrifugal air cleaning system that reduces wear and extends the operating time between filter cleanings. From handheld to backpack, to tube mount or frame mount throttles, we offer solutions to make your tough tasks easier and more efficient.
Our leaf blowers are all ergonomically designed to reduce fatigue and strain on your body. Low Vib® technology provides effective anti-vibration dampeners that absorb vibration, minimizing the stress on your arms and hands.

HAS the unthinkable happened?
Have Messrs Clarkson, Hammond and May actually grown up a bit?
The enfants terrible of the Beeb, who appear to be founder members of the Undiplomatic Corps, returned with a new series of Top Gear on Sunday night.
But has someone from 'on high' had a quiet word?
Or have the highly-paid trio finally realised that they can't play at being teenage boys into middle age?
For instead of the juvenile pranks and the clever, clever remarks they almost served up an old-fashioned Top Gear — and the programme was better for it.
Sure they did all have ridiculously expensive toys to play with, driving three supercars around Italy.
But the whole tenor of the show appears to have changed.
Don't get me wrong. I loved many of the earlier shows as they transformed the humble motoring programme into mass entertainment.
But last series, and that weary Christmas special to India in particular, it did appear as though even they had begun to despair at being asked to be outrageous for the sake of it and the show was becoming a parody of itself.
Let's just hope this week's first episode set the standards for what is to come.
No-one wants to snuff out the sparks of genius of which used to set Top Gear apart, it's just we appreciate TV that doesn't pander to the mentality of a 13-year-old.

Lab Theatre to present 'Iphigenia and Other Daughters'
The University of South Carolina's Lab Theatre will perform Ellen McLaughlin's "Iphigenia and Other Daughters" April 23 - 26 at the Booker T. Washington building on Wheat Street.
Curtain times are 8 p.m., and tickets are $5, sold only at the door.
Directed by Amy Boyce Holtcamp, "Iphigenia and Other Daughters" is a modern retelling of the Greek legend of the House of Atreus and the tragedy that befalls Agamemnon, his daughters, son and wife, Clytemestra. Holtcamp is an acting instructor in the department of theater and dance.
The story, which is told from the female perspective, unfolds in three acts, beginning with Agamemnon's decision to sacrifice his teenage daughter, Iphigenia, so the gods will allow him to fight in the Trojan War. Time passes, and the aftermath of Clytemestra's murderous revenge on Agamemnon, who is not seen in the play, unfolds. Finally, it is Iphigenia who cannot escape violence when she is faced with the decision of having to murder her brother, Orestes.
"'Iphigenia and Other Daughters' is an exploration of the idea of justice and how humanity has been taught down through the ages to define it," said Holtcamp. "All of the characters continually search for a sense of doing what is morally right while struggling to resist the human impulse to 'take an eye for an eye' or start wars in the pursuit of justice."
McLaughlin is an American playwright and actor for stage and film. She has performed in "Days and Nights Within," "A Narrow Bed," "Infinity's House," "Tongue of a Bird," "The Trojan Women," "Helen," "The Persians" and "Oedipus."
"'Iphigenia' is filled with recognizable characters who are all trying to find their own path in taking action against life's monumental forces and finding that pursuit to be a real struggle," Holtcamp said.
The cast features graduate and undergraduate theater students, including graduate students Lin Ying (Iphigenia), Felicia Berch (Clytemestra) and Sonya Thompson (Elektra), senior Mallory Morris (Chrysothemis), sophomore Sam Traquina (Orestes). The chorus includes junior Lisa Hilt and Deborah Stevenson, sophomores Alex Anderson and Sara Crouch and freshman Savannah Kruzner.

Jeanne - from Connelly Springs, NC
Cakes can be stored 2-3 months in the freezer, however, the taste of frozen cakes can be affected by storage after just 1-2 weeks. If a cake is not wrapped tightly in several layers of plastic wrap or freezer paper, air is allowed to exchange. This can cause the cake to dry out or absorb odors from other foods in the freezer. Fondant will soften from the freezing process and we don't recommend freezing cakes covered in fondant.

Treating systemic antibiotic-resistant infections

Treating systemic antibiotic-resistant infections
Preamble: I know you can't and don't intend to diagnose or treat illness per FDA regs.
That said, I'm seeking advice on how to work within the allopathic (hospital) medical community to encourage the use of Benchmark Thyme and/or other oils/blends that are known to work in cases of MRSA and other antibiotic resistant agents of infection. In this case, I don't know which medical professional would know how to correctly use EO/Aromatherapy to intervene in a case of systemic infection where antibiotics clearly aren't working anymore.
My sister is developmentally disabled and has been living in an institution for years. Because residents of this type of system end up with many urinary tract infections, they are known to be on prophylactic doses of antibiotics - sometimes for years at a time. Naturally, when infection crops up, it can be very difficult to control. My sister has been hospitalized for several weeks, on very high doses of strong antibiotics that are not stopping her infection (UTI), which started with a kidney stone. My mother is the guardian and tries to work with Doctors to ensure consistent care, but together we do not know whom to contact or how to discuss with them the very real possibility that Aromatherapy might have an answer - at least for controlling the infection.
I am looking to this community for ideas on how we might work with doctors, nurses, or professionals outside the hospital to begin to include topical or diffused oils in a medical regimen to control infection and support healing. FYI, this is taking place in the Cleveland, Ohio area, in case anyone has access to contacts there.

Re: Treating systemic antibiotic-resistant infections
There's a book available on the site called 'Aromatherapy vs. MRSA' here
http://www.anandaapothecary.com/aromath ... books.html
This would be a good thing to try to get health professionals to read. An idea for starters.

hi Lorah--
I don't have any info for you but am wondering what MRSA is. I've got some health issues involving various antibiotic resistant bugs and am also looking into this area.

Re: Treating systemic antibiotic-resistant infections
Hi Alliswell.
MRSA stands for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Here is some information from Wikipedia:
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterium responsible for several difficult-to-treat infections in humans. It is also called multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ORSA).
MRSA is any strain of Staphylococcus aureus that has developed resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics, which include the penicillins (methicillin, dicloxacillin, nafcillin, oxacillin, etc.) and the cephalosporins. The development of such resistance does not cause the organism to be more intrinsically virulent than strains of Staphylococcus aureus that have no antibiotic resistance, but resistance does make MRSA infection more difficult to treat with standard types of antibiotics and thus more dangerous.
MRSA is especially troublesome in hospitals and nursing homes, where patients with open wounds, invasive devices, and weakened immune systems are at greater risk of infection than the general public.
Signs and symptoms
S. aureus most commonly colonizes the anterior nares (the nostrils). The rest of the respiratory tract, open wounds, intravenous catheters, and the urinary tract are also potential sites for infection. Healthy individuals may carry MRSA asymptomatically for periods ranging from a few weeks to many years. Patients with compromised immune systems are at a significantly greater risk of symptomatic secondary infection.
In most patients, MRSA can be detected by swabbing the nostrils and isolating the bacteria found inside. Combined with extra sanitary measures for those in contact with infected patients, screening patients admitted to hospitals has been found to be effective in minimizing the spread of MRSA in hospitals in the United States,[1] Denmark, Finland, and the Netherlands. [2] MRSA may progress substantially within 24–48 hours of initial topical symptoms. After 72 hours, MRSA can take hold in human tissues and eventually become resistant to treatment. The initial presentation of MRSA is small red bumps that resemble pimples, spider bites, or boils; they may be accompanied by fever and, occasionally, rashes. Within a few days, the bumps become larger and more painful; they eventually open into deep, pus-filled boils.[3] About 75 percent of community-associated (CA-) MRSA infections are localized to skin and soft tissue and usually can be treated effectively. But some CA-MRSA strains display enhanced virulence, spreading more rapidly and causing illness much more severe than traditional healthcare-associated (HA-) MRSA infections, and they can affect vital organs and lead to widespread infection (sepsis), toxic shock syndrome, and necrotizing ("flesh-eating") pneumonia. This is thought to be due to toxins carried by CA-MRSA strains, such as PVL and PSM, though PVL was recently found to not be a factor in a study by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at the NIH. It is not known why some healthy people develop CA-MRSA skin infections that are treatable while others infected with the same strain develop severe infections or die. [4]The most common manifestations of CA-MRSA are skin infections, such as necrotizing fasciitis and pyomyositis (most commonly found in the tropics), necrotizing pneumonia, infective endocarditis (which affects the valves of the heart), and bone and joint infections.[5] CA-MRSA often results in abscess formation that requires incision and drainage. Before the spread of MRSA into the community, abscesses were not considered contagious, because it was assumed that infection required violation of skin integrity and the introduction of staphylococci from normal skin colonization. However, newly emerging CA-MRSA is transmissible (similar, but with very important differences) from Hospital-Associated MRSA. CA-MRSA is less likely than other forms of MRSA to cause cellulitis.
The main reason that so many "Anti-biotic Resistant" strains of bacteria have developed is due the widespread OVERUSE of antibiotics. Essential Oils (i.e. Melissa Officianalis) have been proven to heal these resistant strains without inducing further "drug resistance".
You have my best wishes in resolving your various health issues. Trying to find some natural solutions to balance and blend with the conventional medical treatment you are receiving, is definitely your best chance for improving your health.

Re: Treating systemic antibiotic-resistant infections
Tea tree is safe for ingesting in small amounts for the course of the condition being treated. IMHO the best of the antimicrobial oils is actually Benchmark Thyme, which chemically is a combination of Tea Tree and Thyme essential oils together. Tea tree is somewhat 'old school' these days.
All the Best,

Re: Treating systemic antibiotic-resistant infections
Well I'm hoping it's not too "old school" because I'm trying it along with Oil of Oregano in an attempt to cure nail problems...
Interesting about the MRSA...

See 'Aromatherapy Vs MRSA' on this page
'Benchmark' Thyme is really the new standard for antimicrobial oils. Oregano is really just too tricky to use, as it's so easy to burn the skin with.

Re: Treating systemic antibiotic-resistant infections
Hi NaturalRain,
I STILL recommend Benchmark Thyme EO for MRSA. It's been the only essential oil shown to have a positive effect on the bacterial infection. Oregao has been tested, but without much success. The trouble with oregano is that it will burn healthy cells all too easily, especially when trying to be aggressive about MRSA. Benchmark Tyme ALSO has 1,4 terpiniol as does tea tree - thought to be TTO's active ingredient - in significant amounts. There's a book on our site called 'aromatherapy and mrsa' explaining this.

Adolphe Leon Willette Biography
Willette was one of the grand old men of the color lithographic revolution of the 1880's and 1890's. Since the days on Montmartre with Steinlen and Toulouse-Lautrec, Willette had made himself famous with his rich, exuberant, and rather impish cartoons, prints and posters. When Willette saw the mobilization poster in early August of 1914, he was in Normandy on vacation. He drew his first anti-German cartoon on toilet paper, the only type of paper he could find at the time! He became one of the most effective weapons the French had in their propaganda campaign against Germany.
Willette's finest art was most often linked with the legendary figures of Pierrot and Pierrette.
"Willette (was) a successful painter who in 1887 switched to drawing, lithography and poster design. He became a frequent contributor to satirical publications such as 'Le Rire' …"(Rennert, PAI-XXXII, 562)
One of France's most remarkable artists of the legendary Art Nouveau era, Adolphe Leon Willette studied art under Cabanel at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He first exhibited his art at the Paris Salon in 1881 and became a regular contributor to major French exhibitions from 1887 onwards. During the 1890's, Willette achieved great fame as a versatile lithographer, painter, illustrator, poster artist and caricaturist. He also emerged as a major writer and editor in the Leftist press. In 1906, Willette achieved the highest honour for a French artist when he was appointed Chevalier de la Legion d'honneur.
As an original lithographic artist, Willette was a master of both social satire and character study. He was, in fact, commissioned by the prestigious L'Estampe Originale to submit lithographs in 1893, 1894 and 1895, along with such other artists as Whistler, Renoir, Redon, Toulouse-Lautrec and Pissarro. Pierrot Pendu was Willette's contribution for 1894. During the Art Nouveau decade (1890-1900) Willette was one of the most frequently sought after artists by Paris publishers for his lithographic posters and prints.

Debaters gonna debate
Yes, I know LinuxCon is next, and that's in mid-August, but I think they've got the publicity thing covered, especially with the 20-year thing and with Linus being there and all. But if you're going to the next show, make it the Ohio LinuxFest in September. Bradley Kuhn and Cathy Malmrose are keynoting, so you'll not want to miss that (especially Cathy — Go ZaReason!)
For about a half-hour, I had a comment on my last blog saying simply, "Haters gonna hate." I responded to it, but then later thought about it and took both of them down; not because of anything that was said on his part — I'm assuming it's a "he," but I don't know for sure — nor was I unhappy with my response.
In fact, the comment by "Larry the Lamer" is textbook proof of what I mentioned in the first paragraph of my previous blog: If you don't have a valid argument or contribution, say something stupid. The reason I had approved it was that I wanted to prove this point, but then it would be violating a policy I have regarding comments to this blog which I'll talk about a little later.
Regardless, the real reason I took it down was because "Larry the Lamer" posted it with a fake e-mail address — @asswipe.org probably took a lot of thought. The IP number, if authentic, is somewhere in Belgium.
I have a simple policy here: You want to comment? Provide a valid name and a valid e-mail address and you're in — if it's your IRC nickname I'm good with that. As an aside, I had two great responses to a blog item about Debian several months ago, but because the folks who posted were "anonymous," or something like it, they still sit in the queue, even after an e-mail asking them to repost with a real name.
I'm cool with being called names: I've been called much worse, chances are by better people, and in many instances to my face. I also don't shy away from a debate, discussion or argument. But when I do take up an issue, I do it as me, with my name, without hiding behind some alias.
Debate is good and, more times than not, the end result is progress.
So "Larry the Lamer," you think I'm lame? Get in line — a long one, more than likely — with a lot of other people. Want to try again using a real name and e-mail address? Go for it. Otherwise, have a nice life.

Appy notes: Locastro goes up-tempo
Blue Jays infielder adjusting to faster pace, position switch
By Bob Sutton / Special to MiLB.com | July 25, 2013 6:00 AM ET
Tim Locastro is embracing a brisker tempo as he begins his professional career with the Bluefield Blue Jays. The middle infielder out of Division III Ithaca College has been off and running at a pretty good clip in the Appalachian League.
"Everything is a little faster pace," Locastro said.
Locastro has shown the ability to stay up to speed, producing a .328 batting average through 20 games, including a four-hit performance July 10 in Burlington. He's also stolen seven bases in eight attempts and walked seven times while only striking out four.
He said he knows he has work to do to show that he belongs at this level after excelling at a non-scholarship program in college. But when Toronto picked Locastro in the 13th round of June's Draft, he said he felt ready to make the next step.
"I would've been happy anywhere," he said of the selection. "Knowing we were so good at Ithaca [in 2013 and potentially 2014], this was a better choice. Going as a junior was the best choice."
Bluefield manager Dennis Holmberg said Locastro, who has been successful on seven of eight stolen-base attempts, is raw in many areas. But the rookie has shown tools that could bode well for the future.
"The one thing he can really do is run," Holmberg said. "He runs very well. He's a hungry kid. He has desire and fire to play. He's just got to get hands-on with the roving coaches and fine-tune his skill set."
Playing a college season for a school in Upstate New York has its challenges. So when Locastro, who's from Auburn, N.Y., arrived in the Appalachian League and was suddenly involved in a string of postponements and weather-related delays, he knew the drill.
"The weather, it's raining all the time, but I'm used to that," he said. "We always had delays. I'm used to this kind of stuff."
Ithaca placed third in this year's Division III College World Series. Playing so deep into the postseason meant a reduced layoff between Ithaca's season and the Draft, something Locastro said may actually be beneficial. Still, there are several areas of adjustment for him. He played as Ithaca's shortstop, but he's mostly slotted into the other side of infield with Bluefield.
"I've been playing second here," he said. "Just having a different view from the other side of the infield, so I'm still adjusting a little bit."
When Locastro joined the Blue Jays organization, it wasn't the first time he had come across Holmberg. Locastro attended youth camps conducted by his hometown's Minor League team when Holmberg was the manager of the New York-Penn League's Auburn Doubledays, then a Toronto affiliate.
Holmberg said he likes Locastro's versatility so far.
"He has a good attitude, a good makeup," he said.
Holmberg said, in general, scouts are working harder beyond the first few rounds and at colleges of various sizes "to find these sleeper guys."
In brief
On a roll: Rain put a temporary hold on a franchise-record 10-game winning streak for the Greeneville Astros, who will finish Monday's suspension on Aug. 12 in Johnson City. In the meantime, the Astros made it 11 straight with a 5-4 win over the Cardinals on Tuesday, their fifth one-run victory since the streak began.
Battering an ex-mate: Pulaski Mariners infielder Zach Shank produced a pair of RBI triples Sunday against Burlington Royals starter Kevin McCarthy, his Marist College teammate as recently as May. "I've been struggling a little bit offensively," Shank said. "I don't really care who it's against at this point, but I'll take a little bragging rights."
Coming in bunches: Johnson City second baseman Brett Wiley racked up half of his league-high 24 RBIs over an eight-game period from July 12-20. He had only 16 RBIs over 40 games last season in the Gulf Coast League.

O'Reilly and Lichter endorsed baseless conclusion about anti-conservative discrimination in academia
Research ››› ››› RAPHAEL SCHWEBER-KOREN
Fox News host Bill O'Reilly and S. Robert Lichter, George Mason University political communication professor and director of GMU's Center of Media and Public Affairs, both falsely claimed that a recent study of the ideological composition of faculty at U.S. colleges and universities, which Lichter co-authored, proves that conservative academics face discrimination in hiring and promotion. In fact, the study shows only that liberals outnumber conservatives in academia; it does not prove -- or even suggest -- that this disparity is the result of anti-conservative discrimination.
On the April 6 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, Lichter insisted without evidence that conservatives face discrimination in promotion because liberal academics "aren't comfortable" with conservative colleagues. O'Reilly enthusiastically agreed:
LICHTER: But the, you know, the problem to me is that it becomes self-reinforcing that when you get into academia as a conservative, it's harder to move up in the field, even if you're as good as a liberal, because liberals aren't comfortable with you.
O'REILLY: There's no question about that. All right, Doc, thanks very much. We appreciate the study.
In fact, Lichter and his co-authors provide no evidence that conservatives have faced discrimination in hiring and promotion. As Media Matters for America has noted, justifying claims about hiring and promotion would require data on the relative numbers of conservatives and liberals who qualified and applied for various positions or came up for tenure review. Notwithstanding Lichter's comments, the study presents no such data. Lichter assumes, implausibly, that hiring bias is the only conceivable explanation for overrepresentation of liberals on campuses relative to the general public.
Moreover, neither O'Reilly nor Lichter disclosed that the study was sponsored by the Randolph Foundation, an organization that funds many conservative groups, including Grover Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform, the Independent Women's Forum, and right-wing pundit David Horowitz's Center for the Study of Popular Culture.
Further extrapolating from the study, Lichter compared the current state of academia to the intellectual environment that gave rise to Nazism in Weimar Germany:
LICHTER: And some people have actually come out and said, some professors have said, "Liberals are smarter. That's why they become professors." But, you know, the German university system used to be the best in the world, and you had this hotbed of reaction and nationalism and anti-Semitism in the German universities in the 1920s. You know, universities tend to attract antibourgeois people from the left now, from the right in the past. You know, I don't think there's anything about being an academic that makes you open-minded and kind of somehow the best people.
During the discussion, O'Reilly also falsely summarized New York Times columnist Paul Krugman's April 5 column, claiming that Krugman wrote that "anybody who believes in God is pretty much a fool." (Though O'Reilly admitted, "I might be overstating it. To be fair to Professor Krugman, he didn't exactly say it that way.")
In fact, Krugman's column did not generalize about people who believe in God. His complaint centered on those who disparage science and ignore empirical research in favor of revelation and ideology. From his column:
Think of the message this sends: today's Republican Party -- increasingly dominated by people who believe truth should be determined by revelation, not research -- doesn't respect science, or scholarship in general. It shouldn't be surprising that scholars have returned the favor by losing respect for the Republican Party.

Marinepool ist "Offizieller Ausstatter für Funktions- und Lifestylebekleidung der Extreme Sailing Series™ und des Oman Sail Teams The Wave, Muscat
March 9th, Muscat, OMA
Red Bull Sailing Team lose Act 1 by the smallest of margins as The Wave, Muscat clinches victory on home waters
- Even Leigh McMillan admitted he didn't think he could pull this one off going in to final day, but picks up where he left off in 2012, at the top of the leaderboard
- Disappointment for Red Bull Sailing Team, missing out on their first ever Act win in the final seconds of the final race, after leading for much of the time
- Alinghi secures first podium position since 2011. New recruit Morgan Larson talks about the transition to the America's Cup winning team here
- New teams and sailors freshen up the fleet and show moments of brilliance – a sign of things to come in what is shaping up to be the closest Series to date
It may not have been high speed racing on the final day of the Extreme Sailing Series opening Act in Muscat, Oman, today but it was as tense as it gets, and in classic Extreme Sailing Series style, it came down to the final race for the winner to be decided. Defending champion Leigh McMillan and his team on The Wave, Muscat sailed a picture perfect day coming back from a 15 point deficit to Red Bull Sailing Team to claim overall victory, in the closest possible finish on their home turf.
Just two points separated Red Bull Sailing Team and The Wave, Muscat going into the final double-pointer and the maths was simple – whoever performed better in that race, would win the Act. The invitational home team, Team Duqm Oman – with the winner of the inaugural Series back in 2007 Robert Greenhalgh at the helm – won the race, but The Wave Muscat did enough to secure victory after a tense battle. An elated, and slightly shell-shocked McMillan commented: "We have had a mixed bag this week but an exceptional day today, that's just the way the sport is. You can't always get it right, but today we did it when it absolutely mattered. I'm not sure if we will be able to go and pull something off like that again, at every event! It was a tall ask for the team today but I'm just delighted that we just managed to have such a good day."
Red Bull Sailing Team have been one of the form teams in Muscat this week, handling the big breeze open water racing on day one with equal skill as the light wind stadium racing. But it was not to be for the double Olympic gold medal-winning skipper Roman Hagara as his pre-race concerns about falling at the final hurdle came to fruition and tonight they will surely be thinking about what could have been. "In that last race we were good off of the start line, matching them (The Wave, Muscat), but in the end we were not fast enough and could not hold them off. There was no way to catch up and the courses are so short. I just hope we can do better in Singapore," said Hagara.
The Swiss America's Cup winners Alinghi have been rock solid since the beginning of the Act, with the new pairing of skipper Ernesto Bertarelli and tactician Morgan Larson, who steered Oman Air to second place last season, leading the team to their first podium position since 2011. The SAP analytical data tells us they were the fastest boat on the course this week, at an average of 8.54 knots, and if they can get their distance sailed down, they could be on a course to victory. Trimmer Pierre-Yves Jorand said: "It was a great race, we have a great team and the addition of Morgan Larson is just huge for us and we are very, very happy with our third place. Obviously Ernesto, Yves, Nils and I are used to sailing together, we understand each other very well in these light conditions. Morgan made some great calls on the tactics as well as looking at the pulse and looking at the pressure. We didn't start off too well today but we did it very nicely in the end, we are really happy!"
For the new skippers on Realteam, GAC Pindar and Team Korea who joined the party in Oman, each has showed moments of brilliance, a sign of things to come this year and a testament to how strong the fleet is. Since winning a silver medal for New Zealand at the London 2012 Olympic Games, Peter Burling has been riding on a whirlwind – first skippering Team Korea in the America's Cup World Series before making his Extreme 40 debut this week in Muscat and impressively steering his team to fifth place. Watch the interview with Burling as he talks about finding his way around the Extreme Sailing Series stadium race course here.
Although this is only Act 1 of 8 international events this year, James Boyd, Editor of thedailysail.com's form guide certainly reads true for the Act here in Muscat, with Leigh McMillan sending out a message to the other teams that he is the Series favourite. But with all the teams taking part this season having the potential to challenge The Wave, Muscat, there is a feeling that 2013 is going to be one of the closest yet.
Next stop, Singapore, where the fleet will race within the world famous Marina Bay Reservoir, from the 11th-14th April with a new invitational team, Team Aberdeen Singapore. Whilst conditions this year in Singapore are expected to be very light, there is no doubt that the high tension and close racing seen in Muscat will be repeated.

Salisbury, N.C. - Lindsay Brendle nearly finished with a double-double to pace the Tornados offensive efforts on Wednesday evening in Goodman Gymnasium, but behind Dana Hicks' 16 rebounds, the Catawba Indians held an overwhelming advantage on the boards as Catawba held off Brevard in South Atlantic Conference action, 62-42.
Catawba (15-6, 10-3 SAC) used a 10-2 run to open the second half in pulling away from Brevard (5-16, 0-13 SAC) early, as Hicks led the Indians to a 64-33 rebounding advantage, pulling down 27 offensive rebounds in completing the season sweep over the Tornados.
Brendle led Brevard off the bench on Wednesday evening, scoring 14 points and pulling down nine rebounds as the Tornados struggled to connect from the floor, shooting 25.5 percent (14-55) against the Indians. Anna Schlobohm added seven points and three assists, while Lacey Singletary and Holli Flippo had four rebounds apiece in the loss.
Chloe Bully and Nisha Long scored 15 points apiece to pace the Indians efforts as Catawba shot 34.3 percent (23-67) from the floor in the victory. Hicks finished with the double-double, scoring 13 points and pulled down 16 rebounds, while Elizabeth Merritt added eight rebounds as the Indians took over sole control of first in the South Atlantic Conference standings.
The Indians opened up scoring their first three baskets in the paint as Bully connected twice and Hicks added a layup as Catawba opened up with an 8-2 lead following a Bully layup at the 14:33 mark. Micheala Watkins cut into the lead with a jumper and Brendle connected on a three-pointer to cut the lead back to one, before a jumper by Schlobohm at the 9:56 mark gave the Tornados their first lead of the contest.
Hicks put the Indians back in the lead from the free throw line on Catawba's next trip down the court and the Indians went up 14-9 on a Long jumper with 7:58 on the clock. Singletary and Brendle answered with baskets of their own to bring the game back to within one, but Lauren Lewis ended the BC challenge with a three-pointer as the Indians closed out the half on an 11-3 run as Catawba took the 25-16 lead into the halftime break.
The early 10-2 run in the second half put the lead at 17 as the Indians went up 35-18 following a pair of free throws by Hicks with 15:09 to play in the contest. Catawba went up by as many as 25 in the contest, holding their largest lead of the game at 58-33 with 3:16 remaining in the game.
Brevard made one final run in the final three minutes, sparked by a three-pointer by Chezney McJunkin with 2:58 remaining on the clock as the Tornados went on a 9-2 run capped by a three-pointer by Holli Flippo, but time ran out before Brevard could get back into the game as the Tornados fell on the road, 62-42.
Brevard returns home to Brevard, N.C. on Saturday, February 11th as the Tornados welcome Mars Hill College for a South Atlantic Conference game. Tipoff between the Tornados and the Lions in Boshamer Gymnasium is set for 2 p.m.

Profar named baseball's top prospect
Rangers shortstop beats out Bundy, Taveras for No. 1 ranking
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | January 29, 2013 6:16 PM ET
The 19-year-old switch-hitter took the top spot ahead of Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy and Cardinals outfielder Oscar Taveras when the Top 100 Prospects were revealed live on MLB Network on Tuesday evening.
Rays farmhand Wil Myers is fourth overall, followed by Mariners right-hander Taijuan Walker and new Mets catcher Travis d'Arnaud sixth. Pitchers Jose Fernandez (Marlins), Zack Wheeler (Mets), Gerrit Cole (Pirates) and Tyler Skaggs (D-backs) round out the Top 10.
Each of the 30 big league clubs are represented in the Top 100, with the Rangers, Cardinals, Marlins, Twins and Red Sox each placing six prospects on the list. The Rays, Mariners, D-backs and Padres have five players apiece among the Top 100.
"It is a big honor being the No. 1 prospect," Profar told MLB Network by telephone. "Hitting a home run in my first at-bat, that is something you can never expect. It was great playing with the Rangers ... it was awesome."
Signed by the Rangers as a non-drafted free agent in 2009, Profar climbed to the top of the rankings after starting 2012 as baseball's No. 7 prospect and the second-best shortstop behind the Orioles' Manny Machado.
Mariners backstop Mike Zunino, ranked 23rd overall and second among catchers, was one of the prospects live tweeting the unveiling of the Top 100. He and Profar could face each other in the big leagues before the season is over.
Congrats to Jurickson Profar for being named the #1 prospect. Looking forward to one day playing against him in the AL West. #mlbpipeline— Mike Zunino (@Mike_Zunino) January 30, 2013
Profar, a Texas League mid- and postseason All-Star who also played in the 2012 Futures Game, batted .281 with 14 homers and 62 RBI in 126 games with Double-A Frisco before earning a September callup when rosters expanded. The native of Curacao homered off Cleveland's Zach McAllister on the fourth pitch he saw in the Majors and went on to hit .176 with two RBIs in nine games with the Rangers.
Bundy also reached the Majors in 2012, despite starting the season with Class A Delmarva. In 23 starts across three Minor League levels, the 20-year-old went 9-3 with a 2.08 ERA. He recorded 119 strikeouts over 103 2/3 innings, holding opponents to a .186 average.
Ranked 10th overall a year ago, Bundy earned Carolina League midseason All-Star honors with Class A Advanced Frederick. In two relief appearances with the Orioles, he yielded a hit and a walk over 1 2/3 scoreless innings.
"I felt good throughout the whole year," Bundy told MLB Network. "I still had the zip on the fastball that I needed and I was throwing strikes and competing out there. [The Orioles] said they are going to let me throw a lot more than last year ... and I'm excited to move forward this year."
While Zunino set his sights on facing Profar, D-backs right-hander and No. 24 prospect Archie Bradley put his support behind Bundy.
i know profar is good but @dylan_bundy is no doubt the #1 prospect in the minors! kid is unreal maybe im just bias @mlbnetwork @mlbpipeline— Archie Bradley (@ArchieBradley7) January 30, 2013
In Taveras, the Cardinals have what some scouts consider to be the best pure hitter in the Minors. The 20-year-old outfielder has hit at every level throughout his career and many expect him to build on a breakout 2012 season.
After hitting .386 with eight homers and 62 RBIs with Class A Quad Cities in 2011, Taveras produced a 23-homer, 94-RBI performance with Double-A Springfield last season.
Signed as a non-drafted free agent in 2008, Taveras was named a Topps Double-A All-Star and also represented the World team at the Futures Game. He was named a Texas League mid- and postseason Texas League All-Star.
Among the Top 100 Prospects, 76 players came to the pro game via the Draft. Forty-two were first-rounders and 10 others were sandwich picks. Eight countries are represented by 24 international free agents.
Each of the top three prospects from last year's list -- Matt Moore, Bryce Harper and Mike Trout -- played prominent roles with their big league team in 2012. Braves right-hander Julio Teheran, ranked No. 4 last year, fell to No. 31, while Cards farmhand Shelby Miller dropped from fifth to 25th.

text: Japan have dominated just about everything they've set their mind to, but their international soccer team, have yet do that. Japan have created some classy players, and have always played with a team first emphasis that's led them to being a difficult team to beat. They've had a lot of great players, but newer players that they've seen become national stars such as Shinji Kagawa and Keisuke Honda have led to them believing they're on the right track to improvement. The pair are adored and are on many Japan soccer jerseys, but just how far can they take their country?

Every couple of years ago, I get re-obsessed with Truman Capote. When I do, I go back and read everything. I read his books. I read the biographies. I re-watch the interviews. And I always, always fantasise about the Black and White Ball. Truman is one of the few legitimate writer-celebrities. There will never not be a time when I don't wonder why he sabotaged himself the way he did. Full Story

Blake Lively is doing reshoots for The Shallows in LA. I didn't have much to say about this until I found out in the photo captions that her character's name is Nancy. Is this a contemporary film?

If you recall, a few weeks back we made some Texas Hot Links. Well, at the same time we also made some Hot Italian Sausage. Haven't posted about it yet, because we haven't done anything with it till yesterday (and let me tell you it was killing me not to cook some of it up)
On the Egg at 400 (I was shooting for 350, but overshot and didn't bother to bring it down) with some peppers and onions
I think this was our best sausage to date!! List of ingredients was much smaller than the Hot Links and they really stood out by themselves. Sausage was so juicy, the first bite it just exploded and ran down my chin. I can't wait to cook the rest. The recipe and more pictures can be found HERE
