YOUNGSTER Callum Wright is hoping he can continue to make the grade for the Bluebirds and earn a regular spot in Mark Collier's starting line-up.
The 19-year-old student, who plays for the University of Bath in midweek, made his third consecutive start fin last weekend's goalless draw with Corby Town.
Utility man Wright, who had a spell at Wootton Bassett Town earlier this season, was snapped up by Collier within the Bluebirds boss' first few weeks in charge and the former Swindon Town and Chelsea academy player is hoping that his patience has paid off.
"I've bided my time, which I expected. I've known Mark for a long time through different things to do with football and I've been at a few clubs but this suits me well, with being at uni in Bath," said Wright, who played alongside Great Britain Olympic sprinter Adam Gemili during his spell in Chelsea's youth set-up.
"I play at the uni and we have a link with the U21s at Bath City so I was doing a bit of that (before joining Chippenham). Before that I played academy football at Bristol City and Swindon and I was at Chelsea for a few years.
"It's good to come in to the team and be unbeaten so far – I'm enjoying it. Hopefully I can have a good run of games in the team.
"By trade, I'd say I was a centre midfielder but I've played at right-back a few times over the years and as long as I'm in the team, I'm happy.
"I want to keep my shirt and it's only good for the team if there's competition to push us on."
Wright was part of a solid defensive display from the Bluebirds against Corby and thought that a goalless stalemate was the right result at Hardenhuish Park.
He added: "It was nice to get a clean sheet as a back four and as a team but it's hard to get a result on a pitch that's bumpy and bobbly. Nil-nil was probably a fair result and it was good to get a point out of it.
"There's good morale within the team and hopefully we can get on a little bit of a run now and get moving on."

R.A. Dickey was brilliant once again today as he was just two outs shy of pitching a complete game shutout against the Cardinals, 4-0. He allowed only four hits and two walks as he improved to 7-4 on the season and lowered his ERA to 2.32, the lowest of any Mets starter.

After the Cardinals got runners on first and second with one out in the ninth, Jerry Manuel pulled Dickey. Because it was a save situation, Francisco Rodriguez came into the game and got the final two outs for his 22nd save of the season. Dickey's pitching deep into this game was important as it gave the bullpen a day to rest, especially after last night's taxing outing.
Despite a 13-inning loss last night, the Mets did not come out flat-footed. They had seven hits, but it was enough to put up four runs. Ike Davis provided all of the offense Dickey would need by hitting a three-run home run in the third inning. Carlos Beltran tacked on another run in the fifth inning after Angel Pagan hit a triple, his seventh of the season. Pagan had two more hits, raising his average to .309.
The Mets next will take on the Diamondbacks at home. Mike Pelfrey will try to make it back-to-back wins for the first time in a month.

Backyard Bugs Cakelette Pan
Great gift for a entamologist. Also fun for the budding naturalist to play with, or boys who just plain like bugs (and/or their moms) :)
Love cupcakes, but need something bigger?? Use this large cupcake pan to make one big huge cupcake!!!
After making the Sprinkles Lemon cupcakes, my mom and I couldn't help but pick up a Dark Chocolate mix each while they were on sale. I simply cannot wait to make them!
This would be the perfect birthday cake for that cupcake lover you love. This cupcake pan creates a cake that's six inches high and seven inches across.Added 9 Years Ago from Williams-Sonoma

Did you know?
The Forum Homini honeymoon suite in the Cradle of Humankind is based on the idea of a 'luxury cave'.
Gauteng offers a wonderful combination of urban adventures and wide-open spaces for those thinking about enjoying a honeymoon here.
You can start off in either Johannesburg or Pretoria (which are also great places to get married with loads of wedding venues to choose from), and then move further afield to take in all the attractions the province has to offer. A day in Soweto is a must. Get to know a little about the incredible history of this township – Vilikazi Street, the Hector Pieterson Museum and the Orlando Towers are all worth a visit. Or stop off at one of the shebeens (township taverns) for local cuisine and a spot of music.
Johannesburg is a buzzing city, and the regeneration of its urban spaces continues to attract art lovers and city slickers from around the world. Visit Arts on Main in the Maboneng Precinct and Newtown for some artistic inspiration. For good food, visit the Neighbourgoods Market, or do some shopping in the world-class malls of Rosebank and Sandton.
Pretoria boasts the historical buildings around Church Street, as well as Freedom Park on the outskirts of the city, which pays tribute to the country's road to democracy. Hatfield is a fun place to hang out, and Pretoria is known for having some superb restaurants.
Honeymoons in Gauteng are also about getting out into the country. You can travel the Dinokeng tourist route, where you'll find the mining town of Cullinan. There are a number of B&Bs in and around the town, and some fine eateries down the main drag. Jan Harmsgat se Agterplaas is one of the main attractions and a great place to buy local art.
Or take a drive in a different direction to the Muldersdrift area, where you'll find some romantic guest houses and hotels, such as the Misty Hills Country Hotel or Glenburn Lodge. There are also some great spas in this part of the world.
The Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site is also a superbly romantic spot; the Forum Homini boutique hotel nearby the sites at Sterkfontein Caves and Maropeng is a romantic getaway. You could also opt to stay at the beautiful Maropeng boutique hotel.
And just outside Pretoria is Kievits Kroon country estate, a great place to unwind and enjoy the wide-open spaces of the Highveld.

The world is currently experiencing a humanitarian crisis that is largely unrecognised in western high income countries. Currently, more that 1 billion people do not have access to safe drinking water within reasonable walking distance of their homes. This factor combined with poor sanitation and inadequate hygiene is causing about 1.8 million deaths each year throughout the world (World Health Organization, 2007). For each death, many more become seriously ill, particularly children who bear much of the burden of diarrhoeal and other water-related diseases throughout the world.
The management of small community or household water supplies remains problematic in many parts of the world because of the difficulty of disinfecting drinking water using locally available resources. In many regions it may not be possible to obtain enough firewood to boil water because of the effects of deforestation and land degradation, and it is often difficult to obtain chlorination agents for water disinfection in these regions. Although a number of techniques have been developed for the solar pasteurization of drinking water, the application of these techniques may be hindered by the availability of thermometers or other devices for measuring when water temperature reaches levels where pathogen die-off will occur. In the absence of water temperature measurements, boiling is the only unequivocal way of ensuring of drinking water safety.
The following notes describe the construction of a solar water boiler made with recycled wastes and other readily available materials that is able to disinfect small amounts of drinking water for household use. Depending on the local availability of materials, the unit described can be constructed within a few hours for a material cost of about $US 2 - $US 5.

A COLNE mum-of-one benefits cheat had gone to live in Tunisia, a court heard.
Stephanie Ainsworth, 31, was alleged by the prosecution to have left England for eight months.
Prosecutor Andrew Robinson said money had been taken out from banks in Tunisia during that time, and no withdrawals were made from any banks in the UK. Ainsworth claimed she had been away for no more than 12 weeks, and that her mother had used her only bank card in Tunisia after Ainsworth returned to the UK, Burnley magistrates were told.
Ainsworth, of New Bath Street, admitted one count of failing to notify a change in circumstances to the Department for Work and Pensions, and two similar allegations, involving housing and council tax benefits. The offences were said to have taken place between October 2012 and May 2013.
She was put on a three- month curfew, seven days a week, between 8pm and 7am, and must pay a £60 victim sur-charge and £40 costs.
Mr Robinson said Ainsw-orth made a claim for employment and support allow- ance, and her claim was not a fraud at the outset.
She was overpaid £6,323. Keith Rennison, defending, said Ainsworth claimed ESA as she suffered from paranoid psychosis and was on medication. She thought she was allowed to leave the country for up to 12 weeks. She is repaying from her ben- efits and still receives ESA.

Padres' Kelly dominates River Cats
Club's No. 2 prospect sets career high with nine strikeouts
By Robert Emrich / Special to MLB.com | April 11, 2012 10:04 PM ET
The Padres' top pitching prospect struck out a career-high nine batters and allowed five hits over six scoreless innings as Tucson lost to Sacramento, 3-2, on Wednesday.
Kelly, who didn't figure into the decision, did not issue a walk for the Padres. After allowing a double to Michael Taylor with one on and no outs in the fourth, Kelly buckled down to retire the final nine batters he faced, six via the strikeout.
"Early on, my fastball command wasn't very good," Kelly said. "I tried getting through with my offspeed stuff and it got me through some jams. As the game went on, I got a little better with the fastball command. I think the fastball kicked in and I had a good curveball which got me out of some jams. Later on in the game, just having a good mix is what did it for me."
Kelly previously fanned eight batters twice while pitching for Double-A Portland in July 2010. The 22-year-old Floridian has yet to earn a decision in the Pacific Coast League, but has a 2.25 ERA in two starts with 14 strikeouts for the Padres.
"I'm just trying to get people out whether it's a strikeout, a groundout or a popout," the former first-rounder said. "Tonight I had a good mix going and got those strikeouts."
Kelly outdueled Jarrod Parker, Oakland's top prospect, who allowed two runs -- one earned -- on nine hits while striking out six over six innings for the River Cats. The matchup provided no extra motivation for Kelly however.
"I'm not facing him but it's always fun to face someone like him," Kelly said. "It's going to be low-scoring and you know you're going to get a good performance out of him."
Brad Boxberger, the Padres' No. 12 prospect, took the loss. He allowed two runs on two hits in the ninth.
Derek Norris, the A's No. 7 prospect, was 2-for-4 with a run scored and is batting .393 for Sacramento.

PHILADELPHIA – Last weekend was a good one for the University of Pennsylvania men's basketball team, which not only won consecutive games for the first time this season but also saw the Ivy League standings tilt in its favor. The Quakers once again control their destiny, and can bring one of those first-place teams level to them in the loss column on Friday as they travel to Yale to face the Bulldogs. One night later, the Red and Blue face the only other team that enters the weekend with two Ivy losses, Brown, in Providence.
GAME 20 - PENN (6-13, 3-2 Ivy League) at YALE (11-9, 5-1)
Friday, Feb. 14, 2014 * 7 p.m.
John J. Lee Amphitheater (New Haven, Conn.)
TV: Ivy League Digital Network (there is a fee for this service)
Radio: WNTP 990 AM (Brian Seltzer, Stan Pawlak)
GAME 21 - PENN at BROWN (12-8, 4-2)
Saturday, Feb. 15, 2014 *6 p.m.
Pizzitola Sports Center (Providence, R.I.)
TV: Ivy League Digital Network (there is a fee for this service)
Radio: WXPN 88.5 FM (Brian Seltzer, Stan Pawlak)
The Yale-Brown Road Trip
*Penn has made this weekend New England swing 57 times; the Quakers have swept the trip 26 times, split it 25 times -- including each of the last two years -- and been swept six times (most recently in 2004).
*Each of the last two years, Penn's win has come at Brown while the loss has come at Yale. Last season, the Quakers defeated the Bears on Friday (66-64) but lost to the Bulldogs on Saturday (79-65).
*Nine of the last 11 times Penn has split this trip, dating back to the 1989-90 season, the loss has come at Yale.
The Series with Yale
*The Quakers have met the Bulldogs 218 times and lead the series, 146-72.
*That said, Yale has won three of the last four meetings including both of last season's matchups. The Bulldogs took last year's opener in Philadelphia, 68-59, and then rollwed the Quakers here in New Haven at the end of the season, 79-65. Tony Hicks had 27 points combined in last year's games.
*Yale has been a difficult place for Penn, even in the best of times; the Quakers have lost here nine times since 1996, more than any other venue in the Ivies.
The Series with Brown
*The Quakers have met the Bears 124 times and hold a commanding 103-21 lead in the series.
*Penn has won six in a row over Brown and nine of the last 10 meetings.
*Last year, Penn rolled over Brown at The Palestra in Philadelphia, 71-48, as Miles Jackson-Cartwright had 28 points and Tony Hicks added 15. In the rematch at the Pizzitola Sports Center, Jackson-Cartwright completed a 25-point night by hitting a pair of free throws with 0.7 seconds left on the clock to give the Quakers a 66-64 victory.
Up The Scoring Chart
Senior Miles Jackson-Cartwright enters the weekend with 1,301 career points which is tied for 16th in Penn history with Tyrone Pitts (1985-88). Tony Price (1,322 points from 1977-79) is 15th.
The Quaker Notemeal of Note
*Penn played a game on every Saturday in January this season. Seems reasonable, right? It is, until you realize that the Quakers haven't done that since the 2002-03 season.
*Penn has held 14 of its 19 opponents this season below 45 percent shooting from the field; George Mason was one of those other five teams, but barely -- the Patriots shot 45.3 percent (24-53) on January 2.
*Penn is 6-4 this season when leading at the half; before the January 31 game at Dartmouth, when the Quakers surrendered a seven-point halftime advantage and lost to the Big Green, the halftime leads they had lost were 1 point (Lafayette), 1 point (Wagner), and 2 points (George Mason).
*Penn entered the week 16th nationally in assist/field goal ratio, at .618; only Princeton among the Ivies is also in the top 25; the Tigers are 23rd.
*In Penn's 19 games so far, head coach Jerome Allen has played 15 players in a game twice this season, 14 players four times, and 13 players six times; last Saturday, all 11 players who dressed saw game action.
*Ten different players have made at least two starts for Penn this season, and only senior Fran Dougherty has started all 19 games.
*Penn used its ninth different starting lineup last weekend -- its sixth in the last 12 games -- and has put out the same lineup in consecutive games just seven times.
*Penn has four players averaging double figures in scoring -- Tony Hicks (15.3), Dougherty (12.6), Miles Jackson-Cartwright (11.8), Darien Nelson-Henry (10.7) -- but the Quakers have had more than three double-figure scorers in a game just once this season (January 25 against NJIT).
*Five different players have led Penn in scoring (Dougherty, Jackson-Cartwright, Hicks, Nelson-Henry, Julian Harrell) and all five have had at least one 20-point game.
*After recording 14 rebounds combined in Penn's first four games (3.5 rpg), Dougherty has 127 in the last 15 contests (8.5 rpg); he has snared nine or more boards in 10 of Penn's last 13 games.
*Hicks has led Penn or shared the lead in scoring in seven of the last nine games (17.0 ppg in that stretch); the only game in which he didn't reach double figures in scoring during this stretch was at Dartmouth (4 points).
*Jackson-Cartwright has hit six three-pointers in one game this season (Rider), five treys in another game (Monmouth), and four in three other games (Villanova, George Mason, NJIT).
*Jackson-Cartwright enters the weekend having hit 22 of his last 25 free throws.
*Jackson-Cartwright is likely to make his 99th and 100th career starts this weekend; in fact, he has started 98 of the last 101 games he has played at Penn. Earlier this season, he came off the bench at Marist due to a thumb injury. The other times he played in a game but did not start during this stretch? Dec. 10, 2011 at UCLA, and March 8, 2011 against Princeton (Penn's Senior Day of his freshman year).

Maps in real time "Hc3v4-15mapGHI"
|Last update: Apr. 2015
Annual subscription to 15 min Global Horizontal Irradiation bitmap Maps in Wh/m² and in TIFF format delivered in real time (h-15 min) on a given area, during daylight time from 3:00 TU to 20:45 UT.
Date: service available since March 2011
The pixel resolution is the Meteosat native pixel size over the zone and the projection is the Meteosat satellite native projection.
The maps are retrieved by the Customer through a Wget type command or an http request directly in a specific directory on the soda-is server machine. The Customer is identified through a login and password.
A mirror backup server (http://pro.soda-is.com/) is available to increase the reliability of the service.
NB: We also developed the "HC15mapUV-[...country]" service to provide UV maps derived from the HelioClim-3 database. Contact us for more details on this specific service.
In practice
The Customer communicates the rectangular box over the area cover by the service.
To limit the load on the service, the GHI values are divided by a factor of 1.2 to be stored in 8 bit TIFF format, leading to the approximate precision of 1 watt.
It is also possible to GHI maps with a 10^-2 precision in 16 bit TIFF images.
Archive: please note that the Hc3v4-15mapGHI maps are conserved for the last 4 weeks.
The Hc3v4-15mapGHI includes the post-processing layers that are available in the time series HC3v4. Here they are:
- Each pixel is re-interpolated in time at an exact 15 min UTC
- All pixels where sun elevation is below 2 degrees are interpolated
- Altitude correction (using SRTM Altitude database)
- Kc-max correction
- Bias correction
1. Each pixel is re-interpolated in time at an exact 15 min UTC
To be able to apply the re-interpolation, this step implies to already have the next slot. Let's take as example Germany maps today at 10:15.
HC15mapGHI creates a new map [server]/germany/germany_irr_1504221000.tif. It contains GHI irradiation extracted from the sole 1504221000 MSG slot, i.e. irradiation at approximately 10:11 UT for Germany.
Hc3v4-15mapGHI generates 2 maps:
- [server]/germany-hc3v4/germany_irr_1504221000.tif contains GHI irradiation from 09:45 to 10:00 UT. This map is final.
- [server]/germany-hc3v4/germany_irr_1504221015.tif contains GHI irradiation from 10:00 to 10:15 UT. This map is a 4 minutes forecast (for Germany) and will be updated 15 minutes later.
2. All pixels where sun elevation is below 2 degrees are interpolated
When the sun elevation is below 2 degrees, the previous service without post-processing layers (HC15mapGHI) was generating no data (pixel = 254). In the new service HC3v4-15mapGHI, the irradiation values are interpolated using an interpolation based on the persistance of the clearness index Kc (GHI/GHI_clearsky.
NB: this remark can be generalized for every missing MSG slot. The previous service without post-processing layers was generating no map for Germany, whereas the new service provides an interpolated maps based on Kc persistance.
3. 4. 5. Altitude, Kc_max and bias corrections
Altitude correction and Kc-max correction are bug fixes for altitude and albedo errors.
Bias correction is a global calibration of hc3v4 w.r.t. BSRN stations.

ORLANDO, Fla. - It's a crime where the weapon is a vehicle, and Florida Highway Patrol troopers say hit-and-run crashes have become an epidemic.
On Monday, the FHP got together with families who have lost a loved one in hit-and-run crashes to bring awareness -- and closure.
The families have pictures and memories but little answers about the last moments of their loved ones' lives.
Joni Brown, Aaron Jones' aunt, told Local 6, "No feelings, no thought for life, and it's very painful to the family."
In December, her nephew, Aaron, was on a moped on Goldenrod Road when a light-colored sedan hit and killed him. Three months later, Joni still knows very little about who did it.
"Aaron was a great guy. He'd do anything for you (and) never had a bad word for anybody," Brown said.
In the state of Florida last year, there were more than 70,000 hit-and-run cases in which 17,000 people were injured, the FHP said. In 168 cases, a driver killed someone and left the scene, troopers said.
"We can solve a case with the smallest amount of evidence, something we think sounds impossible, we need somebody to come forward," FHP spokeswoman Kim Montes said.
"Even if we find who did this, it's not going to help the outcome, but it will help us," Brown added.
The penalty for leaving the scene of a crash ranges from 5 to 30 years of prison.
Anyone with information about hit-and-run crashes is urged to call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.

How-To: Deep Side Part
Jason Segel isn't the only one enamored with Michelle Williams. The actress's cropped cut garnered the most requests, jumping from last year's third-place standing. "The cut is low-maintenance and more versatile than you think," says freelance hairstylist Thomas Dunkin, who works with Williams. When her hair is damp, he brushes down the shorter back and sides, then uses his hands to smooth the longer length on top. The cut is particularly popular in steamy climates. "Even when the temperature reaches triple digits, the pixie looks put together and effortless," says Rachel Gower, owner of Houston's The Upper Hand salon.
A few sprays of Got2B Oil-Licious Dry Oil Mist fight frizz and deliver shine; Dunkin crafts "movement and texture" with Sebastian Molding Mud pomade but says less is more: "Don't be too fussy overstyling this look. The beauty of it is the simplicity"; the fine bristles of the Mason Pearson brush keep "the sides flat and fluffiness down."

TWO men burst into a betting shop and stole cash from the till yesterday.
The incident happened at Ladbrokes in St Martin's Quarter, Worcester, after the men entered the city centre branch at about 7.15pm.
The first man approached the counter with his hands in his pockets and told the cashier to hand over the cash while the other man stood in the doorway to prevent it from being locked.
Worried he was concealing a weapon, the cashier handed over the cash she had in her till.
One of the customers in the store attempted to leave and was told by the first man to sit down and he was threatened with violence.
Once the cash had been handed over, both men made off on foot in the direction of St Paul's Street.
Both men are described as being Asian or possibly white, in their late teens or early 20s, between 5ft 8ins and 6ft tall, of slim to medium build and both had their faces covered.
The offence is being investigated by Detective Constable Wayne Cashion at Worcester CID, who said: "Robberies of this nature are rare in Worcester and as such we are treating it very seriously.
"While no one was hurt, the cashier and the customers present were shaken up by the offence and it is unacceptable that people have been targeted by criminals in their workplace.
"We would like to hear from anyone who recognises the description of the two men or who were in the St Martin's Quarter or St Paul's Street areas and saw something suspicious."
The first man was wearing a black hooded puffer jacket, blue tracksuit bottoms with white stripes down the side and trainers.
He was also wearing a mask that covered the lower half of his face, possibly a cyclist's pollution mask.
The second man was wearing a black hooded top and a scarf over his face, possibly with a Burberry pattern.
Anyone with information should call the police, quoting incident number 552s 14/01/14, on the non-emergency number 101.

Topic: Where Have you been Barb?
It has been weeks and weeks since I have posted, but I have excuses teacher, really I do! I had been complaining of shortness of breath for several weeks but my lungs were clear, my sats were in the 90's, so we just chalked it up to Tarceva side effects and took me off of it. I felt better but the shortness of breath still didn't go away. Just to reassure me (and him I think) my oncologist ordered a pulmonary CT, and bada bing, I was loaded with pulmonary emboli. As an old ICU nurse I knew that you can never trust the numbers, if the patient says they feel bad there is a reason. So, into the hospital and a heparin drip for me. after I was discharged I still couldn't quite get my old self back, so I was put on PRN oxygen. The fight with the insurance company was a doozy, since my sats never went down. I have a HCT of 27, pulmonary emboli and CC, but because my O2 sats didn't go below 90 I couldn't qualify for oxygen! I finally said to the medical director, gee, maybe I should start smoking and I can be just like those people you see with the portable oxygen units outside the grocery store smoking their cigarettes. That got a reaction and I got my oxygen!
THEN, the Friday before I was to leave on my cruise I started feeling TERRIBLE, puking, achey, everything. Went to see my oncologist and they hooked me up to IVs and anti nausea meds, and after a couple of hours and a nap I felt better. the weekend was uneventful, didn't feel great but didn't feel terrible. Monday came (2 days before I was supposed to leave) and the oncology nurse called and said "are you by any chance yellow?" As a matter of fact....... turns out my bili was 3.0. Long story short I was in for an ERCP and stent replacement the next day and left for my cruise the day after!
I had a wonderful time, didn't eat much but still had a great time. The most magical thing was swimming with the dolphins! If you EVER have the opportunity to do this DO IT! They say that dolphins have healing powers, hey, I'll try anything!
So, I am back, had a great holiday as I hope you all did as well!
Happy New Year everyone!

Fans will be able to catch all of the action live through audio, live stats, Facebook, and Twitter.
The Green and Gold makes the short trek south to square off against arch-rival Tampa with a record of 14-1-1, and an undefeated mark of 6-0-1 in SSC action. The Lions have outscored their opponents 46-13 so far this season, and have registered 39 assists for a total of 131 points.
Saint Leo currently ranks ninth in the nation in scoring offense, tallying 2.9 goals in a contest. Senior Dari Alcantara has helped put the Lions on the mark, notching 11 goals and five assists so far this season, and earning five game-winning goals. Alcantara ranks fourth in Division II in game-winning goals per game, and comes in at No. 16 in points per game, and 18th in goals per game.
The Lions' potent offense doesn't end at Alcantara, as Pia Soesemann and Cassie Barbaresi have put up big numbers this season as well. Despite missing six games due to injury, Soesemann ranks second on the team in goals scored collecting eight and adding three assists for 19 points, good for third on the team.
Barbaresi has been a constant support from the midfield, racking up seven goals and a team-high nine assists for 23 points overall. The Bradenton, Fla. native is 15th in DII in assists per game, and has helped the Lions come in at ninth out of 330 ranked teams with a won-lost-tied percentage of .906.
Freshman goalie Laura Carstens has allowed only seven goals in 14 starts, and has earned a save percentage of .870 so far this season.
The Spartans take to the pitch at Pepin Stadium in their final game of the season with a mark of 10-4-2, and 4-2-1 in conference play. Led by Jazmin Perry, who has scored nine goals and one assist for 19 points, the Lions have out-scored their opponents 42-11 in 16 games. Dishing out the assists is Gabby Russon, who has racked up 11. Russon adds four goals to her assist tally, matching Perry in points with 19.
Tampa enters into tonight's contest riding a four game win streak, but dropped contests to Rollins and Lynn earlier in the season. Saint Leo defeated the Tars and Fighting Knights by comfortable margins earlier in their campaign, and are unbeaten in conference play.
A victory tonight would clinch the regular season title for the Lions. Currently riding the conference standings in first place, the Green and Gold have already secured a spot in the Sunshine State Conference Tournament. While the Lions have brought home an SSC Tournament Title, they have never clinched the coveted regular season championship title. A victory tonight would to just that, and help the Lions mark a new first in the record books.

As I wrote on Sunday, as part of Blogger's 10th birthday they are creating gifts for their users and plan on rolling out new features. One such feature debuted today: new label options including the ability to organize labels into a cloud and to include/exclude certain labels.
Some readers of Bootcamp for GeneaBloggers may remember that a method of creating a label cloud was posted back in September 2008. The result, as shown below, is very elegant but involves editing the template and working with html code.
Here is how you can access the new Labels gadget options in Blogger and how the end result appears:
- Sign in at Blogger.
- The Dashboard will appear. Click Layout. The Layout tab appears.
- Click Add a Gadget. The Add a Gadget dialog appears.
- Use the scroll bar to scroll down and locate Labels. Click Labels and the Configure Labels dialog appears.
- The new options now include the ability to only show select labels (Show: All Labels or Selected Labels) and to display the labels in a list or a cloud (Display: List or Cloud). Select the options you want and click Save.
- Then click View Blog to see how your Labels gadget appears on your blog. Below is how the new options appear.
While these are nice features, I somehow feel that my earlier Label cloud which required tampering with the template and using HTML code is a bit more elegant. It has the flexibility of having different shades of color depending on how many or how few labels exist. It also lets me set the point size for the font with a max and a min range. But the new Google options offer some welcome flexibiity especially when you want to exclude certain labels.
UPDATE: it seems that the folks at Blogger Buster have posted a "how to" on customizing the Label Cloud feature which includes changing the font color and font size.

5 Ingredients: Stuffed Mushroomsby Dana Angelo White in 5-Ingredient Recipes, December 28, 2011
A light, flavorful and bite-sized app that's perfect for your next soiree. You can't go wrong with savory stuffed mushrooms.
Here's why they're healthy:
Earthy and low in calories, these vitamin and mineral-filled delights make a terrific vessel for finger food. Read more about why we love them.
Goat Cheese
Have you tried goat cheese? You only need a little of this creamy soft cheese to get big flavor.
Roasted Red Pepper
A punch of flavor, color and vitamin C. Pick up your favorite jarred variety or save money and preservatives by roasting your own.
Chopped Frozen Spinach
It's just as healthy as fresh spinach and easier to work with when you need a lot of it.
Fresh Bread Crumbs
Light and flaky fresh breadcrumbs make a crunchy topping and they're lower in sodium than the store-bought kind. Grind up a large chunk of day old bread in the food processor or use panko breadcrumbs instead.
Stuffed Mushrooms
Makes 40 pieces
40 medium white mushrooms (about 1 ¾ pounds), cleaned; stems removed
4 ounces goat cheese, softened
¼ cup chopped roasted red pepper
10 ounce bag chopped frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed well to removed excess water
1 ½ cups fresh breadcrumbs, divided
Kosher salt and black pepper
Nonstick cooking spray
Preheat oven to 375-degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
Place mushrooms on baking sheet (stem side up) and set aside. In a food processor fitted with a steel blade combine goat cheese, red pepper, spinach, 1 cup breadcrumbs, ½ teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste. Pulse until well combined. Stuff each mushroom with a heaping teaspoon of spinach mixture and sprinkle with remaining breadcrumbs. Bake for 20 minutes, cool slightly and serve.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced on Wednesday the launch of an Open Budget website for the public to have access to information about the state's budget, Gannett's Haley Viccaro reports.
OpenBudget.ny.gov provides budget data and easy-to-read tools and charts to make the financial data more understandable. The website also includes the option to download the data in various document types for analysis.
"Open Budget is bringing the people back into government by taking budget data out of government file cabinets and making it available to the public for the first time in an easy-to-access, downloadable form. This will facilitate research, analysis, and innovation," Cuomo said in a statement.
The website includes actual spending information for this year and dates back to 1994. Budget appropriations and capital appropriations can also be searched either statewide or by specific criteria.
Current and historical budgets can be searched and downloaded, which includes documents 60 years old when Nelson Rockefeller and Thomas Dewey were governors. Details about Cuomo's 2013-14 proposed budget are also available on the website.
"Open Budget, as a first dramatic step in Open New York, will give average citizens and researchers the ability to determine where the money has been and where it will be going," said Bob Freeman, executive director of the Committee on Open Government, in a statement.

Magical Kenya
Lapped by the Indian Ocean, straddling the equator, and with Mount Kenya rising above a magnificent landscape of forested hills, patchwork farms and wooded savanna, Kenya is a richly rewarding place to travel. The country's dramatic geography has resulted in a great range of natural habitats, harbouring a huge variety of wildlife, while its history of migration and conquest has brought about a fascinating social panorama, which includes the Swahili city-states of the coast and the Maasai of the Rift Valley.
Kenya's world-famous national parks, tribal peoples and superb beaches lend the country an exotic image with magnetic appeal. Treating it as a succession of tourist sights, however, is not the most stimulating way to experience it. If you get off the beaten track, you can enter the world inhabited by most Kenyans: a ceaselessly active scene of muddy farm tracks, corrugated-iron huts, tea shops and lodging houses, crammed buses and streets wandered by goats and children. Both on and off the tourist routes, you'll find warmth and openness, and an abundance of superb scenery – rolling savanna dotted with Maasai herds and wild animals, high Kikuyu moorlands grazed by cattle and sheep, and dense forests full of monkeys and birdsong.

HOUSTON - A Woodlands-area home was destroyed Tuesday when strong storms knocked over a tree and it fell on top of the house. Thousands of people also lost power when the storms moved through.

Thunderstorms moved in from the northeast mid-afternoon. After getting into the Montgomery County area, the storms tracked south into Houston. Strong winds, loud thunder and dangerous lightning were associated with the storms.
All over Spring, residents were left cleaning up downed trees and debris.
Barbara Sullivan and her family were helping neighbors remove limbs from their yard. They watched as the storm moved in about 5 p.m.
"We were coming up the HOV lane from 45 and it was just black, then we were coming from the park n' ride and it was just unbelievable," she said.
"The wind was seriously howling," said Greg Sullivan, Barbara's son. "It was coming through really, really, really fast."
On Stargrass Drive just north of FM 2920 in Spring, a huge tree fell on a pontoon boat.
Neighbors said the owner only had it for a few months and hadn't even put it in the water yet. The boat was destroyed.
The storms toppled a tree in Timber Lakes - Timber Ridge near the Woodlands in Montgomery County.
A family came home on Gary Lane to find the rotten tree had fallen through their home. They had recently moved in.
"We lost all of our material stuff, but we're all still alive," said Michael Sparks.
Sparks said his 3-month-old daughter usually spends her time near a glass door in the direct line of the fallen tree.
"We let her sit in front of the window so she can get sunlight. So, this is where she had been laying," said Sparks.
A doctor's appointment had them away from the house. They moved what they could salvage into the dry garage.
"There's about three inches of water on the floor. You can see the roof move at certain times. Since we've stood there, there's been three cracks where you'll see the tree shifting into the house," said Jill Sparks.
She said the family will now have to move and that they don't have renters' insurance.
One man, who asked that his name not be revealed, was hurt when he checked roof damage to his home. He fell off a ladder, spent the night at the hospital and went home Wednesday morning to clean up.
"It got dark and then it got windy and then it kind of calmed down," he said. "Then is started pouring down raining."
He said he didn't expect rain to pour down into his living room Wednesday, but it did because a tree busted a hole in his roof.
The storm also damaged the roof at the Randalls on Panther Creek in the Woodlands. The Montgomery County Sheriffs Office said that led to an evacuation.
The store reopened later with limited service and some standing water inside.
At the height of the storm, nearly 150,000 CenterPoint and Entergy customers, combined, were without power.

In a step described as "historic" as never before, some thousands of Muslims living in US performed their Friday Prayer (Jum"a prayer) in front of United States Capitol Building to finish any biased opinion about Islam. This prayer was organized by Darul Islam Elisabeth Mosque in New Jersey and Muslims from across America gathered to perform the weekly Friday prayer on lawns outside the building. After the prayer in which some thousands joined, the lecturers talked about the brotherhood of all religions and verses about peace were read from the Holy Qur'an.

Interview with Rod O'Shea, EMEA Embedded Group Director and Site Manager for Intel UKby Ian Cutress on 8/13/2013 6:00 AM EST
5 Comments
Back to Article
krumme - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkThank you Ian for another interesting interview!
Its nice to hear that talk from Intel - and show this side of Intel that is very much alive. They have a rough start, but the future is there if they grasp it.
Instead of this hel bend on going into the tradional phone market, with tons of stupid PR, Antutu and old AMD K7 paranoia, we get this:
"I think vertical integration covers many areas, and we will end up with a strategy that has very specific solutions maybe for the retail environment, or communications for example, and help in that broad deployment of intelligent solutions."
Its the way of thinking that will save Intel on the long 10-20 year term. But ofcourse the challenge is to find the specific areas - pillars - to build. The story about the lost water in the pipes shows how difficult it is. The solution is eg. already on the market by Grundfos, that also build on the most technological difficult core competences here; sensors and pumps.
But Intel will find its own way with people like ROS. There will be lots of project and strategy failures before they can harvest. But at least its not a dead end fighting in red ocean with Samsung, Apple, and the entire ARM ecosystem. Reply
flyingpants1 - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkNot one of my favourite articles. This guy is all buzzwords. Reply
watersb - Tuesday, August 13, 2013 - linkInteresting.
I expect a huge increase in sophistication of transport-related computing power: all the autos on the road communicating with one another. Traffic management. Quest for more efficiency.
My time spent in the UK is laughably brief, just a couple of weeks totals so far, but I still view the UK as a source of automotive innovation. At least on the high end. Reply
haihuynh - Wednesday, August 14, 2013 - linkgood ! ROS: We take interns from all disciplines – computer science, engineering, finance, marketing, so they are not all in the sciences. I think Intel is a company that is built on innovation and driving change as well as the value of technology. All of our innovation relies on challenging the status quo year after year, so finding people with the passion and interest that are looking to question and challenge is a key skill we look at. We always look at people willing to make a difference and change things – beyond that, for the specific disciplines we are always looking for people with a strong technology interest and an ability to take that and join that with real-life problems. I think the sweet spot of the industry has moved from the hardcore designer to the architecture of solutions, and learning to control that complete experience – that means you need to have knowledge of environments so it helps to find users that have a creative discipline and can implement that in a technological way. Many different types come into Intel which is great – Intel UK has employees of over 30+ nationalities, speaking 40+ languages, resulting in a very diverse employee base. Reply
haihuynh - Wednesday, August 14, 2013 - linkROS: I think having that capability from the data center, cloud and all the way through to the end point bring value. In reality, these are going to be systems of systems and very heterogeneous environments, and I think there are going to be different points to consider. I think vertical integration covers many areas, and we will end up with a strategy that has very specific solutions maybe for the retail environment, or communications for example, and help in that broad deployment of intelligent solutions.
IC: One question I like at all my interviews is this – if a high school/college/university student wants to have a goal of working with the company, what would you find is the best way going about doing it? I met some of the interns earlier today in the middle of their university courses! http://vieene.co/bop-nu Reply

BURY dropped three places to 20th in the League Two table after Saturday's match at Torquay United was called off due to a waterlogged pitch.
But manager David Flitcroft says frustration caused by the Shakers' third postponement in as many weeks was tempered by the fact games are now coming thick and fast.
The Shakers travel to Mansfield tonight in a fixture put back from January 28 following another postponement.
"There was a lot of frustration on that coach," said Flitcroft, after returning from a fruitless trip to the Devon coast.
"We were all the same. I felt on a bit of a low myself because you get yourself up for a game and all this adrenalin builds up and then nothing.
"But the biggest feeling was that at least we have another game on Tuesday.
"They just want to get out there."
Bury and Mansfield have enjoyed a similar run of form of late, with the Stags losing just once in eight matches and the Shakers once in seven.
But the Nottinghamshire outfit leapfrogged Bury with a 2-1 victory over high-flying Southend on Saturday and go into the game three points and three places better off.
Not that Flitcroft will allow that to cloud his preparations for the basement battle.
"We're not looking at the league table - I'm just looking at ourselves and what we can affect," said the Bury boss.
"We still have 54 points to play for and that excites me.
"We will get some momentum at some point. The rain isn't going to last forever.
"A positive person looks at what he can achieve - that's what we are about. "We have a positive chairman, a positive board and, at the minute, we have positive fans, and the plan is to keep that moving forward.
"That's the mindset I want to see in my players, and I can see they are making progress."
And Flitcroft is confident his side's patient style of play will be more than a match for Mansfield's aggressive approach.
"They are a very direct team but we have come up against quite a few of those this season and done well," he added.
On-loan winger Danny Mayor returns for Bury after completing a three-match ban, while striker Daniel Nardiello should be fit to start following his recovery from a hamstring injury.

Original artwork, both digital and hand-drawn, an exclusive time-lapse video presentation of in-process footage progressing to the finished film, and a revealing documentary that takes us into the DreamWorks Animation studio, show how the colorful world of the movie and its memorable characters were created.
An accompanying film series, with screenings every Saturday and Sunday at 1:00 p.m. and special holiday screenings, offers visitors the opportunity to experience the finest films from DreamWorks Animation, including the Shrek and Madagascar series, "Antz," "How to Train Your Dragon," and much more, in a theatrical setting. Note: The documentary "Creating an Epic" (directed by Patrick Hanenberger; 70 minutes) will screen continuously in the Bartos Screening Room from 2pm-close on weekdays and 12-6pm on weekends.
The exhibit is organized by guest curator Jenny He and chief curator David Schwartz, presented with support from DreamWorks Animation.

Magnificent Trees of The New York Botanical Garden - New York Botanical Garden
Through April 14, 2013 - Bronx
Larry Lederman, landscape photographer and member of NYBG's Board of Advisors, has spent years walking the garden grounds to observe and photograph trees and vistas in all seasons and at all times of day. Lush images featuring their diversity and visual impact are on view in the gallery space.
The New York Botanical Garden is home to more than 30,000 trees, some in woodland, some in groves, and some standing in solitary majesty. Magnificent Trees is lavishly illustrated with photographs by Larry Lederman and accompanied by descriptions by Todd A. Forrest, Arthur Ross vice president for horticulture and living collections at the garden. An authority on the diverse species present across the 250-acre landscape, Forrest details their fascinating histories -- from their vital role in Native American life and culture to their function in neutral territory during the Revolutionary War. Lederman captures their grandeur in hundreds of stunning images and portrays their diversity with photographs that reveal the trees in myriad fascinating perspectives: in landscape views that convey the garden's genius loci; portraits illustrating the architecture and profound visual impact of select trees; remarkable details of flowers, fruit, leaves, and bark; and impressionistic images, abstract in character yet beautiful in composition.

The kettle was boiling on the campfire and the sun was shining through the trees as Woodcroft Wood, in Sutton Veny, hosted the first ever open day at Copse and Loppers Forest School. This was promoting the new Saturday Club, which will open after Easter.
The two-acre site was filled with 27 enthusiastic children, exploring their new surroundings, hunting for bugs, whittling skewers and decorating tree trunks with clay 'tree spirits'.
Families built dens using branches and tarpaulins and rope, proving that it's not only the young who enjoy the freedom offered by a woodland environment.
"It was lovely to see parents working with their children to create structures," said owner and Forest School practitioner Lynn Blood.
"I think there was a bit of competitiveness between the dads, though – one even asked if he could come back next week to build an extension!
"We offer children the opportunity to explore independently and to use their own initiative to solve problems.
"They learn how to handle risks and cooperate with others, whilst learning new skills and developing self-confidence."
Copse and Loppers Forest School has been running after-school and holiday clubs in the woodland at Wylye Valley School, Codford, for nearly two years. Saturday sessions are also due to start in Sutton Veny soon.

Tarte amandine aux poires, the classic French almond-pear tart, is ubiquitous in Parisian pâtisseries. A shortbread-like crust is filled with almond cream, then topped with slices of poached pears. This cake is a nod to that tart, whose simple ingredients never cease to achieve quiet perfection.
The pears in this cake are the diminutive Seckels; firm, flavorful, and abundant this time of year. I poach them in a simple syrup of white wine and fresh cardamom pods, which add a floral undertone that mingles with the almond in the cake. Canned pears are frequently used in tarte amandine, and you can feel free to use them here, though the wine and cardamom flavors included in this recipe will be missing. Arrange the sliced pears in whatever manner suits you; the pears will look lovely however you do it.
The cake portion of this recipe is rich and buttery with a tight crumb that holds up well to the soft pear topping. Almond paste provides the base flavor, and a teaspoon of fresh lemon zest lends brightness.
Top this cake with a dusting of confectioners' sugar and freshly ground cardamom, or serve it with a spoonful of lightly sweetened whipped cream.

A DEAL supposed to make Fortescue Metals Group the biggest shareholder in a small shale explorer has attracted the attention of the corporate watchdog, amid apparent delays in finalising it.
While it has not launched a formal investigation, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission is understood to have made inquiries into the share price movements of Oil Basins on the days surrounding the announcement of a possible deal with Fortescue.
Oil Basins said on November 15 it had ''secured a strategic cornerstone investment'' from Fortescue that would see the iron ore miner take an 18 per cent stake in the shale minnow ''within five business days''.
Fortescue was slightly less bullish at the time, saying an agreement with Oil Basins had not been completed and the negotiations were part of Fortescue's strategy to investigate energy options for its iron ore business.
Almost three weeks later there has been no confirmation of the deal being finalised, and Oil Basins has refused to return multiple inquiries from Fairfax Media.
ASIC's inquiries are believed to relate to Oil Basins' share price rising more than 10 per cent on each of the two days before the Fortescue deal was announced.
The stock rose 35 per cent to 4.1¢ on the day the possible deal was announced. It has shed ground over the past two days, including a fall of more than 10 per cent on Tuesday.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/5/2013 (1569 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
In recent days and weeks, the floods of 2011 and 2012 have again been in the news and not just because key task-force reports were released on April 5, nor because of the protest at the opening of the Portage Diversion.
There was much angst about spending on snacks for flood victims, and unpaid hotel bills for flood evacuees. The provincial and federal governments have been engaged in very public squabbles about who will pay for what, and whether claimed expenses are legitimate.
But the headline that has been missing is the most important: Nearly 2,000 Manitobans are still out of their homes two years later. We wouldn't be talking about snacks and hotel bills if the flood victims were back in their communities.
Most, but not all, are members of Lake St. Martin First Nation. They were evacuated on May 8, 2011, just before floodwaters claimed their community. They are still out of their homes and do not know when or even where they will go home.
Lake St. Martin is a long way from Winnipeg. It sits between Lake Manitoba and Lake Winnipeg about 300 kilometres northwest of the city. Despite that great distance, the communities between the two big lakes, including Lake St. Martin First Nation, have been collateral damage to the flood infrastructure that has protected southern Manitobans for the last half-century.
The First Nations communities were the first affected by the flood of 2011. And they will be the last to go home.
This tragedy began not in 2011 but more than 50 years ago with the construction of the Fairford Water Control Structure on Lake Manitoba.
In the mid-1950s, years of high water on Lake Manitoba led to the construction of an expanded outlet on the Fairford River. It increased outflows in high-water years and reduced outflows in low-water years. By solving one problem, it created another for people downstream.
Lake St. Martin receives the water from Lake Manitoba via the Fairford River. That water then exits Lake St. Martin via the Dauphin River draining into Lake Winnipeg. Lake St. Martin is about 1/13th the size of Lake Manitoba, thus small changes in water level on the big lake result in big changes in water level on the small lake.
Both flooding and drought became more frequent on Lake St. Martin after the Fairford structure was opened in 1961. The problem grew much worse when the Portage Diversion was opened in 1970. It increased inflows to Lake Manitoba substantially, resulting in even greater flooding on Lake St. Martin.
The people of Lake St. Martin, which has been present since at least the mid-1800s, have relied upon fishing, hunting and trapping. The increased frequency of flood and drought since the 1960s has increasingly interfered with their traditional way of life that is intimately linked to the surrounding land and water. It is much more than just a place to build houses.
The disaster that occurred for the Lake St. Martin, Little Saskatchewan, Dauphin River and Pinaymootang First Nations communities serves to shine a bright light on historic problems that must be solved. The First Nations were not consulted on the construction of the water-control structures that benefit others at heavy cost to themselves.
This problem was identified in the Lake Manitoba Lake St. Martin Regulation Review, the task force led by Harold Westdal that was commissioned after the 2011/12 floods. Regarding new water-control structures to prevent future flooding, the task force was of the opinion "that no new works will be undertaken for either Lake Manitoba or Lake St. Martin without the effective approval of the First Nations below the Fairford River Water Control Structure."
Ever since the control structure was built, water levels have fluctuated widely in Lake St. Martin. Desirable water levels for Lake St. Martin range between 797 feet and 800 feet above sea level. Over the last two decades, the lake has been inside this range less than 40 per cent of the time. In 2011, Lake St. Martin rose to historic levels 2.5 feet above the level reached during floods in the 1950s.
Even the "emergency" channel built in the aftermath of the flooding to drain water from Lake St. Martin has not solved this larger problem. It opened in November 2011, and closed in November 2012. It did lower Lake St. Martin back to its operating range -- for about eight weeks.
The lake was below 800 feet from late September to late November 2012. Since then, the lake rose to 801.5 feet in February 2013, just below the flood stage of 801.7 feet and remains above 800 feet today. It may exceed flood stage again in coming weeks.
Solving water-management issues on Lake St. Martin is central to solving water-management issues upstream and is the long-term problem.
The short-term problem is getting the residents of Lake St. Martin back home. That an entire community of Manitobans is still displaced two years later is a travesty and a failure of our political leaders.
Federal and provincial politicians have clearly been passing the buck back and forth. At times it has been petty and small-minded. Leaders within the affected communities have been less than perfect, too. There is blame enough to go around. That said, all parties need to focus attention on the immediate and urgent goal: to get nearly 2,000 people back home.
And if our current politicians cannot get this job done, then maybe we need new ones.
Lake St. Martin First Nation needs to choose the location of a new community: The old community site has been ravaged by increased flooding ever since the Fairford structure opened. They will need to find higher ground. But if anyone thinks that someone else is going to choose the site for them, they are sadly mistaken.
The long and sordid history of relocating First Nations in Manitoba ensures this will not happen again. As I write these words, the Peguis and Fisher River First Nations, peoples relocated from traditional lands both north and south, are preparing to defend themselves from yet another round of flooding this spring.
The children of the Lake St. Martin First Nation now attend school in Winnipeg and wonder why they cannot go home. They are our fellow Manitobans and their homes, their school, their church, their community were sacrificed to benefit others. If they come to learn that the same people who benefited turned their back on them when it was time to right a wrong, that would be unforgivable.
On the weekend, I attended the Manitoba school science symposium where I saw award-winning projects by children from Little Saskatchewan and Fisher River First Nations. The theme of their projects? The effect of flooding on water quality and the environment in their communities. Is that the legacy we want to leave?
Scott Forbes is an ecologist at the University of Winnipeg and was among the many affected by the flood on Lake Manitoba.

Gardens Open House Features "Dragon Wagon" and New Greenhouse
KAYSVILLE, UT – The final Utah State University Botanical Center Farmers Market is held Thursday, Oct. 11, from 5 to 8 p.m. and will include a gardens open house. In addition, there will be food powered by the Dragon Wagon, USU's mobile gasification unit designed to make electricity from wood as a sustainable energy alternative.
Tour maps for the gardens will be available at the farmers market information booth, and tour guides will be stationed at the four botanical gardens to provide free plant lists and information. The tour includes the Varga Arboretum, the new Stokes Ornamental Grass Garden, the Utah House Garden and the new Backyard Demonstration Orchard.
The new high tunnel greenhouse is located in the Backyard Demonstration Orchard area, and USU Extension horticulturist Britney Hunter will be there to answer questions about extended season gardening and greenhouse structures.
The Dragon Wagon will create electricity to prepare food from T's Grill. The electricity created is enough to power two homes.
"This will be an exceptional night at the USU Botanical Center Farmers Market," said Hunter. "The weather will be perfect to bring the family for a walk through the new labyrinth and to taste test fresh-picked apple varieties that will be at the information booth."
The farmers market is located at 850 South 50 West in Kaysville. The Backyard Demonstration Orchard can be accessed from Sego Lily Drive (725 South) off of 50 West in Kaysville.

Otley students have created an artistic 'Tour de Force' ahead of Le Grand Depart.
The Year 9 pupils at Prince Henry's Grammar School used willow, chicken wire and bicycles to produce their Tour de France inspired sculpture.
The work was part of the school's Tour de France themed curriculum, across all subjects, in the run-up to its annual International Day - which this year is focused on the French-speaking world.
The artwork is on show on the front lawn at Prince Henry's and shows a breakaway group of five cyclists and the movement of the air behind them as they race towards the finish.
Art teacher Natalie Sadler said: "The sculpture is made of transient materials to reflect the fleeting moment of the passing of the peleton – the flowing circles and sweeping curves of the willow show the turbulence of the air as they fly by.
"It is great to have something like the Tour de France to inspire the students and it also gives us the opportunity to teach them about working in different media and styles of art."
The students involved in creating the sculpture were: Tim Frankland, Harry Ford, Peter Goodman, Ellie Bartle, Emily Buttery, Charlotte Rich, Emilia Blackie, Jura Stewart, Rory Deignan, Rosie Clowes, Megan Hey, Eleri Haines, Lily Riley, Lewis Mitchell, Sophie Benn, Ellie Ginn, Catherine Cunningham, Fran Robinson, Rory Deignan, Rosie Clowes, and Emilia Blackie.

About a month ago I posted a couple of options for making your own body wash. Since then I have become a dedicated user of this semi-homemade version using grated Dove bar soap. It has become a fixture in our shower.
As a matter of fact, I think the hubster was becoming a little jealous of my luxurious body wash in the "fancy" container…so I thought I would surprise him with his very own bottle of "manly" body wash. Since I had good luck with the Dove soap…I decided to try the Dove Men+Care Extra Fresh Body and Face Bar. It smells really clean and fresh…and of course…manly! Very important.
I used the exact same recipe for the "Manly Body Wash" as I did for mine, but with one important difference! I didn't GRATE any soap!
I took Paulkelly Brown's word for it who left a comment on Facebook that he never grates bars of soap. He simply melts them in the microwave! He said it works for Fels Naptha bar soap which I use in my laundry soap ….so I wondered if it would work for this. Guess what? It did! Approximately 90 seconds in the microwave in a microwave-safe container and it melts and then begins to bubble up! (Keep an eye on it so it doesn't overflow!)
After that I poured it into the 6 cups of water that I already had heated on the stove. (If you put the melted soap into COLD water…it will just harden up again immediately.)
So here is the slightly modified "recipe".
Semi-Homemade Body Wash
- 6 cups water
- 3 bars of soap
Put water into a pan on the stove and bring to a boil, then turn down to medium heat. Microwave the bars of soap one at a time for approximately 90 seconds in a microwave-safe container. When melted, immediately transfer to pot of water. Continue stirring occasionally over medium heat until all the soap is dissolved. It might take awhile…but you want to make sure every piece of soap is completely dissolved before you transfer it to containers. I worked on folding laundry while occasionally checking in on the soap soup.
When completely dissolved…transfer to a glass jar or bowl and allow to cool, then pour into a plastic bottle for shower use! It will thicken as it cools and will continue to thicken for about 24 hours. Don't be alarmed. This is perfectly normal. If it gets TOO thick…simply add some water until it's the desired consistency.
For those interested….I will ATTEMPT to do the math (but no heckling allowed if I get it wrong!):
I bought a six pack of the Dove Bars for $6.88.
I used 3 of the bars at a cost of $3.44. This made approximately 48 ounces…or..$1.72 for a 24 oz bottle!
A savings of roughly 75%!!!
AWESOME $AVING$ AND now we both have our very own, "specially formulated", body wash. ;-)
