I left Princeton in good weather and travelled to Springfield, Mo., to fish with two old friends, Glenn Pilger and Dennis Michael. Too bad I didn't know how hot it is down here. They picked me up at 6 a.m., and we headed to Lake Taneycomo to catch some trout.
When we got there, the area we were to fish was really foggy. We headed upstream toward the dam to try our luck. The water coming from the dam is very cold plus the Missouri Department of Natural Resources stocks the lake year round, so we thought we could catch several trout. Well, they seemed to have lockjaw, and after two hours, we still hadn't boated a single trout.
Then the sun came out, and we began to roast. We tried for another hour and still had no luck. We decided that was enough. Other than getting caught up on their lives, our fishing trip was a flop.
I always enjoy this trip because our friendship goes back to the 1970s. They are truly total great sportsmen, and I love their company. We'll try again.
We want to congratulate the program that is getting underway that is teaching 4-H members the proper way to use firearms. They already had one session last week and will continue on this weekend. Other disciplines will include air rifle, rim fire rifle and archery. They are working in conjunction with the local chapter of Pheasants Forever. This is a great program, and I wish them great success.
Local fishermen have met with moderate success on the canal and local ponds. I can't wait to get back and try my luck.

Fewer college students carry credit cards these days from just a year ago, thanks to provisions found in sweeping legislation from 2009 and the rising popularity of debit and prepaid cards.
Just more than a third of students owned a credit card last year, according to a recent joint survey from Sallie Mae and Ipsos Public Affairs. That's down from 40 percent in 2011 and 42 percent in 2010, the first year the survey collected credit card data.
The largest decline in credit card ownership was among sophomores. In 2010 and 2011, just more than 40 percent of sophomores reported carrying a credit card. Last year, only 28 percent had one. Juniors reported a smaller decline, while ownership levels among freshmen and seniors remained relatively flat, at around 20 percent and 60 percent, respectively.
The overall drop comes after the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure, or CARD, Act of 2009, went into effect. The act limited how credit card companies could market their credit card on campus and imposed income restrictions on adult applicants under 21. The goal was to reduce punishing credit card debt among young people.
It appears to be helping. The survey found that the average outstanding credit card balance was $755 in 2012, compared with $842 in 2011. The median balance was $196 compared with $289. There were no comparable figures from 2010's survey.
As students shift away from credit cards, credit card companies are turning to debit and prepaid cards to entice younger consumers, says Bill McCracken, CEO of Atlanta-based consumer research firm Synergistics Research Corp.
"The traditional debit card is being more strongly pushed because there are no restrictions on marketing them," he says. "Its cousin, the prepaid card, is being promoted fairly strongly, too, because issuers can still earn fees off them."
Four out of 5 college students carry debit cards, according to the survey, more than twice as many students who hold a credit card. The survey did not ask about prepaid cards, but major banks such as American Express, Chase and Wells Fargo have introduced a prepaid card in the last two years.
McCracken says debit and prepaid cards appeal to parents and students because they can control how much money is loaded onto the card and prevent students from spending more than they have. However, the downside to debit and prepaid cards is that they don't help to build credit history like credit cards do.
"The CARD Act was written in such a way that it is very difficult to build credit before a student gets out of school," he says. "That's the reality of it."

A film producer whose undercover documentary changed the course of a nation's history will take part in a question-and-answer session when he presents an Ilkley screening of his film.
Ben Rhydding-based Peter A Gordon will present Bloodshot: The Dreams and Nightmares of East Timor, at Ilkley Playhouse on Sunday.
He filmed it in 2011, 20 years after his original documentary recorded a massacre of more than 250 people by Indonesian soldiers.
Mr Gordon led a Yorkshire Television camera team in East Timor in 1991, investigating Indonesia's occupation of the country and its independence movement.
Their work put events in the fledgling south-east Asian country in the international spotlight after cameraman Max Stahl captured footage of the Santa Cruz cemetery massacre by Indonesian soldiers in the capital, Dili, in November 1991.
The documentary, Cold Blood: The Massacre of East Timor, aired on ITV in 1993 and went on to win numerous international awards.
The footage and testimonies of other journalists present caused outrage around the world. Indonesia eventually relinquished control in 1999, following a UN-sponsored agreement.
Mr Gordon returned to a more peaceful East Timor ten years later to film the new documentary, Bloodshot: The Dreams and Nightmares of East Timor, documenting the country and its people since the first documentary.
It was well received in East Timor and Australia. Now he plans to show it at Ilkley Playhouse, followed by an interview session.
The original documentary also had profound effects for those involved in the filming.
Stahl gained the status of a national hero in East Timor while researcher Kirsty Sword went on to marry former guerrilla leader Xanana Gusmao and became his First Lady when he became the country's first president in 2002.
The screening begins at 8pm. Tickets/concessions are £8/£6.
Call the Playhouse on (01943) 609539 between 9.30am and 11.30am or between 1pm and 3pm for details.

U.S. Under-17 MNT vs. El Salvador - Post-Match Quote Sheet
U.S. Under-17 Head Coach John Hackworth
On brining on Carlos Borja in the second half:
"Carlos was huge for us. He came in and settled thing down for us. He did what we do everyday which is just move the ball, play simple soccer, keep it, change the point of attack and that's what we needed right there because we were in a bit of a panic mode. We're deep and we have good players and that's why we went to Carlos right away. He came in and did a fantastic job."
On El Salvador's attack early in the second half:
"We were up 2-0 and it seemed like we were just fighting and fighting to try and survive and get the ball out (of our defensive end). And really what we needed to do was put our foot on it and get a little control of the game."
On the three U.S. goals:
"We thought we'd be able to get the ball wide and made good runs in the box against them and we did. All three goals were something we worked on every single day in practice. I would have liked to finish a couple other crosses that we knocked in and had open looks, but the ball bounced past our feet. Unfortunately, we didn't put those away, but all three goals were what we've worked on. The last goal was the best soccer I think we played all night. We had good possession, one-touch passing, good runs in the box and a good tuck-away."
On the players dealing with the pressure of the first game:
"These kids for the last year-and-a-half have waited for this day and that's an awful lot of pressure. Dealing with it is tough and I think they felt a lot of that pressure, which is why I don't think all they guys relaxed and did what they normally do every day. We'll adjust though."
Defender Ofori Sarkodie
On getting an early goal:
"I think early goals always boost us up. We think we can control the game and we want to get one right away, have high pressure as soon as we can. I think that did a lot for us."
On the team's confidence:
"Our team confidence is looking pretty high right now going into this next game. We're looking to stay sharp, come out early and do the same thing we did today hopefully."
Midfielder Carlos Borja
On coming in and helping settle the game down:
"I just tried to play it simple, which is what I do. It wasn't anything different for me."
On winning the first match of qualifying:
"I think the win is very good for us. It showed how much we want this, but we still have two games left."
Forward Preston Zimmerman
On the three goals:
"We've been working a lot with our front four of me, Jeremy (Hall), David (Avizu) and Ryan (Soroka). We do a lot of pattern plays on goal the past week, getting a lot of repetitions. So when the game comes it is basically the same thing we've been working on and we all make our same runs and try to get on the end of stuff."
On his assist on the first goal:
"I thought he was going to hold it up and turn, but headed it to me and all I could do was flip it to Ryan (Soroka) with a guy on my back. He scored a great goal."
On finally scoring after a number of chances:
"I had a lot of chances, but it was one of those days. I kept telling myself I was going to score and when I saw the cross come in it was actually one of the first times it wasn't a header. I was able to get a foot to it and put it home."
Goalkeeper Bryant Rueckner
On the play of the U.S. defense:
"In the first half we were just trying to get as organized as possible and then from there we got it into the midfield and then to the forwards. (El Salvador) played pretty direct and we did well to shut them down."

That's it. I've had enough. This morning was the final straw. CityCycle and I are breaking up.
For nearly three years Brisbane's bike hire scheme has been my ride into work and my ride back home. I've appreciated the convenience of popping on a bike at a station a short walk down my New Farm street and dropping the bike off out the front of my work place in the CBD. I've also enjoyed the affordability of the scheme, having never had to pay more than a yearly $60 fee to ride the bikes due to the short distance between work and home.
But as of late CityCycle has gotten less and less convenient. I just can't rely on it anymore.
In the past two months I've spent many mornings wandering around the city trying to find a station which isn't full of bikes. One morning I'd walked 25 minutes around the city trying to find an available space, the amusement of workers in the CBD adding to my frustration as they watched me wheel around the big, heavy yellow bikes, increasingly agitated.
Of course there was a station only a block away from my work with many spaces free, but I only found that out the fifth time this had happened to me when I called a CityCycle operator. This time I was late enough for work, having roamed the streets looking for a park, that I could call the CityCycle call centre, which only opens at 8.30am. Not so convenient a time for morning commuters.
I was told that there were spaces for bikes that morning but they filled up quickly because of other users dropping off their bikes. Which is strange since I'm usually the only person I see riding a CityCycle most mornings.
I've endured problems such as this with good grace in the past. I deal with the frustration of most of the bells not working by giving pedestrians a wide a berth as possible and I've dealt with the annoyance of having to unhook and rehook free yellow bike helmets which I never use because I had to buy my own helmet when the program started.
This morning, though, was too much.
I walked down Sydney Street and up Brunswick Street and all five CityCycle stations I went to were not working. I simply couldn't get a bike.
In the past I'd experience a couple of stations being down and managed to find a working station in a short walk. But not this time.
The final indignity was boarding a Brunswick Street bus, with my helmet and gloves still on, and finding out my Go Card had "expired."
Before I could unleash my inner Peter Finch and yell out a "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!" the bus driver waved me on sympathetically. Maybe that's the kind of human element the scheme is lacking.
The individual problems with the CityCycle scheme aren't unmanageable. And I realise long distance commuters encounter much more costly problems with our public transport system each week. But each CityCycle failure adds up. It's got to the stage where I head off to work thinking "what is going to be the issue today?"
My loyalty to the program has stretched too thin.
I'm just going to lay down the money for my own bike.
I guess in that sense CityCycle has been a success.

Not to hijack this thread, but I'm going to anyway. I'm headed to Seattle in August to meet up with a friend and head for the mountains, but was considering surfing while I'm out there. He said that locals can be a bit territorial out that way, though he doesn't surf...just picked it up through hearsay. Any surfers out there care to lay out what it's like out there culture-wise?
I'm an intermediate surfer and am of course respectful in any line up, particularly if I'm the stranger in the bunch.

Houston homers can't offset Lyles' start vs. Texas
Castro, Carter, Barnes go deep; hurler allows eight runs through four
HOUSTON -- Astros manager Bo Porter praised his team's competitiveness Sunday morning when discussing the first two games of the series against the Rangers, a pair of close losses. The finale was anything but competitive.
Starting pitcher Jordan Lyles didn't give the Astros much of a chance, surrendering eight runs and 11 hits in four innings as the Rangers put the finishing touches on a three-game sweep with a 12-7 win in the series finale at Minute Maid Park.
The Astros went 2-8 on their longest homestand of the season to fall to 10-28.
"We didn't play well enough to win, and when you don't play well enough to win, you have to figure out, 'OK, how can we play better?'" Porter said. "The games that are more gut-wrenching are when you play well enough to win and you don't get that one break point that gets you over the hump."
Lyles, making his third start since returning from Triple-A Oklahoma City, gave up four runs in the third inning, including a two-run homer by David Murphy, and three more in the fourth before being pulled from the game in favor of Edgar Gonzalez, who joined the club Sunday after Philip Humber was cut loose.
"He just didn't have his fastball command," Porter said. "Against a ballclub like the Rangers -- they're a good-hitting team anyway -- you fall behind in the count and you put fastballs in the zone, they're going to do pretty much what they did today."
It was a step back for Lyles (1-1), who had given up 10 hits and five runs in 10 innings in his first two starts since getting called up.
"Didn't go as planned," Lyles said. "I wasn't throwing the ball over the plate. Missing by a little bit, missing by a lot. They hit me around pretty good and then I walked some guys and then they hit me around some more. Overall, I've got to do a better job not letting the bullpen throw that many innings. The loss today is definitely on my shoulders, and I definitely have to do a better job of competing."
Lyles said he had no command of his breaking stuff.
"I think I maybe threw three or four offspeed pitches in the strike zone," he said. "My curveball was horrific today. Maybe I can bounce back from this and get on a little run, but secondary pitches today ... I definitely need to turn that around next outing. "
Porter said it comes down to experience for the 22-year-old Lyles, as well as learning to trust his stuff. Sunday marked his 43rd big league start.
"There's a lot of guys who have the stuff, but if you don't trust your stuff, that's a different story," Porter said.
Texas scored four more times in the fifth against Gonzalez to take a 12-1 lead, including a leadoff homer by Leonys Martin and a three-run blast by Adrian Beltre. The Rangers hit nine home runs in the series -- three in each game -- after hitting just 14 in their first 19 road games this season.
"No matter who we're playing, we're trying to win," Beltre said. "The Astros may not be playing the best ball, but they got guys over there who want to win. We had to come here and produce and we did. It's always nice to sweep, whether it's the Astros, Angels or Oakland. It's not easy just because it's the Astros."
Rangers starter Nick Tepesch (3-3) allowed one run and four hits and struck out eight batters in six innings. The only run he allowed came in the fourth, when Astros catcher Jason Castro hit a line-drive home run just over the right-field wall.
The Astros, who trailed 8-3 in the eighth inning Saturday before putting the go-ahead run on base in the ninth, watched their bats come alive again late in the game. They scored four in the eighth against Derek Lowe, including a three-run homer by Chris Carter, and added a two-run homer by Brandon Barnes in the ninth.
"It's hard to battle back when you get down 10 runs and you're late in the game and you just try to do what you can to score a run here and there," Carter said. "We ended up scoring six late in the game, but it wasn't enough."
Gonzalez actually settled down and threw three scoreless innings after the rocky fifth, but the hole was too deep.
"There's some days where the other team scores two runs and we don't score any for our pitchers," Barnes said. "That's just how the game rolls, and we're starting to swing the bats a lot better lately, it's showing."

If you don't have any cream of tartar, do you have a subtitution?ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Lizzy, I hope this helps: As a leavening agent - replace the baking soda and the cream of tartar in the recipe with baking powder. One teaspoon of baking powder replaces 1/3 tsp of baking soda and 2/3 tsp cream of tartarDelete
In the write up, it's noted to bake at 375. The recipe lists 350. Which temperature is correct?ReplyDeleteReplies
Sorry for the confusion. The correct temp is 350. I have made the correction.Delete

PHILADELPHIA - Three-time All-Ivy offensive lineman, Greg Van Roten, W'12, signed with the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks on Feb. 14. The former University of Pennsylvania football standout won two Ivy League championships (2009, 2010) with the Quakers and spent the last two seasons with the Green Bay Packers.
Van Roten was an undrafted free agent when he signed with the Green Bay Packers shortly after graduation. The Rockville Center, N.Y., native played in 13 games for the Packers, including three playoff appearances before suffereing a season-ending foot injury at the start of the 2013 campaign. He was signed by the Seahawks just three days after his release from the Packers.
The 2011 unanimous first-team All-Ivy selection was forced to switch between the tackle and guard position midway through his senior season due to injuries along the line, but due to his versatility, Penn's offense did not miss a beat. Quarterback Billy Ragone finished with the fifth-best individual offensive season in program history (2,284 yards of total offense).
Van Roten, who was also an All-Ivy honoree as a sophomore (honorable mention) and junior (first team), anchored the top rushing and scoring offense in the Ivy League in 2010. That year, the Quakers finished with the sixth-best rushing attack in the FCS and the second-best rushing season in program history.
Van Roten and the 2011 Penn seniors finished their careers with a 28-12 record overall, including a 23-5 mark against the Ivy League. They won two Ivy League titles, were just the third team to ever put together back-to-back undefeated Ivy seasons, and won 18 consecutive Ivy League games - the second-longest streak in league history.

I have some great news for you: Today we've removed the fixed light or dark theme on both the Admin Dashboard and the Editor.
It's important and necessary for you as communities to have your own look and feel. You have all worked really hard to define and make your wikis unique. And one good way to do this is through your own local color theming. So as of this morning, you'll see your Admin Dashboard and Editor pull in your wiki's customized colors.
For those of you who are new on the scene, here's some background: earlier this year we rolled out the Wikia Editor and the Admin Dashboard. Both of these features had a universal color theme (Admin Dashboard having both light and dark theming depending on the color of your wiki) which separated them as tool spaces from the rest of your wiki experience rather than pulling in the local theme customization. We originally did this because we thought this was an important visual distinction from the rest of your wiki for you as editors and admins.
So, why the change? Basically, the universal theming just wasn't working for you (or us, to be honest). We know our contributors wanted a seamless theme experience across all sections of their wikis — not just the content areas.
We understand and realize that the benefits of this customization for you and your community are vital. You didn't like it. You told us why. And we agreed.
Enjoy your new/old digs!

FANS of Downton Abbey do not have much longer to wait.
The all-conquering costume drama, which was inspired by – and is partially filmed at - Highclere Castle, returns to television screens in September.
Last year's run launched with the show's highest-ever viewing figures, reaching an audience of 12 million people, a figure which consolidated to 11.9 million across the run.
Downton Abbey also hit a record high in America, where season four achieved an average of 15 million viewers on PBS' Masterpiece channel.
It has also recently been nominated for 12 Emmys, cementing its position as the most nominated British television drama in Emmy history with a total of 52 nominations.
Series five was recently launched in central London, where the key production staff and some of the stars of the show gathered to tease what's coming up in the eight episodes of the season.
Carson and Mrs Hughes
There will also be the usual feature-length episode at Christmas 2014. New stars joining the cast for individual episodes or longer story arcs include Richard E Grant as Simon Bricker, Sue Johnston as Gladys Denker, Anna Chancellor as Lady Anstruther and Dame Harriet Walter as Lady Shackleton.
Although much of what is in store must remain a secret, executive producers Gareth Neame and Liz Trubridge, joined by stars Allen Leech (Branson) and Joanne Froggatt (Anna Bates) were able to drop some hints about what's coming up.
Why did you decide to set series five in 1924?
Gareth: Every single year of the twentieth century, something happened of interest. The show has always been about the dying of the light, the end of this era, the aristocracy, the country house. It was inevitable we would use the first ever socialist government – it is a direct threat to this way of life.
But we've always wanted to show that these characters are more like us than they are different; the experiences they go through are very similar.
How did you decide which big names would join the cast?
Liz: Gareth, Julian (Fellowes, the show's creator and writer) and I are involved with the casting process all the way through. We have lots of actors who say 'I'd love to be in Downton' but we won't be led by that. It's got to be organic in the story. We've created a very well-established world. We have rules and regulations within that. Anyone new coming in, our historical advisor Alistair Bruce advises them.
[Richard E Grant, pictured below with Elizabeth McGovern as Lady Cora] plays Simon Bricker, an art historian and we know that Downton Abbey has some beautiful paintings in it. He stays for a few episodes.
We are very lucky. We can attract incredible actors to come and play guest roles. Julian has a great skill in economy of writing. He writes very exciting stories in a short time.
Gareth: As a show about a family, the more you get to know them, the more you are compelled by them. I think series 4 was one of the best of the show but in no show do you get everything perfect. If you could go back, you'd always change something. But there's nothing that we have presented that I would change fundamentally.
What's in store for former chauffeur - and former rebel - Branson?
Allen: Other circumstances have placed him this situation and you constantly see the blurring of the lines. For the first time, Branson is getting his footing and getting to see change from the inside out. He has to decide what kind of man he wants to be and what kind of father he wants to be for his daughter. I think he's such a changed man, it would be impossible for him to go back.
He's changed his outlook. He was a bit of a firebrand but he's now more educated than he was.
Anna had a very dramatic season four, most notably the shocking rape storyline. Are happier times ahead for Anna and Bates?
Joanne: The reaction from people on the street was all positive. It was all in support of the storyline and everyone's work. I felt very honoured to receive letters from women who'd been through similar experiences. That was very touching, that these women felt able to be candid with me. It was a very moving experience for me.
I don't think that Anna thinks that Bates is a serial killer! I'd like a little mix; there are moments of happiness and positivity but it's not going to be an easy journey.
You want your character to be as believable as they can be. [Lady Mary and Anna] have become real confidantes and look after each other. That's a relationship which crosses those boundaries and that's what makes it an interesting friendship.
Are there any big shocks in store?
Gareth: We always try to have one of those right angle moments you don't see coming, so we certainly hope so.
Episode one of series five ends with a very dramatic fire at Downton Abbey. How was that achieved without causing damage to Highclere?
Liz: You can't have smoke because of the very nature of a stately home. Our designer rebuilt the galleries on the stages at the studio and we built a room we could burn at Ealing. We had to do it sequentially.
How did Allen manage with his new co-star, little Fifi Hart, who plays his daughter Miss Sybil Branson and the twins Oliver and Zac Barker, who play Master George Crawley?
Allen: I became known as the whisperer, the dragon man and fire starter. If they were really good in takes, to entertain them we'd go in search of the dragons, because there are lots of dragon effigies around the grounds.
All of the fires we have on set are controlled by our special effects team so they would make them very high and very low, and I would pretend to control them with my hand. So basically, I turned them into fantasy-loving pyromaniacs.
Are fans assured of a sixth series?
Gareth: We think season 5 is a really fantastic season. We hope to be back next year but we work one year to the next. We'll see!
Downton Abbey returns to ITV1 in September.

Shore Residents Get First Look At Sandy's Damage [VIDEO/AUDIO]
More residents and property owners along New Jersey's barrier islands in Ocean County were allowed to return to their homes two weeks since Sandy hit, and what they found, was utter devastation.
Flooded homes, wrecked furniture, pictures scattered everywhere, muddy, wet floors.
Those are some of the things that greeted residents in Ortley Beach and Lavallette as they were allowed to see their homes for the first time since the storm.
"Awful, it just looks like bombs went off everywhere, everyone's got all their personal belongings piled in the street, its devastating," said Loretta from Ortley Beach.
"The ocean was in her condo, I mean this was her life, she's 71 years old next week and everything is gone, I just feel so bad for my mother," said Dina, through tears, as she talked about her mother's loss as well as her own. "My place is gone too, we are both homeless, I am staying with friends in Virginia, it's terrible."
"The mud was all over the house, my washer and dryer were flipped over, furniture ruined, and the smell, you just don't even know what you're walking through, people were hugging each other and crying, it was just the saddest scene," said another resident.
Residents boarded school buses in the morning and were allowed a few hours on the island to clean up and gather their belongings, each allowed a small bag or suitcase to bring back. Many left those bags nearly as empty as they were when they first arrived.
"I grabbed some clothes, not much," said Fran, an Ortley Beach resident.
"I got an old picture that my mother-in-law gave me, but nothing else was salvageable," said Gary from Lavallette.
"It's all gone, everything, everything is ruined," said Dina.
Still, some held out hope of rebuilding.
"People are strong and resilient and we will hang in there and rebuild this together."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/8/2014 (1112 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
They stood in the centre of the ring and traded punch after punch with the champs, bruising them, hurting them occasionally, but — alas — never putting them on the canvas.
And so these upstart Winnipeg Blue Bombers learned a valuable lesson in Thursday's 23-17 loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders in front of a sellout crowd of 33,234 at Investors Group Field:
Never, ever let your guard down... even for just a second.
The Riders weren't perfect Thursday, but they were when it mattered, gobbling up six Bomber turnovers and parlaying them into 19 points. The mistakes — three Drew Willy interceptions, fumbles by the Bomber QB and Demond Washington on a kickoff return and a turnover on downs on the game's last play — were especially costly and spoiled a solid effort by Winnipeg's defensive dozen.
The result makes the ultra-competitive West Division that much tighter, as the Riders improve to 4-2 — just two points behind the Bombers, now 5-2.
Winnipeg led 10-3 late in the third quarter and, backed by the work of Gary Etcheverry's defence, had the Riders completely flummoxed. But here's where good ol' Mo switched sides:
On second and 10 from their 28, Willy was sacked by Tearrius George and fumbled. The mistake was scooped up by defensive end David Lee, who then rumbled 13 yards for a touchdown that pulled the Riders back in a game the Bombers had been owning.
❚ To compound things, on the ensuing kickoff Demond Washington was stripped of the ball by Paul Woldu and it was recovered by Chaz Schillens. And while the Bomber defence stiffened, Chris Milo's 10-yard field goal early in the fourth put the Riders ahead 13-10.
Willy, who will need a team of massueses to deal with all the bumps and bruises after this one, rallied to pump some life back into the Bombers by connecting with Clarence Denmark for a 58-yard bomb that set up a five-yard strike to Rory Kohlert that put the home side ahead 17-16.
But just as the south side of Winnipeg was coming alive, the moment was short-lived. Backed up deep in their own end, Willy was read perfectly by Riders cornerback Terrell Maze, who jumped a pass route to intercept the Bomber pivot and return it 28 yards for the decisive score.
It wasn't the only mistake the Bombers QB made on the night, but it certainly was the biggest.
The Bombers, to a man, have spit out the same mantra since Day 1 of training camp: The only opinions that matter come from within their walls. Fair enough. But it's clear respect is hard-earned when a team is coming off a 3-15 season that featured enough sideshows to make Ringling Bros. green with envy.
Maybe that was part of the Riders' motivation when, during the pre-game festivities, they camped out at the 40-yard line during the Bomber introduction and began dancing and jawing at the home side. They are the defending champs, after all, and they wanted the Bombers to be reminded of that. Not surprisingly, that tactic had an already-amped up Bomber squad foaming at the mouth as the officials had step in to prevent a melee that would have come straight from the script of Slapshot.
In the end, it had no impact on the outcome, of course,
But if the Bombers hadn't earned the respect of the champs before the game, they most certainly had it after.
Finally, this: As mistake-filled as the night was, it left everyone in the park — and likely those watching on TV — wanting more. Circle Aug. 31 and Sept. 7 on your calendar, football fans. The Labour Day Classic and Banjo Bowl just got a whole lot more interesting.

Public Reefing Program, Offshore Aquaculture Regs Move Forward
AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission Nov. 2 adopted new rules that pave the way for a public reefing program in the state's nearshore waters. In a separate action, the Commission voted to adopt regulations governing offshore aquaculture.
The new rules concerning artificial reefs establish a mechanism to govern the deployment of artificial reef materials in coastal waters by private individuals or entities. The changes give TPWD the authority to inspect and approve the artificial reef materials prior to them being placed at an approved TPWD location.
Public reefing sites will be located in state waters less than 60-feet deep near each of the navigable Gulf passes. Each site will be 160 acres in size and divided into blocks approximately 260ft by 260ft. The center of the reef site will be marked by a 10-ft yellow spar buoy chained to an anchor. The public will be assigned an individual block to reef their materials.
"The purpose of this program is to increase marine habitat in the Gulf of Mexico through the creation of nearshore reefs and thereby enhance fishing and some diving opportunities," said Dale Shively, TPWD's Artificial Reefing Program coordinator. "We're going to develop reef sites that are closer to shore and will accommodate more small boat anglers."
The artificial reef program will continue the efforts to get larger materials suitable for reefing in these nearshore areas as well as efforts for larger structure offshore. This new initiative allows for more local coastal involvement in the program.
The new rules concerning offshore aquaculture provide a process for obtaining a permit to conduct offshore aquaculture in Texas state waters, while ensuring protection of Texas coastal waters and native stocks. The new rules will establish a $1,500 licensing fee for each offshore aquaculture permit and procedures that the permitee must follow in order to maintain the permit. These procedures include requirements which will ensure the genetic integrity and protection of wild stocks in Texas waters and other requirements regarding the facilities and the introduction and removal of aquatic organisms in those facilities. .
Offshore aquaculture, a growing concern in some parts of the world, is relatively new to the Gulf of Mexico.
"We are trying to get ahead of the curve for two reasons," said Larry McKinney, Ph.D., director of TPWD's Coastal Fisheries division. "We see this coming on the horizon as a new development in the Gulf and we want to lay out a regulatory model that businesses can follow. Within that model, our primary goal is to protect our native fish stocks."
The new regulations for both programs go into effect 20 days after publication in the Texas Register.

Now in its third year, the show's Social Media Preview will be more accessible to a broader audience and boasts a robust schedule of events that cater to social-media savvy influencers. For the past two years, manufacturers, exhibitors and media outlets have taken advantage of the second day of the media preview to host press and marketing events geared directly toward the buying public - particularly those active in the social media space. Last year Toyota announced its 100 Cars for Good program and Nissan unleashed the refreshed 2013 370Z. That tradition will continue as exhibitors are again welcome - and encouraged - to invite up to 300 of their followers, influencers and advocates to attend their program or event at #SMP13. This year, show organizers have added structured events to the day including the Word of Mouth Marketing Association (WOMMA) Driving Engagement Awards, Technori Pitch and automotive roundtables hosted by Autoweek, Cars.com and Edmunds. In the past, attendees of the Social Media Preview have included traditional print, broadcast and online media as well as individuals invited by exhibitors. This year, the Chicago Auto Show is working with Groupon to identify influential social media advocates. Though the #SPM13 is not open to the public, Groupon will offer an exclusive ticket to this select group of digital-savvy influencers in the Chicago area. "Chicago Auto Show exhibitors see great value in our Social Media Preview," said Michael Ettleson, Chicago Auto Show chairman. "We have evolved the event to meet our exhibitors' needs to connect with their digital followers and we've added structure to better define the day. This year, with all of our enhancements we expect the refreshed #SMP13 to double in attendance." Driving Engagement Awards Presented by WOMMA The morning will open with the WOMMA Driving Engagement Awards presentation, where the Chicago Auto Show and WOMMA will collectively highlight one automotive manufacturer that conducted the most innovative social media campaign in 2012. The second award will be presented to one individual who best leverages social media throughout the day. To enter a social media campaign for the WOMMA "Driving Engagement Awards," visit chicagoautoshow.com/womma.aspx. Technori Pitch Event Technori Pitch comes to the Social Media Preview, where four local Chicago startup companies will pitch their latest innovation in front of the #SMP13 audience. The event will open with a keynote from Howard Tullman, founder of Tribeca Flashpoint Academy, a premier digital arts college and venture with Robert DeNiro's Tribeca Enterprises. The four startup companies scheduled to present include: parking convenience pioneers, SpotHero and FasPark; auto repair estimate app Body Shop Bids; and budgeting tool Motozuma.com. Following each presentation, the startups will be on the hot seat for a three-minute Q-and-A formatted session where the audience may submit questions directly from their mobile devices. For more information about Technori Pitch at the Chicago Auto Show, visit chicagoautoshow.com/technori.aspx. Automotive-related Roundtables #SMP13 will play host to three automotive roundtable discussions, each presented by a well-respected automotive media outlet. These discussions will focus on current automotive trends or issues and feature some of the industry's top executives and experts. Autoweek's associate publisher and editorial director, Dutch Mandel, will host "Everything Is The Message - Media Are How We Get There." The panel will include David Armano, managing director, Edelman Digital, Chicago; Scott Monty, global head of social media, Ford Motor Company, Dearborn; and Simon Sproule, CVP, Nissan Marketing Communications, Tokyo. Bill Visnic, senior editor from Edmunds, will host the second discussion entitled "The Driverless Car: How Do We Get There From Here." Confirmed guests include head of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems Business Unit, NAFTA for Continental Automotive, Christian Schumacher and Nady Boules, the director of GM R&D's Electrical and Controls Integration Research Lab. Cars.com managing editor Dave Thomas will host "Social Meets Mobile: How the Smartphone Revolution is impacting automotive publishing." This panel will discuss how mobile is changing the car-buying process. Car shoppers and enthusiasts alike are using smartphones and other mobile devices as a routine part of the research and buying process for new cars. Back to News

Then you must ask how many 'I Am's', are there? And how many Awareness' are there? If you are honest, you will verify or rather self-verify that there is only one. Your own.
Give this careful consideration! As the implications are staggering……

On the question of private property, uncertainty arises.

The point of mathematics is that we're often not answering today's questions, but rather the questions of the future.
When Peter McNamara was a teenager, he represented Ireland at the International Mathematical Olympiad in Toronto. Since joining the Bucknell faculty in 2006, he has brought the same enthusiasm that drew him into mathematics competitions to his students and the surrounding community.
"I initiated a half-credit course that teaches the techniques common in these contests, culminating in the Putnam Competition every December," says McNamara. Bucknell students have enjoyed some great success in recent years in international contests, with top-10 finishes in the prestigious Putnam Competition in 2004 and the Mathematical Contest in Modeling in 2010.
McNamara has also helped organize a Bucknell mathematics department contest for high school students: The John Steiner Gold Mathematical Competition, which attracts 150-200 students from schools as much as 100 miles away. As McNamara emphasizes, "By inviting these students to campus, we not only offer an introduction to Bucknell and a chance to tackle some very challenging problems, but we also show the participants that they have many peers who also find mathematics fun."
McNamara's early experiences in competitive mathematics have also inspired his research. He primarily studies combinatorics, an area of mathematics that appears frequently in contest problems. Combinatorics considers objects like permutations, combinations, probabilities and counting problems, and is often defined as the study of finite sets. McNamara focuses on algebraic combinatorics, explaining, "My goal is to use tools from combinatorics to answer questions from other areas of mathematics, such as algebra, topology and geometry."
Refuting the often-held perceptions that the practice of mathematical research is impractical and esoteric, McNamara draws pragmatic connections between mathematics research and real-world use. Referencing G. H. Hardy's classic essay A Mathematician's Apology (1940), McNamara says, "Hardy offers a brief discussion of the 'supreme uselessness' of the field of number theory. However, today we depend on number theory to encrypt billions of web transactions, including our Internet banking and credit card purchases. The point of mathematics is that we're often not answering today's questions, but rather the questions of the future."

Boutonnieres often coordinate with your summer bouquets, but shouldn't be overly feminine. The boutonniere's history dates back centuries–originally deemed as the "buttonhole flower" by the French. Men used to wear one daily on their frock coats. Except, your soon-to-be husband most likely hasn't worn one since high school prom, so let him choose between these options:
1. Daisy
Choose contrasting colors such as white and yellow.

Idylls of the Rat King is a d20 Dungeon Crawl Classics adventure written for Dungeons & Dragons by Jeffery Quinn. For character levels 1-3, DCC #1 pits PCs against a wererat king and his wicked minions. As of 2006, Idylls of the Rat King has been reprinted three times. The 3rd printing features the art of classic TSR artist, Jim Holloway.
In Idylls of the Rat King, goblin bandits have taken up residence in an abandoned mine northwest of Silverton. Someone must get rid of them. But this is no ordinary abandoned mine. It was deliberately barricaded generations ago when the Gannu family, founders of Silverton, discovered an unspeakable evil on its lowest levels. And these are no ordinary goblins, for the curse of the Gannu family courses through their veins.
DCC #1 received an Honorable Mention for Best Adventure, ENnies 2003.[1]

21 Throwback Pictures of Hollywood Couples on the Oscars Red Carpet
There's strategy that goes into winning an Oscar: whittle yourself to glass-cutting cheekbone weight, swap the seven-figure salary for a production assistant's, be Meryl Streep. On the flip side, there's also Academy Awards strategy for the mere mortals too, those of us whose Oscar parties involve red wine, six friends, and Orville Redenbacher, not red carpets, J.Law, and mani cams. For us, winning the Oscars means winning the Oscars parties, which is all about having something to add to the witty banter (or, if you're watching solo, to Twitter.) To help with that, we've rounded up a game plan for sounding smart during Sunday's show— even if you haven't seen a single nominated movie. (Which, according to a Reuters poll, just means you'd join 67 percent of the country.)
The Obvious Comment: "Meryl Streep's been nominated for an Oscar so many times—eighteen, to be exact!" (Sounds specific and knowledgeable, but no doubt your friend will have just slyly Googled the stat from their coat pocket.)
The Smart-Sounding Follow-Up: "Crazier still, composer John Williams just got his 49th Oscars nomination. FORTY NINE."

What Would Debbie Do?
About to Declare Bankruptcy
Dear Debbie,
I am a 58 year old woman, and I have owned my own business for nine years now. I am close to bankruptcy and the economy has just killed my business. My question is, what am I going to do now? I am so sad and scared. Will anyone give me a job at my age? I have a lot of experience from the past, but I'm still older. I feel so lost, please help!
-In Need of Guidance
Dear In Need,
I can only imagine the anxiety you are feeling. Having your own business requires more hard work and dedication than working for a company. You pour your heart and soul into it, and to end up at this place is so defeating. But here's what I recommend: First of all, speak with a Bankruptcy Attorney to ascertain your options. Perhaps a consultation can give you some insight into possible options to keep your business alive. But if your business does indeed succumb to the plight we all seem to be experiencing, then begin looking at companies, like yours, that you could take your significant talents to, and see if you can parlay your experience into a job with a bigger company, with deeper pockets.
I know it seems daunting, particularly at your age, but there's always a solution, if you look for it. I wish you the best of luck. And don't forget to surround yourself with people who love, support and encourage you in positive ways. That's what I would do.

HOUSTON - A Houston minister is making national headlines for a letter millions are reading online.
The pastor blasted lingerie giant, Victoria's Secret.
Rev. Evan Dolive of Bethany Christian Church said he wrote the letter not as a minister but rather as the father of a three-year-old daughter.
"If you look at what's being sold and what's being marketed, it is being marketed to a younger clientele like college age, even high school age," said Dolive.
Dolive said he read that the company was launching a line of underwear and bras aimed at middle school children called "Bright Young Things" featuring underwear that reads, "Wild, feeling lucky and call me."
The minister said the company's PINK advertising campaign is after young girls.
Dolive said that made him sick, so he wrote a letter to Victoria's Secret and posted it on his website and Facebook.
Within about five days, more than 3 million people had read it online.
"I never expected to get three million hits on anything. Especially just a letter voicing my concern for my daughter," said Dolive.
Victoria's Secret issued a statement reading:
"In response to questions we recently received, Victoria's Secret PINK is a brand for college-aged women. Despite recent rumors, we have no plans to introduce a collection for younger women. 'Bright Young Things' was a slogan used in conjunction with the college spring break tradition."
According to Dolive, the company is sending the wrong message.
"Girls are not sex objects and that they can have self-worth and self-esteem just the way they are, and nothing that you wear defines who you are," Dolive said.
Dolive added the fact that the company used Justin Bieber when releasing its new product line shows that it targets a young audience.

Nothing would suit the Bengals more than walking off with the AFC North by sweeping the season series with the Steelers. Indeed, even if Pittsburgh wins this one, its chances of surpassing Cincinnati are not strong.
The Steelers have won their last eight games in December and their offense is on fire: 30 points in four straight games for the first time in club history. They could meet their match, though, because the Bengals have allowed the fewest points in the league with 196.
The Bengals are trying to get a favorable seed and a first-round bye that would leave them in better position to get their first playoff victory since the 1990 season. It's the sixth-longest streak of postseason futility in NFL history.
Even the players who normally talk about taking everything one game at a time sense the bigger picture of what's at stake. The first step is clinching the division.

Question About Low Fire

Marilyn: Try it - it might be good. Often in raku work cone 6 clay is used but firings reach cone 05 at the highest. You can't make pots or dishes that go through the dishwasher this way but sculptural work, why not?
h a n s e n
Thank you. I've done racu. It was one of the class projects when I took a ceramics class this last semester. And you are right, its not like the sculptures are going to be put in the dishwasher. They just need to be stable enough to wipe with a damp cloth and handled.
Posted 20 June 2010 - 03:32 PM
Posted 26 June 2010 - 02:34 PM
Marilyn: you might want to try a low fire earthenware sculpture clay. It's made for that temperature and most people find it far easier to sculpt with than porcelain. Then you know the clay is maturing at that temp. and it's a good fit for low fire commercial glazes, too.
Thank You Lucy, my professor mentioned that there was a low fire clay but for some reason he wanted me to try porcelain, perhaps because of the color factor or perhaps because he had extra and just wanted some sap like me to buy it and get it out of inventory. My sculptures are detailed and small yet heavy because I have not yet learned good methods for carving out the inside. I am finding it impossible with porcelain to make anything of very big size because everything collapses in on itself. I am tenaciously trying to create with the porcelain I have left though. My husband is going to make me a roller so that I can hand build some functional pieces. I enjoy creating both non utilitarian sculptual forms as well as functional forms. But I seem to have more of a nack for taking my drawings and putting them in sculptural form.
Posted 28 June 2010 - 02:54 PM
have fun and good luck!
Posted 13 July 2010 - 09:58 AM
I have a very small keln. My ceramic art instructor told me that all ceramics needed to be high fired to make them more durable. I like low fire commercial glazes because of all the color options and the predictability of the glazes as opposed to self mixed glazes. However, my kiln is a small low fire one. I use porcelain clay to do sculptures. If I bisque fire my sculptures then low fire glaze them will they be structurally sound and have adequate permanency? Or, do I need to do a second high fire using self mixed glazes? Is it really necessary to high fire ceramics or are there low fire methods that result in the same structural permanency?
Thank You and have a good day!
In a later post you say you are working with porcelain. You could make paper clay from the porcelain scrap by soaking it, adding paper pulp, and drying it to a workable consistency. This will help with the hand building with porcelain problems you are having. Also, when firing paper clay, you should fire a cone higher than you would without the paper pulp.
As for making your low fire clay strong, you need to fire it to the point of maturity. Contact the manuacturer to find out what that is. If you are mixing your own clay, do absorption tests. Google for directions.

A recent report from the United States Preventative Service Task Force (USPSTF) contradicts years of thinking about breast cancer screening and prevention.
For years the American Cancer Society (ACS) has recommended yearly mammograms for women aged 40 and over. The ACS also promotes the use of breast-self exams by women in their 20s.
However, the latest federal guidelines as outlined by the USPSTF recommend biennial mammograms for women aged 50 and over and discourages the use of breast-self exams as a preventative tool. View the full summary of recommendations on the USPSTF website.
These changes have created confusion for many women who were councelled for years to follow the ACS version of these breast health guidelines.

Six Degrees of Separation
In a Fifth Avenue apartment high above Central Park, a weathy art dealer and his wife are trying to interest a moneyed friend in a $2 million investment when an unexpected young guest arrives - and changes their lives forever. Veering effortlessly from hilarity to pathos, this dazzling play was lauded by The New York Times as "transcendent, magical, and a masterwork." Performed by a full cast starring Alan Alda, Swoosie Kurtz, and Chuma Hunter-Gault.
Agnes of God
In this contemporary murder mystery, set within the confines of a convent, Agnes is a devout, innocent young nun accused of infanticide. As a psychiatrist - herself a lapsed Catholic - and the Mother Superior struggle over Agnes' fate, the play plunges deeply into the mystery of faith and the consequence of truth.
True West
Pulitzer Prize-winner Sam Shepard's classic comedy is a story of estranged brothers Austin and Lee. Shepard compares and contrasts the reality of the two brothers by forcing them to come to terms with each other, with themselves, and with family.
"Fantastic series"
This was my first listen to the LA Theatre Works series, and I was pretty reluctant to use up two of my precious subscriber credits on one download. However, it was completely worth it, and I plan to download more in the series.
I usually listen to novels, and this was a completely different experience -- much more like the actual theater than an audiobook. I was really surprised by how engrossed I was in these performances. Although a certificable audiobook addict, I usually listen to audio books while doing another activity. These, however, would have been enough to keep me completely occupied in their own right.
Wonderful experience, wonderful performances, and one of the few downloads I fully intend to listen to again and again. Bravo!
"Just like being at the theatre!"
Although the cast of "Agnes" is not as strong as the casts of "Six Degrees" and "True West" this is none-the-less an excellent purchase. This production of "Six Degrees" is especially well done. Alan Alda and Swoosie Kurtz are such a treat. All three plays are engaging and thought-provoking. I was hesitant to spend two credits on a single purchase, but it was worth it.
I focus on fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, science, history, politics and read a lot. I try to review everything I read.
"Not my favorite plays, but great nevertheless"
This did not turn out to be my favorite of the LA Theater works compilations, but it was still very good. I have seen and was not a big fan of Six Degrees or Agnes of God and was not familiar with True West, but I got the recording anyway because I had liked the others LA Theatre works recordings so much. I found the performances in Six Degrees a little weak and campy, while the performances in Agnes and True West were great. I ended up really liking True West and being mildly interested in the other two plays. True West has interesting dynamic characters with humor and intensity. Really nicely written. In both Six Degrees and Agnes, I was never really convinced of the reality of the characters (this is due to the writing not the direction or performances) so those two plays don't quite give me what I want out of theater. Nevertheless, like pizza and sex, just about any theater is better than no theater! I have become a (somewhat surprised) enthusiast of theater on Audible. I only wish there were more compilations (instead of the many single plays which are not worth a full credit).
"The Pulitzer plays collections are better"
I'm a huge fan of LA Theatreworks productions. I've you've just stumbled across them, consider yourself lucky: you've discovered one of the true gems of audible. I can't recommend them highly enough. Their acting and production values are stellar. They're incredibly powerful, emotional works. If you can, enjoy them as real quality listening, setting aside some time or perhaps on a long drive instead of on the way to work or on a treadmill or something.
That being said, the two Pulitzer collections are better than this one, which is still good, so start with those.
Report Inappropriate Content
If you find this review inappropriate and think it should be removed from our site, let us know. This report will be reviewed by Audible and we will take appropriate action.

Go out, have fun. If your catching waves and enjoying yourself by yourself it is worth it. Some of my best memories surfing are the days when the skies are steel gray, flurries and small clean surf with no one around.
Small surf cuts down on the ice cream headaches. If you are actively seeking waves and going out whenever its rideable you will be better off when it does get bigger.

Livan Hernandez, (7-7, 5.28 ERA) P
The Mets hope to win the series against the Giants tonight and just their eighth game of the month. They'll have to do without David Wright for the next two weeks. Even though he's with the team and feeling much better, Wright is not due to come off the disabled list until Aug. 31. For now, he'll be a spectator and the Mets' biggest fan as he roots on his teammates.
Hernandez tries to build on the walk-off win yesterday, but he's been pummeled in his last two games, allowing 12 runs in nine total innings. He's got to do a lot better with the Mets down one of their best hitters. Thankfully, Francoeur has picked up the slack.
With the Mets 12 games out in the division and 9.5 out of the Wild Card, they're pretty much just playing not to be embarrassed. Right now, I'd take that.

Janice Dickinson looks decent in a bikini
Janice Dickinson was spotted on a Malibu beach in her bikini looking pretty amazing for a 93-year-old. She is 93 right? 130? I mean, most mummies I see are wrapped in bandages, have purple flesh, and are behind a glass case in a museum. So she's doing pretty okay for herself. Besides, her driver's license photo looks like this. And that's worth an automatic one million bonus points right there.
NOTE: I can't tell if this is her boyfriend, husband, or dad. What I can tell, however, is that he's a Grade A fox.
