You always find the CUTEST dishes. I would have enjoyed cherry pie too, but this was eye candy enough without the calories. Enjoy the weekend Gina!

How cute and creative. Love adding the flour with all things cherries and the rolling pin of your sons. I also ike the little men. Having three boys we sure had our share of those guys around our house. Now it seems the grands have pet shops everywhere.

Girl, we have so much in common. I love anything cherry. I have those same salad plates. I also have that same chalkboard jar. What good taste we have. lol! I put my cherry decor out in July. Planning on decorating the downstairs kitchen area with it when and if we ever finish it. Love, love the rumblers! Cherish these days. They will be gone in no time. Hubs and I use to spend hours at the ball park. Those days are gone. We have 3 older grand sons, but none of them are playing ball. They did when they were younger. Even though my son has custody of them they spend every other weekend with their mother and it's hard to be on a team. Sorry that I am rambling. If you have a chance to come in from the ball park I would love you to share this with my link party!

Gina, I was so busy drooling over the idea of cherry pie, and remembering my son's little rolling pin (it looked just like that one), and thinking how wonderful those dragonflies are, that I didn't even notice the wrestlers! Good thing they weren't some evil force sneaking up on me because I was distracted by your wonderful cherry idea! Linda

I had to laugh at the wrestler action figures. One of my cousins used to play with those when he was a kid. He had one of those rings or mats or whatever you call what they wrestle on (you can tell I don't watch this I'm sure) and would set his little action figures in all kinds of scenes.
The happy colors and designs of cherries always make me smile, so I loved your table. My favorite part is the cute tray, but everything is very pretty!
Thanks for dropping by Your Cozy Home Party this week!

What a clever and creative tablescape! I laughed, when I saw the toy figures - around my house, we usually encounter my grandson's Lego Star Wars figures lurking in odd places. I still have a small rolling pin that my grandchildren always used to help me bake. Love all of your bargains and that green flatware!

Cute, cute, cute. The only thing missing is the cherry pie which I'd like to have a piece of just now. It is one of those things I like but never make. When you get around to making it, save me a piece.

- Barbara said...
I just love your reds and the cheery cherry tablescape. That little rolling pin is so cute. Why oh, why didn't I save the one we had?? I just smiled and smiled when you showed us the wrestlers. Real life is always good, even in a tablescape! :)

Gina, this looks so great. Love the cherry theme and all your wonderful things you have going with it. The wrestlers are a wonderful touch. My boys are home and they brought cords and plug ins, ipads...etc. You get the picture! Hahaha...I do love an action figure added to the mix though!

When Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio decided he would be called Francis in his new life as Pope, he knew people would understand that his choice was charged with symbolism.
As some of the cardinals present at the conclave have confirmed, the new pontiff's choice is in honour of St Francis of Assisi, who lived and preached in Italy between the end of the 12th and beginning of the 13th century. Francis was the son of a wealthy merchant who abandoned his well-off lifestyle to live in poverty. The monastic order he set up, the "Lesser Friars" (who became known as Franciscans after his death), has absolute poverty as a rule. This applies both individually and to the monastic communities.
St Francis is one of the most venerated figures in the Catholic world thanks to his mysticism and rectitude. Yet no pope had ever dared to pick his name. This is in sharp contrast to the number of times Gregory (16), Leo (13) and Pius (12) have been chosen. Read more

In the endless saga over US fiscal policy, attention has shifted from the closure of some parts of the government (which happened on Tuesday) to the possibility that the Treasury Department will reach the limit of its extraordinary measures to work around the debt ceiling on or around 17 October.
The negotiating tactics of the White House are now clear. They are painting the scenario in which the debt ceiling remains frozen as completely catastrophic, perhaps hoping that market disruptions will increase pressure on the Republicans to waive through the necessary legislation. Markets, however, have so far been reluctant to co-operate. (See this earlier blog.)
In a letter to Congress on 25 September, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew described the ensuing situation as "default by another name", and Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein has said that "there is no precedent for a default".
Investors hate the word "default" but they need to be careful about its exact meaning here. Most observers, including the major investment banks, think it very unlikely that the US would ever choose to default on any payments due on its sovereign debt, even if the debt ceiling is left permanently unchanged after 17 October.
The government could, however, go into arrears on many of its normal payments after that date. This would have serious contractionary effects on the economy, and might lead credit agencies to downgrade their ratings on US sovereign debt. Read more

Western Digital Updates Red NAS Drive Lineup with 4 TB and 2.5" Versionsby Ganesh T S on 9/3/2013 8:00 AM EST

apriest - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - link4 of those 2.5" drives in a Drobo Mini would be a photographer's dream in the field. Reply
spazoid - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkCan we expect a review of the 2.5" versions? Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkNow if only we could get a reasonable mITX NAS enclosure to put them in. IF you only need 1 or 2 drives there're plenty of enclosures just big enough to hold the mobo available; but if you want more drives than that you're stuck with something with enough internal volume to hold a tower style CPU cooler and full size GPU that's only marginally smaller than a compact mATX box. Reply
Dentons - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkIf you want a tiny box for the sole purpose of hosting a NAS, just buy an HP N40L or N54L and install FreeNAS.
No, you can't install your own CPU and motherboard, but this will actually save you money. The HP boxes are often discounted to the $200 range, they include CPU, ECC RAM, PSU and a boot drive. They're far better value for money than building from your own parts. They're more than fast enough to run FreeNAS and easily hold five, 3.5" drives, more in certain configurations.
With RAID Z2 using 4TB drives, these very tiny boxes can hold 12TB of usable storage. All while being far more reliable and recoverable than products like Synology or Drobo. Reply
Guspaz - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkIt looks like both of those boxes support only four hard disks on top of their system drive, so a RAIDZ2 array is going to get you only 8TB of usable space. Besides that, you really shouldn't be running RAIDZ2 without at least six drives. (4+2). Reply
Dentons - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkThe N40L and N54L do have just 4 lower bays, but the unpopulated optical bay easily holds a 5th drive. Installing a 5th drive is so straightforward it doesn't even qualify as a hack.
Some have even installed as many as four additional 2.5" drives in the optical bay. Reply
Guspaz - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkYou can do 6x 2.5" drives in a 5.25" slot if you're willing to accept a 9.5mm height limit per drive, but my point was more that you really need a certain number of drives before raidz2 becomes practical, and that figure is 6ish. There's also the "before-redundancy drive count should be a power of two" thing, although I'm violating that rule myself without issue.
There would seem to be much better options for compact storage machines. The BitFenix Prodigy comes to mind. It can mount six 3.5" drives (including using the optical bay) and still has room for five 2.5" drives elsewhere in the case, which can be used for a mirrored boot plus SSDs for L2ARC/SLOG/etc acceleration. You'd likely need a SATA controller in the graphics slot, though, since few mITX boards would have the eleven SATA ports required to fully populate the thing. Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkThe HP is what I had in mind when I was talking about boxes way bigger than they need to be. It's 21x26x27cm = 14700cc. The chenbro case I used to build my nas is 31 x 20 x 27 = 16700 cc. For comparison, my old mediasmart server was 25 x 25 x14 = 8750 cc.
Other than the full size 5.25 bay, I'm not sure what the HP is doing to use all its space due to a lack of internal pictures; but between using an ATX PSU, having enough vertical room for a tower cooler and installing the drive bays with the long axis front to back and stopping short of the mobo, the case is about 30-40% open space and could be made a few inches smaller front to back and top to bottom. Side to side is constrained by the mobo size; but the other dimensions could have been cut significantly. I know mITX is too large to match my MediaSmart or any of the current generation of dedicated nas boxes; but it could be a lot closer.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8... Reply
bobbozzo - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkThe HP Microservers use a lot of room for the hotswap setup; also there is space for a full-size card (PCIe x16 on my Gen8 server) for RAID5 or NICs or whatever.
I agree that they are quite large, but I'm not sure they could be much smaller.
Mine could be quieter though. Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkThe case I linked to is also hotswap; but barely takes any more room than the standard drive caddies. The only things that the HP appears to have that it doesn't are the 5.25" bay and support for a full height card instead of half and it has loads of room inside.
The NSC-400 mentioned by xkiller213 is a basic 4bay nas case that's only half the size of the HP. As long as you don't need a full size raid card it looks like it's able to do everything of the bigger cases; so there's definitely room to make them smaller. Adding support for a full size expansion card looks like it could be done just by making the case an inch taller so the card could fit in the space above the PSU. Reply
kelly.hendrix - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkI agree with you Dentons Reply
xkiller213 - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkI would use either a Fractal Design Node 304 or a U-NAS NSC-400 or NSC-800 case... The U-NAS cases are quite interesting though, 4 or 8 bay hot swap and it fits a mini ITX mobo... Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkI wish I'd've heard of them a year ago; the NSC-400 appears to be exactly what I was looking for unsuccessfully at the time. Reply
kepstin - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkI managed to pick up a Chenbro ES34169 a while back for my NAS:
Nice little case, with 4 hot-plug SATA bays on a backplane in pretty much the smallest possible space. Main issues are that it's a bit noisy unless you undervolt the fans, and the internal 120W PSU is custom, not a standard form factor.
Unfortunately, it's gotten very hard to find now (I think it may have been discontinued?) Reply
Guspaz - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkToo little, too late. I waited for ages for these things to come out, to upgrade my file server. I eventually gave up, and grabbed seven 4TB Hitachi CoolSpin drives when they were on sale ofr $150. I'd rather have had the Red drives, but 4TB drives hit the market a full two years ago, in 2011. Two years late to market is just silly. Reply
Assimilator87 - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkAre these 1TB/platter and does anyone know the RPM range on the 2.5" Reds? Reply
lurker22 - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkPlatter size on the 4TB? Reply
ganeshts - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkIt is definitely NOT 1 TB platters. I am waiting on info from WD on this. Reply
ganeshts - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkShould be five 800 GB platters.. still awaiting confirmation, though. Reply
glugglug - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkSeriously? The 1-3TB drives use 1TB platters. Why would 4TB use *smaller*?
The weight progression in the specs for the different capacities suggests to me 4 platters. I was hoping the long wait would have brought us a 3x1.33 platter 4TB. Reply
glugglug - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkI think it actually is 3 platters, 1.3TB per platter.
2 things pointing to this:
1. Slight sequential speed boost over 2 and 3TB versions. Speed increases with platter size (assuming rotational speed is kept constant)
2. The specs here: http://www.span.com/product/Western-Digital-Red-WD... show 7,814,037,168 formatted sectors formatted capacity. Which is divisible by 3 and 4, but not 5. Reply
ruzveh - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkWhile 4TB HDD is definitely good to have why dont these companies now directly come out with internal HDD with USB 3.0 or 3.1 ports? We really want to have such HDD in the market where we can have those cheap internal HDD and compatibility and portability of having one cable connection instead of 2 different ones. Really at-least one manufacturer should think on this Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkUmmmm what? For internal use you don't want the extra cost or performance overhead of USB3 slowing everything down; and for external use it's called a USB enclosure. Reply
bernstein - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkum, yeah and on top of that most 2.5" wd external drives are just that. a drive with a usb plug instead of a sata + power one (probably there is a sata-usb chip directly on the drive, but that matters not.... the most annoying thing about this is that you can no longer repurpose external drives for internal use) Reply
glugglug - Tuesday, September 03, 2013 - linkBy most you mean none? I'm glad noone actually makes a USB drive.... sometimes a drive in a USB enclosure is cheaper than the internal version, and the enclosure packaging holds up better to shipping then how some places ship OEM drives... Reply
glugglug - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkActually I just searched for this and you are right - the 2.5" passport line is including a SATA-USB conversion on the board, instead of a SATA connector. WOW, that sucks. Glad I never bought one of those. Reply
jmorey - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkThe article mentions that it is possible to update older Red drives with the new NASware 2.0 firmware. I've not been able to find the new firmware on the WD site.Has anyone else found it? Reply
taltamir - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - link"Fortunately, the firmware on older Red drives can also be upgraded."
Where do I download this updated firmware for me v1 red drives? Reply
ruthan - Friday, September 06, 2013 - linkI would like to see 2,5" HDD bigger than 2 TB. Reply

WINTER PAR, Fla. (March 6, 2012) - After three straight shutouts, the Tars were unable to keep the momentum going as they fell 7-3 to the Rockhurst Hawks Tuesday night at Alfond Stadium.
Rollins gave up a total of 13 hits, the most given up to an opponent this season; the seven runs was also the most an opponent has scored on the Tars. Rollins now falls to 11-5 on the season, while Rockhurst improves to 5-1.
The Tars were led by Steve Betcherman with two hits, while Nick Adams was 1-for-4 with a run scored and Zach Persky 1-for-3 with a double, RBI and a run. Kevin Mager had one hit on the night with a stolen base and Brian Lattanzi registered one hit with a run scored and a walk.
Rollins jumped out to 3-0 lead after three innings of play and kept the Hawks off the scoreboard through five. Lattanzi scored the first run of the night for the Tars in the second frame crossing home plate on a Josh Band grounder to first. In the bottom third, Persky drove in Adams on a bases-clearing double and was then brought in on the sacrifice fly by Sean Reilly.
In the top of the sixth, freshman Brett Mueller gave up a lead-off walk and was replaced on the mound by senior right-hander Garrett Yount. Mueller received the no-decision allowing seven hits and one run. The Tars were able to get out of the inning allowing just one run after committing two errors.
In the top of the seventh, Rockhurst took hold of the lead as they scored five men to take a 6-3 lead. Yount (1-1) was charged with the loss in 1.1 innings of work. He struck out two and allowed no walks while giving up three runs on three hits.
Rockhurst's Josh Samuelson (1-0) earned the win in three innings of work, striking out two and allowing no walks or runs to score. Second baseman Tyler Gans had three hits, two RBIs, a walk and run scored for the Hawks.
The Tars will return to the diamond on Thursday, March 8 in the fourth game of the 64th Annual Rollins College Baseball Week tournament as they play host to the Wayne State Warriors. First pitch is set for 6 p.m. Fans can follow all the action live on the Tars Sports Network at RollinsSports.com.

Wiltshire Council says every town will have to find room for more houses than they expected under changes to the county Core Strategy revealed today.
Consultation has started on the changes made necessary by a Government inspector who told the council in December it must allow 42,000 extra homes rather than the 37,000 it had planned for by 2026.
The modified plan published today identifies increased numbers for each town.
In Trowbridge the number of new homes that will be built will go up from 6,000 to 7,000. The plan allows for strategic growth to the south east of the town at Ashton Park, which extends towards the A350 to the south and the railway line to the west.
An additional 950 homes will then be developed at the town once improved secondary school provision is in place toward the end of the plan period and there has been a further assessment of effects on protected bat species and their habitats to ensure they are properly safeguarded.
In Bradford on Avon the number of new homes will go up from 670 to 780 .
Land has been identified to the east of Bradford on Avon on land at Kingston Farm for strategic growth.
In the wider Bradford area the number of new homes will change from 160 to 185.
In Melksham the number of homes will be increased from 1,930 to 2240.
In Warminster the figure will go from 1,650 to 1,920 and in Westbury from 1,290 to 1,500.
Toby Sturgis, Wiltshire Council's cabinet member for spatial planning, said: "Our vision is to create stronger and more resilient communities and by ensuring we have a robust development plan in place to manage growth – both in terms of housing and economic development – we can achieve this.
"We would like to thank everyone who has responded so far and anyone who is interested in helping us achieve the balance between ensuring our communities grow in a sustainable way while protecting this county's unique identity should look at the document and provide comment.
"We encourage people to get involved as it's community engagement that continues to shape and inform this incredibly important strategy."
Full details of the modifications are available to view at www.wiltshire.gov.uk/wiltshirecorestrategyexamination
Consultation will continue until Tuesday, May 27.

PHILADELPHIA - First year W. Joseph Blood Head Coach of Baseball John Yurkow has finalized his coaching staff for the 2014 season. The staff will feature two familiar names from last season in Mike Santello and Andre Butler, while Josh Schwartz rejoins the staff for his first season in the Red and Blue since volunteering during the 2005 season.
Santello, after spending the past two seasons as an assistant coach for the Quakers, has been promoted to the role of Recruiting Coordinator/Assistant Coach. The third-year assistant previously served at his alma mater, Eastern, where he spent three seasons as the recruiting coordinator and assistant coach.
"We were very fortunate to keep Mike on staff," said Yurkow. "His experience recruiting nationally is invaluable. He's a tireless recruiter and has played an integral part over the last three years in bringing in talented student-athletes. Mike will continue to coach our catchers and has done a great job on the player development side, turning our catchers into a solid unit."
Schwartz joins the Penn baseball coaching staff as the pitching coach after spending six successful seasons in the same position at Gloucester County College. During his tenure, the Roadrunners won two NJCAA Division III National Championships (2010, 2013). He also helped develop seven All-American pitchers.
"I want to thank Steve Bilsky, Tony Vecchione, John Yurkow and the athletic department for this opportunity," said Schwartz. "I am very happy to be joining coach Yurkow and a very good staff here at Penn. I have had the opportunity to work with some of the Penn pitchers over the years at camps and I am real excited to strengthen those relationships as a member of the Quakers."
As a player, Schwartz was a three-time All-American pitcher at Division III Rowan from 2002-05. During his time as an undergrad, he set the All-Division NCAA mark for consecutive victories with 37. Upon graduation, Schwartz went on to be drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals and played one season in their minor league system. He followed that with another season of professional ball with the New Jersey Jackals of the CAM-AM Independent League before joining GCC's staff.
"Josh knows how to win and develop pitchers at the collegiate level," said Yurkow. "He's had success both as a player and a coach during his career and he's ultra competitive. Josh's approach to pitching is simple and aggressive and I'm looking forward to watching our pitching staff grow into something special under his guidance."
Butler, another Eastern product, rejoins the staff for his second season as the Volunteer Assistant. After spending some time at Swarthmore as an assistant, Butler worked with the Penn outfielders and hitters in 2013 and will continue to do so this upcoming season.
"It's great to have Andre back," said Yurkow. "He has done a great job with our outfielders, is a great worker and brings a great deal of enthusiasm everyday."

I really want one of these vintage Telefunken Echomixers. I'm not sure they are worth Sonic Circus's price of $2650. It's definitely a piece you want if your building a musical time machine. What a sweet distortion and spring reverb from Germany.
"Telefunken Echomixer, a great vintage piece form 1960 years with old discrete comoponents (old transistors, no tubes) It is a Mixer + an amazing spring reverberator. the first A channel is dry, and on B and C you can select the spring reverb amount between the two lower sliders. Great unit for a unique sound and collector." – soniccircus.com

Automation: A new year, new priorities
2012 was a great year for materials handling. Now what?
in the NewsJuly U.S-bound shipments are solid, and August looks better, reports Panjiva July Cass Freight Index Report points to annual gains and sequential declines Truckload spot and contract rates seeing a summer bounce, says DAT Schneider Electric names Carlos Villa VP of U.S. industry business Transplace announces TPG is new equity partner More News
It's a New Year's tradition for anyone who writes for a living: use the first column of the year to look back at what just happened and try to make sense of what's to come. Truth be told, it was probably a way for writers to look productive while recuperating from New Year's celebrations. Here's what I think was most notable about 2012, and what I intend to watch in 2013.
More automation: This was not just a 2012 trend. Maybe it's a coincidence, but anecdotally it seems as if industry has been on an automation tear since 2009, when Congress enacted The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Whatever the reason, we saw companies large and small looking for ways to add conveyors, sortation, AGVs and automated storage to their facilities. There are a whole lot of reasons, mostly connected to the cost and availability of reliable labor, that I don't think that's going away any time soon.
Multi-channel distribution: When I first started writing about ecommerce, retailers were debating whether they should operate two DCs – one for store replenishment and another for direct-to-consumer order fulfillment – or just outsource D2C order fulfillment to a third party. Today, as the volume of ecommerce orders grows, the best retailers are consolidating distribution across all of their sales channels under one roof.
The rise of the shuttle: Shuttle technology – think of it as a mini-load AS/RS on steroids – is possibly the best materials handling story out of the last couple of years. Shuttles hit the market about the same time as Kiva. As such, they were overshadowed by everyone's infatuation with those cute little robots. Shuttles, however, seem to have hit their stride. I expect we'll see the introduction of even more new, innovative technologies for piece picking in the coming year or two. Why? Multi-channel distribution.
Unit load storage solutions: One of my favorite stories from 2012 was a piece last month on new strategies for unit load storage. It's an under-appreciated area of our industry, but at Modex, I was really taken by innovative solutions from Smoov, PAS and Swisslog.
Moreover, in that story from December, I was impressed by how companies like Muratec and System Logistics were thinking about unit load storage for freezer and beverage customers.
Automatic guided lift trucks: We're still in the early, early adoption stage of automatic lift trucks. It's a development that I personally find exciting, one that seems like it could lead to the broader adoption of AGV technology in warehousing and distribution. Part of my interest is probably an infatuation with AGVs - I want to root for the suckers. Whether it has legs is still to be seen.

A few months back, I posted about my garage sale chairs. My hubby decided that they had sat in my garage for far too long, and told me to get rid of them. So, naturally, I rebelled and quickly came up with something to do with them. 🙂
To see the entire transformation, check out the original post found HERE.
To make a long story short, I decided to create cheap picture frames out of them. Fun huh!?!
I had been searching for frames to make a gallery wall of all four of my kiddos. But since the baby was born, I haven't ventured out to the thrift stores as often as usual. And before he was born, I couldn't find the motivation to work on the project until he could be part of it.
Creed is only about 11 weeks old, and I wanted to get a cute picture of him smiling. He finally smiled for the camera! AND, I finally found some frames that I liked at the local D.I (Utah's version of Goodwill). Granted, the frames had pictures of horses in them. 🙂 With a few revisions and some black spray paint, I finally had the four frames and the pictures taken. PHEW. This project has been in the making for literally six months!
The pictures of this gallery wall don't do it justice. I think it looks great! I wanted the frames to be chunky and intricate. Finding frames with those two characteristics can be challenging.
It is the first thing that you see when you enter my home. The smallest of the photo prints are 12X18 inches. So, they are BIG. The bigger the better, right? Go big or go home, I always say.
My kids are adorable…I know I'm biased, but I can't help but show them off! Oaklyn is my seven year old.
Connelly is my six year old. (yep they are that close apart…exactly 363 days apart). LOL…that's a story in itself!)
Creed my baby. 🙂
And Londyn my three year old.
I wish you could see how BIG these frames are, but every picture I took seemed to down play their size.
I am so excited to finally have my gallery wall that has been in the works for so long! I hope you like it!
The best part? Total cost of frames and prints? Less than $40.00. 🙂 Now that's THRIFTY!
I'm linking this post to the Gallery Wall Linky Party over at The Inspired Room.

The e-mail from J.P. Barry, Mats Sundin's agent was brief:
"He will be there. No meetings confirmed yet."
This was about Sundin's visit to Madison Square Garden for the Rangers-Hurricanes game on Saturday, when he'll be making a promotional appearance for an online poker outfit. Naturally this would be an opportunity for the free agent center to get together with Glen Sather and others to possibly talk about signing with the Rangers.
But as Barry said, there have been "no meetings confirmed yet." Fine.
But what to make of the word "confirmed"? Or, for that matter, the word "yet"? Is this to say that the possibility of a meeting has indeed been broached? When Barry uses the word "yet", is that to say that he expects the meeting to be confirmed, but he just hasn't heard back?
(This sort of word-parsing reminds me of when I was courting my wife back in college, when I'd replay every conversation in my head. When she said, "You're a great guy," was that to say that, You're a great guy, and I'm glad you called? Or was it more, You're a great guy but you can't honestly expect me to be seen with a guy driving a used Nissan Sentra? I guess I learned the answer.)
Naturally, I e-mailed Barry back for clarification, and he said that nothing had been "arranged to date." So let's just assume that while a meeting hasn't been arranged, it's still very possible.
Meanwhile, suppose Sather and Sundin do meet and Sundin decides MSG is absolutely where he wants to play. What happens then? Here's where it gets tough, because the Rangers would have to find a way to clear some cap space, and it's not like you can put a Michal Rozsival or Petr Prucha on eBay and expect five teams to snatch them up within minutes.
The Rangers could make it happen. But no one is under the impression it would be easy.
Whether Sundin wants to be a Ranger or not, it sounds like "Henrik Lundqvist is all for it":http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/hockey/rangers/2008/12/09/2008-12-09_henrik_lundqvist_would_like_mats_sundin_.html.
No word on a lineup for tonight. The big question is whether Wade Redden returns or if Corey Potter stays in.
More on that later…

♦ The Egyptian military reasserted its privileged political position by removing Mohamed Morsi from power. Troops surrounded the state broadcasting headquarters and General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the army chief of staff, delivered a televised speech announcing the takeover. Morsi's authoritarian governing style exacerbated the huge challenges Egypt already faced – including a moribund economy and intense political polarisation, reports the FT's Borzou Daragahi. David Gardner says that Morsi's government, the liberals and Mubarak's "deep state" are just as much to blame for Egypt's stormy state of affairs as the generals.
♦ The Indian newspaper Patrika has achieved success through itsreputation for credibility – it doesn't take political bribes, which is increasingly common among other Indian newspapers – and for public interest advocacy – it focuses on hyperlocal coverage.

Sonora didn't need much time to turn its Freeway League opener vs. cross town rival La Habra into a blowout.
The Raiders jumped out to a 21 point lead in the first quarter and never let up in a 72-40 victory at Sonora High School Thursday.
Josh Rodriguez and Jimmy Golden scored 19 points each to lead Sonora (11-1) and combined for 20 of the Raiders 27 points in the first quarter. Each hit a pair of three-pointers in the quarter.
"We've got a lot of really good shooters and Josh and Jimmy … If they are on, we can score 25 in a hurry," Sonora Coach Mike Murphy said.
The Highlanders (4-7) only hit two baskets in the opening quarter and didn't sink the first one until after the four-minute mark.
Zack Gray scored eight to lead the Highlanders, whose best run was a 5-0 spurt to open the second half
The victory was the 10th in a row for the Raiders, whose last defeat was by one point to Canyon on Nov.30.
Sonora is also in the midst of a grueling portion of its schedule, having played its seventh game in 11 days.
The Raiders won't play another league game, however, until Jan. 5 vs. Troy.
Before that, however, Sonora will travel south to compete in the Mt. Carmel Holiday Hoops Classic, which starts Wednesday.
"This is a weird schedule," Murphy said. "We've never had this before.

Squarespace and Hurricane Sandy
Most folks probably do not know, Squarespace is our publication platform from the outset, back in 2006 when we started our publication we started with Squarespace.
Its worked very well for us from the outset, its not free, never was, but its reasonably priced with superior service, and capabilities, it works well for us, and we have always recommended Squarespace to folks seeking a publishing platform.
We have known for quite some time, the servers for Squarespace are in Manhattan at Peer 1.
Its seamless, its easy, we have the entire 6 years of the publication available, at all times.
Here is the deal:
In our case, we first experienced the minor effects of Hurricane Sandy in the Caribbean, if you have ever been close to a hurricane situation, its memorable, and the distinguishing signs in the sky and clouds are unforgettable. Our comments varied from, its pretty late in the hurricane season, we are quite a bit south what is it doing here, to this system is huge its been affecting this area for 3 days.
In our situation in the Caribbean on the 4th day the birds were chirping early in the morning, the sun came out after an hiatus of a few days, we were on "time off" for more than a week, and purposely disconnected, its all cool.
Knowing that the trajectory of hurricanes is unpredictable, and being impressed by the shear size of this system, we casually followed the path of Sandy heading north. Once it became clear that land fall would be in the New York City area, we knew that it would be a dramatic event with a dire aftermath, this thing was big in the Caribeans, and got bigger.
We commented "How often will we experience the mild effects of an hurricane in the Caribeans, and home in Toronto?"
In the meantime as Manhattan was flooded, the folks at Squarespace immediately started scrambling to maintain power to the servers, we just imagine, floods, generators running low on fuel, securing alternate generators when everyone else wants to same thing.
The folks at Squarespace made an heroic effort to keep this publication up during extreme conditions, and never relented until it was under control.
The chronology of Squarespace and Hurricane Sandy.
To all the folks at Squarespace....Thank You!

Like previous student-led boycotts of tobacco companies and banks with operations in South Africa, the global fossil fuel divestment campaign is rumbling into action. With high profile backing from the Guardian newspaper and a student blockade of the university administration at Harvard this week, its supporters want to cripple the world's oil and gas companies by striking where it hurts — at their finances.

New Classical Series at London's Iconic Central Synagogue to Launch with Violist David Aaron Carpenter, 7/8
Great Portland Street's iconic Central Synagogue, the famous venue, will host world-class classical musicians in series that gives Jewish perspectives on the great composers. The series is founded by Inverne Price Music Consultancy and renowned cantor Steven Leas. Viola star David Aaron Carpenter and soloists of the New York Salome Chamber Orchestra will play July 8th launch event, in their UK debut.
The best music series share a beating heart with their locations - and there is an iconic venue, until now all but undiscovered as near-perfect for concerts. Lovely in its acoustics and structure, historic, atmospheric and located right in the centre of London, it is the capital's beautiful Central Synagogue. Constructed on Great Portland Street in 1870 and then rebuilt in 1958 after having been bombed, it has been one of the UK's most admired and important synagogues for all that time. It has a tradition of attracting some of the country's top cantors - including the famous Reverend Simon Hass and, currently, Steven Leas - but a new musical tradition is about to be forged there, with the creation of the International Concerts Series At Central Synagogue.
Curated by James Inverne, for Inverne Price Music Consultancy, and by Central Synagogue's admired chazan (cantor) Steven Leas, the series will be inaugurated in high style on 8th July 2014 - with the London debut performance of David Aaron Carpenter and soloists of the New York Salome Chamber Orchestra. Carpenter, dubbed "the hottest violist of the 21st century" by commentator Norman Lebrecht and "stunningly talented" by The New Yorker, will explore "Music of the Jewish Diaspora" - music by composers including Mendelssohn, Kreisler, Gershwin and new works by Russian-American Alexey Shor.
Thereafter the series will comprise six concerts annually, three featuring solo piano and three focussing on other instruments or voice. "There are," says James Inverne, "two stipulations in terms of what we will present. One, the artists have to be world-class, on a par with anything one might see at Wigmore Hall, for instance. And two, each concert has to have something Jewish about it - however obscure or hidden. So that might be to do with the repertoire, or the artists themselves, or simply something to do with themes in the music or the time and place of the music's writing. Those who aren't interested in that side of things might not even notice. For those who are, the idea will always be there somewhere; it might be overt, or it might be waiting to be discovered."
For those who are indeed looking for the Jewish ideas, each concert will be accompanied by a programme essay delving into those themes. "I have always loved and lived in music," says Steven Leas, "This beautiful synagogue is blessed with wonderful acoustics. I want it to assume its rightful place in London's music world, but we never wanted just to invite famous musicians for the sake of inviting famous musicians. Music is about ideas as well as feelings, so this series will be about a collection of thoughts, a debate of the mind as well as a feast for the ears."
The first season will be announced at the 8th July inaugural concert and will feature an impressive array of leading artists from the UK and abroad.
Central Synagogue was built in 1870 on the site of an old warehouse, the foundation stone laid by Baron Lionel de Rothschild, the Ark opened by then-85-year-old Sir Moses Montefiore. Destroyed by enemy bombing in 1941, the current building was completed in 1958, consecrated on 23rd March, and also included a built-to-scale Childrens' Synagogue.
Steven Leas, born in South Africa, is one of the UK's most admired cantors. Following the retirement of Central Synagogue's long-time and famous chazan, Simon Hass, Leas has been credited with continuing the great cantorial traditions at the synagogue, building a choir with a nationwide reputation and returning to the community some of the musical arrangements that grew organically out of its own history.
Inverne Price Music Consultancy, created in 2012, is an artist management and PR agency that James Inverne and New York-based colleague Patricia Price founded to bring creativity and a sense of 'story' to those roles, all rooted in the vision of the artists and institutions with whom they work. Inverne's previous roles include Editor of Gramophone and European Performing Arts Correspondent for Time Magazine; Price was executive Director of Portland Piano International and managed the classical division of the Allegro Music Group.

We're teaming up with other food and garden bloggers to host Summer Fest 2010, a season-long garden party. Each week we'll feature favorite garden-to-table recipes and tips to help you enjoy the bounty, whether you're harvesting your own goodies or buying them fresh from the market. To join in, check out awaytogarden.com.
Yessir, it's Summer Fest, and it's zucchini season. Thanks to my CSA share, my mother's garden and weekly trips to the farmer's market, I've found myself with 7 pieces of zucchini each week. Each week! An insane amount for just one person, and what am I even supposed to do with it all? Check out my top-ten must-try ideas if you're faced with tons and tons of zukes, too. And if you're still stumped, check out my Summer Fest friends' posts for even more inspiration.
10. Make zucchini bread. Ok, maybe you did know this one. I mean come on, everyone knows this one. But did you know about curried zucchini bread? Perhaps not. It's slightly spicy, thanks to curry powder and candied ginger, incredibly moist and savory-sweet, and it freezes well. Try it.
9. Pickle it. A la San Francisco's Zuni Cafe. Tart, crisp, piquant and great on sandwiches, salads or popped into your mouth with your fingers. If you're looking to preserve more than just zucchini, use Jaime Oliver's Amazing Pickled and Marinated Vegetables recipe for herb+veggie combos using fennel, mushrooms, eggplant or peppers in addition to zukes.
8. Pretend it's pasta. Raw zucchini pasta: Great for raw foodists, vegetarians, Meatless Monday champions, dieters or anyone whose neighbor just dropped off a 10-pound basket of zucchini.Raw Zucchini Pesto Pasta from Elle's New England Kitchen
7. Hide it. No, not in the sock drawer, silly, but in your favorite comfort food. Or your kids' (friends', spouses,' etc) favorite comfort food. They'll be eating vegetables and you'll be using up your zukes. Sneak zucchini into mac and cheese, lasagna, zucchini chili, or substitute zucchini for eggplant and make zucchini Parmesan.
6. Fry it. Fine, you knew this one too. But don't just toss it into a skillet with some oil, try Emeril's zucchini fritters, dunk slices into an herb batter before they hit the oil, use Panko for an extra-crunchy layer or deep-fry the flowers.
5. Choc-lify it. Zucchini brownies, chocolate chip zucchini bread, zucchini-chocolate chip cookies, these extremely lovely chocolate zucchini cupcakes with marscarpone frosting, chocolate zucchini cake . . . by transforming your zucchini into dessert, you knock out two important food groups at once: vegetables and chocolate.
4. Drink it. Zucchini-tini? Zucchini smoothie? Well, I guess, but does nothing for me after hearing about zucchini cookies and cake. How about a zucchini spear in a bloody Mary or a slice garnishing a Hendricks and soda instead?
3. Eat it raw. Shred it into Coleslaw, potato or pasta salad, tabbouleh or a garden salad, make Zucchini Carpaccio, Bobby Flay's raw zuke salad over on FoodNetwork.com, serve it Greek-style or gussy it up with truffle oil and pecorino.
2. Stuff it. Provencal-style, Italian-style, Mediterranean-style, filled with beef, chock-full of lamb, or just vegetables, stuff yourself with this delicious . . . stuff.Ellie Krieger's Grilled Zucchini Rolls With Herbs and Cheese
1. Grill it. I know! Another totally obvious one. But let's talk about all the ways you can grill it, and you'll forget you ever brushed your limp slices with Italian dressing and threw them on the barbie. How about Grilled Zucchini Roll-ups, Grilled Zucchini Pizza, Grilled Zucchini Ribbon Salad, zucchini kebabs, grilled zucchini fries, grilled zucchini crostini (because it's delicious and fun to say), grilled zucchini, tomato and mozzarella sandwich . . . drooling yet?
What did I miss? Betcha' can't think of ten more! No cheating, but you can check out the Summer Fest bloggers' posts for ideas on zukes, and cukes, too. Follow and retweet as you will please, #summerfood.

The Midwest and Great Lakes are quickly becoming the hub for transporting and refining one of the worlds dirtiest and most destructive fossil fuels on the planet: tar sands oil.
Pipelines in the area are nothing new, but over the last several years the region's infrastructure has seen a dramatic transformation: a Canadian company, Enbridge Incorporated, is undertaking a massive expansion of their system in the Great Lakes basin, also industry is working to link new and existing pipelines to reach the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, where they can sell to refiners on the international market.
If Enbridge is successful, not only would it cause pain at the pump for Midwestern drivers, but it would lay the groundwork for an explosion of new tar sands development in Canada, boosting carbon emissions and pushing our planet toward the brink of climate catastrophe. This increase in crude also exposes the already threatened Great Lakes to larger and more toxic pipeline spills. Plans are also being drawn up transport millions of gallons of tar sands oil via tanker and rail, an even riskier option than pipelines.
In the summer of 2010 Enbridge was responsible for the largest and costliest inland oil spill in U.S. history, when a pipeline rupture sending over a million gallons of tar sands into the Kalamazoo River system poisoning people and wildlife for miles around. This disaster underscored the weakness of our state and federal safety regulations, but also showed how unprepared the industry is to respond to a toxic spill: almost three years later the river remains polluted despite Enbridge spending nearly $1 billion on the cleanup.
Watch this story about Beth Wallace, an NWF employee whose hometown was impacted by the spill, and whose life was changed forever:
The the disaster in the Kalamazoo River was of the largest tar sands oil spills ever in the Midwest, and one of many pipeline accidents in Michigan. Enbridge is responsible for hundreds of oil spills in the last decade.
National Wildlife Federation is working to stop tar sands expansion projects that will put our resources, communities and wildlife at risk, and we are also pushing for comprehensive pipeline safety reform, a process made harder by the huge gaps in oversight and accountability for the industry.
The health and future of the Great Lakes region, which provides drinking water to millions of people, is at grave risk from tar sands oil pipeline expansions. The report explains the incredibly high risk and direct threat involved for wildlife and people of the Great Lakes region if pipeline expansions continue.
The report warns of a pipeline hazard located at the Straits of Mackinac, where, submerged in the waters where the Lakes Michigan and Huron meet, more than 20 million gallons of crude oil and natural gas fluids are pumped every day through aging pipelines operated by Enbridge Energy--the Canadian company responsible for the worst inland oil disaster in U.S. history.
Enbridge's track record is covered in oil spills. They are the world's biggest transporter of Canadian tar sands oil, and responsible for the biggest inland spill in American history. Learn more about Enbridge's track record, their reckless expansion plans, and unseemly marketing tactics used to defuse criticism.
Nearly two years after one of the worst oil spills in Midwest history a new report asks the pressing question: "Do laws governing pipelines adequately protect the Great Lakes basin and its communities from oil pollution?"
Learn more about the oil spill impacts, the response, and the Canadian tar sands company that owned the pipeline.

Helen & Bob
July 21
New Haven, Vermont
Q&A with the Bride:
Which three details of your wedding were your favorites?
- The exact location of the ceremony, which was next to the pond. We went back and forth several times about the exact location, and the final location was picked the morning of the wedding with the bride's hair in curlers.
- The table settings with the flowers that Christine Snell made for the tables and cake. I also loved the cookie favors I had made with embroidery icing.
- The little rocks we used as place cards. Bob and I had picked them up from the shore of the 100 year old family vacation cottage, on Thompson's Point, the year before. We asked guests to say a prayer or wish for us on their rock and return them to the shore. That way our wedding would be part of the family cottage forever.
If you could offer one piece of advice for other couples planning their wedding, what would it be?
After planning, and helping to plan, two weddings, two years in a row [Helen's daughter got married last year] we learned to go with what you love. Don't second guess yourself. It always comes together in the end.
Give us the one moment in your wedding day you can't stop thinking about.
The moment we saw each other just before the wedding. When Bob turned around, he just let out this big "ohh" with a big smile on his face. It was a really sweet moment.

The Minerals Council of Australia is looking for a new chief executive officer following Mitch Hooke's decision to leave the organisation at the end of this year.
Mr Hooke, the council's chief executive since 2002, had made an enormous impact on the industry and the wider public-policy landscape, chairman Peter Johnston said.
''He has been a tireless campaigner for the minerals sector during some of its most difficult periods,'' he said in a statement today.
Mr Hooke had considerable success improving the industry's environmental and social performance as well as enhancing the sector's relationship with indigenous Australians.
He also led the mining industry's fight against the Labor government's super-profits tax, which eventually cost Kevin Rudd his job as prime minister.
Mr Johnston said Mr Hooke had built a strong and highly-regarded organisation with a capable secretariat, an engaged membership and a reputation for policy integrity and credibility.
Mr Hooke has agreed to continue as a special adviser for 12 months after he steps down as CEO.

Topic: Alternative advice
I have had so many 'friends'!! tell me I should try this or that diet. Dr. Oz had someone on the other day said if you take 1 tsp. of wasabi a day it will cure cancer!! Been told by another friend to go to 'know the cause' online and watch. This guy claims all cancer is caused by fungus so go on the diet to eliminate all foods with fungus! Then cannibus is supposed to cure cancer. I get overwhelmed & don't know what to say to them. Does anyone here know anyone who has been cured by any alternative methods!! I am trying to eat as healthy as I can.
