Hi all!
I am looking for buying wholesale cake boxes boards. Can u guys tell me where do you guys get it. I live austin texas. If there is some place nearby it would be great.
try here: (free shipping!)
thanks...will check it now!
Thanks! That answered my question too!
I was just getting ready to order from that company when I discovered -from here of course- that Sam's sells boxes from the bakery. You have to get them in boxes of 50 but what a savings!! I got 50 corrigated sturdy cardboard bottoms and 50 separate tops with a window lid for $30.00.
wow....gee thanks for those info i compared everything sam's sound cheap...just waiting to go there.
like to hear about others regarding where they buy their supplies?
who is Sam??
Its "SAMS CLUB" .
If you have a Restaurant Depot near you they sell boxes at a good wholesale price, membership is free, but you must have a tax id number to join.
I buy mine at bakemark it in Arlington TX is between Forth Worth and Dallas. I have to drive 2 hours in order to get all my supplies.
I think they mean the web site - Cakes by Sam
Check your yellow pages for "restaraunt supply" or "paper supplies"
These type companys sell all the paper products you would need from
cake boards to boxes and its alot cheaper than your local cake supply
company because they are cutting out the middle man, and you dont
have to belong to any club to purchase there!
Im in S Alabama and our local company is Houston Paper Co.
No, they do mean "SAM's CLUB." I saw that post the other day too.
I tried going into the Sam's Club website but Im having trouble finding the boxes. Also does anyone know where I can find good price cupcake holders to put in boxes?
No, they do mean "SAM's CLUB." I saw that post the other day too.
Sorry, my mistake
gingergirlk9 - I don't think you can buy the boxes from Sam's online - it's not really "for sale", you are buying from the bakery's stock of supplies.
So, you have to go to the bakery and ask a person in the bakery dept.
If she looks at you weird ask for the manager.
They also have the cupcake inserts for about $15. They go in the 1/2sheet boxes and hold 30.
I buy huge buckets of frosting from them (can't remember the pounds but, very large bucket). The first time I didn't know any better and the guy charged me $42 then each time I've gone back I've only been charged $24. Looks like he transposed the numbers. Now I know.
It works great for wedding cakes not having to make all that frosting.

Richmond Olympian takes on full-time coaching role
One of Richmond's greatest-ever athletes is the new full-time assistant coach of the University of B.C. Thunderbirds swimming program.
Brian Johns, a former world record holder, three-time Olympian and five-time national champion at UBC as an athlete, has made the seamless transition from the pool to the deck and will continue to be a huge asset for both the men's and women's teams to benefit from.
Johns has spent the last two-and-a-half seasons working as a part-time assistant with the Thunderbirds. Following the recent UBC Sport Review, the swim team was given an additional full-time coaching position, and according to head coach Steve Price, having Johns take the job was a no brainer.
"He is a Thunderbird through and through and obviously this is great for the program and our athletes," said Price. "He has developed himself inside the program first as an athlete and now as a coach. Being a well-sought-after coach across the country he certainly had other job opportunities, so we feel very fortunate that he chose to stay here at UBC"
"I was very fortunate to be given the opportunity by Steve to go right from the pool into coaching," said Johns. "This is the right spot for me at this time. I'm learning a lot and getting the chance to grow as a coach, but more importantly we are building something special here and I am happy to be a part of it."
Johns first came to UBC in December 2000 and swam five seasons for the 'Birds from 2000 to 2003 and 2005 to 2007, winning a Canadian Inter-University Sport national championship in each of his five seasons. During his CIS career he became the most decorated swimmer in UBC history winning 33 CIS gold medals and one CIS silver medal. In fact, the silver came in his very first CIS final during his first year with UBC, after that he never lost another final. He was also named the CIS Swimmer of the Year three times (2002, 2003, and 2007) and the CIS Male Athlete of the Year in 2002.
On the international stage, Johns represented Canada at three Olympic Games (2000, 2004, and 2008). At the Sydney Games he finished 15th in the 200-metre individual medley and seventh in the four-by-200-metre freestyle relay. In Athens he was 15th in the 400-metre individual medley and fifth in the four-by- 200-metre freestyle relay and in Beijing he had his best individual result, making the final of the 400-metre individual medley and placing seventh. He also earned a fifth place finish in the four-by-200-metre freestyle relay.
He is also a former world record holder in the 400-metre individual medley (short course) clocking a time of 4:02.72 back in 2003. The time still remains a Canadian record today. He also still holds the Canadian record in the 200-metre individual medley (short course) and 400-metre individual medley (long course). Other accolades include three Commonwealth Games medals (two silver and a bronze), three World Championship medals (a silver and two bronze), and a gold medal at the 2007 World University Games.
It's that international success that Johns will be looking to share with the next crop of Thunderbirds.
"One of the biggest goals is not just being good at the varsity level," said Johns. "We need to re-establish ourselves on the international scene. In the past we have fallen off a bit, but we have some young swimmers with the capabilities to get to that level as long as we can provide them with the foundation and environment to allow that to happen. It starts with getting the age group programs more involved with what we are doing at the varsity level so that we can help develop swimmers even before they are in university all the way through to podium finishes at the international level."
Johns graduated from UBC with a bachelor of human kinetics in 2009 and master of kinesiology in 2013.

At the end of every investment scam, there is a lesson learned. In one particular scheme, US Postal Inspectors say there is a takeaway that could save the next unsuspecting victim a fortune.
"The fraud involved a hedge fund that didn't exist and an investment advisor who had tricked four investors," explained US Postal Inspector Greg Ghiozzi.
Robert Beauchene was that advisor.
"He had acted as investment advisor while he worked in New York," said Ghiozzi. "He moved down to Wilmington, NC but maintained relationship with them and asked them to invest in this hedge fund."
Beauchene promised investors a 10% to 20% return on their money. They trusted him, so they made the leap.
"The previous relationship was an important aspect of him gaining their trust. He was also a very personable guy, very interesting guy and that also helped win over their trust," said Ghiozzi.
Investors received stock certificates as well as monthly statements showing a healthy profit for the fund. But, they were phony documents. After several months investors started to have questions.
"The investors realized they had been scammed when Robert Beauchene stopped returning their calls and seemingly fell off the face of the earth," explained Ghiozzi.
The small group of investors lost more than $140,000, money authorities believe Beauchene used for himself. several victims were devastated.
"The money they invested was all they had in savings and the loss of that money had a dramatic effect on their lives," Ghiozzi said.
Inspectors say the victims had such a strong relationship with Beauchene they were hesitant to believe he scammed them.
"Not only is there a financial loss, but there is also an emotional loss, and sometimes that emotional loss of trust is actually more damaging than the financial losses," added Ghiozzi.
Inspectors warn that you should never let your emotions guide your investment decisions, and you should always do your research.
Meantime, Beauchene was sentenced to one year in prison plus three years of supervised release.

The American government handed out bank bailouts, and proved that you can answer the doorbell with a lot more than a York peppermint patty in your hand. But how far, exactly, can we take this Halloween tradition? Let's ratchet this from boring to badass.
This is standard operating procedure, but we can build it better. There are two possible options: monstrously outsized sweets, and, um, "behavior modification substances". You want to blow a kid's mind? Hand him a four-foot chocolate grizzly bear. Just make sure he doesn't shit himself all over your porch. You want to drive his parents crazy? Lots of candies involve caffeine. Some candies involve lots of caffeine. Maybe they sell 5-Hour Energies in bulk. Somebody may sue your for demolishing the neighborhood, but the little fuckers' parents will make sure they never bother you again.
There are haunted houses, and then there are haunted houses. We want these children to avoid your place not because you give out apples or toothbrushes, but because ninety-five percent of them curl into a fetal position and cry a few seconds after setting foot on your property. I'm not talking about zombies or ghosts. I'm talking about mind-warping, trauma-inducing shit. I'm talking about tombstones that read, "Mommy and Daddy will be under here one day" . I'm talking about crystal balls that screech "NOBODY LOVES YOU AND NOBODY EVER WILL" at the fortune-teller's touch. I'm talking about buckets of real pig blood that stink to high heaven. H.R. Giger did the design work on the Alien movies. Maybe he's available for hire. We've gotten soft, and nobody finds vampires scary anymore (thanks, Twilight). Halloween shouldn't give you goosebumps, it should ruin your life.
This and "sheer terror" may or may not overlap. If you make it a regular thing to spend Halloween on LSD you're a braver man than I. If you make it a regular thing to give kids LSD on Halloween then you're my fucking hero. Yes, it's illegal and abusive, but think about how interesting the world will be in twenty years. Do you want to sprinkle wonder and Halloween magic over the lives of the neighborhood little ones? What's going to do that better than sparkly glowworms crawling out out of their Kit Kats?
Listen, you can't just hand out guns. You'll get shut down too quick. Fireworks might be more doable, or big, elaborate Lord-of-the-Rings swords (don't pretend you don't know where to get them; I've seen your catalogs). Imagine the kid's surprise. Imagine how well it'll go with his costume. Imagine the carnage. There's no real fear in anyone's heart come Halloween anymore, and that depresses me. We could all dress up like we're inhabiting a post-apocalyptic landscape, or we could just inhabit one. All it takes is a little assault hardware in the hands of the world's ten-year-olds. People have argued that this is more "Christmas" than "Halloween", but I don't see anything particularly Christmas-y about a chainsaw.
No, no, I'm not suggesting pedophilia. You're a sick f**k. Here's an idea: forget kids this halloween. Gather a list of participating adults, make a map their houses, and go door-to-door exchanging something you really care about. And by that I don't mean "cheer and neighborliness". Swap fluids, swap wives, and swap embarrassing stories the next day over your post-hangover bacon. At least three fourths of the non-kid costumes on the market involve being half-naked anyway, so I say we just give in to our subconscious desires and admit to ourselves what this holiday's really become. I'm more frightened of herpes than werewolves. Know why? Because herpes actually exists.

The general policy says Microsoft collects all sorts of information about users, including name, address, phone numbers, gender, preferences, and favorites, and then shares that data among other services you use for such purposes as personalizing your experience. "Microsoft uses your personal information for ... making the sites or services easier to use by eliminating the need for you to repeatedly enter the same information; performing research and analysis aimed at improving our products, services, and technologies; and displaying content and advertising that are customized to your interests and preferences," according to the policy.
The only opt-out options listed in the policy are to put the kibosh on receiving targeted ads.
Google vs. Apple
Apple, meanwhile, has a single privacy policy document (last updated on Oct. 21). It appears to apply to any and all Apple services, including iTunes, iCloud, MobileMe, iPhone, Mac, and the Apple Retail stores. Apple's policy says, vaguely, that it may collect "a variety of information," including name, address, phone number, email address, contact preferences, and credit card information. The info is collected as users create an Apple ID, register products, apply for credit, purchase a product, download software updates, register for classes at an Apple Retail Store, or participate in an online survey.
Apple also may collect info about your friends and family when you share content with them using an Apple product, send a gift certificate or product, or ask them to join you on Apple forums. The info includes the contact's name, mailing address, email address, and phone number.
Apple says that it may combine personal info with non-personal info it collects (such as occupation, language, zip code, area code, unique device identifier, location, and the time zone where an Apple product is used) with personal information. "The combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined," per the policy.
Apple uses all the info it gathers from users for such purposes as targeting users with product announcements, software updates, and event information; "to develop, deliver, and improve products, services, content, and advertising;" and "for internal purposes, such as auditing, data analysis, and research to improve Apple's products, services, and customer communications."
As with Microsoft's policy, Apple only provides a way to opt out of receiving targeted ads.
Google vs. Yahoo
Yahoo has long followed a single sign-on to access a wide range of services, from email to travel to games to finance to personals. Per its privacy policy, it collects all sorts of information about you, as well as about your transactions with Yahoo and its partners. It's not entirely clear how much data is passed among services: "Yahoo uses information for the following general purposes: To customize the advertising and content you see, fulfill your requests for products and services, improve our services, contact you, conduct research, and provide anonymous reporting for internal and external clients."
Yahoo does surrender your information to partners, however: "We provide the information to trusted partners who work on behalf of or with Yahoo under confidentiality agreements. These companies may use your personal information to help Yahoo communicate with you about offers from Yahoo and our marketing partners."
Yahoo lets you set your Yahoo Account Information, including your marketing preferences, to opt out of targeted ads. The level of data Yahoo offers isn't quite as comprehensive as what you'd find on Google's Dashboard, though.

At Learning Without Frontiers Conference, Keri Facer, Professor of Education, Manchester Metropolitan University said:
…in Sweden we have the first political party, that, if you like, is allying itself with a particular age group – the Pirate Party.
I don't think this is true. I mean sure, in Sweden there's a political party called the Pirate Party, but it's hardly focused on a specific age group.
Let me explain: actually, there are Pirate Parties in over 40 countries, inspired by the Swedes. In Germany, I was there for the run up to an election which saw the German Pirate Party get 14 seats in the State Parliament. So whilst Sweden was where the movement started and has had some success, (Sweden is represented in the European Parliament by two Pirate Party MEPs), the concept is hardly isolated.
In the UK, we have a Pirate Party. If you've read this blog before, you may have noticed that I'm currently the Education Spokesperson and that I contested the parliamentary seat of Manchester Gorton in the 2010 General Election.
I think it's also worth thinking about the other point that Keri made; is the Pirate Party allying itself specifically with a certain age group? Rick Falkvinge – the founder of the Pirate Party movement – puts forward an interesting explanation:
Rick Falkvinge at the Pirate Party Conference 2011 in Glasgow
As Rick says, "it's a little bit more than that; let us explain" and I hope this post has helped people to understand and clarify the original statement.

'Idol' bits: schedule change, Phillip Phillips, 'The Voice'
With Fox's "Rake" tanking, the network is moving the "Idol" results show from 8 p.m. Thursday to 9 p.m. Thursday starting next week. (It will remain 8 p.m. this week.) Generally, viewership is better at 9 p.m. so that's good news for "Idol."
"Hell's Kitchen" will air at 8 p.m. Thursday instead while "Rake' is bumped to Fridays to die a slow death.
"Idol" will have an hour-long results show the next three weeks but go to 30 minutes starting March 27.
Phillip Phillips will perform new single 'Raging Fire" on the results show Thursday.
"The Voice" continues to draw strong numbers: 15.7 million viewers Monday night with a 4.5 18-49 rating. That's almost the same as its debut, with much better retention numbers than "Idol" had in January for its 13th season debut.
Here's a sampling of what aired last night:
Sam Behymer does an impressive karaoke impression of Lorde with some really odd enunciation:
The Brothers Walker are kinda cute with their Zac Brown cover and Usher takes them:
And I love this girl! Clarissa Sema doing the Cranberries' "Zombie." She's a four-chair turner. She takes Shakira.
Melissa Jiminez sings a bit of "If I Ain't Got You" in Spanish. She's a good singer. She picks Usher over Shakira.
Sisaundra Lewis is very old school singing Aretha Franklin, A very impressive voice. She goes to Team Blake.

Guest blog post by Jay Martini
Well...don't blink, but the comment period has ended.
Any tomato man worth his sea salt had nine whole days to read the 31-page draft text of the 'Suspension of Antidumping Investigation: Fresh Tomatoes From Mexico', absorb and understand it, then formulate and submit a response by 5:00 PM Monday to the U.S. Department of Commerce - International Trade Administration through a reportedly frustrating and bureaucratic online mechanism.
That's a tall order, folks. Doesn't leave much time for much else, like sleeping or running a business. Almost makes you think this was slated to be fast-tracked and they didn't want too many comments. But I'd have to be paranoid to think that.
It will be interesting to see if: 1) the comments are ever displayed publicly, with attribution, and 2) from the comments there will be an actual amending of the draft for the final agreement. But more critical, of course, are the endgame ramifications of the price increases to the floor, or 'reference' prices.
When it sunk in that minimums were being jacked up by a minimum of 48% on a per pound basis for round tomatoes in the winter, and there wasn't word one in the draft text about regulating supply at shipping point, it was apparent that this was the kind of scenario that would have master economist Alan Greenspan repeating the phrase 'irrational exuberance' like he did in 1996, well ahead of the dot.com crash.
Interestingly, though, many veteran salespeople at both ends of the tomato chain who ordinarily would welcome dictated higher prices with open arms, are at best apprehensive about monkeying with the delicate supply/demand balance that currently exists in the tomato industry. They care about movement, period. And they can only hope that potential violators of the new agreement down the line will be dissuaded from doing so unless they want to feel the wrath of PACA (and maybe civil) sanctions.
In the meantime, however, look for the tomato market to be a bit jumpy, shall we say, in the days leading up to March 4, as shippers and buyers alike begin jockeying for position with their respective inventories before they go through the looking glass, together.
Chicago-based Jay Martini is a contributor of the Fresh Talk blog and has been a tomato broker since 1980.

Unless you've graduated from a particular school, you may not know how or why it got its name. We delve into the history behind some local schools and the meanings of their monikers.
Cor Jesu Academy
Next year, the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus will celebrate 100 years in St. Louis. In 1913, Archbishop John Glennon welcomed four religious sisters from Connecticut to town to help staff a new Catholic school downtown—Our Lady Help of Christians—with a focus on helping Italian immigrants.
Founded in 1894 in Italy by Mother Clelia Merloni, the order's presence grew in St. Louis; and in 1956, the sisters started Cor Jesu Academy. The Latin phrase 'Cor Jesu' means 'heart of Jesus,' echoing the order's name. Originally located on Macklind Avenue on The Hill, Cor Jesu moved to its present location in Affton in 1965.
Today, the history and meaning behind Cor Jesu's name is perpetuated through the students, with its motto, 'sharing the love of the heart of Christ.' Freshman theology includes a unit on Mother Clelia and the beliefs behind the Apostles.
John Burroughs School
When a group of local parents came together in the 1920s to form a new secondary school in St. Louis, they established the intentions, concept and even the land the institution would stand on, but they didn't have a name.
After founding the elementary Community School several years earlier, the group came together again to build another school for the next level of education. While the school was initially intended to be an all-girls institution, the committee reconsidered after several school founders traveled to the East Coast to visit Bryn Mawr College, where they were informed that co-education was the future.
An ideal site for the institution was found off of Price Road, available for $35,000, but the school still was missing a name. According to legend, after a long night of haggling, committee member Ernest Stix awoke from a nap in the corner and yelled, "Call it John Burroughs and let's go home!" Burroughs, a well-known naturalist who had recently died, evoked the ideals that the group wanted for their children: appreciation of beauty, combined with spiritual sturdiness, self-reliance and leadership based on high motive. John Burroughs School opened in 1923.
Rossman School
When Smith Academy closed in the spring of 1917, an educational vacuum was left behind in St. Louis city. Mary B. Rossman and fellow teacher Helen Schwaner recognized the need for basic elementary education for boys and girls in the city; and after being encouraged by friends and parents of prospective students, they opened their own school in the fall of the same year.
Rossman School was originally located on Delmar Boulevard, with Rossman and Schwaner assuming some of the teaching duties and following the tenet, Do not attempt more than you can achieve and do what you attempt thoroughly and well.
Schwaner passed away in 1956 at age 87, continuing to come to the school for a few hours every day up until her death. In 1957, Rossman stepped down from her role as head of the school after 40 years, but maintained her role as consultant and president for a few years before passing away in her mid-90s in 1967. Rossman School relocated to its present location on Conway Road in Creve Coeur in 1962.
Nerinx Hall
Nerinx Hall is named in tribute to the Rev. Charles Nerinckx, a Catholic missionary priest from Belgium who helped found the Sisters of Loretto religious order in 1812. After learning English, Nerinckx was sent to Kentucky in 1805 to assist Rev. Stephen Badin, a fellow missionary priest. While there, he assisted in the formation of a new teaching order with a focus on Catholic education, alongside three women: Mary Rhodes, Ann Havern and Christina Stuart.
After the sisters came to St. Louis, they established Loretto College in 1915. Changing its name to Webster College (now Webster University) in 1924, the school also applied for affiliation with the North Central Association of Colleges and Universities. To receive that affiliation, the sisters were required to conduct their college and high school courses in separate buildings. While they were inclined to discontinue the high school, Webster Groves residents fought to keep the program, and it was moved into the Lockwood family mansion. Nerinx Hall graduated its first class in May 1925, 100 years after Rev. Nerinckx's death.
Villa Duchesne and Oak Hill School
After founding the Society of the Sacred Heart in 1800 in France, St. Madeleine Sophie Barat sent her protégé, St. Rose Philippine Duchesne, to the U.S. in 1818. She arrived in New Orleans and traveled to St. Louis after learning the city needed teachers, establishing the first location of the religious order outside of France. Today, there are 22 Sacred Heart schools in the U.S., and Villa Duchesne and Oak Hill School pays tribute to Duchesne's work.
Villa Duchesne was founded in 1929 by the Religious of the Sacred Heart. The elementary school followed in 1973, the name of Oak Hill stemming from the French word 'Duchesne,' or 'of the oak.' The stories of Barat and Duchesne are part of the school's history, and students are reminded of that connection with the image of the oak leaf present in many parts of the campus.

KT Tunstall becomes a ski high-jumpers who met a disastrous fall in attempt to break a record.
The music video of "If Only" which is KT Tunstall's third single off "Drastic Fantastic" has been premiered. Apt to its title, in the clip Tunstall played a ski-jumper who fails to break a record and make her jump.
The snow-themed video reportedly was shot in Norway's Olympic Ski Jumping Hill in Lillehammer. Tunstall attempted to make a high jump and was in the middle of a good one when something went wrong, causing her to take a free painful fall. In the end of the video, she was seen bloody but smiling to the camera.
"If Only" will be released as a single on March 3.

The 34-year-old admitted the difficult decision was the right one for his family, but he would take away cherished memories of the fans at Warriors.
"After much consideration we feel, as a family, that this is the right time to return home to Australia, with my daughter starting high school and my son soon to start school," he said.
"I would like to thank Mike Ruddock and Cecil Duckworth for giving me the opportunity to come to Worcester and to Pat Sanderson and my team-mates for making me feel so welcome. It has been an enjoyable time in my career.
"I also need to make a special thank you to all the supporters. Their dedication to supporting the team has been absolutely magnificent. That is something I will take away from here as a memory of my time with Warriors.
"I am now fully committed to the rest of the season and looking forward to making sure Warriors fulfil their goals and make the top six in the Guinness Premiership. On a personal level, I'm looking to continuing to play some consistent rugby and a big role for the club."

Ginger Pork Pot Stickers
Recipe by cookiedog
Although I have not tried these yet, the recipe looks promising. This is from the Raley's Something Extra winter 2007. Time is an estimate
Top Review by Derf2440
Very good, DH really likes them but felt they didn't really need the chicken broth. He kept stealing them out of the pan before I added the broth. I made one addition, I added a good sprinkle of crushed chili flakes to the filling for a little kick. I had to use the square wonton wraps, couldn't find the round ones,they worked fine. I would make them again, thanks for posting.

The Alice Paul
Feminist Jurisprudence Essay Contest
Please note: The Programs are not accepting submissions for the essay contest this year.
Feminist Jurisprudence Essay Contest Named in Honor of Alice Paul
Washington College of Law has a long tradition of supporting feminist legal scholarship. To honor this tradition, our Feminist Jurisprudence Essay Contest has been named in honor of Alice Paul, a Washington College of Law alumna. Alice Paul, class of 1922, authored the original Equal Rights Amendment (while studying at WCL) and founded the National Women's Party. Paul played a pivotal role in the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, which gave women the right to vote. She wrote the equal rights amendment in the Preamble to the Charter of the United Nations in 1923 and pushed for the inclusion of "sex" in the 1964 Civil Rights Act - still the only Federal protection women have against discrimination in the workplace. She presented this at the 75th anniversary of the Seneca Falls meeting. We hope to inspire the next generation of scholars, lawyers and activists to make daring and creative contributions to feminist jurisprudence.

TEENAGE jockey Sam Burton is looking forward to the experience of riding under the England banner when he represents his country in Ireland next month.
Burton, from Calne, is one of 18 young riders selected in the England team that will take on their Irish counterparts in the second Kerry International Pony Championships at Tralee racecourse, which take place during the Rose of Tralee Festival on August 16-17.
Burton, 14, rides six times a week at Roger Charlton's stables in Beckhampton and can't wait to race against some of Ireland's best youngsters in the 15 hands competition.
"I've been riding since I was nine years old and at one of the races last year, I got asked if I'd be interested in racing in Ireland – it looks really exciting, so I said yes," said Burton, who joins the likes of Abbie McCain, daughter of Red Rum's trainer Ginger McCain and Jonjo O'Neill's son AJ.
"It's quite a privilege to be picked and I think it's going to be fun racing against the Irish, because they're always good. I've got three horses. We own Just Cruzin and we've got Cool Runner and Just Jack on loan but they're going to give us rides out there.
"They'll just sit us down and say 'go race'.
"It probably is the biggest thing I've ever done."
Burton, whose ride Just Cruzin is based at the family yard in Oare, near Pewsey, will be accompanied by dad Gerald in Ireland.
Mum Alex says that riding runs in the family.
"His father and grandfather both rode and he's got two brothers too. Danny rides for Alan King and his other brother Wayne did ride but he was paralysed in a fall at Exeter," she said.
"The riders were picked on their results from all of the races over the last year or so and he's done really well to get selected alongside the children of some of the biggest trainers around.
"This is a bit of a different competition because there's actually prize money, which you don't get with the ponies in this country."

A Florida company announced plans to build five plants in Pointe Coupee Parish that will convert agricultural waste into fertilizer.
BioNitrogen Corp., of Doral, Fla., said it has been granted preliminary approval by the Louisiana Community Development Authority to issue up to $1.25 billion in tax-exempt bonds to acquire land for the plants and build and develop the facilities.
BioNitrogen said it signed a letter of intent to buy about 250 acres of land next to the Pointe Coupee Parish Port near Lettsworth that will be used for the plants.
The LCDA's move clears the way for BioNitrogen to go to the Louisiana State Bond Commission for final approval to issue tax-exempt bonds for the project, said Bryan Kornegay Jr., president and chief financial officer of BioNitrogen.
He said each of the Pointe Coupee plants would hire about 52 full-time employees, so the entire facility would create 260 jobs.
Kornegay, who grew up in Baton Rouge and graduated from Episcopal, said there would be two sources of fuel for the Pointe Coupee fertilizer plant: scrap trees and waste from saw mills and sugar cane bagasse.
The Pointe Coupee Parish plants would be built in parallel with a fertilizer plant in Hardee County, Fla.
Last week, BioNitrogen received approval from the state of Florida to issue up to $175 million in tax-exempt bonds to build the plant in the central part of the state. BioNitrogen also has a deal with CF Industries to remove trees from lands in Florida where it mines phosphates; the scrap wood will be used by the Hardee County plant to make fertilizer.
Kornegay said it makes sense to build fertilizer plants in the South because of the steady stream of feedstocks, or raw materials.
"In the Midwest, when Mother Nature is not nice, there are things like droughts, which create less biomass," he said. "In the South, when Mother Nature is not nice, there are things like hurricanes, which create more biomass."
The milder climate also allows for trees to be cleared and trimmed year-round, generating a steady stream of fuel, he said.
BioNitrogen will use its proprietary technology to turn the agricultural waste into urea fertilizer, which is about 46 percent nitrogen. Nitrogen is a key component of fertilizer.
Kornegay said U.S. farmers import 10 billion tons of fertilizer a year, so the demand exists for an environmentally friendly product. BioNitrogen already has a deal with United Suppliers, an Iowa agricultural wholesaler, to buy fertilizer, he said.
"I'm not concerned about North America," he said.
And unlike some projects that use biomass for fuel, Kornegay said BioNitrogen doesn't need government subsidies to be profitable.
In the next two months, BioNitrogen expects to close on the purchase of the Pointe Coupee land and move forward with planning, zoning and permitting for the site. At the same time, the company will be working on getting approval to sell the bonds and preparing to take them to market.
Kornegay said he hopes to start construction on the Pointe Coupee plant in 2014, with 2015 being the first full year of operations. The five plants would be built in succession.
Adam Knapp, president and CEO of the Baton Rouge Area Chamber, said the organization has been working with BioNitrogen since August to find sites for the plants. The company looked at sites from Natchez, Miss., to New Orleans, before deciding on Lettsworth because of the proximity to the Mississippi River, Red River and Atchafalaya Basin.
"A project like this is in our wheelhouse," Knapp said. "We have a lot of nitrogen producers in the area, but this is using a different input to get there."
BioNitrogen will be able to use the existing manufacturing and labor force, along with an existing supply of waste, to produce a new product, he said.
"It's nice to reconnect with somebody from here and bring them back, where they can create jobs," Knapp said.

Gain visibility with informative reports
If you are an administrator making business critical decisions, you need to have complete visibility of the password management process in your enterprise. Often you might be plagued with questions such as -
- What passwords can the user access?
- How many secrets has the user shared and with whom?
- How many users have changed their passphrase in the last month?
- How many users have access to this secret?
Zoho Vault provides intuitive reports in easy-to-understand tables and graphs which show up-to-date snapshots about the status and summaries of various activities related to password management. Super-admins/ administrators can run these reports and figure out which password management policies need to be addressed at the moment.
Zoho Vault provides two reports at present - User Access Report and Secrets Access Report. Click the 'Reports' tab and select your preferred report to proceed.
User Access Report:
Assume that you want a list of all passwords owned by someone. You also need the list of passwords accessed by them during a specific time period. In such cases the user access report helps you find information on 'who' has access to 'what' secrets at the moment.
You can either choose to view the access details of all users or select specific users from the drop-down list. Choosing "All Users" option gives you a brief summary of number of users and a graphical representation of the number of user roles in the organization. The list of users, along with their respective secrets and description, is provided at the bottom of the page. Clicking on specific users gives you a graphical representation of the secrets owned/shared to the user along with a snapshot of the secret access level.
This report will come in handy when someone leaves the organization. You take a report of all the secrets access by that user and carry out reset operation.
Secret Access Report:
Consider a situation where you want to know the owner of a password and the list of users who can access that password. In this case, the Secret Access Report helps you identify 'who' all have access to a particular secret at the moment.
You can choose to view access details about all secrets or choose a specific secret from the drop-down. Choosing "All Secrets" option gives you snapshots of their accessibility level and the chambers they belong to. A list of all shared secrets along with their access level is provided at the bottom of the page.

This review applies to this 12x12 Collection Pack, as well as to the matching individual sheets that I purchased at the same time. The paper is very good quality, and the designs are colorful and pretty. The colors did seem a little different than they appeared on the computer screen, but they're lovely just the same. Thus the reason for the four stars instead of five. As usual, hard to decide which side of the paper to use.

FOR anyone who is considering shale gas as an answer to high energy prices or councils that think the bribe they have been offered by David Cameron this week is just too good to pass up, I would urge them to watch the film Gasland.
This tells the story of big corporations poisoning water tables and causing earthquakes for profit by ordinary Americans who have had their lives turned upside down by fracking.
Of course the corporations also have the means to make the people trying to highlight these issues stay quiet.
It is also known that this procedure was halted in Lancashire after it was linked to earthquakes there, but still councils are being urged to ignore this and take the money.
I know government cuts have put huge pressures on local councils, but I hope they will consider the long-term implications of damage to the local area and health risks to the people they are accountable to.
It's not even English companies that will benefit from this, so far it is French and American firms that are doing the explorations here.
Tina Duke, Jute Road, Acomb, York.
• THE Prime Minister's fracking announcement has been dubbed as a bribe by certain persons.
Yet it is only a little different to the financial support given to 'green' energy which originates from tax in our energy bills, as well as other government subsidies to wind farms and solar panels.
The anti frackers have begun their protests. The objections are based on historical evidence accrued during the development of thousands of fracking sites in America, where a comparatively small of complaints arose from the thousands of drillings.
The overall benefit of plentiful supplies of natural gas, reducing the cost of energy, far outweighed allegations from the few.
The question of countryside pollution by drilling can be little different to the peppering of the countryside with subsidised wind farms. It might be possible to drill for fracking in the same area that has already been polluted by wind farms.
It is certain that the regulations imposed on the companies will be much more restrictive than in America.
The main problem would seem to be the need for enormous amounts of water supplies in the areas developed.
J Beisly, Osprey Close, York.

HOUSTON - A woman had to be extricated from her vehicle after a two-car accident in northeast Houston.
It happened Saturday at around 11:15 p.m. at the intersection of Elysian Street and the North Loop feeder road.
According to Houston police, two people were traveling in a white SUV northbound on Elysian when it slammed into a car with two occupants traveling eastbound on the North Loop feeder road.
Police say one of the drivers ran a red light, but both drivers claim to have had the green light.
There were no witnesses.
The crash sent both vehicles off the roadway and into a concrete pillar.
One woman was trapped in the car and had to be extricated by the Houston Fire Department.
She was then taken to Ben Taub Hospital in stable condition.

ST. PETERSBURG — Gabe Kapler's offensive struggles were a reason manager Joe Maddon elected to pinch-hit switch-hitting Ben Zobrist Friday night against a left-handed reliever, which resulted in a grand slam and a victory.
But it was also a key factor in Maddon putting Kapler, who bats right, in the starting lineup Saturday, to try to "get him going."
And though the rightfielder went 0-for-4 and is now 2-for-20 this season, Maddon saw some progress in his at-bats. Kapler's last swing, in the eighth inning, looked like a homer until it was caught at the leftfield wall.
"He hit some balls really well," Maddon said. "I thought he had better at-bats tonight and started to square the ball a little bit better. So I thought there was some progress."
Kapler said he sees it as a process and feels "confident that I do the best job that I can possibly do with my mental work and my work I do in the cage." Maddon said Kapler, acquired as a free agent in the offseason, needs repetition, and that's why he got into the lineup against the left-hander Mark Buehrle. Kapler hit .354 against lefties last season.
Kapler has continued to play well defensively, adding a great running catch Saturday to an outfield assist Thursday. He said the fact that he doesn't play every day, platooning in rightfield, has nothing to do with him not yet finding a groove at the plate.
"I've done that before; I've done it well before," Kapler said of the role. "And I'll do it well again."
JUST A START: 3B Evan Longoria received his BBWAA American League rookie of the year award, saying it's a "great honor," especially considering the other names on the list of award winners.
"It's one of those things that it gives me a lot of motivation for this year, and years to come," Longoria, 23, said. "Some of the things we were able to do and I was able to do might never happen again."
Longoria extended his hitting streak to a career-high 10 games.
LOCKED IN: 1B Carlos Peña said the key to his strong start at the plate, with an 11-game hitting streak and five homers and 13 RBIs in his past seven games, has been keeping things simple, focusing on seeing the ball well and trusting his hands.
"He's doing it just right," Maddon said. "He's getting his foot down in time. … He's seeing the ball well, he's not jumpy, not trying to do too much. He's using the whole field. He has a great approach going right now."
Izzy update: RHP Jason Isringhausen threw 27 pitches in two innings in extended spring. He gave up three runs (one earned) on two hits, with his team having two errors. Isringhausen said he felt good and his velocity is up, and he'll do four outings in Double-A Montgomery before joining Durham around April 30.
MISCELLANY: Zobrist is expected to start at shortstop today to give Jason Bartlett a day off. … Maddon will receive his BBWAA American League manager of the year award in a pregame ceremony today. … The Rays have drawn an average of 28,961, a 60.5 percent increase to date over last season (18,040). … Further research by the Rays showed Zobrist's pinch-hit grand slam Friday was the third in club history.

Freecell is a Solitaire-variant where you are dealt all the cards in 8 piles. There are four cells in the top left corner and four foundation piles. You must build the piles from Ace to King by suit. It's a fun game if you've got some time to kill.
All of the Freecell basics are here, plus some neat customizations, such as the ability to modify the background. The auto collect and move alert features help in making the right combinations. The statistics board adds to player engagement.
For being such a simple game, it kills the battery. The interface could be a little bit more intuitive. Large stacks should be moveable without having to break them down. It crashed once when trying to return to the home screen.

Theatre: The Family that No One Talks About
"That show was unlike anything I have ever seen," my friend said with a smile as we walked out of Mixed, Blended, Shaken, & Stirred: Stories about Today's American Family, a part of Washington DC's INTERSECTIONS festival at the Atlas Performing Arts Center on H St NE. It was true—Storytelling is something unique. It is not exactly a play because there is no acting, nor is it a SLAM poetry night, or even an open-mic night because it is rehearsed; I suppose it could be considered a monologue, however it is all truth.
The focus of Friday night's show was family, but not as much family as a whole as I had expected walking in. Rather, the stories danced around the edges of the concept of family and the impact a family has on one's life. The stories covered an individual's personal experience and through that, brought light to their true meaning of family. The show featured the talents of Christopher Love, Jennifer Luu, Mike Kane, David Ferris, Chuck Harmston, and Vijai Nathan. Each took their turn on stage not to act, but to share, open up, and allow for the viewers to relate to their experience and themselves.
The stories touched on many and various aspects of the current American family, including the struggle of a gay man's attempt to donate sperm to a lesbian couple; the affects of a religious conversion to Mormonism in a Buddhist Vietnamese family; the effort to ensure a normal family life for one's children after growing up with a heroin addicted father; the challenges of a cross-cultural marriage into an Indian family as a metro-American man; the drama of growing up in a family of 11 children, 6 of of whom were adopted; and the pressures for a young women to find a husband and have children in today's society.
One by one each storyteller came up to the microphone, stood on the empty stage, and shared a piece of their past. Even in the high-impact environment we are used to experiencing, where actions often speak louder than words, it was refreshing to leave that atmosphere and simply listen to the words, without distraction and without judgment. The emotional reactions of the audience did not feel forced but rather were gently pushed along through the hour-long showcase. The momentum of the stories flowed well as feelings moved with ease from sadness, shock, relief, joy, love, and laughter.
While the stories reached what seemed like every emotion, they came equipped with some hilarious anecdotes (for a sneak preview): such as Love's description of his donated "illicit gay sperm-sicle," to Ferris's bold statement to is Indian father-in-law, "You can't hide the metro-sexual inside!" and ending with Nathan's comparison of prehistoric caveman to the modern day dating scene; "How drunk does a caveman have to be to bang a chimp?"
For an entertaining, unique, and special experience, there are two more opportunities to see this SpeakeasyDC production, this Friday and Saturday, March 4 and 5. I guarantee that you will relate in some way to each story with compassion, laughter, perhaps even tears, and you will definitely walk away with something to talk about.
First time here? See what we're all about... Get involved... Send us a tip!...

It was my pleasure recently to be one of the guest instructors at the First Annual Rowdy Ranch and Rocking S Bucking Bulls Free Riding School. Tough to get all of that onto the event t-shirt!
The event was held by my buddies Lynde Johnson and Sam Medlock at Dusty and Ty Scoggins Arena in Lorena, Texas. After Wichita, I rode back all night to Texas with Harve Stewart at the wheel to get to Lorena for the event. It was fair punishment for Harve, who, the week before, on the way from Texas to Springfield, Mo., slept all but a few minutes of the 7-hour drive!
We arrived in Lorena on Sunday at noon to find a bunch of kids, most between 12 and 14, eager to learn about the sport.
Harve and I gave lessons on two training tools a rider needs to master before he can get on his first real bull. We worked with the kids on the Mighty Bucker simulator and a drop barrel.
It was worth traveling all night to lend a hand. The kids were great, and if Harve and I were able to get them more interested in bull riding, then we did our job while having a great time.

ADELE is reportedly due to give birth in September.
News of her pregnancy only broke last month, but it's claimed the singer has
been living like a hermit to keep her upcoming arrival a seven-month secret.
A source told heatworld.com: "Adele has barely left the house in recent
months, so she could keep this to herself for as long as possible.
The insider added: "She stopped exercising a few months ago, and since then
it's been all about the baby."
Adele, 24, told fans she and boyfriend Simon Konecki were "over the moon" to
be expecting their first child.
The pop superstar — who has been dating Simon, 36, since late last year —
revealed the happy news on her website on June 29.
She wrote: "I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first
child together.
"I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we're over the moon
and very excited but please respect our privacy at this precious time. Yours
always, Adele xx."
At the weekend we revealed the singer is recording an album of nursery rhymes
especially for her nipper – and is playing the tunes to her bump.
A source said: "She has been playing the rhymes to her belly.
"It's so Adele can get her voice as close as possible to the baby so it can
hear as many soothing sounds as possible."

text: InferiorOlive 1065 Report post Posted February 6, 2014 So, I've been watching the Wolfire game-development videos for Overgrowth, and I really like their level-design and art-style. Between their level-design and their basic gameplay mechanics, it seems to really support the feeling of adventuring, and I'm trying to incorporate something like that into my own game. The main difference is that I'm making a 2D platforming-style game. A lot of their ideas seem to depend on the third dimension, but I really don't want to make a 3D game (this is a solo project, and while I'm a pretty decent artist, 3D modeling is something I've never really gotten into). A lot of 2D platforming games rely on a combination of uni-directional platforms (you can stand on them, but jump through them) and flat, ladder-like platforming areas. These aren't necessarily the direction I want my game to go. I just finished the roughest version of my rigidbody-physics engine (there are things to add, but I'm ready to start prototyping with it while I add more), and I'm starting to think about general level-design and what I might need to account for with respect to physics. Without getting too bogged down in the physical details or code (which is why I'm posing in the Game Design forum), I'm wondering if anyone has ideas about how to get a similar feeling of adventure and discovery that the Wolfire development team seems to get. There are no wrong answers, I'm just curious if anyone has thought of anything that I haven't (I'm withholding my ideas for the time-being just to see what people suggest without my biasing input). Thanks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What is Thai Amavasai? Thai Amavasai is the New moon day in the Tamil month 'Thai' (January – February). In 2018, Thai Amavasai is on January 16. On this day, hundreds of people pay obeisance to their ancestors. Thai Amavasai is special for Thithi and Tharpanam. This is also the first Amavasi of Utharayanam.
Huge rush is witnessed at the Triveni Sangamam at Kanyakumari and in Rameshwaram.
Certain devotees will only have one meal on this day.

What is with the weather? After coming off an extremely mild winter in much of the country and in the midst of an unusually warm spring in some areas and cooler temperatures in others, growers will need to ramp up their scouting to stay on top of what is going on in their fields.
Insects are present earlier than usual in the Eastern U.S. as adults survived the mild winter. Weeds are already competing with crops, and in the area
of disease, it may be too early to tell, but one researcher predicts bacterial problems will — at the very least — be the same as in previous years.
"This type of weather scares me," says Mike Orzolek, a professor of vegetable crops at Pennsylvania State University. "There will be similar or more disease problems this year because the winter was so mild that the inoculum survived and is out there. The warm temperatures in the Carolinas enhance the potential to bring the mildews and early blight and, if wet conditions occur, Phytophthora up the East Coast. The potential is there for more disease but will depend on the weather we get in the next two months."
Weeds will also be an issue as weed seeds germinated in the soil about
a month ahead of time in the East. "In Pennsylvania, it is between May 15 and 20 when we see their first appearance," explains Orzolek. Now, we are seeing them about one month early.
"Some growers are going to be caught off guard and will have to increase weed control costs," he continues. "The weeds also will intercept fungicide and insecticide sprays. So basically, the weeds will be competing with the plants."
Western Weather
The mild winter in California, which is typically the wet season in the Golden State, could present issues for growers in the coming months as well, adds
Joe Nunez, a vegetable/plant pathology advisor at the University of California Cooperative Extension. As a result of the atypical winter, the snow pack is down. Nunez says that could lead to a mild drought situation. The reduced snow pack also may mean a reduction in insect pressure, too.
"Insects usually build up in the foothills so they haven't had as much of a chance to build up," he says.
"The light rain has made for less grass and weeds in the foothills which is a major source of California insect pests," Nunez continues. "As the hills dry in the late spring the insects (aphids, thrips, leafhoppers) move to the green fields in the valley."
The warm, dry weather much of the area has been experiencing will also keep many diseases at bay. Unfortunately, though, he says dry conditions are conducive to the spread of powdery mildew, which may be an issue on tomatoes, depending on weather conditions.
On a positive note, Nunez says that diseases that rear their heads in wet years — late blight and downy mildew — will probably not be an issue for
California growers this season.
Too Many Insects In The East
Unlike the West Coast, growers in the East may need to ready themselves for battle against insects this season as many survived the winter. Orzolek predicts there will be an abundance of aphids, thrips, whiteflies, cucumber beetles, "and a bunch of other guys we don't want to see."
Stormy Sparks, a professor of entomology at the University of Georgia, says thrips arrived earlier than expected and in higher populations. In fact, he says a different species of thrips has been showing up in onion fields.
"In general, we do see a variety of species, but on onions we usually see tobacco thrips (Frankliniella fusca)," he explains. "This year, we are seeing a lot of onion thrips in our onion crops and we can't really explain why this is happening. We are not sure if it is related to weather patterns."
About six years ago, onion thrips were present in heavy populations in onion fields in the Southeast and the thought was that they were introduced from outside the U.S., explains Sparks. "This is pure speculation, but typically our populations are so low in onion thrips — we usually have less than 1% of thrips in some fields," he says. "Now we are seeing 5% to 100% in some fields. The mild winter may well have resulted in more thrips and may have caused the shift in species in onions."
The earlier and higher populations of thrips also are of concern as they might possibly result in more tomato spotted wilt virus in a variety of crops, he continues. "In the onion crop, the shift in species has resulted in a shift in the type of insecticide used, as the pyrethroids that provide good control of tobacco thrips provide little control of onion thrips."
In the last month or so, Georgia growers also have seen low populations of spider mites on a variety of plants and have had reports of low populations of fall armyworm in corn. "It is very early in the year for both of these pests," says Sparks. "If the trend continues this could be a bad year for insects in many of our crops. If we are lucky, it will just be an early year."
Although a somewhat grim picture is being painted, Tom Kuhar, an associate professor in the department of entomology at Virginia Tech, says the abundance of insects should include higher numbers of beneficials that may come to the rescue.
"Warm winters do not always result in higher pest densities because the overwintering survival of natural enemy populations will also tend to be higher," Kuhar explains. "In addition, the phenology of the insects with their respective host crops can be altered to the point that the pest populations suffer. Thus, it remains to be seen what pest outbreaks will occur in the 2012 season, but growers should certainly keep a watchful eye on the early spring crops that typically may not have much pest pressure."
Grower Concerns
What are growers saying are their current pest concerns? How will the unusual weather this winter and spring impact their operations? A few from across the country provided feedback on their biggest pest worries and their plan of action.
Hundley Farms, Florida
Tom Perryman, farm manager of Top 100 Grower Hundley Farms, a producer of a variety of vegetables on about 11,000 acres, also is seeing fall armyworm and, like Sparks, is concerned about his sweet corn. In general, he says the pest is ramping up as the region is going through a drought.
"We did have a little rain, but overall it has been very dry," he explains. "Going into May, we could be looking at tremendous pressure."
He also expects to see more silk flies targeting sweet corn. For this pest, however, he has a program in place, rotating products with different modes of action, such as malathion and lambda-cyhalothrin.
The drought-like conditions are also conducive to weed production, says Perryman, as the dry weather has caused herbicides not to react. In the end, he says "we will have everything under control, but I look for our [pest control] costs to go up."
Perryman's biggest issue, however, is when products he depends on — that work — are discontinued by the crop protection companies. This makes finding the best alternatives very difficult, he says.
"I just wish the chemical companies would at least let us have some kind of say in discontinuing products," he explains. "It is one thing if the chemical is regulated out; it is another if the product is going to be discontinued."
Petrocco Farms, Colorado
The loss of crop protection tools also is an issue for Joe Petrocco, vice president of Top 100 Grower Petrocco Farms. The operation produces a variety of crops on 2,500 acres including leaf lettuce, spinach, cabbage, onions, spinach, beans, and more.
According to Petrocco, the loss of endosulfan, which had been used to control flea beetles on a variety of crops, has presented some difficulties. Imidacloprid was used in its place, but he says it doesn't take too long for flea beetles to develop resistance. "The beetles hit the younger seedlings and sprouts, damaging plants, and that makes it difficult to raise those crops," he says. Where the farm has met with more success is in controlling thrips, psyllids, and worms with the use of pyrethroids. "The thrips have become resistant to some of the pyrethroids so we have been using Lannate (DuPont Crop Protection) and spinosads to control the problems."
The operation is no stranger to bacterial infections, either. A combination of rain and 80 to 85 degree days is a recipe for disease. Petrocco says applying copper preventively has been the best option. "We go heavy when plants are younger and back off as the plants get older so we don't see that residue," he adds.
Buurma Farms, Ohio
In the Northeast, Bruce Buurma of Buurma Farms, an operation producing numerous crops from sweet corn to carrots to cucurbits on about 1,500 acres, also says insects will be abundant this season.
An avid motorcycle rider, Buurma says in March he was seeing many insects on his windshield, making their debut way ahead of time. Thrips may be an issue in Georgia, but like Petrocco, Buurma expects a major assault from flea beetles.
"They really hammer our cruciferous crops," he says. "Plus, they move from field to field which makes them hard to target with sprays. To lower the number of flea beetles, we needed the temperature to stay below 32° F for 90 days, and we didn't have anything like that this winter."
As a result of high populations of flea beetles vectoring Stewart's wilt, the disease will be a problem in nonresistant sweet corn varieties. According to Buurma, the farm will monitor its sweet corn and spray pyrethroids on the nonresistant varieties to gain control of the pest and reduce the incidence of disease.
Agreeing with Orzolek, he says weed control will be in full force. Most of the weeds that normally would have been winter killed survived.
"Barley, which is used as a cover crop, wasn't winter killed this year for the first time in a long time and we had to go in and kill it," he explains. "This winter it simply didn't get cold enough to kill it."
River Point Farms, Oregon
In the Northwest, Delbert Gehrke, vice president of Top 100 Grower River Point Farms, an operation producing 6,000 acres of onions, predicts that fungus issues will be rearing their collective heads as temperatures in the area have been cooler than usual. A cool late spring or early summer with humid conditions is conducive for the growth of fungus.
"We are assuming, at the moment, that we will need to be ahead of our fungicide sprays, especially on the coppers and preventative measures," he says.
One fungus the farm battles on an annual basis is Rhizoctonia. Gehrke says the farm experimented with different fumigants to help control the disease but says "the more we experiment, the less we know." Nothing has been a "cure all" for Rhizoctonia, he adds.
"We have been conducting trials with different products but our problem is that we can't get consistency from year to year," Gehrke continues. "That causes us to ask: Was it Rhizoctonia or was it something else? We may be treating other problems because the next year we do the same thing and don't get the same results. It has been a real problem. We have gone back to the drawing board on our treatment trials and will be reevaluating our cause-and-effect assumptions in an attempt to generate repeatability."

Collated results from the National Basketball Association opening-round playoffs today (all series best-of-seven):
Eastern Conference at Boston
Boston Celtics 97 New York Knicks 90 (OT) (New York Knicks leads series 3-1)
At Milwaukee
Miami Heat 88 Milwaukee Bucks 77 (Miami Heat wins series 4-0)
Western Conference at Los Angeles
San Antonio Spurs 103 L.A. Lakers 82 (San Antonio Spurs wins series 4-0)
At Oakland
Golden State Warriors 115 Denver Nuggets 101 (Golden State Warriors leads series 3-1)
LeBron James scored 30 points to lead Miami over Milwaukee and complete a sweep into the second round of the NBA playoffs on Sunday while Boston avoided being swept out by New York.
Defending champion Miami rolled over the Bucks 88-77 to win their Eastern Conference best-of-seven series in four games and become the first team to advance despite guard Dwyane Wade being sidelined by a knee bruise.
Wade will have time to heal. The Heat will not open the second round against Chicago or Brooklyn until Saturday at the earliest.
"The way we are playing, we don't want too much rest," James said. "We just have to continue to work our habits, get space on offence and stay tight on defence."
At Boston, Jason Terry scored the Celtics' last nine points in the final 92 seconds of overtime to lift the hosts over the Knicks 97-90 and pull Boston within 3-1 in that series, whose winner will face Atlanta or Indiana.
The Celtics forced a game five on Wednesday, although no team in NBA history has ever rallied to win a playoff series after losing the first three games.
"The spirit and heart of a champion is what kept us going," Terry said. "They made a great run at us. But we're not dead yet."
The Heat swept a series for the first time since 2005. Miami had taken 3-0 leads in the opening playoff round the past two years but failed to finish off the set in four games either time.
A Monte Ellis jumper pulled Milwaukee within 69-67 before Miami unleashed a 19-5 scoring run that included a 4-for-4 3-point shooting effort, two from beyond the arc by Ray Allen and others by Mario Chalmers and Shane Battier.
When James capped the run with a layup, the Heat enjoyed their biggest lead to that point at 88-72 and Milwaukee's fate was sealed.
"Anytime they were able to test us, we were able to withstand it," James said. "After they would make a run, we were able to counter with one of our own."
At Boston, the Knicks rallied from 20 points down in the third quarter to take the lead at 84-82, only to have Kevin Garnett equalise on a jumper for Boston to send the game into overtime.
Terry, who finished with 18 points, made a 3-pointer with 1:32 remaining in the extra five-minute session that gave Boston a 91-88 lead.
Carmelo Anthony answered with an inside jumper for the Knicks but Terry hit a fadeaway baseline jumper to put Boston ahead 93-90.
Anthony missed a 3-point attempt and Terry added two free throws and a layup to boost the Celtics' final victory margin.
"These are the moments I live for," Terry said. "It's a long series."
Paul Pierce lead Boston with 29 points while Jeff Green added 26 and Garnett had 13 points and 17 rebounds.
Anthony, who has never reached the second round of the NBA playoffs, had 36 points and Raymond Felton added 27 in a losing cause.

Fight Hub TV caught up with Ronda Rousey and Daniel Cormier, who both compete at next month's UFC 170 event, and Rousey explained the origin of her nickname "Rowdy", and Cormier decides he wants to change his nickname.
"You like [Rowdy] Roddy Piper?," Cormier asked Rousey.
"Of course. Obviously. That's where I got the name [Rowdy] from," Rousey replied.
"Really? Nice. Nice. I wanna be Macho Man [Randy Savage] then. I didn't even know that was allowed… [that] we could just take wrestling names," Cormier joked.
Rousey then brought up her appreciation for World Wrestling Entertainment(WWE) wrestler C.M. Punk, and Cormier agreed that he enjoyed his last match as well.
C.M. Punk is a huge fan of MMA, and appears at many UFC events, MMA analyst Karyn Bryant added.
"Did you see when him and Brock [Lesnar] fought at Wrestlemania? They were doing jiu-jitsu," Cormier said. "C.M. Punk threw up a triangle, then Brock did a kimura… Then C.M. Punk did in omoplata… then he threw an armbar, it was like a two-minute grappling sequence."
Rousey and Cormier agreed that exposure gained by the showing of jiu-jitsu technique in professional wrestling matches is beneficial to the mainstream acceptance of competitive grappling.
"That fanbase is becoming much more educated because of them," Rousey said.Tags: Brock Lesnar, C.M. Punk, daniel cormier, Karyn Bryant, mma, MMA NEWS, Olympian, Ronda Rousey, Rowdy Roddy Piper, ufc, ufc 170, ufc news, WMMA, wmma news, wrestling, WWE

When you're a legend, you get to take your time. Brian Wilson famously took 37 tears to finally get his troubled Smile LP released, which makes the five years it took the Stone Roses to underwhelm with their second album a mere extended studio session. As for Dr Dre - he's a master of keeping us waiting, with seven years between his solo debut The Chronic (1992) and its follow-up 2001 (1999, confusingly). It's now been 10 years since that LP and Detox, the rumoured third Dre opus, has remained just that.
Work started on Detox in 2004, but release dates have come and gone with nary a snippet leaked. Until now. In a collaboration that could only have come from an ad man literally thinking, "We're Dr Pepper, let's get another Dr to endorse our drink," Dre has debuted a teaser of Detox in an advert for the Marmite of carbonated beverages. In the ad, Dre plays up his tardiness: "Scientific tests prove when you drink Dr Pepper slow, the 23 flavours taste even better. For me, slow always produces a hit."
Leaving aside that we reckon Dre had no hand in those tests, what with not being a proper doctor (see also Doctors "Hook", "Alban", "Feelgood" and "& The Medics"), what clues does this give to the sonic wonderment awaiting us when he finally releases it? Well, all you get is five seconds of a slow party banger called Shit Popped Off. No lyrics, no hook, no hugely welcome verse from Snoop Dogg. It's the coyest tease possible.
One thing you could usually bank on with Dre was a surprise. After being a 1980s electro pioneer he co-invented gangsta rap. He later formed the G-Funk template, veered away from that after The Chronic, then made 2001 into a more-or-less pure G-Funk classic. His work for Eminem and 50 Cent has been heavy on the hits but light on innovation. Even Relapse, which Dre produced the lion's share of, fails to hint at any new direction. The only real curveball is that he hasn't dropped his solo comeback single on the streets or the clubs, but on the fizzy pop market.
Of course, there are plenty of reasons for the delay. He isn't short of production work, and will doubtless have been distracted by his son's death from a drugs overdose last year. But the main reason could be his perfectionism: Dre's infamous for making the artists he produces re-record their vocals scores of times until he's happy. Almost every artist signed to his Aftermath label has failed to actually release a record, including rap legend Rakim. That said, casting an ear over Dre's production from the last couple of years, it's hard to see where all the hard work has gone; Eminem beats that sound like old Eminem beats? Whither the irresistible choruses of yesteryear? Maybe the truth is that the magic has gone, and Dre is painting himself in a corner trying to recapture it.
Rumours about Detox abound - about guest performances from Jay-Z, Lil' Wayne, Nas, TI, Ice Cube, Snoop and, erm, Fergie - but then they're on everyone's else's albums these days anyway. Maybe this will finally be the year it drops on an expectant world. Either that or we'll hear some more on a Tango advert ...

Criminal Minds 8×23 Brothers Hotchner Scoop From Shemar Moore04/11/2013
Criminal Minds: The Replicator related scoop and more on the season 8 finale from Entertainment Weekly's Sandra Gonzalez
Here's some scoop on Criminal Minds from Entertainment Weekly's Sandra Gonzalez's The Spoiler Room column, which was posted on 4/10/13.
The Replicator is going to rear his ugly head in the season finale of Criminal Minds, and, with a two-hour finale in store, you know it's going to be big. Shemar Moore tells me he's excited about the upcoming clash.
"I think the idea that there's somebody out there who watched our every move and can imitate us and has the audacity and the boldness to reenact these crimes to make us look vulnerable, I think that's interesting," he says. "We are the super team, we are the heroes — we got the guns and the badges — and even though we're saving lives, somebody's playing us at our own game. And I think that's pretty creative."
The show is currently filming episode 23, the first part of the finale, titled "Brothers Hotchner," which brings back Hotch's (Thomas Gibson) brother Sean (Eric Johnson). "It's a Hotch-centric episode," previews Moore, who last week had his own shining hour. "I know it's going to have some depth [and] we're going to delve into Hotch's psyche. It's going to be an opportunity for Thomas to do his thing, and all the while we're going to build up to the Replicator, which we've been teasing the audience with all season." (Possibly related casting: Mark Hamill is set to guest star in the finale. Hmm..)

On the eve of her 39th birthday, the 'Contagion' actress went to a new Spanish restaurant in New York City's West Village accompanied by husband Chris Martin and the powerhouse couple.
Gwyneth Paltrow invited a powerhouse couple to her intimate birthday dinner. On Monday (September 26) on the eve of her 39th birthday, the Holly Holliday of "Glee" celebrated her turning of age early with husband Chris Martin and friends Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z.
Us Weekly reported that the dinner took place at Tertulia, a new Spanish restaurant in New York City's West Village. Despite the celebration, Gwyneth and her companions did not stay out too late. Early the next morning, the "Country Strong" actress was spotted taking her 7-year-old daughter, Apple, to school.
On Tuesday, the actress who takes on the role of Pepper Potts in "Iron Man" franchise took to her Twitter account to express her gratitude for the well wishes. "Thank you for all of my happy birthday wishes, just read so many," so she wrote, "you guys make my life great, thank you xgp."

Seventh-ranked Wisconsin used a seven-goal second period, scoring more goals in 20 minutes than they had in any single game this season, to rout St. Cloud State 9-2 at the National Hockey Center.
Although the game would eventually turn into a laugher for the Badgers, it didn't start out that way.
The Huskies appeared to get on the board first when Erin McNamara, in the lineup only after a game disqualification she had received Friday was changed to a game misconduct, scored on a short-handeded breakaway just four minutes, 11 seconds into the game.
The goal, however, was disallowed as SCSU defenseman Kobi Kawamoto was whistled for interference as she held up a Wisconsin player who was backchecking on the play.
The play would turn the teams' fortunes 180 degrees as the Badgers got on the board, one second after the first Husky penalty expired, when Molly Engstrom rifled a snap shot from the right circle into upper right corner to give the Badgers a 1-0 lead.
It then took Wisconsin just 18 seconds to go up 2-0 as Steph Millar forced a turnover in the right circle and carried the puck across the slot. With no shot available to her, Millar dropped the puck behind her, where Steph Boeckmann flipped the loose puck over a prone Laura Gieselmann for her second tally of the season.
Following Friday's 3-2 loss to Wisconsin, coupled with Ohio State's 2-1 overtime win over Minnesota State, the Huskies playoff hopes were officially ended Friday night and SCSU head coach Jason Lesteberg acknowledged that fact Saturday.
"We played today, like a team that was elminated from the playoffs after yesterday's loss," he said. "When the goal was disallowed, and then they scored on the power play, it took the air right out of us."
The second period opened with Nicole Uliasz setting up Sharon Cole for a tip-in goal at 3:02 before scoring herself four minutes late, giving Wisconsin a 4-0 lead and bringing on a goalie change for the Huskies as Brie Anderson replaced Gieselmann.
Anderson fared little better as Carla MacLeod ripped a shot from the left circle over her glove less than three minutes after entering the game. Both MacLeod and Uliasz would get their second goals of the game before the period was out and Meghan Hunter notched her sixth of the season to give Wisconsin a 9-0 lead.
Both teams changed goalies to start the third period as Gieselmann returned for final period while Meghan Horras made her second, and longest, appearance of the season.
As they did Friday, the Huskies outscored Wisconsin 2-0 in the final period but, in this game, despite a 25-5 adantage in shots on goal during the final 20 minutes, it was too little too late.
Horras made several key saves early in the period during a flurry as St. Cloud State opened the period on the power play but Roxy Stang scored through traffic 1:27 into final frame to avert the shutout.
The Huskies got their fifth and final power-play chance of the game with 1:22 to play following a roughing penalty by Nikki Burish. Tina Ciraulo got the game's final goal with just five seconds remaining when she beat Horras from the right faceoff circle.
Wisconsin outshot it's hosts 29-9 through two periods before the Huskies piled up their highest single-period shot total of the season in the third period to even the game total at 34-34. MacMillan had nine saves through two periods while Horras stopped 23 of 25 shots in the final period. Gieselman finished with 20 saves while giving up four goals. Anderson allowed five goals on 10 shots.
The Badgers (18-6-5 overall, 11-5-4 WCHA) travel to Ohio State next weekend for a pair of WCHA games while St. Cloud State (9-21-0, 4-18-0) is on the road for its final non-conference action of the season, travelling to Detroit, Mich., to face Wayne State.
