The Binghamton Mets looked like they were on their way to a win on Friday night at NYSEG Stadium, and then watched that win fade away and turn into a blowout as the Richmond Flying Squirrels scored eight runs in the final two innings to take game one of the series by a score of 10-3.
Mark Cohoon, making his first start since a nine inning complete game gem against the Harrisburg Senators on August 10th, lasted seven and a third innings in the game. Cohoon cruised through the first four innings of the game, allowing only one hit by Richmond batters in that span. In the fifth inning, Ryan Cavan tripled to score two base runners and give the Flying Squirrels the 2-to-0 lead; however Binghamton would score three times in the next two innings to give Cohoon the lead.
Then came the eighth inning and it all fell apart for Cohoon and the B-Mets. After giving up a single, a wild pitch, and walking a batter Ryan Fraser came on in relief of Cohoon. Cohoon's final line on the night read seven and a third innings pitched, four earned runs on six hits, four strikeouts and a walk. Cohoon threw a total of 100 pitches in the game, 68 of them for strikes. Charged with the two batters that were on base when he left the game, who Fraser eventually let score, Cohoon suffered the loss in the game and his record now stands at seven and nine on the season.
Fraser was ineffective in his relief appearance, lasting only two thirds of an inning and suffering his second blown save of the season. Fraser allowed both runners he inherited from Cohoon to score and gave up an additional two earned runs of his own and by the time he finally got himself out of the eighth inning the B-Mets were looking at a 6-to-3 deficit. Fraser's numbers in his shortest appearance in the last ten games he pitched in read two thirds of an inning pitched two runs on two hits, no strikeouts and one walk.
In the ninth Brandon Moore was brought on to relieve Fraser and the Flying Squirrels batters lit him up just as they had Cohoon and Fraser in the previous inning. Moore, making only his second appearance since a 45 day stint on the DL, threw the entire ninth inning giving up four runs on five hits, walking none and striking out one Richmond batter. Over the last two games Moore has allowed a total of six runs on eight hits and struck out two in only two and a third innings.
Dustin Martin had a big night at the plate for the home team as he went 4-for-4 with a run scored. Sean Kazmar and Juan Centeno each went 2-for-4 in the game, with Centeno now hitting safely in his last five games and equaling his previous season high. Wilmer Flores and Raul Reyes' lines on the night were identical as each went 1-for-4 with a run scored. At game's end, the box score showed that no Binghamton Mets batter had a multi-base hit in the game.
B-Mets Buzz: The two teams go at it again on Saturday night at NYSEG Stadium. Cory Mazzoni (5-3, 3.45) will throw for the home team and Chris Heston (8-5, 2.20) will be on the mound for the Flying Squirrels. With the loss on Friday night, the B-Mets now sit seven and a half games behind the New Britain Rock Cats for the final playoff spot with seventeen games remaining in the 2012 season.

I did, he wasn't totally a catfish. He was real, told some truth but he had lied about many things about it, huge things. He admitted it all step by step and at first I forgave him, like the fact he wasn't living in my city but another about 100km away.
At some the lies were unbearable and I stopped talking to him

It's not all the time that you discover you need a replacement Power Steering Line - Pressure to repair your car or truck. Your Chevrolet dealership isn't the only place to locate the highest quality repair parts to fix your Malibu. While it may not be difficult to find replacement parts for Chevrolet vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the highest quality are required to fix your car or truck. Chevrolet vehicle owners have grown accustomed to a certain level of dependability when driving their Malibu around town.
You never realize what you've got until it's gone, and the same is true for your power steering. If you suspect your Chevrolet Malibu power steering pressure hose has developed a leak, turn the engine on and crank the wheel all the way to the right and then all the way back to the left. If you see a puddle of fluid, then you know there's a problem. Without a power steering pressure hose, you might as well be driving a car from the 1950s. That's because the power steering pressure line on your Chevrolet Malibu is responsible for transporting pressurized hydraulic fluid from the power steering pump to the steering gear. From there, the rack and pinion use the pressure to convert the relatively easy motions you make when steering to very powerful forces that act upon the tie rods... all thanks to the power steering pressure hose.
Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Get your Malibu back on the road with the highest quality replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Procuring new Chevrolet parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement Malibu parts on the internet. When it comes to Chevrolet Malibu Power Steering Line - Pressure parts, you can find them for 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979, 1978, 1977, 1976, 1975, 1974, 1973, 1967, 1966, 1965, 1964 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

Credit Card Center Advertiser Disclosure†
Malking any big ticket purchases? I plan to get my big ticket Xmas stuff out of the way today.
Happy Shopping!!!!
Have fun everyone, missed it by 2 days. Will only receive my new card on Tuesday.
But doing the happy dance nevertheless
New Weathertech floormats for the car. I couldn't find the right ones through ShopDiscover, so I only get 7% back on top of the 10% coupon.
I give Kiva.com credits for the holidays. I guess I could get 2% back on those...
lol the last week of september i've been loading up my shopping carts online. I still had a positive credit of a few hundred on my Discover from having my one of my US open tickets refunded since the match was suspended after an hour until the next day. Did 4 purchases so far this month, 3 today.
Got a $999 Macbook Air for $835.12.
I am so happy to go out and start shopping. So if I shop in a department store today, it will be 7% cashback?
Can't shop had to close my card down due to fraud. Waiting for my replacement card in the mail .
I'm ordering some crystal stemware from an online store that specializes in replacements for discontinued patterns. I'd like to have a full compliment of fine dining pieces before the holiday season starts. Between the 5% for online purchases and the 2% for today, I should net 7% on this purchase. I've been planning on doing this before Thanksgiving anyway, so today seems to be the day to do it.
10-06-2012 12:14 PM - edited 10-06-2012 12:16 PM
Was this on shop discover? That's a 16.5% discount, so did you have another coupon for the mac store? I'm just curious if I could get a deal on an iPod

so i've been griping about my oven for a long time now. it's only 6 years old and i've had nothing but trouble with the dang thing!! so today the hubby and i went to lowes and bought a fridgidaire convection oven. it's being delivered tomorrow!
do any of you have one of these? or just a convection oven? i've never used convection before and i have a big wedding i need to start baking for on thursday. i need your tips, opinions, and feed back. i'm so relieved to have an oven that's not a lemon!
My GE Profile convection oven is 9 years old and I hate it for baking. Convection ovens may have improved since then (I hope!). My advice would be to bake the wedding cake as you normally would and experiment with the convection later.

Navigating Thorny Employment Law Issues in the Construction Sector
Minimizing Employee Claims Over Joint Employer Status, Independent Contractor Misclassification, Davis-Bacon Act Violations and More
Recording of a 90-minute CLE webinar with Q&A
Conducted on Thursday, January 26, 2017
Recorded event now available
This CLE webinar will provide guidance to employment counsel on advising clients in the construction industry regarding compliance with federal and state employment laws, including the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the Davis-Bacon Act, and state wage and hour laws. The panel will discuss unique legal challenges construction employers face and best practices for minimizing and defending claims.
Construction employers face myriad employment law compliance challenges, including meeting federal and state wage and hour law obligations and navigating complex labor relations issues.
Employment counsel advising construction industry employers must understand the current enforcement and litigation environment and help their clients implement effective labor and employment policies and practices that will minimize the risk of noncompliance with federal and state laws. Counsel must also be prepared to defend their construction industry clients in National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) proceedings, Department of Labor (DOL) audits and employee lawsuits.
Listen as our authoritative panel of employment attorneys discusses current employment law trends and case law developments impacting construction industry employers. The panel will outline unique legal issues construction employers face, strategies for proactively implementing policies and practices that help minimize liability exposure, and best practices to defend employee claims.
- Current employment law trends and case law developments impacting construction industry employers
- Wage and hour liability exposure for construction industry employers
- NLRA exposure for construction industry employers
- Best practices for construction industry employers to limit liability exposure
- Defending employers in NLRB proceedings, DOL audits and employee lawsuits
The panel will review these and other key issues:
- What unique wage and hour risks do construction industry employers face?
- What unique labor relations risks do construction industry employers face?
- What are best practices for construction industry employers to ensure compliance with wage and hour laws?
- What are best practices for construction industry employers to avoid joint employer liability?

Polymer Solar Cells: Bringing the Sun's Energy Down to Earth
Governments everywhere are anxious to reduce the dependency of their economies on carbon-based energy. They also face pressure to reduce or eliminate nuclear power. For example, Germany and Japan are phasing out nuclear altogether. But in terms of public policy there are major puzzles for all governments. They ask, what is the right mix of nuclear, carbon, and renewables?
There's no easy answer when other considerations such as energy security, domestic access to natural resources (coal, oil, shale gas), and costs are factored in. But one thing has always been clear, that only renewables can keep the lights on if the nuclear and carbon industries are to tread more lightly on the planet. Hydroelectric is very good for countries with high rainfall and swift rivers. Offshore wind farms sort of work on the North Sea between the British Isles and Norway, but they require massive subsidies from taxpayers. Ironically they are sited over major oil and natural gas fields.
The Sun is ultimate source of natural energy. Photovoltaic conversion of sunlight is environmentally attractive, and can be done on a domestic scale with silicon cells, the efficiency of which is nudging 20%. For the concerned, responsible, consumer there's now a lot of good news about a different kind of device to harness sunlight: organic or polymer solar cells (PSCs). These have the potential to provide lightweight flexible films, easy to manufacture, and with the potential to lower costs.
To shed more light on recent research in this area of photonics ScienceWatch searched the Thomson Reuters Web of Science to find the Hot Papers on "Polymer Solar Cells." The selected research papers were published in the years 2012 and 2013. The search procedure produced 5,068 papers that have been cited 25,639 times in 9,138 articles.
The graph below shows the year-by-year growth of papers on polymer solar cells according to a "topic" search of papers indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection between 2000 and 2013, reflecting roughly 14,000 papers.
In the table below, 20 high-impact papers illustrate that the PSC field is highly interdisciplinary. The top third of this list (#1-6) has papers on device design and the quest for efficiency.

PSCs IN A NUTSHELL
Organic photovoltaic devices are based on organic semiconductors, carbon based materials in which the C-C and C=C bonds are the backbone. PSCs are built up by laying films (typically 100 nm) on a transparent substrate. A photovoltaic cell is, in simple terms, a specialized semiconductor diode that converts visible light into direct current electricity. The active layer of the PSC is a polymer that reacts to sunlight by releasing electrons via the photovoltaic effect. This active layer is sandwiched between two layers of electron donor material and electron acceptor material. Typically those three layers are in turn sandwiched between a metal electrode and a cathode made of the transparent, conductive polymer PEDOT:PSS.
PSCs are currently only found in research laboratories. They are new devices significantly less efficient than the silicon cells that have benefitted from decades of research. However, the ScienceWatch analysis suggests that polymers are fast catching up on silicon. In a nutshell, the story here centers on new materials and new architectures.
ECONOMICS OF PSCs
The backstory linking most of these Hot Papers is that plastic-film cells will have a shorter life than silicon wafer cells; there are problems of stability; and above all the efficiency has to be a minimum 15% of the incoming solar energy converted to electrical energy. The key to addressing these three issues is materials innovation.
The goals of polymer designers are to engineer the bandgap and energy levels to achieve a high short-circuit current density and a large open-circuit voltage. The trick is to find polymers that can transfer from the laboratory to industrial facilities using roll-to-roll technology to build up the multilayer films on a flexible substrate. The processes involved will typically include coating and printing, with hot air drying ovens to deposit layers from a solution.
There's a lesson here from the boom in high-temperature superconductivity a decade ago. The superconducting oxide compounds that incorporate rare-earth elements are brittle ceramics that cannot easily be made into wires. PSC research is strongly focused on low-cost processes that will be scalable from laboratory to factory, suitable for industrial production, and capable of producing solar panels for retail consumer markets.
RECORD HIGH OF 10.6% FOR TANDEM PSCs
Hot Paper #6 is from a group at Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of California, Los Angeles, led by Yang Yang. Tandem solar cells combine two cells with different absorption bands so that they harvest across a broader spectrum of solar radiation. However, the efficiency doesn't automatically increase by simply combining two cells. The materials for the tandem cells have to be compatible with each other for efficient light harvesting.
The technical breakthrough made by UCLA team was to incorporate a low-band-gap–conjugated polymer specially designed for the tandem structure. Their tandem structure consists of a front cell with a larger (or high) band gap material and a rear cell with a smaller (or low) band gap polymer, connected by a designed interlayer. It has an efficiency of 10.6%, which is currently the record for a PSC.
As Yang tells ScienceWatch, "Everything is done by a very low-cost wet-coating process that is compatible with current manufacturing. I anticipate that this technology will become commercially viable in the near future."
The table's top paper, by Zhicai He and colleagues, reports a major advance in efficiency by inverting the PSC structure. This can be thought of as swapping the anode and cathode. The first devices, however, were less efficient. What the researchers at the South China University of Technology have achieved is a PSC with a conversion rate of 9%, a record at the time of the paper's publication.
Unlike previously reported inverted PSCs, based on n-type metal oxides, the device is solution-processed at room temperature, enabling easy processibility over a large surface area. It is fully amenable to high-throughput roll-to-roll manufacturing techniques, and therefore well suited to practical applications in mass production.
High-performance inverted cells that can be fabricated by solution processing are also reported in #18, with an efficiency of 7.4%, and in #20, where the efficiency is 8.4%. Devices with conventional structure perform no better than 6.4%.
The new science reported in the 20 Hot Papers shows that although PSCs are not yet as efficient as silicon solar cells, the cost-benefit analysis in paper #19 suggests that PSCs will soon sweep ahead in terms of mass production at attractive consumer prices.

A common question we're asked is 'what do I do with my old battery!"
As you know car batteries contain chemicals harmful to the environment and if left in the corner of your garage will eventually corrode and make a mess! What you may not know is that you battery is actually worth something, if you take it down to your local scrap metal yard they will make you an offer to buy the battery. You won't break the bank, but the average price for a battery runs around £4 / 5 so it's worth sopping in.
If you're unsure if your local yard takes batteries, give them a call and they'll be able to point you in the right direction.

Sol Campbell has been one of the Gunner's best performers, but that doesn't excuse his recent disappearing act. Meanwhile, things could finally be looking up for Ireland fans. The Republic have every chance of qualifying for Euro 2008.
Steve Staunton was a little bit coy in his reaction to the draw for the Euro 2008 qualifiers, but I think he'll have come away from Montreaux delighted that there's no really outstanding team in Ireland's group.
The Czech Republic are nowhere near as strong as they were a few years ago when they had Pavel Nedved running things in midfield, and you'll probably have a few more of their older, experienced players retiring after the World Cup.
It's also by their standards a very average German side who won't relish playing in front of a full house at Croke Park. From Ireland's point of view, though, there's a definite feelgood factor to be gained from the increased capacity and sense of occasion that'll come from our home games being in Croker.
Another plus is that there are no long, energy-sapping trips to the Ukraine or Azerbaijan, or 'Welcome To Hell' scenarios. All of the teams are known quantities that Steve and Sir Bobby can nip over and see whenever they want.
They'll also get a good sense of Germany and the Czech Republic's strengths and weaknesses from how they perform in the World Cup. From what I've seen of them, they're both big, physical teams who could be vulnerable to the likes of Robbie Keane and Damien Duff running at them at pace.
Most the talk's been about the Germans and the Czechs, but Slovakia are a very useful side who registered six wins and five draws in their World Cup qualifying group, including a highly credible 1-1 against Portugal. They're just as liable to nick points off the others as they are us, so you could end up with the Slovaks as power brokers.
As for the rest of the group – Wales don't have the young players coming through to be a real threat, Cyprus are okay until the first goal goes in and then they crumble, and San Marino are only significant in terms of boosting your goal average.
If Steve goes into the qualifiers confident of who his best 11 players are, there's no reason why we can't grab second spot or even win the group.
Elsewhere, Lady Luck was definitely smiling on England who made mincemeat out of their toughest opponents, Croatia, when they met in Portugal last. Russia are in the doldrums at present, and Israel only got those good results against us because we gifted them silly goals.
Add that draw to the terrific squad of players they've got, and it's no wonder that your Big Phils and Guus Hiddinks are happy to be mentioned in connection with the England manager's job.
I've spoken to a couple of the players recently who've both said that they want Sven's successor to be either English or somebody with Premiership experience like Martin O'Neill.
Despite the public displays of support for him, I know of at least one England regular who's hated playing under Erikson and can't understand how he got to be in charge at both Sampdoria and Lazio.
His team talks are apparently even less inspiring than you'd imagine, which is not a complaint I've ever heard leveled at the two most obvious candidates to replace him, Sam Allardyce and Alan Curbishley.
If you were to pick holes, you could say that Sam's overly fond of the long-ball game and Alan's too much of a disciplinarian, but otherwise they're both ideally suited to the job.
The FA might decide to interview Mrs. Allardyce and Mrs. Curbishley as well to make sure that there are no marital skeletons in the cupboard! They certainly don't want a repeat of Sven's bedroom antics.
The other big talking point at the moment is Sol Campbell, who I'm afraid I only have limited sympathy for. If an Arsenal trainee or reserve had done a disappearing act like that at half-time, he'd have been hauled before the manager and fined. Sol has got off scot-free because he is – or maybe was – one of their best players. To me, he looks like somebody who's fallen out of love with football and therefore isn't giving his employers value for the £3 million a year they're paying him. As for reports that he wants to become an actor and has taken on a movie agent, Sol Campbell should be concentrating 100% on Arsenal, not plotting his future career outside the game. A lot of players have personal problems and/or a loss of form, but they don't go AWOL at halftime and make themselves unavailable for selection during an injury-crisis.
The good news at Highbury is the arrival of young Theo Walcott who aged 16-and-a-bit looks just as impressive as Wayne Rooney did. People keep banging on about Joey Barton, but he's the one player who with some good performances could play his way into the England squad before Germany.
Finally, I don't think anybody connected with Newcastle will be shedding tears for Graeme Souness, whose lack of tactical nous was at times breathtaking. He bought badly, had Alan Shearer leading the line when he patently doesn't have the legs for it, and generally failed to get what he should of out of an expensive squad of players.b
They're one of the tastiest sides in the UK, but Arsenal's relatively low standing in the league shows there's little use in stringing fancy passes together if you can't mix it up when the going gets rough.Read More

Don't be self-conscious. You look fine, the first picture is taken at a slightly odd angle though :P
But seriously, there's nothing wrong with the way you look! But most importantly, not everyone is chasing appearances :) Though I don't speak for all women/people, being kind, intelligent and respectful makes a person far, far more attractive that outward appearance.
Also: A smile goes a long way ;)10|10|0
Thanks for your advice. I'll try to treat a girl nice and respectfully as an equal.

Heart Pounding! Special Live Act Part 1 (ドッキドキ!! スペシャルライブ PART 1) is the 16th episode of Aikatsu! TV anime series and the 16th episode of its "1st Season" (
Ichigo nervously attends her first meeting with Mizuki's staff as they plan for her next concert. Later, Ichigo trains to do Special Appeals. She begins to grow frustrated at the realization that she can't match up to the top idol; whose attitude of her junior starts to change.
Ichigo is worried that she won't be able to do a good job with Mizuki so Aoi and Ran try to calm her nerves by saying they will be there to support her. She voices that she is very happy to be with Mizuki and is excited, which causes them to start wondering if she has strong nerves or if she's too dense.
Later on, Ichigo looks for the meeting room and she finds a bunch of people inside there. She notices the way Mizuki is acting and it is pointed out that Ichigo should be greeting everyone in the room. They seem to be impressed with how lively Ichigo is, and Orihime comes in to join them. The meeting gets started after to discuss Mizuki's Premium Shiny Stage Performance, where it is revealed that they got fifty-thousand audience members within two seconds and plan to use the Aikatsu System in order to change stages within seconds.
They also plan to make a Mizuki cafe, shop, and even a contest to deem which girl is the most like Mizuki. All of this impresses Ichigo, while everyone else seems completely straight faced about it. There are one-thousand staff members and Mizuki introduces herself to them, then she introduces Ichigo as the second performer, who will sing about two songs. After being asked to introduce herself, Ichigo struggles to think of something to say until promising not to lose before Mizuki before being seated. Everyone is still very supportive of Ichigo and they all seem to enjoy her fresh and perky behavior.
They move onto the next discussion with the meeting, involving which songs they will put into the performance. They have written everything down on a program and Mizuki mentions an idea to start with some happy, exciting songs. Everyone makes suggestions and they begin to discuss how they can improve attention on her until the meeting ends.
Ichigo is highly worn out from it when Mizuki has her come to go on a walk. They go outside when Ichigo points out that Mizuki has began to address her differently. Just as the trio wonder how things are going, Ichigo and Mizuki happen to walk by them, but Ichigo does not return their attention.
Suddenly, Honoka shows up to inform them that Ichigo's training from hell is about to begin. Ichigo watches as Mizuki jumps on a giant trampoline to make an alternate pose in the air. Ichigo is surprised and when her turn begins, she returns with less-than great results. Mizuki tries to encourage Ichigo by explaining to them the alternate appeals idols can do and how they work. She voices that Ichigo probably did her Special Appeal by a stroke of luck and it is nothing more, because only pro-idol can use special appeals with ease.
Meanwhile, Aoi and Ran are going over the same thing. Ran mentions that Mizuki is the only idol that can do the maximum three appeals in one turn, and this is believed by everyone to be the reason why she is as talented as she is.
Mizuki continues to explain Special Appeals to Ichigo but they are forced to stop when Mizuki has to leave for a job. She compliments Ichigo for trying and Ichigo is left wondering what she may need to do in order to achieve a Special Appeal.
Late that night, Aoi gets a call from Honoka and she finds Ichigo practicing on the trampoline. She had gotten a feeling that Ichigo skipped dinner to keep training, so she wanted Aoi to come and check on her. The trio begin to prepare something for Ichigo and when meeting up with her, she discusses the training she was doing before they begin to discuss Special Appeals. They try to encourage Ichigo by saying that she is not a top Idol so the best isn't expected of her, but Ichigo is bothered by this since she doesn't want people overlooking her flaws just because she is a rookie. She recalls that Mizuki questioned this earlier when she claimed not to mind very much.
Ran tells Ichigo to finish eating, then she brings her back to the dorm room to show her Mizuki's homepage. She points out how excited all of Mizuki's fans are in their comments and Ichigo begins to realize that she can't keep making excuses for herself when it comes to such crucial things. She thanks Ran and decides she will give her all in order to be able to reach three special appeals.
She spends the following day practicing and training but still cannot reach the right answer to tell her what else she needs to reach such goals.
Eventually the day before the concert arrives. Mizuki tells Ichigo to just put all of her effort into it and to give the rehearsal everything she can. Ichigo then asks Mizuki why she's suddenly begun to address her differently, and Mizuki mentions that it is proper to do so for someone who can stand on the same stage as herself. But she tells Ichigo not to hold back either and they go to change, picking the coords chosen for the performance before they appear on stage, where they sing to "Idol Activity!"
After the performance, Ichigo thinks about how she was only able to perform one special appeal. When she comes across two of the staff members, they claim she did a very good job and she continues outside. Mizuki approaches Ichigo and asks her why she feels down, though Ichigo claims it to be nothing. Only to admit her disappointment in only performing one Special Appeal. Mizuki claims that just because she only did one today doesn't mean she wont be able to do three tomorrow, because Idols have to keep moving forward and being frustrated will actually encourage Ichigo to keep going. This advice makes her feel a lot better and she decides to spend whatever time she has left training, which causes Mizuki to realizes that Orihime had actually been right about Ichigo.

text: By SAMANTHA CRITCHELLNEW YORK (AP) â¿¿ From delicate purple skirts to thigh-high boots in lizard, New York Fashion Week opened Thursday with an anything goes vibe for fall. The first of eight days of previews included lots of options from Richard Chai and BCBG Max Azria. "The trend is freedom," said Azria, who sent embroidered tunics, fur outerwear and delicate lingerie-style underpinnings down his runway. Chai focused on women's metallic military jackets and slim, ladylike purple skirt suits with man-tailored shirts underneath. Men shared the runway dressed in plaid suits and lean overcoats. In addition to seasonal greens, berry tones and regal blues popped up on catwalks set up at Lincoln Center and around the city. More than 100 shows are planned through Feb. 14 at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week drawing editors, retailers, stylists and bloggers. The hordes shift to London, Milan and Paris after that. BCBG MAX AZRIA Azria and his design partner, wife Lubov Azria, were inspired by Istanbul's architecture and the Gypsies of southern Europe. Printed boxy shift dresses were worn over fluid lingerie-like underpinnings. Long vests â¿¿ both fur and cashmere â¿¿ topped cozy crewnecks. There were more layers, with leather leggings or lizard thigh-high boots that appeared to peek out from the hemlines of dresses and sweaters. "It sounds a little crazy, but it's also a little bit hippie. It's different than what we've been doing," Max Azria said backstage. Why the change for fall from more structured styles the two went with for spring? "My wife likes it all. She likes the colors, the prints, the textures. She likes to see a melange," he said. RICHARD CHAI Chai put on a little edge, but he kept his collection neat and trim. He is among a few designers to include men and women on the same runway. Though they walked one by one, the crowd surely could envision couples: She in a metallic, military jacket and pencil skirt, he in a plaid suit.

Gary Shoats Is A Passionate Ski Instructor
Gary Shoats is an enthusiastic ski instructor for almost 10 years. He is an engineer-turned-ski instructor whose choice fulfills his passion for skiing, people and the outdoors. Having skied since the age of fifteen, he has always dreamed of being a ski instructor. His passion has grown since his early days of kid's camps and beginners. Till now, he has taught to the people from all ages, abilities and disciplines. His emphasis is on ski improvement, instructional techniques, coaching, as well as mountain orientation. Whether a beginner, young or an experienced expert, he is proficient in teaching them all. He is always interested in learning the new techniques of skiing and snowboarding.
Gary Shoats is not only a one of the most requested instructors for skiing but he is also trained to handle adaptive skiing equipment. Whether the students are new to the sport or interested in pursuing advanced skills, he truly enjoys working with his students to further their enjoyment of skiing. He understands the potential anxieties and challenges that this involves particularly fear of the beginners. He is also great at encouraging his students and putting them at ease. He is known for his adaptability to teach anybody. In summers, he works as a mountain bike guide. His favorite place for skiing is South America.
When asked Gary Shoats about what is the best part of teaching skiing, he said, "My specialty is in sharing my skills for skiing with our guests and at the same time helping them to develop skills for a lifetime of enjoyment of a wonderful sport. As I grew up near a ski resort so it was easy for me to move in this direction. I think a teaching person the art of skiing is fun, easy, and endlessly rewarding." He advises that patience and people and good communication skills are required to top the list of instructors. Other than skiing, he also specialises in mountain climbing and biking and other mountain adventure sports.

Having obtained three out of the six expansions for the Voice of Isengard cycle (I know, I know, I'm extremely slow), I have fought my fair share of Dunlandings. I have found the card draw hate interesting and have, for the most part, enjoyed it. However, this Time mechanic deal…
I know I'm late (very late) to the Time discussion and forgive me if I repeat what someone else has already said, but I have found the Time mechanic experience to be rather lacking. It makes the game lose something. The quests in which Dunlandings pop up when the last Time counter is removed can get repetitive and seem very linear. Basically, it's a mechanical mechanic.
Quests that are diverse, flavorful and unpredictable are the ones that are the most enjoyable and memorable (the Foundations of Stone being one of those). Unfortunatly, the Time mechanic does not necessarily make a quest diverse or flavorful. There are some quests in which it works well such as Trouble in Tharbad. There are quests in which deciding which location to travel to takes on a new meaning thanks to it. However, many quests fall flat while trying to let the Time mechanic carry the theme. The Time mechanic does better as a side device as opposed to being the main distinguisher of the quest.
I can only imagine how hard it is to sublty insert a mechanic into a quest. Nevertheless, I believe that the Time mechanic would work better this way. Taking a time counter off every round seems a little forced (no pun intended). Of course, I have no idea how to do it better. I'm just musing here. I do think the designer's of the game have done a great job so far. There are bound to highs and lows in that kind of job. Thankfully, for this game, I think the highs far outweigh the lows.

Today was time to plan the menu and the big bi-weekly shopping trip. The challenge this week is that when it is just the boys and I we don't go through food quite as quickly, so I have some ingredients leftover from the last big shopping trip which I need to use up.
So, I found myself staring at the baskets of limes and lemons I keep on the shelf in my kitchen, thinking about what to do with them before they went bad?
I thought about making lemon and lime curd, but since the girls moved out that goes bad before I eat it up.
The other night during a class I was leading, someone mentioned a whiskey sour and I've kind of been craving one. The problem is that I hate the sour mix that is used in bars with a passion. That nasty artificially flavored high fructose corn syrup is something that I wrote off years go.
I decided to experiment. I tweaked a recipe I found online by making a citrus simple syrup and adding freshly-squeezed juice.
Sour Mix
1 cup of water
1 cup of raw cane sugar
grated zest of lime and lemon
1/2 cup lime juice
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
To begin with place the water and the citrus zest in a sauce pan. Add the sugar and stir until it is dissolved. Bring this mixture to a boil and allow it to simmer for about five minutes. Remove the sauce pan from the heat, cover it and let it sit until completely cool.
In the meantime you can be squeezing the limes and lemons. Strain the citrus juice into a jar and when the above mixture is cooled completely, strain it in to the juice. It is really that easy.
This can be used in margaritas and whiskey sours, but you can also just add a tablespoon to a glass of sparkling water to make a quick glass of lemonade. I will warn you though that this recipe is more on the sour side than sweet. I like a good tangy glass of lemonade-not sugar water.
I also took the leftover citrus rinds and put them in the half gallon jar and covered them with apple cider vinegar. I will let this steep for a couple of weeks in the herb closet and then will strain this and use it to make summery vinaigrette.
