There's a saying in sports: 'Act like you've been there before.' On Wednesday night the Branson School volleyball team acted and played like it was going to its fourth consecutive North Coast Section Division V final. That's because the Bulls are.
Top-seeded Branson opened up insurmountable leads in each of the three games, overwhelming No. 4 Marin Academy on its way to a 25-13, 25-20, 25-14 sweep in the semifinals held at College of Marin. Branson will play No. 3 St. Joseph Notre Dame of Alameda for the D-V championship on Saturday at 7 p.m. at COM.
"Obviously we're so excited to get to the NCS final, we just want to remember that it's just one game, so we stay calm," said Branson's setter Gaby Steiner, who had 28 assists, 12 digs and five aces. "We try to stay grounded and not get so excited that we can't play in control. We're just working to get to the next match."
The story for the Bulls (37-3) was numerous scoring runs in each game that proved too much for the Wildcats to overcome. In Game 1 the Bulls won seven of eight points to build a 12-6 lead. Later, up 18-12, Branson scored the next six points before closing out the opening game.
In Game 2, the Bulls used strong serving from Steiner to score seven consecutive points, including three aces, to race to a 12-3 advantage. The Wildcats (24-12) fought back, pulling to within four points on four separate occasions (16-12, 19-15, 22-18, 24-20) but did not have enough to claw back in as Branson took a 2-0 lead.
"We did a really good job executing the game plan, but we did a great job serving," Branson coach Michelle Brazil said. "They had trouble running their offense."
With Michelle Pereira on the line to begin Game 3, the Bulls won the first eight points and ran away to clinch the match.
Branson's scoring runs were helped by its defense, keeping the ball up and keeping the rally going. Sarah Wallace (14 kills, 10 digs) Grace Roberts-Burbank (six kills), Jordan Winters (six kills), and Cassie Chuljian (12 digs) all highlighted the Bulls' night.
"We were ready for MA because we know that they're very consistent and they shot a lot of the time they hit, so they placed the ball in really good spots," said libero Whitney Hansen, who led the team with 19 digs. "We were out of system a lot, but we just kept the ball in play. We were just ready to stay deep and run everything down."
"We were just a little bit inconsistent, there were times when we were able to find a rhythm and start competing and start really playing great," MA coach Craig Wong said. "There were other times when were a little bit out of sync. A lot of that had to do with Branson, they served really well. When we struggled with our serve-receive and passing, that makes it a little bit tougher."
The Wildcats were led in kills by Keli Sherwood with six, followed by Beca Mathieson and Hannah Wilton with five apiece. Mathieson also had 10 digs and Sherwood had nine digs with four blocks. Anna Dawson chipped in with 19 assists and eight digs.

Is the season halfway over already?
Well, not quite. But the Ducks will play their 40th game tonight against Phoenix, meaning their regular season is almost halfway done. That means it's time to dissect why they will or will not participate in the postseason come April.
These Ducks have been difficult to get a handle on, with momentum coming in fits and starts and flashes of their potential tempered by lackluster stretches.
Complicating matters is the wacky Western Conference, where a victory can vault a team to fifth one night while a loss can drop them to 12th on another.
The rest of the league needs to catch up to the Ducks in terms of games played but we've seen enough to provide three reasons for optimism/pessimism, or at least we think we've seen enough.
You can let us know, because here we go with …
Three Reasons Why the Ducks Will Make the Playoffs:
1. They are a second-half team. Anyone who has followed the Ducks in recent years knows they don't come alive until after New Year's Day. Even last season the Ducks were 23-14-4 in the second half of last season. They went 21-18-2 in 2008-09 but that season ended in a Game 7 loss in the Western Conference semifinals. They went 28-10-3 in the second half of the 2007-08 season. The second half of the season officially begins Sunday.
2. The schedule tilts in their favor. After a first-half blitz that saw the Ducks play 23 games in the first 45 days and 40 games in the first 82 days, the schedule gives a little. The Ducks have 22 home games and 19 on the road after Jan.1, and they get their longest road trip out of the way in late January with a four-game trip before the All-Star break. They also only have three back-to-back sequences, and one of those is the regular season-ending back-to-back with the Kings. The Ducks had nine back-to-backs in the first half of the season.
3. They have movable pieces for the trade deadline. General manager Bob Murray isn't afraid to shake things up as we saw at the 2009 trade deadline that brought in a revamped stellar defense. January is a crucial month to see if the Ducks will be buyers or sellers, and they have bargaining chips to improve their makeup. Paul Mara and Andreas Lilja have been reduced to part-time players because of the logjam on defense and would be ideal pickups for contenders, while ESPN has speculated that Joffrey Lupul could be trade bait to get defense although his salary might scare off teams.
Then again, here are …
Three Reasons Why the Ducks Won't Make the Playoffs:
1. The numbers don't look good. The Ducks entered Tuesday ranked 10th in the Western Conference, just one point out of the top eight. But they had played a league-high 39 games, and all but two other teams in the West had at least three games in hand. The Ducks had 17 regulation losses, the second-most in the West, and were one game above .500. Last season the eighth-seeded team in the West, Colorado, finished 13 games above .500.
2. Their defense won't get them there. While the Ducks have depth offensively, their forwards need to pick up their two-way play and the defense has to be safer in their own zone. The Ducks entered Tuesday with a minus-16 goal differential, the second-worst in the Western Conference. Goalie Jonas Hiller can often carry the team, but when he has an off night the Ducks haven't shown they can pick up the slack.
3. Their third line hasn't established an identity. The Ducks don't need the third line to score, but a goal every now and then wouldn't hurt. Of those that have played there regularly, only Lupul and Brandon McMillan have more than one goal. The others – Dan Sexton, Nick Bonino, Kyle Palmieri are either not up with the club or haven't produced offensively. This group could be more of a checking line that occasionally scores but that doesn't jibe with Lupul's offensive prowess. Bonino has earned a stay with his overall play at center, but the Ducks need more from this group if they are to hold their own with the Detroit Red Wings and Vancouver Canucks of the West.

A Novato man charged with trying to kill a 90-year-old Greenbrae resident during a burglary this year lost a motion to get the case dismissed Thursday.
Samuel Cutrufelli's lawyer, during an extended hearing that began last week, tried to get the entire case tossed on claims that authorities violated his due process rights.
The lawyer, Deputy Public Defender Kathleen Boyle, argued that Cutrufelli was denied access to legal counsel during the week he spent at Marin General Hospital. Cutrufelli, 30, was shot three times by the Greenbrae resident, Jay Leone, who kept five guns in his house.
Boyle also argued that the defense was compromised when Leone's insurance company hired a "residential disaster reconstruction" team to clean up the blood-spattered house. The cleaners tore out bloody carpeting and moved two bullets th police had overlooked, thus depriving defense attorneys a chance to examine the unaltered crime scene themselves, Boyle said.
Prosecutor Dorothy Chou Proudfoot noted that it was the insurance company, not the police, who ordered the house to be cleaned up. Proudfoot also said that Cutrufelli was given access to a public defender as soon as he was released from the hospital and booked into jail.
The hearing also included testimony from Brooke Moller, a labor attorney who dated Cutrufelli for several months while he was estranged from his wife, Victoria. Although Cutrufelli's family was not allowed to see him in the hospital, Twin Cities police did not stop Moller from doing so, undercutting the argument that police denied him access to a lawyer.
But the police, citing security reasons, would not leave Cutrufelli's hospital room while Moller was there, according to her testimony. So they arranged for her to speak to him by phone from a room down the hall, and she left after a brief conversation during which Cutrufelli answered "yes" or "no" questions. Moller was never engaged to represent him in the case, and said she has not seen him since the brief hospital visit.
Judge Andrew Sweet agreed that there was no indication that Twin Cities police took any statements from Cutrufelli in the hospital, thus there was no ill-gotten evidence to suppress. He also said that police were correct to detain Cutrufelli at the hospital even without criminal charges in place, because of his severe injuries and the possibility he might try to escape.
"The government, that is the police and the district attorney's office, acted quite reasonably under the difficult circumstances it was presented with," Sweet said.
The judge set a trial for Aug. 8, and ordered Cutrufelli's bail set at $2 million.
The shooting occurred at about 10:45 a.m. Jan. 3 at Leone's home on Via La Cumbre. Police said Cutrufelli entered the home, detained Leone at gunpoint and searched the residence for property.
At the preliminary hearing, Leone testified that he was able to get one of his guns and confront Cutrufelli. Leone said Cutrufelli shot him once in the face, whereupon Leone returned fire and struck the suspect three times.
Leone called 911 from his house, and Cutrufelli called 911 after stopping his car just over the San Rafael border. Cutrufelli said he had shot himself and needed medical attention, police said.
The district attorney's office charged Cutrufelli with two counts of attempted murder, one for the gun he fired, the other for an empty gun he allegedly tried to use. Cutrufelli is also charged with residential burglary, residential robbery and firearms offenses by a felon.
Cutrufelli previously served a six-year prison term for an incident in 2001, when he attacked a Novato pedestrian who complained about nearly being hit in a crosswalk. Authorities said Cutrufelli, who had been drinking at a downtown bar, got out of the car, smashed a bottle over the 22-year-old victim's head, and used a folding knife to stab him four times and cut tendons in his right hand.

A bill that would help protect greater Nebraska against forest fires advanced through the Unicameral Monday.
The bill is sponsored by freshman Sen. Al Davis, who ranches near Hyannis.
Under the bill, the Nebraska Forest Service would contract to place two single-engine air tankers near Chadron and Valentine to be ready to combat wildfires.
Davis said the planes, along with other provisions of the bill, would cost $1.7 million. He said the cost of preventing or reducing fires is less than the cost of doing nothing.
This program should have been placed a long time ago, Davis said. We are moving into what appears to be a hotter and drier period in history. Fires are going to be stronger, harder, more severe and its time the state started taking some responsibility and be proactive rather than reactive.
In 2012, 1,570 wildfires burned more than 500,000 acres of land in Nebraska.
By stark contrast, in 2011, Nebraska wildfires burned less than 37,000 acres.
Source: Nebraska Emergency Management Agency.
Lyons and Berndt said the majority of the fires were caused by lightning strikes and fueled by dry trees and crops, known as dry fuel -- the result of last summers drought and high temperatures.
More to battle red cedars
But senators thoroughly discussed another contributor to the wildfires: red cedars.
The tree that is technically a fire intolerant weed, makes fires more rampant. The trees have to be trimmed because their seedlings spread rapidly, increasing the potential for wildfires.
Davis said $600,000 in state money for the Fuel Reduction Program, alongside federal money and Natural Resources District funds, would be spent to try to eradicate the red cedar problem.
Sen. Kate Sullivan of Cedar Rapids said she didnt want to get to the point where landowners would wait for grant money to take care of their cedars.
It is a problem that to a certain extent should never have happened if the landowner was doing his or her due diligence and taking care of those cedar trees before they got to be a problem, Sullivan said.
Over time Ive seen hills just blackened because the landowner just doesnt take care of those cedar trees and then they get to be too big and you cant do it with anything other than burning or mechanical eradication, Sullivan said.
Davis said, Most people are working pretty hard at the red cedar problem.
They were planted as wind break for many, many years and never had a problem but we have a new and sort of a more vigorous plant thats out there taking over the acreage, he said.
Two committee amendments to LB 634, introduced by Sen. Tom Carlson of Holdrege, were adopted with no votes against them.
The amendments added an emergency clause and eliminated the requirement for a Nebraska incident management team to assess fires because it exists in current statutes.
Carlson addressed concerns about spending and said the loss to individuals and the state would be too great not to pass the bill.
Thats why I say this is a savings bill, not a spending bill, he said.

Sinus and dental implants
I have 2 long dental implants that actually go through the sinus cavities and attach to my cheek bone. For 2-1/2 years I have had one sinus infection after the other and 2 sinus surgeries. I would like to know what the dental community's position is on such a practice and if the dental implants could be causing the sinus problems. In 2000 the implants went in and I had no problems for years. Thanks.
In general, there has not been an increase in sinus problems associated with dental implants. Chronic sinus problems are endemic in some parts of the country and occur regardless; most infections associated with dental implants near the sinus occur shortly after their placement, as a surgical complication.
I don't have enough information to give you specific advice, but I can relate to you that it is rare for dental implants to be the cause of sinus infections so long after their surgical placement.

Hi All,
Although I have a little bit of experience with labview I am fairly new to serial communication. I want to use my serial port and if needed a USB 6008 to control a digital potentiometer MCP4161. Unfortunately I don't have the budget to invest in other acquisition hardware so might have to work with what I have.
I see that it needs 3 inputs in order to change the resistance:
1) Clock in
2) Data read enable
3) The bits that correspond to wiper position (resistance).
I understand I can't get the clock output from the USB-6008? However is it possible to get this from the serial port? I could use a digital line on the USB-6008 as the read enable. The bits from the wiper position come from the serial port? (Does anyone have any suitable examples on this? I presume it would use VISA?)
Thanks in advance for your help. I think with a kick start I should be able to come up with a solution
Thanks Albert for your prompt suggestion.
Just to clarify. do you mean using two digital output lines? Could I just use one and send it high and low based on the frequency of my loop? (This is what you mean by software timing? ) Also with the output from the rs-232 port is there any examples you can point me to?
The SPI protocol requires 4 lines: Clock, MISO, MOSI, and Enable. If you are not reading data from a device then you can drop MISO. As Albert mentioned, you can use the "bit-banging" approach to create the clock and data out (MOSI) signal. The enable line can be a separate line.
I do not understand what you mean by serial out. The RS-232 lines have different voltages on them than what the digital pot would expect, since the voltages for SPI are not the same as for RS-232.
Hi, Finally understand what you mean. However I had a go at writing some code with little success
Attached is the code I wrote and the data sheet for the device I am trying to program. Any thoughts on where I could possibly going wrong would be helpful.
I did not check your complete program but the doubling of the data anyhow is wrong.
You best can do that where you write the outputs. Instead of writing out once write in an extra for loop inside the one you have now. the clock once straight and once inverted and twice the same data.
Hi Albert,
Once again thank you for your prompt reply. I dont completely understand your message and why looping through an array with digital values is different from looping through in a while loop and setting the values individually ? If this is what you mean?
So to make this process a little easier I improved the commenting on the code a little more. Also in the MCP data sheet I basically used the timing diagram on Pg 42 Figure 6.4. 16 bit SPI waveform mode 0,0. Relevant txt is from pg 45-49
I assume the first 6 bits are command bits and then the 7th bits is nothing and the final bit 0 is nothing (Dont understand why there are 9 bits in the diagram when it is only an 8 bit resistor).
So my pot is a 10k pot. When I run the code as is with a requested value of 6K its ok. But every other value is incorrect. I have a feeling it has to do with the order in which I am outputing each bit but again I am unsure what is wrong.
Thanks again for your help.
to give you an idea what I meant I changed your program but did not check it against the pot meter spec.
I expect some bits to be wrong because of my simplicity in converting your program but the idea makes it simpler.
One of the problems I had with the fact that the clock was not generated as a real clock in the beginning and the end.
This can better be solved by writing digital bits before and after the for loop that writes now.
anayhow it show what I mean.
sir,i am also using mcp41010..your write digital pot programme can not work..and please give me connection diagram and programme for it.

A "BRIGHT AND INDEPENDENT" New Inn pensioner is celebrating her 100th birthday today.
Florence Thomas was born in Smethwick, Birmingham – the youngest of 11 children.
During the war she worked in a Swallow Raincoats factory, before marrying Raymond Thomas, from Griffithstown, when she was 21.
With a lack of petrol to power cars the couple spent time cycling back and forth their families in Torfaen and Birmingham.
Then in 1941, they set up home in Pontypool, where they had two children, Barbara and Michael.
Her daughter called Mrs Thomas a "lovely lady".
"She has always been very bright and she is extremely independent," she said.
"Up until a couple of years ago she used to go on holiday, on her own, two or three times a year.
"She loved coach trips."
Mrs Thomas will celebrate with family at a party today. The Mayor of Torfaen is also expected to pay her a special visit.

There has been a lot of wrong way and not nearly enough takeaway for the Chargers so far. Too much turnover to expect many turnovers.
Injuries prematurely depleting the Chargers' tenuous depth is the primary reason this team is in trouble already, facing essentially a must-win game in the fourth week of the season. But there is also little chance a team not equipped on a straight-up talent-against-talent basis can stem the bleeding unless they also start make game-changing plays on defense.
"We better start getting turnovers," linebacker Jarret Johnson said. "Because the key stat to winning and losing in this league is turnovers."
Indeed. Of the 13 teams with a positive turnover differential through three games, 12 had winning records. Conversely, all but two of the 14 teams with negative differential had losing records.
The Chargers, counting the fumble charged to Danny Woodhead on the final frenetic kickoff return Sunday at Tennessee, have given the ball up four times while taking it away only once.
The winless Pittsburgh Steelers are the sole team with no takeaways this season. The Houston Texans (2-1) are the only other team to have one takeaway, though they certainly capitalized on that one, turning it into a game-tying touchdown on opening night in San Diego.
Not since the first snap of the season, when nose guard Cam Thomas caught Johnson's deflection of a Matt Schaub pass, have the Chargers taken the ball from their opponent.
There are many factors that go into the creation of turnovers.
The Chargers defensive line is generally not winning its battles, the pass rush disappeared in Nashville, the Chargers secondary can hardly keep the other team from catching the ball let alone actually catching it themselves.
Football players and coaches will also tell you takeaways come in bunches and involve a certain amount of luck.
But there is a problem that supersedes all those factors – that the Chargers' lack of players has shown up in, among other areas, an inability to force the action.
They lack the thieves. And even if that statement is eventually proved wrong or no longer accurate, it is the case now, if largely because they started the year with so much newness and then got newer due to injury.
They began the season with five new starters at the 11 defensive positions. They have yet to start the same two inside linebackers in a game. They have started three cornerbacks and have rotated a half-dozen players through three secondary spots.
Sure, anyone can make a takeaway, but he generally won't do it while thinking too hard. Missteps and/or hesitation kill any chance at takeaways.
Linebacker Donald Butler returning after a week's absence, along with the guy who will for the first time line up next to him, could help fix that.
"You have guys out there that aren't sure what to do," said Butler, who played one snap Sunday due to a groin strain. "They're not playing fast; they're guessing. But that comes with having your guys in there communicating together. We haven't had all of our guys together. You need that camaraderie as a defense. We haven't quite gotten there yet.
"We're getting there. We're getting some guys back. Me and Five-0 will be in there, and it will be on the up side."
Five-0 is Manti Te'o, the rookie who has yet to play but will make his debut Sunday at a time when the Chargers can certainly use him.
It's a shame that jokes revolving around Te'o are months past played out, because the Chargers' defense so far has been mostly invisible.
Now, as a rookie who participated in just two weeks of training camp and two series in a preseason game, Te'o will be doing just what much of the rest of the defense has been doing – getting up to speed. But the reason he was drafted was his ability to make plays, and now that his sprained foot is well enough, he will be charged with not only containing Tony Romo and DeMarco Murray but taking advantage of his penchant for getting the ball.
"If you're playing," Te'o said Friday, "you better create turnovers."
If the Chargers are winning, someone will be doing so.

A young man who dropped out of school aged 14 and got into drink and drugs has turned his life around and been nominated for an award.
Carshalton man Aaron McGrath admits his life was "a bit of a mess" before he before he started volunteering with football charity the Crystal Palace Football Club (CPFC) Foundation through the Prince's Trust.
Now he has been nominated for the Prince's Trust's Samsung Young Achiever of the Year Award for his success as a football coach.
The former Stanley Park pupil, now 26, never finished year 11 at school meaning he did not get any GCSEs.
He said: "I started drinking and doing drugs from a young age and ended up developing a drink problem that led to depression and getting involved in anti-social behaviour which led to being arrested by the police.
"From my downward turn and giving up on life I spent two months in Springfield Mental Health Hospital due to trying to take my own life.
"Through anti-social behaviour I ended up in prison for four months, on my release from prison I enrolled on the Princes Trust Programme.
"This was the beginning of the change in my life I needed."
Through the Prince's Trust, Mr McGrath got a three week work placement at the CPFC Foundation and has continued his work with the charity ever since.
He has now going through qualifications to become a youth worker and has the Football Association level one coaching qualification.
Mr McGrath added: "I cannot stress enough how much CPFC Foundation and also the Princes Trust has changed my life - it's even saved my life as I truly believe that if it wasn't for these organisations I would most certainty be in prison or not alive now."
Trevor Meader, co-ordinator of the CPFC Foundation, said: "Aaron has come along heaps and bounds. Once he has started to believe in himself he could do anything he wanted.
"Aaron was in the gutter and reached for the stars which have propelled him to where he is today.
"He is great leader and role model for young people that have been in trouble and want to make a change."

COSTA MESA – Two firefighters were injured Thursday while battling a garage fire in Costa Mesa, authorities said.
The fire was reported at about 11:15 a.m. in the 300 block of 23rd Street, according to MetroNet, an emergency fire-dispatch service.
The fire was out at about 11:35 a.m., MetroNet said. In total, 35 firefighters from Costa Mesa and Newport Beach responded to the initial call.
A Newport Beach firefighter, who was wearing full protective gear, suffered first- and second-degree burns on a hand and foot, said Costa Mesa Battalion Chief Bill Kershaw. Radiant heat from the fire caused the burns, Kershaw said.
A Costa Mesa firefighter also suffered from smoke inhalation, Kershaw added.
Both were taken to a hospital, and their injuries were not considered life-threatening, Kershaw said.
The fire was contained to the garage, but smoke damaged the adjacent home.
An occupant escaped the home without injuries before firefighters arrived, Kershaw said.
As of 1:30 p.m., firefighters were still at the scene investigating the origins of the fire, Kershaw added.
Kershaw said investigators were still working on damage estimates.
The affected home is near the border between Newport Beach and Costa Mesa.

Holy crap, whaaaat? Candice Dupree is good but there's no way I break up that championship team by trading one of the best point guards in the league. DT is great, Penny Taylor is really good, but Cappie made that fast paced offense go. Crazy.
NEW YORK, NY (March 30, 2010) The New York Liberty has acquired All-Star guard Cappie Pondexter and guard Kelly Mazzante from the Phoenix Mercury as part of a three-team trade, it was announced today by Liberty president and general manager Carol Blazejowski. The Liberty sent forwards Shameka Christon and Cathrine Kraayeveld to the Chicago Sky, in exchange New York receives Chicagos 2010 2nd round draft pick (#16). As part of the deal, Chicago sends forward Candice Dupree to Phoenix.
The Liberty is thrilled to have acquired Cappie Pondexter, one of the top players in the world, in what is truly a franchise changing acquisition. Rarely do you get the opportunity to trade for a player of this magnitude, as Cappie is a proven winner with championship experience and a perennial WNBA All-Star, said Blazejowski. Both Shameka and Cathrine have been important members of the Liberty, and we wish them great success in the future and thank them for all of their contributions to the franchise.
I had the extreme pleasure of coaching Cappie on the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team when we took home the gold medal in Beijing, said Anne Donovan, head coach, New York Liberty. She is a marquee talent, the ultimate competitor and will make a big impact for the Liberty at both ends of the floor.
Originally drafted by Phoenix as the No. 2 overall pick of the 2006 WNBA Draft from Rutgers University, Pondexter has posted career averages of 19.2 ppg and 4.1 apg. A three-time WNBA All-Star, Pondexter helped lead the Mercury to two WNBA Championships averaging 20.8 ppg and 4.6 apg in the playoffs, along with being named the 2007 WNBA Finals MVP. Last season, the 5-9 guard started all 34 regular season games and averaged 19.1 ppg and 5.0 apg. Pondexter posted 20-plus points 18 times, led the Mercury in scoring 13 times and was named Western Conference Player of the Week three times in consecutive weeks, an WNBA first. She finished the 2009 season ranked as the WNBA's No. 4 leading scorer and No. 3 assists leader. Pondexter was also a member of the 2008 Olympic team that captured the gold medal in Beijing.
Kelly Mazzante came to Phoenix as the No. 5 overall pick in the 2007 WNBA Dispersal Draft after originally being selected by Charlotte in the 2nd round (18th overall) of the 2004 WNBA Draft. Mazzante graduated from Penn State as the all-time leading scorer in Big Ten Conference history (male or female) and currently sports a 4.8 ppg career average.
New Yorks season will open on Sunday, May 16 at 4:00 p.m. against Eastern Conference foe, the Chicago Sky, at Madison Square Garden. Season ticket plans for the Libertys 2010 season are on sale now by calling 212-465-6766 or logging onto NYLiberty.com. Individual tickets will go on sale next month.

Oregon committed recruit Evan Voeller had a tough night on Friday even though West Linn took down visiting Barlow 22-10.
The 6-foot-4, 285-pound standout suffered a Type 3 AC separation, possibly ending his senior campaign before league play began.
Voeller gave Duck Sports Authority the early information he is receiving about a recovery timetable.
"The doctor said if I get surgery then I probably will not be back this season," said Voeller. "If I don't get the surgery then I might be able to be back for the playoffs. He said I should be good to go for August if I have the surgery."
Though admitting the injury was extremely painful, Voeller did not leave the field immediately.
"I got up and played two more plays then we scored."
The No. 2 ranked recruit in the state of Oregon has a plan for what he will do during his rehabilitation.
"I'll just try my best to be a leader for the guys," said Voeller. "I'll help coach them if I can."
Duck Sports Authority wishes Evan the best of luck with a speedy rehabilitation.

Nominee and Performer Fine Tunes Every Day by Drinking Milk with Breakfast
MilkPEP has "gone country" and partnered with the Country Music Association (CMA) to launch the latest Milk Mustache ad with singer/songwriter Miranda Lambert. Unveiled yesterday, this is the first-ever ad from the National Milk Mustache "got milk?®" Campaign to be revealed at the CMA headquarters in Nashville, TN. Lambert will be performing at tonight's Country Music Awards and is nominated for four awards.
The award-winning country music star dons her cowboy boots, picks up her guitar, and sports a Milk Mustache in the ad, which showcases her favorite way to start the day: with a tall glass of milk and a bowl of cereal while strumming her guitar. The ad copy reads "Fine tune your morning. got milk? Nourish every day." The "got milk?" Campaign's The Breakfast Project struck a chord with Lambert because it encourages Americans to enjoy breakfast at home and set the table with milk in the morning. Lambert stays in harmony by eating a good breakfast that includes lowfat milk each and every day. She makes a point to eat breakfast at home - whether it's on the ranch she shares with her husband or the tour bus she shares with her band mates - and knows milk is a hall of famer at the breakfast table. With nine essential nutrients, including high-quality protein, it helps make her breakfast more complete. Whether in a glass, cup or bowl, milk enhances the nutritional value of her morning meal so she has nutrients she needs to keep rockin' all day long.
For more social media content and behind-the-scenes assets from Lambert's ad shoot, processors can join MilkPEP's private social media group on Facebook or email its Social Media team at firstname.lastname@example.com. To access MilkPEP's year-round resources, tools and assets, visit milkpep.org.
The Milk Processor Education Program (MilkPEP), Washington, D.C., is funded by the nation's milk processors, who are committed to increasing fluid milk consumption. The MilkPEP Board runs the national Milk Mustache 'got milk?' Campaign, a multi-faceted campaign designed to educate consumers about the health benefits of milk. For more information, go to www.gotmilksales.org. The tagline 'got milk?' was created for the California Milk Processor Board by Goodby Silverstein & Partners and is licensed by the national milk processor and dairy producer groups.

When Charlie Strong turned down Tennessee to stay at Louisville, he told reporters on Thursday that it was his way of thanking the school and athletic director Tom Jurich for their faith in him.
"He gave me my first chance to be a head football coach after being an assistant for 27 years. I was always on everyone's short list, but Tom let me know from the very beginning I was the only one on his list," Strong said. "His unwavering loyalty in me and my vision has always been there."
Here's what Strong didn't say: "I didn't want to go somewhere else and get Embree'd."
Strong is living proof that the prospects for African Americans who want to be college head coaches are getting better … and proof that they're just as lousy as they've always been. No, honestly, it's both.
It's easy to applaud the facts that Louisville did stick with Strong after a 2-4 start in 2011, his second season, giving him room to produce the 2012 team that started 9-0 and is on its way to the Sugar Bowl.
It's just as easy to remember that less than two weeks ago, the aforementioned Embree was kneecapped before ever getting a chance for a third season at Colorado.
It's also easy to remember Strong's own words: he was an assistant for 27 years, the last eight of those as defensive coordinator for both of Urban Meyer's BCS championship teams at Florida. Yet he didn't get a job offer from any program, certainly none of Tennessee's caliber, until Louisville was looking to replace Steve Kragthorpe and his three straight non-winning seasons.
Finally, there are Embree's own words, delivered bluntly and emotionally after he was fired with four wins in two years after taking over a program stuck far deeper in the mud than Louisville's.
"We don't get second chances," Embree said, speaking of black coaches. "We get bad jobs and no time to fix it."
Strong got time to fix it. After that 2-4 start last season, he got a contract extension. After Tennessee came calling, he's due for another. He is now in place to lead the program from the disintegrating Big East to the more viable and lucrative ACC.
And, it must be emphasized, the 2012 season saw 15 African-American head coaches at the FBS level. In 2003, there were four.
Embree got bounced after two years. Turner Gill got two years at woeful Kansas. Joker Phillips got three years at basketball-first-and-last Kentucky.
Note the quality and stature of jobs. Note these, too, because they, like Strong's, are examples of coaches who dug frantically out of the pit, enough to avoid the others' short-term fate: James Franklin at Vanderbilt, and a pair from the mid-major, test-drive, we'll-trust-you-this-far pool, Kent State's Darrell Hazell and Western Kentucky's Willie Taggart, who was just hired by USF.
Franklin got feelers for other jobs after making the impossible possible at Vandy. Hazell and Taggart got rewarded with promotions to the big time … at, uh, Purdue and South Florida, respectively. Based on the Embree-Gill-Phillips template, the clock is ticking on them already.
Not progress.
This is not exactly Gene Chizik and Lane Kiffin falling into prime SEC jobs. Put their resumes up against Strong's, for example, and when you stop laughing (or crying), explain why, for all the positives of what Louisville did in committing to Strong, he should have ever been available for Louisville in the first place.
Strong himself chuckled about it, how five years earlier he couldn't have dreamed of being in position to turn down Tennessee. Coincidentally, in those five years, Tennessee has had four head coaches, including newcomer Butch Jones.
This one-step-forward, two-steps-back journey is enough to make a grown man cry, like Embree at his farewell press conference. Just as the frustration builds from black coaches getting herded onto the bottom rung of jobs, if at all, a story like Strong, Kevin Sumlin at Texas A&M and David Shaw at Stanford emerges. Just as their success teases people toward relief and celebration, a short-sighted, short-leash firing spoils it.
No one knows yet if it's safe to enjoy Hazell and Taggart getting hired. History says it is not.
Louisville's belief in Strong might give the newcomers room to breathe. But until further notice, Strong is still the exception.
Embree, who got a bad job, no time to fix it and is waiting for his second chance, is still the norm.

Is It Me, or Is It My Makeup?
Makeup Industry Has Many New Ways to Achieve Flawless, Natural-Looking Skin
Whether headed to the office, a restaurant with friends or even the gym, Lauren Nolan rarely leaves home without putting on foundation first.
The 26-year Chicago resident, who works in social media, says her liquid makeup evens out her skin tone, without making her look as if she is wearing makeup. "It's like my basic confidence booster," Ms. Nolan says.
Complexion products—foundation, plus a host of new alternatives...

Diagnosed with Celiac Disease two and a half years ago, Sarah of Celiac in the City, has set out to continue living life, without missing out. She blogs all about her gluten free adventures in Milwaukee and out and about while traveling. Also hosts monthly dinner events in the Milwaukee area for gluten free friends. Sarah has been counting on Bob's Red Mill products from the beginning. They haven't let her down yet.
My mom used to keep bananas in the freezer. After they had reached their prime ripeness, she would toss them in a baggie and into the freezer they would go. There they would blacken. Numerous times I would open the door wide, in search of ice cream. And end up with a frozen banana dropped on my foot. I never understood why she saved them.
And then I had her banana bread.
Now I know that those black bananas in the freezer are the key ingredient to a family favorite. The banana bread my grandma used to make. And then my mom made. And now I am making.
Except my grandma didn't have to make her banana bread gluten free. My mom didn't either.
Until now.
After finding out that my sister and I have Celiac Disease, some of our family favorites needed modifying.
And that's why I'm here. When the friendly folks at Bob's Red Mill were in search of some readers to contribute a guest post, it seemed like the perfect time to convert my grandma's recipe to a gluten free version.
My mom, being the supportive and wonderful woman that she is, has made this gluten free over the past couple of years. And it was perfect.
But as she puts it, "I really can't remember what gluten free flours I used, I just used a little of this and a little of that from the freezer."
It was time to make some notes. Jot down what flours were used.
And share it with all of you.
Grandma EdithAnn's Banana Bread
- 3 mashed bananas
- 1/2 cup oil (I used canola)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 beaten eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon zanthan gum
- 10 oz gluten free flour:
- 2 oz white rice flour (1/2 cup)
- 2 oz brown rice flour (1/2 cup)
- 3 oz sweet rice flour (1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon)
- 3 oz millet flour (1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon)
- 1/2 cup nuts
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine oil, sugar, and eggs. Mix well. Add bananas.
Combine dry ingredients, then mix into the wet ingredients. You cannot over mix this batter.
Put into greased bread pan. Bake 50 minutes, or until knife comes out clean when inserting. This batter is also perfect for muffins or mini loaves, but be sure to adjust the time.
I started weighing my flours for gluten free baking. Well worth the investment of the scale. Not all flours weigh the same. No worries though, you have the measurements by weight and by cups here. And you can experiment with different gluten free flours to find the ones you love. Just substitute 5 oz of gluten free flour for each cup of all purpose flour called for in recipes.
I'm a huge fan of nuts in my baked goods. And chocolate. Grandma didn't use chocolate chips, but they were a welcomed addition.
If the bread gets dark during baking, just place some foil on top to prevent it from getting too dark.
You really should wait for it to cool before eating. But I couldn't wait.
I think my mom will love it.
And Grandma would be proud.

Rampage goalie at home in low-scoring games
Updated 10:32 pm, Wednesday, October 31, 2012
Rampage goaltender Dov Grumet-Morris has a message for fans who might be bewildered by the team's offensive woes so far this season.
"I think if people are patient, we're going to start scoring and scoring a bit more consistently," he said.
If anyone has a reason to complain about the lack of offense by the Rampage, it would be Grumet-Morris.
Through seven games, San Antonio is averaging 2.0 goals per contest, a figure that, through Tuesday's games, is tied for 29th in the AHL out of 30 teams.
Worse, the Rampage have scored just four goals in the games Grumet-Morris (1-2-0-1) has started.
It hasn't affected his play. In those four starts, the 30-year-old veteran has stopped 121 of 127 shots. That includes a 25-save shutout of Milwaukee on Oct. 20 at the AT&T Center, a game the Rampage won 1-0.
His save percentage (.953) and goals-against average (1.49) rank fifth in the league.
Sports Channel
Grumet-Morris, in his second season with the Rampage, attributes his success to time spent with Robb Tallas, the Florida Panthers goalie coach, before training camp.
"He put a lot of emphasis on strong play down low," the Evanston, Ill., native said. "He helped me implement some new techniques. They're paying dividends for me."
So far, Grumet-Morris has outplayed Jacob Markstrom, the team's other goaltender.
No magic formula: Speaking of offensive woes, coach Chuck Weber said the Rampage, with 10 rookies, second-most in the league, simply haven't gotten production from the right people yet.
"You need your goal scorers to score," he said.
Home stretch: The Rampage (2-4) are coming off a disappointing road trip in which they recorded just one of a possible six standings points.
The good news? Nine of the team's next 10 games are at home, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Friday against the Grand Rapids Griffins.
Sunday, the Oklahoma City Barons visit the AT&T Center for a 4:30 p.m. faceoff.
Taylor Hall, a 20-goal scorer the past two seasons with the Barons' NHL affiliate Edmonton Oilers, and a victim of this season's NHL lockout, may suit up for Oklahoma City.
Hall is a former No. 1 overall draft pick in 2010.

Atlanta -- Jones Lang LaSalle released a forecast suggesting that shopping centers will be pulling out all the digital stops this holiday season to engage and interact with consumers to influence purchasing decisions.
The firm, which manages nearly 100 million sq. ft. of retail space throughout the United States, predicts that holiday sales will increase approximately 4% in 2012 due to the on-going economic recovery, retailers' engagement with customers and shopping centers' ability to influence shoppers to buy locally. Its own marketing managers around the country will be leveraging digital media tools including Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, text messaging and websites while also engaging shoppers with traditional marketing tactics including events, giveaways and community relations initiatives.
"As usual, the holiday season is a make or break time for retailers," said Greg Maloney, CEO and president, Jones Lang LaSalle Retail. "It's critical for shopping center teams to make centers a destination during the holiday season whether it's through sales, events or giveaways. A large percentage of retailers' revenues are made during the fourth quarter and we know much of that is generated Thanksgiving through Christmas."

How to raise happy toddlers
Welcome to the happy toddler zone that has everything parents need to know about this oh-so special age group. more
Ovulation is one of the all-important processes in the whole business of getting pregnant. Ovulation is also very individual, with timings, symptoms and signs differing from one woman to the next. So how much do you really know about your own ovulation and your chances of conception?
Fertility experts encourage women who want to conceive (or even those who want to make sure they don't) to get to know their bodies and be in tune with their cycles. Understanding what stage of the cycle your body is at can greatly help with conception.
Ask many women about their own ovulation patterns, and you'll be met with a blank look. In fact studies have found that many women are not even sure what happens at ovulation. Unless you've been trying to get pregnant (or using the rhythm method not to), you've probably ignored any signs that your body is ovulating.
Ovulation occurs monthly as a part of an even bigger event, the menstrual cycle. It involves the release of usually one of several maturing eggs from the ovaries. This egg then sets off on a journey down the fallopian tubes, which takes between 24 and 48 hours. This is a woman's most fertile time.
This event usually happens 14 days before woman's period - so that could be anywhere from 6 to 30 days after the first day of your period, with the average being Day 14.
Every baby girl is born with a finite number of immature eggs - about 2 million. By the time she reaches puberty, she has about 300,000 left.
If every woman's body ran to plan, we are meant to ovulate on day 14 of our 28-day cycle. But there are many women who ovulate irregularly, have much longer or shorter cycles and some rarely ever ovulate without some help.
If you have irregular periods, or have been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, chances are you're not ovulating every month.
Other factors which can affect ovulation include a strenuous exercise program, which can suppress the output of necessary hormones, being underweight or overweight, and anxiety and other forms of emotional stress.
You can work out when you are ovulating by using an ovulating calculator
But if you are uncertain if or when you are actually ovulating, you can also use ovulation prediction kits available at the chemist to help.
If you still cannot work out if you're ovulating, or your periods are irregular, talk to your doctor.
Ovulation starts with the brain which sends hormonal signals telling the ovaries to produce an egg each month. A hormone called gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is produced in an area of the brain called the hypothalamus. This acts on the pituitary gland to produce follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH) which tell the ovaries to grow and develop an egg.
For most women, ovulation doesn't happen unannounced. If you haven't ever gone looking for signs, here are a few of the more common signs of ovulation :
According to Austrian research, the size of a woman's brain changes throughout her menstrual cycle, with some areas growing by as much as 2% in the run-up to ovulation. This growth boosts women's abilities to recognise faces, bodies and landscape.
Ovulation prediction kits are a handy ways to help you get to know your own body better. They're not the answer to getting pregnant - as it takes more than ovulating effectively to conceive - but if you're having trouble understanding you cycle or when you are most fertile, these can be a huge help.
There are two types of ovulation predictor kits available:
Ovulation problems are common, estimated to affect anywhere from 20% to 40% of women trying to conceive - which is understandable as ovulation depends on a complex interplay of glands and their hormones.
If it's believed you have problems with ovulation which are affecting your fertility there are natural and medical measures that can be taken.
Medically, some women who aren't ovulating regularly can be helped by specialist-supervised reproductive technologies like tablets and injections to trigger higher production of ovulatory hormones.
But here are a few DIY ways to increase your chances of ovulation:

text: Morrisey narrowly unseats Attorney General McGraw By Zac Taylor November 7, 2012 Story Share Lawrence Pierce Attorney General Darrell McGraw gets a hug from his wife, state Superintendent of Schools Jorea Marple, after addressing supporters at the Charleston Marriott Town Center Tuesday night. After 20 years as attorney general, McGraw lost a close race to Republican challenger Patrick Morrisey. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Republican challenger Patrick Morrisey unseated incumbent Attorney General Darrell McGraw Tuesday, ending the Democrat's 20-year hold on the post and perhaps marking the start of major changes to West Virginia consumer protection litigation.With 1,640 of 1,846 precincts reporting about 11 p.m. Tuesday, Morrisey appeared to narrowly win the office with 283,818 votes, or 51 percent. McGraw came in with 277,318, or 49 percent, according to unofficial numbers from The Associated Press.McGraw has held the attorney general post since 1992 and has won the state more than $2 billion in consumer protection lawsuit settlements against pharmaceutical, coal and tobacco companies and unscrupulous lenders, according to his office.Morrisey, backed by industry groups opposed to McGraw's focus on consumer protection lawsuits, spent more than $1.2 million in his bid to unseat the incumbent. McGraw spent just under $150,000 on his campaign."We have a bold vision for what the office of attorney general can do to protect jobs and consumers in this state, improve West Virginia's business and legal climate, and advance ethics reform," Morrisey said in a prepared statement. "We will soon begin to execute that plan in a manner that will make West Virginia proud."McGraw gave a short statement Tuesday shortly after ceding the contest to Morrisey."We fought the fight, we never lost the faith, we have stayed the course," McGraw said, according to a staffer.In keeping with previous contests, this year's attorney general race was not without its vitriol. McGraw accused Morrisey, a New Jersey native who has had a home in West Virginia for six years and was admitted to the State Bar just four days before he filed for office, of "carpetbagging" to the state to win the attorney general seat. Morrisey, a former congressional candidate in New Jersey, is also licensed to practice law in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Washington, D.C.As with many statewide Republican candidates this year, Morrisey tried to tie McGraw to President Obama, who is unpopular in West Virginia. Morrisey criticized McGraw for not challenging federal health-care reform and other federal regulations."For too long, this state has been under attack from the Environmental Protection Agency and overreaching laws and regulations, such as Obamacare," Morrisey said. "These Obama policies have harmed West Virginia. It's now time for West Virginia's attorney general to fight back."Last month, Morrisey sent a staffer to videotape McGraw at a campaign rally and pepper him with questions -- an increasingly common tactic that some say candidates use in hopes of turning their opponents into Internet fodder. McGraw asked the man, "Are you a stalker?" before apparently grabbing the camera.The Morrisey campaign accused McGraw of assaulting the staffer and demanded a public apology, which McGraw did not give.Morrisey said that McGraw has "impaired judgment" and has repeatedly challenged him to a public debate. "It is not appropriate for the attorney general of West Virginia to debate whether or not we ought to follow the law," McGraw said during a Gazette Editorial Board meeting last month, seconds after snubbing another of Morrisey's debate requests.Morrisey's criticisms of McGraw's long tenure at times echoed those levied by the attorney general's opponents in previous elections. He accused McGraw of disbursing settlement money to gain favor with voters and vowed that his office would ask the Legislature to appropriate all settlement awards.Morrisey also said he would not promote himself by using taxpayer funded "trinkets" and public advertisements and promised to implement a competitive bidding process when the office considers hiring outside lawyers to handle cases.In 1994, McGraw filed a lawsuit against 23 cigarette companies in an effort to eliminate the companies' advertising to young people. The companies eventually agreed to a $1.7 billion settlement.In 2001, McGraw sued Purdue Pharma, the maker of the powerful painkiller Oxycontin on allegations that the company pushed the drug doctors who prescribe it to undeserving patients. He negotiated a $10 million settlement with that company.McGraw has also targeted out-of-state lenders who allegedly prey on West Virginia borrowers by ignoring lending laws. Last month, a South Dakota lending company accused of using its connection to an American Indian tribe to charge West Virginia consumers towering interest rates agreed to pay $135,000 to 120 West Virginians.In June, McGraw filed a civil action in Jefferson County that accused a Virginia-based auto loan company of threatening consumers charging illegal interest rates.Reach Zac Taylor at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-5189.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas - Montgomery County deputies have arrested a registered sex offender accused of trying to meet a 15-year-old girl for sex.
Authorities say Stanley Haney contacted a 15 year-old girl via Facebook. The mother of the girl became suspicious and alerted deputies.
Deputies said they took control over the girl's Facebook page and continued to talk to Haney on-line.
The conversation between Haney and the girl, according to deputies, quickly became vulgar. At one point, deputies said Haney detailed the sexual acts he wanted to perform on her.
The undercover deputy and Haney set up a time to meet at a local grocery store. Detectives said Haney thought he was meeting the girl, but instead, he was met by deputies who arrested him.
Haney has been charged with two counts of online solicitation of a minor. In 2000, Haney was sentenced to five years in prison for indecency with a seven-year-old girl.

With the start of the navel orange season this fall, California grower-packer-shippers will have a new minimum maturity standard designed to give consumers a better eating experience and, it is hoped, to increase repeat retail purchases.
The California Standard, as it is known, has been in the works for about nine years and is backed by several consumer taste studies conducted by the University of California, said Joel Nelsen, president of Exeter-based California Citrus Mutual.
It is only for navels and does not apply to valencias or other types of oranges.
Staking a claim
About 95% of the state's grower-packer-shippers favored the change to try to counter increased market competition and declining navel returns, Nelsen said.
"The latest generation of purchasers has a different standard of what flavor is compared to the baby boomer set," he said.
"They have more choices. Now, you have our own mandarin industry that is exploding, and there's offshore fruit that provides a different flavor."
The old minimum standard, in place for nearly 100 years, was simply a ratio of soluble solids, or sugars, to acid.
The new standard takes into account other sensory attributes tied to navel maturity.
Shippers will conduct maturity tests in the same way they have in the past â they'll simply use a different formula to analyze the results.
Consumer preferences
In taste tests led by Mary Lu Arpaia, an extension subtropical horticulture specialist at the University of California Kearney Agricultural Center, Parlier, 48% of consumers liked navels that met the new standard compared with 14% who said they didn't, according to her research report.
Of those who responded with a "like," 66% said they'd purchase fruit more frequently, 59% said they'd purchase more fruit than usual and nobody said they'd wait to purchase fruit.
Orange Cove, Calif.-based Booth Ranches tested early-season navels last year comparing the two maturity standards, and the California Standard would have delayed harvest by a couple of days, said Neil Galone, vice president of sales and marketing.
It also would have created a few more skips early in the season when they'd have to wait a day or two in between pickings for groves to meet the new minimums.
Nevertheless, he said the new standard is a good idea.
"If it gives the consumer a better early-on experience and allows the retailers to move more product early, it's good for everybody," Galone said.
Robert LoBue, farm manager and a co-owner of LoBue Citrus, Lindsay, Calif., agreed.
"It will make sure the flavor is better," he said.
"That's what we have to do â give the consumer a better experience because we have to compete with mandarins. And they have a better flavor at that time of year."
As the start of the navel nears, LoBue Citrus will be "very engaged in terms of educating the trade on what this means for their business and ours," said Rick Osterhues, vice president of sales and marketing.

"Woodland is a beautiful city. What better way to see it than on a bicycle?"
Mojo's will be offering a free non-alcoholic beverage to all who use the valet bike parking service at May's Food Truck Mania.

I've spent the past week exploring Geneva, a little of France, and Amsterdam. All I can say is Wow, it's a big world out there. Colin Longhurst and I took a six hour bus ride to Madrid where we took a plane to Geneva. We decided to stay across the border in a little French town called Annemasse. Geneva is one the most expensive cities in the world, but it's also one of the most beautiful. We figured staying in France would allow us to save a little money; as I'm sure you can imagine, finances have gotten tight since we've been here. Regardless, we had an amazing and relaxing time. A few highlights included The Natural History Museum, the WTO and the United Nations headquarters. Actually, there are too many to list, everywhere had something cool! Possibly my favorite part was looking up at basically any point and being surrounded by the Alps. We spent quite some time walking around Lake Geneva. Annemasse was a great place to stay even though it's basically the opposite of a tourist town. It was quiet and relaxed with affordable dining options. One thing that struck me was the diversity of Geneva. I have seen a very small amount of the globe, but I felt like I was in the midst of people from all different cultures and countries. America is often referred to as a cultural melting pot, Geneva has a similar feel.
Massive geese (Colin Longhurst shown for size proportion)
An animal exhibit at Geneva's natural history museum
Not really sure why, but nearly every main street has some sort of road race.
Walking through the center of Geneva was a flashy display of luxury brands and expensive restaurants. Unfortunately, Colin and I had no where near enough money to try much of the Swiss dining, but I'm still thrilled with what we saw and did.
Amsterdam-bound, once again notice the Alps
Fortunately, Amsterdam proved to be a little more affordable. The food was good and not too expensive, and the sights were within our price range. A group of us took a tour of Amsterdam's sprawling system of canals, we took a really interesting tour of the Heineken factory and we even visited the the Van Gogh art museum. All of these were really fun! Amsterdam certainly is an interesting place, and whatever brought you, you're bound to find it around nearly every corner! That being said, the city may not be for the faint of heart. You'll find lots of international English speakers, but the city's reputation often makes for an overwhelming (but of course exciting!) experience
We've found a lot of things in Europe, Colin and Kylie found each other
Wow, what a trip! Now it's on to final exams…. Thanks for reading!
