World Wrestling Debacle: Suvivors, Goats, and Cena?
Hello fellow bloggers and blog readers, I'm Dennis and today I'm going to be writing a duel blog with a seasoned blogger here on EWrestlingNews, Bearkg88. This is going to be a continuation of our blog series, even though we haven't had a blog in quite some time. Today we are going to discuss five topics that are prevalent in today's WWE. I hope you guys enjoy! Now off to the first point of our blog.
Do you think John Cena should ever have a heel turn?
Bearkg88: So recently, on one of the editorials here on EWN, someone spoke about the fact that Cena should turn heel. This topic tends to send waves through the IWC, and while I am on the side that Cena should turn heel, it won't happen for a long time. Right now WWE is in a place where Cena is a huge asset as he is. I think if the time ever comes where Cena stops being the ratings magnet that the WWE believes him to be, I think then we will see him turn heel for the mere nature that it'll be akin to Hogan turning heel.
Dennis:I don't want to seem too agreeable but everything you just said is true. John Cena shouldn't turn heel for the forseeable future and anyone who thinks so isn't looking at the larger picture. Right now Cena is a huge marketing tool. Everything that people throw at Cena is turned into a positive, look at fruity pebbles. Plus John Cena is the most requested athlete if I recall correctly for make a wish kids, which probably gives WWE plenty of good press. WWE needs Cena to maintain his face status for all the good things that he does outside of the WWE. Sure, when he isn't the man anymore and WWE has finally raised someone to the status he's currently at, turn him heel. But for now, in the present he should be a face and WWE would be naive to turn him.
Do you think a potential face turn for Cesaro would be successful?
Dennis: This is probably one of the better questions we'll ask today but I'm going to have to lean towards yes. Antonio Cesaro is a great heel. He has everything going for him. He can speak multiple languages and he can play on the fact that he's not an american. While all these things are reasons to believe that he should remain a heel, I believe the WWE should at least try him as a face. Alberto Del Rio did very well with the gimmick of being a immigrant of America, looking to live the American dream and I truly believe Cesaro could greatly benefit from doing the same thing. Cesaro is a great speaking and I personally believe that his mic skills could get over with the fans. To add onto that, Cesaro has a moveset that screams face. The Cesaro swing gets the crowd to cheer for him. A great face turn needs a great build up and WWE already has one in place. Antonio Cesaro is teamed up with a former world champion in a team that is against immigrants for the most part. Even though they've made him the exception to the rule, I could see them turning on Cesaro. With all the tools Cesaro has plus the storyline he's currently in, I think it's fair to say that a Cesaro face turn would be successful.
Bearkg88:I am on the opposite side of my friend here. I think if Cesaro turns face, it would be a short live success. Look at Santino. He is a comedy joke. I feel like Cesaro would share that same fate if he gets turned a face. Sure, he has the giant swing right now that fans love, but that doesn't justify turning him face. I think if anything, Cesaro should stay heel. He should eventually break from the Real Americans, and be given a good singles run.
Dennis: I don't believe Cesaro and Santino are on level playing fields here. Cesaro has more of the look and a better back story than Santino ever did. Plus Cesaro can put on a better match and has more control of the mic. I think Cesaro's look and moveset matches closer to Alberto Del Rio. While Alberto Del Rio did turn heel again, I truly believe his face run was successful and I don't think there is any real reason to believe that Cesaro's face turn would be any different.
Bearkg88: You use Del Rio as your example, and I guess that is where our opinions differ. You see Del Rio's recent face run as successful, I see it as dismal.
What Will Survivor Series Look Like?
Bearkg88: So far, we know Big Show will go up against Orton for the WWE title, Cena will defend at Del Rio for the WHC title, Punk and Bryan will take on Harper and Rowan in a tag match, and that's it! We have one more Raw, and one more Smackdown before this event, and they only have 3 matches announced. I don't know about anyone else, but that is kind of sucky. Survivor Series is one of the big 4 of the WWE, and I wish it would be treated as such. I expect 3 to 4 more matches to be added, possibly. I see a diva's title match, possibly a title defense of either the IC or US title, a defense of tag team championships, and possibly some kind of match for Sandow. I hope we get to see some kind of traditional survivor series match, and not with the diva's. Hell, I'd even take a last minute addition to the show of a 4 on 4 or 5 on 5 match. It'll suck if Survivor Series doesn't have one of those kinds of matches.
Dennis:While I agree with Bear, I'm going to try to remain the perpetual optimist that I am. Big Show vs Orton could be a good match, but in all honesty it's probably going to be ok at best. Cena and Del Rio will likely put on a great match-up for the younger fans but probably bore the backside off of the smarks of the world. I think where WWE might do something interesting is with Punk and Bryan. I have a hard time believing that they will not make this a bigger match-up than it's already been made up to be. Maybe adding The Shield to the families team and The Rhodes Dynasty to the Punk and Bryan team would lead to a more interesting result. I think it's almost a necessity at this point. Survivor Series is part of WWE's elite ppvs and needs it's staple, the elimination tag team match, to be a great and worthwhile pay-per-view. Anything less would be a disappointment. The other title matches shouldn't be that great but I'm very interested to see where they go with Dolph Ziggler and Damien Sandow during this pay-per-view as well.
Bearkg: I don't see them doing anything with Ziggler during this ppv. Which is disappointing. If I had it my way, I'd add the Rhodes brothers and two members of the shield to the tag match, and make it a four team elimination match for the titles. Keep the spirit of survivor series in it and make it interesting.
Dennis: The tag match would be interesting but I think traditionally a survivor series has a larger team elimination match and I think this is WWE's best option for that match. While I do think the match you propose would be outstanding, I'd prefer to see a larger team to keep up the tradition. Ziggler might not be on this pay-per-view and to be honest, that might be more telling of WWE's opinion of him than if he were to be on the pay-per-view.
Where do you think the WWE is going with Daniel Bryan?
Dennis: As an admitted Daniel Bryan mark I tend to try to be partial. I know this sounds crazy but I truly think WWE has a huge plan for Daniel Bryan. My prediction is that Daniel Bryan will continue to stay relevant until the Royal Rumble but stay out of the main event picture. He will win the Rumble and take down the authority at WrestleMania. Everything is played out to work that way. Big Show is a viable feud in the mean time for Orton. Plus keeping Bryan out of the main event is smart for WWE because it keeps their mania event fresh, while giving it the back story it deserves.
Bearkg88: I honestly think you could be right. There are dirt sheet reports which I take with a grain of salt, stating that bryan is to blame for the recent ppv draws and such. I don't buy it. I think the WWE screwed their fans with the crappy endings and fans got sick of paying if anything. Anyways I think you are right. Bryan gets put into a feud with the wyatts until the Rumble. I could see it coming down to punk and bryan in the Rumble with Bryan getting the win. Maybe even have a match with hhh at elimination chamber. Then face Orton at wrestlemania
Will Hulk Hogan appear at wrestlemania 30?
Bearkg: I say yes. Here is what I envision. Cena loses the title at tlc. He goes on to be in the Rumble match. During it, when he is dominating. The clock ticks down and boom, out comes hogan. He eliminates cena, only to be eliminated himself shortly there after. It leads to a feud between the two. I know. The match would be god awful. But there is a part of me that wants to see it badly. Plus I'm planning on being at the royal Rumble because it's in Pittsburgh. So fingers crossed
Dennis: I think he will also be at mania and like you, I do believe that he will likely make his presence known at the Rumble. I think he'd be better off giving a rub to a younger talent(s) in a tag team match or in a singles match. I think Cena should face Taker instead of Hogan though. The reasoning is because I think it will be a bigger match and I think at this point in Takers and Hogans career, Taker vs Cena would just draw more.
Bearkg88: While I think we will see cena vs taker at a Wm, I don't think it'll be this one. It's Wm 30. 30 years in the making. When you talk about drawing power, I think cena vs hogan would draw more rather than cena vs taker. But that's just my opinion
Dennis: I think most people know that Cena vs Hogan would be a terrible match whereas there is hope for Cena vs Taker. While Hogan is the biggest face in the history of the WWE, Taker is the biggest name in the history of Mania thus at this years epic Wrestlemania, it only makes sense to have him face the man that has put on great mania match after great mania match. But just like you, that's just my opinion.
That concludes our 5 topics of discussion for today, I'd like to thank all of you who read our blog in it's entirety. I'm hope you had fun and feel free to leave your opinions of the five topics we discussed today in the comment section on this blog. Thanks again guys, and godspeed to you all!

Topic: Aintree Hospital, Liverpool, UK
Hi all,
Found this tonight when I was googling and thought I would post the links here as it may be of use to someone from the UK.

"Mr Poston, along with his former colleague Mr Andrew Wu, is responsible for building up the Liver Specialist Unit at Aintree Hospitals, which has become an internationally recognised and world-famous specialist centre.

Wizards TV and Radio Broadcasters
Television Play-By-Play Announcer
Comcast SportsNet
With 40 years of broadcasting experience, including over a quarter-century in the Nation's Capital, Steve Buckhantz is one of the longest tenured sportscasters in the Metropolitan area. A four-time Emmy award winner, including the honor for Wizards play-by-play in 2008, Buckhantz is in his 18th season as the television voice of the Wizards on Comcast SportsNet.
Buckhantz' dramatic game calls have crept into DC's sports lexicon. "Dagger," "Backbreaker," "Not Possible," all are heard regularly on sports highlight shows around the country.
Buckhantz is a native of Washington, DC, born in the District and raised in nearby Arlington, VA. He attended Washington-Lee High School and his education continued at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Communication Arts. In 1995 Buckhantz was honored with JMU's Distinguished Alumni Award.
Following four years broadcasting JMU basketball games on radio, Buckhantz made the transition into television at ABC affiliate WHSV-TV in Harrisonburg, where he anchored the 11pm sports and weather. His TV career then took him to WRCB in Chattanooga, TN, WTVF in Nashville, TN and WSB in Atlanta, GA, before returning in 1984 to his hometown and Fox owned WTTG-TV, where he was the Sports Director and lead sports anchor for nearly 14 years. Buckhantz' play-by-play work also includes the "NFL on Fox" and in 1994 was part of that networks' inaugural season televising professional football. From 1991-'97 Buckhantz was the radio play-by-play voice of the US Naval Academy Football Team. In 2011, Buckhantz was inducted into The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences National Capital Chapter Silver Circle, honoring those who have made significant contributions to the broadcast industry over the span of 25 years or more in the National Capital region.
Buckhantz is involved in numerous charitable events in the Washington area, and for the past 18 years has been the spokesman for the Steve Buckhantz/St. Jude Celebrity Golf Tournament, which to date has raised over three million dollars to benefit research at the children's hospital in Memphis, TN.

Comcast SportsNet
The 2016-17 NBA campaign marks Phil Chenier's 33rd consecutive season providing television color commentary for the Washington Wizards organization. Seated alongside play-by-play man Steve Buckhantz, Chenier has been further ingrained in the consciousness of Washington area sports fans after he starred for the Bullets for nine seasons during his playing days in the NBA.
An All-Star performer for the Bullets in 1974, 1975 and 1977, Chenier still holds the franchise record for most points in a non-overtime game (53), and he ranks among the all-time franchise leaders in field goals made (4th), points (6th), minutes played (6th) and games played (8th). He averaged at least 20 points per game for five consecutive seasons (1972-77) and was named to the All-NBA second team in 1974-75, when he finished eighth in MVP voting. After 10 professional seasons, Chenier retired in 1981 with 9,931 career points and a 17.2 ppg scoring average.
During the NBA off-season, Chenier keeps active by working at several basketball camps and clinics, including the "Chenier-Wingfield" basketball camp in Columbia, MD, which is co-directed by his son, Philip. Chenier lives in Washington, DC, and has three children, April, Philip Lawrence and Adelle, and three grandchildren, Ana L. Fletcher, Philip Cole Chenier and Nolan Chenier Fletcher.
Radio Play-By-Play Announcer
The 2016-17 season marks Dave Johnson's 20th consecutive campaign as the voice of the Wizards on the Wizards Radio Network.
Johnson's ties to the Washington DC sports community are strengthened by his efforts as the sports director and morning sports anchor for WTOP radio (103.5 FM), where he recently won an Edward R. Murrow award for best writing, and for his work in studio on Comcast SportsNet as a frequent anchor of CSN's nightly sports show.
Johnson's ubiquitous presence in the sports community is also due in part to his role as the television play-by-play voice of Major League Soccer's DC United on Comcast SportsNet, and to an extensive history with televised soccer that includes appearances on ESPN and FOX Soccer Channel. Johnson also served as the play-by-play voice for the 2006 FIFA World Cup on XM radio, for whom he called over 20 matches, including the World Cup final in Berlin.
Among Johnson's other career highlights is an Emmy Award for his work as the host of the NHL's Washington Capitals "Face Off" television show, countless anchored telecasts not just on Comcast SportsNet but also on FOX 5, an extensive play-by-play resume of college football, college basketball and lacrosse, and in the summer of 2006, Johnson served as a fill-in on Washington Nationals radio broadcasts.
A graduate of Towson University, Dave and his wife, Diane, live in Annapolis, MD with their son, Pierce.
Radio Color Analyst
106.7 The Fan
The 2016-17 season marks Glenn Consor's ninth season as the color analyst and post-game call-in show host on the Washington Wizards Radio Network. Alongside 20-year play-by-play veteran Dave Johnson, Consor brings over two decades of experience covering the Wizards to the booth.
After 18 years covering the Wizards for various media outlets, most recently for Comcast SportsNet as an analyst on the network's live postgame show, Consor added a new perspective of watching the Wizards to his resume during the 2007-08 season. Previously, from 1990-95 Consor was a scout for the Wizards franchise and Indiana Pacers.
In addition to his work with the Wizards, Consor has served as a basketball analyst for NBA-TV, Home Team Sports, ESPN's regional college basketball broadcasts, Sports Talk 980, Westwood One's coverage of the NCAA Tournament, and Comcast SportsNet's collegiate broadcasts. Consor is a fixture on MonumentalNetwork.com and provides periodic Wizards analysis for CSN as well, and served as Wizards Camp Director in the summer of 2009 for two youth basketball camps.
In his playing days, Consor started for four years for Hall of Fame Coach Rick Pitino at Boston University, before playing professionally in Israel. Originally from Flushing Queens, New York, Consor currently resides in Rockville, Maryland with his wife, Mara, and two sons, Kenny (22), and Jonny (18).

text: Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over The Pasadena Police Department Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI checkpoint on Friday, July 27, 2012, between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. Checkpoints are placed in locations that have the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk or impaired driving deterrence and provide the greatest safety for the public. Officers will be contacting drivers who pass through the checkpoint looking for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment. Drivers caught driving impaired can expect jail time, license suspension, insurance increases, as well as fines, fees, DUI classes, court probation and other expenses that can exceed $10,000. All too often, members of our community are senselessly injured or killed on local roadways by impaired drivers. "Over the course of the past year, DUI collisions have claimed 2 lives and resulted in 80 wrecks, injuring 40 of our friends and neighbors in Pasadena" said Pasadena Police Chief Phillip Sanchez. This DUI checkpoint is an effort to reduce those tragedies. Officers will be checking drivers for signs of alcohol or drug impairment. A major component of these checkpoints is the deterrent effect it has on those who may be inclined to consume alcohol or drugs, and then drive a motor vehicle. The Pasadena Police Department is committed to raising awareness, enhancing public safety and encourages everyone to use sober designated drivers. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), checkpoints have provided the most effective documented results, in comparison to other DUI enforcement strategies. Funding for this operation is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Report Drunk Drivers - Call 911!

|Premier Cruise
A weeklong bareboat charter through Burgundy provides feasts for the eyes and the palate.
Story and Photos by Alan Harper - October 2003
If Paris is the head of France and Champagne is its soul, then Burgundy is its stomach. Even the French regard the ancient duchy of Bourgogne with special esteem. It is the land of the long lunch and four-hour dinner, of rich, succulent dishes and creamy sauces, the home of what the world regards as traditional French cuisine.
Crossed with canals and the expansive, lazy River Saône, Burgundy is also a cruising paradise, though perhaps not an obvious one. The waters are far from turquoise, and the beaches are few, but the scenery is extraordinarily pretty, and slipping by gently at 4 knots, it takes ahold of you. By day three you can no longer remember your office phone number, and nothing seems more important than tying up to that tree and breaking out some chilled Alsace beer, fresh bread, and about 12 different kinds of cheese.
St. Jean de Losne is the local boating center. Waterway routes from Paris and the north, as well as from the Rhine, the Loire, and the Mediterranean all converge within a few miles of the town. For years it was the commercial-barge capital of central France, but now its huge timber ponds have been converted into a giant marina, and the péniches (cargo craft) have mostly given way to pleasureboats. British sailboats pass through on their way south, in retreat from high prices and low weather, their masts struck down on deck to clear the low bridges. Swiss and German ensigns fly proudly from trim, Dutch-built, steel cruisers. Huge, comfortable converted barges ply back and forth, completely at home, their immaculate paint and varnish contrasting with the scuffed topsides of their working cousins. And there are traditional charter boats, lots of them, mostly British-built, some rather tired but others, like ours, nearly new.
Then there is the wine. Burgundy is one of the world's great wine regions, stretching from Chablis in the north some 150 miles down to Beaujolais. At its heart, centered on the city of Beaune, is the great vineyard of the Côte d'Or. There are a few great chateaus but no vast plantations, just a patchwork of vineyards spread out on the slopes to face the sun and place names guaranteed to get the connoisseur's attention. Montrachet, Meursault, Pommard, Nuits-St-Georges, Volnay—some of the greatest names in winemaking turn out to be unassuming little towns and villages dotted along this scenic range of hills, close to the Saône and the pretty Canal du Centre, their south- and east-facing slopes covered with vines.

Not the bestI don't know about this one. Maybe I chose the wrong color or maybe I just got a bad one but I hated this eyeliner. The color blended in a little too well with my complexion so it was hardly visible and I felt like I had to put a lot of pressure on it to even get it to apply and it was constantly crumbling and breaking off.

Nice Eyeliner For The PriceOne thing I hate to switch up is my makeup, but I was invited to a friend's Mary Kay party and didn't know what to expect; I'd never been to one or used MK products before.

I chose the eyeliner in brown because black just doesn't work for my skin tone and brought it home to try. I didn't try it until the next day, but when I went to put it on, I was pleasantly surprised. The shade of brown was perfect for my skin tone and definitely highlighted the color of my eyes. The makeup itself was extremely easy to apply and smoothed on rather easily on the line of my lower lid. I have a terrible time putting eyeliner on the top of my lids, so I usually skip it, but it applied easily there as well. The thing I like most is the built-in sharpener. I hate when any eyeliner gets dull, so it's great to have that neat little took right on the eyeliner lid. The one thing I would complain about, if you can really call it that, is the fact that I seem to have difficulty keeping the eyeliner pushed up when applying. By this I mean, the eyeliner falls back down into the tube slowly while I apply it. It's not a huge deal, but it can be frustrating when all of a sudden the eyeliner is no longer there, but has fallen back down again. Overall, this is a really great, long-lasting eyeliner and I definitely recommend it. — 3 years, 2 months agomeganlynnlds | 19 reviews

One of the best eyelinersThis is one of the best eyeliners out there. It glides on so easily, but doesn't smudge or melt so many easy on eyeliners. It comes in many shades and is gentle on the eyes and non irritating. It lasts all day too. — 2 years, 1 month agoanniebeaux | 129 reviews

Beware... Colors may differ in formulas!!I gave this a 5 because there are some colors that work great and others that hardly work! I love the dark denim, the black and the deep brown. The violet ink and rich jade hardly work, and the bronze doesn't even show up on my skin. I really like the steely, too but one did not work so I had to get another.

Today, Apple debuted iPhone 5, a new, thinner, lighter version of its popular cell phone.
It's so thin that Apple said it's now the thinnest smartphone in the world, and it is 18 percent thinner and 20 percent lighter than iPhone 4S.
The phone also features other improvements on the iPhone 4s, including a 4-inch Retina display, a faster performing A6 chip and wireless internet, a longer battery life and enhanced audio features.
It also comes with a new mobile operating system, iOS 6, with more than 200 new user features including a new Apple-designed Maps app and Facebook integration with its Contacts and Calendar apps.
The iPhone 5 is available for pre-order starting September 14 and Apple stores will start selling it at 8 a.m. on September 21.
Pricing starts at $199 for the 16GB model (with a wireless service plan), the same as the iPhone 4S was selling at until today. That model is now $100 cheaper and the iPhone 4 is free with a two-year cell contract.


text: The Jonas Brothers revived the fading boy band genre with their curls, cuteness and catchy pop songs for the millennial crowd. Joe, Kevin and Nick were encouraged to practice singing and take up the guitar, drums and/or keyboard at an early age. Type 1 diabetes-afflicted Nick was the first JoBro to go pro — nabbing a talent agent at 6, singing on Broadway, and releasing a solo debut in 2004. In 2005, the siblings banded together and within a year signed to Columbia, toured with Kelly Clarkson, released It's About Time and were dropped by their label. They found a new home at Disney in 2007 and it immediately proved a better marketing fit. Their self-titled record debuted at No. 5 in 2007, the same year they appeared on an episode of Hannah Montana, opened for Miley Cyrus on tour and performed "SOS" at the American Music Awards. They signed their own multi-million touring deal, starred in a Disney Channel movie Camp Rock (2008's most-watched cable program) and a TV series called JONAS, dueted at the 2009 Grammys with Stevie Wonder, released two more No. 1 CDs in 2008 and 2009, and showcased the pandemonium that followed them around in a big-screen concert film. Nick also made a side solo outing in 2010 with his band The Administration. While Joe and Nick have cycled through a variety of teen queens including Taylor Swift, Camilla Belle (who appeared in the "Lovebug" video), Ashley Greene, Demi Lovato, Cyrus and Selena Gomez, Kevin officially took off his purity ring when he married Danielle Deleasa in 2009. An E! reality show Married To Jonas followed shortly thereafter.

This is my first post so hello everyone!
I have been quite annoyed about people's prejudices against other religions, which oh so often leads to suffering Therefore, I decided to do something about it and try and write a book, briefly educating children and adults about the major religions, and importantly showing the links that all the religions share!
I have read a few books on Buddhism, but I am certainly no expert! Therefore it would be greatly appreciated if you could briefly look over the document below and tell me if there is anything wrong or if anything about basic Buddhism should be added or subtracted..
Thanks you very much in advance!

Cancer Genetics
Gastric Adenocarcinoma with Signet Rings Cell
I am a female, 34 years old and last year I was diagnosticated with an early gastric cancer, adenocarcinoma of antrum, signet rings cells, T1A, M0, N0 (0/32), V0, G3. I make a subtotal gastrectomy, with limfadenectomy. After a year from surgery, all my analyses are wel. I don/t know about a familiy history with gastric cancer, breast cancer or colon cancer but I don t know if in these conditon, my age and type of malignant cell can be risk factors for ereditary gastric cancer and maybe is better to try genetic analyses. If it is a gentic condition in my case the precent of rate for survival or time for a relapse is modified compared with non genetic cancer? My surgeon say me that the probability to relapse is under 10% because was an early stage. If it is a genetic condition this probability may be different? Thank you very much.
Because of your age and the type of gastric cancer you had (signet ring cell), a genetic analysis would be a good idea, even though you do not have a family history of anyone with other cancers. This kind of gastric cancer is more commonly found in people with a hereditary cancer susceptibilty syndrome called "hereditary diffuse gastric cancer" (HDGC). People with HDGC have a hight risk for gastric cancer, and women with this have an increased risk for breast cancer, specifically a less common type called lobular carcinoma. HDGC is caused by changes that interfere with the function ("mutations") of a gene called E-cadherin (abreviated CDH-1). If you are found to have a change in this gene, other members of your family should consider genetic testing to find out whether they may have also inherited this change. THere are some ways to reduce cancer risk for people with inherited forms of gastric cancer.
It is not clear in the scientific literature whether the risk of recurrence is different between people who have hereditary forms of gastric cancer compared to those who have sporadic gastric cancer. Your surgeon is the best resource with whom to discuss this.

CLERMONT - Four individuals were charged and arrested Thursday night during the record-setting 41st methamphetamine lab bust of the year.
The Bullitt County Drug Task Force, acting upon tips and investigative work, searched the home of Jerry Frazier Jr. on Happy Hollow Road around 7 p.m. on Thursday.
When officers arrived, director Kenny Hardin said a phosphorous lab was just completing its operation in a garage.
The higher-quality operation is also more dangerous due to the use of substances like iodine and phosphorous strips off the back of matchbook covers.

Lotsawa (translator) is another Buddhist craft that must be practised carefully and without personal profit, though one may receive a discreet gift for expenses from a sponsoring temple.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Before he read off a who's who list of NASCAR drivers he turned wrenches for, Leonard Wood walked onto the stage Friday night with a grin as wide as victory lane and giving the crowd a thumbs-up.
The 78-year-old's jubilation and his history in the sport that dates back to 1950 showed what the NASCAR Hall of Fame is all about: honoring and celebrating those who made stock-car racing what it is today.
"It was a good thing they did the ring size, not the hat size," Wood said in his induction speech. "I wouldn't have been able to have gotten it on."
MORE: Rusty's HOF ride | Wood's Daytona 500 winner | Daytona 500 crashes
Wood is far from having a big head, but the fact that it might have swelled with pride is enough to show what induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame means.
NASCAR history took center stage Friday night as the fourth five-member class included three of the great early drivers in the sport — Herb Thomas, Buck Baker and Cotton Owens — as well as recent star Rusty Wallace and Wood, the innovative crew chief.
Thomas won the 1951 and 1953 championships — becoming the first two-time champion of the sport — while finishing second in the standings in 1952 and 1954. He won 21 percent of the races he entered and was a three-time winner of the Southern 500.
Baker won the title in 1956 and 1957, and was second the year before and after those back-to-back crowns. His 46 career victories rank 14th all-time.
Owens was known for his driving ability and then for his role as a team owner. He won the 1957 race in Daytona Beach (on the beach/road course). He won 38 races as a car owner with Hall of Famers Junior Johnson and David Pearson among his drivers.
"He was not only a good guy who could drive, he was a good guy and one of the best friends I could have," Pearson said during the ceremony at the Charlotte Convention Center, which is attached to the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
Wood also was around for the early years of the sport and has been around for more than 60 years. As a crew chief, he won 94 races from 1950-1989 and is the innovator of the modern pit stop, as he created lightweight jacks and more efficient gas cans in addition to working on the choreography of a pit stop. The Wood Brothers won four Daytona 500s with Wood — and he celebrated their fifth Daytona 500 in 2011 when Trevor Bayne pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the history of the race.
Leonard's brother, Glen, was inducted last year for his accomplishments as the organization's first driver.
"Glen and I always did things together," Leonard said. "We learned together and we won together. … I'm totally happy he made it first."
Wallace was the only modern driver inducted. Having retired in 2005, Wallace ranks ninth all-time with 55 career victories. The 1989 champion still works in the sport as an ESPN analyst.
An emotional Wallace talked about Wood in his speech. Wood was the first rival crewman to talk to Wallace after his first career victory at Bristol in 1986.
"Leonard was the first guy to congratulate me for winning Bristol and now I'm going into the Hall of Fame with you, buddy," Wallace said. "That's pretty neat."
Family members accepted the inductions for the three deceased inductees.
Joel Thomas, son of Herb, said: "I firmly believe this is the highest honor a driver can receive. … My father would be very honored and humbled."
Kyle Davis, grandson of Cotton Owens, said: "Most grandfather was one of the most humble, most loyal, hardest-working man I have ever met. He took great pride he could build a car from the ground up, … drive it to the track, drive it at the track and to victory lane. He was a wizard, truly, turning wrenches and behind the wheel."
Susan Baker, widow of Buck Baker, said: "Buck always made an impression on people, whether it was good or bad. If you ever met him, you never forgot him."

Perez solid in first rehab appearance in Double-A
CHICAGO -- Left-hander Martin Perez, working his way back from a fractured throwing arm sustained in Spring Training, made his first rehab appearance on Monday with Double-A Frisco.
Perez was struck by a line drive on March 3, after it looked as if he would secure the No. 5 spot in the Texas rotation. Now, with him and last year's Opening Day starter Colby Lewis (left elbow) inching closer to a return to the big leagues, the Rangers may have some decisions to make.
"No guarantees," manager Ron Washington said of Perez joining the rotation when healthy. "It's a possibility, but no guarantee. There's a difference."
Perez allowed five hits in four innings, surrendering one earned run while striking out one. He did not walk a batter.
Washington said Perez has thrown in extended spring training games in Arizona to prepare for his rehab starts, so the purpose of the Minor League outings will be solely for building arm strength. Perez is expected to be on an incremental pitch count after his 53-pitch outing on Monday.
"He's starting to get built up. That's it," Washington said. "And once he gets built up where he can throw over 100 pitches, stay in a game as long as he's effective, then he's ready. That's what this is."
With Lewis guaranteed a spot in the rotation when he also returns, Washington said he wouldn't speculate which circumstances would shift Lewis and/or Perez into the rotation and drop Justin Grimm and/or Nick Tepesch out.
"I can only give you the circumstances when that becomes a reality, when I can sit down with everybody and we discuss what we think is best for us," Washington said. "But for me to say it right now when [Perez] just left Arizona, I don't think that would be right for the other guys that have an opinion."
Lewis was shut down midway through last season with a torn flexor tendon in his throwing elbow, which required surgery. He has thrown in extended spring training, and is expected to pitch for Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.
"It's great that we're getting our pitching back," Washington said. "It's our depth. But I think it's all gonna come down to what's best for us and what's best for the player at the time. If we all feel that Tepesch needs to be here or Grimm needs to be here, those other guys are just going to have to wait their turn."

LAKE COUNTY -- With the East Coast recovering from the landfall of Hurricane Sandy, the Better Business Bureau warned people about charity scams and offered tips for those donating in the wake of natural disasters.
"Everyone wants to donate money or goods to assist victims of natural disasters. Many do so with a sense of urgency, which is exactly what scam artists use to take advantage of your generosity. They count on the fact that you won't give them a thorough review before donating," bureau president Gene O'Neil said.
Donors should give cash to charities that specialize in disaster relief. Before donating, find out if the charity is actually on the ground in the affected areas or if it is fundraising on behalf of charities that are.
People should be aware of "sound-alike" scams by double-checking they are donating to the correct charity. Also, donors should be careful when giving money online or after receiving emails. When in doubt, call the charity directly and verify the email came from it.
Despite what an organization might claim, charities have fundraising and administrative costs. If a charity claims 100 percent of collected funds will assist hurricane victims, the truth is the organization is probably still incurring expenses.
High-pressure tactics are the hallmark of many scam artists. Though disaster victims may need donations quickly, a good charity will make sure to answer questions posed by donors about the organization and the relief it provides. A scam artist won't be able to do that. Ask questions and if something doesn't feel right, don't donate.
Rely on experts, such as the Better Business Bureau, to research charities before donating. Find detailed evaluations of many charities at www.bbb.org.

Rare Sighting of Mexican Long-tongued Bat
AUSTIN–Something batty is going on in Dripping Springs, and just in time for Halloween.
When Jim Yastic stepped out on his porch October 17, he noticed a bat roosting on the house. Yantis, a nature lover, said he quickly noticed something different about this bat.
"His head reminded me of a dog's head," Yantis said. "I knew it was a special bat so I took pictures of it. When it got dark that Sunday, I caught it flying off behind me."
Yantis' speculation about the creature's unique nature was correct. It turned out to be a male Mexican long-tongued bat, a species that has only been documented four times in Texas.
"I'm sure this is a new species record for Hays County," said Diana Foss, an Urban Wildlife Biologist with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
Foss, also a member of the Houston Bat Team, said it is unusual to spot this type of bat in Texas.
"The long nose marks it as a nectivore and not an insect eater like most of the other 31 bat species found in Texas," Foss said.
She said this particular species is thought to follow agave blooms north.
"This one may have found some convenient agave blooms near Mr. Yantis' home," Foss said.
The only record of the Mexican long-tongued bat in the state prior to 2000 was in Hidalgo County. These bats have been found in Cameron County and Midland since that time, and were spotted in El Paso three years ago.
Bats are noted for their insect-eating habits. These tendencies are significant because they keep the moths that impact grain supplies under control. A good number of bat species are nectivores in the tropics, and important plant pollinators.
Bob Locke of Bat Conservation International said the Mexican long-tongued bat is not only a significant pollinator of agave, but of some cacti from Arizona and New Mexico south into Venezuela.
They tend to be small colony roosting species, usually found in small groups along crevices, Locke said.
"Their name comes from their tongue, which can be 1/3 the length of their body," Locke said.
The bat was found dead late the morning of October 18. The specimen will be kept at the Texas Department of State Health Services lab in Austin.

Visitors to Poldhu Beach shocked to discover that much of the sand has disappeared following recent wild storms, may see some smiling surfers, as the shifting sand has been a boon for wave riders.
The sand was stripped away by the crashing waves and swirling currents, unveiling a very stony beach and lots of beach litter, however the sand has not gone to far, according to the National Trust, who say it has just moved to form a sand bank.
On the Lizard and Penrose National Trust blog, Justin says that while thanks to Friends of Poldhu, the litter has all been removed, it will take months, if not years, for the sand to re-appear.
Adding: "Fortunately, the sand hasn't gone too far, as any local surfers will be aware, there is now a rather useful sandbar just offshore, creating a tidy right hand break."
He says that 20 years ago, it was common for local farmers to quite legally remove sand from the beach as an ancient right 'for the betterment of the land', which probably started with a farmhand with a shovel and horse and cart.
However by the 1990s, there were regularly fleets of trucks on the foreshore being loaded up by JCB, an unsustainable practice which was stamped out in 2007.
Whilst the beach itself has lost much of its sand, the dunes behind the beach have remained remarkably unscathed. The dunes at Poldhu are designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (sssi). They ecosystem is not just rich in wildlife but they also provide an useful natural defence mechanism against the ravages of storms and high winds.

Upper Wharfedale Fell Rescue had a record number of call-outs last year. Jenny Cornish speaks to Jacqui Todd, one of a growing number of female volunteers, about what it means to be part of the lifesaving team
When people get lost in the dark and cold on the fells, or trapped underground in flooded caves, or stranded on a ledge on a precipice, the Upper Wharfedale Fell Rescue Association is called into action.
The UWFRA has been rescuing people and animals from remote places for more than 60 years and last year dealt with a record 44 incidents.
Jacqui Todd, 58, from Hebden, is an NHS physiotherapist and has been a member of UWFRA for the last three years.
She said: "I've been a very active person all my life, I've done a lot of running and walking and cycling in the Yorkshire Dales which is my favourite part of the world. I thought I could in a way put something back into the community.
"Fell Rescue is always there in a time of need – you need people who will be there to give their time and be available. The team is available 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. It's been a good opportunity to give something back to the community."
Jacqui says volunteering for UWFRA has been immensely rewarding.
"What I didn't expect, and what's been great, is being part of a team and having that fellowship," she said. "The team in itself have become a great group of friends. The fact you work with them in all weathers, at all times of the day, means you do develop these close links.
"In order to be able to do the job, you do have to be quite fit. It can be demanding if you're having to walk quite a long way to do a rescue, or you're having to search a wide area. You do need to have a lot of stamina and a lot of drive to commit to something."
Now the association is launching a new event to help raise the £35,000 it needs each year to keep going. The UWFRA Wharfedale Three Peaks Challenge will take place on Saturday, June 28, and offers three different distances – the full Three Peaks distance of 22 miles, a Two Peaks challenge of 13.5 miles, and a 'Paradise Walk' of 4.5 miles.
Jacqui said: "The thought of actually going and rescuing people sounds very exciting, and it is, it's a very rewarding thing to do, but there's a lot of time we need to spend practising and fundraising. The organisation is all voluntary-funded. It needs around £35,000 a year and we have to raise all that ourselves so fundraising is a big part of what we do.
"We need to transport ourselves and our equipment to the site – all of that equipment is expensive and it needs replacing on a regular basis. The time that we give is voluntary – nobody on the team is paid."
The team works on a call-out system – everyone on the call-out list receives a text message and they respond to say whether or not they are available.
"There are enough of us to ensure there's always enough people," said Jacqui. "Sometimes when there have been caving incidents there have been call-outs that have involved the whole team. Quite often we're requested to help with searches which can go on for one or two days. It does mean you have to have enough space in your life and enough time to be able to attend call-outs."
One of the major incidents last year was rescuing the dog Wufra, a Saluki cross, from Buckden Pike.
This incident received national and international attention. "He'd been left up there for weeks – we went up there one Sunday morning, it was very wet and windy, and brought this dog down," said Jacqui. "The dog is doing very well now – he's going to come along to the event in June."
They also took part in an overnight rescue of two cavers who had got stuck in Dow Cave, the network near Kettlewell.
"What we do is very mixed and very varied," said Jacqui. "You need to have navigation skills, and the ability to work and navigate in any conditions."

Diving into Smithsonian Internship
Owen Willis has never been to Okinawa. He's never met diver Robert Bolland. But thanks to a summer internship with the Smithsonian Institution, Willis knows a lot about the octocorals that Bolland collected off the coast of Okinawa.
Willis, a rising senior biology major, is spending his summer sorting the last of the samples Bolland collected, which are stored in a solution of 70 percent ethanol. Although he is sorting only the octocorals, the most distinguishable form of coral that looks like a sea fan, Willis said they're not the only animals he comes across.
"The bizarre array of creatures that I get to work with is fascinating," he said. "I come across new mollusks, crabs, algae, sea stars, worms, loads of different types of plants and animals, and of course tons of corals."
The animals all come from dives Bolland made, especially in the late 1970s and early 1980s, when he was working for the U.S. military at the base on Okinawa. Willis said Bolland dove and collected the specimens in his free time and then sent them to the Smithsonian.
Willis spends his days with these specimens in the lab and Pod 5, a heavily air-conditioned room with "shelves upon shelves of organized wet specimens."
"For each jar that I work with, I take out all of the animals and sort them by phylum—if they are not octocoral—or by genus, if they are octocoral," Willis said. "For example, I may separate out the shells, the sea stars, and the crustaceans from the corals, and simply leave them with their proper phylum name. For the octocorals, however, I sort them much further, down to genera if I can."
It is sometimes difficult to tell what genera or species an animal is just by looking at it, Willis said, and so he takes DNA samples to distinguish them.
Willis ended up at the Smithsonian thanks to a fascination with invertebrate zoology, after taking a class on the subject with Professor Christopher Tudge. Looking for opportunities to learn more about invertebrates, Willis turned to Tudge, who put him in touch with Tim Coffer, a coral specialist at the Smithsonian. Coffer is Willis's project advisor, and the two work at the Smithsonian's Museum Support Center in Suitland, Maryland.
Because of the hours he's spending with sea creatures this summer, Willis said more information about them will be readily accessible to scientists.
"No specialist can utilize any specimens that are not cataloged while conducting their research," he said. "When these animals are cataloged, it allows us to take DNA samples and get a better understanding of not only our evolutionary history, but also the environmental conditions of the time."
But the best part of his research, Willis said, is the animals.
"The amount of animal diversity, even just in the Okinawa reefs, is absolutely striking," he said.
As for the best part of his internship?
"The best experience of my internship thus far is working with the people down at the Smithsonian," Willis said. "I have never met a more enthusiastic, nerdy group of people who love what they are doing."

Unless you've been stuck in a Vault, you probably know that Fallout: New Vegas was released yesterday. We're thrilled that so many people are enjoying the game, but we also realize there are a few issues that you guys have been reporting.
We have just released an automatic update for the PC version of Fallout: New Vegas that resolves quest and scripting issues. Be sure to restart Steam to ensure the update is downloaded on your next launch of the game. We're also working hard to make this update available for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game as soon as possible, and will let you know as soon as we have the dates they'll be up.
The issue regarding the PlayStation 3 digital pre-order bonuses has also been resolved. Users should attempt to re-enter the codes to download their bonuses. Should the "80023156" error continue, we ask that players wait 24 hours before entering the code again. The code should then activate the bonus without any issue.
In addition to the updates, we've also released the official G.E.C.K. editor for the PC version of Fallout: New Vegas. You can download it from the Fallout G.E.C.K. page. The editor will also be available on Steam shortly.
We'll continue to keep an eye on issues that are reported within the community.
Update: With the game out in Australia, we have this info to pass along:
Anyone in Australia or New Zealand who pre-ordered Fallout: New Vegas on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 – and received a pre-order code for downloadable content – will be able to download the content beginning Friday, October 22nd at 10:00am AEDT. Should the content become available sooner, we'll be in touch with an update.
Stay tuned for the latest.

I have seen quite a good development in Firefox versions! The most good update which I saw was from 3.6.9 to firefox 4. But in recent last 2 years I have seen Firefox making lot of version names even for smaller changes! It's like last night when I slept I was having Firefox 11 but in morning it got updated to version 12. I agree to be updated but is it necessary to give a new version name for every minor update? If you see Internet Explorer for every version they introduce something new! for example Internet Explorer 9 from Internet Explorer 8..So Don't you think FireFox is in the mood of increasing the no. of version race?
Well, try Chrome, which has far more versions than Firefox. Do you really want browsers to remain as fixed as IE? Once IE is out, we are stuck with it for years ... although I gather they are starting to do incremental upgrades like this now. The web will move forward much faster is browsers update regularly. Think of all the CSS3 we'd be able to use if they all kept moving apace like this.
I think that's more marketing psychology pertaining to people's expectations than anything else... Give people the illusion that every number increment is a major new release. 12 sounds better than 11.5.7 to some people.
I remember the havoc the last iPhone release caused. Everyone was expecting the next-generation iPhone to be labeled "iPhone 5". Out came the "iPhone 4S" as the successor of the iPhone 4. Some people actually felt that it was a betrayal of sorts before even looking at the specs.
I think so , because if they did not ,that would put them behind in the other site.
I used to love using firefox but lately the updates have not been impressing. The latest version takes a minute to load. I think it has too much going on (add ons etc). Chrome is perfect. Simple and fast.
I've found the current version of FF locks up occasional, especially when I'm opening a load of tabs at the same time
It will only have add-ons if you've ... er ... added them on.
The major impact that the new version numbering is having is on Firefox extensions. Where it used to be reasonable to have the extension set up to identify that it would work with all sub-versions of version 4 including those not released yet, as soon as FF released a minor upgrade and called it v5 the extensions automatically reported that they wouldn't work with that version until their max version identifier was updated. So now the extension writers have to waste time making small changes to their code each time a new FF vewrsion comes out so as to tell FF that their extension will still work bwcause the browser change was so minor that it didn't change anything that would have any impact on anything.
Ha ha, hadn't thought of it like that. I wonder, though, if many people care much whether it's 12 or 11.5.7 ... as long as they keep it up to date and progressing. I have no idea what version Chrome it up to, as it all happens in the background. That's an advantage Chrome has, IMHO.
I believe all of the major Web browsers are in a race, and I am loving every moment of it.
It is far better to have constant updates (even if they are minor), than having a stagnant browser.For example, look at IE; it was stagnant for such a long time! Imagine how far we could have gone should Microsoft had continued to update it!
These updates are very beneficial, for they push the other companies and ultimately improve the Web!
It has been always on the way, Love to use firefox and to try to wait for better versions
No! Impossible! Really? I didn't know that :eek:
These are marketing strategies to stay in the version race ..
The idea that Firefox releases versions from 10, 11, 12 gives the idea to people who are not so "tech savvy" that it is more of a stable release. Chrome works well because as Ralph mentioned the updates are in the background and you never really know when stuff is getting updated. Which I like, because when I used to use Firefox, updates were regular and to be honest, having to sit through that update and then restarting Firefox comes at the most annoying times (It seemed for me, hah!) I'm obsessed with Chrome lately and wouldn't change it for anything.
About version races, it's good to see a company want to develop and release so fast. Internet explorer has and will continue to be left behind because of the not so regular updates. If all browsers moved in fashion to Chrome and Firefox we would indeed be seeing the use of more CSS3 and HTML5 stuff in our browsers which I know as a web developer we definitely want...
I am not saying we should be stuck to just one single stable package , I mean to say, If there is any new version for the browser, it should be something big or good to count ! Even if there are minor changes are being happened the version names can be done in decimals(FireFox used to do it 2 years ago) But since then in just 2 years the Firefox has taken a big leap in making no. of versions for smaller updates and the real drawback we face is the incompatibility of the add-ons for every new version and that's the reason I Switched Myself to Chrome! Thanks
that's right, this is the beauty of the chrome that the updates run in background unlike in the case of FireFox! Even I am sticking to Chrome for longer time!
And it's interesting that Firefox had ceased using decimal numbers roughly at the time when Chrome rose to popularity and eventually took over: http://gs.statcounter.com/press/chrome-overtakes-firefox-globally-for-first-time
I was using Firefox 3 with very comfort. Then they updated it to version 4. These days Firefox 14 is available!! And these new versions are not that overwhelming good !! I am now using Chrome as my default browser which is much better !
problem with all the FF versions is Addons are becoming obsolete in matter of weeks. I get a cool addon.. bam doesn't work anymore.. the developer obviously can't keep up with the updates; then they bail out on developing out the addon. i prefer atleast bi yearly updates.
I have thought about this myself and could not agree more. It's almost a joke the way Firefox comes out with a new version number for minor enhancements. We are already up to Firefox 14! At the current pace, we should be up to Firefox 100 in 2 or 3 years.
I normally don't use Firefox because it is a slow, bloated piece of crap that locks up. I usually use Opera. But it isn't on this computer.
By the way, I am using a quad core Intel with 4 GB of RAM and Firefox 14.0.1 choked on this hotel website.
Firefox locked up for a good 15 - 20 seconds when I first tried to view that website. If there is heavy javascript such as a few jQuery libraries, it seems that Firefox chokes.
Maybe someone using Firefox can visit that hotel site and let me know if Firefox chokes on it for you as well.

The first weekend was spent at Enchanted Forest Ski Area in Red River and the second was spent in Los Alamos, home of the first atomic bomb. We weren't sure how good the nordic skiing would be in a town known for its nuclear weaponry, but we were happily suprised. Luckily, we remembered to wear our sub-atomic partical resistant long underwear. So far, life has been good in Santa Fe. We like it so much that we've extended our contract until June 18th!"

Photo Gallery: Bold Holiday Colour Combinations
Think beyond red and green!
A daring and unexpected holiday hue.
A mix of magenta, silver and cool turquoise adds a shot of colour that can't be ignored. The daring palette pops perfectly against this home's handsome grey interior. The saturated-cerise faux Christmas tree is balanced by a mix of bedazzling balls and vintage-style pieces.
Find more inspiration in our photo galleries of Christmas Decorations, 3 Holiday Decorating Styles and Bold Holiday Colour Combinations.
Give small ornaments big presence by clustering them.
Reflective pieces like mercury-glass urns, candy dishes and an antique mirror draw attention to a collection of vintage decorations. Grey and pink combine for a historical touch.
Dress gifts in rich hues of purple, gold and brown to bring a lush warmth to holiday packages.
Feathers soften this regal palette and add a luxe signature touch. For a more varied palette, deck out box tops and bottoms in two different papers, perhaps a solid and a pattern. Consider a similar palette for your tree and wreaths.
Pile the mantel high with sparkly Christmas balls.
On this crisp white mantelpiece, a collection of new and vintage blue ornaments blend with glistening white "snowballs" (Styrofoam balls coated in clear glue and rolled in glitter). A triptych depicting a snowy scene, painted by homeowner and designer Ian McLeod, ties in with the baubles' cool colour palette.
For more, check out our Christmas Decorations photo gallery. Plus, see more festive interiors in our White Holiday Decorating gallery.
A twig candleholder does double duty, offering a spot to hang pretty necklaces and a few small Christmas ornaments.
Lindsay Mens, a senior designer with Sarah Richardson Design and offscreen member of the HGTV show, Sarah's House, credits her grandmother for her taste for blue. "She had something blue in every room of her house." The refined silver, off white and blue palette works beautifully during the holidays and year round.
See more photos in our Christmas decorations gallery. Enjoy more shots of Mens' space, also, or view the entire apartment in our November 2008 issue.
Jewel-toned ornaments with shiny and matte finishes show brilliantly against a feathery white faux tree.
Instead of going for an overly coordinated tree, mix and match new and vintage decorations in a variety of shapes, sizes and saturated hues to achieve a playful feel — the more colour, the merrier! Use a graphic patterned giftwrap — here, it's stripes and polka dots — to amp up the drama of the tree.

A new twist on a traditional colour scheme.
Red and gold are Christmas classics that can easily be kicked up a notch with a frosty blue accent. Keep the look elegant with silk ribbons and simple knotted bows.
For seasonal sparkle, incorporate silver and gold accents such as a gilt-framed mirror or strings of metallic beads.
Christmas is the most colourful time of year, so why limit yourself to red and green? A pink and blue palette is equally festive. Drape a pale blue throw over a chair or stash utilitarian items in decorative pastel baskets and bags.
Thick black-and-white stripes pop when paired with an apple-green grosgrain ribbon.
Using the same elegant striped paper for gifts year-round means no last-minute runs to the store and a unified, tailored look under the Christmas tree.
Group decorations in an analogous scheme like hot pinks and reds.
Fluted cake stands and pedestal plates are an easy way to show off ornaments. Snowy porcelain is the perfect backdrop for a punch of colour, so be bold. Finish with a satin ribbon in a matching hue for added glamour.
Traditional tree trimmings such as shiny ornaments and beaded garlands look just as delightful in a fresher setting.
Here, a pink pipe-cleaner tree draped in jewel-toned pearls has the charm of Charlie Brown's favourite evergreen. A footed pot adorned with mini rosettes gives it a grand foundation. Nearby, a gold-winged angel normally placed atop a tree adds an ethereal element.
See more photos in our Christmas decorations gallery.
Recast footed cake plates into centerpiece pedestals with birchbark-wrapped candles and whole walnuts.
Inexpensive elements add up to a delicious display that elevates an informal get-together. Create a singular statement by tucking a tree branch or resin antler among the pedestals. A modern porcelain pendant light keeps the look fresh.

I've been charged with the task of coming up with a custom stamp for the 26th annual mid america open...problem is that I don't have any photoshop or previous stamp making skillz.
I have an idea that I think would be pretty cool, but don't know how to put it into digital form, or make sure that it would be fitting for Innova or DC to put on a disc. An eagle roosted on top of a basket, planted in the location of Columbia on a map of Missouri, OR an Eagle in the act of landing on top of a basket, maybe with a disc in it's claws? Recurring themes of the MAO have been an Eagle (which appears on the city seal of Columbia), a DG Basket, and a map of Missouri.
If anyone is interested in working on this project, please PM me and we can work something out. Big plus if you're local! The MAO is July 10-11 this year, and I'm trying to get this done as quickly as possible to avoid any deadline issues.

Ramirez starts at former home as Hicks rests
DETROIT -- Wilkin Ramirez's first game at Comerica Park was quite a memory.
As a rookie with the Tigers in 2009, Ramirez homered into the shrubs in left-center field, recording his first Major League hit in his first Major League game.
Ramirez started in center field Tuesday for his first game at Comerica Park as a visitor. He played 13 games for the Tigers in 2009 before Detroit traded him in July '10 to the Braves. He signed with the Twins in November '11 and made the big league club out of Spring Training this year.
As he returns to Detroit, he has fond memories of his short time with the Tigers -- and his only Major League home run.
"I look out there in center field and see that big water [fountain] where I hit my first home run. It's very cool to remind myself," Ramirez said before Tuesday's game. "It's exciting to see some of the players I played with and be back on the field."
Ramirez replaced Aaron Hicks in center field. Manager Ron Gardenhire wants Ramirez to get more work in center field as the backup, and considering Hicks went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts on Opening Day against Tuesday's starter, Justin Verlander, it seemed like a good time to put Ramirez in.
"If you're going to give him a breather, this might be the guy to give him a breather against," Gardenhire said of Hicks. "Ramirez needs to play some center field since he is my backup center fielder. This gives him some opportunities to get some at-bats and maybe give Hicks a breather here. He wasn't very successful the last time he faced Verlander.
"He faced him three times and struck out three times. That's not successful. Let him step back and watch a game, and let Ramirez get some whacks."

TPW Commissioner Parker Leaves Conservation Legacy
AUSTIN, Texas — Texas Parks and Wildlife Commissioner John D. Parker died Monday afternoon in his Lufkin home, leaving a legacy of passionate advocacy for the wildlife, woods and waters he loved. The cause of Parker's death has not been determined. He was 73.
Gov. Rick Perry appointed Parker to the commission in November 2003. The former homebuilder and past director of the National Association of Builders was also a past national trustee and past state chairman of Ducks Unlimited, among many other affiliations.
"John Parker was well known for his passion, eloquence, and the courage of his convictions, and he was tireless and determined in anything he undertook," said Peter Holt of San Antonio, Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission chairman. "His passing is a great loss to those of us who knew him as friends, and to the cause of conservation in our state and nation."
"It was abundantly clear to anyone who knew him that Commissioner Parker deeply loved wildlife and the outdoors, and he especially wanted young people to enjoy the natural heritage and proud traditions of hunting and fishing he valued so highly," said Carter Smith, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department executive director. "His passion for conservation was legendary. Needless to say, he will be missed greatly by all of us who care about the future of his beloved woods and waters."
Parker was a champion of youth outreach programs, and he consistently pushed efforts to expand youth hunting opportunities and provide settings and incentives for young Texans to experience nature and the outdoors.
Parker loved fishing as well and supported a successful campaign to bring a new freshwater fish hatchery to East Texas, a facility now under construction near Jasper.
He was also a stalwart advocate for state parks and spoke passionately of the need for increased state funding for parks in 2006 at a time when awareness of park system needs was just beginning to build.
"In 1933, Texans struggling during the Great Depression found hope in a vision of parks that could enhance their quality of life and provide jobs and economic vitality," Parker reminded readers in a February 2007 opinion-editorial published in the Lufkin Daily News. "There is reason to hope that our state is poised to again make a wise investment, which will benefit all Texans for many years to come."
Through the efforts of Parker and many others, including fellow members of the commission, the governor and legislative leaders, the legislature passed a significant increase in funding for state and local parks later that year.
Funeral services for Parker will take place at 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 31, at the Baptist Church, 1807 E. Denman in Lufkin, (936) 634-6691. Visitation will be from 6-8 p.m. Friday, Jan. 30, at Gipson Funeral Home, 1515 S. Chestnut Street in Lufkin, Texas, (936) 634-4411.
The family has requested memorial donations be sent to either of the following:Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation
