THE funeral of a former Brierley Hill first lady is due to take place tomorrow (Wednesday February 5).
Jean Hill, wife of former chairman of the old Brierley Hill Urban District Council and Black Country historian - Stan Hill, died on January 13 after a short battle with cancer.
A funeral and celebration of her life is due to take place at Gornal Wood Crematorium at 12.20pm followed by a further gathering at Himley Hall.
As well as husband Stan - the 82-year-old, of Lawnwood Avenue, Wordsley, leaves two daughters Sheila and Mandy and grandsons Stuart and Scott.
Mrs Hill, who worked at a solicitor's office in Oldbury in her youth, was consort to former civic head Mr Hill during his year as chairman from 1955 to 1956 – during which the couple, who were considered the youngest civic dignitaries in the country, met HRH The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.
Mr Hill said his wife of 59 years had been a constant support during his time as Labour councillor for Quarry Bank and as editor of the Blackcountryman magazine.
He added: "Everything we did was together – over the years I've written all these words but she proof read every word I've ever written."
Mourners are asked to wear casual, colourful clothing to the funeral which will be a humanist affair.
Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to Mary Stevens Hospice in Stourbridge via Farmer & Son Funeral Directors, 82 High Street, Wordsley, DY8 5SB.

Updated October 12, 2016
Effective January 1, 2016—Changes to Permissible CLE Formats for Newly Admitted Attorneys: The New York State CLE Board has adopted changes, effective January 1, 2016, to the format requirements for newly admitted attorneys. (There is no change to the number or categories of credit required, nor to the requirement that they be fulfilled by attendance at accredited transitional courses.)
Effective January 1, 2016— Changes to Eligibility Requirements for New York CLE Accredited Provider Status: A revised section 8(B) (redlined version) of the Regulations and Guidelines reflects changes, recently adopted by the New York State CLE Board, to the eligibility requirements for Accredited Provider status. Effective January 1, 2016, a provider that has presented at least 8 qualifying programs within the prior 3 years, with at least 5 programs during the 18 months prior to the date of the application, and at least 3 programs during the 18 to 36 months prior to the date of the application, and that meets the other eligibility requirements set forth in revised section 8(B)(2), may apply for Accredited Provider status.
Preapplication Information Sessions: Periodically, the CLE office holds information sessions for prospective applicants for Individual Course accreditation or Accredited Provider status.
Date TBD, at 25 Beaver Street, Room 1161, New York, NY 10004, from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Please send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com at least two days prior to the session to reserve a space.

Under the revised relevant subsections (redlined versions) of section 8, out-of-state nontraditional-format CLE programs that have been accredited by a New York Approved Jurisdiction are no longer eligible for accreditation by the New York State CLE Board, nor will these programs count towards the three-year, eight-program history required for Accredited Provider status eligibility.
Changes to Program Rules and Regulations: The New York State CLE Board Regulations and Guidelines and the CLE Program Rules have been revised to reflect changes in pro bono CLE credit limits and calculation, and to include guidelines for the award of pro bono CLE credit for participation in the Attorney Emeritus Program.
The revised sections 1500.22(j) (redlined version) of the Program Rules and 3(D)(11) (redlined version) of the Regulations and Guidelines provide for an increase in the number of pro bono CLE credits that may be earned and a more favorable ratio for the calculation of pro bono CLE credit.
A new section 3(D)(12) in the Regulations and Guidelines relates to the award of pro bono CLE credit for legal services provided under the Attorney Emeritus Program.

Hi everyone,
Here is another important passage, which I believe supports my position.
"(6) Ten qualities of the non-learner (asekha): The non-learners right view, right
thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness,
right concentration, right knowledge, right liberation." [Walshe, DN 33.3.3 (6).]
If the asekha is making right effort, then he is still on a path of practice. These
are path factors which are being developed. The asekha is the seventh noble person.
Regards, Vincent.

Excellent weather has produced a high-quality cherry crop thus far for Yakima, Wash.-based Domex Superfresh Growers.
In a June 16 video crop update, Dave Gleason, Domex's chief horticulturist, said warm days and cool nights are yielding excellent quality, and an early start should translate into an extended harvest.
"We're excited about this year," Gleason said. "The color is developing, the flavor is excellent. Crop loads are great."
Domex expects to harvest cherries well into August, Gleason said.

|Diabetic Polyneuropathy
|Drug: Lidorestat (IDD 676)
|Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is one of the most important and serious complications of diabetes. It can cause pain and loss of sensation, loss of mobility and lead to chronic wounds and amputations. Studies indicate 50% or more of people who have diabetes now have or will have significant neuropathy.
Several currently marketed or investigational drugs are available to treat the painful symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, but there are no approved drugs that have been shown to prevent or slow the progression of the neuropathy itself.
The current clinical trial is an early phase II study designed to investigate the safety of the investigational drug lidorestat (IDD-676) and to determine the effect of various dose levels on important biochemical processes in the pathology of diabetic neuropathy.
Participants who enter and complete this study will, if the agent is successful, help in a very important way to bring an effective treatment from research laboratories to widespread availability for treatment. On the basis of the results of this study, large scale studies will be undertaken to support application for product registration and distribution in the U.S. and other countries throughout the world.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 70 Years (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
- Clinical diagnosis of Type 1 or Type II diabetes with mild to moderate diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
- Healthy status except for diabetes
- Ability to make frequent clinic visits over a 7-month period.
- Willingness and ability to understand and sign consent form.
- Pregnancy or breast feeding
- Presence of uncontrolled hypertension
- History or presence of significant kidney or liver disease.

R/W: Reading & Writing Visual Experience
Monday, March 03, 2014
Where and When
Location: Hicks Art Center Gallery
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
Event Information
Artists Play with Words in Latest Hicks Art Center Gallery Show
'R/W: Reading & Writing Visual Experience' runs Jan. 22 – March 8 in Newtown; Free events are scheduled Feb. 5 and March 4.
The Hicks Art Center Gallery at Bucks County Community College proudly presents R/W: Reading & Writing Visual Experience from January 22 through March 8. Featuring the works of nine artists, the exhibition explores the uses of reading and writing – from punctuation to publication – in contemporary art.
Amid the rapid expansion of social media, guest curator Gerard Brown has observedthat we all live in a written world, constantly inscribing and decoding our surroundings.
"There is more writing around us than at any other point in human history, as 230 million tweeters send 200 million 140-charcter messages each day, as our statuses are endlessly updated, as robots text us and auto-replies soar through the ether," Brown said. "Given their prevalence in our world, it comes as no surprise that artists are making use of language in general and writing in particular in their work, and that galleries are no strangers to the written world."
R/W: Reading & Writing Visual Experience features works by Aubrie Costello, Marianne Dages, Sharka Hyland, Martha McDonald, Martha Rich, Sheryl Ridenour, Matthew Sepielli, Rebecca Targ, and Susan White.
Free events include an artist talk with Martha McDonald and Susan White from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, February 5, in the Gallagher Room of the Rollins Center. That will be followed by a gallery reception in the Hicks Art Center from 5 to 7 p.m., including a curator's gallery talk at 6 p.m.
The spoken word is featured on Tuesday, March 4, when there will be a poetry reading and artist talk with Matthew Sepielli, Kevin Varrone, and Claire Wilcox at 7 p.m. in the Music & Multimedia Center.
The Hicks Art Center Gallery is located on Bucks County Community College's campus at 275 Swamp Rd., Newtown, Pa., 18940, where there is ample free parking. Gallery hours are Monday and Friday 9 a.m. – 4 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday 9 a.m. – 8 p.m., and Saturday 9 a.m. – noon. Admission to the gallery and all events is free. For more information, visit www.bucks.edu/gallery or call 215-968-8425.
The Hicks Art Center Gallery receives state arts funding support through a grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.

Cannons Anyone???
I am a new member hear, maybe a week now, and I have been "checkin'" out the site. I don't know a "lot of the jargon talk" ya'll speak, but am tryin' to "get it together". I must say that I'm a little surprised that there is no mention of "cannon shooting", I was almost sure that someone here, was into black powder cannons. I got into shooting a cannon back in 1980, when I took a cannon that I had bought in Hong Kong in 1966, when l was there in the Navy, and made it into a "shooter". I did have to "beef it up" a little, by inserting a "liner" made from iron pipe, and I welded a 1 1/2" pipe coupling on the "breech end", to keep it from exploding with a ball in it. I originally had a "cap" on the end, but through experimentation, I found that it wasn't "safe enough" yet for my comfort. So I went to a "plug" and that worked. I shot that for a year or so, and I got "itchy" to make something "bigger" and "badder'. I ended up with a 1" smooth bore. Within a year, I had it fitted with open sights, and at 50 yrds. I could hit a 5" target. [When I get proficient with this site, I can put some pictures of "The Captain", and you can judge for yourself ] Anyhow, that's how I got into Black Powder. It wasn't long before I had purchased a 50 cal Hawkin, 1860 Navy Colt, and an 1858 Remington. Now, after retireing, sold the home, moved into a trailer, and mostly travel, visit grandkids and such, I only have the Remmy with me, and got the "Captain" stored at my nephews. I go to MI once a year to shoot it, and bring back memories. Enough hog wash, just thought I'd ask about other "cannon shooters" in case there were some of ya out here.
See ya in the discussions, Kickin' Mule, back to grazin,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I have no experience with cannons other than hand cannons.
You might send a private message to one of the moderators to ask them to move this to the Black Powder, and Cowboy Action Shooting forum. You would likely get more responses that way.
No matter how many times you do it and nothing happens it only takes something going wrong one time to kill you.

Back in the early 70's a friend and I made a 1" bore cannon and used black powder, a combination of dry and wet paper towels as wadding. This would embed small bits of paper towel 1/8 inch into solid wood. We went through several lbs of powder the summer of 76.

Kind of tough to shoehorn a cannon into the gun safe. There aren't many here who can do it.

Fun but Dangerous
There aren't many old Buckskinners that have not gotten into cannons, somewhere along the line. Guess I'm no exception as I still have about five and one golf-ball mortar. These are a whole bunch of fun. ....
During one of my range times, there was a fella who showed up with a fairly large mortar and for compression, he hammered an empty soda can over some paper wadding. I'm guessing he put about a third to a half a can of powder. Everyone on the line stopped to watch the show. That is until the third round when one of his windows on his truck, shattered. ....
Be Safe !!!
'Fundamental truths' are easy to recognize because they are verified daily through simple observation and thus, require no testing.

Hey KickingMule..
I love Cannons.. They are real fun.. But can be a problem..
-- The 1st thing I would do is start Small.. Get a small cannon to play with..
-- Then Build up to another larger cannon that you feel comfortable with it..
-- Always treat the cannon as a possible bomb..
-- Always under load it to its maximum powder load..
Purchase your cannons for someone who has been in building them for a while
One place that I have found to have a nice cannon selection is
A lot of variety and can build custom work.. Plus I have trusted the guy with my own fingers and eyes.. But there are other great cannon builders So do not stop there..

A diverse class of students launched the Leadership Studies Minor this spring semester by completing LEAD 1000: Becoming a Leader. The newly created course serves as the foundation for the minor. Gordon Riggle, an accomplished leader in government, business and the military, as well as a long-time instructor of leadership courses on campus, taught the inaugural offering of LEAD 1000.
"Our first class of 26 students was rich in diversity," explained Instructor Riggle. "We had students from 11 majors ranging from freshmen to graduating seniors with our youngest at 18 and the oldest a 30-year-old Marine gunnery sargent with 13 years of active duty. This made for some great class discussions."
Riggle broke the course into covering leadership in three parts: 1) Who leaders are; 2) What leaders do; 3) How do leaders do it. Among the 15 leadership topics covered, students gained greater understanding of their strengths, key leadership theories and styles, communicating and persuading, leading and following by example, and to exemplify honesty and integrity.
Newton Leadership Chair, Alexander (Sandy) Bracken was very impressed with the results of the launch of LEAD 1000.
"I visited the class several times throughout the semester and the students were actively engaged in lively discussion, there were great guest talks from practicing leaders, and I am very encouraged by the feedback students provided throughout the semester," Bracken said.
LEAD 1000 will be offered again during the fall semester. The course is full with a wait list. "We are excited about the future of the Minor and the positive endorsement it is already receiving by students," shared Bracken.
Many of the students in the spring class declared their intentions to complete the coursework required to earn the Leadership Studies Minor. The minor is open to all undergraduate students from any college or major across campus. In addition to taking the foundations course, LEAD 1000, students are required to take three approved electives for 9 credits and a final capstone course, LEAD 4000. In total, students take 16 credit hours of coursework.
Bracken noted that the creation of the capstone course for the minor is nearing completion and is on target to be offered during the spring 2015 semester.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- When Al Gore talks, people listen. Just ask the folks who hand out Academy Awards and Nobel Peace Prizes.Al Gore also talks to investors. Since 2007, the former Vice President in Bill Clinton's administration has been preaching the benefits of putting your money where his mouth is: Alternative energy. But if Al Gore has any message for investors today, it might very well be this: "Stay the hell away from alternative energy!" Not that he would say so. At least out loud. Reading through the promotional materials he puts out through his company, Generation Investment, it is hard to tell whether his "Client Update" is selling investments in his Climate Solutions Fund or memberships in the Sierra Club. "Scientific fundamentals continue to point to a need for urgent action on climate," Gore says. Just like his Oscar-winning movie, "An Inconvenient Truth," it has lots of cool charts and graphics.
Climate policy is still firmly on the political agenda and corporate climate-related activity is increasingly strategic. Innovation is driving costs down and improving the business case for low carbon and high efficiency solutions.This goes on for 20 pages. But even Gore does not seem to be listening anymore. Gore's company files a quarterly report with the SEC that tells a different story about the 30 stocks in its portfolio. His company's public investments in wind, solar, biomass and other alternative energy to combat climate change are practically non-existent. But his portfolio is top-heavy in high-tech, medical instruments, and even more pedestrian investments in companies such as Amazon ( AMZN), eBay ( EBAY), Colgate Palmolive ( CL), Nielsen ( NLSN), Strayer University ( STRA), and Qualcomm ( QCOM). He is also big in China, with stakes in a big Chinese travel agency, CTrip, and China's largest medical equipment manufacturer, Mindray Medical. And if you want a piece of the natural gas pipeline game -- heavily dependent on the environmentally suspect fracking -- you can find that in Gore's portfolio as well with Quanta Services ( PWR). Generation Investment even had a piece of Staples ( SPLS) at one point -- but that was before anyone realized that was Mitt Romney's love child. Not an Apple ( AAPL) to be found, despite the fact that Gore sits on its board of directors. But Generation Investment at one time did have a piece of General Electric ( GE) and Procter & Gamble ( PG) and that global warming game-changer, PayChex ( PAYX).

Robert Griffin III has the second-most standard-league points of any player in fantasy football this season, trailing only Tom Brady—and he will likely be benched by many fantasy football owners who are vying for a spot in their league's championship games.
It has nothing to do with the matchup—the Browns are above-average at limiting fantasy points to quarterbacks, but Griffin has proven that doesn't mean much. It has everything to do with Griffin's health. The Redskins star suffered a Grade 1 sprain of the lateral collateral ligament in his right knee late last week, and he is not starting Sunday's game.
Fantasy owners were facing the prospect of a big decision regarding Griffin's health, but that call has been taken out of their hands. Owners now must figure out what to do with Griffin not starting.
Colleague Bill Bender talked up Browns rookie Brandon Weeden (No. 16) as a possible solution in his Rankings column this week: "The guy on the other sideline (Weeden) beat Griffin in college. He's not the worst emergency backup."
Hopefully, you have a better alternative than Weeden. Even someone like Ben Roethlisberger, who didn't look particularly good last week despite strong fantasy stats, would be better.
With Griffin not starting, you might be worried about diminished stats, but you can always swing for the fences at other positions. That's where late-season breakout candidates like David Wilson and Danario Alexander—or even D/STs with good matchups like the Lions—come into play. Dez Bryant, who's expected to try to play through a broken left index finger, will cause more headaches for fantasy owners due to his injury.
Regardless of your roster issues, the Fantasy Source experts will be on hand to help during our live fantasy football chat from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET Sunday, available to Fantasy Source members.
Subscribers can also check out Fantasy Source's Week 15 fantasy football rankings, fantasy football stat projections and in-depth fantasy football matchups. And don't forget to check out our free RAM Fantasy Update, Weather Watch and Game-Time Decisions posts for other key fantasy football information.
For a taste of what else we have to offer Fantasy Source subscribers, read on:
Start 'em:
Josh Gordon, Browns. He's gone from supplemental draft pick to big-play, go-to guy in a hurry, giving Cleveland that long-awaited No. 1 receiver. He gets targeted a ton by Brandon Weeden, and that should be great news against a Redskins' pass defense that's giving up a lot downfield.
Three more: Lance Moore is a roller coaster for the Saints, but you've got to trust him as a WR2 or WR3 at home against the Buccaneers' struggling coverage; the 49ers' Michael Crabtree should be busy working on the Patriots' secondary; with Sidney Rice (foot) banged up for Seattle, there's a good chance Golden Tate catches a long TD vs. Buffalo.
Sit 'em:
Stevie Johnson, Bills. Johnson will draw the nasty, physical coverage of Richard Sherman often this week. Sherman doesn't back down against anyone, especially someone who can show off a little like Johnson. He really has gone from a WR1 to a fringe WR3 on the best weeks.
Three more: Kenny Britt will be targeted often by the Titans' Jake Locker, but the Jets' Antonio Cromartie has the body type to put him on lockdown; New England's Brandon Lloyd had a pair of touchdowns against the Texans, but the 'Niners can slow him down with Carlos Rogers; the Ravens' Torrey Smith will be contained by Denver's Champ Bailey.
For more start-sit calls, check out Vinnie Iyer's premium The Decider column on Fantasy Source.
Stud: Tom Brady, Patriots (No. 4). Brady averages 284 passing yards per game with 19 TDs and one interception through the Patriots seven-game winning streak, and he's up against the 49ers on Sunday night. Brady tends to play his best in these spots, and he won't disappoint against his favorite team as a kid. If Brady stays accurate -- he's also completing 64.4 percent of his passes through the streak -- he'll take another step toward MVP honors.
Sleeper: Carson Palmer, Raiders (No. 6). Looking for that out-of-nowhere Week 15 star? Try Palmer, who averages 307.7 passing yards per game with 15 TDs and nine interceptions at home. Palmer threw a pair of TDs in the first meeting with Kansas City. He's worth starting. Seriously.
Big Talk: The Dallas-Pittsburgh loser likely will be sitting home for the playoffs, so expect Tony Romo (No. 22) and Ben Roethlisberger (No. 22) to play conservative. In the last meeting in 2009, both quarterbacks barely cleared 200 yards, and Romo threw three interceptions. Only one quarterback will be worth starting. Take your pick. I'd go with Big Ben.
For more premium analysis, check out Bill Bender's Week 15 Fantasy Football Rankings column on Fantasy Source.
Fantasy football matchup of the week:Buccaneers at Saints
5-Star Players
Drew Brees, QB, Saints. Brees isn't at his best right now; he's tossed seven interceptions in New Orleans' last two games. Still, he's cleared 300 yards in both of those games and he's up against a Tampa Bay pass defense that ranks last in the league (311.6 yards per game). Brees had 377 passing yards and four TDs in the first meeting, and he'll happily turn this game into a track meet. Play Brees as a QB1.
Josh Freeman, QB, Buccaneers. Freeman a five star? Isn't this the same quarterback who completed less than 40 percent of his passes against the Eagles last week? It sure is, but keep in mind Freeman had a season-high 420 passing yards and three TDs in the first meeting with New Orleans. He also has multiple TD passes in eight of Tampa Bay's last nine games. It's OK to go back to Freeman this week in standard leagues.
Doug Martin, RB, Buccaneers. Martin owners might be too excited about this matchup. How much will be enough? The Saints have the league's worst run defense, one that allows 154.2 yards per game on the ground. Martin had 85 yards and a TD in the first meeting, and the key to a 20-carry day is not falling behind early. Martin has the potential for 20-point game, but don't expect too much more than that.
Jimmy Graham, TE, Saints. Graham remains Brees' favorite target, but he's gone three games without a TD. Fantasy owners are starting to have doubts at the wrong time. Graham, who didn't play in the first meeting against the Bucs, had 13 catches for 202 yards in two meetings against Tampa Bay last season. You're not going to find a better option on the wire.
Garrett Hartley, K, Saints. Hartley has attempted just six field goals at home and averages 5.6 points per game there. While that's not quite starting material, he figures to get at least two field-goal chances in a game ear-marked for a shootout. Hartley is good for at least eight points, maybe double digits. Start him.
Connor Barth, K, Buccaneers. Barth didn't hit a field goal for just the second time last week, but the Saints allow a healthy 8.8 fantasy points per game to kickers. Barth is 16-of-18 indoors for his career, including a 7-of-7 mark from 40-49 yards. He's a starting option in all standard leagues.
4-Star Players
Marques Colston, WR, Saints. Colston continues to be a valuable read in the intermediate receiving game, and he'll get close to double-digit targets against a weak Tampa Bay secondary. Colston has TDs in two of the last three meetings against Tampa Bay, including the first matchup this season. He's a strong WR2.

Karen Carpenter
Mar. 2, 1950
New Haven
New Haven County
Connecticut, USA
Feb. 4, 1983
Los Angeles County
California, USA
Singer. Best remembered for her singing partnership with her brother, Richard, as "The Carpenters." Born in New Haven, Connecticut, she moved with her family to Downey, California, in 1963. Her older brother, Richard, put together an instrumental trio, with Richard playing the piano, Karen on the drums, and friend Wes Jacobs on the bass and tuba. In 1966, their group won first place in the Hollywood Bowl Battle of the Bands, and landed a recording contract with RCA Records. After two albums, which were never released, Karen and Richard formed another band, and in 1970, they made several demo tapes which landed them a contract with A&M Records. Their first real hit was a reworked version of the Beatles hit "Ticket to Ride," followed by a reworked version of Burt Bacharach's "Close to You," which soon sold a million copies. They became one of the most successful groups in the early 1970s, won three Grammy Awards, and starred in their own TV variety series, "Make Your Own Kind of Music." Karen, however, suffered from a relatively unknown illness, Anorexia Nervosa, which is characterized by obsessive dieting to the point of starvation. Her illness surfaced in 1975, when they were forced to cancel a European tour, when she was too weak to perform. Although she received treatment for the disease, she never fully recovered, and it was discovered later that the disease had returned. In the 1980s, she and her brother were back making records, but in 1982 she collapsed after a recording, and spent most of the year undergoing treatment. Although her marriage fell apart, she appeared as if she was beginning to take control of her life again, and on February 4, 1983, she went to her parent's house to sort through some of her old clothes. She collapsed there from cardiac arrest, and was pronounced dead by responding doctors. Doctors later revealed that her long battle with Anorexia Nervosa has stressed her heart to the failure point. Originally interred in Forest-Lawn Cypress Cemetery in Cypress, California, her remains were moved to a new location in the Pierce Brothers Valley Oaks Memorial Park in late 2003.

It was a very slippery, very very stiff blend. Also, super duper overstable, and glide-less. ive been tuning it up but its got a ways to go before i keep it in my bag. So if theres an Xcal on roids in this plastic, its going to be a giant meat hook with no grip. Not a lot of use for that for me, but ill gladly explore an S line whenever they come out

Search the cigar Database by Strenght, Size, Brand, Duration of smoke
In this section you may choose to conduct a search based on a number of different options. If you have a specific size in mind or know that you only have 30 minutes to smoke a medium-bodied cigar, simply select the corresponding criteria in the menus listed below and then click View the Results to see our Cigar Advisor's suggestions.
If we are unable to generate a response that fits your criteria, please try again or contact us directly for more help.
About Strenght
This is the first and most important step to take in ranking your cigar.
Tastes vary according to size and house-style. Some brands such as Bolívar and Partagás are known to be full-bodied smokes and others such as El Rey del Mundo are known to use milder blends.
The strength of your cigar very much depends on the time of day in which you chose to smoke and the food you plan to eat before or after your cigar. For instance, we would recommend a lighter cigar for your morning smoke and a more robust and full bodied smoke after an evening of rich foods and full-bodied wines.
Somewhere in between our scale of Light to Full-bodied cigars, lies the perfect smoke suited to your palate.
About Duration
In Cuba the varying cigar sizes are called vitolas. There are Vitolas de Galera, the technical name used in the factories and then there are the Vitolas de Salida, which are the more popular names used on the market. As a good Habanos can be enjoyed at just about any point in the day, the defining factor is how much time one has to fully enjoy a cigar.
20 min: Demi Coronas, Mini Panetelas, Petit Palmas
30 min: Palmas, Petit Coronas, Petit Robustos
40 min: Coronas, Coronas Gordas, Panetelas
45 min: Robustos, Slim Panetelas
50 min: Double Robustos, Lonsdales, Gran Coronas
1.00 hr: Lanceros, Churchills, Torpedos, Super Hermosos
1.15 hr: Edmundos, Double Coronas
1.30 hr: Cañonazos
1.45 hr: Salomónes
About Brands
While Cuban cigars are generally thought of as rich and full bodied there are many distinguishing house flavors that differentiate each experience from the next.
Brands such as Cohíba and Trinidad are considered to be Cubas finest filled with complex and delicate flavors while brands such as Partagás and Bolívar are known to be old-school brands filled with powerful flavors of pepper, leather and wood.
Hoyo de Monterrey is known to produce cigars which are generally floral and even fruity while Montecristo cigars tend to have a very particular tangy flavor, adored by aficionados worldwide.
About Ring Gauge
The industry standard measure for the diameter of your cigar is known as "ring gauge", expressed in 64ths of an inch.
Ring gauges vary from 23 (23 / 64 ths of an inch) to 57
(ie: 57 / 64ths of an inch)
Larger ring gauge cigars tend to burn slowly and deliver a large volume of round smoke that envelopes the palate with a full array of flavors. These are also known as "cooler" smokes.
Smaller ring gauge cigars smoke more quickly, have a sharper taste and are known to be quite "hot" on the palate. Contrary to popular belief, smaller cigars are not necessarily best for beginners. We would actually recommend a larger ring gauge for a beginner smoker.
The wide array of ring gauges and lengths have been divided in
3 categories, "Thin", "Medium" and "Large".
About Vitolas
Vitola is the in Spanish word used to describe the size of your cigar. The 2 cigars of the same vitola have similar measurments and form.
A few examples of the different Cuban manufactured vitolas:
Robusto: Partagás Série D No. 4, Hoyo Épicure No. 2
Double Corona: Ramón Allones Gigantes, Partagás Lusitanias
Petit Corona: Montecristo No. 4, Cohíba Siglo III
Corona Gorda: H. Upmann Magnum 46, Cohíba Siglo IV
Lonsdale: Cohíba Siglo V, Montecristo No. 1, Diplomáticos No. 1
Churchill: Romeo y Julieta Churchill, Bolívar Coronas Gigantes

AoA Announces Availability of Approximately $2.25 Million for Lifespan Respite Care Programs
AoA Announces Availability of Approximately $2.25 Million for Lifespan Respite Care Programs
The deadline to apply is June 7, 2010
The U.S. Administration on Aging is announcing the availability of approximately $2.25 million for implementation of the requirements of the Lifespan Respite Care Act of 2006. These projects will enable states to establish, enhance or expand Lifespan Respite Care systems, including new and planned emergency respite services, training and recruitment of respite workers and volunteers and assist caregivers with gaining access to needed respite services.
Under the 2010 "Lifespan Respite Care Program" announcement, AoA will award approximately ten to fifteen grants to states with federal funding up to $200,000 each for three-year project periods. AoA will fund projects that propose to serve all eligible respite recipients, including family members, foster parents, or other adults providing unpaid care to adults needing care to meet basic daily needs or prevent injury and to children who require care beyond that required to meet their basic needs. Over the course of these projects, states will work to expand and enhance respite care services to family members; improve the statewide dissemination and coordination of respite care; and provide, supplement, or improve access and quality of respite care services to family caregivers, thereby reducing family caregiver strain.
This is a limited grant competition. Awards will only be made to eligible state agencies who: administer the states program under the Older Americans Act of 1965; or administer title XIX of the social Security Act; or are designated by the Governor of the state to administer the State's programs under this title who are an aging and disability resource center working in collaboration with a state respite coalition or organization, AND who are not currently funded under the Lifespan Respite Care Program.
The closing date for applications for this announcement is Monday, June 7, 2010. The deadline for submission of a letter of intent to apply for funding is Friday, May 7, 2010. Letters should be submitted by facsimile or e-mail to Greg Link at [email protected] or (202) 357-3558 (Fax). To learn more about this opportunity, please visit http://www.aoa.gov/AoARoot/Grants/Funding/index.aspx.

via Adventure Journal:
Meet Erin. She is responsible for High Heels and Two Wheels, a Tumblr, and she describes herself thusly…"I sold my car on July 23, 2010. I rely mostly on my bike to get around Charleston, SC. I can be best described by a co-worker introducing me to a new employee: 'This is Erin, she wears the highest heels and the shortest skirts and still rides her bike to work everyday.' Follow my musings on my life without a car. Perhaps you'll start biking too!

How complicated can a court case become? In an unusual request, the Solicitor General of the U.S. government has requested time to provide arguments that could end up supporting both sides of a case before the U.S. Supreme Court, or at least that is what appears to be happening.
The case is Bowman v. Monsanto where the farmer contends Monsanto didn't have the right to limit him from planting soybean seed harvested after planting Monsanto's genetically modified seed the previous year. Monsanto contends its patent on soybean seeds makes it unlawful to plant harvested or "saved" seed without its approval.
Bowman appealed a federal circuit court decision against him, and the testimony before the Supreme Court is to proceed shortly. Typically in a case like this, before the highest court in the land, each side is given 30 minutes to argue their point. But here comes Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, Jr., who is requesting 10 minutes to present a government point of view.
The government "mostly" agrees with Monsanto's position, according to a report on http://www.patentdocs.org/. The ruling by the lower court was praised by the government at the time.
Bowman's legal team has refused to give the government five minutes of its 30-minute argue time; therefore, the government is trying to get 10 minutes of Monsanto's time by petitioning the court. The option of five minutes from each side or extending the time before the court by 10 minutes are other options that have been weighed and could come into play depending on the Supreme Court's opinions.
The government seems to think two previously decided court cases are somewhat inconsistent with each other and the court should have the opportunity to question the government directly on the issues.
A great many amicus briefs have been filed in support of affirmation of the lower court decision that favored Monsanto based mainly on two aspects of the case—the contractual limitations of the Technology Agreement and their violation by Bowman, plus the importance of patenting for agricultural innovation.
From what has been pulled from the court case information, Monsanto contends that Bowman harvested grain/soybean seed, delivered the soybeans and then purchased the same or similar soybeans back from the elevator to sidestep the Technology Agreement. In some regions of the country, Roundup Ready trait soybeans have been almost 100 percent of the soybeans delivered to elevators, which was the case in Bowman's area.
Bowman contends the company's patent should only apply to the first-generation of soybeans and patent rights are exhausted with the second generation soybeans.
The ag industry, especially seed companies, are fearful that a ruling in favor of Bowman "would apply to any and all innovators, fundamentally altering the existing business model for agricultural biotechnology—substantially curtailing return on investment with profound adverse consequences for global development," according to patentdocs.org.

ALAMEDA -- Bob Fish wrote a book about the return of Apollo 11, the spacecraft that delivered Neil Armstrong to his historic moon walk, its splashdown and recovery by the USS Hornet. But one of his favorite stories about Armstrong predates space flight.
It comes from Armstrong's service as a Navy pilot during the Korean War. On one mission he flew ahead of bombers assigned to disrupt North Korean supply lines. He descended into a valley and took action against anti-aircraft guns, then began his ascent for the trip home. As he did so, he spotted a steel cable the North Koreans had rigged across the valley.
Armstrong dove his plane, but the cable sheered off part of the tail. Somehow he managed to coax the crippled machine back across United Nations lines, where he ejected and was retrieved by friendly forces.
"You want to talk about a veteran?" Fish asked a rapt audience aboard the Hornet on Saturday. "Neil Armstrong was a real vet."
Armstrong, who died Aug. 25, was honored in a tribute aboard the Hornet which was billed as a "Veterans Commemoration." The scene was fitting, for it was where he and crewmates Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, and flight surgeon Dr. William Carpentier, were quarantined for several days inside an Airstream trailer. You can still see 12 painted footsteps, the first Armstrong and Aldrin took on earth after returning from the moon, on the Hornet's hangar deck.
Armstrong's path to global fame began with his career as a Naval aviator from 1949-52. In 1955, he joined NACA, which became NASA, where he spent 17 years. He flew more than 200 types of aircraft.
"To me," Carpentier said, "he epitomized the right stuff."
Saturday's event included flyovers by several vintage World War II planes, and the reopening of the Hornet's Apollo and Splashdown Exhibit. But Armstrong was the main attraction.
Fish, Carpentier and Daniel Bursch, a shuttle-era astronaut, spoke of Armstrong's character, intellectual curiosity, his calm under fire and the understated manner in which he bore his global fame as the first man on the moon.
Carpentier not only spent time in quarantine with Armstrong and his crewmates, but also traveled with them on their victory tour to 27 cities in 24 countries over nearly six weeks.
"In Spain, he made remarks in Spanish," Carpentier said. "We didn't know he spoke Spanish. In France, he made remarks in French. No matter where we were, he always had something important to say about that country's history. He was undoubtedly the best-read person I ever met."
Carpentier also recalled a conversation he had with astronaut Gene Cernan, the last man to set foot on the moon.
"He said, 'Other astronauts were capable of being the first man on the moon,'" Carpentier recalled, "'No one could have accepted the responsibility with more dignity.'"
Bursch said that to his generation of space shuttle astronauts, "the Apollo guys were like gods." When Bursch finally met Armstrong, he found him to be remarkably down to earth.
"Celebrity should supersede personal accomplishments," Bursch said. "That's Neil Armstrong."
After the remembrance, a short service was held on the Hornet's flight deck. A wreath was dropped into the water. Taps was played, and a bagpiper performed "Amazing Grace."
"I personally think," Fish said, "the Earth and moon are better places because of Neil Armstrong."

RECIPES: Recipe Details
Yes, I am from the hurricane Katrina stricken state of Louisiana, but we are bouncing back because we are a resilient bunch. We are trying to put some "normalcy" back into our everyday life, and the city and people of New Orleans continue to perservere. As I submit this recipe, we find ourselves already in another Hurricane season with yet so many unresolved problems, and so many questions without answers.
½ tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. white pepper
2 roasted green chiles,peeled,sliced,and minced
1 ripe avocado, peeled,and contents scooped out
2 tbsp.hot, spicy mustard
1/2 cup mayonaise
1 1/2 large Vidalia Onions, sliced
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp. unsalted butter
1 1/2 tsp. light brown sugar
1 tsp. white pepper
1 pound ground chuck
1 pound ground sirloin
1 large egg,beaten
4 tablespoons seasoning
2 tsp. white pepper
1/4 cup minced Vidalia onion
1/4 cup minced green chiles
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 cup finely shredded colby jack cheese
Vegetable oil, for brushing the grill rack
6 Kaiser rolls, split
Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or pre-heat a gas grill to medium-high. To make the FEMA spread, combine the sea salt, white pepper, green chiles, avocado, in a blender, and puree until well blended. Transfer contents to bowl; fold in mustard and mayonaise. cover with clear plastic wrap, and refrigerate until needed. To prepare the GRIS GRIS caramelized onions, warm the olive oil in a 16 inch fire-proof skillet on the grill. Add the onion slices;saute' about 18-20 minutes until transluscent, making sure to frequently stir as to not scorch the onions. Add the butter and brown sugar, continuing to cook for about 6-7 minutes until the onions are a light brown color and most of the liquid has evaporated. Transfer the onions to a stainless steel bowl and cover with aluminum foil, shiny side down, to retain the heat. Put off to the side. To prepare the Katrina patties, combine the ground chuck, sirloin, beaten egg,Tony Cacherie's, white pepper, Worcestishire sauce, minced onion, green chiles, brown sugar, colby cheese, in a large mixing bowl handling the meat as little as possible to avoid compacting it. Divide the mixture into six equal portions and form six equal patties to fit the size of the Kaiser roll. Place a sheet of wax paper between each patty and place on a plate; refrigerate until time to grill. When the grill is ready, brush the grill with vegetable oil. Place the patties on the grill, cover, and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side for medium, or own preference, turning once. During the last minutes of grilling, place Kaiser Roll sliced halves, cut-side down on the grill to lightly toast. Remove the patties to a decorative pewter tray; place the Kaiser rolls in a large bread basket of choice. To assemble the N'AWLINS KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF POST KATRINA BURGER, spread FEMA spread on both sides of the Kaiser roll, place a KATRINA patty on one half of the roll, top with GRIS GRIS caramelized onions, and the other half of the Kaiser roll. Pair it with a Sutter Home Cabernet or Pinot Noir, and you have one GREAT Backyard BBQ !!
I would like to quote an excerpt from an editorial written by Chris Rose of the Times-Picayune, a week post-Katrina. I read and re-read it often because it gives me such an uplifting sense of hope and pride in what I call HOME.It is a letter written to America: "I suppose we should introduce ourselves: We're South Louisiana. You probably already know that we talk funny and listen to strange music and eat things you'd probably hire an exterminator to get out of your yard. We dance even if there's no radio. We drink at funerals. We talk too much and laugh too loud and live too large and, frankly, we're suspicious of others who don't.Everybody loves their home, we know that. But we love South Louisiana with a ferocity that borders on the pathological. Sometimes we bury our dead in LSU sweatshirts. Often we don't make sense. You may wonder why, for instance - if we could only carry one small bag of belongings with us on our journey to your state - why in God's name did we bring a pair of shrimp boots? We can't really explain that. It is what it is. You've probably heard that many of us stayed behind. As bad as it is, many of us cannot fathom a life outside of our border, out in that place we call Elsewhere. The only way you could understand that is if you have been there, and so many of you have. So you realize that when you strip away all the craziness and bars and parades and music and architecture and all that hooey, really, the best thing about where we come from is us. We are what made this place a national treasure. We're good people. And don't be afraid to ask us how to pronounce our names. It happens all the time. When you meet us now and you look into our eyes, you will see the saddest story ever told. Our hearts are broken into a thousand pieces. But don't pity us. We're gonna make it. We're resilient. After all, we've been rooting for the Saints for 35 years. That's got to count for something. OK, maybe something else you should know is that we make jokes at inappropriate times. But what the hell. And one more thing: In our part of the country, we're used to having visitors. It's our way of life. So when all this is over and we move back home, we will repay to you the hospitality and generosity of spirit you offer to us in this season of our despair. That is our promise. That is our faith." And this is our cookin'. - Leigh Anne Landry Mayeaux Born and Raised in South Louisiana


text: Set-piece goals lift SC past Capital By Tom Bragg September 26, 2012 Story Share Chip Ellis South Charleston's Miles Gist (22) pressures Capital's Josh McCord. More often than not, when two soccer teams appear to be evenly matched, the result comes down to which team can make fewer mistakes and take advantage of its opportunities.That was certainly the case between South Charleston and Capital on Wednesday as the Black Eagles, ranked No. 8 in Class AAA this week, defeated the visiting Cougars 3-0.Capital coach Bradford Clark said during the run of play he thought his team played extremely well, but the Cougars showed a weakness defending the set pieces that ultimately cost them."South Charleston made the most of their opportunities and we didn't," he said. "They scored on three set pieces. What we're doing when we are playing isn't bad. The set pieces - it's something that is hurting us. That's what we're going to work on in practice."The two teams played an even game through most of the first half with Capital dominating the early possession and South Charleston (9-3-1) taking charge closer to the break.The Black Eagles were finally able to penetrate the Cougar defense in the 33rd minute when Isaac Cosby found Kewsi Wilkerson in the penalty area with a throw in. Wilkerson was able to get his head on the ball and beat goalkeeper Nathan Altman to open the scoring.SC did not waste any time on its second goal. Four minutes after the first goal, SC's Chris Brown struck a corner kick from the right side that Rashad Kincaid was able to poke through several Capital defenders to give the Black Eagles a 2-0 lead just before the half."If it stays 0-0 at the half anything can happen," South Charleston coach Ronnie Means said. "You never know how you're going to start a second half, and sometimes we've had trouble getting out of the gates in the second half. We got the two goals back-to-back and that gave us a little comfort. When we get goals like that we get fired up and start playing a little better."In the second half the teams again appeared even in possession with both goalkeepers having to make saves. Capital had several more opportunities to score but could not get out of its own way with offsides calls going against the Cougars several times deep in South Charleston's half of the field. The Black Eagles put the finishing touches on the contest in the 73rd minute when Brown, who earlier had the assist from the corner on Kincaid's goal, lined up to take a free kick from just outside the penalty area on the right side.After a short approach, Brown struck the ball hard but kept it low, sneaking it through the Capital defense and beating Altman for SC's third goal.Means said set pieces have been a big part of South Charleston's arsenal this season and Wednesday's game against Capital showcased what they can do."We've had a lot of goals that way this season," he said. "It's something we started working on early in the season and I think we've got some good movement and that creates opportunities."As good as SC was able to perform on the offensive end, its defense was able to withstand the several pushes from the Cougar offense, and goalkeeper Hunter Moles helped with six saves to keep the shutout intact.South Charleston got solid contributions from seniors Moles, Cosby, Kincaid and Brown in addition to underclassmen such as Wilkerson and Justin Bumgarner. Means said his team took some lumps early in the season but as September starts to turn to October the Black Eagles have come together as a team. "These guys, some of them have been playing for me since ninth grade and a couple of them transferred in, they were from South Charleston but went to a Christian school - the Cosby brothers," Means said. "Our first game against George Washington was our roughest outing. We've moved some guys around since that time and we've got some chemistry. Everybody wants to win and is buying into the system. Even if they come off the bench, the common goal is to keep winning."Reach Tom Bragg at email@example.com.

The problem with the post was it focused too much on one track and extremely little on why the rest of the album is worthwhile. Runaway is still a decent track to define the album, but it's also the most commercial.
Give a more all-around average track a listen.
If song lyrics mean much to you, the title of the song Agradezco Que Respiro means I'm Thankful I Breathe. It shows the nature of the track off well, and come on, it can't get more Reggae than that without being full on Christian Rock.
|Buy: CD | mp3
Not for the average listener, but anyone with a talented Reggae library will see why the album and the band are worth it. Otherwise, without knowing Spanish, the album would be pretty bland.
Give it a listen if you're interested. They're Reggae based but the Ska and Rock feel make the album much more attractive. Again, not for just any Reggae listener, but if you know what's what it should be an interesting listen.

Have you always wanted your chin altered? Chin surgery -- called mentoplasty -- is a type of plastic surgery.
This procedure can reshape the chin by adding implants or by altering the bone.
Chin surgery can help balance a person's face by helping all of the facial features look better together. For this reason, if you are having plastic surgery on your nose, a surgeon might suggest also altering your chin to make sure everything is proportionate.

Since I took a poll during Tuesday's trading to see how folks lined up on whether we would see a cliff save or a cliff dive by year end, several have asked if I think we get saved or go off the cliff. I would not call myself one who pays close attention to the political machinations, but from what I have seen I believe our Congress is more likely to get something done when there is a gun to their heads than when there is no gun.
So, my guess is that they still feel as though there is time left before any deal must be done. But more than that, the market is not down and it is not tanking on a daily basis. You might recall they approved TARP, but not until the market tanked when they did not do so the first time. They act best when under pressure.
Perhaps that is why gun sales are up so much this year? Perhaps too many folks realize Congress needs a gun to their head to actually get anything done. In case you think I am joking about gun sales, I saw that background checks, a good indicator of actual gun sales, was up 20% year over year on Black Friday.
If we look at the way the indicators shape up for the month of December we might also see another point of view on the resolution of the fiscal cliff. As I indicated yesterday, we have some of the indicators attempting to turn upwards. Their attempts are rather tepid. For example, the McClellan Summation Index has turned up for the first time since September, but notice the difference in the move this time vs. the low in June.
The red line on the chart represents where the indicator had moved to after a 4% move, similar to the move we had last week. You can actually see the move in June, whereas this time you must squint and get a magnifying glass to see it now.
We cannot even compare the Oscillator since at the June low it was so far off its lows. I have noted the June low with a red arrow. My point is there was no positive divergence on the Oscillator at the recent lows, there was just an oversold reading.
Even if we forget about the one day reading of the put/call ratio that I reviewed in depth yesterday, if we look at the moving average of this indicator we discover two points. First, it is heading down (that's bullish). Secondly, it did not get to the panic level we had at the June lows when the moving average went over 115%. If we had gotten to a reading over 115% I'd be thinking we're due for an extended rally, but having not gotten there I think it looks more like an oversold one.
If the indicators were lined up the way they were in early June, I'd say the fiscal cliff will be resolved. But I look at these indicators and I can sense there will be more volatility in the coming weeks. For example, I think we have another rally attempt later this week, but it wouldn't surprise me if we then pulled right back again next week when we are maximum overbought.
I suppose that means no one should be comfortable in this environment. Not the bulls or the bears and not the Democrats or the Republicans.

Question for the Money Doctors
Question submitted on Feb 7, 2013.
QuestionI worked in india from jan 2012 thru sep 2012, total salary was equivalent to 45,000 usd. I moved back to the usa in october and earned 14000 usd for the time period from october to dec 2012.
Do i file taxes for the entire amount or the amount i made in the us ? If the total amount , do i get a tax deferred for the amount made in india?
Assuming you are a US citizen or a US alien resident, all of your income must be included onyour US tax return. For foreign earned income (the amount you earned in India) you can choose to exclude such income from a return if our tax home was in a foreign country and you met either a physical presence test of being in the foreign country for 330 full days, or rthe bona fide residence test - resides in a foreign country for an uninterrupted period of an entire tax year (January 1 - December 31). Based on your question, it does not appear that you meet either of these tests and therefore cannot choose to exclude the foreign earned income.
In order to prevent double taxation, if you paid taxes on your earnings to India, you can claim a credit for the taxes paid against your US tax liability. The calculation for obtaining this credit is somewhat complex. and you might need to consult a tax accountant who is well versed in such matters.
You can obtain additional information from IRS publications 54 and 4732 at http://www.irs.gov/publications/index.html

text: An idea from Huggins and some hoops scoops By Mitch Vingle June 13, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- No ice cream, but scoops aplenty as we near summer (yes, it's still a week away) in the Mountain State:The other day I was interviewing WVU basketball coach Bob Huggins when the conversation turned to the Coliseum in Morgantown.All, I think, can agree the parking situation at the facility can be improved. (The place is almost screaming for a parking garage.)Huggins mentioned his desire to see suites placed in the Coliseum's inner concourse. ("Why do we need two ways to walk around the Coliseum?" he asked. "Isn't the outer concourse enough? Have you ever seen people walking an inner and outer concourse at any other arena?" Answer: no.)Then he brought up a very intriguing idea."What we need," Huggins said, "is a restaurant overtop the Blue gate."That gets the wheels turning, eh? Cincinnati's Fifth Third Arena, where Huggins made his name, has a restaurant and lounge area overlooking the court."People can get there early, have dinner and stop in afterward," Huggins said. "It would be a big-time business tool. You'd have a captive audience for hours. It's better than getting in a golf cart."How would it work?"The university could own it or farm it out," Huggins said. "It could bid it out, like we did [beer licensing] with Sodexo."On Thursday, Huggins and his staff visited Beckley's Resort at Glade Springs for a golf outing. When asked about the last available hoops scholarship for next year, the coach joked that the school would "petition for another year for [assistant coach] Ronnie [Everhart].""He was hurt for a while [playing in the early 1980s at Virginia Tech]," Huggins said. "And everybody wants a West Virginian on the team who can shoot."He refused, however, to comment specifically on the team's scholarship plans, other than to say the Mountaineers "need somebody who can help us at point [guard]." Behind the scenes, though, this is exactly what's going on. About a month ago I reported the team was after Dunbar High standout Daxter Miles of Baltimore and Shadell Millinghaus of Believe Prep in Rock Hill, S.C.Miles publicly committed to WVU but, as our Dave Hickman has reported, has only an outside shot of qualifying. Millinghaus, meanwhile, was in the same boat but committed to Southern Mississippi. (There are whispers he heard about the Miles-WVU connection.) Anyway, two more guards have now appeared on the Mountaineers' radar screen. One is former Rutgers player Jerome Seagears, who reportedly has changed his mind about transferring to Auburn.According to an Associated Press article, Seagears told Auburn coach Tony Barbee he wanted to be closer to his family in Silver Spring, Md. Auburn was planning to petition the NCAA in order for Seagears to be immediately eligible. He averaged 6.5 points and 2.6 assists last year at Rutgers.The other guard to emerge on the screen is Andre Anthony, a one-year prospect from the Community College of Beaver County in Pennsylvania. The junior college player has three semesters of eligibility left but probably would play just one season. He averaged 21.7 points for the NJCCA Division II Titans last season and hit 46.8 percent of his 3-point shots.Among those at the Beckley golf tournament, by the way, was former Mountaineer guard Alex Ruoff."I'm here eating one of Hugs' famous bologna, cheese and egg sandwiches," Ruoff said by phone. "It's amazing." Ruoff said he recently wrapped up his fourth season playing professionally in Belgium. In addition, he was drafted in the second round of the 2012 NBA Development Draft and played for the Canton Charge and Iowa Energy. Now?"Hopefully my agent gets me another job," Ruoff said. "I'll train in Morgantown this summer and wait, hope. I think I'll get a call. Things have been going well in Belgium."You might have read Rick Ryan's Thursday piece on the George Washington High trio - Trevon Johnson, Sam Plantz and Jacob Whitlock - playing in this Saturday's North-South all-star football game.You might also have scratched your head a bit. Three players from one team? If you're really attentive, and checked the rosters, you've seen Martinsburg and Morgantown also have three players apiece participating. Wasn't there a two-player limit in the past?"Yes, but it changed," said game director Bob Mullett. "Bluntly, I'm against it because I like to spread the offers out. But sometimes you have schools like Martinsburg with great athletes and you want them there."Division I players automatically get invited. Then I think South Charleston was so good a couple years back that we changed the rule to allow three kids from two schools. Now it's three from three."We will, though, revisit the rule when our coaches meet at the Super Six."Mullett said no injuries have been reported this week, but Brooke High fullback/linebacker Raleigh Mason had to leave because of personal reasons.And finally . . .A couple tidbits I simply didn't know how else to use.First, Mullett said the first woman - Rep. Shelley Moore Capito - would handle the coin flip for the North-South football all-star game.And second, I spoke to former WVU basketball guard and current Glenville State assistant coach Joe Mazzulla the other day. I was trying to remember Mazzulla's uniform number and guessed it to be either 5 or 21."It was 3 and 21," Mazzulla said, before explaining that Darris Nichols had his preferred No. 21 upon arriving in Morgantown.When Nichols left WVU, Mazzulla went back to 21.But why No. 3 in the interim?"Because 2 plus 1 equals 3," Mazzulla said.Sometimes life can be so simple.Reach Mitch Vingle at 304-348-4827, firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/MitchVingle.

Meet Designer Catherine Kwong
For his 1,450-square-foot California cottage, designer Stephen Shubel created the feeling of more space by selecting a warm "French vanilla" color scheme. The walls and ceilings were originally dark redwood, and the floors were oak. "The first thing I did was paint everything white to open it up and make it feel better," he says. Interior columns create the effect of an enfilade toward the balcony, glimpsed between curtains.
"Having a lamp on the counter makes the room more intimate," Shubel says. "And when you live in a house this size, you want the kitchen to be more than just utilitarian." Giallo Siena marble counters, an antique gilded lamp, and a pilastered Edwardian china cabinet exude intimate elegance. The photo is by Maryann Hayden.

A 'vile' internet troll has been blasted for insulting former Blackburn Rovers legend Colin Hendry's late wife.
The former central defender, who played more than 300 times for the club, was sent a sick message by a supporter of Glasgow Celtic on Twitter.
The message, from an account named Liam McDonald on social networking site Twitter, said: "Remember when Colin Hendry's wife snuffed it? Great times."
The former Glasgow Rangers star responded by taking to his Twitter account and posting a picture of the tweet with the message: "This is the vile world we live in."
Yesterday the tweet, which was sent at 11.33pm on Tuesday, was deleted, and later the account itself also appeared to have been removed.
The Hendry family said they have reported the incident to Scottish police.
Mr Hendry's wife, Denise, died in 2009, seven years after undergoing a botched liposuction operation.
The 43-year-old underwent 20 operations after the routine treatment and died after picking up an infection following a corrective operation after being on life support for weeks.
Mr Hendry's daughter Rheagan, launched the charity The Denise Hendry Foundation to help people suffering from clinical negligence in her mum's memory.
Speaking to the Lancashire Telegraph yesterday on behalf of her dad, she said: "This is what we deal with all the time and it is disgusting.
"This is not just Colin Hendry, it is a mum and a daughter.
"I am sure he would not feel comfortable if someone said that about his parents.
"Dad has been in the football world and up at Rangers and he can deal with this sort of thing but when you start bringing in people's relatives it is just not on.
"It is just not nice. We just want to move on with our lives and we are always reminded about how insensitive people can be.
"This is a totally random act of stupidity, but it is not the first time something like this has happened.
"People should not take social media lightly.
"He thinks he can write what he wants and Colin Hendry and his daughter and grandchildren won't see it but he is wrong."
Colin Hendry had two spells for Rovers, from 1987 to 1989 and 1991 to 1998.
He was sold to Scottish giants Glasgow Rangers, who have a legendary rivalry with Glasgow Celtic.
Former teammate Kevin Gallacher, who played with Hendry for Rovers and Scotland, said he too had experienced abuse on Twitter.
He said: "When I got involved in Team GB at the Olympics I had abuse on Twitter.
"I had times where every time I wrote something I was getting snide comments.
"Unfortunately with social media people are going to do that because they can hide behind it.
"Comments like that are not nice but you just have to brush it off and ignore it.
"But it gets worse when people's children are involved.
"People just think they are throwing abuse at Colin and this is the disappointing thing.
"I think these people tend to be loners who are sat in rooms on their own sending these messages."
Rovers legend Simon Garner said: "It is stupid. That is an awful thing to say and the person should get in trouble for it.
"I think people believe they can get away with things like this but they can't.
"I have never personally had anything serious on Twitter, just the odd bit of banter that I take with a pinch of salt, but if I did I would certainly report it to the police."
Former Rovers player and current chairman of the Professional Footballers Association Gordon Taylor said: "I think it is a sad world.
"There seems to be a vindictive side to society where people hide behind these sites and think they can say what they want to people.
"We have advised our younger players to be careful with what they are posting."
Hyndburn MP and Rovers fan Graham Jones said he was 'sick and fed up of internet trolls'.
He said: "When you are in the public life you get trolls who think they can just go round abusing who they want to.
"I feel sorry for Colin and all the other victims of what appears to be a growing trend of abuse and bullying on social media.
"It is Colin this time but it could be children and vulnerable people next time.
"I blocked one constituent who thought it was clever to be abusive on Twitter.
"People do not seem to realise you have friends and family and children."
Darwen councillor Dave Smith, a Blackburn Rovers season ticket-holder, said: "It is absolutely appalling.
"I just hope the police get involved and this clown is punished.
