They just need to realize what it's for and not just try to use it for distance.
I know that's what we all recommend, but a champ banshee or even a good champ eagle would be better for a beginner's overstable slot.
And I'm not saying it's the best overstable driver for beginners, just one of the best. Banshee is probably the single best choice for a first OS mold, but I don't think the Pred is a bad choice for the second or third. People who've played for a while and have manged some semblance of form are still beginners. =)discspeed wrote:There is a lot of PD/Pred overlap as the Pred in general is one of the most versatile and least overstable of the overstable drivers, and the PD is one of the most versatile and overstable straight drivers.

Oberholtzer joins 'Strike Out Cancer' effort
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- When he heard other Major League players were joining with Cardinals pitcher Jason Motte to don "Strike Out Cancer" T-shirts in their own team colors to help fight cancer, Astros pitcher Brett Oberholtzer joined the cause.
The effort started small last spring with 300 shirts that Motte planned to pass out to friends and teammates. He hoped to sell a few, too, at his fall fundraiser to raise money for a cancer center in the Memphis, Tenn., area to which he and his wife had a personal connection.
Fans who saw Motte donning the shirt let him know they'd like one in their team's colors. That got him to thinking: If this plan worked for him and his charity, maybe it could benefit other players' charities in other markets as well. So Motte started to recruit late last season.
"It's always been something I've wanted to do, to give back in some way, so I felt like a good way to start was to give my time and effort to raise awareness and money for a cancer foundation," said Oberholtzer, who's father, Fred, had leukemia.
The website 108stitches.com went live on March 17, with 108 Stitches showcasing the "Strike Out Cancer" tees in each team's colors. Each is promoted by a different player who agreed to join Motte in a partnership that will benefit multiple charities. Each participating player has chosen a charity that will benefit from the T-shirts sales, and for each shirt sold, $5 will go to the Jason Motte Foundation and $5 to a charity of that player's choice. A full list of recipient charities will be listed on the 108 Stitches website soon, along with a photo of each player rep in his team-colored shirt.
"At the end of the day, it's about reaching people," Motte said. "Baseball is great and everything, but there are other really important things going on out there that affect a lot of people. Wearing these T-shirts shows people that they're not alone. They're not sitting there doing chemo by themselves where no one cares. People do care, whether it's friends, family or baseball players. There are people who this has touched and this has affected. This is something we're trying to do to get the word out there and try to raise money to help."
The charity Oberholtzer chose was an organization that researches leukemia.
"More and more players nowadays are giving back with all the money they're making," he said. "We did offseason work at the Ronald McDonald Houston in Houston, visiting people. It's not only beneficial for them to see us, but also for us to bring to light what other people are going through on a day-to-day basis."

Once in the Buddha's time there was a monk sitting in meditation near a pond who saw a heron diving down to catch fish and eat them. He took that as his meditation subject until he succeeded in becoming an arahant. I've never seen a heron eating fish mentioned as a subject in any of the meditation manuals, but he was able to use it to meditate until he attained arahantship..

Issues important to kids, such as education and health care, topped the agenda at a double-decker candidates' forum Monday night at Dominican University.
The event featured both the candidates for the 2nd Congressional District seat — Assemblyman Jared Huffman, D-San Rafael, and his Republican opponent investment adviser Dan Roberts of Tiburon; and the candidates for the 10th District Assembly seat — 7th District Assemblyman Michael Allen, who recently moved to San Rafael, and San Rafael Councilman Marc Levine. Both Levine and Allen are Democrats.
The San Rafael event, which was attended by several hundred people, was co-sponsored by the university, the League of Women Voters of Marin County and MarinKids, a broad-based community group focused on three core issues: access to health care, access to education and the elimination of childhood obesity.
The event was moderated by KPIX TV anchor Dana King, who heads the leadership committee of MarinKids. King asked the candidates her own questions as well as questions submitted by the audience.
King asked Huffman and Roberts what they would do to help the 20 percent of Marin children who live in poverty.
Huffman said, "I will absolutely stand up for our social safety net. I don't believe that is an area that we can afford to cut much further, especially in tough times when people need these services more than ever."
Roberts said, "I come at it from a different direction. Where we make the most impact on the most people is by empowering the families to go out and be creative and have individual choice and freedom and the freedom to excel. Part of that is reducing the taxes on the families and the regulations on businesses."
An audience member wanted to know what the congressional candidates would do to make housing more affordable in the Marin County.
Huffman said he would work to pass cram-down legislation that would force banks to renegotiate mortgages so fewer people would lose their homes. But Roberts said, "That violates every principle that I have. Mortgages are private contracts; they need private solutions. They do not need a top-down approach to solve them."
Another audience member asked the congressional candidates what they would do to make college more affordable.
Roberts blamed the high price of college on government grants. "Every time we have a loan program guess where that money goes; it goes to the institution," Roberts said. "They just jack up the fees so now the fees are much higher than when I went to school. Also, of course, the bureaucracy has grown."
Huffman said he supports the Obama administration's effort to increase federal grants for education while reducing the cost of such grants by eliminating banks from the allocation process.
"By eliminating the middleman, we saved $60 billion," Huffman said. "Unfortunately, the Tea Party folks in Congress think all this has to go. We have to go back to the days of the banks taking a huge cut."
Questions about kids also dominated the debate between Levine and Allen. The candidates were asked what they would do to bolster the state's education system.
Allen said, "It's basically hot air if you're not fighting for increased revenue." Allen said he would work to institute an oil severance tax, to restore the vehicle license fee and would look at the possibility of reforming Proposition 13 so that property taxes on commercial properties could be raised.
Levine responded by criticizing the state Legislature for taking money from education to fund other programs. "We've seen the results of this," Levine said.
King asked the Assembly candidates if they supported Propositions 30 and 38, both of which call for tax increases.
Allen said he supports both. "It would be irresponsible to advocate against either of them," he said.
Levine said he will vote for both measures. But he said, "What we need to do as well is plan for these temporary taxes to expire. We don't want to set ourselves up so that when they expire we're on the very same precipice."

Robert Mann Gallery Opens Paulette Tavormina's First Exhibition Today
Robert Mann Gallery previously announced the representation of Paulette Tavormina.
Tavormina is known for her lavish still life photographs that recall the exquisite detail of seventeenth century Old Master paintings - drawing inspiration from artists including Francisco de Zurbaran, Adriaen Coorte and Giovanna Garzoni to name a few.
An avid collector of objects such as butterflies and insects, shells, dried flowers, dishes and glasses, the sourcing of props is a crucial part of her process. Each object evokes the memory of the place it was discovered - fresh produce from a New York City farmer's market, horseshoe crabs tossed ashore in Nantucket, ladybugs found at a taxidermy shop in Paris. Not only do these objects look to the art historical roots of the genre of the still life, but their meaning is often multi-layered, a fig perhaps referring to the artist's own Sicilian heritage.
Largely self-taught, Tavormina's mastery of the technique is no small feat - her "sets" can take anywhere between three days to a week to perfect. The resulting prints are remarkably delicate and soft in appearance. This beautiful work seems to straddle both 21st century technology and 17th century Old Master influences.
Tavormina has been exhibited internationally and was the 2010 winner of the Grand Prix at the International Culinaire Photography Festival in Paris. Her work has been featured in several publications including The New York Times, The Boston Globe, L'Express, Martha Stewart Living and Photo Technique magazine. She lives and works in New York City.
Paulette Tavormina's first solo show at Robert Mann Gallery will open today, January 17, 2013. For additional images and information, visit the website at www.robertmann.com.
Robert Mann Gallery is located at 525 West 26th Street, New York, NY (between 10th & 11th Avenues). Call 212.989.7600 or email 'email@example.com' for more information. Hours: Tuesday-Friday 10am-6pm, Saturday 11am-6pm.

SoundPrism Pro – Demo by thingstocome
Last night I had some time to hook up SoundPrism Pro (iTunes link) to Ableton Live via the Camera Connection Kit and a small M-Audio MIDI interface I had lying around. I am very pleased that it worked easily and the results are wonderful. I was able to record all the pretty chord and bass selections SoundPrism spit out. It took less than a few minutes to create verse and chorus melodies that work together. In this quick demo I used some free Roland TR-808 samples and a software Korg Wavestation through D16's Devastor distortion. Truly inspirational.

Sub-optimal reproductive performance in the nation's dairy industry has prompted leading industry stakeholders to be proactive in tackling this issue head-on. Academicians who focus on reproduction and allied industries that support the dairy industry joined forces to create the Dairy Cattle Reproduction Council to raise the level of knowledge on issues critical to enhanced reproductive performance. The DCRC has established a stakeholder network and education platform to raise awareness of management techniques that can enhance reproduction on dairy operations. This effort targets dairy producers and the consultants who influence reproductive management.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- Visitors to the Cincinnati Zoo can now return to the zoo's historic reptile house after a two-month renovation.
The reptile house opened Saturday and follows a renovation to restore the original look of the building constructed in 1875 and meet the zoo's green initiatives.
Renovations to the building on the National Register of Historic Places included replacement of the old roof with a new architecturally appropriate and sustainable one including skylights, gutters and downspouts to help with storm water management.
Officials say the exterior walls were cleaned and insulated glass was installed to protect the building's interior during the winter and summer.
New paint and carpeting were added inside the building.
A grant from the National Park Service provided $408,886 to renovate and update the reptile house

FIREFIGHTERS across East Lancashire are staging a 24-hour strike, which started at 9am today.
The industrial action is the longest in a three-year campaign by the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) against an 'unworkable' pension scheme.
The move comes after the Government confirmed it would implement a new scheme without further negotiations.
A shorter strike is planned for Saturday, June 21, from 10am to 5pm.
Between the two strikes, firefighters will not carry out any voluntary overtime or conduct training of strikebreakers.
Under the Government's proposals, firefighters who are forced to retire before the age of 60 on health grounds will have half of their pension taken away.

For Immediate Release
Unemployment remains one of the key issues for young people in Azerbaijan, particularly for young women. It is difficult for youth to find jobs or to start their own businesses after they finish their education. One of the main reasons for youth unemployment is the lack of experience, at the same time that employers are raising their entry requirements for new employees.
In order to empower the next generation of business leaders, in December 2012 USAID in partnership with British Petroleum and the American Chamber of Commerce in Azerbaijan (AmCham) launched a Youth Business Leadership project. The project provides 3rd and 4th year university students from Baku and Ganja with opportunities to gain real world employment experience through internships at various private companies, and to develop their business management knowledge beyond the classroom. The program also provides the interns with mentorship opportunities, linking successful businessmen and businesswomen who can offer guidance on career planning.
Junior Achievement Azerbaijan (JAA), implementer of the Youth Business Leadership project, selected the first group of 25 students from Azerbaijan State Economic University and Baku State University to provide them with the opportunity to practice work-readiness skills and explore career opportunities in the real work environment. Throughout February-April 2013, the students participated in the extensive internship program at Azerfon LLC, Seabak, Madad, Reform Centre, AECOM, Goldenpay, and FINCA. Instructed by their mentors – the staff members of the hosting companies – the students conducted self-assessments, explored the work of the companies' departments, learned about staff responsibilities, and received instructions on employer expectations.
One of the interns from Azerbaijan State Economic University, Nijat Akhundov, was placed at Azerfon, a mobile telecommunications company. As intern Nijat assisted the sales analysis department and learned criteria of sales vision, how to define sales strategies and channels, to work with data, to explore fundamentals of analysis and analytical logic, and to prepare reports on multiple sales channels.
"I am so lucky to have this chance to intern at Azerfon as this experience is invaluable to me," said Nijat upon graduating from the internship. After the internship program Nijat received a job offer from Azerfon to join its team as a Junior Analyst at the Sales Performance Analyzing Department.
Nijat's mentor Toghrul Talibzadeh praised his skills and potential to "... further work at Azerfon due to his strong analytical thinking, and ability to meet the deadlines, being constructive in decision-making."
Overall, the project will provide 120 students with internships in reputable companies identified by AmCham based on their compliance with international labor standards. The program will actively solicit participation from women to ensure that 60 percent of the internships go to support women.

In this great city of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around New York. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
It's not the main sandwich attraction at Margon (that'd be the cuban, or the pernil, or maybe the media noche), but the steak sandwich at the Cuban Midtown lunch spot should not be overlooked.
Two thin pieces of tender peppered steak are grilled to order, topped with grilled onions, and placed on a lightly crusty bun. The meat releases just enough juice to moisten and flavor the bread without turning it into a soggy mess. The handful of potato sticks showered on top of the sandwich, as is done at many Cuban-style burger joints, is an unexpected way to round out the meal but not an unwelcome one.

New for 2015
The Ford F-350 Super Duty sees chassis revisions and more power from the 6.7-liter turbodiesel V-8, which results in an increased towing capacity and higher gross combination weight rating.
Vehicle Overview
The Ford F-350 is a full-size heavy duty truck that comes with a gasoline or diesel engine, and is available in trims from the sufficient XL to the luxurious Platinum. The F-350 is available with three cab styles, and is the heaviest truck available in a standard cab. The F-350 sits above the F-250 and below the F-450 in capability and price in the Ford truck lineup.
The 2015 Ford F-350 Super Duty has two available engines, a gasoline and a diesel powerplant, and pairs both with a six-speed automatic that drives the rear wheels, but can be paired with a four-wheel-drive system. The gasoline-fed 6.2-liter V-8 produces 385 hp and 405 lb-ft of torque in models less than 10,000 pounds GVWR, but 316 hp and 397 lb-ft of torque in models over 10,000 pounds GVWR. The EPA doesn't rate heavy duty truck, so fuel economy numbers are not available, but expect the turbodiesel V-8 to be more efficient. That 6.7-liter turbodiesel V-8 cranks out a segment-leading 440 hp and 860 lb-ft of torque, making it the obvious choice for the most demanding applications. Maximum towing capacity is 19,000 pounds with a conventional hitch, and 26,700 pounds with a fifth wheel/gooseneck hitch, both with the turbodiesel. The gross combined weight rating (GCWR) increases to 35,000 pounds for 4WD Crew Cab models equipped with the diesel, and maximum payload increases to 7,260 pounds.
The Ford F-350 has not been crash tested by the NHTSA or the IIHS.
What We Think
The Ford F-Series Super Duty line comprises the most capable trucks in the segment, and in 2011 we sampled an F-350 King Ranch (more power and chassis upgrades added capability for 2015, but the truck is otherwise the same). "The truck itself feels quite stable on the road, especially when you consider how tall the 4x4s stands and how much it weighs (ours tipped the scales at almost 3.5 tons)," we wrote. "Much of the truck's new-found responsiveness has to do with a new, heavier duty steering box, weighing and sizing about double the one it replaced. Although the suspension and frame are slightly modified, the fine-tuning has made a noticeable improvement in ride quality, especially when driving empty."
Capability was impressive when the revised Super Duty was launched in 2011, and with the improvement for 2015 it has made an already great truck even better. If you simply need to haul the most, and maybe even want to do it in unmatched comfort, Ford has a truck for you.

Dear Members,
I would like to thank "plwk" who replied my article with 'the Buddhist cat', it sparks my curiosity to find the story...and here it goes:
There was a story in the paper about a special temple cat in South Korea. This cat was found as a kitten with burnt injuries 4 yrs ago by the abbot. The abbot saved it and gave it a Dharma name "Liberation". The abbot also gave the kitten 3 precepts for staying in the monastery:
1) to refrain from making noise in the temple
2) to refrain from eating meat and
3) to refrain from killing.
Amazingly the kitten could understand the instructions and has never violated the precepts since then. In addition, the cat spent hours everyday in the temple venerating the Buddha, leaving reluctantly only for its strictly vegetarian meal.
I love this cute Buddhist cat.

6-24 in the 1st Quarter.
Oh man, it's not much fun to watch this team these days..
wow we are horrible...3-5...yikes...
they almost doubled what we scored...
now that we got the bad quarter out of the way...maybe we can start to play?
So...does our offense involve attacking the basket at all? Because right now the offense kinda breaks down to this: "pass the ball until you get an open shot, then shoot no matter what."
The Wizards' big men don't have to worry about foul trouble at all.
we have no offense - jacking up shots randomly like Stephen Jackson should not be constituted as offense
Man again the shots aren't falling.
Maybe it's time we drive to the basket a little more and get to the line?
Maceo Baston's #1 fan on Pacers Digest!
we need shooters and defenders
wow ballboy hits a shot - are pigs flyin outside your window?
People were just fine with this offense when it was scoring 40 a quarter.
Do people forget that JOB was the coach that took a shot jacking Antoine Walker (the 2nd best player on that team) all the way to the ECFs? They used exactly that kind of offense.
Danny looks apathetic at best out there. Did someone slip him a roofie?
And rebounders, and ballhandlers... and passers...
Actually, scratch ballhandlers. Both Quis and Jamaal are pretty nifty dribblers. At least we have that going for us.
OMG, they're really horrible..
lead passes 20 i'm off to bed - its already 1:45am...not worth watching this crap 2 nights in a row
no we do not score 40pts with this offense - that offense had some movement! this is all just stand around and dribble till you are ready to jack up the shot...
I swear when you suck...all the calls go against you it seems.
the fact that my fantasy team is doing as bad as the Pacers really hits a nerve
I'm already getting weary of Mark Boyle's usage of the phrase "significant margin" 8 games into the season.
The best exercise of the human heart is reaching down and picking someone else up.
Foster is the only one that looks like he is ready to play - nice pass there
well considerin' that we're shooting...ok wouldn't call it shooting really...at 27% and still down by only 13 and we are in a good position....pfft
when you "flood the paint" - the whole idea is to flash flood - not just stay in for all these damn 3 sec technicals

Hi Kalyn:ReplyDelete
Thanks for posting about curly parsley. Yes, she is the queen of umbel family with greenish-yellow flowers and aromatic and curled leaves. I love Parsley.
For this weekend's herb, I have selected keerai - another leafy wonder. Here is the link - http://mydhaba.blogspot.com/2005/11/keerai-weekend-herb.html. See you on Sunday evening.
Great post. I don't know what I would do without parsley in my garden! : )ReplyDelete
Hi KalynReplyDelete
Chopping parsley is always like breathing fresh air, isn't it? It smells so....HEALTHY.
Also good to know that it stimulates the digestive system ( smart mother!) and helps reduce flatuence. So everybody, eat your parsley!
I totally missed the 10 kids post--I thought I came from a big family, being one of 4 kids!ReplyDelete
Beautiful photos, Kalyn. :)
One Saturday afternoon I was filled in for my father and took my mother to the opera (I'm not an opera-lover myself) and we stopped into the Falafel House for a bite to eat on the way. The owner has sitting at a back table with a huge bowl filled with parsley that she was running through a Cuisinart to make tabouleh.
Oy, yoh, yoh... What a smell that place had. Hot oil, cigarette smoke, some kind of fresh-bread odor, and the rainey smell fresh parsley pervading everything.
Hi Kalyn, the parslel looks wonderful and you are certainly right about curly parsley being awesome in tabbouli although I still prefer flat leaf in most dishes.ReplyDelete
Here's the link to my weekend herb blogging.

OAKLAND — Jack Fearey was sound asleep Monday morning in his rented house on Snake Road in the Oakland hills when he heard a crash.
"I thought I was dreaming, rolled over and went back to sleep," he said later.
What he did not know, until police knocked on his door about 8:40 a.m., was that a more than 40-foot pine tree had fallen over from the yard next door, landing on his roof and causing thousands of dollars of damage.
Unscathed by the fallen tree, Fearey said "I didn't realize what it was until the cops show up at my door and said 'A tree has fallen through your roof.'"
He said firefighters showed up as well to make sure no one was hurt and all was clear.
High winds in the area, coupled with erosion from recent storms, may have played a role in the tree falling, officials said.
The pine tree fell from the yard of one house in the 7000 block of Snake Road onto Fearey's home. The houses are about a mile south of Skyline Boulevard.
As the tree fell, it caught the branches of another tree, bringing them down with it onto the roof of the damaged home.
The fallen tree was discovered by Frank Chavez, a tree specialist who had come to the neighboring house to evaluate another tree for possible removal. Chavez said the tree tumbled after the owners of the house whose property it is on had gone to work.
Hours after the tree fell, winds were still blowing briskly in the area. Fearey said he took notice of the high winds Sunday night while driving back from San Francisco but had no idea what was to befall him.
Fearey said his parents live in Connecticut and just came through Hurricane Sandy, so a tree through his roof, he said, "seems minor compared to what they are facing."
Authorities said some power lines were also brought down by the falling tree, but only one home in the area apparently lost power.
Correspondent Nanci L. Valcke contributed to this report.

YOUNGSTERS enjoyed a taste of Italy when they made their own pizzas to celebrate a city restaurant re-opening.
A team of 15 children from South Wonston Primary School and their parents were invited to Pizza Express in Winchester for a special pizza making party.
The City Bridge Road restaurant reopens with a new menu today (June 11) after four months of repairs.
The Grade II listed building based in the original part of the Old Mill on the River Itchen was forced to close in February when it was struck by the winter floods.
The 20 members of staff have also returned after spending the closure at other branches. They have been joined by four new teammates.

Keep One Foot Out the Door
As longtime readers will know, I watch both the time and price axis of the market to help determine when a move may be ending, even if only temporarily. Currently, Priceline (PCLN) is flashing technical signs of both kinds that its current rally may be coming to an end.
On the price axis, I watch for Fibonacci extensions of prior swings as well as symmetry projections -- that is, 100% projections, or "measured moves" of prior swings in the same direction. Fibonacci price extensions are essentially retracements of prior swings beyond 100%. The extension ratios that I typically use are 1.272, 1.618 and 2.618, and I will watch for possible support or resistance when one of these ratios is approached....456 more words left in this article.

Topic: Chemo or radiation: a tough choice
As many of you know, I was on Gem/Ox last fall and it did a wonderful job of shrinking not only the tumor, but the affected lymph nodes. It also had to be cut short after only 6 treatments because of neuropathy in my feet.
After months of no treatment, my March 2012 CT scan showed increased growth in the tumor and a periportal lymph node. The same node? I am not sure.
Dr. K. decided we should try Gem/Xeloda for 4 cycles. The tumor has shrunk again. Unfortunately, the lymph node (actually more than one, but called one node for some reason) has grown so large it is dangerously close to my "good" bile ducts, among other things.
My surgeon, Dr. Fong, was very confused when he walked into the consult room and saw me. He expected to see someone sick. He looked at the paperwork and back at me and didn't know what to say. He actually said he needed a minute....
Then he said surgery is not an option at present. It would probably cause more harm than good in that he would probably leave cells there free to roam throughout the body. I asked him why the nodes grew on Xeloda when the tumor shrunk. One thing I have not seen on this board yet (not that it hasn't been stated) is this:
When the cc mets to another organ, etc., it often mutates so the cell structure is not the same. It is still cc, but there is enough difference that it may or may not react to the same treatments.
Kind of an important thing for everyone to know and remember just in case.
Here's my predicament: both doctors want me to have radiation. I want to know if it's the same node as last year. If it's the same node, chances are it's the same cell structure as last year, I would assume. And I know oxaliplatin worked on it.
I still have neuropathy in my feet, although it is a little better than a few months ago. I want to try oxaliplatin for 2 cycles if it is the same node(s). Dr. K doesn't want to give it to me. She asked if I understood what I was chancing. I said yes. She doesn't want to give me nerve damage for the rest of my life. I asked her if she could promise right now that I already didn't have nerve damage to my feet. Obviously the answer is no, she can't promise that.
I still want quality of life over quantity of life. BUT, if I have a good chance oxy will work, I am willing to chance having neuropathy for the rest of my life. And that's a lot for me to know I may have to give up. I dance, walk, dance, ride a motorcycle, and did I mention dance? With neuropathy, dancing is hard. There has to be a happy medium somewhere. And I figure what more harm can 2 cycles do?
At what point do you demand that your doctors listen more closely??? At what point do you demand to try what YOU want???
I know this is a little ranty and I hope what I'm trying to convey and ask is clear. I just don't know which road to take, and I'm hoping she will start to cooperate with my questions, etc. Maybe I'll call Dr. Fong and see if HE will answer the node question....
"Don't just have minutes in the day; have moments in time."
Any opinions I give are based on personal experiences, and are not based on medical knowledge. I strongly suggest receiving medical care and opinions.

Cleveland Cavaliers/Gund Arena
Sussman/Prejza & Co., Inc., Culver City, California, 1994
Sussman/Prezja's work for the Cavalier's basketball team began with graphics and interiors for their new 21,000-seat Gund Arena in downtown Cleveland, which they will share with other sports teams, entertainers, and events. This particular application is part of an overall graphic program that features floor and wall patterns, fabrics, interior color, signage, and other arena amenities, including the planning and design of a restaurant and sports bar. The designer's dynamic imagery was inspired by powerful industrial forms – lakefront bridges and factories – and the physical forms of the players and performers who will to use the arena. As the project evolved, the scope of work increased: the redesign of the new team logo, a new playing floor, and team uniforms and warmup suits. The existing Cavalier's mark was reworked as a more dynamic and useful as a system of graphic identification.

SANTA CRUZ -- Wrapped in kelp with playful furry paws smashing abalone shells before their curious faces, sea otters really know how to pull our heartstrings. But are these charismatic creatures also warriors against climate change?
UC Santa Cruz biologist Chris Wilmers said he thinks they are. In fact, he suggests that sea otters could one day play an official role in California's new mandatory cap-and-trade system. The nation's first comprehensive mandatory program limiting the amount of carbon dioxide companies emit begins Tuesday with the start of the new year.
Wilmers' logic: Sea otters eat sea urchins that would otherwise devour kelp, allowing kelp forests to thrive and capture carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. When the kelp dies, it drags carbon out of the atmosphere onto the seafloor. Thus, if wildlife management groups were somehow able to increase otter populations, they could increase kelp growth and help cool the planet.
Wilmers and his colleagues presented the otter's case in a recent edition of Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, a journal of the Ecological Society of America.
They estimated that the otter population off the Pacific coast from Vancouver Island to Alaska each year captures the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by roughly 100,000 automobiles.
The team suggested that otter management groups could potentially sell the otter's carbon-capturing services and use the profits toward increasing otter populations.
Steve Shimek, director of the Otter Project in Monterey, said he is intrigued. He suggests the nonprofit group could theoretically seed new populations in regions with plenty of urchins but not much kelp. He and other otter advocates say that inserting otters into the cap-and-trade system is not as simple as identifying their carbon-capturing skills and spurring their growth.
The cap-and-trade program is a legally complicated system. Companies are allotted a certain amount of carbon "allowances" that set a limit on their emissions. If a company cannot meet its limits, it can either buy leftover allowances from another company, or offset up to 8 percent of its emissions by investing in carbon offset credits.
Designated by the California Air Resources Board, carbon offset credits qualify as environmental processes scientifically proven to reduce atmospheric greenhouse gases.
The board has four carbon offset categories: forestry management, tree planting in urban areas, capture and destruction of methane emissions from livestock manure, and destruction of coolant gases. Whereas the first two directly suck carbon out of the atmosphere, the latter two eliminate existing greenhouse gases.
Legally establishing these categories takes time. The forestry project alone took a decade to make scientific sense within the framework of carbon credits, said board spokesman Stanley Young.
Otters currently do not fit into any of these categories. And Wilmers, an assistant professor in UCSC's Environmental Studies Department, acknowledges that getting them in the game would be difficult.
"Literally trying to do that in the future would take a lot of work," he said.
But officials involved in evaluating offset programs for the board say the idea is not entirely out of the question. The board, eventually, intends to expand its list. A wetland management category, for example, is among the most promising potential additions -- and has been in the works for several years.
The success of this project could bode well for a future otter category: Like otter management, wetland management requires monitoring ecosystem-wide dynamics, rather than simply planting trees.
But wetland management and otter management still differ in one important respect: scale.
Wetlands exist along all our coasts; sea otters do not. They span discrete regions dotting only the West Coast. As a result, otter management groups are relatively small and might not be able to pay the tens of thousands of dollars in fees to legalize a category with the board.
"If you're not issuing too many credits because you're small, there is a certain point that you're not covering your cost," said Gary Gero, president of the Climate Action Reserve, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit organization that helps the board establish greenhouse gas reduction protocols. "The smaller the project, the harder it is."
Costs aside, small groups also might not qualify for the market simply on the basis of being small. Gero notes that projects must span a large enough region to qualify under board standards.
Yet another obstacle is measuring the exact amount of carbon captured by kelp. Kelp growth varies from year to year depending on ocean conditions and weather patterns -- and unpredictable winter storms can also knock out entire forests.
On top of this, wildlife management groups would need to explicitly prove that they were actually responsible for increasing kelp growth, Young said.
Shimek's theory of taking otters from existing populations and planting them in new places with lots of urchins could work, but would be difficult to implement.
A similar tactic succeeded in the 1960s and '70s when the Atomic Energy Commission transplanted otters from nuclear testing sites nearby Amchitka Island, Alaska, and brought them down to the Washington and Oregon coasts to protect them from nuclear fallout, Shimek said.
"The theory is good," he said. But since the California population is listed as an endangered species, "you probably could not deal with these otters in such a heavy-handed way."
And while the Amchitka project ultimately succeeded, many otters initially died in transit as the team figured out how to safely transport them.
"Our mission is the recovery of the sea otter," Shimek said. "Our mission is not carbon sequestration. It does not make sense to our mission to go kill sea otters to sequester carbon."
But even if enrolling otters in the California carbon market is a distant possibility, biologists agree that otters will continue to help cool the climate on their own.

|If you wake up with snow on the ground in April, this Barley Minestrone can help.
(Makes 6-8 servings, recipe adapted very slightly from Barley Minestrone at Fine Cooking.)
1 T olive oil (plus a little more if needed to saute vegetables)
1/2 cup very finely diced Canadian Bacon (or use a smaller amount of diced pancetta or bacon)
2 cups coarsely diced cabbage (savoy cabbage is best, but regular green cabbage will work)
1 cup finely diced yellow onion
1 cup sliced carrots (use small carrots, or cut slices in half)
1/4 cup finely diced celery
1 tsp. minced garlic
8 C chicken stock, plus a little more if needed (I used homemade chicken stock, but you can use canned chicken broth)
1 cup water
1 can (14.5 oz.) petite diced tomatoes with juice
1/2 cup pearl barley, rinsed (thanks to Karina for the suggestion to use quinoa for gluten-free version)
1 sprig fresh rosemary (probably optional, but adds a lot of flavor)
small piece of Parmesan rind (probably optional, but adds a lot of flavor)
1 can (15 oz.) red kidney beans, rinsed
salt and pepper to taste
freshly grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Everybody loves Disney. With most of our visitors here in Wildwood also making the journey to Orlando, including myself many times over the past several years, I also find it just as exciting to visit Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure in Anaheim.
I was lucky enough to spend 4 days at the 2 parks and one full evening in the parking garage walking 5 levels seeking out a blue Ford Focus rental car. Always write down where you park, especially if it is in one the largest parking structures in the United States.
Disneyland , still impressive after 55 years, also has some exclusive attractions unto itself, such as the Blue Bayou Restaurant, overlooking the interior of a much larger Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. The timeless Matterhorn, the first steel coaster ever built, and the newer Indiana Jones Ride still command very long lines. Space Mountain and Thunder Mountain are still thrilling coasters even in today's modern age.
Disneyland still does all the 'detailed' things that make a theme park so special. Immensely busy year round, you can still find many Christmas decorations throughout the park in January. It's a Small World, refitted with tens of thousands of holiday lights, even has a new musical soundtrack inside. I hope you love 'Jingle Bells' in different languages, as you will hear it for at least 12 minutes.
In California, when you want to "park hop," you simply walk across the plaza to the neighboring California Adventure Park. The most popular section is the Paradise Pier area, a throwback to the many west coast amusement areas that have dotted the Pacific Coast shoreline. California Screamin' is the major coaster here and arguably the best roller coaster in the Disney Empire. Comprised of a steel structure and painted to look like seaside wood, California Screamin' is fast, smooth, and full of fun.
Adjacent to California Screamin' guests will find Toy Story Mania and Mickey's Fun Wheel, complete with swinging cars just like the Wonder Wheel at Coney Island (not for the faint of heart). The newer 'classics' folks can find throughout the park include the orginal "Soarin," "World of Color," '"It's a Bug's Life," and my favorite "The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror".
Guests returning to this park in the next year will find two new "E" ticket rides- "Voyage of the Little Mermaid" and "Radiator Springs Racers."
All this excitement leads to a tiring day and having several friends who are full time Disney Managers, including Mark T., a 44 year veteran who is always happy to give some cool behind the scenes guided tours. 20,000 employees need to have parking, wardrobe, break areas, and cafeterias all somewhere on property. The 'Happiest Place on Earth' is also a crowded place on Earth, or in Anaheim.

ATLANTA—Kentucky coach John Calipari is attempting to redefine, sort of, the options available when his Wildcats take the floor for one of their early non-conference games.
For instance, when UK faces Duke at 9:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Champions Classic doubleheader at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta: "It's either we win or we learn."
Calipari has been head coach at Kentucky long enough to understand how angrily the vast fan base can react to what he now calls "learning." They know it by that other L-word.
The Wildcats avoided a bleak night in their state by squeezing out a 72-69 victory over Maryland in their opener Friday, but Calipari discovered a variety of areas in which his team—which featured four freshmen playing an average of nearly 29 minutes each—was ill-prepared to put itself on public display.
—Rebounding. Maryland missed 50 shots against the length presented inside by centers Nerlens Noel and Willie Cauley-Stein, but the Terps got back 28 of those and won the rebounding battle overall, 54-38.
Calipari said on a Monday morning conference call, "We hadn't spent a whole lot of time on rebounding, other than scrimmaging and playing. We didn't rebound. Because I thought, 'We're so big and long, we'll be able to rebound.' Well, if you don't work on it, they don't know it."
—Zone offense. Maryland employed a 1-3-1 for which UK was entirely unprepared according to its coach. "The guys looked over at me. We hadn't worked on zone yet, zone offense. "They looked at me and I said, 'Move the ball.' That's a great zone offense." Calipari said he shouted at freshman forward Alex Poythress to get to the middle of the zone, where a teammate found him for a dunk that chased the Terps out of their zone. "Thank goodness," Calipari said.
—Press offense. The Wildcats had only 12 turnovers in the game, but Calipari did not feel his team was adequately prepared to face an extended defense. "We'll be better if we're pressed," he said.
Calipari said what he saw against Maryland convinced him to change some of the practice plans for the weekend leading up to the Duke game.
"I'm trying to get us to be solid in a few things right now, which we're not," Calipari said. "What I liked was the will to win at the end of the game. We are where we are right now. We're a mid-November team. We'll be right 30 percent of the time. We're wrong 70 percent.
"My concern right now is, when they really get after us, how do we respond? When they make a run, which they're going to do, how do we respond? This is what I'm going to learn about my team."

A Brief History of Christmas Lights
We know that 3D printing is making it easier for inventors everywhere to create prototypes of their designs. At Virginia Tech, students can even get a prototype the same way they'd buy a can of Coke. The campus is now home to the Dream Vendor, a one-of-a-kind vending machine made up of four Makerbot Thing-O-Matic 3D printers, each one loaded with a different-color plastic. Users insert a personal SD card loaded with a file of their CAD-drawn 3D model into one of the machine's four interface boards. The selected printer then builds the 3D model layer by layer in cross-sections.
A cross between Dance Dance Revolution and a 1980s soda commercial, this vending machine in a South Korean mall will give a free Coke to anyone with enough dancing skill. Players begin by standing on a red circle in front of the machine and watching the built-in multipanel video display. On the screen, members of local boy band 2PM start to groove. You're supposed to emulate their steps, and the better you do, the better your chances of nabbing the prize. The vending machine/video game uses Microsoft's Kinect, a motion-sensing input device that tracks a user's moves with an infrared projector, to decide whether you've got the moves.

Pharmacy and Medications
Mixing 4 Different Downers
a dr. prescribed cyclobenzaprine 10, qualaquin 324, hydrocdone-apap 10-325,andalpazolam 0.5 for him to take daily this seems like enough to put him in a comotose state. please help us he thinks he has to take these 11 pills as prescribed. he suffers from abroken neck years ago and legg cramps and cant sleep a whole night. but is all this safe for him
Not all of the listed medications would be classified as "downers."
Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxer and can certainly cause some drowsiness.
Hydrocodone with acetaminophen is a pain medication that can cause drowsiness, but is generally prescribed to be taken only when needed. If the patient is taking the hydrocodone regularly, there may be better options available to treat pain. Overuse of this medication can lead to acetaminophen toxicity, too.
Alprazolam is a benzodiazepine that is generally used to treat anxiety, but may also help with muscle spasms. Like the hydrocodone, this is generally taken only when needed, though it can be scheduled to be taken regularly.
The medication you have listed as qualaquin is also known as quinine. Quinine is an anti-malarial drug that also reduces excitability of muscles. It reduces twitching or leg cramps, and should not cause much drowsiness. In the United States, the FDA has mandated that all forms of quinine be removed from the market for any use other than treating malaria. Studies have shown that the risk of toxicity from quinine, including severe and fatal cardiac arrhythmias, which outweigh any benefit to using the drug to treat muscle cramps or spasms.
Many patients are different. Some have a high tolerance for medications that may make them drowsy; some are more affected by them. If the patient has already been on some of these medications and is tolerating them, then adding one medication at a time should be tolerated. If these are all new medications, I suggest asking the prescriber if it is acceptable to start the medications one at a time and add a new one after a few days or a week to make sure the patient tolerates them all.

The Alliance has prophesied complete development of the known universe by the turn of the millennium. Huge, powerful mega-corporations run it all from behind the scenes. The Twelve Races of the Alliance work as caretakers, testing the horizon of knowledge, extending to touch the farthest reaches of space. Frontier Colonies populate neighboring bodies: Andromeda, Fornax, Spirax (M33), and the Magellanic Clouds. Posts dot the cluster galaxy of M32 in Ursa Major, some 100,000 light years from Terra. The continuing battle rages onward to drive out the Arachnids. Reports of ghost ships all filter their way across the vast, empty nothingness to the hearts of the bold, strong, and curious. There is a demand for warriors, for men and women with the metal and vision to protect the lives of the innocent. The call for assistance can be heard across the galaxies, as colony worlds struggle to survive in the morass of conflict, uncertainty, and danger. The word goes out from the isolated reaches of The Thendrax Empire in Spirax to the urban centers of the Industrial Provinces of the Fornax galaxy. "Come. Bring your weapons. Bring your courage. Bring your honor. It's showtime!" And so the mega-corporations have hired on a few good men to get the job done. They are referred to as Battlelords. Some are veterans of war. Others are not. But they all have one thing in common. Each believes that he can make a difference. They come from everywhere, from the vast savannahs of Cashoulis, to the infernal volcanic regions of Trishmag. From the methane hell of Eridine, to the great Seas of Pythos, these warriors come. They are energy controllers, bounty hunters, Swordsaints and changelings, aliens from different worlds, with different agendas, thrown together in a morass of danger to carve out a common destiny together.

DALY CITY -- World Golf Hall of Famer Juli Inkster is ecstatic that the LPGA is returning to the Bay Area for the first time in four years.
She's also OK with the new tournament's provocative name, Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic, which will be held at Lake Merced Golf Club here from April 24-27.
"I'll be in a swinging skirt, too, by the way. You know me, I love a skirt," joked Inkster, a Santa Cruz native, at Monday's kickoff event for the tournament.
Inkster believes the "skirts" theme fits with today's young, power-hitting players.
"It's what these girls are," she said. "They want to beat your brains out, but at night they wear the stilettos and the dresses and the skirts. They're girls. They're women. They're young ladies. I think it's great."
The Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic is sponsored by The Swinging Skirts Golf Team, a Taiwanese nonprofit group of amateur golfers committed to growing the game globally.
The tournament marks the first LPGA event in the Bay Area since CVS/pharmacy dropped its sponsorship after the 2010 event held at Blackhawk Country Club. The new event will boast a culturally diverse, 144-player field and a $1.8 million purse, with a $270,000 winner's check.
Consider Inkster, 53, who has 31 LPGA titles -- including seven major championships -- a great source for perspective on the women's game. The former San Jose State star has more than $13 million in earnings, after winning three consecutive U.S. Women's Amateurs from 1980 to 1982.
Her prolific career winding down, she will play 12 LPGA events this year and work as a course reporter for the Golf Channel for five.
"It's just time," she said. "I still love to compete. I still love to play, but I think there's other opportunities out there for me to try something different. I kind of want to see how the whole Golf Channel thing does because I do like talking.
"I love the girls. I love being out there. I love watching them play. If I can add a little bit of zip to the telecast, we'll see."
She thinks it's important for the LPGA to be in the mix in a crowded Bay Area sports market.
"Women's golf has changed so much in the last 10 years," Inkster said. "I think it'd be great to have people really see how well we can play, and how well these girls can hit the ball. ... I think it's a different LPGA than it was 10 years ago. It's important for young girls to come out here and see role models, and say, 'Hey, I can do that.' "
Despite the Bay Area's rich golf history, the women's professional game has struggled to gain traction. Local courses haven't always been willing to keep the ball rolling.
"Sometimes I get upset," Inkster said. "We play 52 weeks out of the year, and a lot of clubs don't want to give up their club for a week. ... We go back east, and they get to play for four months out of the year, and they open their club up."
The Swinging Skirts is a late addition to the LPGA schedule, which opened with the Bahamas LPGA Classic on Jan. 26.

Update: Elissa back on for Algeria
She has seen down Algerian Islamists and a boycott campaign over the cost of the show and now Elissa is confirmed as performing in the North African nation. Algeria's Tourism and Culture Committee confirmed that the concert will go ahead on July 2 to celebrate Algeria's fifty years of independence.
Officials blamed Islamic political parties for circulating rumors that the concert had been cancelled but they could also have come from campaign groups angry that Elissa's fee would amount to nearly half the total cost of the festival. According to reports, she will get 90,000 US dollars for the performance.
Elissa shot down reports of any postponement, though, saying that all preparations for the performance were underway and on schedule. At the same time, Algerian officials warned that anyone attempting to make commotion during her concert would face intense security measures.
Do you think Elissa should play in Algeria? Tell us your thoughts below.

Beginning with a Ducati 999R, Shinya Kimura stripped off the stock plastic and replaced it with hand-beaten and riveted metal bodywork to create the Edge. The effect is a bike that looks like a beaten up old space ship, something emphasized by how well the organic metal complements the fussy plumbing of the water-cooled 150bhp v-twin. Having said that, this is a beaten up old space ship that's not any faster than a 2005 Earth bike, yet is expected to fetch a galactically exuberant $200,000.
Since we slated the Falcon Kestrel for pandering to a culture that
increasingly likes looking at bikes rather than riding them, it probably
wouldn't be fair not to apply the same criticism to the Edge, even if
we're much bigger fans of Shinya's originality over Falcon's shameless
retro recreation.
Other than integrating the exhaust into the tailpiece, it doesn't appear
that Shinya has performed any mechanically significant work on the
999R. There, we said it; $200,000 for some metal bodywork that'll cut
your legs off if you drop it. Criticism applied.
We're much more comfortable with Shinya's work when we don't know that
he's sold it to an upstart car company with no tangible products for six
figures and that it's destined for their Beverly Hills showroom to help
sell their fancy watches. We prefer to think of his bikes as a labor of
love from a mad Japanese genius toiling in a greasy garage. There's
something raw, mean and animal-like in his bikes, as if he's unleashed
an inner personality that was hidden when this thing was painted red.
The bodywork appears to reduce the 999's height while extending its
length, proportions that aren't considered traditionally handsome on
sportsbikes, yet work here precisely because they corrupt the
traditional idea of what a super bike should be.
Like the Kestrel, the Edge will be debuting at the Quail Lodge
Motorcycle Gathering this weekend where we imagine many a monocle will plop out of the eye sockets and into the cocktail glasses of wealthy attendees due to the mere
sight of it.

I have a 162 gram Sidewinder. Only on my very best throws can I make it fly flat and straight, much less turn right even a little at 100' out, and I've practiced a lot. Most throws just hyzer. I'm 52, and maybe I just can't throw it fast enough. So I decided to experiment with weight. I bought a 125 gram Sidewinder. It goes 100', turns right, and heads for the ground. So I bought a 143 gram Sidewinder and a 135 gram Beast. Both these discs turn pretty hard right, too, but not as bad - but forget throwing them into a headwind.
I can throw them in still air or with a tailwind, with a little hyzer angle on them, and almost get them to turn a pretty "S" curve, but they are picky. The list bit off, and the discs go hyzer, or anhyzer, and wind up way off to the right or left. Even when I get it right, I only get 275' feet out of them, which as good as I've ever done with any disc. (How in the world do people throw 350'...)
So, is weight that critical? Should I get something just a bit heavier until I find the disc that is just right. Or am I doing something wrong, keeping me from throwing these discs is a nice "S" curve? I'm getting frustrated. It's beginning to look like getting everything right for good, clean throws has so many variables that I'll never get even close to consistent. Somebody shed some light on this before I give up.

12 Days of Cookies – Peppermint Sandies
For my second cookie, I decided to try a new recipe. Hubby isn't a huge fan of peppermint, but I enjoy it during the holidays. Last year, I made some peppermint truffles and cupcakes that were very good. I choose these Peppermint Sandies because they looked so cute and easy to make. I took them to work and of course they disappeared in no time. I wasn't a huge fan of the texture. Mine may have been a bit undercooked? I took them out after 13 minutes right when the bottoms were starting to brown. Also, the recipe said that it makes 4 dozen, I only got 28 cookies. I used my usual cookie scoop but maybe mine were bigger than what they were supposed to be.
Hubby served as a guest photographer for these cookies as well. He did all the setup including choosing a background and staging the shot. Nice work again Hubby!
Peppermint Sandies – from Better Homes and Gardens – makes 2-4 dozen
1 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup finely crushed striped round peppermint candies
1 tablespoon water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whipping cream
6 ounces white baking chocolate
Crushed striped round peppermint candies
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In a large bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add powdered sugar and the 1/4 cup crushed peppermint candies. Beat until combined, scraping side of bowl occasionally. Beat in water, vanilla, and peppermint extract until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake about 15 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; cool.
Meanwhile, for glaze: In a medium saucepan, bring whipping cream just to simmering. Remove from heat. Add white chocolate; let stand for 3 minutes. Stir until smooth. Let stand for 45 to 60 minutes or until glaze starts to thicken.
Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the glaze over each cooled cookie. Sprinkle with additional crushed peppermint candies. Let stand until glaze is set. Makes about 48 cookies.

What an adorable idea! I don't think I could do 12 days of cookies (I am still brain dead from NaBloPoMo!) but I look forward to getting some new recipes from your 12 days!
These look adorable and so festive!
These are some of the cutest Christmas cookies I've seen!
Thanks everyone. I'm hoping I can actually get 12 cookies made by the end of the month. I'm going as a slow pace and got a late start so we'll see how it goes.
I never was a fan of peppermint flavored cookies either, but last I tried a chocolate-peppermint truffle that was wonderful. My husband is crazy for all things peppermint, so he would love these. Thanks for the festive entry, Jen! 🙂

Valerie Gill hadn't expected the response she got when first floating the idea of hosting an art walk at a few businesses in downtown Willoughby.
Now she's leading a new nonprofit organization comprised of several shops and restaurants putting on an inaugural Downtown Willoughby Art Walk Friday evening.
"It started off with my business and a few other businesses having an event to get people in our doors," said Gill, owner of Edge Hair Studio on West Spaulding Street, "When I think of downtown Willoughby, I think the bars and restaurants are the entertainment."
Having visited Art Walks in other communities like Columbus and the Tremont neighborhood in Cleveland, Gill thought the concept could work well in Willoughby. The idea is businesses stay open late and showcase a local artist's work. The walk gets people in the doors of places they may normally not have visited before.
"We started to talk about doing it and all these businesses wanted to do it, too," Gill said. "Once it got to that point I said we should be doing it for charity."
That's when Make-A-Wish got involved. For Gill, the charity was a personal choice after she and her daughter were recipients of a wish in 2004.
Then the Downtown Willoughby Bar and Restaurant Association said they'd like to join. Participating restaurants are offering a blue-themed special with part of the proceeds going to Make-A-Wish.
"We wanted to do something to bring the community together," said Jessica Puckrin, who works in marketing and new business development for Glazier Insurance Agency in Willoughby. "I was shocked (at the response). We have 17 downtown businesses that are participating with only three not having artists."
With the growth of the event, which Gill hopes turns into a series of Art Walks benefitting charities, it was decided the best course of action was to start a nonprofit group as the clearest way for getting the money directly to the intended charities.
Downtown Willougby Business Association was born a few weeks ago, Puckrin said. While small -- just Edge Hair Studio, Glazier Insurance and Blue Envelope Boutique are current members -- the group hopes other businesses will help them in their charitable work if Friday's Art Walk is a success.
Puckrin said the businesses and restaurants who volunteered to stay open and host artists doubly impressed her when they contributed additional prizes that will be raffled off at the event.
Make-A-Wish representatives will also be on hand Friday to oversee the raffle. Businesses taking part in Friday's Art Walk will have blue balloons on display signaling their participation.
Erie Street will not be closed during the event, which runs from 5 to 8 p.m., but shops will be utilizing the sidewalk space in front of their stores if weather permits, Gill said.
The local artists being featured represent a wide range of mediums including painting, clothing, jewelry and candles.
"The Downtown Willoughby Business Association's mission is we want to bring local business back here but at the same time doing good for the community," said Gill, who serves as the association's president. "We want people shopping at our shops but we also want to give back, too."

Color Week – Orange
Tuesday is orange day. Sorry for everyone who was looking for a baking post. This blog is becoming multi-purpose. I just don't think I could maintain multiple blogs. So this is going to be my cooking / baking / photography / kitchen renovations blog. Hope you enjoy the change in pace.
Today, the world was against me and color week. We got home late from work and it's rainy and nasty out. So I couldn't make it outside to take pictures. So I'm cheating for color week today. I took these pictures yesterday while I was out finding red things to take pictures of… Sorry for breaking the rules.
This is the a church down the street from us. We have quite a few churches in our neighborhood.
This is an orange house right near our place. It's actually a huge house that is used as a daycare. It's right across the street from a cute little park. I love all the brightly colored houses in our neighborhood.
Hopefully I can be a better color week-er tomorrow and get out and take some yellow pictures after work.
4 Responses to "Color Week – Orange"
Breaking the rules or not, I love the orange shade of the pics you've taken!
Thanks Joelen!
I really like the orange house. And the church picture looks like a postcard. Nice job!
I really like the change of pace from all the posts being about recipes! I am really enjoying the color of the week.

Carlos Mencia Returns to Treasure Island Tonight
Comedic superstar Carlos Mencia will perform at Treasure Island for one night only tonight, July 4 at 9 p.m. Guests must be 18 years or older to attend.
Mencia began his stand-up career performing at The Laugh Factory during amateur night and quickly rose to superstar status. Buscando Estrellas (the Latino version of "Star Search") named Mencia "International Comedy Grand Champion," which opened the door to appearances on television shows including "In Living Color" and "An Evening at the Improv." In 2000, he released a comedy album called "Take a Joke, America" that showcased his brand of confrontational humor.
In 2002, he received a CableACE Award nomination for "Best Stand-Up Comedy Special" for his HBO special, and was featured on "Comedy Central Presents" later that year. In early 2005, "Mind of Mencia" debuted on Comedy Central, which drew an average of 1.5 million viewers. His most recent Comedy Central special, "New Territory," debuted in December 2011. Mencia appeared in Bio Network's
"Celebrity Ghost Stories" in 2012.
Mencia has released multiple CDs and DVDs featuring his stand-up performances, including "Performance Enhanced" (2008), "No Strings Attached" (2006), "Not For The Easily Offended" (2005) and "Down To The Nitty Gritty" (2004).
His acting credits include starring opposite Ben Stiller and Michelle Monaghan in 2007's "The Heartbreak Kid," and in 2010 he starred in "Our Family Wedding" with Forrest Whittaker and America Ferrara.
Tickets are available starting at $49.95, plus tax and handling fees, and can be purchased by calling the box office at 800-392-1999. Purchases can also be made on-line at www.treasureisland.com.

ROMANS Group has secured a £12 million finance facility from its bankers to support its lettings acquisition strategy.
The property company, which has branches in Hampshire, including Basingstoke, as well as in Berkshire and Surrey, has completed four acquisitions in the last year and, since its management buyout six months ago, has further transactions in the pipeline.
Peter Fuller, managing director of Romans Lettings, said: "With our extensive acquisition experience in the local area, capacity and recently secured financing facility we are ready and able to consider any acquisition opportunity and plan to accelerate our rate of growth this year and in the years to come."
Romans was bought by its management team, backed by Bowmark Capital, in 2013 and has since acquired numerous lettings businesses.
"We have built a strong reputation of trust among vendors in the residential lettings arena with our open, straightforward approach which sees us working hand-in-hand and with owners selling their lettings businesses or portfolios," said Mr Fuller.
"As a business we are geared to delivering high levels of customer service to our landlords, and this culture has always appealed to business owners as they have often built up a very loyal landlord base, and want to ensure that these clients continue to be looked after."

What is the Buddhist view,and this community's view, of Chaos vs. Peace? My belief is that Chaos is the opposite of Peace, and that Nature (humans included) are always fighting against Chaos, and bringing their environment, their world, towards Peace or equilibrium. (For example: creating medicine to combat disease, creating shelter to combat the elements, creating religion to combat confusion, the psychological tendency of humans to always categorize things.) I also hold the belief that the cosmos, our environment, our world, is inherently Chaotic. I feel like no matter what we will never discover the smallest atomic particle, nor will we ever learn all that there is to know (intelligence-wise, not wisdom-wise), nor will we ever stop discovering things, nor will we ever be able to completely control Nature.
I love philosophy, and I also enjoy intellectual discussion about it. If this is the wrong forum to discuss things like this, please tell me. I do not wish to overstep my bounds and change this forum into something that it isn't. I just thought that the Buddhists on this forum, with their great wisdom, might give me more insightful answers than others whom with I could discuss these things.
Thanks again,

Today was a good day for jewelry, picked up some great things.
The first bracelet is signed La Rel? Never heard or seen the name before, has anyone else? All the rhinestones are intact and in good condition.
The second is a awesome gold tone Modernest cuff, unsigned but well made.
The Modernest style is very hot at the moment I have seen the prices triple over the last 6 months. Grab them if you find them for a reasonable price, I don't see the trend ending any time soon:) Thanks for looking.

It's duke tumatoe and the power trio...not the all star frogs.
And tumatoe is spelled as shown (I mean, not really, but you know, how the duke spells it.)
Having said that, I don't have it. I'm looking for it. It's on an a cd from the Bob and Tom show, called Good Ol' Boys. I know this much.
If I find it, I'll let you know.
Wow, that is a blast from the "digest past". There is the original version and the "doctored" version floating around somewhere.
...Still "flying casual"
It's actually on two Bob and Tom CD's. The one kester mentions above is no longer available but it's also on Indiana Rocks which can still be bought from the Bob and Tom website. However, before you pay $27 plus shipping for it, go check out Half Price Books. They are always loaded down with Bob and Tom CD's.
Good call, Trav. I'll check that out. Thanks!
