Thursday, April 12, 2012 | 9:15 a.m.
Nightlife news coming out of Red Rock Resort* this week: Beginning on May 25, Cherry Nightclub will reopen on Fridays and Saturdays at 10pm. The club, formerly a Summerlin locals hangout, closed in early 2010, and its poolside space was rebranded as Red Rock Cabana Club for summertime pool parties, which continue cover-free.
For the 2012 pool season, Cherry's Summer Affair will be an indoor/outdoor party with DJs spinning house, rock and pop mashups. Bottles will run you $200.
"We want Red Rock Resort to be the obvious choice for weekend and late-night entertainment this summer," says Red Rock General Manager Mark Dunkeson.
Let's wait until mid-June and see whether Dunkeson pulls it off. In the meantime, Cherry fans can also pick up work at the club. Red Rock is accepting applications for all positions and will be holding a job fair April 17-18 for hopefuls who apply online in advance at stationcasinos.com. Click here for more details.
*Technically, the resort is still called "Red Rock Resort," though, the way things are going in Vegas, a rebranding to "R3" seems inevitable. Isn't that right, D?

Congress moving quickly to lift liability caps -- Held hostage by the weather -- When even fishermen give up hope -- Bingaman's big chance?
HAPPENING TODAY – Carol Browner and Thad Allen join Robert Gibbs for a spill presser at 1:30 p.m.. The president gets his BP briefing at 3:30 p.m.
Coast Guard Rear Adm. Paul Zukunft with the rundown on Alex and the spill: "We've been held hostage by the oil, but now the weather is holding us hostage."
Story Continued Below
By Coral Davenport
Good Thursday morning and welcome to Morning Energy. Send tips, comments, compliments and complaints to email@example.com
It's day 73 of the Gulf Coast oil spill.
GET OUT THE CHECKBOOK – The spill liability language is tough, it's on the move, and it's gaining momentum, despite pushback from oil companies and some Republicans. House Transportation and Infrastructure today marks up its bill to eliminate the $75 million cap on oil damages, putting companies on the hook for unlimited liabilities. The companion bill passed through the Senate EPW panel Wednesday, while the Senate Energy panel approved the Bingaman-Murkowski bill to overhaul offshore oil drilling rules and regs. Expect all of these to move to their respective floors post-haste, some bundled with other spill response and energy provisions, some coasting through solo. http://politi.co/bBreTQ
ON THE HOUSE FLOOR – Expect a vote today on the Judiciary Committee-approved SPILL Act, aimed at ensuring just compensation for the families of those killed or injured in the BP spill and similar tragedies.
MORE FROM ZUKUNFT – "Because of elevated sea states, response crews have not been able to conduct skimming or controlled burn operations; increased wave heights have caused booms to break apart in some areas. Sea states have also delayed the connection of the third vessel, the Helix Producer, to the floating riser pipe—which will bring collection capacity up to 53,000 barrels a day. Storm surges could cause oil to be pushed further into inland areas. The Coast Guard is monitoring the flow of oil and is prepared to deploy additional resources if inland areas are impacted. Weather has not had any impact on the drilling of relief wells."
DID BP PLAN FOR THE WEATHER? Ed Markey sends a letter to BP noting that "Hurricanes and tropical storms have enormous potential to disrupt and delay BP's attempts to cap the well and to prevent the clean up of the immense quantity of oil that is now fouling the gulf. Yet BP's spill response plan for the Gulf of Mexico makes no mention of hurricanes." http://bit.ly/bpMVJS
** A message from America's Natural Gas Alliance: After serving our nation, veterans are coming home to natural gas jobs that advance U.S. energy independence. Meet Josh, an Iraq war veteran from Pennsylvania. http://bit.ly/dmLeSo **
OBAMA TASKS MABUS WITH GULF COAST RESTORATION PLAN – Read the White House memo http://bit.ly/cOAZGm
EPA STUDY OF DISPERSANT TOXICITY – The first round of studies shows that the dispersants being used in the Gulf won't disrupt animals' endocrinology, but more study is needed. http://bit.ly/93TCFp
BINGAMAN TAKES THE REINS ON CLIMATE – As Kerry-Lieberman sputters out and Reid tries to put together an energy and/or climate bill with whatever's left, low-key Jeff Bingaman is coming out from the sidelines and could emerge as the chief architect of the whole package. "It's not surprising that, at the end of the day, they turn to Jeff Bingaman," Scott Segal, an energy lobbyist at Bracewell & Giuliani, tells POLITICO. "The Senate does not lack for personalities who can talk about energy, but, these days, to find a senator who's actually capable of passing bipartisan legislation is very rare. Bingaman is a yeoman soldier who labors long and hard, understands the minutiae and does so without a lot of public recognition. That might be what they need right now." http://politi.co/djEbvw
LIGHTENING THE LOAD – One side effect of moving from Kerry-Lieberman to pieces of Bingaman's bills: a sorely-needed break for Kerry and Lieberman's tiny energy staffs. Kerry and Lieberman climate wonks Kathleen Frangione and Danielle Rosengarden have been working nights and weekends for much of the past year. As Chairman of the Energy Committee, Bingaman can spread the work among 18 staffers who work only on energy policy, with work on any bipartisan titles further shared among the 13 energy staffers on the panel's Republican side. Still, it's expected to be an all-hands-on-deck effort to have something ready for the floor after recess.
SHOW ME THE MONEY with POLITICO'S Jake "The Machine" Sherman – Murphy Oil Corporation PAC's June donations: $1,000 to Rep. Dan Boren (D-Okla.), $1,000 to Rep. Chet Edwards (D-Texas), $1,000 to Rep. Ciro Rodriguez (D-Texas), $3,100 to Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.), $1,000 to Rep. Doc Hastings (D-Wash.), $4,000 to Rep. Mike Ross (D-Ark.).
ISSA WATCH – The tireless ranking Republican of the House Oversight and Government Reform panel releases a report today entitled "How the White House Public Relations Campaign on the Oil Spill is Harming the Actual Clean-up."
SPOTTED – Sierra Club President Michael Brune and Environmental Defense Fund President Fred Krupp, deep in conversation in a first floor coffee shop of the Dirksen Senate Office Building. The two are in Washington for meetings with senators and other environmental group CEOs as they search for a path forward on an energy and climate bill.
Krupp and Steve Cochran, director of EDF's National Climate Campaign, are scheduled to brief reporters on Thursday "to discuss the bill's expected political trajectory and implications."
AP – BP meets deadline for oil spill payments to govt: "The Obama administration says BP paid two bills totaling about $71 million earlier this month. The government had set a Thursday deadline for the largest of the two bills, which charged the company $69 million. The administration says the oil company is still reviewing and processing a third bill for $51.4 million."
New Orleans Times-Picayune – Jefferson Parish officials scold corps for delay in oil barrier plan: "The corps has issued temporary environmental permits for work at two passes, but the other three remain in limbo. Interim Jefferson Parish President Steve Theriot said Col. Al Lee, the corps' New Orleans district commander, was still weighing input from other federal agencies. BP . . . has put aside money for projects that parish officials first sought in May, but the company needs federal approval to move forward. 'The issue with the corps is almost becoming a joke,' Jefferson Parish Councilman Chris Roberts said. http://bit.ly/aREY7s
New Orleans Times-Picayune – Gulf oil spill chills demand for recreational fishing licenses: " 'They're just not fishing out there right now. They've given up hope,' said Anthony Puglia Jr., a member of the family that has run the Veterans Memorial Boulevard tackle store for 30 years. The numbers aren't pretty. Since BP's rig catastrophe April 20 unleashed a flow of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, the number of Louisiana residents getting saltwater fishing licenses -- which permit recreational fishing offshore and inland near the coast -- has dropped by 48 percent compared with the same period a year ago, according to the state Department of Wildlife and Fisheries." http://bit.ly/aRGs9k

El Prez ft. Aleon Craft - In the Kitchen
Aside from a handful of guest features, West Coast representative El Prez has been relatively scarce of late; his last solo cut, Dedication, hit our front page way back in October of 2011. Where's he been in the meantime? As he reveals on his latest feature, he's been hard at work, "... cooking up that crack In the Kitchen." And it just so happens that Booth readers get the first taste of what he's serving up. Making its world premiere right here on our front page, the inaugural leak off Prez' next mixtape finds the freestyle series alumnus waxing braggadocious over a uniquely addictive instrumental by Pitchshifters, the beat crew recently heard producing Jadakiss' Turn Up. Backed by their minimal kick-snare rhythm and an impressive variety of cash register-related sound effects (if you listen close, you can even hear the receipt printing), Prez flaunts his sky-high stacks and female appeal. Fellow freestyle alum Aleon Craft guests, notably making a bid for Rap Lines That Make No Sense inclusion with the boast, "I don't exist like Pluto." Feeling it? More freshness awaits on LEADERSH!T, the artist's debut project with Small Chronic Break/Honour Role Music (Shawn Chrystopher's label).

Johannesburg - Wits University will not drop disciplinary action against 28 students who allegedly disrupted lectures at the institution last year, despite appeals from the SRC to do so.
"The university stands firm that the judicial process should be allowed to take its course and has thus advised the affected students that under no circumstances will charges be dropped against them," spokesperson Shirona Patel said in a statement on Monday.
Students had a democratic right to protest peacefully on campus, provided their actions didn't affect the university's activities, or the rights of those who wanted to learn and teach.
Should any further disruptions occur, the university would not hesitate to take steps to ensure academic work continued as usual.
"Despite several engagements with the students in the past week, it is disappointing that the group refuses to accept the current disciplinary procedures," she said.
Last Wednesday the group of students blockaded the Senate House basement parking garage for about five hours.
The students' representative council vowed to intensify its protest in a bid to have disciplinary action against its members dropped.
Spokesperson Wandile Sishenge said this would include disrupting management or administrative work at the institution.
The student body had, however, taken a decision not to disturb other students during its protest.
Sishenge claimed the SRC had gained support from a number of youth organisations, including the ANC Youth League.
The parties were expected to meet on Tuesday to discuss what Wits management had decided and state its position.
ANCYL spokesperson Floyd Shivambu could not confirm if the organisation would meet the Wits SRC or not.

wikiHow to Install a Sliding Bolt
Sliding bolts are locks on the inside of doors that can't be opened by keys on the outside.
1Gather all the Things You'll Need.
2Choose a height for your sliding bolt. Measure and mark it in two places to ensure that the bolt is level.
3Align the main body of the bolt with your pencil marks and mark the position of the screw holes.
4Drill a shallow hole on each of your screw hole pencil marks. These pilot holes will make it easier to drill in the screws.
5Change the drill bit to a screw head bit. Hold the main body of the bolt over your pilot holes and drill into position.
6Hold the staple against the door frame, level with the bolt. Draw around it with your pencil. Now you need to chisel out a shallow recess for the bolt holder.
7Make a series of deep cuts along your pencil outline.
8Remove the wood.
9Check the fit of the bolt holder in the recess. Mark the position of the screw holes.
10Attach a narrow bit to the drill and drill some pilot holes, then fit a screw head bit and drill the staple into the recess.

Service of our country and community means an awful lot to me!
I haven't talked a whole lot over here about my new real estate business, but I'm super happy to share with you about the Heroes Home Advantage program that I've aligned myself with here in Northern Virginia.
I recently started counting up the HEROES in my family and the numbers were a surprise to me! Because I want to honor them and their service, it is truly awesome to be able to give back by participating in the Heroes Home Advantage program. My husband is a veteran of the Marine Corps, as is his father. My grandfather served in the Air Force during the Korean War and my step-mother is active duty with the Air Force. My mother-in-law and grandmother served their communities by teaching, my father's uncle is a retired firefighter. Law Enforcement also runs deep with my family with many working as police officers, prison personnel and more.
The only category covered as a hero that doesn't have family representation is the health care field … maybe I can convince one of my children to go that route?
As a way of saying "Thank You" to the HEROES of America for their services to our country and communities, I give back 25% of MY commission when I work with a HERO to buy or sell a home via the Heroes Home Advantage program.
In addition, I've been working hard over the last couple of months here in Northern Virginia to identify Agents (from all over the country), Lenders, Home Inspectors, Title Companies and more to all join with me in giving credit and other discounts when a hero buys or sells a home using my services. I have partnered with the Heroes Home Advantage program SIMPLY so that I can give back to those who have served. Not only does this benefit cover active duty / active employment but also provides amazing services for veteran military, retired teachers, retired police force, and on and on!
The great thing is, it doesn't cost the hero a thing!
When you or someone you know (who qualifies as a hero, see below) is ready to buy or sell your home, call me at 571-482-7356 or leave a comment and I'll first say "Thank you for your service." Then, if you're not in Virginia, I'll connect you with an amazing team of professionals to help. If you ARE located in my service area, I'll jump in with both feet and all hands on deck to help you and your family navigate through your real estate journey.
Military: Active Duty, Veteran, Retired, Reservist, National Guard
Teachers: Current and retired
Law Enforcement: Police Officer, Prison Guard, State Trooper, County Sheriff, Border Patrol, Retired
Firefighters: Active, Retired, Volunteer
Health Care: Doctor, Nurse, Technician, EMT, Home Health Aide, Ambulance, Dispatch, Therapy, Dental

THE Wallabies face a potentially disastrous slide down the world rankings due to injury unless all Australian rugby stakeholders buy into a new national player welfare program, according to ARU high performance boss David Nucifora.
Nucifora's warning comes as Australian rugby experiences an unprecedented injury crisis, with more than a full, 22-man team of Wallabies stars currently sitting on the sidelines, and even more busted players at Super Rugby level.
Quade Cooper this week joined a star-studded group of Wallaby squad members known as "Team Rehab", which contains three Wallaby captains in James Horwill, David Pocock and Will Genia, and if fit and healthy, would arguably be stronger than the current Test side.
While many of the injured Wallabies suffered unavoidable collision injuries, others fell to wear-and-tear injuries likely influenced by the intense demands of the extended Super Rugby season and a longer Test season.
Many Super Rugby squads also experienced heavy injury tolls this season.
The volume of injuries - not only this year but also in 2011 as well - has rung alarm bells at the ARU, who have ramped up the introduction of a high-tech, 12-month player welfare management system at national and state levels.
Nucifora said new software monitors and processes daily information on a player's welfare - including things like training load and intensity through GPS units, player well-being and ongoing physical state.
A sports medicine expert has been employed by the ARU to monitor the data - and help the states use and interpret the system as well - and identify when players are at risk of injury, he said.
"This is about keeping our best players available for the longest period of time possible, performing at their peak," Nucifora said.
"With this extended season, out of the SANZAR countries or at least South Africa and New Zealand, everyone is talking about our lack of depth compared to those competitors. If we don't manage our assets better than anyone else, we are at greater risk. This is what has driven this and it is an ongoing project that's only going to grow.
"If we don't do something about this, and we become reactive rather than proactive like we are doing now, we do suffer the risk of not being able to compete and slide down the ladder of world rankings.
"Which then has a commericial effect as well. We have to make sure we do this better than anyone else, and that's what our aim is, to be world's best in this area."
Nucifora said the centralised system was in response to gaps arising in player welfare management due to "multiple handovers" of players from state to Wallabies level, with the June Test window now falling in the Super Rugby season.
Medical staff and physios from every Australian team recently met to discuss the need to streamline welfare information.
Nucifora said the ARU would "discuss" the welfare of 50-60 players of national interest with the states, but the existing hurdle appears to remain: who has final say?
States have their own imperatives to win and a coach, who is not answerable to the ARU, can easily disagree with the red flags and play an at-risk player.
Nucifora said the long-term best interests of the players should win out.
"The system is there for everyone to use, and for everyone to interpret the data in the same way," he said. "That's what it is to be used for. If people want to ignore the data and the current system and what it's telling you, you're putting the player at risk.
"If we want this to work as seamlessly as it should, we have got to pay creedance to this and not just worry about what our own need might be at this point in time."
Wallabies coach Robbie Deans hopes players would soon begin to drive the decision process about when they're not right to play. He says recent examples of Wallabies players selflessly giving up Test caps due by ruling themselves out was a good sign.
"That is the attitude we want to see from players. Of course they want to play, but they also know their bodies better than anyone else, and are in the best position to take control of their circumstance," Deans said.
"That's why the growth of depth within a squad is so important, so that there is always someone in the background ready to step up.
"We've seen that as recently as last weekend when, having been exposed to the squad in training through both the June Tests and then The Rugby Championship, Kane Douglas made his debut and provided such impact that he won the player's player award.
"Michael Hooper, standing in for David Pocock, is another example that we have seen this year of a player, having been given exposure either at training or in game off the bench through the June Tests, then stepping up to a greater role when the need arose.''

Safety Justin Glenn could have new role for Washington Huskies
Two years after breaking his right leg against Notre Dame, Glenn could become valuable in UW's nickelback package.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Latest from the Husky Football & Basketball blogs
Even when the flesh was willing last season, Washington Huskies safety Justin Glenn readily acknowledges the mind was sometimes still just a little bit weak.
A graduate of Kamiak High, Glenn suffered a broken right fibula and torn ligaments in his ankle at Notre Dame on Oct. 3, 2009, knocking him out of what had been a promising freshman season for the Huskies.
He was hurt in rather freak fashion on a play when he was attempting to tackle current Seahawks receiver Golden Tate and was rolled up on by teammate Mason Foster.
The game was his fourth as the team's starter at free safety and he had been lauded for his play in an upset over USC a few weeks earlier and had scored a touchdown at Stanford in the previous game.
When he returned last season, he thought initially maybe he could pick right back up where he left off.
Instead, he says, he learned the hard way it wouldn't be quite that simple.
"I found out it was more mental," he said. "I still had the physical issue where I was fighting through pain. But at the same time, I wasn't right up top. I was kind of favoring it and thinking 'I can't do this like I used to be able to.' "
He made it onto the field for eight games, but was used almost solely on special teams, unable to earn back the spot he had lost.
But now, with the Huskies halfway through spring practice preparation for the 2011 season, Glenn feels whole again. The leg is fully recovered, and his mind is no longer playing games, instead allowing him to freely play the game.
"I'm feeling good," he said. "Feeling really good. I'm not thinking about the leg anymore — that's in the rearview mirror. It's just feeling good playing football again, so that's really nice."
However, there is a more crowded secondary than when he first emerged as a starter, despite the departure of three-year starter Nate Williams.
Nate Fellner eventually took over as the starter at free safety in 2009 after Glenn was injured, and held it last season, seemingly locked in again for 2011.
And talented newcomers such as Sean Parker and Taz Stevenson — Parker the likely heir apparent to Williams' spot — are on board.
Glenn, though, says he's accepts the competition, and is happy to take up what may be a new role as the team's nickelback — a fifth defensive back in passing situations.
"I kind of want to step in and make that my identity this year," he said.
Coaches see it as a perfect blend of Glenn's talents as he was initially recruited to UW as a cornerback before being moved to safety.
"He has some ability to do some different things because he knows corner and he knows safety and he understands what we are doing on defense," said UW safeties coach Jeff Mills.
Mills agrees with Glenn's assessment that Glenn appears finally back to his 2009 form.
"A year ago coming off that injury he was obviously thinking, working through the process," Mills said. "Obviously I don't think that's the case now. That's behind him now, so it's been fun to watch him out there just working, competing.
"To his credit, he has had a really good attitude. He went through a lot — you go through surgeries and injuries, there's a lot to get through, not just in the rehab but the mental part of playing the game of football again. And I really feel this spring he is not thinking anymore, he's just reacting and playing."
Season ticket update
School officials reported that UW has sold 38,790 season tickets compared to 38,902 at this point last year. Both numbers are higher than the 2009 total to this date of 37,300.
The average ticket price has increased 2.5 percent, though UW officials say they don't think that has had an impact on sales, saying the increase is consistent with the standard rate.
The team has six home games this year as well as the Apple Cup at Qwest Field. The Apple Cup, however, is not being managed by UW and is not part of the school's season-ticket package.
The Huskies will host their annual coaches clinic this weekend. One of the keynote speakers is head coach Kevin Sumlin of Houston, who attended UW's practice Thursday.
• The Huskies worked in the Dempsey Indoor and were in helmets and shoulder pads and shorts

Asian stock markets tumbled Friday as investors dumped riskier assets amid fears the U.S. is heading back into recession and Europe's debt crisis is worsening.
The sell-off in Asia followed the biggest one-day points decline on Wall Street since the 2008 financial crisis.
Japan's Nikkei 225 stock average slid 3.4 percent to 9,335.26 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng shed 4.1 percent to 20,989.28.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 was off 4 percent at 4,107.20, Taiwan's Taiex sank 4.2 percent to 7,967.38 and Seoul's Kospi dropped 2.8 percent to 1,961.79.
Growing fear about the weakening U.S. economy was joined by concern in Europe that the troubled economies of Italy and Spain might need help from the European Union.
But some analysts said the sell-off was not a repeat of 2008 when a banking and credit crisis sent markets into a prolonged tailspin.
Traders also unloaded stocks before Friday's release of the U.S. government's unemployment report for July, which is expected to show weak job growth and perhaps a rise in the unemployment rate, which is 9.2 percent.
For the day, the Dow closed down 512.76 points, at 11,383.68. It was the steepest point decline since Dec. 1, 2008.
Thursday's decline was the ninth-worst by points for the Dow. In percentage terms, the decline of 4.3 percent does not rank among the worst. On Black Monday in 1987, for example, the Dow fell 22 percent.
Benchmark oil for September delivery was down $1.16 at $85.47 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell $5.30, or 5.8 percent, to settle at $86.63 on Thursday.

You've heard all the reports. Our kids are overweight. Type 2 Diabetes is on the rise. America's children are facing a crisis. In response, experts repeatedly assert the importance of good nutrition. It's as if everyone thinks parents only need to know more about which foods to provide — 1/2 cup of cottage cheese, or a serving of broccoli — and presto, our kids will all be healthy eaters. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, never before has a nation known so much about nutrition and yet eaten so poorly.
There is a solution. We don't need to learn more about nutrition; we need to learn how to implement what we already know.
Nutrition isn't the answer because eating right isn't really about food, it's about behavior — what, when, why and how much someone chooses to eat. Since nutrition only partially shapes those choices, especially for children, the key to success can never be found by focusing only on food. Rather, we must shape how our children behave in relation to food. This we accomplish by deliberately and consciously fostering their habits.
Paradoxically, nutrition is not the most effective tool for teaching good eating habits. In fact, even though nutrition is the science of nourishing our bodies, the nutrition message — that parents need to get the right nutrients into their kids and the consequences for failing are enormous — often leads parents astray. For instance, it encourages parents to give their children items such as chocolate milk because they are considered healthy — even schools do it — but this practice teaches kids an appreciation for chocolate, not for milk. Indeed, each chocolate milk makes regular milk a harder sell. The same is true for sweetened, whole grain cereals, flavored yogurts (which typically derive as much as 50% of their calories from added sugars) and juice — all "healthy" foods that teach our kids to like, even crave, sugar. When we consider how regularly consuming sweet tasting foods impacts habits, is it any wonder that diabetes and other food-related health problems are on the rise?
Unfortunately, pressure to get quality nutrients into our children does more than encourage parents to compromise on the foods we give our kids. It also leads many parents to believe that, when it comes to food, getting the right nutrients into their children is the full extent of their job. It is this narrow definition of their role that hampers parents the most because it turns their attention away from the central parental responsibility regarding food: teaching their children how to eat right. But children need to be taught how to eat, just as they need to be taught other things, like good hygiene and manners. There are concrete skills they need to develop. That's why we have to stop just feeding our kids; we have to teach them to eat right as well.

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Tom Gilbert figured Thursday would be the night.
Especially when he scored the go-ahead goal in the second period, lifting a shot over the shoulder of Minnesota Wild goaltender Niklas Backstrom.
Yet despite the goal, and the momentum that came with it, the Minnesota native was still unable to be on the winning side of an NHL contest in his home state, as the Oilers went on to lose 4-2 to the Wild.
Their power play killed us, said Gilbert. They just got pucks to the net and got bodies there, and thats hard to defend.
You cant expect your goalie to make all the saves all the time. Thats something that we definitely have to work on.
The loss was the Oilers 14th consecutive one in Minnesota, dating back to the 2006-2007 season. Gilbert has been a part of 13 of them.
Things were going good, but you have to play a full 60 minutes, Gilbert said. It just goes to show, once they got one power-play goal and then another, thats hard to come back against, especially in this building.
On Thursday, thing went sour in a hurry as a one-goal advantage turned into a one-goal deficit within 52 seconds as the Wild scored a pair of consecutive power-play goals in the second period.
Then in the third, while battling Antti Miettinen in front, Gilbert had a puck bounce off his skate into his own net to give the Wild a two-goal lead.
With the way Backstrom has shut the door on the Oilers in Minnesota, extending his winning streak to 12 games, it was essentially a formality from there.
I was just trying to take away his stick and trying to get out the way, its just one of those things that happen, Gilbert said. Weve had a lot of bad bounces here, thats the way it usually goes for the home team.
Youre supposed to have those bounces, youre supposed to play your best when youre at home. They play very well here and one of these days, well get the bounces.

I'm a long-time fan of territory games. Civilization sucked me in on the Amiga and its sequel appealed on the Mac. For quicker games in a similar vein, various Risk clones for the Mac (such as iConquer) once took up numerous tiny chunks of my day. But when I discovered Galcon for iPhone, the others vanished. Here was a crazy real-time Risk/stripped-down Civ, with brutally fast gameplay and land-grabbing. In single-player mode, it was compelling, and against online opposition, a joy.
Creator Phil Hassey announced this week Galcon Fusion for desktop platforms. A semi-sequel to Classic Galcon and incorporating modes and ideas from Galcon Labs for iPhone, Galcon Fusion is available for $9.99 from galcon.com.
I caught up with Phil to find out more about his game, cross-platform development, and why iPhone Galcon fans should take a risk on the desktop game.
Cult of Mac: For anyone unfamiliar with Galcon games, how would you describe Galcon Fusion?
Phil Hassey: Galcon Fusion is an awesome high-paced multi-player galactic arcade-strategy game. Send swarms of ships to defeat enemy planets and conquer the universe! It plays out the game of Risk in real-time.
What does Galcon Fusion offer over 'Classic Galcon'?
Galcon Fusion adds all the alternate gameplay modes that were developed for the iPhone versions of Galcon. It also brings the graphics and music up to 2010 specs, supporting HD widescreen visuals. And, actually, since it is similar, users who bought 'Classic Galcon' for the desktop have been given a free upgrade to Galcon Fusion.
Galcon Fusion's for Mac, PC and Linux. How important was it for you to create a game that could be played across all platforms?
Pretty important to me! I do all my development under Linux under VMware Fusion on a MacBook Pro. I really appreciate the open source community, and I think having my games run under Linux is at least one more way I can give to that community. I've also found that the Mac community is great too, and since Galcon did so well as an iPhone game, I think it would be silly to release a desktop version without supporting the many Mac users who might want it.
What will tempt fans of iPhone Galcon to the Mac version?
It's really a different gaming experience altogether. I think the desktop version gives users a way to interact more with people via chat and longer games. The core game mechanics are the same, but the feel of it is unique to the desktop. An iPhone battle can be a matter of seconds, but a desktop battle is more epic in that games last for minutes!
What was the thinking behind the retro mode?
When I was about ten years old I played an MS-DOS PC game called "Galactic Conquest" which sported graphics almost like the ones in retro mode. I thought it would be fun to include that as an option in the new version of Galcon, mostly for my own entertainment. Really, it hasn't been the most popular mode in the game, but I think it's cool to give people a flavor of the history of Galcon. One notable difference though: the original "Galactic Conquest" was a turn-based game; the retro mode I include is really just an alternative way to look at "Galcon Fusion" so it retains all the swarms of ships and real-time gameplay.
What's the future for Galcon?
I don't know for sure, but I've got a feeling it might show up on the iPad in the near future!

Last night's UX Brighton looked at the challenges for engineers, researchers, and UX specialists in designing interfaces for the automobile industry. Two expert speakers shared their experiences designing interfaces between human and machine. The event, organised by Tom Prior, gave a fascinating insight into the latest trends in car design and UX.
First up was Phil Higgs, the Design Manager at Jaguar Land Rover. Phil joined Jaguar Land Rover as a User Interface & Experience Designer in 2008, and has been overseeing in-car cross brand UI & UX design activity since 2011. His current work focuses on advancing in-car cluster, touchscreen and user experience designs. This covers a range of aspects of car usage from touchscreen displays on the dashboard to the ambience of the lighting.
The simple design touches that we experience in cars every day are a lot more complicated than we often assume. The response speed of these designs is crucial, one example Phil gave was a car that has a camera on the back to give you a better view when reversing. This can be a useful feature but if it takes time to respond it may be the case that the screen doesn't start showing the view from that camera until the driver has already reversed out of his drive and driven off down the road. Another example was a getaway driver after a bank robbery, though I imagine this would be a bit of an edge case. It seems that hardware limitations can be a major factor in this type of design.
He touched on user testing and how they run 'customer drives' across the world to get feedback from people using the new designs on a daily basis. The major car companies also use motor shows as a way to get reaction to their ideas. They will show of concept cars and designs and the feedback they receive on these may help determine whether the designs actually make it into cars out on the road. It seemed from what Nick was saying that there were quite a lot of designs that didn't get as far as making it to final production and that a lot of time and effort was spent on designs that got no further than the motor shows.
It seemed like a lot of the designs were led by imagination and trends more than UX, with car companies trying to come up with innovating and exciting designs rather than focusing on improving the current driving experience. A lot of the designs took inspiration from jet fighters or high-end watches and seemed to be designed to appeal on an aesthetic level rather than for better user experience.
There has been an increase in phone apps that control features in the car. These allow users to do things like set the temperature or set a destination for the in-car satnav remotely.
Phil concluded by talking about, and demonstrating, some of the more futuristic designs that we might start seeing in cars soon. One feature that looked particularly interesting was the 3D augmented reality display. This used augmented reality to display a satnav in front of the bonnet of the car and could also be used to show other information to minimise the need for drivers to keep looking down at the dashboard. We can also look forward to more voice and gesture control in cars in the near future.
After a short break Dr Nick Reed the Principal Human Factors Researcher at TRL spoke about his research related to the introduction of automated vehicles. Nick's background is in cognitive psychology and perception and he has published many papers and reports in the area of driver behaviour and training.
TLR are world renowned experts in car research, consultancy and testing and have been for many years. Nicks talk started off showing a brief history of car testing, from early 'simulators' to today's tests where users are surrounded by large screens and eye tracking cameras. These kinds of tests are used to analyse the effects that drugs and alcohol have on drivers.
Nick went on to question whether there really is 'freedom' in car driving. Driving is often not a pleasurable experience, increased traffic volume causes problems, the costs associated with driving are high and, most shockingly, driving is the number one cause of death for young people. It's estimated that up to 95% of accidents have human error as a factor and if cars were more automated then this could go a long way to making driving safer.
There are currently five levels of vehicle automation, shown on the table below, and it's the line between the Partially Automated cars that are currently on the road and the Highly Automated cars that is set to be a key transition over the coming years.
A recent project in called SARTRE looked at creating a sort of 'road train' where there is one lead vehicle with a driver and all the cars behind follow it automatically with no need for any input from their drivers. Cars could join and leave the 'train' at any time.
While the technology is already available for fully automated cars there are bigger issues that still need to be considered. One of these is the legislation around how they would be used. When does is the driver liable and when is the car liable? There is also the impact that these vehicles would have on human behaviour to consider. Would people be happy to join a car train and let another driver take control?
Some questions from the audience followed, including one about how car UX compared to website UX. Nick summed it up nicely answering with: "People don't tend to die if you get websites wrong". This summed the issues faced be people like Nick and Phil. Designers designers consider response times for website and apps to be pretty important but the response times in car UIs could literally be a matter of life and death.

Restaurante Bar Montejo Restaurant Review: A cantina inhabits the ground floor and a white tablecloth restaurant is on the second and third stories of this three-level establishment. In the restaurant, you can get grilled quail and pompano with drawn butter, as well as breaded, sautéed brains. But much of the menu, and by far the best offerings, are made up of traditional dishes from the Yucatán. The version of sopa de lima---a chicken soup with fried tortilla strips and flavored with lime---is first-rate. You can also get panuchos---tortillas stuffed with refried beans, and topped with cochinita pibil (shredded pork seasoned with spices in a sour orange sauce) or pavo en escabèche (turkey braised with onions). Still another specialty is papadzules, hard-boiled egg rolled in tortillas and topped with two sauces. If all this sounds heavy, it is---Yucatecan food is perhaps the crown jewel of Mexican cuisine but there are no light dishes. At the traditional Mexican lunch hour, say, between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m., in the cantina they serve botanas (food served free of charge, so long as you keep ordering alcoholic drinks).

The state has approved an Athens hospital's application to build an outpatient surgery center.
St. Mary's Hospital applied to the state Department of Community of Health in February for a certificate of need (CON) to build a $7.4 million multi-specialty ambulatory surgery center, a request the state has granted.
The 13,460-square-foot facility, to be named Surgery Center of Athens, will be built on the hospital's campus, which borders Alps Road and West Broad Street.
Outpatient, or ambulatory, surgery centers specialize in providing pain management, diagnostic services and medical procedures that usually don't require a hospital stay, but are more intrusive than procedures performed at doctors' offices.
Eleven surgeons are expected to perform about 3,157 surgeries and 1,149 gastro-intestinal procedures in five operating rooms at the center in its first year, 2010, according to the application.
St. Mary's officials, who have 11 months to begin the proposed project, are researching which surgeries patients most need before deciding exactly which procedures to perform at the center, said hospital spokesman Mark Ralston.
Ambulatory Care Centers of America, a Nashville-based consulting and management company, will own 10 percent of the surgery facility and oversee its day-to-day business, according to the CON application.

View document
Competing health care facilities have until May 27 to appeal the Department of Community Health's decision.
The facility would be one of about 275 licensed ambulatory surgery centers in Georgia, said Peter Lahrangel, Georgia Society of Ambulatory Surgery Centers interim director. Athens already has seven licensed surgery centers that specialize in urology, orthopedic, retina and cosmetic treatments, Lahrangel said, but the city does not have a multi-specialty facility.
Ambulatory surgery centers have become more popular during the past 10 years, he said, since nurses and doctors there perform the same procedures each day and can provide quicker treatment compared to backlogged hospitals.
Now, almost 75 percent of all surgeries are performed in outpatient facilities or physicians' offices, he said.
"Physicians are performing the same surgeries each day and using the same nursing staffs. Those nursing staffs know how to use your instruments, who you are and what you like as a physician," Lahrangel said. "You get good health care because everyone knows their job."

Whilst this has always been primarily a knitting blog, I have from time to time talked about other loves in my life, travelling, growing, making and music. Over the next few months there will be more music, specifically folk music here. I have been appointed by Cecil Sharp House, headquarters of the English Folk Dance and Song Society to be one of their Social Sharers, a new initiative where people who are used to using social networking such as blogging and Twitter are invited to attend shows and in return talk about them online to encourage a wider audience to be interested in folk music. I am charmed, delighted and amused that they chose a knitblogger!
I have been mulling over the particular contribution that I can make. I am no musician, in fact I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket but have a lifetime's interest in all kinds of popular music, particularly singer songwriter, indie and folk. My journey towards folk music detoured the folk revival of the 1960's and 70's, coming in through new wave artists such as Billy Bragg, John Cooper Clark and Joe Strummer, whose work told the story of the times we were living through. Discovering where they sit within the 'folk' tradition has been a real joy over the last few years as I have explored the music in more depth. This parallels rather neatly with my love of making things by hand. As a spinner, knitter, teacher and designer who learnt her skills from the hands of her mother and grandmother I recognise that I am creating pieces that are contemporary and relevant but sit firmly in a folkcraft tradition.
So without further rambling and meandering, last Friday I attended my first show as part of this project - Show of Hands with Miranda Sykes and special guests Leonard Podolak and Matt Gordon. I have been looking forward to this for some time as I have seen Show of Hands several times over the last few years and know their work well. This show is part of the tour to launch their new album, Wake the Union so my American friend and I were keen to hear how the new material celebrating the folk traditions of both our countries would be incorporated into their live set.
Unsurprisingly, the show was sold out so the show opened to a large audience of mixed ages.
The evening started firmly in the North American tradition with a very well received set by Leonard Podolak and Matt Gordon. Playing claw hammer banjo and fiddle and mouth organ respectively they got the evening off to a lively start with a selection on Old Time Appalachian String Band music and flat footing.
I had a chance to have a quick word with Matt at the interval. He told me that since he has been here he has gained a real appreciation of the English Ballad as well as a great deal of respect for the musicianship of Show of Hands. He hasn't tried Yorkshire pudding yet.
After the interval Show of Hands launched into their performance. Songs from the new album were blended with old favourites.I don't propose to give a set list as this is the beginning of a tour and I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise for others. Having seen the band live several times over the last year or so many of the new songs such as 'Stop Copying Me' have already become a familiar fixture of the set,reinforced by the characteristically active encouragement to join in.
The standard of songwriting remains consistently high and overall I would thoroughly recommend it. Podolak and Gordon are excellent guests as their enthusiasm and musicianship gives an infectious joy to the performance. Mind you, to accommodate any additions some stuff has to go. One of the things that I have always enjoyed about the band is the importance they place on the link to the history of ordinary people that folk music provides and have included some beautiful traditional music in their shows. There are less traditional songs and more examples of the songwriting skills of Steve Knightly. Whilst he continues to write more and more beautiful and relevant songs,this has led to a little less showcasing of the individual talents of Phil Beer and Miranda Sykes. With the exception of the haunting and somehow newly relevant Innocent's Song and a brief and poignant verse from The Bonny Light Horseman, Beer and Sykes confined themselves to backing vocals. Having seen Phil Beer as a solo performer I felt the loss.
All in all, however, we had a wonderful night and emerged feeling energised and uplifted and remain firm Show of Hands admirers.

My boyfriend and I went to Vegas (well, outside of Vegas really--we had a free stay at the golf-oriented Hyatt Lake Las Vegas Resort) for a few days between Xmas and New Years. Because we are very cash poor (hence the casinos got boring pretty damn fast), we decided to go off the beaten track, using Jonathan Gold recommendations and chowhound info. It took us about 8 hours to drive there from LA, and we hadn't eaten for almost 20 hours, so we were very stoked to try out Shanghai 168, which Jonathan included in the 1999 October Vegas "Gourmet" lo-down. There was a huge crowd in front, and being the only white folks around we took that to be a good sign.
Well, what followed was chaos like I've never seen in a restaurant. During the wait we hear occasional screaming from the kitchen--things are obviously intense, as they are also short of wait staff. We wait 45 minutes, and when seated, are not given menus, only tea cups. We as well as most of the other customers are getting antsy. Several parties walk out, indignant. We put in our order, and receive the soup within about 15 minutes; the people at the table next to us got their entrees, but no soup. (Their soup arrived with their check.)
About another hour passes, and there's an incredible screaming match (which we didn't understand a word of) between the waitresses and the chef. We hear dishes breaking, and everyone else in the restaurant is starting at the kitchen, completely silent and jaws dropped. The chef gets on the phone directly behind me and yelling loud enough so that all the patrons can hear his grievances. Although we dont know exactly what sort of verbiage is being spewed, you have to be dense not to have a good enough sense. So we chat with a sympathetic busser who gets us our food. Slowly the restaurant clears out, so by the time we left its empty. All told, our lunch of 3 dishes took two and a half hours to complete. The food was fine, not worth the hassle but worth a good story.
We had a fantastic dinner at Saigon Restaurant, 4251 West Sahara, #C, (702-362-9978). Extremely friendly service, great Vietnamese basics; it ain't no Golden Deli but we were pleased. And it was faster than our lunch
Made the pilgrimage to Lotus of Siam. Were NOT disappointed, jeez was it incredible. I just wish I was with more people to sample more. But when I return for a wedding in October I'll make multiple trips.
Overall, Border Grill was by far the least interesting meal we experienced.

AJAX Tree Control is a modified version of SilverStripe's tree control. It adds dynamic loading of child nodes via AJAX. The default implementation uses the prototype library to make dynamic requests, but this behavior can be overridden by setting functions on the global Tree object. There are a few demo Ruby on Rails applications included in the distribution that show how to use and customize the tree.
WT Toolkit is a JavaScript toolkit that makes writing rich, robust, reliable AJAX applications as easy as writing desktop applications. Instead of being yet another hack of making AJAX "barely work", WT Toolkit is designed to be highly object oriented, resistant to memory leaks, and comes with an intuitive event handling system modeled after the signal-slot system from Qt.
PennAve is a dynamic photo gallery application designed for users of F-Spot. It directly utilizes the F-Spot database to provide a fully dynamic Web interface that allows users to drill down through tags and view your photos. Scaling of images is done automatically, so all you need to do is just copy your photos and database to your Web server. Internally, the user interface is highly customizable as it uses XML and XSLT to display the HTML, allowing individuals to completely theme the application without making any changes to the program itself.
Q3utX Master Browser is an efficient Urban Terror game servers browser. It interrogates a "Master Browser" and retrieves all servers notified, then shows all info about game servers through an Ajax loader.

COPENHAGEN - President Obama said the United States, China and several other countries reached an "unprecedented breakthrough" Friday to curb greenhouse gas emissions - including a mechanism to verify compliance - after a frenzied day of diplomacy at the U.N. climate talks.
The agreement, which also includes the developing nations of India, South Africa and Brazil, requires each country to list the actions they will take to cut global warming pollution by specific amounts, a senior Obama administration official said. The official described the deal on the condition of anonymity because specific details had not been announced.
Under the agreement, the official said each country also will list the actions it will take to cut global warming pollution by specific amounts. The deal reiterates a goal that eight leading industrialized nations set earlier this year on long-term emission cuts and provides a mechanism to help poor countries prepare for climate change.
A European Union news conference to announce the EU reaction was postponed and an official said an overall agreement involving those nations not included in the deal that Obama announced was still being negotiated.
Obama suggested that Friday's agreement among the five countries would be adopted by the larger summit in its closing hours.
"I am leaving before the final vote," he said. "We feel confident we are moving in the direction of a final accord."
If the countries had waited to reach a full, binding agreement, "then we wouldn't make any progress," Obama said. In that case, he said, "there might be such frustration and cynicism that rather than taking one step forward we ended up taking two steps back."
Obama spent the final scheduled day of the climate talks meeting with world leaders, including Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, in a bid to salvage the global warming accord amid deep divisions between rich and poor nations.
In announcing the five-nation deal, Obama said getting a legally binding treaty "is going to be very hard, and it's going to take some time."
"We have come a long way, but we have much further to go," he said.
The president said there was a "fundamental deadlock in perspectives" between big, industrially developed countries like the United States and poorer, though sometimes large, developing nations. Still he said this week's efforts "will help us begin to meet our responsibilities to leave our children and grandchildren a cleaner planet."
The deal as described by Obama reflects some progress helping poor nations cope with climate change and getting China to disclose its actions to address the warming problem.

Justin Trudeau Senate trick a sleight of hand
Justin Trudeau.
"I'm not a former Liberal. I'm a Liberal. And I'm a Liberal senator. I think not a lot will change." — Senator James Cowan, "ex-Liberal" Senate leader, Jan. 29
Justin Trudeau's unilateral "ejection" of 32 Liberal senators last week is like a magician making a readily visible coin suddenly disappear before an astonished audience.
Yet, moments later, the coin is miraculously back - and right in the palm of the Liberal Leader's hand.
Liberal senators will be no different.
While many observers have been impressed with the tactic's "boldness," ex-Liberal senator Jim Munson went hyperbolic to claim Trudeau had "set us free" from their supposed $135,000 a year serfdom. The reality, however, is far less noble.
The "free" Liberals are already demonstrating their "independence" by continuing to have Cowan as their Senate Leader and Munson as opposition whip.
Trudeau claims "there are no more Liberal senators," despite most of the 32 he ejected continuing to call themselves and work together as Liberals.
He proclaimed the former Liberal senators are "independent" from the party that appointed them and challenged Prime Minister Stephen Harper to do the same. "Join us in making senators independent of political parties and end partisanship in the Senate," Trudeau said.
But in a highly ironic twist of historical fate, it was in fact Conservative senators who demonstrated in 2013 what true independence means. It was then when 16 of them voted to radically amend Bill C-377, a Conservative private members bill passed by Tory Members of Parliament but sent back "gutted," in the words of its sponsor.
C-377 was vigorously opposed by Canadian labour, including - full disclosure - unions that are among my clients, but it was then-Conservative Senator Hugh Segal who led a successful insurrection against the legislation.
The point isn't C-377's content but that 16 Conservative senators stood up in public to thwart Harper and his cabinet and show their displeasure.
It was left last week to B.C. Senator and recent ex-Liberal Larry Campbell, Vancouver's former coroner, to start the post-mortem on Trudeau's tactic.
"It's a brave move on the part of Justin. I don't know that it's a smart move," he said.
When it comes to tricks, sometimes the magic just wears off.

Police and the FBI are investigating the robbery of a Wells Fargo on Friday at a La Mesa shopping center.
The robbery was reported at 4:32 p.m. at the bank on Lake Murray Boulevard and Baltimore Drive.
A man handed a teller a demand note and fled with cash, La Mesa police Sgt. Katherine Lynch said. He headed north into the parking lot.
Officers searched but were unable to locate the robber.
He was described as white, in his 50s, about 5 feet 7 seven inches tall with a heavy build, a mustache and salt-and-pepper graying hair. He was wearing dark sunglasses, a collared gray shirt, and tan pants. He carried a greenish colored cloth bag that resembled a reusable grocery bag.
Anyone with information can call police at (619) 667-1400, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at (888) 580-8477. Tipsters are eligible for a reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest.

|20 Sep 2012
Windows 10 Education 64 bit
Just so you know, USB speakers don't use the sound card built into your PC. They have their own soundcard built into them. For them to work the correct drivers for that device must be installed. The data is sent over the USB bus to the sound card in the speakers. Now having said that, if these are just USB Powered speakers and they have an actual analog audio cable that plugs into the speaker jack. They are driven from the onboard sound card just like any other set of speakers. In that case you want to make sure they are plugged into the correct audio jack and are getting enough power from the USB bus.
EDIT: OK it looks like they are USB powered speakers and no driver is required. Other than the one for your sound card that is. It looks like its a sound card or jack/detection problem.
SECOND EDIT: I read everything over again and it sounds like you need to install the driver for your onboard sound card. Oh and please confirm for me that they are USB Powered speakers and have two cables. A USB cable and an audio cable.

Now available throughout Hawaii in surf shops and at Civil Defense, a free 18-minute DVD: He'e Nalu--But never try to surf a tsunami. Funded by Hawaii State Civil Defense, this video compares huge surfing waves generated by the November 2003 storm in Hilo with deadly tsunami waves. Scientists explain the nature of tsunamis and why you should be far inland during a tsunami watch or warning. View short clips of this DVD in the Video Gallery below!
Downtown Hilo, heavily damaged by the 1946 tsunami, was battered again in May 1960. (Martin Polhemus Collection, Pacific Tsunami Museum.)
The hardest hit area in 1960 was the Waiakea peninusla: nearly every building was flalttened or floated away. Above, a school building. (Matt Chow collection, Pacific Tsunami Museum.)

All quotes by Lucille Mancke

"He cut hair at the jail for nothing and he cut hair at the orphan's home (Guardian Angel Home in Crest Hill). If he was at home and someone called and wanted a haircut, he'd say, 'Come on over.' If someone couldn't get out, Charlie would go to their home and cut his hair."
"He probably gave away 55 zucchini last year. The garden was huge. It was higher than him. Even if he was standing up in it, you had to look to find him. We're going to miss it."

Alan Dennis Kulwicki, nicknamed "Special K" and the "Polish Prince", was an American NASCAR Winston Cup Series racecar driver. He started racing at local short tracks in Wisconsin before moving up to regional stock car touring series. Kulwicki arrived at NASCAR, the highest and most expensive level of stock car racing in the United States, with no sponsor, a limited budget, and only a racecar and a borrowed pickup truck. Despite starting with meager equipment and finances, he earned the 1986 NASCAR Rookie of the Year award over drivers racing for well-funded teams.
After Kulwicki won his first race at Phoenix International Raceway, he debuted what would become his trademark "Polish Victory Lap". Kulwicki won the 1992 Winston Cup championship by what was then the closest margin in NASCAR history. He died early in 1993 in a light aircraft accident, and therefore never defended his championship. He has been inducted into numerous racing halls of fame and was named one of NASCAR's 50 Greatest Drivers.
Kulwicki was known for being a perfectionist and doing things his own way. An engineer by trade, his scientific approach to NASCAR racing inspires the way teams are now run. Despite lucrative offers from top car owners, he insisted on driving for his own race team, AK Racing, during most of his NASCAR career. Described by his publicist as "a real hard type of person to get to know", he remained a bachelor throughout his life.
It's basically the same, just darker.

I grew one Ginger's Pride cantaloupe plant in an area with black plastic over it, in 2015. It produced two fruits, one of which was extremely large and ripened to a pumpkin orange. It was very juicy and tasty. The flesh of the orange one was kind of creamy (it reminded me of ice cream). It was very soft. However, upon refrigeration, it firmed up considerably. The second melon didn't ripen orange, and it wasn't as sweet or flavorful. Bugs started eating the bottoms of both fruits when they were ripe, but the fruits were fine, and I just had to wash them off and/or cut off a little of the bottom.

The largest melon we carry. Huge, oblong fruit averages 14-22 lbs. each! The skin is green, turning yellowish when ripe. The flesh is very sweet, melting, and of excellant quality. The vines set heavy yields. This variety was sent to us by a retired minister from Indiana. It has been in his family for many years, originating in Kentucky. THis is a melon to give any grower pride.
