decorators across the country. They typically come in a natural or scotch finish and are always
high-rated by those who have them installed. They blend seamlessly with bamboo flooring for a
complete look that will be shown off for years to come.
Light Finishes
Choosing a light finish such as white or grey is a great way to open up a smaller kitchen or make
a bigger one seem huge! Who doesn't love a big
kitchen? Light and airy, these finishes are perfect for
those who many not have much natural light in their

Shaker Cabinets
Shaker cabinets are a minimalistic style that are modern and sleek, and a highly sought after
look in 2015 going into the next year. They come in all finishes but most tend to appreciate

Orlando (Florida), Oct. 17 (Reuters): Noelle Bush, a niece of President George W. Bush, was sent to jail in handcuffs for 10 days today after cocaine was allegedly found in her shoe at her court-ordered drug rehabilitation programme.
Bush, 25, who is the daughter of Florida Governor Jeb Bush, was led away from an Orange County courtroom to begin serving her second drug-related sentence this year.
It was the latest set-back in a series of much-publicised drug problems and came on the same day the President was in Florida campaigning for his brother, who faces a close race for re-election in November.
Circuit judge Reginald Whitehead held Noelle Bush in contempt of court after police investigated allegations that a lump of crack cocaine was found in her shoe in September at the Center for Drug-Free Living.
I am disappointed. You let a lot of people down, the judge told her. Whats important is, you shouldnt let yourself down ... I am also disappointed because I know you can do the programme. Noelle Bush was ordered into a rehabilitation programme at the centre after her January arrest on charges of using a false prescription to try to buy the anti-anxiety drug Xanax, which some cocaine users take to come down from their high.
Noelle Bush was sent to jail for three days in July for contempt of court after she was found with an unauthorised prescription drug, in violation of the terms of her treatment programme. I sincerely apologise for what happened, she told the judge today. I promise to do well at the Center for Drug-Free Living from now on.
She was accompanied in court by her aunt, Dorothy Koch.
Her lawyer, Peter Antonacci, asked for leniency and said she passed tests showing she had no illegal drugs in her system.
Under Floridas drug court programme, Noelle Bush must complete the rehabilitation programme in order to avoid prosecution on the felony drug charge from her initial arrest in January. The programme stresses breaking the addiction and requires the defendant to undergo counselling and treatment for at least a year.
It also requires her to make regular court appearances to measure her progress. Her attorneys had asked earlier this month to close the hearings to the public because of the publicity the case has attracted.
Whitehead refused, ruling on Tuesday that open access was a critical part of the success of the drug court programme. But the court ruled last month that staff at the drug center where Bush is being treated could not be forced to answer questions in a police investigation of the cocaine possession allegations.

About us
In 2010, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and the Food Standards Agency (FSA) invited key organisations to form an independent strategic group to advise Government on the impacts of lead ammunition on wildlife and human health.
The purpose of the Lead Ammunition Group (the Group) is to bring together relevant stakeholders and experts to advise Defra and the FSA on:
(a) the key risks to wildlife from lead ammunition, the respective levels of those risks and to explore possible solutions to any significant threats;
(b) possible options for managing the risk to human health from the increased exposure to lead as a result of using lead ammunition.
The Group was established in April 2010 and the most recent meeting of the Group took place in May 2015. The members of the Group's Primary Evidence and Risk Assessment Subgroup, Chaired by Professor Len Levy of the Institute of Environment and Health, conducted their work between 2010 and 2014. The members of the Group's Mitigation Subgroup, Chaired by Sir Barney White-Spunner conducted their work between 2014 and 2015.

What is smart or laser lipo? Who is qualified to do it?
Both of these are simply a machine utilizing a Laser to help break up the fat as an aid in doing Liposuction. Neither are better or worse than traditional Liposuction. The important consideration in deciding who should do Liposuction is the surgeon doing the procedure and their experience. Many of the companies who sell the Laser Liposuction machines are selling them to anyone who will pay for them. Consequently, many people doing these procedures have little to no surgical experience. No matter how you do Liposuction, there are risks to the procedure. Unless you are having a very small area liposuctioned, you should have it done in a certified facility. Generally, a very safe choice is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, since they are trained surgeons and equipped to handle any unforeseen problems; also, they are forbidden by their society from doing this type of surgery in anything but a certified facility. Ask what their experience is with this procedure and the specific technique they use.
Hi Lashel,
Despite the hype, to date there has not been a paper published that has shown objectively that laser lipo/slim lipo/smart lipo/cool lipo, etc. has any benefit over traditional liposuction. The most important thing to consider is your physician's qualifications. Board certified plastic surgeons have specialized training and credentialing in liposuction and body contouring. We also perform the spectrum of procedures for body contouring so our perspective is unique. Finally, you need to be at ease and comfortable with your plastic surgeon.
Liposuction and who is qualified to perform this procedure is a common question that we as plastic surgeons field in our normal practice. On its surface, liposuction seems like a simple procedure, right? And the short answer is that liposuction is a simple, low complication procedure, but only in the hands of a properly trained surgeon.
The key to understanding why it is important to seek a board certified surgeon is to realize that liposuction is only a tool. Just because you can use a saw does not make you a master carpenter. More judgment and understanding than most people understand or realize goes into the formulation of an individual surgical plan to give you the best result possible. Most board certified plastic surgeons have invested at least a decade of study and training focused on surgical techniques and treatment. This is your best assurance that you will have a safe and satisfying surgical outcome.
Getting back to Smart Lipo/Laser Lipo, there are three types of invasive liposuction techniques: Laser, Ultrasonic, and Water assisted. Because of the heat that can be generated with the laser assisted technique (Smart Lipo), some of us feel that it can help with secondary tightening of the skin, especially on the abdomen, neck, and thighs. It seems to work best on cases of mild to moderate skin laxity and small to moderate fat excess. It is not a good technique for large areas. Larger areas are best handled by the ultrasonic (VASER) or water assisted (Body-Jet) systems.
Good luck with your decision and be sure that all of your options including risks and complications are thoroughly explained to you.
Best Regards,
All liposuction is surgery, so the Smartest lipo is the one done by a qualified surgeon. A lot of effort has gone into branding liposuction procedures based on lasers and other technologies but a recent survey of plastic surgeons revealed that only about 4% saw any advantage to using laser with lipo such as Smart lipo and the other brands. Remember that the addition of laser technology adds some risk. Just as important to your safety as choosing the right plastic surgeon is making sure that the procedure will be done in a accredited surgical facility.
Getting good results in liposuction is not related to the machine used, it's related to the surgeon who is using the machine! For example, if you had the paintbrush that formerly belonged to Leonardo da Vinci, would you suddenly paint a masterpiece? Probably not.
There are no scientific studies that have been able to show a significant improvement in results with laser-assisted liposuction, or water-jet liposuction, or any other type of liposuction. They all work about the same. The only difference is the tremendous marketing spin that has been applied to the laser machines by the companies that manufacture and sell them.
Find a board-certified plastic surgeon that does a lot of liposuction, and study their before and after photos. Have realistic expectations. Find out if your skin elasticity is suitable for the procedure ....... liposuction doesn't predictably tighten skin.
All the best,
There are many different brands of laser lipo: SmartLipo, SLIM Lipo, and Lipotherme, but the core technology and core idea is the same - that a laser is used to melt fat, shatter fat cells, and to tighten skin. There is no scientific evidence to show that one machine is better than another.
In our practice, we do about ten laser liposuctions for every one traditional lipo. Patients are asking for laser lipo more often because it can be done awake, with minimal down time and recovery time. Laser liposuction is done with little needle holes, which fade over time and create smooth and firm looking results.
If you are interested in plastic surgery, you should go to a plastic surgeon. The credentials you want to look for are "Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery".

Team LCC - Newsletter 1
- By London Cycling Campaign on at 1:53pm 26 June 2014
- Posted in:
- Tagged with: Ride London, #TeamLCC
Thanks again for joining Team LCC, and welcome to the first edition of the Team LCC Newsletter – I will be sending this out every week in the run-up to Ride London 100, with information on fundraising and training to give you some tips, and build the excitement before the big day!
As always, send any questions to firstname.lastname@example.com , and if you haven't already, please send us a photo and a short description of why you are riding for the team for our gallery of team members!
Ride London is a great opportunity to raise money for London Cycling Campaign, and the efforts of Team LCC at Ride London are really important to supporting our work throughout the year.
Recent campaigns such as Space for Cycling, as well as the recent victory on 'Cyclist Stay Back' stickers are all funded through the efforts of our members and fundraisers!
We have a target of £5000 to be raised by Team LCC through Ride London. This might sound like a lot, but between the whole team we should be able to far exceed that!
To start, we would like every team member to commit to raising £100.
This isn't much – it's the equivalent of asking 10 friends to buy you a beer and a snack – or a couple of pints of 5-point Pale Ale. You are in training after all!
If everyone on Team LCC raises £100 we will be well on our way to hitting that target!
We have a London Cycling Campaign fundraising page on Virgin Giving here. It's definitely worth a look to see who is joining you on Team LCC!
Please do also add your own fundraising page to our LCC one – you can do this by going to our Virgin Giving site, and then clicking the blue button on the right and following the steps there.
It doesn't take much effort to make one, and can then direct your friend, colleagues and family to your own page – people are more willing to donate if they know that they are supporting the efforts of somebody they know!
If you need any help setting this up, then just get in touch!
Don't forget to share your fundraising page on Facebook and Twitter, and use the #TeamLCC hashtag!
For some top tips on getting started with fundraising, try this advice from the Ride London website.
STOP PRESS: Donations to Team LCC can now be made by text. Text LDCC02 to 70070 to donate £5 – maybe next time a friend is buying a round, you could ask for a donation instead!
Jim McCarthy (who some of you may know from last year) has kindly agreed to run some Team LCC training rides – email him at firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like to join!
Every week I'll be sending out some quick tips to help you get through the route – this week:Planning your Training
1. Planning is important!
It's worth sitting down to plan the training you will need to do for the event in advance – start with the 10th August and work backwards. The Team LCC training calendar below is a good guide – why not come along for the Team LCC rides?
2. Do the distance
It is important to do some long rides in the run up to Ride London – try to have ridden at least one ride of at least 80 miles before the event - this gets your body used to the demands of the event though be sure to rest in the last week before Ride London!
3. Don't forget to rest
It's on the days when you aren't riding that your recovers and gets stronger – don't think you need to ride every day – instead, it is important to build in some rest days to your training schedule – either take some time off the bike, or ride very slowly – for example, leave extra time for your commute and take it easy!
4. Keep a training diary
Logging the training you are doing is a good way of motivating yourself, and can also help prevent overtraining. This summer the LCC office are completing the 'Love to Ride' challenge – why not join Team LCC there and log your miles that way?
5. Don't panic!
There is still time to train for the event. If you are worried about getting through the distance, why not come along to a Team LCC training ride – talking to people who have ridden the route before is a good way to get advice and there are people of all speeds in Team LCC – maybe you will find a training partner!

Team LCC Training Rides - A message from Jim
There are 6 clear weekends until RideLondon, giving the opportunity for 12 possible rides at the weekends. I would not expect anyone to do all 12, but it gives anyone apprehensive about the ride the opportunity to get in early and find out more about the day, and anyone who is supremely confident can just turn up for one of the last rides to get a feel for the route and see if Leith Hill is as bad as they say.
I have set up an email address at firstname.lastname@example.com so you can let me know if you are coming on a ride, and ask any other questions. I have also created a course (suitable for Garmins, but also useful as a map) here: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/4997434 . The rides below will follow this so you can familiarise yourselves with sections of the route.
- Rides all meet at 0800 at Kingston Gate Car Park of Richmond Park (parking is plentiful at that time in the car park)
- Eat a good breakfast before the ride
- Bring water and repair kit. Do I need to say "make sure your bike is in good working order"?
- Bring some cash as we may well stop for coffee
- Bring a mobile phone and swap numbers with the ride leader.

After the second occurrence of a leukaemia type illness in a patient in a gene therapy trial in France for X linked severe combined immune deficiency disorder (SCID), the US Food and Drug Administration has halted all trials that use retroviral vectors for inserting genes into bone marrow stem cells.
The move is described as a "precautionary measure" pending investigation. No evidence has been shown of leukaemia in any of the patients in the United States who have had this type of gene transfer, says the FDA.

EducationI am currently an MBA student. My long-term goals include completing a doctorate in Educational Management. I possess a BA in Political Science, with a focus on International Relations- which includes Geography.
ExperienceI am interested in being a tutor to help me with my long-term aspirations- to open a charter school. My interest in elementary education has led me to pursue further interest as a PhD student upon completion of my MBA in less than a year. I have been invited to apply for several fellowships by various organizations, including the National Science Foundation.
Personally, I believe that teaching is a calling. It's up to the teacher to create an environment for the student to succeed; I also believe today's classroom structure does not allow that- for a number of reasons. Therefore, parents are compelled to supplement their children's education. Sometimes, students just need the opportunity to learn at their own pace in an environment that has been adapted to their needs.
As an undergraduate, I tutored students at elementary schools who were enrolled in supplemental reading programs. I've also provided reading, English, and Social Studies tutoring to local high school students throughout the Baton Rouge and New Orleans' metropolitan areas. My coursework included Geography, Sociology, Psychology, Political Science (including Constitutional Law, Civil Governments, International Relations, and American Foreign Policy).
I currently possess the CEM designation as credentialed by the International Association of Emergency Managers. I am certified in Basic First-Aid, AED, and CPR for adults and Children.
HobbiesI am a leader in my church's youth group. My hobbies include skydiving, traveling, and reading. I am currently taking Turkish cooking lessons.
One of my most passionate hobbies is creative writing. I have several books of poetry and have won poetry contests. Throughout high school and college, I edited various collections. However, my proudest collection is the family cookbook my cousin made as her wedding favors last year. While the cookbook was a collaborative effort among the wedding party, as the maid of honor, it was my job to make sure everything worked smoothly- which it did. The cookbook has been a tool of joy to everyone- even those who couldn't make it to the wedding!

Scarsdale mom in pot scheme deserves leniency, lawyer says
The Scarsdale mom charged in 2013 with running a Queens grass grow-house and a pot-trafficking business compared to the TV series "Weeds" deserves leniency because she has committed to Christianity, her lawyer argued in a sentencing memo filed Friday in Brooklyn federal court.
Andrea Sanderlin, 48, "has been walking a righteous path for almost three years and is committed to continuing down that path," wrote lawyer Corey Winograd, who contended that his client began dealing marijuana to support her young kids as a single mom.
Sanderlin's marijuana business allowed her to drive a Mercedes, pay for a $10,000 horse and riding lessons for her children, and rent a big house next to a golf course in one of Westchester's toniest villages. She was jailed for 6 weeks before making bail in 2013.
"I've waited 35 years for her heart to become one with God's heart and it happened during her 6 week stay in jail," Sanderlin's mother Trudy Byrns wrote in a letter to U.S. District Judge Brian Cogan.
Cogan is scheduled to sentence Sanderlin on April 14.

This film was 12 years in the making - 5 of those years were spent in actual production. The film featured a technolgical breakthrough - the Animation Photo Transfer (APT) process. It was the first major change in the Studio's method of transferring the artist's drawings to a cel since photocopying replaced hand inking 20 years earlier. Overall, the APT greatly improved the quality of the animator's art.

Students were instructed to create items related to either technology, medicine, or nutrition out of local plant species. During this process, students were required to create informative profiles for all plant species used, a short presentation on the creation process, followed by a reflective essay. The plant profiles of all species used can be found below. Included are the respective names (common, scientific, and Hulkemel'em), cautions, botanical descriptions, local habitat, ethnobotanical applications, and locations on UVic campus.

We could not have been happier. The rooms were up scale even by Western standards. Bathrooms were 5 star. We loved the breakfast and extended our stay. Some of the rooms have lofts and our kids slept above us in the loft. The restaurant is excellent. The grounds and the pool are very nicely kept. Lavender was blooming along the path to our rooms. We miss the friends we made there. The staff were wonderful. We took day trips to the sites in Tuscany and nearby regions, it worked out fantastically.

text: It seems that a basic setting should be brightness at max when charging and on auto when not charging. Am I missing something? If not, is there an app for that? On my Captivate, the screen blanks when on a phone call. That's counter-intuitive and unnecessary when charging. Once again, am I missing something or is there an app for that?

Knitting? Of Course!
So, where's the knitting on this knitting blog?!?!?
Yes, despite trips and visits and all, I have been knitting along. In fact, I've been doing some of that knitting while Dave has been driving! Not much has been finished, but that's me (and a lot of knitters) – always running off to start a new project.
During this trip I started this child's cardigan (size 3-4)
I have modified the pattern to be seamless, but didn't think through it entirely and made a few mistakes that I would do differently if I make this cardigan seamlessly again. It also has sewn-on buttonbands which are one of my least favorite things to do. I have managed to sew one side on and it wasn't quite the problem I thought it was going to be. I believe this has much to do with the pattern being written as completed x number of rows for all parts – never inches/cm. I still have to sew on the other buttonband and finish the other sleeve. I also found some great buttons for this!
The bubbles cardigan was purchased as a kit from KnitPicks. Molly bought the boys colorway and I bought the girls colorway (and then bought the boys as well, but haven't started work on it yet). This was really fun to work the yoke (knitted top down) but the kit yardage is very tight, so I'm holding my breath that I'll manage to not run out. The kit allows for a matching hat, so I can always fudge on the hat colors if needed.
I fell in love with this pattern and bought the yarn called for in the colors shown (sweetpea and teal). The yarn turned out to be more of an aran weight (a little heavier than worsted), and the sweater just flew off the needles. Unfortunately, these colors are really hard to photograph
and come out looking more like a weird yellow and military blue 🙁
I've got all the pieces knitted and only have the assembly and neckline left to do, however I'm having trouble finding buttons to work. All the current teal buttons are far more green than blue, and will not work at all. I called Webs to see if they sell the buttons shown on the pattern photo, but apparently they no longer carry those buttons, and everything they have that is "teal" is more green than blue. 🙁 So this languishes in my WIP pile.
I was so enthused by the pattern, however, that I bought some yarn from KnitPicks to make a second cardigan. This photo isn't the greatest, either, as the colors are a little duller than in person. The light green really is a "silver sage." This version is also knit but not assembled, however I did find buttons I like to complete the outfit. 🙂
I did finish some items in time for the county and state fairs – and managed to bring home some ribbons 🙂
Scottish Fleet, Springy Ring, and Spiral mittens. (Another pair of Springy Ring and Spiral mittens still OTN, waiting for thumbs…)
A lovely "vintage" baby sweater – and I found the perfect buttons! (The photo colors are off, but the buttons really are a close match.) I didn't get this into the state fair as they have funny cutoffs for baby things, so I am working on a hat of my "own" design and will add booties to make a 3-piece ensemble for next year's fair.
I've been knitting lots of squares for the MKG charity project, including the sample for the December challenge pattern:
and I finished a full crib afghan – remember this?
I made the bottom sections shorter than called for as I apparently was no where near what gauge was supposed to be, and it was getting waaaay too long. Fairly easy pattern and "brainless" knitting, but garter sure gets boring!
I've also recently been working on using up stash, and have made two of these and only have the buttons left to purchase and apply. Unfortunately no completion photos, only one "in progress" photo:
obviously taken quite a long time ago! These sweaters were a little funky, but once I made one it was easy. Very quick knit!
Shawn is also (hopefully soon) to be the recipient of another pair of twined mittens:
This one is now completed (except for thumb) and the 2nd one has been started. Hopefully she will have these long before spring! :p
I still have quite a few projects "resting" in my WIP pile and hope to get up the drive to finish those. In the meantime, I'm sure I'll be starting even more projects! So, what's on your needles?

text: (The following statement was released by the rating agency) CHICAGO, March 01 (Fitch) Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'BBB+' rating to TELUS Corporation's (TSX: T, NYSE: TU) offering of CAD325 million of senior unsecured notes due 2048 and $500 million of senior unsecured notes due 2027. Net proceeds are expected to be used to repay at maturity the company's CAD700 million of notes due March 2017 and to repay commercial paper, with the remaining balance to be used for general corporate purposes. TELUS's Issuer Default Rating (IDR) is currently rated 'BBB+'. The Rating Outlook is Stable. KEY RATING DRIVERS Strong Position in a Competitive Market: TELUS Corporation's (TELUS) ratings reflect the stability of the company's diversified operations, its position as one of the three principal national wireless operators in the Canadian market and its leading market position as a local wireline operator in western Canada and eastern Quebec. Growing Wireless and Wireline Data Revenues: Fitch believes the rating is supported by the continued strong performance of the wireless business, which generates solid growth in revenues, EBITDA and simple free cash flow (FCF; EBITDA less capital spending). Wireline results have also been solid, as TELUS has experienced consistent wireline revenue growth since 2011. Gross Leverage: Gross leverage for year-end 2016 was 2.7x, similar to the level at year-end 2015. Leverage is moderately elevated due to the acquisition of spectrum in auctions in recent years; spectrum is a key resource that is largely only available to TELUS through the auction process. Fitch believes moderate EBITDA growth will provide the company with the flexibility to manage net leverage within its 2.0x to 2.5x target range over the longer term. However, Fitch does not expect TELUS to get back within this range until early 2018. Stock Repurchases: TELUS's current normal course issuer bid (NCIB) program, announced in May 2016, permits purchases of up to CAD250 million in each calendar year for the next three years (the program is renewed each year). The current NCIB is more discretionary in nature than the previous NCIB, leading to lower repurchase levels. In 2016, TELUS repurchased CAD179 million in shares, in contrast to CAD628 million in 2015. TELUS International (TI): In June 2016, TELUS completed the sale of a noncontrolling 35% interest in TI to Baring Private Equity Asia, valuing the business at CAD1.2 billion. TELUS received approximately CAD600 million from the transaction including proceeds from incremental debt within TI. In total, TI has a CAD332 million nonrecourse financing (Fitch includes this debt within TELUS's consolidated debt) secured by TI's assets. TELUS used the proceeds to invest in its wireless and wireline networks. FCF and Capital Spending: TELUS's guidance for 2017 capital spending is CAD2.9 billion, similar to 2016 levels. KEY ASSUMPTIONS --Fitch assumes consolidated revenue grows in the low single digits in 2017. --Fitch expects the EBITDA margin to improve owing to efficiency initiatives. Restructuring costs are excluded from EBITDA but are included in non-operating cash flow as projected (CAD125 million total). --Cash taxes in 2017 are expected to decline to a range of CAD300 million to CAD360 million from CD600 million in 2017. RATING SENSITIVITIES Positive Rating Action: The rating could be upgraded if the company committed to maintaining gross leverage at a level lower than anticipated, i.e. in the range of 1.5x to 1.7x, along with continued strong wireless operating performance and stable wireline performance. Negative Rating Action: A negative rating action could be prompted by sustained gross leverage of 2.5x or higher due to a combination of acquisitions, spectrum purchases and stock repurchases in the absence of a credible deleveraging plan. In addition, operating profit declines owing to greater-than-anticipated competition could lead to a negative action if a return to stability is uncertain. LIQUIDITY Strong Liquidity: TELUS's financial flexibility is good, owing to its cash and temporary investments, undrawn revolver capacity, commercial paper program and accounts receivable securitization program. Cash and temporary investments amounted to CAD432 million at Dec. 31, 2016. TELUS maintains a CAD2.25 billion revolving credit facility maturing in May 2021. The financial ratio covenants in the credit facility restrict net debt/operating cash flow to no more than 4x and operating cash flow/interest expense of no less than 2x. The revolver backstops TELUS's CAD1.4 billion commercial paper program, which had CAD613 million outstanding at Dec. 31, 2016. Consequently, the CAD2.25 billion revolving facility had CAD1.64 billion in net availability. Commercial paper is denominated in U.S. dollars. The company's CAD500 million accounts receivable securitization program matures in December 2018, and TELUS had CAD100 million outstanding on Dec. 31, 2016, flat with the amount outstanding at the end of 2015. The program contains a trigger clause, which would unwind the program if TELUS Communications Inc. is rated below 'BB' by a Canadian rating agency, though Fitch believes this is unlikely given its current rating level. Near-term maturities are manageable at CAD700 million in 2017--to be repaid by the current offering--and CAD250 million in 2018. Contact: Primary Analyst John C.

Alexandria dance team: Cardinals take top spot at Detroit Lakes
Alexandria kicked up its heels Saturday, capturing top honors at the Detroit Lakes Invitational.
"The Cards had an outstanding performance in kick and took first place," said head coach Christine Reilly. "Five teams made up the Class AA kick competition and the Cardinals had a clear lead, despite still being short a couple of dancers due to illness and injury.
"After a disappointing finish last Tuesday at the CLC kick meet, the team knew they could do much better and the girls were determined to prove themselves.
"The captains - Madison Groettum, Emily Haan and Alexis Kokett - showed great leadership by not letting the team get down about a less than satisfactory performance on Tuesday," she added. "Instead, they kept the team loose but focused on getting the job done."
Alexandria was first in the order of competition, setting the bar high for the remainder of the teams.
"There are five categories on the kick score sheet, and the Cardinals led in three out of the five," said Reilly, "especially in the execution category."
Alexandria was first with four points, while Detroit Lakes was second with 5.5, Fergus Falls third at 9.5, Becker fourth with 11 and Crookston fifth with 15.
Alexandria will be at the Albany Invitational on Saturday.

June 24, 2011EARTHQUAKES PAGEMLS PAGE MLS SCOREBOARDNick Rosano
SAN JOSE -- Its that time of summer again. For most Earthquakes fans, Saturday's game is one of the biggest occasions of the season. David Beckham and the Los Angeles Galaxy will make the trip north to Buck Shaw Stadium in a match that more often than not provokes passionate reactions from the Earthquakes fans and provides yet another chapter in the seemingly ceaseless sports rivalry between Bay Area and Los Angeles.
The Earthquakes themselves, though, arent necessarily looking to get one over on the Galaxy because of any sort of rivalry, or even because the Galaxy is the top team in the league.
They're a good team, we know that. Our job is just keep trying to win games at home for sure and picking up your points and you wins when you can get them away from home, head coach Frank Yallop said.
For Yallop, the Galaxys visit provides another opportunity to face the team he coached for a season and a half between 2006 and 2007. However, Yallop insisted there was no extra emotion surrounding the Galaxys fourth visit to the Bay Area since he left the team. When asked if there was any personal meaning for the game, Yallop replied, It never did.
When you play against a team that you've coached the first time's a little uncomfortable, because it's not normal, he continued. You used to be with the guys on the field on the other side, but then once you've done it once it's over. I don't know many of the players now, anyway.
Yallop worked with Landon Donovan in both Los Angeles and in his early years in San Jose, but he'll be happy not to see him this weekend. The U.S. national team star, along with Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski, will be representing the United States against Mexico in Saturday evenings Gold Cup final, which is set to kick off less than an hour after the conclusion of the Earthquakes-Galaxy match.
Despite the absence of their offensive centerpiece in Wondolowski, the Earthquakes will be looking to extend their three-game home winning streak and continue their rise up the Western Conference standings.
While a win would still leave San Jose six points behind Seattle Sounders FC in the race for an automatic playoff berth, it would allow the Earthquakes to maintain a hold on one of the four at-large playoff spots while having played fewer games than most teams around them.
We're three wins in a row right now at home, so we've got good momentum going into this game, we've just got to concentrate on this game, just take it as another season game and try to get another W, Earthquakes rookie midfielder Anthony Ampaipitakwong said.
Theyre the best team in the league, record-wise, but for us its about making sure were ready to play any game we play, Yallop said. Columbus came in here on a seven game unbeaten streak and they were top of the East at the time, and it didn't matter where they were in their league, it's about winning for us and that's all we worry about, not the opposition.
However, it would be impossible to say fans desire to see a victory over the teams biggest rivals is something that the players are completely blocking out.
Big games, thats what we want to play, said Earthquakes forward Ryan Johnson, after being asked what effect the fans desire to see a win might have on the team. We want to play in big games, so we want to win this one for the fans first off, they really want this win against LA and we want it to.
Johnson, often a left winger with the Earthquakes, will be high on confidence after a successful Gold Cup campaign with Jamaica in which he netted two goals. While Jamaica eventually fell 2-0 to the U.S. in the quarterfinals, Johnson said of his goal scoring exploits, It only helps, so Ill just try to keep the same form coming back for the team.
Yallop shared a similar line of thought, saying after practice on Thursday: He looked sharp this morning, so he should be good to go for the weekend. He did well before he left and he had a good Gold Cup so Im excited to get him back on the pitch and he should do well.
Whether Yallop calls on Johnson, or any of the other number of players who have contributed to the teams recent success, the message to the team is the same: Its just another game.

Former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly reckons Kohli a fortunate captain as he gets to play 13 matches in a single home season. Though, he praised India's performance as well after a complete dominant season.
Ganguly wrote a column for ICC, where he said, "Virat will consider himself lucky as I don't recall any Indian captain and his team having an opportunity to play as many as 13 Tests at home in a single season. You still have to win a game, even at home, but we all knew India would win at least eight Tests, and they won as many as 10, missing out on a sure win in one, saving one and losing one."
The one match India missed out was in Ranchi, where visiting Australia batted tremendously well to save the Test on the fifth day against top-two spinners of the world. Before this, Australia outplayed India in Pune and Rajkot Test against England was drawn by Indian captain Virat Kohli.
Team India recorded their best ever home season and Ganguly believes that hosts have set new standards. He said, "Having watched the last 13 home Tests, I hope Virat and his team really has the potential to win anywhere — in or outside India."
Dada is very pleased with the victory in Dharamshala, where India forced Australia to bend on knees and won the game in a different fashion. "I was sitting at home around lunch time on Day three when Australia began its second innings. Over the next hour or so, I watched such great fast and hostile bowling by Umesh Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The way they got the Australians hoping and succumbing to the pace, I am so pleased for Virat," he said.
"The most memorable win came in conditions actually tailor-made for the Australians more than the Indians. The fact that India beat the Aussies at their game will surely give another twist to Virat's captaincy."
Ganguly further added, "Umesh is so confident. He knows what he's doing and credit to Virat for making Umesh realise what he can do. When India travel to South Africa this year and to England and Australia the next Virat will need his pacers to be fit and strong. If he can get a good third fast bowler, behind Umesh and Mohammed Shami, India will be a threatening side."
During the recently concluded series, Australia stopped India's unbeaten streak in Pune as latter was defeat less since its previous 19 matches. The last time India was on the sad side came against Sri Lanka in August 2015 in Galle, where Sri Lanka registered an unbelievable win over visitors.
The southpaw reckons that Galle loss was a turnaround for Virat Kohli's leadership. "I think the trigger happened sometime in August 2015 when, from a seemingly unassailable position, India slipped and lost the Galle Test," Ganguly added. "For a young captain and an equally young team, it was heartbreak and I was actually worried for Virat Kohli. But I was wrong. Like any good leader, Virat sensed the problem, spoke to his team and what has followed since has reinforced my belief in him and his team."
"When I was the captain, and with such a brilliant team, we all knew winning abroad would make our cricket memorable for the fans. Our overseas success was due to these three factors, and in that order only: bowling, batting, slip catching. I can see the same level of hunger in this team and this is the legacy of this home season," he further wrote.
"The captain is more passionate and more of a leader than anything else. He wants to win and win every day, and while it may not be possible always, I see Virat not settling for anything that isn't No 1."
The 44-year-old is a huge fan of Kohli and he describes why. "Why do I salute him the most? During the England series and in the Kolkata Test against New Zealand, I spoke at length with Virat and not once did he ask me or the curator for any alterations to the pitch. He was just willing to take on the opposition, no matter how the conditions were," he signed off.

THE Stone Roses will announce a reunion tour next week, The Sun can reveal.
The full original line-up – Ian Brown, John Squire, Gary "Mani"
Mounfield and Alan "Reni" Wren – have signed up for a series of
comeback gigs.
All four members will be present at a press conference in London on Tuesday to
outline plans for shows next year.
Earlier this year The Sun revealed how Squire and Brown had buried the hatchet
after a bitter 15-year feud – and opened discussions about reforming.
At the time both Mani and Squire dismissed the story as they tried to patch up
problems behind the scenes.
A source said: "It has been a tough few months getting everything sorted
out, but the outcome has all the lads smiling again."

~Read on:
The short story is my favorite form of fiction to read. Period. It has been since I was a kid.
Yes, I enjoy novels. Yes, I'm writing one. But there is something so absolutely perfect about a well-shaped, imaginative story that one can read in less than an hour, sometimes less than half an hour, sometimes a handful of minutes. One brief, potent experience that takes little time but leaves a strong mental and emotional impression. Resonating in your head. Short fiction can be poetic or stylistically daring without wearing on one, the way a strongly stylistic novel can grow tiresome.
A short story can sustain one perfect note--one tone, one theme, one voice--and leave an echo for weeks.
And a collection or anthology has the wonderful benefit that a smorgasbord does. If you don't like one, just go to the next. Unlike a novel, where if you end up hating the voice or the character, you put it down and it's gone. Nothing else on the menu. Nothing to do but go on to another novel.
There are multitudes of beauties in the short story. (Read Doris Betts and see if you don't feel more alive and human and somehow expanded in your inner regions after reading something by her. Or Katherine Mansfield. Or Gene Wolfe.)
A small investment of time. A huge possibility for pleasure and, maybe, change.
I think short story writers have it tougher than novelists, too.
In a novel, you can pad it, have scenes that are kinda dull, but the overall effect can be enjoyable and excellent. In a short story, every word and sentence really counts. A novelist can build a great story from one germ of a good idea/premise, and said idea/premise can keep them busy for a year or more. A short story writer must come up with new characters and premises all the time, some dozens of them a year. It's a demanding form. Flaws are more easily seen because of the brevity.
And a writer is hard-pressed to make a good living from just short stories (although, granted, there are exceptions). Many must go to novel form to attempt to make a pro living at it.
Still, short fiction is the form that introduced me to some of the best of SF, and where some SF greats have shone their brightest: Harlan Ellison. Theodore Sturgeon. Connie Willis. James Tiptree, Jr. Robert Sheckley. Ray Bradbury. R.A. Lafferty. Cordwainer Smith. Kelly Link. Jorge Luis Borges.
Short fiction has also been a great springboard for many terrific novelists. Orson Scott Card's classic novel was first a short story called "Ender's Game." MORE THAN HUMAN started as a shorter work of fiction. So did A CANTICLE FOR LEIBOWITZ. So did BLOOD MUSIC.
And most of the novelists I went on to read in SF, I first encountered in short story form in some anthology or in one of the SF magazines I could pick up at the bookstore or newsstand. It's a medium that nurtures talent, discovers it even, and makes the readers say, "Hey, I like this. Wonder if they have any books?"
Well, the short story in SF is in trouble, say many, including the SlushMaster of REALMS OF FANTASY who blogs over at Monstrous Musings. Here is a lengthy excerpt from the blog entry calling for a SUBSCRIPTION DRIVE:
I got to thinking just how depressing the numbers for the short story market have become. It's been on a steady decline for some years, and it's only growing worse. Going by these numbers Realms of Fantasy took a nasty hit, and we're in better shape than most. I'm hopeful our upgraded website will draw more subscriptions when summary for 2006 comes out. That remains to be seen.
Either way, the short story market is dying. We always talk about it, but very few people seem to do anything about it. So it got me to thinking about what I could do. I'm a novel boy at heart, but since coming to Realms of Fantasy I've grown to love the short fiction market. I want to see it go on. But if we keep going as we are, if people keep treating this market like America treats oil, it will dry up. Permanently. Yes, there are online venues and I'm all for them. Anything that promotes the genre is great. But at the moment these venues are fighting to create viable business models. Their ultimate success remains to be seen.
So again. What could I do? Well, it occurred to me how in recent years there have been subscription drives for Talebones and also The Apex Science Fiction & Horror Digest. I think there was also a drive of sorts to save Ralan.com. All three of these drives were successful. Mostly word spread the blogosphere. And people did something.
So I thought to myself, "Hey, what if we did a general subscription drive, to boost the magazines for general purposes? Every subscriber counts." The difference here is that I'm not talking about any specific magazine in danger of dying. There is no immediate urgency. Nothing right now. But like with oil, one day we'll wake up and the magazines could very well be gone. We need to do something now, before that happens.
So I'm asking people to do two things. First, spread this post throughout the blogosphere. Get the message out. Second, if you haven't subscribed to a magazine recently, unless you don't have the $$$ pick one and subscribe! At least one. Saying you don't have the time to read the magazine is a lame excuse. How many of us have books we bought years ago that we haven't read? I do. Add a few magazines to the pile. What's the harm? And if you just read novels, try short stories. Why have you only been reading novels, especially if you want to be a writer? Do you honestly think there is nothing to be learned from reading shorter works? And don't tell me you've tried all the magazines. New ones are always starting. And when a new editor takes over the helm, in many ways that magazine becomes new. (You can't very well tell me you've tried the new Weird Tales. Ann Vandermeer has been the editor a couple of months, sure, but the magazine has an inventory to get through. Her selections haven't been published yet, but they soon will be). Or you can ask for suggestions. I'll answer them. So will other people reading this post, here or elsewhere. The speculative community is cool like that.
Excuses are nothing but that. So pick a magazine. Again, it doesn't have to be Realms of Fantasy (although it can be). Make it Fantasy Magazine, or The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, or Weird Tales. Get your fantasy someplace else. I don't care. Just get it. Or get some science fiction from Asimov's or Analog. Or if you think online mags are the next wave, then go to Baen's Universe or Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show. Or maybe there is smaller magazine you're been kind of curious about. Subscribe. Help them take the next step in their publishing timetable, or help keep them alive. And if you're not sure which magazine to subscribe to, another option is to go to Ralan.com and see which one looks interesting.
Don't be that schmuck who litters because you figure someone else will clean up your mess. Everyone who reads this genre and isn't subscribing is making that mess, causing this market to wither and die. And don't tell me why this won't help. Just spread the word and subscribe. Now. If you don't, that's why this won't help. Because every subscription does help. Negativity and the word "but" are not welcome here.
I subscribed this past January to FANTASY. I also subscribe to MYTHIC DELERIUM. Some of my subs have lapsed (AOIFE'S KISS, DREAMS & NIGHTMARES). I prefer to buy my REALMS OF FANTASY because large magazines tend to get all deformed in my wee mailbox--torn and crunched up and just plain mangled, sometimes. I don't have this problem with JIM BAEN'S UNIVERSE, because the magazine is all online. (I renewed for a second year). Orson Scott Card's INTERGALACTIC MEDICINE SHOW is also an online read.
I edit at three online mags: two SF (mostly Christian SF) and one horror. I've scaled back how much I do lately due to busyness, but I still believe it's important to support artists of short fiction and poetry. I know what it's like to have a shrinking budget, cutbacks in what we offer. And we're a FTLOI publisher (ie, DEP). The majority of the monies to publish DKA, TSR, Fear and Trembling, etc, come from the staff. Like I said, for the LOVE of it.
Many FTLOI mags have closed the door. Darker Matter did so recently.
But pro magazines are the places where writers get a chance to qualify for membership in the SFWA. Pro magazines tend to be where the nominees for Hugos and WFAs and Nebulas come from. Pro magazines are able to offer some decent sort of pay for the creative labors of the best in the field(s).
You care about SF?
Then support the laborers.
So, I'm joining the SlushMaster in calling for a subscription drive.
Go now and sub to an SF mag. And I'd add this: Donate to one of the online mags who let you read their stuff for free, too. I'm sure that Strange Horizons, Ideomancer, Abyss & Apex, and MindFlights would love to have your spare change.
(Note: Strange Horizons is in in a fundraising drive, and donations are tax-deductible. Also, depending how much your give, you might qualify for some goodies, such as their artsy membership card. See pic right.)
And when you support some of these mags, you also support the artists whose work goes on the cover and sometimes in the interior of the publications. That's good, too!
And if you don't like SF, then go support a magazine that gives you the short fiction in the genre(s) you do like. Basically, just don't let the short story form fade away and die. Keep it breathing and dreaming!
So, you in on the drive? What are YOU going to subscribe to?
(Please REPORT your subscription here, so that they can see if the subscription drive is making headway in the blogosphere.
