"Three stunning ocean-front villas for 2-5 with a small private cove, on a tranquil headland in eastern Zakynthos (Zante)"
To swim, guests walk down to the private rocky cove or stroll 5 minutes to the quiet sandy village beach. To eat, there are the villas' modern kitchens and a BBQ or Ammoudi's trad tavernas. For divers or sailors, the Ionian Sea has secluded coves and spectacular caves to explore. For children, the lush shared garden has a playground. For everything else, there's concierge-style service from the Paradisso team. We're so excited to have discovered their exceptional villas in this hidden corner of Zakynthos and can't wait to stay.

There are 3 villas: 1 for a couple, 2 for 4-5. Margarita (sleeps 4-5+ a baby), in its own building, is ideal for a family or group of friends. On the ground floor, a stone fireplace separates the living and kitchen/dining area, which leads to a garden patio. Past a mezzanine floor, with master double bedroom and bathroom, you reach the second bedroom (2 single beds) and bathroom. The villa has 2 sea-facing verandas: a broad wooden deck with sunloungers and dining table, and a smaller balcony with canopied loveseat on the top floor. An additional guest can sleep in a sofabed in the lounge.
Alexandros (sleeping 4 + a baby) is on the ground floor of a shared building (but completely private). Inside, a bright open-plan kitchen/lounge, 2 smart bedrooms (1 queensize, 1 twin), ensuite shower bathrooms, and a big wooden balcony. A green lawn sweeps down to its clifftop terrace where there's a beautiful 4-poster daybed, in addition to sunloungers and a dining table.
Upstairs, Antonia (sleeping 2 + a baby) is a couples' bolthole. We love its pale-blue and white tones, spread across the double bedroom, kitchen/lounge, seaview balcony and a hammock.

Or ask Antonia to source fresh fish for your supper - a local fisherman will deliver his morning catch and you can grill it on the shared BBQ that night!
For lunch out, Ammoudi Taverna is cheap and cheerful, right on the beach. We hear Shoestring restaurant does a decent burger. For dinner, Kritamo is a lively family-owned spot in the village, that serves up pizza and fun Greek music nights. Zakynthos Town 15km away has lots of restaurants - ask for recommendations.

Classic Fly-Fishing Spring Trout Wrangler Package at Pipestem Resort State Park, West Virginia
OutdoorHub 04.12.12
The word "classic" generally conjures up images of cars, movies, and literature. At Pipestem Resort State Park "classic" is tied to fly fishing in the Bluestone River and the packaged experience is tagged "Trout Wrangler."
In spring and late fall, Pipestem State Park offers a fly-fishing package that includes two days of fishing, overnight at Mountain Creek Lodge, access by horseback, snacks, and four full-meals. Guide services and equipment use also are part of the offer. The package is available April through May 17 and dates in November.
"It is as good as any western state fly-fishing package – maybe better since it is closer to home," said Ed Wooton, outdoor specialist at Pipestem Resort. "It's remote fishing in good habitat and conditions, weather permitting. The rainbow trout are stocked by the park. The overnight is not roughing it, but a nicely appointed lodge at the base of the mountain. Mountain Creek Lodge opens for the summer season Memorial weekend and coincides with the summer operation of the aerial tram that transports overnight guests and is the only access to the lodge."
The access is by horseback for the fishing package. Participation is a maximum of 10 anglers or a minimum of six. "Ten or fewer people fishing erase distractions of a nearby angler," Wooton explained. The group can be individual anglers looking for a superior fishing experience, couples or twosomes combined with other anglers, or a corporate group. "We encourage parent-child twosomes, people who have always wanted to try fly-fishing, and seasoned anglers looking for a great venue," Wooton said. "The park receives high compliments from classic participants."
The Trout Wrangler package also includes good eats. Steak and rib dinner, two lunches and a full breakfast are part of the adventure. Joe Rhodes, stable operator, provides the well-mannered horses for the 1-1/2 to two-hour ride into the Bluestone Gorge. Rhodes is also "Cookie," preparing meals while people fish.
The spring wrangler fishing dates conclude May 17. Package rates are $319 per person inclusive of four meals, overnight accommodation, horseback transport, guide service (if needed), equipment use (as needed), all taxes, and classic fly fishing for rainbow trout.
For more information contact Pipestem State Park at 304-466-1800 ext. 393 or email [email protected]. Pipestem State Park is located in Summers county minutes from Athens and Hinton West Virginia. The park is open year round with lodge, cabins, camping, hiking, golf, restaurants and family favorites. The website is www.pipestemresort.com.

Can somebody elabroate on how the P.E. term e^2/r is thrown in shrodinger's(also Dirac) eqution for the hydrogen atom by assuming such term does describe the effects of the negative and the positive charge. It enters into the equation like mass, yet quantum theory( a good one) should calculate such energies, wouldn't you think. The theory should at least give us a function with some constant that we can supply experimentally. That does not sound good for a "fundamental " theory which we have to be keep feeding it ansatz. I can understand external potentials applied but not potentials generated by the system itself.

The Perm is Back! 6 Things you need to know.
Category : Hair
The perm: the hairstyle trend that you had to have in the 80's is making a come back!
BUT there is a difference…read on to find out how the perm has evolved into the latest hair trend.
The main difference between then and now in perming hair is; to get more volume and texture in the hair compared to the tight curls from the 80's. A beachier wave look with softer curls seems to be the most popular option today. The modern perm can also vary the size and tightness of the curl giving you a more personalized hairstyle.
The name of the perm might have even changed on the service menu of some salons. Names like 'the modern wave' or 'permanent textured curls' are now used instead. The perming methods today also use gentler solutions to perm the hair, although to get the best and most healthy look, it is very important how you treat your hair before and after a perm. The modern perm also provides smoother waves with lots of volume instead of dry frizzy hair.
Here are a few basic tips if you're thinking of getting your hair permed.
- Your hair should be in good condition. Treated, damaged and dry hair will be damaged more by perming your hair and should is not recommended. Wait for your hair to be in good condition before deciding to perm.
- Getting a perm for short or layered hair might come out not as you expected and should only be done for more appropriate lengths of hair.
- Applying any kind of chemical treatments before or after a perm is not recommended. For instance, colouring your hair just before perming can cause more damage and weaken your hair strands. Perming itself involves chemicals and heat that could damage hair and adding onto this could weaken your hair further.
- You must use a new product range and accessories:
- You will have to get products that help you to keep your curl for longer, specific shampoos, conditioners and gels or hairsprays. Keeping your hair moisturised and conditioned is important to keep your hair as healthy as possible. Dry hair means frizzy curls.
- When using a hair dryer, make sure you use a special attachment called a diffuser on a cool setting to keep those curls bouncy.
- Instead of a brush you should use your fingers or a wide toothed comb to keep your curls in place.
- Getting a perm is a commitment, you have to look after your hair properly and it's not something you can get rid of easily.
- Consult with your stylist if you are unsure about getting a perm. They will know the best option for your hair type and can give you professional advice to determine if a perm is for you. Make sure you choose a hairstylist that knows what they are doing when it comes to perming hair.
Here are some celebrities that have had a permed hairstyle and looked fabulous over the years.
Meg Ryan: Longer hair perm style
Charlize Theron: Loose Spiral perm for shorter hair
Kylie Minogue: wavy perm
Shakira: full small perms

[G.R. NO. 169494 : July 24, 2007]
CABALEN MANAGEMENT CO., INC., MA. ESTELA O. NIEVERA, IAN TIONGSON, ADJI TIONGSON, ESTER O. NIEVERA and ANASTACIA NAVAL, ADRIANO JR. CORPORATION, LEDA A. PANGILINAN, EVA S. CANDELARIA, ROSE MARIE MORALES, DANILO SUNUBA, LETECIA DAVID, MARLON BULANADI, MA. THERESA L. GADDI and CONSUELO HALILI REYES, Petitioners, v. JESUS P. QUIAMBAO, GERALDINE M. PALERMO, RODEL B. PANGILINAN, WILLIAM F. LACSON, ROCHELLE B. DE LEON, JOCELYN B. DEANG, EDGAR E. DE GUZMAN, VIZIER INOCENCIO, VINCENT EDWARD C. MAPUA and JESSEBEL G. OBIEN, Respondents.
From this Court's Decision1 of March 14, 2007, petitioners seek reconsideration.
In their Petition for Review on Certiorari before this Court, petitioners sought to set aside the April 29, 2005 Decision2 of the Court of Appeals (CA) in CA-G.R. SP No. 85159, which reversed the earlier rulings of the Labor Arbiter and the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC); and its Resolution of August 25, 2005,3 which denied their motion for reconsideration.
The assailed CA Decision held that except for respondents Vizier Inocencio and Vincent Edward Mapa whose petitions were dismissed pursuant to Section 5, Rule 7 of the Rules of Court and Section 4 (a) of the Rules of Procedure of the NLRC, herein respondents were illegally dismissed from their employment.
This Court, by Decision of March 14, 2007, affirmed the CA Decision, hence, petitioners' Motion for Reconsideration now subject of the present Resolution. To the Motion, respondents filed their Opposition.
In pleading a reconsideration of the Decision, petitioners invite attention to the fact that not one, but two administrative bodies possessing specialized knowledge and expertise in their respective fields, i.e, the office of the Labor Arbiter and the NLRC, had previously ruled that the dismissal of respondents from work was legal.
Petitioners claim that contrary to the CA's and this Court's holdings, the affidavits of their witnesses, Henry dela Vega Balen (Balen) and Roderick Malana (Malana), as well as the audit report dated September 19, 2001, are admissible and of rational probative value.
With respect to the statements executed by Balen and Malana, petitioners manifest that the originals thereof were submitted to the Labor Arbiter during the preliminary conference of the case; and even respondents have not objected to the submission of the statements, either on the ground that they were photocopies or that they were altered or were not presented to them at all.
Further, petitioners contend that respondents did not contest the findings of the audit report that the cancelled Order Slips (OS) and receipts, and the incidents of swapping dining OS with bar OS were beyond the course of ordinary business. Such finding should thus be accorded credit, they urge, given the observations of the Labor Arbiter about a "wholly credible scenario" of tip pocketing by respondents and the alleged admission of respondent Jesus Quiambao in his Sinumpaang Salaysay dated March 14, 2002, of the existence of the anomalous activity.
Petitioners furthermore maintain that the CA should have dismissed the petition with respect to respondents Geraldine Palermo, Rochelle De Leon, and William Lacson. For, so petitioners contend, respondents failed to sign the verification of their appeal to the NLRC to thus render the decision of the Labor Arbiter final as to them.
Finally, petitioners posit that the Decision of this Court should not have passed upon the legality of the dismissal of Quiambao because the same is subject of another case, NLRC NCR Case No. 00-05-06210-2003, which is still pending consideration by Labor Arbiter Ramon Valentin Reyes.
It bears stressing that this Court thoroughly considered the rulings made by the Labor Arbiter and the NLRC, which were pleaded by petitioners both in their petition for certiorari before the CA and in their Petition for Review before this Court. Then, as now, this Court appreciates no error in the reversal by the CA of the findings of the Labor Arbiter and the NLRC.
With respect to the statements of Balen and Malana and the audit report, petitioners need only to be reminded that evidence, even if not objected to, may still carry no probative value. For admissibility, should not be equated with weight, of evidence.4
Moreover, as respondents correctly point out in their Opposition, they have vehemently objected to the statements of petitioners' witnesses in their Reply5 for being self-serving, undated, wanting in material particulars and not executed under oath. The same Reply bears out the fact that respondents objected to the audit report for being self-serving.6
Even assuming that the originals of the statements of Balen and Malana were submitted to the Labor Arbiter, still the copies extant in the records are lacking in material particulars, specifically the dates of execution and the persons before whom they were executed.
Notably, these particulars are determinative of whether the statements as well as the audit report had indeed precipitated the investigation of respondents as petitioners had claimed; or were presented only after the cases for illegal dismissal were filed as respondents had contended.
It may not be amiss to reiterate that it is the employer's burden to prove a valid dismissal. The case of the employer must stand or fall on its own merits and not on the weakness of the employee/s' defense.7
In discharging this bounden duty, it is not enough that petitioners showed that Quiambao had confirmed the occurrence of incidents of tip pocketing; they also had to prove that he and the rest of the respondents were responsible for it. This duty is all the more pressing in the case of Quiambao considering that it was he who called the management's attention to the incidents of tip pocketing among some of his co-employees, only to be charged with the offense he had asked to be investigated.8 Not only that. Petitioners also had to prove that due process was observed in terminating the employment of respondents. As previously traversed in the Decision under reconsideration, petitioners unfortunately failed in all respects.chanrobles virtual law library
As to the alleged error of the CA in relaxing the verification requirement with respect to petitioners Palermo, De Leon and Lacson, it bears noting that petitioners had failed to raise this as an issue in its motion for reconsideration of the CA Decision,9 thus precluding the appellate court from addressing the same. In fact, it is only now that the issue is presented before this Court.
Finally, regarding this Court's judgment on the legality of Quiambao's dismissal, respondents' Opposition affirms that his case for illegal dismissal due to business losses, which is docketed as NLRC NCR Case No. 00-05-06210-2003, is still unresolved before Labor Arbiter Ramon Valentin Reyes. On this score, this Court sets aside the judgment concerning the dismissal of respondent Quiambao.
WHEREFORE, the Motion for Reconsideration is PARTLY GRANTED. The judgment pertaining to respondent Jesus P. Quiambao is VACATED and SET ASIDE. Petitioners Motion for Reconsideration is, in all other respects, DENIED for lack of merit, and the DENIAL is FINAL.

By Chris Geisler
On Saturday we held our third and final Richmond Riverside 10K race of the year. This time it was Autumns turn to host the Run, however it certainly didn't feel like it as the sun beamed throughout the morning and provided what felt like a Summers Run. The event was held at Ham House, one of our favourite venues which is perched on the side of a lovely section of the River Thames.
We welcomed 350+ runners on the day to Run the flat 10K route up and back along the River which always provides some lovely scenery. As the atmosphere in our hub began to grow in the early morning, we had our regular John's Melt Cafe on site to cater to everyones coffee and breakfast needs. Once registration was complete we had a juicy warm-up provided by the fantastic Swedish Fit Crew who are always a delight to have build up the energy just before the Start.
All finishing challengers were met by a large number of spectators which we can't thank enough for consistently cheering and praising from the first person over the line to the last. The event was absolutely awesome if we do say so, the energy at the finish was simply electric and that was felt by all taking part.
Thank you and stay tuned for more fun, high energy events!
We ARE addicted…

Successful people make it a habit of tracking their progress and they do it every day. Never calling it a (work)day without answering these 7 questions, and you will see massive improvements in your attitude as well as your accomplishments.
In my 18+ years of school, I never learned how to plan and set goals properly. It was something I had to find out myself. When I finally implemented it in my life, I learned there was another major thing school didn't teach me. This was that not only do you have to plan your day the right way, you also have to end your day the right way. Lynn Taylor, a national workplace expert and author of Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant, says this about ending your day properly: 'This is like the last impression that holds tremendous impact on your view of your work, attitude and productivity level. The end of your day sets the stage for tomorrow.'
Pick a partner
While you can perform the 7 questions routine by yourself, the best way to do it is to have a partner. Later in this article, you will find the benefits of doing this together. Who should you (want to) pick? For us as a business duo, this is easy. As we pursue the same goals together, it was best to pick each other.
When you do not have a partner, a colleague or a fellow student, you should find another like-minded partner. When you are a lifestyle entrepreneur, try to approach another lifestyle entrepreneur. When you are a HR professional, find a HR professional at another company. When you are a graduate, find another graduate. As long as your paths are similar, it is fine, because this will enable you to learn from each other and give each other solid feedback.
Haven't find the right person yet? Then just do it by yourself. Mail yourself the answers (you might skip 5 and 6).
The 7 questions
Now let's look at the magical seven:
- What did I accomplish?
- Is this enough?
- What went well?
- What could we improve?
- What can you help me with?
- Which suggestions do I have for you?
- What am I going to make happen tomorrow?
1. What did I accomplish?
What are all the things you have successfully completed today? Make a list of this. The easy way to do this is to keep track of your accomplishment during your day. Every time you finish a task, write it down. There are two main reasons why you should write down your accomplishments: (1) success breeds success, and (2) reporting on your accomplishments builds in accountability. It can be helpful to note the time it took you to complete the task, in hours for instance.
'Success breeds success'
I couldn't have said it better, so I leave this one to the legendary Zig Ziglar. This is what he says when he speaks about daily goal tracking:
'Yes – success begets success. That's why it is so important as you set and seek any goal, to arrange it so you can enjoy some success of some kind virtually every day. This 'positive feedback' increases your confidence so you begin to 'expect' and 'see' yourself as accomplishing more and more, which means you will do and be more and more. The only way to reach your long-range goals is through achieving short-range objectives. Keep your eye on your major objective, but remember as you reach your daily objectives you are getting closer and closer to those long-range ones.'
'Yes – success begets success. That's why it is so important as you set and seek any goal, to arrange it so you can enjoy some success of some kind virtually every day. This 'positive feedback' increases your confidence so you begin to 'expect' and 'see' yourself as accomplishing more and more, which means you will do and be more and more. The only way to reach your long-range goals is through achieving short-range objectives. Keep your eye on your major objective, but remember as you reach your daily objectives you are getting closer and closer to those long-range ones.'Zig Ziglar
'Reporting on your accomplishments builds in accountability.'
People have the need to finish things. If this doesn't happen, then our cognitive system reminds us of it, which is not a pleasant feeling. And when we have to put this on paper, there is nowhere to hide. So the feeling gets even more unpleasant.
Yes, confronting you with your own failures does work. The famous book I use to achieve my goals is 'Pick Four, Zig Ziglar's legendary goals program, updated and simplified, curated by Seth Godin'. In this workbook, you will tackle what you did to achieve your plan, once each day. If you don't do anything toward reaching a goal, you have to write 'NOTHING'. We could have been instructed to just leave it blank. But to put NOTHING on paper confronts us. Which makes us work harder to avoid NOTHING.
When you have to report to someone – Mandi Ehman calls this person your 'accountability partner', you are being held even more accountable. You now play the game together, and you don't want to let the other down. Besides, you can pull each other up. You don't want to be left behind. And you don't want to leave your partner behind. Commitment becomes even stronger.
2. Is this enough?
So you have put your accomplishments to paper. Now it is time for a little evaluation. Look yourself in the eye and decide if you have given all you got. Just answer with a simple yes or no. and if you feel like it, shortly explain why. 'Is this enough?' is adopted from Pick Four (thanks Seth).
3. What went well?
Every moment you think of 'what went well', directly improves your happiness. Introduced by founding father Martin Selligman, and scientifically proven. Asking 'what went well' makes you feel grateful, which gives you piece of mind. Excellent to end your day with. What-went-well's (or WWW's) are different from accomplishments. While accomplishments mostly are quantifiable and are part of to-do-lists, WWW's mostly are based on emotions. You may compare it to sports. An accomplishment could be that you won today. A WWW could be that you stepped into the game with a positive mind set.
A recent example of my 'what went well' is: 'Stepped out my comfort zone in the workshop.'
4. What could we improve?
This one is adapted from our ONE-a-day-app. The basic idea is: if you improve one step a day, you double in ability roughly every 70 days. When you adapt this growth mind set, you train yourself to get better every day. When you and your partner help each other improve, you give each other rapid feedback. According to Shane Snow, the writer of 'Smartcuts: How Hackers, Innovators and Icons Accelerate Success', this is one of the three principles to shorten your way to success. As Ivo Dias de Sousa summarizes, successful people tend to learn quickly both from their successes and failures. There are two keys to make this work. Make sure that you and your partner:
- Are constantly aware that the feedback is on the action, not on the person.
- Know that failure is part of the deal, and you are both allowed to take (small) risks.
5. What can you help me with?
If you want to win, you should plan to win. So if you need help from your partner, you should let him know in advance. Make it a habit of asking for help. Think ahead and also communicate a deadline so that your partner can integrate it in his agenda and you make sure you get it on time.
6. Which suggestions do I have for you?
Chris Ducker, the guy who wrote 'Virtual Freedom' and kicks ass working with virtual partners, has his virtual assistants answer this question every day. He writes that 'it allows you to see your business through fresh eyes'.
Sheraz and I thought carefully about this question before making it part of our routine. We were in doubt, because it has similarities with our'what could we improve'-methodology that we will elaborate on later on this blog. We've tested it, and found out that there are significant differences.
While 'what could improve' helps us to evaluate our performance of today, 'which suggestions I have for you' gives a voice to our wandering minds. During the day, all kinds of thoughts come to mind. Some of them are directly related to your work, others just pop up randomly. Capture the ones that could be useful for your partner. As an old Latin saying goes: 'Teaching is the best way to learn'. So by making suggestions to your partner, you make yourself implement it in your system, too.
A recent example of a suggestion is: 'We should get a mentor! I read it in another book, this time in Smartcuts by Shane Snow.'
7. What am I going to make happen tomorrow?
I borrowed this one from perhaps the most productive person in the world, Tim Ferriss. In Four Hour Workweek, a classic, he taught me:
'Don't ever arrive at the office or in front of your computer with-out a clear list of priorities. You'll just read associated e-mail and scramble your brain for the day. Compile your to-do list for tomorrow no later than this evening.'
It works brilliantly for me. As soon as I wake up the next day, I am aware of my goals, and I almost can't wait to start to achieve them.
The end (of your day)
Make sure to end your next workday with answering the seven questions above. You will be amazed with the massive improvements in your attitude as well as your accomplishments.

Such liquid models are now constructed routinely in the computer, using computer simulation techniques which, within the limitations of the assumed potential function, result in sample molecular assemblies which are consistent with the required equilibrium Gibbs ensemble. For non-crystalline solids (which are non-equilibrium assemblies) the use of such techniques is problematical {see below). Initially, we prefer to consider simpler approaches which illustrate more clearly the structural principles of non-crystalline dense structures.

Several integrated configurations having respective tags for the mixer and mounting brackets and alloy tube with weak edges, to knock. In this case, it is important to strike a hammer in a cork center. Doing this it is recommended on weight, substituting a chisel or knob. The resulting hole will be sharp, its fine tuning rasp.

According to Dave Meltzer, Jim Cornette is done with Impact Wrestling. The company is hosting Bound For Glory in Canada, and Cornette is not allowed into Canada due to several assault charges on his record.
There isn't any heat between the two sides. Jarrett brought Cornette in to shake the company up, e.g. stripping El Patron of the title, firing Bruce Prichard so that he could be a heel manager, and attempting to make Anthem Sports & Entertainment "good guys" to the wrestling fans.
Because Jarrett is no longer with the company, the two creative staff members, Scott D'Amore and Sonjay, are reported to be more focused on wrestling than authority figure storylines.
Meltzer also says that Cornette agreed to come to Nashville and do whatever needed on camera to write him off. There's currently nothing set in that regard.

After numerous wars and several environmental disasters, only two world powers remain; The United Civilized States (»UCS«)and the Eurasian Dynasty (»ED«). The damage caused by the long wars led both world powers to evacuate the population to recently built underground cities.
Natural resources are becoming scarce and have to be extracted above ground. There have been a number of small conflicts between the UCS and the ED, the last of which escalated and became a fierce and bitter war - the final world war. Only one side can win. This final war will decide who will get the last of the available natural resources and ultimately rule the world.

Words: James Merrick (1720–1769).
Music: Holborn Hill St. Alban's Tune Book (🔊 pdf nwc).
If you have access to a picture of Merrick, would you send us an e-mail?
On Thee, great Ruler of the skies,
On Thee our steadfast hope relies;
When hostile powers against us join,
What aid so present, Lord, as Thine?
By Thee secured, no fears we own,
Though earth, convulsed, beneath us groan,
Though tempests o'er her surface sweep,
And whirl her hills into the deep—
Though, armed with rage, before our eyes
That deep in all its horrors rise,
While, as the tumult spreads around
The mountains tremble at the sound.
Behold fair Sion's blest retreat,
Where God has fixed His awful seat;
Whose walls to Heaven's almighty Lord
His chosen residence afford.
No tempests here licentious stray,
But soft along their level way
The sacred streams their course maintain,
And crown with health their happy plain.
God, ever watchful, ever nigh,
Bids storms around her harmless fly;
His early care each foe withstands,
And backward turns the yielding bands.

WILLIAMSTOWN, MA — The Williams College women's hockey team (6-3-0) played an impressive game tonight, defeating NESCAC opponent Bowdoin (3-5-0) 7-1 at Lansing Chapman Rink. Senior Michaela Levine'16 (Lititz, PA) scored the game winning goal at 16:10 in the first period. Williams is now 4-1-0 for conference play, while Bowdoin is 1-2-0.
The Ephs came out on fire in the first period, with junior Chelsey Stevenson (Tilbury, ONT) scoring a short-handed goal within the first 6 minutes of play. Stevenson blocked a shot taken from the point, and carried the rebound on a breakaway down the ice to score a top shelf goal on junior goalie Laura Crofton's (Milton, MA) glove side.
Williams defense, lead by co-captain Hanna Beattie '17 (Whitehouse Station, NJ), killed the power play without giving Bowdoin a single shot on net.
The Ephs continued to work hard for the remainder of the period, digging out pucks from the corners to stay in Bowdoin's end. With five minutes left in the period, freshmen Eliza Quigley (Marblehead, MA) and Anna Fucillo (Winthrop, MA), worked together to clear the puck from the Williams zone. Quigley passed the puck to Fucillo up the boards, who carried the puck into Bowdoin's zone. Fucillo took a shot that Crofton deflected into the left corner, where the puck was picked up by Michaela Levine '16 (Lititz, PA). Levine carried the puck around the net, and proceeded to score off a shot low on Crofton's blocker side at 16:10, giving the Ephs a 2-0 lead. Levine leads the Ephs with a total of 10 points on 6 goals and 4 assists this season.
Williams kept the pressure on Bowdoin at the beginning of the second period, after outshooting the Polar Bears 12 to 1 in the first. Freshman Abby Brustad (Mound, MN) gave the Ephs a 3-0 lead 7 minutes into the period, scoring her first collegiate level goal. Junior Caitlin Buckley (Mahopac, NY) beat out the Bowdoin defense to take a shot which Crofton rebounded into the right corner. Brustad won the puck, and skated behind the net to score an unassisted wrap around goal.
Williams remained relentless for the rest of the period, keeping the puck in Bowdoin's zone. Junior Emily Krueger (Manasquan, NJ) capitalized on a Bowdoin penalty, scoring 25 seconds into the Williams power play at 11:24. Krueger scored unassisted after a scramble in front of the Bowdoin net, making it her 4th goal of the season.
Three minutes later, Williams went on the power play again. With another scramble in front of the Bowdoin net, Beattie got the puck to Stevenson, who fired it home for her second goal of the night at 16:03.
A minute and a half later, sophomore Kearan Burke (Shewsbury, MA) fired a shot that hit the Bowdoin post and rebounded in front of the net, which sophomore Alex Lovaas (Wayzata, MN) picked up to score her first goal of the season.
Williams kept the pressure on Bowdoin right after Lovaas' goal, with Krueger scoring her second goal of the night at 17:45, assisted by Stevenson and Beattie after a scramble in front of the net.
The Ephs finished off the second period strong, with sophomore goalie Christina Cleroux (New Glascow, NS) making a nice kick save with a minute left in the period.
Though down 7-0, Bowdoin fought back in the third period, putting pressure on the Ephs during a power play at 3:20. 40 seconds into the power play, Williams defense did a great job clearing the puck, when Cleroux sent a rebound past the blue line to her defenders.
The Polar Bears got on the scoreboard at 9:32 with a goal by freshman Miranda Bell (Plano, TX), beating Cleroux while she was sliding from left to right across the crease. However the Ephs held off Bowdoin for the rest of the game, winning 7-1.
"We had to play a fast-paced game against Elmira last Saturday, and our team did a great job maintaining their speed tonight against Bowdoin," said Eph head coach Meghan Gillis, "it was a great group effort tonight, and we didn't let up when Bowdoin pushed back in the third. We're looking forward to a good game tomorrow."
The Ephs outshot the Polar Bears 33 to 18 tonight.
Williams plays the Polar Bears again tomorrow at Lansing Chapman Rink. The puck drops at 3pm.

Aw, shoot!
The daffodils are up!
I always start the watch in January and this morning I saw them. Those are the daffodil shoots in the picture. I do not expect anyone to be able to make them out. I can hardly make them out!
But they are there!
Three years ago on Mozart's birthday, which is today, I was also writing about the daffodils. They are on my mind this time of year. Wow, looking back at that post, I can tell you one thing: My Christmas tree was a lot whiter then than it is now!
The Christmas tree came with instructions not to put it in the window, because putting it in the window yellows it. That is pretty dumb if you ask me. Where are you going to put the Christmas tree if not in the window? Anyway my tree has gotten kind of yellow. But when the lights are on no one can tell.
In 2011 the daffodils were later. It seems that I first saw them that year in February.
In 2010 it was March when I talked about the daffodils. That was the day I went to that snowy garage sale with my mom. I always remember that!
In 2009 daffodils figured in my list of 10 Things I Do Not Understand.
Ah, the memories!
This is why we have Web logs.

The coffee hour
OK, so it was mostly Lizzie, with the help of a number of friends from church. Mostly what I did was, I brought a Crock Pot of split pea soup and bread from the bread machine. Lizzie brought banana bread and beef stew and I do not even know what else.
Above is a picture we took before Mass. That is a Sicilian donkey cart in the background! This is St. Anthony's, where Pennario was baptized, the mother church of Buffalo's Italians.
We had to get there early to set all this up. And during Mass I am looking down from the choir loft wondering: Did Lizzie even get to Mass? Or is she still next door working on the coffee hour? All of a sudden while we were singing the Credo I realized she was there because there she was walking out. She had been sitting near the front and the incense got to her.
We do love our incense at St. Anthony's! We have clouds of it.
Anyway, I continued to be nervous about the coffee hour. Mass is going on and I am sitting there thinking: What about the crock pot, is it on Low? Should I have put it on High? Will the soup be hot enough? What if nobody eats it? It was an old hippie vegetarian recipe from the Moosewood Cookbook. What if people don't like it? What about the bread? Will people eat it? What if it crumbles when we try to slice it?
I was like St. Martha. St. Mary is the one who sits at the foot of Christ and listens to Him and meanwhile St. Martha fusses. That was me!
But it all ended up working out OK, and it was fun. The split pea soup all went. I was able to bring a bright tablecloth. The coffee hour was held until recently in this little room but now it has been moved to the social hall which is this huge cavernous space. It needed to be warmed up somehow.
What makes this kind of thing fun? I wonder that. But it was fun, all of us fussing over the coffee urn and the sugar and the various desserts. Lizzie, having recovered from the incense, had accomplished a lot including moving the crock pot to the front of the table and adding salt and pepper shakers. Desserts included but were not limited to: blueberry bread, cranberry bread, Timbits, mint chocolate chip cookies, and Entenmann coffee cake ... a must at every coffee hour.
Entenmann's is now owned by Bimbo Bakeries, a brand name I love.
We also had biscotti, made by Dorothy.
We also had biscotti, made by Dorothy.
Although she was not here to witness her culinary triumph. Once a month she goes to mass at the Dominicans and alas this was the day. But she had given me the biscotti in advance,.
I am already looking forward to next time. I will make another soup or stew, I do not know what yet. But I can make stuff in a Crock Pot in my sleep and have indeed done so.
The world runs on coffee, you know?
Without it, nothing would get done!

Standing tall
Today being Septuagesima Sunday I piously decided to take down my Christmas tree. Septuagesima Sunday is sort of the start of Lent. Lent does not technically begin until Ash Wednesday but the countdown begins today.
I had been talking a good game about keeping my tree up till Candlemas on Feb. 2. But how do you argue when Lent begins to cast its shadow? The Nativity Scene was gone from St. Anthony's this morning. The priest wore purple vestments. And there was my tree, still in the window?
T'aint right, I lectured myself. Take it down. And while you are at it, take all those Christmas magazine issues you have been cooking out of and put them away until next year.
But then, being that I have trouble making decisions, I decided to get on the Internet and double check. I Googled "Catholic When To Take Down Christmas Tree."
There were the usual folks saying Epiphany. Yeah, yeah. That ship has sailed. One Catholic site, I am not going to call it in, but it said, "Observe the holiday of Epiphany by taking down your Christmas tree."
What kind of a sad sack holiday observation is that? Someone has something screwed up. When Epiphany comes that is when you unpack your little statues of the Three Kings and place them around your manger scene. Then you make King Cake and feast on it with your friends. Fie on that Web site. Fie!
Then I found this essay on the Catholic Answers web site.
It was titled "Catholics! Keep Your Tree Up." And it concluded that it is right and just to keep the tree up until, yes, Candlemas. Even if Septuagesima Sunday gets there first! He specifies that.
Quoth the writer:
"If you want to be really traditional, you can celebrate what the faithful called "Christmastide" before the liturgical reforms that followed the Second Vatican Council. In the old rite, or what we today call the Extraordinary Form, Christmastide lasted for 40 days to correspond with the 40 days of Lent, and the 40 days from Easter to Ascension Thursday.
A 40-day party? Gloria in Excelsis! (And people say Trad Cats are a dour bunch.)End result, as we say here in Buffalo: instead of taking the tree down I plugged it in. Jeoffry was dancing at my heels. He loves the Christmas tree. We are always finding him just sitting there gazing at it. He sat down right then and there and feasted his eyes. He is a Trad Cat!
We have another week!
Perhaps I will listen to Christmas music. Perhaps I will bake more cookies.
On the other hand ... definitely I will!

Snow surprise
My brother George stopped by this morning and we went skiing in Delaware Park. Above is a picture I took! Well, I did not exactly take it. My camera did.
You know when you can't see into your phone to see what picture your camera is taking? That is a situation I enjoy. You just kind of point the camera in the general direction of what you want to photograph, and then later you get to see how you did.
I like that suspense! And I think the picture came out pretty well. It does not look like Delaware Park, you know? It looks as if you are on some country road in Vermont. With Bernie Sanders talking to you about income inequality.
I took a couple of more shots, blindly like that one. They were from the same location because it was a lot of trouble to set down my ski poles, take off my mittens, fish out my camera and snap.
They may not be the greatest photos but they do give you an idea of the kind of day it was, you know? I sort of like that last picture. It looks like Russia!
It is good to be back on my skis. This is my first time this season! I do not feel that lazy saying that because we did not even have snow until a couple of weeks ago. Now I will get out there again.
I am looking forward to seeing my camera's future pictures.
Perhaps I should have an exhibition!

City lights
Isn't that a cool picture? I should put it on Twitter. I am trying to Tweet more though like everything it is a habit that must be gotten into.
The picture is the trees outside The Buffalo News with the little Christmas lights.
Here is another shot.
And there is this one too. The light is somewhat different. The sky was different. Is this not a cool and brooding picture?
I liked these holiday gizmos you see when you are getting on the Metro Rail.
Fun with a camera! In a way these phones/cameras have changed our lives. You cannot just enjoy a sight. You have to photograph it.
On the other hand it is kind of neat to go over your life and you can see again what you saw on a certain day. And it does not take that much time out of your schedule.
It is funny with the snow now. The landscape is different. The sounds of winter -- the clank and scrape of snowplows. The whirling yellow lights of emergency vehicles. The traffic people on the radio. All the other stuff that Pennario was happy to leave behind when he moved to California as a boy.
You know what, as I told him, I do not mind not moving to California.
I would miss all this!
And this year we get only a couple of months. A few days ago I was still harvesting arugula from my, ahem, garden. Do your worst, you know? By March it will be over. We got two months' free ride.
It will be spring before we know it!

Venite adoremus
"And we're off!" That is what I wrote the other day.
We were not off for long!
Here it is Jan. 3. I am going to have to go fill in the missing day or else this Web log will pretty much scream that I do not have my act together. It is the in thing to double down on something in the New Year, or to do something on a daily basis.
For instance I have a Facebook friend who has vowed to write a poem every day for the month of January! The title of the first poem was "Keep Me Away From The Fridge." It was so catchy that I can actually recite it be heart.
So if he can do that I can do this.
Today for Show and Tell I have pictures of our church Nativity scene. That is it up above! I am continuing my church theme of the other day. Then I will fill in with other stuff.
The picture at the top of the post is there so you may love, as I do, how the lambs are as big as cows.
"A few of the animals are kind of out of scale," laughed one gentleman who was admiring the manger scene at the same time I was. This is up at the front of St. Anthony's to the left of the sanctuary, right by the baptismal font where Leonard Pennario went when he was 2 days old or whatever.
Just in time for Epiphany here are the camels batting their flirty eyes.
Here is a picture of Dorothy who was with me at the scene.
What a merry Christmastide this has been.
And continues to be!

And we're off!
My New Year got off to a late start because of, um, excesses yesterday. I was late to Mass this morning. It being the Solemnity of Mary and the Octave of Christmas, it is a holy day. I made it but not until the Gloria. Glory be!
But I was not alone. At Offertory time we had to sing "Puer Natus in Bethlehem" and we hit one verse and everyone got lost. Some thought we should sing the third verse, others did not. End result: quavery voices and because I do not quit, there is my voice going over the church. I sounded like a 10 year old boy.
Then we get to the end and we are all looking at each other.
I said to the gal next to me: "I see I am not the only one who had a late night last night."
It is hilarious when we goof something up but I feel bad too. I always worry that someone maybe is coming to mass who might normally never be there and that person's faith could be hurt because I MADE A MISTAKE. Because by my stupidity I shattered that fragile sense of the supernatural.
Later at Communion I goofed a line in "Resonet in Laudibus."
I goofed it twice. Twice!! Even though it was nowhere near as complicated as the performance I just posted. Because there is this song by Brahms that uses it and Brahms has the melody a little bit differently. And I have listened to that song thousands of times, literally. Now this melody is wired into my head wrong. I screwed this up last year too, if I remember correctly.
After Mass my friend Dominic asked me for a ride home because we live near each other and his car is in the shop. He had taken the bus to mass. Ha, ha! By the time I got him home I bet he wished he had taken the bus home, too! All the time I had been singing and goofing things up, snow had been falling. My car is terrible in the snow and there I am sliding all over the road. Not to mention I was half asleep.
Oh well. Speaking of Dominic, he has taught me to keep things in perspective. Another time we had all goofed a response and when it was through we all looked at each other rolling our eyes and making faces. Dominic shrugged and smiled.
In his Nigerian accent he whispered: "It is over."
A good thing to remember when you make a mistake. And to remember as we enjoy the fresh start of a new year.
You can always begin again!

Auction markets provide centralized procedures for the exposure of purchase and sale orders to all market participants simultaneously (Lee, 1996). In fact, auctions are not a new topic but have been widely used for centuries (Cassady, 1968). The design and conduct of auctioning institutions has caught the attention of many people over thousands of years. One of the earliest reports of an auction was used to allocate scarce resources in Babylon from about 500 B.C. (Shubik, 1983).
Nowadays, most transactions are conducted online via the Internet. To date, many traditional auction businesses are moving into the online auctions space and joining winners in this market place as a consequence of rapid growth of advance computer technology (Akula & Menasce, 2004). The major difference between these two types is the additional degree of flexibility, multiplicity as well as convenience in the way the online auction is conducted.
Previously, auction has to be conducted face to face. Hence, it requires a venue to gather all auctioneers as well as the auction participants. This requires a fairly high commission since a place needs to be rented, the auction needs to be advertised, and the auctioneer and other employees need to be paid. Since bidders must usually come to the auction site, many potential bidders are excluded. Similarly, it may be difficult for the sellers to move goods to the auction site. However, this does not exist as online auction allows clients to buy and sell items anytime and anywhere they like. Moreover, traditional auction has several limitations and deficiencies on the active period of bid submission. For example, an item only lasts for a few minutes before it is sold. This rapid process gives the bidders little time to make a decision. Online auction removes these deficiencies by providing bidders more flexibility on the time to submit their bids since online auctions are usually active for days or even weeks. Besides that, online auction can be more effective as there is no geographical limitation since both sellers and buyers will be trading in a "virtual" environment and payments can be made via online banking. Having a relatively low price and wider market in products and services, it had made the online auction more successful where it attracts many bidders and sellers as well. Online auctions also allow sellers to sell their goods efficiently and with little action or effort required. With all the benefits and advantages, auctions on the Internet have become a fascinating new type of exchange mechanism as well as an extremely effective way of allocating resources to the individuals who value them most highly.
According to Bapna et al. (2001). online auction is one of the most popular and effective ways of trading by bidding for products and services over the Internet. Nowadays, online auctions become an increasingly popular and effective medium for transacting businesses as well, either procuring goods or services, both between individuals over the Internet and between business and their suppliers. According to He et al. (2004) online auctions are increasingly being used for a variety of e-commerce applications. Over the last few years, a big number of online auction houses have emerged and the number is still increasing rapidly. According to the Internet auction (http://www.internetauctionlist.com/) there are currently more than 2600 auction company listings over the world. Some examples of popular online auction houses include eBay, Amazon, Yahoo!Auction and UBid. In addition, over 10 million items such as antiques, books, electronic appliances, agricultural products can be found daily for sale at online auctions. For example, in the popular auction house - eBay alone, there are often hundreds or sometimes even thousands of concurrent auctions running worldwide. According to David et al. (2005) online auctions continue to attract many customers and currently sell goods worth over $30 billion annually. For example the total revenue of e-Bay increased by more than $4.4 billion from 2004 ($3, 271,309) until 2007 ($7, 672,329).

Drasty ….. I'm an English Cocker
The history of English cocker spaniels dates back several thousand years. It is believed that the ancestor of modern dogs is the so-called ash dog. The ash dog lived in the Bronze Age, for the first time its remains were found in ash, hence the name. Apparently, people sacrificed these dogs to the gods of hunting by burning them at the stake. Of course, most of the dogs survived, as they were widely used in hunting, and, accordingly, were serious helpers in the survival of mankind on the planet.
In the future, similar dogs are found in Greece. These were not tall dogs, with long hair and saggy ears, which were actively used in hunting. Dogs were quite widespread, up to Iberia (the ancient kingdom, which was located on the territory of one of the regions of modern Georgia), then the dogs came to Europe and, to England, respectively.
