Searching for God among many voices
We are surrounded by many voices. There's rarely a moment within our waking lives that someone or something isn't calling out to us and, even in our sleep, dreams and nightmares ask for our attention.
And each voice has its own particular cadence and message. Some voices invite us in, promising us life if we do this or that or buy a certain product or idea; others threaten us. Some voices beckon us towards hatred, bitterness and anger, while others challenge us towards love, graciousness and forgiveness.
Some voices tell us that they are playful and humorous, not to be taken seriously, even as others trumpet that they are urgent and weighty, the voice of non-negotiable truth, God's voice.
Within all of these: Which is the voice of God? How do we recognize God's voice among and within all of these voices?
That's not easy to answer. God, as the Scriptures tell us, is the author of everything that's good, whether it bears a religious label or not. Hence, God's voice is inside of many things that are not explicitly connected to faith and religion, just as God's voice is also not in everything that masquerades as religious. But how do we discern that?
Jesus leaves us a wonderful metaphor to work with, but it's precisely only a metaphor: He tells us that he is the "Good Shepherd" and that his sheep will recognize his voice among all other voices. In sharing this metaphor, he is drawing upon a practice that was common among shepherds at the time: At night, for protection and companionship, shepherds would put their flocks together into a common enclosure.
They would then separate the sheep in the morning by using their voices. Each shepherd had trained his sheep to be attuned to his voice and his voice only. The shepherd would walk away from the enclosure calling his sheep, often times by their individual names, and they would follow him.
His sheep were so attuned to his voice that they would not follow the voice of another shepherd, even if that shepherd tried to trick them (shepherds often did this to try to steal someone else's sheep) by imitating the voice of their own shepherd. Like a baby who, at a point, will no longer be cuddled by the voice of a babysitter, but wants and needs the voice of the mother, each sheep recognized intimately the voice that was safeguarding them and would not follow another voice.
The voice of God is the one that most challenges and stretches us, even as it is the only voice that ultimately soothes and comforts us.
So, too, with us. Among all the voices that surround and beckon us, how do we discern the unique cadence of God's voice? Which is the voice of the Good Shepherd?
There's no easy answer and sometimes the best we can do is to trust our gut-feeling about right and wrong. But we have a number of principles that come to us from Jesus, from scripture, and from the deep wells of our Christian tradition that can help us.
What follows is a series of principles to help us discern God's voice among the multitude of voices that beckon us. What is the unique cadence of the voice of the Good Shepherd?
---The voice of God is recognized both in whispers and in soft tones, even as it is recognized in thunder and in storm.
---The voice of God is recognized wherever one sees life, joy, health, color and humor, even as it is recognized wherever one sees dying, suffering, conscriptive poverty and a beaten-down spirit.
---The voice of God is recognized in what calls us to what's higher, sets us apart, and invites us to holiness, even as it is recognized in what calls us to humility, submergence into humanity, and in that which refuses to denigrate our humanity.
---The voice of God is recognized in what appears in our lives as "foreign," as other, as "stranger," even as it is recognized in the voice that beckons us home.
---The voice of God is the one that most challenges and stretches us, even as it is the only voice that ultimately soothes and comforts us.
---The voice of God enters our lives as the greatest of all powers, even as it forever lies in vulnerability, like a helpless baby in the straw.
---The voice of God is always heard in a privileged way in the poor, even as it beckons us through the voice of the artist and the intellectual.
---The voice of God always invites us to live beyond all fear, even as it inspires holy fear.
---The voice of God is heard inside the gifts of the Holy Spirit, even as it invites us never to deny the complexities of our world and our own lives.
---The voice of God is always heard wherever there is genuine enjoyment and gratitude, even as it asks us to deny ourselves, die to ourselves, and freely relativize all the things of this world.
The voice of God, it would seem, is forever found in paradox.

Me vs. the Malicious Mallard
How online popularity contests are killing politics
Luddite? Not me.
I like tech.
Played Pong, loved Space Invaders. Was obsessed with the TRS-80, Commodore 64 and Apple II. One of my first jobs, as a traffic engineer for an Ohio suburb, had me programming a Honeywell 77 computer the size of a small car; I loved those crazy punchcards ("do not fold, spindle, or mutilate"), FORTRAN, and the green glow of the LED terminal.
I was among the first cartoonists to put my email address on my work; I loved the instant audience feedback. Still do. So I blog and I've embraced social networking. I tweet. I post to Facebook. And Google Plus, though I'm not sure why. LinkedIn has the dumbest business model ever -- in the middle of a depression, it's where jobseekers meet nonexistent would-be employers -- but I use it anyway (to connect to other underemployed losers).
So. Note to people who are reading this online: I'm one of you.
Anyway, when a friend told me I should post my cartoons and columns to Reddit, I did.
Reddit, which was owned by the Condé Nast media conglomerate from 2006 to 2011 and is now its sister company, is a bulletin board whose registered users ("redditors") post items to various categories ("reddits"): links, images, thoughts, whatever. As these entries appear, redditors can "upvote" or "downvote" them. Each reddit has a front page where posts with the highest net number of votes (upvotes minus downvotes) appear first.
According to Wikipedia, "Officially, votes are intended to indicate importance and relevance to the topic, and not popularity (i.e., a downvote is not a dislike; it merely indicates that the redditor thinks that the submission is not worthy of making it to the front page." From Reddit's FAQ: "Well written [sic] and interesting content can be worthwhile, even if you disagree with it ... If you think something contributes to conversation, upvote it."
Nice theory.
Like capitalism, it doesn't work so well in the real, virtual world.
First I posted under my name. There's no rule against it, but it turns out redditors dislike self-promotion.
So I created an anonymous handle.
Here's the thing: What makes the top listings at Reddit is usually dumb. Really, really dumb. Rock-bottom low-brow. Stoopid.
As I write this, here are the top three:
A link to a photo of rolls of Christmas wrapping paper in a store, with the shrink wrapping punctured on each.
A link to a photo of a shark that appears to be smiling.
A link to a "meme," a joke photo of a duck called the Malicious Advice Mallard with the caption, "Marriage failing? Have a baby that will fix it."
This is a typical mix: Fluff, fluff, fluff. Yeah, I'm biased. Whatever. I think my stuff deserves as much play as a photo of a smirky elongate elasmobranch. Thus my fake handle.
The good news is that hundreds, sometimes thousands, of Reddit readers follow the links to each of my cartoons and columns.
Then an interesting pattern occurs.
There's an initial flurry of upposts. The item climbs. Then there's a flood of downposts.
This mirrors what I've seen elsewhere online. Left or right, political content often gets an initial burst of positive responses posted by people who agree with its point of view. Popularity-based metrics like Reddit's bring the item to wider attention, which includes people who disagree with it. Who then vote it back down.
Usually to zero.
I've seen the same phenomenon on other sites but it's particularly pronounced on Reddit because of its upvote/downvote scheme. I'll watch my cartoon soar through upvotes only to come crashing down to zero as the downvotes come in.
It's not just my stuff. Most content with a strong political point of view gets crushed by downvoters who evidently don't know or care about Reddit's "vote it up if it's interesting, even if you disagree with it" admonition. The result: political content is vanishing down the cyber memory hole. It's still there -- if you can find it. But most people won't bother. They'll go to Reddit's main page, click on the funny animal photos, and leave.
It's not just the specific political content that's disappearing. It's the idea of politics itself. When politics isn't part of the dialogue online, the idea that we can and should argue about the laws and ideas that govern our society disappears from our national consciousness. People simply stop thinking about it. Those who remember to look for political content take note of the disappearance of politics and draw the conclusion that they are alone, that politics aren't popular. If you like politics but no one you know does, you probably won't bug others with the subject. Soon the subject starts to fade from your own brain.
What's crazy is that politics are popular. Reddit readers read my political cartoons. They vote them up. But you wouldn't know that from looking at Reddit.
Should you care?
As the crisis of print media continues to shrink mainstream reporting, analysis, and opinion, sites like Reddit are supposedly poised to step in to fill the void. A clunky transition is inevitable.
The problem is too many online consumers and gatekeepers think they're already awesome: "One of the weirdest things about the Web is its eagerness to obsessively criticize every other form of media except the Web itself. Traditional journalism is dying, and it's just a matter of time before the Internet figures out a new and improved form that will make everything perfect forever," Michael Barthel wrote on Salon in July.
Barthel was criticizing "citizen journalism." But his web skepticism can also apply to social media's unwitting contribution to depoliticization: "The Web seems neutral because it is an open platform that anyone can use. But just because anyone can does not mean everyone does. The stories that get covered are the ones citizen journalists care about most, and these citizen journalists tend toward a certain social-cultural-economic orientation."
The Internet is exciting. Old media is stodgy. But democracy will suffer unless the Web gets better at politics.
Thanks to the social-cultural-economic orientation of too many redditors, it's the Malicious Advice Mallard's world. We only live in it.
Not that you can see us on Reddit.

Family Safari to Kenya with Abercrombie & Kent: An Experience of a Lifetime
For families with a thirst for adventure, a safari trip to Africa may be the ideal cure to the winter blues. Leave the planning to Abercrombie & Kent, a luxury travel company that's been at it for half a century, now nominated for a Readers' Choice Award in the Best Luxury Family Winter Vacation category.
Founded in 1962 by a British family living in East Africa, Abercrombie & Kent offers an unparalleled family safari in Kenya. The 11-day itinerary starts with a flight to Nairobi, the capital of Kenya and cultural, economic and political hub of East Africa. Once there, you'll start your journey with a visit to Daphne Sheldrick's Baby Elephant Orphanage, where keepers sometimes sleep with lonely animals at night. Proceed to the Giraffe Center, where you'll feed long-necked beauties from the palm of your hand.
Next, you'll head out into the wilds with a drive to the Sweetwaters Reserve, one of the best places to spot a rare chimpanzee or black rhino. Then delve deep into bush country with a trip to the Samburu game reserve, rife with buffalo, lion, leopard among others; meet with members of the nomadic Samburu tribe and track game, catch butterflies, or even ride a camel.
The next day, you'll spend the first of three days on the Masai Mara Game reserve, sleeping in tents near the Talek River and witnessing the vast expanse of the African savannah. Travel to a nearby village to learn about tribal culture and discover the proper way to throw a spear or light a fire with sticks. For amateur aviators, consider the optional hot air balloon safari before heading home.
Abercrombie & Kent's Kenya Family Safari is the experience of a lifetime, but these kind of memories don't come cheaply. The cost, based on double occupancy, is $5,825 per person plus airfare. For those who can afford it, there are few alternatives that can compare.
Vote now for what you believe is the best of breed for each of the Winter Travel categories. Readers' Choice Awards for the Best in Winter Travel will be announced on January 31st.

Garrett Jones carried his momentum of winning the Greater Cedar Rapids Open right to a spot in this week's Web.com Tour event.
Formerly the Nationwide Tour until just recently, the Web.com Tour is one step short of the PGA Tour and Jones, who won the GCRO with a tournament-record 19-under par Sunday, continued his hot play Monday in the Open Qualifier for the Cox Classic. That 72-hole tournament begins Thursday at Champions Run Golf Course in Omaha, Neb.
Jones, GCRO first-round leader Chris Thompson of Lawrence, Kan., and 2011 GCRO winner Andy Winings and 22 other GCRO competitors all hit the road Sunday from Marion after the final round of the tournament to try and qualify for the Cox.
Jones and Thompson both shot 8-under par 64's at Tiburon Golf Club in Omaha and tied for second in that qualifier. Winings shot a 7-under-par 65 and tied for first in a second Cox qualifier at Bent Tree Golf Club in Council Bluffs, Iowa. All three will tee it up Thursday in the $650,000 Cox Classic, where first place pays $115,000.
Jones, who had rounds of 67-65-65 to win the GCRO, stayed red hot. He was 6 under in his round Monday when he bogeyed the par-3 16th hole. But he came back and birdied 17 and finished his round with an eagle on the par-5 18th hole. Thompson, who led the GCRO after Friday's first round but never got it going again after that, had eight birdies Monday in a bogey-free round.
Winings also had a bogey-free round at Bent Tree, recording five birdies and an eagle.
A total of 169 golfers teed off in the qualifiers with 25 of those coming right from the GCRO. Seven players out of each qualifier advanced to the Cox.
The GCRO came up just short of having a few more of its golfers make the Cox. At Bent Tree, Winings and two others had 67's and four golfers had 6-under-par 66's to advance. One shot short of forcing a playoff were 10 golfers including five who just played at Hunters Ridge – 2011 GCRO champ and Waterloo native Brock Mulder, native Australian Rhein Gibson of Edmond, Okla., Justin Hueber of Ft. Wayne, Ind., Matt Pridey of Sioux Falls, S.D. and Ryan Dillon of Phoenix, Ariz. Dillon tied for 10th at the GCRO.
Ryan Blaum, who also tied for 10th here, and James Vargas of Big Break fame, shot 3-under-par 69's, while former University of Iowa golfer Brad Hopfinger, Jeff Kellen of Rockford, Ill., and Jon Mansfield of Clearwater, Fla., all shot 2-under 70's. Other GCRO competitors failing to advance out of Bent Tree included Robby Ormand of Austin, Texas (1-under), Joel Thelen of Ft. Worth, Texas (1 under) and Cory Powell of Scottsdale, Ariz. (7 over). Ormand tied for fourth here.
At Tiburon, GCRO competitor Chase Wright of Bloomington, Ind., also fell one shot short of a playoff at that site, also with a 5-under 67.
Nate Barbee of Clive, Iowa, who tied for 10th here, shot a 3-under 69 Monday and failed to qualify. Waterloo native Derek Bohlen and 2012 GCRO runner-up Seth Fair of Brownsburg, Ind., shot 2-under 70's. Bryan Novoa and Andrew Koonce, both of Texas, were even par while Clark Collier of Edmond, Okla., and Greg Forest of Stuart, Fla., were at 73. Adam Tannehill of Wichita, Kansas, shot 74.

How new cancer drugs are developed
By Sheryl M. Ness, R.N.
14 comments posted
Have you ever wondered how new drugs are created and approved for the treatment of cancer?
Every year, researchers study and develop new treatments in hopes of finding just the right connection to stop or prevent the growth of cancer cells.
While it may seem that every day we hear about a new cancer treatment that's available, the tedious process can be 8-10 years in the making.
The agency regulating drug approval is the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) within the Department of Health and Human Services.
The FDA is in charge of making sure that new drugs, vaccines, gene therapies and other biological treatments are safe and effective before they are released on the market for standard treatment for cancer patients.
To make certain that new drugs are safe and effective, first the new drug is studied in the laboratory and with animals. Next, clinical trials with people are needed to study the safety and best dose of the new treatment. This is done in Phase I clinical trials.
After the first phase of study is complete, it moves on to Phase II to study how the new drug works against a specific cancer. Researchers continue to focus on safety and report the side effects, complications and short-term safety.
If the early phases of the research are promising, the drug continues on to Phase III which compares the new drug to standard treatment. This is typically done with hundreds of people across the country or around the world.
Finally, if the new drug proves to be better than the standard treatment, the FDA reviews all of the research data, including the risks and benefits and any new side effects, and makes a decision regarding approval.
During the process of approval, the FDA can decide if the new drug should have a priority classification — a faster approval, which means that the new treatment shows major benefits over existing treatment.
The FDA uses an independent advisory committee to review each new drug application. The committee is made up of experts in the field of medicine and research as well as consumers (patient advocates).
If you'd like to learn more about the approval process for new drugs, see the National Cancer Institute's website. For more information about cancer clinical trials, see Mayo Clinic's clinical trials website or the National Institute of Health's clinical trials website.

With the ship date for iPhone 5 pre-orders just a day away, more than a few people might be wondering what to do with their old cell phones. Shove it in the junk drawer and throw it out in a few years? Bequeath it to a younger sibling?
Israel Ganot, CEO of electronics re-commerce site Gazelle, has a better idea for the 2 million or so people waiting for their new Apple gadget to arrive in the mail: Sell their old phone to his company and do their wallet—and other consumers—a favor.
"We want to make it simple," he says of Gazelle's site, where consumers enter some information about the gadget they're looking to sell and a get a quote within seconds. Those with certain iPhones can rake in as much as $266, according to the site. Even phones with missing buttons or the dreaded cracked screen can fetch a decent price.
Just 3 percent of cell phone users now "re-commerce" their old cell phones, as Ganot calls it, but he says the benefits make it a no-brainer.
[Read: Net-Zero Energy Home Could Make Utility Bills a Thing of the Past.]
"There are very easy, hassle-free ways to get value for your old devices," Ganot says. "It makes upgrading more affordable and you ensure that your two-year-old device has a more wholistic life cycle."
Other sites, such as uSell, have sprung up to resell used electronics—many of which are discarded before their time thanks to the relentless pace of innovation in consumer electronics. But unlike Gazelle, which is a direct buyer of used items, uSell functions more like a marketplace.
"It's like the Kayak of the used electronics industry," says Dan Brauser, CEO and co-founder of uSell, referring to the travel-focused rate comparison website.
Instead of having to market and sell their iPhone on eBay or comb the internet for the best deal, consumers using uSell go to one site, type in the relevant information about their item, and uSell returns a handful of potential offers. From then on, consumers work directly with the would-be buyer and usually receive a prepaid shipping kit to send the item to a buyer. After inspection, the seller receives a check in the mail or funds via PayPal. The whole process can take as little as three days.
While millions of Americans might be looking to unload their old cell phones every year or so, there's a healthy—and growing—market for the secondhand devices, both within the United States and overseas. But going through an Apple retailer or cell service carrier isn't always the most cost efficient method—or even possible in some cases.
[Read: Analysts See Bright Future for Big Home Builders.]
Replacing a lost or broken phone could cost unlucky cell phone users hundreds of dollars, but buying a refurbished one online is usually much cheaper. Companies that insure cell phones for loss and damage are also big users of secondhand cell phones—when a customer drops a phone in a toilet and calls for a replacement, they usually receive a refurbished device, which likely comes from a reseller.
But the market for pricey electronics isn't just an American institution. Tremendous demand exists abroad from consumers in Europe, China, and Southeast Asia. While getting one's hands on the latest Apple gadgets might be a cinch in the States, overseas consumers often have limited access to new products or they are simply too expensive.
"Some retailers will repackage and sell these items in different parts of the world where second-hand devices might be more valuable," says Steve Abernethy, president and CEO of SquareTrade, a consumer electronic warranty company. "They'll find the highest prices paid in other parts of the world. It's a bit of a different business model."
The burgeoning market for used cell phones here in the United States and abroad is prompting companies in the space to ramp up their marketing campaigns in hopes that the marketing push can get more Americans to start turning in their old cell phones for cold, hard cash. The practice has already taken a firmer hold in Europe and the United Kingdom, experts say, with about 21 percent of all used phones there reintroduced to a secondary market.

Though companies such as Gazelle have seen sharp increases in site traffic—uSell averages about 750,000 unique site visits per month and Gazelle just passed its one millionth gadget sold—executives still see room for the business of second-hand cell phones to grow as much as 10 percent over the next few years.
"The market is more mature after two generations of iPhones," Ganot says. "People are ready for something new."
But simply raising awareness about the availability of these services and increasing the supply of second-hand devices ready to go to market isn't the only growth the industry sees on its horizon. Along with the demand for used cell phones, the market for electronics such as laptops, MP3 players, and cameras is heating up as well.
"The basic challenge we face is inertia in terms of consumer behavior," Ganot says. "We're doing a lot to get the word out to say, 'Hey, you're buying a new phone—what are you doing with the old one?'"

Activating your multimedia keys with ReMoot
If your laptop multimedia keys aren't working in Linux, the fix could be easier than you think. We'll show you how to manage multimedia applications from the keyboard using ReMoot.
From this article, you will learn how to make Linux (with KDE) recognize special-function keys and how to make them function with all your favorite multimedia applications. Many contemporary desktop and laptop keyboards include multimedia keys (for "Play," "Mute," "Volume Up," and so on), but often these special keys don't work well with Linux. Recently, I decided it was high time to get the multimedia keys on my laptop to work.
I needed to solve two problems. The first was getting Linux to recognize the (potentially non-standard) keys; the second was getting each key to perform the necessary multimedia function. Fortunately, KDE lets you easily associate keyboard actions with commands, and a tool called ReMoot provides the necessary command set for accessing multimedia applications. In this article, I describehow to activate keyboard and laptop multimedia keys with ReMoot.

Mariners vs. Blue Jays 10:07am Game Preview
Can the M's sweep the Jays? I sincerely hope so considering how much I can't stand the team from the other side of my country.
Toronto is 3-21 when scoring fewer than five runs. Let's hope that trend continues today with Joe Saunders on the mound. While the Blue Jays seek to end their 1-4 homestand on a positive note, the Mariners have designs on earning their first series sweep in Toronto since May 11-13, 2001.
Mariners LH Joe Saunders (2-3, 5.25 ERA) vs. Blue Jays RH Brandon Morrow (0-2, 5.29)

Steelers Activate Matt Spaeth; Release Richard Gordon
PITTSBURGH – The Steelers have activated tight end Matt Spaeth from the Reserve/Injured; Designated to Return List, the team announced today.
Spaeth was placed on the Reserve/Injured; Designated for Return List on September 3, 2013, after he suffered a foot injury during the preseason. The seven-year veteran was originally drafted by Pittsburgh in the third round (77th overall) of the 2007 NFL Draft and played his first four seasons with the Steelers before spending the 2011-12 seasons with the Chicago Bears. Spaeth signed back with Pittsburgh this past offseason.
To make room on the roster, the Steelers released tight end Richard Gordon. Gordon signed with Pittsburgh on October 15, 2013, and has been inactive for seven games, including two he missed due to injury.

Published: 12/18/2012 10:04 PM | Last update: 12/18/2012 11:25 PM Haven pulls sweep over NickersonBeachy leads boys to 60-48 victory, while girls have easier time in 51-18 win.HAVEN - Jed Beachy has found his shot. He's found his rhythm. And Haven is reaping the benefit of it.The 5-11 senior, who hit a buzzer-beater on Friday to beat Pratt, followed it up on Tuesday with an 18-point performance in the Wildcats' 60-48 victory over Nickerson that kept Haven perfect going into the break.
That said, is the holiday layoff a good thing? A team on a streak usually wants to keep playing. Then again, some much-needed time off isn't a bad thing. And there will still be some practice time for the Wildcats to work on things before they return to the court Jan. 4 against Hesston. "It will be good to get back to practicing," he said. "There are some parts of our game we need to sharpen up." Lonnie Paramore wouldn't argue that point. He wasn't happy with his team's first-half performance. Fortunately, a turnover-prone attack didn't prove to be punitive because the Panthers (1-5) were missing point-blank shots. "We were better in the second half," he said. "But in the first half we got sped up. We were trying to play too fast." Nickerson's chance to jump out and play with a lead fell flat when the Panthers couldn't find the scoreboard for the first six minutes of the contest. With Haven turning the ball over and Nickerson missing shots, the Wildcats had a 2-0 lead - and you get the feeling the Panthers had missed their opportunity. "It was a slow start for us," said Nickerson coach Ryan Duft. "We got the ball where we wanted, but we didn't convert. It would have been big for us to get off to a good start. It's hard to always be playing catch up." By the time Nickerson found its way offensively, the Wildcats, too, were rolling. The tandem of Beachy and Luke Johnson proved to be more potent than the 22-point performance turned in by Nickerson's Ryan O'Toole, who almost single-handedly kept the Panthers in the game. O'Toole knocked down a three-point play with 2:52 to play in the third quarter to cut Haven's lead to two, 31-29. It would never get that close again. Isaac Ensz knocked down a shot inside and Cody Crabtree followed with a driving shot that pushed the lead back to six. In the fourth quarter, Beachy took over. He hit a 3-pointer to give Haven a seven-point lead and then converted on a drive to make it 44-35. After a turnover, Johnson, who had 17 points, was fouled on a put-back layup. His free throw made it 47-35 with about six minutes to play and forced Nickerson to foul the rest of the way. Haven got a boost with the return of sophomore point guard Tim Hendrixson, who injured his right wrist late in the football season. He was rusty in his first action of the new season, but he figures into Paramore's plans in the second half. Getting him some action on Tuesday wasn't a tough decision, Paramore said. "I debated playing him," he said. "Then I figured he could just as easily get hurt at practice. He has been at all of the practices. He deserved the chance to be out there." Hendrixson showed obvious rust - and a bit of fatigue - but the time off will give Paramore the chance to work him into the rotation. Sophomore Ethan Beldon had 14 points for Nickerson, while Crabtree added nine for the Wildcats. Haven girls 51, Nickerson 18 - The Wildcats worked on their patience and it paid off immediately. They passed the ball 23 times on their first possession before coming away with an easy layup. It was that way all night for Haven, which goes into the holiday break with a 5-1 record. "We talked about working on execution," said senior guard Hailey Davis, who scored 13 of her game-high 24 points in the third quarter. "We wanted to work on our game. We wanted to work on being patient." The Wildcats will now get two weeks off before resuming the season Jan. 4 with a big Central Kansas League showdown at Hesston. "They're very good," said Haven coach Dwight Roper. "We know we're going to have to play well. That's how this league is. That's good for us. You get better by playing good teams." Davis was pretty sharp in this one, hitting on nine of 10 shots from the field, including all three of her shots from beyond the arc. "When we first got started, I could tell I was on," she said. "It was just a matter of getting my feet set. We knew we were going to get a lot of open looks against a zone." Meanwhile, winless Nickerson struggled against Haven's defense. The Panthers didn't manage a shot until five minutes had elapsed. In that time, they turned over the basketball seven times. Nickerson finished the game with 25 turnovers. "We needed to work on us - our game," Roper said. "We have some things we need to get better at doing. I am proud of the teamwork tonight. We executed and got some good looks."
Paige Stewart led Nickerson with four points, while MaKayla Stucky added six for the Wildcats and Samantha Stallbaumer chipped in with seven.

text: What should I do ???? I applied 6 oz fiberglass and epoxy to the bottom of my new build Bluegill skiff. I made up 5 batches of 12 oz of epoxy, because that is the biggest measuring container I had. I either did a poor job of stiring/mixing or measuring hardener and resin. Anyway, one batch did not cure. I partially removed uncured epoxy using a squiggee, rags and alcohol, and rags and acetone. Squiggee, rags and alcohol, and rags and acetone only partially removes epoxy from the fiberglass. What should I do ???? I thought I should just let it set-cure-dry for a day, then apply additional coats of epoxy to fill-in fiber weave.

On behalf of the Ouray Mountain Air Music Series committee, we would like to extend a huge thank you to the entire community for embracing this inaugural year of free concerts in Fellin Park. We are halfway through the month-long series, and we would like take a few words to share some information and thanks.
First, thank you to all the attendees who have filled the park, danced to the music, supported our fundraising efforts in the beverage tents and the local food vendors. Thank you for being respectful and responsible. Thank you to all the kids who have enjoyed the bounce house and playground, played basketball and hackeysack, and filled the park with your joyful laughter. Thank you to the pets and your families for attending the concerts on your leash, and cleaning up after yourselves. In our first two concerts, we estimate we have had over 1,400 people in attendance and have had relatively few issues.
Next we'd like to thank Rob Miller and Pickin' Productions. Rob has handled many of the musical logistics including securing the bands, sound, and lighting. Rob is present at each concert to ensure an excellent concert for our bands and our attendees.
We'd also like to thank our incredible Ouray Police Department, who have been so supportive of the series and have worked with us patiently on this brand new event. They are there each week to ensure that everyone celebrates in a fun and safe environment.
A question has come to our attention that we would like to answer here. "How can we afford to bring in such great bands?" To answer this question, we would like to highlight the incredible financial and in-kind support provided by the City of Ouray, businesses, organizations and individuals on our corporate sponsor list. The budget for the bands has been entirely funded by these generous community members. They are the reason we have the talented and diverse bands that perform each week. Please take any opportunity to thank them for their amazing support. The committee will be organizing additional fundraising events during the fall and spring to prepare for next year's concert line-up.
The committee would like to thank all the volunteers who have helped us with the huge tasks and details required to make the concerts safe and successful. We will need additional help for the next two weeks, please consider volunteering for a shift – jobs include set up, tear down, band hospitality, perimeter detail and much more. ou still get to listen to the music and know that you have made a personal contribution to the success of the concerts.
See you in the park!
– Monica Moran, Dave Turner, Katharina Papenbrock, Heidi Pankow

Makes Power Discs A Pain
By Mitch
from Lafayette, LA
About Me Hardcore Gamer
Comments about Performance Designed Products Disney Infinity Base Protector:
DON'T BUY. What I thought this would be was a simple sticker to place atop the base. This is actually a plastic shell that your base slides into (which, okay in retrospect makes ALOT more sense). It comes with cool little pictures to personalize your base, but the biggest and most glaring issue here is that it makes swapping out power discs - something you do pretty often if you're me - a complete hassle. I find the circular discs not that bad to take out and was almost considering keeping the protector, and then I went to my Toy Box and tried removing a stack of hexagonals. Impossible. Had to take my figure off the base, along with the circular discs, and dump the hexes off just to change them out.At the end of the day, how badly is your base every going to be damaged? You shouldn't be throwing it around the room or dumping hot coffee on it. Just be careful, buy the $3 warranty on the starter pack just in case, and avoid this well-intentioned but ultimately headache-inducing accessory.

Not worth the money
By sunny747
from Kentucky
About Me Frequent Player
We purchased this item at the local TRU store. We were told we needed this item, but upon bringing it home, we could not even get the lid to shut and we were afraid it would do more damage to the base. In addition, like another reviewer said, there are holes where the figures and disks go, so it's unlikely that this would protect from any spills. Overall, I feel that this item is useless in protecting your base, and if anything it could cause damage due to a poor fit.

About Me Casual Gamer
I purchased this item because it was on a list of necessary items to accompany your game. I agree that if your base gets damaged then you are out a lot of money however I do not see who this item will help from scratches or drink spills since the area of the readers are still exposed even when enclosed in the protector. Also the power discs fit snuggle into the protector making it a headache to change them out. I would say do not waste your money on this item.

Healthy gift ideas for the holidays
By Jennifer Nelson, M.S., R.D. and Katherine Zeratsky, R.D.
17 comments posted
For the past several years, I've blogged about holiday gift ideas with a health twist. Consider giving any of these gifts to family and friends. Or give a hint that you might like to receive one yourself.
Here are this year's picks:
- Canning starter set. Gardeners and fresh produce fans will appreciate getting a jump start on preserving next year's bounty. Most sets include a water bath (large pot), jar lifter, funnel, jars and lids. Newer low-cost kits have nonmetal racks that can be used in kitchen stock pots. Toss in grandma's favorite canning recipes.
- Food games. There are tons of trivia games out there for foodies. Check out the latest cooking edition of the legendary "letter tile" game. Don't forget that little ones like to play with food too — search on "kitchen chemistry toys" and "play food" for gift ideas.
- Muffin top pan. This fun gift makes it easy way to enjoy the best part of the muffin — and keeps the serving size reasonable.
- Thermal totes and reusable grocery bags. Help family and friends keep food safe and be environmentally conscious when grocery shopping.
- Daily calendar with tear-off healthy recipes. Great for last-minute meal ideas. While you're at it, include a recipe box so favorite recipes can be saved.
- Magnetic strip and spice tins with see-through tops. Fill with favorite spices. Add a favorite recipe or two.
- Apron or chef coat. Dressing the part can be an inspiration to get cooking. Styles vary from nostalgic aprons to professional chef coats.
- Frozen pop molds or makers. Fun for the whole family, these molds can be filled with pureed fruit for a healthy frozen treat.
- Tea mug with built-in infuser. Add herbal, green or white tea. This gift is a great way to kick the coffee habit and get more antioxidants.
- Gym bag. A nice new bag may provide the motivation to get back to the gym.
Need more ideas? Here are a few from previous years: lunch tote, water bottle, pedometer, baking stone, soup tureen, steamer insert, countertop compost crock, gift baskets with whole grains, and herb seeds and pots.
Share your ideas for healthy gifts. Happy holidays!
- Jennifer

Italian wines. I can't say I'm a fountain of knowledge on the subject, having taken my only trip to Italy with my family when I was 17 years old. I supposed I could reference my rough Italian wine education from my brief employment at The Olive Garden, but wait, I was a waitress there when I was 19-20, so I never actually had the opportunity to try the wine myself. Yeah, I guess you could say I'm kind of an expert when it comes Italian wines. Not. However, I've tried a lot of Italian varietals used from grapes grown here in California over the years; Oreana Winery makes an excellent Tuscan-style blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, known as "The Tilly". But in terms of wines straight from Italy, I usually pass that section in the wine store in favor of the California wines, an area I'm more familiar with. So it wasn't until this past weekend when my parents were visiting from New York, that the subject of Italian wines came up. Over drinks and tapas at Milk and Honey, with my friend Erica and my boyfriend Brian, my dad declared, "I'm not really a fan of Italian wines". Brian, who had just spent some time in Italy a few months prior, disagreed, insisting that my dad try one of the bottles he had shipped back from Italy. Enter the Fattoi Brunello Di Montalcino, a powerful, rich red Italian wine with notes of dark fruit and exotic spices.
Brian brought this wine to dinner at Trattoria Vittoria the next night, a restaurant I chose because of its simply prepared, delicious Italian fare. Everything I've ever ordered at Trattoria Vittoria has been fresh and unassuming, not overdone with massive amounts of garlic and cream sauce, which I suppose I am still a little bit fearful of after working at The Olive Garden for as long as I did. With that said, I had a feeling a meal here would be the perfect complement for tasting a new Italian wine. I have to say, I never fail to have the best time at Trattoria Vittoria, it's just so cozy and cute inside! With a lively atmosphere and warm hostesses and servers, you can't help but feel like you're dining in some "off the beaten path" hidden gem in Italy. This restaurant is quickly becoming one of my favorites in Santa Barbara.
After opening the bottle and having our first taste, my mom announced that she could just drink this wine on its own! It would be easy to do, since after a few sips I kept finding something different about this wine. It's very complex; you won't be bored by this bottle, it's truly not your average Italian wine you find at the shelf at Ralph's. But, I do think that almost any wine can be enhanced by the right food pairing. We started off with the Speck e Formaggi Misti, which is wood-smoked prosciutto served with imported Italian cheeses. So amazing with this wine! There was something about the saltiness of the prosciutto that really brought out the flavors of the wine, oh I could have it every night! My family is really big into creating "cheese plates" as hors d'ourves with wine before dinner, and if I could ship a bottle of this back from Italy for every family occasion I'd be a happy girl. Moving on, for our entrée I took my friend Erica's suggestion of the Ravioli di Came con Salsa Aurora, which translates to ravioli stuffed with prime rib meat in a pink cream and tomato sauce. In other words, prime rib ravioli. Ridiculous, in the best way. I'm not a huge red meat-eater, but I'm telling you I would order this dish every day of the week, except for the fact that there are so many other amazing menu items to try.
At the end of the meal, Brian asked my dad if he had changed his mind on Italian wines, although I think it was pretty obvious that he had. The only problem was that there wasn't enough wine for our leftovers the next day! Who knew that my parents had to fly from New York to California for a truly Italian experience? I highly recommend shipping this bottle from Italy, taking it to Trattoria Vittoria, and ordering the prime rib ravioli. You won't be disappointed!

"Visit to The Gunnery"
Hotel was not quite in the area expected. Very old but room was very clean and comfortable. Within walking distance to restaurants. Only 9 miles from destination.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Helped make a sad trip better"
We had to travel to New Milford for the funeral of a family member who had passed away suddenly. Heritage Inn is located right at the edge of the N.M. "Green" and was close to the church and the restaurant where the post-funeral luncheon was held. It is small -- 30 rooms -- and very rustic, a converted tobacco warehouse with a lot of the original fixtures […] in the common areas. The rooms were HUGE; besides the bed area, there was a sitting area with 2 loveseats and a coffee table. However, there was no lighting for this area so couldn't really use it for much in the evening. There are no real "services" (food, wake-up call, etc.) and we never could figure out how to re-set the time on the clock radio. But it had much more character than a chain hotel, and we were very pleased with our stay. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ

Good location. Fine stay.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Good Location"
For a quick business trip, this is a great stop. Good restaurant selection, and easy access to local highways.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Walking Distance to Most of Central New Milford"
If you're looking for a place with a bit of interesting history and some original woodwork and tools still on-site, then this is the place for you. The building was constructed in 1870 and is located in a wonderful location if you intend to walk around old, central New Milford. The adjacent train tracks are not really in use (we saw no trains over 3 […] days); however, the road on which the hotel sits does get a fair bit of traffic, including a number of trucks (but, we couldn't hear any of it from our room). もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ

"Simple inn perfect for short stays"
Sure the inn is dated and doesn't have the modern conveniences of a big chain hotel, but I wouldn't expect it of a little historical inn. Perfect for a short business tripHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Convenient location"
Accommodations were quite nice. Perfect for one night. Breakfast did not look appealing so we ate out locally.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Don't stay here"
I made my reservation through Hotels.com on June 12. When I printed out my confirmation, I noticed that the cancellation policy would allow me to cancel through June 10!!!!! Unfortunately we had a major problem the morning of the day we were due to check in. My wife fell and broke her leg and surgery was required. While we were waiting in the ER, I […] made a call to the hotel to inform them what had happened and that we would not be staying there. Whoever answered the phone just coldly said, "OK" and hung up. So I'm out $113 and change. Be careful when making reservations at this place. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Historical building near the center of town"
Very nice accommodations. Staff was great and very helpful. Could use a little updating, but excellent deal for the money. Was an old tobacco factory, had a good continental breakfast.Expedia ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Nifty History"
Stay here if you're really excited to stay in an old tobacco barn that's been converted into a hotel. Don't stay here if you expect all the furniture to be new. It was clean, but the carpet and upholstery was shabby. There was a funky smell in the hall way, but the room was fine. The location was great.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Could have been better"
I got to the inn at 11:30 on a Saturday night. Following instructions at the front desk, I had to knock on someone's door, get them out of bed, and get dressed to register me and give me my key. Very awkward. I apologized a few times, but the person I disturbed did not recognize my apology and was clearly unhappy to have been disturbed. The room was […] spacious and the bed was okay--typical slanted hotel mattress, but reasonably comfortable. The bathroom was clean, but one of the two light bulbs was burned out. One of the two towels smelled like turpentine. The other didn't, but was extremely dingy. The carpet in the room was stained like most inexpensive hotel carpets. The breakfast was really just a continental breakfast. No juice. Coffee, rolls, and cereal. もっと読むExpedia ゲストの適正な口コミ

Great for the price. No frills but clean and very close to restaurants and bars. Would recommend for 1 night.Expedia ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Disappointed in the checkin process"
This may be a specific issue with one person at the hotel. After I made the reservation through expedia, I went to checkin at the hotel. The gentlemen told me that the hotel was full, and I did not have a room, and I must be mistaken. After I went back and forth 2 more times, I convinced him to call his manager, as he was not willing to check on my […] reservation with expedia. I was finally given a room, after he spoke with the manager, and the next day confirmed that there was no mistake, I always had booked the room. It was frustrating that check-in did not want to show me my room, until I demanded a call to his manager. Hopefully, this was a one time situation. もっと読むExpedia ゲストの適正な口コミ

"OK for 1 night"
The best thing about it is a location: you don't even need to look for it - you just come to it on the main road if you drive thru New Milford. Because it's right in downtown, you have a good thing: a lot of places to eat in a range of 2 min. walk, and a bad thing: even on Sun morning it was noisy with the traffic going right by it. The hotel itself […] is a good place to sleep one night: the bathroom is clean, there is Wi-Fi in the room, the breakfast is included, and the bed-covers are rather nice, and again: once you step out - you're on the road. But for a longer stay it's a little too noisy and not that comfortable: no coffee-maker, the lighting is too dim, and there was only one chair - not enough for a family of three staying there. もっと読むExpedia ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Just OK"
Hotel was clean, but not charming, by any means. Breakfast was good. We thought it was a bit overpriced for the neighborhood and ambience.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Railroad Inn"
The Heritage Inn is located right next to a railroad line. Our room looked out on the tracks. While no trains came by, we heard cars going over the tracks all night. It is VERY close to a busy street in New Milford and not the greatest part of town. The room itself was quite nice and spacious, It was quaint with old oak beams. The breakfast was self-service […] and the food was the exact same on Sunday morning as it was Saturday morning. Next time I will plan ahead and stay closer to Kent. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Sunkigt skitigt hotell"
Bra läge men inte rent någonstans. Dålig frukost. Kan inte rekommender det till någon. Knappast värt de 800 kr vi betalade.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
