|The Game Story:
|MEDFORD - Junior Sean Kirwan (Boonton Township, NJ) scored two goals with an assist, and freshman goalie Patton Watkins (Chattanooga, TN) made 18 saves as the Tufts men's lacrosse team opened the defense of its 2010 national title with a 6-5 victory over Union College in the NCAA Championship second round on Saturday afternoon at Bello Field.
With the game tied 2-2 at the end of the first quarter, Tufts (16-2) out-scored Union 3-1 in the second and third quarters to take a 5-3 lead. The Dutchmen twice pulled within one goal in the fourth quarter. However, Tufts held on and advanced to the quarterfinals where they will play either Cortland or Stevens on Wednesday.
Union (13-5), making its first NCAA appearance, gave the Jumbos all they could handle. They were led by two goals from junior Ted McKenna (Westford, MA) and 19 saves from junior goalie Sean Aaron (Great Falls, VA).
Tufts scored a long-pole, man-down goal by senior co-captain Alec Bialosky (Moreland Hills, OH) to lead 1-0 early in the first. However, Union wasn't phased and tallied the next two to lead 2-1 on McKenna's first at 10:38 of the opening period. A man-up goal by Kirwan at 1:24 of the first tied the score at 2-2.
The Jumbos scored another man-down goal by sophomore Sam Diss (Ridgewood, NJ) at 6:01 of the second quarter, but again Union had a response with senior Derek Mayer's (Hopewell, NJ) goal a minute later to tie it at 3-3.
Senior midfielder Matt Witko (Chappaqua, NY) figured in the next two goals by Tufts that put the Jumbos ahead for good. He scored with 2:30 remaining until halftime to give the hosts a 4-3 lead at intermission. Then in the third quarter, he drove to the net and passed to Kirwan for a goal with one second remaining in the period for a 5-3 Tufts advantage.
The Dutchmen continued to fight back. Freshman Rob Santangelo (Rye, NY) scored a minute into the fourth quarter to pull the visitors within 5-4. Kirwan set up senior Ryan Molloy (Setauket, NY) for Tufts' sixth goal with 9:01 on the clock. With Tufts unable to increase its lead to three despite a few chances, McKenna's second of the game for Union had them within 6-5 at the 2:05 mark.
The Jumbos won the ensuing face-off, but turned the ball over. Union took two off-target shots before turning the ball over, and Tufts ran out the clock to get the win.
Both goalies played well as defense ruled the day. Watkins made seven of his 18 saves in the second quarter. Bialosky and Diss finished with four ground balls each, while freshman defenseman Dan Alles (Rockville Centre, NY) had three. The Jumbos did not allow a goal in seven man-advantage situations by Union.
For the Dutchmen, Aaron recorded six of his 19 saves in the second quarter. Mayer finished with a game-high six ground balls, while junior Matt Livingston (Concord, MA) had three. Santangelo had a goal and an assist in the game.
Union, focusing on controlling possession, had a 44-35 advantage in shots and edged Tufts 32-31 in ground balls. The Jumbos, behind junior Nick Rhoads (McLean, VA), won eight of the 14 face-offs.

Class of 1986
Halfback >>> 6-2, 215
(Notre Dame)
1957-1962, 1964-1966 Green Bay Packers
Paul Vernon Hornung ... Heisman Trophy winner, All-American at Notre Dame ... Bonus draft pick, 1957 ... Multi-talented clutch player, at best inside 20-yard line ... NFL Player of Year, 1960, 1961 ... Led NFL scorers three years with record 176 points in 1960 ... Career stats: 3,711 yards rushing, 130 receptions, 760 points ... Tallied record 19 points in 1961 NFL title game ... Played in two Pro Bowls ... Born December 23, 1935, in Louisville, Kentucky.
Even though the Green Bay Packers had quality players at almost every position during the "dynasty years" of the 1960s, many insist that Paul Hornung, the team's bonus draft pick in 1957, was the most important contributor to the Packers' successes.
Said to have a "nose for the end zone," Hornung scored 760 points in nine seasons on 62 touchdowns, 190 PATs and 66 field goals. As his record clearly shows, Paul did more than just score points. He gained 3,711 yards rushing and 1,480 yards on pass receptions.
In addition to his placekicking, he was a superb blocker and highly effective on the halfback option pass. Known as "The Golden Boy," Hornung was above all a leader to whom the Packers looked for the big plays in the big games.
He reached the zenith of his colorful NFL tenure with three exceptional seasons in 1959, 1960, and 1961. Paul led the NFL in scoring each year and, in 1960, he posted a record 176 points. The 1956 Heisman Trophy winner as a Notre Dame quarterback; Hornung was the NFL's Most Valuable Player in 1961. In the 1961 NFL Championship Game, Paul was on Christmas leave from the Army when he stunned the New York Giants with a record-smashing 19-point outburst as Green Bay won, 37-0.
Paul's pro career got off to a slow start as he divided his time between fullback and quarterback for two different head coaches. That changed, however, when Vince Lombardi was named coach and he made Hornung his starting halfback. Throughout his super-star career, Paul remained a dangerous threat to put points on the board.
In 1965, he scored five touchdowns against the Baltimore Colts and scored the clinching touchdown in the championship game against the Cleveland Browns.

POOL FAQs
Powerball pool members (left to right) Jerry Sumrall, Rene' Parham, Lyon Hebert, Ronny Parham, and Robert Burns
Enjoying Lunch at Parrain's Seafood in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on Friday, October 4, 2013
========>For How to JOIN POOL , Go to Question # 6 <============
1. When do you play
which game (Powerball vs. Mega Millions)?
First, we don't play EITHER game unless the jackpot is AT LEAST $70 million (for MM) or $100 million (for P/B). With that in mind, if the P/B jackpot isn't at least 50% more than MM's, we play the Mega Millions Game. The remainder of this page is devoted to how the P/B game works, but the play is similar for the preceding MM link.
2. How many members do
you presently have and how many chances does the pool take each drawing?
As of October 2015, we have 34 members, and each player purchases one (1) ticket per drawing, and each ticket is power-played, so each ticket costs $3. If the Powerball Jackpot reaches $225 million or more, players may purchase as many additional tickets as they desire at a cost of $2 each (we "ditch" the power-play feature for very large jackpots).
3. Does the pool take quick picks
(QPs) or hand-picked #s?
Quick picks.
4. How are pool winnings distributed?
On the master listing of tickets (see Question 5 Link C below), a player's name is located out to the right of EACH individual ticket. Once the powerball numbers are pulled on drawing nights, I immediately enter the winning #s on the master spreadsheet. No prize levels exist between $200 and $40,000, so here is how prize money is distributed:
Individual prizes of $200 or less go to the player whose name is to the right of the winning ticket. (see Question 5 Link E below).
Prizes of $40,000; $2 million; or the Jackpot are shared equally by all players if the Jackpot is LESS THAN $225 million. If the jackpot is $225 million or more, those three prize levels are shared IN DIRECT PROPORTION TO THE NUMBER OF TICKETS EACH PLAYER PURCHASES (see Question 5 Link B below).
5. How are results communicated to players?
Via email within about 15 minutes of the drawing! Also, a pre-drawing email goes out to all participants (here's a copy & paste):
Here are the applicable links for the next P/B drawing (if links appear unchanged from yesterday/today, click on your browser's REFRESH button):
1. Confirmation of participation::
3. Ticket Link : www.la-powerball.com/set_numbers.htm
4. Receipt link for proof of purchase: www.la-powerball.com/pb_receipt.pdf
5. Results Link (initial – i.e.
non-nationwide -- results posted @ approximately 10:15
p.m. drawing night):
Thanks for everyone's continued support!
Note: Link for established donor/beneficiary relationships (for deficit balances): www.la-powerball.com/donors.html
Note: Pay Pal Email Account to Add to Your Powerball Account: firstname.lastname@example.com OR firstname.lastname@example.com.
No fee if funding from bank account or Pay Pal balance. Fee if using debit or credit card = $0.30 + 3% of amount funded.
Note: Link to invite friends, relatives, co-workers to join the pool: www.la-powerball.com.
NOTE: Click on the following links to see the desired # of tickets for each game (P/B & MM) you've told me you wish to purchase when the jackpot is >= $225 million:
6. How do I become a member of the pool?
Simple. You merely communicate to me how many Mega Millions tickets you plan to purchase when that Jackpot is $225 million or more and mail
a check for 20 times that number of tickets (i.e. one ticket per drawing = $20, two = $40, three = $60, etc.). My mailing address is:
Robert Edwin Burns
4155 Essen Lane, Suite 228
Baton Rouge, LA 70809-2152
7. Do you have any other mechanism for payment into the
Yes. Roughly half our members have opted to take advantage of a PAY PAL payment option. If you wish to use the Pay Pal
option, Click Here for Details.
9. What happens if a player's credit balance goes negative?
Simple. Either that player MAY have a donor/beneficiary relationship under which his/her tickets are purchased. If not, tickets are NOT purchased (or only partially purchased until his/her balance is exhausted) for that player. The bottom line is that, at the time of ticket purchase, funds either need to be in the player's account or a donor needs to have pledged to use his/her balance to buy tickets for that player.
10. Who all have won so far?
To date, we've had the following lucky individual winners:
One (1) $250 winner Martin Cooper, Shawnee, KS
Five (5) $100 winners: Carroll Flowers (now deceased), Meadville, MS
Jerry Cox (now deceased), Sarah, MS
Marie Gilley, Baton Rouge, LA
Eric Gilley, Baton Rouge, LA
Lois Gwin, Metairie, LA

Subconsciously Active
Functional brain imaging shows that this angry face still activates a part of your brain that is concerned with fear, the amygdala. That is, at least some sector of your brain knows about the face—as it ought to because an angry male face in front of you might spell big trouble. This brain activity remains unconscious but may influence your behavior or generate a subtle feeling of unease.
Using this technique, psychologist Sheng He, with his student Yi Jiang and their colleagues at the University of Minnesota, made an intriguing discovery. They projected to one eye a photograph of a naked person on one side of the gaze and a scrambled version of the same image on the other side. They then hid both using continuous flash suppression. The paid volunteers who participated in the experiment never saw anything but flashes of color. The psychologists asked the volunteers to guess whether the naked person was in the left or the right part of the image. But they couldn't. Their guesses were no better than chance.
He and Jiang demonstrated that the observers attended to the naked picture but not to its scrambled counterpart. Even more interesting, straight males attended to pictures of naked women but were slightly repelled by pictures of naked men. Straight women were attracted to pictures of naked men without showing a consistent repulsion for pictures of naked women. Gay men behaved much like straight women; they unconsciously paid attention to the pictures of the naked men but not to those of women. What is disconcerting about this experiment is that this all took place outside the pale of consciousness. Because the observers never actually saw the naked images, they had no idea they were attracted or repelled by them. This experiment is scary because it seems as if people's sexual orientation could be inferred (statistically) from their unconscious attentional biases. An example of the unconscious mind at work. Freud would have loved it.
What this experiment teaches us is that the mind has many nooks and crannies; some—probably the minority—are consciously accessible, whereas most are hidden from introspection, lost in the vast catacombs of the brain. Yet they can powerfully influence your behavior, making you do things without knowing why. Continuous flash suppression—and other techniques that magicians and psychologists have invented to distract you so you do not see things while looking at them—in combination with functional brain imaging is a delicate tool to map the landscape of the visual unconscious.

And the particularly warm winter, which has attracted throngs of out-of-season visitors to the Jersey Shore, may extend the upward trend into the 2012 summer season, officials predict.
That dose of optimism, after relatively flat tourism numbers between 2008 and 2010, came in a keynote address by Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno at the three-day 2012 New Jersey Tourism Industry Association conference last week at the Golden Nugget.
The figures posted Thursday represent visitor expenditures just shy of the all-time state high of $39.5 billion in 2007, Guadagno said, even counting last year's pre-Labor Day weekend evacuation of millions of Shore tourists under the threat of Hurricane Irene. Shore tourism, including Atlantic City gaming, accounts for a significant portion of New Jersey's annual vacation dollars.
"Who can forget the governor making national headlines with 'Get the hell off the beach.' Forty-eight hours later we told them to 'get the hell back on the beach' because it was Labor Day weekend," Guadagno said.
She tempered her humorous remarks by recalling the day soon after taking office two years ago when she made the grim announcement that the state would cut more than $2 million in tourism promotion funding.
But all that has changed.
In a newly formed alliance with the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, which will now handle the state's tourism promotion, Guadagno promised Shore promoters "a seat at the table" for planning around events such as the 2014 Super Bowl at the Meadowlands in East Rutherford or Wrestlemania.
"Tourism is a critical economic engine for New Jersey. Clearly 2011 was a good year for New Jersey's tourism industry," Guadagno said. "By working together we can build on last year's success and strengthen our reputation as a premier travel destination."
The warm weather seems to have lent a hand to that work this winter.
The months leading up to summer traditionally are a quiet time at the Shore, when year-round residents and businesses spruce up for the coming season when they can amid sporadic weather.
This winter, with strings of sunny days and temperatures running about 20 degrees above average, preparations have been moving at a decidedly faster pace than usual, according to Diane F. Wieland, director of the Cape May County Tourism Department.
Of the three southern Shore counties, Cape May County harbors the largest number of rental properties and second homes in the state.
There are tens of thousands of them and at least 13,000 summer rental properties in Ocean City alone, she said.
"We've come to realize that our second-homeowner market is a really strong one that supports our region year-round," Wieland said. "These are people who come down and utilize their vacation home in the winter, bring friends with them, and really look for things to do when they get here."
Visitors who formerly came to the Shore only in the summer now make a weekend out of searching for a rental.
"They realize that in the winter, there are great restaurants, shopping areas, and activities for them," Wieland said.
Even weekdays proved profitable for some businesses -- such as the two-day event created when a dead fin whale washed ashore in January on the Seventh Street beach in Ocean City. The spot, adjacent to the Boardwalk, created large crowds during the sunny and warm Monday and Tuesday when officials worked to remove the huge carcass.
In the state's southernmost point of Cape May, merchants on the pedestrian Washington Street Mall reported double the usual foot traffic.
Susan Tischler, owner of the Kaleidoscope gift shop, said sales were up in February and so far in March by as much as 15 percent over last year at the same time.
John Cooke, a manager at the Victorian Motel, who also serves as president of the Chamber of Commerce of Greater Cape May, said overnight stays at his motel and elsewhere were up 10 to 15 percent over last winter.
In Cape May and elsewhere, by mid-February, the traditional time potential vacationers start touring rentals, more than half the stock of available homes was already gone.
For some businesses, the weather has meant nonstop work.
"The phone has been ringing off the hook with people wanting to get their boats in the water as early as possible this year," said Brian Hytner, business manager at the Sheltered Cove Marina in Tuckerton. "So we're really, really busy."
Sheltered Cove moved its annual open house up by about three weeks to March 24 to accommodate all the inquiries, Hytner said.
Besides special sales, the open house features safety classes, especially helpful to inexperienced boaters who plan to hit the high seas.
The state police issued a warning last week reminding boaters that while the ambient temperatures might be warmer than usual, the ocean is still quite chilly, hovering in the low 50s.
So far this year, state police haven't reported any cold-water-related deaths. In 2010 five fatal boating accidents occurred in New Jersey in March alone.
"We warn people that just because it's nice here on the mainland this time of the year, it's not a good idea to go out too far because the air temperature on the water is going to be significantly colder the farther you go out. And the water is still very cold," Hynter said.
Hytner's marina has had one minor incident involving a newbie boater who purchased a vessel at the Atlantic City boat show last month and -- against better advice -- wanted to immediately get out on the water.
"Nobody got hurt, but they quickly found out it was awfully cold out there and they panicked and had to be rescued," he said.

Alec Baldwin Shames Shia LaBeouf For Leaking Private Emails, Writer Finds Plagiarism Amusing!
And the Shia LaBeouf Orphans sh*tshow continues!
The now unemployed actor left Orphans to avoid fighting with Alec Baldwin, but their feud is still carrying on off the stage!
Alec is "very disappointed" with Shia after he tweeted private emails between him, director David O. Sullivan, Alec, and Tom Sturridge earlier in the week.
The cranky veteran actor said:
"Regarding of what people feel about the events that happened, you expect communications to be private, because everyone wants this process to be as collegial as possible. Everyone is very sad about what's happened."
No kidding! We'd be pissed too!
Well, we know Alec VERY MUCH values his privacy, but what is more surprising is writer Tom Chiarella's response to Shia plagiarizing his words in one of his emails.
The man that helped Shia explain his reasons for
being fired quitting his broadway debut isn't angry about the word thief, but actually "kind of flattered."
In a written response, Tom said:
"I can't make myself care too much about Shia LaBeouf plagiarizing my words in his letter to Alec Baldwin over some spat over some play. He loaded a few paragraphs of what I wrote in a 2009 issue of Esquire into his cannons, attached them to the phrase 'What I know of men' and then fired straight into the broadside of the HMS Baldwin. And with that, it seems, the battle between the two of them quelled. What can I say? Am I outraged? Of course not. It actually makes me happy that my words were some succor to the kid, that he found them wise enough (or high enough on the Google search, anyway) to foist them off as his own. Any writer wants to be read, remembered, considered. A late-night e-mail, double-spaced, vaguely bullet-pointed—this too is a kind of literary memory, I guess, especially when you leak it on Twitter to evince a magnanimous self."
Shia is lucky Tom has such a positive attitude, otherwise he could be in even deeper doodoo than he already is!
Let's just hope that Shia's replacement, Ben Foster, learns from his predecessor and sucks up to Alec right!

There will be one performance only on Monday, December 3, 2007, at 7:00pm.
With book and lyrics by Tony Award-nominated Bill Russell (Side Show) and music by Janet Hood, Elegies… is a celebration of lives lost to AIDS, as told through free-verse monologues with a blues, jazz and rock score. Elegies…will be directed by Kyle Hemingway and SiouxSanna Ramirez-Cruz of Emerson College, with music directed by Julia Scott Carey of the New England of Music.
Elegies…will feature the talents of several members of the Suffolk University community, including Visiting Assistant Professor of Communication and Journalism Chris Clemens, Office Coordinator for the Theatre Department Emma Putnam, College of Arts and Sciences Web Editor and Writer Shannon Rosa, and Director of the Performing Arts Office Kristin Baker. Several Suffolk University students will also be featured, including sophomores Huguette Diakabana and Stephanie Lepine, freshmen David Fritzson and Nicholas Panagiotou, and alumnus Matthew John Finn.
All proceeds from this one-night-only performance will benefit the AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts. Founded in 1983, AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts is a not-for-profit, community-based health organization whose mission is to stop the HIV/AIDS epidemic by preventing new infections and optimizing the health of those already infected. Through a cooperative and mutually supportive effort between over 70 staff and hundreds of volunteers, AIDS Action seeks to assist and constructively work with people of all cultures by providing services, education, advocacy and prevention.
AIDS Action accomplishes that mission by providing support services for people living with AIDS and HIV, educating the public and health professionals about how to prevent HIV transmission, and advocating for fair and effective AIDS policy at the city, state and federal levels. AIDS Action provides free, confidential services to 2,500 men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS.

Zenergy Center, a health and wellness center providing services related to holistic health, has opened in Monroe.
Karen Gladieux and Bernice Werner, both of Monroe, own the business that provides services and classes geared toward health and well-being of mind, body and spirit.
Zenergy Center is located at 986 S. Telegraph Rd. and can be reached at 735-4171. It is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
It offers a variety of services, such as yoga, tai chi, nutrition classes, massages, Reiki, hypnotherapy, counseling, and cranio-sacral therapy as well as free classes for cancer patients. It also displays and sells art in a gallery of local artists. It offers rental space for parties or seminars for up to 50 people.
Five practitioners offer a variety of services and classes. Mrs. Werner, a master hypnotist, retired from her practice at the Family Hypnosis Center after 30 years.
Among its yoga classes is an up-and-coming type of yoga called laughter yoga. Mrs. Gladieux, the certified instructor for the class, said laughter has psychological and physiological benefits.
"It's a new type of yoga but it's already huge," she said about the yoga that has more than 6,000 social laughter clubs in about 60 countries.
"You laugh for no reason and be silly. There's some stretching involved and deep breathing but nothing like an actual yoga class. Disabled persons or those in wheelchairs can participate."
She hopes the public will take advantage of the center's services that offer benefits to the mind and body.
"Our services treat stress, anxiety and depression. We offer healthy, natural ways to make you feel better," she said.
An open house is scheduled for Sept. 24. For more information, visit www.zenergycenter.com.

I was rolling with a couple of different people during the sparring portion of the class and afterwards and one of the things that struck me as I was rolling was the pronounced difference in attitude between myself and a lot of the other students.
I'm still getting my game back up to 100% after months of a certain level of negligence in judo, but I find that I still have a level of comfort under physical pressure. When someone is putting pressure on my legs trying to pass my guard, or pressuring me in side control, I don't panic.
With a lot of things that I've been working on, I've actually had a moment where I realized that its not helpful to panic. I don't think I ever had that in jiu-jitsu. It's one of those things. I've just slowly stopped being worried when I feel weight on top of me.
I don't know where that comes from, but it seems so fundamentally necessary to good (or even passable) jiu-jitsu, it's just more important to think about what's next. With effective use of really important positions in a lot of jiu-jitsu games, just thinking about what's next is important, regardless of the weight that's being placed on you.
I've spent a lot of time working on X-guard and deep half guard, and I'll probably get into those later in the week, this was just a thought from the workout last night.
I have a big problem with this. I can't handle pressure very well. Do you think one can learn to control himself or that it will just come to him?

If I Had A Flower Collage
Kathy White
Photograph - Photography--greeting Cards Or Notes Are Cheaper By The Dozen!
The history of Valentine's Day, legend says, originated during the third century in Rome. During this time, Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers, so he outlawed marriage for young men. A young priest named Valentine was furious with this injustice and defied Claudius by continuing to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. Claudius eventually discovered Valentine's actions and sentenced him to death.
During his time in jail, Valentine fell in love with his jailer's daughter, who visited him in prison. Before he was put to death, Valentine sent a letter to the girl and signed it, "From Your Valentine" � an expression we still use today.
Valentine was executed on February 14, 270 AD. Later, around 496 AD, Pope Gelasius declared Feb. 14 a day to honor Valentine, who by that time had become a saint.
The history of giving your loved one Valentine's Day flowers comes from the old-fashioned custom of sending floral bouquets to pass on non-verbal messages. Introduced in the 18th century by Charles II of Sweden, each flower had a specific meaning attached to it, making it possible to have an entire conversation using only flowers. Today, people continue to send flowers on special occasions or to express sentiments of love and admiration.
Also, the middle of February, or February 14th, which is the day observed for Valentine's Day, has long been a time for fertility festival celebrations, so it is no wonder Valentine's Day flowers are often the gift of choice around that time of year. For centuries, flowers have symbolized fertility, love, marriage, and romance.
My "If I Had a Flower Collage" is a tribute to the beautiful flowers of the world, the giving of flowers as a symbol of love, and a beautiful quote that I love. "If I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk in my garden forever." by Alfred Tennyson. That is a quote that could mean many things to many people....thinking of a current love, a past love, a loved one who has passed on, etc. The collage contains four photos of beautiful flowers I captured and enjoyed. I can see this as a classy framed piece, an artwork on metal, a stunning canvas with black sides, or a beautiful greeting card with a black backing to the card...the possibilities are yours.
The Fine Art America logo will NOT be on the finished artwork. And remember, greeting cards are cheaper in packs of 10 or 25.

The Unusuals: Pilot (series premiere)
(S01E01) ABC's quirky new crime procedural is not the brilliant blend of drama and absurd comedy the network might want it to be, but it does have a few good things going for it. First, there's the great cast. It's hard to pick a favorite among these talented TV vets, but series star Amber Tamblyn is genuine and beleiveable as Casey Shraeger, a detective working to weed out corruption in a kooky NYPD homicide unit, one of her first grown-up roles. Jeremy Renner, adding some Nathan Fillion-esque goofiness to his all-around good guy persona, is a good fit for Detective Jason Walsh, Tamblyn's possibly duplicitous partner.
I'm convinced that Lost's Harold Perrineau can do almost anything, even turn a one-note character like Detective Leo Banks, who's obsessed with the idea that he'll die at the age of 42, into something special. Perrineau didn't exactly get the best material here, but he and partner Adam Goldberg, playing a nervous depressive who is actually dying, managed to elevate their short scenes together.
Another thing The Unusuals has going for it is an intriguing mystery. The ep started with Casey getting recruited to the Second Precinct to fill the shoes of Det. Burt Kowalski, who was seemingly killed on the job. She teamed up with Walsh, Kowalski's former partner, to investigate the murder. The investigation lead to some, er, unusual findings, including Kowalski's burned down storage locker full of revealing case files on his co-workers.
Casey's new boss Sgt. Brown (Terry Kinney) revealed that he hired her to root out the corrupt cops in his department. We learned that some among this zany team of investigators are not who they say they are, and that they're all keeping big secrets. The final scene even cast suspicion on Walsh, the only male character who seemed sane enough to relate to Casey.
The mystery and strong performances might be enough to hook some viewers, but the show's odd mixture of absurdity and standard police drama isn't for everyone. The premiere was loaded with too much contrived quirkiness (a perp dressed as a hot dog, twin grandmas getting booked, a clueless detective who constantly refers to himself in the third person). Some of the gags hit (the odd dispatch calls were funny), but most of them seemed out of place, inorganic or, at worse, stolen from the last few years of Night Court.
And speaking of stealing, that copy machine/lie detector scene worked a lot better on The Wire.
This first episode moved along at a confident and rapid pace, but the tone was all over the place. It was diverting at best, artificial and labored at worst. It looks like ABC might have greenlit another oddball cop show that will likely get yanked before its mysteries are revealed.

i've been using my old asolo double boots this winter. they work great, and i love sleeping in the booties at night. however, they are very heavy, and i think i'm needing a larger size since my toes are pretty sore at the end of most days, so i would like to upgrade. i recently tried on some la sportiva trango extremes, and they were amazing, however they did not have a removable bootie, so they wont work for what i want.im wanting a boot with at least a heel groove for the heel lever on my sabertooth clip crampons, so i can use them while ice climbing or technical snow climbs. I really would like some double boots since i hate putting on cold boots in the winter. any suggestions?-Ted
Edited by Mtn_nut on 02/21/2011 23:09:46 MST.
I really like my Spantiks, still pretty heavy.Soreals see me through the winter in the city though
the plastic double boots. depending of the vintage, they will come with either a scarpa liner (older) or an intuition liner (newer). the intuition liner is warmer/better than the scarpa liner. if buying used, check how many times the liner has been baked.
so, how comfortable are the omegas with the intuition liner? I've never owned a boot with intuition liners, but i hear they are good.-Ted
if properly molded they fit like gloves. need to make sure that you use a toe-cap or facsimile there-of when molding. if you go to a shop to have it done and they say you don't need one don't belive them. also, they act like a vapor barrier so you won't need a pair of them and i'd (so does the manufacturer) recommend wearing them with a very thin sock, not a mountaineering sock.ps - the boots first have to fit properly - while intuition liners will help any boot fit better they will not fix a really bad fitting boot.
Edited by RICKO on 02/23/2011 14:53:59 MST.
I'm no expert, but re: "they act like a vapor barrier so you won't need a pair of them and i'd (so does the manufacturer) recommend wearing them with a very thin sock, not a mountaineering sock," isn't it possible to trap perspiration next to the foot with a VBL sock, add warmth with a big sock, and then it doesn't matter that the inner boot doesn't breathe since no perspiration is getting to the big sock?
i searched a bit, and you're right, the omegas are the lightest double boot. My current boots weigh in at 6.5 lbs for the pair! Also, most of the reviews said that the boot runs a bit narrow, so i think it'll be a good fit with my low volume, high arched feet.I looked around for a good deal on the omegas. i found them on closeout at rockandsnow.com, and i had moosejaw pricematch, so i got a new pair for $200 + around $27 in points with my high altitude bonus!I think i'll get them fitted professionally. I always wear my integral design vapor barriers since they also keep the bootie from getting any foot odor. my system is an injinji wool quarter sock, then the vapor liners, and then REI expedition weight socks, however with how warm these boots are suppose to be, i might switch to the standard REI or smartwool hiking socks if the expedition weight is too warm, and only use the expedition weight if im going to be standing in the cold for extended periods

"isn't it possible to trap perspiration next to the foot with a VBL sock..." sure, anything is possible (except for dinosaurs), but that would defeat the purpose of these boots and the beautiful intuition heat moldable liner. sure you could wear these boots just to keep your feet warm, but they are specifically desinged low volume, light weight technical boot that are known for their precision and control. the more layers you put between your foot and the shell the the less precision and control you have. that and you'd need to size the boot up for all the layers. the liners are closed cell foam, so no moisture is getting into them anyway. and intuition recommends wearing a thin sock, not a mountaineering sock. they also recommend you don't use a footbed unless you really need one and just let the liner mold to shape.
ted e. you don't realize the deal you got. rockandsnow are selling the old discontinued model with the scarpa liner, moosejaw is selling the new model. the closed cell foam liners are very easy to clean and don't get to smelling like other liners. you are now using 3-layers when you could be wearing just one.
so, are you saying that the intuition liners do not absorb any moisture? i would assume that they would absorb some moisture, and i tend to get stinky feet even after one day in fresh socks if my feet aren't able to breath. i just change out the liner socks every day.
the intuition liners do not absorb any moisture. they are made of a closed cell foam. treat them like you would a vapor barier sock. i wear my boots that have a closed cell foam liner with just a liner sock and have not had an issue. as with some vapor barrier socks, i think there's a little bit of breathing thru the stitching of the bootie.also, one of the ways to address a sweaty foot is with foot powder or aresol antipersperant.
i found my new boots waiting on the doorstep when i got back this week. I'm excited to take them climbing. I'm also dropping over half a pound off each foot!so, my greet superfeet insoles fit in them well, and my feet feel pretty good in them like that. what temp would you recommend heating my liners to to mold them?
how thick is the foam of these intuition inner bootees?
The spantiks are incredible for multiday cold mountaineering. They feel like a leather boot but have removable liner. They are very warm compared to a regular leather. But they have a removable bootie. Much better then a plastic in my opinion. Much better flexibility but still stiff for climbing and front pointing. But they are big bucks. I borrowed a pair. If I was doing very high altitude then I would spend the money.

Uncertainty abounds in Mets' outfield
PORT ST. LUCIE — The New York Mets did little to replace what they lost in the outfield this offseason.
Now, they are hoping a group of players — many who lack major league experience — can surpass expectations.
The Mets held their second full-squad workout Tuesday with seven outfielders on their current 40-man roster who bring a combined 434 games of major league experience in the outfield — less than the equivalent of three seasons.
Only Lucas Duda, who has played 175 games in the outfield but was demoted for a month last summer, has been penned into the lineup in left field.
The right and center field spots remain open thanks to the Mets' quiet offseason on the free agent market.
"This is about opportunity and you never know how someone's going to take advantage of opportunity," Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said.
Next to Duda, Kirk Nieuwenhuis and Collin Cowgill, a 26-year-old the Mets traded for this offseason, could platoon in center field, and either Marlon Byrd or some combination of Byrd, Mike Baxter, Andrew Brown and Jamie Hoffman will man right field.
Byrd, Brown and Hoffman all signed minor league deals this winter and are in camp as non-roster invitees.
"It's definitely an opportunity for young guys and anyone else," Duda said. "We've got a few veterans and young guys in the mix. We are pretty inexperienced as a whole, but that doesn't necessarily mean we aren't going to play hard or play well."
Though Duda is the only player manager Terry Collins has labeled as an everyday outfielder, the 27-year-old still has to show he belongs.
The Mets were willing to look past his defensive weakness to get his bat in the lineup last year, but after going 74-for-307 (.243 average) to start the season, the Mets demoted him to Triple-A in mid-July.
He came back a month later, but batted just .234 over 32 games in August and September.
Collins said he expects a better year for Duda offensively and defensively with the switch from right to left field, a position Duda said he is more comfortable playing.
"I think if he's comfortable he'll show us the offense we know he is capable of having," Collins said.
Byrd is the most experienced of the group, having played 11 seasons in the majors, and as recently as Friday, Collins gave him an endorsement for the job in right field.
However, the Mets need him to be the player he was in 2010, when he batted .293 for the Cubs. His production has declined since that All-Star season. He hit .210 in 47 games combined for the Cubs and the Boston Red Sox last year before he was released June 12.
Baxter, meanwhile, was on the rise last year until he suffered a series of injuries crashing into the left field wall on a catch to preserve Johan Santana's no-hitter in June. His .323 average dropped to .263 by season's end, but now healthy, he looks forward to a chance to compete for a spot.
"I think we've got a good group that's definitely excited about the opportunities to prove what they can do, and we're excited about that," Baxter said.
Baxter, Nieuwenhuis and Cowgill all bring less than a year's experience to the outfield, but Cowgill said the players don't feel they have to prove naysayers wrong.
"As a group we know what we can do," he said. "We don't have to prove anyone right or wrong, we just have to go out and play hard and win games. That's our goal, and I feel like this team is going to do that and the outfield is going to have a lot to do with that."

Work up to 185/115 and aim to get PERFECT reps. Reps that are not PERFECT do not count.
For either one, only increase weights once you can perform the lift(s) perfectly well. Consider this another skill session, just like the gymnastics one.
Let's start from the top…
From the three options, please select the skill(s) on which you need work. Please keep things slow and only as intense as they need to be. All of this moving should be deliberate and intentional…no unnecessary rushing. From the two lifts, please select the one that is most relevant to you and not the one you want to do the most. I know we all want to be Olympic Lifting powerhouses, but if lack of flexibility and experience will deter your experience, then please stick to the technically simpler (albeit not easier) complex.
As far as your paleo tip of the day goes, do not be afraid to eat. You have to overcome that fear / misunderstanding that if you eat too much you will gain weight. Keep your macronutrition in check and you can pretty much eat as much as you'd like*.
*Only true if you don't eat too much of one food,

I see both good and bad in these numbers for Apple.
The good news is they are doing very well at maintaining a high ASP while still growing. With the 5S in particular they've managed to slightly grow ASP from Q2 to Q3 this year, in a market that is clearly seeing pricing drops. This is impressive.
The bad news is obviously they are losing share which may contribute to them pricing lower in the future. The other thing I see that no one seems to have commented on is the growth of Windows. I don't think too many people expected this type of growth from Windows. It will be interesting to see how the industry as a whole reacts to this, including Apple. Windows seem to be showing strength in Europe (Italy in particular for some reason) and the US, but not in Asia and Latin America.
The one area I criticize Apple for is not getting into the phablet/large screen market sooner. I know many of you feel differently, but the data is compelling, this is where much of the growth in the high end of the market is.

What are you doing New Year's Eve? It's a question for the ages – one so popular there's even a song about it. And year after year, I typically have no idea what I am doing New Year's Eve!
Of all the celebrations throughout the year, New Year's Eve is my least favorite. Staying up late. Partying with friends and strangers. Feeling awful the next day. Could it be at 33 that I'm just too old for this? My aversion to the holiday has made me adept at planning unconventional ways to celebrate.
A few years ago, while 8 months pregnant and in no mood to "party" in public on New Year's Eve, Todd and I went grocery shopping for some fantastic steaks and made a delicious fancy dinner at home, complete with a homemade cheesecake with raspberry puree. In 2011, we got to enjoy campfire s'mores, fireworks and a rockin' balloon animal hat in Downtown Lancaster, and were home and warm before the clock struck midnight. Last year, we invited family over to enjoy a fondue feast – featuring cheese and chocolate courses. We finished the night with a Star Wars marathon.
If you're looking for some untraditional ways to ring in 2014 like me, try one of the following or let us know how you like to celebrate the New Year!
• Try Something New – Cook a meal that you've never made before – like Sushi, Fondue, or a homemade Chinese or Indian feast
• Meal of Favorites – Ask every family member or guest to tell you their favorite meal. Have a mix-mash dinner of everyone's favorites.
• Fancy at Home – Splurge on steak, lobster, crab cakes, snow crab legs – anything you wouldn't buy for a typical weeknight dinner.
• Collaborative Culinary Arts – Decorate a cake in the spirit of New Years' and slice it at midnight
• Cooking Competition – Pit two competitors against each other to crown a winning recipe. A judging panel is a must!
• Appetizer – Make an entire meal of only appetizers. This makes a great pairing with some activities below!
• Movie Marathon Night – Make it a theme night and watch all the Star Wars or Rocky movies. Or do a TV binge and schedule a Downton Abbey or House of Cards marathon.
• Game Night – Pick your favorite board game and set up a tournament to crown a winner at midnight.
• Living Room Slumber Party – Staying up until midnight is more fun with sleeping bags and pillows in an unconventional place. Count down in front of the TV right in the living room.
Out and About
• Lancaster, PA – Enjoy fireworks, music and the lowering of the rose downtown.
• Bethlehem, PA – Family friendly fun at PEEPSFEST™
• Hershey, PA – Free concert and Hershey Kiss Drop.
• Camden, NJ – New Year's Eve Splash at the Adventure Aquarium.
• Annapolis, MD – Dance under the stars with family-fun entertainment.

The career education movement has been one of the top priorities of the U.S. Office of Education since 1971 when the former Assistant Secretary of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, Dr. Sidney P. Marland, Jr., proposed the educational thrust. Few educational movements in this century have gained such instantaneous notoriety and created as much controversy as career education. Practically every major educational journal has either devoted a special issue or several articles to the topic, and major conferences involving most school disciplines have been conducted to study the concept. Millions of dollars have been expended to develop and field test viable career education models. State supervisors of career education have been employed, and a new position within the U.S. Office, Associate Commissioner for Career Education, has been established to provide national leadership for the movement.

Temples and beaches
Thailand quick tips
Top 10 destinations
As determined by reader views on Travelfish.org.
What not to miss
Explore Bangkok's temples by day and nightlife when the sun drops. Go hilltribe trekking in the mountainous north. Bask on one of the many islands in the south. Introduce your tastebuds to chilli and your limbs to Thai massage.
When to visit
The most popular time to go is between November and February. There is little rain and it isn't too hot. The southern islands are affected by different monsoon cycles, so be sure to check the weather before picking a coast. The hottest period is April and May.
Around 12% of Thais have Chinese heritage, but the Sino-Thai community is the best integrated in the region.
Jump to a destination
People say Thailand simply offers it all to travellers in a neat, great-value package -- whether you're an independent budget backpacker wanting to explore off the beaten track, or a well-heeled tourist looking for an exclusive slice of paradise.
Rough it while trekking through mist-shrouded mountains; be astounded by teeming aquatic life as you plunge into turquoise waters for a dip; or savour a romantic pool villa for a perfect luxury honeymoon -- you can do it all in the Land of Smiles.
Thailand has been on the international backpacker beat for decades now, and while backpackers are making the most of ever-increasing budget flights to Thailand, these days luxury travellers bolster the numbers too.
From the food and spas, to the temples and culture, Thailand is a land steeped in fascinating Buddhist history, catapulted into the present through fast-paced economic growth that kicked off in the 1960s.
It's true that more than 20 million tourists arrive here annually now, following the well-worn path of those before them. But there's a reason the crowds keep on coming.
The capital Bangkok offers glittering temples on the majestic Chao Phraya River, with shopping for both bargains and top-range designer items luring the masses as well.
It also plays home to the backpacking mecca of Khao San Road -- the epicentre of Southeast Asia's backpacking universe.
Take an elephant trek or hike to see ethnic minorities in cool, mountainous Chiang Mai, then take a flight down south to sip cocktails and sunbathe on the cococut-palm fringed southern islands of Phuket or Ko Samui.
Alternatively, enjoy the pulsing Full Moon Party on Ko Pha Ngan, or a spot of world-class diving off Ko Tao. History buffs will revel in Thailand's ancient capitals of Ayutthaya and Sukhothai, and enjoy exploring somewhat more obscure Khmer ruins dotted around the kingdom's north and northeast.
Popular side trips from Bangkok include Ko Samet, just a few hours away by road and boat, while Kanchanaburi is home to the famed Bridge Over the River Kwai, popular waterfalls and the controversial Tiger Temple. Families are heading to quiet Ko Lanta in greater numbers too, while Krabi remains a favourite for island hoppers.
Thailand's southwest coast --including Khao Lak and Ko Phi Phi -- has fully recovered from the 2004 Asian tsunami and flung open its rebuilt doors to tourists again.
And if you want to find your own patch of secluded beach unmarked on maps during your vacation, or a winding stretch of spectacular, empty mountain highway, with a bit of effort you certainly can.
Sip a Beer Chang or Singha as you watch a sunset over the meandering Mekong in Nong Khai, explore the spectacular national parks of Nan, meditate in a forest wat in Isan, rejuvenate at an upmarket spa in historical Hua Hin, or pick up some of the challenging Thai language at any number of schools -- the possibilities are limitless. Thailand's strife-torn Muslim-majority south remains off nearly all tourists' itineraries these days, a shame as it's a beautiful area unique culturally to the rest of the kingdom.
Aside from sights to see, Thailand's world-renowned fiery cuisine -- the perfect antidote to the steamy weather -- is an attraction in its own right. Savour delicious street food costing next-to-nothing or splurge on high-end royal cuisine, but no matter what you spend, it's always difficult to find a bad authentic Thai meal. Thailand's spas too are among the best in the world, and you can't beat wrapping up your day with a Thai massage on a white-sand beach.
Travelfish not only shows you Thailand's popular spots, but points you in the direction of its best-kept secrets and equips you with the knowledge you need -- from getting Thai visas to getting lost off the map -- to make up-to-the-minute decisions throughout your holiday in Thailand.

After getting so much inspiration from everybody else's I decided it was time to start my own diary!
I'm 30 in a few weeks and wishing I'd stuck to plan the first time round as I always planned to be 30 and skinny. I started CD last year with the dream of looking amazing on my wedding day (March 2013). I was thrilled with a 2 stone loss and felt great at 13 stone even though I was still overweight by quite a lot. I could have done better and will make so many excuses such as I went abroad for a my hen party, Christmas came along, my birthday was next and so on, but at the end of the day I will always regret not losing a larger amount.
So it's now December of the same year and I piled all of my weight back on plus an extra stone. The usual happened where I went straight back to old habits and I would even go as far to say I ate more food than before, because I'd missed it so much on CD.
Now is the time when I have to stop and take a big long look in the mirror and ask myself where I have gone because this blob is not the real me! As an always obese adult I wonder "am I brave enough to find out who's under the flab?"
So I'm on day 14 and feeling super motivated that this is it! This is the last time I will be bulging out of my red pyjamas looking like an even fatter version of santa that's eaten a few too many mice pies.
Second weigh in tomorrow and I'm hoping for a 4lb loss to make it a stone in 2 weeks. Fingers are tightly crossed!

Ohio Knitting Mills
From the very beginning, when we began talking with Steven Tatar about opening a temporary Ohio Knitting Mills retail store in our first floor conference space, our entire staff was excited. The Ohio Knitting Mills brand has a rich story to tell that we were excited to be part of the brand's next phase. We immediately started thinking about ways we could tell this incredible Cleveland-made design and retail story through a new lens. Our ultimate goal was to prove how we could create buzz and draw sales for a retail client on a tight budget.
The first step was to create a fresh look and perspective for the Ohio Knitting Mills pop-up shop.
Phenomenal posters, postcards, a fashion shoot and social media outreach were not enough though, we still needed something big that would garner media attention and help drive traffic to the store. Our solution? Create a massive sweater to cover a billboard in Downtown Cleveland.
Using original fabric that was knit at Ohio Knitting Mills in the 1970's but never turned into clothing, we worked with Steven and his team of stitchers to create a massive 24 foot sweater. The team worked for 4 days straight to make the giant knit masterpiece. Installation was the next challenge. For that we turned to our friends at Clear Channel.
Their team worked with ours over 3 hours to transform an unassuming billboard in the heart of the city into a massive sweater billboard. To our knowledge, it's the largest sweater in Cleveland's history, maybe the US….perhaps the world.
While the store is still in its first week being open, the initial results were impressive. The store's opening weekend was a huge success, with traffic and sales far exceeding expectations. Media coverage of the billboard installment and the store's opening is continuing to drive traffic and we are looking forward to the post-thanksgiving official kickoff of the holiday shopping season.
If you haven't had the chance, make sure your stop into the store and check out the incredible selection of virgin vintage knitwear. After all, it's sweater weather baby!
