His departure marks the end of four years in Seattle, where he flourished in the past two years catching passes from QB Russell Wilson.
Here's a look back at our choices for Tate's top 15 plays while he was a Seahawk– in no particular order. Believe us: There were quite a few highlights.

Modi in Mumbai: 10,000 'chaiwallas' to attend BJP rally on December 22
The BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, a former tea seller, may have as many as 10,000 tea sellers attending his election rally in Mumbai on December 22.
The BJP's Mumbai unit has invited tea vendors in their thousands to send a strong message to the Congress and the Samajwadi Party, which has attacking Modi's background.
"Around 10,000 tea vendors from the city will be invited to attend Modiji's rally. We will send invitations to them soon," a party functionary said on Wednesday evening.
Since he was named the party's prime ministerial nominee, Modi has been referring to his humble background as a tea vendor to strike a chord with the common people and to take on Nehru-Gandhi family.
"By inviting tea vendors, we will send out a message to Congress," the functionary said.
Apart from 5,000 private buses, the state unit has also booked 20-22 trains to ferry its workers from various parts of the state to attend the rally to be held at MMRDA grounds.
As many as 20,000 students from the city will also participate in the rally through BJP's Yuva Shakti campaign, a party leader said.
According to an office-bearer, state BJP leaders want to make the rally a big success by attracting huge crowds similar to Modi's Hunkar rally in Patna.
While Congress has accused Modi of playing to the gallery by referring to his humble background, senior party leader Digvijaya Singh recently said even a 'chaiwala' (tea vendor) can become prime minister of the country.
Recently, Samajwadi Party (SP) MP Naresh Agarwal created a flutter, saying "someone rising from a tea shop can never have a national perspective".

Botha was accused of striking Sharks No 8 Ryan Kankowski, but the disciplinary body ruled that he had merely pushed his opponent and had done so in front of the referee.
But while Botha can now concentrate on helping the Bulls reach the final for the second time in three seasons, Nel will have to deal with the double frustration of missing this weekend's game against the Kiwi champions and possibly missing out on selection to face the Lions.
One of the form centres in South Africa this season, Nel's strong defensive qualities are admired and feared in equal measure throughout the Super 14. His dangerous tackle on Sharks full back Stefan Terblanche earned him a yellow card in the game - and then a four week ban.
Even though the player pleaded not guilty to the charge, and his defence team argued strongly that the tackle on Terblanche was not dangerous, the Judicial Officer ruled that the tackle from Nel was dangerous.
His ban means he will be unable to play up to and including 13 June. He has the right to appeal against the suspension.

GREEN BAY - The Dental Associates clinic in Green Bay hosted "Give Kids a Smile Day" on Friday.
17 children with the Brown County PALS program received a full dental exam and any necessary treatments free of charge.
They also learned how to properly clean and care for their teeth.
"We want them also to understand that diet and nutrition really falls into a major role in dentistry, we want them to understand that water in between meals is the norm, and that's what they should be drinking," said pediatric dentist Clint Rau.
As part of Dental Health Month, dental assistants are traveling to 15 schools to teach students about the importance of dental health.

Utah Jazz: In Pacers, Gordon Hayward faces team he once idolized
On the night Gordon Hayward was drafted, his phone buzzed with a text message from his childhood hero, Reggie Miller. "It was like the coolest thing ever," the Indiana native says.
Since then, Hayward has crossed paths with other greats from the team he grew up rooting for. He's even played against the Dunking Dutchman, Rik Smits, in pickup games during his summers back home.
But four years into his NBA career, the awe is gone.
"It doesn't matter to me anymore," Hayward said of his hometown Pacers, who will bring their NBA-best 16-2 record to EnergySolutions Arena on Wednesday. "When they had Reggie and them, that's when I loved watching the Pacers. But now I'm a Jazz fan."
Nevertheless, the first-place Pacers still have players on their roster Hayward can look to as he tries to make the next leap in his career. Chief among them, Jazz coach Ty Corbin says, is Paul George.
"It takes a while to grow into [a leading role]," Corbin said. "He's a great example if Gordon's going to look at a guy that's kind of taken it step by step by step. Paul is one of the guys he can look at."
Drafted with consecutive picks Hayward at nine, George at 10 in the 2010 draft, the two swingmen will be forever linked. They've built up a friendship over the years, sharing an agent at one point and training together at times in Indianapolis, where Hayward lives in the offseason.
But while Hayward works to establish himself in the league, George has turned into one of the NBA's elite players. He was an All-Defensive Second Team selection last year, and he's top 10 in the league in steals (2.2 per game) in 2013.
His defensive rating (88.9) is nearly 20 points better than Hayward's (108.8).
"They're good all-around defensively. That's why they're so good," Hayward said. "If you get past the initial guy, you've got another guy waiting on you. So I think it's going to be key for us to make sure when we get into the paint we're looking to kick out and finding somebody who might have a better shot."
On the other end of the floor, George is scoring 24.9 points a night this season good for fourth-best in the league behind only Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James. He dropped a career-high 43 Monday night in a loss to Portland.
"Every year he seems to add something to his game," Corbin said. "⦠He's embracing that leadership role, from being a good player to a really good player and now to being a great player."
That process was accelerated some with injuries to Danny Granger.
"When Granger went down, his role increased and he did some things and they started trusting him," Corbin said. "Now he's one of the guys for them if not the guy."
It's a role Hayward was never afforded until this year, with the departure of Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap, the team's primary offensive options a season ago.
Hayward is averaging more than 30 minutes a game for the first time in his career something George did a season ago. Hayward's leading the Jazz in scoring at 16.9 points a game, and coming off a slump-busting, season-high 29-point performance against the Houston Rockets.
It's an effort Hayward and the Jazz hope carries over as they prepare for the NBA's best.
"You're amped up for every game," Hayward said, "but this is obviously a bigger one."

Dell killed Adamo earlier this year when its take on the luxury laptop didn't resonate with customers. Now it's back with a more moderate take on a more wallet-friendly thin notebook.
The former Motorola VP brought in to fix Dell's consumer strategy will leave the company in January amid yet another restructuring of the PC maker's business units.
The PC maker barely misses Wall Street expectations on revenue, but rebounding enterprise sales help bring in its highest earnings per share ever for the third quarter.
As its commercial sales have rebounded, Dell's consumer lineup has struggled. Now Dell is in the process of rolling out new branding and a more simplified product line for the holidays.
It's bigger than a phone, smaller than a tablet, and coming to the U.S. this summer. Here's a closer look at the new Android device.
First Palm. Could Motorola be next? The fact that it's using Google's Android instead of its own OS to build its smartphones could keep it out of the hands of acquirers.
Following its smartphone launch, Dell sets up a separate business group. Consumer group will be combined with small and medium business.
The first carriers for the Android-based phone will be China Mobile and Brazil's Claro. Details on the devices? Those will come later.
Michael Dell recruits another high-profile executive from outside the PC industry to play a role in the company's turnaround.
Michael Dell tells an audience in Tokyo it's "not unreasonable" to expect a phone and perhaps other smaller, connected devices from his company in the future.

Recently, a State Department official quietly announced that the "War on Terror" had officially come to an end, but Americans are still subject to all of its implications.
Terror is now a commonplace theme in American life, used by the ruling class in the decade following September 11, 2001, to strip citizens of liberty and basic Bill of Rights protections.
Americans expect to hear about the "threat of a terrorist attack" and they expect to see drills that involve military vehicles patrolling their communities, even though such obvious militarization of the state has not always been the norm in this country. It has become the norm in other nations throughout history, with tyrannical circumstances.
In the name of safety, societies will do almost anything, even to the detriment of the individuals within; thinkers through the ages have warned us against the very nature of our new "safer" military state:
- "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." — Benjamin Franklin's statement was used as a motto on the title page of An Historical Review of the Constitution and Government of Pennsylvania (1759).
- "In some ways she [Julia] was far more acute than Winston, and far less susceptible to Party propaganda. Once when he happened in some connexion to mention the war against Eurasia, she startled him by saying casually that in her opinion the war was not happening. The rocket bombs which fell daily on London were probably fired by the Government of Oceania itself, 'just to keep people frightened'. This was an idea that had literally never occurred to him." — George Orwell writes in his dystopian novel "1984."
- "Over-grown military establishments are under any form of government inauspicious to liberty, and are to be regarded as particularly hostile to republican liberty." — George Washington
- "This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears, he is a protector." — Plato
- "If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." — James Madison
- "Terrorism is the best political weapon, for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death." — Adolf Hitler
There are countless other quotations warning of the dangers of allowing domestic military control to become the rule of the state out of fear.
But fear of terror still reigns in the United States. With the warming spring and summer months it appears that Americans throughout the country will witness terror drills conducted by local military and law enforcement agencies.
In May, the United States will invite airborne troops from Russia to hold joint anti-terror drills in Colorado. It will be the first time that the Russian airborne forces have held exercises with the U.S. airborne forces on the U.S. territory.
From Business Insider:
It's worth noting the Russians will have access to U.S. military weapons training at the Army's Fort Carson — "Home of America's Best" — ahead of the scheduled May 24-31 drills. They'll also be trained to understand and operate hardware used by U.S. forces in airborne missions including "parachuting, operation planning, reconnaissance, assault operations and evacuations by helicopter."
If you live in Minnesota, don't be alarmed if you receive an empty pill bottle in your mailbox on May 6. It is only a test — "Operation Medicine Delivery" — wherein the State's Postal workers and law enforcement officials are practicing to deliver medicine to about 37,000 households in the event of an Anthrax attack. It's a strategy that's been studied nationally since 2004, but has not been tested full scale until now.
At Fort McClellan in Anniston, Ala., a government contractor is seeking people to act as role players in a "mass casualty exercise" on the base from May 8-13.
From an ad posted on Craigslist:
Military Mock simualted disaster role players
Government contractor is seeking individuals to act as role players to participate in a "mass casualty exercise" on the Ft McClellan military installation. Role players will participate in an exercise that will replicate civilians in the anniston area that have been injured during a disaster that is used in the scenario over 6 days. Role players will be medically treated during this exercise at numerous locations on Ft McClellan. The objective of this exercise is to train and assess medical units with regards to civilians that have been injured during a disaster.
It has been speculated by some highly respected intelligence officials that a fabricated crises will arise in the months leading up to the 2012 Presidential election. Some people believe the training exercises are extremely valuable and feel safer, others believe them to be propaganda efforts at best and, at worst, preparation for a false flag event.

Merging Lives, Loves and Lines, plus the Up-To-Date Numbers
Some pressing family issues and a bout with the flu have kept me from updating my statistics, but I spent this morning compiling the latest numbers for you. The Wire Fox Terrier, GCH CH AfterAll Painting the Sky, maintains an impressive lead over the field, with better than 26,500 points. The Miniature Pinscher, GCH CH Marlex Classic Red Glare, and the German Wirehaired Pointer, Mt View's Ripsnorter Silver Charm, are in a virtual tie at just over 20,000 points and the Portuguese Water Dog, GCH CH Claircreek Impression de Matisse. more
A funny thing happened on the way to writing this article. I read about GCh. Heywire 'N Highfield's Hey Look Me Over, when I was proofreading Billy Wheeler's Back Story for February 18 and went to the Heywire and Sure Shot website to double-check the spelling of her call name – 'Heyleigh.' As is typical, I found myself reading about the kennel and was impressed by the blend of conformation and fieldwork. Even after seeing Doug Ljungren's name as one of the kennel owners, it didn't dawn on me that he was the Doug Ljungren who is the vice president of performance and companion events for the American Kennel Club. more

Roman basilica honors contemporary martyrs
Catholic World News - July 18, 2012
The basilica of St. Bartholomew in Rome has amassed a collection of items paying tribute to the recent victims of anti-Christian violence, including Archbishop Oscar Romero of El Salvador; the Solidarity chaplain, Father Jerzy Popieluszko; and the Pakistani Catholic political leader Shahbaz Bhatti.
Responding to the challenge issued by Pope John Paul II in 1993 to honor the martyrs of our own days, the basilica has collected personal items to keep alive the memories of those who died for the faith. The building has sections honoring the victims of Communism, Nazism, and civil wars in Mexico and Spain.
Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant pilgrims have visited St. Bartholomew to pray and to see Bibles, vestments, and religious objects that belonged to Christian witnesses killed in Iraq, Somalia, and Algeria.

Organ and Oboe Recital to Benefit The Rivers Conservatory Scholarship Fund
Presented by The Rivers School Conservatory at Christ Episcopal Church, Needham
September 30, 2012
Organ and Oboe Recital to Benefit The Rivers Conservatory Scholarship Fund
Saturday, September 30, 2012, 7:00 p.m.
Christ Episcopal Church, 1132 Highland Avenue, Needham MA
David Tierney, Director of the Rivers School Conservatory, and oboist Andrew Price, will present an organ recital on Sunday, September 30, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. at Christ Episcopal Church in Needham, MA. The recital is free with a free-will offering to benefit the Rivers School Conservatory Scholarship Fund.
The concert spans across multiple musical eras, from the baroque music of J.S. Bach and Dietrich Buxteude, to the French romantic works of Cesar Franck and Henri Mulet. The program also includes contemporary works by two local composers - Robert Sirota's Celestial Winds, a New England premiere, and a world premiere of David Lasky's Suite for Organ and Oboe.
Robert Sirota and David Lasky are two of the commissioned composers for the American Guild of Organist's National Convention being held in Boston in 2014. Sirota is formerly the director of the BU School of Music and Peabody Conservatory, and is currently president of the Manhattan School of Music. Lasky is Music Director of St. Cecelia's Church in Leominster, MA and a prolific composer whose works for organ, ensembles with organ, and choir have been published by Concordia, Augsberg, Alfred and Knopf. He was also a music critic for the Worcester (MA) Telegraph.
An evening of music for organ and oboe is a rare treat, as is the spectacular organ according to Tierney, "The organ at Christ Church is a unique instrument, combining nearly sixty ranks of pipes with the equivalent of over one hundred ranks of digital sound. While it quite suitable for repertoire of all periods, it works particularly well with French romantic literature. It's great fun to play, to watch someone play and to listen to."
About the Artists:
David Tierney has served as Director of the Rivers School Conservatory for 19 years. He also conducts The Rivers Symphony Orchestra, and serves as Minister of Music at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Dedham. Prior to coming to Rivers in 1993, he taught at Lasell College, Boston College, UMass-Lowell, and Chapel Hill-Chauncy Hall School. His conducting positions have included the Waltham Philharmonic Orchestra and the New England Classical Singers. He received his BM in organ performance and his MM in conducting, both from the University of Massachusetts – Lowell. Oboist,
Andrew Price is principal oboist for the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra and regularly plays with the Boston Pops Orchestra and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He is also principal oboe of the Boston Landmarks Orchestra and has acted as principal oboe for the Boston Lyric Opera. From 1984 - 1988 Mr. Price was a substitute second oboe with the Atlanta Symphony. He is a graduate of Boston University and recently joined the faculty as Lecturer of oboe and teaches oboe for the BUTI Young Artists Orchestra program.

Even the consummate do-it-yourselfer sometimes needs to call on a professional to get the job done right. Here, interior and landscape designers & architects from our Garden Design Advisory Board tell you when and why going pro is more-than worth it.
* A good designer pays for themselves in money not spent on re-do's: poor infrastructure, failed plants, inefficient irrigation system, etc. They can capture economies in the design, installation, and maintenance. -Margie Grace
* Many landscape architects are capable and interested in designing custom site furnishings, such as built-in seating, tables, trellises, lighting and fountains. These are a few additional elements to consider in the design of a garden. -Jane Hansen
* A professional would have the practical knowledge to best deal with contractors, vendors and suppliers. Also, an experienced professional has an understanding of size and scale, and how things fit together. The added cost is well worth it to avoid costly mistakes. -David Kaplan
* Efficiency: both time and money. Professionals can streamline the design process, create a better long-term design solution, and lead clients to a more cost efficient construction process by knowing local contractors, costs of materials, as well as specifying appropriate, local materials. -Courtney McRickard
* Professionals can provide a fresh perspective and offer new options that you might never think of yourself. It's always to your benefit to be guided by someone who is not emotionally attached to the space, someone who can be objective and bring a wealth of knowledge and tested solutions to the table. -Janet Rosenberg
* We have access to furnishings from around the world and have the tools to turn our clients' most unique ideas a reality. We also have tremendous custom design capabilities, which are not necessarily always more expensive. -Claudia Juestel
* Many of us are as good at mixing cocktails for thirsty guests at a housewarming party as we are at designing the bars on which to do it. -Joel Robare
What's next? Read what our Board members say are the best questions to ask your designer/architect before starting a project.

The Tummy Trilogy: American Fried Alice, Let's Eat, Third Helpingsby Calvin Trillin
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In the 1970s, Calvin Trillin informed America that its most glorious food was not to be found at the pretentious restaurants he referred to generically as La Maison de la Casa House, Continental Cuisine. With three hilarious books over the next two decades—American Fried; Alice, Lets Eat; and Third Helpings—he established himself as, in Craig Claibornes phrase, "the Walt Whitman of American eats." Trillins three comic masterpieces are now available in what Trillin calls The Tummy Trilogy.
"For those of us who devoured Trillin's food stories like the author himself gulping down a plate of dirty rice, the appearance of this omnibus volume couldn't be more welcome....[T]he book offers a chance to reacquaint ourselves not only with the mouth-watering local foodstuffs Trillin lusts after...but also with the eccentric cast of characters who accompany him on his crusades." Bill Ott, Booklist
"Trillin is our funniest food writer. He writes with charm, freedom, and a rare respect for language." Seymour Britchkey, New York
"As Proust took the simple madeleine and with genius made it a glory of a book, so Trillin takes the hamburger, takes the chili dog, takes the pizza, and does as much, or more." Henry Mitchell, The Washington Post Book World
"Trillin is to food writing what Chaplin was to film acting." Business Week
"Marvelously funny and horrifyingly mouth-watering." Rolling Stone
In the 1970s, Calvin Trillin informed us that the most glorious food in an American city was not to be found at the pretentious rooftop restaurant he called La Maison de la Casa House, Continental Cuisine. With three hilarious books, he established himself as "our funniest food writer" and, in Craig Claiborne's phrase, "the Walt Whitman of American eats". Now the three books have been combined in what Trillin calls The Tummy Trilogy.

DSWD: Politicians taboo in 4Ps-A A +A
Friday, March 1, 2013
OFFICIALS of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) have assured no politicians are allowed to use or intervene in the implementation of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) for identified poor families.
DSWD Assistant Secretary for Operations Teodulo Romo Jr. said the program needs the protection of everyone and their office is currently evaluating the veracity of reports concerning 12 "epal" politicians in Western Visayas who claimed the pro-poor program as their own.
Romo said an existing memorandum from the Department of Interior and Local Government still stands not to use the pro-poor program for political ends.
Early reports showed that the epal politicians in the region sent letters to beneficiaries asking for their election help since they are responsible for the beneficiaries' enclosure in the 4Ps list.
These politicians are from the provinces of Iloilo, Aklan, Capiz, Negros Occidental and Guimaras.
DSWD Regional Director Evelyn Macapobre said politicians are not allowed to claim credit for the program, even during the cash distribution so that they will not use the activity for politicking.
Macapobre said there is an existing grievance redress system to evaluate any complaint or issue against the beneficiaries for non-compliance of conditions set. So far, 11,101 were already delisted in the region.
The reasons for delisting include non-compliance of conditions, the beneficiary has no longer a child zero to 17 years of age, and has a job with an income of P10,000 and above per month
The re-evaluation and reassessment of beneficiaries will be conducted in 2014 to determine the capability of listed beneficiaries.
Only the DSWD can delist the 4Ps or conditional cash transfer beneficiaries if they violate any of the conditions, while the local executives are only partners in the execution of the program and have no authority to delist the beneficiaries. (Lydia C. Pendon)

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Penn State has declined to renew athletic director Tim Curley's contract when it expires in June, the Associated Press reports. Curley has been on leave since last year when he was charged with perjury and failure to report a sex abuse allegation against former assistant football coach and convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky. Curley and former vice president Gary Schultz are slated to go on trial in January; both have denied the charges. Penn State has so far shelled out about $2 million in legal fees to defend Curley, Schultz and former president Graham Spanier, the wire service noted.

we'll get back to you within
How does Star Rentals charge for equipment?
Star Rentals has flexible, business-friendly policies. You only pay for the actual time you have any particular piece of equipment. Unlike other rental companies who charge in 1/2 day increments past 24 hours, we prorate all charges to the actual duration of your rental. For example, if your use goes past seven days on equipment charged at a 'weekly' rate, we will prorate your charges to the actual duration of your rental. This can frequently result in a lower daily amount to you, depending on the length of time beyond your 'week'.
Are there additional charges for Loss & Damage Waiver?
No-the price quoted is the price you pay. At Star Rentals, there are never any hidden charges for Loss & Damage Waiver, environmental or other fees. In most cases, our policy of not charging for these 'extras' will save you more than 10% off the total rental charge compared to other rental companies.
How long will it take to open an account?
We can get your account opened fast—in fact, most account applications are processed the same day, so you won't have to wait to start your project.
Can I manage my account online?
Yes, with our Star Rentals online account management tool, you get online access to your equipment rental and account information. Available to our customers 24 hours a day, seven days a week, it provides a convenient way to manage and track your account information.
How complicated are the invoices?
They are not complicated—we have designed accurate and easy-to-understand invoices and statements that you can also access online. Because we have a local presence, you can also give us a call if you have a question about any invoice or charge. We will be able to answer your questions today—not next week. [View sample invoice/statement (PDF)]
What happens if the equipment should require field maintenance on the job site?
With a team of shop mechanics who are among the best in the business, 99% of all downtime issues are resolved the same day. Sometimes even brand new equipment requires field maintenance. If that happens, our maintenance crew is dispatched within minutes of notification to your job site. If the equipment can't be repaired in the field, we will exchange your equipment with a similar unit quickly.

Boys Soccer Playoffs: Santa Paula reaches Div. 4 quarterfinals with 3-1 victory
Salgado nets 2 goals in win
VALENCIA — The Santa Paula High boys soccer team has T-shirts with "Unfinished Business" printed on them.
The Cardinals reached the quarterfinals of the CIF-Southern Section soccer playoffs last year. The goal is to advance farther this year.
Santa Paula is back in the quarterfinals of the Division 4 playoffs after a convincing 4-1 win over Hart at College of the Canyons on Wednesday.
Eric Salgado scored two goals and assisted on a third for Santa Paula (12-5-3). Jose Gomez and Ricky Zamarron scored in the second half.
The only goal Hart (15-6-3) scored was deflected
into the net by a Santa Paula player off a throw-in.
Salgado scored in 21st minute to give his team a 1-0 lead.
"Once we got a 1-0 lead, our team started believing," Santa Paula coach Brian Blevins said. "Once we all started believing we could do it, we couldn't lose."
Salgado stole the ball from Hart's Jonathan Rose and was left one-on-one with the Hart goalkeeper. Salgado shot the ball past Matt Ortiz for the first goal of the game.
"A lot of guys stepped up today," Blevins said. "(Salgado) played like a senior. We all jumped on his back and he carried us."
Salgado scored his second goal of the game in the 59th minute. Hart's Brayon Rodriguez was issued a yellow card for tackling Geovanni Quijas. On the ensuing free kick, Salgado found the ball in the middle of Hart defenders who were trying to clear it out of the goal box. Salgado turned a fired the ball into the goal to give Santa Paula a 2-0 lead.
"He definitely was in the right place at the right time," Blevins said. "Eric's a finisher. He saw an opportunity and he didn't want to spoil it. Our confidence was through the roof and we really wanted to win this game."
Santa Paula nearly let the game slip away in the final 10 minutes. Hart scored when a Santa Paula player tried to head the ball away from his goalkeeper off a throw-in. Instead, he knocked the ball into his team's own goal and Hart cut the lead in half, 2-1.
But Gomez gave Santa Paula another two-goal lead when he scored five minutes later. He fired a one-timer into the lower left corner of the goal. Salgado sent him a perfectly placed pass that Gomez caught in stride. Ortiz had no chance to stop it.
"After they scored the own goal ... I knew I had to get my team up," Gomez said. "I was telling them calm down, settle, to not panic. I knew we had to get another goal in. I guess I was in the right place at the right time. I shot the ball into the corner and it went in."
With a 3-1 lead, Santa Paula fended off an aggressive Hart team. Rose was issued his second yellow card and a red card in the final minutes of the game. Two Hart players received yellow cards in the game.
"The game got really intense and I am really proud of my guys," Blevins said. "It got really intense and a little chippy here and there. They stayed calm. They kept the ball on the ground and we possessed the ball very well. That's actually how we scored the third goal. That really was the dagger. That was the one I think took the wind out of their sails."
Zamarron scored the fourth goal for Santa Paula in injury time.

Companion forum thread to:Hiking the Santa Cruz Loop in Peru's Cordillera Blanca: Global Test Photo Essay
Edited by dtpaladino on 04/19/2011 12:47:23 MDT.
LOVE the lichen pic!
You guys get around to the most interesting placesSo, the Donkeys use the outhouse? How well trained
what packs are you guys using???
Ruben - You can find our initial gear list in our first article: The Global Test: One Gear List for Two Years and Five ContinentsTo answer your question: Kristin has a GoLite Jam2 (2008), womens medium. After 2 years of constant use, it has a few scratches but otherwise looks and performs like new. I have the Mountainsmith Ghost (2005). The pack was discontinued shortly after, but it is made of tough material, has a full front zip, a light frame, and comfortable padding. It weighs 2lbs 4oz.Jerry - the pack animals hung around the outhouses, but I don't know what they were looking for! Thank you all for the comments!
Edited by dannymilks on 04/20/2011 02:55:24 MDT.
Great pictures! Thanks for letting us follow around your adventures!
Nice pics Danny and Kristin! I especially like the jumping and the lichen pictures. I've often wondered if Andean trips like this one are one of the few places where our ultralight tarptents aren't a good choice. The weather can be brutal up there. And, we typically do those treks during fairly stable weather periods. What do you think? Are tarptents marginal in the Andes?
It's such fantastic timing to have your photo essays and trip journals on the heels of our family adventure to South America. We're flying to Quito this July 20th and we'll be in Peru come late Sept. We'll should also be in Patagonia come Nov/Dec. Returning, ultimately, to Ecuador June/July of 2012 for our return.I'm combing through resources for treks in Peru and Patagonia. Do you have any recommendations in Ecuador and also north of Patagonia along the Chilean or Argentine Andes?Beautiful, inspiring. Thanks for taking the time and effort to post these journals.cheers,-Michaelbtw... what stove/fuel options did you bring or consider? would a wood burner Tri-Ti, in addition to a multi-fuel/white gas stove, be worth the weight and effort?
Hey Michael,I spent quite a few years living, working and hiking in Latin America. In regards to trekking opportunities in Ecuador, I would recommend both the Cotopaxi Circuit and Cajas National Park. The latter is reminiscent of the Scottish Highlands - only 8000 ft. higher and without the ubiquitous pub at day's end. Can't have everything I guess! See the following link for trekking notes and photo galleries from my website: http://www.thehikinglife.com/category/ecuador/In regards to the northern parts of Patagonia, Lanin, Nahuel Huapi and Puyehue National Parks are all spectacular. Check the following links for details:http://www.thehikinglife.com/category/argentina/http://www.thehikinglife.com/category/chile/As to the question of stoves, multi-fuel or alcohol stoves are your best bets. Kerosene (queroseno), white gas (bencina blanca) and denatured alcohol (alcohol puro) can be found everywhere.Hope this helps. Have a fantastic trip.Cheers,Cam
Thanks for the info. Danny.
Cam, that's great. I took a peek at your site, it's well laid out and documents your travels fully. It's really helpful. I'll look closer and also contact you directly through the site.Thanks for hopping onto BPL briefly to comment and lend some great info.cheers,-Michael
Hi Jack,Thanks for the post. We often camped above 4000meters in the Cordillera Blanca and Cordillera Huayhuash, as well as other ranges in southern Peru and northern Bolivia. It was May and June, and your right, the weather was great. It is there winter, which is usually dry in the mountains, warm during the day and below freezing at night. I felt like our tarptent did a fine job in the those conditions, and we weren't taking many risks. However, if we were in a different season, then I too would consider going with something more robust. Where the tarptent was marginal was in Patagonia. The winds were constant, which means that dust came through our exposed mesh and coated our belongings inside the tent. The winds could be very strong, and the rain leaked through the sil-nylon on a few occasions. Southern Argentina (winds) and Chile (rain) are where a tarp tent is really testing your skill in tent craft, and your luck :)What did you use in South America?
Michael,Cam has some great ideas in his post about locations. Thanks for chiming in Cam!BPL has published a few photo essays about our travels, and will publish several more in the coming months. You can find more info about our other adventures on our travel blog. To answer your question about stoves, I'd respectfully disagree with Cam's comments above. A wood-burning stove would be virtually useless in the mountains as there are very few parks that allow you to burn wood. Additionally, it would be very difficult to find trees in Patagonia or the high Andes. Carrying two fuel burning stoves seems redundant. At the very least, go with one or the other. My suggestion, though, is to use a canister fuel stove. You can find canister fuel for $4-7 in any tourist town and it'll be light and easy to use. The only limitation is if you plan to take a lot of flights, then you'd have to buy a new canister at each new location. Long-distance buses are relatively comfortable, cheap and frequent. That's our preferred method.And yes, BPL is a fantastic community!
Hey Danny,I think you may have misread my comment in regards to stoves. To reiterate, the only two types of stoves I recommend for hiking in any part of the developing world are alcohol (best option - simple design & burns cleaner) and multi-fuel. I am in 100% agreement in regards to the non-suitability of wood burning stoves for such regions.In addition to flight travel, the other major problem with using canister stoves in the developing world is environmental. Unfortunately countries such as Peru and Bolivia do not have the means by which to recycle empty cartridges. Using canister stoves in these areas only exacerbates the already serious waste disposal issues which exist.Cheers,Cam
Stunning photos. How long were most of your backcountry trips (between bus rides)?
Hi Cam,You're absolutely right - I read the two posts and mashed them together in my response. I apologize.A simple alcohol stove would be great for one person. A wood burning stove would be not be very useful, though I suppose if it is part of the alcohol stove system that you already have (like the Tri-ti) then it would add flexibility without much weight. There are some places it would be legal.We preferred the canister stove for the two of us because we haven't found an alcohol setup that works well enough (yes, we've tried the Caldera Cone). Plus, if you puncture the canister when you're done, it is no longer dangerous and can be recycled. Erratic Rock is a guide company and hostel in Puerto Natales, Chile, near Torres del Paine. They have initiated a canister recycling program and hope to expand it throughout backpacker areas of Patagonia. Maybe other similar programs are started or could be started in the Peruvian Andes?
Hi Tom,Thanks for the note. Our backpacking trips were typically 3-7 days. The longer trips were in Torres del Paine for 10 days and Los Glaciares (Fitz Roy/El Chalten) for 9 days.
Thanks a lot guys,One more troll for advice on a nagging topic: sleeping temps. The girls both have 20F bags and Women's Thermarest Prolite Pads, they'll be OK. But I'm struggling with bringing my WM Summerlite 32F to cut a lot of weight and bulk. It can easily be buffed with the insulated layers but I'm just not sure if that will suffice. We'll be in Peru come Mid-Oct through Nov. And Patagonia in late Nov, Dec-Feb.cheers,-Michael
Hi Michael,I think you'll be fine with your bag. Kristin and I shared a 40 degree GoLite Feather, which was a zipperless hoodless bag that had been split down the back to make a two-person quilt. We had the TarpTent Double Rainbow as our shelter and the MontBell UL90 as our pads. The night time temps in the Peruvian Andes drop below freezing during May-August, which is their winter. You'll be there in the spring, and I wouldn't expect much freezing weather. I also hear that WM bags are conservatively rated. So, unless you feel that this is not true, or that you are a particularly cold sleeper, you'll be fine in Peru.In Patagonia, you may need to augment the bag by wearing your warm clothing in November. I suppose it'll also depend on your shelter. We had a tarptent, and so the winds came whipping through. Again, we didn't have a hooded sleeping bag, nor did we have down jackets (at the time), just our Montbell Thermawrap and some base layers. We were in Patagonia late November and early December. I don't think it dropped below freezing in those months.I hope this helps. Other BPL members may be able to add insight from their own experiences.
Michael - I agree with Danny, unless you are a "cold" sleeper you should be fine temperature wise with the WM Summerlite. One factor you may want to consider in regards to your choice of shelter and outer layers is that November coincides with the beginning of the rainy season in the Peruvian Andes. Although Feb-April is generally when the rains begin in earnest, it is not uncommon for some pretty nasty storms to roll in during the spring (note: this holds true more for the Huaraz region than it does for the Cuzco or Arequipa areas). December to February is ideal for Patagonia. If you have the time, consider heading further south to Tierra del Fuego, where there is some incredible hiking to be done around Ushuaia and Isla Navarino.Danny - Thanks for the link to "Erratic Rock." Great programme. Hopefully they follow through with their idea to expand to other parts of Patagonia. Did you encounter other such cannister recycling programmes during your time in Latin America? By the way, fantastic photos!Cheers,Cam

76ers Could Be Looking To Move Bynum
When the Philadelphia 76ers traded Andre Iguodala to acquire Andre Bynum, they knew what they were getting themselves into. Bynum is a massively talented player with all of the physical tools to be one of the best players in the league. They also knew that he has serious injury and maturity issues, which have been huge issues this season.
Bynum's knees have prevented him from playing all year, and people are beginning to wonder if he will be back on the court any time soon. He is a free agent after this season, and the 76ers took a risk acquiring him without assurance that he would re-sign with the team.
It looks like the 76ers might be starting to get a little nervous. Via Yahoo:
One NBA general manager said the Sixers have been making trade inquiries about adding a starting caliber center.
"They got to be a little panicked now," one GM said. "They could get a really interesting deal for him. I could see them doing that."
Could you imagine the 76ers dealing Andrew Bynum before he even plays a game for them?
It sounds ridiculous, but there are a lot of things going on here that could make it a possibility. He could leave in free agency, and the team might be looking to get a return on him. Or maybe they're reevaluating their decision to acquire him in the first place.

MIAMI (AP) — One swing ruined Nathan Eovaldi's chance to win, though not what he felt about his performance.
Eovaldi tied a career high with eight strikeouts in seven innings, but allowed a go-ahead, three-run homer to pinch-hitter Alexi Amarista as the San Diego Padres beat the Miami Marlins 4-2 on Sunday.
"You always take that last at-bat and I thought (I pitched) a great game," Eovaldi said. "He hit a good pitch. It was just that one at-bat. I felt good about the whole day."
Eovaldi (1-1) held the Padres scoreless through six before the home run that gave San Diego a 3-1 lead.
"I definitely didn't see that coming," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "Eovaldi pitched a great game and deserved better than that, but sometimes that's the way it goes."
The Marlins completed their opening homestand with a 5-2 record.
"The goal is to try to win every series and we were able to do that," Marlins third baseman Casey McGehee said. "We had a chance to go for a sweep today. We had our chances, but now we have to go on the road and try to keep the momentum going."
Amarista celebrated his 25th birthday with the pivotal homer.
"I was happy," Amarista said. "Instead of me getting gifts from my teammates, I gave a gift to the team. After all that we went through this series, to get a `W' the way we did and come through on my birthday is something I'm not going to forget."
Will Venable and Tommy Medica singled with one out in the seventh. Eovaldi was able to get Yasmani Grandal to ground out before Amarista came to the plate.
Batting for pitcher Ian Kennedy, Amarista drove the ball over the right-field wall on the ninth pitch of the at-bat for a 3-1 lead.
"He's a little guy, but he's got a little sock on the pull side," Padres manager Bud Black said.
Amarista, a center fielder, was held out of the starting lineup, but came through when he got his chance.
"Some guys were giving me a hard time, you always play a guy on his birthday," Black said. "We didn't start him, but he sort of showed me I guess."
Kennedy (1-1) was sharp, using his fastball and curveball and allowing one run and three hits in six innings. He struck out five before exiting in favor of Amarista.
"It's a good birthday gift for him," Kennedy said. "If he does that every single time, that's pretty awesome."
Four relievers then helped the Padres end a four-game losing streak, including two against the Marlins to begin the series. Huston Street pitched the ninth for his second save.
"No doubt it was a good win. You hate to leave on a loss, especially a sweep," Black said.
Miami got a run back in the bottom of the seventh with Jeff Baker's pinch-hit RBI double.
San Diego's Yonder Alonso had a sacrifice fly in the eighth to extend the lead to 4-2.
It was the first time this season San Diego had scored at least four runs in a game.
"No doubt we've got to get the bats going," Black said. "I've said that repeatedly over the last three to four days. You look at some of those averages and they're obviously a little low. We need those guys to start getting some hits."
Giancarlo Stanton pushed his RBI total to 12 in the fourth with a base hit to drive in Christian Yelich, who tripled to lead off the inning. Stanton already has a career-high RBI total for April.
NOTES: Stanton posted nine RBIs in April in each of the last three years. … It was the first career pinch-hit home run for Amarista. … Miami begins a three-game series at Washington on Tuesday, with RHP Henderson Alvarez (0-1, 9.00) facing LHP Gio Gonzalez (1-0, 1.50). . San Diego plays at Cleveland on Monday, with LHP Robbie Erlin (0-0, 0.00) taking the mound against RHP Corey Kluber (0-1, 13.50).

Hi everybody,
It's a quick note that we are laying off the ability to create free sites by invitation code. Earlier we introduced this feature to let paid customers share invite codes with anyone to create a free site on Wall.fm.
Almost a year passed, and there hasn't been much of this invitation activity. We think it's a good evidence that people are ready to pay great prices for real value. Here at Wall.fm, customers tend to sign up for free trials (and later upgrade, if necessary), rather than hunt for invites.
Speaking about customers, we continue to improve the platform for you, so stay tuned for some big news in January.
Happy holidays!

text: A close family member of mine had Psychosis and a Psychotic Break. It was triggered after they smoked marijuana a few times but NOT caused by smoking marijuana. It would have surfaced anyway the marijuana just aided in its awakening. My mom knows I smoke weed and has been researching weed and its correlation with Psychosis. She told me that today's marijuana is stronger than it used to be (Not that I didn't know that already) BUT she told me why it is and why it's worse for people than it used to be. To quote a page i found: "In the process of cultivating more potent strains of pot, growers have also been breeding out a little-known ingredient called cannabidiol that seems to buffer the effects of THC. So today's high-octane pot actually contains a double-whammy - more psychosis-producing THC, and less of the protective CBD or cannabidiol." So according to some of what I've been reading marijuana actually CAN cause, or at least help in the development of, Psychosis. I've been smoking for a while and Marijuana hasn't given me Psychosis (knock on wood). However, since I have a close relative that had a Psychotic Break (which doesn't raise my likelihood of getting it much) AND I smoke weed AND my brain is not yet fully developed (I'm under 20 and teens that smoke weed are at a higher risk for Psychosis and Schizophrenia) I'm a bit concerned. If anyone knows anything on this subject that'd be awesome. I'll post some links on Psychosis, Marijuana and their correaltion down below. I'd really appreciate it you guys could take a second and check out the links and reply. http://www.healthzone.ca/health/mindmood/article/833824--marijuana-can-send-a-brain-to-pot http://www.torontosun.com/2011/10/19/teens-who-smoke-pot-at-risk-for-psychosis http://www.cannabisandpsychosis.ca/index.php?id=25 http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/natureofthings/2010/downsideofhigh/ http://www.steadyhealth.com/Cannabis_doubles_chances_of_psychosis_t137389.html http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/294131-overview If anyone knows anything about Cannibidiol (CBD) I'd be interested in learning more about it too.

Rajnath Singh arrives in Dehradun to review natural disasters, meets Harish Rawat
Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh today arrived in Dehradun to review natural disasters in the city. During his visit he also met Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat.
Yesterday, 17 people were buried alive after landslides hit the Pauri Garhwal district of Uttarakhand, where torrential rainfall has been on for nearly weeks now.
Moreover, 20 persons were killed Dehradun and Haridwar when their houses were washed away due to landslides and floods.
Joint Secretary of the Disaster Management Board, Santosh Badoni said, "We first started the rescue operations in the sensitive areas. We have rescued 103 people from Beda village and sent them to Rishikesh. We are now working in Pauri to find any surviving villager."
"On state level we have information of the death of 22 people, of which 12 have died in Pauri, nine in Dehradun and one in Pithoragarh. The rescue operations cannot be stopped immediately. No alerts for heavy rains have been given either by us or by the Met department so far," he added.
However, former Uttarakhand Chief Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal criticised the current state government for not working effectively.
"The situation has ravaged us. Rajnath Singh has always been helpful to Uttarakhand. We have asked for his personal attention. We will help the CM. The state government will have to see to what level it can work. The central government will help but the execution of the proposals has to be done by the state government. But it is clear that the state government did not work efficiently," said Pokhriyal.
Earlier today, various parts of India including Uttar Pradesh's Bahraich district and Sitapur town, West Bengal's Cooch Behar district and Himachal's Haridwar city had also faced a flood like situation.
India experiences monsoon rains from June to September, which are vital for its agriculture. But the rains frequently affect millions of people - devastating crops, destroying homes and sparking outbreaks of diseases like diarrhea.

Weekend Update: Relaxation
This whole wedding thing has got me stressed. You would think going the destination route would be less stressful, but I'm afraid I'm someone who is simply prone to worry and stress. So, the better questions is how do I get the stress back under control? Well, I take a cue from my pups and catch some rays, take some naps, snuggle, watch some football…
And, I cook. I've emphasized meal prep on Sundays lately, and it makes for an excellent low-key activity to set the week up for success. Last week I made a giant batch of apple butter courtesy of my fav recipe plus 1 cup apple cider + 1 tsp. cinnamon + 1 tsp. nutmeg + dash of salt.
And, I make sure to the hit the gym with something exciting to do. That's why I joined the Best Body Bootcamp. So far I am loving it, and it's such a good deal if you are a self-motivator or like to do your own thang in the gym.

Having already sold 300 84-inch Ultra HD television sets, LG is now ready to sell a 55-inch model in South Korea.
According to Yonhap News and an LG press release, the company will begin shipping the 55-inch OLED HDTV next week.
It has actually received 100 pre-orders already. Not exactly a high number, but considerable for an expensive and new TV type like organic light emitting diodes.
With Samsung's injunction request against LG OLED now gone, more models are bound to appear as time goes by.
That said, LG hopes to increase its overall HDTV sales by 15% this year. OLED might just ride that momentum and become great in a shorter time than it took LED to replace lamp-based backlighting.
The price of the 55-inch LG OLED display is around $10,000 / 7,500 Euro.
