Great Shampoo and Affordable Too!!Another winner from Herbal Essences! I like this shampoo! I buy 2 in 1 shampoos for my husband -for some reason he feels the need to have conditioner too...he has short hair, but I pacify him :) I tried it in the shower last week and I rather liked it! I normally don't like the 2 in 1 shampoos because I don't feel that they do both jobs adequately, this one did the job just fine! I liked the smel...read morel (this is important to me, I have long hair), it cleaned my hair, it detangled my hair after I rinsed (without any problem) and I blew it dry with style. My hair held it's style until the next day. I didn't have any flyaways or static so I would recommend this shampoo/conditioner over other ones (I'm not naming names). Try it, you'll like it. — 9 years, 9 months agoMitcheySue | 24 reviews

Photo Flash: Brooklyn Theatre Arts High School Presents FOOTLOOSE
Vital Theatre Company, Linda Ames Key, Education Director and BROOKLYN THEATRE ARTS HIGH SCHOOL, Amy Murphy, Principal-partners in one of six small schools in the South Shore Educational Complex located in Canarsie, Brooklyn-are pleased to announce that Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz will cut the ribbon for the newly renovated South Shore Auditorium today, May 2nd at 9:00 am.
The ribbon cutting will be followed by a proclamation for the inaugural production, "Footloose" and a performance of the show at 10:00 am. The South Shore Educational Complex is located at 6565 Flatlands Avenue, Brooklyn and is the largest high school auditorium in New York City.
Check out photos of the cast below!
The auditorium renovation was made possible with funds from the Borough Presidents' office and included updates to the electrical system, 150 new theatrical lighting instruments, a new sound system, wireless microphones and structural renovation that will improve acoustics in the 750-seat auditorium. The renovation will also facilitate the creation of a technical theatre curriculum and will allow Brooklyn Theatre Arts students to study stage management, lighting, sound, costume and projection design through hands-on experiential classes in the auditorium.
The Brooklyn Theatre Arts spring musical "Footloose" is directed by Brooklyn Theatre Arts drama teacher Erica Giglio, choreographed by Vital Theatre Company teaching artist Harold Lewter, musical direction by Vital Theatre Company teaching artist Jad Bernardo, produced by Brooklyn Theatre Arts drama teacher Danielle Duffy and production managed by Dee Dee Katchen, will feature a cast of 36 students and a technical crew of 15 students who will perform for over 200 middle school students from Canarsie area schools.
Vital Theatre Company, founder and Lead Partner with Brooklyn Theatre Arts High School, facilitates student productions and offers four twelve-week residencies that integrate theatre arts into the core academic curriculum in order to fully engage students, while simultaneously building self esteem and teaching the skills necessary for creative expression.
Since its founding, Brooklyn Theatre Arts has been identified as an Arts Achieve School, part of a special initiative by the Department of Education's longitudinal study of the effects of arts learning. Nine Brooklyn Theatre Arts seniors in the first graduating class graduated in May of 2011 with a NYC Chancellor's Endorsed Diploma with a special designation in Theatre and 100 percent of Brooklyn Theatre Art's senior class applied to and were accepted into college and received over $400,000 in scholarships. In 2010, Brooklyn Theatre Arts Senior Jared Finley won the National August Wilson Monologue Competition and received a scholarship to Point Park Conservatory in Pittsburgh, PA, where he now attends and was recently featured in the film THE ST(ART) OF DREAMS as part of the Atlanta Film Festival. Brooklyn Theatre Arts students have been accepted into BAM's Brooklyn Reads, Art and Justice and Dance into the Future! Programs; The Kevin Spacey Foundation's Richard's Rampage; CAT Youth Theatre; Stella Adler's Shakespeare Program and Summer Training program; and Wingspan Arts' Summer Conservatory. Six 2012 Brooklyn Theatre Arts Seniors were finalists for the Posse Foundation Scholarship. Brooklyn Theatre Arts has been the recipient of funding from New York State Council on the Arts, Department of Cultural Affairs, Mary Duke Biddle Foundation, CAE "Parents as Arts Partners" Grant and NAMM Foundation/Disney's "The Music in You" grant to produce "High School Musical."
Other schools sharing the South Shore Educational Complex include Academy of Conservation (Eugene Mazzola, Principal), Brooklyn Bridge Academy (Max Jean Paul, Principal), Brooklyn Generations (Lydia Colon-Bomani, Principal), Victory Collegiate (Marcel Deans, Principal) and YABC/GED (Nancy Velez, Principal).
Vital Theatre Company, located on the upper West side of Manhattan, commissions four to five new musicals for children each season. Since its founding in 1999, Vital Theatre Company has been honored with two AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE by the Off Off Broadway Review and has received high acclaim from audiences and critics alike for being "a wonderful place for parents to introduce their kids to the glories of live theatre, done well and at modest prices." Now in its 13th season, the company is dedicated to producing entertaining and educational theatre for young audiences. To date, the company has presented 60 original productions for over 284,000 children and their families.

Nearly a month has passed since Houston solo Scott Douglass (pictured) and his wife boarded the Carnival Triumph, not knowing that an engine fire would strand the cruise ship and uncomfortably extend their 26th wedding anniversary celebration.
Despite the ruined vacation — and although he may have missed four or five real-estate assignments at work — Douglass says he won't file suit or join any of the class actions that others have filed. He thinks the suits are "premature," noting that federal courts impose disclosure requirements and strict deadlines.
Before filing, lawyers should know the facts, like: "What are my damages, what are my damages worth, who is responsible and is it recoverable," explains Douglass. He adds that the incident happened in international waters, and he thinks, "There was no clear indication there was anything defective with that ship."
Boarding the ship on Feb. 7, Douglass and his wife spent a couple of "restful" days enjoying the abundant food and spending time in the onboard casino, says Douglass. It was the first vacation the couple had taken independent of their three sons, who range in age from 19 to 22.
The trip turned sour on Feb. 10 when the fire erupted. Stranded onboard with no electricity until Feb. 14, the couple experienced many discomforts: Boredom, long lines for cold meals and waterlogged hallways.
"The biggest problem was the fact the toilets didn't flush," Douglass says. "In the first day, they handed out red bags. . . . You were supposed to do business in the red bag."
The ship's crew told passengers to urinate into shower drains, which Douglass says was a "mistake," because some cabins on the ship's exterior flooded interior cabins. Those unlucky passengers then slept outdoors, he adds. The Douglass's room had a balcony, which meant fresh air and light, he says.
On the bright side, something interesting happened without electricity.
"There was probably more interaction amongst the people on the cruise than you'd ever see on a normal cruise," explains Douglass. People became friends and shared things. "If you have nothing to do, people revert back to — you take away their communication devices — guess what they have to do? They have to talk to each other."

Rolling Cutout Cookies
When rolling out dough for cutout cookies, I sprinkle my work surface with confectioners' sugar instead of flour. It keeps the dough from getting too stiff and gives the cookies a sweeter flavor. I also dip the cookie cutters into the confectioners' sugar. —Karen Ann Bland, Gove, Kansas

Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome is an infectious disease characterized by flu-like symptoms that can progress rapidly to potentially life-threatening breathing problems.
Several types of hantaviruses can cause hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. They are carried by several types of rodents, particularly the deer mouse. You become infected primarily by breathing air infected with hantaviruses that are shed in rodent urine and droppings.
Because treatment options are limited, the best protection against hantavirus pulmonary syndrome is to avoid rodents and their habitats.

The unspeakable violence against Christians by Hindus in India continues. Kim wrote last week about the attack on Father Thomas Chellen and a nun in Orissa, India. Now we have this from the National Post (Canada):
Last Friday, Sept. 5, was the anniversary of Mother Teresa's death. Eleven years ago, Indians lined the streets to honour her state funeral procession. This year, her sisters, the Missionaries of Charity, encountered a rather different crowd on the anniversary.
Four sisters were attacked by about 20 Bajrang Dal (a Hindu nationalist youth movement) activists and forced off a train in Chhattisgarh, a province in central India. The small mob marched the sisters to the police station, chanting anti-Christian slogans, threatening to beat them up and accusing the sisters of kidnapping the children in their care.
A Hindu nationalist mob threatening violence against religious sisters who run orphanages? Sadly, that there were only threats must today be considered a blessing. . . .
Two weeks ago, a Hindu nationalist leader named Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati was killed in Orissa. Responsibility for the assassination was claimed by Maoists guerrillas. Despite that, the followers of Saraswati blamed Christians and went on a rampage.
At least a dozen people have been killed, including a young woman missionary burnt alive in an orphanage. (When the mob torched the building, she ran inside to try and rescue the children.) A priest at the same orphanage was locked in a room to suffer the same fate - though he escaped with grave injuries. In scenes of pure barbarism, a Catholic layman was hacked to pieces, a young nun was raped. Christian schools, churches and hospitals have been sacked.

....and we're thinking about naming her Bailey. Sure hope Homer pans out for the Reds for many years to come. Of course, I like the name Bailey for several reasons:
1. Homer Bailey - Reds phenom.
2. Bailey Quarters - From one of the best shows ever, WKRP.
3. George Bailey - From the classic "It's A Wonderful Life".
4. Bailey's Irish Cream - My favorite after dinner drink.

Adolescents whose favorite movie stars smoke on-screen are significantly more likely to be smokers themselves and to have a more accepting attitude toward smoking than adolescents who prefer non-smoking stars, according to a new study. A team from Dartmouth College and Dartmouth Medical School has published the results of their study linking teenage smoking behavior to that portrayed by popular movie stars in the March 2001 issue of Tobacco Control,a scientific journal devoted to smoking issues published by the British Medical Journal.
The research, coordinated by Jennifer J. Tickle of the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Dartmouth College, found that teens whose favorite stars smoked in two films during the period of the study were 1.5 times more likely to be smokers themselves or view smoking as socially acceptable, while those whose favorite stars smoked in three or more films were three times as likely to do so. And, the more a star portrayed smoking in a movie, the more likely the adolescent was to view smoking favorably. Among teens who had never smoked, those who chose stars who smoked in three or more films were 16 times as likely to express positive opinions about smoking than those who chose non-smoking characters.
"Adolescents look to movie stars as role models, and this research indicates that adolescent health behavior may be directly affected by movie star behavior," said Tickle. "Stars portray images that are desirable to teenagers, and when these stars smoke, adolescents may see that as integral to the image and may then take up the behavior."
Senior investigator Todd Heatherton, Associate Professor in Psychological and Brain Sciences at Dartmouth, added, "Although a causal link has yet to be shown, this research does suggest that how smoking is portrayed in movies may be an important factor in teenage smoking."
Almost two-thirds of the 43 movie stars in question used tobacco at least once on-screen during the period of the study. And four out of 10 portrayed smoking as an essential character trait in one or more films. Leonardo DiCaprio, Sharon Stone and John Travolta had the highest number of "smoker" roles, portraying smoking in four films over the period of the study.
Teenagers, aged 10 to 19, were surveyed in 1996 about their smoking habits and their attitudes to smoking. They were also asked to name their favorite movie star. Altogether, 632 students from five rural New England schools took part. Based on the survey answers, researchers carefully assessed the behavior of 43 actors and actresses in movies that were released between 1994 and 1996. Click here for more information. The study was funded by grants from the National Cancer Institute.
Dartmouth has television (satellite uplink) and radio (ISDN) studios available for domestic and international live and taped interviews. For more information, call 603-646-3661 or see our Radio, Television capability webpage.

This weekend we're gonna ride on past Sripriphai to try out Nusara or Chao Thai. And while I know neither place does the fried watercress salad, can people recommend dishes that each restaurant excels in? Is either focused on a particular region of Thailand? Would you choose one over the other, or would hitting one for a few dishes and then moving on to the other for a couple more be a good idea?
And most importantly, and a bit of a sidenote, which Indonesian restaurant in the area has the best avocado and chocolate milkshakes?

RUSKIN — Jesuit and Steinbrenner cruised to easy victories in Thursday night's semifinals at Lennard to set up a rematch of last season's Class 4A, District 9 title. Jesuit (23-4) is gunning for its sixth straight district title and 27th overall.
Steinbrenner got a hat trick from Connor Fleming in a 5-0 win over the host Longhorns after Jesuit defeated Strawberry Crest 4-1.
"My teammates were looking for me tonight, I guess," said Fleming, who has 11 goals thanks to his first hat trick of the season.
The Warriors (15-3-2) took a 1-0 lead on Blake Wilson's goal in the eighth minute. Wilson, a freshman midfielder making his first start of the season, banked in a close-range shot off the crossbar after taking a crossing pass from Oliver Ortiz.
Fleming got the next three goals, banking in a rebound off a save by Lennard goalkeeper Daniel Garren, scoring on a penalty kick and converting a pass from Logan Siben. Gabe Villar redirected a centering feed from Derek Gebhard to account for the final margin.
"We really played well tonight," Steinbrenner coach Chad Ebright said. "We really put it together for a full 80 minutes."
In the first game, Brett Durrance scored twice in the first half to stake Jesuit to a 2-0 lead. He converted a pass from Chase Goodwin in the 13th minute and scored off a pass from Christopher Conlon in the 27th. In the second half, Austin Jurado set up goals by Goodwin and Joel Gutierrez.
"We gave up a goal late, but the players maintained their level of pressure," Jesuit coach Bob Bauman said.

Sometimes a different vantage point can make a world of difference.
For most of his young life, Conner Krizancic played quarterback in the Mentor youth and junior high programs. As an athletic, heady player with a knack for making big plays, Krizancic read defenses and picked apart the weaknesses with precision.
Now a junior in the Mentor program, Krizancic is doing the same reading and dismantling. The only difference is that the 6-foot-2, 190-pound junior is doing it as a receiver for Coach Steve Trivisonno's Cardinals.
Heading into Friday's game against visiting Solon, Krizancic is one of the Cardinals' most explosive and productive players.
A big part of his success, Trivisonno said, is Krizancic sees what other receivers might not -- the vantage point of the quarterback, a position at which he used to flourish.
"That's a nice part about him being a quarterback growing up," Trivisonno said. "He has that ability to do a little bit of everything. He's a special player. He's a Division I football player and I'm glad he's on my side."
Krizancic didn't make the move to receiver until last season, moving over to the T-receiver position in Mentor's spread offense with All-Ohioan Mitch Trubisky in charge of the reins of Mentor's vaunted offense.
The transition was a smooth one. Krizancic's sophomore year produced 549 yards receiving and 12 touchdowns. Those numbers are about to fall.
Through six games this year, he leads Mentor in scoring with 11 touchdowns. He is tops on the team in receiving with 31 receptions for 489 yards and seven touchdowns and has run for 191 yards (with an 8.7 average) with four scores.
"He's a matchup nightmare," fellow receiver Brandon Fritts said. "He's a big kid and has a lot of speed. You really need to keep an eye on him because he can do everything."
As a quarterback, Krizancic had pinpoint accuracy. Speed and athleticism have never been a problem, either.
In Mentor's offense now, Krizancic produces both as a receiver and as a running threat. He can line up in the slot and slice through defenses with his route-running ability, but he can also go in motion and take handoffs from Trubisky for big gainers.
"It wasn't much different," Krizancic said of his move from quarterback to receiver. "I'm always reading what the D-end or linebacker is doing so I know what I'm going to do once I get the ball."
Not much different than when he was a quarterback. Just a different vantage point.
Krizancic smiled and said he misses playing quarterback at times, but granted, "Mitch is the quarterback and he is doing all right."
Trubisky enters Friday's game with 1,485 yards passing and 17 touchdowns.
"He thinks he can (play quarterback), but he can't anymore," Trubisky said jokingly.
Krizancic's emergence as an inside receiver gives Mentor another tough weapon for opposing defenses to deal with, along with Trubisky and 6-4 outside receiver Brandon Fritts.
Fritts pointed out the entire offensive unit, from the line to the other receivers in the Mentor offense, are what make the Cardinals tick. Trivisonno said the team's three primary playmakers all play off each other.
"Obviously, when Mitch is on fire, his two wideouts are on fire," Trivisonno said. "They do a really good job of doing what they need to be successful."
Though Krizancic has another year-and-a-half of high school remaining, the college looks are already there. No offers have been extended yet, but the list of suitors is growing.
"Most of the MAC schools, Boston College, Iowa, Michigan State," Krizancic said. "And I'm going to Toledo on Saturday."
Krizancic hedged at naming someone after which he tailors his game on the gridiron, but when pressed further, he mentioned New England slot receiver Wes Welker.
Trivisonno said the same thing.
"He could be a safety (in college) if he wanted, but I think he's an inside receiver," Trivisonno said. "He's got great hands and a great ability to get after the ball. Look at the kid with the Patriots. He's made a lot of money doing that, and (Krizancic) is that kind of player."
All the talk of football and the future he has in the sport brings up an interesting question -- what about basketball?
The son of Mentor basketball coach Bob Krizancic is a standout in basketball and could have a future in that sport as well.
So what is Krizancic's favorite sport, and does he dad know?
"I think I've got to like football more," he said with a grin. "I think (Dad) knows."

'I do' or 'I owe': How to hold down the cost of a wedding
Posted June 1, 2016
Many marriages are meant to last a lifetime, while others believe their union will last an eternity.
But the trend of ever more opulent weddings could mean it will take a good portion of that time to pay off the cost of the celebration.
As of 2015, couples spent an average of $32,641 on their wedding, a $1,408 jump from the prior year, according to a survey of 18,000 couples by The Knot. The biggest cash culprits were the venue — an average cost of $14,788 — followed by the engagement ring ($5,871) and musical entertainment ($3,833).
But saying "I do" doesn't necessarily mean a years long commitment — by the couple or the parents — to paying for that single event. There are some ways to hold down the price tag of getting hitched.
Location, location
Since it often checks in as the largest wedding expense, begin with choosing a venue. One cost-chopping idea is holding the ceremony and reception in the same spot or close by.
"That will cut down on your transportation costs for getting your guests from the ceremony to the reception and also cut down on time for vendors you pay by the hour," said Jessica Janik of The Invisible Bridesmaid, a bridal concierge company.
The single venue is often not an option, however, for those who hold the ceremony in a house of worship.
But even if the party is in a separate place, find a reception venue that bundles various services, such as catering, chairs, tables, silverware, glassware and table linens.
"If you opt for renting a space and having to bring everything in, you'll quickly start adding to your tally, and it's hard to eat cake without a fork," said Cheryl Reed of Angie's List.
Another cost-cutting trick is arranging for the largest tables you can find. That way, said Janik, you'll need fewer centerpieces, table numbers and tablecloths.
Don't overdo the food
No newlywed couple wants their friends and family to head home hungry. But, with a catering average of $273 per guest, according to The Knot survey, the first place to look for cutting costs is the cake.
Although an enormous, opulently decorated wedding cake may make for great photos, a more modestly sized cake won't likely sour any recollection of the big day.
"Half of my brides haven't even gotten around to cutting the cake during the ceremony because they were having too much fun on the dance floor," said Janik. "Have a smaller cake and try decorating it with silk ribbon or real flowers instead of having fondant designs or patterns on the cake."
Streamlining the overall menu can adequately feed your guests at a reasonable cost. Rather than a buffet, Alexa Lemley of Artisan Foodworks Catering suggests serving one entrée with various sides. "Go for quality over quantity," she said, by also cutting down on expensive appetizers and late-night snacks.
If alcohol is served, provide a "signature" drink or two per person in lieu of an open bar.
Having a firm food budget can give you leverage when discussing costs with providers, added Houston wedding planner Chelsea Roy.
"Knowing how much money you have to spend gives you an honest answer about where your money needs to go," she said. "It also gives you the power to talk to your vendors and say 'This is how much I have to spend on this service, so can you show me what can be done with this budget?'"
Other ideas to consider
Besides the venue and food, wedding planners say there are other considerations that, taken together, that can add up to big savings:
- Invitations: "Doing it yourself is fairly simple with all the design programs available," said Reed.
- Programs: "Most guests at your wedding know the important people in the ceremony," said Janik. "Put your program on your wedding (web)site beforehand if you feel it necessary."
- Wedding date: Don't get married on a Saturday. Food and beverage minimums are considerably less on other days. Another idea is to have a morning wedding, as they tend to be less pricey. If planning a destination wedding, Wednesday or Thursday are the least costly.
- Guest favors: "Guests typically do not care about taking home a favor — in most cases they are thrown away at the end of the night," said Reed. "Instead, donate the dollars you would spend on favors to a charitable organization."
- Wedding planners: They may save money in the long run as many planners can wrangle discounts from vendors and other services.
- Guest list: "I often have couples who want a dream wedding with a small budget. The most definitive answer I can give them to having that dream wedding is to cut the guest list," said Janik. "It comes back to knowing your budget and choosing between the number of people at the party versus the experience those people are going to have when they go."

Seth MacFarlane is Charlie Sheen's roast master
Finally, the latest news in the Charlie Sheen saga is revealed: Who will be the emcee at the actor's Comedy Central roast? Professional jag Seth MacFarlane, that's who. This may be the douchiest gathering in all of entertainment history.
"I'm very excited to work with Comedy Central again on the roast," the Family Guy creator told Entertainment Weekly. "Charlie is a true icon with a talent that is strong and pure and concentrated into small crystals which can be smoked or eaten."
We're kidding, of course, because MacFarlane is perhaps the perfect choice as roast master for Sheen. Who else can turn crude behavior into cheap laughs before everyone finally realizes all the jokes are the same but keep watching because nothing else is on better than Seth?

CARTHAGE, Mo. (AP) — An iconic Route 66 motel in southwest Missouri is scheduled to reopen this week.
Five rooms at the Boots Motel reopen Tuesday to coincide with a travel and tourism rally marking the start of summer tourism. The Joplin Globe reports (http://bit.ly/IC0ktv ) new owners Deborah Harvey and Priscilla Bledsaw bought the Carthage motel last year after the bank foreclosed on it.
Renovations are still under way on the part of the building built in 1947. Work will then shift to the original section built in 1939. The owners wanted to open early for the travel rally.
The five rooms are booked for Tuesday, with a first-night room rate of $2.50, the same as when the motel opened. After that, rates go to $66 for one-bed units and $71 for two beds.

Last week, my newly married friend emailed me a link to her wedding photos. Apart from viewing her online gallery of pics and noticing how happy she looks, I also noticed another significant change in her persona. Or rather, in her email address.
She had changed her name to take her husband's surname. And she'd already secured an email address with her new moniker.
Now, don't get me wrong. There's nothing wrong with taking your husband's surname. But I must admit that I was a little surprised. She's a successful business owner running a service-based organisation that relies heavily on her professional reputation. We'll call her Sue Smith.
A lot of Sue's work is the result of word-of-mouth or through people searching for her online. However, in one fell swoop, Sue Smith ceased to exist.
The Libby Lenton oblivion factor
It reminds me of a networking event I went to last year. I was chatting to someone and the topic moved on to Olympic swimming. The person I was talking to said: "And whatever happened to that Libby Lenton? She seemed to do so well in the Athens Olympics but we've hardly heard from her since."
I scratched my head (yes, literally) to try and figure out how this person could possibly not know that Libby was the golden girl at the more recent Beijing Olympics. She won two gold medals in the 100m butterfly and the 4 x 100m medley relay, and silver in 100m freestyle. Not too shabby.
But it finally dawned on me that he didn't realise she had changed her name to Libby Trickett. Despite Libby getting lots of press coverage, this guy genuinely thought Libby Trickett was a different person to Libby Lenton. When I quizzed him about this, he seemed genuinely shocked and simply said: "It just never occurred to me that someone like that would change her name."
Libby had worked hard to build her personal brand, only to pull the plug when she was gaining recognition. My friend Sue Smith could face the same sweep into oblivion.
My female friends are pretty much split 50:50 on the name changing issue. I've been surprised by some staunch feminists who immediately take on their husband's surname the minute they walk down the aisle. And others who simply refuse to consider a name change.
To be honest, I've never been attached to my name. In fact, for the first 35 or so years of my life, I couldn't wait to get rid of it. I mean really: Valerie Khoo. There was the constant spelling.
"That's K-H-O-O."
"No, I said K."
"K, not C."
It started in school and continued through my working life. I know I don't have the most complicated name in the world but I just never really bonded with it. So when it came to the idea of changing my name, I used to think: "Bring it on."
It wasn't that I was super keen on the idea of getting married. I just wanted a new name!
Then, in my early thirties, something happened to change all that. I had a fashion label called Taylor & Khoo. The Taylor is my BFF Kylie Taylor. We've been friends since we were five years old.
The business ran for over six years and we had a store in Pitt Street Mall in Sydney, with a huge sign where I saw my name emblazoned above the lunchtime crowds. I saw it hundreds of times a day on clothing labels, brochures, invoices and swing tags. And in the course of doing business, answering the phones and doing publicity, I found myself saying my name more times in one week than I had previously said in a decade.
In short, I got used to it. It kind of grew on me. And I didn't care so much about wanting to change it.
Putting away any "traditional" or "modern" philosophies about name-changing, what does it mean to you if you're a business owner?
When faced with the dilemma of whether to change your name or not, the reality is that there is one place you should consult. It's called Google. As Wired editor Chris Anderson famously said: "Your brand is not what you say it is, it's what Google says it is."
When my friend Sue changed her name after her wedding ceremony, seemingly at the speed of light, I wondered: now that I'm used to my own name, what would I do ? Or would I do a Libby Lenton and risk disappearing into oblivion while people got to know my new name?
Philosophy versus pragmatism
I have to admit, I don't think I'd change it. But not because I want to stand on a philosophical soapbox and bandy about terms like "stripping my identity" or "but that's who I am" or "I don't belong to someone else". I mean seriously, I know who I am and I don't need a particular name to give me a sense of worth.
My reasons are really far more practical. And they are relevant for any entrepreneur. Well, any female entrepreneur anyway. When faced with the dilemma of whether to change your name or not, the reality is that there is one place you should consult. It's called Google. As Wired editor Chris Anderson famously said: "Your brand is not what you say it is, it's what Google says it is."
If a prospective client Googles "Valerie Khoo", the search results are going to be filled with information about me, my business, the work I've done, testimonials from previous clients and so on. It has taken years of work to build this library of information online, which effectively works as a marketing tool, reputation reference and historical account of my work. It adds credibility to me and my businesses.
If I suddenly changed my name to Valerie Smith, or Valerie Chan or Valerie Papadopolous, I'd have to start from scratch. And while re-building an online presence is possible, it takes TIME.
The Google factor
Some people might be outraged that I would let Google influence whether I change my name or not. Well, the reality is that I don't particularly care that much. As I mentioned, I know who I am and my self-worth is not tied to my name. If it wasn't for Google I'd be perfectly happy using my own name OR that of my partner. I'm just not fussed.
But when it comes to smart business strategy, I know how important it is to have an online presence. I can track the number of people who search for "Valerie Khoo" and can see that it directly impacts website traffic, number of customers, and revenue growth.
If you're adamant – for whatever reason – about changing your name when you get married, hey, go for your life. Just remember to create and implement an online marketing strategy to:
- educate people about your new name
- expand your online presence under your new name
- strategically incorporate both names on your websites, blogs, online articles etc until people start recognising your new identity
- approach this like a marketing campaign on re-branding – because that's exactly what it is.
Fortuitously, my friend Sue Smith has actually decided to change careers. She's started a whole new business under her new name. So her name change may have been a wise strategic decision after all.
However, in a world where your online reputation is becoming more important, it's not just a feminist question any more. Regardless of what your husband thinks, consider: how will Google searches impact your decision and what online strategies do you need to implement in order to bring your new identity to the fore.
Do you think that changing your name may impact your business? Leave a comment

Readers of this column, and those who happen to catch up with us while we are in Ames, know that travel is our middle name. We started with a bucket list when I retired in 2000 and have been whittling away at it for more than a decade. We have added a few destinations along the way. This passion started when I traveled extensively around the world while director of the Leopold Center and the Water Resources Research Center and as president of the American Society of Agronomy.
Of course, we have a difference of opinion once in a while on the destinations and priorities of the bucket list. This time Betty got her first choice - Antarctica. And now we have a new No. 1 on the list of best places we have visited. And we added our seventh continent.
We went to Antarctica in February during the southern summer, flying for about 36 hours just to get to Ushuaia. The ship left from Ushuaia, the world�s southernmost city, located on the Beagle Channel in extreme southern Argentina. We pitched and rolled for two days to cross the Drake Passage, one of the world�s most notorious passages, then for five days we took Zodiacs from the ship to shore, or sometimes just cruised around.
We were not seasick, but some of the passengers disappeared for a couple of days until things calmed down. Two more days of rough seas back to Argentina, then another day and a half of flying to get back. We toured the small peninsula and islands that extend northeast toward Argentina. This is by far the warmest part of the continent.
It was an incredible, unforgettable experience. Only about 29,000 tourists get to visit the continent in a year, so we felt extremely fortunate to have experienced a bit of this world first-hand
What also makes Antarctica so special is the mystique, the 200 years of exploration, under unbelievably harsh conditions and with crude equipment by today�s standards. And there is the feeling that this is the last frontier.
Antarctica is the fifth-largest continent. It is a continent surrounded by oceans whereas the Artic is an ocean surrounded by continents. The unbroken South Polar ice sheet on the east side averages more than 2.5 miles thick and altogether ice covers 98 percent of the continent. The average temperature is -58 degrees F. as opposed to the Artic, which averages about zero. It has no resident mammals (people often ask us if we saw polar bears) or people. Elevation at the South Pole is 9,600 feet whereas at the North Pole it is essentially zero. The sea ice was just forming as we left; at its maximum each year, the sea ice nearly doubles the size of the continent.
Antarctica also has active volcanoes (we visited one, Deception Island), some of the world�s highest mountains, a desert climate where it hardly ever snows, and many kinds of ice and it is the world�s windiest continent. The deep glacial ice sheets hold many secrets about how the world formed, and how its climate has changed over the last 45 billion years. Indeed, this is the major exploration going on now; drilling deep into the ice, the sediments and even exploring fresh water lakes buried under the ice that have not been exposed for millions of years.
Polar regions are critical climate drivers. About 61 percentt of the world�s fresh water is contained in the Antarctica ice sheets; were it all to melt, it would raise the ocean level by 180 feet. The ice is a major heat sink that strongly affects the climate of the whole Earth, and the annual formation of the sea ice (that is the ice formed as the sea freezes as opposed to the glacial ice sheets) doubles the size of the continent. This affects salinity and ocean currents.
Warming is definitely happening in Antarctica, especially in the northern peninsula where we visited. The Antarctic food web is fairly simple; krill (the little shrimp like creatures) feed on algae under the sea ice. Seals, whales and penguins eat the krill. Seals, birds and whales eat the penguins. As sea ice declines less krill is grown; some penguin species (especially the Adelie) are already declining. Some fish, including the Muskie-sized Antarctic Toothfish also are proving susceptible. Add to this the ozone depletion that was first detected at the South Pole, and it is not hard to realize how environmentally important this region is. The nature guides on the ship felt that the ecosystem would change significantly in less than 40 years.
It is hard to say what experience left the greatest impression. We stood in the middle of thousands of penguins; the smell was much like a chicken house. We gazed in awe as whales cavorted and fed around the ship. Graceful albatross and other large birds followed us in the Drake Passage. Seals sunned on ice flows or dove under the Zodiacs. We floated among massive icebergs viewed breathtaking sunsets, craggily peaks; Antarctica has it all.
It was sad to leave, knowing we would probably never be back.

NEW YORK (Oct. 30)
Qantas, the Australian national airline, denied today a report that it had barred Jews from its weekly flight to Damascus. A spokesman for the airline's New York office, said the report, which has led to an investigation by the Australian government, was due to erroneous reading of the company's regulations by a travel agent in Britain.
The spokesman explained that the Syrian government requires planes that fly over its air space to land in that country at least once a week as a result of which Qantas stops in Damascus weekly on its Canberra-London run. Jews and passengers with Israeli passports or visas had been advised that Syrian law prohibits Jews from entering the country and that they might run into a problem even in transit, the spokesman said. But he stressed the decision was always left up to the passenger.
However, the spokesman said that after the incident in which a woman was told by a British travel agent that Jews were barred from the flight to Syria, the Syrian government advised Qantas that there would be no problem for any of its passengers. The airline has now discontinued the policy of advising persons of the potential problem, he said. After the initial report, the Victorian Jewish Board of Deputies in Victoria, Australia demanded the ban be lifted.

Attorney general launches Spanish Web site
Thu, 06 Aug 2009 22:37:54 GMT —
Missouri now has its first bilingual Web site.
The attorney general's Web site will now be presented in both Spanish and English.
Attorney General Chris Koster says his office gets "almost two dozen complaints a week" from Spanish-speaking Missourians.
Three percent of the state - about 175,000 people - only speak Spanish, according to Koster. That's a larger population than Springfield, which is Missouri's third largest city.
Koster says it's "vital" for people that don't speak English to be able to report crime, fraud and other abuses.
"I understand the political debate," said Koster. "But frankly we have a job to do at the attorney general's office. And our job is to provide these services...across the entire spectrum of the population."
Last year voters passed a constitutional provision that says all government business must be conducted in English. Koster told reporters he agrees with that and says the Web site complies with the provision.

The former group finance director of the Quinn Group of companies has told Dublin Circuit Criminal Court that the group was doing what it was told to do, in relation to a transaction to unwind Seán Quinn's interest in Anglo Irish Bank.
The transaction is the subject of criminal charges against Anglo's chairman, Seán FitzPatrick, and two former directors of the bank, Patrick Whelan and William McAteer, who deny giving illegal loans to 16 people to buy shares in the bank in July 2008.
Mr Whelan also denies seven charges of being involved in fraudulently altering seven loan facility letters.
Dara O'Reilly was group finance director of the Quinn Group and was also a director of Bazzely, the company set up on behalf of the Quinns to trade in financial instruments called Contracts for Difference (CFDs).
Mr O'Reilly said that Seán Quinn Snr gave directions about the investments to be pursued by Bazzely.
The company was set up in 2005 and initially had CDFs in a number of companies.
However, as the Anglo position increased in 2007, the number of other companies decreased.
Mr O'Reilly said Mr Quinn was not happy about a plan to unwind his CFD position in Anglo.
He said Mr Quinn did not agree to this voluntarily and the Quinn Group was doing what they were told to do.
Another former Quinn Group executive, Colin Morgan, also gave evidence to the trial about a press release issued on behalf of the Quinn family after the transaction eventually took place in July 2008.
The trial has now been adjourned for the day.
There will be legal argument in the case tomorrow.
The prosecution is now nearing the end of its case.

I have daily hardness and numbness on my nose. When I massage it then it eases it slightly but always returns. Is this normal or am I having healing problems

Post Rhinoplasty Numbness
Thank you for taking the time to post a question. You are very early in the healing process and considerable changes will occur. Numbness of the nasal tip is common and return of normal sensation may take a considerable amount of time on the order of 6-12 months. As for the the hardness, it is difficult to tell you what it is exactly without seeing you in person. Most likely it is just the edema/swelling within the tissues. The ability to compress the harness away is consistent with edema and is expected. You should talk to your surgeon about this and see if he has any additional suggestions e.g. salt restriction, head elevation, etc). Be upfront with your surgeon, but be patient. I hope this helps. Take care.

Hardness numbness of the nose is normal for weeks after rhinoplasty
Your observation is completely normal after rhinoplasty. Going forward you should see from week to week slight improvement in both of these observations.

The S&P 500 is down a mere 1% from last Friday's close, and yet it feels much worse than that. If you're wondering why that is, take another look at all those statistics showing fewer stocks at new highs, which I've been harping about for a while now. In short, this is finally starting to matter.
Let's take everyone's favorite group, the financials. In February I highlighted noted a measured target of $18 to $19 in the Financial Select Sector SPDR (XLF), and the fund reached just shy of $18.50 last week on the stress-test results. While the XLF does seem to be rolling over, it really hasn't done a thing wrong yet. It hasn't made a lower low, and it hasn't broken the uptrend line.
Now let's check in on one of the stocks tracked by the ETF, Goldman Sachs (GS). The stock made its high almost a month ago, and shortly thereafter it broke its first uptrend line. It saw another rally in early March -- to a lower high -- then sold off, and followed by another rally, last week, to another lower high. This means Goldman regularly appeared on the new-highs list until mid-February, but it has failed to do so for the last five weeks. In that time, the XLF has nonetheless rallied another 4%.
Goldman has now made its first lower low by breaking the late February low. That now gives it two lower highs, one lower low and two broken uptrend lines. It won't become three broken trendlines until the stock sees an oversold rally -- but, as long time readers will recall, the first one is a small warning; the second is a big yellow flag; and the third is akin to "three strikes and you're out." It essentially completes the top.
So, while I realize everyone is keen to play the ETFs and indices, realize that you must also to look at what these underlying stocks are doing -- because ultimately they will either weigh on or bolster the ETF. That is why I fuss so much over the new-highs statistic. I am sure that, as you go through your charts, you will start to see some of the early signs of that pattern I have shown in the Goldman chart.
For example, once the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) hit 430-ish in mid-February, I thought it had gone far enough. It then came down to tag the uptrend line and went on to make a higher high, and it's finally broken the uptrend line -- as you can see -- and has a potential head-and-shoulders top in place. If you review many of the individual stock charts in the semiconductor group, I am sure you'll see how many failed to make higher highs within the SOX in mid-March.
The number of stocks making new highs does matter. Over time, a decline in this statistic means lower highs, and that points to the formation of tops.

text: W.Va. native helps HGTV house hunters find a home By Rosalie Earle October 27, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Her clients fit the bill. Rudy wanted a house that could accommodate his parents. His partner, Fuz, wanted a fixer-upper that he could give a vintage industrial feel to, whereas Rudy wanted a comfortable, affordable place.Can this house dilemma be solved? Watch "House Hunters Renovations" at 10 p.m. Oct. 28 to see Charleston native Brittany Walter take her clients on a tour of three houses."'House Hunters' is the No. 1-rated show on HGTV. 'House Hunters Renovations' is a spinoff. It's the same concept," said Walter, 27, now of West Hollywood, Calif.In the hour-long episode, Walter will show her clients three houses. Viewers guess which property they will choose. The second part of the episode involves the renovations that the new homeowners undertake."I am not in the second part," said Walter, who has been in Charleston this past week, visiting family including her mother, Kathy Walter.She said she responded to an email to real-estate agents from the producers seeking participants. Her clients, she said, fit the criteria and wanted to be on the show.Both Walter, as the real-estate agent, and Rudy and Fuz, as the house hunters, had to submit separate audition videos to the production company.Walter hopes her appearance on the show will bring business her way. She's had a couple of sales and has done lots of leases, but acknowledged it's a tough time to crack the California housing market. Walter moved to Los Angeles shortly after she graduated in 2008 from Marshall University, where she majored in criminal justice."I came out here and, obviously, it's the film and entertainment industry. I didn't want to do that. I woke up one day and decided I wanted to go into real estate," she said.Walter said she lives at the base of the Hollywood Hills. "I would go hiking in the Hills and was fascinated by the houses, the architecture and the history behind the houses."She took into consideration that it was the worst time for the housing business. "I thought the worst time is probably a good time to get in and learn the business because there will be a big change," she said. "If you get in when times are tough, when it's better it will be all that easier." For the past 18 months, she has worked for Keller Williams -- "a huge, huge company -- a worldwide franchise company" -- first as a part-time assistant to a top agent in the office."The market out here is crazy -- very, very competitive," she said.Walter said people have been hesitant to try to sell their houses because the market is so low. As a result, the housing inventory is also low. "There are a lot of bidding wars and multiple offers on properties. It's shifted from a buyer's market to a seller's market," she said. And unless the purchaser has all cash, they can't get a great deal on a house anymore.Walter maintains a Facebook page, where she shows the properties she has sold or leased. To keep viewers engaged, she puts several celebrity-owned houses, such as Madonna's, on her page as well as other houses in those neighborhoods that she finds interesting.She takes the caravan tour of houses every Tuesday for agents to look at new listings. She's toured the house Ashton Kutcher was buying and has been through several designed by Frank Lloyd Wright."It's fun and exciting to be in a celebrity house, but 1 out of 10 houses on tour is a celebrity's house," she said."I'm not working with multimillion buyers yet," said Walter. And she has a part-time job on the side to help make ends meet."I am not from L.A., so it's a little harder to build up a clientele base, but I am slowly getting my stride," she said. "It is so much fun. To be in a contract and negotiating and helping people find their dream houses ... it's very rewarding."Walter added that she is always willing to help out any West Virginian moving to L.A. to lease housing or for advice on buying or selling.She may be contacted at email@example.com Rosalie at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-5115.

---+!! Beginners guide to using the List Widget %TOC% ---++ What is the List Widget Since you're reading this, you're probably in the need of some nice, efficient, generic, well tested piece of code to help you show a list of *something* in your contribution to RockBox. Well, that piece of code is usually referred to as the List Widget in the IRC channel and it can be found in *%ROCKBOX_HOME%/apps/gui/list.c*. I'm writing this guide because I hope I can make it simpler to use by new contributors to RockBox. Even though lists can be used in several, well known situations like file browsing, menus and the music database, the highly generic way lists are implemented in this case expands those situations to even implement a text viewer, a file/folder property viewer and many other things to come. ---++ A brief discussion of the architecture Let's start off by pointing out that I didn't write the List Widget, as a matter of fact, I started using it yesterday and I (sadly) realized this document didn't already exist. So discussing the architecture may well be out of my jurisdiction. However, I do know this brief explanation can clarify some things to new contributors and will hopefully be improved by other more experienced users. When someone hears about something that handles lists, at first thought he can expect the code to be a generic data structure that will hold all the necessary information in some kind of data structure (i.e.: a linked list). However, the List Widget is not designed to store data, but either to display data in the form of a list and handle user interaction like scrolling and selecting items within the list. But if the List Widget will not store the data, where/how will the data be stored? Well, that's the great part. It's _entirely_ up to you. It can well be a linked list, an array, a file, you name it. All that is needed for the list to work is that you're able to reference the appropriate item in the list by it's index. Ok, but if the List doesn't have the data, how will it know what to show in the list? Certainly, the list doesn't hold the data that is listed, so it need a _link_ to the data. That link is implemented as a function pointer. For the widget to show the labels of the items in the list, you implement a function that will provide the label when the index of the item to be shown is handed over to it (as well as a couple other parameter I'll discuss later). Besides allowing to easily list items, the widget has several other useful features including: * An optional scroll bar to give the user an idea of the number of items in the list and the current position. * The ability to cycle to the top/bottom of the list when the bottom/top is reached. * Scroll the label of an item if it's too long to fit inside the screen. * Show icons representing the type of item ---++ How to use the widget Enough talking, let's get down to business and start coding. As an example, I will assume a list of names is stored in a linked list in a structure like this: %CODE{"cpp"}% struct names_list { char first_name[10]; char last_name[10]; struct names_list *next; } %ENDCODE% Since this topic is not about linked lists, I'll skip the part where the list is filled with data. All you need to know is that we have a: %CODE{"cpp"}% struct names_list *people; %ENDCODE% that points to the first item in the list and that we can reach the next item in the list by invoking: %CODE{"cpp"}% people->next; %ENDCODE% as I said in the architecture, how the data is stored is entirely up to you. ---+++ Declaration of the list In order to use the list, you obviously need to #include something. Luckily, plugin.h has everything we need, from data structures to function pointers. So we should start by: %CODE{"cpp"}% #include "plugin.h" %ENDCODE% but you probably already included that one. After that, we declare the list itself: %CODE{"cpp"}% struct gui_synclist gui_people; %ENDCODE% ---+++ Initialization of the list widget As I mentioned before, the list doesn't hold the data itself but a pointer to a function. Of course how you create the label of an item can vary a lot, but your function should look similar to this: %CODE{"cpp"}% char * get_person_label(int selected_item, void *data, char *buffer, size_t buffer_len){ int i; struct names_list *temp_node = (struct names_list *)data; for (i=0;i<selected_item && temp_node != NULL;i++){ temp_node = temp_node->next; } if (temp_node == NULL){ return NULL; } rb->snprintf(buffer, buffer_len,"%s, %s", temp_node->last_name, temp_node->first_name); return buffer; } %ENDCODE% What can be seen here is: 1 The function receives a pointer to some data. While this is optional, you can provide that pointer to your data structures when initializing the list. 1 The way the widget informs the function what item it needs the label for is through a *selected_item* parameter. What you do with it is up to you. 1 The label is snprintf'd to the *buffer* pointer and then the same *buffer* pointer is returned. Now the actual initialization goes like this: %CODE{"cpp"}% rb->gui_synclist_init(&gui_people, &get_person_label, people, false, 1); %ENDCODE% What's all that????? relax, it's not that much: 1 *&gui_people*: The pointer to the list. Remember we didn't declare it as a pointer but as an actual variable. 1 *&get_person_label*: The pointer to the function that will provide the labels for all the items. 1 *people*: The optional data parameter that allowed us to get the pointer to the actual linked list inside the get_person_label function. 1 *false*: If set to true, the list will scroll all the labels that are too large to fit inside the screen at once. That looks kind of odd. If set to false, only the selected item will scroll. 1 *1*: The number of lines that will be selected at once. If you need to show several lines per item, you can set this to a greater value. Of course, you would need to handle the situation in your label function (i.e.: set to show 3 lines per item, divide the selected_index by 3 to know the actual item number and calculate selected_index % 3 to know the part of the item you're showing) ---+++ Set some properties Ok, the list is initialized, but it may need some more property-setting before it looks and behaves the way we want to. I'll set some properties all at once and elaborate later: %CODE{"cpp"}% rb->gui_synclist_set_title(&gui_people, "Contacts", NOICON); rb->gui_synclist_set_icon_callback(&gui_people, &get_person_icon); rb->gui_synclist_set_nb_items(&gui_people, people_count); rb->gui_synclist_limit_scroll(&gui_people, true); rb->gui_synclist_select_item(&gui_people, 0); %ENDCODE% Ok, what do you have here? 1 Set the title. Of course we provide a string for that. The third parameter indicates the icon number (from an enum). 1 Set the icon callback. This one works exactly the same as your label function, but it returns the icon number you want shown besides the selected_item. Once again, the icon is numbered in an enum called themable_icons. 1 Set the number of items in the list. The list doesn't have all the data, remember? So we need to let it know the number of items it should look for and show. 1 Indicate the list if we want to limit the scroll at the top and bottom. Setting this to false will allow the user to cycle. 1 And finally, let the list know what's the originally selected item. Of course you can use this in a different way somewhere else in your code, but we need to do it at the begining too. ---+++ Handling interaction with the list Last but not least, we have to draw the list in the screen and handle user interaction. Let's see a piece of code again and explain it line by line: %CODE{"cpp"}% int curr_selection = 0; /* not strictly needed */ int button; while (true) { rb->gui_syncstatusbar_draw(rb->statusbars, true); /* draw the statusbar, shuold be done often */ button = rb->get_action(CONTEXT_LIST,TIMEOUT_BLOCK); /* user input */ if (rb->gui_synclist_do_button(&gui_people, &button, LIST_WRAP_UNLESS_HELD)) { /* automatic handling of user input. _UNLESS_HELD can be _ON or _OFF also */ continue; } switch (button) { /* process the user input */ case ACTION_STD_OK: return rb->gui_synclist_get_sel_pos(&gui_people);; break; case ACTION_STD_CANCEL: return NULL; break; } } %ENDCODE% We need both the list widget and ourselves to handle user button clicks so everything works fine. To allow this, we're expected to get user actions and hand them over to the widget. After that, we can further handle the actions to complete the functionality. 1 I've made the loop infinite but some people are against this and prefer a flag set in a case inside the switch. 1 Force the status bar to be shown. While this is a different subject, the list may leave a line where the statusbar usually goes. 1 The actual drawing of the list. This is when our label/icon functions will be called to show the appropriate items according to the current position in the list. NOTE, only draw the list when exiting and re-enteriung the list, or the selection changes. otherwise text will never scroll. 1 Wait for an action from the user. 1 Let the list widget handle the user's action. The function returns the action taken or 0 if no action was taken. This let's us decide if we want to continue handling the action or not. Of course every situation can be handled differently. 1 Further handle the action ourselves. Note that we're using a widget function to get the current position in the list and return that value. * LIST_WRAP_UNLESS_HELD - * LIST_WRAP_UNLESS_HELD means don't let the list wrap if the user is holding down up/down, shohuold be used everywhere except special cases.. * LIST_WRAP_ON means always allow the list to wrap... not very nice.. shuoldnt be used * LIST_WRAP_OFF means never allow the list to wrap... shohuold only be used by the volume setting. ---++ Further reading All the functions of the widget are well documented in *%ROCKBOX_HOME%/apps/gui/list.h*, while I tried to make this a complete guide, there are some other functions of the list like adding/removing items I didn't cover. Also, I didn't write much about icons but you can find several examples in the plugins and the core itself. -- Main.MauricioPeccorini - 29 May 2007 commented the code to help new users, and fixed it up a bit -- Main.JonathanGordon - 30 May 2007

Boys hockey: Trojans wait, then win
MINNEAPOLIS — The wait was long, but the Worthington Trojans boys hockey team eventually recorded a victory Thursday in the first round of the Minnehaha Academy JV Tournament.
The Worthington contingent arrived at 10:45 a.m. to practice for a 12:30 p.m. game in the Twin Cities area tourney, but no one had set up the tournament. The Trojans began skating in warmups and, after a time, they were sent back to the warmup area, said Worthington head coach Nate Grimmius. Later, they returned to the ice to practice some more, and still the officials weren't there.
Apparently, said Grimmius, the regular officials were told the wrong date of the tournament. Finally, a makeshift crew was assembled and the game got under way at about 1:15 p.m.
Worthington won it, 7-4. Tony Lopez had three goals (a hat trick) for the Trojans while Andrew Johnson and Nick Newman contributed two goals apiece.
Gage Langerud was in goal for the Trojans.
Worthington will play again today in a 2:30 p.m. start against either Minnehaha JV or Morris-Benson JV.
Grimmius said the Trojans started out slow, then "cleaned some things up by the third period."
He added: "It's a nice win, but we understand it's still just a JV tournament. We're expecting better play tomorrow."

Hi there,
I'm a visiting Chowhound from the Boston boards. I've been writing about food here for a while now, and would like to get out of the stands and onto the field, so to speak, and brush up on my own cooking skills -- maybe even do some cooking around NYC afterwards. I'm a mostly vegetarian eater (a vegetarian food writer? yes, we exist) and would prefer to learn to cook vegetarian rather than train in heavily meat-based cuisines, so I was looking at the Natural Gourmet cooking school. Are there any alumni from this school on the Manhattan boards? Anyone who's taken professional or recreational classes there? I'd love to hear about your experiences.
Also, would love suggestions for affordable, "foodie" neighborhoods I should look into should I move to NYC to train here. It looks like it's right near the 23d street PATH, so I could do Hoboken or Jersey City, but I think I'd prefer Bklyn.
Any insight is appreciated!
