The Hays Eagles Senior American Legion baseball season has come to a close with a 3-0 loss in New Orleans against the Oklahoma state champs. Oklahoma only scored all three runs in the bottom of the seventh in a otherwise scoreless ball game.
Hays though did have opportunities to score. The Eagles stranded nine base runners total with five of those at second and two at third base. Hays had their best opportunities to score in the third when they loaded the bases with two outs on singles by Casey Sedbrook, Riley Kaus and a walk by Hayden Hutchison. A passed ball by the catcher when Jarrett Sanders was at the plate set up a close play at home where Sedbrook was called out trying to steal.
Hays also had a runner at second with nobody out to start the fifth inning when Taylor Renz singled and then advanced to second on a throwing error. Renz moved to third on a fly ball to right field, but the next two batter flied out to end the threat.
Oklahoma led off the bottom of the seventh inning with a double and single to put runners at the corners and no outs. Taylor Renz came up throwing on a RBI single to right field and appeared to have easily thrown out a runner at third, but the umpire rule the runner safe. That led to a sacrifice bunt for an RBI. On the next play catcher Jarrett Sanders appeared to have thrown a runner trying to steal third. That runner then came around on a RBI single to make the game 3-0.
Josh Heifner took just his second loss of the season throwing a complete game eight innings. Allowing 11 hits, 3 runs, walked just two and struck out eight.
Oklahoma's Payton Blass pitched all nine innings allowing eight hits, no runs, striking out thirteen and walking only two.
Each team had one error. Hays left nine on base, Oklahoma left ten runners aboard.
Hays finishes the summer at 46-10. Oklahoma is one of four teams left in the tournament and improves their record to 28-15.

Bangalore: A week after snapping his four decade old association with the BJP, former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa today dubbed it 'a bigger evil' than Congress and Janata Dal Secular (JDS) and vowed never to return to his former party.
"It is 100 per cent. BJP is a bigger evil than Congress or JDS", Mr Yeddyurappa, who is set to formally launch his regional outfit Karnataka Janata Party at Haveri on December 9, said.
The 70-year-old former BJP strongman, credited with bringing the first ever BJP government to power in south India, said in reply to a question "I will not return to my previous party under any circumstances in my lifetime".
Mr Yeddyurappa, a product of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) stable, said he has distanced himself from its ideology and is now wedded to the principles of Mahatma Gandhi, Ambedkar and Jayaprakash Narayan.
He however, did not forget to recall his association with the BJP and said "the party has given me everything right from the post of president of a municipality to Chief Minister. I have also sacrificed everything for the party. When there was talk that the BJP cannot come to power in the south, with the help of workers, I brought it to power".
Training his guns on some detractors in BJP, he said "conspiracies were hatched against me when I was leader of the opposition in 2004. They did not want me continue in that post. It continued when I became Chief Minister also".
Mr Yeddyurappa claimed support of 50 to 55 BJP MLAs and 12 MPs.
He dared BJP leaders, including Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar, to take action against his supporters at the cost of his government.
"I made a mistake in making Mr Shettar Chief Minister. But I do not want to topple it and face allegations that I was responsible for it. Hence I am maintaining restraint", he said defending his decision not to rock the government.
Blaming BJP's national general secretary HN Anant Kumar for the party's 'upheaval' in Karnataka, Mr Yeddyurappa charged him with helping mining baron Janardhana Reddy who wanted to oust him. "He made at least two such attempts. Some party leaders also supported him".
On the dissidents' rebellion led by Mr Reddy in 2010, he claimed Anant Kumar had been toying with the idea of becoming Chief Minister. "Mr Kumar projected Jagadish Shettar as my replacement, but tried to occupy the chair and did not succeed," he said.
Mr Yeddyurappa said Mr Kumar tried his best when Sadananda Gowda was made Chief Minister and was again keen to get the post after Mr Gowda was replaced by Mr Shettar.
He lashed out at BJP for its 'betrayal' and recounted an incident about four months ago during which the high command deputed Dharmendra Pradhan, in-charge of Karnataka affairs and RSS functionary Santosh for talks with him.
He said he had told them he would, if they wished, issue a statement he would not be chief ministerial aspirant after the 2013 assembly polls and they could nominate anyone for the post. He had even said he was ready to not contest the polls.
However they did not revert to him after going back to Delhi.
Mr Yeddyurappa recalled Mr Gadkari promised him the state unit president post the day after he quit as the Chief Minister and that post when he was cleared of corruption charges by the court. However nothing came of the promises.
He feels that the political situation in Karnataka was now ripe for regional parties to play a bigger role and said KJP would fit this bill. "After the next election, I am sure KJP will come to power. I will lead the party and will be party President," Mr Yeddyurappa said.
Mr Yeddyurappa claimed the KJP would also play a dominant role in the next Lok Sabha poll because of its presence in the state. He refused to buy the argument KJP has no presence in south Karnataka and claimed there are multiple aspirants for KJP tickets in each constituency and names for 100 are ready.
He refused to react when asked which party is KJP's opponent in the 2013 assembly election, stating "it is too early to say. But I have support from all sections, including minorities".

I am wanting some info on how they work. I just got my printer, gonna buy ink soon, but a little confused about the process. If anyone has done this, please share your ideas, thoughts.
Many thanks.
Well, the site seems to be running very, very slow and I don't have much time to pick out more of the ones I have done. It's very easy to put frosting sheet/Edible Images on a cake - especially a sheet cake Just use fresh b'cream icing &/or *lightly* brush the area of icing that the pic will fit into and quickly place it. You really only have ONE chance to get it placed properly so it's best to work w/smaller pix or place them on a thin plaque of fondant or gumpaste before placing on the cake. Once
you have placed it, it is very helpful to use a fondant smoother tool to lightly go over it and make sure no bubbles form. If there are any use a pin (a corsage/hat pin is great) to prick them from the underside of the bubble.
Also check out my photos for more ideas.
These are on FB so hopefully the links will work...
This is a 1.25" coin:
These are the 2" coins that we usually do:
OM Heavens KORYAK, those pink girly ones are AWESOME! I love the colors, and Kakeladi I love the photos!! Thanks girls for sharing. KoryAK, am I right in assuming you laid the coins over fondant maybe? I want to use Chocolate clay instead, and I am going to make the MM Fondant tomorrow, to taste, before I commit to using fondant at all. I hope it will work. I have also read somewhere that I can brush on piping gel to adhere the ee's to whatever I am doing, have you heard of this?
Thanks again ladies!!
......read somewhere that I can brush on piping gel to adhere the ee's to whatever I am doing,...heard of this?....
Yes, piping gel can be used. Just make sure it is *VERY!* thin coating....in fact onceit is applied that the edge of your spatula and scrape it over the area to remove even more - that's how thin the coating should be
Both of the cupcakes in the photos had the plain EIs just laid on. I use SMBC that doesn't crust so I can add it anytime but if you use ABC or another crusting BC then you can just do it right away. Another way we do it here is to adhere the EI coin to fondant with water, cut that out larger with a straight or scalloped round cutter, dry them out, then apply to the cupcake. This is what you would do if you wanted something you could stick in the top of the cupcake or lean against the front for added dimension.
KoryAK, that was my next question, and you just answered it, thank you so much.

The root of the problem may be a failure to communicate. Washington's message of rising frustration, and even anger, over Japan's trade practices is being received in Tokyo with chagrin and incredulity. The reason for the perplexed reaction is that the flurry of Japan bashing in the U.S. comes at a time when the Japanese feel they have made historic changes for the better in their restrictive and protectionist policies. Japanese politicians and business leaders insist that the old ways have been replaced by an expanding spirit of openness and global neighborliness. Kokusai-ka, the Japanese term for internationalization, has become a...

Using an unusual concoction of drugs this afternoon, Arizona attempted to execute a man on death row. One hour after he was supposed to have been lethally injected, however, Joseph Rudolph Wood was still alive, "gasping and snoring." Wood's lawyers filed an emergency request to stay the execution and give the man life-saving help, but it was too late: After two hours, he died.
Wood's execution almost didn't occur today. Just three days ago, a federal appeals court put the lethal injection plans on pause, requiring the state to disclose "the name and provenance of the drugs to be used in the execution" and "the qualifications of the medical personnel" performing the execution. On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme court reversed that lower court's ruling, and, after another brief stay by Arizona's Supreme Court, the execution continued as planned
All this conflict has arisen because overseas drug-makers have raised moral objections to their products being used in executions, and refused to sell the medications for that purpose. As the usual drugs used to lethally inject inmates have been pulled from the shelves by their makers, the American justice system has turned to untested, often undisclosed, drugs to kill its inmates. Those drugs are usually made not in pharmacies but in drug compounding facilities not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration.
What's more, administering lethal injection violates the Hippocratic oath, to which doctors must adhere. That means that the people performing the injections are often less qualified to do so.
Wood's extended survival through execution is only one of several horrible results from this conflict. Just last month, Oklahoma botched an execution, leaving inmate Clayton Lockett writhing in pain for 43 minutes before he suffered the massive heart attack that ultimately killed him. And before him, there were more: Eric Robert, for example, turned purple and gasped for 20 minutes before he died back in 2012. Michael Lee Wilson was said to have screamed, "I feel my whole body burning" before he eventually died during his execution.
The underlying legal question behind all of these incidents is whether or not execution by lethal injection is cruel and unusual punishment — and many say that the evidence is mounting that, with these untried cocktails slowing down executions, it is. Some advocates for the death penalty have even said it's time to turn toward other methods of execution, including the electric chair, firing squads, and even the guillotine.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) told reporters following the botched execution that witness accounts indicated Wood did not suffer, but she has asked for a review of the execution process. A spokesperson for the state's Attorney General, who witnessed the execution, told National Journal, "I was surprised by how peaceful it was."

Last week, Denver Zookeeper and giraffe handler Liz was a special guest at the Columbine Library's story times! When she wasn't reading this year's OneBook 4 Colorado selection, Giraffes Can't Dance, we took a few minutes to ask her about the Denver Zoo's giraffes and what she thought they might enjoy reading. Based on our chat, our librarians put together a list of books perfect for the Denver Zoo's giraffe population!
Dikembe and Animal Strike at the Zoo, It's True! By Karma WilsonWhile Dikembe is described as calm and laidback, we think he'd enjoy this tale about a zookeeper trying to manage day-to-day activities at the zoo when the animals decide not to roar, prowl and growl!
Masika and Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan CainMasika is the Denver Zoo's most shy and introverted giraffe, which is why our librarians thought that she could use the self-esteem boost that comes with reading Susan Cain's book about how important introverts are to the world!
Heshimu and Interrupting Chicken by David Ezra SteinFriendly and playful Heshimu is bound to get a kick out of reading Interrupting Chicken! It's been listed on places like Brightly.com and Buzzfeed as one of the funniest children's books ever written!
Kipele and The Decent Proposal by Kemper DonovanAs the sweetest giraffe at the Denver Zoo, we think that Kipele would love this adorable romance about two strangers who go on one year of dates, one date a week, for half a million dollars each if they can stand each other for the whole time.
Want more books that share the great themes in Giraffes Can't Dance? Check out these books recommended by our Kids and Families librarians!

Esophageal or "tube" feeders can be very helpful tools for providing calves with adequate amounts of colostrum as soon as possible after birth. Some farms use them as the primary method of feeding colostrum, while others tube only calves that fail to consume enough colostrum from a bottle.
A recent study at Penn State compares total serum protein and IgG concentrations and apparent efficiency of absorption (AEA) in Holstein heifer calves when colostrum was fed by nipple bottle or esophageal feeder.
Study results show that the use of tube feeding did not reduce IgG absorption. Read about more results from the study, which was published in the December 2011 issue of the Professional Animal Scientist.

Founded by the Sisters of Mercy of Detroit in 1992 to provide tutoring for economically disadvantaged girls in southwest Detroit, Mercy Education Project (MEP) today offers a spectrum of programs to serve the basic educational needs of at-risk women and girls in southwest Detroit, one of Detroit's poorest areas.
Almost 25 years ago, Mercy Education Project began as a tutoring and summer program for 14 girls. By the following year, GED classes for women were added. Witnessing a considerable need for remedial education for Detroit women who had dropped out of school, MEP added adult basic education and adult literacy components. With a growing number of GED graduates looking for additional career services, we expanded the career development program and added job training programs between 2004 and 2007.
In 2009, MEP started the Emerging Leaders summer program for middle school girls. With a focus on creating a college and career knowing culture, Emerging Leaders helps girls – and their families – who have had little exposure to higher education see its benefits and prepare for its possibilities.
In 2012, computer literacy instruction was integrated into the adult education services and ACT/SAT preparation was added for high school youth. In 2013, a Spring Break College Camp was initiated as an intensive one week program immersing 11th and 12th graders is college prep.
Mercy Education Project continues to receive some support from the Sisters of Mercy West Midwest Community in addition to individuals, corporations, foundations, and other private and public entities.
Once a very small tutoring project, Mercy Education Project now helps approximately 250 girls and women in Detroit each year to succeed in education and move toward self-sufficiency.

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Hash Brown Waffles with Sausage Apple Patties and Fried Eggs
Breakfast is my family's favorite meal of the day. So when we're feeling like comfort on a plate or when I need a break in my cooking routine, I make dinner for breakfast.
This summer, I'm busy wrapping up recipe development for my second cookbook so I've been cooking up lots of old favorites for the family, including this recipe—definitely an oldie, but goodie, from my first gluten-free, dairy-free book, Cooking for Isaiah.
Please come say "hi" and let me know what you think about this recipe over in my online community, Silvana's Kitchen. Thanks, as always, for reading and sharing!
For ingredient substitutions, please see the detailed chart at Gluten-Free 101.
Let's get cooking,
Instead of classic waffles, I serve up my sausage and eggs with crispy hash brown waffles, which I can promise you, taste better than a side of fries. The dried apples in the sausage patties add just the right amount of sweet, caramelized flavor.
1 pound sweet or spicy Italian sausages, casings removed
1/3 cup dried apples (about 1 ounce), finely chopped
1 tablespoon brown sugar
¾ teaspoon dry mustard
¼ teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons canola oil
3 Yukon Gold potatoes (about 1½ pounds)—peeled, grated and wrung dry
½ medium onion, grated
4 large eggs, at room temperature
Ketchup, for serving
- In a medium bowl, mix together the sausage, apples, brown sugar, mustard, paprika, ½ teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; shape into eight 3-inch patties, about ¼-inch thick. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat; add 4 patties and cook until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes on each side. Repeat with the remaining patties.
- In a small bowl, mix together the potato, onion, 1 tablespoon oil and ¾ teaspoon salt. Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high heat; grease with cooking spray. Place ½ cup of the potato mixture into each waffle square; cook until golden and crisp, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and season with salt and pepper; cook, turning once, until whites are set and yolks are slightly runny, about 3 minutes.
- Place each waffle on a plate and top with 2 sausage patties and a fried egg. Serve with ketchup.

This looks delicious!! Question, what brand of Italian sausages and dried apples that are gluten free do you use? I've been struggling to find GF sausage in a casin.
I bet this would be great with sweet potatoes too!
I was also wondering, what sausage you would recommend, that is such a challenge.
I found TUrkey Sausage, that states no Gluten. Any products are greatly appreciated, that seems to be the challenge in gluten free cooking. Thank you for your ideas, hopefully we can implement. THanks Again! Love the name Isaiah, I have a son with that names as well.

Minnesota's 4 Year Old Mayor [VIDEO]
Subscribe to KIKN-FM / Kickin' 100.5 on
Kindergarten for this adorable little guy includes writing, colors, art, 2 + 2, and running a town. He's the mayor so don't mess with him.
We'd like you to meet Robert Tufts, the current mayor of Dorset, Minnesota, who was elected to office at just four-years-old. The town has only 22 people, and chooses its mayor by picking a name out of a hat.
What is Robert's political agenda? Based on the video, holding sticks, riding coin operated horses, and going fishing. Sounds about right.
And he's not ashamed to talk about his love life. He says he has just one girlfriend for now–a girl named Sophia. It's unclear whether the town's first lady knows that she's captured the mayor's heart.
Campaigns for mayor don't cost much in Dorset–just $1 will get your name in the hat.
This isn't the first time the town of Dorset, located near Park Rapids, has elected a youngster. The post had previously been held by a 5 year old.

How to deal with unregulated period
Everybody knows that the adolescent years can be complicated for both parents and adolescents. All those bodily changes during puberty can make teenagers feel uncomfortable and uncertain of themselves. This is mostly true for girls when they attain the menstrual period. For a girl, acquiring her first menstrual period is a physical landmark and an indication of turning out to be a woman. However, it can also be perplexing and frightening, as well, particularly if she comes across certain menstrual period problems, such as uneven periods or premenstrual disorder. Most issues that adolescents tackle while they start menstruating are totally normal. Actually, several adolescents and women have had to cope with one or more of them during their life cycle. Here are some of common menstrual period problems that an adolescent and an adult woman use to face.

- Irritability
- Depression or feeling blue
- Difficulty in concentrating
- Feeling tense or anxious
- Difficulty in handling stress
Different girls may experience some or all of these indications in different combinations. Some of the girls wish they could stop their menstrual cycle.

Several girls and women come across abdominal cramps during the initial few days of their menstrual periods.

Uneven periods can take two to three years from the first period of a girl for her body to build up a normal cycle. During that period, the body is fundamentally adjusting to the invasion of hormones, unleashed through puberty. The usual cycle of a mature female is 28 days, even though some are as little as 21 days, whereas some others are as long as 35 days. Change in the levels of hormones will make the period of a girl continue for a short time during one month, usually some days, and an extended time the next, normally equal to a week. She may miss out months, acquire two periods approximately right following each other, or alternate between light and heavy bleeding from one month to the next month.
Belated Menarche
Girls experience puberty at dissimilar rates. Some girls attain menarche, which is the medical word for the initial period or the commencement of menstruation, as early as 10 or 11 years old, whereas some others do not have their initial periods, pending they are well into their adolescent years. So, if a girl happens to be a "late bloomer," it does not necessarily signify that there is something immoral with her. In fact, girls acquire their periods relies a lot on heredity.

HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how's everybody?
HOLLYWOOD — God bless America, and how's everybody?
Russia's president Vladimir Putin's divorce from his wife of 30 years Lyudmila Putin was finalized Wednesday and confirmed by the Kremlin. They couple had announced plans in June to go their separate ways. It's been a very amicable divorce so far, Lyudmila is still alive.
Vladimir Putin urged Ukraine to crack down on radicals causing trouble in Kiev. He's the boss. During his vacation in Siberia last summer, Putin posed with a 60-pound fish he'd killed with a speargun, and there was nothing the manager of the aquarium could do but watch.
Queen Elizabeth signed a law by Parliament legalizing gay marriage in England. It went into effect on midnight Tuesday. It was inevitable, considering the cultural evolution on both sides of the Pond, not to mention the fact that England's favorite soccer team is Man United.
North Korea announced it will allow foreign runners to run in the Pyongyang Marathon on Friday. It seemed crazy last week when Kim Jung Un ordered every man in North Korea to wear his haircut like his. Now it's obvious he was trying to keep the Kenyans out of the contest.
Denver hosts an international marijuana fair next week with 700 pot growers competing for blue ribbons. Several thousand fair-goers will serve as judges of each pot's potency and samples will be passed around. Fair food vendors have been warned to plan ahead.
Tiger Woods underwent back surgery Tuesday and was forced to withdraw from the Masters tournament in Augusta in two weeks. He simply couldn't put it off any longer. The injury stems from a diagnosis five years ago when his orthopedic surgeon said he pulled a Bill Clinton.
President Obama spoke to cheering college students in Ann Arbor on Wednesday about the importance of raising the minimum wage. It was a lovefest. College students identify most with President Obama because most of them are also in their sixth year and hopelessly in debt.
The L.A. City Council decision to allow the construction of twin skyscrapers in downtown Hollywood drew protests. They will stand on top of an earthquake fault and two subway tunnels. Los Angeles is sick and tired of producers going out of town to shoot disaster movies.
The China Post reported rich Chinese are paying $3,000 a month to have women give them breast milk as a health drink. You just call them up, they come over and they take off their top. Leave it to the Chinese to teach Democrats how to sell health care reform.

According to the Seattle Biomedical Research Institute (SBRI), three out of four women will develop a vaginal infection in their lifetime. People living in Asian countries such as China and Russia have been aware of the benefits of kombucha tea for thousands of years. Today, its beneficial yeasts are used to combat the harmful yeast overgrowth of Candida albicans, the fungus that causes yeast infections.
Kombucha is a fermented tea made from mushrooms that originated in Asia about 200 B.C., according to KombuchaCultures.com. It has carried with it a reputation for healing and illness prevention, with people all over the world boasting of its benefits, the website says.
Candida albicans, reports SBRI, lives in the mouth, vagina and gastrointestinal tract, often without causing difficulty. The trouble begins when there's an overgrowth of that natural yeast. Its history is widely unknown, though the first case was reported in Germany in 1839 by B. Lagenbeck, according to the Global Wellness website.
Kombucha can relieve the unpleasant effects of Candida within the body, says KombuchaCultures.com. It uses its healthy probiotics---micro-organisms the restore balance to the intestine---and cultured yeasts to overcome Candida yeast overgrowth. According to The Kombucha Journal website, kombucha's yeasts and their production of glucuronic acid act to detoxify cells and cleanse unwanted organisms from the body.
Kombucha is often brewed at home using a "mother" mushroom. This mushroom, says KombuchaCultures.com, is placed in black tea and then sealed. It ferments for approximately 30 days, creating a vinegar-like beverage. If you don't want to wait that long for the brewing process to finish, most health food stores sell kombucha tea flavored with natural fruits.
Some people say kombucha should never be consumed by a person with a yeast infection, reports The Kombucha Journal website, under the mistaken belief that kombucha is full of yeast and bacteria that can worsen the condition rather than alleviate it. However, the website says, kombucha's yeasts promote health and wellness, as they are not in the same family as Candida. When these yeasts come in contact with Candida, kombucha's apathogen yeasts begin to take over.
Though rare, kombucha can have side effects on the body, including upset stomach or allergic reactions. Kombucha should not be consumed if you are pregnant or nursing, as it causes the body to release toxins that could be dangerous to an unborn baby or be expressed in breast milk. Also, kombucha tea contains small, but varying amounts of alcohol.
Candida overgrowth is a medical problem that can lead to dental problems, a weakened immune system and dehydration. If you suspect you have a yeast infection, consult your health care provider before trying any natural remedies.

For this last outfit, I used the fold-down method. Again, the top portion of my dress is hiding under the skirt portion. This skirt is full and lined anyway, so the extra fabric doesn't add much to the already poofy skirt.

A DICE presentation obtained by NeoGAF has revealed EA is working on 15 new titles developed using the Frostbite 3 game engine.
It makes sense for EA to make full use of its powerful in-house game engine, but the knock on effect on Wii U could be catastrophic. Wii U is not a supported platform for Frostbite 3, meaning these 15 titles are unlikely to be released on Nintendo's struggling console.
"[Frostbite 3] has never been running on WiiU. We did some tests with not too promising results with [Frostbite 2] and chose not to go down that path," Tweeted DICE technical director Johan Andersson.
So which games will the Wii U miss out on? EA has announced Battlefield 4, C&C Generals, Dragon Age 3, a new Mass Effect, Star Wars titles and Need for Speed all on Frostbite 3.
In addition, EA Sports is working on a next generation sports engine to power FIFA, Madden and NBA Live, and with Madden 14 not coming to Wii U future EA Sports support on Wii U is in doubt.

Stars' Red Carpet Style at the CFDAs
Take that, Jesse James! In her first public appearance since news broke that her tattooed, motorcycle-loving hubby cheated, the Oscar winner proved she has better taste by getting up on international sex symbol Scar-Jo at the MTV Video Music Awards. "Now that we have done that, can we please go back to normal because therapy is really expensive," Bullock said after accepting the Generation Award. (And, for the record, this isn't Sandy's first girl-kissing rodeo. She swapped spit with Meryl Streep at the Critics Choice Awards in March.)
The 17-year-old singer caused a stir for what she insists wasn't actually a kiss at all. During a live performance of her new song, "Can't Be Tamed," on Britain's Got Talent this past weekend, she pretended to make out with a female backup dancer. While the public went absolutely nuts, she insisted it was all a big misunderstanding and took to her website to set the record, er, straight. "I promise you I did not kiss her, and it is ridiculous that two entertainers can't even rock out with each other without the media making it some type of story," she wrote.

When you think of Carmel, it is usually downtown that comes to mind, but one of Carmel's most charming and famous landmarks would have to be The Mission Ranch.
It is hidden in a quiet and unassuming neighborhood just on the outskirts of town, which is sometimes difficult to find in the dark, but worth it. The Mission Ranch is old-school Carmel. We think it may be owned by that guy, what's his name? Clint? Just kidding. It's known for the piano bar and for its fabulous Sunday brunch buffet.
On this visit we arrived for dinner just before sunset. The place was alive with the bubbling chatter of both tourists and locals alike, with the groove of the piano setting the stage.
The view from the patio table that we had looked out on the sunny pasture and the people were enjoying the peaceful sunset vista laid out before them.
The sheep were grazing in the meadow, the sunlight was shimmering off the lagoon, and the visions of Point Lobos in the background were majestic.
Our party started with a round of cocktails from the full bar. They also offer some good local wine choices as well, such as Hahn, Morgan and Scheid, just to name a few.
The offerings here are classic American with a sophisticated flair. As starters to accompany the cocktails, our party of five shared several appetizers. The dozen oysters ($15) were Fanny Bays. On this occasion they were plump, juicy and delicious (The next time we came and ordered them, two out of the six were inedible for Lisa).
Served on the half shell, the cocktail sauce that accompanies them has a nice horseradish kick to it. We also ordered the soup of the day, carrot and ginger ($8) that had good clean flavors, with nothing overpowering.
Some of us needed our greens, and opted for The Wedge ($8), and mixed greens ($8) to share. The Wedge is a good-sized slice of iceberg, with diced tomato, green onions and a house-made bleu cheese dressing. The mixed greens was a generous portion of baby lettuce, tomato, carrot and green onion, with a choice of dressing. We tried the balsamic vinaigrette.
The entrees going by to other tables looked great. The scallops we saw were large sea scallops, seared and served with grilled polenta.
The braised short rib also looked good. Some of our party ended up ordering the Half Maple Leaf Duck ($25). It is roasted and served with mushrooms, a rich port wine sauce, asparagus and mashed potatoes.
The duck was a disappointment. On one visit there, it was super. This time it was tough, the skin had no texture (flabby), and the meat had no seasonings. The mashed potatoes that shared the plate were also bland.
The rest of us ordered the roast prime rib (regular cut $33 and ranch cut bone-in $36) done a nice medium rare. It was melt-in-your-mouth tender and well-seasoned. It was accompanied by the usual au jus, horseradish cream, asparagus and twice baked potato. Yes, it was such a generous portion that there was to be a roast beef sandwich in Lorie's future.
We decided we needed to sample one of the dessert offerings, and so went with the Individual pecan pie, served warm with vanilla ice cream ($8), we found it to be a little on the sweet side, and the pecans were burnt on top.
There you have it, the good, bad and ugly. We will be back another time for the ribs. The sea bass also looked like it may be worth a try. We will definitely pass this way again, if for nothing else, for the view.
Ciao for now.GO!

One Stylish Mother: A Mini-Makeover With a Belt
Want to give your outfit a quick mini-makeover? Put a belt on it.
There have been lots o' suits on the Fashion Week runways, which is nice for those of us who have to dress for the office. (I use that term loosely—you can get away with sartorial murder when you work at a magazine. Don't get me started on the junior staffers who wear miniskirts so short you can practically see their business.) Cinching a work-y jacket with a simple leather belt is an easy little trick that showed up at both Elizabeth & James and Donna Karan. I tried it yesterday, with a cozy scarf under the jacket, and it was pretty chic. There is no photographic evidence of this, however, because I was also covered in SLUSH.

Author's Response: Thank you, I think! LOL :D
The ruse has been perfectly revealed- way to go! Love it when either the twins or their parents say the same things. Waiting for the next chapter!! :D
Author's Response: Thanks, Stefanie dearest! And I'm so glad you liked my version of the ruse. AND that you like that I make them unknowingly parrot each other, LOL. *hugs
That was a great chapter can't wait to see what you come up with next.
Nice chapter. It was a little short, but that's no big deal. I like the fact that Callie, who was raised by a Slytherin, was sent to Gryffindor, and Lia, who was raised by a Gryffindor, was sent to Slytherin. Good work so far.
This sounds good so far. Is this based on a movie called The Parent Trap, by any chance?
Author's Response: Thank you, Mandy! Yes, it is. ;D
That was a great chapter. Can't wait to see who figures out they switched first. Next chapter soon i hope.
Oooh, much longer this time, and wonderfully satisfying! The mistletoe moments were very well-crafted. I like how both Hermione and Draco shared in the kissing. First it was just to break the spell, then it was to emphasize a point, and then they actually missed it! Lovely, lovely, and very fitting for who they are. I'm very excited for this Christmas, too!
"Slytherin traits are the most catching." This is a very interesting point. The Slytherin traits are ambition and cunning. I don't want to include general self-interest, but they aren't Hufflepuff-loyal or Gryffindor-noble. And I think it's much easier to be self-serving than noble or loyal. After all, it's instinctual. Makes me wonder if the people in the other houses are more socially developed than the people in Slytherin. Maybe a nature vs. nurture problem. Hm...
Anyway, I'll save the theorizing for later! Great work - no bees for you this week! :)
Author's Response: Wow, I'm thankful you think so, Kaitlyn. :)
I love this story so much!
Author's Response: So glad of that! Thanks!
Awwww so sweet. Can't wait to see what happens in the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thanks, Kristin!
Awesome! Really like this story :)
Author's Response: Thanks, Joy!

COVINGTON, La., Dec. 20, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Globalstar, Inc. (Nasdaq:GSAT), today announced that it received notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of the NASDAQ Stock Market (NASDAQ) that Globalstar's common stock will be delisted effective at the opening of business on Friday, December 21, 2012. NASDAQ is taking this action due to the Company's common stock trading below the minimum bid price of $1.00 in excess of the period permitted by NASDAQ listing rules. As Globalstar previously announced, in September, 2011, NASDAQ notified the Company that its common stock was no longer in compliance with the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued listing. As a result of an appeal initiated by the Company, the period for compliance was extended and any delisting was deferred. Globalstar recently requested a further extension of the compliance period and a deferral of delisting, which was declined by NASDAQ in the notice received on December 19, 2012. Effective Friday, December 21, 2012, the Company anticipates that its common stock will trade over the counter (OTC) under its current symbol, GSAT. Jay Monroe, Chairman and CEO of Globalstar, Inc., stated, "The board of directors carefully deliberated, over an extended period of time, the advantages and disadvantages of effecting a reverse stock split in order to seek to regain compliance with NASDAQ's listing qualifications, and decided that doing so was not in the Company's or its stockholders' best interests at this time. We remain keenly focused on the execution of our satellite communications and spectrum strategies to drive stockholder value, including completing our fourth Second-Generation satellite launch. We fully intend to seek listing on an accredited exchange as soon as it is feasible to do so." About Globalstar, Inc. Globalstar is a leading provider of mobile satellite voice and data services.

Amazingly done. Sara's story is an inspiring one of quiet courage against her personal adversaries that I may never have with my own. This was really touching, thank you for writing it. It is so sad, and yet it may teach us all a lesson. Bravo.
I love how you incorporated a serious illness into this fic. Often, authors of HP fanfiction make the characters seem invicible.
Here, I think you showed that magical people are mortal. Afterall, we did see Dumbledore die, yet some people cling to the notion that magic can heal/save/fix anything.
I also loved the emotion you put into this. It was almost a surprising emotion. As I read the story, I didn't feel any particular attachment to Sara, but when I read the note about her death, I was shocked and upset that she had died. Because she too, like Isabell, had held on for so long, and I couldn't bare to see her go.
Author's Response: Thank you very much for your review. I too feel that there is a wave of invincibility and immortality among HP charcters which sets them as a race apart which is not in the least true. Sara wasn't anyone great or special, just a girl, who died like all people must. And I feel like there is so many of these stories in the world that are just ignored like this. The ordinary people are important too. Anyway, thank you again, and I'm glad I could have touched you in any great or little way.
OMG. Tearjerker! I love this fic!
However, I think you should maybe include more of her enjoyind life, and show her progression from afraid to not afraid to doie.
This is a very good fic. I love it!
Author's Response: Thanks. I actually was planning a longer fic revolving around her life, and the one shot through the letters was meant to be a lead in- but unfortunatly life intervened and I haven't ever finished it. I will definatly consider expanding with the inner material if I have a chance. So thanks again!
Wow. Your writing was amazing, I even cried at the end...thanks for writing such a meaningful story.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review! This story carried a lot of personal weight with me as well so it is always nice to know that someone else appreciated it.
Wow. that was heart wrenching. it made me cry but it was so well written. amazing.
Author's Response: Thanks. So often these people are the forgotten ones, but in their own way they are as heroic as the war heros. Its just a different kind of battle.

An Atlanta couple have donated their daughter Tamara's cancelled wedding reception to the homeless. Carol and Willie Fowler were surprised when the lavish wedding they'd paid for was called off. But they decided to make the occasion joyous for a whole different group of people - 200 homeless individuals and their families. While its unclear what exactly put the brakes on the blessed union, Tamara attended the impressive event that was once supposed to be all about her in high spirits.
'We're very pleased that she's handling it so well,' Mrs Fowler told WBUR. 'She was also very delighted to see and know that others had an opportunity to enjoy something, rather than just allow it to go to waste.' Mrs Fowler contacted Elizabeth Omilami, the head of Hosea Feed the Hungry, and Atlanta-based homeless charity, after her daughter Tamara's nuptials fell through. Omilami said she thought Mrs Fowler was joking when she first told her the generous offer to give the less fortunate a four-course meal at the upmarket Villa Christina restaurant, complete with gold plates and crystal glasses.
Mrs Fowler said her family learned 40 days prior to Saturday's event they'd spend thousands on that there would no longer be a wedding. That's when they called Mrs Omilami. 'At first, I thought it was a prank call because it was such an amazing offering,' Omilami told WBUR. 'It was my husband's idea,' she told WBUR. 'We prayed about it. And when he woke up the next morning, he said, we're going to call Hosea Feed the Hungry and ask if we can donate it to the needy. I immediately looked up the number and called and spoke with Mrs Elisabeth Omilami, and in doing so, we partnered. And it was such a wonderful feeling.'
Mrs Omilami said she wanted to focus on children - as 70% of Atlanta's homeless are kids. She also thought a fine-dining experience would give them an opportunity to learn etiquette, which could come in happy as they get older. 'The passed hors d'oeuvres were very interesting because the children were wondering, could we take the whole tray or do we just take one off of the tray?' she said. 'So this was an educational opportunity as well because now they all know how to eat a four-course meal and the etiquette involved in that.'
The family named the event the First Annual Fowler Family Celebration of Love and are planning to host another one next year, getting sponsors involved. Mrs Fowler encouraged others do follow their example if for some reason they find an event they planned gets called off.'Events are canceled, and sometimes for unknown reasons. Do not allow that opportunity to go to waste. Call up your favorite charity. Give them an opportunity to use that for people that will not have an opportunity perhaps in life,' she said.

A fast Monte Carlo expectation-maximization algorithm for estimation in latent class model analysis with an application to assess diagnostic accuracy for cervical neoplasia in women with atypical glandular cells
Kang L, Carter R, Darcy K, Kauderer J, Liao SY
In this article, we use a latent class model (LCM) with prevalence modeled as a function of covariates to assess diagnostic test accuracy in situations where the true disease status is not observed, but observations on three or more conditionally independent diagnostic tests are available. A fast Monte Carlo expectation-maximization (MCEM) algorithm with binary (disease) diagnostic data is implemented to estimate parameters of interest; namely, sensitivity, specificity, and prevalence of the disease as a function of covariates. To obtain standard errors for confidence interval construction of estimated parameters, the missing information principle is applied to adjust information matrix estimates. We compare the adjusted information matrix-based standard error estimates with the bootstrap standard error estimates both obtained using the fast MCEM algorithm through an extensive Monte Carlo study. Simulation demonstrates that the adjusted information matrix approach estimates the standard error similarly with the bootstrap methods under certain scenarios. The bootstrap percentile intervals have satisfactory coverage probabilities. We then apply the LCM analysis to a real data set of 122 subjects from a Gynecologic Oncology Group study of significant cervical lesion diagnosis in women with atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance to compare the diagnostic accuracy of a histology-based evaluation, a carbonic anhydrase-IX biomarker-based test and a human papillomavirus DNA test.

This one is a little out of character for WWE and really solidifies the idea that Alberto Del Rio really pissed someone off in doing whatever he did that caused his release. (Or, if you're conspiracy-minded, that he isn't actually fired.) WWE's official Twitter account posted the following messages in reference to Del Rio being let go yesterday:
(1/2) @VivaDelRio is responsible for his own actions. If you're angry at anyone, be angry at Alberto.
— WWE (@WWE) August 8, 2014
(2/2) There's no excuse for a pro athlete not to conduct themselves in a professional manner.
— WWE (@WWE) August 8, 2014
WWE has never been one to address moves in this manner, but the very terse wording of the initial release announcement seemed out of place as well. That they referenced his Twitter account is a little odd too; it could be seen as either a way to directly make him aware of what they were saying (as you are notified of any direct mentions to your Twitter handle) or that they're still promoting him for some reason.
The latter may suggest to some that Del Rio is actually still employed and that this is some kind of angle where they're working the fans, except that WWE has always been very clear when releases or punishments such as Wellness violations are announced on WWE that they are not storyline. If this is a change in policy, it would seem an odd one and it would seem odd that they would either use his alleged assault against a WWE employee (or make up such an assault, if that's the case) as a kickstart to a storyline. It is worth noting that Del Rio has not, as of the time of this writing, changed his Twitter name from "Alberto Del Rio" which is a WWE-specific name. He has been moved to the alumni section of WWE.com.
All signs point to this being a legitimate firing and not some sort of angle.

OK, last one.
My family's financial situation is bordering on dire. Do you see this changing for the better anytime soon?
Thank you so much!
This all goes in line with the answers to your other two questions. I really feel like this is all energy misalignment. Truth misalignment. It carries an energy of suffering and surviving, which unfortunately many many people get stuck in.
The new paradigm is abundance...of money, friends, family, love.
Please find the self love...you so deserve it. I know you don't think you do, but you do. You don't have to live as a victim anymore. Release that attachment..it's not meant for you. It's like it's got a hold of the wrong person. You are vivacious and quirky. Unhappiness does not suit you at all (and hey, some people it really does, they like it). You are not one of those people.
So to make my answer clear, I basically see a whole life shift toward peace and joy and abundance if you do the work. The work, is whatever you want it to be, with whatever help you choose. But do it, b/c I promise you that if you do, you will have a lot of happiness.
If however, you choose to stay exactly in the space that you are in, things will not change much, for long. You can so do this!!!!
Hi Jamie,
Thank you so much. I really appreciate the time and thought you've put into these answers - and the question I asked a few months ago. You are so right, they all do tie together, including the one I asked a while go.
Although I wouldn't have described my situation exactly as you do, so much of it rings true, and I feel better- more confident - about some of the changes I am making over the next few months.
I do wish I had a follow up question, though, because one of your answers doesn't ring true for me the way the others do. The life shift you describe... I can totally see it totally feel it. But I can't see at all how my marriage fits into it. Or this particular marriage. I'll save your answer to that question and look at it again in a few months; what does ring true is that this isn't the time to make a decision, other work needs to be done first.
Thank you for this forum and am sorry to see it go.
The people that get the most out of their questions or a session with me are the ones that understand that it's not always so cut and dry.
Much love to you on your journey. I feel a lot of happiness and joy in it.

Considering the pros and cons of an innovative experiment.
A few weeks ago, I wrote an article in which I suggested that teams might benefit from going to a model that gets rid of the traditional starting pitcher. Instead of having five men who are expected to go 6-7 innings over 100 pitches, I suggested a model in which three pairs of pitchers each throw 50 pitches, and on the third day, they would pitch again, in fulfillment… I should stop there. I argued that a team that committed to that model could leverage a group of (cheap!) pitchers who were good for a couple innings, but not for six. In this way, a team could get the same sort of results that they might expect from having a bunch of pretty good starters, but for a fraction of the (David) Price.

2015 FLCX Power Ranking™ Edinburgh CX
Holy Moly, W.A.R. #1 in Lacootchie last weekend did not disappoint, and not only because I ended up on the podium. See, Hayes, I told you I'd find a way to mention that in the first sentence. You owe me a trip to the tiki bar. Actually, as an aside, Tim is getting ready to do his podcast live onstage in front of actual people as I type this, so he's probably super nervous and awkward with flop sweats right now, so you all owe me for painting that mental picture for you. You're welcome.
Wow, there was a lot of digressions in that paragraph. Where were we? Oh yeah, Lacootchie. So Josh Thornton managed to top himself again with one of the best courses ever in FLCX. It was simply brutal. And not just because of the heat, which was bad, but not as bad as the first week. The course was a masterpiece of bumpy grass fields, tricky downhill to uphill zig zags, more grass, some super sticky sand that was alternatively rideable one lap and then quicksand the next, some more grass, some more downhill, the best run up in Florida, (which was almost a non-factor this year) some super bumpy lumpy woods riding, a ditch crossing with a little mud at the bottom, a little deeper mud that kept getting deeper, some shallow but sticky and thick mud for about 20 meters, some soft grass, another muddy ditch crossing, a 100 meter SLOG/run/waddle through ankle deep cowshit flavoured mud, some more soft grass, another short section of soupy mud that was ridable if you hated your drivetrain, then this crazy toilet bowl off camber sequence that ended up forcing you to driveside dismount, some more slow lumpy bumpy woods, finally coming back out of the woods and dropping into and them popping back out of the ditch, all super off camber, then back onto the grass, out onto the pavement for a second, over the barriers, and finally back to start finish. I know I didn't break 10 minutes a lap, and it probably took me less time to ride it that it did to write it, so you get the idea. I thought it was too much during my pre-ride. I loved it at 20 minutes into the race. It was hard, it was tricky, and it made you drive your bike a lot. Kudos's, Josh.
Looking back at the volumes of data, one thing becomes clear, and that is that the Power Rankings™ have utterly failed to predict who will even show up that the next race, much less who is going to win, other than Ryan Woodall, and how hard is it to predict that happening right now? Historically, we've based them on the previous weekend's racing. But that only paints a picture of the past. We're trying to look into the future. What I do know is that the data is gibberish. Guys who were cat 3 last week are racing P12 the next and then back to Cat 3, Ava Sykes, a 12 year old girl, is winning the P123 woman's race and coming in third in the Men's 4/5 race, I can't even figure anything out anymore. But I will pull out the magic Power Ranking™ eight ball, drink the blue juice inside, and give you my predictions.
These rankings are 100% officially unofficial, infallible, unquestionably questionable, and obviously 1000% accurate. If you disagree, you're probably wrong. If you are angry that you weren't mentioned, or angry that you were mentioned, we suggest that you take a deep breath and remember that we're totally kidding about pretty much everything we say here. This is for your amusement as much as ours, and when I say ours, I mean every one of you. As always, please, no wagering.
1. Ryan Woodall (Top Gear / MuMu) | Pro1/2, SS | Last Rank: 3
Two convincing wins over Josh Thornton at Josh's home course are more than enough to vault Ryan back to the top of the heap. Still the nicest guy out there. Still our best hope at Nationals…
2. Ava Sykes (Wizard Racing Development Team P/B Wizard Coaching Services) | Junior women, W123 | Last Rank: nr
Except for Ava, who might be an even better lock for a stars and stripes jersey in Asheville. As mentioned a couple of paragraphs ago, I have no idea how Ava did what she did in Lacootchie, winning her own category and coming in third(!!!!) in Mens Cat 4/5(!!!) on Saturday, and following that up with a win in her own category AND Women's 123 on Sunday. That's four races on the toughest course we've ever raced on, and four podiums. And she just adopted a greyhound. D'awww.
3. Clint Gibbs (unattached) | Masters 45, Mens 3 | Last Rank: NR
Clint stacked up a couple of more wins this past weekend in M45. He only needs 5 more for a perfect season… If anyone can do it, it's Clint.
4. Steve Noble (Sarasota Cycling Club p/b SeaSucker) | Masters55, Cat3 | Last Rank: 8
pic by hawkdancer via facebook
Two more wins in 55 plus makes Steve the second most consistent Master's racer so far. Don't look now, Steve, but your nemesis Dan Sullivan was second both days.
5. Tic Bowen (B3 Cafe) | Master35, Pro1/2 | Last Rank: 1
Tic missed out on Lacootchie, so he plummets down the rankings, but he's pre-regged for Sunday, so I'm still predicting great things. And he makes sweet art you can buy if you like it!
6. Reed Legg (Unattached) | Junior 12-14 | Last Rank: NA
Reed showed up and beat the usual strongmen on both days in juniors, and that's good enough for me. Is he related to Mr. Katie Compton?
TIE 7. Chase Forman (Colavita) | Junior 15-18 | Last Rank: NA
TIE 7. Thomas Barbazuk (Unattached) | Junior 15-18 | Last Rank: NA
Chase and Thomas are mostly just beating on each other so far this year. Chase won on Saturday, and Thomas on Sunday. Thomas also beat me on Sunday. I passed Chase on the last lap as he was suffering from a nasty asthma attack, and he sounded like a million times worse than I did, wheezing and coughing and I pretty much figured once I went by him that he was gone. Alas, he wouldn't let me go, and indeed began pressuring me on the few remaining corners of the course. I led him through the concrete and over the barriers, and figured that as long as I got out of the final corner first that there was no way he could hang with my hopefully semi-impressive 42-11 sprint what with all of the hacking and choking and coughing and wheezing there was going on over my shoulder….
Sure enough the little jerk came around me with 10 feet to the line. Yeah, it wasn't for position, but still. Jerk Junior kids. This is going to be a fun race to watch the remainder of the season.
9. David Hahn (Steady Spin) | Cat 3 | Last Rank: TIE 5
So David was racing and winning/coming in second in the Cat4/5's the first weekend, and made the barest mention of sand when I included him in the power rankings, and then the guy just goes ahead and upgrades to 3, and then he even wins on Sunday! Impressive, in a field that has suffered from lack of interest the past couple of seasons. Seriously, guys, I'm a cat 3. You can beat me. It's not that bad.
10. Darla Woodall (Top Gear / MuMu) | W123 | Last Rank: NA
Up and coming. Fast connections. Nice.
We See You: John Will Tenney (god, do we see you); Stewart Mackie; Josh Thornton (sick, just got braces (how old is he?)); Mallory Bryan; Mark Chandler; Vitor Alexandre;
