Tips To Remember:
Use a steel measuring tape
Round down to the nearest 1/8" for width
Round up to the nearest 1/8" for height
See Product Specifications for more specific product info.
Sizes should always be provided in this format: Width x Height
On any measurement given, the factory does have a +/- 1/8 of an inch variance allowance.
Measure For Pleated Shades
Inside Mount Width
• Measure the exact width (left to right) of the inside edge of the window frame in three places (top, middle and bottom).
• Take the smallest of the three measurements to the nearest 1/8 of an inch.
• The factory will take an approximate 3/8 of an inch deduction from the total width (headrail and fabric) to allow for correct installation.
Inside Mount Height
• Measure the exact height (top to bottom) from the top inside edge down to the window sill in three spots across window.
• Take the largest of the three measurements.
Outside Mount Width
• Measure the exact width (left to right) of the wooden or metal window frame (outer edge) OR how wide you want the product to be.
• Be sure to measure wide enough as to cover the entire window plus offer enough coverage to avoid light or privacy gap. This is especially important if you have no trim and are installing to sheet rock or dry wall surface. 1-2 inches past the opening on EACH side is suggested if you do not have molding/trim.
• French doors-you should have a minimum of 1 inch past the glass on each side added to the glass measurement for coverage.
Outside Mount Height
• Measure the top and bottom edge of window frame/trim. If no trim, be sure you provide the height you want the shade to be from top of the headrail to bottom of the bottom rail.
• Be sure to allot for coverage for light control and mounting hardware if mounting above window opening to wall surface. You will need 2 inches of surface area to mount above opening. Call us for further instruction if needed.
• French doors-Be sure to add 2 inches for mounting above glass on surface of door for installation brackets and 2 inches below for hold down bracket install.-Call us for more information on this type of install.

Study: In overweight children, heart risks can start as early as 3
When children are overweight, heart health risk factors such as dangerous cholesterol levels and artery inflammation can start as early as age 3, according to a University of Miami study published in this week's medical journal Obesity.
"There's clearly a link between weight and cardiovascular risk," said Sarah Messiah, a UM research assistant professor and lead author of the study. "When a doctor sees an overweight child at age 3, he has to talk to the parents about it. The negative health processes are not 20 years down the road — they're already starting."
Added Steven E. Lipshultz, another author of the study and chair of pediatrics at the UM Medical School: "This is a new concept, since many have felt that although children are obese, the health consequences do not manifest clinically until they are older."
The new study updates a paper Messiah presented in 2009 at an American Heart Association meeting in Tampa. The information in the study is culled from health records of 3,644 3-to-6-year-old children from the 1999-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys, a nationwide databank.
Earlier studies had detected such problems, but mostly in children ages 8 and older. In the United States, 19 percent of children 2 to 18 are obese, and 30 percent are overweight, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"We're seeing lots of children at risk for becoming diabetic, and it can happen in their 20s instead of their 40s," Messiah said.
The UM study measured children's waist circumference and body-mass index (BMI), which is calculated from a person's height and weight and is considered a good indicator of fatness, according to the CDC.
"This is the first time it's been documented in a multi-ethnic group like this," Messiah said.

Growing up poor in the Philippines, I dreamed of a better life for my family and myself. My goal was either to have my own business or work for a reputable company as an accountant. My family was very supportive of my dreams and ambitions. My parents pushed me to be the best person I could be. However, not all were supportive. There were people who tried to pull me down; people who didn't believe I could make it.
I used all their negativity as my motivation to even push harder. However, it was difficult, especially when monetary resources were limited. The accountancy degree that I really wanted became an agri-business management degree. College was a struggle, having to work two jobs to help my father with all the finances. There were days when I only was able to eat one meal. At one point, I had to stop for a semester because money was so scarce.
But with all these challenges came my first feel of success. I obtained my college degree. My family, especially my father, was very proud of me being the first of seven siblings to graduate.
I then received a call from Accenture, a global professional services company, requesting me to apply to their company. I was very thrilled. I passed all the exams and interviews. I thought, "Yes, finally, I have a job. Life will soon be easier."
But no, working in IT and coming from an agribusiness management background was not a walk in the park. There were days I was crying, asking myself if I could do this. But I knew I had to overcome this challenge for my future and my family's future. And so I pushed and believed in myself. I tried to be a sponge, absorbing whatever people taught me and did a lot of self-learning.
Fast forward to today. It's been 11 years since I joined the company. Because of my hard work, I was given a lot of good opportunities including being sent to the United States for a temporary assignment and eventually being converted to a US-based employee. I plan to stay in this company for as long as I can. I feel that there are still a lot of things to learn with this growing organization. And I know there are a lot of people who are and will be very supportive in my adventure.
Part of this adventure is also helping others achieve their goals. Right now, I have two mentees who I help. If someone were to ask me what I would tell a child from a low-income family wanting a corporate career, I would say, "Go for it. Believe in yourself!" The corporate world might sound scary, but if you believe in yourself, nothing is a brick wall.

Burger Bash New York 2012
Scoring Sliders at Rachael Ray's Burger Bash
Scoring Sliders at Rachael Ray's Burger Bash
Friday night at the New York City Wine & Food Festival saw the return of Rachael Ray's biannual Burger Bash. With 3,000 people in attendance, it was the biggest Burger Bash ever held in New York. "They worked their patties off to give you thousands of patties!" Rachael reminded the crowd.
No doubt Burger Bash was hard work all around, as partygoers sampled 28 different pieces of beef. We couldn't tackle 'em all, but did notice a wide range of beefy buns from perfectly cooked to poorly executed. See what worked (and what didn't).

Loni Evans
Posted on January 11, 2012
Loni Evans was sunbathing nude and was looking smoking hot. Voodoo came by to pick up a hard drive from her brother. He accidentally saw her naked and that made Loni mad. She told him that the only way they would be even, was if he got naked as well or she would tell her brother. Voodoo had no choice but to oblige. Once he was naked, Loni wanted more. She told Voodoo she was 18 and soon after she was slurping his cock. She got her young pussy pounded and man juice all over her pretty face!

Baseball - a Modern Solution
Ken burns did a great job examining this complex issue in his recent update to his outstanding Baseball documentary - Baseball: the Tenth Inning.
Although it is clear now that McGuire and Sosa were obviously juiced during their amazing home run derby, the public was under a haze of denial. The story was too compelling to let shady accusations of drug use get in the way. Fans wanted heroes and they got them.
By 2002 however, things had changed. Accusations had become too many to overlook, and Bonds' sudden offensive explosion at the end of his career was too obvious to take at face value - not to mention his huge friggin' head! By the time Bonds went after the all-time career home run record in 2007 most of the country didn't want him to break it and the commissioner didn't even bother to attend the record-breaking game.
It was a strange time to be a Giants fan.
I never want any fan to have to go through that again. And I don't want any more Grand Jury or Senate inquisitions into the state of steroids in baseball, so I offer you a simple solution:
The Designated Steroids Hitter.
Think about it for a second. Wouldn't you love to see another season like 1998? Home runs jumping out of the ballparks. Previously scrawny utility infielders jacking obnoxiously huge bombs into center field. Endless hyped-up replays on ESPN. And all of it legal, out in the open and blessed by the league.
Here's how it works: Everyone on the team is drug-tested on the team except for one player. The Designated Steroids Hitter can do whatever he wants. Any kinda crazy souped-up concoctions dreamed up by Eastern European block countries in the 1980's are totally fine. Joe Canseco injections in bathroom stalls? - go for it! Cream & Clear? Bring em on! HGH? please, ingest 'em until you look like Andre the Giant. The more the merrier!
Then, once a batting order, you'll get to see some freakishly hulking michelin-man looking bobble-headed maniac jack impossibly long home runs into the feverishly screaming throngs of bleacher fans.
What could be more American than that?
Hey, I can dream can't I?...

Congratulations to your team in winning the World Series. They have converted me to a Giants fan with their fun performance in the postseason - I can't believe I've only recently learned of Lincecum, Posey and Brian Wilson. Brilliant fun, great team to watch, I wish them all the best for next year.ReplyDelete
And your thought is one I've had many times when considering baseball and especially boxing. If everyone is going to do it anyway, maybe there should be serious consideration given to somehow making it both legal and moderated, and perhaps safer for all involved.

Abraham Gallery to host Plains Art Association show
Wayland Baptist University's Abraham Art Gallery will host the Plains Art Association's 41st Spring Art Show and Sale May 27 - June 28.
Entries for the juried show will be accepted on May 20 from 3 - 7 p.m. at the gallery, located in the Mabee Learning Resources Center on the Wayland campus. Entries may include works in a variety of categories, from oil, acrylic, water media, pastels and graphics, to photography and other art forms (including fiber arts, textiles, jewelry, pottery and sculpture). All work must be original work completed in the last two years, and works completed under supervision such as a workshop or class are not eligible. Pieces previously exhibited in a PAA show are also not eligible.
Entry fees, payable to PAA, are $6 per entry for PAA members and $8 for non-members. Exhibitors may choose to offer their pieces for sale, with a commission charge going to the PAA.
A variety of honor awards and cash awards will be given in each category as well as some purchase awards provided by local patrons. The show is also sponsored in part by a grant from the Plainview Cultural Arts Council.
"Plains Art Association Spring juried Show is supported by a number of area businesses and individuals who provide memorial awards and purchase awards for artists," said Dr. Candace Keller, show chairman and art professor at Wayland. "The Plainview community has always given great support to the arts, and Wayland is delighted to host the exhibit this year."
Dr. Emilio Caballero, former chair of the art department at West Texas A&M University, will serve as juror for the show. He has received many honors both as an artist and art educator. He will present a critique for interested entrants at 2 p.m. on May 25. For more information on the PAA show, contact Keller at 291-1083 or co-chair Lil Nicholl at 293-1946.

The Denver Broncos will be without Joel Dreessen for the rest of the offseason after the veteran tight end underwent arthroscopic surgery on his knee.
"Just a little knee procedure -- scope -- done, just to clean it up," Broncos coach John Fox told reporters Thursday, per The Denver Post.
Every operation is categorized as minor in May, but Dreessen sounds like a go for training camp. In the meantime, his absence provides a chance for fellow tight end Julius Thomas to make an impact.
Thomas missed most of his rookie season in 2011 before going under the knife in April 2012 to repair ligaments in his right ankle. He has appeared in just nine games over the past two seasons, but the Broncos are using Thomas on passing downs in Dreessen's absence.
"It's been a good deal for Julius," Fox said.
The Broncos also have Jacob Tamme and Virgil Green on the roster, but they haven't given up on 24-year-old Thomas, largely because (like other basketball players-turned-tight end) he brings a long, lean frame that could drive defenses nuts -- if he can stay on the field.

Big news! During the 1st day of Kyushu Tour they announced HKT48 Team KIV and it's captain! This is a list of the new teams!:D
Tag Archives: Oota Aika
Member's introduction (Team H)
Some people might be hesitant to give away their votes away probably because they don't know the girls well enough. So here's a mini post about every member of Team H. I'll try to post some interesting facts that are not so well known to other people too. Hopefully one or two member will catch your eye. 😀
Anai Chihiro
- The captain of Team H, also known as Cap (Kyappu).
- Even though she's captain, she's known to be a ponkotsu.
- Lead in both dramas starring HKT48.
- Does classical ballet
- Fav quote: "Honestly, we didn't have any confidence at all during our Shonichi. But I believe in Takahashi Minami-san's "Effort will always be rewarded". And we, HKT48, are a team that will keep trying our best as long as we can." -HKT48 121126 LOD (1st anniversary)
Cap is certainly one of my favorites. She plays guitar but is not good at it. Although, recently she has gotten better thanks to her dad who is teaching her. She's also known as the richest member within the group. Example of her being a ponkotsu is during roll calls she would go "There's one person not here!" and then finding out she forgot to count herself. Sometimes she's surprised that there's an extra member only to found out she counted the manager as well. She's certainly not on the same level as Takamina or Sayanee captain-wise but she's still young and has plenty of time to learn. She's loved by members and staffs, which I'm certain is what made the management appoint her as captain.
Ueki Nao
- Has a protruding chin and some say her face looks like a Shinkansen (Japanese bullet train)
- Teased character
- Tree for Russian monkey
- Fav quote: "When I grow up, I want to be someone who is cheerful like Miyazawa Sae-san. I want to be an adult that is kind towards other people around her." -HKT48 LOD 130114
Ueki is hidden gem for variety shows. She shines the most in Korekara thanks to her rapport with the MC, Abe. Out of all the member that was drop out of senbatsu for the 2nd single, I felt sad for Ueki the most. She has a certain quality that makes you want to cheer for her. She also likes attaching her names to simple greetings. Like Arigatou (Thank you) becomes Arigatoueki. Every time she does this in theater it is received rather coldly by fans which prompted Murashige to say that Ueki is like the past Murashige (Because she's not gaining any laughs). Which prompt Wakatabe or Moriyasu to retort with, "More like the current Murashige". Murashige and Ueki is like one of my favorite pairing together because they are so damn cute. XD
Oota Aika
- Hakata's big sis
- Former member of AKB48
- Best friends with Mayuyu
- Member of Watarirouka Hashiritai (7)
- Fav quote: "When I transferred to HKT48, there was a time where I thought it would be hard for me to make friends. But thanks to members who have weird characters like Murashige, I was able to get used to HKT48. And when I did hi-touch with the fans, everyone welcomed me that it made me feel glad I came to Hakata." – HKT48 121214 LOD (Lovetan's birthday)
Better known as Rabutan or Lovetan. Her original catchphrase when she joined HKT48 was "Hakata! Hakata! Hakata! Oota!" but she finds it too weird so she stopped. Back in AKB, she was known as a Tsundere character but gave up that character and is now known as HKT's Big sis. Lovetan made a nice transition from being the pampered child in AKB to the reliable big sister HKT. She often takes a step back so that other members can shine. It's no wonder the Hakata fans have accepted and love her. Oh, and she hates bugs. Like, really hate it.
Kumazawa Serina
- Nickname is Riinu
- Arguably the best dancer in HKT
- Considered the most stylish and fashionable in the group
- Good friends with Boss
- Fav quote: "The song I love most is UZA because isn't the dance amazing? I've been learning dancing for the past 6 years, even in HKT48 I have the privileged to be the dance leader. This kind of dance song would make me stand out the most so this song is my favorite." -HKT48 130322 LOD
For me, Riinu is one of the best performer in the group all thanks to her dancing skills. According to her mom, Riinu always watch stage DVDs at home, trying to learn the dance moves. Often practicing on her own well into midnight. She has this terribly infectious smile that makes you wanna smile automatically. She also performs as center in a few performances.
Kodama Haruka
- Gain more support after losing her center position
- Has a lisp but very eloquent in her G+ posts
- Concurrent AKB48 Team A member
- Fav quote: "When I was in a club in middle school, I heard the words: "Just talent can't win against effort". I don't really have any talent, but I can put in a great effort." – Haruppi's G+ 121228
Ah.. our fallen center. I think everything that could have been said about Haruppi is already in this post. Her situation is one of the unique ones out of all the sister groups. The chosen center but was outranked by Sakura in the elections, and when Meru came was pushed back to make way for our 2nd Gen center. You don't see that happen to Acchan, Jurina/Rena or Sayanee/Milky. But this whole debacle really put Haruppi on the map and just like a phoenix, she rose back from the ashes. Stronger than ever. She still has the lisp tho.
Sashihara Rino
- Was transferred to HKT because of a scandal
- #1 in AKB Sousenkyo
- A member of Not Yet
- A huge idol wota
- Hetare Scandal Troll Variety Queen
- Fav quote: "Even though there's NMB and SKE, I want to make HKT the best team of all." – AKB48 Documentary No Flower without Rain
Oh Sasshi. Where do I start? I was following Sasshi waaay back during her AKB days since we have the same Kami Oshi in Morning Musume. I think of her like a fellow comrade rather than an idol. Sasshi is basically the main reason why I took notice of HKT in the first place. Would HKT48 achieve the same amount of popularity they gotten now without Sasshi? Probably. But not as fast. Sasshi just sped up their popularity by being there and in turn, brought attention to other members as well. Being a huge HKT48 fan now, I can't help but to feel grateful to Sasshi. A year ago, if the scandal didn't happen. If Sasshi had stayed in AKB48, I think the fact that she would get #1 in Sousenkyo would be very unlikely. Now every time I think of Sasshi, I think of HKT48. She really took on the role as mentor and guidance for the kids. And I love her for that. This useless hetare person is now one of the main pillars in HKT48. And I find that amazing. Thank you, Sasshi.
Shimono Yuki
- Variety member of the group
- A great dancer like Riinu
- Okay with bugs but not haunted houses
- Fav quote: "The thing that I want the most is aura." – HKT48 121210 LOD
Shinamon is a member that went through a lot of character changes. She went from the "I love matcha (green tea)!" character to the "Black hearted" character to the "Glutton" character and now she is more known as the variety character. But with the emergence of 2nd Gen, her variety spot is being overshadowed by the much more outspoken Tani. She even lost her senbatsu spot for the second single. She's not wrong for wanting an aura because right now she lacks presence the most. She's practicing her MC in stage shows (she's moderating the MC after Tengoku Yarou unit in Hakata Legend) hoping to follow the Minegishi route (minus the shaving) as Miichan is her Oshimen.
Tanaka Natsumi
- Hakata's Boss
- A good tsukkomi to pair with Murashige's boke
- Gain 500 comments in just a few minutes when her G+ opened
- One of HKT representatives for the Janken tournament
- Has performed more than 300 times at the theater (The most out of all Team H members)
- Fav quote: "With our abilities, let's survive the tough world of show business together. Let's be the best idol group that won't lose to anyone!" – HKT48 130810 LOD
If I have to take a bet on who will be the next Sasshi, I would pick Boss hands down. She had the "youngest in the group" and "elementary schooler" image for a while but the Boss character was her big break. A 12 year old as the boss of Hakata? Genius. She's so boss, she moderated her own birthday stage. Twice. It's unprecedented even in AKB. Just recently turned 13, she's also one of the tall members of HKT. Not to mention she's sharp and quick witted for a 13 year old. And being 13 meaning she's has a lot of time to further polish her skills and character. I believe Boss is going to be one of the main members of HKT and I can't wait to see it.
Nakanishi Chiyori
- Funny
- Reached 3rd round of R-1
- Best friend with Tani since middle school
- Fav quote: "Because I'm always doing my best in my performances, I don't have any regrets at all. That's right. Keep on shining." – HKT48 130216 LOD
Chori's gags could beat even the most experienced comedians, further proved by her accomplishments of reaching the third round of R-1. Not only does she does not mind being teased, in fact, she welcomes it. Chori really shines in HKT Variety 48 where she has her own segment like TYORI RAP. And she's serious about her comedy acts, further proved by her frustration at herself in the Hyakkaten season 1 bonus DVD and her mini R-1 documentary in Korekara.
Matsuoka Natsumi
- Originally HKT's #2 right behind Haruppi
- Pushed back when Sakura ranked
- Capable of handling all sort of work be it singing or variety
- A hidden gem
- Fav quote: "When I was 5 or 6, for a vacation, the place we went had a lower elementary school nearby. Looking at all the cute kids just made me grin to myself. I wonder if that led to the birth of my "Tabetai~" (I wanna eat~) phrase." – HKT48 121009 LOD
Natsu, for me, is one of the prettiest members of HKT48. She gets a lot of photoshoot offers because she's a natural at it. She's lovey dovey with all the members in HKT, particularly 2nd Gen Ito Raira. She also attacks the lolis of group (it used to be Aoi but now it seems she's concentrating on Yukachan). She is often paired up with Moriyasu in performances.
Miyawaki Sakura
- Amazing Cinderella story
- Only HKT to rank in the 27th single Sousenkyo
- Was in UZA Senbatsu
- Carries 3 bears in her bag; Brownie, Cocoa-chan and Tiramisu (Recently acquired a fourth bear, White Brownie)
- Fav quote: "HKT48 is the furthest group from the disaster area. But even then I hope our cheers and smiles could reach everyone in the affected areas." – HKT48 130311 East Japan Earthquake Reconstruction special performance
I love Sakura. She's an example story of how ranking in Sousenkyo can really change your life. More people took notice of her including the management. She has amazing drawing skills. Amazingly bad. Hailing from Kagoshima, she is often compared with Kashiwagi Yuki who is from the same place. Her overreaction skills are already legendary. She's good friends with Murashige and is often the victim of her Murashigeharassments.
Murashige Anna
- If Sakura dabbles with the A-list members of AKB
- Murashige is friends with the B-list
- Starred Majisuka Gakuen 3
- Too crazy at times
- Has a dinosaur plushie caled Kevin
- Center of her own made up Guigui Senbatsu
- Fav quote: "If we look at the costume's label (for Kataomoi no Karaage), the costume department wrote just the personalities of members there. Like for instance, Sakura's costume is written "Serious", Mariri has "Likes anime", Aichan has "Tsundere". But when I look at my costume somehow the word "Giant" is written there." – HKT48 130312 LOD
Also known as Russian Monkey. That nickname really took off, huh? Hahaha. She's crazy. That's undeniable. In variety shows, you have to be a little crazy to get screentime. But she's damn shy in real life and in school and that gap just makes me want to go to Japan and pat her head. She aspires to be an entertainer one day and always wear the "Aspiring geinin" t-shirt. It's hardly a secret that she's my HKT oshimen. She has a huge heart and is passionate in everything.
Motomura Aoi
- One of the more popular members without any push
- Crybaby
- Aoi & Sakura make a very popular paring. Especially when 'Aoi' means 'blue' and 'Sakura' means 'pink'
- Fav quote: "I had always been a crybaby since I was small. When there's a dance move I couldn't do, I'll cry out of frustration. Whenever I feel alone, I will cry. When we first had our lesson, I was thinking of cleaning up the lesson room. But when I entered the room, Wakatabe was there. I was so surprised I left the room in a hurry and cried." – HKT48 121030 LOD
Aoi is the baby face in the group. Always doted by Sasshi. She also adores Tomochin a lot. I kinda want to see Aoi and Mio do a duet so that I can gush at the cuteness of it all. She cries so much in variety shows it has come to a point that it became funny. XD She's also the only member to gained 3 oshimen badges in Hakata Hyakkaten which proves how popular she is even among the sister groups.
Moriyasu Madoka
- Princess image
- Good at playing the piano
- Has her own radio show
- Fav quote: "Everyone, oshi-mashi is good but oshihen is not allowed, okay?" (Oshi-mashi = push oshimen more, oshihen = Change oshimen) – HKT48 121002 LOD
Considered a real beauty in HKT. She dreams to be a model one day and I believe she can totally pull it off. She also has a perfect pitch. Along with Boss, they are trying to fatten themselves up since they feel like they're too thin. Despite her serious looks, she actually has a cute side to her at home. Stories like holding her mother's hand while sleeping and sleeping with teddy bears. Even Shinamon's dad who is a Madoka oshi went to her handshake event.
Wakatabe Haruka
- Originally the baseball daughter character
- Overtime developed and polish her tsukkomi skill
- Great gaya (noisy character in the background)
- Fav quote: "I'm saving my New Year's money for college." – HKT48 130107 LOD
She's good friends with AKB's Kuramochi Asuka because of their "daughter of a baseball figure" background. She's considered one of the most better tsukkomi (people who come out with retorts) in the group. Loves her family too much. Many may not know it but she was friends with 2nd Gen Kusaba Manami even before she entered HKT48 since they were both from the same dance school. She also is in charge with a lot of their MC segments.
I hope you guys enjoy reading it! Sorry if it was too long. 😀
121118 HaKaTa Hyakkaten ep07
Dear HaKaTa Hyakkaten, how can you show me this in the previews..
… and not showing it in the actual episode? How dare you!
This is going to end up in the DVDs right? You money grabber you.
This episode is definitely the longest I ever sub something. First half was awesome with Mocchi's pervertness but the second half was just a lot of talking. That took awhile. A long while.
Also, Lovetan is joining us from this episode onward.
Just one note, Chin chin densha is actually a tram/streetcar that got its name because of the bell that it rang (hence the "chin chin" or "ding ding/ding dong"). But "chin chin" is also a slang word for male genitalia. That's why I translated it as such (you'll find out when you watch). Kojiharu used to say it in Ariyoshi AKB Kyowakoku.
Upcoming episodes have Akicha, Milky and Sayaka coming. I personally can't wait for Sayaka's episode! Finally, new Hyakkaten episode next week!
For the first time, my sub is not the most ridiculous thing in HaKaTa Hyakkaten. Thank you, Mocchi and your wonderful ear fetish.
I rate this sub 100% "Hentai Mocchi".

Head coach Bill Taylor has announced the addition of nine student-athletes for next season's women's track and field team. Three will join the squad strictly in a track and field position, joining six signees announced Thursday that will also contribute in cross country.
"Our women's track & field team adds three athletes, mainly helping out in the field event areas," said assistant coach Luke Syverson. "All three have won individual state championship titles in their events."
Pole vaulter Keeley Baskin (Lakeland, Tenn./Harding Academy) is one of the top pole-vaulters in the state. She has finished top-five on three occasions at the State Championships, including a victory in 2010. She is the school-record holder in the event.
From the Harding Academy in Searcy, Ark., Braeghtyn McAleese was the 2011 3A discus state champion as a junior. She took runner-up in 2012 and was fourth in the shot put, leading her team to the second of back-to-back state championship titles.
Jumper Bethany Imperial (Wapato, Wash./Riverside Christian) is a two-time state champion (2011-12) and four-time qualifier in the triple jump, as well as the school record-holder. She has placed in the top-10 in the state in the long jump, 400m dash, 100m hurdles, 300m hurdles and all three relay events.
"Keeley instantly improves our women's vault group, which is very exciting," Taylor said. "Bethany helps us a ton in horizontal jumps, and Braeghtyn adds depth to our throws."
Syverson is eager to work with the trio in the field events.
"Bethany Imperial will be able to help out in a few areas and might be a strong multi event athlete for us in the future," Syverson said. "I know our throwers are excited to welcome Braeghtyn to their group and Keeley adds strength right away to our vaulters and will look to add points at the conference level as a freshman."
Personal Bests (Event in parentheses)
Keeley Baskin: 11' 6" (Pole Vault)
Kayla Droessler: 11:39s (3000m)/5:26s (1600m)
Bethany Imperial: 17' (Long Jump)/36' 2" (Triple Jump)/17.26s (100m hurdles)/47.79s (300m hurdles)
Alex Justice: 11:54s (3200m)/5:25s (1600m)

In Video: Dave Philipps' wife, Amanda, raises her phone with Dave on the end next to Editor Joe Hight and photographer Michael Ciaglo. Philipps was out of town when the Pulitzer Prize was announced.
The Gazette was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in National Reporting on Monday for "Other Than Honorable," Dave Philipps' three-day investigative series last year that examined how soldiers injured during war were being discharged without benefits.
The Pulitzer is journalism's most prestigious honor; the series was recognized in the category of national reporting. It's the second Pulitzer in The Gazette's 142-year history.
"Disbelief," Philipps said via telephone from Washington D.C., minutes after he learned of the award. "We didn't do this work for any recognition. With what we were able to achieve without it, we would have been thrilled. To have national recognition, with what we were able to do and at a medium-sized newspaper and for this issue, is amazing."
The Gazette published "Other than Honorable" from May 19-21 in print and on gazette.com. The series used Army data to show that the number of soldiers being discharged for misconduct annually had surged to its highest level since 2009 at posts with the most combat troops.
Some of those soldiers who were discharged had come home from combat with post-traumatic stress disorder or traumatic brain injuries, then committed offenses that likely were linked to those "invisible injuries." They then were denied benefits because their misconduct resulted in them receiving "other-than-honorable" discharges.
The report suggested several factors were related to the soldiers' discharges, including a mandatory troop reduction; an overwhelmed medical discharge process; and decades-old Army policies that didn't always accommodate or account for behavior resulting from injuries suffered by today's soldiers.
"Other than Honorable" included interviews with discharged soldiers, some of whom said they felt betrayed after suffering physical and emotional wounds in their service to the Army — yet were thrown out for misconduct and stripped of benefits.
"These guys, they opened their lives to us at their darkest time," Philipps said. "I think they did it not for themselves, but because they knew it was happening to other people as well. I commend them. I thank them. There would be nothing if they had not been willing to trust us."
Gazette Editor Joe Hight said the Pulitzer was deeply gratifying for Philipps, The Gazette staff and the news organization as a whole. The project showcased teamwork that involved reporting, editing and a multimedia presentation in print and on-line, he said.
"What makes it even more important to me is that we were honored in national reporting," Hight said. "That's what we dedicated to do with this story. Even though it was one that was deeply personal and local, it was also a national story, something that was disturbing to find how these heroic soldiers were being treated and how attention needed to be paid to them.
"Ultimately," Hight said, "the story here was about the soldiers themselves. That's the focus of the story. How these soldiers had been on multiple deployments, some awarded for their bravery, yet when they come back with these invisible injuries such as traumatic brain injury and PTSD, it's a difficult situation for the military to deal with. But ultimately, they deserve our utmost respect and we need to take care of them. And that's what we kept hearing over and over again from people in the military. We need to take care of them."
The series prompted a call for action among some members of Congress. After the publication of "Other than Honorable," Sen. Michael Bennet and Rep. Mike Coffman, both of Colorado, introduced amendments to study the surge of troops discharged from the Army for minor misconduct. However, those amendments were stripped out of the National Defense Authorization Act in December.
Ryan McKibben, president and CEO of Denver-based Clarity Media Group, The Gazette's owner, said the company was proud of the award for national reporting.
"It is an honor that shows our commitment to outstanding investigative journalism of issues important to our community as well as those which have implications nationwide," McKibben said. "'Other Than Honorable' was a heart-wrenching project that was tough to tell, but was one that was very important for soldiers who served this country."
Other Gazette staff members also were lauded for their work on the series.
Hight and Philipps praised Gazette Managing Editor Joanna Bean; she and Philipps worked together for months on the planning, reporting, writing and editing of the series.
"Without her guts, without her smarts, none of this would have ever happened," Philipps said of Bean. "She's a real credit to journalism."
Gazette photographer Michael Ciaglo's poignant photos and videos of discharged soldiers accompanied Philipps' series. Former Gazette staffer Chris Hickerson created a web page that presented the series in a digital format, with extras that included photo galleries, interactive graphics, videos and additional documents.
Philipps also was a 2010 Pulitzer finalist in the local reporting category for his series "Casualties of War," on combat soldiers at Fort Carson returning from war and committing violence in Colorado Springs.
The announcement of this year's Pulitzer Prizes came shortly after 1 p.m. Monday. Knowing that Philipps' series was a contender, Hight and Bean met behind closed doors to watch for the news on Hight's computer.
After learning Philipps had won, they asked staffers to gather in a conference room and announced the news. Staffers responded with cheers and applause, while Ciaglo popped the cork on a bottle of champagne he had been given by Hight.
Philipps couldn't attend the announcement, however. He was at Reagan National Airport after being in Washington on Sunday as one of four finalists for the Michael Kelly Award, which is given annually in honor of the editor of The Atlantic and National Journal who was killed while covering the Iraq War in 2003. Philipps didn't win that award.
At Monday's staff meeting, Hight and Online/Website News Editor Jerry Herman unsuccessfully tried to reach Philipps via Skype. Philipps' wife, Amanda, had come to The Gazette newsroom in anticipation of the announcement; she reached her husband via her mobile phone, and Philipps spoke with staffers on an impromptu conference call.
After returning to the Springs, Philipps arrived at The Gazette about 8:50 p.m. to a second round of applause from his colleagues, many of whome came back to the newsroom to celebrate. He offered high-fives, and then uncorked a second bottle of champagne as he toasted his colleagues.
The Pulitzer for national reporting carries a $10,000 prize. Pulitzer judges recognized "Other than Honorable" for "expanding the examination of how wounded combat veterans are mistreated, focusing on loss of benefits for life after discharge by the Army for minor offenses, stories augmented with digital tools and stirring congressional action."
Two entries from the Wall Street Journal were finalists for the national reporting award.
Other Pulitzer winners in journalism categories were The Guardian US, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, The Center for Public Integrity, the Tampa Bay Times, Reuters, the Detroit Free Press, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Oregonian, The Charlotte Observer and The New York Times.
The Gazette also received a Pulitzer in 1990 when reporter Dave Curtin won the feature writing award for his report about the will to live of two area children severely burned in a propane gas explosion.

Dave Philipps, an investigative reporter for The Gazette, has focused many of his stories on the military in the Pikes Peak region, which is home to Fort Carson, the Air Force Academy, Peterson Air Force Base and other installations.
In 2010, Philipps was a Pulitzer finalist in the local reporting category for his series "Casualties of War," which detailed combat soldiers at Fort Carson returning from war and committing violence in Colorado Springs.
Over the last year, he's reported on an Air Force Academy program of cadet informants. His recent work has included stories about Colorado Springs Utilities' purchase of a controversial emissions scrubbing system and the El Paso County Sheriff's Office.
Philipps, 36, is a Springs native who's always had a connection to The Gazette. He was born at St. Francis Hospital, across the street from the newspaper's former offices at Pikes Peak Avenue and Prospect Street. His first job at The Gazette was as a newspaper carrier in the 1980s.
Philipps graduated from Fountain Valley School. He received a bachelor's degree from Middlebury College in Vermont in 2000 and a master's degree from Columbia University in New York in 2002.
He joined The Gazette that year as a summer intern, and later worked in Boulder before being hired full-time by The Gazette in 2003. He and his wife, Amanda, live in the Springs with their two children.

The Year of Wishful Thinking
This January, for the first time in many years, I feel no need to make a New Year's Resolution. To understand the significance of this, you have to understand that I have made New Year's Resolutions ever since I can remember. Every year, I've vowed to change my life and achieve a laundry list of goals in the process. Because I'm a determined individual, I usually succeed at effecting change. I've published books, transitioned from one role to another, and traveled thousands of miles across the globe, all thanks to past New Year's Resolutions.
So why the lack of resolution this year? Why the absence of desire? In part, at least, I think it's thanks to Autism After 16. Rather than having a specific resolution this year, I'd like to have a theme, something that informs the rest of my goals. Since we've already introduced 2012 as The Year of the Aspie, I'd like to introduce my take on the concept: The Year of Wishful Thinking. To quote that editorial, it's the year of, "I choose to believe it can happen." I mean this not be naïve, but to be hope-filled. I want permission to be full of wishes again. I want to pay attention to facts and realities, yes, but I also want to let myself dream bigger. It's child-like wonder that I want to recapture in my days; it's confident trust that I want to embody.
In this theme, I have no better teacher than my family members. First, I think of my brother, Willie. Willie doesn't make a secret of the things he hopes for. When asked, Willie will tell you with confidence that he wants our family to have another dog, and he might even suggest a specific breed. In the same way, Willie used to tell me that he wanted to go back to his former high school. It was a desire that broke my heart, since he wasn't able to stay at the school due to behavioral challenges. Yet even though Willie knew it wasn't likely to happen, he didn't give up hoping. He didn't give up wishing, and I think that's part of why he's able to work at a day support program now. He knows the pain of a dream deferred, and he knows not to take a school or job for granted.
In the same way, when I felt hope was lost for Willie to live at home safely, my mother and father didn't give up wishing that Willie could still be a part of our family. They spent countless hours (and countless dollars) to help him move through his challenges, and they're still doing so today. When I look at their lives, I see that real love is always like that, always hoping, always persevering.
My family members are the reasons for my year of Wishful Thinking, but there's a bit more to the story of the picture above. Last year, I attended a seminar wherein participants created collages of images that spoke to them. At the end of the day, I kept just a small corner of the larger whole, the part that was most significant for me. In this part of the collage, I pasted a background with the words "Wishful Thinking" next to two pictures: one of me a toddler, the other of me as a matron of honor in a 2010 wedding. My 25-year-old self looks like my younger self thanks to the fact that as the wedding party recessed, the guests blew bubbles. When they did, the little girl within the grownup was entranced. Lastly, there's a picture of a piece of jewelry pictured in the corner. It's a necklace by Jeanine Payer, with a gold and silver butterfly pendant. The inscription is a quote from the poet Rumi: "Dance when you're broken open / Dance when you're perfectly free."
That lovely necklace: Over $1,200. Having a family that helps me to believe in dreams come true, in a wish come clear: Priceless.

A buttery version of the weeknight special based on the classic from Napa Valley's famous restaurateur Cindy Pawlcyn.
Three-Cheese Mac & Cheese, Mustards Grill, Yountville, Calif.
Chef Cindy Pawlcyn grew up enduring Minnesota's frigid winters and fondly remembers taking a pan of macaroni and cheese out of the oven, wrapping it tightly in foil, then trudging into the nearby woods to devour it with her dad. "It was 20 below and you could hardly move your arms," she says. "But the dish retained its heat and was so good to eat."
Is it any wonder that mac and cheese has a place of honor on her menu at Mustards Grill on the edge of Yountville in California's Napa Valley (707-944-2424, mustardsgrill.com)? Indeed, it became a staple side dish—and the best-selling one—a few years ago. Diners go through as many as 45 orders a day, even during the balmy summer.
"Everyone relates it to childhood memories," says Executive Chef Dale Ray. "You take a bite and you instantly go there."
Mustards' version gives Ray a chance to showcase California cheeses. Throughout the year, he'll switch up the cheeses and pasta. Most of the time the pasta is penne, but now and then it'll be rigatoni or orecchiette. Gruyère is a staple, but goat cheese has proved a real crowd pleaser. His newest interpretation incorporates Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company's Toma, a cow's-milk cheese with a buttery texture and a grassy tang.
Sometimes, however, the dish is made with a mix of white cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan. It also incorporates a classic béchamel sauce for richness. Sure, making mac and cheese from scratch takes more time than just opening up the familiar blue box. But the creamy, dreamy results speak for themselves.
Mustards Grill's Three-Cheese Mac & Cheese
Serves 4 to 6 as a side dish
Adapted with permission from the recipe by chefs Cindy Pawlcyn and Dale Ray of Mustards Grill
Béchamel sauce:
1 ¼ cups whole milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Rest of the dish:
1 cup heavy cream
¾ cup béchamel sauce
¾ pound penne pasta
½ cup grated white cheddar cheese
½ cup grated Gruyère cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan
Butter for greasing the dish
¼ cup dry bread crumbs
Snipped chives or chopped fresh parsley leaves, for garnish
To make the béchamel:
1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the milk to a gentle simmer just below the boiling point.
2. In another medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and stir for a couple of minutes until the raw flour smell dissipates. Do not let the mixture color; it should stay pale looking.
3. Whisk the flour-and-butter mixture into the scalded milk, allowing it to cook until thickened, about 10 minutes.
4. Season the sauce with salt, nutmeg, and cayenne, then strain it through a fine sieve to remove any lumps. Measure out ¾ cup of the sauce and return it to the pan.
To assemble the dish:
1. Add the heavy cream to the saucepan of béchamel, and heat the mixture over medium heat until warmed through.
2. Preheat oven to 400°F.
3. Cook the penne in a large pot of salted water over high heat until it is just a little firmer than al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and add it to the pot of béchamel-cream. Add the cheddar and Gruyère, and mix well. Taste the seasonings and adjust if necessary.
4. Butter a gratin dish. Add the pasta to the dish. Sprinkle the top with the Parmesan and bread crumbs.
5. Bake for about 20 minutes or until browned and bubbly. Garnish with snipped chives or chopped fresh parsley.

The man with a habit of promising but not delivering ass whippings finally has followed through.
Allegedly. And unfortunately.
Through all of the trouble Chad Johnson has caused in his career, he always had been able to say that he never had gotten into any trouble off the field. And apart from the rare lawsuit for, for example, promising to give away a car but failing to do so, Chad never had been arrested.
That feather has now been removed from his cap. Given that it comes at a time when his football career is sliding dangerously toward oblivion, the charge that he has assaulted his wife could bring it all to an end.
Already regarded by some as a Hard Knocks-driven publicity stunt, Johnson has brought to the Dolphins the kind of publicity they never wanted. Thus, in order to salvage any credibility with the women they hope will want to come to their games (and/or with the females who own a piece of the franchise, like Venus and Serena Williams, Gloria Estefan, and Fergie), the Dolphins need to sever ties with Johnson — if after conducting a swift and thorough investigation the team concludes that Johnson did indeed commit violence against the woman he married barely a month ago.
Though nothing excuses the behavior, if the allegations are true, it could be that Chad is feeling a very high level of stress right now, sensing that maybe he won't be a member of the Dolphins once the regular season begins.
His fears could be coming to fruition sooner than he or anyone else ever expected.

• The vent mount is not receiving enough current (make sure that you have connected the vent mount to the mophie car charger that was supplied with it; do not use a different USB car charger).How do I wirelessly charge my devices?
After connecting and mounting the charge force vent mount as shown in the quick-start guide, simply place a device with charge force technology against it. The vent mount will securely hold the device and automatically align it for a proper charge. Wireless charging will automatically begin when the device is aligned on the vent mount. If you're charging a compatible juice pack case with a phone inside of the case, the juice pack case and phone will charge together.Is it OK to run the heater or the air conditioner while the charge force vent mount is attached to the vent? DO NOT DIRECT HEATED AIR FROM THE VENT ONTO THE VENT MOUNT WHILE IT IS ATTACHED TO THE VENT—this can damage the vent mount and a docked device. When running the vehicle's heater, completely close the vent the vent mount is attached to, or direct the heated air out of the vehicle's lower vents and entirely away from the upper vents.
It is OK to direct cool (air-conditioned) air from the vent onto the vent mount while it is attached to the vent.

Hublot Spirit of Big Bang
Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Automatic Titanium Multi-Coloured Dial Unisex Watch 641.NM.0173.LR
Swiss made, 42mm, automatic movement. titanium, multi-coloured dial, sapphire crystal glass, black alligator strap, Titanium and Black-plated Titanium Deployment Buckle Clasp, water resistant up to100 metres, 2 years manufacturer warranty.
A movement or calibre is the inner heart of the watch, the internal mechanism or engine which acts as a powerhouse for the watch. There are many different types of movement, but they essentially fall into two categories: Mechanical or Quartz.
There are two types of mechanical movement: Automatic and Hand-Wound. Mechanical movements are considered very desirable in fine watchmaking due to the skill required to make them, building on centuries of craftsmanship and assembled my master watchmakers.Many luxury watch brands now develop their own in-house calibres, which are called in-house movements. This shows the skill and quality of a particular watch manufacturer.
Automatic is used to describe a self-winding mechanical watch and is the most popular mechanical movement used by watchmakers. An automatic watch is wound by the movement of the wrist and as long as you wear the watch regularly, it will rarely need to be manually wound.An automatic watch uses energy from the mainspring to power the watch, rather than a battery. This energy is created by a rotor which turns in response to the wearer's movement.
Hand Wound
Hand-wound is used to describe a hand-wound mechanical movement and is the oldest type of watch movement on the market.A hand-wound movement needs to be manually wound in order to create energy in the watch's mainspring to power the watch. This is done by turning the crown multiple times and the mainspring will then slowly release energy.Winding intervals for a manual or hand-wound watch will depend on the capacity of the power reserve, which could be from 24 hours to a week or so.
Quartz is used to describe a battery powered watch movement and is an electrical watch mechanism celebrated for its accuracy and minimal maintenance required, apart from changing the battery.A battery sends an electrical current via a small quartz crystal, electrifying the crystal to make small vibrations which keeps the movement oscillating and in turn powers the watch.
Water Resistance
Case Material
Luxury watches were traditionally made in gold but with the advent of new technologies in watchmaking many new materials have come on to the market and are now widely used.The case forms the outer part of the watch, which surrounds the bezel and the underneath of the dial. This can come in materials including yellow gold, rose gold, white gold, platinum, stainless steel, titanium, ceramic and a PVD coating.
The Watch Gallery is an authorised watch retailer and offers a minimum 2 year international manufacturer's warranty with every watch it sells. As an authorised dealer, every new watch will come in a branded box with full papers of authenticity. All pre-owned models also come with The Watch Gallery's own 2 year warranty.If for any reason you're not entirely satisfied with your purchase, The Watch Gallery offers a full refund within 14 days of purchasing, as long as the watch remains unworn. Just retain the packaging and use the supplied label to return the watch back free of charge.
Glass is used to describe the transparent cover of the watch, which can also be referred to as crystal. Glass is used to protect the dial but can also be used on the reverse of the watch to make a transparent open caseback, which shows the inner workings of the watch mechanism.
Sapphire Crystal Glass
Sapphire crystal glass is commonly used because it is highly scratch resistant and extremely hard wearing. It is completely transparent, enabling you to see every intricate detail on the watch dial and is one of the hardest natural substances making it an excellent protector.
Mineral Glass
Mineral glass is often used as an alternative to sapphire crystal. Lower priced watches can feature mineral glass, but also some older Rolex models may also use this type of glass.
Plexiglas is the trade name for an acrylic glass, often used as a lightweight or shatter-resistant alternative to glass.

Albania - My Wonderful Daily Grind
This documentary considers a day-in-the-life of Fr. Leonardo, a Polish Franciscan missionary who has assumed the task of responding to the spiritual needs of the local mountain population. The task is not without challenges and often the physical obstacles, the frustration through an inability to respond to all the needs and personal isolation weigh heavily. Fr Leonardo is a modern day missionary reflecting those same fears, concerns, courage and faith of missionaries of yesterday.

Revealed: How Michelle Obama's DNC Nail Polish Was Made
(LOS ANGELES, Calif.) -- Michelle Obama's trendsetting DNC manicure was more than a year in the making. Celebrity manicurist Tom Bachik (his clients include Beyonce, Jessica Simpson, and Jennifer Lopez) created the color with Artistic Nail Design "a little more than a year ago," and said the process took a lot of trial and error.
"I was looking at what was popular and kind of where we were going in color," he told ABCNews.com at HBO's pre-Emmys Luxury Lounge, where he and his L'Oreal team polished the nails of Emmy nominees and guests. "At the time, the gray-beiges and taupey-beiges were getting really popular but a lot of my clients and their skin tones were more cool, more lavender. So I put a little purple in with the grayish beige to create that tone. It also has a little silver in it to give it some luminosity."
Bachik didn't know the first lady wore his color, Vogue, until days after her Sept. 4 speech, when the Wall Street Journal revealed the name of her nail polish.
"I was working, I missed the speech, and it wasn't until my friends told me 'Hey, Michelle's wearing your color,'" he said. "It looked gorgeous on her. She went with something more modern and on trend, and I think that's why everyone jumped on it and thought it was a great choice."
But if he could pick a color for her election day manicure, he'd go with something more traditional: a jewel toned red called The Queen's Might, part of L'Oreal's new collection with "Project Runway."
"It gives you that kind of classic feel," he said. "But at the same time, by being on trend, it shows that she's relating to what's happening now."

Dempsey is now one point away from cracking the top 10 in career points at Harvard (photo Gil Talbot).
HANOVER, N.H. – Jillian Dempsey and Kalley Armstrong each picked up two points, but it was not enough to push the No. 3/4 Harvard women's hockey team past Dartmouth Friday night as the teams skated to a 2-2 tie. Dempsey and Armstrong helped the Crimson build a 2-1 lead with goals in the first six minutes of the game that was aired nationally on Fox College Sports Atlantic, before Dartmouth tied the score in the second.
Harvard outshot the Big Green, 43-26, including 14-4 during the third period. Dartmouth's Lindsay Holdcroft stopped 41 Harvard shots, while Laura Bellamy made 24 saves for the Crimson.
Harvard took an early advantage over Dartmouth, as the Crimson needed just 2:07 to get on the board. Dempsey found Armstrong in front and the junior converted, but the Big Green answered quickly. Dartmouth evened the game, 1-1, at the 5:10 mark when Lindsey Allen fired the puck at Bellamy. The strike hit Bellamy's pad, but continued to trickle past the netminder and across the line.
Harvard let the 1-1 tie last only 44 seconds, grabbing a new lead by virtue of a Dempsey tally. Armstrong found Lyndsey Fry streaking outside the right side of the crease, and the junior sent a perfect backhand pass to Dempsey. The Winthrop, Mass., native finished the strike as Dartmouth's goalie hugged the right post and vacated the left side of the goal to give Dempsey nearly an open net to aim for.
Both teams had a number of good looks in the first period, including a Lyndsey Fry attempt that hit two posts while it was still 1-0. Harvard left the frame with a 13-12 advantage in shots on net, but committed three penalties.
The third Crimson penalty of the first period proved costly, as Dartmouth opened up the middle stanza with 1:45 of 5-on-4 play. The Big Green circled the puck around the zone before Laura Stacey received it near the right faceoff dot. Stacey hesitated as a Harvard defender slid by and buried a top-shelf wrister over Bellamy's stick-hand shoulder.
Harvard cleaned up its play the remainder of the game, committing just one penalty after being burned attempting a kill, including no infractions during the last 32+ minutes.
The Crimson dominated the pace during the second period and continued to own the puck for much of the third period, but to no avail. Dartmouth's Holdcroft faced 25 shots in the second and third frames and stopped each Crimson effort. Bellamy was equally as good in the last half of the game, making save after save, although she need only eight blocks to keep Dartmouth from pulling ahead.
Five different Harvard players put shots on Holdcroft in the overtime, but once again the Big Green goalie was there to deny the Crimson. The best look of the period came with 26 seconds left and a scramble in front of the net. Sarah Edney sent the puck to the net and it rebounded to Dempsey who gave a second effort towards Holdcroft who was falling back to her own goal. The play was whistled dead, as the puck was covered, before the Dartmouth goalie continued to tip, eventually slipping into the net. The officials reviewed the play, but it was ruled correctly on the ice and the score remained tied for the final seconds.
The Beanpot, hosted at Northeastern, is up next for the Crimson. Harvard will take to the ice Tuesday night at 5 p.m. against No. 2 Boston College.
Game Notes
This was the second time Harvard has played on FCS Atlantic and each game has ended in a 2-2 tie (at UNH, 12/8/12) … Tonight marks the first time Harvard has played back-to-back overtime games since the final two contests of last season … Katey Stone, The Landry Family Head Coach for Harvard Women's Ice Hockey, remains five wins from 400 for her career.

[Thanks to drinksnob for the comment below. I have attempted to correct any errors in my article.]
There has been a lot of talk recently by how bad or good for you Agave Nectar may be.
Madhava's Craig Gerbore Responds to Agave Nectar Controversy
First, let's get this out of the way: No matter how the producers attempt to frame their products, Agave Nectar is not a traditional Aztec sweetener. It was, according to one producer, invented in the 1990s.
The Agave Juice may be harvested in a way that is relatively benign and favors small farmers or it may be a large industrial operation.
The Madhava Agave Nectars insist that they only buy from small farmers who run sustainable farming operations. Other companies may not be so benign.
The complex carbohydrates in Agave Pinas are indigestible to humans without being transformed into sugars.
There are currently three ways to do this.
First they can be heated, as is done for Tequila.
Second natural enzymes can be introduced, as in Pulque or Chicha.
Third chemical enzymes can be used, in a process similar to the manufacture of High Fructose Corn Syrup.
The sugars produced by this process are primarily Fructose and Glucose.
While the percentages of these sugars produced vary, in most brands, more Fructose is produced than Glucose. Some brands can be more than 90% Fructose. Fructose is perceived as sweeter than many other commonly used sugars, thus smaller volumes can be used to sweeten than other sugars. This is good for diabetics.
Agave Nectar is essentially an invert syrup, similar to Lyle's Golden Syrup or Steen's Cane Syrup. Like other sugars, fructose needs to be processed primarily by the liver to be metabolized.
The queue (or metabolic pathway) for processing fructose is less efficient than the process by which other sugars can be broken down. It thus enters the blood stream at a slower rate. This is good for diabetics.
However, it is also more costly to your body to process Fructose than it is to process other sugars.
Recent studies on High Fructose Corn Syrup indicate that it may be far worse for those who consume large quantities than even us HFCS scare mongers had previously thought.
Over consumption of Agave Nectar may have similar risks.
But all the conclusions on HFCS are based on its ubiquity in the American food stream. Agave nectar, while similar, is nowhere nearly as widely consumed.
With either, in terms of cocktails, the primary poison is always alcohol. However bad Agave nectar is for you, it is probably always dwarfed by how bad Alcohol is for you.
As always, I am not a scientist, and these conclusions are mine alone based on the research I have done. Please feel free to draw your own conclusions and/or prove me wrong.

Brigitte Bowers: Parental embarrassment a real luxury
One of my worst moments in school came on the afternoon when Mendenhall Junior High was letting out for the summer. I had cleared my locker and was ready to walk home, a 30-minute journey across a grape vineyard, when I heard someone call my name from across the outdoor basketball courts.
"Brigitte, does your dad have a black pony and a little red wagon or something?" shouted a girl who had until then been much too popular to talk to me.
"No," I lied.
"Well," said Gloria, who had recently changed her name to Cathy, "some guy who says he's your dad is driving some pony cart out there in the parking lot, and he's asking everyone if they know where you are."
I envisioned my father circling the parking lot next to the school office. I knew he was driving Midnight, our racing Shetland, and that he was wearing his silks and the helmet with the red pom-pom on top. He had, weeks earlier, mentioned that he and Midnight might pick me up at school someday in the near future. He believed it would be a treat for me.
I had committed little acts of social suicide all year. I had worn hot pants with desert boots instead of patent leather high heels. I had frozen up during auditions for "Macbeth." In my journalism class, in which I was the only seventh-grader, I had asked a question so stupid it made all the eighth-graders stare at me.
I could not drive away from school in a pony cart like a child at a country-themed birthday party. So I hid in the restroom of the administration building until my father finally left without me. As I leaned against the door of the bathroom stall, I imagined Midnight's hooves kicking up puffs of dust on the path through the vineyard while Dad sat alone holding the reins, aware that he had made his daughter ashamed.
My father had been raised in convents and foster homes. He had never experienced the luxury of being embarrassed by his parents.
I thought about my father recently when I stood on the sidewalk outside my youngest son's school, one of a group of parents seeing their children off on a week-long trip to Washington, D.C., and New York. A Via bus waited at the curb, its engine humming as the last bags were loaded into the cargo hold. My son had wanted us to just drop him off. When he could not make us do that, he suggested that only one of us take him. When it became clear that not only both parents but also his older brother were going to see him off, he decided to ditch us as soon as we got out of the car.
I looked for him, worried that I would not get to say goodbye. I could not find him until the chaperone called for everyone to line up.
I hugged him. "Have a great time," I said. "You're so lucky to get to see the Statue of Liberty."
"I gotta go, Mom," he said, pushing away from me. I stood by the window, found where he was sitting, and waved. He saw me and looked away. The bus pulled out from the curb. I waved again, harder. He ignored me.
We did not hear from him until 2 in the morning a week later, when he came home. I was almost asleep when I heard the front door open. I listened as he pulled his suitcase down the hallway.
"Mom?" he said, standing at the door to my room. "Are you awake?"
And then he was sitting on my bed, relating every detail of the trip. After a while, he pulled out a present from his suitcase. It was a miniature Statue of Liberty for my charm bracelet.
I am pleased I was able to give him the kind of trip my own parents could never have afforded for their own children. But I am even happier that I could give him the luxury of being embarrassed by me on the afternoon he left. I consider it a gift passed down from my father.
