Unfortunately, it didn't turn out that way.
She played her heart out through the first match, but they lost.

Emily has on the long black shorts and tall white socks.
|The Steps of Doom
Long story short, Ex1 took her to the hospital, and I followed. The Dude took the boys and my van and went back to the house while we took care of her.
We honestly thought that she was fine. We figured that they'd do x-rays and say that nothing was broken and send her home - but we were ok with that because then we'd know that she was fine. After a lot of poking and prodding, a few hours, and several x-rays, it was determined that she did indeed end up with some minimal compression fractures in two of her vertebrae. The ER doctor feels that she won't need any sort of treatment or anything because they are minimal - but he wants her to take it easy for a few days and then follow up with our doctor on Monday.
So Ex1 gave me a ride back home since The Dude had taken my van, and Emily went and hung out with some friends to watch a movie (that had already been planned) for a few hours. She came home and crashed on the couch pretty soon afterwards, and I'm just allowing her to sleep there tonight. If she's comfortable, I'm not going to make her move.
I swear, this week has it out for me for some reason. We had our drama from the other day and then this today - hopefully this is the end of it, because I'm exhausted and I need sleep.

Yep, banned from import by US law. Same reg that keeps bbls out. For a few years they let in some receivers and bbls for "replacement or repair" purposes but finally cut out that exception a year or two back.

Matsuzaka Red0 comments Posted by mKD at 8:07 AM
So I found out what Daisuke Matsuzaka - Dice-K to his friends - is doing with his Red Sox career on hold. Dice-K is wearing red for another team - Friendly's. Here he is below training some ladies at the restaurant. The person who is Daisuke Matsuzaka's wife is probably not too happy. Hopefully the Daisuke Matsuzaka can wear a glove soon and the Dice-K gyroball will make a comeback. The Matsuzka contract will be worth it.

Rehtaeh Parsons Rehtaeh Parsons
Took her own life: Rehtaeh Parsons. Photo: Screen grab, CBC News
Speaking out: Leah Parsons right, wants people to be aware of her daughter's case. Photo: Screen grab, CBC News
It was meant to be a harmless night of teenage fun: a small group of school students had gathered at a friend's house, to talk and joke over a few drinks.
But the tragic consequences of that night more than a year ago culminated this week in the death of a 17-year-old girl, an anguished family demanding answers and a public outcry about how the Canadian justice system could have let off her alleged attackers.
Rehtaeh Parsons, 17, was taken off life support at a Nova Scotia hospital on Sunday, three days after she attempted to commit suicide at her home in Cole Harbour.
Rehtaeh's mother, Leah Parsons, says her daughter was a sensitive soul who loved art, animals and had a big heart.
"Rehtaeh stood up for others, showed compassion to animals and people. She was an amazing artist. She made my life complete," Ms Parsons wrote on a Facebook page dedicated to her daughter.
"When Rehtaeh was born I dedicated everything to her and promised her the world. Others in this world took that away from her."
On the night of the party in November 2011, Rehtaeh had gone with a friend to another person's house, where a number of students had gathered.
Her mother alleges Rehtaeh was gang raped by four teenage boys, one of whom took a photo of the attack. That photo was then circulated around her school, sparking a bullying campaign that ended 18 months later in Rehtaeh's death.
In an interview with CBC Radio, Ms Parsons said her daughter had drunk a lot of vodka and only remembered "bits and pieces" of the night.
She said her daughter initially kept the incident to herself and was trying to forget about it when three days later she discovered a photo was circulating among her classmates.
"She walked into school and everyone started calling her a slut," Ms Parsons said.
She said her daughter broke down in the kitchen and revealed to her what had happened. It was then that her mother called police to report the alleged assault.
Ms Parsons wrote on Facebook that her daughter's life soon became "so bad she had to move out of her own community to try to start anew in Halifax", and she began to "struggle emotionally with depression and anger".
Rehtaeh was hospitalised for six weeks when her thoughts turned towards suicide.
Police investigating the case said they had concluded that it came down to a "he said, she said" situation, Ms Parsons wrote.
She claims investigators told her that they believed the boys raped Rehtaeh, but "the proof in a court of law was difficult to gather".
Scott MacRae, a spokesman for Halifax Royal Canadian Mounted Police, told ABCNews苏州美甲学校 that the investigation into the alleged rape started in November 2011 and lasted almost a year.
"At the end of the … investigation, police, along with the crown attorney, concluded there was insufficient evidence to proceed with charges," he said.
In the wake of Rehtaeh's death, Nova Scotia Justice Minister Ross Landry said he was now reviewing the case.
Hacker group Anonymous has released a statement saying it knows the identities of at least two of the four boys involved in the alleged gang rape, and has threatened to release their names unless the police "take immediate legal action against the individuals in question".
"If we were able to locate these boys within 2 hours, it will not be long before someone else finds them," Anonymous wrote.
"We do not approve of vigilante justice as the media claims. That would mean we approve of violent actions against these rapists at the hands of an unruly mob. What we want is justice. And That's your job. So do it."
Anonymous has become involved in similar cases before, most famously, the Steubenville, Ohio rape case which resulted in the conviction of two high school football players.
The group also exposed the identity of a man they said was responsible for the online bullying which culminated in the suicide of 15-year-old Canadian student Amanda Todd last year, weeks after she posted a moving video detailing her plight with online bullying on YouTube.
Dr Damian Maher, a lecturer at University of Technology, Sydney who specialises in cyberbullying, said photos on social media of a young person allegedly being sexually assaulted would constitute a crime in Australia.
Anything of that nature should be reported to police, and should also be reported to the social networking sites that they appeared on, he said.
"People have rights when it comes to images of them being circulated on the internet," he said.
He urged people who were being cyberbullied to remove contact with the perpetrators by, for example, unfriending them on Facebook.
However, that could be difficult for younger people, whose social network online was often the same as off-line.
"Young people are very susceptible to those types of taunts," he said.
"If someone is in a situation where they're being bullied, I think being able to turn to someone else for support and share it with another person is the most immediate way to hep a person through that.
"Counselling also may be a way to work through the issue."
Support is available for anyone who may be distressed by calling Lifeline 131 114, Mensline 1300 789 978, Kids Helpline 1800 551 800.

For the uninitiated majority, Burial's early oeuvre is a simple portrait: a portrait of a place and time, rather than a person's place within it. At first glance, at least, it's a bird's eye view of suburbia that soars unsettlingly close to the curb and scrapes its wings against the gutter. A sound that hits home like a molotov cocktail tossed through your window, but doesn't look you in the eye and put its feet up until superimposed to the streetlamp-lit alleys one imagines it lurched from.
Likewise, although Ask the Dust can be (and has been) labelled a relatively personal album within the modern electronica canon, it remains difficult to distance the music of Milwaukee's Lorn, aka Marcos Ortega, from the metropolitan topography of UK dubstep. At its unbearable bleakest, this is music that sounds like the third room DJ's final song feels, after a night-long set that's overstayed its welcome. On forlorn, late-album wind-down 'The Gun,' an entity croaks into the abyss like an echoing subconscious, barely perceptible over the sludge of ashtray paranoia, slithering with blank white faces and monochrome tomorrows. Songs like 'Diamond' and 'Chhurch' are no sunnier, the former shooting industrial fireworks with warbling, dual-synth lines zigzagging into one another's frequency, like lightning entangled with the pavement, while the latter, a stuttering representation of mechanical grandeur, scales the robot monastery with uneasiness and inelegance.
You'll find few treasures among the rubble of Lorn's collapsing dystopia. Named after John Fante's proto-beat novel, set in Great Depression LA, Ask the Dust is a graffiti-ridden, oppressive and faintly melodic place that bristles with skewed ecstasy yet suffers the reality simultaneously. Ortega soaks in the atmosphere and reports back from a subterranean standpoint. The scope might be limited, but at least one truth shines out: he writes songs of unembellished rawness, sharp as a knife and tight as the proletariat wallet. And there's nothing to suggest he wants any different.
6Jazz Monroe's Score

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Midvale • Melty Way opened its first brick-and-mortar location on Fort Union Boulevard in June. Before that, you could find these cheesy sandwiches being grilled up at weekend farmers markets, thanks to founder Rob Hale, of Park City.
Now, take your favorite childhood menu item grilled cheese and jazz it up with some adult ingredients and you've got gourmet grilled cheese from the Melty Way. I like this concept. I think it has some merit, but the key to making it work rests simply on quality cheese.
That's lacking at Melty Way. While there are flashes of brilliant cheesiness in the forms of mozzarella and gruyère, others such as the cheddar and swiss fall short. It's a fine line to walk when you talk about gourmet grilled cheese because quality cheese is expensive and the price point of Melty Way couldn't possibly add up if only the highest-quality dairy was used.
Anything with mozzarella at Melty Way is a good choice. The Italian ($4.99) featured fresh mozzarella, tangy sundried tomatoes and a generous spread of pesto. The cheese was soft and moist while mild, allowing the stronger flavors to shine.
Sadly, the best sandwich at Melty Way isn't even on the menu but is a regular special. The bruschetta grilled cheese ($4.99) reminded me of an excellent Italian pizza served between two slices of bread. Melty mozzarella cheese, roasted tomatoes, artichokes, Kalamata olives, garlic and oregano had me raving to the table after every bite.
Some of the more typical melted sandwich options include a hearty turkey club ($5.99) with two kinds of cheese, turkey, bacon and tomatoes, and the filling ham and swiss ($5.99) that could have done without the red onion slivers.
The Reuben ($5.99) was a dining disaster from beginning to end. The corned beef could best be described as cheap deli meat, while the bread was supposed to be rye but was nearly tasteless and the swiss and gruyère were only partially melted. Better was the artichoke-and-tomato grilled cheese ($4.99) built around well-marinated artichoke hearts and both provolone and pepper jack cheeses.
Two soups are available each day for $3.99 a cup or $5.99 a bowl. Tomato-basil soup is the house special and available every day. It offered a hot, creamy option for dipping the grilled cheese crusts in, as well as nice bites of vegetables throughout. The soup of the day on one visit was a chicken and rice that was too thick and tasted of raw flour instead of chicken, but the wild rice was a robust addition.
Big, thick, white Texas toast bread is the base for nearly all of the sandwiches at Melty Way. It's a good choice as it stands up to every filling, dunks well in soup and is satisfying as well. Wheat, rye or gluten-free from Udi's are other options.
Perhaps the most disappointing of all the grilled cheese sandwiches was the Classic ($3.99). Simple, mid-quality cheddar melted on white bread alongside potato chips (served with each sandwich) tasted lackluster but at least kept a 3-year-old diner at our table happy.
A kid's grilled cheese with American cheese or a grilled PB&J are also options for children, but most would be fine with a half of any sandwich on the menu.
Given the relatively small list of entrée choices, I was surprised by the many dessert options at Melty Way. A sweet grilled cheese ($3.99) offered warm whipped cream cheese and strawberry jam sprinkled with powdered sugar.
My favorite dessert was a tossup between the root beer float ($2.99) made with Wasatch Brewery's root beer and the build-your-own ice cream cookie sandwich ($2.99). While there are suggested choices on the menu (vanilla ice cream and chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal raisin cookies with coconut almond ice cream, etc.) you can select your own ice cream and cookie mix in any available combination.

Met Fishtails: Beyonce & Christina Ricci
Have a feeling we'll be fighting about this one. Christina Ricci is in Zac Posen. It's exquisite. I mean, from a design perspective, it's all you want at the Met Gala. Drama, imagination, quality, craftsmanship... But I feel like it might be the right dress on the wrong person. I don't know that she's really rising with it. Full Story
Do you like it?
Christina Ricci and a new hair cut. In theory, the idea of it, am all over it. In practice, on the person, maybe not. Her hairline starts too far back for a style like this, non? Gives her head an odd shape. Also, I don't like how it curls under on the sides. Reminds me of a bowl cut. I was so proud of my bowl cut. Full Story
Reward this body
She works hard on this body. And the results are obvious. And she deserves it. Because Christina Ricci used to be sickly skinny. Like near death skinny. And then it seems she got over it and accepted the body she was born with. Which is tight and toned and shapely, muscular legs, a tiny waist, full breasts, and a great f-cking ass. Full Story
Ladies of Montblanc
At the Montblanc Signature for Good Charity Gala – several actresses posed for portraits dressed as iconic literary characters in support of UNICEF. The unveiling was last night. Something like that. So along came the ladies. Here's Susan Sarandon covering up as has been the case lately, which is unusual because she's never been shy about her breasts and at the risk of sounding creepy, they are missed. Full Story

Early Winter for Lake Tahoe 2012
Tom Stienstra at the SFGate Blog recently wrote an article entitled Bird migration forecasts early winter. The article was published on September 13, 2012. According to the early migration of this type of bird, we may see an early winter this year!
There's a saying, "Birds never lie."
If so, the best weather forecaster in the West, the migratory sandhill crane, is predicting an early winter with plenty of rain and snow.
Over the years, the timing of the migration of sandhill cranes south to the San Joaquin Valley has predicted winter weather, both wet and dry. Early migrations have meant big winters. Late migrations, the opposite.
"I think 2012 sets a record for earliest arrival," said Gary Ivey, the International Crane Foundation's Western Conversation Manager.
This fall's verified migration started August 25 when 10 sandhill cranes were sighted in northern San Joaquin County by a birdwatching group guided by Esther Milnes-Schmierer, a docent for the Department of Fish and Game. In past years, the giant sandhill cranes have first arrived in mid-September.
Many thought it was an anomaly. But the cranes have kept coming and are starting to pour into the Woodbridge Ecological Reserve and Consumnes River Preserve near Lodi, their annual wetland destinations of choice each fall.
Over the years, the sandhill cranes' ability to predict weather seems uncanny.
In early winter, if a sub-flock of sandhill cranes breaks off from the main flock in the San Joaquin Valley and then fly south to Soda Lake in in the Carrizo Plain, you can expect a big winter of rain and snow. Last year, the cranes didn't fly to Soda Lake and much of the winter turned out to be a drought.
In the spring, when they migrate north, they can predict the end of rain and arrival of summer to Northern California.
Last April, after a drought was followed by a wet early spring, I spotted a flock of nearly a hundred sandhill cranes migrating north up the Sacramento Valley. Sure enough: By the end of the week, summer weather had taken hold of Northern California for good. The rain was done.
The cranes wingspans span seven feet. At Woodbridge, the dusk sky can fill with them cruising overhead. Their cacophonous honks can carry for miles.
Most of the birds migrate from their summer nesting grounds in the Pacific Northwest, and as far away as the Arctic and Siberia, down to the San Joaquin Valley to Woodbridge, Staten Island and Consumnes River Ecological Reserve.
While weather was relatively dry this past summer in their northern breeding grounds, Ivey said, weather followers have noted a succession of storms this month to sweep through western Canada.
It could be just a start for what sweeps across the Western U.S. in the coming winter.

Why Joomla!?
Joomla! is best understood as a way of organizing your website using a technology that is highly fluid and versatile. It's a bit like running Windows XP or a Mac OS on your website and just as you run software on your home computer, likewise Joomla! runs programs (called Modules and Components) on your website. These programs comprise all that cool stuff that you see on this website. The fancy term for these kinds of products is CMS--"Content Management System".
So, what kinds of programs/modules can you run? Well, here are some examples: RSVP software, Calendar software, Comments software, polls, cool links to Facebook + Twitter etcetera, running ads, newsflash, audio management, download management, etc. Look to the left on this page, that cool date display, the ability to rate this page, the number of page views, all that is a Joomla! component running. Likewise, on the right hand side of this page--that little info about us, the tag cloud, those are also modules running. If you look at the bottom, there are various suggested links and a chance to make comments yourself. Those links are created automatically and dynamically. Assuming we keep publishing articles on this site, those suggestions will change. The comments feature allows you to make comments and us to moderate them. It's very cool.
Now, as far as our site goes, it's essentially a template. That means that someone else has done the heavy lifting and we've configured it to reflect our tastes. Most of the time, we start with a basic template and then configure from there--this saves you time and money and get's us started off in a way that reflects your tastes from the start. And don't worry about them looking like lots of other sites, the reality is that by the time we're done configuring the site, it will probably be quite different than the original. Though I should say that using a template is not to say that it's as simple as point and click (in truth, Joomla! is still very complex) but none-the-less, these templates are available for free (or very low costs) and they get you up and running relatively painlessly.
One last point: I've already mentioned that Joomla! is a CMS technology. It is true that there are other CMS technologies out there as well--Drupal, Osmos, etc. The difference is that Joomla! is free and very, very popular. Again, the power of Joomla! is it's software modules that you can download and install on your site. Currently there are thousands of free modules available, and dozens, nay hundreds are being created every week. It would seem that there is a race to produce the best, most popular CMS out there (kind of like VHS versus Betamax 25 years ago). While there are many worthy competitors, in our humble opinion, Joomla! is winning the race--not so much because it's better (Drupal, Osmos and the others have excellent features, and some are way cooler than Joomla!) but it seems that in the nearly two years we've been working with Joomla!, it continues to outpace it's competitors in overall market share and continuing adaptability.
Great Church Web Design
Looking for good ideas for designing church web sites?
We've been doing church web sites since 2000 and have learned a thing or two. Here's some of our conclusions for what kinds of features make for great church web design:
1) Content is better than design...to a point. People are coming to your site to learn about your church. Great! They want to know who you are, what you're doing, what you believe, what they can expect when they walk in. Give them content, content, content. Give them enough material to spend a good hour or two bouncing around your site. Let them ask questions and then find the answers in your pages.
At the same time, don't lose complete touch with aesthetic sensibilities. There's no reason for an ugly church site (especially with Joomla!). Make use of Dreamstime and other graphic image sites that will allow you to provide high quality, professionally produced graphical images. Choose color schemes that reflect your church colors but don't annoy your visitors. For instance, these days sites tend to have muted colors. Bold splashes are great! But heavy, dark maroon backgrounds are a thing of the past.
2) Remember, content accuracy is key. People who are visiting your site need the content to be current and accurate. Because of the nature of the internet, the public has come to trust content on websites. Therefore, yours better be accurate and honest. If you say it online, be sure it bears out in reality. Have a person in your church regularly peruse your site culling out old, inaccurate, outdated info.
3) Give your readers reasons to keep coming back. Make your church site a regular part of their lives. Give them opportunities for feedback, input, interaction, etc. Use the power of Joomla to let them interact with your site. Use Facebook, use Twitter, use blogs, use comments to help your site become a real part of your congregation's spiritual growth.
4) Try Joomla! on your site. If you've never heard about Joomla!, here's the scoop: Joomla! (yes, that "!" is part of its name) is something like a computer operating system running on the web server that hosts your website. That may not make a whole lot of sense, and that's okay. What you need to understand is that Joomla! is a free product that people around the world continue to update. Consequently, there are thousands of add-ons for your site that you can download for FREE! For much more info on Joomla!, we've got a whole write-up on it here.
One more comment about Joomla!. There are several web products that are like Joomla! The fancy term for the Joomla!-like products is CMS or Content Management Systems. Other products are Drupal (Joomla!'s biggest direct competitor), WordPress and others. While each CMS has its benefits, we recommend Joomla! because so many people around the world are working on it. More than likely, it will survive the dog-eat-dog world of technological evolution. WordPress has grown much in popularity and power and might be a great option to those who are intimidated by the initial learning curve of Joomla!.
5) Be careful with following the trends of web design too closely. Right now, lots of church sites are going for a clean, somewhat utilitarian look. The sites are heavy in Adobe Flash components, heavy with large, beautiful, dramatic images, and (ugh) heavy with scrollbars that force the reader to constantly scroll down because of the small windows. To you as a techy person (you must be, you're reading this article), these may seem really cool. But to the average middle-aged potential church-goer, this cool "clean look" doesn't provide much in the way of true ministry. Think about it, you've got a visitor hanging out on your site--hopefully, the Lord is interacting with their soul! Why not have that moment be the point in time where they change their life and grow closer the Lord? While it may be tempting to be "cool", I truly believe that your site can serve Christ's kingdom and IMHO, little windows with pithy comments may not make the kind of impact for Christ that might otherwise have been produced by your church's website.
6) Avoid "Spinning Crosses". The cyber-world is filled with all kinds of little techy temptations. There are so many cool widgets that you can add to your site--everything from weather modules, to a verse of the day, to spinning crosses. Be careful. Don't do something just because you can. Keep good taste in order. Lots of churches have so cluttered their web sites that they look more like a flea market of online freebies rather than a website representing a local assembly of Christ's holy bride. Remember Who you serve and keep your site representing Him rightly.
7) Regularly Do House Cleaning. Along with point #6 above, I have found that as a web designer, we're constantly adding stuff and more stuff to our sites. Over time, like a sloppy home, we just get used to our mess and forget what it might look like to others. Eventually, even without spinning crosses, we wind up cluttering our site and effectively creating the very same problem as spinning crosses. Thus, we need to regularly clean up our sites. That means doing things like coordinating font styles and colors throughout the site. Check out old pages, they probably look different than your recent pages. Fix 'em up. Drop the RED CAPS IN BOLD comments that seemed soooo important three years ago, but now just distract the reader. Make the font sizes uniform throughout the pages. Get rid of the "Christmas 2008" graphic you worked so hard on. Decide if that spinning, blinking animated GIF is really necessary in this new era. Make sure the site is looking fresh and crisp.
8) Regularly Do Face Lifts. Along with point #7 above, good church web design will likely mean biting the financial bullet and regularly changing the look of your church site. We realize the practical and costly implications of this point. Yet, without regular face lifts, your site that looked so good four years ago now looks hopelessly out of style. Few sites can hold their current look for more than a couple of years. Be prepared to regularly change it. If you go to the larger church sites--the ones that employ a full web staff---you'll see that major elements change on their sites almost monthly. I'm not saying follow the leader, but at the same time, if you don't keep up with the times, your site will soon repel rather than attract people to your church.
Lastly, if you're still at Step 1 and don't know where to begin, here is a good worksheet developed by www.awesomeinsight.com.

Sparking Innovation
by ALEC ROSS
What do the provincial electricity grid, your computer and your refrigerator have in common? Yes, they use electricity – but, like virtually every other device or appliance that uses electricity, they also use power electronics.
Power electronics is concerned with the processing of electrical energy using solid-state electronics to meet the electrical requirements of an application in the most energy- efficient and cost-effective way. Since approximately two-thirds of all electricity generated is processed through power electronics devices, advances in the field have far-reaching implications for practically every aspect of modern life – from running provincial electrical grids to powering laptops and cell phones.
Praveen Jain, a professor of electrical engineering at Queen's and the Canada Research Chair in Power Electronics, is one of the country's most prolific researchers and entrepreneurs in the field. He has more than 40 patents to his credit (with more on the way), and his discoveries and inventions have led to major advances that have revolutionized industries. Last year he received the highest international award in his field – the 2011 William E. Newell Award in Power Electronics – from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the world's largest professional association.
Jain got his start 30 years ago, helping to develop more energy-efficient heavy equipment to melt steel through induction heating. Later he assisted Canadian Astronautics with the design of high-frequency power conversion equipment now in orbit on the International Space Station. He has also worked for and advised technology giants such as Nortel and Intel. He helped industry to develop extremely reliable and highly-dense power supplies that have demonstrated a four-fold improvement in power density and reliability exceeding 100 million hours. Jain accomplished this feat not only by taking advantage of new and improved components, but also by devising novel new architectures and mathematics for control algorithms. Jain has made sustained contributions to the theory and practice of power electronics converters through his considerable consulting work with industrial partners including Astec, Ballard, Freescale, General Electric, Intel and Nortel.
After arriving at Queen's in 2001, Jain conducted groundbreaking research into digital control of power electronics that in 2006 led to the founding of CHiL Semiconductor. The startup designed a new power chip for the computer and telecom industries that allowed computer processors to run faster and more efficiently without overheating and failing. In March 2011, CHiL was sold to a California firm for $75 million.
Today Jain is developing new, more efficient micro-inverters, the devices that allow more raw power to be captured by solar panels and transferred to the electrical grid. This work, under the directorship of Jain, is carried out by some 30 graduate students and researchers at Queen's Centre for Energy and Power Electronics Research (ePOWER). Their results are being brought to market through a Queen's spin-off company, SPARQ Systems Inc. Jain is also looking into new areas of power electronics research including applications in more-electric aircraft, electric vehicles, lighting and smart-grid technology.
Although he says it's becoming harder and harder to come up with things that are fundamentally new, Jain's willingness to keep pushing the boundaries of power electronics is what makes him as a leader in his field.
"You can solve a problem using known techniques, but if you do this you get a known solution," explains Jain.
"Innovation demands that you invent a new technique, topology or architecture. Once you do that, everything else follows. You have to apply mathematics and perform simulations to analyze your solution, and then build it in the lab to see what happens. Innovation and invention are what you need in this area to succeed."

Oddly, the most interesting Windows 8 machines at the launch event weren't the laptops, but the all-in-one PCs. Consistently large crowds gathered to look at these machines, and we can see why.
Massive screens with bright colours really suit Windows 8, and with the addition of a more sensible screen angle than most monitors, the all-in-one machines seem, somehow, to suit touch interaction more.
There was also some interest garnered as these machines are being pushed as media devices. Hulu Plus and Netflix were demoed on all of the all-in-one machines, and impressive picture quality and the new Modern apps meant that we found ourselves understanding the appeal. Of course, with the new iMac coming soon, these machines all look quite fat, but they do add extra features, like optical drives and in the case of HP, a TV tuner.
But we liked the Samsung package. It seemed very snappy and responsive to us, which is all-important. And we love the styling. It takes cues from some of the high-end Samsung TVs, so it's a stylish machine for families who want a decent desktop for everyone to use, but don't want a massive black box in the corner of their room making a racket and looking ghastly.
Keyboard and mouse were, as you'd expect, wireless, and looked great. We didn' get much playing time to type in Word, but this would make just as useful a work PC as it would a home media player.
So the Series 7 AIO 23 makes the most sense to us of any desktop Windows 8 machine. The OS looks good, works well and is a great advert for Windows 8. Microsoft must be very pleased indeed.

Perhaps It's Not The Entertainment Industry's Business Model That's Outdated
from the just-its-understanding deptAfter last week's post in my ongoing series about the economics of non-scarce goods, where I discussed the ridiculousness (economically speaking) of saying you can't compete with free, a friend emailed me to make an interesting point. He suggested that despite the common wisdom many of us have suggested, the entertainment industry's business models aren't actually obsolete. What is obsolete is what people think the industry's business model is. And, the worst thing is that the people most guilty of this are the industry execs themselves.
A few weeks back, one of the posts in this series was about recognizing what market you're really in. I used the example of horse-drawn carriage makers, who mistakenly believed they were in the horse-drawn carriage market, rather than the personal transportation market -- leading to troubles once the automobile came around. There's an important hidden lesson in that. You can actually be succeeding in a market you don't think you're in.
When it comes to the entertainment industry, that may be exactly the case. We've been arguing that there are plenty of business models that don't involve actually selling the content, but involve selling other, related products that are made valuable by the content. In fact, that's what both the music and the movie industry already do. Everyone may think that you're buying "music" or "movies" but that's very rarely what you're actually buying. You're buying the experience of going to the movies. Or the ability to have the convenience of a DVD. Or the convenience of being able to listen to a song on your iPod. And, in many cases, it's not just one thing, but a bundle of things: the convenience of being able to hear a song in any CD player, combined with a nice set of liner notes and the opportunity to hear a set of songs the way a band wants you to hear. It can be any number of different "benefits" that people are buying, but it's not the "movie" or the "music" itself that anyone is buying.
So the problem isn't that the industry's basic business model is obsolete -- it's just that everyone thinks they're actually selling music or movies, and that leads them to do stupid things like put DRM on the music to take away many of those benefits, or making the movie-going experience that much worse by treating everyone like criminals. What they're doing, and why it's hurting them, is that they're actually taking away the features that they used to be selling -- and missing out on opportunities to sell other benefits as well. So while we may still point out that the basic business model is obsolete, it may be more accurate to simply say that it's the understanding of the business model that's really out of date.
If you're looking to catch up on the posts in the series, I've listed them out below:

An excellent read about the ultimate cricketing businessman.
Jagmohan Dalmiya was in the news this week, and to everyone's surprise it was about a sports award he had won. The IJHS had done its homework.
Early this week, the scholarly IJHS -- International Journal of the History of Sport -- selected three men in sports who had shaped and evolved their game over the 25 years of their (IJHS) existence. Jagmohan Dalmiya was selected to receive the award, in addition to Juan Samaranch (Olympics) and Sepp Blatter (football).
The old men of ICC must have been miffed. Unsurprisingly, they completely ignored the IJHA's recognition of the sport they administer. Their official mouthpiece, Cricinfo, has been deathly silent on the matter, although it rarely hesitates to publish every tabloid-style rumor it can dig up on cricket.
However, it is unlikely that the 250 scholars of sports across the world who make up IJHS would be surprised by this. For their research showed not only that it was Dalmiya's vision that turned cricket into the global money-making sport it now is, but that for most of the last two decades it has been a largely uphill journey for him: a battle against the game's old powers of England and Australia that have ruled cricket as an elitist small-time sport.
The words from the IJHS must have been stinging for them: "Jagmohan Dalmiya has helped to change the face of the cricket in the last 25 years and the IJHS is proud to honour him. Dalmiya is the president of the Asian Cricket Council and a former International Cricket Council chief. An adroit administrator and entrepreneur, he engineered the global commercialisation of cricket and made the BCCI the richest cricketing body in the world."
Ironically, the IJHS probably knows more about Dalmiya's achievements than most Indians, whose media derides him largely because they choose to get their facts and education from the western media which publishes rhetoric coming out of the disgruntled old empire.
Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid brought competitiveness and recognition to Indian cricket, but it was Jagmohan Dalmiya who elevated cricket to a global sport, and India to superpower status in the game.
The media would have you believe that Dalmiya is a businessman who knows little about cricket. Nothing could be more misleading.
With the benefit of hindsight, it is clear that Dalmiya was a master strategist. He never loses his cool, maneuvers and manipulates his opponents and supporters like so many chess pieces to win his position, and is always prepared with the facts. His communication skills are excellent, with fluent command over English, Hindi, Bengali and Marwari. He dresses immaculately, and he has an undeniably aristocratic look about him. He possesses all the ingredients of a brilliant politician. Little wonder that this man has never lost an election in his life.
At the age of 19, young and privileged Jagmohan was set for life: he had just inherited his father's Calcutta-based construction business, one of the largest in India. But he would forge his own path in the business of his beloved cricket.
Dalmiya's cricketing credentials are impressive for an administrator known mostly for his business acumen. He opened the batting and kept wicket for one of Kolkata's leading clubs, and represented his university at cricket. He once hit a double-century in club cricket. Make no mistake: Dalmiya's devotion to, and appreciation of, the game is no less than the countless Indian fans who make cricket the national sport it now is.
1983 and 1987 World Cups
Dalmiya joined the BCCI in 1979, when MA Chidambaram ran the BCCI. There he teamed up with Inderjit Bindra, influencing their administrative decisions and making himself visible.
Even then, at a relatively young age, Dalmiya had ambitions to transform Indian cricket. And when Kapil Dev's team shook up the cricketing world by winning the 1983 World Cup in England, he got his opportunity.
It was a seminal moment in the development of the game. The value of Indian cricket began to skyrocket. It was at this point that the power center started an unmistakeable and irreversible shift towards India from its traditional bastion of England.
As with so many things in life, powerful motivation came from a negative experience. The BCCI President at the time, NKP Salve, was incensed by a snub from the English organizers after India's entry into the final with the win over the host country. He had asked them for 2 tickets (paid, not complimentary) for the final but was turned down. Salve vowed to take the World Cup, which until then had never been hosted outside England, away from that country.
In a 1984 ICC meeting to discuss 1987 World Cup logistics, Dalmiya, spurred on by Salve, stunned the powers-that-be by proposing that it be held in India with some matches co-hosted in Pakistan, and laid out all organizational and financial specifics towards that end. They fought him tooth and nail, but Dalmiya and Bindra had done their homework and would not be held back. In a boardroom victory almost as astonishing as the onfield one in 1983, India eventually won the right to stage the tournament based on ICC votes from other members, much to the frustration and disapproval of England and Australia, and a satisfied Salvi had rammed home his promise.
The 1987 Reliance World Cup turned out to be a hugely successful event, which Allan Border's Australians won by beating England at a packed Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Aside from hosting a final between the very two teams whose administrative bodies had so acrimoniously opposed the venue, Salvi showed grace when he allowed some English players, who had controversially played in the shunned apartheid-based South Africa, to compete in the event.
But while an important battle had been won, the organizational success was a commercial failure. The Indian board lost USD $40,000. Despite Reliance company's sponsorship of the event, corporate sponsors were still rare. As for TV, far from paying for it, Doordarshan (then a monopoly) treated live cricket telecast as a favor it was doing for the BCCI.
But Dalmiya, ever the business visionary, was not discouraged. He sold the game relentlessly. In 1993, the BCCI started selling the potential of cricket to TV. In 1994, they sold TV rights for $1 million.
Shortly thereafter, the rights to televize all Indian cricket for five years (1994-1998) were sold to ESPN and TWI for a whopping USD $35 million, and big money had arrived in Indian cricket. The contract guaranteed the BCCI an annual income of Rs. 20 crore.
1996 World Cup
It is unlikely that the old boys in the establishment will ever forgive or forget how Dalmiya challenged and taunted them before winning the rights for the subcontinent to host the 1996 World Cup.
In 1993, ICC delegates had collected at Lord's to decide the arrangements for the 1996 World Cup. Dalmiya represented India, as BCCI Secretary. After Australia had expectedly claimed the 1991 event, India was willing to let it return to England, but Pakistan decided to bid for it. It failed, getting only 4 votes against 16 for SA and 15 for England. Pakistan turned to Dalmiya for help.
Dalmiya recruited Sri Lanka alongside Pakistan, and set in motion an ingenious campaign that leveraged the support of the 16 associate members with promises of a greater share of financial rewards from the event if it were co-hosted by India, Pakistan, and Lanka.
After a long and stormy session of vetoes and boycotts, threats and pleas, acrimony and conflict, a triumphant Dalmiya strode out of the meeting with 1996 World Cup secured -- snatched yet again from England. Fierce opposition from England, Australia and New Zealand notwithstanding, they had no option but to bow once again to the supreme politician.
As the British TV crew followed Dalmiya out of the meeting, he laughed, tongue-in-cheek, "I wonder how, with this intelligence, you could have ruled us for over 200 years."
The establishment in Lord's squirmed. Loss of power, prestige and money can sometimes be shadowed by loss of self-respect, and his mocking words rubbed salt into the wounds. If they merely resented Dalmiya before, they now feared and disliked him with a passion.
Outsmarted comprehensively in the boardroom, they sought to cast Dalmiya as a villain, and allegations of cheating, manipulation and bribery were sprinkled liberally in the western media sympathetic to them. The diatribe was bitter, running along the lines of, "cricket is becoming increasingly the province of third world politicians whose concerns for the good of the game is subservient to their lust for power and influence."
ITC Ltd, another Indian corporate giant, supported the 1996 World Cup. This time, the event was a massive financial success for the Asian Cricket Council.
Dalmiya's success on the national and international stage made him a larger-than-life figure. It gave him the confidence to challenge the established supremos to stake his claim to the final frontier of world cricket: the takeover of the ICC.
Bitter squabbles with the old boys in the ICC marked the elections in 1997. England and Australia, eternally opposed to Dalmiya, worked hard in the meetings, behind the scenes, and in the media to prevent him from coming to power. Their faithful sidekick, New Zealand, stuck by them, but they were in the minority.
It was too late to halt progress. Jagmohan Dalmiya's ascent to the pinnacle of international cricket was unstoppable, and he was annointed President of ICC.
The loss of power was galling and shocking to the old empire. This last one of Dalmiya's hat-trick was more than they could take. To this day, their media grasps at every straw to belittle Dalmiya.
Dalmiya's Reign
Globalisation of cricket entered a new phase with Dalmiya becoming ICC President. Expansion of cricket began at this point. From Asia to Europe to North America, cricket generated millions of dollars in sponsorships and television rights and the ICC became wealthy beyond their wildest expectations. Cricket generated serious money, and started to be recognized seriously in the world of sports. It is as a result of that expansion that it will soon become an Olympic event.
When Jagmohan Dalmiya took over as the first Asian president of the ICC, the world body's financial health was shaky. It had a pitiful $37,000 in its kitty. By the time Dalmiya, with his extraordinary ability to attract sponsors and sell his ideas, finished his term 3 years later, it had become 30 times richer with $11 million in cash.
Throughout his term, Dalmiya fought fire from the fallen empire. With the help of their media, they sniped at him constantly and spread disinformation about him.
Dalmiya's commitment to equal application of the law was apparent from his support of Pakistani fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar. Setting aside political realities, he threw his weight behind Shoaib, who was targetted by the Aussies ever since he took over the coveted title of "fastest bowler in the world".
Brett Lee, Shoaib's Aussie rival, had an action equally as suspicious as the Pakistani's. Both bowlers were regarded as chucking some of their fast ones, by experts as well as fans. Both were reported by ICC umpires. Shoaib, however, was banned while Lee, with support from Malcom Speed (then the ACB President) and Aussie chucking experts, was able to dodge even a review of his action, getting away scot-free. Shoaib was not only reviewed but confirmed as a chucker, ironically by Aussie experts, and required to change his action. In fact, he was reported twice.
But Dalmiya was not having any of this differential treatment. To the extreme displeasure of the Aussies, he used his executive powers to quash the ban on Shoaib Akhtar. English and Aussie ICC representatives along with their media once again went to town on Dalmiya, unmindful of the fact that by all accounts the President had done the fair thing here, and doubly irritated by the fact that they had unwittingly united India and Pakistan on at least cricketing issues.
By the time Dalmiya stepped down, ICC and cricket had prospered beyond their wildest dreams. His project of "globalization" was opposed by some, but eventually took root. "My only regret is that they took too long to understand it," he said, just before laying down office.
The ICC was then taken over by the two Malcoms from Australia - Gray and Speed - whose effect on cricket was deeply divisive. Together, they would polarize the cricket world with their combative and controversial style and aggravate the rift between the new and old world.
Dalmiya was not yet done. He returned to Kolkata and contested the BCCI elections in 2000, easily winning it to become President of the Indian cricket body.
During this time, he exponentially grew the financial worth of Indian cricket and virtually dominated the ICC as a heavyweight member of that body.
Unable to resist the influence of India on cricket, the ICC did much to alienate it. ICC policies, selection of officials in the umpire and referee panels, and inconsistent on-field decisions made by them have been constantly surrounded by suspicion and controversy.
Dalmiya, in concert with the SA cricket board, forced out English match referee Mike Deness from the Test series in South Africa after he imposed 6 penalties including unjustified bans and fines on Indian players on a single day, widely regarded as a poisonous and vengeful action against an emerging power. That was the end of Deness's career as a match referee, and an official ICC inquiry (forced by Dalmiya) into his actions was repeatedly delayed and eventually cancelled, purportedly due to ill health.
When ICC told Indian players to drop their sponsors because of conflict with ICC sponsors in the 2003 World Cup, Dalmiya stood up for the Indian players. "Our players have the freedom to choose their sponsors," Dalmiya said. "We can't force them to tell their sponsors to stop promotional activities because they are conflicting with ICC sponsors. It's a violation of their fundamental rights." Several Indians including Kapil Dev and NKP Salve filed court cases against the ICC.
Malcom Speed, enraged by this support, held back India's $10 million share of profits from that World Cup for over a year, despite the fact that of the total $250 million revenue ICC got from that tournament, an estimated 90% came from Indian companies seeking to promote their products. It took threats of legal action from Dalmiya for the ICC to part with that money.
Building up Infrastructure
The troika of Jagmohan Dalmiya, Sourav Ganguly, and John Wright have together led to the golden period of Indian cricket history.
Dalmiya propelled Indian cricket forward by embracing progressive ideas, hiring foreign professionals to support the Indian team, promoting A tours, investing in domestic academies and infrastructure, and steeply raising salaries within first-class cricket to a point where the sport has become a viable career in India.
Thanks largely to captain Ganguly, who was often assured of support from fellow-Kolkattan Dalmiya, Indian cricket gained a confidence, aggression and flair never before seen, even in the 1983 team that won the Cup. The soft-spoken Wright, along with trainer Adrian Le Roux and physio Andrew Leipus, complemented him in a winning combination.
Dalmiya's faults are overshadowed by his achievements, but they are there. Chief among these is his, and BCCI's, staunch opposition to the formation of an independant player's union. The ICPA has failed to take off because of discouragement from the BCCI, and Dalmiya's belief that he can represent the players when needed. However, there is a clear need for the players to have an independant voice in matters where the BCCI will not be inclined to support them.
In addition, his tendency to rake in financial rewards sometimes defy logic. For example, the numerous ODI tournaments that he schedules for the Indian team leads to burnout and injuries. The urgency and frequency with which he has pursued resumption of India-Pakistan cricket begs the question whether financial interests take precedence over common sense.
However, it is easy to assume that the man running the organization is responsible for everything the organization does. It is possible that the BCCI has pushed him to take these stances.
All good things must end
Dalmiya's final term as BCCI President completed late last year, when BCCI appeared well set to sell TV rights for the next four years for an astronomical USD $300 million. Zee and ESPN bid for the rights, although the actual winner has yet to be determined.
Without Dalmiya running BCCI, the TV rights issue as well as many others have come unravelled. Wright has resigned, and Ganguly has lost captaincy due to just the sort of ICC action that Dalmiya fought, by just the type of official that has been the bane of cricket, Chris Broad.
The troika of Indian cricket is no more, and the golden period of Indian cricket appears to be over. The future looks dimmer.
But Dalmiya is still there, and still interested in cricket. He is still the chief of ACC (Asian Cricket Council) and CAB (Cricket Association of Bengal), although his power in the BCCI has diminished considerably. Senseless Indian media articles, looking to emulate western media, attack him often.
But early this week, IJHS gave Dalmiya an international award for his contributions to the game. He can take heart from the fact that at least the well-informed understand the work he has done.
One can only hope that soon, a worthy successor will rise up to carry forward the work of this pioneer of Indian cricket.

Iguchi vs. Lefty
August 29, 2007
Tonight's Lineup
Rollins, ss; Iguchi, 2b; Burrell, lf; Howard, 1b; Rowand, cf; Werth, rf; Ruiz, c; Moyer, p.
Chase Utley is out of the lineup, something Charlie Manuel mentioned this past weekend, resting him on occasion, especially with a lefty on the mound. Tenderness and strength of Chase's right hand is something that will be monitored the rest of the season.
378 feet . . . 45 feet . . . 396 feet.
That's how the Phillies took game two of this huge four-game series with the Mets last night. Once nemesis Tom Glavine left the game (seven shutout innings) Jimmy Rollins got the Phillies on the scoreboard with a solo home run into the left field stands in the eighth.
Shane Victorino ran for Pat Burrell, stole second, advanced to third on the catcher's throwing error and scored when Aaron Rowand's swinging bunt stayed fair, a 45-foot grounder that looks like a line drive in the box score. When a team is going good, lady luck is there.
Then, the big man, Ryan Howard, went the opposite way, an estimated 396-foot walk-off home run in the last of the tenth. Ryan looks like a different hitter these two games, more patient, seeing the ball better and getting good cuts that have resulted in a lot of hard-hit balls, some base hits and some outs. We'll certainly take a hot Howard bat.
Also encouraging was Adam Eaton's outing. If he pitches that way the rest of the season, the Phillies will be in good shape. Eaton got the staff's 44th hit with a single to left. The Phillies pitchers, who were pitiful a year ago, now have the most hits in the NL. Great work by the coaching staff.
Tonight, we need to get Jamie Moyer back on track again. Having lost two in a row, is this a must game for the Mets? Every game from here out is a must game for a lot of teams.
It was great hearing the fans chant, "Let's go Phillies", rather than "Let's Go Mets."
Tickets are available for tonight and tomorrow afternoon but they are going quickly. There's a real buzz in the air.
Written Words
"In many ways, it is stunning that Philadelphia even remains in the hunt for October. Only the players' resilience and the manager's composure have given the Phillies a chance to reach the playoffs for the first since 1993 despite often resembling a MASH unit instead of a baseball team," Jere Longman, New York Times.
In case your are curious, the four pitchers with the most career wins against the Phillies (since 1957), courtesy of STATS, Inc.
Bob Gibson 30-12
Greg Maddux 29-17
Tom Glavine 28-17
Tom Seaver 27-14
1 Comment
It's been a GREAT series so far. Last night's game had a playoff feel. Hopefully they'll keep it up tonight…
Moyer just threw a batting practice pitch to Wright… 1-0 Mets… Two things I've learned about Jamie Moyer. He gives up runs in the first inning, and he struggles getting the third out in an inning…

Indian Guru Swami Ram Dev has decided to take his assertion of radical transformation beyond the realm of physical and mental health and into the world of Indian politics. He has announced his plans to form a political party and offer candidates for all 543 seats in India's parliament in the next general election, though he does not plan on running for office himself.
He plans to clean up India's political body that he claims is awash with corruption and division and rebuild it upon the ancient principles of the Vedas and the Upanishads, the same content from which the science of yoga was derived. It is a bold aim of "revolution" but one from a guru who has already revolutionized yoga in the land of it's birth. Through a well-branded presentation of television sadhana, web satsang and a strong foundation in ancient wisdom, Swami Ram Dev may just be the one to instigate change in a country that he says is too dependent upon the political system of British colonization and too detached from the possibilities inherent in its own culture and history.
Viewing ads supports YogaBasics. Remove ads with a membership. Thanks!
So what will this revolution look like? Swami Ram Dev has strong ideas about the new age of Indian politics. "Be Indian," he says, "Speak Indian languages. Wear Indian clothes. Drink Indian drinks." Ram Dev believes in the Indian culture first and foremost and disagrees with the inclusion of Multinational corporations within the country. He expresses opposition to American food and clothing as well as the World Health Organization. He even opposes the beloved Indian pastime of cricket because of its British origins.
He states that he plans to make corruption punishable by death and would force all of those "hiding" billions of dollars in foreign markets to bring it back to invest in India. Swami Ram Dev's followers believe that Yoga can rescue India, and on this point I agree. As a philosophical model and a life practice, I believe that yoga in its most authentic form can rescue us all.
Entering the political forum is a move that is supported by many of Ram Dev's Indian followers, a large majority of whom are seeking a change from the well-ingrained political culture of India, and the effort is supported by several Indian religious leaders. There are a handful of other religious leaders who are skeptical, foreseeing the move into politics a cross over from the gifts of God to the lure of Ego.
Without question, Swami Ram Dev is a popular teacher with a strong foundation in the philosophy and practice of yoga, but when any person of power and prestige talks about eliminating outside influence I become wary. Cultural cleansing has happened many times throughout history, and the results have always been quite dramatic and in my humble opinion not very yogic at all. I am very much in support of grassroots movements, and the effort to return to a space of respect for the culture that drives any country, but at the risk of offending, I urge caution in following the path of outside elimination as the platform of change be it in India, the USA, or Africa. Ideals of exclusion have large and sometimes frightening repercussions.

Cheyenne Anthem Lyrics
Artist: Kansas
Album: Leftoverture
(Kerry Livgren)
>From the mountains to the sun, life has only just begun
We wed this land and pledge our souls to meet its end,
Life has only just begun
Here my people roam the earth, in the kingdom of our birth
Where the dust of all our horses hides the sun
We are mighty on the earth, on the earth
You have come to move me, take me from my ancient home,
Land of my fathers I can't leave you now
We will share it with you, no man owns this earth we're on
Now the wheels are rolling, hear the howling winds of war
It's my destiny to fight and die
Is there no solution, can we find no other way, Lord let me stay
Under the endless sky and the earth below
Here I was born to live and I will never go, oh no
But we cannot endure like the earth and the mountains
Life is not ours to keep, for a new sun is rising
Soon these days shall pass away, for our freedom we must pay
All our words and deeds are carried on the wind,
In the ground our bodies lay, here we lay

As expected, Boston is AMAZING! Seriously it is maybe the most beautiful city I've been to. The people were incredibly friendly, which could be because half the world was there for the marathon. The architecture blew my mind. Everyone was enthusiastic, customer service was over the top great, and the whole city was alive with marathon pride! We had a great time. We also ate a lot of great food! Foodie highlights include: post race fish and chips at Tommy Doyle's Irish Pub in Harvard Square, lychee fro-yo from Pinkberry(ok let's be honest, pomegranate, coconut and mango were equally great!), veggie pizza from Uno, giant cookies from Quincy's Market, breakfast sandwiches from Au Bon Pain, and cappuccino from some hole in the wall in the Italian North End district. We ate well. We also walked 12 hours a day to justify eating so well! IronSister rocked her 21st marathon(5.5 months pregnant I may now happily announce!)
In other MAJOR news(at least in my life), the Calgary Farmer's Market reopened today!!! I took the girls to check it out. It was utter pandemonium, first day craziness of parking schmazzles etc, but I'm so so thrilled to have the Market open. It is beautiful and spacious, all sorts of new stuff. Traditional cap from Fratello was worth the parking lot endurance sport. I can't wait to go back and get my routine on. I'm home, it feels like spring, so I intend on being back in the action this week. Hopefully I'll have some new recipes for you!

Western Fantasy YPs party at Shanahan's
With the main event a little over a month away, the Young Professionals of Western Fantasy rallied the troops at Shanahan's Monday evening and ended up selling about a dozen more tickets for this Oct. 23 benefit starring Wynonna Judd.
The biggest score was an entire table purchased by Melissa Meyer; Shane Nowak bought a pair of tickets and others promised they'd come through after their next payday. "Our tickets are $150, which is half of what a regular adult ticket costs," explained Monica Owens. "But for us it's a lot of money, especially if we are ones who go to a lot of benefits. So we take credit cards and offer a payment plan, whatever it takes to make buying a bit easier."
Young Professional ticket-buyers will also receive admission to an after-party at the Grizzly Rose.
Owens, whose dad, former Gov. Bill Owens, dropped by for a few minutes to see how things were going, has been involved with Western Fantasy for the past four years, coming aboard when her mother, Frances Owens, chaired it. Monica organized the Shanahan's get-together with Allison Klein and Jennifer Daurio.
Western Fantasy is a benefit for Volunteers of America and is held at the National Western Events Center. This year's headliner is Wynonna Judd; emcees will be Angie Austin and Chris Parente from Channel 2. On Wednesday night, Western Fantasy chairs Gayle and Ed Novak will welcome patron-level supporters at a cocktail party held at Neiman Marcus Cherry Creek.
At Shanahan's, managing partner Marc Steron and Devonne Marcove, the sales and marketing director, treated the 100 guests to sliders, shrimp, prime rib and parmesan-dusted French fries. Marcove, formerly director of the Fifth Avenue Club at Saks, is a blushing bride, having recently married David Nations.
Others enjoying a pleasant night on the patio were Quinn Washington, marketing director for Cleo Parker Robinson Dance; Rachel Scott and Mary Catherine Moss from the Colorado Neurological Institute; jewelry designer Cyndy Everett; Jeff Steepleton from the Galloway Group; Heather Brecl; Josh Hanfling; makeup artist Bev Black; Dana Berry and John Tobey from the new Four Seasons Denver Hotel; Jenny Salimi; publicist Jim Guttau; Ted Ciccone; Tera Haselden and Garrick Keatts; Chad Chisholm; Tara Tongco Rojas and VOA staffer Michael James.
