Smells Like Team Spirit! (タッグバトル!ファイナル!! Tag Battle! Final!!) is the 52nd and final episode of Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl.
Episode plot
Chimchar ponders Ash's offer. Ash thinks it has a great potential to be a great Pokémon. Paul insults them, thinking they both are pathetic. Ash ignores him and offers Chimchar an opportunity. Chimchar goes to accept the offer, but they get attacked by Team Rocket. Chimchar has been captured already. Team Rocket has already planed through to use Chimchar to get the Soothe Bell. Cacnea uses Pin Missile and Carnivine Bullet Seed on them. Ash promises Chimchar to get it out. Chimchar is relieved, but becomes angry and burns the balloon with Flamethrower.
Ash runs and gets Chimchar before it falls down. Ash asks Chimchar if it wants to come with them. Chimchar agrees and lets itself be captured. Later, Ash contacts Prof. Oak that he has a new partner. Oak is confident Ash will win the Tag battle tournament, even if Ash and Paul do not cooperate as they should. Dawn is happy to know Oak recited a poem, even if it was not meant to be a poem. Next day, the quarter-finals begin. Brock and Holly face Ash and Paul. Ash tells Chimchar to watch the battle. Holly advises to Brock he should not hold back, even if Ash is his friend. Brock knows he shouldn't - after all, he was a Gym Leader. Team Rocket, Conway and Dawn watch the battle.
Ash sends Staravia and Paul his Torterra, Brock his Croagunk and Holly her Farfetch'd. Staravia begins by using Aerial Ace, while Croagunk Poison Jab. Farfetch'd uses Air Slash, but gets countered by Torterra's Hyper Beam. This stopped Staravia and hit it, but defeated Farfetch'd. Ash is angry Paul hit Staravia, though Paul responds Staravia was too slow. Holly apologized to Brock, but Brock tells her it all right and promises to turn the events, so Croagunk uses Brick Break. Staravia charges with Aerial Ace, but stops (almost hitting Torterra), as Croagunk came under Torterra, then attacks Torterra. Croagunk goes to use Poison Jab. Ash orders Staravia to attack, but Paul stops him. With a Leaf Storm, Croagunk is defeated. Ash and Paul win the battle. Holly blames herself for the defeat, but Brock reminds her there are wins and losses. Ash praises Staravia, though Paul asks them what did they do in the battle, giving Chimchar a cold look.
At the Pokémon center, Brock is shocked to hear Holly left. Holly told Joy because of the defeat, she went to work and train to be stronger. Brock is sad, so orders Ash to get there and win. Joy gives Paul his Torterra and he thanks her, then sees Ash. The moment they saw each other takes some seconds, then Paul leaves. Dawn and Conway defeated the trainers and face Paul and Ash. Team Rocket is still dazzled by the Soothe Bell. Ash sends Chimchar and Paul his Elekid. Chimchar hesitates, but Ash tells it he is its trainer. Dawn sends Buizel and Conway sends Heracross. Chimchar begins by using Flamethrower on Heracross and Elekid uses Thunder on Buizel. Buizel uses Aqua Jet, stopping Flamethrower and attacks Chimchar. Elekid fires the Thunder at Buizel, but Heracross comes to stop Buizel from being hit, as it uses Revenge, then retaliates on Elekid, causing major damage on Elekid.
Ash tells Paul if they do not cooperate, they will lose. Paul responds what if they do, though Ash does not want to lose and orders Chimchar to dig. Buizel uses Aqua Jet and Elekid Protect to stop the attack. However, Buizel goes up and Heracross uses Feint (much to Paul's shock), negating Elekid's Protect, then throws Elekid away. Buizel uses Water Gun, hurting Elekid, but stops as it gets hit by Chimchar's dig, though Buizel counters with Aqua Jet. Chimchar uses Flamethrower, but gets countered by Buizel's Water Gun. Elekid uses ThunderPunch, but gets countered by Heracross' Megahorn. Elekid is badly damage, but evolves into Electabuzz. Electabuzz charges up to use Thunder, so Heracross uses Megahorn on Electabuzz and Buizel used Water Gun on Chimchar. However, Chimchar dodges and attacks Heracross with Flamethrower, while Electabuzz attacks Buizel with Thunder.
Both Heracross and Buizel bumped into each other by the force and caused a large explosion. After some time, the smoke clears and Buizel and Heracross still stand, although wounded. However, they fall down and are defeated. Because of this, Paul and Ash are victorious and win the tournament. Team Rocket are pleased with the victory, while Ash with his new Chimchar. Ash thanks Paul for the evolution, but Paul still thinks they are pathetic, as Chimchar could have defeated Heracross on the spot if it was not for Electabuzz. Ash ignores him, as he knows Chimchar is better than that. Enta gives them the Soothe Bells. The audience cheers for them, while Team Rocket go away, pleased by the result.
Later, Dawn and Brock congratulate Ash on the victory. Paul passes and throws to Ash his own Soothe Bell, saying he does not need it and goes away. Ash tells Chimchar that they are a team now and ignore Paul. Conway advises to Ash to head to Veilstone City and challenge the Gym leader. Brock reminds Ash that Paul is from Veilstone City, but Ash still wants to go to there.

Trust is Based Upon Truth
Trust is based upon truth, which implies open, honest and direct communication free of personal or hidden agendas.
One of the pillars of leadership is developing and fostering a deep sense of mutual workplace trust. One of the most vexing problems faced in organizations is a simple lack of trust between employees and their managers.
For managers to experience successful growth and positive results in their respective department or unit, trust must be established on all levels. Without a deep sense of trust, their vision, goals and plans—as well as unified workplace cohesion—will be unobtainable.
Establishing trust is difficult, time-intensive work. It is earned when synergistic working relationships are established with individual employees. These relationships are characterized by active communication and listening, open and candid interactions, and a total acceptance of all persons as unique individuals. Trust also includes the manager's personal involvement in ensuring employee as well as departmental success.
The fact that managers are granted authority over employees does not guarantee trust between both parties. Trust is based upon truth, which implies open, honest and direct communication free of personal or hidden agendas. For managers to become totally effective leaders trust must be earned and established. In the absence of trust, leadership principles will be of little consequence in the workplace.
Managers have a unique role within organizational workplaces. While they are responsible for individual employees and are required to guide and direct their activities, many are working on different assignments, projects and tasks in varying phases of completion. Many times it becomes impossible for managers to oversee everyone's ongoing daily activities. This type of environment demands that high levels of trust are established and sustained.
Lack of trust in the workplace stems from areas managers can fall short in, including:
Establishing a Work Environment Free of Fear
Most managers are generally under extreme pressure to produce ongoing results. Many are focused on agendas that are able to secure or enhance their chances of organizational advancement. In the process, they often create zero-tolerance policies for mistakes and failures. This produces work atmospheres where employees become afraid to discuss problems or results in honest and open dialogue. Rather than trust their managers to support them, they hide pieces of information or mistakes that can hurt or jeopardize them in any way.
Communicating with Employees
Many managers have direct contact with their employees, but often fail to actively listen and engage in conversations that encourage interaction, feedback or input. Some are only interested in picking out certain information that they want to hear without thoroughly listening to anything else being said. Even though they fully believe they are communicating effectively, selective listening and targeted talk work to demoralize their employees and reduce their levels of trust and loyalty.
Interacting in Person
Many managers choose to communicate with their employees via email, written memos or posted messages. Very few efforts are made to interact directly with them on a regular and active basis. This becomes a major pitfall, as only when they make it a point to seek out employees to have open and free discussions and conversations can they become attuned to workplace problems, concerns, and attitudes and know which motivational methods need to be applied to whom.
All employees must be treated fairly, compassionately and honestly and be appreciated for their own particular characteristics and personalities. All have unique needs that must be addressed and met if they are to feel an important part of the organizational team.
Since many tend to function with daily frustrations and pressures associated with their assignments and responsibilities, managers as leaders must become actively involved with them daily in order to encourage and sustain the motivation needed to assure they do not succumb to burnout and other psychological problems.
Specific Steps to Building Trust
If leaders wish to establish and build workplace trust, there are specific behaviors that must be avoided.
Criticism – Discussions concerning documented performance results and how to improve them are always necessary and appropriate as one of the manager's primary responsibilities and functions. However, they must make it a point to avoid making unwarranted negative comments regarding an employee's performance, attitudes and decisions, as they are directly perceived as personal criticisms, not constructive performance or work-related input.
Psychological Analysis – Managers as leaders must avoid assuming the role of amateur psychiatrist and analyzing employees' motivations and behaviors. This includes resisting the urge to prejudge their circumstances, situations and actions.
Advice – Managers can easily provide solutions or advice without making the effort to seek employee input. As problems are often more complex than they appear, managers can short-circuit the learning process and alienate employees by not allowing them to identify why things happened, how ineffective solutions were reached, or the particular factors that contributed to inferior results.
It is important that managers seek employee input in regard to specific problems in order to understand, analyze and learn from the facts and pertinent information they possess. Only then do they provide their advice, suggestions or solutions.
Command – Some managers tend to coerce, manipulate and force employees into completing assignments on time or accepting increased responsibility. As leaders, they need to avoid these types of actions, and instead motivate and encourage their employees to achieve desired results and/or increase their personal effectiveness and efficiency. They must know their employees well enough to be able to match the appropriate motivational strategy with each individual.
Control – Managers as leaders must avoid controlling actions and behavior through intimidation techniques and practices. Threatening employees with negative consequences does not motivate them. Employees need to be consistently and positively encouraged to produce results. Intimidation only serves to demoralize them.
Intense Questioning – Managers as leaders must avoid second-guessing and questioning employees on every decision, idea, recommendation or suggestion they make. Employees must be trusted to make decisions on their own without intense scrutiny and oversight.
A barrage of suggestions or intense questioning as to their employees' rationale or methods on every assignment only creates more obstacles to them doing their jobs properly, and sends a clear message that their manager thinks them untrustworthy and even incompetent.

WASHINGTON - USDA�s Farm Service Agency (FSA) will allow producers who would otherwise be ineligible for the new disaster assistance programs to become eligible by paying a fee as required by the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 (the 2008 Act).
The 2008 Act requires producers who wish to participate in the new disaster programs to have crop insurance or non-insured crop disaster assistance (NAP) coverage for the land for which assistance is being requested, and for all farms in all counties in which they have an interest. Since the 2008 Act was enacted after the application periods had closed for those programs, producers who did not have such coverage could not comply with this requirement in order to be eligible for the new disaster programs. However, the 2008 Act authorizes a waiver that allows producers to pay a fee, called a �buy-in� fee, to be eligible for this new disaster assistance.
Every producer whose crops, including grazing lands, are not fully covered by crop insurance or NAP may take advantage of this one-time opportunity. The buy-in fee is due no later than Sept. 16, 2008, 90 days after the date of enactment, as required by the 2008 Act. Those who miss this opportunity will not be eligible for disaster assistance. Producers are also reminded that the payment of the applicable buy-in fee does not afford the producer crop insurance or NAP coverage; it only affords eligibility for the 2008 disaster programs.
The crop insurance and NAP coverage requirements will be waived in 2008 for producers who did not obtain crop insurance or NAP coverage by the applicable sales closing date, if the producer files an application for waiver and pays a buy-in fee in an amount equal to the 2008 applicable NAP coverage or catastrophic risk protection plan fee for the crop or grazing lands.
Producers who meet the definition of �Socially Disadvantaged, Limited Resource,� or �Beginning Farmer or Rancher,� do not have to meet the Risk Management Purchase Requirement, and, therefore, are not required to pay the buy-in fee.
The buy-in fee for 2008 eligibility only for either the catastrophic risk protection insurance (CAT) or NAP is $100 per crop, but not more than $300 per producer per administrative county, or $900 total per producer for all counties less any previously paid fees for CAT and/or NAP.
Producers can contact their local administrative FSA County Office to file the application for waiver and pay the applicable fees.
The applicable buy-in form must be completed and applicable fees paid by Sept. 16, 2008. Payment of the applicable fees will allow the producer to be eligible for benefits for losses under Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) Program, Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP), Tree Assistance Program (TAP), and Emergency Assistance Livestock, Honeybees and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP).
The 2008 Act authorizes funds to be used to make payments to farmers and ranchers incurring eligible crop production/quality losses under the SURE Program, grazing losses under LFP, livestock death losses under LIP, and losses suffered by producers of livestock, honeybees, and farm-raised fish under ELAP. The 2008 Act also authorizes TAP.
To be eligible for SURE, TAP, and ELAP, producers must meet the Risk Management Purchase Requirement by purchasing at least the CAT level of crop insurance for all insurable crops and/or NAP coverage for non-insurable crops. To be eligible for LFP, producers must meet the Risk Management Purchase Requirement by purchasing or obtaining for the grazing land incurring the losses where assistance is being requested, a policy or plan of insurance under the Federal Crop Insurance Act, including pilot programs such as the Pasture, Rangeland, Forage Program (PRF) or NAP coverage by filing the required paperwork and paying the administrative fee by the applicable State filing deadline. The Risk Management Purchase Requirement does not apply to LIP.
The SURE program will be available to eligible producers on farms in disaster counties, designated by the Secretary, including contiguous counties that have incurred crop production losses and/or crop quality losses during the crop year. However, Congress determined that payments would not occur until the calculation at the end of the marketing year.
It also will be available to any farm where, during the calendar year, the total loss of production on the farm, because of weather, is greater than 50 percent of the normal production of the farm.
The LFP program will be available to eligible livestock producers who suffered grazing losses for eligible livestock, because of drought on land that is either native or improved pastureland with permanent vegetative cover or planted to a crop specifically for providing grazing. The LFP program will also be available to eligible livestock producers who suffered grazing losses for eligible livestock, because of fire on rangeland managed by a Federal agency, if the eligible livestock producer is prohibited from grazing the normal permitted livestock on the managed rangeland.
The LIP program will be available to eligible livestock producers on farms that have incurred livestock death losses in excess of normal mortality, because of adverse weather, as determined by the Secretary during the calendar year, including losses because of hurricanes, floods, blizzards, disease, wildfires, extreme heat and extreme cold.
The TAP program provides assistance to orchardists and eligible nursery tree growers who produce nursery, ornamental, fruit, nut or Christmas trees for commercial sale that lost trees, bushes, or vines, because of a natural disaster, as determined by the Secretary.
The ELAP program will provide emergency relief to producers of livestock, honey bees and farm-raised fish, because of losses from adverse weather or other conditions, such as blizzards and wildfires, as determined by the Secretary.
Because Congress did not provide a rulemaking exception for these programs, FSA must first publish a proposed rule seeking public comment, followed by a final rule. FSA is working to develop detailed regulations and software for these programs. Sign up for these programs is not expected to be held until this winter.

Just because "Spanish banks are fine" 12 days before they got a full-blown bailout, and global hyperinflation can never happen in this world, where every central planner is now preparing to hold the CTRL and P buttons until the bitter end, here are some pictures from Zimbabwe.
And some charts:
And the chart most familiar to Americans as at least when it comes to government debt, Zimbabwe is America.
But don't worry. The USD will never lose its reserve status. Oh wait...
Finally, a timeline:
- April 1980
- The (first) Zimbabwean dollar replaces the Rhodesian dollar at par, which buys US$1.54. A series of bank notes is issued, ranging from Z$2 to Z$20.
- From 1994 to 2006
- The Reserve Bank issues a new series of notes, from Z$2 to Z$100. As inflation rises and erodes the currency's purchasing power, Z$500 and Z$1,000 banknotes are issued from 2001 to 2005. In the first half of 2006, new Z$50,000 and Z$100,000 denominations debut.
- Aug. 1, 2006
- The first currency reform is implemented in an effort to contain spiraling inflation. The Zimbabwean dollar is redenominated by lopping off three zeros from the old currency. The new (second) Zimbabwean dollar is revalued at one new dollar = 1,000 old
- The first currency reform is implemented in an effort to contain spiraling inflation. The Zimbabwean dollar is redenominated by lopping off three zeros from the old currency. The new (second) Zimbabwean dollar is revalued at one new dollar = 1,000 old
- July 1, 2007
- The Z$500,000 note is introduced, valued at about US$16 at the official exchange rate.

- The Z$750,000 (US$25) note begins circulation.
- Jan 1, 2008
- The Z$1 million, Z$5 million and Z$10 million denominations debut.
- April 2, 2008
- Z$25 million and Z$50 million bills are introduced. Prices of basic goods are in millions—a T-shirt costs Z$276.5 million, pants Z$2.75 billion. Tomatoes and other local produce are priced in millions.
- At a restaurant, two beers and water cost Z$1.24 billion.
- May 2, 2008
- The Z$100 million, Z$250 million and Z$500 million notes debut. Annual inflation reaches more than 100,000 percent.
- May 15, 2008
- Z$5 billion, Z$25 billion and Z$50 billion notes are printed.
- July 1, 2008
- A Z$100 billion note is issued, about the price of three eggs at the time.
- Aug. 1, 2008
- Another round of currency reforms is implemented. The government slashes 10 zeros from each second Zimbabwean dollar bill and the third Zimbabwean dollar is valued at 10 billion old dollars (second Zimbabwean dollars). Inflation continues rising.
- Sept. 29, 2008
- New Z$10,000 and Z$20,000 notes are introduced.
- Oct. 13, 2008
- The new Z$50,000 bill is printed.
- Nov. 5, 2008
- Z$100,000 and Z$500,000 notes are issued.
- Dec. 4, 2008
- The Z$1 million, Z$10 million, Z$50 million and Z$100 million bills appear. Ten days later, the Z$200 million and Z$500 million banknotes debut, followed by the Z$1 billion, Z$5 billion and Z$10 billion notes issued on Dec. 19, 2008.
- Jan. 12, 2009
- The government issues two new denominations: Z$20 billion and Z$50 billion bills.
- Jan. 16, 2009
- Even higher denominations are issued: Z$10 trillion, Z$20 trillion, Z$50 trillion bills and the largest banknote ever—the Z$100 trillion bill.
- Feb. 3, 2009
- The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe introduces the fourth Zimbabwean dollar, with 12 zeros removed from old bills, making 1 trillion old dollars equal to one new dollar. Denominations of the new currency are the Z$1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 500 notes. However, loss of confidence quickly leads to abandonment of the Zimbabwean dollar in favor of foreign currencies, primarily the U.S. dollar and the South African rand.

Though there are no magic foods that erase stress and immediately induce sleep, there are components of foods that may help. Tryptophan is an amino acid that is a precursor of serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain, which naturally enhances sleep. In addition, vitamin C has been found to help reduce both the physical and psychological effects of stress on the body.
This recipe, which is perfect for the holidays, contains both of these components. The turkey contains tryptophan, and the cranberries and orange juice contain vitamin C. Plus, the recipe is delicious, easy, and quick!

Tee To Table was excited and grateful when given the opportunity to get up close with Lisa "Longball" Vlooswyk, a golf professional from Canada who can hit the ball 350 yards. 350 yards 2 feet 2 inches to be exact. Wow!
READ: Personal profile of Lisa
Longball aside, Lisa is an amazing golf personality. Whether she is writing, speaking or playing the sport of golf, her engaging and dynamic personality entices you to learn more about Lisa and her passion for the sport. Be on the lookout for some exciting updates in May after Deanna attends the Executive Women's Golf Association's Annual Conference in Hilton Head, SC, where Lisa is featured as a keynote speaker!
At the 19th hole with Lisa "Longball" Vloowyk
Deanna: How long have you been golfing? Did you have a "mentor" in your early days of golf?
Lisa "Longball":
I was introduced to golf when I was in Grade 8. I went to one Junior night with 60 boys and me. The coach told me to go hit 6 iron all night and didn't work with me. I quit the sport only playing the odd time with my dad until I was in University. My boyfriend at the time, now husband, was graduating from University and was being invited out to corporate and charity golf tournaments as golf is such a key networking skill. He dragged me out to the local municipal course or wherever we could get on. I started really loving it. I too graduated and became a school teacher and had the summers off. I would go out and play as a single during the day and fell in love with the game.
Deanna: Who is your favorite male and female player(s) on tour and why?
Lisa "Longball": I know this may not be a popular answer but Tiger Woods is my favorite male golfer. What he has done to change the face of golf, to the popularity of golf, to bring youth into the game and his incredible mind numbing shots he has hit is inspiring. Golf is more exciting when Tiger is playing…period.
Do I approve of what he does off the course, no, but that is not for me to judge. I like what he does on the golf course. I would like to see him be more personable and sign more autographs. To be more like Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer. That will help make him a true legend in the game.
As for female golfer, I am actually a big fan of Natalie Gulbis. She is in an attractive young lady who has continued to earn her spot on tour year after year. She helped bring cute outfits and a female touch to this sport. You can still be attractive and play a mean game of golf. I think she has elevated exposure on the LPGA tour with her Golf Channel show and her calendars. They are tasteful. I also had the opportunity to talk to Natalie at an LPGA event. She was so warm and welcoming and I told her I love how she always looks so put together on the course. Natalie said, "Lisa, I feel if I look good and feel good about it I am going to play well". I like that attitude.
(Natalie, Tee To Table agrees! Looking put together makes you feel good out!)
Deanna: You have played golf in several different countries and throughout all of your home country, Canada – What is your favorite course to play? What makes that course different than other courses?
Lisa "Longball":
Canada has some absolutely stunning golf courses. From the east coast shores in the Maritimes like Cabot Links in Nova Scotia and The Links of Crowbush Cove in PEI, to Glenn Abbey in Ontario, host too many a great Canadian Open finish including a 6 iron struck from a bunker on 18 by Tiger Woods. Courses like Banff Springs and Stewart Creek.
However, if I had to comment on the best course I have ever played I would have to say Royal County Down in Ireland. Links golf is like nothing we experience in North America for the most part. We are used to carpet like lush fairways, thick rough and pristine bunkers.
In Ireland and Scotland you get the true links courses. Your game is tested and challenged. Wind if often a factor and there are no pristine flat juicy lies. The ground is hard and fast and often undulates giving seemingly unfair bounces. Deep pot bunkers will snare your ball when your only escape route is backwards at times. It is exciting golf, inspires creativity and was the way the game was first played.
Deanna: Ladies golf has changed significantly the past 10 years – what do you think are the biggest changes?
Lisa "Longball":
I think for women there is more of an acceptance of female players on the course. We still have a long way to go but there are a lot more women playing, joining the game and becoming members. Look at our two new female members at Augusta National. That is very exciting for our sport. It is great to see more women out playing corporate golf as well. Great deals are made on the golf course!
Deanna: There are more women than ever involved in the golf industry and the PGA as well. Who do you think is exciting to follow through their golf career off the course and making a difference in the golf industry?
Lisa "Longball":
I would love to see features on the Golf Channel and in golf publication on females who are making a huge impact on the golf industry. We need to hear about female head pros who are doing amazing things at their course, female golf company representatives who are leading sales, female golf course superintendents and caddies. Typically male dominated professions. There are so many great stories out there I would personally love to read about them.
Deanna: What hints can you give lady golfers who hit the ball longer?
Lisa "Longball":
There are 3 thinks ladies can do to hit it further. Most women who struggle with hitting driver over 200 yards often are lifting their arms in their back swing versus turning. We need to get women making a good turn.
I like the swing thought of turn your back to the target on your back swing, or simply turn your shirt in your back swing. The second part is once you have made this good turn you can't start your down swing with your arms or you will lose the coil and torque you have built up.
The down swing needs to start with the lower body, or simply put turn your pants in the down swing. The 2 swing thoughts can be turn your shirt (back swing) turn your pants (down swing) .
Finally women must accelerate through the ball. Your club head should be moving fastest 3 feet past the ball. This will help you transfer your weight to your front side and finish it over your front foot. You should have all your weight over your front foot and none on the back. The sole of your back show should be fully exposed. A great test is to see If you can lift your back foot as you hold your finish and watch your ball land. If you can do that you have made a good weight transfer.
Deanna: What are your focuses during this season of golf – are you speaking more, playing more, etc.
Lisa "Longball":
This season my number one goal is to win the World Title in ladies Long Drive. I am currently ranked top 5 in the world and I have come second twice. I want 2013 to be my year. I also would like to Monday qualify for the LPGA Canadian Women's Open. If I am shooting low 70's consistently I will do this.
Finally I would love to build my speaking career. I do a lot of corporate and charity golf outings which I love but I really enjoy sharing my story of how I went from a 30 plus handicap to the 7-Time Canadian Long Drive Champion in just over 10 years at meetings, conferences and conventions. I share principals that have helped make me successful that transfer to both business and personal life.
I am excited to be speaking at a Women's Day at the PGA Tour event the RENO Tahoe Open and doing a Power Tips Clinic opposite Annika Sorrenstam. Such an honor!
Deanna: What advice can you give to starting or intermediate players who wish to get better? Practice advice, fitness, diet?
Lisa "Longball":
I would say that there is no easy route. If you want to get better you have to practice. Start with the short game. You will save the most strokes by being a good chipper and putter. In terms of fitness work on core strength, that is where power in golf comes from so classes like Pilates. Also look at Yoga. Flexibility is key in making good turns and it helps your balance also so important in consistent ball striking.

My rooster Quagmire, who I've had for at least 3 years, has had a bad foot for a while now. Today it finally got so bad he couldn't walk or use the foot so we made the difficult decision to put him down. It just kills me to decide between life and death and weigh the quality of life he had. Here's a LO I did in 2009 featuring Quagmire:
He was a beauty! The barnyard always has one rooster that steps up to be the ruler. Quag was our leader and I'm anxious to see who steps up and takes over. There will never be another Quag!

Big Sur Visitor Bureau - Home
Welcome to Big Sur.
The world's greatest meeting of land and sea, Big Sur spans the Pacific Coast from San Simeon to Carmel along the coastal range of the Santa Lucia Mountains. More than three million visitors per year explore the deep woods, ride horses on the beach, and visit local art galleries and restaurants all nestled along Highway 1, a river of asphalt that runs from the high cliffs to the open sea.
Big Sur is a world-class road trip with accommodations ranging from a human nest in a yurt camp to a 5-star resort perched on the hills and with dining options as diverse as home grown organics to Michelin Guide cuisine.
Big Sur is what you need it to be.

The name Big Sur comes from the Spanish "el sur grande" or Big South, referring to its position 25 miles south of Monterey, California. Framed between the Santa Lucia Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, Big Sur is a region without formal boundaries or government – it's more emotion than cartography. It's a passageway. A journey.
Big Sur has three communities - more like outposts and they were - Gorda, Lucia, and Posts. Tucked in between you'll find restaurants, state parks, art galleries, hotels, and campgrounds and if you stop and look you'll see an artist working in the filtered redwood light.
Formed by the slow and perpetual meeting of land and sea, the cliffs are a wonder to drive and behold – red-tailed hawks soar alongside you.
In Big Sur you can see the
largest, rarest, fastest, slowest, and most elusive
life forms on earth. We don't know if these creatures are in Big Sur because the flow of evolution places them here or they decide to be here, like you, joining us in the promised land.
Whales visible from shore and otters and dolphins swimming along the base of mountains make Big Sur a unique treasure, named one of the top two destinations in the United States by TripAdvisor.
Home to less than 1,000 permanent human residents, Big Sur is more emotion than geography; it's a passageway, a journey, from which visitors emerge in awe of the power and beauty of nature.
The Big Sur Visitor Bureau is dedicated to promoting Big Sur and local businesses, from a wood artist reshaping an ancient redwood slab to world-class lodgings high on the ancient cliffs.
We invite you to experience Big Sur and we welcome your feedback on how we can make this site, and your experience, more pleasant and ultimately, unforgettable.

Meticulously designed to bridge design eras with Mid-Century modern motifs, classic contemporary materials and a new age composition, this 24-inch round top end table makes an impressive addition to transitionally styled interiors. Sized just right for hosting a table lamp, a small indoor planter or a colorful vase, this table adds convenience and style to any room. The strut style base is comprised of four artfully arranged supports - available in metal with a reflective Brushed Nickel finish or cherry veneer in an Espresso finish - and the tempered glass top rests on aluminum pucks. Pair with other pieces from the Zila or Xenia collection for a coordinated occasional group.
The Zila Round End Table with Strut Base and Tempered Glass Top by Magnussen Home is available in the area from BigFurnitureWebsite.
Inspired by the vintage starburst motifs prevalent in many 1950s tabletop designs, the Zila and Xenia Occasional Table Collections translate the infamous and bright, mid-Century asterisk-like sparkle into contemporary décor. Each clear, tempered glass disk top is delicately suspended atop an interlaced metal strut base for a feeling that is fresh, airy, and original. Zila offers futuristic metal bases finished in a mirror-like Brushed Nickel, while Xenia takes a more familiar approach with hardwood bases, cherry veneers and an Espresso finish.

If you find the title of this post provocative, you'll be interested in a Cato Institute book forum on Friday, October 10th.
In The Crime of Reason, Nobel laureate in physics Robert Laughlin argues that intellectual property laws and government security demands threaten the development of new knowledge. Without change, we risk bequeathing our heirs a world where knowledge is criminalized and our intellectual tradition of unfettered inquiry is lost.
The event should be a fascinating inquiry into the role of information and information rules in our society. Thomas Syndor of the Progress & Freedom Foundation will comment. I'll be your humble moderator. It's noon on Friday, October 10th, at the Cato Institute, 1000 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C. Luncheon to follow.
You can register for the event here.

The first color satellite photomosaic of the 48 contiguous United States, this landmark map was published in July of 1976. The near-true color imagery showed the patchwork quilt of the contiguous 48 states as no image had done before. Trace the Mississippi river from its source to the Gulf of Mexico. See the deserts of New Mexico, Arizona, and California. Follow the Rocky Mountains through the western states. A cartographic benchmark, this map laid the groundwork for the many that have followed.

Anheuser-Busch to unveil new beer at Super Bowl
- Anheuser-Busch InBev will introduce a new brew during the Super Bowl
- Black Crown's recipe comes from one of six limited-edition beers created by Bud brewmasters
- In the ad, a brewmaster salutes a group of beer drinkers and toasts to Black Crown
For the second consecutive year, Anheuser-Busch InBev will serve up a new brew to Super Bowl viewers.
The beer giant will tout its just-out Budweiser Black Crown brand during the Feb. 3 Super Bowl XLVII. The new beer is scheduled to be on sale nationwide by Jan. 21.
Last year, A-B introduced another new brand, Bud Light Platinum, to the massive audience watching the Big Game.
"The Super Bowl really is the ideal venue to launch something new," says Budweiser Vice President Rob McCarthy, noting that Super Bowl viewers, expected to surpass 110 million, are engaged with the ads as they watch the game live.
Black Crown's recipe was picked from among six limited-edition beers that were created by Budweiser brewmasters earlier this year. Based on positive consumer feedback, A-B decided to take this formula national.
The new beer, a golden amber lager, is "a little bit darker and a little bit more flavorful" than the traditional Budweiser lager, says McCarthy.
With 6% alcohol by volume, Black Crown also has more alcohol content than traditional Budweiser's 5%. And the premium brew will be about 15% more expensive, McCarthy says.
A-B hopes to cater to variety-seeking Millennials with the new beer.
"This brand will appeal to a broad range of beer drinkers, but especially to 21-to-34-year-old, trend-setting-type consumers," says McCarthy.
In the Super Bowl ad, a brewmaster salutes a group of American beer drinkers seated at a table and also toasts the Black Crown brand.
The new brand may get more than one game ad. A-B shot two 30-second commercials with the same theme, but executives still are deciding whether to air one or two Black Crown ads in the game.
New brews, such as Bud Light Platinum and Bud Light Lime Lime-A-Rita, have helped A-B reverse its U.S. sales decline of the last few years, says Eric Shepard, executive editor for the newsletter Beer Market Insights.
Industry leader A-B, as well as other beer makers, fell behind as spirit makers offered consumers a wide range of new products, including vodkas that come in different flavors, he says.
But this year, the beer industry is showing a recovery. New flavors, as well as an improving economy, helped to reverse the slide, says Shepard.
As for the Super Bowl, A-B is the game's exclusive beer advertiser and will be a top advertiser in the game. The company still is determining the total ad time it will have in the game and the final lineup of other brands that it will promote.

There's always one
crazy girlcrier during The Bachelor's first cocktail party.
In our exclusive sneak peek of the Season 18 premiere, host Chris Harrison offers up the first impression rose, which causes the women to scramble for time with Juan Pablo. Lauren H., who is still reeling from a broken engagement, starts to realize maybe she isn't quite ready for competing with 26 other women.
Bachelor alums weigh in on newest star Juan Pablo
"I'm always so positive and I'm realizing I'm not that whenever I'm out of my comfort zone," she says. "It's just the reality of it is that it's a lot different."
Catch the "Countdown to Juan Pablo" on Sunday at 8/7c followed by the premiere on Monday at 8/7c on ABC.

Hi guys, been a minute since I've been on the forum. I need some help. I need a root for my phone. It's the MetroPCS ZTE Concord II Z730. The guys at both XDA and Android Forums either haven't been able to crack it yet or haven't put the right guy on it, but It'd be super awesome if somebody with knowledge in this area could look into it?
It feels like I'm suffocating without root access.
Thanks guys

He mentions that Greek word order is important, but plays a different role than in English. Prior to this statement he relates and I quote:
I take this to mean that the article always precedes the noun. The genitive, however, may appear either between or before the article and noun. My main question arises from this statement. What effect does this shift in order have on meaning? It would have been helpful if Funk would have pointed the student to a source within or outside of the text that covers this subject of word order and what effect it has on meaning.the article always precedes; the genitive autou (pronoun), however, may also come between or before article and noun (and occasionally may be separated from its word group). BIGHG pg. 8; 005.6
I would appreciate it if someone would guide me by answering this question and/or also citing a source that gives a beginner or intermediate coverage of this topic. Thanks,

About Harvey Milk
At one time, the music of this Athens, Ga., band was essentially impossible to find and was referred to in the reverential tones of an underground holy grail. A combination of bad distribution, limited releases and seeming indifference by the public (but outright worship by the few who heard them) prompted the early-'90s band to call it quits before the new millennium, with only three LPs and a number of unheard 7-inches to their credit. As the '00s unfolded and such groups as Sunn O))) and Khanate expanded upon Harvey Milk's slo-mo dirge metal, founders Creston Spiers and Stephen Tanner reformed the band in 2006 and released the characteristically great Life: The Best Game in Town. As with their early material, the songs on Life vacillate between crushingly heavy doom metal, a chuggering hybrid of hardcore and ZZ Top, with moments of indie rock tranquility. An infinitely distinctive guitarist, Spiers is liable to peel off a seriously sweaty '70s rock vamp, while the vocals, whether yelled or whispered, detail a seemingly bottomless pit of despair. In 2010, their once-intended debut album was released as Harvey Milk -- The Bob Weston Sessions. A Small Turn Of Human Kindness followed in May of that year.

A day after releasing news of its behemoth patch on Xbox 360, the folks who make Backbreaker say its free iPhone version has picked up a Kentucky Fried Chicken sponsorship. Runners will now celebrate with, what else, the Chicken Dance.
This is for Backbreaker Lite - not the paid Backbreaker version (although that only costs 99 cents). The iPhone game (also for iPod Touch and iPad) is not the full football sim but is instead a port of the very popular Tackle Alley minigame from the console version.
Players will get the "Doublicious Challenge," which is comprised of 10 levels not previously available in Backbreaker Lite. Runners celebrate with the Chicken Dance and high scores go on a special leaderboard.
When I first saw the news I was filled with crushing dread; last year, Madden NFL had a sponsorship deal with KFC that required me to eat and review this meal. Luckily, there's no Backbreaker Super Value Fried Grease Meal Deal coming down the pike. I think.
The shameful, shameful crass commercialism only lasts for the next month or so. But it is 10 more free levels, so have at it!

12m deep and descending the slope that we must take a small gorgonian. There lives a pygmi animal! That is a tiny seahorse just a few years ago was not known to us.
My heart pounding, waiting for the meeting. We are a small group, only 3 divers with cameras to take us the memory of so dear creature of the sea. We finally arrived! Other group is already there. I hear a several times –ooooh!
Closely look more….I spend three seconds, like a target Reaches the proper definition, in my retina Appears the shape of the tiny seahorse. 3 more flashes are triggered in an instant. I prepared my camera to frame the seahorse while 3 or 4 more flashes illuminate the gorgonian. I see the tiny seahorse hide Among the branches of gorgonian: shy, scared of much attention as a "superstar".
I split from the group a few meters. The flashes are like lightning illuminating gorgonian in a storm, the tiny seahorse. After a few minutes, the divers go in search of another goal. Then I walk slowly, breathing calmly. Upon arrival, a cloud of fine sand is in suspension. In the framework of the gorgonian dive guide shows us a point. Just part of the gorgonian differs: the same color, the same texture. The tiny seahorse still there, in the gorgonian by grabbing its tail.
I do not even try to make a picture. I stood there looking at him a few seconds. Is really tiny, perfect camouflaged in the gorgonian. Seems to be a " pregnant" male. I still watch a few seconds…I'm finally slowly in silence I go…only my bubbles left behind. And I think, maybe tomorrow I take the picture, quietly and without pressure. Quietly, without raising the fine sand without disturbing you.
So, you Have to Know That there are seven pygmy seahorse species. In Lembeh Strait You have the opportunity to see lot of them.
To be a seahorse pymy you must to see:
–A single gill opening on the back of the head, instead of two on the sides.
–Males Their inside trunk, instead of in a pouch on the tail.

Here's what I wore to my play a couple days ago. This guy asked me if that was my costume. Good one, GH! You deserved all those water balloons at the cast party, Mr. Agwe.
I wore my geek glasses with this but left them in my friend's car...I also wore black Converse, too tired to put em on. But hey, isn't laziness the essence of summer?

Those glasses are really lovely for your face—often such things look unsuiting on their wearers but you have managed something far better with "geek chic" by tailoring it to completely suit your features. You look like a clever butterscotch, and that is a very good thing.

It's so depressing. Just another scam. Holder is the worst AG I've ever seen.
It goes without saying that nobody at Citigroup will see the inside of a jail cell as a result of this misconduct. Citi simply bought its way out of the legal problem, getting immunity for both its toxic mortgage securities deals and the collateralized debt obligation deals (CDOs) based off those securities. Ultimately, shareholders pay the penalty, not the executives themselves. Yes, your Justice Department reserved the right to bring criminal cases against individuals. I'm not sure how you suppressed your laughter when making that claim.
The bottom line is that these settlements help nobody. They represent a corrupt transaction between a bank and a federal agency, enriching one with immunity and the other with cash. They're not only embarrassing to the majority of Americans who believe in the reparative power of justice for society, but they're actively harmful. The public narrative equating these settlements with a sufficient penalty for criminal fraud diminishes the expectation that we can ever see real accountability again. It sets a baseline for punishment absurdly below a tolerable level.
So it's time to pack it in. Send home the investigators, shut down the task forces and working groups. Stop hurting America with your pretensions to aggressiveness. I'd respect honesty about the situation instead of being lied to for public relations purposes over and over again. You're letting the banks off anyway, so you might as well make it official.

Only registered customers can save products to project lists. Register or sign in to add products to your project list.
Orbis® is a range of conventional detectors which has been developed and tested to create advantages for fire engineers and installers, as well as owners and users of buildings.
Orbis is a range with modern styling and a mounting base that saves installation time. It is electrically compatible with Apollo Series 65 and previous ranges of conventional detector.
Orbis is a demonstration of Apollo's commitment to the market for high quality conventional detectors for use in small to medium size installations. In developing this range Apollo has put ease of installation and reliability in daily operation at the forefront of considerations. The attractive and compact design means that Orbis will blend in well with all architectural styles.
Orbis is manufactured in Apollo's factory near Portsmouth, England
Orbis has been tested and approved to the following standards:
optical smoke detector
multisensor smoke detector
heat detector
Detectors have been declared
as being compliant with the essential requirements of the EMC Directive 2004/108/EEC and the Construction Products Directive 89/106/EEC
TimeSaver Base® designed for fast installation
StartUp™ for fast commissioning
FasTest® reduces maintenance time
automatic drift compensation
with DirtAlert® warning to easily identify dirty detectors
SensAlert® which indicates that the detector is not operating properly
wide voltage and operating temperature ranges
optical sensor designed for high
reliability and reduced false alarm incidence
multisensor smoke detector for detecting fast-burning fires
flashing LED option
Orbis heat detectors have an open-web casing which allows air to flow freely across a thermistor which measures the air temperature every 2 seconds. A microprocessor stores the temperatures and compares them with pre-set values to determine whether a fixed upper limit–the alarm level–has been reached.
In the case of rate-of-rise detectors the microprocessor uses algorithms to determine how fast the temperature is increasing. Static heat detectors respond only when a fixed temperature has been reached.
Rate-of-rise detectors also have a fixed upper limit but they also measure the rate of increase in temperature. A fire might thus be detected at an earlier stage than with a static detector so that a rate-of-rise detector is to be preferred to a static heat detector unless sharp increases of heat are part of the normal environment in the area protected by the heat detector.
Detectors should be checked regularly at the intervals indicated by the locally applicable code of practice. Apollo recommends that detectors be checked at least once a year.
One of the features of Orbis is FasTest® which makes it possible to carry out a functional test, using smoke or heat, within about four seconds. If detectors appear not to be functioning correctly they should be returned to Apollo for testing.
If detectors are externally dirty they can be cleaned carefully with a damp cloth sing a small amount of industrial alcohol.
Orbis detectors have drift compensation to compensate for changes caused by the environment. The most usual change is contamination.
If the detector is dirty to the point where it can no longer compensate, its LED will flash yellow while it is in StartUp.
Maintenance checks should therefore include removing a detector from its base and re-inserting it or pressing reset on the panel to imitate StartUp. A flashing yellow LED is not a sign that the detector needs to be replaced immediately. The decision to replace should be taken by the service engineer, taking the environment of the detector into account. If the detector is not replaced it will eventually cause false alarms.
When deciding how long to leave the detector on site in such a case, the following rule of thumb may be used: installation time + 25%.
For example, if a detector had been installed for four years when the LED flashed yellow, it could be left in place for up to 12 months.
Dirty detectors can be returned to Apollo for cleaning and re-calibration.
Orbis has been designed with a number of features that make commissioning easier and that save time.
When Orbis detectors are powered up they automatically enter a phase known as StartUp and in which they stay for 4 minutes. After this they revert to normal operation. If the detector is reset, ie, if power is disconnected for one second or longer, the detector will always enter StartUp for the first four minutes after power has been restored. The detector LED flashes red once a second to indicate that it is in StartUp.
What StartUp indicates
StartUp is used to check that the positive and negative cables are connected in the correct polarity and that power has been applied to the detector. If this is the case, the LED will flash red once a second.
StartUp will not check whether the IN+ and OUT+ connections have been transposed. This is not a problem if standard bases are used as the detector will operate normally.
If, however, diode bases are used and a detector is removed from a base with transposed positive connections none of the detectors beyond this point will operate.
Orbis detectors incorporate a test facility known as FasTest®.
In normal operation Orbis smoke detectors do not change to the alarm state at the first sensing of smoke. If they did, they could be too sensitive and cause false alarms. Algorithms determine the point at which the detector changes to alarm.
This could slow down routine
maintenance during which detectors are tested by means of smoke or a smoke-simulating substance.
In order to avoid such a problem Orbis detectors have FasTest, a facility which is automatically available during StartUp and which modifies algorithms so that testing is possible within 4 seconds.
The problem of testing is even more acute in the case of heat detectors as they absorb a great deal of heat during testing. Orbis heat detectors also incorporate FasTest®.
In the case of heat detectors a fast test is defined as a sample which recognises a rise of 10°C within one minute. Since sampling takes place every 2 seconds an Orbis heat detector will respond within about 4 seconds.
Smoke or Heat Testing
Smoke or heat testing Orbis detectors is aided by the FasTest® feature. A detector will react rapidly to the correct stimulus if applied within 4 minutes after power up.
Choose the appropriate test function on the control panel and reset the detector circuit. This should place the detectors into FasTest®. Apply smoke or heat as appropriate and the detector should enter the alarm state within 4 seconds. The panel may sound the alarm and reset the zone automatically (refer to control panel's instructions). If not, silence the alarm and reset the panel. Repeat the procedure as necessary.
Note that the multisensor detector will respond to either smoke or heat while
in FasTest®.
The Orbis range incorporates seven heat detector classes to suit a wide variety of operating conditions in which smoke detectors are unsuitable.
The European standard EN54-5:2001 classifies heat detectors according to the highest ambient temperature in which they can safely be used without risk of false alarm. The classes are identified by the letters A to G. (Class A is subdivided into A1 and A2.) In addition to the basic classification, detectors may be identified by a suffix to show that they are rate-of-rise (suffix R) or fixed temperature (suffix S) types.
All heat detectors in the Orbis range are tested as static or rate-of-rise detectors and are classified as A1R, A1S, A2S, BR, BS, CR and CS.
The environmental performance is similar to that of the Orbis optical smoke detector but it should be noted that heat detectors are designed to work at particular ambient temperatures.
The Orbis Heat Detector monitors temperature by using a single thermistor which provides a voltage output proportional to the external air temperature.

Today, I have some difficult changes to announce that affect some of our Microsoft Studios teams and projects in the UK and Denmark. After much consideration we have decided to cease development on Fable Legends, and are in discussions with employees about the proposed closure of Lionhead Studios in the UK. Additionally, we will close Press Play Studios in Denmark, and sunset development on Project Knoxville.These have been tough decisions and we have not made them lightly, nor are they a reflection on these development teams – we are incredibly fortunate to have the talent, creativity and commitment of the people at these studios. The Lionhead Studios team has delighted millions of fans with the Fable series over the past decade. Press Play imbued the industry with a unique creative spirit behind games like Max: The Curse of Brotherhood and Kalimba, which both captured passionate fans. These changes are taking effect as Microsoft Studios continues to focus its investment and development on the games and franchises that fans find most exciting and want to play.I speak for all of Xbox when I say that despite this news, we remain committed to the development communities in the UK and Europe, and Xbox will continue to support new IP and originality in the games we offer on our platforms, whether they're AAA blockbusters likeQuantum Break from Remedy, adventurous new IPs like Sea of Thieves from Rare, or unique new creations from independent developers like Moon Studios with Ori.We have nothing but heart-felt thanks for the members of Lionhead and Press Play for their contributions to Xbox and gaming. We are committed to working closely with those affected by today's news to find them new opportunities at Xbox, or partnering with the broader development community to help place them in jobs elsewhere in the games industry should they desire
At this point, the chances of a Black & White 3 being made are indeed horrifyingly slim. However, I do still have some hope for the series. Allow me to explain:The death of Lionhead may just be the catalyst to get some of their games on Steam. If the Black & White series manages to get remastered on Steam (which I think is a very distinct possibility if we push hard enough), new and old fans alike will be brought to the series. Having this sort of situation would greatly increase the odds that a developer would see the Black & White series and try to make the third game or make a reboot.Honestly I think a reboot would be most likely if anything. It's been too long since Black & White 2 (11 years now) and so newcomers would need to be properly introduce. Any of these possibilities I welcome wholeheartedly!!!

When the mail arrives at its destination I see the following (in red outline)
I don't want to show the "via server" and for that there is an option to add a SPF record.
To do this I have followed the instructions in this page:

After that i have tried:

How can I solve this and prevent "via server" showing?

Enertech Systems Industries Inc. in Quezon City, Philippines, is the country's leading manufacturer of boilers and boiler systems. However, problems with previously used feedwater pump makes was a major hindrance in the export of the boilers to other regional markets.
Thanks to the high efficiency that the Grundfos range of CR pumps offers and the highly advanced seal technology available for these pumps, Enertech Systems Industries now enjoys considerable success in the South East Asian markets.
The Situation
Philippines based Enertech Systems Industries Inc. employs some 200 people and serves roughly 60% of the country's market for industrial boilers. An irritating and costly problem with some boiler feed pumps is their sensitivity to the high working pressure and high temperatures related to these applications.
The high working temperatures were a common cause of shaft seal failure with the other pumps that Enertech used to apply for their boilers. This obviously resulted in customer complaints and loss of revenue due to loss of repeat business and reduction in profit due to increased after-sales service.
The Grundfos Solution
The Grundfos LiqTec was specially developed for the Grundfos CR range of high efficiency pumps. The most common cause of pump failure is dry running. Grundfos' dry running sensor LiqTec stops the pump immediately if there is no liquid in the pump.
The electronic control unit can also be connected to the pump's thermistor, which measures motor temperature. The system automatically shuts down the pump if the motor overheats. Using the Grundfos LiqTec there is no need for a PTC relay as the LiqTec takes over the function of the PTC sensor.
The Outcome
After switching to the Grundfos CR pumps equipped with the unique LiqTec sensor, Enertech has experienced a substantial drop in pump failure on their boilers. The high efficiency of the CR pumps allows for substantial energy saving. The LiqTec sensor all but eliminates pump
failure caused by overheating or dry running.
Combined, these features have made Enertech boilers much more competitive and as a result these boilers are now being exported to a number of South East Asian markets, including Indonesia, Vietnam, Papua New Guinea. More than 100 boilers fitted with Grundfos CR pumps have so far been supplied to a variety of industrial plants in these markets.
For Enertech Systems Industries the outcome has been a substantially larger turnover, and a more profitable operation, and improved customer relations.

Weekend Cook and Tell Round Up: Imperfections
Our last challenge for Weekend Cook and Tell was for all of you to share your not-so-perfect dishes. We called this Imperfections. Maybe your dish wasn't beautiful or didn't turn out quite how you expected, but that doesn't mean it wasn't amazing to the taste. Perhaps your different outcome was even better. Here are your real life beauties.
scalfin likes to make Indian pudding which apparently is "always a visual failure. Always."
We're not sure we'd describe this as "butt ugly," which were the words somethingedible used. But then according to him, all casseroles are ugly. You can be the judge of his Butternut Squash Casserole.
mangotomato is proof that sometimes we're overly hard on our own dishes. Her submissions didn't seem all that "fugly" to us. That being said, we can totally relate to a dish not behaving properly. The dough for mangotomato's hamentashen refused to cooperate. After much effort and only four successful hamentashen, she altered course and used the remainder of the dough to make a grape pie. Survival of the fittest award goes to you, mangotomato.
claireOOTO's is a real tale of cooking inspiration. Excitement of using a new cooking tool quickly turned to utter frustration after dropping the completed dish and breaking the new bamboo steamer. Argh! So much time spent just to finish with a less than optimal result. After a good night's rest, claireOOTO decided to not let a moment of clumsiness defeat her and remade the steamed dumplings with beets, black beans, and lime. Dumpling nirvana. We think that most of us can relate to the frustration of a ruined dish and the satisfaction of overcoming a momentary cooking curse. We're so glad you gave it a second chance, claireOOTO!
Finally, zahavah proves that sometimes a dish just required editing, as in editing the name. When prepping for a tarte tatin, she realized she was short on apples. A quick trip to the market solved that issue. However, a little time in the oven presented her with a new one. The storebought apples had turned to mush while the originals had held up. What to tell the guests awaiting her famous tarte tatin? zahavah was quick on her toes after remembering a recent New York Times article and presented a Pomegranate applesauce tarte tatin. Bravissimo!
A big thank you to everyone for sharing their imperfect recipes for this week's Weekend Cook and Tell challenge. Be sure to head over to Talk and read about next week's challenge: Keen on Quinoa

Rumor: Thom Browne for H&M
H&M continues their recent buzz of high-end designer collaborations as rumors have begun to surface
H&M continues their recent buzz of high-end designer collaborations as rumors have begun to surface of a potential collaboration with famed menswear designer Thom Browne. Browne, who has been credited in the mens fashion world with the rise in popularity of the "cropped suit" look, recently hinted that he would be open to the idea of a collaboration with the Swedish retailer – if given the proper amount of time and human resources. "You know, I would never say never, but with those sort of things I really have to want to do and have the time to do it, but it really comes down to the people. I have done projects with Brooks Brothers before because they are an amazing group of people – the collection I do for Moncler is the same, I respect what they are as brands and so it really depends on that. I think that is the only real way collaborations work, when the two parties understand each other and understand where each person is coming from." This is all the info that we have at this point about the potential collaboration, but given Browne's talents we certainly hope this becomes a reality and will keep you updated as more facts become available.

Oates, Evangela
I currently work in the state that is known as the "Land of Enchantment" at the University of New Mexico University Libraries. My official title is Visiting Lecturer/Resident in Research & Instruction Services. I work in Zimmerman Library (Education, Humanities, and Social Sciences) with prominent duites of reference and instruction. Additionally, I select materials for the Library Science discipline, select and complete projects, and other duties.
As an undergraduate, I studied voice performance at the North Carolina School of the Arts; however, I completed my degree (B.A., Music) at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in 2002. I taught Music in the public schools for one year after graduation. After a year of teaching, I decided to change paths (just in another education realm) and to go to library school. I started my graduate studies in June 2004 at North Carolina Central University's School of Library and Information Sciences. I finished my degree, June 2005 and started my current position in August 2005.
My residency will end in June 30, 2007 and I hope to work in another academic library where my primary duties are reference and instruction (I love to teach). Until then, I will continue to sing in one of the most phunkiest bands, Aladocious (the hostess with the mostest) and focus on my blossoming career. I can be reached at email@example.com and/or you can check out my myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/godiva910
