This week vet Joe Inglis helps a cat who has started pooing around the house, a dog with a recurring flea problem and a dog who keeps licking the furniture.
My cat Chuckie has always been strange, possibly due to falling from a second-floor window when he was a kitten. He's now 17 and has started pooing around the house and has been sick a lot. He's eating very well, drinks a lot of water and has had negative results for a diabetes test. After waking up to find him trying to poo on my head, I realised something had to be done. Is it age or could it be something else? Sue Rumbul
At 17, Chuckie is around 90 in human years, so he is an old boy and many of the symptoms fit in with age-related changes. As with people, when animals get old they can start to show signs of senility as well as physical problems. I would suspect that this is at least part of what is going on with Chuckie. However, I would also be concerned that he could be suffering from a condition called hyperthyroidism, which is caused by a growth in one or both thyroid glands in the neck and can cause a range of symptoms including increased appetite, weight loss, vomiting and diarrhoea. It is easily diagnosed with a blood test and treated with tablets or an operation, so have him checked by your vet as it may not only help Chuckie's health, it could save you from another unpleasant start to the day.
We used to love watching your TV shows and would like to say how much we miss them. Since then, we have been reading your articles in Metro with great interest. Around two years ago we rescued a sweet little dog called Rusty. She is a white terrier crossbreed. We bath her once a week with dog shampoo and use anti-flea tablets from the vet but the fleas keep coming back. What can I do about it, as she sleeps in our bed so her fleas are a problem for us as well. Simon Haeems
I'm glad you enjoyed Vets In Practice and my column here in Metro is going down well. Regarding Rusty and her fleas, with summer here the problem is only going to get worse so you need to get it sorted out as soon as possible – otherwise you will be having lots of itchy nights. Different flea products work better in different cases but for Rusty I'd suggest trying a spot-on preparation from your vet as these generally work very well at killing any live fleas. You also need to treat the house with an insecticidal spray to remove all the larvae and eggs from the carpets; it's also worth vacuuming thoroughly and washing your bedding as regularly as you can. For every flea you see there can be up to 100 eggs and larvae in the house, so treating the whole environment as well as the dog is really important.
My ten-year-old male Labrador/collie cross has been licking the polish/beeswax off the wooden furniture in the house. Why is he doing this and how can I stop it? Jamie Jesson
There can be many complex psychological reasons behind inappropriate eating behaviours but in this case I suspect the cause is much simpler – he probably just likes the taste. Whatever the cause, licking wax is not ideal for him so it would be a good idea to stop this behaviour. The best approach is to distract him from the temptation of the wax with a treat or game whenever he starts to get interested. If this positive approach doesn't work, you could consider a more aversive technique by putting something unpleasant tasting, such as a bitter spray (available from pet shops), on the surfaces he licks and this should do the trick.

I chose to read the Book of Tea because I wanted to read something different from technology, interaction and design. And I was right, as the author talks about art, philosophy, religion, aesthetics and the most surprising to me: east-west relationship.
The books revolves around the Teaism – term created by the author – to define the Philosophy of Tea, a religion of aestheticism founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence. The Teaism is based on principles of Tao and Zennism. Theoretically, on the Taoistic ideas of acceptance of the world as it is and on search of the beauty in our world of woe and worry. Practically, the Tea-ceremony would be a development of the Zen ritual, as a method of self-realisation. He also explains the influence of Tea-ceremony in the japanese architecture and in the emergence of the art of flower arrangement, due to the decoration of Tea-rooms by Tea-masters.
Regarding the east-west issue, it is important to illustrate the context this book was written: by a japanese scholar in the beginning of the 20th century. Okakura is disturbed by the way Westerns see and treat the Eastern civilization. He believes the West doesn't understand the East. By that time, maybe the West had truly no interest in the East, except for money and tea, of course. However, this has changed fifty years later, with the growing interest of the Beat generation in anything Eastern. As a consequence, Yoga and Zen have become widely known and reflect the current stereotype the Westerns created about the East as something positive, instead of negative, as described in the book.
Okakura associates the Schools of Tea with the historical moment in China: the Boiled, the Whipped and the Steeped Tea are connected to the Tang, Sung and Ming dynasties. He claims that the West is not aware of all methods of drinking tea since Europe only knew it at the close of Ming dynasty. And actually, it reminded me of the fact that most Westerns don't study the Eastern history in school. And I really think we should. I mean, how is it possible that many history classes just ignore that China, India, Korea, Japan and so many other countries were there for thousands of years?

Please don't take the shortcut. The time invested will pay off! The smaller or larger your personhood, the smaller or larger the subsequent offices in your life will be. The more you can enjoy your joy, the greater degree will you have moving into the office of sonship.
When a father enjoys his sons/daughters enjoying their joy. When I as a parent recognize a piece of me in you, saying, 'That's my boy/girl! They got that from their daddy. They are a chip off the old block!'
That is the connection between the office of personhood and the office of sonship. Unlike the office of personhood, you cannot put yourself in the office of sonship. That is the foundational profound difference. It is the actual experience of someone enjoying you as you are enjoying your joy.
There is a natural desire for there to be a connection between father and son/daughter. A craving to be validated. This, however, may lead to a violation of our design. Areas in which we try to be like them; if a parent is a big sports fan, the temptation to follow in their footsteps at any cost, will cost you. It just may be an area that will not bring you joy.
Many things you do enjoy may not get validation. No profound rejection nor massive excitement of 'that's my boy/girl. This can feel like a repudiating of your essence. A parents good response in being able to language, 'this is what you have inherited from me, and I love seeing me in you,' creates moments of putting you in the office of sonship.
What do you do when your parents did not put you in the office of sonship, especially knowing that children crave and need that validation from their parents? They will look for an authority figure to do that. ( a teacher, coach or pastor...) They know this isn't mom or dad, but they matter in the vacuum of your parent's approval. This is not the same as being my father's son or daughter, but it is a good substitute. This kind of approval can shape you immensely and be like water on desert land.
If you do not have authority figures filling in the gap, there are always heroes. You may revere someone for the contribution made to society and identify with something from their design. This brings a likeness between you knowing if they knew me they would enjoy my joy because I enjoy their joy. This sense of connectedness brings you closer into the office of sonship.
You may next be drawn to a tribe that enjoys your joy like a sports team or hanging with fellow skateboarders. The challenge is evident when rooted in peer approval. Do I lose my identity here and hold on to my values or go with them? This is a bad place to be if anchored in shared approval. This is a way to develop largeness but not at the hand of becoming commoditized and no longer relational.
Tribes can be based on shared pain and not personhood as we acknowledge we are walking a similar journey. There is a kinship here as we understand that someone else is put together like me. We compare notes and our tribal experiences. This can be a good thing not as dangerous as peer relationships.
All the above mentioned are substitutes and can alleviate the pain, the longing and craving we experience.
Ideally, sonship happens in the family line with the one who birthed you and claimed you as their own. God designed us to be able to look at our parents and see them enjoying our joy knowing we are a chip off the old block.
For many of us this has not been the case. For you come the tools in the next cd!
This may be a painful exercise for some of us. The longing to have had parental validation and approval is immense. For this we must go to the end of the story because compensation dictates that our God always makes a way! This is good news.
What did YOU do when your parents did not put you in the office of sonship? Did you use any substitutes and did they add positive or negative consequences in your life?
Arthur talked about the Wright Brothers and George Washington Carver being his heroes. Did you have any inspiring ones that you looked up to?
we would love to hear your thoughts..

i always liked the office of personhood because we could do something, putting ourselves in that office. here, in sonship, we must depend on someone else …


text: Schoenherr (Bear, 1991, etc.) excels in an expressive and original tale. The narrative is restrained and succinct: A pair of wild geese return north to a familiar wooded pond to nest. They hatch and rear their young until it's time to leave for the brooding ground before all fly south in the autumn. A simple tale, simply told. But another tale takes place in the pictures, a perfectly pitched counterpoint to the story and the reason for the book's title. Exquisitely rendered watercolors show that one of the goslings is insatiably curious, an inveterate adventurer. Like a wayward toddler, this gosling constantly strays to investigate such fascinating pond neighbors as frogs and butterflies. It has several narrow misses with a hawk, a snapping turtle, and some hungry raccoons before getting lost overnight. The reunion with its parents makes for an immensely satisfying conclusion, and children will want to search back through the pages for evidence of the first rebellion and the last. (Picture book. 3-7)

I'm ashamed to admit it but up until I had my relatively recent skincare epiphany I was definitely a face wipe type of girl (actually I used baby wipes). I'm going to put this down to sheer laziness. Half the time I wouldn't even bother, I'd give my face a quick wipe in the morning after my shower. Looking back, I can't quite believe I used to sink that low. But, that's all in the past and you'll be pleased to know I'm now a skincare fanatic.
In this post, I'm sharing my current evening cleansing regime which I've pretty much stuck to for around four months. And in that time, I've definitely had compliments left, right and centre. I'm putting that down to my fastidious approach to cleaning my face properly and investing in a damn flannel. The products I'll be mentioning are a few of my favourites but I do change these up now and again.
Whether I've worn makeup or not, I follow the exact same routine every night. First, I'll take my eye makeup off with a bi-phase remover, on a cotton pad, such as the L'Oreal Eye & Lip Makeup Remover. Next, on a fresh cotton pad, I'll use some kind of micellar water usually Bioderma Solution Micellaire to quickly remove the first layer of makeup off my skin. Then, on dry skin, I'll massage in my face cleanser. I've been using Sanctuary Fresh-Faced Purifying Wash which I absolutely adore, plus it's safe to use on eyes. Next I'll grab a flannel, soak it in hot water and place it onto my face until it cools, before polish my face with it, really massaging in the face wash. Rinse and pat dry. To be honest, I'm yet to see the benefits of toner but I was given the Clarins Toning Lotion with Camomile for my birthday and have been using it, hoping that one day I'll see the light. Once dry, I'll go in with a rich night cream that contains some kind of acid rejuvenating acid. I've got pretty dry skin and like my night cream super thick, like Fade Out White Nourishing Night Cream which contains Niacinamide to help even out skin tone. And that's it!
I have to admit, there are days when all I want to do is take my clothes off and pass out in bed. But, 7am is bad enough without the added feeling of regret. So if you're still depending on face wipes I highly suggest you chuck them out right now!

Tic Tacs are sugar free.
While listed as sugar free, this is a marketing trick taking advantage of a loop hole due to their small size.
To be listed as sugar free a product must contain no more then 0.5 grams of sugar per serving.
Tic Tacs are approximately 98% sugar but the serving size is one mint, with an average size only 0.49 grams.
It is a complete falsehood that if a penguin does not find love, it waddles off to die alone.
I was horrified when I first saw this, and since I couldn't find anything else on the internet about it, I reached out to Dr. Dees Boersma at the University of Washington and asked her about this claim.
She told me that she has 33 years of data and has observed pairings that have stayed together for as long as sixteen years. She also told me that penguins can get 'divorced' when not successful at mating, and that they will most likely will 'divorce' if not hatched. There is also a major gender skew of more males than females. If a male want a mate, he HAS to have a nest set up. Furthermore, females don't come ashore unless they are going to mate. So some females will skip breeding season if they are not in a mating mood.
For example, a female she studied had skipped pairing with her male for a year. The male looked for another mate didn't find one, and then the next year she was back with him. They do have emotions and they do vary in aggressiveness over a lifetime.
Furthermore, because there are many more males than females, a lot of males have never gotten mates. One of the penguins they've studied, "Turbo", a Magellan penguin, has not had a mate in 14 years and he keeps on trying.
So penguins do not, in fact, waddle off to die if they do not find a mate.

The mantis shrimp can't see a million zillion colors, earlier researchers made an assumption that their cones worked in the same way as our three do (color opponency). The Oatmeal and a few others didn't know how to differentiate assumption from fact and popularized this idea of a hyperaware shrimp. Extensive studies since then have disproved their color discrimination magic because, surprise, their retina is built differently.
I think their onepunchman strength is still valid though
While dining, the ancient Romans did not ritualistically eat so much that they had to interrupt eating to go vomit. An entranceway to a stadium of that time was called a vomitorium and had nothing to do with dining. I have seen this "fact" in at least two children's history books and I have no idea how or why some historian came up with this weird claim.
Those fat "Buddha" statues and depictions you see in some Asian restaurants are not the historical Buddha (who founded Buddhism and was not obese). They are Budai, a 10th-century Chinese folk hero, who eventually became a buddha himself.
You see this in the media a lot. That a heart attack is the same as cardiac arrest. It's not.
In order for a body to function normally, blood needs to flow to the cells to drop off oxygen and nutrients and take away waste products. If that process stops, the cells begin to starve, fill up with waste and die. The blood travels through arteries in the heart just like most other places in the body.
A heart attack is when one or more of those arteries are blocked and the heart tissue starts to die from starvation. If enough cells die, the entire organ dies.
A cardiac arrest is when the entire heart fails to pump normally. Resulting in that blood flow stopping throughout the entire body. Not just the heart. There are several causes of cardiac arrest. One of them being a major heart attack that kills enough of the heart muscle. But you can have a cardiac arrest from having a multitude of medical problems. From a burst blood vessel in your brain to a blocked blood vessel in your lungs and even losing enough blood or having a huge systemic infection. These are the people who need CPR.
Einstein didn't fail math.
Einstein Got a lot of 5's and 6's, but at the school he used to go, that was the way teachers rated the papers, from 1 to 6. So in reality, he was almost a straight A student.
The confusion stems from the fact that, while 6 is the best mark in Switzerland (where Einstein graduated), it's the exact opposite in Germany, his home country.
If your palm is bigger than your face, it means you have cancer. This is not true. In fact, it is actually a ruse to trick you into putting your hand up to your face, only to have Steve hit your hand into your own face in front of the whole class, including Jessica, who you've had a crush on since the 4th grade! The pain from hitting yourself in the face will fade, but the sting of shame and embarrassment will linger for life.
The Pilgrims are very unlikely to have actually landed at Plymouth Rock.
That Pearl Harbor was the only attack on US soil during WWII.
In fact, the Japanese bombed Dutch Harbor and invaded the Aleutian Islands. There were also U-boat attacks on the West Coast and German spies who landed via U-boat on the East Coast. None of these were particularly consequential in the grand scheme of things though.
The Japanese also "bombed" Omaha, NE during the war. They tied a bunch of bombs to balloon and let them float over the US. One of these bombs landed in the Dundee part of town and blew up in the middle of the street. No one was injured, and the whole thing was hushed up so the Japanese wouldn't know if the tactic worked. There's a plaque there now, next to a restaurant and an ice cream shop.
The balloon bombs did work once, in Oregon. Killed a pregnant woman and 5 teenagers.

(People think) That "factoid" means "little fact".
A factoid is actually something that is falsely believed to be a fact. Coincidentally, what every answer to this thread is talking about.
Eating carrots doesn't actually improve your night vision. This was a disinformation campaign carried out by the British in WWII to keep the Germans from discovering that they invented Doppler radar. Pretty funny/obvious once you stop and think about it.
It's a common misconception that goldfish only grow as big as their bowl.
In reality, the reason they tend to only grow so big as pets is because of poor water quality and improper care. They aren't really meant to be kept cooped up in small tanks, so the reason they stay small is because they die a lot earlier than their life expectancy in the wild. Sounds a little blunt perhaps, but it's essentially the same as a malnourished child dying, but it happens so often that everyone would just tend to think that's what humans are like.
In the proper conditions, goldfish should survive well into their 20s and beyond and they don't actually stop growing until they die.
It's a myth that the Great Wall Of China is the only man made object visible from Space. There are man made objects that can be seen from space such as some open cast mining pits and also the greenhouse in southern Spain can be seen but with viewing from space it depend on perfect conditions with clear skies and no clouds.
Also, you know... cities.
Israel Bissell not Paul Revere was the most important rider who let the revolutionaries know the English were coming.
George Washington never cut down his parent's cherry tree, nor did he ever utter the words "I cannot tell a lie".
Though the long rifles were useful in fighting the British during the revolutionary war, muskets made up the bulk of the American firearms.
Galileo was never executed by the Catholic Church for believing in heliocentrism. He was put under house arrest because 1. he suggested a heretical interpretation of scripture during the counter-reformation to support his claims. And 2. The Pope asked Galileo to actually write a book to explain his theory. When Galileo wrote this book, he included a character who name translates to "The Fool" who happened to have all the same beliefs that the Pope had.
Columbus wasn't trying to prove the Earth was round, he was trying to find a new route to Asia based on thinking that the Earth was smaller than what people like Aristotle had calculated. People knew that if you sailed around the world from England, then you'd eventually end up in Asia; the problem was that the distance (based on Aristotle's calculations) was too great to sail across.
Aristotle's calculations ended up being accurate, of course. It was just a lucky coincidence that there happened to be a whole continent between Europe and Asia for Columbus to land on.
Columbus basically tried to reach Asia and just underestimated the circumference of the earth. Instead of setting sail back to spain, he kept going and hoped that his crew wouldn't turn on him.
In fact, other people at the time tried telling him this, but he ignored them and if the Americas wouldn't be there the entire crew would have died of starvation.
Many of those "others" were priests and bishops, mostly advisers to Ferdinand and Isabella. For all the shit the Catholic Church gets, they were spot-on about this one: "See? We tried telling you that the Earth's circumference was 25,000 miles! But did you listen to us? Noooo!"
The food pyramid.
It was lobbied into what we grew up on by the food industry, having plenty of grain. I mean, come on, grain is not more necessary than vegetables and fruit.
The food pyramid wasn't developed by a medical organization. It was developed by the US Department of Agriculture. They're more of an economic agency than a medical one; American diets are really outside the scope of what they do. Food pyramid recommendations come from the average American diet that works best for the American farmer.
The often-cited claim that there are more black men in prison than college. Bill Cosby said it during his 2004 "pound cake" speech and it went viral among an uncannily diverse group ranging from white supremacists to mainstream civil rights activists (even ending up in a 2007 Barack Obama stump speech), but it has been provably false since at least 2002 and was almost certainly never true to begin with.
The best way to escape a bear is to run down hill. You may get faster running down hill, guess who else does too?
The actual best way to escape a bear is in a helicopter. This is because bears can't fly.
My favorite lie was the one my mom told when she was baking - any loud noise, stomping around the house, rough-housing, etc - would cause the bread/cake/dough/etc to collapse and ruin it.
Only years later did I realize she lied to get us to shut the fuck up for a couple hours. Genius.
It's believed that camels store water in their humps.
The ability for camels to survive for seven days without water isn't due to the fact that they store water in their humps.
All their humps are fat, but the fat is what provides them with about three weeks of energy. Camels' kidneys and intestines are really the ones that retain water.
There is no "24 hour waiting period" on a missing persons report. If someone is missing, even if it's for just an hour, you can most certainly file a report.
I have myself been told by police about this waiting period. If you ever have to file a report and they tell you that, just insist. It can be intimidating, but as many people have said, time is absolutely crucial in cases like this.
CPR is used to restart hearts and is quite successful. (Wrong)
CPR is hugely unsuccessful and isn't used to restart hearts, it's used to keep circulation going until medication to restart the heart can be administered. A defibrillator is used to restart hearts. Nope again. It's used to stop hearts that are beating incorrectly in the hope that when they restart they'll be beating all nice and proper.

Unraveling the Mysteries of Liability Insurance
There are a number of liabilities involved in running a business, but thankfully, many of them can be managed through liability insurance. This type of insurance is essential for virtually anyone who owns a company, and it can often be the difference between remaining protected in the event of an accident or injury on your business' property or finding yourself in court. Even a small accident or injury on your business' property could end up costing you hundreds of thousands of dollars or even more if you aren't covered, and these days, sadly, there are plenty of people out there just waiting to exploit business owners who don't carry liability insurance.
What Does Liability Insurance Cover?
Business liability insurance is meant to protect companies in the event that someone becomes injured as the result of something the business did or did not do. This type of insurance will usually cover a company if a customer is injured on the company's property, but it might also protect a business in the event that a company's product causes harm. In addition, it may also protect business owners who work in specific industries, such as the medical or legal industries, through malpractice coverages. Likewise, property liability insurance may cover losses that occur due to things such as fire or smoke damage. Finally, liability insurance may also cover damages in the event that someone claims that the company was involved in libelous or slanderous behavior.
Who Should Obtain Liability Insurance?
As mentioned, virtually any business owner can benefit from purchasing business liability insurance, but this type of insurance can come with unnecessary costs if you don't do your homework. Because there are so many options when it comes to liability insurance, you need to take the time to figure out which ones pertain directly to your business in order to avoid paying for coverages that you don't need. Many times, business owners will end up purchasing insurance policies that come with all the bells and whistles, but these individuals' companies don't need half of the options they're paying for. Likewise, don't go solely for the cheapest options either as cheap insurance will often not provide the scope of coverage that your business may need.
Partner With an Insurance Broker for Liability Insurance
If you're unsure about the level of liability insuranceyou currently have, or if you're operating your business without any liability insurance at all, it would be a good idea to partner with an insurance broker for assistance. An insurance broker is a professional who can help you to determine all of the potential risks and liabilities that exist at your place of business, and he or she can then shop a variety of insurance providers to help you find the options that are right for the unique needs of your business. Remember, without liability insurance, your company is just one slip and fall away from facing a court battle, so don't wait to get the liability insurance your business needs and your customers deserve.
Andrew Rusnak is an author who writes on topics that include business management and risk assessment.

Navroz is the Parsi New Year, when people from diverse ethnic communities and religions that come under Iranian influence or are migrants from Persia come together to celebrate the day. The word Navroz means 'new day', when it is literally translated. However, the word Navroz is only used in India, it is actually Nowruj or Nooruj in other parts of the word.
The Parsis and Iranis celebrate Navroz in a special way. A circular table or the dining table dons an exquisite new look. A special table cloth known as 'Sofreh' is spread on the table which sets in the festive spirit. The whole decorated table known as 'Haftashin' is a feast for the eyes and delight to the senses and the soul. After all, Navroz ushers in the message of gratitude, joy, hope and of course the triumph of the good over evil for all humanity.
Let us introduce you to some of the delicacies that are served on this auspicious occasion:
1. Ravo

Made with suji/rawa (semolina), milk and sugar, it is fried vermicelli cooked in sugar syrup and sprinkled with raisins and lots of almond slivers.
2. Sev

Usually served at the fire temple, this dish contains nutmeg-scented sweet curd along with vermicelli (sewai).
3. Paatra ni Machi

This is a traditional delicacy of the Parsis. It's prepared using mild green chutney to coat the fish before wrapping it in banana leaves and steaming it. Pomfret or Kingfish is usually used to prepare this dish.
4. Chicken Farcha

True blooded Parsis are passionate about farcha and it is sure to be on the menu as this egg-battered, fried chicken is an all-time favorite.
5. Sali chicken

The dish, with heavy Gujarati influence comes with a generous helping of fried potato sticks with gravy and it really is difficult to go wrong with this one.
6. Falooda

This cold delicacy is one for the ages. Made with milk, it is then flavoured with rose essence and topped with fresh fruits and dollops of ice-cream. This is pure bliss!
Mouth-watering, are they not?
All our best wishes to you this Navroz!

KEENE, N.H. - Preseason All-American Ty Nichols continues to rack up strong performances.

- Rhode Island College: 8-3, 1-2 LEC
How It Happened
In addition to Nichols, James Anozie scored in double-figures for the fifth straight game, recording 20 points, six rebounds and two steals. Paul Mahon was a perfect 4-of-4 from the field (3-of-3 from deep) and had a career-best 13 points, five assists and two steals. Miguel Prieto and DeVon Beasley each tossed in 11 points, with Prieto adding six assists, and Beasley six rebounds, two assists and two steals. Adham Floyd had a season-high 27 points and Justin Campbell 24 for RIC.
It was a closely contested and high-scoring first half, as Rhode Island College shot 14% higher than their season average en route to a 50-point half, the most points they have scored in any half this year. The Owls shot 46% and made 5-of-10 from three, though the visitors canned 7-of-12. The teams split the first 32 points of the contest and it was 16-16 less than five minutes in. KSC gained brief separation, as back-to-back triples from Beasley and Nichols made it 22-16 at the 14:23 mark. It was still a 26-24 Owl advantage halfway through the half, but Rhode Island College flipped the script, going up 39-28 on the strength of a 15-2 burst over a 4:28 span. Still trailing 44-33, KSC chipped away, as consecutive layups from Anozie made it a five-point game at 46-41 with 2:21 on the clock. Rhode Island College led 50-44 at halftime.
The second half was a much different story, as the Owls slowly took command while shooting an eye-popping 70% (19-of-27) from the field and holding RIC to just 9-of-32 (28%). The Anchormen were able to maintain their lead initially, as Floyd made a three to start the half and Benjamin Vezele scored for a 57-48 advantage at the 17:12 mark. RIC was blitzed from there, as they were outscored 50-28 over the remainder of the game. A trey from Beasley and a jumper from Prieto finished an 11-2 surge that tied the game at 59. Keene State broke away from a 65-65 tie with another huge run, this time a 20-6 surge in nearly six minutes for an 85-71 lead. A three and layup from Prieto on back-to-back possessions put the Owls up 70-65 at the 10:25 mark and, later, a three from Nichols and baskets from Sidi Diallo and Mahon made it 81-71 with 7:14 left. Layups from Nichols and Anozie capped the surge, putting KSC up a game-high 14 with 5:59 on the clock. The Anchormen never got within single digits after that, as Nichols scored again and Mahon drained a three for a 93-80 lead with just over two minutes left. The Owls cruised from there to their third straight win.
Inside the Paint
- Nichols, who has scored at least 22 points in every game and is in the top four nationally in scoring, is averaging 28.1 points per game on 51% shooting from the field (47% from long range) this season.
- The Owls have won eight of nine against the Anchormen, including the last four head-to-head matchups in Keene. The 98 points allowed by the visitors were easily a season high.
- KSC shot 56.5% (35-of-62) overall in the contest and 10-of-19 (53%) from three while assisting on 25 of their 35 made field goals. RIC cooled off after halftime, finishing at 39.7% (25-of-63) shooting overall and 10-of-25 (40%) from long range.
Up Next
- Keene State plays their final game before a three week break, as they host UMass Dartmouth for an LEC matchup on Saturday, December 8 at 3:00 pm.
- Rhode Island College goes to conference foe University of Southern Maine on the same day and time.

I bought this brush after reading and watching videos about how good the Semogue Owners Club brushes were. For me I had expected the break in process to take several weeks and I was right to think so, but it is well worth the effort and wait. This is the primary brush in my rotation as it excels in lathering both soap (hard and soft) and cream. Also he bristles are amazingly soft, so if you are expecting a stiff bristled boar brush, think again!
This is a great product and will only add value to one's collection

Windows 8 has many interesting features, but the most important has to be the Windows Store.
It's now easy to enhance your Windows 8 aptop or Windows 8 tablet with a host of powerful apps – games, multimedia, tools, productivity and more – and these can then automatically be installed on all your other Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 systems in a click or two.
You'll have to find them first, of course, which is something of a challenge, since the Windows Store now has thousands of apps competing for your attention.
The new Windows 8.1 version, currently available as a preview, makes drastic improvements to the discoverability of apps, but in the meantime we've been scouring the latest releases for the hidden gems. Read on for our guide to the best Windows 8 apps currently available.
01. OneNote
Microsoft's well-known note-taking application is available as a free Windows 8 app, and syncs all of your thoughts and ideas across multiple devices and platforms through the magic of SkyDrive.
The OneNote app itself works well within the clean, tiled look of the Windows 8 start screen and there are plenty of features to explore, from the ability to annotate your notes with drawings and scribbles to the option of tagging your notes to make them easier to organise.
02. Violet Storm Lite
Violet Storm has been one of the best games on Windows 8 since the operating system's launch, but it's now available as both a free Lite version and a £2.79 Pro edition that you can upgrade to if you like what you see.
In both versions the aim is to blast your way through as many enemies as possible across a mesmerising, never-ending solar system backdrop. It's easy enough to navigate your spaceship around the galaxy, and a lot of fun to play.
03. 4oD
Channel 4 seemed to get its catch-up act together quicker than most of the commercial channels (putting much of its content on YouTube, for example), and its free Windows 8 4oD app is simple to use and packed with programmes old and new.
You'll have to put up with a few adverts, but the full-screen mode makes sense for video, and you can browse by broadcast date, by category or through the full A-Z of available shows.
04. Official England Football
We may be a bit of a shambles on the pitch, but at least the FA's free Windows 8 app, Official England Football, is slick and easy on the eye.
There's plenty of material to work through, including news updates and video content (both official and behind-the-scenes), and if you have more than a passing interest in the fortunes of the national team then this is a worthwhile install. For the time being it looks like new content is added on a regular basis, too.
05. Twitter
The official Twitter app for Windows 8 doesn't do much beyond the basics of displaying your timeline and your mentions, and it could certainly use a fresh lick of paint in the interface department.
However, what it does do well is dock to the side of the screen – you can view your tweets while working on the desktop or running another Windows 8 app, and for this feature alone it's worth installing on your Start screen.
06. Adobe Photoshop Express
It's a little basic at the moment, but at least Adobe has got its foot in the Windows 8 door with the free Photoshop Express app – you can easily crop pictures, adjust brightness, contrast and colours via on-screen sliders, and add a range of instant filtered looks to your photos.
Everything is mapped out to make the most of a full-screen touch-enabled interface, though the reduce noise tool is a paid-for upgrade, which is a shame. You can import pictures from disc or sync them over the web.
07. Royal Revolt!
One of the very best Windows 8 games available at the moment, Royal Revolt! is a free tower defence title with some beautifully rendered 3D graphics, cartoon-ish sounds and a simple backstory.
The learning curve is just right, so you can pick up the game's various features as you progress through increasingly difficult levels in an attempt to regain your kingdom. You can marshall your troops and plan your attacks using a mouse and keyboard or on a touchscreen.
08. Google Search
Not only does the Windows 8 Google Search app enable you to type (or speak) your queries, it includes a rudimentary web browser to enable you to see the results within the app, as well as access other Google tools such as Gmail and Maps.
Like many Start screen apps, it suffers from too much blank space, but it's an intuitive tool that will be of particular interest if you're heavily invested in the Google ecosystem (you can easily call up your Google search history, for example).
09. Spider Solitaire HD
Windows 8 no longer includes the old favourite Solitaire as a desktop app, so you'll need to find a Start screen app to fill the void. Spider Solitaire HD is the best option we came across, enabling you to choose from several different card and table designs and providing full support for touchscreen users.
The app comes with an advertising banner at the top, but if you like the game you can upgrade to have this removed, which cost 99p at the time of writing.
10. Bing Translator
It's in Microsoft's best interests to get some good quality Windows 8 apps into the Store, and the free Bing Translator tool certainly fits that description.
As well as typing out your queries you can take a webcam shot of signs and documents for instant translations. 40 different languages are supported, including Spanish, French, German and… Klingon. The app also has an offline mode, enabling you to download language packs so you can get quick translations without an internet connection.
11. Comics
The Comixology mobile apps are joined by this impressive Windows 8 version called Comics, which syncs all of your digital comics to the Start screen, as well as enabling you to browse for and purchase new ones with a few mouse clicks or finger taps.
The useful guided view option, which automatically navigates from pane to pane rather than showing the whole page, is carried over from the mobile apps, making it much easier to work your way through the pages.
12. AutoDesk SketchBook Express
Get creative with this stripped-down free version of the full AutoDesk SketchBook, SketchBook Express. There are plenty of brushes and effects to play around with, and this being Windows 8 you can easily operate the app with a touchscreen as well as a keyboard and mouse.
The tutorial will get you up and running with the app's interface within a minute, and then it's down to your drawing and painting abilities. Make use of the symmetry effects and you can create some impressive abstract designs.
13. Cineworld
The official app from Cineworld provides a decent front-end for finding currently playing films and local cinemas – you can browse by movie or by location, see information about films and view trailers where available, though if you actually want to book tickets you'll get kicked out to your default web browser to complete the process.
Even with that annoyance, the ease of use offered by the Cineworld app makes it worth an install for movie lovers, and you can get discounts on tickets if you register for free.
14. My History Digest
My History Digest makes good use of the Windows 8 Start screen format and is simple to browse around. A wealth of historical and scientific information is available through the app and the subsequent issues of MyHistoryDigest.
And while you'll have to pay for much of the content, there are some extensive and well-written free articles that should be enough to give you a taste of the material on offer. The content itself is also well set out and designed to take advantage of widescreen, touch-enabled displays.
15. Sidebar Dictionary
Like the official Twitter app, this is an app that's not just notable for what it does, but by how well it works when docked to the side of the screen. As you've probably surmised, Sidebar Dictionary provides quick definitions pulled from the web, and you can browse back through previous searches and save favourite words for later use.
For £1.79 you can upgrade to the Pro edition, which offers built-in translations and an offline mode, alongside some other extra features.
16. TeamViewer Touch
TeamViewer has long been one of the best and most straightforward remote desktop apps, and free for personal use to boot. The Windows 8 TeamViewer Touch app brings all of that TeamViewer goodness to your Start screen environment, enabling you to access your other computers over the web through a pared-down, touch-friendly interface that's a breeze to use and includes all of the key features you'll need.
If you don't already have a TeamViewer account, you can sign up from within the app itself.
17. Toolbox for Windows 8
A collection of smaller tools for those of you looking for Start screen equivalents for the desktop utilities such as Calculator. Toolbox for Windows 8 includes a clock, calculator, notifier tool, weather badge, stopwatch, notes app, widgets for Facebook and Twitter and more besides (though the Twitter one is a paid-for add-on).
And you can run up to six different tools on screen at once. We were also impressed by the simple animated tutorial that gets you up and running quickly.
18. eBay
The Windows 8 app for eBay is improving all the time – the ability to leave feedback from within the app was included in the latest release – and it's a refreshing way to browse items and auctions when compared with the rather old-fashioned and creaky website at eBay.co.uk.
You can access most of your account functions from within the app, place bids, read messages, monitor your watched items, see daily deals and offers from the site.
19. Metro Commander
One immediate advantage of the Store is it makes it very easy for developers to plug whatever gaps Microsoft might leave. So don't waste time wondering why Microsoft hasn't provided a file manager for the Start Screen, for instance – just install Metro Commander, instead.
The program provides a dual-pane interface on your files and folders, provides easy access to all the usual core functions – View, Rename, Copy, More, New Folder, New File and more – and offers integrated SkyDrive support, too.
Explorer remains far more powerful, of course, but if you need something simple and more touch-friendly, then Metro Commander should do the job.
20. musiXmatch Lyrics
Another advantage of the Store is it means PC software isn't isolated any more, somehow apart from your other devices. If you use the musiXmatch Lyrics app on your iPhone, iPad or Android device, for instance, then good news: it's now free to use on your Windows 8 system, too.
If you're new to musiXmatch, the app makes it easy to locate the lyrics for just about anything in your music collection. And we really do mean anything – the database now holds lyrics for around 6 million songs.
But if you're just feeling bored, you can alternatively browse the latest US and UK hits, listen to them, and watch the videos via YouTube.
21. Reversi Free
This fun version of the classic strategy game Othello is simple, straightforward and easy to use, yet still has more than enough power to keep you entertained for many hours.
And so there are three difficulty levels, for instance. You can go first, or second. And while the AI won't be too challenging if you're skilled at Reversi, if you get tired of the computer then there's an option to engage a human opponent, instead.
All this is presented in an appealing interface, nicely designed to look as though it's pencil-drawn. And this even extends to the sound of a pencil shading in pieces as they change colour (surprisingly, we didn't find this annoying, although if you do then you can turn it off). No bells and whistles, then – just the gaming basics done very well indeed, and that's fine with us.
22. TuneIn Radio
Internet radio has always been a great way to keep yourself entertained, and TuneIn Radio shows off the technology with real style.
The app's huge database (more than 70,000 stations) means you're sure to find something you like, for instance. You can browse by music, sport, news, comedy, chat, language, country, or even just find a local station (assuming you've enabled the app to access to your location).
The program can also maintain a list of your favourite stations, for easy access later. Or you can even pin some to your Start Screen, so you can begin listening at any time with a click.
23. Fractal Photographer
If you've not come across the Mandelbrot Set before, then Fractal Photographer makes an excellent first guide, slowly revealing the fascinating infinity of gorgeous fractal patterns.
The app is perfect for tablets, its multi-touch support enabling you to zoom in or rotate to get the best possible view. But the authors haven't forgotten mouse users, either: you can click to move focus, scroll the mouse wheel to zoom in and out, and everything works just as you'd expect.
The program can also use multiple colour schemes to create new effects. If you find a particularly interesting point then you can bookmark it for easy access later. And a Save option enables you to save HD versions of your best patterns, ready to be shared with others.
24. Multimedia 8
If you're missing Windows Media Centre, then fear not, the Store does have some interesting alternatives – and Multimedia 8 is one of the best.
The program makes it easy to browse your music, video and playlists, for instance. In a click (or a touch) you can access files on a media server, or the web.
And a host of bonus features includes 3D video support; the ability to convert videos to MP4 or WMV; playlist creation, DLNA media streaming, subtitle support (SRT/ WebVTT), video stabilisation, video and audio capture, and more.
25. News Bento
Whatever your view on the introduction of the Windows 8 Modern interface is, there's no doubt that its apps can look fantastic, and News Bento is a perfect example.
Launch the app and a group of tiles show you constantly-updating news photos and headlines from top US sites. A host of others are available via the "more news" link, and Google Reader support combined with RSS search provides easy access to your other online favourites.
Choose a source and story summaries are neatly displayed in various panels. And most conveniently, clicking any of these (for the sources bundled with the program, anyway) displays its content within the app, so there's no irritating switching to and from an external browser.
26. Free Books
There's more to ebooks than Amazon and Kindle: no, really. And by way of evidence, look no further than Free Books. This attractive app offers more than 23,000 free books (mostly old classics), neatly organised by category and author, with an interesting selection of "Featured" books if you just want to browse.
Double-click any book to download it to your library. Double-click again to read it; tap right or left to turn the appropriate page; and of course the app remembers your current page, so if you leave it and come back later then you'll be able to carry on where you left off.
Some people may feel the app is a little too basic, and it would certainly benefit from settings to adjust text size, colours and so on. The simplicity does mean Free Books is very simple to use, though, and on balance it'll be a great addition to most systems.
27. Dredd vs Zombies
Mega-City One is in terrible danger of a zombie invasion. And even though this game has been a hit with iOS and Android users, they still haven't saved the day – which means that now it's your turn.
After equipping yourself for the battle ahead (there's your trusty Lawgiver pistol, assorted other weapons, body armour and more) this fast-paced top-down shooter throws you into 30 levels of hectic, challenging combat.
This isn't really a game for PCs, unfortunately – the mouse interface is relatively poor, making it hard to recommend for a conventional desktop. But on a tablet (or anything else with a touch interface) Dredd vs Zombies proves to be an entertaining game that offers plenty of zombie-killing fun.
28. WeatherBug
Launch this comprehensive weather app and you'll immediately gain access to detailed information on your current weather conditions, as well as what's coming your way in the next few days.
A powerful Maps module gives you the big picture, with satellite imagery, humidity, temperature, pressure, wind speed and more. Live Tile support keeps you informed about conditions from your very own Start Screen, and you can also have WeatherBug raise a custom notification to warn you about rain, snow, fog, freezing temperature and more.
On the down side, the ads can be annoying, and we had some issues animating the radar maps. But this is still a very powerful and configurable weather app.
29. Daily Wallpapers
Windows 8 comes with some attractive and eye-catching images for the lock screen, but let's be realistic – you'll be bored with them before long. And that's where Daily Wallpapers comes in. This app can customise your system with images found in local folders, on Facebook, SkyDrive, or perhaps that you've just taken with the system's camera (if you have one).
The real fun is to be had in the "Today's Wall" and "Trending Images" sections, though, where you can browse a host of gorgeous images (with new examples added every day), and set up your favourite to be displayed on the lock screen.
And many of the images are so beautiful that you can waste plenty of time just browsing them in Slideshow mode (although the ads sometimes spoil the atmosphere, since they can be a little intrusive).
30. Wikipedia
While it's a fabulous website, packed with essential information, Wikipedia has never quite looked as glossy as the best print encyclopaedias. But the Windows 8 app changes all that.
Launch it and gorgeous "featured pictures" catch your eye immediately, for instance. Clicking any of these drills down to the relevant article, carefully formatted for better display on mobile devices.
Scroll to the right and you'll find a similar set of "featured articles", a collection of events that happened "on this day" and links to recently changed pages, all useful as starting points for browsing. But best of all, once the app is installed, you can search Wikipedia at any time from the regular Windows 8 Search tool. And you just know that's going to be very useful indeed.
31. SnagFilms
There's nothing on TV. Again. Annoying, but it doesn't have to be a problem – not if you've installed the SnagFilms app. This simple tool provides on-demand access to thousands of independent films, for free, whenever and wherever you want (as long as your internet connection is up to it, anyway).
Start by browsing the site's categories – Thriller, Comedy, Drama, Family Friendly, Science and Nature and more – and you'll find all kinds of offerings, from obscure shorts to major pictures with big Hollywood names.
And you can then read more details about the movie, add it to your own movie library, or start watching in just a click or two.
32. Skype
Following Microsoft's acquisition of Skype, it's a bit of a no brainer that the world's leading internet calling software would arrive on Windows 8 sporting a new interface that compliments Windows 8's distinctive look.
Skype's integration with Windows 8 isn't just cosmetic though, as a lot of effort has been put into making sure that the app takes full advantage of Windows 8's new features. One of the most useful features is that Skype will run in the background, even if the PC is locked or the app has been closed down. This means that you don't have to worry about missing important calls. Microsoft has also worked hard on minimising the Skype app's impact on battery life, especially when running in the background, making this easily one of the most useful apps for Windows 8.
33. Norton Studio
Norton Studio is a free app that's been created to make protecting your Windows 8 device as quick and easy as possible. Of course, there's one proviso; you need to be running Norton AntiVirus or Norton 360 as your primary antivirus protection software. That's not particularly a bad thing though, as Symantec has worked hard on making sure that its Norton products and Windows 8 work brilliantly together. In third-party tests Norton products on Windows 8 perform 50 per cent faster than the built in Windows Defender software. It has also been able to pick up threats and viruses that Windows Defender has missed.
Norton Studio fits into Windows 8 very well, with at a glance security status updates and quick access to additional features, all from within Windows 8's modern user interface. If you have other devices that are covered by your Norton subscription then you can easily update, renew and check on their protection status as well.
34. Shazam
If you've ever wanted to know the name of a song when it's played over the radio or during an advert, then you'll love the Shazam service, which has just launched a Windows 8 app. It uses some pretty clever technology to record and analyse the song that's playing (via your device's microphone) and then searches for a match. You can then explore more music by the artist, as well as buy and download tracks straight to your device. The Shazam Windows 8 app includes social sharing features that let you share music you've found with friends over Facebook and Twitter. You can also bring up lyrics to a song with a simple touch of a button, as well as view music reviews and biographies. The app looks great in Windows 8 and is easy to use, and there are hints of close integration with Windows Phone 8 in the near future as well.
35. Netflix
The Netflix app for Windows 8 is one of those apps that's going to turn your Windows 8 device from a gadget you occasionally play around with to one that is barely ever out of your hands. It brings Netflix's huge library of movies and TV shows on demand to Windows 8 in an elegant and attractive interface that has been purposely designed for touch interfaces. For example you can get a better view of Netflix's catalogue by 'pinching' your fingers on the screen to zoom out. It's a little feature but it adds a lot to the overall feel of Netflix on a touchscreen device.
A more crucial feature of the Netflix app is that it has been made as efficient as possible in order to get the best battery life possible from your device, so hopefully you won't have to pause for a recharge during an epic movie or Breaking Bad marathon.
36. 7digital
The 7digital app was one of the first apps to go live in Windows 8, appearing in the preview version of the new operating system a couple of months before Windows 8 even launched, and it fitted in well from the start. With a store that contains around 20 million songs, it's a music service that has something for everyone. If you're already a customer with 7digital you can import your collection to your Windows 8 device with ease. All tracks are DRM free, which means you can easily copy your purchased music to any of your devices without any problems, as well as using the cloud to synchronise your library. Before you buy you can preview 30 seconds of any track to make sure you get the song you're after. It's a versatile music service with a huge amount of variety, all wrapped up in a great Windows 8 app.
37. National Rail Enquiries
You can avoid a lot of the stress of travelling by train with this great Windows 8 app. You can quickly use the National Rail Enquiries app to find out when the next train home is with a single touch of a button, as well as booking tickets and getting the best fares. This app integrates with your device's location services so it can locate the closest station to where you are, without you needing to type in anything. When the app is pinned to your Start screen it's live tile will update with any service announcements as well. If you travel a lot by train, then this is an essential app.
38. Sky News
The Sky News app brings breaking news to your Windows 8 device. While the bulk of the news is text-based, embedded video helps to bring more background details and analysis to the stories. There are various categories, including breaking news, making it easy to navigate the app and find the news stories that you want. You can also watch live streaming video from the Sky News channel straight from the app, as well as videos for the weather and a three-minute catch-up video that brings you the latest headlines. Overall this is an excellent app, which gives you the latest news from a well trusted source.
39. Star Chart
Star Chart is a fantastic education and reference app that lets you explore the night sky and our solar system with your Windows 8 device. Whilst you can use it on a desktop PC or all-in-one, a Windows 8 tablet is preferable. The Star Chart uses the tablet's GPS to pin point your position, so you can point your tablet towards a part of the sky you want to find out about and the Star Chart will name everything that's above you. If you don't have a tablet or GPS, never fear, as you can navigate around the sky by touch or using your mouse and keyboard.
Exploring the sky is incredibly simple, and if you select a star, constellation, satellite or planet you'll be given even more in depth information, as well as photographs from telescopes.
40. MTV News
News doesn't always have to be all doom and gloom. Sometimes we just want to know which superstar is dating another mega famous celebrity, or who's got a new film out. The MTV News app is a great place to get all the celebrity gossip, along with photos and videos of the biggest entertainment stories of the moment.
MTV is well known in the entertainment industry, so you can expect excellent exclusives that you won't get anywhere else, as well as interviews with some of the most famous people in the world. Make sure you're kept in the loop with this great app.

Stuttgart is spread across surrounding hills. It is very green and often you will spot vineyards and parks. Stuttgart is surprising. Being the cradle of the automobile one expects an industrial city and gets so much more. But you'll also find historic architecture as well as exclusive art exhibitions and a world class ballet.
Ludwigsburg, the baroque residence city is situated just north of Stuttgart and worth visiting. But we will follow the route southwards to Lake Constance, making a stopover in Waldenbuch.
Nearby we will arrive at Tübingen, a historic university town with a charming architectonic flair combined with a versatile cultural life in a lovely setting. Making a punt tour on the Neckar admiring the view to the "Neckar Front" – one of the loveliest scenes portraying medieval architecture is only one possibility the city offers. Make a trip to Bebenhausen Cistercian Monastery on the Way of St. James, visit chocolART – Germanys biggest chocolate festival in December, situated amidst the medieval city center, illuminated by artificial chocolate motifs after sunset, taste the "Tübinger Kirschle" – a praline combining the ingredients of the world most famous "Black Forest Cake".
Before ascending the Swabian Mountains we will stop in Hechingen to visit one of the most famous castles of Germany, Hohenzollern Castle, the ancestral seat of the imperial House of Hohenzollern.
Charming Bad Urach is a spa town combining a historic town center and it is the birthplace of the famous "Brezel" first baked in Bad Urach. The town is a Castle Residence, home of the Counts of Württemberg-Urach.
Another castle worth visiting is situated right on the edge of the Swabian Mountains, romantic and lovely situated Lichtenstein Castle. Following the route by ascending the Swabian Mountains we will find an impressing biosphere reserve and the GeoPark with wonderful caves, lush nature and lots of gastronomic and chocolate destinations characterized by the splendid regional products with focus on quality and sustainability.
From the Swabian Alps we follow the route to Lake Constance, Friedrichshafen home of the "Zeppelin". A Zeppelin-Tour, a visit of the Zeppelin Museum Friedrichshafen with the largest aviation collection and a stopover in a fine café with handmade chocolates complete the itinerary.

TamTam lights07. Nov2011
TamTam light consists in a large central lampshade (50cm) in lacquered aluminium, to which are attached smaller lampshades like satellites (35cm). The satellites lampshades are adjustable 350º through a swivel mechanism.
The light that comes from the lampshades is diffused through an opalescent methacrylate surface which softens the light.
TamTam is suitable for any space. Its configuration, with the lampshades that can be arranged in so many different positions and in different colors, allows to create vast, multi-coloured ceilings and spaces, each one different from any other. TamTam is available with three or five satellite lampshades and each one can be personalised in any of the following colours: black, white, orange, tobacco, green or grey.
Fabien Dumas presents the TamTam light in cooperation with the Spain based company Marset.
'TamTam' light was submitted for the "DIY" feature hosted by Designboom.

Here it is like promised a little more info on Fitchburg.
The first day was the time trial that was held on mostly an uphill drag for the first 8km followed by a quick downhill section for the final 2km's. I started out a bit quick catching my 30 second man within the first 1km or 2. I was doing pretty good until the end when I could tell I wasn't pouring it on as hard as I should have coming into the finish, but I was still able to manage 5th. Are team was in good position with three riders inside the top 20.
The second day was the circuit race. The team put in a phenaminal effort in on this one. Our guys started to attack half way into the race which led to Dewald and Norton in two separate breaks, and Norton being able to grab the green sprinters jersey in his late race escape that got caught on the final lap. I threw out an attack on the final lap, but I didn't get very far and more or less everyone was ready and setting up for the sprint finish. Luckily are sprinter Alejandro was ready to go and came across the line first. I came across the line safely in 9th place and still holding my GC placing heading into the road race.
The third day was the big day with the ride up Wachussette Mountain. Once again our team did a terrific job following some moves and we were marking the key riders that we felt would affect the GC. Eventually 2 groups of 4 riders escaped up the road and joined together to make the break of the day. We played it very cool, almost to cool as I was getting a bit worried before we started to help reel back in the break. With 3 laps to go they had built up a gap of 5 minutes and soon enough the gap started to slide in our favor. On the following lap the gap was down to 3 1/2 minutes. Going up the feed zone climb going into the last lap a few riders attacked and Alejandro and I made a group of 8 going into the last lap down by 2 1/2 minutes with the ascent up the finishing climb coming.
Alejandro kept the pace on one of the stair step climbs just before the feed zone climb and I was on his wheel as we opened a gap. We hit hard from there on as the race was still up the road. We actually were able to catch 6 of the 8 riders in the final 2km's. From there I was on my own chasing down the two leaders. I was able to ride across the line with Cam Evans, but was unable to close the 15 second gap to Page. In the process though I had opened up a big enough gap over everyone else and had grabbed the lead in the overall classification. Alejandro put in a strong effort as well and was able to move into 3rd place overall. I was super excited and with the effort the team put in it was well deserved and earned.
The final day was the criterium and us holding onto a lead of 19 seconds and two riders on the podium for the GC we wanted to keep that safe. We were more then happy to see a break go in the criterium that contained no dangerous riders and we could ride on the front to keep in close with VMG. The laps couldn't click by fast enough, but soon enough we were under 10 and the break was coming back, and the attacks started again. I followed Evans around (who was in 2nd) like he was my best friend as he was trying some last mintue attacks. Soon enough we were on the final lap and the field sprint was about to begin. Alejandro and I crossed the line safely and it was first and 3rd for us on the final GC.
I was so pumped to get my first stage race victory and I have been dreaming of this for a while. Im just so glad to have been surronded by people who have supported and encouraged me along the way and who have helped make this possible. Hopefully there will be plenty more along the way.
Thanks for everything,
Breeze On

For the second year in a row, Annapolis was graced with strong breeze and sunny skies for the 45th annual Raceweek. Some of the folks at APS raced this weekend and came back to work today with raccoon eyes and sore muscles, wishing the Labor Day weekend was 4 days instead of 3. Everyone survived the tiring races and made it back to the office with accounts from their side of the race course…

This year's Annapolis Race was chock full of good take-aways for myself and crew aboard a Beneteau 40.7. I found myself in a position that I don't often do and had to adapt quickly in a competitive, albeit smaller than usual A1 fleet. The breeze was typically around 10-12 knots which made for three days of exciting racing. Sunday's racing was slightly breezier and also made for some alright surfing conditions as the wind had been consistently from
the south all weekend. We managed to get the boat in gear, motoring upwind and often found ourselves rounding the windward mark in the mix, but our few extra pounds made staying with the significantly lighter Thompson 30 and Farr 30 downwind a challenge. The weekend highlighted the importance of changing gears as we often found ourselves struggling to adapt quickly as conditions evolved. This was the result of our relative inexperience in the boat; our learning curve is still quite steep and I think we all learned a lot about the boat.
Off the water, things were fun as usual. It was my first major Annapolis regatta since moving to Annapolis proper. Being able to walk to the regatta party and still sleep in my own bed was great. I want to shout out thanks to our skipper and the rest of the crew for some great work all weekend. Thanks to all the boats that came out in the A1 fleet, hopefully we'll have better numbers next year (It was also pretty exciting watching the 20+ A2 fleet on our course). Hopefully we'll see you all at IRC Mid Atlantics!

For CBYRA Annapolis Race Week I was sailing on a J-109 in PHRF Class A2. The weather conditions were fantastic for all 3 days. Saturday brought 10-12kts, Sunday 12-14kts, and Monday 14-16kts. The AYC Committee work was fantastic and quickly banged off 8 total races with very little lag in between. This is absolutely the most competitive PHRF fleet I have ever seen by the sheer volume of very competitive boats and 21 boats on the line.
Anyone on the racecourse was happy to finish in the top third in a race as it was definitely a keeper score. On Sunday for race 3 there were 3 general recalls and the race committee brought out the black flag to finally get a start off. When was the last time you saw a black flag in a PHRF fleet?!? In any case, it was a great weekend of racing and although our results were not what I had hoped for, it was nice to sail in some consistent breeze, hopefully the start of some great fall sailing in Annapolis. Thanks to the skipper and crew or a great time, thanks to the AYC Race Committee for great committee work as always, and Mother Nature for providing the breeze.

The wind was great, the sandwiches were wonderful, and our crew was spectacular! These ingredients all made for a great race week!
I really have nothing bad to say about the entire weekend, the weather was predicting to be light and variable with more than a healthy chance of rain……. But we were surprised with great breeze and no rain, Mother Nature was very gracious!
I got a good taste of teamwork this weekend and our first place finish on Velocity really reflected it! Well done to our competition on the J111 Ragin'! This was Ragin's first regatta and the crew sailed and looked great with some help of Crügear.
A big shout out to Marty, Wayne, Kenny, all the Velocity crew, Kathy for the Snacktician Sandwiches, the great race committee, and folks at CBYRA for a great regatta!

Dental Exams
Dental exams are an important part of proper diagnosis, and include evaluation of both hard and soft tissue inside the mouth. They include the evaluation of patients' teeth for cavities and other dental concerns such as fracturing and abrasion. When necessary, dental x-rays may be a critical part of the diagnostic process. Be aware that Dr. Victor only takes x-rays that are necessary for proper diagnosis. Also know that we have implemented low dose rate digital x-rays here at Springfield Smiles. This allows us to reduce patient radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional film based x-rays.
During cleaning and comprehensive exams, Dr. Victor also thoroughly evaluates the oral cavity for the identification of benign and cancerous lesions If necessary, appropriate treatments (such as antibiotics, antifungals, biopsies, etc…) may be prescribed. For more information on common mouth sores such as cankers and cold sores, visit the American Dental Association's website on mouth sores.
When necessary, Dr. Victor discusses potential restorative and preventative procedures with the patient to ensure they have a thorough understanding of the options, and then together they decide on appropriate treatment.
When is it appropriate to bring in your child for an exam and cleaning? The ADA recommends regular dental check-ups, including a visit to the dentist within six months of the eruption of the first tooth, and no later than the child's first birthday. Dr. Victor endorses this policy, and as the child grow, he encourages you to bring your child with you to your exams in order for them to get used to the Dentist's office. Dr. Victor offers free exams for children under 5, or until a treatment need is identified, whichever is sooner.
Preventive care such as cleanings and fluoride treatments provide your child with "smile" insurance. Routine dental exams uncover problems that can be treated in the early stages, when damage is minimal and restorations may be small. Our low dose digital dental radiographs (X-rays) are taken only when necessary, in order to see how the teeth are developing and to spot hidden decay.
Oral Cancer Screenings
At Springfield Smiles, we routinely perform oral cancer screenings as a part of our dental examination. Regular check-ups, including an examination of the entire mouth, are essential in the early detection of cancerous and pre-cancerous conditions. Oral Cancer often starts as a tiny, unnoticed white or red spot or sore, and can affect any area of the oral cavity including the lips, gum tissue, cheek lining, tongue and the hard or soft palate.
Other signs can include an unexplained sore that bleeds easily or does not heal within 2 weeks, or a color change of the oral tissues. It may also present as a pain or numbness anywhere in the mouth or on the lips, or manifest itself as a change in the way the teeth fit together. Although many of the lesions that present themselves like this are harmless, some are not. Typically over 30,000 Americans get oral cancers every year, and since early detection of these lesions greatly improves patient outcome, it is important to have your dentist regularly screen for these lesions.
If you notice something different about your mouth and aren't sure what it is, we encourage you to come see Dr. Victor for an exam. For more information, visit the American Dental Association's website on oral cancers.

As the Loeb Classical Library continues its program of overhauling and updating older editions, the revised Aristophanes now reaches its third volume. While the older set by Benjamin Bickley Rogers had much of value, his Victorian style of translation did little to make Aristophanes accessible and comprehensible for the broad audience targeted by the Loeb series. Fortunately, Jeffrey Henderson (H.), easily the most accomplished scholar of Aristophanes in North America, has taken on the task of reworking these volumes, making them everything they should be. The third volume (the revision entails an expansion from three volumes in the old series to four) covers Birds, Lysistrata, and Women at the Thesmophoria (Thesmophoriazusae). The two previous volumes have already received positive reviews in BMCR (1999.05.17 and 1999.07.11), so I will concentrate only on the contents of this volume. It continues the high standard set by the previous volumes.
Each play receives a brief introduction to its history, interpretation, and textual tradition. H. finds Birds largely apolitical and reflecting the general optimism which accompanied the jubilation prior to the failure of the Sicilian expedition. He calmly but firmly downplays two readings of the play which have been much aired in scholarly discourse: that of the grandiose utopia and that of the sinister warning against hubristic arrogance. Those who prefer these readings or who fundamentally disagree with H.'s model of how comic poets participated in the political life of classical Athens (see the first volume in the series and H.'s other works), may take exception with even his general description of the play. He is, I believe, correct to take the play much more at face value than these other readings allow. By contrast, H. finds Lysistrata more politically engaged, although he sensibly emphasizes the multiple cultural contexts (gender roles, cult, etc.) which Aristophanes brings to bear on the play. For Thesmophoriazusae, H. offers a more literary reading, where Aristophanes punishes Euripides for transgressing against the genre of comedy in tandem with the women of the play punishing him for transgressing against their sex. In each case, H. provides the necessary background for readers in a clear and accessible manner.
The printed text continues to meet the goals of the series. H. offers a smooth Greek text. With a play as vexed as Birds, it is impossible for any two specialists to be happy with every choice, but H. does a good job providing a sensible and workable Greek script. For Lysistrata, of course, H. has done much to establish the modern text of the play. Here he differs from his own Oxford edition in a handful of places. At 316, he adopts προσείσει in place of his former choice προσοίσεις; at 398 ακολαστάσματα for ακολαστήσματα; at 448 ἐκκοκκιῶ for ἐγὼ ̓κποκιῶ; at 487, ἀπεκλῄσατε for ἀπεκλείσατε; at 488, κατέχοιμεν for παρέχοιμεν; AT 653, γενόμενον for λεγόμενον at 723, τὴν δ' αὐτομολοῦσαν for κἀπαυτομολοῦσαν; at 742, Ἰλείθυ' for Ειλείθυ'; at 795, τ' for δ'; at 843 and 1088, ξυν- for συν-; at 885, γὰρ for μὲν; at 901 and 902, ἢν for ἂν; at 933, ἀλλὰ for ἆρα; at 1061, κἄστι μὲν for κἄστιν; at 1064, γίγνεσθ' for γεύσεσθ'; at 1174 πρῲ rather than obelizing πρῶτα, plus minor punctuation and formatting changes. In two places, H. has changed the attributions of lines. He gives lines 107-110 to Kalonike (rather than to Lysistrata) and Myrrhine finishes off line 884 rather than Kinesias cutting in with τί γὰρ πάθω;. H. has also adopted different colometry in most of the odes (256ff, 336ff, 477ff, 659ff, 781ff, 1043ff). Also, H. now divides the odes between chorus leaders and the choruses.
The translation especially shines. H. has translated Aristophanes before, for Focus Press, but he provides a totally different, and much sharper translation here. Compare, for example, from Lysistrata, the command for attention given by the leader of the women's semichorus (648-57):
(Focus translation)With good advice we want to pay you back.Don't worry that it comes from Jill not Jack.Consider it on its merits. Anyway,we bear the children and deserve our say.What contribution do these old men make?They never seem to give, but only take.We pay for all their laws, their wars, their theft.And they'll keep taking till there's nothing left.Old men, I warn you: better hold your peace.You make a sound, we'll kick you in the teeth!
(Loeb translation)Thus I owe it to the polis to offer some good advice. And even if I was born a woman, don't hold it against me if I manage to suggest something better than what we've got now. I have a stake in our community: my contribution is men. You miserable geezers have no stake, since you've squandered your paternal inheritance, won in the Persian Wars, and now pay no taxes in return. On the contrary, we're all headed for bankruptcy on account of you! Have you anything to grunt in rebuttal? Any more trouble from you and I'll clobber you with this rawhide boot right in the jaw! (raises her foot at the Men's Leader)
As previous reviewers have noted, these are good days for scholars of Greek comedy. The Kassel-Austin collection of fragments is nearing completion (with the collection of remains of early comedy, the last volume of fragments, due any day). Alan Sommerstein's series of commentaries stands just one volume (Plutus) from completion. New Oxford commentaries on Knights (by H. himself) and Acharnians (by Olson, who recently revamped Peace) are in progress. The embarrassment of riches continues as H.'s new Loeb Aristophanes comes one volume nearer completion.
