Well hello there, I'm back! I took an unintentional summer break from blogging. Why you ask....well my oldest took a trip to Nana's, my younger two some how caught a nasty staph infection, potty training, schedule, computer crashed, and then I decided to run away to France for a week long getaway in solitude. Ok maybe not the last one but a girl can dream right. Seriously though, it's been crazy around here. A computer crash to a blogger is devastating! Our desktop was as slow as a snail and impossible to function on. So we took the dive we'd been considering for awhile and completely went Apple! New mac, router/hard drive and iPads....which don't get me wrong I LOVE our new setup...but even though I consider my self semi computer savy it's like learning to ride a bike a whole different way. All the tricks and habits of using a PC for two decades really throws you for a loop. But I'm quickly adjusting and really, really loving it. So for today I finally took the time to figure out how to load/edit/post pictures so I could get back to blogging!
Enough techie talk....ready for some sweets? Today I'm sharing a new product from our friends over at Duncan Hines, new Decadent Red Velvet Cupcakes.....with frosting! Yep, the frosting mix is in the box and even a pastry bag! These little babies are kinda special to me because I was actually able to try these out during my trip to Duncan Hines and they were so kind to send a box home with me. I saved it of course until it hit shelves so I could share it with you! (which was two weeks ago but hey I was having a rough time remember)
So last week I had the perfect chance to try it out when I realized at 9 am I was suppose to send dessert to the Hub's office carry in..whoops. Here's what's inside the box: cake mix, frosting mix, and a pastry bag. I love the idea of including a pastry bag. For those that who don't bake as a hobby and don't have one on hand it's great news...and for those of us that do it's just one more bag we don't have to replace! :)
For the cupcakes I mixed them up exactly as directed, I always try things once before altering. I can honestly say that came out perfect...and I don't think they needed anything else!
I used my normal 3TBS for each cupcake, which was the perfect amount. Remember this is a cupcake mix so it only makes 12.
Then I baked at a 325 degrees for 14 minutes. I often bake cupcakes at 325 because I prefer how they rise with a lower temp. These little guys perked up like perfect little cupcakes.
Now for the icing, which I did alter. The instructions only require you to mix in 1 stick butter and water which I did try at first. But I could tell just by looking there was no way that amount was going to ice all 12 cupcakes for me let alone fill as stated on the box. Also it was a little sweet for me. My very easy solution was to add in one 8oz box of cream cheese. Perfection! It gave it much more of a cream cheese flavor, cut down on the sweetness, and made it stretch much farther...win/win to me :)
I should also add this product is made to also fill the cupcakes. In order to do that you simply fill the icing bag provided and cut a small amount of the tip the stick in the cupcake and apply pressure and fill, then ice in a swirl. When I fill cupcake I generally fill it with somethinng different from the icing so I skipped this step and iced them regular. Of course however you'd like to do it will be fine....really I've never had somebody refuse a cupcake for too much icing.
So that's it! Super simple cupcakes and icing right from a box. My taste tester reviews were awesome! But don't just trust me...go try some yourself!

NEW YORK -- Lindsay Whalen has decided to retire from USA Basketball.
Don't worry, Minnesota Lynx fans. She still plans to play in the WNBA for a few more years.
"I felt like it was a good time to step away from USA Basketball," Whalen told The Associated Press in a phone interview. "I never imagined I'd be on the 2012 and '16 Olympic teams and have it end with that in Rio. I felt good about that. Obviously, I went back and forth a lot. I love USA Basketball and the culture around it. I loved the time I had with the other players you get to play with."
Whalen, 35, won two Olympic gold medals and two at the world championships. Last fall, she was picked for the 2017-20 national team pool, but decided after long consideration to stop playing for the United States. She felt that she wouldn't be able to fully commit the time necessary to be part of the 2020 Olympic team and felt it was time to give someone else a chance.
"If I had played in worlds [this year], and a year or two from now had said I'm ready to be done playing, that wouldn't be fair to them," Whalen said.
Sue Bird, 37, and Diana Taurasi, 35, have already said they hope to play in the 2020 Olympics, if healthy. If Whalen had stayed, that would've given the U.S. three players close to 40 in the backcourt.
Now the U.S. can look to find a young guard to be groomed by Bird, Taurasi and coach Dawn Staley.
"This player will get these training camps and earn their spot like I did and learn from two of the best guards all time -- three when you include the coach. Whoever it will be will have a wealth of knowledge to lean on," Whalen said.
The U.S. will hold a training camp next weekend in South Carolina with 22 players expected to attend, including young guards Skylar Diggins-Smith, Layshia Clarendon, Chelsea Gray and Kelsey Plum.
"Lindsay Whalen is probably my favorite point guard of all time, and that's nothing against Sue Bird. But, Lindsay, I like her swag. I like her toughness. I like her mindset," Staley said. "She's always thinking about ways in which to outfox the opponent. I'm just sad that I don't get an opportunity to coach her in this capacity, but I'm glad that I got a chance to coach her when I was an assistant coach on the 2014 and 2016 USA teams."
While Whalen will always cherish the Olympic gold medals she won, her favorite memory was her first time playing with USA Basketball. She was on the Under-21 World Championship qualifying team and playing in Brazil. She was 20 at the time.
"It was the second time I had been out of the country and when we went to Brazil, we ate at every Brazilian steakhouse. I'd never seen anything like it," Whalen recalled, laughing. "I also was obsessed with jerseys then. I was wearing a Brazilian soccer jersey to and from practices and the fans loved it. I got to know some Brazilians because of it."
Whalen has kept busy this winter after helping the Lynx win their fourth title in seven years. She has been a broadcaster for some Minnesota Timberwolves and college games.
"I liked this angle of the game," she said. "Being close to the action, breaking down a team. Watching video has helped me this season."
She was also inducted into the Minnesota high school basketball hall of fame in the inaugural class.
"That was neat," she said.
Although she would have loved to see her beloved Minnesota Vikings play in the Super Bowl this weekend in Minneapolis, Whalen has taken some solace in the play of 40-year-old Tom Brady.
"He gives you inspiration to keep doing it. This year after we won our fourth, I thought about it a little more," Whalen said. "You want to go chase another one with your teammates. I'm not going to put any years on it, of course. I think the big thing is keeping your body in mind and being fresh for the season."
Whalen broke her hand last season. She had surgery, and seven screws and a plate were put in her hand and arm.
"At this point, I'm probably year to year," she said.

A.Y. Jackson
Canadian, 1882–1974
October Evening, 1934
oil on canvas
73.9 x 81.4 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Chief Justice G. Tritschler
© Carleton University Art Gallery, Ottawa
Painting, Canadian Modern (1910-1979)
Gifted to the WAG the year of the artist's death in 1974, October Evening is at once a surging and retiring image. The contrasting traceries of blue shadow and flaming autumn foliage rush like veins and arteries in opposite directions over what are most likely the La Cloche Mountains, north of Lake Huron. The rolling terrain reflects a lazy light at the early onset of dusk. The year before this work was painted, the Group of Seven, of which Jackson had been a devoted member, disbanded and reformed as the Canadian Group of Painters. In a more concerted way than the Group of Seven had, this new association, which included a younger demographic, sought to artistically represent the diversity of landscapes that existed within Canada. Over the ensuing decades, Jackson himself would travel to increasingly remote regions of the country to paint.

text: Febuary 2013, a great time to be in Death Valley California. Especially if you live in Michigan and your covered in snow. My name is Todd and eight of my friends decided to go have an adventure in the desert. Our journey begins in the suburbs of Detroit. Since it is snowy and too cold to ride, I mount my KTM to the hitch hauler and make my way to Andy's garage. We are assembling our bikes in our friend Andy's garage. Andy and my other good friend Btome have raced the Baja and their racing efforts have resulted in Andy aquiring what we like to call the booby trailer. This is the rig that will deliver our five bikes in Detroit and 3 more in the Chicago area to Death Valley. We will be going to Tecopa Springs where Traveltoad will meet us to begin the adventure. Here we load the bikes into the booby trailer. Andy rides a KTM 660 that was ridden by Charlie Russo in Dakar. His bike sounds like pure evil when he cracks the throttle. My KTM 640 is beside his. Here is Btome's KTM 950 and Joe's Dog's Suzuki DR. Here is the chase truck that tows the booby trailer. We are all very fortunate that Andy lets us use his rig to tow eight bikes across the country. We will be flying to Las Vegas to meet our bikes the following week. Once the bikes are loaded the truck heads west to pick up Bigtraillie's Honda XR650 in Jackson Michigan, and Radak, Mark, and Peter's bikes in Chicago. Radak rides Jonah Street's old Yamaha 450 rallye bike the Jonah rode in the Dakar. Mark rides a KTM 640, and Peter rides a KTM LC4. It takes two and a half days for Mark to pull the rig across the country. We fly to Vegas and meet Trailtoad and Mark in Tacopa Springs. Here is some of our crew. We are excited to get the bikes out of the trailer after arriving late the night before. Tacopa Springs like most Death Valley towns is only around because they have water. Bigtraillie aka Matt with his XR. Do you wonder why it is called the booby trailer? He is the only guy with a kick start only bike. We bust his chops constantly that he needs a KTM. We all have big gas tanks except Joe and Matt. Silly Honda. Kick,kick,kick..... Bruno looks excited to start the trip. Did I mention Matt and Joe's small gas tanks? They used these little bottles to store more gas. We leave the truck and trailer to eat breakfast at the Crowbar. We love to eat. There is a museum next to the Crowbar. Lots of desert stuff. Once finished with breakfast we go back to the truck and wait for Traveltoad who is riding his KTM 950 from LA. Here is the spring at Tacopa. Not much but water is water. Here is Mark's 640 next to mine. Aaron arrives on his 950. Bruno fixes a leaky fuel line. I can't stop taking pictures of my bike. I love it. This is the first time that I will be riding in the desert where this bike was ment to be.

Lyrics:First verseThe sun arose in beauty, The birds caroled their song; Sweet flowers sent forth their fragrance, And decked the verdant lawn. But sad my heart was breaking, No gleam of sunshine there, All, all was drear and darkling, No comfort, e'en in prayer. For 'twas the morn they laid you, Dear Eva, in thy grave, E'en now my heart is breaking, O God, in pity save. Thou knowest human weakness, Thou knowest human wo; O take me to those mansions Where heavenly waters flow.Second verseThere, 'mid seraphic beings, I'll meet my darling one, And join with her in singing Amid that heavenly throng. Forever and forever Our swelling songs shall rise; O take me to those mansions Far, far beyond the skies.Third verseAgain the sun in beauty Arose in cloudless dawn; Again sweet flowers in fragrance Bloomed gaily o'er the lawn. But Uncle Tom ne'er heeds them, He's joined the angel throng, And strikes his harp immortal To Eva's heavenly song.

Incident Metering
Because incident metering reads the intensity of light falling on the subject, it provides readings that will create accurate and consistent rendition of the subject's tonality, color, and contrasts regardless of reflectance, background color, brightness, or subject textures. Subjects that appear lighter than middle gray to your eye will appear lighter in the finished image. Subjects that are darker than middle gray will appear darker. Colors will be rendered accurately and highlight and shadow areas will fall naturally into place. Neat trick, eh?
Because reflected metering reads the intensity of light reflecting off of the subject, it is easily fooled by variances in tonality, color, contrast, background brightness, surface textures, and shape. What you see is often not at all what you get. Reflected meters do a good job of reading the amount of light bouncing off of a subject—the trouble is they don't take into account any other factors in the scene. They are merciless in recording all things as a medium tone.
Reflected measurements of any single tone area, for instance, will result in a neutral gray rendition of that object. Subjects that appear lighter than gray (like a white cat) will reflect excess light, causing them to record darker than they appear. Subjects that are darker than gray (like a black cat) will reflect less light and produce an exposure that renders them lighter—in other words, a gray cat instead of a black one.

Former UMBC attackman Scott Jones (Port Coquitlam, B.C./Terry Fox) was selected by the Minnesota Swarm as the seventh selection overall in the 2013 National Lacrosse League Entry Draft. The draft took place at Toronto Rock Athletic Centre (TRAC) in Oakville, Ontario on Monday, Sept. 16.
"Congratulations to Scott Jones on being selected seventh overall in the NLL draft," said UMBC Head Coach Don Zimmerman. " Everyone associated with the Retriever lacrosse program is delighted for Scott and his family for this well-deserved recognition and wish him continued success as he moves forward into the pro ranks."
Jones was Minnesota's fourth selection, as the Swarm had obtained four of the first seven picks in the draft.
"Scott is a big, athletic, right-handed scorer who makes our right-side very formidable," Swarm owner and governor John Arlotta said. "He's also a very unselfish player who will fit right into our approach to share the ball on offense. Scott comes very highly recommended as a player who is great both on and off the floor."
Jones was the men's lacrosse team's offensive leader for the past three seasons. He earned three America East all-conference honors, including first team recognition in 2012, when he finished eighth in the nation in goals scored per game. In 2013, he became the 30th player in school history to record 100 points and currently stands 20th with 117 career points. Jones served as team captain of the Retrievers in his junior and senior seasons and earned all-tournament honors at the 2013 America East Men's Lacrosse Championships.
Three other Retrievers are currently competing in the NLL. Brendan Mundorf plays for the Philadelphia Wings, Drew Westervelt just became a member of the Colorado Mammoth and Jon Harasym competes for the Buffalo Bandits.

John K. McIlwain
John K. McIlwain is the Senior Resident Fellow and J. Ronald Terwilliger Chair for Housing at the Urban Land Institute. An author, speaker and former lawyer, McIlwain brings more than 35 years of experience in the fields of housing.
The U.S. housing industry is much like the U.S. auto industry in its resistance to change. The design of both single-family homes and apartments is only just beginning to change, just as the American auto industry is only just now trying to figure out how to deliver newer, truly fuel-efficient cars. Unlike the auto industry, however, the housing industry doesn't have the federal government's fuel efficiency (CAFE) standards to prod it along.
But there are early signs of change. New single-family homes in Phoenix, Arizona, are selling even at slightly higher prices than existing homes - that is, if they have green, energy-efficient features that will significantly reduce the cost of lighting, cooling and heating over time. This is happening in many other parts of the country as well.
Energy efficiency is, as one developer puts it, "the new granite countertop." After all, no one asks what the payback period is for a countertop. Just as items that were once added to a new home or condo for an additional price are now standard, so too are energy-efficient equipment and design becoming standard features expected by the buyer or renter.
This shift is perhaps happening fastest in the single-family home industry as it looks for whatever it can find to move its homes. Green, it turns out, is the most effective way to sell a home. Buyers find it more appealing to buy a home that is already efficient than a less expensive home that needs major retrofitting as well as new appliances and HVAC systems.
It is still hard to show that renters will pay more for an energy-efficient apartment than for a standard one, even when they are paying for the utilities. That said, there is growing evidence that energy-efficient and green apartments rent up faster than other ones, and are experiencing less turnover, both of which drop to the bottom line.
This is a trend that the apartment industry in particular needs to watch. Its market is far younger than the homebuying market, a differentiation that will continue to grow as the young members of generation Y defer homebuying into their early and middle 30s. This, the largest generation ever, is also the one most committed and sensitive to the cost and use of energy. They are, by and large, an increasingly values-driven group, and climate considerations, sustainability, and reducing the use of energy are at the heart of their values. In short, the prime market for apartments is the greenest market in U.S. history.
So, where will these trends lead the industry? Inevitably, the green trend will lead to homes becoming energy net zero or net plus, linked to the grid and buying and selling as the day goes along. Green will no longer mean being a bit more efficient than before, but will mean that a home uses no net energy (net energy zero) or produces net energy (net energy plus). Homes that still draw all or most of their energy from the grid will see a marked decline in value, just as today's homes that are far from sources of public transit are losing value while homes proximate to transit are holding value.
Making a house or an apartment net energy zero or plus will be achieved in a variety of ways, many of which haven't been discovered yet. Even today, very few builders are experimenting with passive housing - homes that are so air tight, insulated, and sited as to need little more heat than that provided by the bodies of the residents, and can draw cooled air from the ground. Passive and active solar will become greatly more efficient, as will geothermal and wind power.
Many of the techniques will be from the past, like siting for passive solar and wind protection, shielding with trees and the like. Residences will be designed to the local environment once again - New England style in New England, adobe homes in the Southwest.
The major shift will likely begin to occur in the latter part of this decade and accelerate between 2020 and 2030. The major cause for this change is the shift in the housing market driven by the growth in generation Y households over the course of the decade and the ever-rising cost of energy.
Local governments will encourage the shift as they enact ever-higher energy efficiency standards and begin to require disclosure of a house's or an apartment's energy use in the same way automakers now must disclose the gasoline mileage of new cars. It is of course possible that the federal government could also be a factor, but rules like the federal CAFE standards for cars seem unlikely at this time.
Other design trends to anticipate include smaller homes designed for a more open lifestyle. Homes will become smarter, adjusting themselves for greater energy efficiency throughout the day, and will be operable remotely (as some are now). For instance, the new Nest thermostat will automatically sense the presence of people, will learn how a resident wants the home's temperature set over time, and can be run from a website by an iPhone or iPad, all for $250.
Lighting, heating, and cooling will be adjusted not just by machines, but also by external and internal shading, glass that changes, windows that open and close automatically to gain benefit when the outer air can be used, and other new techniques that limit human wastefulness. In short, the pace of technological change in housing will begin to mirror the pace of change in all other areas of technology development.
Meanwhile, as homes and the technology that runs them evolve, so will the landscape in which they are set. The United States is moving toward a more urban lifestyle. This does not mean that the old split between the central city and rural areas that was common during the 19th century will reemerge. It does mean, however, that metropolitan regions that are now covered by cul-de-sac suburbs will continue to change as more suburban town centers emerge, and as inner-ring, prewar suburbs are rebuilt at greater densities. Suburbs will morph from culs-de-sac into clusters of town centers linked more and more by some kind of mass transit.
Townhouses and apartments will become more common as density increases. Again, this does not mean that everyone will live in high-rise apartments as this will continue to be limited to only parts of cities like Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles. Most urban areas will achieve density through small lots, townhouses, and low- and mid-rise apartments and condos.
If all these changes seem far-fetched, remember that times of stress like the ongoing housing crisis greatly accelerate changes already underway. This means that the future is closer than it may seem. As Daniel Goleman, the author of Emotional Intelligence, says, "the future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed."

For most people, learning their ABCs is much easier than learning their 123s. From when we are very young our parents spend more time talking to us than playing with numbers, making language much more familiar than maths.
And it makes sense in evolutionary terms: early humans needed language as a social skill to get along with others in the 'tribe', while mathematics is a more recent, less natural skill.
But mathematicians will tell you that maths is also a language, having its own rules and applications, with some educators believing that if we taught maths more creatively, as we do with languages, we'd have much more success in engaging students, a critical factor in light of declining maths class sizes and therefore interest, in Australia.
University of Melbourne mathematician Dr Henry Segerman says all language is about communication, requiring the right terminology and grammar for a person to be able to express themselves and be understood. Maths is just the same. "You can't be an engaged citizen without mathematics. You need it to understand a story in the newspaper about the economy, or to manage your finances, and you need basic statistics to understand risk and probability, of medical procedures for example," says Dr Segerman.
"Students should be given time to understand the language of mathematics and to creatively apply it to solve problems. Often, maths classes never go beyond rote exercises, in contrast with an English class in which we would use the language to create a new idea, a story or poem."
Dr Segerman notes a famous essay on the subject, A mathematician's lament by Paul Lockhart, a teacher at Saint Ann's School in Brooklyn, New York, who says students are missing out on the creative process of maths and only seeing the results of the process, such as an equation to apply like "The area of a triangle is equal to one-half its base times its height".
The essay goes on to say that mathematics is the art of explanation. And that if you deny students the opportunity to engage in this activity – to pose their own problems, make their own conjectures and discoveries, to be wrong, to be creatively frustrated, to be inspired, and cobble together their own explanations and proofs – you deny them mathematics itself. The art is not only in the "truth" but also in the explanation, the argument.
Taking the beauty of maths one step further, Dr Segerman has found a way to express mathematics in his 3D sculpture art. "The language of mathematics is often less accessible than the language of art, but I can try to translate from one to the other, producing a picture or sculpture that expresses a mathematical idea," he says.
Dr Segerman notes that one of Melbourne's most famous landmarks is an example of mathematical art. The 'pinwheel tiling' covering Fed Square is based on the concept of five identical triangles fitting together to make a larger version of the same triangle. "The mathematical beauty of the design is that the tiles appear at an infinite number of angles as the pattern extends outwards. This was the first known tiling pattern with this property."
Dr Segerman's own art plays with language and 3D shapes, stemming from his work as a researcher in topology, the mathematical study of the properties of shapes that are not affected by stretching or deforming. For example, in topology, a doughnut and a coffee cup with a handle are equivalent shapes, because each has a single hole and one can be deformed into the other.
Another mathematical influence appearing in Dr Segerman's art work is the idea of "self-reference", that an object can describe itself.
"The concept comes up in mathematical logic, in Gödel's famous incompleteness theorem," he says. "An example is my work 'Sphere autoglyph'."
"An autoglyph is a word written or represented in such a way that it is described by the word itself. In this 3D printed sculpture, 20 copies of the word "SPHERE" fit together to form the surface of a sphere.
"The challenge in creating this Escher-like design was to work out how to fit the shape of the English word SPHERE together with copies of itself.
"This is both an artistic/typographical problem which asks: 'How can the shapes of the letters be deformed to fit together but still be legible'? And a mathematical problem: 'What are the possible ways of making a symmetrical pattern on a sphere?'."

CHESTERTOWN, Pa. – Washington (Md.) scored all six of its runs in the final two innings, including the winning run with one out in the ninth, to defeat McDaniel 6-5 in Centennial Conference (CC) baseball action on Friday.
Marshall Betts (Berlin, Md./Stephen Decatur) led the Green Terror (11-5, 0-2 CC) with a 3-for-5 day, adding two RBIs and a run scored.
Scott Matthews paced the Shoremen (17-2, 2-0 CC) with three hits, including an eighth-inning grand slam that capped the five-run frame.
Trailing 3-0 with one out in the bottom of the eighth, Sean Connole reached on an infield single before taking second on an error.
A second error allowed Nick Marinelli to reach and put runners at the corners.
After a walk to Ryan Normoyle chased starter Andrew Monger (Ellicott City, Md./Mt. Hebron) after 7 1/3 innings, a wild pitch scored Connole before a groundout got the second out of the inning.
A walk to Tyler Cotterell reloaded the bases for Matthews, who jacked a pitch over the left-field fence to turn the 3-1 deficit into a 5-3 advantage.
Tyler Jackow (Colonia, N.J./Colonia) and Brandon Hayward (Salisbury, Md./J.M. Bennett) drew back-to-back walks to lead off the ninth inning before a fielder's choice and throwing error put Patrick Christopher (Union Beach, N.J./St. John Vianney) on third and scored Jackow to pull the visitors within 5-4.
A wild pitch allowed Christopher to score to tie the game. Kyle Aldrich and Matt Christopher combined to work around a pair of walks and get out of the inning tied.
The Shoreman's Christopher led off the bottom of the inning with a single before taking second on a wild pitch and third on a Connole sacrifice.
A Marinelli single to center field one batter later plated the game-winning run.
Betts led off the second inning with a solo home run to stake McDaniel to a 1-0 lead.
In the sixth, Ricky LaSota (Burtonsville, Md./Paint Branch) took second on an error to lead off the frame before scoring on a Betts single.
Singles from Hayward and LaSota stretched the lead to 3-0 with two outs in the seventh.
The Green Terror returns to action at home against Muhlenberg on Saturday. The first game of the doubleheader begins at 12:30 p.m.

It's been a pretty impressive few weeks for the industry in the mainstream media, hasn't it?
Zumba Fitness earned the 2012 Company of the Year from Inc. magazine, and Anytime Fitness was ranked No. 6 on Entrepreneur magazine's Franchise 500 list. IDEA Health and Fitness Association founders Kathie and Peter Davis were featured in Forbes magazine discussing the importance of keeping employees happy. And new Equinox President Sarah Robb O'Hagan, who has been at the helm for all of four months, served as an expert on the top five health and fitness innovations in the industry on Mashable.com's Innovation Index.
At the end of the month, Jazzercise will be featured on the A&E network's "Be the Boss" competition-based series from the creators of "Undercover Boss." The episode will feature two Jazzercise instructors—Kim McCulloch of Minooka, IL, and Sophia Hubbard of Ypsilanti, MI— vying to become a Jazzercise Fitness Center owner. Jazzercise founder and CEO Judi Sheppard Missett, President Shanna Missett Nelson and Chief Marketing and Sales Officer Kelly Sweeney all will appear in the episode, which airs at 10 p.m. ET on Sunday, Dec. 30.

Robert R. Locke UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII NEW INSIGHT S FROM COST ACCOUNTING INTO BRITISH ENTREPRENEURIAL PERFORMANCE CIRCA 1914 Abstract: This article takes issue with economic historians who have tried to re-habilitate the reputation of the late Victorian and Edwardian entrepreneur. It ar-gues that the revisionist attempt to ground their case on cost, profit, and produc-tivity calculations flounders because of an insufficient analysis of the factors involved in arriving at cost, profit, and productivity. The economic historian, preoccupied with recent European economic development could, therefore, improve his analysis by incorporating the science of management accounting into his methodology. A companion piece to this article will be published in the fall issue of the journal. Few if any problems in British economic history have drawn more attention than that of British economic performance during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. Optimists have argued that the British economy functioned well, pessimists that it faltered badly, and the pessimists have usually had the upper hand in the debate. Recently a group of younger historians, led by Donald N. McCloskey, has de-cidedly challenged the pessimists' view. "There is...," McCloskey wrote, " little left of the dismal picture of British failure painted by historians. The alternative is a picture of an economy not stagnating but growing as rapidly as permitted by the growth of its resources and the effective exploitation of available technology."1 Revisionists do not claim that the British economy expanded as rapidly as the American or the German; indeed some, unlike McCloskey, might even concede a relative economic stagnation. But they do not con-cede that the British entrepreneur can be faulted. Economic facts limited his parameter of action but within that parameter he perform-ed well. This article rejects the optimists' interpretation of British entrepre-neurial performance. It is, however, less concerned with conclusions than with how conclusions have been reached, for much of the revisionism stems directly from the application of a "new" meth-odology, grounded in economic theory and quantification.2 The contention is, therefore, that inadequacies in the optimists' conclu-

TEMPE, Ariz. — Colorado's 54-13 loss here to Arizona State Saturday night dropped the Buffaloes' defense to 119th nationally in three categories: passing defense (312.6 yards per game), total defense (492.4 ypg) and scoring defense (41.2 points per game).
Colorado is also 115th in third-down offense (.284), 110th in rushing offense (108.0 ypg) and 86th in total offense (375.2 ypg).
Despite not catching a pass in the first half and finishing with only four for 39 yards, Paul Richardson is still third nationally with 132 receiving yards a game. Connor Wood, who got pulled in the first quarter, is 87th in pass efficiency with a rating of 121.0.

a good book which you may find helpful is Learning Teaching by James Scrivener.
Basically, you divide a lesson into pre-reading, whilst-reading and post-reading activities.
A simplified version:
1) pre-reading - creating atmosphere, pre-teaching important vocabulary...
2) whilst-reading - asking questions before the actual reading, something to focus on (e.g. abc, true or false statements...)
3) post-reading - for example a discussion based on the text

MacLaurin Building
The MacLaurin building is home to UVic's Faculty of Education and School of Music. The UVic curriculum lab contains more than 30,000 teaching tools and multi-media resources for creating lesson plans.
The David Lam Auditorium, located on the south side of the MacLaurin building, hosts a number of lecture classes and is also the main venue for several of the university's major public lecture series. The 323-seat lecture theatre was renamed the David Lam Auditorium in 1986.
The MacLaurin music wing was completed in 1978 and houses the 200-seat Phillip T. Young recital hall, numerous practice rooms and a professional quality recording studio.
Dr. Donald L. MacLaurin (1881-1958) was the founding Principal of the Victoria Provincial Normal School, which he led from 1915 to 1932 when he became assistant superintendent of education for BC. The Victoria Provincial Normal School was a predecessor of UVic.

Fire Guts Ancient Town in Shangri-La
Shangri-La, the mythical town of James Hilton's 1933 novel Lost Horizon, has in the West long summoned visions of a Tibetan paradise.
But on Saturday, part of the tourist district that has laid claim to the name in China's western Yunnan province was transformed into an inferno after fire spread quickly overnight through wooden houses, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.
Images showed a large part of the ancient town of Dukezong engulfed in flames and by day reduced to charred rubble. The fire, which broke out at 1:30 a.m., was not put out until 10:30 a.m. due to high winds and the large number of wooden structures in town, said Xinhua. It added that there were no immediate reports of casualties.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the fire, which destroyed 100 homes, Xinhua said.
A number of Chinese towns in and around Tibet have claimed the name of Shangri-La to attract tourists. In 2001 Zhongdian county, known by Tibetans as Gyalthang, was renamed Shangri-La in order to better stake a claim as a tourist hot spot. The 1,300-year old town of Dukezong is one of the major attractions in the Shangri-La area.
Over the past decade, the area has attracted growing numbers of Chinese tourists. Dukezong, once an important stop on the Southern Silk Road, is known for its wooden Tibetan houses and narrow cobblestone alleyways. It sits near a larger, modern city which hosts many of the tourists.
The fire is the most recent of a number of blazes that have struck Tibetan areas. Tibetan towns are traditionally filled with wooden structures, making them particularly susceptible to fires during dry winter months when antiquated heating systems are used.

This facility is a member of
Adventist Imaging Network offers several ways to treat fibroids, either through a hysterectomy or alternate methods, such as Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE). UFE is performed by interventional radiologists, who work with gynecologists, to evaluate candidates for this procedure. Interventional radiologists use X-rays and other imaging techniques to see inside the body and guide micro-tools to treat conditions without surgery.
Uterine Fibroids (leiomyomas) are non-cancerous smooth muscle tumors of the uterus. They occur in 20 to 50 percent of women, depending on age and race. Because most fibroids do not cause any symptoms, the actual incidence is unknown. They may cause pain, cramping, and chronic bleeding and are the most common cause of non-emergency uterine bleeding.
Fibroids also may cause "bulk symptoms" such as urinary frequency and urgency, constipation, and low back pain. They may cause pain during intercourse (dyspareunia) and problems with fertility and pregnancy. Approximately one-third of the 600,000 hysterectomies performed in the USA each year are to treat fibroids.

I am so awesome, I can hardly stand it.
I wrote TEN THOUSAND words today for NaNoWriMo!
Please let me repeat that, because chances are slimbo that I'll ever get to say it again: I wrote ten thousand words today. Yippee!
Except . . . I never would have done it without Jolie's best-ever sticky note advice and Laini's "Once upon a time" strategy. And Jarrod's bargaining chip -- that if I reached my 10k goal before 10:30, we could watch an episode of Firefly tonight. ("Also, I can kill you with my brain.")
So thank you Jolie, Laini, and Jarrod. I raise my glass of crazy delirious happy to you tonight.
In other news -- yes! Of course I saw Twilight this weekend!
I went with my fab pals Sumner and Paula, and it was cheesy and melodramatic (and WHAT were they thinking casting Jasper? SERIOUSLY?) but I totally loved it anyway.
The I-want-to-kiss-you-but-I'd-kill-you was yummy and romantic, and I adored Edward's fwoopy (as I keep hearing it described) hair, and GUESS WHAT??? Bella wore my shirt in two scenes! Very exciting to see a tiny piece of me -- in clothing form -- interacting with the dreamy Edward Cullen.
That is SO my shirt! I got it at H&M last Christmas. Which is NOT in Phoenix, so I don't know where Bella is shopping.
Also cute:
-- The protective dad scenes involving Charlie and Edward.
-- Stephenie Meyer hanging out in the cafe.
-- How they slipped the cover image from the novel into the cafeteria scene.
-- Radiohead during the credits. Totally unexpected.
-- Edward hanging out in Bella's bedroom. (Sorry, Paula!) Totally hot.
-- Edward in sunglasses. TOTALLY hot.
But yeah. Let's hope New Moon gets a bigger makeup budget. And that ballet studio? So not in Phoenix either! And there's a future drinking game to be had with the all of those Steely Vampire Looks.
And Jasper.

A Few Show Highlights
Tuesday, September 7, 2010
What a Wonderful Show!
Thursday, September 2, 2010
Day 1 of Set-up - We get the keys and start moving into the Conference Center. How exciting!
Great Show Coverage in Today's Silver City Sun News
4,000 expected attend 27th Annual Gem and Mineral Show
SILVER CITY - The upcoming Labor Day weekend in Silver City is going to rock - literally.
Organizers of the 27th Annual Gem and Mineral Show, which will run from Saturday to Monday, say they expect the event to bring 4,000 to 5,000 people into town throughout the course of the three days.
An informal survey of area hotels, including the Holiday Inn Express, the Comfort Inn and the Econo Lodge, show that rooms will be scarce in Silver City.
Marcia Andre, the show chairwoman for the Grant County Rolling Stones Gem and Mineral Society, which is sponsoring the event, said Wednesday that the group is excited about holding the show in a new venue - the Grant County Business and convention center on Highway 180, next to Ace Hardware.
"We've always been at the Rec Center and while saying good-bye to the Rec Center was hard - the staff always was very good to us - the new venue gives us more room and room to grow," Andre said.
The show, which offers free admission, will be open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday. Vendors from throughout the Southwest will fill 115 tables with rocks and minerals and related equipment for sale.
Karen Murphy, publicity chairwoman for the event, said vendors expected to attend include regulars who have been at previous shows as well as some new vendors.
"People will be able to find all kinds of things at the show," Murphy said.
While the Convention Center allows the event room to grow, Andre said the group still has "a long waiting list" of vendors who would like to participate.
New this year, Andre said, is the NMSU Zuhl Collection of petrified wood, which will be an educational display. Andre said a museum curator for the Zuhl Collection will be on hand for the weekend.
There also will be exhibits provided by locals as well as New Mexico Tech's Mining and Mineral Museum. The Silver City Lions Club will provide food. Daily field trips, a silent auction and the ever-popular Wheel of Fortune also will be featured.
Andre said the Grant County Rolling Stones Gem and Mineral Society took on a different approach in promoting the show by teaming up with Silver City MainStreet, which is having its First Friday in the downtown area on Friday, and the 18th Annual San Vicente Art Fair, which also is downtown on Saturday and Sunday. The three entities bought advertising in combination to try to promote Silver City and not just a single event.
Recently, the Silver City Town Council and the mayor have expressed concern regarding the spending of lodgers tax funds in wanting greater accountability and, ultimately, a marketing plan in place for the area.
"We hope this shows the mayor and the city council that we are trying to do what they are looking for," Andre said. "We're trying to promote Silver City as a whole."

i have some code which reads from a .txt file and picks up PL football teams from the file... and sends them to a String... how can i make it so i get only one team once i.e no teams repeat?
this is my code:
import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.Comparator; import java.util.List; import java.io.FileReader; import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.IOException; public class generatortest { private static class Team{ private String team; int GamesPlayed; int GoalDifference; int GamesWon; int GamesDrawn; int GamesLost; int Points; public void setteam(String team) //defining team names as string { this.team = team; //Sets team } public String toString() { StringBuilder organiselayout = new StringBuilder(); organiselayout.append(this.team); return organiselayout.toString(); } } generatortest() throws IOException { BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("PL.txt")); //Reads In Assignment file or your file. if (bufferedReader != null) { String text; //sets each line read as a text string while ((text = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) { String[] split = text.split(":"); // splits the string text at each colon List<Team> Games = new ArrayList<Team>(); //Listing the array of the Team class // If the Length of string is greater than 4 then match is classed as valid if (split.length >= 4) { Team League = new Team(); //adds the text values to the Team Class League.setteam(split[0].trim()); //the 0 string is the home team when reading from the file League.setteam(split[1].trim()); //the 1 string is the away team when reading from the file Games.add(League); //adds the previous games into 1 entity System.out.println(League.toString()); } } bufferedReader.close(); //closes reader } } public final static void main(String [] args) throws IOException { new generatortest(); } }
I know it contains integers that aren't used locally at the minute but i eventually want to compare this list and re-loop through the text file taking more information to build myself a league table..
Thanks RSYR

I read How does "Reputation" work?
Users gain reputation when:
- Your Question is voted Helpful: +5
- Your Answer is voted Helpful: +10
- Your Answer is marked Accepted: +15
- You marked an answer to your question as Accepted: +2
- A down vote on your Question or Answer is removed: +2
- You possess less than 2000 reputation, and an edit you have submitted is accepted: +2
- You remove your down vote from a Question or Answer you have voted as Not Helpful: +1
- The bounty on a question is awarded to your answer: +full bounty amount
- The bounty time for a question expires and your answer had the highest votes (the bounty is divided equally if there's a tie): +1/2 of the bounty amount
The question is, why doesn't retagging gain you any reputation? Isn't it helpful to someone in finding the question?
Improving formatting results in +2 reputation, for example. I think retagging should get at least 2 reputation points.
What do you think about this?
