Here at ICO, we hope that you'll learn just how much fun Spanish can be. Like any language, Spanish is full of colorful slang expressions. On Fridays, we'll be teaching you a combination of useful everyday words and fun common colloquialisms.
If you know the word onda, you probably know it means 'wave.' But it's used in tons and tons of colloquial expressions. If you think about onda meaning something more like 'vibe', these expressions will be more intuitive.
¿Qué onda? What's up?
You'll hear this all the time, not only as a greeting, but in the phrase a ver qué onda which means something like "I'm going to check it out." For example, vamos a lo de Pablo a ver qué onda "we're going to Pablo's to see what's up" or "we're going to check out what's happening at Pablo's."
buena onda / mala onda cool / uncool
Again, think in terms of good or bad vibes. In fact, most of these expressions came into use in the '60s and are probably calques (word-for-word translations) of English-language slang. If you meet someone cool, es buena onda. Or you can say me gusta su onda "I like his/her vibe" for a more fun way of saying me gusta su forma de ser "I like his/her personality." Something that's mala onda ("bad vibes") is lame, boring, or otherwise unpleasant.
agarrar la onda get the hang of, get the gist of, understand
Literally "to grab the wave / vibe" – this phrase means to get the hang of doing something, or to get the gist of a conversation. For example, al principio no podia hablar español, pero ya agarré la onda. At first I couldn't speak Spanish, but now I've gotten the hang of it. Or someone might ask you, agarraste la onda? ("catch my drift?"). Or if you've spaced out, you might hear ¡agarra la onda! "get with it!"
seguir la onda agree, play along with
If your friends are deciding what to do, and you're the only one who doesn't want to go dancing, you should probably seguir la onda ("go along with it") and go anyway. If your sister tells someone with a straight face that you work as a rodeo clown in your spare time, you can seguir la onda ("play along with the joke") and talk about the time you almost got gored by a bull. (¡Qué mala onda!)
fuera de onda out of touch
perder la onda stop being cool
If you dress like my grandmother, you're fuera de onda. Similarly, something that used to be cool but isn't any more ya perdió la onda ("lost its onda").
tirar (la) onda flirt with, hit on
If you catch someone staring at you, they're tirando (la) onda. If your friend is treating you differently all of a sudden, you can ask, ¿me estás tirando onda? ("are you flirting with me?")
We're sure you'll hear other phrases using onda as well, but these are some of the most frequently used. Ya agarraste la onda? Feel free to post questions or comments about other phrases!

In the CROCKETT series of novels, a recluse and disability-retired police officer, David Allen Crockett leads a mundane and predictable life until his therapist, Ruby LaCost, kicks him out into the world. With love and loss, a hippie helicopter pilot, and a Texican reject from the Secret Service, the help of a moneyed Grand Dame, and a smart-mouthed psychologist, Crockett, a born-again warrior, returns to life.
FREE on AMAZON and most other distributors.
David Allen Crockett, a disability-retired police officer, simply wanted to be left alone. His seclusion is shattered by a phone call from his friend and ex-therapist, Ruby LaCost. At Ruby's request, Crockett agrees to teach one of her clients, Rachael Moore, a troubled woman in fear for her life, how to use a handgun. During the course of those lessons, Crockett and Rachael are drawn out of their respective shells and begin an intimate relationship. When Rachael dies of an apparent suicide, Crockett is shattered; and Ruby begins the loving work of putting him back together.
During Crockett's recovery, he is contacted by Rachael's aunt, who believes the suicide was murder. Together, Crockett and Ruby begin an investigation that leads them into a world of treachery, deceit, and death. Intertwined throughout the story is the discovery that, while love between a straight man and a gay woman may not overcome homosexuality, it can, at least, make it something less than a deal breaker.

Parcel Tax – Measure K
The Emery Unified School District has enjoyed community support for quality education and student achievement, with District voters strongly supporting two previous measures to ensure reliable source of local funding to maintain academic excellence.
Measure K extends the levy under Measure A for an additional 20 years commencing on July 1, 2017, and expiring on July 1, 2027 at the rate of 15 cents per square foot of total building area on each parcel of taxable real property located wholly or partly within the District.
Senior Exemption. An exemption is available to each property owner in the District who will attain the age of 65 year prior to July 1 of the parcel tax year, who owns a beneficial interest in the parcel, who uses that parcel as his or her principal place of residence and who applies to the District on or before July 1, 2017, or July 1 of any succeeding parcel tax year. Any one application from a qualified applicant will provide an exemption for the parcel for the remaining term of the parcel tax so long as such applicant continues to use the parcel as his or her principal residence. Senior exemptions granted during the term of the existing school parcel tax Measure A or the immediately proceeding school parcel tax measure will continue.
Citizen's Oversight Committee. The Citizen's Oversight Committee established in connection with the existing school parcel tax is continued and meeting and advises the Board of Trustees about the proper expenditure of the proceeds of the school parcel tax renewal. The Citizen's Oversight Committee also reviews the annual report prepared by the District regarding the amount of funds collected and expended and the status of any program authorized to be funded.
The school parcel tax renewal is collected by the Alameda County Treasurer-Tax Collector at the same time and in the same manner and is subject to the same penalties as ad valorem property taxes collected by the Treasurer-Tax Collector. Unpaid taxes shall bear interest at the same rate as the rate for unpaid ad valorem property taxes until paid. Any tax levied will become lien upon the properties against which taxes are assessed and collectible.

Art Prints by Bianca Green
Colorful art prints inspired by her travels.
Life is art, my mind is art, what my hands create is art. Art is everywhere and I am so in love with it. When I was a kid, I used to think art stood for Monet and other expensive, boring landscape paintings. Me drawing, painting, making collages, sewing things and doing stuff to my clothes—that wasn't art, that was just me drifting away doing something with my hands while listening to music. In the last couple of years, I've grown a big interest in art and also got back to making it. It releases a tension inside of me and I feel like I have to create something, otherwise I get really grumpy. I don't really care if people like it or not, but it makes me proud and tremendously happy to see my finished product and remember how much joy I had creating it.You can purchase any of these prints by clicking on the links below the image.
In an ongoing effort to support independent artists from around the world, Faith is Torment will feature a weekly post entitled Pin Board, a curated collection of artists' works from Monde Mosaic.

Ministers often carry so many ministerial responsibilities that they retain little time to pursue personal leisure. After years of neglecting their leisure goals, many of them give up altogether and cease to pursue any leisure goals. Sometimes they even start believing that a leisure goal represents an immoral activity.
One minister lamented that he never took a day off. He needed a break, but he felt stuck in a culture that ruled out vacations and leisure. The local parishioners and other ministers ridiculed him if he considered taking a vacation. A few board members indicated that they might fire the pastor if he took even one day off. He felt doomed if he did, and doomed if he didn't.
How do you feel about breaking one of the Ten Commandments?
The commandment regarding the Sabbath Day is the longest and most detailed. The Bible says, "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy (Ex 20:8-11, NIV)."
A few ministers take this commandment literally. They work long hours for six days of the week, and then rest on the Sabbath. While this commandment fails to address every detail of implementation, the intent is fairly clear—model God's behavior by taking a periodic rest.
Was God so worn out that He needed to rest on the Sabbath? I doubt that He ever grows physically tired. If God doesn't need physical rest, what prompted Him to explain this commandment in such minute detail? Two possibilities come to mind:
First, God wanted to model healthy behaviors to His followers. The commandment explicitly notes how God models the rhythm of work and rest, "For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day." By noting that God rested after six days of work, the commandment implies that He wishes for humankind to follow His behavior. A corollary implication is that God avoided modeling burnout and wishes for His creation to do the same.
A friend recently told me, "If I die early from burnout, I simply get to spend one extra day with the Lord." If we follow a different pattern than what God designed, we choose an imperfect model. Although the commandment never uses the word "burnout," the commandment specifically encourages rest. Thus behaviors resulting in burnout are ungodly.
Second, the consequence of rest affects so much that God wanted the commandment to include everything within our power and control—sons, daughters, menservants, maidservants, animals, and even the alien on our property. In today's environment, most of us don't own farm animals, but we have power and control over many individuals and objects. We can, however, affect our congregation's expectations about Sabbath rest and the expectations of our colleagues. God gives us much power and control if we choose to exercise it. Reflect for a moment about your span of power and control.
What happens during Sabbath?
For humankind, the commandment states that everything we control should rest during Sabbath. However, we don't control much in comparison to God. He remains in control even as we rest.
Although we can't know everything He accomplishes during this time, when we rise the next morning we can easily see that He has continued working. During our Sabbath, God continues to prepare His creation for our interface. For humankind, however, Sabbath means a time of rest. God commands us to rest and to cause everything within our control to rest.
When does Sabbath start?
Although "the Sabbath Day" occurs once every seven days, Sabbath occurs each night when we fall asleep. For instance, Adam and Eve probably went to bed at dusk and awakened at dawn each day. Without the electrical lights of a modern culture, they fell into a normal rhythm of rest (Sabbath) about eight to ten hours each day.
Today, technology enables us to literally "burn the candle at both ends," working late into the night and rising to start work well before dawn. If God wants us to put aside one full day each week for rest, failure to rest adequately during the intervening nights may also violate the intent of His commandment.
Just like Adam and Eve, God made us in His image. God designed an environment that almost forced Adam and Eve to sleep eight or more hours each night. Because of electricity, we can now choose a significantly different model of rest than the one He provided. While electricity is wonderful, we can use it in a harmful way.
Thus Sabbath means rest during one day, but the intent of the law may also include the natural rhythms of rest throughout the week. If God promotes rest on a Sabbath, it makes little sense to promote a burnout lifestyle during the intervening days.
What does the Bible say about rhythms?
Matthew 11:28-30 (The Message) says, "Are you tired? Worn Out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."
This passage references God's numerous "rhythms of grace." A Sabbath Day rest provides one primary rhythm. Other rhythms include a nightly rest, daily work, socialization, meals, Scripture reading, and prayer; fasting; community with fellow believers; and many more. In this particular passage, Jesus mentions a "rhythm" of rest. Just as the Genesis passage requires us to model our rest and work cycle after God, the Matthew passage reminds us to look toward God (Jesus) as our model.
How does my life compare to His?
We can look at many New Testament passages to see how Jesus modeled the rhythm of rest. For instance:
- He went up on a mountain side and sat down.
- He walked beside the Sea of Galilee.
- He got into the boat.
- He had dinner at Matthew's house.
- He went out and sat by the lake.
- He left the crowd and went into the house.
- He withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place.
- …and when evening came, he reclined at the table with his friends.
- Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore.
- Jesus took with Him, Peter, James, and John.
Thus, we can see that Jesus modeled many rhythms including the rhythms of work and rest. And, He modeled rest at many times other than the Sabbath Day.
How does my life compare to the early church fathers?
Richard Foster (27) states that the early church fathers valued Otium Sanctum (holy leisure). They believed that all activities of the day remained holy, including leisure time. To them, leisure was inherently holy. This included spiritual activities of the soul such as retreat, restoration, and play. For them, the spiritual life integrated (rather than isolated) holy leisure into the daily life of the believer.
May God offer you inspiration as you seek His help in modeling His rhythm of work and rest.
- What leisure activities would you like to pursue (gardening, camping, fishing, hiking, photography, photo editing, reading, cooking, music lessons, listening to your favorite music)?
- What SMART goals will help you pursue each of these interests?

2) Place the onion in a small bowl of cold water. Place the tomatoes in a large bowl and season with 1 tsp of salt and some pepper. Chop the oregano with the garlic and the remaining 0.5 tsp salt. Use the flat side of the knife to mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste. Scatter the garlic mixture over the tomatoes.
3) Cut the pepper about the same size as the tomatoes and add to the salad. Drain the onions, pat dry, and add to the tomato mixture. Add the vinegar and olive oil and toss together. Add the drained pasta and toss well. (The salad can be prepared 2 hours in advance and refrigerated.)
4) Before serving, mix the rocket leaves into the salad, then add the cheese and toss lightly. Taste the salad and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve.
Cook's Note: A single pepper can be roasted directly on a gas burner. Lay the pepper directly over a high flame and cook, turning as needed, until the skin blisters and blackens. When the pepper is completely charred transfer it to a medium bowl, cover with a plate or lid and allow to cool completely. To peel the pepper, wrap it in a paper towel and rub off the charred skin.
With an electric hob or for more than 1 pepper, preheat the oven grill. Cut the peppers in half through the stem. Remove the seeds. Lay the peppers cut-side down on a roasting tin. Set the pan on the uppermost rack closest to the grill. Cook until the skin chars, about 5 to 10 minutes. Rotate the pan, as necessary, so the peppers char evenly. Cool covered, then peel.

Florida is a no-fault divorce state which means that neither of the parties seeking divorce needs to provide a reason for the filing. The mere statement that the irreconcilable differences caused an irretrievable break in the marriage is sufficient. Although one party's accusation of the other spouse committing adultery will not have much of an impact on property division, it may be considered in some of the court's other decision-making processes.
During property division, consider downsizing
During the course of a Florida divorce, some spouses refuse to accept the reality that many aspects of their lives are about to change. One of the most difficult realities to come to terms with is the fact that it is difficult, if not impossible, to maintain the exact same lifestyle on one income that was possible with two. This is especially true in regard to home size. For those who can accept the many benefits of downsizing, this property division transition can be far easier to manage.
Covering all of the details during property division
As a couple in Florida nears the end of the divorce process, there is often an urge to get things signed, sealed and delivered as quickly as possible, so that both parties are able to move on with their lives. This is an understandable approach, but it is important to avoid rushing through the final stage of divorce without ensuring that all of the details have been addressed. Once those papers are signed, it is difficult to go back and address things that were not completed prior to the legal end of the marriage, especially when it comes to matters of property division.
Property division can extend beyond divorce
Many Florida spouses assume that once their divorce papers are signed, the process is complete and both parties can go their separate ways. In reality, however, there are multiple property division issues that can extend well beyond the timeframe of divorce. Understanding how those matters can impact the months and years that follow a divorce is essential to avoiding complications.

After their first league defeat of the season Peterhead's Jason Brown says they need to remember the quality they've got and bounce back.
The Blue Toon were below par in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Edinburgh City.
It was a day when nothing seemed to click for the Buchan team with almost all the players falling short of their usual standards.
Brown was disappointed by the loss to the capital team.
However, the 22-year-old says Peterhead need to move on quickly as they face Irish side Bohemians this weekend in the Irn-Bru Challenge Cup.
The defender said: "It's massively disappointing what happened on Saturday.
"It's a tough one to take, but it's the ups and downs of football and we've got to take it on the chin.
"We have to move forward and hopefully get back to winning ways.
"It's a sore one right now for us to take, we'll analyse it and then move forward and put it behind us.
"Bohemians are a full-time side, but we know the quality we've got.
"It didn't click as much as we wanted, we had a lot of the ball, but it was one of those days that happens to every team.
"We just have to take the highs with the lows and move on to next week."
Peterhead's next fixture is to some extent a step into the unknown.
At this moment the Blue Toon don't know a huge amount about League of Ireland side Bohs.
Many within Scottish football feel that sides from other countries should not be playing in a Scottish cup competition. Brown can see their point, but from his perspective the main thing that matters is trying to get through to the third round and recover from the disappointment of Saturday's defeat to Edinburgh.
He added: "We don't know much about them, we might do some research during the week but we don't know anything about them at the moment.
"But right now we're disappointed after Saturday.
"It's different this competition. I've never heard of it before, other teams playing in a Scottish cup. There's a lot of split opinions but for us as players it's another game and we look forward to it.
"It's good to win games and get through. We always want to win so we'll come back and be positive.
"Saturday was a wee blip but we build ourselves back up for next week."

Greg Inglis and Boyd Cordner have firmed as the likely front-runners to be the next Kangaroos captain after Cameron Smith's shock representative retirement.
Smith's decision to walk away from representative football has opened up a number of gaps in both the Queensland and Australian squads.
The Melbourne hooker hasn't missed a game for either team since he took over the captaincy from Darren Lockyer at the start of 2012, meaning a true replacement as captain or hooker has never been clear.
NSW captain Boyd Cordner was Smith's vice-captain during last year's World Cup, while Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga threw Inglis' hat in the ring on Tuesday night by suggesting he could take over Smith's role at Queensland.
Australian coach Mal Meninga has described Greg Inglis as a "natural captain." (AAP)
"I can see Greg doing it. I can see Billy Slater doing it," Meninga told Fox League's NRL 360.
"Those guys, when you get into that sort of arena, they're already club captains -- certainly Greg's a club captain, and Darius Boyd's a club captain and Matt Scott helps captain the Cowboys.
"I think Greg's a natural captain as well, he's had a lot of experience, he's won premierships and he's been part of that arena for such a long time.
Ponga, Klemmer ready to lift Knights
Gervais' hilarious message for Burrows
NRL announces bushfire relief effort
"I reckon he'd been honoured with it."
Australia aren't due to play again until October's end-of-year Test against New Zealand currently scheduled for Auckland.
Smith drops bombshell over future
However when they do, it will be a new-look side without both Smith and Cooper Cronk at halfback who played in last year's World Cup.
Adding to the hooking question is the fact that the No.9 jersey if unclear for both NSW and Queensland heading into this year's Origin series.
Cameron McInnes and Damien Cook are shooting it out for the Blues, while Andrew McCullough, Jake Granville and Jake Friend are the likely contenders for the Maroons.
Meninga also ruled out the possibility of St George Illawarra playmaker Ben Hunt playing at dummy-half, despite having been selected as a back-up there for Australia in the past.
"I think it's got to be a genuine No.9," Meninga said.
Brisbane hooker Andrew McCullough is a candidate to replace Cameron Smith at No.9. (AAP)
"For me, it's see what NSW pick and see what Queensland pick.
"I believe the Origin series is a natural progression to whoever gets picked in the Australian side."
Meanwhile, Meninga said he had noticed a change in Smith during last year's World Cup, which in hindsight was a signal of his retirement before the 34-year-old informed him on Monday.
"It wasn't the Cameron Smith that I generally mix with (during the World Cup)," Meninga said.
"He was very sombre and very quiet. He went home a lot through the series, missed (wife) Barb and the kids.
"He was very focused on it all. We generally have a bit of fun in those camps and Smithy was reluctant to do those kinds of things ... It's a sad day for rugby league."

3D Printers Will Help Astronaut Build Colonies on Mars
The German firm, ZA Architects is proposing plans for a large, underground network of caverns to begin the population of the Red Planet by 2023. Relying primarily on robots, the machines will pave the way for humans to eventually live on Earth's neighbor.
The machines would choose areas where the basalt had cooled to form hexagonal columns, and the weakest spots would be removed to form hollow spaces. After making a cathedral-like interior, the robots would weave webs of basalt fibers to form floors and differentiate levels.
Once the overall shell is completed, an astronaut mission will be sent to Mars. There, humans will secure an oxygen and water supply by fabricating a soil glacier and basalt processing plant. Robots would ring the facility bedrock to create basalt wool, a material that is good for insulation and for stabilizing structures. Martian soil will also be used to cultivate crops such as asparagus to provide food for the colony.
ZA Architects hopes that their design would make the colony largely independent of deliveries from Earth. They cite the Mars One project as in inspiration for their designs. As science advances, architects join engineers in working towards reaching the furthest frontiers of exploration.

Who is Humantronic ?
Just something simple that sounds like his music, and, needless to say, something that sounds just like him… Frédéric Alvernhe has made a career that is part and parcel of his personality.
Today, this DJ composer-producer comes up with a second signature on Kevin Saunderson's label KMS Records, an new analog and visual live-act and another alias Ardan Bel to produce a deeper and emotional sound.
His label Manakacha set up with few European friends five years ago, have featured Humantronic, Sarah Goldfarb and MIDI for their debut EP, Some highly specialized material indeed, but miles away from a passing fad. Far ahead. But what happened before?
Before, it's a long story of rhythmics. Starting in high school where he played the rhythmic guitar in his first rock band until, awe-struck, he discovered rave parties in the green English countryside, Fred would not rest until he finally took the plunge, round about 1997, when he started playing under the Fred Flower alias.
It would be wrong to reduce the character to a mere peaceful image, even though there are logical affinities with trance and psychedelic culture in general. He is, in fact, more than anything else, a true child of that 90s legacy : the musical crossover. If you want proof, take a look into his flight- case, or check out his open-minded techno : his route is that of a true musician. At the end of the century, this completely self-taught artist had several tasks in hand : he accompanied on the bass guitar his DJ friend Steph d'Elisium, composed and created music for plays (Au Pays des Hommes1, Théâtre Toursky) in which, for the first time, he carried out a fusion using both machines & instruments… That was the start, and there's no stopping him now, as you can see in Two Heads On, an electro-jazz side-project.
His first label Neopren Records, was successfully launched in 2006 with the support of Apoll and key- player distributor Intergroove, starting with the blistering EP Kiss of the Flower Man which still remains Neopren bestseller. After several releases on Neopren Tongut, Malatoid or Schallbox, Humantronic starts his own label Manakacha In 2010. With unassuming yet unwavering efficiency, the producer reveals his own vision of techno : mesmerizing, massive and groovy tunes inspired by the great forebears as much as by new-school electro whiz-kids. A techno in his own image : sincere and unusual, part of the current climate only to breathe in some fresh oxygen. For all that, Humantronic and his 'deep' alias Ardan Bel are projects deeply rooted in its own era, the child of a new tech. buff. He handles with equal ease playing vinyls and the digital world. Yet this does not go unmotivated. He simply uses these tools among many others to serve an instinctive musical approach and his peculiar universe. In his approach to the dancefloor, as well as in the way he considered the technological vehicle, as an integral part of his music. And, when Fred plays behind the decks or with his machines, he really plays : there is real work here on textures, and atmospheres as well as on the development of his sets searching out his own way no matter whether it should shut him off or lead to the fast track of success. And nothing will stop this mutant with a beating heart who vanishes behind what he does best : Humantronic

Saints Cure Road Woes With 10-6 Win Over CanariesST. PAUL, MN June 28, 2013
SIOUX FALLS, SD (June 28, 2013) – The St. Paul Saints found the best medicine for a six game road losing streak, a struggling Sioux Falls Canaries team who had won just two of their last 16. The Saints offense scored double digit runs for the second straight game in a 10-6 win at Sioux Falls Stadium to earn their fourth straight victory.
With the Saints leading 1-0 in the third Brad Boyer led off with a double to right. Willie Cabrera then reached on a fielding error by the shortstop Cory Morales. Brandon Tripp, who homered twice in the Saints last game on Wednesday, deposited one over the right field wall, his 13th of the season, to give the Saints a 4-0 lead. With two outs Dwight Childs reached on an infield single, Jordan Tripp moved him to second with a single to center and Adam Frost made it 5-0 with a single to center. Dan Kaczrowski walked to load the bases and a walk to Boyer forced in a run to make it 6-0.
The Canaries made it interesting when Jared Clark hit his first homer of the game and 11th of the season, a solo shot to left, to make it 6-1.
In the fifth the Canaries got a leadoff triple from Nick Van Stratten, who then scored on a ground out by Morales to make it 6-2. Marcos Rodriguez hit his second homer of the season, and first with the Canaries, when he a solo homer to straightaway center to make it 6-3. Saints starter Anthony Claggett would pitch 6.0 innings allowing three runs on five hits while walking four and striking out six.
The Saints put the game away with a four run sixth. Kaczrowski led off with a walk. He then moved to third when catcher Kevin Dultz tried to pick him off, but his throw went into right field allowing Kaczrowski to take third. Boyer drove him home with a single to center giving the Saints a 7-3 lead. With two outs Ole Sheldon and Jose Hernandez walked to load the bases. Childs then hit a bouncer up the middle that drove home a pair. Centerfielder Van Stratten's throw to third was off target which allowed Hernandez to scamper home and make it 10-3.
The lead appeared to be safe, but the Canaries put up three in the seventh off of reliever Billy Soule. Morales led off with a double and moved to third on a wild pitch. Rodriguez knocked him home with a single to make it 10-4. Clark crushed a 3-2 pitch over the left field wall for his second homer of the night and 12th of the season to finish the scoring.
Mikey Mehlich and Matt Meyer tossed the final 2.0 innings and didn't allow a run on one hit while striking out three.
It is the first time this season the Saints have scored double digit runs in back-to-back games.
The same two teams meet in the second game of the three game series on Saturday evening at Sioux Falls Stadium at 7:05 p.m. The Saints send RHP Mark Hamburger (1-2, 5.26) to the mound against Canaries LHP Adam Champion (3-2, 6.40). The game can be heard on Club 1220 AM.

That's a personal choice and I certainly DON'T mean to suggest that techs don't love the science! However, I DO mean to suggest that anyone who *expects* a tech to overwork without pay or at least recognition, is a creep. If my tech wants to work longer because he loves it, great! As long as it's HIS choice, and he's not feeling screwed into working free overtime. If he doesnt want to work 60 hours a week, that's okay--I don't demand he do so. Because to demand it without compensation would be unfair and wrong. > > I'm not saying that exploitation of techs doesn't exist -- it certainly > does, and it sounds like there's more than a little of it in Linnea's > lab.

My only point was that a responsible supervisor makes sure that their employees are not coerced into working excessive hours; if the employee chooses to, that's a different story. Also, the responsible employer makes sure that their employees' contributions are recognized, if not financially, then otherwise. Everyone likes to feel appreciated, and no one likes to feel exploited. I'm not trying to imply that technicians aren't "real scientists" or aren't crucial members of the team or don't love science. I've never said that nor felt that way. I'm just saying that technicians should be valued and treated with respect as employees.

Android KitKat Chocnology – where chocolate and technology collide
Imagine an exhibition of original sculptures designed by 10 of South Africa's hottest creative talent? Only, these are no ordinary sculptures; they are made entirely out of chocolate – 3D-printed chocolate. This is Chocnology brought to you by Nestlé South Africa with creative input from their digital agency, NATIVE VML.
Chocnology is an exhibition of 3D-printed chocolate sculptures created by talented South African artists, using Android™ KitKat as inspiration. The Chocnology exhibition was opened at the Museum Of African Design (MOAD) in Johannesburg's Maboneng Precinct between Thursday 7 and Sunday, 10 November 2013. Fans were able to follow the gallery opening and tweet their own experiences at @KitKatSA using #Chocnology.
Although the project culminates in a real-world exhibition, the entire process and the story behind Chocnology began with digital consideration. All designs were created using the Android™ operating system and freely available online 3D modelling tools. To produce the artwork, a 3D printer that traditionally uses a plastic-based filament was manipulated to use chocolate as its raw material, allowing the creation of intricate, three-dimensional sculptures. The entire process is being seeded online through Kit Kat SA on Facebook and Twitter.
The Chocnologist designers were constrained by nothing but their imagination. Contributors included tech analyst Liron Segev, Dale Halvorsen's illustration alter-ego, Joey Hi-Fi, Marchand Le Roux, Arno Kruger, Liron Segev, Mine Jonker at Studio Muti, Rene Roussouw, Hans Fouche and talents from Am I Collective, and Orijin.
"Nestlé wanted to showcase pure South African talent. So we looked at a variety of local creative individuals from varying backgrounds. Illustrators, 3D artists, architects, book cover designers and chocolate technicians made up the final artist line-up," says Ryan McManus, Executive Creative Director of NATIVE VML.
"Printing in chocolate was extremely challenging and there were numerous constraints in terms of complexity, size, weight and shape. The model's designs had to be printed into bite-size pieces and constructed by hand. It was imperative to remain true to the original vision of the artists and create visually rich and beautiful pieces without letting the constraints hinder the end results."

Whether you want to add layers or lose your locks, Sydney has a crop of amazing hair salons to check out. Here's the long and the short of Sydney's best hairdressers.
People Hairdressing | Potts Point
At an age when most of us were counting down the last 12 months of using a fake ID, Hamish Glianos was starting his career as a barber's apprentice. Since then, he has refined his skills through an international career and developed an education system that has made People Hairdressing's team synonymous with intelligent, individual and contemporary hairdressing while maintaining a down to earth environment treating every client as 'real people'. It's no wonder these guys are established as one of Sydney's best hairdressers.
Esstudio Galleria | Chippendale
If you like puppies and pretty amazing hair experiences, then you've come to the right place. As well as an unconventional security guard – Oxy the canine who mans the door, the real life humans who run Esstudio are some of Sydney's top dogs. Flanked by glamorous beauty director Jax (she does manis, makeovers and more), hair stylist Aleks Abadia offers his services in a relaxed casual atmosphere. There's antique chandeliers, massage chairs and vino to accompany your visit. According to Aleks, who has Miranda Kerr, Kate Bosworth and Rusty Crowe's digits saved on his phone, the aim is to treat all his clients with "energy and enthusiasm".
Marli Rose Hairdressing | Alexandria
Her name might sound like it belongs to a Disney diva or a Hollywood heroine, but Jana Pana's real star power is hair. Her new salon in Alexandria promises to deliver blockbuster bobs, beautiful blow dries and eye-catching colour. With over 15 years of industry experience, Jana Panoutsopoulos has developed her own technique and style of hairdressing, and now offers the skills she learnt on jobs like GHD styling for Manning Cartell at Australian Fashion Week in a relaxed, friendly environment. Jana Pana: Cool name- Cooler mane.
Lunio' Hair | Surry Hills
The (Surry) Hills may be alive with the sound of music (and margherita drinkers and Messina line queuers), but nestled in its heart is this warm and welcoming salon. Fans "yelp" about its super staff, reasonable price tags, fab foils and man-appropriate mane offerings and we agree. From colour and cuts without any pretension, it is indeed one of our favourite things.
This Revo-lutionary salon in the core of the city specialises in state-of-the-art hair spa technology. The institute, which is a flagship of L'Oreal Paris (They are L'Oreal Professionnel's preferred colour specialist salon), is fronted by a team of gold-medal grabbing, super-skilled stylists who all have different tastes in shoes but agree that their responsibility to give you timeless, gorgeous beautiful hair is a big one. It's definitely an upgrade from the $20 trims of your teens, but why not? After all – You're worth it!
The One With The Brightest Summer, DD&Co
DD&CO | Sans Souci
With a homepage filled with Instagram-able images of gold, glitter and girls wearing gorgeous daisy chain hair garlands, this seaside hair salon is definitely worth hashtagging (rather convenient because they do have their own account). Owner Jessica DiDonato, who lent her initials to naming the salon lives by the sword – well, the scissors – and the motto that "life is too short to have bad hair." Here, here!
Prema | Bondi Junction
The Devil may wear Prada, but if she lived in Bondi Junction, we bet Ms Wintour would leave her fringed-bob in the capable hands of this amazing salon. Made up of over 50 maestros claiming a "worldwide knowledge of hair, makeup, education and fashion" and a creative commitment to their craft, the Prema team back it up by offering their styling and colouring services to clients like Elle, Harper's Bazaar and Miss Vogue. We think even Anna herself would be impressed with the passion and professionalism of owner Francesco Ruggerino and his Prema crew.
Edwards & Co. | Surry Hills
Twilight may have tried to convince teenage girls otherwise, but this salon proves there can only be one winner – and Team Edward takes the prize. Directed by leading colourist Jaye Edwards, the warehouse studio of Edwards & Co may come across as all minimal and discreet, but don't be fooled. Just like everyone's favourite vampire, the spacious interior has it's secrets, housing an eclectic mix of freelancing hair and beauty experts who offer services and skills as diverse as any good supernatural saga.
Raw Hair | Surry Hills
The raw movement may be having a moment (although we're yet to be convinced by an uncooked sugar-free snickers recipe), but for Anthony Nader, the fad is so 1997. That was the year he established RAW Anthony Nader – a Sydney salon focussed on providing clients with an "exceptional hair and beauty experience". Cate Blanchett, Gisele Bündchen, Hugh Jackman, Lily Cole, Miranda Kerr and Nicole Richie have all received the royal Raw treatment. In fact, Anthony is such a big deal, he has also directed shows in London, Milan, Paris, New York and Sydney, as well as released his own line of hair products (The RAW Essentials).
Desmond & Molly Jones | Surry Hills
Short on coin for the latest glossy and not really feeling the well-thumbed 1998 issue of Readers Digest at your local barber? We suggest you book an appointment at Desmond & Molly Jones. As well as offering more mags than your local newsagency, this sweet salon, created by Leonard Newtown (noted guilty pleasures include dancing to early Whitney) and Jasmin Letherbridge, serves couture tea and gelato. However, as woman cannot live by ice cream alone, rather conveniently, the place offers a heap of tressing services including: tints, highlights and balayage.
Valonz | Paddington
Renya Xydis would be an excellent scrabble buddy. Not only has she spent a lifetime utilising the almost-impossible-to-work-with letter X, she also went on to name her salon with the nearly as difficult V (for Valonz). Supported by partner Jim and a team of talented cutting specialists and colour technicians, Xydis' Valonz has developed into one of Sydney's best hair salons, with services impressing a discreet yet high profile clientele, magazine editors and folks who simply love their locks.

Mangrove crabs!
I am now in the 7th week of my 8 week GVI experience, and I am well on my way to completing my very own environmental conservation project. I have chosen to research the sex ratio and size distribution of the Giant Mangrove Crab, Cardisoma carnifex, within the Baie Laraie mangrove forest on Curieuse Island. So far, I have caught over 130 of these crabs in the span of 5 field sessions. While it is often easy to spot and capture these massive crabs out in the open, other times it can be a bit more difficult.
During my first field session, I thought that it would be unnecessary to bring gloves out into the field. I was wrong. The first crab that got a hold of the end of my finger was instinctively flung into the air as I yelled (it was okay). On the second day, I was handling and measuring a tiny crab with my hand (now gloved) as it pinched my ungloved hand. As a defense mechanism, its claw released from its body only to tighten around the tip of my finger. This has happened twice now and both times I needed tweezers to release the claw from my finger. Today, during an all-day crab catching adventure, multiple crabs grabbed onto my shirt, two claws made their imprints on my hands, and I returned back to a base with mud up to my knees.
While most of you may be reading this and thinking that I am struggling through this process, I can assure you that I am having more fun than you can imagine. Every day brings new highs and lows, such as catching the largest crab yet, to tripping over trees and receiving a face-full of mud. In addition, I am sure that most people would get a good laugh out of seeing a 6'5'' American trying to make his way through the mangroves like Tarzan while being pinched by giant crabs.
Not only am I having fun, but it has already taught me so much about what my potential future career in ecology research has to offer me. I have gained valuable experience with field work and have been guided by the amazing and extremely knowledgeable GVI Curieuse staff. Finally, I feel that my research will provide very helpful information to SNPA about a crucial species in the Baie Laraie mangrove forest.

Info-graphic: NSA Is A Billion Times More Expansive Than The Stasi
US agency would need a facility the size of Europe to store physical copies of information it will hold
Steve Watson
July 5, 2013
A stunning info-graphic put together by a German data company reveals just how expansive the NSA's data retention program has become.
In the wake of the Snowden revelations, eyes have been trained on the NSA and its almost completed new facility in the Utah desert.
the NSA's warrantless wiretapping program has grown in gargantuan proportions and now intercepts 1.7 billion US electronic communications every single day. Those communications will soon all be funneled through the top secret $2 billion spy center, which the NSA has refused to provide Congress with details of.
Comparing the NSA to the East German Stasi, experts at Open Data City in Berlin, decided to visualize the scope of both spy agencies, to make a point of how much further advanced the NSA is.

Historical Society Dedicates Farm Equipment Shed
A major addition to the Potter County Historical Society's museum on North Main Street in Coudersport was dedicated on Sunday. The new Farm Equipment Shed is the culmination of a multi-year effort to establish a permanent collection that traces the history of local agriculture dating back to Native American practices. Many of the vintage pieces, including farm equipment and implements, could not be practically exhibited in the museum, so directors embarked on a plan to establish a shed on museum grounds. Even the shed itself has been constructed as a historical exhibit.
Society officials dedicated the exhibit to the late William L. Roberts of Coudersport, a devoted and respected agriculturalist, archaeologist and artist/craftsman. He died last October at age 102. Bill was associated with Barnett Brothers Headwater Potatoes of Ulysses for more than 60 years. In 1988, at age 73, he received a master's degree in anthropology from Penn State University. Part of his studies was an archaeological investigation into the agricultural practices of Native Americans in the high altitude, cold climate areas of Potter County. He was active with the Society for Pennsylvania Archaeology and the Potter County Historical Society. Bill not only built his own house, he also enjoyed making copper weather vanes, iron railings and multiple woodshop items, many of which were donated to non-profit organizations.

There are many things that bug me about the current slew of scandals that are surrounding the US politics at the moment. If I were to pinpoint one example, it would be the scandal surrounding the effects that the email leaks published by Wikileaks had on the election result in November.
As I understand it, on one side there are claims that Russia hacked the DNC, provided the information to Wikileaks, who then distributed the information.
On the other side, there are claims that the "hacking" came from a disgruntled staff member within the DNC, Seth Rich, who provided the information to Wikileaks, who then distributed the information.
None of these claims ever raise the question of whether the information published by Wikileaks is true or not. Basically, as I see it, these two great conspiracies hinge upon who exactly it was that told the truth about Clinton and the DNC at the most inopportune time. This completely baffles me somewhat. The controversy isn't that the DNC (who is meant to be impartial) actively froze out a candidate – Bernie Sanders – who could have been nominated instead of Clinton, but rather that somebody leaked to truth to the peons.
So now we have the mainstream media drumming up whatever they can to smear the Trump administration with colluding with Russia (which strikes me as the kind of scare reminiscent of 1980's Cold War Hollywood guff), and alternative outlets trying desperately to link Seth Rich to Wikileaks.
Nobody is actually acknowledging that the leaks to Wikileaks revealed that the DNC fucked things up royally, and that they lost the election as a result. The conspiracies are all basically trying to prove whoever it was who told the truth about the DNC at the most inopportune time.
Maybe I'm missing something here. Sure I've heard something about voter suppression in a state or two, and I admit to not knowing anything about that – but that's a fault of the media's. Everything I read is either Russia this, or Seth Rich that. The adult thing for the DNC to do, I would have thought, would be to say, "Well, fuck. That shit we did to get Clinton the nomination was a bit shit. Maybe we shouldn't have done that shitty thing. Maybe Hills shouldn't have called everyone opposing her a bunch of deplorables. Oh well, lesson learned. Maybe next election we can try to do things better."
And then they could go about the job of being in opposition to Trump's administration, and actually debating policies and shutting down legislation that could actively do harm. You know, like a system of checks and balances does.
But everything I see that attempts to legitimise Trump from this point on only strikes me as the petulant stamping of feet of a bunch of children upset that they didn't get a turn on the slippery slide and have to wait a bit.
Grow up. Government is serious business that actually affects peoples' lives. Stop treating it like a plaything.

Philip J. Valera, M.Mus.
Assistant Professor of Communications
B.Mus., M.Mus., Boston University
100 Roma Hackney Music Building
email@example.com | 800-345-4973 x6487
Phil Valera, assistant professor of communications, has been the instructor for audio recording technology and the manager of the Sara Lynn Riley Kennedy Recording Studio at Barton College since August 2000. Prior to moving to Wilson, he worked as an Instructor for Recording Technology at the University of Arkansas in Pine Bluff. After a 25- year career as a church musician, performer, composer, and arranger, Valera decided to combine his love of music and music technology with a new career in audio. In 1998, he became an award-winning graduate of the audio recording technology program at Full Sail University. Among the numerous CDs that he has recorded and produced since his move to Wilson is Historically Patriotic, a collection of marches and patriotic symphonic works performed by the Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra. He is also the recording engineer and concert recording producer for the orchestra. He produced the two CDs, Buried Land and The Service of Song, albums featuring the works of Barton's own poet/singer/songwriter Dr. Jim Clark. In addition, he produced three CDs of big band swing music by the Tar River Swing Band and two CDs by the folk rock group, The Near Myths. During his tenure at Barton, he has served as organist/music director of St. Timothy's Episcopal Church in Wilson, where in 2006 he performed a concert of his arrangements of music for pipe organ and electronic music.
