Bug Deflectors
The Age Old Debate: Do Bug Deflectors Work?
The effectiveness of bug deflectors has been a point of contention between believers and non-believers for a long time. Some insist they work wonders, while others swear to the contrary. Because lots of testimonials supporting both points of view float around the internet and through word of mouth, deciding what to believe can be difficult. Before doing that, it's important to understand the thinking behind bug deflector designs.

PARIS (AP) — France's defense minister says that Islamist extremists have overrun Diabaly, a small town in central Mali where fighting in the four-day-old offensive continues to rage.
Jean-Yves Le Drian said Monday the rebels "took Diabaly after fierce fighting and resistance from the Malian army that couldn't hold them back."
Earlier, a Malian intelligence agent posted near Diabaly said that French pilots launched a raid on Monday morning close to the town.
The bombing run marks an expansion of the battle to retake Mali's north. Until Sunday night, the raids had all occurred in distant northern areas. The bombardments near Diabaly follows airstrikes late Sunday 40 kilometers (25 miles) east of the locality, in the rice growing region of Anatola, once the site of a major USAID-funded project.
The agent, who could not be named because he was not authorized to speak to the press, said that shots rang out near a military base in Diabaly. Soon after, he said French jets flew over the area, dropping bombs.

Two Alfred State faculty and staff members were honored recently with a Leadership through Civic Engagement Award.
The award is presented annually by the College Council to acknowledge students, faculty, staff, and alumni who have led or initiated exemplary academic and/or co-curricular initiatives that demonstrate a commitment to engaging in the community— locally, nationally, or globally — through service, volunteerism, activism, politics, and much more. This year's recipients were Debra Burch, associate professor in the Culinary Arts Department, and Jason Cronin, senior staff assistant and head baseball coach in the Athletics Department.
Burch has demonstrated leadership by inspiring students, colleagues, and community members to support local disabled veterans. During the fall 2015 semester, Burch arranged for retired US Army Brig. Gen. Arthur Austin Jr. to speak at a Veteran's Day ceremony. His visit launched a fundraising campaign for the LEEK Hunting and Mountain preserve - an organization that offers programs to wounded and disabled veterans.
Burch mobilized the efforts of 17 baking program students over several days to prepare bread, rolls, doughnuts, and other baked goods for the college sponsored bake sale. Furthermore, she arranged the visit for the Culinary Arts staff and student participants to the LEEK Preserve on Dec. 4 and presented the nearly $3,600 donation received through the bake sale. This campaign raised awareness and funds and exemplifies how college community members utilize their skills and gifts to support a larger cause.
Cronin has developed a culture of civic engagement among the approximately 30 members of his team through example and action. He directs and inspires his team to take part in many local and regional community projects, setting an ambitious goal of 300 community service hours. The team regularly participates in the Celebrate Service Celebrate Allegany day of service each fall and has partnered with New York Special Olympics, the Alfred Box of Books Library, the American Red Cross, and the Bath Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
The squad assisted Chemung County Habitat for Humanity with construction of the Elmira Habitat home in November 2015. They even took time out of a busy tournament schedule during the 2016 spring break to support the Habitat for Humanity affiliate in Myrtle Beach, SC.
Alfred State students are riding high in the saddle after advancing to the national finals of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association in Lexington, KY. Among the equestrians' many accomplishments, Travis Harvey (Alfred Almond) completed the season as the high point western rider of Zone 2, Region 1 and placed in the top 25 among all riders in the national finals. Previously this year, equestrian club members also brought pride to Alfred State when the polo team won 10 out of 12 contests, including two victories over Harvard.
With the continued success of equestrian sports, the college will add western riding to the Athletic Department's varsity sports starting in the 2017-18 school year. The move further solidifies Alfred State's support of equestrian competition and creates more chances for students to compete at the highest level in horseback riding.
"By adding western riding as the 19th official varsity sport for the Pioneers, we are recognizing the success of our student athletes and their mentor, Professor Victoria Bolton, who advanced the program to this stage where they are now able to leap to a whole new level," stated Athletic Director Dr. Kelly Higgins. "Support runs deep for equestrian sports on campus with the strong backing of President Sullivan, the entire administration, and following an extensive review and approval by the Intercollegiate Athletic Board. The transition begins now and I'm anxious to take the reins of this new varsity sport in 2017."
"It is a great day to be a Pioneer," exclaimed Alfred State President Dr. Skip Sullivan. "Alfred State is proud to be adding another official intercollegiate athletic program. Our equestrian team has been highly successful in recent years, and we are pleased to provide more great opportunities for our students."
Western riding is the first sport added by Alfred State since baseball returned to campus in 1995. Currently the equestrian program, including western riding, hunt seat, and polo, is a club team. The hunt seat and polo programs will remain club sports.
The western team, which currently consists of 17 members, competes in eight intercollegiate horse shows throughout the year where the riders earn points based on their placings at all of the shows. During the 2015-16 school year, the team was the reserve champion for Zone 2 Region 1. Six members of the team qualified for the regional show and three advanced to the semi-finals held in Murfreesboro, TN where Harvey then advanced to the national finals.
Vicki Bolton, who has guided the equestrian program during the club period is excited about the move. "The team is very enthusiastic about becoming a varsity sport, which will allow more students interested in horses and horseback riding an opportunity to compete."
The bond between a horse and rider is usually nurtured and developed over time. But in western equestrian shows, riders are paired with horses in a random drawing and the rider has only a few minutes to connect and build a partnership. The horses vary greatly in experience and it is the rider's job to bring out the best performance after mounting the 1,200-pound animal for the first time. Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) riders are judged by their control of the horse, the rider's body positioning, and their ability to make the ride appear effortless.

Pores is a complex expression of Alison Britton's investigations into the vessel form. It is ambiguous in its reference to function, and exhibits the asymmetry of volume and painterly surface abstraction that characterises her ceramics. Her interest in the tension between contained and delineated form is seen in this work, where an inwardly turned lip draws the eye to the vessel's unreachable interior. An artery-like spout offers a weak promise of delivery of the vessel's imagined contents, but it serves only as a vestige of function. Deep cuts in the vessel wall and a smattering of perforations further destabilise its visual functionality, while a hazy, disconnected surface pattern hints at a larger narrative beyond this fragment. Britton draws together such apparent flaws of function into a work that should reflect nervous intensity, but instead sits calmly resolved through its impracticalities.

I have been using Sabon PLV for a few years now, and love it. The smells lasts on the skin, skin is so soft, and I don't use anything else! Wish we had a sabon where I live, but I make sure and get some whenever I'm in a city that does!

Smells fantastic and makes your skin super soft!

Patchouli Lavender Vanilla Body Scrub is super! I was hesitant at first purchasing this product but it is definitely worth it! I love the scrub in combination with the oil... Scrub usually leaves your skin dry but this one does not. Definitely an excellent product
By Neesha| August 31st, 2012
Scrubs are not rocket science, but this one is revolutionary. Unlike most scrubs I've used, the oils seem to sink in to my skin and leave my skin deeply moisturized, but not a greasy, oil slick. It's definitely a heavy duty product and can really rough up delicate skin if used too frequently, so I stick to once a week. That once a week ritual is heavenly, though. I love (read: ADORE) the fragrance and I love how well the scent lingers without leaving me feeling oily and gross. This is my favorite scrub, hands down.
By Leila| July 03rd, 2012
My sister introduced me to Sabon while I was visiting her in NYC. This scent is absolutely amazing. It is spicy, seductive and very feminine. If you are a fan of strong, spicy scents then this is definitely for you!
No matter which frangrance you pick, you will not be disappointed with the quality of the scrub. My skin feels new everytime I use it, and the scrub is also very mosturizing.
I also purchased the body lotion to apply afterwards and then scent lasts all night long.
By Miriam| June 18th, 2012
My daughter gave me Sabon products for my birthday. When I visited her in NYC, we went to Sabon, where I found the Patchouli Lavender Vanilla fragrance--I bought the scrub, lotion, shower oil, and eau de toilette. PLV is a strong, rich scent--I highly recommend it!!
By Juliana| May 01st, 2012
Plv is one of my favorite scents it instantly puts me in a great mood, and the scrub is addicting so i try not to go crazy with it,this is my go to when i need to relax!
By Molly| April 28th, 2012
Who ever created the patchouli lavender vanilla scent is a genius! It is the best smell in the whole store! I have been using this scrub for years and still after each use I am amazed by how my skin feels! The oils and the salt are a perfect combination of gorgeousness! A must have product for my shower.
By Emma | March 26th, 2012
A friend visited your NYC store and purchased this line for herself. After sharing with me, I have to have it! The fragrance is like wearing an irrisistable dessert. Yummy!

SPRINGFIELD – January 22, 2013. Governor Pat Quinn today convened top experts from across the state for a summit to develop short and long-term actions to further safeguard schools in Illinois. The governor brought together the group of more than 50 representatives from the fields of education, public safety, mental health and law enforcement following last month's deadly school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. Today's meeting is part of the governor's ongoing commitment to ensuring safe schools in Illinois.
"Every parent should feel that their child is safe in school," Governor Quinn said. "Today we brought together teachers, school administrators, mental health experts, law enforcement and public safety officials to discuss ways to further safeguard our schools. We must continue to take every step possible to ensure our children are protected."
During the meeting at the State Emergency Operations Center in Springfield, participants discussed crisis prevention, school and community planning and coordination and facility protection and security. Additional meetings of the full group or smaller working groups will be scheduled to address specific problems and develop solutions.
Today's meeting followed an initial conference call on the subject on Dec. 21, 2012, one week after the tragic shooting in Connecticut.
Organizations represented at today's summit included:
In addition, the School and Campus Security Training Program, a cooperative effort of the Illinois State Board of Education, Illinois Terrorism Task Force and the Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm System, recently rolled out a School Safety Drill Video and Computer-Based Training tutorial, which reflect best practices based on lessons learned from real life emergency events. The videos are free and currently available for distribution to public and private schools. The videos detail specific actions for administrators, teachers and support staff for each drill, based on post-incident reports and de-briefings from real school events.
Since 2009, schools in Illinois have been required to perform an emergency drill at least once per year. In addition, schools must have emergency and crisis plans in place and review them annually. Since 2005, the School and Campus Security Training Program provided more than 250 K-12 school safety planning courses attended by more than 8,600 participants representing 817 public school districts and 545 non-public schools. In 2012 the program delivered 55 preparedness training courses for both K-12 and higher education institutions, which were attended by 1,486 participants, to update emergency operations plans and increase their capacity to respond to and recover from all hazards, including active shooters. Currently, there are 11 courses scheduled from January through March of 2013.

Has anyone tried any of this season's shirts on? I have a cpost shirt from an earlier season that I love - accept that the sleeves are about three inches too short (looks like the same shirt Katsu is wearing in the last pic). It's actually quite an authentic vintage fit, but doesn't work too well for the tall and thin.

Green advocates, bright-eyed tree-huggers that we are, have been getting it wrong. We have been inundating you, the citizens, with so much information, gushy enthusiasm and statistically supported guilt trips that we have crossed what astronomers would call your personal event horizon.
The astonishing quantity of information causes it to become meaningless - it gets sucked into your personal black hole.
Scientists have been studying black holes for decades. They know that when space matter crosses the point called the event horizon, it is pulled with such intense gravitational force that it is essentially crushed into oblivion.
We all have a personal black hole. Theoretically, I might have been interested in a particular subject, but if information comes in too big a bite (or byte), forget it. The entire mass gets Hoovered into nothingness.
To stay in front of your internal "act on that" meter, sustainability advocates must keep information personally relevant, and in chunks small enough to grab.
Instead we inundate you with websites, apps, playing cards, pay-it-forward cards, brochures, reusable bags and bottles that you can't help but duck. No wonder it feels like a heroic feat to be "green." In our well-intentioned enthusiasm, we created a slippery slope of "never enough."
If you use your reusable bag, then we are ready to hit you with 20 more things you "should" do if you want to be an acceptable human being. The "shoulds" mount until what we do is indistinguishable from doing nothing. Seriously, if somebody finds your efforts to be 1 percent of what's necessary, does it even make sense to do anything but let the black hole have it all?
So how "should" we be "green"? Or rather, how do you determine which nuggets to hold onto while letting others slip by into the crush zone?
Do what you do. Pick something that fits into your daily life. If you drink coffee, take your mug with you. If you garden, get your neighbors to give you their organic matter. Walk to the grocery store. Just pluck one natural, logical action out of the space matter flying by you. Create a new "It's just what we do" ethos for yourself, your family, workplace, community or circle of friends.
You could theoretically do this an infinite number of times, but the point is to do it once. One action, one bit of information from the seemingly endless list. One at a time, pause if you see your event horizon approaching. We the bright-eyed sustainability wonks of the world apologize for having made it so complicated.
Cindy Jennings is on a mission to make sustainability practical in our everyday lives, minus the tree-hugger labeling and massive guilt trips. Both hate and fan mail are bad for the environment, but Cindy can be reached sustainably at firstname.lastname@example.com.

PRICE/DINOSAUR,COLO. -Our loving wife, daughter, sister, aunt and friend, Annette Teresa Tryon Migliaccio, age 41, enjoyed her last earthly cup of coffee and ascended to heaven on July 2, 2009 at her home in Dinosaur, Colo.
Annette was born March 3, 1968 in Price, Utah to Kenneth Oran and Vena Mahan Tryon.
She graduated from Carbon High School in 1986 and the College of Eastern Utah in 1991 with her degree in Nursing.
Growing up, she was kind of a mama's girl and this bond continued through her life with daily phone calls to her mom. She was friendly, compassionate, beautiful and delighted in brightening someone else's day. Annette had a knack for making people feel special, like they were they only people in the world that mattered, she truly loved them and nursing was a perfect arena for her to showcase her talent. She worked in the Carbon/Emery area at Castleview Hospital and Emery County Care and Rehab., and was currently a hospice nurse for Uintah Basin Hospice.
She was married to the love of her life, Brent Migliaccio. Together they enjoyed fishing and camping in the scenic Boulder Mountains, playing the lottery, spending time with family and friends, living, loving and laughing. She loved her pets Jette, Greta, Frank, Betty and treated them as though they were her children.
Annette had many talents in her life, but her favorites were shopping, decorating her home, and crocheting, which she learned from the master, Grandma Tryon.
She will be dearly missed by those who knew her.
She is survived by her loving husband, Brent; parents, Ken and Vena Tryon; sisters, Pam (Angelo) Konakis, Jennifer Tryon; mother-in-law, Barbara Migliaccio; sister-in-law, Debbie (Danny) Howa; brother-in-law, Mark (Annette) Migliaccio; step-children, Mandy (Thad) Whiteside, Amy (John) Ruggeri, Megan (Terrence) Powell, nieces, Angela (Skip) Rice, Nicole Konakis, Jaysie Estes; nephews, Tyler Tryon, Zak Konakis; step-grandchildren, Jessica, Maddox, Gunner, Corbin, Braxton and her B.F.F.

This is how I have put mine together. It is 48 inches X 48 inches. I want to put a border around it of the dark brown and lighter brown. Then I plan to machine quilt this one and perhaps use it as a wall hanging quilt. Or if my friend whom I am making the Amish Bars for wants both, I guess I will give him both as he is the one who wanted "mustard yellow" and "brown".

Snail's Trails or Virginia Reel
I bought these fabrics to plan an Amish Bars quilt which I ended up using only two of the colors. You can see it here in the post on Marking. I am hand quilting it. Then I needed to use the other and left-over fabric, so I decided to try a Snail's Trail in the four colors. Snail's Trail is also known as the Virginia Reel. It can be a challenge keeping the fabrics straight so that the turns of the "trail" stay oriented correctly. There is a nice website (Block Central) that has several blocks put together into a coloring book. These pages can be printed off so that you can play with the colors you want or just color them, so you can keep yours straight. When only using two colors, all the blocks will be the same. When using four colors, the blocks are like this.

The family wishes to take this opportunity to celebrate the life of Seeley Elwin Ralphs, and honor the memory of him as husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.
Born Aug. 23, 1930 in Salt Lake City, Utah, son of Elwin and Etta Seely Ralphs, Seeley grew up on a farm in Clawson, Emery County, Utah. He loved the sheep and horses he tended, and learned patience and caring for all of God's creatures. This compassion for others carried through in all his endeavors.
After graduating from South Emery High School and attending Carbon College, he enlisted in the United States Army. After his time in active duty, he was assigned to the Army Reserves, and in 1954 he was commissioned a second Lieutenant. He retired as a Lt. Colonel in August, 1990. He loved his country and it gave him great joy to serve. He was a master aviator in both fixed wing and helicopters, and he was a master marksman.
In addition to his military service, Seeley served as a California Highway Patrolman from 1957 to 1965. He worked in Compton and Watts, Southern Calif., then transferred to Sacramento in 1958. He was the first "eyes in the sky" police traffic reporter for KCRA, providing live radio traffic reports from the air.
Injury from a Highway Patrol motorcycle accident resulted in his retirement from the CHP. He then worked as an aeronautical engineer for the Department of the U.S. Air Force at McClellan AFB in Sacramento, Calif. He retired in 1990 after 25 years of service.
While stationed at Fort Mac-Arthur in San Pedro, Calif., he met and fell in love with F. Vivian Ball. They were married for time and all eternity on Nov.18, 1950 in the St. George Temple, St. George, Utah. They have three children: Joyce Lynn Wahlquist, Diane Marie Coffman, and Mark Alan Ralphs.
He fought a courageous battle against Stage IV Melanoma cancer for more than 10 years, ending on Sept. 9, 2006. He never complained, lost his sense of humor, or questioned, "Why me, Lord?" He had a great love of music and sang at every opportunity until cancer took his voice in 2002. During this time of personal trial he served as a chaplain for the Amador County California Sheriff's Department. He felt his life had been so blessed, he wanted to give back in community service. He counseled and consoled others in their times of grief. His LDS church service included serving in two bishoprics, on the stake high council, on four stake missions, and as a temple worker for 11 years in the Oakland Temple.
He is survived by his wife, Vivian, and their children: Joyce (John) Wahlquist, Woodbridge, Va.; Diane (Gordon) Coffman, Provo, Utah; and Mark (Peggy) Ralphs, Diamond Springs, Calif.; nine grandchildren: Ellen (Jon) Durrough, Mercer Island, Wash.; Grant (Katie) Wahlquist, Okinawa, Japan; Laura (Chris) Jones, Springville, Utah; Rachel Wahlquist, Burke, Va.; Andrew (Ellisa) Wahlquist, Bellevue, Wash.; Jason Ralphs, BYU-Idaho; Katie, Kevin, and Rebecca Ralphs, Diamond Springs, Calif.; and seven great-grandchildren: Sarah Dorrough, Alex and Max Wahlquist, Tyler and Haley Jones, and Brent and Anna Wahlquist.
A funeral service will be held on Fri., Sept. 15, 2006 at 10 a.m. at the Provo, Utah Stake Center located at 1315 East 900 South, Provo, Utah. Interment will take place in the Ferron City Cemetery, Emery County, Utah.
In lieu of flowers, Seeley would wish donations to be made to the LDS Missionary Fund. Condolences may be sent to the family at: www.walkerfamilymortuary.com

Fighting for Women in Bosnia
When he started running in Sarajevo's Race for the Cure at the age of 14, Nermin Music wasn't sure his mother Ramiza would survive her breast cancer.
Now 19, Nermin is a goodwill ambassador for the race — a joint initiative of JDC's Women's Health Empowerment Program (WHEP) and Susan G. Komen, the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists — and Ramiza is healthy, a breast cancer survivor for about six years, and the leader of one of WHEP's peer support groups for survivors and patients in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Established by JDC in 1995, WHEP focuses on the importance of early detection of breast cancer while providing psychosocial and other support services for women currently living with this disease. The program is currently active in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Hungary, and Russia, and also works with Israeli and Palestinian survivors through JDC's COPE Forum.
In addition, WHEP provides leadership training for breast cancer survivors, enabling them to form NGOs, run peer-support groups, and advocate for better health care services.
Proceeds from last year's Race in Bosnia and Herzegovina funded 1,400 post-surgery health kits and over 600 mammograms in 12 rural locations where access to these screenings would otherwise be unavailable.
Nermin began running in 2008 when Ramiza was still undergoing chemotherapy. Traveling alone from his small town of Brčko, he arrived at Vilsonovo Setaliste, one of Sarajevo's largest parks, with one goal: to win the Race for the Cure for his mother.
Though he came in third and left disappointed, Nermin vowed to return to the race and pursue a win for his mom. The following year, a healthy Ramiza joined him at the race and Nermin came in second.
Nermin knew he wouldn't be happy until he was the first to cross over the Race for the Cure finish line, and so he committed himself to intensive training. In his third attempt, now 2010, he won – despite tough competition from two ex-Navy members of the U.S. Embassy contingent participating in the event.
Though he nearly collapsed as he crossed the finish line, he was likely the happiest person in Bosnia and Herzegovina that day.
Accepting his prize on stage beside his beaming mother, Nermin said his dedication wasn't just for Ramiza but for all who fight against breast cancer.
"I am running for my mom," he said, "but I am also running for all the mothers and all their children."
Today, the Sarajevo Race for the Cure — held this fall on October 5 — remains a positive force for change and an important dialogue-starter in the Balkans. In 2012, more than 6,000 people registered for the race, breaking the taboo and social stigma that is often associated with this disease in the region.

Canada earns first win over U.S.
MONTREAL (May 2, 2013)– Canada's national men's sitting volleyball team earned its first ever victory over the United States in men's sitting volleyball this past weekend at the Défi Sportif.
On Friday April 26, the Canadians playing in their first match in over a year beat the Americans 25-23, 25-18, 25-22. Darek Symonowicz of Toronto was the top Canadian scorer with 13 points. The Americans rebounded the next day defeating Canada 23-25, 25-22, 25-21, 25-15. Doug Learoyd of Calgary led Canada with 13 points.
"We got off to a great start in the exhibition series and were able to put pressure on the USA early with our ball control and maintain that pressure throughout the match,'' said Canada's head coach Ray Sewell of Calgary. ''The second day, we knew they were going to be better and they were. The USA outworked us on the defensive end and we were unable to score at critical times. ''
In the deciding match Sunday, the U.S., won again in four sets 25-15, 25-20, 16-25, 25-20. Larry Matthews of St. Albert, Alta., and Symonowicz scored nine points apiece for Canada.
''For our program, it was great that the third match meant something,'' said Sewell. ''We needed to see how guys performed in a pressure situation. Our work ethic was better this match, but we made costly errors at key points in sets and could not build any runs or momentum. Overall though, this was a great step forward for our team and we know where we need to improve upon and will begin to address those issues."
Next up for Canada will be the annual National Team Selection Camp in Edmonton, May 9-12, 2013.

These 15 sugary snacks range from bite-size candies to crumbly cookies to chocolate-covered fruits and nuts, and all come with a side of American history.
No potatoes are involved in the making of Idaho Spuds, which actually consist of coconut-flecked dark chocolate covering a springy cocoa-flavored marshmallow center.
Chocolate-covered macademia nuts are a quintessential Hawaiian treat and can be found anywhere and everywhere on the islands.
Layers of chocolate and soft vanilla caramel are poured over toasted pecans to create turtles, which are known as pecan buds at See's candy shops all over California.
The people of New Mexico love bizcochitos so much that they made the anise and cinnamon treats the official state cookie.
Children in Wisconsin have been enjoying Candy Raisins (which don't actually include raisins) since 1930. After the factory closed down in 2008, a version was reverse-engineered and relaunched as Candy Sunshine, available starting in March 2012.
Florida's coconut patties come in flavors like key lime, mango, and piña colada.
Legend has it that peanut brittle was created by Virginia folk hero Tony Beaver, who poured peanuts and molasses in a river to stop a flood.
Salt water taffy is sold up and down the Atlantic City boardwalk in New Jersey.
Maple sugar is twice as sweet as regular sugar, making these candies tooth-achingly delicious.
Pennsylvania's Peanut Chews were first formulated for ration boxes back in 1917, but the bars of molasses and peanuts covered in dark chocolate continue to be popular today.
Whoopie Pies, sweet creamy frosting sandwiched between moon-shaped pieces of chocolate cake, are the official state treat of Maine.
Tennessee's Goo Goo Clusters are a sweet treat with longevity—the chocolate, nougat, and pecan candies turn 100 in 2012.
When you order pralines (a combination of sugar cane and pecans) in Louisiana, be sure to pronounce it praw-LEENS.
Ohio is the Buckeye State, so it's no surprise that that favorite treat is also known as buckeyes. The chocolate-covered peanut butter candies look like the nut from the buckeye tree.
Washington state's Aplets & Cotlets are a take on Turkish Delight, made with apple and apricot juice from the local harvest.

When you ride the chairs early enough, you see fresh tracks on Red Lodge Mountain—a deer crossing Lower Limited, gray squirrels hightailing it across Silver and diving into holes, the trails of skis cutting snow. Many of us want to make first tracks, but in the right places, along soft edges, on wide runs, in certain bump fields, we can find the clear spaces for our own fresh tracks.
At a certain age, every opening day, every chance we have to ski, is one more day of bliss. Comparing notes with the other guys his age recovering from surgeries to shoulders, knees, and hips, my ski partner of 45 years, having missed most of last season, was anxious to be on skis again.
We were up early for Opening Day, and at 9 AM when the line of excited skiers and boarders started moving onto the Triple Chair, we could already tell that it would be a big day. With good snow, sunshine, blue skies, attentive grooming, smiling lifties, and happy people swooping down the trails, Red Lodge Mountain was the place to be.
We used our Grizzly Peak Club membership on Sunday to get onto the mountain at 8 AM. It's worth it, to be first on the Triple Chair headed for wide open, quiet runs. We cut velvety ridges of cord on Turnpike and Bobcat and were first in line at the Grizzly Peak chair to do the same on Lazy M. Despite the friendly warning from a serious young boy, "Barriers is all moguls," we went anyway. It was true, but the bumps were soft and small and well-spaced. We stopped for our customary viewing of the town of Red Lodge below. All autumn we look up from our driveway to Barriers, waiting for winter.
In town we have our holiday lights up. Come for Christmas! There's plenty of snow, plenty of mountain to share, and plenty of room for your own fresh tracks.

Commonly used in the convention and hospitality industries for applications such as temporary carpet adhesion, Shurtape DF-545 Double-Coated Cloth Carpet Tape provides residue-free removal for little to no cleanup post-event. It's engineered with natural and synthetic rubber, which offers superior adhesion to concrete, tile, hardwood flooring and other irregular surfaces. Additionally, this Shurtape double-sided tape has a special poly laminate layer provides high tensile strength in the most demanding construction, convention and abatement applications. Shurtape DF-545 comes on a blue color film release liner, which is great for applying the tape over larger areas since a film liner will not tear.

interesting, I'm surprised there wasn't a blind fighter before this, its quite a common idea.

Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Knew it Seig will come out of it unharmed. He's probably the 3rd strongest on Shinpaku. Thor and Ukita should just go home already. And Kisara too. If Berserker and the rest won't even go out of their car, you know that blind guy is above your league.
sig made by me
Yeah I also think he is the 3rd strongest, which is cool since he really doesn't have a Master that I am aware of... and I hate Ukita, even if he turned strong I hate how he acts/looks - and the fact he is weak makes it worse.
Good chapter though, I wanna see Berserker vs Kenichi.
ukita was like the 4th person kenichi took out, and he hasn't really improved much since then...
Kenichi has become 100 times stronger since that fight, so yeah ukita should go home, same for thor.
Even kisara is prerry much left behind by Kenichi, Miu, takeda and perhaps freya & Siegfried. (hard to tell with good ol siegfried)
Doesn't matter if they have a lot of tallent, they just don't have the masters to guide them further.
I know freya has her gramps and thor also gets some training by him but idk...
And there's been a blind martial artist before btw, the chinese kempo-master of the guy hermit had to fight to get his position in yami.

I see your point about masters, and if it continues as is then it's likely in the future Takeda will be stronger then Seigfried - but for now I'm like... 80% certain the power ranking in Shinpaku goes like this.
1 -Miu
2 -Kenichi
3 -Seigfreid
4 -Takeda
5 -Freya
I think it's likely Takeda/Freya are very close, but I think Takeda is like a battleship while Freya is like a destroyer. (meaning Takeda can take a lot of hits while doing big damage, Freya can move quicker while doing nearly the same damage but cannot take anywhere near the beating)
Manga reading list: Bleach, Naruto, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, One Piece, Code Breaker, Gamaran, Kuroko No Basket, Fairy Tail, The World God Only Knows, Kimi No Iru Machi, Good Ending, Medaka Box, Nisekoi, D.Gray-Man, Ao No Exorcist, Freezing, Magi - Labyrinth of Magic, Soul Eater, Rosario Vampire Season II, Iris Zero, Ubell Blatt, Bloody Cross, Sun-Ken Rock, and Infinite Stratos,
Jeez, he's not only powerful he's incredibly creepy, especially when his eyes are open.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Nice fight. Takeda's improvements are really showing now. Too bad a submission artist would almost always beats a boxer even in real fight. Just bad match up. A more improved Takeda vs Aagard's disciple would have been a splendid fight.

I have to be honest, settling on a topic for this morning's column apparently became an impossible task for this lowly writer. The reasons are many: it is Monday, it is August or, gasp, even a lack of talent. At any rate, some bullet points from the past weekend for lack of a better idea.
- Excluding Saturday night's home run derby, the Royals held the Yankees to just eight runs in the other three games of the series. Even including Saturday, the sixteen runs allowed by Royal pitching was really pretty impressive considering Zack Greinke did not start any of the four games.
- A lot has been written about Bryan Bullington finally securing his first major league win (and looking very good doing so). Without question, Bullington deserves more starts down the stretch and frankly I do not care at whose expense those starts come. Just a cautionary tale, however, Bobby Keppel in his first two starts as a Kansas City Royal allowed just 3 runs in 14.2 innings – the same number as Bullington's first two Royal starts – and Bobby was gone a month later.
- Kila Ka'aihue went 3 for 10 with 2 walks in the first three games (that's a .416 OBP by the by) of the series and was out of the lineup on Sunday. As an aside, last Thursday I compared the start of Kila's career to Travis Hafner. Rany did the same in his column yesterday. Now, if we can two more bloggers to do the same and then all click our heels together at the same time, it will come true.
- Mike Moustakas and Eric Hosmer were a combined seven for ten yesterday in the minors. I have cooled on the idea of bringing Moustakas up in September this year, given his struggles in Omaha – particularly his walk to strikeout ratio. Given the state of the starting rotation, even with some recent solid performances, it is hard to see any reason to rush Moustakas at this point. A mid-June debut should work out about right.
- A few weeks back, one of our commentors noted that Blaine Hardy was starting in Omaha. At the time, I theorized that it was just a way to get Hardy more innings of experience and that his future still was as a reliever. Now, it appears that the Royals are intending to convert Hardy to a starting role. In his last two starts, Blaine has gone six innings in each and allowed just two earned runs in both. Although he struck out a batter per inning in both rookie and A ball, Hardy's strikeouts have declined in AA and AAA. Still, he remains effective. Anyone adverse to seeing a couple of September starts out of him this year?
- Wilson Betemit's name was mentioned, however minorly, in a blurb on MLBTradeRumors regarding the Cardinals' search for a third baseman. If the Royals received an offer for Betemit, likely no more than a 20-25 ranked prospect in the low minors, would you take it? Or does it make more sense to continue to give Betemit regular duty and see if he can be a classic late bloomer?
- The new over/under on number of starts by Luke Hochevar before the end of the season has now been officially set at ONE.
Finally and just for fun, here is my projection for the Royals' starting rotation on July 1, 2011:
- Zack Greinke
- Luke Hochevar
- Mike Montgomery
- Blaine Hardy
- Sean O'Sullivan
I'm not saying that's necessarily good, just what I think it might be.
