Sunderland paid the price for failing to convert a number of chances in a one-sided first half as Sordell struck twice in nine minutes to book Bolton a home clash with Everton.
Wanderers were on the back foot early on as Stephane Sessegnon had an effort deflected wide before Craig Gardner cleared the bar with a rasping drive.
Adam Johnson drilled wide and then had another well-struck shot tipped over by Andy Lonergan, while Simon Mignolet easily dealt with a low effort from Sordell.
Lonergan did well to palm away a superb free-kick from Johnson, and Connor Wickham nodded straight at the keeper as the hosts ended the half without reward.
Bolton looked a different side after the interval as Mignolet got down well to deny Sordell before Chris Eagles blazed over.
But the visitors broke the deadlock on 64 minutes when Darren Pratley was scythed down by Jack Colback in the box and Sordell smashed home the resulting penalty.
The Sunderland defence contributed to their own downfall nine minutes later as they failed to deal with a Tyrone Mears cross and Sordell turned sharply to slot the second past Mignolet.
The home side responded as Phil Bardsley drove wide and Matthew Kilgallon headed over from close range, but Bolton held out to claim a notable Premier League scalp.

The scope of this webinar is an overview of arrhythmias in grow-up congenital heart (GUCH) disease with an emphasis on the role of catheter ablation in their management. Catheter ablation in these patients is often a challenging procedure, given individual distorted anatomy of the heart in each patient. Therefore, mapping and ablation require specific skills and expertise. Different imaging modalities are being used increasingly to help to guide the procedure.

Death of Justice Verma, the judge who helped toughen up Rape Laws in India
It is with deep regret that we hear the passing away of Justice Verma, a remarkable judge who headed a committee post the brutal rape and killing of the student in India.
Justice Verma was also the judge who decided amongst others, the Vishaka case, showcasing judicial due diligence at one of its finest moments. Vishaka laid down guidelines that the Government of India was to adopt in cases of sexual harassment until Parliament passed a law on sexual harassment.
In the words of Zarizana Abdul Aziz, WLUML Chair, "India, and indeed the world has lost a great luminary."

Jon Lester pitched two scoreless innings in his first start of spring training, leading the Boston Red Sox to a 5-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday.
Lester retired all six batters he faced, striking out one. He needed 24 pitches — 17 strikes — to get through the two innings, six in the second inning. All but one of Lester's pitches were fastballs.
Rafael Furcal was the designated hitter for St. Louis. He went 0 for 2 as he is working to return from a strained ligament in his throwing elbow that cut short his season. He recently received a cortisone shot in that elbow to help with a painful bone spur.
Daniel Descalso homered to right in the fifth inning for the Cardinals.

WOODSTOCK – The Woodstock North Thunder girls basketball teams are sponsoring a fundraiser to increase awareness about ovarian cancer.
Known as the silent killer because its symptoms mirror aches and pains that affect many women during the menstrual cycle, ovarian cancer is the fifth-leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women and is the deadliest gynecologic cancer.
"[The girls] felt like this type of cancer doesn't get a lot of attention, but it's very critical for women, especially because the symptoms are something you may not even think about as being something until you're in the later stages," said District 200's Laurie Crain, who is helping organize the event.
On Jan. 30, the basketball teams will host the Teal Awareness Benefit Game at Woodstock North High School against Blue Streaks from Woodstock High School. The freshmen and sophomores will play at 5:30 p.m., followed by the varsity team at 7 p.m.
District 200 Superintendent Ellyn Wrzeski, whose mother died from ovarian cancer, will talk during halftime about why she is passionate about supporting the cause. Ovarian cancer survivor Jolene White of Woodstock also will speak.
During the games, visitors can make a donation, buy a T-shirt or contribute to a memory wall that honors loved ones who have battled the disease. Teal hair clips, lanyards, bracelets and other ovarian cancer awareness items will be sold. All proceeds will go to Centegra's ovarian and uterine cancer screenings and awareness programs.
Woodstock School District 200 also is accepting donations by mail. Checks should be made payable to Woodstock North High School and sent to District 200, Attn: Laurie Crain, 227 W. Judd St. Woodstock, IL 60098.
Signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer :
• Bloating.
• Pelvic or abdominal pain.
• Trouble eating or feeling full quickly.
• Feeling the need to urinate urgently or often.
• Fatigue.
• Upset stomach or heartburn.
• Back pain.
• Pain during intercourse.
• Constipation or menstrual changes.

I would just like to take a minute at the end of this Mother's Day to honor my own mother who is halfway across the world in Milan, Italy, serving and teaching people there, with my dad. My mom and dad are the epitome of health and work long days doing meaningful things they love, not slowing down a bit just because they've retired. My mom is always learning and growing. Last year, she digested 17 books on the pharmaceutical industry and the way it has controlled and harmed the public's health. Then she went on radio shows and presented to community groups to teach people to put their faith somewhere else besides mainstream medicine. She is an incredible reader, teacher, and presenter. I wish you could hear her speak: before she left for Italy, she studied Italian on her own so intensively that she gave part of her farewell speech in Italian!
My dad can (and has!) beat me running races, despite the fact that he is 64 years old. He owes my mom a big thank you for helping him be so healthy, feeding him a plant-based diet for the 43 years they've been married. He has plenty of risk factors, including having worked as a young adult spraying Malathion in his grandfather's cherry orchards, not even wearing a face mask. But he is crazy healthy, and his love of running and his good diet must be the reasons!
I want to be like them when I grow up, I want to make them proud, and I want to raise my children to be worthy of the great legacy they've given us. Thanks for setting a great example to me, Mom! Happy Mother's Day!

American Indian casinos showing yearly growth
Despite a sluggish economy, the American Indian tribal gambling industry saw continued growth in 2011. Florida's Indian tribes generated total gambling revenue of about $2.16 billion, up by 5 percent. In 2011, Florida's Indian gaming sites showed growth over 2010 totals, but it was slower than in prior years, when it grew 18 percent in 2008 and 10 percent in 2009. [Source: Naples Daily News]
Home care, tele-medicine cut health costs
Health-care leaders in Florida are developing innovative methods to care for many patients in the comfort of their homes or in nursing homes instead of sending them on costly and risky trips to the hospital. These Florida initiatives are tackling one of the biggest problems facing Congress and the nation: how to provide quality care at lower cost without raising taxes or cutting benefits.

Research ties economic inequality to gap in life expectancy
The widening gap in life expectancy between two adjacent Florida counties reflects perhaps the starkest outcome of the nation's growing economic inequality: Even as the nation's life expectancy has marched steadily upward, reaching 78.5 years in 2009, a growing body of research shows that those gains are going mostly to those at the upper end of the income ladder.

The pool matches for WRWC 2014 will take place at the Federation Française de Rugby (FFR) in Marcoussis and Marcoussis Rugby Club.
The knockout stages of the tournament will also see matches played at the FFR in Marcoussis, with the semi-finals, Bronze Final and Final taking place at Stade Jean Bouin in the French capital.
The matches will take place on August 1, 5, 9, 13, with the final played on August 17.
The tournament format will be the same as for the hugely successful Women's Rugby World Cup in 2010, with 12 teams split into three pools of four. The pool allocation draw will take place once all 12 teams are confirmed.
Eight teams have already qualified for Women's Rugby World Cup 2014 in defending champions New Zealand, 2010 runners-up England, Australia, hosts France, USA, Canada, Ireland and Wales.
With one round remaining of the qualifier in Madrid, four teams - Italy, Spain, Samoa and Scotland - are still in contention for those two qualification places going into the final day on Saturday.
This will leave only two places remaining, to be filled by an African and Asian qualifier.
IRB Tournament Director Philippe Bourdarias, said: "It's great to finally announce the dates and venues for the Women's Rugby World Cup in 2014. A lot of work has gone on behind the scenes to get us here, and it's really shaping up to be a World Cup like no other.
"We've all seen how Women's Rugby has progressed rapidly since the last World Cup in 2010 in England. We want to build on that success, and I have no doubt that the 12 teams that travel to France next year will give us a master-class in Rugby at this elite level."

Here is an interview that Regina Mburu, CFCA communications liaison in Kenya, conducted with Truphena, 78. Truphena is in the Hope for a Family sponsorship program in Kenya.
What is your secret for long life?
Growing up in the village I had the chance to eat healthy foods, nothing artificial, only fresh food from the farm and fresh fish from the lake. This has greatly contributed to my long life.
Truphena, sponsored through CFCA's Hope for a Family program in Kenya.
What advice do you have for young people?
I would urge young people to be content with what they can afford. Desiring what is not within their reach can lead them along the wrong path. The youth should also learn that hard work is the only way to achieve what you desire. Listening to the advice given to them by the aging is also very important, if they want to succeed.
What is the most important thing that your mother taught you?
My mother emphasized respect. She told me that to live a fruitful life, one must respect everybody that they come across.
Whatís your favorite food?
I enjoy eating fresh fish from the lake and ugali (a mixture of water and maize flour).
What do you like most about CFCA?
CFCA has supported me by giving me nutritional benefits. I am an old woman and am not able to work and get money to buy food. I am grateful to CFCA because I never go hungry. When I am sick, CFCA helps me get the treatment that I require. The people in CFCA have become part of my family; they talk with me and listen to me, and I feel much appreciated.
If you could visit any place in the world, where would you go and why?

A favorite book of mine--Gilead by Marilynne Robinson
Gilead is a quiet, reflective book about things of the heart and spirit—forgiveness and the relationship between father and son. John Ames is an elderly pastor in the small town of Gilead, Iowa in the 1950s. He had a son late in life and is writing down his thoughts and memories for his son so that his son will know about his family and heritage. Pastor Ames is the grandson and son of preachers. His grandfather had been a fiery abolitionist preacher before the Civil War and his father a pacifist preacher. His best friend is Robert Boughton, also a pastor in Gilead. Pastor Boughton's son was named for John Ames, but the son has been a prodigal son. This is a short, moving book in the form of a letter. Marilynne Robinson wrote Home, a follow-up to Gilead which looks at the same time period and events in Gilead but from the perspective of Glory Boughton, the youngest daughter of Robert Boughton. Marilynn Robinson won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize in fiction for Gilead.

Our starring mentors
A week from this Thursday, Rhodes on the Pawtuxet will be swinging.
All the attention will be focused on the dance floor where a group of adventuresome individuals have the gumption to be paired with professional dancers from Warwick's Dancin' Feelin' to raise funds for the Rhode Island Mentoring Partnership.
We say "gumption" because good dancing isn't easy and dancing in front of a crowd is even more difficult. It's also a lot of work. On average, the folks at Dancin' Feelin', and those volunteering to be in the limelight, have spent weeks rehearsing routines that will take less than five minutes to perform. And to get the audience in the mood for the evening's entertainment, Channel 10's Mario Hilario and Lite Rock 105's Heather Gerstein, both celebrity dancers in the past, have roles in this year's Dancing With the Stars of Mentoring. Hilario will be dancing in the opening number.
As you know, or can guess, Dancing with the Stars is a fundraiser. The event generates upwards of $70,000 that enables the partnership to carry on its program of matching mentors with students an hour every week during the academic year. Students are selected by teachers and principals or at the request of a guardian or parent for the program. The relationships that develop are often lasting and have been shown to have a profound impact on a student's performance in school. Attendance goes up and students have someone they can lean on for advice, or just listen to their side of things. Statewide, more than 4,000 students have been paired with mentors.
Dancing is a good metaphor for what happens between mentor and mentee. Not all pairings work out. That's life. But for those that it does, both benefit.
As for next Thursday's show, this is also a display of the power of mentoring. We applaud those who have chosen to step onto the dance floor to raise funds and awareness of the cause – their efforts will reap untold benefits.
The curtain call truly belongs to the mentors who, week in and week out, visit their mentees.
To learn about becoming a mentor, about tickets to Dancing with the Stars and how to help, visit www.mentorRI.org.

The club was blanked on Friday night, losing 3-0 at home against FC Twente. Altidore started and played the entire contest but failed to get on the score sheet.
Everton grabs three points late
Tim Howard stopped just one shot as Everton dominated possession against West Ham United on Saturday. The Toffees won the match 2-1 after a crucial red card for Carlton Cole opened the game up. Steven Pienaar took advantage in the 73rd minute, notching the winner.
Dempsey on the mend
Clint Dempsey was not included in Tottenham's lineup on Saturday due to a groin injury. The versatile midfielder picked up the injury, which isn't too serious, and was kept out of the side as a precautionary measure. Brad Friedel was once again the backup keeper as Spurs drew with Stoke 0-0.
Bradley continues solid play as Roma wins
Michael Bradley started on Saturday and played a very efficient game as Roma jumped out to a dominant 4-0 lead over AC Milan, ultimately prevailing 4-2. Although the midfielder did not record an assist, he was very much a part of the attack and has certainly found a groove with his new club.
Cameron solid in draw
Geoff Cameron started on Saturday and played very well as Stoke kept Tottenham quiet in a 0-0 draw at White Hart Lane. Stoke, a very defensive-minded squad, did well to curb the Spurs attack. The club remains in the middle of the table thanks in large part to a league-high 10 draws.
Villa duo rocked by Chelsea
Eric Lichaj and Brad Guzan started on Sunday and although Guzan made seven saves, he also allowed eight goals as Chelsea dominated en route to an 8-0 victory. The London giant got started early and was up 3-0 by the half. Guzan managed to stop a penalty kick from Lucas Piazon in the 89th minute but was noticeably frustrated when Ramires tallied the eighth and final goal in stoppage time.
Jones picks up loss and card in cup play
Schalke midfielder Jermaine Jones played the full 90 minutes on Tuesday and picked up a yellow card as the club fell 2-1 to Mainz in the last 16 of the DFB Pokal. Jones was suspended last week and cannot compete in Bundesliga action until February, but was able to get involved in cup play.
Onyewu scores huge goal
Oguchi Onyewu scored an equalizer in stoppage time on Tuesday, giving Malaga a 1-1 draw against SD Eibar in the first leg of a Copa del Rey round of 16 tie. The defender's strike was a crucial one as it came on the road. Malaga will host the return leg on Jan. 8. Onyewu dressed but did not play on Saturday as Malaga defeated Real Madrid 3-2.
Kljestan plays well in win
Anderlecht's Sacha Kljestan started and played the entire contest as his squad defeated Genk 4-2 on Sunday.
Parkhurst Germany bound
U.S. national team defender Michael Parkhurst signed with German Bundesliga side FC Augsburg on a free transfer last week. Parkhurst spent the last four seasons with Danish club Nordsjaelland and will try to help Augsburg climb out of the relegation zone, as it currently sits in 17th place.

MARTINSVILLE, Va. – Dale Earnhardt Jr. disliked the attention caused by his concussions and nearly 3-week departure from NASCAR, but said Friday he returns to racing glad he took steps to make sure he is OK.
NASCAR's most popular driver, who had a hard crash at Talladega on Oct. 7 that left him with headaches and his second concussion in 6 weeks, is returning at Martinsville Speedway this weekend.
He was examined and cleared to return by neurosurgeon and NASCAR consultant Dr. Jerry Petty on Tuesday, 1 day after Earnhardt ran 123 laps during a test at half-mile Gresham Motorsports Park in Jefferson, Ga.
"I'm glad I did what I did. I'm glad I took the time off and made the choices that I made," Earnhardt said. "I had to do it. I didn't have a choice. I knew something wasn't right."
Earnhardt missed races at Charlotte and Kansas, and said it was initially frightening to know something was amiss in his head.
"Some concussions are really bad, and I don't care how tough you think you are, when your mind is not working the way it is supposed to, it scares the [expletive] out of you," he said. "You are not going to think about race cars. You aren't going to think about trophies. You're not going to think about your job. You're going to be thinking about what do I got to do to get my brain working the way it was before.
"That's going to jump right to the top of the priority list, I promise you."
Earnhardt said the time away provided an education he now appreciates, including learning the difference between a concussion he suffered during a tire test in Kansas on Aug. 29 that left him feeling foggy and fuzzy, and the one at Talladega on Oct. 7 that left him emotional, filled with anxiety and "a mess."
A trip to see concussion specialist Dr. Michael Collins at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center helped alleviate the anxiety. It put Earnhardt on track to getting better and understanding his injuries.
Earnhardt guessed that he's probably suffered between four and six concussions in his career. He said in the past, when the symptoms didn't seem severe, he might have been inclined to race anyway.
"I'm definitely going to be honest with myself and honest with the doctors," he said. "I'm going to do whatever they tell me to do. I want to be able to live a full life and not have any issues down the road."
He said he left his return up to doctors, never giving much thought to the possibility that with his championship hopes gone it might make sense for him to sit out the final four races, too.
"I'm just excited to be back to work," he said. "Get back in the car and get back to normal."
Johnson wins pole
Jimmie Johnson won the pole position for Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Martinsville Speedway with a lap of 97.598 miles per hour.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. was 20th. See the whole lineup on B9.

(Wyo.)-Dept. Of Transportation Set For New Projects With Fuel Tax Increase
By: Roxie Graham-Marski Posted at: 09/05/2013 08:30 AM CHEYENNE, Wyo. (ASSOCIATED PRESS) - The Wyoming Department of Transportation plans to get to work on 19 additional highway projects over the next year now that lawmakers have approved a 10-cent-per-gallon increase in the state fuel tax.
WyDOT officials say they're looking at starting more than 50 new projects over the next three years.
The tax increase will bring in an estimated $47.5 million a year in additional fuel tax revenue.
Upcoming projects include new pavement on a 10-mile section of Wyoming Highway 28 south of Lander. WyDOT also is looking at bridge rehabilitation work at various locations in northwest Wyoming.

Back when the idea of computers first started penetrating the public mind, people starting having all these crazy and whacky ideas of what computers would look like in the future. The idea of a kitchen computer had its feet firmly planted in those trains of thought, but despite the awesomeness of the H316, it never really caught on - which could have something to do with the fact that the H316 required a two-week programming course with the switch-and-lights operated device before you could actually work with it.
Having a computer in your kitchen doesn't actually sound like too weird of an idea. I know some people who have a TV in their kitchen (that's rare over here though) and sometimes a radio. Having a computer would mean that you don't have to print the recipes to use those in your kitchen, or that you have to move your laptop there. It could also play music in any format you wish, some video, you name it. This could be a market - if done right.
El Reg thinks that a recently announced product by ARC, a manufacturer of embedded systems, is something that could make it a whole lot easier for OEMs to make these devices. The Media Phone is a stack designed from the silicon up, meaning it has all the audio and video chips as well as codecs necessary to play audio and video. It's also instant-on, with access to the internet. This type of device, like the Jogger from O2 and the Hub from Verizon, is perfect for use in the kitchen. With ARC's solution, the OEM "only" has to build its own user interface, and shove it in a box.
What interests me the most - and you too, probably - is the operating system this thing runs on. It is powered by the MQX Embedded Operating System, which is a real-time operating system with a small footprint and - obviously - a microkernel. This thing isn't even listed on Wikipedia, so I had to dig a little deeper to find more information about it. I found said information, and it's all quite interesting. MQX is found in lots of devices around the world, and is tightly integrated with Freescale's CodeWarrior tools to make development for and with it easier. Source code is available, and you're free to do with it as you please. Support is limited to PowerPC and ColdFire processors, though. You can request a free evaluation kit.
It wouldn't be too hard to turn this Media Phone platform into a modern-day H316. The design is already here, folks, and so are the internals. All I'm waiting for is for some genius to add the two together, and I'm buying it.

A New American Picture. Photographs by Doug Rickard. White Press/Schaden.com 2010. Unpaged (92 pp). Oblong quarto (13 x 9 in./33 x 23 cm.) SIGNED and hadn-numbered edition of 200. Hardbound. Printed boards. No jacket as issued. Color reproductions. Selected as one of the Best Books of 2010 by:
John Gossage
Martin Parr
(who also selected it as one of his Best Books of the Decade) and
Morten Andersen
"This small edition of images grabbed from Google Street View is a wonderful and poignant book. By trawling through the back streets of America and images usually including pedestrians with their faces blurred by Google, we see how this new twist to street shooting, by a camera on top of a car, is very good indeed."--Martin Parr
Since A New American Picture was widely hailed as one of the best photobook publications of 2010, Doug Rickard has been on a roll: work from the series was included in the Museum of Modern Art's prestigious
New Photography
show for 2011. Concurrent with that publication Rickard had a solo show at Yossi Milo Gallery in New York. Aperture picked up the impossibly rare first edition (which was only 200 copies!) and re-issued it last year to still more acclaim! (Read
Karen Jenkins'
review in photo-eye Magazine.)
"Doug Rickard (American, born 1968) studied United States history and sociology at the University of California, San Diego, before moving to photography. He has drawn on this background in research for his series A New American Picture, which focuses on places in the United States where unemployment is high and educational opportunities are few. On a virtual road trip, Rickard located these sites remotely using the Street View feature of the website Google Maps, which has mapped and photographed every street in the country. Scrutinizing the Google Maps pictures, he composed images on his computer screen, which he then photographed using a digital camera. The resulting pictures—digitally manipulated to remove the Google watermark and cropped to a panoramic format—comment on poverty and racial equity in the United States, the bounty of images on the web, and issues of personal privacy."--
Museum of Modern Art
"It was William Eggleston who coined the phrase "photographing democratically" but Rickard has used Google's indiscriminate omniscience to radically extend this enterprise – technologically, politically and aesthetically...
"The spots chosen by Rickard are in the economically ravaged fringes of cities: the waste lands and desolate roads that form the constant backwash of America's broken promise. These places are populated by stray figures, strays both in the sense that they have wandered into the car's 360-degree view, but also because they have strayed from the path of prosperity – or more accurately, the path to prosperity has passed them by. Loping baggily across the road, these forlorn figures look like they will never quite make it to the opposite kerb, as if they have been cut adrift, are stranded perpetually in the limbo of late capitalism.
"The series contains obvious echoes of photographs made by Evans in the 1930s, with the vernacular signage – 'AMERICAN COLLISION, SUPER FAIR' – serving a similarly choric function. The shifting spirit of Robert Frank seems also to be lurking, as if the Google vehicle were an updated incarnation of the car in which he made his famous mid-50s road trip to produce his photographic series, The Americans. As with these two illustrious predecessors there is a strange beauty – sad, lyrical , unconsoled – in this latest virtual installment of the American photographic safari-odyssey. We end up not with the pristine clarity of an Evans or the hurried, side-long glance of a Frank but with a shimmer and blur, a washed-out and defining imprecision. Colours are simultaneously enhanced and drained by whatever processes Rickard has put them through. Sometimes the sky gets rinsed out, other times it has a vestige of the turquoise ache of the Super-8 of old (the colour of optimism, of economic growth for all). All of which contributes to the sense that we are seeing ghost towns – or ghost streets – in the process of formation."--Geoff Dyer,
Street View: On Photographers' Appropriation of Google Maps
, The Believer, June, 2012
"[Rickard] reckons he ended up with 10-15,000 shots which have been edited down to about 80 for his series...The results are stunning and disturbing, not least because the people in the shots don't know or don't care if they are being photographed. In New Orleans, four black kids stroll down a desolate street under a livid sky. In the Bronx, the blurred figure of a man in a suit hovers menacingly outside a closed grocery store. In Dallas, a white dog beside a dead tree and a bleached-out yard glances round at Google's passing car. Or — my favourite — in Fresno, a man wearing a white hat sits in a wheelchair in a dirt yard. Behind him there is a truck and a shabby ranch-style house. Everything seems to be fading to beige but for the sharp blue wheelie bins. The man is watching the car, he has nothing else to do. These pictures are redemptions. There was always something intrusive and robotic about the Street View project, but there was also something philistine, a crude reduction of the photographic method and of the wonders of the golden age to a mechanized ordinariness. But, by a relentless editing process and a clear purpose, Rickard redeems photography from the morass of digital imagery by giving it real- world substance. 'The super-important thing, ultimately,' he says, 'is that I was using Google but it's not about Google, it's about America.'"--Bryan Appleyard,

I saw Colin Fry for the first time on Thursday and after watching him on 'The Six Sense' I was really looking forward to seeing his show.
However I can't help but feel that most of the audience was extremley disapointed with Colin's performance. Colin spent far too much time talking… (cont'd) Sarah

State Land Commissioner Ray Powell did the right thing by reversing a land swap that his predecessor, Patrick Lyons, had arranged. Powell has effectively returned White Peak in Colfax and Mora counties to the people — where it rightly belongs.
In 2009, Lyons negotiated an agreement to swap 7,205 acres of state trust land at White Peak for 3,330 acres of ranch land. The exchange was one of four proposed by the State Land Office under Lyons that would have traded 14,000 acres of public land for 9,600 acres owned by White Peak ranches.

Yes folks, it's the release you've all been waiting for. The forums have been abuzz with expectation and now you can get it!
Well, all right, I don't think anyone has mentioned it for quite a while actually. Anyway, here's the announcement.
I am now wondering if I can do an on-line upgrade of 11.3 on testbox to save the bother of downloading the whole thing and installing. I have quite a few custom repos, so it might take a bit of fiddling. Maybe at the weekend.

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is coming. Sometime. We're at that point now where BlizzCon has been over for a few months and Blizzard is being pretty stingy with new information in the meantime. It's a definite dry spell, but the same thing happened with Wrath -- and then the Friends and Family Alpha began, and all bets were off.
And while the F&F Alpha for Cataclysm hasn't started yet (believe me, we'd know), that doesn't mean you can't stay informed. There've been bits and pieces of new info released, in PC Gamer magazine, on Twitter, and elsewhere on the internet. And we like to keep track of that! What's come out is mostly new information on what's going to happen to Azeroth. And we just recently decoded this planning map of Cataclysm zones, which is where some information comes from.
So what this article is meant to be is a compendium of all known changes to old-world zones that'll occur in Cataclysm, sorted by continent and zone. We'll update whenever new information is released.
Hit the jump to get caught up!
Disclaimer: Some information may be outdated or incorrect by this stage in Cataclysm's development!

Guide to observing other cloud phenomena including noctilucent night clouds and contrails.
Noctilucent clouds
Height of base: Above 200,000 ft
Noctilucent clouds are extremely rare very high clouds seen in the night sky, usually on clear, summer nights. They become visible about the same time as the brightest stars and are usually bluish or silvery, but sometimes orange or reddish. Noctilucent clouds most closely resemble thin streaky cirrus, and are thought to be made of ice crystals. These clouds are usually seen at latitudes between 45°N and 80°N in the Northern Hemisphere.
Contrails or condensation trails
Height of base: Above 20,000 ft
Contrails are frequently seen criss-crossing the sky and are created from condensation trails from aircraft engines. The exhaust of the plane produces a thin trail of water droplets or ice crystals which then expand leaving a fluffy trail where the aircraft has passed.
Kelvin-Helmholtz cloud
Height of base: Above 16,500 ft
An extremely rare phenomenon where a cloud produces a billowing wave pattern. They occur when there is a strong vertical shear between two air streams causing winds to blow faster at the upper level than at the lower levels. They are named after Hermann von Helmholtz and William Thomson Kelvin who were meteorologists who studied turbulent air flow.
Lenticular cloud
Height of base: 6,500 - 16,500 ft
These orographic wave clouds form when the air is stable and winds blow from the same or similar direction at many levels of the troposphere. As the wind blows across hilly or mountainous regions, the air undulates in a downstream train of waves. If there is enough moisture in the air, these waves will condense to form the unique appearance of lenticular clouds. The clouds can be seen as far as 60 miles downwind of the hills or mountains that led to their formation and they are believed to be one of the most common explanations for UFO sightings across the world.
Nacreous cloud
Height of base: 68,500 - 100,000 ft
Nacreous clouds form in the lower stratosphere over polar regions when the sun is just below the horizon. The clouds are illuminated from below and often glow in vivid colours and will often remain visible for a couple of hours after sunset and through the night as they are lit by moonlight. Nacreous clouds form below -78 °C temperatures and so are most likely to occur during the polar winter.

Editor's Note: In a story Feb. 3 about a bill to repeal an expansion of Colorado gun background checks, The Associated Press reported erroneously a statement by National Rifle Association lobbyist Daniel Carey. He said the background check law has shown no evidence it has curbed violent crime, not that it has shown evidence of curbing violent crime.
A corrected version of the story is below:
DENVER (AP) – Democrats rejected an attempt Monday to repeal new background checks for private and online firearm sales in Colorado, arguing the law adopted last year in the wake of mass shootings is preventing criminals from buying guns.
Republicans proposing the repeal say they're not convinced the new requirements are improving public safety, and that the expanded background checks are infringing on the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens.
Senate Democrats defeated the repeal bill Monday on a 3-2 party-line committee vote after dozens testified for and against the proposal in the Capitol's largest hearing room, which was packed with a couple of hundred people.
But the crowd didn't equal the size or the intensity of last year when gun rights supporters drove their honking cars around the Capitol in protest as lawmakers discussed a package of gun-control bills spearheaded by Democrats.
National Rifle Association lobbyist Daniel Carey called last year's law "unnecessary and unconstitutional." He argued the new law has shown evidence that it has curbed violent crime.
"Really, it only unnecessarily burdens law-abiding citizens," he said.
Democrats and supporters of the expanded background checks spent much of their time citing figures from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, which found that 104 people with criminal records tried to buy guns but failed background checks during private transactions since the new requirements took effect July 1.
Among the crimes that resulted in denials were one homicide, six restraining orders and 16 assaults.
In all, 6,076 background checks have been conducted for private and online sales. That's a small percentage of the overall number of checks for the year, which stands at 389,604.
The rate of denial for firearms after a background check on private and online transactions is just under 2 percent, about the same as the overall rate of denial for all gun sales.
The new background check requirement was one of a handful of gun restrictions Democrats passed last session at great political cost. Another bill limited the size of ammunition magazines to 15 rounds. Republicans are also trying to repeal that law.
A pending federal lawsuit also seeks to overturn the new background checks and the magazine limits.
Two Democratic senators lost their seats through subsequent recall elections as a result of the gun restrictions, and a third resigned under pressure when a recall effort was underway.
Pueblo Republican Sen. George Rivera, who replaced one of two Democratic senators who were recalled, sponsored the bill to repeal the new background checks.
"When people are bent on committing mayhem they're going to do it, and the laws notwithstanding," Rivera said. He called the background-check expansion onerous to the majority of the population and said Pueblo voters "sent me here to deliver a message."
Supporters of the new laws say the measures were necessary in the aftermath of mass shootings at a suburban Denver movie theater and an elementary school in Connecticut.
"If only one person convicted of assault or domestic violence is prevented from getting a gun because of this law then our state is that much safer," said Jennifer Hope, leader of the Colorado chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.
Some gun stores are refusing to do the background checks for private transfers, saying they're too costly. That's because in addition to the actual cost of the check, which is about $10, the new law says the gun shops can't charge a service fee of more than $10 for those private sales. However, some gun dealers says it costs them as much as $100 to do those checks.
"We've had a number of people come in, and we've just politely told them that we're not offering that service currently," said Richard Taylor, the manager at Aurora's Firing-Line.
Theresa Hoover's son, 18-year-old son AJ Boik, was among the 12 people killed the summer of 2012 in a suburban Denver movie theater during a midnight screening of "The Dark Knight Returns."
Hoover urged lawmakers to keep the expanded background checks intact, saying "we all know that it only takes one criminal with one gun to devastate a family or a community."
She told lawmakers that her son died in the arms of his fiancee after being shot in the head.
"He was 18 years old and just graduated high school and was going to go to college," Hoover said. "He was in movie. He was doing one of his favorite things with someone he loved in a place where he should've been safe."

MARENGO - The Marengo football team gave Burlington Central a surprise to start the game.
Fortunately for the Rockets, it quickly wore off as Burlington cruised to a 28-6 Big Northern Conference East Division win.
The Indians moved tailback John Lesiak to quarterback in spread formations to open the game, catching the Rockets (5-1, 4-0) defense off-guard. The Indians (1-5, 0-4) went 78 yards in five plays to score on their first possesion, including a 45-yard gain on a double reverse on the first play of the game, but only gained 16 total yards the rest of the half. Burlington held Marengo to 28 yards in the second half.
"They came out in some different stuff, and we're very preparation oriented. We freaked out a little bit and they took advantage of it and shoved it down the field on us," Burlington coach Rich Crabel said. "We made a couple of very, very minor adjustments and just started playing a little bit better."
The Rockets opened up the game in the second quarter, scoring on back-to-back possessions. An interception by Ibrahim Sanson set up the Rockets on Marengo's 20-yard line, and five plays later Reilly Marino scored from four yards out. On their second score, quarterback Tyler Majewski found Joe Breeden open deep for a 58-yard touchdown.
Starting his third game for injured Ryan Ritchie, Majewski went 5 for 15 for 154 yards and added a nine-yard rushing touchdown, with his shortest completion being a 12-yard gain.
Marino lead the way on the ground for Burlington, with 21 carries for 73 yards and added another score in the fourth quarter on a five-yard run.
Benet 2, Batavia 0 (25-16, 25-20): At Lisle, Batavia had a 13-10 lead in Game 2 but couldn't hang on against the defending 4A state champions. Shea Stanley (seven kills), Heather Meyer (six kills, 12 digs) and Audrey Faulhaber (17 assists) paced Batavia.
Gagliano named Wheaton Academy coach: At West Chicago, Paul Gagliano was named Wheaton Academy's coach, replacing 2011 interim coach Laura Frost.
"I am grateful for this opportunity to coach at Wheaton Academy and thank [athletic director] Andrew Tink for his confidence in me," Gagliano said in a statement. "I look forward to building upon the foundation that is here and creating a positive, successful and respected program."
Gagliano has been a top coach with the Wasco Diamonds travel program for several seasons. This past summer, he guided the 12U Diamonds to a 54-21-1 record and a 12U USSSA Central Illinois state championship.
Wheaton Academy finished 10-19 in 2012 while advancing to a regional championship game for the third time in four seasons. The Warriors featured Gagliano's daughter, Marissa, now a junior, as a top offensive threat. Wheaton Academy is set to move from Class 2A to Class 3A this season.

Detroit: Death certificate or rebirth?
James Clingman, NNPA Columnist | 8/16/2013, 6 a.m.
Two intelligent and savvy guys, James Craig and Odis Jones, both Detroiters who held the positions of police chief and economic development director, respectively, in Cincinnati, returned to Detroit recently. Craig took over the police department and Jones is the CEO of the Detroit Public Lighting Authority. I have to believe they know something positive is taking place, having left pretty good jobs in Cincy to go back home to a bankrupt city. As far as I know, no one rowed out to the Titanic to get on board when it was sinking.
Dan Gilbert, the billionaire owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Quicken Loans, and now Casino mogul, owns so much land in Detroit that it is measured in square miles rather than acres. Surely he knows something, too. The hotel industry is flourishing, according to a recent news report they must know something, too.
I hope and pray that black Detroiters know what's up and will get engaged in the economic growth of their city, and show us how it's done. In 1968, Detroit icon, Albert Cleage said, "…This marks a new day for black people… The black community… must control its own destiny… this means political control of all areas in which black people are a majority… Politics is only one aspect, however. It is also necessary for blacks to have economic control of their community. In Detroit we are trying to invent strategies for this, such as the development of co-op retail stores, co-op buying clubs, co-op light manufacturing, co-op education…These ventures will give black people a sense of their economic possibilities and a realization of their need for economic training." Cleage was right then— and he still is.
Jim Clingman, founder of the Greater Cincinnati African American Chamber of Commerce, is the nation's most prolific writer about economic empowerment for black people. He is an adjunct professor at the University of Cincinnati and can be reached through his website: www.blackonomics.com.

A Montauk driver who peeled out of a parking lot near the docks, brakes screeching, late at night on Feb. 1 was arrested after a short chase and charged with driving while intoxicated as well as resisting arrest.
An East Hampton Town police officer watched as the blue Subaru drove on and off West Lake Drive, and stopped it at West Lake and Duryea Avenue. The driver, Christopher M. Forsberg, 40, displayed classic signs of intoxication, according to the police log, including a lack of coordination. Asked to perform the standard roadside sobriety tests, starting with walking seven steps, heel to toe, then pivoting, Mr. Forsberg was staggering so badly, the report said, that the officer stopped him, fearing for his safety.
A backup officer arrived, which is standard in potential D.W.I. cases: someone has to look after the defendant's car after the arrest. But in Mr. Forsberg's case, according to the report, the second officer had to help handcuff him. Once handcuffed, police said, he threw himself down, "kicking and rolling around on the ground" and refusing to get into the back of the patrol car.
Two more officers arrived, and the four of them wrestled Mr. Forsberg onto the back seat for the half-hour trip to police headquarters in Wainscott. Once there, according to the report, he began complaining of chest pains and "displaying psychotic behavior."
Two officers then drove him to Southampton Hospital. There, police said, he at first consented to have his blood drawn for a drug and alcohol test, then refused to allow a nurse to do it, then agreed to have it done, "as long as it wouldn't be used by the police." After being cleared by the emergency room staff for release, he was taken back to headquarters and placed in a cell for the rest of the night.
Justice Catherine Cahill arraigned him the next morning on the two charges. Because Mr. Forsberg has a previous conviction for drunken driving within the past 10 years, the charge against him was raised to a class E felony. Due to his longtime roots in the Montauk community, he was released on $350 bail.
After his pickup truck ran into a tree on Church Lane and Accabonac Road in the early evening hours of Feb. 4, Manuel F. Chuya-Guaman, 40, of Springs was charged with D.W.I. An officer responding to a report of a crash found a 2003 GMC truck up against the tree, with Mr. Chuya-Guaman standing outside the cabin. The Springs Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services were already there, the police reported, with an E.M.T. helping Mr. Chuya-Guaman "stand upright so that he did not fall over."
He told the officer he'd tried to turn left onto Church Lane, but "another vehicle was in his way." She had him begin the sequence of sobriety tests, but finally had to tell him to stop and lean against the police car.
Back at headquarters, Mr. Chuya-Guaman was given an Intoxilyzer 5000 breath test. His blood-alcohol level was apparently .18 of 1 percent or higher, over twice the legal level, since he wound up charged with aggravated D.W.I.
His truck, which was totaled, was uninsured, according to the police, who said his registration had been suspended in November. That led to an additional charge, driving an uninsured vehicle. He was released the next morning on $350 bail.
After a 2001 Volvo being driven by Emma Bernier, 31, of Springs rear-ended a 2012 Chevy at the intersection of Springs-Fireplace Road and Harbor Boulevard at about 7 p.m. on Feb. 2, the result was the arrest of Ms. Bernier on a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol, a lesser charge than drunken driving. However, she also faces a charge of driving without a license — that one a felony.
Ms. Bernier reportedly told town police she was adjusting her iPod at the time and took her eyes off the car in front, which happened to be braking to a stop. After the collision the Volvo reportedly drove off, but it returned while an officer was interviewing the Chevy driver. Ms. Bernier appeared intoxicated, the report said, and allegedly failed field sobriety tests.
A computer check revealed that Ms. Bernier was driving with a conditional license, police said, her regular license having been suspended following an aggravated D.W.I. conviction in 2009. This fact, in combination with the current alcohol-related charge, led to the felony charge.
She was taken to headquarters and released without bail several hours later, with a future date in court. Her car was impounded, under county law.
The driver of the Chevy was unhurt.

- Words by Mr Tom M Ford, Features Writer, MR PORTER
There aren't many British bands that can rival our sales and shows globally," says lead singer Mr Alex Trimble, in the bowels of London's Brixton Academy. "It says something about the accessibility of our music," adds bassist Mr Kevin Baird. "We do well everywhere, so we go everywhere." With a tireless tour schedule - covering everywhere from Mexico City to Moscow - catching up with this platinum-selling pop outfit hours before a sell-out show seemed appropriate.
School friends from Northern Ireland, Two Door Cinema Club signed to Mr Gildas Loaëc's Kitsuné label in 2009. As an electronic-led group they were inspired by the energy of Bloc Party and Franz Ferdinand, and played European club nights with acts including Justice and Soulwax.
Released in 2010 and mixed by Mr Philippe Zdar - who has worked with the likes of Phoenix and Chromeo - debut album Tourist History slowly seeped into the mainstream, with earworms such as "This is the Life" featuring on TV and films. The journey from electro-indie band to more commercial pop outfit has been a welcome one, despite the inevitable backlash. "The more people buying your music means the more people won't like it," says Mr Baird. "We just ignore that. The more it sells and the bigger the shows, the better for us. We don't care if we're not cool!"
With last September's follow-up LP Beacon hitting No.2 in the UK and No.4 in Australia, the band are sticking to the uplifting electro-pop that made them popular. And with chart-friendly singles such as latest "Next Year", a warm welcome is guaranteed wherever they place their mic stands.
What are your songs about?
Mr Trimble: The songs are about anything that is relevant in our lives. On the first record there was a lot of naivety and excitement. We were young and we were about to embark on god knows what. The second record focuses on the reality of relationships with family and friends. It's a great life but you have to make a lot of sacrifices.
Have you consciously made accessible music?
Mr Trimble: It wasn't calculated. We had a good relationship with fans from an early point when we were doing clubs in Paris and Minneapolis. One thing we always loved was playing music that made people dance, so we let ourselves be carried into dance/pop music. Before, we were trying too hard to be different. Now we do really well in places such as America, Australia, Japan, Asia, Europe and Russia.
Do you enjoy being more mainstream?
Mr Baird: For one person, mainstream means lack of credibility, but for another it means success. And it's the same with the word "pop". We don't really think about it.
Mr Trimble: I think mainstream is positive, but also dangerous. You're under pressure to follow it up with a hit record. Our job is just to make music. We've built up interest from the world as a whole. It's our way of adapting to the music industry. We're not millionaires, but it helps us continue, and it feels amazing to spread the word.
Based on this year's BBC Sound Poll - which you were on in 2010 - is guitar music having a resurgence?
Mr Trimble: People are picking up on bands that are back to basics - music as it should be, perhaps. Giving bands such as Peace and Savages attention is great. Kids growing up now won't have grown up on some of the guitar music we might have - the likes of The Strokes and Nirvana are before their time - so it's good to expose them to that. It's good to have a band you feel a connection with.
How does your reception differ in various countries?
Mr Trimble: We've slipped into a more mainstream market in the UK as we're on the likes of Radio 1. But in Australia, we're only on alternative stations like Triple J. We're perceived as an underground band there and in the US. It's nice that we can be a successful pop band and go somewhere else and be a respected indie band.
How have you maintained consistent attention?
Mr Sam Halliday (guitarist): I think sometimes people know the music, but don't make the connection. That's down to having tracks play on TV and Radio 1. Our fan base is a bit younger, so they use the internet more. The first record didn't achieve mainstream success until a year after it was released. I think because people weren't told to like it they just shared it.
"Sleep Alone" Music Video
What do you guys get up to on tour?
Mr Baird: We always liked a drink, but not so much any more. Touring the first album, everything's new and exciting, but it gradually feels as if you're on the brink of destruction. It's like a whirlwind. As you get older being hung over all the time is an issue. You either calm down or you die.
How was working with French producer Mr Philippe Zdar?
Mr Trimble: We knew of Philippe through French connections in Kitsuné and through Phoenix. He's a genius - it's amazing to watch him work. He sits at his desk chain-smoking and doesn't talk. He's so precise.
Mr Baird: We didn't understand each other a lot of the time - France and Belfast don't necessarily mix - so it was interesting to let him get it from the music
What's your relationship with Kitsuné founder Mr Gildas Loaëc?
Mr Halliday: We knew about his output and he's a really passionate, funny guy, who was into the music. We never had an intention of signing a deal, just a single and doing the club nights, but it went that way.
His brand fuses style and music - do you care about that?
Mr Halliday: We weren't bothered at the beginning as we didn't have any money, but we're into it now. Kitsuné gives us some lovely clothes and it hooks us up with stylists. Luckily we love its clothes, so it works.
Two Door Cinema Club play Alexandra Palace in London on 27 April. See more tour dates here

Soccer Connects Us All
Monday, July 01, 2013
Susan Boyd
Okay, here's the first story. Last weekend we were in Minneapolis for a National Premier Soccer League game for Robbie. After his game, we were looking for a place to eat. Our choice was to go north on the freeway or south. I said, "Let's go south." Then I saw a sign for what I thought was a Joe's Crab Shack and started thinking steamed Dungeness crab. I also remembered years ago going with Shane's in-laws to a Joe's Crab Shack and realized these were one in the same. So we took the next exit, traveled to the road the restaurant was on and kept driving. It didn't take too long to figure out that the billboard had not been Joe's Crab Shack, but Joe Senser's Sports Theater, which had cruelly used the same font as Joe's Crab Shack and also moved into its location. Bummer. So we kept driving until we seemed to run out of developed areas and decided to turn around. Nothing had looked good. But in turning around we noticed this restaurant called "The Good Earth," which served all natural, local foods. So we figured we couldn't go wrong with natural. At the hostess desk, a young woman greeted us and asked if we had ever been there before. "No actually. We're from Milwaukee and found this just by chance." She smiled broadly, "I'm from Bayside." This is the community next to our suburb, so we thought that was really coincidental. But it gets better. As we were being taken to the table she asked why we were there and we said the NPSL game. "Oh, I played soccer." Turns out she played at the same club as our older son, she was a year behind him, and knew of him, many of his soccer buddies and his high school team. Then she remembered Robbie and the conversation expanded to what various players were doing, who she had lost touch with and how her college career had gone. It was amazing that a series of decisions, a serendipitous misreading of a billboard, and a choice to eat healthy led us to reconnect with one of the boys' former soccer chums. But it also shows how prevalent these connections are for our kids who have the opportunity to travel and compete in soccer.
Here's another story. We had gone to a tournament in the Tampa area. Since the airlines began charging a mortgage payment for every ounce of luggage you bring along, we didn't bring our soccer chairs as it was cheaper to buy new and then donate them to a local family. So I went to the Wal-Mart to purchase some chairs for the four-day tournament. I went straight to the camping/outdoor section and was greeted by a really nice young man who directed me to the chairs. Then he asked, "Are you here for the golf tournament?" My Wisconsin accent probably indicated that I wasn't from Florida and I was still a bit young to be a snowbird, although now that I think of it, asking if I was there for the golf probably had something to do with my age. Anyway, I answered, "No my son is playing in a soccer tournament." "Oh, where are you from?" "Wisconsin." "I used to play against a player from Wisconsin, but he played for a Chicago team." "Robbie is playing for the Chicago Magic, but he's guest playing this weekend for his old Milwaukee team." "Robbie…Robbie Boyd?" "Yes." "Oh, I know him really well." Then he started talking about playing against him in several leagues and tournaments. They had apparently become good friends and texted and emailed each other periodically. So I went back to the hotel, collected Robbie, and the two of them spent the young man's break at the snack bar reminiscing and having a really good time. The guy came to one of Robbie's games and they again had a good visit with several of Robbie's teammates along for the ride.
Third story. I was in the LA airport waiting for my flight back to Milwaukee. The flight was non-stop to Milwaukee, so the likelihood of meeting someone from our town was high, but it wasn't like that for this story. A young man was strolling through the waiting room, sat down near me and started staring. I wasn't sure if I should be flattered, wary or ignore it all. After a few long looks in my direction he got up and approached me. "Sorry to bother you, but are you Bryce Boyd's mom?" I wasn't sure how to answer, but he continued. "Last year, Bryce was a guest goalkeeper for our Atlanta team at the Disney Tournament." Robbie's Chicago Magic team was playing there, so Bryce had put himself on a list as available to play for any team that might need extra players. This Atlanta team asked him to join them for one game since their goalkeeper would be late arriving in Orlando due to high school finals. So this kid recognized me from that one game. Amazing. He had just come down from San Francisco, where my flight home originated, and was on his way back to Atlanta. We didn't have a lot to say to one another, but he had kind things to say about Bryce's skill in the net and how well he had fit in with the team. So that was really nice to hear. It was also another one of those delightful coincidences.
Have I lost you already, or are you up for two more stories? Here's one that concerns me. I was at a tournament with one of the boys or possibly both of them. I really don't remember. I just recall this gentleman coming up to me to ask if I was Susan Boyd. Apparently he was one of my blog readers (possibly the only one and if so, I'll just say hi). He wanted to thank me for the blogs and how useful they had been as he navigated the labyrinth of soccer rules, frustrations and triumphs. He certainly made my day. As a reader from a completely different geographic area, I felt a bit omnipotent in being able to reach across the miles. On the other hand, my kids do that fifty times a day through Facebook and Twitter, so I shouldn't get too full of myself. Still, knowing that someone likes what I do and takes the initiative to approach me gives me a small modicum of pleasure.
Finally…yes the last story. We were driving Robbie and his stuff cross-country to the University of California Santa Barbara for his freshman year. It was a crowded trip with lots of miles covered each day. We had made it to Omaha the night before and we were planning to stop west of Denver in Utah that night. We got to the Stapleton Airport exit at lunchtime, and we figured there should be several choices for restaurants. We decided on Chili's. As we started our lunch, a family walked in and was seated two booths behind us. After about 10 minutes we heard someone say, "Hey Robbie, Robbie Boyd." Robbie looked up, smiled and said, "Hey dude." He got up and walked over to their table. They had a long conversation until their order arrived, when Robbie returned to our table. "Did you play against that kid?" I asked. I assumed he played for Colorado Rapids Youth team or Colorado Rush. "No, that's Kevin from Marquette High." Turns out his family had a condo in Aspen, had just gotten off the plane and had stopped for lunch before driving west. So, someone from Milwaukee took a flight, arrived just at lunchtime, drove to the same collection of restaurants, and then chose the same restaurant we had after driving two days from Milwaukee to Denver. And the son played high school soccer at the same school Robbie attended. Kismet I guess.
The moral of these stories, if moral is the right word, seems to be that soccer isn't just a game, it's an experience that has tendrils curling out from our kids across the country to others who play soccer, connecting us. If you can afford it, and your kids have the desire to do it, encourage your soccer team to participate in nationwide tournaments or even joining a team that plays league games against teams from all over the U.S. Friendships grow from having soccer as a common base. Both Robbie and Bryce have played against kids that they run into in other soccer events, including tournaments, regional and national leagues, and college. They were lucky enough to attend a Jesuit high school that belongs to Jesuit HS league of four schools that rotated hosting a yearly competition. The schools were from Denver, Kansas City, Washington D.C., and Milwaukee. Their high school also traveled to at least one non-state tournament in places like Indianapolis and Sacramento. Those opportunities gave them the chance to play against some of the top college recruitment talent and to test their abilities. That was significant. But I think even more substantial were the connections and friendships that formed from a common respect for one another's talents. When I think of these stories that show out-of-the-blue run-ins, I think how many other connections we missed when the moments didn't intersect. If these few experiences are any indication, there have to have been dozens of others that were close but not close enough. I cherish these contacts because they are the ties that bind us all. As huge as America is, there's still an intimacy that allows us to have shared moments based on shared experiences. Some of these moments are with strangers as would be the case when we witness an event together, but some are with distant friends that we end up running into — making us all part of the soccer family.

So many, many thanks to all our loyal friends, family and customers. It has been quite a year! From magazine publications, TV interviews and film crews and debuts it's kept us hopping.
We have done a ton of weddings and all went well-oh, except for the restaurant downtown that LOST THE WEDDING CAKE. Yeah, that happened. They eventually found it and delivered it to the couple's hotel AFTER THE WEDDING.
We had a lot of fun rolling out custom coffee blends and lattes-till the shop was vandalized. That was no fun. Luckily, our friends at Astoria in Greensboro and our friends at Java Estate here in Hampstead were able to come to the rescue and save our espresso machine! Not so for the coffee bean grinder but you can't win 'em all!
We got goats and chickens and a new puppy this year-just so we were NEVER bored!
Logan started high school-crazy!
We partnered with some wonderful chefs and artisans here in our 120 mile radius to provide you guys with the best honey, jams, soaps, salsas and pickles and to in turn provide them with some pretty tasty treats for their establishments as well!
In a world that can seem overwhelming with the sadness and violence and strife, I continue to feel that providing a place for people to come for a smile and a bite of happiness is a good thing to do. There have been quite a few baffling moments this year and I can only take from them that it is truly important to spend huge amounts of time with your loved ones-whether they be biological family or family of your making-and appreciate the talents you have, the things you enjoy and the freedoms we have.
That being said, there will be changes at Sugar this 2013. Some of them effective immediately, others effective February 1. Our hours are changing-starting this week-we will no longer be open on Saturdays. You can still get orders on Saturday but we will schedule a pick-up time or provide delivery. Effective February 1, 2013, the hours of the shop will be 9:30-3:00 Monday thru Friday as we shift the focus more towards wholesale, special orders and special events. After two years, the pattern of our little shop has finally made itself clear and this is the most efficient way to do things while keeping my family happy!
Thanks to Meg Reid and Gaby Tallmadge for helping us through the fall and a super-special thanks to Anna Sutton who put up with me the mostest. Amongst ourselves we have called this year The Great Duh-pression for the amount for sheer stupidity levelled at us by criminals, wanna-be criminals, reckless drivers, crooked banks, litigious-losers and vindictive panhandlers. We survived it and what made it worthwhile were our favorite customers and friends.
Thanks again for all that you've done for us, for supporting a local business, local farmers and loving food! Happy, Happy New Year! We welcome the changes 2013 will bring and look forward to many new taste adventures!

However, for the blood bank - if you said "I can't donate now" I don't think they were out of line for asking for a bit more info. Maybe you're pregnant? Or you have a health concern such as anaemia? (I'm being hypothetical). They like to know these things, so that they can update their records and not keep calling you if there are issues such as these. <snip> I don't know exactly how blood banks work in the US (I'm in Canada) but I really can't imagine that they'd keep calling you if this was the case.
You were not rude to the woman on the phone. She was rude for asking another question after you had told her you needed to get off the phone.
What do you say when they say, "Why can't you .......?"
Just politely say no thankyou. They ask again and you say "I'm really not interested" They ask again you say "Good bye"I entered a competition, drawing date comes and I didn't win. About two weeks later they ring me up "you entered a competition, now you didn't win but we have a special offer for some of our entrants and we've picked you" At this point I interrupt and say "Nah not interested thanks" And she says "oh may I ask why not" and I said "no you may not" I then got an apology for her interrupting me and we mutually said goodbye.

Amber (Gramercy)
- Expired
- Gramercy
- Japanese, Sushi Bars
With creative twists on classic sushi rolls, Amber has shaken us from our tired old sushi routine. Try the Red Hot Dragon or the Sangria Crispy Duck and you'll never look at raw fish the same way again.If, like us, you know your order before you even walk in to any given sushi bar in New York, then you know that going out for the raw can get a little routine. Since we have decent Japanese spots on nearly every block, it's often difficult to find a reason to venture beyond one's own neighborhood for a quick sushi hit. Luckily, we happened upon Amber in Kips Bay recently, which ignited not only our sense of discovery in an uncharted 'hood, but also our sense of adventure in ordering. Since the day it opened, Amber has been winning hearts with its ultra-fresh and inventive special rolls, each of which deserves a slot in your regular sushi rotation. Try swapping out your favorite hand roll for a Red Hot Dragon (spicy crunchy tuna on top of a tuna avocado roll) or a Dragon's Bride (spicy shrimp tempura and cucumber roll topped with black & red caviar). Once you've picked the last piece off of your plate, you'll say goodbye forever to your old, standard sushi ways. If you're in the mood for something less raw, the menu also offers up an extensive list of dishes from its grill and wok, ranging from Sangria Crispy Duck to Filet Mignon in a black pepper sauce.
With an ultra luxe dining room that features a wall of mahjong tiles in the entryway and glass windows that open up onto the street for great people watching, Amber is our new go-to when we need to break with our old routines.
Menu Highlights:
Red Hot Dragon, $8
Dragon's Bride, $8
Sangria Crispy Duck, $18
Monday - Friday, 11:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.
Saturday & Sunday, noon to 11:30 p.m.

Submission + - SPAM: Contact Lens Displays: the iPhone of the future?
destinyland writes: "We already see a future in which the humble contact lens becomes a real platform, like the iPhone is today," argues researcher Babak Parvis, "with lots of developers contributing their ideas and inventions." He provides an update on the contact lens with transparent circuitry that's being developed at the University of Washington. (Its components will eventually include hundreds of LEDs which form images in front of the eye such as charts and photographs). They've already developed a lens-with-LED prototype that's powered by 330 microwatts of wireless radio-frequency power, and believe the lenses could also be used as biosensors to deliver body chemistry readings (including blood sugar levels). But "What we've done so far barely hints at what will soon be possible with this technology," says Dr. Parviz.

Hey Everyone!
Early today I asked on twitter what your favorite g-free bread was because I have only found one bread that was OK. I got a couple responses from people raving about this brand "Udi's". I went to Whole Foods and got it. I got the Whole Grain bread but they also had a White Sandwich bread. It was in the freezer section with the other G-Free stuff and when I got home it was room temperature. I took some out and tried it. Wow, this is the best gluten free bread I have had to date!Okay, it's only been 3 weeks but. . . still I have been through a good amount of bread and this really is the best bread I have had to date!
The bread has no back taste etc. like many other gluten-free breads. It is flexible and has little holes like real bread, you gluten-free eaters out there know how hard that is to find! My favorite advantage to this amazing bread is . . . . you DON'T have to toast it or microwave it to make it edible and it's not chewy!
Hope you guys enjoyed my review and stick around because there are more to come!
Come join me on twitter (click link)
Udi's website!
I am in high-school and was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in April of 2010. I hope to help others with gluten intolerance or celiac disease and recieve help from others as well!

Food Review: Udi's Gluten Free Bread
Labels: celiacs, gluten, gluten free
2 comments:
i have yet to try that brand - i myself am a huge fan of Kinnikinnick and a local company here . glad you found one you like :)ReplyDelete
Devan, you are missing out! I tried Kinnikinnick and it was all right. Then I tried Udi's and was blown away by its awesomeness! But if Kinnikinnick is local, you probably get it a lot fresher than we do where I live. :)ReplyDelete
Please comment and let me know your experiences and what you think of each post! I am still learning everyday so if you have suggestions etc please,please let me know! Have a great day!
