This wall hanging is made using a linen tea towel as the centerpiece. I framed it with a lovely brown/black batik and added appliqued dog biscuits. I used the same machine the trapunto technique I used on the African whole cloth quilt to help add a little 3-D effect to the puppies.
Here is the finished quilt. It measures 25 in X 33 in. It is machine pieced, appliqued, and quilted.
Here is a close up to show the one dog looking forward.
This one show more of the border detail.
Here is the back which is brown/white print. I'll add a sleeve for hanging ease and a label, then I plan to donate it to the Humane Society of Pulaski County to be used in one of their fund-raiser silent auctions.

DENTON | One point separated the first- and second-place finishers Thursday during the annual Davidson County Schools Elementary Battle of the Books competition, signifying the hard work of students and their love for reading.
Davis-Townsend Elementary School came out on top with 93 points to become the 2013 champions at Denton Elementary School. Reeds Elementary School came in second with 92 points while Tyro Elementary School placed third with 85 points.
"I'm just very proud of them. They worked hard all year long," said Davis-Townsend coach and media coordinator Susie Wilcox.
Denton Elementary was filled with more than 200 parents, family members and friends in support of the 18 schools participating — Brier Creek, Churchland, Davis-Townsend, Denton, Fair Grove, Friedberg, Friendship, Hasty, Midway, Northwest, Pilot, Reeds, Silver Valley, Southmont, Southwood, Tyro, Wallburg and Welcome.
Close to 200 students took part in the festivities that encourage reading by exposing students to quality literature that represents a variety of literary styles and viewpoints. The competition also helps students improve their reading skills, mature in their choices of reading materials and acquire a broader knowledge base while also creating an interest and excitement for reading.
Due to the large number of students participating, two matches were held at the same time, one in the auditorium and the other in the gymnasium. Each school competed in eight rounds.
"Everybody did a great job," said Christine Hunt, the system's director of media services and instructional technology and the moderator. "We're proud of everybody. Thank you to all of the media coordinators. I'm excited for Davis-Townsend because they've never won before. All three of the teams received their highest rank ever. It was excellent."
The students were asked questions about different scenarios from the list of 17 books they had to read.
Teams received two points for answering with the correct title and a bonus point if they also gave the name of the author of the book. Teams could only earn two points for answering a question missed by the first team that received it.
"I'm excited and very happy," said fifth-grader Annie Giles.
Annie along with fifth-grader Frances Gray Riggs enjoy being on the team because they said it was fun. They both love books. Frances said some of the books on the list were hard while others were easy.
"It's the greatest feeling in the world to know we did our best and we won," Frances said.
Davis-Townsend received a winning plaque. Each student received a certificate for participating.
Other students on the winning team were Hylton Baker, Kate Casto and Ava Miller. The assistant coach was Janet Gray.
A lot of the team members were fifth-graders. They all had plans to continue participating in the competition at the middle school level.
"I just really love to read and compete. It was really fun," said fifth-grader Sarah McMath.

Mod Mosaic block for Brooke
Still going:
Patchwork Wheel scrappy blocks - Up to three blocks now! Still a bazillion to go if I want to make this big enough to fit on my bed eventually, but there's no rush here at all. Just having fun with it :)
NY Beauty mini - Still auditioning borders. I busted out a pack of Thangles I got for my birthday and used them to create a zillion 3/4" HSTs. Not really a zillion, just 160 of them because when I counted how many each strip made, I was apparently suffering from some serious brain fog...rather than each strip making 5 HSTs (by my count), they made 10. So I wound up with twice as many as I wanted, but that's okay. I'll find a way to put them to use. Anyway, I laid out the HSTs in a flying geese-like formation, and I think I might just be digging it. We'll see, I'm going to leave this up until after I get back from my vacation next week and see what I think then.
My Precious QAL pillow - A while back, Tamiko posted a gorgeous simple paper piecing pattern on her blog that she used to make a beautiful pillow in the Pillow Talk Swap. I pinned it, and thought about using it as a bee block, but I just didn't think I had enough super special awesome fabrics to use in the center of the blocks. Lo and behold, Tamiko sent me a gorgeous little scrap bundle from her very own stash (thank you!!!) and when I saw Kelly starting up the My Precious QAL, for all of us fabric hoarders, I knew it was time to make myself a little something with the fabric Tamiko sent as well as my own hoarded stash. I've made three of these little blocks so far, and anticipate making at least another 6, if not more. I'm having a lot of fun so far, taking a scrappy approach to the blocks.

I just got back from the SHARE conference in San Jose, and if you have never been, I would suggest you should try to go to this event. It's a great way to keep up with what is going on in the mainframe world. There are technical sessions on every subject you could imagine--zAAPs and zIIPs: Understanding the Basics, What's New in Enterprise COBOL Version 4, The Linux IPL Procedure, Mainframe Operating System Boot Camp, and Mainframe to Mobile: Push and Pull Data to Wireless Devices, to name a few of the ones I dropped in on. You get to see the latest solutions, applications, and mainframe-related products on the show floor. There are the large sessions, meals, and social events.
Mostly, you just get to hang out with lots of people from the mainframe world. If you're at all like me, you can be pretty heads down just geting stuff done, doing your regular job. When I get out to things like SHARE, the thing I really enjoy is finding out how much is really going on out there, how many creative, interesting things are happening on the mainframe, and how much energy there is to keep this a vital, strong, innovative part of the IT industry.
For example, I sat down over lunch at a nice Italian place called Il Fornaio in the historic St. Claire Hotel with the editors of IBM Systems Magazine, Mainframe Edition. They told me all about the work they're doing with authors from universities who are so into some of the latest System z technologies they can't wait to write new articles about them. I can't tell you about them -- that would be giving away their secrets. But check out the magazine and you will see what I mean.
Of course, the event did have a downside--my hotel room looked right out over the local trolley system, which gets going on the dot at 5:05 every morning. Oh well, at least I got off to an early start every day.
Anyway, I will write more about some of the things I came across at SHARE. If you were there, respond to this and let me know what you found there, or just say hi.
In the meantime, go have a look at the SHARE web site and look at the conference proceedings. You can get a pretty good sense of what you can learn there. And check out the next event, which is going to be held March 1-6 right here in my home town, Austin, Texas. And, don't worry, we don't even have a trolley system so if you need to, you can sleep in.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Former and future Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman on Monday said there was little-to-no hope that any significant progress would be made in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process in the near future, despite the high-profile appointment of Tzipi Livni as the new minister in charge of negotiations.
Speaking at an event marking the formation of Israel's new government, Lieberman said, "The Palestinian issue has not progressed in the past four years, and it will not progress in the next four years either."
Incoming Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon stressed that the reason for this lack of progress is Palestinian intransigence.
"We are prepared to talk and hold negotiations [with the Palestinians] without any preconditions," Danon told The Times of Israel. "But in the government there are many who believe that there is no one on the other side who is interested in advancing the peace process."
Both Lieberman and Danon said they would not allow false hopes of a breakthrough prevent Jews from building in their ancestral lands of Judea and Samaria, and therefore would fight any settlement freeze pushed by Livni.
A poll conducted by the Washington Post and ABC News revealed that the vast majority of Americans (69%) also have little hope in the peace process, and want Washington to stop meddling in the matter.

Health Day reported on the study:
"Brain insulin may act as a satiety signal during the postprandial period and is associated with decreased appetite and reduced intake of highly palatable food, according to a study published online Feb. 16 in Diabetes.
Manfred Hallschmid, Ph.D., from the University of Lübeck in Germany, and colleagues investigated the role of brain insulin signaling in the control of food intake. In two groups of healthy women, 160 IU insulin or vehicle were administered after lunch, and two hours later, the consumption of cookies of varying palatability was evaluated under the pretext of a taste test. Intranasal insulin was administered to fasted females as a control study.
The researchers found that, compared with placebo, insulin administration in the postprandial state, but not in the fasted state, decreased appetite along with intake and rated palatability of the most palatable snack offered. Intranasal insulin administration was associated with a small decrease in plasma glucose, but no effect on serum insulin concentration was seen.
"Postprandially administered intranasal insulin enhances the satiating effect of meals and reduces palatable snack intake, suggesting that insulin acts as a relevant signal in the short-term regulation of satiety in humans," the authors write. "Considering that the rewarding effect of palatable food overriding the homeostatic control of energy intake may promote obesity, insulin's potential to curb the appetite for hedonically salient, calorie-rich food deserves particular attention."This study suggests that building meals around low-energy density foods that significantly raise insulin levels, such as potatoes, rice, and the like, could curb appetite for highly palatable snacks.
It also suggests inversely that eating meals that minimize insulin release might result in less post-meal satiety and increased appetite for snacks.
Perhaps this provides partial explanation for the low prevalence of obesity in nations like Japan, where the cuisine revolves around a highly insulinogenic starch like white rice.

Sean O'Brien is the type of tenant who works hard to make his home feel like his own. When he found his latest apartment in Verdun, there were plenty of fixer-upper opportunities, so he grabbed the bull by the horns to make his small kitchen match his cooking needs. Also a professional musician, his home needed to have a room where he could bask in the oasis his collection of instruments provided, and still have another place for downtime. That's a tall order, but he has made his home adapt to his needs and the result is small but beautiful.
Tell us about your music room?
My music room is my sanctuary, and it's right next to my bedroom, which is just separated by a curtain, so I don't have to go far to practice. I place my instruments on specially designed holders to make them more accessible. They only go in their case when I transport them.
(O'Brien also composes and arranges music for ensembles and orchestras - something made easy by having his instruments close at hand and a piano nearby to test out his new tunes. The plants and large window help him stay motivated; a welcome change from his first apartment arrangement when his music room was in what is now the guest/entertainment room, which was windowless.
He also teaches in his studio, and regularly has students in his apartment for piano or violin lessons. His electric piano has the advantage of volume reduction, so that he can accept students day or night without disturbing the neighbours.)
This sitting room used to be your music room. What happens in here now that you've moved things around?
My music room used to be here, but the space is really confined, and I found, much better suited as a waiting room for parents when their kids come over for a music lesson.
(The lack of windows was really un-motivating, even though there are nice glass French doors.)
It's a great place for guests, too, who can stay over on the pull-out sofa, and the gaming consoles are there if the mood strikes.
(O'Brien's brother particularly enjoys this room. Being a fan of video games, he visits often.)
He can play to his heart's content. He's not bored, and I'm not distracted.
(The tall shelving unit in the corner of the room holds travelling mementos from Germany and South America, where O'Brien studied and taught music. There is also a large box he made to hold crafting materials.)
I make my own oboe reeds, and coming in this room to make them really helps me focus. I keep them in this wooden box, and then I zip back to my studio across the hall.
Your kitchen has quite a few innovative space-saving pieces. What can you say about them?
I love to cook, but this kitchen really had no space when I moved in. There were no cabinets, no space for the table I had in my previous apartment - I really had to be creative to make this space work for me.
(O'Brien installed extra shelving above and to the right of his kitchen sink. He also installed extra lighting, hanging baskets that he used to hang wine glasses, and a taller unit above the sink to store bottles and dry dishes. He made his kitchen table from an old butcher counter.)
I washed and treated it with turpentine and linseed oil, cut it so it would fit the dimensions of my kitchen with tools my landlord loaned me, and bought legs to make a bar-like table that would fit high chairs.
(He now hosts dinner parties and has places for guests to put down their plates and drinks.)
The dishwasher also fit perfectly at the end of my counter. I fitted a cutting block, and it provides much needed extra counter space, This also helped resolve the space issue in the kitchen.

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2009 Media Releases
Mayor Chris Beutler invites the public to the dedication of the North 27th Street Bridge and Mopac West Trail Sunday, June 28. Donors will be recognized at the ceremony at 9:15 a.m. on the west side of the bridge near 26th and "Y" streets. Parking is available in the Peoples Health Center parking lot. The dedication is being held in conjunction with the annual Trail Trek event.
The Mopac Trail had stopped at 30th and "X" streets, and the City's acquisition of the abandoned railroad corridor made it possible to complete the trail, connecting it to 19th and Vine streets. The bridge and trail provide the final link in the Mopac Trail connecting it with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln downtown campus and the Antelope Valley trail system. The Mopac Trail also is a vial link in the Quad States Trails network.
The cost of Mopac West was $240,550, and funding came from federal enhancement funds and matching funds from the Great Plains Trails Network (GPTN). The cost of the North 27th Street Bridge is about $1.9 million. It was funded with a federal enhancement grant for $500,000, donations from GPTN totaling $125,000 and tax increment financing.
More information on the City's trails system is available at parks.lincoln.ne.gov. Information on Trail Trek is available at journalstar.com.

My friend and flatmate in my 4th year of university was a geology student. His department had given him some tickets for a dinner and lecture on geology at some geological club in Toronto. Always interested to learn about something I know absolutely nothing about, I jumped at the chance to go.
The keynote speaker raved about how gold was foolishly cheap, and should have been twice the price that it was. It was an interesting talk, and had I listened to that geologist, I would have made out all right (not accounting for inflation or exchange rates). Take a look at this. It was 1999, and gold was about $250 an ounce.
I have never pretended to understand our infatuation with gold. I understand it now to be another currency, yes, but what makes it desirable?
Gold has a long history of being something we associate with wealth. Empires in Mexico, India, Europe and others… they have all sought after it. It's history is nearly as interesting as that of salt.
To tell you the truth, I don't even like gold really. Sure, I would like to own a bar to use as a doorstop or a wafer to use as a paperweight, but that would just be to be eccentric. Gold jewelery has always seemed Gaudy to me. My wife's engagement ring, and our wedding bands are platinum. Simple. Stylish. Hard.
Yet gold keeps moving higher, and recently some things have happened that make me wonder if it's possibly on its way back down.
I've lived here in Japan for 9 years, and starting last year a commercial started running that made me cringe. The commercial is selling a class and system to trade and make money from gold. The people in the commercial look very happy after walking out of the class, and then it cuts to them in front of a computer screen in their living room, smiling as they (I assume) buy and sell gold futures.
(This seems to have replaced a similar commercial that used to run, which promised to teach you how to make money in the F/X market.)
But the real reason I will continue to stay away from gold came last evening when a door-to-door gold buyer showed up at my door.
He was wearing a yellow jacket, and asked if I had any gold I wanted to sell. I said no, and he took a step to try to stop me from closing the door. He showed me a flier with various examples of gold jewelry and asked "Don't you have anything like this that you want to sell?" I said no, and he asked again if I didn't have anything like it in the house, to which I answered "I'm poor. I have no jewelry."
Aside from the fact that I wouldn't tell a complete stranger if I had jewelry in the house or not, the concept of door-to-door gold buying floored me. Has it come to the frenzy that pawn shops are willing to send a workforce out into the community in search of gold?
That tells me something. It tells me that pawn shops believe that gold will continue to increase, so they are willing to go out to buy gold at today's price with the expectation that they will be able to sell it even higher next week or next month.
And that tells me something else. If there are commercials advertising how you can make money in gold, and pawn shop dealers showing up at my door, well, to me that's about the same as a shoe-shine boy telling me to buy stocks. It's advice that stinks, and will leave you with a headache if you stick around too long.

Even though the real car won't go on sale until 2015, the next-generation Acura NSX will be included as a playable car in PlayStation 3-only versions of Gran Turismo 6.
Back when the original Acura NSX concept debuted at the 2012 Detroit auto show nearly two years ago, there was a ton of buzz surrounding the reveal of the hybrid supercar. For eager NSX fanboys, the inclusion of the Acura NSX concept as a playable car in Gran Turismo 5 was a welcome gift considering the car's projected 2015 launch date. With Gran Turismo 6 available worldwide today, the NSX concept is a gift that just keeps on giving.
"The wait is over for NSX fans eager to get behind the wheel of the next Acura supercar, and they can rest assured the actual production car will be even more amazing than the in-game concept version," said Honda's U.S. senior vice president of auto operations Mike Accavitti.
The NSX concept is one of the most highly-anticipatedcars on the horizon, employing an innovative hybrid powertrain that Acura claims will offer "the excitement of the [Ferrari] 458 at the price of the [Porsche] 911."
As we previously reported, the engine expected for the 2015 Acura NSX is a high-output twin-turbocharged version of the 3.5-liter V-6 currently at work in the Acura RLX. With that mid-engine V-6 engine powering the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and dual electric motors moving the front wheels, engineer Ted Klaus has promised a highly engaging and driver-centric all-wheel-drive experience. Like the original NSX, we don't foresee the new supercar breaking any horsepower or 0-60-mph records, but instead achieving the ever-elusive directness and sheer driving pleasure that can't exactly be measured by a radar gun.
The NSX will be built at Honda's Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio, and will be followed by a convertible version a couple of years after the coupe arrives in 2015.
This is not the first time Gran Turismo has included a playable but not-yet-in-production car in its driving simulation games. The Chevrolet Corvette C7 prototype was included as a downloadable DLC in Gran Turismo 5, and the stunning Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo concept seen at the 2013 Los Angeles auto show will join the NSX in Gran Turismo 6.
Be sure to check back during the 2014 Detroit auto show in January for more details and photos of the 2015 Acura NSX, and let us know in the comments how the virtual concept drives in Gran Turismo 6.

Optional and nice to have items should not be included in this list.
Release Requirements:
- No open bugs blocking the Beta tracker
- All of the tests in the Fedora 13 Beta Media Install test plan must be 100% executed
- All tests in the Fedora 13 Beta Install Release test plan must be 100% executed
- All tests in the Fedora 13 Beta Functional Release test plan must be 100% executed
- The installed system boots and starts up properly
- The installed system is able to download updates with yum.
- No file conflicts during install
- Installer boots and runs on all primary architectures: i686 and x86_64
- The QA team has an installable testable Release Candidate for at least two full days (48 hours).
Beta Blocker Bugs
A bug is considered an Beta blocker bug if any of the following criteria are met:
- A bug in a Critical Path (see http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/mash/rawhide-20091201/logs/critpath.txt) package that:
- Cannot be fixed with a future rawhide update
- Has a severity rating of high or greater and no reasonable workaround
- Bug hinders execution of required Beta testplans or dramatically reduces test coverage
- Bug relates to an unmet Beta Release Requirement (see above)
Contingency Plan
- If all of the Beta Release Requirements are not met by 20:00 UTC on the Wednesday one week prior to release day, the release will be delayed by one week so that the Beta Release Requirements can be met. One week will be added to all remaining tasks in the release schedule, including the final release date.
- * This decision will be made at the Go/No-Go Meeting
Confirming Beta Requirements
QA has the responsibility of determining whether the criteria for the release has been met (as outlined above) through discussion with Development and Release Engineering. QA's findings will be reviewed and discussed at the Go/No-Go meeting.

This time of year I am full of inspiration for garden projects. I know I have to edit and prioritize, but it is fun to be full of ideas. Here are some changes (I hope) you will see this year at Ormsby Hill.
The patio is getting two more sets of Adirondack rocking chairs, along with pots filled with edibles like mini tomatoes and strawberries. New perennials will border the patio, including a few new varieties, like the 'Oso Happy Smoothie' thorn-less rose.
Our labyrinth is in year two of its existence. Jimmy Colvin worked his magic getting the field ready for the wildflower seed, which will transform this unused space into a tranquil spot for serenity and contemplation.
We love the outdoor spaces at Ormsby Hill, and hope you will find a spot to call your own while you are here.

Artist's description:
Tree Friendship, taken from a series of conceptual topiary tree images expressing human emotions. (Ltd Edition of only 20) Giclee print from an original digital painting and illustration.
Many of my mixed media images start out life as watercolour / gouache paintings and / or charcoal / pencil drawings and gradually evolve through a variety of digital painting and illustration processes. Since my "originals" vary considerably from the finished printed product, I only ever sell exclusive small run (10's & 20's) Ltd Edition prints of my imagery here - and consider these to be my "finished artwork".
Since I monitor all aspects of the output - in partnership with my local fine art printer - you can be guaranteed of the very highest quality finish, using longevity ink and premium heavyweight paper, as well as a cast iron assurance that no further Ltd Editions will be printed other than the two sizes ( medium size shown here in 20's, or the larger 94 x 62cm's size available in editions of 10 by request* I have listed a handful of larger prints... message me - or use the "make me an offer" button on one of these listings and simply give me the title of the alternative image you are looking for. I will respond with a price and delivery timescale for you to consider at your leisure.) Ltd editions are signed, titled and numbered on the front - I will always forward the earliest available editions first - I never hold back early editions.
Postage is within 10 working days of payment, however - in most cases - I will post out much faster than this. I pack carefully rolled, bubble-wrapped, inside large diameter toughened cardboard tubes, to ensure prints reach you in excellent condition and "always" post recorded delivery to ensure a speedy safe transit. I will notify you of the tracking ref as soon as your item is posted.
Please feel free to message me for any further information. I am always happy to discuss my work. If you love my work but really can't afford the asking price, feel free to use the "make an offer" button. I promise to give "all" offers my serious consideration - I want my work to be enjoyed and there's no greater buzz for an artist than knowing someone loves your work enough to live with it in their home or workplace!
Thanks for looking. Have an inspiring day!
Andrew :-)

2001 Ford Escape ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Best-in-class handling, performance and refinement.
If high cost, big size and poor handling have held you back from buying a sport-utility vehicle, then you may find the new Ford Escape appealing. At least that's Ford's thinking and we believe they are right on track.
A completely new vehicle, the Ford Escape offers agile handling on both paved and unpaved roads. It rides smoothly and gets strong acceleration performance from an optional V6. The Escape seats four people comfortably, and folding down the rear seats reveals a flat, moderately sized cargo area. Best of all, its price is relatively low. Ford Escape and the nearly identical Mazda Tribute may be the best small sport-utility vehicles sold today.
Two models are available, XLS ($17,645) and XLT ($19,195). Each offers a choice of front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive; four-wheel drive adds $1625 to the price. All come standard with Ford's four-cylinder Zetec engine. An additional $1400 buys the optional 3.0-liter V6.
Escape XLS comes with a high level of standard equipment, including air conditioning, power windows and an AM/FM/CD stereo. XLT adds ABS, cruise control, map lights, a cassette player, a rear auxiliary power outlet, better seats and aluminum wheels instead of steel ones. Four-wheel-drive XLT models also get Ford's fully automatic Control Trac II system with a lockable center differential. An Escape loaded with leather, V6 and six-disc in-dash CD goes for less than $25,000.
The Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute are the first two vehicle that the two companies developed jointly through the entire research and development phase.
Ford designers worked to achieve a balance between the SUV's image of confidence, ruggedness and versatility with an image of agility and fun. Its forward-poised stance, large wheel lips, wide body cladding and an integrated bumper guard give a functional look. The Escape is wider than other SUVs, which gives it an aggressive look. Short front and rear overhangs add more to the sports appeal. The Escape looks bolder and more aggressive than the Honda CR-V, which looks dainty and dated by comparison. Styling makes the Escape look like it came from the same family as the Ford Explorer and Expedition.
Being able to see the leading edge of the hood from the driver's seat makes the Escape easier to maneuver in tight places, whether you're deep in the woods or (more likely) in a tight big-city garage. If you are deep in the woods, its 8.5 inches of ground clearance may help clear obstacles. Outside door handles are easy to grab and feel like they're going to last.
Accessories from Ford Outfitters include a snap-in pet barrier and a system to haul two mountain bikes in the cargo area. Bike racks can also be mounted on the roof; the standard roof rack with crossbars holds up to 100 pounds. We don't like the idea of getting vehicles with tall ground clearances then bolting running boards on them. Ford says it designed the running boards on the Escape so that they do not lower the ground clearance. They are expected to be popular on the Escape and are designed to make it easier to install kayaks, snowboards and other toys on the roof rack. Likewise, the rear bumper was designed to aid roof access.
Ford claims the Escape is the most spacious of the small SUVs (at 133.9 cubic feet). The rear cargo area offers 63.3 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded down, making it just the thing for a day of antiquing. With the split 60/40 rear seats folded up to accommodate up to five passengers it provides 33.0 cubic feet. Entering and exiting the vehicle is aided by a low doorsill height and wide door openings.
Front-seat roominess is similar to that of the Explorer. Rear seats offer more knee room that what is found in the Honda CR-V. White-faced instruments, in vogue these days, are in a straightforward instrument panel. Side airbags are optional.
The audio system and heating, ventilation and air conditioning controls in the center stack are angled slightly toward the driver to ease reach while driving. Ford engineers say they tested the placement of the controls by using blindfolded occupants. In-dash single CD player is standard; a 300-watt, six-disc, in-dash CD player is available.
Driving Impression
Sport-utility vehicles are not sports cars. In spite of that, California's twisting Highway 1 is an enjoyable drive in the Escape. Handling response is relatively taut without that mushiness that characterizes SUVs with big off-road tires and long-travel suspensions. On muddy fire roads pocked with puddles and potholes, the Escape is a blast.
Steering is responsive. It feels direct and accurate without a big dead spot in the center. There's enough feeling in the steering to impart a sense of control. Though this is not a sports car, the tires provide respectable grip in paved corners. When pushed beyond their limits, the front tires start slipping before the rear tires. just like most front-wheel-drive sedans. Called understeer, this means the Escape will describe a wider and wider arc through a corner as it is driven harder into a turn. So it's expected and predictable. Simply back off the throttle and it tightens its line. The Escape provides surprisingly good transient response in a series of left-right-left corners. This permits quick, yet smooth, driving. Two passengers never paused in an in-depth marketing discussion despite the fact that we were escaping at a brisk pace down Highway 1.
The optional V6 engine delivers good acceleration performance. While there's no such thing as too much power, I never felt lacking in the Escape. The engine and four-speed automatic communicate work well together. The transmission shifts smoothly up and down appropriately for the situation and the engine's broad power band never lugs or strains. It isn't the smoothest V6 on the market, nor is it the roughest. But it is smoother and more satisfying than the four-cylinder engines found on most small sport-utilities. (We have not yet had the opportunity to test drive a four-cylinder model.)
The brakes are smooth and responsive. The optional anti-lock brakes (ABS) come into play just when expected and are detectable by the familiar pulsating sensation. ABS lengthens braking distances on wet, slimy clay, however, so I found it difficult to slow the vehicle in time for tight switchbacks on the unpaved roads. (This is no different than any other SUV with ABS.).
With the optional V6 engine, the Ford Escape offers the most power in its category. A four-wheel independent suspension and unitbody construction makes it handle almost as well as a car. A car-like ride makes it easy to live with. Overall, we feel the Escape is the best SUV in its class.

Listening to the advice from different hair stylists, they all appear to agree on one thing–heat is not good for hair. Still, I'm not giving up my styling tools. Although I've invested in a dryer, hot roller set, and the like that promise the gentlest forms of heat, I've also begun to explore leave-in products to ensure my hair is as protected as possible.
My favorite of the ones that I tried is the Kerastase Chroma Thermique ($48/5.1 oz.). Although designed for color treated hair, I have friends who have recommended it that have never had their hair colored (one, in fact, uses it on her 10-year-old daughter). It's because this leaves your hair all kinds of awesome, and you do not need color-treated hair to get those benefits. This leave-in treatment softens, protects, and conditions hair. Kerastase Chroma Thermique's beneficial properties are heat-activated (smart!). In fact, it's accompanying literature claims that the beneficial properties are five times more effective when used with heat.
This was immediately transformative, giving me far more manageable, softer, conditioned and shiny hair.
For me, Kerastase's claims for the products all seemed to be present and accounted for:
Protects hair from the stress of heat styling tools
Adds brilliance and mirror-like shine
Smooths the hair fiber
Improves hair drying time and straightening performance
Nourishes, softens and moisturizes hair
Keeps hair color vibrant with UV protection
This does not weigh my hair down at all, and the effect lasted all day and through the next. Gorgeous product. Ingredient list:
I love this product and never want to be without it.
It comes in a large five-ounce container, although the company sells a mini-sized for $18 if you'd like to try it with a smaller investment. I found mine at a spa, but then I ordered a second when Kerastase had a free-ship deal around the holiday (register for their website to learn about their occasional promotions).
The second product that I loved was Alterna's Bamboo Anti-Breakage Thermal Protectant ($25/4.2 oz.). I should add that I have liked a few of Alterna's products, I believe that they offer good results for the price. This is a spray leave-in product, my pump was a little wonky at first but now it seems to be working smoothly. The ingredient list is here.
According to the company, Alterna's Anti-Breakage protection offers protection of up to 428 degrees (my, that's precise!). I can confirm that, at least for me, Alterna is right to claim that the product "works to detangle, soften, and create a protective moisturizing barrier around the hair's outer layer, eliminating dryness and brittleness while naturally increasing its strength and elasticity." My hair looked very healthy and soft, and it really volumized my hair to a noticeable degree. Comparing this to the Kerastase Chroma Thermique, the Kerastase left my hair noticeably smoother and shinier. With Alterna's Anti-Breakage, I had to add an additional product to smooth my hair and to add shine. Also, Alterna's Anti Breakage added volume, but unsurprisingly the volumizing effect did not last overnight.
Finally, I've been using Alterna's Caviar CC Cream ($25/2.5 oz.) for the past several months. This leave in cream promises ten different benefits: moisture, shine, smoothness, softness, anti-breakage, heat protection, light hold, UV protection, manageability, and strength. Whew!
I've been using this mostly for its heat protective properties. It does make my hair look and feel very nice, and it's a good all-in-one product that also works well as a leave-in-conditioner. Compared to the Kerastase, my sense is that if your hair is already healthy and shiny, this is a great product to keep it that way. If you need the big guns to transform your hair into the other-worldly shampoo-commercial condition, I'd go with the Kerastase. On the price/volume ratio, the products are about even.
The Alterna is nice for travel as well, as the slim little tube goes easily into a overstuffed suitcase. If you've tried any thermal protectors, I'd love to hear about your experiences in the comments!

Who: Diane Kruger
Where: At Jacob & Co's charity gala held at the Salle Empire, Hotel de Paris in Monte-Carlo, Monaco
Wearing: A white column Marchesa gown featuring feathers on the sleeves and waist and gold embroidery embellishments to the bust from the Resort 2013 collection, teamed with Jacob & Co. diamond drop earrings, a cushion cut diamond ring and diamond cuff bracelet
Verdict: Wow, what a beauty Diane Kruger is, my crush is going into serious overdrive after seeing this look. I think if you saw this dress on anyone else with all those feathers it might have been a touch OTT, but on Diane this show-stopping gorgeous gown just looks perfection.
I love that the fact that she wore her hair pulled tightly up, it allowed the dress to shine as well as those incredible drop earrings.
I am in love with this look – what do you think does Diane pull off this gorgeous Marchesa gown?

For immediate release – 3/2/2013 - #273
#3 LC Men's Lacrosse Topples #5 Cabrini 11-9
LYNCHBURG, VA – The third-ranked Lynchburg College men's lacrosse team opened up an early 6-2 lead and held on for an 11-9 win over #5 Cabrini College in non-conference action from Shellenberger Field Saturday.
Senior Vin Curran scored twice in the first period as Lynchburg took a 6-2 lead. The Cavaliers scored two times to open the second period before the Hornets answered with two scores. Cabrini scored three-straight times to cut the lead to 8-7, but Curran scored before intermission to open the lead to two.
After a high-scoring first half, there were just four second half goals between both teams. Senior Pat Ohrem scored an early goal in the third, but Ethan Heisman found the back of the net for Cabrini to make it 10-8. Curran opened the fourth period with an unassisted tally, and the LC defense was strong down the stretch, allowing just one goal the rest of the way. The Cavaliers out-shot LC 30-13 in the second half, but Lynchburg allowed just two goals in the final 30 minutes.
Curran posted four goals, two fired from over his back shoulder and into the net. Ohrem had three goals, and Derek Sweet had a goal and an assist. Max Voumard, Jay Goldsmith and Campbell Armstrong also scored for LC.
Anthony DiSanzo and Corey Elmer each scored three times for Cabrini (1-2). Mike Leyden had a goal and an assist and keeper Erick Zarzecki made 11 saves. Hornet net-minder Adam Davey made 19 saves for the victors. Anthony DiNenno won 15 of his 24 face-off opportunities for Cabrini.
Lynchburg (3-0) hosts Marywood University (PA) Wednesday evening at 7 p.m.

Quote of the Day.
Minds are like parachutes...they only function when open.
Thomas Dewar
The oil complex is starting the day with small gains ahead of this morning's EIA oil inventory report as the market digests the recently released IEA Monthly Oil report (see below for more details). The EIA and OPEC both increased their projection for global oil demand growth versus last month's reports with the IEA surprising the market by decreasing their forecast vs. last month. It shows a bit of disagreement as to the extent of what many are suggesting is a turning of the corner to a faster growth pattern for the global economy. The IEA report is mildly bearish for oil while the EIA and OPEC reports were mildly bullish. Thus on average I would have to say a neutral round for the monthly projections. Next on the docket is the weekly oil inventory report this morning.
Equity markets have continued to recover some of last week's losses as shown in the EMI Global Equity Index table below. The Index is higher by about 0.2% for the week with the year to date gain standing at 0.9%. Not a strong rebound this week as trading activity in most global markets has been somewhat muted due to a lack of fresh economic data and limited activity in Asia due to the Lunar New Year holiday closures. Global equities have been a neutral price driver for the oil complex so far this week.
