Postgame quotes after the Revs fell to the NY Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena
On the match:
"We could've killed the game with Conor Chinn. Conor Chinn had three opportunities to score, with that it probably could have been two or three-zero by halftime but nothing really happened in the passing game. Too many unforced errors but in the second half, much, much more service and good possession. That helped to control the game."
On Jeremy Hall:
"Jeremy needs more games to play in the one position. He still has to take them on more 1 v 1. He is making too many support passes when he can turn with the ball and be more of a wing player, but playing that many games as a fullback, I think he definitely needs more time to become more of an attacking wide player."
On Brian Nielsen and Sinisa Ubiparipovic:
Yea, I think Brian is showing about his pace, his technique is good, he has a very good strike, and I think he will just improve game-by-game that's for sure. Sinisa, he's a great midfield player, an attacking one, I think it was important for him to score a goal today. He needed that confidence for the next couple of games. I still think he can play in a wide position. In a way, the two midfield players controlled the game."
On the attacking game:
"I wish when we start to build up when we pass the midfield and run back to the same space and you lose 15-20 yards all the time, you are no threat in a way when you play like that. It's too many side passes and too many support passes you have to turn with the ball back and we have to attack much, much more when we have the possibilities, otherwise we just slowed the game down."
On his performance:
"It feels really good. Obviously the biggest thing is that we won, and we advanced in the Open Cup, that's great for us. We're a team that has high aspirations this year and we're going to compete in every competition that we're in, so that's first and foremost. I'm glad I got a chance to run around and make some plays. It definitely wasn't my best performance, but I'll take it. I still have a little fitness to work on, but overall, definitely a good step in the right direction."
On getting a chance to play:
"Sometimes it's tough when you don't get a lot of time. But it's a competitive team. We have a lot of great guys on this team. My opportunities to play might be limited, so I have to make sure I make the best of them when I can."
On his fitness:
"I think I still have a little ways to go. I've yet to play 90 (minutes) so that's obviously a real match. It's going to be a couple of more games before I really feel fit, like I know I can be fit. Whether it's serviceable now, it may be, but I know I have a little bit more, a higher level to get to, in terms of fitness."
On if he's ready for league action going forward:
"Whatever's needed of me. We have to bounce back after a rough one at San Jose, and if we need some extra bodies to come in and help out, I'm ready."
On his comeback from injury:
"It's been a long time. I basically rehabbed for a year, and had a couple surgeries, and did another 3-4 moths of intensive rehab. So I've been going at it for long time, so it's kind of a reward for the hard work. That's kind of what this games about, so it's nice to get out there and play finally."
On the victory:
"I think everybody came out from the get-go and came out with the right attitude, we all played hard, played for each other. We knew if we did that the result would come."
On his goal:
"I talked to Brian (Nielsen). The one previous free kick I had from a similar position, I took it and it wasn't good enough. I told him maybe he can play me in, to take a shot. I've been practicing them in training and doing them well, so I thought I'd give it a shot, and luckily it went in."
On the team trying to compete in multiple competitions:
"Any club has to look at the Open Cup as an opportunity to play more games and to win another cup. We have a lot of games in the next three or four weeks, and I think we have a lot of guys that are in good form and are ready to play whether it's in the league or in the cup."
On his fitness:
"I feel pretty good. After 90 minutes I'm going to be a little more sore than I should be. But I think just keep training, one or two more games, and I'm there. Now it's just trying to get rid of the soreness of playing 90 minutes, but I feel good."
On players making contributions during the Open Cup:
"It's what it's all about. Especially for guys like me, coming off an injury. And the young guys, getting an opportunity to play a game, and you have to prove yourself. I think we have a great squad this year because we're deep, and we can have guys come in and out. It's a big part of the MLS season, there's a lot of games and it's a long season. We're going to need everybody and right now, it looks great. It's exciting that we don't lose a beat."
On tonight's match:
"I think we did all right. They had a few decent chances in the first half particularly. But I'm disappointed in the first two goals, the first one was clearly offside, and the second one the guy was standing in an offside position besides the goalkeeper … Those two goals for me shouldn't have been goals."
On the versatility of his lineup:
"You just can't ask for anymore, you know. You always give it what you got."
On Bob Shuttleworth's performance:
"He did fine… you don't want to give up the first goal but like I said, one was offside, he made a good save he was just unlucky with the goal, there was nothing else to do in the first half. He did OK. I'm saying, I think the second goal he was interfered with. But I spoke to him and he thinks he probably should have done better."
On tonight's match:
"I thought in the first half we did fine, created a couple of chances, passed the ball OK. Their goal was questionable, but whatever. I thought overall, we did OK considering the personnel we had and guys playing different positions all over the field, the effort was there. There is stuff that we can take from it, you know we are just looking to being fit for this weekend."
On the importance of moving on after tonight:
"I think that is the most important point. Our focus is on the league and the more healthy bodies we have for selection on Saturday, the better."
On playing as a defender:
"It was awkward to say the least, can't say I enjoyed it but I'm happy to play whereever Stevie (Nicol) and the team need me. (Nicol) told me likes to play me in a bunch of different positions and I'm happy to do so. You know, wherever injuries dictate I'm needed to slot in, and that is fine with me."

When it comes to a multipurpose work vehicle, it's hard to beat a full-size van like the Chevrolet Express. Chevy's latest commercial van model, the Express, was introduced in 1996 as a replacement for the Chevrolet G Series Sportvan.
The Express shares a body style and mechanical structure with the GMC Savana, which also debuted in 1996. As of 2012, the Express and Savana together make up more than 44 percent of the full-size van segment in the U.S., eclipsed only by sales of Ford's E-Series vans. Like Chevrolet trucks, Chevy vans are divided into 1500, 2500, and 3500 versions, which represent half-ton, three-quarter-ton, and one-ton models, respectively. In addition to weight class, Express vans are available in Passenger and Cargo versions.
The Chevrolet Express is known for its powerful engine and spacious interior, which make the vehicle ideal for accomplishing a wide range of tasks; whether you're hauling equipment for deliveries, transporting tools to a work site, or shuttling passengers to a destination.
Regular Express models offer 239.7 cubic feet of storage space, while extended models feature 284.4 cubic feet of space and a gross weight vehicle rating of 9900 pounds. In the U.S., the Express is popular among plumbers, electricians, and other service providers. Express passenger vans seat between eight and 15 people and are frequently used as shuttle buses, ambulances, wheelchair-accessible vans, towing vehicles, and base models for some recreational vehicles.Outside of North America, Chevrolet Express Cargo vans are often used as ambulances and police vehicles, in places like the Netherlands.
The Express van is not known for its fuel economy, though its 31-gallon fuel tank holds a convenient amount of gas. Base Express models achieve an estimated 13/18 mpg city/highway, which compares similarly to other vans in its class.
Standard features on the 2012 Chevrolet Express include an AM/FM stereo, front heating and air-conditioning, a StabiliTrak stability control system, and a subscription to OnStar. The 2012 Express is available in a wide range of trim choices, beginning with the most basic 135-inch wheel base 1500 version. Models at the 1500 level offer seating for up to eight people and a 4.3-liter V-6 or Vortec 5.3-liter, 310 horsepower V-8 engine with a four-speed automatic transmission. Express models come with two-wheel drive but can be fitted with all-wheel drive. Other standard features include the Chevrolet 100,000-mile or five-year powertrain limited warranty and a driver information center.
The Express 2500 and 3500 models seat up to 12 and 15 people, respectively, and are available with either a 4.8-liter, 280 horsepower or six-liter, 324 horsepower V-8 FlexFuel engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. Buyers can also choose to upgrade to a 6.6-liter Duramax turbo-diesel V-8.
LT models add power locks and windows, remote control keyless entry, rear heating and air-conditioning, and a chrome appearance package. Available high-tech features include Chevy WiFi, Bluetooth, USB ports, turn-by-turn navigation, and SiriusXM satellite radio. The Express Access Package adds a remote start system and remote-release side panels that allow exterior access to gear bins.
Vans with six-speed, heavy-duty transmissions come equipped with auto-grade braking, which prompts the transmission to automatically downshift when brakes are used on long, steep grades. Other safety features include the StabiliTrak electronic stability control system, trailer sway control, and (in 1500 Cargo vans and all Passenger vans) side curtain airbags. Side curtain airbags are available as an option on the 2500 and 3500 Cargo models.
The Chevrolet Express began production in 1996, when Chevrolet restyled its previous commercial van, the Chevrolet Sportvan, with a more comfortable cabin, modern body, and higher-mounted taillights. Trims include the G1500, G2500, G2500 Extended, G3500, and G3500 Extended. Regular models contain 267 cubic feet of cargo space, and extended models offer 317 cubic feet.
Prior to 2002, the Chevrolet Express 2500 and 3500 models came standard with a 5.7-liter, 250-horsepower V-8 engine and a four-speed automatic transmission, while the 1500 models offered a 4.3-liter, 200 horsepower V-6 and a four-speed automatic. Buyers could upgrade to a 6.5-liter diesel V-8 with 180 horsepower. A 7.4-liter upgrade was added in 2000 and an 8.1-liter in 2001.
The Express van's higher-end trim option, the LT, debuted in 2001. It featured a similar 5.7-liter V-8, leather seats, a Bose sound system, and an entertainment system complete with VCR player and game console.
In 2003, the Express van received a whole new lineup of beefier engines, starting with the powerful Vortec 4300 200-horsepower V-6 in the base model and ending with the 6.0-liter, 300-horsepower V-8. All-wheel drive models became available in 2003, as did improved seats, increased storage, and dual-stage airbags in lighter models.
Chevrolet again tweaked the Express's engine selection in 2007, vamping up the V-8s to 301 horsepower and 323 horsepower. Side curtain airbags and stability control were added in 2008. In 2010, the base engine was increased to provide 310 horsepower, and the 6.0-liter V-8 received a six-speed automatic transmission in place of the previous four-speed. The 2011 model year saw the arrival of 4.8-liter V-8 and 6.6-liter turbo-diesel V-8 engines.

Rechargeable batteries are proven technology.
Anyone who carries a mobile phone -- and that's nearly everyone on the planet -- knows that.
So why are we still dumping gasoline into our cars?
A national group advocating deployment of electric cars and trucks, and charging stations to keep them going, chose Northern Colorado on Monday to launch its first, broad initiative to make that happen.
And, while electric vehicles provide plenty of environmental benefits, the drivers of "Drive Electric Northern Colorado" are not first and foremost "greenies."
"As an organization, we're focused on national security and energy independence," said Robbie Diamond, chief executive of the Washington, D.C.-based Electrification Coalition.
"While electric vehicles are clean, and environmentally friendly, the important thing is that they represent the path to energy independence."
The cities of Loveland and Fort Collins are collaborating with Colorado State University on the regional project that Diamond said will serve as a national model for an electric vehicle revolution.
Outside the recently opened Fort Collins Museum of Discovery, where the launch event convened on a sunny, snowy Monday morning, large and small examples of how it's done were on display.
Batteries Not Tanks
FedEx parked a plug-in, all-electric delivery van outside the center's doors. Nearby was Loveland's Nissan Leaf all-electric car, one of two the city is leasing. Bellvue's Morning Fresh Dairy brought its battery-laden milk truck.
"We're exchanging gas tanks for batteries," said Ben Prochazka, director of strategic initiatives for the coalition.
A group of dignitaries, including the mayors of the two sponsoring cities, CSU officials and Electrification Coalition organizers, donned hard hats and posed with shovels for a symbolic groundbreaking for a fast-charging station that will be located at the museum.
Deployment of those charging stations throughout the region is key to making electric cars and trucks viable.
Drive Electric Northern Colorado will push for adoption of electric vehicles by consumers and businesses throughout the region. More on the initiative can be found at DriveElectricNoCo.org. More on the Electrification Coalition, the group that is leading the charge, is at ElectrificationCoalition.org.
While electric cars can be charged with a standard 110-volt household connection overnight, the quick-charge stations can do the job in 20 minutes. That cuts down on what electric vehicle owners know as "range anxiety" -- the fear of running out of juice.
Bohemian Jump-Start
The Fort Collins-based Bohemian Foundation, headed by philanthropist Pat Stryker, has pledged to build two quick-charge stations in the region to serve all-electric vehicles.
Plug-in electric vehicles are a leap beyond more common hybrids -- the Toyota Prius being the best-known -- that burn gasoline. The pure electrics burn nothing, and emit nothing.
Diamond said his organization chose Northern Colorado to launch its initiative because of its demographics and politics.
"It's the right size. It's not too large," he said, explaining that the group's message to electrify could get overwhelmed in a large metro area. "Also, there's no regional ideology here," he said.
Diamond said his group's biggest foes were "inertia" -- the force that keeps people in gasoline-burning cars -- "and a few very large corporations," presumably those that produce and sell oil.
The Electrification Coalition has flexed some corporate muscle of its own, with CEOs of General Electric, Nissan Motors, FedEx and major utility providers among its principal organizers.

Last night, at least six times, I heard fans, beat writers and announcers drawing comparisons to Tom Seaver when talking about Matt Harvey. He's quickly becoming not just a Mets story limited only to the five surrounding boroughs, but a national baseball story as well. A cover on the front of Sports Illustrated or ESPN magazine is not far away.
Harvey, 24, had his second consecutive scintillating start in a row on Monday evening, holding the Phillies to just one run and three hits over seven innings of work. The righthander struck out nine and now has 19 strikeouts in 14 innings.
The seventh overall pick in the 2010 draft is tearing down long-standing records for pitchers who are breaking into the majors and after 12 starts he even had the great Doctor K himself saying, "I am sitting here watching Matt Harvey… this kid is better than advertised … looking forward to watching him every 5th day."
One thing I found impressive came from former major leaguer turned ESPN analyst Doug Glanville say, "He has four plus pitches – make that plus, plus pitches. And even if he only has three of them working he's going to pitch a great game. Even if he has just two of the working, he's going pitch a good game."
Manager Terry Collins kind of backed that up after the game, "Obviously he wasn't real sharp, but he was still very good," Collins said. "The fact that the change-up has helped him. He threw some very good breaking balls today. He just wasn't as sharp with the command of his fastball…It just tells you what the quality stuff can do and when you make a pitch you have to make, you get people out."
Can Matt Harvey become the best pitcher the Mets have developed since – well since – Dwight Gooden?
I'm starting to believe that it's certainly a possibility. He may be the best pitcher a Mets GM has drafted since Frank Cashen took selected Gooden fifth overall in 1981. That was six general managers and 32 years ago.
Is it too early to make such a claim? Maybe. But I'll stick to my guns and wait ten years to see if I was right.

Sooooo, I thought it might be informative to discuss a few issues I had with my ACLS recertification process this year.
The American Heart Association provides a course for health care professionals to learn the latest techniques for Advanced Cardiac Life Support in the event an individual collapses of cardiac or respiratory arrest. The certification process is partially performed by company called CardioConcepts (although now it looks like its called 'Scitent') based in Virginia. The recertification process demands a fee for their course and includes an online registration where doctors must now surrender their most personal information (address, phone number, e-mail) to their website on an electronic registration form. You can bet this information is sold, but I digress...
I have some constructive (I hope) criticisms.
If a company is going to teach ACLS instead of doctors, then either the members of this company must first learn EKG's - especially is I have to PAY for the priviledge of undertaking this experience every two years - or else the American Heart Association needs to do a better job proofing the work for hire for which they have contracted.
For the student's pre-test (available on a CD within the ACLS provider book), we find this tracing:
Click to enlarge
So what is this rhythm? The publishers of the student pre-test for ACLS would have you believe it was "Reentry Supraventricular Tachycardia." I wonder if these guys know basic medical terminology. The correct term should be "reentrant supraventricular tachycardia." *Sigh*
But that's not the real problem with this tracing. My guess this tracing is not even reentrant. (I'm open to what other cardiology and EP docs think, here). Look carefully at how this arrhythmia initiates - a slightly premature beat that looks quite similar to the sinus beat - followed in rapid succession by other P waves with a sudden onset with a "warm-up" phenomenon. See the small indentations in the T wave? These suggest a superimposed P wave. I have placed lines above the P waves below:
These findings seem most consistent with an atrial tachycardia to me. Atrial tachycardias usually have an automatic mechanism, not a reentrant one.
And don't get be started about this tracing of Torsade de Pointes which appears on the Student pre-test:
The correct answer (according to their student pre-test) was "Coarse Ventricular Fibrillation." Wrong again. Most texts and online resources I've seen have classified this as arrhythmia as one form of "Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia," not coarse ventricular fibrillation. Certainly the treatment for Torsades is very different (consider magnesium, pacing, isuprel, lidocaine, etc.) than for "coarse ventricular fibrillation" (shock, drugs and shock again) and should be recognized by everyone who cares for heart patients.
And I was surprised procainamide was removed from the Tachycardia with Pulses algorithm, especially for irregular, wide tachycardia algorithms as well. I've already discussed my preference for this drug (and why) in an earlier post (See Part I and Part II). Instead, they've decided a "Phone a Friend" option (actually, it says, "expert consultation advised") works best. But sometimes experts aren't there right away...
I do appreciate the folks at the American Heart Association's efforts. I can't imagine what an undertaking organizing the training of the nation's doctors must be like. But we must assure that we train folks correctly and give good examples.
After all, people's lives are at stake.

Buffaloes hope to claim second state title in three years
The Meade Buffaloes have been able to deliver a little revenge in their last two games in the Class 2-1A football playoffs.
Now that the Buffaloes have already received the icing, they will be looking for the cake Saturday afternoon at Fort Hays State University when they play for the state championship against defending champion Centralia and the Panthers' 21-game winning streak.
The Buffaloes haven't been pushed too much in their three wins against Decatur County (47-0), Sterling (32-14) and LaCrosse (34-12). Meade has averaged 325.3 rushing yards and 15 rushing touchdowns during the playoffs.
Trevin Wiens has run for 550 yards in the three playoff games and eight scores while Chris Hardaway has scampered in 279 yards and six touchdowns to help the Buffaloes continue to shine.
Now the Buffaloes get to battle the unbeaten Panthers, who have been very dominant as well and winning pretty much the same way as the Buffaloes: a strong running game backed up by a strong defense.
After giving up 16 points to St. Mary's in the opening game of the season, no team has scored more than eight in a game against the Panthers until Lyndon scored 14 in the sub-state contest. Centralia has given up 66 points this season.
J.T. Rosine ran for 1,733 yards and 28 touchdowns and Sam Steinlage added 1,284 and 27 scores in the Panthers' ground game. In the sub-state victory over Lyndon, Rosine had 213 rushing yards and three scores and Steinlage added 161 yards and two touchdowns.

Under a gray sky, the milo field is shoulder-high, lush, and grain-head-heavy. Charles Neal, pushes through the crop he has nurtured and expects to see yield well — so well, in fact, that he's considering entering it in a yield contest.
Why try grain sorghum for the first time?
"Water issues," says the young, Dewitt, Ark., farmer. "We were growing a lot of rice and the cost of fuel is prohibitive. The cost of putting diesel fuel in power units has become ridiculous."
Also, the former rice ground had a bad red rice problem that needed to be cleaned that up. The switch to milo should help alleviate that.
But the main reason, one common to this part of east Arkansas, is water. "Growing sorghum will free up water earlier for our soybeans. Doing this should give our beans a better shot at high yields. Why Milo? Fuel costs, red rice and freeing up water — those are the top three reasons."
The grain sorghum has performed incredibly well on Neal's acreage, says William Johnson, Pioneer agronomist. "This is actually a short-stature hybrid, 84G62. I've never seen it this tall."
This bountiful milo field is 42 acres. Neal — who farms with his father — has 130 milo acres total.
"This is the first time milo has been grown on our land in years and years. My dad used to grow it, but this is the first time we've really gotten into it."
Other things have changed, as well. "Used to be we had to levee-water the milo. Now, we're row-watering it. This 42 acres is on twin-row 30s."
The milo crop was planted April 25. Unlike many Arkansas growers, the Neals weren't late getting into fields. "We didn't have many problems working fields this spring. The soils here dry out in a hurry."
Milo isn't the only new crop for the Neals. For the first time, they also planted 320 acres of corn last spring.
"We've got around 3,000 acres of row crops. Last year, we had 1,100 acres of rice. We split that up into 130 acres of milo, 320 acres of corn, 2,000 acres of soybeans and the balance in rice."
Managing milo
Normally, 84G62 is about belt-high. The Neals' irrigated milo is at least 2 feet taller. "This field has phenomenal head exertion — huge heads," says Johnson. "With the twin-row planting, there are 105,000 to 110,000 plants per acre.
"I think this field needs to be in the grain sorghum yield contest. If nothing happens to it, this field can average 8,000 to 10,000 pounds. A month ago, we walked out in this and it was green and gorgeous, just headed. Now, look at it."
The Neals' prairie soil is "always good" for grass crops, says Johnson. Grasses do well on prairies.
"Well, corn, milo and wheat are grass crops. So is rice. That's why those type crops do well in this area. I'm telling you, the corn and milo around DeWitt looks great. Anywhere 80-bushel to 100-bushel wheat can be grown, you should be able to grow 200-plus bushel corn and 8,000-pound to 10,000-pound milo."
As for managing the crop, "we sprayed MustangMax at flowering to take out midge," says Neal. "We were early enough that the earworm complex never bothered us."
When farmers get into a mid-May planting, that typically means an insecticide to control midge followed by another application for worm control. Sometimes, though, the pyrethroids will provide a residual that lasts long enough to cover both, says Johnson.
"There wasn't anything special, otherwise," says Neal. "We planted this conventionally and were almost a bit too late on herbicide. We put out Dual/atrazine and 500 pounds of triple-19, preplant. Then, we went back with 200 pounds of urea when it was boot-top tall. We dressed it and put the water to it. We … treated it just like a cornfield."
Neal watered his milo twice and corn nine times. For the milo, "we went across the crop once with a ground rig to spray it, had an airplane fertilize it once and we were finished. We had to go across the corn for various things two or three times. One thing's for sure: milo and corn are both a lot easier to grow than rice."
Overall, the Arkansas milo crop "looks good," says Johnson. "We've caught some timely rains."
Johnson grabs a grain head and says it "starts pollinating at the center of the head and goes both directions. The last ones to fill and have milk in them are on the bottom."
He pinches one of the soft, reddish grains. "That's 'soft dough.' In three days, (Charles) can apply a quart of glyphosate. All these leaves will die. Then, seven to 10 days later, it'll be time to harvest."
If milo is harvested when leaves are green, Johnson warns, the grain will "walk out" the back end of the combine. A quart of glyphosate takes care of the extra greenery. Then, the residue will disintegrate. "A couple of weeks after harvest, a disk and rain will melt it down. With the milo plant killed, you don't have to wallow it around for three diskings trying to kill it."
Glyphosate is a great desiccant for milo. "South Texas uses it in that way a lot. I was down there recently and have never seen anything like the sorghum they grow. It looked like the equivalent of the whole Arkansas Grand Prairie planted in sorghum — milo as far as the eye can see. They only get 2 to 6 inches of rain and that's why this crop has always been considered drought-tolerant."

SAN FRANCISCO — The California Supreme Court gave local governments the power Monday to zone medical marijuana dispensaries out of existence, a decision that upholds bans in about 200 cities but does little to solve Los Angeles' years-long struggle to regulate hundreds of storefront pot outlets.
The unanimous decision provided clarity for cities and counties that want to rid themselves of the dispensaries, which sprouted up statewide after a 1996 voter-approved measure that sought to authorize medical marijuana but lacked specifics in how it would be regulated.
Now, attorneys on both sides of the issue say, many cities will be inclined to ban the pot outlets rather than allow a limited number and regulate them — a practice that has spawned expensive litigation up and down California.
"Only cities as liberal as Los Angeles will attempt to regulate," said Los Angeles Special Assistant City Atty. Jane Usher. "Unless you are a city that enjoys being in the litigation business, I think bans will become the order of the day."

From the Disney Comics Mailing List comes mention of the following limited-press item currently offered on eBay:
As knowledgeable Disney comics fans will probably gather from the subtitle, this is meant to be a rebuttal of sorts of HOW TO READ DONALD DUCK, the notorious Marxist critique of Carl Barks' DONALD DUCK and UNCLE $CROOGE stories. All well and good -- a valuable contribution to a long-standing debate over the Duck comics' influence on American pop culture. And when I say "valuable," I'm not just talking through Scrooge's top hat. The 12-page, stapled, black-and-white booklet was initially offered on eBay for... wait for it...
At last check, the price was down to $653.75... plus $12 shipping and handling. (Yeah, better handle it very carefully.) Talk about giving the profit motive a bad name.

Man, say what you want about How to Read Donald Duck--and I believe I am on the record as finding much of it highly problematic--but what it undeniably is is an actual BOOK. I cannot help thinking that if a riposte to that is all of twelve pages long, the author can't have thought very deeply on the subject.
Alas, for a price like that, we may never know for sure.

Black Watch is my most favorite of Scottish tartans. Navy and emerald interwoven, deep and dark like India ink. Last winter I had a simple skirt in mind, made from this plaid - one with a high, pleated waist and a self-tie belt. I found a remnant in a soft wool-rayon blend, with a nice drape and set to work. It was put aside numerous times - because, dear friends, I am the laziest of sewers - but I finished it in time to wear this winter and now, into spring. I based my skirt on this helpful tutorial, but added a lining and downplayed the paper bag waist.

After that, she made guest appearances on other series, including "That '70s Show," "Ellen" and "Hot in Cleveland." In 2002, she reunited with Dick Van Dyke for the TV movie "The Gin Game," based on the play about two elderly members of a senior citizens home who strike up a friendship. The next year, the cast of "The Dick Van Dyke Show" reunited for a TV special.

I thought my post a few weeks ago on Robert Baxter would be a one-off, but it seems we're not done with him yet. Shortly after I posted some examples by Baxter from Reader's Digest Condensed Books...
... I received the following note from my friend Murray Tinkelman:
"Unless I am sorely mistaken Robert Baxter was, for a time, a Cooper Studio member in the early 60's or late 50's. I later bumped into him at the Famous Artist School. It was returning from a coffee break with Bob that I met the school director in the hallway. He asked me how things were going and I resigned on the spot."
"Anyway, Bob is a terrific painter and as I recall a very nice guy."
By complete coincidence, as I was tidying up my studio that same day, I uncovered a copy of the Autumn 1964 issue of Famous Artists magazine, the quarterly publication of the Famous Artists School. What should I discover inside but an article called "Meet one of our instructors... Robert Baxter"
In that article was confirmation of Murray's recollections: Baxter was in fact at the Cooper studio but "after two years on board with Cooper's, he felt he was at a standstill. The changing illustration field demanded a specialized and, more important, a specific personal contribution in viewpoint and style from the artist."
"It wasn't a pleasant time for me," he says. "I had been too heavily influenced by what other illustrators were doing rather than creating my own style and now there was little room for the imitator. It took me several years of painstaking self-criticism and hard work before I began to find my way."
The article tells us that Baxter began working at the Famous Artists School in 1961, but continued to do freelance work on the side. He maintained a relationship with an art rep in New York and was getting assignments from Good Housekeeping, Harvard Business Review, Ford, IBM, and quite a few other advertising and editorial clients.
Baxter described his approach to illustration: "If I'm working for an advertising client, he usually indicates quite specifically what he wants. On an editorial illustration there is much more leeway. Often I'm given the manuscript of the article, and the precise illustration and treatment are left to my discretion."
"After I read the copy, an idea may crop up. Or I doodle till one comes along. Or I may write down words that relate to the subject - frequently these words evoke images that I can develop."
"Eventually, the illustration begins to grow on my board. Somewhere in this process of developing the picture comes the moment when I know it is complete."
"With experience one learns to recognize this moment."
In the article from nearly 50 years ago, Baxter offers advice to illustrators that is every bit as relevant today (perhaps even more so):
"I'm trying to orient myself to markets... you must find the ones most sympathetic to your own developed point of view. First, you must find out who you are and why you think your opinions are special. The answers are sometimes hard to find."
Baxter continued, "Styles in commercial illustration are changing constantly... the illustrator is a great deal more free, more experimental than ever. It's a different way of working, much looser, less realistic. This kind of illustration is much more fun for me than the photographic type. It's more creative, too."
"However," Baxter qualifies, "it's hard to do well. You have to keep up. I try to keep up with the field simply by being involved with it. I try to get good by working hard, by painting constantly. I go into New York often. I talk to art directors. I have a lot of friends who are illustrators and painters; I talk to them. Artists talk a lot. You learn a great deal just by listening."
"Although each illustrator should be aware of what others are doing, originality has never been at such a premium. In fact, it is required of the artist who expects to operate at the highest level. He must be original in viewpoint, in concept, in technique. This doesn't mean that 'originality' should be conceived as merely surface mannerisms and trickiness. Ideally an original technique should add to the meaning of the picture, should arise out of the artist's personal involvement with his subject matter."
By way of example, Baxter explains the painting below...
"I feel close to this picture," he says. "One reason, of course, is the subject - my own child, Erika. When Erika becomes tired, she seems to withdraw within herself - to enter into a world of her own. Empty space is symbolic of her aloneness and the corner is a kind of axis in all this emptiness."
"The whole painting is based on this one feeling: that my child, who for ten hours a day is an extrovert, retreats into her magic, quiet world when she is tired. Because this world is 'unreal' it is without structure, so it was not important to delineate the objects in the room. If there is any originality in me, this picture expresses it."
In the years after the publication of this article, Robert Baxter went on to win numerous awards: the Paul Cezanne Medal, Aix-en-Provence, France; the Ogden and Mary Pleissner Award, American Watercolor Society; and other awards from Allied Artists of America, the National Academy of Design and the Society of Illustrators. He continued teaching in the following decades; at the Silvermine School of Art. In the early 1970s he was one of six painters who started Studio II, a studio/school in Westport.
(You can see Baxter's work in the top LH corner of the book cover below)
During the 1980's Baxter split much of his time between Connecticut and Provence, France, where he conducted painting workshops under the name, "Tour de Provence."
A final thought from Baxter worth printing out and taping over your drawing table:
"[To develop originality] you have to think. If you are merely going to look at the world and reproduce it, you are only doing what anyone else can do - and what a camera can probably do better. If you have ideas - then you're in good shape."

The FRENEMY MAGTEK is a technically and financially affordable all-mountain board designed for women.
This board is totally in its element on and off track mainly because of its AmpTek All-mountain rocker combining a traditional camber between the feet and moderate rocker in tips for mastered power, great stability as well as a good flotation. On the other hand, the Magne-Traction 5S edge provide incomparable grip at high speed on any type of snow while making the FRENEMY tolerant at low speed.
Thanks to the ROSSIGNOL FRENEMY MAGTEK, the intermediate female riders have found an accessible, ultra-playful and performing board to accompany their improvement in total confidence.
- Program: ALL MOUNTAIN
- Shape Directional Twin
- Wood Core 5620: A single essence of vertically laminated wood to offer you strength and comfort without ruining you.
- Sole density: Sintered 4400
- Your level: Intermediate to Advanced
- Flex rate: 5/10
- Tips: Progressive Radius 420
- Waist: 239mm to 242mm
- Magne-Traction 5S + RadCut, 6.5 to 7.2m: Great novelty combining major positive curve radii between the feet and inverse radii just before the tips to open the trajectories infinitely and to allow ultra-progressive edge-to-edge passages.
- Rocker camber AmpTek All-Mountain: The first rocker associated with of the camber between the feet for a maximum flotation and pop while making the board stable and fun. The AmpTek technology, patent pending, amplifies all aspects of ride and comes in 3 versions where the height and length of the camber and the rocker vary to match all gliding styles. Opt for a more reactive board with the AmpTek All-Mountain and have immediate pleasure, with rocker of 60% and a camber of 40%: Better control, greater stability, more pressure on the square, softer receptions, very manoeuvrable in the powder, flexible tips/ rigid waist.
- Twin All Mountain: Symmetrical and rigid flex under the feet for more energy and better grip. More rigid waist for greater stability at high speed.
- MagneTraction 5S: For THIS new version, the Magne-Traction 5S, Rossignol has taken the Mag 7S and removed the 2 waves on the outside of the feet while keeping the 3 at the middle, which produces a very tolerant board for smooth glides, with a perfect holding of edges where it is most needed.
- MagTek: The most powerful edge meets the most powerful camber. Only Rossignol Snowboards give you the best of both worlds: award-winning Magne-Traction edges combined with an AmpTek premium rocker. This is the ultimate in design of snowboards. A better holding, more control and more performance regardless of the level, the ground or the snow conditions.
- ABS edges: The best anti-shock and fully waterproof protection, the ABS is integrated on all our edges and in some cores.
The ISIS W is a versatile binding specifically designed to enhance female riders' achievements on all terrains. It has more than one trick up its sleeve. Its high-end construction makes it comfortable, resistant and efficient.
It offers great support thanks to its innovative straps and its use is made substantially easier by the rear opening at spoiler level.

text: In November 1863, President Abraham Lincoln was invited to deliver remarks, which later became known as the Gettysburg Address, at the official dedication ceremony for the National Cemetery of Gettysburg in Pennsylvania, on the site of one of the bloodiest and most decisive battles of the Civil War. Though he was not the featured orator that day, Lincoln's 273-word address would be remembered as one of the most important speeches in American history. In it, he invoked the principles of human equality contained in the Declaration of Independence and connected the sacrifices of the Civil War with the desire for "a new birth of freedom," as well as the all-important preservation of the Union created in 1776 and its ideal of self-government.

He lived in our vicinity during the early part of the 1800's. And yes, he planted thousands and thousands of apple trees. Up until just a few years ago, some of the descendants of those apple trees were still alive. At this point in time, I am unsure if any are still living.
Today, Mr. Kerry and I decided to take advantage of the beautiful, late summer weather. We went to a rummage sale (the best I've ever been to!), grazed at Sam's Club, and enjoyed a classic car show and ice cream social at a small country church.
But, in between all of that, we visited the restored blockhouse that our community is famous for.

DescriptionAn introduction to the most relevant theoretical and algorithmic aspects of modern microwave imaging approaches
Microwave imaging—a technique used in sensing a given scene by means of interrogating microwaves—has recently proven its usefulness in providing excellent diagnostic capabilities in several areas, including civil and industrial engineering, nondestructive testing and evaluation, geophysical prospecting, and biomedical engineering.
Microwave Imaging offers comprehensive descriptions of the most important techniques so far proposed for short-range microwave imaging—including reconstruction procedures and imaging systems and apparatus—enabling the reader to use microwaves for diagnostic purposes in a wide range of applications. This hands-on resource features:
A review of the electromagnetic inverse scattering problem formulation, written from an engineering perspective and with notations
The most effective reconstruction techniques based on diffracted waves, including time- and frequency-domain methods, as well as deterministic and stochastic space-domain procedures
Currently proposed imaging apparatus, aimed at fast and accurate measurements of the scattered field data
Insight on near field probes, microwave axial tomographs, and microwave cameras and scanners

I do not want to take too much time sharing about my weight, because I would like to talk about the new Weight Watchers 360° program. As you can see I lost this past week. Honestly, I can't believe I lost, because last week was so stressful. However, I am excited to be moving in the right direction!
. . . . . . . . . .
Weight Watchers 360°
I am so excited about the new Weight Watchers 360° program!! At your local Weight Watchers meeting you will be introduced to this new program. In addition, if you visit the Weight Watchers website it will look very different than it did last week. I tried to warn you that change was coming to the Weight Watchers program!
All throughout the week I will be sharing with you about this new program. I will also be hosting a Weight Watchers 360° Giveaway throughout the month of December 2012. Be sure to check back tomorrow to read more about it!
Please don't panic. The new Weight Watchers 360° program is builds on the PointsPlus program. So, you will still have PointsPlus values for your food. However, after their study of "hedonic" hunger Weight Watchers discovered that eating healthy is not enough.
Hedonic hunger is the desire to seek out high-sugar, high-fat foods that bring pleasure. This so-called "hedonic" eating system is the wiring in our brains that causes us to over-respond to trigger foods, crave them, and then get a shot of dopamine when we get them. Miller-Kovach says. "It can drive a person to overeat when those types of foods are available. You have to control your environment to avoid that drive."
Weight Watchers 360° is the answer to this most recent research regarding hedonic hunger. In this new program, Weight Watchers is all about:
1. Tracking (PointsPlus): making the smart food/activity choice
2. Spaces: making those choices easy
3. Routines: making those choices second nature
These three areas of focus will help us to reshape our environments in addition to our eating habits, so that making healthy choices becomes second nature to us. The longer we follow the program the easier it will become!
To read in more about the new Weight Watchers 360° program check out this blog post from Weight Watchers CEO, David Kirchoff.

FBI Arrests 7 For Amish-Shearing Hate Crimes
The Amish beard-theft ring whose crimes shocked the world last October is now in police custody after the FBI raided their Ohio compound and arrested seven men in connection with the attacks. Hate crime charges have been filed.
The men arrested belong to a breakaway sect "with some of the attributes of a cult," the LA Times reports. Their controlling leader, Samuel Mullet Sr., left the Amish community of Ohio in 1995 to establish his own group, and ordered the others to break into Amish homes at night and cut off the beards of men and hair of women, none of which is supposed to be cut after marriage, according to religious law. One victim said he would rather have been "beaten black and blue than to suffer the disfigurement and humiliation of having his hair removed." Mullet Sr. claims the assaults were an act of retribution against the Amish community for having shunned his sect.
Among the arrested were Mullet Sr., his three sons Johnny, Daniel and Lester, his son-in-law Emanuel Schrock, and two other sect members, Levi and Eli Miller. They face up to life in prison if convicted. [LAT, Photo: From left: Johnny Mullet, Lester Mullet, Daniel Mullet, Levi Miller and Eli Miller wait to make their pleas Oct. 19 in Holmes County Municipal Court in Millersburg, Ohio.

Partying at the Olympic Village
I helped work the Blue Moon booth again (I know, I know...kid in a candy store!) with Tapmouse and two very special ladies!!
Ettamae and Cockeyed! These women just make me smile and laugh and feel so loved! Four fabulous days and I miss them already! Speaking of missing, dear Disco, you were missed! Next year is going to be even better with you here!!
Back to a quick Olympic recap....
I'm not sure drinking enhanced the knitting process, but it sure was fun! Nope, didn't finish, but I know I'll finish it soon. I focused on this blanket for the entire 17 days! Very focused, but just couldn't finish!
I did however have a backup plan. The Aerial Unwind.
Buh-bye Tuscany shawl. You've been sitting untouched for years.
You have now returned to your gorgeous BMFA Posh Yarn (discontinued) form....soon to be destashed I think. Just not feeling the love.
Hey, look what pretty sock was on display at the BMFA booth!! Knit up in Lenka! This colorway is stunning knit up!
It was a fabulous four days of fiber, friends, and fun! So much fun that I didn't catch very many pictures! Well, except for the booth breakdown!
The Almighty Cockeyed!! She reversed that big 'ole van into that tiny spot!
A good time was had by all.
Happy Stitches!!
xoxo Irishgirlieknits
P.S. Oops! I almost forgot...pictures of newly acquired Stitches stash!! Let's start with the Socks that Rock (seriously, this is all I got! I must knit faster I've decided! Oh, and only 5 are mine...Valenscummy is for Knittinggolfer!).

Love your new purchases - particularly that deep orange and light green on the left. Very pretty!
Boy am I ever happy to have purchased some of that pretty Lenka. It may need to turn into a Mara shawl... maybe a good candidate for camp knitting
It was sure fun visiting you ladies during Stitches... So glad we get to visit some more at sock camp:)
