My husband and I chose the large horse for our daughter for Christmas; she loves stuffed animals and horses so this was perfect for her. Although she loves it, I am very unhappy with this item. I have repaired numerous holes (5+) on this horse where the seams are pulling apart. This is the first HearthSong item I have ever purchased that is such poor quality. If my daughter wasn't so attached to this horse, I would probably have sent it back.

Leonor Rodriguez added 13, Alexa Deluzio 12 and Natasha Howard 10 for Florida State (14-3, 4-2), which is now 10-1 all-time against the Eagles.
Freshman Nicole Boudreau led Boston College (8-8, 2-3) with 18 points on 4-of-5 3-point shooting. Kristen Doherty added 12 points and Katie Zenevitch 10 as each player reached double figures for the 10th time this year.
The Eagles used a 12-2 run—including seven points from Kristen Doherty—midway through the second half to cut the Seminoles' advantage to 50-47 with 8:06 left. Florida State rebounded with a 7-2 run, however, and Boston College never pulled closer than four points again.
Florida State won the team's previous matchup 76-70 on Dec. 30.

Sunday Comic: Hawk Harrelson Walks His Dog
Is the White Sox broadcaster's pooch as confused as the rest of us? Put it on the board … YES!
8:51 am on Sunday, August 19, 2012
If you were a sox fan you'd understand. Why not something that makes fun of the 27 games out of first cubs?!?
Ice Man
11:05 am on Sunday, August 19, 2012
My granfather was a sox fan (Yorkville class of '39) and he never understood a crazy word that goof-ball said. He always wished a "can of corn" would fall on his head to knock him out so he would not have to listen to his idiocy. You want to see how dumb that guy is, just look at his record as GM.

Harrelson is the worst sports announcer in MLB. He's a pantie snort!
12:36 pm on Sunday, August 19, 2012
Agreed! Harrelson is by far the worst announcer in MLB!
You can put it on the board... YEESSS!
Brandon Andreasen
6:23 pm on Sunday, August 19, 2012
He isn't even just the worst announcer according to Cubs fans. Two years ago, two different writers, one from Bleacher Report, one from GQ, named him the worst announcer in baseball. Although I must admit, I love how this year, every time a team wins a game against the Sox on a walk off Home Run, Hawk goes dead silent. True professional. Not a word. Just dead air. It's wonderful.

Also, the dog could have said "I wish i'd been adopted by Steve Stone."
10:27 pm on Sunday, August 19, 2012
Hawk is awesome in my book! Yes, I am a die-hard Sox fan. But, I appreciate Hawk's passion for the Sox, the game of baseball, and the fan experience. I'd much rather listen to him and any other announcer that has played the game at the MLB level, loves and roots for the team they are announcing for (Harry Carey, Jack Brickhouse, Bob Eucker, etc) than the mundane, near-comatose personalities of most network baseball announcers (Joe Buck is terrible).
8:31 am on Tuesday, August 21, 2012
At least Hawk isn't trying to say "Do you know what Duck Snort spelled backwards is?"
9:31 am on Tuesday, August 21, 2012
I LOVE when baby bear fans get all riled up about Hawk, when they put Harry on a pedestal (literally) and started to fill up the park once they promoted "fun in the sun" and not the product on the field.

Title: | Head Coach |
Phone: | 716-645-6876 |
Email: | firstname.lastname@example.com |
After taking over a dormant program that had produced just six dual meet victories in the previous four seasons, head coach Jim Beichner has taken the Bulls' wrestling program to a complete turnaround. In 18 seasons, Beichner has guided Buffalo to a 151-120-4 (.556) dual meet record and has coached 43 Bulls at the NCAA Championships.
Under Beichner's tutelage, seven Buffalo wrestlers have reached the 100-win plateau. In 2010, Jimmy Hamel and Desi Green joined Mark Budd, Kyle Cerminara, Gary Cooper and Josh States as the only Bulls to reach that prestigious mark, all have done so since Beichner took the reins at UB. Early on in 2011, Kevin Smith also joined the club.
Beichner arrived at UB for the 1995-96 season, and guided the Bulls to a 10-4 dual meet record after they were winless the previous season. The Bulls captured third place in the East Coast Wrestling Association (ECWA) Tournament and sent two wrestlers to the NCAA Championships where they each posted wins, the first-ever tournament wins for UB since its return to Division I. Additionally, Beichner was recognized for his efforts, receiving the New York State Division I and ECWA Coach of the Year awards, in addition to Amateur Wrestling News Rookie Coach of the Year honors.
In his second season, Beichner guided the team to a 12-2-2 record, the most wins in over a decade for the program. Again the Bulls finished third at the ECWA Tournament. Jason Wartinger qualified for the NCAA Championships for the third time in his career. In addition, the Bulls finished in the top five in all five tournaments they participated in under Beichner's leadership.
In his third season, UB finished in third place at the ECWA Tournament. In addition, the Bulls made another step towards national prominence by sending three qualifiers to the NCAA National Championships, the third consecutive year Beichner had guided wrestlers to the NCAA Championships.
In addition to the team's success, Beichner helped the UB program and the Western New York area by bringing the National Wrestling Coaches Association All-Star Classic to UB's Alumni Arena. This national tournament showcased some of the top wrestlers in the country at each weight class going against each other as a preview of possible National Championship matchups. All told, there were six National Champions and 19 All-Americans from that season who competed at UB's Alumni Arena.
In 1998-99, Beichner continued the program's upward climb as the Bulls entered the Mid-American Conference, a conference that had two teams finish in the top 10 at the NCAA Championships the previous year. UB finished third in the regular season and fourth at the MAC Championships. Additionally, the Bulls had three qualifiers for the NCAA Championships for the second straight season.
During the 1999-2000 season, Buffalo finished with an 11-5 dual meet record. Within the MAC, the Bulls posted a 2-3 mark leaving them in fourth place. UB also placed fourth at the MAC Championships. Once again, three of Buffalo's wrestlers qualified for the NCAA Championships.
In the 2000-01 campaign under Beichner, four UB wrestlers qualified for the NCAA Championships. Buffalo's lone NCAA qualifier in 2001-02 was freshman standout Kyle Cerminara.
In 2002-03, along with Labe Black and Gary Cooper reaching the NCAA Championships, Beichner's team went 9-6 and won the New York State Collegiate Championships.
In 2003-04, Beichner led the Bulls to an 8-0 dual meet start on the way to a 12-5 season. Along the way, Buffalo took second at the New York State Collegiate Championships and Ed Pawlak, Mark McKnight and Cerminara won MAC Championships to earn bids to the NCAA Championships.
Though McKnight and Pawlak bowed out in the All-American round at the meet, Cerminara won in overtime en route to an eighth-place finish. UB finished 33rd at the meet, its highest placing in the Division I era.
His team went through a youth movement in 2004-05, with four freshmen being placed in the starting lineup and two sophomores and a junior without consistent starting experience also making the starting 10. The result was a season that saw the Bulls struggle to 3-10 in dual meets, but a season that ended with two wins, including a come-from-behind 18-16 win against Kent State.
Even with the youth, Beichner delivered an NCAA qualifier for the 10th consecutive year, as McKnight reached the tournament and a record five Bulls placed at the Mid-American Conference Championships.
In 2005-06, Beichner's patience paid off, as the team placed a school-record third at the MAC Championships, led by the individual title efforts of captains Mark Budd and Harold Sherrell. Cerminara also earned a bid to the NCAA Championships, as the 197-pounder posted a UB-best ranking of second in the final NWCA poll and earned the second seed at the NCAA Championships. Budd also earned a national ranking during the season, egged on by his stunning upset of the nation's No. 1-ranked 133-pounder in December.
The rest of the Bulls also got on the winning track, as Mickey Moran went from seven wins as a freshman to 26 and a national ranking as a sophomore, helping the team garner its first national ranking, reaching 24th in the WrestlingReport.com poll.
Despite dealing with numerous injuries, Beichner still guided the 2006-07 Bulls to a winning dual meet record. The Bulls also had success during tournaments throughout the season, as 10 UB wrestlers won tournament titles during the season. The Bulls finished 3rd at the New York State Wrestling Championships and Budd made his second-straight trip to the NCAA Championship.
Prior to the 2007-08 season, the pre-season rankings predicted the Bulls to finish in last place among their six conference foes. Buffalo managed to finish fourth in the MAC with Pat Lloyd finished second at 157 as Jimmy Hamel and Jeff Parker placed third at 197 and HWT, respectively. At the Intercollegiate Championships, the Bulls broke their streak of back-to-back third place finishes by taking second place for the first time since the 2005-06 season.
In the 2008-09 season, the Bulls faced six nationally-ranked opponents. In a four week period, Buffalo faced #9 Central Michigan, #13 Edinboro, #22 Hofstra and #23 Kent State in dual meets while grappling #21 Minnesota and #11 Wyoming at the National Duals earlier in the season. The Bulls walked away from the NYS Intercollegiate Championships by capturing the team title as well as individual titles by Nate Rock at 174, Kevin Smith at 133 and reigning champion Mickey Moran defending his title at 184. Beichner led four Bulls to their first career appearances at the NCAA Championships - redshirt-freshman Desi Green, redshirt-sophomore Jimmy Hamel and fifth-year seniors Nate Rock and Mickey Moran. The Bulls' new all-time takedown leader Green reached the furthest among the four competitors by reaching top 16 in the 149-pound weight class.
The 2009-10 team posted yet another winning campaign, going 9-7-1 and sending another four players to the NCAA championships. A win against perennial national power Nebraska, ranked #12 at the time, and tie against #25 Hofstra highlighted the team's dual meet season. Sophomore Desi Green won the MAC Championship at 149 pounds and three other Bulls placed second in their championship weight classes. Additionally, sophomore John-Martin Cannon won his 165 pound class at the New York State Intercollegiate Championships.
Even more records were set in 2010-11, as the team sent a record five wrestlers to the NCAA tournament after winning a record four individual titles en route to a third-place finish at the MAC championships. Junior Desi Green won his second MAC championship and became the third Buffalo wrestler under Beichner to make the NCAA tournament three straight years. Aside from that, Green became the first junior ever to win 100 career matches, joining senior Jimmy Hamel as members of the team that joined the 100-win club in 2010-11.
In his 16 seasons, Beichner has made a tremendous impact at the University at Buffalo. He has taken the program from a team with a combined six wins in the four years prior to his arrival to 50 wins in his first five seasons. With 144 dual meet wins, Beichner ranks behind only Ed Michael's 213 career wins at Buffalo.
Beichner and his staff have brought some of the best that college wrestling has to offer in Western New York and continue to build a program that is making trips to the NCAA Championships on a regular basis.
Prior to his appointment at UB, Beichner served seven years as an assistant coach at the University of Pittsburgh under head coach Rande Stottlemeyer. At Pittsburgh, Beichner was heavily involved in the day-to-day operations of the program, budgeting, and other administrative duties in addition to his coaching and recruiting responsibilities.
"I was fortunate that Rande gave me the freedom to do what was necessary to get the job done," Beichner said. "He never put restrictions on my methods, but instead made everything accessible to me at all times."
During his seven-year tenure as an assistant, the Panthers were ranked in the National Top-25 six times, reaching as high as 13th in 1988. During Beichner's last season as an assistant in 1994-95, Pittsburgh was invited to the National Duals Tournament for the first time in school history. En route to an eighth-place finish, the Panthers defeated traditional wrestling powers Oregon State and Arizona State, as well as intrastate rival Penn State for the first time in 19 years.
Beichner's coaching career began at Clarion University following an outstanding collegiate wrestling career for the Golden Eagles. During his four years, Beichner was a two-time NCAA Division I All-American at 190 pounds, compiling 125 overall career victories (tying third for most all-time wins) and twice being selected to compete in the prestigious East-West All-Star Classic. In addition, he is 11th in career dual meet wins (49) and posted the third-best single-season record in school history at 40-4 during the 1984-85 season. As captain he led Clarion to only its third undefeated dual meet season in more than 38 years of competition. In May of 2000, Beichner was inducted into the Clarion Sports Hall of Fame.
It was while coaching at Clarion following his wrestling career that Beichner learned the inner workings of a collegiate wrestling program from one of the winningest coaches in history, Bob Bubb. Currently the Executive Director of the National Wrestling Coaches Association, Bubb had a profound influence on Beichner and his coaching style.
"Coach Bubb was a very regimented coach who ran a strict program," Beichner said. "However, he was more than just a wrestling coach in that he was always there if you were having problems or needed any kind of help. If I can do anything here at UB, I'd like to emulate the way he ran his program and be as successful as he's been."
Beichner began his association with wrestling at Cassadaga Valley High School, located 80 miles southwest of Buffalo. Wrestling under head coach Cliff Blum, Beichner was a three-time New York State High School Tournament placewinner and an inductee into the Cassadaga Hall of Fame in 1982.
"I consider coach Blum to be one of the best coaches I've ever worked with. The majority of my wrestling technique and all the things I've accomplished come as a result of his wrestling program."
In 2004, he was also inducted into the Chautauqua County Hall of Fame for his efforts at Cassadaga Valley, Clarion and UB.
In recognition of the respect he has earned in collegiate wrestling from his peers, Beichner was chosen as President of the National Wrestling Coaches Association and began a two-year term in 2008.
After a record-breaking season in 2010-11, Beichner earned the Mid American Conference's Coach of the Year for the first time in his 16 seasons. Under his guidance, the team finished third at the conference tournament (tied for a program best) and he sent six wrestlers to the NCAA tournament, tied for the most of any program in the MAC.
Also in 2010-11, two more wrestlers joined the 100-win club: senior Jimmy Hamel and junior Desi Green. After Green won his 100th match en route to his second straight MAC title at 149 pounds, he became the first junior in program history to win 100 career matches.
In 2012, the team had one of the youngest starting lineups in program history but still put together a solid season, with a handful of veterans supporting a raw but talented core of new faces. Kevin Smith not only reached the 100-win mark for his career, he finished the season with 121 total wins (2nd most all time) and won a dual match on the final day of the regular season to pass Kyle Cerminara for the most career dual wins (with 52). Mark Lewandowski won over 30 matches for the second straight year and set the single season record for most two-point near falls. The two vets also joined standout freshman Jake Waste with 16 dual meet wins this season, tying them for seventh most in program history. Despite all the growing pains, the team sent two wrestlers to St. Louis for the NCAA championship.
Beichner has three children - Jake, Sam, and Grace.

Missouri congressional candidates will debate next month
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (AP) - Candidates to replace U.S. Rep. Jo Ann Emerson in Missouri's 8th Congressional District will debate next month at Southeast Missouri State University.
The university announced Tuesday that the 90-minute live debate will air at 6:30 p.m. May 28 on KFVS-TV. It also will be webcast on the Southeast Missourian's website.
All four candidates running in the June 4 special election will participate. They are Jason Smith, a Republican; Steve Hodges, a Democrat; Bill Slantz, a Libertarian; and Doug Enyart, the Constitution Party. Because seating is limited, tickets will be distributed by each candidate's campaign headquarters.
Missouri's 8th District stretches from the outer suburbs of St. Louis south to the Missouri Bootheel and west to the Ozark hills.
Emerson resigned in January to lead a national association of rural electric cooperatives.
Report finds lax oversight of specialty pharmacies
WASHINGTON (AP) - A congressional investigation finds that specialty pharmacies like the one that triggered a deadly meningitis outbreak last year have little state oversight.
The report being released Monday by House Democrats shows that most states do not track or routinely inspect compounding pharmacies and that pharmacy boards in nearly all 50 states lack the information and expertise they need.
Missouri and Mississippi were the only two states that require permits or licenses and also the only ones with complete data on how many facilities they had.
None of the states indicated that they track whether pharmacies sell compounded drugs across state lines or in large quantities. Twenty-two states said they do not keep histories of problems.
Compounding pharmacies mix customized medications based on doctors' prescriptions. There have been calls for more federal oversight.
Missouri Democrats choose Steve Hodges for congress
The Southeast Missourian reported that he earned 39 votes during his party's meeting in Poplar Bluff. De Soto funeral home director Todd Mahn got 27 votes, and former Blodgett mayor Markel Fitchpatrick earned only two votes.
Hodges, 64, of East Prairie, is a former grocery store owner and high school sports referee who spent a dozen years on a local school board and first won election to the Missouri House in 2006. Only after other likely candidates bowed out did he belatedly enter the race Wednesday night to run in a June 4 special election against Republican state Rep. Jason Smith, who was nominated by his party last weekend.
In accepting the nomination, Hodges recalled his son Andrew's valedictorian address at West Point. "He said opportunities sometimes only come along once in your life," Hodges said. "And he said it's your choice to decide whether to accept that opportunity or let it pass. I thought about it a great deal for several days this week and I thought I think God is presenting this as an opportunity for me. So I need to decide whether this is something I should take advantage of or let pass by because it's not going to happen again."
Missouri's 8th District stretches across 30 counties, from the outer suburbs of St. Louis south to the agricultural-base of the Missouri Bootheel and west to the rolling Ozark hills. The district's residents are the poorest and least educated in Missouri, with a median household income of less than $36,000 and more than 85 percent lacking bachelor's degrees. For 32 years, much of the area had been represented by either Bill Emerson or Jo Ann Emerson, who succeeded her husband after he died in 1996. Jo Ann Emerson resigned Jan. 22 to become president and CEO of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association. Although of opposite political parties, Hodges praised the Emersons and vowed to continue their legacies of supporting labor and agriculture. He also stressed the need to balance the budget.
Hodges described Smith, the Republican nominee, as a friend and said he hoped to conduct the campaign as friends. "That was the way I was reared," he said. "But in politics as Gov. (Jay) Nixon has said, `There is no second place.' There are only winners and losers, and I hope to give you a winner."
Smith, an attorney, farmer and real estate partner, won a special election to the Missouri House of Representatives in November 2005. Because of term limits, Smith, 32, is now one of the most senior members of the chamber. After serving as majority party whip, his colleagues elected him in January as House speaker pro tem - the No. 2 ranking position.
Mo. GOP choose Jason Smith for Congress
State Rep. Jason Smith prevailed after six rounds of voting by an 84-person committee of local Republican leaders and immediately became the favorite in a June 4 special election in the GOP-leaning 8th District.
"We're going to win this seat," Smith declared to the applause of fellow Republicans after accepting the nomination. "The fiscal responsibility in Washington, D.C., is what's destroying our country, and we've got to take control of it and get it back," he added.
At age 32, Smith would be one of the younger members of Congress, but he already has plenty of experience as a lawmaker. Smith won a special election to the Missouri House of Representatives in November 2005 and, because of term limits, is now one of the most senior members of the chamber. After serving as majority party whip, his colleagues elected him in January as House speaker pro tem - the No. 2 ranking position.
On Saturday, he defeated nine other GOP candidates, including Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder, former state Sen. Jason Crowell and former state party Chairman Lloyd Smith, who had been Emerson's chief of staff.
Missouri's 8th Congressional District is one of three vacant seats in the nation, but it's the only one where party leaders - not voters - are choosing the candidates. Democrats are to select their nominee next weekend.
Emerson, 62, resigned Jan. 22 to become president and CEO of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, ending a 32-year run of family representation in Congress. Her late husband, Republican Rep. Bill Emerson, first won the seat in 1980 and served until he died of lung cancer in June 1996. Jo Ann Emerson then won an election to succeed her husband and rarely faced a formidable challenge thereafter.
Missouri's sprawling 8th District stretches south from the outer suburbs of St. Louis to the agricultural-base of the Missouri Bootheel and westward to the rolling Ozark hills. The district's residents are the poorest and least educated in Missouri, with a median household income of less than $36,000 and more than 85 percent lacking college bachelor's degrees.
A resident of rural Salem, Smith touted the fact that he drove 10,000 miles to all 30 counties in the district and visited with each committee member over the past two months. Smith is a man of many trades. He owns a fourth-generation family farm with about 30 cattle, is an attorney and also a partner in a real estate business.
During a speech Saturday before committee members began voting, Smith pledged to "bring a fresh approach" to conservative policies without trying to "speak and yell the loudest." He lead after each round of voting, gradually pick up more support as other candidates were dropped from the ballot.
Smith described himself as more conservative than U.S. House Speaker John Boehner and said his goal is "to cooperate but not compromise on your core values." He asserted that President Barack Obama and "Washington, D.C., liberals" are twisting the words of the Declaration of Independence by trying to "guarantee happiness" instead of simply assuring people have the right to pursue happiness.
Federal spending, Obama's health care law and policies that "tax the rich to give to the poor" all are making the country "less American," Smith said. "It makes us less independent, less prosperous and less free." Because there was no traditional primary, there was no mass media advertising and little need for candidates to fund raise. Consequently, the campaign was intensely personal. Many candidates met face-to-face with committee members in their homes, coffee shops or at public forums. On the eve of Saturday's meeting, for example, the eventual finalists all dined at the same restaurant in Van Buren - each seated at separate tables conversing with committee members. Their handshake campaigning continued up to the last minute before the meeting was gaveled into session Saturday.
Smith portrayed a less confrontational style than some of the other finalists.
Kinder, for example, had pledged to be Boehner's "worst headache" if he didn't get spending under control. Crowell had emphasized his record of shutting down debate in the state Senate to block spending with which he disagreed. Lloyd Smith had declared federal debt to be the "new red menace" that is destroying the nation's future.

Monday, February 18, 2013 - 4:55 AM
A weekend fire drove a Findlay family from their home. The fire was reported around 8 a.m. Saturday when smoke was seen coming from the roof of a house at 617 Morse Street. Everyone in the home was able to get out safely. Damage was estimated at a total of $18,000. The cause of the blaze remains under investigation, but is believed to have been the result of a light fixture in the attic. The Hancock County Red Cross Disaster Action team provided food for the family of two adults and two children, and a place for them to stay.

Aperitif is a before-dinner drink to stimulate the appetite. The term originates from the Latin word, 'apertitiuvum indicating 'opener.' In France, it is pronounced aperitif, and in Italy, aperitivo.
Aperitif was born in Europe and traveled to the United States later around the beginning of 1900s. There is no definite evidence indicating the origin of aperitif. Some say it goes back to the biblical days of ancient Egyptian era.
By the 16th century people were producing flavoured spirits with herbs and spices for medicinal purposes. In the early days they tasted very bitter so the early producers of aperitif made it more acceptable tastes by diluting ingredients in wine.
When it became popular for non-medicinal consumption, it was served as an appetite stimulator before the meal, which became the social tradition in many parts of Europe.

Honda Accord Coupe Concept
Plug-in Hybrid, Direct Injection, Six-Speed Automatics among New Tech Coming for New Accord

When the "all new" 9th generation Civic was released last year, Honda was roundly criticized for not doing enough to update one its strongest selling vehicles. The Civic was dinged for its lack of major styling and hardware improvements in the face of heavily updated rivals from Hyundai, Ford and Chevy.
That certainly won't be the case with Honda's flagship Accord. The sheet just dropped on the Honda Accord Coupe Concept at the 2012 Detroit auto show, and while it's sheetmetal is a bit underwhelming, the content below the skin is quite impressive.
But let's work from the outside in. Yes, the overall profile and hardpoints appear to be derived if not directly carried over from the previous generation Accord. Strip away garish bits like the chunky chrome foglight surrounds, upswept rocker panels, and 20-inch wheels, and you're left with a decided evolutionary reboot of the Accord Coupe.
And that's fine. No one else makes a coupe from its mid-size offering, so Honda is free to do as it pleases, and clearly has decided to use this concept as a showcase for the new technology coming to the Accord family.
Replacing the bread and butter 2.4 liter 4-cylinder engine is... another 2.4-liter 4-cylinder. But this new 16-valve, DOHC 4-banger comes with direct injection and drives the front wheels via an all new "G-Design shift" continuously variable transmission (CVT). Output is claimed to be more than 181 hp and 177 lb-ft of torque.
Next up on the ladder is the 3.5-liter 24-valve SOHC VTEC V-6, which is not entirely new, but "re-engineered" for more power and torque and better fuel economy. The bigger news is that this engine mates to Accord's first ever 6-speed automatic transmission. Honda claims the new trans, features like Variable Cylinder Management (VCM), and an Eco operation mode will help the new Accord V-6 beat the outgoing model's EPA estimated 20 city and 30 highway mpg.
Perhaps the biggest news is the all new Accord plug-in hybrid variant, which utilizes a 2.0-liter i-VTEC Atkinson-cycle 4-cylinder engine mated to an electric CVT, similar to the motor/generator system found in the Toyota Prius and Chevy Volt. Honda's hybrid system has three modes all-electric, gasoline-electric and direct drive, which runs the car off the gas engine in the traditional manner.
Supplementing the gas engine is a 6 kWh lithium-ion battery and 120-kW electric motor. Honda claims this allows the Accord coupe concept to run 10-15 miles (in the city) and to a top speed of 62 mph on electric power alone. The battery takes 4 hours to recharge on 120V and less than 90 minutes on 240V.
Overall, no massive surprises here; powertrain advances like direct injection, the adoption of CVT and a 6-speed auto transmissions (finally), and a new plug-in hybrid setup have been expected, given increasingly ambitious MPG targets. Sticking with a V-6 powertrain while competitors downsize to turbo-fours may seem odd, but not when you consider that Honda has had one the best V-6s in the business. In addition, with competitors like Chevy and Hyundai dropping out the V-6 category, it makes the goal of "class leading fuel economy" that much easier.
On the safety and convenience side, Accord will now offer optional technology like a Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Forward Crash Warning (FCW), and blind spot monitoring systems that utilize front- and side-facing cameras. In addition, Bluetooth smartphone connectivity and Pandora Internet radio now come standard. No real groundbreakers here, just existing technology that's now available to the Accord masses.
More interesting is what Honda hinted at for the volume selling sedan. While the new coupe retains similar dimensions as the current generation, the sedan will have a smaller overall footprint, shorter wheelbase and reduced weight. Honda claims these changes will give it better handling and improved driving dynamics (and no doubt help with the fuel economy targets).
No word on when we'll actually see the next-generation Accord, as a Honda rep tells us there are no plans to show it at the Chicago or New York auto shows, but we did learn that the 2013 Accord Plug-in Hybrid sedan launches next winter.

We are considered as living' in the dry belt and the heavy rainfall this year is something- unusual and unexpected.

The land in our neighborhood is all taken up and I wouid not encourage anyone to ie up under the belief that ltjO-acre claims could be gotton for a song. It is true, that there, as in many other places, now and then, a holder of a 160 acre tract tires of the country and is willing to part with it for a small price; but such cases are so few and far between that it is an unprofitable task to tour the country in search of them. Half-section farms are things of the past. All available and vacant land is now in the hands of high priced locat- ers and speculators.

Mike Meyer returned last week from Bad Medicine lake where he was foreman of a so-called hoisting gang for the Nichols and Chisholm Lumber Co., of Pra/.ee. The duty of this crew was to load the logs from Bad Medicine lake onto flat cars. The log's were then transported by rail to Elbow Lake, a distance of sixteen miles, whence they were towed across Elbow lake down the Otter Tail River to the saw-milles at Pra- zee. Mike's crew hoisted 250, 000 feet of logs a dav, or 17, 000,000 feet this season. The estimated cost of transferring the logs from Bad Medi- cene lake to Elbow lake, Mike says, is about $4 00/per one thousand feet. No wonder it costs money to build.

Most residential insurance policies do not cover earthquake damage – a
separate earthquake policy is required. Without earthquake insurance to help you
cover the costs of repairs and other expenses that come with catastrophic damage, you will pay
out-of-pocket to fix your home, to replace your personal property, and to live and eat elsewhere.
If your home is damaged by an earthquake, the CEA can provide you with
the strength to rebuild. With nearly $10 billion in claim-paying power, combined with the service expertise provided
by its 19 participating insurance companies, the CEA could cover all of its claims if the 1906 San Francisco, 1989 Loma Prieta,
or 1994 Northridge earthquake reoccurred today.
The value of earthquake insurance...
Five reasons to buy CEA
earthquake insurance
1. Excellent financial ratings.
2. Expert service.
3. Rates based on science, not profit.
4. Not tied to government budgets.
5. Without earthquake insurance, the cost of any damage is your cost.

Unique cultures of South Africa
Did you know?
Our language is culturally diverse - with Zulu, English and Afrikaans words and phrases commonly used by all South Africans.
South Africa's cultural diversity often amazes visitors to the country. They are surprised to learn we have 11 different official languages, astonished to discover a Zulu-speaker of Indian or Chinese descent, and intrigued to see a priest clad in leopard skins reciting psalms.
Cultural diversity in South Africa is one of our greatest assets. We are a fascinating mix of indigenous inhabitants. There are the San and the Nguni (comprising the Zulu, Xhosa, Ndebele and Swazi people). There are the Sotho-Tswana, who include the southern, northern and western Sotho/Tswana people. There are the Tsonga and Venda. Then there are 'coloured' people of mixed race and immigrants from Europe, and Asia. As our democracy evolves, we are becoming ever more diverse, yet integrated.
To experience just how comfortable we are in our very mixed collective skins, just try our cuisine. We claim bobotie - a casserole of Malay origin - as our national dish. South Africans also love curry – a spicy bequest from our countrymen of Indian descent. For diverse and democratic dining, nothing beats a braai: from snoek on the coals in the Cape Flats to a 'shisa nyama' in the middle of Manguang (Bloemfontein).
Music speaks volumes about South Africa's diverse culture and our ability to celebrate our differences. This starts with our multilingual national anthem, 'Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika'. Turn on the radio and you'll hear kwaito, jazz, African gospel, classical, rock, pop, traditional music and more.
You'll find crossover pop songs by the likes of Freshly Ground, Lira, the Parlotones and JR on everyone's iPods. Not to mention million-album-selling artists like the internationally-acclaimed Ladysmith Black Mambazo and the Soweto Gospel Choir.
South Africa's cultural diversity is evident in the way we transform each other's cultural motifs – where else in the world could you see a German-designed BMW, manufactured outside Pretoria and hand painted by a famous Ndebele artist like Esther Mahlangu? Or see traditional Zulu weaving and beadwork beside a Picasso or a Pierneef in an art gallery?
On the catwalk, we love to show off South Africa's diverse culture, as African heritage meets high-end European couture to stunning effect. Walk the streets of any South African city and you'll see a fashion mélange of African beads, braids and patterns creatively combined with local and international designer labels for a look that's pure Mzansi.

Keith Olbermann -- formerly of MSNBC, formerly of Current TV, formerly of Fox, formerly of ESPN -- wants back in the game.
More to the point, he wants to return to his sports roots by reuniting with ESPN.
Now it would be easy to torpedo that idea by noting that Olbermann has burned bridges everywhere he has worked and could inflame things back at ESPN.
But I won't. Instead, I'm going to lead a chant: Let's Go Keith!!
It would be great fun to see him holding forth again on sporting matters. Is the guy supposed to stay sidelined for the rest of his life, just because he's got a bit of a temper? Don't the fans of America deserve better?
The New York Times reports that Olbermann recently had dinner with ESPN's president, John Skipper, who says they had a fine time. But they weren't just shooting the breeze: "Clearly he was looking to see if there was an entry point to come back," Skipper said. Olbermann, in turn, praised Skipper's "vision and charm."
So to put it in betting terms, what are the odds?
"There was no real appropriate place for Keith to come back, nor did I feel like I was prepared to bring him back," Skipper told the Times.
Wrong answer.
ESPN is in the business of covering athletic competition, right? What could be more spellbinding than waiting to see whether Olbermann declares some jock the "worst person in the world" or, even better, grabs a baseball bat in some confrontation with the bosses?

He claims he didn't manipulate climate data, but also concedes the Medieval Period likely saw temperatures as warm as the last decade or so of the twentieth century. Okay, the infamous "hockey stick" graph massaged out the Medieval temperature spike so create a more or less straight line in temps from the year 1,000 to 1900. He's admitting that there is a camel's hump in the middle of the hockey stick during the Medieval Period, but the numbers weren't manipulated??? Huh??? By the way, this is a HUGE story; making the Medieval warm spell go away is critical to the notion that only CO2 emissions and not natural trends in temps could be responsible for global warming in the latter half of the 20th century. This isn't a smoking gun, this is an admission of guilt! Will the MSM EVER notice the global warming fraud story???

An idea I had while on the boat here in Kéçi Bükü. Not the greatest photo, but you know, no scanner.
But that is the view from where I am, not bad... not bad.
