Here is a great article that was in the recent Sunday Press Democrat about a farmer in Oregon who has a special relationship with his herd...even naming each and every one. He's gotta be a very creative individual since he says he names every single 230 jersey milk cows and 200 heifers and calves!
There's even a Pasta and Pesto!
When the milkers lose their production value...he uses them to suckle steers, postponing selling them to market as long as he can keep them economically viable. And if there is a special one...well, she may just be exchanged for some ham to a someone with a small farm so she can live out her life with dignity.
As the article states, Bob the farmer: " is an example of a farmer who has figured out how to make a good living running a farm that is efficient but also has soul."
Enjoy. I did.

YAMHILL, Ore.
Food can be depressing. If it's tasty, it's carcinogenic. If it's cheap, animals were tortured.
But this, miraculously, is a happy column about food. It's about a farmer who names all his 230 milk cows, along with his 200 heifers and calves, and loves them like children.
Let me introduce Bob Bansen, a high school buddy of mine who is a third-generation dairyman raising Jersey cows on lovely green pastures here in Oregon beside the Yamhill River. Bob, 53, a lanky, self-deprecating man with an easy laugh, is an example of a farmer who has figured out how to make a good living running a farm that is efficient but also has soul.
As long as I've known him, Bob has had names for every one of his "girls," as he calls his cows. Walk through the pasture with him, and he'll introduce you to them.
"I spend every day with these girls," Bob explained. "I know most of my cows both by the head and by the udder. You learn to recognize them from both directions."
"This is Hosta," he began, and then started pointing out the others nearby. "Jill. Sophia. This is Kimona. Edie would be the spotted one lying there. Pesto is the black one standing up. In front of her is Clare. Next to her is Pasta, who is Pesto's daughter."
I asked about Jill, and Bob rattled off her specs. She is now producing about eight gallons a day, with particularly high protein and butterfat content. Jill's mother was Jolly, a favorite of Bob's. When Jolly grew old and unproductive, he traded her to a small family farm in exchange for a ham so she could live out her retirement with dignity.
When I pushed for Bob's secret to tell the cows apart, he explained: "They have family resemblances. They look like their mothers."
Oh, that helps.
As a farmkid myself, growing up with Bob here in the rolling green hills of Yamhill, where the Willamette Valley meets the coastal range, I've been saddened to see American farms turn into food factories. Just this year, I've written about hens jammed in cages, with dead birds left to rot beside the survivors, and about industrial farms that try to gain a financial edge by pumping chickens full of arsenic, antibiotics, Tylenol and even Prozac.
Yet all is not lost. Family farms can still thrive while caring for animals and producing safe and healthy food.
For Bob, a crucial step came when he switched to organic production eight years ago. A Stanford study has cast doubt on whether organic food is more nutritious, but it affirms that organic food does contain fewer pesticides and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Bob's big worry in switching to organic production was whether cows would stay healthy without routine use of antibiotics because pharmaceutical salesmen were always pushing them as essential. Indeed, about 80 percent of antibiotics in the United States go to farm animals — leading to the risk of more antibiotic-resistant microbes, which already cause infections that kill some 100,000 Americans annually.
Bob nervously began to experiment by withholding antibiotics. To his astonishment, the cows didn't get infections; on the contrary, their health improved. He realized that by inserting antibiotics, he may have been introducing pathogens into the udder. As long as cows are kept clean and are given pasture rather than cooped up in filthy barns, there's no need to shower them with antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals, he says.
Many cows in America now live out their lives in huge dairy barns, eating grain and hay and pumping out milk. But evidence is growing that cows don't do well when locked up, so now many dairies are reverting to the traditional approach of sending cows out to pasture on grass.
"Pasture does wonders for cow health," Bob said. "There's so much evidence that they are much happier out there. You can extend their lives so much by keeping them off concrete, so the trend is going that way."
Is it a soggy sentimentality for farmers to want their cows to be happy? Shouldn't a businessman just worry about the bottom line?
Bob frowned. "For productivity, it's important to have happy cows," he said. "If a cow is at her maximum health and her maximum contentedness, she's profitable. I don't even really manage my farm so much from a fiscal standpoint as from a cow standpoint, because I know that, if I take care of those cows, the bottom line will take care of itself."
This isn't to say that Bob's farm is a charity hostel. When cows age and their milk production drops, farmers slaughter them. Bob has always found that part of dairying tough, so, increasingly, he uses the older cows to suckle steers. That way the geriatric cows bring in revenue to cover their expenses and their day of reckoning can be postponed — indefinitely, in the case of his favorite cows.
I teased Bob about running a bovine retirement home, and he smiled unapologetically.
"I feel good about it," he said simply. "They support me as much as I support them, so it's easy to get attached to them. I want to work hard for them because they've taken good care of me."
Like many farmers, Bob frets about regulations and reporting requirements, but he also sympathizes with recent animal rights laws meant to improve the treatment of livestock and poultry.
"You hate to have it go to legislation, but we need to protect the animals," he said. "They're living things, and you have to treat them right."
Granted, such a humane attitude may be easier to apply to dairying than to poultry. It's tough for cage-free poultry farms to compete economically with huge industrial operations that raise millions of birds jammed into cages, and healthy food that is good for humans and animals in some cases will cost more.
Moreover, we're never going to revert to the kind of agriculture that existed a century ago. Bob's 600 acres used to be farmed by five different families, and that consolidation won't be undone. But neither is it inevitable that consolidation will continue indefinitely so that America's farms end up as vast, industrial, soulless food factories.
I loved growing up on a sheep and cherry farm, even if that did mean getting up at 3 a.m. in the winter to check for newborn lambs, and I hope medium-size family farms remain a pillar of rural America. As Bob's dairy shows, food need not come at the cost of animal or human health and welfare. We need not wince when we contemplate where our food comes from.
The next time you drink an Organic Valley glass of milk, it may have come from one of Bob's cows. If so, you can bet it was a happy cow. And it has a name.

Ute Blouse from the 50s
Added Aug 13, 2010
by juebejue
San Jose, Califo...
I had been recently obsessed with tie-front blouses, not sure if its because I had been watching Mad Men, or its the many tie-blouses I had been drooling after on burdastyle. However, I had no idea how they attach that tie to the neck line so nicely! So I got a Ute pattern from Burdastyle, and I made this.
I made almost no alteration except that I used sleeves from JJ and shortened the tie part. The scarf part is made from silk chiffon and the rest is made from some kind of silk with seashell weaving on it. I printed out the UTE pattern at 91% as usual so that I dont have to adjust the pattern for height, and the blouse came out fitting perfectly.

I'm a sucker for a blouse with a bow tie collar! It looks great with your Kasia skirt, too!
Aug 13, 2010, 03.36 PMby kayla-day
Yes, they really do look lovely together. You've inspired me to try the same one day! And clever thinking with the 91% reduction to fit you perfectly! Did you figure that out with pure maths or did you just wing it? :-)

Hogs make preseason SEC list
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - The University of Arkansas football team had 10 student-athletes voted to the 2012 SEC Coaches Preseason All-SEC Team, which was announced Thursday.
The Razorbacks had four representatives on the first team, three on the second team and three on the third team. The 10 selections rank as the third-highest total in the conference, trailing only the 11 members of the team from Alabama and LSU.
Quarterback Tyler Wilson, running back Knile Davis and wide receiver Cobi Hamilton were named to the first-team offense and were joined on the first-team by running back/kick returner Dennis Johnson in the all-purpose slot. Tight end Chris Gragg, offensive guard Alvin Bailey and linebacker Alonzo Highsmith are on the second-team, with center Travis Swanson, punter Dylan Breeding and kicker Zach Hocker earning third-team nods.
Wilson is the only Razorback in school history to be named first-team All-SEC quarterback, an honor he earned in 2011 after leading Arkansas to a school-record-tying 11 wins in his first season as a starter. The senior from Greenwood, Ark., holds nine school records, including career completion percentage, and has produced three of the top-five single-game completions marks in school history. He also ranks in the top 10 in school history in career touchdown passes, career pass completions and career pass attempts. He finished the 2011 season 277-of-438 passing for 3,638 yards, leading the SEC with an average of 279.8 per game, and 24 touchdowns with six interceptions, becoming just the second Razorback to pass for 3,000 yards in a season and leading the SEC with the eighth-highest single-season passing yards total in conference history. He also led the SEC in total offense per game, completions and pass efficiency rating. Wilson's attempt-to-interceptions ratio of 1:73 was the third-best in SEC history with a minimum of 300 attempts and the fourth-best in conference history with a minimum of 200 attempts. Earlier this week, he was named to the Maxwell Award Watch List.
Davis was a first-team All-SEC selection by the Associated Press in 2010, when he led all SEC running backs with 1,322 yards on the ground, the fourth-highest single-season total in school history. The junior from Missouri City, Texas, was named to numerous preseason All-America and All-SEC teams as well as watch lists for the Doak Walker, Maxwell and Walter Camp awards in 2011 before suffering an injury during a preseason scrimmage that forced him to miss the entire season. In 2010, his average of 101.7 rushing yards per game ranked second in the SEC and 16th in the NCAA. His 6.48 yards per rushing attempt was the highest in the NCAA among running backs that carried the ball at least 200 times and ranked as the fifth-highest single-season average at Arkansas. He ended the season with five consecutive 100-yard rushing games, and his 157.8 rushing yards per game in November made him the only SEC player to average 100 yards per game on the ground in the season's final full month. Earlier this week, he was again named to the Maxwell Award Watch List.
Hamilton made a career-high 34 receptions in 2011 for 542 yards and four touchdowns. The senior from Texarkana, Texas, ranked fifth in the SEC last season with an average of 15.9 yards per catch, and his career average of 17.9 yards per reception is the highest among current Razorbacks. He enters the 2012 season with a streak of at least one reception in 22 straight games and is ninth on Arkansas' all-time career 100-yard receiving games list with four. Hamilton also is tied for 11th all-time in school history with 13 receiving touchdowns in his career and is 15th on UA's all-time career receiving yards list with 1,519. In 2011, he totaled a season-high 132 receiving yards on a season-high five catches with one touchdown in the 52-3 win vs. New Mexico and the next week tied his season high with five receptions for 82 yards in a 38-28 win vs. Troy. He was named to the Maxwell Award Watch List earlier this week.
Johnson enters the 2012 season as the SEC's active career leader in all-purpose yards with 4,104, kickoff return yards with 2,475 and total return yards with 2,475 and is tied for fourth on the SEC's all-time career list with three kick return touchdowns. The senior from Texarkana, Ark., was named second-team All-SEC all-purpose player by the Associated Press in 2011 after he ranked in the top 10 in the conference in all-purpose yards per game, kickoff return average and rushing yards per game. His average of 126.0 all-purpose yards per game ranked second in the SEC, while his average of 25.61 yards per kickoff return, the third-highest single-season average in Arkansas history, was third in the conference and 29th in the country and his 60.1 rushing yards per game were seventh in the SEC. His average of 6.32 yards per carry was the highest in the SEC among runners with at least 100 carries and fourth overall in the conference. He was the first Razorback to be named SEC Special Teams Player of the Week three times in a career, and his five career SEC Player of the Week selections, including one Freshman of the Week and one Offensive Player of the Week, are tied with Darren McFadden for the most in school history.
Gragg is the Razorbacks' leading returning receiver from last season as he caught a single-season career-high 41 passes, ranking third on the team, for a career-high 518 yards, which was the fourth-highest total among Razorbacks in 2011. The Warren, Ark., native tied for 11th in the SEC with his average of 3.2 receptions per game, and his 39.8 receiving yards per game ranked 14th in the conference. In his career, he has caught 50 passes for 714 yards and four touchdowns. Gragg had five games with at least four receptions in 2011, including a single-game career-high eight for a career-high 119 yards and one touchdown in UA's 44-17 victory over Mississippi State. He was included on the Mackey Award Watch List released earlier this week.
Bailey was named an All-American by Pro Football Weekly and a second-team All-SEC performer in 2011, when he started all 13 games as part of an offensive line that allowed the offense to break 16 game or season school records. The junior from Broken Arrow, Okla., has started all 26 games of his Razorback career and blocked consecutive seasons with a 3,000-yard passer, including the first season in school history with a 3,000-yard passer and a 1,000-yard rusher in 2010. Arkansas led the SEC in total offense, passing offense and scoring offense to become just the fifth different school, and first since 2001, to lead the conference in all three categories in a single season and became the sixth team in conference history, and second since 1992, to lead the SEC in passing offense for three straight seasons. The Razorbacks ranked 13th in the country with their average of 300.7 passing yards per game, 15th in the nation with an average of 36.8 points per game and 29th in the NCAA with an average of 438.1 yards of total offense per game.
Highsmith started all 13 games of his first season at Arkansas and finished 2011 first on the team and 10th in the SEC with 12.5 tackles for loss. The senior from Missouri City, Texas, recorded 80 tackles, including 12.5 for loss with 4.5 sacks, two quarterback hurries, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, one interception and one pass breakup. His sack total was second on the team, and his tackle total ranked third on the team. He made a career-high 12 tackles, including a career-high-tying 2.0 tackles for loss, in the 38-14 win vs. No. 15 Auburn. He scored his first touchdown as a Razorback on a 47-yard fumble return and also made seven tackles with 0.5 sack at No. 1 LSU. He opened the season with four tackles and 2.0 for loss, which was the third-highest TFL total by an SEC player in the season's first week, in a 51-7 win vs. Missouri State. The next week, he started a stretch of six straight games with at least five tackles by making five stops in the 52-3 victory vs. New Mexico.
Swanson, who was named to the Rimington Trophy Watch List earlier this week, has started all 26 games of his career and blocked for consecutive seasons with a 3,000-yard passer, including the first season in school history with a 3,000-yard passer and a 1,000-yard rusher in 2010. The Kingwood, Texas, native was part of an offensive line that allowed the offense to break 16 game or season school records in 2011 and produce a 3,000-yard passer for the third straight season. Arkansas led the SEC in total offense, passing offense and scoring offense to become just the fifth different school, and first since 2001, to lead the conference in all three categories in a single season and the sixth team in conference history, and second since 1992, to lead the SEC in passing offense for three straight seasons. The Razorbacks ranked 13th in the country with their average of 300.7 passing yards per game, 15th in the nation with an average of 36.8 points per game and 29th in the NCAA with an average of 438.1 yards of total offense per game.
Breeding was a second-team All-SEC performer in 2011, when he averaged 45.3 yards per punt with a long of 70 yards. His average was the third-highest single-season average in school history, led the SEC and ranked seventh in the NCAA. The Hoover, Ala., native became the first punter in school history to lead the SEC in punting average and the first to top the conference since Greg Horne led the Southwest Conference in 1986. Breeding boomed 17 punts of 50 yards or longer, dropped 16 inside the 20-yard line with just three touchbacks and had 16 punts result in a fair catch. He averaged at least 40 yards per punt in each game he attempted a punt and registered a single-game career-high average of 50.4 yards per punt, including a career-long 70 yarder, on five punts at No.1 LSU. Entering the 2012 season, Breeding ranks fifth all-time at Arkansas in career punts, career punt yardage and career punt average. He was one of 25 punters included on the Ray Guy Award Watch List released earlier this week.
Hocker broke the Arkansas single-season record for points by a kicker last season with 118 points. The Russellville, Ark., native led all SEC kickers, was second overall in the conference and 17th in the NCAA with his average of 9.1 points per game. He also tied for second in the SEC and for 11th in the NCAA with 1.6 made field goals per game. He added kickoff duties for the first time as a collegian in 2011 and his 40 touchbacks were the most in the SEC and ranked second in the NCAA, and his touchback percentage of 43.01 was second in the conference and third in the country. He scored a career-high 14 points, which tied for sixth on Arkansas' single-game kick scoring list, in wins vs. No. 10 South Carolina and vs. Mississippi State and tied an AT&T Cotton Bowl record with three made field goals in the victory vs. No. 11 Kansas State. Entering the 2012 season, he holds the Arkansas record for career field goal percentage (min. 20 made) at 80.4. He also ranks in the top 10 on the school's career lists for PAT kicks made, points, field goals made, PAT attempts and career field goal attempts and was named to the Lou Groza Award Watch List earlier this week.
The SEC Coaches Preseason All-SEC Team is announced each year in advance of SEC Football Media Days. This year, the event is July 17-19 with Arkansas appearing on July 18 from 10:50 a.m.-1:30 p.m.

An American Great Grandmother
I cannot imagine the United States of America without Katherine Banks. You ask, who is Katherine Banks? Katherine lived around three hundred and fifty years ago in 17th Century Virginia. So why is this Virginia lady so significant and what does she have to do with the history of east-central Georgia? Well, she has nothing to do directly with the history of our area, but without her, the face of the history of America, and the world for that matter, would have been vastly different. What did she do? Well, I will tell you.
Katherine Banks was born into a prosperous family in Canterbury, England in County Kent in 1627, the same year the Massachusetts Bay Colony had been chartered to colonize the eastern coast of North America. Her father, Christopher Banks, was one of England's most influential commoners in his position with the Old London Company, which financed the settlement of Jamestown and Virginia.
Sometime in the early 1640s, Katherine journeyed to America, landing in Charles City County, west of Jamestown on the James River. It was not long after her arrival that she married her cousin, Joseph Royall, twice a widower and 27 years her senior. Royall had come to Jamestown aboard the Charitie in July 1622, just after Powhatan Chief Opechancanough had murdered three hundred and forty-seven colonists. Royall survived "the burning fever," which killed even more settlers. By transporting colonists to Virginia, Joseph Royall was able to accumulate a large plantation, which he called "Doghams" after the French river D'Augham, on the James River above Shirley and opposite current day Hopewell, Virginia.
Joseph Royall died in the mid 1650s. As was the custom in those days, his wife's dower from his estate passed to her during her widowhood. When Katherine married Henry Isham in 1656, Royall's estate passed to Isham, who immediately added another wing to his residence on Bermuda Hundred.
From their luxurious home encircled by tall pines and a extensive English flower garden, the Ishams became leaders of Virginia society. It has been said that Katherine Banks Royall Isham was the wealthiest woman in America. Her father gave her one of the first English coaches to be used in the colonies. It was described as cumbrous and capacious. It held six individuals, three on a seat opposite one another. Two others could sit on stools which faced the doors. Its body was hung high on large springs and was entered by steps. The lining was made of cream-colored cloth. Silver trimmings, cords and tassels accented the exquisite exterior. The driver and the footman sat on the front, while luggage was carried in the rear.
As the fall weather began to cool the shores of the James River, Katherine made out her last will and testament. Three hundred and twenty three years ago today, Joseph Royall, Jr. and Francis Eppes walked into the court of Henrico County to probate her generous and loving testament to her children and grandchildren. Her bequests of exquisite and valuable heirlooms paled in comparison to the true legacy of this little known woman.
By her first husband, Katherine gave birth to six children, Joseph, John, Sarah, Katherine and two other unknown daughters. With Henry, Katherine had Henry, Jr. and Anne. But by far, her most famous child was Mary Isham. Mary was a much courted belle of Virginia. Suitors swarmed to get a glance of this charming young woman, who played the cittern, a three-stringed early version of the mandolin. Mary captured the heart of the wealthy William Randolph of Turkey Island. Over the next three centuries, the couple would come to be known as "the Adam and Eve of Virginia." Now, you will see why.
The Randolphs were the parents of ten children, most notably Isham Randolph. His daughter Jane married Peter Jefferson. They were the parents of President Thomas Jefferson. Elizabeth, daughter of William and Mary Randolph, married Richard Bland. They were the great-great grandparents of the noble and the revered, General Robert Edward Lee. William and Mary's son Thomas was the great-grandfather of John Marshall, the nation's longest serving Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. In point of fact, Katherine's descendants included the wives of both President Jefferson and General Lee. You can see why the Randolphs are the closest thing to royalty that Virginia ever had.
I will dispense with all the begats, the great-greats and the removed cousins and simply say that among the most well known descendants of Katherine Banks Royall Isham are presidents John F. Kennedy and Jimmy Carter, first lady Edith Wilson, authors William Faulkner, Willa Cather, Robert Penn Warren and Ray Badbury. Among the most interesting name on the list is Booker Talieferro Washington, a former slave, who became a highly revered educator, author and political leader. There are many, many more. Their names have not yet been entered in the files of ancestry.com. So for now, I will stop here.
Why would anyone care about Katherine Banks? She was never memorialized in the annals of early American history. All she did was live a good life and have children. And, that's just the point. All of us have a purpose on the Earth. As we go about our daily lives, we never stop to imagine that our descendants, close and remote, can play a pivotal role in the history of our country.
Can you imagine the Declaration of Independence written by someone else other than Thomas Jefferson? Can you imagine the Civil War without Robert E. Lee? Can you imagine the emergence of the Supreme Court without Chief Justice John Marshall? I cannot.
Maybe you can conceive of the world of literature without the names of Bradbury, Faulkner, Cather and Warren, but it would have been a far poorer one.
I can't envision the world without the leadership and brilliance of Booker T. Washington. I can't envision the world without John F. Kennedy. Would there have even been a man on the moon? Would Richard Nixon have been elected president in 1960? Would their have ever been a war in Vietnam or the turbulent times of the 1960s?
I can't imagine a world without these exceptional Americans who descended from the forgotten Katherine Banks Royall Isham. You see, I couldn't visualize these thoughts at all if it were not for Katherine, who was my eighth great-grandmother.
Study the history of your family. Learn where you came from so that you can know where you are going. Everyone's families are no more important than any others. It is up to you. Serve your community now. Don't rest of the accolades of your ancestors or wait on the achievements of your remotest descendants. Who knows what they may learn from you?

Dear Answer Angel Ellen: I want to try layering necklaces, but I am clueless on how to do it. Can you help?
— Patricia
Dear Patricia: At your service! You've heard me say this before: In fashion, there are no rules. But guidelines can be useful. Here are a few on your layering question:
-Pick necklaces with a common element: same color metal or stones, ethnic influenced, biker, etc.
-Use different lengths (so they don't tangle), with at least a couple inches between them; double them if they're too long.
-Vary textures; alternate delicate and chunky.
-Mix your message: a heart charm on one chain, handcuffs or a skull charm on another; a peace symbol on a third.
-Watch Internet layering tutorials like PopSugar's on YouTube or Stella & Dot (stelladot.com).
If it's still daunting, you can cave and buy one multistrand necklace with different elements that make it look layered without the fuss (or fun) of DIY.
Dear Answer Angel Ellen: I want to look great and feel comfortable and good. I'm attending a special event and want to find a dress that doesn't look two sizes too small, low-cut, frumpy or too short. I want to find a personal shopper to give me an honest opinion and help me to look the best I can look. Do you think stores like Macy's and Nordstrom are a good bet to find a personal shopper? I want an honest opinion, not someone who is trying to sell me their store stock. Are there private personal shoppers who are affordable and will work with you for one occasion?
— Carol H.
Dear Carol: You can't beat the price of department store personal shoppers. They're free! I've had good luck with them at Macy's, Nordstrom and, especially, Bloomingdale's. But when you make your appointment, you need to be clear on what you're looking for. (A new wardrobe? Something for a specific occasion? A few core basics?) And be explicit about what you're willing to spend. Department store personal shoppers usually do not work on commission, so they won't be trying to sell you a fur coat when all you want is a sweater. It's not in their best interest to sell you something that doesn't make you happy. After all, they do want you to keep coming back. (They have annual sales targets to meet.) If you don't like the first shopper you work with, shop around for another at a different store. A good personal shopper will learn your taste and alert you to sales. As to your question about private personal shoppers, they aren't cheap (often $50 an hour and up), so I'd try my luck with department stores first.
Dear Answer Angel Ellen: Do you think that an older woman needs to wear heavier or lighter foundation? I am never sure what to buy. (I am 68, have been told I look much younger and am still very much out in the working world.) Any thoughts?
Dear P.Y.: As we age, when it comes to makeup, usually less is better. Heavy foundation (and powder) can call attention to facial lines (aka wrinkles). Instead, consider a tinted moisturizer as close to your skin tone as possible.
These provide some coverage but are lighter than traditional foundation. Drugstores have numerous brands in the $10 to $15 range, and cosmetics superstores like Ulta and Sephora have even more options.
But beware, you'll have a tough time locating it because tinted moisturizer is often not called that. Cosmetics manufacturers have renamed the stuff BB cream or CC cream. I can't find much difference between BBs and CCs, but the coverage varies hugely from brand to brand.
I tested 10 from the drugstore and found that Revlon and Garnier BBs and Olay CC were my favorites.
Angelic Readers
For the reader who needed suggestions to cope with skimpy eyelashes, Marla F. suggests L'Oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes mascara. She says: "It makes a difference that I can see and washes off with soap and water … with no raccoon eye!"
Joyce W. writes: "One more option in addition to the strip lashes or those applied by a professional in a salon are the type I have worn for over 35 years. They are individual lashes that I apply myself with help from a magnifying mirror and a tweezers. They're Andrea Perma-Lash, widely available in different lengths. You would need to purchase a tube of individual lash adhesive. I use dark tone Duo, and it isn't necessary to wear eyeliner to conceal the glue. Both products are inexpensive and sold at drugstores and amazon.com. The lashes lay on top of your own lashes and with a little practice are easy enough to do, and they don't look Kardashian at all! They last for several weeks, although you may have to replace a few here and there. The only thing you have to be wary of is any oil-based makeup product or eye makeup removal pads. (Oil takes them off.) Just another alternative!"
Reader Rants
"Mick K. had a recent rant about black fingernail and toenail polish, said it looks 'dirty'. Well, I'd like to expand on that and add my personal rant: How about no pedi, period! Seems like every summer during sandal season we're all 'treated' to the sight of some really gross feet. The sign of some people's feet in their uncared-for state is really stomach turning! So if you're going to put your feet on display, please, please get a pedi. They're not that expensive; I go to a place that does a fine job for $20. Makes me feel like a million bucks and makes my feet look likewise!"
— Donna H.
And, finally…
Dear Answer Angel Ellen: I love your columns, but you wrote, "Me and my sister Claire …"? Really? How about "My sister Claire and I"?
— Fan Anyway
Dear Fan: Shame on me. The nuns at Immaculata High School would be unhinged by my poor grammar. And so am I.

PMS vs. PMDD - What's the Difference?
Ms. B.T. is 38 years old. Her co-workers always seem to know when she has her period. During this time, she becomes extremely irritable. She feels guilty because she gets very angry at her children for no logical reason or for apparently trivial reasons. In fact, one of her coworkers, with whom she is quite friendly, suggested she come in before her supervisor noticed problems on the job. She heard that there is a severe version of PMS that requires special treatment.

Join the 3rd annual John's March Against Stomach Cancer at Sonoma Raceway
Sonoma Raceway lost one of its most visible and devoted staff members last year when longtime Vice President of Media and Community Relations, John Cardinale, passed away after a two-year battle with Stage IV stomach cancer.
Cardinale is one of nearly 11,000 people who will die from stomach cancer in the U.S. this year, and the raceway will continue its efforts to battle the deadly disease at the 3rd annual John March Against Stomach Cancer on Saturday, Jan. 18.
This unique fundraiser offers the public a chance to help raise funds for No Stomach for Cancer (www.nostomachforcancer.org) and enjoy a symbolic "march" around the raceway's 12-turn, 2.52-mile road course. John's March has raised nearly $29,000 over the past two years.
No Stomach for Cancer is a non-profit group that works to increase awareness and education about stomach cancer, provide a support network for affected families and support research efforts for screening, early detection, treatment and prevention of stomach cancer.
Stomach cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the world, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information. The American Cancer Society estimates there are one million new cases diagnosed in the world each year, with more than 800,000 deaths annually, yet it is one of the least funded cancers, in terms of research.
"I had the privilege of meeting John in person at last year's March and will never forget the passion with which he spoke about not only raising awareness for the cause but about the power of the human spirit," remarked No Stomach For Cancer Board Chair Beth Lambert. "Although people were there to raise awareness about stomach cancer and funds for research, John reminded them, showed them through his example, the importance of helping one another, even during the darkest moments."
The public can participate in the event for a suggested minimum donation of $40, which includes the walk/run around the 2.52-mile road course, a T-shirt and light refreshments following the march. A shorter, less hilly course will also be available for those who cannot complete the 2.52 miles. The raceway's Wine Country Winner's Circle will be available for those who want to take pictures before/after the march. Children, pets, everyone is welcome (no scooters or skateboards will be allowed on track).
Registration begins at 7:30 a.m. and the march will begin at 9 a.m. No advance donation/registration is required; just show up the day of the event. Please note: only cash and checks will be accepted. Checks should be made payable to No Stomach for Cancer, Inc.
If you cannot attend but would like to make a donation in honor of this event, please print and complete the John's March Against Stomach Cancer donation form at www.nostomachforcancer.org/support-us/events and mail it with your check, payable to No Stomach for Cancer, Inc. All donations will be acknowledged.
For more information on the event, please contact Diana Brennan at email@example.com or 707-933-3918.

Rating 4.5/5 Word Count 1417 Review this Chapter
Bella Cullen's POV
"Jasper! Alice! Come here!" I called. My two children, both eternally fifteen, were playing upstairs. They came running down, their golden eyes shinning.I had been married to Edward for nineteen years. Then we adopted twins. Jasper Emmet Cullen and Alice Rosalie Cullen. They meant the world to Edward and me.
"What mom?" Alice asked. It still gave me chills to hear her call me that.
"We're going to visit Jacob Black," I announced. Once I had been made a vampire, we had moved just outside the city, where we wouldn't be breaking the treaty, but could still keep an eye on the town.
They both gaped. "But he's a dog," Jasper whined. I silenced him with a glare.
"He was my best friend, okay? Daddy's out hunting, and I am taking you," I said.
"Aunt Alice let you?" Alice said doubtfully. I nodded. Alice knew I was capable of protecting myself and my children. I was so excited. I hadn't seen Jake in.....forever. But I knew he was still in LaPush. I had called Billy to make sure, and asked him to tell Jake to come to the city line, where we wouldn't be breaking the treaty.
As I drove to the border in my old truck, the butterflies came to me. This was dangerous, I knew, but I needed to see Jake. Now.
Jacob Black's POV
As I drove to the Forks city line, I puzzled over why I was going. All Billy said was that I needed to be here, and he convinced me to go. Then I saw a truck stop at the side of the road. I nearly fainted when I saw who it was. Bella. And boy, did she reek. She was a bloodsucker now.
The strange thing was, she didn't look mad at me, and I didn't feel the urge to kill her. Just Cullen. Always Cullen.
There were two beautiful children that stumbled out of the truck and looked around. I didn't really pay attention to them. All I cared about was Bella. I ran out of the car and faced Bella."Bella!" I yelled happily.
"Oh, Jake," she said as she hugged me. She was so solid, so.....marble. She wasn't as fragile. "These are my adopted children, Jasper Emmet Cullen and Alice Rosalie Cullen. Kids, this is Jacob Black."
I blinked as I looked at the boy. He looked very disinterested, if not very displeased to be here. Then I looked at the girl. My heart caught in my throat. So this is it.
I think I just imprinted. On a vampire. Wonderful. I wanted to hug her, kiss her, and be with her forever. My past didn't matter. Only my future with this girl....Alice.
"Bella, can we talk privately?" I asked.
"Sure Jake," she said, confused.
Alice R. Cullen's POV
I watched my mother walk far away with Jacob. It was no good. She knew I could read minds.
I must say that Jacob seems quite taken with me. The whole time he stared at me. My mother was furiously dividing fractions in her head. My ability would not work on Jacob.
Now that I had met Jacob Black, I realized he was not as bad as I thought. Probably because he focused on me the whole time.
We were fairly well trained for five year old vampires. We had stopped aging, and that was fine with me. Carlisle said I wouldn't be able to go to school for another year; we were home schooled for now.
Jasper, I thought, have you ever heard of imprinting? I had caught a flicker of her thoughts suddenly.
Alice, mom gave up. It'll tell you everything, he thought, and I turned my thoughts toward mom......can't believe he imprinted on my daughter! And how can he? She's a vampire for God's sake!
"Jasper! What is imprinting?!" I said, scared now.
He sighed as he turned to face me. "It means basically that he fell in love with you. But more powerful. You're soul mates."
I felt like a train had hit me, knocking the breath out of me, but leaving me standing.
"What?" I whispered, and then angrily pushed into mom's mind.
"Did anyone ever tell you...Have you ever heard of imprinting?" Jacob asked.
"No. What is it?" she replied.
"We don't exactly know why...we find our mates that way. Our soul mates." I realized that he had loved my mother. I shuddered and concentrated on the memory.
"What way? Love at first sight?" She laughed.
Jacob wasn't smiling. He was angry at her reaction. "It's a little bit more powerful than that."
"Love at first sight? But more powerful?"
"It's not easy to explain. Quil imprinted on Claire."
"Wait- doesn't Claire have a choice?"
"Well, why wouldn't she choose him in the end?" I watched my mother contemplate that.I pulled out of the memory.
Jacob Black, werewolf, had imprinted on me. Alice Cullen. Vampire. It was unreal! The rest of my existence was planned, it seemed. Jasper snickered.
"Can I be the best man?" He teased. I sighed. What was going to happen now? Would I even like Jacob? I didn't even know him!
Bella Cullen's POV
"Jake are you sure?" I asked for the millionth time. I just couldn't come to terms with the fact that he had imprinted on my daughter, the vampire.
"Bella, I'm positive. I'm sorry. I don't know how I could imprint on one of you, but it just happened," he said.
I sighed. "I'm sorry we couldn't have a better reunion, but my daughter and son will know all about this by now. They can read minds, and I can only distract them for so long."
"You're so....unbreakable. I miss what you were," Jake said absentmindedly.I didn't answer for a while.
"So, what now?" I asked, glimpsing Alice's confused expression.
"Well, you could actually let me talk to her," he said eagerly. I led him away from where we were standing to Alice and Jasper. Jake resumed staring at her, looking at her like she was the only being in existence.
"Uh, hi Jacob," Alice said awkwardly. I could tell, for her sanity, she was trying not to attempt reading his mind. I knew she could not.
"Hello Alice," Jake said lovingly. He really loved her. This was too much.
"Well, we'll leave you guys alone. Jacob, you can drive her back to our house in a few hours. She knows the way. Come on Jasper," I babbled. Jasper followed me into the car, bewildered. I quickly drove away.
"Mom, you loved Jacob Black," Jasper said. It wasn't a question, it was a statement.
"It wasn't good enough," I whispered. The rest of the ride home was very quiet. When I got there, Edward was back. I greeted him with a kiss. Jasper ran upstairs, probably for another arm wrestle with Emmet.
"Where were you," he murmured, arms wrapped around me.
"Er-I met Jacob at the city line," I said. Edward sighed.
"Love, you seem unsettled. What happened?"
I cringed. "Jake imprinted."
"That's-er-good. On who?"
"Alice." Was all I said, and Edward immediately headed for the door. "Wait-Edward," I said, and he froze. "She can handle this. And if she loves him that's a good thing!"
"But how-on Alice-vampire!" he fumed. "The rest of our child's future will be gone!"
"I know Edward. But we have to let them do what they want. It's not Jacob's fault he imprinted. There's nothing we can do until Alice comes back. Just trust her on this," I said, and Edward was visibly calming down.
"Fine. But if she looks upset or gets hurt-"
"Do you really think that's likely? Besides, Jacob wasn't even shaking as he hugged me!"
"Okay love," he said.
Alice R. Cullen's POV
Jacob was turning out to be great. He was funny, nice, and perfect. We were perfectly matched for each other. He had many stories of him and Bella and the pack.
"So she actually broke her hand?" I said.
"Yeah. Punched me right in the chest," Jacob replied. He was telling me about their disastrous first 'kiss.'I laughed. I probably could learn to love this guy.
All I worried as he drove me home was how my father would react. He tended to be very...protective.
As we approached the door to my house, Jacob stooped down and kissed my cheek. I smiled.
"We can do this," he whispered. He knew I was worried.Jacob squeezed my hand as I rang the doorbell.The door swung open.
"Hello dog," my father sneered.

"Today, I want to share a bit more detail about the growing Surface family of products and Surface with Windows 8 Pro, specifically around pricing. In January, Surface with Windows 8 Pro will be available in two versions and pricing will start at $899." Stefan Constantine noted on Twitter: "For the price of a Surface Pro ($899), you could buy a Nexus 4 ($349), Nexus 7 ($299), and a Chromebook ($249). Do the math." No matter how hard people are going to shout the Surface Pro is an ultrabook competitor, people will compare it to an iPad.

If you attach external keyboard, mouse and display, then it should be possible to turn this little fellow to full blown workstation - good for coding, and then just pick it up and go. Better than current laptops, as I've used a laptop for my work machine for several years now.
The non-magnetized cover however seems to be a problem as it does not want to stay put

If you don't already read Grumpy, do so! its like having a conversation with someone. He posted about something I have been suspecting myself. That the LFR loot system seems to somehow give loot to the player trying the least (or not knowing how to play their class). While this is speculation bordering on conspiracy theory, I have seen it more than once.
When I first started to get into LFR with my toons, I was on the low side of the totem pole. I had no heroic gear on any of my toons and only my priest had a four piece from Firelands. Those first couple of weeks I got a lot of drops because most of the time my numbers were bellow those epic filled people.
Now every time I go into the LFR even with guildies we top the charts. I assume that most people running regular or heroic DS don't run LFR anymore (or as much.) We seem to not get look anymore, even though we are missing either 1/2 pieces or basically just valor capping.
I am all for accessibility in a game, but I am not ok with rewarding people that don't even try.
Now that is extremely subjective. To me someone that does not try is someone that is doing less than 10K DPS… but to someone else that might be someone that is not fully gemmed and enchanted.
I guess this is giving me a new perspective on what it means for others to reward bad play.
As much as I want to seem like a fair person, I fall to the trap that makes me look at my accomplishments and say… why isn't everyone else here?
I know the resources are there, noxxic alone has simplified having to look at various blogs for the cookie cutters specs. One place has all the answers. But some people don't even know how to search the internet.
We all know google exists, but knowing what to put on that search box is very important. Knowing how to ask a question gets you half way to solving the problem.
A string of ("Why does my DPS suck") will not send you to the right spec for your class. Someone with a little more experience than me might know to look for ("Arms warrior 4.3 stance dancing.") I know some people just went… WHAT?
Exactly. Some people know, some people have just never been told.
While I do think that blizzard does need to punish people not trying at all (they should be able to determine just someone auto attacking and going AFK), there should be a system in place where people that are getting into the LFR can go and ask questions of other players. Almost like in game mentors.
I know guilds provide that, but what if we could have a different color of text under our name if we are willing to give tips and guidance to someone.
Sure, the problem of rewarding bad play is still there and should be corrected. I think that what is important is to help the people that need the help and weed out those that just want to cheat the system.

The day you turn 21 you are finally able to enter that fantastic place called a bar. Before you know it you become a regular at that local dive. You start to like the people, you make friends with other regulars and before you know it you spend a lot of time at the place. One day you have the bright idea of telling the bartender that you could serve drinks, he takes you up on it and before you know it you are not just the bartender, you are pretty much running the whole thing.
You tell your friends about the bar, and the place start to look packed even on weeknights.
Eventually it seems like the owner is just not that nice, the food is not all that good and it seem like baseball is the only game that is ever on the TV. Now that you mention it, the TV is not even a big screen. So with some of the locals, one of whom has financial backing to put to his words you decide to open up your own bar.
Even though you had been previously practically running a bar, it is not all that easy. You start to let your friends also become bartenders. Most of the crowd you had before comes to the new bar and it becomes a happening place. With the money you start to upgrade the bar, there is not just baseball on the TVs, there is also football, both professional and college. Even once in a while there is basketball. No matter what the season is or what the sport is, everyone seems to be engaged and having fun.
Everyone seems to enjoy the food, everyone seems to be having fun. Times are good and the bar prospers. More amenities, more TVs, more people.
As the place begins to become bigger and bigger your employees ask about security, maybe bouncers that will not allow just everyone in and kick people out. You say nonsense, this is a bar full of friends, there will never be issues. There is the occasional drunken disturbance, but nothing that cannot be easily resolved.
Eventually this new sport starts to become popular. Even though boxing was shown once in a while and people were ok with it, this new sport called MMA is a little more brutal. Some people want to watch it, others don't even want to look at it. It seems like every night that there is a big MMA event, the bar starts to split into those that have the stomach for it and those that don't.
Eventually the bar starts to segment itself more and more. It seems like nobody can agree on what music to play in the jukebox, or what sport to watch on TV. The food that everyone was willing to pay for before, now seems tired and overpriced. People are coming for one or two drinks and the place is just not what it used to be.
It seems that more often than not people are in their little cliques and don't want to associate with each other anymore. The bartenders can see glares from across the room. The complains start to get more and more often. The specials simply don't attract people anymore.
The owner, financial backers and some of the employees decide that it is better to close the bar and go on their separate ways. What was one the place to be, its simple a place you go out of habit. The big screen TVs are there, but nobody seems to be watching them.
I guess all good things come to an end.

Every so often we come upon a concept car that, despite not offering any sort of real world specifications or possibility of coming to fruition, offers an unprecedented display of what makes a concept car design both refined, yet appropriately edgy.
Seen here, the Mangusta Legacy Concept was developed by designer and illustrator Maxime de Keiser. The Mangusta Legacy is a modern reimagining of the classic Mangusta produced by Italian automobile manufacturer De Tomaso between 1967 and 1971.
At first glance you may notice how much the Mangusta Legacy Concept (Mangusta translates to Mongoose in Italian) hugs the ground. It possesses an extremely low profile, making it quite aerodynamic and reducing drag. Where its real life inspiration featured minimal bodywork, the Legacy introduces a busier series of air intakes, vents and spoilers. A quick glance towards the windshield also exhibits a uniquely raked viewing angle that would be difficult to see over, firmly echoing why the Mangusta Legacy is, and shall remain, a concept. Still, we can certainly appreciate the design, and wouldn't mind seeing one of these actually take shape, even if it's only a one off.

Amazon.com has slashed 50 percent off of the standard manufacturer's suggested retail price tag for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of "WWE '13."
That's a hell of a deal. I'm almost tempted to take the plunge.
It's $30 at GameStop, too; so those who don't like Amazon can get it at GameStop and those who don't like GameStop can go to Best Buy, Target, Wal-Mart, or Toys R Us and price match it if they have the add or a smart phone on them.
Sweet! I was waiting for this price since black friday...this probably has to do with thq filing for bankruptcy...consider this game a collector's item as this is more than likely their last wwe game.
This is the glitchiest wrestling game since No Mercy (although No Mercy was fun especially with a gameshark even if it did delete saves every now and then). This game has quite a bit of freezing problems on top of lag and frame drops. There are numerous glitches in the WWE Universe mode alone. You shouldn't come across many glitches in the Attitude Era or most matches though if you got the patch. There are also a few Created Wrestler glitches like seeing the transparent hitboxes and sometimes the wrestler looking like a shadow.
But for $30 I guess it's worth it since about half the game is glitchy.
I bought and played WWE 12..
Created 50 wrestlers and my own logos and leagues n stuff and had the whole WWE as 2 different squads. Was awesome, had like Ryo and Ken and other randoms.
Anyways, if WWE 13 is just as good then get it...it's fun.
I'm not really into Wrestling but it was still fun.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Store Fires Woman Shortly After She Announced Pregnancy, Federal Agency Charged
NEW YORK - Happy Days Children's Wear, Inc., a company that operates three children's clothing retail stores in Brooklyn and Queens, will pay $22,500 and furnish other relief to settle a pregnancy discrimination lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
According to the EEOC's lawsuit, Happy Days Children's Wear fired a female employee, who had been employed with the company for seven years, shortly after discovering that she was pregnant. The EEOC also alleged that the defendant's multiple and inconsistent explanations for terminating the employee were pretextual.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. The EEOC filed its lawsuit against the company in September 2009 in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York (EEOC v. M & R Children's Wear, Inc., Raquel Discount Stores, Inc. and Duav Children's Wear, Inc. (all doing business as Happy Days Children's Wear)., case No. 09-CV-4212, E.D.N.Y.) after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
Under the five-year consent decree submitted to federal Judge John Gleeson for approval, in addition to the monetary relief, all Happy Days Children's Wear stores are required to comply with anti-discrimination laws. The company must also distribute a non-discrimination policy and complaint procedures; conduct anti-discrimination trainings for all employees, including managers and supervisors; and post, in three different languages, notices about discrimination laws and the lawsuit. The company will also be subject to monitoring by the EEOC and must submit annual reports to ensure compliance with the law.
"The law expressly protects pregnant women from discrimination and prohibits employers from taking adverse action against them," said Judy Keenan, acting regional attorney of the EEOC's New York District Office. "The EEOC will continue to fight for these women's rights."
Ami Sanghvi, the EEOC's trial attorney on the case, added, "All employees deserve to be treated equally, regardless of their gender or pregnancy and the settlement will help to ensure that employees at Happy Days Children's Wear stores enjoy that equal treatment."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on the agency's web site at www.eeoc.gov.

rt necesitaba un nuevo diseño de camiseta y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 42 diseños de 18 diseñadores freelance.
I'd like to have a custom t-shirt for my closet. The shirt will feature a cartoon of Ol' Dirty Bastard holding out a can of worms for display to the viewer of the shirt. The caption is "the other way to die is eat a can of worms". It's a reference to a lyric in the song "Cracker Jack". There's no real reason behind the shirt - I just think it's funny.
I've included a list of links to example t-shirts and ODB images for the designer to use. If ODB could be drawn in a similar way, it would really be cool.
Ideally, only ODB's head/face, shoulders and outstretched arm (holding the can of worms) appears in the shirt. I'd like his crazy hair to be captured. No hat. If he could be wearing a non-descript track jacket that would be cool. No full body drawings.
An alternative to the head/face, shoulders and arm might be to just have ODB's face, and then the can of worms next to it. Perhaps the designers could do multiple drafts.
The can of worms should be open and say "Worms" in an old timey font on the side. There should also be some worms coming out of the top. ODB should be smiling in a crazy way - like he does in some of the example photos.
The caption can be in any solid, no-frills font and should appear centered, directly under the image.
The image should be in one color - black.
- one color: black (ease of printing)
- head/face, shoulders, outstretched arm w/ can of worms
- or: head/face w/ can of worms

Shields racks up 10 K's for first visiting win at Trop
ST. PETERSBURG -- Big Game James looked right at home.

ST. PETERSBURG -- Big Game James looked right at home.
James Shields started at Tropicana Field for the first time in a visitors' uniform and worked seven shutout innings as the Royals bumped the Tampa Bay Rays, 6-0, on Monday night. He gave up just three hits and struck out 10.View Full Game Coverage
Comfortable, cool, confident. That's how he looked.
"It's definitely special coming back here," Shields said. "I've thrown some shutouts here and I've also thrown champagne on the field as well. So there's a lot of good memories here. The fans were great to me, welcoming me back, and it's always a good feeling -- especially when you come out on top."
Perhaps some of the 13,406 fans did not share that good feeling, but they had to admire how Shields pitched.
The Rays' Desmond Jennings, 0-for-3 against Shields and hitless in four at-bats in the loss, certainly did.
"He pitched great, man," Jennings said. "He's a good pitcher for a reason. He was in control of the game the whole time. He knew what he wanted to throw, when he wanted to throw it. He kept the ball down, threw every pitch where he wanted to throw it."
Shields had made 110 starts at The Trop as a member of the Rays. No one had come close to his 47 wins under the dome. Well, now make that 48.
The victory was the first for Shields in his last four starts and made him 9-4 with a 3.71 ERA. He'd been in a three-game slump.
"He's not going to group together a bunch of bad starts in a row, even though his last three or four haven't been James Shields-esque," manager Ned Yost said. "Tonight was. It was time for him to get it back."
Shields almost met his match in Rays right-hander Jake Odorizzi, the one-time Royals prospect who was dealt in the big December 2012 trade that brought Shields to Kansas City.
Odorizzi gave up just two of the Royals' runs in his six innings and he piled up eight strikeouts.
"We were going toe-to-toe there for a while and he did a good job on that side," Shields said, "but this is what we've been doing the last month and a half. We've been fighting one through nine, from the first out to the last out, we're fighting for runs."
Indeed, once Odorizzi departed, the Royals tacked on two runs in the eighth and two more in the ninth off reliever Juan Carlos Oviedo.
The Royals finished with 14 hits including three each by Alex Gordon and Omar Infante. They each drove in two runs. Lorenzo Cain and Eric Hosmer had two hits apiece and both contributed to the scoring.
But it was still 2-0 when Shields left by a mutual decision with Yost and pitching coach Dave Eiland in the dugout.
"We put our heads together," Shields said. "Wade Davis and Greg Holland haven't pitched in like four days so it was a good opportunity to get them out there. And I haven't been pitching so well lately, so it was good to end on a good note."
Davis, also part of the Shields trade, worked a perfect eighth inning, but with the Royals adding four runs there was no need to use Holland to close it out. Newcomer Scott Downs pitched a scoreless ninth.
Rays manager Joe Maddon was asked what he thought about being shut out by two guys the team had traded away.
"We just do a nice job of developing pitchers. That's what I thought," Maddon said.
Shields was reminded of the last game he pitched at The Trop for Tampa Bay. It was against Baltimore and he struck out 15 but lost, 1-0. The best performance of his career?
"I believe so, besides the loss factor," he said. "It's a little sweeter to come back here and get a win."
It was the 111th time for him on that mound.
"He was good. We've seen that act before," Maddon said. "Just the wrong uniform this time."

Severe storms sock Midwest with snow, tornadoes before pushing east; 1 dead in Mississippi

ST. LOUIS – At least one death has been blamed on a strong spring storm system that's brought everything from tornadoes to ice and snow to much of the Midwest and parts of the southeast U.S.
Mississippi Emergency Management Agency spokesman Greg Flynn says one person has died and several are injured after a reported tornado in Kemper County in the far eastern part of the state.
And in Missouri, the National Weather Service says that the St. Louis suburb of Hazelwood was hit by an EF-2 tornado on Wednesday night.
A National Weather Service meteorologist said crews were still assessing whether tornadoes were to blame for other damage in Missouri and neighboring Illinois.

Being pregnant can be just the exact opposite of what fashion deems sexy--hips widen, belly protrudes, skin stretches and sometimes scars. Many women choose to stay covered up during those nine months, but others are more willing to brandish their bump. Italian fashion model Raffaella Fico, 24, is six months pregnant and showed her stuff in an itsy bitsy bikini by Italian swimwear line Pin-Up Stars during Milan Fashion Week.
Plus: Pregnant Bikini Contest—Would You Do It?
Fico got mixed reviews for her walk, from disgust and disbelief, to approval and admiration. Okay, so the suit is a little nipple-centric (and by a little we mean a lot!), but kudos to Fico for strutting her new body up and down the runway, glowing like nobody's business, and starting conversations about what it means to be pregnant in the public eye.
What do you think? Do you agree with Fico's choice to flaunt her figure at Fashion Week? Did you rock a bikini while pregnant? Leave a comment.

Purcell, 2010, United States
Why I chose Fletcher: The Fletcher School's
reputation for excellence in International Affairs is one of the
primary reasons that I was interested in attending. Six weeks into my
first semester, I am convinced that its reputation is well earned. I
have realized that the academic rigor is just one part of what the
Fletcher School has to offer. The diversity of the student body and
faculty, in terms of nationalities and ethnicities, offers numerous
non-traditional educational opportunities. On the first day of
orientation, I had thought provoking conversations with fellow students
from every continent, minus Antarctica, but I wouldn't be surprised if
somebody from Fletcher has traveled to or done an internship there. As
a student here you get to know almost everyone, thus, you get to know
people from nearly every country in the world. I don't think many
other schools can offer an experience quite like this.
How I learned about Fletcher:
As a major in the United States Marine Corps, last year I was at a
point in my career when I was ready to pursue an advanced degree. Each
year the Marine Corps sends about 120 officers to school to receive
advanced degrees. The vast majority of those officers go to the
service war colleges, a handful of officers attend foreign war
colleges, and one individual is selected to attend The Fletcher
School. Consequently, last year I was quite surprised to learn that I
had been selected to be a Marine Fellow at The Fletcher School. I was
even more surprised to find out that I had to take the GRE, create a
resume, write essays, and apply like any other student. While I had to
jump through a few hoops in a short period of time in order to come
here, it was definitely worth it. This is an unbelievable school that
I would recommend to anyone who is serious about studying law and

Tempting the Wind Gods...
Ben and I traveled to the Privateer Yacht Club in Chattanooga last weekend to participate in their District Championships. Two boats from that club came to our districts/Glow this year and this was an opportunity to reciprocate. Plus, it's just a really friendly club and one we get to every year, though usually in the spring. Anyway, the wind was strong both days. Probably about 18 mph, but the race committee did say one gust on Saturday measured 23.5. So, it was hard work.
We got a good start the first race and, to our utter amazement, were leading by almost a full leg by the second or third leg. Then about 10 boat lengths from the finish, Ben blurted out "I can't believe we're doing a horizon job on those guys!" Can you believe he did that?! Talk about tempting the wind gods.
And, sure enough, it couldn't have been more than three seconds later when a puff from an entirely different direction auto tacked our boat and Plop! Ben fell in the water!! I also got a nasty rope burn by my eye from the vang, but never mind that, we had to get Ben back in the boat. Luckily he managed to scramble back in the boat with a little help from me and, after some futzing around, trying to get out of irons and calm ourselves down a bit, we finished the race, still in first place. Phew!!
We had another first-place finish the second race, but we had been in third place the whole race and only with some crafty strategizing we were able to nip the other two boats by just a nose. Usually the shoe is on the other foot and we're being overtaken right at the finish, so we really enjoyed that! A third place finish in the third race and then two fourth-place finishes on Sunday dropped us to third place overall but we felt great about our performance. We very very rarely beat Rob Fowler and Scot Cline, the first place boat, or Ed Craig, the second place boat, so that was a real accomplishment.
The drive home was long, but worth it after a weekend of such great sailing!
