Flying Dutch Set DeVos Fieldhouse Record In Win
The Hope women's basketball team scored a DeVos Fieldhouse record 107 points to remain undefeated on the season Saturday.
Coach Brian Morehouse's Flying Dutch, ranked second this week in NCAA
Division III women's basketball poll, topped the visiting Alma Scots 107-61
in their home debut before 915 DeVos Fieldhouse fans.
Hope improved to 7-0 overall and 3-0 in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) race heading into semester exam week.
The previous mark was 103 points recorded three times, first in a
103-67 win over Adrian in February 2006, the second time in a 103-44
win over Kalamazoo in January, 2008 and most recently in a 103-42 win
over Alma in February, 2011. Hope is now 16-3 in games played at DeVos
The Flying Dutch set the tone early jumping ahead 11-0 in the first
three minutes and setting a fieldhouse first-half scoring mark en
route to a 57-30 halftime advantage.
All 14 Hope players scored, 12 had at least one rebound and nine were
credited with an assist. The Flying Dutch scored a season-best nine
3-point baskets.
Senior guard Megan Kelley of Rockford (Rockford HS) scored 14 points on 5-for-6 shooting for Hope, while senior Anna Kaufmann of Davenport, Iowa (Davenport Central HS) added 13 points off the bench.
Senior Brittany Berry of Grand Rapids (Catholic Central HS) and Rebekah Llorens of Grayslake, Ill. (Grayslake Central HS) scored 10 points apiece. Sophomore Maura McAfee of Midland (Midland HS) grabbed nine rebounds for Hope.
The Flying Dutch take a week off for semester exams before hosting
their own Post-Exam Jam at DeVos Fieldhouse next Friday and Saturday.
Flying Dutchmen Top Carthage In MIAA/CCIW Challenge
Guard Alex Eidson scored a game-high 17 points to lead the Hope men's basketball team in an 80-58 win over Carthage (Wis.) on Saturday in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association/College Conference of Illinois Wisconsin Challenge.
The sophomore from Grand Haven (Grand Haven HS) led three Flying Dutchmen in double figures as Hope improved its record to 2-4 overall. Eidson also collected five rebounds, five assists and four steals.
Senior center Nate VanArendonk of Grand Haven (Grand Haven HS) and freshman forward Harrison Blackledge of Canton, Ohio (Hoover HS) each netted 11 points apiece for Hope. It was a collegiate high for Blackledge.
The Flying Dutchmen outscored Carthage (4-3) by a 44-27 margin during the second half.
Hope's starting lineup of Blackledge, Eidson, VanArendonk, forward Grant Neil of Holland (West Ottawa HS) and sophomore point guard Ben Gardner of Carmel, Ind. (Carmel HS), combined for 55 points.
Gardner finished with nine points, eight rebounds and five assists. Neil had seven points and four assists.
The Flying Dutchmen recorded a season-high 22 assists.
Hope is now 10-10 record in the history of the MIAA/CCIW Challenge.
Flying Dutchmen Fourth At Wheaton Invitational
Sophomore Jeff Zita of Holland (Holland Christian HS) posted two top-three performances to lead Hope during the Wheaton (Ill.) Invitational this weekend.
The Flying Dutchmen totaled 497.5 points to finish fourth at the five-team, two-day event on Saturday. Washington-St. Louis won with 1,031 points.
Zita finished second in the 200-yard breaststroke with a time of 2 minutes, 5.90 seconds. The time was good for NCAA Division III Championship consideration.
Senior Jake Hunt of Muskegon (Mona Shores HS) took third in the 50 freestyle by clocking a time of 21.54 seconds. He placed fourth in the 100 butterfly by going 51.8.
Freshman Zach Diener of Lake Orion (Lake Orion HS) came in third in the 200 freestyle. He had a time of 1:42.60.
Hope clocked a fourth-place time in the 200 freestyle relay as Hunt, Diener, freshman Ryan Johnson of Milford (International Academy) and senior Andrew Larson of Jackson (Jackson HS) went 1:25.53.
The Flying Dutchmen also were fourth in the 400 freestyle relay. Diener, Hunt, Johnson and Larson had a time of 3:07.93.
Flying Dutch Fifth At Wheaton Invitational
Sophomore Klare Northuis of Holland (Holland HS) won the 50-yard freestyle to lead Hope during the second and final day of Wheaton (Ill.) Invitational.
Hope finished fifth at the five-team event with 437.5 points. Washington-St. Louis won with 1,057 points.
Northuis won the 50 free in 24.77 seconds. She also took fourth in the 100 freestyle in 53.7 seconds.

Senior Fijian international outside half Nicky Little came to Pontypridd at a time when the club were struggling, and in need of a steadying midfield influence.
Securing a valuable victory away at Swansea in his first appearance, Nicky proved a valuable aquisition for the club, before moving on to English team Saracens when Neil Jenkins returned to Sardis Road in 2002.

FUJI APPLES AVAILABILITYWhile Fuji apples are generally harvested in late September, they are also blessed with a relatively long shelf life compared with other apple varieties.
ABOUT FUJI APPLESThe Fuji apple was created in Japan in 1930 by crossing a Ralls Janet and a Red Delicious. For being relatively young to American markets, Fuji apples have become one of the most popular apple varieties. In fact, American orchardists produce more Fujis than Japanese orchards in order to fill the demand.
FUJI APPLES TASTE & RIPENESSFuji apples are crisp, crunchy and fairly sweet. They are relatively low in acidity, and give off a scent that is warm and autumnal. Their flesh is bi-colored with red and yellow vertical stripes along the sides. Apples are harvested at their peak, and then put into cold storage to maintain that perfect level of ripeness. When you receive delicious Fuji apples from The Fruit Company, they'll be ready to eat, no waiting required.
This tastes like a fruit salad and chicken salad combined. The curry and sesame seeds make this exotic and flavorful. I made this in 15 minutes for lunch today!
- 1 (12½ ounces) can chunk chicken breasts
- ½ cup celery, diced
- 1 medium Fuji apple, chopped
- 1 cup pineapple chunks, drained
- 2 tablespoons plump raisins
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
- 5 tablespoons mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon curry powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Combine chicken, celery, apple, pineapple, raisins and 1½ teaspoons of the sesame seeds in a large bowl.
- Mix mayonnaise, curry powder and salt.
- Pour mayonnaise over chicken mixture and toss to coat.
- Sprinkle with remaining sesame seeds.
- Serve by itself or over a bed of greens.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Kula Elementary greatly exceeds the expectations for a public school. The new principal is excellent- he is involved with the community of the school and is a great cohesive factor between parents, students, & teachers. His presence at the school has been noticeably beneficial to all. The teachers are also invested in their students. Every one of them goes far above & beyond to give the children a quality education, and work as an excellent team. The office staff is friendly & helpful & are familiar with each child. Cafeteria workers are dedicated & provide well rounded lunches that include fresh fruits &whole grains. Kula school has a PCNC who coordinates many fun activities outside of the school day such as Family movie night, Pumpkin carving at Halloween, and Christmas Craft Evening. Parent involvement is very high. The PTA is very active and coordinates funds to support extra-curricular teachers that are not solely paid for by the DOE. Currently they support the PE program through their fundraising. Ideally they support an art program as well. Improvement-wise I see only one major area in which the school would benefit-the addition of a full time school counselor.
The new Principal (Mr. B.) shows great leadership and is clearly visible around campus. The kids love him and he is very approachable. Our school has some wonderful parent nights due to our wonderful PCNC (parent coordinator Nikki). From Christmas Craft night to Family Fitness night and movie nights and supporting our high school's homecoming Kula Elementary School can really be a family place with friendly people! The teachers have been great as is all the support staff. The PTA is also very involved and open to suggestions. If there were more parent volunteers, then we could have even more activities for the kids including continued involvement in county sports programs (volleyball, basketball, flag football). I love that if a parent wants to form a new club and provides the manpower, the school administration will support you. After a few years of struggling, Kula School is back in great shape...even better than before!
new principal- working out great!!! wonderful education and communty. execellent scores. best public elementary school on maui
Kula Elementary School is an amazing school! Although I do agree that they would do much better with a new principal, the teachers are extremely dedicated to the children! My daughter in fourth grade has participated in Japanese Club, the Geography Bee, and an afterschool Hawaiian program. The teachers go above and beyond to help the children succeed and in turn yeild high test scores and confident learners! With a new principal that would share the values of the teachers instead of trying to work against them, Kula Elementary would be UNSTOPPABLE!
Kula Elementary school is in dire need of replacing the current Principal. Teachers did an excellent job while trying to endure this dictatorship. Staff morale is low and everyone walks on pins and needles, avoiding the office when possible. Parents with concerns are avoided and discouraged from participating in PTA or volunteering on campus. After being an eight year parent at this school, I moved my children elsewhere (SY2004-2011).
Kula Elementary was rated the best public elementary school on Maui, before the current principal worked there. Most of the teachers are great, as are the kids. The principal is very much a politician, not particularly friendly or even visible on campus. I have a hard time understanding why she chose this profession other than it leading up to becoming a more powerful political figure. It really seems like she does not want to be there, not sure how much she even likes kids.
Kula School works very hard to maintain its traditions, great standing and arts integration.
Kula Elementary has turned out some of the brightest students from Hawaii. When my daughter left Kula Elementary she was one of 44 students accepted to Seabury Hall College Prepratory School and more than half of those 44 came from Kula. Those kids have now graduated from Hight School and are at colleges such as Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, etc. Great School
This school is about great teachers who motivate. The teachers make this school what it is!! The principal is new and needs guidance in working with elementary children (came from a high school background). The diversity is not as great as some would lead you to believe but is there. It is a great school in spite of the leadership. Teachers need more support and Great Schools does not accurately represent class size - they are much higher in the younger grades. The Kula school area is experiencing a higher enrollment rate than it is capable of handling. Still a great school but not at the incredible level it has been in the past. Former parent of 2 children at Kula School
Kula School is a great learning environment for a very diverse population. The staff is friendly, the pta very active and the students generally happy and learning a lot.

Virgin Mobile to launch iPhone on June 29
As previously rumored, Virgin Mobile has announced that it will launch the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S on Friday, June 29. The carrier, one of Sprint's prepaid brands, will charge $649 for the 16GB iPhone 4S and $549 for the 8GB iPhone 4, but will offer plans for as little as $35 a month. That low-end plan offers 300 voice minutes, unlimited text, and unlimited data—which is capped at 2.5GB of "full speed" data. The most expensive plan—which runs $55 monthly—offers unlimited calling, text, and data; the company will offer a $5 monthly discount to customers who sign up for automatic monthly payments. Mobile hotspot service will also be offered for an additional $15 a month, but will expand the "full speed data" cap to 3.5GB per month.

Rx: Chicken with Feta Cheese Sauce
School is officially back in session, and our whole family is getting an education in how to juggle the demands of a new year. The kids came home from the first week of school with glowing reports: "School was so much fun today!" And, "I love my new teacher!" Flash forward a few weeks, and the chorus has changed: "There is so much homework!" "There was no free time at all today – just work time!" I get it; change is hard. Learning new rules, meeting new classmates and teachers, trying new extracurricular activities and adjusting to increased academic expectations is stressful. But as much change as a new school year brings, some things don't change. Like a favorite family meal.
Chicken with Feta Cheese Sauce has long been a crowd-pleaser at my house. It's not super fancy food, and it's not complicated to make, but it's always a hit. This recipe is flexible: throw the chicken on the grill, sear it on the stovetop, or bake it in the oven. The sauce comes together pretty quickly, but you can always make it in advance and reheat at mealtime. My family loves to eat this dish with couscous to soak up the savory sauce, but feel free to improvise with what you have in your pantry. Add a veggie of choice and, voila, dinner is served.
I made this dish for my family the other night after a particularly tough day for my daughter. It's one of those reliable meals that always produces smiles around the dinner table. As we ate and chatted, you saw her shoulders relax and heard her giggles return. Given all the uncertainty of a new school year, chicken can be just what the doctor ordered.
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 1 12-ounce can evaporated milk
- 2-3 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 1 cup feta cheese
- Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly coat chicken breasts with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add chicken to pan when hot. Cook 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked through. Remove from heat and keep warm.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk constantly for one minute. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly.
- Stir in chives and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer 5-7 minutes or until thick, stirring occasionally.
- Add cheese and stir until cheese is melted.
- Spoon sauce over chicken.

Made this for my family. 3 out of 4 kids liked it so that is a win in my book!! I did not have evaporated milk so used regular milk, but the sauce was still delicious. Now if I could get them to eat the vegetables with the chicken! Thanks for sharing. Will definitely make again.
Will be trying this soon. Sounds great !!
Cooked this the other night and it was a tremendous hit. Thanks.
this was yummy although I put my own spin on I added basil rather than chives and served it over pasta. kinda a cheesy alfredo.
Delicious! I love this recipe… I've made it several times!
It says 1cup of feta. Is that cubed or grated?
I spotted this recipe on Pinterest recently. I made it for dinner recently and used tomato basil feta and it was so yummy!!!
Is there anything that could be a substitute for the milk?
Made this last night and it was yummy. My husband came home at lunch today just so he can have the left over. That's how much he really loved it My kids asked me to make this again today LOL! Thanks Anna for sharing this yummy recipe.
Can you use a different cheese than Feta, we are not a fan of this cheese. Thanks, Jan
Used this as a base, added garlic, onion, tomato, rosemary to the save as it simmered. OMG, then kabobs and flatbread with a pesto sauce and ALL ate every bit of it, even the six year load asked for seconds!!!!
This sauce sounds AMAZING!
This was so good we both had seconds! The sauce will not be too good of a leftover so eat it all tonight!

Go to Current site: pnc-mla.cloverpad.org
The Pacific Northwest Chapter, which includes states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, and the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia, has about 150 members. The following activities this year support MLA's Strategic Plan and Priorities, as well as our chapter MAP.
Goal: Recruitment, Membership, and Leadership in the Profession and Organization
The Chapter was the recipient of the 2004 Majors/MLA Chapter Project of the Year award for providing Survey Monkey to its membership. Dolores Judkins, Patrice O'Donovan, and Peggy Baldwin were recognized for their work not only in spearheading purchase of the Survey Monkey subscription, but also in training PNC membership to utilize the program.
Again, in 2005 the chapter will receive the award for its PNC group purchasing program. Three members-Susan Barnes, Cheryl Goodwin, and Pamela Murray-were the driving force behind this. The first collaborative purchase in 2002 offered the PNC membership the opportunity to purchase shared access to 140 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins e-journals from Ovid. Since then, this committee continues to pursue other agreements with other vendors on behalf of the PNC membership.
As a result of this, the chapter is exploring the possibility of an institutional membership, which would allow greater flexibility in seeking vendor contracts and would also allow PNC/MLA to develop relationships with hospitals that would like to take advantage of these resources but do not have a library.
PNC formed two new standing committees this past year: Mentoring and Recruitment and Group Purchasing.
During the Fall, 2004 meeting the membership approved a student membership category, for which dues will be $10 per year. Any student is eligible for this, whether part-time or full-time, distant or resident.
Goal: Lifelong Learning
"Focus on the Future: Libraries of Yesterday and Tomorrow" was the theme of the 44th annual meeting, which was held October 2-5 in Seattle. In addition to a one-day Hospital Library Forum entitled "The Three P's of Library Success," four CE classes were held. Two Professional Development Scholarships were awarded to members to support their attendance and participation in this meeting.
In October 14-18, 2005 PNC's meeting will be at the Governor Hotel in Portland, Oregon. The theme for the meeting is "Medical Libraries: Core of Discovery," in deference to the epic journey Lewis and Clark made.
Goal: Advocacy
In conjunction with the 2004 annual PNC meeting, the NN/LM Pacific Northwest Region sponsored a one-day Hospital Library Forum entitled the "Three P's of Library Success." Fifty-eight individuals registered for this forum.
A letter congratulating the opening of a new Planetree hospital in the Portland area and offering PNC's support for the new library was sent to the CEO in November.
During its Fall, 2004 meeting, PNC celebrated its 50th anniversary. The banquet featured historical facts and pictures from the Chapter archives. Isabel McDonald, life member, has been a member longer than anyone else and her first meeting was in 1957. MLA presented the Chapter with a commemorative gavel.
Goal: Creating and Communicating Our Knowledge
Rather than publishing a web-based newsletter, the Publications Committee is investigating the possibility of using blogging software for chapter news items. The chapter has purchased a web domain (pncmla.org), which will be renewed every 3 years.
Goal: Building a Network of Partners
The Group Purchasing Committee, a new standing committee, continues to coordinate group purchasing access to online full-text journal subscriptions at an affordable cost to libraries in Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. Currently 53 participants have access to 240 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins e-journals, with several others considering joining that particular package. Currently nineteen members are participating in a nursing package from Ovid, with more due to join. The Group Purchasing Committee has estimated that about 50,000 health professionals plus students and faculty in health education programs are being served by these consortial agreements. The committee has begun work on a web page for PNC/MLA to provide information on other possible vendor deals. The web page will also list existing contracts, along with other possible vendor avenues. As a result of these consortial agreements with vendors, the chapter is pursuing the introduction of an institutional membership category.
A second tri-chapter meeting will be held with the two California chapters (NCNMLG and MLGSCA) in Seattle in Fall, 2006. The meeting will be at the Red Lion Hotel, October 14-18, 2006.
This report is informational and requires no action from MLA.

Heli skiing with Snowwater Heli Skiing and Cat Skiing with Valhalla Powdercats near Red Mountain is your destination for unbelievable snow. Ski or ride light, deep powder that's distributed over 150,000 acres of pristine wilderness. Plus, you won't be racing for first lift in the morning.
You're guaranteed at least 6 runs a day, safety gear and lesson, professional guides, accommodation, gourmet dining, snacks, and transport to and from the lodge.
Snowcat backup for heliskiers: if bad weather prohibits flying, you'll still be taken skiing or riding via luxury snowcat.
A helicopter can carry up to 3 people at a time, while a snowcat can carry up to 12 passengers plus 2 guides at a time.
Can't decide between heliskiing or cat skiing? Check out the Kootenay Sampler Package, which combines both activities.
You must be a strong intermediate to expert skier or snowboarder for cat skiing. Heli skiing terrain is more demanding and should only be ventured only by advanced or expert skiers and riders. You need to be in great shape and able to withstand back country conditions, which aren't as predictable as groomed runs. The high altitude is also less forgiving on your body and breathing capacity, so be prepared to use a lot of energy every day you're shredding the pow.

The ring is beautiful. It's exactly as described, the stones are brilliant and it fits perfectly. The local jeweler I first shopped didn't have an option for a similar ring in a 4. So I'm very happy with it. And it saved me money to boot. The only thing is that the photo suggests a darker tone to the metal (which i had wanted because my engagement ring is in platinum and has a little darker hue) and the metal on this ring is a brilliant white gold.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - A former Milwaukee child care operator has agreed to plead guilty to federal fraud, theft, and conspiracy charges.
34-year-old Latasha Jackson entered into a plea agreement this week.
She ran two child care centers that defrauded state and federally-funded programs to care for children of the working poor.
Prosecutors say they'll ask a judge to make Jackson pay $333,000 in restitution. She also faces up to 35 years in prison – but she's expected to get much less than that under federal sentencing guidelines. A sentencing date has not been set.
Jackson's case was profiled in a Journal Sentinel series that exposed numerous fraud in the Wisconsin Shares program. She received about $3 million in tax reimbursements from the state program, while the paper said regulators ignored red flags for a decade about her fraud.
In the meantime, Jackson had built a 7,600 square foot mansion with a Jaguar convertible. Both were destroyed in a fire in late 2009.
Investigators called it suspicious, but nobody was ever charged. Jackson has since moved to Texas.

December 11, 2000, 10:25 AM — Computer systems around the globe continue to be struck today by the so-called "I
Love You" virus. Passing unnoticed through corporate firewalls as an email attachment,
the virus deletes critical systems files and infects others.
One victim had hundreds of file names appended with a ".vbs" extension. Another
victim's system was infected when accessing a server that had been previously infected.
According to Symantec Corp.'s Antivirus Research Center, the "VBS.LoveLetter.A" is an
extremely fast-spreading computer virus, of a type known as a worm, that uses mIRC and
Microsoft Outlook to email itself as an attachment.
Symantec's engineers report that VBS.LoveLetter.A appears as an attachment with the
subject line ILOVEYOU along with an attachment called LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.vbs.
Tips on eradicating the virus
- From Symantec: The quick fix for now is for network or email
administrators to set a filter for the attachment name (LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.vbs)
and subject line (ILOVEYOU) immediately.
- From a user suggestion: Reboot the infected PC and roll back to a previous
version of the Windows registry.
Antivirus vendors Symantec, McAfee, and Panda Software all expect to post remedies
to their Websites sometime today.
The Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) Coordination Center at Carnegie Mellon
University in Pittsburgh said that it had received more than 150 reports of the virus
as of 10 a.m. ET today. Experienced managers at CERT said this is an unusually high
number of reports for an email virus.
The following information was obtained from the US military:
ILOVEYOU is a VBScript worm. It spreads through email as a chain letter. The worm uses
the Outlook email application to spread. LoveLetter is also a overwriting VBS virus,
and it spreads itself using mIRC client as well. When it is executed, it first copies
itself to Windows System directory as:

Isabel Toledo on her new book, living her dream and more
R and I by Troy House
Ruben and Isabel Toledo
Isabel Toledo, the iconic designer who has shown Latinas all over the world that no dream is out of reach, solidified her place in history when First Lady Michelle Obama wore an original Toledo to her husband's historic inauguration in 2009.
On November 11, Toledo and her husband, Ruben, will come full circle when they unveil their 30-year retrospective as part of the Miami International Book Fair. The fair's location, at the Freedom Tower, is a very special one for the Toledos who emigrated from Cuba after the revolution. Like many refugees from that era, it was their first stop on the road to freedom in America.
I had the pleasure to speak with the Toledo's this week to discuss their new book, "Roots of Style: Weaving Together, Life, Love, and Fashion," her collaboration with Payless ShoeSource, fashion blogging, and future projects.
LatinZine: You are proof positive that if you focus on making a dream come true, you can achieve it no matter your circumstance. Your book felt like a love story to dreamers all over the world. What inspired you to pen your story at this point in your career?
Toledo: Along with dreamers, I also want to reach the doers. Of course, the doing starts with dreaming. But we wanted to emphasize the importance of working with your hands, of carrying out your dreams, and connecting your ideas to physical reality.
I was blessed to learn how to sew and make things with my hands at an early age. So early, that it became second nature to me. My husband Ruben was drawing before he could write.
Doing takes away the intimidation of failing because you can always improve as you try again and again. So for us, connecting your hand to your mind and your spirit is what it's all about. We are very grateful for that and wanted to share.
LZ: In your book, "Roots of Style," your words and Mr. Toledo's beautiful illustrations show how perfectly in sync you both are. What was the creative process like when you created the book together?
Toledo: I wrote every morning while still in bed after I had my morning café. I wrote piles and piles of pages, which Ruben would later pick up and doodle in the margins as he read. The whole story really did weave itself.
LZ: Fashion bloggers have become the tastemakers of the style world lately. People are looking to emulate them and brands are looking to work them. What are your thoughts on fashion blogging?
Toledo: I love them. Blogging is another form of communication. The more we all share and communicate; the better. I think we are all pretty aware of the difference between entertainment and knowledge, content and diversion, and that they are all valid.
Sometimes we want serious thoughts and sometimes we want diversion. Sometimes we want champagne and sometimes soda pop is just the right. It's up to the individual to know what to consume.
LZ: You came to the United States as a young girl and you serve as a huge influence to many young Latinas that are working hard to fulfill their dreams. What is your advice for them?
Toledo: Be yourself. Your uniqueness is your strength. We need to continue this wonderful weave of diversity that was jump started at the beginning of this country. It's what gives us all strength. You have everything inside you that you need to succeed.
LZ: By collaborating with Payless ShoeSource you helped women step-out with confidence at affordable prices. Was this an important point for you when deciding to collaborate with a mass-market retailer?
Toledo: Absolutely, and it's something I look forward to doing so much more. I have always believed that good design does not have to cost a fortune. There are so many levels now that everyone can appreciate and participate in fashion.
I love designing a shoe, a dress, a handbag that can be easily produced at a high quality and an affordable price tag. This is something I can only afford to do with good partners in the mass fashion arena.
LZ: We are so close to wrapping up 2012. What can we expect from The Toledo's in the near future?
Toledo: I have a few new collaborations that are in the works, but it's too early to announce anything yet. I cannot wait to share them! Both Ruben and I are preparing new works for an installation at the Boston Museum of Fine Art in 2014.
Ruben is working on a new line of hand painted furniture for Pucci and a new book with Karl Lagerfeld. Of course, I got involved in both projects since I get to play with both of them.

Mashpee Baseball Team Keeps Hope Alive With Win
By: RICH MACLONE, May 16, 2014
So you're saying there's a chance.
The Mashpee High School baseball team kept its chance of qualifying for the MIAA state tournament alive with a 10-6 win in its final home game of the season Thursday, May 15. Mashpee improved to 8-11 overall, with three games left to go, starting with a trip to Carver High on Monday, May 19.
The Falcons got a huge game from Curtis Bridge, who paced the team's offensive attack by going three for three with a double, a triple and five runs batted in. Kris Carpenter also had a pair of hits, with a double and triple and John Giatrelis had two hits, two stolen bases and an amazing play defensively in the field at third.
MHS clung to a one-run lead late in the game. The Falcons got a great start from Eddie Childs, who went five and two-thirds, but he ran into a jam with two away in the sixth and his team up just 6-5. Nick Carpenter came in to get the team out of the jam.
Mashpee then exploded for four in the bottom of the sixth to break the game open. Ari Purdy started it with a bunt single. He stole second and went to third when Giatrelis singled. Purdy scored on a wild pitch, and then Giatrelis did as well. Tyler Towsey and Shay Souza both singled before Bridge smoked his triple to chase in two.
Hull rallied to score one in the top of the seventh, but it was not enough to change the outcome.
On Tuesday, May 13, Mashpee's win streak was snuffed out by East Bridgewater's Cam Troup, who nearly tossed a no-hitter against the Falcons. EB rode their pitcher's strong outing to a 2-0 win, improving 13-1 overall on the season, and 11-1 in the South Shore League.
Troup also knocked in one of the Vikings' runs in their victory. He carried a no-no into the seventh inning before Mashpee finally broke it up. John Giatrelis led off the seventh with a single, but the Falcons could not bring him around or collect any more knocks as they lost a tough one.
Jason Demers pitched well enough to win for Mashpee. He went the distance, scattering six hits while allowing just one earned run. He walked just two over the course of the contest.
Eddie Childs had a big day on the hill and at the plate to help lead the Mashpee High School baseball team to its fourth consecutive victory last Saturday afternoon. For the second time in less than a week, MHS squared off against Bristol-Plymouth, a team they've met in the past two MIAA state tournaments, and scored a 4-2 win over the Craftsmen.
Childs worked four strong innings to start the game, and earned the victory. Curtis Bridge pitched the fifth and sixth innings, and did not surrender a run, and Kris Carpenter worked the ninth to pick up the save.
Related Content
B-P got one in the top of the first, but the Falcons answered with a pair of unearned runs to take the lead. Ari Purdy singled, stole second and scored on an error that came off the bat of John Giatrellis. Later in the inning, Giatrelis scored on a passed ball to give his team a 2-1 lead.
The Craftsman rallied to tie the score with a run in the top of the fourth, but once again the Falcons answered back. Mashpee took the lead for good in the bottom of the inning when Childs, who went two for two at the plate and was also hit by a pitch, delivered an RBI single to make it 3-2.
Mashpee scored an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth. Jordan Pinhack roped an RBI double deep to left field that plated the fourth run for his team.

We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Dark rich and extracted this wine has aromas of cassis, black cherry and currants. Balanced oak nuances add both a 'sweetness' and roundness to this aromatic and powerful wine.
"Over the last several vintages, Turnbull has impressed with its very well-made and comparatively affordable Cabernets. It hits the very same marks once again in 2006, and wins applause for its deep fruit, fine focus and classic structure. Its ample oak is always subordinate to elements of cassis and ripe cherries, and its integral tannins provide solid varietal spice without being too tough or abrasive. It overall sense of proportion and balance are just what we look for in ageworthy wines, and what is good here will get only better over the next five to ten years. "

Connoisseurs' Guide
"Grown on the estate in Oakville, this is a very tannic Cabernet. It's almost old-fashioned, a dark, full-bodied wine with earthy-herbal notes and a hard, astringent finish. There are complex flavors of blackberries, mocha, licorice, allspice, cloves, violets and cedar. Could do interesting things beyond 2011. "

Wine Enthusiast
In the Spring of 1993 California publisher, Patrick O'Dell, purchased Johnson Turnbull Vineyards and renamed the property Turnbull Wine Cellars. The remodeling and expansion of the facility has been completed. In addition, the wines have gone through change due to the inclusion of fruit from additional vineyards purchased by Patrick. Turnbull Wine Cellars has 145 acres of vineyards within the Oakville Viticultural Appellation representing the diverse range of microclimates and terroirs within this fabled grape-growing center of Napa Valley.
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right.

More from Philippe…
A small vineyard in Piemont which grows Demeter certified grapes produces the bottle that was my pick of the crop at the 10th anniversary edition of the Bouffons Bios Organic Wine Fair in Montreuil (see here for last year's review of the fair). Le Vin en tête, a natural wine distributer with a number of bottle shops across Paris, was showcasing Italian producers only that day, and is the one I have to thank for my introduction to Cascina Zerbetta.
To my palate that day, Cascina Zerbetta's Barberra di Monferrato 2010 outshone even the Italian organic pioneer Maule's more famous bottles. The colour is a deep ruby, and the nose is typical of grenache vinified in whole clusters using carbonic maceration techniques. It is a very ripe drop, recalling, at first, blackberry preserve, then strawberry jam, but it also has distinct cherry-stone and light liquorice notes, eventually evolving towards cherry jam. Immediately after opening the bottle, the aftertaste had a certain walnut and almond tinge, which suggests a slight oxydization in the vinification process. But these notes quickly vanished after the wine was carafed. It is fresh and highly drinkable with its silky tanins and pleasant acidity. High altitude pleasure guaranteed for €11,70 (special wine fair price).

Hi shooters, my first post.
I am Looking for a smith to build a 338 lapua. Any recommendations ?
Hi shooters, my first post.
I am Looking for a smith to build a 338 lapua. Any recommendations ?
Pretty generic question, but I'll play along. Start with a Surgeon XL and go from there.
On the build parts or the smith? Might want to elaborate more on your request?
Are you positive you want a 338? I wouldn't do that unless you have plenty of time behind something smaller like a 308. I only say this because it's your first post, and that often means the poster doesn't have that much time behind a rifle.

I noticed whenever I brought up the TV guide screen and hit the arrow buttons, the guide continued to scroll long after I stopped. Afterwards, I noticed that the DVR remote indicator stays on. Therefore, the box is acting as if the remote is continually sending a signal. Also, this is happening if I press a number to change the channel. The last number will continue to enter itself over and over again.
The remote control is not doing this because I can remove the batteries and the light stays on. This is an issue within the DVR. I have to unplug it and turn it on while pressing the power button for this problem to stop. This temporarily turns off the remote indicator light and the DVR functions normally. Unfortunately, this is a temporary fix.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what is a solution for it.

My terrible little sup guy. Having fun with melted chocolate and simply couldn't help myself! Love, you make people weird.
Another photoshop from anorexic to relatively healthy. Once again she is still a bit skinny but I think this was an improvement since last :D (Me no own le photo, no copyright intended).
Before and After. I was messing around on photoshop using images from google and I came across the top most image and thought "Well, people are always making youtube videos about large women going skinny so lets make an anorexic girl relatively healthy!" So, yeah, that's the second photo below the first. Yes, I agree she is still a bit skinny but I'm only a baby at photoshop, I'm still learning <3 (Me no own le photo so no copyright intended).
Left my liquid eyeliner at dads by accident and when I came to collect it learned that my older brother who is 19 used it as a pen to label a box. !?!?!??!!!!!

Christmas, a Christian holiday observed by many Mainers, has a very public, seasonal face that makes it visible to those of all beliefs.
Evergreens and a Jolly Old Elf
Santa Claus and evergreens have been common December additions to homes, schools, businesses, and other public places to America since the mid nineteenth century. They are two symbols of the Christian holiday of Christmas whose origins are unrelated to the religious meaning of the day.
Valentines Day cards have long been a way to express feelings of romance or love for family or friends. These early Valentines Day cards suggest the ways in which the expression of those sentiments has changed over time.

*This title will be released on April 17, 2012*
Title: The Last Echo
Sexual Content:
Good – A fun read with minor flaws. Maybe read an excerpt before buying.
Violet kept her morbid ability to sense dead bodies a secret from everyone except her family and her childhood-best-friend-turned-boyfriend, Jay Heaton. That is until forensic psychologist Sara Priest discovered Violet's talent and invited her to use her gift to track down murderers. Now, as she works with an eclectic group of individuals—including mysterious and dangerously attractive Rafe—it's Violet's job to help those who have been murdered by bringing their killers to justice.
When Violet discovers the body of a college girl killed by "the girlfriend collector" she is determined to solve the case. But now the serial killer is on the lookout for a new "relationship" and Violet may have caught his eye….
If, like me, you were a little underwhelmed by the villain in DESIRES OF THE DEAD, you'll be glad to know that in Kimberly Derting's THE LAST ECHO, Violet finds herself once again in the crosshairs of a serial killer. As with the phenomenal debut, I was creeped out and afraid while reading, two emotions that helped make THE BODY FINDER and now THE LAST ECHO such powerful books. I actually found myself anticipating the serial killer POV chapters because they were so well done. Unsettling but fascinating. And the serial killer in THE LAST ECHO is very different from the killer in THE BODY FINDER, so this book felt new and exciting in it's own right.
While I was glad to see the return of a serial killer to ratchet up the fear factor, I was disappointed by the significantly smaller role Jay played in THE LAST ECHO. I'm all for love triangles and I think Derting handled the very gradual introduction of a new guy for Violet very well, but I fell hard for Jay in the last two books and I missed getting to see him really shine. He just didn't get the page time or impactful moments I'd been hoping for.
But the diminished role Jay played wasn't the biggest change in THE LAST ECHO, it was the introduction of the government run psychic teen group that recruits Violet. I kind of don't know what to make them. It's an interesting new twist and it does expand the world significantly, but it does so at the expense of the intimate, small town feel that was so much a part of the debut. Lots of people are in on Violet's secret (in fact almost everyone knows in the book), so we see a different side of Violet's personality that I ended up finding a little abrasive and even bratty on occasion.
Overall, The Body Finder series is an intriguing one and it packs in more heart palpitating fear than any other YA I've read. Big changes are happening that readers will either embrace or shun and I find myself wanting to do both. Don't let the finality of the title confuse you, THE LAST ECHO is not the last book in The Body Finder series. Kimbery Derting has confirmed there will be at least one more book (currently untitled) due out in 2013. It's an easy call to add it to my wishlist if only to see more Jay and hopefully a new serial killer too.

Darn, I HATE love triangles and I really liked Jay in the past two books. I may skip this one…
Great review. I've not read this book yet and I can't wait but you said something I was afraid to happen, the damned love triangle, like you I also fell for Jay so it saddens me that he appears so little in this book.
I'm sad to say this by if Violet breaks up with Jay and ends up with Rafe, I'm not reading any more books in this series and I'll probably going to burn the books ;_;
I hear you, but if you plan to continue with the series, you'll want to read this once since a lot of plot advancement takes place.
I adore Jay. He's one of my favorite YA love interests so I too would be sad if Violet dumps him. I'm hopeful that won't happen though.

The Pistons got a team-high and season-high 21 points last night from Tracy McGrady as they topped the Celtics, 104-to-92 at The Palace. Tayshaun Prince added 18 points for Detroit, which improved to 11-and-21 on the season, including 8-and-8 at home.
Boston, which lost for just the second time in 17 games, had to play much of the night without forward Kevin Garnett. He left late in the first quarter and did not return due to a lower right leg injury. Garnett went up for a dunk, hung on the rim and had a pained look on his face even before he landed softly on the floor and was limping afterward.
He went in for X-rays, which showed no fracture. The Celtics say he hurt a muscle and it's not a knee injury. The Pistons play at Phoenix tomorrow night.

Mundus academicus: arhitectura și adaptarea la fluxurile globalizării (I)
[Mundus academicus: architecture and adaptation to globalization flows (I)]
Abstract: Education and particularly the higher education have the task not only to react to the quasi-globalization trends, but rather to play a role in the development of desirable future society, leading to qualitative changes designed to preserve the identity of diverse communities and tolerance based on communication knowledge and understanding the interests of each participant in this process. Without claiming to discuss in a general register this topic (although very broad in its essence), I just tried to achieve a brief scan of the bidirectional impact of globalization-internationalization (whether as understood in the literature – Americanization, Europeanization, homogenization, diversification) it has in higher education. Of course, the approach was focused mainly on the effects of the opportunities of internationalization of global education they have or shoud have on higher education and research in Romania. This paper reviews the international realities of higher education for thtree important poles of the global space: U.S.A., Asia-Pacific and Europe until the beginning of the current financial crisis. Imagining a correspondance between the general profile of each region and the name of concepts of ludic space, I associated a certain notion (Monopoly, Dominoes and Puzzle) to each of the mentioned regions, arguing that associations by illustrating the most significant aspects of the transformations that flows globalization have forced regional systems analyzed. Considerations about the U.S. as a magnet for resources, China and the miracle of the structural reform of higher education, performance lessons that Japan offers to the world, the domino effect of novelty almost envied (Bologna process with all the innovation system) and traditional values (Humboldtian construction) in Europe, provides a summary of opinions and research of existing literature overflow. In this first part of the paper, analyzes are focused on the first two regions: USA and Asia-Pacific.

If you click About in the navigation, you'll see the quote that inspired this blog's name. I'm the sort of person who visualizes a solution in place while trying to figure something out. I was faced with the design challenge of planning out my bedroom, formerly a bathroom. Oh I forgot to mention, the room is an octagon… with a sink on one side.
My designs are riddled with clean lines, geometry and ratios like phi and thirds, but above all, my biggest design tool is symmetry. With a need for nightstands and visually squaring off my octagon canvas of a room, I opened my mind and let creativity take over.
In a podcast on creativity (that I can't find the source for), an important concept on working without constraints was mentioned. It went something like –
"If you restrict your mindset to constraints, you'll never innovate outside of them. Focus initially not on feasibility but about the best possible solution. Once identified, you can worry about implementation, but don't let it affect the solution."
And then it clicked — Why not just cut a table in half and put the hypotenuse flush against the wall!?
Most people lost me at "cut the table in half", but anyone who regularly thinks outside the box is familiar with this feedback. In fact, this negative feedback is what I use to validate many ideas. If I get the Okay from too many people, I know the idea is not original or disruptive enough.
If you're not prepared to be wrong, you will never come up with anything original.
– Sir Ken Robinson
The smartphone case your choose becomes an important part of the image you project — whether you took the extra time to differentiate, or just settled for one of the gel cases inside AT&T.
I do though, knowledge the uneven playing field that exists for Android users. As of December 2011, Wikipedia lists 133 different mobile phones that use Android and designing for each of these is illogical. One of the main reason I switched from the Samsung Galaxy S (Captivate) was boring case options. Not only conducive for developers, but the iPhone's single form-factor every two years allows for specialized peripherals.
With a bit of shame but complete honesty, I can say I've looked at over 90% of all iPhone cases currently in production. Here I present three unique styles (all from the Pacific Northwest!) in an attempt to convince you to ditch that standard gel case your share with millions of smartphone users around the world.
Tune in to next week's episode of Intervention because I've got an obsession with bamboo. My aesthetic could be described as Contemporary Luxury and bamboo says it all. Minimalistic with modern and clean lines, bamboo's natural texture offers a sense of luxury reinforced by its natural feel. Though I present three cases here, this is easily my default choice. With the ability to upload custom vector designs, each case hand finished by the Grove team in Portland Oregon, offers a truly personalized option for the eccentric iPhone users like myself. I chose the 2 Birds design by Seattle artist Mike Klay because of its intricate but clean design. Along with its faint smell of bamboo comes the appreciation knowing that this case was at one point a living breathing form of life, as opposed to a silicon injected mold from China. With a 6 week turnaround and price point starting at $69, these cases might be reserved for those big mobile & design nerds, though I've never once doubted my investment.
An obsession with streamlined design had left me hopeless in the search for a phone case & wallet combo until I found this diamond in the rough from the 2010 founded shop Landmarks & Lions. Completely off the grid (a key for differentiation) L&L uses quality materials like this black lambskin leather and turquoise wool felt to create luxurious and functional accessories. Since I can get by with only my driver's license and debit card, this is my go-to case when going super-streamlined.
If I wasn't so darn clumsy, there would be no need for a case. Because honestly, there is nothing sexier than the feeling of a naked… iPhone 4S in your hands. Even with Gorilla Glass on the front screen, this phone might not survive your lifestyle (and it's definitely not college-proof!). But there are still options to customize your phone in the form of these stainless steel-etched back plates offered by Seattle based Luxe Plates. Applied using a removable adhesive, these plates sport a textured and rebellious look while preserving the original form factor.
Have you found a well designed and unique case? (and I'm not talking about attaching a bottle opener…) Snap a pic and share your smartphone cases for others to see.

"First thing work related is when we did two shows in Prospect Park in Brooklyn. It was outdoor, which was sweet, the energy of those shows is awesome and it was a lot of old friends and people I haven't seen in a while, it was a really positive experience. It was two shows, one right after the other and we had a couple of friends do a stage set up, so it was a pretty elaborate production. I don't think I'd like to do that all the time, but for a special event it was really special."
awesome, i was at one of those shows, and the set was amazing and really trippy. water themed, they had island huts and big waves that moved up and down and a big shark head that came across the stage.
I still hate myself for not going to that.
