Welcome to Patch's daily snapshot of sports in Pleasantville and Briarcliff Manor.
Sundberg Shut Down Golden Knights in Complete Game Win
We thank the Sports Information Department for the below submissions:
PLEASANTVILLE, N.Y.- Brian Sundberg (Westbury, NY/W.T. Clarke) tossed a complete game three-hitter as the Setters defeated the Golden Knights of the College of Saint Rose 3-1 in Northeast-10 Southwest Division action. The Setters improve to 11-10 overall, 3-3 in the NE-10 and 2-0 in the Southwest. Saint Rose falls to 7-13, 1-5 in the NE-10 and 1-1 in the division.
Saint Rose scored in the opening inning for an early 1-0 lead but Sundberg did not surrender a run the rest of the way. The Setters got the offense going in the first as Chris Roemer (Ardsley, NY/Ardsley) reached on an error and stole second base. James Pjura (Shelton, CT/Shelton) drove in Roemer with a single to tie the game at one.
The Setters took the lead in the second as Joe Lombardi (Briarcliff, NY/Briarcliff) doubled and eventually scored as Roemer reached base on an error. Pace added an insurance run in the eighth as Robert Horn (Stamford, CT/Westhill) singled and moved to second on a sac bunt. Patrick Chaputian (Sea Cliff, NY/North Shore) drove in Horn with a single for a 3-1 Setter lead.
Sundberg (3-2) was outstanding on the hill for the Setters as he allowed three hits in a complete game effort, while striking out six.
Drury Has Career Day as Setters Split Bentley; Post 20th Win of the Season
, N.Y.- Freshman Jeane Drury (Flanders, NJ/Morris Catholic) had a career-day for the Setters as she went 4-for-4 with three homeruns and five RBI's as the Setters split a doubleheader against the Falcons of Bentley University in Northeast-10 Conference action. Pace took the opener 7-3 but fell in the nightcap 8-3. The Setters are now 20-6 overall and 8-4 in the NE-10, while Bentley stands at 4-16 and 2-10 in conference play.
In the opener, Pace got on the board in the second inning as Natalie Gellos (Seattle, WA/Holy Names Academy) doubled and scored on a two-run homerun by Drury. Bentley rallied with three runs in the third inning.
Drury tied the game in the fifth as she hit a solo homerun to lead off the inning. The Setters broke it open in the sixth as Pace capitalized on a Falcon error to push across four runs in the inning. Rachael McMahon (Corona, CA/ Esperanza) and Lana Buchbinder (San Francisco, CA/George Washington) both drove in a run each with RBI singles, while Sabrina Gonzalez (Oxnard, CA/Ventura College) drove in two runs with a base hit.
Softball Blasts Six Homeruns En-Route to Sweep over Stonehill

Chapter 10 Reviews
Ranma and Grave head out.
Part One
Disclaimer: I don't own Gold Digger, Fred Perry does. I don't own Ranma 1/2, Rumiko Takahashi does.
This is an A.U. fic. It happens before the start of the Ranma 1/2 manga and during issue 47 of Volume 2 of the Black and White series of Gold Digger.
The world was quiet as the dawn broke with the sun peeking over the horizon. The light continued unobstructed as it passed over the land. The light filtering in one cave happened to pass over a certain young Lycanthropoid. Grave squinted her eyes a bit, then cracked them open a bit as she woke up, the first thing she noticed was the sleeping face of the boy she had met yesterday. The next thing she noticed was the fact that his arms were wrapped around her body as she lay on top of him. "He held me? All night?" Her eyes misted as she remembered his kindness to her. "Kindness I never, ever got before." She buried her face in his chest as she let out tears of happiness.
She blinked when she felt his arms tighten a bit around her. "So why are you crying Grave?" Grave looked up, with tears silently falling down her face to Ranma's blue orbs. "A cute girl like you shouldn't cry like that."
Grave smiled and rested her head on Ranma's chest, she spoke clearly enough for Ranma to hear it. "I-I'm just so happy."
Ranma blinked. "Girls cry when they're happy?"
Grave nodded. "Yes."
"Okay." Ranma just continued to hold her to him, the feelings of her body pressed against his was causing feelings he hadn't experienced before to come forth. Grave smiled on top of him, just enjoying being held as it made her feel safe and warm, she wiggled and snuggled her body closer to Ranma's.
After several minutes Ranma asked a question that was on his mind. "Say Grave?"
"Just where are we? I really don't know where I am."
Grave frowned a bit, and then muttered. "We're on Jade. A whole different world from Earth, that is if you are from Earth."
Ranma nodded and rubbed his hands up and down her back. "Yeah, I'm from Earth." He then frowned, "You really need some clothes don't you?"
Grave nodded against his chest. "Yes. But if I go to any town, people will just tell those others that are after me and then they'll find me and then. ." Grave trailed off as she started sobbing out that if the people she were running from found her, they'd kill her in an instant.
Ranma frowned and hugged her to him a bit tighter. "Don't worry about it Grave. I won't let anything happen to you."
Grave lifted her head up to look Ranma in the eye. Greenish eyes met blue. "You mean it?"
Ranma nodded. "Yeah, I promise you. They'd have to kill me first, I don't let my friends get hurt like that."
Ranma was surprised as Grave kissed him on the lips. His eyes bulged a bit for a while, but since Grave didn't stop, he gave into the kiss and was soon kissing back. Ranma closed his eyes and placed a hand on the back of Grave's head. This continued for a bit, when Grave's eyes opened a bit, she pulled back and looked at him. "Thanks." She smiled and sat up, stretching a bit, with both arms up as she leaned back just a little to get the kinks out of her body.
Ranma blushed as he watched her stretch; he still remembered that free show he received last night. "Eh heh. But, why thank me?"
Grave looked at him curious. "You mean you don't know?"
Ranma shook his head, trying to think of what he did to get her to say thank you. "All I did was give ya some of my clothes last night."
Grave shook her head. "You mean you really don't know?"
"Yeah, I mean, I did what anyone would do."
Grave shook her head. "You did more than that, you were kind to me. You're the first person to ever be kind to me." Grave sighed; she didn't want to start crying again. "But, you're right, I do need new clothes. But, you don't have any money."
Ranma shrugged and grinned. "Yeah, so? I always find a way of getting what I need."
Grave nodded, she trusted him. She got off of him, Ranma grinned and got up as well. "Well Grave, how about we just travel for a bit then?"
Ranma nodded and went to go and get his stuff packed up. "I don't have a lot of friends in my life, plus I don't know where I'm at. So how about it? You don't want those people coming after you, and I don't want to be alone right now. Plus I said I'd get you some clothes, so, I will."
Grave smiled as he put the last of his stuff away. "Thanks."
Ranma smiled. "No problem."
Soon Ranma was packed and the two were heading for the nearest town, along the way Ranma decided to talk a bit to Grave, telling him a bit about him. "So then we left Ucchan there. I still don't know why he was running after us, or why we got his cart as a gift."
Grave nodded. "Wow, this Ukyou boy sounds like a neat friend."
Ranma nodded. "Yeah, and, uh oh." Ranma stopped, narrowed his eyes and looked around, while he was doing that, he dropped his backpack.
"There's a bunch of people all around us."
Grave blinked when suddenly ten big, muscular men surrounded them. All of them were scarred up and rather filthy, Grave nearly threw up from the smell.
All of them had dirty, filthy pants on, slimy from not washing them. The pants were gray and matted with mud. None of them were wearing shirts, so their scarred bodies were on display.
Grave blanched as she took this all in. "Yuck!"
The leader, Stan, looked amused; he was about six feet tall and had slimy black hair. "A Werecheetah? Heh heh. Boys we just found ourselves a valuable piece here."
A bald man, who was about five foot eight, chuckled. "Boss, not only would she be valuable, but she's got a great ass too."
Grave shuddered at that, feeling repulsed at that. Normally compliments like that would feel nice, but considering just WHAT, these thugs didn't deserve to be called people, the words were coming from, it made her sick.
Ranma narrowed his eyes at the group, he had seen people like this before in the bigger cities, bullies and cowards, they were only strong in a group, plus they liked to pick on people weaker than they were.
Stan chuckled a bit and spoke to Ranma. "Look kid, just give us the Werecheetah and we'll let you go free." He then smirked. "First we'll have some 'fun' with her, and then sell her on the Black Market."
Ranma frowned and whispered to Grave. "Can ya do that hot mist thing again?"
"Scalding Mist? Yeah why?" Grave whispered back to him.
"Can you make it super hot?"
Grave grinned. "How hot do you need it?"
"Good, make it as hot as you can and fry the jerks that are behind us." Ranma whispered as the bandits came closer. "I'll take out the three in front, that leaves four others, ready? NOW!!"
"Scalding Mist!" Grave turned and spread her arms out, causing the bandits behind her, three of them to get hit with water at 100 degree centigrade, or boiling point. Grave made it extra hot, just so she made the jerk pay who commented on her butt. The three screamed in agony as they were burned.
Rushing forward faster than what the bandits thought possible, Ranma smacked Stan in the chin, sending him flying into a tree. Ranma then side-kicked the other guy in the throat and into a tree.
The remaining thieves were surprised, but they quickly got over it, one of which had a bolo, a rope with weighted ends, specifically metal. He threw it and it wrapped around Grave's legs and tail, wrapping them together and causing her to fall to the ground. "What the?" Grave fell to the ground, she tried to use her magic to levitate, but something was stopping her magic from working correctly.
Two of the bandits converged on Grave, while the other two went to help their comrade, who was just knocked out from a rather painful knee to the gut and uppercut combo. Ranma turned around to prepare to fight them, but then he made the mistake of turning his attention elsewhere and saw Grave on the ground as two bandits approached her. He only turned away for a second, but that was all the other two needed as they attacked him. Ranma turned to them, since he was caught a bit off guard, he was a little off-balance. He Judo threw one guy away from him, but the other one hit him in his back, Ranma grimaced but did a spin kick to the guy's ribs. The guy that Ranma threw got back up and threw a heavy rock that was on the ground, which hit the boy to the ground. They wasted no time and then jumped on top of him, each one grabbing a limb on either side of his body.
They lifted him up and a tubby guy, with slimy brown hair, the one who threw the rock looked at Ranma. "Heh, boy, you shoulda let us just have her, we woulda let ya go and not have ta see this, but I guess ya have ta be stupid huh?"
The other two bandits were on top of Grave, one of which, a six foot five guy with red hair that looked like a bird's nest, held Grave by her arms painfully.
The other guy was a five foot five sweaty, smelly, pudgy, but muscled and scarred individual.
Grave struggled. "Let me GO!"
The guy in front of her chuckled. "Oh? You think we'll let a little girl like you go?" He looked up and down her body. "You don't look like much, must be a fourteen year old or something." He smirked. "But a rather well developed fourteen year old." He reached up and groped one of Grave's breasts through her shirt.
Grave closed her eyes and winced, the man was being rather mean and forceful about it. "Ugh."
Ranma was watching this growling, he made a promise to protect Grave, and right now he wasn't doing a very good job, 'If only there was someway to get free, if only there was something that could help.' Ranma closed his eyes and accessed his inner being, trying to find something, anything that could help out right now. He found a wall, a dark wall and a wave of fear coming from it. Ranma mentally shuddered, 'The Neko-ken?' What Genma didn't know, was that Ranma, several months before they reached Jusenkyo, was trying to consciously tap into the power of that technique. But no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't do it without passing out. Ranma figured he just didn't have a reason to try and learn the technique fully, and that's why he didn't master it. But now he did, he had one reason, that was to protect his friend, even if he could only tap into the power just a little bit, it would be better than nothing at all.
Unbeknownst to Ranma, while his eyes were closed the two bandits that were holding him blinked when he started glowing a pale golden color. "Um, is supposed to glow like that, Rich?" The one who had spoken to Ranma earlier asked.
"Don't know. Unless he's a mage of some type."
The first guy gulped. "A m-mage?"
They didn't get to speculate on it any longer as the boy started glowing a brilliant golden sheen, he snapped his arms and legs out and pulled them back close to his body, he ducked his head as the two bandits clonked their heads together. This caused them to let go of Ranma, who turned to them and they gulped when they saw the feral, slightly insane look in his eyes.
Meanwhile the other two weren't watching this, so they didn't know what was about to happen, the one in front of Grave spoke. "Hmm, you know, maybe we should keep her as our personal whore?"
Grave shivered and glared defiantly at him. "Do that and I'll kill you."
The one holding her chuckled. "She's a feisty one, you know what they say about women with fiery tempers, Joe."
Joe chuckled. "Yeah, they're wildcats in the sack." He then smirked. "And since she's a Werecheetah, she'll be an even wilder cat in the sack."
The guy holding her looked a bit doubtful. "I'm not so sure. I mean, she only has one eye stripe, not to mention human ears."
"Heh, true."
Suddenly, they heard a noise, Joe, turned to look, only to receive a tree limb to the face, thrown at high speeds, knocking him out. The guy who was holding Grave shuddered, let the Lycanthropoid go as she fell to the ground, as he took in the sight of a golden glowing human, but this human had a feral look in his eyes, like he wasn't completely there. Behind the boy were the other two bandits, beaten and bloody.
Bob, the one that had been holding Grave, took a couple steps back and turned to run, only to find the boy in front of him. "I don't think so." The boy growled out as he jumped toward Bob at higher speeds than before, and kicked him in the gut, causing Bob to double over in pain, then Ranma pulled his hand back, put all his strength into it and delivered an open-palm strike to Bob's cheek and jaw, shattering the bone and causing Bob to fall down and into unconsciousness.
Ranma fell to his knees, panting, as the golden glow left him; he looked up and around and was confused when he saw all the bandits out cold. Shrugging he made his way to Grave. "You okay?"
Grave nodded. "Yeah, but what was with the golden glow?"
Ranma scratched his head. "Golden glow?"
"Never mind, can you help me get this off?"
"Sure." Ranma went to his pack and pulled out a knife. He then cut the rope that had Grave's legs wrapped up. "There you go." Ranma then went back to his pack, put the knife away and hefted it up. "So what's this about a golden glow?"
Grave blinked as she stood up. "You mean you don't know? Just a second." Grave turned and looked at Joe, "Ice Lance!" Grave threw her hand back, gripped it like she was holding something and then threw a spear of pure ice at Joe, who turned into a human Popsicle. "That was for groping me, you jerk!" Grave turned back to Ranma. "So, you don't know huh?"
Ranma shook his head as he looted through the bandits, taking their money. "Nope, no idea." It seemed that only Stan, the leader of the gang, had any money. Ranma didn't know much about currency, but he found about 100 silver pieces, 100 gold pieces, and 50 pieces of some type of metal that he had never seen before. Ranma didn't know it, but he had 50 pieces of platinum.
Ranma looked at Grave as he held up the bag of money. "So why don't you tell me about it while we head to the nearest town. I think I got enough money to get you some clothing."
Grave smiled and nodded. "Sure." And so, the two took off.
A.N. Yes Ranma has some, I repeat some control of the Neko-ken, but not conscious. It's a semi-conscious thing with him, at least right now. Ranma can only gain the Neko-ken's abilities when he absolutely needs them and only while he's fighting, due to battle stress. In a way, it's like the Light Hawk Wings that Tenchi uses, he can only use them when absolutely necessary.
The feral look, in case you're wondering, in his eyes is due to the cat spirit of the Neko-ken semi-merging with Ranma for short periods of time. All Ranma gains now are slightly enhanced strength and reflexes, later, who knows?

My title got your attention, eh? Good. It should. No matter how great of a college student you may be, chances are you want to get out of school as soon as possible. School is tough, expensive, and time consuming. It's logical to want out in the shortest amount of time possible. Lucky for you, you can bypass a full 12 hours of learning just by taking one 90 minute CLEP test. Don't believe me? Let me explain…
How CLEP Tests Work
CLEP tests are exams issued by the College Board in order to allow students a chance to earn college credit without actually taking college courses. If you know a lot about a subject to the point that you would pass a class on it right now, you can take a test to get you out of a full semester or more of learning. There are over 30 CLEP tests available, so surely you can find something that will provide you with college credit if you study enough.
What's This 12 Hours in 90 Minutes Business?
For those of you that skipped right to this section, please read the one above. It explains the idea I'm about to elaborate on. Most CLEP tests only offer three to four hours of college credit because of the classes they reflect. English, math, and other basic courses are only three to four credit hours, so the tests that correspond to them only offer that amount of credit hours. Foreign language courses, on the other hand, are usually five credit hours or more because of the intense learning they require.
When you take a foreign language CLEP test, like French, German, or Spanish, you have the potential to earn up to 12 credit hours if you pass. The tests are only 90 minutes max, so you could actually get 12 hours of college credit in 90 minutes. See, I wasn't "joshing" you.
Benefits of Taking Foreign Language CLEP Tests
Most online degree programs nowadays require students to take at least two semesters of a foreign language class to graduate. With a language class being five credit hours and a passing test score covering twelve credit hours, you could actually bypass all of your foreign language education just by taking this 90 minute exam. This may be the best 90 minutes you've ever spent, aside from the time you watched your first Paul Rudd movie. Sigh, I adore him. Anyway…
CLEP tests cost much less than tuition will for a college class, so you can save money by taking an exam like this. You will also get a chance to shorten your degree program because you will shave off the time you would have spent in class. If you take other tests aside from the language ones, you could actually drop a full year off your degree program through CLEP tests alone. The newfound freedom will speak for itself.
If you already speak a foreign language, a CLEP test may be your gateway to free college credit. Why not earn a reward for being bilingual? You can't help the fact that you're awesome like that. All you have to do is look for the test you would logically pass and take it. The process is that simple.
Now that you know how to get 12 college credit hours in 90 minutes, spread the word. Taking one of these tests could allow you to get out of taking a course you might hate, and it will help you move on with your degree program. You'll see the benefits soon enough.

Moyes' praise for Adkins and Lambert.
David Moyes reserved praise for two local men as the Blues prepare to renew a rivalry with south coast Southampton.
Saints were familiar top-flight foes before their relegation in 2005 with Saturday's Premier League fixture the first meeting between the sides in seven years.
But while many in the visiting party will be experiencing the footballing hotbed of Merseyside for the first time – two of their number know it all too well.
Birkenhead-born boss Nigel Adkins has steered the club to consecutive promotions with the help of Fazakerley native Rickie Lambert's goals.
Moyes said: "Southampton are a club who are doing very well. They have come up through a couple of divisions and are rightfully back in the Premier League.
"I am really happy with how we are playing but they will give us a hard game.
"They had a good win against Aston Villa last week and will probably feel more confident about where they are and I am sure they will come here and give us a decent game.
"Nigel Adkins deserves a lot of credit for his work. He has done great over the past few years and to get them up twice is a remarkable achievement."
Striker Lambert established a reputation as one of the best goalscorers in the lower leagues, first with Rochdale and then Bristol Rovers.
His return at Southampton has been nothing short of phenomenal and while some doubted he could step up again, he has four in five Premier League matches.
Moyes said: "Rickie came to my attention when he was at Bristol Rovers. The time we were looking around the leagues and we took Jermaine Beckford, it was around when Rickie was about to go to Southampton.
"So we were aware of him and his goalscoring record and he has done great. To come through the leagues shows a great deal of hunger and determination to improve and he has done that."

These 3 words are op opposite to how lyreco operates. They don't trust people and they bully them.they won't change to adapt to current market they're too greedy and have too much overheads. Their business hasn't grown for last 7 years and is in decline. Their ethos is close to 0 and stress is first thing you'd feel from day 1 as an employee. Bullying all way long… Read Full Review

I love Lyreco. No delivery charges, no min order value and its your tomorrow or yours free! I've never had an invoice query or any back orders. My delivy driv puts the goods where I want them put and my rep keeps me posted on what's new. Best of all though is I'm thanked for my business every month and my rep proactively looks at ways to save me money by offering discounts nd other product offerings.

Having worked in both the Corporate & Dealer market I can honestly say Dealers are the way forward. A key point being that the majority of dealers will buy products together which vs the Corporate Stationers gives them much better buying power. The service form a dealer is much more personal, you are not just another number but an integral part of their business which more often then not means they will bend over backwards to help you in any which way they can. We know use our dealer (Jamie… Read Full Review

Will never use again, very pushy sales rep, prices quoted weren't honoured and promised credit notes took ages to arrive after constant calling.

We are still using that company who are both efficient and honest, something Lyreco will never be accused of… Read Full Review

I feel that your comment is aimed at your rep not at the company, I know Lyreco and i have a very good rep who does everything that is promised at times that are promised. I have a core list which is discounted highly and I have a unpriced catalogue but I do have a discounted price list to go with it whch shows exactly how much discount vs RRP i am getting so I think that maybe you just had a bad rep. Maybe you should always judge a book by its cover!!.

Don't judge a company on an experience with a bad sales rep. Not indicative of the company just one individual who is probably no longer with the company,
Written on: 26/03/2014
Yeah! Don't judge it on the prices either....they will change next year!
Stupid comment. The sales rep is your point of contact, if they are bad, the company is bad.
Written on: 12/01/2011
Beware beware lyreco make thier sales people work on a 48% margin otherwise they do not get commission so prices are high. They suck you in with low prices and push them up gradually. They only discount the items you use regually so when you purchase anything else you pay highly inflated prices. I would never use this company again… Read Full Review
Written on: 26/07/2011
I think your information is wrong! I work for lyreco and we dont work to a 48% margin. We dont push prices up they go up in line with manufacturers increases. And we give notice to this happening and try to hold back prices as long as possible. We give a heavy discount on regular use items as this is where you save the most money. You should have an account manager who would be happy to discount one off items if you feel they are too costly. If the MOD trust us with their account along with a lot of the top companies in the uk we cant be all bad!

I am not surprised a government organisation use Lyreco. Let the rep do all the work, who cares if their prices are high. It is no skin off the nose of the MOD staff. They are not paid to get good prices.

\" If the MOD trust us with their account \"
The same MOD who pay £20 for a standard energy saving lightbulb?
If you can heavily discount items so easily, does that not suggest you weren't quoting prices competitively to start with?

Lyreco are an amazing company to deal with. Their service is 2nd to none. When the account manager called he made lots of statements about being 'best in industry' (B.O.S.S) and having environment awards (Gold Green Apple) and guaranteed to beat my Local supplier I had used for years. Needless to say he was 100% correct and honest. We had a great meeting where he showed me a 50% saving and it was a matter of minutes to set up the account. Any other products I need non core I phone him for and… Read Full Review

My rep was useless and so was her replacement, and so was her replacement. They all drove TOP OF THE RANGE cars. Lyreco can afford it, their prices are through the roof. I needed a shredder. The rep quoted £160 plus vat. I asked for a discount. I was offered £80. I asked again and was offered £50. Bought one from PC World for £33!
Written on: 18/05/2010
We started using Lyreco when their Rep called around with some good offers. The deliveries are always good and the driver will bring heavy boxes into the office for us.
Then I ordered something from the book that has no prices in it....my god ! No wonder they don't put prices in ..a real rip off. Our Rep gave me a credit but the principle is all wrong , and then after about 9-10 months I noticed that even my discounted list was creeping up back to more than my old supplier who had held… Read Full Review

We do not get told off, some reps are more pro active than others. I look after my customers the way I would want to be looked after and I do a very good job making sure all my clients are happy and get the best prices and service.
ukkevin01 you sound like an ex rep thats got a bee in your bonnet commenting on every post. coming across a very bitter person, more than likely got the sacked for not being very good.

Yeah, you are a saint. You would work for nothing, because Lyreco are so wonderful.
You are a rep....on commission.....higher prices equals more commission.

From Halloween to New Year's Day, it's no surprise that most people tend to indulge on treats and sweets. But the Avera McKennan Fitness Center is helping keep your bathroom scale in check this holiday season.
Let's face it, everyday is a good day to go to the gym. But with the holidays rapidly approaching, it's probably more important than ever to get working out.
"There's so many people who say they gain 5-10 pounds during the holidays so we put this incentive program together for our members to help with accountability yet make it fun." Said fitness instructor Karri Stearns.
It's called 'Turkey Burn' and is a special workout program at the Avera McKennan Fitness Center. like the name implies, it targets one specific holiday meal.
"I read an article that the average Thanksgiving meal in the United States is 3000 calories! So it's nice to get a good burn in before that Thanksgiving meal comes around." Said member Travis Venner.
While preparing for that feast is a great motivator for Travis, he says just signing up is also a motivation.
"If you have a goal and sign up for something it will make you more accountable to come into the gym, workout, and have better health overall." Said Venner.
And who could say no to a little friendly competition? Every fifth workout, participants earn a feather to pin on the turkey.
"Just that little extra receiving a reward may help people to maintain coming in and exercise and feel good about themselves." Said Mary Venner.
With every workout logged, they can also earn a T-shirt to help motivate others to join in and start working off their tail feathers.
"They have to earn their first feather, they have to do 5 work outs and then they get their free shirt." Said Stearns.
The 'Turkey Burn' is a group but the workouts are what you make them. If you want to walk, you can walk. If you're like the Venners and are training for a marathon, you can push yourself a little harder.
"It's not a weight reduction program or an incentive to lose weight, this is an incentive just to maintain our weight." Said Stearns.
The goal of the 'Turkey Burn' is help encourage physical fitness before turkey day rolls around with the hope that participants continue their workouts after the feast.
"It's a good program to start, you don't have to be an elite athlete or running 5K's but you have to start somewhere." Said Venner.
So when that pumpkin pie is passed around the table you'll know you've truly burned and earned it.
According to a recent study, Americans on average only gain about one pound over the holidays. But that doesn't mean you should avoid the gym. For more information about 'Turkey Burn' or becoming a fitness center member just call 877-AT-AVERA.

Warren County Pursuit and Arrest
Date of News Release: 09/21/2006
(BOWLING GREEN, KY) - Brady Lockhart and Donnie Phelps were operating a 1995 Volvo and going down Willoughby Lane in Bowling Green. KSP followed behind the vehicle until they turned onto the 4000 block of Glen Lily Road. The passenger (Donnie Phelps) in the vehicle was being sought after on charges of theft by failure to make required disposition. When the investigating officer attempted to make a traffic stop on the vehicle, the driver (Brandy Lockhart) accelerated to speeds of over 70 mph. Mr. Phelps bailed out of the moving vehicle shortly after the pursuit started carrying a 3 year old child in his arms. The investigating unit placed Mr. Phelps into custody without incident and placed him in the rear of his car. When the unit went to check on the driver and the child, the suspect became combative and proceeded to kick out the rear driver side window of the cruiser. The subject became compliant after a short burst of OC Spray was utilized. The driver of the vehicle was taken into custody without incident and the child was not injured as a result of this incident. The child was released to a Grandmother at the scene. Both suspects were lodged in the Warren County Regional Jail.

Yes, very sad it got replaced with some gay book about a stupid boy named Titch (which was adapted into a TV series that I used to watch in the 90's XD How sad am I?)

Adult Nonfiction D753 .P27 2009
Summary: An inside look at the work and adventures of Harry Hopkins and Averell Harriman in the creation of history's most remarkable international partnershipAfter the fall of France in June 1940, London became the center of world political theater. For the U.S. president, the vital question was: could Britain, with American help, hold out against the might of Nazi Germany? While keeping the United States officially neutral, Franklin D. Roosevelt devised an unprecedented strategy, leading to the revolutionary idea of lend-lease. But was Winston Churchill-famous as a speechmaker but regarded by many as a reckless politician and possibly a drunk-a good bet? To find the answer, Roosevelt dispatched his closest associate, Harry Hopkins, to Britain on a mission. Hopkins's endorsement of Churchill put an end to FDR's doubts, and with the passage of the Lend-Lease Act the president sent Averell Harriman, a wealthy financier and entrepreneur, to London "to keep the British Isles afloat." For Harriman, the assignment turned out to be the great adventure of a remarkable life.Filled with vivid details and great storytelling, To Keep the British Isles Afloat explores the still-misunderstood beginnings of the unique Anglo-American alliance in World War II, offering an intriguing new look at Roosevelt's thinking and a fresh perspective on the relationship between the president and the prime minister.

pretty damn good
Member since
good headphones, work well, sound is great, play/pause/skip/answer button works really well. my only complaint is that when i first got them they didnt stay in my ear too well. after breaking them in, they stay in just fine though. great buy, i'd recommend them.
Member since
Got them on sale fo $9.99 and its the best $10 I have ever spent. I would pay full price for them. The answer button isn't the most durable looking thing but I'm not too worried about it at all. The bass response is really good in my opinion and they just sounds great all around. Came with 3 different size ear plug things which i liked. Stay in well. I'm 6'2" and the cord is barely long enough so a longer cord would have been nice.
All around they are great so far.
do these have a button for music control...
Member since
do these have a button for music control like play and pause and answer a call and whatnot?
Member since
Play pause, answer, voice control on iPhone 4.... No volume controls though.
They sounds really good in my opinion.

I have the greatest respect for Anita Sarkeesian and i wish people would stop insulting her intelligence, anyone who finds a way to legally scam $150,000 from idiots via a crowd-funding website is far from stupid.
Adendum: It seems my powers of sarcasm were too strong for some people, so for the record i think Anita Sarkeesian is a conwoman who has stolen over $150,000 from well meaning but ultimately misguided white knights and given them a 24 minute video promoting her own horribly warped and twisted view of videogames in return.

Look! Minor Details in a Girl's Room
Jennifer of Minor Details has shared her daughter's room over at her blog. There are tons of great details to admire and that inspire from the mauve-colored walls and parquet floors, to the wonderful vintage finds. More pics below the jump...
6 Comments
What a lucky little girl to have such a sweet and thoughtful room. I love her use of vintage materials as well as some low-cost high-impact choices.
Beautiful wall color...
I love this room! How wonderful to see the vintage tutu as the inspiration for this beautifully designed room! Such a lucky little girl! Gail
I am surprised that nobody has asked about the beautiful rug. Jennifer, could you please tell me where you have found this rug, and what its name is. Thank you, Marina
Oh. My. Goodness. Princess bed. Want one!
Any thoughts on where I might find a desk similar to the antique one on the photo?

By RJ Cubarrubia
Fiona Apple visited Portland, Oregon's Newmark Theatre with Blake Mills last night, turning in a set that mixed folk, pop and other genres with ease. However, late in the set, the singer-songwriter had a tense encounter with a heckling audience member, leading Apple to throw the woman out of her show.
Bing: Rihanna booed at concert
According to the Oregonian, Apple had only two songs left to play when the heckler called out, "Get healthy -- we want to see you in 10 years." Apple was visibly shaken and responded harshly: "I am healthy! Who the [expletive] do you think you are?" she snapped back, according to Stereogum. "I want you to get the [expletive] out of here. I want the house lights on so I watch you leave!" A male audience member then called out, "You're a has-been!" As the unidentified heckler left, she found time to slip in another jab: "I saw you 20 years ago and you were beautiful!" she yelled.

After spending some time venting to the audience, Apple collected herself to perform "Waltz (Better Than Fine)," but sobbed through the track. She then apologized to the crowd and left the stage.
Apple's next show is scheduled for tonight at the Benaroya Hall in Seattle.

Tiin II
Under a dome of silence, candles glow
So do, your eyes, and mine amalgamate
I, senseless, nearly Earth not gyrating
Words I can't form, yet voice whisper loudly.
That hope of time could encumber its hand
In times, when each palm of ours hook up
Under an arctic spot, vows created
Within our bold hearts, bin doubt and deceit.
But there's a word stamped to reality,
Which I, veto, and never hope to come
Let the promises carved on countless stones.
Breathe with me and don't ever say goodbye.
'Til the last sand falls, for you I'll capsize
Within my soul, vows shall overawe time.

"American Idol" champ Fantasia Barrino stirred up controversy when she posted what seemed to be a slam against gay marriage.goodasyou.org) on Wednesday, "I Rise ABOVE IT ALL!!! THE WORLD IS GONE MAD. KIDS, THE GOVERNMENT THE church House... Everybody Trying!!!!!!!" Then she added, "Its a lot that going on that the Bible speaks about we should Not be doing. Weed legal in some places, Gay Marriage Legal BUT YET IM JUDGED!!! I'm not doing Nothing for you... My Life!!!!"
Singer Fantasia Barrino is expecting her second child. The star and her beau, Antwaun Cook, were spotted in Barbados last month, where the "Idol" alum sparked rumors she was pregnant after showing off a baby bump in her bathing suit.
Fantasia, 27, performed at a charity concert on Sunday in Jacksonville, Florida and made her big announcement to the crowd. The singer said, "For a while I walked around figuring out 'what will they say?' and 'what will they think about me?' But now I tell you I don't live my life for folk," adding, "This child that I am carrying... God has given me this child. And I don't have to hide it from none of y'all."
It's been two weeks since "American Idol" winner Fantasia Barrino attempted to take her life by ingesting a bottle of pills -- now she's opening up on what drove her to the breaking point.
Barrino, 26, sat down with "Good Morning America" on Tuesday for an emotional interview, where she relived the traumatic day.

As singer Fantasia Barrino was overdosing on aspirin and a sleep aid Monday night, an unidentified person -- who was outside of Fantasia's North Carolina home at the time -- called the 911 operator, saying the former "American Idol" winner was losing consciousness. Listen to the call!
After overdosing on aspirin and a sleep aid Monday night, "American Idol's" Fantasia Barrino is in stable condition.
The singer's manager, Brian Dickens, released a statement to "Extra" saying, "Last night, Fantasia was hospitalized. She took an overdose of aspirin and a sleep aid. Her injuries are not life threatening. She was dehydrated and exhausted at the time. She was totally overwhelmed by the lawsuit and the media attention. Fantasia is stable now."
"American Idol" Fantasia Barrino was rushed to the hospital Monday in Charlotte, N.C. for what has now been confirmed as a "medication overdose."
The singer's overdose was apparently caused by a combination of aspirin and a sleep aid, her rep told TMZ, but it's not "life threatening."

Liberals Decry Black Conservatives At Beck's Restoring Honor Rally; "Christianity Is A White Man's Religion"
At Glenn Beck's 'Restoring Honor' rally this past Saturday in Washington, D.C, a group of black Conservatives were approached by liberals who think they know best what African Americans should do and think. One says "What happened to your African religion? You're supposed to be Muslim." Then, one of the tolerant liberals drops a word-bomb with a splash of racism, "Christianity is a white man's religion." Leave it to the sheeple debating these guys who believe everything they are told as the absolute truth. For buying into political correctness in history, they sure don't hold PC highly while claiming that Christianity is a white mans religion. Double standard much? By the way, where was the racism from the 'crazy right-wing fringe extremists that don't represent a majority of America'' crowd at Beck's rally? That's right. There wasn't any.

I finally got to visit one of the classic (and often cited) sex shops this past week in San Francisco, Good Vibrations. The San Francisco store is most famous for originally functioning as a worker-owned sex toy collective (as are relatively common in SF) but in 2005, the cooperative structure was abandoned and they became a more traditional corporate entity.
I never visited the store before 2005, so I can't say from first hand experience, but I've heard that the store has changed a lot in that time. Good Vibrations also has locations in Berkeley and Brookline Massachusetts.
I found Good Vibes to be a pretty mainstream, though well-stocked, sex shop. Nothing in their company policies talks explicitly about feminism, but they do talk about being woman-focused, social change oriented and employing fair labor practices.
To be honest, looking over the mission and vision on their website gave me a much different impression that the store itself. The policies have a lot of discussion that I appreciate, particularly this statement about their "sex and gender policy:"
Good Vibrations has long accepted that gender and sex are subjective notions. The Good Vibrations Mission Statement champions diversity and difference as valuable facets of sexuality. All staff members have the right to present any gender or sex with the expectation that they will be supported and respected by the rest of the staff, including and not limited to names and pronoun usage appropriate to their gender identity. We invite you to read the Good Vibrations Sex and Gender Policy Good Vibrations Sex and Gender Policy.
The store itself, however, struck me as more mainstream mostly because of the size and strong Good Vibrations branding. They had a lot of GV products, things like the "sexcessories kit" or the "friday nite delight kit."
I think my impression of the store may be more from expectation of what a worker-owned sex toy shop would be like, and to be totally honest, possibly some feminist sex toy shop burnout. At this point I've visited more than ten different shops around the country, so it's the unique touches and pecularities that stand out.
Overall, Good Vibes has all the staples of a good feminist sex shop, including a wide range of toys, books and movies, products that are good for our bodies and staff who are knowledgeable and willing to do education for the customers.
Check them out online or in San Francisco, Berkeley or Brookline Massachusetts.

I already am,
I always was,
and I still have time to be.
These, however, are a little more unconventional, and therefore AWESOME… the genders of the previous symbols are reversed - for example, the person holding a child is now male - with the unavoidable exception of the pregnant woman. Not only does Vienna have a fantastic public transport system, it also has non-stereotypical signage. That's cool.
Priority seat symbols in Vienna… so far, pretty standard…

DiPrima Dolci Italian Bakery & Cafe
The Feast of the Seven Fishes(festa dei sette pesci), traditionally celebrated on Christmas Eve, also known as The Vigil (La Vigilia), is believed to have originated in Southern Italy and is not a known tradition in many parts of Italy. Today, it is a feast that typically consists of seven different seafood dishes. Some Italian American families have been known to celebrate with 9, 11 or 13 different seafood dishes. This celebration is a commemoration of the wait, Vigilia di Natale, for the midnight birth of the baby Jesus.
The long tradition of eating seafood on Christmas Eve dates from the Roman Catholic tradition of abstinence—in this case, refraining from the consumption of meat or milk products—on Fridays and specific holy days. As no meat or butter could be used on such days, observant Catholics would instead eat fish, typically fried in oil.
There are many hypotheses for what the number "7″ relates to, one being the number of Sacraments in the Roman Catholic Church. Another theory is that seven is a number representing perfection: the traditional Biblical number for divinity is three, and for Earth is four, and the combination of these numbers, seven, represents God on Earth, or Jesus Christ.
The "Feast of the Seven Fishes", a celebration of Christmas Eve with meals of fish and seafood, but there may be seven, eight, or even nine specific fishes that are considered traditional. The most famous dish Southern Italians are known for is baccalà (salted cod fish). Reasons for celebrating with such a simple fish as baccalà is attributed to the greatly impoverished regions of Southern Italy. Fried smelts, calamari, and other types of seafood have been incorporated into the Christmas Eve dinner over the years.

Four Analysts Make Four Calls That Are Worth Noting
Brian is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Sometimes an analyst issues a revised outlook or changes his/her rating but does not inform investors of the reasons behind the call. These typically move stocks on the call alone; the price target and outlook. However, some analysts provide detailed reasons behind the call and these are the outlooks that should be noted and used as part of your fundamental research. Therefore, I am taking a look at such outlooks and determining the best way to utilize the information.
U.S. Silica
Shares of U.S. Silica fell more than 6% in early trading after it was downgraded from "Buy" to "Hold". Jefferies cites its reason as being valuation related, due to the fact that shares have rallied 40% since the end of September. Furthermore, the firm remains bullish but insists that it's not willing to assume that capacity growth can remain aggressive or that the company can maintain 50% gross segment margins long-term.
My problem with the analysis from Jefferies, and the stock's reaction, is that U.S. Silica is not an excessively overvalued company. It trades with a forward P/E ratio of just 10.68 and a price/sales of 2.5. The company has made strides at improving its balance sheet and despite recent gains the stock has still underperformed the market over the last year. Therefore, I think Jefferies makes good points but that the pullback might be an opportunity.
Chesapeake Energy
Late Wednesday afternoon, J.P. Morgan upgraded shares of Chesapeake Energy by two notches from "Underweight" to "Overweight". Typically, such a boost would lead shares higher, but the comments of the firm actually pushed shares of the stock lower by more than 3%. The firm's upgrade is in connection with expected financial improvements and additional asset sales. However, financial risk and an expensive stock are reason for concerns.
For the most part I agree with J.P. Morgan, except for the notion that Chesapeake is expensive. This is a company with operating cash flow over $4 billion and a stock trading significantly below its book value per share. Therefore, I think these "risks" are priced into the stock and that its valuation is less of a concern.
Credit Suisse's initiation of coverage barely moved WhiteWave and the firm issued a very short note, but if correct, then the firm's $19 price target is highly obtainable. According to the firm, WhiteWave continues to outpace the overall growth of the grocery sector in the very important dairy product space. As a result, this accelerated growth should push shares higher over the next year.
Over the last year, shares of The WhiteWave Foods Co. has traded virtually flat. The reason has been slowed growth, which has slowed during the last few years, but has still been positive. My issue moving forward is whether or not the company's other segments can grow and keep pace with dairy if in fact dairy is the segment to watch.
Wells Fargo took the attention off AIG's lawsuit with a bearish case and a "Hold" rating from "Buy". The firm said that a lack of catalysts in 2013 will lead to an underperforming year. Furthermore, the reasons surrounded the company's potential decision to avoid buybacks in favor of improving its interest cover ratio. The firm believes that proceeds from the AIA sale will be used to pay off debt, not used for buybacks, which could have a negative effect on the stock.
If Wells Fargo is correct then it's very likely that shares of the company could trade flat or even lower in 2013. There's no doubt that investors expect buybacks, therefore the lack of catalysts and the absence of buybacks could be seen as a negative. After a 42% return in the last year, I'd watch this stock close for a correct call from Wells.
A firm that offers reasons for their call is taken more seriously due to providing substance for their reasons. However, like all analyst calls, there are always two sides to a story; and for every bullish call there is someone else who is bearish. Therefore, use this information as part of your research, but it shouldn't dictate your investment decision.
