The annual Parade of Lights is on Friday, November 23rd from 7:30pm - 8:30pm in downtown Sioux Falls. The Parade will come down Phillips Avenue from 14th Street to 5th Street.
The Parade of Lights is presented by Century Link. Starting at 7:30 Friday night beautiful, hand-crafted holiday floats and music will fill Phillips Avenue. The 21st annual Parade of Lights is kind of the kickoff to the Holiday season. Hundreds of people come down to this event every year. When it comes to parking officials say think about using a ramp in downtown which is free after 6:00p.m.
Groups spend months coming up with ideas for their floats. Then it takes a lot of time putting together some of these floats many of which are very involved with lights and moving parts. An award ceremony will follow the parade at the Holiday Inn City Centre in the Falls Room with complimentary cookies and hot apple cider from the Holiday Inn City Centre. Everyone is invited to attend the award ceremony at 100 E. 8th Street. There will be awards for floats in the following categories:
Best Use of Lights - This award is given to the float that shows the most ingenuity and engineering in light usage and special effects for visual appeal. (Judged by Neil Simons)
Best Workmanship - This award is given to the float that displays outstanding craftsmanship, neatness, attention to detail, overall design and usage of color and materials. (Judged by Dale Jans)
Spirit of Sioux Falls - This award is for the float exhibiting the most public appeal and charm, most creatively pleasing the crowd. (Judged by Sylvia Henkin)
Mayor's Choice - This award is given to the personal favorite of Sioux Falls Mayor. (Judged by Mayor Mike Huether)
Downtown Sioux Falls Award - This award is given to the favorite of DTSF board. (Judged by Terri Schuver)
We will get a sneak peak of the Raven Industries float Tuesday morning on the KSFY Morning News.

Hey, I snagged myself a famous bimajo. Bimajos are pretty hot these days, right?
It's interesting to see Japan finally find older women attractive when the rest of the world saw the light a long while ago. Yu Asakawa looks AMAZING for her age.
Getting past the looks, I think we need more people like Yu Asakawa to help build strong anime/manga communities outside of Japan. She is very passionate about otaku culture. Her continued desire to speak English says a lot about her commitment to the fans.
You can follow Yu Asakawa on Twitter at @Julia320.

Here's a scenario that I want everyone to imagine with me. Ready?
Think back to a time where computers didn't exist yet. Think back to when it was very difficult to find information about anything you wanted. Think back to when sharing one's interests over a huge communication channel was almost impossible without going to a big-name media outlet. Now, hold those thoughts and ask yourself if the Internet has the changed the way you think about manga. Regarding manga, the Internet has truly made it global, but with a price. I sometimes wonder if the Internet is both the creator and destroyer of manga fandom.
Before the Internet became popular, the only way I found out about manga news was through the defunct WIZARD Magazine. I remember the first manga I heard about from WIZARD was Masamune Shirow's Ghost In The Shell. After reading about the controversy surrounding Ghost in the Shell (i.e. the cybersex scene), the whole idea of manga began to appeal to me. I was watching Chinese dubs of Dragon Ball Z at the time and my interest in Japanese media continued to grow. When I found out Dragon Ball was originally a manga, I browsed text summaries of the original manga series online back in 1999. You don't know how obsessed I was with looking for information on DBZ at the time. Thankfully, VIZ Media released the Dragon Ball Z manga in America and I bought all the volumes. The same thing also happened when I followed Rurouni Kenshin in the early 2000s'. I was reading text summaries of chapters online, visiting fansites to satisfy my cravings, and later bought all the volumes because of my love for the samurai epic.
Fast forward to the proliferation of scanlations. I decided to follow BLEACH (during college around 2005) after hearing some of my friends watching the anime. I bought the first few volumes from VIZ and was hooked. What happened next was I began using the Internet to find out more information about the characters. I found out about what was currently going on in the BLEACH manga from a fansite at the time, which was Sosuke Aizen being revealed as the main villain. That just piqued my curiosity even more and I wanted to know what happens next. As a result, the world of scanlations entered my life. I was pretty ecstatic to know that I can keep up with what's happening with BLEACH. I also discovered many other series through scanlations as well. I was still buying manga and didn't really think about how scanlations affected the manga-publishing industry.
And now here we are with the manga industry in a huge state of flux. What does that tell me? The Internet (the power of the creator) is great for manga since it exposes everyone to a wide variety of series and creates passionate fan communities, but the Internet (the power of the destructor) gives off this illusion to certain people that manga easily grows on a tree and everything's dandy, when things really aren't fine.
I don't know about you, but there is one thing that bugs me about scanlations. Scanlators and aggregator sites often put up a disclaimer message telling everyone to buy and support a manga series if it's available in their region. But, what if the manga is not available in their region and possibly never will be? What if the reader is an 8-year old? Also, I know a few people who work full-time that read scanlations and are not even interested in buying physical copies of manga. Do scanlators even understand their intended audiences and their consequences as a whole?
The Internet has made me believe that manga will be an online-only interest globally and will stay that way (though it seems like it already is). Outside of Japan, manga is still very niche to a majority of people. Combine that with free scanlations and you have a recipe for "fun interest that appeals mostly to Internet folks". Though part of me believes the Internet is perfect for manga because most people like to read things online these days and they LOVE images on the Internet.
Another thing was that before the Internet, I thought every manga title out there was godly. Since the increased popularity of the 'Net, I realized that there's a lot of "junk" to sort through before you even get to the good stuff. Sometimes, I wonder how certain titles became published in the first place. Such is the harshness of reality.
One question does plague me: should the manga community accept those that read scanlations of a certain series and don't really buy any form of merchandise related to the series (yet are extremely passionate about it) as members of the community? Would someone care to enlighten me on how those fans should be viewed?
With these inner thoughts in mind, I continue to research the crazy world of manga online and offline (I still buy volumes of manga) as many series have worked their charm upon my visage. Oh Internet, you're as tempting as a bishojo girl nagging her "big brother" to spend time with her and leaving him with a colorful array of conflicted feelings.

Recently, I got an invite to join Pinterest, a new image-sharing social network that allows users to showcase pictures of what inspires or interests them. The neat feature about Pinterest is that you can create "Boards" of images. Boards are basically categories/folders that you can put images that you find in. You can create a "Board" for any topic you can think of from the top of your head. I created an "Anime/Manga Goodies" folder to showcase anime/manga pictures that I like from the site.
This is what Pinterest looks like when I search "anime".
The images posted to Pinterest are known as "Pins". There's even a "Pin It" button you can drag to your browser toolbar, so you can share any image you find on the Web to Pinterest.
What makes Pinterest stand out is the organization factor. Having "Boards" of certain types of photos showcases one's varied interests and users can separate images into whatever they like. Aspiring animators/artists can use the site to find worthy pictures and put them in a Board that can go by the name of "Inspirational Pictures" or something similar.
If you're an anime/manga blogger, this is another source of promotion. You can promote images from your blog onto Pinterest to drive traffic and network with other users. Your profile can be customized to include a link to your blog. Pinterest is another way to get readers to know you better as well. If you want readers to know about your other passions (food, music, etc.) in vivid detail, this is a great site to showcase them.
As of right now, Pinterest is still in beta and it can only be accessed by invite-only. You can go to the website and click the "Request an Invite" button.
I think the site can really take off for fans of anime and manga to share a variety of images and what they love with other fans in a clean, user-friendly format. So, get out there and start pinning your love of moe, ecchi, or whatever floats your boat!
Though it seems like mostly women will enjoy Pinterest more given the dominant topics for the site, so shall we assume that Pinterest will be a site that fujoshi will go crazy over? Suggestive male coupling pictures, here we come!

Matthew / chapter 19 (read the chapter)
The next time you crack an egg into a bowl, take time to notice the distinctiveness of the yolk and the white. If you wanted, you could even separate them into two bowls. (Many a delicious recipe begins that way.) Now, what if I asked you to whisk the yolk and the white together and then separate them again? You would tell me that's impossible. Once those two things have become one, it is impossible to separate them.
The same thing is true of marriage. Really.
The Pharisees came to Jesus with an interesting question that makes me think they viewed marriage in their culture quite a bit as we have come to view it in ours: "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?" (vs 3)
In the early days of Israel's history, God had allowed divorce in certain cases "because of the hardness of your hearts," Jesus said (vs 8), but the Israelites had taken that concession and expanded it to include such petty things as divorcing your wife because she burnt your toast.
The Pharisees hoped to trap Jesus with their question. If He answered that it was lawful to divorce a woman for any reason, then He would appear to make light of Mosaic law. But if He answered that it was unlawful to divorce a woman for any reason, He would lose favor with the people (who had come to love their quickie divorces).
But, when He answered them, instead of talking about divorce, Jesus talked about marriage: "'Surely you have read in the Scriptures: When God made the world, "he made them male and female." And God said, "So a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two will become one." So there are not two, but one. God has joined the two together, so no one should separate them.'" (vs 4-6)
In describing how God designed marriage, I think Jesus was trying to point out that divorce is impossible. That is not to say that it can't be done—it is done every day! But even if the legal ties may be cut and the possessions apportioned to either party, it is truly impossible to separate what God has merged. Once you've been married, there is no way to go back to the person you were before marriage. There is no way to totally extract yourself from the marriage covenant, just as there is no way to separate a yolk and a white that have been whisked. Your spouse will always be a part of you in some way, because when God makes two people one, they are one!
The disciples certainly understood the gravity of what Jesus was saying, because their response was, "If this is the case, it is better not to marry!" (vs 10) The idea that marriage requires such a commitment was, apparently, a little overwhelming for them. They realized that God doesn't look on marriage with the same frivolity and instability that we do. God looks on marriage as a binding covenant—symbolic of the covenant He has made with each one of us.
And God takes His word seriously. He doesn't say, "I'll love you forever," and then file for divorce. Ever.
God is in the merger business. What He has designed in the marriage covenant (when done according to His plan) is the most beautiful, wonderful, and mysterious thing possible—taking two separate individuals with different backgrounds, different outlooks on life, different feelings, different everything . . . and then merging them, uniting them in one spirit through a commitment to love.
God is a master merger. What He joins together can be divided (as it unfortunately so often is nowadays), but it can never be separated.

Milligan: a Rich Heritage
Founded in 1866, Milligan College has a long, rich Christian liberal arts heritage, preparing young men and women for lives of dedicated Christian service. These students have come to Milligan to prepare not only for a variety of careers, but also to serve God in their workplaces, their churches, their communities, and their world. They serve as doctors, lawyers, teachers, ministers, journalists, occupational therapists, and business people, among many other chosen careers.
Over the last decade, enrollment has swelled by over 300 students, leaving us with minimal capacity for future growth, especially for residential students.
Residential Life: A Critical Component of the Milligan Experience
Increasingly, students come to college with higher expectations for their residence hall space. We frequently hear comments that our residence halls lack modern amenities. In fact, two of Milligan's largest halls lack air conditioning. Even the college's newest residence halls were constructed about 25 years ago. Despite the fact that the college's current residence halls are not as modern as some other colleges, Milligan has been able to enjoy nearly a half decade of record enrollment. But we have reached our capacity and, unfortunately, even housing that lacks the features most prospective students desire is now in short supply. For Milligan to continue to grow, new housing must be constructed.
Fortunately, several years ago, college leaders acquired acreage adjacent to the area where most of the college's residence halls now stand. A donor has come forward, generously agreeing to fund the nearly $5 million in site preparation costs to develop the land that will eventually house as many 230 students in new, suite style residence halls. The village will also consist of an intramural field and common spaces for fellowship and study, as well as other features that were developed with the valuable and important input of a group of faculty, staff, and students - and following a number of visits by members of the administration to see other college's housing projects.
Currently, Milligan is seeking the funding for a complex of up to six halls which will provide over 90 beds, adding to capacity, and giving the college flexibility to renovate existing halls. The cost per building, to house 20 students in this manner, is estimated to be in the range of $1,400,000.
Because the need is so great, and increased enrollment can support it, the college is willing to fund the construction with debt if necessary. Too much debt, however, can constrain the college's ability to take advantage of other opportunities in the future. For that reason, Milligan is seeking private donations toward the new residential village and other projects aimed at further enhancing the student experience. These gifts will be used toward the new residence village, scholarships, and other projects aimed at enhancing the student experience at Milligan.
Project Timeline
The college plans to officially break ground on the new village in the summer of 2012 with the first halls accepting students in the fall of 2013.

The Real John Bean
As for Steed, it turned out that, as he was making copies of the to-him-unknown caller's tapes during his tenure at Raven Records, he could easily have cased the caller's identity with just a few well-placed questions. He knew Betty, for instance, as well as "several other people that, had I known, I could have just asked."
Paul Roper, Dualtone Records' general manager, says that what's happened since the explosion of the tapes' popularity and their relative anonymity outside of Knoxville is that "people have taken advantage of the anonymity of the situation. There's a lot of confusion that goes on right now" about who is actually whom among the various Bean imitators.
"One day there might be some legal action," says Betty. "It's almost like [the imitators are] trying to deny John's existence. It would make an interesting copyright case." But she too acknowledges the situation for what it is: the often contradictory myths that were perpetuated throughout the nation and the world about the early-1980s prankster's true identity have enabled the imitators to flourish today. And while Betty doesn't sound in any way regretful about her brother's confused notoriety, she hopes along with Roper and the Dualtone crew that the new CD will finally put to rest any doubt among listeners about who he was.
The imitators, Betty suggests, are an unfortunate aberration of her brother's gift for harmlessly manipulating human nature to comic effect. "John was certainly vulgar from time to time," she says. "I suppose you could even say that sometimes he was mean. But he didn't go after [his subjects'] families and try to hurt people in fundamental ways."
The character that emerges from his calls is indeed as multidimensional as the many fictions told about him through the years — audacious, larger than life and ultimately hilarious. "He was just fun," Betty says. "I really do believe that something big would have happened for John had he lived. He was a good-looking guy. He had a really positive attitude. He was real smart. If half the time he had you wanting to kill him, life's just not quite as Technicolor as it was when he was here."
Eddie's Auto Parts
As John Bean's sister Betty tells it, Bean had "a sly kind of humor that would sneak up on you." When he was on one of his prank calls, he often had a stopwatch running just to see how long it'd take him to make whoever he was talking to cuss, without necessarily cussing much himself. Eddie Harvey, owner of Eddie's Auto Parts, the receiver of the first call on The Real LeRoy Mercer, was a favorite subject, Betty says. "He's sold a lot of T-shirts because of John's tapes. John did way more things to him than just that one tape. Eddie was one of those people John just loved to make cuss."
Harvey was the subject of a bit in episode seven of Johnny Knoxville's Jackass series, too, after Knoxville (P.J. Clapp) had featured Harvey in another story about the Bean tapes in the 1990s, says Betty.
As for Eddie, he's 88 years young still at his shop on Walker Road in Knoxville just off the I-640 loop north of town — don't look for any diesel oil filters there, though. "Eddie's Auto Parts," Harvey says, means what it says.

Should this poster from Media Markt, a European retailer be trusted? If you're a PS4 proponent than you might be saying yes, even though it's probably largely wishful thinking.
Up until right now – as in this very second – Sony has remained tight lipped (like Microsoft) about the release date for the PS4. Amazon's product page for the PS4 console lists it with a December 31st release date – we all know that's merely a placeholder, much like Xbox One Amazon page. That being said, this poster from the Media Markt indicates that the next-gen console from Sony will ship on November 13th.
According to Ubergizmo Sony has said that the poster is merely speculation on the behalf of Media Markt. However, I'd be surprised that a retailer would risk creating something that Sony is effectively calling "false". It would surely compromise their relationship and negate an excellent revenue opportunity since next-gen consoles will surely be at the top of many people's list this holiday season.
That all said, this poster is from a EU retailer. So if it is true, then this is the launch date for the PS3 in, well, Europe. Nevertheless, the US PS4 launch date is likely to happen days before, if not on the same day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Common sense, repackaged,
Tom Douglas "TD" (Marlow) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rework (Hardcover)
It would be easy to be dismissive of this book:
Its 270 pages are mostly white space and tangential illustrations;you get about 100 pages here. It doesn't go into any depth, simply skimming the surface of very many different notions. Nothing here is new, it is 80% common sense and you can read most of it for free on the Signal vs Noise blog.
And yet I highly recommend buying and reading it. It will only take you a few hours and will enrich your business life. Why? Because you are stupid.
Its okay though, I'm stupid too; we are all stupid. We constantly forget what we know; we backslide; we lose courage. We listen to overpaid overfed corporate execs and their ghost-writers and don't listen to what our sensible grandmothers tell us, and heck those grandmothers would never have let the economy go crunch.
So we need books that remind us what we already know to be true, and reiterate it a distinctive and friendly way so that remember it for a little while longer than normal.
This book does this so well that it sets the benchmark for slapping yourself in the face. Along the way it reminds you that you wasted several hundred dollars on wordy business books that told you what to do and how to do it, by authors who did a 180 a couple of years later.
Put simply this book reminds you to be free. Think freely, march to your own drummer, don't do stuff because it worked for someone else, and ignore any doomsayer who says 'that will never work'. Perceived wisdom is dangerous; real wisdom involves having an open mind with plenty of room for new thinking.
It is motivational more than informative, but that is what you need. Your business will be unique, every business is, so why copy someone else?
For the cost of lunch for two at Timmy's, this book will shake off all the nonsense you read in the newspapers and in business books, and set you free to build something really wonderful.
This book won't tell you anything new. This book is the best purchase you will make this year. Go figure.
Five stars.

2.0 out of 5 stars Rules of Thumb That are too generic to be useful,
This review is from: Rework (Hardcover)
This book claims to get to the root of building a business and offers up some a few dozen "quotes" that should help you get on your way. Their examples are poorly expanded and this book offers nothing of substance. It's like to college kids who built a business and think they can become self-help gurus with their standard "we're awesome and you are too" mantra. This book doesn't go into any detail on any single concept. This book is to business what diet fads are to the fitness industry. Poorly developed, lack of detail, too much to be useful and very generic. If you really want something useful, begin with Blue Ocean Strategies or Start With Why. I wish i could return this doorstop.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Real Help,
Clint Roscoe (Manitoba, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rework (Hardcover)
This book gave me some good advice that wasn't overly wordy. It got me into actually making things and making a profit. It gave me comfort knowing I don't have to be big overnight. I don't need to be a great artist right now. I just have to work with what I've got right now. I like how the authors say, "Everything is marketing."

5.0 out of 5 stars A masterful "gutting" of traditional notions of what it takes to run a business,
Robert Morris (Dallas, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rework (Hardcover)
If Joseph Schumpeter were to design a "creative destroyer," he would probably come up with a business thinker who bears a striking resemblance to Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson. To me, they seem to be iconoclasts who are impatient to build rather than anarchists whose objective is chaos. They quickly indicate a healthy respect for the nature and extent of difficulty when challenging the status quo. But they are not deterred by that difficult, as their success with 37signals clearly indicates, and they probably have more confidence in their readers' (as yet) unfulfilled potentialities than most of those readers do.
Consider this passage in Chapter FIRST: "There's a new reality. Today anyone can be in business. Tools that used to be out of reach are now easily accessible. Technology that cost thousands is now just a few bucks or free. One person can do the job of two or three or, in some cases, an entire department. Stuff that was impossible just a few years ago is simple today." That said, Fried and Hansson realize that many people who read that passage will heartily endorse its spirit but decline to embrace and leverage the opportunities that the new reality offers. For them, the "real world" is defined by what James O'Toole so aptly characterizes in his book, Leading Change, as "the ideology of comfort and the tyranny of custom."
This so-called "real world" has advocates who, Fried and Hansson observe, "are filled with pessimism and despair. They expect fresh concepts to fail. They assume society isn't ready for or capable of change. Even worse, they want to drag others down into their tomb. If you're hopeful and ambitious, they'll try to convince you your ideas are impossible. They'll say you're wasting your time. Don't believe them. That world may be real for them, but it doesn't mean you have to live in it." By now you have at least a sense of the thrust and flavor of Fried and Hansson's perspectives on how (literally) anyone can rework what she or he does...and rework how she or he does it...to achieve and then sustain success in all dimensions and domains of one's life. Indeed, one of the most important insights shared in the book is that the most valuable business lessons are also the most valuable life lessons. For example, here are ten of several dozen that Fried and Hansson discuss:
Learning from mistakes is overrated.
Planning is guessing.
Scratch your own itch.
Not enough of [fill in the blank] is a cop-out.
Embrace constraints.
Be a curator, not a custodian.
Reasons to quit.
Note: The material in this chapter is wholly consistent with the gambler's adage, "Know when to hold `em, know when to fold `em" as well as with Seth Godin's observations in The Dip: A Little Book That Teaches You When to Quit (and When to Stick).
Long lists don't get done.
Emulate great chefs.
ASAP is poison.
Granted, the tone of Fried and Hansson's narrative is sometimes confrontation, in-your-face, but I think that is necessary because their separate but related purposes are to challenge their reader to "rework" or, in some instances, "blow up" assumptions and premises about business success that are no longer true (or never were), and, to encourage their reader adopt a new mindset, then formulate and execute new strategies and tactics that will achieve sustainable business success.
If you need some fresh perspectives on how to get more done with less, including less stress, and with more joy, look no further. And if you share my high regard for this book, I highly recommend Godin's Linchpin, Guy Kawasaki's Reality Check, Scott McLeod's Ignore Everybody, and Hard Facts, Dangerous Half-Truths and Total Nonsense co-authored by Jeffrey Pfeffer and Robert Sutton.
3.0 out of 5 stars Now Come Back To Earch,
This review is from: Rework (Kindle Edition)
Lots of great ideas that have obviously worked for them. But its not a one size fits all. Didn't find too much stuff that was actually applicable day to day
5.0 out of 5 stars My Number One Recommendation,
This review is from: Rework (Hardcover)
Great Job!
I don't say I agree with all the comments in this book, but simply I admire the courage to publish ideas against the formal and traditional management rules.
Recommended to everyone interested in modern management ideas!
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent work!,
This review is from: Rework (Kindle Edition)
This book is sharp, and to the point. Practical and useful business advice that is relevant today more than ever. Haven't finished it yet, but already a huge fan of the work at about 50% through it.
4.0 out of 5 stars Ground breaking common sense,
This review is from: Rework (Hardcover)
The whole thing is so common-sensical that it's easy to overlook the fact that there's some great inspiration to be found in this book. At times it's feels like you're having a conversation with the authors, and like real conversations, you find yourself recounting what was "said" to you long after putting the book down. I enjoyed how the scenarios presented are so "every day" that they are easily applied to all manner of real world situations. I confidently recommend this whenever I get the chance.
One word of caution though... Fried and Hansson do a great job of demonstrating how fluid a working environment can be, and this is a good thing. However, I read this book while working at a large, slow-thinking, slower-moving organization and it was actually a bit disheartening to return to the real world after finishing the book. I wasn't even halfway through Rework and I felt like quitting my job out of sheer principal. If this happens to you, you might want to take a breath before making any big decisions.
4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting book,
This review is from: Rework (Hardcover)
An interesting read. For those who need a quick debrief or pulse check it provides and un biased opinion of what we are all thinking. In an insane business world, it's great to read and hear about a little sanity and simple suggestions!
5.0 out of 5 stars The only book you need to read,
This review is from: Rework (Hardcover)
As a manager, a student and a passionate on the subject, I will only tell you this much; buy this book now. This book reads all by itself. Once you start, you won't be able to finish it. I don't enjoy reading normaly, but the way this book is written is purely brilliant. Not one page is wasted, it's direct and simple but real stuff. Read this book if you wan't to be the best!

A character will meet another character who could almost be their own Suspiciously Similar Substitute. They have similar attitudes, mannerism and characteristics and sometimes they will actually be used as a substitute for the character. Often it's an ex who's dating someone incredibly similar to the original character, sometimes in a very similar manner it will be someone trying to get a new friend after they've lost an old one and the new friend is suspiciously similar to the old one. A common complication is the original not seeing this resemblance and growing to dislike the copy, especially for the characteristics that they most obviously share. Up for Grabs. Examples:

The Clique: Charmed and Dangerous
In this book, it tells about how the Pretty Committee first met – at the set of Merri-Lee Marvil's famous talk show. Massie Block (alpha) is stuck as a beta in the Ahnnabees. Dylan is sick of her weight-obsessed sisters. Alicia is determined to win BADS. Kristen wants to escape from "Planet Loser." Meanwhile Claire wins a contest – a kiss from ThRob, but her parents ruin the moment. I really enjoyed this book, but I want to know how Massie got Bean.

NCAA Volleyball game 2
Posted by Joe Chuba
Game 2 summary
Penn State got their act together and all but dominated game 2, winning 25-18.
Megan Hodge showed flashes of the intense player Penn State fans have seen in Rec Hall. What is interesting is that the fire isn't constantly burning in this national semi-final with the season on the line.
The Penn State block was much more of a factor in game 2. The Nittany Lions stuffed or altered many more Hawaii attacks in this game. That will be the key to the match. Hawaii got clear killing chances in game one, and barely edged the Lions.
Still a worry: the back line play for Penn State. The balls getting beyond the block are finding the floor too often, and if Penn State doesn't start getting the digs they will be in trouble.

Is a heavy layer of DEET or other stuff going to be needed?
Here it is, straight from the City of Sedalia Website...
2:30 p.m. CDT - July 12, 2012
Mosquito Spraying
(SEDALIA, MISSOURI): The Sedalia Public Works Department will be spraying for mosquitoes on the following days from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m., weather permitting:
Thursday, July 19th From the west city limits to the east city limits,
From Broadway Avenue south to the south city limits
Friday July 20th From the west city limits to the east city limits,
From Broadway Avenue north to the north city limits
Thanks for the info on spraying. That should greatly reduce the potential for irritating bugs! :groovy
Common Missouri pests
ticks, several kinds, check daily. For me only powdered sulfur works. Should not be a problem on the fairgrounds.
Chiggers. I advise all of you to avoid sitting on the grass, the critter can not complete it's life cycle in humans, does make an itchy site. Sulfur repels them, if you get a bite they sell itch pens containing ammonia, hurts when you put it on, BUT the itching stops right away.
Mosquitoes, the drought really cuts the numbers, DEET is your friend.
Oak Midge, a no seeum that is around oak trees. Have not been real bad lately, but the itch pen is a good treatment. The can go right thru the mesh of a tent, so I never pitch a tent under a oak tree anymore. Most do not bite, one does. They like cooler weather, so should be be a significant issue. But if something is getting in your tent and you are under oaks, MOVE
Horse fly's, hopefully we are far enough from the cattle these are not an issue. Deet only repels a few, sulfur and premithin only repel a few, they are immue to most stuff now.
If you walk in the woods, there will be stinging nettle. Best advice is no bare skin. Annoying but harmless.
Posion Ivy, leaflets 3, let it be.
The only thing that I would have a small concern about on the fairgrounds would be chiggers. Camped there during the State Fair before and had no problems with insects except maybe for flies migrating from the stock barns.
Take a couple of garlic tablets a day. Takes a few days to get "loaded" up properly.
Keeps mosquitos away and other flying, biting nasties.
Keeps vampires at bay too. Win-win. :laugh
Let's not forget Zombies!
[QUOTE=ragtoplvr;798996]Let's not forget Zombies![/QUOTE]
Rats! I forgot about them..... :banghead
snakes, don't forget snakes, they hide everywhere.:mad
OK, a basic noob (dumb?) question....
It's going to be hot (really???), and I plan to wear Keen-type sandals. Should I be ok with Deepwoods Off!, or should I axe the sandals and wear socks and shoes instead?
Chiggers aren't really a problem in WNY, which is what prompts my questions.
And yes I will be camping...and enjoying the 70's overnight. :snore
Chiggers. Gawd how I hate those things! We used to get them bad at Camp Lejeune, NC.
I might just bring a quart of ammonia. To heck with the little ampules!

I was teaching in India a few years ago and one of my students was commenting on how nice it must be to live in America. She and her husband had a challenging life and made little more than $50 a week at their jobs. "Everything seems so perfect there," she said.
In some ways she was right. The United States is a wonderful place to live and, more than anywhere else in the world, it is truly a land of great opportunity. But everything is far from perfect. Read More»

The news from Iraq that Islamic terrorists have now taken over cities that American troops liberated during the Iraq war must have left an especially bitter after-taste to Americans who lost a loved one who died taking one of those cities, or to a survivor who came back without an arm or leg, or with other traumas to body or mind.

HELEN – Last week was the last week for fishing the Chattahoochee in these parts. If you just have to try your luck, you can fish year round in this refreshing hamlet of the state, but trout look for cool waters, and the water temperatures are not very accommodating to the beautiful and bountiful rainbow during the summer months.
It all changes soon after Labor Day as the temperatures begin to trend downward on the thermometer. We're talking October, my favorite month. Football, fishing, harvest scenes, and a fire in the fireplace! They all come to the forefront in October. Read More»

Ready to rock naked skin?
Homemade Green Tea Face Mask for ACNE
2 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
2 Green Tea Bags
3 Tablespoons Oats
1 Aspirin Capsul
Mix all ingredients together and apply to affected areas. The apple cider vinegar helps absorb oil, the green tea will help rev your skin to heal, the oats soothe, & the aspirin is an old acne trick. I use it as a spot treatment.
Homemade Green Tea Face Mask for SUNBURNS
1 Green Tea Bag
1/2 a Banana, more if you were sunburned other than your face
2 Tablespoons Oats
The green tea will rev up healing, banana moisturizes, and the oats soothe damaged skin. Not a banana person? You can also swap out banana for avocado for a luxe feel. Should be like a soft paste and can be used on face, neck, body, but not tested on burns originating from anything other than sunlight.
As always, do a test patch to help avoid allergic reactions!
I hope you guys like these masks as much as my DIY Pumpkin Foot Scrub you all fell in love with!

One of the smaller truck ranges from Renault, the Mascott was discontinued in 2010. One of their more laudable efforts to create a smaller van, it was marketed as a heavy duty version of the Master, somewhere in between the original and the larger Midlum. It was popular all over Europe for a time, proving attractive to many smaller firms doing minor maintenance and removal jobs.
In its 11-year history, the Mascott had managed to fill a void in the truck market for something larger than a standard van but smaller than a mid-range truck. However, its demise came after Renault decided to revamp the entire Master range. Nevertheless, some Mascotts are still available, including those used as box vans and tippers.

First made in 1999, the Mascott was pushed as being a step up from a bog-standard Master. The 2.0-litre and 3.0-litre engines available with some of the earlier models were meant to be sufficient enough to cope with larger payloads than the standard Master, helped by higher power ratings of 120 bhp and 160 bhp.
All gearboxes coming with the Mascott were manual with either five or six speeds to choose from. In terms of weight, most of them were in the region of six tonnes, meaning that they were limited in what they could do. Smaller logistical and maintenance jobs such as tipping were ideal for the Mascott.
The 3.0-litre diesel engine was the biggest possible available for the Mascott, meaning that drivers were limited in what models they had to choose from. Fortunately, a gap which was seldom catered for was filled by this truck, even though its limitations meant that it was phased out after just 11 years.
Today, the Master range of trucks now includes a successor to the Mascott, which does more or less the same thing in working as a heavy duty van.
The Mascott is a steady sort of truck, useful for smaller jobs but not much more than a bog-standard version of the Renault Master.

Billionaire Michael Price's Long Term Stock Picks
By Meena Krishnamsetty - July 21, 2013 | Tickers: BDX, C, GLF, MHFI, RUTH
One of the most common objections to incorporating 13F filings into an investment process is that the information in these filings is a bit out of date; the most recent round of filings discloses many of a hedge fund's or other major investor's long equity positions as of the end of March. However, at Insider Monkey we've actually found that the most popular small cap stocks among more »
Are Restaurant Chains Serving Up an Earnings Feast?
By Brian Hill - July 5, 2013 | Tickers: DRI, DIN, RUTH
Americans love to eat out, which makes restaurant companies' financial results a useful barometer of the state of the general economy. The National Restaurant Association reported that the average household spent $2,620 on food outside the home in 2011. But when consumers' budgets are tight, they don't dine out as often. By taking a look at how restaurant chains are doing, we can get some clues about how more »

As Father's Day came and went away, we were reminded of the great American steakhouse. It seems there's no better place these days to celebrate an event than with a great steak. America's love affair with red meat continues and this has benefited meat purveyors. As the global economic recovery continues, more people are opting to eat out and that is also benefiting the overall restaurant group more »

These 2 Restaurants Can Offer Beefy Returns
By Leo Sun - May 7, 2013 | Tickers: DRI, RUTH, TXRH
For many investors, restaurants are a tricky industry to navigate. Conservative fast food giants such as McDonald's and Yum! Brands can be too heavily exposed to weak international markets, while full-service diner companies such as Darden Restaurants (NYSE: DRI) and Brinker International can own strong brands (LongHorn Steakhouse, Maggiano's), whose gains are offset by weaker ones (Red Lobster, Chili's).

Risky Business: Del Frisco's

I know that you're probably tired of hearing about Hurricane Sandy effecting the economy. But this must be mentioned yet again in Del Frisco's case. In Del Frisco's prospectus, they had an interesting statement in the risk section:
"Our New York Del Frisco's location represented approximately 19%, 20% and 18% of our revenues in 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively...any natural disaster...in or around New York City could...lead to a decrease in revenues."

Calming Liturgical Heartburn
If you get heartburn over the mention of the word "liturgy," you may find some proverbial antacid in the thoughtful conversation between our hosts on this episode of The Mortification of Spin. In fact, Carl and Todd remind us that our churches are all liturgical in one way or another - the question is whether we are basing the order and structure of our worship on Scripture or whether we're simply, shall we say, flying by the seat of our pants. Can the seat of our pants sufficiently guide us in corporate worship that is Christ-centered? If you've never opened The Book of Common Prayer, buckle up and listen in...you're bound to learn quite a bit from this helpful podcast.

footprint-magazine.co.uk winter 2010 Business Footprint 9products and servicesWorkplace service provider the PHS Group plc, has launched a new and exciting scheme, designed to win over the 'hearts and minds' of office staff in favour of active waste paper recycling.PHS Paper Track is a highly visible office paper recycling service with the unique benefit of converting that paper into high quality toilet tissue, which is then returned to customer. Think of it. old letterhead and invoices reborn as a company's 'own brand' toilet tissue! As such, it presents facilities managers with the first 'closed-loop' office paper recycling service of its kind.A big benefit for the bottom line is that, used within a company's 'reduce, re-use, recycle' strategy, Paper Track stands to excite, enthuse and engage office staff in cost-effective waste paper recycling, as they see a useful product created by it and returning for use in their company washrooms. Paper Track also provides a visible example of a company's commitment to sustainability, and adherence to international environmental management standards, such as ISO 14001.How does Paper Track work?Very simply, the Paper Track service involves PHS collecting an office's paper waste, shredding it and recycling it at its specialist plant into toilet tissue, which is then returned back to the same organisation for re-use in its washrooms. As such, it presents the first 100% 'closed-loop' office paper recycling service of its kind.To really enthuse staff, Paper Track's paper collection bins and toilet tissue dispensers display recycling messages and clear instruction on how the system works, providing strong internal communication of the organisation's environmental focus, and encouragement to use the Paper Track system.To get staff actively involved, PHS believe that the service should be simple and easy to use; therefore only basic segregation of paper is needed in the office. That's because PHS' paper mill and conversion plant is equipped to handle all the 'extras' with which waste paper is so often discarded - dyes and inks, staples, plastic covers, sellotape, book bindings, labels, brown envelopes, other non-bleachables and even grit - and still produce high quality recycled tissue. The scheme has a low carbon footprint, being serviced by PHS' nationwide branch network and a UK-based paper mill and conversion operation. This means none of the recycled paper has to travel far for processing. In addition, no harmful chemicals are used in the conversion process, and any waste produced is used as fertiliser on local farms. Paper Track recycling certificates are also provided, to help demonstrate the environmental benefit to staff and management, and to show compliance with the Data Protection Act. James Clark, Managing Director of PHS Direct, which supplies Paper Track, comments on the new initiative: PHS' new Paper Track service collects office paper waste, shreds it, then recycles it into high quality toilet tissue, which is returned to the customer. With its visible product, Paper Track enthuses staff into good recycling practice and demonstrates organisational commitment to environmental protection, with associated benefits for the bottom line.Keeping waste paper visible"Operating, as we do ourselves, to the 14001 international environmental management standard, PHS is constantly looking for new ways to help customers reduce their own environmental impact. As such, the Group has launched a variety of products and services to encourage resource reduction and recycling. PHS Paper Track is the latest of these, and we're very excited at its potential. Our customers have been extremely responsive, knowing that they are buying into a unique recycling scheme which pays more than lip-service to the environmental banner.Closed-loop recycling of this kind ensures that waste is viewed as a resource, really engaging staff in the process because they can see a tangible end-product, and helping businesses to benefit financially from a company-wide increase in cost-effective waste management practice.Paper Track is ideal for those organisations with a strong environmental ethos, who are on the look-out for new ways to demonstrate and enhance their recycling credentials."
10 Business Footprint winter 2010 footprint-magazine.co.uk NEws focusThe Loneliness of the Long Distance PastyBy David WalterOne of the great mantras of the environmental movement is that it is better to buy local produce. It is something of a disappointment, therefore, to read a spate of recent stories about so-called local produce which turns out to have clocked up large numbers of food miles.First there was the tale of the Ginsters pasties. In order for them to be delivered from the factory in Callington in Cornwall to the Co-op a mile away, they are transported to a depot in Portbury near Bristol and then driven back, a round trip of 250 miles.Many other such examples have emerged. A tub of Rodda's Cornish clotted cream will do a 340 mile journey to Avonmouth and back to be sold in Tesco's at Redruth, two miles from the factory.Organic yoghourts made at Rachel's dairy in Aberystwyth go to a depot in Oswestry in Shropshire before being returned to Aberystwyth shops, clocking up 130 miles.

Bilawal may contest from Bhutto family stronghold in Sindh
Karachi: Pakistan Peoples Party's (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari may contest from a national assembly seat which has traditionally been the stronghold of the Bhutto family in hometown Larkana in Sindh province. Former president Asif Ali Zardari yesterday addressed a public rally in Naudero as part of Eid celebrations in which the highlight was Bilawal mixing freely with the people. Zardari also presided over a high-level meeting of his party members on Saturday. "Discussions have been held on letting Bilawal who has turned 25 contest the by-elections from NA-204 to get him elected as a member of the national assembly and allow him to make his first entry into politics," a senior PPP leader told PTI.
He said an announcement would only be made after a meeting of the PPP executive committee which had to give approval for the decision. "But in the meeting held in Naudero which was also participated by Zardari's sister and other senior members including chief minister, Syed Qaim Ali Shah, the feeling was (that) the time was right for Bilawal to make his entry into active politics," he said. He said in order to get Bilawal to contest for a seat in the national assembly, the party would have to give former Sindh law minister Ayaz Soomro, who had been elected from NA-204 constituency in the previous election, some responsibility in the Sindh Government. Addressing the party workers, Zardari said, "If Nawaz Sharif took positive steps, Pakistan People's Party will extend complete backing to them in the Senate." However, he added that some other course of action will be looked at in case the incumbent government failed to address the challenges.
