"the warm-up pants i purchased, were high quality, great price, great fit and were received quickly. what more could i ask for. great job." (E3247)
"Love how well the pants blended with the rest of the team. fast shipment and awesome quality. Great Job!!!" (E13254)
"The backpacks are the perfect size, great quality, and look sharp. We ordered black with white embroidery. Each bag is embroidered with its owner's last name to avoid mix-ups. You are able to fit a ball, cleats, shin guards, extra jersey, extra clothes, and hook on a water bottle for easy access with the straps above the ball pouch. The original delivery date, when I placed the order, was 4/15 but they arrived, in perfect condition, on 4/9 which was in time for our first game. I typically do not buy things on-line and was nervous about the quality . . . there was a giant sigh of relief when I opened the box and saw that I had nothing to worry about. The team has received many compliments on the backpacks and I have provided a few coaches with the website information so they can order backpacks for their team." (E833)

Caleb Moore wins NCAA batting average and doubles crowns
Thursday, July 01, 2004JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (July 1, 2004) -- East Tennessee State junior catcher Caleb Moore (Knoxville, Tenn.) led all Division I players in batting average and doubles in 2004 as the NCAA released final statistics on Thursday. Moore hit .455 this past season while slugging 31 doubles (.60 per game). Brian Bixler of Eastern Michigan finished second with a .453 batting average while Stephen Carter of Eastern Kentucky was third at .448. East Carolina's Ryan Norwood averaged .53 doubles per game while Utah's Matt Ciaramella finished third with .48 doubles per contest. Moore put together one of the best seasons in ETSU history in 2004, shattering the school batting average record, previously held by outfielder Steve Meredith who batted .419 in 1988. He also broke the ETSU and Southern Conference doubles records. In addition, Caleb led the Bucs this season with 59 runs scored, a .752 slugging percentage and a .529 on-base percentage. Moore was also second on the Bucs with nine home runs and third on the squad with 45 RBIs. He ended the season on a 21-game hitting streak. Caleb also served as the Buccaneer closer this season, posting a 2-0 record with six saves and a 3.60 ERA. Moore was dominant in his final 11 appearances of the season, yielding just a 1.35 ERA. Following the season, Moore was named Southern Conference Player of the Year by the league's coaches and media. Caleb was also recently named as a Louisville Slugger All-American by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. Moore and South Carolina's Landon Powell were second-team selections while Cal State-Fullerton's Kurt Suzuki was the first-team catcher.

The picturesque Pitlochry-based distillery lies close to Edradour and is unconnected with the simarly spelt town, Blair Atholl. The water tumbles down the 841m peak, Ben Vrackie and into the 2.5million litres the distillery produces annually. The distillery was founded under the name Aldour in 1778, by Robert Robertson. In 1825, he expanded and renamed the facilities Blair Athol. The distillery has had a long association with Bell's Blended Scotch - their roots were entwined as far back as the mid nineteenth century. Blair Athol changed hands several times during the 1800s and eventually closed in 1932. A year later the distillery was acquired by Arthur Bell and Sons and today as much as 95% of the outturn is bourbon-matured and used in Bell's blended products. The whisky boasts a swift maturation and the remaining five or so percent of spirit is aged in sherry casks and sold as single malt, mostly by independent bottlers. Following the Guinness Group's acquisition of Arthur Bell and Sons and the subsequent affiliation with United Distillers, Diageo are now the current owners of Blair Athol. Thus, the malt is now lorried in from Diageo's central Roseisle maltings. In 1987, a visitor centre was installed and now the well-groomed distillery enjoys in excess of 30,000 visitors annually.

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Rookie Ryan Tannehill had two touchdown passes, and the Miami Dolphins withstood a late St. Louis rally to emerge with a 17-14 win over the Rams on Sunday.
The visiting Rams trimmed Miami's lead to three when quarterback Sam Bradford stretched the ball across the goal line and completed a pass to Steven Jackson for the 2-point conversion with 8:30 remaining in the fourth quarter.
With the help of a fake punt, the Dolphins chewed up a significant portion of the clock. St. Louis got the ball back at its own 3-yard line with 1:41 to play and a nifty one-handed grab by Brandon Gibson set the Rams up near midfield.
On 3rd-and-4 from the Miami 45, Olivier Vernon sacked Bradford for a 3-yard loss, and the Dolphins (3-3) prevailed when Greg Zuerlein missed a 66-yard field goal.
Tannehill completed 21-of-29 throws for 185 yards in Miami's second straight win.
"It was a grind-it-out game," Miami coach Joe Philbin said. "I got to hand it to our guys for hanging in there and making plays when we had to."
Bradford had 315 yards on 26-of-39 passing for St. Louis (3-3), which outgained Miami 462-192 but squandered opportunities for points and struggled to reach the end zone.
The Rams' first two drives featured big plays that led to Zuerlein field goals.
Daryl Richardson scampered 44 yards on the second play of the game to set up the first, and Bradford found Chris Givens for a 65-yard completion to put Zuerlein in position for the second.
However in the second quarter, after connecting from 48 and 32 yards, Zuerlein missed a 52-yard try. The rookie out of Missouri Western State had converted each of his first 15 career attempts.
The ensuing drive didn't start well for the Dolphins, with Tannehill being sacked for a 7-yard loss. But Davone Bess moved the chains with a 6-yard reception on 3rd-and-4 and an uncovered Marlon Moore hauled in a 29-yard touchdown.
Prior to the scoring drive, Miami had only registered one first down.
St. Louis then lost a fumble on the ensuing kickoff. Its defense, however, held the Dolphins to a 42-yard Dan Carpenter field goal with 4:19 remaining in the first half.
The Rams looked to counter before halftime, marching to the red zone. Zuerlein, though, began a new streak with his second consecutive miss, this time from 37 yards.
"Any time you are able to move the ball like we did and accumulate that many yards and only score six points, it's probably one of the most frustrating things there is," Bradford said.
Following the break, Miami's offense was on the move and a defensive pass interference penalty placed the ball at the St. Louis 19. The Dolphins' first possession of the second half ended with Anthony Fasano catching a 1-yard touchdown.
Former Dolphins Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas were inducted into the club's
Ring of Honor during a halftime ceremony ... The Rams were aiming for their
first three-game winning streak since the last three games of the 2006 season
... St. Louis suffered its sixth straight road loss ... The Rams limited Miami
running back Reggie Bush to 17 yards on 12 carries.

A vaginal yeast infection is a type of vaginitis — inflammation of the vagina — characterized by vaginal irritation, intense itchiness and vaginal discharge. A vaginal yeast infection affects your vagina and the tissues at the opening to your vagina (vulva).
Vaginal yeast infection — also called vaginal candidiasis — is very common. As many as 3 out of 4 women experience a yeast infection at some point in their lifetimes. Many women experience two or more yeast infections.
A vaginal yeast infection isn't considered a sexually transmitted infection, although the fungus that causes the condition can be spread through oral-genital contact. Simple treatment is usually effective, unless you have recurrent yeast infections — four or more in a single year. In that case, you may need a longer course of therapy and a maintenance plan.
Yeast infection symptoms can range from mild to moderate and include:
You might have a complicated yeast infection if:
Make an appointment with your doctor if:
A vaginal yeast infection is caused by the fungus candida. Candida is a microorganism that's normally present in your vagina, along with bacteria. Your vagina naturally contains a balanced mix of yeast and bacteria. Lactobacillus bacteria produce acid, which discourages overgrowth of yeast in the vagina. But disruption of the healthy balance can result in an overgrowth of yeast. Too much yeast in your vagina can lead to vaginal itching, burning, and other classic signs and symptoms of a yeast infection.
Overgrowth of yeast can result from:
Most often, yeast infection results from a type of candida fungus known as Candida albicans. Sometimes, however, a different type of candida fungus might be the cause of symptoms. Candida albicans responds well to typical treatments for yeast infections. Other types of candida, however, sometimes respond poorly to conventional therapies and may require more aggressive treatment.
A yeast infection can be sexually transmitted, especially through oral-genital sexual contact. However, yeast infection isn't considered a sexually transmitted infection because it happens in women who aren't sexually active and the candida fungus is naturally present in the vagina.
Factors that increase your risk of developing a yeast infection include:
If you've been treated for a yeast infection in the past, your doctor may not need to see you and may prescribe a treatment over the phone. Otherwise, you'll likely see your family doctor or gynecologist to treat your condition.
So that your doctor can observe and evaluate your vaginal discharge, avoid using tampons and don't douche before your appointment.
Here's some information to help you prepare for your appointment and know what to expect from your doctor.
For yeast infection, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
During your appointment, don't hesitate to ask other questions as they occur to you.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions, such as:
To diagnose a yeast infection, your doctor may:
Yeast infection treatment depends on whether you have an uncomplicated or a complicated infection.
For mild to moderate symptoms and infrequent episodes of yeast infection, your doctor might recommend:
Make a follow-up appointment with your doctor if you've finished your treatment and your symptoms haven't gone away or if your symptoms return within two months of being treated.
Treatment for a complicated yeast infection might include:
Usually, your sex partner doesn't also need to be treated for a yeast infection. If you have recurrent yeast infections, your doctor might recommend treating your partner if your partner has signs or symptoms of a genital yeast infection — for instance, jock itch in a male partner — or using condoms during intercourse.
Although some studies on alternative therapies for yeast infection have been done, well-designed and controlled trials are needed to investigate these therapies before experts can make any recommendations.
Examples include:
Before trying any alternative therapy, check with your doctor to weigh the pros and cons in your situation.
To reduce your risk of vaginal yeast infection:

Latest interview with Han Yan before the Olympics (in Chinese with English subtitles)
Latest interview with Han Yan before the Olympics (in Chinese with English subtitles)
Textbook triple Axel from Han in the SP. Time to replicate it in the LP, please
Congratulations to Han for finishing 7th at Sochi, the best any Chinese male skater has ever achieved at winter Olympics.
As you said on your weibo, it is with mixed feelings that you finish your first OG journey, an ending that I am sure will be the beginning of a great journey for you. You know that you are capable of accomplishing more.
Congrats to Han Yan for finishing 7th. Indeed, for a rookie, he's doing well. Keep it up. Hoping to see continued growth. I am sure we will see Han Yan in S Korea in 2018.
Yes, very proud of Han! 7th at your second senior year and your 1st Olympics. His LP also is the 4th highest marks of the evening. Could someone describe to me how was the rest of his program? Haven't had a chance to watch his LP. Lori Nicholc choreographed both his SP and LP, that is an excellent start to his Senior career. Lori Nichol also choreographed Peng/Zhangs superb programs this year, so suitable to them - just absolutely stunning. I am a a big fan of Han Yan, saw his hugh potential back at Junior Worlds. For men, they do need to have hugh jumping capability, the artistic side can always be worked on. For Han, at such a young age, he has both quads and triple axels pretty secured. Very proud of him!!! Well done. Also loved his relationship with his coach. She seems to have such control over the situation, confident and commanding, yet tender and protective towards Han. She has the calmness and confidence to take him all the way.
Hi Hi!
Since Han performed in ATS, here are the fan-vids from May 5th!
The performance between him and zijun li is very sweet
Just because I think it's so cute:
Han Yan kinda googled himself.
In search bar: Han Yan
First result: Han Yans Weibo (Similar to Twitter)

@花样滑冰闫涵:笑死我了。。。閒得無聊看看自己貼吧各種亮點結果發現我竟然有女朋友~ 為什麼我不知道!!哈哈哈
Yan Han: Im dying from laughter I was bored enough to search up myself on Baidu (Chinese search engine) and discovered that I have a girlfriend~ How did I not know! Hahaha
Han Yan, you have learnt your lesson!!! Don't try ever again or your might accidentally find a naked fan-art of you.
For Yan Han fans, I really like this new SP !!

Interpretive Handbook
8964 :
Isoagglutinin Titer, Anti-A, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Isoagglutinins are antibodies produced by an individual that cause agglutination of RBCs in other individuals. People possess isoagglutinins directed toward the A or B antigen absent from their own RBCs. For example, type B or O individuals will usually possess anti-A. The anti-A is formed in response to exposure to A-like antigenic structures found in ubiquitous non-red cell biologic entities (eg, bacteria).
Isoagglutinins present in the newborn are passively acquired from maternal circulation. Such passively acquired isoagglutinins will gradually disappear, and the infant will begin to produce isoagglutinins at 3 to 6 months of age.
Isoagglutinin production may vary in patients with certain pathologic conditions. Decreased levels of isoagglutinins may be seen in patients with acquired and congenital hypogammaglobulinemia and agammaglobulinemia. Some individuals with roundworm infections will have elevated levels of anti-A.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Evaluation of individuals with possible hypogammaglobulinemia
Investigation of suspected roundworm infections
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
The result is reported as antiglobulin phase, in general representing IgG antibody. The result is the reciprocal of the highest dilution up to 1:2048 at which macroscopic agglutination (1+) is observed. Dilutions >1:2048 are reported as >2048.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Decreased isoagglutinin titers may be seen in normal elderly individuals and in children < or =12 months.
This test is not useful for individuals with blood type A or AB.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Interpretation depends on clinical setting.
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

EPA Tier 4 Final Changes Provide an Opportunity for Welders to Examine Equipment Outlay, ProcessesThursday, March 22nd, 2012
Tier 4 Final, or T4F, emissions regulations go into effect on Jan. 1, 2013 for machines used in the United States and Canada with diesel engines in the 25 to 75 horsepower range, including engine-driven welder/generators. While that's still months away, there is much for you to know about the changes that diesel engine-driven welder/generators will undergo and what manufacturers are doing to prepare for these regulations and anticipated price increases. In the article linked below we look at how this equipment is being redesigned, buying considerations based on output demands (can you get by with an engine-driven welder/generator lower than 25 horsepower?), and possible ways to improve your processes to offset price increases on new T4F equipment.
Read the whole story by clicking here!
Miller diesel engine-driven welder/generators. Machines with more than 25 HP will fall under new T4F regulations

I have never used this software and I only see one mention of it here on DC in the old Note-Taking review back in 2006! But I was looking around at PIMs and outliners, mainly because Kinook recently released a new version with nothing to speak of in it and is charging $50.00 for an upgrade.
So as I said I was looking around at other such programs and saw that InfoRecall - which once sold for $99.99 and more recently cost $59.99 is now only $5.99. Definitely sounds like it is heading for the "abandonware" heap to me, but who knows? Maybe the developer is trying to lure folks away from Ultra Recall and similar apps? I'm tempted to just go ahead and purchase it anyway, even though I am already overloaded with similar programs.
Anyone ever use this program?
Thank you.

It's just not fair. Like a friend who's talented and good-looking and charming, Paris has it all: not only heavyweight artistic credentials, world-beating restaurants and luxury brands, and a supreme heritage of beautiful streets, houses, monuments and parks, but also the full whack of contemporary life, from street style (whom else do fashion editors emulate but Paris girls?) to dance music.
Paris' tremendous past lives – glorious, bloody, influential – are written all over its face. Yet day-to-day in the modern city doesn't necessarily correspond to all the old clichés, and you'll have more fun, arguably, if you abandon them. That's not to say you shouldn't read Balzac, Baudelaire, Walter Benjamin and Hemingway on the train, nor that the odd night listening to Edith Piaf isn't good for the soul. Anyway, living-museum status is a no-no, thanks to the city's bold architectural, artistic and gastronomic innovators (and premiers with an eye on immortality).
Is the City of Lights is supremely romantic? That depends on who you're with and where you stay. In other words, a capital that's a byword for diminutive hotel bedrooms cannot be the definitive city for lovers. Having said that, hedonism is alive and well and wearing six-inch spike heels – even swingers' clubs are hip here, rather than shamefully hidden in the banlieue. If food is your big thing, you're laughing: not only does Paris come top for refined classical cuisine and extravagance on a plate, but there's also a new guard of bistronomique chefs, who think smaller, more seasonal and more relaxed, but still provide serious gastronomic bang for your euro. And culturally, the city never disappoints: Chirac and Mitterand's big projects are as impressive as intended; arts funding is healthy; and multicultural creativity bubbles up both where you'd expect it and where you might not.
These densely populated streets are where Charles Baudelaire formulated flânerie – the knack of experiencing a city by immersing yourself unrestrainedly. The first-time visitor might have to be patient, though, since you've got to start at the beginning. That means the Louvre, the Rue du Faubourg St Honoré, Hôtel Costes, the Eiffel Tower (perhaps the best of the world's ridiculously obvious tourist attractions), the Pompidou Centre, Brasserie Lipp, even Sacré Coeur and its hordes. Once you've 'done' these, once you've bar-hopped around St Germain, picnicked in the Tuileries Gardens and trotted up and down the Champs-Elysées, then you can start to find your own favourite bits. You might start around the Canal St Martin, on Rue Montorgueil with its wonderful food shops, up and down gritty Rue du Faubourg St Denis, the revived Montmartre around Place des Abbesses, and points north and east, such as Châteaurouge and Belleville.
To orient yourself, get a nifty arrondissement map, like a London A-Z, only cuter. Paris is divided into 20 administrative zones, from 1 to 20, which spiral out from the 1er (Palais Royal, Louvre, Place Vendôme) to the 20th, out east. They correspond/overlap with the districts known by name as the Marais (3ème, 4ème), Montmartre (9ème, 18ème), St Germain (5ème, 6ème) and so on. Quick history lesson: the Roman settlement on the River Seine was called Lutetia. The Pont Neuf is the oldest bridge in Paris. Molière was the French Shakespeare, and his theatre, the Comédie Française, is still going strong. The French Revolution of 1789 was the biggest and bloodiest and transformed Paris, but there were three more in 1830, 1848 and 1871 (and, just maybe, in 1968). Paris owes its looks to Napoleon III and to Baron Haussman, who designed the broad avenues and the six-storey townhouses. The Belle Epoque was only beautiful for the upper classes. Quick croissant lesson: you can't go wrong with pastries from Au Levain du Marais, Pierre Hermé, Arnaud Delmontel or Stohrer.
As well as immersing yourself unrestrainedly in food and fashion, electro parties and elegant hotels, watch and learn from Parisians, who give the distinct impression that they work to live, that they enjoy eating, drinking and socialising gracefully (just ignore the Rue de Lappe on a Saturday night), and that smoking cigarettes is still cool and sexy. Dear, sexy, glamorous, slightly vain Paris, we know you were the birthplace of the 20th century, and we're so glad you're still incredibly good fun as you charge headlong into the 21st.

I have it in my head that I am going to build a stand for my 22" LCD monitor that will let me turn it from facing the desk to 90 to 180 and face away from the desk. Not that I like looking at the back of it, but to show someone what I am talking about, I can just flip it around.
I also want to make a pivot in the plan so I can view in portrait as well as landscape.
I don't have plans as of yet, but I have a good idea in my head.
The part I need help with is, I am not sure what I want to use for the pivot points to create a friction type joint. I am trying to avoid using set screws or thumb screws. I will buy the ball mount for the back of the monitor so I can tilt and pan the monitor.
I know that I could buy one, probably 50 to 100 bucks. But then I cant say I built it the way I wanted it. Even if I spend twice that, I can say hey thats one of a kind.
Here is a screen shot of kinda sorta where I am going with this. I welcome any and all ideas gentlemen.

Plump DJs (Lee Rous and Andy Gardner) are a DJ and producer team in electronic dance music. Early pioneers of the breakbeat genre in electronic music, the Plump DJs have diversified in recent years to incorporate new styles such as electro, house and bass music. Their sound is still widely thought to maintain a breakbeat aesthetic, but their productions and DJ sets have become stylistically broader. Throughout the 2000s, they released a string of singles and remixes of well-known dance music names such as Fatboy Slim, Orbital, Deadmau5 and the Stanton Warriors. Lee Rous and Andy Gardner met at proto-breakbeat label Freskanova in west London in the late 1990s. Gardner was making music with Matt Cantor from The Freestylers, and Rous was DJing at and promoting the Passenger nights in Kings Cross. Their first release together, "Plump Chunks/Electric Disco", came out on Finger Lickin' Records in 1999. When they released the "A Plump Night Out" album â[][] basically a live DJ mix featuring their own original music â[][] they really began to achieve international notoriety.

Today's learners simply must create. Whether the product is more traditional, such as an essay, a diorama, or a skit, or something created using one of a plethora of free web tools, they must create.
Creating a product as an assignment isn't new, but as we move toward more rigor in education and strive to help students develop those higher-level thinking skills, CREATING is becoming a more essential part of learning. Why? Because creating is both the ends and the means of that higher-level thinking. In order to create high quality, useful products that serve an authentic purpose, students must think at high levels. Meanwhile, during the process of creating, teachers can assess and support higher-level thinking in the content area. In the end, the product serves as an integral part of the learning, as evidence that learning took place, and as an authentic assessment of that learning.
Tools like Dipity, Prezi, and Powtoon are great alternatives to traditional project based learning assignments. Dipity is an easy to use timeline tool that allows learners to upload one of their own images, embed an online image or embed a video for each entry on the timeline. A title and a date are required and there is room for a small paragraph and a link to more information. Dipity has numerous educational uses. For example, it could be used to document a project in development, as a biographical piece, or as a study a particular theme or concept over time in social studies or another content areas. In the dipity below, I documented the migration and reproduction cycle that monarch butterflies go through every year.
Prezi has been around awhile but the interface is much improved. They also have so many well designed themes to choose from now that it is hard not to go that route, but students can still upload background images and create the presentation from scratch as well. Prezi will let learners embed their own images and youtube videos and include links to other resources. Voiceovers are an option in a Prezi as is autoplay.
What makes Prezi different, and better, than a simple slideshow is that the information and resources are structured in a way that helps the viewer better understand the relationships of the parts to the whole. Creating a particularly good Prezi requires serious planning and a firm understanding of the message. Of course, learners can also use one of the themes that already fits the concept they are exploring and adapt it to their own needs. This prezi is a very simple one that I used to make sure the teachers in one of my workshops understood the goal of their project and the steps needed to reach it. For a more complex Prezi, check out this one from the Prezi gallery.
Powtoon is a quick and easy animation tool with many potential educational uses. The free version has three different large collections of objects and people that can be included in the animation as well as conversation bubbles and text. Learners can also upload their own images to be included as objects or as a background image and include their own audio or choose one of the music tracks provided by Powtoon. Finally, there are also some awesome templates that teachers and learners can use and adapt to their needs.
Below is a great example of authentic use. Heidi Neltner of Johnson Elementary School in Fort Thomas, KY created this Powtoon to introduce digital citizenship and computer lab rules to her students.

1 tablespoon
melted butter
1 1/4 cups
tea biscuits, crushed
4 tablespoons
butter, melted
4 ounces
white chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup
half-and-half or light cream
1 (8 ounce) package
cream cheese, softened
1 (8 ounce) container
mascarpone cheese
1/4 cup
superfine sugar
egg yolks
1/2 cup
passion fruit pulp
egg whites
1/4 cup
confectioners' sugar for dusting
passion fruit, pulp removed
Excellent flavor, a little less cook time..a little more Passion Fruit. It was a big hit at my party, so I'm making it again
Plenty of luscious passion fruit taste when made with 3/4 cup of Goya's "Fruta 100% Pure Passion Fruit Pulp"***, instead of the 1/2 cup asked for, but there was no white chocolate flavor! (Probably because I upped the p'fruit quantity.) So, you'll have to use more white chocolate or keep the p'fruit at 1/2 cup if you want to actually taste white chocolate! My only disappointment was in the crust. I made it with Mi Del's "100% Whole Wheat Honey Graham Crackers" & it became soggy. So I suggest at least adding some ground toasted macadamia nuts for crunch to commercial graham crackers or tea biscuits (British short cookies). The cheesecake was topped with AR member "Sweettreat's" own recipe for Chocolate-Dipped, Cheesecake-Wrapped Strawberries". (Hopefully AR will publish her recipe soon because they're so utterly delicious on their own, or topping any cake!) ~~~~~ To answer another reviewer's question about how to make one of the photos' round choc. decoration: I'd butter foil wrapped around a smooth glass jar, drizzle chocolate on it, then refrigerate it until firm. Carefully slide it off & remove foil. If it breaks, use pieces decoratively or start over. *** To find Goya brand "Fruta - 100% Pure Passion Fruit Pulp", which is a puree with no sugar or water added, look for the flat, 14 ounce plastic bags of it in the freezer section of possibly your regular or Asian grocer's, & definitely at Hispanic grocery stores. At a regular grocer, look in the freezer with Hispanic items.

I've made this a couple times, but substituted raspberries for the passion fruit. It is so amazingly good. One note: the times I've used Ghiradelli white chocolate, it has tasted infinitely better than with store-brand white chocolate chips.
The most amazing cake ever. You'll think it was bought from a shop...
A little less cooking time. The first one I made just tasted like a regular white cake. The next time I added a bit more cream cheese and white chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Delicious!
how do you make that chocolate decorative round piece?

Of all Stravinsky's ballets Petrushka is the most graphic: the one where the music seems most conspiciously to be telling a story, and where, correspondingly, substantial passages suggest action in mime rather than formal dance. The score appears to have been fitted exactly to this particular narrative, whereas, to give just one example, even The Rite of Spring has been shown by Walt Disney to be just as suitable for dinosaurs to dance as ancient Scythians
However, in his own account of the work's genesis, Stravinsky was at pains to affirm that the music of Petrushka came before any notion of subject matter. According to his memoirs, he claimed:
'I wanted to refresh myself by composing an orchestral piece in which the piano would play the most important part... In composing the music, I had in mind a distinct picture of a puppet, suddenly endowed with life, exasperating the patience of the orchestra with diabolical cascades of arpeggios. The orchestra in turn retaliates with menacing trumpet blasts. The outcome is a terrific noise which reaches its climax and ends in the sorrowful and querulous collapse of the poor puppet'.
This sounds like a description of the ballet's second scene, though at this point, so Stravinsky insists, he still did not know he was writing a ballet, even less one with this subject. Speaking of the summer he spent in 1910 writing the piece, he said: 'I struggled for hours, walking beside the Lake of Geneva, to find a title which would express in a word the character of my music... One day I leapt for joy. I had indeed found my title - Petrushka, the immortal and unhappy hero of every fair in all countries.'
All that was needed now was for this unhappy hero to step forward out of the score and dance, and that transition from concert piece into ballet was, again following Stravinsky's story, coaxed into happening by Diaghilev. He visited the composer in Switzerland (this must have been in September or October), heard what had been written of the puppet concerto, and persuaded Stravinsky he had the makings of a ballet.
The rest followed quickly. In October Stravinsky and his family moved to Beaulieu, near Nice, and by December he had added the first scene and the start of the third. Christmas he spent in St Petersburg, discussing the ballet with Diaghilev and with others who would be closely involved: Alexandre Benois, who had a share with him in the scenario and created the designs; Mikhail Fokine, the choreographer; and Vaslav Nijinsky, who was to be the first interpreter of the title role.
In mid-January 1911, having returned to Beaulieu, he wrote back to a Russian friend about the progress of his work: 'My last visit to Petersburg did me much good, and the final scene is shaping up excitingly... quick tempos, concertinas, major keys... smells of Russian food - shchi - and of sweat and glistening leather boots. Oh what excitement!' (It is interesting to note how very Russian he felt the music to be while he was writing it, whereas two decades later, in the memoirs already quoted, he was concerned to present Petrushka as an international figure.)
The final scene was interrupted for a month while Stravinsky was ill with nicotine poisoning. In late April he sent his family back to Russia and went himself to Rome, where the Diaghilev company were appearing and where he completed the score on 26 May. The first performance took place just 17 days later, in Paris, with a cast led by Nijinsky, Tamara Karsavina (the Ballerina), Alexandre Orlov (the Moor) and Enrico Cecchetti (the showman), and with Pierre Monteux conducting.
Since then, of course, Petrushka has had a firm place in the ballet repertory, but it turned out too that Stravinsky had, after all, composed a concert piece, as he had originally intended, for the score very quickly became one of his most frequently played orchestral works: he himself often included it in concerts and it was one of the first pieces he conducted for gramophone records, in June 1928.

'Historically this is really interesting, as it was the ballet that Stravinsky wrote between Rite of Spring and The Firebird, which we've performed recently, so this is sort of completing that trilogy. Musically I find it very intersting - I was introduced to the score at University as an important piece of 20th century music. It was done at a time where everything was getting bigger and bigger; orchestras were increasing in size and pieces were getting longer as well, before such extravagance was all brought to an end by the first world war.'
Recommended by
Michael Clifford
BRB Shoe Master
Even thought it's only one part of a mixed programme, Petrushka is a very big piece. It's only four scenes but it seems like four acts - there are huge crowd scenes in scenes one and four, and there are lots of actors, lots of colour, lots of costumes and lots of shoes; high production, it's really impressive. It's just absolute sheer bulk, with lots of individual market sellers and bakers and dolls and nursemaids and stable boys and coachmen, and then there's a big mad rush at the end where they all have to get changed into animal costumes a stork, a pig, a calf, a raven it's bigger than Sleeping Beauty for me.'

I have been thinking lately about how important it is to support the culture and community of tattooing. It seems like a no-brainer, but I noticed that it doesn't seem like people have any real criteria for the support they do give. It's almost like people have an odd biased that is based on a "what can I get out of this" attitude. This makes sense since we have such a capitalist environment at play…
But what if we took that attitude out of it completely. What if we just supported artists, companies, suppliers based on the actual quality of the product, art or service. What if we based our support on the idea of where we wish to see our culture in 5, 10 or 20 years? I don't know, maybe that's too much to ask… But maybe we could challenge ourselves to think about why we by needles from Worldwide needles as opposed to Lucky's Tattoo Supply or KingPin, just as an example. Is the cost the only factor?
Or what if we thought about why we like a certain artist and overlook others with just as much talent or potential. Is it just the hype that has been created around a certain person that attracts us? Everyone wants to be noticed; some people are better at it than others. But there's something to be said about finding that diamond in the rough. Jumping on someone else's train isn't going to get you where you want to go. But this whole blog is about where our culture will go, not about where you or I will go. Time will only tell which of us really made a difference.
With that said, if we know the reasons why we support someone or something there's a better chance everyone benefits from this whole thing we call life. We can take some responsibility in even the smallest choices, which eventually shape our future. This applies not only to our culture but also to a broader population. We have to decide what we want to happen to our culture and make sure every decision we make is for that common good, rather than being solely self-centered about our choices.
Some intentions are corrosive not only to the self but also to a community as a whole. If you support a company, supplier or artists ask yourself not, "What advantage does this give me?" But ask instead, "What does supporting this do for my community or culture?" Ask these questions when you make any decision involving our culture, such as taking on an apprentice or opening a shop, going on a reality TV show, showing art in a gallery, or publishing a book. I'm not saying we shouldn't do these things. I'm saying we should know why and have some motivations that benefit the common good. We have to be conscious about how we represent one another. We are our brothers and sisters keepers…

Lissi and the Wild Emperor (Lissi und der wilde Kaiser)
Action/Adventure, Animation, Comedy
This family oriented CG-animated movie spoofs a classic series of European pictures, the Sissi films, which starred Romy Schneider. The original films relayed events from the life of Empress Elisabeth of Austria, nicknamed Sissi; with his satirical take on the events, celebrated European animator Michael Herbig Bully tells a variation on the same story, but renames his heroine Lissi, fills the narrative with sight gags, pratfalls and jokes, and throws in at least one kidnapping by a madcap Yeti. Herbig, Christian Tramitz, Rick Kavanian and others provide voices.~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

How often have we lamented that obtaining negative results has stymied productivity and gotten in the way of career progression? After all, no reputable journal will accept negative results, and without publications we may as well throw our science careers out the window.
The problem is that negative results ARE results nonetheless. While they may not be as sexy as positive data, negative data are a consequence of hard work and should be considered just as important as positive data.
One reason for this observed bias can likely be attributed to the early stages of scientific methodology. All scientific experiments start out with background research that leads to a hypothesis. The overwhelming number of scientists hypothesize that treatment A will result in consequence B happening to subject C. Very few scientists will hypothesize that treatment A will not result in any changes to subject C. Who wants to do THAT kind of experiment.
What we often fail to remember is that the hypothesis is really just an educated guess which must honestly be proven to be either correct or incorrect. Unfortunately, only hypotheses that are proven correct end up making it past the cutting room floor of the high-impact journals which is akin to rewarding good guessing over hard work.
In an effort to recognize the important contribution of hard-working scientists who's experiments have concluded with negative results, an online database called Figshare has been created as a global repository for all the unpublished negative data coming out of hard-working science labs.
The idea is to have scientists publish ALL their negative data in the database. The database is open access and therefore any information stored there can be used freely by other scientists as long as it is properly attributed.
At the very least, such a system helps prevent other scientists from wasting untold amounts of money repeating the same experiment only to eventually come up with similar negative results. Whats-more, should your data eventually be published by another researcher, you will receive a citation and perhaps even an opportunity for collaboration.
As is written on the figshare website:
Unless we as scientists publish all of our data, we will never achieve access to the sum of all scientific knowledge.
Although Figshare cannot replace the thrill of publishing in a top-tiered scientific journal, it should help take away the sting of negative results and lead to an appreciation for all scientific data both positive and negative.

Fausto Puglisi Fall 2014
Oh, that you could hear this from Fausto Puglisi directly and not just be reading it online. The Sicilian-born Puglisi is one of a handful of emerging talents shaking up Milan, and he was recounting backstage, in a wonderful stream of consciousness, just how he came to arrive at his fall 2014 collection, a kaleidoscopic mix of exuberant harlequin checks, jewel-encrusted flourishes, and an ode to Lady Liberty, a look Puglisi dubbed "super rock meets super chic." You'll have to excuse some of the paraphrasing, because Puglisi speaks quickly and I scribble into a notebook slowly, but here goes . . . "It was a lot of work, but I am so happy, I smile when I look at this collection . . . but it's a serious job, designing, and I take it seriously. These aren't prints, but are patterns individually pieced together by hand . . . I was thinking about Malevich, the Ballet Russes, Sonia Delaunay . . . Paris when Sonia Delaunay was working, it was like Warhol's Factory in New York in the sixties, so much creativity . . . New York is about hope and optimism to me. I want to be like the Frank Sinatra of fashion . . . bringing joy . . . maybe with Robert De Niro thrown in . . . So the Statue of Liberty in there . . . " Where, Fausto? He broke into a huge grin and pulled at the sleeve of his sweater, which depicted Liberty's iconic face rendered as an intarsia. "You like?"
It's nigh on impossible not to get swept up in the sheer joie de vivre that Puglisi brings to the proceedings, and the raw, untamed energy he delivers to the Milan scene at a time when the city is ruled by its global behemoths. Puglisi continued on the same high octane surge of energy he came up with for spring, which meant that for every thigh-high harlequin mini crinoline (FYI: those Dangerous Liaisons meets RiRi skirts have removable panniers to make them lie flatter), there was an elegantly sedate color blocked pleated skirt swirling demurely around the knees; for every oversized bad girl black leather biker jacket, sleeves groaning under the weight of pounds worth of gems, there is a ladylike graphic wool duster coat, as they were known back in the day, that day being around 1962. (But it's not at all retro; it would look effortlessly cool worn with his brilliant gilded flat black ankle boots, shimmering with stones.) It makes for an interesting conversation, this desire of Puglisi's to keep up a dialogue between his wilder theatrical impulses and his desire to make clothes which will be relevant to a lot of women, not just the types that drive street bloggers crazy. His next challenge is going to be to make more clothes for the former while continuing to distill into them something of the latter. Puglisi doesn't always have to turn up the loudness, especially not right now when everyone is listening to him.

Nine days and three crushing defeats later, and here we are at the end of the fall sports season for our area teams.
It's hard to believe we've already reached this point, as it seems like just yesterday I wrote about the start of football season.
The final three teams from our area — East Union volleyball, Mount Ayr football and Murray football — each had tremendous seasons come to a crashing halt in three very different, but equally painful ways.
The Eagles took a 2-1 lead in sets over Grandview Park Baptist back on Oct. 31 before dropping the final two sets, needing only one of them to win the match and advance to state for the third straight season.
The Raiders went into Council Bluffs to take on St. Albert for the second straight year in the playoffs, and came in with a winning attitude, believing they could pull off the upset.
Even after falling behind 14-0 on a fluke defensive touchdown and a long touchdown run by the Falcons, the Raiders still looked like they believed in themselves and had some fight left.
But, a second defensive touchdown on the final play of the half proved to be too much for Mount Ayr to overcome, as the Raider season ended at Al Leber Field for the second straight season.
I only saw the final 4:30 of Murray's semifinal game against Gilbertville Don Bosco, but there were several times in those 4:30 that I thought one of the teams was going to deliver a crippling blow to the opponent.
I certainly did not expect that blow to come on Murray's 2-point conversion attempt in overtime when Austin Halls' pass for Sam Rockhold was deflected in the end zone.
Taking these season-ending defeats are especially difficult for the seniors on the team, some of whom may be playing that particular sport for the very last time.
I am sure Thursday's loss was hard for the Murray seniors to swallow, and I witnessed firsthand how difficult it was for the East Union and Mount Ayr seniors to say goodbye to their high school careers in their respective sports.
The moments just after someone has played his final snap on the football field or her final set on the volleyball court are some of the most raw, emotional moments in high school sports.
Mount Ayr co-head football coach Delwyn Showalter summed it up best.
"It's always difficult to see a good group of kids go," Showalter said following the Mount Ayr loss. "Every year you feel bad. You want to end with a win every year."
This year's group of Raider seniors really set the tone for an improved season this year, taking the team from 5-5 last season to 11-1 this season.
The Raider seniors embody hard work, something that did not go unnoticed by Showalter.
"We came a long way, and it was through hard work," Showalter said. "Sometimes people think just being a year older, you're better, and all you are is a year older if you don't put any effort into it. Our guys put a lot of effort into it, and we had really good leadership from our seniors this year. Small senior class, but just a tremendous amount of leadership from them."
Showalter's co-coach Derek Lambert took some time after the loss to talk to me about each of the seniors on the team.
• On Johnathan Triggs and Levi Martin — "We're going to miss those seniors," Lambert said. "John Triggs and Levi Martin are two guys up front who have led us all year long. Levis is a guy that really led us in the weight room. He's a guy who really did everything it took. It was a struggle for him his freshman and sophomore year, but really turned it on his junior years. He was our definite leader in the weight room."
• On Zane Sickels — "Zane, a small kid, again put his work in in the weight room and made himself bigger and faster," Lambert said. "A tremendous leader, and a great lead blocker for our guys back there."
• On Braydee Poore — "Braydee's stats speak for themselves," Lambert said. "Braydee's a tremendous athlete. I've talked to Braydee quite a bit, and I know basketball is his first love, but I tell him he's one heck of a football player. He's a great receiver and a great free safety. He does a great job of blocking, runs great routes and he's fast. He controls his body well in the air."
• On Dylan Doman — "Dylan Doman is a kid that gets to rotate at one of our wingback spots as a senior," Lambert said. "A lot of seniors wouldn't stick it out, but he's done a great job, worked hard and gave himself an opportunity to rotate through and did the best he could. When we've got seniors that give us all they have for all four year, they're going to get an opportunity. He did. He made a great catch for us last week against Ogden."
• On Shane Swank — "Shane Swank is another senior that is going to be missed," Lambert said. "He was opposite Braydee there, and Braydee got a lot of attention. Shane did a nice job, especially in these last two or three ballgames, getting some big catches for us. Shane's probably our best blocker at receiver. He does a tremendous job of getting low, and I think that's the wrestling coming out in him. I think he was our leading tackler defensively as our outside linebacker. Shane will be missed because of his work ethic. Anything you ask of him, he'd do it. That's a credit to our senior class. They did a great job of leading us, and we're really going to miss them."
Showalter and Lambert aren't the only ones who are going to miss the senior class.
Whether it's Mount Ayr football, Murray football, East Union volleyball or any of the other teams I covered this fall sports season, they all had fantastic seniors on their teams who were fun to watch.
I, too, will miss those senior classes.

Intense industry opposition is casting uncertainty over the prospects for a pending House bill that would expand the role of Congress in reviewing nuclear-trade agreements, government sources and experts close to the issue say (see GSN, April 27).
Leading the effort to kill the legislation is the Nuclear Energy Institute, the industry's lobbying arm. The group has dispatched more than two dozen lobbyists to Capitol Hill at a cost of more than $3 million to oppose the reform legislation, H.R. 1280, as well as advocate the energy sector's position on other congressional measures.
The House Foreign Affairs Committee passed the bill by unanimous vote in April 2011. The bill would require congressional approval of U.S. nuclear-cooperation pacts with other nations, unless the proposed agreement includes strict nonproliferation measures.
As it stands, however, the House Rules Committee is "actively blocking" H.R. 1280, one aide in that chamber said recently, while another complained about the circulation of misinformation about the bill.
In an effort to spark new interest in the legislation, the committee last month issued a 28-page report on the bill that slammed the Obama administration's handling of nonproliferation objectives in these types of atomic cooperation negotiations. It argued that Capitol Hill should step up its role in reviewing such agreements and determining which ones can proceed.
At the same time, in a surprising development that could be a potential boost for the congressional measure's sponsors, the administration has launched a new interagency review of its policy on nuclear trade and nonproliferation, according to sources in and outside of government.
A January policy decision that Washington would decide on a case-by-case basis whether to demand the strictest nonproliferation provisions in such accords--rather than seek such assurances from all trade partners--has drawn forceful resistance from Democrats and Republicans alike (see GSN, March 9).
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has directed that the Obama team move to rethink the approach, Global Security Newswire has learned. That comes despite a January letter to Congress from senior officials with the State and Energy departments explaining why a more proliferation-proof policy would risk alienating prospective trade partners (see GSN, Jan. 23).
A case-by-case approach translates to "no policy at all," Henry Sokolski, executive director of the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center, said last month. "It's just one-off."
He applauded the administration's latest move to "take another hard look at what we're doing, if anything, to stem the spread of sensitive technology."
Should the Obama team ultimately commit itself to stronger nonproliferation terms in its nuclear-trade policy, Congress might feel less compelled to act, according to some issue experts. Lawmakers formulated the H.R. 1280 bill in 2010 and 2011 only after it appeared that the executive branch was taking a more permissive approach in talks with Jordan and Vietnam, sources said.
Under such trade deals, Washington allows U.S. companies to build nuclear reactors abroad or provide sensitive energy materials, technologies or services to foreign nations.
The debate revolves mainly around the "gold standard," a provision that could be included in U.S. nuclear-cooperation agreements under which partner nations would pledge not to domestically enrich uranium or reprocess plutonium.
These activities can be useful for peaceful nuclear power--the focus of the trade agreements--but also might open the door to clandestine efforts to develop an atomic weapon.
The United Arab Emirates agreed in a 2009 pact with the United States to forsake any enrichment or reprocessing. That led to a debate in Washington as to whether such trade agreements with other nations should include a similar gold-standard promise.
Advocates said this could help prevent future copycats of Iran's nuclear program, which is widely suspected of having a military dimension despite Tehran's insistence that it remains dedicated only to peaceful power generation and research.
The House legislation, cosponsored by committee Chairwoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., and ranking member Howard Berman, D-Calif., would allow only those trade accords that include the gold standard to be implemented after 90 days of continuous congressional session, unless lawmakers act to stop them. This is seen as a relatively light form of congressional review that typically results in a pact going forward.

Top players such as Ana conduct upwards of 50 press conferences per year and inevitably questions about tennis can become somewhat repetetive. It is perhaps surprising, therefore, that some players appear irked when quizzed about trivial matters.
Ana is not one of them: she seems to enjoy such irreverence, as shown in the transcript below from this year's Australia Open.
The 24-year-old giggled her way through this exchange with a reporter from New Zealand:
Q. Serena got a bit scared of the insects out on court. Are you afraid of bugs at all?
ANA: No, no. More snakes. Or sharks. (Laughter.)
Q. So you played on a court with snakes?
ANA: No. Luckily growing up in Serbia we don't have too many. Not the dangerous ones. Although my dad found a really poisonous snake on th golf course when he was playing, the black one. I don't know the name.
Q. Here in Australia?
ANA: Yeah, here in Australia. Actually in Perth. He was actually quite scared.
Q. You swim in Australia, but you're still afraid of sharks?
ANA: Yeah, I am. But did you ever see me swim (laughter)? I swim in the water back and forth. I need to have someone further than me, then I feel safe.
Q. Marcos Baghdatis smashed four racquets last night in one minute. When is the last time you smashed a racquet, and have you ever smashed that many?
ANA: You might be surprised, but I do smash racquets sometimes. Last time I smashed not as many, but I smashed three racquets. That was the US Open, I think '09. I lost the match after being match point up. I was quite upset. It didn't really make me better, so I decided, 'what's the point?'
(More serious questions were asked before the light-hearted journalist asked the final question of the press conference)
Q. They say the world is going to end this year. What would you like to do before the world explodes?
ANA: Just live it up. Live it up every day (laughter).

Secret Ceremony
Secret Ceremony was based on a prize-winning short story by Argentine civil servant Marco Denevi. Elizabeth Taylor plays Leonora, an aging prostitute who becomes convinced that Cenci (Mia Farrow) is her daughter -- who supposedly died in infancy. Cenci knows that she is in fact Leonora's niece, but Leonora will not be dissuaded in her illusion that their blood ties are stronger. Albert (Robert Mitchum), Cenci's incestuous stepfather, enters the scene, laying the groundwork for a near-orgy of insanity. The full effect of Secret Ceremony was idiotically watered down when additional scenes were shot for the TV version in an attempt to make the sordid goings-on acceptable for a mass audience (for example, Elizabeth Taylor's profession was altered from hooker to seamstress!) ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Steve Martin doesn't think it strange that he can excel at acting, comedy, novel writing, magic, art collecting and banjo playing. After all, he says, normal people excel at disparate activities.
"They raise kids, go to work, do all that stuff," he says.
If Martin's multitasking isn't amazing in itself, then the skill level he achieves in each of those crafts is. The latest example: his second bluegrass album, Rare Bird Alert, released Tuesday on Rounder Records, which features ace acoustic band The Steep Canyon Rangers and guests Paul McCartney and the Dixie Chicks.
Filled with deft musicianship and inventive wordplay, the album would seem the product of a long life devoted to writing and recording music. The instrumentals are precisely constructed and performed, and Martin's lyrics to "Best Love," "Jubilation Day" and "Atheists Don't Have No Songs" often offer an oblique, convention-tweaking humor that will remind longtime fans of some of his standup routines from the 1970s. (Another calling card from that period is here as well, as Martin and the Rangers present a banjo-laden version of Martin's Top 20 comedy hit "King Tut.") Martin does a little singing on the album, but he leaves most of the vocal duties to the Rangers and his guests.
Martin, who with The Steep Canyon Rangers will play the The Woods Amphitheater at Fontanel on May 27, called from his California home to discuss Rare Bird Alert, bluegrass legend Earl Scruggs and other musical matters.

Reviews for Eggplant Zucchini Bolognese
Sort By :
"My family loved it. I roasted roma tomatoes with balsamic vinegar, basil, salt and pepper on a sheet tray in the oven with the veggies. Put it into the blender for Tomato puree. I also roasted the veggies longer because we like soft veggies."
"I was looking for a new zucchini recipe amd came across this. It came out delicious and was easy. I have a feeling it will make great leftovers too."
"A great recipe that used a lot of garden fresh veggies from my grandma's garden. Will definitely make this again. I used group turkey instead of beef."
"Just loved this recipe, however, altered it a bit. Family is not that into the zucchini. I added, in addition to the ground beef, Perri Sausage, or any other brand of sausage, you may like. I used Hot Sausage, browned with the hamburg, or you can bake it ahead of time, and cut into small bite sizes. Also, found that the Italian Seasoning, was WAY WAY to Heavy, and over whelmed the entire Dish. I would ad HALF the amount, next time I make this. This is a fast meal to make for last minute get togethers, served with a fresh Salad and Garlic Bread! Yummy, Yummy, Yummy!"
"After reading the reviews, I opted to make a few adjustments. You can mix & match as you like. Last night, I roasted a big sweet onion, eggplant, zucchini, summer squash, and sliced mushrooms. For my sauce, I just had 2 cans of diced italian style tomatoes (14.5oz ea.) and 1 can of tomato sauce on hand. I left out the brown sugar and added a bit of italian seasoning. Oh- we are big italian sausage lovers so that it was I used. Big fans of this recipe!!"
