Vintage Ligety storms to win in Beaver Creek GS
Ted Ligety showed the true mark of a champion as he came from fourth after the first run in the second Beaver Creek Giant Slalom to win. Ligety was a man on a mission as he put in a blistering second run to not only win the race but also become the most successful American in Giant Slalom with his tenth World Cup Giant Slalom race win. Kjetil Jansrud continued the rich vein of form of the HEAD World Cup rebels by holding on to third in the race. Marcel Hirscher took second place.
The temperature may have been cold but the bright sunshine and the racing soon had people warmed up. After a first run that had seen three HEAD racers in the top five spots with Aksel Lund Svindal leading Kjetil Jansrud and Ligety in an assault on the leaderboard. Didier Cuche in his 350th World Cup race spanning 18 years was up there challenging the new breed of racers as well!
The day belonged to Ted Ligety. After the disappointment of losing out on Sunday, Ligety admitted after the race that he was on the edge on the second run especially: ""The second run I was definitely skiing with a lot more intensity and a little more anger," Ligety said. "Sunday I was hoping to get the win there in front of a bunch of friends and family but Hirscher skied great that day. Today I wanted some redemption. I pushed super, super hard that last run. It was pretty close to the limit there."
With just three hundredths separating places two to four after the first run, Ligety, in fourth place, was in an unaccustomed position: "I think I've gotten used to skiing with the pressure after being first after the first run and sometimes it's kind of nice when you cross the finish line and you know exactly where you stand," he said. With his lightness on his edges and clean line, Ligety gave the remaining three racers plenty to do if they wanted to wrestle the lead from him.
Kjetil Jansrud put in a charge on the second run as well. At one stage the Norwegian had one ski up in the air yet recovered to post a time that would be second to Ligety on the run. "I did not know where I was for a moment," he commented afterwards. Svindal managed to get down in a position to add more points to his burgeoning Overall points tally that he now leads.
1. Ted Ligety (USA) HEAD
2. Marcel Hirscher (AUT)
3. Kjetil Jansrud (NOR) HEAD
6. Aksel Lund Svindal (NOR) HEAD
20. Florian Eisath (ITA) HEAD

Railay Table
Sunset. Cool drink in hand.
We liked the bar table so much, we took it home.
Ok, so we didn't literally steal the hotel bar set from our favorite resort, but we did go out and get one just like it—and the table to go with it. The Bar-height Railay Table is designed to coordinate with the Railay Stools and Negril Bar (sold separately). Put them together and you instantly have a resort-inspired bar set. Where you always know the regulars because they're your best friends.
Serves all year round.
The Railay Table is made of durable all-weather "wicker" around a rust-resistant aluminum frame that endures wind, sun, rain, snow, ice, without fading or cracking. You can leave it outside all year long—no tailored furniture covers required or storing it indoors and moving it back outdoors again. So your outdoor setting is always party-ready.
Instantly set the mood of your outdoor setting. With covetable design and tempered-glass top, the Railay Table invites people set down their glasses, bottles and drinks without worry of tipping. Plus, the smooth glass surface is easy to wipe clean—no coasters required nor lingering cup rings. Our high-end Railay Table is the prefect size for the Railay Stools and proportionate to the Negril Bar (sold separately) to complete your outdoor bar…or should we say party…set. We recommend you order as many Railay Tables as you anticipate guests. Odds are, with an inviting set like this, you'll have to account for at least a few extra guests (of guests)—your patio will be the new party central. The Railay Table measures: 18.3"w x 23.3"d x 43.5"h.
Order your Railay Table, Stools and Negril Bar today.

This is the craziest spin yet. That 7-9 would be some extraordinary achievement and way beyond even our wildest expectations. With our schedule and no major injuries in a division with 2 other terrible teams... It was going to be a real challenge for us to have a really bad year. Rookie QB and new coaching staff are valid excuses for struggles, but there was also a lot of continuity on this team. Ireland is supposed to have some master plan here that at some point might even include improvement and success. If your mind is blown by 7-9, you have outrageously low expectations.
Success is actually pretty obvious. People here try so hard to spin situations and create contexts that somehow find minor successes in failure, but that's an illusion. When we're successful, we'll all know. It's not ****ing reading tea leaves.
MIAMI just went away from "PARCELLSBALL", and into the 21st Century NFL. It required massive change. MIAMI put in 2 completely new "systems": a "4-3" D replacing the previous "3-4"; and a WCO and "zone blocking" replacing whatever you call PARCELLS' system. You would expect MIAMI to be even worse!!! But the team already has 5 wins, and except for a couple bounces and some unexplainable erratic play from a very solid FG Kicker, MIAMI could be 8-5 w/an outside shot at 9-4. It's better than we had a right to expect, and a testament to just how good MANY of MIAMI's players really are.
And now, all of a sudden, we have a LOT of "cap" space. And a lot of Draft Picks. And a GM that isn't under the thumb of his Mentor (PARCELLS) and the Mentor's outdated brand of football. And a Coaching Staff that belongs in the modern NFL, and not the NFL of yesteryear. And a team that needs some more talented players, but not--repeat NOT--that MANY more. I myself am encouraged, more than I've been in a very long time. What if, for example, we had a C AVRIL to play opposite WAKE? And what if we had a certain deep threat WR presently playing in PITTSBURGH? And what if we landed a certain very solid F/A G? And what if we keep our own F/As? And what if we just continue to follow Coach PHILBIN's approach, and keep trying to develop OUR OWN players as well?
Well, guess what, fellow DOLFANS? MIAMI can do ALL OF THAT...and perhaps more. And that's w/o even talking about the Draft, and the possibility of landing a top CB or two, or a certain unholy terror of a MLB from Notre Dame, plus a couple more contributors. I can't even REMEMBER when MIAMI was in a position to do as much. So, to all those who say that the glass is half-empty (or worse), I say no, it's half full...and there's a lot more Chateau Neuf De Pape '54 to pour into it!
All those in favor, say "aye"; all opposed, kiss my ever-lovin' a**.
In the words of Harold Lauder "Every dog has his day...."
I have enjoyed 2 Super Bowls XVII and XIX, 20 playoff appearances, 7 AFC East Championships, and 2 AFC Championships.
I just want us to win and be the franchise we once was. I miss it. I love the Dolphins like my own kids and I want to be proud of them one day again but, right now I just want us to be better and that's all I ask. Thanks Pasquale.

Triple treat on tap at Border Bash
Bristol's Border Bash concert series continues Friday with musical entertainment by three different bands.
Performances by The Tillers, Hurray for the Riff Raff and Rosco Bandana begin at 6:30 p.m. on State Street.
The twice-monthly free summer concert series is celebrating its 14th anniversary as a roving mini-fest that has grown to include children's activities and vendors in addition to free live music. The concerts take place the first and third Fridays of each month, through August. Children's activities begin at 6 p.m., followed by live music.
Admission is free.
Border Bash takes place in the 600 block of State Street in June and July, and will move to the 500 and 400 blocks in August.
The Tillers will kick off Friday's concert at 6:30 p.m. The band's unique punk background has produced its wide range of musical styles, and its sound incorporates traditional folk, bluegrass, jazz, punk rock and any other genres members might run into. The Tillers have shared the stage with Doc Watson, Ramblin' Jack Elliot, Guy Clark, Country Joe McDonald, Jerry Douglas, Iris Dement, The Carolina Chocolate Drops and others.
Hurray for the Riff Raff will take the stage at 7:45 p.m. Alynda lee Segarra, a 25-year-old Puerto Rican from the Bronx, released two records consisting of delicate folk and country songs. Segarra and her gunslinger on fiddle, Yosi Perlstein, met up with a young honky-tonk band called the Tumbleweeds just as she was beginning to expand her musical palette to include rock 'n' roll, pop and soul. The group's new album, "Look Out Mama," covers a wide array of musical ground, with every song unified by Segarra's soulful vocals and expert songwriting.
Rosco Bandana will cap off the evening with a 9 p.m. performance. Rosco Bandana is a seven-piece Americana band from Gulfport, Miss., and is the first group signed to Hard Rock Records. The band is the product of teenage rebellion and its consequences of lost love, false starts and lasting friendship. It's what happens when a group of kids takes a chance on a long shot and — against all odds — it pays off.
Border Bash's band lineup consists mainly of artists slated to play the Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion in September. A few of the Border Bash acts will also perform at the Birthplace of Country Music's monthly free concert series at Big Glades in Wise, Va.
Border Bash is hosted by Be- lieve in Bristol, Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion and the Birth- place of Country Music and Cel- ebrate Bristol on the 4th of July.

I played Magic a long time ago, and I remember activated abilities on creatures were considered instants. Reading through the rules today, it isn't quite clear to me. The reason I am wondering is for the combination of Prodigal Pyromancer and Fire Servant. The does the Fire Servant's doubling apply to the Prodigal Pyromancer's ": Prodigal Pyromancer deals 1 damage to target creature or player."?

No, the doubling does not apply. Creature abilities are fast effects, a class which includes instants. But instants, like sorceries, are a distinct spell type.

We are very grateful to Headline Publisher Group for providing us with a proof copy of the following book.
The Taste of Sorrow
by Jude Morgan
Headline Publisher Group
Published 14th May 2009
Hardback ISBN: 9780755338894
Paperback ISBN: 9780755338993
From an obscure country parsonage came the most extraordinary family of the nineteenth century. The Bronte sisters created a world in which we still live - the intense, passionate world of Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights; and the phenomenon of this strange explosion of genius remains as baffling now as it was to their Victorian contemporaries. In this panoramic novel we see with new insight the members of a uniquely close-knit family whose tight bonds are the instruments of both triumph and tragedy. Emily, the solitary who turns from the world to the greater temptations of the imagination: Anne, gentle and loyal, under whose quietude lies the harshest perception of the stifling life forced upon her: Branwell, the mercurial and self-destructive brother, meant to be king, unable to be a prince: and the brilliant, uncompromising, tormented Charlotte, longing for both love and independence, who establishes the family's name and learns its price.
It is not everyday that Juliet Barker is quoted as saying that The Taste of Sorrow by Jude Morgan is 'quite simply the best novel about the Brontës I have ever read'. And when we closed the book ourselves we couldn't help but echo her words. In fact, we would go as far as saying that, fictionalised account as it is, it is much better than a good many serious, brimming-with-data, feet-on-the-ground biographies.
The story of the Brontës is, in many ways, a real-life fairytale. It certainly doesn't have too many rose-coloured moments, but it does have a sort of magic, a sad kind of magic if you will, which is reflected in their novels to the point of sending most of their readers straight to some biography. However, up until now the Brontë story was mostly told in a very aseptic way, which is not necessarily bad, of course. But there was nothing that really captured the afore-mentioned sad magic. And here's when Jude Morgan - a pseudonym as ambiguous as Currer, Ellis or Acton Bell - enters the scene and astounds us with his wonderful prose, his amazing take on the story and his tremendous gift for story-telling.
Jude Morgan doesn't try to copy the Brontës' style, neither does he even try to use a 19th-century style. In fact, his prose is highly modern in many aspects, which then makes the fact that it fits in so well with the story all the more surprising. Morgan's is not a style the Brontës would have used back in their day but we are now convinced that it is the style they deserve in our day. This well-known story, made up of key scenes, breath-taking remarks and things left unsaid (Jude Morgan is able to write silences even) takes such a turn in Jude Morgan's hand that you find yourself reading on and on, wondering what is going to happen next even if you do know what is - so absorbing is the story. But the writing makes all the difference: the stage is all lit up and what up until now was a rigid painting, much like the famous Pillar portrait, where you both saw and couldn't see the Brontës, is now full of life, and unexpectedly moving in all senses of the word.
Most of those scenes are key to the Brontë story: well-known events such as the dramatic death of Maria Brontë, née Branwell, the gift of the toy-soldiers or the journey to Brussels are both told faithfully and added to with a dose of highly believable fiction. This dose of fiction also supplies us with moments which are of course out and out fiction but which help explain situations, depict personalities and weave the story so well that it's very hard to dismiss them as 'just fiction, not real', even though they are. Maria and Elizabeth, Tabby or even Aunt Branwell, of whom so little is known, are so alive, so three-dimensional that it's simply not possible to dismiss them as accurate or inaccurate because in a way that's tantamount to saying that of your brother or sister. Thus, Jude Morgan helps us to savour moments and meet people that may not be true in the strict sense of the word but are extremely real.
And as for those people/characters we 'know' best they are extremely well depicted as well, even though in all probability each reader who is a little acquainted with the Brontës will have their very own Patrick/Charlotte/Branwell/Emily/Anne. However, they all seem quite consistent with their real-life selves, with Patrick being slightly colder and more distant than we have been led to believe in recent years. Charlotte and Branwell as well as their relationship are stunningly real and Anne is not forgotten in the shadows of her siblings but right at the forefront with a remarkable personality. However, complex as they all were, we believe Mr Morgan deserves even more praise for his particular work on Emily, as he seems to have steered well clear of putting her away in one of the wide-ranging, ready-made categories that have been created for her over the years and has taken her for what we actually know of her.
That old philosophy of fiction being able to tell the story in a more real light than the actual facts was never truer than in this book, which makes the aptly-told illusion of the fictional worlds of Gondal and Angria even better. Reading The Taste of Sorrow nothing is easier than to see the border between fact and fiction become a blurred, often unnecessary line.
The Brontë story is not exempt of its contradictions and differing versions, which, we believe, must make it all the more difficult to write a fictional account where you can't justify this theory or explain that decision; things have to happen, one after the other, and happen plausibly too. In The Taste of Sorrow this is all seems plain sailing, as Jude Morgan naturally and effortlessly weaves one event after the other, sealing them so well that not a crack is left for doubt. He also navigates firmly between fact and legend. He doesn't dismiss all legends but most scenes do touch on well-known facts, which he then makes his and gives carefully back to the reader, much as a magician who turns a plain white handkerchief into a soaring pigeon.
The Taste of Sorrow is not the first - and nor will it be the last, particularly this and next year - fictional approach to Brontë biography. In recent years, we had Emily's Journal by Sarah Fermi, which focused on Emily and her perhaps-real love story. Here it is mainly Charlotte who bears the brunt of the spotlight but that is not to say that the rest of the 'cast' are mere 'supporting actors'. On the contrary. Another recent approach to the Brontës was Polly Teale's drama Brontë, which read and retold the story from a symbolical, psychological approach. Jude Morgan's tale doesn't really go in that direction, although Morgan perceptively picks up at knots here and there and traces several subtle parallels.
Many modern readers (the kind that run from rather than run to stories dressed in a full Victorian outfit) will appreciate the timelessness of the story. The chronology of the novel is its own and all other measures of time are left out of it which works surprisinly well, especially in terms of getting rid of all that is superfluous.
Jude Morgan's is a unique approach to a unique family, but it is also respectful, delicate and subtle. An instant favourite that will appeal to those already trapped in the Brontë web and those who can't even begin to enumerate their first names. And one of those reads where you both look forward to and dread reaching the last page. But fortunately in this particular case there are quite a few remedies for those withdrawal symptoms.

text: [Leah reviews a performance art piece with applications to social issues here in Philadelphia, and beyond. –the artblog editors] After attending the newest event at New Boon(e) gallery, "The Off White Beast: A Story Telling Performance," I was left pleasantly perplexed and moved. New Boon(e) is an artist collective that explores the need for an artistic community. The space transforms from a working studio space for a group of member-artists into a gallery/exhibition room, and is unified by the need for critical conversation, collaboration, and exposure that extends to the broader art community in Philadelphia. Setting the scene, and the ... More » »

There was some booty shaking, music making and a whole lot of photo taking this morning as country music star and three-time CMA Awards nominee Luke Bryan performed live for Good Morning America outside Bridgestone Arena.
Hundreds of fans packed the plaza well before sunrise for an opportunity to see Bryan and Good Morning America's Robin Roberts on stage in Nashville in advance of tonight's CMA Awards.
"There's a lot of magic in this city," Bryan told Roberts on air, saying people move here and "fall in love with the dream of being a big ol' country singer."

ESA's SOHO Fact Sheet, 30 June 2003. http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/about/docs/SOHO_Fact_Sheet.pdf
The European Space Agency (ESA)-sponsored Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) carries twelve scientific instruments to study the solar atmosphere, helioseismology and solar wind. Information from the mission allows scientists to learn more about the sun's internal structure and dynamics, the chromosphere, the corona and solar particles.
The SOHO and Cluster missions, part of ESA's Solar Terrestrial Science Programme (STSP), are ESA's contributions to the Inter-Agency Solar Terrestrial Physics (IASTP) program. NASA contributed three instruments on SOHO as well as launch and flight operations support.
About two months after launch, on 14 February 1995, SOHO was placed at a distance of 1.5 million km from Earth at the L1 Libration Point. The spacecraft returned its first image on 19 December 1995 and was fully commissioned for operations by 16 April 1996.
SOHO finished its planned two-year study of the sun's atmosphere, surface, and interior in April 1998. Communications with the spacecraft were interrupted for four months beginning on 24 June 1998, but, after intensive search efforts, controllers managed to regain full control by 16 September.
Barring three instruments, the spacecraft was functional and was declared fully operational once again by mid-October 1998. SOHO's original lifetime was three years (to 1998), but ESA and NASA jointly decided to prolong the mission, enabling the spacecraft to compare the sun's behavior during low dark sunspot activity (1996) to the peak (around 2000).
The team -- and everyday people who just watch the website -- have also discovered dozens of comets, many of which are destroyed by the sun's powerful gravity and energy. One of SOHO's most important discoveries has been locating the origin of the fast solar wind at the corners of honeycomb-shaped magnetic fields surrounding the edges of large bubbling cells located near the sun's poles.
SOHO remains in its halo orbit, circling L1 once every six months.

Green Pasture Products In the EU... Passed All EU Testing and Compliance by EU Authorities ... Congratulations Holomed
Posted on November 8, 2010 Dave Wetzel
Holomed in the Netherlands completed work with the EU Authorities including stringent testing and authentication of ALL Blue Ice and X-Factor Products. EU Approval is much more stringent than the rest of the world. There was never any doubt our products would pass as we have completed the same tests here is the US for 10 years without issue but the expense to work with the EU authorities is much more complex and costly than working with the US authorities.

On Wednesday, July 24th, 2013 at 0338 in the morning, the Santa Clara Police Department responded to a burglary alarm at Reed's Indoor Range located at 1100 Duane Avenue. The first arriving officers located several occupants inside a vehicle leaving the area of the alarm. As officers followed the vehicle onto Lafayette Street, the occupants threw several firearms through the fleeing vehicle windows.
The driver, later identified as Tina Marie Guzman, was arrested when the vehicle stopped near Aldo Avenue. The male occupants who fled on foot were quickly apprehended by Santa Clara Police Officers. All three defendants were housed at Santa Clara County Jail.
All firearms stolen during the burglary were recovered. The Santa Clara Police Department appreciates the California Highway Patrol personnel who responded to assist with this investigation. Anyone with information regarding this case is encouraged to call Santa Clara Police Detective Sergeant Patrick Nikolai at (408) 615-4828.
