I tested this mattress out at a local retailer and loved it, however, they were asking too much. I just wanted the mattress and didn't need a box spring since I have a platform bed. I found the mattress for sale at a very fair price here on bedplanet.com.
Heard a lot of good things about this chair. What is even better is the service that Adam provided. He helped me order and explain the product. Adam is a super nice guy. I feel very comfortable to recommend him to anybody else.
I have had the mattress for almost a month now, and I cannot rave about it enough! I went from waking up with back problems every morning with my old mattress, to not having any back problems with this one! This mattress is made for people that...
While I do love the chair the lower back massage is very ROUGH, so much so that I try to avoid it completely now. This may not be a problem with the chair rather than my particular sensitivity, but I end up being very sore for several days after

Lady Bucs begin practice for rapidly approaching 2003-04 season
Saturday, October 18, 2003Johnson City, Tenn. (October 18, 2003) -- East Tennessee State's women's basketball team held its first practice of the 2003-04 season Saturday morning. ETSU starts the season with 14 players on its roster, including seven newcomers -- five of which are freshmen. Seniors Lauren Trantham (Asheville, N.C.), Kiya Verdell (Hartwell, Ga.), and Jessica Lonon (Sylvania, Ga.) highlight the core group of seven returners. Trantham and Verdell were both named to the Southern Conference preseason team by the leagues coaches. ETSU and Chattanooga, were the only two schools to have two players each named to the 10-team preseason squad which was named last weekend at the SoCon's annual basketball tipoff event in Charleston, S.C. The Lady Bucs finished last season with a 9-19 record overall and 6-12 in SoCon play. They will host the National Women's Basketball League in an exhibition game in Brooks Gym on Nov. 23, and will open the 2003-04 regular season at Temple on Nov. 28. On another note, ETSU's men's and women's basketball teams will host "Fan Appreciation Day" at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 19 in Brooks Gym. There will be a Buc two-ball competition and both teams will be holding 15-minute scrimmages. In addition, door prizes will be given away -- including autographed basketballs, t-shirts and tickets to the Buccaneer men's home opener against Mars Hill on Nov. 25. The event will take place following the Buccaneer volleyball match versus Wofford.

Review: Muppets Most Wanted
Muppets Most Wanted opens with a musical number "We're Doing a Sequel." The Muppets jokingly belt out the chorus of the song, "I thought it was the end/but know my friends /this is when we get to do it all again (do it all again)." That is the perfect way to explain Muppets Most Wanted. […] [Read More]

UCI Continental Teams and Women's Teams
Welcome to the homepage for the 2015 UCI Continental and Women's Teams. On here you will find all of the information we have on the logistics of forming, registering, and maintaining a UCI Continental Team or Women's Team. In case you have navigated here by accident, this information is specific to what the UCI has defined as a UCI Continental Team.
Until 2005, this would have been called a UCI Division (or Tier) III Trade Team. These teams make up the bulk of our international teams. The other names you will hear are UCI Professional Continental Team (ex Tier II) and UCI Pro Team (ex Tier I). These latter two types of teams are managed directly by the UCI and the material here is not generally applicable to them. We also manage the UCI Women's Teams. The information here is the same for men and women in most of the cases. Where differences exist, the information for women's teams will be in parentheses.
If you ever need assistance with any aspect of your team process, please do not hesitate to contact Tom Mahoney. One of the benefits of being on a UCI continental team is that you have a dedicated USA Cycling staff contact. I can be reached at: email@example.com. You can call me at my direct work number, 719-434-4216.

1. Team Composition and General Principles
A UCI Continental Team is made up of a minimum of eight riders and a maximum of 16. To be registered with USA Cycling, 60 percent of your riders must have US citizenship (i.e. a UCI code that starts with USA). The majority of the riders must also have a racing age of less than 28 (new in 2014, this age rule does not apply to women's teams). The magic number this year is 1988! Any rider born in 1988 or later counts as one of your young riders for the age ratio. All riders on the team must have a road category 1. If you have foreign riders on your team that are licensed by another federation, they must have their federation's equivalent of a category 1. Please note that we do not upgrade cat 2 and cat 3 riders to cat 1 because they "need" to be upgraded because you want them on your teams. Please choose your riders accordingly.
Also, any specialists on your team must be USA citizens and they do not count into the 60 percent rule. That means without considering the specialists, the team must have 60 percent of the riders be USA citizens. The age restriction also includes your specialists. In other words, more than half of your riders must be under 28 including the specialists. The table below shows the number of USA riders your team must have for a given team size:
|Number on Team
|Number of U.S. Riders
For UCI women's team, the nationality is not calculated the same way. For the women's teams, the USA must be the most represented country, but there does not have to be an absolute majority, and definitely not the 60 percent. Thus, a UCI women's team can be registered in the United States if out of eight riders, two were American and then there were six riders from six individual countries. Note that the UCI rules say, "majority", but that is not what they really mean, as majority would mean 50 percent.
In addition to the 16-rider maximum, a team may have a maximum of four extra riders who are specialists in other endurance disciplines, such as track (scratch, points race, pursuit, madison), mountain bike (cross-country, marathon), or cyclo-cross, provided that these riders were in the top 150 of the final UCI classification for that discipline in the previous season (top 100 for women's teams). As of August 1, the team can also add two riders in the U23 class, provided these riders have not already been on a UCI team. Lastly, you can add a rider at any time during the season if that rider has not been on any UCI team in the current season.
Every rider on the team must have a contract for a fixed period that ends on December 31. However, for these teams there are no rules regarding what the compensation must be. Whatever it is, it must be spelled out explicitly in the contract. In addition, if a rider is to be paid a salary per the contract, the only method of payment allowed is direct deposit into the rider's bank account, the specifics of which must also be included in the contract.
The United States can register 15 continental teams and women's teams with the UCI.
2. Team Participation
Once a rider is on your team, he can ride in two kinds of races: UCI races anywhere in the world or national races in the United States. Riders on continental teams do not need Foreign Permission Letters to ride abroad.
The UCI rules are very specific. For men's teams, there are no mixed teamsallowed in international races at the elite level. The race director/organizer cannot give an exception to this. USA Cycling cannot give an exception to this. Therefore your riders can only ride an international race in two ways: as a regular member of your team or as a member of a USA Cycling national team when it is participating as such in the race. The latter is only allowed if your continental team is not riding the race. If you have foreign riders on your team, they would be subject to the same rule. For example, if you have a Mexican rider on your team, he may ride an international race as part of the Mexican national team, but only if your continental team is not participating. (For UCI women's teams, there is the possibility of mixed teams in level 2 events (1.2 or 2.2)).
It is important to remember that being on a UCI continental or women's team does not mean you are automatically selected for any particular race. Each UCI event is by invitation only. A UCI race organizer must meet UCI rules when extending invitations to their events, and since these rules include a minimum number of non-American teams, there may not be enough space in certain races for each American team. Depending on the level of race and the location, the organizer will be choosing between UCI ProTeams, UCI professional continental teams, UCI continental teams, national teams, and regional/club teams. Each team must contact the race organizer to secure an invitation. The UCI does have specific rules regarding invitations. For example, for men's elite races with a 0.1 and 0.2 designation in the Americas, race directors must invite the top three continental teams in the UCI continental circuits rankings. For women's world cups, the race directors must invite the 15 best-ranked teams on UCI points.
3. Contracts
Each rider must have a contract that expires on December 31. The contracts must meet the minimum standards given in the model contract. Please note that no provision in the contract is valid if it goes against the basic nature of the year-long contract unless it is in the rider's favor. In other words, you cannot include a provision in the contract that says, "the team may terminate this contract at its discretion for any reason" or "the team may terminate this contract at its discretion of the rider fails to perform up to team standards" or such language. Such a contract would essentially mean there is no contract at all.
Your team may be based in a state known for "at will employment", but a UCI continental team is not an "at will" employer. If you hire a rider, presume it is for the whole year. Our auditor will be carefully checking contracts to make sure they meet the minimum standards and do not contain any "out clauses" that effectively invalidate the nature of a contract. The contracts must even have a statement in them that acknowledges that any statement that differs from the model contract is null and void unless it is in the favor of the rider.
4. Insurance
Part of the registration process will be for the teams to prove that each rider on their team has adequate medical insurance that covers sickness, accidents, and repatriation. The UCI rules also specify civil liability, but a USA Cycling license carries that coverage automatically anyway. As a team you may purchase health insurance for your riders or require them to purchase it. Either way, it will be up to the team to document that such insurance exists. The UCI has provided a form to register your riders and track their insurance. These two insurance forms — riders (UCI annex D.1) and team staff (UCI annex D.2) — must also be submitted to the auditor with the packets.
5. Roster Changes
The UCI has imposed strict limits on how and when team rosters can be changed. The official roster change period is June 1, 2015 to June 25, 2015. Any changes will require a new audit and review process.
In addition to the normal roster changes in this period, there are two other ways your roster can be changed:
- At any time during the season, you can add a rider if that rider meets all criteria and has not had a contract with a UCI team in 2015.
- As of August 1, 2015, you can add two U23 riders to your roster. Note that USA Cycling must submit those names to the UCI BEFORE August 1. These U23 riders cannot have been on another UCI team in the past.
Again, the UCI has a separate roster changes form (UCI annex G1) and a form for adding a stagiaire (U23) (UCI annex G2).
6. Key Dates for Team Registration
OCTOBER 31, 2014 — USA Cycling must submit the list of teams that it intends to register to the UCI. This means that at a minimum, we need to know the name of the team. If we submit a team called Billy Joe's Bike Shop/Raleigh to the UCI by this date, we may be able to register a team by December 10 that is called Billy Joe's Bike Shop/Della Santa. However, if no part of the team name is the same, it may be rejected by the UCI. Therefore you would be well advised to have your primary sponsor lined up before you commit to this process. USA Cycling may submit registration packets to the UCI anytime after this date, assuming your packet is complete and your audit has been finished. Please also note that as a UCI continental team, you may have a maximum of two names in your title, which would be your two primary sponsors. You also cannot have the word "professional" in it.
NOVEMBER 3, 2014 — This is the FINAL DATE applications will be accepted by USA Cycling and our auditor, Waugh Associates. Applications received after this date will not be processed and will not be submitted to the UCI. Auditing Fees are due on this date. Mail packets to Waugh and Goodwin, LLP, 1365 Garden of the Gods Road, Suite 150, Colorado Springs, CO 80907.
NOVEMBER 25, 2014 — You must wire the UCI fee (4,500 euros for men, 2,000 euros for women) to the UCI bank by this date.
DECEMBER 5, 2014 — USA Cycling must submit all completed continental team registration paperwork to the UCI on this date. All other fees to USA Cycling are due on this date.
MARCH 31, 2015 — Bank guarantees from the 2013 season due back to teams will be mailed by USA Cycling on this date.
JUNE 1-25, 2015 — All 2014 UCI roster transactions will take place during this period.
AUGUST 1, 2015 — Addition of U23 riders to roster must be submitted by USA Cycling to the UCI by this date.

In addition to these fees, there is also a bank guarantee of either 20,000 euros or 15 percent of the total salary package of your riders and staff, whichever is greater. If you are a first time team, this bank guarantee will be in the form of a certified check. If you are a returning team, there is a procedure for rolling over your guarantee from last year, as explained in detail in the FAQ.
8. The Registration and Auditing Process
The following are the proper steps for registering a UCI continental team:
1. Familiarize yourself with the UCI regulations regarding continental teams. Your existence as a team is based on these rules, which can be found in their entirety on the UCI website (click rules). The most relevant chapters are also provided for you here as PDFs. They are Chapter 1: General Regulations, Chapter 2: Road Racing, and Chapter 12: Discipline. In addition, you can download these abbreviated rules specific to continental teams.
2. Compile the following for mailing to Waugh & Goodwin, LLP (auditor) by certified mail (must be received by November 3, 2014):
- Two copies of all signed rider/team staff contracts. If you have never done one of these before, the UCI has provided us with a model contract you can use as a guide.
- Completed official UCI registration forms. (UCI annex G)
- Complete rider and staff roster and proof on health insurance for all of your riders, including both insurance forms: riders (UCI annex D.1) and team staff (UCI annex D.2).
- Certified check for $800 to cover auditing services
- Copies of signed sponsor contracts over $5,000
- A complete team operating budget (UCI annex C). For your convenience, the UCI also has provided a model operating budget.
- Auditor Check list
3. Email the following electronic documents to Tom Mahoney at USA Cycling (firstname.lastname@example.com):
- Completed UCI Registration Forms (UCI annex G)
- Completed Rosters With Insurance Forms: Riders (UCI annex D.1) and Team Staff (UCI annex D.2)
- Team Representation Letter to USA Cycling (UCI annex E)
4. Wire the 4,500 euros to the UCI into their euro bank account by the UCI deadline (November 25, 2014):
Bank: UBS SA
Address: Place St-Francois 1, CH-1004 Lausanne, Switzerland
Euro Account: 309288.60L
Beneficiary: Union Cycliste Internationale, CH-1860 Aigle
Note that the wire to the UCI is about 10 days before we have to have the packets to them, so plan accordingly.
5. Waugh & Goodwin, LLP will provide you with a total amount due to USA Cycling to cover your bank guarantee. Mail a check for that amount made out to the name of the entity responsible for your bank guarantee (team name or management company name) to the attention of Tom Mahoney by certified mail (Must be received by December 5, 2014). At the same time, mail a check to USA Cycling for the $4,000 fee.
6. Compile signed International license applications and mail them to USA Cycling attn: Tom Mahoney. (NOTE: Professional licenses CANNOT be purchased online.)
It is assumed that a foreign rider on your team will be living in the USA for more than half the year. Therefore, UCI rules specify that it is USA Cycling that issues their license. This also means they need to have an address in the United States. In the rare case where a foreign rider must retain his international license from his home federation, such a rider will have to purchase, at a minimum, a USA Cycling domestic license. This is so we can adequately track the rider and give the rider's whereabouts to USADA. It also ensures that the rider is covered by adequate civil liability insurance.
7. Waugh continues to review the documents and once they meet all the UCI regulations, they'll send an auditors report to USA Cycling and notify you.
8. If the bank guarantee is in order when the auditors report arrives, USA Cycling will notify the UCI of your team's successful completion of the registration process, and we will submit all paperwork to the UCI. The paperwork is substantial and requires wet signatures. To arrive in Switzerland by December 10, it has to leave Colorado Springs on December 5. Please plan accordingly.
9. When the UCI lists your team on their official roster on the UCI website, the process is complete.
10. When the team is listed on the UCI roster, USA Cycling will process the rider and support staff licenses. Unless you request otherwise, all copies will be mailed directly to the team director.
11. If you make roster changes, the new rider contracts and $125 per rider added must be sent to Waugh and Associates, and the UCI change form (UCI annex G1) must be submitted to USA Cycling.
9. The Bank Guarantee
The UCI has again set the minimum bank guarantee as 20,000 euros or 15 percent of the salary package for the riders and staff, whichever is higher. We have set up a bank in Colorado Springs that will manage the bank guarantees and processes. You will provide USA Cycling with a check for the appropriate amount and it will be deposited in a sub-account dedicated to your team. The bank guarantee should be satisfied by certified check.
The teams will also fill out and sign a bank guarantee agreement with USA Cycling that explains the nature of the bank guarantee and claims process.
If you wish to use your 2014 bank guarantee on file with USA Cycling toward your 2015 team, you may do so after submitting signed copies of the Bank Guarantee Release Letter included here and after paying all fines due the UCI and USA Cycling from 2014 or previous seasons. This letter, if signed by all 2014 riders and team staff, will release the 2014 bank guarantee money for the team's use in 2015. If the bank guarantee on file with USA Cycling is less than the amount due for 2015, the team will then make up the difference. If your team sponsorship has decreased and your guarantee on file is more than what you need this year, and there are no challenges, then the difference will be refunded if you so request.

Lewis Hamilton had no complaints with his Mercedes team after another productive days of testing...
Lewis Hamilton had no complaints with his Mercedes team after another productive days of testing.
Returning to the track on Wednesday for the first day of testing at the Sakhir circuit, Hamilton managed 74 laps despite a minor brake problem.
It was yet another solid showing from Mercedes, who covered the most laps of any team at the opening test in Jerez.
"It's been really impressive just to see everything coming together," Hamilton told Sky Sports F1.
"To be able to come to the test and get the mileage, especially when everyone's shown just how difficult it is with these new regulations.
"Just really proud."
The Brit, though, was quick to insist that Mercedes were also having a few troubles of their own with their new W05 and its 1.6-litre V6 engine.
"It's still a massive challenge for us.
"Whilst it looks like we're doing lots of laps, it's still a massive challenge for us and we're still coming across issues and things that we're finding out about the car.
"It looks like other people are having issues and some perhaps bigger than others."
And although Hamilton finished the day third quickest, 1.028s behind pace-setter Nico Hulkenberg, he says working on reliability is still Mercedes' number one aim.
"In the first test we were trying to get mileage on the car and not really focusing on any of the performance, but we will begin to," the 29-year-old added.
"Today was a test again for the reliability. It's good thing; you want issues to come up because you don't want to have them when the season starts, even though it's kind of a downer if something stops you during the day."
He added: "When I say we didn't get as many laps as we'd like, we know the car can go further. But of course when you take a step away and you look at the whole picture we are at the top of the mileage. So I'm really, really happy with that."

Let me start by saying that I love this tool....it's wy I joined Donation Coder several years ago and I use SC just about every day. I am expereincing a new issue that I hadn't seen before and a search on this forum reveals no hits. I often use the arrow tool to point someting out in a screenshot and when I start typing endpoint text, it is very slow to 'paint' the text into the screenshot.....taking several seconds per character. Any ideas?
Windows XP SP3

My workaround is to type the text in another app, then copy/paste into the endpoint text field in SC.

Comments about Hartmann Packcloth™ Rolling Duffel:
This was a gift for my adult daughter who travels a lot but likes to pack light. Some bags feature multiple pockets and can be too "fussy" but this bag was perfect...extremely spacious yet small enough to be a carry-on.

Comments about Hartmann Packcloth™ Rolling Duffel:
My old duffel was shot. For a new bag, I wanted the duffel features I liked with the ease of wheeled luggage. This bag had both. Plus, it was easy to pack and easy to wheel around. And I love the telescoping handle.

Green Tea Cookies have lots of green tea in the batter. Can you drink them with green tea? Certainly!
Main Nibbles / Cookies, Cakes & Pastry / Cookies
Byrd's Tea Cookies
Unusual Cookies Made With Tea: Green, Oolong, Red & Puer
*Matcha is a fine green tea powder used in Japanese tea ceremony and to flavor and color foods such as green tea ice cream, soba noodles and a desserts such as mochi and wagashi.
†You can eat whole tea leaves: Green are the best, and are very tasty on yogurt and sprinkled in salads. Use them as you would any herb to add flavor accents. We like them on fruit salads and as a garnish on stewed fruits, too.
‡While not technically an herb, which is a plant lacking a permanent woody stem, the tea leaf is used in the manner of both a culinary and a medicinal herb.
All real tea comes from Camellia sinensis, the botanical name for the tea plant, which grows as a shrub or a tree depending on the region. An evergreen, it is a member of the same family as the camellia flower. The many different types of dried tea available for drinking stem from how the tea is processed after the leaves are picked. (Read more about the different types of tea.)
The cookies are made with four of the six categories of tea. Missing are white tea, which is very delicate in flavor, and black tea, the most oxidized, which is similar enough to oolong for the purpose of cookie-baking. Red tea represents the herbal tea category, which is not real tea (i.e., not Camellia sinensis) but an infusion of berries or other fruits, herbs, roots or flowers, all caffeine-free.
Green Tea Cookies.
We really like these cookies, but the concept doesn't go far enough. Let us explain, and offer a solution.
The four teas, which are extremely different when brewed, have a similarity of flavor when mixed dry into dough and baked. The four cookie varieties not only look the same (making it tough to put more than one variety on the same plate), but it would take a palate as acute as wine writer Robert Parker's to distinguish one variety from the other by taste.
The solution would be to add a second ingredient to three of the four varieties—keeping the Green Tea Cookie as is, for example, and adding flavor variety and visual distinctiveness to the others. For example, one could keep the tea theme and the Chinese flavor profile by adding almonds to the Oolong Tea Cookie, toasted sesame seeds to Puer, and dried lychee or another fruit to Red.
We'd also replace the photos of the cookies on the box—which don't show the tea—with more realistic ones. Anecdotally, the beautiful embossed artwork that was commissioned from a Chinese artist may not sell the product as well as it could. Consumers are very visual: a photo of a cookie bursting with chocolate chips will sell better than a plain box labeled "World's Best Chocolate Chip Cookie." People see pictures before they see words.
Along this line, we gave the Puer Tea Cookies (shown in the photo at left) to our physician, who is of Chinese descent, and handed him the box saying that we had just reviewed this very interesting line of cookies imported from China. "Turtle cookies?" he asked.
Point confirmed. There's a reason that specialty food packaging has delicious food photos. We're not trying to tell the manufacturer how to market the product; however, we want someone to be excited when we bring them a gift.
When you'd like to enjoy something distinctively different—and introduce your guests to interesting new flavors—you don't have to wait to serve Asian food. Serve these cookies:
We will admit: These cookies were a controversial item with THE NIBBLE tasting panel. Although all tasters enjoyed Asian cuisine (and two were of Chinese ancestry), the majority of palates were not attuned to the non-traditional flavor of tea baked into cookies. Perhaps the name led them to think of a traditional "tea cookie"—something with notes of butter, vanilla and sugar. It seems that as a final product change, we need to come up with a better name for this product so people can appreciate it for what it is. We're stuck on "tea biscuit." If you come up with something better, please let us know.
The 1-3/4" cookies are individually packaged, a dozen per box, so they'll stay fresh for a long time.

Nina Crawford and T'Reyah Johnson are just freshmen. Neither has played a part in building the Elizabeth Seton High School track and field dynasty, which, prior to Saturday's Washington Catholic Athletic Conference championships at Our Lady of Good Counsel, had won six straight.
But winning that seventh title still "meant the world" to Crawford, and she ran like it did. The freshman sprinting duo swept the top two finishes in the 400 meters, Crawford pocketing gold in 59.03 seconds and Johnson silver in 59.28, scooping up 18 points and busting open what had been a close race in the team standings between the Roadrunners and Bishop McNamara.
"I mean I'm a freshman," Crawford said. "I like to feel like I contributed my part to the Seton legacy."
The Mustangs, perpetually the runner-up to Seton, played second fiddle again, finishing behind Seton for the seventh straight year 199-191, though they certainly were the cause of a few gnawed off fingernails. After Crawford and Johnson went one-two in the 400, Jaela Gay and Cierra Butler did the same for McNamara in the 200, leaving Seton's Ricca Graham seething with her third place finish.
"We'll just get them in the [1,600-relay]," Taylor Tucker said after the race. And they would, winning in 3 minutes, 54.27 seconds to officially claim the team trophy. The ubiquitous Tucker, Seton's hurdling, sprinting and relay running dynamo who was awarded the female MVP and is bound for the University of Maryland next year — "Taylor the Terp" she joked — provided the expected and much needed boost for the Roadrunners in the team standings, winning the 100- and 300-hurdles in 14.93 and 44.19 seconds, respectively, and adding legs on the victorious 1,600-relay and 800-relay (1:41.36).
"We had to win, we had to win," Tucker said. "It was a lot of pressure. We had to win."
And the Roadrunners, despite enduring two long days of championship track meets, weren't quite finished yet. Said Tucker: "Now we get to go to prom."
As was the case with the girls, the entire meet boiled down to the 1,600-relay, and from the opening three legs it looked as if McNamara would run away with it. But DeMatha's Terry Gordon put together a blistering anchor leg and nearly tracked down Marcus Turner in a thrilling final 50 meters. But Turner held on, crossing in 3:28.60, .18 ahead of Gordon and the Stags.
By Turner clinging to that lead, McNamara picked up the two points necessary to tie it up with DeMatha in the team standings 118-118 where it was left, as a tie.
"We're leaving a path for the new freshmen coming in," said David Thompson, a freshman who ran the third leg in the 1,600-relay. "Letting them know we got to keep this legacy going. Underdogs can do anything out here."
While the 1,600-relay was the ultimate decider, McNamara wouldn't have been in the position to match the Stags without a triple (winning three events) from Jordan Martin. The Toledo-bound senior swept the 110-hurdles (14.34), long jump (22-03) and triple jump (43-04.50) to provide the Mustangs with 30 points.
For DeMatha, it was all Darryl Haraway. The sophomore was dubbed the boys MVP after winning the 100 (10.77) by nearly .30 seconds and the 200 (21.88) by half a second and leading the Stags to an easy victory in the 400-relay (43.11).
The Stags' only other top finisher was Kordell Williams in the 300-hurdles (39.04).
The sprinting events in both the boys and the girls had no such parity as the boys overall team standings. McNamara's Gay took home first place in the 100 (12.47) and 200 (25.37) and ran a leg in the winning 400-relay (48.09) while DeMatha's Haraway had a field day on the boys side.
The jumps, per usual, were also owned by the McNamara girls. Christina Solomon, Taylor Dotson, Jaidlin Hill, and Brielyn Rogers combined for two golds, one silver and two bronzes between the high, triple, and long jumps. Solomon won the high jump with a clearance of 5 feet, 4 inches with Dotson taking third (5-02); Hill and Rogers finished second and third in the long jump behind Seton's Javonne Antoine; and Rogers then topped Antoine in the triple (38-06).
The Academy of the Holy Cross girls fashioned a clean sweep of the distance events (800 meters and up). Senior Caroline Clark captured the 800 (2:15.14), sophomore Kiernan Keller took the 1,600 (5:20.29) and 3,200 (11:49.60) while the two teamed up with Julianne Hall and Julia Pitts to pick up the 3,200-relay title as well (9:29.74).
Good Counsel junior Collin Crilly accounted for 26 of Good Counsel's 56 points with his top finish in the 800 (1:58.23) and pair of silvers in the 1,600 (4:23.21) and 3,200 (9:33.97).

Hang tight!
Recipe by MJWAGNER68
"Very tender and flavorful, this recipe is one of our family's favorites. It's great to make ahead of time in the slow cooker and then serve over rice, egg noodles, or chow mein."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 pounds
beef sirloin, cut into 2 inch strips
garlic powder to taste
3 tablespoons
vegetable oil
1 cube
beef bouillon
1/4 cup
hot water
1 tablespoon
1/2 cup
chopped onion
2 large
green bell peppers, roughly chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can
stewed tomatoes, with liquid
3 tablespoons
soy sauce
1 teaspoon
white sugar
1 teaspoon
Absolutely delicous!!! My husband loved it!!!! I did as some others suggested and bought the pre-sliced beef stir fry strips to make it a little quicker. The ony other thing I did was sliced my green peppers into strips instead of chopping them. I would definitely recommend adding the peppers when the dish is almost done though because they get really mushy and if you like crisper peppers I would add them last.
The meat was tender and good but overall, this was very salty! I would suggest leaving out the salt since the boullion provides enough on its own.

Don't be fooled by the name. This is not a traditionally prepared Chinese Pepper Steak but it is very good nonetheless. In addition to seasoning the beef with garlic powder, I added red pepper flakes and fresh minced garlic to the crock pot. Also, I suggest adding the green pepper during the last couple of hours of cooking so that they maintain a crispy texture (I added mine at the beginning and they were very mushy). Finally, I added a tablespoon or so of cornstarch (mixed with cool water) just before serving. This created a wonderful gravy that was perfect over rice.
This recipe was DELICIOUS and sooooo easy to make! My grocery store had pre-sliced "Beef For Stir-Fry" on sale, so I substituted that for the sirloin and it turned out fantastic (it also saved alot of time and effort not having to slice the meat myself)! I followed the recipe exactly and it was done after about 6 hours on low... the meat was super tender and almost falling apart! The sauce was a little bit thinner than I like, so I took another tablespoon of cornstarch and mixed it in a small bowl with a little bit of the sauce, then dumped it back into the crockpot and mixed it up real well. Then I let it cook on low for another 30 minutes and this thickened the sauce up perfectly! I served it over steamed white rice and then served the leftovers the next day with mashed potatoes -- both were YUMMY! My husband and I really loved this recipe and I'll definitely be making it again!
This was easy and delicious! Will definitely be a keeper in my recipe box. I added a couple cloves of chopped garlic and a few dashes or Worcestershire sauce. Like all the other reviews, the peppers were soft, but I love them that way. For crisper peppers, add at the end.
Great recipe. Good change from your typical crock pot recipe with cream of anything soup. Definitely put the peppers in at the end. I will double the sauce next time. The only change I made was I did not add salt. 7/7/08-This is so wonderful I did triple the sauce this time-3 cans of tomatoes and triple bouillon/water mixture. I decreased the soy sauce to 7 TBSP. I did not add any salt. You need to make it.
This is very similiar to a recipe I have been making for years that my kids affectionately call Mommy Slop. As in "what's for dinner? Mommy Slop!" I don't use cornstarch, and use brown sugar instead of white, also I add more onion, soy sauce and worstershire sauce. Then I cook and add the seasonings to taste.
Absolutely delicious! My husband and I along with our 5 year old and 17 month old LOVED it. Very tasty over egg noodles and also rice! Will definitely make it again. But my advice is: 1) Use fresh garlic instead of powder and 2) Don't put green peppers in until the last hour of cooking.

Cycling in Sicily
Information on Sicily
This southern Italian island, the first to be inhabited by the Greeks, boasts a wonderful combination of history, art treasures, and nature. Not only the Greeks, but also the Arabs, the Normans and the Spanish have left their mark on the island. This is clearly visible from the varied architecture, which is what makes this Italian island so special. And the Sicilians are not complaining ? they love all that splendour and grandeur.
The Greeks have left behind more than the other invaders. You will find many Greek structures along the west and south coasts and you can enjoy many excavations.
Exploring Sicily by car will take you on a diverse journey along almond orchards, orange plantations, ancient Greek temples, dilapidated churches, azure blue bays, and stunning cliffs.
If you like tranquillity, then the natural park of Lo Zingaro is well worth a visit! This is situated in the North. Here, you will not only find wonderful wildlife, but also small inlets where you can indulge in some quiet swimming, diving, and snorkling.
Palermo, the capital, is the place to try out the Sicilian cuisine. Sicily actually has two. The Sicilian menu includes a lot of fish and vegetable dishes. A typical dish is ?involtini? - rolled slices of meat with herbs, cheese, or eggs. The Sicilians also love small snacks. You will find many food stalls in the streets with almond biscuits, Arancine di riso (rice balls), and a range of deep fried vegetables. These stalls are often open until way past midnight, so take your time!

|See all NHL tickets
2013 Stanley Cup Playoff Team - New York IslandersIn the end, the New York Islanders may have no one to blame but themselves. While the team has started a #BELIEVE campaign to stoke a thirsty fan base's enthusiasm for their spot in the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Islanders' No. 8 seed earned them a pairing with the Eastern Conference power Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins had high expectations for the 2013 NHL Playoffs before their trades provided them near unprecedented depth; however, the New York Islanders' trouncing of the Penguins at the Consol Energy Center early in the season provided the most evident spark for the Pens that they needed to refocus if they hoped to succeed. The two teams met four more times in the 2013 NHL season, and the Islanders lost all four times. While the young and talented Islanders may have surprised some people by making the 2013 NHL playoffs, that first victory against Pittsburgh made certain that the Pens wouldn't take this Long Island crew lightly ever again.
But this is the second season, and the inexperienced New York Islanders are led by MVP candidate John Tavares and #BELIEVE they can do anything. While the Islanders' recent postseason resume is underwhelming, there was a time when they were a dominant NHL postseason force, with a streak of four straight Stanley Cups ending 30 years ago. Twenty years ago, the Islanders upset the President's Trophy winning Penguins in the first round; no one gave them a chance then, maybe - just maybe - this year's team can do it again. The regular season record and the Stanley Cup Playoffs Game 1 result may not seem to show that, but this series won't be won because of the regular season or deep rosters on paper or one bad game. Goalie Evgeni Nabokov has over 80 games of playoff experience, and this New York Islanders team has front-line talent and a potent power play. The first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs is a race to four games. Are the Islanders fast enough this year, or are they just gaining postseason seasoning for a future Stanley Cup run?
New York Islanders Stanley Cup Playoff Opponent
The New York Islanders are due to move to Brooklyn's Barclays Center in after two more years (beginning 2015-16 season), but for now their home ice remains the confines of the Nassau Coliseum. The Islanders lost both games they hosted versus the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2013 NHL regular season, and they will have to defend their sheet if they hope to get an upset in round one of the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

NHL Playoff Preview - New York Islanders
New York Islanders - Because It's the Cup
Islanders - Penguins Series Preview
3/25/15: It was not that long ago, really just a few weeks, that the Islanders had a chance to win not only the Metropolitan Division, but be the top seed in the Eastern Conference in the playoffs. Unfortunately, the Isles have slumped for the past few weeks, going only 3-5-2 in their last 10 games, and that includes a four game losing streak. Now the team has to watch out or they may be a wild card in the playoffs and probably not have home ice at all in the playoffs. There is some good news, though. Defenseman Nick Leddy is back on the ice after missing four games with an upper body injury.
3/18/15: The New York Islanders will be heading to playoffs, that is a certainty. However, their seeding hopes have taken a hit lately as they lost three games in a row. In the meantime, the New York Rangers are red-hot and are 8-1-1 in their last 10. That one of those losses was to the Rangers is important as the Blue Shirts now have a comfortable lead in the Metropolitan Division with about 10 games left in the regular season. The Islanders will get a good playoff test this week when they host the L.A. Kings on Thursday followed by the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday.
3/11/15: The New York Islanders are peeking over their shoulders at the surging New York Rangers still. The Islanders, who have enjoyed a wonderful season so far and look to make some noise in the playoffs, lead the Rangers in points only. The problem is that the Isles have played three more games than the Blue Shirts, and that could be the difference in the standings by the end of the regular season. The team that finishes first will probably play Boston, Florida or Philadelphia. Second place probably gets the Pittsburgh Penguins, though the Pens could still steal the division as well, which would create a fun New York - New York first round series.
3/4/15: The New York Islanders will be officially punching their ticket to the playoffs soon, that is a near certainty. Meanwhile, the team continues to be one of the best in the NHL in this, their final season at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. They made more team history last Friday in their 2-1 win over visiting Calgary. Goaltender Jaroslav Halak said 26 of 27 shots on goal to earn his 33rd win of the season, the most ever by an Islanders goaltender. That includes an impressive list of Rick DiPietro, Chris Osgood and Billy Smith. The Isles will leave the comfort of Long Island this week with games in Nashville (Thursday), Florida (Saturday) and Toronto (Monday).
2/25/15: The New York Islanders continue to pace the Metropolitan Division, which still comes as a surprise to some. The Isles have been excellent at home at Nassau Coliseum with a 21-8-0 record this season. Ironically, they are getting a huge home-ice advantage in the last season they will be out in Nassau County before moving to Brooklyn. The Isles have owned the Manhattan-based New York Rangers this season, and that is the difference between the two teams in the standings. However, the Rangers have three games in hand and are surging right now, the Islanders are going to have to work to keep on top of the division.
2/18/15: When, oh when, will the NHL step in and break up the New York Islanders? That is a sentenced that has not been uttered in over 30 years, but is kind of true today. The Isles improved to 75 points in the standings with a 6-3 win over the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets last Saturday night. Center John Tavares repeated his All Star Game performance (sort of) with four points (two goals and two assists). That gives him 26 goals and 55 points in 56 games this season. Like the Nashville Predators of the Western Conference, the Isles keep winning and proving that they are for real this season.
2/11/15: For the uninitiated, here is something important to know about hockey players. They are tough. Very, very tough. Take the Islanders Kyle Okposo, for example. He is one of the better players on the team and a big goal scorer. He is going to miss about two month after undergoing surgery to reattach his retina in his eye. Amazingly, he played several games with the injury before ceding to medical attention. One of those games was on January 16th, when he lit up the Pittsburgh Penguins for four goals. He scored another goal and assist the next day. Losing him for two months may haunt the Isles, but they are still well within the comfort zone of making the playoffs.
2/5/15: The Islanders may always be considered the 'second team' in New York, but they are the ones at the top of the Metropolitan standings - looking down at the more established (and reigning Eastern Conference champion New York Rangers). So it is probably time to give the Isles their due. If the standings are not enough to convince, then consider this: John Tavares tied the record for most goals in an All Star Game with four markers. He joined some pretty good company in the record books as well: Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Vincent Damphousse, Mike Garner and Dany Heatley.
1/28/15: It should be high time the New York Islanders get some credit. With the season more than halfway complete, the Islanders entered the All Star break leading the Metropolitan Division with a 31-14-1 record, good for 63 points. That has them three points clear of Pittsburgh and six points up on the New York Rangers. The Islanders are an impressive 7-3 in their last ten and are at the top of the NHL in goal differential at +22. The Islanders host Boston on Thursday, are at Detroit on Saturday and return home to host the Florida Panthers next Tuesday.
1/21/15: OK, national media, it is time to start giving the New York Islanders the respect they deserve this season. The 2014-15 campaign is more than half over and the Islanders are on top of the Metropolitan Division, though they are battling it out with the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals. But they are not a fluke. In the Battle of New York, they blanked the New York Rangers, who were coming off of a very successful West Coast trip, 3-0. The Islanders will get a great test on Thursday night when they host the Boston Bruins and their new star, rookie David Pasternak.
1/14/15: My how times have changed. It was not that many years ago the New Jersey Devils would be at the top of the standings and the New York Islanders would be buried somewhere near the bottom. Not this year. The Islanders are in first place in the Metropolitan Division, though they are constantly battling the Pittsburgh Penguins for supremacy. The Devils, meanwhile, are third to last in the Eastern Conference and have almost no chance to make the playoffs. Back to the Penguins, though. The Islanders host Pittsburgh on Friday, which would give them a chance to get a little separation.
1/7/15: The NHL season is almost at its midway point and the New York Islanders are pushing for the Metropolitan Division title. Through the end of the 2014 calendar year, the Isles were tied with the mighty Pittsburgh Penguins for the best record in the division, and they have some breathing room over the third and fourth place teams (Washington and New York Rangers). It is their final season in Nassau Coliseum and the Islanders are giving the fans a show with a terrific 14-4 home record. But they are way from the friendly comforts of home and are midway through a long road trip. At least they are getting closer to home with games at New Jersey on Friday and Columbus on Saturday.
12/3/14: Hopefully, there is some help on the way for the struggling Carolina Hurricanes. And they need it. The Hurricanes have only scraped together seven wins on the season and are 3-7 in their last 10 games. Fortunately, injured center Jordan Staal is out of his cast and should be starting off-ice workouts soon. He was expected to miss three to four months with a broken fibula and is not ready to get back on the ice next week. But this is a good sign and he seems to be ahead of schedule. In the meantime, the Hurricanes host Washington, Detroit and New Jersey this week.
11/12/14: We are getting a better idea of what type of team the Islanders are now. The conclusion - this is a pretty good team that has an excellent chance of making the playoffs. The Isles just completed a grueling five game western road trip, playing against Colorado, San Jose, Anaheim, Los Angeles and Arizona over 10 days. They came out of it with a 3-2 record against some of the best teams in the Western Conference. They are 9-5-0 on the season and in second place in the Metropolitan Division. That is a pretty impressive resume for the early going of the schedule.
11/19/14: The Islanders really heated up of late. After a successful West Coast road trip, they continue to play well. They earned their fifth consecutive win against the Florida Panthers last week. They let a late lead slip away, but ended up winning in a shootout, 4-3. The winning streak has pushed the Isles into second place in the Metropolitan Division with 22 points, just one point behind the Pittsburgh Penguins. Speaking of the Pens, the Islanders have a home and home with them on Friday (Pittsburgh) and Saturday (New York) before hosting the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday.
11/5/14: The Islanders are off to a good start this season and finished the 10 game mark with a respectable 6-4 record. That put them one point in the standings behind the first place Pittsburgh Penguins in the Metropolitan Division. The Islanders figure to be a wildly exciting team to watch this season. They are averaging a healthy 3.5 goals per game, of course they are giving up 3.6 goals per game. So basically, they have a strong offense and a weak defense. Get ready for more high scoring games, which may not always lead to wins, but leads to entertainment and interest.
10/29/14: The Islanders 4-2 start to the season, which put them at the top of the Metropolitan Division with the Washington Capitals and New York Rangers, may be a surprise to some. But it is not a surprise to those that follow the NHL closely. The Islanders have been a team on the rise for a while. What is more impressive than the season start is that they have done it shorthanded. Defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky played in exactly zero of those games, and he is a defensive force. We'll see how good the Islanders are this week with a west coast road trip that includes Colorado and San Jose.
10/22/14: Like the Yankees, Giants and Nicks, the Rangers are considered the premiere New York team for their sport. That generally does not sit well with die-hard Islander fans, though the Isles have had little to show for their efforts over the past few years. However, that may be changing. True, the Rangers did make the Stanley Cup Finals last season, but it is the Isles that are making waves so far this season. They started out on a hot streak with four straight wins and look like a team that is about to make 'the leap'. There are still six more months of the regular season, but do not be surprised if the Islanders are near the top of the standings come playoff time.
10/15/14: The Islanders, who have not been a very good team for a long time, made a lot of waves with their progression last season, and now are looking to make the leap to contender. They showed off their new look last Friday with a 5-3 victory on the road against the Carolina Panthers. They got good returns from newly acquired Mikhail Grabovki, who had a goal, as well as newly acquired Nick Leddy, and newly acquired defenseman Johnny Boychuck who also scored. This week will be telling as the Isles host San Jose, travel to Pittsburgh and then host the Maple Leafs.
