The New London voters have spoken, at least the roughly 19 percent who bothered to come to the polls Tuesday, rejecting the proposed $42.3 million general government budget and accompanying 27.22-mill tax rate, a 7.5 percent increase. The outcome was definitive on both questions, roughly 60 percent to 40 percent. (The council flat funded the $39.8 million education budget, which did not go to referendum.)
It now appears Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio and City Council President Michael Passero are prepared to act expeditiously to trim the budget and reduce the proposed tax increase to 5 percent. If they do, perhaps taxpayers will be satisfied and the amended budget ordinance will stand. It will require finding some combination of $1.265 million in cuts, savings and additional revenues.
In a spirit of cooperation the mayor and council president pirouetted around a potential City Charter controversy.
Mr. Passero has insisted it is up to the council to amend the budget ordinance and send it back to the mayor for his signature or veto. He plans to begin the process today with a goal to wrap it up by Oct. 1.
Conversely, Mayor Finizio has said it is up to the mayor to propose changes to the budget and send it to the council for review and amending.
To avoid a skirmish, Mayor Finizio will send the budget back to the council Monday relatively unchanged. He will only remove about $300,000 the city had expected to spend when taking over finance operations for the school system. The special master assigned to monitor efforts to improve city schools has nixed the plan as premature.
With the budget technically resubmitted, the mayor appears ready to let the council take the lead.
This plan forward is good news because the city did not need to waste time with a needless political argument about the process.
The mayor and council president are also in agreement with the city's director of law, Jeffrey T. Londregan, that three months into the fiscal year there is no need to go through every step of the budget preparation process, with hearings, reviews and revisions, as is required before the fiscal year.
If the process were to drag, the city could quickly confront a charter restriction that caps spending of city departments at no more than 25 percent of the prior year's budget while awaiting for an appropriation ordinance to become effective. The last time a budget debate dragged this far into a fiscal year was 2007. Back then the city blew through the 25 percent stop sign. When, in October of that year, voters attempted to petition to referendum the budget the council had approved, the law director invalidated it because the city had exceeded the spending cap. Taxpayers were rightfully angry and they will be again if the current administration likewise ignores the provision.
As for the budget itself, beware of easy fixes. Speaking Wednesday, Mayor Finizio and Mr. Passero talked of finding savings with interest rate reductions through refinancing debt and from the savings in not taking over school finance operations this year.
City Councilor Adam Sprecace has also raised the prospect of finding new revenues. Since calculating rosy revenue projections is the very approach that got the city into this fiscal mess to begin with, any proposed tax-rate cut that does not involve genuine spending cuts needs to be viewed with skepticism. The mayor vowed to block any funny business. He should be held to that.
However this turns out, New London will be operating with a very tight budget and no surplus to fall back on. Any unexpected expenses or drops in revenue could bring more painful cuts to come.

Animals Plus Christmas Decorations Equals Disaster [VIDEO]
Thank goodness we only have our house decorated for the Holidays once a year because right out of the gate we have had some close calls with our pets destroying some of the decorations.
Thank goodness we only have our house decorated for the Holidays once a year because right out of the gate we have had some close calls with our pets destroying some of the decorations.
Every holiday season, musicians and celebrities try their hand at re-creating classic Christmas songs. More often than not, they are marginal at best. Rapper DMX tried his hand at renewing the classic, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", and the results were amazing.
We look forward to the holidays as a time we can get together with family to celebrate. However, for thousands of servicemen and women and their families, don't have the same luxury. If you'd like to thank a military family or service member, you can send a card to veterans, military families and active-duty service members. The Red Cross delivers them to hospitals and bases around the world.
When you hear a story about a landlord, it's usually an angry tale concerning neglect or some kind of funny business with a security deposit. Instead, this holiday season we present a tale that will make any heart grow three sizes.
Not in the Christmas spirit yet? Then you should make plans to check out the Annual Community Tree lighting in Superior's City Center Park tonight...
Our favorite little media spotlight moth, Kim Kardashian, has posted five insightful tips for getting back on the diet track after Thanksgiving indulgences. And by "insightful" we mean "any dolt would know them."
There is no denying that Mariah Carey's 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' is a new holiday standard. Nicki Minaj's nemesis even redid the song with Justin Bieber, proving its got legs longer than Mimi's! She performed the song, in a sexy little Santa outfit, in Rockefeller Center in New York City last night (Nov. 27.) The performance was taped for a special that airs tonight. Can't wait? Then watch it here.
We've all heard the Twelve Days of Christmas song, many of us fond of the Muppets version of the familiar carol. If someone actually wanted to buy the whole list of items in the song, how much would it cost?
Black Friday has been traditionally when big retailers like Target or Best Buy get attention for insane crowds and amazing sales and often lost in the craziness of all that is the small, local store owned and operated by people right here in the Twin Ports, that's why a new trend is starting to get a lot of attention, Small Business Saturday, a day dedicated to supporting them during the Christmas shopping season, and that's just what my family did.
He's Jake on 'Two and a Half Men.' And he's pleading with YOU to stop watching the show that has made him a very rich 19 year old. Even after earning $350,000 an episode, he's now speaking out against the show in this video just uploaded to Youtube today.
While the days of physical discs for music and movies are slowly going away, Facebook has decided to make it easier to offer the gift of a digital album, movie, or game to anyone on your shopping list if you also happen to be friends on the social network.
The MIX 108 on-air staff hit the road to find some of the best gifts at Twin Ports stores, they've picked their favorite products and are sharing them with you. Hap...

hotel description
The Destination
Between the Strip's neon lights and The Forum's delightful shopping, Las Vegas has earned its reputation as an adults-only playground. Here, hours take a backseat to all-night slot sessions and minutes vanish beneath a fountain of free-flowing drinks. More than 36 million visitors flock to Sin City annually, but the Nevada destination offers more than just never-ending buffets and roulette. In recent years, the city has morphed into a culinary hot spot, with celebrity chefs dishing out exquisite gourmet fare that offers a more modern taste of what Vegas is all about.
The Digs
Away from the neon lights and chaos of the Strip sits Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa, a AAA Four Diamond property that offers all the best of Las Vegas—a Zen-inspired spa, pool beds and cabanas, award-winning dining, and a casino—but it boasts a sleek, non-flashy atmosphere and views of the Spring Mountains. Its proximity to Red Rock Canyon is reflected in the open-air casino and activities offered at the Adventure Spa: mountain biking, horseback riding, and hiking.
"In the lobby, stacked sandstone brick evokes the aesthetic of the canyon while chandeliers dripping with more than three million crystals reference the glitzy city itself," says Travel + Leisure. Upstairs, Deluxe Rooms are outfitted in dark wood with pops of jungle green and offer deep soaking tubs and TVs in the bathrooms.
The Diversions
At Red Rock, entertainment includes bars and nightclubs, a movie theater, live music in Rocks Lounge, and bowling at Red Rock Lanes. And, of course, the world-class casino floor boasts more than 3,000 of the latest casino slots and video poker games; table games including blackjack, baccarat, craps, and roulette; a 24-hour poker room; and two high-limit areas.
For dining options, guests can go double or nothing at the hotel's generous Feast Buffet. There's virtually no limit to this high-stakes breakfast that offers golden-brown French toast, fruit-smothered pancakes, fluffy made-to-order omelets, and more. In addition to three fine-dining restaurants—Hachi, T-bones, and Terra Rossa—casual eateries include Lucille's Smokehouse Bar-B-Que, Yard House, and Grand Cafe, which is open 24/7 and has more than 100 menu items.
"Don't miss the intimate spa," Travel + Leisure says—and we agree it's worth the splurge for a true taste of the Vegas VIP treatment.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 8
Soy & O's
Posted By: DV
I used to make myself protein soy shakes as well as drink soy milk to avoid dairy, but in all honesty... not only do I not miss it after being off that for a while, I do recall that while I was ingesting large quantities of soy (I'd heard it's good for female hormonal function), I wasn't doing all that great. Lots of mucus & some bloating.

NEW YORK, March 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Children's Health Fund (CHF) strongly supports the health reform package passed by the House and applauds Congress for its steadfast commitment to this momentous effort. We believe that access to health care for all is a fundamental right, especially for children. The action taken shows an unprecedented effort to make real and positive change for the health and well-being of all children in this country. CHF thanks House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for her ongoing leadership in the passing of health reform and her commitment to making children's needs a priority.
Throughout 2009 and 2010, CHF leadership, doctors and advocates have worked to support this historic passage of legislation that will mandate universal health insurance coverage for all children. The legislation passed includes a number of important and laudable provisions for children that are a huge first step in securing universal access to health care for all kids across this nation. As a champion of the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), we are particularly pleased that under this bill the successful program will continue until 2019 and funded through 2015. Once this health reform package is signed into law, CHF will continue to work with The Administration and Congress going forward to address remaining obstacles to children gaining full access to comprehensive health care.
We encourage Senator '/>"/>

As art fairs boom and galleries struggle, is there hope for artists (and the art geeks who love them)?
But gathering together seems to present its own risks, too. Superstorm Sandy served an ominous warning about the geographic and physical contingency of the architectures where art is both sold and guarded. This year we witnessed the mass wipeout of both artworks and small galleries caused by a single (albeit badass) storm, literally swamping the world's highest concentration of art dealers and contemporary artworks in the hemisphere's most important art neighborhood. Many of those galleries and artworks will not resurface. For every one David Zwirner, with his stable of well-insured, blue chip artworks, there are a dozen small galleries each with emerging artists who just lost entire seasons of work and rent.
And I can't not mention the January suicide of Mike Kelley, a hero to me and most artists I know. His death was a somber reminder that the art world is still inhabited by, and is shelter for, troubled hearts who sometimes can't outrun their own demons, no matter how successful or beloved they become.
Yet there's hope too. I saw some great shows this year, in museums, in galleries and, yes, at Burning Man, where Matthew Schultz' breathtaking Pier 2, a 250-foot, full-size pier complete with shipwrecked Spanish galleon, hit the perfect note of surreality and absolute joy. Both the Jean Paul Gaultier show at the de Young and Cindy Sherman show at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art reminded us that institutions can dazzle when they set their minds to it, and Ben Kinmont at SFMOMA demonstrated that even if you're stuffed into the mezzanine reading room, you can still pack a conceptual wallop. I also loved Mark Benson's show at Ever Gold, Liam Everett at Altman Siegel, and Brent Green at Steven Wolf, to name just a few.
Where art making intersects the public there were bright spots, too. I mean, sure it's a publicity gimmick that's in practice all over the country, but somehow Oakland Art Murmur became a thing this year, an authentically energetic collection point that now draws thousands of people to Uptown Oakland each month. And tech continues to make inroads into the decidedly old school art machine: Kickstarter, Indiegogo, Paddle8, Art.sy, and a slew of other web tools made following, researching, and funding creative projects more democratically accessible. Indeed, I'm increasingly hopeful that from tech somewhere we'll see an antidote to the increasingly oligarchical practices that sustain the current art market. *

I know that Serial.print adds bytes to serial buffer, so i tried to clear the buffer at the end of the loop like this
Without knowing what you entered, and seeing more of the Pi's output, all I can say is that the delays are useless, as is discarding serial data.
Why are you sending data TO the Arduino?
Hi, I tried your first script on a Mac with the standard USB connection and had different results. No endless loop (good), but on the other hand most characters sent by the Arduino were received by the python script, and only a few by the serial monitor (the two sets were complementary). If only the serial monitor or the python script are open the behavior is normal.
So I would say there was nothing wrong in your first attempt, and you should probably concentrate on configuration settings. Did you follow the other instructions given in the link (changes in inittab and console settings, connecting the ground)? I also wonder what are your results if you run only the serial monitor or the python script.
pi(TX) >-------▶|-----|----[1k ohm]-------[ground] | |-----> ar(RX)
In the above example I entered "a" in python script and then it prints "Arduino: RX: a 97" but then arduino also thinks that string "RX: a 97" was sent to him over serial, since that is what he printed to serial. And the loop begins with python telling me "Arduino: RX: R 82", "Arduino: RX: X 88" and so on.
What the Arduino sent TO the serial port, and what it reads FROM the serial port are two different things. If the Arduino is seeing what it wrote to the serial port, the fault is on the Pi end.
I changed the wiring just a little and only the raspberry pi to arduino part. So instead of transistor I used diode, for that small protection.to:Code: [Select]pi(TX) >-------?|-----|----[1k ohm]-------[ground] | |-----> ar(RX)With this circuit it works as it should, no magic loops. So the initial problem solved. However, I'm not completely sure what actually changed, why wouldn't it work properly with transistor and how should I fix it? If I change resistors or voltage in the circuit with transistor, it works even less, or am I missing something. One question answered two new appear Thank you
pi(TX) >-------?|-----|----[1k ohm]-------[ground] | |-----> ar(RX)
I have connected raspberry pi with arduino over serial RX/TX (UART) like this http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=22736

Chlorophyl Clothes YKTTW Discussion
|Chlorophyl Clothes
Dressing in living plants.Better Name
Please vote for the name in this crowner.You have got to respect anyone who can combine gardening and fashion into a single discipline. Basically, they can turn still living plants into un-wilting clothes that can take on the wear and tear of everyday life without dying or breaking. Often, this is because plant magic is involved, or obscenely advanced genetic engineering is used. A Plant Person usually straddles the line between both of these justifications. Failing that, enough money can makes this a viable wardrobe option for those willing to burn through their greens. That said, Clorophyl Clothes aren't always as glamorous and gorgeous as the page picture. For instance, the Nature Hero may make a slipshod loincloth out of grubby leaves and vines, and monsters such as trolls may be covered in modesty moss. This trope is almost Always Female with only rare male exceptions like Peter Pan. It may be because women are Closer to Earth, and dressing them in plants is an easy way to make Mother Nature / Nature Spirit / Dryad /Fairy connotations. Then again, this trope is also a good excuse for Fanservice-y Costume Porn, regardless of gender. Sub-Trope of Improvised Clothes. See also Petal Power.
Examples:Anime and Manga
- The 'Wood' Clow Card Spirit in Cardcaptor Sakura is dressed in leaves.
- Batman villainess Poison Ivy is fond of wearing a part or full leaf based costume.
- Tinkerbell and the Disney Fairies all wear flower or leaf based clothes.
- The Bible: After eating the forbidden fruit, Adam and Eve attempted to cover their nakedness through garments made of fig leaves. God later provided animal skins for them to wear.
- Rhia of The Lost Years of Merlin is described to be wearing clothes made of vines.
- In the book Ivy And The Meanstalk, Princess Ivy is brought to her friend's wedding wearing a cumbersome dress made entirely of live flowers, which hurts to walk in and attracts a lot of insects. The bride specifically chose it for her.
- Trolls in Discworld'' often have living lichens growing on their stony bodies, and fashion-conscious females sometimes cultivate the more-attractive varieties deliberately.
- Dryads in The Chronicles of Narnia are often described as wearing clothes that are made of the leaves and bark of the trees they come from.
- In early Dungeons & Dragons material the halfling nature deity Sheela Peryroyl is dressed in wildflowers.
- Magic: The Gathering has several Dryads dress this way. Special mention goes to Rushwood Dryad and Shanodin Dryads, the latter of whom combines it Petal Power into a floating cloud of foliage.
- In the tabletop role-playing game Brave New World, the Jungler archetype (whose power set involves controlling plants) is depicted as being dressed in leaves.
- Being a classic Plant Person, Zyra◊ from League of Legends is an example.
- Also, Morgana's Blackthorn Morgana skin.◊
- The Sylvari in Guild Wars 2 are sentient human-like plants. All of their buildings and racial specific equipment is made of leaves, wood, and flowers. The clothes do come separate though, as other races can equip Sylvari produced weaponry and clothing.
- Warcraft III and World of Warcraft dryads have the lower body of deer, but their upper halves usually wear leafy looking bras.
- Terraria has another Dryad example.
- The Petalars in Thundercats 2011 dress like this, though it may actually be part of their body, being plant people.
- An artist called Rene Walker Soloman makes grass suits, but with grass seed and adhesive and water and an old suit instead of advanced technology, magic, or the patience of a saint.

Michael Frazier dialed in as Gators ready for showdown with Huskies
Apr 4, 2014 at 9:15p ET
ARLINGTON, Texas -- The event is called Final Four Salute and Thursday night it brought together each of the teams participating in college basketball's grand spectacle this weekend in North Texas. Players, coaches and support staff from Florida, Connecticut, Wisconsin and Kentucky all gathered at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in downtown Dallas for some fun and a dinner reception, featuring a cameo by former President George W. Bush.
Players were granted access to "Bracket Town," an interactive park built on site especially for the Final Four that features simulated snow-skiing and golf, a baseball batting cage and soccer goal. There was even a fencing exhibition, where several Gators donned the appropriate (and padded) gear and clashed foils.
But one station, more than any other, caught the eye of Michael Frazier II.
A basketball court and goal.
The UF guard picked up a ball and began taking rhythm 3-point shots -- and exactly no one was surprised.
"I couldn't help myself," Frazier smiled. "I wasn't interested in playing any of those other games. I wanted to shoot."
Anyone surprised?
In the run-up to the weekend, the focus on the Final Four rematch between the top-ranked Gators (36-2) and 18th-ranked Connecticut Huskies has locked in the backcourt matchup between UF's Scottie Wilbekin and UConn's Shabazz Napier. Rightfully, so. Napier was voted first-team All-American earlier this week and his buzzer-beating jumper to defeat Florida on Dec. 2 remains the last time the Gators lost a game. Wilbekin, one of the best on-ball perimeter defenders in the country, missed the final three minutes of that nailbiter, due to a sprained ankle.
Their head-to-head battle will be something to see.
But if the Gators are to beat the Huskies, Wilbekin's wing man in the UF backcourt figures prominently. That, of course, is Frazier, the 6-foot-4, 199-pound sniper from the 3-point line. When the Gators are at their very best -- and to win it all, they'll need to be against this Final Four field -- it's because they're playing the fearsome defense that has defined their season, moving the ball in the offensive halfcourt and with Frazier hurling daggers from deep.
"We need to know where he is," Huskies guard Ryan Boatright said. "And I mean all the time."
Frazier is shooting 44.8 percent from the 3-point line for the season and 48.8 in the postseason. His 2013-14 season is filled with timely 3-point baskets, oftentimes in flurries (like at South Carolina last month or against UCLA in the Sweet 16 last weekend), and sometimes when teams have managed to contain him and the Gators needed a big shot the most (like against Missouri or at both Tennessee and Kentucky).
"I've been around a lot of great shooters," UF assistant coach Matt McCall said, reeling off a list that included Matt Bonner, Lee Humphrey, Brett Nelson, Anthony Roberson and Matt Walsh. "But I've never been around someone who works on his craft like Mike does. There's a reason why opposing coaches cringe when the ball leaves his hand."
That's exactly what UCLA coach Steve Alford did last week in Memphis, Tenn., watching Frazier bomb four treys in the first half on his way to breaking Humphrey's record for single-season 3-point field goals. That number now stands at 117 (four more than Humphrey made in both 2006 and '07) and figures to go up.
"That stuff doesn't really mean anything to me," Frazier said. "I just want to help my team win."
Fine. And the Gators want Frazier to shoot 3s whenever he's open.
"He does himself and our team a disservice when he doesn't take advantage of an open look," senior center Patric Young said. "Even if he's missed three, four, five in a row we need him shooting the ball with confidence because we know what's eventually is going to happen."
Frazier's marksmanship is no accident. Nor is his passion to hone it.
The routine Frazier puts himself through is frighteningly thorough: 20 makes from seven different spots around the arc, then back again.
All told: 280 makes.
Not attempts. Makes.
"That's nothing," said Frazier, the sophomore from Tampa by way of Montverde (Fla.) Academy. "I remember shooting until I got black blood blisters on my fingers and my shoulder would be on fire. My mom would have to rub my shoulders, because they'd be so tense from shooting the ball."
Now he has the UF training staff to do that, and managers to rebound his seldom misses during his workouts.
There are days when Frazier puts himself through double shooting sessions; sometimes early in the morning, sometimes late at night. Woven into his routine are mini-mind games. Like making five in a row before he misses two in a row or else he starts over from that spot; or eight of the next 10 (maybe 12 of 15) have to go in or else he starts over.
Some makes don't even count.
"Only if they're pure," team manager Brandon Gilbert said. "And if it's a bad spot, like he goes 20 out of 26, that's not good enough. He's starting over."
Gilbert once watched Frazier make all 20 at one spot, all 20 at the next, "and the first seven or eight at the next one."
Then he missed three straight ... and was incensed.
The Gators like to say they're "chasing greatness." Frazier often cites the motto, but more importantly he lives it daily.
The look in his eye during Friday's shootaround inside the vast AT&T Stadium, where 85,000 tickets have been sold, was of a young man completely locked in on the task at hand and oblivious to whatever depth perception questions were being tossed his way.
"The court's the same," Frazier said. "The 3-point line doesn't change."
"I'm not worried about him right now," Gators coach Billy Donovan said, as he watched Frazier launch away. "He's locked in."
Consider also that Frazier totally bought in to the so-called "process" the Gators constantly talk about. The "process" is an organic state of being, inside which exist everyone and everything associated with the UF basketball program. Everything that's happened throughout the "process" -- the struggles, the triumphs -- has delivered the Gators to this point in time; the very place Donovan, the UF seniors, Frazier and the rest all vowed to be at the start of the season.
Rewind to mid-February. Frazier suffered a slightly sprained wrist in a comeback home win against Auburn; in which he hit a clutch 3-pointer in the final minute to stake the Gators to their first lead since early on.
Two nights later, the team flew to Mississippi on a Friday night for a date with Ole Miss set to begin at 11 a.m. local time. Because of the early start, the Gators went from the airport to Tad Smith Coliseum for a shootaround. Frazier's wrist was bothering him and he stayed after practice to get extra shots up.
He was far more off the mark than on.
Frazier was so frustrated, the coaches ordered him to shut it down for the night and sent him to locker room. While there, he both seethed and fretted to the point his teammates had to console him. Frazier thought he would hurt his team the next day against bombs-away Marshall Henderson and the Rebels.
Donovan, though, had no sympathy for the kid. Instead, he challenged Frazier to find his confidence by whatever means necessary before tip-off about 14 hours later.
Frazier, along with McCall and two managers, was back at the arena at 6:30 the next morning.
His 280 makes came with 83-percent accuracy, they say.
"I remember asking him on the bus back to the hotel, 'Do you think Marshall Henderson, who's got us totally paranoid, could make 83 percent of his 3-point shots?' I mean, Some of the best NBA guys aren't doing that," McCall said. "I just told him that he needed to shoot with an attitude where they'd better not even give him the slightest crack of an opening, 'cause it was going up. That's what we want."
Frazier went 5-for-10 later that day in a 75-71 victory. He's gone 45-for-89 since. That's 50.1 percent, including a sicko night at South Carolina when he set a Southeastern Conference record for 3-pointers in a league game with 11 (on 18 attempts) on his way to a career-high 37 points.
Late in that game, while Frazier was hitting six treys in the second half and the Gamecocks were making just five field goals, USC was hit with a technical foul when a fan threw a white towel on the floor after Frazier's 10th bomb of the night.
As in surrender.
"Sometimes, you just get in a zone," he said.
And sometimes, you go out and bust a zone or two. The Gators hope the next one belongs to the Huskies.
It's the Final Four, but there's no time for games. Michael Frazier has basketball to play.

Hey, apologize for the lack of bloggings (is that a word?) lately. Had my hands full with the paint horse, Got Country Grip. Too bad he was denied that 17th straight win. Remington Park was absolutely deflated after he lost. But what a success with more than 12,000 people showing up.
Anyway, let's get back to the courts. After watching McGuinness wax the field at the Heritage Hall Tournament of Champions, I was still hesitant to say anything.
I wanted to wait until that showdown with Tulsa Kelley. Well, the "showdown" has come and gone with the Irish dominating the Comets. The two were on the opposite side of the draws for every spot at the Cascia Hall Tournament on Saturday.
The results: Peta Lancaster, McG, def. Andrea Lewis, TK, 7-5, 6-2. No. 2 singles: Katelyn Connelly, McG, def. Abby Lewis, TK, 6-2, 6-1. No. 1 doubles: Ritchie/Lancaster, McG, won 6-2, 6-3. No. 2 doubles: Conrad/Chiaf won 6-0, 6-1.
So now I'm going to say it…could the McGuinness girls team defeat every boys team in the state?? At first, this was pure tomfoolery. I didn't really believe it.
But now, hmm, I'm not so sure. If I could piece together the ultimate dream team for the boys, I'd give the boys the edge. If I had people like Tulsa Union's Eric West and Omar Aly of Jenks as my singles players. Add in the Copeland brothers from Shawnee as a doubles tandem, throw in singles stars Duncan Fugitt of Edmond Memorial and Travis Fillmore of Tahlequah and piece them as a doubles team. That's a pretty formidable crew.
Am I nuts?? Or are the Irish just that good?? I mean, seriously, Whitney Ritchie and Mia Lancaster placed in the top 16 at a national junior tournament last week. Not regional, national. What say you??

A vote to boat
Couple moved from two Florida homes before they found the right place on the water
They come from Oconomowoc, Wis., not Missouri, but Mary and Harvey
Paulin said, "Show me," when they saw an ad for Miromar Lakes in this
newspaper's Sunday Real Estate section.
"We just couldn't believe there'd be a beach and boating and
water-skiing on the lake," Harvey recalled. "But much to our surprise
it was all true."
The chance to have a boat in their back yard must have been a powerful
lure for the couple, since they'd just put the finishing touches on
a North Naples home. But the thought of cruising on the
community's two large lakes and entertaining their three grandchildren
on the water was irresistible. So move they did, to a two-story home
they built on a 13-lot, bridge-connected island.
"We checked out the eligible builders and decided on Harborside Homes
for two reasons," Harvey explained. "We visited their models and liked
what we saw. Then we contacted their references and asked whether they' d use the same builder if they built another home. We've built three
homes, and although we heard 'no' from a lot of people on other
occasions, Harborside's clients said 'yes.'"
The Paulins are not afraid of doing research. Mary did plenty to gather
ideas for the floor plan and furnishings.
"I like to use the Internet, and I like to go through magazines to get
ideas," she stated.
An architect made reality of their construction ideas, and Deborah
Kreye, of Vogue Interiors, Bonita Springs, helped them transform their
decorative vision into the dramatic, but practical decor that defines
the four-bedroom, four-and-a-half bath floor plan.
Don't think all those bathrooms got short shrift, either. The powder
bath is an eye-popping combination of artful tiles, a painted "stained"
glass window and handsome vessel sink.
"The master bath walls have been painted in a striated pattern in tones
of deep paprika and pumpkin," Kreye explained. "Then they were finished with
a stenciled, raised and textured flourish design."
The rare, red Damascus marble is a snazzy companion to a custom-etched panel that
divides the tub and shower.
The bath off the office and lanai has a bamboo floor and cane-faced
cherry cabinets. It was particularly important that the office/pool
bath be visually pleasing, since the Paulins consider their office a
major living space in their home.
Although they are retired from the industrial engine distributorship
they owned and operated, both spend significant time at their
computers. They each have their own work stations, his with a pool and
lake view and hers with a courtyard view.
The fountain in the front of the home and the statue in the courtyard
are Italian imports purchased locally to contribute to the home's
Mediterranean theme. The wall fountain sculpture in the courtyard can
be seen from the kitchen window, a space that couple kept open to their
great room and equipped with a number of design elements.
There are radiating Spanish cedar beams on the ceiling and columns on
the counter. Mary said she enjoys cooking for her family, but Harvey
specializes in outdoor grilling, using a summer kitchen decorated by
Kreye with a stone lattice backsplash.
"We decided to forego a casual dining space, since we have a breakfast
bar and a table on the lanai," Mary reported. "In its place, we
preferred a bar for entertaining."
That circular maple bar, finished with a caramel glaze, often holds a
selection from the 350-bottle wine cellar the Paulins built on the
opposite side of the kitchen.
It's a quick trip from the living room bar to the dining room, where
painted faux stone borders the niche and intensifies the Tuscan mood.
"The inlaid, burled wood table we chose is so long, that it made sense
to have two chandeliers," Mary pointed out. "We selected two that were
in the same family as the tortoise shell lights in the foyer and on the
That staircase was another result of the preconstruction research. Mary
saw a turret feature on a home in a magazine. It turned out to be the
perfect housing for the spiral staircase.
High ceilings — 26 feet in the foyer — dominate the main part of this
home. In the foyer, they are tamed by faux-painted niches and the
dramatic pendulum light fixture. In the living room, they are
complemented by the custom-designed entertainment center and the
commissioned painting above it.
"I chose the silver tiger on the entertainment center in Mexico,"
Harvey said proudly. "Mary was doubtful about it at first, but we got
Deborah's O.K., so we had it sent."
He's also proud of his floating dock with integral boat lift, where his
23-foot twin jet boat is moored. This prototype apparatus enables the
couple to cruise to the community's other amenities.
There are other sources of pride for him as well. Like the pool table
on the second floor, and the movie theater with the 96-inch screen.
Mary, who loves to read, takes pleasure in the scalloped-back, ivory
chair-and-a-half in the mitered window of the master suite. Its
contours reprise the curves on the coral bench at the foot of the bed
Two tall tapestries the couple found give the room Tuscan spirit.
Kreye helped give the room privacy by designing drapery panels that are
unseen by day but slide out at night from behind stationary panels.
The Paulins say they've got it right this time.
"We started on Longboat Key," Harvey recounted, "but it was too cold. We liked Naples, but we didn't have water access.
"Now we're where we
should be."

Just like a lot of games, good music and story but not great gameplay. I'm not saying it's bad because I can't beat it but because the enemies are almost impossible. When I try to hit them, they hit me first.

German economists warn against eurozone summit decisions
Sun Jul 8, 2012 1:48PM
"Banks' debts are nearly three times higher than government debts," the letter added.The economists said that "the taxpayers, retirees and savers in the so-far solid countries of Europe must not be made liable for backing these debts, particularly since gigantic losses are foreseeable from financing the southern countries' inflationary economic bubbles." However, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has rejected the letter, calling it out of hand. During the eurozone's summit on June 29 in Brussels, leaders of the bloc's leading economic powerhouses agreed to directly support the struggling banks and bring down the borrowing costs for the stricken member-countries such as Italy and Spain. Backing the idea of a single banking authority at the end of the Brussels Summit, Merkel said that it was needed to prevent government debt from piling up. PG/PKH/AZ

The location is perfect for exploring Port Douglas, making the whole experience very relaxing and easy.
Julie was very accommodative about our late (1am arrival) and was even willing to stay up and meet us but we insisted on an alternative.
What a great stay, Julie was a fabulous host and left some lovely goodies for our arrival.
The apartment was very clean and tidy and we found most of the things we needed to make our stay comfortable.
We arrived late so Julie left everything organised for us including some surprises in the fridge. The apartment is in a fantastic location within a 2 minute work to the beach! Everything was clean and tidy and very well organised. Thank you Julie for making our time in Port Douglas so easy and enjoyable.
Fantastic location-5 mins to town and 2mins to the beach!
Apartment was exactly as described and was wonderful! Basics (and some goodies!) supplied and appreciated.
Contact with Julie was easy and prompt. We had absolutely no reason to contact her during our stay but knew she was just a text away.
Would not hesitate to stay here again- in fact we probably will next year. Thanks Julie !!!!
We loved out stay at Julie`s. We couldn't meet her due to our delayed flight , however were given detailed instructions about everything. Julie was really sweet and treated us with chocolates and Bubbly on our first day. The house is super clean and very close to all major attraction in Port Douglas. We will stay at Castaways again when we go back.
Thanks Julie !!
Merci beaucoup. Votre maison etait parfaite tres confortable, tres bien situee, tres calme. Nous avons adore Port DOUGLAS et votre hospitalité et nous reviendrons car c etait magique !

Excellent location, very close to the beach and Port Douglas' main street. Julie very kindly left some nice goodies in the fridge, very much appreciated. Having wifi in the appartement was great. A normal size sink in the bathroom would have made bathroom use more comfortable.
Julie was a very helpful host who gave us all the information about the apartment we needed, was flexible to our needs, and even provided us with fruit and a bottle of champagne upon arrival.
Our time in castaways four was lovely, it is a fantastic location and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to explore Port Douglas. Thanks Julie!
Although we never met Julie, she did everything she could pre-arrival to make it a very smooth process and she kept it contact throughout our stay.
The location was excellent and the apartment had a nice, homey feel and was very clean. The kitchen was well appointed with utensils and included some nice extras.
We were very comfortable during our stay and would recommend this place to anyone!

Just in time for holiday party chitchat, it's the official 2006 Word of the Year, named yesterday by the New Oxford American Dictionary. The big winner is not one word, but two: "carbon neutral," meaning a lifestyle sensitive to climate damage.
The "carbon neutral" among us drive hybrid cars, use fluorescent lights, dry their laundry on a clothesline, invest in "green" businesses and applaud solar power. Former Vice President Al Gore wore out the term this year in public speeches, not to mention his documentary "An Inconvenient Truth." He even devised a "carbon calculator" for those who want to figure out whether their fossil-fueled ways contribute to global warming.
"This is kind of the World Series for us," said Erin McKean, editor in chief of the 250,000-entry dictionary. "We look for words which are important lexically and culturally. We each keep a running list, then we sit down and argue."
She led an editorial team that combed through news stories, blogs, technical journals and other sources to ferret out this year's crop of words that best defined cultural moments. Carbon neutral — chosen as a prime example of "the greening of our culture and our language' — will be added to an update scheduled for 2007.
"Occasionally, two or more words team up to be used as one, and they have their own grammatical requirements. You can't say, for example, 'carbon very neutral.' You must say 'very carbon neutral,' " Ms. McKean said, adding that one of the also-rans last year had three words — "persistent vegetative state."
Meanwhile, runners-up for the top etymological honor include "CSA" (community-supported agriculture), "DRM" (digital rights management), "dwarf planet" (planetlike objects such as Pluto), "elbow bump" (the handshake alternative for hypochondriacs and "recommended by the World Health Organization"), and "fishapod," a newly discovered fossil that has features of both fish and land mammals.
There's also "pregaming," or boozing before attending a sports event or party where alcohol is banned or in short supply. Last but not least, there's "Islamofascism," which the editorial team deemed "a controversial term" equating modern Islamic movements with European fascist movements of the early 20th century.
There is some competition out there to recognize the buzzwords du jour, though — a whole dictionary, in fact. John Walston's newly published "The Buzzword Dictionary" demystifies 1,000 examples of what he calls "pompous jargon."
Among the newest offerings: "M&Ms;," or "entry-level employees fresh out of college who fancy themselves 'management material,' " "SEP" (someone else's problem), "job spill" (when work cuts into personal time), "YOYO" (You're on Your Own) and "flog" — a fake blog created solely for promotional purposes by unscrupulous promoters.

Police investigate Santa Paula carjacking
Police investigated a carjacking that took place Sunday in Santa Paula, officials said.
Santa Paula police responded to a carjacking at a carwash about 7 a.m. in the 400 block of East Harvard Boulevard, officials said.
At the scene, officers learned that a man was bent over washing his vehicle when he was approached by someone, officials said.
The man saw a black semi-automatic handgun and said a man demanded the keys to the vehicle and told him to walk away without looking back, officials said.
The man saw his vehicle being driven west on Harvard with three men inside, officials said. No further descriptions of the men were available.
The stolen vehicle was described as a green 1997 Nissan Quest with hood damage, officials said. Anyone that comes in contact with the vehicle is asked to call 911 and stay away from the vehicle, police said.

Jay-Z To Continue With Barneys Collaboration, Despite Their Discrimination Practices
Rapper and hip hop mogul Jay-Z says he will move forward with a planned collaboration with luxury retailer Barneys New York, despite recent claims and allegations of racial profiling against Black customers.
In a statement on his website, Jay-Z said that under the condition that he will help to lead the store's review of its policies, he has agreed to move forward with the launch of his BNY SCC collection.
He commented, "I am in a unique position to use my voice to affect change to this disturbing issue... I will take this into my own hands with full power to recommend, review and revise policies and guidelines moving forward. I am choosing to take this head on."
He added that 100% of all sales from the Barneys collaboration will go toward his charitable foundation, the Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation. That foundation supports educational opportunities for disadvantaged students.
Meanwhile, at least two African American former customers of Barneys are still pursuing their lawsuits after they reportedly were arrested and harassed by police after making high-end purchases at one of the retailer's locations. One bought a belt for more than $300, and the other bought a handbag for $2,500 - only to be questioned by police as to how they could afford such large purchases.

Secret little weight loss sabateurs. A vegan diet is great because it tends to be lower in fat, but there are places where even the strictest vegan can run in to trouble. I hit that myself when I actually looked at what 2 tbsp of peanut butter REALLY looks like. They way to avoid it? Buy some measuring spoons. Until you really learn proper prortions, use them. It only takes a few more seconds and your daily intake as well as your waistline will thank you.
Keep your cookouts healthy with lots of green and fruit salads and using meat as a condiment not as a main!!
