"Known to represent everything from innocence to love and passion, pink is a confident color choice that can still feel soothing and happy. A tint of the color red or a mix of red and violet creates a spectrum of pinks that both girls and boys can love. The idea of pink as a feminine color came about only in the 1900s -- in fact, medieval gents often wore pink hosiery.
"But how will this color affect you? Let's hear from the experts on how to use this prettiest of hues at home."
CHAIRS BRING IT ON: Color's on the brain at Atticmag, too. Must be spring fever, eh?
"I've been thinking about color as I look around my house and consider what needs repainting. Because my walls are more or less neutral and I have a whole-house color scheme, I like to take a detour to check out new colors to throw into the mix. This year, it's been hard to get by emerald green which, thanks to Pantone marketing, is showing up everywhere."
PAINT BY LINES: Love this how-to video from Apartment Therapy on creating striped walls. This painter's work is highly sophisticated, but you can get some good advice on how he begins, the tools he uses and see some very gorgeous outcomes.

Editor: Comment on your editorial, Dec. 21, 2013, 'A visit from St. Nicholas to province,' re taxation changes.
Twas Saturday before Christmas and all through my Charlottetown home I wasn't stirring, but dumbfounded by the statement that new taxes were raised on the people with care. The finance minister was happy but I was very unhappy. With HST in place, while promises of no HST by Premier Ghiz during the last election still echo in my head. My husband, Second World War veteran, deceased on Sept. 28, 2013, and so far I am indebted with $1,122.80 HST (invoice proof available) on a very simple, not luxurious funeral.
Merry Christmas to our politicians who do not respect or stand by their promises.

Joe Antilla scored at 6:12 of overtime to give the Kootenay Ice a 3-2 win and a 2-1 lead in the Western Hockey League finals.
Game 4 is tonight in Cranbrook.
"I was just trying to get up into the play and maybe create something, maybe something would happen," Antilla said. "I headed straight for the puck and Max (Reinhart) put it on my stick and I just put it home."
Carruth stopped 38 of 41 shots and was named the game's second star.
"It was a great game," Portland head coach Mike Johnston said. "It was just one of those games where you get a bounce; you get a break in the transition. Both teams missed a couple (in overtime) but they buried that last puck."
After Drew Czerwonka tied the game in the third period, the Winterhawks had an opportunity when Ice defenseman James Martin caught Portland defenseman Troy Rutkowski with a devastating hit. Martin drew a charging major and a game misconduct and Hawks forward Ryan Johansen received a roughing minor in the ensuing scrum. The Hawks failed to score on the three-minute man-advantage.
"You don't score on every power play," Johnston said. "We had one power play and didn't score. We had two good chances on that power play."
After early scoring chances by both clubs, the Ice opened the scoring at the tail end of a power play at 17:53 in the first. As Riley Boychuk stepped out of the box, forward Kevin King took a pass off the wall at the blueline and streaked down the wing on Carruth. King wired his fifth of the playoffs with a terrific shot off the crossbar and behind Carruth for a 1-0 lead.
The Hawks tied it 61 seconds later when Ty Rattie pulled off a similar feat, ripping his eighth of the playoffs past Nathan Lieuwen.
"It's a little frustrating, a close game like that," said Rattie, who was in on both Portland goals with a goal and an assist. "But the game is competitive. We wanted to be the team that pulled it out in overtime, but that's hockey, it happens. We're looking forward to tomorrow."
The goaltenders took over after the first-period flurry. On a two-on-one in the second, Nino Niederreiter went down the left wing and dished a pass to Johansen, only to have Ice goaltender Lieuwen poke-check it away.
Carruth provided some heroics of his own late in the period when Ice rearguard Brayden McNabb found King at Carruth's backdoor. The 19-year-old made a spectacular sliding pad-save to keep it tied 1-1.
After a scoreless second period, the Hawks took the lead 3:54 into the third when Rattie found a wide open Sven Bartschi, who fired his 10th of the playoffs into an open net for a 2-1 lead.
The Ice evened the score at the 13:58 mark when Czerwonka won a foot race to a loose puck and tucked a backhand past Carruth.
After the hit by Martin on Rutkowski, the Hawks pressed for the go-ahead goal but Lieuwen shut the door, stopping Bartschi twice -- once on a breakaway and again in the dying seconds from point-blank range to push the game to overtime.
Notes: Tayler Jordan sat out his one-game suspension for the hit on Steele Boomer in Game 2 while Brad Ross served at least one game of his to-be-determined league suspension. Jordan will return to the lineup tonight. ... Attendance was 3,402. ... The Winterhawks announced the signing of goaltender Jarrod Schamerhorn.

Colic is a condition in infants who cry incessantly and are difficult to soothe or calm down. Colicky infants often seem to be in pain and this can lead parents to worry and become frustrated. A recent review of the research on colic summarizes what we know so far.
Loud noise. The lawnmower, the vacuum cleaner, your motorcycle. Loud noise is all around us, yet much of the time we are so used to it that we don't give it much thought. But at high levels, the force of sound vibrations can damage tiny cells inside our inner ear. Here's how to protect your ears.

In response to Terry Pluto's article about Josh Gordon needing rehab ("Cleveland Browns need to give Josh Gordon this choice: Rehab or release," July 7), he's not a heroin addict, he smokes marijuana. He's not an alcoholic, he had some drinks at a party where he blew a whopping 0.09 on the officer's Breathalyzer. And yes, he may have even had sex that evening, which means Terry would classify him as a sex addict as well.
Look, there is no cure or rehab for stupidity, although I imagine that support group would be very large. I love Josh's skills as a player, I just wish he would grow up sooner rather than later.

Police nab suspects connected to Bainbridge robberies, car prowls
Police have arrested two individuals thought to be behind a string of Bainbridge Island and North Kitsap burglaries and car prowls.
William Black and Jeffrey Oreiro were arrested this week in connection to the robberies. Two other individuals have been arrested as well - at the time of publishing they have yet to be formally charged.
The latest robbery police have linked to Black and Oreiro is a Nov. 6, Falk Road burglary in which perpetrators stole over $10,000 worth of personal property and home electronics. In that incident entry was gained through the home's rear-door. Suspects fled through the front door after being interrupted mid-burglary.
The arrests, made by the Kitsap Sheriff's Department and the Bremerton Police, were the culmination of efforts by both departments plus the Bainbridge and Suquamish departments.
"My guys worked hard on this case," said Bainbridge police Lt. Sue Shultz. "It's been a long week but it ended in a successful catch."
Shultz indicated that those arrested have a long list of previous offenses.
"They are involved in a plethora of crimes in Kitsap County, they were on a crime spree," Shultz said.
Police have linked Black and Oreiro to seven North Kitsap burglaries. The exact amount of Bainbridge break-ins and car prowls, apart from the Falk Road incident, the two are being linked to is still under investigation, however police have recovered a great deal of evidence and stolen goods.
"Our department has recovered over 40 pieces of property from a suspects vehicle," Shultz said. "If anyone has been a victim of a burglary or car prowl in the last couple months they should contact our department."

I have been getting rid of a lot of stuff lately. Since we're moving I'm determined not to move anything that we don't actually need - we have enough stuff as it is! My husband is the "but I might need it someday..." type but he's getting a little bit better as I tell him that the space is more valuable.
I wanted to add that if you have something that's broken/ineffective you can try giving it away through Freecycle. I just got rid of two old laptops and a bunch of books with underlining in them. The laptops were far too old and slow for us (we're snobs in that way, I guess) but I got so many people who wanted them. I didn't think Goodwill would take the books because of the underlining but they're still perfectly useful to anyone who doesn't mind that sort of thing. Anyway, I've found Freecycle to be a great option for things that aren't top-notch but don't quite need to be thrown in the trash yet. It does take some time, though, but I wanted to throw it out there for any readers who do have the time to deal with it. :)
That is true! Freecycle works well for a lot of people. I usually don't want to dedicate the space for things so I never have used it. Thanks for mentioning it.Delete
I need to work on decluttering again. I did pretty well in January and then got sick and then side tracked. If I hit each room 15 minutes a day and pack the car, I can drop it off on my way to school pickup. I'm really good about not going in the front door because I time the Goodwill dropoffs so close to school pickup. :)ReplyDelete
That is so, so smart!Delete
Is that Chuck's work? Wish I was up there- we have desperately outgrown our table!ReplyDelete
Actually, I have been thinking about hiring Chuck! I want the same stove hood he put in his wife's kitchen. But my table and counter were done by Erik Feltes. He is going to do the other half of the kitchen hopefully this summer or fall. He creates handmade pipes, too. Here are his pipes which can ship anywhere:
The furniture and kitchens don't ship so well!
It is so freeing to keep possessions, and therefore clutter, to a minimum! Five years ago when my hubby and I moved from a large house to a 1-bedroom apartment we had a lot of stuff to go through and get rid of. It's actually been really great living in a small space since it forces us to not accumulate lots of needles stuff!ReplyDelete
I could have written this, lol! I am a huge giver-thrower-seller-awayer of stuff! Too bad I live with many little people who are my polar opposites. I usually win, though! Glad to see others are minimalists!ReplyDelete
Yes! Thanks for this post. I read this last night and today I hit several hot spots in my house, removed a bag of garbage, 3 bags for the charity shop and one box for the used book store. I started going through the toys but that was too upsetting for my 3 year old, so I let him help me go through a cabinet and throw some of *my* stuff in the bag. He liked that part. :)ReplyDelete
I will have the kids help me bag things and then we put them in my closet for two weeks. If they can "name" something in that bag that they want, they can have it. They have to be able to describe it to me without looking in the bag. I have only had a kid remember once just what she wanted. It was a Minnie Mouse doll in a red velveteen dress. She described it perfectly and I got it out. But that is the only time it has ever happened.Delete

FAIRHOPE, Alabama --- Canadian native David Cuffe is enjoying retirement in Alabama in a location discovered by his wife of more than 50 years when she was a student at the University of Alabama.
"Fairhope is ideal for us, since it puts us closer to our children and grandchildren in Texas," the retired marketing executive said, noting that the eight years they have been here is one of their longest stays in one location.
Cuffe was born in Montreal and grew up in Peterborough, Ontario. After graduation from Albert College in Belleview, Ontario, he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force as a radar tech and was stationed in the remote area of Goose Bay, Labrador. After completing his military deployment, he entered Michigan State University where he obtained a degree in economics.
While in college, Cuffe worked in the summers as waterfront director for a YMCA camp where he met his future wife, Judy. They were married while still undergraduates at MSU and, because of David Cuffe's 33 years in marketing for Texaco, moved 11 times to homes across the U.S. including Houston, Atlanta, Seattle and Connecticut.
Birthplace: Montreal, Quebec
Hometown: Fairhope
Family: Wife, Judy; son, Ted; daughter, Karyn; four grandchildren
Occupation: Retired marketing executive
Activities: Hiking, swimming
"We lived outside New York City when my office was in Manhattan and we really had a chance to get to know New York, which was exciting," Cuffe said.
Cuffe retired in San Antonio after serving as national marketing director for Texaco and he and Judy moved to Hilton Head, S.C. Always interested in outdoor activities, Cuffe took up kayaking in Hilton Head and was part of a group that explored the rivers from Charleston to Savannah as well as the Okefenokee Swamp. That same group later kayaked in Vancouver around the Broken Islands. He also became a runner in his mid-40s and began hiking when the family lived in Seattle.
"I used to backpack in Glacier National Park and actually slept on a glacier on Mount Rainier," Cuffe said. He hiked the Pacific Coast Trail as well as the Appalachian Trail and later took a cabin cruiser from Washington State through British Columbia. Because of his love for the water, Cuffe also took a group trip on a sailboat out of Chesapeake Bay down the Maryland coast.
Cuffe became a pilot at the age of 50 and a biker after his retirement to Hilton Head. He participated twice in BRAG, an acronym for Bike Ride Across Georgia, which took him from mountains of north Georgia to Beaufort on the coast. "We averaged 65 to 75 miles a day. I had learned biking at Hilton Head, so learning to ride in the mountains was a real challenge. I got very good at shifting gears," Cuffe joked.
A life-long swimmer, Cuffe still swims laps at the Fairhope Recreation Center on a regular basis. He also enjoys fly-fishing and returns a couple times a year to Michigan to fish with college friends. On a family trip to Colorado last year, Cuffe, 74, went skiing, a sport he has enjoyed with his family for the last 25 years. "But this time I turned in all my ski equipment so it could be donated to a local youth club. It was time," Cuffe said, "but we sure had fun."

text: Ok here is the prob. I have a thing going with a friend. Problem is hes married. When we met they were seperated. So we hooked up. Then a couple weeks later he said they were getting back together. So I said good luck and adios. But then a few days later he calls and says he misses me and would i be like his girlfriend on the side. I think its wrong to be with another womans husband but I cant let go of my feelings for him so i said ok. But while i have these deep feelings for him. I think he doesnt have any feelings for me beyond the physical.

MARQUETTE - Northern Michigan University seniors Tyler Gron and Andrew Cherniwchan both signed amateur tryout deals and joined their respective minor league hockey clubs on the road Wednesday.
Gron, an All-CCHA first-team forward this season who led NMU in scoring with 17 goals and 20 assists, signed an ATO with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers of the American Hockey League. The Sound Tigers are an affiliate of the NHL's New York Islanders.
"I'm excited about it," said Gron, who will continue to take his classes online while away from Marquette so he can graduate in May.

"It's a really good opportunity for me to get my foot in the door professionally and see where I fit in. I'm sure it will show my weaknesses even more than in college. I'll have to learn everything I can after a few games here."
Cherniwchan, who recorded 10 goals and 10 assists for the Wildcats in 28 games this season, signed with the South Carolina Stingrays, which is an ECHL affiliate of the Washington Capitals.
Cherniwchan, who is also taking classes online at NMU to graduate in May, spent some time over the summer prior to the 2011-12 collegiate season at a Capitals' development camp and had spoke with Capitols scouts throughout the year. He was even paid a visit by Capitals scouts at Michigan Tech approximately 24 hours after learning his father had lost a longtime battle with cancer.
"It was a strange feeling finishing my last college game and not knowing what you are going to do," Cherniwchan said from Florida on Thursday. "It's exciting to get an opportunity to continue playing.
"One of the reasons I came down to South Carolina is because that is one of (the Captals') affiliations. They still are close by to keep an eye out."
Gron and Cherniwchan both became undrafted free agents following the official conclusion of the season Sunday when Northern was the last team left out of the NCAA tournament.
Clubs have the option at the end of an amateur tryout to either release the player, making him a free agent again, or sign the player to a deal.
Both were absent from their respective team's lineup on Wednesday, but expect to play Friday.
South Carolina is at the Florida Everblades while Bridgeport travels to the Springfield Falcons.
South Carolina has five games remaining in its regular season, plus the playoffs while Bridgeport has 12 before the AHL playoffs begin.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Potentially ending four years of legal wrangling, a judge has dismissed animal-cruelty charges against two West Brighton men whose dealings with an animal-control officer were taped by a crew for the Animal Planet cable channel.
Stapleton Criminal Court Judge Matthew A. Sciarrino Jr. acquitted certified animal rescuers Barry Delaney and Kevin Lewis of eight counts of injuring animals and failing to provide proper sustenance.
Delaney and Lewis were charged after ASPCA Agent John De La Torre visited their Forest Avenue home on Oct. 6, 2005, to check the nine dogs and five cats housed there.
Prosecutors said authorities had received an anonymous tip the animals were "malnourished and flea-infested." Eight of them were seized and brought to a hospital.
Sciarrino dismissed the charges after prosecutors presented one witness — De La Torre — at a bench trial yesterday. He ruled the D.A. failed to prove the case against the defendants beyond a reasonable doubt.
Delaney's Manhattan-based lawyer Curtis J. Farber said the defendants are animal lovers who have laid out thousands of dollars to care for animals who otherwise would be destroyed.
"There was no discretion on the part of the prosecution," said Farber. "This case should have been resolved with no criminal charges."
Samuel M. Feldman was Lewis' attorney.
William J. Smith, spokesman for district attorney Daniel Donovan, said the office stands by its decision to charge the defendants.
"Cruelty to animals is a serious crime and will be prosecuted strongly by this office," he said.
Smith added prosecutors believe they may have "strong grounds" for an appeal and will explore that possibility.
Sciarrino concluded the one-day trial yesterday afternoon after De La Torre testified and prosecutors said no other witnesses were available that day. They would have been produced in successive days, said Smith.
But Farber said Sciarrino had already postponed the trial for a week at the D.A.'s request. It was understood, he said, they would be working late into the evening and witnesses should be there.
Sciarrino had originally dismissed the case in June 2007.
He ruled that De La Torre didn't have sufficient probable cause for a warrantless search and his holstered firearm and the Animal Planet camera crew's presence had unnerved Delaney.
However, in February of this year, a divided state
appellate court reversed that decision and returned the case to Sciarrino for

The concept of Net Zero housing is a hot topic. Calling it a concept is a bit misleading, as it's now be proven many times over, that a home built in the right manner can produce all the energy it could ever use. The key is in creating a home that uses very little energy to start, and the goal of Net Zero becomes much easier to obtain. For some, the goal and challenge of Net Zero seems too far fetched, too expensive, too out of reach, or too Passive House. Tom Fullam and wife Stephanie of Vassalboro have built a home, Near Zero Maine, and taken that challenge straight on with well documented results.
You may know what Net Zero is, but what about Near Zero? As the name likens, it's the goal of getting as close to Net Zero as possible within a certain budget. From a cost perspective, reducing monthly home energy expenses is attractive to anyone. From an environmental perspective, lessening the amount of fossil fuels used to heat and power a home is a plus as well. So how does this play out in the real world?
Built as a personal residence and case study to see what is actually possible for inexpensive, high performance homes in a northern climate like Maine, Tom's Near Zero project is real world. Winning The U.S. Department of Energy, the National Association of Home Builders Research Center, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory 2011 Energy Value Housing Award the home has accolades to prove concept but what, exactly, is the concept?
Tom designed and built the home from his own knowledge and research, as Near Zero provides Consumer Education courses related to new and existing home efficiency. Designed to have low initial and ongoing cost, toxic free materials, ease of use and resilience, the concept was to prove net or near zero could be done for the same or less cost as "traditional" building methods. The difference being the ongoing costs of operating a home. In 2012 the total energy cost at the Near Zero house for the entire year was $380! That is an 87% savings over the average traditionally built home.
"Over the three years following construction, renewable energy features were added to the high performance double walled home, evaluating the impact on energy consumption with each addition. Results! The lowest twelve month energy cost was $ 307. Although not LEED certified, it's design and sustainable practices were not far from our minds during the design and construction process. This resulted in a HERS index of 38 prior to the addition of PV and reduced the impact on the site and surrounding area. The locally sourced cedar shingles are left to gray naturally needing no paint or stain. The white standing seam roof, with an SRI of 81.6, sheds snow without raking, improves the performance of the PV by reducing the temperature around the panels and reduces the heat island effect that creates smog. The woven bamboo floor throughout is the hardest of the bamboo flooring products, transferring the six zones of radiant heat efficiently. Zero VOC paints, low VOC building products, and seven make-up air ports contribute to the indoor air quality. The 120 gallon solar radiant heat tank with an electric element for back-up requires no annual maintenance. An 80 gallon solar tank with electric element back-up provides abundant domestic hot water. Conveniently located controls in the pantry permit seasonal and demand adjustments for greater efficiency and savings. A 5 foot easy access shower with fold- down seat in the master bath provides a comfortable roomy showering experience while a 6 foot tub in the second bath is ideal when you want to lay back and soak. The 1.25 gpf Kohler pressure assisted comfort height toilets have the highest performance rating."

The 2011 NFL draft featured players who were incredibly productive in their rookie seasons. It might have been the best class of rookies to come into the league based on their performances in Year 1.
It appears as if the transition for players coming into the NFL is not as drastic as it once was and players are more ready than ever to play now. From offensive players like quarterbacks and running backs to defensive players like ends who rush the quarterback, they are all ready to play.
In this article, we are re-drafting the first three rounds of the 2011 NFL draft based on what happened in 2011, what happened in free agency and what the draft is shaping up to be.
Many things have changed for these teams since the original picks were made, and this article will take them all into account. This is where the players should have gone based on everything we know today.

Gosh, I hate to bring this up. But I cannot let it go.
No, I am not talking about Jackson County Commissioner Philip Duckham.
Duckham stirred up controversy last month by comparing domestic policies of President Barack Obama to policies in Nazi Germany.
The guy has a right to his opinion, but his defenders inexplicably acted surprised that some people were offended.
Let's state the obvious: Many Americans will be outraged if our president is cast in the same light as Adolf Hitler, regardless of the details. This is true for any president, but especially a president Hitler would have preferred to exterminate.
But that's not the point.
A different Nazi-related development in Jackson was more offensive, to me at least, but it attracted little notice.
Amid the glitter of the Jackson County Fair, one under-the-grandstand vendor of fabric banners had a Nazi flag for sale.
That's right, the flag of enemies who killed our fathers, uncles and grandfathers.
No matter what anyone thinks about Duckham, he obviously dislikes Nazis. The flag was more offensive because it is difficult to imagine such a thing is intended to appeal to anyone except admirers of Nazism.
"Why would the fair allow this?" I wondered.
Fairground rules ban alcohol even for cooking by the "comic chef." The county should also want to prohibit the marketing of Nazi paraphernalia on its property.
But then I realized it's probably far less complicated to ban booze than flags. So I cut the county some slack.
During two days at the fair, I walked past the booth several times but never said a word. Not a peep.
My silence was because of the confusion about the concept of free speech.
Thinking that free speech works for morons who embrace obnoxious political symbols, I forgot it works for me, too.
"Excuse me," I should have told the vendor, "but I see you sell Nazi flags. Jackson County is not a good market for that. I won't consider buying anything from you."
Depending on the vendor's attitude, I might have then gone away or stayed and made a scene. It's difficult to guess where freedom of speech might lead.
If the guy comes back next year with Nazi flags, you are invited to join me in a celebration of free speech.
We might tell him about the man in Rives Junction who had three brothers killed by Nazis.
Stuff like that explains why we cannot let it go.

Sennett, NY -- An Elbridge woman was charged Tuesday with felony driving while intoxicated after troopers said she hit a car and then left the scene.
Melinda A. Powers, 44, of 106 Brown St., Elbridge, had a blood-alcohol content of 0.23 after the crash, troopers said.
Powers was driving east on Grant Avenue in Sennett when her vehicle struck a car driven by Michael Oster, who was also driving east, troopers said.
After the crash, Powers drove off, but Oster followed her vehicle until he was able to get her license plate number, troopers said. Oster complained of pain following the crash, troopers said.
Troopers used the license plate information provided by Oster to find her at her Elbridge home.
She was charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated, a misdemeanor, and felony DWI because of a previous DWI conviction within 10 years, troopers said.
She was ticketed for leaving the scene of a personal injury accident, following too closely and imprudent speed.
She was arraigned in Sennett Town Court and ordered held on $500 bail or $10,000 bond.

"The Pirates of Penzance" will offer flood-weary Minot residents a chance for a few hours of fun, said director Chad Gifford.
The production was rescheduled because of flooding on the Souris River. The show will run today through Monday at 8:30 p.m. in the amphitheater north of the MSU Dome.
Gifford said the Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera tells the story of a young man who is indentured to a group of pirates until his 21st birthday. He breaks free from the pirates, finds his way in the world and falls in love. Then the pirates come back and complications ensue.

"I say it's more of a cartoon opera," Gifford said. "They're very big and bold and over the top in everything they do."
"Pirates of Penzance" makes fun of opera, Gifford said, but the music is as beautiful and well done as in classical opera.
Gifford said he chose this show for this summer's production for a couple of reasons.
Fact Box
Gaining access
The Minot State University Summer Theatre production of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Pirates of Penzance" takes the stage at the Amphitheater, north of the MSU Dome, today through Monday.
Best access to the theater right now, according to the Minot Flood Hotline, is through the north entrance to the MSU Dome parking lot, that entrance located behind the Grand International.
Reservations are available by calling 858-3228. Ticket prices are $8 for adults, $7 for students and senior citizens, $5 for preschoolers and $3 for MSU summer students and faculty with a current ID.
Military and National Guard members and their families can attend at a reduced rate Saturday night with military ID.
"I had a large number of talented singers that I really wanted to find a good use for," said Gifford. Also, he said, he'd had a lot of requests over the years to present this production.
Gifford also enjoyed the subject matter. "The humor appealed to me," he said.
The show presents a character, Frederic, played by Brett Olson, who was accidentally apprenticed in his childhood to service aboard a pirate ship.
On the eve of his emancipation from service to the Pirate King, played by Noah Files, Frederic manages to fall in love with a daughter, played by Kim Beard, of a Major General, played by David Bradley, and must reassess his sense of duty to these unorthodox pirates.
When it is discovered that the wording of his apprenticeship may bind him to his position for an additional 63 years, Frederic struggles between his sense of duty and the woman he loves.
Gifford said the actors have been rehearsing since early June. The disruption caused by the flood meant some recasting had to be done at the last minute, too, but the cast is ready, he said.
Gifford said attendees will need to come to the amphitheater through the north side of campus. There are construction vehicles parked nearby, but the amphitheater is open, he said.
"We've had a lot of challenges lately," he said. "We decided to put this on partly because we thought people just need a break."

JACKSON, MI — A wrecker parade in honor of William Olney wound through Jackson on Monday, June 30.
Olney ran Jimmie's Towing and Auto Repair, 4201 W. Michigan Ave., for more than 40 years and jointly owned the business with his sons Rick and Ed.
William Olney died June 24. He was 79.
David Phelps, who owns Phelps Towing at 3640 Page Ave., coordinated the wrecker parade with the Michigan Towing Association as part of Olney's memorial services. The parade went from Charles J. Burden & Son Funeral Home, 1806 E. Michigan Ave. to Roseland Memorial Gardens, 3744 Brooklyn Road.
"I felt he deserved it," Phelps said last week. "He was that type of gentleman."
About 25 wreckers participated in the parade.
William Olney is survived by his wife, Shirley; sons Ed, Jim and Rick; eight grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren.

Btw, folks, Dai said he is planning to have two quads in LP next season:
Go, DAI!
Btw, folks, Dai said he is planning to have two quads in LP next season:
Go, DAI!
Originally I was not a figure skating fan, until I saw Daisuke's performance at the Olympics. It blew me away, and the rest is history. I rooted for Patrick at first because he was the poster child for figure skating in Canada haha.
I like them both and can appreciate the skating skills of both of them; however, as much as I like Dai's skating, I am in awe of Patrick....I enjoy the comraderie between these two competitors.
I just love how the poeple were screaming after Dai said he wanted to try 2 quads in his FS next season!Originally Posted by let's talk
And because it needs to be said over and over again: his 'engrish' is just adorable ^^
If I remember correctly, he said somewhere else that he'd try the 4F again, if his 4T is getting good enough. I want to see that!
I'd love to see him have a 4F4T
It is the thing which I translated for a thread of Yuzuru, but writes it here because the conversation of Daisuke is included.
I calibrated translation of this video. And I wrote it again as follows. I translated it without minding number of characters. I'm sorry to be too long.
Woman caster Yuko Ando) Daisuke Takahashi who won a silver medal wonderfully and Yuzuru Hanyu who won a bronze medal came here, now. Congratulations! Though you are tired, thank you. Please tell me the story later.
Caster Yuko) Sorry to make you come on a day of such terrible weather. and made you wait.
Caster Yuko) It is the first time in history that plural Japanese men enter the winners' platform in the world championship.
Daisuke) I really think it to be a nice splendid achievement as a member of the Japanese men skater.
Caster Yuko) Did Hanyu talk in this way before? 「Daisuke Takahashi and Patrick Chan are existence on clouds. 」 The impression that you stood in the winners' platform with them?
Yuzuru) Because there was not an actual feeling fighting on the same stage though I was tense when I entered the winners' platform, it's miraculous.
Caster Yuko) How does Takahashi think of Hanyu?
Daisuke) I think fierce for me. He has all. In addition, he can get the atmosphere of the audiences in the stadium.
Caster Yuko) The audience did beating time with hands in the latter half of the FP.
Yuzuru) It helped me. It's really glad. I do my best and think like Takahashi from now on that I want to be able to do it.
Caster Yuko) At that time of Takahashi, the audience was in high spirits.
Daisuke) It was helped very much that time by big encouragement of the audience.
Caster Yuko) Fierce younger skater follows you.
Daisuke) I seem to be really overtaken by him. I'm terrified. I try so hard that it is not overtaken by him.
Caster Yuko) You are frank. I was surprised. Then, let us watch your performance together.
Narrator) The audience cheered the performance of two samurai and many Japanese national flags shook in stadium. And, it is the first splendid achievement in Japanese history that two people won medals at the same time.
Daisuke Takahashi succeeded quadruple jump that did not succeed so far in free program. He didn't mind pressure. and he showed strong heart in world superlative performance. And he let combination jump of the high relative difficulty succeed and attracted the audience by world's best steps and his mature charm. And he won a silver medal.
17-year-old Yuzuru Hanyu showed courage not to mind pressure of the first participation. He let jumps of high difficulty succeed steadily. And, it was unexpected fall. But he was not discouraged at having fallen down, and he proved a strong heart. He thought of the revival of victims and finished spirited performance and received the cheers of the audience. After he raised a hand, he was relieved. He finished satisfaction performance, and he hug a coach. Focus, coach had a tissue cover of Winnie-the-Pooh. Pooh attended the kiss and cry too. Is Pooh a favorite of Hanyu?
Takahashi and Hanyu knew each other's results and praised good fight. Two Japanese national flags were raised in a commendation ceremony, and it was proved that Japan was a kingdom of the figure skating.
Caster Yuko) Did Takahashi watch this performance of Hanyu for the first time?
Daisuke) Yes, because he skated earlier than me.
Caster Yuko) How did you think to see this?
Daisuke) I have not yet watched all. Everyone said he was splendid. I want to watch recorded video after going home.
Caster Yuko) Takahashi's quadruple jump was good.
Daisuke) No, because but it was dangerous. I feel shiver, still now.
Caster Yuko) Really? Was it time of that landing?
Daisuke) I thought so later when I watched that video.
Caster Yuko) But did you survive it?
Daisuke) I did it somehow. I was anxious about only a quadruple jump. Because I thought that it was all right if even quadruple jump succeeded, I was relieved to be able to make landing.
Caster yuko) How did you think to see a performance of Takahashi?
Yuzuru) I felt force and dignified presence. I finished my performance and felt relieved, but thought that I should aim at the nobler performance like Takahashi.
Caster Yuko) Hanyu is a good younger. You fell down during footwork, that time.
Yuzuru) I felt that time stopped at that time.
Caster Yuko) But you did recover immediately, wasn't it?
Yuzuru) I was encouraged for applause and cheer of audiences.
Caster Yuko) This is mysterious. Your lucky-item?
Yuzuru) Lucky item, mmm.
Caster Yuko) Do you like? or dislike?
Yuzuru) I like it.
Caster Yuko) When there is Pooh, do you calm down?
Yuzuru) Yes, I calm down.
Caster Yuko) Is this indispensable?
Yuzuru) Because it is a stuffed toy, it's stable and always does the same face.
Caster Yuko) I see. Takahashi, are there lucky-item?
Daisuke)There is not it.
Caster Yuko) Do you not mind it?
Daisuke)I don't do that I am nervous about omens either. I think that adaptation to circumstances is good. Because I hate thinking with worry without it.
Caster Yuko) I will put this for the time being to do an interview well. Mainoumi, please.
Caster Mainoumi,Former sumo wrestler) At first, congratulations! I ask such a question, when you fatigued. sorry. What is necessary to win a gold medal,in The Olympics? At first, Hanyu.
Yuzuru) I am not yet such an existence. At first I aim at the participation. Therefore I want to do my best for all-Japan championship.
Caster Mainoumi) Takahashi. How about it? What is insufficient thing?
Daisuke) All is not enough to me. Because young skaters with ability participate, I cannot be careless. At first for me, quadruple jump, and physical strength and spin. I watched Patrick Chan and thought so.
Caster Mainoumi) It seem to have charity show for earthquake disasters in April?
Daisuke) It began in Kobe last year. It is the 2nd to perform in Kobe. We want to continue it for a long time.
Caster Yuko) Do you think the strength of Patrick Chan to be what?
Daisuke) What... I feel confidence for him when I practice together. I see him to be confident of his training.
Caster Yuko) It is written in the book of Hanyu that "I do not want to do skating with Patrick".
Yuzuru) Because it is the existence that I can never overcome. Of course Takahashi too. I don't yet feel like be able to beat other skaters.
At the time of press conference, I was glad that Patrick said to me in this way."You just shined most". I want to catch up with him sometime.
Daisuke) I want to beat him, too.
Caster Yuko) From children, there was such a question. "How can you spin faster?"
Daisuke) I think that I want him to teach me. Because I'm slow.
Caster Yuko) Ahaha! How do you do it?
Yuzuru) I cannot but practice.
Daisuke) I cannot do it even if I practice. Teach me.
Caster Yuko) Does Takahashi want to do spin faster than now?
Daisuke) I am slow than others. It's my weak point.
Caster Yuko) Tsubakihara?
Announcer Tsubakihara) It is the question from an audience."Have you wanted to quit skating?"
Caster Yuko) At first, Takahashi.
Daisuke) I thought so many times. When I was injury, I thought so in particular.
Caster yuko) Is it hard to show a motivation again at such time?
Daisuke) I was helped by close people. And I likes skating above all.
Caster yuko) And Hanyu?
Yuzuru) Because I liked baseball, I was at a loss. Because the particularly first coach was fierce. I wanted to quit it several times. haha
Caster yuko) The coach, was a woman? or a man?
Yuzuru) Woman.
Caster Yuko) But you did continue it.
Yuzuru) So I like skating. I presented successively with much effort, and father and mother supported it, too.
Tsubakihara) The next question, favorite sports and weak sports? And the hobby?
Daisuke) I am weak in a ball competition.
Caster Yuko) Ball games?
Daisuke) Tama... Oh, it's so. I am weak in ball games. sorry haha. I like the track and field comparatively whether it is proud. If it is sprint, I am not so slow.
Caster Yuko) Your hobby?
Daisuke) My recent hobby reads.
Caster Yuko) May I hear it in detail?
Daisuke) It may not be interesting.
Caster Yuko) What kind of book?
Daisuke) Various. I like horror novels.
Caster Yuko) Do you like being scary?
Daisuke) Yes, I excite, what happens after it.
Caster Yuko) Hanyu, what are weak sports?
Yuzuru) I am weak in soccer and basketball.
Caster Yuko) Even if you can play baseball?
Yuzuru) I can do the baseball all right, but cannot hit a basketball on the goal ring.
Caster Yuko) Is the baseball good than other ball games?
Yuzuru) Because my father played baseball. But my basketball play is terrible.
Caster Yuko) And your hobby?
Yuzuru) My hobbies are video games and music.
Caster Yuko) What kind of music do you listen to?
Yuzuru) It's J-POP. I am asked about "Do you hear classical music?". I don't listen at all. These that I hear recently, Hi-Fi CAMP / PornoGraffitti .
Caster yuko) Oh, I can not understand the talk. (I do not know a recent musician.) Next?
Tsubakihara) The next question. You eat together? And do you talk about skating?
Daisuke) Because we are different in a base; after a competition sometimes. We did not talk about the skating. isn't it?
Yuzuru) Yes.
Caster Yuko) Do you talk about the love?
Daisuke) No. Girls may do the story of the love. When talk together; in this way "The movement of this skater was interesting". We don't talk about the skating seriously. Other in this way "That skater is great." "That failure was laughable."
Caster Yuko) Are you careful about a meal? Hanyu in particular is thin.
Yuzuru) I am careful about nothing. When I want to eat it, I eat. And do not eat when I don't want to eat it.
Caster Yuko) Do you not have the likes and dislikes?
Yuzuru)There are not the likes and dislikes for food particularly. But, all of anything is not edible.
Caster Yuko) I prepared a favorite of Daisuke Takahashi. These are croissant. Did you already ate?
Daisuke) The fan bought it for me who heard that I said, "I wanted to eat it!" in Nice. French croissant was really delicious.
Caster Yuko) Then ambition of the next season.
Daisuke) "Steadily steadily." I think about my situation. And I want to progress even little by little. Because there was not it, I change such a character.
Yuzuru) "LEVEL UP!" I was able to give satisfaction performance in the last of this season, but cannot expect the further evaluation. I improve skating and want to increase the kinds of the quadruple jump.
Caster Yuko) Mr Taro Kimura such as Winnie-the-Pooh. Is there the question?
Taro Kimura) There is not it. Please get a lot of medal and presents in competition and the Olympics.
Caster Yuko) I want to see gold and silver of dazzling. haha. Please do your best in health carefully. Thank you.
Daisuke& Yuzuru) Thank you.
The day when this broadcasted was the day of strong winds that many trucks were overturned.
Original was around 25 minutes, special feature. As for the thing uploaded in Youtube, some videos and conversations were omitted. My translation watched the thing which I recorded. The other part which is omitted of the video is about an earthquake disaster, and messages from children of Sendai for Yuzuru.
Please forgive me for my poor English. If there are place not to understand meaning, please point it out.

Thanks for your translation! My two favorite parts are when Hanyu said he wanted to give a "nobler" performance to emulate Takahashi. That's the way I think of Daisuke as well: there's a nobility to his skating.
The other moment was when Hanyu said that Winnie-the-Pooh is his good luck talisman. How adorable!
To think we might never have seen Hanyu skate (if he had become a baseball player).
The way the media say "bring us lots of medals [and not bronze]" is a bit scary. US media are not so blatant about pouring on the pressure.
I'm overjoyed for Daisuke being back on the podium where he belongs. Then yesterday I realized that with Daisuke and Chan both being on the podium, we can't have him come to Skate Canada. We've been blessed by having both Patrick and Daisuke at Skate Canada in two of the last three seasons. The highlight of Skate Canada in Kitchener in 2009 was seeing Daisuke skate his Olympic programs so beautifully I really thought he would win the OGM. Those are my favourite Takahashi programs of all time. This year, we got to see Blues for Klook in it's original form. It was much changed by the time he got to Worlds but in Mississauga it was amazing the way he became the music. Loved it.
Guess I'll have to go to London to see him.
Let's try to not drag the fan threads down into fan wars. They never end well and in the end we have to deal with closing a thread out because of the nastiness. You get your licks enough times over in the competition threads as well as other discussions in the edge.
As one combination? I didn't even think about something like thisOriginally Posted by dorispulaski
Thanks let's talk for bringing up the exact quote.
Yes, if he'll go for two 4Ts I'll just be as proud of him, but it would be so nice to have him the first human to ever land the 4F in competition! And it does have a higher base value; and I love his flips in general (just as I like his 3A)

Traditional client- and server-side software technologies connect using a software solution called a socket. As industry has moved from static, thick clients to mobile, thin clients, the use of sockets has not changed. However, sockets have morphed over the years and thus have grown in complexity. As a result, most struggle to understand the technology, let alone possess a thorough understanding of how sockets are used in the enterprise or how they are used when coupled with mobile and cloud technologies.
This article provides an understanding of what sockets are, what types of sockets are available for your application, the pros and cons of using sockets in mobile and cloud solutions, and how cloud service providers support sockets.
A socket primer
Sockets connect client-side software to server-side software using a combination of
an Internet protocol (IP) address or a Domain Name System (DNS) address and port
number. A prevalent example of this coupling is in web mail (for example,
www.acmewidgets.com:2095), where the colon
:) is the delimiter between the DNS address and the
port number. Sockets allow a session-level connection for data transfer or executing
Types of sockets
Sockets are used to establish sessions between the client and server to execute transactions or data transfer. When enterprises deploy or consume sockets, they may use different types of sockets and different protocols predicated on the application type, security requirements, and the skill set of the development team. Socket types include Internet, stream, raw, and domain sockets. Internet and stream sockets are the most popular because of their ease of use, their architecture, and the prevalence of web and application servers in contemporary data centers.
As far as Internet sockets go, HTTP–based sockets are the first pick for thin client or web-based systems, particularly for those applications that do not require enhanced security through encryption. Note also that HTML version 5 (HTML5) introduces WebSockets to the equation, which is analogous to Internet sockets on steroids. (See Resources for a link to more information.) When additional security is required, the enterprise should choose a stream socket. Although Internet sockets are popular these days because of the proliferation of thin client applications, stream–based sockets are popular, as well.
The most prevalent stream–based socket is based on the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) stack and is used often for thick client applications. (Note that TCP is occasionally used for thin client connections, as well.) When additional security is required for socket connections, a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS)–based solution set is also available. SSL/TLS is used in conjunction with HTTP over SSL (that is, HTTPS) via public key infrastructure (PKI) for securing data in motion. Note that SSL/TLS is often required when dealing with sensitive data, such as personally identifiable information, protected health information, cardholder data or payment, banking, or brokerage data. Those organizations that need more flexibility in their client–server connections should consider raw sockets.
Raw sockets do not rely on a specific transport mechanism; therefore, packets sent over a connection using raw sockets include a header as well as the "raw" packet itself. These sockets are often used by network appliances — namely, firewalls and routers — that leverage both the Internet Control Message Protocol and the Internet Group Management Protocol. Internal systems are occasionally coded while using raw sockets because of their versatility; therefore, these sockets can be used in the context of a private, internal cloud. Those enterprises that use UNIX® systems have another option for socket use: domain sockets.
Domain sockets include Interprocess Communication (IPC) protocols. IPC is a socket often used for legacy platforms like UNIX, and although some may consider the need to connect mainframe systems to mobile or cloud environments inconsequential, the need may arise and therefore requires a mention. Regardless of the socket used, all sockets have a basic structure to their development and use, which the next section covers.
The structure of a socket
The system architecture or platform, security requirements, and programming languages you used for that platform help drive what type of socket you should use. Furthermore, the choice of using application programming interfaces (APIs) versus internally developed sockets also drives the structure of the socket. Case in point, if an enterprise were to use a cloud-based Linux®, Apache, MySQL, and PHP (LAMP) stack for server-side processing on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) platform, it would most likely employ Internet-based sockets. In contrast, if the developer wanted to find a socket–based API to use with mobile client-side sessions from an Apple iPad running Apple iOS 5, a logical choice would be the Twisted framework, which uses stream–based sockets (see Resources for a link).
Twisted uses a socket structure that reflects its stream- and event-based architecture; therefore, much like the Windows® TCP/stream–based sockets (that is, WinSock), a diagram of its structure would reflect its reliance on callbacks from the client (see Figure 1).
Figure 1. WinSock client-server interaction
From a code standpoint, you can get a better understanding of the structure of a
socket by reviewing domain sockets created using the
programming language for a UNIX mainframe platform. Listing 1
provides a visual interpretation of how domain–based sockets are structured using
C on UNIX.
Listing 1. Domain-based sockets in C in UNIX
struct sockaddr_out { short int sout_family; unsigned short int sout_port; /*Remember firewall rules*/ struct out_addr sout_addr; /*Router too*/ unsigned char sout_zero [8]; };
The pros and cons of using sockets
The type of socket you choose may affect the application's quality of service (QoS) from a positive or negative standpoint, as sockets maintain the session state from the client side and server side. Thus, many sockets assist in maintaining the transactional integrity of applications. However, sockets also maintain the confidentiality and integrity of a transaction when used in conjunction with PKI encryption.
Encryption assists organizations in protecting data, but it also adds overhead that can negatively affect the user experience through QoS. Sockets can also be difficult to develop or configure; therefore, the organization's development staff must have an enhanced skill set. Finally, different technologies dictate which sockets you can use, so the requirement to use sockets on a specific platform may limit your options.
There are pros and cons to using sockets, although each socket type brings specific strengths and weaknesses. Internet–based socket APIs are bundled within most of the popular application server stacks (for example, the Microsoft® .NET Framework, Apache Tomcat, IBM® WebSphere® Application Server), although these types of sockets bring limited security and transactional integrity to the equation. Session-based socket APIs introduce security and enhanced transactional integrity to the table, and they are included with most application servers. However, they are resource intensive and therefore may affect QoS. Raw sockets introduce versatility in exchange for an enhanced level of complexity and a lower level of security. Finally, domain–based socket APIs introduce extensibility for UNIX environments, though they are limited to certain platforms and therefore may see minimal support from service providers and API developers.
How cloud providers support sockets
Cloud computing is a rebranding, if you will, of the old application service provider (ASP) model. However, true cloud offerings have additional nuances from ASPs — namely, resource pooling, on-demand utilization, multitenancy, and rapid elasticity. Cloud service providers offer services based on different cloud service and deployment models.
Cloud service models are methods in which an organization can use the cloud predicated on business requirements, such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), or Software as a Service (SaaS). Cloud consumers have the greatest flexibility with IaaS and the least with SaaS. However, with the flexibility found in IaaS comes the cloud consumer's requirement to administer, monitor, and manage the environment. So, IaaS consumers build the (virtual) server starting at the operating system layer. For PaaS, the consumer builds the database, application, and business rules and loads the data. For SaaS, the consumer only has to load the data into the prebuilt application.
Cloud deployment models include public, private, hybrid, and community clouds. One example of a public cloud model is Google App Engine, in which the application and data are stored in one of Google's data centers. In this model, the consumer in essence has a floor in the Google "high-rise" apartment. Most large organizations will leverage the cloud internally as a private cloud. One example of a private cloud is an organization that uses cloud nuances (for example, resource pooling, on demand, multitenancy, or rapid elasticity) within its own data center for information processing. Organizations can have a private cloud within a provider's facility, as well. Examples include Terremark's customers as well as those who use Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC). Examples of hybrid consumers include pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer, which uses a private model to store its research and development data, sends the data securely (via SSL/TLS) to a public cloud for computations, and then sends the data back to the private cloud. In essence, a hybrid model uses the best of both the public and private worlds. A community cloud leverages resource pooling to a large extent, one example being a number of schools in a school district that share server resources for information processing.
Based on the cloud service and deployment models chosen, cloud consumers have different socket types available to them. In general, Internet and stream–based sockets are supported by all major providers (Amazon Web Services, Rackspace, Windows Azure™, Google App Engine) as both PaaS and IaaS offerings. Consumers of SaaS solutions do not need to concern themselves with using sockets directly, although they may need to have third parties interact with their SaaS–based providers via sockets. However, providers do not support raw sockets organically, although by using and configuring an IaaS environment, an organization could theoretically accept and process raw sockets. Finally, few enterprises have found a business case to move their mainframe environments to a virtualized or private cloud platform; therefore, virtualization and private cloud technology providers such as OpenStack, Xen, Microsoft, and VMware have not explicitly mentioned their support for domain–based sockets. However, this may change over time as private cloud technologies are used with greater prevalence.
Sockets have been around a long time, and they're here to stay. The introduction of mobile and cloud technologies has meant that sockets have morphed and scaled to respond to these new markets. As more enterprises and technologies focus on mobile and cloud solutions, sockets developers will too. However, not all sockets are the same, and enterprises should carefully consider their strengths and weaknesses before deciding which sockets an application should use which provider to select for transactional processing.

The latest seastar survey by the Indian Island Marine Health Observatory on Aug. 10 found that incidence of Seastar Wasting Syndrome had declined by about half since mid-July to 19 percent.
"In other words, a little more than four-fifths of the ochre stars at Indian Island appear to be healthy, and this includes many smaller, younger seastars," said Russel Barsh, Kwiaht director.
Total seastars visible in the inter-tidal zone have also decreased.
Millions of sea stars from Alaska to Mexico and is being studied by various teams, including about 40 biologists from many west coast universities and all the major aquariums.
"We have evidence that an infectious agent is involved, but it is too soon to say yet whether it is a virus or a bacterium," said Drew Harvell, a marine epidemiologist at Cornell University who is studying sea stars on the island.
According to Barsh many seastars have retreated to deeper, cooler water, and those that remain around Indian Island are mostly hidden in crevices or under boulders, out of direct sunlight.
The next seastar census will be taken in November when there are low evening tides.
Interested members of the community may want to mark their calendars for Friday, Sept. 5, 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm at Orcas Island Library, for back-to-back research reports on Seastar Wasting at Indian Island by Barsh and the Crescent Beach Sand Dollar study (Amy Henry):
"An echinoderm double header," said Barsh about the upcoming meeting.

The word St. Peters' coach Charlie Driscoll used to describe perennial New York
City basketball powerhouse Rice was 'long' back in mid-January when the Eagles turned in a solid performance before dropping a 59-48 decision in the Bronx.
But Saturday night at the Holy Cross gym in Queens the rematch was played under much different circumstances and the Raiders utilized their 'long' game with a 32-minute, full-court press that produced 29 SP turnovers and a 67-43 decision over the Eagles in the Archdiocesan Semifinals.
The loss means St. Peter's will now play an Intersectional outbracket game Tuesday night, 7:30 against Molloy at Holy Cross.
"We knew we had our work cut out for us coming into this game," Driscoll said of his 17-7 squad. "We lost our best three-point shooter (Rob Horai, illness) this week, and there's no way we were going to beat rice inside. They are just much too big for us."
The Raiders applied constant pressure from the opening tap as nearly every Eagle pass was contested, tipped, or outright stolen and Peter's fell behind 14-5 after one quarter.
Trevor Sykes, who scored 28 points in the teams' first meeting, scored six of his team-high 17 points in the second stanza as the Eagles made some quick adjustments and stayed within striking distance.
"They were getting three and sometimes four shots every time down the floor," Driscoll explained. "They just kept going over us and tapping the ball around until they got another opportunity."
Peter's actually cut the deficit to nine points twice in second stanza before falling behind by 15 (34-19) into halftime, but the top-seeded Raiders were not done with the pressure.
Three consecutive turnovers to start the third quarter led to a 9-4 run by Rice, and when Shane Southwell stole an in-bounds pass and followed with a resounding dunk, it was a 43-23 game with over five minutes still remaining in the period.
"You have to give them credit," Driscoll added. "They are capable of playing as good defensively as any team we've seen this year. And tonight they did exactly that."

It's Trivia Day....
Tell me a piece of Trivia that you know off the top of your head....
Take is seriously!! GET YOUR PAP!
The first American flag to fly in a school happened in Colrain, Ma.
When you cry during cutting an onion it's because your knife isn't sharp enough. Sharpen the knife, then cut the onion, it will stop your eyes from burning while cutting the onion. It's because the knife is no longer actually cutting but squishing the onion til it bursts apart, causing all the juice from the onion to spray and hit you in the face.
the word tips (like we leave at restaraunts) is actually an acronym that stands To Insure Prompt Service.

Tinea versicolor is a condition which affects the skin of human beings. It is a fungal infection which is caused by an organism named malassezia furfur. This organism thrives in a warm and humid atmosphere and so outbreaks of this condition are common during summer.
The patient normally develops rashes on the surface of the skin and this causes the appearance of red or pink patches. These patches normally do not cause any itching sensation on the skin, but they tend to look unsightly. Tinea versicolor is very common among children and young adults.
However, in some rare cases, it can even affect older people. Tinea versicolor is not a serious health condition but it requires prompt treatment in order to get rid of the discoloured patches. Tinea versicolor can be treated with the help of a wide range of natural remedies. These remedies include herbs which are able to destroy the problem-causing pathogens within a short span of time.
Effective Treatment For Tinea Versicolor
This herb is known for its effectiveness in the treatment of various fungal infections. It can be applied locally to the affected area and can also be consumed in the form of supplements.
Garlic helps to destroy the malassezia furfur which is causing the problem. Garlic helps the discoloured skin to return to its normal colour as well. This herb can also be added to the food of the patient in order to increase its consumption.
Tea tree oil
This oil is extremely beneficial in the treatment of tinea versicolor and other fungal conditions. It must be applied locally to the affected area in order for it to be effective.
However, it is important to note that tea tree oil is rather strong and is capable of causing itching and burning on the skin. It must be diluted before applying it to the skin in order to avoid reactions. This oil must be used on a regular basis till the rashes heal up completely.
Candle bush
This shrub has been used to treat many cases of tinea versicolor. The leaves of this plant are used in the treatment of such problems. The extracts of the leaf are used to prepare topical ointments that can be used to treat such skin conditions. Candle bush is very mild on the skin and does not cause any side-effects. It is safe and can be used to treat children as well.
Aloe vera
Aloe vera is very beneficial in the treatment of tinea versicolor as it helps to get rid of the problem-causing pathogens within a short period of time. Aloe vera is extremely mild on the skin and can be used to treat very young children who have sensitive skin. It must be applied locally to the affected area and must be left in place for a sufficient amount of time.
This allows it to be absorbed by the skin and the pathogens are steadily destroyed. Aloe vera supplements can also be consumed orally in order to speed up the process of healing for the patient.

Once again, as Wall Street waited for happy hour, we Fools waded into 8-K filings that, if the timing is to be believed, executives would rather you not read.
Kicking off today's list is the filing from brewer Molson Coors (NYSE: TAP ) , which announced that Frits van Paasschen, president and chief executive officer of subsidiary Coors Brewing, is leaving the company. Molson Coors CEO Leo Kiely will assume van Paasschen's duties until a replacement is found.
Meanwhile, at Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN ) , chief information officer Rick Dalzell announced his intent to retire at the end of 2007. Dalzell joined Amazon a decade ago from Wal-Mart, where he was vice president of information systems.
If only Human Genome Sciences (Nasdaq: HGSI ) could get the same commitment from director Kevin Starr. Formerly the chief operating officer for Millennium Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: MLNM ) , Starr resigned on Thursday. He joined the board last year and was a member of the audit committee. I'll let you decide what that means, but it sure doesn't look good.
No more troops to sing a battle hymn for Republic
Others, such as Republic Airways (Nasdaq: RJET ) , which serves as a regional carrier for US Airways (NYSE: LCC ) , experienced a mass exodus.
According to its filing, US Airways will be taking back all the pilots it made available to Republic under a furlough program. Nice, but who will fly Republic's aircraft? Quoting from the filing:
Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2007 and extending into the first quarter of 2008, [Republic Airways] will spend approximately $3 million to train new pilots to replace those that are recalled. To the extent the Company is unable to train replacement pilots at a rate faster than it loses recalled pilots, the Company may have to temporarily reduce its U.S. Airways operation ... The Company expects to update this guidance, if necessary, during its 3rd quarter 2007 earnings call, which is anticipated to occur before the end of October 2007. [Emphasis mine.]
It's never easy being the minor league club, is it?
Still rectifying International Rectifier
But my favorite filing this week comes to you courtesy of International Rectifier (NYSE: IRF ) , which makes power management chips. Accounting problems persist at the company.
Most investors know that.
What's troubling is that the company's audit committee keeps finding errors. Here's the tally from last week:
In addition to accounting irregularities discovered in connection with the Company's ongoing investigation, the Company has identified issues associated with its transfer pricing methodology and other tax issues for its fiscal years 2002 through 2007. Review of potential tax liabilities, credits and related matters is currently under way. The Company has not yet completed its determination of the amount of additional tax liability, but believes the amount of any potential tax liability is material to income in fiscal years 2004 through 2007." [Emphasis mine.]
It goes on to list what seems to be a boatload of previously released data that "should not be relied upon." Investors now should ignore International Rectifier's reported numbers for at least 12 quarters since September 2003. Maybe they should ignore this stock, too.
Found a late filing we Fools should see? Let me know.
Amazon is a Stock Advisor selection. Wal-Mart is an Inside Value pick. Millennium Pharmaceuticals is a Rule Breakers recommendation. A 30-day pass to each of these services is yours for the asking. There's no obligation to subscribe.

I just received a replacement r15-100 and am having problem programming the remote to control my tv's input capabilities. I went through the steps and when I enter the 9-6-0, my television changes to channel 96 and I only get one green blink when I do this. The input function has worked with this tv using an identical dtv remote so I don't know if I am missing a step or what. The remote is an rc64...and just for the heck of it, I brought down my rc32 remote that controls the same manufacturer television upstairs, and it did control the input feature on the tv I'm having problems with.
Problem solved...I was not holding the mute and select down long enough to get the two blinks. Feel free to delete post moderator.

The record rain in April and above average precipitation for May have combined to reduce the rounds of golf — and accompanying overall revenue — to the lowest amounts many Central New York golf course operators can remember.
And the news gets worse. It's doubtful that even perfect weather the rest of the short golf season will allow courses to make up for the losses.
"This is our 41st season and it's the worst I've ever seen it," said Dick Snyder, who co-owns Arrowhead's 27-hole complex in East Syracuse with his wife, Peg. "We're way down in rounds played from last year because that was a banner year. In any ordinary year, we're probably down at least half. Compared to last year, it's more like three-quarters."
The picture was the same on the west and south sides of Onondaga County at Camillus Country Club and Tanner Valley.
"Compared to last year, we're down about 25 to 30 percent (in rounds played)," said Jivi Govender, general manager at Camillus CC. "That's about 2,500 rounds. In our 26-year history, this will definitely be among the top 2 worst. We also had a bad year in 2000 when we couldn't get carts out. At a (hilly) course like ours, if you can't get carts out, you're virtually closed."
At Tanner Valley, Anita Fisher, had no better news.
"It's the worst spring we've had since we took over the course six years ago," said Fisher, who, along with her brother/general manager Jim Burt, runs the 18-hole layout that has been in their family for 45 years. "We're down anywhere from 1,000 to 1,200 rounds, plus about 50 percent from the bar and restaurant. That was a big hit. My father only remembers one year when it was this bad, but that was in the late 1970s."
Fisher said the loss of greens fee and restaurant revenue was made worse by the costs it took for cleanup and repairs caused by spring storms.
"After having finished the normal winter cleanup, we basically had to turn around the next day and start all of the serious spring cleanup," she said. "We had to repair the bridges and had to put all of the cart paths back in because the crushed stone was washed out. Basically, we had double the manpower costs to clean up the course but were taking nothing in."
With warmer, drier weather arriving this week, none of the course operators was optimistic that the losses could be made up. The primary reason is that even though CNY golfers burn to get out and play in April, most tend to hang it up after Labor Day.
"I don't see how we can make it up," Govender said. "Every golf course has its slow periods during the day, and unless we get a sudden influx of golfers on a Monday morning at 7 o'clock or a Sunday afternoon at 5 — which is never the case — I don't see how any golf course can make it up."
Even a boost from perfect weather in September and October isn't likely to help.
"Everybody talks about the fall, but for the most part golfers are done after their league play ends; they're done after Labor Day," Govender said. "We see it all the time. We'll have a 70-degree day in October, but you still get the same amount of golf — maybe a few extra, but not enough sway our numbers for the year."
Fisher agreed.
"You can get fall play, but you're never going to get the kind of play you have in April," Fisher said Wednesday. "People are dying to get out in April, so even if it's not a great day, they're going to come out and play. The first sunny day in April you're mobbed. We didn't have that this year. ... But today's been a great day. We've been packed since 7:30 straight on through."
While the year has been a wash so far, all three course operators agreed that in the golf business you have to be prepared for such conditions, saving when years are good like last year, and biting the bullet when it's bad like this year.
"I was a dairy farmer before this and I was brought up to prepare for years like this," Snyder said. "But I'm glad that I'm not just starting out in this business."
