Chuck Prophet On Mountain Stage
Chuck Prophet makes his fifth appearance on Mountain Stage, live from the Culture Center Theater in Charleston, W.V. On the eve of Hurricane Sandy, Prophet was added to the lineup only hours before showtime, when another performer opted to return home before the storm hit. Prophet happened to be in the area — while en route to his West Coast home — when he agreed to make a detour.
Prophet rose to the occasion in a big way, even working up two free-wheeling rock numbers with the Mountain Stage band, drawn from his latest album Temple Beautiful, a tribute to his home city of San Francisco.
Prophet began his musical career in the early '80s, with the psychedelic-inspired rock band Green on Red. In addition to his highly regarded solo work (which frequently draws comparison to heavyweights like Tom Petty and Alex Chilton), Prophet is a sought-after producer, writer and guitarist, having worked with everyone from roots-rock icon Alejandro Escovedo to Warren Zevon.
Prophet is followed by Mountain Stage pianist Bob Thompson, with his timely reworking of Andy Williams' "Moon River."
Set List
- "Let Freedom Ring"
- "The Left Hand And The Right Hand"
- "Would You Love Me?"
- "Castro Halloween"
- "Willie Mays Up At Bat"
- Bob Thompson, "Moon River"

Severne Enigma & RedLine masts
What is the diference between this 2 masts?
Tech specs of Enigma mast : http://www.r3volution-mag.com/issue_01.php pages 66-67
Enigma vs RedLine:
- Heavier (thicker wall SDM => better durability; 97% carbon content)
- Red anti-UV dye & new anti-camber-wear/chafe finish
- New fiber's layup and building
- Pricier
- same bend curve as the RedLine
Cheers !
will enigma work on.....ncx and gator..
will enigma work well on ncx pro 6,5 and gator 5,5?
I cant see this mast as recommended or compatible for these sails
My local shop doesn´t have red line sdm 430 and I cant decide wether I should choose blue line 430 sdm or enigma 430 for these two sails
which is the best choice?
which mast makes the formula severne sails faster????
Hi MOP,
Yes it will work perfectly but don't need this hi-price mast for this sails, the Blue Line will be enough and still very good.
All the best
Hi Bubi,
In your case, the Enigma will be better, Racing always need the best of the best :)
All the best
Sorry guys but I think you've got it wrongly sorted out. Watch out for vastly different mast requirement between these 2 sails...!!! :
1) NCX Pro 6.5 m2 sail requires a 430 SDM mast ! RedLine 430 cm SDM is the recommended mast; alternatively, the BlueLine 430cm SDM is compatible. Another alternative is either a RedLine 460 cm SDM or a BlueLine 460 cm SDM mast.
2) Gator 5.5 m2 sail requires a 430 cm RDM mast ! RedLine 430 RDM is the recommend mast. Alternatively, a 460 cm RDM mast may fit from a manufacturer other than Severne. There are no BlueLine 430 or 460 cm RDM masts available.
The reason why each sail requires a different mast diameter is simple : NCX Pro 6.5 m2 is a freerace sail in which a SDM mast will provide more stability in the sail's draft and body while being under load. By contrast, the Gator 5.5 m2 requires a sturdier RDM mast, mainly to sustain the wave and freemove designed program and usage.
Cheers !
Isn't the new Gators working with SDM ? The last few years they did !?
The specs says that 460 will work, and I understand that this means SDM (as it doesn't say RDM as the recommended).
Gator size from 3.7 up to 6.0 required a RDM mast in 2009 and a SDM mast from size 6.5 up to 8.0 m2.
This is still true for 2010 and 2011... ;)
Be carefull about RDM and SDM masts from Severne: they do not have identical bend curves ! Severne RDM mast are rather hard top whereas Severne SDM mast are more constant curve, even for the the same IMCS flex value (430 cm/IMCS 21 or 460 cm/IMCS 25). It is always the best practice to match a sail that is cut for a RDM mast with a RDM mast as intended by the sail designer in order to get the best trim & performance results.
Cheers !

OREGON at UCLA
What: Pacific 10 Conference men's basketball at Pauley Pavilion
When: 7:30 p.m.
Records: UO 12-11, 5-6; UCLA 16-7, 7-3
TV/Radio: Comcast SportsNet Northwest/KXTG 95.5.
Starting lineups: UO – G Malcolm Armstead (3.6 apg), G Garrett Sim (8.1 ppg), F E.J. Singler (11.2 ppg), F Tyrone Nared (3.8 rpg), F Joevan Catron (16.0 ppg); UCLA – G Malcolm Lee (13.0 ppg), G Lazeric Jones (10.7 ppg), G Jerime Anderson (2.9 apg), F Tyler Honeycutt (13.0 ppg), F Reeves Nelson (8.8 rpg).
Noteworthy: On Jan. 15, UCLA gave the Ducks their only loss in four games at Matthew Knight Arena, 67-59. … The Bruins lead the all-time series 80-29 but lost both games to the Ducks last season. … Both teams come into this one on a roll: Oregon has won four of five, and UCLA seven of eight. … The Bruins have been going with a three-guard lineup lately not only because of zone defenses but also to keep big Josh Smith out of foul trouble. Coach Ben Howland figures there are usually a lot of early whistles, and he doesn't want Smith to pick up a cheap one. … Oregon's starting point guard will be a game-time decision, as coach Dana Altman could go with Malcolm Armstead over usual starter Johnathan Loyd, who is battling a sore leg. … Forward Jeremy Jacob (knee) is questionable.

EWING — The Allentown softball team's star seems to be rising, and it couldn't have come at a better time.
Across the field, the Redbirds' counterparts from the other side of the turnpike are in need of a rebound, a need that could hardly come at a worse time.
On a day when both were awarded No. 1 seeds in their respective NJSIAA sectional tournaments, Allentown routed Robbinsville 8-1 to capture the school's first Mercer County Tournament championship.
"It's huge for the school," Allentown coach Bob Dubina said. "It's the only thing that softball hasn't won. We've won the division, we won the state championship, and I think it gives us a lot of motivation going into the state tournament."
While the Redbirds will take a 13-game winning streak into today's 4 p.m. Monmouth County Tournament semifinal at top-seeded St. John Vianney, the Ravens, who saw their two-season, 37-game win streak snapped by Allentown on May 2, have now lost three of their last six games.
During that span, aside from a 13-run lashing of Princeton in the Mercer quarterfinal, Robbinsville has scored as many as three runs in a game only once. That came Wednesday night in an 11-inning Mercer semifinal win over Notre Dame.
As the Redbirds received their trophies, Robbinsville coach Christine Cabarle talked about the search for an answer.
"I hope to figure it out in the next 24 hours," Cabarle said of regrouping. "I just think we've struggled this year with holding on, and we let go of the rope today. (Allentown is) a great team. Fall asleep for one second, and they're going to capitalize on it."
Allentown just has to keep the good times rolling. That won't be easy against the Lancers, the No. 1 seed in the NJSIAA Non-Public A South bracket at 18-2, and sophomore pitcher Katie Beriont.
"Can we come off this high and play well? I think we're going to," Dubina said. "We scrimmaged them (March 17) and were competitive, so after this, we're pretty sure we can play with them."
Perhaps a confidence builder ahead of facing Beriont today, Allentown enjoyed great success against lauded Robbinsville pitcher Lauren Fischer as the game wore on.
Though Fischer mowed through the first two innings, she gave up a run on three hits in the third and five runs on four hits in the fourth. Bryana Smith helped break it open with a two-run double.
That put Allentown ahead 6-1, and the next two innings saw the Redbirds add another run in each at bat.
"Hopefully (the win) just gives us momentum going into the game," Allentown senior shortstop Dana Sensi said. "Everyone on the team is hitting really well right now.
(Tournament MVP) Maddie (Brunck) is crushing the ball and a lot of people got nice hits today."
Allentown 8, Robbinsville 1
Allentown (24-2) 001 511 0 – 8 11 0
Robbinsville (15-3) 100 000 0 – 1 9 1
2B—A: Bryana Smith. RBI—R: Lauren Fischer; A: Smith 3, Maddie Brunck 1, Erin Drennan 1, Erica Nugent 1, Jane Minar 1.
WP—Hayley Peterson (17-2). LP—Lauren Fischer (15-3).

text: April is Autism Awareness Month, and autism spectrum disorders are big news lately. Autism spectrum disorder now encompasses autism, Asperger's and pervasive developmental disorder, making autism more common than Down syndrome, mental retardation, and cystic fibrosis combined. But even as overall diagnoses climb to one in 88 people - double the figure from just five years ago - the American Psychiatric Association is working on redefining autism spectrum disorder. Even so, the term isn't well understood, eliciting negative reactions like fear.

I wonder if dear Angie ever had to tackle such linguistic obstacles. Though, I suppose with a cleavage like that you don't have to worry about whether your Italian or French counter party is listening to you or not.
Unless you're a native speaker of a language, you are always going to face the inevitable infiltration of your mother tongue into your borrowed tongue. Since living in the German speaking part of Switzerland and interacting with German speakers on a daily basis, I've noticed some mistakes in English that seem to be made universally by almost all German speakers. I don't know whether this is entirely due to people directly translating from German to English or whether German speakers have spread these common errors amongst themselves. Either way, I find it amusing how a linguistic conglomerate will consistently make the same mistakes when speaking English, and I'm sure this extends beyond German speakers, but it's not something I've noticed as much in Italian, I have to say.
So, here's a list of commonly made mistakes, according to me.
This one is clear – in German, to say that you've lived in Zurich for three years, you would say, "seit drei Jahren". Seit meaning since, of course. So, understandably, many German speakers say, "I have been a skier since ten years", instead of "I have been a skier for ten years." I'm pretty sure English speakers must do the opposite when learning German.
How does it look like?
This is understandably confusing. In English you can say:
"How does it look?" or
"what does it look like?"
In German you say, "wie sieht es aus?"
Wie=how and I guess the aus at the end in German makes German speakers want to add an extra syllable at the end of the English version, without realising that only works when you switch to what instead of how.
I would tend to differ between the two English options listed depending on context, but essentially, they are more or less interchangeable.
At some point in time
This is one I hear surprisingly often. I admit I'm not sure why German speakers say it. My boyfriend was unable to shed any light on the matter either.
In English, or at least the English I was brought up speaking, you would refer to an occurrence that took place at a vague point in time as having happened at some point. I'm not sure you could say that "at some point in time" is strictly incorrect per se, because grammatically it isn't, it's more the case that English speakers abbreviate it to "at some point", so the former sounds unnatural.
To stay, instead of stand
This one's logical, in German to stand is stehen, which essentially makes it a false friend.
If a German person turns to you on the train and says, "shall we just stay?", they are unlikely to be suggesting that you root yourself to the spot and make a new home of the vehicle, rather, they are dismissing the notion of hustling for a seat.
So to say
Again, one could easily do the same going the other way: so zu sprechen. In German you'd say, so zu sagen, resulting in many German speakers opting for say, rather than speak.
To make party
This one's sort of endearing, if you ask me. In German it's party machen. Machen is one of those words that confuse the hell out of German learners at the beginning, I think, or perhaps I'm alone on this one.
Just know that if a German speaker suggests you go out to make party with them, they are seeking a place in which they can enjoy a bit of a piss up coupled with dancing.
"I can explain you."
A bit of a harrowing prospect when the words come from your boss's mouth, for example. Relax, this is not an attempt to dissect your psychological makeup, the person is hoping to explain something to you.
The look on people's faces when you say "thank you for inviting me" at the end of any sort of gathering that racks up a bill at the end is priceless. Many people will misconstrue your politeness as an encroachment on their goodwill. In German, einladen, in such a situation, means that the invitee's bill is being settled by the inviter.
I do chuckle when German speakers will correct me by saying, "oh, you don't mean that I'm going to invite, you, I see. Ho ho ho." Rather than acknowledge the linguistic misunderstanding they have undergone in your language, they will correct the social mishap on your part.
People often look confused if I say something like, "oh, I'm sure I'll get hungry eventually". This is a false friend, my friends. Eventuell is the German word for maybe. So if I declare I'm sure of something that will maybe happen, it can cause ripples of confusion through a room full of German speakers.
She's getting a baby
I like this one. If I could get a baby that is a perfect combination of my own genes and my partner's, I would certainly opt for that method as opposed to squeezing one out myself one day. In English we have babies, at least we women do, and in German one gets, as in bekommen, a baby.
But don't think I'm letting myself off lightly. I make plenty of mistakes in German in a very similar fashion.
Mit keine
The word for without in German is ohne, but the word with embedded in without in English had me tripping up at first. I kept saying, mit kein…whoops. It's even grammatically incorrect, but I didn't know what the dative form even was back then.
Arme mich
When feeling sorry for yourself, you could say, poor me in English as a casual alternative to "oh woe is me". If you say this in German, people will snigger. Trust me. I would have to step outside my own body and address myself in the third person and say, arme Christine. I've opted instead to just exaggerate my sad face when in doubt.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver were each spotted having lunch out but not together. Arnold was seen grabbing some lunch with friends. He seems to be in high spirits after finishing the promotional tour for his memoir, 'Total Recall.' I don't know how it's selling, but the snippets I've heard (I haven't read it) haven't left me too impressed. Are you planning on reading it? I'm guessing Arnold's fans don't care about his infidelities.
Meanwhile, Maria Shriver had lunch with their daughter, Catherine. The mother-daughter duo were seen leaving the Brentwood Country Mart after eating there. She seems to be doing well as the revelations from Arnold's memoir hit the media. I'm not sure what I'd be doing in her shoes, but Maria seems to be handling it all well.

MADISON, Alabama -- The Madison City Council, by a 5-2 vote, amended the 2009 half-cent
sales tax, freeing schools to spend excess tax revenue on any needs
beyond paying off debt for the new James Clemens High School.
Council members voting in favor of amendment were Tim Holcombe, Jerry Jennings, Tommy Overcash, Larry Vannoy and Ronica Ondocsin. Voting against were Steve Haraway and Tim Cowles.
Mayor Paul Finley requested the vote, five days after last week's public forum on the tax issue. Citizen comments during Wednesday's meeting at Bob Jones High School overwhelming favored the amendment.
The city council enacted the half-cent tax in 2009, restricting revenue for paying off the $30 million state school bond for the new high school.
The Madison economy has done better than projected three years ago, and the school system found an even better loan. It initially expected to pay back 85 percent of bond money but recently learned it's eligible for a state BRAC bond that required paying back only half.
Haraway, who will leave the council next month to join the Madison County Commission, said he opposed the amendment because using fluctuating sale tax revenue is a bad way to pay off bonds, especially when the city forecasts revenue based on only two and half years of data.
The 2011 tax revenue is skewed because there was a lot of rebuilding and repairs that occurred after the tornado outbreak, he added.
The council promised citizens in 2009 it would replace the sales tax with a property tax, and since local legislative members have yet to get a tax vote in place, Haraway said the city should wait until such a vote and approval occurs.
Cowles said he wasn't against the amendment, but he didn't see the need to rush into the vote, considering the city still has a year to apply for the BRAC bond. He said he preferred to wait until after Jan. 1, when the city can review its holiday tax revenue.
Vannoy said the urgency for approving the amendment is that the school system has needs now and approval allows school officials to start planning how to use the money.
Overcash said if the council waits until a property tax gets on the ballot, it could be two years before the schools can start using the extra revenue.
The half-cent tax initially was expected to generate $2.3 million annually. A school analysis showed the tax in 2012 will earn $833,000 above what was expected.
At Wednesday's public meeting, school officials cited a long list of capital needs, valued at $44 million, as reasons for requesting the excess revenue.
Five parents spoke in favor of the amendment during the meeting, and three of those asked for the schools to use the money to build a new 50-meter pool that both high schools could share.
Gun Abele, a parent with children in Madison schools, said she wouldn't fault the council for altering its initial tax plan because revising plans is a daily way of life.
"Would you not take advantage of a reduced interest if it was offered to you," she said. "You would be foolish not to."
The lone citizen to speak against the amendment was Tom Scovill. The Triana resident called the BRAC bond "coercion," forcing local governments to borrow money to get the state loan."If they want to give the money to help schools, they should just give the money," Scovill said, adding that if Madison gets the money, it should build a new school in Triana.
This story was update at 8:35 p.m. with comments from council members.

- Location: Bamberg, (Germany)
More than 450 exoplanets have currently been detected, most of them by the radial velocity (RV) technique. While the majority of exoplanets have been found around main‐sequence (MS) FGK stars (M⩽1.5M⊙), only a small fraction (∼10%) have been discovered orbiting post‐MS stars. However, such stars are known to host exoplanets and the detection fraction appears to be larger than for solar‐type dwarfs. To date ∼30 planets have been found orbiting giant stars which have revealed interesting properties that contrast with the results found for solar‐type stars. We are carrying out a RV search for planets around giant stars in the southern hemisphere in order to study different formation scenarios for planets around intermediate‐mass stars and the effect of the post‐MS evolution of the host stars on the orbits of close‐in planets (a 0.6 AU).

Jon Gosselin's reality is of a new kind.
The once thriving famous father on the TLC reality show "Jon & Kate Plus 8" is now waiting tables.
While his ex-wife Kate and their eight children remained in the couple's $1.3 million Pennsylvania home, Gosselin tells Entertainment Tonight in a new interview that he's struggled to adjust since his divorce and the conclusion of the show.
Gosselin, 36, says it's "next to near impossible to find work" and he lives a more modest life.
The former reality TV star now lives in a cabin, with no internet or TV, he says.
So, in his new gig, Gosselin is waiting tables at a Pennsylvania restaurant.
"At first I was nervous because I was like, 'How are people going to react?' " he says. "But then I'm thinking, 'Well it's fun and I get to talk to people.' And they technically already know me. ... they're like 'Are you the guy?' I'm like, 'Yeah, I'm the guy.' "
And though he's hit rock bottom "about 20 times" since splitting from Kate, he says, he insists he has no regrets.
"I don't regret anything," he says. "You learn from your mistakes. That's what builds you to who you are today."

Hi Everyone,
I have a question about crew accommodations away from bases: are crews required to stay in the hotel designated by their airline, or can they stay somewhere else within reason at their own expense? For example, let's say a flight attendant based out of New York has extended family living in Chicago, less than an hour from ORD. Would he/she be allowed to stay with his/her family overnight, or would he/she need to remain at the airline's hotel? What about if the attendant had friends, not family, living in Chicago--would the same opportunity be present to stay with friends?
Thanks for your thoughts,

Deafness and Ridge DNA Tests...Coming Soon!
The Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of the United States is pleased to announce that two genetic mutations affecting the Rhodesian Ridgeback have recently been found: for deafness and the ridge.
Details on the DNA tests will be posted here as soon as they are available, so please check back often.
Ridgeback breeders have long surmised that the ridge is likely a simple dominant trait. The mutation that causes the ridge was recently found by a consortium of researchers at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (Nicolette Salmon Hillbertz, Goran Andersson, et al), Uppsala University (Leif Andersson, et al) and the Broad Institute (Kerstin Lindblad-Toh, et al).
The scientists found that the ridge results from a duplication of a region in the genome that contains genes for the fibroblast growth factor (FGF), which play a crucial role in development. The ridge mutation leads to a defect in the planar cell polarity system, which is needed for both the normal orientation of hair follicles and for neural-tube closure.
The study also found that Ridgebacks with two copies of the dominant ridge mutation were at a higher risk of developing the congenital health defect dermoid sinus than those with just one copy.
Click here for an explanation of how ridge genetics works.
Heritable Deafness
Mark Neff and his team of researchers at the University of California at Davis have located the mutation that causes this breed-specific defect in the Ridgeback.
Here are some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about this disease.
Q. How common is deafness in the Rhodesian Ridgeback?
While it is not widespread, deafness is also not a rarity in our breed. It seems to occur in pockets of the breed population. We will soon have a direct marker test that, if used properly, can guarantee that breeders never produce a deaf Ridgeback.
Q. Is deafness in Ridgebacks the same as deafness in Dalmatians?
A. No, it is very different. In Dalmatians and other breeds with white markings, deafness is connected to the presence of white. By contrast, deafness in Ridgebacks is not related to color what geneticists call "non-syndromic."
Q. Can deafness be diagnosed with a BAER (brainstem auditory evoked response) test at 8 weeks old?
A. Unfortunately, not always. Deafness in Ridgeback puppies is progressive, and many deaf puppies are hearing at 8 weeks. They begin to go deaf soon after, and from the information we have available, all are bilaterally deaf by nine to 12 months, if not sooner.
Q. How is deafness inherited in Ridgebacks?
A. Deafness in Ridgebacks is a simple autosomal recessive that is, two non-deaf dogs that each carry the gene for deafness can produce deaf puppies if bred together. In such carrier-to-carrier breedings, each puppy has a 25 percent chance of becoming deaf.
Q. How can I guarantee that I never produce a deaf Ridgeback?
A. Thanks to the invaluable cooperation of some dedicated Ridgeback breeders and owners, researchers at the University of California at Davis have isolated the genetic mutation that causes deafness in the Rhodesian Ridgeback. They are now in the process of creating a simple cheek-swab test that can identify which dogs are carriers for deafness.
Q. What combinations produce deafness?
A. Breeding two dogs that are carriers (even if they themselves can hear) will eventually produce deaf puppies.
Breeding carriers to non-carriers will NOT produce deafness.
Q. So can deafness carriers be bred?
A. Yes, as long as they are bred to dogs that have a non-carrier, or clear status, confirmed by the future marker test.
The only time deafness results is if two carriers are bred together. A carrier bred to a non-carrier will produce all hearing offspring, though a percentage of the offspring will be carriers themselves.
Q. Can the offspring of carrier-to-non-carrier breedings be bred?
A. Yes, certainly, with the proper testing. Breeders will have to perform the direct-marker test on any breeding stock resulting from the carrier-to-clear breeding. If the offspring is clear, it can be bred to any other dog, including a carrier. If the offspring is a carrier, then, like its parent, it can only be bred to a clear dog.
The ultimate purpose of using genetic marker tests is for breeders to eventually replace carrier breeding stock with non-carriers. But if the best, soundest, most typey dog in the litter is a carrier, then it is certainly ethical to keep that dog and breed it, provided that any dog that it is bred to is a non-carrier, as confirmed by the direct-marker test.
Q. What dogs should be screened with this direct-marker test?
A. Every Rhodesian Ridgeback in a breeding program should have its deafness status established with this genetic test once it is available, which should be sometime in 2007.
Q. I have never had deafness in my line. Why should I have the direct-marker test done on my dogs?
A. Because the direct-marker test is the only definitive way to know if your dog is a carrier or not. Recessive traits like deafness can snake through a pedigree for many generations before surfacing. The direct marker test is 100 percent accurate. Why allow for even a sliver of uncertainty with a disease as serious and devastating as deafness?
Q. How much does the test cost?
A. The direct-market test will be offered by VGL, the laboratory at the University of California at Davis. While details of the test are still pending, most similar tests at the lab cost in the $40 to $60 range.
Q. If both the sire and dam of a puppy test clear (i.e., are non-carriers), won't all their offspring be clear? And if so, do I need to retest?
A. Yes, the offspring of clear-to-clear breedings will all be clear, and do not have the potential to produce deafness no matter who they are bred to.
However, for the time being, we are encouraging breeders to formally submit tests on such presumed clear offspring.
Very preliminary discussions with other breed clubs that have been using similar direct-marker tests has made us aware of issues that can compromise the "cleared status" of offspring, such as mistaken parentage (i.e. a different sire than the one that was tested). This has led to some presumed clear puppies in fact being carriers.
At this early point in the process -- and until we thoroughly investigate the pitfalls and find reasonable solutions to these concerns -- we recommend that offspring not be presumed clear unless they have been tested themselves. We recognize that this incurs a nominal cost for the breeder, but think that the peace of mind is well worth it.
Q. Are there any other kinds of deafness in the Rhodesian Ridgeback?
A. As far as we know, the bilateral (two-ear) deafness caused by the genetic mutation found by the UC Davis team is the only deafness in the breed. We have run across a handful of dogs with unilateral (one-ear) hearing loss in the breed, but thus far there is no evidence to suggest that it is related to the bilateral deafness caused by this genetic mutation.
In dogs, there are many different kinds of deafness caused by various genetic mutations. But at this time, there is no indication that any other form of heritable deafness occurs in the Rhodesian Ridgeback.
Q. I test all my breeding stock with BAER testing. Is this necessary now?
A. Not once the direct-marker test is made available. Because the test can tell us the genetic makeup of the parents, it essentially renders BAER testing obsolete for those dogs whose parents have been tested.
Q. Where can I find more information on the direct-marker test's availability, or get answers to more questions I have on deafness breeding protocols in Ridgebacks?
A. Updates will be available on the home page of the RRCUS Health & Genetics web site at www.RhodesianRidgebackHealth.org.

Aaron Skonecki piled up nine saves -- including four beauties in the second half -- as Red Land sidestepped a frantic Mechanicsburg rally before carding a 1-0 triumph in the semifinal round of the District 3-AAA boys' soccer playoffs Wednesday night at Hersheypark Stadium.
Sean Fettrow netted the lone goal for the Patriots (15-6-0), who rode their 10th consecutive victory into Saturday's 3-AAA championship game (3 p.m.) at Hersheypark Stadium. Red Land, which has blanked four straight opponents, also locked up its second berth in the state playoffs in three seasons.
Up next for Eric "Chalkie" White's club will be Mid-Penn Commonwealth Division playmate Central Dauphin, which shrugged off Warwick 3-2 in the other Hersheypark Stadium scrap.
Mechanicsburg (15-7-0), meanwhile, will play Warwick in Saturday night's third-place game at Northeastern High School in Manchester. Only the winner will reach states.
Camp Hill (15-5-1) also advanced to Saturday's Hersheypark Stadium three-bagger, besting York Catholic 2-0 in a Class A semi at Hershey High School. Robbie Snyder and Ryan Polly netted goals for the Lions, who led 1-0 at the halftime break.
Jason Updegraff needed to make just one save for Camp Hill, which has conceded just five shots in its three District 3-A wins. The Lions, who have won the last two District 3-A titles, will meet Biglerville in Saturday's 11 a.m. title game.
Camp Hill bested Biglerville 2-1 (overtime) to win last year's 3-A championship.

STATEN ISLAND-- A Grymes Hill resident thought beefed-up security at the Malaysian airport from which flight MH 370 vanished on Saturday was odd, but he had no idea how serious the situation was until he landed.
Thomas Adinolfi is a tropical commodities broker, who trades palm and coconut oils for his import/export company VegTrop. He makes annual trips to Malaysia for his business, but returning last Saturday from Kuala Lumpur International Airport was not his usual experience.
"What's ironic is that security was tight," Adinolfi said. "Just before we boarded the plane for Hong Kong security came in and set up these tables. They wanted to look through all your carry-on bags."
Adinolfi uses a breathing machine, which security carefully scrutinized, dissembled and reassembled during its search.
"This is strange because it was the third time security checked us," Adinolfi recalled. "It's also kind of strange that they kept things things under wraps, but maybe it's better that way."
He used Cathay Pacific Airlines, which has a gate next to Malaysia Airlines at Kuala Lumpur.
Adinolfi said officials and security, although acting strange, did not hint that anything serious was occurring, and he had no idea what was going on with Flight 370 until he came home.
Adinolfi flew from Kuala Lumpur to Hong Kong landing at Kennedy Airport -- a 26-hour trip-- before he heard news of the missing flight.
When he was told of what happened, Adinolfi borrowed a stranger's cell phone to immediately call his family to let them know he was fine.
"It's good to be home; it was a crazy experience," he added.
There are many reports of how long the plane was in flight after losing contact, if it turned around, possible terrorism and what ultimately happened to the Boeing 777 and its 239 passengers. All the public knows is that the plane mysteriously vanished.
Staten Islanders were last touched by an international terror incident involving a plane back in December of 1988, when some residents were among the 270 killed by Libyan terrorists, who blew up Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland after it took off from London.
And in 1960 the Island was part of another air disaster, involving a midair collision between United Airlines Flight 826 and Trans World Airlines Flight 266, which crashed on Miller Field in New Dorp. The United Airlines flight crashed in Park Slope, Brooklyn. All 128 passengers on both planes were killed as well as six people on the ground.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- In the hours leading up to his rehab appearance on Tuesday night, Yankees left-hander Andy Pettitte reminded himself to resist his first instinct, to avoid breaking hard off the mound if he was forced to cover a base.
But Pettitte said before Saturday night's game with the Rangers that he's finished imposing such restrictions on himself, another indication that he has entered the homestretch of an arduous rehab from a strained left groin.
"Next game, literally, that won't enter my mind," said Pettitte, who has been on the disabled list since leaving his start on July 19. "I feel comfortable enough where I feel like it will be a reaction when I break."
That next game comes on Tuesday night with Double-A Trenton, in an Eastern League championship series game at Altoona (Pa.) If Pettitte gets past the final hurdle with no issue, he's in line to rejoin the team and start next Sunday against the Orioles.
Pettitte said he would throw a bullpen on Saturday and follow it up with a short session on Sunday, sticking with his regular routine between starts.
"I feel like I'm a healthy player and I'm good to go now," Pettitte said. "It's just about building it back up."
A breather for Jeter
Derek Jeter got the day off on Saturday, one night after going 1-for-7, including a weak groundout in extra innings to strand the potential go-ahead run at third base.
Jeter is hitting .197 over the last month, a slump that has caused a 20-point drop in his batting average, which stands at just .260. Jeter is mired in a 6-for-47 slump (.128).
"He's struggling, I don't think there's any question he's struggling," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "You always have that decision: Does he need a day off to get back on track or does he does he need to keep playing to get back on track? And you really never know the answer."
Yet, Giardi said the primary motivation for the day off is to give Jeter a breather after Friday night's marathon game.
"Today's day off is more that he played 5 hours, 15 minutes last night," he said.
Jeter fouled a ball off his right knee on Friday night though he remained in the game. Jeter said the knee is not an issue.
Said Jeter: "I'm am fine."
Girardi said Alex Rodriguez will likely get a day off on Sunday. ... Jorge Posada (mild concussion) remains an option to pinch-hit though he won't be able to catch until Sunday. ... The Yankees called up Kevin Russo and Juan Miranda from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after the team was knocked out of the International League playoffs on Saturday.... Girardi said he will check to see how Mariano Rivera feels after his two-inning stint on Friday night. Girardi must determine whether he's an option out of the bullpen on Saturday, though he said the rest of the arms are at his disposal. ... Starting pitcher A.J. Burnett shaved his head. ... The Yankees will don white caps featuring NY logos stylized with touches of the American flag to commemorate the anniversary of 9/11.

FREMONT, MI – A plant that turns food waste into energy in Fremont may be a model for renewable energy elsewhere, its backers say.
The $22 million Fremont Community Digester takes food waste from food-processing plants and agricultural operations and uses bacteria to digest it, producing methane and a "slurry" that will be sold as fertilizer. The methane will be burned to produce electricity.
The plant, developed by Michigan-based Novi Energy, will have an opening ceremony Wednesday. It is located in the Fremont Industrial Park at 1634 Locust St.
Novi Energy CEO Anand Gangadharan said a representative from the World Bank who works with sustainable energy is coming to see the plant, as are people in the energy business in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa.
"This is the most advanced biodigester plant that I know of," he said. "This is unlike ethanol, where you're taking an actual food crop."
The plant is gradually stepping up production, Gangadharan said, and if all goes according to plan it will reach capacity by December. When all of the tanks are filled and digesting, the plant will produce enough electricity for about 1,500 homes and sell it to Consumers Energy, he said.
United States Department of Agriculture Michigan Rural Development Director James Turner said digesters like the one in Fremont have "tremendous potential" in Michigan.
"Lowell is currently exploring a similar project, as are other communities," he said. "Livestock operations can also utilize this technology, reducing their environmental impact and also reducing our dependence on imported energy."

Note: Story contains some graphic content
PICTOU ŌĆō A provincial court judge has asked for some time to weigh legal arguments before sentencing a 20-year-old Pictou Landing man found guilty of sexual assault.
Maurice Julien Denny was found guilty in October of sexually assaulting an 18-year-old woman in December 2012, but the Crown and defence are far apart on reaching any kind of agreement as to what his punishment should be.
Crown Attorney Jody McNeill asked Pictou Provincial Court Judge Del Atwood to consider a sentence that included nine months in custody followed by 12 monthsŌĆÖ probation while the defence lawyer Stephen Robertson said his client didnŌĆÖt deserve jail time.
ŌĆ£I am asking the court not to put this young man in jail at all,ŌĆØ he said during the sentencing, adding if the court does think custody is warranted, that it be an intermittent sentence so Denny can finish his schooling at the Nova Scotia Community College.
Denny was charged in connection with an incident on Dec. 12, 2012, when he visited a girl he knew at her home in the middle of the night. The girl testified that she and Denny had ŌĆ£hooked upŌĆØ in the past, but she wasnŌĆÖt interested in being with him on this particular evening. Denny, who admitted he had been drinking alcohol that night, followed her into a shed next to the home and started touching her private areas. At one point, the girl said he had lowered her to the ground and she had to bite his shoulder to get him off of her.
Denny testified the pair kissed and he stopped when she told him she couldnŌĆÖt be with him anymore because of his girlfriend. He admitted to police that he touched her vagina over her clothing, but later said he felt pressured by police to say this had happened.
During the reading of the verdict, Atwood said he found the victimŌĆÖs testimony credible while DennyŌĆÖs testimony came across as self-serving.
Robertson said his client understands the seriousness of what happened, but he believes Denny doesnŌĆÖt need to be locked away in order to protect society. He said his client has the support of his family, is respected in his community and only has one prior criminal conviction that is unrelated to the sexual assault.
ŌĆ£This is a quiet young man and alcohol made him disinhibited and reckless,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£He didnŌĆÖt want to wait to see what the young complainant would decide. It was wrong, but it doesnŌĆÖt reach the level of incarceration.ŌĆØ
McNeill disagreed with Robertson saying ŌĆ£digital penetration is considered by the courts to be a major sexual assault.ŌĆØ He added that a lot of ŌĆ£victim blamingŌĆØ came up in DennyŌĆÖs pre-sentence report and he mentioned that DennyŌĆÖs attendance record at NSCC is not good.
Atwood reserved his decision until Jan. 13, but not before Denny was given an opportunity to address the court.
ŌĆ£I am sorry to take up all this time,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£I can get back to school and finish it up.ŌĆØ

The Salvager restores internal consistency to corrupted read/write volumes on the local file server machine where possible. For read-only or backup volumes, it inspects only the volume header:
Unlike other server process initialization commands, the salvager command is designed to be issued at the command shell prompt, as well as being placed into a file server machine's /etc/openafs/BosConfig file with the bos create command. It is also possible to invoke the Salvager remotely by issuing the bos salvage command.
Combine the command's options as indicated to salvage different numbers of read/write volumes:
The Salvager normally salvages only those read/write volumes that are marked as having been active when a crash occurred. To have it salvage all relevant read/write volumes, add the -force flag.
The Salvager normally creates new inodes as it repairs damage. If the partition is so full that there is no room for new inodes, use the -nowrite argument to bringing undamaged volumes online without attempting to salvage damaged volumes. Then use the vos move command to move one or more of the undamaged volumes to other partitions, freeing up the space that the Salvager needs to create new inodes.
By default, multiple Salvager subprocesses run in parallel: one for each partition up to four, and four subprocesses for four or more partitions. To increase or decrease the number of subprocesses running in parallel, provide a positive integer value for the -parallel argument.
If there is more than one server partition on a physical disk, the Salvager by default salvages them serially to avoid the inefficiency of constantly moving the disk head from one partition to another. However, this strategy is often not ideal if the partitions are configured as logical volumes that span multiple disks. To force the Salvager to salvage logical volumes in parallel as if they were on separate disks, provide the string "all" as the value for the -parallel argument.
To set both parameters at the same time, append the number of Salvager processes to the string "all". For example, "-parallel all5" treats each partition as a separate disk and runs five Salvager processes, thus salvaging five partitions at a time.
The Salvager creates temporary files as it runs, by default writing them to the partition it is salvaging. The number of files can be quite large, and if the partition is too full to accommodate them, the Salvager terminates without completing the salvage operation (it always removes the temporary files before exiting). Other Salvager subprocesses running at the same time continue until they finish salvaging all other partitions where there is enough disk space for temporary files. To complete the interrupted salvage, reissue the command against the appropriate partitions, adding the -tmpdir argument to redirect the temporary files to a local disk directory that has enough space.
The -orphans argument controls how the Salvager handles orphaned files and directories that it finds on server partitions it is salvaging. An orphaned element is completely inaccessible because it is not referenced by the vnode of any directory that can act as its parent (is higher in the filespace). Orphaned objects occupy space on the server partition, but do not count against the volume's quota.
To generate a list of all mount points that reside in one or more volumes, rather than actually salvaging them, include the -showmounts flag.
This command does not use the syntax conventions of the AFS command suites. Provide the command name and all option names in full.
The BOS Server never starts more Salvager subprocesses than there are partitions, and always starts only one process to salvage a single volume. If this argument is omitted, up to four Salvager subprocesses run in parallel but partitions on the same device are salvaged serially.
where index is a two-digit number that uniquely identifies each object. The orphans are charged against the volume's quota and appear in the output of the ls command issued against the volume's root directory.
% /usr/lib/openafs/salvager -partition /vicepg -volumeid 258347486

La Maratona Verticale challenges runners at Copper Mountain
July 29, 2014
As with most first-year events, it's often more about future potential than immediate success. That would appear to have been the case this weekend with the first running of La Maratona Verticale Saturday at Copper Mountain Resort. While only 38 runners participated in the inaugural full- and half-marathon trail runs, those who crossed the finish line of the arduous course did so with smiles and a vision for growth.
"It was pretty exhausting and beautiful at the same time," Zach King, 28, of Golden said after crossing the finish line seventh overall. "I love these kinds of races."
As part of the new U.S. SkyRunner Series — an offshoot of the existing international SkyRunner World Series — this weekend's race had certain elevation gain requirements to qualify as a skyrunning event.
Already popular in Europe, skyrunning and ultra running are growing disciplines of endurance racing now gaining momentum in the U.S.
"Races like this will help grow the sport," King said of La Maratona. "It's a huge addiction once you start going."
Based on SkyRunner classifications, a sky run qualifies as a race between 22K and 50K (13 to 31 miles) that includes 4,265 feet of positive vertical gain. An ultra run follows similar guidelines but is run on a course more than 31 miles in length and can include even more elevation gain. Both categories qualify predominantly as trail runs with minimal paved portions on the course.
"I think you're going to see skyrunning growing in the next few years," race organizer James Gill said.
Regarding the lower than anticipated turnout he added, "I think there's a little bit of an intimidation factor." He still expects the event to grow substantially by word of mouth, as can often be the case with first-year events. It's not uncommon for a well-organized race to grow exponentially between its first and second year.
As for the course itself, Gill described Copper Mountain as a "hidden gem" for trail running, and those participating agreed.
"The views were spectacular," first-place finisher Eric Ebeling, 24, said. "The trail running is so much fun."
The first-time marathoner ran the course in 4 hours, 3 minutes, 1 second.
Accomplished endurance runner Stevie Kremer of Crested Butte finished first among women and third overall in 4:10:12.
The marathon course included around 7,000 feet of elevation gain as runners navigated portions of Copper Mountain's extensive trail network.
Even with the lower turnout, race organizers said they were pleased with the event and believe it could grow substantially in year two.
"I think it went really well," race spokeswoman Alyssa Godesky said after the race. "The buzz we've been hearing from the running community is really strong."
Copper Mountain will hold a second endurance race later this summer when the Ultra Race of Champions (UROC) 100K returns to Colorado Sept. 6. Last year's UROC featured a course that started in Breckenridge and finished in Vail. This year's race will both start and end at Copper. In addition to the 100K there will also be a 50K and half marathon. Over 300 runners participated in the three races combined last year including a number of elite ultra runners.
La Maratona Verticle will wrap up Sunday with a Vertical K 5K. Runners will start near midmountain and race to Copper's summit on a course that will include around 4,000 feet of gain.

traveling to sanibel and need help finding the perfect accomodation.
I want to travel to Sanibel or Captiva Islands - I am looking for accommodation, but I find it very hard to make a decision based exclusively on online research. I would welcome any advice on where to stay. I am not very fond of big chain hotels like Holiday Inn's etc.... I much prefer small motels or self-catered cabins, but I am afraid to book a shabby place because online everything looks pristine..... so, ideally I would love to find a small motel or cabin by the sea, in a quiet part of town. Another thing to consider is that I am traveling with my parents and our baby, therefore I am looking for places that have a apt-like layout, with ideally the choice of one or two bedrooms and a kitchenette. Any advice on this and other must-see, must-eat, must-do attractions would be greatly appreciated.

Bank help one card short of a full deck
Related topics
It seemed simple. Pop into HSBC on a visit to England - it is the "world's local bank" - and check my account. I poked my card into an ATM in Taunton, a town in the southwest. I got my balance, but no option for a mini-statement to show recent transactions. Inside, the helpful branch manager, Ivan, ushered me to a different ATM. Still only the balance.
The machine initially offered me cash. Important to remember this - my PIN number was working when I entered the bank. Ivan suggested a quick call to Hong Kong from the "premier suite", which he said had the branch's only international phone line. It took 15 minutes to work.
Remember, this was not me calling cold from a mountain top, but an HSBC branch manager calling the mother ship. Someone in the Hong Kong Premier Telephone Banking Centre answered and hung up, three times. It was clearly Ivan's first experience of HSBC's phone banking.
"Sorry, I'm learning something here," he said, trying to be upbeat.
Finally, Benny at HSBC Premier telephone banking answered and got my account number correct at the fourth attempt.
"Please input your phone banking PIN," he said.
I replied I didn't do phone banking. Benny said he could not identify me, then. Ivan grabbed the phone and explained identification was already done.
Punch in your ATM PIN, then, said Benny. Four times he said it was invalid. This was the same PIN that had offered cash 20 minutes earlier. How could it suddenly be invalid? I'm sorry, said Ivan, squirming.
Benny reluctantly put me onto his superior, Ivy Cheung, who refused to accept it was really me. Ivan was by now incandescent. He seized the phone and begged Ivy to assist.
"How can I help the customer? Her request is very simple," he implored. "What is wrong with the phone banking system? Security has been cleared."
But Ivy kept repeating the mantra "invalid PIN".
"I will speak to someone centrally," Ivan said.
On the way out, he stopped me at the ATM, saying: "I'm a fatalist and this is 2013, so let's just try the machine and check that your card still works." Try withdrawing a little bit of cash, he said. "I just wonder if they've done something silly with your card."
Ivan's premonition was right. The ATM spat out the card.
Later, Terry, claiming to be my relationship manager in Hong Kong, rang, telling me this was my fault for going overseas without getting an overseas pin. Overseas PIN? I went to Shanghai in early March, no overseas PIN needed.
"Since March 1 you need to register for an overseas pin."
News to me.
"It's OK, you can reset your PIN for overseas now," said Terry hastily.
Reset? I'd never changed it. Aha. So it would seem the Premier Phone Banking Centre had indeed managed to invalidate my PIN.
"Just input in your old PIN now, that will do," said Terry.
Amazingly, the card worked.
I went back to Taunton HSBC to thank Ivan. He gave me an Easter egg to say sorry. A Flake one - what else? Compliments of HSBC.

The Material Girl has been taking heat for going out of the country to adopt children. Madonna has a knack for controversy, but I'm not one to criticize anyone for giving a child a better life. I don't care if she adopts a kid from Africa or Andalusia, every child that grows up in a loving home makes the world a better place. Even if that loving home belongs to a slutty celebrity.
But, if Madonna really wanted to get a lot of bang for her adoption buck, she need look no further than her hometown of Detroit to make a significant contribution to society.
Madonna should adopt General Motors. She can afford the responsibility easier than the rest of us taxpayers...we're stretched a little thin these days.
And just imagine the redesign the Material Mom might put on her new babies...can you see the new Camaro with the pointy bra grill? Sweeeeeet.
We had some nice attempts in the Toon Tease. Mr. D, back in the fold from a road trip, weighed in with a much-too-deep thought process on this one. Jenjen23 was in the ballpark with the Madonna adoption guess, but a Detroit or GM angle was needed to secure a win. Thanks for playing, try again and remember to finish strong!

Laurent Pelly's Royal Opera production of Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore was relayed live to cinemas around the world on 26 November 2014.
The relay featured a series of backstage films, including rehearsal footage and interviews with members of the cast and creative team.
If you missed the screening on the night, or just want to find out more about the production, here's another chance to see the films:
An introduction to L'elisir d'amore
'L'elisir d'amore has a beautiful storyline. It has unexpected twists and turns; it has vocal gymnastics. Maybe it is the best opera that has ever been written.' says Bryn Terfel, who sings the role of Doctor Dulcamara.
Watch the cast and conductor Daniele Rustioni explain what makes L'elisir d'amore such a great opera:
Why Adina is a very modern operatic heroine
'Adina is an unusual character in the soprano repertory,' says Lucy Crowe, who plays the role. 'It's quite a modern character. It's not often, back in the day, that you'd find a woman being independent - who isn't a servant - that can do what she pleases and do it the way she does in such a sassy way; bossing the men around and using them as her playtoys.'
Have an exclusive glimpse of rehearsals and watch Lucy explain why Adina is one of her favourite operatic characters in the history of the art form:
L'elisir d'amore runs from 27 May–22 June 2017. Tickets are still available.

Verdi's I due Foscari will be broadcast at a date TBC. The production will see Plácido Domingo head the cast under the baton of Royal Opera Music Director Antonio Pappano.

Mozart's Idomeneo will be broadcast at a date TBC. The production stars Matthew Polenzani, Franco Fagioli, Sophie Bevan and Malin Byström and will be conducted by Marc Minkowski, making his Royal Opera debut. The opera features some of Mozart's most varied and inventive music, including the heroic 'Fuor del mar', tender duet 'S'io non moro a questi accenti' and the furious vocal acrobatics of 'D'Oreste, d'Ajace'.
Wagner's Tristan und Isolde will be broadcast at a date TBC. The production stars Stephen Gould, Nina Stemme, John Tomlinson and Sarah Connolly. Antonio Pappano will conduct the opera, which changed the course of western music through its revolutionary score.
Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore will be broadcast live on 29 November 2014 at 6.45pm. The production stars Lucy Crowe, Vittorio Grigolo and Bryn Terfel. Former Jette Parker Young Artist Daniele Rustioni will conduct the comic opera, which features beautiful music including the iconic aria 'Una furtiva lagrima'.
Other operas to be broadcast during the 2014/15 Season include Andrea Chenier, Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny, Król Roger, and Guillaume Tell. Dates for these will be announced in due course.

Summertime and the living is all things garden, including Eatonville's Garden Tour and Market July 19-20.
Put on by Mountain Community Co-op to raise funds for its outreach and educational programs, including Mountain Community Garden that put over 495 pounds of fresh organic produce into the local food bank in 2013, the tour is in its sixth year and invites people to tour five local gardens and shop at the Garden Market at the town Visitor Center on Mashell Avenue.
Tickets are $10 before the tour and sold at the co-op on Carter Stfreet and BlackStar Feed on the corner of Washington Avenue and Carter. The days of the tour, tickets will be sold at the co-op booth at the Garden Market for $12 each.
Along with the ticket, people will get a brochure with directions for the self-guided tour, which lasts from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. both days.
There will be some old-time music with guitar and fiddle from 11 a.m. at the market both days.
Demonstration of herbs in the garden will be on Sunday at 1 p.m. Colleen Gondolfi, owner of Blooming Artichoke Herbary in Yelm will show why she is passionate about botanical medicine and botany.
Local pharmacist Kirk Heinz has opened his large "estate" garden for this tour. Even without the thrilling garden areas, including perfectly aligned to the sun pinot noir grapes, this garden has a Mount Rainier view that is up close and personal. There is also a territorial view of Ohop Valley. Camera material for sure.
The Beach home is another hilltop view home with a steep front yard covered in kinnikinnick that needs no mowing. Good thing, because when Phillip Beach retired, "he retired from lawn moving, also," said wife Harriet.
See their solution, and when you go around back (on the paths, please), try to spot the very small area that is "mowed" using the weed eater. Looking across the Ohop Valley, you can spot the Heinz home. A mountain view is another feature here, also.
The Schaub home doesn't have the challenges of great heights, but has the benefits of everything else: Vegetables, trees worthy of an arboretum, water features and an ambitious collection of color involving more than 80 overwintered geraniums. The koi and goldfish pond is protected from hungry birds by discreet netting. It's an easy walking space with flowing, curved borders.
Off Stringtown Road, north of Eatonville, Michelle Wilbur's garden has been carved from a Weyhaeuser forest and features cooling water features, an orchard with many fruit trees, berries, native vegetation and trees and shrubs, many collected from Washington State University's extension program. Your walking shoes will be handy here, and good paths make the exercise easy.
Mountain Community Garden is the "produce department" for some local gardeners and for the local food bank. It also makes an area of town much more decorative than having the empty space that was there just a few years ago. There will be presentations from Pierce County Master Gardeners. Check with the Garden Tour booth at the market for times.
The lavender will be in full bloom at the Lavender Art and Wine Show from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days at Stringtown Cellars and Lavender Farm at 39619 Eatonville Cutoff Road.


text: Remember what Logan Zane be feeding its cows? Well, that was a long time ago—my first day at Four Pins HQ, to be exact. I just received an insider blogging tip stating that the camo cows Logan Zane employs to make their products have been on the decline and were just recently added on the endangered species list. Simply put, these belts are very rare. WWF is doing all they can to keep these animals from extinction. Why do you think you've never seen one alive? Fucking Illuminati, bro. None of this is making any sense and that's okay. Just know that these belts are hot fire. Grab yourself one before they, and camouflage cows, are gone fover.

Boston Red Sox offseason: 9 first basemen who could play for Red Sox in 2013

Jerry Sands
The Red Sox actually received another player who can play first base in the big August trade with the Dodgers. Loney was the regular major leaguer, but Jerry Sands has spent a little time in the big leagues and can play some first base as well.
Sands actually has a little in common with Mark Trumbo. Both are big right-handed power hitters who stand 6'4" and weigh 225 pounds. Both players appear to have some holes in their swings, and both players have the ability to crush the ball.
The difference of course is that Trumbo has done it at the big league level, while Sands has only really showcased his power in the minors.
Sands is only 25, and he will get a look in spring training regardless of who the Red Sox acquire this offseason. The question is what he does, and how much playing time the Red Sox can give him.
Could Sands be the starting first baseman on opening day 2013? That seems unlikely, but he can also play outfield and his power potential will probably earn him some major league at-bats next season.
