Asian Fish and Vegetable Wrap
Recipe by ratherbeswimmin
We eat a lot of wraps and this is one of my favorites.
Top Review by Aunt Cookie
This was really good! The orange flavor from the marmalade and zest gave it a really interesting flavor (in a good way). I followed the recipe as directed, except that I accidentally left out the water chestnuts. This made 6 wraps for us rather than 4, but the tortillas may have been smaller than called for in the recipe (ours were "tortilla-sized", which I think was less than 10 inches). We still have some of the salmon left over, too, so I might not use a full lb. of it next time I make this. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

"Is It Ever Okay to Lie to Your Child?"
With this new series, my intention is to help foster and nurture an open and profound bond between father and daughter, one that transcends the awkwardness of puberty. (I wrote about it in more detail here.)
And in that spirit, I've agreed that once a week I will answer – honestly – any question my husband puts to me.
So, here's what hubby has come up with for me this week…
Hubby: I heard something on the radio that got me thinking. Obviously this one could equally apply to boys, but either way I think it warrants discussion. And it's something that maybe doesn't have a 'right' answer, but I'm interested in what you think. So, is it okay to lie to your kid in some circumstances, to save their feelings? Fo example, if they're not a looker and they ask you straight? is it ever okay to lie to your child?
Me: Hmmm, loaded question! I have a few thoughts on this one…
Firstly, the point is that our children look to us with an almost godlike reverence, right? I wrote about a pretty epic example of what I mean in this guest post. So it could be argued that by not being completely truthful with our impressionable little ones, we are failing them in a very fundamental way.
And yet…
The vast majority of parents in the developed world lie to their babies from a very young age, and do their best to keep that lie magic alive for as long as they possibly can. I am, of course, talking about Father Christmas, but he is just the most popular and influential of several examples I could have given. And it is so accepted – and expected – in our culture, that society complicitly reinforces the dishonesty – both passively (Christmas displays), and actively (visit the 'genuine' Santa Claus).
While one can't dispute it's deceptive, guess what I'll be doing this December? Yep, I'll be exposing our daughter to those blatant lies with the best of 'em. And in my opinion, it will be with the best of them, because we are so doing to bring a little enchantment to their lives.
I intend to shield my children from the horrors of the world for as long as I'm able to; they have their whole lives for those realities.
My idea of being a good mum is maintaining the intrigue and mystery of fairies and unicorns and imaginary friends – until they lose their childish wonder.
And that day will be a sad one.
Back to the matter at hand… Luckily, most parents are blinded to their children's appearance because they wear rose-tinted glasses (whether they're necessary or not)! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder after all. So just because your kinder may not be classically beautiful, there's every chance you would consider them so all the same. Naturally, I don't believe this to be the case with our lovely daughter (she's the most angelic child to ever have graced this earth) so I'm having to answer this hypothetically.
So hypothetically, supposing Pixie looked less cherubic and more gargoyle-esque – would I expect you to tell her so if she asked you?
Allow me to quickly share a miserable anecdote from my own childhood (you know it already, my readers don't!).
My parents divorced when I was seven, and though I had previously worshipped my dad, our relationship thereafter became strained. Then, during an evening out with family and friends when I was a teenager, a flippant remark he made left me completely humiliated.
He told us all that I had been an ugly child.
My dad had indulged in a few drinks, which probably accounted for his lack of tact, and with hindsight I don't believe there was spite or malice intended; in fact, I think it was intended as a back-handed compliment. But the damage was done – I was bereft.
Shortly after our relationship broke down completely, only being repaired when I was planning my wedding. (For those who are curious, he attended but did not give me away or make a speech.)
My point is, despite being sure my dad has said lovely things to me on numerous other occasions, it is his negative words that had such a profound and lasting effect on me. We're all inclined to recall the insult instead of the praise; but coming from somebody you hold in such high regard – or in whom you wish nothing more than to elicit pride – it's heartbreaking.
So, should you lie? Based on what I've said, you'll probably think I'm going to say yes. The trouble is, your child will see straight through it if you can't say it with conviction.
How, then, to deal with this conundrum and retain your integrity?
There are plenty of people in this world who look beautiful, but I don't think they are beautiful – because they're vile. And so, I would suggest being honest, and appraising your child not solely based on their appearance, but rather on account of the goodness in their heart; their kindness, compassion, generosity, and manners; their willingness to forgive.
If you can look at your offspring and see these attributes, then you are blessed with a beautiful child. (And if you fail to see that, then it says more about what's reflected in your heart than in your eyes.)
Like this? You can check out more of my hubby's ponderings (and my attempts to answer them) here.

certainly interesting thoughts. I agree with looking and being beautiful – big difference.
This Mum's LifeMarch 15, 2016 at 6:59 pm
This is definitely an interesting topic, and one that I think about often, then file firmly in the back of my head where I don't have to think about it for a while! Yes, I'm all about the harmless lies, like you said, let's make the enchantment last as long as we can, because, well, there's nothing really enchanting about being an adult is there?
I can resonate with what you said about your dad. I wanted to be a dancer growing up, and my dad worked hard to pay for me to go to extra summer schools, master classes, travel to seminars and competitions. But he kept a constant eye on what I ate, and would openly tell me that I was eating too much, only the weak can't control what they're eating etc, and I hated him for it. Now he is mortified by how much his words affected me, and says that he only said those things to keep me positive that I needed to look good to do well. But it took a long time for us to rebuild our relationship.
And I firmly believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I've had some friends in the past who were physically beautiful, but with ugly souls. All I see now when I think of them is that ugliness.
Thanks for sharing with #bigpinklink!

Really interesting post. I lie to my children all the time about the small things (the white lies which all parents tell!) but the big lies, never. Thanks for sharing this with us #bigpinklink
justsayingmumMarch 16, 2016 at 7:50 am
Firstly, I must just say that I really enjoyed reading this post. I think for enchantment purposes we must never squash a child's dreams and magic – we have to keep them alive for as long as possible – such enchantment is rare in many aspects of life for many sadly so if a few little deviations from the truth create a happy childhood then I'm not going to disagree. I feel for you regarding your father's statement – that would hurt but all of our experiences shape us and it's probably a strong factor in making you the wonderful mindful parent you are today #BloggersClubUK
Catie: An Imperfect MumMarch 16, 2016 at 7:59 am
What a great idea for a series. Your hubby posed a really interesting question too. I love your quote; My idea of being a good mum is maintaining the intrigue and mystery of fairies and unicorns and imaginary friends – until they lose their childish wonder.
I feel that way too. I am desperately trying to keep hold of that wonder as my boys are growing up.
Kerry-AnnMarch 16, 2016 at 8:34 am
The beautiful thing about children is there ability to see possibility in everything and if tales of Santa Clause and the Easter bunny will enable them to hold on to that for a little bit longer then I'm all for it. Great post, thanks for sharing! #BloggerClubUK
MimiroseandmeMarch 16, 2016 at 8:50 am
What an interesting post one that I will remember that's for sure. For me as a parent of a toddler I would have to say that white lies are acceptable but the bigger lies not so much. I guess it's all based on how your deliver your response. It's best to be honest upfront without any malice because that is just hurtful! #BloggersClubUK
FranMarch 16, 2016 at 10:27 am
this is a really interesting question. It got me thinking. We lie to our children all the time. I mean its essential part of raising our children to be confident, proud and self loving people. When my daughter comes downstairs after she got dressed all by herself and looking at me with the smug "Well? What do you think?" I am not going to tell her she looks like she got dressed in the dark. I won't tell my kids that the painting looks like a scribble and i have no idea what it is. I am going to praise them, encourage them at all times. Unicorn, Fairies, the Easter bunny and Santa are huge part in our kids lives and imagination. Yes, so I would have to say it is vital to lie to your kids. There comes an age and a time when honesty becomes vital, especially when it comes to big things, but details of honesty always has to be age appropriate. just my 2 cents, 🙂 loved the post.
DebbieMarch 16, 2016 at 5:37 pm
Hi Kate, I was determined to get it right this time!
I believe there are different kinds of lies; ones that are pure evil, ones that are told to protect and those that are told to maintain a level of magic and innocence and working on that basis I don't think that some lies are that harmful… To this day my children aged 16 and 19 in the 'magic' of Christmas (as do I).
However, saying that if one of mine were to ask if one of mine were to ask if they were a looker, I'd ask them what they consider a looker to be? Like you said beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder and there are plenty of stunning looking people in the world with personalities that make them truly ugly people.
After having let them think a little, I might answer – "Everyone is a 'looker', it just depends what you are looking for. Your looks are what make you unique, so embrace them. Focus on being you".
Mess and MerlotMarch 16, 2016 at 8:58 pm
As a parent I find myself constantly questioning whether what I say/do is going to have a detrimental effect on my children later in life! My kids do ask a lot of tricky questions but I find they are pretty accepting of my very basic, but as honest as is appropriate, answers -for now anyway! #BloggerClubUK
Step by Step MomMarch 17, 2016 at 9:46 am
when i was a young child i remember asking my mother if i was beautiful because i have met some mean people on my childhood, that make e feel bad about myself, and she always said yes, and i hated her for that, i thought that she as only saying that because i was her daughter and through her eyes i'll always be beautiful, Even today i don't know if were her 'mother eyes' talking or i was truly a beautiful child. xx. ##BloggerClubUK
Anita CleareMarch 17, 2016 at 1:02 pm
There is telling the 'truth' and there is damaging someone. If that's the choice then the truth needs to be redefined! #coolmumclub
MMTMarch 17, 2016 at 7:40 pm
What a thought provoking read…I am really trying to encouragae my daughter (s) that beauty is about whats on the inside, but as they grow up I know that challenge will become harder. As Roald Dahl says – 'if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely' Love that quote x
Thanks for linking up with #coolmumclub
Becky, Cuddle FairyMarch 18, 2016 at 11:33 am
Santa was the firs thing that popped into my head when I started reading your post. It is awful to tell lies like that – and the tooth fairy & easter bunny. I feel bad because my children believe me because I don't lie to them otherwise. I do try my best to give them honest answers. I agree there's no point in insulting a child as it's what they will remember. But honesty about how things work or that kind of thing is important. Thanks so much for sharing with us at #bloggerclubuk x

From a media release:
TD Sunfest 2011
Edgy Beats, Artful Jazz, Rough-and-Ready Roots:
London, Ontario's TD Sunfest Bursts with Global Sounds, Flavors and Arts
July 7 to 10, 2011
Plenty of outdoor summer festivals give music fans good times in the park. Some feature global sounds. But in sonic scope, community impact, and positive vibes, few rival London, Ontario's no-charge TD Sunfest (July 7-10, 2011).
Artists fly in from across the continent and overseas-just to perform at TD Sunfest. It's a signature Canadian festival that has now outgrown its verdant, tree-lined home in Downtown London's Victoria Park, drawing ever larger, strikingly multi-generational and multi-ethnic crowds during its four-day run (More than 200,000 visits last summer in a city with a population of just over 350,000).
The credit goes to Sunfest's unwavering commitment to fresh yet deeply rooted global sounds: from Maori chants (New Zealand's Moana & the Tribe) to rough Saharan blues (Niger's Etran Finatawa), and from the swaying, accordion and banjo-powered songs of Haiti's Ti Coca & Wanga Neges to the lush marimbas and vocal harmonies of South Africa's Dizu Plaatjies & Ibuyambo. Elsewhere in the park, Chicago's super-cool family affair, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, bumps with the jazz-tronic wonder of Netherlands-based Saskia Laroo and her effects-fueled trumpet.
In addition to its always rich panoply of roots, world, and jazz artists-many of them JUNO Award (Canadian Grammy) winners-this year's TD Sunfest is highlighting the global edge of electronica through a new programming component entitled "Suntronica '11". International heavy hitters-the South American psychedelia of Chicha Libre, the Afro-Colombian Technicolor hip hop of Systema Solar-meet Canadian favorites, such as Vancouver's unlikely yet grooving Delhi 2 Dublin and Montreal's Nu Afro-Latin big band, the Roberto Lopez Project . Artful jazz, raw roots, and dance floor beats mingle, just as immigrant grannies get down next to hipster teens.
"Our patrons relish the tremendous element of surprise, of sharing new discoveries," explains TD Sunfest Executive & Artistic Director Alfredo Caxaj. "Every year we work hard to book both established and up-and-coming creative artists whom people haven't seen live before; international and Canadian groups coming to the area for the very first time. Sunfesters always know there will be something spectacular on stage."
Caxaj adds: "The most incredible thing about Sunfest is its unparalleled socio-cultural impact. We are the only event where the community, here in London and from across the region, comes together in an open and upbeat environment. That's worth a hundred political initiatives, in our book."
This unique environment stems not only from an eclectic music lineup-ranging from the Afro-Colombian body percussion and a cappella from NVOZ to the Kiwi alt-klezmer of Mamaku Project-but also from the hundreds of premier food, craft, and visual art exhibitors who turn Victoria Park into a huge international feast. With the sun as its inspiration, the heady mix of sounds, sights, and tastes draws tens of thousands of visitors from increasingly far afield-Middle Eastern music fans from Southeastern Michigan, festival devotees from Central Ohio. As one visitor told London's local daily last summer, "Once you get a taste of Sunfest, you're a fan for life".
While putting London on the global music map, the festival is also helping to catapult the Forest City to the top tier of tourist destinations. In fact, the American Bus Association recently selected TD Sunfest one of the TOP 100 North American Events for 2011.
Such popularity and acclaim is already fuelling plans to move TD Sunfest outside its park hub and into the streets of downtown London. The expansion comes despite the dismal economic outlook confronting many arts organizations. If Caxaj and his colleagues have their way, "Canada's Premier Celebration of World Cultures" will soon turn urban street corners into dancehalls, jazz clubs and jam sessions brimming with musical surprises.

"We really just went in there with the mindset of stopping the run and be physical," said Stout. "One thing we wanted to do today was get some new guys some looks to see how they perform in this environment."
Stopping the run is always the first priority of any defense to force the offense into becoming one dimensional. Adam Hine had a very good day scampering through the defense and Paul Lasike was also productive.
"We have some work to do," said Stout. "For the most part I feel like we played physical and gave a lot of effort. We're moving forward but we still have to kinks to work out."
The offense did reach pay dirt a few times, but given today's defensive objects Stout feels his side did fairly well despite many of the starters being out. He assessed the results of today's defensive goals.
"It was pretty good," Stout said. "Overall it was a good performance but we have some work to do, so I was say today's overall performance was pretty good. Everyone is still fighting for a starting spot and nothing is solidified yet, so today was a good chance to get some of those news guys in to see what they could do. Overall I would say we saw some progress today."
The offense found success through the air. Both Christian Stewart and Taysom Hill connected with targets downfield. The secondary was also rotating in and out a lot with many of the starters seeing little to no playing time. Still there was success from the Cougar secondary in what was a see-saw battle in the passing game.
"The passing game from our offense was great today," Stout said. "They made some plays on us and those came about through some mental errors, being young, and by guys not being exactly where they need to be. For the most part our secondary has been great throughout all of fall camp."
Today's scrimmage at LaVell Edwards Stadium saw a lot of rotation at the linebacker positions. Generally at the end of four downs a new set of linebackers would come in if the first set wasn't able to stop the offense.
"We're going to need everybody," Stout said. "I mean, as you saw out here we would go four and then rotate. To be able to do that hopefully everybody will be up to speed to where we don't miss a beat if and when we do rotate."
It was very much the same situation for the defensive line. After the initial set of downs was completed, the unit that took the field first would be replaced by a new one as the drive continued onward.
"I think the main reason is because the way the game is played now," said Stout. "We want fresh bodies in there all the time, and now we have the depth and the talent to do things like that."
Despite some setbacks and successes during today's open scrimmage, Stout feels in the end the 2014 BYU defense will be very good. The fact that many of the younger players are getting a ton of reps will bode well for quality depth as the season wears on.
"I think this defense is going to be great," Stout said. "I really do. I think we're going to be great this year. Like I said we've still got some things to iron out, but for the most part we're getting things down. I think we're going to be a really good defense."
Christian Stewart
On the other side of the ball, backup quarterback Christian Stewart talked about his fall camp success throwing the ball with more zip and accuracy. He gives insight into what he did to improve his throwing motion and about the offensive performance on the day. To listen to Stewart click the link below.

Description: Wine is good for you, and we finally know why. Wine drinkers are less prone to heart disease, diabetes, and dementia than non-wine drinkers. But what exactly is it about wine that keeps us healthy? Which is better for you, a California Cabernet or Syrah from the south of France? How can you choose wines that both suit your tastes and benefit your health? In a landmark study, Roger Corder revealed that compounds called procyanidins are the key components of wine for preventing illness. Now, in The Red Wine Diet, he argues that drinking the right kinds of red wine and eating procyanidin-rich foods such as dark chocolate, apples, and berries can help us live to a ripe old age-while enjoying all the pleasures of life. Corder's own tests show that, as a result of grape variety, wine-making style, and other factors, some red wines contain much higher levels of procyanidins than others. With a unique personal rating system, he describes the most beneficial wines he's found to date. And to round out his lifestyle plan, he includes fifty delicious recipes featuring foods that are high in procyanidins. Corder's prescription is an easy pill to swallow: Drink red wine every day and live a long and healthy life.

Hong Kong Open
December 4, 2011 by staff
Hong Kong Open, World number two Rory McIlroy sealed the US$2.75 million UBS Hong Kong Open on Sunday by holing a birdie chip from a bunker on the last, keeping alive his slim hopes of denying Luke Donald an historic Order of Merit double.
"I think that's the most excited I've ever been on a golf course," said the 22-year-old. "It was just incredible to see the ball drop and realise that I had won this tournament."
A final-round 65 clinched a two-stroke victory for the Northern Irishman and the winner's cheque of $458,330 means the US Open champion still has a chance of overtaking current Race to Dubai leader Donald with victory at the season-ending Dubai World Championship next week.
McIlroy has collected 3,066,605 euros ($4,110,477) for the season to world number one-ranked Donald's 3,856,394 euros. The event in Dubai is worth just over 930,000 euros to the winner.
Englishman Donald, who has already won the US PGA Tour money list, skipped the Hong Kong event as did Germany's Martin Kaymer, who had been placed second in the Race to Dubai until McIlroy's heroics on Sunday.

Review/Dance; 'Ginastera,' By Harlem Company
By JACK ANDERSON
Published: June 11, 1991
It may sound strange to complain that a suite lacks unity. Suites, being assortments of items, do not necessarily require unity. Nevertheless, some sort of emotional or dramatic focus might have strengthened "Ginastera," the new ballet by Billy Wilson that Dance Theater of Harlem presented on Sunday afternoon at Aaron Davis Hall.
This choreographic suite was set to a potpourri of recorded instrumental and piano music by the 20th-century Argentine composer Alberto Ginastera. Barbara Forbes's bright costumes implied that the action was taking place at a fiesta. The scenic designs of Neil Peter Jampolis included a backdrop whose thick lines and splatters of paint resembled an Abstract Expressionist painting. At the sides of the stage hung constructions suggesting both forest branches and window blinds.
Tyrone Brooks, Richard Witter, Lawrence de Maeyer and Charmaine Hunter led the opening ensemble, in which the women were flirtatious and the men leaped with enthusiasm. In the all-male episode that followed, Hugues Magen's poses brought to mind the pride of gauchos or matadors, and Mr. Magen remained unfazed when he accidentally lost a shoe.
Clad in an elegant black tutu and fluttering a fan, Judith Rotardier was an imperious yet melancholy beauty in a pas de deux with Mr. Magen. This gave way to a lyrical duet in which Christina Johnson and Donald Williams were innocent young lovers (Tai Jimenez and Rodolphe Cassand at other performances). Ms. Rotardier stood benevolently nearby, as if bestowing her blessing upon them. The finale was a celebration.
At any given moment, "Ginastera" held one's attention. The scenes were varied; their moods were clear and the dancers successfully captured them. But "Ginastera" lacked overall impact. Its whole was less than the sum of its parts.
Although plotless, "Ginastera" did raise dramatic questions. Just who was the confident man Mr. Magen portrayed and what was his relationship to Ms. Rotardier? Why was she sad as well as haughty and why did she look on so approvingly at Ms. Johnson and Mr. Williams? Such hints of personal relationships aroused curiosity. If Mr. Wilson had told the audience less about his characters, his ballet might be satisfying simply as a suite of miscellaneous dances; should he ever decide to revise the work and reveal more about them, "Ginastera" might become an atmospheric dance-drama.
Anyone in search of drama would have found it in John Taras's version of "Firebird," which received an exciting performance with Ronald Perry as the Young Man and Ms. Rotardier as the princess he saves from a sorcerer. Ms. Hunter, with her darting, fluttering and soaring movements, appeared ready to burst into flame as the Firebird. Moreover, she always took care to look non-human -- a detail some stars of other stagings of Stravinsky's ballet ignore in their interpretations, but one that helps make this forest bird especially mysterious. Dance Theater of Harlem's "Firebird" remains an incandescent production.
The program opened with "Tones," choreographed by Arthur Mitchell, the troupe's artistic director, to a score by Tania Leon. "Tones" shows off the company's skills. At the same time, it is an austere abstraction in which the dancers could be parts of a gigantic mobile. In the pas de deux, Judy Tyrus intricately coiled and slithered about Eddie J. Shellman, and the group sequences whirred away like dynamos.
Dance Theater of Harlem will offer other weekend programs through June 23 at Aaron Davis Hall at City College of the City University of New York, 134th Street and Convent Avenue.

CHARLOTTESVILLE -- For the 11th time in the history of a storied program -- and fourth time in George Gelnovatch's 18 seasons as head coach -- the UVa men's soccer team is headed to the College Cup.
"It never, ever gets old," Gelnovatch said Friday night, "but it's the first time for these guys, and there's a different look and brightness and freshness and excitement about the group, about going to the College Cup. The College Cup is something special."
About 15 minutes earlier, after the final seconds ticked off the scoreboard clock, sealing Virginia's 2-1 win over Connecticut, Gelnovatch had watched his players mob each other on the field.
"Obviously the whole team is very excited," junior midfielder Ryan Zinkhan said. "We have a little extra bounce in our step. We're going to enjoy it tonight and just turn the page tomorrow, because there's still unfinished business. We gotta go to the College Cup and make our mark."
Before the season, Zinkhan said, the players "talked about that. We wanted to leave our mark, because we want to add to the history of this program."
The College Cup appearance will be the Cavaliers' first since 2009, when they blanked Maryland in an NCAA quarterfinal at Klöckner.
The College Cup was held in Cary, N.C, that year, and the Wahoos came away with their sixth NCAA title. Virginia's bid for another national championship continues next Friday night in Chester, Pa., outside Philadelphia.
At PPL Park, home of Major League Soccer's Philadelphia Union, No. 8 seed UVa (13-5-5) will meet fourth-seeded California or fifth-seeded Maryland in the NCAA semifinals. Cal hosts Maryland in a quarterfinal Saturday at 4:30 p.m.
UVa tied the Terrapins in the regular season and lost 1-0 to them in the ACC championship game.
"There's part of me that would like another shot at Maryland," Gelnovatch said. "There's a part of me that would like to play another team. Like I said last week, just give us the next game. We know we'll be in a great environment. We'll be up for it. The field will be good. We're excited for it, whoever it is."
Gelnovatch played for and then worked as an assistant under Bruce Arena at UVa before taking over as head coach after the 1995 season. His latest team was picked to finish fifth in the ACC, and after four games Virginia was 1-3 overall and 0-2 in conference play.
"I really think this schedule that we put together, early on, it could have killed us," Gelnovatch said.
But the Cavaliers persevered, stringing together victories and ties and slowly growing into a formidable team. UVa finally moved above .500 on Sept. 28, with a 2-0 win at No. 24 Syracuse, and did not lose in October.
"Along the way we were developing this mental toughness, along with playing well and figuring each other out and believing in each other, and I think what you have now is not just a gritty team," Gelnovatch said. "I mean, it is that. But it's also a good soccer team, and these guys are good. They're stringing passes together, they're making great runs in the attacking half of the field in front of the goal, and we're scoring goals and creating chances. It's a good team."
Even at 1-3, freshman midfielder Jordan Allen said, "we felt like we were a much better team than the record showed. We just had some mental lapses in the beginning of the season. We weren't defending as stoutly as we are now. So we figured once we turned that around, we knew we'd be able to make a run. And George had been telling us from the beginning that we were going to get it going, it was just a matter of time. To have that actually happen, it feels great."
UConn (12-3-8) arrived at Klöckner with a 17-game unbeaten streak after eliminating UCLA, the NCAA tournament's No. 1 seed, in the round of 16. The Huskies were bigger than the Cavaliers at most positions, but that didn't faze the home team.
"They have a lot of size, no question about it, but there's a way to deal with it," Gelnovatch said, "and I relate it to basketball. You gotta put a body on a guy."
UVa's players studied videotape of the Huskies, Zinkhan said, and "we knew they had two great forwards, big bodies, that we had to double-down on. They were everything we expected. They were a great team. They moved the ball well, and the two forwards held the ball up really well, so it made it difficult for us. But we packed it in, we did really well defensively, shut those guys out and then just did our thing offensively."
In the 12th minute, sophomore forward Darius Madison, from the left side, sent a low cross into the six-yard box, where Zinkhan volleyed it past goalkeeper Andre Blake to make it 1-0. The goal was Zinkhan's fifth of the season and second in this NCAA tournament.
"Darius did all the hard work," Zinkhan said. "He played a great ball. It was a matter of me just being in the right spot."
UConn pulled even late in the first half after UVa struggled to clear a corner kick. The `Hoos remained unfazed.
"Our strategy didn't change," Gelnovatch said. "We wanted to keep pressing and keep going. We do well in the second half."
In the 63rd minute, moments after Zinkhan nearly scored on a header, the breakthrough came. UConn was unable to clear a corner kick by UVa sophomore Scott Thomsen. In the ensuing scramble, the ball came to another Virginia sophomore, Zach Carroll, who popped it over to Allen just outside the six-yard box.
Allen did the rest, and after what he described as "probably like a half-bicycle kick," the Cavaliers led 2-1.
"It was just kind of an instinctual thing," Allen said. "The ball popped up, and I didn't really have time to think about it. It just kind of happened really quickly. Luckily after we got that goal, we were able to hunker in and finish out the game, which was most important."
In the last 15 minutes, Gelnovatch said, his players "knew they were going [to the College Cup]. We were winning 2-1, and they were going to make sure they weren't going to get scored on."
No Cavalier was happier than Madison, who's from Philadelphia. He has emerged as one of the nation's most dangerous forwards, and now he'll get to play at least one College Cup game in front of family and friends near his hometown.
In the NCAA tournament's round of 16, against Marquette, Virginia played the final 89 minutes with 10 players after defender Matt Brown was red-carded 57 seconds in. Madison scored a sensational goal in the second half that proved to be the game-winner in UVa's 3-1 victory, and he was even more of a factor against UConn.
"It was probably the best game I've seen him play here," Gelnovatch said, and that's high praise, considering that Madison scored both goals in UVa's 2-0 victory at then-No. 1 Notre Dame on Oct. 26.
Still, Gelnovatch said Friday night, as impressive as Madison's performance against Notre Dame was, in "this game he had a guy on him that was 6-4, 190 pounds, a foot taller than him almost, and [Madison] was holding him off and taking fouls and beating him off the dribble and holding the ball up and connecting on his passes. He was outstanding, and with [sophomore forward] Marcus Salandy-Defour up front, the dynamic of those two is really tough to deal with."
The result at Klöckner made Virginia the first school since North Carolina in 2009 to reach the College Cup in both men's and men's soccer.
Some 200 miles away, in an NCAA semifinal in Cary, the UVa women's postseason run ended in heartbreaking fashion Friday night when they fell to UCLA in penalty kicks.
The Virginia women, who finished 24-1-1, did not lose until the ACC tournament. The regular season was more of a struggle for the men's team, but the Cavaliers are peaking at the right time.
"Typically teams at the end of the season, they're lackadaisical or they're mentally or physically just exhausted," Zinkhan said. "I think this team, we're just getting started."

In addition, an external antenna can be attached to the desktop adapter, giving users better transmission in an office situation.Airbus has developed this new generation of the desktop adapter to better serve commanding officers in the area of public safety. Whether they work in a broadcast vehicle during a football match or in the branch office of a small town, TPH900 users can easily switch from secure communication in the field to the office."The adapter renders significant advantages to users who need not only to analyse audio communications, but also other data in different situations," explained Eric Davalo, Head of Strategy, Solution Portfolio and Engineering of Secure Land Communications at Airbus Defence and Space. As the TPH900 also offers the mapping app OM100, it is easier for firefighters, police commanders and rescue workers to link existing information with geo-localisation data.A demo version of the TPH900 desktop adapter will be presented at the Airbus and Defence and Space booth D 42 in hall 8 during the Critical Communication World exhibition in Amsterdam from 31 May 31 to 2 June 2016.

As part of labor's effort to help Vice President Al Gore, Minnie Sanchez, a middle-school teacher in San Antonio, came to Michigan today to tell hundreds of union members some unflattering things about life under Gov. George W. Bush of Texas.
Speaking to 120 union members in this heavily Republican city, Ms. Sanchez sharply attacked Mr. Bush's record, saying Texas ranks 46th in child poverty, 37th in education spending per student and 49th in the percentage of children without health insurance.
''George Bush talks in warm, fuzzy and compassionate conservative images,'' she said. ''But that's not the George W. Bush we know at home. He says he will leave no children behind. But the fact is he has left many children behind.''
Ms. Sanchez and several other union members from Texas -- a sheet-metal worker, a corrections officer and a retired cafeteria worker -- have spoken to labor audiences in 15 cities. The A.F.L.-C.I.O. calls them ''The Texas Truth Squad.'' The Bush campaign views them as an irksome propaganda squad.
The Texans acknowledge that they are largely preaching to the choir, but they hope their assaults on Mr. Bush's record will inspire union members to campaign actively for Mr. Gore. The A.F.L.-C.I.O. has sent these Texans to speak to 2,000 union members in Los Angeles, 1,500 in Cleveland and 1,200 in New York City.Continue reading the main story
They have repeatedly portrayed Mr. Bush as indifferent to working families, hostile to unions and cozy with corporations and the rich. Alex Flores, the sheet-metal worker, attacked Mr. Bush for not pushing to change his state's $3.35-an-hour minimum wage, which is paid to many Texas farm workers not covered by the $5.15-an-hour federal minimum. And Irenier Ford, who retired last year after working for 28 years in a school cafeteria, criticized Mr. Bush's Social Security proposals, saying he would push up the age for full benefits to age 70 and hurt struggling retirees like herself.
''I want you all to help me to tell Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney to keep their hands off of our Social Security,'' Ms. Ford said, standing near a pumpkin-covered poster saying, ''When working families vote, working families win.''
The roving squad of Texans, accompanied today by John J. Sweeney, the A.F.L.-C.I.O.'s president, is meant to restore support for Mr. Gore among union members who soured on him because he supported the bill to liberalize trade with China. To drum up union support, labor leaders are roaming the Midwest in buses, while thousands of shop stewards are distributing millions of pro-Gore fliers at factories and offices.
Mr. Sweeney said, ''We're the reason he won the nomination, and we will be the margin of victory on Nov. 7. We got behind Gore because he and Bill Clinton have been real champions of working families and of unions over the past almost eight years. With the exception of trade issues, they have been there for us when we needed them.''
Bush campaign officials insist that the so-called truth squad is often untruthful and is guilty of nonstop negative campaigning.
Ray Sullivan, a spokesman for the campaign, said, ''Governor Bush is running well among rank-and-file union members in places like Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. But unfortunately the leadership of some of these unions are spreading false and misleading attacks against the governor.''
He said, for instance, that Mr. Bush had said that under his plan benefits for current retirees or people about to retire must not be changed and would not be changed.
Lorra Espey, a member of the carpenters' union in Grand Rapids, said she found the Texans informative. ''If you're from Michigan, you don't know what's happening in Texas,'' she said. ''If that's what Bush is like, I don't want him.''
But George Semposki, who works at a General Motors stamping plant here, said it seemed frustrating that the Texas union members were just talking to the converted. ''I wish they were talking not only to this crowd,'' he said. ''I wish they were talking to the general public, which hasn't heard these things.''Continue reading the main story

KETCHIKAN, Alaska (AP) At least three crewmembers on a Holland America Line cruise ship that visited Ketchikan tested positive for swine flu.
The 1,460-passenger Zaandam was on a seven-night, round-trip cruise that departed Seattle on May 29 and returned Friday. It visited Ketchikan on Wednesday.
No passengers were identified with the virus, said Sally Andrews, vice president of public relations.
"We did experience an elevated number of crew-members with a fever and or cold symptoms," Andrews said.
CRUISE LOG: More cruise news and features
Affected crewmembers were treated and confined to their cabins, said Shelly Diaz, a spokeswoman for the Centers for Disease Control.
"The cruise line started them on Tamiflu," Diaz said in an e-mail to the Ketchikan Daily News.
Symptoms were minor and the crewmembers are recovering, Andrews said.
Dr. Beth Funk, medical epidemiologist with the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services, said her department was informed Tuesday that three crewmembers were affected. More were reported with symptoms Wednesday.
Specimens were collected and sent to the department's lab in Fairbanks for analysis. Swine flu was confirmed Thursday.
None of the officials had an exact number of cases available.
Andrews said the CDC was satisfied with measures used by the cruise line.
"CDC did not ask us to take any special measures beyond what our standard protocol is," Andrews said.
After a port call in Victoria, British Columbia, the Zaandam returned Friday to Seattle, offloading passengers and taking on a new set.
Holland America distributed a letter to disembarking and embarking passengers about the situation.
"No one chose not to sail on the next sailing," Andrews said.
The Zaandam departed Seattle at 4 p.m. Friday for its next cruise to Alaska. It's scheduled to arrive in Ketchikan on Wednesday.
The H1N1 influenza virus has proved less damaging than originally feared when fatalities began making headlines in March. Swine flu acts much line seasonal flu, Funk said.
"It's got the same risks," she said. "That's important for people to put into perspective ... We've been much relieved that it hasn't been more severe."

APC P8VT3 Surge Protector
- IEEE voltage let-through rating of 85 volts
- Complete protection for telephone/DSL and coaxial connections
- Eight standard outlets
- Four outlets spaced for large transformer plugs
- Two LED indicators notify you of wiring or product faults
- Cord management straps and rotating 6-foot cord for better organization
- Lifetime warranty
- $150,000 equipment protection policy
Three Types of Equipment ProtectionThe professional-grade APC P8VT3 Surge Protector guards both your power and data lines. You can plug in up to two telephone/DSL connections, eight standard plugs, and one coaxial cable for connections such as a cable modem, cable box, DSS receiver, A/B switch, splitter, or VCR. Four of the outlets are spaced to allow for room for large transformer plugs.
IEEE Voltage Let-Through Rating of 85 VoltsBoasting an IEEE let-through rating of 85 volts, the P8VT3 is designed to prevent more than 85 volts of electricity from ever reaching your equipment. Since higher let-through rates can increase the risk of damage to your electronics, the 85-volt rating of this surge protector indicates that less voltage may strain and hinder the performance of your system.
Cord Management Straps Reduce ClutterWhether you mount the P8VT3 to the wall or store it on another surface, the cord management straps that come with this unit can be used to keep your workspace clear and organized. A 6-foot power cord rotates 180 degrees where it meets the surge protector, enabling further flexibility with your workspace layout. The offset plug connecting the P8VT3 to the wall is designed to leave room for additional plugs in the wall socket.
LED Lights Notify You of Wiring FaultsThis unit has two LED indicators to indicate building wiring fault and protection working. The first lets you know whether improper building wiring may present a shock hazard. The second light lets you know, before and after a surge event, whether the unit is still functioning as intended.
Lifetime Warranty and Equipment Protection PolicyThis surge protector is covered by a limited lifetime warranty. This product also comes with a lifetime equipment protection policy of up to $150,000. APC will repair or replace office equipment that sustains surge-related damage while properly connected to a registered P8VT3 Surge Protector.

In 2011 several adult Hermanns were to be seen in our garden, in Romania and we believed that this must have been the mating season.
In Spring of 2012 this baby emerged from underneath our summer house and adopted us. A couple of weeks ago it emerged from hibernation underneath the summer house and has now taken up abode, on a wooden step, at the bottom of our house steps. The step is under constant use by our 9 cats and 2 dogs but it doesn't seem to mind :)
We have now enclosed it in an area of rocks and open grass to keep it safe while we spray our trees and cut the knee deep grass.
The Hermanns tortoise (Testudo hermanni boettgeri) is a beautiful species of tortoise. They are very hardy, stay small, and are quite friendly. Until recently the climate here was temperate but is now 'extreme' to say the least and the Hermann is struggling to survive.During the hibernation we had huge ammounts of snow and temperatures down to -25 and during the summer temperatures reached +42.
There are two subspecies, Western and Eastern. The Eastern Hermanns (Testudo hermanni boettgeri) get a little bigger and are much more common than the Westerns (Testudo hermanni hermanni).

"New Frugality" May Be Enduring Feature of Post-Recession Economy
Recession-driven behaviors are unlikely to change as economy improves, says new study, as consumer confidence falls sharply in February.
NEW YORK -- A "new frugality," born of The Great Recession and evidenced by two consecutive years of declining per capita consumption, is now becoming entrenched consumer behavior that is reshaping consumption patterns in ways that will persist even as the economy rebounds, according to a new survey of 2,000 U.S. consumers from Booz & Co.
This new consumer spending report, the second issued by Booz & Co. since the early onset of the recession in October 2008, confirms a picture of pervasive retrenchment in consumer spending that spans a broad range of consumer product categories.
And that picture is not likely to get better any time soon based on the latest consumer confidence report by The Conference Board. The New York City-based group said its Consumer Confidence Index fell "sharply" in February to 46.0, from 56.5 in January. The index is at "historically low levels and is the lowest since April 2009," said the researcher.
Even worse, consumer expectations for the future also nose dive in February as the measure of consumer outlook for the next few months fell to 63.8, from an upwardly revised 77.3 in January. Only 16.7 percent of consumers expect to see an improvement in business conditions over the next six months, down from 20.9 percent the previous month. And 15.3 percent said they expect business conditions to get worse.
The Booz & Allen survey suggests that frugal behaviors are "sticky," and unlikely to quickly change as the economy shows signs of improvement. For example, in the next 12 months, just 9 percent of consumers intend to spend at pre-recession levels on household products, 10 percent on mobile phone service, 11 percent on health and beauty products, and 18 percent on apparel, clothing and shoes. Moreover, nearly two-thirds (64 percent) of consumers said they'll shop at a different store with lower prices even if it's less convenient for them.
"Frugal behavior is now considered trendy by many shoppers, and will continue for years to come," said Matt Egol, a Booz & Co. partner. "In this changed environment, marketers need to develop deeper insights into shopper attitudes and behaviors in order to better align their product, pricing, and marketing communications strategies."
Some examples of changed consumer attitudes cited in the study include:
-- Approximately two-thirds of the respondents (65 percent) said they now consider saving to be more important than spending, and that they frequently use coupons.
-- More than half (55 percent) said they would rather get the best price than the best brand.
-- More than half of consumers surveyed reduced discretionary spending on a range of categories, including dining out (58 percent), consumer electronics (53 percent), apparel (53 percent), and media and entertainment (51 percent).
To be fair, some of these behaviors might benefit convenience stores. For example, less dining out at restaurants could drive more customers to c-stores for quick meal solutions. However, it is also clear that a store must have a "value" message in order to attract these newly frugal consumers.
Nevertheless, this "New Normal," as it's called by many retail industry experts, promises to restrain spending on many key convenience store product categories, according to the latest Convenience Store News Industry Forecast Study. According to the CSNews study, which was released last month, per-store unit volume will decline in confectionery, packaged beverages and cigarettes this year and fuel gallons pumped will also decrease. And, CSNews' research partner, The Nielsen Co., also notes: "Conditions are tough but moderating, and the free fall in GDP and consumer spending appears to be over. Consumers are accepting their fate, but we have seen a fundamental shift in consumer spending, and restraint is clearly the new mantra."
The Booz & Allen study describes how these new attitudes are translating into strong behavioral change going forward:
-- Nearly two-thirds (64 percent) of consumers said they'll shop at a different store with lower prices even if it's less convenient for them.
-- Only one-third (32 percent) of respondents believe their household financial status over the next 12 months will change for the better, reinforcing focus on frugal shopping behaviors such as deferring spending, trading down to lower price points, or buying their favorite brands during promotions.
Several other consumer behaviors characterize the "new frugality," according to the report.
Shopping itself is less impulsive and more disciplined. Recession-habituated shoppers are more inclined than ever to do research before going to the store. This was especially true, the survey revealed, in three categories: health and beauty (83 percent), household products (82 percent) and food and beverage (79 percent).
Another study conducted this past Fall by Booz & Co. in collaboration with Grocery Manufacturers Association, "Shopper Marketing 3.0," found a comparable proportion of shoppers conducting research before they shop, with a focus on finding the best prices, clipping coupons and reading circulars for what is on sale. The "Shopper Marketing 3.0" study also found that many shoppers use price breaks to justify buying the brands they love.
The shift to private label products has accelerated and shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, Booz & Co. analysis shows that private labels are likely to continue to take share from brand names. Egol noted: "Retailers are unlikely to give brands back the shelf space that private label has taken given their dependence on private label for profits. In addition, consumers are reporting generally positive experiences when trying private labels, so for some consumers they are becoming preferred brands."
However, the move to lower price points overall, while pervasive, is not universal. Generally, shoppers are opting for lower priced brands in apparel, household products and food. But they are less inclined to "trade down" when purchasing alcoholic beverages, tobacco, and health and beauty products.
Not surprisingly, big ticket items will continue to see the biggest household spending cuts. In the past year, consumers continued to defer expenditures for items such as consumer electronics (only 22 percent made purchases) or home improvements (23 percent made purchases). These behaviors will continue in 2010 -- only 13 percent and 17 percent, respectively, said they would revert to pre-recession buying habits in these categories.
Implications for Marketers
The Booz & Co. survey sheds light on the challenges faced by consumer marketers and retailers emerging from the recession. Specifically, faced with the same basic economic trends, consumers are behaving differently with respect to their attitudes toward value and loyalty. Booz & Co. identified six distinct, new consumer segments that can help interpret how customers shop in terms of brand loyalty, retail format loyalty and online behaviors. These segments range from "Shopper 2.0" -- young consumers who tend to buy online, regardless of product category, who are price sensitive with few brand or store-format loyalties -- to "Loyalists," largely male, who are loyal to both brands and the stores where they shop, but are also avid users of the Internet for research and buying.
For retailers and consumer products manufacturers, Booz & Co. identified specific areas to spur growth and profitability coming out of the downturn:
-- Building marketing strategies and tactics that address where and why consumers shop -- rather than relying too heavily on demographics-based approached used for advertising buying.
-- Determining differences in consumer behavior across product categories, offline vs. online shopping occasions, and specific retailers/e-tailers.
-- Differentiating marketing messages and promotional offers to more price conscious consumers vs. those who place greater value on brand or convenience.
-- Engaging shoppers along the full path to purchase, rather than treating online and in-store interactions as silos.
The survey polled 2,000 U.S. consumers, with a sample that is representative across demographics, geographies, product categories and retail formats. The polling was conducted online during October 2009. The results of this sample were integrated with Booz & Cos. perspectives on key trends currently shaping consumer behaviors based on recent client experiences across the marketing and media ecosystem and across a broad set of consumer spending categories.

Global High Density Polyethylene Market 2015-2019
About HDPE Polyethylene, also known as polythene, is the commonly used plastic, and it is chemically synthesized from ethylene. Polyethylene is utilized in different products such as packaging products, pipes, molds, wires, cables, general purpose tubing, drums, carrier bags, and household goods. HDPE, LDPE, and LLDPE are the three types of polyethylene. HDPE is a thermoplastic and is manufactured from petrol chemical derivatives. It is a commonly recyclable product and has high strength and density ratio. It contains less than one side chain per 200 carbon atoms in the main chain, which helps in forming long linear chains, thus leading to high crystallinity. HDPE is tough, resistant to chemicals, resistant to UV radiation, and least flexible compared to other polyethylene types. It is used in blow molding application such as bottles and drums, toys, pipes, monofilaments, films, fiber, woven sacks, caps and closures, crates, household goods, and fuel tanks for automobile.
