South Africa will aim for a winning start when then take on a confident Sri Lanka in the first match in Group 1 in the ICC World T20 2014. Their clash is on March 22 at Chittagong.
South Africa are a team in complete transition in all three formats with some heavyweights retiring recently. They were outclassed by Australia in the recent home Twenty20 International series.
Catch Live scorecard of South Africa (SA) vs Sri Lanka (SL)
South Africa rely heavily on a few players and opposing teams will be focused on nullifying that threat. Sri Lanka are seen by many as the main favourites to lift the T20 World Cup title. They have been in Bangladesh for a long time now, and have also won the Asia Cup 2014 tournament. Sri Lanka will indeed feel they have an upper-hand as they are better acclimatised than their African opponents.
Hashim Amla, AB de Villiers and Faf du Plessis will be the key players for South Africa. Sri Lanka will be captained by the young Dinesh Chandimal.

WJHC - Day 2 Recap
by Staff Writer / Calgary FlamesCZECH REPUBLIC 7 DENMARK 0 (6:00pm MST @ Rexall Place)
The Czech Republic came out firing on all cylinders against Denmark on Tuesday evening on their way to a 7-0 victory.
With 44 shots on goal, the Czechs nearly quadrupled Denmark's 12 shots on goaltender Petr Mrazek, who recorded the shut out.
Tomas Hertl broke the ice for the Czech Republic, scoring the first two goals of the contest. A trio of assists was recorded by Ottawa Senators' prospect and QMJHL product, Jakub Kulek who is participating in his second U20 World Junior Championship.
Half of the goals were scored on the power play, with the final tally coming short-handed. The loss moves Denmark to 0-2 in the tournament.
SLOVAKIA 3 LATVIA 1 (8:00 pm MST @ Scotiabank Saddledome)
Slovakia continued their dominance over Latvia with a 3-1 victory in round robin play on day 2 of the World Junior Hockey Championships on Tuesday. Despite a great effort from goaltender, Kristers Gudlevskis Latvia recorded their second straight loss in the tournament.
Neither team scored in the first period which was a tight checking affair. Latvia opened the scoring in the second period with a marker from Juris Ziemens. Slovakia then rallied to score three straight goals including a pair of goals 5 minutes apart in the final frame.
Team Canada will be the next opponent in the preliminary round for the Czech Republic on Wednesday. Game time is 6:00 pm MST in Edmonton.

Two Umbrellas: Tied Up, Tied Down by Lorelei James
2 comments:
I love most of Lorelei James' books, and interestingly enough, my husband has taken a real shine to them, too ;-). But I have to say that in general, the sekkrit baby story makes me want to snatch out my hair. First, why are all these modern women getting knocked up during one-night stands? I've started talking about birth control with my 10 year old, for heaven's sake.
Secondly, I'm highly unsympathetic to the whole "going alone into motherhood" thing. It's grossly disrespectful to the man's rights and it flies in the face of the kid's best interest: how many single mothers are so well-off and stable that they can turn up their noses at child support? And the message it sends that loving, long-suffering women shouldn't try to "trap" or "burden" the poor man after they were carried away by passion? Please. If he doesn't wrap the package, he has to deal with the present nine months (and eighteen years) later.Yes. Yes. Yes. I agree that it sends the completely wrong message to younger women (and men). In fact, I have so much more to say on the trope that I'm going to write another blog on it. I think it sends the message that men are expendable and that pushing them out of a kid's life is a sign of female strength.

Masterworks from Budapest. From the Renaissance to the Avant-Garde
From 18 February to 28 May 2017
From 24 September 2013 to 06 January 2014
As early as 1980 the art historian Barbara Novak suggested the influence of Dutch Golden Age landscape painting on 19thcentury American painting. Both schools, with their different artistic styles and languages, chose landscape as their fundamental pictorial genre, the former transforming it into an independent subject and the latter into a means for expressing profound emotions. This new installation in the <exchanging gazes> series will present a selection of ten works from the Museum's exceptional collections, which will allow for a comparison of different interpretations of the landscape by Dutch artists such as Philips Koninck, Jan Josephsz. van Goyen and Jan Jansz. van der Heyden, and American painters including William Louis Sonntag, George Henry Durrie and Albert Bierstadt, among others.

The Tottenham striker helped his nation to all three points against Valid Halilhodzic's men, meaning Cote d'Ivoire become the competition's first side to reach the quarter-finals
Algeria became the first country to exit the Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday after they crashed to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Togo.
Given that the two teams lost their opening games, it was a make-or-break match for both sides, but Didier Six's men eventually came out on top thanks to goals from Emmanuel Adebayor and Dove Wome.
Nonetheless, it was the 1990 champions who started the brighter, creating a host of chances in the opening 25 minutes as Togo goalkeeper Kossi Agassa impressed to keep Algeria at bay.
Tottenham striker and Togolese talisman Adebayorsoon capitalised on the missed opportunities, latching onto a through ball in the 31st minute and beating Rais M'Bolhi.Slimani nearly drew Algeria level moments later, but Agassa's resilience prevented the 24-year-old from planting the ball in the back of the net.
Togo, who have not qualified beyond the group stage in their last six outings of the competition, managed to survive several Algerian onslaughts towards the end of the first half.
And Valid Halilhodzic's men continued to mount pressure on their West African opponents after the break, but Agassa stood firm, although several errors made by the 34-year-old went unpunished.
The match then had to be halted for five minutes in the final stages, after the referee spotted a fault with the Togolese goal post.And with 13 minutes of added time on the clock, the Algerians were then caught on the break as they pressed for an equaliser when substitute Wome beat M'Bolhi to make it 2-0.
The defeat leaves Algeria with no points after two matches following a 1-0 defeat by Tunisia in their 2013 Afcon opener.
They also become the first team to have been knocked out of the tournament, with the outcome of their final Group D match against Cote d'Ivoire now rendered insignificant.
The Elephants are also the first team to qualify for the quarter-final stage after becoming a beneficiary of Algeria's defeat.

Como Zoo orangutan picks Broncos to win Super Bowl
- Associated Press
- February 1, 2014 - 12:55 PM
ST. PAUL, Minn. — A prognosticating orangutan at a Minnesota zoo has picked the Denver Broncos to win Sunday's Super Bowl.
Amanda the Orangutan ran into her exhibit at St. Paul's Como Park Zoo on Saturday and went straight for a pair of boxes, each containing a shirt of the two teams battling for NFL supremacy, the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks.
After some last-minute contemplating, zoo officials say, she chose the Broncos box, tore out the blue shirt and put it on her hairy red body.
A zoo statement says Como's three other orangutans — Jambu, Markisa and Jaya — joined her to admire her new apparel and to play with other football-themed toys in their exhibit.

EXCLUSIVE: The international rollout starts Wednesday. But I've just learned that an internal Summit Entertainment estimate puts this weekend's domestic opening of Breaking Dawn Part 1 at $110 million to $125 million. That will make this fourth film in the Twilight Saga franchise the 2nd biggest weekend debut since the studio began making Stephenie Meyer's vampire romance novels into films — behind only the Twilight sequel New Moon. [UPDATE: Rival studios think Summit is lowballing and expect Breaking Dawn to debut to $142+M.] And remember this is a female-driven 2D movie. It's the 3D fanboy-driven movies that have been so hurt by slumping box office of late. Once again, the newest installment will be releasing into more than 4,061 locations in North America. No number of theaters yet known for the midnight opening Thursday. Since the franchise began, Twilight opened domestically to $69.6M in 2008, New Moon to $142.8M in 2009, Eclipse to $64.8M in 2010.
As for the day and date international rollout, here's the release schedule: November 16th Belgium, France, Italy, Netherlands, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland; November 17th – Australia, Argentina, Bahrain, Bolivia, Chile, CIS, Croatia, Czech, Denmark, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Lebanon, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Oman, Peru, Portugal, Qatar, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, UAE, Ukraine; November 18th – Aruba, Brazil, Bulgaria, Colombia, Ecuador, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Indonesia, Latvia, Lithuania, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Taiwan, Turkey, Uruguay, Venezuela, West Indies, UK.

Think the Emanuel brothers—Rahm, Ari, and Zeke—are power players?
His first book for young readers, Zeke BARTHOLOMEW: SUPERSPY!
Zeke and I talked a lot about love, family, marriage, our future.
But Zeke and I had given up so much to leave our ultra-Orthodox communities and become the individuals we were.
A few weeks after meeting Zeke, I told a friend of mine that I could see myself spending my life with him.
"You see I have not lived here long enough to become acquainted with everybody as Zeke has," replied Wheaton.
"I don't know," said Zeke, wiping his fingers on the hair of his head.
Zeke dropped it as if it had been a hot coal, and stood staring at it where it lay wilting on the hot ground.
Zeke was grinning to himself as he saw them step aboard the train.
Of course, as Zeke afterwards expressed it, "if he was coming in, we wanted to go out."
from Greek Thomas, of Aramaic origin and said to mean "a twin" (John's gospel refers to Thomas as ho legomenos didymos "called the twin;" cf. Syriac toma "twin," Arabic tau'am "twin"). Before the Conquest, found only as the name of a priest. After 1066, one of the most common given names in English. Doubting Thomas is from John xx:25; A Thomist (1530s, from Medieval Latin Thomista, mid-14c.) is a follower of 13c. scholastic theologian St. Thomas Aquinas. (Also see Tom, Tommy).

twin, one of the twelve (Matt. 10:3; Mark 3:18, etc.). He was also called Didymus (John 11:16; 20:24), which is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew name. All we know regarding him is recorded in the fourth Gospel (John 11:15, 16; 14:4, 5; 20:24, 25, 26-29). From the circumstance that in the lists of the apostles he is always mentioned along with Matthew, who was the son of Alphaeus (Mark 3:18), and that these two are always followed by James, who was also the son of Alphaeus, it has been supposed that these three, Matthew, Thomas, and James, were brothers.

This home is a rare find. From the moment you enter, your senses are overwhelmed by the natural beauty all around you. This retreat is situated on a 40 foot cliff overlooking Lake Superior. Local folks call it 'the glass house' due to the 180 degree views of Lake Superior.
Close enough to the Lutsen Ski Resort to enjoy all the amenities yet far enough to be away from all the crowds for some quiet time. The exterior walls are 65% windows with views of the lake and woods. A 10 by 15 foot skylight washes the main room with light. The total effect is that you are inside but feel at one with nature.
In the Great Room is a full kitchen, two dining areas, a gas fireplace, and a wonderful couch area under the skylight. The windows, with a beautiful view of the water, are framed with window seating. Under the window seats are many books sure to interest every reader, plus many games for the whole family to play. The bedrooms, which are separated by the Great Room, have queen beds and private full bathrooms. The master bath has a steam shower plus a whirlpool, over-sized, deep-soaking bathtub that overlooks the lake.

This property was built by Mary Ruth Barton in 1989 and held by the family partnership until 2015 when Mary Ruth's daughter, Kittie, through her Kittie Frantz Trust, purchased it from her siblings in a private sale. She knows you'll love to spend time there as much as she and her family does.
The Owner purchased this house in 1989
This home was a wonderful find! We loved the sunlit living room, comfortable furnishings and layout of the home. It's conveniently located near Lutsen, Grand Marais and great hiking. This will stay in my "favorites" folder!
We did have to learn how to manage the skylight venting but once we switched to manual it was great.
We enjoyed a relaxing (but too brief!) summertime visit to the Horizon house. This is a beautiful, serene, and welcoming property. We found it to be a great base for exploring the region and appreciated learning more about its special history, as well.
Thanks to the Owners for the timely responses to our inquiries, the very helpful info provided, and for allowing us to share in those stunning Lake Superior sunrises!
Safe to say the area and Horizon have four very happy new converts!
Our family just got done booking another stay at this beautiful house on Lake Superior. The views are amazing from every room and the great room is a perfect place for our family to hang out. Greta was helpful and easy to get a hold of with any issues that we had. Last year we received 6" of snow and the driveway was plowed out first thing in the morning. Great place to stay for skiing at Lutsen.
My husband and I, sister-in-law and brother-in-law come every year to Horizon house over President's weekend. When I read the recent review from someone who had a bad experience I had to write. We've been coming for over 10 years and have always enjoyed our visit. We too pay holiday rates, but compared to what you get elsewhere in the area, this house is private, with stunning views and room to have your own space if you want and the cost is much better! We are there in the winter and have never been cold in this house. With the radiant heating during the day, we rarely even turn on the thermostats at night. The windows do not leak unless you don't have them locked down tight. The place is always clean and when we have had a problem, we call Greta and she is available to us. It is true that the only TV is in the large bedroom. We do not come here to watch TV so it's never been a problem. Prior to finding Horizon House, our family rented many, many homes in the area, all up and down the North Shore but we have never found another place like Horizon House where we feel welcomed and comfortable. I'm sorry that other person had such a bad experience. That has NEVER been our experience.
We rented this house for a weekend while attending a wedding at nearby Lutsen Resort.
The house is a delight from the moment you enter, as the views are stunning and the great room is just that (great). This property is kept with loving care, and it shows.
Thanks to the owner and manager for a memorable experience. We'll be back.
After considering this place for 6 years, my family and I decided to splurge for 4 nights over Thanksgiving. While the location is beautiful and the layout of the home is ideal, it is not comfortable, and it definitely is not worth the holiday upcharge. The worst aspect of the home is the heating system. Our bedroom was probably 55 degrees on the first day--until sometime after midnight when the heat kicked in and turned our room into a 75-degree sauna. This was a nightly occurrence. I'm all for being "green" and economical (that's how I live), but it makes no sense to force guests to freeze during the day and sweat in the middle of the night; the time-of-use plan they're using does not work. Parts of the home were filthy. We could write our name in the dust in our bedroom, there was crud and thick cobwebs in every corner and dead bugs everywhere, and we found fecal matter in one of the toilets when we arrived. The only TV was in the freezing cold bedroom, so if we wanted to watch a movie as a family we had to squish on the queen-sized bed and sit under a pile of blankets. The instructions for the satellite, DVD player, TV, etc., were outdated. Some of the instructions contradicted each other, and others referred to equipment that was not present. The satellite remote was not working consistently due to weak batteries, but there were no extra batteries to be found. If the electricity went out, there was no flashlight either. The home advertises a large jetted tub, but instructions indicate there will be no additional hot water if you use it. The first night we had one cold shower and a partially filled tub. Although the view is gorgeous and the architecture is pleasant, this home is no longer contemporary, and it's not a "retreat" when one is physically uncomfortable due to a poor heating system (and cold air blowing in through the windows).
Directly on Lake Superior this home is 2 miles away from the Lutsen Ski Resort with its 18 hole golf course, alpine slide and many activities. The property is right on the bike path. A peregrine falcon nesting place is near by. Grand Marais is 18 miles further down the highway providing water activities and where a number of artists spend creative hours. The gunflint trail starts in that town and the boundary water canoe trips are legendary.

I attempted to get a list together some posts ago of what we'd done. Maybe those just joining us can resurrect/consult that if they'd like to have the Cliff's Notes version of what's happened. As Warren has subtly hinted, it's been rather weird in here the past few weeks. Mostly it's just because, again as Warren said, nobody has come up with an idea that's really set the world on fire (well, metaphorically, at least--one of the ideas we had might literally set the world on fire).
So, perhaps as a kick in the proverbial butt to get us motivated: (Click to show)

Listening to her father boast about her baseball-playing brother didn't sit well with Moreno Valley Vista del Lago softball player Anabella Serafin when she was younger.
"I can do that too, but I can do it better," said a confident Serafin.
The leadoff hitter and shortstop for the Ravens has carved out her own path on the diamond, excelling in softball. That's how Serafin got her start in the sport, looking to prove a point to her father who played college baseball.
Serafin, a junior, is now the centerpiece of a very young Vista del Lago squad which features just one senior for head coach Johnny Munoz.
"She's (Serafin) one to count on, she's our leadoff hitter and we can definitely count on her getting on base and pumping up these girls and not giving up," Munoz said.
This youthful Ravens (2-8) team has taken its lumps while enduring through a learning curve, but Serafin is always there to bring the team back up after a tough loss.
"I hate being down, I hate losing," said Serafin whose batting average is in the neighborhood of .350 for the season. "You never give up, you always come out fighting and give it your all through every single inning and every pitch,"
Serafin's never-say-die attitude has been contagious around her teammates.
"Boy Pep, it's a test of frustration because I know these girls are really talented," said coach Munoz. "It's just them settling down and producing every single inning and battling hard and not giving up."
Coaching has been an exercise in patience for Munoz this season, but his young team is coming around with Serafin leading the charge. And if Serafin wasn't playing softball she'd be coaching ⦠maybe at Vista del Lago someday?
"Oh yeah ⦠the program will go way past expectations," laughed Serafin.
Sound familiar? She already exceeded her father's expectations.

Javed Aktar News
Farhan Akhtar, happy birthday!
The dishy actor-singer and writer-filmmaker turned 38 today, and we tell you why we love him!
Why do we love Farhan Akhtar? Not only because he is dishy, but also because he is a great actor, director and writer, serving as a good new-age role model for kids. Never mind that he is not so great as a singer – but his style worked really well for a film like Rock On!!. Writing, of course, is in his genes. Born on January 9, 1974, to two of Bollywood's best writers – Javed Akhtar and Honey Irani – it's not surprising that Farhan took to the vocation, and so well. But the journey hasn't been easy for him. The man has really worked hard to be the multihyphenate that he is today. Believe it or not, he was an unambitious, sit-at-home college dropout once! His sister Zoya Ahtar, who is also a writer-filmmaker, had said in an interview that they were worried for Farhan seeing his laidback attitude. But we guess watching three-four films daily in those tough years of his life has really helped Farhan in making the kind of films that he does – the super cool kind. He started with directing Shankar Mahadevan's Breathless music video with sister Zoya. that was 1998, and the video was a first of its kind. Click here to read more -

Ever wanted to see two people squirm as a radio DJ essentially blows them on the air? Watch the above clip where a QTV host gives a breathless introduction of Broken Bells and then makes them answer questions that they give slow, deliberate answers to. Then they talk a little about the Shins (Mercer sort of left them to do something "challenging"), and whether or not they'll do another Broken Bells album (yes). Watch the whole thing above, that is if you're interested in spending 18 minutes hearing about Broken Bells. [A Heart Is A Spade]

Andrew, what would you have done to make a radio interview better? Because, as a radio broadcaster myself, I'm interested to hear how you would have approached this. If you would have taken two minutes to research you would have found that the interviewer's name is Q, thus QTV, and that the interview was going national in Canada, not just to indie elitist know-it-alls. I thought Q painted a great portrait of Broken Bells to all those who probably have no idea who the Shins or Dangermouse are to begin with. I guess you would have just bulled your way through the interview without giving any sort of background or introduction. So come off your high horse and build instead of destroy. I rarely listen to Q, but I have the utmost respect for his skills as an interviewer and presenter, and to read your pompous interpretation of this interview sickens me. But then again, it's much easier to sit behind a keyboard and type negativity with out any risk of facing backlash yourself, isn't it.

The Seeker crosses time zones and continents in a relentless quest for the world's best wines, bringing the thrill of adventure and discovery with each sip. View all The Seeker Wines
About Provence
Not just a destination for tourists and movie stars, Provence makes some delicious and easy-drinking wines. Most of these wines are rosé – a dry, pale, pink style rose. The climate here is Mediterranean, with most of the vines planted on southern facing slopes to avoid the fierce Mistral winds. Thirteen varieties are permitted in the region, the most important for rose being Carignan, Grenache and Cinsault. A move is being made to bring in more varieties, like Syrah, to increase the quality of the wines.Notable Facts
The most important appellation is Côtes de Provence, where about 80% of the production is the typical style rose. Unfortunately, the easy-drinking aspect does not translate to the price – some of these wines are a bit pricey for drink-today wines. Some producers are making a shift to higher quality while others are selling their wines at a bargain. Either way, Côtes de Provence rose is a delicious match with any provence-style garlic-y cuisine. Other appellations to note include Bandol, Bellet, Les Baux-de-Provence, Cassis and Côteaux d'Aix-en-Provence. Though Côtes de Provence rules in amount of wine produced, the quality appellation to know is Bandol. Mostly red and mostly Mourvedre, the wines of Bandol are able to age a few years, like many a Chateauneuf-du-Pape, but also enjoyed in their youth.About South America

Fund Goal and Approach
The fund seeks long-term growth of capital. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, in equity securities of companies located, organized, or with a majority of assets or business in emerging market countries, including underlying funds that invest in such securities. The fund uses a 'manager of managers' approach by selecting one or more investment managers to serve as subadvisers to the fund. The fund also uses a 'fund of funds' approach by investing in one or more underlying funds.
Emerging Market Risk: Emerging markets tend to be more volatile than the markets of more mature economies, and generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries. The fund's concentration in securities of companies in emerging markets could cause the fund's performance to be more volatile than that of more geographically diversified funds.
Equity Risk: Equity funds are subject generally to market, market sector, market liquidity, issuer and investment style risks, among other factors, to varying degrees, all of which are more fully described in the fund's prospectus.
Foreign Investment Risk: To the extent the fund invests in foreign securities, its performance will be influenced by political, social and economic factors affecting investments in foreign companies. These special risks include exposure to currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability, and differing auditing and legal standards.
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the fund carefully before investing. Download a prospectus, or a summary prospectus, if available, that contains this and other information about the fund, and read it carefully before investing.

In a world of 90210's, Gossip Girl's and Vampire Diaries the traditional prime time serial drama has become a focused menage of teen and twenty something angst. As a mother in her thirties I have 'been there done that', so not going there again.
My thirties angst is supplied by a medical drama with the passion of a daytime soap and the pace of the famed E.R., what more could you want? This Prime Time drama has gone from no name to Hollywood scandal and back. The cast of characters is forever evolving as are the plots and the relationships. The anchors of the show Derrick Shepard and Meredith Grey are a fantastic on screen couple. The entire series revolves around the activities of Seattle Grace hospital. The challenges of patient care, personal relationships and the hazards of life in general.
The thing that draws me back every week is the brilliant writing. Shonda Rhimes is a beacon for all female writers who know romance and drama can exist in the same space. The plots are always moving forward, instead of remaining stuck in a recycling mode of story-lines. The relationships are the closest thing to reality I have ever seen on Prime Time.
Lovers and friends making mistakes and paying for them, Shonda never lets her characters off the hook when it comes to Karma adding a grounding that few shows can accomplish. Now I will admit the plots will at times go to the extremes, however this is entertainment after all. I will say though that my favorite episodes are the ones where the patients and or real issues are the focus.
There is one episode I remember clearly about a group of couples who get into a car accident. All are in their 40s and 50s, and lifelong friends. It is revealed in the episode that more than two of the characters have been secretly having affairs with the other. You automatically hear the dramatic music playing in the background, right? Well it is dramatic but not in a flamboyant manner. The episode soon shifts from the medical crisis to the crisis of two women whose friendship is about to die with the revelation. It is well acted, touching and real. There were no cat fights or screaming, just muted heartbreak and stunning physical emotion.
That is the kind of story and the magnificent writing I enjoy every week. Next time you have a chance plop down and settle in for an hour of Seattle Grace hospital. It is well worth it and you'll come back for more.
Grey's Anatomy will always be in my top ten favorite shows for its wit, banter and unique ability to relay the emotion, commitment and challenges of fictional life.

Big Rapids, Mich. - The Ferris State University women's golf team was honored Wednesday for its accomplishment in winning the University of Indianapolis Fall Invitational earlier this week by being chosen as WOOD Radio's Montell Construction Team of the Day.
A new team from West Michigan is selected and honored by the Grand Rapids-based station each day this fall as part of the "Montell Hometown Team of the Day" program. The winning team is announced following the morning sports update from longtime sports radio personality Bret Bakita at 7:19 a.m. on Wood Radio 1300 AM and 106.9 FM.
The Bulldogs carded a 308 team score over Monday's final 18 holes of action to finish at 615 for the two-day event and three strokes ahead of host Indianapolis and Arkansas Tech to claim the tournament title. FSU carded a 307 total and trailed UIndy by a single stroke heading into the final round before pulling out the win on the par 72 course measuring 5,976 yards at Heartland Crossing Golf Links in Camby, Ind.
Sophomore Libby Berens and senior Emily Rohdy both earned all-tournament team accolades as each tied for eighth place in the event. Senior Ashley Swanson tied for 15th in the field with senior Jacqueline (DeBoer) Mulder coming in tied for 23rd and Elizabeth Bauernfeind placing tied for 29th overall. FSU's Kelsey McKinley also competed as an individual and wound up tied for 77th in the field.
Ferris State will next take part in the Gilda's Club Laker Fall Invite, which will be hosted by Grand Valley State and played at The Meadows Golf Course in Allendale this Saturday (Sep. 28) and Sunday (Sep. 29).
More information on the "Team Of the Day" can be found via the Bakita Blog on the WOOD Radio website:

Be Nice to Your Waitress!
Six good reasons not to be rude the next time you dine out.
We've all been there: out for a nice (and possibly expensive) meal, and the waiter messes up. Maybe she brought you the wrong entrée, maybe you never got that refill on your chardonnay, and all you want to do is tell her off. But an ex-waitress at Hello Giggles is here with half a dozen good reasons to hold your tongue. Among the list are some clichés—maybe she's having a bad day, and why would you want to mess with someone who could mess with your food? But the best and yet most oft-overlooked reason is the simplest: it's just food. Chill out. You and your server (not to mention your dinner companions) will all have a better day if everyone stays calm.

Eagles Good Enough vs. NY Giants
Posted on 21 Nov 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Occasionally a blind squirrel will stumble upon a nut. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. From time to time, the Eagles will actually fail to fall apart in the fourth quarter and actually come up with a victory. All hope would have been dashed with a loss to the New York Football Giants. As it stands it may take nothing short of a series of improbable upsets and divine intervention but ...

Rex or No Rex. That is the Question!

With Rex Grossman being pulled from the Eagles game late in the 3rd quarter after throwing 4 interceptions, is this a sign that he's done for the season, like Donovan McNabb last year? John Beck did play well, but it was 1 quarter. Grossman has played good quarters. So who should start? No matter who starts, it's a gamble for Shanahan and extremely aggravating for fans because it se...

Black Hole Bowl: Fourth Preseason Game (is for the Birds)

OK, I'll admit, preseason football is never referred to as exciting, scintillating or even mildly amusing.

It is as likely that the fourth-string QB who plays most of the fourth quarter will trade his Eagles jersey for a hot dog vendor cart by Sept...

Craig Kathy Bower's cramped office in downtown Craig isn't indicative of the large geographical area she manages as the Division 6 water commissioner for the Department of Natural Resources.
She can drive 20 miles north or south, 50 miles east or west, and still be in the area she's responsible for overseeing. Yet, space is at a premium in her narrow office, which she shares with colleague Roberta Hume.
Nonetheless, plush office digs or not, Bower is excelling at her post. Proof of that lies with a recent award Bower received for Division 6, which encompasses a large area in Northwest Colorado.
Bower has been named Division 6 Water Commissioner of the Year.
"It was really a no-brainer who deserved it," Division 6 engineer Erin Light said of Bower's award. Light nominated Bower for the award.
Bower was more modest in her reaction to the award.
"Well I guess I was kind of surprised in a way, but we did have a pretty rough summer," Bower said, "or I should say, I had a rough summer."
Summers are a particularly busy time for Bower, a time when she can rarely be found in the close quarters of her office.
As water commissioner, she's responsible for a variety of duties, including things as complicated as balancing the needs of environmentalists seeking to protect endangered species, and ranchers hoping to divert much-needed water to irrigate crops.
Fortunately, for people in Division 6, Bower understands the important role water plays for many groups of people.
"I feel like it's my job to be the go-between," Bower said, "I understand what they're going through."
Water management and oversight runs in Bower's family. Her father, Moffat County resident Jack Leonard, was a rancher and also worked as a water commissioner.
It was the same position Bower now holds.
With drought conditions in recent years, and changes in technology, state and national governments are keeping much closer tabs on who is using water, and just as important, how much they're using, Bower said.
A complex set of laws are in place that state officials must enforce regarding water use and management. It falls on Bower to keep people informed about the laws.
"Times have changed," she said. "Water is getting so critical."
However, the job isn't without its share of benefits. Namely, you never know what tomorrow might bring, Bower said.
"You never know where you're going to go," she said. And, with a chuckle, she added, "Oh well, I guess that's what makes life interesting."

I am considering this name if we have a baby girl. I am due in less than four months with my third child and do not know the baby's gender. Has anyone ever heard of this name? Or have any suggestions as to where I might find its meaning. I was watching a dog show on TV and one of the dogs had this name. I know kind of weird to name my child after a dog but it has to have an origin somewhere, right?! Thanks for any help you can offer. I really really like this name but want to know what it means.

The producer of hit shows such as Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and Kuch Toh Log Kahenge reveals the secret behind their success
Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai completed three years last week and Rajan Shahi, the man behind the success of the show, tells us that the formula is very simple: there is no formula. Rajan and his production house, Director's Kut, conceive shows that are different from those on air – simple enough, you think? There's a lot that goes into making a show and there's hardly anyone who knows that better than Rajan. Having been a director for over 12 years, he entered production when he felt he needed more creative challenges. After directing the iconic Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin and producing shows like Chaand Chupa Badal Mein, Sapna Baabul Ka Bidaai, Yeh Rishta…, Havan and Kuch Toh Log Kahenge under his own banner, you would think Rajan would be happy to rest on his laurels. But no, what he is doing nowadays is helping to conceive another family drama. Between meetings, Rajan spoke about false gimmicks that raise TRPs and the changes he's seen in the television industry.
What do you look at when you decide to produce a show?
Definitely the concept. There's no guarantee to success. A concept will or will not work. You should go by the creative aspect, and by what appeals to you. If it doesn't excite you, it won't touch the viewers.
Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai has completed three years. Isn't it tough to sustain audience interest for that long?
The main thing about Yeh Rishta is that there is no negativity; the moments between the couple are subtle. There are no false gimmicks just to increase ratings. I've never done it on any of my shows, be it Bidaai, Yeh Rishta or Kuch Toh Log Kahenge. And that is its strength. There is no false drama. The story decides the highpoints and not the other way around.
Can urban audiences really identify with a family that lives in palatial houses and is dressed to the nines the entire day, the way it is in Yeh Rishta….?
The costumes and jewellery, especially those of Akshara (Hina Khan) are very popular in the urban and NRI audiences. We've got feedback where people have wanted to buy similar saris and jewellery. The costumes are true to the show we have made. It's an affluent family, so they will be dressed up. In Kuch Toh Log Kahenge, you don't see them wearing such costumes.
Why is Kuch Toh… moving so slowly?
The channel guys have been telling me that the show is moving too quickly. See, it is audience perception. You should just let the story decide the pace.
What's your plan for 2012?
We will concentrate on solidifying the shows that we have. We are also in the process of drafting a family drama for Imagine TV.
Any more remakes like Kuch Toh…?
Not at the moment.
Any plans to return to direction?
I did it for 12 years… I even directed Bidaai. Earlier a director was a part of the scripting, costumes and even editing, but nowadays a director's job has been divided up. The quantity has increased so much with shows being dailies and not weeklys that it is difficult to do everything yourself. So I take over the other aspects of direction so that the director can concentrate on the creative aspects and the on-floor direction. But I don't see myself returning to on-floor directing soon. Most of my directors started their careers working for people under me and they have now become series directors. So they are like offshoots of my family tree. They have been around for so many years, I feel they are like an extension of me. It's the same way with the actors. Director's Kut has introduced several newcomers like Angad Hasija and Kinshuk Mahajan, who are now doing very well.
Would you produce a reality show?
There are no plans right now, but why not? I think they are great. When done intelligently, they can be brilliant to watch. Some of the reality shows on air are more scripted than our fiction shows. Audiences are smart, they can make that out.
You've been in the television industry for a long time. What are the changes you have seen?
The pressure of TRPs is really increasing. It has become important to deliver in a short time. Earlier, you had the time to groom the show, but now everyone wants instant success. So fear has set in, and you do what's predictable. There is also no stability factor. You work on a show for a couple of years and it is taken off air in a year. Instead of weekly, the shows are dailies, so you have to produce more in the same amount of time. There is also a lot of cheap crassness that has come in, bordering on vulgarity. There should be some censoring. Television is an impressionable medium, a family medium. I believe we have a social responsibility. But then you always have the remote. Don't like it, just change the channel!

During his last term as Minister of Agriculture, Whelan became good friends with Aleksandr Yakovlev (external - login to view), then the USSR's Ambassador to Canada, as both men were ardent agriculturalists. The relationship became so close that Pierre Trudeau called him in to give assurance that he had not divulged any national secrets, as Whelan was a member of the Cabinet defence committee.
When Mikhail Gorbachev (external - login to view), then Soviet Minister of Agriculture, came to Canada in 1983, Yakovlev connected Gorbachev with Whelan, who arranged a three-week tour across Canada for both Soviet officials, accompanied fully by Whelan. In 2013, Jean Chrétien (external - login to view) recalled Gorbachev experiencing Canada up close, when the tour came to Windsor:
He came to Windsor and introduced him to the life of a Canadian, Chretien said. He was amazed at the food processing in Canada, to have all the food available so quickly. Later on, they were driving and he was marvelling to see two cars in front of every house.
The group stopped in front of one blue-collar home.Gorbachev said, Do you know them? And Gene said, I dont know them, but they know me, Chretien recalled. So they knocked on the door and went into the house. Gorbachev was very impressed by that.[
At the end of that tour, the Whelans hosted a farewell reception for Gorbachev at their Amherstburg home on the evening of 19 May 1983, but Whelan himself was delayed in arriving. In what has since been called "the walk that changed the world", Yakovlev and Gorbachev took a walk in a nearby orchard, strolled among saplings and then past fields of corn, soy and wheat, had an earnest discussion, and resolved that the old ways in the USSR had to end.
According to Yakovlev's own words, this was where perestroika (external - login to view) was born, with 80% of its features covered in that brief time in Whelan's back yard.
In an interview years later, Yakovlev recalled:
At first we kind of sniffed around each other and our conversations didn't touch on serious issues. And then, verily, history plays tricks on one, we had a lot of time together as guests of then Liberal Minister of Agriculture Eugene Whelan in Canada (external - login to view) who, himself, was too late for the reception because he was stuck with some striking farmers somewhere.
So we took a long walk on that Minister's farm and, as it often happens, both of us suddenly were just kind of flooded and let go. I somehow, for some reason, threw caution to the wind and started telling him about what I considered to be utter stupidities in the area of foreign affairs, especially about those SS-20 (external - login to view) missiles that were being stationed in Europe (external - login to view) and a lot of other things. And he did the same thing.
We were completely frank. He frankly talked about the problems in the internal situation in Russia (external - login to view). He was saying that under these conditions, the conditions of dictatorship and absence of freedom, the country would simply perish. So it was at that time, during our three-hour conversation, almost as if our heads were knocked together, that we poured it all out and during that three-hour conversation we actually came to agreement on all our main points

Posted Tue 11th of December 2012
More changes to our marriage
This is the sequel to "Husband's assistant". I suggest that you read that first.
When I had woken up that morning I had looked out the window and seen that it was a beautiful day – just perfect for spending a few hours in and beside our pool. So while we ate breakfast and discussed last night and how it had changed our life together, I was dressed in my bikini.
After breakfast I got up to clear the table and wash the dishes. Andrew came behind me and tugged at the bows at the back of my top, which fell to the floor.
"Andrew, why did you do that?"
"Because I want you naked for the rest of today and all tomorrow."
"But, I was planning on spending an hour or two by the pool."
"Well. You'll be able to get an all-over tan. I'd really like that."
"But what if Les or Ken sees me?"
Les and Wendy, on one side, and Ken and Sarah, on the other side are our neighbours.
"So what? Let them perv all they like, I say."
"You really don't mind other men perving on your wife?"
"Actually, I like the idea of other men seeing how beautiful my wife is."
"You've changed overnight."
"I guess that I have. I hope that you like the new me, because I don't think that I'm likely to change back."
Then he tugged at the bows on the sides of my bikini bottom and it fell to the floor too.
"How come I have to be naked but you're not?"
I turned away from the sink and slid his shorts down. He stepped out of them.
I went outside to the pool and lay on a chaise longue to enjoy the sun. A bit later I heard our phone ring briefly. Soon after my husband came outside to tell me about his conversation.
"That was Wendy on the phone. She told me that you were outside completely naked. I told her that I had insisted that you remain naked for the rest of the weekend. She told me that Les was upstairs with a pair of binoculars staring at you. I invited her and Les to come over here for a few beers and a barbeque. I warned her before she answered that I was naked too, and would be for the rest of the weekend.
"She asked, 'Do you expect us to be naked too?' 'No,' I said, 'but I certainly would like it if you were naked, and I'm sure that Vera would prefer it if Les were naked too.' 'I'll talk to Les.' she said and hung up."
I gave him a tube of block-out and asked him to protect my skin from sunburn. He covered my whole body and was just giving my nipples extra attention when our front-door bell rang. Without bothering to cover up he went to answer.
He came back outside with Wendy and Les. Wendy had on a tiny bikini and Les wore shorts. They were both barefoot. Les was carrying a slab of beer and Wendy had a bowl of salad.
I got up to take the salad from Wendy and put it on a table near our barbeque Then I gave Wendy a hug and a kiss before turning to Les and giving him the same treatment. As I pressed my body against his I felt a considerable bulge in his crotch.
"Thank you Les. I assume that that bulge in your shorts is in appreciation of my naked body, rather than my husband's"
Les pulled his shorts down, allowing his erect cock to spring free.
"Yes, Vera, this is the effect that you have on me. Do you like it?"
"Les! How embarrassing! Put it away."
"No Wendy. I'm flattered that I have that effect on your husband. Don't ask him to put it away. We're all adults here, aren't we?"
Andrew handed out beers and we all sat around starting to chat when the phone rang again. Andrew went inside to answer it and came back grinning.
"That was Ken on the phone. He says that Sarah tells him that we are having a nude pool party. He wanted to know why they had not been invited. They'll be here in a few minutes."
Sarah and Ken arrived, carrying a couple of bottles of wine. They both stripped off the few clothes that they had worn. Wendy was the only one not naked. When everyone had a drink Sarah had a question.
"Andrew, you've never done anything like this before. What's the occasion?"
Hoping to avoid embarrassing details about the night before I answered first.
"Andrew and I took his client to dinner and ended up signing him up for a big contract."
But Andrew wasn't having that. He launched into a detailed description of the evening, although he did not reproduce the conversation between him and Fred, concentrating instead on the interactions between Fred and me. By the time that he had described Fred finger fucking me in the restaurant all three men had erect cocks.
"What a slut!" Sarah said, but the grin on her face said that she might have liked to do the same thing.
By the time that Andrew got to the bit where I was being fucked in both holes, I looked around the group, expecting to detect their disapproval, instead all that I saw was arousal.
"Fuck! I'd love to be fucked like that.", was Sarah's comment.
"So would I. But of course I could never do that. It would destroy our marriage.", Wendy added.
"It wouldn't destroy our marriage if I were one of the men fucking you. It sounds pretty exciting to me.", her husband responded.
"Well, judging by their celebration here today, it does not seem to have harmed Vera and Andrew's marriage." Sarah suggested.
"Actually,", I said, "I was pretty worried afterwards, even though Fred signed the contract, but it turns out that Andrew was aroused rather than jealous the whole time with Fred. I've told him that I'm up for winning more contracts and he seems to like the idea."
"Yes,", Andrew offered, "I didn't think that I would like seeing my wife with another man but it actually tuned me on big time. The best part was when I decided to join in."
At that point I decided that Wendy should lose her bikini, so I walked behind her undid her top and set it aside. Then I beckoned to Andrew and handed my tube of block-out to him.
"Andrew, Wendy does not want sunburnt tits. Would you put some of this on for her, please."
Wendy looked shocked at first, but she seemed to enjoy having her tits massaged by my husband because she was purring when he finished. I saw her look at her husband so I followed her gaze in time to see him wink at her.
"Stand up, Wendy,", my husband said, "and take of your bottom. I'll protect down there too."
I was a little surprised when she complied, I've always found her more inhibited than Sarah or me. A glance at her husband told me that he was more than happy with this development.
"I can't stand it any longer.", Sarah declared, "I want to borrow your husband, Vera, for a DP. Is that all right with you?"
"Sure. It's OK with me provided that we can all watch, I'll fetch some lube for you."
By the time that I got back with the tube of lube, Ken was lying on his back on the floor and Sarah was on top of him with Ken's cock balls deep in her cunt. Andrew was standing behind Sarah, stroking his erect cock and finger fucking her arsehole while he waited for me to bring the lube.
"Here Wendy. Come and help me. You lube Andrew's cock while I put more lube in Sarah's arsehole."
I hoped that Wendy would do as I had asked her because, if today was to be as much fun as it promised to be, she would need to lose all her inhibitions. I was delighted when she stood up, took the lube from me and proceeded to spread it all over my husband's erection, stroking it as she did to spread the lube evenly. Meanwhile I put one finger covered with lube into Sarah's arsehole and wiggled it about wanting to apply the lube and also stretch her hole a little.
Wendy moved my husband forward holding his cock, which she positioned at Sarah's rear entrance, then urged him forward with a hand on his bum cheek. It seemed that Wendy was less inhibited than I had judged earlier, or was it the mixture of alcohol that she had drunk, and sexual tension that was in the air? I didn't really care why. I was just pleased that she was joining in.
"Oh! My God! That feels incredible."
Sarah seemed to be enjoying her first DP ever.
Les had turned his chair around so that he could watch the action comfortably. Wendy went and sat on his lap, with her arm around his shoulders. He had one arm around her waist, the other hand was playing with her nipple. Wendy moved his hand from her nipple to her pussy.
"Wendy, honey, I bet you'd like to be experiencing what Sarah' experiencing. Wouldn't you?"
"Oh! Yes! But wouldn't that be naughty?"
"Yes. It would be naughty. Doesn't that make you want to do it all the more?"
"Oh! Dear! I feel so naughty, just for wanting to do it. Are you shocked?"
"Shocked No. Not at all. I'm happy that you are feeling so sexy. When these three have finished I'm going to ask Andrew or Ken to join me, fucking you like that. What about that?"
By now Andrew, Sarah, and Ken were fucking wildly.
"Oh! Fuck me, you two. Oh! Shit! Yes!"
"I'm cumming." "So am I." "Oh! Me too."
They all collapsed in a heap of post-coital ecstasy.
Eventually Andrew, Sarah, and Ken came back to the real world and helped each other up. Sarah and Ken found chairs, while Andrew organised a fresh round of beers for every one, before sitting down too.
That looked SO exciting,", Les said, "that Wendy tells me that she wants to experience the same thing."
"How embarrassing!" Wendy was blushing.
"So, would you, Andrew, or you, Ken, help me fuck Wendy, when you're ready?"
"I'd love to," my husband replied, "but I think that maybe Ken should do this. What do you say, Ken?"
"Yeah. I'm up for it. Just give me a few minutes to finish this beer first. OK?"
"You know, Vera,", my husband said, "I'm going away again this week, and I would be much happier if I knew that you were fucking Les and Ken, but no one else. How would you feel about that?"
"Don't you think that Sarah and Wendy might object to that?", I replied.
"Vera, I would be OK with you and Ken fucking on two conditions … no three conditions. (1) I must always be present, (2) you must agree to eat my pussy either while you are being fucked, or immediately afterwards, and (3) we must have a party like this one often. Do you agree Ken? Do you two agree Andrew and Vera?"
"Sarah, I'm happy with all your conditions. I really look forward to eating your pussy, and I've enjoyed today so much that I really look forward to repeating it soon. One thing though – if I'm going to be eating your pussy I'd like you to eat mine as well. OK?"
"Of course I'd be happy to eat your pussy too. I just did not need, to make it one of my conditions. What about you Ken. Are you willing to fuck Vera subject to my conditions?"
"It sounds good to me. I've never dreamt that I could fuck any one else because I don't want to cheat on you, but if we accept your conditions then I guess I'm not cheating when I fuck Vera."
"Yes. Your conditions sound very sensible to me. The only one which binds me is the one about doing all this again often, and I'm really happy that that is what you want, because I want it too."
"What about you two, Wendy, Les?"
"I'm not sure how Wendy would feel about my fucking Vera, even with Sarah's conditions." Les replied.
"Why? It's not very different from what we've been doing here today. Wendy, if you've enjoyed today why wouldn't you enjoy more of the same with just you and Les and Vera?"
"Yes … If you put it like that. I guess that I would like that. What do you say, Les?"
"As long as you are OK, I'd love it. But it doesn't have to be just the three of us. Especially at weekends we could include Ken and Sarah as well. It could be almost as much fun as here today."
"So Vera, do you promise to limit yourself to these two men and their wives while I'm away?"
"Yes, sure, honey."
"OK,", Ken said, "let's fuck Wendy now."
Soon Wendy was sandwiched between Ken and Les, with Les in her cunt and Ken fucking her arsehole.
"Oh! My god! I've never felt like this before. Fuck me Ken. Fuck me Les. Oooohhhh!"
After Wendy's DP we sat and talked about future plans. It turned out that Andrew was leaving on Monday morning for another business trip, which left the possibility of repeating Saturday's fun again the next day. Every one agreed that that was a very good idea.
"You know,", Sarah suggested, "if you guys would make a hole in the fence between our place and yours, Ken and I could come and go, naked without being seen by any other neighbours."
Andrew went and got a few tools and Ken and he soon had a gap in the fence between our two back yards wide enough for Sarah and Ken to come and go comfortably.
"So, Wendy, Les," Andrew asked, "do you want backyard access too?"
"But, how would I explain it to my mum and dad when they see it?", Wendy fretted.
"Just tell them that we have invited you to use our pool whenever you like, which is true, and it saves you going out into the street in just your bikini. You don't have to tell them that we expect you to swim naked in our pool.", I suggested.
"Yes. They would buy that. And it would never occur to the that anyone might swim naked in your pool, certainly not their innocent daughter. OK. Let's have a gap in our fence too."
In no time Andrew Ken and Les had opened a comfortable gap in Wendy and Les's fence too.
"We'll worry about gates later.", Andrew suggested.
Later that evening, after the other two couples had gone home through the holes in their fences, carrying their clothes, Andrew and I were sitting by the pool in the twilight.
"Shit! Andrew! I can't believe how much our lives have changed in just two days. I hope that it is for the best. What do you think?"
"Well, I know for sure that I've enjoyed every minute of every fuck that we have shared and I'm really looking forward to more of the same. I think that it is for the best. Don't you?"
"I hope so. I guess that if either of us has any problems the important thing is that we talk about them. OK?"
"Yes. I'm sure that you're right."

$18,981.00 max. Obama shows a 5.5 % decrease in taxes and a $567.00 reduction in taxes.
I am no rocket scientist but if 5.5% = $567.00. HUH.
How much in taxes TOTAL do these POOR PEOPLE pay. As far as I know at that yearly wage most people pay little if any taxes

07-19-2008, 01:45 AMA single person with taxable income at $20,000 (not AGI) would pay close to $3k in taxes. 5.5% of that amount would be less than $200 in savings under Obama's tax plan.
A single person with AGI of $20k would wind up with paying taxes on approximately $11k which would equal taxes of around $1,300 x 5.5% which would equal a savings of less than 100 bucks.
The figures are bogus as far as I can tell because if you multiply $10,310 x 5.5% you come up with $567, and there is no way someone grossing $19k will pay $10k plus in income taxes.Last edited by lacarnut; 07-19-2008 at 02:04 AM.

Wait till the UN floats the idea of a world tax to help the poor. When Americans making 6 bucks an hour find out that they are well paid according to the UN and they owe tax, maybe, just maybe their attitude about taxation will change.
