Warning! I'm quite in love with these pants, so there are a few way too many photos in this post.
I'd been coveting this fabric for quite a while. I checked on it every time I went into JoAnn's (which I have to admit is quite frequent - I always need buttons or thread or elastic or something. I don't hesitate to let myself get distracted and look at other things), but each time I was able to talk myself out of it. It was $15/yard which I would readily pay for quite a few fabrics, but I wasn't quite there yet with this one.
Finally, on about the fifth visit (don't worry - before my fabric challenge), I gave in. I didn't even have a coupon. After the nice lady at the cutting counter cut my 1 1/4 yards, she scanned the bar code at the end of the bolt and said, "this came up at 2.97". What? Woo hoo. I had the good sense to have her cut me another yard at the time, but why, oh why, didn't I get even more?!
I love the Oliver & S sailboat pants pattern, but I've made at least four pairs of pants for Addie from that pattern, so I thought it was time to branch out. I'd seen some great photos on Japan Couture Addicts blog of Pants O from Happy Homemade 2, so I thought that would be a good pattern to try. It was definitely a good choice. With only four pieces (counting each back pocket), they sew up really fast, and the fit and cut is just great. I love the slight flare of the legs even though I did end up having to cut off about 4 inches.
They remind me of a pair of pants I had - or at least imagine that I had when I was little. It's what made me think of the jeep photo I posted the other day. I even thought I might have been wearing those pants in the photo. No such luck.
The shirt was another pattern from this book:
I actually finished it a week or so ago, but didn't have any bottoms (as in skirts, pants, etc.) to photograph it with. Since the shirt was kind of long and baggy, none of the recent skirts I made seemed to work. Finally these pants worked. The fabric was another $15/yard one - one that I knew I wanted immediately - and no luck on a great deal this time either. It's a very fine, lightweight cotton with some sweet flowers and vines attached. I think the woman at the store thought I was buying it for some kind of bridal thing. For the most part, it was pretty nice to sew with except when you ended up with one of the big flowers in the seam.
Turns out the pants also look great with the jacket I finished last weekend.
It was a beautiful, unseasonably warm day, so Addie had plenty of time to play outside while I took pictures. Much easier than trying to capture the last few hours of daylight that reach inside the house.
First, Addie tried some skateboarding. (That thing is actually supposed to be a sled.)
Then some shoveling. How she didn't end up on her butt, I don't know.
Then we decided to take a walk around to the front of the house. (She's really not putting her hands down her pants - she's demonstrating use of the back pockets.)
There was a lot of melting going on.
Happy almost Spring!

It is difficult to believe that here I am writing for the second time about a statue.
But write I must, because based on what I hear chatted about, this must be one of the most important issues of the day.
The subject is the bronze lady with the bare breast in the Overland Park Arboretum, and the fact that an activist is out gathering 4,700 signatures to trigger the formation of a grand jury to judge whether the statue is obscene.
This would be the second attempt. The first was about a year ago, when enough petition-signers did cause a grand jury to be seated. The grand jury of 15 citizens mulled it over for a day and dismissed the charges.
At the time of the first controversy, I suggested in my column that the city of Overland Park simply move the statue to, say, the Nerman Museum at the Johnson County Community College. If the statue bothered that many folks, then it wasn't worth the controversy.
But that was then, and this is now.
If a grand jury was called and decided the statue was not obscene, the case should be closed. End of story.
In the meantime, however, the Kansas Legislature, in its meddling wisdom, changed the way things are to be conducted.
In last year's grand jury proceedings, the Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe was in charge. It was an orderly process. Howe called no witnesses, because he probably never dreamed anyone with real credentials would testify in such an absurd case.
Under the new law, the citizen protesters can create their own circus.
So-called expert witnesses can be called — if they can be found — to testify that the statue is causing great harm to children, that somehow it will leave a lasting negative effect on their fragile consciences.
Even though the statue is "sexting," it is not going to warp the minds of children. But, I will repeat, it is inappropriate for a public park.
A few words keep repeating in my head, over and over, as I consider the petition-gathering efforts and a second grand jury: "Get a life!"
How could an activist plus 4,700 petitioners believe this statue is worthy of a grand jury, let alone a second grand jury?
Not that this is costly to Overland Park.
The city spent $35,000 on forming its defense in the first grand jury. They will use the same defense the second time around, so it should cost the city nothing more, except wasted time.
I still think the statue should be moved, because it is obnoxious to more than a few citizens. But I would never, ever sign a petition to form a grand jury to judge whether it is obscene. That is way over the top.
Hopefully, if we are all lucky, grand jury No. 2 — even after hearing all the experts and pleas — will decide within a number of hours that the statue is not obscene and is not harmful, even though it may be annoying.
If things turn out differently and the statue is somehow found to be damaging to the youth, that would be obscene.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C)
1.In our previous studies, it was revealed that a family of HPVs, HPV4,60 and 65, is associated with not only a specific histologic feature of the homnogeneous intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies but also a characteristic clinical picture of the pigmented warts. In this study we have clearly demonstrated that melanin granules were increased specifically in HPV4/60/65-associated warts, suggesting HPV type-specific pigmentary disorder (Br J Dermatol, 1998). We will attempt immunohistochemical and molecular biological studies to understand the pathomechanism of the HPV type-specific pigmentary disorder in our next year's project.2.HPV 60 is the only virus that has been found in plantar epidermoid cysts. In the present study we have found HPV 57 in a plantar epidermoid cyst which showed a different histological feature from that of HPV 60-associated plantar epidermoid cyst (Br J Dermatol, 1998). We are investigating the relationshop between the epidermoid cysts and HPV 57 in much larger number of plantar epidermoid cysts.Using computor we performed three-dimensional reconstruction analysis for the structure of HPV-associated plantar epidermoid cysts, revealing the fine structure of an epidermoid cyst of eccrine duct origin.

Google is boosting the mobile versions of its Docs, Sheets and Slides apps on Android and iOS with some extra features.
Google spelled out the changes in a blog post, noting that with Docs you now get the familiar red line underneath incorrectly spelled words as you type. This should help you check for accuracy while banging away on that touch-screen keyboard.
In Sheets you can now hide rows and columns, which could be useful for making the most of the precious screen real estate on a mobile device. With Slides, you're now able to group different objects together by dragging them around the screen.
The iOS versions now support Touch ID, so you can log in to Docs, Sheets or Slides with the fingerprint scanner.
Google is also supporting its own TalkBack on Android or Apple's VoiceOver, accessibility services which will read the contents of the screen.
Why this matters: Google is in a race with Microsoft to rule productivity in the office and classroom. Google Apps are also a key part of the company's push into education, where the company has found particular success with Chromebooks. And with kids and their parents all sporting phones and tablets, it needs to keep those new features coming to make Google's apps the more appealing choice over Microsoft Office.

All over the globe, the Life Sciences industry is in an upswing. While that is great for business, it does create new challenges for Talent Acquisition teams. Keeping up with the constant stream of mergers and acquisitions, organizational restructuring, ever-changing regulations, and new companies in new markets is a daunting task. And that is not even taking into account the endless sales team ramp-ups that come with each product launch.
Better talent leads to better performance, as shown in Cielo's Talent Activation Index, which found that 90% of Life Sciences talent acquisition teams classified as Leaders are "Very Satisfied" with the quality of their talent. For talent acquisition teams that lag behind, that number freefalls down to a mere 5%.
The competition for talent has only gotten fiercer in recent years, spreading internal talent acquisition teams beyond their means. Businesses are suffering, because taking advantage of all this industry growth depends on having the right people with the right skills at the right time.
Cielo offers a proven, scalable recruitment partnership – including our exclusive technology platform, SkyRecruit – that will uncover the best talent for your organization. With Cielo as your partner, a dedicated team of expert recruiters seamlessly becomes your team, using the knowledge and experience necessary to tailor each candidate and hiring manager experience to the needs of individuals in pharmaceuticals, agriculture, biochemistry and other areas of Life Sciences.

We are not chronic wildlife enthusiasts , Nor are we appalled by it. We harbour a neutral, non-aligned view on it and have learnt to accept it as a natural part of our existence. Wildlife manifests itself in the most wondrous forms of godly creations in our lives; as reptiles, rodents, mammals, canines, cats and what have you.
By far the most striking features of this region are the open grassy meadows, where sighting blackbuck, swamp deer, sambhar and chital is common. And, if one can transcend into time, a barefooted Mowgli would perhaps come padding along the dusty trail, for this is the land of Kipling's Jungle Book.
After serial hysteria at finding divers snakes, wild boars, jackals, leopards, scorpions etc in the most awkward spots in our sprawling bungalows and unending backyards that stretched right into the wilderness, we welcome you in this monsoon season to with your family and friends to feel the luxurious stay and most comfortable gluttony during your stay.

Author Notes: Made it up for an appetizer and it evolved over time —Orleans Jean
Serves: a small crowd
Comice pears
small wedge Cambozola Black cheese (or equivalent brie-like blue cheese)
cup raw walnuts (large pieces or small halves)
- Slice pears vertically in 1/8" (max) slices about center core in pinwheel fashion. Be careful not include any of the core in the slices. Lay out on serving plate.
- Slice cheese as thinly as possible (1/16 inch thick) and about 1-inch square. Place a piece of cheese on the center of each pear slice.
- Press a raw walnut half (I prefer raw walnuts to toasted and I prefer walnuts in this recipe over pecans) into each slice of cheese. This will provide a slight attachment to the pear below.
- Serve with a nice Riesling and enjoy. Be careful - you can overindulge on this and then not want your dinner!

So a few weeks ago my boyfriend and I returned from a 10-ish hour road trip to Omaha from Green Bay to celebrate the college graduation of his younger sister. Me, the avid list-maker that I am budgeted out every last penny, from food, gas, hotel costs, drinks, gift buying, and shopping allowances. It was a small road trip but still, I was on a tight budget having just broken my hand and having to pay out-of-pocket for doctor bills, I was left a little strapped. I'll give you a few pointers on how we saved money, and still had a great trip.
- Plan to eat breakfast in the hotel, (free waffles!) and if your hotel doesn't offer breakfast, hit a grocery store for bagels, cream cheese, orange juice, and make instant coffee in your room. Much cheaper than going out every morning.
- For dinner think about the grocery store option too. Delis in grocery stores are much cheaper than fancy restaurants. If there's a place you've been dying to try, by all means, go get some grub! Otherwise, great ways to save are always delis (fruit salad, mashed potatoes, taco dip, AND desert), Deli Sandwiches, GOOD fast food like Arby's (Market Fresh!), Subway, Jimmy Johns, Taco Bell (Fresco Menu and non alcoholic Margaritas) and a list of others, depending on where you are going. Check out my next tip about using Foursquare to find a bar, same works for finding a restaurant.
- At night we found out where there were drink specials using an app on our phones called Foursquare. Foursquare is available for the iPhone and Android Phones. You "check in" to places, and get specials at some bars that participate with the app, like free shots, 2 for one, or a plain old free drink. No $9 martinis for me, just a $2 Tall Boy of PBR. You can also see which bars in your surrounding area have drink specials just by being on FourSquare, see tips left from other users (try the home-brewed Stout!) ,and you can see who is "checked in" at other bars too.
- Google the area you are staying in, and their Night Life. You should be able to find cheap shows to see, bars to hang out at, and best of all, Karaoke.
- Think about what the important things are to spend money on, and save on other things. Are you a souvenir collector? Do you NEED that snow globe with the city and state for which you visited? Then set aside money for that, but don't get what you don't need, or can't fit in your vehicle.
- When thinking of shopping: Budget that money in last. You need gas, a place to sleep, and food, but do you NEED to shop? Is it something you can get at home? Think of necessities, then think of fun money. You can still have plenty of fun for low dough.
- Shop around for hotels before you book. This is a real "duh" thing, but sometimes people just book what's near their destination. Go on websites like Cheaptickets.com and Hotels.com and look for a good deal. So what if you have to drive 20 extra minutes, you just saved like $40 a night on a hotel. And avoid kitschy Bed and Breakfast's. They are way more money than hotels.
- Look around for gas. There are apps for smartphones like "GasBuddy" or AAA's "TripTik" that will tell you where to find cheap gas. Those pennies add up when you are driving long distance.
- Stock up on snacks. Go to a grocery store and get peanut butter, crackers, bottles of juice, granola bars and even some candy (preferably not something that will melt in a hot car) and keep it in the front seat area. Then you have something to munch on instead of paying gas station prices for the same item.
- Bring a buddy! Everything seems cheaper when you split the cost of things.
- Make sure you have road side assistance, it's like $2 a month or so to add it to most phone plans and includes unlocking a locked up car, a tow, and gas. Or get AAA for all of the same benefits, plus you'll save on hotel rooms.
- Can you camp out instead of staying in a hotel? That may be an option for you outdoorsy people.
- I'd give ideas on how to have fun for low money, but it's different where ever you go. Are you camping? Visiting family? Following a band around the country? Taking a random adventure? It all varies on how your money will be spent, and what activities will be taking place.
- Get the car ready by checking tire pressure, fluid levels and make sure things like the wiper blades work.
- Make a list of all you need, check it twice, and make sure you've packed! You don't want to have to get MORE toothpaste and deodorant once you hit the road. And load up your MP3 player so you have plenty of tunes to listen to. And don't forget those chargers for electronics. You don't want a dead laptop, or to have to shell out $30 to get another charger…
I hope you have a safe and fun road trip, budget wisely, and save money while still having an amazing time! Take lots of pictures! Happy Trails!

Prince Harry: I killed insurgents in Afghanistan
Prince Harry is done with his second tour in Afghanistan and is talking about the horrors of war.
Prince Harry is finished with his second tour in Afghanistan.
The Apache helicopter captain confirmed his departure from the Middle Eastern nation during an official interview Monday afternoon. He was stationed in the southern Helmand province, a Taliban stronghold.
The biggest revelation of his nearly four months of service: He admitted to killing members of the Taliban on his final day of fighting.
Prince Harry, Shia LaBeouf and other celebs behaving badly >>
"Our job out here is to make sure the guys are safe on the ground and if that means shooting someone who is shooting at them, then we will do it," he said in an interview. "It's not the reason I decided to do this job. The reason to do this job was to get back out here, and carry on with a job."
But, now — on to lighter topics, like Kate Middleton's pregnancy!
The 28-year-old's interview about sister-in-law Kate Middleton was finally released. Naturally, he's thrilled about having a little niece or nephew in July.
"It's about time," he joked.
The interview, conducted after the news went public in December, was kept under wraps until he left active duty.
Prince Harry: The Queen is funnier than me >>
"I spoke to my brother and her, and they're both very well and both very happy, obviously," he said of learning about the pregnancy. "I think it's very unfair that they were forced to publicize it when they were, but that's just the media for you."
So, will the red-headed rebel settle down any time soon? Sounds like that's a big ol' "no" — he still has a few royal oats left to sow.
"I don't think you can ever be urged to settle down," he said. "If you find the right person and everything feels right, then it takes time, especially for myself and my brother."

Learn to live with population growth
As one drives along one of the country roads around Hillsboro, strolls along Pacific Avenue in Forest Grove or stops in at a store in Cornelius, it's easy to forget the hustle, bustle and boom on display elsewhere in Washington County.
Our part of the county may feel like a land out of time, but make no mistake: growth is coming, and it's coming soon.
Last year, demographers at Portland State University found that Washington County had experienced the biggest annual population growth of anywhere in Oregon. The largest single gain happened in Hillsboro. The largest gain relative to the total population was in North Plains. Forest Grove and Cornelius trailed behind the overall growth trend, but they probably won't for long.
Just last Tuesday, as the Cornelius City Council met with the city's planning commission at Centro Cultural, the Hillsboro City Council was convening a few miles to the east. The topic that dominated those meetings was the same: population growth.
In Hillsboro, it's easy to see. On Southwest Tualatin Valley Highway at Cornelius Pass Road, construction crews have been hard at work for months on a massive planned development called South Hillsboro. So close is this long-planned residential area to becoming reality that it has been selected to host this year's NW Natural Street of Dreams.
One of the issues before the Hillsboro City Council last week was "Block 67," the former site of Hank's Thriftway in downtown Hillsboro. The supermarket, a Hillsboro institution for 80 years, was demolished last year. Now, the city and a developer are planning a mixed-use project that could see hundreds of families make their homes where generations of Hillsboroites once did their grocery shopping.
But in Cornelius, the signs are there if you look. Well off the main routes through the city, work is underway to build the Laurel Woods neighborhood. The largest residential development in the city's history, Laurel Woods covers about 138 acres and is expected to include close to 900 single-family houses once it is fully built out. That could mean well over 2,000 new residents of Cornelius in that neighborhood alone. And that's just one of several housing projects happening in "Oregon's Family Town" right now.
Cornelius city officials know what's coming, too. The council and planning commission met for a special joint work session last Tuesday; in the coming weeks, they are expected to approve a transportation system plan update that calls for millions of dollars in road and multimodal transportation projects, many of them on the eastern end of town toward Hillsboro, between now and 2040.
Don't think Forest Grove is immune, either. The largest apartment complex in the city, the Jesse Quinn, is expected to open for occupancy at the corner of Pacific Avenue and A Street this summer. Another is under construction east of Ace Hardware.
More projects are planned throughout town, but the largest is the 375-acre Westside Planning Project in the northwest corner of Forest Grove. It's a considerably longer-range project than many of the others happening in Washington County, but it could ultimately rival huge developments like Tigard's River Terrace neighborhood, with as many as 2,000 homes — along with some commercial development — planned for the area.
Even little North Plains is booming. After growing by nearly half again its former size in 2017, according to the PSU report, the city is on track to keep adding population due to new development on its outskirts. Mayor Teri Lenahan told the Hillsboro Tribune last year that rapid growth is just something North Plains residents are having to learn to live with.
That's true of all our communities, actually. We can't stop these changes. We have to accept them with grace.
Our communities will have to adapt to growing populations and changing demographics. That's nothing new. Forest Grove has never topped 30,000 residents before, as it very well might once those planned developments are built — but before last decade, it had never reached 20,000 before, either. The population only hit five figures in the 1970s. People who lived here then adjusted.
All these changes need not mean that Hillsboro, Cornelius, Forest Grove and North Plains sacrifice their identities. These are special places, and just as we must protect our most sensitive habitat areas and our most valuable farmland, we must preserve our unique traditions, keep emphasizing our unique histories and maintain our manners.
In some ways, our communities will change. There's no reason that in other ways — the most important, truly essential ways — they cannot remain the same.
In the opening pages of their book "Walking to Forest Grove: The Life and Times of the Prettiest Town in Oregon," authors and occasional News-Times contributors Ken and Kris Bilderback write beautifully of how Forest Grove was, at its heart, founded on kindness and charity.
Tabitha Brown, the "Mother of Oregon" who took in orphaned pioneer children, "spent her life teaching, and loving, children, whether they were her own, her grandchildren or total stranger," the Bilderbacks write. "While she could have walked away from Forest Grove, Tabitha Brown chose to stay, and her legacy is her love for children and education, which planted the seeds for a great university and a great city."
That's a remarkable legacy indeed, and it's exactly the spirit we should embrace.
Yes, the lines at Bi-Mart and Fred Meyer will get a little longer. Yes, the traffic on Highway 26 and Cornell Road will get a little worse. Yes, we might have to vote on new bond measures and levy options to ensure that our school districts, public libraries, city governments, fire districts and law enforcement agencies have the funding they need to keep up with the changes. But no matter how far back our roots in this county go, we wouldn't be here if someone hadn't made room for us or our forebears.
Last week, Hillsboro unveiled its first official welcome signs with a city population above 100,000. That's a milestone, to be sure — but it doesn't stop there. Get ready for growth, practice optimism and tell your new neighbors, "Welcome to where I live. You're going to love it here."

Sony's tiny, fantastically expensive TT notebook just got the ax. The model, which was out for less than a year was Sony's smallest notebook for a little while, before the Vaio P (the $900 Atom-powered not-a-netbook) and the W (the 10-inch $500 actual netbook) were released.
The TT was highly regarded thanks to excellent build quality, a great display, and all sorts of other high-end options, but was too expensive for its own good. Despite being the type of inspirational purchase that Sony likes to offer consumers the $2100 starting price was a lot to ask of people. The review builds that the tech community liked so much cost about $4300, thanks to the addition of Blu-ray, 4GB of RAM, and an Intel ULV processor. Oh yeah, and there was a carbon fiber chassis and a 256GB SSD on board as well… and this was back in September 2008.
How about a moment of silence for the TT? It may have been expensive, but it was the sort of impractical technological masterpiece that we've come to expect from Sony and something that many of us will be looking for on eBay for years to come and probably still won't be able to afford (much like another legendary but discontinued notebook, Sony's X505).

You might say Carver Bancorp (Amex: CNY) has a plate full of worries. During the past year the New York savings and loan has had to grapple with a stalled turnaround, lagging profits, unruly costs and a flagging stock price. Now, add one more item to the list: angry shareholders.
For the second year in a row, a proposal that the company be sold was floated at Carver's annual meeting in August. And while the proposition didn't get the majority vote it needed to pass, President and CEO Thomas Clark had to be worried that it captured 28% of the voting shares, compared with 24% in 1997.
It's easy to see why shareholders have a beef. After hitting a high of $17.50 a share on December 19, 1997, the stock dove to $8.50 early the following October. Yes, Carver may have given investors a onetime dividend of 5 cents a share in June, but the company hastened to tell investors that it wasn't yet ready to declare a regular payout.
Clark says Carver's reorganization, one that is bigger than a mere housecleaning, continues three years after he joined the company. "In the next two years, this will be a strong institution," he says.
Until then, Wall Street still has a list of questions for Carver to answer. "Does management have the ability to stop or slow the growth in expenses as it continues to increase revenues?" asks analyst Joe Gladue of the Baltimore-based Chapman Co. While Carver has increased its lending portfolio, he adds, costs rose and profits have been at a standstill.
Carver has taken several steps to fatten its bottom line, says Clark. For one, it has boosted mortgage lending. In 1995 the business made up 11% of Carver's assets or $45 million; it now amounts to 62% or $250 million. It's also looking to increase fee income from mortgages, checking accounts and ATMs, while trying to weed out underperforming assets. And the company is restructuring its credit card business. It has also tried to sell one of its branches, although the deal has stalled.
Is Carver worth a bet? On a price-to-book value basis, it looks inexpensive. The stock trades at a little under 60% of its book value, compared with other thrifts that fetch book (the actual amount they are worth). Examine its price-to-earning multiple, however, and the stock looks a little out of line. Carver is trading at about 19.3 times its trailing 12-month earnings, vs. the 12 times earnings for most thrifts. "They have to be more profitable to get in line with the price," says Gladue.
That could turn out to be quite a challenge in the year ahead. With interest rates sinking to 30-year lows, most banks are increasing their lending and home buyers and businesses are rushing to borrow money. Carver, however, is worried that homeowners might start a rush to refinance existing loans.
Don't count Carver out, says Clark, pointing to the company's 50-year anniversary on January 5. "For most banks, that's a halfway milestone," he says.

An honours kinesiology student who maintains a 4.0 grade point average.
A community-minded volunteer, including working with autistic children to develop motor, cognitive and social learning skills.
Are there enough hours in the day for Katie Ross?
"Katie does things that just doesn't make sense for normal people," joked Len Harvey, her Axewomen basketball head coach.
"Whether it's academically or socially, she's just on another level as a human. Her accolades are not that surprising anymore. She's just a special person, special athlete."
The Bedford native, in her fifth year at the Wolfville university, appeared in all 15 regular-season and playoff games for the Axewomen soccer team. The midfielder scored three goals, helped lead Acadia to the Atlantic conference final, and earned an AUS second-team all-star nod for the second time in her collegiate career.
Once the soccer season was complete, her focus switched to the hard court.
Ross played sparingly, coming off the bench for the U Sports No. 1-ranked Axewomen. But in her first game as a starter, an 84-63 victory over the UPEI Panthers on Nov. 25, the 5-foot-11 guard posted a game-high 20 points and added 10 rebounds, four assists and three steals. Three days later, Ross was named AUS female athlete of the week.
"I was fortunate enough to be put back in the lineup," said a humble Ross, downplaying her return to the starting lineup.
"We were hitting all of our shots and it was just nice to be back out there and playing with everyone. We are so deep that we have a handful of players who could be starting each game. None of us look into the starting lineup much at all. We all know we'll get our fair share of minutes. On the court we have to do the best that we can and on the bench we need to be the best teammates that we can."
That mantra seems to be working for the Axewomen. They are ranked No. 1 in the country for the first time in the program's history. Acadia, tops in the conference with a 7-0 mark, owns a 15-1 overall record after a jam-packed non-conference schedule in the pre-season.
"Len did a great job in getting us a very competitive pre-season schedule," said Ross, one of 10 Nova Scotians on the Axewomen roster.
"We found once we got into the regular season we were very well-prepared. We faced some of the best teams in the country and that helped us really develop before the season got going. It gave us a taste of what championship teams need to be like. It was a great start for us.
"We're really lucky to have an extremely deep team so there's not too much pressure on one person's shoulders. Each night it can be a handful of players that step up and score big points for us. It's a really great mix of players."
Paloma Anderson, the 2016 conference MVP, leads the AUS in scoring (18.4 points per game), while sophomore Haley McDonald is fifth (15.9). Veterans Kelsey Rice and Allie Berry are second (10.7) and fifth (9.6) in the league in rebounds, respectively.
"I think this has been building for a few years," said Harvey, in his third year with the Axewomen. "We put in a lot of time and the girls have made it a year-round proposition, staying during the spring and summer to train. That investment has really started to pay off.
"We have a nice blend. We're getting production from upperclassmen and underclassmen. It's spread around. You can't pin it down to one or two things. Our culture is really strong and the girls love playing with each other so our chemistry is real good. Mix that with talent and hard work and good things will happen."
As for Ross, good things have happened throughout her varsity career. In each of her previous four seasons, she was named an academic all-Canadian.
She has also volunteered her time with the Annapolis Valley cardiac rehabilitation centre and pre-school initiatives like Kinderskills.
She's been honoured for her work on the court, in the classroom and as a volunteer. Last season Ross earned the Sylvia Sweeney award for the U Sports student-athlete who exhibits outstanding achievement in three areas: basketball, academics and community involvement.
The year before, Ross was presented the James Bayer Memorial Scholarship Award, given annually to an AUS student-athlete who excels in academics, athletics, leadership, sportsmanship and citizenship.
Ross credits her community-minded nature to her high school years at the Halifax Grammar School, where she was captain of both the Gryphons' soccer and basketball teams and was an honour roll student in the school's International Baccalaureate program.
"Coming out of the Grammar School, we had a very strong athletics program and as part of the IB program in high school we had to do community service," Ross recalled. "So I got exposed to that in a high school setting and it just carried over into university.
"It's a busy schedule but I find if you love everything that you're doing then you make time for it. It definitely takes a lot of organization but if I didn't love it then I wouldn't do it. So that makes it easier."
As she heads into the homestretch of her varsity career, Ross has some decisions to make post-university. Her goal is to become a physiotherapist and is considering enrolling into a masters program.
Sports has become such an integral part of her life that she would like to remain involved in soccer and basketball, possibly as a coach.
Whatever she decides, Ross has the backing of her basketball bench boss
"When you look at athletes, it's a positive when they're low maintenance. For Katie, she's no maintenance," Harvey said.
"She's a dream to coach. She's smart and coachable and can adjust things in the moment. That's a special skill. Not everyone has that ability. Even some of the most talented players in the league can't do that. Katie's fun to coach that way. She's challenging you all the time to stay ahead of the curve."
The Axewomen return to action on Jan. 4 when they host the Saint Mary's Huskies in Wolfville.

My 2-Day Xian Trip (Day 2)
Day-2 Timeless Charm
During the first day, I have gained a common sense of modern life in Xi'an and how it balances with its long history. I leave a whole day for exploration at its wonder: the Terracotta Warriors and Horses.
I take an one-hour bus trip to Tonglin District, passing the famous site Huaqing Hot Spring (华清池). Proud to be one of the first arrivals at its ticket office. The vast site has a beautiful forest-like surrounding. A small buggy takes us navigate to the entrance after 5 minutes. Containing 3 main pits and one display hall, I know I am going to have a fulfilled day today.
The NO.1 Pit (一号坑) is the largest pit and also most-photographed one. This excavation pit has 4 major sites deep about 7 meters (23 feet) and houses a veritable army of over 1,000 warriors. The clay warriors are of live-size, yet tall up to 2 meters (6.6 feet). There is a big viewing platform offering a full view of the pit. At the north end, it is the archaeological site where the archaeologists are working on their findings (no photo taking here).
There's not much to see at the vast pit of the NO.2 Pit (二号坑), except for these 5 glass cases holding the soldiers. Kneeling Archer (跪射俑), Middle-ranking Officer (中级军吏佣), High-ranking Officer (高级军吏佣), Cavalryman with His Saddled War-horse (鞍马骑兵俑) and Standing Archer (立射俑) are the biggest showcases attracting many tourists.
The smallest pit, NO.3 Pit (三号坑) is believed to be the commanding office of the army. Inside the pit, there are high-ranking officers and strong horses stand permanently waiting for Qinshihuang Emperor to give the words. In a small chamber, tourists can take photos with the replica. Another chamber is a photo workshop, where RMB100 can get your face to a terracotta warrior.
Chariots and smaller objects of the unearthed pits are on display at Chariot Exhibition Hall (铜车马展厅). Along with them, there's elaborate introduction of details and function of the tomb complex.
I have lunch near the site and take the return bus back to Xi'an. I still have a couple of hours to kill before my flight. So I decide to visit Shaanxi History Museum (陕西历史博物馆). The museum boasts for various and interesting collection of the Terracotta Army, Silk Road, Buddhism cultures, Han and Tang Dynasty arts and ancient history of Shaanxi Province. The general three halls are listed by time: ancient times, the Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty. My favorite part is the fresco hall of the Tang Dynasty.
2 days in Xi'an rewards me with everlasting etched memories of its timeless charm. Yet there's still more to discover, such as Mountain Huashan (华山), Famen Temple (法门寺), Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River (黄河壶口瀑布), Cave Dwellings (窑洞), Banpo Museum (半坡博物馆). I am already planning my next trip here on my departure flight.

Travel Tips
1. Do your homework
Traveling alone means you will have to learn about everything of the Terracotta Army. Effort is worthwhile. While you learn, you can plan out a way to and from the site, possibly the most budget-friendly one.
Also, if you do the homework by searching online, you will probably learn there is another attraction, Huaqing Hot Spring, on the way to the Terracotta. Most Chinese tourists make stop here and continue to the warriors after an hour. Admission for the hot spring is RMB200/person.
With the full ticket of the Terracotta Army, you can enjoy a free tour to Lishan Garden (骊山园), the remaining site of Qinshihuang Emperor's underground tomb.
2. Things that you may not know about the Terracotta Army
You will see lots of vendors both before and after visiting the site. Try to resist the temptation of 10-Yuan terracotta soldiers because you have something better and more important to see.
If you don't have a tour guide, some workers at the entrance will be happy to offer you the services (RMB90 for Chinese-speaking guide, RMB200 for English-speaking guide). A good way to save is to stand closely to a big guided-group and enjoy the guide's narration as you go.
The 5-minute buggy cart from the entrance to NO.1 Pit can be skipped if you don't mind walking through the garden. It is 5-Yuan for one-way, not included in the ticket.
3. Travel light and depart late
It takes one hour to get to the Terracotta Army from Xi'an Railway Station, one-way. If you donate this whole day to the warriors, you'd better leave a time window of 3 hours before your departure flight.
No need to carry around your suitcase. And it is wise to book your departure flight or train after 8pm.

This heat wave is rough on so many of us. I am grateful for a cool house and air conditioning. But it is still pretty outdoors. We have our rushing river at the back of the property and the sound of the water crashing down over the rocks is soothing. I love to stand on the grassy hill and look over at the river. It is a peaceful feeling.
Amy (15) has been taking her summer dance workshops the last few weeks. But she has been showing signs of heat exhaustion, so she couldn't go to class yesterday and she won't make it to the last class of the summer this evening. She is too tired and weak to care. But I know it bothers her. We have plenty of iced tea, fruit punch, juice, water, Popsicles, ice cream and creamsicles to keep her happy for a few days while she recovers.
This will be a lovely day, despite the heat. When things get rough and we mothers have to work through exhaustion, we become the heroes of our families. No matter how tired mother is, she still has that sweet look on her face while sacrificing her own wants to care for her family. It is the ultimate happiness that brings her joy. And when her homemaking work is finished, she enjoys a precious break and delights in her family.
I have been laughing a lot at the trials we've been going through. Laughter seems to give us strength. Sometimes when things get so bad, all you can do is laugh. Years ago, when my children were little and I was bedridden and recovering from cancer. I had 4 sweet children lined up beside me with complaints. The newborn baby was at my side while I listened to each child share a grievance. Do you remember how cute a 2 year old's stories can be? Or how they try to sound just like the 9 year old? Well, they were all so upset and wanted justice. I just started laughing. What else could I do? I apologized and saw the puzzled looks on their faces, but I was so amused by such trials. Things were so overwhelming and no one was there to help me with the house, cooking or the care of all these children while I was recovering from a dangerous illness. I had to laugh. Somehow we got through it.
That reminds me of when we had only 2 children. I was expecting baby number three and we had this beat up old car.
If you are going through trials today, perhaps it is financial, or family issues, please try to find some humor. Laughter is the best medicine. We know that sometimes weeping endures for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

Sopwith NT (The proposed title) was planned to run in Windows 95 with the networkable option never available in the old Sopwith. We wanted to include 256 Color VGA color support, network support for up to 4 players, new maps and theaters of conflict (WWI, WWII, Korea, Etc), as well as better music and sound effects taking advantage of today's sound cards. My roommate began working on the project, and even had a flying plane after about a week. I designed the sprite data using a shareware program called VSP Maker. Then... his hard drive crashed and he didn't have backups of his work. When I pestered him to start the project over again, he didn't want to spend the time and effort, and had other projects. Thus I created a Sopwith website on Geocities to try to drum up support for other programmers out there to renew the cause. I received many contacts over the years, but nobody ever came up with a solid project plan or results. Then a classic game enthusiast and programmer named Andrew Jenner contacted me about his remake of the old PC game "Digger" and suggested that the same could be done to resurrect Sopwith. After decompiling the ASM code into C, Andrew began work on the newest version of Sopwith, Sopwith 3. Thanks to the efforts of Sopwith pioneers Jornand de Buisonje, Andrew Jenner, and Dave Clark, Sopwith 3 is now available via SourceForge.net.

You Can't Detect What You Can't See: Illuminating the Entire Kill Chain
On-Demand Webinar
As a growing proportion of organizations are willing to adopt SaaS alternatives to traditional, on-premise software productsincluding small- and mid-size businesses (SMBs) as well as large-scale enterprisesthey also seek to leverage the underlying functionality of these on-demand applications to develop their own solutions or more easily integrate multiple SaaS solutions together.
Although most people associate SaaS with stand-alone on-demand applications such as Googles collaboration and productivity oriented applications and Salesforce.coms customer relationship management (CRM) and sales automation solutions, the truth is that SaaS alternatives now exist for nearly every software application category.
In fact, THINKstrategies SaaS Showplace includes over 700 SaaS vendors offering over 3000 SaaS solutions across 75 different horizontal and vertical application areas. A November 2007 survey conducted by THINKstrategies and Cutter Consortium found that the majority (53.8%) of our survey respondents are utilizing horizontal SaaS applications, over a fifth (21.5%) are employing industry-specific SaaS solutions and another quarter of the respondents are using both. We also found nearly three-quarters (72.3%) of the people who responded are using SaaS solutions to fill unmet needs and the remainder are swapping out their legacy applications for new SaaS solutions.
As customers become more receptive to SaaS alternatives, the number of SaaS players is exploding. This gold-rush effect is creating greater competition and confusion in the market as customers try to weed through a proliferation of SaaS solutions.
And, as customers become more knowledgeable about SaaS alternatives, their expectations are also rising as they attempt to make more strategic sourcing decisions to control the number of vendors they must manage and ensure that their SaaS solutions can easily integrate together.
In response, the SaaS market is also undergoing a maturation process that resembles the shift which occurred in the traditional software industry.
Todays SaaS platforms are built on a combination of multi-tenant architectures, third-party integration technologies and cooperative business partnerships, or ecosystems.
Just as the legacy application leaders of the pastsuch as Microsoft, Oracle and SAP used software suites to address a greater share of their customers application requirements, so are SaaS companies today seeking to win a greater share of the rapidly growing market via their platform strategies.
These platforms are aimed at aspiring SaaS vendors and user organizations. The aspiring SaaS vendors can leverage a SaaS platform to accelerate their development processes, and reduce their costs and time to market. By aligning themselves with an established platform provider, SaaS companies can also overcome customer concerns regarding integration issues.
User organizations can utilize these platforms to develop their inhouse applications so they can interoperate with pre-existing applications. A quarter (24.6%) of the respondents to Cutters SaaS survey reported that they are selecting SaaS providers that offer platform capabilities. Nearly a third of the respondents (35.4%) said they are selecting SaaS companies that offer platform and point solutions.

SaaS Platform Players and Strategies
Salesforce.com pioneered this shift with its AppExchange partner ecosystem and force.com development toolkit. The AppExchange is Salesforce.com's third-party integration and marketing clearinghouse.

By the time he was 29, Charles Spencer Chaplin had risen from poverty to become the richest and most famous film actor in the world. He was born in a South London slum, and though his father had been a fairly successful music hall singer, he was alcoholic, mostly absent and died of cirrhosis of the liver by the time Charlie was 12. Chaplin's favourite book was Oliver Twist. He felt his childhood was very close to that of Oliver's.
Charlie's mother failed to make a living as a performer and was often committed to lunatic asylums, leaving Charlie and his brother to survive alone in the Workhouse or in schools for destitute children.
Chaplin's first stage performance was at the age of five when his mother was booed off stage and he was sent on to sing instead. In his teens, after dozens of lowly jobs, Charlie finally got himself regular work in the music halls. At 19, he joined the famous Fred Karno company which then toured America. On one of these tours in 1914 he was offered film work with Keystone Studios, where he developed his famous Tramp persona. He soon took over directing his own films and started to earn dizzying amounts of money.
For several decades Chaplin fell out of favour as the 'talkies' took over from silent films in the 1930s and public disapproval of his personal life and left-leaning politics led him to exile himself from America and live in Switzerland.
In 1925, BBC Radio broadcast ten minutes of Chaplin's silent movie The Goldrush. All that could be heard was the piano accompaniment and roars of laughter.
Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.
A year after Chaplin was buried in 1977, his body was stolen by grave robbers who demanded a £400,000 ransom, which Chaplin's widow Oona refused to pay. The police eventually traced the robbers by tapping the Chaplin family phone and keeping 200 phone kiosks under surveillance. 11 weeks later, Chaplin's body was found buried in field about 10 miles (16 kilometres) away from the Chaplin family home in Corsier, near Lausanne in Switzerland. His body was finally returned to its proper grave and this time it was encased in thick concrete.
Despite his huge success and many Oscar nominations, Chaplin didn't win a single Academy Award until his honorary Oscar in 1972 for his 'incalculable effect on motion pictures'.
Now his feature-length films The Gold Rush, City Lights, Modern Times and The Great Dictator are regarded as among the greatest films of all time.
Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself.
Charlie Chaplin never spoke publicly about his creative techniques, but fortunately the British actor David Niven recorded a conversation with a young screenwriter who was complaining to him about the difficulty of getting a laugh from the time-honoured gag of the fat lady slipping on a banana peel because it had been done a million times before.
Chaplin thought for a moment and gave his solution: 'You show the fat lady approaching; then you show the banana peel; then you show the fat lady and the banana peel together; then she steps over the banana peel and disappears down a manhole.'
3623 Chaplin is an asteroid named in honour of Charlie Chaplin.
Charlie Chaplin was born four days before Adolf Hitler, whom he parodied in his film The Great Dictator.
Chaplin adopted his famous 'toothbrush' moustache in 1915. Hitler didn't start sporting his until 1919.
Walt Disney created Mickey Mouse to have 'something of the wistfulness of Chaplin - a little fellow trying to do the best he could.'
Campsicnemius charliechaplini is a species fly named after Charlie Chaplin because of its bandy legs.
For one short scene in his film City Lights, Chaplin recorded 342 takes.
Chaplin was the first actor to appear on the cover of Time Magazine, (July 6, 1925).

Chef Becomes Entrepreneur to Bring Compound Butters into the Mainstream— An Interview with the David Stemmle, CEO of Headstart Gourmet —
When we think of food and wine together, it often involves pairing the two.  We might have an aromatic white to go with our papaya salad, a hearty red to drink with that filet mignon, or a dry rosé to enjoy with an antipasto plate.  But what about integrating wine into food?  That's a bit of a different story and one that far fewer people think about, much less actually practice. That is, of course, unless they happen to have a good amount of comfort with the culinary arts — much like Chef David Stemmle. At the heart of his company, Headstart Gourmet, is a line of quality, handcrafted compound butters that contain a substantial amount of reduced wine. The effect of using wine as an ingredient in this way is to give the foods to which it's added an intensity and concentration of flavor. Coupled with the richness inherent of the butter itself, his product is nothing shy of sensational. Not long after I first met Chef Stemmle at the Annual Fancy Food Show in San Francisco, he spoke to me from his home in North Carolina, sharing not only the story of how he came to create his compound butters but also his culinary perspective on the wine's versatility in the preparation of fine food.
NM:  I initially became intrigued with your product because one its key ingredients is wine — and a lot of it!  As a chef, can you say a bit about your experience with wine and how it plays into your relationship with food?
DS:  I believe that food and wine are intrinsically tied.  Food is simply better with wine, and vice versa.  I'll tell you brief story to illustrate my point.  Awhile back, I went to a wine dinner at a little French bistro where I used to work.  I'd requested the night off because I wanted to be there as a customer and enjoy the dinner.  I'd convinced ten of my friends to come along with me, and we were all sitting around this big table.  They brought around an Alsatian Gewurtztraminer and poured us all glasses — but none of us really thought the wine was that great, and I was starting to get worried.  Then they served a salad with it, a relatively plain salad with some spicy greens like arugula and watercress with a tangy citrus vinaigrette dressing.  Everybody ate the salad and when they tasted the wine again, every single person around that table said "Wow!  That totally changed it!"  Everything about the wine was better; everything about the food was better.  And that entire experience burned an indelible impression in my head about how food and wine can really work together to become something greater than the sum of their parts.
NM: Â Yes, there's often a synergy between the two. Â And I'm always curious to get a culinary viewpoint on that, since it's coming from a very different side of the equation than that to which I'm accustomed as a wine professional. Â Tell me a little more about your perspective. Â For starters, what prompted you to create your compound butters and start your venture with Headstart Gourmet?
DS:  I started working in restaurants when I was seventeen years old — at a Denny's.  I learned how to make a mean Grand Slam working at that Denny's!  After working there for a while, I moved on to another big box chain restaurant, and then eventually moved to North Carolina.  It was only after leaving the food industry for a short while and coming back that my real passion began.  I started working at a little Italian place, and I learned how to make every dish that they served.  I also began to learn about wine there; there was a weekly class that the manager there taught us. And that was my first real introduction to food from a serious, culinary standpoint.  [This was a restaurant that was] owned and operated by chefs, and these guys wanted to teach us as much as they could about their product; they also wanted to teach us about the wines they were serving so we could communicate with customers about the quality of their product, and the time, effort, and love that went into that product.  So that really got me started on this path.

National Seminar Empowering the Reading Culture
A TWO-DAY conference to highlight the importance of acquiring knowledge through reading and in building an educated community began yesterday.
The National Conference on Empowering Reading Culture 2013 was officially opened by His Royal Highness Prince Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah, the Deputy Sultan.
In his remarks, Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports Yang Berhormat Pehin Orang Kaya Pekerma Laila Diraja Dato Seri Setia Hj Hazair Hj Abdullah, quoted His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam's titah, where the monarch urged the citizens to be more educated and learn to think through reading. Books and other reading materials are the mediums used to acquire a reading culture.
"Reading is one of the fundamental blocks of learning and a reading culture too can enhance the quality of life within a community and nation."
The minister hoped that with this year's theme centred on "Empowering Reading Culture", would assist in developing citizens who are educated, talented, critical, creative, innovative, analytical, imaginative and knowledgeable, who enable themselves as well as the nation to compete and benefit from global progress.
The objective of the conference is to realise His Majesty's emphasis on the importance of knowledge in the development of a nation especially in realising Wawasan 2035 as well as the support of the implementation of the 21st Century National Education System (SPN21) towards a better quality, educated and skilled life with a resilient and dynamic economy.
A keynote address was delivered by Minister of Education Yang Berhormat Pehin Orang Kaya Seri Kerna Dato Seri Setia Hj Awang Abu Bakar Hj Apong, who spoke about "The Importance of Reading in Realising Wawasan 2035".
In his address, the minister outlined eight strategies which the Ministry of Education (MoE) has been tasked to achieve within a span of 10 years. The strategies include investing in early childhood education; using the best international practices in teaching and learning; providing a high standard of education at the secondary and higher education level, including vocational schools, to produce experts, professionals and technicians required in businesses and the industry; strengthening the competence of info-communication technology (ICT) for students, teachers and education administrators, including the integration of ICT into the school curriculum; developing programmes that promote lifelong learning and increase access to higher education; encouraging research, development and innovation in government funded institutions and the institutions that are funded by public-private sector partnerships; using teaching methods that are cost-effective through the use of technology; and improving management of all educational institutions.
A total of 17 speakers are scheduled to deliver their working papers during the two-day conference, five of whom are from Singapore, South Korea, New Zealand, Australia and Japan. Today, another seven working papers will be tabled.The opening was held at the Rizqun International Hotel, attended by foreign dignitaries, ministerial officials, Language and Literature Bureau officers and staff, literature experts as well as members of the public.

The Sedgwick County Zoo got a heckuva Halloween treat – a litter of African painted dog pups.
But the pups' mom, Mica, couldn't produce milk. So a pit bull named Sparkles stepped in as a surrogate mother.
The 4-year-old Mica gave birth Oct. 31 to 11 puppies. Eight survived and are under veterinary intensive care.
After confirming that Mica was not producing milk, zoo staff removed the puppies from their nest box. The zoo then put out a call for lactating dogs who were close to weaning their own puppies, a news release from the zoo said.
Sparkles began her side job on Sunday.
"Using a surrogate provides a continual canine maternal presence that zoo staff could not provide. The presence provides sustenance and comfort," the release Wednesday said.

I got a deluxe bench from Windmind today. It's pretty good, but I can imagine a non-portable model that would be more stable. The legs come out from the middle, which is handy when you fold them up, but not so much for balance. It has adjustable legs, which is what I like. Check it out at: http://www.wildmind.org/
My first bench, which I ordered online from I don't know where, I gave to Alyssa, because she's so wonderful. My second bench I got at Aryaloka, made by Bill, and it's my sturdy backup, not sure what to do with it now. Maybe I'll give it to the sangha or maybe I'll take it to work. I also got a cushion which I sometimes use. That's in the car right now. Then I got the cheapest bench I could to leave at Virginia's but we're not there much any more. So I left it at the sangha night space in Soho. And now this deluxe one!

On Sunday, May 5, hundreds from the New Britain area will gather for March for Babies at its new location at Central Connecticut State University to benefit the March of Dimes. Leading the festivities will be Adam and Lauren Pallone of Marlborough, along with their two-year old daughter Kendall, who will serve as the 2013 Central Connecticut March for Babies Ambassador. They will share Kendall's incredible story of survival, and thank walkers for their commitment to the March of Dimes. Lauren, a former swimmer and coach at CCSU, also serves on the event committee.
Kendall was born in May 2010 at 29 weeks and weighed a mere 1 lb. 13 oz. Because of Kendall's life-threatening prematurity, she was immediately transferred to the neonatal intensive care nursery at UConn Health Center, leaving her frightened mother Lauren at Mid-State Hospital to recover. They were separated for five days before Lauren was able to see Kendall again in the NICU.

Bayern have qualified for the last sixteen of the Champions League in the fastest possible time thanks to a perfect record of four wins out of four in Group E. The FCB head coach and his players were correspondingly happy following Wednesday night's 2-0 home win over AS Roma. "We were very good, especially in the second half. Congratulations to my players," commented Pep Guardiola.
Reaction to Bayern v Roma
Pep Guardiola: "Roma were very defensive, but we played well and dominated the match. We were very good, especially in the second half. I'm very, very happy and I want to offer congratulations to my players. We've qualified after four matches and we're through to the Champions League Round of 16. That's very important for the club."
Philipp Lahm: "We knew it wouldn't be as easy [as the first leg] and that our opponents would be a different proposition. They were very defensive, sometimes stringing six men across the back. Taking the lead was important. It's obviously terrific that we're confirmed as group winners after four matches. We need to make it to the winter break in good shape and keep picking up points in the Bundesliga."
Franck Ribéry: "Winning was the important thing today. Roma spent 45 minutes pulling every man back, so taking the lead was important. It's been a tremendous week up to now, but we still have to go out and beat Frankfurt."
Manuel Neuer: "We controlled the game and it was only a matter of time until we scored. Roma defended with everything they had so it wasn't easy. The important thing was taking the three points."
Mario Götze: "We're enjoying it, and you feel it out on the field. We've picked up another three points today and it was very, very important. We wanted to qualify right away and we've done it. That was our big target so we can be pleased. Now we're looking forward to Saturday's game in Frankfurt. We still have room to improve."
Rudi Garcia (AS Roma coach): "We showed character. We've played a very, very good team, but they didn't create that many chances. We could have been a bit more courageous when we attacked, but when we did finally get a chance, we were confronted with the best goalkeeper in the world."

With the countdown to the general election well under way, the first of the political big guns on the campaign trail, Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer Ed Balls, visited Sussex Coast College, Ore Valley Campus, to meet local apprentices, tutors, and local employers.
Joining Mr Balls on his visit to the college last Thursday (February 5) was prospective Labour party parliamentary candidate, Sarah Owen.
The Shadow Chancellor spent around two hours at Ore Valley Campus, which opened in March 2011. After a meet and greet with college staff, Mr Balls and Ms Owen toured the college's 7,000 square metres of realistic working environments, viewed the workshops and 'live build' areas, where students build, wire, plumb, fit-out and decorate a full-size house in the central atrium.
The visit included an engineering practical demonstration 'facing off a piece of brass and doing a turning activity on a centre lathe', lead by mechanical engineering tutor Keith Bull and apprentice Sam Watson.
Mr Balls was impressed by what he saw. He said: "It was definitely a first for me. It's really good to see the enthusiasm of the young people doing the apprenticeships and also the teaching staff, the college and the employers.
"You can see why Hastings is bucking the trend because across the South East the number of apprenticeships for young people is going down and the good work of this college means they've actually gone up for the people of Hastings."
Mr Balls said education standards for future employment prospects are important. He said: "It's vital, it's much much harder to get a good job unless you've got basic skills in maths, English,and IT, and increasingly vocational expertise which employers want, so we need a lot more of what's happening here (at this college). These young people are going to come out with skills which really fit the purpose for employers.
He added: "This will be a real priority for the next Labour government to make sure that all our young people get the skills they need to get the jobs of the future."
Ms Owen said some local businesses expressed how enthusiastic they were at having apprentices, working with the college to improve skills needed in the jobs market.
Dan Shelley, Vice Principal of Enterprise, Employment and Skills said it was a pleasure to welcome the Shadow Chancellor to the college to witness first-hand "the great work our Apprenticeships programme does, working with local employers and young people alike." Keith Ball added: "It was nice to have a high profile person in the workshop. It certainly boosted moral."
