My teenagers are a constant revelation
Anyone who survives the dentist's drill should be able to pass this acid test. As I sit terrified in a car crammed with 15-year-old boys, my own at the wheel, I wonder, "Where is God now?" Rush hour traffic bolts feverishly, my stomach wrenches, my neck stiffens, rigid with tension. Acid rock on the radio fills the car with whining, shrieking dissonance. If Dante had had a teenaged driver, he surely would've added this trip to his circles of hell.
All around me, solitary business types in somber suits are commuting to work. In the crystalline stillness of their cars, they probably plan the day's projects and compose themselves serenely for the office. What devilish punishment has consigned me to going the opposite way, an hour round-trip away from my office? Worse, what has reduced me to such quivering stress that I will arrive there needing Valium, before any work crises have had a chance to develop? The answer is contained in my barely intelligible mutter to the concerned receptionist when I arrive, "I have a teenaged driver."
Surely those five magic words, mumbled at death's door, will compensate abundantly for all the evils I've ever committed. Saint Peter (whose teenager probably careened in a mean chariot or raced the fishing boat against Andrew's kid) will embrace me sympathetically and whisk me right past purgatory. "Ah, yes, dear. We understand," he'll cluck soothingly. The angels will gather in empathy and stroke my contorted spine with feathery tenderness. The martyrs will recognize one of their own, a bold, kindred spirit who risked the freeway at 8 a.m. As cherubim inquire about the newcomer, they nod knowingly and pull out a special throne: deep and cushiony, on heaven's highest porch, with a sweeping view of spectacular sunsets and a steady stream of mai tais-yeah, with little paper umbrellas! Then comes the moment when grace rushes in. Despite all my efforts to bring God into the car pool, I love the moment when it empties. With the car all to myself, I dial the radio to the soft liquid of classical music. I reclaim my thoughts-and my wheel. "Heh, heh," I chortle, crazed with power. "I'm in the driver's seat!" It's an exhilaration that the childless never sense as they slip blithely behind the wheels of their cars. Poor folks-they're always in charge. They miss the joyful ebb and flow of surrendering control and regaining it. Nor will they ever celebrate a safe arrival with the heartfelt gratitude of the licensed driver who sits beside the driver's permit. Whenever I see a picture of the pope deplaning and kissing the ground of a foreign country, I think, "Yup, that's the relief I feel." If it weren't so grubby, I might start kissing the floor of my garage.
Trapped in this picnic-bench cage, I try desperately to concoct conversational ploys. "Well, they'll grow out of it" doesn't seem to cut it for football quarterbacks who lurch beside doll-sized moms. The only decent solution seems to be to admit one's abysmal sin in this public confessional and genuflect abjectly before the teacher with profuse apologies and firm promises of amendment. Then exit as gracefully as possible, saving for the parking lot the sanctions upon the son who's lassoed us into this predicament.
As usual, the understandings don't seem to come until sufficient time, that gracious restorer of perspective, has elapsed. In this case, we're talking lots of time spread over four children.
The sad truth is that for folks supposedly in the know, professional teachers and writers, we have a dismal history of faithful attendance at conferences for the parenting-impaired. Yup, we know the latest educational trends; we read the journals; we attend the conventions and keep up the credentials. But somehow we can't hold a candle to the wonderful janitor down the block whose kid gets straight As and a full ride through college. Our frequent trips through cafeteria-table hell are tributes to God's sense of humor and our increasing sense of humility.
But most important of all, this insidious form of torture gives me a glimpse into a quality of Jesus that I call "sad tiredness." It surfaces repeatedly as disciple after disciple demonstrates how sweepingly they have misunderstood him. That catch in his voice, that hesitation in his heart rings familiar to the survivor of the cafeteria conference.
We hear it when James and John request thrones on his right and left. It echoes again when Peter warns him blatantly that talk about justice will get him in trouble. Philip seems to be a perpetual teenager who asks the perennial stupid question. Jesus addresses him with parental weariness, "Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me?" (John 14:9). As the disciples jostle for favors, wish audibly for the perks, and theorize about their power in the kingdom, we can almost hear Jesus whisper, "How could you have gotten it so wrong?"
To the arrogant teenager we long to say, "Everything I value I've tried to pass on to you, and you have set it aside." The same perplexity echoes through the scriptural story of the unfruitful vineyard. It details all the gifts God has carefully provided to nurture a vineyard, which in turn produces only wild grapes. With all natural expectations dashed, God asks the answerable question: "What more was there to do for my vineyard that I have not done in it?" (Isa. 5:4). We have not been the perfect parents, but when our children disappoint us, we begin to understand how our own failures must sadden God.
Yet the stunning mystery quivering at the heart of all this is that despite the disappointment or even the broken heart, we continue to love the errant child. At the moment we are closest to strangling him or her, we would also hurl our bodies in front of anyone who threatened that precious life.
We maybe moan the terrible study habits, the blithe disregard for an education that is costing us a fortune-but God help anyone else who criticizes! Deep down, we love that child with an aching ferocity. We value that life more than our own. In the paradox, we glimpse a God heartbroken over our inadequacies yet, at the same time, sending the most precious Son to redeem us.
Until I had children, I could never hold such polarities in tension; the two ideas could not coexist in my mind. Now I see how what I despair of most completely is also what I most deeply cherish.
Biblically, it's a common thread, where parents and God and sons seem to take interchangeable roles. As the parable father peers far down the dusty road, yearning for the son who squandered the inheritance, the stance is familiar. It isn't the rabbi who welcomes the son home, just as it isn't his apostles, but his mother who prompts Jesus' first miracle.
Only the parent-child relationship, it seems, is woven close enough to bear the weight of the ultimate truths. Familiarity may breed contempt, but the round contours and smoothed edges of home also create a relaxed state where the guard is down and the understanding can occur. A cluster of similar biblical stories resonates with a message learned better in the household than in the temple: don't waste energy on the mistake, the grade, the failure; celebrate instead the son come home.
Conference time is also prime time to recall our own offenses. Only through those did we ourselves learn how God, greater than any hurt, can forgive any wrong. Back in grade school, long before parenthood, I couldn't understand why a God as great as ours is purported to be could love a creature so prone to failure as myself. Parenthood provided an insider's look at that question.
Didn't I fall in love, hopelessly, immediately, and forever, with a tiny being still streaked with blood, whose birth had caused me considerable pain and whose presence promised to interrupt my sleep and drain my bank account for years ahead? Was God's loving me any more logical? As Thomas More explains to his son-in-law William Roper in the film "A Man for All Seasons," "Finally, it's not a matter for reason. Finally it's a matter of love."
I will learn to endure the parent-teacher conferences, a powerful learning experience. There we know that we are like God when we give our hearts into such small hands, then live out a commitment which can carry a staggering cost.
The saga of the pink suit
It was outrageously expensive and wildly impractical. Even the most sympathetic male would find it hard to understand why I coveted it. The pink suit also fit like a glove and was stunningly beautiful. My older daughter, Colleen, and I stumbled upon it during one of our shopping trips meant to find her a swimsuit or a pair of jeans. Inevitably, when we set out with such a definite daughter agenda, we wound up finding treasures for Mom.
Graciously, Colleen would then assume the role of fashion consultant, giving me a critical reading on every garment I tried. One look at her face was enough to tell me if a new outfit rated further consideration. Her eyes lit up when I tried on the pink suit. But after long consideration of the price, the necessity of dry cleaning, the limited number of occasions on which I could wear it, we decided to return it (reluctantly) to the rack and concentrate on more practical purchases.
For someone to make such imaginative leaps from the ordinary requires a jumping-off place, some foretaste, some glimpse of the shimmering satin. To then appropriate the image to oneself, one must have a deeply rooted sense of what all humans justly deserve: the natural dignity that befits every son or daughter of God. The appearance is deceptive, says such a stance. We may not be costumed for the part, but beneath the misleading surface, we are indeed the children of the most high king.
Perhaps it is a far reach from seeds to pink suits. But even pampered people in modern homes need a glimmer of grace, a reminder of our high calling. We need our diamond from the king's crown, even if it's only a drop of dew on a pansy's velvet surface or the costume jewelry inherited from a beloved relative. We may be surrounded by material comforts, but still we seem to need frequent reminders of who we are.
As if to prove that theory, I regularly endure a moment of panic before every public speaking engagement. About five minutes before I'm slated to go on stage, I blank on content, lose any concept of why I'm doing this, and wonder how fast I can find the nearest exit. At that time,I usually vanish into the ladies' room for a few deep breaths and the kind of urgent prayer that drowning people must say as the waters fill their lungs. Then I emerge from the rest room with confidence restored and energy renewed. "Bring on the audience!" I want to shout, lunging toward the podium.
For the next few talks, I have a new weapon in the preparation arsenal. I'll enter the ladies' room and look in the mirror. It will gleam back at me in stunning pink: wildly impractical, outrageously expensive. I will stroke its soft skirt and remember a day at the dentist, a little girl who once put in her time in the dentist's chair, too, and a mature girl's thoughtfulness that every parent deserves at least once.
The audience will not know the saga, nor guess that something pink's at play. But perhaps with enthusiasm and conviction, I can remind them that they, too, are bejeweled; they, too, are children of the king who clothes them in luxury and extravagance, who attaches no price and no strings to the gifts showered on beloved children.

History & Culture
Printer-Friendly Version
The last great North American glacier began its retreat some 10,000 years ago, leaving behind the accumulation of boulders, sand, and clay that is now known as Martha's Vineyard. The ancestors of Wampanoag people have lived for at least 10,000 years at Aquinnah (Gay Head) and throughout the island of Noepe (Martha's Vineyard), pursuing a traditional economy based on fishing and agriculture. The Aquinnah Wampanoag share the belief that the giant Moshup created Noepe and the neighboring islands, taught our people how to fish and to catch whales, and still presides over our destinies. Our beliefs and a hundred million years of history are imprinted in the colorful clay cliffs of Aquinnah.
Some 400 years ago Europeans reached Noepe in sufficient numbers to leave a record, and by the 1700's there were English settlements over most of the island. Our presence was quickly felt, and between, the dislocation from land dealings, and the influence of disease, our populations were reduced and our territories constricted. By the 1800's there remained but three native communities on Martha's Vineyard: Aquinnah, Christiantown, and Chappaquiddick. Aquinnah being the most populous and organized, we were able to maintain control over our land, despite intense efforts by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to end our existence. Over the past 100 years more and more native land has been lost as changes in the local economy forced tribal members to sell their lands, move to other parts of the island, or to leave the island altogether. Aquinnah was at different times in history referred to as a "praying town," an Indian District, and an incorporated town. Throughout it all we remain a sovereign tribe.
In 1972 the "Wampanoag Tribal Council of Gay Head, Inc." was formed to promote self-determination, to ensure preservation and continuation of Wampanoag history and culture, to achieve federal recognition for the tribe, and to seek the return of tribal lands to the Wampanoag people. The Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) became a federally acknowledged tribe on April 10, 1987 through the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA).
The Wampanoag trust lands are located in the southwest portion of Martha's Vineyard Island in the town of Gay Head. In accordance with 1987 Settlement Act with the federal government there are approximately 485 acres of Tribal Lands purchased (160 acres private and approximately 325 acres common lands). The common lands include the Gay Head Cliffs, Herring Creek, and Lobsterville, and the private lands include parcels I, IIA, IIB, and III (see map). Other land owned by the Tribe include parcels in Christiantown and Chappaquiddick. A master plan of Wampanoag Tribal Lands was developed in 1993 for approximately 160 acres of the Wampanoag Tribal Trust Land, comprising of parcels I, IIA, IIB, and III. The Master Plan followed several years of investigative efforts and illustrates the present vision of the future tribal community in Gay Head.
The Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) and the Town of Gay Head entered into agreement in June of 1995 to jointly provide for the health, safety and welfare of persons on Tribal Lands by providing for the use of police, fire, and medical personnel and resources in the event of disaster, disorder, fire or other emergencies arising on Tribal Lands. The Town is working with the Tribe to make trained and experienced Public Safety Officials and personnel readily available on Tribal Lands to provide increased protection for persons and property on Tribal Lands, until such time as the Tribe can provide these services for its tribal members. The Tribe's Aquinnah Rangers are EMT certified and provide services for both Tribal Lands and the up-island communities.

Treasured from the moment they're culled from the earth, Tiffany diamonds selected for our engagement rings never leave the hands of highly skilled artisans, who transform the stone from rough gem to refined beauty. The diamonds that we cut and polish in our own state-of-the-art workshops ensure that we honor the places and people that provide us with such astonishing beauty.
Protecting the natural world that inspires our jewelry lies at the heart of Tiffany culture. As a long-time leader in sustainable luxury, Tiffany advocates to establish global standards for ethical diamond sourcing. Unlike other jewelers, we obtain our diamonds and raw precious metals through direct sourcing relationships, because traceability is key to ensuring that mines are operated in an environmentally and socially responsible way.
To advance rigorous and more responsible mining practices, we were early supporters of the Kimberley Process and helped found the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA), an organization making significant strides in establishing global mining standards.
Over the years we have actively opposed new mine development in locations of high ecological or cultural value where mining should never take place, such as Yellowstone National Park and Bristol Bay, Alaska.
Once a rough diamond is deemed worthy of Tiffany, it is delivered straight to our own diamond cutting studio. Here is where the stone takes shape in the hands of a Tiffany expert, who follows a unique geometric plan to reveal the diamond's natural splendor.
Precision of cut is the most important factor in determining a diamond's beauty, so the craftsperson's technical expertise, exactitude and artistry are critical. Many of Tiffany's cutters and polishers bring decades of experience to their craft.
From the tiniest melee to the grandest solitaire, Tiffany diamonds are cut to maximize brilliance, dispersion and scintillation. Tiffany cutters are more than craftspeople, they're truly artists.
Once a diamond's specific geometric plan is determined, it makes its way to an expert polisher at a state-of-the-art workshop. Tiffany's workshops provide robust training programs and jobs in local communities.
We proudly hire local artisans, investing in the craft and management skills of individual workers and the economic potential of the regions in which we operate.
At this stage in the diamond's journey, a Tiffany polisher uses a polishing wheel sprinkled with diamond crystals to bring out the newly cut stone's luster, symmetry and unique inner brilliance. After each facet has been thoroughly examined, a Tiffany diamond is ready to be graded.
Next stop on a Tiffany diamond's world tour: the Tiffany Gemological Laboratory, our diamond grading facility in New York. Every diamond is inspected to ensure the 4Cs are up to Tiffany standards. If any of the measurements are off by even a fraction of a millimeter, it will be sent back to be re-cut and polished until it has reached its full potential.
Finally, the diamond is ready to be set. Because every Tiffany diamond is unique, each setting is uniquely handcrafted so that the final design honors the diamond.
A Tiffany setter fashions a mounting out of platinum or 18k yellow or rose gold that gently clasps the stone at the girdle, so that light can freely enter and exit the diamond, releasing a beautiful spectrum of colors. Each prong and basket is individually adjusted to reveal the beauty of the stone, requiring great accuracy, grace and care.
Before and after the stone is placed in the finished setting, the jewelry polisher goes back over every surface with a small buffer to ensure that the gleaming precious metal is as splendid as the diamond it showcases. This attention to detail is our trademark, and is yet another way in which Tiffany treats every diamond like the work of art it is.
Once it makes the grade, each Tiffany solitaire diamond is given a proprietary serial number, inscribed by a laser and invisible to the naked eye. This singular inscription allows it to be traced back to its Tiffany Diamond Certificate, which is backed by a Full Lifetime Warranty. Other diamond reports, including those from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), do not contain such guarantees, and even carry disclaimers. Tiffany holds itself accountable for the accuracy of its diamond grades for life, ensuring that a Tiffany engagement ring remains as special as the promise made when it was given or received.
After a worldwide journey and up to a year in the care of Tiffany experts, a Tiffany diamond is ready for its Blue Box.

We have all had a few days now to get used to the fact that Terrell Owens is no longer a Dallas Cowboy and is now a member of the Buffalo Bills. The whirlwind of his departure took place so fast it made my head spin, but everything is starting to calm down and come into focus for me. There are several realities that the team, the fans, and the media must now face. The Cowboys no longer have one of their primary offensive weapons but they also don't have the media circus that came with him. He is officially gone for good and it is time for everyone to move on.
To the media...the T.O. gravy train is over. You will have to start doing some real reporting now that the lightning rod is gone. I am hoping that the fans can now start getting some information about the other players on the team now that T.O. is gone. I want to hear stories about the players on the team or players who could potentially join the team via free agency or the draft. I know it was easy to crank out a "T.O. is a distraction" piece when the news got slow but you are going to have to get back to giving your readers some actual news again.
To the players...this move should serve as a message to all of you. Everyone on the team is replaceable. No one is bigger than the team. T.O. may have been and maybe still is a friend of yours, but he is no longer your teammate. Accept it and stop telling the media how shocked and disappointed you are. Preparations for the 2009 season should already be under way and it is going to be a new team and a new attitude. Start working like champions now so we can all be happier next season.
To the coaches...you got what you wanted. The excuses about players undermining authority should be gone. It would appear that Jerry Jones is serious about setting a the tone for this season and making it a team first locker room. One of the biggest pieces of the offense is gone so get to work on revamping the offense to maximize the talent available to you.
To the owner...maybe you finally are starting to understand that it isn't all about assembling the most talent. I don't know who finally convinced you that team chemistry is important but please continue on the path you are now going down. More role players and high character guys are still wanted and needed, especially at safety and on special teams. Your work is cut out for you but the draft should provide opportunities to fill a lot of holes and to do some wheeling and dealing for better picks and/or veteran talent. Get Demarcus Ware re-signed ASAP so that we can get a handle on what is available under the salary cap.
To the fans...T.O. is gone and he isn't coming back no matter what you say. I think the feelings on the departure of #81 are pretty mixed, but there are some of you who want to keep the T.O. debate going. He is no longer a member of the Dallas Cowboys but you are free to change your allegiance to the Buffalo Bills if you can't get past the Cowboys releasing him. This is easy for me to say because I was never much of a fan of his anyway. But at some point you have to decide if you want to keep crying over spilled milk or move past this and support the team. What's done is done. T.O. is no longer a Dallas Cowboy.

T.O. Is Gone For Good

To most of this I say "Amen"...but T.O. was used as a scapegoat for everyone. I will miss his production and so will the team. I think that after this season we will see if it really was his fault, or maybe it's the fault of Jerry, Wade, Tony and everyone else that used him as a scapegoat. I hope it was the fault of Owens, because if it wasn't things are going to get worse.ReplyDelete

Telecom New Zealand looks to be the first mobile carrier on the island nation to be taking pre-orders for the Nokia Lumia 1020. Despite earlier rumors that the Lumia 1020 would be priced at $1299 outright, it will in fact only run you $1149. You can also opt for different contract lengths to knock the upfront cost down to as low as $149.
The Nokia Lumia 1020 is available from Telecom New Zealand in either black or yellow and comes with free shipping. New lines of service also require a $5 SIM fee. All phones will be delivered within 3-5 days of the September 26 release date.
You can follow the source link to get to the order page with complete details.
Just yesterday we reported that Windows Phone has jumped to 15% market share in New Zealand. Having the Lumia 1020 on hand should continue that trend.

Before I address AOL CEO Tim Armstrong's public justification for scaling back his firm's 401(k) plan on rising health care costs such as those associated with "two AOL-ers that had distressed babies that were born that we paid a million dollars each to make sure were O.K.," I'd like to make a few observations gleaned from my two decades as part of the so-called American workforce.
The first: people are typically paid commensurate with the amount of stress their job requires; that is, on average, the more stressful your job, the more money you earn.
The second: the more people who report to you and the more revenue your direct reports are responsible for both correlate positively with pay.
The third: jobs at public companies as well as jobs at companies in the public eye are typically more stressful than their counterparts at private companies and companies the public doesn't much care about.
These three generalizations I present only to say that with respect to Armstrong, who later took back his plan to cut retirement benefits as well as his distressed babies statement (supposedly sincerely apologizing to one of the mother's of one of the distressed babies), I have no problem with the fact that Armstrong earns $15 million a year (or the price of 15 distressed babies as some have pointed out). Nor do I take issue with his wanting to cut costs (even if I'm still unsure what retirement costs have to do with health care costs, and even if said cost cutting came on the same day that AOL reported a 13 percent rise in revenues). And I certainly understand the stress associated with having your every word dissected by employees, the media, and the public (even those words that you premeditatedly speak). In other words, I believe that Armstrong is paid fairly for his work, that he should (as he is more less legally required to) constantly be looking for ways to improved AOL's bottom line, and that it's no easy task to have to watch each syllable you utter when outside the confines of your own home.
However, what I take issue with is that it's become apparent—from Armstrong's distressed babies statement and from another incident last summer in which Armstrong nonchalantly fired an employee on a conference call in front of 1,000 of his coworkers—that the CEO is an impetuous decision maker, not to mention cares little about the satisfaction, well being, and privacy of those who work for him.
To say the least, it's troubling that the head of a company as large as AOL would think it's okay to single out two life-threatening health conditions of relatives of employees in a public forum, and publicly blame them for cost-cutting measures at that.
According to Forbes, which does a good job of paraphrasing what the AOL CEO meant by making those comments about the "distressed babies":
"Armstrong is effectively blaming extremely premature infants, who are clinging desperately to life, for the cuts he chose to make in his employees' retirement benefits. We're still paying to keep these precious little angels alive, he assured his employees. But if any of you are mad about your pay cut, you know who to blame."
And, sure enough, within minutes of Armstrong's statement, employees indeed knew who to blame. And unfortunately for Armstrong, one of the babies-to-blame's mothers, the wife of an AOL empoloyee, turned out to be a novelist (and apparently in between books) and went on to pen a well-written, widely-read, widely-commented-on, well-worth-reading article for Slate criticizing the AOL CEO's statements entitled "My Baby and AOL's Bottom Line." Here's an excerpt:
I take issue with how [Armstrong] reduced my daughter to a "distressed baby" who cost the company too much money. How he blamed the saving of her life for his decision to scale back employee benefits. How he exposed the most searing experience of our lives, one that my husband and I still struggle to discuss with anyone but each other, for no other purpose than an absurd justification for corporate cost-cutting.
Now that the dust has settled in the wake of the question of whether or not Armstrong's statements were insensitive or not (they most definitely were, seemed to be the majority opinion), the question of whether Armstrong's statements violated privacy laws is beginning to be addressed. The following comes from a New York Times piece on the subject:
"This example shows how easy it is for employers to find out if employees have a rare medical condition," said Dr. Deborah C.

In response to a query about how Mr. Armstrong learned the specifics of the AOL employees' situations, Doug Serton, a spokesman for AOL, said, "We aren't commenting on these issues."

The mild conditions this winter have not been conductive to ice skating on our local waterways, but on Wednesday morning many Addison County residents took unplanned trips across ice - when traveling across driveways and parking lots!
The culprit? A warm front bringing unseasonable rain, followed by a cold front and plummeting temperatures - an effect some meteorologists call a "flash freeze".
Over the last two months, most of the United States and southern Canada have been locked into a "snow drought", but for parts of Vermont, at least, some significant snow may be on the way.
MIDDLEBURY — An active group of area residents have a surefire way of making the cold days of winter more fun, exciting and engaging while also helping strengthen the community: racing in the Middlebury Ski Bum League.

Vasquez, Momentum From Harvard Win Propels Yale to Win Over Dartmouth
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — The celebration began with Friday night's win over Harvard and carried over into the annual Pink Zone celebration at Yale University, which began at 10 a.m. Saturday. The Yale women's basketball team kept the festivities alive with a second straight strong performance, this time against its rival from Dartmouth.
The Bulldogs entered the weekend tied with Columbia for third place in the standings at 4-2 in Ivy play. Harvard was unbeaten and in first place at 5-0 after handing second-place Princeton (4-1) its first Ivy loss since the 2008-09 season. Dartmouth has struggled this season, in large part to season-ending injuries to two starters.
Now that the slate of games is complete, the Ivy League standings have been shaken up following the weekend's results and Yale is staring at a showdown next weekend with Princeton with first place in the Ivy League on the line.
The Bulldogs joined the other three home teams in the Ivy League to sweep the weekend thanks to the play of Sophomore guard Megan Vasquez and freshman forward Janna Graf. Vasquez scored a game-high 21 points, while Graf added 15 points and eight rebounds to lift Yale to a 66-53 win over Dartmouth in Ivy League action Saturday night at John J. Lee Amphitheater.
Senior forward Mady Gobrecht added eight points, 11 rebounds and a game-high seven assists to help the Bulldogs (10-12, 6-2 Ivy League) improve to 7-1 in their last eight games at home. Michelle Cashen added six points, 12 rebounds and five steals. Aarica West chipped in with nine points.
The weekend sweep leaves Yale in second place in the Ivy League, a half-game behind Princeton in the Ivy League standings. The two teams will meet in Princeton on Friday with the winner claiming sole possession of first place. Princeton took over the top spot after sweeping Columbia and Cornell and with Harvard losing at Yale Friday and at Brown on Saturday.
"Being 6-2 in the Ivy League is nice. Of course, we wish we could be better, and we know that we have a very tough second half ahead of us," said Chris Gobrecht, the Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954, Head Coach of Women's Basketball. "If we learned what we needed to learn from those two losses, then we have a shot at getting through this second half, with four of our last six games on the road with two of the most difficult road trips of the season. Our next two weekends (at Princeton and Penn and at Harvard and Dartmouth) will be very tough. We will find out what we are made of."
Yale put itself in that position thanks to a strong defensive effort in the first half against Dartmouth. The Bulldogs held the Big Green to just 7-for-33 shooting (21.2 percent) in the half while outrebounding the Big Green 26-22 en route to a 33-22 halftime lead.
Yale scored the first five points of the game and opened up a 7-2 lead on a pair of layups from Vasquez and a 3-pointer from Graf. Dartmouth scored the next eight points to briefly take a 10-7 lead, but Yale responded with a 12-2 run to take early command of the game. Dartmouth got as close as five points (21-16) with 7:05 left in the half, but Yale slowly pulled away from there, pulling out to an 11-point lead by the halftime buzzer. Gobrecht scored seven of Yale's final 12 points of the half to help the Bulldogs go into the halftime break with the 33-22 lead.
Yale outscored Dartmouth 18-8 in the paint in the opening half.
"It was a great team effort," Coach Gobrecht said. "The whole weekend, we got some great defensive play. Mady and Michelle played really well in both games. Our inside game is coming back now that Michelle has gotten it going again. We now have two inside threats in Mady and Michelle that give us a lot of options. Mady is a senior. She knows this is it for her. She is playing hard every minute."
Dartmouth outscored Yale 6-2 in the first 2:33 of the second half to trim the deficit to seven points (35-28), but that was as close as the Big Green would get.
Vasquez led the second-half charge, scoring 13 of her 21 points in the half. Graf added 10 of her 15 points in the half to help the Bulldogs stay comfortably ahead the rest of the way.
"It was a different style of play tonight against Dartmouth," Coach Gobrecht said. "They are a much more physical team. They play very good defense. They were bigger. It was a real shift for us. I thought we played very well. The only negatives were too many turnovers in the first half and missing too many open looks in the second half. Other than that, we played pretty well."
Faziah Steen scored 21 points to lead Dartmouth (5-16, 1-5 Ivy League). Cassie Cooper added 10 points.
Yale will play the next four games away from the comfort of home. The Bulldogs will travel to Princeton on Friday for a 6 p.m. tip-off. Yale will close out the weekend at Penn on Saturday at 7 p.m.

YAKIMA – There will not be any recreational marijuana businesses allowed in the unincorporated areas within Yakima County.
That's the decision the Yakima County Commission made this past Tuesday.
The commissioners, in light of recent remarks made by Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson, approved a resolution that prohibits the production, processing and retail sales of recreational sales of recreational marijuana.
Ferguson last week stated there was "…no irreconcilable conflict between I-502's licensing system and the ability of local governments to prohibit licensees from operating in their jurisdiction."
Commissioner Rand Elliott said, "Each municipality is charged with making their own decision."
He said the county's ordinance will not preclude any decisions made by city governments.
Elliott noted the county only has jurisdiction outside of city limits, which means any businesses seeking licenses to sell, produce or grow marijuana outside a municipality will be prohibited from opening shop.
"We (the Yakima County commissioners) considered the issue…I voted in support of this resolution, which reflects the wishes of the voters," said Elliott.
The voters of Yakima County cast their ballots against I-502 during the November 2012 General Election by 58 percent.
Commissioner Mike Leita said, "It is known that Yakima County and all other counties within the state of Washington have long struggled with the many harsh effects of alcohol and drugs, both legal and illegal."
He said that is one of the reasons he supported the resolution to prohibit recreational marijuana businesses in the county's jurisdiction.
The Yakima County commissioners approved the resolution by a unanimous 3-0 vote.

PHILADELPHIA -- LA Fitness is the subject of a recently filed consumer class-action lawsuit involving cancellation policies with its monthly membership contracts.
The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia by the law firm of Berger & Montague, P.C., on behalf of former and current LA Fitness members. The suit claims that the Irvine, CA-based club company charged the former members at least one additional monthly billing charge after they had canceled their monthly dues membership.
Current members allege in the suit that their monthly membership contracts with LA Fitness contain egregious cancellation provisions and that the members will be forced to pay for one or more months after they cancel their contracts.
LA Fitness, when contacted by Club Industry, had no comment on the lawsuit.

As more and more people begin to enjoy items that are considered "retro", music lovers are rediscovering the joy of vinyl records. DJ's, musicians, and just about everyone who enjoys good tunes are collecting and listening to vinyl again and they are sharing their joy with the world through record conventions. What was once considered "old school" and "scratchy" is now accepted and even revered. In today's retro world, the vinyl record is making a return to the thrown as the music media king.
Responding to this new atmosphere of "old school cool", Jericho's Tours of Tyler has been working hard to bring Tyler's First Annual Vinyl Record and CD Expo into being. After spreading the word, we were rewarded with a plethora of vendors willing to come together to show their wares and share their love of all things music. Folks from all over Texas will attend the event and gather also to hear the live bands such as "Struck by Hammerz", "Joseph Mayo", and "Core of Silence" that will be in concert.
The Expo will be on Saturday, February 22nd. It will begin at 10AM and continue with live music and vendors pandering all things music and music related until 8pm. Food and drink will be available to purchase at the hotel. Tickets are just $4 each with children 12yrs and under admitted FREE!
Tickets are on sale now at www.toursoftyler.com.

We all have our favoured pasta sauce camp. There is the cream sauce camp. The tomato-based camp. And the olive oil-based camp. Although I am mostly an equal opportunity pasta enjoyer, I pretty much stand with the olive oil-based sauce camp (greedily taking butter-based and pesto-based in with me as "sub-camps"). C meanwhile is steadfastly entrenched in the tomato-based camp…a pasta sauce monogamist.
Now, we all know that marriage is about give and take, about finding compromises and happy mediums. People talk of the "big commitment", and the "big decisions", and the "big changes", and yes, that is all definitely important and should be given a good amount of thought. But don't ignore the small things. Not even the itty, bitty, tiny things. Oh no. These are important as well. Teeny tiny bits swept under a rug grow into nasty creatures I tell you.
So in the spirit of compromise amongst the little things, I put together this pasta dish. Pairing chorizo and gambas in pasta in not that novel an idea over here, but it's usually done as an oil-based sauce, not a tomato-based one. I added the tomato thinking to make a version more to C's liking (although chorizo and gambas is already much to C's liking…and mine!) and ended up loving it myself!
Pay attention to the little things. They can lead to the most delicious resolutions.
Our Chori-Gamba Pasta Sauce
- Olive oil
- 150 grams shrimp (weight peeled without heads and tails)
- 130-150 grams chorizo for cooking (your favourite type), taken out of its casings
- 1 medium white onion, chopped
- 8 cloves garlic, finely chopped (this is supposed to be garlicky but feel free to reduce the number)
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, leaves and stems
- A glug of red wine (about 1/8 cup)
- A scant 1/2 teaspoon pimentón de la vera
- 1/4 teaspoon dried chilli flakes
- 1 400-gram can crushed/chopped tomatoes
- A small handful of basil leaves
- Freshly ground black pepper and salt
– Sprinkle shrimp with some salt.
– Heat olive oil in a saucepan. When hot add garlic, onions, parsley, and chilli and sauté until onions are soft.
– Add shrimp, pimentón, and pepper. Toss lightly until shrimps are just colored then remove shrimps (leaving everything else) from pan and set aside. Do not over-cook the shrimps!
– Add chorizo to the pan and sauté (making sure to de-clump the meat) until cooked. De-glaze the pan with wine.
– Add the tomatoes and simmer until thick and pulpy. Taste and adjust seasoning.
– Remove from the heat and stir through shrimp and basil.
– Serves 2. We prepare 200-250 grams (uncooked weight) spaghetti or linguini noodles for this.
The tomatoes make this dish less oily-feeling than the tomato-less version and the greens give it a sharp, bright flavour that brilliantly cuts through that richness of the chorizo and the pungency of the garlic. I use all the parsley, leaves and stem. Parsley stems are so underutilized! I never throw them away. The chopped up stems can be used in sautés (add them with the onion and garlic – they give a nice bright "green" punch) and the whole stems in stocks. Freeze them if you're not using them immediately. If I don't have parsley, I have also used gotu kola stems in this recipe and they worked fine.
I still make oil and pesto based pastas (of course!), but usually for lunch, when C is at the office. I'll sometimes spring one on him, and he'll give the requisite MMM although I can tell that it's different from his tomato-sauce MMM (or his adobo MMM). But that's fine. Give and take can taste good with a little creativity 🙂
This pasta's for you C! There is more where this came from so watch out…I'm planning to get a lot more MMM's out of you yet! 🙂 There is no one else I'd rather be give-and-taking with! Happy birthday!!!

The original recipe had only two colours i.e. vanilla and chocolate. Well, me being me, decided to try something different ... be a bit bolder by adding stronger colours. So I darken the chocolate batter with black food colour and added an additional stripe of colour, a bright red. I was extremely intrigued as to how the stripes were achieved so I did everything slowly to make sure that I did not read the instructions wrongly. As I started pouring the coloured batter on top of each other, I could not for the life of me figured out how the stripes could be formed. But as more batter was poured into the cake pan, the circular stripes started to appear. I loved doing this part and oohhed and ahhhed every time a circle was formed. I think my pet shitzu Milo must have thought his "mummy" had gone totally bonkers.
I must say that this cake is really a piece of art, truly lovely to look at. However taste-wise I thought it was alright! Much like a butter cake but somehow not quite as flavourful. However I don't mind making this again just to get a "kick" in watching the stripes come together.
Zebra Cake
Recipe Adapted from Cake Keeper Cakes by Lauren Chattman
Makes one 9" round cake
2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup whole or 2% milk
113g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp unsweetened Dutch cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp orange zest
1/2 tsp black food colouring
1 tsp red food colouring
1) Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a 9 inch pan, line with a circle of parchment paper, grease the parchment and dust with flour. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
2) Combine the eggs and sugar in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on high speed until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, stir in the milk, butter, oil and vanilla, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice as necessary. Stir in the flour mixture, 1/2 cup at a time.
3) Divide the batter into 3 bowls - one larger bowl containing half of the batter and 2 smaller bowls containing 1/4 each of the batter.
4) In the larger bowl, add in 1 tsp of orange zest and mix into the batter.
5) In one of the smaller bowls, add in the remaining orange zest and red food colouring. Mix well.
6) In the second smaller bowl, sift in the cocoa powder and mix well into the batter. Then add in the black food colouring and stir until the batter is a uniform colour.
7) Place 3 tablespoons of vanilla batter into the centre of the pan and let it stand for a few seconds so it spreads out slightly. Then add in 1 1/2 tablespoon of the red batter in the middle of the pan and wait another few seconds until it spreads. After that add in 1 1/2 tablespoon of the cocoa batter in the middle of the pan and wait for a few seconds to allow it to spread.
8) Continue alternating the vanilla, red and cocoa batter until you have used up all the batter and it has spread to the edges of the pan.
9) Bake until the cake is set and a toothpick comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a sharp knife around the edge of the pan and invert the cake onto a cutting board. Peel away the parchment paper. Re-invert onto a wire rack and cool completely. Slice and serve.
10) Store uneaten cake in a cake keeper or wrap in plastic and store at room temperature for 3 days.


text: Forage Testing is Good Insurance for Cow Herd October 18, 2010 04:41 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Drovers Editors Email For less than $7 per forage sample tested, cow-calf producers may be able to stave off a variety of potential problems in their cowherd. That's the amount a producer will pay for a sample tested as part of a forage testing project spearheaded by the Iowa Beef Center (IBC) at Iowa State University (ISU). ISU Extension beef program specialist Beth Doran said the project offers producers a 50-percent cost share per sample for up to three forage samples, and encourages people to participate. Producers interested in participating in the forage testing project or who have questions should contact their local county extension office or ISU beef program specialist. "This may be the cheapest insurance you'll ever buy," Doran said. "This project focuses on hays and silages that have been hampered by wet weather this summer." ISU Extension beef veterinarian Grant Dewell said the project was designed to assist producers in managing rain-affected forages when developing cow rations. Appropriate rations can, in turn, help prevent or lessen the incidence of calving problems. For example, research indicates that cows eating hay with less than 10 percent crude protein during the final 60 days of pregnancy averaged 8.5 percent weak calves. "Energy in the cow diet is important because calves born to thin cows are at higher risk of weak calf syndrome," Dewell said. "Last spring, the ISU Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory noted weak calf syndrome. This refers to a newborn calf that's weak, and unable or slow to rise, stand or nurse." Less than desirable rations can lead to problems for calves and cows, Doran said. "Calves born to thin cows take longer to stand, and calves born to protein-deficient cows cannot generate body heat as well after birth," she said. "Colostrum production in a thin cow is reduced, and immunoglobulins, which play a big role in the immunity of the calf, are reduced. In addition, thin cows may not conceive or are slow to re-breed and wean a calf seven to eight months later." The forage testing project will provide both protein and energy analyses. "We want to help producers have their cows and heifers in body condition scores of 5 and 6, respectively, at calving," Doran said. "The goal is a live, healthy calf." The forage testing project is cooperatively sponsored by IBC, the Grass Based Livestock Working Group from the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, Iowa Forage and Grassland Council, and the Southern Iowa Forage and Livestock Committee. IBC was established in 1996 with the goal of supporting the growth and vitality of the state's beef cattle industry. It comprises faculty and staff from ISU Extension, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and College of Veterinary Medicine, and works to develop and deliver the latest research-based information regarding the beef cattle industry.

I went back to Eatons Hill with John Flynn, a friend and training partner. My plan was to warm up for 30 min and then hit the climb for the 5 x 2 min big chainring repeats. I started the first one well, keeping the speed around 19 km/h using the the 17 and 19t. I felt great!
The second one was a little slower and I had to use the 21t to keep the cadence above 60. On the third I started to hurt and on the fourth I was going up at 15 km/h and turning the pedals with the assistance of the 23 and 25t.
I decided to go harder on the last one but didn't have much left and went up on the 25t and just managing to stay on 15 km/h. It was a relief to be able to drop to the small chainring when the 2 min expire and just finish the climb (another minute).
From there, we cruised down to Samford for a coffee and some pastry... I love that stuff. It was great to have someone there to give me a little incentive, I haven't done repeats before and find hard to stay motivated sometimes. Also, being able to sit down for a coffee and a chat is part of the cycling culture. All over the world, this is what cyclists do.
To head back, John led the way through the back way of Ferny Grove as he noticed on my face that I didn't need any more hills on the ride home. To get back via the Samford range was going to destroy too many of my capillaries at that stage... That is what Sandra would say!
It was a nice ride, with no cars and relatively flat. Add a km or so of riding on a dirt track through a forest and I felt like I was ready to race the Monte Paschi Eroica - have to admire that Cancellara dude - http://www.cyclingnews.com/road/2008/mar08/eroica08/?id=results
Next was the ride home, in the traffic and the mid day heat. Not very pleasant but that's the way it is!
At home, it was time for an urgent recovery drink. I had the option of digging into Sandra's special espresso flavoured 1st Endurance stuff or make my own. Option two was the chosen one as I just love using the blender...
And here is the formula: one egg; one Weetbix (multigrain); milk; honey; frozen bananas; organic chocolate powder and another grain, rich in protein.
Just deliciously natural, or naturally delicious!!!

They have dedicated "baskets" for the traditional wings and fries but they are still fried in the same oil as the breaded items. The manager here was not very helpful, friendly, or empathetic. My server was very nice and took the time to try and answer all of my questions. I ended up getting naked tenders tossed in buffalo sauce and a side salad.

The staff told me they had a dedicated fryer and which items were gluten free when they weren't! While eating I began not feeling well and asked the staff again if it was made in a dedicated fryer and that the food i order were gf and said they weren't! Definitely won't be coming back again.
10056 Two Notch Rd, Columbia, SC 29223
Based on the last review about the dedicated fryer, we were excited! But, the allergen list on line indicates there are not dedicated fryers. When I called, I asked if the traditional wings had a dedicated fryer and I was told yes. When I pushed, the dedicated fryer is also used for boneless wings, which are breaded and not gluten free based on their alleged list. So it's not dedicated. No wings for us (we didn't go so I can't speak to any other food options).

So I am giving it four stars because you really only have one option if you are celiac (no designated fryer for bone-in wings or fries). the naked tenders. But you can get any sauce minus two. That being said, the chicken was cooked to perfection and my waiter was AMAZING. He brought my meal out separate as well as all of the dipping sauces I asked for. I normally would not suggest a place with so few of options but I felt so taken care of. If you are gluten intolerant you have tons of options.

Do have an allergen menu I'm not sure what went wrong, I asked our server to let the kitchen know I was GF but I still left sick. I ordered plain grilled chicken strips but they tasted like they had lemon pepper seasoning on them so perhaps they were cooked on a shared surface.

As soon as I told the waitress I have celiac disease she brought the manager to the table. They had a booklet that identified the allergens in the items on their menu. If you order the traditional wings, it is fried in a dedicated fryer. Stevie, the manager, made sure my order was handled properly and my order came out with a purple sticker to signify GF. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and I had no bad reactions. AAAA++++++. Thank you Buffalo Wild Wings!!

The wings are good and many of the sauces are gluten free. But the fryers are shared and the 'spinners' that they use for saucing the wings are shared. You have to ask for your wings to be dry and the sauce on the side. There is still some risk from the shared fryer but I haven't had a symptom.

I ordered naked tenders and buffalo chips(potatoes I was told) and mentioned I was Celiac and if that was gf. The bartender said yes and put in the order. About a half hour later my food finally comes out and As it turns out the "potatoes" were deep fried which l didn't realize until after I ate the first one. And NO this was not a designated fryer. Also the chosen cake out on he same plate mixed in with some fries like in a basket style. So the fries(which I didn't order and were clearly also contaminated) had allot of contact with the 2 of my 4 tenders so I ate the other two(which were boarder line undercooked) and went to google. Turns out even the grilled naked chicken tenders came from a shared grill. The staff should know when someone says CELIAC what is acceptable and what is not. Needless to say I did not finish my meal I remained at the bar to watch the rest of the game with 80% of my food on the plate in front of me for about another hour to finish the game and not one server asked how my meal was when it was obvious that I did not have a positive experience. And needless to say after the clock hit zero I hustled Home to brace for impact as the upset stomach and other symptoms had already begun. Being from buffalo New York growing up on real wings with skin and bones in a clean fryer... this place disappoints me on a big level. Find a local sports bar especially if want something to drink besides angry orchard!
900 E Battlefield Rd, Springfield, MO 65807
As of 2017, they do not have separate grill areas. Salad would be ok but all the meats off limits . My very sensitive daughter got a bloated belly after eating here (indicating cross contamination) to a grilled chicken breast due to shared grill

Dedexer got competition! Not one but immediately two - smali and baksmali is a DEX assembler/disassembler pair. The programs are brand new and - like Dedexer - they are also based on a Jasmin-like format. I tried them very shortly, the disassembler - baksmali - worked correctly and indeed produced an output similar to dedexer but I could not compile the output of baksmali back to DEX format with the assembler - smali. The disassembler does not handle ODEX files either.
The initiative is indeed valuable, however, and I encourage every reverse engineer out there give the new tools a try.

No and it is not planned by me. However, I welcome if anyone wants to write such a tool. :-)
Dedexer wants to be a good decompiler, not more, not less. The long-term goal is decompilation to Java (one always has to have a dream ... :-)).

I'm curious what issue you ran into when you tried to reassemble the output of baksmali. It should be re-assemblable. If it isn't, it's a bug :)

Nootech necesitaba un nuevo diseño de botón o icono y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 55 diseños de 13 diseñadores freelance.
I'm an independent web/app developer that's worked in the web industry since 1994. I have friends in the graphic design community, but haven't find anybody that I can turn to for my own projects. I've built a handful of web and iPhone apps, and always tried to make do with graphics I pulled from the Internet or ones I created with my limited Photoshop skills. I've now realized it would be better to let the experts do their thing! I have an eye for what I like or don't like, just not the creative gene to make my own. :)
My new app is targeted at commuters and other folks that frequently look up the same map views.
The app is all about letting you pull up a handful of maps quickly, checking out the traffic situation on each, so you can decide which route to take to or from work. I need an icon that conveys the map collection idea, along with a (2/3/?) color scheme that I can leverage in the app. My tentative name for the app is Map Locker, which lends itself to an easy branding and positioning, but I'm flexible if you come up with a better "map collection" motif.
The app is utilitarian in nature, so the design need is relatively minimal. I'm primarily looking for a strong icon that will stand out in the App Store, and convey the (hopefully) unique offering of this app.
I'm attaching a screenshot of the current work-in-progress. The buttons along the top will change as I refine the experience. The user will be able to Add, Remove, and Save maps, and navigate between the different saved maps.

If given the opportunity to babysit Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick's children, chances are many fans wouldn't hesitate to say yes.
But during a surprise appearance on Wednesday's "Ellen DeGeneres Show," guest host Khloe Kardashian put her sister in the hot seat and asked who the best babysitter of them all is.
"Who is the best babysitter?" Khloe asked through FaceTime. Without hesitation, Kourt replied with "Khloe."
As for the worst? The answer may surprise you.
"Kendall, because she doesn't babysit," Kourtney joked before Khloe interjected. "She's like a famous model. I think she's good."
