The Maryland football team unveiled its shiny, new Under Armour uniforms on Monday night, and at last count, Randy Edsall's squad will have 2,576 color combinations to choose from when the season begins.
The initial reactions I saw were surprisingly positive. But after doing a quick Google search for "Maryland's ridiculous new uniforms," I realized I wasn't the only one who doesn't like Maryland's new look. Phew.
The inevitable comparisons to Oregon's uniforms were there. They were called "interesting" and "bold," and some bloggers actually said what they were really thinking. Paul Lukas, the man behind the respected Uni Watch blog, was one of them, calling the uniforms "brutal" and the event "a corporate masturbation session, a retailing showcase, and a sham." Another broke down the runway show "Project Runway" style.
I don't feel as strongly about the uniforms as, say, Lukas, but it's clear that Maryland and Under Armour tried too hard to outdo Oregon and Nike, and the result isn't as original as expected.
That's not to say there aren't color combinations I like. The white jerseys work with the yellow, black or red pants. The red and white is a classic look. And you can never go wrong with all black unis.
But the yellow jerseys can stay in the hamper, along with the all-white and all-red color combinations.
I don't get the two new helmets, either. The Terps wanted to emphasize the state of Maryland while grabbing attention with gaudy design. And then they stripped the logos off the helmets, leaving them bare except for the turtle shells on the white helmet (some subtly would make them better) and running the yellow and black Maryland checkers down the center stripe, which looks like caution tape from afar.
There's just a disconnect there. They want futuristic jerseys with old-school, minimalistic helmets like they wear at Ohio State and Penn State. Others like how the helmets look, but they aren't for me.
To sum it up, there's too much going on with these uniforms. I prefer a sleeker, more simplistic look.
Hey, that's just my take, though, and it's not like I have a sterling reputation among my readers when it comes to my fashion choices, specifically the sandals I wore when shooting a photo for my old blog.
But remember, we're talking about uniforms here. Aesthetics are nice, but winning is what matters.

Can TSA Copy Your Laptop Hard Drive and Search Your Files?
Say you're bringing your notebook through airport security in the US. Can the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) personnel copy your hard disk and/or search the data on it?
No, says Blogger Bob on the TSA's blog. In fact, they dealt with this same issue about 2 years ago. TSA screeners may visually inspect the notebook and perform an explosives trace detection test, but they don't even turn it on.
The confusion may come from the fact that CBP (U.S. Customs and Border Protection) can perform such searches (and there have been some controversial cases related to this practice). Blogger Bob says the TSA uniforms are royal blue, while the CBP uniforms are navy blue. I know I'll never make that mistake again.
Of course the CBP is only an issue for you if you're traveling internationally. Remember, if they want to search your notebook and it, or files on it, are password protected, they may demand your password. Think about how you would want to handle such a situation.

Reviews (4)
I have used these boots three times and all three times I have had to get off my horse and turn the boots back straight. I have contacted Jeffers and the Easy Boot co. and both wanted me to re-measure and buy a fit kit and buy some power straps. I wanted to send them back and try another style but now I'm done with all of them. I will find another brand of boot and try it. Nobody wants to get off their horse every 30 minutes and turn turn a boot back right.
"These really work!!!"
Just used the Back Country boot in Tenn riding on Tenn Walking horses in rocks, roots, knee deep mud and deep sand and never had a boot come off. These are easy to put on and they stay on. Highly recommend.
"Love Them!"
I purchased a pair of Easy Boot Glove Back Country for my #1 horse?ÇÖs front hoofs back in the fall. This was my first experience with hoof boots. I have not been disappointed at all!!! I ordered the wide size for my horse as his feet are almost round. They stay on and don?ÇÖt move at all best I can tell. I?ÇÖve had him on several challenging rides using them: big steep rocky hills, walking for several hundred yards down a 3?ÇÖ deep rocky creek, mud?Ǫ.. They don?ÇÖt budge. They do get a little sand and gravel inside but so far it has not been a problem. My horse is flat footed and tender footed. I don?ÇÖt like steel shoes. The Back Countries have made our trail riding experiences much more enjoyable for me and my horse. I?ÇÖm currently working on ordering another pair for my #2 horse. I highly recommend getting the ?Ç£fit kit?Ç¥ from Easycare Inc. as both times I was surprised by the size I needed compared to my measurements and the chart. The staff at Easycare are awesome and very helpful. Ordering the fit kit is an inexpensive and very easy experience. You will most likely save the $$ you spend on the fit kit in return shipping on incorrect sizes if you order without using the fit kit.
"Easyboot back country"
"We ride in pretty rough mountainous terrain here in SW Virginia and have always had our Peruvians shod. Decided to give the Back County boots a shot so that our horses could enjoy being barefooted while at liberty. So far - for the most part - these boots have surpassed my expectations for staying on thru all the creeks and mud. However, when gaiting, the boots have tossed off when at times. They do require constant ""checking"" to ensure one hasn't come loose and/or off. Screws have needed tightening and may benefit from a dab of glue before use. Some of the stitching on the gaiters has failed and we have only used them a half dozen times. Overall I would rate them slightly above average but we will continue to give them a try."

I'm wondering what this history OST will consist of. SMT 1 & 2 tracks? Or just localized stuff?Also, it's kind of a shame they never exploited the 20th/25th anniversary last year.
I would be pleasantly surprised if we received remakes of SMT1+2 on the 3DS. I've tried multiple times to play SMT2 on an emulator, but I think it's too outdated for me.
Yeah, Eternal Punishment actually had a relatively good dub for the time being, some of the voices might even be better than those chosen in IS (need to get further in that though.)Incidentally, Innocent Sin PSP kind of IS the answer to "what if they were different?"
Quote from: Draak on April 29, 2013, 08:36:30 PMIs Devil Survivor Overclocked worth $40? I've played through the original once, way back in 2009/2010. I don't care much for the VA, but the 8th days seems interesteing. Or should I save the money and hit You Tube instead?Honestly, the extra days weren't worth it. I felt that one or two of them actually harmed the experience more than helped. The developers did add some small things that made the presentation superior to the original - and not just the voice acting - but if you've played the original, you're not going to find a ton of new content, simply an overall cleaner experience.

Shin Megami Tensei IV (9/9/10/9, 37 points): The hardcore RPG folks at Famitsu couldn't get enough of the new SMT, by far their favorite portable title of the week. "The game does a great job of guiding you in through the tutorial," Ebihara wrote, "and I'm impressed how open it is to even beginners to the series. Despite that, the difficulty's set so that you're always toeing the line between life and death, and the Shin Megami Tensei-style tension is present in every battle.""The battle system, where you strike at enemies' weak points in order to increase your number of turns, is as simple as it is thrilling," Yoshida added. "It's easy as always to get enthralled in demon fusions, and the 'recommendation' feature for fusions is also convenient."Source: Polygon

Recipe Summary
Recipe Servings: 12 standard muffins or 24 minature muffins
Recipe Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Recipe Cook Time: 30 minutes
3 cups all-purpose Flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
4 large eggs
Zest from one orange
3 tbsp Lucini® Dark Cherry Balsamico
1 cup plain yogurt
1 cup Lucini® extra virgin olive oil
1 cup fresh blueberries
Adjust the oven rack to the middle-lower part of the oven and preheat to 375°F. Place paper liners in a standard 12-cup muffin pan.
Mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
Using an electric mixer beat the sugar, eggs, and zest in a large bowl until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the vinegar. Gradually beat in the oil. Beat in one half of the dry ingredients until just incorporated. Beat in one third of the yogurt. Beat in half of the remaining dry ingredients. Beat in a second third of the yogurt. Beat in the remaining dry ingredients and then the remaining yogurt. Do not over beat. Fold in the berries. If you are using frozen berries, defrost them first, drain the excess liquid, and then coat them in a light dusting of flour.
Distribute the muffin dough equally among the cups and bake until muffins are golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Test with a long toothpick to make sure the center of the muffins are done. Set on wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Remove muffins from the tin and serve when still warm.

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah and other energy-producing states in the West are besieged by federal regulations controlling oil and gas production, a barrier that is costing economies billions of dollars and thousands of jobs.
Those findings were detailed Tuesday in a report released by the newly created Sutherland Institute Center for Self Government in the West, which looked at three scenarios of development on federal land for fossil fuels, as well as renewable energy.
"There is a lot more potential for development on public lands than we are able to achieve," said Carl Graham, the center's director. "We're leaving an awfully lot on the table by not being able to responsibly develop the resources on public lands at the same pace as private lands."
In Utah, the hit at the high end is $6.7 billion and 58,000 jobs, according to methodology used by University of Wyoming professor Timothy Considine, drawing on past trends, current plans and energy holdings.
"However one views the posture of federal policy, this scenario clearly demonstrates there is considerable upside potential from developing oil and natural gas on federal lands," the study notes.
Considine modeled the economic values of energy resources on federal lands in seven Western states and looked at those pending projects winding their way through the federal regulatory process on lands already set aside for development.
Related Story
"We're not talking about lands like national parks or wilderness study areas," Graham said.
At the most conservative end of the scale, the study notes Utah could realize about $1.2 billion more and tap into an extra 9,400 jobs if the projects could untangle from the red tape.
The report notes that Utah and six other Western states produce more than 1.2 billion barrels of crude oil and natural gas liquids per day, accounting for more than 20 percent of the country's natural gas production.
A snapshot of where that production is happening reveals that on public lands, natural gas output has declined since 2009 and experienced a slight uptick on private lands. The difference is more startling for crude oil production — 14 percent growth on public lands overshadowed by a rate twice that much, 28 percent, on private land.
Because nearly half of the lands in these Western states are owned by the federal government, industry faces long delays and uncertainty propelled by changing regulations and government inaction, the report said.
"Thanks to red tape, regulation and conflicting priorities, the wealth of natural resources in the region's federally held lands is largely untapped — and the result has been a loss of economic growth in a region brimming with potential," it said.
We're leaving an awfully lot on the table by not being able to responsibly develop the resources on public lands at the same pace as private lands.
–Carl Graham
But the Sierra Club's Tim Wagner said the report's findings are baseless, driven by a dollar-hungry industry.
"The so-called 'red tape, regulation and conflicting priorities' alleged by this report is nothing more than rhetoric from an industry that wants complete, unfettered access to public resources," he said.
Wagner noted with irony that a tourism report released the same day highlighted the popularity of Utah's natural landscapes, which draw millions of visitors.
"Let's ask those visitors if they want to see a Utah with more drill rigs, pipelines, and heavy truck traffic on our scenic byways," he said.
Graham said the study's findings coupled with the center's report have important pubic policy implications for Western states that struggle with federal land ownership issues.
A Montana native who was plucked by the institute to head up the new center this summer, Graham is overseeing a regional federalism effort that has its roots in Utah's 2012 passage of the Transfer of Public Lands Act — which demands the federal government cede title to the land it controls in Utah.
"The idea is returning government closer to the people," he said. "We feel there are too many decisions being made too far away, and that has the potential to impose other people's values on communities. The solutions or policies aren't optimized for here. They are optimized for somewhere else."

Re: Where to go to practice?
I am back in the bay area and wanted to hear if anyone is Kitesurfing at Crown Beach in Alameda at this time of year.
The wind statistics on windfinder actually look very well early in the year, much better than in summer and fall. http://www.windfinder.com/windstats/win ... lameda.htm
And the forecast has predicts some days with avg speeds of above 12 kts.
Are there any safety reasons not to kite at this time of year if you have a warm wetsuit? Any dangerous seasonal currents, etc?
Re: Where to go to practice?
Nope, no reason not to kite at Alameda whenever it's windy! Alameda tends to be rideable on two somewhat different weather situations - NW clearing winds (best in the early Spring) and South storm winds (usually mid-winter).
If you haven't ridden there before and the tide is high, ask someone to point out the cement obstacles just downwind of the "Shack" - the Boardsports shop and school building. If the tide is medium to low, they're obvious.
Another thing to be aware of is people on the beach. When Alameda is temptingly windy (often), you'll get a mix of kiters and people using the beach. If the wind is in this light-ish range, you may end up with your kite falling out of the sky on or near people, dog walkers, kids, etc. Make sure to allow for other users to safely use the beach without being hit by a kite or tangled in lines as an injury to an innocent beach user would be no fun for anyone.
I believe I've read somewhere (maybe on the signs at the Shack?) the recommended practice at Alameda is something like "feet on sand, kite in hand" - meaning that they recommend kiters land their kite in the water and wrap up your lines (self-rescue) instead of trying to land kites on the beach - particularly if you end up down wind and there is no knowledgable kite savvy person to help you land your kite.

Re: Where to go to practice?
And here are the Alameda Guidelines:
Re: Where to go to practice?
Lots of good tips from WindMuch (who is eminently qualified to provide such tips). An added thought...
I've kited at Alameda three or four times since the beginning of the year. This time of year, the wind can be *really* fickle. In one session, I was overpowered, then nicely powered, and then my kite dropped in the water and it was 10+ minutes before I was able to relaunch. Fortunately, I was only in chest-deep water but it was C--O--L--D!!
Moral of the story: Make sure you're fully comfortable with relaunching and self-rescue. And I recommend *overdressing* for warmth, just in case. I was fully geared up (wetsuit, impact vest, Hyperflex neoprene jacket, helmet, gloves, booties). I wouldn't want to float around in that water for any length of time in just a westsuit. Even bodydragging is unpleasant.
Re: Where to go to practice?
You are smart to start hitting Alameda now. Alameda is one of the easiest places to learn/practice, especially if you're going to be unaccompanied by an instructor. Alameda wind turns on early - around now - and shuts down early - by summer - so it's good to get your time in there now.
The information that Kirk provided is really good. I HIGHLY recommend that you read the links he included, as well as scour the rest of the site... there really is a lot of info here.
I would double what Kirk said about being careful with other beach users. Crown Point has a TON of other folks walking up and down the beach. Lots of kids, especially on a nice, weekend day. It is absolutely critical to keep your kite and lines away from them. This means maintaining good control of your kite at all times and, if you can't get back to other kiters to land you, self rescuing in the water. Accidents have happened with other beach goers here, and maintaining a good/safe reputation for kiters is really critical for community relations.
As for warmth, I've always been fine at Alameda in a 3/2, but it's been awhile since I've felt the water this early in the season. Over the summer, Alameda is definitely comfortable in a 3/2.
Also, IMHO - the wind at Alameda is often too light to really learn on unless you have a gigantic kite. You really do need some actually power to learn how to go upwind. So really jump in when you see a prediction for a windy day there.
Good luck!
Re: Where to go to practice?
Thank you for all the answers, thats a lot of good information for me to process
I am very happy to hear that Alameda is good to go! I hope I will be able to get enough practice to be able to hit 3rd or other places by the end of this summer.
Alameda was not very crowdy last fall, but the wind was also pretty much as non existant as beachgoers.
I remember I had a lot of troubles last fall because the wind was extremely low, but I think that somehow made me learn more about kite control. In a pretty frustrating way with my kite sitting on the water many times, but still I learned a lot... especially about re-launch and self-rescue.
It looks like Monday/Tuesday is going to be nice so I will drop by Alameda in the afternoon and see if I can meet other Kiters to introduce me to the beach etiquette.
Thanks again!
- Dennis
Re: Where to go to practice?
Forecast is for good wind this Tuesday & Wed Mar-5 & 6.
Gonna try to leave early from work and go kiting
Re: Where to go to practice?
Not a newbie to kiting, but to kiting in SF... What hours does it blow at Alemeda? I'm frequently in the city on business and am trying to find a late afternoon kite spot...
Re: Where to go to practice?
If you're in the City in the afternoons, I'd say 3rd Avenue is going to be your 'money' spot. It's probably one of the most predictable and reliable wind spots in the Bay Area.

Usami needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 187 designs submitted by 41 freelance designers.
Usami Stevenson Ltd.
I have just left the 9 - 5 world and am looking to set up something on my own. This company is really just a holding company for other projects I am looking to push forward.
The name Usami Stevenson came from my background; I'm half Japanese and half Scottish, and Usami is my mums surname, and Stevenson my dads.
I am not looking for anything flash but a logo that will look professional and will provide me with some legitimacy with my business start-ups.
Really looking to give you guys free reign on a design, and look forward to see what you guys come up with.
I will have more design requirements coming up with larger budgets so pretty excited to see how this turns out.
No target market, it's really a logo for a start up holding company that will be involved in a broad set of businesses in the future...
Something that includes the business name and a logo beside it. Not married to this idea and open to seeing other options...
Only other real requirement is that it has to look professional and make the business look legitimate...

Yeah, Jack Black and Gwyneth Paltrow.
If you're going to have male Pandaren that look a helluva lot like, well, pudgy pandas, why on earth would you create a female Pandaren that looks like she's been on The Biggest Loser? Don't give me the "we have to make females look significantly different than males" crap, either. Therazane alone defeats that concept.
To me, making female Pandaren "skinny Pandas with J Lo hips" signifies a lack of imagination. Another way of looking at it is to consider the female Pandaren as a female Human base that has been "Panda-ized", instead of going from a real honest-to-god Panda and building a recognizable female from that.
Think of Therazane; she broke the mold for female bosses and (semi) faction leaders completely, and Blizz could have built on that by going in a more unique direction. But with the female Pandaren silhouette, it looks like Blizz played it safe and sexy because it sells.

Hello mate!
1. Quick question here: Wht size of the board (and what board) do you have now?
2. Ive heard a lot that "the smaller the board - the easyer it to ride on heavy wind\with big kites".
Right now i use 136cm board from FutureKiting. And for my weight (85 kilo) - seem liek its kinda "too big" for airstle on big kite. Because right now its kinda heavy teask for me to ride on my 14m Switchblade when gusts run over 20-22knots.
So, from your advices i think i need to try (thbe buy?) a smaller board.
But "how far" should i go? What kind of board can you reccomend in terms of size. 100cm? 120cm? 130cm?
Of course i will try to text as many "smaller than current 136cm boards" to many up my own opinion. But what do you think? What size i should lloking for?
And it there any potential disadvantages which i may find if i will chosse and buy "too small" board?

Dedicated to raising public and media awareness about online harassment.
Wendy Davis, Angela Angel, Marilyn Mosby, Kim Weaver, Rina Shah Bharara, Stephanie Roman, Katherine Clark, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen discuss online harassment #NameItChangeIt
Browse the Speech Project archive.
Earlier this year, in a little remarked upon episode, the nation was exposed to how differently men and women politicians are treated in media. In September, Senator John McCain was showered with accolades after he voted against his party's attempt to repeal Obamacare and urged his peers to espouse cross-party conciliation. McCain's Johnny-Come-Lately stake in the ground came, however, in the wake of the consistent, longer-standing, and defiant intra-party opposition of two other Republican Senators, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, who were motivated, in part by their pro-choice stance.

"Online misogyny is a global gender rights tragedy and it is imperative that it ends. Girls and women's voices are constrained in ways that are personally, professionally and economically damaging."
Rape threats and other sexualized vitriol online feel extremely personal.

They give the impression that the senders know us, that they are aware of our particular weak spots and of what to say to […]

"'Online musings' is a ridiculous euphemism for what are of-ten grossly violent and misogynistic threats," Soraya Chem-aly, director of the Speech Project of the Women's Media Center, which seeks to encourage free expression and curtail online abuse, told Cosmopolitan.com. "It sends the message to abusive partners, obsessive stalkers, or angry rejected boys that it's just fine to post a little ditty in social media and claim they were joking. It sends the correlating message to women that their realistic assessments of risk and the costs of chang-ing their lives in response to threats is irrelevant. It solves nothing and, arguably, makes things worse.

Making changes to styles and templates on clojure.org
Overview of the steps for modifying the look and feel of clojure.org's wikispaces site.
After logging in via wikispaces, open up the Settings page. (Note: only a handful of people have rights to do this.)
A wikispaces theme contains the structural markup for the site. More info can be found in the Wikispaces help topic.
The "theme" is found under Look & Feel > Themes and Colors. If you scroll down the page you will see one theme marked as Current Theme. As of this writing the theme in use is "TH copyright fix 2014-03-28", but that may change as modifications are needed.
Changing the theme
For safety sake, I tend to make a copy of the theme and test modifications rather than changing the theme directly. To do this use the form on the bottom of the same page. Enter a name, and in the Start From field, choose the theme that is marked as Current Theme above.
After editing the new theme, make sure you use the Preview functionality to test your changes.
After saving your changes, from the theme list choose your new theme and click Apply.
> NB! After applying the new theme, you should test all the pages while still logged in (this includes content apages and management pages). Then LOG OUT and restest all the content pages.
The stylesheet for clojure.org was created before wikispaces added the functionality to include style overrides via a form in the Settings > Look & Feel > Stylesheet. So, the way we have this setup is a bit of a kludge.
From the top nav, choose Pages and Files, then search for "css" and you will see Clojure.css. There are also print.css for the print stylesheet, and Clojure-staging.css that I will use to test out changes (by changing the `<link>` in a new theme).
To upload a new version of the css, use the Pages and Files > Upload link. There will be a prompt that you are replacing an existing file.
We should change this
We should either use the built in stylesheet feature, though it is strange to me that this isn't tied to the theme. Otherwise, we should at least use versioned css files (perhaps living in a git repo somewhere) so that we have some history of changes.

Three May Be A Party, But To Me Its Just A Crowd
Charlie's girlfriend, Sharon, has moved in with Bella and him. Bella's a little more then put out with her.
1. Meet and greet
Rating 4.5/5 Word Count 793 Review this Chapter
I was hanging on Edward's back when we came in the front door. I was laughing about this morning when Emmett called Mike Newton and told him Edward wanted to go on a man date with him. Edward didn't find it so funny, but I certainly did.
I spent the night with Alice, going over wedding plans. She spent three whole hours debating with herself, whether or not to use pink napkins or blue napkins.
Tonight I was supposed to meet this woman Charlie's been dating for the last couple of months. I had to admit, they were getting pretty serious. He was out with her every night and Edward said he thinks about her often. I was really curious to meet the woman actually. Charlie said her name was Sharon Williams.
"What time is Charlie's girlfriend coming over?" I asked Edward. He would know better then I would.
"Six o'clock on the dot." He told me. He swung me around, so that he was carrying me bridal style. He sat down on the couch so I was positioned comfortably in his lap.
I glanced at his watch- five thirty. I spent nearly all my day with Emmett, Edward and Alice playing scrabble. Emmett kept making up words.
I looked down at my sweats and t-shirt and decided I needed to go change. I started to get up of Edward's lap, but he pulled me back down.
"And where do you think you're going?" he grinned, mischievously.
"To get dressed." I told him as I snuggled against his chest.
"You look perfect to me." He murmured, kissing my forehead softly.
"Maybe to you. But I'm trying to impress someone." I chuckled. I looked up at his frowning face.
"You don't try to impress me?" he asked, faking hurt.
"Not anymore." I smiled and kissed his frown away.
"I'm hurt." He teased, kissing me back. I wrapped my arms around his neck out of habit. When he ended it I smiled against his lips.
"I love you." he whispered.
"I love you, too." I laughed. I kissed him once again until I heard the door swing open. I pulled away quickly, and tried to scramble out of Edward's lap, but he held me there. I threw him a frantic glance as I heard Charlie coming into the living room.
"No need to be embarrassed, love." He chuckled.
"Bella!" Charlie called. I glared at Edward. Charlie came in the living room, looking through the mail. "Hey, Bells-" Charlie stopped dead in his tracks when he saw me on Edward's lap. His face was turning slightly red.
"Bella, what may I ask are you up to?" he mumbled staring at Edward.
"N-nothing, dad. Just hanging out." I stuttered. He stared at me for a second before turning to glare at Edward.
"Well, Bella, Sharon will be here in about fifteen minutes. Edward, are you staying?" he asked through clenched teeth.
"If that's alright with you, sir." Edward replied smoothly. Charlie grunted and nodded, stalking off.
I got off Edward's lap and scrambled up the stairs to change. When I got to my room, there was a pair of jeans, no doubt designer, and a dark blue sweater. I hurriedly put it on and walked slowly down the stairs, hoping to avoid a trip to the hospital.
Edward was in the chair while Charlie was sitting on the couch. As if on cue, the doorbell rang saving us an awkward conversation. Charlie got up to get the door and I went to sit on the couch, but Edward grabbed me as I walked past.
"The couch is too small for the three of you. sit with me." He whispered in my ear as he pulled me onto his lap.
"You'll be lucky if Charlie doesn't shoot you." I hissed at him.
"It won't hurt me." He chuckled.
"That doesn't mean he won't try." I warned him.
Charlie then walked back in the room with a woman at his side. She had curly black hair and look about mid forties. She had blue eyes and some laugh lines. She smiled at me and Edward, happily.
"Bells, this is Sharon, Sharon this is my daughter Bella." Charlie grinned. He seemed to have looked past the fact I was on my fiancé's lap.
"Hello Bella, it's so nice to meet you." she said, her voice giving off friendliness.
I got off Edward's lap and shook her hand. "You too. Charlie's talked non stop about you." I laughed and Charlie blushed slightly.
"Oh, he goes on and on about you, Bella!" she chuckled. "He's very proud of you." she added softly.
"I'm very proud of him." I smiled at the kind woman in front of me.

Eminger, according to Andrew Gross, has no timetable to return but told the Rangers twitter that he feels like he has some time:

He suffered a separated shoulder and missed close to two months.
When Emmy comes back he will provide more depth on defense besides Jeff Woywitka and whoever is scratched between Tim Erixon and Anton Stralman. The Rangers are going to need as many healthy and capable bodies as they can to get through the playoffs so Eminger will be a welcome addition back.

Zynga just preannounced its third-quarter results. They're awful. There's one glaring reason why.
Zynga has admitted that it spent way too much to buy OMGPOP, the maker of Draw Something, a popular mobile app.
It spent $183 million in cash on the startup earlier this year. We wondered if it was cheap at the time. It wasn't. Zynga is now planning to take a writeoff of between $85 million and $95 million on that purchase.
Zynga needed to do something dramatic to boost its presence in mobile. In its announcement, it touted the fact that it now has three out of the top five mobile games as measured by ComScore. But now it's obvious it overspent to gain that position.

Event Listing - Festivals that celebrate our railways
Event Listings
Stay on the right track with beer festivals that celebrate our railways
Hoping to combine a CAMRA beer festival with a great rail journey or an opportunity to discover more about trains? There are plenty of events that offer the chance to do both!
Market Bosworth Rail Ale Festival
21-23 July 2017
Eight years ago the first Rail Ale Festival was held in the Shackerstone Station, but has now grown into an official CAMRA beer festival running alongside a vintage rally. The event takes place in and around the Goods Shed at Market Bosworth Station with ales also served from the Griddle Car bar on the trains. Visitors can expect to see an eclectic mix of historic vehicles, including 10 live steam road locomotives, miniature traction engines and vintage commercial vehicles, with trains in operation on the Friday afternoon. Family friendly during the daytime, the festival also boasts a children's bouncy castle, fairground organ and entertainment.
Chappel Beer Festival
5-9 September
Hailed as the original railway museum festival, the Chappel Beer Festival is held at the East Anglian Railway museum among the exhibits. Now 31 years old, the Department of Transport even runs a special service to the event as part of the Greater Anglia Franchise. With over 460 beers including new, rare and local brews and 100 ciders, visitors should also take a look at the Big Tent Bar, which is new for this year.
Crewe Rail Ale Festival
8-10 September 2017
Held at the Crewe Railway Heritage Centre, the festival includes mini train rides, railway displays, and access to the vintage vehicles, diesel and electric locomotives and signal boxes. If that's not enough, why not sit on the APT train and watch the modern trains rush by on the West Coast mainline. For the cost of entry to the beer festival visitors can tour all of the Heritage centres exhibits too!
Concrete Pint Festival
18-21 October
A perfect opportunity to celebrate 50 years of Milton Keynes, the festival is also held close to the MK Museum, which has a dedicated exhibit to Wolverton Works. Wolverton developed its huge importance in the early years of Victorian railways as the first "stop" from London on mainline rail journeys when trains had no toilets or buffets - so trains stopped at Wolverton for (lengthy periods) for refreshment and breaks. This helped development of brewing in the area to meet these needs. The festival, which is now in its 24th year, has a Golden Ales theme to honour the birthday celebrations of the town.
Stourbridge Festival
25-28 April 2018
This festival may be of special interest to rail enthusiasts as it provides a chance to try out the Stourbridge Shuttle - a single car light railway system that serves only two stations. The high frequency, environmentally friendly service can be used to the festival. Although it's too early to detail exactly what will be on offer, the festival has previously offered a varied beer and cider list, a range of hot and cold food and merchandise stands.

LeAnn Rimes Talks Tour, New Music and Family Life on the Road
More than 15 years into her career, LeAnn Rimes has seemingly come into her own as artist, wife and step-mother of two, striking an important balance between her work and personal life. In an interview with radio station 1130 the Tiger, the Grammy Award-winning singer spoke candidly about the importance of the quality relationships in her life.
"We had our ups and downs for sure," says Rimes, speaking about her longtime label home, Curb Records. "I always had an open relationship with the head of the label. It's definitely been a great ride."
Despite the self-professed functioning business relationship, the singer is quick to divulge that her next studio album is the last contractually-obligated project with the Nashville-based label. With that information in mind, Rimes assures listeners the new album is anything but a rushed project to fulfill a business contract.
"I'm working on a new record ... we're finishing up. I love it," she confesses. "I've written two-thirds of it. It's super fun and heartbreaking and all the emotions in between. It's called 'Spitfire.'"
As she wraps recording in the upcoming summer months, the Texas native will also stay busy traveling the country. Even with her legion of loyal fans, Rimes admits that her favorite place to perform may be a more personal, intimate venue.
The singer spilled that her two young stepsons are fascinated by her career. "I always -- at least once a year -- have them ask to sing or their class," she spills. "They want me to sing for their class. It's fun to be able to do that."
When she and her husband Eddie Cibrian -- who just celebrated their one-year anniversary -- are not visiting the local elementary schools, the happy family can be found on the road together. "They come on tour sometimes," Rimes shares on bringing the kid on tour. "They love the tour bus. It's like a jungle gym for them."
But what can fans expect for the string of shows leading up to the release of Rimes' next project? "We've broken things down into an intimate setting," says the 'Crazy Women' singer. "I encourage people to talk to me -- open dialogue with my fans."
"It's more of a singer-songwriter 'Storytellers' situation, where I play stuff off 'Lady & Gentleman,' stuff off the new album and some the hits," says Rimes. "It's a wide variety of things."
Fans who are unable to wait until November for 'Spitfire' to hit stores can catch Rimes previewing new tracks live. The singer will continue to tour the country through the end of the year. Click here for tour dates and ticket information.

We live in a strange and crazy world. But I'm not telling you anything you don't already know. Sometimes though, the overall irony shoots right over the top.
Zombies are a hot commodity. Never mind nobody's ever seen a real one -- they're on TV, T-shirts, in books, video games and the movies, so we're all familiar with this group of undead.
For the last few years, for many viewers, zombies have dominated Sunday evening television -- giving a new definition to the term, "dead man walking." Zombies were to the Neilson ratings what marshmallows are to s'mores -- gooey blobs that had people coming back for seconds while sitting around the warm glow of a campfire (or TV screen).
It appeared zombies had the upper hand -- well, the ones that still had hands did. They were the Chia pets of the new millennium. Trendy and not very cute, but cropping up everywhere. Despite their gory appearance, ratings were through the roof and zombies were on a roll (or at least a slow-paced swagger). Nothing short of an axe to the head would stop these man-eating monsters.
Then, along came God.
We've always known God had a corner on the Sunday morning market, but now He's hit primetime with a miniseries on the Bible. Big and small screen adaptations of the Bible have been done before. Mr. Gibson and Mr. Heston will attest to this. But, our current Bible story has viewers flocking around their screens by the millions.
In the beginning, there were zombies, but in its premiere week, the Bible beat the undead. Score one for the big guy.
God and zombies actually have more in common than a Sunday night primetime slot. Zombies rise from the dead. The Bible practically invented this miraculous feat. Jesus wouldn't be Jesus without it.
Consider the whole eternity thing. God promises eternity; zombies are stuck with it. They've got to experience a blow or bullet to the brain in order to escape the unlife of zombiedom.
Blood, gore and more -- the zombie channel isn't the only place to get your daily helping of brutality. The Bible is full of violent acts: brothers killing brothers, kings killing babies, people turning to salt and the siege and slaughter of entire cities.
Makes dodging slow-moving, dim-witted zombies seem like a piece of cake.
Zombies may not have a whole lot going on in the areas of conversation and intellect, but they're technologically advanced and never further away than your smartphone. You can even access an app that shows what you would look like if you were a zombie. (Why?)
Not to be outdone, God and the Bible are both socially networked and online. God -- there's an app for that. You might think it's impossible to tweet the story of creation in 140 characters or less. If anyone can do it, God can.
While zombie lore goes way back in Haitian culture, for all practical purposes, zombies came to the U.S. when the first "Night of the Living Dead" movie was made in 1968. God has been around a lot longer than that. (Charlton Heston starred in "The Ten Commandments" way back in 1956.)
Moses may have surfed the Red Sea, but the guys at my house like to channel surf. Can you imaging flipping back and forth between the Bible and zombies? Abraham prepares to sacrifice Isaac; (flip) Carl is lost. Moses witnesses the burning bush; (flip) Has anybody seen Carl? Samson gets a haircut; (flip) Where is Carl?
It's said God gave people free will. As of late, we also have a choice on Sunday evenings. We can watch zombies or the Bible. Or, we could be totally unconventional and read a book.
I'd suggest making it a good one.

If you have left over boiled potatoes from dinner use it to bake this amazing moist and great tasting bread.
4 Potato Bread
8 boiled potatoes, mixed
6 dl milk (600ml)
50 grams of yeast
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp dark corn syrup
2 tsp bread spice (mix of anise, fennel, caraway)
2 dl rye flour (200ml)
14-15 dl (1400-1500ml) wheat flour
Crumble the fresh yeast into a bowl and add lukewarm milk (37 d C.). If you are using dry yeast, let it dissolve in warm milk min. 43 degrees C. Set aside for 10-15 minutes while the yeast dissolves.
Add golden salt, syrup, bread spice, mixed potatoes into the milk and yeast mixture. combine. Add rye flour and wheat flour a little at a time and combine until you have used almost all the flour. The dough should become smooth. Make sure you don't use too much flour as it will make the bread dry. Work the dough by hand for about 20 minutes or in a kitchen aid for about 10 minutes. When you feel that the dough is ok, cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and set aside to rise to double its size for about 40-60 minutes. Place the bowl in a warm place.
The dough is ready when it's slightly glossy. If you work the dough too little, the bread will turn out dense. One trick is to take a piece of dough between your thumb and index finger, pull finger apart, if the dough between your fingers are thin and elastic, you've worked it enough. Otherwise....work it more:-)
Sprinkle some flour onto work top and place the dough on top. Work the dough once again, this time, just a little bit, add extra flour if the dough is too sticky. Divide the dough into 4 equal sized pieces. Make large round loafs and place on an oven paper covered baking plate. Use a glass to make a whole in the middle of the bread. Sprinkle some flour on top. Leave and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 230 degrees C. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 15 minutes, until your bread has lots of colour. Let cool on an oven rack.

A training workshop about implementing an extra-curricular lesson series, "Protecting Sea Turtles and their Habitat" was conducted in mid-March for more than 30 junior high school teachers in the two coastal communes of Hai An and Trieu Lang in Trieu Phong District, Quang Tri Province.
The training is a component of the community awareness raising segment of IUCN's Community-Based Management of Sea Turtle Habitat in Quang Tri Province Project.
The training workshop provided teachers with the skills needed to organizing extra-curriculum activities based on the document "Let's Save Sea Turtles and Their Habitat ." The document outlines information and knowledge that can help raise the awareness of youth about sea turtle conservation and was developed especially for extra-curricular classes . It is accompanied by an informative packet, entitled "Biological Information About Sea Turtles and Their Habitat."
Due to the participatory methodology of the training program, all of the participants mastered the skills needed to deliver creative and effective extra-curricular courses.
The 3-day training workshop included four main components. The first was training about the content of the lessons to be delivered. The second provided information about how to effectively implement extra-curricular exercises such as warm-up activities, role play, games, and drama performances. Next, in small teams, participants demonstrated the skills they learned by delivering mock lectures and delivering a drama performance about sea turtle conservation. The training session concluded with a group evaluation of each team's lecture and drama performance and comment provision to enrich the curriculum contents.
Representatives from the District Education Department and the People's Commune Committees attended the workshop and expressed strong support for the Sea Turtle Conservation awareness raising programme.
At the conclusion of the workshop, lessons learned and proposal for a follow-up plan were developed. The document has been circulated to local stakeholders to coordinate future awareness raising and education programmes. The lessons on protecting sea turtles and their habitat will be taught in extra-curricular classes for students in grades 6 to 9.

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This is one of those breads that fall into the simply delicious category. It is easy to prepare and all the ingredients needed to make it, including the flavored coffee creamer, can be found in any large supermarket. It is hard to go wrong with this recipe, but you can make your bread even better, by toasting the almonds and using the full compliment of almond extract that's called for in the recipe. The bread is a great keeper and it ages really well. The white chocolate glaze is unexpected, but it is a wonderful compliment to the cranberries and nuts used in the bread. The loaf would make a wonderful addition to a tea table and I know it will be welcomed by those of you who are tired of the old cranberry and orange combination. Here is how this more upscale version is made.
Cranberry and Almond Quick Bread with White Chocolate Glaze...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Midwest Living magazine
1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons almond extract
2/3 cup chopped almonds, toasted if you like
White Chocolate Glaze (see recipe below)
1) Rinse cranberries in cold water; drain. Grease bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides of one 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Line bottom of pan with waxed paper; grease. Set aside.
2) In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in center of flour mixture; set aside.
3) In a medium bowl, combine eggs, buttermilk, melted butter and almond extract. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy). Fold in cranberries and the chopped almonds. Spoon batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly.
4) Bake in a 325 degree F oven about 75 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted near center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack. Wrap and store overnight before slicing.
Before serving, unwrap bread. Drizzle with White Chocolate Glaze and sprinkle with additional toasted almonds. Makes 1 loaf (12 slices).
White Chocolate Glaze
1/4 cup white baking pieces
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 tablespoon French vanilla liquid coffee creamer
In a small, microwave-safe bowl, microwave white baking pieces on 50 percent power (medium) for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring once or twice. Stir in powdered sugar and French vanilla liquid coffee creamer. If necessary, stir in additional coffee creamer, 1 teaspoon at a time, until glaze reaches drizzling consistency. Makes 1/4 cup.
