Halloween Week 2016 // Ghost of Halloween Past

Yes, it's that time of the year again! When Becky Deadbug pops up and takes control of the blog for the last week of October. Last year, I was woefully unprepared so I've taken steps this year to ensure that doesn't happen again! In fact, I may have prepared a little too well because Halloween week is more like Halloween-thirteen-days. Doesn't have quite the same ring to it though! Let's call it Halloween Fortnight. To launch my Halloween-thirteen-days Fortnight this year, I'm going to take you on a little trip through memory lane and share some of my costumes from Halloweens past. Warning: Scary photo quality ahead!

90s Halloween Party
When I was 11, I decided I wanted a real grown-up Halloween party. For some reason, this ended up being held in my grandparents' house 10 miles away from all my school friends. Probably because my mum decided she didn't want six excitable children screaming around her house, which is fair enough. My brother and I were each allowed to invite two guests, so I chose my two best friends- Katie and Kerry. It's worth noting at this point that, although we all went to the same school, Katie and Kerry didn't really know each other. Katie had been my best friend since actual forever and I'd only met Kerry a few weeks earlier in DT class. Still, the three of us agreed we were going to dress as sexy devils. I spent ages hunting the perfect tight black skirt that I could roll up to impossibly indecent lengths and spectacular devil horns, topped off with black eyeshadow and lashings of red lipstick. Yep, I was a sexy devil alright. Did I mention I was 11? What the hell, past Becky? I couldn't wait to see Katie and Kerry in their matching devil outfits... then they both completely shafted me and turned up as mediocre witches. Ultimate betrayal. Still, it was a good party. I'd planned to play Murder in the Dark in the garden but we ended up with torrential rain so instead my Grandma and Auntie Jacqueline put bedsheets over their heads and hid in the bedroom. Far from the super cool, mature party I wanted, it was pretty quaint, but it was also really cute looking back now.

Halloween 2005
Halloweens passed by quite merrily until 2005. I don't really remember any of them, except one time when I had vague ambitions of being a spider complete with six extra moveable limbs. Then I discovered emo and oh boy, Halloween was exciting after that. In 2005, Kerry of witch-betrayal fame threw a Halloween party (this is weird because after our first year at school we didn't really see each other much- nothing to do with the Halloween party, I swear!- and then after leaving school we suddenly became really close again for a few months). I went to Kerry's party with Marie, who was my best friend by this time (apparently I switched best friends a lot) and our new college friend Steph. Because we were into My Chemical Romance in a big way, I went as Helena and Marie dressed as Frank Iero. Steph went as some sort of fairy thing because she was always a bit quirky like that. Marie's mum took this photo and I absolutely hated it. I'd done the whole foundation lips thing to look dead but instead it just made me look like I had a five o'clock shadow. Anyway, I don't remember much about Kerry's party so I guess it wasn't as good as my one 6 years previously. And I didn't have to stitch anyone up as the solitary pre-teen sexy devil.

Halloween 2006
2006 was even more fun because I was hopelessly depressed and hated absolutely everything. Except Halloween, of course. I had two different Halloween parties in one weekend because I was a party animal like that. This was also the year that a Greenpeace charity guy stopped me in the street and said he loved my costume when actually I was just wearing my normal clothes lolz. I decided to dress as some sort of emo dead jilted bride and, for reasons that I still don't know, a zombie cheerleader. I think I just wanted to play with pom poms. My boyfriend had broken up with me about six weeks earlier but I went to the parties with him still and was thoroughly miserable through the whole thing. Oh, to be young again!

Sexy Ladybird Halloween Costume
In 2008, I left my costume to the last minute so had to go out on Halloween and find something in town. There was only one costume left... A ladybird. Yep, I was a sexy ladybird. The worst thing? I wasn't even the only one! There were two other sexy ladybirds in the club that night! I hope they had the same problem as I did, otherwise there were actually two people who thought sexy ladybird was legitimately a great Halloween costume!

Wayne's World Garth Halloween Costumes This was the year I achieved my greatest feat of all time. For context, the club we go to for Halloween has a huge party every year. It's a rock club so they really go all out for it- it's the busiest night of the year, tickets sell out weeks in advance and they have a massive costume competition. It's a Big Deal. Marie and I had been toying with the idea of a couples costume and eventually took inspiration from our favourite film- Wayne's World. For some reason, Marie wanted to be Wayne and I was more than happy to let her because everybody knows Garth is the best! It might look like a simple costume but I cannot tell you the effort that went into finding an exact replica of Garth's Aerosmith t-shirt and the precise type of blue checked shirt. Although it wasn't a spooky costume, it went down an absolute storm and we ended up coming second place in the competition. We lost to a guy who dressed as someone from Assassin's Creed or something. Apparently he was really good so it wasn't too disheartening to miss out on first place. In fact, the worst thing about that night was that the DJ had lost his copy of Bohemian Rhapsody so we couldn't recreate the car scene. Gutted.

Fairly Odd Parents Cosmo and Wanda Halloween Costumes
Buoyed up by the previous year's success, we thought we'd go as another pair. This time we may have been a little too niche- Cosmo and Wanda. Back in our teenage years, we would spend hours watching Fairly Odd Parents at Marie's so it was the perfect costume for us. Unfortunately, only about two people knew who we were. The effort we put into this outfit- even creating a Timmy Turner from scratch (who, by the way, is currently hanging from his neck on the back of my under-stairs cupboard door)- was probably a little OTT for one night, especially as we were terrified of losing or damaging him in the club after all the work we'd put in. It was totally worth it though, even if only for our massive sense of self-achievement. It was also the first Halloween I blogged about with some truly terrible photography.

Ghost Halloween Costume
This was a tricky year because Rich and I had booked tickets to see Henning Wehn the same night as the Halloween party. Marie had to pick me up from the theatre so we could straight to the club, so I didn't have time to dress up properly (unless I wanted to sit in the theatre with fake blood all over my face). For this reason, I had to devise a costume that was quick and easy, and went for the ultimate old-school look: A ghost. One bedsheet, two eyeholes, sorted. It was met with mixed reaction. Some people thought it was brilliant, others told me off for "cheating" (I told you, this party is a big deal. We take it seriously!) Personally, I absolutely loved it. It was hot and heavy but there were so many plus points that I ended up writing a whole post about why everyone should go out clubbing as a ghost.

Of course, there were way more Halloween costumes than this but I don't have photos of them all, or the time to write about every single one. Think of this as my Halloween highlights. This year, I've got a huge amount of Halloween costumes and spooky-themed outfits prepared and I cannot wait to share them with you over the next thirteen days!

  1. This is amazing. Truly amazing. Laughted so much reading it and I'm genuinely so impressed by the costumes. Well done. A* xxx

  2. Ha, your historical Halloween costumes are amazing! The ghost costume was incredible regardless

  3. Ah I love the Wayne's World costume! I love Halloween too, but it's been a while since I've dressed up unfortunately.

  4. I laughed a fair bit at the 2014 costume, love it!

  5. The Garth costume is utterly brilliant! I am seriously jealous of that one.

    Also, although it's not Halloween-related, the sexy ladybird reminds me of when I was backpacking in New Zealand and our tour group was staying at a pub where they had a fancy dress night. As we were there in December, the theme was Christmas, and en route to this pub we stopped off at the NZ equivalent of Wilko to get the costumes. First thing we were hit with was Mrs Claus outfits at $10 a go. Cut to a few hours later, and pretty much every girl on this bus (apart from me - I went as a Christmas tree) walks into the pub dressed as Mrs Claus!

  6. I love your Halloween posts! The ghost costume is my favourite :)

  7. This is amazing! Love Halloween themed posts, and really enjoyed seeing your past Halloween costumes and experiences. My mum wouldn't let me celebrate Halloween, at all. No trick or treating, no parties, no costumes, no decorations. She was hung up on it being an American tradition that had made it's way over here? I don't know. Weird. So I missed out on all the fun of dressing up and going out with friends. Now I'm an adult with my own house, I look forward to decorating it every year and welcoming trick or treaters! x www.aimeeraindropwrites.co.uk x

    1. Aaw that's so sad! I went to school with someone who had the same thing. Glad you're making up for it now!

I read all comments and appreciate every single one, even if I can't always reply. If you have a question or need a reply, feel free to tweet me @BeckyBedbug- I always reply to tweets!

Children reading less as television trumps books

By Alison Kershaw

Today's children are reading less than seven years ago as their time is taken up with other activities, research suggests.

It is not just novels that youngsters are turning their back on.

The study found that children are also less likely to read comics, magazines and websites.

While many said they enjoy reading, almost a fifth said they would be embarrassed if a friend saw them with a book.

The research, by the National Literacy Trust, was based on a survey of more than 21,000 children and young people at the end of last year. The findings show that three in 10 youngsters read daily in their own time, compared with four in 10 in 2005.

Half of the children questioned said they enjoyed reading very much, or quite a lot, almost the same as in 2005 when the figure was 51%.

And 54% of those questioned said they preferred watching television to reading.

The study coincides with International Literacy Day tomorrow.

20th Century Boy - The Musical

The Belgrade Theatre and Bolanic Productions present

20th Century Boy

  • Tickets: £17 - £29.50 (Concessions £11 - £27.50)

For Sale

20th Century Boy, the musical inspired by the life of Marc Bolan, explodes onto the Belgrade’s Main Stage this September, coinciding with the 35th anniversary of the iconic star’s death.

Featuring some of the greatest rock songs ever written, 20th Century Boy tells the story of the life of Marc Bolan and his band T. Rex.

Rocker, poet, electric warrior, king of glam, godfather of punk, Marc Bolan tried many styles on for size in his search to become a superstar. Before his tragic death in 1977, a few days short of his 30th Birthday, Bolan lived life at breakneck speed, creating a series of iconic images, a string of number one hits and an army of obsessive fans.

The show will be packed with all of T. Rex’s ’70s hits, including Ride a White Swan, Metal Guru, Get It On, I Love to Boogie, Children of the Revolution, and of course the title track 20th Century Boy.

This is a bigger, bolder, full scale production following on from the sell-out success of the original 20th Century Boy at the New Wolsey Theatre Ipswich.

Join in the conversation and chat to fans of Marc Bolan and the musical by liking the 20th Century Boy Facebook page.

Look at our Pinterest board for 20th Century Boy.

More info about the history of 20th Century Boy can be found at the Bolanic Productions website.

“…if I could bottle up some of those performances, it would be one explosive cocktail!… 20th Century Boy is most definitely West End worthy.” *****

“This play has something for everyone. It’s the best sort of history lesson in 70s glamrock you could ask for. It’s funny, well written and after a tearful ending the actors took their well desired ovation.”

Coventry Observer

“Don’t be a dinosaur – get your rocks off and see this T.Rex monster!”

Festivals throw open gates of 'odditorium'

Would you like a side of circus with your Coldplay? Or an experimental performance piece with your Pixies set?

Music festivals are branching out this summer to embrace arts, dance, comedy, circus, performance and even public speaking with the old formula of rock bands and beer not cutting it any more.

Characters including Father Goose, Terezina and Betty Grumble will join New Year's Eve revellers at the Peats Ridge Festival in a 1200-square-metre performance space called The Night Odditorium. It's a ''twisted neo-carny'' festival in itself, featuring 70 characters spanning circus, theatre, sideshow and genre-bending performance art.

Further south in Victoria, the Falls Music and Arts Festival, which began 20 years ago as a traditional gathering of hardcore music lovers, has morphed into a diverse three days of bands, art exhibitions and stand-up comedy.

Music festivals have become such a fertile ground for up-and-coming artists, comedians and fringe performers that the Australia Council began offering grants for such partnerships two years ago.

Matt Grant, the promoter of the Peats Ridge Festival, said the whole festival experience and vibe had become more important to punters than one huge headline band.

''In Europe, it's about the culture of the festival and about experiencing community and creativity all together,'' the English expat said.

''In Australia, the word 'festival' has come to mean a one-day concert but I think people are starting to want that all-round experience. They want to step into another world for three days.''

After some years of poor ticket sales, Homebake has diversified this year by adding arts and comedy. Other traditional music-only one-dayers like Big Day Out and Parklife have seen ticket sales gradually slip.

Paul Pittico, a Splendour in the Grass and Falls Festival promoter, said most people still went for the music, the drinking and the partying but a growing number were engaging with what else was on offer.

Splendour in the Grass added a ''forum'' tent featuring public speaking, political debates, environmental workshops and even a reading of love letters this year.

''There might not be mass appeal in famous women reading out love letters but for 500 people it might be the highlight of their festival and that's cool,'' he said.

Yet the ever-growing offering can be part of the reason behind sky-rocketing festival ticket prices. ''It can get expensive because in every category you have to get the best,'' Mr Pittico said.

Victoria Johnstone, the arts and culture manager of Peats Ridge Festival, said it was worth it for the return visitors. ''The art and the colour and the creativity is why people come back every year,'' she said. ''And when people engage all their senses they enjoy the music more.''

The story Festivals throw open gates of 'odditorium' first appeared on The Sydney Morning Herald.

Herod’s tomb reported found
by Bend Weekly News Sources

A long search for Herod the Great’s tomb has ended with the discovery of remains of his grave, sarcophagus and mausoleum, according to archaeologists.

Palestine’s Roman-appointed ruler at the time of Jesus’ birth, Herod is said in the Bible to have ordered a slaughter of babies in order to be rid of the child. Although the tale is unconfirmed, historical sources portray him as having become bloodthirsty in these later years of his reign, among other things killing three of his own children.

But Herod, who ruled from 37 to 4 B.C., was also renowned for monumental building projects. These included the reconstruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, the palace at Masada and his greatest project—a complex at Herodium, south of Jerusalem, said archaeologist Ehud Netzer of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

The remains were unearthed there, at Mount Herodium’s northeastern slope, Netzer added.

Herodium is the only site that carries Herod’s name and is where he chose to be buried and to memorialize himself, said Netzer, who conducted the research with colleagues and with the participation of local Bedouins.

The team reached the burial site via a monumental stairway leading to the hillside and built, they said, for Herod’s extravagant funeral procession. Excavations on the slope of the mountain, topped by a famed complex of a palace, a fortress and a monument, began last August.

The location, the unique nature of the findings and the historical record leave no doubt that this was Herod’s burial site, Netzer said. But the mausoleum itself was almost totally dismantled in ancient times, leaving only part of its sturdy podium, or base.

Among the ruins were a group of decorated urns used to store ashes and chunks of a large, decorated sarcophagus of reddish limestone and believed to be Herod’s own, the researchers said. Notably, this was broken into hundreds of pieces, no doubt deliberately, according to Netzer and colleagues.

Jewish rebels apparently destroyed the monument in the years 66-72 during the first Jewish revolt against the Romans, Netzer said. That is when rebels took over the site, according to the contemporary historian Josephus, who also led that uprising. The rebels were known for their hatred of Herod and all he stood for, as what they saw as a puppet ruler for the Romans, though Herod saw himself as a Jew.

Josephus described Herod’s funeral as magnificent, writing: “The bier was of solid gold, studded with precious stones, and had a covering of purple, embroidered with various colors; on this lay the body enveloped in purple robe, a diadem encircling the head and surmounted by a crown of gold, the scepter beside his right hand.”

Flower Power

Zinnias are very hardy, multi-colored flowers. Excellent for cut flowers and arrangements, zinnias originated in Mexico. But they have found their way into Mount Michael’s garden, even if they have to hold their own among the sprawling vegetable plants that thrive there as well.

Over the years of gardening, I have always enjoyed arranging the flower beds at Mount Michael. And as time allowed me to expand the vegetable garden, I began to understand that flowers don’t necessarily have to be confined to there own space. More research provided me with the understanding that some vegetables will flourish better, if they have the companionship of flowers. And of course flowers attract bees, butterflies and other insects that are good for vegetables. Flowers and vegetables do, indeed, get on well with one another.

Although there are lots of flowers that are edible, their purpose for being where they are at Mount Michael is primarily just to be. They are perhaps more ascetical than they are practical. But over the last few years, I have realized that my flowers can also be productive and beneficial as well – perhaps equally as much as the vegetables, maybe more so.

Over the years I have connected with a few florists and invited them to use some of my flowers for arrangements in their shops. To a certain extent this worked rather well, but when our country started feeling the crunch of the economy, flowers became an “extra” that most people could do without.

This past summer, I worked with a professional to do the flowers arrangements for a wedding. Together we provided the flowers for the church, St. Cecilia’s in Omaha and the arrangements for the tables at the Reception Hall—Parker Hall at Creighton Unveristy. Some of the arrangements can be found here on my blog. Another opportunity like this would be most welcome.
Wedding Arrangments - Winter Arrangments

For this coming summer, at the suggestion of numerous individuals, I would like to extend an invitation for people to come out to Mount Michael and cut their own flowers. Yes, I am actually allowing people to come into my garden, even when I am not there to cut their own flowers. I will be providing a way for people to be honest about what they cut and make a contribution to Mount Michael. I would ask that people not be tempted to pick vegetables, but could certainly cut flowers for their own occasions and use. I would also like to emphasize that the Farmer’s Market will be open as early as possible and veggies and flowers will be for sale on those days as well, Saturdays.

Lastly, over the past three years I have planted lots of wild flowers. Although some wild flowers, as cut flowers, may not have the same longevity of life, they are certainly beautiful as well. They, too, attract many butterflies and are just beautiful to observe. I am sure God would want Mount Michael to share the beauty of these flowers with others.

Make plans now, during our long days of drab, colorlessness of winter to come out to Mount Michael and enjoy our beauty, color and gardens. You can even help us continue to keep the place operating by your contributions. We look forward to seeing you this summer.

Photo-A-Day #2369

Today when I came home from work Allison’s parents were at the house. They are staying with us for a few days as they are up from Florida for a mini vacation to visit with the family. They arrived last night after I had left for work and Eva was so excited to have them come and stay with us. So when I got home we had a small party with Halloween themed chocolate donuts with orange sprinkles on them. Then I got some rest before more family members arrived for lunch. Today would be a day full of visits, good food and laughter.

When I woke up I went out to sweep the back patio and found that Grandpa Dano did it while I was asleep. Then I went to mow the lawn before Great Grandpa Bob, Great Grandma Jackie and Great Grandma Eva arrived. As I walked out the door they pulled up. I’d mow later. Grandpa Bob pulled a Disney Princess bicycle out of the back of their minivan. Helmet in hand he brought it to Eva. She was so excited. We put on her helmet and then Eva and I rode around the backyard. I held the seat or the handlebars and pushed her around the yard. She got a big kick out of this activity so I think that she is over the bicycle debacle earlier this week.

We had a delicious Irish Stew for lunch. Eva entertained us throughout the meal and afterwards she opened some presents and we had some Apple Crisp and ice cream. We also showed the grandparents and great-grandparents Eva’s dance recital DVD. It was so funny to see that again. Eva was so cute.

Mimi and Dano, Great-Grandma Eva and Allison made a bunch of Swedish Meatballs for dinner and to freeze for meals for when the baby arrives. Our dishwasher and kitchen sink was going most of the day. Tomorrow Mimi and Dano are going to make Stromboli and baguettes.

Great-Grandpa Bob, Great-Grandma Jackie and Great-Grandma Eva headed home and Eva introduced Mimi and Dano to How To Train Your Dragon. I mowed the lawn and found a hole dug from under the wall next door. It was right at the spot where the little garden fair lives. Whatever dug the hole got into the yard and knocked it over. I filled the hole back in and continued to work on the lawn. Later Dano found a full sized power bar on the front steps. Strange. Very Strange.

Our friend Aunt Dot came down for dinner and we enjoyed those Swedish meatballs and then we enjoyed a birthday cake for Eva’s birthday. We had a very nice day and it kicked off Eva’s birthday week.

 Building Instructions for Elevated Dog Bed
 Tips if you are having a large group make the beds
-not everyone is use to using a drill, tell everyone to stop drilling when the screw is flush with the cloth, we ended up having some stripped entries from folks who were continuing to drill once the screw was as embedded as possible
-you will make a better bed if you have 2 people working together, one to fold and hold, one to drill, we had folks attempting to fold and screw by themselves and the
results are not as tight and neat as if you have 2 people.  It is critical to get the corners neat and tight or, as we have found, the dogs will chew on anything they
can grip.  In the shelters, this pvc and cloth are the most chewable thing, and they will try to chew it.

1   Using a corner piece, put one short and one long pipe into 2 of the 3 holes

 2 Once the frame is built, use a hammer to on each corner to firmly hit each side to force the legs into the corner pieces,
    don't worry about hitting too hard, the pvc is strong

3  Insert 4 legs into holes, turn bed over and hit the top of each corner 1-2 times to be sure legs are in as far/tight as they can be
         --no picture for this

 4  Lay the cloth on a flat surface and lay the frame on top, with legs pointing up, center frame on cloth

5  Fold cloth corners under frame, be sure to keep frame centered on cloth when doing this
      (note:  fold of cloth, 2nd picture, should be centered just inside of corner piece)

6  Take one long side of cloth and make 2 one-half inch-ish folds, the material should hit the center of the pvc on the bottom side
    of the frame

7  Place one screw in the mid point of the PVC and screw the cloth to the PVC.
    Be sure that the screw goes thru the folds of the cloth

8  Place screws evenly spaced on each leg,
     (5 screws, short side of small bed, 6 screws for long side)
     (6 screws for short side of large bed, 8 screws for long side of bed)

  Screw one screw to the opposite side of the frame then use channel locks to tighten plastic frame, which will tighten cloth
    important:  do not use channel locks on top of cloth, it will tear it, tighten so cloth is taught, screw in rest of screws

Important Note (July 3, 2008)
Be sure to place 2 screws on the bottom of 2 opposite corners so they hold the legs and stop them from turning under the weight of the dog on the bed.
We didn't do this on earlier beds and the weight of the dogs makes the legs turn which causes puckering of cloth, which is an invitation to CHEW !  These screws should be the last thing you do.

10  Finish putting in screws for opposite leg, repeat steps for other sides of bed
     If the frame doesn't sit square on the floor, put the frame on its side, legs facing you and twist the legs a bit

11  On the top side of the bed, place 5 screws thru the cloth and into the corner of the pvc corner piece, this serves 2 purposes
    1 keeps the cloth from being chewed
    2 keeps the side frame pieces from turning
    Be sure the end screws are near the end of the corner piece so they also pierce the side frame pieces and keep them from turning,
    if these screws do not pierce the side frame pieces, the weight of the dog will eventually turn the pvc and the cloth will
    pucker, which leads to chewing, or they will laying in a hammock like bed that will touch the ground

      1    2       3

           You can't use too many screws on the corners.  The corners are the point most likely chewed so extra reinforcement is best.
           Picture 2 is best as the screws will be a deterrent to start chewing.  Picture 3 shows screws inserted too far from the edge.
           Be sure to have volunteers place screws as close to edge of the cloth as they can..

 Assemble the peaces as follows (dont use glue at first)
  1. Connect the Bed Heads to the elbows.
  2. Place the connector peaces in the other end of the elbows.
  3. Connect the Bed Rails to the center hole of the Tees.
  4. Lay the Bed Rails with Tees on the floor.  Connect the Bed Head connectors to the top of each Tee of the Bed Rails.  At this point you should have a frame.

Please visit our new athletics website,

Feb. 17 - BETHANY, W.Va. – The Bethany College women’s basketball team will complete its most successful regular season since 2008-09 Saturday with a road game at Saint Vincent. Tip-off in Latrobe, Pa., is scheduled for 4 p.m.

The Bison (15-9, 11-6) picked up a critical win Wednesday by defeating Westminster 63-56. Not only did BC equal its highest win total since going 15-12 three seasons ago, it also clinched the #4 seed and a first round home game in next week’s PAC Tournament. Trailing by four with less than six minutes to play, Bethany went on a 12-3 run, spurred on by a pair of threes from senior Renee Shepherd (New Martinsville, W.Va./Magnolia) and one each from seniors Audra Droginske (Wheeling, W.Va./Wheeling Central) and Anne Wilson (Saegertown, Pa./Cambridge Springs), to take the lead for good and go on to the victory.

Five Bison finished the game with 10 or more points, highlighted by four seniors. Wilson, who has averaged 19.5 points in the last two games, hit for a team-best 16, while Droginske tallied 12 points and passed off a season-high seven assists. Shepherd’s big triples helped her post 11 points and senior forward Katelynn Hackathorn (Wheeling, W.Va./Wheeling Park) nearly had a double-double with 10 markers and nine boards. Hackathorn also gave out three assists, just one game after supplying a career-high five helpers in BC’s victory at Thiel.

Due to the win Wednesday, Saturday’s game will not affect the Bison’s standing in next week’s PAC Tournament. The Green and White are locked in at the #4 seed and will get another match-up with Westminster, who is set as the #5 seed, Tuesday at 6 p.m. This game does carry significance for Saint Vincent, who needs a win to secure the #2 seed for the playoffs. A Bearcat loss, coupled with a Waynesburg victory at home against Washington & Jefferson, would drop SVC into the #3 spot.
Saint Vincent will take that second seed with a repeat performance from its first game with Bethany. Back on Jan. 20th, SVC shot 50 percent, while the Bison made only 29 percent from the floor in a 70-45 Bearcat victory. Scoring 15 points to lead Saint Vincent was Devin McGrath and Brittany Sedlock recorded a double-double with 14 points and 12 boards. Bethany’s efforts were paced by Wilson and Hackathorn with 10 each.

The Bearcats (19-5, 14-3) missed a chance to potentially claim the top seed for the Tournament on Wednesday. Saint Vincent battled Thomas More down to the wire but came up short in a 68-59 setback, which clinched the #1 seed and hosting rights throughout the conference tournament for the Saints. Sedlock had a monster game with 26 points and despite forcing 23 TMC turnovers, Saint Vincent was out-rebounded 45-33 and could not make up a 24-5 difference in points fro the foul line.

An opponents’ high turnover total is expected when playing Saint Vincent, who is forcing a PAC-high 22.1 miscues a game and have harassed foes into 25 or more turnovers in eight contests. McGrath leads the Bearcats’ thieving efforts with a league-leading 3.17 steals per game and guard Melissa Mansur is third with 2.42. As a result, SVC is second in the PAC in points allowed at 55.6, while also averaging 70.5 on the offensive end. Sedlock, the defending conference Player of the Year, is having another outstanding season, as she leads the league in scoring (16.1) and rebounding (9.7). In addition to her work on the defensive end, McGrath is also posting 12.3 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.75 assists per game.

Fans that can not make the trip to Saint Vincent for the games can follow the action live from their home computer. Both the women’s and men’s games on Saturday will be video streamed live as the “Games of the Week” by the PAC Sports Network at .

Imprint Friday: Above All Things by Tanis Rideout

Welcome to Imprint Friday and today's featured imprint: Amy Einhorn Books. Stop by each week to be introduced to a must-read title from one of my favorite imprints. I know you'll be adding many of these books to your wish list.

I know I'm not alone in my fascination with Mount Everest. Long before Jon Krakauer brought the power of the mountain to life in his riveting Into Thin Air (1996), I followed news of the climbers each spring. Then in 1999 the world once again remembered the 1924 expedition to conquer earth's tallest peak when the body of George Mallory was found by a climbing team. The question remains, however: Was Mallory the first known person to have stood at the top of the world?

In Above All Things, Tanis Rideout takes us up the mountain with George Mallory, not only re-creating that tragic adventure but letting us see something of the private life of the man behind the myth through his own thoughts and through the eyes of his wife, Ruth, who remained in England with their children, waiting for news from across the globe.

Here's the publisher's summary:

Tell me the story of Everest,” she said, a fervent smile sweeping across her face, creasing the corners of her eyes. “Tell me about this mountain that’s stealing you away from me.”

In 1924 George Mallory departs on his third expedition to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Left behind in Cambridge, George’s young wife, Ruth, along with the rest of a war-ravaged England, anticipates news they hope will reclaim some of the empire’s faded glory. Through alternating narratives, what emerges is a beautifully rendered story of love torn apart by obsession and the need for redemption.
Tanis Rideout bases her story of Mallory's last trip to Everest on solid research, filling in the details to create a historical novel that is difficult to put down. As Rideout herself says (see the video embedded below), in essence the Mallorys' story is almost a love triangle. No matter how deep his passion for Ruth, George could not walk away from the pull of the mountain. And no matter how proud and supportive Ruth was, she still wished her husband home with her.

Although I was interested in the day we spend with Ruth, the time on the mountain that held my attention more. It's difficult to conceive of what the climbers went through. Remember, they had no modern equipment, no subzero special clothing, no accurate weather reports, no GPS, and no previously successful route to follow. Few people would have had the determination and bravery of Mallory and Irvine.

Rideout's descriptions of the men's last push to the top is particularly emotional. She perfectly captures the internal debate between wanting to stay alive and the feeling that success can be had with only a bit more effort. Two hours behind schedule and knowing that they would have to return to camp in the dark, Mallory and Irvine made decisions that were based on a multitude of factors.

We still don't know the truth of Mallory's success (his camera has not yet been found), but Rideout's version is one that I'd like to believe. She presents those last harrowing hours in vivid detail but mixes the drama with respect for men who died on that windswept peak. Tanis Rideout's account of the 1924 expedition to the top of Mount Everest will likely be with me for years to come.

In the following video, author Tanis Rideout discusses Above All Things and Mallory and Ruth's relationship.

How did I miss this Amy Einhorn book? I'm adding it to my list!

Jenn's Bookshelves 2/15/13, 8:15 AM

I started reading this while stuck in Rhode Island due to the blizzard...then realized I couldn't deal with more cold & snow. I definitely plan on picking it up again here shortly!

Beth Hoffman 2/15/13, 9:39 AM

“Tell me about this mountain that’s stealing you away from me.”

I'm fascinated! This sounds like a gripping and wonderful and heartbreaking story.

Heather 2/15/13, 11:19 AM

I wasn't aware of this book. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Zibilee 2/15/13, 12:17 PM

I have never read a book about Everest, but this one captures my attention, because the story is told from two different angles in order to give a complete picture. I think I will like this one, so I will be looking for it!

Daryl 2/15/13, 12:23 PM

sounds like a good read.. thanks!

Sandy Nawrot 2/15/13, 2:02 PM

I'll echo Kathy, I am wondering how I missed this. If it is Amy Einhorn, then pretty much that guarantees that it is a good book. But one about Everest? *scurrying off to find*

Shannon (Giraffe Days) 2/15/13, 10:14 PM

I read this last year and really enjoyed it - in fact it made my top ten! And I'm not particularly interested in mountain climbing or Everest, but the story - especially George's - was so vivid I could feel the cold etc., and their internal drive to finish it was so real I could practically taste it.

Glad to see another great Canadian book being picked up internationally!

Julie P. 2/16/13, 8:30 PM

Just checked and I do have this one -- looks fantastic!

City 10-3 to beat Black Cats by two

Live on Sky Sports 2: Sat 12:45. Man City (2/7 Hills) host Sunderland (14/1 Stan James) in Saturday’s early kick off. Sam Tomlinson previews the match.

As Manchester City are champions, on paper today’s trip to the Etihad Stadium should be Sunderland’s toughest fixture of the season and the odds reflect the scale of the task facing Martin O’Neill’s side, StanJames pricing the Black Cats at a massive 14/1 to cause what would be considered a huge upset.

City are odds-on at 2/7 with William Hill to secure all three points and that’s a price that will be included in many accumulators but Sunderland supporters will recall the corresponding fixture last season when their side were unfortunate to only come away with a point and Betvictor make them 5/1 to grab a share of the spoils on this occasion as well.

Of course a repeat of the 3-3 scoreline looks a touch ambitious at 80/1 (Ladbrokes) but some punters might fancy Betfred’s 10/1 for it to finish one-each, especially as the Black Cats have racked up plenty of draws this term.

As huge underdogs, O’Neill’s charges are given assistance in the handicaps; BetVictor hand them a goal start at 2/1 and with bet365, Sunderland kick-off with a two-goal cushion at odds of 10/11.

Nevertheless, the most likely outcome would appear to be a comfortable win for City who have proved pretty much invincible at home for the past few seasons. Ladbrokes have the best price about the Blues winning by two goals at 10/3 whilst Skybet quote them at 7/4 to win by three or more.

Despite Joe Hart’s heroics so far this term, his back four seem incapable of keeping a clean sheet and both teams to score looks worth a punt at 7/5 with Stan James along with bet365’s offer of 8/13 about a match tally of more than 2.5 goals.

William Hill mark both Carlos Tevez and Sergio Aguero at 7/2 to score first with Mario Balotelli 4/1. Steven Fletcher, meanwhile is 12/1 at Paddy Power to get the shock waves going and break the deadlock for the visitors.

Osmo launches kids' hydration mix at Outdoor Retailer

Published August 7, 2014

FAIRFAX, Calif. (BRAIN) — Osmo Nutrition is introducing an organic kids' hydration mix at the Outdoor Retailer trade show in Salt Lake City this week.

The Awesome Orange hydration formula was specifically designed for youngsters, with less sodium and potassium than Osmo's adult formula. The drink still has a carbohydrate solution designed for the most effective fluid uptake. The flavoring and color come from organic freeze-dried fruit, and organic tangerine essence to "punch up" the flavor for kid's palates. There are no fillers or flow agents.

"Being a scientist, and knowing the influences of hydration on health, I am very concerned about the impact severe dehydration has on children around the world," said Dr. Stacy Sims, co-founder of Osmo Nutrition.

"So when I became a mom, my focus on performance hydration became a passion for finding the best hydration solution for my daughter and all children. I developed the kids formula to meet the specific physiology and needs of sweaty and active kids of all ages, be it for sports, for general thirst, as opposed to diluting juice or other sports drinks, and even as an electrolyte replacement for when our kids are ill."

The mix will retail for $1.99 for a single serving packet or $39.99 for a box of 24 packets.

Jimmy Casper in October before the start of the 2012 Paris-Tours one-day Classic. (James Startt)
This is my last Jimmy Casper story.

I’ve been writing about Jimmy for 15 years, and I’ve written about Jimmy in all his guises. I’ve written about Jimmy Casper the promising neo-pro, the little sprinter who upstaged the world’s finest. I’ve written about Jimmy Casper the flagging sprinter who struggled to get over the mountains of the Tour de France. Jimmy Casper the aging sprinter who rebranded himself a second-division star. I’ve written about Jimmy Casper the lanterne rouge.

I won’t be writing about Jimmy any more, for after 15 years in the pro ranks it appears he has come to the end. With no contract for 2013, Jimmy Casper is facing retirement.

But Casper doesn’t want to retire. Still, at 35, the Frenchman finished the 2012 season without a victory, and his Ag2r–La Mondiale team said it would not renew his contract. As Casper has made the rounds with most every French team around, the options for next season have run out.

Casper turned pro with Française des Jeux in 1998 after racing for less than year as an amateur. Many believed he would be France’s next great sprinter, which meant something in country with a shortage of sprinters. Built like a bulldog, Casper would never be confused for anything but a sprinter.

For a while it looked as if Casper would live up to expectations, especially after the second-year pro pipped German star Eric Zabel for four stage wins in the 1999 Tour of Germany. That success, of course, brought greater expectations; but in the ’99 Tour de France Casper struggled to finish in the top 10 in the field sprints.

“The pressure that gets placed on a young French rider as soon as he gets any results is incredible,” Casper said in October before the start of Paris-Tours.

“It’s one thing to beat Zabel in the Tour of Germany where we were pretty much the only sprinters in the race; it’s quite another to beat Zabel and Cipollini and all the others with their big leadout trains in the Tour.”

While sometimes I have written about the fledgling sprinter aspiring to beat the big boys at their own game, more often I wrote about Casper the non-climber who struggled over the Alps and Pyrenees under the daily threat of the Tour de France’s time cut, the percentage of the winning time that all riders must finish within.

Conversation in the press car often took up the chances of Casper in the early kilometers of a mountain stage. No other sprinter garnered so much attention on a mountain day. Samuel Abt, the cycling journalist and my traveling companion on the Tour for many years, and I reveled in the many scenarios that could befall Jimmy as the road climbed. Would he be penalized for grabbing onto a team car for a tow? Could he even hope to make it through the day?

Jimmy’s rivals complained that he took tows from the team cars, or at least more than they did. To this day Casper denies wrongdoing.

“I never took an illegal tow in the Tour de France,” he said. “No way—not in the Tour!

“I specify, not in the Tour!” he said with a wink.

For me, Jimmy was never as good as when he was battling for the lanterne rouge honor awarded to the last-place rider of the Tour de France. Twice he succeeded in finishing last, yet he still laments his failed bid to set a lanterne rouge record.

In the 2008 Tour, Casper was locked in a fierce competition for last with another two-time laureate, Belgium’s Wim Vansevenant. Both men desperately wanted to become the first three-time lanterne rouge. As usual, Casper lost massive time each mountain stage. On the legendary climb of Alpe d’Huez, his tactics failed him and he finished outside the time cut. He finished the stage anyway, hoping for a pardon from the race officials, but they were unforgiving. Casper was disqualified.

Casper still maintains that the dubious lanterne rouge record was within his grasp, that he had chances in other years. But in Vansevenant he ran up against an unrelenting rival. “Wim always had one last card to play,” Casper said. “On the last stage on the Champs-Élysées, he could always sit up before the finish and lose an extra minute or two. But I was a sprinter; I couldn’t do that. I had to contest the sprint.”

Vansevenant won the lanterne rouge award three times—2006, 2007, 2008—and is the record-holder.

Casper, of course, produced other memorable performances. None was greater than the day he won a stage of the Tour de France, upsetting the world’s fastest men on Stage 1 in 2006.

While Tour glory came too late for Casper, he did live a brief renaissance after signing with Saur-Sojasun in 2009. Since the team was not part of the WorldTour, it wasn’t guaranteed an invitation to race in the Tour de France, so it concentrated on the smaller French Cup races. Casper excelled in those, winning the overall title. “The Saur-Sojasun years were the years I enjoyed most,” he said.

With six victories on Saur in 2011, Casper wanted back in the WorldTour, and he signed with Ag2r for 2012. It proved to be a poor career move; he failed to produce a single victory.

“Jimmy was a big disappointment,” said Vincent Lavenu, Ag2r’s general manager. “He was paid well—very well—and he did nothing.”

Casper agreed: “I just never clicked with this team,” he said. “It never worked for me.”

He raced this fall’s Paris-Tours hoping to salvage his season with a strong performance, but he knows that his 41st place, behind winner Marco Marcato, would turn few heads among pro teams still recruiting.

“I may be 35 but I don’t feel like I’m done,” Casper said. “I still have the desire to train hard and race. But the problem is that most people think a 35-year-old sprinter with no victories is finished.”

Casper will keep looking for a team, at least until December 31. But he’s realistic. He understands that the Jimmy Casper story, at least that of a professional cyclist, is coming to an end.

any weekday afternoon group rides in central SD (La Mesa/SDSU)?

Anybody know of any open groups or wanna start up a group? Can't do mornings, can't do weekends. Tu/Th or Mon/Wed/Fri? 1-2 hours?

I'm at Lake Murray. I usually spin around El Cajon, or down to Sweetwater Reservoir, or sometimes to the beach and back.

Mein Auto: 525i
525i BIG problems!

My son ran my 2003 525i without coolant. He then ran the car into the curb.

A "friend of a friend of a friend" who works part time as a mechanic for the local BMW dealership looked at the car.

His opinions:

- Blown cylinder head gasket -
- Possible warped cylinder head -
- Ruptured radiator overflow tank -
- Bent lower control arm -
- (Also, broken rear tail light assembly) -

He estimated the cost of private repair to be at least $3500 ... possibly much more.

He then offered to buy my car for $500.

Does this sound on target to you?

Would REALLY appreciate any thoughts / suggestions.

What ever gauge cluster you get you will need to take the electrical board off of your orginal and install it on the new cluster, then reinstall back into the dash.
All of you KOMBI information will be retained and no programming needed.
hope this helps

01 740i - multiplicative catalyst limit reached?

2001 740I, 142000 miles on the speedo. check engine light came on, scanned codes and found "multiplicative catalyst mixture adaptation control limit reached" plus MPG was down so replaced front sensors. car ran great and smoother but now a week later check engine light is back on with same codes. looked at the data stream and all sensors are responding as good sensors with voltage sweeping from .2 to .9 volts. any ideas?

I've just changed my wiper blades and now my reverse lights don't work. Should I change my fuel pump relay?

Have you scanned the car using INPA? If yes, could you post the freeze screen's, I would like to compare with mine. Is this the only code? What is the 4 digit format? You might have a vacuum leak, and the DME cannot compensate anymore with gas, in order to have a good mixture for the cat converters. For instance I am fighting a vacuum leak and I have a code for the vacuum leak and also INPA is giving me the mult. catalyst reached.
