Ex-Vandy players plea not guilty to rape
NASHVILLE — Four former Vanderbilt football players pleaded not guilty to raping an unconscious woman at a campus dorm.
Cory Batey, 19 of Nashville; Brandon Banks, 19, of Brandywine, Md.; Jaborian McKenzie, 19, of Woodville, Miss.; and Brandon Vandenburg, 20, of Indio, Calif., pleaded not guilty to five counts of rape and two counts of aggravated sexual battery.

It is hard to fathom that five years ago on this date in 2012, the beloved One Life to Live aired its final episode on ABC after being cancelled by the network along with All My Children in 2011. One Life debuted on ABC in 1968, a creation of the late and iconic Agnes Nixon who passed away late in 2016.
After over 43 years, when the series was canned along with AMC, that sweeping move still today has shaken the soap genre to its core. Then after stalled attempts at an online rebirth, One Life was given a new life to live online on April 29, 2013 via one season on Hulu via Prospect Park. Now after a long litigation, the rights to the series are back with ABC.
The final episode of ABC's One Life to Live ended with a rousing cliffhanger between Alison Perkins (Barbara Garrick) revealing she had tied up and kidnapped Victor Lord Jr. (Trevor St. John) who is very much alive, just as his brother Todd (Roger Howarth) is arrested for his "murder". The amazing final run and final episodes were brilliantly executed and written by then OLTL head writer Ron Carlivati and his stellar writing team.
After the jump, watch the final ABC episode of One Life to Live that originally aired five years ago today. Then share your thoughts and memories of the soap in the comment section below.

Temperature rising: Deja vu in De Doorns
- Rebecca Davis & Kate Stegeman
- South Africa
- 10 Jan 2013 (South Africa)
On Wednesday, farmworkers in the Hex River Valley resumed their strike for a higher daily wage in the face of continued protestations from farmers that they cannot meet their demands of R150 per day. While as few as 20% of permanent workers were estimated to be on strike in some areas, in the former strike epicentre of De Doorns, there were eerie echoes of November's chaos. By REBECCA DAVIS and KATE STEGEMAN.
At 7.30am in the small farming town of De Doorns, all was quiet. The broken windows of a shop looted in the last wave of strike action were the only visible testament to the unrest that rocked the region late last year. A small group of farmers chatting together across from the police station made dark jokes about the strikers' demands. "If you pay them R150 a day they'll make more than you!" one laughed to another. None of them would be named.
"Look at his bakkie," one said, slapping the battered frame of his friend's single-cab vehicle. "We're not rich farmers! If we have to raise wages like that, I promise you, there will be at least 70% job losses come winter time, when there's no work."
Promises that Wednesday's resumed strike action would be peaceful always seemed unlikely. If anything, the stakes for farmworkers are now higher than in November: January is traditionally a financially-straitened month, with parents facing the additional costs attached to the start of the new school year. Furthermore, the complexity of the winelands labour dispute was starkly illustrated by a report released on Tuesday by the Bureau for Food and Agricultural Policy, a think tank attached to the University of Pretoria.

The report found that farmers would not be able to pay more than R104 a day without having to implement greater mechanisation on their farms, at the possible expense of jobs. An increase to R150 a day, the report found, would cause food prices to rise, raise labour costs for the top 10 agricultural industries by R3,5 billion, and possibly effect the closure of many farms.
But the flipside finding of the report was that even if the farmworkers were granted their demanded wage of R150 a day, that would still not be enough to ensure a nutritionally-adequate diet. "Even at what seems to be an unaffordable minimum wage of R150 per day, most households cannot provide the nutrition that is needed to make them food secure," the report concluded.
On the one hand, then, we have farmworkers who are clearly being paid too little. On the other hand, we have farmers who maintain that to substantially raise wages will scupper the viability of their farms and destroy much-needed jobs for the farmworkers themselves. But the hostility between the two sides is heightened by the fact that farmworkers simply do not believe this to be true: pretty much across the board, it seems that farmers are believed to live lives of enormous ease and affluence.

In De Doorns East, an informal settlement just outside the town, a small crowd slowly gathered in a stadium. Organisers from Bawusa, the Bawsi Agricultural Workers Union, set up a PA system to play music. The mood was initially calm, even festive. But a hint as to the skittishness of the crowd was felt mid-morning, when four police Casspirs suddenly roared into life, perhaps prompted by some unseen threat, and sped up the road into the informal settlement. The response of the crowd was instantaneous: to scatter sprinting in the opposite direction, despite organisers' pleas for calm. The mood was broken, and from here matters became progressively more volatile over the next hours.
"These farmers are talking bullshit," said a 25-year-old Bawusa member, who declined to be named. "These farmers are driving bakkies that cost half a million rand. All these years these people are getting away with it. Now with the negotiations they have lawyers, consultants, everything. Farmworkers have nothing."

Yoga Govender, who has been working on a local grape farm for 25 years, said that he was not a union member, but he was striking for higher wages. "We earn R80 per day, and we pay R100 per fortnight for accommodation on the farm plus R80 per week for lights," he said. "When we get paid today, we have to take loans tomorrow. Their children are in top-notch schools. After every season the farmers buy two trucks. They told us yesterday, if you don't come to work, your bonuses are gone. I said, our bonuses are important but so are our families' lives!"
Govender said he saw the way out of the dispute as fairly straightforward. "If other workers will stand with us, grapes will start to rot on the vine. Then I guarantee they will give us the R150."
Kevin January, 49, a seasonal worker on a variety of local farms, also gets paid R80 per day. Like Govender, he was adamant that the farmworkers would not back down from their demands. "We will intensify the strike," he said.
From the vantage point of a bridge nearby, strikers began to throw rocks at the police stationed below. The crowd cheered them on.
Betty Fortuin, a 50-year-old who has been working on farms since she was 13, told the story of being evicted from a farm because she asked if she could bring her late brother's orphaned children to live with her. She, too, earned R80. "It's fokol!" she yelled. "Did you see on TV how expensive the stationery is for school?"
Fortuin echoed Govender's prediction almost word for word. "If we all stick together, their grapes will be raisins and they will give us our R150!"

None of the striking farmworkers we spoke to seemed aware that Agri Wes-Kaap's counter offer of a sectoral minimum wage raise on behalf of farmers was just R85 per day, according to Agri Wes-Kaap president Cornie Swart. Swart told the Daily Maverick that even this marginal raise would cause financial difficulties, particularly in the table grape industry.
"A lot of farmers will still need to scale down and mechanise," he said. "We would estimate that there will be the loss of around 200,000 jobs in the Western Cape, unfortunately."
Back in De Doorns, the atmosphere had turned more hostile by noon. Rocks were thrown at passing fruit trucks, with calls from the crowds to burn them. Private vehicles and taxis subsequently also became targets. Police responded with fusillades of rubber bullets, sending protestors scattering for cover. Some huddled behind journalists' cars. With police unable to hold back strikers, rocks were hurled on to the N1 and tyres burned to render the motorway impassable.
The arrival of Bawusa general secretary Nosey Pieterse initially seemed to hold the promise of calming the situation: he seems to have developed something of a cult of personality in certain quarters. In what he later claimed to the Daily Maverick was an attempt to defuse the situation, Pieterse led the crowd out of the stadium in what was intended to be a march through the farms. But the resulting scenes were chaotic, with the police attempting to control matters from the front with further rubber bullet fire, causing the crowd to periodically stampede backwards in an attempt to escape.

Pieterse's account paints the strikers as blameless. "We were marching peacefully and without provocation when police jumped out backwards and started shooting," he told the Daily Maverick. Pieterse himself received a rubber bullet in his arm, and rolled up his sleeve to display the injury. "I could not control the crowd after that. They were too angry. We tried to get people back to the stadium, but it was very difficult."
In the ensuing chaos, two Cape Times journalists found themselves in the crossfire. An NGO worker who witnessed the event told us that the angry crowd was attempting to reach a police van, and were impatient about the presence of an Independent Newspapers car in their path. "They circled the car and were banging the windows and rocking it," the eyewitness said. When Xolani Koyana and an intern got out of the car, they were reportedly assaulted, but bystanders were able to get them away to a local priest's house. The car was subsequently overturned and torched.
The hostility towards journalists was not limited to this event: several others were threatened. In a later incident, when the crowd had returned to the stadium, another eyewitness told us that there was a moment when a number of strikers seemed about to turn on a lone photographer, until Nosey Pieterse instructed the crowd that journalists were essential to tell their story. The source of this antipathy towards the media is unclear, although a number of farmworkers told us that they felt the violent actions of strikers was always highlighted on news reports without commensurate attention paid to the violence of the police.
Pieterse says it isn't surprising that the crowd was so angry. "Nobody talks about the intimidation of striking workers by the police, only the intimidation of non-striking workers." Throughout our conversation with Pieterse, a police helicopter circled relentlessly overhead, certainly heightening the tension of the atmosphere.

"Farmers have made it clear that they are not interested in collective bargaining," Pieterse said. "We must force farmers to the table by getting more people out. We appeal to all farmworkers not to allow themselves to be intimidated."
Where, we asked, was Cosatu's Tony Ehrenreich? "Maybe he will be here tomorrow and I won't", replied Pieterse. He chuckled. "Me and Tony, we're the terrible twins!"
Carmen Louw, from the NGO Women On Farms, said that despite Pieterse's apparent hold on the crowd, most people present were not unionised. This was backed up by our conversations with a number of strikers. We asked Ester Krotz, 51, a farmworker for 36 years, if she was a member of a union. "Yes!" she replied immediately. Which one? "The ANC," she said.

Louw said that she believed the action at De Doorns would continue at least till Friday. We left the scene in a convoy with other journalists with the only escort who could guarantee our safety: Nosey Pieterse, driving a BMW 4x4. As we departed, police appeared to be entering the informal settlement on foot, and the crackle of rubber bullet fire continued.
But the poignancy of the De Doorns unrest lies not just in the apparent intransigence of the dispute, but also in the form of those caught up in it against their will. Raymond Kipido, 19, was standing quietly apart from the crowd with his friends Matthew December, 19, and Luckson Mooin, 19. The three stood out because they were wearing collared shirts and ties: they had just been to church, they explained. All three De Doorns locals are students at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, studying Mechanical Engineering, Mathematical Technology and Chemical Engineering respectively.

The parents of all three are farmworkers, who were staying away from work that day because - their sons said - they had been intimidated into doing so. "They were intimidated by the leaders," said Kipido. But, he shrugged, "I don't know who they are."
Their parents have a pressing reason for not wanting to stay away from work at the moment, however meagre their salaries: the registration fees for all three boys at CPUT are due at various points within the next ten days. "I don't know what we are going to do," said Kipido. "Maybe I can explain to the university, if I can tell them where I live." DM

Fixed mortgage rates eased slightly this week, with lenders offering 30-year loans to solid borrowers at an average interest rate of 3.32%, down from 3.34% last week and near the record low, according to the latest Freddie Mac survey.
The big buyer and guarantor of mortgages said in the survey, released Thursday, that the average rate for a 15-year fixed mortgage edged down to 2.66% from 2.67%. The shorter-term fixed loans have proved popular this year with homeowners refinancing to retire mortgages faster.
Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country Monday through early Wednesday each week to compile its averages. The 30-year rate set an all-time low of 3.31% in the Nov. 21 report.
The rates are for borrowers with good credit and 20% down payments who would pay minimal fees and discount points to lenders -- an average of 0.7% of the 30-year loan balance in the latest survey. Third-party costs often paid by borrowers, such as for title insurance and appraisals, are not included.

Wanda Rohm of San Antonio, owner of Presto Printing and state chair of the National Federation of Independent Business, wants small businesses to know how they'd be affected by the tax overhaul moving through the Texas Legislature. She provided these worksheets ("Schedule A" and "Schedule B") to allow people to add it up for themselves.
"Every small business person needs to do this worksheet to figure out if they are better or worse off with this new tax!" she said by email.
Armed with that knowledge, she noted, they can contact their elected officials to advise them on the action they'd like to see on the legislation.
One part of the tax package, a proposed business tax expansion, already has been approved by the House and Senate and awaits action by Gov. Rick Perry.
Since several other bills are awaiting Senate action, Rohm said, "they need to get on the phone and call their senator."
The Perry-backed overhaul would raise state business and tobacco taxes and use part of the budget surplus to cut local school property taxes.

The Apple versus Samsung case has wound up in one of the more silly patent trials of the century. Samsung has acknowledged that it might have used some of Apple's patents, but Jobs Mob wanted an arm and a leg for them. Samsung lawyers said that Apple has vastly exaggerated the importance of its patented iPhone features and Apple said that Samsung should not have entered the smartphone market because it invented it.
The two tech leaders also sparred over how Google's work on the software used in Samsung phones affects Apple's patent claims. Apple and Samsung have been litigating around the world for three years. Jurors awarded the iPhone maker about $930 million after a 2012 trial in San Jose, California, but Apple failed to persuade Judge Lucy Koh to issue a permanent injunction against the sale of Samsung phones. The current case involves five Apple patents that were not in the 2012 trial and which cover iPhone features like slide to unlock and search technology. Apple is again seeking to ban sales of several Samsung phones, including the Galaxy S III, and collect $2 billion in damages.
Samsung also claims Apple violated two patents on streaming video. It is seeking to ban the iPhone 5, and asserted a $6 million damages claim. Samsung attorney William Price said some of Apple's patented technology in the case was never even incorporated into the iPhone. That undermines Cupertino, California-based Apple's claim for billions in damages. Another Samsung attorney, John Quinn, suggested that Apple devised its $2 billion request to inflate the value of the technology and confuse the jury.
But Apple attorney Harold McElhinny said Samsung's copying of Apple technology has greatly harmed the iPhone maker and turned the smartphone market into a two horse race instead of giving Apple total control, which was what nature intended. Samsung's "illegal strategy has been wildly successful," McElhinny claimed.
Apple attorney William Lee said Samsung's low damages request on its own patents was meant to cheapen intellectual property in general. The jury began deliberating yesterday and a verdict could be reached at any time.

Teleflex's Spectre Guidewire Cleared by FDA
March 15, 2017—Teleflex Incorporated announced US Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance and the United States commercial launch of the Spectre guidewire. The Spectre guidewire is intended for use in percutaneous procedures to introduce and position catheters and other interventional devices within the coronary and/or peripheral vasculature.
According to Teleflex, the 0.014-inch Spectre guidewire is available in 190- and 300-cm lengths. The device has a distal hydrophilic coating and a proximal polytetrafluoroethylene coating. The guidewire's smooth stainless steel–to-nitinol dual-core transition balances strength and agility. The Spectre was designed to be a workhorse guidewire, applicable to the majority of percutaneous coronary interventions.
The device's proximal stainless steel core combines pushability with support for optimal delivery. Additionally, the distal nitinol core is flexible and kink resistant for increased durability. The combination provides trackability and torque control, stated the company.

"He was sleeping in a Pack 'n Play with a supplemental mattress," recalls Warren mom, Joyce Davis. "And he suffocated between the side and the Pack n' Play."
Deaths and injuries like Joyce's son Garret's are the subject of the first major study of crib, playpen and bassinet accidents which found an average of 26 infants daily were injured in crib-related accidents alone.
"The study looked at a 19-year period at non fatal as well as fatal injuries," says the study's co-author Dr. Gary Smith of the Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. "And we found that 9,500 children are rushed each year to a hospital emergency department for a crib-related injury and 113 children died each year (due to crib related injuries.)"
Dr. Smith says most injuries were head or neck injures. The most likely scenario he says were children climbing and falling out of drop-side cribs.
"Cribs are unique," says Dr. Smith. "They really need to be held to a higher standard. This is the type of product where we don't expect them (parents) to stay and supervise their child. We want them to put their child in a crib and leave with piece of mind.
"Drop side cribs have been banned," says Joyce Davis. "If people see them on Craigslist or Ebay, do not buy it."
Joyce's organization, KeepingBabiesSafe.org, was instrumental in passing the new federal law and strives to spread information like: no soft bedding, bumpers, or stuffed animals in the crib. And put baby on it's back in a bare crib with just a tight fitting sheet.
That's information which could have saved her own son Garret's life had she known then, what she knows now.
"Cribs continue to be the leading cause of death among all juvenile products," says Joyce. "And no family should every have to go through what we've gone through."
Garret would be 10 years old now. And if had lived would be very proud of his mother for making sure his legacy educates others.

To view or change the modifiable properties of a full-text index
How to: View or Change the Properties of a Full-Text Index (SQL Server Management Studio)
Displays the name of the full-text catalog with which the full-text index is associated.
For a SQL Server 2008 database, a full-text catalog is a virtual object that does not belong to any filegroup; it is a logical concept that refers to a group of full-text indexes. However, when a database is upgraded from SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2000, the full-text catalog continues to reside in a filegroup.
Displays the name of the database in which the full-text index resides.
Displays the name of the table on which the full-text index is defined.
Displays the name of the full-text index key, which is a unique index on a single column of the table.
Displays the population status of the full-text indexed table.
The possible values are as follows:
0 = Idle.
1 = Full population is in progress.
2 = Incremental population is in progress.
3 = Propagation of tracked changes is in progress.
4 = Background update index is in progress, such as automatic change tracking.
5 = Full-text indexing is throttled or paused.
Indicates whether the table has an active full-text index.
1 = True
0 = False
The filegroup to which the full-text index belongs.
The stoplist that is currently associated with the full-text index. A stoplist is a list of stopwords. The stoplist associated with a full-text index, if any, is applied to full-text queries on that index. You can remove the stoplist from the index by selecting <OFF> from the list, or you can select a different stoplist; <SYSTEM> indicates the system stoplist.
To create a stoplist
How to: Create a Full-Text Stoplist (SQL Server Management Studio)
Indicates the number of rows that were full-text indexed successfully.
This property corresponds to the TableFulltextItemCount property returned by the OBJECTPROPERTYEX Transact-SQL function.
Displays the number of rows that have been processed since the start of full-text indexing. In a table that is being indexed for full-text search, all the columns of one row are considered as part of one document to be indexed. Deleted rows are not counted.
Indicates that full-text indexing is completed and there is no active population.
> 0
For an active population, indicates the number of documents processed by insert or update operations since any of the following: a population, enabling of change tracking with background update index population (such as auto change tracking), changing the full-text index schema, rebuilding the full-text catalog, restarting the instance of SQL Server, and so forth.
Number of pending change tracking entries to process.
0 = change tracking is not enabled.
NULL = Table does not have a full-text index.
The number of rows that full-text search did not index.
0 = The population has completed.
>0 = One of the following:
The number of documents that were not indexed since the start of full, incremental, or manual change tracking population.
For change tracking with background update index, the number of rows that were not indexed since the start of the population, or the restart of the population. This could be caused by a schema change, rebuild of the catalog, server restart, and so on
Specifies whether full-text indexing is enabled.
Specifies whether the table has full-text change-tracking enabled, and if so, what kind. Full-text change tracking maintains a record of the rows that have been modified in a table or indexed view that has been set up for full-text indexing. These changes can be propagated to the full-text index.
The Change Tracking values are as follows:
The full-text index is not updated with changes to the underlying data.
The full-text index is not updated automatically as changes occur to the underlying data. However, changes to the underlying data are maintained, and you can propagate them to the . full-text index either on a schedule using SQL Server Agent or manually.
The full-text index is updated automatically as changes occur to the underlying data in the base table.
Click to start a population on the full-text index on exiting the dialog box. Select one of the following types of population:
During a full population of a table, index entries are built for all the rows.
Incremental population updates the full-text index for rows added, deleted, or modified after the last population, or while the last population was in progress. Performing an incremental population requires that the base table contain a column of the timestamp data type.
The full-text index is updated whenever the data in the base table is modified.

AN Olympic athlete forced to flee his African homeland amid fears he would be executed at the hands of its military regime is hoping to start a new life on Wearside.
Steeplechaser Weynay Ghebresilasie was one of four Eritrean athletes who failed to return home after the London Olympics earlier this year.
The country, which has a population of just five million, has one of the largest armies in Africa.
Made up of soldiers forced indefinitely into national service, it is regularly branded "repressive" by human rights groups and is alleged to subject its conscripts to torture and illegal forced labour.
Weynay, who had been a soldier for 18 months, has three brothers in the army and lost a fourth in the 1998-2000 war with Ethiopia.
After walking out of the Olympic village, he threw away the sim card that had been given to him by the team's minders.
He embarked on the process of claiming asylum in the UK, spending 11 hours being interviewed by UK Border Agency staff.
Sent to a detention centre in Croydon, he later spent two weeks in Huddersfield before moving to Sunderland last month.
"Conditions back home are so harsh you have no rights and you are controlled by the state," he said. "I had no freedom even while I was in London.
"We were not treated as athletes.
"The people in charge were high-ranking army officers.
"Once you are forced into the army there is no way of getting out. If I am sent home I will be accused of treason.
"I could be executed or my life will be in danger."
Weynay, 18, said he did not plan to seek asylum before he came to the UK, hoping that circumstances back home would improve.
However, while competing at the games, he said he received similar harsh treatment by the Eritrean Federation for Sport.
Weynay said his below-par performance in the Olympics was due to mismanagement and he was also suffering from a chest infection.
He finished 10th in his heat in 8.37.57 – his best stands at 8.28.92.
"I was hoping to race to the best of my ability and maybe come close to winning a medal, so I was really disappointed," he said.
Weynay is Eritrea's leading junior athlete, finishing sixth in the 3,000m steeplechase in the World Junior Athletics Championships in Barcelona in July and 30th in the World Junior Cross Country Championships last year.
His best times are 1,500m – 3.40, 3,000m – 7.54.55 and 5,000m, 13.53.
While continuing his battle for asylum, Weynay has been welcomed into the Sunderland Harriers, which he joined as a first-claim club member.
Club secretary Michael Hill said: "Weynay has joined us for training for the last three weeks. He started out with the veterans, but he was a bit too quick for us.
"He is now training with athletes who are a bit faster. He is ever-present at the Harriers' training base at Silksworth and has been warmly welcomed by the members."
Weynay is keen to get back to competition, having not raced since the Olympics. He has been registered to UK Athletics as a foreign athlete and is free to compete.
He is expected to make his debut in the North Eastern Harrier League at Bedewell Park today, in the senior men's handicap race. It is not yet decided what pack he will run from.
If all goes well, Weynay hopes to race in the Northern Junior Cross Country Championships, in Liverpool, on January 26 and the National Cross Country Championships at Herrington Country Park, on February 23.
A UK Border Agency spokesman said: "We do not routinely comment on individual cases."

Get dining news including restaurant closures and qualify for giveaways.
I went to the restaurant recently and I have to say I was really underwhelmed. The service was quite slow and the food we decided upon was average at best. I had a tuna dish as my main, and not only was the tuna quite potent (I was always under the impression fresh tuna shouldn't be so strong), the rice was undercooked and crispy. All in all, not worth the pricey bill either.
To be honest, I think you can probably get better fish dishes at other places nearby.
This place is nice but to me it is just a classed up Guu. The food is similar although the prices are higher at Kingyo.
Nice to check out if you haven't eaten food like this but I think I'd stick to Guu overall.
I'll start off by saying that I have eaten here before and it has been average. Just OK. The last time I went there put the proverbial nail in the coffin when it comes to this restaurant.
We sat down and waited a good 5-10 minutes to be served by our disinterested server. She asked for our drink order and sensing a lack of attention we decided to order everything at once. 10 mins later the drinks show up. A further 10 mins later our server left the restaurant, "looking for chicken". That was the last we saw of her. Looking about the restaurant we saw lots of people without any service, including one server sat on a free table head down on the top looking sick. I hope he hadn't eaten there.
We left a $10 and left. Don't bother going. Just go to Maria's Taverna across the street; better food and some resemblance of service i.e. someone does it.
Overall, the food, service, and sports on the TV are fine. But I wanted to use this review to just comment on the smell in the pub. It really stinks of cooking oil, which is really offputting. I know a lot of people who used to go there don't anymore because it smells so much.
Anyway, I just wanted to make that comment. Other than that, it is a typical pub with decent food.
I have only been into Central for breakfast and overall it is pretty good. I have never had any real complaints with the food, it is always good and dependable. The service is generally good although it tends to fall down pretty fast when it gets busy. There sometimes doesn't seem to be much order in which people are running tables, and I have on several occasions not been served for up to 10-15 minutes.
Overall though, it's good. Next step: check out the dinner meals...

text: Chuck the Duck 245 Posted April 20, 2012 One of the best ways I've seen it expressed is something like this....Greatest Ever, Best ever, no one can really say this will be discussed for decades as superlatives are hard to quantify...But for Brodeur he has accomplished so much that you can take any of his stats/records and split them & the result would still be the records of two Hockey Hall-of Fame Goaltenders.Very well put. This thread, and the 100 other ones just like it that were posted as a complete overreaction to a poorly played Game 3, show why coaches/GMs at the highest levels are different from us fans. They have the ability to see the forest through the trees and can seperate the emotions of 1 game from the bigger picture. For some to openly hope that the Game 3 abomination was the last time we ever saw Brodeur in a Devils uniform is disgraceful and shows how little appreciation our fans have for anything, let alone what #30 has meant to this franchise. Fact of the matter is, most of you don't remember the bad years 1982-1986 (or weren't even born yet), and haven't known anything other than Brodeur in goal for this team. Brodeur is not what he used to be, but (for this year's playoffs) I'd still take him over any of the goalies in Washington, Ottawa, Philly, Pitt, Florida, Vancouver, Detroit, Chicago, and San Jose. Just glad he got the win (and shutout to boot) last night to make some of the people on this board eat some crow this morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Bruce Boudreau Spreads The Hockey Way Of Life
by Paul on 03/13/13 at 12:25 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Jeff Miller of the OC Register,
How skilled is Bruce Boudreau at moving men to act, this coach who has the Ducks playing at a level higher than nearly every other team in the NHL?
Boudreau's words helped inspire Cazalis, a Frenchman who grew up playing rugby, a math teacher who rarely had been on skates, a man who knew ice hockey only from the Olympics, to take up an endeavor that now has him blissfully face-planting Plexiglas.
Back when the NHL was stagnating under a labor dispute, Boudreau was still admirably growing the game, growing it at the very tips of the roots, where the novices and dry-landers reside.
"He takes his role as an ambassador of the game very seriously," says Jason Cooper, the Ducks' fan development coordinator. "He really wants to support the game, especially in a non-traditional market. His comment was sort of flippant, but it landed."
In mid-October, when he was in demand only because the NHL was out of order, Boudreau was invited to the team's annual S.C.O.R.E. orientation at Honda Center. The program uses hockey to teach lesson plans and encourage healthy living at local schools.

Smoke from the roughly 137 wildfires burning in the Northwest Territories is travelling as far away as southern Saskatchewan and Churchill, Man., in the worst fire season many in the territory can remember.
The smoke is also reaching North and South Dakota, according to The Associated Press.
"The drought conditions that we're seeing and the fire behaviour that we're seeing is something we haven't seen, as I said, in about 30 years," Bill Mawdsley, who's in charge of forest management for the N.W.T. Department of Environment and Natural Resources, told the CBC on Tuesday.
Highway 1 — Yellowknife's primary road connection to the rest of the country — re-opened around 9 a.m. Wednesday morning after being closed due to smoke from fires burning between the small communities of Enterprise and Kakisa.
The situation remains extreme in the regions north and south of Great Slave Lake.
Environment Canada has issued a special air quality statement for all of Saskatchewan, as well as several communities in the N.W.T, including Yellowknife, Dettah, Fort Resolution, Fort Smith, Gameti, Whati, Behchoko and Lutsel K'e.
"Children, the elderly and those with respiratory problems should take care," it reads. "People in good health should consider reducing strenuous activities outdoors."
Rain in some parts of the region around Great Slave Lake is expected to quell some of the smoke Wednesday.
In Saskatchewan, the smoke is expected to move east and become less dense throughout the day.
Officials in the N.W.T. are also keeping a close eye on fires near Wekweeti, Gameti and Fort Reliance.
People in Kakisa, which has a population of 50, had to leave the community for a week as a fire raged around and through the town. They began returning home on the weekend.
The territorial parks at Reid Lake and Lady Evelyn Falls remain closed, and fire bans are in effect in all territorial parks in the North Slave, South Slave and Dehcho Regions.
Fires this summer have forced the territory's power corporation to temporarily close a hydroelectric dam. At one point, fires threatened crucial infrastructure that brings internet and cellular service to Yellowknife.
Last week, a fire destroyed a homestead on a remote part of Great Slave Lake, the life's work of two people who first settled in the area 27 years ago.

The Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission unanimously approved mountain lion harvest quotas for the upcoming lion season in the state at the Commission's September meeting in Glenwood Springs today.
During Friday's morning session, the Parks and Wildlife Commission also denied a citizen petition requesting that crossbows be approved for use during archery seasons. Commissioners also approved changes to falconry regulations to make it easier for non-resident falconers to participate in falconry events in Colorado.
The meeting was held at The Hotel Denver in Glenwood Springs.
Each year, the commission approves lion quotas, which establish the maximum allowable of harvest for lions in each game management unit. The commission established a statewide quota of 630 for the 2012-2013 season, an increase of 12 over last year. That includes an increase of up to four additional lions in the Hayman burn area where newly introduced bighorn sheep are being impacted by lion predation. Quotas were adjusted in 13 different other areas of the state. The 2012-2013 season begins on Nov. 21 and runs through March 31, 2013.
In other business, commissioners denied a citizen petition to the Parks and Wildlife Commission requesting approval of the use of crossbows during Colorado's archery season. Currently crossbows are only allowed during the big-game rifle seasons. Bob Goode of Buena Vista, who submitted the petition, argued that allowing crossbows during archery season could help to recruit new hunters. Several members of the Colorado Bowhunters Association testified against the proposal. Staff from Colorado Parks and Wildlife testified that the current structure, harvest and participation in the existing archery season seem to be functioning properly and, on those grounds, staff did not see any biological or management basis for the change.
Commissioners also approved a change in falconry regulations to reduce the paperwork necessary for falconers from outside of Colorado to participate in competitive events in Colorado. Birds brought into the state for these competitions will still require a health certificate from a veterinarian before being brought into the state in order to protect the health of native species.
The Commission also began work to to implement House Bill 12-1330, which allows individuals with license suspensions of at least 10 years to petition the Commission for reinstatement but only after serving half of their suspension or 15 years of a lifetime suspension. Commissioners discussed a proposed administrative process that will require people requesting reinstatement to submit a package of information, including a letter explaining why the petitioner is unlikely to violate wildlife statutes in the future. Under the draft regulations, individuals who are considered and approved for reinstatement will be required to pay a $300 reinstatement fee, successfully complete a hunter education course and perform 40 hours of service on a Colorado Parks and Wildlife-approved project. The Commission will review the draft regulation for final approval at a future meeting. Individuals whose hunting and fishing license privileges are suspended in Colorado are also prohibited from hunting or fishing in 37 other states under the Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact.
Commissioners also received an update on the future cost of non-resident hunting licenses in Colorado. The cost of non-resident hunting licenses are set by Colorado law in accordance with the annual Denver-Boulder Consumer Price Index. The current CPI would increase the cost of most non-resident big game licenses by $5 to $10 in 2013. The new rates will be considered for approval by the Commission at its November meeting in Yuma.
The Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission is an 11-member group appointed by the governor to provide public oversight for state parks, wildlife and outdoor recreation in Colorado. The Commission meets monthly and travels to communities around the state to facilitate public participation in its processes. The Commission will meet in Durango in early October, Yuma in November and Colorado Springs in December. For more information on the upcoming meeting schedule or how to listen to live online broadcasts of meetings, please see the Commission web page: http://wildlife.state.co.us/ParksWildlifeCommission/Pages/Commission.aspx.

BBC2 Fans of gritty realism should look elsewhere: Jed Mercurios drama is hyper-real and brilliantly pulpy. C5 has no pedigree, no track record and precious little proof that this is what its audience actually wants.

You did not disprove anything. You did what you continually do, Senator, which is bring up something irrelevant you think supports your statement. The funny thing is you don't even sound very knowledge abut Superman, STM, SII, SIII or SIV. I suggest you watch all the movies again, and read a few comics after you're done.
Yes, that's what you've been doing. False accusations about my identity. Then moved to tell me when, to whom and how to reply. And then patronizing and laughing everything away. Classic flaming tactics.
Hahahaah.....ahahahhahaah.....hahahahaah....hahaha ha..... You have fun at the Hype, Senator. You are going to need a sense of humor for the long road ahead...
Could you believe there are people basing movies 70 year old comics and books!
What's your point? Ahhh...that's right...you don't have a point. Again, you're just saying something that's irrelevant. That's what you do when you can't rebut. You just throw something else out there that has nothing to do with the conversation.
Let me ask you this... Why do you care about SR so much? I freely admit I have an unhealthy fascination with trashing this movie, but you... What's your deal?

The Gers' Scottish Championship campaign ends around three weeks before the final.
The Scottish Sun is claiming that Rangers will face Tottenham Hotspur in a closed doors friendly as part of their preparation for the Scottish Cup final clash with Hibernian.
Mark Warburton's men's Scottish Championship campaign finishes around three weeks before the clash is scheduled to take place at Hampden Park towards the end of May.
And while Alan Stubbs' side will have a play-off campaign that will see them playing competitive football in the build-up to the game, the fact that the Light Blues have already secured promotion means that they could be in a slightly awkward frame in mind, knowing that they face a considerable wait after their game against St Mirren before they play again.
However, although the contest against Mauricio Pochettino's men is just a friendly, the fact that Spurs have spent most of the season in the Premier League title race means that they will undoubtedly be the kind of challenge that Warburton will want his players to come up against in preparation for the Hibs clash, even if the North London side take their foot off the pedal at the end of a long season.
The Scottish Sun adds that the game will be an opportunity for Martyn Waghorn to prove his fitness ahead of the final, having not played for the Ibrox club since picking up an injury in February.

February 3, 2010
The following are Mayor Bloomberg's remarks as delivered
"Judge Webster, thank you, and welcome to New York everyone. And I particularly wanted to thank the Secretary. We'll forgive her for coming from Arizona. We can make her an honorary New Yorker."
(Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano: "I was born here.")
"Were you really? We'd like to make you a taxpayer actually. And particularly an old friend of mine Senator Hart, who I've known for a long time. But also two others who are great patriots like the Senator and Secretary. Norm Augustine and Martin O'Malley, both of whom I've been lucky enough to work with in Baltimore many years ago, and the great State of Maryland is doing okay. And you're watching our Defense spending Mr. Augustine?"
(Homeland Security Advisory Council Member Norman Augustine: "It's all in good shape.")
"Way to go. I did want to thank everybody, seriously, for coming to New York this morning. We strongly believe in your work and not only does our Police Commissioner, Ray Kelly, sit on your Council, but our Deputy Mayor for Operations Ed Skyler participated in your Homeland Security Alert System Task Force last year.
"And I don't think you could have picked a more fitting place for today's meeting, after all we are the gateway to the rest of our country. We are also the world's financial capital and the home to many highly visible, sensitive American icons - like the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building.
"And it's for these reasons that we have been attacked by terrorists before - and it's for these same reasons that we continue to be a prime target for terrorists. When anybody around the world gets arrested, they have maps of New York City in their pocket and really seldom any place else. And the reality is one that Commissioner Kelly and the NYPD and our great Fire Department and Office of Emergency Management, and all the other agencies that comprise our first responder group, confront head-on every single day. And the reality that if somebody's going to attack, the probability is that we would be ground zero again. And it's why, over the past eight years, our Administration has spared no expense in making New York City the safest, most secure city in the nation.
"We devote a thousand of our police officers full-time to intelligence and counterterrorism efforts. Our Police Department budget is about $8 billion annually and if you add the Fire Department in and the other agencies you're over $12 billion that we spend to keep people safe in this city - safe from street crime, but also safe from attacks from people outside of this country.
"Our state-of-the-art Lower Manhattan Security Initiative, for instance, is protecting our financial infrastructure through a network of cameras, radiation detectors, and license plate readers. With Department of Homeland Security funding, we're expanding this program to create a similar security zone around Midtown Manhattan, including where we are right now.
"But this initiative - like all our counter-terrorism efforts - relies not only on technology, but also on manpower. And over the past eight years, with some help from DHS, we've reinvigorated and strengthened what are without a doubt the best-trained police and fire departments in the world, and our superb Office of Emergency Management.
"And last month, we were able to share some of this expertise with the rest of the world when members of our Urban Search & Rescue Team, 80 police officers and firefighters, were deployed to Haiti.
"A highly trained, well-equipped police department has allowed us to foil terrorist plots over the years - including a plot this past summer to destroy two synagogues in the Bronx. But despite the great job that all of our first responders do, we certainly think of ourselves as being in the crosshairs. That is just a fact. And I challenge the Department to continue to work to devise Homeland Security funding formulas that take this fact into higher consideration.
"Commissioner Kelly and I have both been to Washington many times to urge the Federal government to distribute funding solely on threat levels. National security is a national responsibility, and we can't afford to let local politics get in the way, and trying to spread the money around as pork just is irresponsible at the very least.
"At the same time, we are urging Congress to restore funding for another key part of our defense - the Department's Securing the Cities initiative. We can't nickel-and-dime the best hope we have for preventing the worst possible calamity. The explosion of a nuclear device could cost thousands of lives, devastate our national economy, and plunge us further into conflict overseas.
"We've just got to start taking these threats seriously, and for us to do that the Federal government must take New York City seriously, and give us the resources we need to protect what clearly is the terrorists' number one target.
"This independent council understands this I think more than anyone else, that this is no place for politics. And in the coming months, I hope you will draw on your vast experience and judgment in the fields to impose tangible guidance and solutions for Department of Homeland Security.
"We just can't be complacent in New York City or in Washington, DC. And together we've just got to make sure that the Federal government moves closer to creating a system that more fairly and equitably attends to the security of this city - and our entire homeland.
"So thank you very much. Have a great day. We'll do everything we can do make you feel at home, which you have an enormous responsibility and we count on all of you to provide the guidance that sometimes political expediency doesn't call for. This is a serious, serious threat and thank you for all of your dedication, you're providing the kind of security we need."

A wedding should be about celebrating the love of the bride and groom not fussing over intricate decorations. There are many simple decorating ideas for outdoor weddings that will add romance and beauty. Candles, colorful linens, potted plants and pebbles are a few simple ways to decorate an outdoor wedding.
The great outdoors can be the perfect location for a wedding. If you decide to get married during the late spring, early summer or early fall, you will probably have the weather on your side. You most likely won't have to worry too much about decorating the area if your wedding is outdoors, as trees, sandy beaches or a lovely garden serve as natural and permanent decor.
Ideas For Outside Weddings
Picnic Wedding. If you and your soon-to-be spouse do not want an elaborate, overly formal wedding, consider throwing a picnic. A picnic wedding can take place in your backyard or at a local park. Make sure you get the proper permits and permission before holding your wedding in a public area, though.
Have the bridal party carry small baskets full of flowers instead of bouquets down the aisle. The guests can sit on picnic benches during the ceremony. Rent enough picnic tables to seat all your guests at the reception, as well as a few tables for serving or buffet tables. Fill small picnic baskets with locally picked flowers or seasonal fruits and set them on the tables as centerpieces. Serve the type of food you would normally eat at a picnic, such as hamburgers, sandwiches and salads. Consider renting a large tent in case it rains on the day of your wedding.

Wedding in a Garden And Park
A garden in full bloom is a beautiful spot to hold your wedding ceremony. You may have a friend or family member who has a beautiful backyard garden that would be ideal for your wedding. If not, see if you can rent space at a public botanic garden for the afternoon. Some gardens, such as the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, allow you to choose the type of garden you wish to have your wedding in, such as a rose garden or Japanese garden. Weddings in a public garden are usually simple, since the gardens can have strict rules. You may only be allowed to have a small number of guests and the guests may have to stand during the ceremony. If you do not want to have your ceremony outdoors in inclement weather, check if the garden has an indoor area available.
In addition to the garden, a unique and exciting wedding can be done in a unique place in the USA at Opryland USA Theme Park in Nashville may also be an option to make your dream wedding venue in order to make your wedding different from others.
Small details are simple to include but can make a big impact at your outdoor wedding. Sprinkle some colored stones or pebbles across each table. They'll pick up the light while adding romantic twinkle. Hang a few balloons from chairs or trees. Consider leaving bowls of fruit around the area. These colorful foods will bring an outdoor, natural vibe, while also providing an easy snack for hungry guests before the reception.

EVC's New Media Arts Apprenticeship (NMAA) is an afterschool workshop that annually gives 40 high school students college and career preparation in digital media arts as they learn to create apps, shoot video and photography, remix archival social justice footage and design an interactive website exploring a community issue of relevance to them.
Students earn school credit participating two afternoons per week for 15-week semesters, gaining basic mastery in industry-standard digital media imaging and editing tools including Adobe Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements and the WIX web-design platform. The students' final interactive websites are presented and celebrated at public launch events. Additionally, students are prepared as media educators and then are placed in summer jobs as counselors teaching Photoshop Elements and animation to young campers.
This apprenticeship gives students a strong advantage in gaining acceptance to college-level digital media programs; marketable career-ready skills that are in great demand in the media and technology industries; and an understanding of the community-based applications of these skills. The apprenticeship aligns with 9th – 12th grade Common Core State standards and addresses Blueprint for Teaching and Learning in the Moving Image 12th grade standards in the areas of film production and animation.
Bridging the Gap is the newest online project from EVC's New Media Arts Apprenticeship. We're proud it won the prestigious Social Impact Award at the Emoti-con Youth Digital and Technology Challenge. This innovative project is designed to promote informed dialogue among youth, police, and the community, highlighting ineffective policing practices while also moving towards community problem-solving of this critical issue. EVC students presented their interactive community website, providing original interviews, historical footage from EVC archives, and research about police-community relations at Teachers College, Columbia University in June 2015. Following this launch, these students were be placed in summer camp counselor jobs.
EVC's New Media Apprenticeship, sponsored by ExpandEd Options, helped shape my future. Through the program, I learned that I like creating websites and video editing. It was also great to change people's perspectives on social issues. I am currently working on my arts and advertisement design major at City Tech. Working at University Settlement was a challenge at first; however, I learned that I love working with kids , which is something I never did before since I am an only child. Teaching lesson plans encouraged me to overcome my shyness and develop a better way to express myself. I really do appreciate the efforts on sponsoring internships because it opens up doors and let you explore ideas before you even choose a career.`` -- Melanie Martinez, Former NMAA Teaching Assistant & Youth Producer

NEW YORK --Marco Rojas reminds his students where they are because during his class, they can't see.
They're all blindfolded.
Marco first started teaching blindfolded yoga after a blind student came to class with a seeing eye dog.
He decided that everyone should close their eyes to be on even footing, and suddenly he saw his students excelling in their practice.
There are some wobbly moments and sometimes people face the wrong way, but don't worry. No one's looking.

My Introduction to Thanksgiving
November creeps around the corner, shortening the days and freezing the air. Midterms and papers pile up in the increasingly longer nights spent in the libraries, and before you know it, the last leaf on the last tree has fallen. But this gloom doesn't last because the further the temperature drops, the closer we get to the holiday season! Thanksgiving stands out like a beacon of light at the end of November, and as it fast approaches, it gives out warmth and comfort to the entire campus.

As if it weren't enough that Stranger Things is finally delivering the TV show teenagers wanted to see back in 1986, here comes Riot Fest in Chicago to bring together the bands that '80s misfits of all stripes—punkers, indie-rockers, skankers and just plain weirdos—dreamed of, three decades too late.
Wait a minute, you say, isn't '80s nostalgia over? Aren't we well into '90s nostalgia, with Blink-182 topping the charts and grunge legends Temple of the Dog getting back together, not to mention all these goddamned O.J. Simpson shows? Sure, and Riot Fest Chicago has some of that, too, with Jimmy Eat World, NOFX, Refused, Smoking Popes and Rob Zombie (performing White Zombie's most popular album, 1995's Astro Creep 2000).
But make no mistake: this festival, which runs today through Sunday, is banking more than anything on good old-fashioned longing for the 1980s. First and foremost with Sunday headliner the "Original Misfits," which will see Danzig reunite with his early-'80s horror-punk band the Misfits for a 75-minute set that should give them enough time to play pretty much every song from their original incarnation.
Riot Fest is the first time Danzig and bassist Jerry Only have played together in three decades; they probably haven't even seen each other since 1983, except maybe in a courtroom during their extended legal battle. They played Riot Fest's newer festival in Denver last week, but the Chicago edition has doubled down on the excitement over the band getting back together, making their promotional slogan "Mommy Can I Go Out to Riot Fest Tonight?" a play on the Misfits song "Mommy, Can I Go Out and Kill Tonight?" If you think that basing their marketing campaign on a song whose lyrics include lines like "Killed a girl on lover's lane / I kept her toes and teeth" seems a tad risky, you may not be fully aware of just how much the world has hungered for "the reunion they said would never happen."
Like Warped Tour, Riot Fest is aimed primarily at a younger, punkier crowd. But unlike Warped Tour, Riot Fest organizers don't just throw their acts from earlier eras onto some old-timers stage. Instead, they seem to have a keen sense of which groups fans consider essential to their genres, and a particular appreciation for the importance of '80s bands—they've previously hosted the reunions of everyone from the Replacements to the Jesus and Mary Chain to Chicago's own postpunk legends Naked Raygun.
So how do millennials even know about these bands, and why do they care? Let's take a quick look at how some of these acts that made their names in the '80s came to be on Riot Fest's radar.
This one's a no-brainer. The Misfits have become to music what Batman is to comics, except they're the punk band we deserve and the one we need. When they were actually together, they were virtually unknown, but three decades later their gory-yet-weirdly-romantic appeal has grown so widespread that everyone from a 15-year-old gutterpunk to a fortysomething off-duty cop can feel right at home sporting the classic Misfits skull t-shirt. Meanwhile, the group's work, along with that of the Ramones and Pixies, is set to be this generation's campfire songbook. That it took this long for Danzig and Jerry Only to pull this reunion together is nuts, but who cares—for at least an hour and 15 minutes, they'll finally be not just a symbol, but a band.
Morrissey's intense bond with his fans, especially younger ones, has begun to take on a certain creepiness. They are obsessed with jumping on stage and hugging him, which is weird enough, but at the last show of his that I saw, a gigantic group of them actually rushed toward him and … didn't stop. They plowed into Moz so hard they pushed him off stage. "Oh my god," I thought. "They killed Morrissey!" Clearly, he survived—twist ending!—and it's obvious his continued popularity is no longer just about his legacy with the Smiths. The details of how his most loyal fanbase came to be young Latinos could fill a documentary—in fact, it's filled at least three so far: Is It Really So Strange?, Passions Just Like Mine, and the short Viva Morrissey.
Did I mention Blink-182 had a number-one album and number-one single this summer? And no one is a bigger Descendents fan than Blink drummer Travis Barker, who loves to talk about the influence they had on him every chance he gets. Fair enough, since without the Descendents' 1982 record Milo Goes to College, pop punk as we know it probably wouldn't exist. Hypercaffium Spazzinate, their new album, is their first in over a decade.
The third wave of ska officially crashed sometime in the year 2000, but somebody forgot to tell bands like Reel Big Fish and Less Than Jake, who continued to sell out clubs on tour for years afterward. Even today, the number of kids packed into a Streetlight Manifesto show will similarly mystify anyone who assumed ska was long since over. All of these groups worship the '80s 2 Tone bands that preceded them and have passed that reverence onto their fan bases. The Specials have broken up and reformed several times with various line-ups; the Toasters (who float somewhere between ska's second and third waves) don't just ignore trends, they flat out do not give a fuck what anyone at any given time thinks of ska. These guys have toured every year since about 1983.
Dee Snider of Twister Sister is at Riot Fest Chicago. I've got nothing.
He's still probably most famous for his time as guitarist and chief singer-songwriter with Hüsker Dü, the 1980s Minneapolis band largely responsible for pulling hardcore punk kicking and screaming into the emotional sincerity of indie-rock. (Just listen to "I Apologize," and marvel that there could be a punk rock song about the importance of saying sorry and doing the dishes, and that it could be so badass.) But Bob Mould, like some kind of blue-collar, work-a-day guitar god, has stayed on the cultural grid by never letting up, or letting down. His '90s alt-rock band Sugar was another bona fide phenomenon, and his solo work somehow keeps getting better, especially the last three records he's put out (in three years). Mould is ironically far more talked about now than he was in the '80s, and as long as he remains the darling of Internet-age musical tastemakers like Pitchfork and Stereogum, he'll always be in demand.

Little ones can learn to eat fruits and vegetables. It's about what you teach them.
When I was a kid, I thought that fruit was only for people on a diet. I remember seeing a girl with fruit in her lunchbox and asking her if she was on a diet. She said" no, I love fruit".
For years, fruit meant diet for me but now fruits and vegetables are the most glorious foods that I can think of.
I recently discovered two books that will inspire your kids to appreciate fruits and vegetables. In the board book "fruit", the fruits come to life with vibrant images of each fruit, every picture mirroring the beautiful fruit found in the market.
In the board book titled "Vegetables", zucchinis, beets and onions are shapely, colorful and attractive, adding a new twist to veggies plagued with ugly sterotypes.
The author Sara Anderson uses actual fruits and vegetables from the Pike Place Market
as the alluring models for her images. Adults can enjoy flipping through the books and getting inspired by the colorful, shapeliness of the fruits and vegetables.
Kids might learn to appreciate natural produce and sugary cereals might be on their way out the door (wishful thinking).
For more about Sara's work, check out her website.

MORE than 2,000 people from across the area have backed the Herald & Gazette's A&E SOS campaign.
The campaign was launched in September, amid concerns for the future of emergency services, including A&E, following the awarding of a £235 million contract to private group BUPA CSH and not Western Sussex Hospitals Foundation NHS Trust, which runs Worthing and Southlands hospitals, and St Richard's Hospital, in Chichester.
Campaigners are collecting petition slips inside Worthing Hospital today and tomorrow at a stall located outside the hospital's pharmacy.
Sue Cook, of Fernhurst Drive, Goring, will be at the stall on both days.
She said: "I have always shown great interest in facilities for local patients. Let's face it, everyone of us is a prospective patient. I'm totally amazed and disgusted with the actions that have been taken."
For more A&E SOS news, see the Herald & Gazette, Thursday, October 23.
