The Emery County Board of Education met in their regularly scheduled meeting on Jan. 9 at the Cottonwood Elementary in Orangeville. Board members present were Chairwoman Laurel Johansen, Rue Ware and Sam Singleton. Superintendent Kirk Sitterud and Business Administrator Ross Huntington.
The first item of business was the approval of the minutes from the previous meeting.
Dennis Jones, principal of Cottonwood Elementary was next on the agenda with the principal's report. He said, "We would like to thank the board for the new carpet in the upper hall and in two of the classrooms. This year we plan on carpeting three of the lower classrooms. We are doing great things at Cottonwood Elementary. The peer tutoring program is continuing with 5th graders reading with 2nd graders for the first part and then reading with 1st graders. Testing is done before and after and all of the second graders have increased their reading by one grade level.
"Linda Nelson and Teresa Jeffs are the two teachers trained in the CLIP reading program. They are able to CLIP at least two students each per year. It is a very extensive program that targets children who wouldn't be able to read otherwise. The students who have participated in CLIP are still reading on or above grade level three years later. Three teachers participate in the four block reading program. They trained at the service center during the summer. This program works on proven strategies and reading in the content area like math, science and social studies. It helps kids become active readers. It is an extensive reading program that builds comprehension in reading.
"The program helps students who can't remember or make sense of what they read. Comprehension is always an area of concern where test scores are low. This area needs development. Students need to attack reading and be able to relate it to themselves. They need to evaluate reading and making sense of questions and where to find answers. They need to use prior knowledge to help them assess their reading and understand better.
"Lori Labrum is in charge of the accelerated reading program. Lorraine Frandsen helps with rewards and activities. We have purchased the Utah Book Awards books for the students again this year.
"We have found the UPASS training to be beneficial and we have monthly meetings to discuss areas where kids are having trouble and target these areas.
"We have planted eight Olympic trees which were donated by the Olympic committee. We have 24 students going to the ski jump competition and 35 students attending the paraolympics. We will be presenting the governor's Olympic Program, "Light the Fire Within" at our school on Jan. 31 at 1:30 p.m. and again at 6:30 p.m. The students are practicing the songs for this program and preparing for it. On Feb. 1 we will be having our school Olympics. Each teacher will be assigned a different country and the students will be assigned a country. They will meet with the teacher of their country and learn about that program.
"We have ordered flags for the countries and the students will sit in the gym with their country groups. We will also have competitions like a ski race and give out medals. These activities are to help increase awareness of the Olympics.
"We have a warm and friendly atmosphere at Cottonwood Elementary and it is an enjoyable place to be," said Jones.
The comment was made that Cottonwood Elementary students sing the National Anthem each morning.
Johansen expressed her appreciation to Jones and the staff at Cottonwood Elementary for the great job they do.
J.J. Grant was next on the agenda with an update on the Olympics. Grant said, "I was appointed to be the district liaison for the Olympics a few years ago. The Olympic committee has done a marvelous job involving the students of Utah. They sent 12 students to the Nagano Winter Olympics and Mike Truman of Huntington was one of those who won a writing contest and went to Japan. They have held a number of essay and art contests for school children. One traveling exhibit was on display at the high school last spring. Some of the art work has been framed and will be on display at the Olympic Village. They have also donated trees to local schools which have been planted on the school grounds and also in communities.
"They have brought assemblies with hands on activities into the schools. I have one more meeting with them where I will pick up the tickets for the events. BookCliff Elementary is also presenting their Olympic program on Jan. 16. The Olympic committee had a lot of criteria for how the tickets were divided. Different categories were used and reports had to be sent back to the state on how the tickets were dispersed," said Grant.
Jon Crawford, director of student services was next on the agenda with test scores for the Emery District. He pointed out that students are tested in a variety of ways. Stanford Achievement Tests and Core assessments, secondary math and science, language arts, national assessments and direct writing assessments and a basic competency test are among the many tests students will take at various grade levels.
The purpose of all the testing is to interpret and use data which will help students become more competent. All of the school district's test results will be available on the state office of education's website. Hard copies will be made available upon request. Crawford pointed out that two indicators of how well students do on tests is socioeconomic background and teacher preparation. Language scores remain at a lower level statewide. Emery District is ahead of the state in all but five test subjects.
Superintendent Sitterud mentioned that he is pleased with the district's results and that they have remained competitive with the state. He said, "We still have work to do but our teachers are doing a good job preparing kids."
Johansen said, "The efforts are being realized and the teachers should be commended for their efforts."
It was mentioned that testing in the next couple of years might be done on line. Ross Huntington was appointed as the business administrator for the next two years.
The next item on the agenda was a request from Emery High to implement a new fitness program. Darrell Gardner said, "Fifty percent of kids are overweight. They have as much as 30 percent body fat and it's not good for them. This program is not targeted for the athletic population but for the average student. Everyone needs physical fitness. This is circuit training for strength and endurance. This plan elevates the heart rate at least three times a week for 30 minutes. The program is computerized and can tell each student their body composition and fat percentage. Teachers need to prepare kids physically for the world as well as in the classroom."
Singleton who participated in a trip to Richfield to check out their program said, "I was impressed with the program and the class participation."
Gwen Callahan, principal of Emery High, said they would like to make it a requirement that each sophomore take a semester of this class. After taking the class once they would hope that students would take it again later on in their school years after seeing how much fun the class is. Students are required to take one and a half credits of P.E. for graduation.
The fitness program includes a lease agreement with a company who provides the equipment. The school would pay the fee for lease of the equipment and then in turn be reimbursed by a nonprofit foundation for that lease fee. The only requirement being sending data to the company for analysis.
Huntington expressed his reservations about the program, he is concerned that if an offer sounds too good to be true it usually is.
It was determined that the school district would have their attorney look at the contract and make sure it is OK. The attorney would determine what if any risks are involved before a decision is made.
Callahan said, "We are looking at creating a student lounge which involves taking out a couple of nonweight bearing walls and removing Mr. Wagner's room, he will be relocated somewhere else in the building. The students have raised the money to buy couches and to furnish the area. This area of the school is the most congested and we feel opening this corner will be extremely helpful."
Ware requested a map of the proposed area and a more clear explanation of walls and rooms involved before making a decision.
Superintendent Sitterud said, "On Jan. 24 we are invited to the state capitol to meet with our legislators if any of you would like to go please let me know. Our 21st Century Schools have recently been notified that their bonuses for meeting their goals will be Castle Dale Elementary $16,500 and Ferron Elementary $20,880. The program is in its third year of funding.
"I have two requests from employees who wish to participate in the early retirement program. Randy Lake is a longtime bus driver for the district and Geniel Huntington, principal of Castle Dale Elementary." The board approved the requests. Johansen expressed appreciation for the service of these two employees.
Superintendent Sitterud informed the board of the $200 million shortfall in this year's state budget. He mentioned an e-mail from Pat Ogden at the State Office of Education concerning education cuts.
Huntington mentioned the school district would experience a shortfall this year of approximately $150,000 due to the drop in interest rates on investments. Projected interest rates of 5-6 percent are down to 2.5 percent creating this shortfall. The district will curb spending for the rest of the fiscal year but will not cut any staff. Sitterud said the district will be cautious with all expenditures.
Sitterud said, "The district performance report is being readied for publication and will come out soon. Over the next couple of years these reports will be done individually by each school. Letters have been sent to the Grand County residents of Green River so they can fill out applications for their students to attend school in Green River. This is being done so we can start collecting funds for those students from Grand County.
"Because of conflicts the school board meeting for February will be moved from Feb. 6 to Feb. 13. at Huntington Elementary. This change will need to be advertised. The honor choir is requesting board approval for an overnight trip to Provo," said Sitterud.
The trip was approved. Sitterud expressed his appreciation to the Emery County Progress for their coverage of school activities and support of the school district.
Singleton said he recently attended school geography bees and he has been impressed with the elementary students.

Craft developed its new Lightning Cap to be much more than just a knitted accessory that keeps your head warm. It was constructed using several of Craft's proprietary technical fabrics in order to ventilate and disperse moisture, making it ideal for all of your cool-weather outdoor adventures.
The Lightning cap was made using Craft's C431 acrylic and wool blend, which effectively keeps you warm and dry by transferring moisture to the outer-layer of the fabric. Craft lined the cap with its Coolmax material, giving your head a layer of this proven polyester blend that's known for its softness and moisture-wicking properties.
These fabric panels were joined together using elastic thread and a flexible channel-stitch construction in order to ensure maximum comfort. Finishing details include reflective thread treatments and a small logo tag sewn into the hem.
The Craft Lightning Cap is available in the sizes Small/medium and Large/x-large and in the colors Metal/black and Spirit/black.
• Reflective thread.

Mikael Backlund is Good - I freaking told you so
Kent Wilson
April 15 2013 08:27AM
It isn't terribly noble to wag your finger and say "I told you so", but I think this is an article that needs to be written. I spent all of last season doing my damnedest to defend Mikael Backlund from a growing chorus of naysayers in the Flames media and fanbase. The team was going through another disappointing season and Backlund wasn't really contributing, at least in the most obvious ways. The 23 year old was hurt all the time and whenever he was in the line-up, the puck wasn't going in the net for him. People in this city are highly conditioned to expect draft picks to bust, so it seemed like another failure in a long line of wasted prospects.
The counting numbers were deceiving however. Backlund's ice time and responsibilities increased and his possession numbers remained sterling. Those are all the signs one needs to bet on a kid with a cheap contract - there's almost no downside to keeping him, but a potential for huge upside if the percentages turn around (which they almost always do).
I haven't taken a scientific poll or anything, but it's clear the perceptions of Backs have mostly changed for the better this year. I know that mostly because I haven't had to write a "Don't Quit on Backlund" advocacy piece so far.
Backlund once again leads the team in possession (even though his zone starts have sunk to about 45%) and his PDO remains pretty low (97), but his personal SH% has bounced up to 10.1%. With that and a bit more ice time at ES and on the PP, he has 14 points in 26 games so far, a 44-point pace over a full season. In addition, his two-way game appears by eye to be even better this year, a step forward which isn't unexpected for a guy his age.
I don't ever expect Backlund to be a high-end point getter - the 40-some point pace he has this year is probably a good expectation going forward. Still, with that modest but decent point level it's become far more obvious that Backlund is a very useful asset and one the team should retain going forward.
Thank goodness Feaster didn't move him in the summer.
Other Thoughts
- It's amazing to read the comments below Jonathan Willis' recent piece on Mike Brown over at Cult of Hockey. Jonathan counts chances for the Oilers and he details how large of a liability Brown has been since he arrived - and is absolutely pilloried for it by most of the readers.
It's still stunning the degree to which many hockey fans in general (as well as some analysts) believe "toughness" affects outcomes in the NHL. I'm okay with admitting there is a toughness aspect to the game, because it requires strength and a non-trivial ability to both absorb and dish pain to persist.
But the superstitious notion that a player can be terrible - can be comepletely outshot, outchanced and outscored by the opposition - and be not only a positive contributor, but a necessary member of the roster, is both fascinating and baffling to me. Even when confronted by consistent, incontrovertible evidence that players like Mike Brown are usually gross liabilities when it comes to the core aspects of the game (that is, scoring and preventing goals), the defenders of facepunchers nevertheless cling to vague notions and semi-plausible narratives about winning and roster building in the league.
Since acquiring Brown on March 5th, the Oilers have gone 8-9-3 (or a winning percentage of 40%) and their corsi ratio has been about 43% over that period (which is bottom of the league terrible). As JW shows, Brown has been grossly outplayed in aggregate despite mostly skating against other depth players. Furthermore, If you take a glance at both their underlying and counting numbers, it's clear the Oilers' problem is a bottom six (and blueline) filled with players who aren't really NHL caliber given the divide between their younger stars and everyone else.
And yet, you still have comment sections screaming that Edmonton need to get tougher and that the club's woes stem from them being a bunch of sissies.
- Let's pull back a bit on this idea of toughness and why it seems to be an undying article of faith for some. As I mentioned, there is an inescapable element of toughness in hockey. And, in principle, being significantly tougher as a player and as a team than the opposition could lead to positive outcomes - if it's easy to take the puck off the bad guys or if they're scared to battle for it in the corners, then it should be easier to defeat them.
Of course, like all things in a league that features the top 0.1% of players in the world, the difference between tough guys and non-tough guys in the NHL is vanishingly small as compared to the difference between the toughest and most fragile players in any given beer league. That's mostly because almost all of the dudes who can't take a hit or are afraid to go into the corners are all flushed out of the league pretty much immediately (if they ever make it that far). Hockey is a tough sport all the way down the line and if you're a guy who can't hang around the grinders or the enforcers out of frailty or fear, then you probably don't make a lot of scouts lists.
This theoretical effect of toughness (as well as the fact that tough guys are always fan favorites because of their role***) tends to create this odd inability for many folks to coolly and rationally analyze the contributions of replacement level grinders to winning. It's one thing if a tough guy helps a team control the play, increase possession and move the puck in the right direction. But if he doesn't do those things - in fact, is terrible at them - then you have to somehow assume there are other, more diffuse benefits that somehow outweigh the very obvious, very direct negatives he engenders in order to continue to believe these sorts of players are worthwhile (nay, needed! to win).
The idea that one need not evaluate players like Brown - as long as they running around trying to hurt other players - is so absurd on it's face if given more than 5 seconds of thought it's frankly amazing the argument is still forwarded and defended - voraciously - in some quarters. It's one that isn't really propounded for any other factor or role in hockey either. Nobody defends blindingly fast skaters who can't do anything else, for instance.
- ***Just to expand on this aside - it's notable that people in general have a hard time distinguishing "I like" from "is useful". By which I mean the things you find notable, pleasant, courageous (add superlative here) may not, in fact, have true utility in the context of the game. It's far easier for the mind to determine what it likes since subjective appreciation tends to be a lot more visceral and reactive (as well as easy to recall), and then make up stories about why this thing is important in the aftermath.
- Related: the people who think you can reduce hockey to a simple matter of "might is right" on the ice are usually the same sorts of people who claim that hockey is far too fluid and complex to adequately capture in stats. So either the game is irreducibly complex...or you can favorably improve a club by simply adding a few tough guys. It really can't be both.
- On that note, Tim Jackman is a guy who should be held up as one of the few marginal fourth line players who can bang bodies, drop the gloves, but still contribute as a hockey player. He's not going to win many shoot outs or go end-to-end any time soon, but he has always put up decent enough possession numbers (this year too) that suggest he's not going to cost the Flames goals and wins, which is what should be asked of guys at the end of the roster.
He apparently had a great game on Satruday and I'm glad he's a Flame. You can do a lot worse when it comes to facepunchers in this league.
Recently at FlamesNation
Asking a hockey player to analyze hockey is like asking a schitzophrenic to analyze schitzophrenia; are they deeply involved in it? Absolutely. Does that make them better at analyzing the underlying situation than a third party analyst? Not necessarily.
Ok then, don't ask the guys playing the game. Ask all these people coaching why they value something like this so much. Why are the Bob Nystroms, the Milan Lucic, and players of that nature so valuable and so effective, especially when it matters.
You're talking about 2 different types of players. This discussion began with Mike Brown and the role of goons and you're bringing up Bobby Nystrom and Milan Lucic?
Nystrom and Lucic don't fit that bill at all. I think the players coaches value are the Steve Begin types, they bust their ass on the ice and they listen to everything the coach says.
Toughness is part of the game, if you're a one dimensional player, your dimension better be scoring goals cuz toughness alone doesn't make you a useful NHLer.

I'm not talking about the one dimensional player either. But the stats only oriented guys on here dispute many parts of the physical game.

I think the point that they're trying to make is that a player needs to be able to use their size to help win.
Size with skill = WIN Size without skill = LOSE
It is not just size that matters; its how you use it.
EDIT: I didn't mean for that to sound quite so dirty. Focus on the hockey.

Issues with a bigger calf
"So I am more of a short petite girl and I was so excited to get these and when I tried them on only to find out that they would have probably fit if I didn't have a big calf. The boot runs about a few inches below my knee but was really tight. So if you are short and have a bigger calf might want to think about it before purchasing."

In other news, I like to stuff things. In particular, I like to stuff eggplants. I don't like to stuff bell peppers because I think bell peppers are gross. I also don't particularly care to stuff tomatoes because I don't think it improves their taste. Cooking in marsala wine to accompany stuffed eggplants? Definitely improves their taste. I've thought about stuffing zucchini, and I have certainly stuffed chicken, mushrooms and whole fish. And if it were feasible, I'd stuff a sock in my brother's mouth to get him to shut up. I won't even spare an apple for that one. So stuffing is one of my preferred culinary methods. I'd love to say that this is because it's versatile and melds together a variety of flavors. The truth? I require a lot of things to be just so--tidy, über-organized, unblemished, and symmetrical. Stuffing things--especially eggplants--really appeals to this side of me. I just can't deny how happy it makes me to see my meal sitting nice and tidy in an edible container.
Oh, and if my mom pipes up in the comments, ignore her. My room is a form of organized chaos and does not count.
*By small, I mean about 5 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. Please keep your mind out of the gutter.
Suggested Timeline: While your eggplants are in the oven, chop your onion. Saute onion and begin cooking the quinoa. Put a pot of water on to boil to blanch tomatoes. While water is coming to a boil, your eggplants will likely need to be taken out to cool. Check on your quinoa if necessary and begin cooking the mushroom, eggplant and garlic mixture. Blanch tomatoes when water boils. I vote you mix your stuffing in the quinoa pot or rice cooker vessel to avoid another dish. That way, in that same saute pan you used first for the onions and then the mushrooms, you can take care of your tomatoes. Four dish meal? Awesome. Especially since one basically only had water in it.
Preheat oven to 350F.
1. Remove the stems from the eggplants trying to preserve as much of the eggplant as possible. Slice down the middle. Leaving about 1/4 inch around the edges, scoop out the seeds and flesh. To make this easier, score with a knife. Or, if you're special like I am, use a grapefruit spoon--it made my life so much easier. Chop and reserve flesh for stuffing.
2. Place eggplants on baking sheet open side up. Bake until slightly tender--about 10-15 minutes depending on size. Remove from oven and let cool.
3. Split your onion in half. Dice half of the onion. The other half should be sliced and then cut in half so you have long pieces. Put the larger pieces aside.
4. Using about 1/4 cup of the chicken stock, saute diced onion until translucent. Add onion and any remaining stock to your rice cooker, or, if you're going to cook your quinoa on the stove, to your pot.
5. Place quinoa in rice cooker or pot along with the rest of the chicken stock. Add more liquid in the form of water if necessary. At this point you should have quinoa, stock, water and diced onions in your chosen vessel. Cook as directed.
6. Bring a pot of water to boil, submerge tomatoes, and cook for 2 minutes. You could probably just microwave them for a minute too. Remove from water and coarsely chop. Set tomatoes aside.
7. Place a little olive oil in your pan. Add eggplant flesh, sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook until tender, and then add basil. Salt and pepper to taste. About 10 minutes.
8. When quinoa is done, mix with eggplant/mushroom mixture. Also add in the parmesan and mozzarella. Mix together, and check for seasoning. Set stuffing aside.
10. Place tomatoes, onion and any liquid on the bottom of a rectangular glass cake pan. Size will vary depending on your eggplants. Nestle all of the eggplants into the tomatoes. Then, using a small spoon, stuff them full with the quinoa filling. Sprinkle a little cheese on top if desired.
11. Bake for 15 minutes at 350F. Switch to broil, watch closely, and let brown.
12. Serve tomatoes with eggplant.

I never had to mess with the settings while drying my hair because there weren't the buttons to mess with. This one is good. Gets Hot and I've noticed my hair feels softer. I don't know if it's the tourmaline. There are a couple of things that I don't like about this dryer, actually three. One is that there is no medium speed. The other is that I've bumped the buttons while drying my hair. The third thing is that the attachments keep falling off. I use the concentration thing and the pik one. They ALWAYS fall off. Hot Tools you need to make better attachments!Mar 4, 2012ChristyHAIR TYPEBlonde / Oily Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Great Productas usual my last blow dryer broke after just 1 month of use! and i was not about to get a 4th one! so i decided to fork over money for something that would actually last long and provide non frizz results. i received my package 2 weeks ago and ive used this blow dryer 2 times i must say i am very impressed! it came with the comb piece, a diffuser and concentrator. i was so excited during my un-boxing of it. my hair is coarse and curly at the roots and the only product i put in my hair is heat protectant spray and my hair came out feeling soft to the touch and moisturized some how i don't even know how because all of the dryers i've ever used... apart from the one my hair stylist uses always made my hair dry and frizzy even when i oil it! i was so happy i had to get all of my roommates to run their hands through my hair! haha they're definitely jealous and are looking to buying this dryer. i recommend this product definitely and it has many switches to control the heat and force. the only downside id say is that after about 3 minutes of holding it i would have to take a break because my arm would be tired from holding it! also the dryer is quite lengthy and when the comb piece is attached, its even longer and makes running through the hair while holding the tail a bit more difficult but i solve this problem by grabbing the dryer by its spout but it does get a little hot however not scorching hot so its manageable.Feb 13, 2012DupeHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Relaxed Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Lasted Eight MonthsI liked it. A step above my $20 ionic Revlon dryer I bought four years ago.. the one that's still kickin, and that that I'm now back to using. This had what I wanted- not too heavy, 3 speed settings, two heat plus a cold button. Dried my hair fast without frying it. I loved how the diffuser worked, but one day the diffuser got too hot and I turned the dryer off, never to turn it on again. I hope Folica will just credit me for a nicer dryer, cause I'd love to upgrade to a Chi or Babyliss one dayJan 15, 2012LeenaHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Thick or Coarse Hair

So Worth ItI've never spent more than $20 or $30 for a hair dryer and decided I'd splurge and see if it made a difference and all I can say I wish I had spent the money 30 years ago. I love this dryer. It styles my hair so much faster and leaves it softer and less frizzy.Dec 15, 2011LauriHAIR TYPEBlonde / Fine or Thin Hair

Great Fast Hair Dryermy hair felt a lot softer after using this blow dryer compared to my old cheap revlon one. so definitely worth paying more for a ceramic/tourmaline/ionic hair dryer. the buttons/switches are like the pop out kind so somethings i hit one and change the setting while drying so that is a little annoying but im learning to hold it differently. the handle is a little too smooth for me making it hard to hold i wish there was a little grip thing on it or something. and it is heavy than my old one but ive gotten used to it. the nozzle fits my helen of troy diffuser so really happy i dont have to exchange it or anything haven't tried the diffuser it came with yet thoughJul 31, 2011Margaret / KansasHAIR TYPEBlack / Thick or Coarse Hair

Wow!!This hair dryer is amazing!!!. I am an african american female with very thick, coarse hair. Not only did this hair dryer leave my hair so soft, but it reduced the amount of frizz that i usually have after blow drying my hair. Not to mention that my hair was alot more managable and it took no time at to completely dry my hair like promised in the dryer's description. You will love this hair dryer if you are looking to get fast drying, shiny, smooth, reduced frizz results. Best dryer I have ever had : )Jun 14, 2011Kellie / PhiladelphiaHAIR TYPEBlack / Dry Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Relaxed Hair

Looking For The Ultimate DryerI do a lot to protect my hair and I also give it a workout everyday with washing & blowdrying. I would need to replace my hair dryer every year so I did a lot of researching for the best and longlasting dryer to invest in. I chose the middle of the line in dryers just to get an idea of how far my money would go. With the Tourmaline Ionic Professional Dryer it went as far as a less expensive brand. I had it less then a year and it just stopped working. Dont waste your money on this one.May 12, 2011Cheryl

Why Did I Wait So Long?I finally decided to replace my old heavy Belson Gold 'N Hot blow dryer that has been my faithful companion for at least 15 years. I love love love my new blow dryer! Have no idea why I waited so long. Very light and dries my hair fast. Hair feels so soft afterwards. I have long fairly thick hair and so far the attachments are staying on. I typically divide my hair into sections while drying my hair anyway, so that probably helps keep added stress off the comb attachment. My only complaint is that I don't particularly like the location of the cool shot button. I keep hitting it accidentally. Will eventually get used to it.Mar 24, 2011Steph / OhioHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Relaxed Hair

For Great HairI bought this dryer to replace one that was getting to hot for my head. It was Tourmaline and Ionic and dried my hair fast and left it shiny, but the heat was too much.
I wanted another Tourmaline ionic dryer. This one seemed to fit the bill with the 3 heat settings, cool blast and 3 speeds. It is perfect. The average temp is just right for my hair and head. I am not cooking myself. My hair comes out shiney and it dries fast.
One reveiwer complained about the buttons. I am 67 years old, with arthrites and I have no trouble setting the buttons to the speed or heat I want and I don't find my hands moving them from 1 setting to another while I am blowing dry my hair.. They are just fine.
ANother plus is that it came with 3 attachments. A concentrator, diffuser and pick.
I would recommend this dryer to everyone. It is great.Aug 29, 2010Eudice G. / IllinoisHAIR TYPEWhite / Normal Hair / Oily Hair / Dry Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Goes with everything
"I love the shoe and its runs a little small (or maybe it's just me), so I would recommend going up a 1/2 size. If you are walking across a smooth surface ( such as a newly wax floor) please prepare to slide a little. The chain in the back took me a little time to get use to and it does cause the back of the shoe to discolor ( being expos to the sun). I should have brought two pairs because I do like the style but these shoes have a short life span. Based on the amount of sole."

Mark ROTHKO
Marcus Rothkowitz was born in Dvinsk, Russia (now Daugavpils, Latvia), on 25 September 1903. In 1913 his family emigrated to the United States and settled in Portland, Oregon. He won a scholarship to Yale University, New Haven, which he attended from 1921 to 1923. When the scholarship was not renewed he moved to New York and enrolled at The Art Students League of New York, where he studied with Max Weber. He first showed his work in a group exhibition at the Opportunities Gallery, New York, in 1928, becoming friends with fellow exhibitor Milton Avery. His first solo exhibition was held five years later at the Museum of Art, Portland, in 1933. Like many of his contemporaries, he was employed by the Federal Art Project of the Works Project Administration, from 1936 to 1939. He became an American citizen in 1938 and, in 1940, began using the name Mark Rothko, although he did not change his name legally until 1959. From the late 1930s, his earlier style of broadly painted realism gave way to Surrealist-inspired mythological themes. He showed these works at his solo exhibition at the Art of This Century Gallery, New York, in 1945.
By 1947 Rothko's paintings had become wholly abstract and his compositions were made up of irregular areas of colour. He simplified this style, in 1949, to the loose rectangular, coloured shapes floating in vertical file that characterise his mature works. Over these years, he took on a variety of teaching jobs but, by the late 1950s, was able to support himself through sales of his work. In 1958 he was one of four Americans represented at the Venice biennale and, in the same year, he was commissioned to paint murals for the Seagram Building in New York. In 1961 the Museum of Modern Art, New York, mounted an exhibition of his work, which travelled to major European cities. In 1962 Rothko completed a series of murals for Harvard University and, in 1964, he started work on a commission to provide murals for a chapel in Houston, Texas, which was dedicated in February 1971. Rothko killed himself in his New York studio on 25 February 1970. A retrospective organised by the Guggenheim Museum, New York, toured the United States in 1978–79. Another retrospective was shown in Munich and Hamburg in 2008.

This is not a spoiler: I always got the feeling that Valyrian steel wasn't really "magical" in the usual sense of magic swords. It's just really high quality steel: very light (which makes that huge two hander usable), very sharp and stays that way. It doesn't make the user any more skilled or powerful, but the owners are almost always great knights and lords so they're usually the best swordsmen anyway. The Valyrians used magic to make it, but that's a bit of a different thing. Lord Marmot (leader of the Night's Watch) giving Jon his Valyrian sword was a huge deal for that reason; it was his family sword and he's handing it to a bastard and new member. Reinforces that "there's something special in store for you, boy" message.
Incorrect! Nerd alert. Valyrian Steel is one of the few materials that can be used to kill a White Walker, right?

#theLIST: Hot Stops: 2014
Yield: about 8
2 Tbsp olive oil
½ leek, white parts thinly sliced
2-3 fresh sage leaves, plus more for garnish, thinly sliced
½ red chile, thinly sliced (more or less depending on heat preference)
¼ tsp nutmeg
1 lb. butternut squash (about 1 medium), peeled, seeded and diced
2 small pears, cored and diced
1 cup vegetable broth
1 cinnamon stick
1 bay leaf
juice from ½ lemon
¼ cup light coconut milk
drizzle of pure maple syrup
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the leeks and sauté for a few minutes. Add the chili, sage, nutmeg and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the squash and cook a few more minutes. Next, add the pear, broth and a little water (if necessary) to just cover the vegetables. Bring to a boil. Lower heat, add the cinnamon stick and bay leaf, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes until vegetables are soft and easily pierced with a knife.
Transfer to a blender or Vitamix and puree until smooth. You may have to do this in batches, returning mixture to the pot. Blend or stir in the lemon juice, maple, coconut milk and season to taste with more sea salt and pepper. Add a little water, if needed, to reach desired thinness. Return to the pan and reheat if necessary.
To serve, ladle soup into shooters and top with fresh sage, microgreens and/or a drizzle of coconut milk or maple.

Watkins signs his rookie deal with Bills
by Joe Buscaglia
posted May 28 2014 2:27PM
The most highly touted draft pick for the Buffalo Bills in recent memory is officially a member of the team. The Bills announced shortly after Wedensday's practice that wide receiver and fourth overall selection Sammy Watkins had signed his rookie contract with the team.
As has been his modus operandi since walking through the doors at One Bills Drive for the rookie minicamp, Watkins was all about the task at hand.
"It's definitely a blessing... but for me it's to come here and perform, hit the playbook now and get bonded with the quarterback and the offense," he said, just moments after signing his rookie deal. "At the end of the day it's a blessing, and I've gotta move forward and I've gotta perform now."
Watkins is the sixth of seven draft choices to sign their rookie contract with the Bills. The 6-foot-1, 211-pound wide receiver was the team's first round selection of the 2014 NFL Draft. Buffalo moved up from ninth overall to fourth in order to draft the Clemson wideout, and it cost them two future draft picks (a 2015 first and fourth) in order to do so.
With him now in the fold, it leaves only second-round pick and offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio as the lone remaining unsigned rookie draft choice on the Bills.

As the offseason progresses, Zack Greinke's price tag only figures to go up.
And at the outset of baseball's offseason shopping season, the Los Angeles Angels seemed to indicate they have little choice but to try and retain him.
The Angels suddenly are starved for pitching, dumping Ervin Santana and Dan Haren and knowing they can't rely solely on ace Jered Weaver and C.J. Wilson if they want to get back into the playoffs.
HOT STOVE: The 137 players eligible for free agency
So Greinke will be at the forefront of their offseason pursuits. But by the time Greinke settles on a home, he figures to be the highest-paid right-handed pitcher in baseball history.
San Francisco Giants ace Matt Cain currently claims that distinction, thanks to a six-year, $127.5 million contract extension he signed in April.
But Greinke, unlike Cain, is on the open market. And the market might soon get crowded.
The Angels' biggest threats to retaining Greinke are familiar. Their regional rivals, the Los Angeles Dodgers, are flush with cash. Their American League West Division rivals, the Texas Rangers, have both a need and perhaps even more money freed up if, as expected, they let five-time All-Star outfielder Josh Hamilton go.
And there will be plenty of dark horses in the derby, most notably the Washington Nationals — and perhaps the Milwaukee Brewers, who traded Greinke to the Angels in July.
But it's the Angels who are licking their wounds and looking to overhaul after Greinke's acquisition failed to put them over the top in the West.
They also want to upgrade their bullpen, which blew an AL-leading 22 saves. They brought in Ernesto Frieri from the San Diego Padres. He saved 23 games, but the Padres couldn't rely on him down the stretch. Jordan Walden, who opened the season as Los Angeles' closer, also struggled.
The Angels would like to bring in a free agent and could grab closer Rafael Soriano or take a chance that Jose Valverde's late struggles this past season simply were a matter of fatigue.
"I don't know that players should go home feeling like the season is a failure," Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto said, "but I bet you every one of them is feeling like they came up short. And we have to figure out how to not come up short next time."
The Angels already have decided to part ways with veteran outfielder Torii Hunter, declined the option of Haren and traded Santana to the Kansas City Royals. Infielder Maicer Izturis signed a three-year deal with the Toronto Blue Jays, and veteran relievers LaTroy Hawkins and Jason Isringhausen also will depart, saving the team about $32 million.
This leaves plenty of money to go after pitching, although the Angels realize they're stuck with the $48 million remaining on left fielder Vernon Wells' contract.
"We have a lot of commitments," Dipoto said, "but we've never been short of resources."
They will replace Hunter with young outfielder Peter Bourjos, who is the best defensive outfielder on the team, hoping he can provide enough offense to merit a starting job.
If nothing else, they learned last season that when you lose 14 of your first 20 games, you put yourself in a position that's almost impossible to overcome.
"We set ourselves back early in the year and never quite got to a position we wanted to be," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said, "and we paid a price for it."
Even Mike Trout's unprecedented rookie season — in which he became the first player to hit 30 homers, steal 45 bases and score 125 runs in a season — along with first baseman Albert Pujols' standard 30 homer/100-RBI output and Weaver's first 20-win season weren't enough, leaving the Angels scratching their heads.
Per usual, they have identified pitching as their path to victory.
Certainly, they have high aspirations, or they would have picked up Haren's $15.5 million option, but he went 12-13 with a 4.33 ERA last season. They also have hopes Wilson will bounce back after going 4-5 with a 5.54 ERA in the second half. He had arthroscopic elbow surgery in the offseason.
The Angels think they can fix their woes by simply upgrading their rotation. They think Garrett Richards can become a fixture and promising lefty Nick Maronde might be ready in a year. They will concentrate most of their resources on getting the rotation fixed and on a bullpen that had a 3.97 ERA.
"With starting pitchers, you have track records, and you have a good idea what you're going to get out of position players," Dipoto said.
But relievers?
"It's akin to going to Las Vegas," Dipoto says, "and throwing it down on double-zero green."
So their focus will soon shift to Greinke, who figures to see plenty of green before the new year.

Great Boots
"I was hoping these boots were leather, and looked like leather, rather than cheap plastic. They are beautiful, especially the warm cognac brown color. And the 'fringe' is a bonus, makes them look alittle more fun. They are high on the leg too. I ordered them to wear to a 'country themed' wedding so they will be just perfect."

|In response to Re: rust buildup in water lines...
: Copper pipes do not "rust" so it has to either be in the water itself or there are sections of steel pipes that are rusting. They cannot be snaked, bleach is a disinfectant not a solvent, if it is calcium buildup, muratic acid would dissolve it but then you could not drink or use the water for until all traces were gone. In any case getting rid of the rust is not the problem. You have to find out where it is coming from otherwise it will just keep returning.Or as Ahkmid would say, "The camel chased away from the tent will always return." hj
Well we fixed that old rascal camel by replacing that crummy ol rusty pipe with new stuff. Rip, rip, rip out that old pipe and get the new better stuff in thar!
: : My sister's home has copper water lines. It was on a well for a very long time but about 2 years ago was switched over to city water. The pressure has dropped steadily ever since. Hot and Cold are both very low on pressure. The lines are closing up with rust so that only a tiny hole is available in the center of the lines to carry water. Can this be flushed out with something like bleach? Can they be snaked somehow? They don't want to replace all the lines if there is another solution. When my Brother-in-law increased the pressure slightly at the regulator valve, lots and lots of rusty looking water ran from all fauctes for a long time.

Canadian women go for bronze at NORCECA
OMAHA, Nebraska (September 20, 2013) - The U.S. swept Canada 25-22, 25-14, 25-15 in Friday night's semifinal at the NORCECA (North and Central America and Caribbean) women's volleyball championships.
The United States, the defending champion of the biennial championship, will seek its seventh title in the tournament's 23rd edition dating back to 1969. The Americans will play Dominican Republic, tonight's other semifinal winner.
Canada, which holds two silver medals (1973 and 1989) as its best event finishes, will play Puerto Rico for the bronze medal. Canada has not reached the NORCECA medal podium since 1995.
Both medal matches are on Saturday.
Canada was led by Lucille Charuk's seven points, while Tabitha Love, Jaimie Thibeault and Dana Cranston added six points in the loss.
"I think we started off really strong and really precise and crisp and then we just let it deteriorate," said Canadian team captain Brittney Page. "The U.S. maintained their level and they ran away with it. I just wish we maintained how we started because we came out with a lot of fire and a lot of fight. We were staying true to ourselves and focusing on ourselves."
The United States out-served Canada 6-0 in aces and its offense generated a 37-24 advantage in kills. The Canadians held an 8-6 edge in blocks.
"I think there were two differences (between the first and second sets)," said Canada's head coach Arnd Ludwig. "I think the U.S. made some adjustments to our game. Also in the first set we were just going for the ball and made a lot of good serves and attacks and in the second set we were a little more scared. We didn't put the same risk into the attack."
The NORCECA champion earns a spot into the six-team FIVB Grand Champions Cup held Nov. 12-17 in Japan.

There is a smaller probability of more settled conditions developing on the continent, which could bring a greater risk of overnight fog and frost particularly for eastern UK.
Updated at: 1259 on Thu 23 Feb 2017
UK Outlook for Friday 10 Mar 2017 to Friday 24 Mar 2017:
For the rest of March signals are weak and confidence is low. There could be spells of wet and windy weather, interspersed with brighter and showery conditions with some snow possible across the north of the UK. There could, however, also be some drier and brighter spells, particularly in the south and east where we may see some local frost and fog at times overnight. Temperatures are expected to be around average for the time of year but there remains a small chance of seeing a more prolonged cold spell, if settled conditions were to develop more widely. This is more likely later in the period.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Of course, anyone of us could mimic this but for 2 things
1) It takes work and time to look up for suitable pictures. create text boxes to enter text etc
2) Our natural inclination is to fill up the slides with lots of words.
Recently, I saw a iPad app announced that was designed to tackle both of these problems.
Welcome the Haiku Deck iPad app , a free presentation making app on iPad.
How does it solve both these problems? Firstly, while you can quickly create a presentation on this iPad app it is extremely limited in terms of what you can add.
You can add up to two lines of text - a main text and a subtitle (see below).
You can't change the font currently. Let's say I decide to use that one word "Collection"
Next I select a picture as a background by tapping on the picture icon on the left (second from top)
As shown above, it automatically uses the text to search for suitable images and suggests similar "tags" to search for. You can ignore the text you used and type in whatever search terms you prefer as well.
Tap on the picture you want as a background and you will get a preview on the right to see how it looks. Tapping on "Use Text Background" button will remove the black shading box around the text.
You can also tap on the camera icon for the option to take a picture with your iPad camera or choose a picture already taken on your ipad.
On tapping "Choose a photo", I was pleasantly surprised by the options available.
You can add not just photos on your iPad camera roll or photo stream but you can connect to photos on Facebook, Instagram, Flickr and Picasa. No dropbox , Gdrive , Skydrive yet though.
I mentioned before you cannot change the font of the text but you can change the position of the text somewhat by tapping the layout button (three button from the top on the left)
In this case, I selected the layout on the bottom right so it moves the text right to the bottom. By default it centers the text.
That's ability it. The last thing you can change is the theme.
Any other options shares a link to a online web version, you can also embed it. Here's one example.
I've used Haiku Deck seriously twice for a internal presentation and one for an external presentation. The later I initially planned to use this for a Panel on "Future of Librarians" at the Library Association of Singapore seminar/conference last week but eventually decided against. Below I embed it , do note it is not finished or complete.
Is Haiku Deck worth using? If you aren't too picky and want to quickly create a professional presentation on the go, it is definitely worth trying as you could make one in 15 minutes.
In some ways using Haiku Deck allows you to bypass knowing the tips given in Ned Potter's great - 5 easy ways to create fabulous slides and quickly create slides fitting those guidelines.
But if you want something more complicated you will have to export the slides then add more.
Do note, that the exported slides will be exported as images on the slide as a whole (both text and background picture will be one image), so take that into account.
The main issue I see with Haiku deck is that I can't tell where all the images are coming from. Even if they are all creative commons, it doesn't indicate where they are coming from, so one can't easily give credit (or are they public domain?).
Personally, I would also be interested in a decktop version of this.

- Brief Synopsis:
- Four-year-old Sam's appearance as a zookeeper at his nursery school's Future Job Day leads him to a number of exciting activities and discoveries, including reading.
- Long Synopsis:
- bookjacket Sam Krupnik has to dress up for future job day at school--but Sam doesn't want just any job in his future! Sam wants to be a zookeeper, just like Zookeeper Jake in his favorite picture book. His innovative mom and sister help him create a memorable costume which he wears ... and wears ... and wears ... long after his firefighter classmates have gone back to their blue jeans. Encouraged by Mrs. Bennett, his teacher, Sam embarks on a lengthy project to teach his preschool class about a zookeeper's responsibilities, from the feeding of cubs to the training of lions. Along the way, often painfully, he learns what the job of teacher really requires: scheduling, perseverance, tact, and the wearing of many different hats. As always, the patient and loving Krupnik family stands by as Anastasia's irrepressible little brother struggles with a set of almost impossible goals. Readers of all ages will cheer for Sam as the embroidery thread that spells ZOOMAN SAM over his heart unravels and quite surprisingly transforms him into something more wonderful than even he could have imagined.

|Posted by Lou on December 27, 2003 at 07:57:28:
I have already seen the past posting on this subject, but I have something to add to it.
There is an American system setup at the boiler and I don't know if it is working properly. (Most likely not since there is air in the lines.)There is an eX-Trol tank with a 71 valve assembly, and above it is a Series 700 float type air vent. At the top of the air vent is a Schrader valve with a cap twisted on it. Should this system remove the air automatically, or do I need to bleed it with the Schrader valve manually? The coldest time of the year is upon me, and I need to make sure the system is up and running properly. We have already had the core checked by a professional, and it is fine. Any Help?

By BILL REDDBlanding
Those who challenge President Bush for spying on communications between persons in foreign countries and other persons in the United States without a warrant cite the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. This amendment provided that "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmations, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
In 1976, under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, the federal government gave itself the authority to "search without warrant or process any person, place or conveyance according to any federal law or rule of law; and seize without warrant or process any evidentiary item as provided by federal law" on the public lands of Utah which is two-thirds of the state.
Does this statement mean that the public lands of Utah are foreign territory where American citizens are not afforded customary constitutional protections? Probably. Does this mean that a cell phone call made to or from these lands is susceptible to federal "spying" without a warrant? Sounds like it.
No one has complained about this federal power on our public lands. So what is all the hub-bub about now? If unwarranted federal searches and seizures are good enough for Utahns, they ought to be good enough for Al Qaeda.

A pie in the sky?
A pie in the sky?
Yes Orochimaru is probably smarter than Jiraiya, who's supposedly stronger. All considered, they might be on equal bases, though I feel Jiraiya's better. So, Orochimaru with sharingan is a tough call for anybody.
On Pein's secret, it seemed to me that it was connected with Jiraiya, who also knew something about the rinnegan because of training a kid with it. So Oro being smarter but without background information, aside from what Jiraiya might have mentioned to him about Nagato, doesn't necesserily mean he would discover Pein secret faster than Jiraiya. He might not discover it at all, even if the sharingan would probably play a major part.
But it all looks like a What if?...

Glad I bought Wide
"Love this shoe. I don't usually buy wide width but glad I did. I just have larger feet for this pointy look (size 11) and I love the pop of the red heel."

so nice!
"I love this pump - I got the black/white/red zebra. After reading the reviews that the wide size wasn't actually wide I took a chance and bought them because the price was so low on sale! I'm glad I did - they are so cute with black skinny pants! I have slight narrow 7.5 feet and this wide fits me without being snug - which I like. Less pain stuffing your toes into a pointy pump with this one! Happy!"

Wide is not very wide
"I love the look of the zebra print in this shoe. It fits true to size in the length but not width. I originally got the normal/medium width in the shoe and it didn't fit at all. After reading the reviews of the wide shoe, I thought I would exchange the first pair for a pair in wide width. Like other reviewers, I found the wide width to not be very wide at all. They are the same width as other shoes I have in a normal/medium width. Overall, I like the shoe and the look. I have shoes that are more comfortable, but I think over time once they get broken in, they will be more comfortable."

The lockout has been hard on Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby, who's itching to play hockey after missing much of the past two seasons with head injuries.
He has skated endlessly with Penguins teammates in the Pittsburgh area, gone to Scottsdale, Ariz., for some scrimmages, tried his hand at collective-bargaining negotiations and fended off numerous questions about whether he'll head to Europe.
Friday, he tried something really different: Playing goaltender in a ball hockey league at Dek Star, about 10 minutes from downtown.
As he told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Monday:
"My buddy plays in the league there. I talked to him about playing. I played a lot of goalie in street hockey growing up and stuff. Just asked if he needed a goalie. He said sure and I came out. It was cool."
The goalie mask gave Crosby some anonymity. He said he wasn't recognized until he talked to a referee late in the game.
Chris Evans, general manager for Dek Star, told the Post-Gazette:
"My referee walked over just to kind of say, 'Hey, you're not the normal goalie. It's about time they get a goalie.' Instead, he looked at him and he was like, 'Holy (cow) that's Sidney Crosby.'
"The other team played against him for an hour and had no idea. They didn't even know until I told them until after he left."
Of course, when playing goalie, you have to worry about a different type of head shot. But Crosby says he wasn't overly concerned because the sport uses a ball and he was wearing a mask.
So how does the NHL's best forward fare at goalie? A shutout, naturally.
"I didn't have one shot," Crosby told the newspaper. "My team was really good defensively."

As long as you turn off the cold water supply and turn off all electricity and/or gas to the tank, you can't really do much damage to yourself or the appliance. You will need some tools, though.

Savory Seafood Supper
With Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's behind us for another year, my husband, Ron, and I are glad to change from traditional, rich seasonal favorites to basic menus and simple foods that are the signature "taste of our home."
We've entertained and been entertained…and now we really enjoy just sitting down together for a simple but delicious meal like Chunky Crawfish Spread, Citrus Quencher, Sunday Shrimp Pasta Bake, Olive-Cucumber Tossed Salad and No-Bake Chocolate Pie.
The Sunday Shrimp Pasta Bake isn't just for Sunday, but it is that good. This delicious dish also serves us well on a Saturday night before a big football game or even during the week, if time allows.
I work full time in a medical office, but I still look forward to preparing a nice supper for us. I go into the kitchen, turn on my favorite radio station and cook. It's very relaxing to me.
Seafood is plentiful here, so we enjoy it often. Shrimp (or "shrimps," as my 101-year-old mother-in-law, Bertha, calls them) are Ron's favorite.
Enjoy Appetizers Anytime
Crawfish are my favorite, and Chunky Crawfish Spread is just the right touch for conversation and snacking while the main course is finishing up in the oven.
We often enjoy crawfish and shrimp at the same meal. But if not, I make sure to rotate the two.
The Olive-Cucumber Tossed Salad can be prepped ahead and plated up at the last minute. I combine the dressing with the olives and sliced cucumbers in advance.
Complementing the food with just the right tartness, my Citrus Quencher is sparkling and refreshing. It's so easy to mix up that I serve this sunny beverage year-round.
Wait for Dessert?
Sometimes dessert has to be served a bit later, as this is a filling meal. But when you bring out the No-Bake Chocolate Pie, no one will turn it down. It's a winner on any occasion.
Leftovers are not a problem when I prepare this meal for just the two of us. We appreciate these foods the second time around, or I'll take the leftovers to share at work the next day. There's always plenty to go around because I cook"big." It's the way I learned.
Since I work away from home full-time, friends have asked how I manage to find time to cook. I tell them…lists. That's my secret. Lists. It's actually a bit of a joke with those who know me well. I organize a meal—the menu, the shopping list, even the seating arrangement for special occasions. The bonus for me is that Ron cleans up.
We were married 7 years ago. Ron was born in New Orleans and spent most of his life there. He's retired from the U.S. Postal Service.
I'm a Bogalusa native and have a son, a daughter and son-in-law, and two young grandsons. My family loves Ron as if he has been with us always.
A Late Bloomer at Cooking
My personal cooking pleasures didn't begin until I was an adult. I have come a long way and am even asked to prepare foods for weddings and showers on occasion now. I must admit, however, that I much prefer the simple pleasures of cooking for my husband, family, friends and co-workers.
Ron enjoys his retirement and the outdoors. He has worked as a nature guide at a local boys' and girls' summer camp and is active in the Knights of Columbus.
I'm a member of the Secular Franciscans (a Roman Catholic fraternity), play in a Po-Ke-No group and enjoy "Eight Is Enough"—a group of ladies who get together several times a year.
Together, Ron and I like what we call "day-tripping" taking jaunts around Louisiana and nearby Mississippi.
Often, our destination is Baton Rouge for a visit with our grandchildren. "The grands" are our hearts, so we visit for any occasion that comes up—from soccer games to birthday parties and "good grade" celebrations.
I hope you all enjoy my recipes as much as we do, and I thank you, TOH readers, for your many prayers and kindnesses offered to us here in Louisiana in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. May God bless you all for your goodness of heart.
