The origins and growth of the Decatur Gun Club parallel that of the clay target itself, and the games created to hone and test shotgun shooting skill. Shotgun sport shooting with live pigeons and later, glass balls existed in the U.S. from the early 1800's. But the first "clay pigeon" and "trap" to throw it were not developed until about 1880 by George Ligowsky. William Brett From Decatur was the second manufacturer of clay targets in the U.S., which he called the "Decatur Red Bird". Considered the oldest shotgun shooting sports club in Illinois, the Decatur Gun Club was founded soon after clay targets were invented. Chan Powers and Bert Hildebrandt were two of the mentors of the club, first located near East William Street Road and 22nd Street. In the early years, the club occupied sites in the Hess Park area, the Wyckles Corner area, the Macon County Fairgrounds, and an area west of the Fairgrounds before finding it's home of the past 61 years at the north end of Faries Park.

We're live at the Tupelo Convention and Visitors Bureau board meeting. The board is meeting at the CVB. Meeting starts at 2 p.m.
Disclaimer: I'm typing as people are talking. There may be typos. People also have a tendency to talk at the same time, so I can't always hear everything.
And, I'm not typing every word. Think of this more as the highlights of the meeting.
Something doesn't make sense? Corrections? Have questions? Ask.
Financial report from Kim Hanna:
This is the last financial report for this fiscal year.
Sales tax has been really strong this year. Already $78,000 over budget and we still have a month to go.
Budget was more than adequate this year for personnel expenses.
We've only spent about half of the money allocated for supplies.
Not many capital expenditures this year.
One more payment of $83,000 to transfer to Coliseum Commission for debt. I'm planning that this category will go up $100K next year for aquatic center.
Had a really good sales tax month in June, even though it's down. June sales were good but not quite what we received a year ago. Overall, we're looking at a 9 percent increase for the entire year.
(Carlie note: I don't have the packet in front of me. Will grab one after the meeting for specific numbers.)
Neal McCoy, chairman of board: If we aren't using the money in supplies, we need to be using them for marketing or other things.
Film report from Pat Rasberry:
We have a lot of projects going on. Going to highlight three. Rest are in the report. I'm also going to be working on the in-market specialist tasks (new position that was created last month at board meeting).
Commission overview. We've been working on some Chickasaw videos. Working with filmmaker for Chickasaw film. She wanted a farmhouse. We found one in the Sherman community. It was very raw. They dressed it and now it looks great. You can watch it on Chickasaw.TV.
Manhattan Film Festival: We're the second city in Mississippi to particpate. Will be Oct. 4 at 7 p.m. at Malco. 10 short films were finalists. Audience will vote on the best films.
Community work – Tammy Rodgers and I have been working with supervisors to get the old courtroom opened in the courthouse. We'd like to use it for filming and for festivals. Supervisors approved the proposal on a case-by-case basis. Our ultimate goal is to get it brought back to its authenticy and to use it for historical viewing and to have it like a museum. It's a 107 years old this year.

Marketing report from Sean Johnson:
Elvis statue unveiling went well.
Facebook page is growing. Now have 25,000 likes. We were getting 1M impressions last month. We spend money with Facebook, but it's so cheap per "like."
Full report (copy and paste):
• The Tupelo Facebook page has exceeded 25,000 likes (25,736) and has begun generating impressions of more than 1.5 Million per week. Prior to Elvis week we were generating 300K per week; Elvis week was 500K and then it jumped drastically. While we're still looking into the reasons for this, our preliminary research is pointing to 25,000 being a threshold number for the amount of fans that have our posts posted to their walls.
- The statue was installed and revealed. It has been a big hit.
- The WeLoveTupelo site has increased in traffic lately. Much of this is due to an increase in SEO that has resulted in more hit from search engine inquiries. We're averaging now around 350 visits per day (up from 40/day) and have had over 16,000 unique visits to the site in total.
Current and Upcoming Promotional Efforts
- This week we're working on planning our fall television campaigns. We will be running at least two campaigns. The first campaign will deal our proximal markets (populations within an hour's drive (excluding Tupelo)) and will promote Tupelo's dining and shopping. The second campaign will run in Meridian, Jackson, Memphis, Northwest Alabama and South Central Tennessee and will promote attractions and weekend getaways. A possible third campaign is being considered for Nashville, Baton Rouge and Alabama.
- The new sports landing pages are live, and our SEC sports ads are generating nice traffic for the website.
- We are looking into email campaign strategy and looking for a good email service provider. We hope to have something put together by next month.
In other news…
- We've added the Downtown Guitars to our app.
- We have won awards for our work from the MTA and Southern Public Relations Federation. We'll be picking up these awards this month and next. We also got our Telly statues in.
- We have placed our first co-op ad with Hilton Garden Inn and will use this experience to formulate a coop advertising strategy that we can use with our other stakeholders.

The Shoreline Community College Men's Basketball Team suffered an opening round loss at the Pierce Community College Thanksgiving Tournament, but bounced back to win the Consolation Championship with two straight victories.
In SCC's first game, the team dropped a close 68-67 game to South Puget Sound CC. Shoreline led at halftime by five points (37-32) but could not hold the lead in the second half, as the squad was playing shorthanded. Alfie Miller and Zack Kelsh lead SCC in the game with 19 and 18 points respectively.
In the second game of the tournament, Sean Jones returned to the squad after serving a two game suspension for breaking team rules and scored 26 points in his first game of the season to help SCC to a 81-79 victory over Linn-Benton CC from Oregon. Alfie Miller and Zack Kelsh added 23 and 22 points for the Dolphins.
In the consolation finals, SCC held Columbia Basin College to 13 first half points on the way to a 64-44 victory. Zack Kelsh led SCC with 14 points, while Alfie Miller scored 12 and Sean Jones added 11 for the Dolphins.
Zack Kelsh was named All-Tournament for his efforts over the weekend. Shoreline extended its record to 3-1 on the season. SCC plays in the Community College of Spokane tournament December 3-5.
Zack Kelsh

Reviews of this property
Hello Pedro,
We had a very nice time in Lisbon ,liked the apartment and hope to come back.
See you and greetings from Holland!
Silvana and Jaideep
Everything you need (groceries, restaurants, metro) is nearby within a 5 min. walk. Comfortable bed, kitchen is narrow but well equipped. All in all a lovely apartment, we had a wonderful in Lisboa thanks to Pedro!
Pedro is a super nice host who was very patient with our delay due to the flight company on our day of arrival.
We spent a nice week in Lisbon in Pedro's flat which is really nicely situated near the city centre you can reach on foot.
We had a lovely time in lisbon. Pedro is very nice and the apartment was awesome, especially the view over the river tejo was amazing. Plus, being located in the old district alfama was very pleasant and picturesque.
Pedro is a super nice and uncomplicated host who was very patient with our delay due to the flight company on our day of arrival.
The flat itself is really nice, very good located and the view from the sleeping room over the river Tiejo and parts of the city is simply unbeatable!
We would come back there anytime again!
We had a great time in Lisbon and in Pedro's flat. He's a great host, we had eveything we needed. The flat turned out to be much bigger than we thought it would be, and it is really nicely situated near the city centre which you can reach on foot. We rented a car and were afraid about finding a parking lot, but there is always a free parking space in front of Pedro's building, which is somewhat miraculous for that part of the city. We warmly reccommend staying in this cosy flat!
We enjoyed our stay in Lisboa very much. The apartement is perfectly located close to the best places of Alfama and Baixa, you can reach them in short time by feet. The view from the sleepingroom is awesome, the neighborhood is quiet during the night. In the apartment you will find everything you need. You will surely feel home. The communication was uncomlicated !
Thank you very much Pedro- hope to see you again!
Alex & Kai

PC gaming is growing despite strong sales of consoles and tablet application games.
According to a report from the PC Gaming Alliance (PCGA) gaming software grew 8 percent to about $20 billion globally in 2012, primarily driven by an influx of Chinese gamers, said David Cole, an analyst with DFC Intelligence.
He estimated there are 1 billion people who play PC-based games with about 250 million playing core games, defined as using sophisticated strategy, action or role playing.
The PCGA commissioned the report, which was compiled by Jon Peddie Research (JPR) and DFC Intelligence, called the PCGA Pinnacle Report that contained data on hardware, software, player spending habits and system preferences.
DFC believes the market will continue to grow with a compound annual growth rate of about 6 percent to $25.7 billion in 2016.
JPR, which handled the hardware aspect of the report, described the industry as robust and steady despite worldwide economic issues. However, the research firm did note that PC gaming does have an image problem.
"The PC gaming market suffers from living in the shadow of the console market, and even though sales, and number of units sold of gaming PCs is higher than the sales or units sold of consoles, console games outsell PC games. As a result of this imbalance, game developers are drawn to the DX9 world of consoles and then re-port their games to the PC," the report stated.
In addition, JPR noted that the x86 processor-based gaming PC market is larger than the console game market, although no figures were released to back up this statement.
Other key findings
Desktops are still the most popular platform for high-end gamers.The all-in-one PC form factor is now working into the mix.Laptops and Ultrabooks are becoming more popular as these gain more processing and graphics power via the inclusion of discrete graphics cards.Tablets using Intel x86 processors, although few in numbers, are starting to have an impact.

Canada to battle for 11th place at world junior volleyball championships
NITEROI, Brazil - Germany defeated Canada, 3 -1 (16-25, 25-19, 25-23, 25-18) on Tuesday in the consolation semifinal at the FIVB Volleyball Men´s Junior World Championship 2011.

Wouldn't Recommend
"I ordered this bag in black a few months ago. I love Makowsky bags and also have a sachel. This particular bag totally looses its shape once you fill it and pick it up. The zippers on the top of the bag for each side compartment help keep the shape, but with only one magnet in the middle for the center opening compartment, the corners gape and looks sloppy. There needs to be a magnet at each corner for the center compartment for it to keep its shape. I paid $150 for this and don't enjoy carrying it."

Secretary's Column: Making the Business Case for Rural America
These days, it seems like it's easier than ever to turn a good idea into reality. This is the era of Kickstarter, where entrepreneurs can connect with potential investors at the click of a button.
Of course, it takes more than money to grow an idea. It takes an atmosphere that fosters creativity and rewards innovation. And at a deeper, less obvious level, it requires strong, secure infrastructure—roads and bridges, but also internet access and community facilities like hospitals and schools—that improves connectivity and access to information, moves products to market, and makes communities competitive and attractive to new businesses and investments.

13 Oct Rhinoplasty & Snoring
Snoring is often the stuff of which cartoons are made.
How many times have you seen an artist's clever vision of snoring, including:
- Window shades flapping in and out
- A bedroom filled with giant Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z'S
- A care-worn wife dashing screaming from the room, her hands clamped over her ears
But there's nothing funny about snoring — it's actually some very loud bad health in progress.
We note that because, in our practice, about half the patients coming in for cosmetic plastic surgery have breathing problems
Causes of snoring can be many, but you must be wondering what has snoring to do with the nose job procedure?
Simple answer: many snoring cases are abated or cured in connection with rhinoplasty.
Deeper answer: Before rhinoplasty, the savvy nasal surgeon will examine the nose's insides for blockages if the patient (or patient's wife!) reports habitual snoring. The exam is a thorough look-see by a surgeon trained and experienced in head and neck surgery.
The surgeon best qualified to perform that inside the nose exam is also usually board-certified in otolargyngology.
(Read our post about plastic surgery's board certifications.)
That surgeon thoroughly checks the inside of the nose because some conditions could exist which require a separate surgery before the patient can proceed on to the cosmetic rhinoplasty.
Internal nose passages include:
- The septum – that thin wall of cartilage separating the nostrils. A septum could be bent, twisted or blocked
- The turbinates, larger structures farther up in the nose, could require reduction because they sometimes swell
- Untreated broken noses that healed on their own
Turbinates humidify, filter and warm air before it reaches the lungs. If you snore, you become a mouth breather and get second choice air. Lungs are healthier with nose breathing.
Another answer to snoring may also be found in the sinuses, throat or neck when polyps or allergies are discovered.
In some cases, the patient's uvula, that dangling structure in the very back of the throat, hangs too far down into the throat and flaps back and forth, causing the sleep robbing Z-z-z-z-zs.
An enlarged adenoid can be the bugbear, especially in children.
But, of those many adult patients who come in with snoring problems, most are totally cured or significantly reduced.
Bottom line: healthy breathing is quiet breathing!

Pendleton School District asks for community input on potential bond
The Pendleton School District is asking for community input as it considers running a construction bond on a ballot next year.
District administrators say the elementary schools in Pendleton are overcrowded, with K - 5 enrollment at 115% of capacity.
The district has posted a survey online to see if parents and community members would be in favor of a bond that could pay for new schools.
To take the survey, click here.
The Pendleton School District will also host a community forum on October 30th to go over the condition of Pendleton's school facilities as well as a potential construction bond.
That meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at Lincoln Primary School (107 NW 10th St.)

Technical Problems FAQ
What do I do if the Cogeco Wireless Modem is not broadcasting my wireless network name?
Before troubleshooting this issue, ensure that you are looking for the correct network name.
Check all of your wireless devices to ensure that none of them can see your network name. If any of the devices can see your network name, there is most likely an issue with the device that is unable to locate the network. Consult the manufacturer of this device for troubleshooting.
Try changing the channel on the wireless modem. As the network name is not visible, and therefore not accessible wirelessly, you will be required to connect a computer directly to the modem to access the internal settings.
If you are still unable to see the network name, perform a reset of the wireless modem.

Sizing for Mountain Hardwear EV 2 Camp Tent:
My first opportunity to use my new EV2 was perfect. 4 days up at 10,000ft in the Sierras. Temps at night was 18 degrees low. Tons of snow. My first nights impression of this tent really set the stage. I set up base camp and since I haven't used the tent before I would say I had it 60% solid. I didn't guy out everything and my staking was incomplete and lazy. Hey, it was 60 degrees during the day, what could go wrong? That night: 18 degrees and 55mph gusts were screaming through our base camp all night. I never even had to get out of my bag. With a lazy set up I was warm, dry and solid. Night 2 and I had learned my lesson. I guyed everything out well and got my corners tight. Again 18 degrees and 40mph winds. I didn't even wake up more than twice. It's a small-ish tent for two people but a very roomy solo tent (I'm 6'3"). We still managed two people and packs for 4 nights. ZERO condensation (I think we played with the multiple vents a couple of times to figure that out). I have full confidence in this tent when things get bad. Since it's fairly light (5lbs packed weight) I'm going to give it a shot in the summer although I think it will be to hot. We'll see. Anyway....this tent is made for cold and harsh for sure. It will definitely be my go to tent when I'm nervous about the weather.
Let me just start with that I love mountain hardwear tents I have the satellite as well. I bought this tent for a bombproof two person tent, here in southeast AK you have two kinds of tents , tents that require a extra tarp over the tent and tents that have a good enough either fly or single walled waterproofing to hold up to 150+ inches of rain a year, as well as 60+ MPH winds. This is a tall order for most tents, but this tent stands up against it all! The down side is this tent runs a little small not length wise but width wise leaving it a little cramped for two people without gear. True this is a mountaineering tent and you would not really care about cramped when hanging out on top of peaks at 10,000ft above sea level but it is still small. Making it more of a 1 person and gear tent. But if you are going for added warmth this tent will be great. Moisture on the inside was not an issue with the vents (3 of them at the top with little over hangs to keep the water from dripping in) open. I have also tested the tent for winter camping and glacier travel and moisture was not an issue there either. It held up to 40 MPH (that is just best guess as I did not have a wind gauge) without any deformity of the tent. Make sure you follow the instructions and only seam seal the bottom seam otherwise you void the warranty. Overall a great tent if you happen to live in a rain forest with high winds, any sort of winter travel, camping and especially mountaineering or just looking for a bomber one man, squished two man tent. Bottom line BUY THIS TENT YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!
I'm finished setting my tent up while others are starting to lay their's out on the ground. It's a very fast and simple tent to set up. Condensation was mild in August at Colony Lakes (Crestone Needle). I found that there was more condensation with my head pointing out of the "vestibule" that there was when I closed the tent up. The condensation I saw was minor and a quick wipe of the walls took care of the little bit of wetness there was. This tent is a fantastic tent for the high and dry mountains. I always use it solo. I wish it were 1 pound lighter. My most wished for feature is that the the guy lines were higher on the sides because the wind gusts tend to make the thing act as a bellows--flapping up near the top of the tent, making a lot of noise. It'd be better if the present line is combined with a line or two located above the installed side's lines and below the side's vents so that the flapping could be prevented.

Serves 8
As a registered dietitian, I love hosting healthy dinner parties. One of my favorite ingredients is shrimp, because it's a lean protein and good source of vitamin D. However, it can be tricky to cook a large batch of shrimp just in time for your guests without overcooking it. The beauty of using a crock pot is that you can allow your dish to finish cooking while you greet your guests. The bell peppers in this dish provide more than aesthetic appeal as a good source of potassium and the antioxidants beta-carotene and capsaicin. Quinoa is an excellent plant-based source of protein that provides all the essential amino acids as well as plenty of fiber. Unlike other starchy vegetables, peas also provide protein and fiber which are nutrients beneficial for satiety and blood glucose control. Serve this colorful dish that requires little active preparation time and be assured that your guests will receive a delicious meal with a host of nutritional benefits.
Ingredients For the Quinoa:
1.5 cups quinoa, rinsed
½ cup finely diced onion
2 cloves garlic, pressed or diced
3 cups vegetable broth
1/4 cup white wine
1 cup sweet peas
5 sprigs of fresh thyme
For the shrimp:
2 lbs. Blue Ribbon shrimp, peeled and de-veined
1 cup each of red, orange, and yellow bell peppers, cut into strips
1 onion, cut into strips
4 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 cup of vegetable broth
1 cup white wine
1 Tbsp. fresh thyme
5 fresh bay leaves
Salt and white pepper to taste
Juice of one lemon
1. Bring vegetable broth and wine to a boil. Add quinoa and peas, reduce to a simmer, and cover. Cook 25-35 minutes, stirring often. Quinoa is done when it "pops" and looks like it has formed tails.
2. Sauté garlic, peppers, and onions with vegetable broth until slightly softened. Transfer to crock pot, add herbs, wine, and shrimp. Cook 30 minutes on low setting or until shrimp are pink and curled. Squeeze with fresh lemon juice and serve.
Nutrition information (per serving): 338 calories, 5 grams of fat, 31 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of fiber, 34 grams of protein

While paying attention to the ingredients used when cooking is crucial, the preparation method must also be considered. Baking, roasting, poaching, and boiling are ways to prepare foods without adding any cooking fat, which helps to avoid unnecessary calories. To satisfy the urge for something crisp and crunchy, try this recipe which uses pine nuts to add texture. Like other nuts, pine nuts are a good source of heart-healthy fats and magnesium. Magnesium is a mineral that most Americans may not be getting enough of, and it has been shown to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and hypertension. So exchange fried chicken, which is full of trans fat and refined carbohydrates, for this dish instead for fewer calories and greater nutritional value.
4 Blue Ribbon chicken breasts
16 fresh mozzarella pearls (or 4 ounces cubed mozzarella)
½ cup pine nuts
½ cup egg whites
1/2 cup diced plum tomatoes
½ cup diced green and yellow bell peppers
2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
4 cloves minced garlic
4 tsp. oregano
2 lemons
Salt and pepper to taste
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Slice chicken breasts down the middle to create a pocket and squeeze with juice from the lemons. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Use a food processor or spice grinder to blend pine nuts into a course powder.
4. Coat each chicken breast with egg whites followed by pine nuts and arrange in baking dish coated with non-stick cooking spray.
5. Combine tomatoes, diced bell peppers, salt, pepper, garlic, and balsamic vinegar.
6. Stuff each chicken breast with the tomato and pepper mixture, followed by 4 pearls (or 1 ounce) of mozzarella. Sprinkle with oregano.
7. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve atop a bed of baby greens.
Nutritional information for one chicken breast: 328 calories, 31 grams of protein, 20 grams of fat, and 2 grams of fiber.
Makes 6 Servings
Often times, when we think of Italian food, rich, heavy, starchy dishes with pasta and cheese come to mind. Lasagna is a perfect example, and oftentimes is accompanied by garlic bread on the side. Many recipes reduce the meat or cheese in lasagna recipes to decrease calories, however these ingredients are full of valuable protein. Protein is an essential nutrient that has many important functions, most commonly known for being the building block of our muscles. It also helps to build antibodies to protect us against infections. In addition, protein is more effective than carbohydrates in decreasing hunger and providing satiety. It promotes stable blood sugar, so it is beneficial to include some protein at every mealtime. However, many protein rich foods are high in saturated fat and cholesterol, so be sure to choose low-fat varieties when available and avoid consuming too much protein overall. Speak with a registered dietitian to find out how much protein you need to reach your personal health goals.
1 lb. Blue Ribbon All-Natural Ground Beef
¼ cup jarred tomato sauce
2 bell peppers, assorted colors, cut into thins strips
½ yellow onion, cut into thin strips
3-4 cloves garlic, pressed
1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
½ cup low-fat ricotta cheese
1 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese
1 cup liquid egg whites
1 tsp. crushed fennel
1 Tbsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
12 cup muffin tin
Nonstick cooking spray
Salt and pepper to taste
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a nonstick skillet, sauté peppers, onions, and garlic. Add balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Cook until onions become translucent. Set aside.
2. Cook ground beef in same skillet. To reduce fat, drain beef in a colander, and then move to a plate lined with paper towels. Let sit for one minute, and blot ground beef with paper towels.
3. Move ground beef back to skillet on low-heat, and add tomato sauce and spices. Cook 1 minute or until warm.
4. Spray muffin tin with nonstick spray. Add a thin layer of egg whites to each cup. Top with a layer of ricotta cheese, followed by a sprinkle of mozzarella, and a spoonful of the ground beef. Repeat starting with the egg whites. Top with the sautéed pepper and onion mixture, followed by a sprinkle of mozzarella.
5. Baked for 20 minutes covered with aluminum foil, followed by 10 minutes uncovered.
6. Enjoy lasagna cups with a salad and a slice of garlic bread if desired.
Nutrition Information (per 2 cups): 250 calories, 9 grams of fat, 6 grams of carbohydrate, 35 grams of protein
Serves 2
This recipe is low in carbohydrates, gluten-free, and appropriate for people with diabetes. Avoiding excess carbohydrates and consuming protein and fiber can help to keep blood sugar stable, which is also beneficial for weight management. The daikon in this recipe provides fiber and the shrimp is a lean source of protein. Although this dish is low in calories, these nutrients promote satiety and can help to keep you feeling fuller for longer. While cheese can be high in fat and cholesterol, feta and goat cheese have strong flavors, so you can enhance the flavor of the dish without having to use a lot.
Spiral slicer
2 large daikon radishes
10 ounces Blue Ribbon shrimp
4 Tbsp. goat cheese
½ cup fat-free feta cheese
2 Tbsp. minced fresh basil
2 tsp. minced garlic
¼ cup dry white wine
Juice of one lemon
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
2 tsp. olive oil
1. Use spiral slicer to cut daikon into thin, noodle-like strands.
2. Cook daikon in a dry, non-stick skillet on medium-high heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently, to reduce moisture content.
3. Remove daikon from skillet and set aside. Coat skillet with olive oil and add minced garlic. Cook over medium-high heat for 1 minutes, then add shrimp. Cook 2 minutes, then add lemon juice and wine. Cook until shrimp begin to turn opaque and curl. Add goat cheese, feta, crushed red pepper and basil.
4. Plate daikon "noodles" and top with shrimp. Enjoy!
One serving provides 347 calories, 12 grams of fat, 8 grams of carbohydrate, 2 grams of fiber, and 44 grams of protein
Tips and suggestions:
If you don't have a spiral slicer, you can use a vegetable peeler to cut the daikon into ribbon strips
If you want to include real pasta noodle, choose the whole wheat variety and replace half of it with the daikon
Use real white wine instead of cooking wine, which tends to be high in sodium
Bruschetta is known for rather simple ingredients: tomatoes, basil, and toasted bread. The ingredients in this recipe don't vary too much from the classic; however the preparation method is different. Typically, the tomatoes are diced and flavored without cooking. In this version, the vegetables are roasted for a deeper, caramelized flavor. Additionally, tomatoes contain the antioxidant lycopene, which is better absorbed by the body after cooking. Lycopene is also fat-soluble, so be sure not to skimp on the olive oil called for in this recipe.
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place tomatoes and onion in a baking dish, and drizzle with 1 Tbsp. olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place head of garlic on baking rack. Cook until onions and tomatoes are caramelized, about 45 minutes.
2. Remove vegetables from oven and allow to cool. Preheat broiler. In the meantime, slice sourdough into 1" thick slices. Combine ¼ cup of olive oil with minced garlic, fennel, oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes. Brush each slice of bread with olive oil mixture. Place sliced bread under broiler and brown on each side, watching closely.
3. Remove bread and place aside. Dice roasted onion once cooled. Combine with tomatoes. Remove skin from garlic and cut off one end of head. Squeeze roasted garlic out into the tomato mixture. Add basil, balsamic vinegar, remaining tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
4. Top toasted bread with tomato mixture and enjoy!

But anyway, that didn't last very long. Besides, that could happen anywhere. :P And besides in Norway, Oslo is where all the big bands play.

Kim Edgehouse has lived in Castle Dale her entire life except for the time she spent in Provo at beauty school. Taking care of hair, styling, perming and cutting has been a passion for Edgehouse since she was a child.
She is the daughter of Kimball and Ann Larsen of Castle Dale. As a child she would tell the neighbor children that their mothers said she was supposed to cut their hair and she would proceed to trim their hair.
Things really became serious in high school and the summer before her senior year she started commuting to Price each day to spend a half day at college. Friends her age that accompanied her to beauty school included, Jarilyn Magnuson, Tory Ward, Sherrie Snow, Trina Cox and Janet Jensen. Edgehouse said of those ladies the only one that cuts hair besides her is Tory Ward Killian part-time in Huntington.
"I attended Mary's College of Beauty in Provo. After I finished I started working for Maude Killpack in Ferron. She really taught me a lot. This job is what I always wanted to do and I have never tired of it. I have been here in my shop in my home for 30 years now. This is my 30th anniversary. I have been doing hair for 34 years. I have never had to advertise my business which is named, Cutting Edge-house and the house is a picture of a house.
"I have kept busy just by word of mouth and referrals. My clientele ranges from young to old, but most of the people, I have been cutting their hair for a long time. I do get new clientele, too.
"I really love my ladies. I have compassion and integrity, but I don't gossip or repeat what my customers might tell me and that's important to me. I try to be a good listener.
"I love doing perms and colors. I do cuts and styles. I really love perms. I won an award once for giving the best perm. I go to trade shows and keep up with all the latest style magazines. I try to take care of my customers hair. Some hair dressers will bleach hair until it's damaged, but I don't do that. I have customers that come from all over. Some from Ferron, Price, St. George and Salt Lake.
"This really is the perfect job. My ladies have always been good to work around my schedule and I'm good to work around theirs. I have been able to stay home with my kids and be there with them," said Edgehouse.
One of her customers, Phyllis Johnson said, "Everyone always asks, 'who does your hair,' and I tell them Kim. She's been doing my hair for three years now and Kim was recommended to me by my Avon lady."
Edgehouse said, "My husband Joe is from Ohio. He came out here to work in the coal mines. I met him not long after he came here and we recently celebrated our 30th anniversary. We have three children, Kasey, Kaylee and Kyler. Joe really likes it out here. He came right out of high school. We went back to visit in Ohio and his parents used to come out here. But, this is home now to Joe. He loves to fish and golf.
"I like to relax. I worked at Magnuson Lumber for awhile, too. I like to camp and be where my family is. I am glad everyone lives close so we can get together. I love being a grandma and we have Cage who is 7 and Oakley is 8 months.
"Working from home is great. In between appointments, I hurry and do something around the house or throw in a load of laundry. Having a home business really helps me keep the house clean.
"I love being at home. I'm really a home body so this job is ideal for me. I enjoy the special friendships I have made over the years. I like to help people feel good about themselves and having their hair done, makes them feel good. I make home visits to a few shut-ins and to some people in the nursing home. You really grow close to your people over the years. I don't plan on retiring any time soon. I can schedule my appointments so I can take a break if I need to.
"My clients were very understanding when my daughter Kaylee became sick. They had to go somewhere else for awhile. But, they all came back. I like being my own boss, I can take time off and not get fired. I had to take a leave of absence when Kaylee was sick. We were always taking her to the doctor and I was helping to take care of my grandson. This job has given me the freedom to do that," said Edgehouse.
So she is still snipping away with those scissors and making her customers happy and she plans to keep right on going for years to come. Kim Edgehouse can be reached by calling 381-2976.

FN Weekend Open Thread - News and Suggestions
Kent Wilson
September 01 2012 10:22AM
Im sharing the Three Flames Fans video for a couple reasons: firstly, because it's well done, so deserves to be shared. Secondly, because I've talked to the man behind TFF, Jared Keeso, and he's interested in potentially partnering up with FlamesNation for similar project down the road. How does htat sound folks?
Speaking of additions...
As always I've been looking for ways to improve the site over the summer. Ryan Pike, Justin Azevedo and Arik James have all added their voices to the mix recently, but I think there's always room for more. That's why we're glad to announce the addition of Book of Loob to FlamesNation, starting this month!
BoL emailed me at some point in the past, essentially saying he was sick of my negativity, dry analysis and references to numbers nobody knows or cares about. I invited him to try to do better...IF HE COULD.
So here we are. BoL brings a sort of humor and unending loyalty to the team that doesn't descend into maudlin sentiment or blind apologisia. Also, his favorite player is Hakan Loob, so you can't go wrong there*.
*(Related...did you know Hakan Loob is apparently on twitter ?)
You can expect BoL's debut post sometime next week. Make sure to give him a warm welcome (and then needle him mercilessly ever after).
- FN is currently negotiating another big addition to the site. I can't quite announce who it is yet because we're still dotting the "i's" and such, but I can say it is going to happen and he will bring things to the table no one else currently does here. Stay tuned...
Two Minutes Hate
I am considering adding a few more feature articles to FN as well: the Two Minutes Hate and the weekly mailbag...
The Two Minutes Hate would be a profile of past and current enemies of the Calgary Flames - be it ex-players who demanded trades (Tim Erixon) or were just plain bad (Anders Eriksson), ex-executives who did damage to the franchise in some unforgivable way (Doug Risebrough) or opposing players/coaches/media personalities we all love to hate in Calgary (Matt Cooke, Jarko Ruutu, etc.) - the Two Minutes will be a way we can all take out whatever frustrations or anxieties that come from cheering for the Flames and direct it at some outside, but wholly deserving entity.
The weekly mailbag would be just as it sounds - everyone here at FN would take email questions/suggestions and riff on them once a week. Some folks have already taken to emailing me stuff like that from time to time and the comments kind of operate in this fashion at times as well. Still, I wonder if we formalized the process into regular a feature article if folks would be interested in both reading and emailing in pertinent questions and such.
If one or both of those ideas appeal to anyone, please let me know in the open thread today. As always, I'm open to other ideas as well.
Apparently No one likes Sven Baertschi. Or Free Booze.
Finally, I want to announce an extension to the Kids Are Alright photoshop contest. Submissions have been slow to arrive so instead of canceling the contest outright, I plan to extend it indefinitely until we get enough entries to make it worthwhile. There's a $150 in free food and booze at stake here folks, so get on it!
PS - You will notice some McKeen's Hockey banners popping up around here and across the network starting today. We'll have another announcement about that within the week.
Wasn't that girl in an episode of Psych?
September 01 2012, 11:22AM
I knew I recognized Keeso from somewhere. He was the guy that played Don Cherry in the CBC mini series that they did, "Keep your head up kid". He would be a lot of fun to work with down the road.
Come on guys... Get those photoshops in to Kent. I don't want to see "The Big Jankowski" go to waste... That or I'll just tell Kent to give me the prize :-)
It's all your fault Bubba!!
Interested to see this big addition to this site. I know everyone probably thought it was me but that is not the case! Hahahaha, kidding.
Kent, what are you gonna right about till November?? This lockout thing is brutal!
September 01 2012, 12:46PM
In the event of a lock-out, I'll probably visit Abbotsford for a week or so and report back.
I'm also going to be at the rink fairly regularly doing prospect scouting for The Hockey Writers, which also gives me time to check out the Flames prospects in the Dub.
Not to mention constantly calling around to see how the kids in Europe, the NCAA, the OHL and the QMJHL are doing.
We could fill this entire page with minor pro and junior updates and still have things we're not covering.
September 01 2012, 02:59PM
I have no doubt you guys will keep us entertained during the lockout, Ryan. I don't think we will be without NHL hockey the whole season again. My optimistic guess would be mid to late November. maybe cut down to a 60 or so game season. I wouldn't mind seeing the other smaller leagues get a boost in ratings though. Do you guys know if any cable networks cover NCAA hockey? I would love to see The Big Jankowski, Gudreau and co. in action this season
September 01 2012, 03:49PM
Hey...I never authorized this.
September 01 2012, 04:33PM
The CBS Sports Network carried a few BC games last season. I've yet to see a schedule for them yet, though.
They SHOULD be carrying the Frozen Four in April, though.
September 01 2012, 05:02PM
@Ryan Pike
Cheers man. I'll keep my eyes open
September 01 2012, 05:07PM
@Kent Wilson
Aw shucks :(
September 01 2012, 09:24PM
September 02 2012, 05:04PM
Oh hey guys
September 02 2012, 06:51PM

Just so you know, I'm available tuesdays and thursday nights for your required rookie dinner buy. Kent did mention that right?
Yup.. That's a given. I'm good for those days as well.

September 03 2012, 08:34PM

Did You Know? Countdown to Rosh Hashanah (09/23)
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures & Folklore
About Rosh Hashanah &
the Jewish High Holy Days
Sept 23 : 05 days to Rosh Hashanah*
Did you know that a shofar, the world's oldest wind instrument, is ritually blown on Rosh Hashanah?
The piercing sound of the shofar*, which is made from a hollowed out ram's horn, serves as a clarion call to worshippers to repent. It is the one musical instrument that has not changed in over 5,000 years.
(*Come Blow our Horn! Welcome in the High Holy Days by blowing our shofar!)
Rosh Hashanah begins a 10 day period, known as the High Holy Days or Yamim Nora'im, a time of penitence and prayer that ends with Yom Kippur. Jews worldwide are given these 10 days to repent for their sins and ask G-d for forgiveness.
We'll be presenting a new "Did You Know?" fact each day as we countdown to Rosh Hashanah and the Jewish High Holy Days. Please join us!
*Rosh Hashanah 5772 begins at sundown on Wednesday September 28, 2011.

|Check-in before
We were happy to share this appartment well-located in Manhattan. We can visit most of touristic place by walk. The metro station is 2 minutes walk from the place. Only we couldn't put the air conditionning on during the night because the system was too noisy. There were 2 bedrooms confortable with all the necessary and the appartment was clean.
Staying at this appartement is really great. It is located very centrally (restaurants, shops, metro station in walking distance) and has the perfect size to host 2 couples. I definitely recommend the appartement.
Ottima la posizione dell'appartamento, centrale e vicino alla stazione della mestropolitana. Buone le condizioni di pulizia.......un po' troppo piccole le camere da letto!
silvia efrati
Appartement très bien situé à proximité du métro et des points d'intérêt. Surface plutôt bien agencée. En revanche, il est très bruyant, mais comme pratiquement tous les logements de NYC. On entend la rue des chambres.
The rented apartment, advertized on the platform wimdu.de as "Luxus-LOFT 3 Schlafzimmer, 2 Bäder – Ausstattung" ("Luxury LOFT 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths – Equiped") had several serious defects and deviations from the published specifications. The use of the apartment as described in the ad was not possible, leading to additional unplanned costs and expenses. As per the terms and conditions, all problems were promptly reported and well documented by photographs.
The shortcomings in detail:
• Severe uncleanliness (including bed sheets, towels, bathroom, kitchen, refrigerator, floors) and other serious hygiene issues throughout the entire apartment
• No Wi-Fi or Internet access, a direct deviation from the terms of reference in your ad
• Toilet was broken/defective – the tank ran constantly
• Air conditioning unit did not work (it was masked)
• Soiled linens and bedding
• One of the bedrooms had no bedding whatsoever (due to the low temperatures it was not possible to stay overnight)
• Soiled towels
• Dirty, foul-smelling refrigerator – completely non-usable
• Non-usable cabinets (misconstruction)
• Dirty floors throughout the apartment and in particular the bathrooms
• Dirty windows
• The trash was never emptied
• There were defective doorknobs which would fall out of the door
• There was no laundry detergent
• The clocks were defective
• TVs did not work – all four of them
No promised on-site support was received from you as the responsible US agency. No support was received at any time, no action was taken to address any of the shortcomings. A selection of the submitted photographs can be found in the appendix to my e-mail.
Never again!
Windu is the most expensive website to rent an apartment on the face of the earth. Based on an email sent by CityKit (Management Company of the property) the actual cost of the apartment was $2001.00 for 7 days but we paid to Windu 2,421.21. This means 420 (20%) commission. Making this type of commission could be typical in the industry but letting the client to find out about it is very unprofessional. Hiding key information like the location of the apartment is no very professional either (third floor without elevator) Later we realized the apartment was in poor shape and not properly maintained, CityKit totally ignored our request for simple things missing like extra cover and linen for the sofa bed or to send a technician to fix a huge leak on the bathroom sink. Definitely I won't recommend Wimdu to a friend.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Great location, but it is not really a 1BR apartment, It's a very small place, well locatedand clean. But when you add in all the costs (e.g. Wimdu booking fee) and hassle (driving back and forth to guest services for the key, TV not working) you wonder if it would have been more convenient to stay in a hotel.
Had a great stay in this apt. Everything went smooth, picking up the keys and finding the apt. It was clean and has everything you possibly need. Don't forget to take earplugs :) It's on the second floor, so you're right in the middle of all the sounds from the city. Been here with 4 adults and it's big enough. Location was great, subway just 3 blocks down, grocerystore around the corner... Would stay here again

U.S. Forest Service Hosts Visitors from the Jewish National Fund to Discuss Resource Management
In the late 1980s, Israel experienced one of its worst fire seasons ever. Devastating blazes ravaged the forested corridor between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The U.S. Forest Service responded by sending a technical team to assess the damage and subsequently recommended future mitigation and management strategies. Thus, a cooperative exchange program between the Jewish National Fund/Keren Kayemeth Leisrael (JNF-KKL) and the U.S. Forest Service was born.
Earlier this fall, a team from the Forest Service's Rocky Mountain Region, headed by Deputy Regional Forester Maribeth Gustafson, hosted a small group of guests from Israel. They included Minister of the Environment Amir Peretz; David Leffler, director general from the Ministry of Environmental Protection; Efi Stenzler, the JNF-KKL World Chairman; David Brand, the KKL Chief Forester, and four other staff members.

After lengthy debate on the bill and more than 10 proposed amendments, the U.S. Senate agreed today to vote May 6 on the Marketplace Fairness Act, which would broadly expand the number of Internet and catalog retailers required to collect sales tax.
The May 6 vote, coming on the Senate's first day after next week's recess, will need only a majority vote, or 51 if all 100 senators vote, says a spokeswoman for Senator Dick Durbin (D, IL), one of the bill's sponsors.
Senators today voted 63-30 to end debate on the bill and to include only one amendment, which Durbin and co-sponsor Mike Enzi (R, WY) put forth. Their amendment basically inserts a few technical changes into the bill to ensure that it has correct legal language, Durbin's office says. By voting to end debate on the bill, the Senate removed the possibility of a fillibuster to block consideration of the measure, which would have required at least 60 votes to end.
If enacted into law, the Marketplace Fairness Act would overturn existing federal law by allowing states to require Internet and catalog retailers to collect sales tax in states where they have no physical presence, such as stores or distribution centers. The bill applies to retailers with $1 million or more in remote online sales, or sales in states where they have no physical presence.
With the bill only requiring a majority vote to pass, its chance of winning approval in the Senate appears excellent, because three-quarters of the Senate has already expressed support for the bill, says a spokesman for the National Retail Federation, a trade group that represents retail chains. The NRF, along with No. 1 online retailer Amazon.com Inc., is a big supporter of the legislation. The Senate voted 75-24 last month to support the bill in a non-binding resolution, and voted 74-20 on Monday to proceed with debate this week. The Obama Administration also came out in support of the bill on Monday.
But opponents of the bill, including NetChoice, which represents eBay Inc., Overstock.com Inc. and other web retailers, say the legislation may face a tougher road in the House of Representatives. Overstock is No. 27 and Amazon.com is No. 1 in the Internet Retailer Top 500. (more on the Top 500
