Toulouse host fellow former champions Leicester Tigers in the biggest clash of the opening weekend of the Heineken Cup.
Toulouse host fellow former champions Leicester Tigers in the biggest clash of the opening weekend of the Heineken Cup on Sunday.
There's no harder place to begin the Heineken Cup trail than in Toulouse this weekend, says Tigers director of rugby Richard Cockerill, who spent two years as a player in France.
"They're historically the best club in France, they're the most successful team in Europe, and there's not a harder place to go so, we've got to be right," said Cockerill, who has been with Tigers in each of the club's five visits to a European final.
"It's the unique nature of the Heineken Cup to go to places like Toulouse and have two good sides playing each other in the first round.
"The pool stages are not a procession -you have to perform really well from day one.
"This could be the kind of fixture to grace a quarter-final or semi-final."
Toulouse academy graduate Gael Fickou will make his European debut at inside centre for the four-time champions. Clement Poitrenaud returns to the full-back berth meaning Yoann Huget shifts to left wing.
Pumas lock Patricio Albacete returns from international duty in the Rugby Championship and comes in on the bench. Veteran French international centre Yannick Jauzion is on the bench but will undergo a fitness test on matchday.
For Leicester, Steve Mafi and Scott Hamilton are both included in the starting XV on their return from injury.
Flanker Mafi and full-back Hamilton both missed the Aviva Premiership wins over Exeter Chiefs and Sale Sharks, but have returned to fitness in time for the European opener in France this weekend.
Loosehead prop Marcos Ayerza is also included in the Tigers squad for the first time this season on his return from international duty with Argentina.
Vereniki Goneva makes his Heineken Cup debut on the wing as two-time European champions Tigers visit four-time winners Toulouse in Pool 2.
Toulouse coach Guy Novès describes Sunday's match as the one "everyone is waiting for."
"Leicester is a team that has been European champions, champions of England and has experience at least equal to our own, so this will be a match of the highest level," he said.
"It is a match everyone has been waiting for since the start of the season. Anything can happen in this competition as we saw last year when we beat Harlequins away and they came to win in Toulouse."
The teams:
Toulouse: 15 Clement Poitrenaud, 14 Vincent Clerc, 13 Florian Fritz, 12 Gael Fickou, 11 Yoann Huget, 10 Luke McAlister, 9 Jean Marc Doussain, 8 Louis Picamoles, 7 Thierry Dusautoir, 6 Yannick Nyanga, 5 Yoann Maestri, 4 Romain Millo Chlusky, 3 Census Johnston, 2 Gary Botha, 1 Gurthro Steenkamp.
Replacements: 16 Christopher Tolofua, 17 Jean Batiste Poux, 18 Antoine Guillamon, 19 Patricio Albacete, 20 Jean Bouilhou, 21 Yannick Jauzion, 22 Luke Burgess, 23 Timoci Matanavou.
Leicester: 15 Scott Hamilton, 14 Niall Morris, 13 Manu Tuilagi, 12 Anthony Allen, 11 Vereniki Goneva, 10 Toby Flood, 9 Ben Youngs, 8 Jordan Crane, 7 Thomas Waldrom, 6 Steve Mafi, 5 Geoff Parling, 4 Graham Kitchener, 3 Dan Cole, 2 Tom Youngs, 1 Logovi'i Mulipola.

Canada to play for fifth place at NORCECA junior women's volleyball championships
TIJUANA, Mexico – Canada lost its quarterfinal match to the Dominican Republic 25-22, 25-18, 25-22 on Thursday at the 10-country NORCECA (North, Central America and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation) junior women's volleyball championships.
With the loss, the Canadians, represented by the national 18U champions Brandon Tri-Star Storm, will play for fifth place on Saturday. It was the second meeting meting between the two squads in two days. The Dominicans won Wednesday's round robin encounter in four sets.
"It was quite an experience to play the Dominicans again," said right side Samantha Hutcheson. "This time we knew what to expect from them and we came out playing hard and showed a lot of passion. We fought for every point. If we can leave here with fifth place it'll be a big success."
"We battled hard but we couldn't get any runs going," said Canada's head coach Derek Richels. "We had trouble with our serving game but everything else was pretty solid."
This is the first international experience for the Canadian players.
"Their ability to play with these teams has been pretty impressive," said Richels. "They believed from the start that they could compete and have shown that this week."
Meaghan Robertson led the Canadian attack with 12 points including nine on spikes. Lisa Barclay added seven and Erika Buchanan six.
Canada plays the loser of the Mexico-Puerto Rico quarterfinal held later Thursday on Saturday afternoon for fifth spot.

"This is a beautiful shoe. BUT - it is not meant to be worn alot. It is more like a driving shoe. I've had the shoe in black about 4 months to wear to work. The sole is getting worn down already. Also, after you walk in them for a bit, the material at the toe gets permanently creased - making the shoe look worn."

I've noticed that atheists typically enjoy alcohol at least as much as the general population. However, conservatives who are religious drink less on average.
Please, conservative atheists, give your thoughts on alcohol.
Views: 270
I like it!
I drink, but I am careful not to drink too often, usually no more than twice a week. I also make sure not to drink so much that I get a hangover the next day.
Alcohol has been too ingrained in the culture to get rid of even if we wanted to. And yes if abused it can wreck your life, but I would not change the laws on alcohol.
L'alcool au volant
L'alcool est les chiens pisse. Il s'agit d'une drogue mortelle. Il est généralement légal tandis que d'autres moins nocifs drogues récréatives sont illégales. L'alcool est ancré dans notre culture comme la religion. La prochaine génération sera le veux aussi.
I'm glad that in the US the legal drinking age is 21, delaying when you start drinking can lessen the chance of addiction.
My own answer is that I don't drink and think it would be good if drinking were illegal. (For better or for worse, if that were phased in, people probably would turn to other substances rather than home-brew or smuggle as happened during Prohibition.) Recreational drinking is incompatible with my idea of clean, conservative living.
It's all about responsibility.
A lot of people can handle their alcohol, and behave responsibly. They should not be punished because some don't.
Many people won't become abusers of alcohol, but alcohol abuse is underreported. Also, there are subtle negative behaviors that alcohol often leads to, like casual sex. To me, the negatives so outweigh the positives that in theory getting rid of alcohol is clearly the right call.
Joe, my experience has persuaded me that casual sex is better without an alcohol precursor.
I drink very little - maybe one drink a month or less, on the average. Mainly because I don't care for the taste of it, and I don't like being drunk - it makes me stupid and slow-witted - why would I want that?
I suppose the world would be a bit better place if alcohol didn't exist, but it does, so we'll just have to deal with it. There's no way to get rid of it, so we'll have to work on teaching people how to avoid having it screw up their lives.

Arvada residents will not see water surcharges on their bills until at least July 1.
Due to unexpected moisture received over the last two months, the city of Arvada and Denver Water have postponed the surcharges.
Over the next month, the runoff and reservoir levels will continue to be monitored and evaluated. If water conditions improve, the surcharges may be postponed further or lifted.
If surcharges do go into effect July 1, bills included in the surcharge would include water used by customers in May and June.
Water restrictions do remain in effect.
For more information regarding restrictions, possible surcharges and the drought, visit www.ArvadaDrought.org.
The city of Arvada is hosting a community information session and open house June 6 regarding a communications tower replacement.
The information session begins at 6 p.m. at United Methodist Church, 6750 Carr St. in Arvada.
The city of Arvada and Arvada Fire Protection District are replacing the communications tower at Dover Way and W. 68th Place with a new tower of the same height as the organizations upgrade their public safety radio system.
The current tower is enervated and isn't capable of safely supporting antennas for an upgraded system.
Arvada Chief of Police Don Wick will discuss the project during a short information session; following his presentation, representatives from the Arvada Police Department, Arvada Fire Protection District, Sabre Industries and Harris will be available for questions during the open house.
Water flows in the fountain in Olde Town Square will return this summer.
The city of Arvada is working with Denver Water to reduce its overall water use in parks and public places during the current stage two drought happening across the state.
By making cuts across the system, the city expects to exceed its goal of 20 percent water use reduction this summer, allowing for the fountain in Olde Town Square to be turned on again.
The fountain will begin operating after crews complete their annual maintenance to the system, said Arvada Communications Manager Wendy Forbes. The fountain is expected to be running no later than Friday, June 7.
Daily fountain times are 9-11 a.m., 12-2 p.m., 4-6 p.m. and 8-10 p.m.
The fountain be in operation through Sept. 30, and typically began operation May 1.
This year's shortened operating season helps reduce water usage.

The Bureau of Land Management Resource Advisory Council met in Castle Dale on May 2. They began their tour of the area on May 1 where they were taken by bus into Nine Mile Canyon.
Selma Sierra, the state BLM director spoke to the RAC and gave them an update. Utah has 11 BLM offices and as the BLM moves into the future some of these individual offices may be streamlined into district offices. Sierra said the BLM will work together to become more unified at the state level as sometimes procedures differ from office to office.
Some field offices have too much individual autonomy. In the future the field offices will work more as a team. As more consolidation takes place then resources can be pooled and coordination could take place with NEPA and other work the BLM performs. Sierra said she wants more focus on field activities. The BLM doesn't want to lose all of their human resources division to out of state. She suggested they look at what the forest service did with their Albuquerque office which could be helpful.
If any of the IT services move to Denver, the state BLM still needs to make sure they have what they need to function. There could be more remote location activity, but reports may be made to Denver.
One RAC member expressed concern that a local presence will be missing from the communities the BLM serves if functions are consolidated out of state. Communities where leadership roles shift are sometimes left with a loss of community, leadership and control.
Sierra said they are working to keep that connection and field managers will stay in close touch with local communities. She as the state director will also structure visits with district and field offices. She said a broader scope sometimes is easier to work through on some issues. She assured everyone that when she is gone on business at a regional level that the Deputy Director Jeff Rawson who has great technical skills will handle things at her absence. He will be more involved in the day to day operations as she travels to visit communities and field offices. She has been to Vernal, Fillmore, Kanab, Price and St. George with plans to visit Cedar City and St. George again in the near future.
One RAC member saw folly in making all of the offices too much the same and 'super-streamlining' could cause problems as each field office has different problems and decisions to make.
Sierra didn't see that as too much of a problem, because individual field offices will report to a field director. She also said that every Monday morning all of the field managers have a conference call with her. She doesn't want to see those good communication avenues lost. She said as they go through the budget process they will keep these things in mind. There are several options on the table right now and Washington has given the BLM two years for implementation.
RAC members include: Carl Albrecht, Norm Carroll, Mike Jenkins, Lowell Braxton, Ray Bloxham, Ashley Korenblat, Riley Cutler, Jerry Spangler, Gordon Topham, Emery County Commissioner Drew Sitterud, Fee Busby, Tom Clawson, Lynn Stevens and Manuel Morgan.

Why Math?
posted on April 14th, 2011
Ah, the question Ive heard countless times since I decided to pursue a math major at UCLA many moons ago
But youre an actress, why on earth would you want to study math?
Good question, especially considering the fact that I had struggled with math in middle school to the point of nightly tears![1] Sure, things improved after I was lucky enough to get some great teachers, but really? A math major?
Here's how it happened: I graduated from high school and the The Wonder Years within a few months of each other. It had been a great time in my life, but I was ready for a new chapter I was going to college and figured Id learn the behind-the-camera crafts of screenwriting and directing at UCLA's film school. A fresh, new start! Right? Wrong.
Everywhere I went, people recognized me and often called out across campus, Hey Winnie, wheres Kevin? At a time in life when most people (including me!) are trying to figure out their identity, I felt like I was stuck in mine and it wasnt even my identity, but that of a fictional character! I just needed to know who I was outside of that show, yknow?
In the meantime, I decided to face my middle school demons and take a math class to fulfill a general requirement. And not just any math class - Multivariable Calculus. I'd always liked a good challenge, and I figured I'd go for it and just hope for the best.
To my surprise, I really "got" the material - with tons of studying of course - and even shot to the top of the class after the first midterm. I earned the attention and praise from math professors throughout the department (many of whom didnt own a television) and I was having fun. I abandoned the film major plan, and switched to math. I became a calculus tutor in the department, and at least in the halls of the UCLA math department, I went from that girl on TV to that girl who helped me pass calculus.
I felt the empowerment of the confidence that comes from feeling smart and capable stuff having nothing to do with the glamour of Hollywood - and I was hooked. I liked the new identity I was building for myself; it felt good on the inside. As a bonus, getting recognized on the street became really entertaining, as when people would ask, So what are you up to now? the answer of pursuing a math degree always promised a fun reaction.
That newfound confidence taught me a big lesson: Being smart is something you can build for yourself. Investing that time and effort in something like math actually strengthens your brain and internal fortitude, making you smarter and more confident in all areas. And that kind of true confidence from within is a gift you give yourself that no-one else can give you... and no-one else can take away from you. Ever.
That's why I chose math, and why I encourage others not to run away from math - especially teenage girls.
The truth is, all teenagers struggle like I did. You dont have to be on TV to feel the pressures of trying to figure out who you are while surrounded by a world of negative messages that tell girls their only true value is how attractive they are (whether in Hollywood or not). And math is the best way I've found to combat those omnipresent messages, by building true confidence and strength from the inside.
This of course is why I've written math books for tween/teen girls, to fight the unfair stereotyping that conspires to hold them back. While breaking down math concepts, I tell girls: "You don't have to choose between being smart and being fun & fabulous. In fact, they work great together. And math is going to build up your brain and your confidence, and I'll make it fun and entertaining to do!"
I love all the emails I get from girls, telling me how I've changed their whole outlook on math, and of course helped them improve their test scores (sometimes literally overnight!)
It feels great to come full circle, from the 12-year-old girl crying over her math homework, to an insecure 18-year-old child star searching for an identity, and finally to a grown woman with the power - through my books - to help girls going through the same stuff.
I'm so very grateful for this journey!

I'm honestly pretty psyched about buying some of your books. I've always bought into that, \I use a different part of my brain that was more geared toward English than the other side with Math\". I don't know. I don't NEED to learn math to finish a class

She has a diagnosed learning disability and I need to see if your work might be applicable to her at her age.

Thank you for your books and the blog. I teach pre-service teachers who will teach middle and high school math. We use the books in class and I will have them read the blog, too. I wish I had your books when my daughters were at that vulnerable age. Although I was giving them much the same message, it would have had much more significance coming from you than from Mom.

Well, I wroted this on Facebook, but I would like share it again. My relation with Maths (in some aspects) was similar to yours. I was very good at Maths at elementary school but at secondary I had a bad teacher. He filled the blackboard with strange formulas. Maths became more and more abstract. I wished to study Computer Science at University and I had also to face my demons (it wasn't an optional but a compulsory need if you wanted to survive there). But I had no a \good teacher\". I had to use my own middle school maths books to refresh all my skills. I had some luck because I owned an encyclopedia. One of the books was dedicated to Maths

First. I shall point out that I am a male. I looooove science and math. Both of these transcend mankind. While we have managed to control many things, many, many more science and math things control us. Both have shaped everything that has allowed us to come to exist and be able to think and reason. Whenever I am reading a book about quaternions or telemeres or dynamic programming or error detection / correcton, etc. I feel like I am home and as if I am doing the universe an honor by trying to learn about it. Both science and math allows me to rise above some repulsive human BS that I see happening all over the news. I think that a lot of people are bored to death to the point of destructive behavior and need to be engaged in something other than daytime talkshow style human drama to find some peace. Science and math studies can help with this. Ummm. Plus, science / math / computer programming / .etc pay well. This means I don't have all of the worries and stresses that a person working in retail would have.

That is a good story. I have a daughter who is just finishing up the third grade. She has done very well in math so far and they are covering what is probably mid 4th grade material. But story problems kind of threw her for a loop and she lost some of her confidence. I happen to love math, so coaching her back to the confidence level she was before was great. But it was tough because she put so much pressure on herself despite my efforts to keep it as fun as possible. Eventually we got there, and she is much more comfortable with word problems. I just want her to have the confidence to take on any challenge in math. I plan to have her read your books when she gets a little bit older. You will serve as a good role model for her. Thanks for setting a great example for all students, but especially young girls.

Danica; In grammer school I had a lot of problems with math also, it wasn't until second year H.S that I discovered my talent. I think your books on math are something more people should bring to this world, a lot of math learning ability is tied to fear. Great acting changes the world, but you have changed it in another way, which is great. One of your greatest acting talent is your facial expressions. Your one of the few actors that have this quality. If you notice in a lot of your moviies, especially the LMN movies the camera operator will film you not talking for longer periods of time then any other actors in the movie. Your facial expressions are very analytical and meaningfull, Do you think that you always had the mathmatical talent all along. Chevy57

Thank you Danica for that very special & intimate insight into your world. It is quite out of the ordinary to read a successful actor describe themselves as honestly as that! In the cut-throat industry that you are involved in it is all perfection, perfection, perfection like you say.
I am involved in a movement (I'm very much on the fringe, I don't think I would ever be considered for recruitment) that elaborate on the concepts that you speak of: (ps, this movements first Grand Master was Pythagoras!! This is the reason I am badgering you with this topic)
This is an extract of one of their articles:
"In women's magazines there's never a word about science, history, economics, politics, philosophy, religion, technology. Conspiracy theories are never mentioned. Women's magazines are all about physical appearance, fashion, gossip and celebrities. Who's fat, who's thin, who's pretty, who's ugly, who's wearing what, who's up, who's down, who are the new stars, what are the old stars doing? Women's magazines are the sanctification of trivia. They are devoid of intelligent thought. Sex and the City - one of the most popular women's TV shows of recent years - is a story of career women with expensive shoes. That's it! They moan about men, but are obsessed with getting Mr Right. After decades of feminism, women are still locked in the frivolous, intellectually sterile world of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, published almost two hundred years ago."

Don't let the title fool you, it's not about conspiracy theories! I don't know why they chose that URL name.

Leinster booked themselves into their second final of 2011/12 after beating Glasgow 19-15 in their PRO12 semi at the RDS on Saturday.
Leinster booked themselves into their second final of 2011/12 after beating Glasgow 19-15 in the RaboDirect PRO12 semi at the RDS on Saturday.
Jonathan Sexton kicked three first-half penalties to Duncan Weir's one as the hosts opened up a six-point lead at the break.
Sexton added another three-pointer in the second period before Dave Kearney's converted try confirmed their place in the final where they will play the Ospreys.
Dougie Hall and Stuart Hogg went over late on for the visitors, but it proved to be mere consolation.
The Irish province went in as heavy favourites and they justified that tag early on, playing with a high tempo and looking to run the ball from deep. Their initial ambition was rewarded through a long-range Sexton penalty.
But Glasgow gradually grew into the game and Weir levelled the scores from the tee. It was the hosts who were next to threaten.
Although the visitors' defence was valiant, when Leinster were in control of the ball, the Warriors ultimately struggled to contain their wide, expansive game. And Leinster's fly-half kicked a second three-pointer to take them into the lead.
By now, the Irish outfit's power and creativity was starting to tell. Glasgow's Alex Dunbar was sin-binned for a cynical infringement close to his own line, but a combination of superb rearguard action and inaccurate Leinster attack saw the Scottish side hold out. However, Sexton added a penalty late in the half as the hosts took a 9-3 lead into the interval.
The visitors started the second period brightly, but Weir was profligate with two three-point opportunities.
They were punished when the home team's fly-half kicked a penalty of his own before the Irish province effectively sealed the victory when Kearney touched down.
Although Hall and Hogg went in late on, Ruaridh Jackson converting the latter, Leinster comfortably booked their place in the final.

Comments: weed guard is extremely soft on these jigs so they tend to hang up easily in wood IMO. Would probably better as a swim jig than a heavy cover jig
From: Jordan: RI
Comments: Ever since my introduction to these jigs, I have been Hooked. The Sick paint Jobs with awsome skirt color combinations make these jigs stand out alone! Not to mention the bone crushing hook, massive trailer keeper barb and an industry best recessed line tie. If you look even closer at these jigs, you will notice that the lead is shaped in a way that when the when a fish takes the jig, on hook set the lead forces the brush guard and hook into the roof of the mouth to get solid hooksets in the sweet spot. #1 Jig in my book. Also check out their sweet line of Spinner Baits for even more impressive features.
From: Matt: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Comments: Ever since I started fishing these jigs back about 5-6 years ago, I've started catching so many more fish that it can't be a coincidence. The jig works great in wood and grass. The colors are awesome. The finish is hard to damage. If you are fishing a lot of rock you should check out their football head jigs. The triangle shaped head while great for wood and grass will hand up a little more in the rocks.
From: Marlin: Austin, TX
Comments: We fish the delta almost every weekend and have tried many jigs. The skirt quality and jighead are a perfect combo. When the jig falls, it falls at an angle and sits on the bottom with the hook rising at angle also. You can say that this jig falls and works truly like a crawdad. Us Cali Delta fisherman love using crawdaddy imitations and I would highly recommend this jig. Stop trying it and use it.

Comments: Best jig on the market for fallen trees and brush, not so good in weeds.
From: Miles: Oregon, USA
Comments:This is the only flipping jig I buy. Skirts are lively and the perfect length to leave or trim; very strong, reliable hook; weed guard is thick and able to be trimmed or left alone in especially thick cover. Recessed line tie is terrific coming thru cover; jig will sometimes roll over in small rock but no more than other similar style flippin jigs. Best in/around grass and likewise for wood/laydowns.
From:Anthony: Connecticut, USA

(This story will continue to be updated as more information becomes available.)
The Social Security Administration announced Wednesday morning that the cost-of- living adjustment, or COLA, will rise 1.5 percent in 2014.
The increase is among the smallest since automatic adjustments were adopted in 1975.
The COLA affects benefits for more than one-fifth of the country, including millions of disabled veterans, federal retirees and people who get Supplemental Security Income, the disability program for the poor.
Hiring freeze result of Trump team's review of federal agencies
Hiring freeze result of Trump team's review of federal agencies
The announcement had been scheduled for two weeks ago. It was delayed because the Bureau of Labor Statistics did not issue the inflation report for September during the partial government shutdown.
Since 1975, annual Social Security raises have averaged just over 4 percent. Next year will mark only the seventh time the COLA has been less than 2 percent, including three of the past five years. This year's increase was 1.7 percent. There was no COLA in 2010 or 2011 because inflation was too low.
The COLA is based on a government measure of inflation that was also released Wednesday. The 2014 increase is small because consumer prices, as measured by the government, haven't gone up much in the past year.
The relatively low increase is prompting some federal retiree groups to speak out against the chained CPI formula for calculating the COLA.
"The announcement is a reminder that our method for calculating the rising cost of goods and services is out of sync with the reality faced by millions of federal retirees, Social Security recipients and military retirees, who spend more than twice as much on medical care than the population measured by the CPI-W formula," Joseph A. Beaudoin, president of the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association said in a statement. "While the present formula isn't perfect, a proposed switch to the Chained CPI would only make a bad situation worse."
By law, the cost-of-living adjustment is based on the consumer price index for urban wage earners and clerical workers, a broad measure of consumer prices generated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It measures price changes for food, housing, clothing, transportation, energy, medical care, recreation and education.
The COLA is calculated by comparing consumer prices in July, August and September each year to prices in the same three months from the previous year. If prices go up over the course of the year, benefits go up, starting with payments delivered in January.
In some years, part of COLA has been erased by an increase in Medicare Part B premiums, which are deducted automatically from Social Security payments. But Medicare announced Monday that Part B premiums, which cover doctor visits, will stay the same in 2014, at $104.90 a month for most seniors.
The report from BLS reveals gasoline prices are down 2.4 percent from a year ago, while food prices are up slightly. Housing costs, meanwhile, went up 2.3 percent, and utilities increased by 3.2 percent.
Medical costs went up less than in previous years but still outpaced some other consumer prices, rising 2.5 percent.
"As members of Congress continue to negotiate a budget, I urge them to consider the CPI-E formula, a more accurate measure of inflation that accounts for health care and other costs facing seniors," Beaudoin said in the statement.
Beginning in January, the maximum amount of earnings subject to the Social Security tax will increase to $117,000 from $113,700. Of the estimated 165 million workers who will pay Social Security taxes in 2014, about 10 million will pay higher taxes as a result of the increase in the taxable maximum.

Chapter 17
Elijah seals the heavens and is fed by the ravens—At his command the barrel of flour and the jar of oil of the widow of Zarephath never become empty—He raises her son from death.
1 And
2 And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,
3 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and
4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
5 So he went and did according unto the word of the Lord: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
7 And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
8 ¶And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,
9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a
10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
11 And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of
12 And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.
14 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth.
15 And she
16 And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by Elijah.
17 ¶And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his
18 And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my
19 And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.
20 And he cried unto the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?
21 And he
22 And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he
23 And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy
24 ¶And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in thy mouth is truth.

By PHIL FAUVERStaff Writer
The students of Cottonwood Elementary School premiered the musical motion picture "SNAP, Walk'n Roll" at the assembly March 20. This is a new film about walking and biking safely to school presented by the Utah Department of Transportation, Student Neighborhood Access Program (SNAP). Cottonwood Elementary was one of eight schools in Utah selected to participate in this program, because of the walking and biking route map submitted to UDOT by Dennis Jones, principal.
To kick off this premier event, Cottonwood Elementary students joined with parents, school officials and UDOT representatives in the school gymnasium by walking down a "red carpet" aisle and signing a pledge to walk and bike safely. Cherissa Wood, Utah Safe Routes to School Coordinator presented the SNAP program after being introduced by Principal Jones. Wood said "We have a fun assembly planned for you today. We are going to learn about being safe while walking and biking to school. During the assembly, you're going to learn about a SNAP map. A SNAP map is a map that shows you the safest way to walk and bike to school. Your school has a SNAP map and we will give each of you a copy."
Walking and biking is a perfect way to get to school. It gets cars off the road and getting exercise helps your mind feel awake. Plus, walking and biking is a great way to spend time with your friends.
Wood said, "Today, you get to be the first kids in your city, county, and the entire school district to see the brand new "SNAP, Walk 'n Roll" movie. That is so awesome."
The SNAP, Walk 'n Roll: The Movie is a free, 30 minute film that employs original, upbeat music and an energetic four-member SNAP team to teach traffic signs and signals, the importance of following the safest routes on a school's SNAP map, and how to be safe around construction when walking or biking to school.
UDOT SNAP's goal is to improve the safety of students walking and biking to school. Parents can help their children practice safe walking and biking habits by demonstrating and discussing the following safety tips.
Follow the safest route to school. Use the school's SNAP map. Walk with a buddy or group. Walk on sidewalks where possible. Look left, then right, then left again when crossing a street. Cross only at crosswalks. Obey directions from school crossing guards, and walk bikes and scooters across crosswalks. Always wear a helmet when riding a bike or scooter. Make sure the helmet has a safety certification and fits properly. Wear bright clothing, especially when riding a bicycle or scooter to make it easier for the traffic to see you--or tie a bright handkerchief around your backpack.
Never walk or ride with headphones. They are distracting and keep you from hearing traffic.
Principal Jones said, "We are thrilled to be one of eight schools in the state selected by SNAP to premiere this new educational resource, which is designed to encourage students statewide to walk and bike safely to school. The benefits of developing these habits go a long way. When more students walk and bike to school, there will be less traffic congestion, making the roads around our school safer. Additionally, studies have shown that students who participate in this healthy activity perform better in school and have more energy for learning. Our school has a SNAP map available for you and your parents so you can know the safest way to travel to and from school. We will give each of you a copy."
The students then signed a pledge to walk and bike safely to school. The coordinators for this program were: Cherissa Wood, the Utah Safe Routes to School Coordinator. Krista Meeks, an Intrepid Public Relations Agency Representative. Dani Tuttle, of the Parent Teachers Association; Dennis Jones, Principal.

These shoes aren't made for walkin'
"I got these to take on vacation thinking jellies would be comfy, plus they're cute. They are murder on your feet if you walk any sort of distance. If you are going from the car to restaurant or something, they are fine. Do not plan a shopping trip in these. Also, since they are clear, you can see the dirty bottoms right thru. They are a cute flip flop and seem to be made sturdy."

Pretty Flip Flops
"These are so pretty. The cute little shiny starfish detail is simple and stylish. The flip flop is barely noticeable on the foot, which is exactly what I was looking for. This is my second day wearing them and they feel great. However, the sole is very thin and there is no support, it doesn't bother me at all, just feels like I'm almost barefoot, which is great for me. :)"

Poor quality
"Looking at the boot, they seemed fine. The quality was just not what I was expecting. My son scuffed them up beyond repair on the first wear. The top layer of material (it can't be leather) peeled off and it can't be filled in with shoe polish. Complete waste of money. Just avoid them."

"I bought these boots for my stepson and he absolutely loves them! He wants to wear them all day everyday! I will most likely end up getting him the camo pair as well. They were a fabulous price and they look great with lots of different clothes. The only complaint is that he can sometimes complain about them hurting his feet after a long period of walking but since this is his first pair of boots it may change later once he breaks them in.

Medium Scamp Table
by Blu Dot
At A Glance:
Coffee table, end table, occasional table. The Scamp Table has been called many things, but the descriptor that seems to stick best is "eye-catching." The Medium Scamp Table's powder-coated steel base provides a look that's interesting without being overbearing, a rare feat in this distracted world ... squirrel!
The Scamp Table also comes in a small version and a large version.
What's To Like:
The power of choice. With three base and top options (mix-n-match), you're sure to find a look that's perfect for a room of any motif. And three sizes! Oh, how we could use these in our house ...
What's Not to Like:
Your child, with the awesome power of imagination, will turn this table into an object of play - and that could prove dangerous for table and child both. Scamp plays best with adults.
The Bottom Line:
If you are easily entranced by color, you probably know what's coming: the Scamp Table is super fun. Blu Dot loves to have a good time, and this occasional table is just one more piece of evidence in the mounting case against them. Guilty of provoking smiles.
- Overall dimensions: 18" h x 22.2" w x 22.2" d
- Tempered glass, honed marble or oak top
- Powder-coated steel or copper on steel base
- Works great as a coffee table or side table
- Also see the Small Scamp Table and Large Scamp Table

Wilmington, NC and Our Island Beaches
Heed the Call of the Water
From the historic river district and Riverwalk that winds around the storied Cape Fear River to three colorful island beaches, there's something about the water here in Wilmington, N.C. and our beach towns, Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, and Wrightsville Beach, that speaks, surrounds and transforms visitors. As North Carolina's most accessible coastal destination, the area's location, natural beauty, culture and history all charm visitors and residents alike making it the ideal place to let go, give in and get away for a vacation or weekend.
One destination and four unique settings . . . from the river to sea . . . create a bounty of extraordinary experiences.
The banks of the river embrace a variety of architectural styles and moss-draped live oaks that line the 230-block National Register Historic District, one of the largest in the U.S.
And step foot on a treasure hunt experience in boutiques, eclectic shops and vibrant nightlife venues. Your sensitive side will be fed by stirring theatre productions and the sounds of live music heard while strolling along brick lined streets.
Or you're welcome to sit down at the water's edge, where your palate will be fed - and thirst, quenched - with fresh local seafood and regional specialties at over 40 locally owned restaurants and pubs in downtown Wilmington's historic river district, many featuring live music long after the sun goes down.
Finally, let the water guide you across the river and aboard the Battleship NORTH CAROLINA, where the distinguished services and sacrifices of sailors live on - 70 years later.
Soak up some island time at Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, and Wrightsville Beach – all no more than 25 minutes apart. Find a fresh catch of things to do from beach to boardwalk; exhilarating deep-sea fishing to new aquarium exhibits; birding sites and interactive adventures at renowned Civil War sites, to action-packed watersports and stand up paddleboard tournaments. With so many options for outdoor play both on and off the water and one-of-a-kind festivals and events, each beach offers signature things to see and do and quality time spent with family and friends.
Discover top family-friendly attractions and programs from surf lessons at one of the world's nationally recognized surf destinations to a superhero kid's camp at area resorts. Fly down the 40-foot-tall waterslide or float the lazy river at Jungle Rapids Family Fun Park. Test your skills on arcade games at a beachside boardwalk, nationally recognized as one of the top boardwalks in the country by USA Today. Discover under-the-sea animals at the NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher, voted one of the best aquariums in the U.S. by the Travel Channel. Learn about sea turtles at the new Ocean Front Park.

Shane Jennings leads a young Leinster team for the visit of Connacht with six Ireland internationals in the starting line up.
Shane Jennings leads a young Leinster team for the visit of Connacht with six Ireland internationals in the starting line up.
Amongst them is Fergus McFadden who starts on the right wing in a back three alongside Fionn Carr and full-back Andrew Conway.
Ian Madigan lies in third place in the league's accumulators list with 74 points in 11 PRO12 games so far and he will pair up with Isaac Boss at half back.
In the pack, Heinke van der Merwe is named in the front row alongside Aaron Dundon and Ireland prop Michael Bent, with Devin Toner partnering Ben Marshall at second row. Marshall will make his fifth appearance for the province and is one of four current Academy players or recent Academy graduates in the pack.
Meanwhile, Head Coach Eric Elwood has made four personnel changes to the starting XV as Connacht pursue a season double over the European champions after defeating them 34-6 at the Sportsground in September.
Tomorrow's line-up sees winger Matt Healy earn his first start and cap for the province. The 23-year-old joined Connacht this season and has made a notable impression with the Connacht Eagles whilst competing in the British & Irish cup.
Danie Poolman moves to the right wing and makes way for Eoin Griffin who resumes his centre partnership with Dave McSharry.
In the pack, Denis Buckley is named in the front row alongside Jason Harris-Wright and Nathan White, who captains the side tomorrow. Michael Swift, who returned from injury last week and came off the bench against Munster, will partner George Naoupu in the second row.
Form: Leinster have now slipped to three straight defeats in all competitions, something that's not happened Since May 2010. The Leinstermen are one of only two sides in the RaboDirect PRO12 with a 100% home winning record this season (the other being Ulster). Connacht lost out narrowly (12-16) at home to Munster on Saturday, and have now won just one of their last six PRO12 games: 18-3 at home to Treviso on 3 November. Connacht's only away win against a fellow Irish province in the history of this competition was way back on 13 September 2002: 26-23 against Leinster at Donnybrook. Connacht have already beaten Leinster in the RaboDirect PRO12 this season (34-6 in Galway on 28 September), but have won just once in Dublin since 1985.
Leinster: 15 Andrew Conway, 14 Fergus McFadden, 13 Brendan Macken, 12 Andrew Goodman, 11 Fionn Carr, 10 Ian Madigan, 9 Issac Boss, 8 Jordi Murphy, 7 Shane Jennings (c), 6 Rhys Ruddock, 5 Devin Toner, 4 Ben Marshall, 3 Michael Bent, 2 Aaron Dundon, 1 Heinke van der Merwe.

To make waffle batter ahead, fill storage container half full, cover loosely and refrigerate up to 24 hours; stir down if batter rises to top of container.

|Moral :
|Yar tells Picard at the start of the episode that she has fully reviewed the local laws. Yet Wesley didn't seem to know he wasn't allowed to go into the flowerbed, and nobody knew what the punishments for breaking a law were. Yar comments later on that "they listed nothing about punishment" as a justification for why she didn't know they had a death penalty for breaking any law. Okay, fair enough, they didn't include that in the information they gave her... but we're seriously to believe that she didn't think to ask how the laws were enforced or what the penalties for breaking any of them were?
Why are the Enterprise crew even contacting the Edo at all? They are a pre-warp civilisation, yes? Doesn't the Federation take a very "hands off" approach to those?
|Great Moment :
|Gotta love those Edo costumes.
|Body Count :
|Unfortunately, Wesley is not actually executed and the body count is zero.
|Factoid :
|The Edo "God" seen in this episode is later re-used as the Lysian command centre in "Conundrum".
On the surface, talk turns to law and order. The Starfleet officers are surprised to find that there are virtually no police on the planet - only one area is ever policed at any given time, with the location changed at random intervals. Since nobody knows what area is covered when, even the small number of police that do exist can comfortably police the entire planet. However, Riker is horrified to learn that the automatic penalty for [i]any[/i] crime is death. Wesley, playing with some children nearby, accidentally tresspasses in a forbidden zone and destroys some plants - and the police turn up immediately to enact the penalty. Riker and Yar hold them back from executing Wesley - an action which would have merited the same penalty for them except that the enforced zone has shifted in the meantime - hoping to negotiate some other settlement.
In orbit the unknown presence appears as a huge structure of some sort, possibly a trans-dimensional artefact or intelligence. A small ball of energy emerges from the thing and touches Data, incapacitating him for a time as it shares information with him. He learns that the object regards the Edo as its "children", and is highly protective of them.
Picard manages to convince the Edo not to harm Wesley until nightfall whilst the situation is discussed. He tells them about the object in orbit, only to have them ask if he means god, whom they believe is a powerful being in space. He beams one of the Edo up to view the object, and she confirms that it is indeed god - but the object reacts to their removal of the woman by threatening the ship, and she is quickly returned.
Data suggests that the Edo god object may well judge the Starfleet officers by their own rules, which require them to be judged by the laws on whatever planet they are visiting. Picard, after much thought, decides that Wesley will not be sacrificed and tries to beam him up over the objections of the Edo. When the transporter fails to work the locals angrily proclaim that god will not allow their actions. Picard makes an impassioned plea to whomever might be listening, arguing that justice is more important than simple laws and executing Wesley would not be just. The entity apparently agrees, as it allows them to beam up. Still lacking any definite answers as to the nature of the entity, Picard decides to leave the planet behind.
Interestingly, I find myself a little at odds with the conclusion of the episode. The writers have many times established that Starfleet officers are sworn to uphold the prime directive even if the ship and crew are lost because of it. Picard was once willing to let an entire civilisation die because of it, saying "The Prime Directive is a principle we've all sworn to uphold. Until that is changed, we cannot follow any other course of action." Yet here, he wantonly violates it in order to save a single life. He argues that Justice must take precedence over law - but even if that were true in the Federation, it is not true on the Edo world (and it isn't true in the present day for that matter), and it is Edo law that applies. If Picard is right in his claim then Starfleet needs to abolish the rule that they follow local laws when visiting, and instead declare that they will do so only when the Captain deems it just - and if he doesn't, he can feel free to help the accused to escape the local jurisdiction.

Should Timber Fans Worry?
After earning a draw against Chivas USA, many fans of the Portland Timbers reacted quite negatively to the result. This was the same roster, well with the exception of a few players, that Portland beat three to zero earlier in the season. Should have they though? One could argue that since sacking El Chelis, Chivas has improved their game. The addition of Eric Torres has been one of the changes that has helped them. Another way to argue was this was a positive result. Portland has never walked away with a point against Chivas USA. This was a huge point for them to earn. With the draw, this was the 9th point in 5 games for the Goats. For Portland it was only their 5th. Should Portland fans worry? One word…..Yes
Ok, I know I may take a lot of flack from some of my pals in the Timbers Army. But the numbers do not lie. If we expand Portland's form to 10 games, they have only won three, drew four and lost three. Do the math. That is 13 points in ten games (dating back to the epic home win against LA). Barely getting more than a point per game on average during that stretch has sunk them down to 5th place in the West, the last of the available playoff slots. With all of this said and done, I have one question that has been going through my mind since the game at the Stub Hub Center….what does Portland have to do this Friday against Colorado?
First instinct that comes to mind is they have to win. No more draws. But then when I began to look at Dallas, who is in 6th, there is a three point spread. A draw would prevent losing the playoff outright on points alone but then there is the issue of who Portland plays and the same for Dallas.
As of late, Dallas has been terrible. In round 25, they won their first game since round 13 and since that win against Chivas USA (ironic isn't it) they have only won one of the past three games. For Dallas, this next round, they get to face Thierry Henry and the rest of his team mates from New York. This will be very difficult for Dallas. They not only face a team that has won three straight but are in 1st place in the Eastern Division. So theoretically, Dallas could lose. The game is on the road and NY's current form is pretty darn good. With that said, can Portland afford a draw? Yes….but I would begin to worry.
For Portland, playing Colorado Friday is actually going to be a very important match. Not only are the points going to be absolutely necessary to protect a playoff birth, they have to host the LA Galaxy the following game. Points are crucial not just Friday but on the 29th too. Momentum is necessary to take to the next round. To make the situation involving the Galaxy more interesting, Los Angeles have a Concacaf Champions League game on the 18th and face the Seattle Sounders, in LA, on the 21st. Arena has gone on the record complaining again but I think that is due to his team only getting a few days to prepare for the Sounders. If Portland is able to beat Colorado, which I hope they do, this adds pressure on Arena and his team to win. With that said, this Sounders team is not the same that got blown out earlier this season. Martins is in form, Eddie Johnson is scoring regardless of the kit he is wearing, Lemar Neagle is playing out of his mind…do I need to say more. I know people in LA may say they are not worried at all, but Seattle is the last team I want to face right now. Dempsey is due and with the form of his team mates this could be his break out match. But I digress.
One may ask why would a Timber win add pressure to LA? Simply, Portland could see themselves inch up the table in the conference standings up to 4th with a win and if Seattle can get revenge in LA with a win. If the two draw in the Stub Hub Center with a Portland win, the Timbers and Galaxy are equal in points making the race for the playoffs more interesting. Arena does not want this to occur.
Colorado seem to just be the team that is unbeatable. With only one loss since round 18, they have climbed up to 3rd place in the West. So what are the factors for victory that the teams will be facing?
Colorado got blown out last time they were in Portland. They did not even look like the same team that they are now. With the addition of some new players acquired during the transfer season, Gabriel Torres for example, mixed with the skilled youth on their roster they have really started to play some face paced football similar to Portland. For them, they must control the ball and not make any mental mistakes on defense. The crowd in Portland will be a factor as well. If they can ignore it, which I doubt they will, and focus on their game they will be tough. Clint Irwin will have to play better than last time in Portland. He has had an outstanding season but this game will require him to have his best available.
If they (Colorado) can manage to pull off an upset, Portland has only lost 1 home game, they can be tied for second place if Real Salt Lake loses their match. If they lose, they will share the same number of points with PTFC. So for them, they also want to keep their place towards the top end of the table while keeping space between them and the rest of their rivals below them. Plus with a loss and a win by the Galaxy, Colorado will drop in the table while Landon Donovan and his pals will move up to 3rd.
For Portland I would say similar as I did for Colorado. Possession is key. Not giving away the ball to poor passes is another. The back line needs to hold and not do anything stupid. Communication from Donovan Ricketts is key with Pa Modou Ka. His presence is necessary and he needs to keep a cool head. Will Valeri play a full 90? He changed the flow of the game against Chivas and Toronto when he came in as a sub. How about the forward?. There has to be more shots taken from distance to test Irwin. As of late Darlington Nagbe has been taking longer shots but we are left with the issue of the starting striker. Who will it be? What about Urruti? What is his real role on the team? Is he a sub? A possible starter for the club? What I saw of him against Chivas was mixed. The service was poor to him but he really showed a positive work ethic. His role and those that he shares with at forward is significant. For example, what will Porter do with Ryan Johnson?
Jose Valencia has come on late as someone PTFC fans can trust will be hungry for goals. He is far due for another. His two assists against Toronto are proof that he is not just hungry for goals for himself but for the team as well. But with Johnson, you get a physical presence that is needed inside the box and a work ethic to keep pressure high that is hard to top. Who knows that will be the winning combination for Friday. I want to see what happens with a 442 formation with two strikers. A single striker formation gives Porter more freedom to stack the mid but what if Urruti and Valencia start with Valeri as the set-up man in the center? That may be an interesting combination. Will it happen? Who knows?
When the dust clears after the weekend, fans of Major League Soccer will get a better picture of what lies ahead for the race to the playoffs. Will Portland be in 4th thanks to their rivals from the Emerald City after each team earns decisive wins? Will they stay in 5th? It is hard to tell. But what about Dallas? Should Portland fans worry? I say not yet. Let the games be played and then see what the table in the West looks like. But if Portland fails to start earning three points this late in the season, I am going to start worrying. I want them in the post season.
This article may be hard to believe for Portland Fans but the end of the season only getting closer and expectations have been high all season. Much talk from Porter has been about winning trophies and getting to the playoffs has been going on. If you ask me, Portland has to make the playoffs to essentially back up what their front office has allowed members of their club to state publicly.
Am I off base and becoming a pessimistic supporter? Or am I looking at the facts that exist at the moment and just calling it as I see it? Finally, what do you think? Are you worried or are you confident that everything is fine in the Rose City? I guess we just need to see what happens over the weekend. As you can tell, I cannot wait to see what occurs.

The season of Mike Komisarek
Ryan Fancey
September 26 2012 06:58AM
The Leafs are coming up on the final two years of the thorn that's been stinging their side since 2009.
Mike Komisarek's salary dips in 2012-13 to $3.5M, which saves the Leafs $2M compared to last season in actual cash. We've now entered (or will enter, when hockey starts) that window where a lot of people believed he could be dumped to a floor team who won't mind paying him $3.5M and taking on the extra cap dollars along with it.
That idea was thrown around for a while, but fizzled out quite quickly.
The problem, of course, is that Komisarek's play has been ridiculed so much that the thought of dealing him seems like pure non-sense. We've got this guy until 2014.
What to do with him? The common answer is to throw him on the third pairing with Jake Gardiner and see how it plays out. They didn't spend a whole lot of time together last year, but it's the only thing I can think of that makes sense until injuries shift everything around. But then there's Korbinian Holzer, who is supposed to crack the Leafs lineup this season and push Komisarek to the press box.
So now Komisarek is coming off an awful season which was cut in half for him due to injury and press box duty, and he's looking over his shoulder for a guy who many believe will supplant him easily. But I think he still has a couple of things going for him.
For one, he's yet to experience a healthy season with Carlyle as the coach, obviously. I'm not sure how much he can help him, but his play can't be much worse than it was with Wilson. Perhaps Carlyle's tighter defensive style can get Komisarek focused on his shut-down duties a little better and help simplify his game.
Secondly, the guy seems genuinely upset with last year's performance and is trying everything he can to erase it.
Skating is a part of hockey, right?
From earlier this month at the National Post:
"Usually you take a month off at the end of the year to get away from the game and forget about it," said Komisarek. "I took a couple of days off and I was already back in the gym and excited and ready to redeem myself and hungry to compete again.
"People are always quick to remind you of your past failures and shortcomings. But you can't change what's happened. You're in the business of going out there and proving yourself every night."
It goes on to say he's been working with skating coach Barb Underhill this offseason.
One thing I've noticed about Komisarek since joining the Leafs is an improvement in his skating already. He hasn't been able to round out his game enough to earn his contract (few do), or most recently even stay in the lineup consistently. I do think his mobility has been improving. In comparison to Luke Schenn, he's Denis Savard.
We've sort of avoided him this summer, or at least avoided saying anything remotely positive about him. I'm not ready to start declaring this the season of Komisarek, but I'd like to believe he's actually going to be an upgrade from the 2011-12 version of himself.
It can't get much worse. I'm interested to see how much better he can be.

Friday emphasized women with Jill Scott's aspirational set, Brandy's Whitney tribute.
NEW ORLEANS — No one goes wrong at Essence Music Festival by playing it old school. Not slow-jam maestro Maxwell, who headlined, not jazz/soul singer Jill Scott and not LL Cool J, one of the few hip-hop artists invited to play "the party with a purpose" that opened Friday night in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. In one of the festival's superlounges, producer Teddy Riley of Blackstreet interrupted a string of hits he'd written or produced for Michael Jackson, Heavy D and New Edition to ask the audience to raise their hands if they're old school. Few requests of the night received a more unanimous, enthusiastic response.
No rating system needed: Essence Fest reflects Essence magazine's values, which has made it slow to embrace hip-hop, which historically has women issues. LL Cool J gets a pass because first-generation rap seems nostalgic now, and it's lyrically innocent by comparison. LL evoked rap's early days with Rock the Bells and I Can't Live Without My Radio — his first two hits — and brought out another first-generation act, EPMD, to perform Rampage with him. He went further, though, recalling the emcee's initial role in hip-hop as the hype man for the DJ, the guy who started the party. LL wasn't precious about his time or art, instead doing whatever he could to create a good time. He invited a dozen fans out of the audience and on stage to dance to Brick House, and when one lingered as the women were being escorted off, he challenged her to show her moves. "I ain't afraid," he said as she started to dance. The sequence could have been raunchy with another artist, but he's such a family presence by now that it never got past PG-13.
MORE: 5 rising artists to see at Essence
Take two: "I was on time this time," Maxwell said with a smile. When he last played Essence in 2009, he didn't start until 1:30 a.m. But Friday, the pre-set music, Got to Give It Up by Marvin Gaye (more old school), started right at 9, and soon after Maxwell was on stage singing Sumthin' Sumthin'. He breezed through the set with little commitment, though, and the audience responded in kind. The show remained awkward and mutually disengaged until he sang Gods from an album that will be released "some time," he said sheepishly. Perhaps because the song is newer, he performed with a passion that he hadn't shown earlier, and the audience warmed immediately. He followed it with an equally emotional This Woman's Work and the set effectively restarted.
The neo-soul singer doesn't have many speeds, slow jams being his strong suit. That wasn't a problem for most of the crowd, even though he ended a long night of music. His show never became too comfortable, but Essence audiences are very forgiving. No one seemed to mind that a giant Alicia Keys loomed over Maxwell on the video screen as he sang Fire We Make, a song he recorded with her. He acknowledged having a hard time getting a feel for the crowd in the cavernous room and was thrown by the famous faces in the front rows. When he teased Ascension (Don't Ever Wonder), the crowd was so enthusiastic that he turned it into an a cappella sing-along, even after he tried to beg out of it because "it's so old."
The other queen: Mary J. Blige has been one of the queens of Essence, presenting the lives of the women in the audience as dramatic tales of struggle and triumph. She's not at Essence this year, but another queen, Jill Scott, is. Her relationship with the crowd is more aspirational, as she presents similar stories as art. Dressed in white with an African print wrap, Scott stood in front of a nighttime cityscape backdrop to suggest an urbane alternative.
Musically, she worked with a much broader palate than Blige at her Essence appearances, by turns funky, then swinging easily on A Long Walk. Scott smiled, no matter what drama the song recounted, and only showed off her pipes and her effort in the show-closing He Loves Me (Lyzel in E Flat).
Remembering Whitney: During her opening set Friday night, Brandy reminded the Essence audience that she was born about an hour from New Orleans. Playing as the crowd files in can be thankless, but Brandy performed as if the room were packed and hers, starting sing-alongs and stretching out Top of the World and Baby to let the funk ride for a bit. When she paid surprise tribute to Whitney Houston, Brandy played to her strengths as she performed a medley of Houston's more playful songs — I'm Your Baby Tonight, How Will I Know and I Wanna Dance With Somebody — instead of the diva favorites that have become singing-competition staples.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Kitchen Sink' tag.
I told my bff that I was in the mood to cook and asked if he wanted anything. He said "something healthy, I ate Taco Bell for lunch". I looked at the large amount of bacon and cream in the fridge and cringed. So I went rumaging to see what I had. If I had red bell pepper, it would have gone in this. And I would not have used penne pasta…but that's what I had. So I went with it. 🙂
Kitchen Sink Thai Penne Pasta
4 TBSP lime juice
3 TBSP Agave nectar (you can use honey…if do add an extra TBSP)
2 TBSP chili garlic sauce (if you like it less spicy than use way less than this)
2 TBSP grated fresh ginger
1 TBSP minced garlic
1⁄2 cup peanut butter
1⁄4 tsp. sea salt
1⁄4 cup roasted unsalted peanuts, chopped
2 carrots, julienned
¼ cup diced onion
½ cup portabella mushrooms, sliced
2 cups snow peas
6 ounces penne pasta (if I had angel hair I would have gone with that)
8 ounces chicken breast, cooked and chopped
Bring a pot of water to a boil for the vegetables and add salt.
Sauté mushrooms and onion in a little olive oil until onions are translucent.
Add carrots and peas to boiling water and cook 4–5 minutes.
Remove veggies and boil water again, this time for pasta. Cook until al dente. Reserve ½ cup pasta water.
Combine peanut butter, lime juice, agave nectar, chili garlic sauce, ginger and garlic in a large sauce pan and heat on low.
Add drained vegetables, chicken, and noodles in pot and mix all together. If you want a thinner sauce, add some of the reserved pasta water.
Top with roasted peanuts and serve. This one works hot or cold or room temperature.

It also projects its revenue to grow more than 50% to $21.5 billion by 2015.
Paul Demery
A long way from its days as just an online flea market, eBay Inc. is projecting to more than double its revenue by 2015 to $21.5 billion, up from $14.1 billion last year, as it drives global gross commerce sales of $300 billion within two years—up 74.1% from $175 billion last year—across its e-marketplace, online payments and e-commerce technology and services businesses.
"Led by mobile, a commerce revolution is under way," eBay president and CEO John Donahoe said today at a meeting with financial companies. "Technology is creating a new web-enabled retail interface, a new seamless, multiscreen commerce experience that connects consumers anytime, anywhere. This will expand shopping beyond conventional store environments and e-commerce sites. How we shop is being transformed, and eBay Inc. intends to be a leader in this new commerce world."
EBay's projected $300 billion in global gross commerce sales includes what it expects to generate in gross merchandise volume through sellers on its e-marketplaces, the total net payment volume processed through its PayPal payments unit, and the total volume of online merchandise sales conducted through retailer clients of GSI Commerce, an eBay unit that provides e-commerce technology and services to hundreds of retailers.
EBay's growth projections come a week after it announced an update of its e-marketplace, with new seller fees it contends make eBay a better deal for marketplace sellers than chief rival Amazon.com Inc., No. 1 in the Internet Retailer Top 500.
In the mobile commerce market alone, Donahoe says, eBay expects to generate $20 billion of mobile and payments volume in 2013.
EBay also projected:
● Revenue from e-marketplaces, including eBay.com, will fall within a range of $10.5 billion to $11.5 billion by 2015;
● Revenue at GSI Commerce will reach $1.5 billion to $1.7 billion in 2015.

Feb. 23, 1966 - Nov. 21, 2012
HUNTINGTON: Jordan Wallace Hatch passed away due to injuries sustained in an automobile accident doing what he loved. Jordan graduated from Emery High in 1984 where he wrestled and played football. He earned an Associate Degree from College of Eastern Utah and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Animal Science from Utah State University in 1989. He later earned a second Bachelor of Science Degree in Agriculture Education from Utah State University.
Jordan was born to Ira Wallace and Elaine Brasher Hatch in Price, Utah. He was the middle child and only son. He married Joël Jensen on Aug. 5, 1989. Jordan and Joël raised two children, Holly and Hadan. Holly is a student at the University of Utah and Hadan is serving as an LDS missionary in the France Paris mission.
Jordan loved to go on the annual deer hunt with Hadan and his cousins in Panguitch and girls were not allowed. He loved to farm and ranch. He loved his cows. Jordan loved to work more than most people. The only time he took a vacation was when Joël booked and paid for it and he couldn't back out. Many quality hours were spent as a family working hard on the land and with livestock. His greatest pastime was teasing others, often to the point of tears. He wasn't happy until someone was crying. That's how you knew he liked you, if he took time to tease.
He worked for Kerwin Jensen and KFJ Trucking for three years as a truck driver. He continued driving truck for Savage Industries for two years. He was currently employed as Department Head and Associate Professor of the Heavy Equipment and Trucking Department at USU Eastern. He held this position for 15 ½ years. Jordan was fortunate to have a job he loved and was able to make a difference in the lives of those he taught.
Jordan and Joël served as the Young Farmers and Ranchers for Emery County Farm Bureau and were the District Chairmen for Utah Farm Bureau. Jordan later served as the Vice-President of Emery County Farm Bureau for several years. He was the current President of the Emery County Farm Bureau. He was recently elected to the Utah Farm Bureau State Board of Directors. He held the agriculture seat on the RAC Board for many years. He served the community in many other capacities.
He is survived by his wife, Joël; children, Holly (Jeff Dennis) and Hadan; parents, Ira Wallace and Elaine; sisters, Margaret (Ted) Wells and Yvonne (Ty) Jensen. Nieces and nephews, Kenzie, Karlie, Kelton, Nevin, Ashlynn, Kody, Lainee, and Brax. Father and Mother-In-Law, Willis (Bill) and Kathy Jensen.
Funeral services were held Monday, Nov. 26, 2012 at 11 a.m. in the Huntington Stake Center. Viewing was held at Heritage Funeral Home on Sunday, Nov. 25 from 5 - 7 p.m. and one hour prior to services at the Stake Center. Interment followed at the Huntington City Cemetery.
A special thanks to all of the rescue workers and others who tried to help Jordan.
Services are entrusted to the care of Heritage Funeral Home. Friends and family may sign the guest registry online at www.heritagefuneralhomeutah.com
