Three local organizations host 200 youth for a day of agricultural tours.
by Amanda Smith, Hoard's Dairyman Associate Editor
For many years it has been the pleasure of the Hoard's Dairyman staff to work with the judging contests and National 4-H Dairy Conference youth. As you saw in our Hoards @ Expo blog earlier (www.hoards.com/HAE_blog-pre-judging), we hosted 300 individuals at the farm as a stop on the judging practice circuit. We wish the best of luck to each team competing today.
The pre-Expo tours continue for our group today. From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. we, along with National Dairy Shrine and Nasco, were privy to host 200 4-H youth and adults that arrived in Madison, Wis., Sunday for the National 4-H Dairy Conference.
For many of them, coming from close to 30 states, it's their first time venturing to Wisconsin, and for some it's the first opportunity they had to travel outside their state's border.
After brunch at the Fort Atkinson Congregational Church, youth broke into four groups to tour the Hoard's Dairyman magazine office, Hoard's Dairyman Farm, Nasco and National Dairy Shrine.
Below, are some pictures from the days activities:
The author is an associate editor and an animal science graduate of Cornell University. Smith covers feeding, milk quality and heads up the World Dairy Expo Supplement. She grew up on a Medina, N.Y., dairy, and interned at a 1,700-cow western New York dairy, a large New York calf and heifer farm, and studied in New Zealand for one semester.

How Much Do You Know About Becoming a Bone Marrow Donor?
Let's say you were really, really sick and holding onto life by a thread, but there was one hope for you to survive and that was something called "bone marrow." Except there was a problem: there was no bone marrow. There was no bone marrow because people are scared of needles and because of that you might die. Not cool, right?

In my darker moments I sometimes suspect that a lot of today's so-called "Greek text" commentaries are actually constructed mentally on English translations--the Greek being simply substituted before publication. In the bad old days, by contrast, most commentaries were written by scholars who had perceptibly been thinking in Greek since childhood, thanks to the bad old tradition of Classical education.
Here's one example that's fresh in my mind.
Last week, another thread on this forum discussed the role of the ἅμα in ἅμα σὺν αὑτοῖς ἀρπαγησόμεθα (1 Th 4:17). Does it form a kind of compound preposition with σὺν, or is it an adverb modifying ἀρπαγησόμεθα, or what?
Neither of the two recent "Greek text" commentaries on my shelves (WBC and NIGTC) even considered that question. The authors had mentally constructed their comments on the standard English rendering ("together with"), which poses no grammatical puzzles--and although they had then substituted the Greek ἅμα σὺν, they hadn't seen that it required some extra discussion.
By contrast, nearly all of the older commentaries--e.g. Milligan (Macmillan, 1908) and Frame (ICC, 1912)--had helpful discussions of the question.
Apart from the older commentaries already mentioned in this thread--Alford, Expositor's, Macmillan, ICC, CGT--I'd draw particular attention to Meyer and Wordsworth.
Meyer has all the strengths of the old German school, and examines with characteristic Germanic thoroughness all kinds of possible ways of reading the Greek. Even when they're self-evidently wrong, it can still be enlightening to ask oneself "Is this wrong? and if so, exactly why do I know it to be wrong?"
Wordsworth is briefer and sometimes wayward, but he's a breath of fresh air because he's one of the few commentators truly indifferent to current fashions. He's also one of the few who consistently pauses to ask "How did readers who wrote about this in the very earliest centuries understand it?" Modern scholarship places a premium on originality (you won't get published unless you say something that's never been said before), and therefore assumes all too easily that a view first proposed in 2012 is just as likely to be correct as a view first documented in 212.
I don't mean that all the older commentaries are good and all the newer ones bad. As has already been said in this thread, every multi-author series varies considerably in quality. (Everyone knows that the old ICC vols on Matt, Mark, and Heb fell well below the series standard, for differing reasons.) But many of the older commentaries have valuable technical comments on points of Greek, which have tended to be dropped from their successors--even the "Greek text" successors.

UPDATE: Community's return date, Game of Thrones and Mad Men, a new Spartacus arrives, J.J. Abrams' new island, and much, much more.
Episode 212
Dec 14, 2008 Hank completes his biography of Lew Ashby. Mia departs LA for her cross-country book tour. Sonja gives birth to a baby who is decidedly not Hank's. Fortunately, Julian steps up to the plate. Charlie is reduced to working at a BMW dealership in the valley. After Daisy reveals that she slept with another guy, Charlie expresses his regret to an unsympathetic Marcy. Karen decides to take a job in New York City — the family can finally relocate back home. Hank and a heartsick Becca are thrilled. But when Becca and Damien patch things up and she decides she wants to remain in LA, Hank decides to stay behind for his daughter.
Episode 211
Dec 7, 2008 To celebrate the release of Mia's book, Ashby hosts a soiree at the manor. At the party, Karen reveals to Hank that she hasn't read Mia's book. Back from rehab, Marcy tries to avoid the powdered temptation all around her. Becca is devastated when she discovers Damien making out with another girl. And, after spotting Daisy with Ronny Praeger, Charlie tells Marcy he wants a divorce. Later, just as the madness is winding down, Janie Jones arrives. As Ashby tries to work up the courage to go downstairs to see her, he does a line of some very bad coke.
Episode 210
Editors' Choice
Nov 30, 2008 While Hank nervously awaits the results of his biopsy, he reflects on his relationship with Karen, and we flashback to the beginning of their stormy union — an event that coincides with the tragic overdose of a famous grunge rocker. Meanwhile, Daisy tells Charlie that she's moving out, but Charlie doesn't want to let her go.
Episode 209
Editors' Choice
Nov 23, 2008 Hank meets Janie Jones for a date at a Venice art gallery, where they bump into a very pregnant Sonja and Julian. After a quick escape, Janie invites Hank back to her place, but he declines. Karen goes on an impromptu date, of sorts, with Lew Ashby. She returns home to find Hank waiting with the big news that he did not sleep with another woman. And, after a congratulatory roll in the sack, Karen finds a disturbing lump on Hank's groin. Meanwhile, with Marcy in rehab, Charlie is left to hold down the fort at her waxing salon. And he and Daisy bond over Dirty Dancing.
Episode 208
Nov 16, 2008 Hank spends the day at the home of Janie Jones trying to get the back story on her relationship with Lew Ashby. When Janie's husband comes home early, Hank is forced to bide his time in the pool house with the Jones family maid, Rosario. When Karen learns that Mia is having an affair with Ashby, she races to his house to confront him but winds up having a tender heart-to-heart with the legendary producer instead. Meanwhile, Charlie sends Marcy to her mother's house to detox and succumbs to temptation with Daisy.
Episode 207
Nov 9, 2008 Hank and Karen attend a parent-teacher conference at Becca's high school. Hank hits it off with the English teacher, Mrs. Patterson, only to discover that this latest possible conquest is also the mother of Becca's boyfriend Damien. Meanwhile, Charlie and Marcy take a frightened Daisy into their home. When Daisy's former manager shows up for reparations, Marcy is forced to reveal that she's spent their cash stash on cocaine, forcing Charlie's to hand over the keys to his prized convertible.
Episode 206
Nov 2, 2008 Hank decides to seek out Lew Ashby's long lost love, Janie Jones. He discovers she's now a Beverly Hills wife and mother. Later, Hank accidentally walks in on Julian going at it with a rocker chick he's "mentoring". When Hank confronts Sonja about the discovery, she reveals that, much to her frustration, they have an open relationship. Mia spends the day trailed by Rolling Stone reporter Annika Staley. After finagling their way into Ashby Manor, Hank takes a liking to Staley, but is shocked to discover Mia leaving Ashby's bedroom later that night. Meanwhile, when a location falls through, the Runkle residence is transformed into the set of Vaginatown. The lead actor's failings force Charlie to step in for the money shot.
Episode 205
Oct 26, 2008 After getting dumped by Karen, Hank is relegated to living at Ashby Manor. In order to distract Hank from his heartbreak, Ashby arranges a sex session with popular, yet incredibly annoying, celebrity chef, Chloe Metz. Meanwhile, Charlie takes on a new client, Daisy, who's eager to land the lead in a porn film called Vaginatown, a remake of Roman Polanski's Chinatown. Charlie meets with the film's director, Ronny Praeger, and secures her the part, but only after investing $100,000 of his own savings.
Episode 204
Oct 19, 2008 Hank and Karen throw a dinner party for a few close friends: Charlie and Marcy, Ashby, Sonja, Julian and Mia. Becca and her new boyfriend Damien round out the group. Before everyone arrives, Hank pops the question, but Karen begs off to think it over. At dinner, it's revealed that Hank is the likely father of Sonja's baby. Becca stands up to Julian, much to Hank's delight. And Ashby nearly dies of an allergic reaction to sushi. At the end of the evening, Karen decides that she can't marry Hank.
Episode 203
Oct 12, 2008 On Hank's first day as biographer to Lew Ashby, he's reintroduced to Trixie, the hooker with a heart of gold, who stirs up trouble by claiming that Hank is better in bed than Ashby. When Karen and Sonja meet to discuss a renovation project, Julian interrupts to work his guru magic on Karen. Becca grudgingly starts her first day at Mia's private school, where she meets an unexpected friend, Damien. Meanwhile, Charlie spots one of Marcy's clients, a porn actress named Daisy. While pitching himself as her agent, Charlie hops a ride with Daisy only to realize that he's in the middle of an impromptu porn shoot.
Episode 202
Oct 5, 2008 Hank finds himself in jail after assaulting a mouthy police officer. Karen, still upset at Hank for his accident at the party, refuses to bail him out. In prison, Hank is reintroduced to fellow inmate Lew Ashby, who proposes that Hank write Ashby's long-awaited biography. When Hank refuses, Ashby bails them both out and tells Hank a story of the girl he loved and lost. Meanwhile, Charlie gets fired after his former assistant, Dani, plays the agency president a montage of Charlie's self-pleasuring office sessions.
Episode 201
Sep 28, 2008 After reuniting at the end of Season One, Hank and Karen decide to pack up and head to New York. As part of the reconciliation, Hank undergoes a grueling vasectomy at Karen's request. That night, Hank and Karen meet Charlie and Marcy for drinks. They wind up bumping into Sonja, the vomiting Scientologist from season one, who's now pregnant, and her new boyfriend Julian, a renowned self-help guru. The group heads to a party at the home of legendary record producer Lew Ashby, where Hank has an accident when he confuses a partygoer for Karen. On the ride home, Hank gets arrested for driving under the influence and assaulting an officer.

A Denver family headed east on I-70 just one mile south of Green River was involved in a one-car rollover. The vehicle they were riding in apparently drifted off the road to the left and the driver then overcorrected back onto the road and rolled the vehicle several times. Four occupants of the vehicle were ejected. Dying in the accident was Juan De La Rosa, 67, and Julio De La Torre, 39.
The driver of the vehicle, a 32 year old woman may have fallen asleep at the wheel according to investigators. Also in the vehicle were the two sons of the woman, ages 5 and 11. An 18 year old nephew was also in the vehicle. The 11 year old boy, in critical condition, was flown by helicopter to St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction.
The other victims were treated at the Green River Medical Center and taken to the hospital in Grand Junction. Those losing their lives were reported to be the father and the husband of the driver of the vehicle.

Dressy Sandal
"I am wearing the black patent ones at work today for the first time!! They are comfy for the most part, but after awhile I've had to adjust the front elastic ankle straps up/down for comfort. These should loosen up a bit with more wear. Otherwise, they fit true to size for me. These would be great shoes to dance in as there'd be no fear of the shoe falling off the foot with the attached straps!!"

just ok
"These shoes were ok; however, in person I thought they were not as funky/sexy as I thought a shoe with an ankle strap should look. The elastic strap, while a good idea for comfort, really came off a little matronly in the look for me. I ordered this and a 2nd neutral shoe option at the same time; I'm keeping the other one."

Zhivago Blea's look is more about weed than Jesus, Cleto Rodriguez learned a lot in his first year of marriage, and Edwin San Juan hams it up at the DMV.
I was... I was very surprised,you guys, because it was just...
it was, uh, very eye-opening.
You know, you seethe movies and the...
People are different.
Like, when I got to the airport,Sebastian, you, uh...
you walked overto the baggage claim,
and the first thing you said:"Hey, how you doing, mate?"
And I was like, "All right,they really say that. Cool."
They really say "mate," 'causeI thought maybe, you know,
it was just a movie or two.No, they really say "mate,"
so I'm like,"All right, got it, cool."
He was super nice.See, uh, we landed in Australia.
It was about 5:00in the morning.
And he takes us, uh,to this restaurant.
You know, have breakfast.
And I'm like... right away,I like him, you know?
"You hungry?""Dude."
"I know where to go, mate.""Let's go."
(imitates car engine purring)
So we go to this place.
We're sitting down,
and, uh, I started noticingcertain differences.
The server walks overto the table,
and he looks at me,and he's like,
"What are you having?"
And I'm looking at the menu,and I'm like,
"You know, I'm not really sure.
Can I just get a coffeefor right now?"
And he goes, "Okay.One long black."
And then I looked at Sebastian.
I'm like, "Where the helldid you bring me?"
And the server's like,"Is there a problem?"
I go, "I'm sorry.You'll have to forgive me."
I go, "I'm from America.
"Uh, here, apparently,you call 'long black' coffee.
Uh, in America,that means something else."
What's up, Arizona? Yes. Nice.
(cheering and applause)
I'm excited to be here.
Ladies, don't hate,but these highlights-- natural.
Shoot, man. I get a lot of,you know, "You look like Jesus.
When did Jesusstart doing comedy?"
I got no special powers.
I can turn water into pee.That's it.
This isn't just a look;it's a lifestyle.
I like weed.
I got in trouble a lotwith that stuff, man.
I was 13 when I gotmy first felony.
Yeah, my mom was pissed.
She was like, "Why, mijo? Why?
Even the fat kid got away."
Kept messing aroundand everything, you know.
Got a couple more felonies.
My uncle was all happy.
"Strike one, mijo. All right."
Ended up in prisonfor a little while, you know,
but I did get my GED in prison,which is a good thing.
(cheering)Thank you. Thank you.
an eating disorder
just 'cause the other dayI got the ex-lax
and started complaining'cause they didn't have almonds.
Is that bad?
She had me join a fitness gym
'cause I was one nacho awayfrom being a mariachi.
And, uh...
But we did--my wife and I just celebrated
our 11-year wedding anniversary.
We're very excited. Thank you.
Praise God.
(cheering and applause)
You learn a lotabout your spouse
in the first year of marriage.
Like, I found outI cannot take my wife
to a weddingthat was better than ours.
Oh, man, we went to thisreal nice, fancy wedding.
They had stuff like food.
the, uh...the-the driving situation--
the steering wheelis on the opposite side,
and you drive on the oppositeside of the street.
I was totally cool with that,but they have certain things
over there that, uh, again, whenyou drive, a little different.
They have this thingcalled a hook turn,
which basically, you driveall the way to the left side
of the intersection,go all the way up to the corner,
and you wait.
Meanwhile,there are cars turning
from almost every direction.
And then there's a train
that goes down the centerof the street.
Yeah. Even the GPS is like...
(beep)"Good luck."
(laughter and applause)
I'll tell you right now--there's no Disneyland
in Australia,but they got a hook turn
that will get your heart goingthe same way, you know.
Also, too, Milan right here--he is, uh...
And I'm gonna get youthis weekend, bro.
Milan right here is the kingof partying it up. This guy--
every time I'd seehim hanging out,
he was alwaysdouble-fisted.
Always double-fisted, you know?
(applause and cheering)
I'll tell you, Milan.
I brought your Australian assover here,
and you're gonna double-fist
with some Mexicansthis weekend, bro.
(applause and cheering)
And you're gonna find outwe're exactly alike.
You know?
Difference is, is over therewhen you order alcohol--
again, certain differences.
Uh, I'm sitting at the bar,
and there's people therethat were at my show.
And, uh, one guy walks up to me,and he's... he's like, "Hey.
You here to drink?"I go, "Yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna...
I'm gonna drink.""Uh, what are you drinking?"
"I don't know.I don't care, man.
I'm-I just...I'm gonna get drunk."
And he goes,"Ah! You're gonna get pissed."
I go, "Why?They don't have Patrón?"
He goes, "No, pissed--drunk, pissed."
"Oh! Okay. I'm sorry.
When you 'pissed' in America,it means you're upset."
And he goes,"Oh, we say 'pissed off.'"
I go,"Oh, we say the same thing,
but sometimes we shorten it."
You know?
So we wait a couple minutes,and here comes the bartender,
and he looks at me, right?
And he goes,"Hey, what are you having?"
And I look back, and I'm like,"Okay, here we go.
"Um, um... uh, something strong.
"I want real... something strong
"that's going to take medown to the floor.
Alcohol. Something strong."
And he looks at me,
and he says, "Ah, you wantto drink some piss."
And I looked backat the guy, right?
And he's looking at me like...
I'm like... I just can't say it.I can't say it.
"Uh, I'll have a long black.
(cheering and applause)
Freaking long black.
And then also, in Australia,
the traveling over thereis so much more fun.
When we fly here, uh,anybody who's, you know,
been to the airport,you know how challenging it is.
They are so relaxedin Australia.
To travel... we travelfrom Sydney to Melbourne,
and, uh, you know,we go to the airport.
Going through the airport was,oh, my God, like that.
Here... we flewfrom L.A. to here.
This is what happened, right?
"Take off your shoes.Take off your belt.
"Take everything outof your pockets.
"Take off your hat.Take off your jacket.
"You got a sweater?Take that off, too.
"You wearing glasses?Put 'em on.
"You know, pull 'em and...and put 'em on the tray.
You got a watch? Take that off."
And then you walk throughand, you know...
(imitates beeping)
In Australia, I swear to you,
they didn't even havea huge tray.
It looked likea little lunch box tray, okay?
It's this big. And I'm like,
"What the hell? What are yougoing to put in that?"
So I started taking offmy shoes, and the...
you know, the-the...the security looks at me.
"Hey, what are you doing, mate?"
I go, "I'm...I'm taking off my shoes."
"Ah, America."
I go, "Yeah."
"Leave 'em on.""All right, cool."
I started reaching for my...
"Ah, leave it on.""All right."
I started pull...trying to pull stuff...
"Hey, just come on."
"Are you serious?""Come on."
I walked through-- no lie...
(imitates beeping)
He says this: "Ah, it's broken."
I'm starting to get gray hair.
You can't really tell, though,'cause I shave my balls.
You can't tell, huh?
This question's for the guys.
Any guys here ever take a Viagraand the girl doesn't show up?
It sucks, huh?
You got to go homeand waste it on your wife.
Whew, I'm glad you guys laughed,
'cause I get tangleson that one.
Kind of sucks,you know what I mean?
I'm trying to mad dog fools.
"I swear to God, that vatobetter not come over here, eh.
"Check my car again;I know I got a scrunchie.
Ow, ow, ow."
It sucks.
You can't look tough like this.
I pay 50 bucks for my shampoo,you know what I mean?
'Cause I want to look pretty.
But it sucks,you know what I mean?
It's like, I want to hitmy pipe or something,
I got to...
That's not macho.
I'm on top of my lady, and Iwant to kiss her, I got to...
How sexy is that, you know?
"Bitch, you should'vebrought a scrunchie."
The worst one iswhen I'm at the taco truck,
and the paisansare checking me out,
you know, the Mexican brothers,whatever you want to call them.
And I'm sitting there,eating my taco--
I forgot my scrunchie again,you know?
I'm like... (chewing noisily)
"Hey, that one's pretty, holmes.
Está bonita, guey."
(chewing noisily)
"Which one?

So I had to takethe written test over.
I had to take the picture.
I tried to do the picture,I tried to do the face.
The lady got mad.
"We have to retake the photo."
I was like,"Oh, I can't keep that one?
"This is not Disneyland."
Then I thought about itfor a second.
You know, I could havetook that picture.
I could have pulled it off,
you know, if I justwould have committed,
like, from the very beginning.
You know what I mean?
Like, if I would've walkedinto DMV like...
"Hello, I'm herefor the driver's license.
Take the number?Okay, thank you."
You know what I mean?
Just committed the whole time,you know.
"'B' as in Bolkswagen.
'F' as in Priday."
What the hell is Priday?
That's how Filipinos talk--
when we speak English, we mixthe the "Ps" and the "Fs."

(cheering and applause)

(laughing with stereotypicalAsian accent)
All right, Latinos?
You guys have a song like thatfor Black people?
Huh? No. Right, there's no "Chocolate africano.
Come caca, use your mano."

I want to break out this point. I'm sitting here in my office–I just got off the phone with a federal official in Washington. Just about everyone in his office is working. My practice deals with the federal government a lot–a lot of law does intersect by definition, and I have yet to encounter an unmanned phone in DC. When I worked at the SEC, what stunned me was how many people did useless and pointless jobs. I conduct depositions of the federal government frequently, and its not unusual for the fed to have to produce ten witnesses to answer questions where one would suffice in private industry.
A number of years ago, our venture capital company took over a business in Indiana which had close to 1200 employees, had tons of international business and was losing money hand over fist. We were baffled. We finally asked every employee to send us a description not only of their job, but also a daily journal for a week describing exactly what they did. What we discovered was that at least 500 employees were doing nothing but supporting each other. We cut 500 employees and that's all it took to make the company profitable.
There is no mechanism in the federal government to weed out dead wood. A year ago, I deposed a federal employee whose job it is to print out emails and hand deliver them. There were six people in her agency who did that, even though the recipients of those emails all saved them electronically and who could, i guess, have printed out their own emails, except that they were denied access to the printers, which was in the excessive jurisdiction of the those six folk who printed out emails.
It has occurred to me over the past three days that maybe there is a mechanism. Since 1997, most agencies have worked to make themselves immune to shut downs, creating firewalls around the essential folk, and leaving everyone else to twist in the wind. The process had a two pronged effect. First, it defined who we need and who we don't. Second, it defined "how" work is done in the federal government. The Interior Department has plenty of people who are still working, but the Interior Department under a Democratic president has decided that rangers at national parks are non essential. Leaving aside the question of whether the federal government should own and run national parks (I think not), this administration has been playing political football by leaving intact the email printers while putting up signs visible to the public that the park is closed. The real problem with government size is not what you see, but that which is invisible.
Truth is, as long as the federal government holds the federal lands, it has to maintain them. By next week, middle managers from Washington are simply going to have to be patrolling the national parks, which are already are being overrun by the free the park movement. So what is that middle manager doing while so many rangers were sent home? Nothing, same as always.
What we need from the government is not anecdotes and platitudes about who is suffering, but a real analysis of who the government employs, why, and how the jobs were created. Because this shut down is more about politics than anything else, we should take this opportunity to really ponder whether we need 800,000 federal employees that both the Republicans and Democrats deemed non-essential.

Making the decision to quit smokeless tobacco
Only you can decide you want to quit using tobacco. Others may want you to quit, but the real commitment must come from you.
Think about why you want to quit.
- Are you worried that you could get a tobacco-related disease?
- Do you really believe that the benefits of quitting outweigh the benefits of continuing to use tobacco?
- Do you know someone who has had health problems because of tobacco use?
- Are you ready to make a serious try at quitting?
List your reasons for quitting
Tobacco users have many reasons for wanting to quit. But what motivates you to quit may not be the same as what motivates others. Think about making a list of the reasons you want to quit – one you can review later if you're feeling tempted. The list might include some or all of the following, but be sure to add your own reasons:
- I want to be healthier.
- I already have problems with my gums/teeth, and I don't want them to get worse.
- I don't want to spend my money on this.
- I can't chew/dip at work/school.
- I want to be able to go to a movie/mall/ballgame without worrying about it.
- I want to prove I can do it.
- I don't want it to control me.
- The people I care about don't like it, and want me to quit.
- I want to set a good example for the kids.
If you're thinking about quitting, setting a date and deciding on a plan will help move you to the next step.

Raffi Torres: Masterton Nominee
Jonathan Willis
April 02 2009 10:17AM
Former Oiler Raffi Torres is the Columbus Blue Jackets' nominee for the Masterton Trophy, which is awarded annually to the NHL player who "best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey."
It's also known as "that award the league gives out to Jason Blake because he plays for Toronto rather than to Fernando Pisani despite the fact that Pisani's hair follicles have more heart than the combined heart of Jason Blake even if Jason Blake were cloned into an army of pale, whiny Jason Blakes." Admittedly, the trophy's only described that way on the wall of Wanye's current cardboard residence, but the point stands. After all, Bobby Clarke won the thing so I don't think that "sportsmanship" enters into it.
Torres has had a nice bounce-back year once he returned from injury; his pre-injury numbers were very bad but he's salvaged that somewhat with 12 goals on the year so far. Meanwhile, Gilbert Brule has 13 goals in the AHL, so there's no doubt as to which team has benefited more on the ice from this summer's trade. I've always maintained that Torres was under-appreciated here in Edmonton; he was frightfully inconsistent, but even when he wasn't scoring he wasn't bleeding chances against and nobody can tell me that his physical game hasn't been missed this season.
I very much doubt that he wins the award.
As for the Oilers, I'm not sure who is going to get the nod from the media writers in this town, but my guess would be that after seven seasons in seven different leagues and an ugly injury this year, Steve MacIntyre will be nominated for the award.

and making 10X the amount of money is the very definition of rags to riches.
Here, I'll make it easy for you.
April 02 2009, 07:50PM
Regardless of whether it's money or just playing situation, MacIntyre made a heck of a journey from the WHA2, CEHL, UHL, QSPHL, ECHL and AHL to the NHL.
@ Victoria:
Read the page from the start. I quoted a_ron and then you piled on like the third man in. You start it. I'll finish it.
@ Harlie: In other words, you have no argument anymore, so you have to deflect what we're talking about. You didn't finish anything, you sure have been owned a number of times, though.
You bashed Roli, I responded. You got a problem with people shooting you down? Don't speak in public.

Few episodes in American history have held more fascination for writers—or the public—than George Armstrong Custer's Last Stand. More has been written on this relatively unimportant incident in American history than on the Battle of Gettysburg—and probably no two accounts agree in all details.

For many people, the mention of bees conjures thoughts of annoyance and fear. Bees make nests around homes, buzz around in the garden, and love salt-water pools as a water source. Though bees might seem like pests, they play a very important role in the environment because of their role in the pollination of plants.
An estimated one-third of the entire human diet can be traced back to bee pollination, according to University of Georgia Extension Service bee specialist Keith Delaplane. Bees are responsible for pollinating around 130 agricultural plants in the United States.
The Azalea District of The Garden Club of Georgia will hold its 55th annual meeting on Oct. 23, with the theme "Leaf It to Us."

My Mexican Corner
Why I want to be mentor in this category:
Mentorship is a central part of how food recipes and skills are passed down in my culture, and I always like to help people out who are interested in learning how to cook authentic Mexican food.
What inspires me in this category:
This food is life.
I learned how to make Spanish rice before I started kindergarten!
Biggest Lesson Learned:
Sometimes, higher heat does make better food, and don't be afraid to salt your dishes.
Books, classes, teachers that have helped me:
Rick Bayless and Diana Kennedy are really helpful for specific recipes or variations, but my mother, aunts, and grandmothers have been the most formative.
Education, Awards, Pro Experience:
First-generation Mexican-American; my family cooks central-Mexico regional food.
My Tips:
- If you don't have ingredients locally, purchase dry goods online and consider growing spices and herbs on your own.

About a bajillion years ago (aka September/October, which is still an age in blogging time) I went overseas. Since I saw some things, wore some things, and met some people, I thought I'd do the modern day version of a slide presentation and put the photos up on my blog.
Despite being together for the better part of a decade, this was the first time the Boyfriend and I went overseas together. Our itinerary was:
- London
- Edinburgh
- Glasgow
- Berlin
- Budapest
- Back to London
- Singapore to break up the horrendous flight home
We saw some sights:
But, as with every trip, the best parts were the food and booze:
It was unseasonably warm for autumn when we were in Europe, but given that we're cold intolerant Aussies, it was basically winter. If you saw me out and about I was generally wearing this:
Scarf: A shop in Berlin
Jacket: Second hand from Cream on King – size 40 (men's)
Jeans: Just Jeans – size 16. Similar styles available.
Sneakers: Nike Air Max 90 – men's size 8.5.
I did dress up on occasion:
Necklace: Tatty Devine. Currently available.
Shirt: Lazy Oaf – size M/L. Currently available.
Leggings: Topshop High Waist Extra Long Leggings – size UK16. Currently available. (Topshop leggings are also my plane pants of choice.)
Sneakers: Nike Air Max 90 – men's size 8.5.
Backpack: Second hand from GAMMAvintage
Bigshirt: Starstyling – one size. Similar styles available.
Leggings: Topshop High Waist Extra Long Leggings – size UK16. Currently available.
Sneakers: Nike Air Max 90 – men's size 8.5.
Backpack: Second hand from GAMMAvintage
Singapore, however, was way too humid for fashion and too humid for shoes:
Tshirt: No idea. It's a men's tshirt size L.
Shorts: Witchery – size 16. Old collection.
Thongs: Havaianas – size 41/42. Currently available.
Oh, and I also met these guys:
Lauren of Pocket Rocket Fashion, Kirsty of Fatty Unbound, meeee, and Bets of Arched Eyebrow <3333
After the inevitable budget blowouts of Christmas and New Years, we'll start saving again for the next trip. Sometimes I worry that this 'spend it while I've got it' mentality will bite me in the arse in the future; we have no savings and no assets but I've gone overseas every year for the past few years. But it's hard to care about that when I'm eating the best meal of my life in a food court in Singapore, or almost crying over how good the wine is in Budapest, or giving bear hugs to wonderful women I've known for years but never met.
Next year might finally be the year I make it to the US. Look out.

Great Pair of Pumas
"I'm really not a big shoe person, but I always go to DSW for my shoes. Especially for Puma. The prices are always great, even with the coupons from DSW rewards, and the selection is always diverse and fresh. The Puma Whirlwind Classic in Blue & White I just bought are very comfortable, using them for light sports and the gym. Love the styling!"

I recently received an email with some pictures of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, Japan. I was amazed. We dropped an atom bomb on each city and the devastation was massive and there was all the hype about the radiation left behind by them. But the pictures of Hiroshima only 67 years later. I could not believe it. I had to go on line and check for myself. They rebuilt those cities and they are magnificent. Two beautiful cities 67 years after an atom bomb. How can that be? The radiation was supposed to kill the land and make it uninhabitable for a thousand years. Yet there they were, two beautiful cities right in front of me. Go on the internet and see them for yourself. Wow.
If all the hype is true about the results of an atom bomb, it would be impossible to rebuild those cities. So there must be something wrong with that hype. That's obvious.
The devastation at the nuclear power plant in Japan that was destroyed by the tsunami was caused by the destruction of the generators that were to run the water pumps that were to pump out the excess water. They were below ground and when the water came, it flooded the areas where those generators were. No generators, no pumps. That was a design problem that no one anticipated. We know better now. Modern nuclear power plants are far advanced and those design flaws are highly unlikely.
I have no idea how they were able to rebuild Hiroshima and Nagasaki after such dirty bombs were dropped on them. The point is that we can't believe everything they tell us about the radiation. We often make assumptions based on faulty data especially when the fear of radiation is so high. To add insult to injury we have outsiders wringing their hands and dumping hysteria on us. Do you know what? If you don't live in Utah and especially in Green River or down wind from it, shut up. You don't even have a right to an opinion about this.
Southern California has many large earthquakes, on a scale of 6's and 7's, yet the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant remains safe and solid. We know how to build earthquake safe structures so I am not the least bit concerned about an earthquake hazard damaging the Green River power plant, and if there is a 100 year flood we know not to put the pumps below ground. Go ahead and build the plants, we will be just fine.

Theme: The Land
Artist: WANDJUK MARIKA
Birth/Death: 1930–1987
Title: The birth of the Djang'kawu children at Yalangbara
Credit Line: Purchased from Gallery admission charges 1983. National Gallery of Australia, Canberra.
This bark painting by Wandjuk Marika was made in 1982. It depicts the Djan'kawu giving birth to the first Australian clans at Yalangbara in Eastern Arnhem Land.
In the top section the brother stands with his digging sticks, which were later transformed into casuarina trees. The central panel describes the birth of the clans and the lower panel presents the birth schematically, with the dotted shapes representing the afterbirths and the circular forms the children. The fine rarrk or crosshatched pattern in the background represents the shifting sands on the beach at Yalangbara.
For Aboriginal artists images like these of ancestor figures and the narratives associated with them, refer both to the distant past of the Dreamtime and to the present laws and ceremonies that govern everyday life today.
