Did You Know? Countdown to Kwanzaa (12/27)Monday, December 27th, 2010
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures &
Folklore about Kwanzaa
Dec 27 : Second Day of Kwanzaa
Did you know today is the second day of Kwanzaa?
On the second day the black candle is again lit, as well as the farthest red candle on the left. This represents the 2nd principle of Kwanzaa – Kujichagulia (koo-jee-chah-goo-LEE-ah): Self-Determination.
Again a statement about the second principle and its meaning might be made. Or possibly a passage or poem is spoken or read which relates to what the principle means and how it relates to their life. The family shares the Unity cup and the candles are extinguished.
Kwanzaa is a 7 day festival celebrating the African American people, their culture and their history. It is a time of celebration, community gathering, and reflection. A time of endings and beginnings. Kwanzaa begins on December 26th and continues until New Years Day, January 1st.

"I ordered these shoes online looking at a picture of a gold tone shoe and named Gold. When thy arrived I pulled back the tissue paper and discovered they are in no way even slightly anything but plain ordinary BEIGE. I did not even take one out of the box. Back they go, with my irritation because I need some gold flats."

Comfy yes! Gold, maybe not!
"The color advertised says "gold" but the box reads "tan" so not sure whether what I received is what I ordered. The item number matches up. This may be what a previous reviewer meant when they said "watch the color" - I was hoping for a deeper metallic gold color, which would make these a great fall/winter neutral color, but the "pinky beigier" tan color that shipped is more of a spring shade. So comfy that I'm considering keeping them anyway, but the color is a disappointment."

Be careful of the color
"Shoes themselves are fantastic, very comfortable, great style that goes with anything. Color is more flat than I expected, sort of looks painted on (sorry). Might be best to check them out a store before purchasing. Recommended them because they're so darn comfortable, you can't beat them."

Gloucester director of rugby Nigel Davies makes several changes to play London Welsh, with Jim Hamilton returning to captain the side.
Gloucester director of rugby Nigel Davies makes several changes to play London Welsh, with Jim Hamilton returning to captain the side.
Hamilton is back after representing Scotland in the Six Nations. Similarly, Billy Twelvetrees returns from England duty.
The return of Twelvetrees is the only change to the back line that started against Bath three weeks ago.
However, the pack will have a new look. In addition to Hamilton returning in the second row, Huia Edmonds and Shaun Knight come in at hooker and tight head prop respectively.
And the back row will have an experienced feel to it, as Andy Hazell and Peter Buxton start on the flanks. With just five rounds left in the Aviva Premiership, every game is significant now and Davies is pleased that his side are in the play off picture.
"It's very open, and there's everything to play for. We're fifth at the moment so we're in a position where, if we play well in the next five games, we can finish in the top four," said Davies.
"We're pleased that we've got that opportunity and we're going to give it our best shot. We've used the last two weeks wisely to prepare, and have really taken things up a level in training this week."
Meanwhile, London Welsh may come to Kingsholm at the foot of the table, having suffered a points deduction, but Gloucester are reading nothing into the standings.
"It'll be a big test on Saturday. London Welsh have been extremely competitive all year, they've caught some sides out.
"They bring a real physicality, the contact area will be a real battle and, if you don't get it right, you can come off second best.
"They'll be a bit frustrated with all that's happened recently, and it'll be backs to the wall as far as they're concerned. They'll come out with everything to prove. It's a tough time to play them, a real challenge."
Meanwhile, London Welsh head coach Lyn Jones makes five changes for Saturday's trip to Kingsholm to face Gloucester in Round 18 of the Aviva Premiership.
In the backs, Seb Jewell moves from inside centre to full back where he replaces Tom Arscott, who drops out of the match-day 23 through injury.
Gonzalo Tiesi returns to the side having missed the game against Saracens through injury and takes over the number 13 jersey from Sonny Parker, who starts at inside centre.
In the forwards, there's one change in the front row with Dan George starting at hooker in place of Greg Bateman, who moves to the bench.
Elsewhere, Daniel Browne is named at number against his former club in place of Alfie To'oala. On the bench, Arthur Joly makes his first appearance for the club since Worcester on December 21 after spell out with injury.
"There was lots of good from our game against Saracens and we need to understand what is good and how we're improving, but at the same time some of the points we gave away were just so soft," said London Welsh head coach Lyn Jones.
"Our focus has been to stop playing buffet rugby and allowing teams to come and help themselves – we need to tighten up our first phase defence. Also when we have possession we need to hold onto it, so that we're not defending all the time.
"Gloucester had a great four months of the season. Results since Christmas have perhaps been indifferent but I'm sure they'll be highly motivated to get the show on the road against a side at the bottom end of the table.
"I'm sure they'll be confident that they can do well against us, but the challenge for us is to show them what we're made of."
Form: Gloucester are still chasing a top four finish, while the Exiles are rooted to the foot of the table following a five-point deduction for fielding ineligible player Tyson Keats earlier in the season. Form-wise Gloucester need a win having lost two of their last four Aviva Premiership matches, with London Welsh looking to arrest a run of seven defeats in all competitions and targeting a first Aviva Premiership win since December 1.
Gloucester: 15 Rob Cook, 14 Charlie Sharples, 13 Mike Tindall, 12 Billy Twelvetrees, 11 Jonny May, 10 Freddie Burns, 9 Dan Robson, 8 Sione Kalamafoni, 7 Andy Hazell, 6 Peter Buxton, 5 Will James, 4 Jim Hamilton (c), 3 Shaun Knight, 2 Huia Edmonds, 1 Nick Wood.
Replacements: 16 Koree Britton, 17 Yann Thomas, 18 Dario Chistolini, 19 Tom Savage, 20 Akapusi Qera, 21 Dave Lewis, 22 Henry Trinder, 23 Martyn Thomas.
London Welsh: 15 Seb Jewell, 14 Phil MacKenzie, 13 Gonzalo Tiesi, 12 Sonny Parker, 11 Seb Stegmann, 10 Gavin Henson, 9 Tyson Keats, 8 Daniel Browne, 7 Michael Hills, 6 Julio Cabello Farias, 5 Kirill Kulemin, 4 Jonathan Mills (c), 3 James Tideswell, 2 Dan George, 1 Tom Bristow.
Replacements: 16 Greg Bateman, 17 Billy Moss, 18 Arthur Joly, 19 Matt Corker, 20 Adam Balding, 21 Alex Davies, 22 Gordon Ross, 23 Nick Scott.

The Cheetahs start their overseas tour with a tough Super Rugby assignment against the Chiefs in Hamilton on Saturday.
The Cheetahs start their overseas tour with a tough Super Rugby assignment against the Chiefs in Hamilton on Saturday.
It's the first home game of the season for the defending champions since beating the Sharks in the final at the same venue last year.
And the Chiefs will be out to bag maximum points for the second week in a row after opening their 2013 account with a highly entertaining win over the Highlanders in Dunedin, showing they've lost none of the attacking prowess that was on show in 2012.
The bonus-point win also made it clear that Dave Rennie's free-running troops will once again be serious contenders for the title.
What would have pleased Rennie – but not many fantasy league players at the time – was the kicking performance of Gareth Anscombe. The discarded Blues player was elected to kick at goal ahead of Aaron Cruden and didn't disappoint after contributing 21 points, whilst relieving the pressure off Aaron Cruden in that department at the same time.
Now the Chiefs turn their attention to the Cheetahs – a team who, like their Kiwi opposition, like to give the ball plenty of air. Indeed, if both side's reputations are anything to go by, then we should be in for a great attacking spectacle as witnessed in last season's exciting duel in Bloemfontein (won 39-33 by the Chiefs).
Whilst the Cheetahs enter this clash as massive underdogs, they showed in last week's loss to the Sharks that they won't go down without a fight. After trailing 5-26 early in the second half, they oozed bucket-loads of spirit by reducing the deficit to just four points before a late Sharks penalty sealed the win.
It wasn't an ideal start to lose at home before jetting off on a daunting road trip of Australasia, but at least they didn't leave empty-handed.
The Cheetahs will also be bouyed by the fact that they know how to win on New Zealand soil, having recorded their first ever win in the 'Land of the Long White Cloud' last year. With two wins, and two losing bonus points, it was their most successful overseas trip ever and Naka Drotske will be hoping his team can pull off the same feat.
The Cheetahs last visit to Hamilton (in 2010) was also a memorable one for the South African franchise. They didn't win, but didn't lose either – with the match ending in a draw.
Prediction: A Cheetahs win over the defending champions at home seems highly unlikely. But if the visitors can manage a similar result to the one recorded three years ago, it will be a massive achievement. Though we don't see that happening either, with a losing bonus point the best the Cheetahs can realistically hope for. Chiefs by 12!
Chiefs: 15 Gareth Anscombe, 14 Lelia Masaga, 13 Tim Nanai-Williams, 12 Bundee Aki, 11 Asaeli Tikoirotuma, 10 Aaron Cruden, 9 Augustine Pulu, 8 Fritz Lee, 7 Sam Cane, 6 Liam Messam (c), 5 Brodie Retallick, 4 Michael Fitzgerald, 3 Ben Afeaki, 2 Hika Elliot, 1 Pauliasi Manu.
Replacements: 16 Rhys Marshall, 17 Ben Tameifuna, 18 Craig Clarke, 19 Tanerau Latimer, 20 Tawera Kerr-Barlow, 21 Charlie Ngatai, 22 Patrick Osborn
Cheetahs: 15 Hennie Daniller, 14 Willie le Roux, 13 Johann Sadie, 12 Robert Ebersohn, 11 Raymond Rhule, 10 Johan Goosen, 9 Sarel Pretorius, 8 Philip van der Walt, 7 Lappies Labuschagne, 6 Frans Viljoen, 5 Francois Uys, 4 Lood de Jager, 3 Lourens Adriaanse, 2 Adriaan Strauss (c), 1 Trevor Nyakane.
Replacements: 16 Ryno Barnes, 17 Coenie Oosthuizen, 18 Landman Ligtoring, 19 Boom Prinsloo, 20 Piet van Zyl, 21 Riaan Smit, 22 Ryno Benjamin.

Power to the people! As has become our tradition, we gave you the chance to vote for your Team of Year: Here are the results…
Power to the people! As has become our tradition, we gave you the chance to vote for your Team of Year: Here are the results from the PR faithful.
Only three players kept their place in your side from 2011 and they were New Zealand backline trio Israel Dagg, Conrad Smith and Dan Carter.
Planet Rugby Readers' Team of the Year:
15 Israel Dagg (Crusaders & New Zealand) – With 68% of your votes there was only one winner in our first position as Israel Dagg saw off Leigh Halfpenny for the jersey. Dagg's ability to ghost past the outside shoulder of defenders makes him a rare commodity you obviously appreciate.
14 Bryan Habana (Stormers & South Africa) – Wore 14 in the Rugby Championship and that was the tournament he was at his best in 2012. If rumours are to be believed he could be on his way to Toulon in the near future but for now, the Stormers have a player who mixes hard graft with pace and intelligence. Bryan Habana saw off Cory Jane and JP Pietersen with consummate ease – not bad for a player who missed the entire November international series.
13 Conrad Smith (Hurricanes & New Zealand) – In many people's eyes, Conrad Smith is 2012's top player (we don't argue with such claims). Leading a young and inexperienced Hurricanes side and being his usual faultless self in an All Black jersey, Smith was an easy winner of the 13 slot as he saw off England's Manu Tuilagi with twice as many votes. A true professional who played a big role in developing Beauden Barrett and Julian Savea.
12 Sonny Bill Williams (Chiefs & New Zealand) – He only needed six months. So many pundits were disappointed he left for Japan when he did as Sonny Bill Williams was beginning to grasp the finer points of rugby union, promising continued improvement beyond where he was already at. But, with a Super Rugby championship medal and classy performances in the June Tests, Williams managed to see off Wesley Fofana by ten votes.
11 Julian Savea (Hurricanes & New Zealand) – An outstanding debut season. Julian Savea was joint second in the Super Rugby campaign – just one try behind the co-winners Andre Taylor and Bjorn Basson – but takes our 11 jersey after receiving over half of the votes.
10 Dan Carter (Crusaders & New Zealand) – The man with the highest percentage of votes for a position and also IRB Player of the Year, Dan Carter, has been a cut above the rest this year. While Jonathan Sexton received some support, it was always Carter for your 10 shirt and after his showing in Scotland – one of only nine Tests he played in 2012 – it seems like readers appreciate what he brings. Not bad after an injury stricken 2011 for the maestro.
9 Kahn Fotuali'i (Ospreys & Samoa) – Surprise? Maybe, maybe not. In truth we also had him in our top two contenders at scrum-half. Kahn Fotuali'i was your clear winner though with double the amount of votes of his closest rival Aaron Smith and it is not a shock that several Top 14 clubs across the Channel are apparently vying for his signature. The Osprey has been vital to Samoa this year and will continue to be when World Cup 2015 arrives.
8 Kieran Read (Crusaders & New Zealand) – We imagined it would be a two-horse race for this position but the power of Louis Picamoles was beaten by a good few lengths by Kieran Read. The number eight picked up a handful of man-of-the-match awards wearing black this year while he was exceptional leading the Crusaders when Richie McCaw was out injured. He got 57% of your votes while the Frenchman surprisingly only managed 16%.
7 Richie McCaw (Crusaders & New Zealand) – 65% and with no one coming even close to the All Black means Richie McCaw returns for you after missing out to David Pocock in 2011. McCaw has quietly got the job done for the Crusaders and NZ while others make noise without having achieved anything close to the flank. It says a lot about his commitment that instead of cashing in for six months, he's resting in order to feature at RWC 2015.
6 Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe (Toulon & Argentina) – Put simply, he was phenomenal for the Pumas during their debut Rugby Championship campaign. Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe switched between blindside and number eight this year and that is why he wears 6 for you, seeing off Dan Lydiate and Chris Robshaw with ease. Honestly, we don't remember a week when Lobbe didn't make our Weekly XV in the southern hemisphere tournament.
5 Nathan Sharpe (Western Force & Australia) – He had to make it didn't he? Nathan Sharpe gave it one last slog for his country during the second half of the year – due to the absence of an injured James Horwill – and gave everything to the Wallaby cause. Fully deserving of his second John Eales Medal as he carried and led admirably for both the Force and Australia. Put your feet up Sharpey, you have earned a fruitful retirement.
4 Eben Etzebeth (Stormers & South Africa) – Was your most-voted second-row by a country mile. 62% of you thought the lock who was only 20 until the end of October was the stand-out in 2012 as he mixed power with dynamism at the beginning of what looks like being a long rugby career at the coal face for South Africa. It wasn't just for the Boks that he shone though as performances for Western Province and the Stormers were exceptional.
3 Dan Cole (Leicester & England) – With 41% of the votes, the ever-improving tighthead managed to see off Owen Franks, Nicolas Mas and Census Johnston here for your number three spot. At 25, Dan Cole is still only a youngster in prop years so fortunately for Leicester and England, his best years are likely to be ahead of him. Next year he has the target of being the British & Irish Lions starting tighthead ahead of Wales veteran Adam Jones.
2 Adriaan Strauss (Cheetahs & South Africa) – Bloemfontein has known for a long time how good Adriaan Strauss is and this year the 27-year-old finally had an extended run in the Springbok side. He did not disappoint but only just managed to see off countryman Bismarck du Plessis by 5 votes while Ireland hooker Rory Best was a distant third place. It will be interesting to see who Heyneke Meyer favours when Du Plessis returns in 2013.
1 Sona Taumalolo (Chiefs & Tonga) – Last but not least you guys went for a free-scoring loosehead. Yes, the former Chiefs prop had another exceptional Super Rugby campaign and also backed that up for Tonga. It became rather comical how often commentators mentioned where Sona Taumalolo was standing in the backline so prolific he was in 2012. Nine tries in Super Rugby meant he saw off the likes of Cian Healy and Rodrigo Roncero.

I love your travel photos. When we travel we bring all of our own food. Rarely dining at a restaurant. Obviously by my blog, there are few restaurant reviews, because you and I are very much alike in the germ factor. And the fact that I am too cheap. I look at the cost of the meal I paid for and think how much I could have bought at the grocery store on that amount of money. The only problem I have had with some hotels are the lack of a kitchen in most. Just a fridge and microwave. Which I guess is better than nothing. I am looking forward to more travel pictures. xoxoReplyDelete
Thanks, Krys! We haven't taken any good travel pictures this year yet. But soon we will hit Yellowstone and that's where all the good stuff is! :)ReplyDelete
Yep. The germ factor keeps me from eating out too. Did you hear about that cop that is suing Burger King because one of the workers had spat on the patty that he ordered? The article is here, but I must warn you that it's really disgusting! I'm so glad we never eat out! Yuck!
We are cheap too, eating out is expensive and if you can't enjoy the meal because you're paranoid about what they did to it in the kitchen then it's not worth it. But I'd rather be paranoid than eat spit-burgers! :P
That is so disgusting. Ugh. I also get frustrated at the few times we have gone out to eat and the food tasted mediocre. I could have cooked the same meal for a lot less, it might have tasted better and I would have money leftover. I'll stay at home and save my money so I can take my two little guys on awesome roadtrips.ReplyDelete
I am looking forward to the Yellowstone pictures.
That's true! I guess after eating homecooked meals all the time, restaurant food just doesn't taste very good.ReplyDelete
We're only a few weeks away from Yellowstone, but I'm already excited about it! :)
WOW these are beautiful pictures! I am especially loving the one of the redwoods, absolutely gorgeousReplyDelete

Australian-born Anton Bruehl was one of the most successful celebrity portraiture, advertising and fashion photographers in New York from the 1920s to the 1950s.
The collection on which this exhibition is based was presented to the Gallery in 2006 by the American Friends of the National Gallery of Australia with the generous support of Anton Bruehl Junior of San Francsico. He said "Although my father never returned to Australia, he always had affection for his homeland. It felt right that my collection of his photographs should be held at the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra".

In preparation for the forthcoming Ballets Russes: the art of costume exhibition, the regular changing display of Ballets Russes costumes in Gallery 1 has been suspended and will recommence in April 2011. Taking its place is a new display, Design 1900-1920, focusing on aspects of our collection of international decorative arts and design from that period. The display includes work by Frank Llyod Wright (above), Charles Mackintosh and Peter Behrens.
Produced at the height of San Francisco's 'Summer of Love', this 1967 work is one of nearly 600 San Francisco acid rock posters in the Gallery's International Prints collection. Designed by graphic artist Bonnie MacLean, it promotes a gig including The Doors—the 'Kings of Acid Rock'—and The Yardbirds, a band that launched the careers of guitar virtuosos Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. Venues like Bill Graham's Fillmore Auditorium were hubs for the emergence of psychedelic rock in San Francisco, and concert posters were an important vehicle for spreading the distinctive visual culture of the period. Artists like MacLean were influenced by the graceful, organic curves of Art Nouveau, transforming them into counter-cultural symbols through the use of Op Art patterning, hallucinogenic motifs and a rainbow of flourescent colours. Acid rock posters of the 1960s and 1970s are vibrant artefacts of the experimentation and freedom of expression that remain synonymous with these decades.

Sprucing up your closet for the holidays? Don't get rid of those old ill-fitting jeans! The holiday windows at Mavi in Union Square reminded us of one other fabulous way to make use of your denim once its days in your wardrobe are through. We've put together a quick step-by-step guide to wrapping your gifts in denim. Scroll through the Mavi windows to see how it's done. ?
1. Gather up jeans you're not wearing anymore, or make a quick trip the Salvation Army and pick up a couple pairs of large jeans with the saturation and wash of your liking. A right blue with red ribbons could be just as stunning as a stone grey with silver and gold holly leaves.
Tip: If you're looking for wrapping that's a bit more uniform-looking, you can order denim by the yard from any variety of fabric stores. Check out Mood Fabrics' wide selection of denim, and even order online.
2. Cut up the jeans into panels of fabric. If you have a sewing machine, you can create bigger patchwork pieces and even add some decorative top-stitching. Otherwise, it's best to keep your pieces big enough to wrap all the way around your gift at least once.
3. Wrap up your gift! The denim can be held in place simply by circling ribbons or twine around it, or hand-stitching it together with some strong quilting thread. Depending on the severity of your stitching job, you'll want to hand over a big pair of fabric scissors when it's time to do the unwrapping.
4. Get creative! Spray the edges of frayed denim strips to create a beautiful bow. Use glitter glue, studs, or any kind of paint to create a fabulous finish. Use a panel with a pocket and slip your gift card in it. By the time you're finished you'll wonder why you ever resorted to boring old wrapping paper in the past.
Voila! A creative, thoughtful way to give gifts this holiday season that will brighten up anyone's day. Just make sure the gift itself is awesome… you don't want the cool wrapping paper to overshadow whatever's inside.
Post your holiday DIY denim projects on our facebook wall and we could feature yours on the blog! And be sure to stop by Mavi's Union Square location to check out their windows for yourself.

Needs Buckles
"I have had these shoes about two months. They are comfortable as far as the memory foam is concerned. When I tried them on in the store they felt so comfortable that I couldn't wait to get them home and wear them! After about two weeks, the Velcro didn't hold. Regardless if I keep the strap loose, tighten them, or where I am walking, the Velcro does not hold. They should have made them with a small buckle to keep the shoe from falling off. For the price, the Velcro should hold after two months."

Buy some Advanced Healing Band Aids w/the shoes...
"I've been wearing an 8 lately and in these shoes I needed an 8 1/2 because the cut of the shoe near the big toe was causing my big toe to ram the top of the shoe. So I'd expect to buy up 1/2 size with these.The other issue is the grey ring around the topside of the shoe... it's a harsh fabric that has no give to it at all. The first time I wore these shoes I did a lot of walking and they literally ripped holes in both heals so bad that it took 2 weeks to heal and special band aids.They're not bad shoes a month into owning them, but I do still worry about them digging into my heels and tend to wear band aids to prevent possible blisters if I'm going to wear them for a while.What these shoes have over other shoes is good support, a more substantial build and a slight heel. Flats hurt my legs and a little heel works out better for me."

Omg. The end is just so...wow.

Omg. The end is just so...wow.
a whole lot more mystery and suspense. can't wait for the next chapter!
Yume no geijutsuka. Artist of Dreams.
oh no cross dont die!!
i really hope that Cross staged this in order to escape with Allen or something.. Hoshino wouldn't just kill him so soon after we finally met him.. right?
w-w-w-what?! Next week better come out tomorrow.
On a side note, how adorable:
The art is so different! from chapter to chapter. and his hair got even shorter O.o...I liked the long haired Allen
I don't get it!!!
There's now way Cross is dead
I think that Inside the order something is wrong!
Thanks Blue hime!
Hoshino's still got it! If it takes her/him 2 weeks to pump out quality chapters like this im all for it.
On a side note: Even if Allen's got the Noah in him, would he really be corroded to the point that he's not Allen anymore? I mean look at the other Noahs, Skin Borick only started manifesting the Noah in his teenage/20 years, but he was still Skin Borick. Tykki Mick? I'd bet the "Noah of Pleasure" wasn't always Tykki Mick; theyre all just hosts for the Noah in every generation. Thad'll probably explain all his talk about controlling the "light" and "dark" sides of himself.
So im thinking....wouldn't the Allen-Noah thing just be like Ichigo's hollow mode deal?
>.> Wait for blud to post that Bink's is out.
Heehee. I liked Allen's new hairstyle.. And I think there's something more to that message that Cross gave him through Timcanpy.. Probably saying how he'll fake his death? *crosses fingers* It's too early for Cross to die! There must be a bigger plot behind.

|Quickly roasted salmon and asparagus, served on baby greens with mustard vinaigrette. The perfect meal for spring!
(Makes 2 servings, recipe adapted from The South Beach Diet Quick and Easy Cookbook. I originally made this recipe using the method in the cookbook of marinating the salmon and cooking the asparagus and fish separately, but now I prefer simply rubbing the salmon with fish rub and roasting both asparagus and salmon in the oven. I'll include both instructions so people can do it either way.)
Salad Ingredients:
2 salmon filets (I used frozen salmon, thawed overnight in the refrigerator)
Fish rub or marinade for seasoning salmon (see below)
10 stalks fresh asparagus (or more)
about 1 T olive oil to drizzle over asparagus for roasting
Baby greens salad mix of your choice, about 3-4 cups
fresh ground black pepper for seasoning salad if desired
Dressing Ingredients:
1 1/2 T white wine vinegar
2 tsp. stone ground mustard
4 T extra virgin olive oil
Marinade Ingredients if marinating salmon:
(Instead of marinating, you can also simply rub the salmon with olive oil and fish rub. I like both Szeged Fish Rub and Kirkland Herbed Seafood Rub.)
1 T olive oil
1 T fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 tsp. garlic powder or finely diced fresh garlic
Updated Instructions if using Fish Rub and Roasting both asparagus and Salmon:

I'm currently rambling in my blog about the wonder that is Kurt Browning - this is what happens when I convert tapes to DVD, I see a program/hear the music and go 'wait, I know a skater who did that one better!' - the latest was last night watching a tape where Plushenko skated to Nyah in part of his program in... 2003 (I think?) or 2004.
That music belongs to Kurt and only Kurt (browning) as far as I'm concerned.
This has gotten me thinking. What music do you associate with what skater? Is there one particular program that signifies that skater? (in my case I think just about every program Kurt's skated as a professional has become a signature piece, along with the Grand Canyon Suite and Casablanca)
What are some of the signature pieces of the skaters over the years?

The Kings of Summer (Jordan Vogt-Roberts | USA | 93 min.)
In a landscape filled with sprawling meadows, rocky rivers, and a giant evergreen forest, the beautifully-crafted The Kings Of Summer- a unique coming-of-age comedy about three teenage friends-takes us on an adventure. Our heroes travel to an uncharted land untouched by adult hands, to a mysterious place . . . in Ohio. Specifically, the aptly-named Chagrin Falls, Ohio.
It is here, while fleeing from a lunatic breaking up a bacchanalian teen beach party, young Joe Toy (Nick Robinson) finds peace. Here, he will escape the droll, bossy despondency of his widowed father (the hilarious Nick Offerman, of Parks and Recreation). Joe has called the cops one too many times on the old man; now neither of them need cry wolf again.
Joe's friend Patrick (Gabriel Basso) is goaded into escape his own preening, prying parents, played with teeth-grating charm by Megan Mullally (from Will & Grace) and Marc Evan Jackson. The two boys plan a life of rugged male-bonding solitude, a dynamic quickly disrupted by their unwanted classmate, the irrepressibly strange and eccentric Biaggio (the astonishing Moises Arias). With his hysterical gift for weird non-sequiturs, misguided openness and daring physical mishaps, the oddball boy quickly wheedles his way into the team.
In the ultimate act of independence, these friends decide to spend their summer building a house in the woods. The young men figure to build a dream home, albeit one with a porta-potty door, and intend to live off the land (and a Boston Market up the road). In this macho haven, where the boys cultivate their wispy pubescent facial hair, the trio believe they can live free of parental oppression and feminine tension. But these things have a way of creeping in (perhaps because secretly the boys want them). When the outside world penetrates their oasis, the boys' friendship and ideals are tested, and they question the meaning and true desires of their rebellion. Free from their parents' rules, their idyllic summer quickly becomes a test of friendship as each boy learns to appreciate the fact that family - whether it is the one you're born into or the one you create – is something you can't run away from.
Premiering to rave reviews at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, The Kings of Summer is a witty, refreshing, and intelligent comedy that touches on the core feelings of misunderstanding and depression that can break a family apart – like soggy wontons in your soup.

great for the price
"The quality of this boot is excellent (leather and looks well made) for the price. The color is pretty (I think I may like this more with jeans than skirts/ dresses but we'll see...I bet tights with holes will look better than full coverage due to the style), easy to slip on, heel is not too tall making them easy to walk in. They look a bit long due to the lower heel, but since I'm between 9.5 and 10 and bought these during the summer season, when my feet expand with the heat/ by the end of the day I'll appreciate the extra length. I bought a 10, medium with and I have slightly wide feet, they're fine. The brand's label is in metal in the insole which I can see being problematic if I don't have socks (though they are tall enough to use short socks with a skirt or dress), but that actually might help the insole from slipping out of place (which also can hurt your foot). First day and my feet don't hurt at all even after a lunchtime walk, so so far so good!"

Just what I wanted
"These are seriously awesome boots. Well-made and comfortable, they look great with skinny jeans. Good ankle circumference (which sounds weird) but meaning tops don't gape weirdly from the side. Very streamline. I ordered a 9, and I usually wear anything from an 9 to a 10. These fit perfectly, so I'd say maybe they run a little big. Great boot for the price."

Customize your holiday table with this simple place setting from Matthew Mead.
Before setting the table, Matthew says the most important thing to do is choose a palette. Here, shades of autumn are reflected in amber glass, golden bamboo, Bakelite-handle silverware, and brown transferware with yellow and green pattern accents. (Spode makes a reproduction of this vintage china, carried by stores such as T.J. Maxx and HomeGoods.) A single leaf is silhouetted on a white antique linen napkin.
Using a traditional palette of red and white for the dishware, linen napkins, iridescent cranberry glass, and bright apples grace the dining table. As to flowers, Matthew recommends massing one type — it's foolproof and often achieves a more dramatic look than a bouquet of mixed blooms. Here, vibernum berries and deep-red roses grace the table. Hollowed-out apples make innovative containers for votive candles.

But now the government is involved and look out!
It finally leaked, and it's all over the news now: The Wall Street Journal reported on Jan. 7 that last April the Pacific Gas and Electric Co. (PG&E) Metcalf substation came under attack. Fiber optic and phone lines were cut, and more than 100 rifle rounds were fired into substation equipment, disabling a number of large transformers. Damage was estimated at around $16 million. Metcalf substation is a major 500kV substation in the South San Francisco bay area. I worked on R&D projects there several times and remember how accessible it is.
The transformers didn't explode, which would usually be expected. And the outages were minimized by rerouting the power.
Now maybe the attackers were just naïve about the system, or maybe they were just practicing for the big one, because with a little more effort they could have majorly shut down the cities by the Bay.
But, really, experienced utility industry folks throughout the United States have always known the vulnerabilities of almost all utility structures. We've even recently seen utility attacks in other countries. See Terrorism: How Vulnerable is the Grid? (http://tdworld.com/blog/terrorism-how-vulnerable-grid )
So why aren't we better prepared? Several reasons – the biggest is that no one really knows what to do unless we build giant enclosures around substations and underground transmission and distribution circuits. Good luck with that one!
Then there's the hyper-attention that cybersecurity gets. The government, through the DOE loves to fund those glitzy research projects, even though utility leaders have tried to communicate that no one will resort to traceable high tech when they can simply stand a half mile away with a rifle and blow out a transformer that could take weeks or even months to replace.
Well, now we have the government's attention. The Wall Street Journal said that Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and some other senators are going to ask the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to "set minimum security standards for critical substations."
So the DOE will continue to shell out taxpayer money to cybersecurity consultants while committees start forming to study the problem and pump out drafts of paper standards.
Looking at the glass half full, at least it's a start!

With the region cross country meet right around the corner, the men's and women's cross country teams at Emery High School are running well. The men's team is currently in second place and is looking for another person to step up and help them claim first. The women's team is competitive now but is a couple of runners short of really challenging for the title.
According to Coach Darrell Gardner, "The teams right now are doing quite well. The kids are stepping up and they are doing the things that they are asked to do. The boys are especially in good shape."
Right now the men's team is looking for another runner to really up his game, so to speak. Tyler Killpack, McKay Allred, Levi Swasey, Bryan Larsen and Spencer Fehlberg are all running well. Coach Gardner is looking for Cort Jensen, Dustin Jensen and Jake Gardner to step up and assist the others in winning region. Again according to Gardner, "those three are the key to winning this region."
For the Lady Spartans, they started off strong but have since fallen off. They also need another runner or two to step up and run well and they then would have a decent shot at doing well in the state meet.
Rebecca Bott and Jessica Jensen lead the team. Tamra Luke and Janelle Urie are also running well for Emery. Amanda Ewell is a sophomore that has stepped up and is now helping the team.
Emery will travel this week to a meet at Carbon. Region is Oct. 10 at Delta. The State meet will follow the following week at Sugarhouse Park in Salt Lake City.

The Saucony Peregrine 4 is a natural, soft ground trail running shoe designed for a neutral foot motion.
The trails are yours for the taking with the Saucony Peregrine 4. Lightweight yet protective, this neutral trail shoe is a nimble option for the runner seeking performance. A low-profile platform keeps your stride swift and efficient, while an aggressive outsole provides assuring grip on technical terrain.
Model Number:
Weight: 9.4 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: 26mm (Heel), 22mm (Forefoot)
Available Widths: D=Medium
How It Fits (based on width D)
Comments: I have been wearing these shoes since they 1st came out & love them. I've ran in Brooks, New Balance, Merrell, Nike & none of them stand up to everything like this shoe. Especially on long runs. I was running an extremely hot & humid trail marathon this past august while trying the Nike Wildhorse trail shoe & those suck. They felt like the bottom was coming apart & they do not drain well at all, were killing my feet so I had to take them off. The only thing i had available were my original Peregrine that i retired from running, wear to work & have about450 miles on them & they still kicked butt. Nothing compares.
From: Mike, Forth Worth, TX, USA. December 21st 2014
Comments: Just finished running a Ragnar trail relay in the Saucony Peregrine 4s and overall the shoe is very comfortable even with pulling off multiple runs within a 12 hour period. Shoe fit was spot on for me and I didn't notice/have any hot spots develop during a break in period. It is a relatively flexible shoe but still has plenty of protection for the trails. The lugs look very aggressive but I was surprised that the grip wasn't as good as my Montrail Mountain Masochist IIs; especially on steep descents over hard earth covered with silt sand. I would definitely purchase this shoe again just on the comfort and heel-toe drop characteristics alone.
From: Todd, Lake Forest, CA, USA. October 20th 2014
Comments: I felt like the fit was too small. I have run in the Mirage 3 and currently run in the Mirage 4 and the Peregrine 4 was much more snug in the forefoot than the Mirage 4. Sadly, I had to send the Peregrine's back.
From: Ryan, Seattle, WA, USA. September 7th 2014
Comments: Ok, here is the scoop. I have run the Peregrine since the first model and I must say this...if you are a serious ultra runner, this shoe is for you. I have run many other shoes (Pearl N1, N2, Solomon Ultra, Hoka, ect) and these are my go to shoes for every long run. Perfect amount of cushion, great grip on all trail types (no shoe is good on wet rock Dave), they drain well, good toe room, the heel to toe is perfect, and the semi firm ride gives good trail feedback.. and the looks are not too bad either. My current shoe has 300 on them and I just threw down a 50 mile race with them....might be time for a new pair! (just don't tell my wife)
From: Evan, Co, USA. July 15th 2014
Comments: Fit is good. True to size - I wear a 10.5 in the Mirage 3 and Peregrine fits a just a bit roomier. I was wearing Montrail Rogue Racers but was looking for more foot protection but still looking for a lighter weight shoe. I have worn them now for several trail runs and here are my observations. 1. Midsole/rockplate makes the show less flexible right out of the box. They are just now softening up a bit. 2. I feel they have a good bit of protection with an aggressive lug pattern. 3. Unfortunately this lug pattern is HORRIBLE on wet rocks - there is not enough surface contact. I ended up in in a stream twice. I am not family with earlier editions of this shoe but I do enjoy the protection these shoes provide, I would just wear them in dry conditions.

Remarks by Ms. Amina Mohamed at the UNEP/ILO Side Event on Green Jobs: A Chance for Youth
Mr. Peter Poschen, ILO Moderator of today's event
Executive Director - UNFPA
Ms. Laksmi Dewanthi -Assistant Deputy Minister for Incentive and Environmental Fund,State Ministry of Environment, Republic of Indonesia
Ms. Rosana Sousa, Secretária Nacional de Juventud Central Única dos Trabalhadores, Brazil
Mr. Songelael Wilson Shilla Senior Economist, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation United Republic of Tanzania
Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Environment, Water and Drainage of Barbados (tbc)
Mr George Zedginidze, Deputy Minister, Ministry of Environment Protection of Georgia
Mr. John Wali, Junior Award Scheme, Kenya
Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen
Allow me to begin by quoting the International Labor Organization (ILO) in stating that we need over 600 million new jobs in the next 10 years. Coupled with the fact that one in three unemployed persons today fall between the ages of 15 and 24 years, governments have little option but to shift priorities toward greater investment in youth. Educated youth harness enormous potential for growth and development. Failure to engage them in productive activities is a huge waste of human resources.
The green economy as an approach to sustainable development, can offer job opportunities for youth, provided policies are well designed and implemented. The new UNEP and ILO report entitled "Working towards sustainable development: Opportunities for decent work and social inclusion in a green economy" launched early this month shows that, if accompanied by the right policy mix, a green economy can also create more and better jobs, lift people out of poverty and promote social inclusion. It also demonstrates that employment and social inclusion must be an integral part of any sustainable development strategy.
This goes along with investing in clean technologies and new markets that create the demand for jobs. Skills upgrading, youth entrepreneurship promotion and greening work place practices are key components of the policy response. In addition, considering that 33.000 young people are expected to enter the job market daily between now and 2050, the degree to which this generation will be effectively integrated into the active work force will undeniably be a determining factor of the success of the transition to a green economy.
During the preparatory process leading up to this conference, the issue of the creation of green jobs and social inclusion has been consistently highlighted as a key concern for all countries. However, further attention needs to be paid to the measures required in order to specifically empower the young generation who represent a significant number of today's population, build on young people's energy and creativity to address the current youth unemployment crisis.
Since the establishment of the Green jobs initiative in 2007, UNEP and ILO have been jointly advancing the agenda for green jobs and youth, cooperating to make the economic and social case for policies and investments in favor of a low-carbon and resource efficient economy. Two joint report on green jobs have been produced, triggering a wave of demand for assistance to the creation of green jobs at country level and UNEP has been exploring how both organizations can work together to provide support to countries on the employment element of green economy. UNEP is continuing its strategic partnership with ILO to support the green jobs program in the context of the Program for Action on Green Economy (PAGE). This partnership is aimed at supporting this global transition by generating new knowledge, investment, and employment opportunities in support of a global transition to sustainability.
In addition, the UNEP long-term strategy for the engagement of young people in environmental issues, adopted by the Governing Council of UNEP focuses on awareness building, capacity building, information exchange, and facilitating the involvement of young people in decision making mechanisms.
UNEP is also one of the few UN entities that have a Youth Advisory Council - a group of young people elected by their peers to represent them in decision-making processes on the environment, as well as on development and implementation of environmental projects, networking individuals and organizations and lobbying of governments to take greater action on the environment. UNEP through the TUNZA Youth Programme reaches out to over 35000 youth organizations in over 160 countries.
Today's generation of young people is the largest in history. Nearly half of the world's population is under the age of 25, with most living in developing countries; this generation that will drive the development of a green economy. In this regard, UNEP, in collaboration with UNESCO, is currently developing a toolkit to help young people to better understand the necessary skills needed for a successful transition to a green economy. This is part of our joint Youth Exchange Initiative, which was introduced in 2001 to help promote responsible consumption among young people through education and capacity-building. This new guidebook, available this fall, highlights examples of what young people are already doing to promote a green economy, a snapshot of green jobs and green skills needed for the future, and the role of social innovation and entrepreneurship in a green economy.
It is clear from the discussions during the preparatory process that employment is a priority for all countries, and in particular when it comes to youth. Proposed outcomes have included a global strategy on youth and employment, and UNEP and ILO stand ready to support countries to take action in this respect. In this background, this event is very timely focusing on the potential of green jobs and the need to unlock that opportunity especially for young people.
We hope that this event will advance understanding of how the green economy approach could address youth unemployment as a major building block for sustainable development and poverty eradication.
I thank you for your kind attention.

Yoga's Impact on Fertility
A diagnosis of infertility and its accompanying medications and procedures can create an enormous amount of stress - on par with the stress felt by women with heart disease, cancer or HIV-positive status. According to studies, this stress may actually contribute to your inability to conceive and many experts recommend reducing stress as much as possible. Yoga has been used for centuries to calm the mind, stir the spirit, and tone the body, and it may also help you conceive.
A study published in Fertility and Sterility found that women undergoing in vitro fertilization who reported high stress levels produced fewer eggs than those who were more relaxed. In addition, a study performed by Alice Domar, director of the Mind/Body Center for Women's Health at Harvard Medical School, showed that women who had been trying to conceive for one to two years and concentrated on relaxation therapies (including yoga and meditation) were more likely to conceive than the other study participants who were given just fertility medication or participated in a fertility support group.
According to Julie Cade Bon, a certified yoga teacher and owner of Partnership for Pregnancy, which offers retreats for couples struggling with infertility, "Yoga tones and strengthens the muscles that support reproductive organs and improves spinal alignment, enabling better circulation and improved capacity and quality of respiration."
More research is needed to scientifically confirm a cause-and-effect relationship between increased fertility and stress-reduction practices such as yoga; however, reducing infertility-related stress and improving your overall health with yoga certainly can't hurt and, as an added bonus, couples' yoga can even bring you closer to your partner.
There are many different styles of yoga - some quite intense and not beneficial for fertility, such as Ashtanga and Bikram. Instead, choose more soothing, relaxing forms of yoga such as Hatha and Kripalu. In couples' yoga, postures are performed with the help of your partner and can help facilitate better communication and ease relationship stress.
Yoga enhances the flow of energy through energy channels, which are part of the "chakra" system. Fertility yoga focuses on the second chakra, which is important for sexual health. It is located near the lower abdomen and groin and controls the reproductive organs and influences sensation, pleasure, sexuality and fertility. Most fertility yoga sessions focus on deep relaxation poses to reduce stress and to balance the body's hormones, as well as poses designed to increase circulation to the reproductive organs.

Good for wide calves
"I ordered this boot thinking it would be ok. I measured the top of the boot and it is exactly 16" around. My calves are 13", so it's not a good fit for me. I didn't like the style as well as I thought I would either. Good quality boot though.I am returning them to the store and re-ordering some boots my daughter has I know will fit. Online they are the Coconut Blakely riding boot. She purchased them in the store where the brand is Matisse but is the identical boot as Coconut brand. Her boots measure exactly 14" around."

PAC vs. El GenericoAAPW Main EventPhoto courtesy: Wilkey Photography
By Kevin Hunsperger
@kevinhunsperger & @my123cents on Twitter
2012 was a great year for me personally in the world of professional wrestling. I had my first (and last match), got to see the Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania live in person, and experienced my first two live Chikara shows.
So I've decided to share 5 things that I think need to happen in 2013. I'm basing my thoughts on the promotions that I regularly watch WWE, Chikara, TNA, and Pro Wrestling Collision. I was going to include ROH, but I've literally seen one show this year (a live event in Chicago)
Adrian NevillePhoto courtesy: WWE
Adrian Neville needs to make his main roster debut. For those who don't know him, Adrian Neville is the wrestler formerly known as PAC, and quite honestly one of the hottest prospects in the business. It was about a year ago that PAC was first brought to my attention. He and El Generico had been signed to wrestle at AAPW Main Event in January. Since I would be calling the match I needed to do some research and of course turned to YouTube. What I saw then amazed me. Watching him work his magic in person was even more incredible. In addition to his match against Generico, I was able to see PAC wrestle Low Ki at a Dragon Gate USA show in Miami.
It wasn't long after that I learned that PAC had been signed by WWE. He's toiling away now in developmental, but with Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Big E Langston all being called to the main roster, I'd like to think that others will follow suit in 2013. There is a lot of talent in NXT, but in my opinion, Neville tops the list. I know he's new there and the chances of him moving up that quickly may be unrealistic, but with a resume like his, I feel he deserves a spot on the main roster, but I hope he doesn't get moved up and then lost in the shuffle. Timing will be everything in 2013.
Mr. Touchdown & mePhoto by: My 1-2-3 Cents
Mr. Touchdown needs a shot against Chikara Grand Champion Eddie Kingston. No doubt about it, 2012 was the year of Mr. Touchdown. Mark Angelosetti made his debut as the cocky jock in Chikara earlier this year. He and Dasher Hatfield formed an impressive team as the new Throwbacks. Then he won the Young Lions Cup championship and had some amazing matches with ACH. Outside of Chikara, Mr. Touchdown won the Top Banana title in Wrestling is Fun. He also forced Mixed Martial Archie out of the Chikara and destroyed the mascot of the Handsome and Mysterious Stranger.
It seems that the next logical step would be a shot at the grand championship. Don't get me wrong, Kingston has had an outstanding year too, holding the title since the end of 2011 when it was created. Angelosetti has earned a shot at the big belt. It seems right now he's still tying up the loose ends from the feud with Archie and Veronica. I'll be curious what happens in the first couple of months of Chikara's new season in a couple of weeks. Hopefully before the year's end, Touchdown will have at least earned a shot at Kingston.
ODB & Eric Young as Knockouts Tag Team ChampsPhoto courtesy: TNA
TNA needs to do away with the Knockouts Tag Team titles. I'll admit, I don't watch a whole lot of TNA at this point, but seriously the Knockouts Tag Team titles lost their luster a long time ago. A company the size (and TV exposure) of TNA doesn't need six champions. I'm not knocking female wrestling with this either, but really adding Eric Young into the championship picture in my opinion made the belts a laughing stock. If TNA was serious about intergender wrestling, then I could get behind this idea. It's something that's being done on the indy scene on a pretty regular basis, so it's not unheard of to do.
Bull Bronson vs. JusticeAAPW Summer ChaosPhoto courtesy: Bullbronson.com
Bull Bronson needs a shot at the Pro Wrestling Collision title. Pro Wrestling Collision makes its debut on January 19, and already I'm calling for Bull Bronson to have his spot in the sun. In All American Pro Wrestling, Bronson was the company's most dominate performer. He went through everyone he faced, even in handicap matches. He took out big names like Farmer Billy Hills, Justice, and the wildly popular (and larger) Mississippi Madman. The next step for Bronson would be a title match. He has an open challenge set for the January 19 inaugural show, so I'll be curious to see who's brave enough to step up to the plate.
Besides all the competition he's mowed over in AAPW, Bronson made it to the finals of the 7 Deadly Sins Deathmatch Tournament in Chaos Pro Wrestling. Seeing the pictures from that event proved to me that Bronson is without a doubt a legit bad ass, but really I already knew that. Bull is also a former NWA Midsouth Heavyweight champion as well. 2013 looks to be a promising year for this still rising star.
Christian Rose & Matt CagePhoto courtesy: Jason Wilkey
Indy guys need to be recognized more for their efforts. This is more of a blanket statement. I think 2012 proved that the rising stars on the indy scene have a place with the big boys. Heath Hatton and Ace Hawkins appeared on WWE Extreme Rules as Jay Hatton and Aaron Relic in a squash with Ryback. Sure, it was a squash match, but it meant a lot to these guys and their fans to have their names in the spotlight briefly.
I want more indy talent to get a shot on the national scene. Besides Hatton and Hawkins, guys like Matt Cage, Christian Rose, Brandon Espinosa, Joey O'Riley, Bull Bronson, Alex Castle, The Great Cheyenne, and Angelus Layne all deserve a chance to shine on the national stage. As Chikara continues to grow in popularity, I'm hoping some of these guys can find a place with the company. Of course as more NXT guys get called up to the main WWE roster, it'll create openings there as well. Indy wrestling is the lifeline for the national scene. It's time for all of us to start supporting these men and women more often.
