North Texas coach Seth Littrell held his weekly press conference today in advance of the Mean Green's game at UTSA on Saturday.
There were not any huge news items to come out of this week's rundown of where the Mean Green stand. The discussion centered on where UNT stands after improving to 4-3 and inching closer to becoming bowl-eligible.
The Mean Green took a big step in the right direction with a 35-18 win over Army.
Littrell attributed that win largely to the way the Mean Green prepared through a bye week and were ready to play on Saturday.
"Last week we took another step toward being able to prepare better," Littrell said. "Last week was our best week of practice. It carried over into the game. We played well together. We didn't play great in all three phases, but we did enough for us to be successful and come out of there with a win against a quality opponent in Army that is extremely difficult to get ready for."
UNT played one of its more complete games in its win over Army and will now turn its attention to the Roadrunners. UTSA lost an epic five overtime game to UTEP last week.
Littrell said UNT and UTSA are in similar positions in terms of their programs as they settle in under new coaching staffs. Frank Wilson is in his first season at the school.
And in other news and notes …
– Littrell said he didn't see anything on tape when reviewing the Army game that explained why UNT didn't throw the ball particularly well in its win over the Black Knights. UNT had receivers open. Mason Fine was a bit off and threw for 118 yards.
– Eric Jenkins was named the Conference USA Defensive Player of the Week after returning an interception for a touchdown and picking off another pass during UNT's win over Army.
– Containing UTSA's running game will be key. The Roadrunners are averaging 161 rushing yards a game.
– UNT should be a little healthier this week after getting through the Army game in pretty good shape.
– UNT is seeing some benefits from a good start to the season in terms of its reception from high school players and coaches.

Some web applications send unnecessary information to attackers
Surfing the Side
Sometimes error messages or log entries are too verbose for their own good, disclosing valuable information to attackers.
If you believe the movies, expert hackers only need to type a few cryptic characters at the command line to gain full access to the target within seconds. In reality, however, attacks on IT systems are usually not so easy to accomplish. Instead, the attacker sometimes needs days or weeks to succeed. During this time, the intruder explores the system to find a way around defensive measures, determines the best strategy for the attack, and avoids telltale log entries. Such attacks often occur in several successive steps and are called side channel attacks if they exploit hidden information just from observing the target system.
If this scrutiny relates to the hardware, it can include runtimes, processor power consumption, or electromagnetic radiation; if the intruder is focused on software resources, the attack might center on error messages or log entries. An intruder who is looking for information on the software might try to find out the version and patch level of the operating system, the database, the network components, or any active applications. The study might also include file paths to confidential data or configuration files.

A hard-drinking father finds spirituality in the bottom of the ninth
MY father was my hero. Actually, he still is, even though he passed away in November of 2005. He was a man of great character and integrity and had an incredible sense of humor, which he maintained right up to the very end of his life. Shortly before he died, when he was in the final stages of emphysema and struggling to breathe, my mother tried to comfort him. "Joe, we are so lucky," She whispered (speaking of the 43 years of marriage they had shared). He just looked up and without missing a beat remarked, "Yeah, if I could breathe, I'd be whistling."
That was my father,...

Of the following, which is a personal duty and which is a civic duty? (a)respecting others property (B)keeping environment clean
1 Answer | Add Yours
Civic duty is generally defined as a duty that you have because you are a citizen of a particular place. Personal duties are those that you have simply because you are a human being. The two are not always possible to differentiate because there is some overlap.
In this case, you could say that respecting others' property is a civic responsibility while keeping the environment clean is a personal responsibility. The reason for this is that you are required by law to respect the property of others and to avoid damaging or destroying it. Keeping the environment clean is not something you have to do because of the law. It is something you should do because you are a person living in the world.

Today is Gold Cup day at Cheltenham, a day engraved on the heart of trainer Henrietta Knight just as her name is engraved in the record books, following Best Mate's marvellous trio of victories in 2002, 2003 and 2004. But Knight has no runners at Cheltenham this afternoon, and it has been a disappointing Festival for her, with the much fancied Racing Demon nowhere in the Arkle, and joint favourite Impek failing to hold on in yesterday's Ryanair Chase.
Meanwhile, her most celebrated horse surveys the track only in bronze. On Tuesday Knight unveiled a statue of Best Mate, who so suddenly and shockingly expired on the track at Exeter in November, following an emotional address by his owner, Jim Lewis.
It was Lewis, more than Knight, who visibly reeled from the death of Best Mate. The former debutante, distraught though she was, dealt with the situation with the stoicism that comes as naturally to the English upper classes as passing the port to the left, if that is an appropriate analogy to use of a teetotaller who has, along with her husband Terry Biddlecombe, conquered alcoholism. "My mother used to instil in us as children that we couldn't cry in public, that we had to pull ourselves together," Knight told me on Monday, at the kitchen table of her beloved farmhouse at West Lockinge, high on the Oxfordshire downs near Wantage. "We used to breed Shetland ponies, had about 60 of them, and as children we got very attached to them but we weren't allowed to cry when they died. Someone has to keep the show on the road, you see.
"So I had a good cry here, but not in public. I had to keep a clear head, and think of all the other people involved. So on the way home [from Exeter] I rang up and told them to move my old horse, Red Blazer, into Best Mate's stable, because the worst thing when you lose a horse is walking past an empty stable the next morning."
I asked her whether she expected to be emotional on Gold Cup day, in private if not publicly? "I shouldn't think I will be too bad," she said. "It will be much tougher for Jim Lewis - in fact he wrote to me this morning saying that he's not looking forward to it. But, you see, his whole life has changed because he's lost his wife as well. His daughter and family have been brilliant, but he's not his old bubbly self at all, although I don't think his interest in racing has waned. Now that he's lost Best Mate and Valerie I think he's keen to get back into it. From my own point of view, we had a wonderful innings with Best Mate, and now that he's gone it's no good being tearful. We just have to think what a wonderful horse he was and what he did for racing. He did so much to enhance the country's knowledge of steeplechasing. After all, he was on the front pages of the nationals when he won his third Gold Cup, and unfortunately he was on the front pages again when he died, which I thought was very distasteful. In fact my head lad rang up the Daily Mail, I think it was, and complained. They didn't want to know."
I tutted sympathetically, and chose not to sound the riposte I gave to those who levelled similar criticism at this newspaper at the time, that the press and television frequently show pictures of dead or dying people in war and disaster zones, without anything like the moral outrage that attended coverage of Best Mate's passing. Still, if anyone was entitled to wince at any perceived insensitivity it was his devoted trainer.
"He changed our lives, you see. I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you today had it not been for him. You'd have had no interest in me. Isn't it funny, how without knowing it one does something that changes one's life. An afternoon at an Irish point-to-point [where she first spotted Best Mate] ...." She tailed off.
For Knight, long before Best Mate came along, Cheltenham Gold Cup day was unequivocally the blue riband occasion in the racing calendar. "It's wonderful," she said. "I haven't missed one for many years. Even as a child I used to be let off school to go, and when I became a trainer it was my ambition simply to have a runner. I never dreamt I'd win it three times. This year they say it's less interesting, don't they, with no real stars. But I think it will be really thrilling because there are so many runners."
There have been many great Gold Cups - Arkle against Mill House in 1964, The Dikler against Pendil in 1973, the victories in 1986 and 1989 of Dawn Run and Desert Orchid - but the memory that Knight cherishes above even Best Mate's unexpected first victory is his third, Jim Culloty driving him up the hill to win by half a length, as the Cheltenham crowd shouted itself hoarse.
"It was the best of the three because it was such a relief. I felt like a cloud had been lifted. There had been so much pressure for months beforehand, in fact Terry and I didn't go away on a long holiday - six days was the longest we were away - because we didn't like to leave him. He was a pretty valuable property by then, and Jim Lewis didn't insure him. When they're as valuable as that you can't really put a price on them, but then an even bigger responsibility falls on the trainer, in case something happens on your land."
Very little happens at West Lockinge without Knight knowing about it. She and Biddlecombe are up at five every morning, and by the time the first of their staff arrive at 6.45am, the 70-odd horses are fed. Their own breakfast, aptly, is taken on the hoof.
On Monday morning, it was a couple of pieces of toast spread with Marmite, but by then they'd completed half a day's work. It is a regime that will get tougher as they get older, although Knight is adamant that she will be surrounded by horses for as long as she draws breath. If the operation is scaled down, then it will likely be because aches and pains, not a few of them the legacy of an eventful career in and out of the saddle, are catching up with Biddlecombe, who turned 65 a week ago.
"A lot depends on Terry's mobility. He suffers quite badly from arthritis, in fact I teased him that he might have to walk the course at Cheltenham on a Zimmer frame. He didn't think that was very funny. At the moment he can cope but if he got immobile, I don't know."
It's not as though he can be redeployed behind a desk. "I do a certain amount of office work but we try to keep Terry out of the office. He's a menace in there, and he knows that." Knight likes to describe herself and her husband/assistant, if only to pre-empt what is so often written of them, as racing's odd couple. It is certainly true that they seem an improbable pair, the beautifully spoken former deb, whose sister is married to Lord Vestey, and the effing-and-blinding West Countryman. Yet the perception of them as an odd couple by all accounts dwindles as soon as you see them tending their horses together. It is then that they seem made for each other. And those who tend the horses with them know that it is the wife whose temper they must not ignite, not the husband's.
"I think they're quite frightened of me in the yard," she said with a sweet smile. "I certainly used to be quite frightened of my own mother, even though I adored her, to the day she died. And I do try to model myself on her. But she never shouted, and on the whole, nor do I. Terry uses a swear word just about every other word, but I find I don't need to. Maybe that's my teaching background. I never had any trouble keeping control over classes."
Knight was a science teacher for four years, acquiring skills that she still puts to good use when dealing with young horses. Some trainers are significantly better at dealing with horses than people, of course, but she plainly is not among them.
"I like people," she told me. "I get along with people. I don't like some of the yobbos you see, and some of the people you see in airports make you wish you weren't British, but on the whole I like people." And people, on the whole, like her. Tales of her eccentricities and superstitions are treasured by the race-going public, for whom she seems to have supplanted Jenny Pitman as the First Lady of the Turf. But does her own view of herself tally with ours? "I probably am a bit different. I was wondering this morning, as I went to feed our Connemara ponies, how many trainers with horses going to Cheltenham would be wading through mud with bucketfuls of this and bucketfuls of the other. But some of my superstitions I've let go." She gestured to some pots on the window sill.
"These old amaryllises used to flower on Gold Cup day, and if they were lagging behind then I'd put them for a day or two in the airing cupboard. But they're very sluggish this year and I haven't forced them. I still don't like seeing hay pass us on the road, though. It has to be straw. If I see a load of hay, then I might as well go home." With that, Knight led me through to her living-room, where a couple of her owners, a charming, elderly couple, were waiting to see her.
While she was out of the room mixing them whisky macs, the couple told me that they had engaged lots of trainers, but that the incomparably wonderful Knight was like no other. I needed no convincing.Reuse content

By Olivia Barker, USA TODAY
To be sure, Julia Leigh's sophomore work of fiction, Disquiet, is disquieting, a literary story of suspense and even horror.
But it's also haunting in a less literal, more ethereal way. Leigh has packed so much nuance into 121 taut pages that you finish the slim volume and immediately want to read it again, to search for second and third meanings among the subtly shaded prose.
At the outset, Olivia, also known as simply "the woman," has mysteriously journeyed from Australia to her mother's drafty French chateau, as dark and unadorned as Leigh's writing style (which, interestingly, is quite at odds with the style of Leigh's mentor, Toni Morrison).
Olivia turns up — with her two young children, a broken arm and a shadowy past — for the first time in more than a decade, and for an indefinite stay. (Of course, it's almost a cliché in literature that within big, old houses dwell, and fester, big, old problems.)
But the household — Grandmother and her long-serving housekeeper, Ida, as well as Ida's twin teenage assistants — is unsettled far more by the arrival of Olivia's brother, Marcus, his wife, Sophie, and their baby daughter, Alice. Alice's tiny stillborn body, that is, which her mother fiercely clings to, with potentially catastrophic consequences.
In reuniting a family, Leigh has painted a powerful, audacious, even shocking portrait of familial decay.

Retro Gliding Chair Cushion is rated out of 5 by 1.
Rated 4 out of 5 by mtkupp from Only One Issue Great comfortable cushion. Because it does not have ties, it tends to slip off the seat.

How to Batch Blogging Tasks (+ Why You Should)/
How would it feel to get a month's worth of blog posts written and scheduled with just a few days' worth of work? No, I'm not joking. In fact, I'm in the middle of doing this right now. That's right: you're reading a blog post that was written two weeks before its scheduled date all because I batched it with other blog writing.
What is Batching?
Let me give you two blogging scenarios:
Option A: write blog, edit blog, create graphics, format blog, schedule blog, share on social media. Rinse and Repeat—four-five times!
Option B: write four posts, edit four posts, create graphics for four posts, format four posts, schedule four posts, schedule social media share for all four posts. Done.
Basically, batching means doing all of one type of task before moving on to another type of task. It's the difference between making one batch of sugar cookies and one batch of chocolate chip cookies both on Monday and Tuesday versus making two batches of sugar cookies on Monday and two batches of sugar cookies on Tuesday. Which do you think would be easier?
Why Should You Batch Your Blogging Tasks?
Can I use the cookie example again? Good. Because I'm seriously thinking I need to bake after I finish this post… Anyway… making sugar cookies and making chocolate chip cookies require a different set of ingredients, different amounts of effort, and different techniques. It would take longer to try to bake two different types of cookies than to bake two batches of the same type of cookie.
So why am I making you hungry instead of helping you condense your blog writing time? Because it is easier to do two of the same task than to do two separate tasks. For example, writing and editing are tasks that require a different frame of mind. If you've ever been told to not edit while writing, this is why. And the same can be said of writing versus making graphics—you're in a different mindset while doing each one of these tasks.
Instead, you want to get into your groove, and stay there. If you're creating blog graphics for one post, you're already in graphic-design mode—stay there! Create two or three sets of blog graphics while you've got your groove going.
Trena Little, of TrenaLittle.com, batches her YouTube videos all the time. She says since she has her hair and makeup done, has her studio set up for recording, and is in a video making mood, she might as well record as many videos as possible. Imagine if she had to go through the process to set up her studio to record every day for an entire week? Instead, she saves herself hours of work by batching her video recordings.
How Do You Batch Blogging?
Pre-Batch Task: Gather Your Ideas
Have you ever read a post called "52 Blog Topic Ideas" or "101 Blog Titles" or "A Year's Worth of Blog Content"? Odds are, the bloggers who wrote those posts didn't try to think of 100 ideas in one sitting—they kept a folder of ideas on hand. Every time they thought of a new idea, they added it to the folder.
This is where you want to start: With an idea folder. It can be a document on your computer, a note in Evernote, or a list in your journal—no matter where you keep track of blog ideas, save them all in the same spot, and start saving now.
So when you are ready to start batching your blog writing, you won't get bogged down with having to think of ideas first—you'll already have a list waiting for you.

Blog Outline/Rough Draft: Regardless of whether you're an outliner or whether you like to dive in and start writing, set aside one day where you will write X number of posts. Right now, I publish a blog post once a week, and one of those posts is a guest post, so I only need to write three posts a month. Writing a solid rough draft of three posts usually takes most of my workday (my average blog post is about 1500 words).
Because I dedicate a day to blog post writing, I don't have a list of other tasks that need to be checked off that day. I mean it when I say I give myself the day to write. If you decide to write three posts tomorrow AND do x, y, and z, you'll overwhelm yourself. Choose one day a month to be your writing day, and knock out all your blog writing in that one day.
Blog Edit: Don't batch editing on the same day you batch writing—in fact, don't batch anything on the same day you're writing. Out of all the blogging tasks you do, writing is usually the most difficult because you're taking a blank page and filling it with hundreds/thousands of words. But the good news is, you just crossed that hurtle, so now you're ready to edit. And since you're in the editing zone after you edit one post, go ahead and edit all the others! Two days' worth of work and you have 3-5 polished blog posts ready to be scheduled. Feels good, doesn't it?
Blog + Social Graphics: First of all, creating multiple blog graphics will be a lot easier and quicker if you use templates. I have about four different blog templates saved in Canva, so when I'm ready to create a new blog post graphic, all I have to do is change the image + words and hit download.
Pro tip: You can create social media templates in Canva too.
I usually create my graphics on the same day I edit my posts because neither editing nor graphic creation take up an entire workday, but like I do with my writing days, I schedule "editing + graphic" days into my calendar so I know to keep that day clear of any other major projects.
Blog Formatting: Whether you're using WordPress or Squarespace, I find it so much easier to simply schedule multiple blog posts in one sitting. To be honest, this is one of the most difficult blogging tasks for me because it requires so many little details like short links and Click to Tweet. I often have several tabs open when I'm formatting my posts to be scheduled, so I prefer to batch them in one go.
Social Sharing: Did you know you can schedule social media content for posts that haven't even gone live yet if you're using a scheduling tool/app? Yup. For real. Instead of remembering to share a post on its publication date, as soon as each post is scheduled for publication, I schedule to share this post on social media the day it's due to be published.
I use Hootsuite for Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, and I use Tailwind to schedule my blog image as a Pinterest pin. I already created the graphics, remember? And I already created a short link of the URL, so all I need is a few snippets from my post and I'm good to go.
Learn how batching your blogging tasks will save you hours of work! (<<< tweet that!)
Breakdown of MY Batch Days
- Day 1: Write blog posts
- Day 2: Edit blog posts and create all blog + social media graphics
- Day 3: Format and schedule each post + schedule each post for social media sharing
I usually schedule these three days during the 3rd and/or 4th week of each month.
So for the post you are currently reading, here's what I did:
- I'm writing it right now on August 24.
- I'll edit it + create graphics for it on August 26.
- And I'll format, schedule, + schedule for social media on August 29.
The best way to make batching days work for you is to make that day all about the batch. If it's a writing day, keep that day focused on writing. If it's a social media scheduling day, keep that day only focused on social media. If you try to cram other tasks into a batch day, your day can quickly becoming overwhelming.
Do you batch your tasks? If not, what's you're number one productivity tip?

Madhur Bhandarkar eyes Amitabh, Shahrukh
Subscribe to Filmibeat
After Aditya Chopra (Mohabbatein), Yash Chopra (Veer Zara), Karan Johar (K3G&Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna) and a few other prominent directors, it's the turn of the 'league se hat ke' filmmaker, Madhur Bhandarkar to express his desire to work with two of Bollywood's most famous and successful stars, Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan.
Supremely confident of his forthcoming venture, the 18–20 crore Fashion, which is Madhur's second (after Aan–Men At Work) big budget film, the director took time off to talk about one of his long standing desires. He disclosed that he wants to work with both Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan, while at the same time adding that he would also like to direct other top stars like Hrithik Roshan and Aamir Khan.
Talking about Fashion he said that he does not intend to hurt or humiliate the Fashion industry through his film, nor is he portraying any particular person connected with the industry in a bad light. These are mere gossips and there is no truth in such allegations.

Summer Wheat
SCAD alumna Summer Wheat (M.F.A., painting, 2005) lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Wheat's figurative paintings stretch the limits of her medium. The artist's recent works use paint as a means to create low-relief tapestries. Her work has been included in several museum exhibitions. Most recently her solo exhibition "Pry the Lid Off" was presented at the Oklahoma Contemporary Museum in 2016. In 2013, she was included in the exhibition "ICA Collection: Expanding the Field of Painting" at the Institute of Contemporary Art Boston, Massachusetts; "Paint Things: Beyond the Stretcher" at the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park, Lincoln, Massachusetts; and "Paradox Maintenance Technicians: A Comprehensive Manual to Contemporary Painting from Los Angeles and Beyond" at the Torrance Art Museum, California.
Wheat has completed residencies at Triangle Arts Association in Brooklyn, New York, in 2012; BRIC Arts Media Brooklyn in 2009 and the Artist of the Month and Graduate Residency program at Lacoste School of the Arts in 2004. Wheat received the New Art Dealer's Alliance Artadia Award for 2016, given to one artist showing at the NADA art fair. Her solo exhibition "Full Circle" will open at the Henry Museum in Seattle, Washington, in the spring of 2017. Before she earned her degree from SCAD, she received a B.A. from the University of Central Oklahoma.

There was provocative discussion of the female attributes that regularly stop women from putting themselves forward, the frequent dismissal by male counterparts of women seeking top jobs, the lack of mentoring for very able and high-achieving women, the need for or usefulness of male/female quotas, the many reasons corporations do better with greater diversity, the ways to encourage our daughters (and sons) to do things differently in the future… and so much more.
All valid, all sensible, all thoughtful and hopefully encouraging, perhaps even inspiring, for the many women who have fought and continue to fight gender discrimination, wage inequality and so much more in their working lives.
But listening to it all, I wondered if an important piece was missed.
If I were to #BeBoldForChange I would suggest that mothering be restored to a place of greater prominence in women's lives. Let's face it, we are uniquely designed and equipped to shape the next generation! No one else can do it as well or as completely as we can. No boardrooms, no institutions, no coterie of blokes can be as powerful as women who embrace mothering as the most important career they will ever do. Shaping the next generation starts well before conception (of course you might expect me to get on that soapbox) but at every step of the way to becoming a mother, there is a chance for that power to be diminished (by procedures mostly developed and prompted by the boys).
Yep the (mostly) fellas try to take it away from us … try to disconnect us from the power that we alone have, try to make less of miracle that is becoming a mother! It can start with IVF, a process increasingly commonplace, it's furthered with the plethora of prenatal diagnostic screenings, with the monitoring and management that accompany labour and birth. It continues with the advice that is dished out by the various experts, often advice that conflicts with a mother's powerful gut instinct, it's exacerbated when women aren't given time to bond with their baby, when social, commercial or whatever pressure sends them back into the workforce leaving their infant to be cared for by others. The mere fact that women are expected to return to work within months rather than years diminishes the value of their role and the importance of those early years! No wonder mothering is no longer seen as the most important career you will ever have – no wonder having a baby is often perceived as just another 'run on the board.'
And before I have a bunch of magnificent women (mothers or not) turn on me, mothers need all the support they can get. Because that was another theme of the Panel Discussion – we gals have got to stick together!
Mothers need support for securing enlightened and meaningful maternity leave, for ensuring that taking time out for a mothering career does not mean they fall off the ladder of their professional career. They need help to make job-sharing a viable, sensible reality, they need work-from-home options, they need start-work and go-home times to be realistic in terms of what's required to get their family fed, watered and otherwise taken care of. They need to be able to attend Sports Carnivals and be around with the kids during School Holidays without fear of ramifications.
Equality for women is about a great deal more than ending gender discrimination in all its forms and ensuring there are more women on boards. If we are truly hope to change the world and women will be the ones to do it, we have to go back to the home and conceive, birth and nurture a healthy, happy, emotionally secure next generation. Then we need to take the time to do that when it has the greatest impact – the first 2-3 years of the child's life! Then we can step back into the workplace, secure in the knowledge that we've put strongest foundations in place for the physical, mental and emotional health of the next generation. Who knows we may even decide that sitting on the Board in the Boys Club isn't all it's cracked up to be. After all – when you get to the end of your life, will you wish you'd spent more time at the office? Unlikely – but you might wish you'd spent more time with your family.
And as a footnote – yesterday Labor frontbencher Kate Ellis announced her intention to retire from politics at the next election so that she could be at home with her young son. Part of her comments were telling "Just today I have heard from many MPs or ex-MPs, male and female, who have had the same sort of pressures and some who wish they had made the same decision."

Roasted Chicken Thighs with Lemon and Oregano
We love chicken recipes and when it's nice and lemony, all the better. I tried this dish out on my daughter along with her favorite veg...beets and the hasselback apples I posted a while back. A lovely dinner. Not so great a photo...oh well. We were hungry and I didn't take much care with the camera. Happens to me a lot.
Roasted Chicken Thighs with Lemon and Oregano
From Bon Appétit
1 lemon
4 large or 8 small skin-on, boneless chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
3 sprigs oregano
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1/2 garlic clove, minced
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Preheat oven to 425°.
Very thinly slice half of lemon; discard any seeds. Cut remaining lemon half into 2 wedges. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
Coat a large room-temperature skillet with 1 teaspoon oil. Add chicken, skin side down. Place skillet over medium heat and cook, letting skin render and brown, and pouring off excess fat to maintain a thin coating in pan, until chicken is cooked halfway through, about 10 minutes.
Scatter half of lemon slices over chicken and half on bottom of skillet (the slices on top of the chicken will soften; those in the skillet will caramelize). Transfer skillet to oven, leaving chicken skin side down. Roast until chicken is cooked through, skin is crisp, and lemon slices on bottom of skillet are caramelized, 6-8 minutes.
Transfer chicken pieces, skin side up, and caramelized lemon slices from bottom of skillet to a warm platter. (Leave softened lemon slices in the skillet.) Return skillet to medium heat. Add oregano sprigs, shallot, garlic, and red pepper flakes; cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Remove skillet from heat. Add wine; cook over medium heat until reduced by half, 1-2 minutes. Add broth; cook until thickened, about 3 minutes. Squeeze 1 lemon wedge over and season sauce with salt, pepper, and juice from remaining lemon wedge, if desired. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons oil. Return chicken to skillet, skin side up, to rewarm. Serve topped with caramelized lemon slices.

Dark Chocolate Chunk and Dried Cherry Oatmeal Cookies
Yet another Pinterest find! So easy to make, your kids can do it in no time at all. And they're chock full of everything good...oatmeal, chocolate and dried cherries. Something delish in every bite. They'd be a great take along for any picnic or casual party; I don't classify them as an elegant tea cookie, but one everyone will love.
Dark Chocolate Chunk and Dried Cherry Oatmeal Cookies
From Bake or Break
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup light or dark brown sugar, firmly packed
2 large eggs
1 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup dried cherries
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chunks
Preheat oven to 350°. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Beat butter and brown sugar together until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture just until combined. Do not overmix. Stir in oats, cherries, and chocolate.
Drop by tablespoonfuls onto lined baking sheets. I made slightly bigger cookies and used an ice cream scoop. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes (mine took a little longer), or until bottom edges are lightly browned. Cool on pans for a few minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Easter Coconut Flour Classic Vanilla Cake
Happy Easter!
When I was first experimenting with coconut oil, I came across several recipes using coconut flour as an ingredient. I had seen it in Whole Foods and brought home a package, but still hadn't made anything with it. In the back of my mind, I was thinking I'd make my daughter's favorite coconut bread with it. After much reading, I made two other recipes first to test it out. One was a big success, one was not. Coconut flour is tricky. It absorbs way more liquid than regular flour so you can't substitute it for APF in your recipes without changing the basic recipe. Coconut flour soaks up A LOT of moisture. You will read the ingredient list below and think it's incorrect. It isn't.
For some reason, the original recipe made only a single layer, so I just cut the single layer in half, making half a layer cake. You can certainly double the recipe, using two cake pans to make a full cake. This cake worked out well and I frosted it with my mother's old 7-minute frosting recipe. That frosting recipe can be found in Joy of Cooking and just about everywhere online. The original recipe had a Swiss meringue icing. You can follow the link if you'd prefer to make that.
Easter Coconut Flour Classic Vanilla Cake
From Healy Real Food Vegetarian and the Indulge Cookbook
4 large eggs, separated
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 cup extra virgin coconut oil
3 tablespoon raw honey
1/4 cup coconut flour, sifted
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line the bottom of an 8×1.5 inch round cake pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl combine the egg whites and cream of tartar. Whip until stiff peaks form.
In a bowl, cream together honey and coconut oil. Mix in the egg yolks. Add to the mixture, coconut flour, vanilla, baking soda and salt. Mix until combined. Fold the batter into the egg whites starting with a little bit at a time. Combine until the batter is completely mixed.
Pour the mixture into the cake pan. Bake for 20 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean.
Let the cake cool before icing and serving.

1st the door lock relay's were bad, then car was sluggish, then lost power. It's in the shop for the 2nd time (9 day's) now. Today they are programming the DME. The car only had around a 100 miles on it when I bought it brand new (paid cash)....I'm concerned about re-occuring problems in the future....I'm not technical enough to keep up with the rush and brush off answers.....I'm afraid I bought a lemon....any help you can give me to understand what the DME does and has there been any other BMW's like mine with the same problem, I'd appreciate it.

Light capture may pave the way for more powerful computers
Physicists often complain about the way the phrase "quantum leap" has been cliched and misused by journalists, but perhaps in the case of this story, about quantum computing, they might make an exception.
The remarkable advance in question comes from new research conducted at the Australian National University in Canberra.
It concerns the speed of light, which you may think of as being a constant, around 300,000 kilometres a second.
But researchers at the Laser Physics Centre have set a world record for slowing light down enough to capture it, for over a second, in a crystal.
They say it is a crucial step in the development of the next generation of computers.
Light, according to Dr Matthew Sellars, is very good at transmitting information.
The trouble is it's very, very fast, and it just zips off unless you find a way to hold it for a while.
Dr Sellars and his team are working to develop memory for quantum computing, a new way of storing and processing information that would be drastically faster and more powerful than existing computers.
Using two laser beams and a crystal, the team at the Research School of Physical Sciences and Engineering slowed down the speed of light from 300,000 kilometres per second to a mere few hundred metres per second.
"What we've got is a quantum memory, so it's a place where we can store quantum information and store it for a long time," Dr Sellars said.
"And this stopping light, what we're doing is transferring the quantum information which is on the light, or a complete description of the light field.
"We can now store it on the crystal and hold it there for a long time, for seconds and hopefully longer, and then come back basically just flick a switch, and then recall that quantum information and regenerate the light pulse.
"It should be an exact copy of the pulse that we've put in. So rather than using electrons we'll be using photons, we'll be using light pulses to control our computer system."
The research team is the first to be able to stop light for more than a few milliseconds, and has set a world record.
"The principle thing that we've done is rather than using a gas or a vapour to store the information on, we're using a crystal, and that's the fundamental difference," Dr Sellars said.
Although such research is still in its infancy worldwide, quantum computing would be revolutionary, according to Professor Paul Davies from the Centre for Astrobiology at Macquarie University.
"What it means is that you can carry out a calculation in, as it were two states at once. It's possible to put the information on two, and indeed more than two, on many, many different states at one and the same time, and process that information in parallel," he said.
"That's the great power of quantum computation, it exploits these so-called super-positions of states that atoms can be in more than one state at once, or sometimes in more than one place at once.
"Therefore you have the opportunity of doing massive parallel computation, and then bringing all of these computations together at the end. And so it just gives you a huge increase over the normal computational power of particles."
Professor Davies says there are many ways to exploit quantum super-positions, and that light is just one of them. He says the slowing down of light is all part of trying to gain control over systems at a subatomic level.
"If we could build a fully functioning quantum computer, it would represent an advance on the traditional electronic computer as big as the electronic computer represents over the abacus," he said.

Women's jail to move to Headingley
The provincial NDP government has announced it will build a new jail for women in the Headingley area, just west of Winnipeg.
The new facility, which is scheduled to open in 2009, will replace the 113-year-old jail for women in Portage la Prairie. The jail houses women awaiting trial or serving sentences of less than two years.
Women's advocates have long called for the Portage jail to be closed. The building is supposed to house 35 inmates – but last week, it was home to 53 women, some sleeping on the floor in crumbling, sometimes bug-infested cells.
"The conditions are deplorable right now," said Lucille Bruce, executive director of the Native Women's Transition Centre, who sat on a committee that provided recommendations to the province about the new jail.
"This is why we recommended that they move forward quite quickly on building the new facility for the women."
Provincial officials say relocating the jail to Headingley puts it closer to the courts, lawyers, most offenders' families and other supports needed by inmates. More than 70 per cent of the inmates currently held at the Portage jail are from Winnipeg.
The government has purchased 73 hectares of land just west of Winnipeg and will spend about $25 million building the new jail. Headingley is already home to the Headingley Correctional Institution, a minimum-, medium- and maximum-security facility for up to 450 men.
The new facility will include a healing lodge for aboriginal inmates and transitional housing for inmates who have completed their sentences.
Provincial Justice Minister Gord Mackintosh hopes to convince the federal government to help share the cost of the project.
"The estimated cost currently is about $25 million, but that figure could be different if the federal government agrees to house federally-sentenced women as well at this facility," Mackintosh said.
"We've had some discussions with the federal government. There is some interest in that, but they want to see where the facility would be located. So now there will be some discussions within a limited time frame to determine the federal goverment's interest."
Currently, Manitoba does not have a facility suitable for housing women serving federal time.
Officials with the city of Portage la Prairie expressed disappointment with the announcement, saying it will be a big loss for the community.
"It isn't just the jobs. There's an awful lot of spinoffs as well, when it comes to supplies and tradespeople working and so on and so forth," said Portage Mayor Ian MacKenzie. "Another thing was that the institution contributed a great deal to the life of Portage la Prairie, with … the voluntary work that they did and so on."
MacKenzie is holding out hope the province will locate a new healing lodge for female offenders in Portage. His city will lobby with the Long Plains First Nation to make that happen.
Provincial officials say current members of the staff at the Portage jail will continue to be employed in the new facility. Headingley is located about 65 kilometres east of Portage – usually less than a hour's drive on the Trans-Canada Highway.
The provincial government has been discussing what to do with the Portage facility for more than 15 years. In 1991, the aboriginal justice inquiry recommended the jail be closed. More than a decade later, the Elizabeth Fry Society launched a human-rights complaint into conditions at the jail.
That year, Justice Minister Gord Mackintosh announced the jail would close and a new one would be built. A consultation committee began hearings in 2004, and the committee submitted its final report to the government a year ago.Source: cbc.ca
Inmates' advocates impatient for closure of women's jail
For years, the province has promised to close the century-old women's jail in Portage la Prairie – but after all the consultations and reports, the crowded, century-old facility continues to operate.
The jail, built in 1893, is supposed to house 35 inmates – but this week, it's home to 53 women awaiting trial or serving sentences of less than two years. The women are packed into crumbing, sometimes bug-infested cells.
"The situation is really bad for the women. For example, many women are sleeping on the floor," says Debra Parks with the Elizabeth Fry Society, which works with women in the justice system. "There's no meaningful programming, in terms of education or culturally appropriate services."
Most of the women in the jail are aboriginal. Native groups say they desperately need a new facility that offers cultural programs.
"The progress is extremely slow, and almost disheartening and disrespectful for the women who are currently housed there," says Nahanni Fontaine with the Southern Chiefs Organization. "Women's groups across the province are wondering what's going on."
The complaints are not new. In 1991, the aboriginal justice inquiry recommended the jail be closed.
In 2002, the Elizabeth Fry Society launched a human-rights complaint into conditions at the jail. That same year, Justice Minister Gord Mackintosh announced the jail would close and a new one would be built.
A consultation committee began hearings in 2004, and a year ago this week, the committee submitted its final report to the government.
In all that time, critics say, little has changed for the institution's inmates.
The justice minister was not available to comment on the situation at the jail. A spokesperson for his office said the minister is expected to make an announcement about the facility in the next few weeks.

John 20:19-31. The Sunday following Easter is often called "low Sunday" by churchy insiders, mainly because after the big surge of folks on Easter, there is usually a "lull" on the following Sunday. Personally, I don't think it is low at all. We get to keep talking about the power of life, of living, of Resurrection in our midst! This weekend we will talk about Jesus appearing to his disciples as we seek to build the bridge to our next sermon series entitled Making Connections All Around. Join us for the Jesus Appearance this Sunday
Easter Weekend Worship!
This is a great weekend to rejoice in our Christian faith:
Good Friday Worship. We begin the weekend with Good Friday Worship on Friday evening at 7:30PM in our worship center. We cannot get to the new life of Easter without traveling through the death that Friday brings. Join us as we ponder the meaning of Jesus' death.
Easter Sunrise Worship. Just as the women did on the first day of the week after Jesus had died, we will gather to worship on the Saint James campus grounds at 6:30AM as the sun rises marking the new day, Easter! It is a simple worship with a few songs, message about new life, and communion. We'll stand together outside (or you can bring your lawn chair if you would like to sit down). Start your morning/week/year/year with a renewal of your commitment to Life, the same commitment God made obvious in the resurrection.
Easter Celebration Worship. Every Sunday we celebrate the resurrection by gathering for worship at 11:00AM. This week we celebrate the day that began it all- including the inspiration for the early Jesus-followers to focus worship on Sunday, not Saturday.
We look forward to seeing you this weekend!
Children's Easter Eggs-stravaganza
Get ready and excited for our Easter Saturday activities! There will be a bounce house, crafts, snack, egg hunt and a bible story. If you would like to help with set-up or clean up, please email Hannah, email@example.com. Save the date: Saturday, April 15th from 11:30am to 1pm, invite your friends AND neighbors! Download the flyer here, or pick one up in the lobby to take home and invite a neighbor!
4/16 Easter Worship Theme- Emerging into the Light
This Sunday we will celebrate the Risen One, Jesus the Christ! In a statement on the other side of his death at the hands of the Romans, we see that God is doing something new and different in bringing new life out of death! With other Jesus-followers all around the world, we announce, "He is risen! He is risen, indeed!"
Easter Sunrise on April 19 at 6:30AM
This year we will gather to celebrate the Resurrection at sunrise on Easter morning at 6:30AM on the grounds of new Saint James. If you would like to sit for worship, you'll need to break out your lawn chair and bring it along. If you are okay with standing, just bring yourself! Gathering will begin before worship so we can begin right on time.
4/14 Good Friday!
Good Friday has always seemed a misnomer to me. It is the day we celebrate the death of Jesus. The explanation I always received could be summarized as "good for us, bad for Jesus." I find such an oversimplification unsatisfactory. However, we will celebrate Good Friday worship on April 14 at 7:30PM in the worship center. We will reflect together on the impact of Jesus' death on us and seek meaning in the midst of this day that has a rather despairing theme. Can we grab for the hope and inspiration in Jesus' willingness to die? Join us on Good Friday for thoughts regarding the crucifixion and who we are because of it.
4/9 Worship Theme- Celebrate! What Time Is It Again?
Luke 19:29-44. This Sunday we celebrate the big entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. It begins the week leading up to Easter, a week that is jam-packed with lots of Jesus teaching and healing. Come and begin your week with us as we begin Holy Week!
Parents Morning Out During Spring Break
Enjoy a few hours to yourself during Spring Break on Wednesday, April 14th. Drop your kids off at the Mission House to enjoy a movie, popcorn, snacks and games! Movie is TBD but drop off is 11am and pick-up is at 2pm. Reach out to Hannah for more info or to let her know your kids will be there, firstname.lastname@example.com.
4/2 Worship Theme- Let's Get Together!
Some of you may recognize "Let's Get Together" as the name of a song sung by the Hayley Mills "twins" in The Parent Trap (original 1961 Disney version). The movie (remade in 1998 with a young Lindsay Lohan in the leading role) revolves around twins separated nearly at birth by their divorcing parents, each of whom takes one of the girls. The twins meet quite by accident at the same summer camp and hatch a plot to bring the divorced parents back together.
It seems to me there are some key lessons about church to be gleaned from the theme of "getting together," more often cited as "building community." Is there anything to be said for "community" that can help us connect with our personal and gathered identities at Saint James? We will turn to the Bible and the wisdom of the "twins" to draw some lessons for personal growth and connection today.
Saint James- Anchor Leg of District Prayer
We start the week-long Alexandria District prayer vigil on Sunday night at midnight and continuing until 2:00AM Monday. Pastor James will be in the worship center starting at 11:45PM Sunday, April 2. All are invited to come by to pray during that two hour window of time or pray in place. Come and pray for as long (or short) as you would like. As we are ending, other churches in the district will pick up the "baton" and pray throughout the week in two hour increments.

Her rather conservative bet is being placed at the very moment of maximum uncertainty, when one technological device after another threatens to fragment television audiences and undermine the financial foundations of commercial broadcasting.
Personal Video Recorders (PVRs) may be a great convenience to the viewer but those who have them can construct their own television schedules and fast-forward through the ads or even cut them out entirely.
Think then of connecting such a device to IPTV - television over broadband connections - and viewers will be able to pull in a limitless number of programmes of their choice from all over the world.
BT plans to use broadband to launch on-demand television later this year before the current BBC royal charter even runs out.
At the same time, broadcasting is starting to go walkabout, on mobile phones and video iPods and similar devices. Podcasting will continue to grow.
Where in this swirl of competition and choice, speeding up all the time, will there remain a place for a organisation like the BBC funded by a compulsory licence fee?
Luckily all change is not heading in precisely the same direction. The launch of high definition television by the BBC and Sky in time for the World Cup finals in Germany will start to move things back into the large screen in the living room.
With programmes such as Doctor Who and Strictly Come Dancing the BBC has also demonstrated it is still able to attract a family audience. And there is no reason to suspect large audiences will not continue to be attracted to series such as Bleak House or Planet Earth.
Nobody can predict how television will develop by 2016. But a reasonable guess is most people will use the latest devices for added convenience while still watching a lot of television in the traditional manner.
It is precisely because broadcasting, and commercial broadcasting in particular, is facing such uncertainty that it is vital to have a properly funded public service broadcaster to make programmes that the market will increasingly be less inclined to produce.
A decently funded BBC also happens to be useful to the Government to implement and pay for its manifesto commitment to take the UK digital by 2012. After that, when everyone has access to a multitude of channels and on-demand programmes and films, the pressure to move to a voluntary subscription service could start to grow.
By then the only counter argument that the BBC will be able to deploy is that it is making programmes of the highest quality, unmatched by anyone else.Reuse content
