NAHL announces Combat Hockey Divisional Stars of the Week
The North American Hockey League (NAHL) today announced the Divisional Stars of the Week presented by Combat Hockey for the week ending December 9, 2012. The Divisional Stars of the Week is a weekly feature during the 2012-13 regular season that honors the top performing players in each of the four NAHL divisions as nominated by their respective teams.
Central Division Star of the Week: Drew Weigman, goaltender, Brookings Blizzard
The Brookings Blizzard took three of a possible four points over the weekend to get back on track, thanks in large part to the goaltending of Drew Weigman. The 19-year-old from Arnold, Maryland, who was the NAHL Goaltender of the Month for September, got back to his early season form as he posted a 1-0-1 record over the weekend, which included a shutout as he stopped 61 of a possible 63 shots for a 96.8% save percentage. On Friday, Weigman (6'1/185) stopped all 30 shots he saw in a 2-0 shutout win at home over the Aberdeen Wings. On Saturday, Weigman and the Blizzard pushed the 1st place Austin Bruins to the brink in the shootout, but came up short in a 3-2 shootout loss. Weigman stopped 31 of 33 shots through regulation and overtime. "Drew is right back to where he was at the beginning of the year when we was playing some excellent hockey," said Blizzard head coach Cory Laylin. "We needed to get back on track and he came up with some huge saves over the weekend to earn us some valuable points."
2nd Star: Adam Knochenmus, forward, Bismarck Bobcats
Honorable Mention (alphabetical): Zach Doerring, forward, Coulee Region Chill - Nick Lehr, goaltender, Austin Bruins – Aaron Nelson, goaltender, Bismarck Bobcats – Justin Parizek, forward, Aberdeen Wings – Tyler Parks, goaltender, Minot Minotauros – Spencer Peratalo, defenseman, Brookings Blizzard – Derek Smith, defenseman, Coulee Region Chill.
North Division Star of the Week: Brock Kautz, goaltender, Janesville Jets
Since losing eight in a row, the Janesville Jets have not lost in regulation in their last seven games and that included this weekend as goaltender Brock Kautz, 18, and the Jets picked up a weekend road sweep against in-state rival Coulee Region Chill. The native of Rochester, Minnesota, was in goal for both wins and stopped 70 of a combined 73 shots over the weekend, good for a 95.8% save percentage. On Friday, Kautz (6'1/180) stopped 27 of 28 shots in a 3-1 win. On Saturday, he may have been even better as he made a season-high 43 saves in a 3-2 win. Kautz has won four of his last five starts in goal. "I think as we have gotten better and more consistent over the last few weeks, so has Brock," said Jets head coach Joe Dibble. "Brock has valuable experience playing in this league and when he is on his game he is very tough to beat. Experience and confidence are two very beneficial things to a goaltender of his caliber and the team has really fed off his play."
2nd Star: Martin Gruse, forward, Michigan Warriors
Honorable Mention (alphabetical): Ryan Atkinson, forward, Springfield Jr. Blues – Collin Brennan, goaltender, Johnstown Tomahawks – Marcus Due-Boje, goaltender, Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings – Christian George, forward, Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings – Ryan Kellenberger, goaltender, Springfield Jr. Blues – Daniel Kucerovy, forward, Janesville Jets – Andrew McDonald, forward, Johnstown Tomahawks – Eric Rivard, forward, Soo Eagles.
South Division Star of the Week: Louie Rowe, forward, Texas Tornado
Texas Tornado forward Louie Rowe, 18, has found his game judging by this past weekend's performance as his Texas Tornado posted a weekend road sweep of the Corpus Christi IceRays. The native of East Lansing, Michigan recorded five points (3 goals, 2 assists) in the pair of wins and was also a +3 over the weekend. It is a part of an encouraging trend for the 6'5/205 lbs. forward, who has recorded over half of his total points this season in the last three games. On Friday, Rowe had a goal and two assists in a 7-2 win. On Saturday, he recorded two goals in a 5-3 win as the Tornado pushed their winning streak to four straight games. "Louie uses his size well and I think he has been a played that has flown under the radar until now," said Tornado head coach Tony Curtale. "He is a very good skater for his size, he is a hard worker and has improved every day since coming to us and is a very important part of our team right now."
2nd Star: Paul Berrafato, goaltender, Amarillo Bulls
Honorable Mention (alphabetical): Mick Bruce, defenseman, Topeka RoadRunners – Gage Christianson, forward, Amarillo Bulls – Justin Greenberg, forward, Texas Tornado – Kyle Sharkey, forward, Topeka RoadRunners.
West Division Star of the Week: Max McHugh, forward, Wenatchee Wild
Edgewood, Washington, native Max McHugh played a big role in Wenatchee's home sweep of the North Division-leading Jamestown Ironmen. The 19-year-old recorded four points (2 goals, 2 assists) in the weekend sweep as the Wild increased their lead in the West Division to four points. On Friday, McHugh (5'10/173) had the game-winning goal in a 3-0 shutout win. On Saturday, he scored with :29 seconds remaining in regulation to pull the Wild to within a goal and then :12 seconds later, won the face-off to his teammate Jono Davis, who tied the game with just :17 seconds remaining. It was McHugh's second assist of the game and the Wild ultimately won in a shootout. McHugh has 20 points in 23 games played to date. "Max has been creating a lot of chances for him and his teammtes the past month because he is getting his nose dirty," said Wild head coach Bliss Littler. "He is going into the tough areas and doing the hard work to create opportunities. He is very effective when he is able to collect points in even strength situations as well as on the power play."
2nd Star: Josh Hartley, defenseman, Wenatchee Wild
Honorable Mention (alphabetical): None.

When Doug Willmore became Bell's city manager last June, one of his first questions was about the padded black chair behind his desk. Had it been occupied by the man he was replacing, Robert Rizzo?
No. To his relief, that one had been chucked.
"I'd sit on a folding chair instead of his chair, or a stool," Willmore said.
FULL COVERAGE: Bell corruption trial
In the seat of power for 17 years, Rizzo became the face of a salary scandal in 2010 that sent the city to the edge of insolvency. Bell, just 2½ square miles in southeast Los Angeles County, became the butt of jokes everywhere and a rallying cry for reformers.
Now, six former Bell council members are facing trial in Los Angeles County Superior Court on corruption charges related to their lavish compensation during Rizzo's reign as city administrator. The council members made $100,000, mostly for sitting on boards that rarely, if ever, met.

Today's post is the baos that I read from my dear friend, HSB. This recipe is the most fluffly and soft of all the baos I made before. Love it, and I definitely will use this recipe for the rest of my baos making..:) Thank you Bee Bee!!
If you'll like the bao's pastry recipe, kindly refer here.
I've made this with my favourite bbq meat fillings, and some with red beans fillings too. No matter what's the fillings are, its so yummy even you eat it by its own. Interested on my homemade bbq meat recipe, you can view it here.
The method of folding the fillings into a roll was shown exactly above. Place the sealed part face down on the parchment paper.
I may try with peanuts and vegetarian fillings the next time I make. The whole portion of the baos were cleared in 1 day!!

Retailers Amazon Japan, Rakuten, and Gamers! are all listing that Kentarou Miura's Berserk manga will get a novel that will ship on June 23 titled Berserk: Honō Ryū no Kishi (Berserk: The Flame Dragon Knight).The retailers list Makoto Fukami and Miura as the authors. Fukami is the series composition writer for the new Berserk series that premiered last year, as well as the continuation that premiered on April 7. Fukami also wrote the script for the Psycho-Pass television anime series and film, and the Resident Evil: Vendetta film. He is also a novelist known for the Young Gun Carnival light novel series.
But if it's canon and Miura contributed heavily then it implies a lot for the future of the series. For example the past of some characters (Grunbeld, Locus, Rakshas, Irvine... and more) might be told through novels and skipped in the manga, which would be very regrettable in my opinion.
As much as I like back story, like you said, I'd rather have them in the manga (for multiple reasons) than in a light novel. I'm still curious to know more though.
I'm too burned out on shitty Berserk non-manga media to get excited. We got a crappy anime and a crappy game within a year of each other. Who's to say that this is going to be any better? Especially if it was written by one of the hacks involved with the recent show. Oh, Miura may be credited as one of the authors, but what exactly does that mean? That he actually was involved with the writing, that they're basing the story off of some plot details he gave out, or are they just plugging his name in for authenticity's sake? Or is it just a mistake by the retailers or ANN? Miura was credited as writing the third episode of the anime, and considering what a train wreck that was, it's not enough to fill me with confidence.
Well as Aaz said, no need to jump to any conclusion right now. We have no detail at all as to what to expect. But I'm a little bit like you on the subject though. I hope it's not gonna be something lame as a "companion" book. The only thing that would make me interested is if it's by Miura himself. And again as Aaz said, it'd feel like a betrayal if we got some background stories in another format.
To me, the best case scenario is that this recounts something without much importance about Grunbeld and that Miura's billed as an author because he's the original artist and also because he'll have done some illustrations for it. That's the best case scenario because it has no impact on the main product: the manga. Either way, this week's Young Animal issue should have all the information we need, assuming natalie.mu doesn't reveal it first.
I really hope it won't involve anything related to the current plot or any relevant character, i'd prefer that everything would be shown in the manga. But that title is ominously hinting too much on Grunbeld
Does anyone know, forgive the ignorance, who had the final choice on this matter? Is it Miura who agreed on the creation of this project or is it Hakusensha who decided everything without giving him choice. In that case Miura might have agreed to assist the writer just to avoid the novel would result in a disaster, since he didn't have a choice anyway.
If the novel is indeed a canonical in depth from Miura, perhaps the logic for not including it in the manga is that the story/information being conveyed just doesn't have a place that would naturally fit in with the narrative flow?
And just to be clear I'm talking about Grunbeld's backstory here. His final fight and subsequent death would probably be a good, easy place to interweave it, and it wouldn't take a volume to tell the tale.
Another thing this light novel reminds me of are the Fullmetal Alchemist Light Novels (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Fullmetal_Alchemist_light_novels) which were written by another author collaborating with Hiromu Arakawa, which while not an "official" part of the manga were still done in a way that they were canon-compliant with the manga
how the Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage story had Miura contributing to it.
So maybe it'll end up of being something similar to that level of narrative significance. A story about Grunbeld Miura had a passing interest in making but didn't deem important enough to be part of the manga?
Miura didn't just "contribute" to the story of the Dreamcast game, he wrote it entirely by himself. And he originally planned for it to tie in with the manga, but the story had evolved in a different direction by the time it caught up and so it fell into a sort of limbo (not really canon, but canon-compliant, like you said). Of note is that he also did the character design (original concept art) for all characters and enemies in the game.
Oh thanks for the clarification (I wasn't sure because the wikipedia entry of the game listed Tsuyoshi Tamai under the writing credits for the game as well).
Also I forgot/didn't realize that the Dreamcast game actually came out before Miura had finished the Conviction Arc in the manga (I wonder if fans felt the game spoiled the climax of the Conviction Arc when it came out at the time?).
I wonder how much else Miura changed/revised during that period of time (late 90s/early 2000s) since wasn't there also some promotional calendar art that had Azan traveling with Guts and co.? (that also hinted at Schierke joining eventually?)
If you're interested in learning more about it I really recommend the Berserk Visual & Story File (an artbook that was made about it that also contains comments from Miura and the full script of the game).
Is that one hard to find? I'd be interested in checking it out. (I got the illustrated files last year and was really happy to have new stuff to check out by Miura, but I did not read it in it's entirety)
It's been out of print for over a decade, but it can be ordered used from Amazon.co.jp, just follow this link.

Hi everybody!!
Yes, it's been ages... again... But I'm here with an awesome tutorial for you!
Yes, it's been ages... again... But I'm here with an awesome tutorial for you!
Now, everyone know's I love, love, LOOOOVE Harry Potter. Well, I've seen these Platform 9 3/4 sign's online- YouTubers have them and Etsy is selling them and apparently, a market in the U.K. has them. Alas, I'm in Ireland and currently have no money to spend on such items, so I decided to make my own! I tried googling it, to see if anyone has any tutorials for me to watch on it, but apparently, noone else seems to have posted one. Then, I thought I should.
So I did!
So I did!
Some little notes for you on what I used and how I made it:
~The board I used was 38" x 5.5", but it can be any size. This just happened to be what my Dad had in the shed.
~Make sure to sand the board before you start so it has a nice, smooth finish.
~I drew the letters and numbers freehand and with a ruler- I had a photo of the sign at King's Cross opened in front of me. Link and link.
~I made the letters 4cm from the top and 4cm from the bottom and they go just past halfway across. But because the numbers are bigger, I made them 2cm from the top and 2cm from the bottom.
~The black paint I used is designed for use on model toys I believe, (a link to this paint is here) but it say's it can be used on metal, wood and other surfaces. The White is just ordinary Dulux wallpaint- you could use this or acrylic. ~I used 2 coats of black and 4 of the off-white and I didn't need anywhere near the amount of paint that I have pictured. This really doesn't use much.
~This took me about 8-10 hours between waiting for coats to dry.
~I have yet to figure out how to hang it up, but I think picture hoops screwed into the back (one at each side) would be the best choice.
~I didn't varnish it as I don't want it shiny, but you can if you wish :)
I made a video on it, so you can watch me make it. Here it is!
Please watch and enjoy :) Here is a link to the video on YouTube if you need it!
Any other questions, please ask :) Let me know if you make one and how it turns out!

madkins1868 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.

We are a team of industry veterans with extensive experience across software development, project management and interactive/creative disciplines.
The principal teams background has been building applications - typically backoffice tools for things like inventory management, ordering, sales tracking. We have done this across industries as diverse as financial/banking, healthcare, public sector, energy, retail, consumer package goods, DoD, and many more. We saw a niche in the market, as many times - these applications were built with poor usability, layout and overall creative design. In addition, many firms charge exorbitant rates for well built applications.
We formed to offer great-looking, usable business application development at reasonable rates. We use onshore knowledge resources who work closely with our clients analyzing and designing applications, and our offshore development division in Bogota, Colombia for implementation and quality assurance. We want to portray an image that is experienced, knowledgable and innovative but also friendly, accessible and creative.
Where we struggle in developing our logo/brand is the line between a corporate image, and a creative design shop. There is a place in between, and that's where we want our logo to take us.
We typically focus on mid-market companies who don't want to pay the higher rates for boutique development firms, but need an experienced partner in building their application portfolio and helping solve their technology related business problem – not an individual or contractor. These companies look for firms with expertise in their specific niche, and are looking for a bargain - solid experience at a great price.
Our audience would be technology service buyers in these mid-market firms (typically a CIO or VP of Technology). In larger firms, this may be a Director within a specific focus area.
These firms may have explored using offshore or near shore development firms, but weren't comfortable with non-US resources. We do not want to tout or play-up or offshore capabilities - but it is important for some clients to understand that our ability to deliver at great rates includes this offshore component.
We aim to be perceived as solid, trustworthy and knowledgeable to our clients. We also want our clients to think of us innovative in our approach and in our ability to bring outstanding technical and design expertise to building web applications. We do not want to be perceived as a creative or interactive shop. Instead, we would like to look like a creative shop with a business application development focus.
I spent a lot of time writing a different creative brief that probably wasn't read. To simplify, I modified it. The new brief -
The logo needs to say
1. Technology
2. Design Innovation
3. Pragmatic Methods
Osadio is derived from the Spanish word "osado" which means "bold" or "daring". This is probably a hard concept to turn into a logo, but we are looking for something with real inspiration. The three sets of words defined above are what our company is about.
I've amended the requirements because while we are getting some great designs, none really has anything to do with technology, boldness, daring. There are some good pieces of artwork, but not many logos.
We do not want any clipart or stock images in the logo. We are looking for a unique, custom design that will look great on letterhead, website, business cards and a great sign in our offices. Logo needs to feel like a creative, business application development company. No cartoon imagery.
The files should be in print file format - .ai (CMYK) and web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB). Our current company website is http://www.osadio.com (it is about to go through a complete overhaul) and the current logo is attached

WebSphere eXtended Transaction Runtime (WXTR) version 2.1 was released last month, on 15th June. Version 2.1 brings a number of enhancements to the first version 1.0 that was released an year ago. Primary themes of version 2.1 are targeted at enhancing the overall value proposition of hosting COBOL applications in WebSphere Application Server (WAS) along side Java EE applications to unlock the value of existing COBOL applications with new ones written in Java EE.
The picture below depicts the three major themes very well,
On the first note, WXTR extends from being a COBOL container on WAS to support C application deployment as well. With this, traditional transactional applications written in C or COBOL can be hosted by WXTR in line with Java EE applications on WAS. WXTR now supports Oracle database as a resource manager in addition to DB2.
With version 2.1, WXTR delivers a greater value through superior integration, higher scalability and security features.
- You can have a Java and a
COBOL or C program share the same transactional context. What it means is,
you can start a transaction from a Java EE application and have the modules
in COBOL or C programs part of the same transaction. Like they say, you
can have Java, COBOL or C applications in the same logical unit of work.
- COBOL or C applications can be part of a cluster along with a Java EE program in a seamless manner using WAS ND. While we can exploit the clustering feature in WAS ND. Failover mechanisms can be implemented using HACMP solutions.
- Security context now gets propagated from WAS to WXTR allowing users to maintain the same credentials across and WXTR further uses this to authenticate or authorize.
WXTR v1.0 added a feature pack recently on Modernizing Oracle Tuxedo Applications. Version 2.1 extends the value by supporting C applications as well.
For more information about WXTR v2.1 highlights refer to the links below,

100 percent service availability is the hallmark feature of Datacom's Christchurch data centre. The modest-sized facility has withstood devastating earthquakes, snow storms, and record winds, all without disruption to customers' IT systems. Key to this success story is the robust design of the plant room equipment, which provides dual-power feeds to every rack, each fed from separate UPS systems via independent switchboards. Our backup generator with automated power changeover switching has proven to be 100 percent reliable during the numerous street power outages resulting from over 12,000 earthquakes since September 2011. To guarantee fuel supply under the most demanding situations we own a trailer-based fuel tank that we can tow to nearest out of town fuel station.
Seismic bracing ensures every data centre rack and all plant equipment remains in place, even during the most violent earthquakes. It's an essential feature when designing for maximum up time.
The Christchurch data centre facility can be considered a "boutique" data centre, modest in size, which enables us to provide the highest standard of service to our customers.
Key features:
Datacom's Orbit Data Centre located in Auckland's North Shore is a purpose-built Rated-3+ facility independently certified by the Uptime Institute and others.
Datacom's Kapua Data Centre located in Hamilton is a purpose-built independently certified Rated-3+ facility.

HOW TO PROPERLY HANDLE, STORE AND COOK SEAFOOD We've taken every precaution to deliver seafood our products to you safely. Below, you will find some safety tips that you can practice while purchasing, handling and storing seafood to ensure your complete satisfaction.
Buying SeafoodSeafood is a highly perishable food. Be sure to purchase your fish from a reputable supplier with proven safe seafood handling practices. After that, it's up to you! Always be sure to pick out seafood items at the end of your shopping trip – removing them from refrigeration at the last possible moment. Pack your seafood items with other cold items in the same grocery bag. Do not pack edibles in the same bag with chemical products or fragranced items such as dryer sheets. Use these indicators to ensure the fillets are fresh:
- LOOK: A fresh fillet should have a nice shine to it. This indicates the fish has not dried out (if previously frozen, expect less shine). Dull flesh may indicate the fish is not as fresh as possible. There should be no discoloration (darkening, browning or yellowing of the edges). The bloodline of a Tilapia fillet, for example, should be a nice shade of red or maroon, not brown.
- TOUCH: The fish should be cold to the touch. The flesh should be firm. Press the flesh with your finger (or ask your fish monger to). If the pressure leaves a lasting indentation, the fish is probably safe to eat, but perhaps not as fresh as it could be.
- SMELL: All fish should have a 'sea or bay breeze' and mild smell – not a 'fishy' or ammonia smell. Smell is perhaps the best indication of whether your fish is fresh or not. If the fish has been marinated or breaded by your grocer, we recommend using smell as your best judge for freshness.

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2009 Media Releases
Mayor Chris Beutler invites the public to join him, St. Joseph Catholic School students and the City's Parks and Recreation Department in celebrating Arbor Day 2009. A public celebration is set for 9:15 a.m. Wednesday, April 22 at the Trendwood Park playground, south of "A" Street at S. 77th St.
Mayor Beutler will read an Arbor Day Proclamation, and the St. Joseph students will provide entertainment for the 30-minute program. Weather permitting, the students and others attending will help plant 22 trees in Trendwood Park in observance of Arbor Day's 137th anniversary and in recognition of the "Re Tree Nebraska" program. The Re Tree Nebraska program is a campaign to plant one million trees in Nebraska by 2017.
In case of bad weather, the celebration will be at St. Joseph's, which is south of the park at 1940 S. 77th St.
Pinnacle Bank is again the corporate sponsor for this year's Arbor Day tree planting ceremony. Great Plains Nursery is supplying the trees.
Re Tree Nebraska is being led by the Nebraska Forest Service, the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum, the University of Nebraska Rural Initiative and several UNL entities - the Extension Service, the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture and the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
Arbor Day was founded in Nebraska in 1872, by J. Sterling Morton, a former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. The official observance in 2009 is April 24. State offices will be closed that day, but City offices will be open.

I was going to tell you all about the Little Free Library I threw together for the Red Cross storm shelter I was working in during Hurricane Sandy, but my co-blogger Nancy already mentioned it in her great post about how the storm impacted our home state of New Jersey. Still, I thought I'd share the photo here.
I'm also proud to point out how I ended up using this random act of kindness to get good publicity for libraries. I shared this picture on a Facebook group called ALA Think Tank, where the motto is "make it happen" (#MIH). The folks in that group are all about progressive librarianship and not settling for the status quo. They encouraged me to submit a story about my storm-shelter library to the hip, popular site Boing Boing, (edited by the likes of Cory Doctorow), and helped me do it. ALA has a group dedicated to getting library stories onto this blog to help make the world aware of our greatness.
Indeed, my story got posted and has gotten over 450 likes & shares. (Can you help get it up to 500?) Library Boing Boing is always looking for more stories about good works. Jenny Levine tells you how to do it here. So come on, use ready-made avenues like this to tell the world that libraries are useful and innovative! I didn't think that taking a box of books along to a shelter was a big deal, but look what happened just b/c I shared that little action. You can do it too!
And when you get the write-up for your great work, if it's published outside of library literature, don't forget to submit it to The Great Librarian Write-Out to win $$$!!

Kelly Clarkson Surpasses Carrie Underwood's Best-Selling 'Idol' Record
She stole the hearts of the voting public after being crowned 'American Idol' during the wildly popular reality show's inaugural season, and now Kelly Clarkson is taking back the title of best-selling 'Idol' single of all-time, beating out country superstar Carrie Underwood.
Clarkson's 'Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)' has dethroned Underwood's 'Before He Cheats,' but only by 1,000 copies — Clarkson's hit has officially sold 3,510,000 to Underwood's 3,509,000 in single sales, the Hollywood Reporter reports. Still, even such a small margin means that officially, Kelly 'Crossover' Clarkson has the best-selling 'Idol' single ever.
Just last year, Clarkson, with help from country superstar Jason Aldean, claimed the title of best-selling country collaboration with the 2011 smash 'Don't You Wanna Stay,' which has sold more than 2.1 million downloads to date. Underwood and Brad Paisley follow close behind with a double platinum certification for their No. 1 duet, 'Remind Me.'
With two monster country collaborations under her belt, Clarkson is solidifying her presence in country music with 'Mr. Know It All,' the Texas native's first solo country single, which is spinning country-style nationwide. The kiss-off tune is likely to crack the Top 20 soon, as it is currently sitting at No. 23 on the Billboard charts. Off radio, she is dating Reba McEntire's stepson — and Blake Shelton's manager — Brandon Blackstock.

Congratulations to inpatskitchen whose A Tomato Sandwich Worthy of a Little Bacon won this week's contest for Your Best Meat as a Flavoring!
1. Describe an early food experience that has influenced the way you think about food and/or cooking.
I was always amazed at how my Mom was so organized when preparing for large dinners or family get-togethers. She was an amazing cook and I watched carefully. Every year she would do a sit down dinner for 10 to 12 on Christmas at 1 pm and then at 4:30 would open up the house for 30 to 40 more for a large buffet. She taught me how to cook and plan ahead and to this day if I can prepare anything ahead of time, I do. I inherited her "Betsy Clark" recipe file book in which she wrote many of her recipes (although not too precisely) and refer to it frequently. It's well worn and very stained but so many good things are in it, as well as so many memories.
2. What's your least favorite food?
I'll eat them but I'm not crazy about Sloppy Joes.
3. What is the best thing you've made so far this year?
Husband Tom said my last meatloaf, but I recently made "Dad's Favorite Seafood Stew" which I have posted on this site. I had forgotten how easy and wonderful it is!
4. Describe your most spectacular kitchen disaster.
Actually this past week ... I made pork hand pies for the street food contest but they turned into "bricks". Tom tossed a piece of pork into the dog's bowl and it literally bounced! Oh well, you win some ... you lose some.
5. What is your idea of comfort food?
Roast chicken and then the next day chicken noodle or rice soup from the leftovers.
6. Apron or no apron?
No apron ... just a lot of Zout and Shout!
7. What's your favorite food-related scene in a movie?
I'm not much of a movie-goer but I did get a kick out of Darryl Hannah eating the whole lobster (shell and all) in Splash until I found out it was all tofu!
8. If you could make a show-stopping dinner for one person, living or dead, who would it be?
Probably my mom ... I think she'd actually enjoy my cooking.
9. You prefer to cook: a. alone, b. with others, c. it depends on your mood
I prefer to cook alone but it's probably because of the size of my kitchen.
10. When it comes to tidying up, you usually: a. clean as you cook, b. do all the dishes once you've finished cooking, c. leave the kitchen a shambles for your spouse/roommate/kids to clean.
I usually clean as I cook but I have been known to leave the kitchen in shambles.

But Oh our children, our joy and rejoicing and the boast of our preaching, although the conditions of you all are joyous and pleasing, and ye are abiding in the true orthodox faith and established in the honoured sacraments of your church, and respecting exceedingly its spiritual ordinances, and rites and ceremonies, yet in this spiritual garden which the right hand of the Lord Christ planted by means of his priestly apostles, and their righteous disciples and successors, and in the spiritual cultivation of which they laboured, there are to be found two things which are displeasing, nay exceedingly grievous, and depressing, and heart-rending. — The first of these is the reception by some of you of the doctrines of those opposers who follow the Protestants, sometimes by receiving and reading their books, and sometimes by hearkening to their words, and being made to doubt by them and follow them. The second, that it has not sufficed that the adults have looked upon these poisons, but with your own hands you have cast your little ones into their deadly snares, since one gives over his boy to their school, and another his daughter unto them, that they may cause them to drink from their childhood the milk of error
I'm with the camp of 13 million Americans that believe politicians are, or are controlled by, Reptilians. I think only monks can solve this problem. It doesn't seem right that they prefer to ignore it.
Yes. Here are a few:http://returntoorthodoxy.com/formal-measures/I've been speaking and corresponding with a lot of priests and bishops about this lately, and they all agree not only that this is a problem, but that education - among the laity and the clergy - is the best means of addressing it. Our people need to have a firm foundation in Orthodox Faith and Orthodox practice, and then they won't be lead astray by spiritual poison packaged as fluff.
Yes we who are far from sainthood we can recognize a living saint and I'm talking from personal experience.Yes they are gentle soo gentle it can not be described it is like gentleness and humility in one and also they have this light this energy it's beyond words...and when you are near them you feel ecstatic and very happy
Education of an apologetical nature? (As someone who spent a couple of decades skulking the borders of every kind of Protestantism) I'd think this is a battle on their turf. Yes, I know Orthodoxy has most anciently made theological arguments. But the kind of abstraction and analysis moderns expect is literally destructive, that is, by nature it carves and dices, and so, in my opinion, leaves the soul less than whole -- and this is a symptom of the West but also, I think, a means of infection. To try to be more helpful, I'll give an example: By carving theology away from the rest of the life of man, his practice, culture, and so forth, the West manages to leave a great many questions begging. In this way, the attraction to Hollywood, wealth, scientific technology, and so forth is often shielded from scrutiny. And therefore, since in truth so much of human reasoning is not reasonable at all but incensive, the attraction to such bribes from the West can make apologetics a small obstacle. I suppose I should cut to the chase: I do agree that education is the answer for Orthodoxy but believe that it has to be whole, nurturing in men a strong sense of how valuable are the old paths, how honorable too (since somehow there is a sense of shame abroad in the world at not being Western), how the contentment and wholeness they brought the ancients is of a piece with the ancient faith and too precious a jewel to be rejected ...

MLB.com sits down with Mike Shannon
JUPITER, Fla. -- With the start of the regular season quickly approaching, MLB.com sat down alongside broadcaster Mike Shannon, who is about to begin his 43rd season in the Cardinals' radio booth. Shannon's connection to the club actually dates further back than that, as the St. Louis native began his nine-year Cardinals playing career in 1962.
Shannon, who has been watching the club throughout Spring Training, shared his thoughts on what he has seen over the past month and provided his take on what to expect in the year ahead.
JUPITER, Fla. -- With the start of the regular season quickly approaching, MLB.com sat down alongside broadcaster Mike Shannon, who is about to begin his 43rd season in the Cardinals' radio booth. Shannon's connection to the club actually dates further back than that, as the St. Louis native began his nine-year Cardinals playing career in 1962.
Shannon, who has been watching the club throughout Spring Training, shared his thoughts on what he has seen over the past month and provided his take on what to expect in the year ahead.
MLB.com: What has stood out to you this spring while watching this team play over the past month?
Shannon: Number one, knock on wood, we're still healthy. And I think the emergence of second baseman Kolten Wong. The first week of the [spring] season he didn't look very good. Now, he's just tearing the cover off the ball. He's always been great defensively and [had] a very fine arm. It's like he had a twin, and the other twin showed up.
He's just playing everything [well] as far as the fielding is concerned, but at the plate, he has been very aggressive. He's hitting the ball where it's been pitched. He's doing well against left-handers and right-handers. He stays in very good against left-handers. He's going to really improve our ballclub because it's going to give us two guys to play second base who can really play. And the manager, when he has a tough left-hander, he can play the very experienced second baseman [Mark Ellis] we got from the Dodgers. That improves our defense. It improves a lot of things.
MLB.com: Does [Wong] look like a different hitter than he was last year, when we saw him for about two months? What differences do you see with him this spring?
Shannon: Like a thousand percent [different]. He was overmatched every time we saw him last season. … He played extremely well in the Minor Leagues, and all the Minor League people were telling us what a great prospect he was. But in the times that we saw him, it wasn't there. Now, it is there, and he is everything he's been cooked up to be. He's been very impressive. He knows the strike zone. He's very aggressive at the plate, and he has some pop in his bat. The ball jumps off his bat.
He faced a tough left-hander, [Washington's] Gio Gonzalez, the other day. He's a tough lefty, and he had him two strikes and threw a ball out over the plate, and [Wong] hit a line drive the other way. Those are the kinds of things you pay attention to.
MLB.com: We know the Cardinals have a lot of young pitching, and saw it last year. What are your early thoughts about the pitching staff, and do you think it's set up to be a strength again this year?
Shannon: There's no doubt that that's a big strength of our ballclub -- not only in the starters, but in the bullpen, also. We have six legitimate starters, and whichever one [manager Mike Matheny] decides to make the fifth starter, [the other] is going to be such an asset in the bullpen. We have as good a closer as you can get with [Trevor] Rosenthal throwing 100 miles an hour, and he is getting better and better changing speeds and so forth. That's the strength of our club, no doubt.
MLB.com: Looking at the offense this year, it seems to have a little different dynamic. It looks more balanced with a bit of speed now that Wong and Peter Bourjos are in there. Do you think this offense, one through eight, can be better than last year because of a different look?
Shannon: It has the possibility of being that way. If you talk to the opposing pitcher, he'll tell you, 'Wow, that's not an easy lineup to pitch against.' If you look at the top five or six guys, depending what the lineup is, they're all .300-plus hitters. And they all have a little pop in their bats. There are not a lot of lineups that you can go from one through five, one through six, and have guys who have hit .300 in the big leagues. It starts with our leadoff hitter [Matt Carpenter]; he was phenomenal last year. You have at least two guys who are Silver Slugger Award [winners] in there, maybe three. Last year, at the bottom, we struggled with our offense. This year, I think it will be a little better.
MLB.com: I know we haven't had the opportunity to see the other NL Central teams, but when you size up the division, are the Cardinals the clear favorite to you? And how do you see the division playing out?
Shannon: Well, we haven't seen those other teams, as you say. But they're going to pick the Cardinals. They haven't picked the Cardinals to do anything the last three or four years. I think finally they said, 'You know what? This is a pretty good team. I think we better pick them.' Those are the so-called experts. They're going to pick us.
We haven't seen Pittsburgh. We haven't seen the Cubs. We haven't seen Cincinnati. We're going to see all of Cincinnati that we want in the first 10 days of the season. … Then the Cubs come to town, and we'll have them. So we're going to see our division, including Milwaukee, and nobody is talking much about Milwaukee. They could be the surprise.
MLB.com: Is that because of their pitching? Is that what stands out to you with the Brewers?
Shannon: Pitching is the name of this game. It always has been; it always will be. If you stay healthy… and that's another thing that's a plus for the Cardinals -- the depth of our pitching staff. There aren't many teams that have five legitimate starters. They are always looking for that fourth or fifth guy. We have six legitimate starters and maybe more than that if you talk about some of our Minor League guys.
MLB.com: As we go into the season, is there a question mark, a weakness that you see with this team?
Shannon: I haven't seen anybody that reminds me of the '61 Yankees in any league or anywhere. But our team is better this year for a number of reasons. First, defensively. We are a lot better defensively. If Matt [Adams] plays first base, we improve there. We improve with Allen [Craig] in right field. You have Peter Bourjos in center to go along with [Jon] Jay. I think they are pushing one another. And a veteran [player, Carpenter] at third. We're going to be a lot better defensively right off the bat.
MLB.com: What is this time of year like for you, and how much do you look forward to another season in St. Louis calling Cardinals baseball?
Shannon: This is my 50-something year; I quit counting a long time ago. But the great thing about our business is that when you come to the ballpark, you just don't know what is going to happen. I've come out and seen no-hitters. I've seen perfect games. The first no-hitter I ever saw in my life, I played in. And less than 24 hours later, I saw a second one. I saw a guy hit four home runs in a game. I've seen this, I've seen that.
We don't know what is going to happen with this Cardinals team. I will say one thing -- we are so fortunate to have great ownership and great people in our front office and on the field, also, that we're put in a situation where we're expected to go to the postseason every year. There aren't very many teams like that.
MLB.com: Yes, Cardinals fans are very lucky in that respect.
Shannon: I think this season, I've seen more enthusiasm than I have ever seen about a Cardinals baseball team, and that's going back into the '60s. They're going to come out and expect to see a very good baseball team, and they're going to see that. Our ticket sales are going to be three million by the time we get to April or May.
