NEW ORLEANS - It almost wouldn't have been appropriate for Ray Lewis' storied career to end any other way.
With the Baltimore Ravens clinging to a 34-29 lead and 2:39 remaining in Super Bowl XLVII, the San Francisco 49ers had a first-and-goal at the Ravens' 7-yard line. Baltimore's defense was banged up and clearly winded, having allowed 466 total yards to that point in the game.
After San Francisco's LaMichael James rushed for 2 yards on first down, the Ravens received a quick breather with the two-minute warning. Courtesy of tight coverage - and some questionable play-calling -- 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick threw three consecutive incomplete passes intended for wide receiver Michael Crabtree.
A few minutes later, the Ravens were officially world champions.
"How else would the game come down?" Lewis said. "Put us with our backs against the wall, and every man looked at each other and said, 'If they don't get in, we'll win.'
"Who else does that but a team that's been battle-tested? A team that doesn't waver no matter what situation it's in. We did it. That's what the Ravens are, man."
The Ravens' once-vaunted defense certainly wavered, especially as the 49ers reeled off 17 consecutive points in the second half. San Francisco averaged 6.3 yards per carry, and Kaepernick threw for 302 yards, but Baltimore buckled down on a key two-point conversation and again at the end of the game.
"The final series of Ray Lewis' career was a goal-line stand to win the Lombardi Trophy," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "We have said many times after many of these games, 'It was not perfect, it was not pretty, but it was us.' That is who we are."
Lewis spent the past two seasons relying heavily on bike training to stay in shape to help reduce the pounding on his legs. However, it was clear time was catching up to the future Hall of Fame linebacker even before he suffered a torn triceps on Oct. 14. The Ravens' run defense was beginning to sag, and there were whispers that the end of the 17-year veteran's career was close.
He convinced general manager Ozzie Newsome not to place him on season-ending injured reserve, and he promised he would be able to return to help the Ravens. And that he did, resuming practice in December and returning to the field for the team's playoff opener at home against the Indianapolis Colts. Continued...
Lewis announced before the playoffs that he would retire after the season. It was his "last ride," a nice metaphor to his training and the rallying cry for the three-game winning streak that brought the Ravens to New Orleans.
Lewis wasn't perfect against the 49ers - far from it. He was often making tackles downfield and a step late in coverage, but part of his Hall of Fame resume is Lewis' legendary leadership.
"The cool thing about Ray is that it means a lot to win it for him just because - not only did he want to win it for himself, but the bigger thing was that he wanted all of us to know what it is like to win this game," Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco said. "So the fact that he has that outlook on it just made it very special for this to come true."
Lewis took running back Ray Rice under his wing when Rice entered the league in 2008, and the two have been close friends since.
"After the season is over and after we do all our stuff, next year the locker room is going to be different," Rice said. "This is the one thing that's not going to separate us for life. We'll forever be champions because we won the Super Bowl."
Whether that locker room in 2013 includes 11-year veteran Ed Reed remains to be seen. He's scheduled to be a free agent, and he contemplated retirement last offseason. Reed maintained even after the victory Sunday that he intends to play next season.
"I am enjoying this right now," Reed said. "I plan on doing it. I love football. So long as I am healthy in the offseason and everything is good and my son if he doesn't say, 'Dad you gotta come home,' I plan on coming back."
"I am enjoying this right now as long as I can."
Reed returned to the game after suffering a knee injury in the first quarter, and he was rewarded with his first Super Bowl title. He arrived a year after Lewis won his first.
"I told him he's getting everything I have tonight," Reed said. "We gave him everything. Defense. Goal line. San Francisco has a great team, and we win on defense on the goal line. It is the way it had to be for Ray. It was so right." Continued...
Ray Lewis' last ride has one final stop - delivering the Lombardi Trophy back to Baltimore.
"I do everything in retirement," Lewis said. "Everything around me is my kids. It is the most ultimate feeling ever. This is the way you do it. No other way to go out and end a career. This is how you do it."

Current Aesthetics: Mariinsky Ballet
Posted 22 May 2011 - 07:08 AM
Cubanmiamiboy - thumbs up to you.
Speaking generally about ballet -- the reason it is not rhythmic gymnastics and the reason it is not a sport: There's a reason for technique and proper alignment. The Russian school is built on 200+ years of history. Vaganova solidified it in the 1930s, which I discuss in my book. There is a "correct" way for each step, each pose, and each transition. Distorting them is distorting the classical school. If you want high legs, or positions that are arrived at "any which way", "go to the circus," as the Russians say.

Well it's a long long discussion, not one for a forum. I do address this issue in my book.
One point of view however, could be this:
The Mariinsky isn't promoting so much as it is responding -- to the audience. Unfortunately you have a chicken/egg effect going on. When unskilled/untrained/uneducated audience members go for the first time and happen upon a ballerina who is whacking her legs, or giving inappropriate dramatic additions in the wrong roles (ie a flirtatious look as Queen of teh Dryads, for example) those audience members know no better, they have no other point of comparison. There are no comparable historical dance traditions in the USA, so how is one to know that this is inappropriate? She did it onstage, she's with this company, that makes it OK doesnt it?
It surely looks impressive (I don't think there's any argument there-- it draws attention at least) but is it in alignment with classical tradition? Is it in support of the school training they studied 10 hours per day for 9 years? No, it's not. And from there you can stem into several arguments, including:
a) when the West cheers, the company responds by billing the dancers they *believe* the West wants to see most. If inappropriate leg kicks sell more tickets, well unfortunately the days of 100% state funding in Russia are over...it has to compete, and unfortunately it is competing w/the fast pace of 21st century (shortened) attention spans. A higher leg *has to be better* because it is higher. Doesn't it?
b) it is the very infiltration of the West (as argued by the Russian pedagogues now in their 70th+ decade of life) that created these higher traditions, the splits, acrobatics etc...altho Lopukhov did experiment with the same in the socialist realism-laden 1930s...
as I said it's too big a topic that touchs on too many other issues just for a forum discussion. While researching my book, it was interesting to hear the poitns of view of the people inside the theatre, both dancers and pedagogues...

Interesting that some pedagogues blame the West when Western companies seem much less excessive overall these days than the Russian ones - Guillem started the trend, of course, but gymnastics have been incorporated into Russian training(s) to an extent unheard of elsewhere I think. It may have to do with perceptions of the "West" and Western audiences in Russia as well, of course...
You're right, it's not necessarily the place for this discussion, but I'm glad you address the issue in your book - should be a fascinating read.

Second, I disagree that the Mariinsky has dumped an evolving dance tradition because a small portion of the audience in the West reacts to tricks that belie the underlying aesthetic of their training. Where are these audiences? I'm sure promoters would love to know. The Bolshoi tried this in Vegas, to no success, stranding dancers in the US. It would certainly be easier for the Vaganova Ballet Academy to train the type of dancer we see in youth competition videos ad nauseum.
Alina Somova, for example, is, or at least was, assigned opening nights in St. Petersburg, dancing for what is allegedly the most knowledgeable ballet audience on the planet. Was this due to audience demand? If not, why wouldn't the powers that be at the Mariinsky send her off as an import to get those valuable dollars, while casting the dancers who embody their training for the home crowd?
The Bolshoi tours the US much more than the Mariinsky, and the Bolshoi has featured Maria Alexandrova, Natalia Osipova, Anna Nikulina, Nina Kaptsova, Ekaterina Shipulina -- more-so than originally planned for the DC "Le Corsaire's, due to injury to Nikulina and Osipova's emergency visit to a hospital -- and a much toned-down Svetlana Zakharova on recent tours. None of them come close to what was in the Storick video.
If there's a Western influence, it may be in the rush to add contemporary and neoclassical works to the repertoire. However, the dancers we see are not part of a young group to which neoclassical and contemporary training have been added to the Vaganova curriculum. The Mariinsky doesn't have a subsection of the company that specializes in contemporary ballet that constitutes a substantial part of the repertoire, like Paris Opera Ballet. The Mariinsky is casting dancers with contemporary mannerisms and teenage competition aesthetics in "Swan Lake".

Firstly, that was a bit bitchy and unnecessary and detracted from your sentiment that audiences aren't "ponies" to be trained, which to a great extent I do agree with, as ballet can seem extremely rarified and exclusory to new viewers, and though eight years is indeed hardly a total novice, it does mean that you've come in at the tail end of a debate about technique and aesthetics that has been going on for almost thirty years with the explosion of Sylvie Guillem on the international dance scene.
Because what Catherine is talking about and indeed what many of the board members lament, some of whom have been viewing ballet for six decades is that the very nature of classical ballet has been destroyed, homogenised and the soul of what made each individual company great, its style, its technique and approach to ballet has been lost.
You've been to see a good variety of companies and that's great, but the sad fact is that much of the time the company members of the great companies and second tier companies are completely interchangeable. Technique and approach is increasingly one great big mulch. There was a time when the Mariinsky, the Royal, POB, NYCB, RDB etc each has a specific approach to the classics, to the technique of classical ballet, a unique and specific repertoire for which they were known or an approach to a shared repertoire. People knew that when they watched a Swan Lake by the Kirov it was a very different beast from the Royal. Classical ballet which has a universal language of steps however had a completely different language of dialect in terms of nationality, company and the stars who were produced by those companies.
Also those stars and great dancers were not expected to be Jack of all trades. A great classicist was just that, a virtuoso first soloist or demi caractere soloist was a different beast, a dancer with a more contemporary physique and technique was that too, now every dancer is expected to be as at home in the classics, as in Forsythe, Macmillan, Bournonville, the God-awful Macgregor or Mats Ek. And this has made companies muddy generic, the very qualities certain dancers were prized for takes a backseat to a catholic circus virtuosity. Judged by today's criteria as to what makes a dancer and what their physical talents must be in order to succeed, artists such as Fonteyn, Ulanova, Farrell, Seymour, Plisetskaya, Vasiliev wouldn't even get into a ballet school today, let alone become stars.
The problem is with the Skorik developpe at the end of the pas de deux, is that yes, I agree it's an impressive feat of flexibility but it isn't ballet, it's acrobatics, moreover were her partner to take his support away she'd fall over - classical ballet is a language of dance based around placement, balance and in the case of the great Classical works great restraint. Skorik's flexibility in a Forsythe work would be just the ticket, but in Petipa it's just wrong. But pretty much every ballerina now does what she's doing so it's more or less expected by the audience, but then you have to ask would they mind if she did a classically placed developpe?

Now it sees to me that at some point in the Soviet Union the training emphasized showing beautiful ending positions (I mean at the end of a musical phrase, not only at the end of a variation), high extensions and big jumps. In between steps, speed and musical phrasing was not emphasized as much. This was reflected in the choreography done by those companies before they were exposed to Balanchine and others from the West.
We don't know what the balance of values really was when Vaganova was around, she did study with Cecchetti and her teaching was a blend of the ballet teachings of the day, yet the training that has evolved in Russia is very far from Cecchetti.

It's cool, you love the Skorik developpe it means something to you and that's what it's all about. I think the thing is that nowadays one sees that kind of extreme flexibility everywhere so that there's so little to compare it to, to other ways of working. What people get upset about isn't the Skorik approach so much as what's been lost.
Here are some interesting bits of comparison if you like to take a butchers of ballerinas from different eras in the same pdd:
This is Ulanova from 1940 with the Kirov, widely considered to be the greatest ballerina of all time by many:
This is Fonteyn with the Royal Ballet circa mid 60s:
Makarova 1976 with ABT:
And this is Guillem, the prototype of the modern ballerina in 1987
Posted 22 May 2011 - 07:35 PM
Now, there ARE those exceptions in which the dancer is just such STRONG technician that some extensions here and there seem to be just a justified part of a whole-(Guillem comes to mind). On the contrary, I believe that if the ballerina is just unable to fulfill the basic technical requirements of a certain piece, then it is just a sin to try to impress with legs over head. When I saw Storik, she danced the black swan PDD with Kolb, and around the 10th fouettee she started traveling out of control all over the stage. By # 15 the spinning was really bad and her working leg very low...and by # 20 she just had to stop mid dancing, while the can-can-type bars were just in its high climax. She had to start inventing stuff onstage, posing and trying to make up for the long time left, while Kolb looked at her with a perplexed look. I closed my eyes...I NEVER in my entire ballet attending years had ever witnessed such a disaster onstage. Then, one wonders...what's the sense on showing some silly high kicks after such an embarrassing display...?

I agree and I would add that Guillem's high extensions did not involve straining her body or distorting her line (at least not in the Swan Lake I saw).
I will leave Skorik aside because this was a rehearsal video and, indeed, completely decontextualized from any performance in which a particular pose or moment can be fairly assessed in its full impact, but generally speaking when dancers distort the classical line to get a high extension in a nineteenth-century work, it looks not only unharmonious to me, but strained and awkward. I think I understand what Angelique is seeing in the Skorik video--but when I have seen the torso shift like that in the theater for a high side extension in a nineteenth-century work, what come to the fore for me is the sheer mechanical shifting of weight. At its worse, it can look ungainly.
Certainly, in some twentieth-century or twenty-first-century works an ultra high extension with a slightly distorted classical line may seem acceptable or even effective especially when the emphasis is not so much the position as the quality of movement (energy, power, etc.). At New York City Ballet, I don't necessarily get as concerned about proper alignment. And I myself some years ago defended a Dvorovenko "six o'clock" arabesque penché at the end of Giselle against some sharp criticism on this board--I thought she made it suggest her aspiration heavenwards. So, I am not the purest of purists...
I am also sure there are dancers of such poetic genius they can make you go along with any quirk (Skorik and Somova -- neither of whom I have been fortunate enough to see -- may be that for some) but those kind of quirks should be the unexpected exception, not the rule. Unfortunately, many of us feel that these distorted and strained lines are becoming the rule even in nineteenth-century ballets and, depressingly, nowhere more so than in the company that, for many of us, once was the embodiment of classical purity--a living and vital classical purity.
Like Helene, I find the claim that this style of dancing is a response to what "western" audiences want to be very unconvincing. There have been Western ballerinas with unusually high extensions (Guillem, Bussell) though they had less distorted lines than we are discussing, but they were/are not the "western" norm. Farrell danced an entirely different repertory and would seem to be an inappropriate comparison. More to the point, as far as responses to the great Russian companies go...could Somova be taking more of a pasting from the public in the U.S. and Britain? Even Guillem has never been fully 'accepted' in the United States as the great artist I believe she is or as a popular "star" (like Osipova) and I distinctly remember that when Zakharova was unveiled early in her career, with no-holds barred extensions in Sleeping Beauty, she, too, was criticized whereas the less over-the-top Vishneva was warmly received and has many American fans. (Of course, now she dances with ABT which adds to her American fan-base.)
The "audience favorite" guest artists with ABT this coming season are Osipova and Cojocaru--both of whom have clearly been trained to press their extensions, but do not do so remotely to the extent of Zakharova and Somova. I think it can hardly be said that these are dancers who are not popular with wide ballet-going audiences. And in the generation just prior to the current generation, who was a bigger Kirov/Mariinsky star in the West than Assylmuratova?
Now: is there some larger phenomenon going on--a "gymnastics-ization" of ballet that has in different ways affected top companies across the globe including the Mariinsky? That is a thesis I would find easier to take seriously...though it is an argument that needs some nuance as well.

Helene, on 22 May 2011 - 12:44 PM, said:
The operative word here is "was." The winds of change have blown. Not only was Ms Somova taken off this past Feb/March Canadian tour and had no full-evening ballets at the Mariinsky Festival but she is scheduled to dance no full-evenings between now and the rest of the season at home. She will appear only in two one-act Balanchines between now and July: Rubies (McBride/Vishneva role) and Symphony in C (1st movement). C'est tout. Sounds to me as if the aesthetics are in flux. Perhaps making room for the about-to-graduate gorgeous classicists (Kovaleva students) Olga Smirnova and Kristina Shapran? (Not to mention existing classicists on the Mariinsky roster who have recently come back from injuries, etc., such as Osmolkina, Pavlenko, et. al.)
Catherine, I am SO looking forward to your tome.

The program of study named for Vaganova has been handed down quite purely by the methodology department within the Academy since her death in 1951. A panel of pedagogs work endless to examine and re-evaluate the program of study all the time, meaning all day and everyday within the school. It is an amazing thing to watch. Changes are made, yes, but if you read Vaganova's writings from the beginning of her work until her death, you will find that she herself changed many things. In the study of the program as a teacher in St. Petersburg we are told not to think of it as a dogma, it is a living breathing body of work that will indeed change with time mainly due to the demands of choreography.
As for the "hands" and "epaulement" being the same in Vaganova and Balanchine training, no they are not alike at all. The Balanchine hand is held as if holding a golf ball or a ping pong ball between the middle finger and the thumb, a hand used in some character work in Vaganova Academy. The classical Vaganova hand is a more flattened hand that blends into the line of the forearm and wrist. It continues the line of the arm rather than end the line of the arm. The thumb is indented toward the second joint of the middle finger which lays flat, pointing toward the center of the hand. As for epaulement, the turning of the head does not epaulement make. It is more of how one uses the upper back and torso in relationship to the lower body and diagram of the classroom plan. The two schools of thought are very far apart. Balanchine schooling teaches inclinations of the head from the start and the twisting of the torso while Vaganova schooling does not teach inclinations of the head until midway through the training but it is connected to the inclinations of the body. As for the twisting of the body, it is used in choreography but not in the academic schooling with the exception of 4th arabesque.
As for speed, the speed in the upper levels of training in Vaganova Academy are quite comparable to the speed of the work at SAB. Please do watch th 7th and 8th year offerings on youtube. It is quite astonishing. I finished my studies in St. Petersburg in 1995 however the tempi requirements for the upper levels have been in place since my late husband left is pedagogy training in the late 1970s, if not longer.
Catherine, I await your book with happy anticipation. When will it be available?

How did that get there? For the first time on camera foreign objects indeed alien objects are removed from a human's body!
- Skeptical yet open-minded analysis separates doubtful evidence from truly promising leads.
- Join a surgical team as it removes truly alien objects from an abductee's body.
- Experts from UFO Magazine examine actual sites of history's most famous UFO events.
The serious consideration of UFO phenomena is too often clouded by the desire to believe, the overriding wish that there really is alien life and it has visited us. But in this exciting, all-new series from THE HISTORY CHANNEL®, the UFO HUNTERS are unafraid of the possibility of alien life but unwilling to settle for hope, hoax and hunch. In every episode an authoritative team of experts from UFO Magazine and the scientific community go onsite to reconsider history's most significant UFO events, applying a fresh, empirical eye and drawing definitive conclusions about the phenomena.
Can proof of alien encounters be found within our own bodies?
UFO HUNTERS chronicles several close encounters with alien abductees who have been held captive, probed, examined and had objects implanted in their bodies. While alien abduction is a common and highly documented phenomenon, proof is often hard to come by. But this UFO HUNTERS episode, ABDUCTIONS, brings you closer to physical evidence, in the form of objects implanted in people's bodies, than ever before!
For the first time ever, the team gives viewers access to a surgery that removes an alien implant from an abductee's body. With the help of accredited doctors and scientists, UFO HUNTERS examines this object to determine its origin and composition.
Is the truth in us? Get this DVD of UFO HUNTER: ABDUCTIONS to find out!

Fred Hoogervorst: African Jumbo
- Posted on Wednesday 23 April 2008 - 14:58Fred HoogervorstThe African elephant is known to be the largest mammal on land. Photographer Fred Hoogervorst went to the African savanna and shot beautiful pictures of the Jumbo elephants living in the area.Elephants grow to about 3 to 4 meters high, they have a birth weight of approximately 120 kg, a male adult weighs up to 6000 kg, adult females around 3500 kg. Elephants live in close family groups, with the oldest female in charge. They roam over their habitat in herds of 15 to 25 animals. They can run at speeds of up to 40 km an hour, and hardly make any sound on their cushioned tree-trunk legs. Their average lifespan is 60 years. The major problem for elephants in today's Africa is : space. The persisting increase of the human population, less and less land remains for the elephant.
When young males reach adulthood, they separate from the herd and start a solitary hike to find another commune, with females to mate with. Females can give birth every four to five years. A calf is small enough to pass beneath its mother's stomach until it is a year old. During its first year, an elephant calf will remain close to its mother, never roaming more as a few feet from her side. Up to its fourth year, it is being breastfed. All females take part in raising the young. They have to learn how to operate in the complex social network in which they live their lives. Young ones are very playful, love to play in the mud, and need a considerable amount of time to learn how to get control over their trunk.
The trunk
The trunk is a highly important organ, it serves as a hand, arm, tentacle, trumpet and : shower squirt. With its 40,000 muscles the trunk is a particularly strong instrument that enables the elephant to even pull down trees.
These friendly giants, still hunted for their ivory, treat each other affectionately, and are in contact with their own sort in distant communities. As an expression of their affection and also in their greeting rituals, you can see them entwine their trunks.
Elephants spend 16 hours a day feeding. On average they eat 150 kg a day, and they can drink 135-270 litres of water a day. They seek out water holes where they can also bath and take mud wallows, where they use their long, flexible, prehensile trunks, to suck up water to squirt into their mouths, or to spray over their body to cool down. Not just to attend to the needs of their skin, but also for fun. They love their visits to the water holes. It is not exceptional that they spend an hour or more drinking and playing in and around the water. They are known to be able to swim considerable distances and quite often submerge their entire bodies, leaving only their trunks above the water to enable them to breathe. Often they are totally wrapped up in their play, and it is difficult to tell whether they are just playing, engaged in mock battles or really fighting the established position in the hierarchy.
Sleep in standing position
At mid day, the herd follows the matriarch to the shade of thickets or clumps of trees for a rest. Adults generally sleep in a standing position, though they do sometimes lie down. Young calves generally sleep lying down, with the corporal protection of the group.
Encroached upon by man and his need to plant crops, the elephants' territory is rapidly narrowed. The free existence of the herds has nearly come to an end already. Even the survival of the species is in danger.
Survival lies within natural parks and reserves, where elephant and human interest can be kept separate. Increasingly confined to smaller areas, elephants can cause rapid and dramatic change of their environment, and because of this and to keep the population at manageable levels, elephants are culled, females are treated to become infertile, or, in most positive circumstances, entire herds are being relocated to other parts of Africa. This incidentally is a very costly affair.
Climate problems
In the perspective of tourists, the African savannas, the vast plains and forested areas are paradise for herds of antelopes, zebra, buffalo, wildebeest, giraffes, elephants and other species more. However, climate problems, held off rains, but also encroaching mankind and unfavourable political decisions make it more and more difficult to maintain natural habitats for the many animals. Moreover, illegal hunting parties are being organised to date, and it is hard to bring the ongoing poaching activities to an end.
The African elephant therefore, unfortunately, is yet an endangered species.

Lid sinds December 2011I am just in awe at how majestic how the African Elephant looks. I think a lot of children in Africa would love to have an elephant as a pet, though I still prefer dogs. It is a pity that hunters still hunt them for their ivory despite the plenty of measures taken to protect them. On their own, they are already threatened by climate and dwindling numbers. I hope we can do more to help preserve this endangered species so that our children can have a chance to see one in the wild.

We took Rick to Bass Pro. He bought his fishing license and a pole for Henry (gotta have a fishing buddy!). Then Rick taught Henry to cast. And Henry is really good. Like so good that Rick set up a rock as a target and Henry could hit it. Wowza. My dad would have been SO proud. So a belated happy father's day to the two best dad's ever. Mine and my husband.
2 thoughts on "Wordless Wednesday: Father's Day"
It was just announced that a Bass Pro is coming to Sayreville. Are they any good.
Great picture of Rick and Henry.
It is a big place. Lots of hunting and fishing gear. And boats. The one near us has a seafood restaurant in it too.

For almost half a century, the Blue Ridge Opportunity Commission (BROC) has worked to alleviate the symptoms of poverty and help people help themselves achieve economic self sufficiency in Ashe, Alleghany and Wilkes counties.
"Most people do not know we're here," said BROC Case Manager Louise Ham.
Formed as result of the Economic Opportunity Act (EOA) of 1964, BOC was chartered by the state of N.C. in 1966 as a nonprofit community action agency to help low-income residents in the tri-county area.
The agency continues to subscribe to the goal of the EOA, directing its efforts to the elimination of "poverty in the midst of plenty in this nation by offering to everyone the opportunity to live in decency and dignity."
Ashe County's Blue Ridge Opportunity Commission serves the community through its Emergency Services Program and other agency projects, including its career closet, seed sharing and weatherization programs.
Emergency services include rental assistance to prevent eviction, electrical assistance to prevent disconnection of service or to reestablish service, heating fuel assistance in the winter months, crisis food assistance and prescription assistance. Community Service Block Grants fund BROC's crisis outreach efforts.
"Some people have been out of work for a while and don't have clothing to wear for a job interview," Ham said. The BROC career closet works in conjunction with the thrift shop to help clients find suitable clothing for job searching.
Through the seed sharing program, families can receive $25 vouchers to purchase seeds for planting home gardens.
The weatherization program focuses on upgrading substandard low-income housing through energy conservation measures such as insulation, caulking and weather stripping.
Eligibility criteria for project acceptance are base on income requirements, but also on clients' express willingness to pursue self-sufficiency, education and basic job skills. BROC coordinates with other agencies
Through self-sufficiency, I work with a certain number of families, coaching them and trying to help break barriers that are keeping them in poverty, " Ham said. "In this program, clients have to do their part and I have to do my part to make it work."
"Due to limited funding, sometimes I can't do a whole lot, but I can refer clients to other programs that may be able to help meet certain needs." she said.
Limited funding also means some projects are already at a standstill for the year. The agency's shoe voucher and prescription medication projects are currently out of funds, Ham said.
Ham is the only paid staff member at the Warrensville office, but works with the support of 27 volunteers. Her office currently serves nine families in self-sufficiency, 40 families in seed sharing, 34 individuals in prescription assistance and has helped 177 families with electrical and heating assistance since August 2012.
While BROC does operate with some grant funding, it also raises money through its Warrensville thrift store, where every item is priced $1. The store is open 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 8:30a.m.-3 p.m. Fridays.
An indoor flea market is also held 8 a.m.-noon every Friday, Ham said.
The agency's fundraising arm, the We Care Planning Committee, works to raise money for BROC projects with raffles, Chritsmas tree sales and festivals. A yard sale and bake sale fundraiser is scheduled for Sept. 6-7.
Blue Ridge Opportunity Commission accepts all kinds of donations, from clothing to linens to household items and furniture. Monetary donations are also accepted.
"We take everything," Ham said.
Donations can be dropped off at the BROC office at 169 Warrensville School Road, just off Northwest School Road. BROC is located in the old Warrensville School building across the creek from Jim's Corner Furniture.
For more information about BROC or to make a donation, call 336-384-4543 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Getting life insurance
Life insurance is a contract with an insurance company in which you pay a certain premium payment each month in exchange for the company's promise to pay a much larger amount to those named as beneficiaries (receivers of insurance benefits) in the event of your death. Life insurance policies are designed to protect your family from financial hardship.
Life insurance decisions generally become more important to people as they get older. During your student years, your marital or parental status will probably be the biggest factor in deciding whether or not you need this type of insurance.
Protecting or investing
Most people buy life insurance to guarantee income to their children or spouses and protect their estates following the insured's death. A second reason for purchasing it is to build additional financial security and flexibility through "permanent" life insurance.
Term life insurance
Term life insurance is the kind of policy you'll select if you want to provide coverage for your dependents over a set period of time. If you die while the policy is in effect, your beneficiaries receive a fixed amount of money (the "death benefit"), and they don't have to pay federal income taxes on this money. How the money is paid can be determined by the policy owner or left up to the beneficiaries. Generally the beneficiaries make the decision after they become eligible to receive the money. Term life insurance does not accumulate a cash value.
If you were to die suddenly from an illness or accident, term insurance could help cover day care, food and medical expenses for your child. How long the money lasts depends on the amount of the death benefit and your survivors' living expenses. A one-year renewable term policy may cost several hundred dollars for death benefit coverage in the $250,000 range.
Term coverage can also be purchased for periods of as long as 20 or 30 years, although shorter policy periods may be a better for college students who have temporary guardianship of a child. When you stop paying, the policy is terminated. Unlike permanent life insurance, you will not get anything back for the payments you made when you stop the policy. This is essentially like "renting" life insurance.
Permanent life insurance
Permanent life insurance policies come in several varieties and sometimes have higher initial premiums than term policies. Permanent life insurance provides death benefit payments to your dependents after you die, but also offer the additional benefit of accumulating a cash value as you continue to make your premium payments while you are alive. Death of the policyholder is not necessary to take advantage of accumulated cash value (the "living benefit") during times of financial need.
Permanent life insurance begins to look more like a financial asset as it increases in value over time. Some ways to take advantage of the growing cash value of a permanent policy include the following:
You can borrow money against the policy's accumulated cash value. These loans do not have to be paid back with cash. The insurance company basically pays itself back by subtracting the amount you borrowed from the death benefit. Borrowing against your policy, however, can leave your dependents without adequate death benefit protection.
You can annuitize the cash value of permanent insurance. An annuity is a special kind of insurance contract between you and the insurance company where you pay into an income tax deferred account over a period of time (or even in a lump sum), and the insurance company pays you a guaranteed income, including interest, at some point in the future. Annuity payments are usually arranged to provide retirement income. The interest paid is often at a fixed rate, set each year by the annuity issuer. Converting $20,000 of life insurance premium payments into an annuity is somewhat like creating an interest-bearing savings account which the company returns to you in preset increments. You do not have to pay taxes on the growing $20,000 account until the insurance company begins sending your payments. Also, if you should die while getting retirement payments, your beneficiaries can receive the balance of the annuity. However, if you annuitize the cash value of the life insurance, the life insurance death benefit goes away.
If you decide to terminate your permanent life insurance, you can get some of its cash value back all at once—possibly more than you put in. You can use the accumulated cash value of terminated permanent life insurance as you please, but in this case you may have to pay taxes on a portion of it.
Permanent life insurance is much more complex than term insurance. Policies can be structured in a number of different ways. With some, the premium amount and death benefit stays the same as long as you carry the insurance. Other policies allow you to adjust the amount of your premium or your death benefit to suit your financial needs.

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies You'll Ever Have
The first is the chocolate chip cookie recipe that the New York Times named "perfection." Three secrets of the all-time best cookies? Let the dough rest for 36 hours (!) before baking. Use chocolate chunks or disks instead of measly chips. And sprinkle sea salt onto the cookies just before baking.
Here's the recipe:
Makes 18 5-inch cookies
2 cups minus 2 tablespoons cake flour
1 2/3 cups bread flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons natural vanilla extract
1 1/4 pounds bittersweet chocolate disks or chunks
Sea salt
Sift flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Set aside.
Using a mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars together until very light, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla. Reduce speed to low, add dry ingredients and mix until just combined, 5 to 10 seconds. Drop chocolate pieces in and incorporate them without breaking them. Press plastic wrap against dough and refrigerate for 24 to 36 hours. Dough may be used in batches, and can be refrigerated for up to 72 hours.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat. Set aside.
Scoop 6 3 1/2-ounce mounds of dough (the size of generous golf balls) onto baking sheet, making sure to turn horizontally any chocolate pieces that are poking up; it will make for a more attractive cookie. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt and bake until golden brown but still soft, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer sheet to a wire rack for 10 minutes, then slip cookies onto another rack to cool a bit more. Repeat with remaining dough, or reserve dough, refrigerated, for baking remaining batches the next day. Eat warm, with a big napkin.
The other cookie we chose is Rice Krispie Treats, because a friend told me recently that they're the top seller at bake sales. "Everyone loves comfort foods," she says, "and these remind people of their childhoods." For a more adult version, we chose the New York Times recipe for Caramelized Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats, which are richer and more complex.
Here's the recipe:
Makes 30 to 50 treats
8 ounces butter, salted or unsalted, plus extra for pan
1 10.5-ounce bag marshmallows
1 12-ounce box Rice Krispies cereal
1. Line rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or wax paper, or butter it well.
2. In a large pot, melt butter over medium-low heat. It will melt, then foam, then turn clear golden and finally start to turn brown and smell nutty. Watch closely and stir often.
3. When butter is evenly browned, stir in marshmallows. (If using unsalted butter, stir in 1/8 teaspoon salt.) Melt and cook, stirring often, until mixture turns pale brown, then stir constantly until lightly browned but not dark, 3 to 5 minutes.
4. Turn off heat, add cereal, and mix well, preferably with a silicone spoon or a spatula. Scrape into prepared pan and press down lightly. If necessary, butter hands to press mixture flat. Let cool, and cut into squares or bars.
How delicious do these look? Thanks, NYTimes!

So I was going to write a blogpost today about really buckling down and watching what I eat but then I saw this post...I HAVE to try those rice krispie treats!! Omg they sound good!!!!! =)
Ergo - BlogThe NY Times chocolate chip recipe really can't be beat. My husband found them a few years ago and now they are my birthday request instead of cake. SO GOOD! I think the built in anticipation for waiting on the dough helps make them even yummier. We make them big (like 3-3.5" wide) and one is good enough for dessert. Best warm out of the oven with a tall cold glass of milk.
ReplyDeleteThe rice crispy treat recipe is almost the same as the one by Smitten Kitchen, but she emphasizes adding the marshmallows to the browned butter off heat because it will keep your treats soft and pull-apart delicious instead of stiff and super crispy like styrofoam. The browned butter is more than hot enough to melt the marshmallows off heat.
That said, I've made the Smitten Kitchen recipe more than a few times and now when I show up to dinner parties, the first question I get is "did you bring any treats?!"this is hands-down the best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever. i made about 10 batches of them for our wedding favors a few years ago, and they were a huge hit. i now make them regularly. sooo good. the only change i make to the recipe is i do a mixture of chocolate. instead of 100% bittersweet, i do 1/3 bittersweet, 1/3 semisweet and 1/3 milk chocolate. it's a subtle difference, but i like the variations of sweetness as you nibble through the cookie. and i cheat, i use ghiradelli chips.
ReplyDeleteI'm always anxious to try new choc chip cookie recipes. Yum yum yum! Sometimes I go a little cookie-kooky and put panko breadcrumbs in them, or even orange zest.
Emily | Sparkle Meets PopFirst, what kind of person can let cookie dough sit in the fridge fro 36 hours and have anything left to bake? Second, I suggest that you wait for the marshmallow-browned butter melt to cool for a few minutes before adding the cereal. It's doesn't need to be room temp, but if you let it cool until it's just warm, the cereal will stay crispy.
ReplyDeleteWe make thos choc chip cookies all the time - our favorite. But we use all purpose flour, normal chips, and rarely manage to let the dough sit at all, and they're just as wonderful. The only thing you can't forget is the salt on top, bc it changes the texture somehow, and they taste too sweet/boring without it.
ReplyDeleteNo joke! Those cookies are the BEST AND ONLY COOKIE RECIPE ANYONE WILL EVER NEED. I have a batch in my fridge chilling for the 36 hours right now! I did a test run last time, eating one baked after 4 hours, 12 hours, and then one closer to 36. Yes, it does make a difference. It's hard sometimes, but wait the full 36 hours. You'll be happy you did!

click here it coursesThese are definitely circling the interweb right now because they literally ARE the best chocolate chip cookies ever. My sister is a fanatic baker and finally made a batch, they're amazing. the bread and cake flour do something special, and chilling the dough is crucial. add sea salt and BAM! too good.
- caroline @thecopperavocadoSounds gorgeous! How about everybody's favourite- Mars Bar cake: 5 Mars bars, 5 ounces of butter, and as many Rice Krispies as you like. Heat butter and chopped up Mars bars and stir for ages over a low heat until the chocolate mixture becomes glossy. Add Krispies. Transfer to Pyrex dish. Leave to set. Sprinkle with smarties. It's chewy and chocolatey and DIVINE! A favourite here in Ireland...
ReplyDeleteI just have to chirp in as you are using my favorite cookie recipe ever. However, I kind of enjoy the cookies better when you don't let the dough rest. I know, I'm taking all the fancy out of it. I think the texture turns out even better. And, I like the chunks or the discs okay, but what is even better is to actually finely chop up some of the chocolate as the cookies get a marbled cookie look to them and the chocolate dispersion is more even. And I always weigh the ingredients to make sure the ratios are correct.
ReplyDeleteChocolate chip cookies are the only kind of cookies I ever, ever crave so I was looking around for a good recipe last year. I found this recipe and never looked back. Everyone I've ever made them for have loved them! They really are a winner. Not hard at all, just takes a little patience and planning ahead. It's nice to make a lot of dough, so you always have some on hand in the freezer for emergency baking situations.
ReplyDeleteJoanna Goddard thanks for sharing this wonderful article about one of my favorite Cookies i really appreciate that.
Nice post
ha ha ha you make me remember those cookies which my MOM made for me last weekend.
well the chocolate chip cookie was accidentally developed by Ruth Graves Wakefield in 1930. now at present day Nestlé's Toll House recipe is widely known, every brand of chocolate chips, or "semi-sweet chocolate morsels" in Nestlé parlance, sold in the U.S. and Canada bears a variant of the chocolate chip cookie recipe.definitely a recipe that needs some planning with that 2-day dough chilling period but looks like yours were worth the wait! And if there's anything I like more than choc chip cookies, it's Rice Krispies treats!

DUBUQUE – Reggie Shipp (Jr.-Aurora, Ill.) scored 26 points and helped Iowa Wesleyan College battle back to overcome a 12-point second half deficit to defeat Clarke College 83-81 Saturday afternoon in Midwest Collegiate Conference play.
The Tigers got their first conference win of the season, winning on the road at Clarke for the second straight year and improving to 5-7 overall, 1-1 in the MCC. IWC did it by coming from behind after trailing 67-55 with 11:15 remaining in the game.
IWC spent much of the game fighting from behind, taking a few brief leads in the first half but often chasing the Crusaders. Clarke opened up shooting red-hot from three-point range and took an early nine-point lead in the opening minutes. The Tigers roped in the Crusaders briefly on two occasions for one-point leads, but the hosts made a run just before halftime to go ahead by nine again and would lead 45-39 at the break.
The Tigers closed within one point twice in the second half before Clarke used another run to gain control. Josh Hutton and Nathan Bingham were trouble off the bench all day for IWC, and the two combined for 10 straight points capped by a Hutton three-pointer as the Crusaders took their largest lead at 12 points with just over 11 minutes remaining.
Beset by foul trouble, Wesleyan nevertheless began to work its way back on the game on the backs of Shipp and Weldon Miller (Jr.-San Rafael, Calif.). Shipp had all of the points in a 10-0 run to get the Tigers within 67-65, and then Miller went to work inside against Clarke star Thomas Ammon, who also had four fouls. Miller followed Shipp's streak with six straight points of his own, and his two free throws tied the score at 71-71 with 5:00 remaining.
Brett Azinger (Fr.-Montrose, Iowa) drove the lane and scored on a layup to give IWC the lead on its next possession, and the Tigers would make the Crusaders chase them the rest of the way. Wesleyan took a five-point lead before Clarke tied it back up at 77-77 on a Justin Heng three-pointer with 2:04 left. Miller would score again on a short jumper the next time down, though.
Both Shipp and starting point guard Gary Rademaker (Jr.-Emden, Ill.) fouled out in the final minutes but Wesleyan continued to hold the lead down the stretch. Rademaker scored with 20 seconds left for a four-point lead but was called for charging on the same play for his fifth foul. Ammon then made his first free throw but missed the second and Jamal Blackmond (Fr.-Aurora, Ill.) ripped down the rebound, was fouled and hit two free throws with 16 seconds left to give the Tigers an 83-78 lead. Hutton hit yet another three-pointer to make it 83-81 with five seconds left, but after two timeouts IWC was able to get the ball inbounds and dribble out the clock.
Shipp led five players scoring in double figures for IWC. Miller scored 16 points, Rademaker had 13 and Jared Callanan (Sr.-Bennington, Vt.) and Azinger both added 11 points. The Tigers shot 49.2%, making 32 of 65 shots, and also out-rebounded the Crusaders 43-37.
Clarke shot 35.9% for the game, making 23 of 64 shots, including just 9 of 32 shots in the second half (28.1%). Hutton led the Crusaders with 23 points off the bench and was one of five Clarke players in double figures. Ammon finished with three points and six rebounds, well below his averages of 18 points and nine rebounds entering the game. The Crusaders dropped to 0-2 in the conference and fell to 1-10 overall.
The Tigers have next week off and will play again next on Saturday, Dec. 12 at home against Hannibal-LaGrange (Mo.) College. Game time will be 3 p.m. at Ruble Arena.

Fun Flower Facts
How do I know what is appropriate when ordering flowers for a funeral?
Sympathy tributes vary region to region, so it is best to ask us what we recommend. Sometimes we will know what the family has ordered or what other tributes are being sent, and can create something for you that will be a nice complement to the other flowers. We are also familiar with any restrictions the funeral home or cemetery might have. Additionally, if a family has any special requests, we are usually notified and can pass that information on to you.
Rose Color Trends: Yellow Roses
A rose is a rose is a rose. Or is it? Unbeknownst to most of us, the 1990s spawned a virtual baby boom of rose varieties. Brought on by a fertile production period, today there are close to 120 rose varieties commercially available - up from the few dozen choices found in flower shops in the 1980s. These new rose varieties have not only expanded the color palette - from extreme lights to bright brights - but have enhanced characteristics such as bloom size, shape, stem length and strength of fragrance. Whether crisp lemon, buttery hues, golden yellows or trendy two-tones, the variety of yellow roses cover a broad spectrum of color - and appeal. If you've never given flowers to a man before, introduce him to this family of colors. Yellow is the second most popular color cited by men

Best Underwear
These underwear are the the best. They are very fitted to your body which I love! But yet, they don't feel too tight and are breathable. They're perfectly soft and the perfect thinness. They're just perfect.

Great Fit with a Fashion Statement!
These boxer mid-length briefs are very nice in appearance. I like the wide blue waist band with CALVIN KLEIN on both back and front. I like the pouch without the fly opening. The space provides good support for my package! These are for everyday use and are particularly suited for my favorite jeans. I might be the envy of the men in the locker room at the gym as we all know, many men don't pay a lot attention to their underwear. I have noticed that the younger men wear stylish boxers, but the older guys wear whatever they pull out of the drawer. In short, these boxer briefs make a fashion statement! Also, wearing nice underwear enhances self-esteem!

Too big, but great!
I love these boxer briefs, they're SO comfortable, but when I bought them I accidentally got them too big, I was running around and when I saw them I had to get them, they're so bold and I think everyone needs some CK underwear, or maybe even bras or EVERYTHING that CK has would be amazing. I got mine in red, which I don't know if they sell anymore, but again, it's just a comfortable thing to wear in maybe your favourite colour, because not many people will see it!
June 4, 2012
These underwear and all of the X series Calvin Klein underwear are really awesome! They fit perfectly and support me very well. And they are sexy to boot! My wife LOVES them! They fit just the same as they are new wash after wash too. After I tried these . . . a month later, these and other CK series underwear are the only ones in my underwear drawer!
Very happy with these.

Love this shoe!
Overall Product Rating (5 out of 5)
By pondlady
I had to order a few sizes before finding a good fit but for me this is normal. I ended up with a 61/2D (wide) and they are very comfortable with a medium-weight sock. If you want style and comfort, this shoe is for you!
Hush Puppie's Reply:
We are glad you finally found the right fit! Thanks for the wonderful review of this style, we really appreciate it!
