JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 11, 2008) -- The ETSU men's basketball team will look to stretch its season long streak of six straight wins to seven when the Buccaneers take on Atlantic Sun Conference foe Gardner-Webb Saturday afternoon inside Memorial Center. Tip is set for 4 p.m. immediately following the Lady Bucs' game with GW at 1:30.
The Bucs, 8-7 overall, 2-0 in A-Sun play, are coming off back-to-back, hard-fought league wins over USC Upstate and Campbell. Meanwhile, the Runnin' Bulldogs -- who shocked the college basketball world earlier this season with a win on the road at Kentucky -- have been struggling lately and are 7-10 overall, 1-2 in league play.
This will be ETSU's final home game before a critical road stretch at Belmont (Jan. 17), Lipscomb (Jan. 19) and Jacksonville (Jan. 25). The Bucs are 3-2 all-time against GW, a series that dates back to just 2005-06 when ETSU first joined the A-Sun.
Fans unable to attend the game can watch the live video stream available at ASun.TV, or can listen to the free audio provided by the MSHA Buccaneer Sports Network located at ETSUBucs.com.

Buc Shots
A seven-time NCAA Tournament and two-time NIT participant, the ETSU Buccaneers enter the 2007-08 season coming off a regular season Atlantic Sun Conference championship with a 24-10 overall record, and a 16-2 league mark a year ago ... The Bucs return the 2006-07 A-Sun Player of the Year in junior guardCourtney Pigram (Memphis), as well as the A-Sun Coach of the Year Murry Bartow and All A-Sun Freshman team pick Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) ... Along with returning players like Pigram and Smith, the Bucs also return significant contributors to last season's success such as senior post Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.), senior forward Kenyona Swader (Smyrna), and senior guard Travis Strong (Memphis) ... Newcomers for the Bucs that are expected to contribute early and often include junior college transfer Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.), who was the JuCo Division II National Player of the Year last season, and lightning quick JuCo point guard Jocolby Davis (Meridian, Miss.) ... Several Bucs are currently leading A-Sun statistical categories, see page 6 of this notebook for more information on those players and their rank ... In addition, see where the Bucs ranks as a team and individually on the national charts on Page 4.
The series against Gardner-Webb
The Bucs are 3-2 all-time against Gardner-Webb in a series that began in 2005-06 when ETSU joined the Atlantic Sun Conference ... Last year, the Bucs swept the season series, including a 63-61 nailbiter over GW inside Memorial Center a year ago.
Last time against the Runnin' Bulldogs
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 2, 2007)- Down 59-50 with 4:48 left on the game clock, the ETSU men's basketball team found a way to regroup, outscoring Gardner-Webb 13-2 the rest of the way to escape with a 63-61 win in Atlantic Sun Conference action at Memorial Center ... The Bucs' (17-7 overall, 11-1 A-Sun) comeback got started with back-to-back 3-pointers from sophomore guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) and freshman guard Dequan Twilley (Shelbyville), cutting the lead to 59-56 with 3:05 left and brought the crowd of 5,163 to its feet. After a pair of free throws by the Runnin' Bulldogs made it 61-56, ETSU got two more baskets from Twilley, a lay up from senior Eryk Thomas (Fremont, Calif.), and a free throw from freshman guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) to make it 63-61. Smith's foul shot came after he blocked the potential game-winning attempt of Gardner-Webb's Thomas Sanders and grabbed the loose ball ... The Bucs certainly got the Runnin' Bulldogs' best shot, as Gardner-Webb hit on 50 percent from the field and a crisp 56 percent from beyond the 3-point arc. While the Bucs shot 54 percent from the field themselves, they hit just seven 3-pointers compared to 10 for G-W ... Both teams shot the basketball well in the first half, with ETSU posting a 51.7 percent clip (15-of-29), while Gardner-Webb hit on 50 percent (11-of-22) of its shots. The Bucs led 11-5 at the first media timeout with just over 15 minutes remaining in the half, and both teams traded baskets from there with ETSU holding a 35-30 advantage at the break. While ETSU scored a majority of its points on the inside, the Bulldogs stayed in it primarily with shots from outside, hitting on 6-of-10 from beyond the arc ... In the second half, G-W battled back methodically to take the lead for the first time at 43-40 thanks to a 3-pointer from Ricky McPhee with 14:39 left. The Bulldogs would hold that lead the rest of the way until Thomas' lay up with 1:10 remaining made it 62-61. ETSU proceeded to stop G-W's next possession when a shot by Chris Gash missed and Thomas rebounded. However, Thomas promptly turned the ball over giving Sanders a chance at the win, but Smith was there for the block and was fouled. After hitting one of two free throws, Takayo Siddle's 3-point attempt from the left wing missed and the Bucs escaped with the victory.
Last time out
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 10, 2008)- Senior guard Travis Strong (Memphis) scored 13 of his 16 points in the final seven minutes, helping the ETSU men's basketball team rally from an 11-point deficit in the final 11 minutes to drop Atlantic Sun Conference foe Campbell 74-69 in front of 3,321 Thursday night inside Memorial Center ... The game saw four ties and six lead changes before a Strong 3-pointer with just under a minute left gave the Bucs a 70-67 lead that they never relinquished. With the win, ETSU improves to 2-0 in A-Sun play, and moves to 8-7 overall on the year. Meanwhile, the Camels drop to 1-2 in league play and 5-9 overall ... ETSU, which did not lead in the game until the 6:24 mark of the second half when a pair of free throws by sophomore guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) made it 60-58, actually pulled its starting five players in the opening seconds after halftime and completely emptied its bench. With a lineup comprised of two freshmen, a sophomore and two junior college transfers, the Bucs kept in the game and gave their starters a chance to regroup and reenergize ... The strategy worked, as the Bucs used an 18-7 run to take a 51-40 deficit and tie the game at 58-58 with 7:34 remaining. From there, the back and forth battle ultimately ended with Strong scoring the final seven points of the game on a 3-pointer and four straight free throws to ice the game ... In the first half, Campbell used some hot shooting from the outside and a strong defensive effort to build a lead of as many as 11 points at 37-26 with just under two minutes left in the half. A free throw by senior forward Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.) and a 3-pointer by Courtney Pigram (Memphis) with four seconds left pulled the Bucs closer, but ETSU still trailed 37-30 at the break ... At the intermission, Campbell was shooting 48 percent from the field, 50 percent from 3-point range (6-of-12) and 100 percent (7-of-7) from the foul line. Sophomore forward Jonathan Rodriguez led the way with 14 points, while senior guard Jake Wohlfeil was a perfect 3-of-3 from 3-point range to net nine points. The Bucs' 30 points was their lowest offensive output in a first half this season ... For the game, the Bucs got a team high 23 points from Pigram, while Strong added 16 and Smith pitched in 10. ETSU out-rebounded Campbell 41-31 and grabbed 19 offensive boards to just 10 for the Camels. The Bucs shot 84.2 percent from the foul line and grabbed 11 steals ... Campbell got a game-high 25 points from Rodriguez, Kyle Vejraska netted 16, Wohlfeil scored 15, and Bishop pitched in 11. The Camels shot 50 percent from 3-point range (9-of-18), and were 80 percent from the charity stripe (16-of-20).
Bucs' RPI, Strength of Schedule rank among best in nation
Though the Bucs are off to a 8-7 start, it's understandable when considering ETSU has only played four home games so far this season ... More importantly, the Buccaneers' strength of schedule (SOS) currently ranks 35th in the country according to RealtimeRPI.com ... That SOS rank is obvious when looking at the RPI of ETSU's opponents in the early season schedule, which includes St. Mary's (4th), Dayton (7th) and Syracuse (11th) ... As for RPI, the Bucs rank a respectable 88th out of 342 Division I teams.
Home Sweet Dome
Since the 1996-97 season, the Buccaneers are an amazing 113-36 inside Memorial Center, good for a winning percentage of 76 percent ... The Bucs ETSU had won five straight at Memorial Center during the 2006-07 season before a loss to Belmont (1/2) ... The Bucs then rattled off 10 straight at home to stand at 15-1 on the Memorial Center floor that season, but fell to Belmont in the final game of the year in the championship of the A-Sun Tournament ... This year, the Bucs are 6-0 at Memorial Center so far.
The Bucs at
the Rainbow Classic
Spending a week in Hawaii during the winter months is always enjoyable, but ETSU's second trip ever to the Rainbow Classic was a bittersweet experience ... While the Bucs picked up their first win over a Southeastern Conference opponent since 1991-92 with a 76-58 victory over Georgia in the first round, the team finished the trip 1-2 after falling in back-to-back games to St. Mary's and Louisiana-Lafayette ... While the St. Mary's game was expected to be difficult -- considering the Gaels were ranked No. 2 in the RPI -- the 82-80 overtime loss to a 3-7 Lafayette team kept the Bucs from evening their season record to 6-6 coming home from the islands ... In two trips to the Rainbow, the Bucs are now 2-4 all time.
Non-conference home win streak at 16
Over the last three seasons, the Bucs have fared well against non-conference opponents within the confines of Memorial Center ... In fact, the Bucs have won 16 straight non-conference homes games since losing a 90-73 contest to Fresno State back on Nov. 27, 2004 ... ETSU has enjoyed wins over teams such as Marshall (2), Chattanooga, Central Michigan, Morehead State, Tennessee Tech, UNC Asheville, Eastern Kentucky, Radford and Appalachian State in that time frame ... Against conference opponents, the Bucs have won 10 straight regular season conference games.
Another championship banner
With a win against Stetson (2/22), the Bucs wrapped up an outright 2006-07 A-Sun regular season title and garnered the No. 1 seed in the week's league championship tournament ... For ETSU, it was the continuation of a recent string of success that dates back to the 2000-2001 season ... In all, the Bucs have captured championships in five of the last seven seasons, including back-to-back NCAA Tournament trips in 2002-03 and 2003-04, and a trip to the NIT in 2006-07 ... Here is the championship breakdown:
2000-2001-- Southern Conference North Division Championship
2001-2002 -- SoCon North Division championship
2002-2003 -- SoCon North Division championship; SoCon Tournament Championship
2003-2004 -- SoCon North Division championship, SoCon Regular Season Championship, SoCon Tournament Championship
2006-2007 -- Atlantic Sun Conference Regular Season Championship
New starting five
During the Bucs recent trip to the Rainbow Classic, head coach Murry Bartow used a completely new starting five, with junior guardJocolby Davis (Meridian, Miss.), junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis), sophomore guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.), junior forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) and senior forward Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.) ... While that group went only 1-2 on the trip, they did pick up the win over SEC foe Georgia and lost a close overtime battle with Louisiana-Lafayette ... However, the Bucs reshuffled the lineup again versus Appalachian State, moving Pigram to the point position, and inserting seniors Travis Strong (Memphis) and Kenyona Swader (Smyrna) to go with Tiggs and Reed ... That starting five is now 3-0 on the year.
Davis, Pigram and assist/turnover ratio
One positive to come from the early season schedule as been the play of both junior guardsJocolby Davis (Meridian, Miss.) and Courtney Pigram (Memphis) ... From a distribution of the basketball and offensive production standpoint, both have shown an ability to pick up assists without turning the ball over ... Currently, Davis ranks fourth in the A-Sun with an assist/turnover ratio of 1.6 ... As for assists per game, Pigram ranks 3rd with 3.9 a game, while Davis is 8th with 3.5 a contest
Pigram eclipses 1,000 points
Beginning just his third season at ETSU, junior guardCourtney Pigram (Memphis) has already eclipsed the 1,000-point mark with a jump shot from the right corner at the 17:52 mark against Chattanooga (11/28) ... That basket gave Pigram 1,000 for his career and following the contest with the Mocs ... The junior now stands at 1,187 for his career and ranks 17th on the all-time program scoring list ... The 6-1 shooting guard scored 325 points as a freshman and then netted a remarkable 614 as a sophomore ... His 614 points a year ago ranks 6th on the single season list.
Chilton's No. 42 comes out of retirement
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Aug. 31, 2007)- For many years, Tom Chilton's No. 42 has held a special place in ETSU basketball's history. Next season, fans will see that special number on the floor once again ... Chilton, who ranks first all-time with 26.1 points per game and fifth on the all-time scoring list with 1,801, has agreed to allow junior transfer Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) to wear his No. 42 jersey for the 2007-08 and 2008-09 season. Chilton, who now makes his home in Madison, Ind., said he was honored a current player would want to wear his number ... "I wish him the best and I'm honored he wants to wear No. 42," said Chilton, whose 42 is the only retired number in ETSU's program history. "I hope he always considers that the number doesn't make the player, but the player makes the number. A lot of hard work and effort went into that number during my time there, but ETSU gave a lot back to me and I wouldn't be where I am today without that university, so I'm happy to allow the number to be worn again." ... ETSU head coach Murry Bartow said he was appreciative Chilton would allow the number to come out of retirement, and he reiterated that the number will go back into retirement two years from now ... "Tom Chilton was one of the finest players to ever wear an ETSU uniform, and his willingness to allow Kevin to wear the number shows he is still proud to be a part of our program's tradition," Bartow said. "It's our expectation that Kevin understand the importance of the number and the responsibility that goes with wearing it." ... Tiggs, the 2007 National Junior College Division II Player of the Year, said he certainly understood the history behind the number ... "Mr. Chilton was and is a legend here, so wearing his number comes with a great deal of responsibility," Tiggs said. "I just want to play in a way that would make him proud."
Swader, Tiggs breaking out
Entering this season, a great deal was expected of both junior transferKevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) and senior forward Kenyona Swader (Smyrna) ... Following 15 games, the two are definitely meeting or surpassing those expections ... In the Bucs' win at UNCA, Tiggs scored the game winner with 1.7 seconds left and also picked up 20 points ... In the first Marshall game, Tiggs broke out with a game-high 26 points, and setting career marks in most every statistical category ... In all, Tiggs has scored at least 20 points in five of the Bucs' 15 games, and currently stands tall on the Atlantic Sun stat sheets, ranking second in field goal percentage and sixth in free throw percentage ... Meanwhile, Swader has provided an immediate offensive threat in his first 15 games, currently standing sixth on the team with 6.5 points per game ... Currently, Swader is 10th in the A-Sun with a 39 percent 3-point field goal percentage.
1,117 wins and counting
With a win Jan. 25 against Belmont, the Bucs collected the program's 1,100th win all-time ... In over 80 years of basketball, the Bucs are 1,117-901-27.
Bucs on the Tube
Along with the new ASun.TV package which will video stream all ETSU men's and women's home games on the Internet, the Bucs will again have a significant presence on the television screen as well this year ... In fact, ETSU's trips to Oklahoma State (Dec. 8) and Syracuse (Dec. 15) both aired live locally, with the Oklahoma State game showing on WKPT (ABC) and the Syracuse contest aired on WJHL (CBS) ... The Bucs will also appear on regional cable through the Friday night CSS Atlantic Sun Game of the Week with the Jan. 25th trip to Jacksonville and the Feb. 1 home game against Mercer scheduled for air on CSS ... In addition, Charter Main Street will air its weekly ETSU replay on Charter 13 and Comcast 14 Tuesday nights at 8 p.m., with the weekly games beginning on Dec. 4th with the Tennessee-Wesleyan game ... For a complete schedule, visit ETSUBucs.com.
Bucs dominate Preseason All A-Sun Picks
Last season, ETSU won its first Atlantic Sun Conference men's basketball title, but Belmont denied the Buccaneers the conference's automatic bid in the final of the General Shale Brick Men's Basketball Championship ... Entering the 2007-08 season, both the coaches and the media predict that the Buccaneers will again be battling the Bruins for conference supremacy ... Both chose ETSU as the favorite to win the conference and defend its regular-season title with Belmont second ... The Bucs were the clear choice by the media to win the tournament ... The Buccaneers, who have gone 28-10 in A-Sun play in their two years in the league, will continue to be led byCourtney Pigram (Memphis). The junior from Memphis, Tenn. was named the preseason Player of the Year following up his Player of the Year award for the 2006-07 season.

My Review
Jul 2, 2017
The cupcakes provide a Texas sized chocolate taste!! These are definitely a winner!!
Aug 18, 2016
They were delicious! When you make the caramel icing on the stove, make sure that you don't put the temperature too high, then your caramel will burn. You can't pipe this recipe, well I wanted too but it was to thin to pipe. I wanted to dye it blue, but I realized it was caramel icing. It tastes great! You should really try them!
Aug 10, 2016
I just made these for my husband who loves Caramel anything - cupcakes were moist but the frosting was the best - and for sure use paper liners -
Apr 1, 2015
What can I say but WOW.... this is in my top 5 cup-cake recipes. It has an excellent taste and the consistency is perfect. When I made the first batch the chocolate was maybe just not as strong as desired but it was still excellent. For the other batches I added an extra 1/8 cup of cocoa and these were a tad stronger and everyone likes these better. I did not use the mentioned frosting and the cup-cakes were sprinkled with chopped walnuts before baking and they turned out fantastic ..... this is an EXCELLENT recipe and it is highly recommended... enjoy ...
Jan 19, 2015
Personally, my family liked that these didn't have a strong chocolate taste. They were very moist and the frosting was very good. I made it into a birthday cake instead of cupcakes.
Mar 3, 2014
Cupcakes did not have a strong chocolate taste. to greasy and the frosty was good but to sweet.
Jan 8, 2014
I found this recipe yesterday and made it for dessert. I found the cupcake very good but the frosting was the best I've ever made. I will make again but maybe try using the recipe as a cake.
Sep 23, 2013
These taste good but you definitely need to use paper liners in the muffin cups because the cakes stick really badly
Sep 12, 2013
I could not believe the puddle of oil/butter that was in the bottom of each muffin cup after baking and removing from tin. I didn't think at the time , how much I was putting in. Will not make this recipe again. It tells me I must add a rating . I'll add 1 for the frosting.
Sep 12, 2013
Oh. My. Gooooodness! The aroma out of the oven from these chocolate cupcakes will make you crazy and then you pile on the caramel frosting. Have mercy!!

Google Inches Toward Wikified Maps
from the community-needed dept
I've been saying for a few months that Google should begin wikifying Google Maps, so that users can make corrections and add missing information to Google's map database. Google took a tentative step in that direction this spring when it allowed people to edit business locations. But now John Battelle reports that Google has unveiled technology that would allow Google to turn Google Maps into a full-blown geographical wiki, with "roads, lakes, parks, points of interest, businesses, cities and localities" all fully editable. Not surprisingly, Google is rolling this out cautiously, making the functionality available first in obscure places like the Bermuda, Grenada, and Jamaica where Google hasn't been able to acquire good map data of its own.
Playing around with the site, the technology is a little clumsy to use, but it works and I'm sure it will get better as Google's UI wizards get some user feedback. The really hard part, I think, will be cultivating the community that's required for a successful peer production effort. People tend to think of Wikipedia as a website, but as Clay Shirky points out, it's better to think of Wikipedia as a bureaucracy for arguing about edits that happens to produce a website as its byproduct. Wikipedia depends on a dedicated core of Wikipedians who referee the editing process, combat vandalism, and resolve disputes. Without them, Wikipedia would dissolve into chaos in a matter of days. So Google needs to figure out how to cultivate an analogous community of Google Map editors. There's a chicken-and-egg problem because they need to let people edit their own neighborhoods to really draw on local knowledge, but the site could be destroyed quickly if they don't have enough public-spirited editors in place beforehand. The incremental strategy they're pursuing so far seems like the right one: get people familiar with the technology, recruit people interested in map editing, and most importantly develop the processes and principles that allow the editing process to proceed smoothly.
Google will also want to think hard about licensing. Wikipedia uses the GNU Free Documentation License, which gives anyone the freedom to reuse Wikipedia content. This serves as a kind of social contract with users, ensuring that the data generated by the community continues to be available to the community. Google may find that it needs to make similar commitments before a significant number of people would be willing to participate in the editing process. On the other hand, freeing the map data might prove different if the vendor currently selling Google mapping data sees it as a threat. In that rather sticky situation, Google might be forced to start from scratch, creating a parallel site created entirely by users.

A number of dinos hang around at the entrance of the National Dinosaur Museum which had already closed for the day as I got there late after work. A hungry T-Rex eyed me off while I was taking the photos but thank goodness it was firmly behind the fence and besides the KennyKoala doesn't taste very good.
There are no kangaroos in Austria. We're talking about Australia, the world's smallest continent. That being cleared up, let's dive right in! Australia is a sovereign state under the Commonwealth of Nations, which is in turn overseen by Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth. The continent was first sighted and charted by the Dutch in 1606. Captain James Cook of Britain came along in the next century to claim it for Britain and name it "New South Wales." Shortly thereafter it was declared to be a penal colony full of nothing but criminals and convicts, giving it the crap reputation you may have heard at your last cocktail party. This rumor ignores 40,000 years of pre-European human history, especially the Aboriginal concept of Dreamtime, an interesting explanation of physical and spiritual reality. The two biggest cities in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney is more for business, Melbourne for arts. But that's painting in very broad strokes. Take a whirl around the panoramas to see for yourself! Text by Steve Smith.

The victory is Wabash's first ever in the NCAA playoffs. The Little Giants qualified for the tournament by winning the North Coast Athletic Conference championship behind NCAC Player of the Year John Holm.
Van Duyn (right) pitched a complete game, giving up eight hits and three runs while striking out four batters.
The Captains touched him for a pair of runs in the fifth, but only after Wabash had raced out to an eight-run lead.
"Brian had a fantastic game," Wabash Head Coach Cory Stevens said. "He has pitched two great games in back-to-back performances in his last two starts. He went 8-2/3 innings in the NCAC tournament and then today's complete game.
"He battled and wanted the ball every inning. We kept asking him how he felt and he said he was ready to go every time. Having a pitcher who wants the ball like that is tremendous."
"This feels great," Van Duyn said. "It's great just having the opportunity to play in the Regional and face really good competition. Ever since the Denison game three weeks ago I've really developed my change up. It's really been working well ever since. I haven't thrown it a lot, but it's just been that little difference maker that's helped me get through more than two or three times through a lineup. My control has also been better too."
The Little Giants scored four runs in the third and four more in the fourth to put the game out of reach. Wabash had 17 hits to eliminate the Captains, who finished the year 39-7.
Senior catcher P.J. Tyson (left) had a three-run triple in the third inning and finished the game with three hits and four RBI.
John Pennington had three hits and scored twice, while Chris Deig, John Holm, Montana Timmons, and Joe Johnson all had two hits. Every player in the lineup had at least one hit.
Wabash, now 22-21 on the year, will play Friday afternoon at 4:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) in the double elimination tournament against Salisbury.

BUY LEVLEN OVER THE COUNTER, IOWA CITY — Zach McCabe has now had back-to-back games of 20 points.
He's become the go-to man in Iowa's frontcourt. LEVLEN canada, mexico, india, He has to be at this point.
McCabe had another solid game, but it wasn't enough to keep the Hawkeyes from falling 79-73 to Nebraska at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, LEVLEN from mexico.
"Zach is probably playing the best of what we have right now, LEVLEN images, " Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said after the game.
McCabe was 9-of-11 from the field, including two 3-pointers, BUY LEVLEN OVER THE COUNTER. He has made 20 of the last 29 shots he's taken in the last three games.
"I'm getting open, australia, uk, us, usa, and I'm driving on people and getting to the basket, Online LEVLEN without a prescription, " McCabe said, a simple explanation for how he's been playing, but he's right, LEVLEN description.
McCabe has been able to find openings in opposing team's defenses, LEVLEN from canada, and he's been aggressive inside.
"Well, what he's doing is he's mixing it up, canada, mexico, india," McCaffery said. BUY LEVLEN OVER THE COUNTER, "He shoots threes, he drives the ball, he has put‑backs. LEVLEN dangers, He has versatility in his game but I think confidence is another side. He's very confident in himself right now."
McCabe has also taken care of the basketball — he's had just five turnovers in the last three games.
"He was a turnover guy, purchase LEVLEN online no prescription, and he's not a turnover guy anymore, Kjøpe LEVLEN på nett, köpa LEVLEN online, " McCaffery said. "So I think what that's done is helped his confidence. He knows he's not out there making mistake, BUY LEVLEN OVER THE COUNTER. He's typically making one good play after another helping our team, LEVLEN steet value. So that combination of things is really what's helping him."
"Just being smarter with the basketball, LEVLEN pics, seeing things a lot differently, that's really helped," McCabe said, LEVLEN interactions.
McCabe has had to step up, LEVLEN wiki, because the Hawkeyes continue to get little production from sophomore Melsahn Basabe.
Basabe played just 13 minutes and had just one point. BUY LEVLEN OVER THE COUNTER, He did not take a shot in the game, and had just one rebound.
"No effort, order LEVLEN online c.o.d," McCaffery said. Buy no prescription LEVLEN online, "No effort from him tonight. Disappointing."
Basabe was on the bench in the closing minutes as the Hawkeyes couldn't rally.
If Basabe wants to get significant playing time, LEVLEN price, McCaffery said, LEVLEN long term, it will be determined by how he plays.
"He's got to figure it out," McCaffery said, BUY LEVLEN OVER THE COUNTER. "We have done everything that we can do in terms of breaking it down on film, having discussions with him, rx free LEVLEN, working with him extra. LEVLEN street price, He's got to decide where this is going. I can't make it any simpler than that. I told him the same thing, buy LEVLEN without a prescription. BUY LEVLEN OVER THE COUNTER, He's got to decide, does he want to rebound, does he want to run, does he want to block shots, does he want to attack the rim?"
McCaffery said Basabe's effort in practice is a positive sign.
"So I think that's probably step one, LEVLEN natural, for him," McCaffery said. "Because he's clearly struggling in the games but he's not struggling in practice, LEVLEN images. That's why he's still in the starting lineup. Is LEVLEN addictive, So I do think it will happen for him, but tonight, he didn't bring it and that's unfortunate."

What does Gemütlichkeit literally translate as?What does literally translate as?
The adjective"gemütlich" means 'cosy/comfortable', and by adding "keit" onto the end it becomes a noun meaning "the feeling of comfort/cosiness". Interestingly, the noun Gemüt in gemütlich is also quite difficult to accurately translate: broadly speaking, it refers to mood and feeling.
How can you use it in a sentence?
Using the adjective, you can say "So gemütlich wie Zuhause wird es nie hier", meaning something like "It will never be as cosy/comfortable here as it is at home".
What is the nearest English equivalent?
It translates to "cosiness" or "comfort", but those words aren't adequate because they are too simple for the concept of Gemütlichkeit .

Years ago I learned a German nursery rhyme called "Hänchen klein" and there was a part that said "Stock und Hut steht ihn gut / ist gar wohl gemüt." I never understood what gemüt meant, and my German teacher did a poor job explain it. I've been hung up on it for years but this finally explains it; it makes so much sense now! Thank you!

sclerotic dentin, dentin, dental caries, histopathology, diagnosis, stereomicroscopy, microradiography
Dentin reactions to caries are crucial for the pathogenesis and severity determination of caries lesions. Since caries is mainly a demineralization process, the high ratio of X-ray absorbance between calcium and the chemical elements of the organic content, and the fact that the density of the mineral content is higher (more than 2 times) than that of the organic content, radiography with microscopic resolution (microradiography, MR) is considered as a highly reliable gold standard for detecting variations in dentin mineral content. Also widely accepted as gold standards for dentin reactions are stereomicroscopy (SM; commonly referred as histology) and (to a lesser extent) polarized light microscopy with quinoline as the immersion medium (PLMQ). The acceptance of SW, the currently most used "gold standard", is based on studies reporting opaque and translucent dentin under SM related to radiolucent and radiopaque dentin, respectively. It is lacking, however, accuracy in numbers. To our knowledge, data regarding the accuracy of SM are available from only one study that included unerupted teeth and no data on translucent/sclerotic dentin. In addition, early studies with MR reported cases classified as translucent dentin by transmitted light microscopy (where the interaction of light with dentin is similar to that under SM) that were then classified as demineralized dentin by the use of MR.
Currently the only evidence for the detection of dentin reactions by PLMQ is only qualitative. Thus, research into the accuracy of SM and PLMQ is needed. Regarding the use of MR as a gold standard, it must be considered that images of microradiographic plates taken using transmitted light microscopy are commonly biased by the effect of heterogeneous illumination, which is inversely proportional to the objective magnification. Heterogeneous illumination is expected to influence judgment of brightness (a procedure required for diagnosis from MR images), possibly including bias when other techniques are validated using MR.
The aim of this study was three fold: to test the accuracy of both SM and PLMQ in detecting dentin reactions to natural caries; to test the hypothesis that elements of accuracy are influenced by the quality of the microradiographic image contrast; and to test the hypothesis that SM, PLMQ and MR (regardless of image contrast quality) detect dentin reactions equally.
Forty three erupted third molars with various stages of natural occlusal caries were collected from volunteers who signed consent terms (as approved by the Ethical Committee of the Federal University of Paraiba; certificate of ethical appreciation number 4125.0.000.126-10). All teeth were gently cleaned with 1% hypochlorite solution (Vetec, Brazil), mounted in a wax base and surrounded by a rubber dam isolator prior to analysis of their occlusal surfaces using the ICDAS II scoring system. Before obtaining final ICDAS scores for analysis, examiners were calibrated using a sub-set of the whole sample. Thirty occlusal sites were scored by two calibrated examiners (Kappa's intra-examiner's scores of 0.9 and 0.89, and 0.85 for inter-examiner agreement), with a one week interval, in order to test intra- and inter-examiner reproducibilities. Final scores were those obtained by a consensus between examiners. In nine teeth, two sites on the occlusal surface were selected, yielding a total of 52 occlusal caries lesions.
All teeth were cut longitudinally to their crowns (through their occlusal surfaces) using a diamond disc mounted (Kavo Sorensen, Brazil) in a low-speed handpiece under water irrigation, so that a section of the selected site with a given IDCAS score was obtained. All cuts were then ground using a customized metallic (brass) lapping jip and silicon carbide paper (granulations of 240–1200) under water irrigation to achieve a final thickness of ~100 ± 20 μm. Prepared ground sections (n = 52) were kept in a 0.02% sodium azide aqueous solution until examination.
At each ground section, histological sites (area of ~150 μm × 150 μm) presenting suggestive signs of normal, carious, or sclerotic dentin were selected. All examinations of ground sections (SM of wet and dry samples, three types of MR images, and PLMQ) were performed by the same two examiners, whose intra and inter-examiner reproducibilities were determined (using Kappa's statistics) from their scores of all histological sites (of all samples) from each technique obtained with a one week interval. Examiners agreed on the final scores by consulting with each other.
Histological sites were selected from the outer half of the dentin layer, including the area adjacent to the deepest enamel lesion; at least one dentin reaction type per sample was included where possible. Cases were included in the sample when two sites had the same type of dentin reaction detected by SM, while showing different types of dentin reactions when detected using MR. Thus, up to 6 histological sites were selected per sample, yielding a total sample size of 168 sites.
SM (10× magnification) with reflected light was used to analyze ground sections under two conditions: wet (SW) and dried (SD; after exposure to 25ºC and 50% relative humidity for 2 hours). Temperature and relative humidity were measured just adjacent to the samples. Digital photomicrographs (digital camera Nikon D80) of wet and dried samples were obtained. Dentin reactions were scored as normal, carious discolored (white/yellow/brown), and translucent ("sclerotic").
All samples were mounted in a microradiographic plate (resolution of 2000 lines/mm; AGHD plates, Microchrome Technology, San Jose, USA) and exposed to X-rays in a PCBA Inspector (tungsten anode filtered with a 0.25 mm-thick beryllium window, GE, Germany) for 25 minutes using 40 keV and 0.25 mA. Digital photomicrographs of the microradiographic plate were obtained in a transmitted light microscope (2× objective) under different conditions:
Condition 1: using the condenser aligned according to the principles of Kohler illumination for low magnification objectives;
Condition 2: no condenser and using a light shaping filter (Luminit, USA) above the field diaphragm.
The possible scores for dentin reactions using MR were: normal dentin, demineralized (radiolucent) dentin, and hypermineralized (highly radiopaque; sclerotic) dentin. Digital images were analysed (using the freeware program ImageJ, NIH, USA) with the following contrast conditions:
Image obtained with aligned condenser, without any adjustment of brightness and contrast from ImageJ, and no light shaping filter (NFNBC image);
Image obtained with aligned condenser, no light shaping filter, but with adjustment of brightness and contrast from ImageJ (NFBC image);
Image obtained without a condenser, with both a light shaping filter and adjustment of brightness and contrast from ImageJ (FBC image).
Such conditions created an ordinary scale of heterogeneous illumination of the field of view. Images without light shaping filter (NF) and FBC images presented a Gaussian normalized light intensity (R = 0.87 for both) across the field of view with heights of 0.13 and 0.05 (lower heterogeneity), respectively. Brightness and contrast adjustment (according to a consensus from both examiners) allowed this difference to be easily detected by the naked eye.
Ground sections were dried at room temperature for 24 hours, immersed in quinoline (Vetec, Brazil) for 24 hours, and then were positioned with the dentin tubules at – 45º on the stage of a polarizing microscope (Axioskop, Carl Zeiss, Germany) equipped with a Red I filter, 2× objective, and digital camera (Nikon D80, Japan). Dentin reactions were scored as either negatively (carious) or positively birefringent (normal). Since the technique of PLMQ is not intended to diagnosis dentin sclerosis, no diagnosis of sclerotic dentin was attempted. Color digital images were split into color channels using ImageJ, resulting in a sharp demarcation of negatively and positively birefringent areas.
We tested the accuracies of the SW, SD, and PLMQ techniques for detecting dentin reactions using the FBC MR image as the gold standard in all cases. Total positive (TP), total negative (TN), false positive (FP), and false negative values (FN) were obtained and used to calculate accuracy (AC) from:
Shear stress upregulates regeneration -related immediate early genes in liver progenitors in 3D ECM-like microenvironments.
Nishii, Kenichiro; Brodin, Erik; Renshaw, Taylor; Weesner, Rachael; Moran, Emma; Soker, Shay; Sparks, Jessica L
The role of fluid stresses in activating the hepatic stem/progenitor cell regenerative response is not well understood. This study hypothesized that immediate early genes (IEGs) with known links to liver regeneration will be upregulated in liver progenitor cells (LPCs) exposed to in vitro shear stresses on the order of those produced from elevated interstitial flow after partial hepatectomy. The objectives were: (1) to develop a shear flow chamber for application of fluid stress to LPCs in 3D culture; and (2) to determine the effects of fluid stress on IEG expression in LPCs. Two hours of shear stress exposure at ∼4 dyn/cm 2 was applied to LPCs embedded individually or as 3D spheroids within a hyaluronic acid/collagen I hydrogel. Results were compared against static controls. Quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction was used to evaluate the effect of experimental treatments on gene expression. Twenty-nine genes were analyzed, including IEGs and other genes linked to liver regeneration . Four IEGs (CFOS, IP10, MKP1, ALB) and three other regeneration -related genes (WNT, VEGF, EpCAM) were significantly upregulated in LPCs in response to fluid mechanical stress. LPCs maintained an early to intermediate stage of differentiation in spheroid culture in the absence of the hydrogel, and addition of the gel initiated cholangiocyte differentiation programs which were abrogated by the onset of flow. Collectively the flow-upregulated genes fit the pattern of an LPC-mediated proliferative/regenerative response. These results suggest that fluid stresses are potentially important regulators of the LPC-mediated regeneration response in liver . © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Effect of Resorbable Collagen Plug on Bone Regeneration in Rat Critical-Size Defect Model.
Liu, Weiqing; Kang, Ning; Dong, Yuliang; Guo, Yuchen; Zhao, Dan; Zhang, Shiwen; Zhou, Liyan; Seriwatanachai, Dutmanee; Liang, Xing; Yuan, Quan
The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effect of resorbable collagen plug (RCP) on bone regeneration in rat calvarial critical-size defects. About 5-mm-diameter calvarial defects were created in forty 12-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats and implanted with or without RCP. Animals were killed at 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks postoperatively. After being killed, specimens were collected and subjected to micro-computed tomography (μCT) and histological analysis. The μCT showed a significant increase of newly formed bone volume/tissue volume in RCP-implanted defect compared with controls at all designated time points. After 8 weeks, the defects implanted with RCP displayed almost complete closure. Hematoxylin and eosin staining of the decalcified sections confirmed these observations and evidenced active bone regeneration in the RCP group. In addition, Masson's trichrome staining demonstrated that RCP implantation accelerated the process of collagen maturation. The RCP enhances bone regeneration in rat critical-size cranial defects, which suggest it might be a desired material for bone defect repair.

Premier League: QPR's Julio Cesar has no plans to leave Loftus Road
Julio Cesar has no regrets about joining QPR and has no plans to leave despite the threat of Premier League relegation.
By Simone Bargellini
Last Updated: 22/02/13 8:15pm
The Brazilian goalkeeper only moved to Loftus Road from Inter Milan at the beginning of the season but he was in January linked with a quick exit.
With QPR marooned at the bottom of the table ahead of Saturday's tough visit of league leaders Manchester United, speculation continues to surround Cesar.
However, he told tuttomercatoweb.com: "We are not going very well as a team but I am happy to be at QPR.
"It's a new experience, I'm living it up and slowly we are trying to move up the ranks.
"The whole team believe in salvation. We have strong players and we will do everything."
Asked about potentially leaving QPR in the summer, he said: "Absolutely not. I am very well at QPR.
"I have another four years of my contract so I don't see why I should leave. My future is here."

What is Cervical Cyst Removal?
Cervical cyst removal is the procedure by which a mucus-filled cervical cyst is removed from the surface of the cervix.
How is a Cervical Cyst Removed?
A cervical cyst may be removed using a colposcopy procedure. This is a procedure similar to the Pap smear procedure that is used to remove cervical polyps. In a colposcopy to remove a cervical cyst, magnifying equipment is used to maximize the view. The patient needs to lie down in the dorsal lithotomy position.

Apple ending rebates on MobileMe and iWork, updates to follow?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Rumors, Software,
Apple has inexplicably ended two long-offered rebates for MobileMe and iWorks, fueling speculation that it will launch revamped versions of both software suites any day now.
"The 'Buy a Mac and Save $30 on iWork' and 'Buy a Mac or iPad and Save $30 on MobileMe' promotions will both end on April 18, 2011. Resellers must remove any reference to these promotions by close of business on that date," Apple wrote in an alleged letter to resellers obtained by 9to5Mac.
You can still download a free 60-day trial of MobileMe or pay $99 for the annual subscription; iWork is free for 30 days and $79 to purchase thereafter.
Apple MobileMe remotely stores your files and photos, and pushes email and calendar updates to your iOS device or Mac desktop. It launched in 2000 and was last updated in 2008 during Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), held every June.
In December 2010, an Apple fan emailed Steve Jobs to complain about MobileMe, and Jobs reportedly replied, "Yes, it will get a lot better in 2011."

Not a lot of Android smartphones come with an IR blaster these days. For those that do come with it, these are the five best TV remote apps for Android. While technically you can use any smartphone to control another smart TV if they are connected to the same wireless network, but not a lot of people own a smart TV yet. So, for those of us who have the standard high definition TV in their den, these apps can prove invaluable when you simply cannot find the remote and the game is on.
A lot of modern flagships have dropped the infrared blaster and it's a shame. Opting for a closed waterproof design, they simply don't see the point including an IR blaster on their flagships. I've only seen midrange smartphones come with it and frankly speaking, I would rather have all the options in the flagship rather than a midrange device. Huawei Honor 8 is one of the few amazing looking midrange smartphones that come with an IR blaster. So, if your smartphone doesn't have an IR component, most of the apps on the list won't work well with your phone.
Note: The 5 Best TV Remote Apps for Android were tested on a Huawei Honor 8 smartphone. I borrowed the smartphone because my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge doesn't come with an IR blaster. The apps worked perfectly fine and there were no problems faced during the testing. The apps aren't in any particular order simply because they cater to different audiences or a particular company.
Easy Universal TV Remote
Easy Universal TV Remote is one of the oldest TV remote apps out there. However, it is a bit hard to set up, that I personally think is the reason behind its low rating. I tested the remote with a Samsung TV and it worked fine.
A point to be noted here is that my TV is not a smart one, so that might be the reason of the smooth operation. I have heard from friends that this app works perfectly on their TVs as well. The interface is fine, once you calibrate your particular device to work with the remote.
However changing rooms is a bit different. This is perhaps the only app that supports thousands of different TVs in one package, so it is one of the best ones to try out first.https://joyofandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/options-Easy-Universal-TV-Remote.pnghttps://joyofandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/start-up-Easy-Universal-TV-Remote.png
Peel Smart Remote
This is one of the best and well-designed TV remote apps for Android. It aims to be the only TV remote as well as a guide that you will ever need. To be honest, the app does come close in unifying TV guides and remotes into a well-packed app.
You'll be able to reliably control not only your TV but also all the devices attached to it. For example, if you are using a DVD or Blu-ray player, this app will work with it as well.
Switching between devices is also streamlined so that you don't have to worry about constant changes. The app is also very simple to use and works with whatever TV you have. The only downside of this app is that it is not available in all the regions. However, USA, Canada and most of Europe is supported, though.Show Downloads
SURE Universal TV Remote
This is the new kid on the block and it comes with a lot of features that are not available on any other remote control app. For me, this is the best app on the best TV remote apps for Android list; simply because of its simplistic interface as well as great functionality.
It has won a lot of different awards and there is a good reason behind it, it is a very reliable remote app that simply works with a lot of different appliances. Sure, TVs are supported well on this app but, if you need something more, this is the app you should get. The only reason why I'm listing it on third-place is because it is not a dedicated TV remote control app.Show Downloads
AnyMote Universal Remote +WiFi
If you're in the market for a very customizable TV remote app for your Android, this is the app you should get. With more than 900,000 supported devices AnyMote aims to please a lot of people and it does succeed in that mission. I haven't had a single problem while using this great app over the course of almost 2 years.
The highly customizable interface combined with a great widget allows the app to do almost anything you need. That's not all though, you will also able to combine different remotes on one screen so, you don't have to switch between multiple devices on the go. Want to control your TV and the Blu-ray player from one remote? You can do this with this great app.
LG TV Remote
As the name suggests, LG TV remote is solely for televisions made by LG. While they are not as popular as Samsung or Sony, LG TVs are actually quite great. So, if you happen to own LG TV and want to control it with an Android device, this is the app you should get.
The biggest selling point of this app is that it's made by LG and does not contain any kind of ads. It also doubles as a touchpad to control the pointer on the TV screen; that is if you have a smart TV. Making your smartphone touchscreen and a trackpad is a great idea for ease of use. This app is last because it is only for LG TVs.
These were some of the best TV remote apps for Android. It is highly rewarding to see how much apps have improved over the years. Back in 2012, when I first tested these apps they were not as fleshed out as they are today, especially AnyMote was a big surprise to me. I actually went back and checked my original analysis of the app and compared the screenshots, while the interface has the same color, the app has improved on numerous fronts.
So did any of these apps worked for you? If they did, talk to us about your experience and if they didn't tell us what was the problem. I would love to hear feedback from you guys.

Deb finally agreed to make an honest man of me and we tied the knot last month.
This happy event coincided with the Olympics, during which I noticed my new bride taking an unusual interest in various events…or possibly the competitors.
When she did remark on the six-pack of one particularly fine specimen of male athleticism, combined with a meaningful look, I felt compelled to expound
my theory of male fitness, which can be summarised thus :
I regard my body in the same way that I regard beer – why have a six-pack when you can have a keg ?
Yes, in terms of body-shape, I must admit that mine does not so much resemble the genius of a work by Michelangelo as it does the work of a cooper last thing on a Friday before heading off to the pub. However, there is a more pressing problem occupying my mind at the moment, namely, how best to rollback a release of code to an Oracle database.
Of course, there are a number of solutions to this particular problem. If your system needs to remain available during the release, Edition based re-definition is certainly worth a look. If you have the luxury of down-time whilst doing the release, then you have the option of a Point-in-time recovery should things not quite go according to plan. For a smallish release however, that does seem a bit like overkill.
Alternatively, if you're on Enterprise Edition ( and once again, assuming you have the database to yourself), you might even consider Flashback.
The thing about stored program units is that, unlike other code, you don't have a source file.
CREATE OR REPLACE overwrites the code you are changing so you need to make a conscious effort to back up what you're changing if you might need to put it back.
What I'm going to cover here is
- How to deal with Murphy's Second Law
- Using PL/SQL to backup specific stored program units prior to a release
- Storing old versions in the database as CLOBs
But first, we need an appropriate example…. Continue reading

Journey Guitarist Neal Schon Hopes for 'Friendly' Communication with Steve Perry
Nearly 15 years after Journey made 'Trial By Fire,' the 1996 studio album which came as a result of a short-lived reunion with original lead singer Steve Perry, it's still a frequent question - will Perry ever come back?
Guitarist Neal Schon tells Ultimate Classic Rock that when he gets that question, "I always answer it the same way and then everybody writes it like it's the first time I ever said it." Schon explains, "you know, it's like, I've been saying it forever that we've always left the door open, you know? We didn't kick Steve out -- he walked."
The touring that Perry did as a solo artist in the '90s would later lend important influence towards Journey's decision to continue with a new lead vocalist at the helm. "He went on to pursue his solo stuff and went out there playing our material before we did. He was out doing a solo tour and he was playing Journey songs and so at that point, I went 'there's no harm in Jon [Jonathan Cain] and I trying to reform this band,' because we [were very involved too]."
Schon does wish that he could have open communication with his former band mate. "I hope that someday, that we can get to the point to where I can pick up the telephone and I can talk to him without talking through management and attorneys. I still don't quite realize why we can't just talk one on one, for whatever reason, just to say hello -- not to pressure anybody to do anything or anything like that -- it wouldn't be like that, just in a friendly manner."
Checking in from the road, where Journey is once again in the midst of a lengthy summer tour, this time with Pat Benatar and Loverboy, Schon says "I don't see that there's any end to this band right now, we're so strong. Everybody's getting older, but we still have so much energy and we're doing great out here."
The veteran guitarist will release 'The Calling' on October 23, a brand new solo album which finds Schon reuniting with former Journey drummer Steve Smith, who plays on the bulk of the album.
Stay tuned for more of our conversation with Neal about that album and other subjects, very soon!

Thank you dear readers for participating in the Masala Dabba giveaway. Based on the response it appears that many people are impressed with the ying yang version of the Masala Dabba designed and created by GitaDini.?
As promised I did a lucky draw with help from random.org and my 7 year old. Without much ado the lucky winner is "Triveni Limye". I have sent her an email and she has gladly responded back. Congratulations Triveni, hope you enjoy the sleek masala box which you will receive shortly.
And now off to today's recipe of making Idli using Kulith/ Horse gram. Traditional Idli is quite common in our house. But then I love making tweaks and adding other nutritious lentils, beans and making it much more nutritious. So I tried making Idli by using Horse gram along with the usual Urad daal.?
There is no much difference in taste with the addition of Horse Gram in this batter as compared to the usual idli (provided correct fermentation is done). ?However if you are not used to eating brown idli or having for the first time, then you may feel a slight after taste than that of regular old idli. But this can be overcome by serving this along with good chutney or a side dish.?
- ? cup horsegram/kulith
- 1/2 cup urad daal (split and de-husked)
- 1 ? cup idli rava
- Tablespoon?of cooked rice/ poha (beaten rice) [soaked]
- 1 tsp methi?
- In several changes of changes clean the urad daal, horse gram and methi seeds.
- Soak the horsegram. urad daal along with methi overnight (6-8 hours) in enough water.?
- The next morning or after 8 hours soak the idli rava in water for 1-2 hours.
- Grind the urad daal, methi with cooked rice/poha and required amount of water to make a paste.?
- Do not add too much water; the water should be sufficient just so that the mixer/grinder motor runs smoothly.
- When I notice some small fine bubbles (maybe about 4-5 of them) on the top I stop the grinding. (This is optional and may not be the case all the time).
- Drain the water completely from the soaked rava and add this urad daal paste thoroughly with washed idli rava. This should be as thick as possible.
- Keep it aside to ferment for at least 8 hours (14 hours in winter atleast).
- After the batter is fermented, add salt and water and mix the idli batter well. The batter should not be very thick. (it needs to be of pouring consistency)
- ?Grease the idli stand and pour batter in each of the container in the idli stand.
- Steam this in a pressure cooker without whistle/weight for 15 minutes.
- Take the idlis out and serve along with chutney. Serve hot.

First Mennonite Church (Ransom, Kansas, USA)
Ransom First Mennonite Church (General Conference Mennonite), located in the small town of Ransom, Ness County, Kansas, a member of the Western District Conference was organized in 1886 by the Abraham Ummel, Julius Jaehde, and Jacob Aeby families. They held their regular meetings in a small sod school located ¾ mile east of Ransom until 1900, when the church was built in Ransom, replaced in 1956 by a brick church. When Jacob Aeby returned to Missouri, Abraham Ummel (d. 1921) became the elder. Not only Mennonites, but also Lutherans joined the church. The congregation had 115 members in 1957; the pastor was R. L. Siemens.

Another Legislator Hops On Board The 'Violent Video Game' Bandwagon; Introduces Redundant Labeling Bill
from the Rated-M-for-'Moronic' deptRecent events have returned video games (especially "violent" ones) back to their normal position as convenient grandstand/whipping boy (or girl, you sexist)/political football. Vice President Joe Biden recently met with representatives of the video game industry to inform them that they were just as responsible as the NRA for recent tragic events, and even if not, they'd be mentioned frequently in the same headlines. (The NRA also placed the blame on video games -- quite possibly the only issue on which it saw eye-to-eye with Biden.) New Jersey governor Chris Christie recently declared the M-rated "Call of Duty" games were not welcome in his home, quite possibly because he has four children and it's an M-rated game. And President Obama has called for a thorough study of any possible connection between gun violence and video games to be performed by the CDC.
So, it is with feigned shock that I pass on the news that a politician has introduced a bill aimed at violent video games -- one that looks to "implement" stuff we already have, only with Uncle Sam in charge.
In the wake of President Barack Obama's announcement that the CDC would study the effects of violent video games and other media, Rep. Jim Matheson (D-Utah) has introduced bill H.R. 287, which would "require ratings label on video games" and "prohibit the sales and rentals of adult-rated video games to minors."Ratings labels, eh? You mean like these handy things that have been slapped all over video games for the past 19 years?
Oh, and "prohibit the sales and rentals of adult-rated [?] video games to minors?" You mean the sort of thing that nearly every respectable retailer has been voluntarily doing for nearly as long?
I understand that politicians are generally allergic to terms like "voluntary" and "self-regulating" and are more partial to terms like "government oversight" and "mandatory" and "nanny state," especially when the prevailing winds favor doing a bit of "something" in response to tragedy. But to force a redundant system into use in order to enforce a standards system that has worked well for years is not only a self-serving, needless expansion of government power, it's just plain stupid.
Matheson's bill would make it mandatory for all games available for sale or rent to sport a rating label, something that nearly every commercially distributed game already features. (Many indie games distributed exclusively via download do not carry these labels, as they are rarely submitted to the ESRB.) Strangely, Matheson's bill relies on the ESRB to provide the rating, rather than turn it over to another agency.
(a) Conduct Prohibited- It shall be unlawful for any person to ship or otherwise distribute in interstate commerce, or to sell or rent, a video game that does not contain a rating label, in a clear and conspicuous location on the outside packaging of the video game, containing an age-based content rating determined by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board.It also requires retailers to post rating information, as supplied by the ESRB. Again, most retailers already do this voluntarily. This goes beyond redundant and into some bizarre coattail-riding territory in which the government piggybacks its agenda onto an existing system and, presumably, rewards itself with raises and high-fives shortly thereafter.
The only difference between what exists now and Matheson's "bold" "vision" for the future is the weight of government enforcement.
It shall be unlawful for any person to sell or rent, or attempt to sell or rent--Matheson turns this enforcement over to the Federal Trade Commission, adding an "up to $5,000" fine to any violations. Once again, the question is why? All this does is add a layer of unneeded regulation and fines to a system that a majority of game buyers and sellers feel is working just fine. This is just Matheson turning a system from voluntary to mandatory just so he can appear "tough on video games," which is a terrible plank for any platform.
(1) any video game containing a content rating of 'Adults Only' (as determined by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board) to any person under the age of 18; or
(2) any video game containing a content rating of 'Mature' (as determined by such Board) to any person under the age of 17.
On the upside (for us -- not so much for Rep. Jim Matheson), legislation tracking site, govtrack.us, currently gives the bill (as it stands) a 3% chance of getting past committee and only a 1% chance of being enacted. Part of this is due to the fact that many other states have tried (and failed) to enact government regulation of video games, something the Supreme Court declared violated the First Amendment. Another factor is the general inactivity level of our representatives (often considered "ideal" by small government types) which has resulted in only 11% of bills making it past committee and only 2% into actual law.
For now, it's more of the same old video game scapegoating, with this effort being surprisingly lazy in its approach. It's cyclical and repetitive, like EA's release schedule -- comforting in its familiarity and unsurprising in its lack of imagination.

He designed a 911 version from memory.For the first couple of years the only covers they made were for Porsche vehicles. As orders gradually increased they decided to go into other makes.
The Colgan Custom car cover is still the standard used for reference by all of those who have entered the business in the last few years.

Perry Hood, the retired Lewes, Delaware Socialist, has repeatedly threatened another's livelihood because Perry Hood does not like what that other person says online. He has accused another of Federal Income Tax Evasion, a felony. He goes out of his way to try to bully and intimidate his enemies, Conservatives, into silence. And he doesn't care what rules are in place to prevent his thuggish actions.
Ropelight now takes his turn:
Koolo, if Preey is taking lessons from Brett Kimberlin, The Speedway Bomber and Democrat activist, resident in the neighboring state of Maryland at last notice, you might consider notifying your local police department that SWATting could be a possibility.
It's a good idea to be on-record if something truly dangerous might be in the offing. It's happened to too many bloggers too many times before to ignore the possibility. No one knows the extent of the evil that lurks in the hearts of these belly crawlin' leftist bastards.
This is typical of the venom that emanates from your blog, Mr Editor. It reflects on them, and on your blog, all because of ideological differences.
Maybe not.
I stand up for the well being of our students.
koolo's behavior on here, if repeated in the class room, which it probably is, would constitute predatory behavior by a bully against children. Hube is in exactly the same category. As a matter of fact, Mr Editor, you yourself, by your Comment and Content Policy, have in the past exercised your prerogative to limit what you call "liberty". So playing that card this time on me is not impressive, with all the other crap going on here on a daily basis.
Face it, the amount of abuse given me on here by these extremist ideologues, koolo, ropelight, Eric, and Hitchcock being the worst offenders (Who's left?), is reprehensible, but is part of the rhetoric we see repeated time and again by these people, and you do nothing about it. Your own modeling of civility has been of no good influence on these people.
If I knew koolo's identity, I would turn him in in a New York minute. Unfortunately, I don't, so there is no threat which can be carried out. However, he considers it a threat, because he knows his behavior here would trigger an investigation, if known. We must not have a person with his obvious character deficiencies in our classrooms teaching our children, period. If he is worried about his livelihood, then he needs to demonstrate that he has gotten control of himself.
Note that even when you asked for civility on your Friday thread, koolo was unable to stifle himself, totally ignoring your request. Same with Hitchcock. Some respect they showed to you!
Koolo surely said that he would apologize, which he did not do in a timely fashion. What kind of an adult person would push the limit until caught, then apologize? This is what bullies do until they see they have caused harm, which in some cases could be serious harm, as we've seen reported in the news in recent years. Then they apologize, when often it is too late, the harm already done. Does koolo do this bullying in his classroom, push it to the limit, then apologize? If so, what kind of damage has he done to our children?
If this means that I am to be banned from your blog, so be it. Then your cowardly right wing friends will be most pleased, as they have been lobbying for this for many months. They can give out the heat, but they can't stand it themselves, like crybabies. How childish and immature is that?
Does that tell you enough about Perry Hood? How about this?
In case you can't figure it out, you aren't even in the ballpark about my professional behavior.
I'll believe that when I see some professional behavior on here from you!
I'll apologize to the Editor in this thread now … for hijacking the thread. But I hope he understands b/c Perry has made yet another threat to a commenter b/c he can't stand it when his own tactics are turned against him.
Absolutely I have said that I would turn you in, based on your behavior on here vis a vis a classroom. If you have nothing to fear, then you would not be pushing back on this issue, to the extent that you would even refer to it as a "threat". You know full well, or should know, that your behavior on here would raise questions by administrators and board members, the same questions I am raising. So clean up your act, koolo, as a demonstration of your "professional" persona!
[Comment left intact; in this, Wagonwheel has admitted that he has threatened koolo's livelihood.
It should be obvious that, if koolo is a teacher, simply a complaint made of this nature would cause serious repercussions, whether the complaint was dismissed or not. Because Wagonwheel is, himself, retired, he is immune to such threats.
We have endured many, many personal insults on this site, but only one commenter here has threatened someone else's liberty or livelihood, and that commenter, himself, has made complaints when others have published his real name, even though that commenter has no job to lose. His request for personal anonymity has been honored on this site, simply because he has requested such.
I fully recognize that there are some significant personal animosities here, and that as discussion gets more strident, those animosities accelerate. However, threatening someone's livelihood or liberty crosses the line, very blatantly. — Editor]
That should be enough to tell you everything you need to know about the evil, hate-filled tyrant Perry Hood of Lewes, Delaware.
