Sukiyaki is a popular Japanese one-pot meal which is usually cooked at the table as you eat. The word "yaki" means "sautee" or "grill" in Japanese. The word is used because meat is sautéed in a hot skillet….typically done right at your own table! Meat slices and ingredients are simmered in soy-sauce based soup. In different regions of Japan, sukiyaki is cooked differently. Join Bryan Suntrup, manager of Bistro Saffron, for an exploration of this savory and social meal and the traditions and recipes associated with it. Experience the taste and culture of Japan during this fun evening workshop.

LSUS Communications Dept. Presents Black Box Workshop Productions
A new theatre series sponsored by the LSUS Department of Communications is set for initial production on February 21-24. Black Box Workshop Productions will present two one-act plays in a setting that will allow for experimental staging as well as the presentation of shows seldom available to the public. The performance will take place at the Black Box in Bronson Hall, with curtain times at 7:30p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and a 2:00 p.m. show on Sunday.
Directed by LSUS alumnus Don McCoy, the February productions will feature William Inge's People in the Wind and a seldom-performed Tennessee Williams play, Adam and Eve on a Ferry.
The Inge production, featuring eight actors in a mid-twentieth century bus station, is one of the inspirations behind the longer production, Bus Stop. Trapped by a snowstorm west of Kansas City, five passengers interact with three local residents when they pull into a diner to wait out the storm.
The cast includes Cara Derrick as Grace and Delia Caldwell as Elma, waitresses working a lonely midnight shift. A young girl, played by Brittany Matthews, upset by advances made by a male passenger Bo (Nick Sewell) rushes into the diner followed by Cory Olson in the role of the "drunk." Rounding out the cast are Kimi McVay as Clara, and Sandy McCoy Gaudin making her stage debut as Myrtle, and Nash Crow as the bus driver, Bud.
The second play, Adam and Eve on a Ferry, written by Tennessee Williams in 1929, was not performed until 2004. The play has just three characters: novelist D.H. Lawrence, his wife Frieda, and Ariadne Peabody, a visitor to the Lawrence home in need of unusual advice. Ariadne, played by veteran local actor Audra Caitlyn Moss, is a retiring, spinsterish woman who cannot remember the name of a man who may have propositioned her aboard a ferry; a man she agreed to meet. Nor can she remember where they are to meet. D. H. Lawrence is played by Joshua Porter and his wife, Freida, by Kimi McVay.
Like most Tennessee Williams works, Adam and Eve on a Ferry deals with issues of sexual tension. Thus the juxtaposition of a repressed woman seeking help from a novelist vilified during his lifetime for his focus on sexual themes is both tribute and farce.
After the Sunday after performance, anyone interested in any aspect of theatre, from acting to directing to technical support, is welcome to stay for a "Q&A Workshop" with everyone involved in the production. There is no additional charge. Anyone is welcome whether they were able to attend the show.
Seating is limited and reservations are encouraged. General box office is $10 per ticket; LSUS students are admitted free with valid ID ten minutes before curtain as seats are available.
For information ticket and reservation information, contact Dr. Linda Webster in the LSUS Department of Communications at email@example.com. Or 318-797-5376.

Evian (France) (AFP) Germany face hosts France in the Euro 2016 semi-finals on Thursday in the midst of an injury crisis, but buoyed by memories of their flooring of Brazil at the same stage of the 2014 World Cup.
The Marseille clash will be another test of Germany's mettle after their historic quarter-final defeat of Italy.
World Cup 2014 winners Germany are one of the favourites to win Euro 2016, to be held in France. They are outright favourites to top Group C that also include Poland, Northern Ireland and Ukraine.

Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil believes that he has always been an easy target for criticism, since his early days in Germany.
Speaking tothe German news agencyDPA,the World Cup winner stated that he has 'nothing to prove' in regards to his critics.
Ozil faced some questions during his first season with Arsenal and has recently been the focus of heavy criticism from football pundits following lackluster performances at the beginning of the Gunners' 2014-15 Premier League campaign.
Since it appears that we are going to be stuck with Jurgen Klinsmann as the US Men's National Team manager for the foreseeable future, it seems prudent to get to the bottom of what the boss really means when he unleashes his well-worn contradictions.
If you've followed the USMNT since Klinsmann got the job in 2011, you know that very little of what the manager says can be taken at face value.
The year 2014 included many major soccer stories, talking points and controversies. Here's a list of 10 of the biggest stories to come out of the beautiful game during the past 12 months.
1. Germany Wins Fourth World Cup
The Germans triumph during this summer's World Cup came down to defense.
Ronaldo, the World Cup, Hamilton Academical, Harry Kane it's Just Football's end of year review 2014 is a post from: Just Football
Just Football takes you through the thrills and spills of the 365 days just past with our end of year review 2014. Jonathan Fadugba,Andrew Schofield, Sarah McLean, Nick HarrisandJake Meadorpick out their outstanding players, teams and moments of the year gone by.
You're your country's number one goalkeeper and it's the 121stminute of a World Cup quarter-final. The match is scoreless and the prospect of a penalty shoot-out seems inevitable.
You're mentally preparing for what's about to happen next when you glance at the fourth official on the sideline and see your number being held up.
FIFA was back in the news this week, which almost always means a good hearty laugh followed by a sustained period of crying.
This week, we found out that the report conducted by American investigator Michael Garcia into the awarding of the 2018 World Cup to Russia and the 2022 World Cup to Qatar was, in fact, a practical joke.
Current FIFA President, Sepp Blatter has announced his bid for re-election, after first being elected as president of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association in 1998 Blatter has served four consecutive terms for the past 18 years. Although Blatter hinted that the 2014 World Cup in Brazil would be his last, he recently announced his return to the FIFA presidential candidacy Monday in a pre-recorded interview shown at the SoccerEx conference.
Premier League 2014/15: Four ways the World Cup will change the league completely is a post from: Just Football
In 2010, Spain passed their way to a World Cup victory – defeating the Netherlands 1-0 after extra time. For many in the footballing community, the result signalled the birth of a new tactical era, establishing possession as the primary currency of the sport.
In April, World Soccer Talk interviewed U.S. Soccer Hall of Famer Tony Meola about his career and some of his thoughts on the U.S. Men's National Team's chances heading into the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
This week we spoke with Tony again, and he reflected on the USMNT's performances, as well as what it means for MLS and the MLS All-Star Game.

Champions of Europe Real Madrid became champions of the world on Saturday night after the Spanish giants defeatedArgentina's South American champions San Lorenzo courtesy of a 2-0 scoreline in the Club World Cup final in Morocco.
The goals came from Sergio Ramos and Gareth Bale as Madrid bagged their fourth trophy of 2014, coming after the La Liga title, the Copa Del Rey and the European Super Cup.
Photos of Mexico's away shirt for 2015 have been leaked on the Internet.
After Mexico wore its well-designed red away shirt during World Cup 2014, El Tri have returned with an equally impressive shirt for 2015 and the Copa America with a white shirt and fluorescent green trim.
At first glance, Mexico's new home shirt for 2015 looks like a Real Madrid jersey.
While Tim Howard continues to play for Everton and spend more time with his family, there will be sizeable void in the United States Men National Team's defense in a very literal sense. Between the two back-up goalkeepers who traveled with the team to Brazil, and a few scattered amongst MLS and the English Premier League, the fight for a starting birth should become very interesting during the next year.

After a three-week layoff, the SBI Show is back, and we have plenty to discuss in the first show after the 2014 World Cup.
Episode 153 of The SBI Show touches on a wide array of topics, from the World Cup, to the recent blockbuster signings in MLS, to the latest on Gedion Zelalem and Freddy Adu.
MLS Cup 2015 offers crazy experience on and off the field.
There are very few reasons for me to greet 4:30 a.m. willing and it wouldn't surprise many that one of those reasons is soccer.
Sunday, Dec. 6, 2015, marked the day of the 2015 MLS Cup. The Columbus Crew would host the Portland Timbers for a game that was touted as one not to miss.
There was a lot to celebrate Sunday during the U.S. Women's National Team's 5-2 victory against Japan. Between Carli Lloyd achieving the fastest hat trick in any World Cup final to the team's third title, fans took to social media to share their celebrations.
We've picked out some of our favorite videos and pictures, let us know if you think we missed some!
AFCON 2015: Ghana expectations lower after World Cup heartbreak, but Avram Grant must still deliver is a post from: Just Football

Ibra says...our pick of Zlatan Ibrahimovic's best quotes is a post from: Just Football
If there's one thing you can count on from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, apart from a stunning goal here and there, it's his unpredictability you never know what epic soundbite is going to fall out of his mouth next.
Brazil's ill-fated World Cup manager back in work... in Brazil! - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
Luiz Felipe Scolari isn't the most popular man in Brazil right now, held accountable by a section of the nationalfans for the biggest demoralization of their national team in history. You surely don't need to bereminded of the game in question; a7-1 mauling by Germany, in their own World Cup.

Pearl Jam gave fans a small preview of Backspacer track "Amongst the Waves" with a 10-second, Verizon-only ringtone that was released yesterday. According to Fierce Wireless, in the weeks leading up to the release of Backspacer, the band will release ringtones for every track on the album up until September 17th.
First single "The Fixer" and "Got Some," the song the band debuted on The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien, were the first ringtones released at the onset of the promotion, with "Amongst the Waves" joining the pair yesterday. (Listen to the 10-second snippet here.)
Next Thursday, August 13th, the band will offer up 10 seconds of "Just Breathe" to their fans with Verizon phones, followed by album opener "Gonna See My Friends" on August 20th. The ringtone promotion isn't the first time Pearl Jam has linked up with Verizon: Last year, in coordination with the Pearl Jam's "bootleg club," Verizon offered up free downloads and streaming tracks from the Seattle quintet's 12-date North American tour. Verizon and Pearl Jam also joined forces for a "10 Weeks of Ten" promotion in January '09 when the band's debut album was reissued. For Backspacer, Pearl Jam also agreed to a deal with Target to make the chain the lone big-box retailer that can offer up the band's new album.
In addition to "The Fixer" and the live rendition of "Got Some," fans have also heard a demo version of new track "Speed of Sound" after successfully completing the Backspacer album art scavenger hunt, Rock Daily reported last week. Pearl Jam's new LP is due September 20th. Eddie Vedder and the entire PJ gang will take stage tomorrow, August 8th, at Calgary, Alberta's V Festival, so fans can probably expect to hear some new songs live as the band kicks off their 2009 tour.

Michael Waltrip Racing has announced that Aaron's Sales & Lease Ownership will sponsor the team's No. 00 Sprint Cup entry and driver David Reutimann for 18 races in 2009.
The company will also sponsor MWR's Nationwide entry for 10 races, with Reutimann and Michael Waltrip splitting time behind the wheel. This baffles me a bit as Reutimann has performed pretty well in the Nationwide series this year, and all indications are that he will contend for the championship in that series next year.
Splitting time with Waltrip seems like it will only hurt him, instead of help.

this product get the job done but i wouldn't recommend it, there is so many other alternatives.
I wouldn't recommend this moisturizer to someone with dry skin (such as myself). I didn't like that gritty texture from the shimmer, either. The shimmer in this moisturizer didn't make my skin look like it was glowing; it just looked like glitter on my skin.
Wasn't particularly moisturizing for me... and my skin isn't dry either. But after cleansing it feels a bit tight sometimes, but this didn't help much. It is scented a bit and I think that actually irritated my skin because it stung a bit. I wouldn't recommend this and I'm sticking with my trusty CeraVe.
I mean you get what you pay for. This is a light moisturizer and it doesn't give very much to my skin. I have used half a bottle an it was great for summer but not deep enough for winter. I will finish this bottle but will not purchase again. It would work better if I didn't have super dry skin! It's good though.
i have combination skin so after i use my facial wash "clean and clear advantage 3 in 1 foaming acne wash" this can make your skin a little dry but after i use this it evens my skin tone and has little shimmers that makes my skin look fabulous. it has spf 15 so thats great too.
i have really tight, dry skin, and looked for years for the right moisturizer. i have now been using this one for a good 2 or 3 years and i love it. its light and not greasy, and although some people hate the slight shimmer, i love it, the sunlight reflects amazingly giving u a sunkissed look. i dont even use any makeup base.
cant beat it for the price
I really don't like this product, it irritated my skin, felt like there was sand in the product, and just really didn't moisturize! I wouldn't recommend this to anyone with dry or sensitive skin.
I have oily skin and i bought this cause it looked promising. I love it so much but the problem is it makes me too oily and greasy and i dont need that when i already have oily skin. Even in winter it still makes me oily and greasy. I want to use it so bad but i dont thin k i can :( I hope this helped!!
It works well for the price and it makes my face smoother.
Brownie Points!
I have combination skin and I used this moisturizer for a few days and it ended up actually drying out my skin horribly. I've used clean and clear moisturizers before and love them. BUT I will never buy this product again.

It's a hard life when you're a global pop star . There you are spending some quality time with your stunning girlfriend aboard a luxury yacht and all of a sudden hell breaks loose.
Poor Liam Payne.
Shots of the One Direction pin-up aboard said yacht off the southern French coast with bikini-clad beauty Sophia Smith caused an internet storm after critics - somewhat harshly - began claiming the hunk was overweight.
However, the 20-year-old has taken the new accusations about his new 'portly' profile in his stride - and has even gone one further by posing in a fat suit.
A cheeky shot of Liam with his cheeks puffed out and a T-shirt stuffed to make him appear larger than life surfaced on photo-sharing site Instagram , under the guise 'fakeliampayne', with the caption: "I mean OH MY GOD I'm just so fat these days I think I need help! Quick someone take the cookie jar".
The claims have also been met with fierce opposition by 1D fans, who have been quick to defend the star.
One said: "If you were fat you would be beautiful as now! What????? You don't know you're beautiful. @fakeliampayne no one can hurt my idol."

February 29: Leap day
Feb 28th, 2012 by Connie
February 29, also known as leap day in the Gregorian calendar, is a date occurring in most years evenly divisible by 4 (2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016). Years evenly divisible by 100 don't contain a leap day, with the exception of years that are evenly divisible by 400, which do contain a leap day. Therefore 1900 didn't contain a leap day while 2000 did. Years containing a leap day are called leap years. February 29 is the 60th day of the Gregorian calendar in such a year, with 306 days remaining until the end of that year.

We certainly take pride in the creativity and industrious nature of our fellow citizens and institutions. It's basic human nature to want to take stock in what we value and celebrate these things with one another. But just how much celebrating is necessary on the whole, and at what cost?
There has been a bit of a debate heating up over the possible overdoing of some of the weekend festivals and community events that a) often tend to close off public thoroughfares, even whole sections of neighborhoods at times, preventing the normal flow of traffic to move through; and b) utilize city funds that might be used in other, better ways.
We seem to have something to celebrate each and every weekend, with multiple events sometimes taking place in public spaces, funded at least in part by public monies. Sure, things slow down a bit once winter hits and the streets are iced over. We are waiting for the advent of the first Slush and Ice Fest. Until then, we might consider just how much of a good time should be had and who should be footing the bill.
These events give the city character and show off our uniqueness in the way we do things, which is probably a good thing. Many of them generate a high volume of involvement by our local youth, which is also a very good thing. Still, we think it might be a smart thing if we took a dispassionate look at the big picture and ask ourselves when enough is enough. Set a certain limit to street closures and spending and stick to it.
Everybody loves a good party, but the party givers must respect the needs and concerns of all who are affected. Also, the costs involved should be regulated in a responsible way.
See you all at the Common Sense Fest, hopefully.

The Gunners come to White Hart Lane for a third round tie in the Capital One Cup – and there must be a winner on the night.
Extra time and penalties will be brought into play if the scores are level after 90 minutes.
But, whatever happens, centre-half Jan says we're in good shape going into the contest having won our last three consecutive matches in all competitions.
"It's a big game against Arsenal – it's a very important one, as it always is," said the Belgian international.
"We have to keep this momentum going now and we want to beat them.
"We've kept three cleans sheets on the bounce before this game, which is great – we are learning more and more to play alongside other.
"The forwards are working well, Dele (Alli) and Eric (Dier) in front of the back four are working very hard too and obviously Hugo (Lloris) is class.
"Once you get one clean sheet you build confidence and that's exactly what we're doing."
As for our line-up against the Gunners, Jan believes that whoever starts for us will be more than capable of carrying on from where we left off against Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday.
"The gaffer may change it up – you never know – but after this game it's City, Monaco and Swansea so we have to make sure we find the right balance," he added.
"We started off very well against Palace and we continued like that for 90 minutes. I think we were the better team throughout the game.
"They were dangerous, twice hitting the post and forcing a great save from Hugo, but I think we played very well and looked very solid so we'll be looking to carry that sort of thing on against Arsenal."
10 October 2017
Humble Jan Vertonghen revealed he never even foresaw himself winning one cap for Belgium when he was a boy, never mind breaking the all-time appearance record for his country.
4 September 2017
Jan Vertonghen says he's only heard good things about fellow Ajax alumnus Davinson Sanchez.

Mallow man brought horse tranquiliser to Dingle Races
A MAN who bought the horse tranquilliser PCP online before a trip to Dingle Races admitted in court that he had intended to administer the illegal drug to a friend's horse.
Michael Kelliher of 4 Avondale Court, Mallow, was charged with possession of the controlled drug at Dingle District Court following his arrest for being drunk on Main Street, Dingle, on August 12 last year.
The court heard that while Mr Kelliher was arrested because he was intoxicated, a later search at the garda station uncovered just over €100 worth of the drug wrapped in plastic in the pocket of his shirt. Superintendent Aileen Magnier said that the amount was 'minuscule' despite its value.
Supt Magnier told the court that the drug used to be available in head shops and is often given to horses, but said it is a controlled, illegal drug.
When asked by Judge James O'Connor why he had the drug in his possession, Mr Kelliher said he had been at Dingle Races and had intended to administer it to a friend's horse.
"It was for a horse. It calms the horse down," he said, "I had intended to give it to a horse that a friend of mine owns."
He added that he had bought the drug on the internet and was not aware it was illegal. Had he known, he said, he would not have had it in his pocket.
Mr Kelliher's solicitor said that her client had been in Dingle Races all day and was fully cooperative with gardai when he was arrested for being drunk. She added that the drug was not for supply and, despite the value placed on it by gardai, he had purchased it for €20.
With no previous convictions for drugs on his record, Mr Kelliher was fined €350 for the offence, while the charge of being drunk in public was taken into consideration.


text: The Siren wiki last edited by chrisburgess99 on 12/24/16 05:10PM View full history Character HistorySiren, also known as La Sirène la Bailene, is a minor Lwa, a vodou spirit. She comes from the gulf of Benin – a place where the vodou houngans praise the Lwa – and thus prefers warmer water. She is rumoured to have been born to a Vodou-Lwa and a mortal man who was possessed by a Guéde. In vodou-lore, the Guéde are the spirits of death and fertility. Over the course of her life, she has learned many languages, which she uses in her hypnotic songs. Other than that, there is not much known about her earlier life.Siren debuted in The Titans #5, where she uses her voice to induce hydrophobia in the people of Four Heroes, Maine. Damage, Argent and Tempest investigate the strange occurences, fthe latter dismissing the occurences as "curve balls life throws". He then happens to come across Siren, who is walking through town. It is not the green skin and the scales that tip off Tempest in but the fact that Siren smells of saltwater, while the rest of the village is scared to death of water. Upon being confronted, Siren calls Tempest a traitor to the ocean and flees, seducing Damage into freeing her from a block of ice Tempest trapped her in. She escapes by instilling hydrophobia in Damage and Argent, leaving Tempest to save his teammates. Siren was unable to instill fear in Tempest because there was no fear to enhance, seeing as he comes from the water. The Titans finally manage to capture Siren, cure Four Heroes of hydrophobia and hand the villain over to the DEO. However, before she reaches a prison, she is freed by Vandal Savage and recruited to be part of Savage's short-lived team Tartarus. Her next appearance took place in Young Justice #50 where Young Justice invaded Zandia. She was tasked to stop the first wave of the attacking teenage heroes and successfully hypnotized Lagoon Boy, promising to make a man out of him. She is quickly stopped by Jayna of the Wonder Twins.After that she is seen in Infinite Crisis in which she joined the Secret Society Of Super Villains. Powers and abilitesSiren has the ability to hypnotize people with her songs. This power appears to be limited by a language barrier and in order to instill fear in her victims, they must have some sort of basic and dormant fear in them.In addition to that, Siren is able to turn her fish tail into a pair of legs, thus enabling her to walk on land.

Turks and Caicos comprises of a network of forty islands and cays and is one of the destinations that records more tourist activity throughout the year. The place ranks among the best beaches in the world, best honeymoon destinations, and best places to visit in the Caribbean.
These islands are known for their unspoiled beauty and coral reefs. Over the years, Turks and Caicos have remained to be an exclusive and scheduled getaway. Those who regularly spend their vacation in the skinny strips of white sand in these islands will confirm to you that there is no other way to relax. The Turks and Caicos National Museum has much to offer in terms of the rich history and culture of the region. You can begin your day by exploring one of the world's largest reef systems or go diving at the tiny, flat Salt Cay.
The official language at the Islands is English while the official currency is the U.S dollar though Turks and Caicos is considered a British territory. Another important thing to note is that the islands don't have public transportation.
The Hurricane and Rainy Seasons
Turks and Caicos Islands experience the wettest season in summer. Although the hurricane season in the Caribbean region runs between June and November Turks and Caicos Islands are usually not hit by large hurricanes because of the mountains in the Dominican Republic and Haiti which dampen the impact. It is important to take out travel insurance when travelling to the Islands during the hurricane season.
The best time to go for vacation or rather visit Turks and Caicos is between the months of April and May. At this time, you'll enjoy lower prices and encounter less crowds at hotels and attractions. The peak season begins in December and ends in March just like other Caribbean Islands. The rates in hotels usually increase during the high season. Many travelers are attracted by the Caribbean weather between December and March as they escape the cold.

USB-Movie Play Info could be MUCH better
TV: 5000 series.
When playing a movie from the USB, and then pressing the Info button on the remote, the time-into-the-movie is shown on a nice proportional position bar. It would be more than nice to also display the Total Movie Duration time (as on most PC media players) AND to show the current time of day and date. Please improve the Info functionality soon.

I took a very long pause writing posts. Hey, it just happened. Life got busy. I moved. Both kids got planted in college life. And I'm firmly embedded back in New England.
I love Portlands. My first time living in Portland, Oregon was in '79. It was way smaller then. Got a job in a research lab at the VA – #1 of several VA jobs. Then med school at OHSU, and primary care residency in Rhode Island. It didn't take long to run back to the Northwest – with all the 365/24/7 green and those mountain glaciers. Learned to love rain. Came to Portland, Maine in '97 – to combine research, practice improvement and medical education.
I soon met Richard Rockefeller, who introduced me to patient computing before most people owned a computer. He opened my eyes to possibilities of technology for health care and patient partnership. He was insightful, a pioneer with vision to see how the internet would create stronger partnerships between patients and health providers. I met him years ago when he began Health Commons Institute, a Maine non-profit that spread the word about patient-computer-provider opportunity. He participated in the seminal effort of Healthcare in a Land Called People Power: nothing about me without me. Richard introduced me to informatics, and was single-handedly responsible for shifting my career trajectory. I was fortunate to gain his support to study patient use of an early personal health record at Martin's Point in Brunswick, Maine. The take home: people with chronic conditions used the portal as often or more often than the 'worried well' (those not with a chronic condition). That study was published in J. Medical Internet Research in 2004, "Using Claims Data to Examine Patients Using Practice-Based Internet Communication: Is There a Clinical Digital Divide?" These results were enough for me: I returned to Oregon for formal medical informatics education.
Now I've returned to Maine. The end of Portland-to-Portland transitions.
It was devastating to learn a few months ago about his tragic death. The world lost a wonderful creative soul and pioneer, passionate about improving peoples lives and connecting one another through the use of digital tools.
Richard, you are sorely missed, RIP.
The Society of Participatory's Michael Millenson wrote a lovely blog post about Richard.
There's great innovation happening here, and I look forward to jump into the fray. VA Maine and the VA Office of Rural Health recently embarked on connecting with the statewide health information exchange, HealthInfoNet. Maine's HIE is a national leader, with aggregated data on the great majority of residents from all hospitals and most care sites. Using an opt out model, clinicians from across the state have real-time data at their fingertips. I look forward to helping with clinical adoption at Maine VA, and learn much more about shared health data that's actionable for clinicians.
Next stop: HIE facing the consumer? Maybe not today. It's still summer, the sun is shining and it's a good day for a quick kayak in Casco Bay. Always nice to be on the water in Maine, but sad that there's one less sweet soul with whom I planned to reconnect.

Broncos season-ticket holders proved their football savvy as they grilled new head coach John Fox in an hour-long conference call Monday afternoon.
More than 6,000 ticket holders participated, with 31 of them getting a chance to ask Fox a question. And they didn't hold back.
Spencer from Littleton let Fox know this call wouldn't be a complete love fest when he got the chance to ask the first question.
"What's the plan for the defensive line?" Spencer asked.
It was the same question Fox, John Elway and Brian Xanders had to answer several times over the course of the weekend, as seven rounds of the draft went by without the Broncos selecting a defensive tackle.
"We haven't had free agency yet, but there will be that some point," Fox said. "That will be the area that we address. It is full of a lot of talented players." Ticket-holder Wesley from Pueblo followed up by asking Fox about why he wants veterans instead of rookies at defensive tackle. Fox answered by explaining that it was a combination of how the draft played out, and the chance to acquire experienced players who are still in their 20s.
"It's not that we didn't try to acquire a defensive lineman in the draft," Fox said. "The way it fell, we didn't want to reach for need."
It took 19 minutes before a ticket-holder mentioned the T-word: Tebow. But Fox wouldn't bite on a variety of questions about who — Tim Tebow, Kyle Orton or Brady Quinn — would be the team's starting quarterback this year.
"First of all, these guys are all new to me. I'm familiar with all three players, evaluated them coming out. I know them from afar," Fox said. "As I get to know them, watch them practice, watch them compete. That's when you start ranking them 1-3." Other highlights from Fox's conference call:

Natasa and I are honoured to be recipients of the 2014 Award of Excellence by the Waterloo Regional Heritage Foundation for heritage preservation in Waterloo Region. Natasa and I are strong believers that architectural character is something earned, over time and we are committed to restoring the wonderful old buildings we are fortunate to have here in Hespeler Village on the River!
At the time of this award the Hespeler Hotel was doubling as a Greyhound Bus Station in Stephen King's latest TV production. This was the 4th TV/Film production to feature the Olde Hespeler Hotel building since being awarded a Heritage grant from the Region of Waterloo in 2011.
Heritage grants, and municipal incentives are essential ingredients for core area developers. These financial incentives are economic development drivers that are evident for our heritage properties that have resulted in higher than market rental rates, lower vacancies, low tenant turn over and ultimately higher tax revenues for municipalities.
Both Natasa and I are extremely grateful to Natasa's parents Yvonne and Rudi Kavcic for their endless help and support. (Financially and in good old fashioned elbow grease) Most of all, we are thankful to our brave commercial tenants who have the entrepreneurial daring to invest ahead of the curve and establish themselves as early adopters here in our soon to be booming Village on the River.

UPDATE: Marlon Byrd pulled back the curtain on the details of his contract to Jim Salisbury of CSN Philly. He's got a four-team no-trade clause (Byrd, not Salisbury) and the Mariners are one of them.
The Phillies have some options as Major League Baseball's trade deadline approaches. They could make a low-profile move with players like like A.J. Burnett, Kyle Kendrick, and/or Marlon Byrd; or they could rip Chase Utley, Cole Hamels, or Cliff Lee off the roster for three or four players in return.
You can find wisdom behind either type of move. But keep in mind that the Phillies have for some time been wary to do anything at all, and they are reluctant to engage in a full rebuild now. Therefore, trades involving lower tier players are more likely.
Byrd has been one of those hitters, carrying much of the Phillies' power in Ryan Howard's there-but-not-there performance from the clean-up spot. Byrd is hitting .261 for the season with a .794 OPS, the second highest on the team behind Chase Utle, and has knocked a team-leading 18 HR and 52 RBI. Those numbers have caught the eye of multiple teams. One of them has made itself bit more apparent of late.
The #mariners, on the lookout for a RH bat, recently scouted the #phillies Marlon Byrd.
— Jerry Crasnick (@jcrasnick) July 11, 2014
The Mariners have a need for offense to surround Robinson Cano, and a need to spend frugally because they're the Mariners. Byrd's deal is for two years and $16 million, with an $8 million option for 2016. His play has been deemed worth a look, despite the cost for a 36-year-old outfielder, and Seattle may request that the Phillies devour part of the deal.
Cano and third baseman Kyle Seager lead the third place Mariners in most offensive categories. Seattle is in third place in the AL West at 49-43, behind Anaheim and Oakland. An injection of offense could give the Mariners a chance at trimming the nine game deficit between them and first place, or at least a strengthend shot at a Wild Card. With the third best run differential in all of baseball, they've clearly outperformed expectations this year.
Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal's asserted that Seattle should pursue David Price, presumably to combat Oakland's recent stockpiling of pitching talent in Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel. But the Mariners are on in everybody: Byrd, Price, Josh Willingham, Ben Zobrist, Justin Morneau, Matt Joyce, even Cliff Lee.
With a surplus of prospects - a top one in Taijuan Walker - and an overflow of middle infielders and relievers, the Mariners are ready to deal. The Rays seem to match up with them a bit more naturally, but if Seattle wants to "be in on" Marlon Byrd, then why not?
Perhaps that's getting a little too far ahead. Right now, the Mariners are just looking at Marlon Byrd as an option, and the best thing for the Phillies would be to see their right fielder continue producing and making himself more desirable.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Toney Douglas scored 19 points Wednesday as Florida State rallied from a 10-point second half deficit to take a 69-67 victory over Virginia.
Douglas, the Atlantic Coast Conference steals leader, put the Seminoles ahead 63-62 on a free throw. He then swiped the ball from Virginia's Sean Singletary to add two more free throws after being fouled on his way for an uncontested layup.
Florida State (13-7, 2-3 ACC) led 31-28 at the half, but it didn't take long for it to evaporate.
Virginia (11-6, 1-3) led 56-46 with 8:58 left on a Singletary layup, but Florida State caught up at 60-all on Isaiah Swann's 3-point shot from deep in the corner with 2:27 left. Douglas' layup with 1:55 to go gave the winners a 62-60 lead.
Douglas, who had six steals in the game, hit 7 of 11 shots from the floor and also had six rebounds.
Jason Rich added 17 points and Swann 16 as coach Leonard Hamilton collected his 300th career win and 100th at Florida State, which snapped a three-game conference losing streak.
Mamadi Diane led Virginia with 21 points, Adrian Joseph added 17 points and a game-high 8 rebounds while Singletary finished with 11 points and a game-best 7 assists.
Virginia jumped off to a 12-2 start, but Swann scored seven points in 34 seconds (a free throw following his first of two quick 3-point shots) capping a 10-0 run that tied the game at 15.
The Cavaliers shot just 41.7 percent in the game and were outscored 23-11 in the final 8:58.

Dunno where else to post, I think this is the right place :S Please 'kindly' re-direct me if necessary
I just bought Overgrowth a couple days ago and, my God, it's A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I really didn't expect it to be so good. I always wanted to get it, so the instant it popped up on Steam, I leaped onto it, like... like a rabbit!!
Anyway, after my hours of playing it and having a good ole time I decided to try some community made mods/maps etc. I soon discovered that I need to get onto some 'secret' forum. However I can't get onto it without some kind of code. I've put in my Steam CD Key I got when I purchased it from Steam, but it says it is not in its database. I've heard that I need a code from the Humble Bundle website? So what I did was create an account on that, merged it with my Steam account!... Yet I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get this code.
I understand why this forum exists, to avoid it being used by pirates, and I think it's genius! So if anyone could tell me how and what I need to do to get the code I need to get into the forum, whether I need to put my Steam CD Key into something, and start enjoying the game even more and for even more hours
My Steam name at the moment is 'Oushi'. You can check me out to see that I do indeed own Overgrowth, and have spent several hours on it, and if you want, you can add me and maybe help me over Steam's chat, it'll be much appreciated
Thanks for any help given!!

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Gold rose 1 percent on Friday, breaking a four-day losing streak, as bullion moved in sync once again with riskier assets on optimism European leaders will be able to contain the region's debt crisis.
Gold posted its biggest one-day gain in two weeks as Wall Street and commodities rallied after the euro zone's two biggest powers France and Germany said they would meet twice -- on Sunday and Wednesday -- to prevent the crisis from engulfing the entire 17-nation currency area.
The metal was 2.5 percent lower for the week, its biggest decline in four weeks, falling in tandem with riskier assets such as equities and industrial metals.
Gold option volatility has increased this week as calls were bid up by funds seeking a hedge against downside risks for their futures positions amid high uncertainty about the situation in Greece and the EU.
"As the moves are getting larger again, that is definitely a sign that volatility will be coming back in the market as investors are interested in participating into gold again," said Mihir Dange, COMEX gold options floor trader for Arbitrage LLC.
Spot gold was up 1.2 percent at $1,637.39 an ounce by 3:13 p.m. EDT.
U.S. gold futures for December delivery settled up $23.20 at $1,636.10 an ounce. Volume for Friday's rally was about half of its 30-day average, consistent with the quiet trading pace of the past two weeks.
Gold has increasingly performed like a risk-linked commodity. Bullion's unusual positive correlation with the S&P 500 stock index has risen to its strongest in four months, and the metal's positive link with bellwether industrial metal copper has climbed to its tightest in almost a year.
Bullion accelerated gains earlier in the session after sources at the German government said there were no serious differences between Germany and France.
"It's not surprising to see buyers begin to step in here out of concern that they would miss an opportunity for another (rally)," said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at broker-dealer Janney Montgomery Scott, which has $54 billion in assets under management.
However, investors remain jittery as France's push to use more European Central Bank money to fight the euro zone debt crisis ran into strong resistance from Germany and other EU partners.
The metal also benefited as the dollar .DXY fell nearly 1 percent against major currencies as investors' risk appetite grew ahead of the EU summit.
On charts, technical analysts said that gold remained vulnerable to a further sell-off after it broke below its 100-day average on Wednesday. Bullion will find support at sharply lower prices at below $1,600 an ounce, they said.
This month, global gold ETF holdings are set for their largest net increase in three months, having risen by more than 170,000 ounces to 67.229 million ounces
Silver, which can move in lock-step with gold but more frequently tracks base metals, notched a 3 percent decline this week. It was last up 2.5 percent at $31.26 an ounce.
Palladium rose 5 percent to $612.23. The price is down 1 percent this week as concern has increased over the outlook for demand from China, which is key for car sales in the world's largest auto market.
Platinum was up 1 percent at $1,506.99 an ounce.

Because they played in a girls club soccer tournament Monday, at least "three or four" athletes were barred from playing in their high school games yesterday, confirmed Paul Rusko, acting county coordinatorof physical education.
Rusko said the girls missed at least part of the school day and practice to play in the Washington Area Girls Soccer League Tournament, one of the nation's largest and most prestigious youth tournaments.
Playing in the tournament violated a Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association rule that states that outside participation cannot conflict with an athlete's high school practice or games. One of the athlete's schools turned itself in Monday morning to Rusko, who immediately contacted MPSSAA Executive Secretary Ned Sparks.

What Kinds of Direct Mail Marketing Services Produce the Best Results?
Targeting customers through direct marketing is one of the easiest ways to encourage repeat business and entice new customers to work with your company. Direct mail services range from colorful fliers to email newsletters that go directly to your mailing lists email inboxes.
Drive Your Brand Name Home
Direct mail services can reduce the amount of time and money your company spends on its advertising campaigns. While you might still want to run ads in newspapers or on television, marketing companies target the people you want shopping in your stores or buying services from your business. First you have to decide which direct mail products you want to send. Brochures, fliers, coupons and letters let you interact with past, current and future customers effectively.
Using the Right Products
The days of hiring traditional marketing companies to create your direct marketing are a thing of the past. With the newest forms of technology now available, all you need is a computer, a printer and ink or toner. Many direct mail companies let you email them the files and attachments, and then they create the final direct mail pieces for you. Youll receive a file that you can print at home, in your office or using a copy center. Photo and document editing software even lets you create your own files and advertising pamphlets without hiring an advertising expert or hiring your own marketing department.
The Costs and Challenges of Direct Marketing
No matter your budget, you can develop your own direct mail services. Print shops can work with you to develop marketing services, including signs for your shop, bus and bench advertisements, and customer mailings, like letters and postcards. The biggest challenge in creating direct mail pieces is identifying your brand message. This is what gets customers excited about your products and makes them want to work with you. The trick is to personalize the message and use the right colors and wording. Using too many colors, exclamation points or wild fonts can be a deterrent. The last thing you want prospective customers to think is that your piece is junk mail! Asking your employees and others for opinions before you use any printed direct marketing services is helpful.
Direct mail services show past and current customers that youre interested in their experiences and that you want them to remain loyal to your business. It also encourages new customers to try your products and services.

Prodigal Dad takes a pill or four
01/18/2013 7:35pmI came out of the "crazy closet" to my children last year officially. Armed with my Prodigal Dad mindset, I started off by admitting to them that sometimes I ... overreact. You could have knocked them over with a feather.

I should take more. I might. MAYBE.
Poor second child and his not-blogging mother. I'm back at work next week so have been trying to get lots of cuddles in!
What he's doing now:
– babbling, lots of ah-goo for the past few weeks
– reaching and grasping for his toys (and making googoo eyes at them)
– scooching around on the floor when he's down for mat time
– big gummy grins
– sticking his tongue out very politely
– he's taken a bottle, mum is sad
And the big one… Sleeping through! Mostly. Not last night for instance.
He's a good boy! And has only been stood on by his sister once.
So that second baby is now a week old. It's gone pretty quickly, but the sooner we get to the bit where he sleeps all night the better!
Yes I know we've been home for a week now and this should have been up sooner. I've been busy!
Tired, lumpy, sore, manky-eyed and phlegmed up. SO HOT.
Here's how this one went.
Contractions started about 10:30 on Sunday night, of course. Heaven forfend I should actually get a decent night's sleep before exploding in baby. I managed to get a tiny bit of sleep while they were still 10 minutes apart, but they were pretty strong to start with and quickly became more frequent. Which means, wah WAH, no sleep. Oh, and I woke up with a manky sticky eye to top it all off THANKS UNIVERSE.
Do cats know these things? Kittenpoppy was being very clingy all night and shadowing me everywhere. I figure she either she thought I was brewing something for her to eat or she was trying to warn me to get the dishes done.
At about 3am contractions were about 5 minutes apart and Sam decided he'd go get some sleep. :\ I also had to send the early warning alerts to the parents (sorry sorry!) so Dad and Di left Thames and Mum came over to keep an eye on Amelie.
Contractions are ouchy, y'know? Like, no-sleep painful, even during early labour.
At 5-ish they were 3 minutes apart so we headed up to the hostible so I could get an assessment. The verdict was 2cm and a ways to go, so we were given the option of hanging around or coming home to be painful in comfort. We came home…
Dad and Di took Amelie with them when she woke after 7 (she was very excited to find a lounge full of grandparents) and Mum, Sam and I headed out for a day of walking around – down by the water in Mangere Bridge and then to the Museum. Which, incidentally, is really really boring if you confine yourself to the ground floor. And also PAINFUL if you do it while in labour.
TMI: Show! In the museum! Ew! Thankfully no waters broken. And we didn't get trapped in the revolving door, though that would have made an interesting exhibit.
Sideline: guys, contractions do feel like really painful wave-like cramps. This isn't the time to explain that you once had a really bad leg cramp so you understand the pain. It's really really not. It probably never will be.
At about 2 I completely wussed out and went back to the hospital in the hopes of being given lots and lots of drugs. While there'd been some progress I still wasn't in established labour and there was some discussion on the merits of staying in, having drugs and getting some rest vs manning up and going home and trying to relax OK BUT IT FREAKIN HURTS WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN RELAX?! As a precaution I had the fetal heart monitor attached and ooo… With the stronger contractions, baby's heart was going apeshit (this is a medical term), spiking up around 200 and dropping to… 0. Which I assume isn't an ideal heart rate for fetuseses.
At this point two things were decided.
- 1. I was not going home
- 2. I was not getting drugs
So basically for the next 4 hours I was strapped up and bed-bound but not drugged in any way. Contractions really hurt too. It's like… they really hurt 12 hours ago. And now they really really hurt – like going from an 8 to an 8.5 on a scale of hurtiness. But I digress.
The heart issue reappeared on a few more of the stronger contractions, the registrar was called in, some wedging and repositioning was undertaken and it seemed to resolve. It was possibly a cord compression issue, which isn't a major given that shifting around got everything into a better alignment. But still, NO DRUGS GIVEN. Why do these people torment me so?
As luck would have it, about an hour after we arrived labour established. Luck, because even more pain is awesomer.
Somewhere around here they decided to whack a lure in and get me on IV fluids. Well. I don't know how most of you feel about giant frakin needles, but I'm not a fan despite pregnancy being one giant needle-fest. I'm ESPECIALLY not a fan when it takes 3 attempts to site them successfully and 2 veins are blown out in the process. I eventually ended up with it right in the crook of my elbow, which is not something I can recommend for practicality or comfort. My arm is still bruised and sore a week and a half later.
And I look like a junky. Again.
Fast forward, contractions suck… ouch ouch.
Apparently we know things are getting serious when I stop cracking wise and making stupid comments about everything. I use humour as a coping mechanism? Whodathunk?
At around 5:30 (I'm totally making times up now), we decided to try gas again despite it doing SFA last time. This time it makes me dizzy and I'd like to think it took the edge off the pain (which means going from a 9 to an 8.75, for what it's worth). However, as things progress Sam takes to jamming it in my mouth for me and I fear for my teeth. It's a bit of a double edged sword.
I don't think I swore very much this time either, but I do recall my pleas for drugs being ignored, and quite a bit of pitiful 'please no more' and 'I can't do this' whining. Which is when I discovered that in labour NOBODY TAKES YOU SERIOUSLY. Instead they're all supportive and 'Of course you can do it!' when all you really really want is drugs. Lots of drugs. So cruel, and most of them I'd never even done anything to.
Things went pretty fast in the end. One moment I was flailing around (elegantly, with grace and poise) and Sam was calling me Amelie because I stroppily wouldn't suck on the gas. The next moment I was all like UM…PUSH! I don't know that urge is the right word. It's a bit gentle really – like a general inclination to push a wee bit. The reality is more of a physiological imperative – there was NO WAY I wasn't pushing right then and there and screw anyone who tried to stop it because I sure as hell couldn't.
I didn't get that with Amelie because I had the epi (which I highly recommend). Yeah, it hurt.
It took about 4 or 5 big pushes and a few little ones. I think? 9 minutes anyway and then it was all over. Except for IT STILL HURT AND NOBODY GAVE ME DRUGS. No episiotomy this time, yay, and no stitches on account of only having a teeny well aligned tear. Woo. But ow.
Alexander (Xander) Gray Rayner-Kirby.
6lb 13oz, born 18/07/11 at 18:39. APGARS 9 and 10, 50cm long, head 34cm.
According to Amelie, he's her special baby, cutey baby, so cute, so tiny. She likes to be involved.
So we (what's gonna work? TEEEEEAMWORK!) managed a natural drug-free – though not by my choice – birth and I can honestly say if it ever happened again, which it won't, I would drug up early and often. I didn't find it empowering or a celebration of womanhood or life or any of that. It hurt like buggery, and since we have safe ways to make it not hurt like buggery, I choose to celebrate those.
We went on to Birthcare again, and I got re-acquainted with the most excellent showers and the constant stream of food brought right to me (no cooking! no dishes!) It's just a pity it costs so freakin much and that I was always at the end of the kitchen run so my food was rarely hot. Of course hungry me cared not a bit and scarfed it anyway…
I love how they really reach for adjectives on the menu too. Luscious I buy. Delicious, sure. But appetizing? You can't do better than that? I note they've updated the menu design since last time too – which means that, sadly, they're no longer using the one I designed while at Spotless. HA.
Xander decided he'd mostly cooperate and give feeding a decent stab, unlike someone else who spent most of the time screaming about the indignity of it all. He was still very snuffly and mucousy when we left though, which made me feel all guilty for having the audacity to be sick and pregnant at the same time.
He's a pretty good baby really. Settles well, so far, and doesn't carry on quite as much as his sister did. We'll keep him (we kept her after all).
So, because I was so slack with updates, incubation in brief:
Heartburn, yes, from the get-go. I also had two hairy babies, so I guess I'll just perpetuate that old wives tale. This time I got the Ranitidine early though. Blessed, blessed ranitidine.
Stretch marks. :( Not til the last few weeks when everything got suddenly itchy and I hatched a crop over the baby-lump on my left hand side. So close.
Cravings… neh. Ate a lot of fruit, but that's because it's tasty. Cheeseburgers again maybe?
Heft… 8kg gained, which was less than with Spudelie and put me a grand total of 1kg over the heaviest I got with her. Teeny tiny baby though.
Nesting… no. I feel robbed.
General preparedness score: 3/10.
She totally knew (and might still eat him).
That'll do pig. That'll do.
I'm not finishing that thought in the expected way, because it's NOT TRUE. I am a huge fat pregnant person and I have a cold. I'm miserable. My face is full of gross and I have an old-man cough (I just hacked up a chunk of something – so hot right now). And even better, Amelie has it too.
So, 36 weeks!
Apparently my uterus is 1000x its original size. Which is good to know and could come in handy as a conversation starter. I have one week left of work and I may or may not make it, depending on how Old Man Cold pans out.
Everything keeps reminding me to pack my hospital bag; down to Sam and Amelie finding and eating the 3 year old emergency boiled lollies in it from last time. So that's today's task. I think I have most of the components… Update: no, I'm missing a few major bits – good thing I checked! Also, I don't recommend packing with a bored and quote unquote helpful 3 year old floating around. Unless you really love re-re-re-folding everything and filtering out the random crap.
OH! We have a car seat (I thought I'd left it really late, but it turns out we actually got it 2 weeks earlier than we did last time) and, bonus, we know how to install it well in advance of needing it.
So, MW this week… I learned my jeans weigh 800g. I weighed them because I thought it was important to know, and they're heavier than I thought they'd be (also a good conversation starter: "Guess how much these jeans weigh! Go on – guess!"). It also means I've put on 8kg so far; 2kg to equal the Amelie-gain. And apparently I need to take more iron, even though the old-people regulariser I'm taking can't counter the iron I'm already ingesting, and I need to get more rest. OK! I own a three year old! REST!
This week #2 was head down, bum up, to the left and back facing my front (Left Occiput Anterior). Amelie was ROT (Right Occiput Transverse) so was head down, to the right and back facing my side, and turned posterior during labour. LOA is like… yay in comparison – this one should be anterior so no back labour repeat. Thank freakin bob.
No name yet, stop asking. It'll have one one day.
Hmm… what else. I put my recliney-ottomanny chair together last night while watching Desperado. It's comfy. It reclines. And it traps 3 year olds.
Desperado is still a good movie.
So that's the update. I guess since I have no more work after next week I should probably post a couple more before #2 hatches. We shall see!
