To cover or not to cover?
I remember reading somewhere that you should never cover the pot when boiling wort.
Is this true? Does anyone know why this is?
DO NOT COVER. Take a gander at this: Dimethyl sulfides - Home Brewing Wiki
I believe you are supposed to leave it uncovered so that the DMS (or something like that) will boil off and not cause any off flavors. I don't think it is as big of a deal when you are using extract, but it is still a good idea to leave the lid off.
You can cover while the wort is coming to a boil. Some cover partially while boiling.
Covering while boiling causes compunds that form DMS, Di-Methyl Sulfide togo back into the wort thus causing off-flavors.
Interesting.. Thanks guys.

Resident educators complete a Formative Progress Review each year of the program until they begin the RESA. The review varies each year, based on the specific activities outlined for each time period. Inside you will find links to assist resident educators, mentors and program coordinators in understanding and completing the reviews.
Program coordinators can choose from one of two upcoming day-long meetings for an opportunity to learn from the Ohio Department of Education staff and other coordinators about implementing the program. The department will host one meeting on Wednesday, May 7 at the Mid-Ohio Educational Service Center in Mansfield and another on Wednesday, May 14 in Dublin at the Online Computer Library Center.
The June 1 RESA deadline is quickly approaching, so please encourage RESA candidates to work on finalizing their task submissions. Many candidates have either not started remaining tasks or are still in process of submitting them.
Most families are well aware and proud to point out the talents and passions that have been passed on from generation to generation (athletic ability, musical gifts, artistic skills, etc.). Most are also well aware of specific health issues that run in the family (cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc.), and many are conscientious to not only share such information with their children, but to encourage by example, healthy behavioral choices to avoid them.
April is Alcohol Awareness Month. In this Know! Parent Tip we focus on alcohol's effects specific to young females.
Many adults assume that underage drinking mostly involves boys. That assumption however, is false. In fact, girls have not only caught up to boys when it comes to drinking, but in many cases have surpassed them. According to results from the 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, among youth aged 12 to 17, the percentage of females who were current drinkers (13.2 percent) was higher than their male counterparts (12.6 percent).

Coming into the 2009 season, I felt pretty good about Jerry Manuel as manager of the Mets. He had an impossible job to handle at the end of 2008, handling the disastrous Mets bullpen, and seemed to do as good a job as one man can do handling that pit. He tried to minimize platoon situations as much as possible. He went with the hot hand at closer. He tried to piece together the best with what he was given, and he seemed to do as good a job as anybody could do in that situation.
I would also be lying if I didn't say that the man was an engaging post-game interview. Following the days of Willie Randolph monotonously saying one tired cliche after another, Jerry seemed like a welcome change, with his infectious chuckle and animated, lively presence in trying to piece together what went wrong that night. He also proved himself to be a leader who wouldn't be bullied, when he benched Jose Reyes during his first day in the job after Reyes came up lame running out a grounder. He seemed to be the answer the Mets were looking for, and I was actually happy to have him around.
Things have changed dramatically since last season. At this point, I want nothing to do with Manuel. I think he's a horrible manager, who doesn't know how to handle a bullpen, manage for game situations, diffuse problems in the clubhouse, or really accomplish anything rather than deflect the problems away from himself. In hindsight, he probably wasn't the asset I thought he was last year, and he has definitely been a problem this year, and sadly he doesn't appear to be going away anytime soon. That's a shame, because he is really a horrible manager.
The first red flag should have been raised last October, when Manuel was given the full-time job after managing the team to a 55-38 finish. During the press conference announcing him as the new manager, Manuel said:
"You get so many statistical people together, they put so many stats on paper, and they say, well, if you do this and you score this many runs, you do that many times, you'll be in the playoffs. That's not really how it works, and that's what we have to get away from. And that's going to have to be a different mind-set of the team in going forward. We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people. We have to win because we have baseball players that know and can understand the game.
We have to put a value on say, moving a runner over. We have to put a value on getting a bases on balls. We have to put a value on infield back, [getting a] ground ball that's sufficient to score a run. Those types of things have to be accented in order for us, in my opinion, to kind of get to the next level.
You don't see a lot of guys that have statistical numbers play well in these championship series. What you see is usually the little second baseman or somebody like that carries off the MVP trophy that nobody expected him to do. That's because he's comfortable in playing that form of baseball, so therefore when the stage comes, it's not a struggle for him."
Most of that is nonsense and shows a lack of understanding for "statistical numbers." While it's nice that Manuel values walks, most of the talk about "productive outs" and bunting was a precursor for what was to come, to hideous excess. Only three teams in all of baseball have had their position players put down more sacrifice bunts than the Mets.
Is it any surprise that two of those teams, the Mariners and Reds, rank with the Mets among the seven lowest run scoring teams in baseball? Only the Tigers, with a surprising 45 sacrifice bunts, are even close to league average in run scoring. While it might not be fair to blame excessive bunting as the reason the Mets aren't scoring runs this year, what with the increase of injuries, it makes stringing together runs that much more difficult when Manuel is so bunt-happy. It's an especially large waste of Luis Castillo, tied for second in baseball in sacrifice bunts, considering he's one of the few Mets who has shown an ability to get on base this season.
Another example of Jerry's managerial blunders is his bullpen handling. I'll give you an example of a recent blunder that nearly drove me up a wall while at the Mets/Phillies game where Pedro officially ended the Mets' season. After pitching a scoreless seventh, Manuel brought out Sean Green to start the eighth, presumably to make the Phillies burn a pinch hitter for when he brought in Pedro Feliciano to actually start the inning. The problem with that logic is, of course, that the Phillies bench is a lot deeper now that the 40 man rosters have expanded, and of course Charlie Manuel would counter by bringing in a right-handed hitter for Feliciano. Feliciano's platoon splits this season.
|vs RHB as LH
|vs LHB as LH
Feliciano gets lefties out, and struggles against righties. He's not one of Manuel's vaunted "crossover guys." Yet Manuel brought hiim in to face what would surely be a right-handed pinch hitter, followed by Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino, two switch hitters who would bat right-handed against Feliciano. Now, what if I told you that the Mets have a pitcher in their bullpen with the following line:
|vs RHB as LH
|vs LHB as LH
You're probably thinking, "Yeah, but this guy is probably right-handed, so what's the point?" Nope, this guy's a lefty, meaning that the Phillies would play right into their hands; as my friend Will has pointed out to me, Ken Takahashi has a weird reverse platoon split that sees him get righties out with regularly, but he struggles against lefties. When the lineup card reads pinch hitter/switch hitter/switch hitter, there isn't a better guy in the bullpen to go to in that situation; going to anybody else, particularly a pitcher with a straight platoon split, is asking for trouble.
Feliciano got out of the inning, which doesn't make the bad process any more forgivable. In fact, getting out of the inning compounded the error. Feliciano was due up 4th in the top of the ninth. In a 1-0 game, that means if the Mets were to do anything to tie the game, they would have to hit for Feliciano. The 3-4-5 hitters for the Phillies were Chase Utley, Ryan Howard, and Raul Ibanez, all left-handed hitters. The way Manuel set things up, if the Mets did anything to tie the game in the ninth, the Phillies were guaranteed to either face a right-handed pitcher or Takahashi, who has a reverse platoon split.
I don't bring this up as an isolated example, but moves like this are far too common for Manuel, who just doesn't seem to be very tactically oriented. He fails to understand his personnel at all. This season, the Mets will have attempted to take more extra bases (meaning 1st to 3rd, 2nd to home, or 1st to home) than any Mets team in the past eight seasons, according to Bill James Online. Conversely, they have made more baserunning outs than any Mets team since 2002. This despite the fact that the team's two best baserunners, Jose Reyes and Carlos Beltran, have been out since mid-May and mid-June, respectively. A good manager recognizes his personnel and adjusts his gameplan due to injuries. A bad manager preaches aggression for the sake of aggression, and blames others when his players get thrown out left and right.
Then there is his bench handling. "Nasty" Nick Evans is likely going to be a part of this team next year. As I've said before, Evans probably isn't going to be an everyday player in the majors, but he can be effective as a 1B/OF who starts against left-handed pitching. In Jerry Manuel's world, that means he rots away on the bench as players like Fernando Tatis and Gary Sheffield leach at-bats from Evans.
Tatis and Sheffield are not signed through next year. Sheffield almost surely won't be back, and I can't see any possible justification for bringing back Tatis, not when Evans can do what he does without costing $2 million. Evans is going to be here next year unless he's traded. Use him! He hasn't started a game since September 11th, and he's appeared three times as a pinch hitter since then. This is a criminal handling of a guy who has some value to this ballclub beyond this season. As my astute buddy Will has pointed out, he was good enough to start Game 162 last year, with this team's playoff hopes on the line, why isn't he good enough to get garbage playing time in the OF and at 1B against left-handed pitchers this year?
I won't even get into the other stuff that irritates me, like his on-going love affair with Omir Santos, or the way he's botched the Daniel Murphy situation this year, or how Cory Sullivan clearly has blackmail material on the man, or how he starts Anderson Hernandez at SS when Mike Pelfrey pitches when Wilson Valdez is clearly a better defensive shortstop, or how his inability to put aside his feud with Ryan Church ran a good player out of town. If I went on about everything that drove me crazy about Jerry Manuel, this would be as long as War and Peace, or a typical Faith and Fear in Flushing post (sorry Greg, your stuff is great!).
The point is, Jerry Manuel is a bad manager. It sickens me that he's going to keep his job next year, because I'm going to have to watch all of these same problems with the team because he's been doing the same dumb stuff since he managed the White Sox. It's not fair to hold the injuries against him, but it is fair to hold against him the numerous dumb things he's done since taking over the Mets. I was wondering where he ranks among the worst Mets managers in my lifetime, and I'm willing to put him at #2, ahead of Art Howe, ahead of Buddy Harrelson, even ahead of Willie Randolph (and long-time readers of this blog know I have little love for Willie).
The only Mets manager in my lifetime who I'd rank as worse is Dallas Green, and he ruined the careers of Bill Pulsipher and Paul Wilson, and forced Jason Isringhausen into the bullpen. I'm never actively happy when a man loses his job, especially in this economy, but I'm going to make an exception for Manuel, Razor Shines, and the rest of this inept coaching staff, with the exception of Howard Johnson. Ironically, the man least likely to keep his job is HoJo, which is a shame because I'd love to see what he could do as a manager. It'd sure beat the heck out of what we've seen out of Manuel.

About the NineTeen Complex
The nineteen complex (for prp NineTeen associated Complex and also referred to as the NTC) is a non-snRNA containing protein complex involved in splicing of nuclear RNAs via the spliceosome. It was originally isolated as a complex containing Prp19p and at least eight other proteins that complemented the splicing defect of extracts from prp19 mutant cells (9). Subsequent work has identified the genes encoding the additional members of the complex: NTC20 (10), SNT309 (11), ISY1 (10), SYF2 (2, 3), CWC2 (4), PRP46 (4), CLF1 (3, 4), CEF1 (12), and SYF1 (3, 4). The complex appears to be conserved as mammalian cells contain a functional equivalent called the Prp19/CDC5 complex composed of a similar, though not identical, set of proteins (13). The nineteen complex associates with the assembling splicesosome during or after the dissociation of the U4 snRNA, stabilizes the U5 and U6 snRNAs in the activated spliceosomal complex that is catalytic for the first step of splicing, and remains through the second step of splicing (14, 15). Following disassembly of the spliceosome, members of the nineteen complex have been found in association with the excised intron (16, 17).
The nineteen complex also appears to be involved in control of fidelity and efficiency of splicing. Mutations in isy1 suppress the relaxed fidelity of recognition of the conserved branchpoint sequence conferred by mutations in prp16, an ATP-dependent RNA helicase required for the second step of splicing, and an isy1 null mutation decreases accuracy of 3'-splice site usage (18). In addition, cells with mutations in prp45, a protein found in association with NineTeen complex members, are defective in splicing of introns with non-canonical sequences at the branchpoint or the 5' or 3' splice sites (19). Splicing efficiency of various transcripts is differentially affected by mutations in spliceosomal components, such as PRP19, suggesting that the spliceosome can distinguish between individual transcripts and possibly use these differences to specifically regulate gene expression via control of splicing (20). Interestingly, the Drosophila crooked neck protein (the homolog of CLF1) regulates glial cell differentiation by facilitating the splicing of specific target genes (21).
Mutational and genetic analysis of several nineteen complex subunits has suggested involvement in other cellular processes in addition to splicing, such as cell cycle regulation, cytoskeletal structure, DNA repair, and vesicular transport (5, 17, 22, 2, 23, 23 24). In most cases it appears that the primary defect is in splicing and the other defects are the result of failure to remove an intron from the transcript of a gene involved in that process. However Clf1p, and possibly also Prp19p, may have other direct roles in addition to splicing.
About CLF1
CLF1 was originally identified as the ortholog of the Drosophila crooked neck (crn) gene which when mutated causes embryonic lethality and severe developmental defects. It is composed almost entirely of fifteen tandem repeats of a 34 amino acid tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) motif often involved in protein-protein interactions, with short non-TPR amino and carboxyl terminal sequences. CLF1 is essential and cells depleted of Clf1p arrest in G2/M and are defective in spliceosome assembly, specifically in the step of adding the tri-snRNP to the spliceosomal complex (17, 1). In addition to interacting directly with a number of nineteen complex members (Cef1p, Ntc20p, Ntc30p, Syf1p, and Prp46p), Clf1p interacts with the U1 proteins Prp40p and Mud2p (homolog of mammalian U2AF65; 4).
Clf1p-depleted cells arrest as large-budded cells, but with intact, fully formed spindles suggesting that failure to splice the TUB1 and TUB3 genes encoding tubulin is not the primary defect, unlike what is seen in other nineteen complex mutations that produce cell cycle arrest. This is further confirmed by genetic analysis with a mad2 spindle checkpoint mutant indicating that the arrest does not depend on an intact spindle checkpoint. CLF1 appears to have a direct role in initiation of DNA replication as clf1-1 mutants fail to initiate DNA replication, Clf1p interacts directly with the Orc2p component of the Origin Recognition Complex (ORC), and Clf1p localizes to chromatin and replication origins in an ORC-dependent manner (25). Clf1p also interacts with Csm1p, a protein involved in meiotic chromosome segregation and spore formation (26).

Pink paradise in a Tervis A girl can never have enough TB or Tervis, so together what more can I ask for. Perfect for a batch of Pirate Punch! July 15, 2014
Bought 2 I bought this for a friend but liked it so much had to buy one for myself. June 13, 2014
Excellent Really nice travel cup! My wife loves it! I have two larger ones that are also nice but this size is better for everyday use. June 8, 2014
Nice Tervis Tumbler I have several Tervis tumblers but I really like the feminine colors on this tumbler. I take it with me to the gym and when running errands. I live in a house of men and don't have to worry about one of them taking this cup. I love it. May 31, 2014
Vibrant color I like the mug but not the lid. Even when closed the lid still allows liquid to pour out. Other than that I enjoy the mug, it keeps coffee hot and water pretty cold.. May 30, 2014
Pretty Design! This was a great addition to my TB Tervis collection. Love the floral design, takes me back to the tropics! May 30, 2014
Gorgeous design! Pls make this beautiful new pink hibiscus design in the 24 ounce size and I'll buy multiple ones for myself as well as gifts for others. The Tervis tumblers are very well made. When combined with your designs they become very special. This is the prettiest design I've seen to date with the Honolulu surfboards a close second. Keep up the good work! We all want the 24-oz size to get through the hot days ahead. Thank you!! May 1, 2014

When a celebrity is about to undergo a medical procedure, what's better than getting some reassurance from another celebrity who's undergone the same procedure? That's apparently what Lady Gaga experienced last week when she had surgery to repair a hip injury. The New York Post reports that Yankees star Alex Rodriguez gave the singer a pep talk before she went under the knife.
According to the Post , A-Rod and Gaga both suffered from the same medical problem: she has a labral tear in her right hip, while he had one in his left, which was repaired January 16. The paper reports that they have the same surgeon, and the two native New Yorkers arrived simultaneously at the doctor's office last week. A-Rod was there for a follow-up appointment, while Gaga was prepping for her operation, reports the Post .
A source close to Gaga told the paper, "It's natural for anyone to be nervous ahead of this type of surgery, especially as a performer or athlete under tremendous pressure to make a quick recovery and be back at peak performance...Gaga was anxious, but Alex talked to her for a while and was able to reassure her."
Gaga came through the surgery fine, and tweeted her thanks to fans for their support soon afterwards.

Two people were stabbed early Saturday morning in Adams Morgan, according to D.C. police.
The two unidentified individuals were transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Police said a group of four black men approached the two for an unknown reason at around 2:55 a.m. on Saturday in the 2300 block of 18th Street NW. The group stabbed the two victims then fled the scene. Police said the victims sustained minor injuries.

The Geography of Bliss: One Grump's Search for the Happiest Places in the World, by Eric Weiner
Weiner is a journalist and self-professed curmudgeon who traveled around the world to see how other countries define happiness. In the process he visited the Netherlands, Switzerland, Bhutan, Qatar, Iceland, Moldova, Thailand, Great Britain, and India. Weiner devotes one chapter to each of these countries and one to the United States, recounting his experiences as a world traveler and ruminating on the elusive source of happiness. The book sheds light, not only the different world views that Weiner encounters, but on American life as well by exposing our own assumptions, attitudes, and desires.

Hemmed in between the coast and a ridge of lush, flower-strewn hills, RINCÓN has managed to hang onto its small town roots, despite being one of the most popular resorts in Puerto Rico and justly celebrated for its bellos atardeceres (beautiful sunsets). Perhaps best known to outsiders as the premier surfing destination in the Caribbean, its northern barrio of Puntas is a maze of narrow lanes and steep slopes dotted with chilled-out guesthouses, bars and cafés, all booming thanks to "surf tourism". US expats (many of them surfers) dominate businesses in the area, providing an easy-going, international feel similar to Vieques. In contrast, the southern beaches of the Caribbean Coast area are lined with gleaming beach resorts, condos and hotels attracting thousands of overseas and Puerto Rican sun-seekers. This area in particular has been experiencing a mini-construction boom, prompting some disapproving locals to refer to the town as "Rin-condo". Development has not gone unprotested however, and thanks to environmental groups, particularly the local chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, Rincón is at the forefront of ecological activism on the island.
In addition to some serious surfing, you can do just about any outdoor activity here, with nearby Isla Desecheo offering some of the best diving in the region, and horseriding along the beach for those who prefer to stay dry. During the winter season hordes of surfers descend on the town, while the blazing summer months are dominated by Puerto Rican vacationers who tend to huddle in the southern resorts – with the waves flattening off, this is the best period for snorkelling and swimming.Read More
Isla Desecheo
Isla Desecheo
Clearly visible around 19km off the coast of Rincón, Isla Desecheo is a barren 370-acre hunk of rock that became a national wildlife refuge in 1983, off-limits to casual visitors. The real draw lies beneath the sapphire waters that surround the island, an underwater wonderland with consistent 30–45m visibility, open for diving and snorkelling. Amid the shimmering corals, swim-through tunnels and caverns just offshore you'll spot nurse sharks, giant lobsters and a plethora of tropical marine life: porcupine fish, spiky scorpion fish, and schools of flounder, snappers and triggerfish. Boats take around 45 minutes to reach the island for details.
Añasco's brandy cakes
Añasco's brandy cakes
Heading south from Rincón towards Mayagüez it's worth making a brief detour to Añasco, a small town "where the gods died". Taíno cacique (chief) Urayoán had a Spanish soldier drowned in the nearby Río Grande de Añasco to prove the white men weren't gods, precipitating the rebellion of 1511, but today Añasco is a hard-working blue-collar town some 17km from downtown Rincón.
The best reason for a pit stop is to try the local speciality, hojaldre cakes (literally "puff pastries", made with brandy and spices), sold from a tiny shop east of the main plaza: Fábrica de Hojaldres (t787/826-5011) is tucked away in a commercial building off Calle 65 Infantería (PR-109) opposite the old Plaza de Mercado – walk through the passage towards the car park at the back and look for the yellow sign. The official address is c/65 Infantería no. 50.

Heering Triple Dream No Bake Dessert
Mixologists use Peter F. Heering liqueurs in many favorite new and classic cocktails including the legendary Singapore Sling, a drink born in 1919 in Singapore's Raffles hotel. Of course, we enjoy sipping Heering liqueurs, (both cherry and coffee flavors), but are also inclined to whip up Heering infused desserts-- like our newest creation, The Triple Dream No Bake Layer Cake. The most difficult part of this dessert is not the creating, but resisting eating seconds. O.K. ... and thirds!

Click HERE to complete the FAFSA.
Click HERE to view video tutorial on completing the FAFSA.
Gloucester County Colleges School Code: 006901
Before filing online, you (and your parent if you are dependent) should go to www.pin.ed.gov and apply for a Personal Identification Number (PIN). Having a PIN allows you and your parents to sign your FAFSA electronically, thereby completing the entire process online.
The Federal government strongly encourages students and parents to select the IRS data retrieval option when completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on the web. This will greatly expedite the processing of your financial aid and minimize any chances of being selected for verification related to any income reported on the FAFSA.
After filing your FAFSA, you will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) from the U.S. Department of Education summarizing all the information you provided on the online application. Your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) will be included in the SAR.
Expected Family Contribution is a number that is used to determine a student's
eligibility for federal student aid. This number results from the financial information the student provided on his or her Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Your EFC is subtracted from your Cost of Attendance (COA) to determine your eligibility for need based aid.
Please review your SAR for accuracy and make any necessary corrections online at www.fafsa.gov.
Contact the U.S. Department of Education if you do not receive your SAR or have questions regarding your SAR.
Check your account on the GCC portal to ensure your FAFSA was received by Gloucester County College; you will also notice that some documents are in a (R) required status. The completed documents must be returned to The Office of Financial Aid.
The financial aid office does not make tentative awards. You will not be awarded any federal or state financial aid (including grants and loans) until all of the required documents have been reviewed.
Once your documents are received by the financial aid office, they will be in a status of Pending Review (N) on the requirements page of the portal. All documents are reviewed within 30 days, however, many are processed much sooner. Please check the status of your documents often. If additional information is needed after the documents have been reviewed, you will see those documents listed on the requirement page. When all documents have been updated to a Reviewed status (S), you may view your financial aid award.
Once your financial aid award is complete, and you have registered for classes, the college will process your financial aid. Financial aid recipients with grants, loans, and/or scholarships can see their awards posted on their GCC Portal , under financial aid awards.
If all of your documents have been reviewed and you do not see a financial aid award, this is because you are not eligible for grants. You are still, however, may be eligible for student loans and scholarships. Gloucester County College does not automatically award students a loan. If you would like to borrow a loan, you can request one. Information about how student loans work and how to request one can be found on our Loan page. Information on scholarships at Gloucester County College can be found on our Scholarship page.
Monitor your financial aid status from time to time before the start of each semester, as your status is subject to change if your enrollment changes.
Book Vouchers
If you are eligible for a refund, you may be able to use a portion of your refund to purchase books and supplies prior to the start of classes.
Book vouchers, which are electronic, will be available only during book voucher periods. The availability of book vouchers will depend on when the student's aid is completed and posted in our system. Students who are eligible for book vouchers and whose aid is completed by the established deadlines should go directly to the book store with their schedule and student ID.
Click HERE for more bookstore information.
Click HERE for more information on book vouchers.
You must present your student ID when purchasing books.
Refund Information
After all tuition and fees have been deducted, students may receive a refund. Refunds are processed after classes begin and after your enrollment in all your courses are verified. Click HERE to see dates.
Refund checks are mailed to the student. Under no circumstance can refunds be picked up at the college. Please verify your mailing address is correct on your portal account. All address changes must be made through Student Records in the Student Services Building.
You may check to see if your refund has been processed by viewing your "Term Bill" on your GCC Portal. If you have a refund charge on your semester summary and your term balance is $0, you refund has been processed and is on its way to being printed and mailed.
How to View your Account Summary by Term:
1. Log in to the Portal (www.gccnj.edu)
2. Click the "Academics" tab.
3. Click "Term Bill" link under the "View or Pay my Bill" tab.

Team Adam Levine lost two members on Tuesday night's results edition of NBC's The Voice when host Carson Daly announced that Judith Hill and Sarah Simmons had received the lowest number of audience votes and were eliminated.
Adam was clearly tense prior to learning America's vote. As Daly stretched the moment while the camera focused on the contestants, Levine could be heard declaring, "I hate this country." A few seconds later, the camera showed him nervously awaiting the results, with fingers on both of his hands crossed.
It didn't take long for the Twitterverse to pick up on Adam's comment, with some calling for him to explain it or apologize, and others defending the comment as clearly a joke. For his part, Adam quickly made it clear that the latter explanation is the right one: on his official Twitter feed, he posted definitions for the words joke , humorless , lighthearted and misunderstand .
The remaining top six on The Voice :
Team Blake:
Danielle Bradbery
Holly Tucker
The Swon Brothers
Team Shakira: Sasha Allen
Team Adam: Amber Carrington
Team Usher: Michelle Chamuel
Sheryl Crow kicked off the broadcast performing her new country single "Easy," accompanied by the members of Team Blake: Holly Tucker, Danielle Bradbery and The Swon Brothers.
Michelle Chamuel and Judith Hill collaborated on "Sweet Nothing," the Calvin Harris and Florence Welch collaboration.
The Swon Brothers and Sasha Allen performed "Don't You Wanna Stay" by Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson .
Sarah Simmons and Danielle Bradbery performed "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri .
Amber Carrington and Holly Tucker performed "Does He Love You" by Reba and Linda Davis .
The live playoffs roll on next Monday night on NBC.

Customer comments about Bram 88" Sofa:
I'm using this as the main seating in my living room. This is a great, modern sofa with clean, straight lines but the large seams and random marks on the leather keep it from looking too formal. I chose the Lagoon Smoke leather option which is a beautiful, cement grey color.The cushions are both soft to the touch and firm enough to lie on. Really happy with this purchase!

- Bram 64" Left-Back Sofa
Q:I'm curious about the use of the left-back-sofa. How do most people use it? Can it work in a small space with the Harper recliner and the otis chair?
Rose LavalleAsked on 9/13/2014 by Rosie from Beach area, L.A.
1 answer
A:The Bram Left-Back Sofa can be used as a sofa, a studio sofa, or a chaise. It is nice in small spaces, and useful with low windowsills. It is a better pairing for the Harper recliner than for the Otis chair.Answered on 9/15/2014 by Design Associate from Room & Board

Q:We are considering the lagoon white leather. This will be our main seating. How easy to maintain is the white leather?Asked on 3/6/2014 by chester from chicago
1 answer
A:While we love the elegant look, in general anything white can be more difficult to keep clean, even leather. In a low traffic setting - without children or pets - in combination with routine leather cleaning and conditioning, it certainly might work well for you. We'd encourage you to request a swatch.Answered on 3/6/2014 by Design Associate from Room & Board

Loyalty is being devoted to people, your country or a cause you believe in strongly.
"If I am not for myself, who is for me? But if I am only for myself, what am I?" Rabbi Hillel, Mishneh: Ethics of the Fathers, I:14
Loyalty is at the very core of human values; without it no social bonds exist between people. Loyalty can take many forms: the loyalty of the citizen to his country, of the comrade to his peers, of the individuals to his family. But in all cases loyalty requires that we look outside ourselves, beyond our own needs and desires, for the object of our loyalty. That object embodies a principle, an ideal, a cause, and it unites the one with the many.
Loyalty requires that we recognize a relationship to our fellow man. That relationship may entail a family tie or a voluntary association with others who pursue common goals or interests. It may be a shared destiny or an obligation for benefits derived. In any event, loyalty is rarely instinctive. It must be cultivated. Loyalty is reflected in private observance of the law as well as the more obvious public displays of heroism.
Examples of loyalty from history and literature:
- The Odyssey
- The Giving Tree
- "Naomi and Ruth" from the King James Bible
- Boy Scouts of America

Coined by God
The title is modelled on that of Coined by Shakespeare, an earlier work by the same authors, Stanley Malless and Jeffrey McQuain. But while the Bard may really have coined the words attributed to him, the English translations of the Bible are without doubt the work of Man.
The authors try to pre-empt possible criticism of the title in their introduction: "It is this seemingly unstoppable tradition of Biblical translation and interpretation that we are calling 'God' in our title". Whatever your faith, in knowing English you will have been deeply influenced by the language of translations of the Bible by men such as Wycliffe, Tyndall, and Coverdale.
The editors of the King James Bible started with a revised version of Coverdale's Great Bible of 1539, which itself was partly based on a translation by Tyndall. All the early translators wrote in the vernacular, in spite of great opposition from Church authorities, as they wanted the words of Scripture to be understood by ordinary people. They were writing at a time when English was going through great changes from what scholars call its "Middle" period to its "Modern" one, when printing and increased literacy were standardising it. Because the Bible was so widely read and heard, the style and vocabulary of the translators influenced generations of writers and influenced the way the language developed.
Quotations from the King James Bible are common even now, often without people realising they are referring to it. A quick count in the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations finds Shakespeare in front by a good margin (71 pages against 39) but in the three centuries following its completion the King James Bible became intimately familiar to many people who never heard Shakespeare.
After all this, Coined by God is a disappointment, mainly because it feels such a slight volume. There are only about 130 entries, a mixture of original words that first appear in one of the major translations with some of the phrases that are often still used as quotations.
Among the words are such everyday forms to us as blab, beautiful, civility, dishonour, excellent, female, horror, liberty, needlework, persuasion, plague, scapegoat, seashore, treasure, uproar and wordy. Among the phrases are all things to all men, am I my brother's keeper, the blind leading the blind (a slight misquotation), eat, drink and be merry, no man can serve two masters, you cannot live by bread alone, ivory tower, the quick and the dead, the love of money is the root of all evil, stranger in a strange land, and through a glass darkly.
The treatment is strictly alphabetical, with about a page of notes for each word or phrase. There are indexes of terms by editions of the Bible and by the book in which they appear, together with a bibliography and a short introduction.
[Malless, Stanley & McQuain, Jeffrey, Coined by God, hardback, pp221; ISBN 0-393-02045-2, published by Norton, New York, on 24 February 2003; publisher's recommended price US$23.95.]

New Orleans • Mo Williams wears a camouflage backpack with his name stitched on it. Standard issue.
His brother graduated from West Point and served more than six years in the Army. His father was an Army man.
"I have a soft spot in my heart for the Army," Williams said.
When the Jazz play at New Orleans on Friday, Williams and Al Jefferson will host more than 40 members of the Mississippi National Guard at New Orleans Arena.
The National Guard has been a sponsor of the camp Williams and Jefferson run each summer in Jackson, Miss., for more than a year, Williams said.
"It will be great for them," he said. "The biggest thing for them is to come in to see a professional game, get out of the grind and grit of their normal day and enjoy themselves."
They'll be watching a Jazz team that is coming off an impressive 113-94 win over Dallas in Wednesday's season an opener, and a New Orleans team that lost to San Antonio to start the season, boasts the No. 1 pick in June's draft and can't get its point guard on the floor.
Eric Gordon resigned with the Hornets in the offseason after the team matched the four year, $58 million offer sheet he signed with Phoenix. However, he has been sidelined with a sore right knee and become a polarizing figure in New Orleans due to his seeming lack of urgency to return.
Instead, the Hornets will start former Maryland star Greivis Vasquez at point guard, a young player Williams compared to former All-Star Sam Cassell.
The Jazz are playing their first game of a three-game swing through the South, which includes games on Saturday in San Antonio and Monday in Memphis. Friday's game is a homecoming, of sorts, not only for Jefferson and Williams, but also for Paul Millsap, who grew up in Monroe, La.
Asked if the National Guard members in the stands would be cheering for the Jazz, Williams said, "Absolutely. That was in the contract."

Utah Jazz postgame wrap — Favors wants a rep, Jazz get third wind, Jefferson thanks God
The Salt Lake Tribune
Published: January 4, 2012 12:00AM
Updated: January 4, 2012 12:04AM
Derrick Favors
' confidence isn't just growing on the court. It's building in the Jazz's locker room, too.
Favors used to quietly speak during interviews, and he was the shyest player on Utah's roster after joining the team last February.
His demeanor began changing during the NBA lockout while he worked out in Atlanta. He entered training camp saying he was open to starting if that's what coach Tyrone Corbin wanted. And Favors had a distinct gleam in his eye Tuesday, following a career-high five blocks in the
Jazz's 85-73 home win against Milwaukee
Favors on playing tough defense:
It means a lot. It helps you get that reputation — you're a shot-blocker or whatever. It's good for the team to have somebody like that.
Inspiring teammates with his energy:
The starters, they'll come out and sometimes they'll come out ready, sometimes they might need some energy. So coach comes to the bench and relies on us to bring that energy.
Learning to play defense without fouling:
Yeah, I think I'm learning. Just being in the right spot at the right time. Keeping my man from getting to the position where he can score and being active.
Playing with Enes Kanter:
It's fun. He can get the rebounds, I go out and do what I do and vice-versa. It's fun playing with him.
Utah entered the game tied for the NBA lead in average blocks (6.6) and the Jazz recorded a season-high 12 against the Bucks.
Despite the win, Utah's postgame locker room was fairly quiet. Players were recovering, getting treatment, hobbling out, etc. Which made Corbin's decision to practice Wednesday even more surprising.
The game was absolutely, unequivocally u-g-l-y ugly — proof the ghost of the 2011 NBA lockout still lives. Milwaukee was forbidden from scoring. Utah was exhausted by the third quarter. Jamaal Tinsley played more than Josh Howard. But the Jazz moved to 3-3, exceeding initial expectations and doing exactly what Corbin has requested: they stuck together and played tough.
"We caught a second wind — a third wind, I should say," Utah center
Al Jefferson
said. "We just kept fighting. We could've let this game slip away when they cut it to three or four. We knew that if we get stops we could run out, and that's what we did. C.J. [Miles] came up with some big steals and Earl [Watson] was very active. … We was playing like was six points behind instead of six points ahead."
Jefferson on Bucks center Andrew Bogut missing the game:
"Thank God. I hope everything good with whatever his personal reason was, but he's a great player, man … and I just looked at it, like, 'Thank God.' "
Jefferson, Corbin and Miles acknowledged Utah's .500 record feels better than it looks on paper. After three blowout road losses, the Jazz have pulled out three tough wins at home.
"If feel good," Jefferson said. "But at the same time, we don't have long to celebrate. … We've just got to continue to build off of it. And I think what we have continue to prove these three games we won is, it's defense. If you go back to that Philly game, what won it for us was hard defense. And we've just got to carry that to the road."
It feels better from the way we started the season — people are panicking and thinking it's going to be bad. And we've been able to pull together.
Devin Harris on the game:
It wasn't a pretty game on either end. A lot of turnovers. A lot of missed shots. It was kind of a grindout game. But I thought the bench came in and gave us a big lift and, obviously, we had our workhorse down there with Big Al.
His injury:
It's all right. It's not as serious as I thought. But we definitely wanted to get off it and not injure it further.
Howard on his injury:
I felt it tweak on that foul when I fouled Shaun Livingston. I planted and it felt like it knotted up. I came back in and got some treatment immediately. … I had a little bit of trouble [with it lately]. It's mostly just getting acclimated to playing ball again.
Watson played 23 minutes. Zero points on one shot, eight assists and three steals. Invaluable NBA backup point guard.
Alec Burks
is starting to make a dent at shooting guard. The No. 12 pick during 2011 tied for fourth on the Jazz in scoring (nine points) and attempted a game-high 10 free throws.
I'm aggressive at anytime. That's how I play. I attack. That's how I was brought up. You attack or get attacked. So that's how I play.
Kanter = The Magnet. Or Pac-Man. Twelve minutes and five rebounds. He still hasn't shown off his midrange shot. But all he's trying to do when he enters game is rebound and play defense and he's doing it.
Very little production again from
Raja Bell
(three points, four shots, 12 minutes), who's clearly in a tough spot right now.
Harris and Jefferson were clicking during the first half. Jefferson scored 19 points, while Harris dished out six assists.
Jeremy Evans
has become the low man on Corbin's rotational totem pole. Evans played just 1:04 despite the obvious exhaustion Utah dealt with.
The Jazz scored 23 points or less in all four quarters, just 40 in the second and third combined, and still won. Again: ugly game.
Utah and the Bucks shot a sparkling 5 of 34 beyond the arc.
Bucks forward
Stephen Jackson
temporarily looked for a fight but never found one.
Ersan Ilyasova
Carlos Delfino
Brandon Jennings
combined to shoot 11 of 52 from the floor.

While heaters are working overtime in the bone-chilling temperatures, technicians at Brandt's Heating and Air Conditioning say they are too.
Business at Brandt's in Iowa City has been heating up.
The down-right dangerous and bitter temperatures that chilled over most of eastern Iowa outside, are causing some heating problems inside.
"Comes with the territory nowadays with as cold as it is," said service manager T.J. Brandt. "We're not getting anymore than normal than you would expect in weather like this, but yes we are getting our fair share."
Brandt's received more than fifty calls of priority one, that means people with no heat. Those are on top of other calls related to heat maintenance.
Al Thomae is a maintenance worker at Washington Plaza, says they've responded to two calls of tenants not having heat.
"If it's more than we can handle, then we call our heating company," said Thomae. "It's a high priority especially during the day so we can get it done during normal working hours so people are comfortable through the evening."
He says the cold not only impacts people, he says pipes can freeze and that's a bigger problem.
The most common service call has been furnaces overheating, something Brandt says happens often.
He says Monday's calls are really not different than the one's he expects in July when the heat indices are sky high.
He says heaters are working overtime, that's why it's vitally important to keep the thermostat at a constant setting.


text: One of the most puzzling features of the current unstoppable wave of political punditry that is flooding all channels and outlets at the moment (including this one of course) is the peculiar propensity of commentators to feel qualified to extrapolate from the election results the Manifest Will of Britain. "The people have voted for change", "The people have told Gordon Brown that he has got to go" , "The people are saying that they don't really trust any one party", "The people have said that they want Parliament reformed, the tea room in the House of Commons redecorated, new carpeting in the women's lavatory of the House of Lords and a vegetarian option in the canteen." What fevered branch of electoral hermeneutics allows any such interpretations on the basis of the summing of millions of individual's single votes I cannot imagine. It is possible that people do want real change, but a single cross next to a single name is no way to deduce it.

Fort Bragg has announced that due to budget constraints, the
base has canceled this year's Fourth of July celebration.
Officials say the overtime pay associated
with the celebration, a total of $120,000, is unsupportable. Overtime pay
was needed for the civilian workforce said Fort Bragg spokesman Tom McCollum.
Fort Bragg is cutting their operational budget by 34 percent.
Officials say the annual event on the Main
Post Parade Field attracts more than 50,000 people from throughout southeastern
North Carolina, and has been held for more than 30 years.
Even donations won't help, because federal
rules don't allow money to be designated to civilian overtime. McCollum said
any donated money would go to the federal level, and it could not be designated
to the Independence Day celebration.
Bragg officials say they're also reviewing
other programs and services and have made some changes, like canceling weekend
controlled burns and mowing and landscaping contracts.
"We know that it is a very emotional
decision that we have had to make, especially for the people in this
region," McCollum said.
The news of the cancellation was a letdown
for many people Thursday. Hairstylist Sue Davis said they have attended the
celebration in past years and really enjoyed it.
"It's mainly family time. You could go out
there and play games, have picnics, have entertainment, and then stay around
for the fireworks," Davis said. "It's a shame that they're not going to have
fireworks for the people that fight for our country out at Fort Bragg to
celebrate our independence."
She and coworker Janina Douglas said it
seems as if the entire area shuts down for the festival, especially the
"Even Bragg Boulevard, even if you're not
in the service, that entire street has people parked on the side of the street
up and down just watching them," Douglas said.
Bragg is encouraging people to find other Fourth of July events, like the ones
in Aberdeen and Pinehurst.
said more cutbacks are likely to come. He said there has been an effort to make
cuts that would have the least impact on the local community, but that is
getting harder and harder to do.
are now sacred cows out there," McCollum said. "We will make the decisions
where it has to take place in order for us to fulfill our missions."
said the only spending areas that may be immune from cutbacks are those that
are directly necessary for the base to train, deploy and recover troops, and to
care for their families while they are deployed.
