Newton-Conover inducted three members into its athletic Hall of Fame less than a year ago, and now the school wants more. The high school is now accepting nominations for the Newton-Conover Hall of FameŌĆÖs 2011 class.
ŌĆ£We do this once a year, and we got it to where people can start nominating who they want,ŌĆØ said Shawn Sigmon, chairwoman of the Newton-Conover Hall of Fame. ŌĆ£The basic concept is recognizing those people who gave back to Newton-Conover through the athletic program. WeŌĆÖre hoping older people remember people in the ŌĆś50s and ŌĆś60s and will send in a form.ŌĆØ
Maiden ended the past two seasons with six wins and six losses. That changed this season along with the roles of running back Nate Johnson and quarterback Matt Johnson.
The Blue Devils, seeded sixth in the 2-A West, are 8-3 and play Friday at No. 3 Polk County (10-1). Their three losses this season came against Newton-Conover and South Iredell ŌĆö the top two teams in the Catawba Valley 2-A Athletic Conference ŌĆö and Lincolnton. The Wolves are the top seed in the 2-A West after finishing the season 11-0.
Seeing their starting quarterback and running back leave Sunday's game with injuries, the Carolina Panthers put up a pitiful performance that included one field goal and just 68 yards of passing offense.
All total, the Panthers managed just 195 total net yards, mostly on the ground, as the Saints posted a 34-3 victory at Bank of America Stadium.
"Pretty pathetic," said receiver Steve Smith, held without a catch until the final minute. "That would be the only thing I have to say. There are no explanations, no excuses."
Bunker Hill used a three-headed rushing attack to amass almost 600 years on the ground as the Bears defeated Bandys 49-20.
The victory marks the first for Bunker Hill over Bandys in nine straight games, and it solidifies the BearsŌĆÖ chances of a playoff berth when pairings are announced Saturday.
Newton-Conover rebounded from last weekŌĆÖs loss to South Iredell to end the regular season with a win. The Red Devils earned a 35-25 road victory Friday over West Caldwell and finished second in the Catawba Valley 2-A.
The Red Devils went 10-1 in the regular season ŌĆö┬Ā6-1 in conference play, and they find out Saturday if they are in the 2-A or 2-AA playoffs as well as who they play in the first round.
For the second straight week, Nate Johnson solidified his spot as the Blue DevilsŌĆÖ starting running back.
Johnson led Maiden in rushing for the second-straight game and made the game-changing play in the second half at home against Draughn.
One play after Draughn cut MaidenŌĆÖs lead to 21-14, Johnson ran left on a sweep. He ran out of room, escaped tackles, reversed field and ran 73 yards up the right side for his third touchdown of the game.
The Blue Devils led 27-14 after the play and won their final game of the regular season 33-14 over the Wildcats.
The Catawba Valley Buccaneers went swashbuckling through another regular season. Head coach Shannon Hudson and the Buccaneers started the season with a 3-0 loss at the beginning of the season to Cape Fear Community College, but they rallied and won 10 of their next 11 matches en route to a 19-5 overall record.
CVCC ended the season 12-2 in conference play and earned the top seed from the West at this weekend's Carolinas-Virginia Conference volleyball tournament at Rockingham Community College in Wentworth.
Alfredo Dominguez has only one more race to run this season — the state meet. And the junior cross country runner from Newton-Conover wants to finish well despite some pre-race jitters.
"I'm just nervous about it, but I'm actually ready for it," Dominguez said. "This means a lot. I can't go in there and mess around. I'm going to try my best, and hopefully everything will pay off."
Three womenŌĆÖs basketball teams representing the Greater Hickory Metro competed in the state Senior Games during the weekend. They played a combined 11 games Friday and Saturday at East Carolina UniversityŌĆÖs student activity center, and they combined for zero wins.
The team wants that to change next year.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre hoping some time in the future, whether it is next year or the next year, ultimately we want to win a game,ŌĆØ said Jesse McCarther, head coach of the three teams from the Unifour Red Foxes.
Newton-Conover started the season with a loss to third-ranked Shelby. That loss turned into seven straight losses and eventually into losing its first 11 of 14. But that losing turned into winning late in the 2010 season and eventually led to a playoff berth in the 2-A West.
The Red Devils finished fifth in the Catawba Valley 2-A Athletic Conference with a 7-6-1 conference record, and they captured the conferenceŌĆÖs last playoff spot.

I reread The Spark last week and it kind of helped to set me straight. After reading the book and looking over the goals I had initially set and then writing in my journal, I realized something. I was doing this entirely wrong. I thought I was following the advice of SparkPeople and doing everything right and for the right reasons, but I really wasn't.
For example, it is made clear that you need to start small, but I thought I was an exception to that rule for some reason. I thought, "10 minutes of exercise is below me, I can start at 30 and move even farther up." But just like SparkGuy's brother who did the same thing as I did, I fell into the trap of thinking that when it comes to exercise, it's all or nothing. I would think: 10 minutes is nowhere near as good as 30 minutes or an hour, so when life gets crazy and busy, I give it up all together. When in reality, something is always better than nothing.
In addition to this wrong mindset about fitness, I was also working towards superficial goals. I have it written down that I wanted to lose weight to feel better about getting dressed everyday and looking in the mirror, to look better in pictures, to not worry what I look like while I'm sitting down, to be able to share clothes with my friends, to be able to shop at "skinny" stores, to feel more comfortable in jeans, to be able to wear bikinis, and to have fewer stomach aches. The only substantial goal on that list I think is about reducing my stomach aches, and that's not even about who I am or what I want in life. Later on in my journal I began to talk about how I want to travel after I graduate and be a respected leader. I don't know why I didn't put that at the top of the list or why that wasn't made my primary motivation, because that is what I want. After going to school for the past 3 1/2 years, I've finally slowly figured out that I want to be a social worker. There is something very specific I want to do after I graduate in May: I want to participate in the Peace Corps' Masters International program where you go to grad school and do your time abroad at the same time. I'm applying to the University of Maryland School of Social Work, so I would do a year there, do my 2 years of Peace Corps, and then come back for another year of school, and I would get my MSW. The biggest roadblock to living abroad for 2 years, however, is my depression and my health. I have to learn to deal with my depression, preferably without pills so that I can live independently in an unfamiliar place and an uncomfortable circumstance. I have to be fit and at a healthy weight so that my body can be resilient to the different bacteria and diseases it will be exposed to. I think having this goal in mind will really help me to stay on track and really make this a lifestyle change.
I guess I didn't really know what "lifestyle change" meant exactly. It really means changing your relationship with food and looking at food differently. I just bought the SparkPeople Cookbook, and I recommend that for anyone with emotional eating issues. It's not about avoiding things at all costs and eating bland food. Food can taste good and be healthy and help you lose weight too. I wrote in my last blog that: "When I look back on the changes I made in my life, I kind of dread going back to it." That's because I was eating the same things everyday and was craving new and exciting foods. And you can have them, which is what will be different this time. I really want to thank Chef Meg for taking the time to not just throw a bunch of recipes together in a book, but also writing those first few chapters explaining why you can make this change and why you should do it and why you should want to do it. And she doesn't leave you in the dark about how to cook, which is something I am struggling with. But the book is so easy to use and perfectly laid out. I'm really glad I bought it.
I know I can do this. I know I am a strong person. Now that I know what I want and I am working towards something that is the reason for my existence, I will be able to stay on track. It was just not a concept that I grasped before. I was so oblivious; I even thought I was doing it right and for the right reasons. But I'm glad that stage happened, because I learned so much. If I knew what I wanted right from the start, I don't think I would have learned all I have learned about myself. I am a stronger, more competent person for it. I thank God for this opportunity not to start over, but to continue to pursue my journey to a healthier, better me.
I haven't been doing very well and am in desperate need of some support. Ever since my sister came to visit this summer, it seems like all of the wonderful habits I have developed over all this time have just been flushed down the toilet. I'm back at school now and I'm not exercising at all and I'm eating the crappiest foods ever - sweet tea, fast food, fried foods...and I got a job at an Asian restaurant and I keep loading up on the fried rice even though the brown rice is sitting right there and snacking on egg rolls and filling up on sushi. It's ridiculous. I have gained over 10 pounds back and I don't want to be that person. I get so many compliments from people still about how I look so great. I don't want to be the one that just gains it all back. And I'm having this realization at the worst possible time - holiday season. I suck at the holidays in terms of food because I am the most festive person ever and I love baking. And I don't like eating in moderation. UGH. Maybe I did this whole thing wrong. Because when I look back on the changes I made in my life, I kind of dread going back to it.
I need help. I don't want to gain the weight back. I really really don't.
Hey everyone! I got back from Costa Rica Saturday night and boy, has it been a rush. I am going to miss it and my host family so much, and it has been really sad. But being home has felt pretty good too.
While I was there, I made an effort to not over eat, but I didn't have many options as to what I ate because my host family made my meals for me. So I tried to focus on portion control but that didn't really work out all the time. So I tried to keep myself moving, which wasn't difficult. It was a 30 minute walk to and from school every day, which was perfect to burn some calories. Also, whenever we went on trips, they were usually pretty athletic and had things like hiking, swimming, white water rafting, etc. So I gained a grand total of 6 pounds. Not too bad at all.
But now I am ready to get back into things and into real life. In the past couple of days, it hasn't even felt like I have gone anywhere at all, and I think it's because of how naturally I am fitting right back into my old life. I have gone crazy these past few days with food because I have been on major withdrawal, but it's not the "last supper" mentality. I know I will be able to have these foods again at some point. Just not all the time. And that's perfect.
If anyone has any tips for getting back into the routine, please fill me in!
I just can't believe I was able to pull this off. When I reflect on all that I have accomplished, it makes me want to cry. All that hard work really paid off. I pushed through plateaus, didn't give up after falling off track, and remained consistent with my eating and exercising habits. I can run 3 miles in less than 30 minutes. I can actually see the muscles in my calves. I don't get winded when walking up and down stairs. I can keep up with my fast walker friends. I was able to be very active with the athletes at Special Olympics. I have much more energy to get through the day than I used to. My flexibility and balance is making life easier in general.
I think the biggest thing though that makes me feel truly accomplished is the recognition I get from other people, and not just the compliments about how much weight I've lost. I have friends coming up to me and asking me to help them get into an exercise routine because they can't seem to keep up with one. They're asking me to help them get more fit. I never thought I'd be such an inspiration to people in this way.
Most of all, I thank God everyday for giving me the strength to be able to do this, and for blessing me with SparkPeople. It has really changed my life. He has also blessed me with an amazing family to live with in Costa Rica. I just found out from a girl that lived with the same family last spring that I'm going to be living with this spring that the mom is VERY active. She gets up early in the morning to go to the gym or the swimming pool. In the afternoons, she'll take me to exercise classes taught by her friend. She will also make pretty healthy meals. Every time I think about it now, I get all the more excited and more grateful to God for blessing me with all that I have.
Just 20 more pounds to go! I can do this!!!
So I went a little longer with the second week than just a week, but I think it's fine. I have taken some significant steps to developing healthier habits. I was already doing a good job with me exercise, but in the past week and a half I've really started making some serious strides to healthier eating and incorporating more fruits and vegetables.
Continue with SparkTime:
This is one of my favorite things to do everyday. Every morning either during or after breakfast, I get on SparkPeople and get my log in points, do some trivia questions, read my emails, read some articles, track my food, review my goals, and read some motivational and inspirational stories. It's so great to have that time to myself everyday.
Review Your Goals:
I have my vision collage hanging up and look at it everyday. I absolutely LOVE having it there. It really does help, especially in these past couple of days when I've been feeling kind of down. I do need to start looking at my written goals everyday though. I don't really do it now but when I do do it, it really helps me. So why not do it everyday? I love visualizing myself in a bikini and running a marathon and hanging out with my friends being super confident and not worrying about how I look.
Incorporate a Motivational Technique:
I think I already sort of give myself pep talks, because I've really started to embrace what Chris said in the book: "You can change who you are by changing what you say to yourself." I think I'm just going to try to be more conscious about it this week. I'm also going to watch at least one motivational movie this week. And I really liked what I read one member did for rewards - she gave a few of her friends $5 each and told them to go buy something for her and wrap it up. She put all the presents in a bag and when she reached a goal, she would reach in and pick one. Sounds like a fantastic idea! You get a surprise each time!
Draw Support from Positive People:
I hate asking for help. But I've gotten better at it through this journey and since coming to college. My favorite support group I have right now is my group exercise buddy. It's so great to be able to text five different people saying, "Kickboxing today at 6:00! Be there!" and especially do get a text saying "YOGA AT 5! NO EXCUSES!" For motivation with this lifestyle change in general, I always turn to my sparkfriends. It's so great to be able to post that you need support and you get a flood of comments and messages and goodies. It makes me feel so great.
Learn How to Overcome Hurdles:
It's interesting that I'm writing about this today because I just overcame a huge hurdle today. I've been on a plateau for about 2 months. Stuck fluctuating between 167 and 172. But I consistently stuck with it. I stayed within my nutrition goals, kept up my fitness, and focused on other things besides the scale. I'm not saying it wasn't discouraging, but I stayed strong. And today, I stepped on the scale and it read a number I've never seen before: 164.5. I nearly cried. It felt so great to see it go down after such a long period of time of it staying the same. I'm so incredibly proud of myself. Time for a reward!

I've always loved french knots but I continue to experiment with big fat french knots bunched closely together to make textured retro-mod looking flowers and I love it. I use the full six strands of embroidery thread and wrap three times somewhat loosely. Check out some of my flowers and techniques below and stay tuned for a crafty tutorial using Big Fat French Knot Flowers.
And my first attempt at stop motion filming (I promise I'll get better, sound by kiddo).

Good Questions: Where To Find Plastic Coated (But Stiff) Placemats?
Okay, here's the challenge, because my mom and I have both been searching for forever: she loves placemats for the old wood dining table, but not just any placemat. We're looking for ones that are stiff (but not heavy wood) and plastic-coated so you can easily wipe them down between meals. Crate & Barrel will occasionally have some for summer, but she wants them for year-round use (without them being a cheesy 90s-era flower pattern). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Here are our top eight placemats. They all guarantee to be wipeable between meals and we're almost positive they're all stiff (but not heavy). Some websites gave very good descriptions and some--not so much.
- Crate & Barrel; Romani Placemat
- Modern Twist; Damask Filled Steel Blue on Clear
- Bed Bath & Beyond; Tetra Ellipse Placemat
- Plushpod; Foam Veneer Placemat
- Bed Bath & Beyond; Bamboo Square Placemat
- Dillard's; Wilton Court "Batu Lacquer" Wooden Placemat
- Placemats.com; Lady Clare Brown Leather placemats
- Crate & Barrel; Capiz Shell Placemat

Chilewich! We got a set for our wedding and they are wonderful.
ikea, i have them in red.
target has them listed as chargers but they are the same - http://www.target.com/Square-Mosaic-Chargers-Set-Silvertone/dp/B001CRNMVE/sr=1-16/qid=1247187079/ref=sr_1_16/187-2160744-9877850?ie=UTF8&search-alias=tgt-index&frombrowse=0&index=target&rh=k%3Acharger&page=1
Not sure if these are what you had in mind, but these are the ones we have and when you eat with a toddler, easy (or at least easier) clean up is wonderful.
I'm looking for the same thing and have been eyeing these for a while: http://www.cb2.com/family.aspx?c=238&f=4387
Not sure if it's your style but they look great in person, eco friendly, could be a conversation starter...
My nana has a collection of the cork back rectangular ones, which I always find super practical. Orla Kiely's target line had some, as did Mackenzie-Childs, Williams Sonoma, spode blue,
Personally I kind of love these, "fox" hunting.
Madison Ave actually has quite a few different hard styles including plainish, but not really modern.
Home Goods often has a bunch of placemats that might work for you.

Would return because it is a good locale, very pricey parking

The location of the the hotel was superb and well suited to the purpose of our stay. The staff were extremely helpful regarding pointing out restaurants and giving us directions for the subway and other things which we needed to know about. The consierge was extrremely helpful when it came to a parcel which I was supposed to have sent to the hotel, as there was a mix-up of parcels and I received the wrong one, the concierge solved the problem with a smile on his face, and I got my parcel. Thank you, we will definately pick this hotel if every in NYC again. ...

Plot Summary: "I Am," a prismatic and probing exploration of our world, what's wrong with it, and what we can do to make it better, represents Tom Shadyac's first foray into non-fiction following a career as one of Hollywood's leading comedy practitioners, with such successful titles as "Ace Ventura," "Liar Liar," and "Bruce Almighty" to his credit. "I Am" recounts what happened to the filmmaker after a cycling accident left him incapacitated, possibly for good. Though he ultimately recovered, he emerged a changed man. Disillusioned with life on the A-list, he sold his house, moved to a mobile home community, and decided to start life anew.
Armed with nothing but his innate curiosity and a camera crew, Shadyac embarks upon a journey to discover how he as an individual, and we as a race, can improve the way we live. Appearing on-screen as character, commentator, guide, and even, at times, guinea pig, Shadyac meets with a variety of thinkers and doers--remarkable men and women from the worlds of science, philosophy, and faith--including such luminaries as David Suzuki, Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Lynne McTaggart, Ray Anderson, John Francis, Coleman Barks, and Marc Ian Barasch. An irrepressible Everyman who asks many questions but offers no easy answers, he takes the audience to places it has never been before, and presents even familiar phenomena in completely new and different ways.

Blueberry Crumb Pie with Warm Blueberry Sauce from Carole Walter
The 4th of July approaches. Dessert is needed. There is nothing more American than blueberry pie on the 4th of July. For this treat, which we tested last weekend, Suzen turned to Great Pies and Tarts by Carole Walter. Carole is a friend, a wonderful author, and truly an American treasure. If you have not encountered one of her recipes before, then here is the place to start.
Now, about Carole. She is charming and lovely. And detailed. And very detailed. Don't let this recipe frighten you. There are a lot of steps and your hand is being held every micro-step along the way. That's Carole being a perfectionist. What's going to happen when you follow these instructions? You'll have the best fruit pie of your life.
This recipe calls for 6-7 cups of blueberries. Suzi actually made an 80-20 mixture of blueberries and perfectly ripe plums. Suzen beamed at the results, which she pronounced to be "pie perfect."
Carole would be proud.
Oh, several of the steps here call for using aluminum foil. In fact, this recipe has more aluminum in it than any I have ever seen. Don't worry. You're not eating the foil and it can be recycled. It's very necessary and very important to use the foil as directed to protect the pie and your oven.
Blueberry Crumb Pie with Warm Blueberry Sauce
Yield: serves 6 to 8
- Your favorite Flaky Pie Pastry [Carol has two on pages 98 and 100 of Great Pies and Tarts, which is another good reason to buy her book!]
- 1 large egg white
- 1 teaspoon water
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup water
- 6-7 cups blueberries, washed and dried
- 1 tablespoon instant tapioca
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 ½ to 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 6 limes
Streusel Crumb Topping:
- 1 cup unsifted all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup finely chopped walnuts
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup lightly packed light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled to tepid
Warm Blueberry Sauce:
- Reserved syrup from filling
- ½ cup water
- 1 to 2 tablespoons crème de cassis or Kirschwater
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
The Crust:
Preheat the oven to 400⁰ F. Position the oven rack in the lower third of the oven. Butter a 9-inch ovenproof glass pie plate.
On a floured pastry cloth, roll the pastry into a circle measuring approximately 13 inches in diameter. Fit loosely into the pie plate. Trip the edge with scissors, leaving 1-inch overhand. Fold over and flute or crimp the edge. In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg white and water. Brush the dough with a thin layer of egg white to seal the surface.
The Filling:
Whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a large skillet. Stir in the water. Add the blueberries and stir gently. Bring to a slow boil, then cook over low heat, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula, for about 5 minutes, or just until the mixture thickens. Avoid mashing the blueberries. Be careful not to overcook them.
Using a slotted spoon, empty the blueberries into a large shallow container about 1/3 at a time, sprinkling each layer with tapioca. Let stand for 15 minutes to soften the tapioca. Reserve the syrup for the blueberry sauce. Empty the filling into the pie plate. Dot with lemon and sprinkling with lemon juice.
The Streusel Crumb Topping:
Combine the flour, walnuts, sugars, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Add to the cooled melted butter and toss with a fork to make crumbs. Take a clump of the crumb mixture in your hand and squeeze gently to form a larger clump. Then break the large clump apart over the blueberry filling. Repeat using all of the crumbs. Do not press the crumbs into the filling.
To prevent the edges from burning, make aluminum foil bands. Cut two 3-inch-wide strips of 18-inch heavy-duty aluminum foil. Fold 1 inch of each strip to the center, making a double thickness of foil. Mold the foil around edge of the pie, keeping the double fold on top of the dough. Be careful not to crush the edge of pasty. Secure the bands with tape.
Make an aluminum foil drop pan to place on the rack below the pie halfway through the baking. Cut an 18-inch square of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Fold each edge twice [about 1 inch per fold] standing the folding edge upright to form a 4-sided pan.
To prevent the crumbs from overbrowning, cove the pie loosely with a sheet of aluminum foil.
Bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil bands the foil form the top and continue baking for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the bottom crust and crumbs are golden brown. Cool on a rack for 4 hours before cutting. Serve with vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt and Warm Blueberry Sauce
Warm Blueberry Sauce:
Place the reserved blueberry syrup and water in a medium, heavy saucepan. Bring to a slow boil, stirring constantly. Off the heat, stir in the cassis, then return to the boil, and cook for 30 seconds longer. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more water. Stir in the lemon juice and empty into a container. This sauce can be made ahead and reheated as needed.

Edible Food Styling: Perfect Blueberries
I love blueberries. They are not sweet enough but that can be remedied. And, as a side benefit, they can be made to look oh so beautiful. And, as a side side benefit, you can make double use of the flavors.
There is one issue with blueberries that can cause pause. It's how they look. See that pie above, and those sparkling blueberries? Well, they don't come out of the box like that. The raw blueberry can have a flat dry look that is a bit unappealing. You want them to twinkle. And you may want them sweeter, too.
How to do that? Soak them in a sugar syrup! For a pint of berries, put one cup of sugar and one half cup of water in a saucepan. On low heat, stir to dissolve the sugar, then raise the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat, and let the syrup cool slightly. You want it very warm, but not uncomfortable to your finger.
Now, add the berries, and stir them to ensure they are all covered. Let sit for an hour. Then remove the berries with a slotted spoon, allowing the syrup to drain back into the saucepan. You want to save that syrup!
Put the berries on a piece of parchment paper or foil, and allow the syrup to set up. Depending on humidity and temperature, that can take a bit of time. Alternatively, you can put the berries into the freezer, than remove them when ready to use. That's how those berries sitting on mint leaves were treated in the other picture.
And they syrup? Well, you now have berry flavored syrup. Find your blender. Add one banana, a pint of blackberries, a healthy dose of your blueberry syrup, and a handful of ice. Blend until smooth. Drink, enjoy and consider how to use your new sparkling blueberries.

|Make: Contender Boats
|Model: 28 Tournament
|Year: 2014
|Length: 28 ft. 0 in.
|Location: Fort Lauderdale, FL
|Type: Center Console Boats
|Price: Call for price
|Listing: 1390156
The 28 Tournament is one of Contender's most popular models. Her superior ride is due to increased running surface of the integrated transom which is more structurally sound because it's part of the hull and not a separate bolt-on bracket.
Standard features include a self-bailing cockpit, one piece flush deck, raised livewell, large center console for extensive electronics and 180 gallon fuel capacity combined with an efficient hull and engine package for those long offshore runs. This is a true hardworking tournament winner with a long, proud and proven legacy.
When equipped with Twin 250HP Yamahas a 58+ mph top end is acheived, while also providing cruise speeds of 36 mph, burning under 18 GPH.

Did you have a teacher that inspired you, opened doors in front of you and put a fingerprint on your life the way it is now?
There are some of us lucky enough to have had a teacher that stepped in the classroom telling a poem for hello. Giving away hints, opening roads to explore, replacing the thousand words with a scheme, making his house a non-stop walk-in walk-out of students that took away a piece of math problem, a poem, a piece of politics lost in the discussion, something for the mind to chew on without being aware. I honour his memory and speak with friends from those times about him bringing us together, a riverbank for the small rivers to flow.

Just printed a recipe…and what I got was 11 pages of recipe, including 58 comments. Why?! Searched for a "printer friendly option" and didn't find one. Doubt I'll be visiting this website again, no matter how good a recipe might be. Just can't see any purpose in wasting all that paper and ink…and at my expense for a free recipe. Such a waste.

With Help from Congress, Bizav Wins Barr Battle
President Obama signed a $12.5 billion transportation, housing and urban development appropriations bill on Friday containing language that reinstated the Block Aircraft Registration Request (Barr) through at least Fiscal Year 2012 (Sept. 30, 2012). The language, included in the funding bill for the DOT (the FAA's parent department) and other agencies, states: "None of the funds made available…may be used to implement or to continue to implement any limitation on the ability of any owner or operator of a private aircraft to obtain, upon a request to the Administrator of the [FAA], a blocking of that owner's or operator's aircraft registration number from any display of the [FAA's] Aircraft Situational Display to Industry data." Inquiries to the FAA about Barr reinstatement were referred to the DOT. At press time, the DOT had yet to respond to AIN's inquiries into how and when the agency will restore the Barr program, though an agency spokesman did say it is "reviewing" the legislation. Also yet unknown is how the bill's passage will affect the lawsuit that NBAA and AOPA filed against the DOT over the dismantling of Barr in August. Both NBAA and AOPA said that, as of this afternoon, court hearings in that case are scheduled to start as planned next Friday (December 2).

$139 a barrel
It is the largest single day rise ever recorded for crude prices; I think they said it is an $11 dollar rise in one day.
Some analysts are predicting that we hit $150 by July.
I flew back here from Pennsylvania on Sunday and in the next four days, gas prices at the closest station to me went from $4.17 to $4.27 to $4.37 to $4.47 for 87 octane, rising by exactly 10 cents every single day. It was the most insane thing I've ever seen. I'm afraid to go look today.
If it keeps going on up like that then it will $200 by the end of this year.
I wasn't around in the '70s when people had to ration gas, but for folks that remember that time, is the current trend going to lead to a same event?
This doesn't look very good guys. One question: what causes all these rises? I'm pretty much a noob on this but I'd like to know.
Right now the price of gas is driven partly by a limited refining capacity. The price of crude is driven in part by the weak dollar. In the 70's we experienced severe supply shortages. So at this point it seems to be a different situation. But increasing demand from India, and in particular from China, is also a significant factor.
Noteworthy: For about 15 years the price of crude hovered around $20 a barrel. It hit a low of $10 a barrel just before Bush began his run for office in 2000. It has pretty much skyrocketed ever since. Since Bush showed up on the scene, the average price of crude has risen by about 600%
Bush should make a trip to Millinocket, ME. I'm sure that there are lots of folks there that would love to "thank" him in person.
Thank you for the explanation, Ivan. Do you think a new administration will be able to lower the price of oil or is that near to impossible?
I really don't know what to think. IMO, there is an argument to be made that supplies are manipulated. And the Bushes are best buddies and business partners with the Saudi Royal family [and the Bin Ladens].
I do think that this is how we fix it.
I'm really not sure how the price is determined either. But I do wish we had starting waning our oil usage a long time ago.
Note that recently when Bush went to Saudi to ask for an increase in supply, the response was that their customers all have oil that they need, so there is no reason to increase the supply. Bush said that he was happy with their response.
The last time I checked, it is an excess supply that drives down the price, not just that all supply needs are met. So the answer was meaningless, which likely explains why Bush was satisified.
Guys not too familiar with Peak Oil are ya?
I've read up on Peak Oil. But I never know how credible things like that are. I tend to believe it, but I couldn't prove it or say I was 100% sure of its credibility.
We are approaching peak oil, but no one knows precisely where the line may lie. For now, we are pumping more crude than ever before, so peak oil is not the issue.
What's really too bad is that we haven't managed to bring a SINGLE nuclear power reactor online in 40 years! Thanks libs!
Well, you might guess by my screenname the method of power generation that I support. I really believe a commercial reactor could have been running by now if people were aware enough of the progress of the technology, and if they cared enough about its benefits. It just doesn't get the funding it deserves... not even close

Barnes & Noble's Big Bet Isn't Paying Off
Reuben is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Barnes & Noble (NYSE: BKS) appears to be accepting the fact that it's just a book store. That's an expensive pill to swallow and makes its future a lot more complicated.
Especially since Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Pearson Plc, and Liberty Media Corp. all own a piece of the company.
A Good Idea
Barnes & Noble faced a technological moment of truth when Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) destroyed the retail book store model and shifted it to digital delivery. Barnes & Noble was one of the few major chains left standing and had to make a choice between being just a book store or fighting Amazon again in digital books.
The company launched the Nook e-reader to compete with Amazon's Kindle. From the start, Kindle was the leader. Although the Nook has received solid reviews, it simply never caught on. Amazon, meanwhile, has been able to build the Kindle line into a serious competitor to tablet computers. That has given the company a place at the table with companies like Apple and Samsung.
Amazon's top line has gone from around $5 billion a decade ago to over $60 billion last year. However, competition has required massive investment, leading profit margins to fall from the mid single digits to the low single digits. The Kindle is just one of many costly projects. Despite losing money last year, Amazon shares are trading near all-time highs and are only appropriate for aggressive growth investors.
Barnes & Noble, meanwhile, isn't as big and technologically savvy as Amazon, and it's finally admitting it. Based on bad sales results in the just ended quarter, Barnes & Noble announced it was stopping production of color Nooks.
The problem that Barnes & Noble faces now isn't so much what comes next, but what came before. For example, Liberty Media has a 17% stake in the book retailer. And, to make matters more complicated, after the Liberty investment the company broke itself into two groups and took on a second round of investments for just the Nook business. The Nook business is partnered with Microsoft, which took a 16.6% stake in that unit, and Pearson PLC, which has a 5% stake.
Money to Burn
Microsoft's investment, which requires the company to keep giving Nook money for a few more years, now looks like a mistake. While there were rumors that Microsoft was going to try to buy Nook, that didn't pan out and shutting production of the color Nook seems to suggest that it never will. Luckily for Microsoft, the $300 million investment is small change compared to the over $60 billion in cash and investments it had, net of debt, at the end of the March quarter.
While this deal hasn't played out very well, a similar high-risk investment in Nokia has been a bigger success. Nokia's Lumia smart phone has been a great showcase for Windows Mobile. Although the Nook never offered that much promise, this type of low cost/high return investment is a good plan for a cash rich tech giant fighting to regain its industry leading position.
With a yield of around of 2.7%, a top line that's been heading higher since the recession, and a collection of new products and software either in the market (Windows Mobile, Windows 8, the Surface tablet) or soon to be launched (Xbox), Microsoft shares looks like a good option for growth and income investors. Its price to earnings ratio in the high teens is reasonable for a company of Microsoft's scale and potential.
Just a Bookstore
Barnes & Noble, meanwhile, is looking more and more like just a book store. That's not a bad thing, however, since the book store business has been supporting the Nook business. In fact, Leonard Riggio, the company's founder, has been talking about buying the physical book stores for some time, taking them private.
The shares have dropped sharply over the last few weeks, first on weak Nook sales and now because of the decision to shutter the color Nook. Trading in the mid-teens and posting sizable losses in each of the last two years, this is looking more and more like a high-stakes bet on the company's book store business.
That said, Investors should avoid the shares until the company works through its seemingly failed Nook bet. The sizable investments from other companies complicates any corporate actions that might be taken to boost shareholder value. That includes the potential of Riggio buying the bookstores, which could leave the public owning just the money losing Nook business.

Blond is considered a very rare color and it is a natural shade of hair. Only about 2% of the world's population is known to have blonde hair and is seen mostly in northern Europe and Scandinavian countries. Blonde is considered a vivacious shade of hair and is very lively to look at. It appeals to many people across the world. Blonde is not only a natural color but can also be shaded with the right hair color. Although long blonde hair is considered beautiful, many short blonde hairstyles are also popular across natural blondes as well as colored hair blondes.Read More

There are many ways to change your appearance. Of course you can change you style of dressing or lose weight which will certainly change your face but these will either take time or money and will probably take a while for the change to be noted. Another option is to change your hairstyles. If you have long flowing hair streaming down your back you can go into a beauty shop and get it cut into a very short pixie cut. This will emphasize your facial features. Of course if you have a short cut already it is impossible to instantly get long flowing hair but you can use hair extensions to do this.

Cantata Singers Anniversary Season Wrap-up
The Cantata Singers 2013-2014 Anniversary Season Celebrating Five Decades of Choral Music in the Southern Tier
Our 50th anniversary performance season began with an amazing start with "The Festival of the Inn" featuring La Fiesta de la Posada by Dave Brubeck. With help from the Dan Paul trio and the Youth and Children's choirs of the Church of St. Mary Our Mother, the church was rockin'! A large and very appreciative audience braved our first big snow of the winter to help us launch our anniversary season.
The season continued on Saturday, March 1, at 7:30 pm with a wonderful performance before a large and very appreciative audience! The highlights of the Cantata Singers Celebration: Fifty Years of Concerts and Commissions concert were most certainly the first and most recent new music commissions. Warren Benson's Score of Praises received excellent reviews from singers and audience members alike and Will Wickham and Martha Horton's collaboration on Each Song is a Journey, dedicated to former singer Lou Sand, was a huge hit! A standing ovation brought the singers back for an encore of Franz Biebl's Ave Maria which is becoming a standard feature in the Cantata Singers repertoire!
Our season concluded wonderfully on Sunday, June 1st with a performance of the incomparable Mass in B minor by JS Bach accompanied by full orchestra. A large and very appreciative audience was moved to a standing ovation even as the final echoes of the Dona nobis pacem were fading. A truly excellent experience for all involved. What a great way to celebrate a 50th anniversary!

Its low density suggests a composition that is primarily water ice. Mimas is heavily cratered, although the cratering is not uniform. While most of the surface is covered with craters up to and exceeding 40 km (25 miles) in diameter, in the southern polar region craters larger than 20 km (12 miles) are generally absent. Preeminent is the crater Herschel which, at 130 km (80 miles) across, spans more than one third the diameter of the whole moon, and has a central peak that rises 6 km (4 miles) above the crater floor. Had the impact that caused it been much bigger, it may have split Mimas apart. As it is, traces of fracture marks are evident on the opposite hemisphere. Most of the other craters on Mimas are named after characters in Camelot.

UPDATE 7/26/13 @ 12:43 a.m.
CEDAR GROVE, W. Va. (WSAZ) -- Route 60 is open to traffic after being shutdown most of the day because of a rock slide.
It happened just after 10 a.m. but now all lanes of Route 60 have re-opened.
For most folks, scenes like that slide are kind of shocking. But not for Lawrence Coleman.
"We're kinda used to it," Coleman said.
After weeks of rainy weather, the rocks hanging onto the hill over route 60 near Cedar Grove finally slid off the hill Thursday morning… blocking traffic and shutting down the road. Lawrence says it happens all the time.
"It's constant," Coleman said. "Every time it rains during this time of year, usually some rocks slide over. And winter time when it freezes and thaws, it comes over."
It's not just Cedar Grove that's dealing with a mess like this. On Route 10 between Logan and Man, a mud and rock slide has shut down the road for weeks, if not months. Just today, the department of highways had another slide in Marshall County in the northern panhandle.
"It's just one instance of what it's like to live in West Virginia," Brent Walker with the Department of Highways said. "No surprise. We have slips and slides all over the state."
The DOH says much of the problem is the rainy weather we've had all summer. With most parts of the state getting rain 19 of the last 21 days, slips are bound to happen. But, highway officials say drivers don't need to worry.
"The roads are safe," Walker said. "I mean, when you live in West Virginia and you cut roads out of hillsides, you know, that's what you have. You're going to have some debris."
Lawrence says, Thursday's slide isn't even the worst he's seen.
"There was a rock come of off there that'd make this one there look small."
He's just glad to see it cleaned up.
The slide was reported just after 10 a.m. Thursday near Go-Mart.
Crews with the Division of Highways are on scene now breaking up the large rocks and removing them from the road.
Crews say this afternoon they had to quickly clear a portion of the road to get an ambulance through that was transporting a heart attack patient.
The road slide did damage the westbound lane.
Route 60 remains closed. Traffic is being turned around in both directions.
Right now, crews estimate that the road will be closed until at least 6 p.m. tonight.
Keep clicking on WSAZ.com for the latest information.
The slide was reported just after 10 a.m. Thursday near the Go-Mart.
Crews with the Division of Highways are checking to see if more rocks further up the hill are unstable before they start clearing the road.
Traffic is being turned around in both directions.
The road will be closed until at least 6 p.m. Thursday.
We have a crew headed to the scene. Keep clicking on WSAZ.com for the latest information.
The slide happened just after 10 a.m. Thursday.
Dispatchers say the road is blocked at the Go-Mart gas station.
There is no word on how long the road will be closed.

Recipe Review: Palak Paneer from the Boston Globe
If you're looking for an excuse to try making some home-made paneer (or using up more summer greens, for that matter!), look no further than palak paneer!
When the Boston Globe ran a recipe last week for this classic Indian dish of steamed spinach, cubed of paneer, and smoky spices, we knew we'd have to try it! Click through for our full review...
The palak couldn't have been easier to make. Steam the spinach, saute an onion, add spices and some heavy cream, and dinner was ready in half an hour!
If you have any spinach-resistant eaters in the house, this is a good recipe to convince them to think otherwise. The sauce had all of the earthiness of spinach without any bitterness. We also liked how the sweet smoky flavor of the spices blended with the savory flavor of the spinach.
While it wasn't as creamy as we'd been expecting, finely chopping the steamed spinach gave the sauce an unexpected silkiness that we really enjoyed. The mild paneer made an excellent taste and texture contrast to the robust sauce.
We served our palak over rice, but it was almost hearty enough to eat on its own!
A few recipe notes:
We re-ordered the steps in the recipe, preparing the spinach first, then searing the paneer (in the same pan, even), and then sauteing the onions. For us, this made for a smoother and more logical work-flow.
We ended up adding an extra two teaspoons of salt after tasting the finished sauce in order to get the flavors to really come out.
We recommend doubling the recipe if you're serving more than two people. The recipe says it serves four, but we only got about two cups of sauce from our preparation. We felt this was a little more than enough for two people but not enough for four.
Put some rice on the stove to cook before you start preparing the palak, and it will be done by the time the sauce is ready!

Mm, one of my favorite dishes--thanks for the recipe! The palak paneer I usually get is finely pureed, so it's almost like a spinach pesto. I like how this one is basically creamed spinach!
I make palak paneer probably once every other week. More often than that some months. I use yogurt instead of cream to cut down a bit on the fat levels (especially since I love me my paneer and make a paneer-heavy palak!). Also, ground cashews (just a tablespoon or two) add a delicious additional layer to the dish. (Also, now I'm just nitpicking?, but there isn't any garlic or ginger in the Globe recipe?! But...but...but...!!)
I love palak paneer. I make it a point to add more spinach and a little bit of butter while tossing the onions. It tastes great with naan and plain rice...you guys should definitely check out - http://food.sulekha.com/palak-paneer.htm.
This recipe is surprisingly awesome! Who would have thought that the Boston Globe could do Indian food.
