|Opening of Graduation Duel! Neos vs Black Flame Dragon of Horus
"Gratitude Duel! Cronos vs. Original Dropout Boy" is the one hundred and sixty-seventh episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime. It first aired in Japan on December 26, 2007.
With graduation approaching, Dr. Crowler begins to revert to his old ways, and Jaden Duels him to find out why.
|This summary is currently incomplete.
Hassleberry and Blair have finished the graduation album photos and hand the flash drive containing them to Dr. Crowler. He previews the photos, and privately seems upset that everyone is growing up and leaving Duel Academy. Meanwhile, Jaden has been skipping classes again, and Hassleberry and Blair inform him that Crowler's manner has changed. He chastises the third year students, making them do tests in basic math to ensure they can calculate Life Points, write Chinese text to understand card effects, and even makes them do push-ups. He then begins canceling classes, and the students begin to fear that they won't have sufficient grades to graduate if he keeps doing so.
Crowler goes to great lengths to hide from his students, and this ultimately results in a chase across the Academy, even leading them through Chancellor Sheppard's office. They finally corner him, and he states he won't allow them to graduate. Jaden asks why, and Crowler reveals that Jaden himself does not have sufficient points to graduate and even calls him "drop-out boy", something he hadn't done in long time (This expression is usually changed to "Slifer Slacker" in the dub). Jaden challenges Crowler to a Duel, and the latter accepts, with him promising to allow everyone to graduate should Jaden defeat him.
Jaden Summons "Elemental Hero Flame Wingman" in his first turn. Crowler expects this, and removes from play "Flame Wingman" using his "Unfinished Time Box" Trap Card when "Flame Wingman" destroys his "Ancient Gear Soldier". He then successfully Summons 3 "Ancient Gear Golems" and reduces Jaden's Life Points to 200, thanks to their Piercing effects. Jaden comments that Crowler is a great teacher, and thanks him for showing him such an awesome combo. He strikes back using "Elemental Hero Flare Neos" and "Instant Neo Space". At this point, Crowler breaks down crying, and reveals that he doesn't want them to graduate as he will miss them. Many of the students even begin cheering for Crowler, telling him not to give up. Crowler unveils his most powerful monster - "Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem", with an attack of 4400. Despite being reduced 100 Life Points, Jaden still appears optimistic, and Crowler himself wishes to see how Jaden will turn the situation around and defeat him.
Jaden shows him just that, by freeing his "Flame Wingman" from "Unfinished Time Box" with a combination of "Elemental Hero Air Neos" and "Cyclone Wing". He activates "Demise of the Land", which lets him activate "Skyscraper" in the middle of his Battle Phase, and destroying Crowler's "Ancient Gear Golem" with "Elemental Hero Flame Wingman", winning this Duel the same way he won their first Duel. Crowler comments that he's learned just as many things from his students as they've hopefully learned from his. With this, Crowler begins teaching classes again, but forces Jaden to do all the work he's missed in his skipped classes.
Featured Duel: Jaden Yuki vs. Vellian Crowler
Turn 1: Crowler
Crowler Summons "Ancient Gear Soldier" (1300/1300) in Defense Position and Sets a card.
Turn 2: Jaden
Jaden Activates "Polymerization", sending his Elemental Heroes "Avian" and "Burstinatrix" from his hand to the Graveyard to Fusion Summon "Elemental Hero Flame Wingman" (2100/1200) in Attack Position. "Flame Wingman" attacks and destroys "Ancient Gear Soldier", with Crowler taking damage equal to his destroyed monster's ATK (Crowler: 4000 → 2700). Crowler activates his face-down "Unfinished Time Box", which banishes "Flame Wingman" (since it battled one of Crowler's monsters this turn) and also lets Crowler draw a card. Jaden Summons "Elemental Hero Clayman" (800/2000) in Defense Position.
Turn 3: Crowler
Crowler Activates "Crazy Summon Gear", which targets "Clayman": Jaden must now Special Summon up to 2 Warrior-Type monsters from his Deck, choosing their battle positions, while Crowler can Special Summon a monster from his Graveyard, and all other copies of that summoned monster. Jaden summons "Elemental Hero Sparkman" (1600/1400) in Attack Position, and "Elemental Hero Wildheart" (1500/1600) in Defense Position, while Crowler summons "Ancient Gear Soldier" (1300/1300) from his Graveyard and 2 more copies from his Deck. Then he activates "Spell Gear", sending his 3 "Ancient Gear Soldiers" to the Graveyard and Special Summoning 3 "Ancient Gear Golems" (3000/3000) in their place, one from his Deck and two from his hand, ignoring the summoning conditions.[Notes 1] The 3 "Ancient Gear Golems" attack and destroy Jaden's monsters, while inflicting Piercing damage on his Defense Position monsters (Jaden: 4000 → 3000 → 1600 → 200). Crowler sets a card.
Turn 4: Jaden
Jaden Sends the top 5 cards of his Deck ("Elemental Hero Necroshade", "Elemental Hero Neos", "Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab", "Necro Gardna" and "Hero Signal") to the Graveyard to activate "Take Over 5": During his Standby Phase, he may banish this card from the Graveyard to draw 1 card. In addition, while "Take Over 5" is in the Graveyard, he is immune to effects that send cards from his Deck to the Graveyard. Then he activates "Miracle Contact", returning "Elemental Hero Neos" and "Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab" from his Graveyard to his Deck, Special Summoning "Elemental Hero Flare Neos" (2500/2000) in Attack Position. He Equips "Flare Neos" with "Instant Neo Space": "Flare Neos" can now remain on the field instead of returning to Jaden's Deck at the End Phase. "Flare Neos" also gains 400 additional ATK for each Spell and Trap Card on the field, and there are 3. (3700/2000) "Flare Neos" attacks and destroys 1 of Crowler's "Ancient Gear Golems" (Crowler: 2700 → 2000).
Turn 5: Crowler
Crowler activates "Ancient Gear Workshop", returning the "Ancient Gear Golem" in his Graveyard to his hand. He then activates "Polymerization", sending to his Graveyard the "Ancient Gear Golem" in his hand and the other 2 on the field to Fusion Summon "Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem" (4400/3400) in Attack Position. "Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem" attacks "Flare Neos", with Jaden banishing "Necro Gardna" from his Graveyard to negate the attack. Crowler activates his face-down "Desperado Battle", reducing "Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem's" ATK by 1000 for the duration of the turn and allowing it to attack again. As "Desperado Battle" has resolved, "Flare Neos" loses 400 ATK (3300/2000) "Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem" attacks and destroys "Flare Neos" (Jaden: 200 → 100). With "Flare Neos" having left the field while equipped with "Instant Neo Space", Jaden can now Special Summon "Elemental Hero Neos" (2500/2000) from his Deck.
Turn 6: Jaden
Jaden draws "Demise of the Land". During his Standby Phase, Jaden also removes the "Take Over 5" in his Graveyard from play to draw a card. He activates "Fifth Hope" and shuffles Elemental Heroes "Avian", "Burstinatrix", "Sparkman", "Clayman" and "Wildheart" from his Graveyard into his Deck; in exchange, he can draw 2 cards. He summons "Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird" (800/600) and returns it along with "Neos" to his Deck to Special Summon "Elemental Hero Air Neos" (2500/2000) in Attack Position. As Jaden's Life Points are lower than Crowler's, "Air Neos" gains ATK equal to the difference, which is 1900. (4400/2000) Jaden then equips "Air Neos" with "Cyclone Wing": When "Air Neos" attacks, 1 Spell/Trap on the field can be targeted and destroyed. "Air Neos" attacks "Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem", destroying both monsters, but now, "Cyclone Wing" destroys "Unfinished Time Box". This returns "Elemental Hero Flame Wingman" (2100/1200) to the field and under Jaden's control. Upon being destroyed, the effect of "Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem" Special Summons the original "Ancient Gear Golem" (3000/3000) from Crowler's Graveyard while ignoring the Summoning conditions. Jaden activates "Demise of the Land" (since Crowler Special Summoned a monster): This allows him to activate a Field Spell Card from his Deck, and he chooses "Skyscraper". "Flame Wingman" attacks "Ancient Gear Golem", while gaining 1000 extra ATK from "Skyscraper". "Ancient Gear Golem" is destroyed (Crowler: 2000 → 1900). "Flame Wingman" inflicts damage to Crowler equal to his destroyed monster's ATK (Crowler: 1900 → 0).
Featured cards
The following cards appeared in this episode. Cards in italics debuted here.
- ↑ In the TCG/OCG, "Spell Gear" can only Summon up to 2 "Ancient Gear Golems", and any 3 "Ancient Gear" card can be sent from the field to the Graveyard for its effect.

There are days when I look around my apartment -- cluttered, disorganized, and half-decorated -- and think, "There's no other home as crappy as mine." Then I log on to Ugly House Photos, a Phoenix-based website that displays real-estate sale photos that should never have been uploaded ... and I feel a tiny bit better.
Before you judge me, you've got to see the hilariawful images (and snarktastic quips) of one Mr. Leif Swanson. He's a realtor himself and couldn't believe the dumb mistakes homeowners made when trying to sell their homes. "The first impression is ruined by a bad photo," he says. In other words, if your dog is pooping on your front lawn ... wait 30 seconds before snapping your picture. Trust me.
Ogle some of Swanson's best (er, worst) and see if you don't find yourself snickering as much as I did.
Child does not come with room.
Big sale on green paint?
Swanson says, "I'll give you $20 to open one of those garbage cans."
The Grotto? Not-o.
This is where you crap. If you are wondering what crap is ...
Flashback to high-school make-out parties. Seriously, I'm hearing Rush right now.
The point is: You don't have to hire a fancy staging company to make your home look unrealistically perfect, but you do have to pick up your laundry and, if you can't fold it, at least take it out of the frame.
And now I know that if I want to sell my house for its best price, I need to pack up my huge collection of vintage troll dolls.
Now let's vote: Which of these, if you're being brutally honest, comes closest to your own lovely abode? (I think mine's sadly most like the last one.)
Images via UglyHousePhotos
My addiction to Kirkland's and Hobby Lobby has made for a well decorated home in my case...except...the NEON lime green bedroom the former owners left us with...we still haven't gotten around to painting so I just keep the door shut.
Oh MY!
I don't mind the green paint (my room used to be Shrek green), what I want to know is "Where did the homeowners find that majestic horse comforter?", LOL!
None of these come even close to my home.
I have bookmarked this site for those days I'm unhappy with my house. Now I feel like I live in a mansion, lol.
Scary and none of those look like my home.

I was looking for a leather-covered chair to use in my kitchen and couldn't decide between the Belleme and the Crystie chair. I ordered both and much prefer this one (the Belleme). It has a slightly curved back which makes it more comfortable than the Crystie (to me). The chair feels very solid and cleans up easily. Looks great, too! I returned the Crystie chairs and got a full set of the Bellemes for my kitchen table. If you want a more angular look, you might prefer the Crystie.
I bought these to replace my previous black leather dining chairs. They came very quickly, and were well packed. They looked good, although, I was very surprised to see that the chair stitching was off white. I corrected that problem with a black sharpie by coloring in the stitching. I can tell that the quality of leather is not that of my previous chairs, but I paid half as much for these. I used my old chairs for six years and the leather started splitting. Sometimes lower grade leather will take more wear. I am hoping that this is the case with these.
I ordered 6 chairs about 2 weeks ago. They arrived in about a week, fully assembled. The chairs looks great and are stable (not rickety or shaky). The contruction isn't stellar and you can tell where they tried to cut corners (glued down on the under side, no protective caps on the legs) but overall they're not bad for the price. The chair legs are covered in leather and stitched to hold in place however the ends do not have a protective cap so as you drag the chairs on the floor or the carpet, the leather around the base of the legs touches the floor. The seats are nice and wide but there's not a lot of padding so don't expect this to cushion your tush as you sit. They're still very comfortable for a nice long meal. The leather overall is nice and durable but it's matte and not shiny/supple like leather on sofas. All in all, you'll like the chairs and they're a much better deal than any other store bought chairs.
Well, I've been looking for months for dining chairs for the table I purchased in March. I finally came across these chairs and ordered them end of July / beginning of August (8 in total) and they worked perfectly with my table. I received lots of compliments. However, the leather is defective. When I originally took the first set of chairs that came out of the box, the leather looked like it might have been dirty. I figured no big deal, I'll buy some Armor All wipes and that should be a quick fix. Nope. The leather is defective. It turns this ashy grey color that looks almost dried out. Every other month I have to wipe down these chairs because the leather dries out. I wish I could post pictures for you to see - you would be shocked at the difference. I took a picture of the chair what it looks like before I Armor All it and put a chair right next to it after I Armor All it. They are two totally different chairs. Leather is not supposed to do this. I've bought many leather furniture pieces in the past and have never, ever had a problem like this. I would not recommend anyone buying these chairs. I spent well over $1,000 for these chairs and am so unhappy now. PS - Also another note, I notices when I was putting sliders on the bottom of the chairs I could see a little up the leg of the chair under the leather and almost every chair the metal already started to rust. Save your money.
We have four kids, three cats and a dog, but thus far (a month) the chairs seem like they'll stay in perfect shape for a while to come. It's amazing they're less than half the price of the version (which we considered) because I can't image how they could be improved. They're comfortable (considering the style of minimal cushion) and look terrific. One of our eight came in a very dark brown--we could only tell in the right light, but then it was obvious--and Overstock sent us a new one within days. Great service.
I love these chairs. I expect good quality from Overstock based on past purchases but I can safely say these chairs exceeded my expectation. Looks like they should cost a lot more. They are perfect with the little table I purchased them to use with... very happy with my good looking sturdy chairs.
i bought 14 of these chairs (I have a big table) 5 years ago. we use them all the time and they still look brand new. I wipe them down and they look amazing. clean lines, modern and classic. you could not do better anywhere. GET THESE CHAIRS.
I cannot express enough my gratitude to overstock for these chairs. I was looking for these chairs for a long time but thanks to overstock I own three sets of chairs now. For me they don�t have to have any commercials or marketing stuff. I will return for other things as well. You can be 100% sure of that.
For me it was essential to have these chairs. They look so simple and charming, with this classic design and not too much material and overwhelming additions. I ordered three sets and I received six simple, tasteful and durable chairs on a great price and quality.
I love the look and the affordable price of these dining chairs. I ordered four in my small dining room and when they arrived I was surprised. I did not expect these chairs to be so high quality and durable, so simple yet with an elegant look. They are really comfortable and cozy, easy to clean and can be moved around the house easily, so whenever guests arrive I have some nice extra chairs.

Exoplanet Candidates Revealed
CmdrTaco posted more than 3 years ago | from the nice-place-to-visit dept.49
An anonymous reader writes "Last summer, NASA announced that the Kepler space telescope had identified more than 700 exoplanet 'candidates' from the first few months of observations in 2009. Only 312 of the candidates were initially made public, while 400 others (click the green search button) were sequestered until February 2011. The team is soon expected to announce that a large number of these candidates have been confirmed as exoplanets. A non-profit organization in Boulder, Colorado supports scientific research on the Kepler data through $10 adopt-a-star donations. The price is $100 for confirmed exoplanets, so hurry while these 700+ stars are still 'candidates'!"

Molecule of the Week
syn-Propanethial S-oxide
January 21, 2013
Why does slicing onions make you cry? The culprit is syn-propanethial S-oxide. Exposing allinase enzymes in onions to air generates 1-propenesulfenic acid. Another enzyme rearranges the acid to form this unusual volatile compound. When it hits your eyes, it stimulates the lachrymal glands to produce tears.
W. Niegisch and W. H. Stahl determined syn-propanethial S-oxide's molecular formula in 1956. After many researchers attempted to establish its structure, E. Block and co-workers pinned it down in 1979 and showed that it has the syn, or Z, configuration. About 5% of the natural substance has the anti (E) configuration.
More about this molecule from CAS, the most authoritative and comprehensive source for chemical information.

I am so thankful I did my research and found Green House Montessori. I could not have asked for a better school. I love the staff and school environment. Greenhouse montessori has exceeded my expectations. I love that not only does my daughter do the normal school work she also bakes, cleans, Garden's, and does amazing activities that public school would not do. I would 100 percent recommend greenhouse montessori to anyone!
My daughter started with Greenhouse in the Primary Program (3-6 yr olds) and is currently in the Kindergarten program at the Charter School. I knew I wanted the Montessori experience for her as a "pre-schooler" but never thought I would keep her in a Montessori environment for her early elementary years. Greenhouse has been such an amazing experience for our family with caring and compassionate teachers and staff, exceptional extra curricular programs, and such a great family community, that I am grateful to report that I don't foresee a school change in our future. In fact, I am looking forward to enrolling my son in the Primary program this fall and continuing with Greenhouse as it grows to its fullest potential. PS. I have always been willing to pay whatever price is necessary for my children to have an exceptional academic experience and the fact that Greenhouse has Tuition Free Montessori programs for its 1/2 day Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades (and 3rd grade in the fall) is an added blessing!
We transferred our daughter here after Christmas break and could not be happier with our decision. The campus is wonderful and the fact it is a tuition free montessori school is priceless. There is a after-care program as well for working parents. Go tour the school - you will not be disappointed.
Transferred our two girls here from Montessori Education Centre. Couldn't be happier. They follow the Montessori philosophy so much more than the old school. The teachers are caring and attentive. The place is beautiful and clean. The school is small and the kids receive personalized attention that you just can't get in a public school. Very Happy with Greenhouse Montessori!
My son loves this Montessori school and has been attending for over a year.... It follows Montessori we'll and really takes into account the needs of the individual child and heir families. All children are treated like an important part of the community and learn valuable school concepts as well as life lessons. We are so glad they are adding grades and feel lucky that it is a charter school that has free tuition for k to 2 and should add third grade next year..... Their aftercare rates and parents night out are very resonably priced. We are so thankful to the teachers at this school and all the parents and children who make it a very special school. I never hesitate to recommend this school and the curriculum brings out the best in my son and is individualized.
My daughter loves Greenhouse Montessori. She transitioned from preschool to kindergarten at Greenhouse. It was such a blessing for her to stay in a loving environment which she was already familiar with. The teachers and administrators feel like family.
I am extremely happy with Greenhouse Montessori. My boys are currently 2 and 5 and started with Greenhouse in 2012. People are truly amazed at how much they know. My 2 year old can say the Pledge of Allegiance, sings the Star-Spangled Banner, knows his colors, shapes, can count, read his name and I could just go on and on. My 5 year old knows addition, subtraction, counts by 1 s, 10's and 20 s, reads, has interest in multiplication, writes sentences and I could also go on and on. Greenhouse has done an amazing job with the teachers at the school - all are very welcoming, very nice, and extremely good with all the kids and best of all my boys love them. I love how Greenhouse offers extracurricular activities like Spanish, Lego Building, bringing in live animals (they love when they get to ride the horses), and I love how they get to learn at their own pace and not pushed or held back from learning what the others in the class can or can t do. Greenhouse has been the best decision for a great school for my boys, and to top it off, they also have a Summer Camp that the children truly enjoy. If you are looking for a great school, definitely check out Greenhouse Montessori!!!!
This school is a young school that I am so glad I get the opportunity to grow with. The teachers truly care about my kids (5 & 7) and encouraging them in so many ways. My kids are learning so much more than they would at the so called "academic" schools. Between the outdoor environment, the life skills and all the other areas of their teaching we feel tremendously blessed to be a part of this school. If you are looking for school that you drop your kids off and forget about them hoping that the schools raises your children for you this is not the place for you. This is a family community that requires family participation. So excited to grow with the school.
Love the Greenhouse, the community and process allowing my child to blossom into a smart and responsible young man. Today getting a classroom of kids who understand accountability to me is quite honestly - Priceless!
Our experience was awful. The owner of the school told me that they weren't sure they could guarantee our kids wouldn't be given food they're allergic to despite us providing snacks and lunch for them daily. Besides the obvious safety issue there, the school can't keep their staff. From August-March they went through 5 assistants and 1 teacher. That's complete opposite of the Montessori way. Our daughter was having issues with fits and we were concerned about her behavior. Now that we're in a school that gives their staff the support they need to provide care for toddlers, she's a whole new child. Our son's new Montessori teacher stated that he seems to have not been in a Montessori environment at all because he didn't even know the most basic Montessori works. It's extremely upsetting that parents are told one thing but what's happening is something different. If it wasn't for me being at a class party, I would've never known there were problems.The owner is selling a product that she DOES NOT deliver. Please spare yourself the headache and stress that you will get from attending this school. It's a toxic environment and our children have made leaps and bounds since removing them.

One NFC East team is still playing, but for the purposes of this blog, I'm winding the season to a close.
As usual, we've got plenty of Cowboys-centric material to focus on elsewhere on the site. So I thought I'd break down the season that was in the division. It was a forgettable year for just about everyone but the Eagles, but there were still plenty of memorable moments, plays and players.
So here's a few arbitrary awards, decided solely by me.
MVP: Nick Foles, QB PHI.
It's interesting, because LeSean McCoy just won the NFL rushing title on the Eagles' way to winning the NFC East. But there's no way to deny the impact Foles had once he was inserted as the starter in Philadelphia. McCoy was averaging 102 yards per game when Michael Vick was the quarterback, and yet the Eagles still struggled to a 2-3 record.
Enter Foles, and Philadelphia went 8-3 over its last 11 games. He completed 64 percent of his passes, and he averaged 258 yards per game. Most amazingly, as has been well documented, he threw 27 touchdowns to just two interceptions. So, he threw roughly 13 touchdowns for every pick.
Not bad.
Most Fun to Watch: LeSean McCoy, RB PHI/
I have a tough time giving the nod to one over the other, so I'm just taking both.
McCoy won the rushing title, as I mentioned. He was second in the league, only to Washington tailback Alfred Morris, with nine plays of 20 or more yards. He has that lighting in a bottle quality to his play, meaning you can't ever predict when he's going to the end zone.
How's this for a stat? The top four players in average yards per carry this season carried the ball 217 times or less – the leader, Andre Ellington, had 118 touches. McCoy took 314 carries and was fifth in the league with 5.1 yards per attempt.
What can I say about Dez that you all don't already know? He was in the center of a few controversies, and he disappeared a few times. He dropped a few balls.
That's countered pretty heavily, however, by 93 catches for 1,233 yards and 13 touchdowns. He was only held out of the end zone by six of 16 opponents, and he made circus catches in roughly 11 games – by my very unscientific calculations.
Best Rookie:
I think the Eagles might actually have had a better draft than the Cowboys, if we're being honest.
Philadelphia added a rookie starter who was shaky but serviceable in offensive tackle Lane Johnson. Their second round pick, tight end Zach Ertz, had 469 receiving yards and four touchdowns. Third-rounder Bennie Logan played in all 16 games and notched 27 tackles and two sacks. Fifth-round pick Earl Wolff played in 11 games and managed 45 tackles with one pick.
Anyway, despite all of that, I'm taking Frederick. For all the hoopla that surrounded the Cowboys' trade to the 31st pick, Frederick stepped into the starting lineup and excelled. That's not to say he was deserving of a Pro Bowl nod as a rookie, but the Wisconsin product improved from the get-go, and I think you can see some of that in
In making the trade with San Francisco, the Cowboys added two reliable starters in Frederick and
Biggest Disappointment: Eli Manning, QB NYG.
Robert Griffin III probably has a case for this, but how do you pick against the flop of a season put up by the two-time Super Bowl MVP?
Manning's 27 interceptions on the season were more than the other starting quarterbacks in the division –
A lot of that can be attributed to the Giants' horrendous offensive line, which "paved the way" for the league's No. 29 ground game and allowed 40 sacks.
That's not much of an excuse for a guy with Manning's resume, though. His completion percentage of 57.5 percent is the worst since his second season. His quarterback rating of 69.4 is the worst of his career since he became the Giants' starter.
It's not the type of statline you expect from your franchise quarterback, regardless of the circumstances around him.
Unsung Hero: Jon Beason, LB NYG
This isn't all that important, given the Giant's lackluster finish, but I felt like shouting out a monstrous resurgence by Jon Beason.
Beason was a franchise-type linebacker in Carolina before injuries and declining play dropped him off the face of the map. The emergence of Luke Kuechly as one of the league's best linebacker probably hastened that, and the Panthers traded Beason to New York in Week 4 – he had 11 tackles at the time.
Beason finished the season with 104 tackles – 93 of which came during his 12 weeks with New York. He drastically improved an awful Giants linebacking corps, and helped New York finish eighth overall in total defense.
Surprising Statline: Pierre Garcon, WR WAS
DeSean Jackson gets the big-play credit in Philadelphia, and we've documented Bryant's monstrous season for the Cowboys. Victor Cruz, who signed a lucrative deal before the season, finished with a modest total for New York.
Raise your hand if you had Pierre Garcon besting all of the prior-named superstars in receptions and yards this season. As the only reliable threat in the Washington passing game, Garcon led the league in receptions with 113 – 20 more than Bryant and a whopping 31 more than Jackson.
He also led the division in receiving yards with 1,346 on the season. Of course, you could argue that his touchdown tally of just five was nearly doubled by Jackson's nine, and it was nearly tripled by Bryant's 13. But Garcon's reliability was crucial to the Redskins' offense, which didn't see another receiver go over 500 yards on the season.
Garcon's total on the year is double what he produced last season – his first with Washington. It's also 400 yards better than his best season in Indianapolis.
The Redskins probably need another playmaker or two to bolster their passing game, but Garcon's production definitely came as an unlooked-for positive in a disappointing season.

"BERGITTE! LOOK OUT!" someone yelled, Bergitte pulled to the side and pulled Gerard with her as a girl went flying past on a skateboard with two other girls following her. The girl on the skateboard slowed down and came to a hault, "Hey Bergitte!"
"MUST YOU TRY AND KILL EVERYONE ON THAT SKATEBOARD NATALIE!?" One of the other girls yelled.
"Hey! I don't try and kill everyone!" she bit her lip, "It's an accident"
"Yeah like when you broke that guys arm?" the other one said,
"Alright I meant to run into him, I didn't mean to break his arm. But he was hot!"
"Besides almost running into Bergitte you almost ran into this gent right here!" the blonde one said pointing to Gerard.
"Sorry about that!" the girl said
"It's okay" Gerard said
"Hmm I thought your parents wouldn't let you ride anymore. It's not how a Lady is supposed to act"
"Pft, I don't plan on following in all this crap, Oh yeah my parents are talking to your parents about you marrying my brother" she added to Bergitte, Bergitte groaned
"Your brother!? But it's not natural! He's too proper!"
"Tell me about it, he yelled at me for using the wrong fork. I promise you I'm never going to get that stuff down"
"It's not that hard! You just need to memorize it, but instead you choose to fill your brain with skateboarding moves and guitar strings or whatever you call it." The blonde one said again. Gerard just stood there unnoticed, until one of the girls looked at him.
"Who's your friend Berg?" she asked
"OH! OH Goodness I'm sorry, ladies this is Gerard, Gerard this is Natalie, Juliet and Lette" she said pointing to them. Natalie's eyes grew wide.
"Gerard as in Gerard Way!?"
"Yeah" said Gerard quietly, she shook his hand
"You're supposed to curtsy!" said Lette
"Psh, I don't care"
"How will you ever be wife of a king"
"Did I not already tell you that I'm not doing that!?" she turned back to Gerard, "Can I meet the rest of the band PLEASE!"
"Sure just uhhh follow me" said Gerard, Natalie grabbed Bergitte, Lette, and Juliet forcing them to come along too. Gerard found them in the hotel room just hanging out,
"Hey Gee-Wow you pimpin it?" Frank asked, looking at all the four girls.
"Actually, no, this is my friend Bergitte-"
"The princess!?"
"Yes, and her friends" Gerard said
"Hi I'm Frank" Frank said grinning at Natalie, who smiled sweetly.
"I know who you all are" she said, Frank blushed.
"Well I best be off" Bergitte said quietly so no could hear her, she walked out of the hotel and about 2 seconds later Gerard came out.
"Hey where are you going?" he asked
"Home" she said simply
"What? Why?"
"Gerard, this kills me, but I think I should keep away for a while."
"NO!" he said, she looked taken aback, "Berg, I'm really starting to like you"
"I am too, that's why I need to stay away. It's bad news, I'm going to get married to someone I don't love and I don't need to fall in love now with someone I can't be with" she was almost crying.
"No, I'm so sorry" she walked off. At that moment Gerard was feeling very odd, confused on the way Bergitte was acting, and hurt. He walked back into the hotel room and everyone was getting along, they had to marry princes but here they were flirting with all the guys. That didn't matter they weren't falling in love......or were they. Gerard slumped back onto the bed and listened to the laughter and fun. He just stared at the ceiling. He thought about everything.
"Typical of you isn't it?" said a voice, his head jerked and he saw Bergitte next to him.
"What are you doing here!?" he asked,
"I'm not really here, I'm a figment of your imagination, you should know, my accent is American" she laughed
"Oh great I've crossed the line to crazy town"
"No you haven't. But it's typical of you isn't it? Always want someone or something you can't have"
"What do you mean!? I don't always want stuff that I can't have"
"Okay fine, women"
"Well I can't argue with that"
"Exactly, you like the chase but when you catch the prey you don't want it anymore. So isn't this a good thing? You won't hurt anyone"
"But she might be different" Gerard said
"She, or in this case, I don't need to be hurt, aren't I going through enough? I've got to marry my best friends brother, rule a country, and deal with my feelings for you" Bergitte said
"So basically I'm meant to be alone"
"Did I say that?" Bergitte asked looking at her nails
"Well that's what you're implying isn't it?"
"Maybe I'm implying you're gay, but I doubt it" she said sarcastically
"So I'm not meant to be alone?"
"My God, you really are slow aren't you? Your mind is giving you the answer but you've got to contradict yourself"
"Well what is my mind telling me that I'm not getting!?"
"You've got to change, prove to yourself it's true love and not lust! Or worse.....for power"
"Power!? Bull shit! I barely like the way people treat me now!"
"You love it. You love the fact that teenage girls everywhere want you, you love the crowds chanting your name, you love how everyone adores you"
"They don't adore me, they adore Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance"
"That's who you are isn't it? You're only one person you just have different roles in your life but it's all you, the same thing is going on with Bergitte. Her life is much more harder, you got to choose your fate, while she's stuck in a play she doesn't want to be in. You don't want hurt her like you know you will, admit it you're glad she's gone. You've never felt like this about anyone else before and you're scared."
"I'm not scared!" Bergitte disappeared,
"You okay Gerard?" Bob asked worriedly,
"Wha-Oh yeah why wouldn't I be?"
"You're talking to yourself" said Frank.
"That's not the worst of it" Gerard muttered

Something's Happening Here
A string of controversies on Kauai is changing the way people do business. The rest of the state might not be far behind
(page 3 of 4)
For his part, Baptiste has undertaken updating district development plans, which also provide constructive platforms for community input. His office has introduced legislative measures to address the issue, including a "Use or Lose It" bill that would require developers to start their projects within five years of approval. Baptiste has also introduced a temporary moratorium on agricultural subdivisions to stem sprawl. Why? According to KPAA, from 2000 to 2005, 1,359 new housing lots were cut out on agriculture land, while 1,600 homes were added in town districts.
"It is my hope that this will stimulate further discussion on how we want to grow, including whether we want agriculture to be a viable industry," Baptiste wrote to Hawaii Business.
In addition, Baptiste's administration has a number of smaller programs targeted at such things as agriculture growth. The programs includes reopening the papaya disinfestation plant in Lihue, which, when it closed, virtually knocked out commercial papaya farming on Kauai. He is also working such endeavors as on opening 75 acres in Kilauea to lease affordably to farmers. The difficulty for Kauai, though, is that there is no single silver bullet: Solutions to the various challenges are complicated, require trade-offs and take time, in some cases decades.
More often than not, you just have to bite the bullet.
Energy is a perfect example.
Kauai has the highest power rates in Hawaii. Everyone agrees renewable energies are the future. But what people sometimes don't realize, says Randy Hee, president and CEO of the Kauai Island Utility Cooperative, is the difficulty in finding the appropriate renewable sources and also ensuring reliability. Hee says many of the renewable energies such as sun and wind require back-up generation because renewable sources are not 24-7 sources. Renewables also require investment, but typically do not provide immediate savings and the KIUC is not eligible for tax incentives because of its nonprofit status.
That does not mean Kauai is not ambitious. Hee says the KIUC has a number of projects in the pipeline and a goal of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels and being over 50 percent renewable by 2020. That said, in the current state of affairs, people want to see relief today for their power bills. So do Hee and his board. No one lacks the will, he says.
"The solutions are not quick and they are not easy," Hee says.
Quietly, while some Kauai residents were screaming at Superferry passengers, rudely receiving Gov. Linda Lingle and even castigating local Superferry supporters, many residents were shamed.
People said vandalizing cars is not how local people act.
People said shouting is not how Kauai people work out issues.
Those comments made in the aftermath of the protests underscored a newly arrived, but marked division on Kauai. Kauai residents often describe the riotous group as the vocal minority, many of them, they say, are new, generally affluent arrivals to Kauai. A common practice is to scan the letters to the editor page in The Garden Island newspaper, not so much for content but for the town in which the letter writer lives, to see whether he or she is new to the island.
Kauai Chamber of Commerce president Randall Francisco acknowledges there is definitely an undercurrent of cultural division contributing to divisiveness.
"I think people felt embarrassed," Francisco says, referring to the Superferry protests. "We as people of Hawaii and Kauai, most of us came from a plantation community. That multicultural upbringing gives us our identity and sometimes for newcomers, there is a disconnect."
Francisco continues that, in plantation culture, where everyone was so interdependent, you didn't always express your opinion so negatively, so publically. "Sometimes how we use language, verbal and nonverbal, is the Red Sea that divides us. I don't fault newcomers, because they don't share that experience, but the majority of the community does have that as a reference point."
That does not mean the silent majority is pro-development. The same fears about overdevelopment and loss of rural character are commonly held throughout the community across all demographics. But longtime residents, who have raised families on Kauai and watched children leave for school and not move back because of a lack of jobs, tend to be more moderate when it comes to development, though just as distressed by traffic woes and even more concerned about cost-of-living issues.
"With a lot of issues, there is a silent majority, made up of a lot of local people, born and raised here. They do have the same interests and they do want to preserve our community our culture, our unique social fabric, but really weren't against the Superferry and understand why the monkeypod trees have to come out," says Koerte.
"A lot of the longtime people experience the shutdown of the plantations. They understand something has to come in so there are jobs and their children can return, can come home for work," she says. "They understand something has to happen for us to progress and compete in a global marketplace. They are people who have experienced downturns."

According to the fossil record, 66 million years ago dinosaurs roamed the earth and had evolved through natural selection to their greatest success and diversity. The Age of Dinosaurs and the Cretaceous Period of geologic time ended suddenly (geologically speaking) about 500,000 years later. Their demise was caused by a catastrophic climatic event widely thought to be either a massive asteroid impact on the planet, greatly increased world wide volcanism, or some combination of both. This event also initiated mass extinctions of many other reptiles, mammals, and plant life on Earth.
The Porsche 911 is the "dinosaur" of modern sports cars, yet it is not extinct-far from it, in fact! Since its debut at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1963, the 911 has evolved continuously with the help of "natural enthusiast selection" to be one of the world's most successful and recognizable sports cars in history. With this article, the first in a new project series, we take the track-gobbling T-Rex of the 911 family, the new 2010 GT3, on a road trip into real dino-country. Our destination is Drumheller, Alberta, the self-proclaimed Dinosaur Capital of the World, located smack in the middle of western Canada's Badlands.
A brisk 90-minute drive northeast from Calgary gives you a much better insight into what the engineers had in mind when they designed this new machine. Over uneven, cracked, and bumpy open country highway, the new GT3 demonstrates its highly evolved poise and power. The ride is firm, yet never too jarring, and perfectly damped to keep the contact patch securely clawed to the tarmac surface. To enable this, the suspension components were completely revised with new PASM damping calibration, spring rates increased 12 percent in front while the rear remains the same (45 and 105 Nm, respectively), antiroll bars are from the now-dormant GT2 (25mm front and 23 mm rear), and the setup incorporates new front axle roll center geometry (again a la GT2). With Porsche's superb variable rate steering rack, the new suspension provides razor-sharp feel and handling straight from the factory floor unlike any stock vehicle I've ever driven.
On the power end of things, the resulting thrust and roaring sounds are scintillating for a normally aspirated engine of this size. Most European car enthusiasts are already well aware of the engine displacement increase from 3.6 to 3.8 liters for the new GT3, and the increased power generated, up 20 hp to 435. They are also likely privy to the facts that the latest evolution of this legendary Metzger GT1-based dry sump powerplant utilizes a new VarioCam system to control the exhaust valves, and that power is available right up to the 8500-rpm redline. The power achievements were also aided by re-working oil pumps, pistons, camshafts, exhaust system, A/C system, and the dual-mass flywheel for improved efficiencies and reduced weight.
In back-to-back runs with a 997 GT3 Mk1, the new 2010 997 GT3 Mk2 exhibits similar hair-raising thrills on the top end of the rev range, but the new car's extra power is certainly noticeable. Torque through the entire rev range however is greatly improved, which brings the fun factor up a couple of notches, something previously thought impossible. The outgoing engine is actually perceivably smoother, likely due to the new engine's increased displacement and more aggressive cams, which in turn give it a new, more fitting raw and nasty edge-just like T-Rex himself.
On the transmission side, a new short-shifter linkage is standard, along with a revised Getrag six-speed transaxle incorporating stronger steel synchronizers. This gives the shift action nice short throws with a slightly stiffened resistance, combined with a more metallic "notchiness" that most hardcore enthusiasts will love. The clutch action is solid and heavy and perfectly matches the suitably manly shift feel.

MOLINE -- The hum of the acres of bugs and the cadence of the cicadas created the perfect soundtrack for the dozens of people who canvassed the Green Valley Nature Preserve on Saturday.
From morning until afternoon, experts and volunteers toured and scouted the area in search of all living things that call the area home.
Saturday was Bio-Diversity Day, a "comprehensive species inventory project," said Amy Bandman with River Action, which joined forces with the Upper Mississippi Studies Center, a new organization at Augustana College that focuses on sustainability science and building relationships between people and natural resources.
"We're getting a count of all the living things that we find in the area at Green Valley," Ms. Bandman said, noting that going over the numerous tally sheets and crunching the numbers would be the "project for the week."
Throughout the day, 25 experts from the community and area colleges led about 60 volunteers through the area, counting and collecting plants, insects, worms, birds, reptiles, amphibians and soil samples. They'd bring the work back to the picnic tables situated beneath tents before getting to work cataloging it all using identification books, Ms. Bandman said.
"It was cool to see everything out here," she said.
Ms. Bandman said the information gathered will be turned over to the city of Moline to offer a look at the health of the site and pinpoint ways it could be improved.
"It was very successful," she said.
Dr. Michael Reisner, of Geneseo, the director of Augie's new Upper Mississippi Center, said the center is working to assess the area's waterways and analyze "how these wetlands and green spaces are functioning."
Collaborating with River Action for the bio-diversity project seemed like a natural fit, he said, and engaging with the community allowed Quad-Citians to become more aware of wildlife and their impact on it.
The group also searched for "hot spots" throughout the 350-acre preserve, Dr. Reisner said, or areas where more plant or wildlife resided, and whether wildlife was native or non-native to the area.
His daughters, Joselyn, 8, and Savannah, 9, came along to help.
"I helped find bugs," Joselyn said, adding that she and her group searched for worms by pouring a mixture of water and mustard into the soil, which helped to draw the worms to the surface.
She found one worm using the method, she said. "It was skinny," she said. "It was really pink and you could almost see the veins."
Her sister netted insects for the project.
There were "a lot of grasshoppers and crickets," Savannah said.
She also found a skipper, she said, which is "kind of like a butterfly and a moth," but it's "not a butterfly and it's not a moth."
She said the creatures land with their wings up like a butterfly, using her hands to mimic the angle.
She enjoys searching for wildlife and plant life, "just to be outside and get messy."
Ms. Bandman said the groups plan to assess other wildlife spots around the Quad-Cities, including those posted on River Action's QC Wild Places page at riveraction.org/qcwp.
"It's a good project," she said.

Motion off to the side caught my attention, and I squinted into the darkness, trying to gauge what had moved in my neighbor's yard. Perhaps a meandering cat or perhaps just a bit of debris kicked up by the breeze. But then it shifted again, and pale light reflected from what I recognized as glass.
I followed the shape of the bottle, glossing over the hand wrapped around its dark brown form. As my eyes adjusted, I recognized the outline of a person reclined in a deck chair. His defined chest was bare yet too far away to determine if any hair existed or even the color of his nipples. What I did notice was the flexing motion of his abdomen during his rough breathing. Not just the flexing of his flat stomach but the rhythmic up-down motion of his arm.
I almost took a step back when my brain finally registered what it all meant. A small cry of surprise tried to spill from my lips, but I bit it back in time. Instead, I stood transfixed and watched an amazing specimen of human musculature move with an erotic beauty that took my breath.
I'd seen men masturbate before. Who hasn't been drawn to the free sites on the Internet that allowed such decadent voyeurism? But watching him now, my neighbor, was nothing like I'd ever before seen.
His thighs were spread, his feet planted on the concrete. He wasn't muscular like a bodybuilder, but he had natural definition, as if he'd spent time doing manual labor. Shadows hid his face from view, but between his slow strokes, he sipped from the bottle, allowing me to triangulate where his face would be.
From his position, he probably couldn't see me. I hoped to God he couldn't see me. But the idea of getting caught watching wasn't enough to make me turn my head. Besides, I was similarly afraid any movement made by me would draw his attention. If I left, perhaps he would think I hadn't seen a thing, but then again, maybe he would know the truth.
I became fascinated by the motion of that one hand stroking over an elegantly long cock. He used his fingers to tease the head, and then on the downward stroke made certain to pay attention to his testicles. Instead of the urgency I expected, he seemed at ease with the lazy pace. As if he knew he'd get himself to where he wanted to be eventually.
My own arousal swept over me in a rush, surrounding me in its embrace. Reminding me it had been too long since I'd known a lover's hand or even my own.
I thought briefly of Patrick. What would he say to see me here, yearning and fascinated?
I braced myself, ready to feel the guilt. A heated blush should have crept over my face, the shame of wanting to be here burning me from the inside. Instead, I remembered his lovely smile and knew if he saw me here now, his mouth would be curved into a grin. Enjoy yourself, honey. He wouldn't be outside if he didn't want an audience.
Perhaps that was my own justification for staying, but at the same time, I was sure Patrick would have said those words…or at least something similar. Bolstered by my own wants, and what my husband would have approved of, I stayed. I watched. And I enjoyed it.
My neighbor's pace increased, his hips jerking as I suspected he brought himself closer and closer to the point of no return. Mouth dry, I watched every lovely moment, waiting to see the rush of his release. Between my thighs was damp, my breasts heavy.
Up until now, he'd been silent, but when I heard his first low groan, my focus sharpened. Licking my lips, I stared at his cock and could have cried out in triumph when his hand's action sped up, and then his hips punched into the air. I couldn't see it clearly, much to my disappointment, but the way his body tensed, I knew the moment he climaxed. The sounds he simultaneously made, just as sexy.
His chest heaved as he drew air into his desperate lungs. I knew his need to gulp in the night based on the way my own body reacted, pulsing with a familiar ache.
He picked up the forgotten beer bottle and ran it over the muscles of his abdomen. Over the muscles of his chest, and even the points of his nipples. He must have been scorching and let the glass cool him down as much as it could.
With a groan, my neighbor stood, leaving behind the bottle. He stepped out from the shadows, and this time I did not catch my gasp in time from piercing the night. For the past several minutes I thought I'd watched the antics of a middle-aged man who'd somehow kept himself well preserved. I should have known better.
The person who stepped out from the shadows was not the owner of the house, but instead, his son. Jeff—Josh, maybe—was home from college. Some stint at the state college that his parents had been very proud of. My God, he'd grown up. When was the last time I'd seen him? Six, seven years ago?
This time, heat flooded my cheeks because he was easily ten years younger than I, if not younger than that. I'd crossed the line from sexually curious into improper prurience. Still, did that stop me from watching him move with liquid grace toward the pool? Nope.
It wasn't until he dove beneath the waters that fear of being caught and guilt about my resultant arousal urged my feet into motion. He swam in my direction, and the very last thing I needed him to do was break the surface, look up and find me staring. So I made certain he was completely submerged, his body nicely silhouetted against the pool tiles, before I made my escape. I quickly backed away from the deck railing, grabbed the forgotten glass of wine and almost stumbled in my haste to go back inside.
What would my neighbors think if they knew I'd seen him in all his naked glory? What would my coworkers say? I had an obligation to my community, and lusting after one of its barely legal members wasn't included. My heart raced, adrenaline finally catching up.
"Mrs. Pace!"
Not more than a foot from the sliding glass door, I stopped. Why, I couldn't say, but hearing my name called across the otherwise quiet night served as well as a traffic light. I couldn't bring myself to put my foot in front of the other. Couldn't get myself to keep going. I'd been caught and deserved whatever chastisement would be coming my way.
"Mrs. Pace?" The voice, mellow yet deep, was nearer now.
I turned slowly, ready to face my accuser. "Yes?"
Mrs. Smith's boy, my next-door neighbor's son, walked toward the fence that separated my yard from theirs, his lean body glistening and dripping. I quickly took in the rugged features of his face: narrow nose, broad jaw, dark eyes. Although he was as naked as nature intended, he moved leisurely. His steps still somehow managed to cross his yard in short order. He grasped onto the fence, elevating himself just enough so that I could see him well over the six-foot privacy fence, and so he could also see me.
His eyes glittered in the night. "Same time tomorrow, Mrs. Pace?"
Thoughts of how to respond to him tumbled in my mind, and I stood momentarily too stunned to answer. Was he being serious? Or just cocky? Was this an invitation or an accusation?
He must have thought my hesitation had some special meaning, for he added, "It would be my pleasure."
A smile touched my lips at the thought of this young, arrogant man propositioning me. That's what it was. Permission to repeat tonight as part of his enjoyment. And mine.

Miscellaneous Photos 2
Unless otherwise noted, the photographs on this page are from the scrapbook of my father, "Mel" Varney, ball turret gunner on Capt. Wilson's crew.
These crew photos are from those on the roster in the early months overseas. The 12 crews on the roster at the end of April 1944 (the first month of combat operations) were those of these pilots: Barstow, Brower, Ecoff, Erickson, Harms, Hunt, Noble, Rives, Roberts, Somerville, Wooten, and Wilson. By the end of June 1944, Barstow's crew had been lost and was replaced by Olsen's. In July four more crews were added (Clover's, Davis', McClay's, and Toye's), bringing the total to 16. By the end of January 1945 the number of aircrews had risen to 26, and hovered in the low 20's until the end of the war.

5 Breakout Stocks to Leverage the Rally
Bank of America
It's worth revisiting Bank of America (BAC), a big name from last week's spotlight on banks. BofA has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons lately, drawing ire from consumers and investors alike. But the trading setup in shares is still decidedly bullish.
The inverse head-and-shoulders we looked at last week completed its right shoulder in the days since, bringing this stock significantly closer to a breakout above the neckline. Regardless of what you may think about bank stocks, a rising tide could lift all ships this week -- and exhaustion among BofA sellers is palpable in this pattern.
Wait until shares break out above the neckline before taking a position in this stock. Then, I'd recommend keeping a tight stop just under the right shoulder -- headline and fundamental risks haven't disappeared just because this setup looks promising in the short term.Bank of America, one of David Tepper's top five Dow stocks, also shows up on a recent list of 10 Bargain Stocks Under $10.

Purchased this in the saddle brown colour. The quality is outstanding - all leather without too much hardware. The size is perfect. I've had it for quite awhile now, and have never felt the need to switch to another bag (and I'm a handbag junkie).
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Here's Toyota's line: its two recalls for floormats and sticking accelerator pedals should cover all potential cases of sudden unintended acceleration in its batch of recalled vehicles. Both recalls are for mechanical issues, and Toyota spokesman John Hanson claims, "After man years of exhaustive testing we have not found any evidence of an electronic [software] problem that would have led to unwanted acceleration."
Enter Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple and a jolly guy who knows a thing or two about software. While speaking at the Discovery Forum 2010, the Woz claimed that his 2010 Prius, which is not a part of either recall, has an accelerator that "goes wild but only under certain conditions of cruise control." He also claimed that it's repeatable. Though Woz said he has tried to contact both Toyota and the National Highway Traffic Safety Institute, neither has reportedly investigated his claim.
Why is this news? Because despite Toyota's claim that any potential risk for sudden unintentional acceleration in its recalled vehicles is mechanically related, there are lingering reports of other cases, including ones involving vehicles not affected by either recall, that could be software-related. Proving that software caused an instance of sudden acceleration is tricky, so the fact that Woz claims he can repeat the issue makes his case appear to be one worth investigating.

2012 highlights
As lakes area residents prepare to ring in the new year of 2013, readers can take a look back at the highlights — and lowlights — of 2012.
Our communities lost several prominent residents in 2012, and deserving Citizens of the Year were honored in Pequot Lakes-Breezy Point and Nisswa.
Legislative boundaries were redrawn and area communities will have new representation in 2013. November elections returned veterans and newcomers alike to local offices.

The Best Way to Store Cilantro
I'm always excited when I purchase cilantro. In my neighborhood you can get four bunches for a dollar, and even if I don't need all four bunches I still bring them home. I figure I'll find a way to use all of them up, but inevitably there's one sad bunch all soggy and brown in the back of the fridge a week later. But not anymore!
Curious about which methods kept cilantro fresh longer, Jodi Torpey of the blog Vegetable Gardener tested a few out. She tried three methods: 1) cilantro in a jar on the counter with water, 2) cilantro in a jar in the refrigerator with a bag over the leaves, and 3) cilantro with the stems trimmed in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Do you know which method worked the best?
The jar in the refrigerator with a bag over the leaves! Just make sure you keep it chilled, watered and covered! Read the full study to check out more details.

What kind of bag, paper or plastic?
The method above, involves changing the water every other day. It gets pretty gross quickly. I've found that wrapping cilantro in a damp kitchen towel also works very well.
thank you for this post. each week i buy cilantro, and several days later if i forgot to prioritize the recipe that called for it, we have a moment of silence over the trash barrel. every.single.week.
In a jar in the fridge without a bag over it works for me. It probably lasts about a week and a half.
I agree with @Abanana, I wrap my cilantro in a damp paper towel and stick it in a plastic bag and it stays fresh enough for at least two weeks (Pick out the few stragglers that have gone bad).
I am normally not one for gadgetry, but for *potentially long lasting herbs like parsley and cilantro, my herb keeper easily earned its keep. It is easy to refill the water and I don't have to mess with a plastic bag.
I've grown to love cilantro (it was an acquired taste) and I buy large quantities of it when it's on sale and freeze it.
Wash thoroughly, drain thoroughly, leave overnight wrapped in towels in the frig to get rid of as much moisture as possible. Then chop very finely in the food processor and freeze in ice cube trays. The next day transfer cubes to a ziplock bag, store in the freezer and pull out a cube or two whenever needed. I've been doing this for years. It beats worrying about how fresh it's staying in the frig.
As soon as I get cilantro, I wrap it in aluminum foil and seal tightly and put it in the fridge. Usually in my produce drawer. When I need some, I unwrap, pluck of the leaves and reseal. I've dried jars with water and as someone else mentioned, the water gets rank after a few days. In the foil, I get it to last week-10 days. Keep it tightly sealed.
I know it won't last nearly as long, but if I'm using parsley or cilantro for a recipe, I chop up the rest and store it in a zip-lock bag with a damp paper towel. I find that I use it WAY more often if it's ready to be sprinkled on top of whatever I'm making!
This method sounds interesting. I am another person that wraps it in a damp paper towel and then puts it back in the plastic bag, and it seems to work very well.
I like to buy cilantro with the roots (they can be used in cooking too). I like to keep it in a plastic bag with a bunch of parsley in the fridge. I don't know why but the cilantro never seems to have any (or a lot fewer) discolored leaves. Keeps for a week or so. I also chop and freeze for the off season.
we can all argue which method works best but what it really comes down to is the things that we cannot control.
do you have any idea how many days since it was cut? do you know how it was stored from cutting to you buying? also, the farm it was grown on, the dirt, the fertilizer? yes some of the stuff we can do can help but not always...
that being said i shake off as much water as possible when bought, wrap in paper towel and keep in the same bag i bought it in wrapped and tied. my parsley has been alive for ten days. cilantro going on 4 looking rough....
