A second pressing copy of a split album by Matt Skiba (Alkaline Trio) and Kevin Seconds (7 Seconds), originally released in late 2002. This LP is part of a repress done in 2008 (thanks "vinyl explosion") that saw 2,000 new copies pressed on four different colours. There were 500 copies made on white with a charcoal swirl. That's pretty ballin'!
This second pressing was a godsend. When the album first came out I got a CD copy but the vinyl sold out so fast. I tried and failed to secure a copy in more E-Bay auctions than I can count and resigned myself to never having a vinyl copy. The repress took care of that!

Looking ahead to Big 12 Media Days
Source: Pac-12 Football Blog - Jul 19, 2011 at 11:17 AM
I love Big 12 Media Days for a handful of reasons, chief among them is it's finally some concrete evidence that the upcoming season will, in fact, happen. It's usually a fun few days, although it will be shorter this year with a new set up of five teams per day in two days, rather than four teams over three days. I'm looking forward to someone stealing the show -- on the podium for coaches or in the one-on-one room with players. There are a lot of personalities across the league that haven't been given much face time with the cameras, and we might get a look at some budding stars across the league raise their profiles during the week simply by being themselves.

MADISON (WKOW) – For the second year, the American Cheese
Society has held a rigorous exam to certify cheese professionals.
In order to become a Certified Cheese Professional, students
must pass an exam that lasts about three to four hours.
Max McCalman, Maitre
Fromager, says, "When
we were developing the certification over the past decade, we chose subject
matter, experts, cheese makers, importers, distributors, and restaurateurs that
had some experience to help develop this exam, with references to back it
About 172 people took the exam at the
ACS conference in Madison; only 132 passed and received certification.
Certified Cheese Professionals with an
extensive knowledge of cheese are becoming more important with the increase in
artisan and specialty cheeses, especially in Wisconsin. Many professionals share how to use these
cheeses and what to pair the cheese with on the table.
McCalman says cheese professionals benefit consumers in addition to the
cheese makers because the consumer gets to know where the cheese comes from,
that it is handled with care and that it is well described.

Remember – I Care,
Steve Zarren, President

Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder, in which muscle contractions cause twisting
and/or repetitive, involuntary and excessive movements. It may be hereditary of caused
by other factors such as birth-related, physical trauma, infection, poisoning, or reaction to
pharmaceutical drugs, especially neuroleptics. Treatment is difficult and has been limited
to minimizing the symptoms, since there is no cure.
As for symptoms, they are varied. Many sufferers have continual pain, cramping and
relentless muscle spasms due to involuntary muscle movements. Others are possible
including lip smacking.
Dystonia can affect the eyelids called focal eyelid dystonia (blepharospasm), the vocal
cords called Spasmodic Dysphonia, the lower face called Ormandibular Dystonia, the
neck called Cervical Dystonia or Spasmodic Torticollis, and more.
I have suffered with focal eyelid dystonia which affected my eyelids. My excessive blinking
symptoms were alleviated within six weeks after I started taking a natural and organic
multi-nutritional food. I have been near symptom-free for the past 16 years and have the
desire to help others find relief. If this food helped me, maybe it can help others. My
claims of safety and effectiveness were proved through a study done at Johns Hopkins
Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland.
In addition, I offer my services as a fellow sufferer, who conquered the disorder, to be
your personal wellness coach and try to duplicate my experience with you.

Chocolate Protein "Sundae" – Recipe
Written on February 7, 2013 at 9:05 am , by Jennifer Swafford
After my workout today, I wanted something other than a protein shake. I wanted ice cream. I was hot and sweaty and I just wanted to sit down with a big old sundae and indulge.
However, I did NOT want to undo all the hard work I had just put in on the treadmill So, I made an executive decision. I would take my knowledge of what is good after a workout, banana and protein powder. I would combine these two things and make a healthy post workout snack and STILL give in to my sundae craving.
Here is what I created:
Not only did it taste A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, but it was only 3 Weight Watchers points plus for the entire sundae!
That is fewer than my famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Shake!
You simply must try this. You don't even have to workout to enjoy this one. If you didn't just finish a workout but just want it for a treat, just eliminate the protein powder. It will still work. Hey…you can even get crazy and add in your own "mix-ins." Just make sure you count them!
Without further ado…the recipe!
Chocolate Protein "Sundae"
Serves: 1
Weight Watchers Points Plus: 3 points plus (Plus additional toppings)
One frozen banana
One scoop Chocolate Protein Powder (I use Designer Whey)
Milk of Choice (I used half and half because it was all I had)
In a blender, food process, or Ninja, combine all of the ingredients.
Pulse until the banana is crumbly. Mix with a spoon to incorporate.
Then, wait for the magic to happen. As you continue to pulse the food processor, the banana will turn soft like "soft serve." If you find that it is too thick, add a little more milk. I probably used a total of 2 Tbsp half and half in mine.
Scoop out, top with fat free whipped cream, light syrup and sprinkles (all optional of course!).
Enjoy the heck out of this one. You deserve it!

Recipe: 1-Minute Better Than Granola
Written on November 5, 2012 at 9:46 am , by healthytippingpoint
I love granola, but I don't love 1) the price tag and 2) the high sugar content. Instead of regularly eating granola, I've switched to eating raw oats. I swear, it's tasty! While I normally just dump 1/2 cup of raw oatmeal into my yogurt, I occasionally 'dress it up' with this fun and simple recipe. No cooking required!
1-Minute Better Than Granola Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup raw oats
- 1.5 tablespoon unsweetened coconut
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds, raw and unsalted
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- Mix in small bowl; serve with fruit and yogurt.

Twice-Baked Goat Cheese Potatoes Recipe (Mmmm)
Written on August 20, 2012 at 10:18 am , by healthytippingpoint
This week, I thought I'd share my favorite healthy 'comfort food' recipe - Twice Baked Goat Cheese Potatoes.
Ingredients (serves six – eight)
10 small to medium Russet potatoes
1 8-ounce package of herb and garlic goat cheese (if only regular is available, add 1 tablespoon garlic and 2 tablespoons dried Italian herb blend to the recipe).
2 cups loosely packed raw spinach
6 carrots
1/2 tablespoon salt, plus more for sprinkling
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (alternatively, you can microwave the potatoes; do 3 – 4 potatoes at a time, individually wrapped in a wet paper towel, for 6 – 9 minutes)
Rinse potatoes, stab with a fork, and rub with olive oil.
Bake potatoes for 1 hour 10 minutes or until soft.
Remove from oven and slice lengthwise. Allow 5 minutes to cool off a bit.
Carefully remove the insides of the potatoes using a small spoon. Set potato insides in bowl; lay out skins on a greased casserole dish (or two).
In a food processor, combine the carrots and spinach until blended. Remove half and set aside.
Add goat cheese to remaining carrots and spinach and blend. Add half of potato mixture and blend. Add last half of potato mixture and blend some more. Add in salt. Add leftover spinach and carrots and blend yet again. It will take a while to get everything smooth and creamy.
Carefully scoop back cheese and potato mixture into potato skins. Sprinkle tops with a generous amount of salt.
Bake stuffed potato skins for an additional 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Serve and enjoy!

Sinless Cocktail Mix
Written on July 31, 2012 at 3:32 pm , by Jennifer Swafford
A few weeks ago, I enlightened you to the caloric horrors of most alcoholic beverages. The good news is, there are so many alternatives out there that you can have your drink and you don't have to feel guilty about it!
Sinless Cocktail Mix is one of those low calorie options that you can use and save lots of calories! Here are the facts on these mixes:
- Only 5 calories per serving
- Sweetened with Stevia Extract
- Sugar Free
- Made of All Natural Ingredients
- Comes in three flavors: Original, Strawberry, and Sweet and Sour
So, how does it taste you ask? Well, I certainly have a favorite! I actually thought I would like the strawberry better than the original margarita flavor. I did not! The strawberry was OK – just not my favorite! However, the original margarita flavor was yummy! It definitely did not taste like it only had 5 calories per serving! I adjusted the mix a little and did two parts tequila to one part mix and it was perfect. The recipe was so easy to make!
Their website has a whole page dedicated just to yummy recipes that you can use with their mixes! They also have a convenient store locator so you can buy some and try them for yourself! Just make sure you look in the refrigerator section of the liquor store!
Save yourself some calories and check out these sinless cocktail mixers! Have you tried them?
Now for my disclaimer – Be Careful How Much You Drink. I am a lightweight. After
a few drinks one drink, I am D-O-N-E. Then, five year olds get to have their way with you (and your hair). Here are the pics to prove it!

Cures for Chafing
Written on July 30, 2012 at 11:36 am , by healthytippingpoint
In my mind, I look like a gazelle when I run… grace, strong, and steady. In reality, I'm sweating buckets, snot is pouring down my nose, and my thighs are chafing. Running is one of my favorite forms of exercise, but it isn't always pretty.
The top 5 running gross-outs include:
- Chafing
- Snot
- Blisters
- A nearly (and sometimes actually) uncontrollable urge to poop
- A nearly (and sometimes actually) uncontrollable urge to pee
Told ya running could be gross.
Let's tackle the first gross-out: chafing. Chafing occurs when your body rubs against itself (like between your thighs or your breasts) or when your body rubs up against your clothes. Chafing hurts a lot and can actually sideline you for a few days if it gets really bad. The odds you'll chafe are greater if you're a salty sweater or are dehydrated, have sensitive skin, are running for a long time, or your clothing is worn or has exposed seams.
I chafe like no one's business during the summer because I am a very salty sweater when it's hot outside.
There are several remedies for chafing:
- Rub Vaseline or Body Glide into your skin to make it slippery and therefore less likely to burn as it rubs against your other body parts or clothing. Chap stick also works well in a pinch (and is easy to carry on long runs).
- Line your chafe areas with athletic tape. This creates a permanent barrier against your skin (I tend to sweat through Vaseline).
- If you chafe in between your legs, wear spandex shorts underneath your running shorts.
To read my solutions for running-induced snot, blisters, and – of course – urges to go number 1 and number 2, head over to Healthy Tipping Point: How to Handle 5 Common Running Gross-Outs.
Caitlin blogs at Healthy Tipping Point and Operation Beautiful. You can follow her on Twitter at CaitlinHTP. Her second book, a guide to healthy living, was just released this past May.

3 Healthy and Delicious Zucchini Recipes
Written on July 16, 2012 at 11:19 am , by sweettoothsweetlife
This past year, I decided that I wanted to start my own garden.
As a young girl, my summers were always filled with fresh grown veggies from my dad's garden, and I was always amazed at just how much better they tasted. So fresh and flavorful. The best part was, I didn't have to do any of the work to enjoy them (well, except for those few times where my best friend and I would go in and pick the carrots and onions way before they were even ready – oops).
Now that I've been in my own home for almost four years, I figured it was about time to give the 'ol gardening thing a try. If you already know me, then you'd also know that my "green" thumb has always been a bit closer to being black. My ability to grow and maintain plants has not been a strong suit.
Despite my horrible track record, I decided to throw caution to the wind and give it a go. (Click to keep reading!) Read more

Soft Star Merry Jane Review
There's nothing like closing out a good year on a high note … and this month, Soft Star has released a new moccasin that's really the icing on the cake to celebrate a very impressive 2011.
Obviously, for me the Soft Star highlight of 2011 was running 100 miles in my RunAmocs – but setting aside the whole minimalist running phenomenon for a minute, Soft Star accomplished something else quite extraordinary this year: they made it possible for all of us to wear moccasins to work.
First it was the RunAmoc Dash, which was ostensibly created as a running model – and which I wear-tested for 50 muddy miles in March – but was quickly adopted by office workers who realized the smooth black leather option looks remarkably like a traditional office shoe – except, you know, without the heel and midsole and stiffness and narrow toe box or any other evils of modern footwear.
Unfortunately, this only benefited Soft Star's male clientele, so in order to achieve workplace equality, the next logical step was to develop a work-friendly shoe for the ladies. And with that, the Merry Jane was born.
|Soft Star Merry Janes!
But before we get to the details, two quick notes about the name: yes, that's the correct spelling, and no, I don't really like it*. I mean, it's kind of neat right now with the holidays upon us and all, but I suspect these shoes will get especially popular in the summertime - and it might seem kind of odd to order something in July with a product name that sort of sounds like Christmas. But perhaps that's just me being quirky – because aside from the name, there's not a whole lot to complain about with Soft Star's new
(*Apparently I'm vastly outnumbered, because when Soft Star took a poll on their Facebook page, people overwhelmingly loved the name. Just one more reason for me to dislike Facebook.)
From a functional standpoint, the coolest thing about the Merry Jane is that they're equally suitable for a professional setting, casual use, or good old-fashioned child's play. The stock colors are black and chocolate brown, either of which can easily complement formal office attire. However, if you're like the girls in my family, you can customize your colors to show off your personality a little bit.
For example, you can make the heel color different from the toe color, as my wife did with this pair that kind of reminds me of a lipstick container, or you can go with some eye-catching options …
… such as this pink model my oldest daughter wears. She's the more "girly" of my two daughters – the one who loves dolls and enjoys nurturing people (mostly her father) with massages or baking cookies – but she also likes to catch people's attention. So it didn't surprise me at all that this was the color she picked.
My youngest daughter is perpetually sunny and cheerful, so the lemon option she chose fits her nicely as well. She's also the adventurer / explorer of the family – and this color just screams "I can't wait to get these things dirty!"
Remember what I said about child's play? Soft Star's Merry Janes are also available in youth sizes, where the stock colors are fuchsia (the pink pair above), platinum, and black. Construction of the adult and youth versions is essentially identical … which reminds me that we really haven't started the spec rundown yet.
Like most Soft Star mocs, the Merry Jane consists of a two-part leather upper – but in this case the midfoot area is scooped low to create the classic Mary Jane styling. The adult version weighs in at just over 4oz on my kitchen scale, although weight will be somewhat variable depending on the size – regardless, these will certainly be among the lightest shoes in your collection.
One primary departure from normal Mary Janes is that the strap doesn't really buckle into place; instead, it's attached by Velcro to make for easy on/off – a convenience feature for adults, and an extremely helpful feature for little fingers when you're rushing to make the school bell in the morning. If you prefer, you can also remove the buckle completely for a more casual look.
The interior lining of the uppers and the insole consists of soft suede that all of my testers reported feels quite comfortable against bare skin. There isn't any traditional insole or footbed with these shoes – just a suede layer on top of the outsole in a simply minimal, back-to-basics arrangement.
For the Merry Jane outsole, Soft Star went with the same Vibram outsole that is used on their adult Rambler, which is designed for durable outdoor use. The outsole is 5mm thick, which combined with the suede insole lining gives the Merry Jane a total standing height of approximately 7mm. It is also fairly soft, and over a period of several days it will mold slightly to your foot for a practically custom fit.
More importantly, the outsole is completely flexible, allowing your foot to bend and flex in any direction necessary. Encouraging natural foot movement has been Soft Star's specialty from the very beginning, and it's great to see that as the product line expands, they haven't lost sight of this most critical element of shoe construction.
So despite my objection to the name, I'm really a big fan of the Soft Star Merry Janes – because they look cool, they're extremely versatile and functional, and they are as minimal as minimal can be. Best of all, my wife and daughters all love wearing them – and anything that gives the ladies in my life happy feet is highly valued in my book.
If you want some happy feet of your own, here are your links from the company website:
Soft Star Merry Jane women's version in black – prices starting at $75.
Soft Star Merry Jane women's in chocolate brown – starting at $75.
Soft Star Merry Jane youth version in fuchsia – starting at $54.

Anonymous said: I know a lot of people that have gotten sick from flu shots. I have never had the flu and stop getting vaccines years ago. You're the ignorant fuck if you think people "need" vaccines. It is a persons right to deny them and given a hell of a lot of proof people are justified to deny them as well
Ignorant fuck must be some new compliment because all these anti-vaxxers keep calling me that. You angels. I think I'll hang it next to my BFA and my not giving a fuck lifetime achievement award, but still leaving room on the wall for my MD, which is currently in progress and halfway completed.
Spoiler alert #1: you can't get the flu from the flu vaccine, which covers some strains of influenza. It's literally impossible. You can, however, get a flu-like illness from over a dozen other viruses, some of which have the same seasonal prevalence as influenza.
Spoiler alert #2: Your personal experience as a single unvaccinated person does not have any statistical significance. I'm really stoked you, a presumably healthy younger type of person with a functioning immune system and halfway decent nutrition, have not gotten the flu. I am. The flu sucks. However, babies, pregnant people, people with compromised immune systems or even chronic medical conditions such as asthma, and elderly, are very much at risk. When you, healthy person, get vaccinated, you do a little part to maybe prevent one of them from getting the flu and developing nasty complications such as deadly pneumonia.

Toss news: West Indies have chosen to bat.
Three changes for West Indies: Gayle, Chanderpaul and Roach come in for Edwards, Benn and Andre Russell
One change for Pakistan: Saeed Ajmal will come in for Rehman.
We shall squeeze in some reader comments here. The captain's quotes are below.
Tim: "Would have preferred to see Russell instead of Rampaul but other than that like both these teams. Glad Windies showed the guts to drop Benn, who has been very disappointing."
Farrukh: "good to see ajmal back in team…west indies dint inducted suleman benn in their attack…so roach,rampaul and bichoo would be their main weapons…but Pakistan have much better bowling then w indies…inshallah we will win…:)"
Sammy: "We gonna have a bat. We have to put a good total and come back and defend it. We are much more comfortable in setting a total. The bowling line up can defend it. This is do or die quarter-final, We have all the people in the Caribbean waking up now. We hope to put an excellent performance."
Afridi: "Toss doesn't give any difference. We bowled first against Australia; we will carry on with the same attitude. All the boys know the importance of this competition. We are very positive and looking forward to this game. Rehman has done a great job so far but we are going in with Saaed Ajmal as they have couple of left-handers. I am going in with the same batting order; maybe Razzaq might go up the order. We are planning game by game. Alhamdulillah, we have done a great job so far."
Pitch report by Wasim Akram: "There is green grass and hint of moisture but team will bat first. The ball will keep slow and low in the second innings. so win toss and bat first."

Enjoy Solid Long-Term Gains With These Stocks
Ken is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
For oil and gas companies, it is important for reserve replacement to production ratios to be at least at a level of 1; otherwise, they are depleting resources faster than they are finding new products. Some concerns are now being raised that this ratio is weaker than some oil companies are reporting, and that the weakness bodes ill for the industry. However, it bodes very well for the businesses that help them find and produce more.
Don't build the mine; sell the picks and shovels
There is an old adage in the investment world alluding to the fact that more wealth is created selling picks and shovels than by digging the mines. After all, every pick and shovel sold produces a profit but not every hole dug with one does.
While the oil companies only get paid when a well produces oil or gas, the companies that provide the equipment and services required to produce the hole get paid regardless. Providing exploration equipment and services to the oil industry is today's equivalent selling picks and shovels to the miners during the gold rush days.
Unless you believe that our dependence upon fossil fuels to provide the primary power supply for our lives will disappear in the next 10 years, you need to have an investment in the businesses that will prosper whether the wells drilled in search of those fuels are gushers or duds.
Big names offer big opportunities here
The big, well-known names in a given industry don't always constitute great investment opportunities; but it seems some do today in the oil services industry. Three names that will be familiar to most investors who have even a casual interest in the oil and gas industry are Schlumberger (NYSE: SLB), Halliburton (NYSE: HAL) and, Baker Hughes (NYSE: BHI). These businesses are going to exist and prosper as long as oil and gas companies are searching for and accessing new sources of supply. Even better, these businesses are currently valued as if they have more risk exposure than the overall stock market; when they probably have much less.
Low valuations and risk create big opportunities
With 2014 P/E ratios projected at 13.2, 10.52, and 10.97 and projected five-year earnings growth rates of 15.7%, 16.1%, and 15%, respectively, Schlumberger, Halliburton, and Baker Hughes all trade well below a PEG ratio of 1. These valuations are nothing short of astonishing. The shares of these businesses could easily rise higher and still only be trading at a very reasonable price to earnings growth ratio of 1. This would still allow the share price to continue rising in tandem with the projected double-digit growth in earnings without becoming the least bit overvalued.
The one concern I have within this group is Baker Hughes. With the return on equity, assets, and capital over the last five years at 10.6%, 6.6%, and 7.9%, respectively, the numbers are somewhat low and 30% to 50% below those achieved by Schlumberger and Halliburton.
Global demand for energy is not going to go away, and as we continue to see improvement in the global economy, demand for new energy resources will grow.
Schlumberger is one of the few businesses in the industry that can deploy its assets anywhere in the world and literally take an energy project from the start of exploration and defining of the resource once a find is made, through their Reservoir Evaluation Group, to drilling the wells, and then managing the entire project during its life through their Drilling and Production Groups. They can also be brought in to correct problems that arise on existing projects. This wide range of expertise virtually assures them of continued growth, as future energy supplies become more difficult to find and access.
Through its Drilling and Evaluation Group and Completion and Production Group, Halliburton can provide a complete package of services from initial exploratory drilling right through oversight and management of the production. With existing operations in 80 countries and 55% of revenue derived from U.S.-based projects, Halliburton is poised to profit from the domestic energy exploration and drilling boom currently underway, and take advantage of the growing demand for drilling services around the globe. Even without any growth in demand for oil and gas, demand for Halliburton's services will grow as existing projects reach the end of their useful life and the production must be replaced.
A real surprise
Every so often, when researching industry specific investment opportunities, a name so unexpected pops up that I have to go back and double check to make sure I did not make a mistake in the search criteria. That happened with this analysis when I found myself staring at a report prepared by International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM) discussing the cost savings applications they provide for oil and gas production businesses.
After giving a bit of thought to the concept, it makes perfect sense that an industry and process as complex as oil and gas exploration and production would be a perfect customer for a business built around the management of complex data solutions designed to increase efficiency and reduce cost. While I was surprised to see how successfully IBM has integrated itself into the information infrastructure of the oil and gas industry's data management function, now that it has, it will remain with them forever as there will never be enough of an incentive to go through the pain that would be involved in removing them.
I believe it is fair to value a business and its prospects for share appreciation based upon the sum of its five-year projected earnings growth rate plus the dividend divided by the next year's project price to earnings ratio and seeking a result of 1 or less. In the case of IBM, that calculation produces a result of 1. Given that IBM has increased its dividend payment at an annual rate of 17% over the past five years and has a sum of dividend yield plus earnings growth rate of 11%, investors in IBM today should easily expect to satisfy expectations for an 11% return on their investment for years to come.
When a provider of critical services integrates itself into an industry that provides a critical product, it is virtually guaranteed to be a winner if purchased at a reasonable price.
Unusual final thoughts
It is very unusual for me to find businesses that I can buy and forget about for the next 10 years. Today, I have found three at the same time. Lazy investors, such as myself, who love double-digit annual gains but detest hard work can buy Schlumberger, Halliburton, and IBM today, sit back, and enjoy the profits for the next 10 years…….maybe longer.
Domestic oil & gas service companies have taken a hit in the recent past due to a slowdown in the natural gas drilling boom of the last couple of years. As this market looks to rebound, investors would be wise to consider Halliburton, one of the top companies in the business and one of those most in tune with the domestic market.

This was very good. I followed the recipe as-is and the only thing I'd change is cutting back on the red pepper flakes. It wasn't overly hot, but I didn't find it added anything by putting heat into this already-good soup. I'm thinking of throwing in a few cheese tortellini later on when I reheat.

Distracted driving has become an epidemic in the United States, that's according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
In fact, in 2009, reports show that more than 5,400 people died in crashes linked to distraction. In fact, "texting while driving" has become such a prominent hazard that 35 states now ban text messaging for all drivers.
"It's even more dangerous then driving while intoxicated, you are 23 times more likely to be in an accident while you're texting and driving," said Steve Kozachik, Ward 6 Council Member.
Kozachik has been spear heading the ordinance to ban texting while driving. In fact, the city council will host a public hearing Tuesday night, about a possible ban on texting and driving. Kozachik says Tucson has had a horrible year in traffic fatalities, especially with pedestrians and cars.
"Frankly, when you are texting you are doing the three most critical things that you shouldn't be doing. You're taking your eyes off the road, you're hands off the wheel and you're mind off of what you're doing."
If the ordinance were to pass, it would be effective immediately. The fine would be $100-$250.
If you're interested in attending the public hearing, it starts 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, at City Hall.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin coach Gary Andersen's first recruiting class is highlighted by a pair of defensive ends from suburban Milwaukee.
Alec James of Brookfield East and Chikwe Obasih (CHEEK'-way oh-BASH'-ee) from Brookfield Central are among six players from Wisconsin who signed national letters of intent with the Badgers on Wednesday, about two months after coach Bret Bielema left for Arkansas. Andersen and his staff were able to retain most of the prospects who initially committed before Bielema's departure.
Another standout in the group is Corey Clement, who could be the next great Badgers running back from south New Jersey. Clement played at Glassboro High School, not far from where former Heisman Trophy winner Ron Dayne grew up. Clement will help fill the void created by the departure of Montee Ball.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WDRB) -- Is Instant Racing legal in Kentucky? The question is important to the state's racetracks.
On Wednesday, the Kentucky Supreme Court heard arguments that could settle the issue.
Two racetracks in Kentucky have Instant Racing. The court will decide whether the games can remain and expand, or whether the entire operation will be shut down.
In Instant Racing, players use a terminal to bet on previously run races. The racetracks say it's a way to generate much-needed revenue for purses.
Before the High Court, supporters of Instant Racing argue it's another form pari-mutuel betting, which is legal in Kentucky.
"The Racing Commission held hearings to approve these specific games and decided that they were pari-mutuel and appropriate and able to go forward," said William Hoskins, an attorney for Appalachian Racing.
"And it makes no difference that it's a video of a past race. It is a horse race. And it is a legitimate horse race," added Peter Ervin, an attorney for the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission.
But the Family Foundation, which opposes Instant Racing, says it's more like slot machines and an illegal expansion of gambling.
"I do not believe that wagering on historical races is the functional equivalent of pari-mutuel wagering," argued Stan Cave, attorney for the Family Foundation. "Especially when it's on a device that displays a 2-foot by 3-foot, 3-second video of a bunch of horses that are already dead."
When it was over, both sides agreed that the future health of the horse industry is at stake.
"It's not the equivalent of slots and it's not the equivalent of casinos in other states, but the Racing Commission is doing the best that it can to promote and protect our signature industry," said Bill Lear, who represents several tracks, including Keeneland.
"The horse breeders in the state are not benefiting any from dead horses racing on videos. If we really want to help the horse industry in this state, then what we need to do is accentuate live racing, which is not what this is," said Martin Cothran, policy analyst for the Family Foundation.
Any decision will likely take several months.

Wine Label Theme Save the Date Magnets The mini magnet came out perfect. We had no trouble with it sticking on our fridge. Looks just like it does online.
Save the date magnets
Classic Allure Save the Date Magnets We loved the idea of save the date magnets so I spent a couple weeks researching different companies. The prices and quality of their product are top notch and we are very pleased with the results. They arrived in time and in perfect condition and I love how flexible they are with the wording and color pallet. Next step is ordering the matching invitations. I suggest ordering the "Only one" so you can see the quality for yourself ( we are very pleased with that as well.) I am very impressed with the level of service we have received thus far and will definitely recommend them to others.
Simple and Elegant
Classic Allure Save the Date Magnets My fiance and I didn't want anything too extravagant or expensive. These save the dates were perfect. They are a bit thin, but stuck to the fridge with know problem. I was afraid the font would be too small, but that wasn't a problem at all. We found them to be very classy, understated and the perfect way to start letting guests know about our wedding.

Just wanted to single this out for response:
"As a dps the DF or finding a raid spot can be pretty tough as is, imagine if half the raids in the game suddenly needed 4-7 fewer dps players. Tanks and healers essentially stay the same, but the demand for dps drops pretty drastically."
I think you are confusing 5man heroics for raid spots. Yes, in a 5-man heroic world, dps will have to wait quite a bit. But in 25man raids, the ratio reverses for tanks and dps... it's usually easy to find decent tanks for 25 mans, but harder to fill out dps spots. It tends to be most annoying to fill out healer spots (blech can't tell you how many pug/gdkp raids I ran where we are waiting forever for healers). In a 20man raid, it's not likely there would be 3-4 tanks per encounter, so the number of tanks would still be lower. All 20man raiding does is drop the need for a healer and likely 4 dps, and this actually can make bigger raiding better as patch cycles go along, because you'd be amazed at how much less of a hassle it is to organize 20 people versus 25.
Also, in most guilds, aren't there probably 4 dps or more that the rest of the dps are carrying? Hell there've been certain times where me and like 2 other people are carrying the other 15 dps.
Final point: with 20man raids, you might get more guilds that do more 10mans to upscale to that level, assuming they have 2 solid 10 man teams. Currently this is much more difficult with a 25 man raid type as the other spots would have to come from less-than-normal raiders, or pugs, or from a recruitment drive, which can be a big headache for guild leadership.

With everyone on their way home or already home from RT, I thought I'd chat a bit about conferences from a slightly different point of view.
From the point of view of someone who stays home.
This business we're in is kind of funny in that a lot of the time the isolation can be almost crippling. But then there is the occasional binge of friends and meetings and panels and pitches and parties and fun (or so I've heard).
Yip, it's feast or famine around here.
So how can those of us who don't get to go to the feasts be involved, be in touch, be part of?
Today we have a thousand and one types of social media to help us connect with people. But is it the same as looking someone in the eye? Shaking someone's hand? Getting down with someone to Aretha?
I don't know.
Two weeks ago I went to a talk given by a local cop about protecting our kids online – scared the bejeezes out of me and I immediately came home and put Band Aids over the camera lens on our laptops (do you know that just by clicking on the wrong banner you can get a virus that activates your computer's camera remotely, and the camera can be on even if the little light isn't?) Anyway, the cop said something that stuck with me. He said that today you ask a kid how many friends they have and they'll give you some astronomical number. They'll give you the number of Facebook friends they have–friends they've never actually played with, never actually spoken to–and that can be dangerous because they often allow these 'friends' the same amount of intimacy they would give a friend that lives next door, who goes to school with them and knows their family and shares their life, their real life.
Is this true for us big kids too?
Can we consider our many friends on Twitter, Facebook, Skype, MySpace (do people still use that?), Divas, the blogosphere actual friends? Well, sometimes I think we can. While I don't think we can create the same amount of closeness we have with our friends that knew us when we were young and stupid and have a world of history with, there is a lot to be said for virtual friends. Especially when you're a million miles from everyone and cables and Wi-Fi are the only connections we have to other people like us.
I should get back to what started this ramble… Can we live vicariously through our virtual friends and their tweets, updates and blog posts when we don't get to go to conferences? Maybe? No, it's probably not the same as actually being there…but as my dad used to say, you make do with what you have.
And when you think of it, we're better off today than we were years ago before the explosion of social media. Today we get to read the awesome notes author friends tweet while they're attending panels and talks. We get to see pictures of so-and-so's new shoes instantly uploaded. We get to be part of things in a small way. And that's something. It might not be a feast—it's probably more like a low-calorie lunch—but it something.
So, as I settle in with my second mug of coffee in one hand and my mouse in the other, I'm off to see who said something interesting/smart/inappropriately funny, who wore something interesting/smart/inappropriately funny and who did…well, you get the idea.

Back in the days when long distance traveling was the exception rather than the rule. People kept in touch with those who were no longer local by writing long letters. Some correspondents had face time for major family events, such as funerals. Others, separated by emmigrations, might only meet on paper. If we can call those correspondents "friends", why can't online correspondents become friends?
Personally, I don't miss two weeks (or more) waiting for my letter to arrive, be read, writing the response, and then the return mail trip. There's a reason people wrote those looong chatty letters that historians love. People who couldn't talk, wrote their conversations.
What a great post. I agree, it's not the same as being there. And to be honest, though I've made some really nice acquaintances via the computer, I don't know that I'd call those people my friends, per se. It's hard to connect when nuance isn't there. Words on a page/monitor don't mean the same without inflection.
I totally get you on the Facebook/camera thing. I'm paranoid, but I never plug in the camera unless my kids are Skyping–with my permission. You never know when that camera or mic is really on.
@Virginia ~ Agree on not missing the long wait for letters to come through! I grew up in Africa so it was not always waiting for *when* stuff would arrive but often waiting to see *if* it would. There is something to be said for an actual hold-in-your-hand letter though. I have a box of them that I've dragged with me around the world a few times. My favorite is a short note my dad wrote to me on the back of someone else's letter explaining how to set our old VCR. Ahh, snail mail and VCRs, the days when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
@Marie ~ I think a lot of the time chemistry is involved with how close people can become online (when isn't it really?) One of my online friends and I chat about a lot of stuff I wouldn't talk about with "real" friends face-to-face. It's funny because I know her so well but just might walk by her on the street if she doesn't look look her avatar.

FRIDAY, April 18, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Restaurants near public housing developments tend to offer unhealthy meals, a new study finds.
Researchers analyzed menus from 61 fast-food and 72 table-service restaurants within a half mile of 13 housing developments and four residential neighborhoods in the Kansas City, Kan., and Kansas City, Mo., areas.
The housing developments and residential neighborhoods had similar numbers of restaurants, the majority of them fast-food outlets in both types of communities. Residents of the housing developments were predominately black and had low incomes.
"There has been a lot of research looking at the 'food desert' concept in which healthy foods are less available or accessible in lower-income neighborhoods," study co-author Katie Heinrich, an assistant professor of kinesiology at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kan., said in a university news release. "In this study we found that both neighborhoods had equal access to foods, but that the quality of those available to public housing was much lower."
About three-quarters of the entrees offered at restaurants near housing developments were high in calories and fat and low in whole grains, vegetables and fruits, according to the study in a recent issue of the American Journal of Health Behavior.
"There is the thought that people are unhealthy because they make poor choices, and that can certainly be true. But there is a huge influence from the environment that people are in that goes beyond individual responsibility," Heinrich said.
"Here we saw that 75 percent of the time it's going to be very easy to pick an unhealthy entree from a menu because those unhealthy entrees make up the majority of a menu," she said.
The researchers also found that table-service restaurants offered more healthy entrees than fast-food restaurants. And fast-food restaurants were more likely to promote super-sized meal items, and to target youngsters by having mascots and offering toys with food items.
The study findings are "important because if you go to a restaurant that has a few healthy choices and a lot of unhealthy choices, the chance of picking an unhealthy entree increases significantly," Heinrich said.
Fast-food outlets outnumber table-service restaurants near public housing developments, and this imbalance can lead people with tight budgets to choose cheaper, unhealthy foods, Heinrich explained.
"I think that there is a delicate balance between trying to make healthy food choices and having your environment facilitate healthy choices," she said. "But if we don't set up environments where the majority of choices can potentially be healthy, it becomes much more likely that people are going to make unhealthy choices."

I though the same. If the boss requires something like 200 people to kill it, most of the problems would be solved, because no one guild can kill it. There is still a chance that the other faction will try to prevent the kill on PvP servers. The only world boss I killed recently was Omen, and there both Alliance and Horde players helped to down it. There was some PvP after the kill :)

Matt Redman: A Worship Leader's Song
- Thursday, August 10, 2000
By Bruce Adolph, courtesy of {{Christian Musician}}
When you survey the recent landscape of the modern worship movement, you really can't help but notice the effect that {{Matt Redman}} has had on it. He writes with a stark honesty and intimacy that others are now trying to emulate. The young worship leader has not only been a major part of the movement in England and Europe, but he's also made a large impact in this arena in the US, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
Matt's third worship album, ==The Father's Song== recently released. Once again, it is a studio album with a very current sound. Matt stays away from the norms of recording a "live" worship experience, but still draws the listeners into a well-produced album of vertically aimed music.
I recently flew to San Jose, California, to attend Worship Together's worship leader conference. Matt led worship and taught seminars, as he's doing all over the world. Since it's rare to catch Matt in the States, I was very excited about the opportunity to sit down with him. Not knowing anything about his temperament (yes, some musicians are melancholy!), I was greatly relieved and pleasantly surprised to find him not only genuinely friendly, but eager to talk about his views on modern worship.
{{Christian Musician}}: What are the differences between leading worship in your own church on a Sunday morning and leading a large live worship event?
Matt Redman: In some ways it's exactly the same leading worship in church and leading at a large event. The aim is the same: to encourage people to meet with Jesus and bring an offering before Him. In that way, it is the same, so we do the same songs and such.
A good worship leader is someone who leads strongly enough so that people follow, but not so strongly that they become the focus. In some ways, that can be one of the differences, because in your church, everyone knows you. But in a big conference, where people are only seeing you do what you do best, and they don't know anything else about you, the tendency sometimes is to get a bit hyped.
So one of the main differences is trying to make sure that what goes on at a conference has worth, and is really something meaningful. As a worship leader, I pray that the Holy Spirit will help us to do that. It would be a tragedy if someone went home saying, "Great gig." We want people to go home saying, "I met with God tonight."
CM: How do you prepare to lead worship, spiritually and physically?
MR: Spiritually, you're always trying to find out what God's doing. "What are you doing tonight, Lord?" Especially if you're doing a tour like we're doing here in America right now. It can be hard night after night to find a fresh thing. Then it's also hard to stay fresh week after week in your own church. On a tour you only do one or two nights, and then you move on. But in your church, fifty-two times a year you've got to be fresh. I think that it's probably harder in the local church.
So I prepare simply by asking, "Is there anything in particular You'd like?" Often I don't feel like I get a whole song list. God doesn't write it out on stone tablets for me. It's more likely to be that I feel one song in particular to bank on, and then I build the rest of the song list with a bit of common sense. What songs have we done recently, what have we done to death? There are some songs in church that we play to death. "It was a great song fifteen weeks ago, but we've done it twice every week since." You've got to be aware of all that stuff.
CM: Your songs have had an impact on teenagers and college-age people. How do you encourage local worship leaders to reach the young people in their congregations?
MR: One way is by writing songs. Obviously one thing we're doing is writing songs and putting them on albums. The reason we do that is to offer a resource. If anyone wants to do our songs they can. But it's also great when someone in a congregation writes a home-grown song and uses it. I think it's a precious thing when a song comes out of the immediate experience of that congregation, and they can identify completely with it.
I really encourage worship leaders to get on their knees and get into hard work as well and write some worship songs. It doesn't matter if you only ever do them in your own church. It's not about that. It's a fantastic way of serving your church and blessing the Lord's heart and just encouraging folks.
CM: How do you maintain such a deep level of honesty in your songs? Do they come that way or do you have to labor to get to that place?
MR: I personally start in worship and end up in worship. I don't ever sit down to write a worship song thinking, "I'm going to write about this today." It's just the overflow of my heart. Jesus said that out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. It's the same way with writing songs; you can't keep it in because it's the overflow. In that sense, it's not hard to be honest.
Sometimes, if you're too honest, it can be bad actually. It becomes too subjective, and is very much about you. Then other people can't relate to it. What you're trying to do in writing a worship song is focus on a universal theme, but express it in a unique way. Find a theme that everyone thinks about-that is a biblical truth-and reflect it in a way musically and lyrically that no one's ever done it before.
I think more than anything, my songs are starting from Bible verses these days. I just wrote a song from Ecclesiastes chapter five called "Let My Words Be Few." I've read it loads of times, but I never thought I'd write a song out of Ecclesiastes-it's so deep and depressing for me. I saw this line that says, "God is in heaven, and you are on earth, so let your words be few." And it went on to say, "Therefore stand in awe of God." That's fantastic.
It's great when you find stuff like that. The good thing about the Bible is you can plagiarize it, and instead of getting sued you actually get encouraged.
CM: Have you studied the songwriting craft?
MR: To a degree. I can't even read music, to be honest. I just try to surround myself with people who are better than me, and I seem to get through life. I haven't read any books on songwriting or anything like that, but I just keep my eyes open, and my ears open. You hear a CD of a band that you think is good and you make a mental note of it.
It's interesting, we do a song called "You've Got to Sing Like the Saved," which has got a transpose in it. I couldn't figure out how to do the verses in it, and then I heard a song by Gerri Halliwell, one of the Spice Girls-Ginger Spice, called "Look at Me." And it has this transpose in it, then it goes back down. So I decided to try that, and it worked.
Lyrically, I've been reading lots of hymns. It's like reading poetry, but you're also coming across truth expressed in fresh ways.
CM: Do you ever get writer's block? How do you break through?
MR: I think usually, as a worship songwriter, writer's blocks are a sign of not doing very well with the Lord. The motivation shouldn't be, "I need to write a song," but "I need to get to know the Lord for who He is." So if you can't write stuff, it's usually because you're not getting fresh revelation.
Like I said, reading old hymns can really open your eyes to new and fresh ways of looking at things. I've written a song called "Take the World but Give Me Jesus," which is on the new album. It's just a line from an old Fannie Crosby song. She was a blind woman who wrote over 8,000 hymns and songs. That's inspiring itself. Someone once asked her if she regretted the fact that she was born blind. She said that she rejoices in the fact that the first face she'll ever see is the face of Jesus. Stuff like that can be really inspiring and help you get out of a rut.
CM: What songwriters have influenced you?
MR: Loads of people. Obviously the worship stuff. Martin Smith and those guys [from {{Delirious}}] have been quite instrumental, because they were doing a fresh thing. Martin produced a couple of albums that we did. I learned a lot about songwriting working with him.
I'm getting more and more into the Beatles, actually. I bought a magazine recently that has all their songs, and it's fantastic because it has lots of chords. The second chord on "Let My Words be Few" on our new album is a really Beatle-esque chord. I had never come across it before, and I played it and liked it, so I put it in the song.
CM: Do you have a spiritual mentor that you work with?
MR: Not directly. Several of us work as a team, pretty much. My wife keeps me accountable. Mike is a wonderful friend and pastor, we've worked together for thirteen years. We try to keep each other on the straight and narrow.
CM: When you get run down, how do you recharge your batteries?
MR: In terms of spiritually, I just want to go to church sometimes and not lead worship. And at the Worship Together conferences, we lead a couple of sessions, but then we get to just hang out and be in sessions with other people leading worship. A lot of the guys find that very refreshing. I certainly have.
In terms of leisure, I'm a very boring person. I just go to the cinema.
{{Christian Musician}}: What's the most important thing that you want to communicate through your music?
{{Matt Redman}}: I think the fact that when we're singing songs, we're not just singing to the air. It's not like they're empty songs. They're being sung to the throne of heaven. God in heaven is listening to us. If we sing from the passion of our hearts-out of the overflow-and if we live what we sing, that's very precious to the heart of God.
